Kritters,
Your article is very interesting. Here is why I say that:
First: I am a Christian and the following are my beliefs. I am in no way trying to aggravate anyone and their beliefs or non-belief.
I've mentioned in other posts about a Bible Study via DVD by a Theologian who attended Moody Bible Institute. I began it in the Spring of 2008. I've been through it but still go over it almost every day. The theologian is Dr. David L. Constable.
I bought the DVD first for the OT and then for the NT. The DVDs don't have every Book of the OT and NT but quite a few. Of the Books of the OT and NT that are on them, he explains every verse of every chapter of each Book. THis was something I really wanted because I have always had trouble with comprehension; having to read things over and over. I'd forget what I just read!!, be it newspaper, short story test in school, etc. Plus, as most know, the Bible can be difficult to understand. However, after listening to the studies which begin with Genisis, it has made a tremendous difference in understanding the Books in the Bible I have to read on my own due to not being on DVDs.
Anyway, one of the things I have learned as a Christian is that the stage is being set for what is to take place in the future. I have learned so much about past history of the world, both Political and Faith from the OT and NT, but the Book of Revelations, which Dr. Constable explains verse by verse, is a clear picture of why, what, and the future, ever since day 1 in Genesis.
For anyone who may think that "M" is a plague from God, it is not. The final Judgements and the 7 year Tribulation will not take place until after the Rapture. That is a comforting thought. "M" and others are more likely man-made plaques from Narcicistic people who want Power, Money, Notariety (sp), you know what I mean:
a
"BIG BIG" name
narcissism (när´ssizm),
n. a personality disorder in which a person is so self-absorbed that the needs and feelings of others do not matter.
