Hi Thermopolis/
The Abomination of Desolation HAS not yet happened!
The Antichrist has not yet shown himself, and has not been seated in the place spoken of , by 'Daniel'....
About the ''Lost tribes''...I remember reading that all have found their way home.
The last being from Ethiopia....
199?
Take care,

The point is these christians are expecting all the signs on CNN just before they are "beamed-out". Problem is..........these sign are being "spun" by the media.
Example.........Christ spoke of "Great Storms"..............Global Warming now accounts for this prophesy.
Many, many fold increase in earthquakes.........not news anymore unless they are 8.0 or above.
Revelation describes "mountains of fire" and "stars falling from heaven" and great hail the "weight of a talent"............but that's been covered in movies.........
Now Isreal is paying back the terrorist..............WWIII is on us................
The tribulation has begun..............we are in the last 7 year period............
So many "rapture" based churches state they are not afraid of the tribulation because "God will remove his children from that horror" "The rapture"..........
Sorry folks that is a great lie from Satan..............God did not spare his only son from the cross..............the rapture is for those "left" after the great tribulation.........
The greatly anticipated "signs" areall around, yet hidden in plain sight. Christ made it a point to state on his retrun "all the world shall see" So not even CNN or Fox will be able to spin it..........but they will try........perhaps as an alien invasion.........But wasn't that a movie too.......

I don't know how relevant this will be to some people.
I remember watching an episode in a series covering the role of religion in politics around the world. A bloke called Melvyn Bragg was presenting and he is fairly reputable, in the UK at least, so I kind of trusted the integrity of the programme.
Anyhoo, the episode I watched came from the US, and Melvyn was inteviewing a guy who was/had been an adviser to George Bush. One of the points made by this fella was that many people, Mr. Bush himself included, held the belief that Jesus would physically return to Earth once Israel had totally secured the Holy Land for themselves, with Jerusalem holding particular significance.
I couldn't tell you how true this allegation is. It does seem rather crazy, but then again, some 'religious' people do come accross as a bit mad to me anyways! We know that Mr. Ahmadinejad is similarly inclined, re: The 12th Imam
Is this belief being pursued? The capability is there, I guess. Could cotemporary, related and seemingly unrelated, events be part of a plan to induce all out Israeli dominance of the region leading to the second coming!!

You seem to be a little confused if you think the 7 year period is happening now.
WHERE IS THE TREATY???????????

Good points all, though I could have done without the religious = mad remark
Nothing that man can do can bring back Jesus Christ, Number One.
Thre is no Biblical basis for believing that Israel "totally securing the land for themselves" will bring about the return Of Jesus Christ, Number Two.
Christians have differing views on when the return will come about, but Jesus said Himself that "No one knows the day or hour but the Father Himself".

The predictions of the end times over the last 2000 years missed some very important facts.
1948 Isreal reborn
1967 Jerusalem returns to Isreali hands
The "signs" could not begin until the first two above.........
If I am correct the following will happen in this current war.......
Damascas will be Nuked............and soon.........
The remains of the lost tribes will come to Isreals aid.........
The US, Britian, Australia

How far-fetched is it to think if Bush is a fundamentalist, that he won't push armageddon along himself. He is arguably the most unchecked presidential power in our history. He could start the end of times, and for the rest of us it'd be too late to stop him, because of the fear and power he weilds.
Yes, No?

I wonder if ppl even know what that is??
