Sir, you are correct. Yes, there is ongoing seismic activity due to the rumblings of Al Gore, "the shaman of global gloom and doom."

In the past couple days the small animals in my yard, rabbits, squirrels, and voles have been exhibiting changed behavior. The rabbits have been hiding, the squirrels have been silent and the voles have been running top speed everywhere. Top speed is a surprisingly quick 8 mph for those, and they don’t usually come out into the open.

I cannot wait to hear the convoluted “logic” that the left is going to use to connect these latest quakes to “global warming”. Mark my words, they are working on it right now.
He said all these are the beginnings of sorrows...
Japan, Peru, now this.
True, I forgot about the volcano. Do you think Bush has anything to do with this?
Yes, followed by many more sorrows discussed in the same passage, about *all* of which he said, "I tell you the truth, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened."
I don't see how any of it relates to current events today.
the stuff He predicted is happening all around us. check Revelation also.
On the contrary, Algore things anthropogenic global warming is far more dangerous than earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. This is one of many reasons why he is a tool.
People have been projecting Matthew 24 and Revelation onto their surroundings for centuries. To think that it's referring to our times is pure vanity (check out the Carly Simon song). Any resemblance of Christ's words in Matthew 24 to current events are purely coincidental; you conveniently ignore the fact that he explicitly stated that the events he predicted were to occur during that generation.
As for Revelation, it - like the rest of the New Testament - were written with their contemporaries as the primary audience, and were warning about the destruction of Jerusalem and the end of Biblical Judaism (the temple sacrifice system). Any attempted application of any of it to our time period is just narcissism.
Makes the 3.5 we just had here in Chatsworth, CA pale in comparison!
I grew up in Chatsworth.. now in Reseda :)
your response is at your own peril.
i know where my money’s at...
And yours doesn't make much sense; I don't really follow what you're trying to say.
Do you deny that Christ said that "all [those] things" would happen in that generation? What justification is there for applying that passage to our time? And why should I take your word for it when people have been doing the same thing (applying it to their times) for nearly 2,000 years? What makes you smarter than anyone else who has lived since then?
Beyond all that, how does my response put me in "peril"?
never claimed smarter than anyone else; just applying the Bible.
i don’t get the narcissism bit.
as revealed to John in Revelation, these are the things that were, and are, and are to come. Matthew 24 matches very closely to Revelation, and now even to your local newspaper.
His time is not our time; He created it and therefore defined it. our minds can’t comprehend that (II Peter 3:8)
not for me to say, but your response per se didn’t put you in peril, but denying, ignoring, or willfully and directly violating His word puts anybody in peril - you or me.
everybody knows that.
That's what people have been saying for 2,000 years: "Matthew 24 and Revelation are about me and my times, and Jesus is coming back in my lifetime." They were all wrong, as Jesus did *not* come back in their lifetimes. Why do you think you're right when they were wrong? They had all the same signs, or at least they thought they did.
i don’t get the narcissism bit.
You think Revelation is about you. It's not.
as revealed to John in Revelation, these are the things that were, and are, and are to come.
Yes, but the time references are to the time it was written, not our time.
Matthew 24 matches very closely to Revelation, and now even to your local newspaper.
As for the resemblance to current events - people have been saying that for centuries. Everyone thinks the events around them match up with Biblical prophecy and that it means that Christ is coming back momentarily, and people have thought that for hundreds of years. They've all been wrong; so are you. Hal Lindsey predicted it would happen before 1988, and said we should consider him a "bum" if it didn't happen by then. So did he go away? No, he's still making predictions.
I agree that Matthew 24 matches closely to Revelation; they're describing essentially the same events, which Christ said were to happen before that generation passed away.
His time is not our time; He created it and therefore defined it. our minds can’t comprehend that (II Peter 3:8)
The purpose of that passage was *not* to deny the truth of Christ's statement that "all these things" would happen during that generation.
not for me to say, but your response per se didn’t put you in peril, but denying, ignoring, or willfully and directly violating His word puts anybody in peril - you or me.
I agree. I am not denying, ignoring, or (as far as I can tell) violating His Word; I regard scripture as inspired and inerrant. I just don't think that Matthew 24, Revelation, or Daniel is about our time period.
so no end-times prophecy in the Bible?
or just not those?
The end times are (were) not what many think.
