I'm a Christian and I think it's a bunch of bunk. it is written that not even Jesus Christ himself knew the day or hour when he was on the earth. and Jesus said to beware of false prophets because there would be plenty around. but if it does happen on May 21, I'm ready. Are you?

p.s. is there such a thing as a rapture? don't know -- Bible describes meeting Jesus "in the air" (or clouds?). and that seems to be where much of this rapture stuff comes from.

That's because many Christians give lip service to Jesus being victorious in Heaven and on Earth, but they continue to walk by sight and not by faith in their daily lives, not taking advantage of the dominion of Christ over the nations as well as the power of the Gospel over evil.

Well, the devil is winning whether its the fault of failing Christians or a powerful devil. God needs to come down and set things right himself, as humans are obviously miserable failures at governing themselves or solving problems in general.

Maybe. Maybe the Christians are winning day by day by going to church and having faith in God and they "don't worry...about a thing....cuz every little thing...is gonna be all right". Maybe the world is slowly getting better till one day, perhaps a thousand years from now the world will finally be cleansed of sin and death and Jesus can come down and rule.

I am not a Christian, but didn't Jesus say, when asked about end times, that knowledge rests with my father?

I believe he is a dispensationalist, at least giving a minimal commitment to its teachings. He may not nominally claim to be, but his "research" and prophecies are definitely based off the dispensational view of the "end-times."

Camping is an amillenialist, whereas dispensationalism leads to a pre-millenial, pre-tribulation rapture view of scripture. Amillenialism is a non-literal approach to bible prophecy that holds the world will end abruptly with the return of Christ and history will directly enter eternity, with no thousand year earthly reign of Christ. The theory he is expounding is part a rehash of concepts he promoted in his book 1994 (his last attempt to set a date for the end of the age), and a dreadful mix of symbolic bible interpretation and disputable historical calculations (he sets a precise date for the Flood of Noah that may or may not be accurate). His May 21 date-setting theory is an embarrassment for amillenialism, not pre-millenialism.

The grain of truth in Camping's theory is that although Christ said no one knows the day or hour of His Return, He also taught the watchful will know when it's close ("even at the door"). The Bible does clearly indicate there would be a nation of Israel, and that the capability of tracking all the world's financial activity (by the AntiChrist) would exist at the time of His return, among other specifics suggesting we are now at the door. In the view of many regarding Christ's fig tree prophecy, the Messiah would return within a generation after the Jews regained control of Jerusalem, which also points to us being close to the Second Advent.

Dispensationalism has been disproportionately blamed for date setting and silly theories that all brands of Bible prophecy have been prone to. Dispensationalists, in fact, have often been the ones most adamant in teaching "no one knows the day and hour." The base dispensational concept is that although God does not change, human understanding of His divine plan changes over time as it is progressively revealed.

Because of this, the human relationship with God undergoes partial modification through time. Adam and Eve knew nothing of the ramifications of sinning until after the Fall. Before the Cross, not even the disciples understood there was going to be a Church, let alone a 2,000 year Church era, so much of what Christ said about the end of the age may have been misunderstood with respect to the populations affected. Scriptures cited by anti-dispensationalists indicating believers are on earth experiencing the tribulation, for example, do not distinguish between the church era believers already raptured, versus those who are saved during the tribulation. In any event, the any-moment departure or rapture of Church-era believers and Old-Testament era saints has been taught since the beginning of the Church (see the Didache, pseudo-Ephriam and other early Church writings), so the maligning of dispensational theory as a whole, or as being the source of all "rapture" belief is wrong.

This concept of Satan is totally misconstrued. There is nobody opposing God. If someone could win against God, then God would not be great. Furthermore, if there were anything God could not control, then it would fly in the face of His sovereignty. Therefore, there is no Satan. There is only the adversary in each of us, fighting our good will.

There's this guy David Icke who can speak rather intelligently about the New World Order and their mechanisms of control who received a lot of this information through visions and revelations which contained information about where the elite came from. When he talks about how the elite our controlling the banks a governments of the world, he makes perfect sense. When he talks about the other stuff, it seems pretty unlikely. Alex Jones used to say that David Icke was a great guy who knew a lot of stuff, but the whole lizard people thing was like a "turd in the punch bowl". Recently David Icke has been focussing less on the visions he received and more on the mechanisms of control when he speaks publicly. He has said things to the effect that he could have misinterpreted his visions, or maybe they were symbolic. Perhaps the people who control the world use the lizard part of their brain more, or something along those lines. Alex Jones has him on his show more often now as well.

The main division Jones has with Icke on the lizards/nephilim is that the concept violates Jones' rule about documenting/proving conspiracy views. If Icke actually had valid photos, x-rays, government documents or major media admissions to back up his lizard theory, it would be something Jones could promote, but Icke just talks about it from the point of view of his subjective dreams and visions.

The root of the concept is actually biblical (from Genesis 6, where it reports that fallen angels somehow impregnated with human women and produced hybrids called 'giants' or nephilim); some traditions held that these hybrids could look like lizards. These beings apparently could not be saved, being part angelic, and represented an attempt by Satan to over time destroy the whole human race through genetic infection. God wiped out the infected through the Flood, but who's to say Satan didn't try to interbreed again, producing some new hybrids? Speculation, yes, but it's scripturally based.

David Icke basically preaches what Christians have been saying for 2,000 years now, that Demons can possess Humans. I don't know why he uses the word 'Reptilian,' since he doesn't believe them to be aliens. He thinks they're just inter-dimensional evil entities, i.e. demons.

Even when I try to find info on the DUMBs, I have to sift through hundreds of pages declaring that aliens are ruling the government from the underground. I mean, can't someone believe in DUMBs without believing in alien control? Jeesh.

...or he had some crazy visions that led him to some amazing revelations about how our world really does work and has since revised his stance on the nature of our reality.

I don't think that there are lizards ruling the world, but I'm not going to deny it either. It certainly isn't a requirement and I haven't seen any evidence for it.

I always jokingly tell my Christian friends whenever they mention the 'end times':

"The world will not end in my lifetime. I am not that lucky."

Yes! It's in the Bible...

New Living Translation, Revelation 22:20...

"Come, Lord Jesus! 21 May..." (http://www.blueletterbible.org/Bible.cfm?b=Rev&c=22&t=NLT)

I'm a Christian and I think it's a bunch of bunk. it is written that not even Jesus Christ himself knew the day or hour when he was on the earth. and Jesus said to beware of false prophets because there would be plenty around. but if it does happen on May 21, I'm ready. Are you?

p.s. is there such a thing as a rapture? don't know -- Bible describes meeting Jesus "in the air" (or clouds?). and that seems to be where much of this rapture stuff comes from.

Satan is definitely not winning. If he were, there would be no Ron Pauls. There would be no Douglas Wilsons. There would be no Ken Hams. I could go on and on, but what we see in the political realm is not the only reality for us as human beings. There are good people (blessed by God) thwarting evil and making a mockery of the devil in the world. We, as Christians, do that every Sunday when we come together to worship God.

And Obama's in the Whitehouse. Hallelujah!

And before that we had Bush and millions sang his praises every Sunday. Can I get an amen?

Seriously folks. Jesus said His kingdom was not of this world (sorry Theo) and He promised to literally come again and take His followers unto Himself. He even went so far as to say "If that wasn't true I wouldn't have told you that". I know, I know, you can nate can do some mental juggling to make that somehow not true even though it clearly is. And I love you no matter how wrong you are. ;) But none of this has anything to do with how nutty it is for someone to claim he knows the day of Christ's return when Jesus clearly said "Nobody knows the day or hour of My return". And yes, a lot of really smart people have gotten that screwed up because they think they've found a loophole around the "nobody knows the day or hour" statement. (i.e. nobody knew it back then when Jesus said it, but the Father has revealed it to me now. Let's sing praises on high!) Anyhow, I would no more want to live under the 21st century version of Oliver Cromwell or Pope Benedict the whatever than I would under Osama Bin Laden or whoever else is being pimped as the new Islamic boogeyman. And Ron Paul isn't pushing for a return to theocracy either. Sorry about that.

The main division Jones has with Icke on the lizards/nephilim is that the concept violates Jones' rule about documenting/proving conspiracy views. If Icke actually had valid photos, x-rays, government documents or major media admissions to back up his lizard theory, it would be something Jones could promote, but Icke just talks about it from the point of view of his subjective dreams and visions.

The root of the concept is actually biblical (from Genesis 6, where it reports that fallen angels somehow impregnated with human women and produced hybrids called 'giants' or nephilim); some traditions held that these hybrids could look like lizards. These beings apparently could not be saved, being part angelic, and represented an attempt by Satan to over time destroy the whole human race through genetic infection. God wiped out the infected through the Flood, but who's to say Satan didn't try to interbreed again, producing some new hybrids? Speculation, yes, but it's scripturally based.

No, to be scripturally based, it must actually provide evidence IN SCRIPTURE. That's just a crazy crackpot theory that gives vague reference to the Bible, which doesn't say anything about lizard hybrids.

Does anybody have a pic of Jesus, outside a door, holding a rifle labeled "DEA" and him knocking and asking "Got any drugs in there?"

This concept of Satan is totally misconstrued. There is nobody opposing God. If someone could win against God, then God would not be great. Furthermore, if there were anything God could not control, then it would fly in the face of His sovereignty. Therefore, there is no Satan. There is only the adversary in each of us, fighting our good will.

Satan is a reptilian. He is the "original serpent" according to the Bible.

this is talking about the stucture of the brain, look it up, and the bible is refering to lower forms of thinking, ie egotistical

I think fema, or whoever runs haarp, could be paying this guy to say the end is saturday, think about it, who would believe him? he said it before so when he is right they could portay him as some second coming or whatever, but of course if he is right he wont be around anymore ;)

I'm skeptical of this claim. There is many problems with things coming to end so quickly. Won't this be extremely unfair to the Chinese if this prophecy came true and they never got their huge loan back from US?

Besides, Jesus' second coming also hasn't happened yet.
