First thing Monday morning I’m going to find a mad scientist who can totally rearrange my DNA.
Maybe after the top two, they went for notorious. “There is no bad publicity,” right?
My ancestors were basically German with enough Irish thrown in to make the stubborn interesting. So I was told growing up.
My best friend in grade school was a kid whose dad was Irish and Mexican descent and his mom was Mexican and Apache. But I recall a bit where the Irishman prays God would make his enemies his friend and if He could not he asks God to cause his enemy to limp so he could see him coming.
hahaha, I think you and I are related!
You see, their memories don’t got back very far.
What about Parnell?
“And the city I was referring to is ... ??”
...not a mystery to anyone familiar with Dispensational eschatology. With that in mind one needs to consider who was responsible for the destruction of Jerusalem. It’s not entirely clear cut, since the Legions involved were led by Roman generals but the legionnaires themselves were non-Roman auxiliaries. Moreover Josephus writes that Titus ordered that the Temple be spared, but the legionnaires burned it anyway.
If you pick the Romans since they were in charge of the war, you still can’t assume that the future ruler predicted by Daniel would come from the peoples of western Europe. This is because Rome was replaced as the capital of the Empire in AD 330. The west faded and crumbled while the Empire survived in the east for another thousand years. So Daniel’s future leader could rise from the ashes of the Roman Empire and yet belong to an eastern Mediterranean and North African consortium of peoples.
