2018 prophecy?

[agedman]

According to some of the Nostradamus folks, there is to be a 27 year war.

Such a war leads up to a temporary peace and then another world conflict centered specifically on the Middle East.

Now, I don’t put stock in the sayings of Nostradamus though admittedly some statements are shown to be accurate. I used him merely as an opening to the thrust of the thread.

The question of this thread is focused upon a statement by The Lord:

26“And just as it happened in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man: 27they were eating, they were drinking, they were marrying, they were being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.​

The “they” are unbelievers.

So, what do you expect of this year?

There are some of the Nostradamus that consider WWIII started in the latter part of 1990’s. That growing tensions and saber rattling is increasing until it eventually all boils over igniting the whole kitchen and then house.

News accounts are trying to alarm folks that both Trump and Putin are engaged in aggressive armament programs, others also point to a soon highly targeted total annihilation of much of the Western Hemisphere leaving only countries with socialist/communist alignment who are also protected from destruction fall out by mountains and prevailing winds. (I suppose this might also include California )


As believers, is the Ark a type of The Christ?

As the church is “the body of Christ,” (1 Corinthians 12) are we to focus upon the building of the Ark and ignore the storm clouds gathering?

Or, should we also be diligently teaching and presenting to those who are perishing, while also bringing all the family into the Ark?

How accurate to this statement by Christ in a yet future event?

Given that preterist hold the prophecy of Christ already fulfilled, I somewhat doubt they will have much to contribute on this thread, but will anyway.


Noah preached a coming destruction using elements that had never previously occurred. How do you express rain to folks who have no experience with rain?

How do you approach those in this common time that can actually envision such world destruction, yet are just as much shackled in avoidance?

I have read that Noah means "When I die, the deluge."

I have read that Noah means "When I die, the deluge."

That's actually Methuselah, not Noah.

 

[Martin Marprelate]

Mark 13:32-37. "But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. Take heed, watch and pray; for you do not know when the time is. It is like a man going to a far country, who left his house and gave authority to his servants, and to each his work, and commanded the doorkeeper to watch.
Watch therefore, for you do not know when the master of the house is coming-- in the evening, at midnight, at the crowing of the rooster, or in the morning-- lest, coming suddenly, he find you sleeping.
And what I say to you, I say to all. Watch!"

If no one knows, certainly Nostradamus didn't know. Our Lord may return tonight or in 50,000 years. No one knows. We are to be about our Master's business (Matthew 28:19-20), being concerned only for this: if He returns tonight, will we be found doing His will?

That's actually Methuselah, not Noah.

Yes I realise that meant Methuselah, I don't know why I typed Noah.

You know what they say, "Even the blind dog finds the water bowl once in a while..."

Prophecy is always 100% accurate, or it is guesswork.


God bless.
