Ron Paul is awesome.
Sadly many countries will be involved, especially those holding high amounts of American debt, I suppose there will be degrees of impact, some have prepared for what is coming.

I think you are right.
My Dad told me that when I was a young child.
It's a wonder a great depression and their reset hasn't already occurred.
We certainly need God's grace for such times as these. It reminds me of Joseph's prophetic time of 7 years of plenty to be followed by 7 years of famine.

Agree, it is a wonder, could be the all the pieces are not in place yet or "they" have over estimated their abilities to make it happen.

I think it is impossible to get rid of the concept of terrorism. It has always been around and will probably always be around.

Like someone else said it’s about sowing the seeds of discord in the population and making people doubt, not only the government but also themselves.

Western countries are already submitting to the terrorists terms. Fear has become our fuel. We have to overcome that fear. It’s harsh, but we have to be willing to fight, not trying to playing safe and give them what they want, inch by inch.

We, as a nation, as a part of western civilization, have to realize that there is no such thing as freedom if we allow terrorism to run our lives. Neither should the government institutionalize fear into us.

Terrorism isn’t always about “why” but also about “how”. The point is that if someone is terrorizing you, there’s no reason to be sitting on your hands asking “why”, you need to know “how” to handle it.
You can see heavily the influence of the service and the real world experience that allows in your analysis. My curiosity is I believe I read that you where once upon a time a squid so curious what your rate was?

The terrorism was not born in a vacuum is silly. Reason being is the individuals who oft use it apply it to only the west. Using it to condemn the west and say they are getting what they deserve. Experience shows these are usually also the same people that argue slavery is uniquely the sin of the west and more so the US. Like we invented it. Never mind that Joseph was sold into slavery as evidence how long that wrong has been going on.

Same with terrorism you can open the old testament and see it in operation. One example is Samson taking the foxes tying the torches to their tails then setting them to burn down the fields.

Terrorism is in simple terms unconventional warfare striking at the weakest link to force or pressure or bring about a objective or goal.
Citizens are the weakest link and more so today than in history because today a good portion of citizens have the power of the vote. So the means employed can be as you said and strike at the most vulnerable. Or can even be as @ZNP has given of cell groups attacking infrastructure.

Since you can't beat a nation or force change through conventional means of the military. You use other means to strike fear or terror into the citizens eroding their confidence in their own government to protect them, feed them, and etc. Attaining your goal or objective by the citizenry calling for government to change course.

However, it has been around as long as mankind has sharpened sticks or placed a stone in a sling.
Again, the Amalekites come to mind, and particularly God's instruction to "remember to forget" them.

The "end of the age" occurred in the first century, we are in the age of Grace.
Really sad how this "exceptionalism" endures when Christ Jesus himself eradicated it.

I see. So then, is there any hope of irradicating terrorism other than submitting to their terms. Or is the only solution to fight fire with more fire, the biggest toy wins? What are the options?
Righteousness is the solution. We create terrorists through unrighteous acts. Sin offering, Trespass offering and Peace offering is how you deal with past offences.

I do not have to see it, I can trust the words of Christ Jesus which are quite clear along with a bit of common sense.

Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of the prophecy, and heed the things which are written in it; for the time is near." - Revelation 1:1-3

And there are many more time stamps throughout the NT, in fact I doubt one can really understand the NT since Jesus and the apostles state it over and over again, what was going to happen in their lifetime.

Revelation 1:1-3 was written after all the apostles except for John were already dead.

Can you translate that in practical terms?

Sure, it is simple, it is right there in the book of Revelation.

1. You build a city and all those whose homes were blown up or displaced because of the war can have a very nice apartment for them with adequate size for the size of their family gifted free. The only requirement is that they are reconciled and agree to peace.

The city described in Revelation is extremely modern. One road is only effective if you can order self driving electric vehicles on your phone. I have worked out the design previously, it is an amazing design in Revelation from many different angles. Some people think that a city whose height, width and length is the same is a cube. That is a mistake. It is not a cube, it is a hemisphere. The city sits under a dome which is a brilliant solution to putting cities into arid climates. This design solves the problem of deforestation.

I could spend pages and pages talking about the New Jerusalem. I think I have previously written 100 pages on the design and how it solves so many issues we have in cities.

Ok, I think that catches me up then. Is there no end to this particular age?
Of course there is an end to this age. Daniel said we would know we are at the time of the end because people would be running to and fro through the word of God. Blue Letter Bible was published in 1996. That was a sign that we are at the end of time.

I simply shared where a resurrection was recorded in scripture after the resurrection of Jesus.

A biosphere? But if we've managed to wreck the macrodome, it'd seem that would be the eventual fate of the microsphere. Especially if it only depends on our 'agreement.' Lol, have you not noticed the severe lack of in even in this 'simulated' environment?

But that cannot be the resurrection that HeisHere is referring to based on Revelation 1:1-3. According to Revelation there was an event that was shortly to come in the future, so any events that predated 90 AD could not be what was being referred to. Paul also dealt with this with the Thessalonians who had been told they had missed the rapture and Paul corrected them, the rapture and revelation of the Antichrist comes after the apostasy.
