It is Now Time to Leave the Cities! September 2015

The end is near and every city is to be turned upside down every way. There will be confusion in every city. Everything that can be shaken is to be shaken and we do not know what will come next. The judgements will be according to the wickedness of the people and the light of truth that they have had.–1MR 248 (1902).

O that God’s people had a sense of the impending destruction of thousands of cities, now almost given to idolatry.–Ev 29 (1903).

The time is near when large cities will be swept away, and all should be warned of these coming judgements.–Ev 29 (1910).

God is withdrawing His Spirit from the wicked cities, which have become as the cities of the antediluvian world and as Sodom and Gomorrah. . . . Costly mansions, marvels of architectural skill, will be destroyed without a moment’s notice when the Lord sees that the owners have passed the boundaries of forgiveness. The destruction by fire of the stately buildings, supposed to be fireproof, is an illustration of how in a short time earth’s architecture will lie in ruins.–TDG 152 (1902).

Men will continue to erect expensive buildings, costing millions of money. Special attention will be called to their architectural beauty and the firmness and solidity with which they are constructed, but the Lord has instructed me that despite the unusual firmness and expensive display, these buildings will share the fate of the temple in Jerusalem.–5BC 1098 (1906).

More Fear Porn – BIN should write a paper and sell it at the checkout stand.

Bummer – does this mean I’m going to miss the Seahawks-Packers game in week 2?

For the Christian, NOTHING that happens HERE is a big deal.

THE Authority on Everything asked; “Why do you worry about things that DO NOT matter?”

If “Mystery Babylon” is destroyed, we should be PLEASED, because God’s plan is going along as it should.

True Believers, according to The Bible [OT & NT BOTH!] will UNDERSTAND what is going on! They will FEEL that something is wrong. May not know the HOUR, but we will ABSOLUTELY KNOW the season!

About 8 years ago, I was reading a National Geographic about the Chernobyl disaster, and it was mentioned in the article that the name Chernobyl could be understood as “wormwood.” I thought; “Wow, wormwood, may be God’s vocabulary definition for a “nuclear disaster.”"

THEN Fukushima comes along! If you get the information from nuclear engineers, chemists & marine biologists, you know that Fukushima hasn’t even started! It is KILLING the Pacific Ocean! Sound familiar? That is Revelation’s prophecy of 1/3 of the oceans being killed & WORMWOOD!

Revelation talks about “a mountain” falling into the sea. What else could it be but a “meteor/asteroid?!”

My youngest [20] son’s best friends uncle is COO of a top 10 bank. The uncle has MOVED parents & grandparents to central Europe and told the rest of the family to GET THE HELL OUT of the USA!!!

NAYSAYERS BEWARE!!! “Something” ??? is coming!!!

Ririiiight. so, leaving a city will protect you.

Or, for those impatient imps amongst you: This, obviously, is from 2012, when the last stories appeared about a supposed Newtonian prediction:

Isaac Newton: World Will End in 2060, not 2012
Posted by Ross Pomeroy December 13, 2012

While many Americans likely intend to skip town on Friday, December 21st and head out on a holiday vacation, they might inadvertently find themselves skipping the Earth altogether.

In case you haven’t heard, a plethora of Doomsday scenarios are portended to play out on that date. (Soothsayers are covering all the bases, I suppose.) With such death and destruction imminent, why spend money on expensive plane tickets or resort accommodations? Even if you survive the Apocalypse, chances are that it will still spoil your holiday (what with the kids whining about fire, brimstone, and a lack of McDonald’s). So don’t risk disappointment! In Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy fashion, you can lie down and put a paper bag over your head, instead!

Let’s run down the predictions. If these aren’t mutually exclusive, we’ll certainly be in for a world of hurt:

The Earth may collide with Planet Nibiru.

Earth’s magnetic polarity may suddenly reverse, crushing us all to smithereens.
A giant, unforeseen asteroid will strike the Earth.
There will be a planetary or galactic alignment that will somehow overload the Earth with, uh, gravity… cosmic rays… dark matter… and… um… sheer awesomeness?

Should we take any of these scenarios seriously? At the risk of serious castigation from conspiracy theorists, I’m going to go out on a limb and say not, “No way,” but, “No how.”

V838_Mon_HST.jpg Though purported as planet Nibiru, this is actually the star V838 Monocerotis, and it won’t collide with Earth.

There is no evidence that Nibiru exists, and if it did, astronomers would have been well aware of its destructive trajectory for over a decade. Geomagnetic shifts — reversals in Earth’s polarity — actually do take place every 400,000 years or so, but they are quite harmless to planetary life and occur over thousands of years, not in one, supposedly bone-crunching moment. No asteroids are slated to pose a risk to Earth until 2020, and that asteroid — 2012 TC4 — has a 1 in 43,000 chance of impacting our planet. And astronomical alignments aren’t remotely menacing, only tacitly fascinating to astronomers.

But while we may be in the clear this year, it’s certainly not too early to be worrying about the next cataclysm that almost certainly won’t happen! Calamitous portents abound over the coming decades, but I’d like to gloss over those fantastical predictions from zany whack jobs and focus solely on the forecast provided by one Sir Isaac Newton. After all, he was correct about gravity, the laws of motion, and the spectrum of white light — heck — why not about the end of the world?

GodfreyKneller-IsaacNewton-1689.jpgContrary to what you might think, Newton was not always the supreme rationalist that we’ve come to revere. He actually wrote more about theology and alchemy than science and math combined. Newton voraciously sought out patterns and hidden codes within the Bible and other holy texts, with the same dedication he lent to inventing calculus.

After much reading and surprisingly simple calculation, Newton arrived at a date for the end of the world as we know it: 2060. Luckily for us, he didn’t mean “end” in a literal sense. He picked 2060 as the approximate date that Christ would return and establish a global kingdom of peace. Of course if Newton’s prediction comes to pass, we might have to endure the great battle of Armageddon first, which probably won’t be too pleasant.
