It goes without saying, of course, that the second coming does not logically follow from this. The end of the American dream is not necessarily the same as the end of the world. America is a young country in historical terms and it may have a short future if it doesn't quit with its anti-life mentality but the world existed for a long time before America came on the scene and it may well carry on long after America is a smoking ruin. America could go down in history as a good but somewhat brief experiment which went horribly wrong.
The "Ozymandias" poem springs to mind, here.
Hal has made a fine living as a commentator on present and future events but he has no special gift.
You’re a little off in one of your assumptions. The US would have to be removed as an economic power in order for there to be a world government. This country and the power of it’s dollar was the only thing blocking the progress of the last gentile kingdom predicted by Daniel. Two main things have to be in place for this final scenario to take place.
1) Israel must exist again as a country. (after the better part of 2000 years it does)
2) There must be a government that controls the entire earth so that the antichrist can control the entire world through one seat of power.
How do you suppose the antichrist could cause everyone to not be able to buy or sell without his mark if he doesn’t control the world economy?
What we are saying is that everything is in place for the those end times events to occur but for the fact that the US (one country) has controlled the world economy and didn’t fit into prophecy. If the US is reduced to a level where it must join the New World Order or should it(the US)just simply cease to exist then the picture is complete and the predictions are coming to pass.
It's based on a distorted understanding of Daniel and Revelation.
The US has already joined the "New World Order" (whatever that might be). In fact, it's been in the vanguard of the movement towards secularism, humanism, feminism, nihilism and hedonism for years. The US isn't an obstacle to the forces of evil. It is an active promoter of it. The abortion industry is a fine example.
The idea that the US dollar is all that is restraining the forces of evil is the result of a classically Americo-centric view of the world and it overlooks the role America has played in the decay of traditional morality and the sanctity of human life.
The fine print says we will lose our Sovreignty
He will sign, we must stop it in the Senate (good luck to US on that) because this is one treaty that we can't repeal later.
Ever!
Also, they’ve located the descendants of the Old Testament Levite priests and are in the process of training them to perform the rituals in the about-to-be-rebuilt Temple.
Global governance cannot come about until America is brought down and removed as an obstacle and that is what is in the process of happening.
And it is completely planned and deliberate.
agreed
yep, thanks
“It’s based on a distorted understanding of Daniel and Revelation”
Pray tell, what is the undistorted understanding of these books? Do you believe in an actual end time?
The mark of the beast scenario is not Lindsey/Impe, it is biblical. Revelation 13:16-18
