"And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season". It would be interesting to hear what the participates think in terms of this event happening after 79 AD. The Roman Empire collapsed, the dark ages were ushered in, and there were no new nations formed for a thousand years. After the dark ages, nations did start to form. Does this mean that this has been fulfilled? Or is this a “to be event in the future”? Thanks Dee or Deb,

Xerox paid for professors to come into the company and put on college courses in their Learn and Lunch program. The professors were from Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) and the University of Rochester. Hope this helps. Acme,

In a largely agrarian society, how likely is it that anyone leaves home to work--boy or girl? Isn't this big divide between home and work largely a product of the industrial revolution?

I took the course that taught us how to read the symbols of the old temples and walls in Egypt. These were holographs and it was important to know what the symbol for the "Boy" and for "Girl" meant while reading them. If you thought it was gender then you would misunderstand the topic or story being told. The meaning of words are very important when reading the bible, they might not mean what we think based upon our current cultures and meanings. Dee,
