I wonder if any of them even got the name right! CHILIASM! That is the actual word. Chiliasm is the doctrine of millenialism, based on a belief in the end of the world, or apocalypse, or doomsday. Its when the antichrist comes. So lets use the correct word. > .... The time has always been "soon." When Christ left the > apostles, they thought his return was or would be soon.

Yes, and it is incumbent on all good citizens to ensure that the mere fear of Midnight Dec 31 1999 does not cause panic or economic prolapse. Hence the need to debunk the nonense and sell the truth, or better still, Give it Away. > In 1968, the end of the world/Armeggeddon WAS absolutly without > a doubt going to happen in 1975.

December 23 2012 AD was their prediction. Ironically I am slated to die on or about June 23 2012, 6 months eariler. >> ``Verily I say unto you, `This generation shall not pass away, >> till all be fulfilled,''' Jesus says in Luke 21:32. In other words according to the clear and literal word of the bible, apocalypse was expected 1900 years ago. The Hebrews were amongst those forcibly settled in Alexandria, several hundreds of years earlier. There they apparently had access to ancient records now lost. Hence the account of encounters with cometary material described so vividly in Revelations. > Many people have fingered the 7 years of tribulation/rapture > to happen in the 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s....... Ah, the rapture. The described symptoms are those of CO poisoning. First the trumpets (comets), then the rapture (CO poison.) Hale Bopp was discharging a million tons of CO per day. Comets presage disasters as we all know so well. Well, we have seen the comet, so when does our seven years of exposure to CO start? This January maybe. Prepare to take a deep breath. Recently we had several ethane comets come past, the first ever seen. Their orbit was such that on the previous pass they would have been part of the destruction of Atlantis. In John 12 28-29 it is recorded that Jesus was speaking on behalf of his god when "...there came a voice out of heaven...." which some said carried words, but not all agreed, because "...The crowd of bystanders heard the sound and said that it had thundered...." At which Jesus said: "Now the judgement (crisis) of this world is coming on." This seems to be no mystery at all. There was the boom of a falling meteor, relatively common in those days, and Jesus quite reasonably believed that it would be not long before yet another huge mass of debris would hit the Earth. And he got it wrong. Yes, he was wrong. It just did not happen. And just because Hale Bopp just went past leaving an invisible plume of carbon monoxide does not mean we will run into it. It could miss us entirely instead. We are not on a safe world at all, you see. We are well into a major extinction event. A couple of thousand years of relative calm means nothing. For tens of thousands of years, the Earth has been peppered with meteoric iron. The topmost layers of the Earth are covered with fragments. They called it "pykos" once. A lump of slag iron looks like a pig, hence "pig iron". To some cultures it is sacred, as it was to the Egyptions. (Ben ben stones.) Even now, Muslims and Jews won't touch pig, for that reason. It is good to see they agree on *something*, albeit something so inane. Many people could not believe stones could fall from the sky. Hence the expression: "If pigs could fly". One way to read the cryptic mythology of early christianity is to say that the "Ante-christ" (before-the-crossing) has taken place. i.e. The "Anti-christ" is a mistranslation. The so-called "New Testament" was in fact orally transmitted, something like some forms of herpes. They did hold that it would come after 2 times and a time and a half. We are told a time is a year. I think it was 1000 years but have no basis for this except blind faith. (In logic). So: (2 times + a time + 0.5 ) x 1000 = 3500 years. Whether the gas will hit or not is moot. If it does then after the euphoria some will have damaged speech centres and that will be the Babel Effect. Some people might find it hard to accept that all the esoteric ideology of christianity can be attributed to astronomical phenomena. I find this curious, since the texts are very specific that its all about events in heaven above. When it comes as a big dark cloud, then you will have the grand- daddy of all eclipses, hence Apu-kalyps or apocalypse. "Armegaddon" is a bit harder to make sense of. It seems to me to mean "Hermes Gathering". Hermes is to me a UFO. So putting all that together, in the End Times expect to see a comet back after 3500 years ( e.g. Hale Bopp) before the Crossing of the Ways and then the God of Crossroads (Hermes) will be seen in plentitude. Maybe it is a salvage mission. The record is clear enough in the past, that the Nu (great fish) of U (heaven) will come in an akh (a bent line, like the symbol on the same key as the period symbol, viz: > like that seen about Phoenix and this "Noah's Ark" will collect genotypes of all kinds in order to re-seed the world after it gets creamed by the four different types of comet-magic (horus- mene) of the apocalypse. (Earth, air, fire, and water.) And so on. No idea about this rapture stuff. The path of the comet was 9 million miles beyond where our orbit will take us by early January. We might know then. Alternatively there is something else on the way, or maybe the Mayans even knew that the main debris field would be trailing 15 years behind Hale Bopp. So some of you will know by Dec 23 2012. But I guess it will be in sight 6 months earlier anyway, so I might see it. If my prediction is correct, please call it the Williams Cloud. That is all I ask. : ) If my bland prognostications distress you, dear readers, then just hit me. I'm quite cheerful about all this. Its a case of moderation in all things, and there is nothing wrong with striking a happy medium. Lawrie Williams_________
