muff528 3 #404 August 18, 2014 RonD1120...... One of my oldest jumping buddies from the '60s was Al Stephens, AKA Omar the Tentmaker. RIP, he went in on a tandem jump at Paso Robles CA in the late '80s. Could this be the same fellow? Sorry Ron, this guy is a little older than that ...12th Century, Omar Khayyam.

billvon 2,772 #410 August 19, 2014 >THE WORLD has a history of extreme right wing posters SHEEPLE predicting the >end of the world and being wrong. Much the same will happen here I suspect. Yep. On a science forum I frequent there is a guy who regularly predicts the end of the world. The latest end dates are October 2014 (massive economic collapse) 2016 (rising sea levels) and 2020 (all humanity will go extinct from the new steam atmosphere of the Earth.) Although he qualified that last one with a "could" so maybe we won't all be parboiled. And he's just the latest. There was a guy (with the clever name "futilitist") who predicted the riots would start last summer, and by this summer the US government would be gone. Another who predicted a runaway greenhouse effect back in 2010. And here, of course, we have our own Chuteless who predicted the end of the world back in 2007 but kept pushing it back. I think there was a big meteor involved along with the usual horsemen/antichrist stuff. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think there was a big meteor involved along with the usual horsemen/antichrist stuff. What I especially like about the "Christian" apocalyptics is according to the book, "no one shall know the day or the hour" (Matt 24:36) which is never recognized by them as being a paradox of their own belief the world will end date certain. Simply baffling.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ibx 2 #420 August 19, 2014 QuoteThe how in the world is Israel part of this magic combination???? It's in da Bible. QuoteThere will be a mass return of Jews to the land of Israel (Deuteronomy 30:3; Isaiah 43:6; Ezekiel 34:11-13; 36:24; 37:1-14). The Antichrist will make a 7-year covenant of "peace" with Israel (Isaiah 28:18; Daniel 9:27). The temple will be rebuilt in Jerusalem (Daniel 9:27; Matthew 24:15; 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4; Revelation 11:1). The Antichrist will break his covenant with Israel, and worldwide persecution of Israel will result (Daniel 9:27; 12:1, 11; Zechariah 11:16; Matthew 24:15, 21; Revelation 12:13). Israel will be invaded (Ezekiel chapters 38-39). Israel will finally recognize Jesus as their Messiah (Zechariah 12:10). Israel will be regenerated, restored, and regathered (Jeremiah 33:8; Ezekiel 11:17; Romans 11:26). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
