does America's war with Iraq mean the beginning of global tyranny?
I am a deeply religious Christian, and I absorb information and news like a vacuum cleaner and read my Bible every day. When the twin towers of the World Trade Center were destroyed by terrorism, a lot of Christians on this side of the Atlantic felt the need to know if that act was prophesized, and some believed it was the fall of Babylon mentioned in Revelation. But being a student of many forms of prophecy, from the Mayans, the Bible, astrology, Nostrodamus, ancient Egyptian to native American, one of the key elements to prophecy -- I think -- is that it is sometimes recognized in hindsight. That is, we often do not realize that prophecy is taking place until it has happened. Only then do we connect events with prophecy, and we seldom observe an occasion when a precise moment is given for prophecy to occur. I did not for an instant believe the tragedy of the World Trade Center was a part of biblical prophecy, but a symptom of a world in moral decay.

Many Christians at least here in the United States believe the United Nations is the Anti-Christ mentioned in Revelation, but I have long doubted this theory. And I question the role many Americans believe our great nation will play in the Middle East in the End Times.

Their claims are extremely complex and it would take many articles for me to demonstrate their point. The power of over 100 Jewish lobbying groups in this country and their grip on free speech prevents the truth from being told. However, I
