The Apocalyptic Beheaders

Anyone who knows that much about future insurgency targets in Iraq and Israel should probably be investigated by Homeland Security.

I think that generally when people talk about the role of Britain in the establishment of Israel they mean the Balfour declaration of 1917 and other events and attitudes of that time rather than our actions in the aftermath of WWII.

From the home page of Satan's Rapture: Do you think we should have an EvC sweepstake on who it will be?

• Bin Laden
• President of Iran (can't spell his name )
• The Pope
• Prince Charles
• President Bush
• Tony Blair
• Rupert Murdoch
• George Steinbrenner
• Marilyn Manson
• Silvio Burlosconi
• Donald Rumsfeld
• etc. etc.

My money is on either the Pope or Dubya. Well, that's who I think Pastor Harry will name - the actual AntiChrist is obviously Rupert Murdoch...

Agreed. But I think it's often forgotten that Britain, after the extent of the immigration that ensued became evident, had very real concerns as to the long term implications. It also must be remembered, given the context of this discussion, that British society itself (and the attitudes of its governments) underwent a sea change over those years.

The difference is that we're talking modern latter day stuff and that the violence related to the history of Vatican City was not sanctioned by the fundamentals of the New Testament whereas the violence of Jehad is sanctioned by the fundamentals of the Quran, the Hadith and the Saunas.

This is disingenuous since it is common knowledge that fundamantalist Christianity draws copiously from the OT. New Testament or Old Testament, sanctioned by the Papacy or otherwise my point stands. The whole point about fundamentalism it that is uses whatever scripture is available to it as justification for extreme positions.With regard to the ultimate nature of Fundamentalism, I see little difference between Christian and Islamic versions. I would, however, argue that the current wave of violence by Islamic fundamentalists is given an extra boost by war, poverty and ignorance. Were the social conditions right, one would see the same types of behavior from hardline Christians.If, in some parallel universe, America was invaded and occupied by an Islamic power, how long do you think it would take for a Christian militia to arise somewhere?This message has been edited by rjb, 04-19-2006 12:54 PM

I agree with your thought on beheading. This is an ever increasing way of handling any non Muslim by extreme Muslims,especialy if you are Jewish or Christian. We do see beheading of the ones not taking the mark in "The Revelation" chapter 20. When you study chapter 13:11-18 you will realize there is a figurtive beast with two horns like a lamb and a voice like a dragon. As we study in chapter 17, we find that horns equal kings. Our promise is, these two horns of chapter 13 are two kings. This last king is the one to make mankind take a mark. This last king is a false prophet that deceives the whole world and if you do not take this mark, reread Revelation 20, you will be beheaded. One extremely important point. In Matt. 24 Christ tells us when all nations have heard his message, then the end will come. We are possibly within fiftheen years of this. Alot of events are about to happen.
