Christian&#39;s eschatology or apocalypticism view the end of time as the consummation of perfection on God&#39;s creation of the world. The prophecies of the end of times is addressed in the Bible at the Old Testament&#39;s Book of Daniel and New Testament&#39;s Book of Revelation.&lt;br /&gt;Some philosophers think that an accelerating rate of scientific progress could cause a technological singularity that could dramatically change the course of human history.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Bible at Matthew 24:6-7 says(King James Version from www.biblegateway.com):&lt;br /&gt;&quot;6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.&lt;br /&gt;7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, guessing the end of times is a topic that always fascinates human race. But the Bible is crystal clear when it says in Matthew 24:36 (KJV from www.biblegateway.com)&lt;br /&gt;&quot;36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As you can notice, it is not written &quot;... but my Father and the Mayans only.&quot;...</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://2012apocalipse.blogspot.com/feeds/7634726199370579083/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://2012apocalipse.blogspot.com/2009/10/what-bible-says-about-end-of-times.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3141446250735851115/posts/default/7634726199370579083'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3141446250735851115/posts/default/7634726199370579083'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://2012apocalipse.blogspot.com/2009/10/what-bible-says-about-end-of-times.html' title='What Bible Says About The End of Times'/><author><name>rmattos</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07621818382275986815</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141446250735851115.post-2726751425459985251</id><published>2009-10-28T08:31:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-28T08:49:22.244-07:00</updated><title type='text'>What Bible Says About September 11th, 2001</title><content type='html'>The &quot;function&quot; of the prophets on the Bible is to make prophecies on future events.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Look at Daniel, for example, Chapter 8 verses 1 to 7 (taken from the King James Version of the Bible at www.biblegateway.com):&lt;br /&gt;&quot;&lt;br /&gt;Daniel 8&lt;br /&gt; 1 In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar a vision appeared unto me, even unto me Daniel, after that which appeared unto me at the first. &lt;br /&gt; 2 And I saw in a vision; and it came to pass, when I saw, that I was at Shushan in the palace, which is in the province of Elam; and I saw in a vision, and I was by the river of Ulai. &lt;br /&gt; 3 Then I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there stood before the river a ram which had two horns: and the two horns were high; but one was higher than the other, and the higher came up last. &lt;br /&gt; 4 I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward; so that no beasts might stand before him, neither was there any that could deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will, and became great. &lt;br /&gt; 5 And as I was considering, behold, an he goat came from the west on the face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground: and the goat had a notable horn between his eyes. &lt;br /&gt; 6 And he came to the ram that had two horns, which I had seen standing before the river, and ran unto him in the fury of his power. &lt;br /&gt; 7 And I saw him come close unto the ram, and he was moved with choler against him, and smote the ram, and brake his two horns: and there was no power in the ram to stand before him, but he cast him down to the ground, and stamped upon him: and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand. &lt;br /&gt;&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Very interesting, isn&#39;t it?&lt;br /&gt;Some may say the ram represents United States (no beasts could stand before him) and the two horns would be the World Trade Center. The goat is usually used as a symbol of evil. The goat comes from West, without touching the ground (airplanes?!?)... The goat cast the ram down to the ground.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://2012apocalipse.blogspot.com/feeds/2726751425459985251/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://2012apocalipse.blogspot.com/2009/10/what-bible-says-about-september-11th.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3141446250735851115/posts/default/2726751425459985251'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3141446250735851115/posts/default/2726751425459985251'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://2012apocalipse.blogspot.com/2009/10/what-bible-says-about-september-11th.html' title='What Bible Says About September 11th, 2001'/><author><name>rmattos</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07621818382275986815</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141446250735851115.post-7121160744397020854</id><published>2009-10-27T10:34:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-27T10:56:23.154-07:00</updated><title type='text'>The Truth About 2012</title><content type='html'>From Nostradamus Prophecies to Maya Calender, from Egyptian Prophecies to I Ching, everything points in one direction.
