Since the beginning of history, the world's end has been predicted by several fringe groups, quite a few of them in the US. Normally sane people get taken in and then of course "taken out".
The Bible of course predicts it and the legendary Nostradamus has his own cult following with prophecies so vague, it could fit any situation. However since the past 5 years or so protestant mainline churches have been hinting but not saying directly about the impending end of the human race and quoting bible prophecies, often convincing and mostly from the last chapter - The Book of Revelations, to prove their projections. No body of course is giving any timeline because that will entail a complete loss of cedibility and these churches are far too sophisticated to indulge in potentially faith-destroying beliefs. Mind you, they do not harp on this direction mentioning that as good Christians it should not matter whether the world ends tomorrow or after a couple of million years. Here are some of their indications: Annihilation of many species of flora and fauna. The instability of the global economy and global currencies. Erratic weather and climate conditions never seen before. Frequent wars in several regions and mass killings of innocent people. Wide disparity in wealth such as never witnesses in any human age and I could go on and on. The scientists including those among us will pooh pooh all these fears and the gullible will beleive all that is theorized in totality, but as it usually does, the truth lies somewhere in between. If you are a man of faith, you know that none of the great books of religion have given men any but the most vague predictions of anything for they must by necessity remain so and if on the other hand if you are modern man, sceptical, analytical and logical on a practical level, you do know that the way we are wasting and destroying the earth's non-renewable or resources that took millions of years to be created, or polluting the planet with non-degradable toxic wastes, we cannot for sure have a unlimited block of time left. Meanwhile leave your fears aside, do what you can for Mother Earth and perhaps She will not be as unforgiving as she would have been. Roland. Sent from Samsung Mobile
