My experience of America is shallow to say the least, but I think it safe to say that America sees the world through its own eyes. Patriotism being a major factor. In Europe, patriotism is a long dead icon of empire’s that died in the ashes of the First World War. It survived and still does to a degree, in communists states, past and present, but excepting China and north Korea it is very much in decline elsewhere. People will be placated not through patriotism when the end comes, but through provision. That is the meaning of globalisation, ergo, the absence of state, and the infliction of control through provision, regulation and penalty. The cruelty of end-game patriotism was illustrated by the British empire, not just for its cruelty though, but for its failure. That is largely how globalism came into the fore as the only alternative, and money is it’s maker, not patriotism.

It's a pity that rude people can't be blocked on the forum. As a Christian you don't even have the shadow. I am not trying to mislead, I am just sharing what I have come to discern from my study of the scriptures and my observation of events. However, others prefer to seek oracles that tell them exactly how to interpret the prophecies. They have no critical thinking of their own and apparently no education. For me from this moment you do not exist in the forum. And if you keep insulting me and disrespecting me, the problem will not be yours, but the administrators. They will be responsible for what they consent to.
"The Lord will raise his voice at the head of his army, because his camp is very numerous. He who keeps his word is mighty. The day of the Lord is great and terrifyingly awesome. Who can resist it?" Joel 2:11
"But indeed, for this reason I have allowed you to remain, in order to show you My power and in order to proclaim My name throughout the earth. Still you exalt yourself against My people by not letting them go."
That is another example that God is always in control of everything. If not, how far would his arch enemy go? He logically he would get the victory.
I’m the wrong person to argue prophesy. I have no idea where the army you mention may come from. Clearly were it of an earthly realm, we would know about it and the only one I can think of is NATO. However, there are only so many nuclear bombs one can ignite before the ones sending them suffer the same result as those they are aimed at. I have always assumed that the greatest army is that of the spiritual realm and certainly, it would never need to be seen again. Regardless who ever does what to whom, and how big their army is, is not something I worry about, being a global army or one raised by patriotic people, it will all end the same way. I hope my faith holds out.
Hi Cherry, that is a very interesting scripture you are pointing out. I think it’s also interesting to see the way other translations word this. Here is the Contemporary English version of Joel 2:2:”
@Cherry
I would not be surprised if there was some strange new weapon that emerges as time goes by. The Russians have hinted at it more than once, and the 9/11 tragedy is not without its signature of advanced weaponry. The scriptures on the matter provide the greatest insight as you suggest, with the unusual but dated references they use - have any of us heard chariots leap on mountain tops? I am pretty certain they are not referring to ‘mountain bikes’. As you point out, ‘like’ mighty people, does not necessarily mean mighty people but we can only conjecture what it might be. The only likeness that I can think of and that may have already been used to great effect, and that may produce such a sound would likely be an energy weapon. They already exist.
I agree that Joel 2 is referring to the final manifestation of the King of the North aka the northerner. But what I am just now “computing” is the fact that in chapter 2 it describes an ”army” that perhaps is not a human army because of the description, such as its being unique, “Never before has there been one like it, And never again will there be another Through the years of all generations“. Nothing escapes from it. It has the appearance of horses and runs “like” warhorses. It has a sound “like” chariots as they leap on the mountaintops and it also sounds “like” the crackling of blazing fire. It is described as being “like” a mighty people but it is not outright called mighty people. This army charges “like” warriors, they scale a wall ”like” soldiers and they stay their course without swerving. They don’t shove one another and if they fall from “weapons” the others do not break ranks. In human terms do you know any soldier who doesn’t stop to render aid to a fallen fellow soldier? They are also described as rushing into the city and running on the wall, climbing onto houses, through windows like a thief. “Before them the land trembles and the heavens rock”. Then the chapter talks about Jehovah imploring his people to return to him and he will bless them and he will drive the northerner away from them. Anyway, I am just now really focusing in on this particular chapter and the way it is worded.
The copper, silver and gold are emblematic of empires. I think it highly improbable to attribute the iron and clay to sociological aspects of modern day geopolitics? No the Iron and clay represent two modern day opposing systems the U.S.A & Brittania! Dan 11:26 talks of the two kings (iron and clay) also the two horns sitting at one table deceiving one another.....the KOTS eventual demise is by the ones eating his delicacies......The demise of the North is by the stone hewn not by hand and we know who this is...Christ and Zion!
And attitudes will likely change after the horsemen ride.
I agree with military force but I also think it looks to me like military operations more and more rely on drones or drone like machinery or robots rather than people. But it could be some other type of technology. I just think it appears it will be non-human perhaps along with human, like a drone. But we will see.
My monies on the white horse.
