Racing Toward Armageddon: The Three Great Religions and the Plot to End the World

The publishers' text:

Do you believe in prophecy? The Bible as literal truth? Armageddon? The Rapture? The return of the Da’jaal? Or the creation of a worldwide caliphate as a harbinger of the end of time?

More important, if presented with compelling evidence, would you believe that there are today powerful forces actively conspiring to bring about these cataclysmic events within our lifetime?

In his provocative book Racing Toward Armageddon, Michael Baigent, bestselling author and one of the most controversial religious theorists of our time, turns his keen attention to modern-day Jerusalem and its increasingly important role in global affairs, exploring yet another of his explosive theories: that hard-liners within the three great Abrahamic religions, many of whom hold positions of enormous influence in government, industry, and the military worldwide, are working to hasten our end as prophesied in each of their texts and traditions of faith.

Exposing these forces, the myths upon which many of their beliefs are based, the stealth action they have been taking for decades, and the insidious and potentially devastating effect they are having upon the educational, political, cultural, and spiritual fabric of our society, Baigent poses the pressing question: Can we really afford to remain oblivious much longer?

I accept the idea that many hardcore religious Armageddon 'believers' work within the elite to bring about the end of the world. But these supposedly intelligent religious fanatics have been seriously duped if they think the book of revelation is a book of prophecy regarding Earth's end times.
It may be more complicated than that. This is a bit of a mind-bender, but it might be a circular time-loop situation. Something like this:

1. In the future (or in one possible future), the 'Armageddon war' takes place.

2. This future is perceived by talented psychics throughout the ages, through what we would today called 'remote viewing'. So it becomes written about and extensively mythologized, even though it's not happened yet.

3. Those who consider they're managing the planet and the human race then decide that this is the version of the future they want to steer the human race to, for reasons of their own (because they think they can capitalize on the war's aftermath) -- and also because it may be what they think is the most probable future, and therefore the easiest to 'maintain a course' towards.

4. This explains a great deal -- including the Deep Underground Bases, of course. And the back-up plan (in case it all became uncontrollable, or if the war was TOO devastating) would be to evacuate the planet. See my thread From Bill Ryan -- the Ultimate Hypothesis. (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?46887-From-Bill-Ryan-the-Ultimate-Hypothesis)

5. This is now swinging-out conjecture: but it may be that if these possible futures are also perceivable by ETs (and there's a lot of evidence to support this, as many contactees and abductees, including myself, (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?39611-A-warning-from-benevolent-ETs-about-our-future-over-60-years-ago) have been shown stuff like this) -- then some are actively trying to steer us toward a different timeline, while others are waiting like vultures for us to abandon the Earth so they can move in (or, as some might suggest, move back in).

Hmm, seems like we lost some of this.

Sums up my basic thoughts on this subject.

The idea of sin ,and the idea that there is a need to control evil beings etc seems to allways inflate into some sort of ethnic cleansing, bloody religious crusade, and eventually a final all engulfing battle of some sort.

Human institutions in general seem to either support , or allow this type of progression towards this chasm.
Science is a belief system that has not been allowed to follow it's natural course towards integration of, and understanding of the physical with the spiritual, and the majority of it's fruits seem to be under the control of this march toward this a "final war" on earth.
Education, entertainment, Corporations, survival, the list is long.

I think that the fact that most human activity has been controlled by preisthoods of some sort attest to the idea that we really are primarily of a spiritual nature, but we continue to be dominated primarily by forces that serve to short circuit all efforts at real progress back into short term gain in the physical universe while ignoring all higher levels of existence.

Unless there are benevolent secret societies on the planet that are patiently waiting for us to be ready to start working on our individual progress, while all the while serving others through our actions in the real world, this "fatal" war seems inevitable.

Please don't tell John F. Kennedy I said that, he might get mad at me.

all the work of the last 100 years has been to focus everything on every front down to this event ( armageddon) from many viewpoints , theories, thoughts ... our world leaders , work in secret to benefit from our suffering, these days it's right out in the open ... there is a prophecy put out by Billy Merier that the global cabal turns so deadly against humanity that ET steps in and crushes it, but the down side is WE become under their laws about the way we live as to never allow the mistakes of our past to hapen again ...

Armageddon according to Sir Isaac Newton.

My understanding of the timeline of the appearance of the antichrist, and armageddon is probably rather fuzzy.
The key events I have heard about go something like this.
The whole planet has tropical or desert type weather, there is a one world religion, the antichrist shows up, there is a false peace, then the wars break out again worse than before (ww3 this time) then the messiah shows up and things are put on track for a long time of peace etc.

Is there such a thing as an outline, even comparisons between versions believed by the three major religions?
That might help people talk about this subject more easily.

If my abbreviated outline is close then it seems to be a ways off.

Motives: consider the motives. What is there to gain by killing this world? Nothing. These people are control freaks they are playing Gods they need slaves and followers.

Anything that does not go with the motives should not be entertained.
