Wow that earthquake stat is chilling considering >>When Jesus Christ's disciples asked Him what would herald His coming to rule all nations, He
answered by first relaying a series of developments that would lead up to the grand climax of the present age: religious deception, wars, famines,
pestilences and earthquakes (Matthew 24:3-8; Mark 13:3-8; Luke 21:7-11).
Jesus said that these were just the "beginning of sorrows" (Matthew 24:8, emphasis added throughout)—or, as the New International Version better
renders this, the "beginning of birth pains." As birth pangs—or labor contractions—get stronger and closer together as delivery approaches, so
these trends would appear with increasing intensity and frequency as the end of the age approached.
Literally more earthquakes of building intensity..
I sat through a sermon on this subject this weekend.
I don't know. As a fellow midwesterner, I have a strong belief...having said this, I've prayed on the subject...and am no longer concerned. Maybe
I'm wrong, maybe I've been misled by other forces? But while I can agree the wrath of God may be upon the world, I don't think this is truly the
end...if it is, I feel sorry for the Rapture crowd, because none of them are missing
In all seriousness, try to not live in fear. Many people throughout the last 2000 years have seen signs that they were indeed living in the end
times...and they were. And we are. Is this a buildup to the end? I don't know, but the message in my heart is 'no'...but take that with a grain
of salt.
Considering how many people here on ATS seem to be off their meds on this subject, I'll agree with the 'religious deception' part
Seriously, guys...one of the things that originally drew me to ATS was the high level of skepticism; and that's something I'm seeing sorely lacking
these days. And yes I realize this sounds hypocritical right after I got done discussing Christian beliefs, but there it is.
A shadowy conspiracy to re-activate a super volcano? Okeydoke...you got that from a grid pattern on a map? That's the sort of thinking which led
scientists to From what data did the grid come? How credible is the source? Is there a chance of this data being anomalous readings from the
equipment, or from readings too coarse to get any closer than that grid? Question everything, not just what 'they' tell you. If you go looking for
shadowy human (or otherwise) intervention, you'll find it everywhere. Looks like it could be a rounding error (too small a floating-point datatype
for more accurate pinpointing), or something similar.
As for the rest of the theories presented, I know they're in keeping with conspiracy theories, but they're, well, I guess I find it hard to believe
that the DoD can't find a radical Islamic type whose kidneys have failed, but can control the world population...yet the secret's so poorly kept
that it's openly discussed all over the Internet. I hope for the sake of humanity that you're wrong.
I look forward to an official explanation of the funky grid pattern, especially since I would have expected that data to be classified pretty quickly
if there were something to this.
