Wellllllll, a hundred years ago, people scoffed at the idea that Russia would ever be a significant enough country to fulfill any shred of Bible prophecies about it.
Then the idea that a modern military would ride on horses of sufficient number in a moder war such that the blood would flow as high as a horse's bridle brought out more derision from the "higher" Biblical criticism schools.
I mean, given the vastness of the plain of Megedo (sp?), it HAD to be a ridiculous notion, right?
Evidently God doesn't think so. being rather specific about things--throughout the Old Testament--they came true precisely as predicted.
Given that the Replacement Theology folk would have us believe that all Bible prophecies purported to be regarding the end times [you know, the era we are so obviously now in]--that all those prophecies were fulfilled by the first century AD. . . there should sure be a lot of fossilized blood in that vast valley.
OH, right, SYMBOLIC BLOOD. I'm not sure what fossilized symbolic blood would look like? Would it bear any resemblence to fossilized CPU's?
Actually, I have wondered if the 100,000,000 figure were an equivalent sort of thing--something atomic weapons would encompass. But I haven't wondered it long. I think God still has an overwhelming tendency to speak very literally and say what He means and mean what He says.
Some have said logistically it is impossible to transport 100,000,000 Chinese to the MidEast.
Nevertheless, God said it. I believe it. And I expect to see it happen from some vantage point in the normal span of my lifetime.
I don't care if he allows satan to transport them supernaturally or if they hitch rides on a UFO mothership. Somehow, the soldiers and the horses and the blood will all be there as predicted . . . in the future. . . evidently the not too distant future.
And now that the evil empire is history, rather than rejoicing in the mighty victories of our Warrior King, the doom mongers assiduously seek other villains to cringe before! Does not compute!
