I don't believe in any religion but if David's interpretation of Nebuchadnezzar's dream of the fall of civilisation is true (as represented by the metal statue of man) - then is it possible that it is the United States? The verse stays that it will be clay and iron (like black and white) but the population will not mix - as black and whites - and some will be strong and others week - as wealth in the USA is controlled overwhelming by the white population - It also says that it will be shortlived, and will be followed by the fall of civilisation (which to me doesn't sound off with the currently pending global economic and environmental crisis) .... scarily enough this is the civilisation with the supposed antichrist. Also, just wondering if the Antichrist could be a metaphor for capitalism and environmental disregard. Fiiiinally - what if the 666 is simply the visa you must have to live here - given on head (by birth) or on hand (you obtain your papers through a legal process)...

You have spent way too much time listening to that nut-job Louis Farrakhan. Dude I grew up in a cult... don't believe all this crap! The real truth is there is one message delivered by many prophets. That one message is Love God and Love Man. Beyond that we are just killing one-another over who delivered the message.

Who is this David you speak of? Certainly not King David in the bible? King David lived centuries before the exhile to Babylon. Perhaps you are talking about Daniel?
The legs of the statue in the dream represented the Roman Empire. There is open speculation to the endtimes and many interpretations can be inferred.
Too many mix literal with metaphorical interpretaions. I believe, basically, that the idea of global control involving buying, selling, and employment is what will give us the clue to the identity of the antichrist.

The bible is like nostradamus' quatrains:They are both written very shady so that people can make thier own interpritations.Your better off leaving the book alone and going outside and enjoying life.

That's very deep the usa may but i doubt is the final civilization. But that is a very interesting perspective you have there.
