To ALL you NOT Believers?

Question

If proof of Gods existence is what you seek then read the Book of Revelation, and then keep an eye on the War that is taking place now, Revelation speaks of this same War, it tells us that the Countrie that will win, will rebiuled the Temple and then a man will go in there and claim to be God, that is the false prophet he will prepaire the way for the real antichist....but in Revelation the countrie that it speaks of is Perue but over the years the name has changed to Irak....If you dont see what Im saying now, becuz all this is going to take many years to fully open...just keep in mind what I said

Answer 1

I read the bible. Not proof. Next.

Answer 2

Don't hold your breath "martini" waiting for this to happen. You might die of asphyxiation, but since you were holding your own breath it would be suicide.

According to certain religions suicides do not get into heaven. =)

But anyways, you are not the first to mention something like the end of the world. A few centuries ago people thought that Hailey's comet signaled the end of the world.

Martini, if you truly believe in God and if you truly believe you are a decent person, then why don't you pray to God to end all of the suffering in the world? If God does what a loving god should do and does put an end to the suffering, then you're going to see an outpouring of love and support for him unlike anything ever seen or written.

Sadly though this will not happen. People have prayed for heavenly intervention before with no result. Sure there are some who claim different but they have no real scientific proof to back themselves up.

In summation, pay attention in english class. Learn to spell. You'll find that you have a much easier time browbeating to the atheists if you can do so in an intelligent fashion.

Answer 3

Jesus belonged to a Jewish sect of Apocalypticists
who believed the end of the world was imminent.
God was about to beam down an emissary who would
overthrow the forces of evil and create a
Utopian-like existence free of pain and suffering
here on Earth. "Jesus told his disciples that his
own generation would not pass away before these
things take place. 'Some of you standing here
today won't taste death before you see the
Kingdom of God has come to power.'"

A necessary step in this pending revolution would
be the resurrection of the dead and the
restoration of ultimate justice. The
Apocalypticists couldn't bear the thought that
evil doers would often live long, happy lives and
die rich and contented. Therefore a key part of
their theory was that God would raise the dead
and punish RETROACTIVELY those who had inflicted
pain and suffering on others. By the same token,
God would make sure those now dead who had lead a
good life would be brought back and be given
their just reward. (Of course those currently
alive during the End Times would also be rewarded
and punished according to their deserts.)

Just imagine the ecstatic joy the disciples must
have felt when they heard that Jesus had been
raised from the dead. Hallelujah! This confirmed
their belief that the End Times had arrived.
"That's why the apostle Paul talked about Jesus
as the 'first fruits of the resurrection.' It's
an agricultural image. When you go out and start
harvesting your crops, you have a party that
night to celebrate the in-bringing of the first
fruits. And then you go out and get the rest of
the crops the next day. Paul thought the next
day was coming very soon and that Jesus was the
first, and that others were going to follow
suit. And so the resurrection of Jesus for the
earliest Christians confirmed the idea that
their Apocalyptic views were absolutely right
and God would soon intervene in history."

"THE PROBLEM OF COURSE IS THAT IT DIDN'T
HAPPEN. THE END NEVER CAME." Somehow this
"problem" -- that the beliefs and
predictions of Jesus and the disciples were
wrong -- didn't prove a hindrance to the
spread of Christianity.

Answer 4

Dear Soothesayer,

No. For so many reasons. But lets just go with the fact that the war isn't between two Countries and therefore no country will win.

Plus (even when I was a believer) Revelation strikes me as the least reliable book of the bible, what with the crazy imagery, the timing of its writing, and its disconnect from the actual journeys and teachings of Jesus.

Answer 5

The Bible was written many years ago by PEOPLE who were inspired by the events taking place around them. A war is a war and pretty much follows the same pattern. The Bible is full of symbology and metaphor. You can't look to these things as proof of God's existence because so many other historical events can fit the mold. If you want to see proof of the existence of a higher power look at the good things in the world that we happen to be destroying with our one sided self interest and war mongering. Don't use your fundamental scare tactics to make people feel guilty for not believing in a strictly molded paper cutout of God who was designed by those who were trying to cater to their own self interests so many years in the past. And by the way, the people you are referring to are non-believers.

Answer 6

Learn how to spell. I'm sure it is all very coincidental what the Book of Revelation is saying about this war right now. It even has the countries name wrong. Things like that, and things like horoscopes are so open to interpretation that they can pretty much be applied everywhere.

Answer 7

I wouldn't go so far as to say that this is the war Revelation speaks about. Don't get caught up in movement of trying to pin point the end times...as you very well know, Christ has said no one except his father knows when he will return...although I do agree...there are some startling simularities...but try not to use this as your way to show people Christs love.

Answer 8

Sorry, this argument is full of holes. How can an UNbeliever find proof of God's existence in the nightmarish ramblings of a hermit??? I am a wicca, and believe in gods, but I wasn't looking for proof. I was looking for beauty and a connection to all the universe. Neither of those things is particularly prevalent in Revelations.

Answer 9

umm...this is nothing new...people have been seeing the events of Revelation "come true" for the past 1900 or so years since it was written. Oh, and the symbolism of the harlot is almost certainly referring to ancient Rome anyway, and its fall happened a long time ago, yet still no second coming.

Answer 10

You are one of a LONG list of people who have said the same thing MANY times through out human history. What makes you think you are right this time?

Answer 11

The guy who wrote the book of revelation was smoking something really, really, weird. But, by the way, it was referring to stuff that took place a long time ago. All that stuff about 6s? Nero.
