what the bible says of the people in "the end times"

For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, self‐assuming, haughty, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, disloyal,3having no natural affection, not open to any agreement, slanderers, without self‐control, fierce, without love of goodness,4betrayers, headstrong, puffed up [with pride], lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God,5having a form of godly devotion but proving false to its power; and from these turn away



Do you agree?

 

Not about the god part,but those characteristics are and have probably always been evident in humans. We're a nasty lot,sometimes.

 

When You Reach Pure Awareness You Will Have No Problems...

 

yes, humans have been bad throughout time, no doubt. With the condition of the world, I think it is more widespread no than ever..

 

Christians have always been saying this.

They have also always believed that the end of the world is imminent.

It's getting old.

 

Don't some say it's not the end of the world - but the end of an age/empire (Intially talking about the Roman Empire).

Empires come and go Humans move through different ages/awareness' etc.
I'm shocked

 

It is the bible that is saying it

 

Care to quote?

 

I second that.

The bible isnt saying anything in particular. The bible is to be interpreted.

 

Its not just christians who say the end of the world is imminent

Yes, humanity can be a horrible lot. The worst thing one can do, however, is advocate violence against sin in the name of religion or God. In essence, it defeats the entire purpose of Jesus' message. However, religion is not the answer to being good. There are Christian people who behave badly just as there are non-Christian people who behave badly. Just as there are Christian people who behave good and non-Christian people who are good.

 

Am curious as to who all else thinks the end of the world is imminent.

 

apparently all the major religions and most minor or native/aboriginal religions.

The BAGAVAD GITA’s author, Lord Krishna, died on 2/18/3102 which is close to the year our Fifth Sun Age commenced. The Hindus believe that with Krishna’s death the world began a new earthly cycle, “the Kali Yuga,” which they think of as “the Degenerate Age.” The Hindu mystic, scholar and religious leader, Sri Kalki Bhagavan, has told his million-plus followers that he is the Kalki Messiah, the 10th and final avatar of Vishna and that our “Degenerate Age” will end on 2012. He ties his calculations to the next Transit of Venus, which occurs on 2012.

Quetzalcoatl’s followers coincidentally associated Quetzalcoatl with Venus, viewing him as its earthly avatar.

Michael Drosnin—author of the bestselling THE BIBLE CODE—says that “equidistant letter sequences in [the Hebrew version of] Genesis” reveal that the earth will be destroyed in 2012, conceivably by comets. His predictions are based on the calculations of three eminent Israeli mathematicians.

Rabbi Vitzhak Kaduri, a renown Israeli Kabbalistic elder and scholar, claims that the Hebrew messiah has incarnated himself in Israel and will emerge shortly. If so, the Hebrew Apocalypse could well occur on 2012 . . . according to Rabbi Kaduri.

Iran’s firebrand political leader, President Ahmadinejad, says the arrival of the Shiite’s Mahdi-Messiah is also imminent. He could well arrive in time to disrupt the 2012 presidential elections.

The belief in a returning messiah is not only central to the Hindu, Christian, Muslim and Hebrew religions apocalypse, many Maya have held that Quetzalcoatl will return for their 2012 apocalypse. His ability to counter that catastrophe however is problematic.

People have probably always been like this. What records we have from history shows that people during and since those times have always been this way. So, to say that these things are harbingers of the end of the world would mean that it should come with each generation. Which it never has, and may come some day, but will probably be for reasons other than some supernatural entity having a tantrum.

 

Some people are saying this, but I don't think it's Christians, or the majority anyway.

 

Open to interpretation, I guess.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/End_time

An apocalypse (Ancient Greek: ἀποκάλυψις apocálypsis, from ἀπό and καλύπτω meaning 'un-covering'), translated literally from Greek refers to a revelation of something hidden, although this sense did not enter English until the 14th century In religious contexts it is usually a revelation of hidden meaning - hidden from human knowledge in an era dominated by falsehood and misconception. In the Revelation of John (Greek Ἀποκάλυψις Ἰωάννου, Apocalypsis Ioannou), the last book of the New Testament, the revelation which John receives is that of the ultimate victory of good over evil and the end of the present age, and that is the primary meaning of the term, one that dates to 1175. Today, it is commonly used in reference to any prophetic revelation or so-called End Time scenario
