Hitler at the end thought that he himself was one more casualty in the war.
If you read back in the Bible, the letter of the apostle Paul to the church of Thessalonia, he said that in the latter days before the end of the age that the Earth would be caught up in what he called the birth pangs of a new order.
My mother, who was radiant, young, and beautiful even as she lay dying, heard voices and saw visions, but she always managed to make friends with them and was much too charming to hospitalize even at her craziest.
The devil is not fighting religion. He's too smart for that. He is producing a counterfeit Christianity, so much like the real one that good Christians are afraid to speak out against it. We are plainly told in the Scriptures that in the last days men will not endure sound doctrine and will depart from the faith and heap to themselves teachers to tickle their ears. We live in an epidemic of this itch, and popular preachers have developed “ear-tickling” into a fine art.
Christians will not be here to experience the great tribulation under the Antichrist.
Man now has the power to put an end to his own history.
The Antichrist will be the infernal prince again for the third and last time... so many evils shall be committed by the means of Satan, the infernal Prince, that almost the entire world shall be found undone and desolate. Before these events happen, many rare birds will cry in the air, 'Now! Now!' and sometime later will vanish.
If the world comes to an end, I want to be in Cincinnati. Everything comes there ten years later.
When I turned 50, I realized I was now going to start counting backwards in terms of the years I had left. Then I turned 60, and I just stopped counting. I don't have a fear of death, but I have an awareness that there's a time limit.
Apocalyptic fiction, while ultimately about God's purposes, usually portrays an immediate, human world of competing conspiracies. Whatever happens is orchestrated, coordinated and planned in advance.
Retiring is just practicing up to be dead. That doesn't take any practice.
On my last two days of 'Young and the Restless,' I had 120-something pages of dialogue. My last two days.
Once in a while, when I'm alone, I think about my age. I think, 'How many more years do I have on this earth?' But I can't really conceive of dying.
I am an atheist, myself. A simple faith, but a great comfort to me, in these last days.
When you think about it, the end of the world is a little bit like death: We all know it's going to come eventually, and as we get older, we feel we see the signs more and more distinctly.
It's not as if the New Testament writers came along and said, "The culmination of Old Testament books is more books, New Testament books." In some ways they thought instead of the culmination of Old Testament books being Christ himself, the word incarnate as the opening verses of Hebrews 1 put it. In the past God spoke to the fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his son and the son is revelation.
In the dying world I come from, quotation is a national vice.
Sometimes I think I won't ever feel safe until I can count my last days on one hand.
You feel a sense of urgency, especially at my advanced age, when you're staring into the grave.
Until now has there ever been a time in which so many of the prophecies are coming together? There have been times in the past when people thought the end of the world was coming, and so forth, but never anything like this.
Retiring is getting ready to die.
I am dying soon, and I am choosing to have fun today, tomorrow and every other day I have left.
The first time I went to Cannes, Gus Van Sant was there in competition with 'Last Days.'
My last days at MGM were like the fall of the Roman Empire in fast motion.
Old men should have more care to end life well than to live long.
