Trapper (and any other Americans here) - a small favour please. Do you understand this?

THE KISS OF DEATH

"Charles Dyer's 'The Rise of Babylon: Sign of the End Times' suggested that Babylon would be rebuilt before the final battle of Armageddon, and he showed how Saddam Hussein was apparently rebuilding it. The cover shows Saddam in uniform in front of a statue of Nebuchadnezzar. With Saddam's untimely demise, events in Iraq do not appear to be heading in the predicted direction. In 2004, Dyer's sequel presents a toppled Saddam alongside an image of a new enemy - Osama Bin Laden. The actors may change, but the same confident assurance of 'Bible prophecy coming true' remains"

[Steven Sizer, Zion's Christian Soldiers, p. 32, cited by Jonathan Menn, Biblical Eschatology, p. 76.]

Unfortunately for Dyer, Bin Laden's fate 7 years after that sequel is now a matter of record, and I'm quite surprised that Menn didn't mention his 'untimely' exit from the apocalyptic stage. Any tyrants or terrorist leaders should now be quaking in their boots at the prospect of being identified as the dread ogre of Rev. 13 by Dyer or any of his Dispy confederates.

They seem to have an uncanny knack of identifying the next victim of the US military instead. At the very least, the tyrants of this world had better pray to whatever god they believe in that the dread finger is not pointing at them from the next instalment of Dyer's eschatological musings. It can be lethal.    

Can you indicate what you think it's about with a brief comment please?
