Nobody ever says "Forsooth! There happens thenceupon a serpent across my path!" No. No, it's more like "Holy $#!t!! A f@c%ing snake!!!"
Ha Ha Ha Ha!!!!!!

Consider also that the Triburapturist crowd insists that we take the words of Daniel and Revelation literally--at least when it suits their preconceived, bizarro concept of the "end times." But consider just this one passage from the "prophetic" informaiton in the above link:
""At the time of the end the King of the South shall attack him; and the King of the North shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, horsemen and with many ships; and he shall enter the countries, overwhelm them and pass through."
Will that army of the "King of the North" indeed be an army that relies on horses and chariots? Remember--the "prophecy" is anticipating something in our immediate future, here in the 21st Century--something that is future tense..
Woe unto any nation, North or South or East or West that decides, in the 21st Century C.E. to wage a campaign of conquest and destruction using "horses and chariots"! But that form of warfare is just the kind that the Triburapturists who put that blithering article together were anticipating in 2013.
Unless, of course, they have found a way to interpret "horses and chariots" as armored personnel carriers and Abrams-class tanks. These Darbyite-Scofieldian prophecy hobbyists have their own expedient way of picking and choosing as they struggle to fit the round pegs of their fantasy theology into the square holes of Biblical and historical reality.
