br> Israel /p> p> MAKING ENDS MEET br> Re: Jeremy Lott's The End Is Nigh -- Again : /p> p>Dear sir. Hal Lindsey has never stated a date of the end. (Thus Hal Lindsey and company can still say that the world is going to end -- really! -- by 1975 or 1984 or 2000 or, let us say, 2005, and keep a straight face and a large audience. ) In fact if you were to listen and understand, Mr. Lindsey does not even preach the end of the world, just this world's system. Thank you sincerely, br> -- Gene Sevenau /p>

I am glad to see that people are beginning to realize that environmental extremists are a religious bunch. People do not realize that Hinduism and Buddhism are pantheistic and believe that god is in all, and is all. This includes animals and plants. Kharma, Zen, yoga, Gaia (the same earth spirit that Al Gore believes in), and even Capt. Planet are not just P.C. clichés but are actual religious tenets, and our society has become steeped in it due to multiculturalism. Remember the Pledge of Allegiance? Monotheism vs. monism, God separate from creation or part of a eternal universe, reincarnated over and over (it works for the so-called atheists that call it evolution). Even secular humanism is a religion --the state-funded religion of America. Call it the New Age faith based initiative charter model.

p>As for the Revelation of Jesus Christ to the Apostle John it is to be understood by comparing the prophecies Jesus gave to his disciples, the book of Ezekiel, Jeremiah, and the other Prophets. Watching one TV show or one commentary does not a Biblical scholar make. Enough study might make one realize that in totality the Bible is foretelling the "end-time" for the devil and his reign. The one factor overlooked for 1,868 years was the non-existence of the nation of Israel. Malthus and others wish to spiritualize what they do not understand or like. The Bible does not say the world will end, but Jesus will return before mankind completely annihilates itself. br> --
