    Rev 13:3

    One of the heads of the beast seemed to have had a fatal wound, but the fatal wound had been healed. The whole world was filled with wonder and followed the beast.

    Not like his morons read the Bible or anything but it’s right there.

        Yeah yeah yeah he was 8/10 on the general prophecies before, but now you’d really have to be dumb enough to believe the Bible to not see it.

            There are lessons to be learned from the Bible. Religion is certainly about controlling the masses, sure, but control back then wasn’t as self-destructive as it is today.

            Some religions don’t eat pork because pork used to make people sick. Not eating pork was pretty damn good advice at one point in time. The messages about usury are extremely relevant today, and always ignored.

      What are the chances the streak continues? 50/50?

      Then I saw a second beast, coming out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb, but it spoke like a dragon. It exercised all the authority of the first beast on its behalf, and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed. And it performed great signs, even causing fire to come down from heaven to the earth in full view of the people. Because of the signs it was given power to perform on behalf of the first beast, it deceived the inhabitants of the earth. It ordered them to set up an image in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived. The second beast was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed. It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name.

        Yeah I think the author was suffering some ergot poisoning.

        Although raining fire from the sky is called Tuesday when you are president of the US. And predicting a universal banking system seems pretty dull at this point.

          If ATMs end up with a video of Trump and an automatic cop call if you fail to praise Great Leader, I might have to do some theological soul searching.
