end of days?

i've been watching this youtube channel for a few months. it's mostly about current events. but he also makes alot of references to the new world order and the end of days in the bible. i am not religious. but i must admit he does a really good job at relating the bible to current events. his latest video throws up ezekiel 38-39 which says iran and a coalition of other countries will attack israel. after that he shows a video of russia and iran signing a military cooperation agreement a few days ago. again, i am not religious. but i have seen quite a few references about the end of days mentioned in the bible that have a very strong connection to current events. with the current state of the world and all the fucked up shit going on it doesn't take a wild imagination to consider our time might be coming to an end.

Yeah, the problem is the bible isn't based off reality, it's fiction and you can get the same results by looking at sci-fi movies from the 90's etc.

The Bible is a nice long book, full of stuff what you can consider as prediction, so you can find some good quotes for every ocasion from the winter olympics to doomsday

Ever heard of self-fulfilling prophecy? Seems more likely than some stupid book written a couple thousand years ago predicting anything. And Iran attacking Israel? Isn't it more likely the opposite?

Its very vague book also, thing is if you have a very vague long book which is the most popular in history then sometimes things will happen in society which seem like the book is predicting. Its logical.

nowadays people say everything is fake. god is fake. the illuminati is fake. fluoride in the water is fake. 911 inside job is fake. global warming is fake. most of us are so stupid i doubt we are capable of recognizing the truth even when it's right in front of your face. i bet most of you scrubs would get chips in your hand and would still deny the mark of the beast.

Naah, truth is discovered by removing contradiction, the bible is full of contradiction so too are governments, this is a space with many different perspectives and opinions and very effective at sniffing out contradictions, so a very healthy space to share and learn.

You are assuming few things into a conclusion.
Instead of worrying these god, global warming,
why don't you do your job in this world.
What your belief, do in your belief.

Job doesn't mean paying-job in the economy market.
Job means every actions that had been done to something by you.
For example, you throw rubbish into rubbish bin, you report something bad to authority
you are not wasting any foods or etc.

If you aren't worried anything, that is very nice.

its israel who wants to attack iran not the other way around and there is no "new world order" there is capitalistic zionism pitting different groups of people against one another creating conflicts where there needn't be any

Israel wouldn't dare. there are factions in the middle east that would gladly attack Israel. Not necessarily the Iranian govt. but Al qaeda, ISIS, etc.

That is not what the Bible says. The war was with Magog or Gog. Some scholars think they mean the Babylonians while most interpret it to mean Lydia (if I remember correctly).

As far as world order, I think the world is becoming less ordered over time.

Maybe you are to ignorant to read in between the lines.

Magog or Gog is the ancient reference for russia like persia is for iran. it also says they will be invaded by the north. russia is north of israel.

Well it's an interesting enough topic, the signs can be interpreted however you wish them to be and we live in interesting times even by humanity standards with progress in the last two centuries that easily surpasses that of a millennia before it.

Whether we are checkmarking all the X's in the end of days prophecy is an interesting question in and of itself, until humanity can move beyond earth and colonize multiple solar systems which are independent of each other (Aka in different star systems), we still run the risk of total extinction of the race if there is a catastrophic event.

The human race can be its own weapon of mass destruction after all.

bible aside i do believe our time is coming to an end. we don't know how to take care of our planet the plants the animals or even each other. we will be our own undoing.

Right now seems like only thing can save is technology since no large % of the population is prepared to live like hippies/monks.

The technology is in fact there and so are very legitimate theories, the problem is finding people who will risk the money and unfortunately a lot of those people who could afford to all have their money tied up in oil companies etc. so they have no interest in it.

We better hope we get more time to liberate ourselves from things like oil and other current monopolies then.

I do wonder how far we are ahead with technology though. Are the super rich not perceiving the situation accurately?

It's either total denial or they're just not interested from what I can tell, there's all sorts like hydrogen fuel cell technology out in prototyping right now and of course bacteria that produces ethanol which would be another way to solve the problems of supply. Usually not worth thinking about what a bunch of lunatics use as reasoning for their actions though.

One of the most interesting projects I've seen is a power plant that specifically takes advantage of the hotspots created by global warming in our oceans to create more electricity, that might actually be a pretty realistic step forward into fixing the problems with our atmosphere.

So basically someone went "Hmm, the earth is getting warmer because of all the coal and oil we're burning, so why not use that heat to generate electricity?" Grin

I need to find the link but it is definitely legit, they basically plan to install floating power plants that gather up the heat and turn the turbines to produce eletricity, simple but effective.

It's the same sort of idea where someone noticed that waste gives off geothermal gas and so on so why not use that very heat and emissions that's causing the problems in the first place?
