I saw the previews of the Road at the theater and it was so sinister, I didn't want to see the movie. It also reminded me of the movies with Mel Gibson as Mad Max

Storing Food,............YOU'VE GOT FOOD

I am sure when you've been around a diverse crowd, the subject comes up. If ever the people find they are starving, they know a Mormon always has food under the bed.

Have you ever read the reports from the Historian Josephus, about the conquest of Jerusalem.

To condense........The Roman soldiers originally went to quell the rebellion, by the Jewish leaders and their followers, who wanted their Independence and they didn't want to pay their taxes. (tea party). Then something happened in Rome and the soldiers withdrew just as the prophecy said. .....When that event occurred as Jesus SIXTY (60) years earlier had said, the Christians that heeded the warning fled to the mountains.........a few years later the Romans came back and remembering the heavy losses from the prior encounter, they laid siege upon Jerusalem at the very moment the city would be filled to the max. During Passover.

Imagine the horrors with the city walls? With no food for so many people, imagine what and WHO they were eating, Not only could they you, not escape, the vicious marauding gangs were in control. You were either conscripted to man the walls or if they would let you pass, you were stripped of anything of value........How the attempting escapees must have felt, realizing they should have left two years earlier, as they had been told to do.

These movies the Road, Mel’s portrayals and history itself reminding us, how fragile our civility is.

If you store the food, I wouldn't let anybody know.

The other day on this blog site the issue of gun control was heated, I really don't want to have a gun, but when the times get desperate, I wonder if it will become necessary, for those who didn't heed the warnings?

Think Somalian warlords, or the civil unrest in Tunisia, Greece, maybe here at home

YOU'VE GOT FOOD; what you going to do with it?

Do you remember this "Living under the fear till nothing else remains"

Am I ready? Hmm...good question. I was thinking that the end of days might end up being something like I have read in Cormac McCarthy's "The Road" I have thought about stocking up on canned goods and vitamins just in case.

I like the song and the sentiment.

I envy you, that you know how to make these kinds of attachments to your comments.

I am not as fearful of the end either, I just have such strong feelings for those who'll suffer at the hands of the gangs.

read Josephus' account of the siege of Jerusalem. what the jewish nation did to it's own

Have you seen the link DF' did at pope john paul

WOW

Yes, many religions have

In reply to I see no contradiction. One

Yes, many religions have foretold the end, and you don't even have to be religious at all to fear the end due to one weapons system or another (or even genetic engineering, as you previously alluded to). I'm not personally fearful of the end, but I'll admit that it seems more likely than now (in that we have greater technological abilities) than in the past. Regardless, Tim McGraw's advice can apply to anyone:

I see no contradiction. One

In reply to Although you are correct that

I see no contradiction.

One wouldn't have to be a Christian.Think back to the battle fields of the Civil War, or the Great World Wars, many thought for sure, Whats up with this?

Non- Christians, asking could it be, the end?

I don't know if you like astronomy, but I found this interesting website about Halleys Comet Non Christians fearing comet omens.

Great Ball Of Fire!

It seems like it's one thing after another. Sunamis, major flooding, major earthquakes. threats of Nuclear exploitation just to name a few fearful events. .

Now some would say, "it's because the world has gotten smaller, 24 hour news adding to the fear." SO ...

So now, who can say "I didn't see any warning signs, I didn't get the sense of anything"

As if; given more information is an excuse to deny. "So keep me in the dark and then I'll get the sense of it" ????

Foretold “fearful sights and from heaven great signs” at the “conclusion of the system of things"

Well-informed persons, including Non-Christians know; 50 percent of the satelites launched are for military puposes. They too fear, just as the Christians do, signs from the heavens.

I wonder what the people will think when some Nation sends satellite killers after anothers eyes .That'll be a spectacle to see, in the heavens.

Although you are correct that the New Testament makes it clear that no one will know when it's coming, you seem to contradict yourself with this:

A lot of people and not just Christians sense something’s up, there have been a lot of things occurring, that have frightened people.

People have been "sensing" something's up for about 1900 years (or more, if you're not just talking about the second coming).

He's good. He has a very good way with people. Fluid.

I agree with his sentiments about how people reason the date of 2012 means anything except a new cycle for the Mayans.

2012 is all hype.

What I am afraid will happen; is 2012 will pass and nothing happens, and mankind thinks to himself. We don’t want to hear, that Jesus is coming

A similarity to the lesson taught in the fable of the boy who cried wolf. After awhile no one believed the boy, and when the wolf finally appeared, no one believed him. But the wolf did come and destroyed the flocks.

If a lesson was to be learned from the hype, it is this “What do I need to be doing now, if anything, to be prepared for that day”

So if the hype of some “end” day, does nothing more than making us reflect, on how we live. That may be a benefit.

From a Christian viewpoint, the Great Day of Deliverance is unknown. ³² “Concerning that day or the hour nobody knows” “But keep on the watch”

A lot of people and not just Christians sense something’s up, there have been a lot of things occurring, that have frightened people.

Christians were told to view the seasons as an illustration “Note the fig tree and all the other trees: When they are already in the bud, by observing it you know for yourselves that now the summer is near. In this way you also, when you see these things occurring".

People are afraid we may be in the season of the end.

We just don’t know the day or the hour. Are you ready?

In reply to Really, Resistance -- Don't

Think about this as a science fiction movie

Pan to a Chinese factory, the manager is told to put melamine in the baby formula. Hundreds of small children die, because industry wanted to squeeze a few more dollars.

Pan next to England where cows are stumbling and we discover mad cow disease.

The ranchers or who ever made the decision to put bone and meat by- products to fatten the cows, screwed up . Instead of acknowledging they messed up, they in their greed, think, how can we continue using the by- product of slaughterhouses.

Some genius decides lets change the genetic code that allows herbivores to become carnivores.

Topping that off with genetically altered grain feed, A whole generation of livestock destroyed genetically.

The dream the pharaoh had about the Great famine in Egypt had a minor fulfillment then.

Pan to the scene today, millions of people Earth- wide, suffering from a Famine, created by man altering the Genetic code.

Taking years to reestablish the original gene pool, until that can be restored, mankind will have to just wait, and millions will die.

The ugly cows are those whose genes were transformed to carnivores.

Who will save mankind before it is to late, he’s not only screwed up the water and the air, he has now so altered the food chain we may never bring it back

Enter Morgan Freeman to assure the Nation, the government has been storing as much seed stock to reestablish the food supply. Under Yucca mountain.

Because the government, by the people and for the people will never perish. God bless you and may he protect you. , (because were getting the heck out of town before you )

While the rich buy a ride on the yucca mountain express.

I love the accordion, I guess because I grew up listening to them. That would have been quite a trio with you, your grandomther and your uncle. I think if you sold your mom's LPs you might be sorry some day. Do you know that people are buying LPs just for the cover art now? They frame them and hang them on the walls.

I don't get the songs of today, either. I'm totally square when it comes to music. I want a melody!
