Bible Questions

Hello Amy:

"... so what does Jesus mean here?  Is the end of the world really going to happen?  Or might he be talking about something else?

Jesus is talking about the day when God will come and there will be a new Israel upon the Earth. 

Isaiah 65:17 Behold, I will create new heavens and a new earth. The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind.

Revelation 21:1 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea.

 

Jesus also warns to stay true to God and not wait to clean up your act the day before His return.  For He will come like a thief in the night.

1 Thessalonians 5:2 and 2 Peter 3:10

"... for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night."

 

Now, there are many signs that one might say point to the end times being near.  Also, there are prophets that have pointed to December 21, 2012 (my 50th B-Day).  But, God told us that no one would know the hour or the day!  But, perhaps the beginning of the end might start on that day.  We must be ever vigilant and not fall asleep, spiritually.
