OT: is the end near???

[Howstupidmrbates]

Ok, I'm not typically a doomsayer, but as the MAN would say - strange things happen. I've lived in So Cali my entire life, but it seems in just the past few years, our desert oasis has changed drastically. As recently as 10 years ago, the weather patterns we experience now would've been unheard of: a week of sun, 3 days of rain. Terrible winds, fire storms, the always present threat of "the big one." And the Mayan calendar ending on 12/12/12 isn't helping! lol

I guess I'll REALLY start to worry if people start vanishing all around me in Rapture.

I'll be pissed if everyone disappears and I stay!!! That'll suck. lol

WE ARE THE PROBLEM!!!!!!

get a bike

As one of my heroes would say, if we're nearing the end,

"I'll see you in the next life,
Wake me up for meals."

I did it my way <grin>

I reported many months back what was to happen and I got blasted for it...but since you ask...here you go

We as Christians need to reach out to the lost and hurting like never before...time is late.

God had called me to the office of a Prophet:

And I shall share with you now what The Lord spoke to me October 31, 2008

THIS MESSAGE IS A TIMELY MESSAGE AND NEEDS TO BE HEARD...FOR THOSE WHO HAVE EARS TO HEAR LET THEM HEAR!

Your prayer closet is where victory is won. It is humbling yourself before me, so I can work freely in your life. To obey is better than sacrifice; many people have obeyed me even unto death.

This people your generation, like too have everything so luster they are a proud haughty people who will not give up the cares of this world even unto death and they have been taught deception in the pulpits, in the school systems, and in the social arenas.

Why won't my people repent of wickedness? I have reasoned with you time and time again, but you say you know me and are now at peace, but I say foolish nation in one hour you will burn because you have forsaken your true love and believed the lie of the serpent. It is I who delivers, not the pastor's; salvation only comes through ME and ME alone.

Nation you have made yourself a name. Let us see in your hours of tribulation, if your mighty men of valor can deliver you? Have I not giving your the pure living water, but you corrupt it with your man made ideologies thinking they know more than me? Have I not given you everything you need My Spirit, My Word, and My Son, but you still turn away thinking I can not teach you?

Quit listening to lies and deception, why oh Church do you abandoned My Truth and listen to a man made gospel? I told you whoever adds to My Prophecy, I will add the plagues found therein. My riders are riding already. Be wise and redeem the time while you still can find me. A day is coming very soon, where I shall not be found. And I shall only reside in My Righteous people. Are you one?

Are you allowing me to lead you into all Truth, or are you like the foolish man who built his house on the sand and when tribulation came he fell flat on the ground and did not rise.
Will you be like one planted in My Living Waters and when persecution came he weathered the storm?

Only these who seek My Face day and night and have developed a relationship with Me, only these shall I spare from the impending judgments; lock your doors, seal up your windows, and get into your closet and seek me with your whole heart now!! Do not wait any longer ...the time is at hand...be ready and watchful looking at the sign, for they are all around you.

Seek ME with your whole heart and cast all your cares upon ME for I truly care for thee!!

Give up the world and gain My Protection in the days of trouble...Saith THE LORD!!!

Signs to look for which are already happening:

Stock Market...a brief resurgence than complete collapse.

Price of Wheat...

Famine....

Droughts...

Earthquakes...

Floods...

Wars...sounds like Matthew 24

This is not the end Bates...we are in "The Birthpangs" America...will become a third world country...watch it happen before your eyes...than mock me.

Oil will be found North of Russia, Israel will also discover Oil....and Palestine will get a state.

An earthquake will divide the US in half....these are things to be watching for.

And these things have not happened yet but when they do...don't say I did not warn you...because these things are coming sooner than later.

Mark my words you have been warned.

Only mentioned this because someone other than me brought it up.

[dontboxmein]

One more thing that I also mentioned a year ago and was mocked...that's okay I do not hold it against any of you.

You should do this soon!!!

Buy dry goods
Have a way to have fresh water
Plant a garden

Gold and Silver are not going to be worth more than food.

I am not worried at all ...I know God will provide for me....did I do what HE said to do absolutely.

I have everything in place for my family...you should do likewise...time is of the essence.

God bless you all...D

end of the world prophecies have been big business since, erm, the world began....

Bernard of Thuringia (992) - Calculated that the end would come in 992. Bishop Gregory of Tours (799) - Calculated the End between 799 and 806.

There are many stories of apocalyptic paranoia around the year 1000. For example, legend has it that a "panic terror" gripped Europe in the years and months before this date.

Nostradamus (1503-1566) - "In the year 1999, and seven months, from the sky will come the great King of Terror"

1914, 1918, 1920, 1925, 1941, 1975 and 1994 were dates that the Jehovah's Witnesses "Watchtower Bible and Tract" Society predicted for the endo the world. 1975 looked likely as it was worked out
(whatever that means) to be the 6000th anniversary of the creation of Adam in the Garden of Eden in 4026 BCE.

1970's: The late Moses David (formerly David Berg) was the founder of the Christian religious group, The Children of God. He predicted that a comet would hit the earth, probably in the mid 1970's and destroy all life in the United States.

1986: Moses David of The Children of God faith group predicted that the Battle of Armageddon would take place in 1986. Russia would defeat Israel and the United States. A worldwide Communist dictatorship would be established. In 1993, Christ would return to earth.

The july 1997 issue of the Weekly World News carried a statement by a spokesperson of the International Association of Psychics. 92% of their 120,000 members have had the same "end time" vision. with epredictions like:
* A rise in religious belief. Prophets and saints will appear and lead the faithful to safety
* The oceans will shrink. Deserts expand. Crops will fail; there will be massive starvation
* Widespread emotional and mental collapse; increase in crime and violence
* Changing weather patterns; basic laws of nature will be disrupted
Satanic demons will appear in broad daylight. War, pestilence, a worldwide plague
* Mankind will disappear around the year 2001 CE.

in short, to answer the original question, IMHO; any-end-of-the-world-repent-now-the-end-is-nigh-i-am-your-prophet sloganeering is abo-fucking-lutely rissible and NOT TRUE.

Matthew 23:34 says, " This generation will not pass away until all these things take place,"
IF (BIG IF) you believe a word of that bunch of disperate re-interpretations and translations mangled by every powerful 'ruler' since the monks spent their lives copying out scriptures used to control the populace and keep the status quo... then the second coming already happened in ad70 and no-one noticed... fancy using fear to keep the popluation under control....

POETS PRIESTS AND POLITICIANS,
HAVE WORDS TO THANK FOR THEIR POSITIONS,
WORDS THAT SCREAM FOR YOUR SUBMISSION, 'COS NO-ONE'S JAMMIN' THEIR TRANSMISSION.....altogether now....


DE DO DO DO, DE DA DA DA..........
