End of Days: Theories

[Abishai100]

The Bible states that at the End of Days, the mysterious Harlot of Babylon, the AntiChrist, and the dreaded manslayer will rise to prominence and lead men away from civics.

Modern times have seen a movement towards industrialization, computers, and sophisticated networking. The globally-popular social networking website Facebook allows everyone to upload photos to share on a public bulletin board, and businessmen, celebrities, and politicians alike are featured on 'profile pages' and marketing-savvy advertisements, making Facebook a terrific symbol of 'modernism consciousness.'

What if the AntiChrist is an American movie star who makes network-paranoia films such as The Wolf of Wall Street? What if the mysterious Harlot of Babylon is an airline stewardess (for American Airlines) involved in an intricate narcotics-smuggling operation? What if the dreaded manslayer is an Internet hacker who spreads some kind of anti-networking 'frame-interfering Facebook super-virus'?

The prophetic Christian 'war in heaven' (between God's archangel Michael and Satan and his fallen angels) symbolizes a human curiosity about 'social stigmas.' Nobody wants to be on the losing side of such a war.

Perhaps we can coordinate 'modernism paranoia' with 'network storytelling.'

Modernism-modelling would therefore comprise one 'approach' or 'theory' of end-times investments.

MICHAEL: Do you 'Facebook'?
ANTICHRIST: Who doesn't?
MANSLAYER: Facebook is simply 'junk food.'

MICHAEL: Are you distracted by the Harlot of Babylon?
ANTICHRIST: Who isn't?
MANSLAYER: I'm distracted by Facebook.

MICHAEL: Man fears the Internet virus more than anything.
ANTICHRIST: What happened to AIDS?
MANSLAYER: The new 'virus' is ISIS.

Why bother? The Bible gives us a blow by blow account and assures accuracy.

Rear Window

Perhaps the Bible is a great stand-alone text, but interpreting modernization applications can help us better appreciate/evaluate 'cultural shock.' I personally like 'modernization-apocalypto' films such as The 6th Day and 12 Monkeys.

Anecdotally, the sports glories of African-American baseball player Satchel Paige changed the way we looked at the mingling of races/ethnicities in American sports, and sports (and all of its media coverage) is a very modern phenomenon.

End of days does not mean what people think like we are going to have some horrific catastrophe.. On the contrary ....When the Jewish people sit and read from the Passover Hagaddah during the celebration of Passover There is a passage that is read and interpreted as such All the days of your life are the Days of your life but the Nights belong to the times of the Moschiach... Once again Hebrew is a poetic to toungue and the prophets and Jewish sages used it as such...It does not mean that we are literally coming to the end of days but that we as people have been living poetically in the times of the day and then when Moshiach arrives we will enter into the night... Now this is a theme that is used over and over where the day star is replaced by the night star...The Hebrews used things such as stars to poetically symbolize these ideas because they were higher up then us and could remind us of these themes by looking there and finding them in the sky.. We do the same thing when we are wearing the taless or Jewish prayer shawl where we look at it and it symbolically reminds us of the laws and customs that we are to follow ...One such star in the sky was the planet Venus which in the morning when one woke up represented work and toil and hardship but towards the end of the day after all the people had done it was seen as rest and relaxation and sleep and pleasant dreams...So the deeper meaning was also that all our toils and tribulations from the Days will end and during the coming of the moschiach when he overturns the Days and ends them we will enter the Nights....Now there is more to this symbolism but for those with open minds and hearts one will begin to see these simple truths and realize which side is coming from truth and which side is full of lies and false images and vanity and basically doesn't know what they are talking about through shear ignorance....That is why in the end you are told that you will take ahold of the coat of the Jew to explain these simple truthes so that you will no longer live with the lies you were taught...Again no debating just throwing it out there for those of you that really want to learn and grow...
