It isn't about making something come true, but more in the lines of accepting that which will happen, because there is no way of stopping it. So when the evangelicals see events unfold that simulate end times of biblical prophecy, they get all excited. However, I do have to wonder at times as to which Bible they are reading, so as they come up with some of this stuff. (a government embassy is not a Holy Temple)

The authors of the Biblical chapters saw in their lifetimes, changes (patterns in development) in the earth and its people and they wrote it with a sense of hope, that in the end we all might be saved.

Through the creation of the Islamic beliefs though, theirs is a different take on the making of (your word) mythology to come true regardless of how many get hurt. Their Imams talk of the 12th Imam who is to return and bring peace to the earth ...

EXCLUSIVE: AHMADINEJAD’S END TIMES SPEECH TO THE U.N.: Gives most detailed explanation of Twelfth Imam to date; tells UN leaders Mahdi will “soon” reign over world

"Islamic theologians say Muslim political leaders today are supposed to set into motion the annihilation of Judeo-Christian civilization as we know it and create the conditions of chaos and carnage to hasten the arrival of the Twelfth Imam. Then the Mahdi is supposed to turn all these wars and killings to his advantage and establish justice and peace."
_____________
10 - 12 years ago, there was nothing about Islam and a 12th Imam. One person mentioned it in an interview, like Christ is to Christianity and everyone knows, the 12th Imam and the belief in such an entity was something rarely mentioned. To get the 12th Imam to arrive is to make sure the only religion is the Islamic one ...

And that is where the Holy war of the Bible comes in ... btw: With some sects of Islam they do not put up with, disrespect and there is no choice.

I spent my childhood years in a church hearing these things preached but no one really made the 'who' clear to me. As an adult I no longer attend church and I'm no biblical scholar ... these things I've pieced together from what I remembered, what's been posted on c-d and what woke me up to pay more attention to the world I live in, was 9/11. That was the sign to break all signs, (for me to realize) change is coming and its going to hurt, a lot.

The evidence is more than ample, despite your insistence that there isn't any. Too bad for you. You just don't like the way God made it, and you don't get to set the terms of what constitutes evidence. There are millions of believers who will testify to it, and your opinions are irrelevant when all is said and done. Once again, there are two paths to take in life: God or satan. Your CHOICE. If you go with satan, then brace yourselves for burning lava in the lake of fire for your CHOICE. You rejected love, so you'll eat the fruit of your own doings. So, stick your head in the sand and declare "There's no God!, because in my heart I don't like the terms of life".

Where is this evidence? If the evidence was so clear I don't think there would be thousands of different religions not to mention many sects of Christianity.

Maybe, maybe not. Nonetheless, God's Scriptures are being accomplished with respect to Israel and the final days of this civilization. King Jesus is about to set up His Throne in Jerusalem with great power to rule and reign on earth. Democracy will be no more; you're about to find out what Kingdom government is all about with a perfect holy and righteous King -- Jesus.

As the Earths core cools, and the moon slowly drifts further out in orbit, there will be less geothermal activity and slacker tides. The Earth will remain while humans ability to survive on it will be the question.

When will the miraculous sky gods of all these religions come to lend a hand?

And, people will be mocking right when it happens -- just as they were doing when God flooded the whole world in Noah's days. The mockers were all of sudden panic-stricken believers, but it was too late for them because the door to the ark of safety was closed.

There is no maybe to it Trump is trying to make his fan base happy. Period.
So we keep hearing for the last 2,000 years. A perfect and righteous God/king doesn’t create evil just to play hero. You might want to remember that Jesus was supposed to come back in the time of the prophets.
He’s late.

Would God have entrusted a man with the qualities of Trump to ensure the survival of the human race, or, do you think he would be one of those wiped out in the flood?

Trump is one of those imo, if God can make a donkey talk ... he doesn't have to be anything, he just has to be and God's will is served through the person, through the choices they make in life.

btw: I had often wondered what would make people in this country move back to their home countries ... and then came Trump.

Again, you don't set the terms. God has given much evidence and there are millions upon millions of eyewitnesses. When all is said and done, you'll know that I'm telling you the truth. Until then, stick your head in the sand. Your CHOICE. God gave that to you, chose LIFE (God) or burning lava (satan).
