Sah, my guy.

Holá

So there's this lady that used to run the VBS I would help in. Her daughter is guaranteed to die of cancer without a miracle. So some prayers might be nice.

Prayers sent.

Thx.

Prayers!

I'm praying! Also, I want to know something, and I would like to see if someone agrees. So all this stuff with corona, and the vaccines. People around me, namely my father, believes the vaccine ia the beginning of the mark of the beast. And mask wearing is just the beginning of the end. Like no mask, no entry into stores, and etc. And I've started wondering about it. Could this really be the time for the second coming of Christ? Like the similarities are there. And believe me. I'm scared, and excited at the same time. I would just like to know opinions on this. Like if it's starting to happen, I want to make sure everyone I love around me is ready. Including myself. I'm worried. And scared. Any insight from anyone would be helpful.

I've heard ppl talk about the vaccine being the beginning of the mark of the beast, and I'm waiting for more info on it to come out. I don't want the vaccine regardless, but especially if it is something that's gonna be like, forced on people. I feel like there are some things that have to happen first before Christ can return, but that doesn't mean it's far off. That said, people have said "it's the end of the world; Jesus is comin' back" for like a really long time. I mean, eventually they will be right, but it's hard to tell, and I say just pray and study and watch the signs closely. You have to have godly wisdom to be able to discern these sort of things, and even then, nobody knows when He's coming back technically, anyway.

You're very right. No one knows when Jesus is coming back. Only God knows. The thing I'm scared about is that I feel like the world is going to start to become apocalyptic. (My friends and I have a running joke, about current times being like movies 2 and 3 of the maze runner…) I know Christians are going to start having a rough time, I feel it, and the thing with China is only the beginning. I know I'm 17, and I know I'm acting very paranoid, but that's just a part of me I've learned to deal with. I'm praying, and asking God to give me wisdom, but I still feel unworthy, if you get my flow. Also recently, a possible vaccine came out that's like a patch with microscopic needles in it, that's like a bandaid. I about had a panic attack because I was like this is it. This is the beginning of the end of the world… (I know this all sounds like a scared 10 year old, but that's how I currently feel…)

Nah, you're not being ridiculous or a spaz. All of this stuff is a big deal. I guess the reason it doesn't scare me too much is because I've heard about it all my life and for the past 18+ years have built up some kind of mental resistance to it. Not to mention, I'm a bit of a conspiracy theorist, which means I've heard about a bajillion "OH MY GOODNESS THIS IS IT THIS IS THE ENDDDD" spiels since I was like ten years old and I guess I'm sort of used to it by now. When it happens, it happens. I'm not worried cuz I'm on the winning side. It might get rough but I know where I stand.
But uh, yeah. The world might get apocalyptic. Walking Dead minus the zombies.

I've heard it all my life too, and I know I'm on the winning side, but it hurts me to know that all the people who aren't will die, and sufferfor eternity. And I feel like the Christians who get away, should like have a mewt up spot in the middle of the country or something. Like in The Dakotas, or like Colorado, or Nebraska. But that's all the conspiracy theories that have been put in my head… And I'm ready for Jesus to come back. No more pain, heartache, and suffering? And you get to see all your family that you've ever lost again? That's something. But the real thing that I'm so excited about, is that I'll get to see Jesus face to face. And praise him, and ask him all the questions that I've ever had…

Absolutely. Seeing Him is kinda what it's all about. The only thing that keeps me sane, actually.

Yeah. I just hope he comes back before everything gets unbearable…

Are we in the end times? Summed, answer is, yes and no. We are and have been in the end times for quite some time now. However, and this is gonna sound like the Croods, but we're not at the end of the end.
When we have world peace, as in absolute peace. That's actually when we're getting close to Jesus coming back. In Revelations it says that the antichrist will sign a document bringing peace to the world. For a short amount of time.
Then of course all hell's gonna break loose and we're going to be thoroughly tested to see who is really faithful and who isn't. Then Jesus is going to come and bring the full force of Heaven with him to bring us home and to banish all sin once and for all.

So are we in the end times? Yes, however we're not at the end of the end. That is still a ways off.
In the mean time, it is our jobs as Christians to spread the word to as many people as we can reach.

Yes. Agreed 100000%

I don't want the vaccine regardless

Why not?

To be honest, I don't think coronavirus is even 5% as bad as anyone is saying. I work in a public setting. My mother works in a public setting. I have known a few people to get it— people with bad health conditions— and I've known exactly zero to die or come remotely close to dying. I don't know anybody who knows anybody who has actually died, and I think the numbers are majorly fudged to scare people. Plus, it's been kinda proven that masks are near useless. The only thing they might do is keep actual like, saliva droplets from escaping, but germs, bacteria, etc. aren't filtered by most masks. Wearing a mask has actually done me way more harm than good and has made breathing, even without it, harder for me. A lot harder. I'm actually a bit worried about what my stupid mask has done to my health. All of that to say— I haven't been able to trust much of anything since this COVID virus became a thing. How on earth could I dare trust the vaccine, especially if it's something they try to make people take? If it's optional, then that's all fine and dandy because I'll just kindly decline.

hello apparently this exists and since I am pretty Christian if I could join the discussion that would be cool.

The end times stuff freaks me out, tbh. Do you guys believe in the rapture? I was always taught everyone who knows Jesus will be raptured before all the tribulation stuff begins, so if that's true we don't even have to worry about the mark of the beast since that comes after. But I barely know anything about those prophecies.

You know what I just realized? We're all gunna see each other in heaven. Like. Idk that's neat.
