Armageddon- What are your thoughts ?

[dg]

I'm not religious, but I've read most of the bible. IMO, here are the two most important passages from the Book of Revelation, from right at the end:

22:18I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, if any man shall add unto them, God shall add unto him the plagues which are written in this book: 22:19and if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the tree of life, and out of the holy city, which are written in this book.

That means if you're a believer, you'd better quit playing amateur Nostradamus and take it exactly as it's written or you're fucked. Very few preachers, none of the televangelists, and certainly none of the end-time whackjobs seem to be able to "interpret" that part of the book very well. Maybe it's spelled out too plainly for them.

Three Days of Darkness in 2012... what a great Testament song!

You beat me to it dammit!
Molten fire, flies through the sky. Burning high, eclipse of the sun.

There's a girl that I like , at school, who happens to be a Jehovah's Witness, VERY unfortunately, and she believes in this stuff with all her heart. And she just keeps talkin' 'bout how bullshitty the evolution theory is

[gotwtt]

sun is around half way threw its life sow i wouldn't worry about that yet

Armageddon, do you believe this will happen ? I am just trying to get peoples input for a class I have been attending.

My only concern with Armageddon is that there are, or may be world leaders... presidents, leaders of nations & such who believe we are approaching the time of Armageddon. These religeous zealots may make decisions that would promote Armageddon-like conditions with the belief that they are just doing their part to fullfill scripture etc.

I think of these things sometimes when I realize that even in 2008 in the USA "we" have candidates who "have to" state they believe the world is only 5000 years old & that evolution is a myth that defies the word of god in order to remain a viable candidate.

They need beating with a fossilised dinosaur pud, in public, till they get real.

Armageddon was already supposed to have happened a few times according to the experts. The last time was 2007 and we are all still here. I blieve in God but I also believe that not everything happened in the bible the way they say it did.

The sun will burn itself out in another 5 billion years or so. There's your Armageddon.

Decent but cheesy movie, decent but cheesy Def Leppard song.

The concept of the end of the world will only happen the way religious people think if it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy, i.e. exactly what J_A /540s wrote.

[Nuclear Vampire]

Not as it happens in any religious text, that's for sure. Religious scripture is all lies as far as I am concerned. That being said, one day something very bad will happen and human kind will be wiped out. It's inevitable. Asteroid, comet, ice age, global war, disease or a nice combination of those (Can I get a world war with a side order of plague to go, please)

[horns666]

Ahhh shit...I wasted my time here. I thought this was about Chris Amott's band.

The end of the world..I love it!!! I'm going to ride with those of the apocalypse and hump their legs..and fuck the whore of Babylon!!!

I am the chosen one that will do battle at the end of days..and pudslap those bitches back to oblivion.

You can thank me now if you'd like..

[markD]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! i think the way people bash "religious wackos" is hilarious!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

no single person or a small group of leaders can force something to happen if it isn't on God's timeline or within His will. nobody can predict the time either. certain things HAVE to happen first, and we can LOOK for those things or read into stuff as much as we want, but only God knows the time.

i am not worried about it anyway. i know enough as a "religious wacko" to feel perfectly safe, secure and happy.

[AfterForever]

I'm staying out of this one

I want to make so many jokes, but I don't want to piss people of :P

[Bengal]

Armageddon is the Meggido valley in Isreal. I believe what is predicted in Revelation and Daniel will happen. I wont discuss it here because I dont feel like argueing back and forth and it will get ugly and we dont need that here. I will in PM though haha.

Sorry, I can't help it.

yard dawg,
You are so fond of calling people who believe in the political system "sheeple" but yet you buy this crap? Really? Seriously? Who's the sheep? And correct me if I'm wrong but aren't you called sheep in the bible and Jesus is your shepard? That's too goddamn funny my man. Too funny. But then again, no one likes me here so what does it matter?

I don't mind pissing people off.

I agree with what Matt said, Sun goes out, everyone dies.

[horns666]

I am the chosen one..bow down.

Those who have the mark on their sack will be saved. It is the bite mark of the whore of Babylon, for she is my bitch..and sucks a good dick.

ALL children will be spared. BUT..

All girls between the age of 17-40 must have my bite mark on their booby..I make the laws at this time, and I can change them how I see fit..so sayeth the beast.

Bow down.. Bow down..the end is near..the end is near..I can't wait!!!
