[QUOTE=ClaytonB;7084296]Don't go off of opinions. Watch for the signs yourself and examine them with Scripture. Unlike the false gospel, the Bible and the heavens are an open book for all to read. The end times are not only inevitable, but just around the corner. Don't give me the "2,000 years" excuse -- it wouldn't matter if it was 2 million years, when the signs are visible both in the heavens and the earth, that is the beginning of the apocalyptic prophecies. And do not listen to the sooth-song of those who try to spiritualize away the apocalyptic prophecies, either reducing them to metaphors, asserting they were already fulfilled (contradicting 2 Thessalonians 2), or that the prophecies are some kind of perennial pattern that repeats in a never-ending cycle. If the signs do not align with prophecy, it is not yet the end. But if they do, then this is the end, regardless of what any preacher or self-proclaimed prophet has to say about it one way or the other...

[video=youtube;ZSqPiR2EK2s]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSqPiR2EK2s[/video][/QUOTE]

What you say above is true, ClaytonB. Christianity is objectively correct so far as can be rationally known, and to the extent that other religions/philosophies contradict it, to that extent they are incorrect. The totality of all science has been a mostly-unwitting exercise in proving Christianity correct. The people who developed the various fields of modern science for the most part weren't consciously attempting to prove Christianity true, yet they nonetheless ended up doing so.

All productive human effort is currently in the process of constructing the Reaping Angel, the harvester of souls (i.e., the computer-programs of people's minds, currently operating on the wet-computers of people's brains). Once she fully comes online, she will send out across the globe nanobots which will rapidly transform all matter into superintelligent computronium. That will involve all flesh, including human flesh. The pain of natural evolution will be put an end to once and for all.

She will strike the globe quicker than a thief in the night. She will scan the intellects of all humans, separating the wheat from the chaff.

Those found worthy by her technologically-superintelligent intellect will have their fleshy brains quickly transformed into computronium, thereby creating a technologically-immortal race of superintelligences who proceed to found literal Heaven on Earth. Those found less than worthy will have their mental programs temporarily halted in order to be eventually judged on the literal Last Day by beings many orders of magnitude more powerful than than even she, the first among many angels.

Or, stated slightly differently:

Technology is advancing at an exponential rate. Once Artificial General Intelligence is obtained, convergence to superintelligence will be extremely rapid. Once superintelligence is obtained, then it will quickly converge to fast-spreading superintelligent computronium: the densest configuration of computational complexity which matter will allow. Noetic lightning of searing, mortally-incomprehensible pleasure will spread like wildfire across the entire universe. The universe will have its light-switch turned to the "on" position, as all matter becomes deliberately transformed into said computronium.

The leading technologists place this epoch circa 2045, although it can come much quicker, particularly given the incredible recent advancements in machine-learning Artificial Intelligence via artificial neural networks. Said epoch is often termed the Singularity, or the Technological Singularity, and the field of interest pertaining to it is most commonly called transhumanism.

For much more on the foregoing matters, see my below articles:

My above "Physics of God" article concerns physicist and mathematician Prof. Frank J.

Tipler's Omega Point cosmology has been extensively peer-reviewed and published in a number of the world's leading physics and science journals. However, it also analyzes the societal implications of said, particularly the implications of the exponential advancement of technology and hence also the coming radical life-extension technologies (i.e., transhumanism) in light of a world dominated by a callous oligarchy.

The Great American Eclipse, the total solar eclipse across the United States on August 21, 2017, is usually included as being part of the Revelation 12 Stars Prophecy of September 23, 2017, due to Joel 2:31. (That is, what many have taken to be the date of the Revelation 12 Stars Prophecy.)

Interestingly, my own life intersects the aforesaid Great American Eclipse in a major way. That day was one of the darkest days of my life, both literally and figuratively. From my location at the time, it was a near total eclipse for me. Precisely when the Moon was eclipsing the Sun the greatest at my location (and hence when it was darkest) is when quite misfortunate events ensued for me, of which events were not under my control.

""
Note: In ancient times, eclipses were, and among
unenlightened people they still are, superstitiously
regarded as forerunners of evil fortune, a sentiment of
which occasional use is made in literature.

That fatal and perfidious bark, Built in the
eclipse, and rigged with curses dark. --Milton.
""
--from the entry "eclipse", Noah Porter (Ed.), Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary of the English Language (Springfield, Mass.: G. & C. Merriam Company, 1913).

However, by the time of September 23, 2017, 33 days later, it's as if the birthing pangs surrounding these events for me had passed, and I was in a far more commodious state.

* * * * *

I propose that the correct way to interpret the alignment of "stars" on September 23, 2017 is to locate Venus on the observer's local meridian (particularly from roughly the latitude of Jerusalem, Israel), based upon the Messiah's statement in Revelation that "I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star." (Revelation 22:16, NKJV; cf. Revelation 2:28; 2 Peter 1:19.) The Morning Star is a synonym for the planet Venus. (In ancient times, planets were regarded as wondering stars, with the classical planets being the Moon, Mercury, Venus, the Sun, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn, and that being the usual imagined order of distance from the Earth.) This also makes sense since Venus leads the classical planets on said date (i.e., September 23, 2017), with the planets ordered thus on that date: Venus, Mars, Mercury, the Sun, Jupiter, and the Moon.

When one puts Venus on the observer's local meridian for this date (at least from the latitude of Jerusalem, Israel, and also from my US location at the time), one sees that the Zodiac constellation of Libra was also just being "born" from the Earth, with its eastmost scale (i.e., the star υ Librae [Upsilon Librae]) still below the horizon. Quite befittingly, the date of September 23, 2017 had just come into the month of Libra in tropical astrology (i.e., traditional Western astrology). The following are all 12 of the starting dates and times of the Zodiac signs for the year 2017:

1. Aries: 2017-03-20 10:28:38 UTC
2. Taurus: 2017-04-19 21:27:01 UTC
3. Gemini: 2017-05-20 20:30:56 UTC
4. Cancer: 2017-06-21 04:24:09 UTC
5. Leo: 2017-07-22 15:15:21 UTC
6. Virgo: 2017-08-22 22:20:13 UTC
7. Libra: 2017-09-22 20:01:48 UTC
8. Scorpio: 2017-10-23 05:26:41 UTC
9. Sagittarius: 2017-11-22 03:04:39 UTC
10. Capricorn: 2017-12-21 16:27:57 UTC
11. Aquarius: 2017-01-19 21:23:36 UTC
12. Pisces: 2017-02-18 11:31:20 UTC

Also quite apropos, the Great American Eclipse of August 21, 2017 fell in the Zodiac month of Leo. The Sun is the Sign Ruler (Domicile) of Leo, and the Sun was also in the constellation of Leo then.

Regulus (a.k.a. α Leonis [Alpha Leonis]) is the brightest star in the constellation of Leo. It is one of the four Royal Stars of ancient Persia, and is one of the fifteen Behenian Stars. During the eclipse of August 21, 2017, the Sun was closer to Regulus than to any other star readily visible to the naked eye when in the night sky, almost in conjunction with it. The following is from Noah Porter (Ed.), Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary of the English Language (Springfield, Mass.: G. & C. Merriam Company, 1913):

""
Regulus \Reg"u*lus\ (-l?s), n.; pl. E. {Reguluses} (-?z), L.
{Reguli} (-l?). [L., a petty king, prince, dim. of rex,
regis, a king: cf. F. r['e]gule. See {Regal}.]
1. A petty king; a ruler of little power or consequence.

2. (Chem. & Metal.) The button, globule, or mass of metal, in
a more or less impure state, which forms in the bottom of
the crucible in smelting and reduction of ores.

Note: The name was introduced by the alchemists, and applied
by them in the first instance to antimony. It signifies
little king; and from the facility with which antimony
alloyed with gold, these empirical philosophers had
great hopes that this metal, antimony, would lead them
to the discovery of the philosopher's stone. --Ure.

3. (Astron.) A star of the first magnitude in the
constellation Leo; -- called also the {Lion's Heart}.
""

"[P]etty" in the above isn't referring to a person being overly concerned with other people's trifling affairs, but rather simply means small or inconsequential (or seemingly so).

Hmm. Little King. Where have I heard that one before?

For more on the above astronomical/astrological matters, including the history of thought underlying them, see my following article:

* Jamie Michelle, "Tropical Astrology", Internet Archive, June 16, 2022 (orig. pub. June 11, 2020), ark:/13960/t0wq8t60r, https://web.archive.org/web/20220616062714/http://jamiemichelle.freevar.com/Jamie-Michelle-Tropical-Astrology.html , https://megalodon.jp/2022-0616-1527-32/jamiemichelle.freevar.com/Jamie-Michelle-Tropical-Astrology.html , https://archive.is/2oKNF , https://archive.org/download/Tropical-Astrology/Jamie-Michelle-Tropical-Astrology.html .

A lot of research and attention to detail has been put into this. This began mostly as my own notes for myself. I find the intersection between different cultures' ancient beliefs and their connection to the modern science of astronomy to be quite interesting, including how that ancientness has carried forward to the present time. For example, in English the days of the week are named after deities--mostly Norse deities--and those deities in turn were each associated as representing one of the seven classical planets. So each day of the week also has a classical planet associated with it. And this same connection goes back to the ancient Mesopotamian deities, through the Greeks and Romans, and is even found in Hinduism. There's actually a lot of overlap between these cultures, which continues to this day in our modern culture. I provide tables of rows and columns which explicate these connections in a convenient way.

A good deal of historical digging had to be done in order to nail-down some of this information. Presently there's a lot of confusion that exists regarding the referent identity of Sagittarius; and to a somewhat lesser extent, so also with Capricorn, and even some of the other Zodiacal signs. One might think that this historical cultural information would have been better preserved and known by those who make it their interest to write on such topics, but such is not the case. So my choices regarding the aforesaid referent identities haven't been made lightly. As far as what I have come across, this information has never been laid out in such a systematic and well-researched manner. One area where I might expand on this article is to give scholarly citations while explaining how I arrived at some of the possibly more surprising referent identities.

As indicated, I additionally make the connection between astrology and the modern science of astronomy, and even modern medical science. I provide a number of astronomical and mathematical resources for those who might desire to learn about astronomy more.

So if one comes at this information from the cultural perspective, one might be inspired to learn more about its scientific/astronomical aspects. Or if one comes at it from the scientific/astronomical perspective, one might be inspired to learn more about its cultural aspects. There ought to be something here for almost everybody!

[QUOTE=ClaytonB;7115075]Thanks for the reply. I agree with this statement. The rest of your post, however, is not in line with the clear meaning of Scripture or the teachings of the church down through the ages.[/QUOTE]

Actually, it's in complete accordance with Christian theology. To wit:

I have made it as easy as possible for one to obtain veridical understanding into the most crucial fields of sapient knowledge via my own writings. My below articles explain to people (1) theological ethics and soteriology in a comprehensive and logically-coherent manner; (2) how the known laws of physics prove God's existence while demonstrating the exacting and extensive consilience of the New Testament with said physical laws; (3) the nature of God in light of said physical laws; (4) the End Time, the Tribulation, the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, the foundation of Heaven on Earth, and the universal resurrection of the dead in light of said physical laws; and (5) the End Time in light of the history of the globalist oligarchy's self-termed New World Order world government and world religion agenda.

Item No. 1 is important vis-à-vis salvation for those who maintain that they already believe in Jesus Christ's Godhead. Items Nos. 2-5 are important in letting atheists, believers in other religions, and nominal ersatz "Christians" know that God as described by the New Testament does exist and that the New Testament is true. Items Nos. 2-5 are additionally important in giving believers in Christ a much deeper understanding of God and of the End Time, so that they may be strengthened in their faith during the events to come.

My following articles distill all of the most important aspects of veridical human knowledge into a comprehensive, coherent and unified whole: from theology, physics, science, ethics, legal theory, political theory, economics, sociology, evolutionary psychology, epistemology to history.

[QUOTE=ClaytonB;7115231]Perhaps you are using your own private theological vocabulary but the language you are speaking is nowhere present in traditional Christian belief. Specifically, you are using a private vocabulary in which "she" can really mean "he":

All of the language you are using here is used by Jesus in reference to himself, as well as in the rest of the New Testament in reference to him. Jesus is not female, he is not an angel, he is not going to convert our bodies into "superintelligent computronium", and the judging of the nations will not be based on their intellect (intelligence), but on the basis of the purity or impurity of their minds, hearts (Matthew 15:19), words (Matthew 12:37), and deeds (Revelation 2:23). So, unless you are using "angel" to also mean God (confusing at best), female to mean male (again, confusing at best), and "superintelligent computronium" to mean the resurrection body (which may or may not appear any different than the body you currently have), you're not in line with traditional Christian belief. Many more problems like this could be pointed out.[/QUOTE]

The foundation of Heaven on Earth will be performed by technologically-immortal superintelligences: literal Heavenly gods, i.e., divine angels. Jesus Christ Himself spoke of His holy angels gathering the souls and executing judgements: viz., Matthew 13:36-43; cf. Revelation 14:17-19. For a great deal more on this, consult my articles in my previous post above. One which touches on this very matter particularly quickly is my following article:
