Why does this article make me reach for the final chapter of the Bible?
Because you know who signs the peace treaty and starts the ticking of the seven year clock.
I hear ya!
The only political thing standing between the world and the coming destruction as laid out in that final chapter (actually book Revelation), is America. The world will sink quickly without a strong and free America. If this imposter is allowed to take this country down, then among other things, its a sign the God is allowing it and that Jesus is coming very soon because The End will be at hand. Bible prophecy is more up to date than tomorrow's newspaper.
