Are we in trouble?

The news is the huge snowfall in the Middle East (Jerusalem covered with 3 feet). Wasn't that one of the signs?

Well, I kind of agree with what one of the characters said in the film that things may occur, yes, but it could be a coincidence or something not to be taking to literally. Natural disasters have always occurred. The moon has also been red several times in my life.

I'd say we are all pretty much doomed. Even if we are not in the midst of a biblical type of an ending to the world, we are still in the throws of something extremely bad. It is fairly evident (to anyone with half a clue) that the entire world is run by corrupt evil people. So, yeah you should be worried...

jerusalem is not in the desert, the movie talked about a village in nagab desert south, actually the jews just kicked the Bedouins from there homes there.

No, we are not in trouble and never will be, in the biblical-apocalyptic sense.
If we go extinct it will be for natural or man-made reasons only.
The NT's book of Revelation is a condensation of a much vaster type of literature called "apocalyptic literature", which describes among other things the conflict between the "haves" and the "have-nots". A form of religious revenge literature, written in metaphoric, fantastic and poetic style.

The book of Revelation was not written for us, it was solely written by and for people of its time of "publication". Its "prophecies" were "fulfilled" at the time of writing, and those that were not, will not be - because they are mythical from the word Go.

These punks only believe what the current libtarts tell them too, sad they refuse to see the truth.

I know a hell of a lot more than anyone who takes the book of Revelation literally and uses it as some kind of "End Times" schedule.

It's not only mythical, it's just plain wrong, because it states multiple times that Jesus is coming "soon", and of course he never came at all. It was only written for its ancient audience, not for any subsequent generations.
