About 10 years ago I noticed something to be quite perplexing about the bible. With all of the prophecies concerning the end times how can the people look at the judgments and not see this a clear act of G-d? I have two questions for you, and two answers I would like some input as to weather or not you agree or if you have another theory that you would like to offer.
Have you noticed what global warming claims and consequences are eerily similar to the judgment bowls of G-d? Would it be safe to assume that to turn people away from the bible in the future is to indoctrinate them now with an explanation?
Take a look:
Sores and boils from the first judgment bowl will be just a happy coincidence no doubt and played down as a side effect from all the bad pollution that we have put into the atmosphere.
The sea will turn to blood. This will happen first because a lot of commerce from our ships are on the sea. Oil drilling and transporting will get the blame. Eventually it will spread to the rivers and streams, probably a chemical reaction from acid rain once it reaches fresh water below.
The sun will be given power to scorch men by fire. (Obvious connection with global warming there)
Total darkness judgment will probably be accredited to debris in the atmosphere blocking the sun.
The Euphrates river will then dry up which would probably be associated with evaporation and drought.
The final one will be earthquakes and hail on a massive level which we already know Bush/Chenny oil drilling will take the blame for.
Now we come to the specific actions of the A-C. Now it would seem to me that the A-C would try to avoid doing anything in the word of G-d. So what are your thoughts, do you think that perhaps all avoidable prophecies will occur before the indwelling of Satan? After all Satan does know the word of G-d and the original host may not know the word at all.
And yes I know some of you don’t believe in G-d, you don’t have to comment because I already know who you are. You make it abundantly clear on all the religious posts. Just ask that you keep an eye on this stuff and be very careful of Javier Solana and article 666.
"And oh, btw, spelling G-d instead of God is blasphemy."
actually, observant Jews avoid writing any Name of God casually because of the risk that the written Name might later be defaced, obliterated or destroyed accidentally or by one who does not know better.
The commandment not to erase or deface the name of God comes from Deut. 12:3. In that passage, the people are commanded that when they take over the promised land, they should destroy all things related to the idolatrous religions of that region, and should utterly destroy the names of the local deities. Immediately afterwards, we are commanded not to do the same to our God. From this, the rabbis inferred that we are commanded not to destroy any holy thing, and not to erase or deface a Name of God.
It is worth noting that this prohibition against erasing or defacing Names of God applies only to Names that are written in some kind of permanent form, and recent rabbinical decisions have held that writing on a computer is not a permanent form, thus it is not a violation to type God's Name into a computer and then backspace over it or cut and paste it, or copy and delete files with God's Name in them. However, once you print the document out, it becomes a permanent form. That is why observant Jews avoid writing a Name of God on web sites like this one or in newsgroup messages: because there is a risk that someone else will print it out and deface it.
Normally, jews avoid writing the Name by substituting letters or syllables, for example, writing "G-d" instead of "God."
Now, tseirpeht claims to be a messianic jew, as a jew, I do NOT believe that is a possibility. Belief in christ makes you christian. So I consider him to be a Christian who follows jewish law.
As for the rest of his thought process, I do not consider that a possibility either.

No. Revelation does not describe the melting of polar ice, rising sea levels, devastation to coral reefs, or irregular weather patterns.
What Revelation describes, sounds an aweful lot like what was going on in the 1st and second centuries.
An epidemic swept through the Roman empire that many historians have concluded was smallpox (a skin disease), and that it killed roughly 1/3 of the population. Caligula had a statue of himself erected in the Temple at Jerusalem (the desecration of desolation), the temple was destroyed later. The Bar Kochba revolt had a self annointed Christ leading a massive unsuccesful revolt, which killed about 1/3 of the Jewish population (many will say "I am the Christ"). ... and so on.
Revelation is about the past, not the future.
The whole point of a prophecy is to predict something, right? If all you're doing is looking at events that have already happened and trying to make them fit with some section of the bible, that's not predictive - it's just an exercise in making things fit, like assembling a child's jigsaw puzzle. But if these really are prophecies, you ought to be able to make a solid, testable prediction about something that is going to happen, but hasn't yet. So go right ahead - I can't wait to hear it.
It makes no sense to predict anything to you, because when, what I have predicted, comes true, and I show you that it has happened, you will simply say that I am just trying to make things fit my prediction.
Since you're clearly one of those people who think the bible is chock-full of prophecies: Predict something.

That would depend entirely on how accurate the prediction is. If, like most 'prophecies', it's vague and could refer to just about anything, then yes, I would say exactly that. If it's specific, though, and could only refer to one thing - which surely any true prophecy would be - then I would have to concede that it was indeed an accurate prediction.
Yeah I don't actually recall mentioning 'Al Gore' anywhere in my post so we'll skip that one. And you see I am spending my time doing something I believe in, giving good positive advice to the people that need it, and if that means trying to assure people that there is nothing to worry about when it comes to these fairytale, fear propaganda 'prophecies' then so be it. Thankfully the kids here are smart, really smart. They wont fall for any religious based fear tactics like you obviously did when you were growing up.
Here's my theory, I think that these 'prophecies' are nothing but tools designed to instill fear in those that want to be afraid. Why these people take to the idea is beyond me, I'm not sure why anyone would want to live in fear, or try to instill fear in others. These religious types need to stop pointing the finger at others and start taking some responsibility for themselves instead.
Well, one thing they won't be able to explain is why none of the CHRISTIAN people will get boils, or why the darkness won't effect them. Plus, the christians will not be scorched by fire. The christians before the rapture will be gone, but those who become christians after won't get hurt or effected in any way by these things.
Simmo is completely right. Bible & those phropecies have nothing to do with nowadays us. They were written for Nero and if you have studied you would know that not even the number 666 is true, it was translated wrong. And oh, btw, spelling G-d instead of God is blasphemy.
And so your suggesting that Al Gore and his message of doom and gloom is a good thing? As I said I know there are people like you out there, why dont you go spend your time on somthing that you do believe in.
Ok, well the next time the UN hands you some information on climate change and it is missing 3 pages, you should ask for those pages.
Sorry but your not going to get me to disrespect G-d. If you could please research something before calling it blasphemy.
lord, tseirpeht, your rants give both jews AND christians a bad name.
