America at 250: Is the Dragon Already Here? | EP 24 unScripted

[phkrause]

America is turning 250 — and Bible prophecy has something to say about it. Shawn Boonstra and Jonathan Walter dig into the one question every Adventist is asking: Is the United States of Revelation 13 — the "lamb-like" beast — already speaking like a dragon? They trace where the American republic actually came from (it's not what you think), why Shawn believes it was genuinely lamb-like in conception, and what's happening right now that points unmistakably toward a Revelation 13 showdown. Plus: there's a clause buried in the U.S. Constitution that most Americans have never noticed — and Shawn thinks it's the most prophetically significant sentence in the document. Then: How do you reach almost 2 billion secular people who want nothing to do with religion? The answer might not be what you expect. Dwight Nelson — "Is the U.S. Blessed or Condemned?": https://adventistreview.org/church-li... (Available: July 4) Jonathan Contero on reaching secular people: https://adventistreview.org/lifestyle... (Available: July 5)
