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;
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?
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.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.
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.Where exactly in those verses is an abortion demanded?

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

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?
I've chosen God.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. 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?
Thank you.No, you aren't being unreasonable.
But can you name any examples of signs that are being seen today that have never been seen before?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.
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.Check out the dreams and visions forum on this website. There are some interesting ones.

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.
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, 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?
Every Christian I know or talk to and Pastors/teachers I've heard share this identical urgency due to the signs.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".
you're right we can't - it has to happen.If these things you describe start to happen, there isn't anything we can do about them anyway.
