Our local news did not mention when it would be removed, but I live just a few miles from the Capitol building and I plan to go and take some pictures before the week is out.
They are wrong.
The first.

"…Know this first of all, that in the last days mockers will come with their mocking, following after their own lusts, and saying, "Where is the promise of His coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all continues just as it was from the beginning of creation."
It is not a war on Christians because Christians don’t fight back.
