Is This The Of Beginning

[locusts]

IS this the of beginning of - virus or pandemic the start of the Armageddon which is talking about in Revelation 6-8 deadly plague

[iluvmargie]

I flamin' well hope not!

[Cloverjo]

No. We’ll get over this.

[Bobbisox1]

It’s okay locust, you’ll be saved :0)

[Ken4155]

Wonder if our ancestors asked the same question during the plague?

[vulcan42]

Locusts, that's just wishful thinking on your part. The religious people would love to see the world annihilated so they can see just one prophecy come true and they can then say " I told you so".

[Old_Geezer]

Have a guess.

[jno]

Ken, our ancestors certainly did. Considering it killed maybe a third of Europe's population and was probably the second worst disaster for humanity, that would be quite a logical response.

[Mozz71]

Are you talking about the bubonic plague being found in China or the swarms of locusts over much of Asia?

[MallyJ]

Does anyone actually believe the stuff in the bible?

[Ken4155]

Jno; "That would be quite a logical choice." Only if you believed in all the guff printed in that well known fantasy novel, The Holy Bible.

[Mozz71]

Fantasy? I always thought it was a nonsense comedy. Lewis Carroll type of thing.

[jno]

there's a pretty good chance your ancestors believed just that, Ken. You must be disappointed in them.

[Ken4155]

I'm hoping I come from a long line of atheists, Jno, or at the very least, Pagans :-)

[retrocop]

Sorry locusts. You are mistaking me for anyone who gives a flying fig. :-)

[mibn2cweus]

The current pandemic caught many of us with our pants down. There's much worse waiting just around the corner. The question is will we get caught out with our trousers down well below our knees again next time. Waiting around for Armageddon won't improve the outcome any then either.

[10ClarionSt]

We're all DOOMED!

[10ClarionSt]

Looking at the OP, I'm not so sure: Is this the of the beginning? Wot?! Wot of the beginning? The start of the beginning? The end of the beginning? The beginning of the end? However, from Revelations:
And when I looked, I beheld a pale horse. And the rider that sat upon him was named death. And Hades followed with him.

[1ozzy]

Don't you know what an //of beginning of// is 10cc?

[ichkeria]

Bubonic plague never died out. It still kills people to this day.
Then what about “Kazakhstan pneumonia”?
Best pack our bags :-)

yeah well - or no-well I did think of this when the holy head of the islamic republic was regretting the spread of covid in Iran

to wit: how do you square this with the idea that Iran is a god given and directed paradise on earth ? ( so why punish it?)

this idea of end of times isnt er new is it?
first started ( technical term millenarianism ) soon after the crucifixion
and we're still waaaaaiiiiitttting !

oh it is sunday - so quite spontaneously
I am the light and the life and if you believe in me then you will have everlasting life
later on
you have said if you believe in it then I will make you free
but the Jews said - we have never been slaves and so how can you make us free
and Jesus said -you are free on this earth, I will make you free for all time
( John 7,8 - ish, my own version)
well its sunday
