85 Seconds to Go!
On Tuesday, January 27, the Doomsday Clock of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists was adjusted from 89 seconds to midnight to only 85 seconds—the closest it has ever been since these scientists first began reporting their opinion in 1947. This tool is used to represent how close they believe mankind is to destroying the world—the closer to midnight, the higher they believe the risk. Rather than a reduction of nuclear risks, 2025 saw the intensification of three regional conflicts, each involving foes with nuclear capabilities. All parties claim a willingness to pay any price to win.
Then, not to be outdone, our Infallible Crackpot Prophet and his trusty sidekick had to also weigh in with their usual useless megalomaniac blather:
So there you have it, folks. While the so-called experts at the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists are wringing their hands over 85 seconds to midnight—the closest we've ever been, apparently—Dr. Thiel is here to set the record straight with the real clock: God's unbreakable prophetic timetable. Forget nuclear winter, climate doom, or sneaky disinformation campaigns; the Bible has the exclusive scoop on the wars, famines, pestilences, and persecutions that are definitely barreling toward us any day now (just like they've been "any day now" for decades).CBS: Doomsday clock keeps ticking
Are we on the eve of destruction? Humankind has had the ability to annihilate itself for quite some time now. And there doesn’t seem to be a major drive by humanity to lower the risk. So, are we close? Is one or more of the nuclear powers ready to “pull the trigger”? Is climate change about to destroy us all? How about the imminent threat of ‘disinformation’? Will that be the cause of humanity’s extinction? Well, if the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists is asked that question, the answer is that we are closer to annihilation now than we have ever been in the past, and all three of those causes are contributing to the danger. What does the word of God say? Are there any events, revealed in the Bible, that must take place before “the end is near”? Yes. And Dr. Thiel uses the word of God to detail those events that are soon to take place. Those events prophesied in the Bible definitely do include wars. But they also include false prophets, famines, pestilences and persecutions. But when those events do take place, and they surely will, will that finally be the end of all humanity? Will Satan actually win in the end? Is the Great Tribulation the end of mankind or the beginning of a new kingdom; the millennial kingdom of God? Jesus did warn us not to be deceived by disinformation. He also encouraged us to properly watch, and pray, and live our life by His principals and commandments. Watch this video as Dr. Thiel shines the light of Biblical prophecy on the Doomsday Clock and current world events.
Stay vigilant, brethren. The tribulation might start tomorrow... or in 2030... or whenever the next reset happens. But when it does, you'll know who called it first. Woo-hoo.

The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists is a political action group, not a scientific organization. They're entitled to their opinion, but it's an opinion grounded in the kind of politics that Armstrongism would associate with the Beast power, so I've always found it odd that the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists is so beloved by the ACOGs.
Why is it that so many Church of God groups get positively giddy every time someone mentions the Doomsday Clock?
Because we're all doomed. Simply put.
And without Jesus, we're really, really doomed.
Whatever views the BOAS hold of world affairs they have nothing whatsoever to do with the ACOGs. Armstrong earned the reward for complete irrelevance regarding world affairs the moment he predicted the end of the world and great tribulations to be in 1936 . Then to rub salt into the world this bombastic individual repeated it all over again at other times. ACOGs merely continue the irrelevancy.
Blame it on the liberals?
Seriously, I adopted the power of paradoxical thinking decades ago. As in, who cares if the world ends? Bring it on! Now it seems as if life just keeps churning on, and on, and on! But, for the people who worry about the end, every scary little bit of news sets them off to worrying.
What gets me is that these groups regard the possible arrival or arrival of WW 3 as a justification for the gross mistreatment of their members. This is the world's 'the end justifies the means' thinking.
Where did Christ ever teach or practice this?
Interesting to me is that Islam's Doomsday cult is Shiitism as practised by the Iranian Clerics in particular. These people just shot 36000 youngsters......It seems such death cults are geered against youngsters and innovation as well.
nck
I seriously doubt that most people understand or consider what goes into the Doomsday Clock. They never get oast the cliches.
Using a parallel example, although one that has nothing to do with the end of the world, I've found that people who can't appreciate funk music do not understand the concept of polyrhythms. Each instrument in the band is creating its own rhythm pattern, as well as playing the musical notes. This is as opposed to playing together to form a melody. When combined properly, it is a marvel.. You may not be able to hum or whistle it, but reaches in deep and grabs you on a whole nother level.
Yeah. A different part of the Iranian gene pool needs to be cleaned up. The kids were actually OK.
Yes nck, terrible events in Iran. Some commentators are saying close to or exceeding 70000 dead and tens of thousands injured. What is the weather in the Middle East today? Sunni or Shiite. For the suffering Iranians it is definitely Shiite. Hope these murderous b*st*rds are soon toasted. I was due in Tehran mid 1978 but had to make a sudden change as things spiralled out of control with riots against the Shah. I journeyed on to Israel where I lived for two years and watched events in Iran with concern. I met a number of Jewish Iranians, in my town, refugees from the revolution and they articulated what they thought would be the outcome. And so it was. Yes the Mullahs are a death cult and snare. What saddens me is negotiations with this barbarous regime. The western world still doesn’t get it about Islam. The west will reap the whirlwind they have sown.
Bob Thiel, prophet falsely so-called, asked:
"...Are we on the eve of destruction? Humankind has had the ability to annihilate itself for quite some time now. And there doesn’t seem to be a major drive by humanity to lower the risk. So, are we close? Is one or more of the nuclear powers ready to “pull the trigger”? Is climate change about to destroy us all? How about the imminent threat of ‘disinformation’? Will that be the cause of humanity’s extinction? Well, if the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists is asked that question, the answer is that we are closer to annihilation now than we have ever been in the past, and all three of those causes are contributing to the danger. What does the word of God say?..."
******
What does doomsday mean? One Merriam-Webster definition says: "1. A Day of final judgment." Another definition says: "2. A time of catastrophic destruction and death."
What is in Bob Thiel's mind? He mentioned phrases such as: "...Humankind has had the ability to annihilate itself...the cause of humanity’s extinction...closer to annihilation..."
Throughout history there have been numerous times of catastrophic destruction and death: numerous doomsdays by definition 2. We may expect more in the future. Why not? History repeating itself over and over again, but what does the word of God say?
But a day of final judgment? Matthew 25:31-46 shows a final judgment between sheep and goats: between human beings and the evil Satan and his angels.
Looking ahead, prior to the so-called millennium, will there be humanity's extinction/annihilation via the 7 Trumps? No.
Looking ahead, during the 1,000 years, will there be humanity's extinction/annihilation? No.
Looking ahead, after those 1,000 years and during that short/little time/season, will there be humanity's extinction/annihilation via the 7 Vials: 7 Last Plagues? Yes, because the destruction will be so much more than a 1/3 of this, and a 1/3 of that, being destroyed; it will be total extinction/annihilation and an angel will say: "It is done." And it will be done! Just read the description of those Vials in the book of Revelation and think how humanity could survive all 7 of them.
Of course, Bob Thiel believes in a Mickey Mouse Millennium with his "another Jesus" who will "very soon" return to earth to establish His reign on earth for 1,000 years and then fail during that short/little time/season after Satan is allowed to exit some pit, followed which will be followed by those 7 Vials.
So, yes, every day that passes we are one day closer to more times of catastrophic destruction and death, but are we also closer to a day of judgment: the day of judgment?
Time will tell...

I seriously doubt that much of the public even knows about it.
"But you tell me
Over and over and over again, my friend
How you don't believe
We're on the eve of destruction."
- Barry McGuire, 1965
The big destruction, RL, is going to be the day of reckoning as regards the national debt. Both parties exacerbate this, the Dems by their incessant tax and spend policies, and the Repubs with the continual tax reductions which exceeded stimulative value and entered into negative territory during "W"'s administration. It's gone beyond the simplicity of raising taxes, and quitting spending. Interest paid to service the national debt is now at critical mass and will soon tank the economy. I'd actually like the president's tariffs if 100% of them went to pay off the national debt, but he's talking about sending out checks, buying votes instead of paying the debt.
