Revelation 16:12New International Version (NIV)
12 The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up to prepare the way for the kings from the East.
As long as you don’t post the beheading portion of Revalation, I don’t worry. Well, that isn’t true, Revelation makes it more likely that the ultimate battle is against Islam. I think that and his understanding of the Koran is what drove Jefferson to his conclusions. Yet here we are doing the things he said would never work.. sending ransoms and protection money to a people who keep 30 million slaves today.. more than in the history of the world.
That verse popped into my head the moment I read the headline.
I flashed on the same thing when I heard it, too.
