At this point we are gonna graduate out of college before it flies. (Thats around 2012 for me....the year the apocolypse is supposed to hit for those of you who care...)
Four things:
1. It is already flying, albeit not in commercial use, but SQ will take delievry by the end of the year.
2. Sorry to those of you who don't care about things Christian or "end-time", you may want to stop reading this post now. I just can't help responding to WOTW on this issue. Moderators may want to take this conversation out from this thread and either move it to a new one or delete it completely (if this forum is supposed to be free of religious "propaganda").
3. I don't care! What an utterly complete nonsense. I happen to be in the process of writing a PhD on "The Apocalypse" or the Book of Revelation and, quite frankly, the one thing that is quite clear there is that "the end" could well be a lot before 2012 or a lot after 2012. Ultimately Revelation does not try to give us an end-time-timetable, but is concerned about urging Christians to remain faithful to their Lord, no matter the circumstances, because in the end (whenever it may be), he will come.
4. "apocalypse" means "revelation", not more, not less. The revelation has already "hit", it has been revealed to John and through him to the rest of us (who care about it). Oh yes, Christ, too, will be "revealed", but that's not what the term "apocalypse" is used for. So no, the apocalypse won't hit, although the coming of Christ that is promised in it, will happen.
