Neither has Arianiam or Donatism or Marcionism or Montanism... it’s not the one and only
onedurful.
Case in point is the year 430 AD -- Attila, Alaric, Vandals, Huns, Goths, Heruli, Angles, Jutes, etc. all attacking the Empire. Must have seemed like the end of times
Or in the 10th century -- the end of a 1000 years, you have Magyar attacks, Saracen attacks (the Saracens had conquered Spain and Sicily and even parts of southern Italy
you are legend.
ok. it’s just that we think we’re living in the end-times when in comparison to things that happened in 430 AD, in 1452, the 9th and 10th century, or in eastern europe from 1939-1956, this looks like a cakewalk..
Dude! Your Catholic right! Yet you dont know what your talking about yet you want to teach others? and express your opinions. You couldnt even mention Sennarcherib and Nebuchadnazzar from the bible when it was appropriate to me. These times in Catholic Prophecy: Bible and Catholic saints prophecy agree that these times are whats known as the little chastisement, although we wont consider it little, with the Big chastisement being the second coming.
Try reading some of the below,all of which carry book reviews by me:

Please I dont wish any further correspondance nor do I wish to further enlighten you. 9 times out of 10 my comments are addressed to ‘none’, I addressed mine to your name the article poster, my mistake.
Reading is the path: The Bible, Prophecy and History. Good day.
I don't want to waste any more time enlightening you, so do stop. thanks

“WISDOM is a reference to Solomon(Solomon was renowned for and prayed for wisdom)”
Our pastor last Sunday did a brief description of Revelation.
He described it as truth being told using fantasy. “This would make SUCH a GREAT movie!” He talked about how one word would have evoked a thousand words in the mind of the Hebrew reader. The DRAGON (satan, sin, evil, etc.) Red (blood, covenant, temple sacrifice, Jesus’ sacrifice, the prostitute’s red sash, the blood on the doors during Exodus, etc.)
He said in the 22 books of Revelation their are 250 references to the Old Testament.
And just as the prophets of the OT, some of it is interpretation of current events (when it was written) and also of future events. I was surprised to learn a few weeks ago that the OT prophets spent most of their time (and words) on describing and interpreting current events. Not as much time spent on foretelling of events in the future.
