thal will name his vodoo doll st. cecelia.

foreclosure 'states' will indicate hope for greedy investors

sponge bob will be an included logo choice for banking identification

unmatched silverware will continue to reside in my kitchen

bob will create another amazing snail pic

a severe weather system will cause giant hail to drop in mid-july (this is a guess and not a prediction).

thal will go down at 10,000 ft on mt blanc - the result of not having two russian titanium oxygen tanks strapped to his back.  actually four might be better.  two going to the summit - and two coming back down.

truth and faith is not wrested by levers and screws - as faust says. 

seriously, if one wants to know what will happen before Jesus Christ returns - read the bible.  it's really not in any person to 'prophecy.'  if someone says something and it doesn't come true - we know they are not a prophet of God.  if it does - every word - then there is something to it.  there are a lot of preachers saying a lot of things.  and, 'soothsayers' or psychics.  but, hey - some things are cyclical and happen over and over.

what is unreal and amazing is that i believe we are not in 'cycles' anymore - but supernatural developments.  the kind where - if we literally saw the angels of revelations - (the seven - witht he seven trumpets) we would realize that some of them have already occurred and some are yet to sound.  that we are in an 'era' if you want to call it that - of a new world about to be born.  the woman (church) is in a period of extreme distress - also called childbirth pangs - and when Jesus Christ arrives (after the last three trumpets - mentioned in rev. 9:1-21 and chapter 10) we will understand what we saw happening.

this 'wierd' weather is not a natural phenomenon only - but one allowed by God at this exact time (even if it is our own doing - by destroying the ozone layer) - and the bible says the earth will be relieved of it's 'mourning.'  that even the trees and fields will rejoice and exult at Jesus return - because the earth is languishing and mourning. 

ok.  the first trumpet is hail and fire, mixed with blood = bombs.  this is happening in those war-torn areas of the word such as iraq

the second angel sounded a trumpet and something like a mountain (oil refineries) burning with fire was thrown into the sea; and a third of the sea became blood (or looked like blood =oil); and a third of the creatures, which were in the sea and had life, died; and a third of the ships were destroyed.

the third angel sounded and a great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch (we do not see these things literally - because angels are spirits), and it fell upon a third of the rivers and springs; and the name of the star is wormwood (could this be arsenic - seeping up and poisoning a lot of fresh water?); and many men died from the waters because they were made bitter.

the fourth angel sounded and a third of the sun and a third of the moon and a third of the stars were smitten, so that a third of them might be darkened and they day might not shine for a third of it, and the night the same way.  (pollution?)

as i see it - we are awaiting world war.  that is the last three angels.  the 'locusts' are helicopters (as john could not possibly have known what to call them) 'power was given them, as the scorpions of the earth have power. and they were told that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, nor any green thing, nor any tree, but only the men who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads.  and they were not permitted to kill anyone, but to torment for five months (nucear fallout has repercussions of radiation sickness); and their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it stings a man.'

the millions mentioned as the sixth angel letting loose - have breastplates the color of fire and of hyacinth and of brimstone, and the heads of the horses are like the heads of lions; and out of their mouths proceed fire and smoke - 200 million of them.   eastern country with flags of those colors and a standing army of 200 million.  i believe the 'horses' signify war - and 'like the heads of lions' indicates things like tanks.

how does God know all these things that will happen.  i don't know!  He just does.  all you can do is watch and pray that you will be 'accounted worthy to escape all these things.'  rev. 3:20 'behold, i stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him, and will dine with him, and he with Me, He who overcomes, I will grant to him to sit down with Me on my throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne....'

Passover and the Ressurrection typify this very brief moment of history (3 days and nights) as monumentous in their fulfillment.  God will literally dwell with man and 'wipe away all tears.'  the first of the months of the israelites was nissan (commencing this year on march 19 at the new moon - on most calendars - right before the spring equinox) so - actually tonight is the eve of the 14th - and the very day that JEsus Christ partook of flat bread and wine and washed his disciples feet -as an example of service.  also, this very night is the one that Peter denied Christ three times.  i think God allows us to see what each of us is like without the help of the Holy Spirit in the days leading up to this one - so we may be more thankful throughout the year of the help it does give us.  Peter was a faithful man after this trial and was saddened to know that it wasn't in his own person - this strength of the Holy Spirit - but from God.  only God can give us His strength.  we aren't strong enough ourselves.

tommorrow- the 14th of nissan - was exactly the day that Christ died.  otherwise, He would not literally have BEEN the passover lamb.  the lamb of God. 

if you want to help 'prophecy' come true - enter His gates with praise right now.  thank Him for being your God.  give Him glory and praise now!  He is king of all the earth and always will be.  but, He holds out his hands for every single person on this earth to repent (especially on this day remembering his great sacrifice of Himself on our behalf) and to turn to Him and be humble.  break out a bottle of wine and some bread and give thanks for Jesus Christ's own blood that was spilt and His body that was given on your behalf.  share it with someone who is near you and explain to them the symbols.  this is what was mistaken about the beliefs of the cathars and the waldensians during the inquisition - they believed the blood and body of Christ was LIFE and it was not some kind of karma that people came back to life in someone else.  but, this was actually the belief that the HOLY SPIRIT (at baptism) resides in us as a downpayment of the fulness of the spirit that God will give us later at the ressurrection of the dead. that is our hope at passover.

the 'locusts' are helicopters (as john could not possibly have known what to call them)

That is stating the obvious really.

I thought that everyone knew that John was talking about helicopters and not locusts.

It says in the Bible "and lo, a plague of helicopters decended and not a field was left untouched"

[increpatio]

What an oil-centric apocalypse buildup!  "I woke up one morning; my hair was suspiciously oily; I knew that the end of the world was coming". 

ok.  the first trumpet is hail and fire, mixed with blood = bombs.  this is happening in those war-torn areas of the word such as iraq

It has been happing since the advent of exploding things, of course.  The hail and fire thing more fills me with cosy childhood memories of sitting in front of the fire while it hailed outside.  Don't know how to bring the blood thing in to it, though.  : (

Does the bible really give you such an interpretative licence so as to allow you interpret blood as oil?  (or, more what I mean is: is the language in the passages you're quoting from obviously metaphorical?)

[pianistimo]

john could not literally interpret his dreams - but what he saw was OUR day!  exactly things that we literally see leading up to JEsus return.  john did not know about helicopters or oil fields.  he had to write about them using narriative that he was familiar with.

rev. 1:9 'i, john, your brother and fellow partaker in the tribulation and kingdom and perseverance,which are in Jesus, was on the isalnd called patmos, because of the word of God and the testimony of JEsus (he was put there in isolation).  I WAS IN THE SPIRIT ON THE LORD's DAY; and I heard behind me a loud voice like the sound of a trumpet (he was shown what to write)...'write in a book what you see....'

I cor. 5:7 'clean out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, just as you are in fact unleavened.  for Christ our passover also has been sacrificed.  let us therefore celebrate the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.'

sometimes people think the bible is all doom and gloom.  actually there are parts of revelations that mention rewards.  for instance - to each of the church eras.  rev. 2:7 'to him who overcomes i will grant to eat of the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.  rev. 2:11 'he who overcomes shall not be hurt by the second death.  rev. 2:17 ' to him who overcomes, to him i will give some of the hidden manna, and i will give him a white stone, and a new name written on the stone which noone knows but he who receives it.   rev. 2:26 'to him who overcomes, and he who keeps my deeds until the END, to him i will give authority over nations; and he shall rule them with a rod of iron, as the vessels of the potter are broken to pieces, as i also have receive authority from My Father.'  rev.3:5 'he who overcomes shall thus be clothed in white garments; and i will not erase his name from the book of life, and i will confess his name before My Father, and before His angels.' 

the best is for our time.  LAST.  rev. 3:10 'because you have kept the word of My perseverance, i also will keep you from the hour of testing, that hour which is about to come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell upon the earth.'

remember tonight.  repent.  be close to God.  it is a time for serious reflection and prayer about the world's situation.  it is not good.  it will get worse.  we have to wait until the END of all these things.  it is much like JEsus Christ in the garden of gethsemane.  He knew what lie ahead.  he was preparing His mind by meditating and praying to God.  you cannot suddenly be prepared.  that is why five of the ten virgins (half the church) had to go looking for oil (holy spirit) at the last minute.  they were locked out of the wedding feast because they suddenly had to go look for oil for their lamps.

If that's true, then I'm sitting here, having not thought of the idea yet.  The idea has yet to be born.  I can influence the outcome.  Kind of freaky.



btw, what is the new date on the end of the world?  I heard 2012.  12-12-2012.  After that, I think it's 2028 or 2032, when that aesteroid comes around.  You know someone is going to say "the Mayan calendar, etc." was off a little, so it's not the moment that just passed that was the end of the world, but it's really a moment in the near distant future.

[increpatio]

john could not literally interpret his dreams - but what he saw was OUR day!  exactly things that we literally see leading up to Jesus return.  john did not know about helicopters or oil fields.  he had to write about them using narriative that he was familiar with.

But how do you know this?  How do you know that he wasn't talking about some war hundreds of years in the future? Some oil-fields hundreds of years in the future? Or something entirely different that Paul didn't have the words to describe?  We haven't even gotten past the first blast in your interpretation (a third of the land has yet to be scorched) and you're already crying wolf!

[pianistimo]

Jesus said 'no man knows the day or the hour' - excepting God the Father.  what i find interesting is that he did not say YEAR.  why?  because, i think that as the countdown continues we will recognize that the last 3 1/2 years (or tribulation) there will be two witnesses in jerusalem - broadcasting what people will laugh and jeer at.  and yet - there will be sufficient cause for alarm since they will have supernatural powers from God as moses did.  rev. 11:3 'and i will grant authority to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for twelve hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth (clothes of mourning = black).... these have the power to shut up the sky, in order that rain may not fall during the days of their prophesying; and they have power over the waters to turn them into blood, and to smite the earth with every plague, as often as they desire.'

now, to us right now - this seems sinister.  but, it is as a warning to the parts of the earth that have been ignoring God.  this is like 'hello, I'm God. I'm over here.'  if God did not do this - people would continue to ignore Him.

i think we will recognize when their prophecying is over because they are foretold to be killed and then, in verse 11 'after three and a half days the breath of life  from God came into them, and they stood on their feet; and great fear fell upon those who were beholding them, and they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, 'come up here.'  and they went up into heaven in the cloud, and their enemies beheld them.  and IN THAT HOUR there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell; and seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the rest were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven. 

vs. 15 'and the seventh angel sounded ... 'the kingdom of this world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ; and He will reign forever and ever....'


ps increpatio - i beg to differ with you.  1/3 of land HAS been scorched.  with fire in fact.   a large portion of the USA has been burned.  a large portion of australia has been burned.  check out worldwide fires (unchecked) in various places.  i come from alaska - huge areas were devasted a year or so ago in alaska.  in washington state.  many places in the world, also.

[pianistimo]

the reason i believe we will witness this soon - is that you see countermeasures taken by Satan to make people think it's alright to ridicule what is written in the book of revelations.  take a look at some recent movies coming out of hollywood.  who is inspiring them to deceive people's minds about God?  look at the topics.  i'll try to find the movie i am thinking of.  i think it is called 'the reaping.'  follow the storyline and you'll see it mirrors some stuff in revelations.  why is it coming out at this time?  because it is right before it actually happens.  spiritual world is smart.  it knows the end is near. 

[thalbergmad]

what i find interesting is that he did not say YEAR.  why? 

1. Because he did not know.

2. So hapless cranks can predict the end of the world for the next million years.

Sometime in the very near future you will go outside... and start your car.  You will go out onto the road, there you will encounter...  other cars, quite a few of them...  and some vans.

I see a light...  It will turn yellow, then red.  The patient will see it turn green, that is when you should make your move.  BEWARE:  there will be another vehicle that will make a turn but not give a signal...  This will be a bit irritating.  By the end of 2007, you will have gotten over it.  Mostly.

DISCLAIMER: the following is written by an elf who is swilling green tea and burning off negative energy in the midst of mind-bogglingly difficult studies. Take her flippancy seriously at your own risk. </end disclaimer>

Simply put, "Comme" is such a disgusting specimen of mankind that almost all women who know him despair completely of the male gender, and henceforth become radical feminists and/or lesbians, if they don't take the easier way out of this depressing situation by simply taking a stroll off of "that cliff". These poor victims of comme-ism are in definite need of professional help, and if you know one such lady be a friend and rush her to the nearst shrink. Psychicatrists work with these women patiently and gently, pointing out to them that comme (thank heavens) is a freak of nature and not very common among men, and that therefore there Is Still Hope. Recovery time tends to be about 10 to 15 years. Analysts have found that having the patients listen to slow music- particularly Bach- assists greatly in an eventual full recovery. Prevention of a return of this malady is an avoidance of contaminated substances (such as piano forums and pieces of music like "mazeppa", "feux follets", and "op. 10 no. 2").

(yes comme I'm joking again, don't get all upset and teary, for truly you're sad enough without crying. )
