  1 Thessalonians 5:1-11
  
  5 Now as for the times and the seasons, brothers, YOU need nothing to be written to YOU. 2 For YOU yourselves know quite well that Jehovah’s day is coming exactly as a thief in the night. 3 Whenever it is that they are saying: “Peace and security!” then sudden destruction is to be instantly upon them just as the pang of distress upon a pregnant woman; and they will by no means escape. 4 But YOU, brothers, YOU are not in darkness, so that that day should overtake YOU as it would thieves, 5 for YOU are all sons of light and sons of day. We belong neither to night nor to darkness.
  
  Golly!
  
  The Earth is not to be destroyed and Armaggedon happens during a cry of Peace & Security.
  
  I believe this!

  It has nothing to do with pride, and everything to do with EVIDENCE!

  Do you have any EVIDENCE to support your belief that the scripture you quoted is true?

  Secondly, I'm not sure what point you are trying to make. Would you state it more clearly?

  Indeed, something has just hit me right between the eyeballs: the realization that you are full of shit.

  Sherwood, have you met the Shining One yet? I think the two of you have a lot in common. You would get along just great.

  Actually, to a scripturally spirit minded (obedient) person like myself, a few facts for you to consider:
  
  It is a prophecy of the future, not necessarliy present, though the clamour of the cry abounds in abundance...
  
  It is a fact seen (beleived to come) to be true with sprititual eyes, not just scientific knowledge.
  
  Thus, it states those "other" prophecies about the Pangs of Distress will cultimate to the Cry of
  Peace and Security Dan 2:35, 44 Matt 24:38 Rev 17:13
  
  The estranged of Jehovah are distraught over the spiritual blessed ones, otherwise, they wouldn't clamour over the reporting of this truth (understanding) in our times.
  
  The Leaders (kings) of the world are cautious over many of these bible passages, but it is Jehovah who gathers them to band together in the midst of a culminant cry regarding Peace & Security. Psalms ch 2 (dual prophecy, initial fullfillment 1st century 33 C.E.)

  Behold Serwood, the "spiritual blessed one", whose beauty and power is so great that we are all "distraught" as to not be like this great "spiritual minded" one.

  Sherwood, you're so full of yourself, you wouldn't know spiritual if it bit you on the nipple.

  Sherwood,

  The peace in the middle east is an astounding fulfillment of this prophecy! In Africa we see peace as never before. You are so "spiritual" you can't see the physical reality in your face. Keep on spreading the love Sherwood ol'boy. That's what God is all about, right? Here's an overview of our peaceful world.

Idiotic.
