@shortstories It bothers me that this happens to be "the year of the dragon."
I don't really agree with theologians who use astronomy and astrological signs as, well, "signs," but this does rub me the wrong way, considering that the Cathedral sure seems to love demonic attunement.
To be fair, we're told that the stars were created "for signs, seasons, days, and years." What do you think? Any thoughts about the Year of the Dragon?
The year of the dragon is supposed to be the year when the most powerful and bold act.
The year for shit to get crazy.

Dragon happens once every twelve years and is nothing to worry about it does not mean the end of the world because if it did the world would have ended in the previous dragon cycles
"The Dragon, also known as Loong, (simplified Chinese: 龙; traditional Chinese: 龍; pinyin: lóng; Jyutping: lung4; Cantonese Yale: lùhng) is the fifth of the 12-year cycle of animals which appear in the Chinese zodiac"
@shortstories @UncleIroh Yes, I'm aware of that but thank you for saying so. I probably should have been more clear.
It's not like they don't do demonic shit every single year anyway. It's just gonna be a wild year and THEY definitely care about the eastern symbolism.
Being the year of the dragon means there will be dragon themes in the news articles or at least the news articles in countries & languages that have the year of the dragon embedded in their culture like news in Chinese language and from Chinese sources because news is mainly fictional scripts written by script writers
Dragon themes will also appear in fiction movies and entertainment during the year of the dragon
@shortstories @UncleIroh Y2K in 2000, Mayan Calendar in 2012, Aliens in 2024. Every 12 years they perform an end-of-the-world symbolic ritual.

This section covers some of the lesser known failed predictions and changed date doctrine of the Watchtower Society. For the more important dates see the pages on 1914, 1925, 1975
@shortstories @UncleIroh Yeah, they had a huuuuge thing in 1988 with the book "88 Reasons the Rapture will Happen in 1988" alongside "The Late Great Planet Earth."
It seems to really surge worldwide in these cycles.
You guys seem to be talking about 2 distinct cultural streams:
1. the Christian-Zionist heresy of Dispensationalism based on the Scofield bible - rapture, end times, etc..
2. Asian "Year of the Dragon" zodiac symbolism.
I don't think there's mileage in trying to combine these two.
I am not familiar with the relationship between the Chinese Zodiac and the end of the world claims
But I am sure they use the Chinese Zodiac to determine what kind of stories they choose to put in the news
I have even heard news stories mention the zodiac animal year and how it relates to the news story before
