I think the bible is talking about what the mayan calendar is about, and dont think that calendar is 100% accurate to the minute, it could be 100 years out and still be a good guideline.
I think the Mayan calendar follows sun cycles, and its no coincidence the Galactic Center sent a huge plume of energy out that was photo'd and its roughly the same Light years away that the Mayan calendar takes.
And if that is a cycle, and it just sent out another plume, we're due for something shortly, perhaps.
Volcano could errupt from this, but HAARP may be behind that, and even the ones they serve, off planet ones, because what if that energy is like standing in a CME, which for me was wonderful. So bible, mayans, galactic center, energy plume, sun!
You are as religious as Jews and Muslims but you don't realise it.
The Mayans also worshipped volcanoes, hence the correlation with 'prophecy', which is not prophecy but frightening warnings used to keep the sheeple indoctrinated, and it's so successful it carries on working for thousands of years despite nothing happening! Oh my volcano!edit on 16-6-2012 by TheFogHorn because: (no reason given)
Actually very spiritual and remember where I'm from and the past quite a bit. And what Im doing here.
The Mayan calendar is something that coincides with a real science observation.
This:

Its with scientific interest I note the years from galactic center and the length of time of the cycle, for ancient history is exactly that HiSTORY and very important to pay attention to.
That you're not to me is lacking science.

Charles,
Perhaps you feel the OP is being curt and rude, by asking that comments remain "on topic" and being new, he should be more tolerant. However, within this thread, I have seen long time members behave rudely, condescendingly and add mocking comments regarding the OP personally, and the OP's theory.
You're correct that it's a moderators job to do the moderating, not the OP. Nor is it the job of a member, with no intention of addressing the content of the OP, to post a scolding and then demand that the OP change his/her "understanding."
I have seen many a thread intentionally derailed by those who ramble on about off topic drivel, in order to deflect the objectional subject. That's not what you're trying to do here, is it? Surely you aren't trying to intimidate and school the OP in ATS etiquette?
On topic, are you, as a Christian, aligned with this personality of a fire and smoke breathing, burning rock throwing and earth shaking, wrathful god? Do you think that some of this imagery could have a foundation in the volcanic activity in the area of where these stories emerged?
Do you think that this is the same god that Jesus called father?

I'm sorry, are you seriously asking if I think the God of the ancient Hebrews was a volcano? And that Jesus believed it too? The man who said "if you've seen Me, you've seen my Father" believed that His Father was a volcano? Do you want a simple answer? I believe that idea is damned nonsense. Literally, nonsense that is damned.
Do you think that this is the same god that Jesus called father?
Writers use imagery from everywhere. Some imagery from the OT comes from clouds, storms, mothers, all things in the natural world were available for use as an image. If a writer needed a description for death and destruction, fire and lightning were naturals. To describe a woman's breasts they used fawns. (Song of Solomon, Chapter 4) But is there any evidence besides colorful verses? Did they throw sacrifices into the volcano, human or otherwise? Did they build their holiest temple on it or near it? What about a city? How did the Ark of the Covenant come to be regarded as the Holy of Holies, if it really was a volcano.
Do you think that some of this imagery could have a foundation in the volcanic activity in the area of where these stories emerged?

it's not a flipping volcano. it's a jinn. i.e. an alien. made of smokeless flame as humans are made of clay.
many jinn are known to have the same characteristics of ....vampires....
so maybe the author of twilight knew her stuff after all when she made Edward all sparkly...
I hope you have already learned that I have a great deal of respect for you.
I have never objected to anyone's request that comments remain on-topic, why do you think I did? I objected to being told we were allowed only one word.
Fine, if you object to my telling her that, perhaps you will. How else will she learn if she is not told?
Perhaps you don't understand completely, after all you seem to be relatively new. You do not have the authority to control what is posted in this thread, you may claim it, or think you have it, but you do not.
What you seem to be attempting is the control and restriction of speech here. I don't like it, and I suspect nearly all of the members would object.
As I say, it may be that you simply misunderstand our principles, but please correct your misunderstanding.
Your idea that I am trying to derail the thread is completely incorrect. I'm not doing it here, and I can't remember ever doing it. "Intimidate" someone? Over the Internet? No I'm not trying to do it. I can't even imagine how it is done. (And I also don't know what an "objectional subject" is.)

If the God of the Old Testament was merely a volcano, this was a volcano who could breathe the breath of life into the first man, deliver a nation out of slavery, deliver a set of Ten Commandments, give often quite detailed instructions to people like Moses and Joshua and later work with several prophets, this was a 'volcano' who could pass on detailed instructions for the construction and use of a portable tabernacle, and later, a most beautiful temple at Jerusalem, a 'volcano' who felt anger at people's rejection of laws which were entirely for their own good, a 'volcano' who sent many thousands into a clearly prophesied captivity because of their rejection of a covenant which had clearly previously been mutually agreed upon, a 'volcano' who - in keeping with prophecy (which this 'volcano' itself had inspired) - brought a large segment of these peoples back out of captivity circa 70 years later, then caused a special man, a supreme deliverer, to be born in the time and place which this 'volcano'-inspired prophecy had referred to several hundred years before this birth actually took place. Do I need to go on?
For an observer on the summit of Aconcagua (22,841 feet (6,962 m) in height), the sea-level horizon to the west is at a distance of 184 miles (296 km).
It certainly doesn't look as though Mt. Sinai was the volcano being referred to in this thread.
The Song of Deborah, which some textual scholars consider to be one of the oldest parts of the bible, suggests that Yahweh dwelt at Mount Seir, so many scholars favour a location in Nabatea (modern Arabia). Alternatively, the biblical descriptions of Sinai can be interpreted as describing a volcano, and so a small number of scholars have considered equating Sinai with locations in northwestern Saudi Arabia; there are no volcanoes in the Sinai Peninsula.
Geologists are of the opinion that the eruption of the Santorini volcano at Santorini is the basis of the twelve plagues depicted in the Exodus. Post eruption, a vast neighborhood might have endured sufferings and tribulations like deluge, drought and firestorm etc. Not even cities located on higher platforms could escape the wrath of the devastating earthquakes.
Molten magma ash in all likelihood would have completely blackened the atmosphere.
Scientists believe that most of the twelve plagues occurred as a consequence of the volcanic activity. The mention of darkness in the Bible may be without doubt ascribed to the molten ash and pumice on the surface. Even the stormy winds were blowing to the southeasterly direction where Egypt was located. www.greeka.com...
The plagues occurred due to the volcanic eruption and attracted hordes of locusts and there were evidence of erratic animal activity due largely to the alteration of air pressure and weather conditions. After the complete devastation of Egypt the Jews were able to get away in spite of the Pharaoh’s soldiers in hot pursuit. In the Exodus, there is a quotation which goes like this : “By day in a pillar of cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light” (Exodus 13:21). This state of biblical affairs can easily be related to the volcanic eruption.
According to the Biblical account of the law-giving, Sinai was enveloped in a cloud,[11] it quaked and was filled with smoke,[12] while lightning-flashes shot forth, and the roar of thunder mingled with the blasts of a trumpet;[11] the account later adds that fire was seen burning at the summit of the mountain.[13] Several scholars have indicated that it seems to suggest that Sinai was a volcano,[14] although there is no mention of ash although not all volcanos generate ash;[15] other scholars have suggested that the description fits a storm,[15] especially as the Song of Deborah seems to allude to rain having occurred at the time, although volcanic activity can cause storms. en.wikipedia.org...

Take away all the anger and thundering wrath and what you have left is pure unadulterated consciousness.

Yo... we know what mountian mises went up to meet God on, it's Jabal al Lawz in Saudi Arabia and it's neither an active or dormant volcano. You can see it if you watch "Mountain of Fire". The Saudi military has razor wire all around the mountain and at the base is the alter the Jews used on one side and the altar the golden calf was built upon on the other side.
Who is "we" that know that?
