I'll put the search strings in bold, these are the beginning of a quote, and the link(s), the ulr(s), which are highlighted too, will be the quote(s) end(s)...
This post is an update of yesterday's post...I need to give the "Biblical Alarmists", those who see signs of the end times in every tree and bush of the dark forest, their due...much like the ufologists that scan ancient medieval paintings for things depicting alien spacecraft, the Alarmists have gone through the stories of ancient history with a flea comb, as it were, and they find things, things they shoehorn into their end time narrative, but things nonetheless!...having seen the story of the Brazen Bull in two old stories, of the Christian martyrs Antipas and Eustace, I thought to do a google search of the Bull...
brazen bull furnace
The bull was made entirely of bronze, hollow, with a door in one side.[3] The bull was in the form and size of an actual bull and had an acoustic apparatus that converted screams into the sound of a bull. The condemned were locked in the device, and a fire was set under it, heating the metal until the person inside roasted to death.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hard to tell, maybe the Bull was just a story, or maybe in the ancient world it was a common means of execution, like the Cross...what seems certain, is that when ancient cultures clashed, such things were the means of persuasion...the 700 Club has the story of Pergamon, and the Altar of Pergamon, and it is a copy/paste tale that is lensed through the end time narrative...
altar of satan pergamon
At the end of the first century, Pergamum was a thriving city. So why does the book of Revelation call it the dwelling place of Satan? The answer lies in the ruins of the city's temples.“On one side, it was a very beautiful city,” says Renner. “But on the flip side, it was one of the darkest, eeriest cities in the whole Roman Empire.”

700 Club take has it the Brazen Bull was at the Altar...and thereabout Antipas met his end...then there is this leap...in the 19th Century the Altar is carted off to Germany by a German archaeologist...it's still there, and it was there when the Nazi's came to power...Hitler used it as a showpiece in Germany's bid for the Olympics...insomuch as the Book of Revelation branded Pergamon as Satan's abode, where ever the Altar is, or any similar looking thing, it's regarded as Satanic...Obama used a stage prop at the Democratic convention that looks a bit like it, looks a bit like the Capital Building in Washington too, but that isn't noted in the Alarmists' alarms...because of the prop, Obama is correlated with Satan, as is Hitler and the Germans for having the Altar in a German museum, and building a huge replica for their gatherings...as the Jews were beset by Hitler, much as the Christians were by the Pagan priests at Pergamon, there's this dovetail now in the end time narrative that the Altar is a focus of the persecution of Jews and Christians...it, it's just an old Temple displayed in a museum, but narratives like the 700 Club's can put a cast to things that is trouble trouble trouble....
In World War 2, after Pearl Harbor, a scheme was hatched to launch bombers from an aircraft carrier and bomb Tokyo...it was a tit for tat...Japan came across the Pacific and bombed Pearl Harbor, America would return the gesture...a show of our strength....that was America's narrative, and it was heroically accomplished...Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo...once having passed over Tokyo, the bombers flew on to China, where the planes were ditched, and the Crews sought refuge and rescue with the Chinese...Japan by then had defeated and occupied much of China, and some doubts were raised about what would happen to the Chinese that helped the pilots...these doubts didn't deter the bombing...and the resultant terror released on the Chinese by the Japanese was horrific...they took things out on the Chinese...

The Untold Story of the Vengeful Japanese Attack After the Doolittle Raid
By

That generosity shown by the Chinese would trigger a horrific retaliation by the Japanese that claimed an estimated quarter-million lives and would prompt comparisons to the 1937-38 Rape of Nanking. American military authorities, cognizant that a raid on Tokyo would result in a vicious counterattack upon free China, saw the mission through regardless, even keeping the operation a secret from their Pacific theater allies. This chapter of the Doolittle Raid has largely gone unreported—until now.

The Alarmists are myopic, anyone with 'normal vision' can see that...and wherever they are, under whatever banner, they are all alike in being like bulls in a china shop...
