That thing so many fear that they call the end of the world,which is really only the end for those who view themselves as Powerful as God.
A lot of people seem to think that God is a cruel entity because he allows things to hapen here the way they do,but in truth,these things happen because of those who view themselves a gods,because of the power which they wield for their own gain,at everyone elses expense.
Somehow these forces have turned things upside down,to make the people view them as righteous and good and fair,when very few of them actually are.
Seems like a cruel joke,but it won't change until a lot of people wake up,the joke is on us until then,and "they" are laughing.
It's all covered in the scriptures of almost every faith that exists.
It is up to each one of us to interpret it the way we see it,but then it is not up for interpretation beyond a point.
Sometimes I don't know what to think of it all.
Where one spends their eternity is a direct result of their works,regardless of whether they realise they are involved in something,it is our responsibility to be sure that our efforts result in something that is good for all,however insignificant that thing we do may be .
Peace be with you.

Firstly, 2Esdras isn't in the bible. It's among the apocrypha/pseudigraphia (sp?) of the Tannakh.
Well, why isn't it included in the Bible and why is it in mine?
The eagle isn't USA, but the Roman Empire. He says specifically that the eagle is the fourth beast of Daniel. And Nebucadnezzar, Cyrus and Alexander the Great fulfilled the three former. The next world empire that came about was the Roman Empire, and through their false prophet the Pope, they have spread all over the world influencing the world to become enemies of Jesus through disobeying and scorning his Law and teachings categorically throughout history.
Doesn't this sound like the US?
If you're looking for referances to USA in the Bible, perhaps this one is better:
America seems to be Egypt prophetically, my remark.
Hmmm. That also could be true. Maybe America is the combination of Rome AND Eygpt being that it the strongest power on the planet. Could you go into this a bit more?
Or what about this one from the Song of Solomon:
So 8:8�"We have a little sister, And she has no breasts (Twin Towers? Read on); What shall we do for our sister On the day when she is spoken for? 9�"If she is a wall, We will build on her a battlement of silver; But if she is a door, We will barricade her with planks of cedar." 10�"I was a wall, and my breasts were like towers (!!!); Then I became in his eyes as one who finds peace (Jerusalem means Teacher of Peace
The two breasts here are probably the two schools within Judaism: Juda and Israel. They have among other things one Creational story each. I don't remember which belongs to whom, but Genesis 1 "belongs" to one of the schools and Genesis 2 "belongs" to the other. If you look closely they seem diametrical oposite from eachother. This may be the symbology of the star of David which some claim is the mark of the beast due to it's geometry and how it resembles the turningpoints (or whatever) of planet Saturn which is connected to Ba'al. But if this is the mark of the beast, the clock you have on your left (!) hand is such a mark. But this is pure folly, I believe. The mark of the Beast is Sunday worship and false Passover celebration. The Sabbath and Passover are God's mark on every believer's forehead and right hand. Study the Torah and you'll see this pretty quick if you keep your eyes open.
Blessings,

And a child of God is a god.

One interpretation, I guess.
But if you read Genesis again you will see that God was referring to man being like him only in the way that we could now recognise good and evil. A similarity to God does not make you a god.
Adam and Eve were thrown out of the Garden of Eden to keep them away from the Tree of Life - the fruit of which supposedly gave immortality.
You are on dangerous ground if you believe that you are a god. Gods are worshipped. Self-worship is not good. I believe that it is possible to believe that you are a child of God but in no way does this make you like him - just as a caterpillar is in no way a butterfly.

Well, you've accused me of being ignorant on the basis of YOUR beliefs.
Hello pot. This is kettle.
By the way, check where I quoted you? I'm pretty sure that you in any man's language you have stated that we are gods because we are children of God. Oh yes. You did. Exactly.
Then you go harping on about how all other gods are Ba'als.
Hmmm. Logic?

Some people thing the last book in the NT, Revelation, prophecized the downfall of the Roman Empire. The Roman empire fell but without all the extreme craziness the story tells. The US is the modern day Rome so maybe Revelation is about the US's down fall.
I found some scripture that says we should smoke/burn weed, I find much more interesting than the apocolypse.
Mathew 30 "Let both grow until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weed and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn."

Suffice to say, you accuse others without knowing. That in itself is ignorance.
