Agatha Christie had a novel entitled "Why didn't they ask Evans?" .... if WW-III breaks out, I offer in advance the wry joke "why did they ask Evans?"

I hope that we have the presence of mind to remember the joke should that day come.

@shamelesspopery we could be nuked first of course

4:22 This is probably one poisonous fruit of belief that Satan remains the prince of this world, even after crucifixion.

Jesus cast him out. In St. Paul we see someone, either God or Satan, referred to as "god of this world" / "God of this world" ... who blinds those that are lost. But we do not see that Satan holds power over the kingdoms, as he did back in Matthew 4 / Luke 4.

More than one Catholic reading actually refers that text to God: He choses to blind those who have basically already refused to see, he provides the shutters people are asking for.

On the other hand, if you believe as those guys do, Satan is still not cast out, no state or place of land can be in a good shape until Jesus returns.

8:20 One thing he gets wrong in Late Great Planet Earth, not that I have read it, but the detail ha been highlighted, is the character of the Antichrist.

Nicolae Jetty isn't very convincing. Hal Lindsey ... the late great writer Hal Lindsey ... believed too much in the Antichrist seducing in the way someone charms by being a genius and providing solutions.

He basically just cast Mozart and Otto von Bismarck into the role ... now, both actually do have Antichrist vibes, for very different reasons, Mozart was a Freemason and liked to use the two scales with three flats, and basically wrote them out so they looked like 6-es. Otto was into oppressing Catholics, whether by excluding Austria and including Bavaria, or by attacking Napoleon III. Or by promoting (if not inventing), though underhandedly, the Marcan priority plus liberal theology in order to pretend Papal claims were "later accretions" ....

10:53 Catholics who have taken it about end times have noted that "this generation" = the generation of the faithful.

As or insofar as the Catholic Church still stands, this is so far verified.

16:12 I have not taken to reading Magog allegorically.

I think Magog is an actual ethnicity and it's currently or will shortly be present at all the four corners of the mainland (taking the Atlantic as kind of an inland sea).

Those four corners are Alaska and Cape Horn in the West, NE Russia as the NE corner and Sydney, Hobart, possibly even "Wellington" in the role of the SE corner.

Those four corners would also seem to include actual Israelites converting to Christianity.

One reading is, an Ashkenaz by matrilinear descent, which counts in Judaism, is (or many of them are) Magog. By patrilinear descent, which counts in Christianity, he descends from Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and so he can represent the twelve tribes as soon as he becomes a Christian.

Another one would be Magog are Indo-Europeans.

A third would be, Magog actually still mainly means the geographical area North of the Iranians, which today would be for instance Russia. There are exile Russians on the four corners since the Russian Revolution.

* As he is a lawyer, he very wisely avoided to say "Evangelicals" as if it typically applied to all or most.
