I'm with you Jim (if you are still there after 2 yrs! Found this thread via a google search on the matter). End times huxster Joel C. Rosenberg goes on and on about Russia and Iran, Gog and Magog. He won't look at things like how Milton Friedman's family emigrated from a part of Ukraine which is due north of Jerusalem....not that I am suggesting Friedman is Gog but I do think if you want to take end times stuff seriously, you can't discount globalization and "free markets" and all of that crap.
I think we can all agree that during the end-times, the focus will be on "globalization".
Currency, government, economy, manufacturing, religion, everything. They will all be done by one world globalization.
The question is, who is spearheading this? Do really want to know? We are. America is. America the beautiful. America the sovereign. America the great country founded upon God. The very America you live in is being sold like a WHORE.
You don't believe me? Fine, then go talk to the horse himself:

United Nations

The United Nations headquarters is a distinctive complex in New York City that has served as the headquarters of the United Nations since its completion in 1952. It is located in the Turtle Bay neighborhood, on the east side of Manhattan, on spacious grounds overlooking the East River.
European Union
http://europa.eu/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Union
The EU has no official capital and its institutions are divided between several cities
What does the EU have to do with America you ask? I answer you:
If considered a single unit, the European Union has the second largest economy in the world, behind the United States, with a GDP of 12,427,413 million USD (2005) using PPP equivalence. The EU economy is expected to grow further over the next decade as more countries join the union � especially considering that the new states are usually poorer than the EU average, and have the capacity to grow at a higher rate
In the very near future, the EU's economy will dictate the global basis for ecnomy, not America. We are at the beginning of our end, right here, right now. And do you know what?...........we did it intentionally to ourselves knowing full well the ramifications of our actions and allowances.
God have mercy on America, for we have left our first love.
Eph 6:24
Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen.
