They're doing it again! RW'ers predicting the end of the world on 9/12/06
Edited on Fri Sep-01-06 07:53 AM by ck4829
You think they'd shut up after their dreams of world domination/destruction were shut down when August 22, 2006 turned out to be just another regular day, but no, they're doing it again.

"Yisrayl Hawkins, well known Bible scholar and author, reports that the Bible predicts the exact date and the location that nuclear war will begin. Hawkins states that the current crisis in the Middle East will go nuclear on September 12, 2006 in the area around the Euphrates River. Calling upon his 50 years of biblical research, Hawkins correlates numerous Bible prophecies with world events to support his claim.

According to Yisrayl Hawkins, the countdown to nuclear war began with the signing of the Oslo accords on the White House lawn on September 13, 1993. He says that the book of Daniel shows that although this is a seven-year agreement, it would take fourteen years to be fully carried out, ending on October 13, 2007. He then cites prophecies in the book of Revelation showing that nuclear war would begin a year, a month and a day prior to the end of the Oslo agreement.

Yisrayl Hawkins has a worldwide following. His Prophetic Word Program, focusing on peace through education, is broadcast 24 hours a day on the Hotbird 6 satellite, reaching Europe, North Africa and the Middle East. On July 16, 2006, the BBC website reported on the activities of followers of The House of Yahweh in Kenya, who are taking this message seriously and preparing for this event. Yisrayl Hawkins has met with dozens of leaders in the Middle East to discuss the biblical way to peace, including The Prime Minister of Israel, The President of Israel, Chief Rabbis of Israel, Islamic Clerics & Leaders, Directors of International Research Centers and Agencies, City Mayors, Ambassadors, Chairmen of Parliamentary Committees, Founders & Directors of Universities, Colleges & Schools, Community Leaders, Members of Parliament and many others."

11. Its election time
Time to start the fear mongering! "Only the Republicans can save us!"

Hopefully, the public in general is on to them by now, but I doubt it.

2. This makes me suspect that this is yet another calculated distraction;
'the end of the world' got a lot of media attention the last time.

5. Someday they will be right
If only because Bushco will "make it so...":scared:

It really boggles the mind to have people running this country who are aligned with those who want to destroy it as fast as possible.

8. "No one knows the day or time"
Those of us who've actually READ that and profess to be Christian know to ignore ANYONE who says they have any special knowledge....

7. Ask them what it would mean if it didn't happen.
These "end-of-the-world" nuts have been with us forever. In America alone, there have been dozens of these dates put forward, often accompanied by expectant cult members clustered on a hillside somewhere, waiting to be wafted into space by baby Jesus or taken by aliens or whatever their wacko leader has told them will happen.

What gets me is what happens after the world does not end on the appointed day, as it never does. You would think these people would slink off in embarrassed disgrace. NO! Usually, the non-occurrence of the prophesied event is cited as proof that the prophecy was correct! Or, they "re-examine their data" and predict a new date at some point in the future.

The thing to do is to ask these people in advance what they would say if their Blessed Event does not occur.

For your amusement, here is an article citing 44 failed end-of-the-world prophecies, covering the period from 992 through 1999 AD.

19. The problem is, one of those nuts is in the White House now
with his finger on the button.

I'm just worried that he could pull a David Koresh and burn the place down around him to fulfill his own apocolyptic beliefs.

10. Yes, the Bible says the exact time and date. It's the word of
God afterall. Sooooo, that must mean that Jesus lied when he said no one but the Father knows the time and date. :sarcasm:

I don't think so! Sometimes you wonder how these people even evolved.
