<br />This was the Byzantine imperial eagle.<br />The state now commonly referred to as the Byzantine Empire was never known by that name in its own time, <br />then it was called the ROMAN EMPIRE.</div><br /><br />"The Byzantine Empire was noted for the complexity of the organization of its ministries and the number that had to be visited for an outsider to accomplish any administrative task; from this came the term still in modern use, "Byzantine", often used pejoratively to describe any work, law, or organization that is excessively complex and/or difficult to understand. (for an example of "Byzantine complexity", see Taxation in the United States.)"<br /><center><br /><a name="cutid1"></a><br /><br />Here come the Romans...<br /><br />
<br />United Kingdom<br /><br />and your favorite I’m sure...<br /><br />
<br /><br /> THE GREAT SEAL<br />Now look closely above the head of the imperial eagle. You see a cluster of 13 stars. <br />If you were to connect those 13 stars above it's head, like connect-the-dots, what would you get? <br />If you said the Star of David, give yourself a pat on the back.<br />Is that why we have so much interest in Palestine? Why are Bush and Blair playing matchmaker with Israel?<br /></center> <br /><br />But alas, the Bible told the tale of our new Roman empire in advance...<br /><br /><blockquote><font size="+3">Revelation 17</font><br /><br />1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: <br />2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. <br />3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. <br />4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: <br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<br />PURPLE and SCARLET<br />decked with gold and precious stones and pearls<br />Ancient Babylon sits where present-day Iraq is now situated.<br />Alexander THE GREAT (probably the most famous leader of the Roman empire) died mysteriously as he was trying to conquer Babylon.<br /><br />The GREAT britain and THE GREAT SEAL of the united states have joined forces, in order not to make the that same mistake in Iraq as Alexander...<br /> <br />I guess the Brits got over that whole Tea Party thing? When you bleed purple and scarlet it's for life... Speaking of Boston and purple/scarlet... would you say it's a coincidence that a certain team just happened to end an 86-year "curse", being from that city, bearing those precise colors?</div><br /><br />5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. <br />6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration. <br />7 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns. <br />8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. <br />9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. <br /><br /><ul><li>"The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth." Ah ha... the seven continents! Which means the woman are nations in the seven continents... </li></ul><br /><br />10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. <br />11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition. <br />12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. <br />13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. <br /><br /><ul><li>"National security" ... global economy? Hrm...</li></ul><br /><br />14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful. <br />15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. <br />16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. <br /><br /><ul><li>Wait, you mean the new Roman empire is going to fall?! The rest of the world really hates America?! NO WAY!</li></ul><br /><br />17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled. <br />18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth. <br /><br /><ul><li>The Great Seal... Team America World Police (...not funny) Unfortunately, I guess you won't believe it until you see it. It won't be much longer now.</li></ul></blockquote><br /><br />Yes, it is true. The new Roman empire is nearing it's end. They are making the same mistakes and now they are falling.<br /><br />side note:<br />The Imperial cult was the worship of the Roman emperor as a god in the Roman Empire.<br />Loyal citizens of the Empire were expected to make a periodic offering to the Emperor, and upon doing so they received a certificate that they had in fact demonstrated their loyalty by sacrificing. Christians, of course, refused to worship the Emperor, considering the cult to be idolatry. The sacrifice was used as a law enforcement tool to ferret them out. (did it occur to you, it's exactly the same today? submit to your country and your leader, or be cut off). <br /><br />The imperial cult was abandoned when Constantine I became Emperor in 313 (three thirteen), and the Roman empire decided it was in their best interest to establish themselves as a "Christian" empire in order to gain the trust of Christians and their other followers. If you look closely on the current Roman empire seal, you will notice the reference to the year 313... 13 stars, 13 arrows, 13 leaves. Three thirteen. <br /><br />You know what's worse than conspiracy theorists? <br />Anti-conspiracy nuts who overlook the mountains of overwhelming evidence out of fear, ignorance, or just plain indignation.<br /></div><br clear='all' /><hr width='100%' size='2' align='center' />
