Bible Note: Hello Misty, As I've already stated, this is figurative language. For instance, I've heard people use terms like "marry the two ideas." Obviously, ideas cannot marry, but we understand it to mean that these two ideas will be brought together. It's the same way here. It's a marriage of mankind with a governmental system to make a super-power. But that super-power cannot hold together because it's flawed from the start, being based on man. That super-power is the offspring (again figuratively) of the marriage between man and the governmental system. Steve |
