I wish people would stop calling it Revelations.

No question. Every thing has an end.

Why? If people can conclusively show and prove how those events described correlate manifestly with the current events. Why would you have a problem with it.
Some people can predict the future by study the past and the seeming cyclical nature of the human being. Multiply that by circumstances and you have prophecy or as business people say forecasting.
Many human beings have predicted outcomes that have manifested after they are long gone. Just because it is in a book that you don't subscribe to doesn't make it less valid. -

To answer your question, in my opinion, the end in nowhere near eminent, although it's bound to happen I'm sure...But, I don't see it happening based on those prophecies. Humans will end most likely because of something astronomical, aliens, or we blow ourselves to bits by nuclear warfare.
People have been claiming it's the end of the world since humans began to communicate I'm sure. Natural disasters, greed, ? , etc have always been here and always will be here. I used to have this website that listed all the failed doomsdays throughout history...it was a ridiculous amount. lol
I found a website that gives a pretty long list of failed prophecies...

Yes. Not as quickly as you think but yes. Does it have to do with what the bible or other books are saying No.
Right now our biggest threat is climate change. The Earth naturally has it's cycles of heating to extremes then freezing over. Right now for the last 100 years though we have thrown this cycle of balance so it could have the possibility to wipe out humans. Do I think it will, no because we are adapters and survivors and will find a way, alot of us will die, but not all. Same with Nuclear War or anything else, alot will die but not all. Everything does have an end at some point though so to say the word is not coming to an end is foolish. The world as you and I know it will come to an end during our lifetime though, believe that. -
The Bible has said many things that will happen. A possible "one world currency" that right now I hear in Europe is being spoken about. Someone I know that lives out that way was telling me they're pretty much getting ready to drop a one world currency. Now I'm not into politics, economics and all but I believe it. Not only because of that but because I've heard about it on tv. CNN spoke about it. We've had past presidents who spoke on it and even spoke on a new world order, which the Bible also speaks about.
So I don't see how the Bible, which has proof of these things happening, is not a thing to believe.
That list of "failed prophecies" is funny. It's the people who expect and interpret and we aren't supposed to do that. The Bible says that NO ONE KNOWS THE DAY OR HOUR that this will all happen. No angels, no people. So they will constantly fail and when Dec 21, 2012 comes, that will also fail.
So these people can keep 'guessing' and coming with their 'thoughts, opinions' and just keep being wrong. It has nothing to do with figuring out numbers, stars etc. ? only knows and it's gonna be down to who's around. Will we be? Who knows. -

Because other religious books, tribes of people, and psychics have predicted the same things. It just like other texts and people, It isn't rocket science to figure out at some point and time the world will have one ruling system, possibly NATO, and a one world currency. Also around the time some of this scripture was being written the persians were a main force not long ago and they basically implemented a one world currency because people did not know of other worlds beyond the seas horizon. And I do agree that no one will ever know the time. All these events about ? ending, it's all hype to sell products. Look how much money the 2012 phenomena and the 2000 ? has made people. -
Edgar Cayce and Nostradamus have had accurate (and inaccurate) prophecies...so have others. Many times people make the current environment fit the prophecies forcefully because many of them are up to interpretation...and it's not that the prophecies have come true.

The white man's world is definitely coming to an end and will be over before the end of this century.

This post makes absolutely no sense. This has nothing to do with heaven but instead science, forecasting, over consumption, capitalism, feminism, warfare, karma and global shifts. -

Look TX, the topic of this debate is THE WORLD COMING TO AN END, so I commented on that. That's my point. And no it won't be A DAY of celebration, but a continual process of improvement because there is much in house work for us to do. -

The white man's "world", their system, their ideologies, their reign...is coming to an end, is what I think he was getting at. -
I'm currently reading a book on the French revolution, in the perspective of Josephine Bonaparte (Napoleon's wife)
And all that stuff you state was happening back then as well.
werd ? was probably already happenin back in yeshuaz time with them romans, jews, greeks, barbarians, egyptians etc...

All things come to an end. Even the earth.
Still, the "end" would require a large amount of time from begining to end. So we'll definately see it coming. -
@geechee slim

Oh really? Scientists say that it will be a billion more years before the sun burns out and the earth dies. Do you agree with that or not? If you do? Waiting on it is pointless because there is much left to accomplish.

We are already seeing the end of the "world." That "world" is what this thread is about sir. -
The end of the world as predicted by revelations has been occurring for centuries.
People have always been promiscuous and devious. Look at Hamlet, MacBeth etc.
Disease has always plagued the earth, even more so before i.e. the plague, Polio, small pox.
Weather has always been unpredictable
People have always been dishonest.
Earthquakes have always happened
wars always existed.
None of this is new or signifies the earth ending any time soon.
Ice, none of what you posted has anything to do with what I said.
1. The end of the world is coming soon (that is what this thread is about and that is my position based on multiple factors.)
2. The end of the Earth is not coming soon (although this is my position, THAT IS NOT WHAT THIS THREAD IS ABOUT. WORLD AND EARTH ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS AND THAT IS WHAT I WAS BREAKING DOWN TO GEECHEE)
