The Coming Zombie Apocolypse

Post Reply New Topic

Here is an article somewhat humorous about what Christians call the rapture and tribulation. Given that present political climate gives every appearance of the end of our freedoms, it might be of interest to consider what has been predicted about "end times".

"and the polar ice caps shall melt, so that the sea riseth and devoureth the great city of miami. The sun shall scorch the crops and the famine shall lead to discord among the human, civil war and refugee crisis. The peoples of the north shall turn their backs to the deaperate peoples from the south, they shall build walls crowned with barbed wire, but the walls can't stop the hurricanes, the droughts and the monsoons. Everything shall contain microplastics and the sea itself shall turn acidic and corrode everything that liveth in it. And that's before the other six angels even started playing their trumpets" - John, 29:17


Just kidding. The polar ice caps, miamil, the whole American continent didn't exist when the scripture was written.

WTF are you talking about?

The city of Miami did not exist in Biblical times. That much is true.

But the American continents certainly existed in Biblical times. The authors of the Bible didnt even know about China, much less about the Americas. But that doesnt mean that the American continents didnt exist.

Same with the Polar Ice Caps. They existed, but the ancient Hebrews didnt know that they existed. The Greeks were more accomplished seafarers than were the Hebrews, but even the Greeks were only dimly aware of even Europe beyond the Mediterranean. But that doesnt mean that the world beyond the Med didnt exist.

The world is going to end. We just don't know how it's going to happen. These are the end times.

Agreed. Also, some scholars believe that John was shown scenes of modern warfare. He would not have had the capacity to understand the weapons, vehicles and other tools of war that we have now.

Of course, it's equally possible that the actual end times are as far away from us as our time is from biblical times, and that we don't have the capacity to understand what the real rapture will look like. It's not as if we were given an actual timeline.

"These Are The End Times" is not even a Christian idea.  The earliest prediction of the end of the world came from the Assyrians, a powerful Mesopotamian culture that lasted for roughly two thousand years.  A tablet was found dating back to sometime between 2800 and 2500 BC that bears the first known prophecy of the "End of Days".  According to the translation, it claims that Earth was in its final days in those years, and that the world was deteriorating into a corrupt society that would only end with its destruction.  Though it is not known who wrote this inscription, it is a fervent example of how far back in human history apocalyptic prophecies world began.  Hence, the "End Times" have been going on for at least 4800 years, with no actual "end" in sight.

"Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the least, for it is the number of a man-child. That number is 45."

Lucifer 6:66

I think a zombie apocalypse could happen, in all seriousness. I just don’t think it would be anywhere close to what you see in the movies. I don’t know if it would be a virus or a mutation, but mindless undead or reanimated former humans? I think it would start as one or two isolated incidents, some newly discovered disease that, for one reason or another, becomes treatable or manageable and somehow becomes accepted. There would gradually, over a very long period of time, be an increase in cases with no sense of urgency to deal with it. And then after a hundred years or so you have these weird, sub-humans or post-humans aimlessly wandering the landscape. A few might happen to turn violent, but it wouldn’t be the norm for a long time. By the time it DID happen you might find human beings dealing with the consequences of there being so many and no resources to deal with them, or human beings might actually be endangered. If that apocalypse started today, probably nobody would even notice.

As much as COVID-19 has affected people who test NEGATIVE, I wouldn’t be surprised at all if the zombie apocalypse had already started. For the time being, however, I’m counting myself MARKED SAFE.

Sorry, I should have known that irony doesn't work on the internet, where actual flat earthers are saying actual flat earth things.
I was trying to underline the point that ancient texts are limited to the scope of the people of the time and place at which they were written, and therefore, engaging with eschatology is a scholastic endeavour.

While I do disagree regarding Trump, I will say without even a hint of irony this is quite possibly the best thing you’ve ever written.

I think the only undead involved in the Christian apocalypse is the J-Man himself.
The idea of a zombie apocalypse has become so popular, if you ask me, because of a sort of collective desire to see the slate wiped clean. It's similar to the end of the century/fin de siecle sentiments from the late 19th century. People see the chaos and injustice in the world and worry--or hope--that something has to give. Zombies are a popular vehicle for the end of society because it gives the survivors a concrete threat that can be combatted with violence. It provides a simple threat with a single solution that is comforting to people living in a world full of complex threats with complex or non-existent solutions. The militia movements love the idea of an apocalypse you can shoot your way out of. Why do you think the real threat of a climate apocalypse isn't as 'popular'? You can't shoot climate change--you just have to do boring, somehow anti-American stuff like regulating business and changing consumer habits. That's not the juicy stuff that gets people pumped up to go to the box office and buy guns.

Some Christians seem intent on being the Boy who cried Armageddon!

Indeed.

The Christian view for a lot of us is that the end times began at Pentecost. How you interpret "end times" is going to depend on where you stand on dispensationalism, which, personally, I think is well-supported. Gauging Biblical history, you can defo tell beginnings and endings of various eras that show a change in how God relates to humanity. While Jesus is vital to salvation, with regard to this Jesus' earthly ministry really only represents a transition between the second temple age/Roman occupation to spreading the gospel throughout the world, i.e. not strictly reserved for the Jews as the "chosen" people. The "end of the age" is Jesus' return.

Aaaaand...the idea of zombies walking the earth in the meantime isn't all that foreign. The dead walked the earth about the time of Jesus' crucifixion. The dead will rise when Jesus returns. I guess on the last day, we're ALL going to be zombies...excuse me, what should the politically correct term be for this? "Reanimated humans." How about that? I like the way that sound!
