"Get out your Bible. Many have thought it was the end overteh years and that is true but the Bible says that teh end is like Brith pangs and with current events and prophecy and thechnology where it is we are indeed in teh last days and Jesus TAUGHT we could KNOW the season of HIS return."

I've read my bible - I read what Jesus taught.  He taught over and over and over again - the same message that John the Baptist taught before him.  The kingdom of god is here!  It is now!  It is not in some future utopian time.  All you have to do is what Jesus said - look for it and you will find it.  I suggest that you also read what Jesus taught - skip the part written by a Roman Pharisee, a Christian killing Jew who taught the opposite of what Jesus taught - he was an antichrist!  He was who John was talking about when he said that there are many antichrists among us now. 

The kingdom of god was here 2,000 years ago.  It never left.  It is here today.  Jesus taught it.  Told us where to look for it, and said that people who John the Baptist had taught about the kingdom of god had experienced it (past tense) and the people he (Jesus) was teaching would also experience it - before they died.

The entire world is far better off than at any time in recorded history.  The planet is richer.  Millions no longer starve from famine.  The longevity is much higher than two or three generations ago.  The U. S. is the richest and safest nation in history - and you say these are the "birth pangs?"  Which planet do you live on?

I love this quote:

Utopian fantasies have long transfixed the human race. Yet today a much rarer fantasy has become popular in the United States. Millions of Americans, the richest people in history, have a death wish. They are the new “Armageddonites,” fundamentalist evangelicals who have moved from forecasting Armageddon to actually trying to bring it about.
