After reading the Bible for the first time when I was forty, I could not believe in the Insane Jesus who would destroy most of our great cities, like Osama Bin Laden, because EVERYONE does no believe in him. This is just like Hitler – and Trump! Millions of mentally ill people are taught to embrace the Sane Jesus, and be sane. Then, they are told to vote for Republican candidates – only! This is – INSANE!
Paul bid the first Christians to ignore the Old Testament. Why then take the prophecies of Daniel – seriously? Why don’t non-believers kill as many believers as they can at the first sign of the Tribulation, and force the Jesus, the Killer-Terrorist, to stop his bloodbath, his killing of innocent children who do not have a chance, a choice? Taking hostages might spare millions of innocent lives. Jesus might not want to be such a cruel egomaniac if his beloved Republican Congress is taken hostage. We can breed Face Suckers who only obey the non-believers. I bet rich Arab oil Sheiks would help breed Face Suckers.
FACE SUCKERS FROM OUTERSPACE
“Mithi!” cries Killer Jesus! Not my beloved Mitchi! Have you no mercy? Have you no shame?”
“Please, Jesus! Don’t let them put that sucker on me. Can’t we bypass the Buddhists of Japan and not bring down all the tall building of Tokyo full of screaming people? Please, Jesus. If they put that thing on me, I will scream myself to death!”
When the Senate opened its fifth hearing on Clinton’s missing e-mails, every Senator was wearing a Face Sucker, but, Mitch McConnell. For the first time muffled grumbling could be heard from Republicans. Perhaps Jesus………wasn’t their man.
“How come there is no Face Sucker on Trump, either?” whispered Paul Ryan thro the asshole of a Face Sucker.

- One out of every two people will die during the Tribulation (see Rev. 6:8 and onward), some through the ravages of war, others by starvation, and amazingly many others by the ‘beasts of the earth’. So, whether by death that comes instantly and thus less dreaded or a slow and painful death that is lingering and agonizing-50 percent of all people will die. The world’s population was 6,415,574,176 yesterday, so that means at least 3,207,500,000 will die. That amounts to just about eleven times the current population of the United States-can you imagine that? And remember that the population of the world is doubling every 39.5 years. So every day the number of people who will die becomes larger and larger.
- One third of all vegetation will be burned up. All grass, every tree, everything green will be destroyed (see Rev. 8:7).
- The sun and the moon will be darkened as nature goes into revolt (see Rev. 8:12).
- The gates of hell will open and hordes of locusts, the size of horses, will come upon the earth. Those locusts will be allowed to sting men like scorpions and the pain will last for five months. The Bible says men will beg God to let them die but they will not die (see Rev. 9:3-6).
- There will be worldwide famine unlike anything the world has ever seen (see Rev. 18:8).
- There will be a world war so bloody that the blood of those killed in battle will flow for two hundred miles up to the bridle of a horse in the valley of Jezreel. This will be the Battle of Armageddon (see Rev. 14:20).
- All told, during the Great Tribulation, as many as half of all the people on the earth will be killed. Now do you see why God refers to the Rapture as a ‘blessed hope’? Because the Tribulation to come is so horrible!
But that means we are gone and will escape everything, right? Yes, exactly, we will miss every part of the TRIBULATION, but we will probably go through some of the worst days we have ever seen before it starts. And that is what Jesus is pointing out to us in Luke 21 where we open in God’s Word today.
In the Futurist view of Christian eschatology, the Tribulation is a relatively short period of time where everyone will experience worldwide hardships, disasters, famine, war, pain, and suffering, which will wipe out more than 75% of all life on the earth before the Second Coming takes place. Some Pretribulationists believe that those who choose to follow God, will be raptured before the tribulation, and thus escape it.[citation needed] On the other hand, some Posttribulationists (Christians who believe the rapture is synonymous with the resurrection that takes place after the Tribulation) believe Christians must endure the Tribulation as a test of their faith.[citation needed]
According to Dispensationalists who hold the futurist view, the Tribulation is thought to occur before the Second Coming of Jesus and during the End Times. In this view, the Tribulation will last seven prophetic Hebrew years (lasting 360 days each) in all but the Great Tribulation will be the second half of the Tribulation period (see Matt 24:15 and Matt 24:21 showing the Great Tribulation is after the Abomination of Desolation, which marks the midpoint of the Tribulation).
In this view, this seven-year period is considered to be the final week of Daniel’s Prophecy of Seventy Weeks, found in Daniel chapter 9. It is theorized that each week represents seven years, with the timetable beginning from Artaxerxes‘ order to rebuild the Second Temple in Jerusalem. After seven weeks and 62 weeks, the prophecy says that the messiah will be “cut off”, which is taken to correspond to the death of Christ. This is seen as creating a break of indeterminate length in the timeline, with one week remaining to be fulfilled.
The time period for these beliefs is also based on other passages: in the Book of Daniel, “time, times, and half a time“, interpreted as “a year, two years, and half a year,” and the Book of Revelation, “a thousand two hundred and threescore days” and “forty and two months” (the prophetic month averaging 30 days, hence 1260/30 = 42 months or 3.5 years). The 1290 days of Daniel 12:11, (rather than the 1260 days of Revelation 11:3), is thought to be the result of either a simple intercalary leap month adjustment, or due to further calculations related to the prophecy, or due to an intermediate stage of time that is to prepare the world for the beginning of the millennial reign.[4]
