Jehana wrote,*p*: Re book of Revelation -- I distinctly recall, although I *br*: can't remember the reference, that the Book of Revelation *br*: says something about the fact that the hour of the second *br*: coming (whatever that is) is something that cannot be *br*: known... Therefore, the millenium marker coming up cannot be *br*: also the marker for the second coming by their lights -- *br*: since that's when a plentitude of certain flake *br*: denominations are predicting it...*p*Change "denominations" to "cults" and you'd be entirely accurate. I am not aware of any major church that teaches an identity between the millennium and the events of Revelation.   *p*:*br*: Revelations does read like a drug trip, I'm sorry to say.  *br*: An especially nasty one.*br*:*p*That depends on whether or not you read it to the end...after all, Hansel and Gretel is pretty nasty until the end, too...but "they lived happily ever after," which is also, to risk trivializing the sense of it, what the end of the Book of Revelation promises.*p*: Re Malcolm X -- yes, he did seem to speak in ways I don't *br*: personally believe.  But I suspect that some of what he said *br*: has been taken out of context -- perhaps some of his angrier *br*: moments.  I frankly don't know enough to decide at this *br*: point.  I want to know more about the man and his stands *br*: over time to decide.  I have heard that he was *br*: well-educated, which makes me curious as to how much of his *br*: reputation has been hype?*p*Be careful about the "well-educated" label. It can be used for many of this centuries more horrible criminals. That is not to say that Malcolm X was one of them, he wasn't, and there was an admirable courage in the man. However, the fact of a person's education is sometimes used to justify strange ideas.*p*--Beirdd
