I really have no idea. I'm not up on all the interpretations of Revelations. Sounds pretty far out though. Especially as Germany doesn't have the means to invade Israel.
Hmm, me either. All I recall is basically when they try to rebuild the temple (so Jews got to be there for that, I'd figure) and Gods armies (I'm guessing that would include his choosen people) mass at Medgetto (think I spelled that right) for the final battle.

So Jews in Isreal cover that, vaguely. I can't see Muslims rebuilding the jewish temple nor gods army without his best troops :roll: .

:P
They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong

But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red

IIRC, the text simply says something about the invaders being from the "north".

Isn't Russia and the "Islamofascists" (what a natural alliance!) attacking Israel and getting smited (smote? smitten?) by the Almighty hand of GOD a plot point in those moronic Left Behind books?

Penguins from the north? Polar bears aren't good enough now?

It's smitten.

Penguins primarily exist in the Southern Hemisphere.[/nitpicks]

But seriously, why go to Rapture Ready? Not only is it full of morons, it's full of morons with a nanny-mod supporting them. At least Protest Warrior has virtually zero moderation, so you can actually insult people when the debates become monotonous.

I'm about ready to throw in the towel on the current debate. I've got things to do, and they're not getting done.

It's the UN (whose military is mostly Russian and American I'd assume) who attacks the Jewstar while its shields are still up. The UN Secretary General (the Antichrist) is some kind of Russian or Eastern European dude, though.

That interpretation was pretty popular when Russia and Germany were Commies. Now that they aren't, it has become a bit less popular.
