FYI...

There has been a lot of speculation that one can read the book of Revelation and determine that the current events in the Middle East are signs of Armageddon.

As a life-long Catholic, I can tell you this:

Looking to the Bible as a source of "things to come" is the equivalent of reading the Farmer's Almanac for the next year's weather report...with the exception that the Farmer's Almanac may be a little more accurate.

I don't know how many times I can say this...the Bible is not meant to be taken literally.

That is all.
