John Piper says that he doesn't think that the second coming is any time soon.

I agree. Interesting stuff

god i hope. how exciting would that be?

We cannot just keep on going on doing whatever we want to do, and not taking responsibility for our actions, and expecting "Superman" to come flying down out of the sky and "save the world". The human race needs to grow up and take responsibility for our choices."God" helps those that help themselves.We have the capacity to forgive and be forgiven. Each and every one of us. Jesus said so. Jesus showed us the way to make this world a better place.

It seems strange to have to lie,
About a world so bright.
And tell instead a made-up story,
From the world of night.

I wish, that I could really tell you,
All the things that happened to me
And all that I have seen,
A world full of people their hearts full of joy,
Cities of light with no fear of war,
And thousands of creatures with happier lives,
And dreams of a future with meaning and no need to lie,
No need to hate,
No need to hide.

End-Timers




Is the Swine Flu one of the plagues of Revelation?

Why wont any of you people answer the question?



Guess I was right about you "end timers"


All talk and no substance

Actually the book of Daniel and various potions of the psalms contain end time prophecy as well.

100 years? Sounds like the history of the human race!

Is it happening now?If so,please provide me at least 3 points of evidence.

MM,
You are going to have a long wait.

I've begun to notice that. I can't get a straight answer out of anyone. They just say stuff like "The End is near" but won't backup anything they say with any evidence.

Mirror, I find it interesting that the OP has already deactivated his account since he couldn't convince the non believers of his ideas. I guess his end of time on this site was here!

He was actually a pretty cool kid.I am just asking for a direct answer from anyone that believes it is the "end of the world". Lots of people say that but no one can provide any evidence it seems.

New Flash!!!

Mosquitoes are biting outside like crazy!

It has rained four out of the last five days!!

Our president is black!!!

It that good enough? What do I win if I was the only entrant?

lol

There actually are some serious events that are brewing. They may not happen but they have a lot of people worried.

The super volcano under Yellowstone is acting up. It blows every seventy thousand years or so (I think). The park has recently shifted several feet.

The thermal engine that powers the Gulfstream which distributes heat across the planet is powering down due to insufficient arctic ice melt.

The temperature of the oceans is rising; possibly enough to release the vast stores of methane hydrate. The methane release would increase global warming by a very very very large factor due to the fact that methane is a far more efficient greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide.

PBS has done some good programs on NOVA on these topics.

Just for fun, here is some methane hydrate information. It is not a topic many people are much aware. The energy content could fuel the world if we could figger out how to collect it. Note it could have ended the ice age in about twenty years!! That's end of days kind of stuff!!

Atmospheric Methane
Oceanic Burp Warmed Earth

Researchers have found evidence to support a theory that an abrupt warming of the Earth 55 million years ago was caused by the sudden release from the ocean of frozen deposits of methane.

Core samples and soundings taken off the east coast of Florida indicate that massive amounts of methane, stored as frozen hydrate in sediments on the ocean floor was feed at about the same time as a rapid warming of the global climate. The finding, published in the journal Science, supports a theory that the release of gas hydrates caused what is called the latest Paleocene thermal maxim. This was a period 55.5 million years ago when ocean temperatures soared by 7 to 14 degrees Fahrenheit within only about 1,000 years, a short period by geologic standards.

A warming trend on land opened migration routes for animals and led to a rapid evolution of more advanced species. The first primates, for instance, appeared during this period.

"This event allowed primitive mammals to both radiate and to evolve into more modern mammals", said Miriam Katz of Rutgers University, the first author of the paper.

But Katz said that while land animals thrived, there was a massive die-off of 55 percent of some deep-sea species. This has been blamed on changes in water temperature and chemistry.

"Nobody has been able to explain this sudden climate change, until the methane theory was proposed", she said.

Release of methane may have contributed to the rapid warming that ended the last ice age in less than 20 years about 13,000 years ago. Until recent studies of ice cores by scientists from the University of New Hampshire it was assumed that the melting of massive glaciers took place over a period of many hundreds of years.

Overall, methane levels have increased dramatically over the past 200 years, said Dr. David Etheridge of CSIRO's Division of Atmospheric Research. Its concentration in the atmosphere now averages 1,700 parts per billion, compared to 700 parts per billion 200 years ago. Methane levels were fairly stable up until the industrial revolution 200 years ago, said Dr. Etheridge. This suggests that human activities such as burning of biomass, fossil fuel exploration and distribution, rice farming, livestock and landfills were the main source of the increase.

Since 1970, the average arctic temperature has risen about 5 degrees. The permafrost now thaws enough each summer to release methane.

Atmospheric methane increased 135% during the 20th century

"I am advising all State officials around Yellowstone National Park for a potential State of Emergency. In the last week over 252 earthquakes have been observed by the USGS. We have a 3D view on the movement of magma rising underground. We have all of the pre warning signs of a major eruption from a super volcano. - I want everyone to leave Yellowstone National Park and for 200 miles around the volcano caldera."

Gulf Stream Slowing - Europe Doomed


The Gulf Stream, which raises temperatures in Europe by 10C, and goes up past Greenland to Scandinavia, has slowed by 30% in the last twelve years, according to the article, and current itself has slowed by 6m tonnes of water per second over the same period.


MM,
