OT: Apocalyptic Quotes

[Emperor's Child]

Another final-battle type of book ispired by the bible is the last book in the Chronicles of Narnia, the final battle or something like that.

I've yet to read that one but the whole series has a close tie with biblicle symbology.

and that happy-go-lucky angel of death, Azrael

could be Loki. and a valkyrie.

I know, if I was being properly accurate, it should be Loki, but Azrael just has a more sinister ring to it. Plus Loki's the name of my pet in WoW, if I named the character Loki, I'd have no choice but to title the story 'Ode To My Cat'.

Anyway, keep the quotes coming, although I really could use a few more quotes from religious texts pretaining to the Apocalypse, and not just Christian ones. Muslim, Jewish, Buddist, Hindu, hell if they have Armageddon in Shintoism, I wanna know about it.

Not for me. How sinister could someone be who couldn't even catch a Smurf?

What about the speech from LoTR that King Theoden gives just prior to the Charge of the Rohirrim at the Battle of the Pelennor Fields?

Probably some other good LoTR apocalyptic quotes.

Must be something good in "Apocalypse Now."

"It ain't over 'til the fat lady sings." some baseball manager

"It ain't over 'til it's over." another baseball manager

"Turn out the lights, the party's over." country-western song, sung frequently by a Monday Night Football color commentator in the 1980s (or was that '70s?)

"It's Over" Roy Orbison/William Dees

Your baby doesn't love you anymore

Golden days before they end,
Whisper secrets to the wind
Your baby won't be near you anymore.

Tender nights before they fly
And falling stars that seem to cry
Your baby doesen't want you anymore
It's over.

It breaks your heart in two
To know she's been untrue
But, oh what will you do?
When she says to you there's someone new
We're through, we're through.

It's over
It's over
it's over

All the rainbows in the sky
Start to weep and say goodbye
You won't be seeing rainbows anymore.

Setting suns before they fall
They come to you. That's all, that's all
But you'll see lonely sunsets after all.

It's over, It's over, it's over
It's over

You may as well chuck in The Doors doing The End if we're doing song quotes.

On which note doyou want a date? Popular one's are the year 1500 in the Muslim calendar (which many sects think is the end date) or, if you want some more time how about 2076, which is they year 6000 in the Jewish calendar.

Why rely on dates that may or may not mean something on a calendar system? Just ask a Jehovah's Witness who, allegedly, say the Battle of Armageddon will being in 2014.

Oddest is probably the Mayan calendar which just stops on December 28th 2012 as the last long cycle finishes. Perhaps this means the end of the world, perhaps it just means even ancient civilisations had their own Y2K bugs.

"The heavens burned the stars cried out and hope scarred and bleeding breathed her last."

"God made man, Man turned his back on God, God smacks man upside head, man exploded." Can't remember where this came from but I laughed my *** off because I know God has to have at least a little bit of a sense of humor.

"The skies burned, the wind screamed, the ghosts of our fathers prowled the earth and in the end silence......simple agonizing silence."

"When you see the light.....it's already too late cause your dead."

"Lo' there do I see my fathers.
Lo' there do I see my mothers,
Lo' there do I see my brothers and my sisters.
Lo' there do I see the line of my people
back to the beginning.
Lo' they call to me.
They bid me to take my place among them,
in the Halls of Valhalla,
where the brave may live forever."

"When the last star burns out its pitiful life I will be there and when death comes to take me I will spit in his eye for the day has not yet come when I will face death quietly."

"The only reason I haven't died yet is because they are still building a special level of hell for me."

"Death comes for everyone, but that doesn't mean you can't make that old son of a ***** work hard to catch you."

"Death....hah....DEATH FEARS ME!"

"I have become Shiva destroyer of worlds."

"We are become death....it's shadow falls before us....our hands wear it's mark; our eyes burn it's fire and our hearts are cold as we carry its fear with us like a plague...for we are the end of all things and the begining of darkness."

"The Earth broke and tore, a great rumbling arose from it like a scream of pain and lava erupted like geysers of blood; the sky was alight with a sickly glow and the air chocked with ash and the stench of death."

[kerensky]

"Forget the power of technology, of progress and understanding. Forget the promiss of science and commin humanity, for there is no peace amongst the stars, only an eternity of carnage and slaughter and the laughter of thirsting gods."
