I'm trying to "follow you"....what has that got to do with 2012? You know, the topic? I could'nt "follow you" back there either. Help me to understand what you're saying. Your opinion matters.

I am saying that 2012 doesn't matter because his coming was a first century event, before that generation passed (Matt.24:34; Rev.1:7)

grace and peace!

I bet you thought you would never see a black president in your "lifetime" either huh, but hey.....we're here, are we not?


Oh and not to mention: The collapsing of the twin towers, a global recession, a pandemic.....do I need go on?

More people died in World War 2, Nagasaki, and Hiroshima, than in the twin towers. The Black Plague killed millions in Europe, the Great Depression was worse than the current Recession. We are still here. This is what we call Newspaper Exegesis. Trying to Exegete the Word of God through current events.

Not to be rude, but you might not have understood the comment because it was a reply to........ Mightynerd? I'm still trying to "figure out you're comment: Rev. (1-7) and what that has to do with 2012! Can we tackle that first?
