16] And the ten horns that you saw, they and the beast will hate the harlot; they will make her desolate and naked, and devour her flesh and burn her up with fire,
[17] for God has put it into their hearts to carry out his purpose by being of one mind and giving over their royal power to the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
[18] And the woman that you saw is the great city which has dominion over the kings of the earth."

Now I'm no bible scholar, but if the "beast" represents Europe, then the harlot that is riding that beast and is subsequently eaten by that beast.....

Sure seems to resemble us, as in US.

Hmmm....

Thanks for making me browse through the good bood. I don't do it nearly as much as I should.

Regards,

Ron

The Holy Qur'an
[Al-Imran 3:14.20] Beautified for mankind is love of the joys (that come) from women and offspring; and stored-up heaps of gold and silver, and horses branded (with their mark), and cattle and land. That is comfort of the life of the world. Allah! With Him is a more excellent abode.

[al-Kahf 18:31.22] As for such, theirs will be Gardens of Eden, wherein rivers flow beneath them; therein they will be given armlets of gold and will wear green robes of finest silk and gold embroidery, reclining upon throne therein. Blest the reward, and fair the resting-place!

Book of Morman
"1 Nephi 18:22":     22 And it came to pass that I, Nephi, did guide the ship, that we sailed again towards the promised land.

"1 Nephi 18:23":     23 And it came to pass that after we had sailed for the space of many days we did arrive at the promised land; and we went forth upon the land, and did pitch our tents; and we did call it the promised land.

"1 Nephi 18:24":     24 And it came to pass that we did begin to till the earth, and we began to plant seeds; yea, we did put all our seeds into the earth, which we had brought from the land of Jerusalem. And it came to pass that they did grow exceedingly; wherefore, we were blessed in abundance.

"1 Nephi 18:25":     25 And it came to pass that we did find upon the land of promise, as we journeyed in the wilderness, that there were beasts in the forests of every kind, both the cow and the ox, and the ass and the horse, and the goat and the wild goat, and all manner of wild animals, which were for the use of men. And we did find all manner of ore, both of gold, and of silver, and of copper.

Don't you hate it when someone quotes "their" religion to prove a social, political, or economic point?
