Rapture Ready message board: "Will God allow us to bomb Iran?"
This week's installment of bloodlust and longing for Armageddon asks: will their personal Savior allow the USA to bomb Iran, "possibly with nukes". We also learn that even if George W. Bush has performed poorly as President, it's OK, because everything is "falling into place as though its meant to be".

Special bonus: one poster coins a twofer, "HOMOCIDE bomber", thus using the White House/FOX news moniker for 'suicide bomber' and combining it with a gay slur!


=====

After reading several websites around the net i found one that pointed out that God may not allow us to bomb Iran because it has to be a power to be reckoned with so it can invade Israel later. Anybody see a way we could bomb Iran(possibly with nukes) and have them still be able to fulfill prophecy later?


---

Absouletly, if that is God's will......
---

It kinda makes you wonder, if we in fact to go to war with Iran (which i believe we will shortly), that if they are still around with the Gog Magog Battle :wtf: just how much damage will be we to them, and what will their response be to us?
---

Sadly, perhaps this would be the time that the 'tactical' delay by our government may be giving them the window needed to stop us from having the capability of doing them any harm at all or to be able to come to the defense of Israel.

I am referring to the possibility of EMP or multiple attacks on the US by homocide bombers.

We need to lift our leaders up in prayer every day for them to seek God's guidance.
---

I hear you Morgan. To pray for them and to do so, diligently! The Lord has spoken to me through your post. To be honest, lately I have been feeling very frustrated, and at times angry with our leaders. Our warfare however, is not against flesh and blood.
---

When we do go to war with Iran, I believe shortly, likely within the next 3 months, starting as a series of air strikes and escalating thereafter. Iran will have the helpof the Soviets, North Koreans, Chinese, and Venezuelans.
---

One possibility is that we may be a lot closer to the rapture and Gogg/Magogg than what your post would allow. What if this is that time? None of us know for sure. Any number of things could happen that would cause America not to intervene, including the rapture. Time will tell, and all we can really do is watch and pray.

---

This is a good thread! (As I am typing I almost misspelled thread as threat!) lol lol lol

The fact that Persia is with Russia doesn't mean that they are powerful, just that they haven't been totally wiped out.

Is it sooooooo strange that we aren't a MAJOR ballplayer by the time Gog Magog comes around.

Like it was said.... hopefully for us, due to The Rapture!
---

It looks like we're all alone in this one. Tony Blair says England will not take part in any strikes on Iran. So now, China, Russia, North Korea, Venezuela, Cuba, and Iran have done their job of isolating us. What's next?


Answer: A coalition of Israel,USA and God!
---

Even with the things that seem wrong with GWB and the things that he does.
it seems like every thing is falling in place as if all of this was meant to happen.
---

A couple possibilities:
1. America nukes Iran and this causes the Gog invasion.
2. America nukes Iran and Iran is devestated, greatly reducing its force in the Gog invasion (remember, the prophecy only mentions the nations involved and the percentage of troops killed, it does not say who the major powers are or how many troops there are.)
3. God somehow stops the attack. I say somehow only because the means are irrelavent, as the outcome is pretty much the same regaurdless of how the attack doesn't occur. :crazy:
---

i have alwyas thought with the recent developments, that we are closer to gog/magaog than we think...i do believe like someone said above, that when we do strike iran along with israel, russia, china and other allies could come help or strike us here in the homeland...this could explain the hook and the jaw, and Gog and her allies coming against israel...israel will get hit badly but will survive...what if america gets hit? maybe thats why we arent mentioned in prophecy...
---

If we get a Democratic President in a few years I can see the US pulling out and letting things settle down a bit with the American people. Whether that turns out to be the right or wrong course of action I think that is how it will play out. I think most in the US are sick of the war and want out and I believe that is what they will get in 2009.

That is when you will see Israel going it alone and GOD taking over for them.

I see the US and Israel hitting Iran's nuke sites sometime in the next year and the world turning against us even more. This will weaken our International policy even further and the big campaign promises of 2008 will be pulling out of Iraq and concentrating on homeland security. I think we will be diplomatically weakened to the point where the US is no longer the overseer of the world and that will be fine with the people of the US and with the rest of the world except Israel.

This could be a good time for Gog/Magog to happen and for God to show his love of Israel and his power.

Who the hell is Absouletly? Maybe one of their Soviet pals will proofread them next time. Also, three dots in an ellipsis plus one more for the period. Thou shalt not spell check: 11th Commandment.

If God gave us the power of reason, don't you think that means he wants us to use it?

11. I for one am actually happy that there is a "Rapture Ready" message board.
Hey, I look at it this way; their message board serves dual purposes. It keeps their collective psychosis' at a minimum so that they are harming as few people as possible, and it keeps the number of them that we would otherwise see shuffling down our streets mumbling to themselves at a minimum. That in itself is a reason to want to make sure that they always have their own little corner of the internets.

Although aren't they supposed to be "raptured" already?

At least that's what the status of their board was a couple of months ago. They had a firm carved in stone date for the rapture set and they were all packed and ready to go.

Come to think of it they had a date set a couple of months before that as well.


To each their own, I always say...

13. God will "allow" them to do whatever they want
it's called free will. However the consequences of their actions.. well, lets just say I'd love to be there when they meet thier maker. I love this quote: "So now, China, Russia, North Korea, Venezuela, Cuba, and Iran have done their job of isolating us. What's next?" Yeah, it's all a plot to provoke the country with it's finger on the button. :eyes:

22. One of my favoright quotes over there.
Edited on Mon Jan-22-07 08:36 PM by Bluebear
"Having said that, I do think it should not be long. If He tarries, I will just have time to get my hair and nails done (you know let all I come into contact with know of my Bridegroom and what He has/will do). So i am all spiffied up for Him when He does arrive to take me home. No disappointment, just a few last minute details to take care of to be more pleasing to look at."

31. Unfortunately, they have infiltrated the low Protestants to the maximum.
Edited on Tue Jan-23-07 12:19 AM by nealmhughes
That and Dominion Theology.
My God! My Anglican soul quakes at the thought! A dollop of Daniel, a smidgen of Ezekiel and a dash of Revelations, et voila.
My late stepfather got mixed up with that razzamatazz and I actually didn't know S. Baptists were were into rapturing and tribulating, being content to watch my own parish fight over whether "the college kids" wearing shorts to church was OK. Concensus was, reached by the mink stole brigade: it's OK if they are in HS or college. Not grad school, though. They ought to be learning to wear ties and dresses for formal events by then.
OK, back to the Baptists...my stepfather who did not know me very well at all asks me a short while after I got home from church (an hour earlier than they got out by the way, with no key and only a gas station in the neighborhod to relieve myself) and asked me in all "Neal, what did your preacher say today?" "Nothing much, I think he was sick. It was fast and furious on whatever the Gospel was, but last week it was on the profundity of the statement 'Jesus wept.'"
"Do y'all ever discuss the Rapture? Are y'all Pre-Millenium (or whatever) or Post? I thought he was joking and nearly spat out my tea laughing. He was uncommonly quiet the rest of lunch, as I had hurt his feelings, my mother said. Why? "Because he believes all that Hal Lindsey and other crazy stuff..." She lasted a year by his side, then quietly began to more and more "accept invitations" to go to the local United Methodist...and then just let him play tribulation by himself.
He was honest in his belief in that stuff, "because it's in books and stuff." Wow! I just edited a book...so whatever was in it must be true by their reasoning.
I feel sad for them. It is one step removed from snake handling as far as theology goes.
At least they don't have a spaceship yet! Unlike the Nation of Islam and the Scientologists and Heaven's Gate.

33. Seems like the Rapture Ready kooks are visiting DU
From one of the forums

http://www.rr-bb.com/showthread.php?t=290716

I took hubby to the Pittsburgh Airport once to catch a flight. There was a guy there strolling around with a shirt that said f-word you. Not only did it make him look like a total moron but it was totally offensive and he needed to change it.

To me it is the same as some moron walking around with a porn picture on his shirt. The shirt was meant to incite anger and get a reaction. It did just that and now he is all whiny about the attention it brought. I wonder what his DU name is.
