Abstract
The inaugural of this column last issue drew a large number of comments, all of them encouraging us to continue. Thanks to those of you who took the trouble to note the error in my reference to the book of Daniel. It is Daniel 7:23-25 (not Daniel 8) that predicts the coming together of all the world's nations into a global confederacy of ten nations. Most of the questions we received had to do with this predicted confederacy, and I would like to address some of the most frequently-asked ones.
