I think myself to be a pretty well read Christian, and I read it through and I have to say that website is pretty horrible and unconvincing. Indeed, it's nothing more than nostradamus mysticism and long-shot conjecturism drawing together correlations and parallels between things that wouldn't make sense without the solution.

It's just like the entire Bible/Da Vinci Code things. People are just drawn by prophecy but I don't think that Christians should be using it as proof of the veracity of scripture because what can men say for certain? I don't know any non-Christians that would be convinced by a amateurish website with such emotionally charged and stated claims like that. The tone is just too fundamentalist.

And the fear of God is not the same fear as we normally percieve in general thought and usage as in terror of punishment, of dread, desperation, or cruelty.

The fear of the Lord is an utmost respect and humility at what is before you, so much that it fills you with conviction and quivering at the absolute just power before you. It's like cringing at realizing how big the universe is and how insignificant you are.
