I'm not calling you anything.

and i was not criticizing you, specifically.  aren't we clever?

Put all the words in my mouth you want. I know you don't follow me, and that's why having a conversation with you on this topic is a complete waist of my time.

and a complete chest of mine.

All will be revealed as it should. I will leave you with this; China+USA= promised land, it's just going to be one hell of a time getting there.

not following you there.  China is trying to become the US economically.  they won't get there on a per capita basis, imo.  but if they get 30% of the way there on a per capita basis, they will become the #1 superpower.  the last prediction i saw said that they will reach that point in 2015 on a PPP basis.  the very much real basis will follow not long after, given their 6-10% GDP growth.

this is not a criticism of the US.  this is not praise of China.  it is just math.

Ok DJ, I will try this one more time since you seem to be very confused.. I knew I shouldn't have read you last comment before bed, 6 am is fast approaching....

First of all this is God's kingdom, not mans.

Second, you are no longer talking about a collapse, your talking about countries "overtaking" the USA in GDP. The only way this happens is if the continue to "Americanize" their business model, we have touched on this already in a prior conversation. So in other words, all these other places are going to have to become cookie cutter USAs to make their GDP dreams come true. Is this a bad thing? Isn't life pretty decent here for the common man?

So if these countries are like North America, is that a collapse? Or is that just the USA isn't the biggest economy inside a global system where the common man enjoys a decent life? Your FEAR is that the USA isn't going to be the biggest. Does it matter if we all live like we do here?

Third, China is on the very of economic collapse. Your data is so outdated it isn't funny. All the talk now, is of what we have been talking about on MT for years. China is at risk of becoming just like Japan. Search Ghost cities in China and read up. Only difference is Japan didn't face an on slot from Muslim fanatics. The Jihad is trying to engulf Central Asia and China, thanks to the tyrant Putin, they are now well on their way.

China's massive currency reserves are almost all USD's... Without the USA, China is screwed. It is in China's best interest to keep the USA alive and well.. Oh, did you hear that the air is so bad in China that it's probably causing birth defects?

Fourth. Africa is what we call a continent, not a country. It is filled with many little countries that have a tendency to butcher each other, still to this day. That is unless there is a civil war and then they are just butchering their own countrymen. Sudan? Rwanda? Ect, ect, ect. Africa is 110% dependent on China, as China is on the USA. See the pattern yet?

Fifth, India? The place where Mrs. America says she's to brown to be a beauty queen??

Sixth, while things are far from perfect in North America, it's still one of the best, if not the best, place to live in the world. Everyone, everywhere(aside from Western Europe) is playing catch up. China and the USA(the two big players in the world) don't want this war that is fast approaching to happen. They know that love makes more. This PISSES Russia, Iran, and the last lot of these tyrants that are in control off big time. They don't want to see a Chinese, American hegemony because it will lead the world to a place that we can only imagine right now, and they won't get the glory. So guess what? Looks like it has to be one more time!

To sum it up again. China+USA=the promised land. Close to 6K years in the making, and we are going to have to go through some serious tribulations to get there, but his Kingdom will come. Nothing has survived in this world as long as Hebrew scripture has, literally nothing.

irrelevant.  man possesses WILL, and therefore, it is our world to shepherd.

Second, you are no longer talking about a collapse, your talking about countries "overtaking" the USA in GDP.

i was replying to a set of assertions about the US, which were false.

The only way this happens is if the continue to "Americanize" their business model, we have touched on this already in a prior conversation. So in other words, all these other places are going to have to become cookie cutter USAs to make their GDP dreams come true. Is this a bad thing? Isn't life pretty decent here for the common man?

Third, China is on the very of economic collapse.

people like to say this, but i am not certain it is true, at all.  if you want to discuss this in detail, let's start a thread.

Your data is so outdated it isn't funny.

what data?

All the talk now, is of what we have been talking about on MT for years. China is at risk of becoming just like Japan.

that is a pretty odd claim considering the state of development of the two countries, and their debt level.

Search Ghost cities in China and read up. Only difference is Japan didn't face an on slot from Muslim fanatics. The Jihad is trying to engulf Central Asia and China, thanks to the tyrant Putin, they are now well on their way.

yeah, you are right.  i am totally ignorant of the Jiihad which is threatening China.  please elaborate.

China's massive currency reserves are almost all USD's... Without the USA, China is screwed. It is in China's best interest to keep the USA alive and well.. Oh, did you hear that the air is so bad in China that it's probably causing birth defects?

of course.  the great thing about dictatorships, however, is that you don't need to care about such "externalities".

Fourth. Africa is what we call a continent, not a country.

i am aware of what Africa is, bro.  i was talking about the entire region, not one country.  i am going to delete the rest of your "lecture" here, as i know African economics and politics better than most people on this board.

Fifth, India? The place where Mrs. America says she's to brown to be a beauty queen??

i hold more hope for India than China- but again, i think we should have a separate discussion on the matter.

Sixth, while things are far from perfect in North America, it's still one of the best, if not the best, place to live in the world. Everyone, everywhere(aside from Western Europe) is playing catch up. China and the USA(the two big players in the world) don't want this war that is fast approaching to happen.

Looks like it has to be one more time!

To sum it up again. China+USA=the promised land. Close to 6K years in the making

the USA was not 6K in the making.  it is not even 0.6k in the making.

, and we are going to have to go through some serious tribulations to get there, but his Kingdom will come. Nothing has survived in this world as long as Hebrew scripture has, literally nothing.

oh, i see.  this is BIBLE talk.  so, you think the earth is 6000 years old, i guess?

never mind.  discussion over.

[mmhmm]

I'm moving a couple of posts into this thread so a discussion that was taking place in P&M can continue here.  This is done at Ahamburger's request.

mmhmm, Administrator

[Aman A.K.A. Ahamburger]

Thanks mmhmm!

djAdvocate, Free will is our greatest gift, we are free to make our own choices in life. For the longest time all we have chosen to do as a society is treat each other terribly. The path to God is based on YOUR/OUR ability as free thinking beings to make the right decisions in life. Yes, we are supposed to be good shepherds of this planet. Aside from the last while here we have failed miserably, and we still have so much room for improvement.

What I'm are talking about DJ, is the messianic age. The reason that the Jewish people reject that JC was the messiah is because we still aren't there, yet. However, it doesn't actually state anywhere in scripture how long it would take the messianic age to happen after the messiah is here, just that the Messiah will bring on the Kingdom of God.

I understand that lots of people for lots of years have been calling for China's economic collapse. I have not. I have been calling it what it is, a slow motion plane crash into the next Asian crisis. I actually started a thread about it last year, you can find it here.

Why am I saying that we are getting close now? Where am I getting the comparisons between Japan and China? You can read it all about it here.... China facing fresh 'ghost town' crisis after developer collapse

Notice how the riches man in Asia is dumping his property because China's 3 and 4 tier cities have seen prices drop by 40%+ already?

Your debt to GDP ratio is off dj, that's the data I'm talking about. Chinese companies are almost exclusively state owned, as you know I'm sure. However, the dirty little secret is that so many companies in China are insolvent it's not even funny. Notice the defaults in the Chinese economy that have started this year? China's debt is owed internally, almost exclusively. Which means that China's debt to GDP ratio is at least 220%... If not closer to like 350-400%

Why am I worried about China's economy and not the USA's? The USA just went through and economic collapse, again. This would be the second major meltdown in 100 years, and each time things keep coming back. There is only one reason for this, the people. You're guys ability to come back from the brink has, once again, let the world in amazement and bewilderment.

So, how does China+the USA= the promised land?

The Chinese people are amazing as well. They have overcome so much in the last 100 years, some of which was with the help of their friends. I'm sure you know the Allied forces freed the Chinese from Japanese enslavement during WW2. The fall of communism in China will be just another thing that their American friends help them overcome. China vows to clean up 60 percent of cities by 2020, Kunming pollution protest is tip of rising Chinese environmental activism

Which brings us to the tribulation period, and the Jihad that is trying to engulf central Asia and China. The recent knife attacks and bombings in China are a prime example, but this is straight from the horses mouth.... Chinese Martyrs' Brigade group claims responsibility for flight MH370, Uighur leader: “We have plans for many attacks in China”

Thanks to Putin and his Allies in the Mid East thinking they are winning, well, that's what I mean by one more time....

As far as Africa goes, first I want to apologize for being condescending, it was late and I should know better. The African Union has been a dream since the 60's, I know. But this keeps happening.... Sectarian violence in Central African Republic reported at terrifying levels

India....Miss America, Meet India’s ‘Dark’ Side

I would suspect that if/when this next stage hits, Africa and India will basically rip themselves apart.. Which will leave the USA and China picking up the pieces. This comes after the Sino-American global hegemony comes into play. Or as I like to call it, Pax Globa, aka, God's Kingdom on Earth.

Dj, It's not the USA that was 6k years in the making, it's the Kingdom of God has been 5774 years in the making. It all started when a "crazy" guy named Abraham received a message from God. From there, 3 separate religions have evolved that now encompass around 70% of the worlds population. The USA is merely the vessel that has spread this "crazy" idea of Freedom and liberty around the globe.

This is why God Blessed America.

[Aman A.K.A. Ahamburger]

Well, with both Russia and the West accusing each other of starting WW3. China's looming economic disaster growing more certain and their recent upping of antiterrorism. The Popes visit to the Mid East, the Temple Mount...Well, basically everything from post #3 growing stronger, I thought it would be a good time to post some info on significant celestial events. Again, it's a good thing that Hebrew texts have been misinterpreted..

NASA: Four Blood Moons in 2014 and 2015

Such heavenly phenomena have occurred only three other times in recent centuries and each time they were linked to significant and major events concerning the Jewish people, including the ingathering of the People of Israel and the newborn State, all in our modern era. A tetrad of lunar eclipses occurred in the years 1493 and 1494 when the Jews were expelled from Spain. It happened again in the same way in the years 1949 and 1950 after David Ben Gurion issued the Declaration of Independence for the newborn State of Israel, giving the Jewish people a homeland after 2,000 years of exile. The lunar tetrad appeared again in the years 1967 and 1968 when Israel won the Six Day War and regained the city of Jerusalem, the eternal capital of the Jewish People since the days of King David.....

..... The original Hebrew understanding of the words translated into English as "end-times" does not mean the end of the world or the end of humanity. The prophets prophesied that the "end-times" will be a time of judgment upon the nations that have persecuted the people of G‑d, Israel, during a history of more than 4,000 years, including our own time. Within these prophetic words are parallel prophecies that also describe the time of redemption of the people of Israel and the redemption of the entire world through Israel.

Thanks JC.

[Aman A.K.A. Ahamburger]

How about a little twist? Nothing like a wrench in the plot. I have read countless posts from multiple posters about how terrible the US is. Various reasons and ideas ranging from corruption, secret enterprises behind the White House, poor foreign policy, to just general distain about a variety of social situations.

Well...... Never fear, because.....

Iran Supreme Leader: The Shiite Islamic Messiah Is Coming To Free The World

Iran’s supreme leader is promising a world free of infidels and nonbelievers with the coming of the Islamic messiah, Mahdi, a 9th-century descendant of the prophet Mohammad whom the Shiites refer to as the 12th Imam.

“The coming of Imam Zaman (Mahdi) is the definite promise by Allah,” Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said in a speech Wednesday on the anniversary of Mahdi’s birthday at an exhibition of research and historical documents on the 12th Imam......

.....The Shiite clerical establishment ruling Iran believes that Iran’s 1979 revolution was a precursor to the coming of Mahdi, during which all infidels will be killed and the flag of Islam will be raised in all four corners of the world.

“The caravan of humanity from the day of creation has been moving through the windings of the hard maze (of life) … to reach an open path, (and) this open path is that of the time of the coming of Imam Mahdi,” he said. “The awaiting for the coming is a hopeful and powerful wait, providing the biggest opening for the Islamic society.”.......

........The supreme leader, in another recent statement covered by the Daily Caller, bluntly said that jihad will continue until America is destroyed.

“This battle will only end when the society can get rid of the oppressors’ front, with America at the head of it, which has expanded its claws on human mind, body and thought. … This requires a difficult and lengthy struggle and need for great strides,” he said.

-Is Barack Obama the “promised warrior” coming to help the Hidden Imam of Shiite Muslims conquer the world?
-What does Islam believe about the End?
-What Do Muslims Believe about Jesus?

My personal thoughts are that BOTH Christianity and Islam have claimed Jesus for themselves and both are off because Jesus is the Hebrew Messiah sent to fulfill the covenant. Man's kingdom giving way to God's globalized one, thanks JC.

[Aman A.K.A. Ahamburger]

If I were a Shitte I would be excited at the news that the
U.S. considers air strikes on Iraq, holds talks with Iran. Why? From the Forbes article above...

Is Barack Obama the “promised warrior” coming to help the Hidden Imam of Shiite Muslims conquer the world?

The question has made the rounds in Iran since last month, when a pro-government Web site published a Hadith (or tradition) from a Shiite text of the 17th century. The tradition comes from Bahar al-Anvar (meaning Oceans of Light) by Mullah Majlisi, a magnum opus in 132 volumes and the basis of modern Shiite Islam.

According to the tradition, Imam Ali Ibn Abi-Talib (the prophet’s cousin and son-in-law) prophesied that at the End of Times and just before the return of the Mahdi, the Ultimate Saviour, a “tall black man will assume the reins of government in the West.” Commanding “the strongest army on earth,” the new ruler in the West will carry “a clear sign” from the third imam, whose name was Hussein Ibn Ali. The tradition concludes: “Shiites should have no doubt that he is with us.”

In a curious coincidence Obama’s first and second names–Barack Hussein–mean “the blessing of Hussein” in Arabic and Persian. His family name, Obama, written in the Persian alphabet, reads O Ba Ma, which means “he is with us,” the magic formula in Majlisi’s tradition.

A song. A psalm of Asaph.

1 O God, do not remain silent;
do not turn a deaf ear,
do not stand aloof, O God.
2 See how your enemies growl,
how your foes rear their heads.
3 With cunning they conspire against your people;
they plot against those you cherish.
4 “Come,” they say, “let us destroy them as a nation,
so that Israel’s name is remembered no more.”
5 With one mind they plot together;
they form an alliance against you—
6 the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites,
of Moab and the Hagrites,
7 Byblos, Ammon and Amalek,
Philistia, with the people of Tyre.
8 Even Assyria has joined them
to reinforce Lot’s descendants.
9 Do to them as you did to Midian,
as you did to Sisera and Jabin at the river Kishon,
10 who perished at Endor
and became like dung on the ground.
11 Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb,
all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,
12 who said, “Let us take possession
of the pasturelands of God.”
13 Make them like tumbleweed, my God,
like chaff before the wind.
14 As fire consumes the forest
or a flame sets the mountains ablaze,
15 so pursue them with your tempest
and terrify them with your storm.
16 Cover their faces with shame, Lord,
so that they will seek your name.
17 May they ever be ashamed and dismayed;
may they perish in disgrace.
18 Let them know that you, whose name is the Lord—
that you alone are the Most High over all the earth.

Is the Kingdom of God collapsing?

No. The world is. 

[Aman A.K.A. Ahamburger]

Exactly, heart. Man's kingdom is collapsing for the same reason that Jewish people don't accept JC is the Messiah - yet. Peace.

Damn, what you're saying is evidence of the peril of man's kingdom. On earth as it is in heaven has yet to be achieved.

[damnotagain]

Your preaching to the choir. I know the difference between suffering on earth and heavens reward. JC gift assures us of that salvation ... I know I am a sinner , Who here isn't?
It is Gods grace not ours .

[Aman A.K.A. Ahamburger]

Exactly, humans need to treat each other better. The whole point of the Messiah's mission is to bring heaven on earth. This point has been drowned out by the consistent "end of the world" talk in the Christian and Islamic religions.

[Shooby]

Heaven on earth will not come until after the Second Coming and Jesus reigns on Earth. We are not going to set up Heaven on Earth by our own accord.

[Aman A.K.A. Ahamburger]

I hear ya Shooby. I have faith that when JC was here he set in motion a series of events that will result in the messianic age coming together after what is coming next. I believe that JC's return was a warning to the Romans - which was fulfilled - and that these next years are going to be a turning point in history just as when JC walked the earth was.

Something interesting to consider in this article because it's a very valid point back up with current events.

Preacher's Point: THE ISLAMIC STATE AND PSALM 83

Here is a rundown of how the Islamic State has been involved with each of the areas mentioned in Psalm 83 just in the past few weeks.

LEBANON

The BBC reports www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-29126129 that the Islamic State may be moving into Lebanon. The story tells of IS militants descending on the town of Arsai from the mountains. The report goes on to tell of the turmoil in Lebanon that is resulting in Lebanon's political elites “gradually losing control over the masses.”

SYRIA

Unless you have been living in a hole or have been recently hatched, you have at least heard that the Islamic State has been causing problems in Syria. Just in the last month IS has captured an airport and killed hundreds of Syrian troops. President Obama, on September 10 authorized the use of airstrikes in Iraq and Syria because of the havoc the IS has been causing.

JORDAN

On August 29 Reuters reported of a Jordanian man leaving his wife and children to go fight with the IS www.reuters.com/article/2014/08/29/us-jordan-security-islamicstate-idUSKBN0GT1CO20140829. The man was “highly regarded in his profession as a radiologist.” So this is not some disillusioned teenager that was conned into something.
On September 8 ABC News and USA Today, among others featured a story that the United States “fears” IS will attack Jordan. abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory/us-fears-islamic-state-group-attack-jordan-25360435 and www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2014/09/08/islamic-state-jordan/15306193/.


Jordan does have a peace treaty with Israel and has recently announced a deal to buy her natural gas from Israel, but according to Arutz Sheva 7 news www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/184981#.VBMRu6N41dh there are members of the Jordanian Parliament that want to cancel the gas deal and have the peace treaty annulled.

THE WEST BANK & GAZA STRIP (THE PALESTINIANS)

The Times of Israel reported on September 4 that Palestinians were joining the fight with the Islamic State www.timesofisrael.com/palestinians-said-heading-to-syria-iraq-to-join-islamic-state/. If you are wondering if the Palestinians are leaving to go fight with the IS how long will it be before the IS comes to join up with the Palestinians? No need to ask, it has already started. The same article reports of an Islamic State rally on the Temple Mount which was, “attended by thousands, was organized by the Tahrir party, which the report described as being the “Palestine branch” of Islamic State.”

The SINAI

When it comes to the Sinai many news outlets including the Times of Israel www.timesofisrael.com/islamic-state-reportedly-coaching-sinai-militants/ and Breitbart www.breitbart.com/Big-Peace/2014/09/06/Report-Islamic-State-Training-Muslim-Brotherhood-Arm-In-Sinai have reported The Islamic State have a training ground in the Sinai.

I understand what you're saying about how this is already God's Kingdom - and I agree with you. However, I also know that man has tried to set up many little kingdoms inside of it, and they have all ended poorly - regardless of what dogma they followed.

I'm not waiting for anything. This false kingdom of man is coming under the umbrella of the almighty, as I have outlined on this thread - and many others - with current events to back it up. For the longest time I believed that we were advanced enough that things would transition smoothly. As always, putting faith in humanity is never a good bet.

Court Rules: Police Must Allow Jewish Prayer on Temple Mount

Altar of the Lord Rebuilt in Jerusalem—A Sign of the Times?

The Temple Institute has rebuilt an altar to the Lord in Jerusalem, and international scholars are marveling at the significance behind it.

As part of the "Temple Movement" in Israel, the altar was inaugurated in December, and reports indicate it could be ready for Passover.

"We know that end-time prophecy cannot be fulfilled without the rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem," says New York Times best-selling author Jonathan Cahn. "The abomination desolation prophesied in Daniel and in the Gospels, must take place within the Temple precincts. So, too, the apostle Paul speaks of the 'man of sin,' or the Antichrist, sitting in the Temple of God. What many people don't realize is that along with the Holy of Holies, the altar of the Temple is the most central and critical part of the Temple."

The Temple Institute's goal "is to rekindle the flame of the Holy Temple in the hearts of mankind through education. Our long-term goal is to do all in our limited power to bring about the building of the Holy Temple in our time," according to their website.

Jewish pilgrims are seeing the impact of the rebuilt temple, as well.

"First of all this is God's kingdom, not mans."

You have an opinion, and I respect that...I don't agree with it.

This is not God's Kingdom...it is our little sand box, and we are not doing a very good job of playing nice in it, I agree.

If you look for things outside of yourself, to make life better or explain what is often absurd, you will be disappointed.

Believe in yourself...be the best you can be, and all that jazz. If there was a God, that is what s/he would tell you...and be a good person.

BTW, you have pretty good taste in music

[Aman A.K.A. Ahamburger]

Hey, RNB'! Nice to see ya around again, my friend - thanks for the compliment.

You are free to believe what you would like. It's going to be a crazy next 7-10 yrs, I will guarantee you that. And I don't mean like what we have been accustomed to crazy - I mean universally captivating, altering the course of humanity crazy.

My advice is to look outside yourself because that's where life happens. My four sons and my incredible wife are an inspiration to me, and make me want to do the best I can.

I'm always looking at what is going on around me, and I find that I meet lots of interesting people. For instance, I am currently entering into talks with a 70 year old about starting a business, who specializes in business that will help me with a different business partner. This guy has spent his life doing what he as a Christian calls God's work. His work includes things like; going to Africa to help with water projects, and dedicating his life to building an environmentally sustainable and peaceful business world.

In other words, I believe the more focus there is on I, the less focus there is on making your surrounds a better place. The way I see it, the more people that focus on making their surroundings a better place, the more people there are making their surroundings a better place. From there the phenomenon builds and compounds, and eventually the majority of people are being mature - making their surroundings a better place.

What The Hell Is All This Chatter About September 23rd?

September is the end of the Hebrew seven year Shemitah cycle. The Shemitah cycle, interestingly enough, ends September 13, 2015. The eight greatest economic crashes are all mysteriously connected to a biblical Sabbath year in September, and the pattern known in Hebrew as “the Shemitah”. Among the stunning findings, jaw-dropping links between the 9/11 terrorist attack and 100 percent of the worst U.S. economic calamities since World War II are all lined to the “Shemitah,” the biblical Sabbath year. But more than that – all of the great economic crashes in U.S. history, including the Great Depression, line up with Shemitah years. In 1987, a solar eclipse took place Sept. 23. In 1931, a solar eclipse took place on Sept. 12 – the end of a “Shemitah” year.

Once in a millennium blood moon, eclipse mean end of world?

Mr Bennedick has never subscribed to end of the world theories, but he believes the facts show the blood moon on September 28 will be historic.

It's the fourth in a tetrad (series of blood moons) landing on a Jewish festival.

At this time, there will also be a total solar eclipse and a partial solar eclipse.

"This kind of moon event has been associated with major changes in Israel and political systems worldwide," Mr Bennedick said.

Famous periods when this lunar line-up has occurred included the Spanish Inquisition, the start of the Second World War and, in 1948, when Israel became a nation...

...."What's special about this moon event is that it's a full blood moon with a solar eclipse and partial with it," Mr Bennedick said.

"The next time this will occur will be in another 1000 years."

And to make it even more momentous, Mr Bennedick said a "super moon" will also form over Israel about September 28....

...."There are signs on the earth and signs in the stars, warning for us as humans to think differently."
