Remember, people have been pointing to the "signs" for at least 2 thousand years.
What's to say that the "end" is gonna happen anytime soon. What's to say that the people who belived this 2000 years ago didn't already experience the "end". we could very well have "missed the boat" on this one.
Personally, I think the "good book" is anything but clear here, despite what Jack Van Impe would have us to belive.
*Wars and rumors of wars. Shyt, these have been around since primordial man first learned to bash things with a club.
*Disease, do any need reminded of the plague. The end times could've happened in the dark ages. We're just oblivious to the fact.
*False prophets - well, I'd like to know how you'd pick the fake ones out from the real ones. That'd be a great party trick. Watch sunday morning "evangel-a-toons", and pick out satan's followers. I could make a lot of cash that way.
Plus the fact that the entire book of revelations is written in metaphor and similie. If we were susposed to use this crap as a guide, then "John" would've said something like "the European Union is the seat of the antichrist", rather than talk about multi-headed dragons like he was on some horrific trip.
And if something else is pointed to as the "mark of the beast" (crashing music, etherial laughter), I think I'm gonna scream.
sorry if this turned into a rant, guys.

hmm it's pretty amazing that the return of "the lord" is coming at the same time which channeled sources, much like dream and prophetic visions of the bible, have predicted aliens are approaching earth on a cosmic wave which will cause destruction for those who are not prepared to transcend into the 4th density where reality is quite different, much like those who are "good people" get to go to "heaven" in the bible, sadly what the majority of people think of as god is far from what is needed. Some entity took an ancient message and messed it up.
I would love to know where he saw the euro currency and plastic mentioned in the bible...

One of my teachers last semester was also the Bible History teacher and he explained how the bible explained of signs that would happen toward "the end".
He said some of these signs explained in the bible was the temple of Jerusalem being reconstructed, currency changing completely to plastic, being credit cards, europe changing to one currency which has already started and/or happened with the euro dollar, and he knew of many other signs that have already happened in part.
The temple of Jerusalem he spoke of had reconstruction plans approved already, and from listening to everything he had to say, it is very strange how many things are happening that were written and how many things that are very possible to happen.
Does anyone else feel this way about these signs coming true or have any fears of what could happen or do any of you think it's nonsense or cooincidence?

The temple is true.. the rest of it he is making up... it is not in there.
