EXACT DATES OR TIME PERIODS---What should concern us 2012 OR the time period of 1914 into our age & WHY....?

.......SINCE A LOT has been said about the exact date 2012 & much has been written about 1914--such as:

-- “Civilization entered on a cruel and perhaps terminal illness in 1914.”—Frank Peters, St. Louis Post-Dispatch, January 27, 1980.

-- “Everything would get better and better. This was the world I was born in. . . . Suddenly, unexpectedly, one morning in 1914 the whole thing came to an end.”—British statesman Harold Macmillan, The New York Times, November 23, 1980.

COULD, WHAT AS IS WRITTEN AT Rev. 12:12 have merit, as indeed the "short period of time " left for Satan's terrorism & mayhem on the earth?

(Revelation 12:12)

“12 On this account be glad, YOU heavens and YOU who reside in them! Woe for the earth and for the sea, because the Devil has come down to YOU, having great anger, knowing he has a short period of time.””

    Chronology of the Bible points to the year 1914 as the year that God's kingdom began ruling again in heaven with Jesus Christ as king after the seven times the gentiles would rule. Christ Jesus' first act as king was to oust Satan and his demons out of heaven, down to the vicinity of the earth they were hurled causing woe for the earth and her inhabitants. And Satan has come with great anger knowing his time is short. We are deep into the time of the end. Are you ready?

    it really is conceivable that the turning factor is more suitable cutting-edge. besides the actual shown actuality that international Wars a million and a pair of were fairly undesirable and tens of millions of human beings died both in the course of and interior the aftermath, there has been a needed change in the course of the perfect decade interior the kind in which wars are finished and interior the international influence of those wars. i'm relating the destruction of the dual Towers in September 2001. Terrorism interior the variety of an alleged non secular and holy conflict hostile to us of a (and those who help her) has escalated and now engulfs many countries. Islam (the fundamentalist, severe version) is out for international domination. maximum persons nevertheless have our heads interior the sand. And enable's no longer forget what's taking position in Israel and the continuing warfare there. the version between both international Wars and what's taking position now might want to be faith. definite, power, wealth, oil etc., all come into it, yet this warfare is going way previous that. a minimum of, that is my opinion. 'delivery pangs' is a good description, because they could pass on, and on, and on, construction as a lot as a climax that is frequently short. in spite of the indisputable fact that the quick era of time suggested in Revelation also signifies that this does no longer propose 1000's of years. It concerns no longer, because no-one is acquainted with the day or the hour. we could continuously be residing daily of our Christian life as if it may well be our very last, so as that once Jesus does are available in glory we can bend our knee willingly.

    World War I was the first major conflict that was considered to be world-wide (it wasn't, but WW II was). All other wars (to that time) were minor in comparison, though I have to wonder with respect to some of the other major conflicts over time. I think that the major thing about WW I was that it was the first of the "modern" wars and took place as people became more "enlightened" and were growing beyond the need for mere war to settle differences.

    2012 is nothing but a big hoax and occupies our time, thanks to hollywood and other doomsdayer chicken little types.

    As to why they should concern us, history is history and its study is important so that we don't repeat the same mistakes. Unfortunately, we don't learn the lessons of history and set up the same conditions that contributed to major problems of the past.

    But you point out the same problem that has plagued us (humans) since long before we were born -- a fascination with a future that may or may not be particularly happy. It is both social and individual, in nature.

    Social, because the results of war are devastating to a society. Individual because it is up to the individual to choose to let dire predictions or happenings occupy their time to distraction away from things that are more important (which are also individual in nature).

    This short period of respite satan has supposedly started the moment he was kicked out of God's kingdom. This is apparent through his successful attempt to get Adam and Eve kicked out of paradise. People have felt they were living in the last days since the beginning. No doubt. We shouldn't be worried about 2012 or any other date for that matter. When has mankind EVER been able to pinpoint an exact date? More so, doesn't the bible say that no one knows the last hour save God?

    1914 was the start of the first world war. That's why people wrote about it.

    2012 is a story made up by a new age 'master' called Jose Arguelles who is basically a mental patient. Since he made up his story lots of other people have jumped on the 2012 bandwagon inventing reasons why it's going to happen, justifying them with scientific theories they don't understand, i assume in order to sell things to gullible people.

    Look we aren't going to all die in 2012, if we do get in trouble it will be from our government not from natural disasters.
