This is my first comment here, and it is unusual for me to post a religious comment anywhere, as I am a "Born Again Agnostic". My comment is intentionally vague, as I don't wish to say outright what I'm thinking on this particular topic. Feel free to interpret things as you will.
That is the point of prophecy. For example, Daniel was written before the Greek and Roman empires, yet by God’s Spirit was able to predict them.
Sorry, I just burst out laughing and couldn't really read what you thought of Rev 13.
Just too funny!
And here it is!
White Paper on Islamic Bimetallic Currency
Gold and silver restore social equilibrium
The dinar and the dirham can be the world currency of all free people
Clip:
Headlines for an Implementation Programme:
1. Issuing and minting of dinars and dirhams according to the traditional standard weights and measures.
2. Total freedom to buy, sell and possess any quantity of dinars and dirhams within Islamic Law.
3. Facilitating the transport and transferral of gold for international trading by a network of appointed agencies throughout the world.
4. And finally, changing all paper notes for newly minted dinars and dirhams, and abolition of all paper-money privileges.Issuing and minting of dinars and dirhams according to the traditional standard weights and measures.
The first stage is the minting of the coins according to acceptable standards. Dinars and dirhams have already been minted under the supervision and standards of the World Islamic Trading Organisation and are in circulation in Spain, Germany and South Africa, soon to be followed by Switzerland, England and other Muslim countries

I recommend you print out a hard copy for reference.
Great thanks, MsLady. It seems that everyone else simply assumed it meant what they wanted it to mean. The term was actually applied to me by someone else; but I liked it, and so I use it.
It means that I was/have been an atheist since I was about 12 or 13 yrs old (I’m 39 now); and have in recent years given new thought to the possibility of God’s existence; the importance of religion in the life of a society; and, my own beliefs regarding what is written in the Bible. This self-questioning along these lines has been increasing in speed and intensity in the past 3-4 years. I’m no longer an atheist; but I cannot yet call myself a person of FAITH. I believe and agree with most of what is in the Bible, but have trouble understanding some passages. Maybe I’m congenitally incapable of faith, I don’t quite know.
It means that I’ve used that psuedonym before and I wanted to use it here. When I signed up, the website informed me that someone here was already using that username. I’m Uriel; not this other person using what I like to consider MY pseudonym. I just like the name. That’s all.
YES! But when you write “Born Again Agnostic” I suspect that you’re thinking of me moving in the opposite direction that I mean when I state it. I’m moving toward God, not away. I’m just not there yet.
The Philistines were the “Sea People” who — after a failed attack on Egypt — settled in the southern coast of the Levant/Canaan/Israel. They were Greeks. (I happen to believe that they were the last refugees of the Minoan Civilization.) The Canaanites were native, the Philistines were not.
There are several “beasts” in Revelation. I am speaking specifically about the one in Chapter 13 usually interpreted as a MAN, the Antichrist.
Thanks, topcat.
Thanks, I will. (but I have other books to read first, so it may be a while)
