BibleOnly Posted December 18, 2011 Posted December 18, 2011 This view is based on the incorrect view that Rome collapsed due to it's own corruption, and the desire of humans to find patterns where they do not exist. The US is nothing like Rome, although it is an empire built on conquest.
jasd Posted December 18, 2011 Posted December 18, 2011 >>This view is based on the incorrect view that Rome collapsed due to it's own corruption,<< And this view is based on a non-sequitur, as one fails to find any reference to a “collapse” due to any this, that, or other “corruption”. >>and the desire of humans to find patterns where they do not exist.<< One, seeking to apprehend a denouement to a matter, first compiles; and Ten will always be Ten – no matter where it is found. >>The US is nothing like Rome,<< So, one then assumes, upon the above statement, that Babylon had a Senate, as did Greece, and following – Persia?—mebbe the Germanes?—Napoleonic France?—etc. >>although it is an empire built on conquest.<< The above is probably a superfluous statement, as Empires do presume conquest of one sort or another.
BibleOnly Posted December 18, 2011 Posted December 18, 2011 "and Ten will always be Ten – no matter where it is found." Not sure what this means, is this a bizarre reference to the 10 commandments ? Or the 10 hills in Revelation ? "So, one then assumes, upon the above statement, that Babylon had a Senate, as did Greece, and following – Persia?—mebbe the Germanes?—Napoleonic France?—etc." The similarities are superficial, although they are deliberate, for all that. "The above is probably a superfluous statement, as Empires do presume conquest of one sort or another." Yes, it is somewhat of a tautology, but, I made it to be clear in my meaning

My above quote addressed your clause: Quote: Quote:BiblOnlyand the desire of humans to find patterns where they do not exist. ...as, I recall, we were speaking of Ten Sectors/Regions. I cannot imagine how you were compelled to drag a reference to the “10 commandments” into the equation – per the following...
