btw, that link to rap ture (not the Blondie song) on your page is hilarious.

Let’s see “the reunification of Europe” — err.. Europe was never unified and it isn’t unified now — the EU doesn’t include a large chunk of eastern Europe (Russia, Bialorus, Ukraine, Moldova), nor does it include Thrace. And “Europe” has never, I repeat, never been unified.

Oh you mean the “Roman Empire unified Europe” - well nope - the Roman Empire was primarily a Mediterranean based empire - to “reunify the Roman Empire” would be to have all of the Med littoral lands unified and not including northern Germany or the Netherlands or Poland or Scandinavia

Ooh and another doozy “the number of global wars that have occured” - wait, don’t you want to include the 7 years war between Britain and France and allies that was fought on the continents of North America, South America, Europe and Asia as a world war? That happened in the 1700s.

“a third burnt up” — Rev 8:7 says “a third of the land was burnt up” — this is the description of what happened during the Jewish war that led up to the destruction of Jerusalem - the first trumpet, the destruction of the land - the scorched earth policy of the Empire
Refer to the writings of Josephus

“Truly, the very view itself of the country was a melancholy thing; for those places which were before adorned with trees and pleasant gardens were now become a desolate country in every way, and its trees were all cut down. Nor could any foreigner that had formerly seen Judea and the most beautiful suburbs of the city, and now saw it as a desert, but lament and mourn sadly at so great a change... nor if anyone that had known the place before, had come on a sudden to it now, would he have known it again; but though he were standing at the city itself, yet would he have inquired for it notwithstanding”

The wars of the Jews by Josephus book 6 chapter 1
In Rev 9:15 a “third” of men are killed.

The “third” signifies that part of the population was killed - the Roman Tenth Legion, which was stationed beyond the Euphrates
