The Long View 2002-10-30: Surrender and Taxes

The Long View: Theonomy, Globalism, and Babylon
A brief note by John on Thomas Friedman's imperial policy ambitions, and Antipas Ministries, which still has a website sixteen years later.
Theonomy, Globalism, and Babylon
This note was originally posted to the Talk 2000 Forum, and appeared in the April 1999 issue of Let's Talk
