Sir Isaac Newton (1642-1727), who was involved in alchemy and many other things in addition to science and mathematics, studied old texts and apparently decided that the world will come to an end in the year 2060! 
The16th and final volume of the "Left Behind" series is out and the series has sold more than 50 million books! The authors, Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins, were recently guests on the Glenn Beck show. Their series is a narrative form to a specific eschatological reading of the Christian Bible, particularly the Book of Revelation and dispensational premillennialism.“Suddenly -- without warning -- the most alarming event in mankind's history comes to pass: millions upon millions world-wide have vanished, the dead and alive, born and unborn -- many right before people's eyes.
Frantic "survivors" of the disappearances begin their search for their friends and families as well as answers to what's happened.”
So what does all of this have to do with the price of tea in china? OK. Since the formation of Israel in 1948 the evangelicals and fundamentalist christians have been tittering at the prospect that the End Times are nigh!
So here on the Prime Time ‘News’ we have the Left Behind guys explaining that the USofA is not mentioned in the Bible
because most Americans will be Raptured
and now we find out that Newton, the greatest scientific mind in all of HISTORY, calculated, and he should know, he invented Calculus, that the end of history would happen in 2060.
My guess is that the whole End Of Days scenario is about to get a lot of traction. Probably way more than you suspect because this is the ‘Last Call before Adios Y’All’ .
The next big thing of course is the one world government and the centralized control of the global economy…something that we could all imagine as the only alternative to a world with almost a dozen (known) countries in possesion of Nuclear Weapons.
Like it or not you must develop a strategy .
Since the News Media is no longer interested in providing Information (because all of the NEWS outlets are now categorized as another profit generating division of the Corporation) they are forced to SENSATIONALIZE everything in order to compete.The Media’s chief weapon against us is Hyperbole.
Hyberbole and Innuendo.
The Media’s chief weapons are Hyperbole and Innuendo, and an almost fanatical devotion to the Art of skillfully editing language and visual materials that incoporates a Century of psychological studies that have been proven to manipulate human behavior.
These key elements have joined forces to create the perfect storm conditions to confuse and strike fear into the hearts and minds of the average naive person who inadvertently allows this SENSATIONALISM to be delivered into their homes 24/7.
These key elements have joined forces to create the perfect storm conditions to confuse and strike fear into the hearts and minds of the average naive person who inadvertently allows this SENSATIONALISM to be delivered into their homes 24/7.The End must be Near, how could you think otherwise. How much of what you see on the News do you know for certain is in fact REAL. If you have been to a Movie Theatre in the last decade you are aware that anything that can be imagined can now be replicated and put on a screen of any shape or size.
The momentum is building and they are telling us that the human race is circling the drain. If you are naïve enough to think that people are not going to start reacting to these stressful messages, you are sadly mistaken.
If homo escapeons start believing that there really is no tomorrow they can start doing whatever they feel like doing, right?
Aside from Ostrich-izing ourselves and sticking our heads in the sand or up our butts, what can the average person do to stop this madness?
The most glaring omission that I see in this debate has been the fact that the last BABY BOOMER will die around 2060!
Coinky-Dink? I think NOT!
don't worry HE when the world ends all the madness will stop of its own accord.
ReplyDeleteziggi,
ReplyDeleteThat's easy for you to say because you've been around for a couple of hundred years.
"You say po-tay-to
I say po-tat-to
You say to-may-to
and I say ta-mat-to
let's call the whole thing off!"
Newton, we fucking hate him round our way. He knew fuck all about the Ford Cortina.
ReplyDeletewell this is depressing. But then, doesn't the hebrew bible say that the world was gonna end in 2006? Im sure i read that somewhere.
ReplyDeleteI hate those programmes that go on about stuff like 'religion is the root of all evil' and are actually full of generalisations to the point that its all actually bollocks. Impressionable people who dont know much about the subject (eg. my mum, small children, government etc.) watch em and think they're experts on the subject when actually they've been pretty much brainwashed. Ah well, the truth is boring. Not great television really...
I'm waiting for the end of the world so I can employ all the skills I learned from novels way back during my post-apocalyptic obsession period. Think any of those skills might apply now?
ReplyDeletevicus,
ReplyDeleteObviously Ole Newtie calculated that the Ford Cortina would be extinct before 2060 because it was a mass-market midsize family car that sold in enormous numbers and under various guises throughout Britain from 1962 to 1982!
and that, my good man, is precisely why the Cortina is never mentioned once in The Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica, not even in passing.
fathorse,
Well actually, today is Thursday, May 3rd, 2007, on the goyim Gregorian Calendar,
but it's the 15th of Iyyar, in the YEAR 5767 on the Hebrew Calendar.
Sorry to depress you. The upside of it all is that there is a 100% chance that nobody really knows EXACTLY WHEN the last Baby Boomer will actually die!
andrea,
ReplyDeleteYES of course...that is exactly why I watch Waterworld and A Boy And His Dog every night before I go to sleep.
I will know how to acquire soil, ammo, telepathic dogs and women like there is no tomorrow...or is it..the day before the day after
there is no tomorrow!
D'OH!
Newton was pretty smart, but he transposed his zeroes- the world actually ended in 2006.
ReplyDeleteWatching a Boy and his Dig every night? My Don Johnson hurts!
Great movie...
So I'll be 77 when it all goes kaput. That's a good lifespan, I'm happy.
ReplyDeleteAnother great post, HE, finishing with a great question: 'what can the average person do to stop this madness?'
ReplyDeleteHmmm. I've been thinking about this. Well, it's nearly midnight. All I wanted to do with my life was to be someone's housewife for a long time but I think all the love I bring won't mean a thing unless I sing, actually.
Sometimes I think that. Sometimes I sing. I'm getting there. We're all getting there. We have 53 years to work this question out. It's late and I'm just rambling.
I actually read the first three books in the Left Behind series before quitting it. Figured it was making me think too much and it was really depressing. I'd much rather not know.
ReplyDeletei used a chainsaw today.
ReplyDeletereally.
which has about as much relevance to this discussion as revelations has to reality.
so there.
...and isaac newton looked really crappy in pasties.
ReplyDeleteI'll be exactly 100 years old in 2060 and thats plenty good enough for me. Yeah thats right, its all about me.....
ReplyDeleteIts the end of the world as we know it.... and i feel fine.
ReplyDeleteIt had to be said...
PAterns in clouds, people are looking to see a correlation between the bible and life, conincidence is not prophesy.
During the apocalypse will all those with the end is neigh on a sandwhich board, just walk about with " i told you so" ?
Left Behind: even heaven didnt want Kirk Cameron...
I loved the monty python bit -as I'll call it -in this post -oh you know the bit I mean.Ah, you crack me up.
ReplyDelete2060? thats too long to put up with this mess!
ReplyDeleteKeshi.
I stocked up on wine and cheese when I heard "The end is nigh!"
ReplyDeleteI have had to go back to the shops a few times since!
2060! I'll be 6ft under by then from alcoholism and obesity!
allan,
ReplyDeleteHA! I trust that you have The Last Sound Love Makes by Don Johnson on your fave list!
stace,
77! That was a very good year. I still had a shag in 77 NOT a mullet.
Jammer,
Mamas & Papas:
Sing for your supper,
and you'll get breakfast;
Songbirds always eat
If their song is sweet to hear.
Sing for your luncheon, and you'll get dinner---
Dine with wine of choice
If romance is in your voice.
menchie,
Not only is it very elitist and depressing, it seems completely contrarian to the central message.
Those first century writers imagined that it was going to happen in their lifetime and none of them would have ever guessed that people would still be waiting in the 21st Century!
first nations,
RRRrrrRRRrrrRRRRrrr
I can hear the Ramones in the background:
Texas chain saw massacre
took my baby away from me!
angel without wings,
100! Can you imagine? As long as everything works reasonably well, especially in the attic, why not?
aidan,
Yes that was almost the title of this post..
"Save yourself, serve yourself. World serves its own needs,
listen to your heart bleed.
Tell me with the rapture and the
reverent in the right - right.
You vitriolic, patriotic, slam, fight, bright light, feeling pretty psyched."
Lee!
Thank you, believe it or not I knew that YOU would catch the Spanish Inquisition bit.
You complete me.
keshi,
Now, now...it's going to get a lot worse before it gets better..whoops my bad!
It isn't going to get better.
cream,
See you on the other side..
I'll wait up for you.
i REALLY don't want to be here after the rapture- and i'm working at it- if only because its going to take months to clean up the mess!
