Right. It's too bad a Prophecies / Predictions are isn't available.

I believe the Bible isn't the "real" story anyhow, but I do respect, study and regard it with some esteem. Having said that, I also know it has been through various editing, beginning with the Council of Nicea, onward, (that;s a very long time, especially if you believe like me a lot more time has actually passed than we readily acknowledge openly anyway), additions and subtractions.

But what you say here, even as I believe what I do, I'd like to point out to you that the "scope" of time of revelations was to cover at least 1,000 years or more, quite clearly. So........factor that into what you wrote, and I'm not sure your point of view holds much validity.

Our best historians, whether I believe they were telling the truth or not--they thought they were--would tell you that mankind's biggest shortcoming has always been his inability to guage actions, consequences, and the long view and big picture. Your comment is a perfect illustration of this.

When Rome fell and Europe went into a dark age, people were convinced Revelations was happening. When the Vikings appeared in 800A.D. as men "from the North" people were convinced Revelations was happening. 1000 years after the death of Jesus Christ people were convinced Revelations were happening, and on and on and on. Even today, I overheard a lady at the checkout line in the grocery store tell another woman that "Revelations is happening now." Everyone always thinks that their generation is the one that Revelations is taking place in. Revelations seem to be taken very seriously simply because it was put into the Christian Bible. Even by people who don't go to church.

I like the predictions forum, because sometimes I will actually hear of other prophecies from places and cultures that are written much better and make alot more sense than any of the abstract metaphors of revelations that repeatedly get regurgitated as "This is what God meant when he said this will happen." Or complicated series and patterns of numbers that are the "code" of revelations. For every decent thread about Edgar Cayce, or the Hopi prophecies or just about any other prophetic work that has ever been posted on here there are at least 10 threads on Revelations with everyone cracking the code of what John meant when he said this or that. Not to mention that the author of revelations is still unknown. St. John did not write it. The authors name is John but the writing styles of the gospel John and revelation are totally different. Also Revelations was written about 100 years after the gospel of John. So basically what I see is people obsessing and pouring over a poorly written prophecy by an unknown author. Maybe I am not seeing "The big picture." But its what I see.

Well it has is you bother to do the research.. History proves it.

? what you talking bout Willis?

The rivers drying up must just be a natural coincidence as I have it from a very reliable source that Satan has been dealt with for a few generations at least.

A mermaid that I have known for ages was talking to her cousin the unicorn & he related a story from a cute little reindeer he runs with.

Apparently since Satan has made so many people bad for so long Santas coal bill is through the roof.
Now back in the day this wasn't a problem but now with China buying up all the coal they can get, Santa's in a bind.
His bill is so bad he can't afford nog for the elves & there have been rumors of a general strike.
So he offered the Christmas chocolate concession to the Easter Bunny if he could work some magic.

Now Bunny being the crafty trickster that he is came up with a plan.
Satan is all about the pleasures of the flesh so he's a sucker for chocolate, Bunny let it slip to a lower demon where he had a generations worth of the brown gold stashed in a cave.
Satan being the greedy (blank blank) that he is went after it with all his minions.
Well what Satan didn't know was Bunny had the stash charmed by this herb cooking leprechaun that has no equal when it comes to potions & such.

After Satan & his hoard gorged on the chocolate they passed out, then Santa with the help of all of Rudolph's offspring blocked that cave with a boulder so big God himself would have a hard time lifting it.

So long story short Satan is tied up awhile digging himself out of that cave so you humans can stop stressing about the End of Days for a few hundred years give or take.
It's a damn big rock.

It started in 1975 after the building of dams.

It's not sudden, it's not dramatic, it's gradual and man made reduction.

Mans effects are not the key. But then you won't listen, Ron Weinland didn't either but he still believes he's the end time prophet Elijah. Ha ha ha,

God, in the new testament, is Herod.
he was instilled as the king of the jews by rome. as both of their systems were an extension of egypt, that made Herod a pharaoh, who was considered a god/ king, hence Herod was called god.

He had sex with a 'virgin', supposedly by the name of Mary. Rome had many prostitutes, both male and female. they often played the part of a virgin, which, in Hebrew generally means young woman, the select of lot were refered to as vestal virgins.

Jesus was the favorite son born to her. Only son was the way of saying favorite son in the bible. Possibly James was his brother.

There is a Saviour in the New Testament. It's just not any of the above.

the virgin part of virgin birth doesn't necessarily mean she never had sex. it meant the baby she was pregnant with was conceived without human sex. the virgin birth means she was artificially inseminated. this has happened at other times in ancient history, and the offspring of said events, often went on to rule nations. these types of impregnations would commonly be referred to as nephilim, since the means of impregnation were not via a human male but via some other heavenly being (read extra-terrestrial or inter-dimensional being).

however, in the case of jesus, the god who created the human species, was the impregnator, but not via sex but rather via artificial insemination, which the texts describes as impregnation by the holy spirit.

saddam drained the swamp lands that the euphrates had created during its silt deposition for the last 6000 years.

the bottomless pit, also known as the abyss, is under that stretch of land that has been
drained, in other words, some section of the euphrates that has been dried up. the text (revelation 9) that refers to 4 angels being loosed from the euphrates, is referring to the opening of the bottomless pit/abyss, in that area. they are angels, not chinese people. they are bound/restricted from returning to earth because the bottomless pit/abyss has a door and its locked. the abyss i think is the abzu of enki, and it is a worm hole generating device, that can only be opened by someone who knows how. according to the text of revelation 9, the angel that knows how to open it, is going to return (from the sky) and open it.
this event triggers something that sounds like an alien invasion not a chinese invasion.

Thanks for your enlightening contribution. Obviously, by your exposition, the great thinkers (scholars, theologians, philosophers, etc.) of the last few centuries have had it all wrong!

Maybe you could publish this as part of a dissertation thesis.

You are certainly unaware that by your mocking you are only contributing to the premise that we are in fact living in the end times.

Good luck with that.

Well, we got what we got now. I doubt if we caused the drying up of that river, it could be possible that the water is being sucked out somewhere though by man's insatiable desire for money. This could be war if it is the case.

War will be fought over water, it has happened many times in the past. Whoever controls the water controls the reality that is tied to it.
