Termyn8or -> The plan (7/2/2010 7:52:46 AM)
|
My buddy believes that what is happening now is part of a big plan. That DOES NOT mean a conspiracy, really. That is that the destiny of the world is preordained in some way, and as unlikely as an extraterrestial influece is, the possibility exists. Now understand that this does not mean that every move you make and every breath you take has been planned, just a predisposition to it.
Sounds outlandish to me but I am reminded of a few things. So many predictions have placed some signifigance of the year 2012, some religious, some in the quatrains, and who knows where else. Now with the oil problem, with ocean currents, already studied in the past by scientific methods, the oil will be worldwide in eighteen months. This is July 2010, do the math. Also have a look at the economy, first at the US economy and then the world's interdependence because of this "global" economy so touted as a good thing by the "experts". Look at what is happening to the mentality of common people. Look at the living conditions and the encroachment of human rights, not even caused by government but by overcrowding.
Nobody wanted to see the article I read on this back in the 1970s, and now it is gone because my hosting is gone. Sorry about your luck. But what happpened to a herd of deer left on an extremely supple island seems to be the direction we are taking, as a species.
Though I haven't researched it fully :
"
The word Armageddon appears only once in the Greek New Testament.[5] The word comes from Hebrew har məgiddô (הר מגידו), meaning "Mountain of Megiddo". Megiddo is a small mountain on which ancient forts were built that guarded the main highway, the Via Maris, that connected Egypt with Mesopotamia. Megiddo was the location of many decisive battles in ancient times (including one in the 15th century BC and one in 609 BC). The town Megiddo in Israel is approximately 25 miles (40 km) westsouthwest of the southern tip of the Sea of Galilee (or Lake Tiberias to the Romans) in the Kishon River area.[6]"
That means Armageddon was a place. The word was seemingly recategorized into something other than a simple noun, as is common at least in the English language. But looking at the roots of the concept, it has already happened many years ago and did not result in the end of the world. It certainly did for some people though. So the question becomes just who's Armageddon is it anyway ? Folklore and subsequent scripture notwithstanding, the concept is the same.
Is it possible that the human race simply has a defined life span though, and that we are nearing the end of it ? Or it as we know it ? Could people have that much insight ? What of Nostradamus and his uncanny accuracy in certain events, like 9/11 for example. The year and the line of latitude or longitude i.e.
If this is an embedded trait, no matter how it got there, is it possible that some can tap into it and make some actual predictions. Remember I do not believe that there is anything supernatural at all. Supernatural is a name given by people who derstand (that is not understand) aspects of life and/or nature. I refuse to do that, which is why I subscibe to none of it. But the coincidences mount. There is just too much happening now to dismiss this as total bullshit, much as I may try. It is not going to make me find God or any of that, but I must, if sane, consider the possibility that there are those who can somehow see these things as the logical conclusion of what is happening, even back then. If predestined and ingrained, of course perception of the events would be timeless.
Also understand that I am not looking for Crist to come again and find some Antichrist and do battle. I am saying that the word has been adopted for that purpose. Even if true, it does not mean an end to all life on this planet, as the religious would have many believe, nor being wafted off to heaven somehow, which actually if true would mean just that. And if it really only means the battle, who says who wins ? Are the forces that remove a shitload of people from our planet and enrich life for those left behind good or bad ? That is not my decision to make, nor possibly anyone's.
But every concept has a certain perspective. Does it mean WW3 ? Does it mean a great plague ? Does it mean literally two titans fighting in the sky ? Nobody knows, but I think we might find out soon. What happens when BP goes down the tubes ? They are one of the major oil suppliers in the world and their absence would at least be notable. But is their aloofness about the possible ramifications of their actions possibly a sign of times so to speak ?
More and more we find the decisions made by our "leaders" are flawed in that they are not well thought out. It might kill many of us in fact, and in fact has already killed quite a few. All the wars and history indicates this, and also seems to imply that it is getting worse as time goes by. Maybe alot of our DNA is just getting too old to put it another way. Why do lemmings follow one another into the sea when each of them knows they can't swim ?
Why are things always the worst they've ever been ? Even on a personal level I made more money when I was a teenager than I do today. Think of the price differential between the late 1970s and now, I lived like a King. While I might know the hows and whys of what has happened, what of the reason for it. Why did it happen ? Why is what is happening now happening now ? There may be something to this and of so, how can one become one of the survivors, and also, do we want to be ? I don't know if this is attributable to some superior race or species, whether terrestrial or not, it might just be a natural thing, like the disappearance of the missing link.
In the past the future needed to be considered for survival. You really did reap what you had sown. We have been removed from that constriction and seemingly have acted accordingly. Those in power were removed from those constraints a long time ago, and behold their actions. I fact even moreso, the results.
Again I am not buying into this hook, line and sinker, I am just saying that it is possible.
