Shalom!
^ Last time I wrote about the influence of the Roman Catholic Church in Europe. The development of similar influences in the United States is now being discussed. More and more connections can be noticed between them two.
Prayers of them who have long white linen robes (Rev. 3:5; 3:18; 4:4; 7:14; 16:15; 19:14), Bert
¤ I continue with the second beast. I'm going to provide evidence that the United States and this beast are one and the same thing. Later I will deal with when and in what way it becomes the seventh head of the first beast {Rev. 12:13 (6k§6(8)10)}, Rev. 13:12, <And it [the second beast] exercised all the authority of the first beast and caused the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose mortal wound had been healed.>
The United States and its presidents have been a Protestant state since the beginning. However, at an increasing rate, it has begun to consult the represents of the sixth head of the first beast, the popes of Rome.
¤ Since president Eisenhower's visit in 1959, every subsequent president has visited the pope. In addition, John F. Kennedy was the first Roman Catholic president in the 1960s. And in 1984, the United States established full diplomatic relations with the Vatican City.
Kennedy knew, that Protestant Americans did not want to vote for him because of his religion. That is why he had promised to leave it outside his politics. On the other hand, Biden was the second Catholic president who had a very free understanding of his religion. Openly he used Roman Catholic greetings and concepts.
¤ With regard to the State of Israel, there is a big difference in attitude between former president Trump and the other last presidents of the USA. Trump somehow acknowledged Israel’s right to exist in areas it once conquered in wars, because it was attacked and threatened with destruction. This recognizing is normal and based on international law.
However, Trump as president also wanted to visit the pope, as he did with his family in 2017. Thus, the United States and its people have come ready to agree on all kinds of anti-Christian solutions.

¤ Rev. 13:13, <And it [the second beast] performed great signs to cause even fire from heaven to come down to earth in the presence of the people.>
As a state, the USA has been a pioneer in the development of modern weapons. For example since World War II, it has been the world’s highest developed state. It fulfills the best of all the states in the world this verse.
