Boy were they wrong. It's funny how superstition can influence our lives. It's also funny how some people explain certain events. Most of the time they just laugh all the way to the bank.

They're making a movie about that.

It will be amped-up and will scare a few people - then it will SUCK as a movie. Can't wait!



George W. Bush didn't end civilization in those 8 years, so I think we are pretty safe for now. He was the best bet for Armageddon.

Yeah, he was too stupid to end modern civilization.

Biblical cyclic judgements:

Dawning of Adam and Eve ending with Noahs flood. (Second earth age)
Pre Maccabean judgement on Israel and surrounding nations.
The Death and ressurection of Jesus Christ, decending of the holy spirit to earth (third earth age, the age of grace and increase in knowledge and science.)
The Tribulation ending with the millineal reighn of Christ (fourth earth age)
The decending of Yeweh and the new Jerusalem. (fith and final earth age)

The civilations may die in these judgements example a lot of the old testament empires collapsed such as Babalon in the Pre-Macabean judment.
The earth changes and a lot of peolple are destroyed in these judments but millions yet survive to live in a world that has been altered physically by God to accomadate a new age.

From a Biblical stand point, there yet remains a final judgement where the wicked will be permanently wiped from the planet.


"For, according to their wish, this fact escapes their notice, that there were heavens from of old and an earth standing compactly out of water and in the midst of water by the word of God; 6 and by those [means] the world of that time suffered destruction when it was deluged with water. 7 But by the same word the heavens and the earth that are now are stored up for fire and are being reserved to the day of judgment and of destruction of the ungodly men.

2 Pet:5-7

Actually Jehovah's Witnesses have never predicted or given a date for the end. There have been fringe members
who have postulated dates but the organization itself has never endorsed any one date.

I watched a series of programs on the History channel exploring this. Very speculative, but no less very interesting.

I think that the recent Indiana Jones movie had something to do with the Mayan calander.

Yes, the final Judgement of the wicked where they and Satan is cast inot the lake of fire. But we who are not judged as wicked live forever. There is no end just changes. What group are you guys going to be in?

[JonPop]

Me? I'm going to be in the group with all the horny women.

Well,...as I see it, there is always a civilization of those who are well off and those who suffer. Those who are well off prosper and acquire more of earths wealth which leaves less for those who suffer. Those who suffer increase in number. Those who suffer get pissed off and overthrow the few who are rich and for a while it's good. Then elitism strikes, once again there is segregation between those who are well off and those who aren't and the circle repeats itself.

They say that the only permanent thing is the change... but that change is very repetitive, almost constant in nature.
Historia est magistra vitae - they say but tell me, do you know anyone or any society that has learned anything from history and corrected it's mistakes?
