Actually, I don't remember doing that at all....most of the thread I've simply ignored you, but I've taken some of the worst heat from you in this thread in the form of insults. Not that I care personally too much, but the underlying lack of respect is a problem. I think that most other can say the same, suggesting that you should probably look in the mirror before flinging insults around.Consider yourself warned.
Even though you say you have "ignored" my responses, you seem to be intrigued with this thread by making agitative remarks and idle threats. And, yes, you did make reference to some of those terms in your babblings. And if you will recall, you are the one who initiated this whole rash of backlashing by calling my original posts, quote, "2 BS threads on Nostradamus" and trying to get me banned for spam. Evidently, you've done the same to other members as you have indicated by someone referring to you as "digitart". If killermovies.com had any insight at all, they would see you for the antagonist you are and ban you from any further postings on this thread. But my message to you is this: If you can't contribute any relevant input to the subject matter of this discussion then...GET OFF THIS THREAD!!...AND STAY OFF!!!...And that goes for anyone else who can't restrict their comments to the pertinence of the subject matter at hand, good or bad, I don't care, but if you can't then...GO AWAY!!...AND STAY AWAY!!!
Re: Did Nostradamus predict the rapture in September 2007 ?

When the dead will come out of their graves.The great number accomplished...2000...the year 7 of that number(near the great millennium)...2007. Nostradamus mentions the games of hecatombe(Jeux d'Hecatombe). Most interpretations have this quoted as the "games of slaughter" but let's look at this verse more closely. Hecatombe was an event which occurred on the 4th day of the Olympic games of ancient Greece in Athens every 4 years. On that day 100 cattle were slaughtered and sacrificed to the gods and everyone feasted for free...a big time BBQ. Sporting events held on that day included running, but more importantly, wrestling, boxing and the most violent one, pankration, which was a combination of wrestling, boxing, kicking...a no holds barred competition where the participants wore no gloves or wrappings on their fists. I believe it was the most popular event of the entire Olympic games. Indeed, the day of Hecatombe was probably the favorite day of the Olympics and one Nostradamus could substantially attach to one of his visions or prophecies in relating what he saw. This year from September 18-23 the 2007 World Olympic Wrestling Championships will be held in Baku,(which interestingly means either "God" or "mount of God"😉 Azerbaijan. Notably as well, Rosh HaShannah(the 10-day Jewish holiday of the "Feast of Trumpets"😉 begins on September 12 and culminates on Yom Kippur,("Day of Atonement"😉 the most holy of all Jewish holidays, September 22. Many believe that the Messiah (Moshiach) will return during this time of the Feast of Trumpets and the dead will be resurrected when the last (7th) shofar blows. Could Nostradamus have seen the dead coming out of their graves as mentioned in the Bible? And could all this happen during the Feast of Trumpets, perhaps on Yom Kippur, September 22, 2007?
The Rapture will not happen. Predictions for the date of the End of the World has always been incorrect and conflicting. Unless the end of the world is being poseponed.
I do not beleive the Bible is absolute truth, in fact, I find it very flawed.
Thus, any prediction about Rapture, I will not take seriously. And I usually find myself at odds with people who try to push the idea of rapture.
no offense but who gives a crap? our lives won't change any. the only thing that i'll marginally regret is that the berserk manga won't finish on time and i'll go to hell swearing at Kentaro muira for taking his sweet time with it.
but seriously, when was the last time people correctly deciphered a prophecy. in christianity in the earlier days the preists used to go around saying that 200 A.D would be the end of the world and then kept on being proven wrong...till the point they decided to stop doing it.
i don't think its too different with nostradumbass. it'd be better if he'd have not jotted down some halfassed crap that doesn't make sense or winds up being read the wrong way round around. he probably had his reasons but the fact of the matter is the crap he's written down has neither made anything easier nor has it ever helped in a tragedy from being stopped or avoided. so despite all his work....it utterly useless. its like being given a cheat sheet right after the exam is over so you can smack yourself in the head and whine "why i didn't see it that way?!"
so if the rapture does occurs, will we stop living till that day? is the world going to change till then? are we all going to go down on our knees and ask the lord for mercy and forgiveness?
probably not. what i do know is that i'm not going to sit on my @$$ and wait for an event that may or may not take place.
