The Prophet speaks! Heed his words!
Armstrongism still needs to find the bogeyman in all world events. It's no wonder their little cults are not growing!
When I watched some o of the “Occupy Wall Street”
protesters/leaders interviewed, the following sections of scripture came
to mind:
1 But know this, that in the last days perilous times
will come: 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money,
boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful,
unholy, 3 unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control,
brutal, despisers of good, 4 traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of
pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having a form of godliness but
denying its power. And from such people turn away! 6 For of this sort
are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women
loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, 7 always learning and
never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. (2 Timothy 3:1-8) 8
For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And
there will be earthquakes in various places, and there will be famines
and troubles. These are the beginnings of sorrows. (Mark 13:8)
We are living in the last days and at least some of the protesters
seemed to be fulfilling much of the above. The London riots and the
flash mobs in the USA this past summer also brought these verses to
mind. The sorrows and troubles are just beginning (Matthew 24:5-8) and
will get much worse (Matthew 24:21-22). I believe that class warfare and
other protests will help weaken the USA and other Anglo-nations and may
also be a factor in them being vulnerable to real warfare: invasion by
the Beast. (I also suspect that protests and civil unrest in Europe will be factors in the actual rise the Beast, as he will be a militaristic leader cf. Revelation 13:4.) As Jesus said:
