I saw this article at another politics forum and it was my first realization that all three Abrahamic religions share a similar apocalyptic belief. Is there any real difference between what was mentioned above and the Evangelical Christian's belief that we have reached the "end times" as they eagerly await the "rapture?" Please understand that I am not being disrepectful of those beliefs, I simply don't share them.
Given that our President considers the Evangelicals as critical members of his base, one should ponder the number of nukes under his control v. the possibility of nukes that Iran may have. I find that to be far more significant than a date conjured up from an ancient prophacy.
I have heard "the end is near" predictions since I was a child, and I consider August 22 as just another example of the same.
