I thought the new heaven and the new earth came after the 1000 year reign of Christ. Do you consider 1000 years to be soon?
They seem to be melting rather slowly. The ocean level is only increasing at a rate of about 2 inches a year. It maybe another 25 years before all heck begins to breaks loose. Esp. in Flordia, New Orleans & California.
The polar caps seem to have been going though cycles of freezing and melting for many many years now.
Could you state your point more succinctly?Bruce D McKay said:Thank you for your questions. I will be glad to answer them. Frankly, I think that this is really what this little quotation thing was designed for, rather than the manner in which it is often used by others in this forum.
Here are the answers to your questions. First, the promised land is a real place. Anyone can see it when in Heaven. It is just over on the otherside of the "river of life." When anyone even thinks of crossing over, and going over there however, they immediately hear a warning voice. "It is forbidden. You cannot cross to the promised land." When I saw it, I was eleven years old. It was in 1951, after I had died and was taken up to the Paradise of God. It was basically a very, very luxurious forest that grew right up to the edge of the river. There is most probably a lot more over there than the part that I was looking at. I mean, it's probably like the blind men and the elepahant sort of thing, and I was just looking at one small part of the whole area.
Secondly, the issue about the ice caps melting - shows how INVENTIVE the whole camp of evolutionists have been. There is a philosophy prejudicial to relgion, that sets up the wisdom of man in competition with the wisdom of God. It pleases the mind of some to supposedly know some grand and glorious secrets of the past, and it's real purpose is to ruin the faith. That is, the system of logic behind evolution was drafted to pre-date every religious text, and so the major points in logic in it, are in fact false. They have always been false, and I dare say, just do a search on the "Piri Reis Map" and you will actually see the whole artic region at the top of this world - when it had no ice whatsoever! All the map lines to support a freely moving navagation by sailing ships are there, as is the compass rose and drawings of sailing ships. You will see their cargo's of brightly feathered birds, monkies, natives, palm trees, camp fires, whales, and all the rest! What is the point? The point is that all the "invented stuff" and the vast geological time needed to put up "the ice ages," is in fact just a megar un-scientific myth! If what we think to be true of "geological time" was in fact true - there could be no such map showing what is far beneath the ice in an area. And the area in question is supposed to have been iced over now, for something like 4 thousand years, to tens of thousands of years, depending on whoever the "supposed expert" is that anyone is listening to.
To be even more specific, the incredible Piri Reis maps "dated from the early sisteenth century, are said to be based on earlier maps predating Alexander the Great, accurately depected the Amazon basins of South America and the northern coastline of Antarcita, and neither of these areas was even surveyed by modern man(!) until after the invention of Aircraft in the twentieth century! (See, Mars, Jim, Rule by Secrecy, HaperCollins books, 2000, page 236.)
Evolution then, cannot be true - AND IT IS MELTING AWAY - just as the polar ice caps are "melting away!" If it were true! If it were true! If evolution were indeed true(!) then all we would have to worry about would be the very gradual rise of water level, all over the globe. That conclusion, is in perfect keeping with the dicates of evolutionary logic. Please be aware of that fact! If the whole system of logic is only a fabrication in the first place, however, then we have far more to consider! For one thing, you need only take the time to mentally just try to caculate the tremendous WEIGHT involved, of all that water being moved to other areas of the globe - from where it is now as a stable solid! A second, more pressing factor that I see the real problem is the possibility "popping up," is a very sudden massive breaking of the ice that could rapidly leads to a shift in the actual "regular" orbital spin of the planet itself. That is what I think is truly "in the making." Check the records and you will find there has already been one piece, the size of all of Rhode Island breaking off. Third, please, do not be any longer deceived into thinking that it is merely a "slowly melting process, etc" that is taking place. I mean, not only the North Pole, but also the South Pole is rapidly melting. Ski lodges all over the world this winter, had to move all their operations up to higher slopes because the ice was melting, and had melted out all over the place - under the snow! Skiers would hit a patch of "ice-gone" snow, and their skies were suddenly "on rocky ground." Moreover, look at what they are saying now about the ice melting, even on other planets. (I guess the "greenhouse effect" involves a much bigger greenhouse than anyone previously imagined!)
And yes, that's exactly were the whole of the body of scientists are - strictly "on rocky ground." Their skies have hit solid rock! But they don't even know it! They have not a clue all because the books known as "the Apocrypha" were all taken out. It was not at the time of the King James Bible, however, as everyone has been led to believe. They stayed in - all the time up till the American Bible Society started sending Bibles to other nations in the early 1800's. That is also when the whole scheme of evolutional thinking was drafted into Western Civilization - and then, the rest of the world. If you look at it's orgins, Darwin's own father was a member of the "Lunar Society..." which graduated into "The Royal Society," and it was "governed by Huxley and his disciples" with their combined influence over the scientific press from 1864-1884. I would also point out that others have noted how their meetings as carried over from the secret Lunar Society were such that for decades - no one could even tell when the meetings of the "secret socieities" left off, and the meetings of the Royal Society began.
But, let's take another tack. Let's say that the Apocrypah didn't get really knocked out of the Bible. Let's say, it is still there, just as all the other Apocrypha books were in their initial places, scatted throughout the Bible. Let's say, Martin Luther did'nt make the move of pulling them all together as one packet of books, and the Puritains didn't "protest them." Let's say, the American Bible Society didn't drop them, and they were still in all the Bibles - and now we come upon this problem about the polar ice melting. You could do a "bible search" on shaking and you would surely come up with many passages, in that regard; many of those tell that in the last days, there will be a great shaking of the entire world. In that regard, I would invite you to do a search on your computer for the II Book of Esdras, and simply read some of it, starting in chapter 16.
I especially like the Random House translation by Edgar J. Goodspeed . . .
"The earth trembles to its foundations. The sea is stirred to its depths, and its waves are thrown into confusion, and its fish also, at hte presence of the Lord, and the glory of his might. For his right arm that bends the bow is strong, his arrows that he shoots are sharp; they will not miss when they begin to be shot to the ends of the earth. (II Esdras 16:12 Goodspeed ed)
A fire is lighted, and it will not be put out, until it consumes the foundations of the earth. Just as an arrow shot by a strong archer does not come back, so the disasters which shall be shot at the earth will not turn back. Alas for me! Who will deliver me in those days? (II Esdras 16:13-17 Goodspeed ed)
It is the beginning of sorrows, when there will be great mourning; the beginning of famine, when may will perish; the beginning of wars, when powers will fear; the beginning of disastes, when all will tremble." (II Esdras 16:18 Goodspeed ed)
In other words, I do firmly believe that the new heaven and the new earth - are right around the corrner! You can read more about it in this same forurm in various places where I have discussed what happens when there is a slight shift in the overall system of molecular forces.
I closing, I do hope these very brief notes will fully answer your questions.

Seriously: Stop copying nonsense from other people, and start thinking for yourself, because this is annoying.
Bruce makes Ikester's hydrogen canopy look sensible. at least the hydrogen canopy relies on things that exist, such as metallic hydrogen and so on, even though the properties don't allow what he says they allow. Bruce has a strong Whiskey Tango Foxtrot factor though.This message is hidden because Bruce D McKay, Elijah is on your ignore list.

Ah, so you admit you had me on ignoreNathan Poe said:I haven't had you on ignore in a long time.
I heard that a lot after I had been away for a while. One of the reasons I come to this forum is because the people here are not so dogmatic as they are on some of the christian only forums.Besides, compared to some of our more recent Creationists, you're actually pretty rational...
He seems to be talking about a time of great tribulation that is going to be coming upon this world and in fact has already begun. The world will be shaken as it has never been shaken before and it will never be shaken like that again.Ishmael Borg said:Could you state your point more succinctly?
