They are trying to maintain the image of the beast govt as speaking like a
lamb, but since 911 the image of the beast govt is speaking like a dragon.
Pretty soon the beast govt will no longer need the harlot (disobedient
church) that is riding its back.

HI JOHN
 
Have you given thought to the idea that the government may not really need main stream Christianity right now?
After all, almost all of them (the churches) are now registered with the government, just like in Russia; which means that they and their members are now prone to any amount of control the government may wish upon them.
And today, mainstream Christian's in large part, have gotten so secular in nature and thinking, until they have more or less just blended into secular society, and are now prone to being duped and deceived like never before--just like the secular people; which means any Christian influence isn't what it once was for anything anyway.
