Why is the Coliseum, with its lift for introducing wild animals, being rebuilt now?

The Termite Nations have dispensed with God and His Commandments in their quest for unbridled hedonism. We are being prepared for the Reign of Antichrist. The Rev. P. Huchede, in his work entitled "History of Antichrist," explains the religious preparation, both intellectual and moral, for the Reign of Antichrist which will arrive after economic collapse: "But how shall he deprive the world of Christianity and have himself adored as God? Alas, it is only too true that the minds and hearts of men are admirably disposed for revolution and consequently ready to accept and bear the cruel yoke of such a tyrant. Revolution as the word itself implies means a subversion, but a subversion of all that is true, good, beautiful, and grand in the universe. It is the subversion of religion, representing its dogmas as myths and its moral teachings as tyranical. It is the subversion of authority. Licentiousness under the name of liberty becomes the order of the day; each one is invested with the right to govern himself. It is the subversion of reason: and do we not find leading minds in some of the most enlightened nations denying the principle of contradiction and maintaining the absolute identity of all beings? Revolution is therefore essentially destructive, and it becomes cosmopolitan by the action of secret societies scattered throughout the world. Is it not true to say that the 'mystery of iniquity' is prepared in secret revolutionary dens? But it does not suffice to destroy; it is absolutely necessary to build up again. The world cannot subsist long in a vacuum. It must have a religion; it must have a philosophy; it must have an authority. Revolution will furnish all these. Instead of the reasonable and supernatural religion of Jesus Christ, Revolution will preach Pantheism. The God-humanity will impart the theurgic spirit and thus lead men to adore the demon as the author of universal emancipation...

What frightful immorality must follow in the train of this shameless prostitution of religion! Never has the threefold concupiscence made greater ravage among mankind. And this is the religion sought and hoped for as the cherished boon of the aspirations of our modern free thinkers. To our Christian philosophy, the honor of humanity's revolution will substitute a babel of extravagant and absurd ideas. Instead of a mild and efficient authority consecrated alike by Church and state, despotism and anarchy will rise up and contend for the shreds of religious liberty and human policy...if the state of perversion continue for a while longer, he [Antichrist] will find the world prepared to receive and serve him." (Rev. P. Huchede, History of Antichrist, pp. 13-14, Tan Books).

The spirit of Antichrist is intensifying and hostility toward Christians (and the Catholic Church in particular) is spreading like a cancer. Father Bernard Maria Clausi. O.F.M. (d. 1849), speaking of the coming chastisement, says that before the Triumph of the Church, "terrible will be the persecution of the wicked against the just.." See here. 

And this persecution is beginning to intensify. Soon it will become bloody. For the Lucifer State will not tolerate dissent. Already preparation is underway for killing those who refuse to accept the Satanic programme. See here.

Why is the Coliseum being rebuilt now? Why is it so important to rebuild the lifts for introducing wild animals into the Coliseum?

They gonna start feeding Christians to the lions again?

[Resolute Conservative]

If you sub lions with “muslimes” it is already underway.

[Hiro Protaginast]

Who let you out of the asylum?

[humblegunner]

It’s being rebuilt because you are a scumsucking blogpimp:

[agrarianlady]

This is a ridiculous waste of space. Yes, it’s already a bloody time for Christians - just read the news! But this just makes whoever wrote it sound like an ignoramus.

So tired of this nonsense, and I’m a Christian.

...scumsucking blogpimp...

Enduring your mental illness is one of the few downers of Free Republic.

Take a pill or something.

[ozzymandus]

It’s called history, idiot.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Wouldn’t they prefer to feed us to lions in some more comfortable modern venue, like Wembley Stadium or CenturyLink Field? Someplace with luxury boxes and a Jumbotron?

[SunkenCiv]

I hadn't laughed at something like that in ages. LOL!

[a fool in paradise]

I don’t know if they are going to go that far (Christian meat isn’t halal) but the timing almost seems symbolic and I did see a documentary about the lift on PBS this year.

[SunkenCiv]

I had often wondered when the great statue that gave the edifice its name had gone for good -- apparently a mere 1000 years ago, apparently pulled down to recycle its bronze.

Rome Colosseum repair to be funded by Tods shoe firm 21 [January 2011] The founder of the Tod's luxury shoe brand has said he will cover the cost of restoring the Colosseum. Officials have accepted Diego Della Valle's offer to sponsor the restoration of the ancient Roma arena. Rome's mayor described news the city finally had the funds to undertake the project as "the end of a nightmare". Restoration work, which will cost some €25m (£21m; $34m), is expected to begin at the end of the year and will take two and a half years to complete. "A monument that represents Italy in the world must be restored, and a company that represents Made in Italy stepped forward to say, 'If you need us, we are here'," Mr Della Valle, who founded the shoe company Tod's, told a press conference. He added that he hoped other entrepreneurs would also get involved in raising the funds needed. The sponsorship campaign is the biggest to rescue Italy's crumbling archaeological treasures with private money. The ancient Roman arena, which dates from 80 AD and attracts some six million visitors a year, is blackened by pollution and shaken by the vibrations of an underground metro line that runs nearby. The monument is expected to stay open to visitors during the period of restoration and Mr Della Valle promised he would not use the structure as a vast advertising space. "I won't put Tod's shoes on the Colosseum," he said.

Perhaps the NFL is expanding to Rome. Then Bears, Jaguars, Lions, Rams and other critters will be showing up.

[cornfedcowboy]

concupiscence? My perspicaciousness is waning.

[moovova]

Good luck getting any of the current feline residents of the Colosseum into that cage...

[Celtic Conservative]

I’m with humble on this one. Cleghorn’s posting history is quite clear.

"Why is the Coliseum being rebuilt now? Why is it so important to rebuild the lifts for introducing wild animals into the Coliseum?"

Because some man has lots of time and an interest in such things. Why did someone rebuild an Egyptian Chariot? Why do people build replica trebuchet? Because it's fun.

[GeronL]

They probably do want that

[dljordan]

“Why is the Coliseum being rebuilt now?”

Because “the empire never ended”.
