The rise or fall of American Empire by Doug Krieger

This six-part series of articles were written between late May and early August of 2007. At issue is America’s role as global policeman through her extensions of military bases and globalization of commerce. Is she that “End of Days” commercial empire awaiting judgment in Revelation 18? Is she also not that final expression of Gentile World Power foreseen by the prophets of both Testaments and whose torturous judgment concludes in Revelation 19? Is her brand of militant Christianity the final expression of that woman who rides the Beast in Revelation 17—APOSTATE religion?

Throughout the series are what this author considers as erroneous views of America’s alleged decline in order to make for their own bias of Western European dominance in the latter days. Make no doubt about it—the 800-pound gorilla must be kicked off the bed by these brethren, for its presence is too overwhelming to be dismissed as inconsequential.

Indeed, some of these evangelical forecasts of America’s demise border on the ludicrous—given the geo-political realities of the day, as well as the intent of Scriptures regarding the culmination of Gentile World Power.

This is a serious read that will irritate, disgust, amuse and convince you one way or the other—no middle ground abides Is the Bible relevant—you better believe it is!

All these are “hot links” to each of the parts – parts which should be sequentially arranged one after the other but whose “hot link” links directly to that portion of the six-parts!

Part I – GOD OF FORTRESSES
	America’s empire building will not go away
Part II - BYE-BYE BABYLON
	America Evangelicals must terminate America
Part III - RUMORS OF MY DEATH PERSIST
	America’s no fantasy – though American Evangelicals think so . . .
Part IV - WHY AMERICA MUST BE DESTROYED
	Leading American Evangelicals propose the preposterous – America is NOT in Bible Prophecy
Part V - PEACE & PROSPERITY AS DESTRUCTION &CORRUPTION
	Spreading Peace & Prosperity – Precisely what Antichrist intends – but “Destruction & Corruption await the unsuspecting -
Part VI - GUARANTEE THE SECURITY OF THE STATE OF ISRAEL
	American Evangelicals are divided – but it’s time to Secure Israel’s Peace -
Part VII - THE MONSTER vs. THE BEAST
	The Rise and Fall of politicos running for America's Commander-in-Chief in 2008 is serious comic relief--I wonder why America's Patriotic Prophets like John Hagee, Hal Lindsey and Jack Kinsella are so determined to leave America out of all Bible prophecy when they're so involved in her political process - did someone say AGENDA?
Part VIII/IX - MERCHANTS OF TARSHISH - …the Timing of Gog-Magog & the Oracle of Damascus
	Far too long have the Merchants and Ships of Tarshish been obscured from our prophetic radar. The time is altogether ripe for the exposure of the Merchants of the Earth and the source of their beginnings and current hideout—which is so altogether obvious that only the most blinded by greed and those made rich from her delicacies cannot see her for what she is: MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH! Embedded in these disclosures are some remarkable chronologies regarding Gog-Magog and the identity of sundry peoples engaged in the conflict – as well as illumination on the Oracle of Damascus—which Burden we are all about to bear. But, never mind, America is still not involved in prophecy—and neither do tornadoes strike the center of our largest cities – although Atlanta was hit by one here in mid-March, 2008!
Part X - DAMNING AMERICA
	The 2008 Democratic contest has taken on an ugly debate over entrenched racial injustice as propounded by Barack Obama’s pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Previous sermons by Rev. Wright excoriate America, yea, DAMN her inexcusable racial past and carry that condemnation through to the present; blaming 9/11 on her indiscretions and suggesting America inflicted AIDS upon her black minority, as well as white elites blundering the “bodies and souls of men” – let alone blame her for inventing “three strikes” and thereby perpetuating slavery through her prison system. Oh, this thing’s getting down and dirty—talk about “shock and awe” – wait until you read this! Will America RISE or FALL in Chapter X – this may be the most pivotal of chapters in this series.
Part XI - FROM TALLINN IN THE BALTIC TO TBILISI IN THE CAUCASUS ….A Velvet Curtain with an Iron Fist has descended across the Continent
	The legacy of President George Walker Bush bespeaks of the deliberate military extension of America’s strategic umbrella over the whole of the European Continent—especially, over ALL of Eastern Europe and even the Caucasus. Bush’s recent escapades in Kiev, Bucharest, Zagreb and Sochi, Russia, are not the expressions of a blithering fool, but the calculated maneuverings of a diplomatic genius—USING America’s leadership over the NATO alliance to accomplish the veritable impossible: The capture of all of Eastern Europe under the American Eagle! Have we just witnessed the man on the white horse riding forth conquering and to conquer without firing a shot? What possible prophetic insights do we witness here—where is all this going? And, why, oh why, do the vast majority of American evangelical prophecy buffs utterly ignore America’s role in these doings and acclaim that Antichrist is wholly Euro-Centric and that America and her military might is exhausted by the tie Antichrist manifests himself – we’ve played the role of the fool and have not seen the rise of our Empire throughout the world, especially Europe!
