    This is the second one of Dan‘s videos I’ve watched debunking this particular woman. That’s quite the schtick she’s got there isn’t it? Put on thick makeup and mouth absurdities with a deadpan expression and apparent absolute confidence in their accuracy. She could go on like this for a long time. Just scour the headlines for some disaster and conflate it with some biblical prophecy all the while putting on this awkwardly bizarre performance.
    I really appreciate Dan’s responses because I learn something from watching. But when I see someone like her performing, I have some curiosity as to whether she’s as delusional as she presents herself or whether she consciously knows that she’s scamming people. Given that the Internet allows you to reach millions of people there’s always plenty of people out there who will believe this kind of nonsense, and be convinced that she’s on to some greater truth. I don’t know how Dan keeps from laughing.

    I've always wondered about that number 200,000,000, and if that's the number really intended. It's dimyrias myrias in Greek, which just means two myriads of myriads. Supposedly myriad eventually referred to 10,000, instead of just an uncountable number. These terms almost certainly come from Daniel 7, which uses myrias myrias to indicate the number of angels worshiping God. I think Revelation is just taking this number and doubling it to show that this is twice the number of demons, compared to the angels in Daniel 7.

  • @davidhinkley
    @davidhinkley Год назад +4

    This is tongue-in-cheek folks: I've always said that the word lie is the most important part of the word believe. In our times, it seems that they've become synonymous. It's as if saying "I believe" is equal to saying "I be lying" or "I embrace lies." Though that is incorrect, it is a good rule of thumb. Even if much (or most) of the time the speakers/writers are lying to themselves as well. From politicians to corporate leaders to salesmen/marketers to religious folk/preachers the word believe is used to as a form of reassurance ("I believe that there will be peace in the Middle East.") or to avoid responsibility (I believe that the chemicals our trains were transporting were not dangerous chemicals and that the decision to use a 100 year old braking system was a good one." but I can't remember when it was used for something true/real.

    • @TechySeven

      I once started to tell a Christian something like "Bible + Liar = beLIEver", because they were the type to use Acrostic Poetry and Anagrams, but I stopped to think about it because while the content made sense... the words & letters weren't a perfect match. It was then, upon further thinking, I realized:
      Believer = Evil + Beer ~ Evil = Believer - Beer ~ Beer = Believer - Evil ~ And another Anagram for Believer: "Be EVILer"

    @mattmiller9809 Год назад +1

    Whats so mind baffling stupid about this is that she's quite literally calling the apostle John (who she believes wrote Revelations but who didn't actually write the book of Revelations) stupid. A 1st century author, while not up to date on modern technology, wasn't stupid. They would be educated enough to know the difference between a train and a fucking horse lmaooo. Like if I was someone in the 1st century and I saw a vision of a train killing millions due to pollution and whatnot, I wouldn't write "and then the horsemen went on his horse and slaughtered billions", I would say something like "caravans of iron caused pestilence that made millions die in dark skies".
    When the author of Revelations says "horse", we have no reason to doubt that he meant horse. It's like when people claim the Mark of the Beast is Panera is scanning people's hands as a form of payment (rather than scanning a phone for apple pay or tapping a card). The author likely is smart enough to know what a Mark is and if he didn't mean a physical Mark, he would've used other language.
    I, an atheist, have more respect and a higher opinion of "John" than they do apparently.
