[QUOTE="bellaluna, post: 2333096, member: 809066"] yes, i do. reason: it is prophesied in the Bible, which i believe is God Word. Furthermore, every other prophesy up until this time has been fulfilled, all of the great empires were prophesied in the Bible and have some to pass, so I have no reason to believe that Armageddon will not. read Daniel chapter 2. In it, God prophesid through the prophet Daniel about future world powers. "You, O king, were looking and then, there was a single great statue; that statue, which was large and of extraordinary splendor, was standing in front of you, and its appearance was awesome. Statue. "The head of that statue was made of fine gold, its breast and its arms of silver, its belly and its thighs of bronze, its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of clay. Stone. "You continued looking until a stone was cut out without hands, and it struck the statue on its feet of iron and clay and crushed them. "Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver and the gold were crushed all at the same time and became like chaff from the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried them away so that not a trace of them was found. But the stone that struck the statue became a great mountain and filled the whole earth. (Daniel 2: 31-35) This prophesy was made during the Babylonian period. Each part of the statue is a symbol for all the future great kingdoms of the world. Head of gold = kingdom of Babylon - fulfilled Chest of Silver = Medo-Persian empire - fulfilled belly an thighs of bronze = Greece - fulfilled Legs of Iron = Rome - fulfilled Feet of Iron and clay = Europe and the modern Powers - partly fulfilled, this is the current period of time The Stone = this is a symbol for Christ, who will return at Armegeddon, and whose kingdon will be greater than all earthly powers of history. Because all of the other prophesied kingdoms in this prophesy have come true, I think it would be foolish to ignore the last one. There are many other prophesies in the Bible that are smilar to this one. All have come to pass except those of the end times. I believe that those will also come to pass in the future. Here is a useful webpage about this Daniel prophesy that you may want to look at - http://www.teachinghearts.org/dre17hdan02.html Thank you for asking a not ridiculous, accusatory question like so many other people in R+S. It is a relief to find that there are still intelligent people on here. :D ~bellaluna [/QUOTE]
