Wasn't that sort of the end in 2012: where South Africa was the new central location for survivors?I was on an end of the world site once and I joked that I was digging a hole in the ground. The guy reacted very serious on how I should do that and everything I should buy to stay alive.
I won't be surprised if it happens, according to a prophecy you are most safe in Africa: http://www.inthebeginning.com/articles/norway1968.htm, but I don't care. If God wants me to be here and die, fine, I go to heaven earlier. I'm only spiritually preparing, for the rest I don't care. If there comes a crisis we'll pray for mannah.
Oh I don't know. I remember hearing a prophecy on youtube in 2010 that the world was going to end in 2012 and I wasn't a believer anymore at the time and living together with someone and that man on youtube could count the exact day from Bible verses and since I believe a lot I believed that. I hysterically screamed to my friend that we had to convert now!!!!!!! He was asleep and woke up irritated saying I was an idiot.Wasn't that sort of the end in 2012: where South Africa was the new central location for survivors?
My biggest objection was the "Babylonian exile" point. I have little problem with orality. Many cultures were and are oral ones and pass down (with little variation) accounts, stories, or myths by "story telling".In all fairness, the Old Testament does contain many elements of oral literature. They're better seen in the Hebrew (as you know since, as I remember, you have a degree in theology), but to say that most of it was written for the first time in Babylon is unreasonable. It also ignores references to finding the book of the law and several other books which have since been lost. Editing during the Exile is very likely; major composition is unlikely.
Weeding's a weird process in libraries: they usually would cut out older editions as well as those that might not be checked out at all in the last few yearsYea..we had soooo many silly books published on it at the public library where I worked. After 2012 came and went, I think they had to do a lot of weeding.
Well, im sure the basement prolly still has copies of 88 reasons the rapture will be in 1988.
If you spiritually prepared, you have nothing to fear.

Ha yes I know those texts, but this funny guy said: yes indeed we do not know the day or the hour but we can know the year and the month and then it was with a Jewish feast either this or that day, lol.I always wonder how people miss the part in the Bible "While studying extensively" as all these people supposedly do.... how they miss the specific words of Jesus, no man knows the day... not even the Son.
And "He will come like a thief in the night". Meaning, no one will expect His return on the day it happens.
I hear doomsday predictions and I simply laugh.
I wish I had talked to you then, Id have calmed you down.
People have been predicting the end since the beginning, while I do believe the end will come.... I can pretty much promise, it will NOT be on the days that all these "ITS THE END!!" predictions say.
In my life time alone, we have had more "real threats" to the end of days as I have had decades on this Earth.
Y2K, Mayan calender ending, 9/11, the predictions from youtube folks, blood moon 2015.... etc.

I know this is off-topic, and I'm not sorry! Old Testament literary studies is one of my favourite subjects. But with consideration for the competition of @Saucy and @Miss Spaulding, I'll make this my last.
Oh ok.
But william seems to actually have a real fallout shelter. He said he made one.
When it comes to the end, the bible makes it clear there is no hiding from the wrath of God. People will try to kill themselves and won't be able to. They'll try to run from the face of God and won't be able to. And the world will be destroyed with fire. It couldn't anything. Nuclear blast, asteroid strike, the sun, or supernatural.
Why are you not at Survivalistboards.com instead of here. These guys are not survivalist they are normal. Did Robert send you here? Let him know I am not some prepper nut job, I am normal.
Now lets get down to being normal. Are your friends M1's Garand's or Carbines? I use an Israel gas mask with 40mm NBC filters, what do you use? I am looking for some good priced M40's that are new production, know of any at a good price? Does your IFAK have a chest decompression needle?
I am not a prepper but I am somebody who will bug out and never come back and produce a new place where ever I go. I may even cross the Bering Strait and settle in the vast wilderness of western Russia.
Do you think a Plum campers axe is as good of chopper as a good Gransfors Burks Scandinavian Forest Axe?
snow pretty much stops everything
