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 ?

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

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.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
