Aw come on, obviously any 200 million strong army crossing through the straight would be immediately stomped by Canada's impressive military! Let's get real here!

His theory was that the 200 million-man army would come across at the Bering Straits into Alaska and then south towards Denver and the Great Plains.

That's gotta be one of the wackiest things I've heard in a while.

200m-strong army crossing the Bering Strait - a logistics nightmare beyond compare. It'd take them years to cross. And they'd have to get there through Siberia - no picnic itself. WTF would they eat? How would they stay warm in the winter? In the meantime, we could pick them off like fish in a barrel.

That's funny, Jack Van Impe says that the 200 million man army is going to come from China, cross the river Jordan and invade Isreal.

In fact, good ol' Jack says that the Turks will pull all the levers and close all the damns so that the Chinese can make it over no problemo.

He ties it into the scripture very well indeed, citing numerous passages that support his view.

The problem, IMO, is that all of those verses can be read and interpreted any damn way you please. Thus we have a preponderance of wacknut theories floating around about when and where the world is going to end. People have fantastic imaginations.

All that I can say is this:
The world is going to end when the sun bloats up into a red giant ~4-5 billion years from now and broils our little rock into oblivion.

No gods required.

Why don't you head south a ways, and visit those old white-haired men in business suits who go by first initial, middle name, you know, the ones in the office buildings near the faux-gothic temple and the domed choir house, and ask them?

Why on earth would any Mormon come to a BB that caters to atheists, to ask about Arma-fetching-geddon?

Or did I miss something, and they called Art Bell to the Council of the Twelve? It could happen...

"I heard a theory that Armageddon will take place in the US, Denver and east. Around the year 2014."


Can't be true, the world ends on Dec 22 2012. That is when the Mayan calander runs out.

lunachick

Again!!! Hell, the world was supposed to end so many times already!

One theory I've stumbled across is 2012, because thats when the Mayan calendar ends - around 21st December.

Some scientists reckon that Lake Taupo (a huge caldera) will erupt within 50 years. Might not mark the end of the world as such, but it'll sure destroy most of the north island if it happens. It'll be the end of my world, anyway.

Amos

Yes really and we have the eskimoes of the North to help out if needed.

One of the last sane

Armageddon outta here!

Sorry, couldn't resist.
lunachick, at least you'll have nice boiled trout at your last supper. If I'm thinking of the correct lake?

Kosh

I know all the details about this, Wasatch. Tell me all the inner secrets of the Mormon temple, and I'll tell you the rest.

lunachick

Ahhh, I did forget: every silver cloud has a lining! Thank you.

ALL the lakes have loads of trout. Great big fat ones. As fat as anything you'll find at McDonalds. Oh, yeah.
