Revelation 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
By Comet Elenin and a loud noise from above.. Come up hither*
how exactly that will manifest itself...I do not know...
Jesus said we will change in a twinkling of an eye....

These are *Cosmic Events* Solar and Lunar Eclipses, and what will cause a *Great Earthquake* IMO Comet Elenin in our solar system...
Often used in the Old Testament context as a metaphor for great political changes, empires falling, that sort of thing. Not, I know, how a lot of people are wont to interpret John's Apocalypse. Fact, none the less.
Comet Elenin
You might want to consult some actual astronomical websites about it, instead of the whackadoodle stuff.
The return of CHrist will be a Divine Cosmic experience, not a human physical one.....
The Star of Bethlehem was not a metaphor, it was an actual cosmic event....When Jesus asended to the Father, it was not a metaphor, he went up in a cloud that hid him and this was seen by his diciples.....
Signs and Seasons are not metpahors, they were used as a *Harvesting* and biblical holy days in the OT....
Let's have the url please, before the crowing starts.
If I am still alive on earth, how could I not?
Let's lay a bet down here on FR. I bet that Comet Elenin is of infinitely small consequence and will make no difference at all to humanity.
How are you?
I'm sure that He'll have an impressive business card...

Should hope so. Otherwise, if it's any size at all, Chicxulub time!
(Which reminds me, http://www.passc.net/EarthImpactDatabase/index.html is kind of a cool site to browse through.)

What so many people don't understand is that sometimes physical happenings are simply physical happenings, and not a cosmic conspiracy. So many people have never grown up and never shed the infantile egocentrism that we are all born with. They think that everything that happens is all about them.
Well then, I am sure Jesus just spoke to hear himself speak when he said in Luke 21:25
There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea.
Luke 21:26 Men will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken.
Joel 2:31 The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD.
LUKE 21:28
When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”
****I look up, not sure where you are looking....****
If everything continues on, if comet Elenin is a bust, then give up the ear tickling nutterie, conspiracy mongers and gnostic sources.
GOD gave us the gift of prophecy, which you like to twist into *Fortune Telling* The Book of Daniel, the Book of Revelation and the entire bible is based on the promised Messiah, his coming, his ministry, his death and resurrection and his return to this earth.....
How are you any different than those who stood outside the Ark and laughed and scoffed at Noah? afterall it never had rained on the earth, so I assume they must of thought NOah was out of his mind when he built the ark...In fact I am sure Noah and his family also had some second thoughts when they closed the door to the ark and had to wait 7 days before the rain started. I am sure they questioned themselves or maybe had become doubtful or weary...
Do I know for a fact Comet Elenin is the return of Jesus Christ....NO...However GOD told us to test everything and look for things that might be true or deceptive, just as I never fell for Al Gore’s Glo-bull Warming, becuae I already knew what Jesus said about the *Latter Days* and the weather conditions on earth..
Jesus return to this earth is not based upon him showing up in Jerusalem, driving a hybrid with an announcement of saying *Hey guys I’m here! It is going to be a super-natural divine cosmic event.
Jesus is coming for those who are looking for him, the soul that longs for the LORD Jesus Christ, the ones who have enough oil in there lamps, the ones that look for the Signs up above, the ones that hear *The Call*
Read the Baylonian Talmud, one profound event that was the final stumbling block, that sealed the fate of mankind in GOD destroying the world with water, was man marrying thier same gender...
Speed up to our time.....Jesus said the last days would be just like the Days of Noah....
It is your choice not to look for the Christ, but I am looking for him and it will be with Comet Elenin, if I am wrong that is fine, because I will still always continue to look for Christ’s return.... (Signs and Seasons)
? Why did Jesus want to look for his return, Tara?
Ah...
So we would not fall into the *Traps* of this world...
Mark 13:28-37
Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near:
So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors.
Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done.
Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.
Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.
For the Son of Man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch.
Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning:
36Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.
37And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.
thank you.

Here is an article from his (Leonid Elenin's) website: Comet Elenin FAQ
Included in this video compilation is an interview on Russian television: Assorted Elenin videos. Unfortunately, I don't speak Russian, so I can't translate it myself. Perhaps a Freeper knowledgeable in Russian will stop by and help us out :)
Here is a discussion of the interview from an astronomical website: Leonid Elenin Elenin Is No Dwarf Star. Another interesting article on Elenin from their site: Some Quick Notes on Comet Elenin
And finally, for anyone interested in astronomy in general, or this comet in particular, here is a nicely-done summary on Comet Elenin, put together by an amateur astronomer in Adelaide, Australia: Comet Elenin: the FAQ for the worried.
I hope all this was helpful to you or to anyone who might have interest in these subjects.
