| | An evangelical Christian acquaintance told me back in 1992 that his particular church's interpretation of the Book of Revelation predicted the currencies of all nations will collapse and pave the way for "The Beast" to take power.
Meanwhile, this news item reports the following:
President-elect Barack Obama's new ride has arrived -- and it's a beast.
As first reported by FOXNews.com last November -- and Tuesday by The Detroit News -- a new model of a presidential limousine made by General Motors Corp. has been delivered to the Secret Service and will make its debut on Inauguration Day.
The vehicle, referred to by the Secret Service as "the beast," will reportedly feature heavy armor that is at least 5 inches thick and comes complete with run-flat tires, bulletproof glass and a completely sealed interior to ward off a chemical attack, among many other high-tech security features.
One news agency, noting its 8-inch-thick doors, said the limo can withstand a "direct hit from an asteroid." But GM spokeswoman Joanne K. Krell laughed off the comments.
I have to wonder what the Christians in that vein have to say about this!
Did GM get bailout money for this?
