Wherever you see this form of control being trumpeted by a government, you've found a government which has been or is in the process of being overtaken by the Beast Kingdom. It's not a coincidence that the Beast's color is red and that Communism's color is red. Here's an easy overview of many of them.<br><br>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_socialist_countries<br><br>The United States hasn't declared itself socialist yet, but we all can see many tendencies moving us in that direction.noblenarcissisthttp://noblenarcissist.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1342380624800894371.post-87425836040149572092012-05-31T11:11:08.514-07:002012-05-31T11:11:08.514-07:00Lately, I guess for the past few weeks or so, I ha...Lately, I guess for the past few weeks or so, I have reading Revelation 13 over and over almost every morning when I get before I read anything else. Finally, discovering Pure Mormonism and decide to start reading it, (instead thinking it just another apostate blog against the Church)my mind has open up with more understanding that I couldn't see before due to my own prejudices.<br><br>With Dewey thoughts of Revelation 13 and the book of Daniel gave more insights than any other commentaries I have read.

We may find them difficult to grasp, and we may have been subject to some false starts, but I believe those prophecies do mean SOMETHING after all, and we would do well to give the book of Daniel some of our attention, rather than ignore it because some theories on its meaning have proven untenable.<br><br>What I find credible about Dewey's interpretation is that it seems consistent with what we see about us, not only in the world, but as it pertains to the popular misconception regarding the church vis a vis the Kingdom of God. <br><br>Further, I appreciate that Dewey does not adamantly insist that others accept his views; rather he takes the position of "let's wait and see." What dewey offers is, to quote Dave Emory, "food for thought and grounds for further research." He does not require the reader to accept his opinion and forsake all others. He puts his thoughts out there, and you can take 'em or leave 'em.<br><br>At any rate, I would hope anyone finding this chapter to be a sticking point will reserve judgment until after reading the rest of the work. There are six more chapters to go, and they are all chock full of food for thought.Alan Rock Watermanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04971243364867111868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1342380624800894371.post-87787411461769225712011-12-06T09:16:20.603-08:002011-12-06T09:16:20.603-08:00Sadly, I agree with Brokenbyclouds and go one furt...Sadly, I agree with Brokenbyclouds and go one further in saying that I have no faith in any of the words of so called scripture.

Nothing turns me off more than people trying to interpret some of the most subjective scripture available. I feel it weakens the otherwise solid material.Brokenbycloudshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06219699453952795992noreply@blogger.com
