2012 and the End of the World

December 21, 2012 is being billed as the End of the World by those who claim to know the Mayan calendar.  Doomsday 2012 it may or may not be.  But of some things we are absolutely certain.  Fortune tellers come and they go, but the Bible stands the test of time.  Let us see what the Bible has to say about the end of the world.  We must be very careful and technical we talk about the “End of the Wrold”.

1.  No one knows, nor can know the exact day or hour of the end of the world.  Our Lord Jesus told us plainly in his Word, “Of that day and hour, no man knoweth.”  He said it would resemble a “Thief coming in the night”.  All speculation, no matter how many speculate, and no matter how big their following is, IS VAIN.  Worthless.  Foolish.

2.  According to Scripture, there are at least One thousand and seven years let of human history on this globe.  How do I know?  Because first, comes the Tribulation period, which lasts 7 years.  During which time, most of the prophecies of the Book of Revelation will occur.  Then, comes the millennial reign of Christ, which lasts 1,000 years.  At the end of which, comes the day of judgment of God.

3.  To be technically correct, there is coming a horrendous time of judgment on the earth, as prophesied in the book of revelation.  During this time, 1/3 of the earth will be burned, 1/3 of mankind will die, and 1/3 of the oceans will be so contaminated, that they will be unfit for use.  Without trying to go into any great detail at all, the Tribulation period will be a real “Hell on Earth”, as God’s wrath is unleashed.

4.  Then, and only then, at the end of the Tribulation period, The Lord Jesus returns to this earth and sets up his 1,000 year reign on the earth.  During the Millennium, those who have accepted Jesus Christ as Savior will rule and reign with him.  Those who rejected Jesus will have no part in his kingdom.  They only have a certain fearful waiting for of the great coming day of judgment.

5.  God will set up his throne and judge all mankind at the end of the millennium.  The dead shall be raised, they shall be given a chance to stand before God and give an account of their life on the earth.  Then those that had not received Jesus as Savior will be cast into the lake of fire where they shall spend eternity.  This day of judgment is called the “Great White Throne”.

6.  Then (As John the Revelator said) “I saw the New Jerusalem coming down from heaven as a bride adorned for her husband.”  God will take his redeemed from the earth, and this planet will be burned with fire:

2Peter 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.  11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,  12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?  13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
 
Don’t get too attached to this piece of real estate here.

The Best Things about Being a Kid

16

Posted on : 09-12-2009 | By : admin

I think all adults will agree that being a kid is much more fun. Not only do they have limited responsibilities, but they can say, do, act however they want because they haven’t reached puberty, therefore do not know themselves yet. It’s okay that Tommy throws fits, he’ll grow out of it. Yes, Jenny is really shy but she’ll come out of her shell one day. The great thing about being a child is the activities you get exposed to that you simply forget about once you reach early adulthood. All the simple things in life have gone away once you start college and live in the real world. Here are some fun activities from back in the day that made it great to be a kid.

  1. All the art projects. Do you remember making those hand turkeys and having your very own “Barney Bag.” Those were the days, having a crayola easel, finger painting, and getting a gold star for coloring inside the lines. Back in the day it was so simple to get your work displayed up on the wall. Once in the real world, that’s something that’s not easily done, you have to fight for it.
  2. Doing chores that seem fun. Things like raking the leaves are fun for kids to take part in. After all, you can make a huge mess again by jumping in the leaves and throwing them at your brothers and sisters. The great things about these little childhood traditions is that your mom and dad won’t yell at you, it’s expected and you’re allowed.
  3. Playing with neighborhood friends. Don’t you wish you could have those summer days back when you woke up, immediately went outside and played with all your friends on the block until dark. It’s so great to have nowhere to go, no bills to pay, and nothing but fun and games all day. If only a real adult could have these pleasures. I guess the rich and the famous have this opportunity, maybe that’s why a lot of them are uneducated and immature.

Basically all the arts and crafts, the snowmen and snow forts, the block parties with friends, the ability to stay out all day, are all the great things about being a child. When life is so great, you must capture it and hold onto it. Before you know it, a kid turns teen, a teen turns adult, and the not so favorable responsibilities force somebody into the not so friendly real world.

Is the Quran interested in Women’s Race or Color?

The Foreigner woman in Bible versus Quran (1)

 

In language, the foreigner woman or the stranger woman is the alien woman or the exotic woman or the outsider woman. However, as determined by the Bible (e.g. 1 Kings 11:1 and Ezra 10:2), the foreigner woman or the stranger woman is the non-Israelite woman.

 

1 Kings 11:1

American Standard Version

1 Now King Solomon loved many foreign women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians, and Hittites;

King James Version

1But king Solomon loved many strange women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites:

 

Ezra 10:2

foreign women from the peoples around us… (New International Version)

foreign women of the peoples of the land… (American Standard Version)

strange wives of the people of the land… (King James Version)

 

Subsequently, any non-Israelite woman is foreigner or stranger women.

This indicates that the women in the Bible are but one of two categories; they are either Legitimate or Foreigner.

 

According to the inspired word of God (Proverbs 2:16-19), the Bible says that the Wisdom will save you from the foreigner women, from the strange (women) who has made smooth her sayings with seductive words,

She (the foreigner women) is forsaking the guide of her youth, and she forgot the covenant of her God.  For her house leads down to death and her paths to the spirits of the dead. None going in unto her neither turn back, nor do they reach the paths of life.

These Biblical verses morally insult and put down all the non-Israelite women, the Foreigner ones.   

Does this mean that the Lord God authorizes racial discrimination among the women on the earth?

 

 In the entire Quran, there is No foreigner woman or the stranger woman.

Also, there is No foreigner man or stranger man

 

The Quran (Verse 4:124) says:

Whoever does any righteous deeds whether of male or female while being a believer who is genuine in his or her faith, (such will enter Paradise and they will not be wronged the dint in a date stone) their rewards will not be diminished even if it be by the size of the dint in a date stone.

Herein, the Quran does not determine the race, the color, the location, the tribe etc. of such male or such female.  Unlike the Bible, the Quran does show any racial interest.

According to the Islamic teachings (Quran and Hadith), all human beings are created by Allah; and the best of them is the one (he or she) who believe in His Creator and obey His Law irrespective of his or her race, color, location etc.

==================================

 

The Bible

Proverbs 2:16-19 (American Standard Version)

 

16 To deliver thee from the strange woman, Even from the foreigner that flattereth with her words;

17 That forsaketh the friend of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God:

18 For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead;

19 None that go unto her return again, neither do they attain unto the paths of life:

 

==================================

 

The Quran

Verse 4:124 (QARIB)

 

“But whosoever does good works of righteousness, whether they be a believing male or female, shall enter paradise, and not be wronged a pit mark of a date stone”.

 

==================================

 

Back to my question to the smart and interested reader:

Are the Scholars truthful when they claim that the Quran quoted from the Bible?

Professor Dr. Ibrahim Khalil,
Prof. of Clinical and Chemical Pathology, Head (ex-) of Clinical Microbiology and Infection Control Unit, Ain-Shams University. Cairo, Egypt

It does take lot have your own place. We all love to have one since our childhood.and as we grow up this urge goes increasing. Then on one day we realise that we need a house or a flat,may be apartment . . .just like we used to have one  . . .a tree house . .a secret place used to play in childhood.

Then comes real challenge in today’s world. . .to own a house.some of us have good job , some don’t and few lucky fellows have great salary,own car and sometime even a home before they need it.peolpe say a good career is a challenge . . May be its true! But challenge starts for many after getting new job.

Many youngsters and experience people wheather,doctors,engrs. , lawyers executives and may professional find hard to match with high rates of real estate. . .although they don’t mention it. So when recession came many had found it golden chance and they took it. But not many able to grab it because in growing economies such as India, china, brazil  . . . Recession doesn’t had desired effect.

For youth of such countries things are much harder. For instance, if you are a professional with 5-digit salary and like to own a property you need to pay in 7-digit ! And by the time you became 60 and wanted to have care free. . . Fun life you still paying installment  . . . . .except if you have consatnt and stable career. . .good savings . . .some legacy . . .or a simple and plane life!

The new economic order is creating a gap or a valley between people , regardless their profession , occupation or qualification. Those wfho can control and manage this mess are corporates and governments. Oh!yes . . .banking and finance institutions!

So some of people who are selling thier farm or property and like to have an urban apartment . .think rational and think again!
