I've never really posted anything in here before but... I'm a little... unsettled.

[QUOTE]Originally posted by Omega: [QB] Andrew, there's a book you'll want to read. It's called "Are We Living in the End Times?" by LaHaye and Jenkins. Same two who wrote the "Left Behind" series. It's quite enlightening about end-time prophecy. Hoof-and-mouth probably isn't one of the plagues from Revelation. 'Least, not in the porportions it affects the world now. I suppose it might eventually become one, though, but believe me, before you start thinking about plagues, you've got WAY more things to worry about: Antichrist, false uber-religion, nuclear war, famine, giant earthquakes... See, all these things don't just HAPPEN. There's a specific sequence of events. You'll see the greatest calamities coming, if you read the Book. Assuming you stick around for it, of course. There really is good reason to think that the majority of end-time prophecy will soon come to pass. Some prophecies have come true in this century. A war that would start between two kings, and grow to encompass all nations, for example: sound like World War I? Heck, Isreal didn't even exist as a country until '47, and that's required for Revelation to come to pass. BTW, think about this: what are the odds of the Jewish people still existing nineteen centuries after being driven out of their homeland? For the second time, no less? And yet STILL managing to defeat all odds and return from whence they came? Heck, we wouldn't even know the Hittites existed if it wasn't for the Bible and a 19th century archaeologist, and they were more powerful than Isreal. Why should the Jews still exist, after so many persecutions and attempted exterminations? And doesn't it seem more than a little coincidental that their continuing to exist and live in Isreal is required by prophecy? Just... think about it. Look for the rebuilding of the temple, and a failed attempt to invade Isreal by Russia assisted by Arab countries (not necessarily in that order). They're two of the last signs before I won't be around to tell you more. All you guys, do me a favor, huh? If me, JR, Liz, and a couple hundred million people mysteriously vanish one day, get your hands on the Bible and read Revelation. I mean that. As for the world ending, it's a funny thing: it doesn't. It's changed incredibly, but it doesn't cease to exist, as such. As I read Revelation, we don't actually go to Heaven for eternity: we live on the "new earth". 'Course, we go to Heaven for a while after we die, but then we come back in the Second Coming with Christ, and from what I can tell, we stay here. [/QB][/QUOTE]
