there is a war that is supposed to wipe out 1/3 of mankind. this war is NOT armageddon but is supposed to preceed armageddon. that's about roughly ~2 billion people that will die. obviously in some sort of nuclear exchange. this war is known as '6th Trumpet war'


after the relatively small disaster that was this recent earthquake+tsunami's that has killed roughly a quarter million people, and all the tension in the world. the crazy shit that has been happening since 9 || || i feel that the possibility of this war that kills a third of mankind, is pretty strong within the next 5-10 years or so. it would be horendous. not the end of the world, but a catastrophe that tops
9 | | and the tsunami disaster (two unreleated things, or are they?). and you know how things just get worse and worse......

thoughts?

And will be fought by more people than there are troops in the entire world?

I'll be out partying.

it wouldn't actually take many people to pull this off. it wouldn't have to be the size of the Gulf War I or even the smaller (but longer) Gulf War II. if it is a nuclear exchange.

What's this now?

 

[Manabanana]

Didn't we just have this talk? I suppose you pulled this from John Titor, too. Well, call it optimism, but I don't think it'll happen.

why? you're not saying anything.

 

[Ned Flanders]

What do I think about it?

 

[Hitokage]

Heh, I used to get worked up over bullshit in Revelations too, considering how mormonism uses a perpetual threat of imminent but not immediate doomsday to stir up the members... and the best part is that since no timeline is given, it can be used over and over again with any circumstances.

 

[doncale]

true heh.

still, there's nothing stopping something like a war that kills 1/3 of mankind from happening. the current Muslims vs the U.S. + China vs Tiawan + North Korea with Russia lurking in the shadows..... well who knows.

 

[Hitokage]

The bible also says that war will involve 200 million troops.

 

[Diffense]

It starts at Revelation chapter 8 and the text is highly symbolic. Not really any more literal than the wild beasts that are also described in Revelation. However, they represent something. Generally, it's the rest of the Bible that explains the visions Revelation. By that I mean that many of the metaphors used in Revelation are both used and explained in other parts of the Bible.

BTW, the major pre-Armageddon war mentioned in the Bible is between political and religious forces with the political prevailing.

Heck, China alone could provide all that if they worked at it.

Every generation for the last 2000 years has been proclaiming that the end times are near.

I'm seriously starting to think that I unkowingly started something terrible, what with all the "End of the world" themed threads of the past week.

My immediate thought is that you've taken the "biggest fucking moron" equivalent of the Tour de France's yellow jersey and started to pull away from the crowd at alarming rates.

my thoughts? your 1 key is broken. what else can explain the absolute lack of 1's in your post? Of course, that brings to question what exactly 9 11 11 is. Are you saying we're going to get attacked again on Sept. 11, 2011? OMG, he is John Titor.

 

[NLB2]

LOL at orignal poster. What can cause you to believe something like that which you wrote in your first post?

 

[LakeEarth]

What's all this conspiracy crap about the Tsunami? On average there is one >8 earthquake a year. The spot where the earthquake occured is on a faultline and has earthquakes almost yearly. Why the hell does everything have to be so complex?

Wait, weren't you the one who went on a bit of a spiel in a post about how there are so many idiots in the world a while ago? There's your answer

 

[Justin Bailey]

If the world's gonna end, it's gonna end on MY watch.

 

[snapty00]

I believe the end of the world will come when people aren't constantly talking about it ending. I suppose that could be tomorrow, but I doubt it.

Yes. Yes I did, glad someone noticed it as I rarely post anything beyond two lines.

I'm against it.

 

[Inumaru]

Guess that depends on which 1/3 dies. I've always sort of disliked stupid people, so they could go, but I think they make up for more than 1/3 of the world's population. Hmmm, this is a tough one.

It's a misinterpretation of Revelation by American evangelical protestants who believe in premillenial dispensationalist theology. Mainline Christian denominations reject this interpretation and realize that Revelation discusses first century events using the symbolism of apocalyptic literature. Revelation does not predict or refer to specific events that will happen or have happened in the 20th and 21st century.

Dispensationalist theology is a relatively new concept. The idea behind it is that God's dealings with humankind can be divided into specific periods of history, or dispensations. This is in contrast to the more traditional covenantal theology of mainline denominations. Dispensationalism is believed to have been invented by John Nelson Darby in 1830, an Anglican priest. The idea never caught on in Europe, but in America dispensationalism was popularized by the Scofield Reference Bible.

 

[Hitokage]

pwn3d: Interesting. Dispensationalism is absolutely fundamental to mormonism and that originated in the 1830s as well.

I think it's just the opposite 1/3 of the world's population if you are lucky are the smart ones. More than likely they'll be wiped out with some WMI bomb (weapon of mass ignorance). Sorry the future isn't looking to bright for smart people.

 

[Dice]

Yep, all those interpretations are fairly new. They are constantly changing and contradicting themselves, which may well result in their end soon (see book: "House Divided: The Break Up of Dispensational Theology"). Amill/postmill interpretations are the only ones that seem to make sense to me, though it is a very complicated subject.

 

[pwn3d]

Hi Hitokage, I don't know a lot about mormon theology but I have noticed parallels between the mormon church and fundamentalist protestant churches, so it wouldn't surprise me if they incorporated dispensationalism as well. Gonna do some research on that one.

Dice: I should add that some forms of premillennialism have popped up in the past - I think it was fairly prevalent in the early church. The Catholic church I think proclaimed it heresy in the third or 4th century. I believe that most older denominations are amillennialist/preterist, though.

I have no doubt that GWAR will fly on in on the Crackbat and either save or enslave all humanity.

Historical premillenialism is much different than the modern dispensationalist forms.

Mormonism in some aspects is a highly watered down doomsday cult. It specifically refers to itself and its members as "the last dispensation", "last days" and "latter days" are ubiquitous in mormon writing and without exception a reference to the present(it's even in the official name), and mormons not only believe it is THEIR job to preach to every last bit of the earth before the "sometime soon" second coming of Christ, but it will be THEM who will build the New Jerusalem... and the spot has already been picked. The order just hasn't been made yet.

I'm not worried. I've seen this cartoon, so I know that Rick Hunter will save us all.
