Oh yeah, the Anthrax in the mail...Did they ever catch the guy responsible for that?

When these plagues start, they government in charge at that time will quietly get rid of opposition and easily explain it away as part of the pandemic.

all that happened already, A.D. 70

Are you saying that prophecy was fulfilled in AD 70? The Book was beleived to be written after that, so that wouldn't be a prophecy then.

yep, saying Revelations and the rest of the NT for that matter was written before 70AD.

for example, internal evidence such as Rev. 11 (the temple was still standing), demands a pre-70 AD writing. ...another example is Jesus predicted the destruction of the temple before His generation passed away and we know that this(Temple destruction) happened in the year AD70. So if John wrote in AD95, why wouldn’t he have proclaimed that Jesus’ prediction had come true like was the custom of the New Testament writers when something was fulfilled? If I remember correctly, there Iraneus is the only source for a AD 95 dating...and he also beleived Jesus lived into his 50's

anyway, this guy has wrote alot on this subject. Buy this and it leads to either a Post-Mil or Amillenial worldview, both of which are more optimistic since you aren't waiting around for doomsday to occur.

Screw the Flu, Fly Ryanair....


The outspoken head of the Irish budget airline Ryanair has dismissed apocalyptic warnings of a global swine flu pandemic, saying that the virus was only a risk to Asians and Mexicans “living in slums”.

Michael O’Leary, who pioneered the 1p fares which transformed European aviation, told a press conference that he did not think the virus that is thought to have killed around 150 people in Mexico would wipe out his firm's business this summer despite UN warnings of a pandemic.

“Are we going to die from swine flu? No. Are we in danger of SARS? No. Foot and mouth disease? No. Will it affect people flying short-haul flights around Europe this summer? Thankfully, no," Mr O'Leary said.

He added: “It is a tragedy only for people living ... in slums in Asia or Mexico. But will the honeymoon couple from Edinburgh die? No. A couple of Strepsils will do the job."

So far only two swine flu cases have been confirmed in Britain, a couple who returned from their honeymoon in Cancun last week and took ill at the weekend. Iain and Dawn Askham of Polmont, near Falkirk in Scotland, are said to be responding well to treatment with anti-viral drugs at an isolation ward in Lanarkshire.

Curiously, there have been no deaths from the virus outside Mexico and doctors have been unable to explain the high level of mortality in the country.

I chose Jamaica over Cancun/Playa Del Carmen for a trip later this year, tough call but right now I'm glad.

on other hand this scare along with the media playing up the drug cartels, along with the economy, may make for some killer deals in Mexico

Well that's going to change. As I've said, I'm sure I had it when I had teh flu last week. One of my meetings was w/a guy from Britain (plus two people from Utah). That doesn't even include the people exposed on the plane flights.

Go to your Doctor, get a blood test. Have him send the blood to the CDC in Atlanta, and let them check the antibodies.

You may have had it, and you will make "Good Morning America" as a "Swine Flu Survivor"
