is it true that we are in the end times?

do we beleive that there is a antichrist before the second coming?

do we belive there will be many earthquakes in tsunamis dring the end times?
but this is outside of my expertise  

Answer
Dear j:

What do you mean “burnt with fire”? If you mean that the earth will be completely burnt with fire then I disagree. I do not believe that the the Bible supports a belief that the earth will be completely burnt with fire.

Yes, I believe that people will be alive after the Second Coming, otherwise what would be the point?

No, I do not believe in a self-judgment. God is clearly our Judge (Rev. 20:11-15).

I do not know if you will remember the lady that you e-mailed.

Yes, I believe that we are in the end times. We have been there since the first century. “In many and various ways God spoke of old to our fathers by the prophets; but in THESE LAST DAYS he has spoken to us by a Son…” (Heb. 1:1, 2).

Yes, I believe that there is an antichrist before the Second Coming. “Children, it is the final hour; just as you heard that the antichrist was coming, so now many such antichrists have appeared” (1 Jn. 2:18).

There are many earthquakes and tsunamis now.

Thanks you the questions. If I can be of further help just let me know.

God Bless You,
Sal
