Tornado outbreak in Kansas!
Oh BTW, are you going to watch "Super Volcano" tonight on the Discovery Channel? It starts at 8:00 Eastern.
Blah blah blah. QUIT HIJACKING THE THREAD WITH YOUR NUTTY RELIGIOUS PROPHESIES.
If you like end-time predictions so much, go join one of the many existing threads on this subject.
Did you not also check out the tornado outbreak in Kansas?
Yep, I posted the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory FAQ on the "Supervolcano" documentary earlier today.
You mean the one that happens every springtime?
If you don't want posters to respond to you, then don't reply to them. Posting on the web doesn't hijack anything. CM's reply was truthful. BTW, your past posts were mistaken in asserting the Rapture is going to be preannounced so you have time to stop worldly affairs and then turn to a winner. The only preannouncement any of us will get was provided 2000 years ago. When it happens it occurs in a twinkling of an eye. No second chances. But don't take CM or my word for it,..read about it Scripture,...you've got the power, baby....good luck!
Matthew 24:7
7. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.
Clearly, unusual, unheard of events like tornadoes in Kansas, Tiger Woods playing well at the Masters, etc. are signs of the End Times.
There has been an ongoing question among prophecy scholars about the relevance of recent earthquake activity, but this recent great quake (measuring 9.0 magnitude) in the Indian Ocean, and the ensuing tsunamis, is too great to ignore. It caused unimaginable death figures from eleven nations in Asia and Africa.
Some are calling it the greatest known natural disaster. The death toll had passed 140,000 by the end of the year and is still climbing. There is no reason to relate this catastrophe to the fulfillment of a particular prophecy or to see it as an act of judgment, but it does at least call attention to the fact that Jesus said there would be great earthquakes in these last days.
According to Revelation 6:14; 16:18-20, a very great earthquake will occur as part of the Battle of Armageddon at the end of the Tribulation period. During this earthquake every mountain will be shaken down and every island will sink.
1) There have been wars throughout the entire 6,000+ year history of human civilization. Interestingly, a variety of organizations tracking warfare have found that the last few years have been among the most peaceful worldwide in recent memory. There are no large-scale organized country-against-country wars going on anywhere in the world at the moment, which has been shockingly rare in human history.
2) There have been earthquakes continuously in the entire 4 billion year history of this planet. It's a meaningless prediction (Actually, I suspect it's a bit of a joke played on the gullible, a reinforcement of the idea that the End cannot be predicted.)
The most peaceful?
I don't think the most recent years have been the most peaceful at all.
"Prophecy Scholar" is an oxymoron.
My question is why "Prophecy Scholars" weren't making a big deal from 1964 to 2004 of the amazing 40 year long absence of earthquakes above 8.5 and citing it as evidence that the End Times were NOT near?
Then you're spectacularly unaware of the history of warfare on this planet.
You also need to understand the difference between the publicity given to violence and the actual amount of violence occuring.
I agree. The end times will be a succession of World Wars from which mankind will never recover. Man will become the proverbial overcrowded mouse cage: Man will rend the civilization he has created into unrecognizable fragments. Christ also said that we will now the end is near (simply by the severity).
Now is not the time, I think.
Yeah, NEIC had it at 6.0 but the epicenter was in fact inland.
I wish everyone could have the opportunity to view a few 2D or 3D seismic lines that have been shot over the years by the oil companies in search of underground traps that might contain hydrocarbons.
Multiple fault lines are visible in every one of them. Nearly all are currently inactive, but given the throw on some of them, this earth has been rockin' and rollin' since the start.
Texas isn't thought of as earthquake country. Rightfully so at the moment. The seismic lines I'd be happy to show anyone show fault displacements that would make the Indonesian earthquakes look like mere shivers.
