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

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

But that's not relevant.

I have no idea what you are saying
Explain to me what the vuvuzelas are
Some kind of religious cult awaiting doomsday?

They are a type of trumpet. They are very loud, so someone made a joke that they're so loud they can kill monkeys.

Oh. That makes sense. So, are these vuvuzelas what the angels will be playing when Jesus rides down on his golden pegasus to judge all human souls?

Really I dont think so.

If you are going to go as far as counting a pipe breaking as an angel blowing a trumpet, it could of been anything.

And, although it may be bad for the enviroment, its no-where near the end of the whole world.


Why does the bible always have to be so vague? If it told us the world was going to end 2012 December the 21st or something, we could all prepare and it would make it a whole lot easier.

It's doesn't mean literal blood. Let me explain again:

“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.

OK. Shall I edit it or post a new post?

Hinduism says the same thing!

Really? I didn't know that!

I hope that explains everything.

THE APOCALYPSE IS NOT REAL. It's all belief, it's not real. I mean, would you count this Summer in England apart of the Apocalypse (it's been really nice)? No, the year has been a good one, not Apocalypse time!

No offence to anyone,  .

Well, the bible doesn't say that the actually earth itself is going to be destroyed. Just all the bad people and sin. So it isn't actually bad for mankind.

now you have to remember the bible was written by people 2000 years ago...you cant take revelations literally because they didnt know what economics really were. they also didnt know about crude oil, off shore drilling, or anything else modern.

The did know about modern things. This is what it says in Revelation 11:18, "... and to bring to ruin those ruining the earth.” Man didn't have the technology to ruin the earth back then.

and if god told us when the world would end,that would deppress planet earth. there would be no point in life if you knew it  was going to end on a certain date. there would be riots, crimes, mass suicides, and worse

there are some things in this world humans arent meant to know....thats just the way it is

Is it really worth all the fear and worry though?
If we knew the date it would be easier just to face it.
People start starting riots and become suicidal when there are rumours about the end of the world, so far non of them have been true, if we were talled a date there would be no question about it and people would only ever suicide right before it, and that wouldn't matter as they were about to die anyway.

There's no need to. It's not the end of the world.    Just the end of all bad things. (Well almost.)

for what ever reason, god doesnt want us to know the date the world will end. not even jesus knows

That's right! Not even Jesus knows.
