Kensei01:
I also appreciate your's and other's comments too. At the very least, if our ideas survive the gauntlet here, we can say that they are OUR ideas or beliefs, rather than something we were just told to believe.
Listening to the various comments here also provides a broadening out of one's viewpoint.
Take Care
Bringing this thread to the top again. It is tremendously informative and is helpful towards eliminating wrong ideas and interpretations. The answer to the topic's question is: No! There is no such thing as an "Anglo-American world power". Britain and the United States are not, and never have been, co-rulers over any part of the world. Thanks BluesBrother for your depth of thought regarding this subject and for authoring this thread. - - Paul.
Historically there never has been a man made world power that governs over all lands.
There have been large Empires /Kingdoms that have expanded over large areas of land such as the ancient Roman Empire.
Perhaps ancient mythology is fiction ?
Howdy Harry! It's nice that you have commented.
You said: "Historically there never has been a man made world power that governs over all lands."
I'd be interested to hear what you think about verse 38 in the 2nd chapter of Daniel?
The duality becomes somewhat believable, when you consider the 2 spreading legs of the statue, meeting at the crotch.
Anglo at one point not being just a junior, or now elderly partner, counting all the billions in Commonwealth countries.
Here are the largest trading partners with the US:
1) Mexico
2) China
3) Canada
Here are the largest political allies with the US, the UK isn't even in an extended list:
1) Israel
2) South Korea
3) Phillipines
Japan is above UK in both lists and this goes back decades. The notion of a duality UK/US world power is simply false, there is no evidence for it. Even at the time it was written, the largest world powers after the fall of the USSR - the UK, once again, wasn't even on the list.
I don't know the origin of the term 'Anglo-American' world empire, in particular its connection to supposed prophecies in the books of Daniel and Revelation, but the WT didn't invent it. I have seen it elsewhere ( the now-defunct Armstrong World Wide Church of God used it in the '70's). It seems likely to me that it came out of the 1800's end-time writers.
Anglo - American world empire ? never existed , except in the minds of religious nuts .
How about Lancasters at night, B17 in the daytime, Nato ?
