Well guys if we aren't in the last days we'll sure misss a real good chance. Not much I can think of mentioned in Daniel and Revelations that hasn't actually already shown up except maybe the reveal of the False Prophet, Beast, and the Anti-Christ. So where is the USA and why isn't there any real mention of this "great" nation in the Bible. Well it is mentioned as "The Young Lion" or the feline offspring of Great Britain. But not much is said. No wonder to me. Our economy is just days from "tits up" with no way to support another war, especially when our wonderful leaders are turning their backs on Israel and God's prophetic land grant to them. I think also that we will soon be involved in an internal conflict fueled by our failed economy, loss of morals, and a very real famine created by our hamstrung thirst for fuel and an inability to produce it or to move goods from point to point.

"...what we know about our action under given conditions is derived not from experience, but from reason. What we know about the fundamental categories of action, economizing, preferring, the relationship of means and ends, and everything else that, together with these, constitutes the system of human action is not derived from experience. We conceive all this from within, just as we conceive logical and mathematical truths, a priori, without reference to any experience. Nor could experience ever lead anyone to the knowledge of these things if he did not comprehend them from within himself." LvM - "Epistemological Problems of Economics"
Reason is logically prior to experience.
The future is always uncertain because we (as individuals) do not know what new knowledge we will have tomorrow or how that new knowledge will be relevant. Beyond the rational association of regularity to past events, history tells us little about the future.
Reason is the critical factor that separates the natural sciences from the science of human action.
Man acts in order to substitute a condition of higher satisfaction for a condion lower satisfaction. Reason ought to tell us that God does not act - (how or why would The Almighty create or allow ANY condition that is imperfect? ) We cannot (or rather OUGHT not) ascribe action as we understand it to God. He is not (merely) human.
We CAN be thankful.

Aww don't get a headache cause Revelations and Daniel are not based on logic, reasoning, models, etc; but the Word of God which is its own proof.
