William R. Hawkins’ article “A Tug-of-War over Control” (Rappahannock News, Feb. 19) is, first of all, full of non sequibun: his beads of fact and opinion are strung on strands of over-cooked spaghetti that fall apart at the merest touch.
But what is worse are the implications of his argument on the fiiture - the impact of his ideas on America’s prophetic destiny. To see the future, let’s look first at the past.
God drew a strong, clear line of demarcation between the bi-millennial age of Old Testament Judaism, and that of New Testament Christianity in 132 A.D. when the Roman Emperor Hadrian brought the theocratic nation of Israel to its final end and expelled all Jews from their homeland.
