In Romans, they killed themselves off through diseases they infected each other with. The Bible codes are speaking of a disease they'll pass through their urine and sweat. It'll be a mutator, too. Maybe that's what finally does them in.
[red flag spotted] Hmm... I recently stumbled upon a "Bible Codes" discussion on overnight talk radio just last week. Allegedly, your so-called Bible codes also point to some sort of catastrophic event to happen in this country (and around the world? I don't remember; I was trying to sleep) on July 4, 2004.
I guess we'll see. Admittedly, I'm considering selling all my stock holdings on or about July 1 (just in case there's any merit to that stuff).
The guy also said the Tribulation is supposed to start later in 2004. Nothing on earth could please me more (obviously, I'm a pre-Tribber ;O). Got a date for that?
