Gibo, not every prophecy of doom in the past has come from someone trying to sell something. Actually the scary thing is that I dare say that most doomsdayers (both past and present) fully believe their own message. Gibo, I'll try saying it slowly for you - just because YOU believe it doesnt make it true.

Now for the fun.... if you want to linking an invasion to revelations, you would do well to start with the fact that the book starts with a child being taken by a red dragon. Red and Dragon are both things that are very easily linked to China. Thought you'd have trotted those examples out quick smart! However, its also supposed to be 7 headed, and I cant find a link between 7 specifically and China.

BUT, your prophecy whether it be real or imagined, ignores the fact that Christianity is strong in China, and growing stronger constantly. I would assume that a christian nation (even if not officially so) wouldnt be your "pagan invaders" (although try saying that to the Iraqi's). Actually, pagan refers to someone that is not one of the three major religions, so neither China (growing Christian faith) or Indonesia (largely muslim) would fit the bill. Maybe you should be looking at hindu (and therefore pagan) India - they've got the Bomb too remember, so its not as easy to pull them up simply with threats, as they can make good on their own.

All digs aside though, I do agree that our defence is a bit of a joke. But dont forget that because it is difficult to defend due to its size and features, this also makes it much more difficult to invade - yes you can find some deserted shoreline, but there'll be plenty of overland marching with precious little infrastructure to assist, so large centres will have PLENTY of warning to evacuate or defend if an invasion from the north ever happened.

do calm down, children. indonesia is no threat at all. the jakarta government can't even keep it's provinces in line, much less threaten anyone else. no one else has any reason to invade, they can buy what they want more cheaply. do you imagine that china would let their mine be owned by jakarta?

invasions are seldom easy if the invaded people resist. look at what 5000 iraqi's are doing to the usa. it is true that oz would be a pushover if they didn't have the best moat in the world, but they do.

the only real chance of invasion is surreptitious, and that is happening now. our masters are locking us into dependency on the usa, and the result will ultimately be that we join puerto rico as quasi-americans. you may think this is a good thing, if you don't care about public health, public education, or ever being at peace.

Fester said:

"So then Gibo, what do you suggest before Jesus comes?"

Fester..if I may.. why not consult the good book on that one ? :)

JOHN THE BAPTIST said "repent, one is coming after me, the thong of who's sandle I am unworthy to untie"

Then... that 'one'...came.

JESUS.

His beginning message "Repent...for the kingdom of God is at hand"

His ending message "This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, 47and repentance and forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. (Luke 24:44-49)

PETER's message to the Jews who gathered at Pentecost:

37When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, "Brothers, what shall we do?"

Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." (Acts 2:38)

When Peter spoke to Cornelious the Centurion he said:

43All the prophets testify about him that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name."

PAUL at a synagogue, when asked if he had a message said:

38"Therefore, my brothers, I want you to know that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you. 39Through him everyone who believes is justified from everything you could not be justified from by the law of Moses. (Acts 13)

CONCLUSON.
So, my hope is you can work out what to 'do' on the basis of the above.
blessings.

I don't know what's scarier. 200 million chinese soldiers marching and swimming all the way across Sth East Asia to do nasty unspeakable things, or people like Gibo gettting their hands on semi-auto weaponry and explosives?

Who, realistically, could invade Australia at this point in time?. The Chinese would need to secure resources to move anything remotely looking like an army. We would see 'em coming a LONG WAY OFF, and hopefully someone would have the foresight to do something about it.

Fundi Islamic 'Terrorists' organizing an invasion?. lol. nope.

Indonesia?. How?

Gibo. Look at moi...look at moi. One word, WACO.

Being a sporting shooter, I am the last to support gun control and confiscation, but I'd make an exception in your case. You are dangerous.

Anyway, if we're invaded the Yanks will come and save their allies. Won't they? Yeah right! Ha Ha.
