-Removed-It's not a cop-out. It's merely too deep for someone such as you that doesn't read the Bible or understand what it says.
You quote a partial verse and disregard the rest of the chapter. You really don't have a clue about what you're saying. You have a text, but no context.
And I seriously doubt you have the intellectual capacity to comprehend the flow of the biblical narrative relative to its prophetic teachings with regards to history.
You're like the guy standing with his nose against the canvas of a painting that can't see the big picture. So you're left cherry picking verses and arguing about things you know nothing about in an effort to look like something you're not animated by bias, prejudice and a mean spirit.
@secondson saidThe wars and everything with it were the beginning of the pangs of distress as you have rightly said.
Read the whole chapter from which you misquoted.
Then read the prophets. Start learning something before you shoot off at the mouth.
In my opinion that probably started at the turn of the last century but in the last 20 years has suddenly gone onto steroids.

There's a whole lot of scripture to sift through with regards to the "last days". I'm still sifting, and learning, but I think I have a handle on the big picture as it were.
