In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator.

Interesting article.

Yes, it is well known that there is a possibility that an extreme solar flare could harm us, or we MIGHT get hit by an asteroid, or the LHC MIGHT generate a strangelt that will destroy the Earth... but you claim this stuff is about to happen, as a definite prediction, not just as a speculative possibility.

What do you base this on? Where is your new scientist article predicting a major asteroid collision in the next few weeks?

Yep, you'd be wrong. Here is where the Bible demands abortion of a pregnancy in a woman accused of adultery...
Numbers 5:11-21 (King James Version)



11And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
12Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If any man's wife go aside, and commit a trespass against him,
13And a man lie with her carnally, and it be hid from the eyes of her husband, and be kept close, and she be defiled, and there be no witness against her, neither she be taken with the manner;
14And the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be defiled: or if the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be not defiled:
15Then shall the man bring his wife unto the priest, and he shall bring her offering for her, the tenth part of an ephah of barley meal; he shall pour no oil upon it, nor put frankincense thereon; for it is an offering of jealousy, an offering of memorial, bringing iniquity to remembrance.
16And the priest shall bring her near, and set her before the LORD:
17And the priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel; and of the dust that is in the floor of the tabernacle the priest shall take, and put it into the water:
18And the priest shall set the woman before the LORD, and uncover the woman's head, and put the offering of memorial in her hands, which is the jealousy offering: and the priest shall have in his hand the bitter water that causeth the curse:
19And the priest shall charge her by an oath, and say unto the woman, If no man have lain with thee, and if thou hast not gone aside to uncleanness with another instead of thy husband, be thou free from this bitter water that causeth the curse:
20But if thou hast gone aside to another instead of thy husband, and if thou be defiled, and some man have lain with thee beside thine husband: 21Then the priest shall charge the woman with an oath of cursing, and the priest shall say unto the woman, The LORD make thee a curse and an oath among thy people, when the LORD doth make thy thigh to rot, and thy belly to swell;

Where exactly in those verses is an abortion demanded?

Rev 8

Rev 8:7The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.

Rev 8:8And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood;

Rev 8:9And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.

Rev 8:10And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;

Rev 8:11And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.

Rev 8:12And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise.


If you're here when any of this starts happening, choose God and don't be fooled by what comes after this.

Yes, I'm familiar with Revelation, it is in fact my favourite book of the Bible. However that isn't the issue here. You made a claim that Revelation type stuff is going to start occuring in the next couple of weeks. I am curious as to what you base this claim on. So far, I havn't seen any evidence that things are generally worse today than at any other point in history, and, indeed, one could well contend that for the most part, they are actually a great deal better.

It is generally considered by many Biblical scholars that the "bitter water" refered to is in fact an abortifactant, and the entire process is intended to terminate any pregnancies resulting from the wrong man.

There are plenty of unbiblical scholars out there. What scholars?

It will begin suddenly when people are saying "peace and security", kind of like you are now.

There will be a MASSIVE earthquake in Israel, the sun/moon will darken and people all over the earth will be trembling in fear. Everyone will know it was God.

If I go and find you a citation, will you maybe tell me what you think is a better explanation for this passage, if not the administration of an abortifactant?

Right... so, are you saying your only evidence that things are about to go apocalyptic is that we are living in a period of relative peace and security?

If there is a massive Earthquake in Israel in the next couple of weeks, you will have my unmitigatted apology.

What do I get if there isn't one?

No, Christians will be aware of what is about to happen. (1 Thess 5).

1Th 5:3For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.

1Th 5:4But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.




Luk 17:26"Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man.

Luk 17:27People were eating, drinking, marrying and being given in marriage up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all.

Luk 17:28"It was the same in the days of Lot. People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building.

Luk 17:29But the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.



If there is a massive Earthquake in Israel in the next couple of weeks, you will have my unmitigatted apology.

What do I get if there isn't one?

Well, you'd definitely get more time to choose God. Since you are in Australia and basically on the other side of the world, I could give you an electronic :hug:. But just be ready...things are getting interesting and those who are watching are seeing and hearing that it's time.

I've chosen God.

But could you please tell me what you have seen or heard that suggests to you things are about to get apocalyptic? Am I being unreasonable asking?

No, you aren't being unreasonable.

We know the signs (mentioned in this thread) and what is coming (Rev 13- global government/global economy which controls the planet) which have been mentioned. We see all the signs coming together..all at the same time.

We are also having dreams, visions and can sense the urgency through the Holy Spirit. Some dismiss it. Some are taking a wait and see attitude.
Some aren't getting it at all.

Check out the dreams and visions forum on this website. There are some interesting ones.

God warned Noah and He warned Lot and He is warning the church and the church is sensing the urgency...and it's more than one person getting similar "messages".

Thank you.

I just might do that. However, I'm willing to go out on a limb and say that I bet there have been a lot more dreams predicting bad things in the future than there have ever been actual bad things in the future.

I mean, I just don't see any reason to see THIS "the end is nigh" as different to the hundreds of previous ones. If you have anything specific that makes this one differnt to all the others, I'd love to hear about it.

Well, everything is happening at once...it's a convergence of all the signs that Jesus warned about.

Before Israel was established as a nation in 1948, there weren't neighbors who wanted Israel wiped off the map (Psalm 83/ Ezek 28:24-26).

Russia wasn't powerful enough to do anything for decades and now they are sabre rattling and have built up their military strength and are siding with Iran (Ezek 38).

The population of the world can now produce a 200 million man army (Rev 9).

There is a call for a global government and financial system that will supposedly bring peace and security for all mankind. (Rev 13, 1 Thess 5)

Obama has basically been worshipped with Messianic overtones...setting the stage for the possiblity of him or someone like him actually being the man of sin because he's arrogant and proud and doesn't think much of Israel, rejects the god of his fathers and honors a god of forces (hindu). (Rev 13/Daniel 11)

The Gospel has been taken to all nations as a witness. (Matt 24)

Increase in cults and divisions/sects in Christianity.

Geopolitical alignment of nations as described in Psalm 83 and Ezek 38.

Intensity of earthquakes and weather phenomenon increasing. More massive natural disasters (frequency).

People are harming the earth (seeding the air with chemicals and metals, electromagnetic antenna to influence earth's electromagnetic waves, not to mention polution)

Increase in wickedness of all kinds while Christianity and Jesus are bashed.

Scoffers coming along saying "where is this coming...everything continues as it always has". (1 Peter)

Jerusalem is a "burdensome stone" that nations fight over. (Zech)

2000 years (2 days) have passed since the birth of Christ and Christ will rule on the 3rd Day

6000 years (6 days) have passed since the fall of mankind, and Christ will rule on the 7th day.

Hosea 6 shows Israel being revived after 2 days and restored on the 3rd.

Technology has increased so that it's possible to put a mark in/on a global population, track them and limit their movements. (Rev 13)

Women don't want babies when that used to be what they wanted most. Luk 23:29For the time will come when you will say, 'Blessed are the barren women, the wombs that never bore and the breasts that never nursed!'

Thanks for taking the time to put that together. I appreciate it. I'll go so far as to admit its compelling, but I remain unconvinced. Guess we'll just have to wait for that big earthquake in Israel, huh?

Well, all that I listed which are all happening at the same time are the signs. The earthquake will be sudden and massive and by then, it'll be too late for a lot of people. The beginning of the sequence of events which takes about 3 1/2 years leading up to the coming of Christ on the clouds to destroy will be in progress.

Just be ready.

Every Christian I know or talk to and Pastors/teachers I've heard share this identical urgency due to the signs.

If what we're seeing aren't the signs given in the Bible, then
I truly doubt we have ears to hear God at all and it was truly
pointless for God to put so much prophecy into the Bible for
us to yawn :yawn: at.

I think one major prophetic sign was Israel becoming her own nation.
That seems to have kicked everything off that follows.
Christians in the field of eschatology have been predicting a one world govt. for decades now and economic collapse has been the
reason they've given for global uniting to have to occur...
(at the same time that we'd be seeing global religious unification.
Ecumenism - and sure enough, that's where we are.

And here the world is with many countries going into a recession at the same time. Nevermind the rapid succession of them as they intensify.
It's all the combined signs that we cannot ignore anymore and the
fast rate at which they're happening (like the birth pangs of a woman
in labor till she gives birth)....
just amazing.
We live in amazing times to witness these events, yet to me it's
sad and scary to watch the downfall before judgment.

If these things you describe start to happen, there isn't anything we can do about them anyway. :(
you're right we can't - it has to happen.

The point of prophecy is basically 2 fold:

1) proves God and His word are true by knowing the future events
which noone can know (bible writers wouldn't know this if it weren't
supernaturally given to them to be so accurate).

2) warning that when you see these signs, to be spiritually ready at
anytime He may return.

But Paul teaches us at the same time, to continue on in this
world being busy and active in our service. We don't go sit
on a mountain waiting for God to return - there are things to
do and this is supposed to give us that urgency in which to
get them done. [Time being short].
