Typical of those who have the spirituality of a plank of wood to show up and criticize a poster for trying to save a few souls.
Are you saying trees are not part of the Great Spirit, and thus spiritual? Plank of wood contains atoms that are expressions of the Intelligence in
the Cosmos (just look at how particles behave, predicting future and all, like they were pieces of a living Omnipotent Being). How can you claim it's
not spiritual?
Anyway, even if what you are saying is true, it doesn't mean OP is 100% correct. It's easy to predict and fit any event to any prediction if you work
hard enough and twist your perspective enough. Doom porn should always be taken with a grain of salt.
Have you ever seen 'Film Theory' or 'Game Theory' youtube channels? They work very hard to bring you a RIDICULOUS point that SEEMS to be true and
backed by the (very carefully selected) "evidence". It's entertaining, funny and shows dedicated, brilliant work - but it's still not actually proof
of anything.
The OP in this thread seems very similar - lots of hard work and lots of selective assumptions and joining things that might not actually belong
together, but because there's seemingly enough 'evidence', it looks like they hit the nail in the head - which they most certainly didn't.
The ending times could've been predicted (and indeed, HAVE been) throughout human history - any day after the industrial revolution was at full swing,
could easily been seen as being full of signs of ending times.
However, something weird is happening in the world, and there's an uneasy restlessness all over the place.. I can't predict the future, but I am more
scared of it every passing day.
In the end (no pun intended), we have to ask: WHAT will end?
The Universe? Surely not.
The solar system? Highly unlikely.
The planet? Possible, but I don't see that happening any time soon.
All people on the planet? More likely, but maybe not, looks like -that- isn't happening.
Some people on the planet, some destruction? Well, now we're entering a grey area, since this is happening already constantly. Nature is destroyed for
factories and housing every day. Air is being polluted. Oceans are being polluted. Species die, they go extinct. People die every day - in fact, every
single physical body owner and user can expect that very physical body to stop functioning at some point.
Mass-destruction of .. how many people would be enough to be considered the 'end'? Million? Billion? 50% of the populace? 90%?
Where do you draw the line, how do you define 'end'?
You have to realize that for anyone, whose body dies, it IS the end already.
If 1000 people die in a flood, that's the 'ending times' for them. Their time ended.
So what has to happen, for it to be undeniably 'the end'?
