Post Anybody believe in Prophecy's?

(Rev 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

Today the USS Ronald Reagan was commissioned: http://www.cnn.com/2003/US/South/07...n.ap/index.html

To those unfamiliar with navy hardware let me summarize: The Nimitz-class ships are the latest class of nuclear powered aircraft carriers of the US navy. They are the biggest and most powerful ships ever built by mankind.

These are the ships of the Nimitz-class and their commission dates:
http://www.globalsecurity.org/milit...cvn-68-unit.htm

Nimitz-----------------------03 May 1975
Dwight D. Eisenhower-----18 Oct 1977
Carl Vinson-----------------13 Mar 1982
Theodore Roosevelt-------25 Oct 1986
Abraham Lincoln-----------11 Nov 1989
George Washington------- 04 Jul 1992
John C. Stennis------------09 Dec 1995
Harry S Truman------------25 Jul 1998
Ronald Reagan-------------12 Jul 2003
George H.W. Bush-----------------2008

That's...10 ships
The USS Ronald Reagan commissioned today(7/12/03) is the 9th ship. 1 more to go....

But look at the NAMES of the Nimitz-class ships above: there are 7 Presidents ( 7 heads!!!). Count them...

Dwight D. Eisenhower
Theodore Roosevelt
Abraham Lincoln
George Washington
Harry S Truman
Ronald Reagan
George H.W. Bush

(Rev 13:4)And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?

The Nimitz carriers form the backbone of US "force-projection". Whenever major trouble starts somewhere, the first thing the President asks is "where are the carriers?" The carriers provide the offensive punch for major military operations. No other nation has ships as powerful as a Nimitz-class and no other nation or group of nations has the ability to field such a force that can deliver this much firepower on a GLOBAL scale -and we're not even talking about the nuclear capabilty of each one of these ships. And each carrier is really a battle-group consisting of cruisers, destroyers and ballistic-missile submarines. Who is able to make war with that?

To summarize:

The Beast rises out of the sea: The Nimitz-class are Naval warships

The Beast has 10 horns: There are 10 ships of the Nimitz-class (9 completed so far).

The Beast has 7 heads: 7 of the 10 ships are named after US Presidents!

"..Who is able to make war with him?": No other nation has anywhere near the combined capabilty of these ships, NOBODY.

Is your hair standing on your neck yet? Keep in mind that this is just speculation since no one can know for sure until that time comes. It could be just a coincidence...in any case there's no beast yet even in this speculation since there's 1 more ship to be completed(2008). Well that gives you about 5 more years.

A LOT can happen in 5 years....so keep an open mind ok?

very interesting... is there more to this... I mean, you say 13:4 or whatever, does it predict other things, and what's it say will happen, or does it only predict military action, or what??

I donno, but if you look further into the whole revelations thing the US are friends of Israel...that's the reason they take so much crap from everyone...IMO that part might really be a coincidence... there's alot of diff interpretations out there... and even then, look at all the stuff that happens before revelations 13... we're sorta jumping into the middle of the shpiel... you never know tho... but keep in mind that this is after the seven seals have been opened and even then, most scholars will argue that one of the heads of the beast is the antichrist, because "one of the heads will suffer a death wound, but the death wound was healed: and the whole earth went after the beast in amazement and admiration. "


it's all about interpretations...

and also most scholars believe that the US is fairly excluded from a lot of these scenarios because they are the people that are on israels side... that being said you're right alot can happen.. but it seems more likely that it will originate somewhere in asia.. there's a bunch of research on that i can look it up for you if you'd like.
