About the end of the world, people speak for many hundreds of years. This topic will always be an exciting and acute for humanity, because we are talking about the cessation of the existence of everything alive on earth, and the very earth itself, among other things. This thought makes the tremble human hearts, because even if everything is bad around and hard on the soul, a person still wants to live !!! Life is the greatest value for a person.
Today, when the media makes it possible to be aware of all events, when the information immediately spreads around the world, the conversations about the end of the world are especially common, and words are not always competent people immediately become public. So no longer the first year there is noise around 2012. Predictions related to this year, today are different. But practically nothing is heard that the Bible says about the end of the world - the book of books, because the idea of \u200b\u200bthe "end of the world" is taken from it. To explore this question, let's start not from the end, but from the very beginning.
_____________________________________________________
Why did God do the universe and our planet? To put a person there. The Bible claims that God created people for eternal life, but they sin and death and death entered the world. But God did not reject humanity, he opened his idea, showed that he was in the eyes of God's kind, and that evil, he discovered that after death, every person will appear on the court, which will receive rejection for their affairs. All of this knew people who lived in antiquity. Such statements we see recorded in different books of the Old Testament.
People who do not know God are difficult to understand his design. Did God create everything to destroy? People associate themselves and their lives with the planet Earth, and only. But God's plan relative to humanity is grandiose. God indicates that the Earth, despite all its magnificence, in no comparison with his kingdom, new heaven and the new land, which he prepared for all people who applied to him. This world is in evil, because the prince of this world is reigning in him - Satan. Sin, injustice, grief and much more evil destroy the earth, deprive a person of completeness of happiness. The Bible claims that here on Earth we, as wanderers and aliens, that here we elect our future that the soul of every person is eager for heavenly life, to which God calls us! And, in fact, the "end of the world" comes for each person with the end of his life on Earth.
Nevertheless, the Bible claims that the time will come when everything will end the Earth and will begin a new life. Let's look at another topic.
The books of the New Testament says more about the end of the world, because Christ himself came to Earth, as written, by the end of the centuries:
"He once, by the end of the centuries, appeared to destroy sin sacrifice," (Heb. 9:26).
Christ opened his disciples that humanity expects in the future, and in this regard, they gave them some instructions.
Jesus said:
"The sky and the earth will let them (will pass), but my words will not let me" (Matt. 24:35). "CE, I am with you all the days before the condation of the century" (Matt. 28:20). From these words it is clear that the Lord spoke about the end of the existence of the Earth and the sky. But Jesus did not open humanity the day in which the end of the world comes, but gave us the signs of this end, warning in advance that this day would come unexpectedly.
"No one knows about the bottom of the same thing, nor the angels are heaven, but only my father is one" (Matt. 24:36). "So awake, because you do not know how your Lord will come. But that you know that if I knew the owner of the house, at what kind of guard would come to the thief, it would be awake, and would not give your house at home. Therefore, and you will be prepared, because you don't think for an hour, the Son of Human will take (MF. 24: 43-44).
"When he sat on Mount Eleon, then the disciples were launched alone and asked: tell us when it would be? And what is the sign of your coming and the death of the century? " (Matt. 24: 3). So, let's see what Jesus answered his students about signs of the death of the century:
The first thing Jesus said is about the appearance of falsehritists: "Jesus told them in response: Beware so that someone did not take you, for many will come under my name, and they will say:" I am Christ ", and many are prestigistic" (Matt. 24: 4-5). "Then, if someone tells you: here, here Christ, or there, do not believe. For falsehritists and false prophets rise, and they will give great signs and miracles to make sure, if possible, and elected. So I've told you. So, if you tell you: "Here, he is in the desert," do not go out; 'Here, he is in the hidden rooms, "do not believe; For how lightning comes from the East and it can be visible even to the West, so there will be the coming of the Son of Human "(MF. 24: 23-27).
Christ said about wars and military rumors: "Also hear about wars and military rumors. Look, do not be horribly, because it should be, but this is not the end: for the people will rise to the people, and the kingdom to the kingdom "(MF. 24: 6-7).
Hunger and earthquake:
"And there will be glads, marines and earthquakes in places; Yet it is the beginning of the disease (the beginning of the end of the Earth) " (MF. 24: 7B-8).
Goning Christians: "Then they will betray you on the torment and kill you; And you are hated by all nations for my name "(Matt. 24: 9).
The appearance of false prophets, cooling faith in people:
"... And then many will be seduced, and each other will betray, and each other will be raised; And many false prophets will rise, and make many "(MF. 24: 10-11).
Multiplication of lawlessness and cooling of love: "And, due to the multiplication of lawlessness, in many the love will cool; Pushed to the end will be saved " (Matt. 24: 12-13).
The benefit of the news will be preached throughout the land: "And this will be preached by this gospel of the kingdom throughout the universe, in testimony to all peoples; And then the end will come "(Matt. 24:14).
Great sorrow and cataclysms, the sign of the Son of Human in the sky: In the revelation of John the Theologian, great griefs are described, which will comprehend the land and living on it. This is: 7 seals - (Rev. 5-6 ch.); 7 pipes - (Rev. 8-9 ch.) ; 7 cups - (Rev. 15-16 ch.) . "And suddenly, after the sorrow of the days of those, the sun will fade, and the moon will not give his light, and the stars will fall from the sky, and the power of Heaven will die; Then the sign of the Son of Human in Heaven will appear; And then all the tribes of the earth will be rally and they will see the Son of Human, coming on the clouds of heaven with power and Great Great ... "(MF. 24: 29-31).
Also, the apostles gave signs of an approaching end of the world.
Peter warns us about the appearance before the end of the light of "arrogant cries":
"First of all, know that in recent days there are arrogant swearings entering their own lusts and speakers: where is the promise of the coming of him? For since they began to die fathers, from the beginning of creation, everything remains the same. Thinking so do not know that at the beginning of God's skies and the earth are composed of water and water: therefore, the then the world died, it was sweeping with water. And the current heavens and land, the contents of the same word, are saved by fire on the day of the court and the death of wicked people "(2 Pet. 3: 3-7).
Who are they "Naglie cries" , According to the apostle Peter? These are people who do not believe in the end of the world. Why don't they believe in it? Because they do not believe in the beginning: they do not believe that God gave all the beginning that the Lord God created the Universe, the Earth and everything that it fills it. Therefore, they do not believe that God appointed an end to everything. You see, what an interesting pattern exists in human reasoning: the disbelief is in the beginning generates disbelief and at the end.
Pavel Timofey writes about the last days: "Know that in the last days the times of grave will come. For people will be proud, sober, proud, arrogant, eloquent, parents are unacceptable, unaccificed, wicked, unfriendly, irreconcilable, slanderers, impotence, cruel, not loving good, traitors, brazenings, pompous, more sustained, rather than Bogolyviv, having a kind of piety, Forces, his secrets. Such remove "(2 Tim. 3: 1-5).
Paul warns Timothy - a young minister - about the progressive degradation of morality and morality in society in front of the end of the world. This degradation is now visible as never before. It is worth only to see that today we are shown on TV, and compare it with what you showed 20 years ago.
In the message of Pavel, Thessalonians say that in those days will be proclaimed about the "peace and security":
"On the times and the deadlines there is no need to write to you, brethren, for you yourself religiously know that the day of the Lord will come like a tatt (thief) at night. For, when they say: "peace and security", then suddenly will comprehend their luggage, like the flour of childbirth comprehends having in wise, and will not be avoided "(1 Fes. 5: 1-3).
The theologians suggest that after time wars and terror suddenly, the world will be restored on Earth, which will be installed by an antichrist that returned at the head of the world government. And just at that moment when the world is proclaimed around the world, then the great grief will begin to begin, because God will judge living on Earth. At this time, people will find their deaths themselves, but she, as stated in Scripture, will run away from them. (Rev. 9: 6).
Of course, the question begins: can I somehow avoid the end of the world? The end of the world is inevitable. The end of the world is impossible to prevent. Lord
"... I appointed a day in which the universe will be righteous" (Acts 17:31). And the word of God is unshakable. What promised, he will perform:
"The sky and the earth will give, but my words will not let (do not change) "(Matt. 24:35). So, the end of the world is approaching. And when it comes to an hour,
"... the day of the Lord, how to get (thief) At night, and then heaven will deal with the noise, the elements, it is broken, destroyed, the earth and all things are burned on it " (2 Pet. 3:10).
"Well, how can I prepare for the end of the world?" - you ask? All these signs of the approaching end should become a reason for people to draw attention to their lives and reconcile with God.
Not so long ago, a public opinion survey was conducted. Different people asked: "What will you do if the end of the world begins?" Most answered that they would drink, walk, having fun. In general, enjoy the last days of life. And no one said that he wonders about his life, she will be shown in sins, will try to change and live in recent days in recent days. In Scripture it is said that
"... anyone who calls the name of God, will be saved" (Rome 10:13). Sometimes a person says: "I am so bad, nothing can be changed, so it will be ..." And behind this should not be either faith, no prayer, and the person dies for the future. And if he says: "I'm worthless. Lord, save me! You can save me! " God will definitely come to this man towards.
If you are already reconciled with God, you have nothing to be afraid. Scripture says that before the occurrence of heavy times, God promises to pick up his church from the ground: "... So awake for all time and pray, but make sure to avoid all future disasters and appear before the Son of Man" (Lux 21:36). "To serve God to live and true and expect the son of his son, whom he raised from the dead, Jesus, delivering us from the coming wrath" (1Phes. 1: 9,10). "... The Lord himself when the archangel and the pipe of God, when the Archangel and the Pipe of God, comes from the sky, and the dead will be resurrected in Christ before; Then we, survivors, together with them we will be admired on the clouds in the statement of the Lord in the air, and so we will always with the Lord. So, comfort each other with these words "(1 Фес. 4: 16-18). "... Because God has defined us not to anger, but to getting salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ" (1 fes. 5: 9).
The courts of great grief are already close. God informs us about these vessels before they begin. What for? So that we can avoid them. God wants no one who experienced the courts of great grief and eternal hell. He wants everyone to contact Jesus Christ and gained the joy of salvation in heaven, but provides this choice to each person.
The answer for: Elena Premydraya 2 (# 40) in the book of Daniel Ch. 9 Article.26.27 It is said that "the city and the sanctuary will be destroyed by the people of the leader, which will come, and the end of it will be, as from the flood, and until the end of the war there will be devastation" War is a spiritual between the Lord and Dilol. In the message to Ephesians, GL.6, Art.11-17 it is said that our brands are not against blood and flesh, but against the authorities, against the authorities, against the methods of the darkness of the century, against the spirits of the malfunction. ", Against the devil and his spirits . And the sword is spiritual on the devil - this is the word of God's Holy Scripture, the word of the Bible. This spiritual war is said in the apocalypse and the book of Daniel. The secrets of the apocalypse are open. Day and hour of the coming of the Lord to Earth know no one will know, but signs that you can decide on that the end of this world is close, you can read in the Bible. The Bible is the book of the life of people on earth. Apocalypse is one of the prophetic books of the Bible. This book was sealed until recently (apoc. Gl.5.1; Isaiah Gl.29, 11), that is, before the beginning of the court of the Lord over the peoples of the Babylon, which states Ch.17 of the Apocalypse. The mysterious state Babylon, named from Daniel "the fourth kingdom" (Daniel Gl.7, Article.7,17,23 "The fourth kingdom will be on Earth ") in apoc. Gl.17 is represented by Sitting at the Ba Bever Break, on the waters of many. The beast has seven goals, seven kings. Many people are people and peoples, tribes and languages. This secret Babylon was the blood of the saints. Babylon mysteriously the Lord called the atheistic state - the USSR, which was created from people of different nationalities. Seven kings led this state, who led the struggle with the Church of the Lord, and many believers were destroyed in this state. This state should have been formed on Earth at the end of some thousand years from the Nativity of Christ, as described in Apocalypse Ch.20, Art. 7-8. Tychycha's years, which is stated in this chapter, denotes some millennium from R. Kh., In this case, it is 2000 years from R. H., which ended in March 2001 on the lunar calendar of the biblical study. At the end of the Millennium, Babylon had to fall, and, with his fall, he had to be divided into three parts (apoc. Gl.17; Ch.16, Article 19), which happened on Earth: USSR, having existed for 70 years ( And this is also recorded in the Bible: Jeremiah Gl.25, Art.11-15; Ier.Gl.29.8-14), for, in our past, our future is hidden (the book of Ecclesiasta GL.1, Article 9-10 ), The USSR fell, and in the fall in its own, it was divided into three parts, into three states: Russia, Ukraine and Belarus, and the cities of pagan fell (separated by the Union republics). Daniel in his book Ch.2.40-44, supplements that these, separated states will be part of the strong, part of the fragile (economic situation of the divided states), they are mixed with each other through the seed of human (people of different nationalities), but in one state No longer merge. And in the days of these divided states, the Lord will come to Earth in the second coming, which he himself speaks through the prophet Daniel Gl.2, Article 44. Another signs of the death of this world, in which you can decide that the Lord is already close - this is the prophecy of the Savior himself, about which he speaks to his students: MF.Gl.24; MK.GL.13; LK.GL.21. The Lord warns ":" When you see Jerusalem, surrounded by troops, know that it is approaching it. These are days of ignition. Yes, everything is written, "says the Lord in the Gospel of the LC. Ch.21.20. These events were to happen on Earth at the end of 2000 from R. X, in half the week, which the prophet Daniel Ch. 9, 27 (LK.21.20: Matt.24.15). Sedmina, which Daniel says, is the seven years that began since March 2001. Half Sedmins falls for September 2004 on the lunar calendar. After September 2004, On Earth, the events were required to indicate the Lord himself at the LC. Ch.20.21; APOK. GL.20.7-8: Hell opened and all the demonic spirits came to Earth (apoc.L.Gl.16.14: MF .24,24), in order to collect many people on a break with the Lord (Battle of the SSERDCH person); and the cities of Saints and the city of Beloved were surrounded: Lux. 21.20, Jerusalem. In the Apocalypse, the Lord speaks of the court over Babylon ( Apoc. Gl.17, Ch.18, Ch.13, Ch.14.6-8), above the peoples of the former USSR, which was created on the land of ancient Russia, the capital of Russia is Kiev. It is this city that the Lord hiddenly called Jerusalem, Which in half weeks, after September 2004, was "surrounded by the troops" and all the peoples of the Earth saw these events. The world is waiting for the top of the Antichrist on Earth, which the flesh will sit in a rebuilt temple and will "rehabilitate" on Earth. This "prophecy" does not coincide with the prophecies of the Bible. The devil cannot materialize, he can only enjoy into the souls and the bodies of people who do not fulfill the laws of the Lord, says the Lord himself in the Gospel of the MF. Chronicles, Art.43-45. In the apocalypse. And the book of Daniel does not have the words "Antichrist", there are words: "Beast with family heads and ten horns" and "Other Beast", which people in the world are called Antichrist, and which is already reigning on Earth. In her 1 message, John, speaking about the last time, warned that when many antichritists appear on Earth (about the last time they were written in 2 messages to Timothy Gl. 3), then this is the last time. In 2 of his message, John explains that anyone who does not fulfill the laws of the Lord is the seducer and Antichrist. Based on these, already committed on Earth, biblical prophecies, you can add the words of the Lord, which he tells us: LK.Gl.21.31 "When you see everything that come true, know that the kingdom of God is close." MF.Gl.24.33 and "When you see all this, know what is close, with doors." At one time, the Lord spoke Daniel Gl.12.4: "You, Daniel, Sokre's words, and seal the book by this until recently." In our, lately, the Lord says John: "Do not seal the words of the Prophecy of this book; for the time is close." (Apok. Ch.22.10).
- Introduction
The theme of the upcoming end of the world, when creation will appear in the entire imperfection, is part of the part of many works of biblical writing. The ideas about the end of the world developed and were significantly complemented over the centuries; Below we give the most significant texts speakers in chronological order.
The Bible says that the world in which we live, has the beginning, since he was created by God. This world is not eternal, but exists in time; The situation is its inalienable property. For biblical authors, the existence of the beginning of the world naturally implies the existence of the end, as time is fundamentally different than eternity, the way of being, and cannot be limitless. This idea of \u200b\u200bthe developing world, which has the beginning and end, is fundamentally important for the biblical understanding of the story as a directional process, in which the idea of \u200b\u200bthe foremost about the world and man unfolds.
At the beginning of the history of the biblical revelation, the elected people had an idea of \u200b\u200ba certain mysterious day of the upcoming victory of God, which will complete the history of mankind. The basis for this was the numerous peripetics of the history of Israel, in which the disposal of the people from disasters and the disaster was due to the protection of God. These large-scale events are described in the Books of Exodus and Jesus Navina, judges and kingdoms. Here the people of God face external enemies, which are often significantly superior to him in a military, and in culturally. However, hope for God leads to the fact that it interferes with the events through elected husbands - judges, prophets and kings, and provides victory over the enemies and maintaining Israel from destroying. On this historical basis, an idea of \u200b\u200bthe upcoming day of the Lord was formed when Israel's final victory will occur over all his enemies (which were simultaneously considered both the enemies of God).
- Day of visits in the early prophets
In subsequent centuries, this simplified representation has undergone significant changes. Mainly this happened thanks to the ministry of biblical prophets, for whom the day of the Lord was one of the main topics of their preaching.
Briefly the main provisions of the prophetic teaching about the end of peace and the Lord's Day are as follows. The prophets speak about the end of the world as a day of visiting, when God himself will be the mysterious way in the world and will visit their people. With this visit to God will be associated with the Ambassador of the Gentiles, the deliverance of Israel is also connected - but also a court over all peoples, including Israel. This visit to God, the prophets depicted as a universal catastrophe in which all the unworthy of the greatness of the Creator is destroyed. Therefore, they often called the day of the Lord Day of Mraka and the day of anger, the day of the court. At the same time, any evil will be expelled from the tweak world, even death itself will be defeated.
The prophets associated the coming day of the visit with the arrival of Christ; For them, the phenomenon of Christ and the visit of God largely coincided. So the prophets were incent about the meaning that Christ the Savior would be not just a great man, but the embodied son of God.
Usually, the words of the prophets about the end of the world combine three key aspects. The prophets talk about the events of the modern history, in which they see the prototype of the coming end of the world. Relying on these sobrases, the prophets argue the arrival of Christ, who should become a turning point of the history of the world. What opens about the end of times, the prophets are often connected with the news about the arrival of Christ.
The historical sequence of the upcoming events was not as clear for the Prophets as their spiritual meaning; Therefore, most of the prophets joined the arrival of Christ and the completion of history. It's not a mistake; On the contrary, in the New Testament, the arrival of Christ is the beginning of the court over the world and the victory of God over evil.
These are the common features of the prophetic teaching about the end of the world, which they often called the "that day", but in the book of each prophet it is allocated and specific features for it.
- AMOS
The Prophet Amos is clearly clearly talking about the day of the Lord as a day of the visit: "I'll go among you," says the God of the Prophet's mouth. AMOS appeals to those who hoped that the day of the Lord would be for Israel a kind of historical "Happy endom": "Mount of the Lord wishing the Day ... He is darkness, not the light." This day will be a court over all people, not excluding Israel, to whom God, by virtue of election, imposes exceptional moral requirements. In addition, through Amos, the Lord says that the fallen tabernacle of David's house will be restored in the "that day" - this is a prophecy of Christ, who will be a descendant of David.
- Asia
The younger contemporary of the Prophet Amosa, Asia also talks about the court of God, who in the end of times expects all the affairs of people. But Asia announces that the end of the world will be marked by the victory of God over all evil and sin. He will enthusiasm the whole of the Creator's mercy, and even the most important, "last" enemy - death - will be defeated.
- Michey
Fast a little later, Amosa and Osi, the Prophet Micah sees the coming day of the visit as the phenomenon of God himself: God "comes" at the height of the Earth, and before the greatness of His glory Mount Mountains. Thus, at the end of the time, God, who cannot accommodate the whole creature, will appear in completeness. On the execution of this prophecy, the words of the Gospels from John "God did not see no one ever; The only beggar son, which is in the subsoil, he revealed "(John 1:18).
- Isaia Jerusalemsky
The last prophet of the 8th century to Px, Isaiah Jerusalem, also depicts the day of the Lord as the day of the court and the victory of God. But besides this, Isaiah speaks about him as a day of salvation, which God will accomplish through Christ - born from the descendant of David. "The baby was born to us - Son Dan us," says Isaiah, and God himself intervenes in the course of history. With the arrival of Christ, the whole creature will change irreversibly, evil and violence will be defeated, and they will not be on the transfigured land. The striking image of a wolf living together with a lamb is one of the most famous biblical descriptions of the upcoming world renewal. Isaiah also says that on the day of the Lord is not only the elected people, but also the pagans will turn to God and gain salvation. But getting rid of the glory of Christ, the world of God, open for all people in the kingdom of him, is at the same time the death for any sin.
- AMOS
- Day of the Lord of the prophets of the foremposed era and captivity
- Sophia: Pipe and Flood Creek Day
In the prophecy of Sophia, who lived at the end of the 7th century. Before Px, new aspects of the upcoming end of the world are detected. He brings the prophet as a feast, on which the victim of the Lord will be sworn. Choomed Chooms of God will gather on this feast; For sinners it will be a day of blinding, since the sinned person loses the ability to see the world in the true light. Sophia calls the end of the world in the afternoon of anger and brave, and says that this day is close. In this case, we are talking, however, not so much about the historical perspective, how much about the inevitability of the jet day.
- Ezekiel
In the first half of the 6th century. Before PC, the prophet Ezekiel, for whom the destruction of Jerusalem became the prototype of the end of the world, he exit that the day of the Lord would be the day of updating the world. Ezekiel speaks of a mysterious shepherd that will come in those days. He "will rise in the break of the wall" to protect against the disaster of his sheep. None of people can do this, each of them is responsible for their own and only their affairs. Only Christ, the Shepherd of Israel, will defend people. At the end of his book, the Prophet Ezekiel describes the end of the world as the battle of God against the power of evil. The defeat of Gogh, the Northern Tsar, symbolizing the power of evil, was the characteristic way of biblical apocalyptics. The main thing in the prophecy about the universal victory of God over evil and death is the news that at the end of the times God will make the New Testament with people, and the Spirit of God will regit the stone hearts of people into flocks, will inhale a new life in them.
- Isaia Babylonian (second): Cook the way to the Lord in the desert
The author of the second half of the book of Isaiah, traditionally referred to as Isaiah Babylonian or a second, begins his words from the prophecy of deliverance, which God himself will perform. Like other prophets, a collaborate combines a vision of three different events. Israel's return from the Babylonian captivity and the restoration of Jerusalem are the prototype of the coming coming of the Messiah and the end of the world, when the glory of God will be revealed to all creation. The words of collaboration about the eyes of the crying five centuries will later apply to John the Baptist.
- Zechariah: Salvation for all
Junior contemporary Isaiah Babylonovsky, Prophet Zechariah, also considers captive and returning from it as a prototype of a coming court. At the end of the first half of the book of Zecharia, he suggests that in recent days, all nations will turn to God to Israel, and God will save their resorts to him.
- Sophia: Pipe and Flood Creek Day
- Day of the Lord of the Prophets of the Epoch of the Second Temple
In the era of the second temple of the prophecy of the Day of the Lord become increasingly specific; The trial of the peoples and the day of anger of the Lord retreats to the background. "That day" for the prophets of this period is mainly associated with the arrival of Christ and his saving ministry.
- Malachiya: God will send Elijah
In the middle of 5 c. The Prophet Malachius says that before the onset of the Lord's Day, God will send to the people of the Prophet Ilia, who will revive the onset of recent times. This prophecy was fulfilled in the ministry of John the Baptist, whom the Angel of the Lord, turning to his father of Zecharia, calls the "Prophet in the Spirit and Silence" (Luke 1:17).
- Joil: Day of the outpouring of the Spirit of God
As if continuing the prophecy of Ezekiel about the New Testament, at the turn of 4-5 centuries to Px, the Prophet Joil says that in the last days God is the Spirit of His Spirit for all flesh, and many people will be able to hear the Word of God as directly as his chosen men hear The Lord is the prophets. These days will be accompanied by the signs of an universal scale, the Sun will fade and the moon will turn to the blood. And anyone who calls the name of the Lord - will be saved, says Joil. Thus, the elected, which will be saved on the day of the Lord are those who will turn to God to Israel and call the name of the Lord.
- Zechariah (SECRIYARIA): Come on him, whom pierced
A special place in the biblical prophecies about the end of the world is occupied by the words of the unknown name named contemporary Joil, the author of the second half of the book of Zechariah. Suddy's day of trial appears as a calculation between people and God, when people give God fee for his benefits. Thirty Silvernikov Assure People in Pay Lord - this terrible detail emphasizes that recent times begin in the history of the world with the arrival of Christ.
But Self says about the day of the court as a day of salvation, when God will defend people from death. In these last time, people are led by the pierced by them of Christ, and the source of tears will open in their hearts for the wasy of sin and sewage. Crying in Jerusalem reminds Russian ancient battle for Megiddo (Armageddone). After these words of Germany, this battle (historically relating, probably by 622 g, the time of Tsar Iosia) becomes one of the most famous symbols of the end of the world. - Daniel
In 4 c. Before RH, the author of the book Daniel announces that the time of the coming parish of Christ and the Judgment Day is determined. Mysterious and not deciphered by people the deadlines that Daniel says are already measured. The main event of the Day of the Lord Daniel calls the death of Christ; But after that, until the end of the world, there will be some time, which will be the era of the "covenant for many".
- Malachiya: God will send Elijah
- Gospel
With the arrival of the Lord Jesus Christ, the prophecies of the Old Testament about the last days begin to fulfill. Christ says to the disciples that John the Baptist is the very prophet of the last days, which Malachius announced. The court over the world, whom the prophets were waiting with trepidation and reluctance, begins in the days of Christ.
The words of the Lord Jesus Christ about the end of the world, which he told the disciples on the mountain of Eleon, was called the "Apocalypse of weather forecasters", because they are almost equally fixed and the Gospels from Matthew and from Luke. Matthew leads them somewhat in more detail.
Here, the Lord says that the end of the world will be marked by the coming of Christ in glory; Like zipper from the edge of the sky and to the edge, it will be revealed to all people. But before that time, humanity expects numerous disasters and a female against the loyal lady. The most important features of the last days, which Christ calls the disciples - the fact that his gospel will be preached in all nations, so all people will hear about him and will have the opportunity to call on the name of the Lord. Falchryrs and false prophets will try to captivate people behind them; Only loyalty and hope for God will help the elected to undergo these terrible times.
Christ says to the disciples that, although the time of the end of the world is determined, no one except the heavenly Father knows about the day and hour. The court will be a surprise to which it is impossible to prepare in advance. As a thief sneaks in the night, the last day of the world will come close to people. Therefore, Christ commands students to awake and always be ready for the end of the end.
Evangelist John complements the apocalypse of weather forecasters near essential aspects. He cites the words of Christ that the court has already begun and the Word of Christ until the last day will judge people. In addition, Christ speaks in the Gospel of John that the end of the world will be associated with the resurrection of the dead; For some it will be a door to life, and for others - to the peril. The criteria for this court Christ explains to the disciples in a conversation about the last court, which the evangelist Matthew. People of all nations will be sued by how they did in relation to others. "What did you do to people," says Christ, "they did." Mercy to the neighbor and made people are good are the main criterion that determines the eternal fate of people.
But Christ announces students and the fact that for believers he has already opened the way for the resurrection and life. The flesh and blood of Christ become eternal life for them, the desert of the Lord, the predetermined Prophet Ezekiel.
The most important for the Gospel with a revelation about the life of Christians on the eve of the end, the final words of Christ in the Gospel of Matthew: "Here, I am with you all the days before the late century."
- Act
The evangelist of Luka reports at the beginning of the book Acts of the Apostles leads words spoken by the Lord Jesus Christ's students at the time of his ascension. To the question of the disciples, the prophecies are not fulfilled on the end of times, the Lord says that the disciples are not given to know the times and timelines. Instead, they, according to the prophecy of Joil, will be given to the Holy Spirit, whose fertile action will put in the disciples the beginning of the life of the future century. Thus, it is re-approved by open in the Gospel of John the opportunity for students of Christ to move from death to life now. In the second chapter of acts, on the Day of Pentecost, the apostle Peter argues that the miracle performed on the apostles is the fulfillment of the Prophecy of Joil. Thus, according to the ancient Christian tradition, his prophecy about the next morning the Sun belongs to the darkness that covered Calvary at the time of the godfather of Christ.
- Messages
Pupils of Christ in their messages repeatedly refer to the theme of the world. Messages confirm the evangelical evidence that the Lord is both the future for believers, and the present. In the middle of the first Christians, the opinion was widespread that the end of the world would come shortly after the resurrection of Christ. However, over time, this point of view ceases to be generally accepted.
Mainly the apostles speak of the end of the world as the coming of Christ in glory; In the afternoon, the Lord in the Apostolic environment is more often called the first day of the week, when Christians celebrate the resurrection and the Lord dwells with them in the sacrament of the Eucharist. The coming of Christ will entail the resurrection of the dead and new life in the renovated - delighted evil and the transfigured world.
In the epistles, the Apostles consider the time after the resurrection of Christ as "last times," because with the arrival of Christ, all the terms were fulfilled and the "fullness of times" came. This time, the duration of which is unknown, should be used to ensure that, following the example of Christ, to actively carry God's love into the world and do good. Waiting for the day of the Lord also requires Christians of wakefulness - inner readiness to appear in front of the Savior. Thus, the kingdom of heaven is carried out in the church, which is still to come in completeness. The life of the Christian proceeds, so in the kingdom of heaven even before his final victory.
Continuing said by Christ about signs of approaching the end of the world, the Apostle Paul complements these by several important things. First, he suggests that in recent times, the enemy of God will appear in the world in the world, an antichrist who will try to captivate people behind themselves. Secondly, the apostle Paul believes that before the end of the world, the last of the peoples will turn to Christ the chosen people, thereby capturing the complete number of those who believed. The apostle also announces that on the day the Lord will not only resurrect the dead, but also the survivors, "changed," the gentlemen will meet.
Apostle Peter, confirming the words of the Apostle Paul, speaks of the end of the world as a universal catastrophe. The fact that the deadlines of the end of the end are postponed, Peter considers the manifestation of the grace and long-suffering of God, who gives people the opportunity to apply and believe.
- Apocalypse: New Sky and New Earth
Specially fate of the world and the church is devoted to the final book of the Bible, the revelation of John the Theologian or Apocalypse. Revelation summarizes everything that has been said about this in the biblical tradition. The Apostle John resorts to images borrowed from the Old Testament Prophecies, thereby emphasizing the continuity of the Old Testament and New Testament Revelation. The book of Revelation ends with a prophecy that the victory of God over a sin grows up a heavy struggle. In the updated creation ("New Sky and New Earth") God will stay among people in the eternal Heavenly Jerusalem. The book of Revelation with the words "ridges, Lord Jesus", forever, for students of Christ, the expression of a hot desire to bring this coming victory to the expression of a hot desire.
What is the end of the world?
About the approaching end of the light of the Bible
1. What is the end of the world?
A. Old Testament about the end of the world:
The end of the world (peace) in the Old Testament is associated with Day Yakhwe (Ioyl 2) - the day, in which the Creator will appear to judge the whole world and give the righteous and wicked their merit. This day is also described in: Isaiah 2: 2-5; Joil 3: 1; Amos 9; Zechariah 14.
Also, the end of the world is associated with God's Court (Ecclesiast 11: 9; 12:14) and life after death: Daniel 12: 2-3 "And many of the land sleeping in the praha will run apart, one for the life of the eternal, others for eternal rules and the Ambassador. And reasonable will shine as shining on solid, and who fed many to the truth - like stars, forever, "forever." Isaiah 66: 22-24 "For, as a new sky and a new land, which I am creating, will always be before the face, says the Lord, so there will be your seed and your name. Then from month to month and from Saturday on Saturday will come every flesh before my face for worship, the Lord says. And they will go out and see the corpses of people who retreated from me: for the worm will not die, and the fire will not fade them; And they will be illosse for any flesh. "
B. New Testament about the end of the world:
In the New Testament, the idea of \u200b\u200bthe end of the world is associated with
- Great Court (Matthew 7:22, Revelation 6:17, Jews 9:27),
— Great sorrow (Matthew 24:22),
— The second coming of Christ (Acts 1: 10-11, Matthew 24: 3, 37, 39; Jacob 5: 7-8) and
— resurrection of the dead (John 6:39, John 6: 44,54; John 12:48).
2. The end of what light is it?
It will be the end of our world in which we live. Not all that exists, but only our material world: our space and time.
Who is the God of the century? - Satan ( 2 Corinthians 4: 3-4 "If your gospel is closed, it is closed for dying, for unbelievers who have the god of the age of this mind"). - Here is this century (peace) end and come!
The former era (century, peace) will pass. And the time of another century comes: in Ephesians 1: 19B-21, Matthew 12:32, Luka 18:30 It is said about the "current century" and the "future century". The new era, which will begin, will be the era of the kingdom of God throughout the universe.
In the revelation of John the Bogosla read: "And I saw a new sky and a new land, because the old sky and the former land passed, and the sea is no longer" (Revelation 21: 1)
3. Why should the end of the world come?
First, the end of the world should come because everything that has the beginning is necessarily an end. Secondly, the end of the world is stated in the Word of God - the Bible (in the Old and New Testaments). And, thirdly, the Lord Jesus himself testified about the approach of the end of the world. And we will talk about his testimony in detail, when we turn to the signs of the end of the world. The main thing is that God himself warned us about the approach of the end of the world, and his word can be trusted, because it is true and invariably:
Matthew 24:35 "The sky and the earth will give, but my words will not let me."
Matthew 28:20 "CE, I am with you all the days before the protrusion of the century."
4. When will the end of the world?
Matthew 24:36 « No one knows about the bottom of the same hournor the angels are heaven, but only my father is one. " Matthew 24:34 "True I tell you: do not give thislike all this will be. "
Matthew 24: 42-44 "So awake, because do not know what time your Lord will come. But that you know that if I knew the owner of the house, at what kind of guard would come to the thief, it would be awake, and would not give your house at home. Therefore, you will be prepared, for what time you do not think, the Son of Human will come. "
Jesus did not opened humanity the day in which the end of the world comes, but he gave us the signs of this end, warning in advance that this day would come unexpectedly: like snow on his head.
5. Who is touched by the end of the world?
Parable of Jesus about the end of the world:
Matthew 13: 24-30 "He offered another parable by him, saying: the kingdom of heaven is like a person who has seen a good seed on the field of his own; When people slept, the enemy came, and sowed between wheat the Plelevians and left; When the greens came up and the fruit appeared, then came the pickles. Having come, the slaves of the house order said to him: Mr.! Will the seed seeds you on your field? Where does the Plelevians come from? He told them: the enemy of man did it. And the slaves told him: Want if we will go, choose them? But he said: No, - In order for, choosing the Pleallies, you did not pull the wheat with them, leave to grow together, both to the harvest; And during the harvest, I will say to the renges: collect the spomelates before and tie them in shear to burn them, and take my wheat in my greeting. "
Explanation of Proverbs Jesus: Matthew 13: 36-43 "Then Jesus, letting the people, entered the house. And, having started him, the disciples said to him: I will express our parable about the flyers on the field. He also told them in response: Seying good seed there is a Son of Human; The field is the world; Good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom, and the pleules - the sons of the oval; the enemy who sewed them, there is a devil; The harvest is the end of the century, and the gilts are the essence of the angels. Therefore, how they are harvested by the fleels and fire, so it will be at the end of the century of this: send the son of his own angels of his own, and they will collect him from the kingdom all the temptations and make sure, and plunge them into the fire oven; There will be crying and crushing teeth; Then the righteous will reach as the sun, in the kingdom of their father. Who has ears hear, yes hears! "
If you are at least the smallest familiar with the sacred scripture and other religious books, then you know that the Christian religion foreshadows the end of the world. The biblical Scripture is clearly stated on the creation of the world by God and his impermanence.
With a thorough study of the biblical chapters, it becomes clear that our planet should survive the short-term reign of the Antichrist, after which the second coming of the Savior should happen.
The battle between good and evil will take place, which will end the victory of light forces over dark, and it is this accomplishment that commemorates the end of the world. Humanity will be prepared by an eternal paradise life, each person will be subject to the terrible court and respond to his own pre-sorts.
Bible predictions suggest that before the onset of the day, the second temple of Christ, built on the Jerusalem Earth, should end. By the way, the construction of the temple is already at the design stage. Apparently, in December of this year, the end of the world will still take place.
But it is worth saying that no sacred writing does not mention the exact date of the Second Coming. Believers explain it in their own way. They say that for Christianity in the first place there was always a spiritual rescue of man, so the whole point is not in the very vessel's day, but in the possibility of repentance and repentance, which every mortal can find.
The Bible does not say about the exact date of the end of the world, and on the basis of this preachers, clergymen and all other treats the sacred writing in their favor. The Old Testament and other Scriptures, which were written to our era, suggest that only the birth of the Son of God marks the beginning of the reference, after which humanity will see ten omen foreshadowing the beginning of the Apocalypse.
Gradually, prophecies come into force. Let's try to restore the gospel in memory of John, saying that the exact time of the end of the world is known only to God, and the court has already come.
It will be accomplished by everyone for everyone, does not matter, living or dead, will not bring a divine sentence.
The apocalypse will precede the resurrection of the departed who will be responsible for each other for their own actions. Someone a terrible court will open the doors to the paradise kingdom, and someone will do any permanent death.
Biblical predictions say that the end of the world does not mean the end in the direct value of this word. It should not be thought that all the universe will die. The Bible points to the beginning for mankind of a new era, people will create good things and live in God's laws. Such an explanation of the apocalypse can give the Gospel from Matthew.
What will the world become after the end of the world?
The Bible itself is responsible for this question, its latest chapters dedicated to the apocalypse. Read the revelation of John the Theologian, which makes it clear that the Earth and Heaven will become new, God will go down to the ground to be among the mortals.
Unfortunately, the biblical prophecies are silent about the catastrophe preceding the new era, so they are very difficult to lift with other predictions, which in all the trifles describe the collapse of the destruction of the Earth and indicate the exact time - 12/21/12.
Biblical end of the world
It is worth saying that no global religion speaks of the beginning of the end, we are talking about the acquisition of a new life ... "otherworldly", therefore the biblical end of the world should be understood as the end of the world.
The Bible considers the apocalypse by one of the most terrible events: the vessel will come, the righteous will rise to the sky, and the sinners will go to hellish contractions. Each person will experience the feeling of guilt even for the most insignificant sin, and in the world there is not a single person who has ever sinned.
The parable of Jesus about the beginning of the end: Matthew 13: 24-30
"He offered another parable by him, saying: the kingdom of heaven is like a person who has seen a good seed on the field of his own; When people slept, the enemy came, and sowed between wheat the Plelevians and left; When the greens came up and the fruit appeared, then came the pickles. Having come, the slaves of the house order said to him: Mr.! Will the seed seeds you on your field? Where does the Plelevians come from? He told them: the enemy of man did it.
And the slaves told him: Want if we will go, choose them? But he said: No, - In order for, choosing the Pleallies, you did not pull the wheat with them, leave to grow together, both to the harvest; And during the harvest, I will say to the renges: collect the spomelates before and tie them in shear to burn them, and take my wheat in my greeting. "
Explanation of Proverbs by Christ: Matthew 13: 36-43
"Then Jesus, letting the people, entered the house. And, having started him, the disciples said to him: I will express our parable about the flyers on the field.
He also told them in response: Seying good seed there is a Son of Human; The field is the world; Good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom, and the pleules - the sons of the oval; the enemy who sewed them, there is a devil; The harvest is the end of the century, and the gilts are the essence of the angels.
Therefore, how they are harvested by the fleels and fire, so it will be at the end of the century of this: send the son of his own angels of his own, and they will collect him from the kingdom all the temptations and make sure, and plunge them into the fire oven; There will be crying and crushing teeth; Then the righteous will reach as the sun, in the kingdom of their father. Who has ears hear, yes hears! "
Another parable of Jesus about the beginning of the end: Matthew 13: 47-50
"It's also like the kingdom of the Heavenly Neva, thrown into the sea and the capturing fish of all kinds, which, when filled out, pulled off ashore, and, sowing, good gathered in the vessels, and thin threw out. So it will be at the end of the century: angels will be reached, and they are separated from the righteous environment, and plunge them into the oven oven: there will be crying and crushing teeth. "
Alas, the end of the light on biblical books does not have exact time, and we can only use the basic information and signs of the apocalypse.
Let's see what features are:
- celebrated existence will be sweetering spiritual, and many people will come church;
- in the world will rule anger and chaos;
- the priests will be prosecuted, and the churches are collapped;
- will begin persecution on believers;
- along the world, false prophets will begin to appear.
Now let's stand out for the fact that we have at the moment: there are false prophets everywhere, who referred themselves with the sons of God, the people laugh at Christianity, and the worst thing - he hates himself and incite the war.
It is possible that death is already close, and 2012 is the beginning of the end of the world in the Bible, the Day.
Now we offer to take a look at the prophecies of John the Theologian and understand whether it predicted the beginning of the end in 2012.
In the New Testament it is said that the bliss received visions. He saw the land shrouded in a flame. Perhaps the flame is a symbol of a nuclear explosion, a huge territory in one moment. We ourselves see to what extent the situation in the world is administered, especially in the countries of the East. We cannot say with one hundred percent confidence that next year there will be no third world war.
The Lord God is all the vocabulary, and as it was later it turned out, many miracles were astronomical phenomena. We can say that the end of the world will occur in December, just when we expect to see the parade of the planets? If everything is in this way, then we need to prepare for the terrible court today.
The end of the world on biblical legends is described by the words of St. Paul: Not all people will die, but everything will change. What did Paul mean: a quantum jump, transition to another world, a change in consciousness?
Now mankind is on the eve of the opening of a new dimension, with the appearance in which it will be able to achieve unprecedented decorated spiritual heights. Evolutionary jump is similar to the end of the world.
It is understood as the end of the light that existed before the evolutionary jump. While millions of inhabitants of our planet remain unprepared for similar events and changes in the world. And apparently, now it's time to prepare yourself for new living conditions related to changing consciousness.
You can also find out interesting facts:
On the occurrence of the end of the world in the coming years, you can hear from modern predictors and scientists, but world religions are not narrated exactly when this happens, but only noted that at that time the planet land will be substantially changed.
Many world religions include a number of exercises that the end of the world is inevitable. As for the scenario, it is similar everywhere, but there are nuances in detail.
