The Bible does not describe the end as a sudden appearance of obvious evil, but as a progression in which the world becomes ready for something it would have once resisted. The Antichrist, the Beast, and the False Prophet do not rise in isolation. They rise because the conditions of the world make their rise… Read more »

Noah Webster, the author of the first American Speller and the first American Dictionary, warned that the moral principles found in Scripture must serve as the foundation of civil law and government.
