And we know what Jesus said about that- "as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it also be in the day of the Son of man".

We're at that day!

Really.

There have been cults and religions set up on the premise that we “are at that day”. That “day” has been on the very near horizon for the last 2,000 years.

Are you claiming to be a prophet? Did you compare yourself (and did someone compare you to) Noah?

You are not Noah, nor are you a soothsayer or a prophet. You are a person with an Internet connection and a disturbing fixation on the End Times with a strong desire to contort contemporary news to fit scripture.

My best friend’s father has a painting of the rapture in his living room. He actually hopes that it comes to pass during his lifetime. Given his age and his imminent appointment with the Creator, it won’t. But he always had his nose in the newspaper scouring for evidence of Jesus’s return.

I generally hold the religious in very high esteem, so I am sorry if I am coming across as rude. But I see this as religion’s ugly side... the Jim Jones / Hale-Bopp side that religious individuals wield as a weapon.

There is no humanity in wishing for the End Times, and I see that aspect of Christianity as a sad little death cult.

Sorry.
