Not sure I understand your fourth question. Your seventh question though is up for arugement. Just what is "the beast" referred to in Revelation 13? Most of Christian tradition has read that as being a nation state. So if nationalism is akin to satanism... then perhaps satanism is in the bible. I think it's more simply just idolatry, but again that's up for argument.<br/><br/>Thanks for the post Rob. How'd you end up coming across my site?

The second point, various editions of the bible refer to the last book as,"A Revelation to John","The Revelation to John","The Book of Revelations", etc. Thirdly, The sister is trying to convince the vatican that the End of Days is upon us because they don't believe it, as you were quick to point out.<br/>Fourthly, The Revelation To John, states that he will return so does this mean (from what you say) that most christians don't believe in that part of the bible especially as he rose from the dead and was not yet spirit because his feet were touched (Matthew 28:9).<br/>Fiftly: Sadly, there are doctors and nurses who hope patients will die and harvest their organs, as this happened at Aldersey Hospital in Liverpool a few years ago, taking organs from children without the parents consent.<br/>Sixthly, Greek was also spoken at that time so just because it is not used in the bible doesn't exclude others from using it.
