Herod the great didn’t call fire from heaven nor caused men(great and small) all over the world to be forced to take a mark in their right hand and forehead so that they could buy or sell...read your Bible again. Neither did Herod give life to an image to himself and cause it to speak like the Bible says...read the prophecies again...then come back and and try to sell me your SERPENT of EDEN’s oil! Herod never fought a last battle on the plains of Megiddo, nor was he thrown alive into the lake of fire...Read your Bible again!

Um... didn't say that he did.

I did say that Herod fulfilled Daniel 11:36-39, which has nothing to do with the sections of Revelation to which you are referring.

And none of which has anything to do with a discussion of the wisdom of AD 2010 US foreign-aid funding for Palestinian militias.

Which was ACTUALLY the subject of the Article posted for discussion, FWIW.

Israel is being maneuvred and cornered just like the Bible says it would be at the time of the rise of the BEAST. The posting is relevant...

Now I don’t think Obama is the “son of perdition”, he isn’t smart enough, and too many folks haven’t fallen under a “strong delusion” “so that they should believe a lie”. Obama has no respect in most of the world now.

A Julius Caesar type is what I see arising, inexorably magnetic, strong to defeat his enemies (if he can’t flatter them into submission) and a penchant for calling fire out of the sky. The whole world will wonder after him, curry his favor and seek his protection. He’ll have a power base that can project military power on land, sea, air and even space...now what sort of nation could do that now that already has a military presence or advisors or command structures in over 110 countries...?
