Isn't the message intended to strike terror and fear into the hearts of non-believers, so they scurry like rats on a sinking ship looking for the only life-boat in the water: christianity?
Isn't an act of terrorism illegal?

whoever wrote the bible were some darned good authors. they used social, psychological and behavioral precursors to keep people believing in nonsense for all these years. floods, fires, famine and a plethora of other disasters have been going on for hundreds of years. yet, people somehow want to believe that they are biblically connected.

Warning the people of the end of the wicked system of things is not sowing terror that they would run for their lives, hide and go panicky. It is just like calling their attention to change their lives to do good or to continue being bad. Terrorism is exacting violence on the innocents and putting fear in their hearts, minds and lives. Terrorism is not giving anyone a choice.

Wow. Hard to decipher that. You are right on both counts. "Fear ye the LORD.", because you disbelieve in him at your peril. But that is only as a last resort. You may believe in Him with impunity, and he will take your sins onto himself. He is really the humblest, most gentle spirit in the universe or beyond because he judges no man (St. John 5.22), and his mercy endures forever. When Jesus approached the boat walking on the water he said, "Do not be afraid. It is I." It is just me; the one who loves everyone as himself.
Nothing is illegal for God. He kills and makes alive whomsoever he will.
God bless you.

Sadly, some people do take things to the extreme. However, there will be a time when the World will end and everyone will have to believe in some type afterlife, no matter what it is. My choice is to believe In Christ. Your choice is your own business and no concern of mine. All I can do is tell you how wonderful He is to me, and let you decide what you think and believe. It is all about choice, but, in order to choose, you have to have selections. My selection is Christ. Have a Super day.

If a person is standing in the middle of the highway & you see a semi-truck coming will you call out to the person "GET OUT OF THE WAY, YOU WILL BE KILLED" is that then also terror. Because you have just put fear in that person. Come on Now.

Terrorism is "not bad" in of itself, it all depends on whether "acts of terrorism" are CONDUCTED by the good guys or the bad guys, meaning "terrorism" can be used IN THE NAME OF DEFENSE(ex- saving children from a rapist) Or it can be used as violence(ex- randomly shooting people who may or may not have had anything to do with the CRIME for some estranged vendetta, like the school shootings we see referenced in the media)
As far as "christianity" and their claims, well I guess it all depends on what church you go to...
What about NOAH? Was noah a "terrorist" for TRYING to WARN PEOPLE? I mean they do not have to believe him if they do not wish to but then they get FLOODED OUT, what about the NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE? ~ if they issue a warning to people on the GULF COAST to get out because high water is coming, are they "terrorists" according to your argument? I mean the people do not have to believe the warning and they may or may not make it thru ok, you know....
What about JAMES COLE(bruce willis) in the movie 12 monkeys?

Are you running for the lifeboat? Then it is not working. To say the end is near is not terrorism, it is a plea for you to join us. Terrorism is like standing in a crowded store and yelling fire.

If i saw you were about to step on a poisonous snake and yelled STOP you are about to die, would that be an act of terrorism? I think not. You may want to die, you may want to spend eternity in hell, or you may just not know better. Christianity is an effort to help you avoid eternity in hell. Whether you accept it or not is your choice. But you were warned.

Make no mistake everyone. It is not a threat, but a promise from God Himself. Just pick up a bible.
The fact that we care enough about you to reach out to you makes us christians. It is our task as christians to reach out to those who are yet unsaved. But it is your choice to decide which path you'll walk.
My advice: Research both pathways well prior to choosing your fate.
