If you want to know what's really going on in this world, read the Bible. But don't read it like the wolves always do  -- in allegory. Read it for what it actually says.

The Bible tells us to look at our world's governments as beasts. Why? Because that's the way they act. For example, today's news tells us Israeli police stormed the Temple Mount Read about it here. We also read Prime Minister Ariel Sharon said Arafat my be assassinated next Read about it here. Question: What's Sharon up to?

Here's where the Bible's view of governments come in. When a weakened beast is backed into a corner, what does it do? It turns and shows its teeth. That's what I think Sharon is doing -- showing his teeth.

You see, Sharon's government has been weakened and backed into a corner over allegations of corruption. So, its doing what comes natural to a beast.

And now a word of warning. These displays of teeth should be taken seriously.

Wounded beasts can be dangerous.
