Signs We're Racing Toward Orange Afros

* First and foremost among "the signs," if you're a believer, is the return of Jews to Jerusalem. Are we there yet? Israel occupied Arab East Jerusalem in 1967, then later annexed it, although the Israeli annexation has yet to be recognized by the international community. Democrat senators Schumann and Lieberman, (among dozens of other pols) pressed Clinton to move the US Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, in recognition that Jerusalem was the capital of Israel. GWB promised the embassy move in 2000, as did Clinton in 1993 (both reneged citing "national security" concerns). Bush as recently as December 2004 again postponed the move. Establishing the US Embassy in Jerusalem must signify an act of Biblical proportions.

* The destruction of the Masjid Al-Aqsa and construction of a Jewish temple on the spot. Should be easy to do. With the recent emergence of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, destroying the Mosque in a shoot out will be viewed by most Americans as ridding the world of another terrorist cell which just happened to be holed up in a church. Most Americans couldn't tell you Al-Aqsa is also a mosque, or where Iraq is on a map. The pulpits will ring with sermons of how the LORD smite and smote the evil doers, as prophesied, in order for JESUS CHRIST's RETURN in order to save us from our sin (I thought he did that already), so He can reign on earth for 1000 years of peace and prosperity! And our peace and prosperity (no relation to Clinton) is intertwined with Israel's. So saith the fundamentalists.

* The control of Jews over Biblical Israel. The Jewish dream of a Greater Israel. Including, but not limited to, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, Iraq, the Sinai Peninsula belonging to Egypt, part of south Turkey, and a piece of Hijaaz in Saudi Arabia, including Medina. But hell, might as well take it ALL while we're there. No Muslim left behind.

* Finally, the Anti-Christ, supposedly one who grows up from the Jewish nation and is backed up by the false prophet (Sharonabush?), a world financial system, and then huge hailstones rain down on Har Magedon (near Lebanon), the final battle between good and evil. The war to end all wars, etc. Depending on which Christian sect you follow, there's dispute of which comes first, the tribulation or the rapture. With Bush, Sharon, institutions such as UN, IMF, World Bank, WTO, and a nuke named Hailstorm somewhere....my guess is tribulation.
