I found this on wiki recently. Which as everyone knows is the final answer to everything. Smile

Its a list of people who predicted the end of the world or events in relation to it. A huge amount of historical info here.

Incidentally while I have the floor here . . . I was reading in Isaiah 11 this am. I found 2 interesting vs

vs 11 says the Lord is going to restore Israel to its land "the second time". Some people who know a little something about the bible make hay out of the OT passages that say God is going to restore Israel to their land. Saying that was fulfilled in the first return. It is clearly said here there will be two returns.

Vs 15 says in context to end times that the Nile River & the delta is going to dry up. Egypt's identity is and always has been around the Nile river. That would have a huge impact in many ways. Not the least of which would be psychological and spiritual.

It would have a huge physical impact as well on Egypt Sudan and Ethiopia. The Nile is so important that Egypt warned Sudan that if they put a dam on it they would consider that to be an act of War

That was interesting to read. We have just about that many today trying to tell everyone what is in store as these are the end times.

Only God knows the exact hour and time it comes to an end. To many people are studying the signs to try and figure out the dates, I guess.

Isaiah 27/1 interesting vs. right in context in a passage dealing with end times.

In that day the Lord will punish Leviathan the piecing serpent even leviathan that crooked serpent:and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.

Obviously dragon here is not a sea monster but some spiritual being. I don't think either one is referring to the devil. I am also of the opinion that the sea referred to her is the Mediterranean.

Moffatt in his translation of the bible says "The Nile dragon he shall slay" I'm not sure where he gets that but it sure is interesting.

This bit on punish is said in various places in the Bible. Its also said right in this same passage as the one above Is 24-27 The Little apocalypse.

Isaiah 24/21

It shall come to pass in that day the Lord shall punish the host of the High ones that are on high

I am of the belief that he will use the church to do it.

Christian History Magazine has put all their material up on their website. Some interesting stuff there. Anyway They did a issue on the history of thought about the second coming. You can also download a pdf copy. If anyone wants to know the truth of course all they have to do is read O/O. Smile
