If my daughter is born on July 11 I'll be a little weirded out....
I am not a tin-foil-wearing conspiracy theorist, so don't take things I say too seriously, especially this.... BUT... if I were a wacko like that, I would seriously predict that on July 11 of this year, the anti-Christ will rise! Seriously.... check this out...
OK, you've got the whole Obama is the anti-Christ wackjobs out there (and that's exactly what they are.... wackjobs). Combine that with the uber-libertarian, oh-no-it's-1984 wackjobs (and that's exactly what they are.... wackjobs). Combine that with the actual things Obama is really doing - unprecedented things. Ridiculously off the chart defecit spending. Using White House executive power to fire a CEO in the private sector. Forcing GM and Crysler into bankruptcy.... yadda yadda yadda... And it's not too implausible to think that this country is on it's way into the ground.... fast, and President Obama is taking us there. Now, I disagree with much of what Obama is doing, and I didn't vote for him, but he is still my president and I will respect him as such. I don't buy into this nonsense, because honestly it holds about as much water as "Loose Change". But the theory is still out there as a slowly kindling flame and I'm about to throw some gas on it.
Here's the real kicker that will make you roll your eyes. You know that whole Mayan prophecy thing about how their calendar mysteriously ends at 12/22/2012? The X-Files said it was the date of the final alien invasion. Nostradomas said that some giant comet would pass very near Earth to cause some crazy things to happen - like total destruction of the economy and global warfare. Lots of wacky stuff.
But. The Bible predicts that the first 1/2 of the Tribulation period will be relatively tame. Tame, that is, when compared to the second half - when things really get out of control. (You know, when people beg rocks to crush them to death.... yeah, not fun). Anyway, 1/2 a Tribulation period is 3.5 years, which roughly estimated (at least the way they counted things in the Bible - and don't get started on inacuracies, this was before Pope Gregory) is 1260 days. If you really want to be "accurate", on a 365 day/year calendar it would be about 1277 days.
Guess what day is 1260 days after July 11, 2009 and 1277 days after June 24, 2009? December 22, 2012.
So, could the relatively tame first half of the tribulation begin within the next 30 or so days? 3.5 years later, on 12/22/2012, God sends a big comet to shake things up. Could June 24 or July 11 be rapture day? Of course there's the whole "nobody knows the day or the hour" thing, so for that and many other reasons I don't put any stock in this, but.... It's kinda crazy to think about. All I know is if Obama keeps messing up the economy the way he is, then sooner or later, "a piece of bread could buy a bag of gold"... And we'll all watch it on the six o'clock news. I hope we'll all be ready.
Anyway, don't take anything I said seriously. It'll probably just be another standard warm summer this year (sorry to all you Aussies out there), and life will go on like normal. The scary thing is, I may have inadvertantly just given some fuel to the fire of some real wackjobs out there. If you hear anyone quoting me and saying it's true, just remind them that I made it up. Sigh, oh well... maybe I'll go put it on Wikipedia.
