Apocalypse now! Right now! You hear us? Right. Fricking. Now. NOW! Right NOW! NOW, NOW, NOW, NOW, NOW! Right Now! Now, now, now! Apocalypse now!

For thousands of years, prophets have predicted the end of the world. Today, various religious groups, using the latest technology, are trying to hasten it.
Their endgame is to speed the promised arrival of a messiah. For some Christians this means laying the groundwork for Armageddon. ...
In Iran, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has a far different vision. As mayor of Tehran in 2004, he spent millions on improvements to make the city more welcoming for the return of a Muslim messiah known as the Mahdi, according to a recent report by the American Foreign Policy Center, a nonpartisan think tank. ...
Conversely, some Jewish groups in Jerusalem hope to clear the path for their own messiah by rebuilding a temple on a site now occupied by one of Islam's holiest shrines. ...
Then there is Clyde Lott, a Mississippi revivalist preacher and cattle rancher. He is trying to raise a unique herd of red heifers to satisfy an obscure injunction in the Book of Numbers: the sacrifice of a blemish-free red heifer for purification rituals needed to pave the way for the messiah. ...
THESE PEOPLE ARE ALL CRAZY.
Read all about it.

Hmm, unless I misread a comment over at Trucker Philosophy, i think ELAshley is among this number - something about Iraq/Babylon/antiChrist. Something, but I may have it wrong and apologize if so. I guess I could always ask him.
ER,
I think this writer has been duped by "pulpit fiction," otherwise known as urban legends. I don't think these things are true.

How many times since about 200 B.C.E. has the "end of time" occured? Think of of several dozen off the top of my head. I wonder if anyone has kept count.
I'm not worried about the "end of time" or the "end of the world", for I know that it is coming to an end for me in not more than 30 years or so.
Also because "time" and "the world" are human concepts. God would have no need of them.
I do worry a bit about the "Rosenthal Effect" that these turkeys generate. Especially when they are the President of the United States. I don't think their "self-fulfilling phophacies" when cause the world to end, but they sure could ruin a chunck of it it with their stupidity.
Think if you will of the Hindu image of the Lord Of the Dance (the Nataraja) Vishnu who dances on the dwarf of evil inside the circle of eternity, as world after world after world after world after world comes and goes as God and his goodness continue on forever.
That kind of makes the local end of the world stuff mudane a bit now don't it?

Hey, that's a purdy interesting end-times site. Not much -- not MUCH, I said -- objectionable about the outfit that put it together, looks like.
(... said realizing that somes of us are better at finding objectionables than others of us is!) :-)

my confirmation name was "john the apostle". i did a report on him for my ccd class. the only one of the twelve to die of natural causes. lived in exile into his eighties (an uncommonly long life span for those times). by the time he wrote revelations, he was batshit crazy.
you guys need to revise, and drop that book. not doing anyone any good....

Israel has already produced a blemish free red heifer. No need for this other crack pots effort.
I do hope the so-called apoppy-clips happens soon, but I'm not actively working to hasten it along. Nor do I believe that the apoppy-clips signals the end of the world.
This world has millions of years left in her.
Also, Israel has been actively involved in recreating all the instruments needed for temple worship and animal sacrifice for years now. There will be a temple in Israel again. And I believe it will be in my lifetime. and it will be built without objection from the Palestinian Authority.
That doesn't make me a kook. And you'll never get me to believe that.

All I meant was that people who dare to try to "hasten" the Lord are cwazy wabbits.
I don't think yer cwazy, ELash.

ELA is not crazt, not any more than I am (sorry about that ELA). He is correct that segments of the Israeli governmnet and society wiil re-create the Temple. It may not be on Temple Mount but where Moses had the Tabernacle before the tmple was built. I hadn't heard about the red Heffer, but I thought is was supposed to be a red bull. (avoid the puns Teditor)
The world nor mankind will come to an end soon. Cultures come and go but species well they be a might be hard to do in.
ER it is 59 degrees and I'm looking at the sandstone ediffices of the Garden of the Gods from the abided the old God, Manitou, himself. Thought about taking a tour through the FOTF facilities but went shopping at the Mountainman store instead.
