It's prophesied in the Bible in Rev. chap six and food will be very high priced. Revelations 6:5 When he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying, "Come and see!" I saw, and behold, a black horse. He who sat on it had a balance in his hand.

Revelations 6:6 I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, "A choenix of wheat for a denarius, and three choenix of barley for a denarius! Don't damage the oil and the wine!"

Revelations 6:7 When he opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, "Come and see!"

Revelations 6:8 I saw, and behold, a pale horse. He who sat on him, his name was Death. Hades followed with him. Authority over one fourth of the earth, to kill with the sword, with famine, with death, and by the wild animals of the earth was given to them.

Yes, please show the relationship, other themes that lead to this being the end times. Without that info., I don't think its valid to just pluck info. out of revelations and say y2k disasters are the cause. A born-again believe who may (based on further info) not know enough.

-- thomas saul (thomas.saul@yale.edu), September 14, 1999.

I don't believe that 2000 will be the end of the world predicted in Revelation.

I do, however, believe that this can influence and enhance those forces which will have a predominate role in those times.

For example, if the world goes to "heck in a handbasket" next year, the planet will be ripe for a dynamic person to step foreward with solutions and plans, be it the anit-Christ or his predecessor. He may have a large enough following to establish "Peace...peace...peace". A hungry world will be willing to follow anyone with these credentials - that is a litteral hungry or a hungry for leadership with an aire of truth.

Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior. I do believe that His second coming will be within my lifetime - probably soon.

Y2k may not be the explosion of Revelation, but i believe that it will lite the fuse.

You can ignore the Book of Revelation altogether & still be nervous. 1. There are many other, non-Christian prophets of semi-doom & earth changes, particularly among Am. Indians, UFO buffs, Nostradamnus enthusiasts, those who watch the weather & the sun carefully, etc.

2 there are non-biblical Christian prophecies, such as Fatima, Garanbandal, Akita, whole bunch of others, gloomy forecasts in general

3. there is that general gut-feeling that millions have that things aren't right & that some profoundly unpleasant change is coming.

-- Hillbilly (Hillbilly@possum.creek), September 14, 1999.

Hillbilly.........

Honestly, you're wasting your time with these guys........the context of the writing was that these things would SOON come to pass.......it was clear that the intent was that SOON would occur within the lifetime of those that first read the words. However, to propagate their incredibly poor and bizarre interpretation of the Book of Revelation they pull a line from a completely different Book, totally out of context to try and prove that John's SOON could mean thousands of years!!

There is no wonder that people think the Bible makes no sense when it is bastardized so badly!!

Historically, the Book of Revelation was always considered to be figurative language describing the fall of Israel and the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem.....in other words, the end to the old system of being under the law.

I think it is in the Book of Matthew where it says "This generation shall not pass away until all these things have taken place........"

The end-of -the-world junkies again bastardize the context and claim that it was referring to the generation that are alive at the end of the world. However it is clear that the writer was referring to the people he was talking to and not some future group of people.........

As a matter of fact, the phrase "This generation" is used 35 times in scripture, and in EVERY SINGLE OCCURENCE it refers to the CURRENT generation.

Anyway, sorry for the long-windedness. However, as I have said many times before in this forum, I will stop correcting the goofy scriptural interpretations as soon as the guilty parties stop posting them!

gee craig. you need to get your "bastardized" theology straight. ok, you non-biblical folks--don't pay craig any mind. he makes things up! the bible was not talking about something that would come to pass in the time of the bible writers. it was for a distant generation and the generation that would see the beginning of the events would live to see their end as well--it would happen so quickly once it started. prophecy is written to be understandable to the generation that must live through it. prophecy sometimes is like looking at a range of mountains as well. you see the tops and they look close but sometimes they are really far apart (as in many years apart for the various parts of the passage/prophecy). you see the tops but not the big valleys between them. so it just looks like it happens all at once. also, the prophet might give a very short term prophecy and a long term prophecy together. the shorter term prophecy sometimes was used to establish credentials (like Matt 24 and 25--the temple prophecy was the short term) and show that they could be trusted for the longer term prophecy.

Craig, I'd love to hear more about the early "church" (kerch, was it?). Do you mean the Ebionites in Jerusalem, or Paul/Saul's house- churches in Anatolia?

As for the "monster-god" you describe, is tha the GOD of the Bible, and if so, is that elohim (feminine AND plural), El Shadai (some translate as "god of the mountains", others as "the many breasted god", or YHWH, the lord of (military) hosts? Any others come to mind?

-- Hillbilly (Hillbilly@possum.creek), September 14, 1999.

Hillbilly.......you bring up some very good questions.

The gospel pronounced by Paul is much different from what is taught in most churches today. It is clear from the new testament writings that Peter and James did not gracefully accept that which Paul taught and opposed him strongly.

The fullness of the gospel that Paul taught leads to the inescapable conclusion that God had shown him the eventual salvation of all of creation, including all of mankind.

One interesting fact: Paul NEVER spoke of ETERNAL torment or warned against going to hell. Secondly, Paul never spoke about the need for individual confession of sin.

What are the two main topics preached on in most of todays so called Christian churches: Why, going to hell and confession of individual sins. Go figure!

Another interesting statement someone made here is that they believe the Bible WORD FOR WORD from Genesis to Revelation. Which of the thousands of versions that have existed are they referring to?? Many say the King James Bible yet even that version has had many re- writes. Most of the WORD FOR WORD crowd don't even know that the original King James Bible contained 5 additional books that were later removed!

-- Craig (craig@ccinet.ab.ca), September 14, 1999.

tt.........

Realizing that this is a bit deep for those that haven't studied it I will try to simplify it.

THIS is not THAT. THIS GENERATION, in all 35 times the phrase is used in the Bible, ALWAYS referred to the generation the writer/speaker was talking to. Somehow this one occurence is different from the rest???? I don't think so.....not in the real world!

THAT generation would refer to a later one. THIS one is the here and now and is consistent with the rest of scripture.

And Mr. Worried............

You know, just because I have a different opinion to you is no reason to be rude..........I have never used PROZAC sir: albeit I was close to needing it in my fundamentalist days!

-- Craig (craig@ccinet.ab.ca), September 14, 1999.

Craig, right again on the Apocrypha (selected books)...As far as the WORD FOR WORD arguement, my favorite is in, I think, II Chronicles (little help please) describing the Temple of Solomon and the "ocean" in the front courtyard, the great basin measuring 10 cubbits in diameter and 30 cubits around its circumference. Let's see, that makes pi = 3.00000, and a perfect 3.0, I may add.

Or perhaps the one where YHWH tells Moses no one can look upon his face and live (Exodus), then look back to Genesis, where el shadai sits down to dinner with Abraham....

I just can no longer buy the entire compendium as divinely ordained, error free and perfect in every way. I _can_ buy it as a spiritual document (god, I love PROVERBS and WISDOM)with great insight, but not always 20-20.....

Folks

This thread should have been deleted. Craig thumbs up to you.

If the "faithful" are going to read into the bible at least use the King James version. Notice the differance in the text. Believing in the Bible word for word is not going to help.

This is just fearmongering plain and simple.

6:5 And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.

6:6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.

6:7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.

6:8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.

I would be interested in hearing your reasons for claiming that Paul was a universalist. The ultimate restoration/redemption of the earth indicated in several passages, although I am not sure that salvation would be the appropriate word to describe it.

Too many things to talk about in this thread. But this one is quick.

Bowls have an inside diameter and an outside diameter. I wonder how thick the walls would have to be, if the diameter was measured using one set of walls, and the circumference was used measuring the other set, to get a value of pi? Sounds like a good math problem or brainteaser. Bet its solvable...

Quoter

I suggested that the thread should be deleted not Craig. I was just agreeing with what he said. Sorry for the confusion.

Learn to communicate with god in a closet not a Y2K forum. This is speculation in its extreme. I have ejoyed the Bible but it was written in a manner that reflects the time (times) it was created. The King James Bible is a divine book IMHO but used by people for their own agenda is not its intended use.

Restricting free speach would never be my intention and if a Christian thread talked about a community related issue then that would be cool. But quoting Revelations is dangerous business. There are other means on the internet to discuss this issue rather than throwing out on a Y2K forum. Specially one that is multi denominational. I have no doubt about my ability to quote Daniel, Ezekiel (sp?) Genesis and some others that may contain "end of the world visions" but they have little or no relevance to the Y2K issue and most likely would be just adding gas to a flame for no real reason.

Revelations is a strange book even for the Bible. It was written in a way that is obscure and almost mythological. One would have to understand the symbolism of the images John discribed and have a deep understanding of the Essene belief to delve into the stranger stuff.

And just to assure folks that it isn't the "end of times" the Temple was to be rebuilt in the time of the return of Christ. To my awareness that is not likely to happen in Israel.

Now back to our regular programing.

-- Brian (imager@home.com), September 15, 1999.

---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- "Cornerstone for the Third Temple Sukkoth 5760 (1999)

On Monday 27th September, 1999, the third day of the Feast of Tabernacles, at 09:00 AM, The Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement will hold an historical event; the cornerstone for the Third Temple will be carried to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem to be laid on the south- eastern corner of the location of the First and Second Temples to start the godly process of the rebuilding of the Temple. The event will start at the Western Wall Plaza close to the ramp leading up to the Western Gate of the Temple Mount.

As usual, it appears that the Arabs who still manage the Temple Mount, will do their best to prevent this event from taking place and the Israeli authorities will not allow the cornerstone to be laid on the Temple Mount because of fear of the hostile Arab reaction. The Israeli authorities will only allow the cornerstone to be brought close to the Eastern Gate of the Temple Mount and to the City of David. However, we still have almost 2 week until the event and we will do our best to convince the Israeli authorities to open the gates of the Temple Mount for the cornerstone.

This event, which was the biggest dream of the Jewish people over the last 1900 years since the destruction of the Temple in 70 C.E. will completely change the status quo in Israel, the Middle East and all over the world. It will fire the imagination of all mankind and open their hearts and eyes to understand the godly end-time task which G-d gave to modern Israel. This will be a key event which will not only change the life of Israel but the life of all mankind. The rebuilding of the Temple will bring the major end-time events to a climax and open the gate for the coming of Mashiach ben David. This will show that we wish to bring the G-d of Israel and His commandments and laws into the centre of our life and the Word of G-d in Isaiah 2:2-5 will become a reality in our generation. "And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow to it. And many people shall go and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths; for from Zion shall go forth Torah, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. And he shall judge among the nations, and shall decide for many people; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, nor shall they learn war any more. O house of Jacob, come, and let us walk in the light of the Lord."

G-d is ready for this great vision to be fulfilled in our lifetime and the great godly event of the rebirth of Israel in 1948 opened this era. We are living in a great godly time and we know that G-d is expecting us to rebuild His house. When we founded the Temple Mount Faithful Movement, we immediately understood that we are living in G-d's timing and we decided to be G-d s vessel for this great godly cause. We felt privileged to dedicate our lives for this goal, not just as a theoretical vision, but to make it a practical event in out lifetime. To those who do not have the vision and the godly values to understand this and who say that the time to rebuild G-d's house in Jerusalem, because of fear of the Arab Islamic reaction, and the other enemies of Israel all over the world, including the great powers, we shall say what Joshua and Caleb said when the 10 spies told Moses and Israel that they could not take the Promised Land because of the giants: We shall go and take the land which G-d promised us and we trust that G-d will give us success and defeat all the giants. We shall also say what the prophet Haggai said in the name of G-d to the poeple of Israel at a very similar time in the life of the people of Israel: "Thus speaks the Lord of hosts, saying, This people say that the time has not yet come, the time that the Lord's house should be built. Then came the word of the Lord by Haggai the prophet, saying, Is it time for you, yourselves, to dwell in your well timbered houses, while this house lies in ruins? And therefore thus says the Lord of hosts; Consider your ways. You have sown much, and bring in little; you eat, but you have not enough; you drink, but you are not filled with drink; you dress yourself, but there is no warm; and he who earns wages earns wages to put it into a bag with holes. Thus says the Lord of hosts; Consider your ways. Go up to the mountain, and bring wood, and build the house; and I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified, says the Lord. You looked for much, and, behold, it came to little; and when you brought it home, I blew it away. Why? says the Lord of hosts. Because of my house that lies in ruins, and everyone of you runs to his own house."

The laying of the cornerstone will be an exciting event. In the early morning the 4= tonne marble cornerstone, which according to the Word of G-d, was not cut with iron, will be taken under a chuppah on a flat-bed truck covered with Israel flags. A priest, who will wear the original priestly garments prepared over the last years in Jerusalem according to the godly laws after much research, will follow the cornerstone. He will carry the vessel to draw the water from the Pool of Siloam which will be poured on the stone. Other vessels which were also recently reconstructed for the Temple Mount will also be carried by other priests. Levites will play musical instruments which were reconstructed according to the design of the musical instruments of the First and Second Temples. They will also blow shofars. From the Eastern walls and gate of the Temple Mount, the cornerstone will be taken to the City of David and be anointed to be the cornerstone of the Third Temple in the same place where 3000 years ago, King David anointed the Ark of the Covenant of the First Temple. From there, the cornerstone will then be taken. Followed by the crowd, to the Pool of Siloam where the Biblical ceremony of the drawing the water, as done in the time of the First and Second Temples, will be performed. The water will be poured on the cornerstone. In the Biblical times this was a special ceremony performed by the pilgrims together with the kings of Israel , the priests and the Levites. It was a ceremony full of joy and celebration when they asked G-d to bless the year and to give them a lot of rain and to bless the ground.

In this event we shall renew all of these and other Biblical traditions and bring them close to the hearts of people and we shall give all the people of Israel and all the world the feeling that it is again a reality in our lifetime.

Friends and members of the Temple Mount Faithful Movement from Israel and from all over the world will participate in this exciting event and everyone is called on and invited to be together with us on this special day.

The event of the building of the Third Temple, the end-time Temple, belongs to everyone in the world. G-d dedicated and anointed Israel to rebuild the Temple, but He expects everyone to participate and to be a part of it because the Third Temple will, according to the Word of G- d , be "a house of prayer for all nations". We call on everyone in the world to join us in this godly work. If you can join us on this day in this event you will be welcomed with deep appreciation and love. If you cannot come, be with us, encourage, support and help us in the coming time in any way that you can. Our activities in the coming year will be very intensive and your help is needed even more than at any time in the past.

May G-d bless all of us that in this new Hebrew year, and very soon, we shall see the fulfillment of this major godly cause, the coming of Maschiach ben David and that we shall stand hand-in-hand before G-d in His rebuilt house in Jerusalem and we shall thank Him and give Him glory for the great privilege that He gave us of acting and working for this great cause at a time when it was so needed. This day is soon to come.

A happy and blessed new year to all of you. May the G-d of Israel bless you.
