Well, that is the first time I have seen that interpretation of Revelations...and I have seen a slew of different interpretations.
While a nice interpretation there is no real way to back up that idea.
A better place supposedly in revelations to find the USA, since Revelations is all about symbols, is when some interpret the people of Israel are fleeing and many are saved on the wings of eagles(symbol for the USA).
"And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent." Revelation 12:14
I remember that Jimmy Carter won less than a majority of the Jewish vote in 1980. I hope history repeats itself with Obama.
Amen!
It could be how the Tribulation starts. Obama has practically said that the US will not defend Israel if they are attacked by the Muslim world, which means that the Muslims are more likely to attack. An attack that is repulsed by God will mean that the Rapture and Tribulation is very near.
“To get the terminology right” they are not borders at all. They are ceasefire lines.
At least that article, despite the fact it came from a leftist Jewish web site, suggested that Republicans were actively courting "Jewish leaders" and making gains improving their acceptability in the Jewish community.
I suppose the major point of your link is that Republicans even in 2004 had valid reasons to claim they were the more pro-Israel of the two major parties. Yes, that's very true, but Republicans have been saying this since at least 1985, when the Republican Jewish Coalition (formerly the National Jewish Coalition) was established. This national organization of Jewish Republicans has grown impressively in membership since then.
Remember that Reagan in 1980 got a larger percentage of the Jewish vote than any GOP presidential candidate since Warren Harding.
Thanks justiceseeker93.
Before he buily drath camps for the Jews, Hitler built centers of, I think he alled them ‘social hygiene”. He exterminated 197000 German Christians. If the SS would kill them they would kill anyone..
Jewish voters are largely located in states that vote Democrat. So I agree, it would take a dramatic shift to make a dent in then outcome of the electoral college.
It is also a mistake to think of Jews as a block for Israel. They are not Israelis, they are Americans and they vote based on interests that effect them and the country as Americans. I disagree with most of them, but it is what it is. We have to try to change their minds with reason.
In the meantime, what really needs to happen is for the Jewish vote to throw its weight towards Republican candidates for other offices. Getting rid of the Waxman’s and Schumers would be far more effective - even wrt Israel - because with these guys gone there would be less cover for any Democratic president of the future. It would also be a fitting way to punish the President, by hurting his party and dividing it.
Very difficult to reason with addicts - either political or chemical - because their thought and behavior are so irrational and self-destructive, yet they find satisfaction in persisting in what they do.
None of us can “back up” our ideas when it comes to Revelation, as you are right, it IS a book of symbols. I simply see us as the most Christian nation on the planet and hope we can make things right before this time comes. I’m hoping that the reason we aren’t explicitly named doesn’t turn out to be that BO and his friends have turned us into a third-world nation, a 250 year “blip”, that just didn’t matter.
Obama, the new Arafat, has crossed the line of no return relating to Israel, in demanding what is tantamount to national suicide for Israel, and if Obama and his crowd have their way, a victory for radical Islam. NEVER AGAIN!
If the AIPAC were warned, than that's the essence of (pro)Islamic terrorism.
