Thoughts?
Then there's the return of that 144,000 "virginal" men who are going to start preaching at us night and day for 7 years.
Or something like that. Depends on your theological orientation how some of this stuff gets interpreted.
Besides, the Druze think they are the 144,000, and they get reincarnated over and over and over ~ that nobody else gets a shot at being in that elect crowd.

For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
-Matt 24
False...false...false...the planet is the same exact size..nearly 24,000 miles around at the equator. Men are equally unchanged.
When the Stars and the sun fall from the sky and the food supplies are wiped out, we can all just go about our business as usual with everready flashlites and snicker candy bars.
WHat a putz this writer is.
Ops4 God BLess America!
This guy is just stupid. The 144,000 people will be the missionaries made up from the 12 tribes of Israel. It is not, I repeat, not the number of people that will be taken up in the Rapture. And apparently he hasn't really read the book of Revelation. Whatever interpretation you put on the imagery, there's going to be some heavy duty destruction going on. And that "peace and harmony" will soon turn to horror as the Anti-Christ reveals his true nature. Theologians like this we don't need.
What, they're gonna do that again (Isaiah 13:10)?
Is Dr. Creaston in any way related to Mr. Creosote?
Knowing the Word is not a strong suit, for this theosphist in robes. OPs4 God Bless America!
I don't know - I've never dined with the Doctor.
It's quite possible he's a Jehovah's Witness in disguise or heavily influenced by them. That thing with the 144,000 Jewish missionaries gives him away. That's what the JW's claim.
I'm sure it will be much worse for women and minorities. ;~))
More Chanukah humor!
Learn to dance the Apocalypso!
LOL! Like dancing to salsa music, only much hotter!
Praise the Lord and pass the hot sheets?
Let's see... supposing this guy was right about his numbers (& he isn't)... I can think of a lot of scenerios where 144,000 people missing from a given field would be chaotic. Wouldn't matter what end of the ladder you set the hypothesis... 144,000 garbage collectors or world leaders or pilots/copilots or drivers on a busy, busy roadway or mail delivery personel or truck drivers or phone repair folks... etc, etc, etc. Chaos. AND, there will come a person who will bring peace in the middle of this mess. Bet my bottom dollar by the end of that persons "peace", Alex will be singing a different tune.
Somehow, APOCALYPSE & won't be all that bad just don't seem to "fit"; no matter what your "theology".
There, again, this "expert" has obviously never even read the book of Revelation, else he would have seen in Rev: 21.1: "And I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away..."
Seems pretty clear, even to the casual observer.
