Just one correction, Mike. I live in a large city (~110,000) and Stormy lives in a small town. Although, I grew up in a town of 1400. But, yes, it's the same in my hometown as it is here. But there are those in both places who are watching and awake also. Oops, misread that. I agree there are the few I am aware of watching, very few comparatively speaking.

But I live closer to another town that most everyone knows where a certain Clarke Griswold and family visited his wife's cousin Eddy and picked up Aunt Edna. Holiday Rooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaad.......

Now i'm watching this Paul Watchman Dawson video and it's giving me the willies. Does anyone know how he arrives at 1/21/2019 being the end of the Metonic cycle?

It sounds kind of funny, the way you say it. At least you work and live near a small town. I wonder how many people, how many Bible people here live within a big city?Where i'm at now, (in Canada), the Christmas season was busy. Gas is cheap, the traffic is thick and all types of construction is booming. New dodge rams are growing on trees. Roads, transit and home construction are booming. People have been eating and drinking and marrying and giving in marriage. Every other guy at the gas pumps in the morning has a yellow or orange construction jacket on. The dump truck drivers here make 250 bucks a load, 1000 dollars a day. If there's no apocalypse by spring, i want to get my air brake licence. I'll make a million bucks, and build some pole barns to store all my junk. And I will say in my heart, “Dave, you have ample goods laid up for many years; relax, eat, drink, be merry.”’ And then the apocalypse will probably come and wash me all away.
LIKE MIKE -- I have to say I LIVE in a BIG TOWN -- or at least a large Metropolitan Area
AS wikipedia phrases it ......... A metropolitan area, sometimes referred to as a metro area or commuter belt, is a region consisting of a densely populated urban core and its less-populated surrounding territories, sharing industry, infrastructure, and housing. A metro area usually comprises multiple jurisdictions and municipalities: neighborhoods, townships, boroughs, cities, towns, exurbs, suburbs, counties, districts, states, and even nations like the eurodistricts. As social, economic and political institutions have changed, metropolitan areas have become key economic and political regions. Metropolitan areas include one or more urban areas, as well as satellite cities, towns and intervening rural areas that are socioeconomically tied to the urban core, typically measured by commuting patterns. In the United States, the concept of the metropolitan statistical area has gained prominence.
I live approximately 10 miles from Washington DC.....
The DC Metropolitan Area -- is several Large-esh Cities surrounding DC.........
I live within the commuter belt (read Metro Line Commuting distance)
You would basically need to go another ten miles out -- to get into the Suburbs -- of DC
SO while it is not one Large City -- it is a very large urban area......
As far as "People have been eating and drinking and marrying and giving in marriage."
Yes, there is a lot of that [eating and drinking and marrying] going on around here (as well as many funerals).............

BIG TOWN Washington DC. Have you ever bumped into Trump at the grocery store on the weekend?, if you do tell him Dave Watchman said hi. I bet it MUST be busy in traffic around there. Got to get up early to beat the traffic. Eating and drinking and marrying. The restaurants around the Toronto area are breaking records. Even the previously obscure and quiet companies that supply the parts to the industrial kitchen equipment are breaking records in growth. I see lineups at the counter of repairmen buying parts at RG Henderson. The place used to be dead five years ago, now all the parking places are filled. And they can't hire people fast enough. Scroll down their web site to see: "As a result of our continuous growth in both parts and service, we are always hiring! www.rghenderson.on.ca/Eating and drinking and marrying. Peaceful Sabbath.

Now i'm watching this Paul Watchman Dawson video and it's giving me the willies. Does anyone know how he arrives at 1/21/2019 being the end of the Metonic cycle? Elementary my dear bondservant, I'm glad that you have asked. There are seven embolismic years within the 19-year cycle. The pattern of common versus embolismic years is as follows. Embolismic years (years containing 13 months) are shown in red: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19
There are never two embolismic years in a row. There are never more than two common years before there is another embolismic year. Below is a chart illustrating the Metonic cycle from 1802 to 20481. It is very important to note that this chart is based on Cairo time (Cairo, Egypt = UTC +2)2. The New Moon Day Gregorian dates listed here are specific to Cairo and will not necessarily be applicable to other locations. You will need to check conjunction times3 and dawn (astronomical twilight) times4 for your specific location to ascertain the Gregorian dates on which New Moon Day will fall in your area. In order to identify the start of a new year (Abib 1), we must locate the New Moon closest to the vernal equinox. (Using this method typically places the start of the year between March 7 and April 6.) Note: When we have correctly identified the New Moon closest to the vernal equinox, the following criteria will be met: The vernal equinox will take place before Passover (the 14th day of the lunar month). The vernal equinox will take place before the full moon. Note also: I have no idea what any of this means. I just copied it from a quick google job. www.worldslastchance.com/yahuwahs-calendar/the-metonic-cycle-made-simple.html(I have to watch the video again) I have been following this thread & I like #TheBeginningIsNear more than "And Then Shall the End Come" That's the spirit old boy. Lift up our heads, for our redemption draweth nigh. And what says you Mr bond? Do you live near a big city, or out in the country?

Dave, You're so funny...OK I dont live in a big city but the suburbs of NYC. With little traffic I am in NYC in half hour. I can tell you that Natalie's experience in a small town is no different than it is here where there's about 25 million people between NYC, North Jersey and into Long Island & CT. It is the days of Noah and certainly the days of Lot. I just started my annual reading and read Genesis 18 & 19 yesterday and yup, days of Lot for sure around here and well frankly everywhere I am aware of. With 2 young boys/men in my house and the use of Instagram, Snapchat and the likes - the days of Lot (immorality) are rampant, as are the days of Noah (blasphemous & anti-Christ) not in my area only, but country and worldwide. Its horrible but not surprising. God told us it would happen and here it is, right in our faces! Go do your thing and live your life, Godly! Build the barn, buy the new truck, get the mail order bride...as soon as you finish it all and kick back to enjoy POOF! we're gone and the wrath begins Thanks Mike, it's fun to laugh. But i'm sure even the people from the suburbs of NYC sound like tough guys when they talk. Even the old ladies from NYC have that tough sounding accent. Joan Rivers had that tone where she sounded like she knew what she was talking about when she told you what was what. I agree with what you're saying about the days of Noah, and especially the days of Lot. I don't think there's going to be the time now to buy dump trucks and build pole barns. Or time to convert a school bus into a camper. Even if my "darkened" sun hypothesis is erroneous, i don't think we're going much further in time. I'm looking at this old article from last year that i missed. About the schools giving out condoms. And now to the middle schools, 11 to 13 year olds. They have them out in jars like candy in multi-colored packaging. The composite beast, the governmental authorities, appear to be steering the on coming generation with a careless agenda. Transvestites in the school washrooms, and free condoms for the junior high. www.nbc4i.com/news/u-s-world/school-board-oks-condoms-for-middle-school-children/1114414116#

Holiday Rooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaad....... I pick your place as the winner so far, for the place i would like to live if i didn't like mine. Especially if Randy Quaid was my neighbor, that guy was funny, that guy cracks me up. I remember him from the Missouri Breaks with Marlon Brando. I had to google it. When i saw that movie, i had no thoughts of Bible Eschatology. I had no fear of the end of days. My only fear was running out of Doritos before the movie ended. It looks like a nice neck of the woods. Comes with a barn. On a Peaceful Sabbath.

Now i'm watching this Paul Watchman Dawson video and it's giving me the willies. Does anyone know how he arrives at 1/21/2019 being the end of the Metonic cycle? I was searching around but didn't find an easy chart or a consensus of any kind. It reminded me of the Jubilee calendar data where differing opinions are found. And while i'm looking, i'm trying to think of what bearing it would have to our questions. What would be the ramifications on our end times. I wish they had a video search engine so that one wouldn't have to watch repeatedly to review a specific segment. I think what Paul is saying is that our first blood moon of this 19 year cycle happened on January 20, 2000, and it will end in the same place at the end of this cycle 19 years latter in January 20, 2019. It sounds very much like celestial mechanics. Watch the video again from 15 to 18 minutes. It's spooky. "What i'm trying to show you guys is that all this stuff is pointing to right now. "It's pointing to immediately. "Something is just about to happen.

This is a perfect description of this small town I live near and work in. ... If there's no apocalypse by spring, i want to get my air brake licence. I'll make a million bucks, and build some pole barns to store all my junk. You forgot to include a comment about finding a wife, Dave. 🤣 All joking aside, being that you are in Canada, eh? (Hello fellow Canuk) Haven't you thought to pray about the Lord bringing you your mail-order bride to you without the mail-order part? I know many happy relationships of men who have found a wonderful wife in one of the beautiful Phillipino women that have seasonal or more permanent work in my area of our country. You are lucky to live where the economy is still good. People are pulling the wool over their eyes in my area. Gas prices are low at the pump, but that doesn't boost an economy where there is a stagnant industry hindered by legislation and protesters. More rail cars doesn't help when our rail is already crowded and it hinders other important industries from getting their products to port. Property assessments are down 10% in nearby cities, resulting in less taxes collected regardless of the increase to taxes. Nevermind the fact that there are not only provincial carbon taxes and soon to be implemented federal ones. Oh, and last I heard, the federal budget that Derek Zoolander previously stated "would balance itself" and be "a balanced budget in 2019", will now not see a potential to be balanced until 2042. 42! I am very blessed that God has blessed both me and my husband with employment opportunities that may not be lucrative, but we are always provided for. So the downturn that no one will admit is a down-turn hasn't affected us much. 👍 I am not entirely sure that truck driving will net you the millions you are looking for to build your pole barns. Perhaps you could look at decluttering your junk. Having less is better than barns full of junk, I know this because I had to clean out the barns full of junk. 😬 Not a fun year.😢 If you ever need any decluttering advice, I have become excellently unprepared for long-term prepper situations.☺ Embracing "the God will provide attitude" 👍👍 will allow you to let go of so many items that are seeing damage from rain and snow since you are pole-barnless. 🤣

I posted my last reply before I got to the end of the thread @dave Evansville. 🤣
Scarborough sure sounds like an anomaly in the economy. My username is actually where I live. Very localized to where I live, that it isn't even on a map. 😆 Unless you look in the history book for my area and read the handwritten map from the early 1900s.
I gave away copies of Todd Hampson's book: The Non-Prophet's Guide™ to the End Times: Bible Prophecy for Everyone today. I ordered them on the super sale that made them affordable to ship across the border and pay the exchange rate. Wasn't too sure if God's plan was to have a box of books in the post or delivered prior to the rapture, but it looks like his timing allowed me to hand them out. Gave one to my non-Christian friend and her kids who can feel the world isn't right but won't admit it. Gave one to my lapsing-Christian friend and her kids so that it hopefully provides some encouragement. Left one on the cube in my living room and found my husband checking it out (attends church, knows nothing of end times prophecy as far as I know). Gave several to my son's youth group friends and their families. I have one copy to give left and am praying for direction on where to gift it. At least there are now 10 copies of a well-written book floating around my community for when it is the right time.

Wow, my heart goes out to you. I bet you win the prize for living in the coldest area. I know that it gets COLD up there. - 20, -40, -60? I met a GM service manager from Edmonton. He told me that when a rear wheel drive vehicle gets towed into the shop from sitting out all night in the cold that the rear wheels will lock up because the differential fluid will freeze. The place i work for has a branch in Edmonton. A couple years ago the employees wouldn't come to work there. They got depressed about working through the cold winter out in the trucks all day. They kept calling in sick and the routes wouldn't go out They asked the Toronto branch for volunteers to go out and help them.

At least there are now 10 copies of a well-written book floating around my community for when it is the right time. I had always hoped we'd have free trade by now. I think that you've done a good job with the books. Even if they put the books on the shelf for a time, they will still be sitting around somewhere, as a witness to any that see them, waiting to be read. It's a gift that can keep on giving into whatever future remains. When i was 10, a Baptist Pastor and his wife lived on our block in the neighborhood. They came to our house for coffee and dropped off a bag of paper back books. The bag sat around for awhile, maybe a couple of years. I opened it up to find an orange one by Tim LaHaye, and a red one by Hal Lindsey called the Late Great Planet Earth. I did my best to eat the red book, and then forgot about it for 20 or more years, but the seed was planted. I never forgot about it. I bet i still have it somewhere.

... If there's no apocalypse by spring, i want to get my air brake licence. I'll make a million bucks, and build some pole barns to store all my junk. You forgot to include a comment about finding a wife, Dave. I know i did. That's funny. I though that i might be over using the joke. I need some new material. And i know that it's risky, not everyone might know i'm joking. You are lucky to live where the economy is still good. People are pulling the wool over their eyes in my area. Gas prices are low at the pump, but that doesn't boost an economy where there is a stagnant industry hindered by legislation and protesters.

Property assessments are down 10% in nearby cities, resulting in less taxes collected regardless of the increase to taxes.

Oh, and last I heard, the federal budget that Derek Zoolander previously stated "would balance itself" and be "a balanced budget in 2019", will now not see a potential to be balanced until 2042. 42! Derek Zoolander, that's another funny name. It sounds like a good login name. Dave Zoolander. Hi, my name is Dave Zoolander. If i can get a mail order bride by 2042, i guarantee that the budget will be balanced by then. Dave Zoolander will be looking down from New Jerusalem by then. 2042? HELLO? I KNOW that it's tough out there. When oil was 150 bucks a barrel, just a handful of years ago, i was hearing stories about Tim Horton having to pay 20 bucks an hour to get girls to work out there. And there was no place affordable for them to stay. But as soon as i started to hear on the radio, oil trending down to unheard of lows, i knew that the oil sands would be unprofitable. It also made me think the apocalypse was getting near. Because cheap oil everywhere else would cause a boom in the economy. It would help to enable the buying and selling and the planting and building and the marrying and giving in marriage. Until it all gets washed away. I am very blessed that God has blessed both me and my husband with employment opportunities that may not be lucrative, but we are always provided for. So the downturn that no one will admit is a down-turn hasn't affected us much. 👍 Plus you're so far up north, you're safe. If we do have a taste of the trib, the bad guys might not go so far out of the way and into the cold to get anyone. Their differentials will be locked up from the cold anyway, they'll stay south for easy pickings I am not entirely sure that truck driving will net you the millions you are looking for to build your pole barns. Perhaps you could look at decluttering your junk. Having less is better than barns full of junk, I know this because I had to clean out the barns full of junk. 😬 Not a fun year.😢 If you ever need any decluttering advice, I have become excellently unprepared for long-term prepper situations.☺ Embracing "the God will provide attitude" 👍👍 will allow you to let go of so many items that are seeing damage from rain and snow since you are pole-barnless. 🤣 I honestly don't think that it will NOW anyway, so don't feel envious about it. It has been good for many in recent years here. There's been a condo boom, and a major transit construction along Eglinton Ave. The dump truck driver will gross 250K per year, 250 per load, 1000 bucks a day. But a good truck costs almost 200K. And a brake job on one of those things might be 5000, i don't know. And it's not going to last forever. Once the subway is finished, est 2026, and when the real estate market softens, the trucks will slow down. I like your quote: "I have become excellently unprepared for long-term prepper situations. That's the Way to be. I call everything JUNK. I drive junk, and i work on my junk. My computers are junk. I'm usually doing a brake job, or an o2 sensor or buying tools on sale at Canadian Tire or Princess auto. Right now i've got two 20X10 portable tent garages, and a real 25X12 foot shed. All joking aside, being that you are in Canada, eh? (Hello fellow Canuk) Haven't you thought to pray about the Lord bringing you your mail-order bride to you without the mail-order part? I know many happy relationships of men who have found a wonderful wife in one of the beautiful Phillipino women that have seasonal or more permanent work in my area of our country. That IS funny. And you got it right, the "beautiful Phillipino women" are everywhere here too. And south American, And Russian, And Chinese. There's no need to order them through the mail. But i have to come clean with you sawdy, I AM not Canadian. I was born in southern Michigan, so i'm a landed immigrant in your country. Some Canadians live in the country, some of them live in town. But these are the people who make me proud to say this is my stompin' ground.
