Jack Van Impe has figured out what the recent market downturn means.....
Edited on Sun Aug-26-07 07:49 AM by Roland99
5:1Come now, you rich, weep and howl for your miseries that are coming on you. 5:2Your riches are corrupted and your garments are moth-eaten. 5:3Your gold and your silver are corroded, and their corrosion will be for a testimony against you, and will eat your flesh like fire. You have laid up your treasure in the last days. 5:4Behold, the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you have kept back by fraud, cry out, and the cries of those who reaped have entered into the ears of the Lord of Hosts. 5:5You have lived delicately on the earth, and taken your pleasure. You have nourished your hearts as in a day of slaughter. 5:6You have condemned, you have murdered the righteous one. He doesn't resist you.

5: 7 Be patient therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient over it, until it receives the early and late rain. 5: 8 You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.


Ayup!

The housing bubble bursting means that the 2nd coming of Jesus is nigh!!







I really need to stop flipping thru cable channels on a Sunday morning. ;)

1. Well, at least some of the fundies have noticed...
...the passages in Scripture declaring that the Lord will act against the evil that is the exploitation of the poor by the rich.

Bet they don't make the connection, though... :-(

16. Nah, they won't make the connection


They will blame feminists, gays and birth control.

Just like always.

"If women and queers and fornicators would all be destroyed, we could exploit the poor and live high on the hawg all we wanted to. Gawd duzz not CARE if you trample the poor, rape the planet or wage wars that kill millions.

He jest hates peace freaks, lib wimmin, lesbians, drag queens and the Pill. The Bobble sez so."

9. No, you used to call some minimum-wage schmuck at a call center
and screw with their performance rating (for not closing the call quickly enough) and get the whole call center crew a lecture from the supervisor about handling calls like yours.

I quit that job after about 3 months...the Ginsu knives* orders weren't so bad, but the Sunday mornings were horrible.

Hey, maybe yours was the call that convinced me to quit? :)


* yeah, this was a long, long time ago. My "McDonald's" job. Well, one of about three. Glad that phase of my life is long gone...

3. Just another way to keep the donations from being cut off by
those who can ill afford to make them.

I loathe these leeches and pariahs.

12. . . .

:rofl:

I never heard that before! But the Antichrist is supposed to appear to be a great Christian. I've never seen a computer that held any religious views.

Does this guy read the Bible?

14. Found these in their question of the week archives.
I guess the antichrist is a person, but he will use the tubes and internets for his nefarious plans. :scared:

Our money says “In God We Trust”. Will the antichrist’s name be on our new currency? As Christians what implications do we expect to see?

No, I don't think so. First of all, because Ezekiel 7:19 says that the millions upon millions of people left after the rapture are going to be casting their gold and silver in the streets. It will be meaningless. Why? Because they have gone to this new numbering system through these computers that, as I said earlier, will do up to 250 trillion calculations per second. No one will escape them. They will know everything about us at all times. 250 trillion calculations, and he will keep track of all of us as mentioned in Revelation 13:16-18. And he causes all both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand or forehead that no man might buy or sell, unless he has this mark. That is what is coming.

------------

I hear so much about the Antichrist in the End Times, but what is the role of the False Prophet? You don't hear too much about what the False Prophet's role in the end times would be.

I John 2:18 says that the antichrist shall come. And he rises to power in Revelation 13:1. He comes out of the area of the Mediterranean Sea, and that’s important, in the light of today’s program about the European Union, because all those nations are centered around that area. And of course, he has a co-partner in verse 11. And this one rises up out of the earth, and he has the two horns of a lamb, but he speaks as a dragon. That identifies him with Christianity, because Christ is the Lamb of God, John 1:29, but he defects from the faith, apostasy, Revelation 20:2. And he’s going to make an image to this Antichrist, and that’s what Daniel was talking about when Zeus was set in the altar back in 196 B.C., on Christmas day. And this one will have the image of the Antichrist placed in the temple, making the temple abominable in the eyes of God. And then he’s going to give this number. He’s the promoter of the 6-6-6 numeral through all these computers we mentioned today.

18. Wow...amazing the lengths the feeble-minded will go to to distort Revelation.
Using it as some sort of checklist or guideline for a "second coming".


Idiots.

10. They always forget that Jesus said that only

the Father knows the day and the hour. It's a bit unChristian to keep predicting the end of the world.

Things look really bad now, and it's easy to start wondering if the world will end soon. Even if you're not religious, you know the world will end eventually.

Just remember that things have looked really bad, and been really bad, at many other points in history. When the plague ravaged Europe, for instance, or when the barbarians overthrew Rome, or when Hitler was in power in Germany, Austria, Poland, Italy, and France, and bombing the shit out of Britain. A lot of people died in all those events but others survived and the world went on.

Televangelists prey on people's fears for a living. It's despicable.

13. Jack Van Impe has a scripture for everything
I bet he had quote from the Bible predicting that the Colts would win the Super Bowl, Michael Vick going to jail and Dale Earnhardt Jr leaving DEI Racing.
