Denis,
Your mention of October 23, 1942 reminded me that
James Ussher, bishop of Church of Ireland, Archbishop
of Armagh, and Primate of All Ireland, said that Creation
was on October 23, 4004 BC/710 JP.
Could the end of all creation be on October 23, 2012 AD,
as well ? His dates for all chapters are listed in some of
the KJV Bibles as BC [BCE] years. I've counted up all
the years in AM [year of the world] years and believe
his are slightly off kilter, according to ME. I used only
KJV Scripture and compared it with James Ussher's BC
years or before common era.
My father was in WW1 and I remember, before he died,
talking abour the battles at El Alamein. I thought he was
talking about his war. I was very young during WW2 but
now I am very old. ;o)
