  • Some False Beliefs Concerning the End Times
    Some False Beliefs Concerning the End Times It has been said: “Wherever God builds a church, the devil sets up a chapel next door.” In other words, whenever God’s saving truth is proclaimed, the devil will follow close behind to spin false teachings that are intended to rob people of their salvation. This certainly has been true with the Bible’s teaching of the end times. Many Christian teachers claim that there will be a semi-utopian thousand-year period of prosperity and blessing on earth immediately after the New Testament era and immediately prior to the final judgment. This thousand-year period is called the millennium (from the Latin language in which mille means “thousand” and annus means “year”). The following time line shows how the millennialists view the end times. Compare this with the scriptural time line below it. Millennialism: Scripture: The thousand years The idea of a millennium comes from Revelation chapter 20. It is important to note that this is the only passage in the entire Bible which mentions a thousand-year period. Revelation 20:1-3,7-12: I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key to the Abyss and holding in His hand a great chain. He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil, or Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. He threw him into the Abyss, and locked and sealed it over him, to keep him from deceiving the nations anymore until the thousand years were ended. When the thousand years are over, Satan will be released from his prison and will go out to deceive the nations in the four corners of the earth—Gog and Magog—to gather them for battle.

  • End Times Timeline CCC August 30, 2020 Visuals
    End Times Timeline CCC August 30, 2020 Visuals – Across the stage signage. Four signs representing each age. Three cutouts – One of Rapture, one of Second Coming, one of Zombie Introduction – Quick show of hands. How many people have ever found end times stuff to be Confusing? If your neighbor just raised his/her hand, say to them “I knew you were confused.” How would you like to have a quick handle on what is going to happen when Jesus comes back again? Today, I am going to try to make that happen in under 40 minutes. So lets pray. Seriously… Pray OK, so the end times are so crazy partly because of terminology. Partly because of theological positions. Partly because the Bible is crystal clear on some things – like Jesus is coming back. Unclear on other things – like what is the order of events. And downright intentionally obtuse about other things – like when the rapture will take place. So I am going to run after this with a really clear statement up front. “I might be wrong.” I know… a shocking thing for a pastor to admit. Now raise your eyebrows and turn to the person next to you and say – he might be wrong. (really, I wont do that all message). I have studied this for 30 years now and changed my mind a few times. I may change it again in five years. I may have never been right on some aspects – so I’ll do my best to share multiple views and my personal opinion… but just so you know that I know that this is complex stuff that will come down in the future – and I am approaching it all with humility – and I’ll let you know if I change my mind.

The aim of the study were analysis and interpretation corolla marks of the vessel of the Late Bronze Age, belonging to Srubna culture and which was found near the Staropetrovsky village in the northeast of the Donetsk region. Performed calculations and measurements revealed that the marks on the corolla of Staropetrovsky vessel are marking of horizontal sundial with a sloping gnomon. Several marks on the corolla of the vessel have star shape. Astronomical calculations show that their position on the corolla, as on "dial" of watch, indicates the time of qualitative change the visibility of Sirius in the day its heliacal rising and the next few days in the Late Bronze Age at the latitude of detection of Staropetrovsky vessel. Published in the article the results of astronomical calculations allow to state that astronomical year in the Srubna tradition began with a day of heliacal rising of Sirius.

  • Millennium Time-Scale Experiments on Climate-Carbon Cycle with Doubled
    Hajima et al. Progress in Earth and Planetary Science (2020) 7:40 Progress in Earth and https://doi.org/10.1186/s40645-020-00350-2 Planetary Science RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Millennium time-scale experiments on climate-carbon cycle with doubled CO2 concentration Tomohiro Hajima* , Akitomo Yamamoto, Michio Kawamiya, Xuanming Su, Michio Watanabe, Rumi Ohgaito and Hiroaki Tatebe Abstract Earth system models (ESMs) are commonly used for simulating the climate–carbon (C) cycle and for projecting future global warming. While ESMs are most often applied to century-long climate simulations, millennium-long simulations, which have been conducted by other types of models but not by ESM because of the computational cost, can provide basic fundamental properties of climate–C cycle models and will be required for estimating the carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration and subsequent climate stabilization in the future. This study used two ESMs (the Model for Interdisciplinary Research on Climate, the Earth system model version (MIROC-ESM) and the MIROC Earth system version 2 for long-term simulation (MIROC-ES2L)) to investigate millennium-scale climate and C cycle adjustment to external forcing. The CO2 concentration was doubled abruptly at the beginning of the model simulations and kept at that level for the next 1000 or 2000 years; these model simulations were compared with −1 transient simulations where the CO2 was increased at the rate of 1% year for up to 140 years (1pctCO2). Model simulations to separate and evaluate the C cycle feedbacks were also performed. Unlike the 1pctCO2 experiment, the change in temperature–cumulative anthropogenic C emission (ΔT–CE) relationship was non-linear over the millennium time-scales; there were differences in this nonlinearity between the two ESMs.
