Volcanoes, earthquakes, floods, droughts, famines, rioting
A very bright, previously unknown comet will appear and coincide with the time of great geological troubles, with earthquakes and volcanoes erupting and disrupting weather systems. This will cause widespread famines and droughts, and social upheavals in unexpected places. Nations that are considered prosperous and powerful, particularly western nations, will be weakened. They will be torn with civil strife and rioting as people migrate to areas that have water and can support crop-growing. The social upheaval and weakening of political structures will help the Antichrist come to power.
A great and rich power will be subject to serious natural disasters, particularly earthquakes and flooding, and rend the nation from end to end, causing enormous conflict, despair, and misery. The wealthy power will be bankrupted attempting to deal with its disasters. Three other great nations will send aid to help the citizens survive.
Earth changes will take place that will help the Antichrist's drive for world conquest. In central Europe, southern Europe, and in the Near East, particularly around the eastern end of the Mediterranean, there'll be severe floods. As a result of the disruption to local governments by the natural disasters, the Antichrist will move his troops in under the disguise of helping the people restore civil order, but really use this as a device to take over countries, and to use the populations like slaves.
Serious economic problems will persist along with great social unrest, contributing to the ease with which the Antichrist can seize power. The frightened and hopeful populace will be vulnerable to his demagoguery. The Antichrist will use the disasters as opportunities to overthrow governments and sneak spies into a country. Martial law will be declared in many areas to stop rioting and looting. The Middle East, the source of his power, will not be as devastated as the rest of the world. He offers assistance to other countries trying to recover but he will eventually stab them in the back. Crazed leader launches nuclear bombs on Mediterranean and Europe
During continuing unrest in the Middle East, one of the leaders will be able to get a hold of an nuclear bomb. He will go to the greatest lengths over the smallest things and will not hesitate to use the weapon because his obsessions with deadly warfare. The people he is warring against retaliate with a nuclear weapon. The country has a coast on the Mediterranean.
One of the bombs will land in the Mediterranean instead of the land, poisoning all the fish. The passages of trade in the region will be disrupted so that the people on the other coast of the Mediterranean will be desperate for food and will eat the fish anyway. It will happen near the east coast of the Mediterranean in a region of dark-colored cliffs.
The nuclear weapon being dropped by one of the Middle Eastern countries will spark off yet another war on top of that war. European and Western nations will try to interfere to diminish the threat to oil supplies. When the European countries try to interfere, the crazed leader who earlier dropped the nuclear bomb will use the rest of his arsenal on Europe, most striking the closer southern part.
The European Mediterranean coast, particularly that of Italy and France, will be almost uninhabitable, and Italy will get the brunt. This leader is not the Antichrist but helps to set the stage for the Antichrist to rise to power with little or no opposition. The Antichrist will wield great power and authority; no one can argue with
"Exactly, but he also said to look for signs in the heaven's and earth."
Even if there were 'signs in the heavens', would you or anyone else, know what you were looking at and what it meant?
I doubt it!
The earth will be subject to serious natural disasters untold by the weather channel. The great superpower will fail in its Federal effort to help the needy primarily because of their skin color (Bushes fault) The great savior will rise up and take power (Jesse Jackson)
Why would He tell people to look for signs if it was not possible for them to understand them?

It's not quite the same without the sound, but it still makes me chuckle!

What are you talking about? these thibgs are mentioned in the Bible, we were not made to be in total darkness even though none of us will know when the end will finally come.
Anyone know what Nostradamus said would be the result of the Red Sox game tonight, and does Pappy win the MVP?
I can't use the word "doomed" around my friends because it sets them off.
" but he also said to look for signs in the heaven's and earth."
and just where in the Bible did Jesus say that??
hmmm.......
I'm Catholic and am not as well versed in the Bible as my Protestant brothers & sisters but I do recall it being said in the Bible "So be prepared, for you don't know what day your Lord is coming." Matthew 24:42
I think it's kind of scarey that you're friends and I have the same sense of humor! Oh gee...I'm doomed, doomed I tell you!!!

I have been wondering what Nostradamus had to say about this. (Sarc) Sounds a lot like the Democrats.
Luke 21:25 - And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
and
And, read all of Mathew 24, Jesus talks about what signs to look for.

As you can see, Jesus expressly stated that we will not know the day when He will return. How do we do that if we do not study the prophecies of scripture and look for their fulfillment?
You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him…
He said to the crowd: "When you see a cloud rising in the west, immediately you say, 'It's going to rain,' and it does. And when the south wind blows, you say, 'It's going to be hot,' and it is. Hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky. How is it that you don't know how to interpret this present time?” Luke 12:40, 54-56
now would that be a "Stop" sign or just a "Yield" ???
and would you know it if you saw it???
I think I'll just walk the straight(pardon the pun) and narrow and leave the "prognostications" to you "experts!" LOL
well then you contradicted your boy Nostradamus...'cause he doesn't have a clue either!
helloooooooooo????
"we were not made to be in total darkness"
No, we weren't.
But just because there will be 'sign's, doesn't mean everyone will heed or recognize them. Some may, and some may not.
And even if they did recognize them, most would probably ignore them anyways.
We live in an age where most things that occur, that general fall outside of the 'main stream' thinking are just brushed off as 'natural' or the 'it won't affect me' syndrome.
It's like telling a child not to play in the street because they may get hit by a car.
There answer generally is 'I won't get hit' because they just don't think it could 'happen to me'!
People, in God's eyes, are like children.
And not very well behaved 'children' at that!
I said this came from the author, that is what I posted no more no less, you're reading into things and assuming which we all know what happens to people that assume.
Well I hope that people are aware but if not then I guess they will reap what ever happens, for me I know at least I plan on stocking up with lots of water and hopefully ready for what is definetly to come.
So we agree, this Nostradamus is all BS! LOL
If 'what definately is to come' happens, you won't need water.
Or anything else for that matter...
