___________________________________________________________________________ > From: damon@nisysg.DEC > > Telatransportation Acts 8:39-40, John 6:21 "And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing. But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea." [Acts 8:39-40] "Then they willingly received him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land whither they went." [John 6:21] Where in the world is teletransportation mentioned? Certainly not quite the technological type. (a la Star Trek, for example) Magic is simply of the wall. > LASER beams in orbit (Star War Sys) Rev 13:13 "And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men." [Rev 13:13] Fire is not exactly laser beams. (Star Wars Sys. is taking it way too far.) Even if this could some how be valid, you are then saying that Ronald Reagan is the antichrist. Come to think of it ... > Nuclear Wars Rev 6:12-14 "And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood. And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places." [Rev. 6:12-14] Sounds like severe meteor shower to me. What does any of this have to do with nuclear war? > Androids (robots or human statues) Rev 13:14-15 "And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed." [Rev 13:14-15] Androids? Robots? Human statues? Say what? > ed I don't know where you dig up these crazy ideas. You have yet to answer my questions about where in the Bible to locate things like computers/IC's/semi- conductors/quarks/Usenet ... Of course, "go ye unto the four corners of the earth" is only figurative, right?
