The Second Beast of Revelation 13 - Abu Mazen

I’m with Freyr

The OP didn’t answer it’s own question:

When we see a big wolf swallowing the sun, that is when we have to start worrying.

Ephraim, I cannot believe that you are still bothering with this nonsense after being categorically proven wrong last time.

You are fitting an utterly arbitrary curve to a data set, like seeing shapes in clouds or hearing satanic lyrics in Stairway to Heaven played backwards (click link at bottom of page, below photo of priest Lemaitre).

And, to play the same old song a second time:

If Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazen) dies before the second Coming, do you promise to post here that you were wrong again?

ephraim, please read this again. What do you think of it? Do you recognise any such phenomena as “disconfirmation” or “cognitive dissonance”?

Interresting article.
Last line made me chuckle;

Translated: As their cult will fail, let’s hope they will join our cult!

Worry not. Ragnarok has come and gone. Remember that it was not only the fall of the gods that was foretold. The rise of a new shining host was prophecied. Bright Balder would leave Nifleheim and return to life in Asgard. Vidar and others were fated to survive the great battle.

So was it written. So did it come to pass.

Dude, you mean you’re not?

You are so gonna get in trouble when the Antichrist gets home from the store.

Considering the OP’s unique eschatology, as well as the tongue-in-cheek mentions of Viking mythology, JW beliefs and the myriad of others, how does a person come to believe in any of them? We’ve got Jesus, Freyr and Yahweh and more just in this thread. All of them devotedly believed in either now or in the past by thousands or millions of people. I just don’t get it.

It works a bit like this:

-Declare that a certain person is the antichrist (or some other prominent prophesied figure)
-If that person dies, tell people that what you actually meant was, of course, that the spirit of the antichrist is embodied in the organisation to which the person belonged.
-If that organisation is disbanded or destroyed, your best bet is to argue that they have simply gone underground, or maybe just look wistful and murmur “all is not as it seems” in as mysterious a tone as you can muster.

And to pass, and to pass, again and again. Round '84, as I recall.

Abu mazen? That’s the anti-christ? Damn.

I mean, at least Arafat had some presence on the world stage. But a place-holder like Mazen? They just ain’t makin’ Anti-christs like they used to.

Garm?

Garm!

Bad wolf-dog! Spit that sun out right now!


Regarding the OP. I guess I’m not all that worried, since I’m not decended from one of the twelve tribes, I can’t be one of the 144,000.

Does anyone (besides the End Timers) take Revelation seriously?

As a serious question, what about the contention that everyone who voted for what’s his name damned their soul to hell for all eternity? Do even fundamentalist christians believe that you can damn yourself beyond redemption by accident? Sorry kid, you stepped on a crack and broke Jesus’ back. Does even the OP really believe that? Will the OP return to this thread?

BTW, it’s [SentientMeat’s fault.

He turned around in a dark bathroom and said “ephraim” three times?

Garm has indeed been naughty if he has swallowed the sun. Garm is supposed to be in Niflheim, guarding the entrance. When the sun-chasing wolf Skoll (should have an umlaut over the o) finally catches the sun and devours it, Garm will join the army of evil for the final battle. He and Odin will battle and slay eachother.

I doubt it, but there are a lot of End Timers. That’s why that stupid “Left Behind” series sells well.

Upon close reading, I find that the Flying Spaghetti Monster has slightly more merit.

Um… Like I said: :smiley:

That’s what I get for trusting my memory. (Stupid Starblazers.)

I thought Garm and Tyr destroy each other, and Odin v. Fenrir was for the title bout.

Right you are. This is what I get for posting while reading other entries in the book.

Re The One True Pasta

It’s on my list of possibilities. If Burger King ever introduces spaghetti, sell everything you have and put it all in canned food and shotguns.
