3As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, "Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the close of the age?" 4And Jesus answered them, "See that no one leads you astray. 5For many will come in my name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and they will lead many astray. 6And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet. 7For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8All these are but the beginning of the birth pains.
9"Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for my name's sake. 10And then many will fall away[a] and betray one another and hate one another. 11And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. 12And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold. 13But the one who endures to the end will be saved. 14And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.

Well then the Bible must be true because there's no way those happen all the goddamn time.

All of these "prophecies" have been occuring non-stop since before the supposed existence of Jesus. There is only one item in here that has any real meaning whatsoever: the close of the age. It's not the beginning of Jesus that coming, it's the end.
remember NY has alot of immigrants
and he may or may not be correct in his english but i think he is right about the end times ...they are coming
but that was true 2000 years ago
or even before the earth was here the end was inevitable
even if you dont believe prophecy you must admit we are killing the world ourselves(no im not a tree hugger)

P-
but if you look at it from a scientific point of view...it is much different today... earth quakes, ecology, manifestations in the sun..that have great effects on earth. more wars and famine now..unheard of viruses that have developed in the last 20 years.. not the same as 2000 years ago
.
oh and i think all that live in america are from someplace else..
I just realised I am Jesus Christ!
I must be because I can prophesise accurately:
There will be wars, famines, earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, volcanic erruptions in which people will die...
...and people will lie to each other, and kill one another, and be born and die...
..and the more stupid persons amongst ye will continue to quote a book written thousands of years ago, as if it were anything but mans' early, flawed attempt to explain things.
