Why do people send someone like me junk like this? Is it supposed to scare me or something? I'm not afraid of storms, never have been.

 

“This war starting in Syria is the war that will spark the rapture and bring about the tribulation hour. We are now in the calm before the storm.”

Note that the article, near its beginning, has this little sub-heading:  "Everything is Pointing to Tribulation Beginning in October."

 

Note also that the article is dated September 8, 2013.

 

A full year and more has now passed and guess what?  That old Tribulation did not show up.

 

How is a false prophet to be identified?  The Biblical test is as follows:

 

Deuteronomy 18: 22:  "When a prophet speaketh in the name of the Lord, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the Lord hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be aftraid of him."

 

Examiner.com  flunks the Deuteronomy 18:22 test!

 

The Triburapturist crowd is nuts!

'Sides. If it was real, they'd be speaking in plain English instead of that Shakespearian crapth.  Bigtime trouble requires a short, simple, concise message. Oh and cussing.  Lots of cussing.

  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!!!"

I knew it was over a year old. My point was why someone would send a link like that to a known doubter and/or unbeliever. Evidently they were trying to put the "fear of God" in me, but it didn't work.

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.
