The War in Israel may be at it's end.
LDSGator replied to Emmanuel Goldstein's topic in Current Events
Until the apostles say “Hey guys, it’s just about over. Start doing this…” I’ll be skeptical. -

First off, I apologize for not being clear with my original comment. On me 100% Could it be prophecy? Sure. But, Christians (and I’m one of them) need to be extremely careful to label things as “prophetic”. Our credibility is at stake here. -

Modern evangelicals seem to think this uh….”tension” in the middle east is a newish thing and a sign of end times. One problem. The Battle of Khaybar was between Muslims and Jews. It took place in 628. If conflict in that area is a sign of “end times” than we’ve been in “end times” since even before then. -

Sure. Whenever something bad happens in the middle east, people jump to “End times! Prophecy! Armageddon!” And sure, it might be end times. OR….. Muslims and Jews have hated each other for 1000 years-even before Islam existed. It’s a devastating fact and it breaks my heart. But, if that’s your sole indicator that it’s almost over, you are either 1000+ years late to the party or you don’t grasp history. -

I’m not saying you are wrong but every time anything happens in the middle east-a highly unstable area-people always go there. -

Exactly. -
Yup. I agree. Always thought the same thing.
-
One thing I really don’t understand about the rioters is their lack of self awareness. They are the type that want to beat you up when you imply that they aren’t peaceful.
-
I totally agree with you. I know several members who simply refuse to read the essays-even though the church itself wrote them!-and I’m baffled by that.
-
The left hasn’t learned that lesson since 1968 when Nixon rode the law and order train to victory.
-
That’s actually a good question!

My high school had a full appearance code too. I thought then, and still do today, that it was silliness. But, as a minor I didn’t have a say in the matter. The moment I left home at 18 I grew a mustache, beard and long hair. Never looked back. I look like I’m 17 clean shaven. I hate it.
-
If you open the door to Marines being deployed to address these issues, you better be ready to keep your mouth shut when a democrat does it. This is a slippery slope.
-
That, but I think I was absolutely right when I said it’s more personality than politics. There are immature brats on every side of the political spectrum who can’t handle dissent, can’t have friends who disagree with them, make personal attacks, etc.
-
He does. He was a guest judge on a talent show down here for years.
-
I have over 25 tattoos and I actually agree with you. I judge people with and without tattoos. I also have long hair, a beard, and curse all the time. I have a feeling you and I would make a great comedy team if we were ever assigned to do home teaching together!!!!!

I think we just know a different type of leftist. No, that doesn’t mean yours or my friends are “better”, just different. One of my best friends is as far to the left as you are to the right (not an insult, genuine description). I’m assuring you that he can laugh at his views, take jokes, and look inward better than 90% of conservatives that I know. I think it has to do more with personality than politics.
-
If this is true, it’s another reason why I hate the rioters. What in the world is your issue with a mural showing Kobe Bryant and his daughter? Is the world a better place now that you destroyed this sweet little mural?!
-
I completely agree that the left mostly lacks the ability to engage in self critique, but, the two leftists I know well both do. Conservatives pre Trump were far far better at tolerating dissenters than they are now.
-
But having said all that, deploying the military and giving them orders to act like the LAPD is a bridge too far.
-
I call it several things. Which if I said here you’d break out the banhammer in three seconds, and with good cause.
-
I find rioting and destroying property appalling. First off, you have no right to damage things that are not yours, unless you are given permission to do so. Second, these businesses and homes are in your own hometown! Do you not realize that they won’t rebuild there and you’ve just damaged your own property value?!? These are your neighbors as well. It’s repulsive.

Amen. My favorite think tank.
