Now HERE is something interesting about the New Testament!!

Look at this verse:

Matthew 24:37 New International Version (NIV)

As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.

It just dawned on me what Son of Man means in this context. It is a reference to modern technology. It is a reference to mankind realizing itself and when mankind does this, it will be much like it was during the days of Noah, kinda like it is now. You could say technological advances of the past 100 years are the coming of the Son of Man and there's all kinds of societal breakdown and chaos. People are pretty much thought of as lacking traditional morals and ethics, much like the days of Noah with all that corruption of the flesh talk. All this is just a prophecy of the future, like with Nostradamus.

So all this verse is is a prophecy of what it will be like when mankind discovers its true potential.

And what about scientists and gene splicing, creating chimeras? There is reference to chimeras in the age of Noah and scientists are creating them now.

Hmmm to me it sounds like when man finally creates A.I capable of taking over the world. Or when man evolves into something else, though that wouldn't be a distinct moment in time, which would make it's prophetic value useless. Each person interprets it as they wish I suppose.

One thing that always confused me about the Bible is all the odd terminology. To me it seems wide open to interpretation. Christians think coming of the Son of Man is Jesus but is that really what it means? Maybe it is something else...like a technology or some kind of radical philosophy.

Wouldn't Jesus be the son of god in their religion? How is he also the son of man?

Like I always say: the "Mark of the Beast" will be a tiny UPC bar code tattooed on your forehead that they can scan with a laser that we will all be required to have.Everyone on the planet. For "national security" reasons of course! To stop terrorism, and identity theft, and such. But it will really be so that the Antichrist (some future smooth talking political messiah) can control us!

How many times has this antichrist popped up in 2000 years?

Ana: As for prophecies, ambiguous language can be a dangerous thing. I would be very careful about reading too much into bible passages. If it were any other book people would call you crazy.

Within Christian contexts, I've frequently heard Jesus referred to as the Son of Man.

I'm not a Christian, by the way.

And I don't believe in Nostradamus, or in prophecies in general.

Ok, thanks for clarifying, I wasn't too sure about that one.

Exactly. Jesus is the Son of God. And the Son of Man presumably would be the Antichrist. The guy who is gonna persuade us to get bar codes tattooed on us. The two will fight the big final showdown at Armageddon.

I was being totally tongue-in-cheek.

But if I got on the radio as a preacher I could probably get folks to believe my bar code story and convince millions that the end was niegh!

I know, so was I. People have been claiming that so and so was/is the antichrist for many years now, just poking a little fun at prior prophecies.



That would be too easy.

It's why I never got into certain parts of the Bible.

Re: fully god and fully man.
Re: the son of man in the book of Daniel.

Now, this doesn't necessarily imply a human father. And "son of god" doesn't necessarily imply god as a human father like we might think of one. The phrase used in the Hebrew is mis-o-pan or "from the seed of", which is used in different instances in the OT to mean "generated from", "a descendant of", "the son/daughter of", or "proceeding from".

I think its like you said Ana the corrupt stuff.

About the antichrist ...the ideia of one person being the anticristh is wrong Paul (the apostle) said that it was already there so i think its a force like a country our other thing like that.

Yup it makes sense it would be mankind who become more technologically advanced with nuclear weapons and whatnot.

"Fully god and fully man" makes no sense to me whatsoever but it's interesting nonetheless. I really should read the whole bible one of these days...
