I'll say this much for you Speakeroftruth, at least you are one step ahead of many people who don't even realize that we are on the verge of a global transformation. At least you know things are not going to be "business as usual" for much longer. Some people won't even admit to global warming. As the prophecy says, "There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth."
Be back later. I have some tax work to tend to.

You are right. Many are in the dark when it comes to, at least to me,the fact that we are at the cusp of something huge. There are many who are afraid, but I don't think they really comprehend the magnitude of what is happening.
Again, I think it's all in relation to what people have always expected the "end" to be like, as opposed to how it really is. The bible is quite clear when it states that there will be a "great deception." I personally think the deception is the fact that the "end" is occurring right under our noses and most don't even really realize it!!
I am not saying that supernatural events will not occur,they are and have been for quite sometime every day. However, they are not generally as overt as many interpreters of scripture seem to imply they are. Most supernatural events happens to us individually and not to the masses. Now, if you want to get into the Marian apparitions and such that is a whole other issue.
I suppose what I am saying is that perhaps the Mahdi has come. We don't know. I am certainly not going to downplay what the people of the Islamic faith expected just because it didn't occur "with a shout" from heaven. I still would like for someone to explain to me what that is supposed to mean.

I think:
Megaphone - Thunder - Roar like a boom.. Somthing.
Or - Maybe it is the message of some kind - shouting inside peoples minds - in one way - perhaps a wake up call/shout.
Appearing with a shout does not mean necessarily that a loud voice will thunder from the heavens and announce that the Mahdi has arrived. To appear with a shout can mean, more generally, any kind of spectacular appearance. It may be that the "shout" refers to a bright light that appears around the Mahdi and declares to everyone who sees him that he is an extraordinary individ

It's quite possible that this may happen as well. I just can't buy into the whole "thunderous voice from the heavens bit," though. I mean, I guess a comet or something could come in close to earth prior to the "Madhi's return" and that could be viewed asa "shout from the heavens," but how many would catch on to it? Not many, because once again it would be contrary to what most would expect.

I have a feeling a bunch of people are going to be in for a lot of surprises over the next five years. I am sure that I will be surprised by many things as well. I am not infallible by any means. :shk:

Yeah most muslims believe only god knows the future, therefore this belief about march 21st is invalid.

I agree completely that only God knows the future. However, He can reveal the future to whomever He wishes when it suits His purpose.

Well, considering the promises of God, there will be those who will know and those who will not.
