While we're on the "end times" subject. Have you ever considered how many generations of people have been telling each other that the end will be in their lifetimes, that "the end is nigh". Worse yet, all of those who converted because of this, not that they'd know it (being dead and all), but they got had hard didn't they?
Guess what, "the end is hear" has a double meaning, not only does it mean that God's will is going to be accomplished on earth as it is in heaven, but that a man's life can end at any time, since man is unaware of when he will die it is always near.
The end will not come until the prophecies are all accomplished, Jesus isn't going to pop in out of nowhere, he's already given us a timeframe and the events that will occur, wrapped up in biblical symbolism and literal language. You could decipher it yourself but that would require you to read the bible.
Min: I could learn: Greek, Hebrew & aramaic, but I'm not in seminary. I know plenty of people who do know these languages actually a professor at my college helped interpret the new living translation, Haha...I'm so proud!

Deciphering some imagined "bible code" requires a bit more than reading the bible darling.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Wow. I didn't think you'd be interested. Where are you El Dinero? Maybe you mentioned it in the off topic threads, sorry if I missed it.

Oh, goodness. Is whatever an acceptable response in conversation again? If so, I would like to be put in a freezer until it is over.
