1.if matthew 24 follows a specific time frame you have no point. The verse you listed comes into play AFTER the "great tribulation" is mentioned. Close but no cigar man.
2.I don't know WHAT they did behind closed doors but I think you should study about prophecy and what it means to be a prophet. If you're thinking someone must perform miracles, show signs or do wonders to be a false prophet or false christ you are mistaking.
3.Please study the old testament (thats where you will learn about prophets) and what it means to be a prophet or false prophet. I don't think you understand it and I come to that conclusion based on your posts.
4.Study the 70th week, time of jacobs trouble and restoration of ephraim.
you said:
"As for plagues and natural disasters, you think Sars is a plague?
Aids? Sars is like the flu man, the flu killed people at first but what does it do to us now? Same for Aids, ooh it's gonna kill us all. Now even infected people live as long as they want to.
These viruses, germs, etc. have been around for ever. Recorded history only started a few years ago. All these diseases and natural disasters are part of "their" propoganda to scare us.
Shit ain't as bad as "they" make it seem."
Do they have a cure for sars? Did I say sars was a plague? Do they have a cure for the flu? Does sars have the potential to wipe out a large percentage of people? yes. does hiv/aids? yes. Who is infected with aids that live as long as they want to? People die from it DAILY especially in the black community. You are making it seem as if you can walk into a drug store get aids medication and live til your 80.....
As far as these viruses being around for ever thats up for debate. Those who believe aids/hiv was created in a lab (among other diseases) will disagree with you. Actually I don't see it as propaganda. Nor do I live in fear. I disagree with things not being as bad as they make it seem. THINGS ARE WORSE. What do you mean by recorded history only started a few years ago? Please elaborate.
"Now you ask if what I'm looking for is a climax? The answer is a bit complex. No slow creeping disease is gonna kill us as we'll just become immune to it. Not SARS or AIDS.... It's gonna be something that hits us by surprise, something that we won't be ready for."
Something can hit YOU right now and YOU won't be ready for it because you have the "time is on our side" mentality. Just like the thousands of other "christians" who pray for a rapture and great escape. A new sickness can hit tommorow and wipe out hundreds of thousands people. People will STILL go about their business and not too many would care. People werent ready for west nile, sars or hiv yet it wiped out millions of people. Did it take the world by surprise? YES.
"You wanna know what the climax is? We're setting ourselves up for it with antibiotics. At one point, they are not going to work anymore because germs will become immune to them. It's going to get to the point where nothing we have can kill them."
I don't see how that statement is in harmony with your other statements.
"As far as Christian persecution and all out war;First off, yes martial law will be declared here at home immediately following a WMD attack. But that doesn't mean the end for freedom around the entire world. "
America is the glue that holds the world together. Look man study the 70th week of daniel because most of the stuff you are typing makes no sense. It's NOTHING for the WORLD economy to break down and be reconstructed over night. Mondex, digital angel and Verichip is NOT something that can/will happen 50-100 years from now. It's something that can happen NOW. Study the 70th week of daniel and you'll understand this a bit more. The ENTIRE world watching the two witnesses is NOT something that can/will happen 50-100 years from now. Its something that can happen NOW. The ENTIRE world is connected with television and internet. Think about it.
btw i meant to say TO SAY THOSE PEOPLE ARE *NOT* FALSE PROPHETS IS LUNACY.
MOVING ON:
"They" have a long way to go in the Middle East, Southeast Asia, parts of Africa, and parts of South America. It won't be another 100 years until they reach their goal, so there is plenty of time. I'll give them 50 years top, but even then that's plenty of time. All we need is one generation of education to pull this off. (I know, the odds are stacked against that happenning)
"THEY" don't have a long way to go in the middle east. Please study the 70th week of daniel. They dont have a long way to go in ANY part of the world because THEY control the worlds finances and resources. LOL@100 years until they reach their goal....LOL@plenty of time...What new technology needs to be invented to help them implement the plan? It wont take israel 100 years to make a peace covenent. Please study the 70th week of daniel.
What will one generation of education help? Are you saying that this can be stopped??????? LMAO!!!! This is something that MUST happen. It ***CAN'T*** be stopped because its already rolling. No amount of education, knowledge or resources will stop the ball. Man will CONTINUE to do as HE see's fit. Noah tried to educate the people......
"Jesus did say the end is near, but he also gave us clear signs as a warning. And a lot of these signs are still yet to be seen, experienced, or you fill in the blank...."
Please study the 70th week of daniel, old testament prophecy (what it means to be a prophet who is and who isnt) and new testament greek and latin.
