Sorry to burst everbody's bubble here: but the 'prophesies' you are all so enamoured with, were in fact written about, and pertaining to, the Roman Empire!
666, The Sign OF The Beast, The Anti-Christ....all of it was written in an historical epoch when the Roman Empire ruled most of the then-known world. 'The Beast' was in fact the Roman Emperor! Same with all the other 'prophesies'. It had nothing to do with the U.N., modern Israel, or anything else today.
Any reputable biblical historian will tell you this
Sorry folks...

Ok while the term antichrist is only refferenced twice the term both Jesus and Daniel used was the son of perdition. Daniel was not reffering to Rome as rome did not yet exist when Daniel wrote of this man. Both John and Daniel were directly referencing the same events and both were reffering to the same events that Jesus, Paul, Ezekial and many other prophets talked about needing to happen before the return of Christ. I could see the rome arguement if John was the only one who reffered to these events as John lived within the original empire. But even John ruled this out in his statement about the 8 empires. He stated 5 had already come and gone the sixth was(rome) the seventh was yet to come and the eighth was a revised version of number 5.

I find it interesting that when some one discusses biblical prophesy they are automatically accused of fear mongering. Yet when some one says alien invasion or an asteroid impact they want it to be considered scientific theory. How hypocrytical, at least prophecy is bound to human history.
see, if you say, I believe this "that this teaching is correct" then you can start anywhere and read into the scriptures what you want. Or, you can let the scriptures say what they REALLY say, and learn that.

also I did a post about the mark of the beast ... the company that produces the chip has a website where you can see how far the chip has come already .. it's very scary
