You do sound like her father. And who really knows whats gonna happen?aliaschick4mv said:OMG this is depressing. You people sound like my father "This is the BIG one." But, did you guys here about the talking fish in NY. Apparently it started yelling apocolyptic warnings in hebrew.
Umm... They became a nation in 1948.thampton20 said:Kalan...Yes, I have read all of the Left Behind books that are out. I love them!
Anyway, there are currently 23 nations in the EU. They are adding new ones each year. The book of Daniel states that the last World power would be the revived Roman Empire. It the EU is not that then....I don't know. And the first sign of the world coming to an end is when Isreal becomes a nation. Jesus said this generation will not pass. Hmmm.. Isreal became a nation in 1967. A generation in the Bible is 51.2 years. You do the math and take a look at the headlines.
Remember, this is my opinion. My interperation.
The most fascinating argument I've seen about Revelations is that it was about Nero (whose name works out to 666), who most certainly was an apocalyptic force to a great many Christians (although not the entire world). That would also explain why the time was "near."Jonathan said:Well, as a Catholic I put very little stock in Revelations. the official catholic position is that Revelations is nothing more than metaphorical language. It is an ancient explanation for the end of the world. Post-Jesus, his followers thought that the end of the world was really close. So John (or whoever wrote it) used metaphors to describe the return of Christ.
In short, I think that this horsemen, peace, new world order stuff is a bunch of baloney.
I am not going to attack you for that! Thats what I use, KJV is the best.thampton20 said:I am sorry, I made a mistake, the bible looks as Isreal becoming a nation when they gained control of Jerusalem. I will get some bible verses on here later tonight. I use the KJV bible. I am sure I will get attacked for that.
