Armageddon is probably just the Israel-Palestine conflict. Perhaps Iran will join in and create a world war.

1. The Euphrates river is dwindling. 2. Iran is building a doomsday nuclear bomb for Israel. 3. President Barack Obama is trying to divide the State of Israel. 4. Russia is supplying Iran with weapons of Mass destruction. 5. Israel shall be reborn as a Nation (and the end shall come). In relation to topic (4). Read the story about Gog-Magog. The Bible says; The mighty North will supply Persia with weapons for Armageddon. The Mighty North = Russia. Conclusion? Russia is North of Israel. Ancient Persia is now called Iran. Do the math. It's all beginning to make perfect sense. |

Now we can see why conservatives hate Iran. But Armageddon seems inevitable anyway - why fight it?

Well let us know when it happens then, because until then, it just sounds like a bunch of ancient lunacy cherry picked for thousands of years as convenient when it kinda-sorta seems like current events.
The Euphrates isn't dry you say? No problem, it's close enough. The modern state of Israel is a secular republic rather than a theocracy as the Bible states? No problem, at least the name is right. No-one knows where Magog is? No problem, it must be the USSR...er uhm, I mean Russia. Nevermind that Magog is supposedly the remotest place on earth (from Israel), placing it in North America. But we're the good guys, so it can't be us. Kennedy, er uhm, LBJ, I mean Nixon (doh), ok Ford....god , I mean Carter....or well it must be Reagan (he got shot and lived...see, he's the antichrist!!!), oh nevermind, I mean Bush...scratch that...Clinton....uhm Bush II, drat...ok Obama. Obama is trying to divide Israel!!!!! It's the end. Yipeee!!!! |

Of course scientists won't claim "the end is near" if any other rivers run dry. Because the Bible predicted specifically the Euphrates. Example: If the Ohio river drys up, that is not a sign of the times. |

But either way, even if they keep it at the current 250cms, which would probably be a war-started, the river won't quite go dry. And your prophecy fails to materialize. Quote:

As a skeptic, though, i am concerned with 2000 years of cries that 'the end is near.' They always fail. The credibility of such cries has decreased with every failure. So at this point, you need evidence a lot stronger than 'it's gonna happen! Soon! Trust me!' to be convincing. You appear to be reaching. And, you're ignoring the evidence pointed out above about the lands of Canaan. Seems to be open to charges of 'if he really knew the bible...' |

If World War 3 starts with horse mounted Iranian soldiers invading Israel with swords and helmets, I will literally ROFL. |
