Just to be honest with you, if the end came today, I would be surprised. So would everyone else....including those who say it could happen at any time.

Today would be a good day, then, since "no man knows the day or the hour."

I have no doubt that the bible is futuristic and not "completed." However, I do think that we need to do some serious rethinking of what we mean by that. I have trouble tolerating the notion, for example, that Philadelphia was the 18th & 19th century missionary church. Such overlays are so arbitrary.

You just jinxed it.

Maybe tomorrow...

Oops, I just jinxed it.

I am a former tank crewman and commander [tankist in Israeli MilSpeak] and have been to Megiddo; the kibbutz there makes swell jewelry that makes great take-home presents, as well as serving as a location for an Israeli prison for enemy terrorists. I do not look forward to participating in a tank fight there, but the locale is ideal tankfighting terrain, with useful positions for artillery support nearby. And I will not be at all surprised if such events take place in my lifetime or if I am involved.
