Well if there was a God then he/she is not doing a very good job!

There have always been wars, famines, earthquakes, and tsunamis.

The end of the world isn't going to be any time soon.

In the late 1990s I knew someone who was totally convinced that 'the end days' were at hand.

[wolf63]

also China keeps threatening what he will do in the future.

I didn't know that China was a male.

Some time in the future the planet and all its inhabitants will cease to exist..  There is nothing we can to stop that happening, but we may be able to delay it happening.

People have been expecting the end times for many many years. Early followers of Christ were essentially Jews who decided that the Messiah had arrived and some of them lived ascetic lives, even abstaining from sex because it was no longer necessary to procreate. The disappointment left a void which was filled by clever types who could read and think and so analysed and edited and sought for hidden messages in the old books of the Jews and the more recent ones written by people who hadn't met Jesus but collected stories from those who had.

If we are close to the end times it will be because of the works of humans, who have multiplied to an extent which is affecting the whole planet. Doesn't need a god to explain it.

Locust loves spreading gloom ... and more especially doom.

After the rapture will the elect live on in a heaven on earth while the rest are condemned to an eternity of fire and brimstone?

I think we should be told.

A total solar eclipse on Monday April 8th means that the end of the world is at hand!

[Peter Pedant]

Armageddon out of here!😂

Funny how these oh so perfect holy writings didn't even forecast the simple motor car.

[Peter Pedant]

to Sandy Roe

His Holiness does not subscribe to Rapture. - the ecstasy that some of the to-be-saved feel before hand. But not all the saved -  only some

those damned deffo do NOT get rapture

Nineteenth century doctrine of evangelist churches - and for 1800 y before that - nichty rapture

er that is about it

helicopters, marmalade sandwiches and nuclear reactors

Muslims DO believe this - all science is predicted in the Quran. - some are metaphorical references

[sandyRoe]

I'm sure most here will have seen images of the statue of St Theresa of Avila.

Rapture can take different forms.

^if you believe that you'll believe anything.

[naomi24]

^that to Peter Pedant.

Bear in mind you're talking to a Jehovah's Witness.  Your standard Christian ramblings will have no effect.

[Peter Pedant]

If you believe that you believe anything - well I believe things I read on AB - ter daah ! - no no miss dont...

I'm sure most here will have seen images of the statue of St Theresa of Avila. - yes she had visions.

and levitation witnessed by god  knows whom

BUT - her writings 'put me down Lord' show that she wasnt praying for it, AND ecstasy 1520-1580 was looked on at the time as getting  IN THE WAY of communication with the  risen christ - that is her view was that it interfered with her (prayer) life.

You cant just look at a baroque painting ( image) and put 2ist century prejudices on it !

Bernini's 'Ecstasy of St. Teresa' is an early example of Baroque sculpture. It was created by Italian artist Gian Lorenzo Bernini in 1647-1652 and is located in the Cornaro Chapel in Rome.
