Mt. 7: 13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Has anything changes to indicate that Jesus' words no longer apply? Do they worship the beast strictly out of fear? ----- Does it matter? See scripture reference above. What about America's current financial woes? How can she remain so strong to threaten the entire world if we are about to have a financial calamity, which is likely? ----- Perhaps that's all the reason our leaders(in a secular sense) need to wage war. James 4: 1 ¶ From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members? 2 Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. 3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. 4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. That last verse should make one question the lie of the "American Dream" shouldn't it? If the antichrist comes from Babylon, who is it? ----- Just another question to be answered in due time. Who destroys Babylon in an hour? ---- Just another question to be answered in due time. Bush has been pretty explicit about his acceptance of Jesus. ----- Many "Christians" have done the same. Mt.7:Mt 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? It is hard to imagine that behind closed doors he snickers at the "stupid Christians". If this is the deception, I can see him simply being fooled into believing he is "called by God" to take over the whole world in the name of Democracy, God, and Safety from Terrorists. But then, is there enough financial strength to do this? ---- We wouldn't be the first country to go BK through too many wars. FWIW, China seems like it is gaing strength at a breakneck speed. The previous answers are not in depth, but I think you'll get where I am coming from.
