the bible helps set a moral code and a foundation to how we govern ourselves. i do not believe in the bible, but that's not to say i don't believe that there isn't a higher being. there's no point in worrying about the end; the future. the present is what's happening, and that's even more important.

The Bible refers to the Rapture as the end of the world. This is when Jesus returns to take Christians to Heaven with Him - all material things, including all clothing will be left behind. The only people left on Earth will be those who haven't accepted Christ and like 150,000 who have, and what is left will be controlled by the devil. The remaining Christians must preach the word to all sinners who were not taken to Heaven, and give them another chance to save themselves. This, I believe, is what will be considered the end of the world.

i've been going to a christian school since i was two and i've been studing the bible forever, the end of the world has nothing to do with the bible

yes the world is gonna end in a long time from now when the sun gets old, and swells up, engulfing all the planets, then it puffs off its outter shell and the only thing left is the core of the sun wich is just a bunch of stuff compressed togeather really tight like iron or somthing weird

I'M SOOOOOOOOOO sorry bouth the double, but the person above me

TMAUZE, thats not true...were did u read that? the only thing that is true, is that god is going to go to battle with the devil some time but we dont know when, and we will know when it is happening. not that we might be alive. but whatever u said is like.....not true.....the end of the world is science

i've been going to sunday school since i was born. and im sooo confused. the end of the world has NOTHING to do with the bible? then what's revelations about?



...i thought it was that the sun would expand when it gets too old...then contract... and become a huuuuge black hole? or am i completely off my rocker.




...yea. im confused about this too. where does it say taht all material things will be left behind? (are u referring to the series, Left Behind?...cuz...those are...fiction.)

at a christian school. i've been brought up in a place where the rapture is going to be the end of the world. i've never heard that god is going to battle with the devil, where did you learn that? why would he waste his time anyways, god would obviously win.

I think the problem here is people have been known to translate the bible in many different ways, even the same exact phrase can be manipulated to reveal a different side or viewpoint.......it is immpossible to have one clear cut view of this matter, because it is not said that way in the bible. So there really is no "truth" "right or wrong"... just what you and others interpret it to be.

i sometime never really believe that kind of stuff but apparently everything in the bible is true so according to my religion, it will happen if it is in the bible. but i could care less because i am not afraid of dying because i know that i will be in a better place...heaven.

aw well said frankie, well said.
I didnt know you were a christian
that is flippin awesome!

if what I type right here comes true, will you start believing the endtimes is true?

this is straight from the Bible...

Jesus said that the last days would be preceded by several things: many false Christs would come, deceiving many; we would “hear of wars and rumors of wars”; and there would be an increase in “famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows” (Matthew 24:5-8). Today’s news is full of apostate religions, warfare, and natural disasters. We know that events of the Tribulation will include all that Jesus predicted (Revelation 6:1-8); what we see today seems to be a build-up for greater trouble ahead.



Paul warned that the last days would bring a marked increase in false teaching. “In the latter times, some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils” (1 Timothy 4:1). The last days are described as “perilous times” because of the increasingly evil character of man and people who actively “resist the truth” (2 Timothy 3:1-9; see also 2 Thessalonians 2:3). Our Twenty-first Century world has embraced moral relativism, tainting even the church. For example, many denominations are having a hard time defining marriage as being between one man and one woman, and many religious leaders today are openly supporting homosexuality. The Bible has become subordinate to the modern church’s quest for a more appealing “truth.” These are indeed “perilous times” spiritually.



The formation of the European Union—and the fact that we have a reunified Germany—is very interesting in light of biblical prophecy. The “ten toes” of Daniel 2:42 and the ten-horned beasts of Daniel 7:20 and Revelation 13:1 are references to a “revived” Roman Empire which will hold power before Christ returns. The pieces seem to be falling into place, politically.



In 1948, Israel was recognized as a sovereign state, and this, too, has ramifications for the student of scripture. God promised Abram that his posterity would have Canaan as “an everlasting possession” (Genesis 17:8), and Ezekiel prophesied a physical and spiritual resuscitation of Israel (Ezekiel 37). Having Israel as a nation in its own land is important in light of end-time prophecy, because of Israel’s prominence in eschatology (Daniel 10:14; 11:41; Revelation 11:8).
