I interpret the bible in a different way than you do it is an instruction manual on how to properly manage the planet and insure that all mankind has their basic needs met automatically. No lines on the map, learn war no more, no dividing the land, no moneychangers, gamblers, profitiers and salesman in the kingdom is the message. The U.S. promotes and encourages all of those prohibited professions and activities which is why pollution and war and waste is on the wide road they travel. The thread is about if the U.S. will survive bible prophecy and I say they are the beast that gets the Messiah's foot on thier head.
