Default Apocalypse now. - 11-07-2001, 01:55 AM

People, since the first days, some people have been saying that these are the last days.

They have been interpreting parts of the bible like Daniel and Revelation.

I'm a christian, and i would not mind going to heaven just now but i'm a bit confused.And i have read the books mentioned above but i'm still bila idea.

These signs of the end times have been there since the early days. There have been wars and rumours of wars, only that the weopons have been getting worse and worse.

Does anybody out there have a CLEAR explanation of what the end will be like? Or should we just anticipate it the way we anticipate thieves at night.

If i were you, i would quit trying to catch up with the theologians idea of when, what, where and how!!! My advise to you is this, go buy the book entitled "Beginners guide to revelation;A jungian interpretation" by Robin Robertson. Hopefully this will open your mind to look at events from a different perspective. Frankly i am sick of all those preachers who spend every waking hour preaching hellfire and brimstone and making every living soul in church feel they have no right to even take one more breath of oxygen on this earth!! (arent you?)Except of course if you are saved then you will automatically make it to heaven without so much as a by-your-leave to all we other fools who have tried living our lives to the best of our ability! I can assure you, reading the book of revelation from a psychological point of view makes more sense than all that hoopla of the "antichrist". I hope you buy it, i did, and finally in more ways than one, i am at peace.

The last days only occur in your mind. If you want you can live on last days phenomena, until your actual last day in this world arrives.

Bible is an all time book and any time can be the "last days."

The year 1000 people were waiting for Christ to come. During the first world war, warld war II, Gulf war, and even in ethnic clashes in Kenya, preachers could argue that those were the last days citing, wars, incurable diseases, and all other stuff found in the book of Revelation.

But the world is still with us. Now because of "War on terrorism" or "Terrorising war," you can argue the same, and it will sound logical.

Wait when this is over and preachers will get something else to argue around.

They just die and leave behind the concept of "last days."

Have you chosen to live with this phenomenon of the last days? If so, well and good for you.

Default IT DOES NOT MATTER - 11-07-2001, 07:52 PM

Whether these are the last days or not is of no consequence to anybody. From what I've heard Christians have been saying "these are the last days" for about 2000 years now. But we are still here. Wars have been fought for millennia but we are still here.

If you are living right according to your Christian ways why should you worry whether the world ends today or the year 5000. I thought you Christians were heaven-bound and were not too concerned about "worldly" things e.g. the WORLD.

As for non-believers like myself, the last day of your life is the day you die. Once you are dead you are DEAD, and it does not matter whether the world goes on for another million years or not.

Last days? sounds to me like the religion of fear that a lot of these preachers spread to countless souls innocently looking for a meaning or reason for their existance on earth. don't buy it, you can't live your life in fear.

I cannot copy and paste all, but i urge you to visit this website or read the book "National Sunday Law by Jan Marcussen" if you really want to know the signs of end times. it will be a little scary to you but the truth must be told.
the site is ; www.biblerevelations.org/sundaylaw/

the apocalypse described in Daniel and Revelation is true and it will surely happen. Believe it or not!!!!
