Armageddon

I stood atop the fortress Megiddo plains in the Jezreel stretching all around from John's Apocalypse believers know this site where the last battle will be found. Through God's wrath seventh Angel is unleashed by quake and fire, hailstorm now levelled ground wailing from the followers of the beast earth and man laid waste by trumpet sound. But now I think that we knew all along as murder stalks the French and Belgian streets that in his Revelations John was wrong here, now, in present times these armies meet. As words become fulfilled, then by and by I pause and wonder- could the end be nigh?

I'm back again. John wasn't wrong if you don't mind by saying...because he was writing about the last days we are in now. Enjoyed.

Yes Viv our world is in chaos. My personal opinion is if we are to be consumed by fire as Revelations says. I think the Sun will eventually pull earth closer or we as humans will deplete the ozone so much that our planet will heat up like Mars. Just a thought!

Indeedy, but celestial events may take longer than our need to destroy eachother. Regards, Viv
