those who live on their knees will die on their knees but there is an entire generation of christains that will never see death.

Would you elaborate? Who are those that live on their knees?

Many will be hungry and bow down to the beast and worship him. This will result in spiritual death.

But what did you mean?

“Because it's better to die on one's feet than live on one's knees," Nately retorted with triumphant and lofty conviction. "I guess you've heard that saying before." "Yes, I certainly have," mused the treacherous old man, smiling again. "But I'm afraid you have it backward. It is better to live on one's feet than die on one's knees.”

J Heller-Catch 22. Don't know if it answered your question,but the quote has stuck with me for a very long time.

Are you answering on behalf of restlessincanada or do you operate multiple accounts on this site? Both accounts we created recently.

If you are the same person, I don't feel satisfied with the answer, because it is vague about the meaning of being on the knees. I suggested meaning: bending the knee in worship of the beast for a bowl of food, which really is no way to live.

You could read the book. Granted it's not the bible,but you seem to need a break from that...just sayin.
