yes, fair enough point. i certianly am not that much of a literalist when it comes to adam and eve. and i can't find where it says in the bible that
the world is only 6000 years old, but, as you say, each to their own.
i would like to propose to you that the source you quoted regarding rome can equally be applied to the world as it is unfolding at the present. hence
my question - has rome acutally fallen yet?
i saw your sig - i'm not your average conspiratorial antiestablishmentarian. while respecting the authorities that have been instituted on earth, i
think man-made establishments are inevitably flawed and destined for failure on multiple levels, especially when those participating think they can be
perfected.
i believe the prophecy applies to rome just as it applied to babylon, greece, persia and egypt in times past, as it does for any future worldly powers
that claim the same dominion over people's lives and souls. certainly the prophecy has timeless implications because it has significance for people
of all times and ages: I.E., God says, "in your hearts, do not place worldly powers above Me, the Almighty." that's the boiling point.
the story of the tower of babel seems, to me, to be occurring on a grand scale in this day and age. what we call globalisation. it's not a
condemnation of the process per se, but an observation. i was commanded to watch and shout from rooftops. perhaps its just a log in my eye? i'll pray
about it.
anyway, i think it would be a slippery slope to tell people that the book of Revelation has past it's useby date.
just some things to consider. peaceout
