Revelation 13:4

… At the same time, the Great War (World War I), as it was then called, opened the way for the United States to emerge distinctly as part of the Anglo-American World Power. For the first years of the war, public opinion keep the United States out of the conflict. But as historian Esme Wingfield-Stratford wrote; “it was all a question of whether, at this hour of supreme crisis, Britain and the United States would sink their differences in the realization of (their) overmastering unity and common trusteeship.” As events turned out, they did. In 1917, the United States contributed her resources and manpower to bolster the war effort of the staggering Allies. Thus, the seventh head, combining Britain and the United States, came out on the winning side.

The world after the war was vastly different. Satan’s earthly system, although devastated by the death stroke, revived and became more powerful than ever and so won the admiration of humans because of its recuperative power.

Historian Charles L. Mee, Jr., writes; “The collapse of the old order (caused by the first world war) was a necessary prelude to the spread of self-rule, the liberation of new nations and classes, the release of new freedom and independence.” Leading in the development of this postwar era was the seventh head of the wild beast, now healed, and with the United States of America moving into the dominant role. The dual world power took the lead in advocating both the League of Nations and the United Nations. By the year 2005, U.S. political power had led the more privileged nations in creating a higher standard of living, in fighting disease, and in advancing technology. It had even placed men on the moon. It is no wonder, therefore, that mankind in general has “followed the wild beast with admiration.”

Mankind has even gone beyond admiring the wild beast, as John next states: “And they worshipped the dragon because it gave the authority to the wild beast, and they worshipped the wild beast with the words: ‘Who is like the wild beast, and who can do battle with it?’” (Revelation 13:4) While Jesus was here on earth, Satan claimed to have authority over all the kingdoms of the earth. Jesus did not dispute this; in fact, he himself referred to Satan as the ruler of the world and refused to participate in the politics of that day. John later wrote of true Christians: “We know we originate with God, but the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one.” (1 John 5:19; Luke 4:5-8; John 6:15; 14:30) Satan delegates power to the wild beast, and he does this on a nationalistic basis. Thus, instead of being united in bonds of goodly love, mankind has become divided by pride of tribe, race, and nation. The great majority of people worship, in effect, that part of the wild beast having authority in the land where they happen to live. Thus the whole beast gains admiration and worship.

In what sense? In the sense of putting love of country ahead of love of God. Most people love the land of their birth. As good citizens, true Christians also respect the rulers and the emblems of the country where they reside, obey the laws, and make a positive contribution to the welfare of their community and their neighbors. (Romans 13:1-7; 1 Peter 2:13-17) They cannot, however, give blind devotion to one country as against all others. “Our country, right or wrong,” is not a Christian teaching. So Christians who worship Jehovah God cannot share in giving prideful patriotic worship to any part of the wild beast, for this would amount to worshipping the dragon – the source of authority of the beast. They cannot ask admiringly: “Who is like the wild beast?” Rather, they follow the example of Michael – his name meaning “Who Is Like God?” – as they uphold Jehovah’s universal sovereignty. At God’s appointed time, Christ Jesus will do battle with the wild beast and conquer it, even as he triumphed in expelling Satan from heaven. – Revelation 12:7-9; 19:11, 19:21. ....

While Jesus was here on earth, Satan claimed to have authority over all the kingdoms of the earth. Jesus did not dispute this;

Satan is bound...his only power now is to deceive [Rev. 20:7-10] which he's doing a pretty good job of.

Mat 12:28 But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you.

Mat 12:29 Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house.

Mat 12:30 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.

Rapture & Premillennialism Refuted.....Satan bound by Jesus 2000 years ago! www.bible.ca/pre-rev20-satan-bound.htm

...been meaning to say something about that premillennialism stuff.....it's worse than the rapture hoax to keep Christian America down, and Judeo-"British-Israel" [ http://www.asis.com/users/stag/royalty.html / http://www.asis.com/users/stag/uspres.html ] with its grubby paws around our neck. We are living in Christ's kingdom NOW....there is no "1,000 year reign [reich]" for the Judeo-Brits to rule over us. [There were only 400 years of captivity spelled out in Genesis 15:13-14/Gal. 3:16-29]. The scepter [right to rule] passed to Christ [Lion of the tribe of Judah] on His first arrival. It was even spelled out in the sky:

www.freedom4um.com/cgi-bin/readart.cgi?ArtNum=77119

Someone was kind enough to send me a link to Chapter 3 of the Union Jack.... [ http://www.congregator.net/topical/union-jack-chapter-3.htm ]. It spells out the great deception, and conspiracy against America [Psalm 2]....my only complaint is that Jesus didn't just say "My kingdom is not of this world." What He actually said is "My kingdom is not NOW of this "world" ["kosmos" - constitution, government, ORDER of things] ....speaking BEFORE His crucifixion and resurrection....and speaking in the place where it was told the Jews: The kingdom will be taken from you and given to a nation bearing the fruits thereof....let no fruit grow on thee FOREVER. That nation/kingdom, which everybody likes to hate, is America [that does not include Britain's partner-in-crime, the US Government; Ezekiel 17:7-10]. Jesus is the KING of ISRAEL, the nation that was founded in His name with a cross, and a dedication to spreading the gospel. That is all contrary to the wishes of the City of London, because the truth would make us free, and they don't want us to be free. They like having us as slaves, slurping the fruits of our labors, and having us fight their wars of conquest. They have raised up the staff against us, after the manner of Egypt, to keep us enslaved. I keep wondering when God is going to raise up that scourge against them, like He has promised. Maybe when Christians turn back to Him, and not to the one who is smiting them.

The US is still a [Judeo] British Colony, extorting taxes for "The Crown":

"...When Cornwallis surrendered to Washington he surrendered the battle, not the war. Read the Article of Capitulation signed by Cornwallis at Yorktown (footnote 3)

Jonathan Williams recorded in his book, Legions of Satan, 1781, that Cornwallis revealed to Washington during his surrender that "a holy war will now begin on America, and when it is ended America will be supposedly the citadel of freedom, but her millions will unknowingly be loyal subjects to the Crown."...."in less than two hundred years the whole nation will be working for divine world government. That government that they believe to be divine will be the British Empire."

All the Treaty did was remove the United States as a liability and obligation of the king. He no longer had to ship material and money to support his subjects and colonies. At the same time he retained financial subjection through debt owed after the Treaty, which is still being created today; millions of dollars a day. And his heirs and successors are still reaping the benefit of the kings original venture. ....."

Without addressing the rest of your article:

At God’s appointed time, Christ Jesus will do battle with the wild beast and conquer it, even as he triumphed in expelling Satan from heaven.

I say Amen to that.
