Revelations and the anti-christ
Like this post? Yes | No    

Not much clarity in Revelations,(wink). Hehe, inside joke.
But according to Revelations, there is the "unholy" trinity. The false prophet, the beast, and the serpent. The anti-christ(serpent) is supposed to take over the world with the help of the beast and false prophet. The beast is supposed to enslave the world, and the false prophet is supposed to get the world to follow the beast down to perdition. So how could the anti-christ take over the world without doing it from within the United States? America has the most powerful military in the world. The U.S. war machine budget is $662 billion per year! It takes the next twenty most powerful countries in the world added together to equal what the U.S. spends on the war machine. As for the enslaving the world, a $15 trillion national debt pretty much has enslaved all future generations in this country. Paying off the national debt at $30 billion per month would take about 1,500 years. And all the other countries in the world are going in debt at an astounding rate, if not already bankrupt. And who could fool the world into following the beast besides the media? The media sure fooled the world into following Shrub into the Iraq/Afghan wars. I used to think Raygun was the anti-christ. Then I thought Shrub was. Then a lot thought is was Bin laden. Now they're saying Obama. Who ever the anti-christ is, he's going to have to have access to the biggest war machine in the world.

Chapter 18 of Revelations talks about the city of Babylon being destroyed. The city where all the kings of the world and all the merchants of the world gather together. That city isn't in Iraq, it's where the United Nations and the World Trade Center are. Just a perception.

Plausible perception indeed. Great symbolism in Revelations, really intruiging.

If it had better continuity and a decent plot line, it would make great a CGI animation

it's all a metaphor; the biggest metaphor is how it's a reflection of the collective consciousness of the universe, the smallest is how the external perception of "reality" is a reflection of one's "inner" "reality." the only way to change the world is through learning how to change our own mind. if we think differently, our phenomenal environment will reflect our thinking and develop a corresponding feedback loop.
