Some claim Babylon is the Vatican. They even write that the Pope as head of that religion is the prophesied Antichrist. Still many others write that the United States will become that prophesied Babylon with her fall from grace and economics; which will lead to degradation and turning from God in ...

Ever since Japan annexed the Korean Peninsula in 1910, there has been an animosity between the Koreans and the Japanese. After World War II, the United States took on the responsibility for defending Japan, and following the Korean War the Americans defended South Korea while the Soviet Union and China allied with North Korea.
