End Times Bible prophecy for beginners

And, um, you do realize that the United States is only about 5% of the world's population, don't you? Funny that the United States is never mentioned in the bible.....it almost seems like the writers thought the whole world lived in the middle east. You'd think that the omniscient creator might have known about all those other people living on other continents.

And, um, you do realize that... there may be other answers possible rather than your assumed ignorance of others, don't you? No need to be so nasty. You can be sure you cannot see another answer/opinion/perspective if you will not allow yourself to even look.

So let me play some devil's advocate, so to speak... The whole point of the show, after all, is mostly about events in the middle east, right? Attention deliberately focused on center stage, perhaps. So Cleveland isn't mentioned... so what? Maybe Ohio, and the United States isn't obviously mentioned because it doesn't necessarily play any major or significant role in the script of the tale being told? Now, of course, one would be expected to say how could the U.S. not be mentioned? So that could, in itself, be a good point. Well, there's a verse somewhere that says something about fire being sent over to those that dwell securely in the coastlands... over there.. somewhere... whatever that might mean... and there must be something really, really big and really, really bad, as in not peaceful, that makes the whole world conditioned to suddenly demand, welcome and hail the man that brings peace, you talk about a cult of personality... before the Grand Finale... wouldn't that be a hell of a story?

All I do know is that I do not know, Eschat does not know and Sun Countess does not know. We should keep our eyes and ears open.
 
Sorry, Lucifer is in the cancer department. Man's pollution is the real truth about cancer and many others.


How can you tell when Jesus and Luficer have the same numerology(444)? Maybe it was a departmental mix-up and Jesus got all the cancer cases.


Maybe Lucifer was the one who got the raw-deal from Judas and the Romans. Who's to say?

I didn't see anything nasty from Sun Countess. Maybe you just take things the wrong way.

Mental masturbation has a score of 390 and 810 for a combined score of 1200. I have no idea what that means exactly but thought you all ought to know.
 
I realize people like you are emotionally crippled and have no idea what it's like to value the truth over cheap systems of circular logic that let you pretend whatever you want, but I thought I'd let you know something. You mean well, outside of your desperate need to assert that the spiritual pacifier you can't stop suckling upon is real, I realize that's probably true. So here's a token bit of advice you may think back on if you manage to grow up and not hurt yourself.

Human rights are better than they have ever been in the last six thousand years, and the quality of life as well is improved for more humans than ever before. Violent crime is lower than it's been since the surge in the 1960s, the world is better off than it's ever really been. We've got some major issues to overcome, but it's feasible we can. And we've been going no other direction but up so far.

Once we overcome the technical and political issues, all we have to do is avoid the diseased and feeble minds (that seek an end to this life in favor of some make believe paradise) from using the weapons of mass destruction mankind has created. Isn't that ironic?

The person warning us is actually what we should be most worried about.

Your kind. You.

Your superstition is what should be outgrown, and hopefully we as a society get beyond the childhood and teenage years of a civilization without doing something stupid like slitting our metaphoric teenage wrists due to emotional hysteria.

I hope one day you learn to overcome these problems, and you are "blessed" with the clarity of vision to understand and improve and take part in the world with the rest of us.

Halfcentaur, what should be done with "his kind"?

Did you know that, in "his superstition" at the end, it's his kind that is gone and out of the picture (so it should then be your ideal) and it is your kind that is unrestrained in its "ironic" "hysteria"?

I'm not assuming ignorance of others, more like the presumed arrogance of those who believe that the United States is the centre of the entire earth. Do other countries even have rapture-seekers and end-timers? Maybe the anti-Christ is living in some hovel in Norway and the rising price of fish is a sign of the end-times.

<snipped nonsense>

I know that when John wrote Revelation, he had no idea that the United States would someday exist. I know that the United States is not the only country outside of the middle east that matters. I know that there is no anti-christ.

What are you keeping your eyes and ears open for? What should all the billions of people who live in Europe, South American, and Asia be looking for? Do you think that the people living in India or China should be alerted that either Barack Obama or Henry Kissinger may be the anti-Christ? Or should they be allowed to continue doing what they do to survive another day and provide something better for their children?

I know that when John wrote Revelation, he had no idea that Twizzlers or Nibs would someday exist. So what? What is your point? You would need to see some mention or role of the United States in prophecy for you to give it the slightest credence of concern?

America is Mystery Babylon. That is why it is a mystery to American Christians, who don't understand why of all nations on earth America is not mentioned in the Bible anywhere.

The reason America is mystery Babylon. However when China invades America in a few years under a UN mandate with a treasonous American president's permission to do so, then America will understand who she is spiritually. Mystery Babylon represents a spiritual prostitute, harlot who once had the truth but left her faith to go do some tricks.

Jesus likes prostitute, Mary Magellan was Jesus' best friend. So America like Mary Magellan who come home to Jesus once she is sick and tired of being hooker looking for loans and handouts from countries like China, Japan and all the rest. Doing their bidding like a hooker rather than taking care of the American people. Jesus will receive America back when the majority of her people seek him. Until then America will continue to fall. Jesus loves naked hookers.

As far as living is concerned and doing all those things, yes do them. Just don't ignore the fact that you must make your own search for God. You can blame whoever you want, but from God's point of view if you do not seek him yourself regardless of all the crap you find in organized religion you are without excuse.

That search is simple. Speak to the air and say will the real God reveal himself to me and show me the truth. That's it, that all it takes to put it in God's court. Some of you have already done that. If you have then it is still in God's court and you will hear from him.

I can bring mead, too, not just dihydrogen monoxide. :p And yes, I can cook quite well. Spanakopita, cookies, hot and sour soup. (And,
judging from the OT prohibition on shellfish, there will probably be ample shrimp in hell to make a decent pot of jambalaya.)
Wow. You had me at spanakopita.

665 the neighbour of the beast.
Nom'd :D

It seems you all have been busy since my last visit. Moderator too. You all seem to think I am shocked by some of your responses. Nope, seen them read them all before.
If my previous post is worthy of your time, please take the time to re-read and respond. Thanx.

My point is that people are wasting their time when they not only take a work of fiction as some sort of truth, but also try to twist things so that everything they see is a "sign" that the end-times are near. They completely ignore the fact that the same fiction book (that they see as truth) said the end-times would come while some of that generation was still alive. They completely ignore the fact that "end-times signs" have been happening for 2000 years and still no apocalypse.

Quit trying to make a prophesy seem imminent, when the very prophesy gave a timeline for when it would happen, and that time has long-since passed. The world has continued, and now we have a United States, and twizzlers and nibs. In short, people have continued to live their lives and invent things and try to make the world a better place, and ignored all the chicken littles who have constantly predicted that the end is nigh.

You would need to see some mention or role of the United States in prophecy for you to give it the slightest credence of concern?
No, I would need to see some sort of evidence that anything written the bible had a nugget of predictive truth to have the slightest credence of concern. As it is, the time of the prophesy has passed. Prophesy fail.

Wow... :boggled:

:confused: Not all the other nations are mentioned in the bible. Canada isn't mentioned. France isn't mentioned. Japan isn't mentioned.

Wha....? You really think that China is going to invade America on a UN mandate? Would you care to put a time-line on your prediction so that we can console you when it fails?

I'm only quoting this because it's funny. Did Mary Magdalene know about Jesus's other hooker BFF?


Jesus will receive America back when the majority of her people seek him. Until then America will continue to fall. Jesus loves naked hookers.
I'm pretty sure that for nearly all of its history, America has had a Christian majority. It still has a Christian majority. That last line is a classic. I can't tell now if you're seriously mentally-ill or a troll. Do you buy a lot of tin foil?
 
Any god that would punish me for not worshiping him is a god who is not worthy of worship.
What then is "worship"? How do you define this "worship" that you so object to?

Does it mean kneel down and bow in the right direction 978,154 times? Does it mean crossing yourself and "praying the Rosary" ad nauseam, ad infinitum? Or does it mean something more like the highest of reverence and respect and love?

In your opinion, from your statement above, what kind of God is worthy of worship?
 
I know that when John wrote Revelation, he had no idea that Twizzlers or Nibs would someday exist. So what?
Twizzlers aren't a major player of the modern world stage.
What is your point? You would need to see some mention or role of the United States in prophecy for you to give it the slightest credence of concern?
Yes, that is exactly the point. It takes a lot to trust that someone can predict the far future. Seeing mere permutations of things John is familiar with makes the predictions quite mundane.
 
No, I would need to see some sort of evidence that anything written the bible had a nugget of predictive truth to have the slightest credence of concern. As it is, the time of the prophesy has passed. Prophesy fail.


Hey look at it this way. If you're wrong, then now you know what to do when these things happen. That is the purpose of prophecy in the first place. So you have a better chance than most because unlike many others I have told you the truth and yes I like naked prostitutes just like Jesus does.

That used to be a secret once. Oh well, slip of the tongue.

PSALMS 22: written by King David

This Psalm is part of the Dead Sea Scrolls, also know as the Jewish Torah. The Jewish Torah is the Christian Old Testament

Psalms 22 was written by the Jewish King David about 900 - 960 years before Jesus Christ was born. You will usually see noted before each Psalm in the Bible where its states it was written by David. When Jesus died on the cross 900 years after David wrote this Psalm, Jesus was fulfilling this scripture. This is what is called a messianic prophecy of the old testament. (Torah) Some of the Jews recognized Jesus fulfilled it after Jesus was hung on the cross but most of the Jews during this time did not realize what they had done. Keep in mind the new testament would not be written by Christians of the way for about another 1,000 years.

One of the Jewish arguments against the Psalms 22 messianic prophecy is this, they say when general Titus destroyed the Jewish temple of 70 AD all original copies of the TORAH were destroyed with it. Then as Christianity grew over the years some of the Jews eventually accused Christians as Christianizing the copies of the old testament Torah that were made afterwords. Christians were accused of making David’s Psalms 22 look and point to Jesus, some even accusing that Christians changed the whole psalm.

Then along comes the Dead Sea Scrolls findings, the oldest known copy of the Torah that predated Jesus’ birth by a few hundred years. The Jewish Essences were attacked by their Jewish brethren due to doctrinal differences that boiled over into hatred and murder. Before the last of the Essences were killed they were able to save a complete copy of the Torah.

That is what the Dead Sea Scrolls are if you were unaware. They are copy of the JEWISH TORAH, (OLD TESTAMENT) written hundreds of years before the birth of Jesus and almost 1,000 before the new testament was written.

Guess what Psalms 22 says in the Dead Sea Scroll? My God, My God why have you forsaken me.

If you read all of Psalms 22 you see were it also states, “Stand in awe of him all you sons of Israel, sons of Jacob. Stand in Awe of who? The one who was killed in Psalms 22 as written by King David.

Psalms: Chapter 22

1 My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? why are you so far from helping me, and from the words of my groaning?
2 O my God, I cry in the day time, but you hear me not; and in the night season, I am not silent.
3 But you art holy, O thou that inhabits the praises of Israel.
4 Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and you did deliver them.
5 They cried unto you, and were delivered: they trusted in you and were not forsaken.
6 But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.
7 All they that see me laugh and scorn me: they shoot out the lip, they shake their head, saying,
8 He trusted on the LORD that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him.
9 But you are he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother’s breasts.
10 I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou art my God from my mother’s belly.
11 Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help.
12 Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.
13 They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion.
14 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.
15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaves to my jaws; and you have brought me into the dust of death.
16 For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have surrounded me: they have pierced my hands and my feet. 17 I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me.
18 They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my garment.
19 But be not thou far from me, O LORD: O my strength, haste thee to help me.
20 Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog.
21 Save me from the lion’s mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns.
22 I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee.
23 You that fear the LORD, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all you the seed of Israel.
24 For he has not despised nor hated the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him; but when he cried unto him, he heard.
25 My praise shall be of you in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him.
26 The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the LORD that seek him: your heart shall live for ever.
27 All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the LORD: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee.
28 For the kingdom is the Lord’s: and he is the governor among the nations.
29 All they that be fat upon earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and none can keep alive his own soul.
30 A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation.
31 They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done this.
