Apocalypse When?

[Jack the Ripper]

According to the (supposed) recently discovered bible code, the following will happen at the following dates:

*In 2006 there will be a nuclear holocaust involving many of the world's top leaders (who i will not mention outta respect)
*In 2010 there will be a massive earthquake in LA (although this wont really end the world)
*In 2012 a comet/asteroid will strike the earth, and to end all suffering god will end life.

I found it interesting that 2012 is the very same date the mayan calander ends and the date the aztecs say the world will end. Unfortunately for me this will be the year after i graduate college as well. Eerie coincidence?

Comments welcome.

I'll see you in 2013

There are no such things as coincidences in this world. There is only necessity and the inevitable.

I'll bet you 50 gold we'll all be alive in 2013!

 

[HamaticBabylon]

I hope life ends in 2050 A.D and America wins via Conquest!

 

[Yuri2356]

Ya ya, and according to Nostradamus we were hit by a Comet in 2000 and are already dead.
I wouldn't make any plans based on the co-incidence of a few ancient doomsday predictions.

 

[Taliesin]

... and even if we're not, somebody will be around to hit the "Lemme play just a couple more turns" button.

 

[Fetus4188]

I thought the world was suppose to end with the lunar eclipse and Red Sox victory, what a let down that was

 

[Mauer]

Who in the world "discovered" this code. Probably some sort of kabalaist or other mystic type. Wasn't it Jehovah's witnesses that predicted the end of the earth in 1988? I might be wrong.

 

[cgannon64]

Whoa. The Bible predicted not only the Apocalypse, but the invention of nuclear weapons? And Los Angeles?

 

[Fetus4188]

Does that book have anything on the outcome of certain sporting events by any chance...

Why waste your time on a 'code' when you can read the Bible itself?

Regarding the time of the end:
Matthew 24:36 "But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone."

But Jesus gave a composite sign to his disciples to help them and others recognize the time of the end. An excerpt:
Matthew 24:6-14 "You will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not frightened, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end.
"For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes.
"But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs.
"Then they will deliver you to tribulation, and will kill you, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name.
"At that time many will fall away and will betray one another and hate one another.
"Many false prophets will arise and will mislead many.
"Because lawlessness is increased, most people's love will grow cold.
"But the one who endures to the end, he will be saved.
"This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.

The apocalypse, or Armaggedon, will not be a human war or nuclear holocaust. It is God's war to end wickedness. God does the fighting using His Son and angels:
Revelation 19: 11-16 "And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and He who sat on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and wages war.
"His eyes are a flame of fire, and on His head are many diadems; and He has a name written on Him which no one knows except Himself.
"He is clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God.
"And the armies which are in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, were following Him on white horses.
"From His mouth comes a sharp sword, so that with it He may strike down the nations, and He will rule them with a rod of iron; and He treads the wine press of the fierce wrath of God, the Almighty.
"And on His robe and on His thigh He has a name written, "KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS."

Hah, codes

That council that compiled the Bible really knew what they were doing, I guess.

God better hope he doesn't run into any stray Spearmen!

Hah, codes

Oh man, God really knows how to kick some ass doesn't he

The bible code has been debunked. In fact, the same technique has been used (IIRC) to show that hidden text in Moby Dick gave pre-warning about the kennedy assassination.

Edit: See here and here

 

[Margim]

All I can say is that...

Rev 22:18 I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book.

People making up such theories better be right for their own sakes!!

And this means what? That the end won't come?

 

[Shadylookin]

who would be afraid of the apocalypse? I mean we killed the son of god with 2 boards and a few nails the last time, surely the second coming can be thwarted easily with a few ak-47s and anti-aircraft mowing down the angelic hosts I can't wait to change the plege to "one nation, over god". Apocalypse NOW I say.
