Bumper Sticker Help: George Bush and The Apocalypse
Edited on Tue Apr-05-05 03:39 PM by IanDB1
I'm working on a bumper sticker idea:

"Bush Wants to Lose"

I'm trying to find a specific biblical verse (most likely in Revelation) that explicitly illustrates The Antichrist wants to trigger The War of The Apocalypse.

So, the final version would read:
Bush Wants to Lose
Rev. X:yy-zz

Or perhaps:
You Don't Get it-
Bush WANTS to Lose
Rev. X:yy-zz

Research help:

Thanks!

1. A bit off topic but it shows how they operate. Letter to Bush.
Edited on Tue Apr-05-05 03:42 PM by Guckert
Dear President Bush,

Thank you for doing so much to educate people
regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from
you and understand why you would propose and support a constitutional amendment banning same sex marriage. As you said "in the eyes of God marriage is based between a man a woman." I try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can.
When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle,
for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus
18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination... End of
debate.

I do need some advice from you, however, regarding
some other elements of God's Laws and how to follow
them.

1. Leviticus 25:44 states that I may possess slaves,
both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring
nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to
Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why
can't I own Canadians?

2. I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as
sanctioned in Exodus 21: 7. In this day and age, what
do you think a fair price for her would be?

3. I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman
while she is in her period of menstrual uncleanness
(Lev.15: 19-24.) The problem is how do I tell? I have
tried asking, but most women take offense.

4. When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I
know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord
(Lev.1: 9.) The problem is my neighbors. They claim the
odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?

5. I have a neighbor who insists on working on the
Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put
to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself,
or should I ask the police to do it?

6. A friend of mine feels that even though eating
shellfish is an abomination (Lev. 11:10 ), it is a
lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don't agree.
Can you settle this? Are there 'degrees' of
abomination?

7. Lev.21:20 states that I may not approach the altar
of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit
that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be
20/20, or is there some wiggle-room here?

8. Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed,
including the hair around their temples, even though
this is expressly forbidden by Lev.19:27. How should
they die?

9. I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a
dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play
football if I wear gloves?

10. My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev.19:19 by
planting two different crops in the same field, as
does his wife by wearing garments made of two
different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He
also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really
necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the
whole town together to stone them? (Lev.24:10-16)
Couldn't we just burn them to death at a private
family affair, like we do with people who sleep with
their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14)

I know you have studied these things extensively and
thus enjoy considerable expertise in such matters, so
I am confident you can help. Since you are going to be at the Vatican you could maybe ask around about these questions if your divine knowledge is lacking.

3. Can't think of one off-hand but the Futurist view seems to fit
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_Revelation

The Futurist View

The futurist view assigns all of the prophecy to some future time, shortly before the second coming. Futurist interpretations generally predict a 3 1/2 year period of intense persecution, after (or before) which the "Antichrist" (An incarnation of Satan) proclaims himself the Messiah and sets up a kingdom in Jerusalem, from which he conducts a campaign to take over the world and stamp out Christianity. Some variants of this interpretation portray Israeli Jews as collaborators with the Antichrist; Pat Robertson was sharply criticized for actually stating that "The Antichrist is probably a Jew alive in Israel today."

The futurist view, as such, was first proposed by two Catholic writers, Lacunza and Ribera. Lacunza wrote under the pen name "Ben Ezra", and his work was banned by the Catholic church. It has grown in popularity in the 19th and 20th centuries, so that today it is probably most readily recognized. Books about the "rapture" by authors like Hal Lindsey, and the more recent Left Behind novels (by Jerry Jenkins and Tim LaHaye) and movies, have done much to popularize this school of thought.

The Rastafarians hold a futurist view of the book of Revelation, relating it both to 20th century events such as the crowning of Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie and the Second Italo-Ethiopian War, and also to future events such as the supposed second coming of Selassie on the supposed day of judgement.



The Propagandist would fit this mold. He's actually doing a good job of stamping out Christianity as his actions are leading to more criticism being leveled at Christianity.

4. Here you go...Rev. 17:17
17For God has put it into their hearts to accomplish his purpose by agreeing to give the beast their power to rule, until God's words are fulfilled.
