Although America decided that David Koresh was "not worthy”, there is a class of charlatan whom America tolerates (and perhaps encourages) when they claim to be worthy to open the first seal of the seven-sealed book. These are America’s Presidents.

America is an engine designed to promote fulfillment of the end time prophecies. Many of America’s founders were Biblical scholars; the rest probably were much more familiar with its teachings than are the politicians of today. I believe that much of the symbolism associated with what our Presidents do is connected to fulfillment of Biblical prophecy, whether or not the public recognizes it as such.

Two recent examples illustrate the point. Opening of the first seal is associated with a white horse, whose rider is symbolic of the god Apollo. Apollo (who by the way also was the Roman god of colonists) is associated with health and pestilence. Those two concepts played important roles in the last two Presidential administrations:

• Barack Obama made a health care program the focus of his administration, and
• The nation endured a series of anthrax attacks after 9/11 in the administration of George W. Bush.

Although the FBI believes that Dr. Bruce Ivins was responsible for the anthrax attacks, several of his colleagues have said there are good reasons to think otherwise. I believe that the anthrax used in the attacks came from a government owned or sponsored laboratory and that the attacks themselves were intended to further both some terrorist agenda and the fulfillment of end time prophecy.

Didn't George W. Bush think that he had been ordained by God (see Faith, Certainty and the Presidency of George W. Bush, by Ron Suskind in the October 17, 2004, issue of The New York Times Magazine)? And doesn't America have the firm belief that God needs our help?
