    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.

    joyed. Thank you for your services this year

    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

    working toward the unification of Europe,

    and many see it as being of greater impor-

    tance in Europe than a Nobel Prize.

    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

    tification (RFID) chips can be cloned in less

    than five minutes according to two tech-

    nology consultants. Lukas Grunwald and

    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.

    CONTROVERSY

    A slip of the tongue by Prime Minister Ehud

    Olmert about Israels nuclear policy has bal-

    looned into a domestic crisis. In an interview

    with a German television station Olmertappeared to list Israel among the worlds

    nuclear powers, which violated the coun-

    trys long-standing policy of not officially

    acknowledging that it has atomic weapons.

    uWORLD GOVERNMENT

    U.S.: MORE SANCTIONS IF IRANIAN

    DEFIANCE CONTINUES

    The U.S. State Department says it will push

    for incremental UN Security Council sanc-

    tions against Iran if Teheran authorities

    continued to ignore council demands. Ac-

    cording to spokesman Sean McCormack,

    Iran appears to be continuing down the

    path of isolation by stepped-up installa-

    tion of cascades.

    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-

    po, is also planning to charge suspects

    soon for atrocities in Sudans Darfur region.

    The United States has fiercely opposed the

    ICC, fearing it would be used for politically

    motivated prosecutions of its soldiers and

    citizens, but its hostility to the court has

    been waning.

    United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-

    moon is insisting that the so-called Quar-

    tet, the UN, the U.S., Russia and China, meet

    to resume peace plan talks. Ban spoke to

    Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice several

    times about the Mideast before she left on

    In his last speech to an American audience,

    Secretary-General Kofi Annan said that the

    only way to achieve the key principles of

    international relations is by making the

    best possible use of the United Nations.

    The Secretary-General also offered a chal-

    lenge to the current and future leaders of

    the U.S. to live up to the example set by

    former President Harry Truman, one of the

    founders of the UN. More than ever today

    Americans, like the rest of humanity, need

    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

    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

    With the

    inuence ofhomeschooling

    and othercontrary

    inuences out

    of the way,Hitler was ableto hypnotizeGermany intoembracing

    SocialDarwinism.

    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

    A core value contained in the United Na-tions Convention on the Rights o the Child(UNCRC) states: Considering that the childshould be ully prepared to live an individual

    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-

    tion? Protection rom what? Teir own par-ents? According to Michael Farris, chairmano the American Home School Legal De-ense Association (HSLDA), the Conventionplaces serious restrictions on parents rightsto guide their children. Article 13 states thatparents should be subject to prosecution orany attempt to prevent their children rominteracting with material they deem unac-

    ceptable. When a nation is bound to theUNCRC, children receive legal protection to

    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.

    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
