460 days until 2,300 days - Daniel 8:14

This post was originally in the free-will thread, but as it was titled with a doomsday prophecy, I have copied it to start a new thread where the prophecy will be more on-topic.

The absolute definition of free will belongs to our Creator alone, but through Christ Jesus we are blessed with our Creator's longing to share that absolute with us.

The best way to conceptualize human free will is to look at some one who is alive and some one who is dead.

This basic concept is presented in the Creation story of man in the Holy Bible.

Although mans shape and form are complete, he doesn't become a living soul until our Creator breathes into his nostrils the breath of life; in essence his free will before being alive is hypothetical, dormant, only potential.

That is why death is but a sleep to the Lord, the real sanctity in free will is our interaction with Him.

Right, "if", and you've just let on that you have little to no respect for your Maker.

That's why there are 458 days remaining to cleanse such filth from the planet.
 
If my arithmetic is correct, this is an apocalyptic prophecy for 28th December 2018.

Elwin Garland, would you like to expand on what is going to happen on that day, and why?

Something needs to exist for one to have respect for it.

If after 459 days the cleansing has not happened will you pick another random date in the future?

Who or what is this lord of which you speak? Why should anyone take any notice of the compiled gibberings of illiterate Arab bronze age goat-herders?
And do you have any evidence to back up this bollocks preachy crap?

Yes well, that's just the trouble with gods isn't it. They are always going to do something or they did something a long time ago. They are never doing anything.
 
Daniel chapter 8:

...
20 The ram which thou sawest having two horns are the kings of Media and Persia.

21 And the rough goat is the king of Grecia: and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king.

22 Now that being broken, whereas four stood up for it, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not in his power.

23 And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up...

This has nothing to do with here and now. How is it that these religious types are so keen to overlook the context of these "prophecy" texts?
 
I just noticed this latest sack of whatever it is that is in sacks....

I live a stone's throw from the William Miller chapel. For those who don't know, here in the Champlain Valley is where much religious ferment seems to have begun. We have the beginnings of Mormonism, Seventh-day Adventism, and a few other utopian isms. The region to the west of here, through places like Chautauqua and Nauvoo, is referred to by some as "the burnt-over patch."

Right across the lake from here is where William Miller, the founder of Seventh-day Adventism, prophesied that, according to Daniel 8:14, the world would end in 1843.

tick tock tick tock.

Don't forget to pack a toothbrush.
 
The fact that religious people claim the world is going to end on a certain date and be wrong about it is some common that listing out all the times they have done it and asking why this time is different is so overdone it's not even worth doing.

This is no longer even the Boy Who Cried Wolf level. At least the wolf eventually came along in that story. This is the Boy Who Cried Chupacabra.

Now, now. You have no evidence that chupacabras don't exist.

This signature is intended to irritate people.
 
The calendars in use today and the calendars of Daniel's time have nothing in common except the passage of time - but on incompatible scales.
 
It will just keep on happening however because of the number of stupid, (or perhaps just deluded), people around and it is just such a great money spinner.

I wonder what percentage of those prophets that forecast the end of the World are conmen?
 
Here's one thing I've learned. If you are going to guess a definitive, exact day for the end of the world, choose one that is going to occur after your dead.

Because if the date passes and you are still alive, we can point and laugh.

And we wonder why religious people won't engage with atheists.

Is there no room for polite, respectful discussion any more?
 
Oh I'm sorry are we not showing the 53,842th prediction that the world is going to end the proper respect?

And you did notice he called us "filth" right?

Wasn't that pretty much already off the table after post 2 (which sounds pretty much to me like a threat of mass murder) in this thread?
