If youre trying to suggest Ive pinched themes or read some somewhere, and taken them as my own, whether I realised it or not, Fractelle... you will find I havent.
All of the revelations are genuine given by The Lord to born again christians over many years.
The theme of Australia being invaded in novels isnt original by- the- way.
It, I believe, goes back a few years probably to the 60's.
I know my material and none of it is made up. I gathered it in from other born againers who had received the prophecies or the visions and recorded it.
None of the material is mine.
Ive never had a vision or a "Word from God" on an invader.
I read sometimes.
I dont read Australian stuff, none of it, and I dont watch OZ movies, so Ive picked up nothing in that area

While I did not ask of you read Australian books or watched Australian films, I am amazed to find that you don't.

My original question was whether you read any non-religious books.

Of course the theme of invasion of Australia is hardly original, although the John Marsden books are excellent young adult books.

You talk a lot about defending Australia, yet don't appear interested in its culture. Which makes me wonder how much you understand about the world in which we live.

I like a John Grisham etc Fractelle. But dont read at length.
No, I dont read much on Australia.
I know her history and I see the current news.
What else is there in secular stuff?
Much of the people in the media, and in history, are or have been, scrambling for power and to have their names uplifted.
Its the same here now as in the USA and old England.
The Queen and the Royal family are always a highlight though.
You need to understand, when you become a born again christian you changed camps.
You come out of the world and that old dragon and into Jesus... and the Holy Bible. Suddenly you know the Holy Bible is the truth.
The Holy Spirit Convicts you.
After the wonderful born again experience, when you turn your life over to Christ in prayer, your focus is on Him.
HE's alive!
Its the way it is for christians.
All of the media stuff becomes just that...stuff.
You pick up the Holy Bible and all of the other works throughout the centuries fade away.
The ponderings of men, the theories of men, the novels of men and women, the talk of men and women...oh! they are so not there anymore:)
That, Fractelle, is the huge Glorious power of Gods Word.

Gibo, have you set a rough use-by date on these prophecies?

So when the time comes, and passes, and the yellow peril you speak of hasn't invaded, is there a date where you'll accept that this prophetic nonsense is claptrap?

Or, is it a prophecy that you can just keep recycling as each day passes?

How long, Gibo?

*waves at Ludwig* :)

mate.. you go at it.. criticize and mock if you like.. I for one welcome it. Of course for the likes of Gibo and Runner, KatieO and myself and others of an evangelical persuasion, there is an element of sadness that you mob don't 'get' it yet, but we pray on :)

By all means have fun at our expense.. Loopy..loony.. bozo.. etc.. it's all good.

If you asked each of us named above, I'm sure you would get some different answers on the issue of prophecies and the stuff Gibo is speaking of, but clearly to me at least his heart is in the right place and I love him in the Lord.

Fractelle..I'll give that Marsden thing a go..
done..checked out his writing style.. from the reviews.. looks pretty good. Time time time :)...

Aime.. I'm right on the EDGE of surburbia.
BELLY..thanx cobber.. would love to partake of your abudnance some time.
My oranges are splitting at the moment.. moan...

cheers all

‘Due to the zeal of the new Islamic state order over Indonesia, and because of the great outcry from Australia over human rights, the Indonesian Military will invade Australia, firstly at Darwin, then Perth and later the Eastern states. This attack will be in utter secrecy. They will attack with great force and overwhelm the western culture. They will burn much of the infrastructure to the ground.’ (David Kriss http://www.telusplanet.net/public/tsgibson/various.pdf)

Very interesting Gibo. I share your concerns about our national defence and security. And I find it difficult to reconcile with my very strong belief that we need to remain as a small population and live well within the capacity of this harsh continent to support us.

“I know the invasion is a Judgment on the nation for its sin if the people fail to repent of that sin…”

I can’t agree with this statement though. Invasion of Aboriginal Australia did not imply that the Aborigines were sinful and deserved it, did it? Invasion of European/multicultural Australia would not indicate that we were sinful, or more sinful than the invaders, would it?
