Let me preface this by saying this is just an email I received, and it in no way is meant to say this is my belief... because, honestly, it's NOT!! I have no hatred towards any nationality or religion... (Heck, I grew up as a Jehovahs Witness, I was made fun of enough to think it ok to condemn someone elses beliefs)
And, as I've stated previously (and been flamed for)... I don't even vote, but when I got this email, (from someone obviously for McCain), the part that had me questioning was the book of Revelations...
Can a bible 'know-it-all' tell me if this is partially/taken from the book of Revelations in any way?
Just peeked my curiosity is all.....
