Although the gulf spill was bad, it's not going to cause the end of the world anytime soon. BP made a bad mistake, but anything could be assumed to fufill that, and it's just meaningless speculation. But if it is, then all we need is a few more horns blowing and we get a nice Apocalypse on our hands.

Yeah, I wouldn't stay up at night over it.

Let's just put it this way; No.
Where do people come up with this stuff?

Nah, apocalypse has become such a mainstream term, that it has a partly detached meaning from Christianity. As is Christmas.

Hmmm... I didn't notice.
Feel free to report it. I won't in case you already have, yourself.

I think we'll let it ride for a bit and see if the discussion remains calm.  Thanks for looking out for the community 

I think by one third they mean one third of the entire earth. Of course this is the bible, were most things are figurative.

Also, I think that we should keep this discussion open because there probably won't be too much of a religious flame-war (I hope).

Also, people have bought me before it's just not at 49% off. I'm losing money on that deal

Possibly.
-------------------
“But the wicked are like the sea that is being tossed, when it is unable to calm down, the waters of which keep tossing up seaweed and mire.” (Isaiah 57:20; 17:12, 13) Thus, “the sea” well pictures restless, unsettled, and rebellious humanity that churns up unrest and revolution. (Compare Revelation 13:1.) The time will come when that “sea” will be no more. (Revelation 21:1) A great mountainlike mass burning with fire is hurled into this “sea.” In the Bible, mountains very often symbolize governments. For example, God’s Kingdom is portrayed as a mountain. (Daniel 2:35, 44) Ruinous Babylon became a “burnt-out mountain.” (Jeremiah 51:25) But the mountainous mass that John sees is still burning. Its being hurled into the sea well represents how, during and after the first world war, the question of government became a burning issue among mankind, especially in the lands of Christendom. In Italy, Mussolini introduced Fascism. Germany embraced Hitler’s Nazism, while other countries tried different forms of socialism. A radical change occurred in Russia, where the Bolshevik revolution produced the first Communist state, with the result that religious leaders of Christendom lost power and influence in what was formerly one of their strongholds. The Fascist and Nazi experiments were snuffed out by the second world war, but government continued to be a fiery issue, and the human sea continued to churn and throw up new revolutionary governments. In the decades following 1945, these were installed in many places, such as China, Vietnam, Cuba, and Nicaragua. In Greece an experiment in military dictatorship failed. In Kampuchea (Cambodia) an excursion into fundamentalist Communism resulted in a reported two million and more deaths. So, I really don't think it's talking about the Gulf oil spill. Sorry.

I doubt it, but it's definately a downfall for part of the world.

Maybe the vuvuzelas at the World Cup could count.

Any other thoughts?

With all that oil in the gulf, I'm waiting for a hurricane to come along and lift all that oil into the air.  When it gets atomized by the wind it will be perfect for a lightning bolt to ignite the oil vapor and turn the whole thing into a giant flaming hurricane of death!

What are the vuvuzelas?
And you say they can pubicly sacrifice chimps?

No. It's a joke. They're very loud.
