As for Rev 14:6-12 and its supposed opposite Rev 14:14, it involves the usual flying angels, enraged gawd, and beast marks. At least it mentions fornication, but it doesn't get into details, damnit. Definitely not a page worth dogearing. Oh, and no witches gathering brushwood to be seen, natch. |

The three angels that fly through midhaeaven boast about their ability to soar and tell us what to do (honor God, give him glory, judgement is coming etc.). The second 6 is "The whore of Babylon is fallen," and the third six is the smoke of their torment and unfailing desire to preach the gospel to others. The KJV has changed "midheaven" to "midst of heaven." Verse 13 refers to heaven instead of midheaven and midheaven is half way between heaven and earth, i.e. one leg in heaven and one on earth. "The wine of Gods wrath" is opposite to "the wedding in Cana" and "full strength" speaks to the degree of their torment. |

Next question, should the USA be proud of them and should they run the country? |

Dear Amos,
It is a very good thing for you that you didn't live in or near Salem, Massachusetts Bay Colony in the late 1690's. If one of pastors had read anything you just wrote, you defintely would have found yourself on Gallows Hill. |

Do not forget that your catholic church killed a witch or two in its day. That makes them murderers too. Anyone who was executed for witchcraft was essentially murdered. You religious are such killers. |

In nomine Patri et Filii et Spiriti Sancti abeo.
Wonder what demons I raised with that one? |
