I've been doing a lot of deep thinking for sometime now on this.
I know we are not supposed to understand or guess when the Good Lord will return.
But I look at what is going on, not just in the USA, but all around the world. I have a thought that keeps jumping out at me. Well it's more than a thought, it's the waking dreams I have been having for weeks.
I've discussed this with a old preacher I know. He told me to me to trust in the Lord and forget about it, Easter said than done when I wake up every night in a cold sweat and shaking all over.

Well here it is. We are in the 7 years of tribulations.
August 2017 was the start. The solor eclipse in the USA. Went from Florida to Washington
April 2024 is the next one. They cross almost exactly in the center of the USA. From California to Maine
Why the USA? Largest population of Christians in the world
I know your thinking that's not 7 years. Well in the Hebrew calander it is only a few days off
And I'm not drinking or smoking anything

We should be rejoicing!! Not panicking.

But yes, I believe we are nearing the gates.

Not possible to repeat Noah if you'll recall.

As far as the End Days...well it started like we are getting closer every day.

I don’t how long we have, but I have strong assurance of where I will go.
I hope all on here have that same assurance

Follow the advice of the "old preacher". Don't worry about it, if you're worrying about it you aren't trusting "in the Lord".

Yes-

For just as the days of Noah were,so the presence of the Son of man will be. For as they were in those days before the Flood, eating and drinking, men marrying and women being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and they took no note until the Flood came and swept them all away, so the presence of the Son of man will be.

I don't know about it being the end or not as like you said we aren't supposed to know when the lord will return but I do believe we are EXTREMELY close to the end.

In Daniel 12:4 it says, But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.

Take a look at a timeline. 3,500 BC. was the invention of the wheel. Then it was 4,200 years until the next major invention of Gunpowder in 700 AD. You could say But there were tons of inventions in that time period, Sure, small ones. Can you think of anything huge? I can't. Anyway The all of the sudden you have advanced weapons such as canons, steam engines in 1700, locomotives, airplanes, tanks, jets, pre-internet, internet, and so on so forth.

Studies shows that by 2020 overall knowledge of mankind will double every 12-13 hours!

Just something to keep in your mind.

"The sooner the better", I say!
Amen, Come Lord Jesus.

Something is going on for sure. Not godliness. Pure insanity it seems. Intentional destruction.

Well, no. God ordains the sun and the moon to move around, thinking that they somehow predict the return of Christ is ridiculous. It's just coincidence, plain and simple. The jews are God's special people (even though they're all destined for (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) by the very nature of them rejecting Christ; they've been living in rebellion for the last 2000ish years), and anything involve the return of Christ would likely center around the jews.

Matthew 24:36 say that not even the angels, or even Jesus himself knows when he'll return, only the Father does. In Acts 1:7 Jesus said it's not for us to know when he'll return, instead we're to be his witnesses, to the ends of the earth, In other words, don't worry about when he's coming back, just worry about winning souls for Christ.

rainin again today,sooo.

The birth pains of the end times are growing stronger. One world government is the goal of the enemy. A lot of pieces are being put in place.

if noah was real there is no way he and his family were the only humans on the earth. to much genetic and dna diversity. there is no evidence of a flood other than what people pull out of their but. kinda like man made global warming.

we have been in the end times ever since constantine got a bunch of people together to vote on whether or not jesus was divine. john of patmos was likely hallucinating from rye ergot or syphilis when he wrote revelation.

quit wringing your hands and reading fairy tales. there are real problems to take a stand on.

...the whole world lieth in wickedness.

1 John 5:19

OK name ONE THING more important than the BIBLE and the LORD THY GOD
JUST ONE

fairy tales is fairy tales wet dog.

Danny, I hope you don't kind out too late what is real...

Archeologists have been trying for centuries to find evidence that noahs ark and the great flood were real. So far nothing. Here is a real simple question, Where did the water come from and where did it go? If all the ice melts and 100% of water vaper in our atmosphere became water the seas would rise about 100 feet. Maybe. Most calculations are much less. So where did the water come from and where did it go?

God does miracles. I've heard it said that if all the ice were to melt, and all the land both above and below the oceans were to go flat (think of it as shoveling every mountain into every ditch, to level the whole earth) that there'd be enough water to cover the earth. But to me, arguing about that sort of thing is dumb, and besides the point. Christ is the end goal, and that should be our concern, winning souls for Christ, not trying to figure out when he'll come back. If Jesus and the angels don't know, why on earth would you think a human could? Quit worry about the end times, whatever is going to happen has already been decided. Worry about talking to people about Christ and winning souls for Christ.

(And you'll never convert someone over an internet forum )

Loosegoose the post is a question are we reliving the days of noah. I say no. There was no noah or a great flood or an ark. Its ridiculous. Just like the fairy tales you folks are so fond of laughing at because they are promoted by somebody elses religion. They are all attempts by ancient people to explain stuff they didn't understand and for tribal leaders to better control their underlings.
