Actually, it's fun to play the Biblical prophecy game...remember it can be
played from either side! For instance...
Rev 13:3
And I saw one of his heads as though it had been smitten unto death; and
his death-stroke was healed: and the whole earth wondered after the beast;
The US and economy as a result of 9/11/01.
13:4 and they worshipped the dragon, because he gave his authority unto the
beast; and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast?
And who is able to war with him?
Self-explanatory, no? The people of the world worship power, which is given
to the US.
13:5 and there was given to him a mouth speaking great things and
blasphemies; and there was given to him authority to continue forty and two
months. 13:6 And he opened his mouth for blasphemies against God, to
blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, even them that dwell in the heaven.
The US is allowed to run amok for a while, and of course might makes
right, so US leaders interpret this as proof of our special divine
status.
13:7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome
them: and there was given to him authority over every tribe and people and
tongue and nation.
Obviously a reference to the Cypherpunks (except Tim May..he ain't no
saint by any stretch of the imagination!).
13:8 And all that dwell on the earth shall worship him, every one whose
name hath not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of
life of the Lamb that hath been slain. 13:9 If any man hath an ear, let him
hear.
Humm...I wonder if this book is encrypted?

This whole rapture bit always amused me.
Rapture isn't even mentioned in the Bible. It's all based on TWO
(count'em TWO) verses in the New Testament.
Mathew Chapter 24 vs 40 41
(40) Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other
left.
(41) Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and
the
other left.
That's it.
And out of this (and the book of Revelations, which is about 10-12 pages
WITH
footnotes) we get what, 10 (No, 11!, there's another coming out in April !)
books in the Left Behind Series.
I've read a few chapters and decided I liked Stephen King's, The Stand
better.
