[eschatology] six perspectives

1. Aurora puts an interesting scenario and it might also be interesting to combine it with a few others. Hers goes a bit like this:

“UNIFIL kept finding Hezbollah arms and did nothing to stop the flow.” That is, until last month, when the U.N. actually caught them with a truckload of weapons and called for their disarmament. Hizbullah will now begin the takeover of Lebanon’s army in order to march on Israel.

Within Israel:

Tzipi Livni will step in and try to keep the collation together. She will fail and new election will be held. The nation will hold its breath, but I believe that Benjamin (Bibi) Netanyahu will return as Prime Minister. Thus return Israel to a position of strength.

The 2007 Winograd Commission sent the IDF a clear message. Clean up your act! And the IDF went into action. They went back into training. Today’s IDF is a much different than the one Hezbollah fought in 2006.

On January 20, 2009 Barak Hussein Obama is sworn in a President of the United States. His Middle East advisors are all from the Carter era including Zbigniew Brzezinski and Samantha Power. They start a very pro-Arab, anti-Israel foreign policy starting with the cutting of aid to Israel.

In the summer of 2009 (it can be no earlier than this due to the weather), Hezbollah and Hamas step up attacks on Israel. Israel mobilizes. Hezbollah then instigates another war (kidnapping of a soldier for instance). Israel attacks Lebanon.

Hamas tries a breakout of Gaza (like the one the did in Egypt), Israel finally attacks in full. Iran gets into the act and launches Nuclear attacks on one or more of Israel’s cities. As her cities burn the IAF retaliates and launches their own Nuclear weapons against Iran.

Instead of condemning Iran for lying about its nukes, they fully condemn Israel and a multi-national military force is formed to invade Israel. The US takes the lead and orders its Navy to launch its fighters against Israel. The US Army sends 150,000 troops to invade.

I'd take issue here and bring up the fact that the U.S. is by then effectively the SPPNA under the control of the NAAC by March 2009 and this slowly becomes more visible.

2. Svali's take [supposedly the satanist elite end time view]:

One of the olive branches offered by the UN when it takes over is that they will prevent war in the middle east, and this will be greeted with joy by many. At the same time, guns and funds [are supplied] to both sides to keep the conflict fueled.

There will be continued conflict in the Middle East, with a severe threat of nuclear war being the culmination of these hostilities. An economic collapse that will devastate the economy of the US and Europe, much like the great depression.

[There'll be an induced collapse and ] the government will call in its bonds and loans, and credit card debts will be called in. There will be massive bankruptcies nationwide.

Europe will stabilize first and then Germany, France and England will have the strongest economies, and will institute, through the UN, an international currency. Japan will also pull out, although their economy will be weakened.

3. Uh huh. A glance at the Mayans [take your pick of articles] says basically:

The Mayan calendar shows that as we get closer to 2012, time will start to collapse in on itself. Meaning that from our perception, time will seem to be speeding up. But in fact, we are just doing more things, in a shorter amount of time.

Through the use of the internet, more events are happening simultaniously and closer together. Cell phones allow us to connect to each other more frequently, so simultanious events have more possibility of arising.

So, on this 5th Mayan Day, there's a consciousness change in humans and this 26 000 year cycle ends on December 23rd, 2012.

4. Right. Now to the monotheistic religions - Judaism first:

The Temple Institute, a controversial organization dedicated to preparing for rebuilding a Third Temple in Jerusalem, has been attempting to identify Red Heifer candidates consistent with the requirements of Numbers 19:1-22 and Mishnah Tractate Parah.

In recent years, the Institute identified two candidates, one in 1997 and another in 2002. The Temple Institute had initially declared both kosher, but later found each to be unsuitable.

The theory is that before the Third Temple can be built, a red heifer must be found and sacrificed. The cornerstone can then be laid, something symbolically tried on in 2001, causing:

Earlier in the day, 21 Palestinians were wounded when they clashed with Israeli policemen in protest of the symbolic cornerstone-laying ceremony...

There's little doubt that the laying of the cornerstone and attempt to rebuild the temple would result in the Muslims of all nations attacking in force.

5. The Christian eschatology basically has the following scenario, as far as I can understand it:

There is a falling away of morals and society, conflict proliferates and somehow Jerusalem is encompassed with armies. There are many false prophets and people claiming to be Israel's saviour.

One of them is believed by Israel and makes a covenant with her. He defeats the armies arrayed against Israel but that ushers in the real troubles. Famines, earthquakes and celestial disturbances increase.

Somewhere along the line, maybe three and a half years in, the covenant is broken, the renewed sacrifices in the temple are ended and there is an "abomination of desolation" of the temple - presumably this man setting himself up to be worshipped.

Also along the way is a method of ID where everyone has a chip in either the forehead or right wrist, without which he can neither buy nor sell. This chip is directly connected with this false saviour.

6. The Muslims have it this way:

The Jews will be gathered together. Final battle between Muslims and Jews. Quran also contains a version of the "Gog & Magog" war from the Bible with several differences.

Major Signs:

1. Gross materialism

2. Women outnumber men

3. Muslims defeat Jews in battle; Muslims and Christians battle unbelievers together, then Muslims defeat Christians in battle.

Minor Signs:

1. Increase in bloodshed and war

2. Contraction of time

3. Religious knowledge decreases

4. Prevalence of the ungodly

Pretty good, huh? So, put it all together, from Aurora to the Muslims and there's a scenario to contemplate.
