Really? What is with you guys? I've been reading end time prophecy for as long as I've been alive (67). With due respect to your beliefs, sometimes you sound like conspiracy types who thought the Twin Towers came down from pre-planted explosives.
This is why I don't describe to organized religion. All bad stuff is part of a prophecy according to a book. I'm a deist similar to the beliefs of Thomas Jefferson. While he didn't subscribe to the Christian religion, he considered the teachings of Jesus as having the most sublime and benevolent code of morals which has ever been offered to man. I believe the same and try to live my life accordingly.
No one compels you to believe as we believe. But the truth of Bible prophecy will be fulfilled literally and on God’s time table.
