If it's not Oct. 21 then they'll just keep changing the date again. Now the various forums are putting the date at the end of 2011 or tying it to some feast in Jerusalem or the position of the moon or what not. Madness. Just madness.

Though we know that the scriptures speak not of the King James Bible; but is not the King James Bible the scriptures? Yea, no doubt the King James Bible is the word of God; and this is our life, and this Book has been our life, without it we would know nothing. Thus it is worth noting, at least at a minimum a warm comfort unto us, that the King James Bible came out in the year 1611; God gave us His people His complete word in one language, the Old and New in one language, a pure language, For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the LORD, to serve him with one consent, and that the year 1611 is exactly 400 years from our present year 2011.

And moreover the King James Bible has been afflicted and persecuted for these last 400 years, as we in like manner the people of God have been afflicted and persecuted speaking that selfsame word out of our mouths, and out of our conversation (behaviour), and and out of our typing fiery finger tips, so God saw fit only to allow the people of this world 400 years with this His most majestic and most holy transaltion that has ever walked this planet.

Four hundred years is all God needed to finally show and allot, at the end of days, that the people of this world have no interest in knowing Him, even with having had given unto them a most blessed and magnifcant Bible as the King James Version, and having had raised up a man to put together a catalogue of every single word used in this English Bible with its accompanying Hebrew and Greek words respectively, that man namely being James Strong. And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years.

I am not wholly ready to apply this verse to being that the King James Bible has been afflicted 400 years, but I also do not feel that that notion of its applicableness should be cast aside as nought; for we have often wondered why God used "four hundred" years is this passage in Genesis, and not four hundred and thirty; and we thus shouldn't necessarily rush to think it a stretch to feel it has nothing to do with the years from 1611 unto our day 2011: For, to say that it is a mere coincidence that the greatest complete one volume Bible ever produced the King James Bible is exactly 400 years old, that it coincidentally exactly ties in to the year of the end of the world; yea, to say that that is a mere coincidence, certainly is stretching believabilty beyond the breaking point.
So we can all thank 1611 for finally giving the people of earth (read: England) the Bible in a pure language (read: English). This proves that the world will end in 2011 BTW.

Why does the return of Christ mean the world will end? It didn't end last time he was here. Am I missing something?

It is just what is left to be fullfilled. The time of the Gentlies will be at an end and Jesus will fullfill the remaining promises to Israel. We are talking about a period of trouble(7 years) and a period of world peace(1000years) followed by a brief battle and judgement.

Organized religion needs a threat to keep everyone in line. You have to be frightened about the consequences of deviating from doctrine.

Yup. A gentile is everybody but, the Jews.



Rom 11:25-27 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.

The covenant refered to in Romans 11 is found in Jeremiah 31:31-34.


This sect that keeps predicting the end of the world seems to believe that they are "spiritual Israel" or that they have somehow replaced Israel in prophesy.

Yeah, I know what a Gentile is. I thought maybe the Gentlies were a new form of super race.

Kind of like the meek, only now it's the Gentlies that inherit the earth.

If I was Christ and I came back and realised what had been done in my name I might well be 'end of the world' pissed with us.

Can I ask a question Calgaryborn? Do you actually believe what you just typed? Seriously, do you?

Well...I'm still here and so are all my friends. Looks like we squeaked by Judgement again.

You know, when this last came up, I read a short story written by a friend. It's basic essence was that Jesus came, took all his believers, and then with quite a few less people on the earth, appeared to everyone else and said "I've removed a lot of the problem. Try not to screw it up this time."

I like that sentiment.

I presume that my still being on earth means I was deemed not worthy.

Ah well, so were 99.999...% of people.
