Title: What is This I Don't Even [An Armageddon Prophecy... thing]
Post by: Shane for Wax on April 30, 2012, 02:34:53 pm
So. I went to Waffle House the other day and picked up a charming little card. The card held this:

 "THE PRESS AND CLERGY WON'T TELL YOU.

NASA- DEVASTATING SOLAR STORM COMING THIS IS THE FIRST TRUMPET IN REVELATION!

MEGA TSUNAMI! THIS IS THE SECOND TRUMPET IN REVELATION!

The end of days means the end of a 5,125 year Solar Cycle with Solar Flares. NOT the End of the World. December is the End of Days of a year. After Armageddon there is 1,000 years of peace. Start buying canned food. I've eaten canned food 10 years old. Save at home one months pay in small bills.

There's no website, or any links other than for an email that I don't feel right sharing. I was going to put this in preaching and worship but eh...

This is a new 'Armageddon prophecy' on my end. What about you?

Maybe that's why this is so crazy.

I wonder what you are going to do with the months pay you've saved at home when civilization collapses. I don't know about you but when my civilization collapses I'm not paying for shit.

I'm collecting some bottlecaps myself.

I'm with Commander Shepard. I'm collecting bottlecaps too. I'd also collect trade goods, weapons, ammo, etc.  If it's anything like Fist of the North Star, jewelry, gold and other precious metals won't be very useful. I'm also gonna take up a training regimen a la the Zombie Survival Guide.

Personally I'll be stockpiling fuel and if possible engine parts. That shit will be in astronomical demand once civilisation goes down the shitter and the oil stops flowing. It's also good for making impromptu weapons and traps, should anyone decide they want a five fingered discount.

I will be too busy planning the end of the world to prepare for the aftermath.

Mesh: As long as it occurs to you that if it ends, you're screwed with the rest of us. Unless of course, you're harboring Gig. You wouldn't harbor the Omnicidal maniac Gig now, would you?

I am busily preparing my Fortress of Solitude and recruiting my army of minions (to be housed in an annexe of the FoS).  As a final resort, I have already concealed my warp capable solar system escape ship on the far side of the moon. The nav system is preprogrammed for Beta Reticula...

botulinum toxin is a hell of a drug


i find it funny, based on my own (lapsed) knowledge of scripture, the bible specifically warns against trying to predict the date and time of the end of days... as a matter of fact if i recall correctly, it also says anyone who claims to know when the world would end is full of shit.

from a secular perspective, crazy people be crazy. disregard with extreme prejudice

If the apocalypse does, in fact, occur, I'm up for helping repopulate the species with intelligent human beings.

If after the end of days there is 1000 years of peace, why do you need to stock up on tinned food?
If everyone is all peaceful, wouldn't the economy actually be good and function properly for a change?
I for one look forward to the peace and everything that the anti-christ is supposed to bring.
Just in case though, I have prepared the usual escape routes and survival equipment for when the zombie outbreak happens.

well if you read the book of revelations (despite the first few chapters, great read while youre high, btw) before the 1000 years of peace there will be nothing but the unraveling of human society (for about 7 years). the antichrist will demonize the jews (god's chosen people) and there will be great war during which 25% (or more?) of human population will be wiped out.


afterwards, any non-believer is doomed to hell.

When I finally got around to reading it(because of the mainpage quote that said,"read Revelation and then tell me the bible is a fairy tale.") a few months ago my thought was "the Isle of Patmos must grow some real good shrooms." Having recently rewatched Neon Genisis Evangelion I think Gainax wrote the bible if the last chapter is anything to go by, it's a true Gainax ending.

There's a lot more truth to that than you might realize.  Tripping was thought to be a big part of many religions, until centralized churches formed and realized they would wield more power taking that part out.

...That's not what the book of Revelations says at all.  It says that the Roman Empire is a Beast and that Jesus will totally replace it.

I tried reading Revelations once (the Brick Testament version). It kind of read like a cheesy H.P. Lovecraft ripoff, what with all the multi-headed beasts and insanity and ax-crazy angels and whatnot.

I've heard that Revelations was a thinly disguised allegory for the then-modern times of what was going on in the Roman empire.

I've heard that the real world is an allegory for the Bible.

I just read it through The Brick Testament.

What the fuck did I just read again?  It never gets less fucked up.
