h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

22Then he said to his disciples, "The time is coming when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you will not see it. 23Men will tell you, 'There he is!' or 'Here he is!' Do not go running off after them. 24For the Son of Man in his day[c] will be like the lightning, which flashes and lights up the sky from one end to the other. 25But first he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.

26"Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man. 27People were eating, drinking, marrying and being given in marriage up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all.

28"It was the same in the days of Lot. People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building. 29But the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.

30"It will be just like this on the day the Son of Man is revealed. 31On that day no one who is on the roof of his house, with his goods inside, should go down to get them. Likewise, no one in the field should go back for anything. 32Remember Lot's wife! 33Whoever tries to keep his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life will preserve it. 34I tell you, on that night two people will be in one bed; one will be taken and the other left. 35Two women will be grinding grain together; one will be taken and the other left."[d]

37"Where, Lord?" they asked.
He replied, "Where there is a dead body, there the vultures will gather."

That's from Luke 17

The sun was shining on the sea,
Shining with all his might:
He did his very best to make
The billows smooth and bright--
And this was odd, because it was
The middle of the night.

The moon was shining sulkily,
Because she thought the sun
Had got no business to be there
After the day was done--
"It's very rude of him," she said,
"To come and spoil the fun!"

The sea was wet as wet could be,
The sands were dry as dry.
You could not see a cloud, because
No cloud was in the sky:
No birds were flying overhead--
There were no birds to fly.

That's from 'Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There' - 'The Walrus and The Carpenter'

Lewis Carroll. Hmm.

I think I posted too long a chunk there. Hardly anyone's probably going to read all that. The particular bit I felt moved to post was this:


Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man.

'But of what sort is this God? First he envied Adam that he should eat from the tree of knowledge. And secondly he said, "Adam, where are you?" And God does not have foreknowledge, that is, since he did not know this from the beginning. And afterward he said, "Let us cast him out of this place, lest he eat of the tree of life and live for ever." Surely he has shown himself to be a malicious envier. And what kind of a God is this? For gread is the blindness of those who read, and they did not know it.'

that's from The Testimony of Truth 47:1-48:4.

KYradio came back. Was anyone ready?

"If God is love, and if God is also omnipresent, then the Devil cannot exist. If the Devil exists, God cannot be love and also be omnipresent. Yet, an omnipresent God of love and the Devil are both said to exist. It doesn't take Sherlock Holmes to figure that there is something wrong here!"

Hi KZ,

Am I to understand that due to the complete absence of mag 8 earthquakes last year - and their continuing absence this year to date - you are now abandoning that line of argument and instead saying that life carrying on as normal is a sign that The End Is Nigh?

Or are you simply predicting another Flood? (Based on past accuracy: crack out the shades folks, it's gonna be a scorcher )

PS: How long does someone have to be missing with no body recovered before they can legally be declared dead?

if the world comes to an end tomorrow will God cease to exist?
where in, is it written that God is love but not hate?
for all the struggles men have made to build cities from the dust and fields that nurish a multitude enough to fill this galaxy:
was there never one born, as true; as Jesus of Nazareth?
can a fool speak truth at least once a day as even a stopped clock is gauranteed to be right twice?
was that right ?
will they that preach the end of this world be spared the fate they foretell?
do you have to believe in God, for God to believe in you?
is this too much that has escaped from my head onto this virtual page?
is anyone awake????

Is there anyone to awake?

i am

Maybe Jesus will come
On the day we die
Our last breath near sigh
Loving arms we were expecting

Maybe Jesus will be there
when have left all that we care
A welcome to the Kingdom
An expectant host by the door

Maybe Jesus came
And need not come again
Sewing a seed that germinates in another place

Maybe Jesus came
A reminder like those before
Treading a well worn path
Teaching of love and not of war
