Is the end near ?
    #28523009 - 10/30/23 04:37 AM (2 months, 28 days ago)

I’m not going to talk about who I follow but I believe in god with all my heart but anyway you know looking at the stuff in the Bible that shows will happen before Christ comes back I know without a shadow of a doubt it’s getting close honestly if you step back just a second and look at the big picture our president can’t even make a coherent statement or anything of that matter and look how desensitized we’ve become as a whole to let Biden just I mean it’s sad man everyone just laughs and cuts jokes but god damn we’re screwed man the cost of living will never be the same nothings going back to the way it was i was rly thinking the kids coming up would see it but I think I’ll see the end n fuck it I’m ready if it is lol maybe I’ll be on mushrooms that would be pretty cool

"Is the end near ?"

The end of what is a good question. What of us ends and does not, if anything?

The end is not near

I'm not quite sure it ever really even began

At some point the universe will end.
Politically it doesn’t look good right now.
But I don’t think this is the end of the world.
I think that Israel is a huge boiling point.
But there is not an apocalypse on the verge of happening right now.(knock on wood.)🤣

I thought it would be the end of what they knew.  It would only be the end of what they previously understood.  The END OF THE WORLD in that way is easy.  Thats all that needed to happen.  They have since, taken the opportunity to understand, and completely changed everything about being sovereign.

It does feel like we are entering the end of "historical time". I think though that we just live in one worldline, and there are many recreations of this thing called "Reality", through other alternate histories.

Like, in this world, we only have one access to a small sliver of what is called "life", but beyond that there is a larger Self where we are eternal and infinite, timeless and spaceless. Everything and (nothing).

As BrendanFlock put it:

The decriminalization movement of entheogens, in particular, does feel like we are approaching a mass spiritual awakening. How should we handle this situation?

The more I dive into the quantum computers, AI driven simulations, the more I feel it is not a coincidence that "I AM" alive and conscious in this particular time.

The death of the body comes for all. Spirit is infinite.

Do your observations on these "end times" serve you? Empower you?

What is it that you fear?

It’s perfectly reasonable to fear the dissolution of everything.

At the end, though.
We all have a choice.
We will look back on our lives.
Then have to decide.
Are you filled with regret?
Or contentment?

You’ll be filled with both.
But I bet that you’ll be feeling one more than the other…

One of the things said in Christianity is that Jesus would return (end of the world) 2000 years after his first appearance.  I once saw a video of someone explaining how the precise 2000 year time frame was something that can be found in the Bible with some level of study and knowledge.

Now here's something to think about.

Is the 2000 years from his birth, or from his death and resurrection and departure (as stated in the Bible)?

The appearance of the CHRIST figure happened to coincide nicely with 6/6/06.  2006 years from 0.  Its been 17 years.  The Heaven is destroyed.  He is still considered to be mentally ill.  People are not willing to come forward, or approach him to have an open dialog about why they see him, or hear him.  They won't talk to him personally.  The people involved found him, and have latched onto him.  They won't let go.  This is all going on about 100ft off the ground in a previously unknown dimension of reality.  People hate him for spilling the beans about the mushroom to the Churches.  People from the Churches freaked out.  He's being terrorized and persecuted.  You all should set up a CHRIST FUND!

:peace: They say it, every year -- most especially around the Jewish High Holy Days, around Autumn.

Now that those are over for the year, about 10 or 12 youtube influencers have gone radio silent.

I have never heard of such a thing as this happening in modern times: Just saying, in Biblical times, false prophecy used to be a capital offense.

It does seem to be one of those sins that people can't quit doing, once they get caught up in it.

One of these ministries just keeps moving the date out, one month or a couple days, and has been at it for decades.

The pastor looks similar to me (if I am wearing that same haircut and beard), is presumably my same age, makes pop culture references from my generation and relates to many of the same things I do. No personality conflicts, afaic.

:waitthatsbad: Says 'progressive revelation' allows him to guess wrong and keep trying.

I heard that we all actually died on the original dates specified by Mayan calendar. This is all just a simulation. Or a collective dream that we’re all continuing to have together.
Maybe.:lol:
I’m kidding. But really, it does not matter at all.
Maybe we all explode. Maybe we don’t. Doesn’t change the fact that I needed to take a shower today.

People are listening to these scam artists, without any intentions of self harm, per se. But, they are experiencing a version of suicide happiness.

You don't actually need to do anything, if the end is near.

The person who made the video also has repeatedly said that no one know the day or hour of Jesus return (a point made in the Bible).  His point was that through Bible prophecies (with a good understanding of the Old Testament) that the 2000 years time frame is reveled.  This however does not give us a specific date and time as so many people have declared before.  So if the Bible says that no one knows the day or hour of his return, and then someone pronounces that Jesus will return on January the 10th at 3pm on the dot in the year 2025, then that person is a numbnuts and should be avoided.

But the fact that there have been (and probably will continue to be) numbnut's that claim Jesus's return on such and such a day, does not make the Bible a load of crap.

The point I was making is that if the 2000 years is from his departure, then that would put it somewhere around 2030 - 2040, hence I said, something to think about.

Hello FishOilTheKid.

If you are referring to the guy in white with the purple attachments, then I'd have to disagree with you and also say that he is no closer to God then a homeless person is.

Haha.  Hi.  I posted the pic because of his expression!  I don't think Pope Francis is THE RETURN OF CHRIST.  Homeless people, Popes, etc.  All are God.  They just needed the ecstatic gnosis/union with God/illumination.  The experience of Christ!

Lol.  It would take a seamless transition into incorporating what was 'missing' on their part.  They instead trampled the CHRIST figure, and became the enemy.  THE TERRORIST.  Since they said that it was just schizophrenia, it all wasn't very well thought out.  Like the allegory of the cave or something.  Things got carried away while talking to shadows on the wall!  Instead of appreciating being in the presence of the HOLY ONE...  They reacted violently.  They say they're taking down the NEW WORLD ORDER.  Nobody comes forward.

No, I mean to say that an all-knowing God has not given any incorrect answers to any of his prophets.

Quote:

Deuteronomy 18 said:
...the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die. And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken? When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.





I am not calling myself churchy by any means, but would superstitiously be against doing some things. For instance, saying that false instructions are from God.

Yes. They just put off the end of the world, until next year, having made several failed predictions, last year.

How does an all-knowing God tell them that?

Even the heathen have some concept of hubris, of putting on airs above one's station. Not that there is any guarantee of them finding justice in this life, but I am personally superstitious, sometimes, that it's bad luck.

They've never rationalized the God concept/experience.  This:



...replaced the true intentions of Jesus.  The exoteric narrative of Jesus/God is inherited from the Roman Catholic Church.  They are/were left with faith not direct experience.  Idol worship, really.  A placebo ritual rather than the Entheogen.  One God-man instead of a quest to become God-realized.  Most Christians, for the last 2000 years, have never experienced Holy Communion/illumination.  A tragedy!

They were intentionally put in the dark.  You know this!:sherlock:

Their thinking lacks inspiration.:mushroom2: 

Bad luck, maybe. 

Where they are with the story, intentionally confused in the beginning, sets them up to collide with absolute reality on the matter.  The APOCALYPSE.  As this is happening, I feel it's reflected onto/into world events and social issues.  The forces of darkness are working to, again, hookwink the masses!  Pfft...  They're justified in thinking that THE END is imminent, and that Jesus will return to rapture them up to Heaven.  It's just not what they thought!

:lol:

I have become good at dream recall after some decades of trial and error.

Where others see machine elves, I see ordinary human workers resembling ourselves but sometimes of non-descript race. 

Constructs of places are mostly made of familiar materials.

Everything on the other side of that veil can be processed through the ordinary five senses and described in plain English, once we have sorted through so much mental baggage cluttering our perception.

Do you think our situation, which causes you to feel the end is near, is worse than ever before in history? Worse than the holocaust? The plague? We move in never ending cycles of positive and negative I think. And, by "believing" whatever that is to anyone or what your conception of God is, you know that we never end. An era might, but consciousness doesn't. In Christianity, you are then in Heaven, or with God forever. Buddhism is similar in that you return to the one soul, or God, that we are all a part of. Which is where we really are all the time, but suffering the illusion of being separate. Belief puts you in harmony, or resonance with God. Realize you are there already. Your faith in Godshould, IMHO, make you realize that ultimately everything will be ok. There is pain at times, there is fear, but we are made of Love and this world is temporary. God/Love is eternal. So what do we do about it? How do we handle it? I think we continue to do just as we always should - express and accept love from all those around you, try to do the right things, take care of the body we have and make sure to have JOY. I think that is what God wants. If we are put here for a reason, I can't imagine it is for anything but trying to do our best to treat others as we want to be treated. You can't always succeed. That's not the point. Its your faith and will to try. I see the universe/God as very harsh at times, but ultimately fair and loving at the core.

I agree. People living in the past thought it was the end of their world, or had some nihilistic death drive to escape the hell in which they were living.

You know where I never heard any defeatism or morbidity? In nice, rich, clean, and safe places. (Probably, where the de-populationists enjoy life off camera.)

While Dominionism and prosperity preaching might be considered heretical, in light of the great 'falling away' predicted by the Bible, it was also written not to be caught sleeping on the job.
