Revelation 18 and global economics

Please, read Revelation 18 once again and let yourself count, how many times there are hints to religion and how many times to issues connected with global trade! <BR> <BR>I was surprised when I did it.

Friday, 09 January 2009 12:12  <BR>&#34;The value of new orders in Finland&#39;s manufacturing sector plummeted by about 34 per cent year-on-year in November, Statistics Finland &#40;SF&#41; said in a statement Friday. <BR>&#34;The decline in new orders was particularly strong in the metal industry, where it amounted to 43.6 per cent,&#34; the government agency added. <BR> <BR>STT&#34; <BR> <BR>The text above can be found by using the following link: <BR> <BR><a href="http://www.helsinkitimes.fi/htimes/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=36&Itemid=202" target=_top>http://www.helsinkitimes.fi/htimes/index.php?optio n=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=36&Item id=202</a>
