To the nightmare of Haiti, the Americans are coming
Follow the link to the article telling about how Americans rush to the rescue, amidst their own trials and tribulations.
But consider the possibility that the bible already told that we are a different kind of nation...
Daniel 7
1. In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed: then he wrote the dream, and told the sum of the matters.
2. Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea.
3. And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another.
vs. 17 and 23 explain that these kings or kingdoms are nations that will arise in the world. Vs 9 shows these are all on the earth at the same time, at the tmeof the end!
4. The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it.
What nation has historically been represented in the press as a lion, cartoon lions to represent this country? England!
Daniel noted this lion had eagles wings that were plucked off, and the eagle was made to stand on its feet like a man, and a man's heart was given to it. What country is normally represented as an eagle? Really?! The USA! We are the only one it is said of that a man's heart was given to it. The USA is not just beast hearted, but has the heart of a man! Daniel witnessed the signing of the Declaration of Independence, symbolically!
5. And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh.
Russia! In 1945 there was one communist nation. Now the whole world is basically socialistic. What is the difference between a Communist and a Socialist? The time they are willing to bring about the same result. Communists use guns to enforce their revolution. Socialists use lawers and courts, and secret deals. Both are equally Red.
6. After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it.
Leopard=Panther. Think Panzer tanks. OK maybe a little stretch, BUT, these nations/kingdoms are represented as beasts. There is one nation/kingdom that has had 4 heads and has been recognizable as a world power as the rest of the beasts in this vision. Germany. Everyone knows about Hitlers 3rd Reich (kingdom). After the falling of the Berlin wall, and the reunification of the two Germanys, we see the healing of the deadly wound (the division of Germany- the separation of one of the heads) and the rise of the "Fourth and richest Reich", a book by Edwin Hartrich. The current Germany is the 4th head.
7. After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.
The WEU- only 10 with voting powers.
8. I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.
9. I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire.
It appears that all these 4 beasts are removed from power at the same time, when Jesus returns to set up his millenial kingdom.
10. A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.
11. I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn spake: I beheld even till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame.
12. As concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away: yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time.
These beasts had their dominion taken away at the 2nd coming of Jesus. But there is yet 1000 years of earth life to live.
13. I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.
Revelation 13
1. And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. (John saw all these beasts becoming ONE AUTHORITY)
2. And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
3. And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. (Did the whole world wonder after the falling of the Berlin wall?)
4. And they worshipped the dragon (Satan) which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? (This World authority the Pope is wanting to empower?) who is able to make war with him?
5. And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
6. And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
7. And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
8. And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
11. And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. (I believe this to be the Pope)
12. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.(United Nations) Remember these heads all belong to one beast now.
13. And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
14. And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
15. And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
16. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17. And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
Boy, can we see how close we are to the end?

Rev.1: 8. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.---Jesus is the Alpha and Omega- the Almighty! Daniel 11:33. And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days.
