How do you view abrahamic stories of creation and destruction ?

[Guest]

As per bible, torah and quran, 

god created mankind from adam and eve, and the snake satan tempted eve to eat fruit , etc etc.

and how god will in the end destroy the world 

Bible has a full book in it that deals with prophecies. 

do you think any of that scripture has anything to do with whats to unfold ?

Maybe, but what does it matter? 

We're told to do bhagti, God will take care of the rest.

Lol, God created mankind.

Now mankind has to take care of itself. XD. God will not intervene. XD

A lot of it is heavy on the metaphor. The imagery and the symbolism of such accounts usually implies some universal truth or meaning. Of course, some take it as literal truth dependent on how strongly they believe.

I use to think such scriptures and legends held sway over mankind's ultimate fate, but I'm beginning to suspect Man tailors his own destiny to fulfil the conditions of those so-called prophecies; to lend legitimacy to his beliefs and convince others of the truth behind them for various self interests beyond the just and good concepts of religion and belief.

It is all built upon Babylonian and Sumerian texts.

Iv read part of the revelations and remember it said on the day of judgment? God will be sitting on his throne with a double edged sword, which is basically a khanda.

Some people say the wh0re of Babylon or the beast are the Catholic church and the pope lol! 

But yeah I think they say on the last day some angels are gnna blow through a horn which the whole world will hear and that will be the day of judgement

It's interesting how in their religions angels are given a lot of importance while in our faith apart from a few mentions in our granths, like chitra and gupt etc   they are not given any importance.

I guess that's because angels play a important part in the biblical narrative. A lot of the revelations from God were revealed to the prophets through angels and not directly from God. The only prophets that God directly spoke to were Jesus and Moses I think.   While in our religion waheguru directly spoke to the gurus.

I can't remember the specifics any more, but I recall a Christian prophecy stating the anti-Christ will be a blue-turbanned figure leading his armies across the world. Sounds familiar, lol. I wonder if we're on the wrong side...

Plus, I find it amusing how much of the end-times technological imagery is firmly rooted in the period in which these accounts were written and conceived. There's no mention of fighter jets, bombs, etc., but the leaders of these nations who will participate in these battles are still physically leading their men on horseback on the battlefield. It's these kind of discrepancies with reality that undermine these beliefs.
