Abiathar,
Attempting to change me by public shaming me is a gigantic waste of your time; it could better be put to use by more of your prophetic enlightenment to the masses.
Let’s cut through all of the bullshit regarding this post. It seems that OPs with scriptural content in the title or opening statement don’t fare so well these days on the forum, as I’m sure you’ve noticed. You framed this OP as a secular OP, and the opening statements provided by you supported a secular, opinion driven view of whether current world events could lead to WWIII. I clicked on the topic without realizing you were the originator.
Your shadow Perry helped us all quickly to see what your OP was about; it isn’t about our opinions about Putin, ISIS, etc. It is about what your OPs are always about – stroking your gigantic ego and narcissism and showing all of us poor post-Borgian souls how much scriptural knowledge that you and you alone have. Oh, and Perry, who we can thank for clarifying the intent of your OP on the very first response (do you two follow each other around for support? I’ve got a boner for Cofty and Viviane but I try to love them from afar).
From Perry, the 1st post:
“It wont end there, but it will be devastating: the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone. By these three was the third part of men killed - Rev. 9;18
The death of 1/3 of humans is just sort of Act I as opposed to WW III. I suspect this event will usher in the rule of someone who will come to be known as the Anti-Christ. Then real evil begins. King Jesus will defeat the Antichrist when Israel invites him back:
“For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.” (Matthew 23:39)
I don’t even know what the fukk to say about that, other than it is delusional end-of-time nonsense. Now the good part. If you had seriously intended this OP to be about this secular topic, and it is very relevant, you could have said something like: “Thanks Perry but I was leaning toward a secular, non-scriptural view for this OP.” Or you could have ignored his comment.
But Nooooooo. On the second response to your OP we got the following statement from you which removed any doubt as to the reason for your OP:
“Perry,
I had exactly what you said in mind. End will not come unless anti-Christ arrives first. The most important feature of anti-Christ is that he will sit down in the most holy place [claim of appointment from God]. This is called throughout scriptures, the abomination of desolation. False prophecy is its hallmark. Latest in the series is about Egypt which has been portrayed as an ally of the “South King,” but it is going to be an ally of the North King.) As ex-JWs, we all know very well who the anti-Christ picturizes! That means we are in the Last Generation, very close to WW III.
Mark 13:14-20: “But when you see the ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION standing where it should not be (let the reader understand), then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. ….For those days will be a time of tribulation such as has not occurred since the beginning of creation which God created, until now, and never shall. And unless the Lord had shortened those days, no life would have been saved; but for the sake of the elect whom He chose, He shortened the days.”
Thank you India, Thank you terror, Thank you consequence, Thank you thank you silence, Thank you Perry, Thank you Abiathar (Thank you Alanis).
After 2 posts we understand clearly that this OP wasn’t intended to be about a rational, secular discussion with opposing opinions about the world’s events. It was about your and Perry’s amazingness and awesomeness in prophetic understanding which no one else apparently has but you two.
You had an opportunity to make this OP about something other than your delusional narcissism and your arrogant, ego-driven desire to show everyone on this site your special knowledge of all things scripture and your direct pipeline to the big girl in the sky.
In summary (and please pay attention for future posts because I do not like repeating myself): We left a high control cult where high school graduates with special knowledge of scripture and a direct conduit to god controlled us to our detriment. And yet you seek to take their place as prophet and scriptural sage.
You and those like you deserve mocking and ridicule of the strongest order.
One more thing. I’m a self confessed wise-ass, a little arrogant but a lot humble. I will not change, and no amount of public shaming attempts by you will accomplish that. The very bestest way to avoid me is for you to develop some humility.
