Costa Rica Community Update
It has been a long, long time since we have sent out any community updates because very little was happening.
The task to get an Intentional Community up and running is a daunting one indeed, and it has been about two years since we have really tried to put something together. Our last attempt almost succeeded, but we lost the option on the land we had found just as people were starting to show interest.
But now, with the worldwide economic crisis as well as the fact that food you buy commercially is generally not fit for human consumption, as well as many other problems of modern city "life," the need to get a self sustaining community in place has never been more urgent.
This is a preliminary email to let you know that we are reactivating this project and are going to use one or two new approaches.
One of the problems with getting a community up and running is a people problem. Sad to say, personality conflicts and disagreements have caused many community start up efforts in Costa Rica to blow up over the years.
I believe I have a way to nip this problem in the bud before it develops into a monster that could destroy the project before it comes into being, as has happened several times to my personal knowledge alone, and has surely caused hundreds if not thousands of failures in Costa Rica alone.
What we need to do is get together a core group of like minded people who are interested in working with us to build the community of our dreams. Over the years, various screening processes have been kicked around, most of which appeared quite promising, but none of which have ever worked out.
Yet, as the global situation gets more dire by the day, the urgency to get this project moving forward again has never been greater. If we don't get off of our rear ends and do something soon, the world situation will slam the door shut on such opportunities, at least for some time.
What I propose is very simple. We need a small, dedicated, core group to make this work. People who are committed to this dream and are willing to work with each other to bring it about. This core group will help to shape the character, vision, and, in fact, everything about our new home.
The simple idea I have is to invite those of you who are willing and able to relocate to Costa Rica NOW to do so. I propose that those coming down rent a house or apartment within a short distance of my location, so that we can have dinners, planning sessions, get togethers, and other social functions several times per week.
We need to get to know each other and get used to working with each other NOW, before the community is born, because, if we can't do that before the community is born, we most certainly can't do it once we have our new dream home.
Some people won't like other people, and some won't be able to work with and integrate into our group. That is human nature, but it's better to find this out BEFORE you invest your money in the community than to find out AFTER.
In other words, the situation I am proposing is a low impact way to find out if you are comfortable with the group BEFORE you make any real commitments or time or money. If someone doesn't fit in with the group or doesn't like the way things are going, it will be easy to leave and find a group you are more compatible with.
Further, if you understand the MasterMind principal and the Law of Attraction, you will already know that the larger the group we have working towards the same goal, the faster and easier it will be to obtain that goal. I will be writing more on these matters in the coming week, both on our community page and in my Costa Rica blog.
Once we have a group dynamic and have formed a MasterMind, then the Law of Attraction will see to it that we attain our goals. But we must be a group with common interests all working towards the same goals. That is the only way this is going to work.
Some of you reading this message subscribed to our autoresponder some time ago. You don't have to do anything to receive further updates, since you are already on this list. Others will be reading this on my blog or on a newsgroup or forum posting.
If you want to receive all of the updates, you need to subscribe to our autoresponder by entering your information at the bottom of the Community Page at So Ya Wanna Move to Costa Rica.
The url to this page is:
http://soyawannamove.com/costarica/wanna13.shtml
I will be sending out another announcement over the weekend or early next week once that page has been updated. We will also figure out how we want to "get together" to discuss these things.
I am considering using a Skype conference or chat once or twice a week, but if there is a better idea, please let me know by filling out a Helpdesk Ticket at the above website..
I look forward to getting this project moving forward, building our future in harmony with nature and ourselves.
Sincerely,
John Allen

Is World War III Starting Now?
Folks, the news this morning of fighting in Georgia between Russia and Georgia is very disturbing indeed.
It was thought that a provoked war with Iran would start things off, but now it looks like the Evil Elite have decided to start it elsewhere.
It must be remembered that the current Georgian "president" was installed as a result of CIA manipulation and interference, to use Georgia as a front line base for the Evil Elite's future plans against Russia.
To try to expand NATO's borders to Russia on all sides is very provocative and dangerous and they know it, but, they are doing this on purpose as part of their ages old game of manipulation and control.
Russia, if left alone, would mind its own business and not bother anyone. A study of Russian history shows that their only concern is security, but they are in a very insecure area, which has been their curse since the beginning of their nation.
But, the Evil Elite's problem with Putin and the Russians is that Russia refuses to cave in to bribes and pressures to allow the corrupt globalist corporations to loot and pillage Russia's oil and other resources, plus Russia has also committed the additional "sin" of accepting payment for its resources, especially oil, in something besides US dollars.
Also, we must not forget that after the fall of the Soviet Union, Chase Manhattan and other arms of the Bankster's Global Octopus tried to install themselves in Russia to rape and pillage the Russian people the same way they have done in almost every other country in the world.
But, Boris Yeltsin put a stop to this, and threw the banksters out of Russia for good, saying "all you have done is to teach our bankers to steal from the people of Russia. We will not tolerate this."
The other sin was when Russia dislodged the corrupt elements of the gigantic Yukos oil conglomerate and put a stop to the worldwide oil interests' attempt to steal Russian oil.
We must also not forget that in the late '80's, the Soviet economy was destroyed by the machinations of the banksters.
So, as I have said in my landmark series on Bible prophecy, "What's Ahead for our Peoples in Bible Prophecy," the corrupt Evil Elites that are in control of our nations are now making their move to remove the last opposition to their lust and greed for money and power.
But, as I state, this last gasp of the "Elite" is doomed to utter failure. They and their schemes for world domination are about to take a very NASTY FALL, and this lame attempt to start a world war is a transparent diversion from the impending implosion of the entire world economy, which they themselves have caused.
This is an age old technique they have used to put the peoples of this planet into total slavery and subjection. They know that desperate people suffering under abject poverty have great anger, and they are experts at diverting this anger and focusing it on scapegoats foreign and domestic. They do this to both sides in the conflict simultaneously, whipping the slaves on both sides into an emotional and "patriotic" frenzy to go out and kill those on the "other side."
Unfortunately, those on both sides of these "conflicts" fail to recognize that there are those at the top pulling the strings on both sides, and making outrageous profits off of the murder and suffering of millions.
While the blood flows on the battle fields, these elite pigs take in profits by the tanker ship full, making money hand over fist off the backs of the dying on "both sides."
It has happened in almost every war down through human history, and forms the sordid TRUTH behind all of the nationalistic jingoism and "patriotism" fomented on both sides, and the stupid sheeple on "both sides" fall for this ruse each and every time, showing that the "intelligence" of the herd simply does not exist.
THIS is the cycle of violence, death, and oppression that YOUR SAVIOR Jesus Christ came to put a stop to once and for all. And, this is why GOD'S PEOPLE ARE COMMANDED TO COME OUT OF THIS SIN SICK AND EVIL WORLD AND NOT PARTICIPATE IN THIS WORLD'S EVIL AND SATANIC WARS.
The Apostle James put it plainly in this way:
Jas 4:1 Where do wars and fightings among you come from? Don't they come from your pleasures that war in your members?
Jas 4:2 You lust, and don't have. You kill, covet, and can't obtain. You fight and make war. You don't have, because you don't ask.
[This shows that we, both collectively as a people and individually, would HAVE EVERYTHING WE DESIRE IF WE WOULD ONLY ASK RIGHTLY! In fact, God is the GIVER OF ALL GOOD THINGS, and wants us all to "prosper and be in health" -- BUT we must ASK HIM FOR IT! There is absolutely NO EXCUSE for our human wars against each other, which play on our individual lusts and evil mind sets. If we had the MIND OF GOD, then there would be no wars -- PERIOD! God's people are COMMANDED to inculcate God's ways into their minds NOW and to SEPARATE THEMSELVES FROM THIS EVIL WORLD AND IT'S SIN SICK AND EVIL SOCIETY AS MUCH AS WE CAN. We are NOT part of this world, it's societies, and it's governments. We are NOT part of this world's evil so called "civilization," which is ruled over by Satan the Devil, who was a murderer and a liar from the beginning, and has inspired HIS WORLD and HIS CIVILIZATION to act in the same wicked and evil ways.]
Jas 4:3 You ask, and don't receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it for your pleasures.
Jas 4:4 You adulterers and adulteresses, don't you know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.
Jas 4:5 Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, "The Spirit who lives in us yearns jealously"?
Jas 4:6 But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, "God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble."
Jas 4:7 Be subject therefore to God. But resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
Jas 4:8 Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
Jas 4:9 Lament, mourn, and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to gloom.
Jas 4:10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he will exalt you.
Jas 4:11 Don't speak against one another, brothers. He who speaks against a brother and judges his brother, speaks against the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law, but a judge.
Jas 4:12 Only one is the lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy. But who are you to judge another?
Jas 4:13 Come now, you who say, "Today or tomorrow let's go into this city, and spend a year there, trade, and make a profit."
Jas 4:14 Whereas you don't know what your life will be like tomorrow. For what is your life? For you are a vapor, that appears for a little time, and then vanishes away.
Jas 4:15 For you ought to say, "If the Lord wills, we will both live, and do this or that."
Jas 4:16 But now you glory in your boasting. All such boasting is evil.
Jas 4:17 To him therefore who knows to do good, and doesn't do it, to him it is sin.
Yes, indeed, this passage cuts to the ROOT of our problems, both individually and as a world. We must ADMIT that WE, OURSELVES, ARE EVIL AND WICKED JUST LIKE THIS SIN SICK AND EVIL WORLD.
Then, we must REPENT of our sins, which means to TURN AROUND THE OTHER WAY AND STOP SINNING! John says in his epistle that "Sin is the transgression of the Law," and of course, God's LAW IS LOVE.
We must "love our neighbor as ourselves." Who is our neighbor? EV3ERY OTHER MAN AND WOMAN ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH -- that's who! So HOW DARE WE HATE OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS? Because Satan and his servants tell us too?
ALL PEOPLE in the world only want to be left alone to live a peaceful life for themselves and their families. It is SATAN, HIS GOVERNMENTS AND HIS SERVANTS who teach mankind the ways of evil, murder, lies, war, and ungodly lusts.
We must COME OUT OF THIS BABYLON of confusion, and LEARN THE WAYS OF PEACE and ally ourselves with THE PRINCE OF PEACE and learn HIS WAYS, and then we ourselves shall have peace, abundance, joy, and love so full that it overflows.
Very soon now, THIS ENTIRE CIVILIZATION IS GOING TO CRASH AND BURN AROUND US!
If we are aligned with it, we will GO DOWN WITH IT, but, if we are aligned with GOD ALMIGHTY, we will have LIFE ETERNAL, and become KINGS AND PRIESTS in the World Tomorrow.
When Christ returns to DESTROY ALL EARTHLY KINGS AND KINGDOMS, and to establish HIS KINGDOM, which shall RULE FOREVER, you, brethren, if you have repented of your sins and have learned to live HIS WAY, will have a chance to be a RULER IN THE WORLD TOMORROW!
If you have LEARNED TO WALK IN GOD'S WAY in this life, then you will get the chance to teach the shell shocked remnants of humanity who will have survived the WORST TIME OF TROUBLE THIS WORLD HAS EVER SEEN, and to show them the way of life that leads to life, liberty, and abundance for all!
But, you NEED TO ACT FAST and learn of His ways NOW, while the door is still open. The door to God's precious truth will soon be shut while this civilization crashes and burns. God says to "seek the Eternal while He is near," implying that during the dark years of the Tribulation, He will be far away, and unreachable by most of humanity.
Thus, you need to repent now of your sins while there is still time to build God's Holy, Righteous character into your life.
The Restoration website provides a library CHOCK FULL of vital KNOWLEDGE THAT YOU NEED TO STUDY NOW, before it is too late.
In closing, I would like to say that years ago, and several times since then, God has given me a vision that He will put our peoples through a "mini tribulation" in the months and years ahead, to give our people ONE FINAL CHANCE TO REPENT, before the coming of the GREAT TRIBULATION.
As part of this "last chance," He may well see fit to destroy our central governments, breaking our nations into many, ever smaller, pieces. Further, some of the dreams indicate that there will be one of these pieces, the Western Confederacy, which will have MANY WHO WILL TURN TO REPENTANCE, and that God's people will thrive there for a short time.
I have no information on any of the other pieces, only this one, that may indeed have a special place in God's plans. But, if these dreams are true, then God will give our nations one more final chance to repent of their sins, so that they can be spared the Great Tribulation.
From Bible prophecy, it seems that call to national repentance will be largely ignored, even after the horrible events soon to unfold on our peoples in a last ditch attempt to wake them up to repentance so that God will be moved to spare them.
But, of course, GOD PROMISES TO SPARE HIS PEOPLE, IN HIS CHURCH, FROM THE GREAT TRIBULATION IN ANY CASE. YOU can be one of those to escape the "greatest time of trouble" in human history.
I urge you to avail yourselves of the resources in the Restoration Website Library, and become one of God's people now, while there is still time.

CHRIST or ANTICHRIST?
Events are plunging toward the eventful climax of Christ's
return. How will you know the REAL CHRIST when he comes?
IS the Pope ignorant of the plain Bible statements that label
HIM "the Antichrist"? What deception will Satan use to keep the
world from realizing the Pope's true identity?
God's Word warns us that this man -- masquerading as a great
"Christian" leader -- will finally declare himself to be GOD! (II
Thes. 2:8.) If he calls HIMSELF "God," whom will he point to as
the ANTICHRIST?
Catholic Interest in Prophecy
God declares that the end-time Pope will be a false PROPHET,
yet the Pope has never declared himself to be a prophet. When
will he deceive the world into thinking that he foresees future
events? What events will he foretell? How will these prophecies
affect YOU? How can you keep from being deceived?
A recently published book reveals a startling Catholic
interest in end-time prophecy. This book, together with
tradition and the writings of some of the "early church Fathers,"
brings to light an eye-opening preview of the false prophecies
that are about to be preached!
Satan knows God's general plan. He has been at work in the
minds of evil and deluded men throughout the ages to lay the
groundwork of the GREAT DELUSION! Though the vials of the wrath
of God are poured out on sinful men, their impenitence remains --
"AND THEY REPENTED NOT" (Rev. 16:9). They will flee from Christ
-- even calling for rocks to fall on them, hiding out in caves --
RUNNING AWAY FROM GOD!
WHY?
Because of "that man of sin ... who opposeth and exalteth
himself above all that is called God, that is worshipped; so that
he as God sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he
IS GOD ... even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan
with all power and signs and LYING wonders, and with ALL
DECEIVABLENESS." THAT MAN WILL TELL THE WORLD THE BIGGEST LIE
EVER TOLD! Into the ears of those who do not have a love of the
truth he will pour the LIE that our returning King, JESUS CHRIST,
IS THE ANTICHRIST! And they will believe him because God will
have sent them a "strong delusion that they should believe a
LIE"! (II Thes. 2:3-11).
But upon what will the Pope base this claim?
By its own admission, the Catholic Church bases its definition
of the articles of faith on its OWN interpretation of the
Scriptures AND TRADITIONS as explained in the writings of the
early church "Fathers"! "And then it was approved by all, that
THE TRADITIONS should be received as of equal authority with the
Scriptures" ("History of the Council of Trent," page 145).
Any attempt to dispute their interpretation by use of plain
Scripture is greeted, as it was at the time of this declaration,
with the cry of "HERETIC" and branded as "Anathema"! "... the
holy Scripture CANNOT BE EXPOUNDED AGAINST THE SENSE HELD BY THE
HOLY MOTHER THE CHURCH, nor against the common consent of the
Fathers" ("History of the Council of Trent," page 152).
Catholic Definition of Antichrist
Here now, for the professed prophecies in the Catholic
Church's recently published book, "Prophecy for Today."
"Towards the end of the world Antichrist will overthrow the
Pope and usurp his See"! ("prophecy" of Abbott "Merlin" Joachim,
died 1202; see also "Catholic Encyclopedia," article
"Antichrist.")
Because they will not admit the truth the Church believes the
Antichrist will be the one to unseat the Pope, while every Bible
prophecy commissions the true Christ with that job.
"Antichrist will fight a successful battle at Mageddo
[Armageddon] in Palestine after which ... he will hereafter
become lord of the world" (Ibid; Anna Catarina Emmerick, d.
1824). It is almost impossible to see how they could believe
this! But there it is! And here is more! "The Kings will send
armies to the Holy Land, but the Antichrist will slay them all"!
(Ibid.; "Venerable Maria of Agreda." d. 1665). Compare this with
Revelation 19:19.
But to continue. "Antichrist and his army will conquer Rome,
kill the Pope and take the throne ... The Jews will come from
everywhere, and accept Antichrist as the Messiah." (Ibid.; from a
"prophecy" by Venerable Bartholomew Holzhauser, d. 1658).
Just one more quote to illustrate their satanic definition:
"After the destruction of Rome, Antichrist will appear and exalt
himself above pagan deities and the Trinity ... Coming to
Jerusalem, he will succeed through false preaching, miracles,
gifts, terror, aided throughout by the devil. An evil spirit
will come out of the air and descend upon his followers. HE
SHALL FEIGN A RESURRECTION FROM THE DEAD, cause rain to fall ...
and perform other wonders, all through the power of the devil ...
The Jews will welcome him." (Ibid.; Richard Rolle of Hampole, d.
1349).
Compare With Your Bible
Hippolytus is one of the "early church Fathers" upon which the
Catholic church depends for inspiration and dogma. Get your
Bible, and compare the plain statements of Scripture, the Word
and authority of Almighty God, with the blasphemous prophecies
made by Hippolytus about the year 170 A.D. Satan very cleverly
inspired this early writer to pen these prophecies just a hundred
years after the true Church of God had to flee to Pella. Since
that time there have been scattered prophecies by many important
men and women in the Catholic church on this subject of greatest
importance -- even up to as recently as 100 years ago.
HIPPOLYTUS begins by saying, "Believe NOT the enemy who is to
COME AND BE SEEN, for he is an adversary and corrupter and son of
perdition, and deceives you; and for this reason he will kill
you, and smite them with the sword" ("Ante-Nicene Fathers;"
Hippolytus, section XXIX).
GOD'S Word says, "Behold, he [Jesus Christ] cometh with
clouds; and EVERY EYE SHALL SEE HIM ... and all kindreds of the
earth shall wail because of him" (Rev. 1:7).
"And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he
should SMITE the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of
iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath
of Almighty God" (Rev. 19:15).
Hippolytus goes on to say: "... at that time the whole earth
will bewail the life of anguish, and the sea and air in like
manner will bewail it; and the sun, too, will wail; and the wild
beasts, together with the fowls, will wail; mountains and hills,
and the trees of the plain, will wail on account of the race of
man, because all have turned aside from the Holy God, and obeyed
the deceiver, and received the mark of that abominable one, the
enemy of God, INSTEAD OF THE QUICKENING CROSS OF THE SAVIOR"
(Ibid.; section XXXIII).
God's clear revelation shows that the time when the families
of all the earth are going to bewail for anguish is the time of
Christ's return. "And the merchants of the earth shall weep and
mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise anymore: The
merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones ... fine
flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and
chariots, and SLAVES, and SOULS OF MEN ... The merchants of these
things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the
fear of her torment, WEEPING AND WAILING"! (Rev. 18:11-15.)
Hippolytus: "And in the presence of all he exhibits himself as
taken up into heaven with TRUMPETS and SOUNDS, and the MIGHTY
SHOUTING of those who hail him with INDESCRIBABLE HYMNS; the heir
of darkness himself shining like light, and at one time soaring
to the heavens, and at another descending to the earth with great
glory, and again charging the demons, like angels, to execute his
behests with much fear and trembling. For he will show forth his
demons brilliant like angels, and he will bring in hosts of the
incorporeal without number" (Section XXXIII). .
The Holy Spirit through the revelation of YOUR BIBLE says:
"For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a SHOUT,
with the VOICE OF THE ARCHANGEL, and with the TRUMP OF GOD: and
the DEAD IN CHRIST SHALL RISE first: Then we which are alive and
remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to
MEET the Lord in the air"! (I Thes. 4:16-17.)
As for Hippolytus' "demons brilliant like angels," Daniel
tells us that the resurrected and changed saints "shall shine as
the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to
righteousness as the stars [angels] for ever and ever"! (Dan.
12:3.) See also I Cor. 15:50-53.
And the "indescribable hymns" -- "And they sung as it were a
new song before the throne ... and NO MAN COULD LEARN THAT SONG
but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were REDEEMED
from the earth ... the FIRSTFRUITS unto God and to the Lamb"!
(Rev. 14:3-4.)
More From Hippolytus
"Then that abominable one [if this is not blasphemy against
the very God of Heaven, what is?] will send his commands
throughout every government by the hand at once of demons and of
visible men, who shall say, 'A mighty king has arisen upon the
earth; come ye all to WORSHIP him; come ye all to see the
strength of his kingdom: for, behold, he will give you corn; and
he will bestow upon you wine, and great riches, and lofty
honours. For the WHOLE EARTH AND SEA OBEYS HIS COMMAND. Come ye
all to him'" (Ibid., section XXXVII).
Revelation 14:6-7: "And I saw another fly in the midst of
heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that
dwell on the earth, and to every nation and kindred and tongue
and people, Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to
him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and WORSHIP him that
made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountain of waters
[and therefore the whole EARTH AND SEA OBEYS HIS COMMAND]."
When these false "prophecies" are read from pulpits into the
ears of gullible people and they begin to see God's intervention
come to pass, THEY WILL BELIEVE THE ONLY MEANING THEY HAVE EVER
LEARNED ABOUT THESE SIGNS AND WONDERS ... AND BE CONVINCED THAT
THE GLORIOUS CHRIST RETURNING IN TRIUMPH IS IN TRUTH THE
ANTICHRIST!
A more modern prophetess of the Catholic Church has this to
say about this time of preaching: "Whole nations will join the
Church shortly before the reign of the Antichrist. These
conversions will be amazing. Those who shall survive shall have
to conduct themselves well. There shall be innumerable
conversions of heretics, who will return to the bosom of the
Church" ("Prophecy For Today;" from Anna Maria Taigi d. 1837).
These false doctrines and false prophecies are going to be
preached with ALL DECEIVABLENESS, and are truly going to deceive
ALL THE WORLD. You and I, when we enter God's Kingdom at His
return, are going to have to convince these people of the TRUTH.
Being God's Born Sons Not an Easy Job!
The whole world will be up in arms AGAINST Christ. The chaos
from years of pestilence and plague, the devastation of hydrogen
and nuclear wars of cosmoscide will have to be CLEANED UP.
Complete anarchy will take over in all the countries of the world
as the earthly governments collapse; order will have to be
restored. This CANNOT BE DONE OVERNIGHT.
It will take painstaking effort, even AFTER the complete
cooperation of the population of the earth is gained! Human
nature will resist the Government of God to the bitter end!
It's not going to be easy to convince these hysterically
frightened, demoniacally deceived, pitifully desperate human
beings! This last generation, sinful as it is, will need the
full compassion and mercy you will be able to give as God's Sons.
You will need every ounce of spiritual power and wisdom God will
give you to perform the JOB of rehabilitating millions of crazed,
completely deceived men left on this earth.
They will be gaunt, wild-eyed! They will have seen more
horrible things happen in their lifetime than all the pages of
history have yet recorded.
Driven in stark, raving FEAR AND OPEN TERROR from their homes,
they will seek to hide from the newest and most overawing
manifestation of WORLD-SHAKING POWER that they have yet seen --
the only thought in their tortured minds will be that HERE IS YET
ANOTHER ENEMY IN THIS SICK, HELL-TORN EARTH ... HIDE, HIDE,
HIDE!!!
HIPPOLYTUS agrees with WHAT will happen, but he calls the ONE
WHO CAUSES IT TO HAPPEN the ANTICHRIST and not the TRUE CHRIST!
"Then will he send the cohorts of the demons among MOUNTAINS AND
CAVES AND DENS OF THE EARTH, to track out those who have been
concealed from his eyes, and to bring them forward to worship
him" (Ibid., section XXIX).
The Bible tells us from WHOM men will hide in the rocks, "And
the Kings of the earth and the great men, and the rich men, and
the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and
every free man, hid themselves IN THE DENS AND IN THE ROCKS OF
THE MOUNTAINS; And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us,
and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and
from the wrath of the Lamb" (Rev. 6:15-16).
You, as a born son of God, may have to be one of those who is
sent out to track down these frightened people. You may have to
counsel with them and assure them that the true living God has
returned to the earth and that there will be peace from that time
forward.
Remarkable Prophecy
Here is another false prophecy from Hippolytus.
"And by reason of the SCARCITY OF FOOD, all will go to him and
worship him; and he will put his mark on their right hand and on
their forehead, that no one may put the sign of the HONORABLE
CROSS upon his forehead with his right hand; but his hand is
bound" (Ibid., section XXVIII).
Now turn to the Book of Zechariah in your Bible, and read what
the true, triumphant, returning Christ will do to the nations of
this earth in order to get them to worship Him. "And it shall
come to pass, that every one that is LEFT of all the nations
which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year
to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep the feast of
tabernacles. And it shall be, that whoso WILL NOT COME UP of all
the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the
Lord of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain. And if the
family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no rain; there
shall be the plague, wherewith the Lord will smite the heathen
that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles. This shall be
the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of ALL NATIONS THAT
COME NOT UP TO KEEP THE FEAST OF TABERNACLES" (Zech. 14:16-19).
The Eternal God, at His return, is going to cause the nations
of this earth to recognize Him as Ruler and to worship Him
through the means of CONTROLLING THE WEATHER, causing drought and
famine -- SCARCITY OF FOOD -- until ALL NATIONS COME UP TO KEEP
THE FEAST OF TABERNACLES!
Giant Rehabilitation Program
The "mop-up operation" that will follow the return of Christ,
in which you may be employed, will be the greatest in all
history!
It is difficult to realize the total chaos that will exist!
The truth of your Bible revealed in the pages of Revelation is
not just "apocalyptic writing" -- but these revelations are from
the Almighty God who foresaw this end of civilization and
realized as He told us Himself in Matthew 24:22 that, "Except
those days should be shortened, there should NO FLESH BE SAVED
ALIVE!"
So let your mind dwell for a moment on the REALITY of this.
Let the truth sink in! This will be a time such as the earth has
NEVER FACED BEFORE.
No ships are plying the sea, no forests cover the
mountainsides, no grass clothes the plains, whole islands have
disappeared into the sea, mountain chains have been wrenched out
of shape, peaks have become valleys and valleys have become
plateaus. Even the earth itself is not circling the sun in its
proper orbit, but reeling like a drunken man through the solar
system!
In a situation such as this only those who have God's truth
could be expected to be sane!
"The public service of God shall be extinguished ... at that
time SILVER and GOLD shall be cast out in the streets, and none
shall gather them; but all things shall be an offense" (Ibid.
Hippolytus, section XXXIV).
The "public service," the Catholic Mass, will not be allowed!
Silver and gold won't be worth anything to man, BECAUSE YOU
CANNOT BUY GOD -- only repentance will be worth anything in that
day! "And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into
the caves of the earth, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory
of his majesty, when he arises to shake terribly the earth. In
that day a man shall cast his idols of silver and his idols of
gold, which they made each one for himself to worship to the
moles and to the bats!" (Isa 2:19-20.)
The supreme government on earth is the Government of God.
Christ Himself, with all of the saints born into His Kingdom with
Him, and the multitudes of Israel coming out of captivity are
abiding in peace at Jerusalem. "Behold, the days come, saith the
Lord, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King
shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice
in the earth. In his days JUDAH SHALL BE SAVED, AND ISRAEL SHALL
DWELL SAFELY: and this is his name whereby he shall be called,
THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS. Therefore, behold, the days come,
saith the Lord, that they shall no more say, The Lord liveth,
which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;
But, The Lord liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of
the house of Israel out of the NORTH COUNTRY, and from ALL
COUNTRIES whither I had driven them; and they shall DWELL IN
THEIR OWN LAND (Jer. 23:5-8).
The first twenty-six verses of Jeremiah 31 repeat again the
establishment of peace and God's rule at Jerusalem over Israel
and over His born-again sons. Read it yourself!
During this same time, "He shall judge among many people, and
rebuke STRONG NATIONS AFAR OFF; and they shall beat their swords
into plowshares, and their spears into pruning-hooks: nation
shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they
learn war any more" (Micah 4:3).
Millennial Pioneers
Then, after a period of time -- including the three and
one-half years of the ministry of Jesus Christ which He has yet
to finish as a personal ministry to Israel -- those of us who are
the born sons of God AND the physical seed of Israel will go
forth from Jerusalem to establish government, peace and
prosperity. The laws of God will be taught to all the peoples of
the earth, beginning at Jerusalem. "Behold, the days come, saith
the Lord, that I will SOW the house of Israel and the house of
Judah with the seed of man, and with the seed of beast" (Jer.
31:27).
When you come to them and say, "This is THE WAY, WALK YE IN
IT!" (Isa. 30:21), when you begin to explain to them that the
Christianity they have known is FALSE, that the Sabbath is the
seventh day of the week -- even when you are able to read the
thoughts of their minds -- it is STILL GOING TO BE DIFFICULT TO
BRING THEM TO THEIR SENSES! They will have been deceived ahead
of time by a clever satanic-inspired prophecy. They will believe
that you will be teaching exactly these things which they have
been told are false! Yes, believe it or not, Satan knows the
Scripture -- he TREMBLES AT GOD'S WORD BECAUSE HE KNOWS IT WILL
COME TO PASS! And he will have tried his best, by his method of
CONFUSING THE FACTS, to so deceive this last generation as to
frustrate the plan of God in setting up His government in the
millennium. Even though Satan himself is restrained at this time
from FURTHER deceiving the nations, HE HAS ALREADY DECEIVED THIS
LAST GENERATION!
Listen to this satanic delusion: "Antichrist will be an
ICONOCLAST [against idols]. Most of the world will adore him.
He will teach that the CHRISTIAN RELIGION IS FALSE, confiscation
of Christian property is legal, SATURDAY IS TO BE OBSERVED
INSTEAD OF SUNDAY, and he will CHANGE THE TEN COMMANDMENTS [that
is, restore them in their ORIGINAL FORM, including the
declaration against idols]. All his wonders could not be written
in a book. They will be more wonderful than the Old and New
Testaments! ... he will READ PEOPLE'S MINDS, RAISE THE DEAD,
REWARD HIS FOLLOWERS AND PUNISH THE REST"! ("Prophecy For
Today;" from Dionysius of Luxemberg, d. 1682.) AND, "... He will
begin by affecting RESPECT FOR THE LAW OF MOSES" (Ibid.; from
Frederick William Faber d. 1863).
The Pope's Prophecy
Here we see in full the prophecies this end-time false prophet
will preach! He will attribute Jesus Christ's intervention in
world affairs to the person and the workings of Antichrist!
Christ is the One who is AGAINST IDOLS! Christ is the One who
will show how perverted this world's "Christianity" has become --
that it is a FALSE RELIGION! CHRIST is the Lord of the Old
Testament whose day of worship is the seventh day, INSTEAD OF
SUNDAY! CHRIST is the One who GAVE the Ten Commandments in their
ORIGINAL FORM, and will restore them. CHRIST IS THE ONE WHO WILL
RAISE THE DEAD AND REWARD HIS FOLLOWERS ... HE IS GOD, AND THERE
IS NONE LIKE HIM!
So we see here the diabolical plot hatched by this professed
"Christian" leader. Here is the age-old attempt of Satan the
Devil to arrogate to himself and to his deceived minions the
OFFICE OF GOD; while he attributes the intervention of the True
Christ in his returning glory to the PERSON AND ACTION OF
ANTICHRIST!
This charges the office and work of the Holy Spirit as having
its origin as a WORK OF THE DEVIL, AND CONSTITUTES UNPARDONABLE
SIN!
These diabolical thoughts, ensconced in the fear-ridden minds
of completely deceived human beings, WILL BE DIFFICULT TO
DISLODGE! You will need all the power God bestows on you as His
born son to do the job He will give you to do.
Peace at Last!
Egypt is an EXAMPLE of all the nations who refuse to come up
to keep the Feast of Tabernacles, to recognize God as the Ruler
of the earth. Then we see the last rebellion put down as those
from the far corners of the earth up in Siberia, and in the
provinces of China -- the farthest spot on earth from Jerusalem
-- will swoop down upon Jerusalem in a vain effort to take away
the great riches that God has bestowed on His peace-loving
people. A thousand years of peace and prosperity, health and
happiness stretch beyond that time that cannot be imagined in
your mind.
And think of it, brethren, YOU have been called to help God
bring His peace to this earth! You are offered a sonship in the
Kingdom of God to teach other people how to become God! By
overcoming yourself daily. By getting close to God in prayer and
Bible study. By learning how to live YOURSELF. By setting a
Christian example in overcoming the petty sins that weight you
down.
As one last illustration of the reality of this fact please
turn to Isaiah 19, and begin reading in verse 16, "In that day
shall Egypt be like unto women: and it shall be afraid and fear
because of the shaking of the hand of the Lord of hosts, which he
shaketh over it ... In that day shall there be a highway out of
Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the
Egyptian into Assyria, and the Egyptian shall serve with the
Assyrian. In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and
with Assyria, even a blessing in the midst of the land: whom the
Lord of hosts shall bless, saying, BLESSED BE EGYPT MY PEOPLE,
AND ASSYRIA THE WORK OF MY HANDS, AND ISRAEL MY INHERITANCE"!
(Isa. 19:23-25.)
This is real, brethren, and you need to realize it!
THE REWARD OF THE RIGHTEOUS IS NOT ETERNAL RETIREMENT, BUT A
REAL DOWN-TO-EARTH, 24-HOUR-A-DAY JOB ... EMPLOYMENT FOR
ETERNITY, JOYFUL WORK!

John
Events are plunging toward the eventful climax of Christ's
return. How will you know the REAL CHRIST when he comes?
IS the Pope ignorant of the plain Bible statements that label
HIM "the Antichrist"? What deception will Satan use to keep the
world from realizing the Pope's true identity?
God's Word warns us that this man -- masquerading as a great
"Christian" leader -- will finally declare himself to be GOD! (II
Thes. 2:8.) If he calls HIMSELF "God," whom will he point to as
the ANTICHRIST?
Catholic Interest in Prophecy
God declares that the end-time Pope will be a false PROPHET,
yet the Pope has never declared himself to be a prophet. When
will he deceive the world into thinking that he foresees future
events? What events will he foretell? How will these prophecies
affect YOU? How can you keep from being deceived?
A recently published book reveals a startling Catholic
interest in end-time prophecy. This book, together with
tradition and the writings of some of the "early church Fathers,"
brings to light an eye-opening preview of the false prophecies
that are about to be preached!
Satan knows God's general plan. He has been at work in the
minds of evil and deluded men throughout the ages to lay the
groundwork of the GREAT DELUSION! Though the vials of the wrath
of God are poured out on sinful men, their impenitence remains --
"AND THEY REPENTED NOT" (Rev. 16:9). They will flee from Christ
-- even calling for rocks to fall on them, hiding out in caves --
RUNNING AWAY FROM GOD!
WHY?
Because of "that man of sin ... who opposeth and exalteth
himself above all that is called God, that is worshipped; so that
he as God sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he
IS GOD ... even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan
with all power and signs and LYING wonders, and with ALL
DECEIVABLENESS." THAT MAN WILL TELL THE WORLD THE BIGGEST LIE
EVER TOLD! Into the ears of those who do not have a love of the
truth he will pour the LIE that our returning King, JESUS CHRIST,
IS THE ANTICHRIST! And they will believe him because God will
have sent them a "strong delusion that they should believe a
LIE"! (II Thes. 2:3-11).
But upon what will the Pope base this claim?
By its own admission, the Catholic Church bases its definition
of the articles of faith on its OWN interpretation of the
Scriptures AND TRADITIONS as explained in the writings of the
early church "Fathers"! "And then it was approved by all, that
THE TRADITIONS should be received as of equal authority with the
Scriptures" ("History of the Council of Trent," page 145).
Any attempt to dispute their interpretation by use of plain
Scripture is greeted, as it was at the time of this declaration,
with the cry of "HERETIC" and branded as "Anathema"! "... the
holy Scripture CANNOT BE EXPOUNDED AGAINST THE SENSE HELD BY THE
HOLY MOTHER THE CHURCH, nor against the common consent of the
Fathers" ("History of the Council of Trent," page 152).
Catholic Definition of Antichrist
Here now, for the professed prophecies in the Catholic
Church's recently published book, "Prophecy for Today."
"Towards the end of the world Antichrist will overthrow the
Pope and usurp his See"! ("prophecy" of Abbott "Merlin" Joachim,
died 1202; see also "Catholic Encyclopedia," article
"Antichrist.")
Because they will not admit the truth the Church believes the
Antichrist will be the one to unseat the Pope, while every Bible
prophecy commissions the true Christ with that job.
"Antichrist will fight a successful battle at Mageddo
[Armageddon] in Palestine after which ... he will hereafter
become lord of the world" (Ibid; Anna Catarina Emmerick, d.
1824). It is almost impossible to see how they could believe
this! But there it is! And here is more! "The Kings will send
armies to the Holy Land, but the Antichrist will slay them all"!
(Ibid.; "Venerable Maria of Agreda." d. 1665). Compare this with
Revelation 19:19.
But to continue. "Antichrist and his army will conquer Rome,
kill the Pope and take the throne ... The Jews will come from
everywhere, and accept Antichrist as the Messiah." (Ibid.; from a
"prophecy" by Venerable Bartholomew Holzhauser, d. 1658).
Just one more quote to illustrate their satanic definition:
"After the destruction of Rome, Antichrist will appear and exalt
himself above pagan deities and the Trinity ... Coming to
Jerusalem, he will succeed through false preaching, miracles,
gifts, terror, aided throughout by the devil. An evil spirit
will come out of the air and descend upon his followers. HE
SHALL FEIGN A RESURRECTION FROM THE DEAD, cause rain to fall ...
and perform other wonders, all through the power of the devil ...
The Jews will welcome him." (Ibid.; Richard Rolle of Hampole, d.
1349).
Compare With Your Bible
Hippolytus is one of the "early church Fathers" upon which the
Catholic church depends for inspiration and dogma. Get your
Bible, and compare the plain statements of Scripture, the Word
and authority of Almighty God, with the blasphemous prophecies
made by Hippolytus about the year 170 A.D. Satan very cleverly
inspired this early writer to pen these prophecies just a hundred
years after the true Church of God had to flee to Pella. Since
that time there have been scattered prophecies by many important
men and women in the Catholic church on this subject of greatest
importance -- even up to as recently as 100 years ago.
HIPPOLYTUS begins by saying, "Believe NOT the enemy who is to
COME AND BE SEEN, for he is an adversary and corrupter and son of
perdition, and deceives you; and for this reason he will kill
you, and smite them with the sword" ("Ante-Nicene Fathers;"
Hippolytus, section XXIX).
GOD'S Word says, "Behold, he [Jesus Christ] cometh with
clouds; and EVERY EYE SHALL SEE HIM ... and all kindreds of the
earth shall wail because of him" (Rev. 1:7).
"And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he
should SMITE the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of
iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath
of Almighty God" (Rev. 19:15).
Hippolytus goes on to say: "... at that time the whole earth
will bewail the life of anguish, and the sea and air in like
manner will bewail it; and the sun, too, will wail; and the wild
beasts, together with the fowls, will wail; mountains and hills,
and the trees of the plain, will wail on account of the race of
man, because all have turned aside from the Holy God, and obeyed
the deceiver, and received the mark of that abominable one, the
enemy of God, INSTEAD OF THE QUICKENING CROSS OF THE SAVIOR"
(Ibid.; section XXXIII).
God's clear revelation shows that the time when the families
of all the earth are going to bewail for anguish is the time of
Christ's return. "And the merchants of the earth shall weep and
mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise anymore: The
merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones ... fine
flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and
chariots, and SLAVES, and SOULS OF MEN ... The merchants of these
things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the
fear of her torment, WEEPING AND WAILING"! (Rev. 18:11-15.)
Hippolytus: "And in the presence of all he exhibits himself as
taken up into heaven with TRUMPETS and SOUNDS, and the MIGHTY
SHOUTING of those who hail him with INDESCRIBABLE HYMNS; the heir
of darkness himself shining like light, and at one time soaring
to the heavens, and at another descending to the earth with great
glory, and again charging the demons, like angels, to execute his
behests with much fear and trembling. For he will show forth his
demons brilliant like angels, and he will bring in hosts of the
incorporeal without number" (Section XXXIII). .
The Holy Spirit through the revelation of YOUR BIBLE says:
"For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a SHOUT,
with the VOICE OF THE ARCHANGEL, and with the TRUMP OF GOD: and
the DEAD IN CHRIST SHALL RISE first: Then we which are alive and
remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to
MEET the Lord in the air"! (I Thes. 4:16-17.)
As for Hippolytus' "demons brilliant like angels," Daniel
tells us that the resurrected and changed saints "shall shine as
the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to
righteousness as the stars [angels] for ever and ever"! (Dan.
12:3.) See also I Cor. 15:50-53.
And the "indescribable hymns" -- "And they sung as it were a
new song before the throne ... and NO MAN COULD LEARN THAT SONG
but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were REDEEMED
from the earth ... the FIRSTFRUITS unto God and to the Lamb"!
(Rev. 14:3-4.)
More From Hippolytus
"Then that abominable one [if this is not blasphemy against
the very God of Heaven, what is?] will send his commands
throughout every government by the hand at once of demons and of
visible men, who shall say, 'A mighty king has arisen upon the
earth; come ye all to WORSHIP him; come ye all to see the
strength of his kingdom: for, behold, he will give you corn; and
he will bestow upon you wine, and great riches, and lofty
honours. For the WHOLE EARTH AND SEA OBEYS HIS COMMAND. Come ye
all to him'" (Ibid., section XXXVII).
Revelation 14:6-7: "And I saw another fly in the midst of
heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that
dwell on the earth, and to every nation and kindred and tongue
and people, Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to
him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and WORSHIP him that
made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountain of waters
[and therefore the whole EARTH AND SEA OBEYS HIS COMMAND]."
When these false "prophecies" are read from pulpits into the
ears of gullible people and they begin to see God's intervention
come to pass, THEY WILL BELIEVE THE ONLY MEANING THEY HAVE EVER
LEARNED ABOUT THESE SIGNS AND WONDERS ... AND BE CONVINCED THAT
THE GLORIOUS CHRIST RETURNING IN TRIUMPH IS IN TRUTH THE
ANTICHRIST!
A more modern prophetess of the Catholic Church has this to
say about this time of preaching: "Whole nations will join the
Church shortly before the reign of the Antichrist. These
conversions will be amazing. Those who shall survive shall have
to conduct themselves well. There shall be innumerable
conversions of heretics, who will return to the bosom of the
Church" ("Prophecy For Today;" from Anna Maria Taigi d. 1837).
These false doctrines and false prophecies are going to be
preached with ALL DECEIVABLENESS, and are truly going to deceive
ALL THE WORLD. You and I, when we enter God's Kingdom at His
return, are going to have to convince these people of the TRUTH.
Being God's Born Sons Not an Easy Job!
The whole world will be up in arms AGAINST Christ. The chaos
from years of pestilence and plague, the devastation of hydrogen
and nuclear wars of cosmoscide will have to be CLEANED UP.
Complete anarchy will take over in all the countries of the world
as the earthly governments collapse; order will have to be
restored. This CANNOT BE DONE OVERNIGHT.
It will take painstaking effort, even AFTER the complete
cooperation of the population of the earth is gained! Human
nature will resist the Government of God to the bitter end!
It's not going to be easy to convince these hysterically
frightened, demoniacally deceived, pitifully desperate human
beings! This last generation, sinful as it is, will need the
full compassion and mercy you will be able to give as God's Sons.
You will need every ounce of spiritual power and wisdom God will
give you to perform the JOB of rehabilitating millions of crazed,
completely deceived men left on this earth.
They will be gaunt, wild-eyed! They will have seen more
horrible things happen in their lifetime than all the pages of
history have yet recorded.
Driven in stark, raving FEAR AND OPEN TERROR from their homes,
they will seek to hide from the newest and most overawing
manifestation of WORLD-SHAKING POWER that they have yet seen --
the only thought in their tortured minds will be that HERE IS YET
ANOTHER ENEMY IN THIS SICK, HELL-TORN EARTH ... HIDE, HIDE,
HIDE!!!
HIPPOLYTUS agrees with WHAT will happen, but he calls the ONE
WHO CAUSES IT TO HAPPEN the ANTICHRIST and not the TRUE CHRIST!
"Then will he send the cohorts of the demons among MOUNTAINS AND
CAVES AND DENS OF THE EARTH, to track out those who have been
concealed from his eyes, and to bring them forward to worship
him" (Ibid., section XXIX).
The Bible tells us from WHOM men will hide in the rocks, "And
the Kings of the earth and the great men, and the rich men, and
the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and
every free man, hid themselves IN THE DENS AND IN THE ROCKS OF
THE MOUNTAINS; And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us,
and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and
from the wrath of the Lamb" (Rev. 6:15-16).
You, as a born son of God, may have to be one of those who is
sent out to track down these frightened people. You may have to
counsel with them and assure them that the true living God has
returned to the earth and that there will be peace from that time
forward.
Remarkable Prophecy
Here is another false prophecy from Hippolytus.
"And by reason of the SCARCITY OF FOOD, all will go to him and
worship him; and he will put his mark on their right hand and on
their forehead, that no one may put the sign of the HONORABLE
CROSS upon his forehead with his right hand; but his hand is
bound" (Ibid., section XXVIII).
Now turn to the Book of Zechariah in your Bible, and read what
the true, triumphant, returning Christ will do to the nations of
this earth in order to get them to worship Him. "And it shall
come to pass, that every one that is LEFT of all the nations
which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year
to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep the feast of
tabernacles. And it shall be, that whoso WILL NOT COME UP of all
the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the
Lord of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain. And if the
family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no rain; there
shall be the plague, wherewith the Lord will smite the heathen
that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles. This shall be
the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of ALL NATIONS THAT
COME NOT UP TO KEEP THE FEAST OF TABERNACLES" (Zech. 14:16-19).
The Eternal God, at His return, is going to cause the nations
of this earth to recognize Him as Ruler and to worship Him
through the means of CONTROLLING THE WEATHER, causing drought and
famine -- SCARCITY OF FOOD -- until ALL NATIONS COME UP TO KEEP
THE FEAST OF TABERNACLES!
Giant Rehabilitation Program
The "mop-up operation" that will follow the return of Christ,
in which you may be employed, will be the greatest in all
history!
It is difficult to realize the total chaos that will exist!
The truth of your Bible revealed in the pages of Revelation is
not just "apocalyptic writing" -- but these revelations are from
the Almighty God who foresaw this end of civilization and
realized as He told us Himself in Matthew 24:22 that, "Except
those days should be shortened, there should NO FLESH BE SAVED
ALIVE!"
So let your mind dwell for a moment on the REALITY of this.
Let the truth sink in! This will be a time such as the earth has
NEVER FACED BEFORE.
No ships are plying the sea, no forests cover the
mountainsides, no grass clothes the plains, whole islands have
disappeared into the sea, mountain chains have been wrenched out
of shape, peaks have become valleys and valleys have become
plateaus. Even the earth itself is not circling the sun in its
proper orbit, but reeling like a drunken man through the solar
system!
In a situation such as this only those who have God's truth
could be expected to be sane!
"The public service of God shall be extinguished ... at that
time SILVER and GOLD shall be cast out in the streets, and none
shall gather them; but all things shall be an offense" (Ibid.
Hippolytus, section XXXIV).
The "public service," the Catholic Mass, will not be allowed!
Silver and gold won't be worth anything to man, BECAUSE YOU
CANNOT BUY GOD -- only repentance will be worth anything in that
day! "And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into
the caves of the earth, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory
of his majesty, when he arises to shake terribly the earth. In
that day a man shall cast his idols of silver and his idols of
gold, which they made each one for himself to worship to the
moles and to the bats!" (Isa 2:19-20.)
The supreme government on earth is the Government of God.
Christ Himself, with all of the saints born into His Kingdom with
Him, and the multitudes of Israel coming out of captivity are
abiding in peace at Jerusalem. "Behold, the days come, saith the
Lord, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King
shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice
in the earth. In his days JUDAH SHALL BE SAVED, AND ISRAEL SHALL
DWELL SAFELY: and this is his name whereby he shall be called,
THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS. Therefore, behold, the days come,
saith the Lord, that they shall no more say, The Lord liveth,
which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;
But, The Lord liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of
the house of Israel out of the NORTH COUNTRY, and from ALL
COUNTRIES whither I had driven them; and they shall DWELL IN
THEIR OWN LAND (Jer. 23:5-8).
The first twenty-six verses of Jeremiah 31 repeat again the
establishment of peace and God's rule at Jerusalem over Israel
and over His born-again sons. Read it yourself!
During this same time, "He shall judge among many people, and
rebuke STRONG NATIONS AFAR OFF; and they shall beat their swords
into plowshares, and their spears into pruning-hooks: nation
shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they
learn war any more" (Micah 4:3).
Millennial Pioneers
Then, after a period of time -- including the three and
one-half years of the ministry of Jesus Christ which He has yet
to finish as a personal ministry to Israel -- those of us who are
the born sons of God AND the physical seed of Israel will go
forth from Jerusalem to establish government, peace and
prosperity. The laws of God will be taught to all the peoples of
the earth, beginning at Jerusalem. "Behold, the days come, saith
the Lord, that I will SOW the house of Israel and the house of
Judah with the seed of man, and with the seed of beast" (Jer.
31:27).
When you come to them and say, "This is THE WAY, WALK YE IN
IT!" (Isa. 30:21), when you begin to explain to them that the
Christianity they have known is FALSE, that the Sabbath is the
seventh day of the week -- even when you are able to read the
thoughts of their minds -- it is STILL GOING TO BE DIFFICULT TO
BRING THEM TO THEIR SENSES! They will have been deceived ahead
of time by a clever satanic-inspired prophecy. They will believe
that you will be teaching exactly these things which they have
been told are false! Yes, believe it or not, Satan knows the
Scripture -- he TREMBLES AT GOD'S WORD BECAUSE HE KNOWS IT WILL
COME TO PASS! And he will have tried his best, by his method of
CONFUSING THE FACTS, to so deceive this last generation as to
frustrate the plan of God in setting up His government in the
millennium. Even though Satan himself is restrained at this time
from FURTHER deceiving the nations, HE HAS ALREADY DECEIVED THIS
LAST GENERATION!
Listen to this satanic delusion: "Antichrist will be an
ICONOCLAST [against idols]. Most of the world will adore him.
He will teach that the CHRISTIAN RELIGION IS FALSE, confiscation
of Christian property is legal, SATURDAY IS TO BE OBSERVED
INSTEAD OF SUNDAY, and he will CHANGE THE TEN COMMANDMENTS [that
is, restore them in their ORIGINAL FORM, including the
declaration against idols]. All his wonders could not be written
in a book. They will be more wonderful than the Old and New
Testaments! ... he will READ PEOPLE'S MINDS, RAISE THE DEAD,
REWARD HIS FOLLOWERS AND PUNISH THE REST"! ("Prophecy For
Today;" from Dionysius of Luxemberg, d. 1682.) AND, "... He will
begin by affecting RESPECT FOR THE LAW OF MOSES" (Ibid.; from
Frederick William Faber d. 1863).
The Pope's Prophecy
Here we see in full the prophecies this end-time false prophet
will preach! He will attribute Jesus Christ's intervention in
world affairs to the person and the workings of Antichrist!
Christ is the One who is AGAINST IDOLS! Christ is the One who
will show how perverted this world's "Christianity" has become --
that it is a FALSE RELIGION! CHRIST is the Lord of the Old
Testament whose day of worship is the seventh day, INSTEAD OF
SUNDAY! CHRIST is the One who GAVE the Ten Commandments in their
ORIGINAL FORM, and will restore them. CHRIST IS THE ONE WHO WILL
RAISE THE DEAD AND REWARD HIS FOLLOWERS ... HE IS GOD, AND THERE
IS NONE LIKE HIM!
So we see here the diabolical plot hatched by this professed
"Christian" leader. Here is the age-old attempt of Satan the
Devil to arrogate to himself and to his deceived minions the
OFFICE OF GOD; while he attributes the intervention of the True
Christ in his returning glory to the PERSON AND ACTION OF
ANTICHRIST!
This charges the office and work of the Holy Spirit as having
its origin as a WORK OF THE DEVIL, AND CONSTITUTES UNPARDONABLE
SIN!
These diabolical thoughts, ensconced in the fear-ridden minds
of completely deceived human beings, WILL BE DIFFICULT TO
DISLODGE! You will need all the power God bestows on you as His
born son to do the job He will give you to do.
Peace at Last!
Egypt is an EXAMPLE of all the nations who refuse to come up
to keep the Feast of Tabernacles, to recognize God as the Ruler
of the earth. Then we see the last rebellion put down as those
from the far corners of the earth up in Siberia, and in the
provinces of China -- the farthest spot on earth from Jerusalem
-- will swoop down upon Jerusalem in a vain effort to take away
the great riches that God has bestowed on His peace-loving
people. A thousand years of peace and prosperity, health and
happiness stretch beyond that time that cannot be imagined in
your mind.
And think of it, brethren, YOU have been called to help God
bring His peace to this earth! You are offered a sonship in the
Kingdom of God to teach other people how to become God! By
overcoming yourself daily. By getting close to God in prayer and
Bible study. By learning how to live YOURSELF. By setting a
Christian example in overcoming the petty sins that weight you
down.
As one last illustration of the reality of this fact please
turn to Isaiah 19, and begin reading in verse 16, "In that day
shall Egypt be like unto women: and it shall be afraid and fear
because of the shaking of the hand of the Lord of hosts, which he
shaketh over it ... In that day shall there be a highway out of
Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the
Egyptian into Assyria, and the Egyptian shall serve with the
Assyrian. In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and
with Assyria, even a blessing in the midst of the land: whom the
Lord of hosts shall bless, saying, BLESSED BE EGYPT MY PEOPLE,
AND ASSYRIA THE WORK OF MY HANDS, AND ISRAEL MY INHERITANCE"!
(Isa. 19:23-25.)
This is real, brethren, and you need to realize it!
THE REWARD OF THE RIGHTEOUS IS NOT ETERNAL RETIREMENT, BUT A
REAL DOWN-TO-EARTH, 24-HOUR-A-DAY JOB ... EMPLOYMENT FOR
ETERNITY, JOYFUL WORK!

I love you. I'm sorry. I forgive you. Thank you.
For those of you who read your email yesterday to the Real Truth list, you may recall the PEERS message I forwarded, inviting you to listen to an interview with Joe Vitale.
Joe has become pretty famous worldwide, both in his internet marketing work and also his more spiritual work, for which he was featured in the famous "The Secret" film.
But what Joe is working on now is way beyond "The Secret." In fact, it is the next logical step, which is taking personal responsibility for everything that happens around us.
That may seem bizarre, but if you think about it, it will ring true to you. I know it always has for me. We are responsible, ultimately, for what happens in our world around us.
I know this sounds rather bizarre, and if you haven't yet watched or listened to The Secret, you really should before you go on to this next level.
Joe's soon coming book, "Zero Limit" will pick up where his earlier works left off.
In the fascinating interview I listened to yesterday, he tells the story of a Dr. Len, who in the 1960's in Hawaii cured an entire ward of the criminally insane that no one else had been able to cure. He did it by taking the patient's files and saying over and over again over the file the phrases above: "I love you. I'm sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you."
Miraculously all but 2 of the patients were made well, and amazingly, Dr. Len didn't see or treat any of them. These phrases come from ancient practices in the Hawaiian religion, which I am told is the ONLY religion officially banned by the US government. In fact, according to what a native Hawaiian told me years ago, there are certain books which are banned from leaving Hawaii.
This man claimed to be the son of the Big Kohona, and claimed to be his heir. Apparently, his father was the first to travel to Tibet, and compare the ancient knowledge of both places.
His father was able to teleport himself and had other interesting abilities.
If you recall, years ago Texxe Mars wrote a book in which he dealt with the "Warrior Monks" used and trained by the Black Opps boys of the US military to conduct psychic warfare on others. This was way beyond remote viewing, and I have reason to believe that this person of my acquaintance was one of these.
I have had other strange encounters over the years with this strange type of operative, including 2 years where a high level Mason was attempting to recruit me into the upper levels of that order, skipping all of the lower degrees and just stepping off at his high level.
He tempted me with riches, political power, and other perks, but of course my commitment is to God, and he eventually gave up. This is, of course, indirect vindication of who and what I am, but that is not a topic for discussion at this time.
But I digress.
The point is that Joe Vitale has hit upon something quite real, and quite "unthinkable" for most people. It goes beyond what is said in The Secret, and makes it quite clear that, indeed, "we create reality."
In fact, Christ said the same things in the New Testament, except that His listeners were not able to understand it at that time, and it has been covered up by organized religion. But, this same theme is elsewhere in the Bible as well, if you can dare to look.
In the Psalms, it says "Ye are gods."
And Christ said, "The Kingdom of God is within you," but man has mistranslated it to say "among you."
Furthermore, as Herbert Armstrong discovered years ago, it is God's intent and design for us to, in his words, "Become god as God is god."
Yes, it's all over your Bible if you care to look. In fact, this theme is the FOCAL POINT of the Bible because that is the transcendent purpose in all human life.
God has revealed many things to me in addition to this simple truth, but it's a great place to start. I suggest, if you haven't done so already, that you read Mr. Armstrong's landmark book, "The Incredible Human Potential," which is in our Basic Literature section of our website library.
http://www.destiny-worldwide.net/rcg/library.htm
As I am learning, though, there is more to this story, and we have as yet only begun to scratch the surface. I will be writing and speaking on these important subjects in the near future.
However, one thing that is still absolutely true is that we need to have the CHARACTER to go with the power that will someday soon be ours. And we can learn that character through a study of God's way of life, which is summed up in His law of love.
But one of our first steps along the way, is to transform and cleanse our lives, and we can start with Joe's phrases.
Think carefully about what each of these means:
"I love you." Christ told us to LOVE our enemies and BLESS THOSE WHO CURSE YOU. It might seem crazy to most, but this is the first step upwards, and can have tremendous impact, as Dr. Len learned first hand.
"I'm sorry." It take REAL HUMILITY to say we are sorry and really mean it, even while we may still think we are in the right.
"I forgive you." Christ instructed us to forgive and forgive and forgive. The disciples were perplexed by this. They even asked Him, "If a brother offends me 7 times, shall I still forgive him?" And Christ's answer was, "70 X 7." In other words our ability and power to forgive should be almost INFINITE.
"Thank you." As I have discussed before, many times we have a problem because we lack an ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE. Today, so many people think they are ENTITLED to this or entitled to that.
And, if you are "entitled" to something, then you often forget to say "thank you."
But saying "thank you" and being truly grateful is one of the first rungs to true success. When we can give honest, sincere, humble THANKS for what we already have, or for what someone else has done for us, then the universe acknowledges that and GIVES US MORE OF THE SAME.
That is one of the fundamental principles of the Bible and of The Secret and other books like "The Science of Getting Rich," etc., etc.
It all has to do with the Law of Attraction, which God set in motion at the begining. And an attitude of gratitude actually attracts MORE of the good into our lives.
We must learn to say "thank you" and be truly grateful for what we have, and then, the universal law of attraction says we can have MORE of it.
And of course, it works the other way around. If we always think about our PROBLEMS, then we will attract more of those problems into our lives.
But of course, the "attitude of gratitude" short circuits this problem, and attracts more abundance into our lives.
I am very thankful that God is opening my eyes on these subjects more and more. As the Apostle Paul so wisely stated, we should think on "whatever things are good, whatever things are pure...." If we do that, then we will attract more of the good into our lives.
Come to think of it, Paul had another word of wisdom that escaped me until just now. He said that whatever state he found himself in, he was "therewith content," and could actually REJOICE in the midst of his adversities.
It seems like Paul knew these truths millenia ago, and only now are we beginning to rediscover them.
Which brings to mind something out of Joe Vitale's story. Joe was not always the wealthy internet marketer and success coach that he is today. At one point in his life, he was flat broke and living out of his car.
Then, he began to discover the Law of Attraction, found things to give thanks for in his dire circumstances, began to think positive instead of negative thoughts, and the rest is history.
As Mr. Armstrong said over and over again, we are to be "teachers in the world tomorrow." He said that teaching is actually the highest calling one can attain to. Especially when we are to teach the right way of life.
But, in order to become teachers THEN, we must be good STUDENTS NOW.
There is no way around it. In order to teach, we must first learn God's way of life ourselves. We can't teach that which we do not know or understand.
So, let's be good students in this life. Let's learn how to be grateful. Let's learn to love. Let's learn to say we are sorry. and let's learn to forgive.
In fact, it might be a good idea to write these phrases down. Memorize them, and inculcate them into your life. And that will be the first step upon the road of learning God's way of GIVE and forsaking this world's evil way of GET.

As Mr. Armstrong said over and over again, we are to be "teachers in the world tomorrow." He said that teaching is actually the highest calling one can attain to. Especially when we are to teach the right way of life.
But, in order to become teachers THEN, we must be good STUDENTS NOW.
There is no way around it. In order to teach, we must first learn God's way of life ourselves. We can't teach that which we do not know or understand.
So, let's be good students in this life. Let's learn how to be grateful. Let's learn to love. Let's learn to say we are sorry. and let's learn to forgive.
In fact, it might be a good idea to write these phrases down. Memorize them, and inculcate them into your life. And that will be the first step upon the road of learning God's way of GIVE and forsaking this world's evil way of GET.

Hello all,
I need to record an audio message soon on the outline of future events in full detail, with scriptureal references, etc., and where we are now in the panarama of world events.
However, that project may take some time to do, and I want to get this out in digest form right now as world events seem just about ready for a major speed up.
We stand right now at a very crucial time. We are on the cusp of earthshaking events that will simply "blow the mind" of the average person away. We are about to enter a time the likes of which this world has never seen before.
But first, let me comment briefly on the Western attitude of mind today.
Our people are complacent as never before, and extremely stubborn. We are self absorbed and materialistic. We also have the mistaken idea "that since the fathers fell asleep, all things have continued the same until this present day," as the Apostle Paul warned us about almost 2000 years ago.
This has many aspects, but one of the main ones is that the theory of evolution, with its view that everything just GRADUALLY moves along making changes over millions or billions of years, and that change within one human lifetime is so slow as to be inperceptible.
For some time now -- several thousand years, in fact -- this has by and large been the case. But, in ages past, and in the near future coming, this planet and solar system has had GIGANTIC catastrophes and SUDDEN CHANGES. These are all verified in the fossil record if you have the eyes to see the evidence in front of your face -- but modern so called "science" brushes these "inconvenient truths" under the carpet so that the average person doesn't see it.
After all, as just one example, mamoths have been found frozen in the ice for thousands of years WITH UNDIGESTED TROPICAL VEGETATION IN THEIR STOMACHS. Also, the meat, when thawed, is still good to eat, and has no signs of decay.
What this means is that these animals were standing eating tropical vegetation one minute, and then almost INSTANTLY, they were DEEP FROZEN WHERE THEY STOOD!
No matter how you slice it, this does NOT happen under normal circumstances. In fact, the ONLY circumstance I can think of that would cause this would be a SUDDEN POLE SHIFT coupled with the possibility that MUCH OF THE ATMOSPHERE IN THE AREA WAS ALSO SUCKED SUDDENLY AWAY, exposing the animal to the cold of outer space for enough time to freeze it SUDDENLY as hard as a rock. After that, since the poles had shifted, the snow started coming down and buried the frozen animals. But it must be remembered that these animals were suddenly FROZEN SOLID on their feet -- tons and tons of animal!
So, what could have CAUSED such a catastrophic event?
Furthermore, it can be demonstrated from TRUE SCIENCE that pole shifts have occurred SUDDENLY on this planet in a regular cycle and that these are NOT isolated events at all. They happen regularly periodically down through our history.
The best explanation I have seen for this is that the rogue "planet" [or whatever it is, but I will use the word "planet" here to avoid confustion]Nibiru is responsible for most of these events on some of its trips into the inner solar system, depending on how close it comes to the earth during a particular passage.
Sometimes, when it comes close, there are gigantic cataclysms, some of which have threatened to destroy our planet. Other passages have been relatively mild when it came into the inner solar system at a great distance from us.
But of course, those are NOT all of the surprises Nibiru has in store for the human race when it arrives very shortly, but I will save that for another time, and I have also recorded an 8 part series on this subject called "The Clouds of Heaven," which will give you a VERY GOOD PICTURE of what the Day of the Lord will be like from historical records of previous passages. That important series is in the Speculative Issues area of our Website library at:
http://www.destiny-worldwide.net/rcg/library.htm
So, since I go into great detail about these events in that series, I will not discuss The Day of the Lord here.
Having said the above, we now have the groundwork for piecing together what may happen in the months and years just ahead.
The "signs" of the approach of Nibiru are all around us, and I also cover that in the Clouds of Heaven series, so I won't belabor that here, except to point out that the weather upsets, increased earthquake and volcanic activity, "global warming," and a whole host of other anomolies that even those people who are the most asleep and unaware are beginning to notice, are the signs of the imminent passage, and things are only going to get WORSE in all of these areas -- much worse. The grand smash climax will be sometime during the Day of the Lord, but there will be some spectacular events unfolding just before this we need to be aware of.
As I point out in the chapters already written of my book in progress "Secret Mysteries of the Ages," the beings that inhabit Nibiru are the "angels" who rebelled eons ago, and in punishment, God imprisoned them there, in the place called in Greek mythology and the Book of Jude Tartarus -- translated as "hell" in the King James Version.
This is also the "bottomless pit" spoken of in Bible prophecy, where about 90% of Satan's minions are restrained. This leaves Satan with a contingent of his demons on this earth of only about 10% of his forces that have been allowed to run around on this planet to assist him in his evil work.
Before the Flood, this was not the case, and apparantly Satan had access to all of his minions, who were able to appear as ordinary human beings whenever they so chose. They taught mankind all kinds of things that God didn't approve of, which was one of the reasons God had to wipe out that wicked world through the Flood.
You can piece this story together from The Book of Jubilees, mythology, and other places.
What is not appreciated by most people is the fact that these "gods" ruled visibly and directly over mankind in ancient times, and that the "wars of the gods" were also the "wars of men," and that humans were used as pawns and cannon fodder in the constant battles between these so called "gods" for supremacy. This is where the human race learned the "art of war." It was these false gods who taught man these perversions, and to act in the dysfunctional way of constant bickering, strife, and warfare.
These "gods" were of various classes, as is hinted at in mythology. The more powerful ones had awesome powers that were truly miraculous. The weakest of them depended on some kind of "technology" to do what they did, including the use of spacecraft and other forms of transportation. The intermediate ones made use of the star gates that connected the earth to Nibiru, while the highest of them were probably able to teleport themselves by thinking just as God Almighty is.
The nature of these beings was ultimately spiritual, but they liked to manifest in physical bodies as much as possible, so that was how they appeared to men in ancient times.
I have a more complete description of this in the book referenced above.
According to the Book of Jubilees, after the Flood, God changed all of that. His original intent was to lock up ALL of Satan's crew, leaving him alone to wander freely on the earth. But, Satan argued with God that he wouldn't be able to fulfill his mission of deceiving the nations if he didn't have help, so God grudgingly allowed 10% of his forces to remain here on the earth with him, while shutting up most of the rest [except for certain ones bound in specific locations on this earth]in the "bottomless pit," which is what became of Nibiru.
In ancient times, it appears that Nibiru was "floating" somewhat above the north pole of earth, and was a large, visible object in the sky. This is what gave rise to the legends of Mt. Olympus, which was the place the "gods came from."
At that time, there was free passage from Nibiru to the earth. At other times, Nibiru was allowed to continue on its orbit, meaning that when it was far away from the earth, it appears to have been "out of range," and the "gods" down here had less "help."
But, after the Flood, all of that changed, and God also took away the power of Satan's demons to manifest themselves in physical form [at least most of the time]. Holy angels still have this power today.
However, there is a peculiarity to this whole thing which I discuss in my book, and has to do with a mistranslation of the word the KJV translates as "chains" in the Book of Jude. According to Bible commentaries this should be more accurately translated as "cave" or "elastic bands."
As I cover in detail in my book, both of these meanings add light to the matter, as it is a PLACE where they are restrained as well as a definite ZONE or boundary beyond which those confined cannot pass.
This explains the METHOD God used to lock up these Fallen Ones in their prison.
However, by piecing together all of the evidence of Bible prophecy and elsehwere, the scenerio for our near future becomes "interesting" to say the least.
Most people who are aware of what Bible prophecy says will realize, if they think only a little bit about it, that the horrors of the Tribulation can only occur because Satan is once more given a free hand to rule on this earth, without the restraints he suffers under today. When the information from the Book of Jubilees is added to certain Bible prophecies, it is not hard to conclude that one of the reasons for this increase in power is because SATAN HS MORE HELP then than he does now -- in other words, many if not ALL of his demons are released from prison to do their dirty work once more on the earth.
But, I think you understand now the MECHANISM by which this will happen.
As Nibiru gets ever closer to our planet, there will come a time when our planet PASSES TO THE INSIDE of the forcefield or bubble universe surrounding that "planet" that bottles its inhabitants there, confining them.
Once we are on the inside of this field, which, as I just mentioned above, is probably a small bubble universe of its own, the inhabitants of Nibiru will then be free to travel back and forth between "home base" and the earth as in the "days of old."
Also, if this is a slightly different miniature universe, that will also mean that slightly different laws apply! Things that "don't work" today, such as large amounts of "magic" and other things that happened in the "old days," such as the Fallen Ones being able to appear as humans, will probably be true once again.
Of course, others of these beings will appear in much more frightful, reptilian forms, up to about 10-15 ft. tall if the historical records are correct.
There will be MILLIONS if not BILLIONS of these beings SUDDENLY able to come down to our small planet once more after thousands of years of confinement.
Nibiru will quickly move to take over blatant control of this planet again, although they may initially disguise it as "help" from "your friendly space brothers" or something else. But, eventually, they will be firmly and overtly in control of this planet again like they were in ancient times, committing horrors and atrocities as they did then, and engaging in their favorite sport using humans as their proxies -- WAR!
The above gives you a broad overview of events, but remember at the same time these events are occuring, massive earth changes and catastrophies of outrageous proportions will occur, culminating with gigantic earthquakes, tidal waves, volcanic eruptions, the sky "turning as dark as sackcloth," etc., etc., with a frightening object coming ever closer in the skies above for all to see.
It will get so bad just before the return of Christ, in fact, that "mens hearts will fail them for dread" of what they see coming at them. And, if it were not for Christ's return, all human life would be erased off the face of this planet -- as that is Satan's ultimate goal.
So, given this broad panarama, what can we expect in the near future, perhaps even the next few months?
After piecing together much evidence, this looks like a possible if not likely scenerio:
The US will make its final, gigantic blunder in the Middle East that will remove it from its place as a world power. This will be a horrible event, and it might even be a stupid invasion attempt against Iran that will backfire in a very spectacular way.
This could cause all of the nations of the world to turn against the US, dumping their dollars, which would cause a sudden implosion of the US economy. If this is coupled with horrendous and sudden natural disasters on a grand scale, then the "world's remaining super power" won't even be a power anymore.
This will leave a power vacuum in the Middle East, and the EU and the Vatican will waste no time in filling it.
For over 20 years now, the Vatican has had a plot with Shimon Peres to have Israel turn part or all of Jerusalem over to Vatican administration.
This plan was set to go into effect many years ago, when Peres was Prime Minister of Israel for a time, but before he could act on this plan, he was removed from power and has been in the wilderness ever since -- until he made his deal with Olmert, making him Vice Prime Minister.
Olmert is presently on a banana peel, with a deafening chorus demanding his resignation. Olmert is George Bush's man, and is the third leg of Bush's support group, Tony Blair being the other leg.
These 3 leaders are all in very deep trouble right now, and Blair is actually in the process of resigning, so Bush has a very short time to try to salvage what is left of his presidency.
All 3 of these men are like cornered rats, and, as you know, cornered rats can get very viscious and irrational, which is exactly what these 3 will try to do.
They all think that just MAYBE starting a war with Iran will salvage them.
But it WON'T. Instead, it will be a HUGE BLUNDER of epic proportions, and will unleash the forces that will ruin all three of them and the countries they are running.
The US and Britain will thus be swept off the world stage as if by massive tidal waves, and Olmert will likewise be out on his ear.
This will leave Shimon Peres as caretaker Prime Minister of Israel at a crucial moment in history.
With the US out of the picture, Israel will, literally, have nowhere in the world to turn for help except the EU and the Vatican!
This will give the Vatican a golden opportunity to get what it has wanted for almost 2000 years now -- CONTROL OF JERUSALEM!
In fact, this is the ONLY way they have of achieving this dream anytime soon, and Pope Rat will no doubt "seize the moment" in coordination with his lackey Peres.
So, with the Middle East imploding and the world in flames, with an economic depression toppling the world economy, the Pope will suddenly propose a "bold peace plan."
At about this same time, expect the Islamic Mahdi to appear, uniting the Islamic World as the King of the South of Bible prophecy.
At the same time, expect fundamentalist Jewish elements in Israel to take over that country -- but not before the Peres - Vatican deal is signed, sealed, and delivered.
Also, at about this time, the political sidekick to the Pope will rise up to "save the EU," who will be the Beast.
The Beast will be very charismatic and he will be a champion of the Vatican's Middle East peace plan.
Somehow, he and the Pope will manage to broker a deal whereby the EU will send in peacekeepers to Israel and Palestine, and the Vatican will administer Jerusalem as a "worldwide city of peace and unity."
As part of this "peace package," the EU will assist the Jews in rebuilding their temple.
This "peace" will probably last about 3 1/2 years or so out of a planned 7 years. But then, something will "go wrong" and the "King of the South shall push at him," and the "King of the North shall come at him like a whirlwind" and destroy the King of the South.
One interesting sidelight here is that the EU will NOT have to invade Israel, because their TROOPS WILL ALREADY BE THERE! It also appears that somehow the Kingdom of Jordan will have not joined the King of the South, and will remain neutral in this conflict that happens at the start of the Tribulation.
I think you can see how events are lining up in such a way now, that this roller coaster, breath taking ride could very well start WITHIN MONTHS if Bush is allowed to go through with his insane war plans against Iran.
Most people don't appreciate this fact, but ONLY Iraq and Iran are controlled by Shia muslims, whom the majority Sunnis consider to be heretics. There is now rising tension between these two sects of Islam, which seems to have been encouraged by the Neocon nutcasts in the White House, who seem to have the idea that they will wipe each other out, leaving the US victorious through a divide and conquer strategy.
I see two possible scenerios here:
1. The US and Israel will attack Iran. Iran will retalliate massively, sinking most of the US navy ships in the Persian Gulf. They will also wipe out the US forces in Iraq and the rest of US forces will be expelled from all of their bases in the Middle East.
After the dust settles, Iran will be wiped out, but so will the US as a global power. With most of its naval power destroyed, and tens of thousands of troops dead and other military equipment destroyed, the US will be crippled militarily.
But, the knockout blow will come when countries around the world dump the US dollar suddenly on the world market in retalliation for this outrageous behavior in the Middle East. The US economy will implode in an instant, never to rise again.
In a matter of a few months, the US will go from super power status to a shrunken, shriveled, dried up husk of its former self. On the home front, the Federal Government will implode. Civil wars on multiple fronts will erupt, and the US will fly apart as when you throw a clay pot on a cement floor. And even the larger pieces will continue to break down into ever smaller and smaller pieces.
This doesn't even take into account multiple massive natural disasters that will strike all at once.
With Iran out of the way, a Muslim messiah or Mahdi will arise and unite the remaining Sunni nations, reestablishing the Caliphate. This will be the King of the South.
2. Scenerio 2 is much like the one above, except that the Mahdi will arise and UNITE Sunni and Shiite Islam.
Internal strife in the Islamic world will cease, and so the power of Iran will be added to the rest to make a formidable foe to face Catholic Europe.
=================================
Anyway, that is a SHORT version of what may happen shortly. It is particularly sobering in light of the fact that this whole thing could start in the next 2-3 months.

I need to record an audio message soon on the outline of future events in full detail, with scriptureal references, etc., and where we are now in the panarama of world events.
However, that project may take some time to do, and I want to get this out in digest form right now as world events seem just about ready for a major speed up.

But, in ages past, and in the near future coming, this planet and solar system has had GIGANTIC catastrophes and SUDDEN CHANGES.

Somehow, he and the Pope will manage to broker a deal whereby the EU will send in peacekeepers to Israel and Palestine, and the Vatican will administer Jerusalem as a "worldwide city of peace and unity."
As part of this "peace package," the EU will assist the Jews in rebuilding their temple.
This "peace" will probably last about 3 1/2 years or so out of a planned 7 years. But then, something will "go wrong" and the "King of the South shall push at him," and the "King of the North shall come at him like a whirlwind" and destroy the King of the South.
One interesting sidelight here is that the EU will NOT have to invade Israel, because their TROOPS WILL ALREADY BE THERE! It also appears that somehow the Kingdom of Jordan will have not joined the King of the South, and will remain neutral in this conflict that happens at the start of the Tribulation.
I think you can see how events are lining up in such a way now, that this roller coaster, breath taking ride could very well start WITHIN MONTHS if Bush is allowed to go through with his insane war plans against Iran.
Most people don't appreciate this fact, but ONLY Iraq and Iran are controlled by Shia muslims, whom the majority Sunnis consider to be heretics. There is now rising tension between these two sects of Islam, which seems to have been encouraged by the Neocon nutcasts in the White House, who seem to have the idea that they will wipe each other out, leaving the US victorious through a divide and conquer strategy.
I see two possible scenerios here:
1. The US and Israel will attack Iran. Iran will retalliate massively, sinking most of the US navy ships in the Persian Gulf. They will also wipe out the US forces in Iraq and the rest of US forces will be expelled from all of their bases in the Middle East.
After the dust settles, Iran will be wiped out, but so will the US as a global power. With most of its naval power destroyed, and tens of thousands of troops dead and other military equipment destroyed, the US will be crippled militarily.
But, the knockout blow will come when countries around the world dump the US dollar suddenly on the world market in retalliation for this outrageous behavior in the Middle East. The US economy will implode in an instant, never to rise again.
In a matter of a few months, the US will go from super power status to a shrunken, shriveled, dried up husk of its former self. On the home front, the Federal Government will implode. Civil wars on multiple fronts will erupt, and the US will fly apart as when you throw a clay pot on a cement floor. And even the larger pieces will continue to break down into ever smaller and smaller pieces.
This doesn't even take into account multiple massive natural disasters that will strike all at once.
With Iran out of the way, a Muslim messiah or Mahdi will arise and unite the remaining Sunni nations, reestablishing the Caliphate. This will be the King of the South.
2. Scenerio 2 is much like the one above, except that the Mahdi will arise and UNITE Sunni and Shiite Islam.
Internal strife in the Islamic world will cease, and so the power of Iran will be added to the rest to make a formidable foe to face Catholic Europe.
=================================
Anyway, that is a SHORT version of what may happen shortly. It is particularly sobering in light of the fact that this whole thing could start in the next 2-3 months.

Hello all,
By now, I hope that most of you have listened to Dr. Hoeh's sermon in Cyber Services discussing the Feast of Trumpets, but also many other of God's Holy Days and His plan of salvation for mankind, and the role that the Feast of Trumpets plays in that Plan.
For decades, God's church was not and in many respects still is not in full understanding of the meaning of Trumpets, and Dr. Hoeh touches in this message, recorded in 1993, on some of those aspects that we had not understood previously.
I think it is ironic that this message was given in what were the final gasps of the WCG, as the apostasy was growing, but, even then, God revealed to Dr. Hoeh's mind some new information that had not been previously known in the way that he presented it.
Ronald Dart has also commented on some of these "new" meanings for Trumpets, so some of these things have begun to seep into the minds of at least some of God's people.
If you haven't had a chance to listen to this important message, please do so. Even though I have decided to archive this message in the Library at some point, it might be some time before I actually archive it there, so I urge you to listen to this message before Friday of this coming week if you haven't listened to it already.
One of the points Dr. Hoeh brought out, and which has also been brought up from time to time by Ronald Dart and a few others is that the birth of Christ probably happened in the Fall Holy Day season, and that, given the symbology and significance of Trumpets, it is very likely that He could have been born on that very day!
After all, we have understood for decades that Trumpets symbolizes the second coming of Christ, so why wouldn't it also be appropriate that His first coming as a baby in the human flesh would also have occurred on this Holy Day?
Dr. Hoeh also brought out an interesting point I was not aware of previously, and that is the fact that each month began with a New Moon, and there was the blowing of the trumpet to mark the beginning of each month.
But, on the First Day of the Seventh Month, which is what the Feast of Trumpets is, there were in fact SEVEN TRUMPETS BLOWN on that day. One can't escape the symbolism of this, as in the Book of Revelation it talks about SEVEN TRUMPET PLAGUES that shall be blown just prior to the second coming of Christ, and, as the Apostle Paul points out, at the blowing of the LAST TRUMP, which we now understand both from the typology of the blowing of the seven trumpets on the Feast of Trumpets as well as the seven last trumpets in the Book of Revelation, Christ shall descend in the Clouds of Heaven [for a complete understanding of the meaning of the Clouds of Heaven, please listen to my illuminating series by that name in the Speculative Issues section of the website library, as this has much more meaning than you would ever dream possible once you start to study it]at the sounding of that SEVENTH TRUMPET, which would be the LAST TRUMPET BLOWN ON THE FEAST OF TRUMPETS.
It is also at this key juncture in World Affairs that the first resurrection occurs, and the Saints rise to meet the descending Christ in the Clouds of Heaven.
After that momentous meeting in the Clouds, Christ will then continue His descent with the Saints and the Holy Angels with Him, and His feet shall stand that day on the Mount of Olives, during the final battle at the end of this evil age, commonly referred to as the Battle of Armagheddon.
So all of this typology and symbolism, as well as much more, is wrapped up in this momentous Holy Day, which will be celebrated this coming Sabbath. This may well mark a major turning point in world affairs.
Brethren, some new understanding has been lurking around the corner of my mind now for at least the past several years. Even though world events may LOOK like we may be headed straight into the Tribulation very soon now, I have had the inkling that this is but a false start, a dry run, and a WARNING TO THIS WORLD and to GOD'S ELECT AS WELL of what WILL happen soon during that most terrible time of trouble in world history.
It will be a shadow, a fortaste, and, in reality, a COUNTERFEIT of the real thing, because things just are not lined up CORRECTLY at this moment.
And, with a few scriptures that I have recently come across, it appears that this false run up to a false tribulation is in the prophetic record if we just know where to look.
And, after this false start towards a false tribulation is over, I have the feeling that we will enter immediately upon a NEW GOLDEN AGE OF GOD'S WORK, when God will directly take a hand in world affairs and utterly lay waste the plains of evil, vain men to bring about their fake New World Order based on greed and oppression, using MONEY, greed, political power, and INTRIGUE to rule over prostrate humanity, creating one tiny class of masters -- and elite made up of the international banksters, the illuminati, and their ilk -- with the rest of the human race wearing the chains of wage slavery and oppression in a fascist New World Order.
But, as I explain in detail in my "Three Whores and a Virgin" series in the Prophecy section of our website library, this is an ISRAELITISH plot, with its center in the City of London, with the atheist Zionist and other illuminati so called "elite," operating in a counterfeit of the way the Catholic Church rides the Beast from its headquarters in Vatican City.
I explain in the early parts of this series that this Globalist Cabal uses MONEY as a substitutue for SPIRITUAL POWER, and that it uses its Money Power in a simillar way that the Catholic Church has used its Spiritual Power down through millenia, in a perverted counterfeit of the Babylonian model.
It is an atheist, dirty, COUNTERFEIT, using MONEY as a substitute for spiritual power to "ride the beast" of first the British Empire and now the American Empire, in a sick, perverted, weird COUNTERFEIT of the method that the REAL WHORE OF BABYLON has used down through history, and will yet use on the world once more.
These elitist plotters and schemers have deceived themselves that there is no God, and that there also is no Satan the Devil, and that everything is about money and everyone in the world has their price, and by using payoffs and other evil means of materialism and atheism, they can create their corrupt New World Order based on nothing but human greed and corruption.
It has worked really well down through the last few centuries that this plot has been operating on the world scene, but these idiots are utterly blind to the stupidity of their flawed logic. This is because NOT EVERYONE CAN BE BOUGHT, BECAUSE THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE IN THE WORLD WHO ARE NOT SUSCEPTIBLE TO BRIBES. It is also true, though, that there are others who will either not stay bribed or who will pretend to be bought and paid for, but who, in the end, will say "what have you done for me lately," and turn around and bite the hand that has been feeding them.
So these are two areas in which these dimwitted morons who dare to call themselves an "elite, " and "enlightened ones" are utterly blind and which is their achilles heel and the germ of their final downfall.
Even at this very moment, there is a growing awareness among the world's people that there is something very evil, very wicked, and very WRONG about this fascist New World Order scheme, and the rebellion against it will soon become a tidal wave that will sweep every leader in the world who is cooperating with their agenda out of power.
Unfortunately, our own peoples of national Israel, at the center of this evil, will be the last to wake up, but, once they do, they will also turn on this WHORE and utterly lay her waste in a moment of time, and throw out of power those governments that this WHORE has thrust upon them for greed and exploitation these many centuries.
It now becomes apparant that AFTER the fall of this FIRST WHORE, there will be chaos and Civil War among most of the nations of the world, and especially in the US, UK, and Canada. There is a significant portion of the populations of those countries that have become used to, tolerant of, and also CHEERLEADERS of this evil system with its political correctness, and multiculturalist agenda. But there is also a significant portion of these peoples that are utterly OPPOSED to this globalist fascist agenda of evil, and are having their eyes opened on an almost daily basis to the evil plot that is unfolding before their very eyes.
There is thus about to occur a gigantic battle between the forces of good and the forces of evil, which will manifest itself in the form of multiple civil wars throughout the world, including our own nations.
After these civil wars are fought and the forces of the Globalist Elite have been utterly laid waste and eradicated from the face of the earth, it now appears that there will come a short period of world peace and harmony after the extinction of these forces of evil. This will be a time during which the message of God's Church, and God's Church itself, will blossom like a flower and flourish as never before.
It is clear to me that this will unlikely be a Work like no other in human history, and that it will make the Work done by Herbert Armstrong and the Worldwide Church of God look like mere shadows in comparison.
This will be a GREAT AND MARVELOUS WORK, a Work so powerful that it will threaten to "turn the world upside down," as God's church did in the first century.
It will be a time of unparallelled spiritual power and an outpouring of God's Holy Spirit, simillar to what occurred on that First Day of Pentacost.
As the prophet Joel said, it will also be a time when our "young men shall dream dreams." It will be a time of prophecy, a time when healings are a daily event in God's Church, and a time of brotherly love such as has never before occurred among God's people, except at the very beginning.
But, the remaining powers in this world left after the collapse of the Globalist Elite will not be amused by this at all. Leaders of all major religions will feel threatened by the Truth shedding light on their lies and hypocrisy, and they shall plot the end of the "holy people."
And so, at some point, the horrible Tribulation will be brought down on this world, as much to suppress the Work of God as anything else.
Keeping God's Sabbath and Holy Days will become a DEATH PENALTY CRIME during this horrible period within the entire area controlled by the Beast Power, and they shall invade and crush the nations of national Israel, whose power shall have been dissipated in their years of civil wars.
But we are on the verge, I believe, of the momentous events surrounding the imminent collapse of the New World order, and the international bankster and Zionist so called "elite." Once that happens, we are in for some very stressful times, at the end of which we will experience a short lived, worldwide "golden age" of "peace among men," which, if you recall, will be a bad sign, as the Beast will be speaking words of "peace" and "flattery" and make a covenant with many for seven years, which agreement he will break after 3 and one half years!
World events are rapidly accelerating now, and the WHORE headquartered in the City of London sees her plots and schemes unwravelling right before her very eyes, which is freaking her out. This is the reason for the increased attacks against freedom around the world and the war mongering claptrap and propaganda She spews forth from Her controlled media / propaganda organs.
But the jig is almost up, as they say. A significant part of the world, and even the US, British, and Canadian populace no longer accepts anything coming out of the mouths of their corrupt politicians as anything but lies and claptrap, and this also applies to the corporate propaganda media organs.
And so, as this REVELATION of the truth about this ABHORRENT EVIL spreads around the world, and people refuse to support their evil globalist agenda, we will see that this vision of evil will quickly fade.
It is coming down, no matter what She does now. The only question is whether the collapse will be peaceful, or soaked with blood because they fight to cling to power. Sadly, I think the next few years will be stained with the blood in the streets of worldwide civil wars, with the elite globalist pigs fighting agains the rest of humanity!
But, after this brief period when She will melt like the Wicked Witch of the West when exposed to water, God's intervention in these matters will cause her to fade away like a vile dream and vision of evil.
And this, my friends, will pave the way and open a brief window in human history during which the very Truth of God will roll down upon this world like cataracts of living, clensing waters, to give us all a chance to repent before the coming of the Tribulation and the Day of the Lord.
May God speed that day and revive His Work in this very end of days!
I urge you to study the material I have mentioned in this important email from our online library, and to listen to this important message by Dr. Hoeh in this week's Cyber Services section.
