There was no big move by Medvedev during the submission of the budget, my "prophecy" failed. You may reject me as you please.
I have begun to offer major and repeated acts of repentance for that failure

just a quick question:
if you want to interpret prophecy, why not use the prophecies of daniel, ezekiel and revelation, to clarify, adjust, highlight, or illuminate, said prophecies? doesn't make sense to leave them out of your deliberations, as they are the original prophecies. for example, what about the prophecy regarding the woman clothed with the sun,

I have only one reply left for tonight, so let it be this one:
" it just retreats when its about to be snuffed out of existence, "
Well without pointing at anyone, the beast never retreated from world stage until this moment. He was never absent from the world, remaining under different disguises. Perhaps such period must arrive first, before beast's return at the very end. How long that period is? Or how long the war in heaven is? Or how long the promised era of peace is? Are they one same period of time (in earth's perspective)? We don't know. We have no measurement of that kind of times. One human life is not enough to comprehend all of that. That all is not planned by humans in first place
So I am suspicious at everyone who wants to make today's world stage the stage of the end times armageddon. Especially when that someone was the ex-president George Bush Jr. who was opposed in his views by John Paul II. The prophecy is more than naming the opponent politician as the antichrist. Unfortunately, many churches today are doing exactly that, and forget easily their pre-determined armies may quickly change, as for example the EU they already saw as the ...don't know whom. The world changes before our eyes and before the theories of those active preachers who want to see the end here and now. One advise to them: they have first to survive it (the nuclear war) in order to see the end, if there is a such in our times.
"GIANT SUNSPOT CRACKLING WITH FLARES: AR2192 is the biggest sunspot in nearly 25 years, and it is still growing. The active region now covers 2750 millionths of the solar disk, an area equivalent to 33 planet Earths skinned and spread out flat."
The Russian blogger chipstone summarized the most salient points from Putin speech as follows:
1. Russia will no longer play games and engage in back-room negotiations over trifles. But Russia is prepared for serious conversations and agreements, if these are conducive to collective security, are based on fairness and take into account the interests of each side.
2. All systems of global collective security now lie in ruins. There are no longer any international security guarantees at all. And the entity that destroyed them has a name: The United States of America.
7. Russia does not wish for the chaos to spread, does not want war, and has no intention of starting one. However, today Russia sees the outbreak of global war as almost inevitable, is prepared for it, and is continuing to prepare for it. Russia does not war—nor does she fear it.

When talking about the Third Secret, Pope John Paul II stated at Fulda Germany:
"With your and my prayer it is possible to mitigate this tribulation, BUT IT IS NO LONGER POSSIBLE TO AVERT IT, because only thus can the Church be effectively renewed."
Why can't the tribulation be averted?
Why did JPII say that?
I thought the consecration of Russia was the key. What possibly does the Fatima prophecy state that we don't know, which makes Pope John Paul II reject the solution of consecrating Russia? What factors did the Pope have in mind that was making it impossible for Pope John Paul II to consecrate Russia as the solution to averting tribulation? Are their other unspoken conditions?

ah, well i'm more like a partial preterist. for example, the argument that daniel's statue has to have already been fulfilled since its toes would have to be exceedingly long, time proportion-wise, vs the other empires on the statue, i think is wrong. rather, i believe the toes are on a repeat. it's the beast that was, is not, yet is. in other words, whatever the legs of iron were on the statue, that became the feet and toes, is just repeating itself under the guise of other empires. you may think it's no longer in charge, but it is. was, is not, yet is. it just retreats when its about to be snuffed out of existence, re-establishes itself by infiltrating any fledgling powers that moved in to replace it. and if we follow daniel and revelation's example, there's 3 more after the 5th. so that's 3 more empires, all pretending to have nothing to do with the fifth empire, but which are all eventually infiltrated and ruled by the fifth.
afterall, the statue is supposed to represent all the empires the world would ever have till the end of the human dispensation. if it's only supposed to have 5, where'd the next 3 come from mentioned in revelation? clearly, it's 5 doing its "is, was not, yet is" domination of the world technique.
as far as the eagle wings reference, i just meant that whole passage about the woman is not entirely about the events of jesus' life, so you probably shouldn't apply it strictly to that time frame. it's a moving story, moving across time from the crucial event - which was the birth of jesus.
