Don’t worry, as far as I can tell the mideast is always mentioned in the Bible, the US on the other hand, is not.
That usually freaks people out the first time they hear it. It appears to be true though.
Don't read too much into things...
Cheers!
Absolutely correct. It seems self evident that if the Bible is the inerrant word or God (and I believe this to be the case) then either the existence of the USA wasn't forseen or the existence of the USA wasn't important. At all. The words "unforeseen" and "God" are self contradictory. Since a lot of the eschatology in the Bible seems to strongly indicate in many passages that the nations of Russia (USSR?) and China will comprise the end of time armies called in the Bible Gog and Ma-Gog Then it seems likely that the absence of the USA from the books of Revelations, Eziekiel, Isaiah and Daniel aren't a coincidence. That's sort of scary and comforting at the same time. If it would guarantee that Christ would return between the years of 2008 and 2012 I'd vote Democrat. But since that's unlikely (as much as I pray for it everyday) I'll have to hold my nose and go with the GOP.
True, but the attack on the World Trade Center and its aftermath made me recall Rev. 18:2-19.
