To be honest, I didn't know the Bible spoke of two tribulations... A little one, the a "Great" one... I thought the whole period was called a great tribulation, and it is called many other things in the Bible besides that. All I know is that the first 3.5 years has been fulfilled by Caligula...

Yes, the birth pains are what we are in now... That's exactly what I said... the birth pains ARE the tribulation period... immediately after, well, you already said it from Matt 24. But I don't think God's people will be spared any tribulation period, whatever you want to call it. We will...

Yes, I think it is possible that there will be one single ruler that is completely under the control of satan and spearheads antichrist on a global scale... I do not dismiss that possibility at all. But I see where Caligula and Nero met that criteria well. (Frankly, I can't imagine a person...

Yes, I know these scriptures... but I don't see them as some precursor to the Tribulation... The Tribulation itself is the birth pains. Once a woman gives birth, the pain is over and the joy has arrived... John 16:21 As I said before, we are already experiencing "Nation will rising against...

LOL! :lol:

Thanks for the clarification! My son most likely has all that, but I'm just a user... And No, Born_Again. Not THAT kinda user! LOL

My entire property is a bio-lab! The pond, the trees, the critters... the ants! Why are you asking this question?

Never heard of Tribulation birth pains... Can you point me to some scripture about that?

I enjoy a good discussion and love to learn from others as well. ^_^ Back to the topic at hand, I find it significant that every generation since Nero has declared that they are living in the tribulation... and I think they were all correct. There has been no time of peace, but of turmoil...

As you are as well. :)

THE antichrist is incorrect. Antichrist is used in the Bible without the article "the". Antichrist is a state of being, not a person. "Antichrist" is never used as a proper pronoun in the Bible. The abomination of desolation occurred when the Holy of Holies was desecrated by statues of the...

The 7 year Tribulation is began along time ago, and we are currently in it today... I believe it began when Caligula placed his statue in the Holy of Holies, and the 1st 42 months ended when he was assassinated. We are currently experiencing the poisoning of our water, earthquakes, famines...

Good point!

I know quite a bit about Native American tribal society... as you just pointed out, everyone is a "have" in their society because they work for the mutual benefit of everyone, and people get a share according to the importance of the work they do... That's far different from the cogs I was...

I don't know how a nation can be a Christian anyway... Only individual people can accept Christ as Lord and Savior... nations cannot. And if we want God to heal our nation, it is up to the Christians in it. No amount of laws or creeds can improve on the moral and social plight of a country...

Good point! People who won't go to church because of the hypocrites are hypocrites themselves, because I bet they work with hypocrites, go to school with them, eat at restaurants with them, hang out at the beach with them, etc. And what about this one: "Churches just want my money!" Well, so...

Oh wow, so apparently, you are an anarchist who believes all people in authority and all people who own land are "haves"... I see where you're coming from now. Native Americans were non-capitalists, and none were property owners. Yes, they may have answered to a shaman or chief, but not for...

Indeed! We are already paying the price... and we will all suffer the consequences as long as we do nothing to hold the murderers and torturers accountable. "a people deserves that government it tolerates" -Sophie Scholl

It's different in the sense that in the past few millennia, people could actually survive and take care of their families without working for one of the "haves"... Artisans, craftsmen, farmers, all could and did work autonomously... There were entire non-capitalist and barter societies even...

Of course Jesus dealt with Lot and Moses. He was there before the world began. He is the Word of God, and the Word was given to Lot and Moses. Moses even wrote it all down for us.
