God ALWAYS warns his people before judgement comes... ALWAYS.
It is not loving to allow deadly pollution to destroy perfection and love.

Actually, I don't relish even the evil doers suffering.
However, I think there is SOMETHING to be said for their being taken off the world stage soonest--before they have time to sow much greater suffering for themselves by even more evil deeds.
The whole END TIMES thing is a vivid OBJECT LESSON to ALL CREATION about the consequences of doing one's own selfish prideful thing instead of doing things God's way with God's values to His Glory.

Meanwhile, someone in Amsterdam chuckles at the self importance of Americans and their "sinful" lifestyle...bunch of lightweights.
Typical religious mumbo jumbo. There are parts in the world that makes the US look like a puritan country of nothing but devout followers. There are corrupt politicians that make the US politicians look like eagle scouts.
Yet somehow, the religious nuts in this country think we are the epicenter of the universe and are no doubt going to bring down Gods wrath because of our growing tolerance and/or military interventionism (nevermind Russia, china, france, and a host of other nations chuckling at our tiny actions.)
Its BS because if anything, the article suffers from epic vanity in regards to nationalism. its a bit like saying the apocalypse is going to happen because your sister wore a short dress. doesn't matter what anyone else does, your sister is the only important factor in all of humanity and because she displeases the Christian god, the world is doomed.
Might work on your sister if she is dim, and no doubt the people whom follow such stuff will also fall for this latest bible thumping nonsense, but for others, well for me, I have been hearing how America was about to cause the apocalypse for as long as I have been aware enough to follow such things. people are always crying how the end is nigh. I imagine perhaps one day someone will get it right, but I don't reckon it will be this guy.

There will be some of all kinds here until the end - both the repentant and the unrepentant.
In a sense I view God as the abnormally patient, long-suffering parent who has been letting us stretch our legs and do things more or less our way for the past 2,000 or so years in an attempt to get us to realize that we really can't come up with a better way, and He gave us a short and simply list of guidelines for a reason.
But as time has gone on, more and more people have become convinced that they don't need Him and that the things He told us not to do are really OK.
Like any parent, He has warned us, repeatedly, over and over, but we haven't listened, and now we're reached the point where the harshest and most direct measures are about to come out. And when He isn't happy, no one here will be happy. Those who follow Him in a sincere manner will be provided for one way or another, but that doesn't necessarily mean we will survive here on earth to the end ... but we will still be provided for. And for those who still deny Him after He takes a direct hand ... well, why should you expect His leniency anyhow?
Does it really matter to you since you don't believe?

Whether you relish it or not, isn't it written that they will be here till the end?
You also seem to be avoiding Mr. Sklar's poor track record as a prophet.
Until it actually happens it isn't a vivid anything.

I don't know that any of the timelines involved with Maurice's dreams, visions, prophecies have transpired.
Before the end of 2007, a nuclear “dirty bomb” will blow up in a major city in the south of America.
It can wait a very long time. The degree of vividness will MORE than make up for any delay.
