The new millinium had no effect on me whatsoever. 9-11, however, was much different. I was in "shock and awe" as I watched the airplanes plow into the towers. The images of that, and soon after, the sight of the towers crumbling down to the ground gave me flashbacks of the "Paradise" book. Then I thought, OK, this is not the Big A, and it is not exactly what the great trib was suppose to be like, but I sort of saw how the 9-11 attack could lead to the UN turning on religion starting with the Muslim extremists. It was also in line with the whole Catholic child molesting scandal. Isreal was also having and still is having sort of a day with the palestinians, so we had the three major religions in the world in crisis. There seemed to be alot of excuses culminating for the UN to turn on the "harlot". But then I took a look at how GW was pushing his "faith based initiatives" and couldn't see how it would be this prez to begin or support the proscess of turning on Babylon the Great.
It is business as usual for the nations now, and in the stream of time, these last few years will soon become nothing more than a notable rift or ripple in our history . . . much like the Battle of Belgrade, or the sacking of Constantinople; all significant turning points in man's history, but hardly the end.
