I really don't know what religion to consider myself but I have been reading about the Bible codes and the end of time concept according the codes and I was just wondering what other Religions believe about the end of times. I read somewhere that most religions have an end of times scenario and none really contradict themselves. If the members of this site could give me information on their religion's ideas of the end of times that would be great.
I read the Bible Codes myself as well.
As a prior church goer I did believe in the literal of revelations....seven signs, tribulation, rapture, and the anti-christ,
Have you ever heard of Edgar Cayce (The sleeping prophet)? I think his esoteric view is on revelations and end times is extremely interesting. However it would refute what many christians think and would refute the literal in many ways....
As for end times I tend to think we are just in the beginning of a spiritual war of aorts. However I tend to think that mankind will evolve versus the dooms day prediction. it has been argued and seems revelant that John was reffering to leaders of his time and talking in code so that he wouldn't be directly associated with talking about those leaders and killed. I suppose it just comes down to what resonates and what you truly believe when you have weighed everything in your own mind.
