666

OK.... at this point, it is pretty apparent that we (meaning Dubya's Strike Force) are going to be taking a much needed rest break in Iran. I have studied the portents, and I truly believe that Dubya's TRUE mission is this: He is trying to hasten Armageddon.

As a born-again agnostic, it is difficult for me to wrap my brain around such a world view, but Dubya sees himself as some force for good in the world, and he truly believes that sometime soon Jesus Christ is literally going to split the sky and come back to gather up the faithful, after which there will be a war to end all wars, with blood flowing "up to the horses' bridles," along with countless other Cecil B. DeMille meets Wes Craven scary stuff. Dubya seems to have cast himself in the role of orchestrator of these events, and his fiddling around in the Middle East is his way of hastening that day.

But does it strike anyone as a trifle unsettling that he seems to have cast himself in the role of the Antichrist, a la THE OMEN? Beyond his general ignorance and Hitleresque posturing, he is clearly a megalomaniac to the Nth power, and is trying to conduct events that--granting their literal biblical truth--are so far beyond his limited intellectual ken that it's like a grasshopper writing a dissertation on Shakespeare.

Travel with me down this path for just a moment. The Bible is the inerrant, literal word of God. All the prophecy that has not yet been fulfilled is due to be fulfilled "soon." Given these assertions, and assuming that Dubya lacks the qualities to be the TRUE Antichrist (traits like intellect, charisma, Satan for a daddy, etc.) isn't he playing a dangerous game, trying to force the hand of God Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, the great I AM, the Alpha and Omega? One can only hope that God will sit up, notice what is going on, and swat Dubya and his crew of puppetmasters like the unsightly little flies they are.

...on the other hand, if Dubya really *IS* the Antichrist, boys and girls, we are in a world of trouble and better hasten our getting right with Jesus, since no one knows the day or the hour.
