"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" (Revelation 13:3). "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" (Revelation 13:12). How does this fit into prophecy? "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" (Revelation 13:15).

Just how does the United States, among other nations, agree to come in line with worship, which is a religious activity? Easy. Have the atheists go way too far driving the religious mad so as to swing the pendulum in the opposite direction and again, too far.
