Well if he did, he probably just ordered one and miraculously turned it into a huge banquet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I told that tale to illustrate what Reagan believed in, the Bible can be translated into many ideals, the reference in the Bible to "the Kings of the East" has been taken to mean China and is predominantly an American conception from years ago. Noah’s son Japheth married a woman of the yellow race However, the Bible does speak prophetically of China’s role in end-time events. Revelation 16:12 The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up, to prepare the way for the kings from the east. The land of Sin (Hebrew: סִין) or Sinim (from: Hebrew: סִינִים, i.e. the inhabitants of the land of Sin, or the people of Sin) is a biblical hapax legomenon that appears in Isaiah 49:12: "Behold, these shall come from far: and, lo, these from the north and from the west; and these from the land of Sinim."[1] Some English versions simply transliterate the word, others translate the Hebrew as Syene or Aswan, and still others associate Sin with China. Sinim resembles Sinae, the Latinization of Qin, after the Qin state, founded in 778 BC, and the Qin dynasty, founded in 221 BC by Qin Shi Huang-Di.[2] 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yes, the Book of Revelation.. not covered much in Sunday School. The delightful old bats were concentrating on the "gentle Jesus meek and mild", miracles , and of course the rainbows being messages from God stuff during my attempted indoctrination. The Book of Revelation stuff must have been for the older kids who hadn't escaped by then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've also said that I was ok a church history and historical theology and pretty useless at Greek and Hebrew. But I know enough to say, with a high degree of certainty, that this is utter bollocks. However, it's par for the course for empty-headed ScotchNats like @SandyCromarty 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salt n Vinegar Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 A "laugh or cry" moment... "the King" is going to visit staff at an Aberdeen food bank. Few better ways to highlight how revoltingly unequal His kingdom is. "Your Highness... would you like me to introduce you to some starving people?" "Ooh, One should co-co, will there be nibbles? One is a bit peckish one's self, and Camilla loves a salami!" Presumably he'll be safe from the eggs on the trip as they're needed to feed the hungry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satoshi Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 The only way the royal family continues to exist is that the sycophants have to believe that the royals are just a superior type of human being to them. The fact it's increasingly obvious they are complete losers and weirdos can only help get us closer to consigning them to history. As of now they are in full on defensive mode whilst they stuff the coffers for as long as they can. They know their time will be up eventually, just got to insulate future generations with as much taxpayer cash as possible. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
