Okay, let's think about this carefully, shall we? Here we are, safe in our beliefs, with no apocalypse and no fear. Now... why would we want to convert to a religion because it promises us an apocalypse and fear?

I guess we will just have to wait and see won't we?

If revelations happened, I would have to call it The Last Saturday Morning Cartoon.

According to my beliefs if the Human race ever came to an end we'd just pop up on another planet.

If it does happen it is because too many people are bucking for it, for example the Christian groups that fund the Jews to rebuild the Temple on the Mount which is currently occupied by the Dome of the Rock. Now if that happened all "hell" would break loose, don't ya think?

The thought of the whole world ending over the quarreling of Abrahamic siblings is a funny one.

Clear eyes in which you see.

Be certain the apocalypse is from the beast (western capitalism) that can dominate the meek and even over power them in which Israel was born by the western imposition to Palestine and the people who 'think' they are the 'chosen ones' do in fact bring the beginning of the 'end times' ....

Somkid ... you hit it on the money, I hope you do not live in the big cities or simply as soon as the very first one kicks off you are ready for the 'migration'..... see the hopi meaning of the swastika

It will be 'knowledge' that removes the religions from power bringing the institution of combine the people of the globe to a universal equality. The people will be the judges forever more.

Some say a 'dude' will walk on water; the truth of the matter is, he is but a man with knowledge that combines mankind..... and be certain, there is no magic!

I've posted this link before, but it's awesome. There's a nice description of dozens of end-of-the-world scenarios, both "religious" ones and more "science-based" scenarios.

Enjoy . . . . Exit Mundi!

Greetings!

IOV no, it is not "bunk!"

And while some interpretation is required to understand the propecies, they are eminently comprehendable given the right viewpoint!

Indeed, we see them as already fulfilled, these things having already started to come to pass about a century and a half ago! And more, I have a 215-page online book that explains the prophecies in detail, verse by verse.

Part of the confusion comes from the fact that the "end times" referred to are often mistaken due to a mistranslation.

The word used in the original Greek New Testament is "eras," which means "world" or "age."

And the wrong meaning was chosen by the translators of the King James Version when they spoke of the "end of the world": IOV this should in fact say the "end of the age!"

So as is often the case, things may in fact become simpler than is initially thought!

Best regards, :-)
