Read Daniel perek 6 and how it talks about a country at the river perhaps. A country that does what it wants and has grown West North ANd South. Interestingly the word West is not mentioned since the Atlantic Ocean is West. And then this country that does what it wants that has two horns one higher than the other will be attacked by something coming from the West not touching the ground. {Sound like a 757 to me} And then an attack from the stars. Sound like a nuclear bomb??? Let us not forget Parsha Beshalach where the Jews were trapped by pee charut or mouth of freedom. Does this mean freedom tower or statue of lberty? And that Sodom had 5 cities like New york and was corrupt because of its money. Do not forget that the NYSE is in New York. And even the word gay has entered the lnaguage because of gay street in new York and its gay riots some 40 years ago.
Original Thinker, your thinking isn’t so original. Folks have been using sefer Doniel to retroactively predict catastrophes for hundreds of years. The pesukim are ambiguous enough to be refering to anything from nuking Hiroshima to the Irish potato famine.
The best advice is, “Trust G-d, see all, nor be afraid.” (Robert Burns, the poem “Rabbi ben Ezra”)
Gay Nineties is an American nostalgic term that refers to the decade of the 1890s… The phrase has nothing to do with the term “gay” to refer to homosexuality, a usage that long postdates the phrase. (good ol’ wikipedia)
