Well I guess you'll do
Jim, I've always been taught that there will be a revived Roman Empire in this worlds future. Even today at the church I go to it is taught. However I've began to question not in any disrespectful manner mind you. I love my pastor he is a gentle elderly man and a wealth of knowledge but set in his ways. When I ask him about certain scripture and he doesn't have an answer I get the "I guess we'll know when we get to glory"

response. I tell you a revived roman empire doesn't make sense to me and I can't get it out of my mind I think about it continually.
Psalms 83, Joel 2 and 3, I read Ezekiel chapters 38 and 39 Gog (the chief prince) is referenced in these and Revelation. Specific nations and peoples are described here all coming against Israel but nowhere do I see Rome. The statue of gold, brass iron and clay in Daniel how do some see a roman empire in these?
Just rambling because I don't have time right now. I wanted to respond in greater detail today but I find its late again here in Chucktown, SC. Lord willing I can get some time online tomorrow.
