Hat tip to Chemist46 … who posted an article titled “The End Is Coming Very Soon, and Few Americans Are Willing to Do Anything to Stop It!” all over the damned place. lol. Well, it IS a good article.
Q1: Are we really truly living in the end days? (Why, or why not?)
—-[Note: Feel free to interpret the “end days” from a religious perspective (“It’s in the Bible, Stucky!!”) or, a secular one.]
The next two questions only pertain if you believe we are living in the end days.
—- Q2: Does this scare you, or give you hope, or both?
—- Q3: The author complains that Americans are not doing anything to stop the end days. So, can the end days be stopped?
============================ =
Me?
Q1: Yes, the end is imminent.
Not all that interested in what the Bible says about the topic. Believers in literally every generation since Jesus’ death (and resurrection) believed that THEY were living in the end days. They’ve been wrong for 2,000+ years. So, I’m not hanging my hat on that peg.
Rather, all empires come to an end. No way around that. The only question is “when” or “what are the signs”? There are many signs … we discuss them here daily.
But, I will boil it down to just One Big Thing which is currently taking place in America: when evil is called good, and good is called evil, then that system or empire will soon fall … and great will be that fall.
It’s no more complicated than that, folks. Even the prophet Isaiah said; “Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness” for in that day their end will come. Whether or not there is a God, the laws of nature cannot be breached: America will not escape the poisonous fruits she is eating.
Q2: Both. The old guard never goes down quietly in peace. There will be terror, death, destruction, famine, despair, and blood … so much blood, some say up to the horse’s bridle. Can you have war without blood??
My hope is not for myself. I’m not so sure I will survive what’s coming. My hope is for my grandchildren …. that they will have an America even better than the one I once knew.
Q3: No, it can not be stopped. Maybe, just maybe, it can be delayed for a short while, but the arc of the moral universe is long, and it bends towards justice. Were the poor evil schleps in Noah’s days of great evil able to stop the rain?
Hey … speaking of stopping the rain ….

THE END
The prophet, Al Mustafa, has lived in the city of Orphalese for 12 years and is about to board a ship which will carry him home. He is stopped by a group of people, with whom he discusses topics such as life and the human condition. The book is divided into chapters dealing with love, marriage, children, giving, eating and drinking, work, joy and sorrow, houses, clothes, buying and selling, crime and punishment, laws, freedom, reason and passion, pain, self-knowledge, teaching, friendship, talking, time, good and evil, prayer, pleasure, beauty, religion, and death.
Some people are destined to leave early. Writer living.. Singer Dead.
Fantastic voice, band, and song! I’ve only seen AiC with William DuVall.
Is it the end times? It is the end of many things, and the beginning of others. What is ending?
The United States, Western civilization, the rule of law, the US Constitution, morality, personal security, access to good health care, public mental health, wholesome and inexpensive food, money as we know it, non-secular religions, clean public spaces, reliable electric utilities and internet, an independent press, intact families and a whole lot of other things. I could go on, but you get the idea.
So what is beginning? What will the future be like? Blend together your favorite dystopian books and movies with the most evil beings you can think of and that will be pretty close. My own view is that we will live (that is, if we survive the transition, and if you can call it living) in a socialist technocracy where all wealth and power belongs to a small, hereditary royal class. Most people will be monitored electronically 24×7 by AI. People who don’t fit in the program will be culled – organ harvested, put in gulags, killed for entertainment, and ultimately turned into agricultural products. It will be China’s social credit system on steroids.
None of this will be stopped, maybe just delayed through much bloodshed. I live in an area packed full of liberal dumb-asses, so maybe my opinion is off, but as I look around and talk to people it seems not one in a hundred knows or cares about what is really happening. All around I see normalcy bias, gullibility, and a complete ignorance of history and human nature. Plus rampant FEAR of the deadly COVID. Few of these people know how to fight or hunt or handle firearms. Most of them live in a false reality made of social media, video games, media propaganda and government lies.
What gives me hope is the fragility of such a future world. Global catastrophes are much more common that many people think. Add to that the fact that we humans now have the power to bring such catastrophes on ourselves – a real bio-weapon pandemic, or an man made ESD event and so on. Hell, this vaccine stuff could be a first class genetic disaster in the making. A solar event the size of the 1850’s Carrington event would send us back to the stone age for a while. A fresh start! There are other upcoming possible problems – the earth passing through the plasma current sheets that emanate from the galactic center, the wandering poles creating displacements of the earths crust, to name a couple. With 98% of the population gone, it will take us a while to reinvent the wheel – not to mention the sub-dermal microchip.
Am I scared by this? Not really. I’m already old and I wasn’t planning to live forever. I feel sorry for my kids. Mostly I feel angry and disappointed that people are so oblivious. I’m not really mad at the psychopaths that are causing all this mayhem, because they are psychopaths and that is their nature.
Just like MASKS, the PCR covid test is worthless and is largely responsible for this insane pandemic scare.
WAKE UP! Quit wearing masks and tell them to shove their unnecessary vaccines up their ASS!!
Need more evidence that face masks are worthless?
Q1. Yes. In March, when I first realized a mass hysteria was being manufactured right in front our eyes, I felt as if the Lord was about to step right into sight any second and I almost felt as if the angels were about to start blasting the trumpets. Oh, wait… those trumpets herald something really, really bad don’t they? Except the last one, but that’s the one we await, isn’t it?
(… did you ever see some Bible-thumping maniac try to tell you Trump and Pence actually WERE the Trumpets? I did. Maniac.)
And, in a way, that actually is WHY I believe it is End of Days. We live in an era where an Event literally can be broadcast and seen around the world, which is why the Propaganda effort has been nonstop telling us what is correct thinking and what is not. They have been training us to refuse to see what is happening. Those of us who admit we see it happening (the grande delusion of 2020) will be maligned and persecuted for those admissions. The masking of the masses reinforces the theme: See no evil and speak no evil. No one can hear it anyway.
They are too busy bowing down to the New Normal.
Q2. I’m terrified for my boys and what their future holds since neither of them find our agrarian solitude to their liking. I’m also excited to see what happens, because I truly believe there is a God in ultimate control of our souls and beings. But, I’m more afraid of the unknown, I think, than afraid of dying.
Q3. Something comes to my mind about the people humbling themselves and crying out to the Lord, repenting. However, while there was a turnaround for God’s People in the Bible on a few occasions (picture Jonah pouting under the tree), I do not think our society could manage to agree to pray to God together about anything. The first order of business would involve “whose” god (I get the difference, Stucky) we would address and from there it would go badly.
Babylon has fallen.
For what it is worth, I spoke with my Christian Zionist friend this morning and she told me she does believe we are in the end times. She referred me to some articles about the artificial islands China has in the South China Sea and then told me to review Revelation 6.
This is a fair description of what is actually happening in our country RIGHT NOW.
If you don’t help put an end to it, your children and grand children will grow up as SLAVES,
and it will be YOUR FAULT!!!
Gee! That should be posted HERE!
Probably on 6Jan2021 when the Elector’s votes are counted, Trump will win. The Congressional Democrats will Protest that Republicans stole the election and demand a vote by Legislators; and a Biden victory, be damned whatever the process. That will touch off a Communist Revolution and a Counter Revolution; Communist will cut the baby in half; the Union Republic is dead; their Democracy is dead. Americans must never surrender to Communist; Southerners and Westerners will never surrender to Commie Swine.
Do you really believe the alternate electors are going to be chosen? Or is that your hope?
VP Pence will open and count the votes (ref Article XII of the Constitution); of course he will select the envelopes from the State Legislatures, not the Democrat Party, and Trump will win; and of course the Congressional Democrats will Protest, nullifying the National General Election (ibid). Then I think all Hell breaks out over what legally comes next because the Democrat couldn’t care less about the Constitution because they believe The End Justifies the Means.
An interesting scenario…
The bible uses several terms similar to “the end times” for examples: the end of all things,
the time of the end, end of the age, and some translator bias will say the end of time or end of
the world.
Nowhere in the original scriptures do you find the end of time or end the world.
Properly understood in context with the scriptures having relevance to the
original audience, All these similar sayings pertain to the ending of the Old Covenant Mosaic
System. The end of all things pertaining to the Mosaic worship system.
This occurred in ad70 when Christ sent the Roman army to destroy Jerusalem.
That system has never been restored and never will be.
Access to God is through Christ in the New Covenant that never ends.
For all people for all times. Forever never ending. Amen!

The End is and always will be.. every song is covered….. and most moar than once.
That almost sounds profound
Almost…..
Cliff Burton, killed in the bus crash in 1986, was Mr. Bass. See (Anesthesia)—Pulling Teeth -live from Metallica, Kill M All.
Several major happenings are prophesied to signal the end . All but a couple have passed recently in the last 70 years or so . Time has been short since the Messiah arrived signalling the last days arrival . Next up on the list is Babylon or the Daughter of Babylon being destroyed in one hour or day depending on the translator . That is America by the way . Got preps ?
