In 1987 James Dale Davidson (with whom I conversed back in the day) published a book titled: "Blood in the Streets." The primary prophesy of the book was a bold guarantee that the Soviet Union would fall, fall hard, and fall soon. At the time of writing the Berlin Wall was as intact, ubiquitious, and immutable, as was Soviet-style communism.
Though in retrospect, prophesies like Davidson's tend to look obvious, on the back-side of the fulfillment, a prophesy like Davidson's usually garners more laughter than serious thought. . . And I was there, as were you, and I remember the attitude toward Davidson's prophesy.
And yet today, another behemoth, another dinosaur, another worldview propped up by veils and walls, xenophobia, and visions of world-ruling grandeur, is about to topple, and topple hard, for the same reasons given by Davidson for the fall of the Soviet Union.
