[QUOTE="Roosh, post: 1503204, member: 1"] Every Christian generation thinks they are at the end. If you look at early Church history, they thought Christ was coming back soon. I think Christ was vague on purpose so that every generation would be focused on repentance, because if you don't believe that the end is soon coming, what's the rush? I will live a long time, and I can repent later. But when you believe the world may soon end, that could motivate you. Also, I noticed that eschatology sometimes gets people's foot in the door of the Church. It's a fascinating topic (though easy to go overboard with). The Orthodox view of Revelations is that there are many "types" of the end, and "types" of Antichrist. That said, we are certainly in a type of end. If it's the real end only God knows, but I trust Father Seraphim Rose on this topic, and he said, back in the early 80s, that we are close. [/QUOTE]
