In one of their videos "The Land of Confusion" there appears a
caricature of Reagan, who at the end of the video pushes the
button marked Nuke instead of the one marked Nurse. Caricatures
similar to the one in the Genesis video are sold all up and down
Hollywood Boulevard, in Hollywood, California. Once I bought one
and found that just as was said in Revelation I could make this
particular image of the beast talk. All I did was say "squeal
piggy" and squeeze it. It would let out a squeal just like the
pig he is.
     The People magazine article, also speaks about Reagan's voice.
"His voice was as soothing as warm honey, the voice of a kindly
old family doctor reassuring a sick child. Even when he was
mouthing fright-wing absurdities (he called Medicaid recipients
"a faceless mass waiting for handouts."), he spoke with a
televangical conviction that invited belief." That televangelical
conviction coupled with his warm voice is just what the Bible
predicted as the "deluding influence" spoken about in 2
Thessalonians chapter 2 verse 11.
     The article also speaks about the deluding influence of Reagan
during his years in power in another place. There it says; "In
eight years as Governor of California and eight years at the
summit of world power the Great Communicator adroitly manipulated
the hearts and minds of his countrymen and transformed American
politics--not necessarily for the better." That he was able to
manipulate the hearts and minds of the people, goes without
saying. Even during the Iran Scam he was able to convince the
very congress that is supposed to be one of the checks upon his
power, to let him continue in office. This, even after it was
revealed that there was a memo that would have convicted him of a
"high crime."
     The final segment that I would like to quote from that article in
people magazine really sets the stage for the next segment of
this chapter. It concerns itself with the political image of the
beast as opposed to the physical image of the beast. As you read
this excerpt, watch for our operative word image and how it is
used. "Once and for all, Reagan demonstrated that in a nation
equipped with 162 million TV sets, politics is the art of the
visible. Image wins over substance star quality over sound
ideas." The Image that he projected was that of Mr. Nice Guy. The
article says this: "Mr. Nice Guy was the only role Ronald Reagan
ever played." Never mind that it was only a role. His policies
have set the stage for Possible world annihilation.
     The star quality that won over sound ideas, spoken about in that
passage, was most evident in his push for the "star wars"
program. According to all of the literature on nuclear defense
that was available at the time, the basic defense that both
ourselves and the Soviets relied upon, was the ability to destroy
the others nuclear arsenal even after a first strike by the other
side. That was the reason for all of the anti-ballistic missile
negotiations and final treaty that had been completed prior to
his coming to office. With great tenacity Reagan convinced a
reluctant Congress to go along with him on a program that clearly
violated the principle of that treaty and possible could
destabilize the world situation. One has to wonder what would
have happened if the attempted Soviet coup by the communists had
succeeded. Would they have launched a first nuclear strike, at
some point, before the "star wars" defense system became fully
operational.
    There is one policy that if he had had his way would have turned
the minds of his nation's children away from the true teachings
of the Bible. The policy that I am referring to is that of
Reagan's call for open school prayer. According to everything
that the Bible teaches, prayer is a personal matter between
oneself and God. To have prayer said openly in school everyday
would rob people of the benefits of prayer. Jesus said as much as
reported in Matthew. There it states: "And when you pray, you are
not to be as the hypocrites; for they love to stand and pray in
the synagogues and in the streets that they may be honored by
