Rome ruled the Mediterranean world, in the days of the first coming of the Messiah, and there will be a revived Roman empire, a European super state at the time of the second coming.

Let's see -- How long will the Germans continue working 'til age 70 so that Greek bureaucrats can retire at age 50? Weren't there supposed to be TEN members of the "prophesied" European super state? What happened to that bit of numerology? Or have you already forgotten that bit of expert prophetic proclamation? Nice to have a convenient memory hole, a place to flush old books and old wives.

That's the fun of being a prophecy pimp -- you never have to say you're sorry.

No matter how many times your predictions fail to materialize, you can just go on confidently asserting some more extreme psychic garbage, in the confidence that there's a sucker born every minute, and there will always be a market for those who can tell people --

"Don't worry. Don't bother. The game is already rigged, the fight is already fixed, God has already decided to take a dive -- and He expects nothing of you."

Leon Festinger coined the term cognitive dissonance to describe the phenomenon that keeps the prophecy pimps in business. When their divinations and auguries fail to pan out, people process the conflict by becoming even more attached to the false prophet and the nonsensical religion he is peddling.

RJR fan- where do I even began to sort out your nonsense? You attributed so much to me that I never said- thats why I tire of dealing with people like you-
I have to refute things I never asserted and also have to bear with bitter, hateful insults-such as being called a PIMP!
* I never said there had to be ten states in the EU ! Easy to set up straw men and knock them down, but not honest-Thou shalt not bear false witness!
*Your rank comment about ‘memory holes for wives and books’ makes no sense- brother you are just bitter for some reason. I will pray for you!
*I make no predictions I just comment on scripture, as I understand it-
*Who but you stated that God is going to take a dive? certainly not me-
I would appreciate a little more integrity and civility in further discussions Rushdoony fan-
