I am going to be totally honest i (I'm sure I'm not alone) have never read the most important, controversial and widely published book of all times. Its distributed over 2.5 billion copies and is printed in 2333 dialects, i just wish they would print one in plain English yes, the bible, i have opened it many times to skim or to hope some word, sentence or phrase would reach out of the pages and grab me. but i have to ask, i am a Fairly educated person and no matter what i read i must reread. sometimes to no avail many times. why is it spoken in such pros that only the highest of educated people even know the meaning of the words let alone what is meant. i know the masses have no clue whats being said. what about those people in remotest corners of the world that missionaries tried to bring the word of God to. interpretation has many faces. here is a passage that's interpretation is thought to coincide with the current situation in the middle east, and what the bible says are the signs of a pending judgement day / Armageddon/ end of days," Therefor, son of gob,(that's the spelling in the bible)'thus saysth the Lord God "on that day when my people of Israel dwell safely, will you know it?"Then you will come from your place out of the far north, you and many peoples with you, all of you ridding on horses, a great company and a mighty army."You come up people against my people Israel like a cloud, to cover the land. It will be in the latter days, that i will bring you against my land, so that the nations may know me, when i am hollowed in you, oh Gog, before there eyes. Ezekiel. 38(14 15 16 17 and 18) You shall fall upon the mountain of Israel, you and all troops and the peoples who are with you: i will give you to the birds of pray of every sort and to beasts of the field to be devoured."surely it is coming and it shall be done" says the Lord God. " this is the day of which i have spoken. And the man said to me"son of the man, look with your eyes and hear with your ears, and fix your mind on everything i show you, for you were brought here so that i might show you. Declare to the house of Israel everything you see".
