armageddon?
are we approaching
Are we approaching the Battle of Armageddon? Absolutely!
How much time do we have left? Probably between seven and ten years. Could it be longer? Yes, but its not likely.
1THE FINAL SEVEN YEARS WILL BEGIN WHEN THE ANTICHRIST
AND THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY GIVE THEIR SUPPORT
TO ISRAELS RIGHT TO EXIST IN THE LAND PROMISED TO ABRAHAM
BY GOD. THIS IS CALLED THE CONFIRMATION OF THE COVENANT
DANIEL 9:27 & GENESIS 15:18.
Israeli Prime Minister has openly stated that the number one goal
of his administration is to obtain the support of the international
community for ISRAELS FINAL BORDERS. He hopes to achieve
this by the end of 2008.
2A WAR WILL BEGIN FROM THE VICINITY OF THE EUPHRATES
RIVER REVELATION 9:1316.
Most of the Euphrates River is in Iraq. The United States has
140,000 troopsSTATIONED ALONG THE EUPHRATES at this time.
The conflict between the U.S. and Islamic Fundamentalism is not
diminishing, but increasing around the world.
3THE WEST BANK JUDEA IN ISRAEL WILL BECOME A PLACE OF
GREAT TRIBULATION MATTHEW 24:1521.
Ehud Olmert has openly said that he will withdraw from the West
Bank (Judea) by the end of 2008. Then, recently, he announced
that his convergence-withdrawal plan is off NO LONGER
RELEVANT. Whether or not Israel withdraws, the prophecy is
clear that there will be slaughter in Judea.
4THE TEMPLE MOUNT IN JERUSALEM WILL BE PLACED UNDER
A SHARING ARRANGEMENT BETWEEN JEW AND GENTILE
REVELATION 11:12.
President Clinton suggested the SHARING OF THE TEMPLE
MOUNT in July of 2000. It is generally believed this is the only
possible solution to the Temple Mount dispute whenever the
issue is finally resolved.
5THE JEWISH TEMPLE WILL BE BUILT ON THE TEMPLE MOUNT
REVELATION 11:12 & 2 THESSALONIANS 2:34.
All the furniture for ISRAELS THIRD TEMPLE is now complete;
Israel has her long-sought-for red heifer, which is needed before
the re-establishment of temple worship; and in June of 2005, the
newly re-born Sanhedrin announced they were proceeding with
building the temple. They intend to pre-fabricate it off-site.
6THE TEMPLE MOUNT WILL BE PLACED UNDER THE SUPERVISION
OF THE WORLD COMMUNITY AND THE LEADER OF THE WORLD
COMMUNITY, THE ANTICHRIST, WILL STAND ON THE TEMPLE
MOUNT, CLAIMING TO BE GOD 2 THESSALONIANS 2:34.
The Temple Mount will be placed under the supervision of the
world community and the leader of the world community, THE
ANTICHRIST, will stand on the Temple Mount, claiming to be
God (2 Thessalonians 2:3-4). Ehud Barak, Israeli Prime Minister
in the year 2000, suggested placing the Temple Mount UNDER
UN CONTROL in order to make a sharing of the Temple Mount
possible. When the UN takes control of the Temple Mount, the
leader of the world government will feel justified in claiming
ultimate authority there.
7A WORLD GOVERNMENT WILL DOMINATE THE WORLD FOR
THREE AND ONEHALF YEARS PRIOR TO ARMAGEDDON
DANIEL 7:23 & REVELATION 13:7.
The nations of the world are increasingly recognizing the authority
of INTERNATIONAL LAW. We now have the World Bank, the World
Trade Organization, the World Health Organization and the World
Courtjust to name a few. We have a World Court to adjudicate
the international laws of the emerging world government.
8EACH PERSON ON EARTH WILL BE REQUIRED TO HAVE A MARK OR
A NUMBER IN ORDER TO BUY OR SELL REVELATION 13:1618.
On May 11, 2005, President Bush signed the REAL ID ACT.The law
requires that every American must have a national ID card by May
11, 2008. Without this card, a person will not be able to hold a job
or open a bank account. Without a job or a bank account, how
much buying and selling will an individual be able to do? Oh, by
the way, you cant get your card without giving your number
your social security number.
9THE WORLD COMMUNITY, LED BY RUSSIA AND IRAN, WILL
INVADE THE NATION OF ISRAEL ZECHARIAH 14:24 & EZEKIEL
38 & 39.
Iran (Persia) and Russia (Meshechroot word for Moscovi or
Moscow) are NOW IN ALLIANCE. Iran is the leading advocate of
wiping Israel off the map.n
Nine specific prophecies in the Bible will occur within the final seven years
prior to the Battle of Armageddon. By examining these prophecies, we can
get a sense of how close we are to Armageddon.

STATEMENT OF FAITHWe believe that the Bible is the inspired
Word of God, that Jesus Christ is the Savior
of the world, and that He will come again
to establish a kingdom that shall never be
destroyed (Daniel 2:44). Those who are born
again (John 3:35) will have eternal life and
rule as kings and priests with Christ forever.
WHAT IS ENDTIME?In 1968, Irvin Baxter Jr. discovered the United
States and other modern nations in the Bible.
He also found the Berlin Wall in the Bible
and that one day it was to be torn down,
re-uniting Germany, and that event would
be the catalyst to spark an international
movement called the New World Order.
These things have now come to pass. Irvin
Baxter Jr., a Pentecostal minister, began
Endtime Ministries in 1986 when he wrote A
Message For The President, a book explaining
the major prophecies of the Bible which
he had been teaching since 1968. After the
fall of the Berlin Wall, prophetic fulfillment
accelerated rapidly. The decision was made
to launch Endtime magazine. The purpose
of the magazine is to explain the prophecies
of the Bible and to show that they are now
being fulfilled in intricate detail. Articles
focus on the soon return of Jesus Christ, the
truth of the Bible, and the need for salvation.
Endtime does not deal with doctrinal
controversies, as valid as they may be. This
will be left to other publications.

A NUCLEAR IRAN?Te United Nations deadline o Febru-
ary 21st or Iran to halt nuclear enrichmentcame and went. Irans President MahmoudAhmadinejad not only rejected the UNsdemand to halt nuclear activity, but also
promised to speed up Irans race down thenuclear path.Reports suraced claiming that Israel
has requested rom the U.S. an air corri-dor through Iraq or use in the event o anIsraeli air strike against Iran. In the mean-time, a British newspaper reported that ithad received a copy o a plan rom the U.S.Deense Department or an American at-
tack against Iran.
NATIONAL ID AND TRACKINGSYSTEM DRAWS NEAR
With the deadline or the implementa-tion o the national ID looming just monthsahead, states have begun to wrestle with therequirements or conorming to the ederal
governments mandate. As the cost and theextent o privacy invasion dawns on the stategovernments, one afer another have begunto rebel. Maine passed a resolution callingor the repeal o the Real ID Act. Montanapassed a law flatly rejecting the enacting othe national ID in its state. As this issue goesto press, 38 states have either passed legis-
lation against the Real ID or are consider-ing doing so. Could it be that Americanswill once again reject being numbered andtracked?
THE MIDDLE EASTIn spite o Hamas adamant reusal to
recognize Israels right to exist, the interna-tional community continues its ull-court-press to move Middle East peace talks or-ward. Te first ace-to-ace trilateral summit
in six years was held on February 19th whenU.S. Secretary o State Condoleezza Rice,Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas andIsraeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert met todiscuss the possibilities or peace. Te onlysuccess announced rom the meeting wasthe agreement to meet again.
Te international slogan adopted by theworld community or the Middle East is
two states living side-by-side in peace andsecurity. Since Hamas controls the Pal-estinian government and since its chartercalls or the annihilation o the state o Is-rael, many have thought these peace effortsto be utile.
However, a new approach to peace hasrecently suraced. It has been proposed
that Israel unilaterally withdraw rom theWest Bank, inviting the European Unionto occupy the area until a reliable Palestin-ian government can be put in place. Tiswould allow Israel to escape internationalcondemnation because o its illegal oc-cupation, and Europe could protect Israelrom the incessant rocket attacks rom the
Palestinians.Tis proposal will ultimately lead Israel
to Armageddon!n
Nukes, IDs & ArmageddonAs Americas stake in Iraq continues to escalate, other prophetic
fulfillments move steadily forward.

Letters and FeedbackSOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER =
MARK OF THE BEAST?How can a person be sure that the Social
Security Number is not the Mark of the
Beast described in Revelation 13:16?
- Lloyd
REPLY | The true tests lie in Revelation 13and its definition of the mark of the beast:
Revelation 13 says that the mark of the beast
system will be:
Worldwide - Verse 16, along with the con-
text of the chapter, which is the antichrists
rule and the one world government.
The mark will be in the right hand or theforehead - Verse 16
Without it we cannot buy or sell - Verse 17
So, lets compare these Biblical criteria to
the SSN:
The SSN is a US only program, though oth-
er countries have similar programs.
Currently, the SSN isnt applied to the right
hand or forehead.
Although working and operating in this
nation without a SSN is difficult, it is still
possible to buy and sell.
That said, though we can safely say that the
Social Security Number is not the mark of the
beast, systems like it, along with the National
ID, are definitely taking us closer to its fulfill-
ment - rapidly.
DANIELS 70TH WEEK
What is the significance of the extended
period of time after the the mid-point of
Daniels Seventieth Week? I am of the un-
derstanding that Daniels Seventieth Week
is broken into two segments of 1260 days
with the Abomination that maketh Deso-
late transpiring at the break point. Is my
understanding incorrect?
- Virgil
REPLY | You are correct that Daniels 70thweek is divided into two equal periods of 3 1/2
years (42 months, 1260 days). We know from
Dan 9:27 that the midpoint is the abomina-
tion of desolation. We read of this division in
numerous places, including Rev 11:2-3, Rev
12:6, and Rev 13:5. In Daniel 12:7, we find
the same period of time being referred to as
time, times, and an half . The same terminol-
ogy is also used in Rev 12:14.
According to Jesus statement in Matthew
24:15-21, we understand that this latter 3 1/2
years of Daniels 70th Week is the Great Tribu-
lation. Notice that in verse 15, He says, When
ye therefore shall see the abomination of
desolation. In v21, He says, For then shall begreat tribulation...
STOCK MARKETS TO MERGE...
ANOTHER STEP?
I was wondering what you made of the
stock markets merging together (Tokyo
and NYSE - http://www.msnbc.msn.com/
id/16786542/), how this renders the SEC
and the US Government impotent over
our companies, currency, and eventually
economy? It seems like this is another pre-
cursor to the one-world government, and
that we would be told the world govern-ment is needed to oversee and regulate
these global international institutions and
companies.
- Andy
REPLY |This is a huge sign of the advanceof world government. Globalists say that in
order to have peace and security, we must
have a one world political system, a one
world economy and a one world religion. The
development of a global stock market is a key
component to the one world economy.
TIMING OF REVELATION 21:1
I am trying to put Rev 21:1 on the timeline:
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth,
for the first heaven and the first earth were
passed away, and there was no more sea.
Does this take place at the beginning of the
1000 years or at the end?
- Brian
REPLY |Many believe that this set of eventsfollows the millenium. This conclusion is
reached, in part, because Revelation 21 fol-
lows Revelation 20.
However, if we compare the statements of
Revelation 21 with those of 2 Peter 3, we find

that both passages are referring to the same
set of events. 2 Peter 3 speaks of:
The old heavens and earth being destroyed
- 2 Peter 3:10-12
A new heaven and a new earth - 2 Peter
3:13
WHEN DO THESE EVENTS HAPPEN?
2 Peter 3:10 says they happen at the day of
the Lord. 2 Peter 3:12 says that they hap-pen at the day of God. Both of these terms
are used in connection with the coming of
the Lord and the Battle of Armageddon (1
Thess 5:2, Rev 16:14).
So, Revelation 21:1 occurs at the beginning
of the 1000 year reign of Christ.
FIGHTING THE NATIONAL ID
I have been listening the last few days to
the discussions about the possiblities of
the government chipping us. What do we
do?
- Scott
REPLY |Well, first and foremost, we need tobe diligent to make our calling and election
sure (2 Peter 1:10). Far ecclipsing anything
else, is the importance of making sure we are
daily walking with God.
After that, we need to focus our energies on
spreading the Gospel to every creature
(Mark 16:15). Our world desperately needs to
hear the message that we are in the end times,
and that our only hope is in Jesus Christ.
Please visit www.nonationalid.com. On this
website, you will find the No National ID
pledge, as well as a place to sign up for End-
times weekly newsletter. Signing the pledge
will add your voice to the many who have
said that the citizens of the United States
dont want a National ID. Signing up for the
newsletter will help Endtime keep you in-
formed as this issue continues to develop.
Pray for our nation. Our nations only hope is
that it will re-awaken to God and the things
of God. If God will help our nation, it is pos-
sible that we could defeat the National ID in
the United States.
DID JOHN UNDERSTAND
WHAT HE WROTE?
Ive heard you say that John died, not un-
derstanding his own book of Revelation
and that it was only meant to be under-
stood by the generation of the time of the
end. Will you tell me where that scripture
is in the Bible? Thank you so much! I love
your show and your ministry!
- Chris
REPLY | Irvin has said that Daniel did notunderstand his own writings, and that they
were sealed up until the time of the end. Dan-
iel 12:4 and Daniel 12:9 tell us that Daniel
was commanded to seal up his writings until
the time of the end. Daniel was told that the
words he wrote were closed and sealed un-
til the end times.
Nothing in Revelation says exactly the same
thing about all of Johns writings. John was
told to seal up the things that the seven thun-ders uttered and to not write them (Rev. 10:3-
4). However, he is told not to seal up the say-
ings of the rest of the book (Rev 22:10).
Does this mean that he understood every-
thing he wrote? The intuitive answer is no.
Whereas John was writing about things that
hadnt happened yet, and wouldnt happen
until long after his death, it is hard to imagine
how he could have understood everything
that he saw.

REPLY |We are thankful to hear that End-time materials are making a difference with
the inmates in Monroe. Thank you for help-
ing us get the materials to the inmates and
thanks to our partners for making it possible.
PETS IN DANGER OF DAMNATION?
I have a question about pets. With all the
animal-chipping, will any of those chips
ever become the actual mark of the beast,
damning our pets for eternity? I hope and
pray not! Although I wouldnt think animals
can be damned, I am very concerned aboutthis because I love my pets as if they were
my children. Thank you.
- Carl
REPLY | When the scripture speaks aboutthe mark of the beast in the book of Revela-
tion, it only refers to human beings, and the
consequences to them. Please note the fol-
lowing:
Rev 13:17 says, that no man might buy or
sell save he that had the mark... The scrip-
ture refers specifically to human beings, andto the process of conducting buying and
selling, something our pets cannot do.
Rev 16:2 says that the angel went and
poured his vial (of Gods wrath) on the men
which had the mark of the beast. It speaks
specifically of human beings, not animals.
However, we also need to consider something
else. The whole issue of sin, judgment, salva-
tion, and damnation is one that pertains
strictly to human beings, not to animals. The
whole reason Jesus came and died for us
was because of sin that human beings, who
were made in the image of God, committed.
In the beginning, it was Adam and Eve (hu-
man beings) who sinned against God, and
were separated from Him (Genesis 3). As a
result, God Himself took on the form of man
to redeem Adams descendants (human be-
ings) back to Him (Romans 5). I find nowhere
in scripture where God speaks of animals
being either saved or damned. This makes
sense, since they never sinned against God.
The Bible does teach that all of creation was
affected by the fall of man (Gen. 3, Rom. 8),
but it doesnt teach that anybody but human
beings are in need of the plan of salvation or
are in risk of damnation.n

u6TH TRUMPET WATCH
WORLD WAR III HAS ALREADY BEGUN,
SAYS ISRAELI SPY CHIEF
According to the former head of Israels in-
telligence service Mossad, Efraim Halevy,
a third World War is already underway be-
tween Islamic militancy and the West. Dur-
ing World War I and II the entire world felt
there was a war going on, but the world
doesnt feel that today, said Halevy. From
time to time there is a terrorist attack and
then everything stays the same. Halevypredicts it will take a minimum of 25 years
before the battle against Islamic fundamen-
talist terrorism is won and during this time a
nuclear strike by Islamic militants is likely.
U.S. STRIKE GROUP TRANSITS
SUEZ CANAL
A U.S. Navy strike group led by the assault
ship USS Bataan has passed through the
Suez Canal on its way to join a buildup of
American forces in the Middle East. The
seven-vessel Bataan group is said to in-
clude 2,200 U.S. Marines and sailors, he-
licopters and Harrier fighter jets. The U.S.
Fifth Fleet will be overseeing around 50
warships in the Mideast after the arrival of
the Bataan and an American aircraft car-
rier group according to U.S. Navy Lt. Cmdr.
Charlie Brown. The carrier USS Dwight D.
Eisenhower is already in the region. The
United States has not had two carriers in
the Mideast since 2003.
REPORT: N. KOREA HELPING IRAN
GET NUKES
As reported in the Daily Telegraph, North
Korea and Iran are cooperating on Irans
nuclear program. According to a new
agreement between the two countries,
North Korea has been passing over techni-
cal information from its nuclear test that
was conducted last fall. Western officials
fear this new cooperation amongst the
axis of evil countries could enable Iran to
carry out a nuclear test later this year.
U.S. MULLS IRAN ATTACK IN EARLY 2007
According to Diplomatic sources, the Bush
administration has raised the prospect of aU.S. strike on Iran this year. There has not
been a U.S. commitment, but the discus-
sions have been interpreted as an expres-
sion of intent, the sources said.
DOOMSDAY CLOCK TICKS CLOSER
TO ARMAGEDDON
The Nobel laureate scientist Stephen Hawk-
ing has warned that the world is on the
brink of a second nuclear age. The University
of Cambridge mathematicians comments
came as the time on the doomsday clock,
which counts down to nuclear Armageddon,
was moved two minutes closer to midnight.
Since 1947, the clock - with midnight repre-
senting nuclear apocalypse - has appeared
on the cover of the Bulletin of the Atomic
Scientists. The position of the clocks hand
was moved to five minutes before midnight
on Wednesday, January 17, 2007.
THINK TANK SAYS ISRAEL CAPABLE OF
ATTACKING IRANS NUCLEAR PROGRAM
ON ITS OWN
Tel Aviv Universitys Institute for National
Security Studies has said that Iran will
possess nuclear weapons unless military
action is taken against it, and Israel
would be capable of carrying out such
an attack. Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Ol-
mert has not ruled out a military strike,
but has said he hoped other ways could
be found.
SHOWDOWN WITH IRAN
According to Kenneth Timmerman, au-
thor of Countdown to Crisis: the Coming
Nuclear Showdown with Iran, the nuclear
crisis with Iran has finally erupted andthat in the next few months we should ex-
pect the very real possibility of a war that
could spread far beyond the Persian Gulf.
Timmerman says the trigger for the crisis
occurred when the UN Security Council
passed a binding resolution to impose
sanctions on Iran.
AHMADINEJAD: IRAN NOW
NUCLEAR POWER
Iranian president Ahmadinejad is now
saying that Iran is now a nuclear power.
The announcement of Iran as a nuclear
power is bound to significantly escalate
tensions. Ahmadinejad also boasted that
Iranian scientists reached the zenith of sci-
ence and technology and gained access to
the nuclear fuel cycle without the help of
big powers.
N. KOREA DEMANDS TO BE
TREATED AS NUCLEAR POWER
North Korea has opened back up nuclear
arms talks insisting that it be treated as a
full-fledged nuclear power. But the United
States says that time is running out for
Pyongyang to dismantle its nuclear arse-
nal. The U.S. is also threatening more sanc-
tions on the communist regime.
U.S. WARNS OF THREAT TO SATELLITES
The Bush administration is warning of ter-
rorist threats to U.S. commercial and military
satellites. We reserve the right to defend
ourselves against hostile attacks and inter-
ference with our space assets, said Under-
secretary of State Robert G. Joseph. A num-
ber of countries are exploring and acquiring
capabilities to counter, attack, and defeat
U.S. space systems, Joseph said.

uEU WATCH
UN CHIEF, SOLANA DISCUSS
INTERNATIONAL ISSUES
United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-
moon met with European Union foreign
policy chief Javier Solana in Brussels to
discuss a wide range of issues. He said that
the position of the EU and the UN are on
the same page. Solana said the situation inthe Middle East, Balkans, Africa as well as
the issues of non-proliferation, terrorism
and human rights were among the topics
discussed.
THE EUS CONSTITUTION
CONTROVERSY
The Liberals in the European Parliament
have strongly rejected a plan by Spain and
Luxembourg to hold a restricted friends
of the EU constitution meeting. Spain and
Luxembourg deliberately excluded France
and the Netherlands, which rejected thecharter in popular referendums in 2005. An-
drew Duff, Liberal constitutional spokesman
and UK MEP, says that the initiative carries
the serious risk of dividing the union, and
that it is hugely undermining the efforts of
the German presidency, whose duty it is to
come up with proposals to renegotiate the
2004 constitutional treaty.
SOLANA AWARDED
CHARLEMAGNE PRIZE
European Union Security and Foreign Pol-
icy Chief Javier Solana has been awarded
the 2007 Charlemagne prize. The prize is
given to those who make great strides in

uMARK OF THE BEAST WATCH
STATES CHALLENGE NATIONAL
DRIVERS LICENSE
A revolt against a national drivers license,
begun in Maine last month, has been
quickly spreading to other states. The
Maine Legislature overwhelmingly passed
a resolution objecting to the Real ID Act,
and within a week, lawmakers in Georgia,
Wyoming, Montana, New Mexico, Vermont
and Washington State also balked at Real
ID. It is expected that these states will soon
pass laws or adopt resolutions declining
to participate in the federal identification
network. Arizona, Georgia, Hawaii, Massa-
chusetts, Missouri, New Hampshire, Okla-
homa, Utah and Wyoming all have active
legislation against Real ID. Missouri State
Rep. James Guest has formed a coalition of
lawmakers from 34 states to file bills that
oppose or protest Real ID.
PAN-EU POLICE DATABASES
BACKED BY GERMANYGermany is pushing for Union-wide rules
entailing national police operating across
borders and the sharing of DNA informa-
tion. The aim is to create a modern police
information network throughout Europe,
according to German Interior Minister Wolf-
gang Schuble. His hope is that legislation for
it will be in place by July 2007, when the EU
Presidency will be handed over to Portugal.
HUMAN ID IMPLANT TO BE
UNVEILED SOON
A working prototype of an implant designed
to monitor the physiology and whereabouts
of human wearers, known as Digital Angel,
is scheduled to be unveiled later this year at
an invitation-only event in New York City. In
addition to monitoring physiological data,
the device will be marketed as a means of
verifying online consumer identity. There
are also hopes that Digital Angel will tap
into the preventative medicine market with
its ability to monitor body functions such as
temperature, heartbeat and specific needs
such as insulin levels.
VERICHIP AWARDED U.S. PATENT FOR
PORTABLE RFID ASSET TRACKING SYSTEM
VeriChip Corporation has been granted a
patent for its portable RFID asset location
system. The patent combines RFID tagging
technology with a portable receiver to track
the location of assets within a fixed setting,
such as a building. Rather than relying on a
network of fixed receivers, the asset loca-
tion system collects RFID messages, which
the system uses to identify the unique ID
of the asset as well as its room location. By
not requiring the installation of numerous
fixed receivers, such a system could lower
the cost of implementing RFID technology.
RFID PASSPORTS CLONED IN FIVE
MINUTESNew passports using radio frequency iden-
tification (RFID) chips can be cloned in less
than five minutes according to two tech-
nology consultants. Lukas Grunwald and
Christian Bottger bought an RFID reader
on eBay and developed software that pro-
vides a blank chip in which cloned data can
be copied onto.
uMIDDLE EAST WATCH
NSC SEEKS TO PLACE ISRAEL IN NATO
In an effort to establish more effective
deterrence in the face of Irans race to obtain
nuclear weapons, Israeli government minis-
tries are, for the first time, working on draft-
ing a position paper for turning Israel into a
full-fledged member of NATO. The Spanish
Prime Minister, Jose Maria Aznar, has said
that Israel needs to join NATO as soon as
possible. The former Spanish leader and
current president of the FAES Spanish think
tank said that if Israel became a member of
NATO, the perception in Iran would change
because Iran would be dealing with all of
NATO rather than Israel alone.

GLOBAL COURT CONFIRMS FIRST TRIAL
The International Criminal Court (ICC) has
ruled that there was enough evidence
against a Congolese militiaman to launch
the new courts first trial. The decision to
confirm charges and pave the way for a
trial is a major landmark for the ICC, which
was set up as the first permanent global
war crimes court in 2002. The court that
issued its first arrest warrants in 2005. The
ICC Chief Prosecutor, Luis Moreno-Ocam-

B
ut, believe it or not, there is a bright side, a very bright side. It
is at Armageddon that the kingdoms o this world become thekingdoms o our Lord and His Christ (Revelation 11:15). Tis
is the time when the ailed human governments o this earth will beabolished, and we will crown Jesus King o kings and Lord o lords.
Te Jewish people will bear the brunt o the Battle o Armaged-don. Scripture indicates that one-third o Israel could possibly be de-stroyed in that battle. On the other hand, it is at Armageddon that theJewish nation will end its 4,000-year search or the Messiah.
Zechariah 14:3-4 indicates that Jesus will intervene on Israels be-hal and that He will actually stand on the Mount o Olives. It is atthat time that Israel will rush to the Mount o Olives to greet Him!According to Zechariah 13:6, they will notice the nail scars in Hishands and eet and will ask how they got there. Te answer will re-move the veil rom Israels eyes, and the entire nation will embraceJesus as their Messiah and their Lord.
What an incredible turn o events! One minute, Israel will be fight-ing or her very existence. Te next minute, she will be glorying in the
ace-to-ace introduction to her Messiah!
It is also at Armageddon that the tyrannical one-world governmento the Antichrist will be destroyed. At this same time, the Antichristand the False Prophet will be cast alive into the lake o fire.
Another major event that happens at this time is described in Mat-thew 24:30-31, And then shall appear the sign o the Son o man inheaven: and then shall all the tribes o the earth mourn, and theyshall see the Son o man coming in the clouds o heaven with powerand great glory. And he shall send His angels with a great sound o a
trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect rom the our winds,rom one end o heaven to the other.
So, as you can see, not all is doom and gloom when we think oArmageddon. Yes, tragic things will occur there. But absolutely won-derul things will happen there as well.
Te next time you think o Armageddon, look beyond the cata-strophic events that are destined to occur. Know that it is at Arma-
geddon that the Old World Order will be abolished and the true NewWorld Order o Jesus Christ will be permanently ushered in.n

Ill never forgetthe first timein 1991 when I saw the pictures of the oil-
blackened skies of Kuwait. Saddam Hussein
had set 700 of the worlds richest oil wells
ablaze as he was being forced to withdraw
from the land he had invaded. The pictures
were of Kuwait at noon, but it looked like
midnight. Immediately the prophecy came tomind:
And the fifh angel sounded, and I saw a star all rom heaven untothe earth: and to him was given the key o the bottomless pit. And heopened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out o the pit, asthe smoke o a great urnace; and the sun and the air were darkenedby reason o the smoke o the pit (Revelation 9:1-2).
Firefighting specialists rom all over the world converged on Ku-
wait to fight the blazing oil fires. Te skies o Kuwait hung heavy withthe thick black smoke. Te sun was not seen there or the next threemonths. I remember thinking, Tis certainly looks like the proph-ecy, but surely not At the time, I was under the impression that theprophecies o the Seven rumpets could not come to pass until thetime o the great tribulation. I now know that the first six trumpetsmust occur beore the final three and one-hal years o great tribula-tion begins. Tis can be proven rom the scriptures.
Te prophecy went on to say that locusts came out o the smoke.Tese locusts had aces as men, breastplates o iron, and their stingswere in their tails. It also states that the sound o their wings was asthe sound o chariots o many horses running to battle. Locusts withbreastplates o iron and the aces o men? Te sound o their wings asthe sound o many horses running to battle? I a person saw a visiono helicopters or jet airplanes in 95 AD, is there a chance he woulddescribe them in this way?
Te prophecy concludes by saying that the armies had a king overthem, which is the angel o the bottomless pit, whose name in the He-brew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apol-lyon. Te meaning o both Abaddon and Apollyon is destroyer.
Saddam the destroyer HusseinAs I pondered all o these possibilities, an article rom the Ger-
man ribune (March 10, 1991), added uel to the fire. Te article was
reporting on the Gul War and the terrible devastation being causedby Saddam Hussein. Te writer reerred to him as Saddam the de-stroyer Hussein.
Knowing that Apollyon and Abaddon meant destroyer, I had toask mysel: Could I be watching the unolding o the 5th rumpet?At the time, I thought, Surely not. But still, I saved the pictures othe blackened skies o Kuwait at noonday, and I saved the German
ribune article about Saddam the destroyer Hussein.Six years later, the Jerusalem Post (December 13, 1997), arrived at
my home. It contained an interesting interview with the last Jewishamily that had lef Baghdad and had just arrived in Jerusalem. In thearticle, the wie o the amily was recounting an interesting experi-ence concerning the birth o Saddam Hussein.
When carrying Saddam, his mother was having a terrible pregnancy.
Te Iraqi doctors advised an abortion. Saddams mother, not wanting anabortion, moved to the Jewish sector o Baghdad where the finest doctorsin Iraq lived. Te Jewish doctors nursed her through her pregnancy.
When the baby boy was finally born, his mother decided to namehim Saddam, which means destroyer in Arabic, because he had al-most destroyed her. Reading this story, I remembered the German
ribune article six years earlier that had reerred to Saddam the de-stroyer Hussein.Digging deeper, I ound that the name Saddam is defined as: one
who conronts; crusher; or destroyer. In the Epoch imes on July 4,2005, Iraqis were shown carrying signs o Saddam Hussein with themessage written, We demand the trial o Saddam the destroyer. Inan article entitled, Activists are wrong to protest war against SaddamHusseins brutality, the ollowing statement was made: Tis is whatwe were fighting against. We were fighting Saddam, the destroyer.
(Te ech, March 5, 1991)
The destroyer is deadAfer a lengthy and chaotic trial, Saddam Hussein was hanged just
beore dawn on Saturday morning, December 30, 2006. I SaddamHussein was, in act, the destroyer o the 5th rumpet, it would cer-tainly appear that his death signaled the end o the 5th rumpet era.
Tis being true, what do the prophecies indicate lie ahead?
What comes after the fifth trumpet?Te sounding o the 6th rumpet immediately ollows the sound-
ing o the 5th rumpet in scripture. Te 6th rumpet prophecy is oneo the most catastrophic prophecies o the entire Bible. Te account isound in Revelation 9:13-16.
And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice rom the our hornso the golden altar which is beore God, Saying to the sixth angel which
had the trumpet, Loose the our angels which are bound in the greatriver Euphrates. And the our angels were loosed, which were preparedor an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, or to slay the thirdpart o men. And the number o the army o the horsemen were twohundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number o them.
Two billion will dieTe salient words hit you like a sledgehammer: were prepared
to slay the third part o men. Could that possibly mean what it says?Does this prophecy really oretell the killing o one-third o mankind?As much as I wish it were not true, all the translations o the passageagree. Tis prophecy oretells the destruction o one-third o the 6.7billion human beings on earth.
Where will this war take place?Te prophecy says that our angels (angels are spirits) will be loosed
rom the Euphrates River resulting in the war that kills one-third o

mankind. Te Euphrates River begins in urkey, travels through Syria,and then enters the northern border o Iraq. It then flows all the waythrough the nation o Iraq, emptying into the Persian Gul. Approxi-mately sixty percent o the Euphrates is contained in the nation o Iraq.Te prophecy says this war will emanate rom the Euphrates River. Te
United States has 150,000 troops stationed along the Euphrates at thisvery moment, and we are preparing to send 20,000 more.
Are we already in the beginning o the 6th rumpet War and justdont realize it yet? Remember, the 6th rumpet immediately ollowsthe 5th rumpet. Te 5th rumpet is over and fighting is escalatingalong the Euphrates. Or maybe this is all just one big coincidencea
coincidence prophesied almost 2,000 years ago!
What to do?Te question is not, Will this war take place? Tats a settled issue.
Te prophecies o the Bible always come to pass. Te critical questionis, What should each o us do to prepare?
It seems certain that the United States will be a central participantin this Euphrates River War. We already are fighting along the Eu-phrates, and we are possibly the only power on earth with the neces-
sary firepower to kill 2 billion human beings. So what should we do?Is it time to build bomb shelters? Store ood? Move to scarcely pop-
ulated parts o the U.S.? Some people are actually doing these thingsright now. But is this what God would have us do?
Jesus said in Matthew 6:31-33,Tereore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What
shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For afer all thesethings do the Gentiles seek:) or your heavenly Father knoweth that ye
have need o all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom o God, and
his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.What does it mean to seek first the kingdom o God? Jesus said
that except a man is born again, he cannot enter the kingdom o God.When we are born again, we are born into eternal lie. Once we knowthat we have eternal lie, the ear o death through the coming war
or rom any other source is removed. (For Endtimes ree brochureentitled What do you meanBorn Again, go to www.endtime.com,or call 1-800-ENDIME.)
Once our eternal destination is settled, we can turn our attentionto helping the 2 billion people who will soon be snatched out intoeternity by the impending war. Since we cant predict which 2 bil-
lion will be killed, we need to reach every person on earth with theoffer o eternal lie through Jesus Christ. Jesus said, I must be aboutmy Fathers business. Te Fathers business is to preach the gospel toevery creature.
How long do we have beore the Euphrates River War is unleashedwith all its ury upon mankind? One year? wo years? Not long. Wedbetter get busy!n

Thehard, tight-fisted
knock at thedoor came on aTursday morn-
ing. When Katherina Plett opened the dooro her home in Paderborn, Germany, sheound hersel staring into the ace o an un-dercover police woman. Little did Katherinaknow when she opened the door that secretly
lurking nearby were German officers whowould arrest her and raid her home! Kather-inas crime? Homeschooling.
Germany is presently reinorcing a 1938Hitler-induced law which made home-schooling illegal. When this news came tomy attention, I elt the shock, since my wie
homeschools our three children. It stoppedme in my tracks and orced me to ask, Will
the Anti-Christ be anti-homeschool, and en-
orce international laws, making home basededucation illegal?
INSIDE THE NAZI MIND
In 1938 Nazi Germany passed a law re-quiring all children to attend public schoolto avoid the emergence o parallel societiesbased on separate philosophical convictions.
At the core o their belie system was twistedlogic that says, You cant be trusted to edu-cate your own children because we cannotafford reedom o thought. We have Europeto conquer, better yet; the entire world is inthe palm o our hands. I you think this isa stretch o the truth, study the philosophies
o Adolph Hitler. Even though Hitler was notthe Antichrist, both he and Nazi Germany

oreshadowed the emergence o the utureglobal government.
Early on, Hitler understood the psychol-ogy o propaganda. Tat is why he appointedDr. Paul Joseph Goebbels as his propagandaminister. As a devout anti-Semite, Goebbelstook total control o the media and developed
it into a mouthpiece or Nazi philosophy. Heemployed argumentum ad nauseam, thepractice o repeating a lie until it eventuallyis believed to be true. He so mastered it untilit eventually became known as the Goebbeltechnique. o make sure every home wasproperly programmed with Nazi ideology,he ordered the broadcasting o Nazi propa-
ganda to the masses, all the while blockingout news rom other countries. Any poten-tial threat to their influence was outlawed.Is it any wonder that homeschooling wasoutlawed? Te propaganda ministry couldnot achieve its goal o total conquest i theeducational system was not completely con-trolled. Simply put, no matter how large the
megaphone o propaganda, it could not be acomplete success i parents were allowed toraise ree-thinkers who might influence soci-ety contrary to Hitlers agenda.
With the influence o homeschooling andother contrary influences out o the way,Hitler was able to hypnotize Germany into
embracing Social Darwinism. Tis was theethical theory, birthed by Herbert Spencer,
which taught that the strong should thrive atthe expense o the weak. o them, this justi-fied their engagement o eugenics, the studyo hereditary improvement o the human raceby controlled selective breeding. Tis led toorcing people to undergo surgical steriliza-tion to prevent people, considered to be car-
riers o undesirable genetic traits, rom hav-ing children. Tis resulted in people like Dr.Jose Mengele carrying out brutal medicalexperiments on human subjects at Auschwitz.Forcing people into pressure chambers andreezing them to death was just part o theirattempt at making sure the Nazi party did notlose its monopoly o power. As reinorcement,
Hitler established and deployed the Schutz-staffel (SS) or protection squad to carry outtheir genocidal dreams, murdering 11 millioninnocent people, 6 million o whom were Jew-ish. Since Hitler was not the Antichrist, justhow brutal will the real beast be?
EUROPEAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS =
GLOBAL GOVERNMENT
I you are not sure i world government isgaining strength in Europe today, considerthe actions o the European Court o HumanRights (ECHR), headquartered in Strasbourg,France. One couple who elt the sting o theirpower was Fritz and Marianna Konrad who
discovered their children were being orce-ed corrupt teachings about sexuality. Te

Konrads filed a complaint with this courtwhich stated that Germanys law, which orcespublic school attendance, jeopardized theirchildrens religious belies. Te court ruledthat the parents desire to exclude their chil-dren rom such influence could not dominatethe need or mandatory school attendance. Inother words, We cannot allow your religious
belies to upset our quest or mind condition-
ing. Shouldnt the very court which claims todeend human rights in its name have cometo the Konrads deense? Can you imagine thedeep disappointment and rejection the Kon-rads elt afer such cold denial?
As another example o the death grip worldgovernment structures like the ECHR has in
Europe, consider this: In Brussels, Belgium,the editor o Te Brussels Journal website wascalled into the police station. Tey said, TeBelgian authorities are o the opinion that, as ahomeschooler, he has not adequately educatedhis children and, hence, is neglecting his duty
as a parent, which is a criminal offence. Tisincident leaves us with the impression that theECHR does not ully protect European citi-zens against Hitlers laws.
Another case in Germany involves a15-year-old homeschool student, MelissaBusekros. She was seized rom her home bypolice and taken to a psychiatric institution.She was then removed rom the institution
and taken to an undisclosed location. As othis writing, German officials have reused to
inorm Melissas parents o her location. Citi-zens are not seeing this case being reportedby their German news agencies. Netzwerk-Bildungsreieit, a German homeschooladvocacy group, said Germany blatantlyspurns parental and human rights and can-not be regarded any longer as a ree country.It is running more and more to tyranny and
dictatorship. Didnt Nazism die in 1945?
THE UNITED NATIONS CONVENTION ON
THE RIGHTS OF THE CHILD

lie in society, and brought up in the spirit othe ideals proclaimed in the Charter o theUnited Nations.as indicated in the Dec-laration o the Rights o the Child, the childneeds special saeguards and care, includingappropriate legal protection. Legal protec-

resist their parents religious guidance.According to Farris, in 1995 the UK wasdeclared out o compliance with the UNCRC,Because it allowed parents to remove theirchildren rom public school sex-educationclasses without consulting the child. Farrisalso said, By the same reasoning, parentswould be denied the ability to homeschooltheir children. Could this be a display o
an even larger scheme: a global initiative toparalyze undamental parental control?
AMERICAN HOMESCHOOLERS AT RISK?
In 1925, the United States Supreme Courtunanimously declared that the undamen-tal theory o liberty upon which all govern-ments in this Union repose excludes any
general power o the State to standardize itschildren by orcing them to accept instruc-tion rom public teachers only. Yeah, but aUS president would never allow a one-worldgovernment to infiltrate the sovereignty oAmerica, some would say. Tese overseasreports about homeschoolers being arrestedwont affect Americans, so we can breathe a
sigh o relie. Oh really? Te Clinton ad-ministration attempted to make ratificationo the UNCRC treaty a major policy objec-tive. It was signed by Madeleine Albright, theU.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, onFebruary 16, 1995. However, they ailed toachieve a two-thirds majority o the Senate.Hillary Rodham Clinton is a ormer chair-
man o the Washington-based ChildrensDeense Fund. As such she supported theradical legal doctrine o childrens rights andpromoted this U.N. Convention. Rememberher book, It akes A Village? Te conceptbehind this book is that its too tough orthe traditional amily to raise kids in todays
world and that the village or society shouldclaim control. Is America at risk? You have
heard the evidence. Even i Hillary Clintondoes not win the presidency in 2008, thereare many more like her who share her views.
Does America have guaranteed protectionrom the potential dangers o the UNCRC?Farris said that the UNCRC could renderhomeschooling unlawul in the United States,even though the U.S. Senate has never autho-rized this Convention. Ferris proclaimed, I
the international law movement is not cur-tailed in the United States, American home-schooling will be banned.
THE PROPHECY CONNECTION
Daniel 7 and Revelation 13 harmonize,providing us with animal symbols which rep-resent nations that will exist in the last days.
Daniel saw a lion with eagles wings, a bear,a leopard with our heads, and a ten-hornedbeast. Tese 4 kingdoms came together inRevelation as a unified beast, giving the Anti-christ unprecedented global power. Te leop-ard portion o this beast represents Germany.Te our leopard heads represent how manytimes Germany rose and ell. Hitler ruled
during the amous 3rd Reich (head). NaziGermany was deeated by the Allied armiesduring WWII and divided into occupationzones. Te Berlin wall was constructed; di-viding East rom West, ulfilling the first parto Rev. 13:3 which states that one o his headswas wounded to death.
Tere is more to the story. Te same verse
also states that the deadly wound was healed.In 1989, the Berlin Wall came down and thedeadly wound was healed. Daniel 7:6 saysthat dominion was given to the leopard. Asthe most powerul economy in the EuropeanUnion, is it any wonder this renewed powercould be going to Germany? Germany cur-
rently holds the brie six month EU presi-dency. Germanys president, Angela Merkel
has made the passing o the EU constitutionher top goal. Te re-birth o the Holy RomanEmpire is in the making. Prophecy gives usinsight that the Antichrist will arise rom are-born Holy Roman Empire. It is no wonderthat we are able to trace the seed o opposi-tion to homeschooling to the very heart o theAntichrists power. Global thinkers recognizethat i they are to achieve their dream o one-
world government, they must orce all citizensto behave globally. Tis explains why modernGerman and Belgian police are orcibly takingchildren away rom their parents and haulingthem off to attend state-run schools.
THE REAL FORCE BEHIND
GLOBAL GOVERNMENT
Revelation 13:2 reveals the secret o powerbehind the dominating global governmentbeast: and the dragon (Satan) gave him (theone-world government beast) his power,and his seat, and great authority. Will theAntichrist be Anti-homeschool? As a manpossessed by Satan himsel, will he have achoice? Are we staring into the eyes o a hid-
eous monster who is about to emerge roma lair darker than Hitlers? As the beast oRevelation rises and the world looks on withwonder and amazement, we should not besurprised when he targets our dearest andmost precious commodity: our children. Dowe value the reedom to choose how we edu-cate them? Will the Antichrist be anti-home-
school? Since actual evidence reveals thatworld government structures, over which theAnti-Christ will rule, are anti-homeschool,the answer is likely to be yes. It wont, howev-er, be without a fight. With approximately 1.6to 2.0 million children being homeschooledin America, the global powers that be, will
most assuredly be aware o our presence. I,or one, plan to take a stand or reedom!n

Unortunately, Bible prophecy doesnot always produce this effect.Historically, peoples response toprophecy has been mixed; some
have responded negatively while others haveresponded positively. Te Bible not only re-cords many prophecies o soon to be ulfilledevents, it also gives us examples o mankindsresponse to the prophecies, rom which wecan learn valuable lessons.
Negative responsesUnbelief- 2 Kings 7 records a time in Is-
raels history where Israel was suffering greatdifficulties. Te nation was enduring a am-ine so severe that people were eating donkeysheads, bird dung, and even their own chil-
dren. At the same time, they were besiegedby their enemy, the Syrians. Obviously thiswas not a time o rejoicing in Israel. In themidst o their trouble, God sent the prophetElisha to tell the king o a great provision oood that would be given the ollowing day.Unortunately, one o the kings servants flat-
ly reused to believe the prophecy given byElisha. It sounded too good to be true, so he
rejected it. His response displeased God, andthis man who couldnt believe, died beore hecould partake o the prophecys ulfillment.
Lack of spiritual awareness - WhenJesus was speaking to the religious expertso His day, he contended with their lack oability to recognize that prophecy was beingulfilled all around them. With grie, He saidto them, O ye hypocrites, ye can discern theace o the sky; but can ye not discern the
signs o the times? Matthew 16:3. Stand-ing in ront o them was the ulfillment o all
BIBLEPROPHECY
It gives us a picture of future events, not to generate
fear and panic,but to produce faith, anticipation, and joy in
our lives.Jesus said, when foretelling the manner of His betrayal, Now I
tell you before it come, that, when it is come to pass, ye may
believe that I am he. John 13:19.
HOW DO IRESPOND?Bible prophecyis a gift fromGod to us.

the Messianic prophecies they had learnedrom their youth, but they didnt recognizeHim (John 1:10-11). God had given Hispeople signs to indicate the manner and timeo His coming into the world, so that theymight receive Him with joy. However, theirspiritual condition orbad it. Teir blindnesscaused Jesus to weep over Jerusalem, oretell-
ing its destruction, or no other reason but
that, thou knewest not the time o thy visita-tion. Luke 19:44
Wrong motives - At the birth o JesusChrist, King Herod, who by the wise menound out that Messiah was born, called theBible prophecy experts (the chie priests and
scribes) to obtain more inormation aboutthe oretold event. He wanted to know wherethe Messiah would be born. On the surace,it looked like Herod was hungry or truth.However, when we read urther in the ac-count o Matthew 2, we find that Herods
true intention was to kill the child. He only
wanted to know more about Bible prophecyto urther his own political ambitions.
Tese accounts o negative responses toprophecy offer a warning to us who live onthe cusp o the Lords return. We must avoidunbelie, lack o spiritual awareness, and mis-
guided motives in our handling o this gif oBible prophecy. Te New estament warnsus against negative responses to His prom-ises. 2 Peter 3:3-4 tells us that in the last days,there will be scoffers who ask, Where is thepromise o his coming? For since the athersell asleep, all things continue as they wererom the beginning o the creation In other
words, Ive heard about the Second Comingall o my lie, it sounds too good to be true,and I dont believe it. Nevertheless, God hasgiven us the promise o His soon return, thatwe may look to it with aith, expectation, andrejoicing. Tankully, the Bible records ex-amples o these positive responses as well.
Positive responsesFaith in God- When Abraham was more
than seventy five years old, God spoke to himand promised him a child (Genesis 15). Likethe promise o ood during a amine, it sound-ed too good to be true. However, Abrahamsresponse was one o aith. Te Bible says, He
believed in the LORD, and he counted it tohim or righteousness. Genesis 15:6. Te
seeming impossibility o the promise had nobearing on Abrahams response. Being notweak in aith, he considered not his own bodynow deadhe staggered not at the promiseo God through unbelie; but was strong inaith, giving glory to God; And being ully
persuaded that, what he had promised, hewas able also to perorm. Romans 4:19-21.Abraham was convinced that God would dowhatever He had promised.
Hope and expectation Luke 2 tells oa man named Simeon. He isnt described asamous, rich, influential, or powerul. Te
Bible simply says that he was just and de-vout and was waiting or the consolationo Israel; and the Holy Ghost was upon him. Luke 2:25. While others around him wereblind to the coming o their Savior, Simeonwas eagerly awaiting it. He, unlike some ohis more esteemed counterparts, was spiri-tually aware that the coming o Messiah was
near. Te Bible says that the Holy Ghost hadrevealed to him that he would not die untilhe had seen the promised Christ. When theinant Jesus was brought to the temple ordedication, Simeon immediately recognizedHim, not because Jesus entered the templewith anare, but because Simeons hope and
expectation allowed him to recognize theulfillment o Gods promises. In like man-
ner, the Bible promises that at His return, Je-sus will appear to, them that look or Him. Hebrews 9:28.
Motivated to action Noah, whenwarned o God o the coming flood, not only
heard and believed God, but took the actionGod expected rom Him (Genesis 6). He im-mediately set out to build the ark in the man-ner God specified, so that he could not onlysave himsel, but his amily as well (Hebrews11:7). His belie in Gods promise motivatedhim to action or himsel, and or those heloved. It mattered not whether the crowd
believed his preaching; his course remainedone o obedience to God.
God, in His goodness, has given us a Biblethat contains an increasingly clear picture othe events that will attend His soon coming.What is our response to His kindness? TeBible records the various ways that peoplehave responded to prophecy in times past.
Some have responded with unbelie andskepticism, while others have respondedwith aith and hope. As endtime propheticevents are being ulfilled all around us, mayGod help each o us to respond with attitudesand actions that demonstrate our eagernessto see His return. Even so, come Lord Jesus.n
God has given us the promise of His soon
return, that we may look to it with faith,
expectation, and rejoicing.

PredestinationForeknowledeFreewill.Do we really have a choice, or are we mere puppets in a much largerscheme o things? Te coming world governmentInteraithismthe Middle Easta cashless societywho is causing these things tohappen? Is it God? Satan? Or man himsel? It has been widely taughtin some Christian circles that we are not in control o our own des-tiny; but rather, our ate has been predetermined. It is sealed in con-
crete, and there is nothing we can do about it. Furthermore, we dont
know what that ate is, and so we must muddle through lie hopingthat we are one o the ew who have been chosen.
Predestination vs. freewill
Te teaching on predestination is rooted in the assumption thatthere has always been a righteous seed and a wicked seed, dating allthe way back to Adam and Eve. It is believed that the seed o Cain is
the wicked seed and Abel the righteous seed. Afer Abels death, Sethassumed the righteous line. I you are o that seed, then you will cometo the saving knowledge o Christ. I not, there is nothing you can doabout it. Your ate is sealed.
Te teaching o predestination destroys the Biblical principle oreewill. From the gospels through the book o Revelation, scriptureclearly tells us that whosoever will, let him come. Jesus said (Mark8:35), For whosoever will save his lie shall lose it; but whosoever
shall lose his lie or my sake and the gospels, the same shall save it.Te same concept is echoed at the end o Revelation, which says, Lethim that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. Andwhosoever will, let him take the water o lie reely (22:17). Te issueis our will, not the luck o the draw.
Yet the Bible does reer to predestination. Romans 8:29 says, Forwhom he did oreknow, he also did predestinate to be conormed to theimage o his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
Predestinated according to foreknowledge
According to the Bible, God knows the end rom the beginning.He knows our thoughts while they are yet aar off. Te question thenis: I God is never wrong, can He oreknow what we will do withoutorcing us to do it?
Tink o it like this: You are sitting on a hilltop looking down on atwo-lane road that curves around the hill. wo cars are going in the
same direction, one trying to pass the other. Due to the curve in theroad, the passing car doesnt see that a car is approaching rom theopposite direction. From your vantagepoint, you oreknow there isgoing to be an accident. You didnt cause it. You didnt have anythingto do with it. Yet you did oreknow it was going to happen. Tis il-lustrates oreknowledge as opposed to predestination. God is able tosee the end rom the beginning, but he does not control or dictate
what our actions are.Deuteronomy 30:19 emphasizes that human beings have the pow-
er o choice. Moses said, I call heaven and earth to record this dayagainst you, that I have set beore you lie and death, blessing andcursing: thereore choose lie, that both thou and thy seed may live.God puts beore us lie and death. It is His will that we choose lie, butit is our choice.
While denying that a person is predestinated to be saved or lost, wemust acknowledge that the Bible does teach predestination only ac-
cording to oreknowledge. Notice Romans 8:29 once again, For whom
he did oreknow, he also did predestinate to be conormed to the imageo his Son. Te key to understanding predestination according to ore-
knowledge is as ollows. God oreknew what we would choose and dorom the beginning o time. Tis did not predestinate anything. How-ever, knowing that each o us had exercised reedom o choice in everysituation, God said, It is good and so be it. Once He saw that justice
had been done in every case, and once He said so be it, then all thingswere predestinated according to oreknowledgethe oreknowledge oGod concerning the choices that we made o our own volition.
The role of Bible prophecy
God Almighty has shared with us some o His oreknowledge. It iscalled Bible prophecy. Amos 3:7 states: Surely the Lord GOD will do
nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.So why has God chosen to make prophecy nearly one-third o the
Bible? Because prophecy ulfilled provides us with a great oundation orour aith. In John 14:29 Jesus said, And now I have told you beore itcome to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe. Jesus addedin Revelation 19:10: Te testimony o Jesus is the spirit o prophecy.
Tere are some prophecies that are set in stone. We know that Is-rael will build a Tird emple. Should we, as Christians, take active
steps to help build it? I do not believe we should because scriptureteaches us that God does not dwell in temples made with hands (Acts7:48). Rather, we should see the ulfillment o this prophecy as prooo the accuracy o Gods word and the nearness o His prophesiedSecond Coming.
What about the United States o America? Should we pray or ourpresident and nation and be politically active? Absolutely. Why? Te
ultimate ate o the United States is not sealed in Bible prophecy. Prayercan change things! Only God knows how it will all turn out. n
