    Radical Islam *aspires* to that, but it's a million miles from achieving it. They have a lot of rhetoric and a fair few weapons (it would *really help* if the Great Powers would cease pumping them into that region), but they are a tiny fraction of all Islam, and all Islam is less than 1/4 of world population. It's not going to happen.

    Answer: Camp David is the country retreat of the President of the United States. It is located in Catoctin Mountain Park in Frederick County, Maryland. It is officially known as Naval Support Facility Thurmont and because it is technically a military installation, staffing is primarily provided by the U.S. Navy and the U.S. Marine Corps. The retreat, which comprises a scenic mountainous area of 200 acres, is surrounded by maximum-security fencing and is closed to the public. I can't believe I picked Virginia!!!! (:

    I'll go with Irving too. Answer: Irving Berlin was an American composer and lyricist, widely considered one of the greatest songwriters in American history. During his 60-year career he wrote an estimated 1,500 songs, including the scores for 19 Broadway shows and 18 Hollywood films. Many songs became popular themes and anthems, including "White Christmas", "There's No Business Like Show Business", and "God Bless America." Berlin wrote the patriotic song "God Bless America" in 1918 while serving in the U.S. Army at Camp Upton in Yaphank, New York.

    According to Pew Research and Wikipedia, as of July there were over 1.6 billion Muslims in the world Compared to an estimated 2.2 billion Christians. You're correct; they DO make up less than 1/4 of the world's population - like 23%. Christians currently make up 31% of the world's population. Let's say that radical Islam makes up that tiny fraction Muslims as you claim. Let's say only 2% (Pew Research claims it's more like 20% - 30% that desire Sharia to be the law of the land; which means killing or blackmailing Christians and Jews - which to me is "radical"). Two percent of 1.6 billion people is 32 million people. Do you really consider 32 million to be a "small" number? Let's say that only 250,000 motivated organized Muslims are in the Western Europe and the U.S. You don't think that's enough to destabilize those areas? Add to that the fact that the population of Islam is predicted by Pew to increase by over 70% between 2010 and 2050 (an estimated population of over 2.7 billion people by 2050), while Christianity is only growing by 35% in the same time frame (an estimated 3 billion people by 2050). That will make the numbers of Christians and Muslims in the world about equal by then. Islam is the only major religion in the world that has specifically targeted Christians and Jews for destruction. Think I'm overreacting? Read the Q'ran before you say that.

    Are the three Angels' Messages Dead or Alive?

    There are a number of different groups and/or people on the Internet who have made the same prediction as HCH in regard to the Popes and the Presidents. No, I have neither the time nor the interest in documenting my statement. But, it is true. HCH is clearly not the first to make such predictions. Some of these people have been around long enough tor their prediction as to a pope tail and have a pope be replaced by another when they said the X was the last in world history.

    Are the three Angels' Messages Dead or Alive?

    JoeMo, I researched it some more. They do say that they predicted the resignation of Pope Benedict before he resigned, so I am not the only one. But they did not use Bible prophecy to come to that understanding and they have not mention of President Obama's role in endtime events. In fact they have some strange connection to aliens and the supernatural world. For every truth there is a counterfeit.

    Are the three Angels' Messages Dead or Alive?

    Just because this century has more sophistication as well as capacity for selling to one's own benefit, doesn't mean a loving God has decided we have no need for those closest to him, such as the prophets, to aid His faulty children in more recent years, Especially when taking this into consideration. …29I know that after my departure, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock. 30Even from your own number, men will rise up and distort the truth to draw away disciples after them. 31Therefore be alert and remember that for three years I never stopped warning each of you night and day with tears.… Acts 4 BTW this below may prove to be of interest, especially as one sees the day approaching. http://arstechnica.com/science/2016/09/scholars-use-x-rays-to-read-ancient-biblical-text-for-the-first-time/ …24And let us consider how to spur one another on to love and good deeds. 25Let us not neglect meeting together, as some have made a habit, but let us encourage one another, and all the more as you see the Day approaching. ..Hebrews 10 God is Love!~Jesus saves! …

    BJK Answer: On September 20, 1973, women’s tennis star Billie Jean King faced off against Bobby Riggs in an exhibition match dubbed the “Battle of the Sexes.” Riggs, a former Wimbledon champion, believed he could still beat any woman player, and King took him up on the challenge. The match was seen by an estimated 90 million television viewers around the world. Billie Jean King soundly defeated Bobby Riggs in the much-touted Battle of the Sexes tennis match defeating him, 6–4, 6–3, 6–3 in front of more than 30,000 fans at the Houston Astrodome.

    It's a no-brainer as to how my State will vote. Until the electoral college is booted out and everyone's vote actually counts, how I vote really doesn't make any difference in the presidential election votes from my State.. If I don't think either the Dem or Rep candidates on the ballot are worth voting for (which is what I think), and if my vote doesn't matter (which it doesn't), then I'll probably do a protest vote.

    Well we're going to find out! D. She used letters in the boys' names. Sorry, Lance. Timberlake's mom used the last letters of (most of) the boys' first names - Justin, Chris, Joey and JC - to fashion the name. Source: various web sites.

    Where is Armaggedon

    At the end of this age, "the ten kings will hate the harlot and burn her with fire". Sounds like a BATTLE to me. If "the harlot" is indeed Jerusalem - that would LOCATE this battle at that city. That would FIT verse 14. The demons ("unclean spirits") deceive the "kings of the earth and of the whole world" to gather them to this Battle.

    God understands that we each carry a worldview that our own individual experiences.education,peer.family,church,politics,sexuality and the uncountable variables that form our unique perceptions. And but of course we will shape our end time scenarios and theology into it. God understands us. Whether the enemy perceived is Republican or the Democrat.. right or left .. or straight or gay ..or plain or just Glamorous/Fabulous.. ..Theee WorlD will follow the beast. Not just Californication or Murica .. the World! (people/groups/politics/region/ect mostly not western/USA ideas) THE WORLD! No person is your Real Enemy that we Christians should be fighting no group no sect no club no stereotype They are all God's beloved. # we Battle not with flesh and blood
