[QUOTE="GermanicBroccoli, post: 1503461, member: 23109"] A certain fear of the end times has pedagogical effects, but 24/7 being on the hunt for prophecies and signs makes man useless. I can imagine, that there was a hysteria about the end times when the Byzantine Empire was still to rescue, but many people just said "what does it matter anyway..." Today you see widespread end times apathy. I have two things to add. The spirit of the antichrist is in the world, but that is not breaking news, that spirit was around to the Apostles' times. 1 John 4:3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. And always take comfort and guidance in this: For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7 [/QUOTE]
