Armageddon August 22, 2006?

All over the news today. Are the nukes about to flash? Or is it just posturing?

Mr Ahmadinejad [the Iranian president] and his followers clearly believe that this time is now, and that the terminal struggle has already begun and is indeed well advanced. It may even have a date, indicated by several references by the Iranian president to giving his final answer to the US about nuclear development by August 22. This was at first reported as 'by the end of August', but Mr Ahmadinejad's statement was more precise."
Lewis continues: "What is the significance of August 22? This year, August 22 corresponds, in the Islamic calendar, to the 27th day of the month of Rajab of the year 1427. This, by tradition, is the night when many Muslims commemorate the night flight of the prophet Muhammad on the winged horse Buraq, first to 'the farthest mosque', usually identified with Jerusalem, and then to heaven and back (cf, Koran XVII.1). This might well be deemed an appropriate date for the apocalyptic ending of Israel and, if necessary, of the world."

The problem is that the computers we feared on that date were more intelegent than the muslims we're talking about on 8/22.......I'm not going to loose any sleep over that date coming, but I wouldnt rule anything out....

Wait a minute though... I don't have this clear in my head yet. Is the world going to end right at the beginning of 8/22/06 Iranian time, or just sometime during that day Iranian time? I need to know because I have a few things I need to do before the world ends.

It's just Armageddon in the middleast. Probably won't affect Indiana, but Israel is at a pucker factor of 10 probably.

I would have to believe that the Israelis have the weapons loaded, the jets readied, and are at a full standby of readiness in the event that a missile is sent toward them. I don't know if they have any US missile defense systems in place, but there is a strong possibility that we have some war ships in the area that have advanced tracking detection to assist them. The one thing about the present administration, is that they don't want to get caught sleeping at the switch again, so it is a relatively safe guess that precautions have been taken for most any event. Personally, I don't believe that the Iranians will be so foolish as to try to bomb Israel given the fact that they know our capabilities to aid in there defense. If the Iranians were to try a nuclear weapon on Israel, I believe that the response will be quick and severe.

I totally agree... It would be a much better idea on their part to wait until next year after we have a changing of the guard... I just hope it isnt Hillary...:pat:

Are you refering to the POTUS? That election isn't until 2008 (effective Jan 2009).
