[Cont. from Part 6]

THE RAPTURE:
(The Next Major
Biblical Event)

        "Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to ESCAPE ALL THESE THINGS that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man." - Luke 21:36

        "Let no man DECEIVE you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away (the RAPTURE of the Believers) FIRST,* and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;" - II Thessalonians 2:3

        [NOTE: *This is about as clear as Paul and Luke (a doctor friend of Paul's as well, as the author of Acts) can make it - and should put an end to any question of WHEN we will be raptured. Bear in mind that whatever Paul says comes straight from Jesus Himself: "...HE (Paul) IS A CHOSEN VESSEL UNTO ME, TO BEAR MY NAME BEFORE THE GENTILES, AND KINGS, AND THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL;" - Acts 9:15 Therefore, by His own words, Jesus has promised to come for us BEFORE THE ANTICHRIST IS REVEALED! - OL]

"RAPTURE"
DEFINED

        "Rapture" comes from the words "caught up" in I Thessalonians 4:17. In the Greek the word is harpazo - "to seize upon by force," "to snatch up." The Latin translators used the word rapturo. Some people think that "rapture" is not a Biblical term, but this is not true. we need to keep in mind that almost all words in our English Bible are translations of Greek or Hebrew expressions, and are, therefore, NOT in the Bible IN THE FORM WE USE TODAY. Our English word, "rapture" (meaning "to be caught up") is an excellent translation for the Greek harpazo.

        According to radio and TV teacher, Les Feldick (founder of 'Through the Bible'), "...when the last sinner is saved, and the Body of Christ is complete, then we are removed, and the Anti-Christ will sign a peace treaty with Israel. We do know according to Paul, the Rapture will happen before (see above*) the Anti-Christ is revealed. 'Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep (die), but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye...' (LESS than the blink of an eye!) [Those who are Left Behind] "won't see our dead bodies, they won't see any trace of us, except maybe our clothes and possessions left behind.W This body is going to change suddenly...It's going to be a new body, it will be glorious. Here we are in this old frame of dust, prone to sin and corruption, sickness, and all of its faults. But, all of a sudden, in a split second, those of us who know the Lord and are alive are suddenly going to be changed. We won't leave this body behind, but it will be changed to a new one.

        [NOTE: WIf your local video store carries "LEFT BEHIND," I would STRONGLY advise you to get a copy. If they don't have it, request that they get it in. Most of them will comply...although it might take a while. It is an excellent portrayal of what life is going to be like for those who are "Left Behind" after the Rapture. If you can't get a copy, go to any bookstore - or even your local Walmart - and get a copy of Tim LaHaye's BOOK series, 'Left Behind - on which the video is based.' - OL]

FIRST
THE DEAD

        "But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits (the 144,000 Tribulation Saints); afterward they that are Christ's at his coming." - I Corinthians 15:23

        "But I would not have you to be ignorant, bretheren, concerning them which are asleep (dead), that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent (precede) them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trump (trumpet) 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: and so shall we ever (always) be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words." - 1Thessalonians 4:13-18

        Now, let's go back to Les Feldick for an explanation: "The first to respond to that trumpet call will be the dead. In verse 23 of this Chapter, Paul tells us that believers of the human race from Adam through the Tribulation are not going to be resurrected at the same moment. There are going to be DIVISIONS. The word 'order' in the Greek is a military term - a term of organization or company. So there are going to be SEVERAL resurrections of the believers, NOT AT THE SAME TIME. They will be close in proximity, of course...When Christ leaves Heaven coming to get us believers, He will also bring our loved ones and all the Church Age saints who have died with Him. Their bodies will rise with us (who are alive when this event occurs) to meet in the air. They will at last, again, have a new body when their souls and bodies once again become united in the air. We will then be escorted back up into Heaven with Him. Remember, at the RAPTURE Christ comes FOR the Saints (to remove them from the coming Tribulation). And at the SECOND COMING, Christ comes WITH the Saints (to rule with Him during His 1,000-year reign)."

        "For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him." - I Thessalonians 4:14

THE
BELIEVERS' TRUMP

        "The trumpet call, not to be confused with the last of the seven trumpets in Revelation, is a trumpet call associated with the JEWISH FEAST OF TABERNACLES. It will be used to call the living saints at the time of the Rapture to be caught up and transformed together with the just-raised saints of the past. This is described also in 1 Corinthians 15,

        "Now this I say, bretheren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on corruption, and this mortal MUST put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is SIN; and the strength of sin is the LAW. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory THROUGH OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. Therefore, my beloved bretheren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord." - 1 Corinthians 15:50-58

A DIFFERENT
DIMENSION?

        According to Ron Graff and Lambert Dolphin, authors of 'Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will Be Done...', "When an individual dies he or she leaves time and enters eternity. Some scholars think that all believers travel through eternity immediately, "in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye," to arrive at the Rapture the next instant in his or her personal experience. If that is the case, all believers arrive in heaven at the same "time." Thus, "to be absent from the body is to be at home with the Lord." - 2 Corinthians 5:8 We may have difficulty picturing this if we do not realize that ETERNITY RUNS ACCORDING TO AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT TIME than the one-dimensional time frame in which we are constrained to live while in our mortal bodies...

        "All this careful reading of scripture tells us that HEAVEN IS NOT FAR AWAY. IT IS IN FACT MERELY ANOTHER DIMENSION OF REALITY. Earthly, material realities occupy only a small localized region of the realm the Bible calls the heavenly places. The material world is embedded in the spiritual. Therefore Jesus is never far away from any of us. The old notion that when Jesus takes us to heaven we are somehow far removed to a golden land beyond the furthest star is not a Biblical view of heaven at all! We need to adjust our thinking to the view that Jesus will be on the earth during the entire tribulation period, invisible, but probably appearing and disappearing in the same mysterious manner He
did during the 40 days following his resurrection and His ascension...JESUS will be the COMMANDER AND CHIEF OF THE ARMIES OF THE LORD. He will also DIRECT the 144,000 and their strategic work. Jesus will apparently involve Himself personally in the shepherding of His faithful remnant hidden
at PETRA during the last half of the Tribulation period. WHEN JESUS RETURNS, HE WILL COME NOT FROM 'OUTER SPACE,' BUT SIMPLY STEP BACK INTO OUR SPACE-TIME FRAME ONCE AGAIN, bringing His church with Him."

AFTER
THE RAPTURE

        "After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter." - Revelation 4:1

        In a vision, John witnesses a great worship scene of elders and angels around the throne of God, singing hymns of praise to Him. Seated on the throne is the Ancient of Days - the CREATOR of the universe. In His hand He holds a mysterious SCROLL, written on both sides (not just one side, as is normal) - and sealed with SEVEN WAX SEALS (again, usually there would only be one seal). A search is begun for someone worthy to open these seals, for inside are the details of the "TITLE DEED TO THE EARTH." None can be found though, until God's only only-begotten Son steps forward and takes the scroll from His Father's hand. And now those who surround the throne begin singing a new song of
praise - to CHRIST JESUS, the Messiah (Savior), who has ransomed men "from every tribe and tongue and nation," and is the only one worthy to receive such authority. The fate of the earth now rests entirely in His hands. Jesus proceeds to open the seven-sealed scroll, one seal at a time. Each seal describes a major event of the Tribulation period that is about to take place.

OPENING
THE SEALS

        For years we have been encouraged (and for the last few years, even browbeaten) to embrace the concepts of "PROGRESS" and "LIBERALISM" - SATAN'S TWO MOST EFFECTIVE WEAPONS! In fact, we have been "progressing" (blindly running) so fast that we never seem to stop long enough to ask: "Progress" to where or to WHAT? "Liberalism" - according to the Liberals - simply means being tolerant of other people's ideas (but, of course, this same "liberalism" never seems to require the LIBERALS to be "tolerant" of others - especially Christians!).

        Has it never occurred to you that the ONLY views we NEED be "tolerant" of - are those that are Anti-American and therefore, ANTI-CHRISTIAN?! The following is where Liberalism is headed - because if you are foolish enough to miss the Rapture and are Left Behind, first you WILL have to face the FOUR HORSEMEN OF THE APOCALYPSE:

THE FIRST SEAL:
ANTICHRIST REVEALED

        "And I saw when the LAMB (Jesus) opened one of the SEALS (on the mortgage that Satan has held on the earth since the Fall of Man), and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts (creatures) saying, 'Come and see.' And I saw, and behold a WHITE HORSE: and he that sat on him had a BOW; and a CROWN was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer." - Revelation 6:1,2

        This is the opening of the seven-year TRIBULATION period. The first significant event - after the Rapture - will be the emergence of ANTICHRIST, symbolized here as the rider on a white horse. He is a REAL flesh-and-blood man - as real as JESUS was when He was here on earth! Lucifer was over all of God's angels at the time he decided to rebel against God's authority - and subsequently he was evicted. Ever since then, he has been attempting to counterfeit anything God has done. God sent His son to earth to save Mankind, so now Lucifer has sent his son (whether real or "adopted," I am convinced he
is already here - waiting in the wings, so to speak) - not to save the world, but rather to DESTROY it - and eternally damn Mankind in the bargain! LUCIFER (Satan) is called the "GREAT DECEIVER" and the "FATHER OF LIES," so beware: he will not appear as a horrible or evil monster, but as a benevolent dictator. For an interesting picture of him, check out Stephen King's "THE STAND." He will be seen as a messiah, who has come to solve the world's great problems. Ray Stedman writes,

        "We are bemused by delusions today. We are hardly aware of how much we are being deceived all the time. Turn on the television and fraudulent ideas, along with a mixture of truth, are immediately poured into your brain. Pick up a magazine or read a newspaper and you will find they make false claims that certain acquisitions will produce great blessing and liberty for you. But trying them will soon tell you that it is a lie. They do not work. We are constantly offered much of promise but which are totally unable to deliver...What this rider on the white horse tells us, however, is that THE WORST IS YET TO COME. We are living amidst great deceit, it is true, but it is not as bad as it is going to be.
THERE IS COMING AN EVEN GREATER LIE."

THE ENDTIME
CLOCK

        The Rider of the White Horse has a bow without arrows, because he will sign a treaty with Israel, offering peace - a FALSE peace, as the world will soon discover. With the signing of that seven-year "peace" treaty, God's Endtime Clock will start ticking and the long-awaited rebuilding of the Temple will begin:

        "And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the TEMPLE OF GOD, and the altar, and them that worship therein. But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the HOLY CITY shall they tread under foot forty and two months." - Revelation 11:1,2

REBUILDING
THE TEMPLE

        we know that one of the main things that the AntiChrist will be responsible for during his 7-year reign is the rebuilding of Solomon's Temple. This will come out of the treaty he brings about between Israel and her enemies. This MUST be done, in order to fulfill the Biblical prophecy of the AntiChrist's desecration of the Temple during the middle of the Tribulation. Now, the interesting thing about this prophecy is the fact that right now - TODAY - not only is there a war brewing in Israel, but it appears that the torch that is setting it off is none other than SOLOMON'S TEMPLE!

        Although the Jews have been forbidden to rebuild their temple, the Palestinians now appear to be taking extraordinary moves to PREVENT that very possibility: they are bulldozing tons of stone containing priceless historical treasures at the famed Temple Mount. Could they subconsciously be afraid the Biblical prophecy might be true? Meantime, while all this is going on, AntiChrist's seat of power during the beginning of the Tribulation - BABYLON - has almost been completed. To my fellow Christians and I, this is quite revealing. Because this also had to be rebuilt, so that God can destroy it in the final days. Not only does this follow Bible prophecy to the letter, but it warns us that the time for all this to begin is not only getting closer, it is ALMOST HERE! And how do we know? Because
NONE OF THIS CAN COME TO FRUITION UNTIL WE ARE GONE (Raptured with Jesus)! Not only that, but certain events follow the Biblical timetable and will require the Biblically-prophecied seven years. But, let's continue - and see how CLOSE we are getting to the rest of Bible Prophecy:

THE
RED HORSE

        "And when he had opened the SECOND SEAL, I heard the second beast (creature) say, 'Come and see.' And there went out another horse that was RED: and power was given to him that sat thereon to TAKE PEACE FROM THE EARTH, and that they should kill ONE ANOTHER: and there was given unto him a great sword." - Revelation 6:3,4

        Remember what you read earlier (in Part #6 of this Report), about how the powers-that-be are changing the face of war: "SILENT WEAPONS FOR QUIET WARS?" Well, I believe THIS WAR HAS ALREADY BEGUN. I believe it is referring to the spread of Communism ("Reds) and a WORLD-WIDE CIVIL WAR begun by the BANKSTERS (who now "own" the world through national debts), utilizing the United Nations and its global network. Their ammunition is comprised of INTERNATIONAL TREATIES (i.e., "Agenda 21," "Biodiversity Treaty," "Kyoto Protocols," etc.). Through these treaties, they are grabbing the LAND, WATER, FOOD, etc. - with the help of the world's various governments.

        Don't believe it? As I said, if you don't, you're just not paying attention: take a closer look at your TV and newspapers: SCHOOL and GANG SHOOTINGS, MURDERS (even by POLITICIANS!), RIOTING IN THE STREETS, blood and gore all over the news. Killings, killings, and more killings right here in America - along with so many LAWS (most of which are totally unconstitutional), that there is no possibility of ANYONE being a "law-abiding" citizen any longer (something which the Insiders love to brag about)! Unfortunately for the Insiders (but fortunately for us), the "insiders" are rapidly losing control of these foreign gangs and mobs that they have imported. Wonder of wonders, it seems they LIED: now that our "leaders" have turned them loose, they don't want to GIVE UP America's happy hunting grounds. What a surprise: these gangsters CAN'T BE TRUSTED! Duh! But this is only the beginning. at this point, it will probably escalate into:

GOD'S JUDGMENT
ON GOG (RUSSIA)

        "And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 'Son of man, set thy face against GOG, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him, And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal: And I WILL TURN THEE BACK, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army...PERSIA (Iran), ETHIOPIA, and LIBYA with them; all of them with shield and helmet: GOMER (Eastern Europe), and all his bands; the house of TOGARMAH (Turkey) of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee. Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them." - Ezekiel 38:1-7
        "And I will plead against him with PESTILENCE and with BLOOD; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, an OVERFLOWING RAIN (floods), and great HAILSTONES, FIRE, and BRIMSTONE. Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and THEY SHALL KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD." - Ezekiel 38:22,23

        "Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, 'Thus saith the Lord GOD; 'Behold, I am against thee...And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee, and will cause thee to come up from the north parts, and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel. And I will smite thy bow out of the left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand. Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands, and the people that is with thee: I will give thee the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured. Thou shalt fall upon the open
field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD. And I WILL SEND A FIRE ON MAGOG (Moscow), and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles..." - Ezekiel 39:1-5
        "So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and I will not let them pollute my holy name any more: and the heathen (Gentile) shall know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel. Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord GOD; THIS IS THE DAY WHEREOF I HAVE SPOKEN. And they that dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth, and shall set on fire and BURN THE WEAPONS..., and they shall burn them with fire SEVEN YEARS..." - Ezekiel 39:7-9

A LESSON
IN TIME

        Let's go to Les Feldick for an explanation: "Now some people believe that this is Armageddon and I just can't agree with that. THIS IS A SEPARATE WAR...within the seven-year time frame...People will say, 'This can't be the Tribulation because there won't be enough time for it.' But if you will remember in Scripture a part of a year was counted a whole year (just as Israel does today: a part of a day is counted as a whole day). A good example was when a King would serve Israel for 10 years and 1 month, it would say he served for 11 years. So, using that rule of thumb, an invasion of the Nation of Israel WITHIN THE FIRST 11 MONTHS for instance, after the seven-year treaty is signed, will make this prophecy come true...back in the 1960s a Dutch scientist had perfected some sort of process where he came up with a TANK that was made with WOOD product that would actually repel shells...And the Russians bought a large quantity of them because they were so much more economical. Then after the war in 1967 in Israel, the Israelites captured some of these tanks and discovered that THEY BURNED LIKE CARDBOARD..."

        "The battle casualties will be staggering," says Pastor John Hagee. "Five out of six enemy troops that attack Israel in this Russian-led pan-Islamic force will die. It will take SEVEN MONTHS to bury the dead (Ezekial 39:12). It will take seven YEARS to burn the implements of war (Ezekial 39:9)...Israel is the only nation created by a sovereign act of God, and He has sworn by His Holiness to defend Jerusalem, His Holy City. If God created and defends Israel, THOSE NATIONS THAT FIGHT AGAINST IT, FIGHT AGAINST GOD."

AMERICA:
TARGET #1

        "...Logically, if you were sitting in a place of authority, whether it's in the Kremlin or some other place in this Northern Confederation, and you were getting ready to invade the little Nation of Israel, I think that you would realize there's only ONE nation on earth that might oppose you. And who would that be? AMERICA. We are the only friend that Israel has in the world. And I think that the Russian leaders would understand that if they invaded Israel, America would probably come to her defense...If you were the commanders, what would you do? I know what I would do. I would say, 'Let's unload
everything that we have on North America. They're the only possible enemy that we have.'  AND THAT'S WHAT I THINK WILL HAPPEN. I think the Russians will unload everything they have and will utterly KNOCK THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE OUT OF THE REST OF PROPHECY. Because there's nothing for us in prophecy...after we have suffered that initial attack, I think our military will still have enough left to give the command to unload all our submarines on the Russian homeland, which will destroy it." (Not to mention, set it on FIRE!) You think this is too far-fetched? Wait til you read the "Update" at the end of this Special Report! In the meantime, here are some facts to think about:

SOME
SCARY FACTS

        According to Ron Graff and Lambert Dolphin, "Today there are 13 COUNTRIES with NUCLEAR capability, and 23 COUNTRIES with INTER-CONTINENTAL BALLISTIC MISSILES. Our strategic
deterrent is our Trident submarine, but the Russians have a silent, SUPERIOR submarine, the TYPHOON, with 20 tubes. Each tube can launch a missile with 10 independently tractable warheads. This means that ONE Typhoon submarine can hold 200 CITIES hostage!...Several countries know how to use deadly strains of biological killers in bombs, including ANTHRAX, CHOLERA, SALMONELLA, and BOTULISM. We have never had a time in our generation when we have been free from war. We have all been held hostage by the threat of nuclear war and the possibility that a madman might 'push the
button.'

        "When the seals are opened God will release, step by step, the LAST RESTRAINTS holding back the EVIL that already exists in men's hearts. Even now in our violent age bad men, as well as good, enjoy 'common grace' from God - and a great deal of protection every day of our lives, all from God's benevolent hand. We ought to be thankful every day for this restraining hand of God which allows us to live in comfort most of the time. But the end time is a season in which evil is allowed to run its full
course, UNCHECKED and UNIMPEDED - except for God's final intervention."

        Now, I don't want to scare you unnecessarily, but I am in complete agreement with Mr. Feldick, because I believe (as do many Biblical scholars) that the Rider of the Red Horse IS Gog (Russia) - leading WORLD COMMUNISM, which has now spread like a cancer across the earth - including America. Not one country on earth has been spared - and none of this would have been possible WITHOUT THE HELP OF AMERICA! These New World Order gurus honestly believe they can just take over, once the Communists have broken down the nations and peoples of the world! Communism's greatest weapon, however, is their ability to turn the people against each other through lies - so "that they should kill ONE ANOTHER (annihilate themselves)." And now that they are wedded to the
INTERNATIONAL MAFIA, the blatant violence has escalated to a point where even America has become a war-zone and - for many - the WORLD'S LARGEST RE-EDUCATION CAMP! Remember, though, that those of us who have accepted Jesus as our Savior won't need to worry about the destruction of America. We won't see it, for WE WILL ALREADY BE GONE!

THE
BLACK HORSE

        "And when he had opened the THIRD SEAL, I heard the third beast (creature) say, 'Come and see.' And I beheld, and lo a BLACK HORSE; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A MEASURE OF WHEAT FOR A PENNY, AND THREE MEASURES OF BARLEY FOR A PENNY; and see thou HURT NOT the oil and the wine." - Revelation 6:5,6

        The BLACK HORSE is the horse of FAMINE. We are already seeing this throughout Eastern Europe (in particular, in Russia and the old Soviet Union), Africa, Asia, South America and the Middle East. The food supply has been deliberately stripped from these areas by the ORGANIZED CRIME members who now own and control our world - the ones we call the "WORLD TRADE ORGANIZATION (WTO)," the "INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUND" (IMF) and the "G-8." Note how fast they are also TAKING OVER ALL OF AMERICA'S FARMS, as well. Our BEST food now goes to the swanky hotels and resorts in Europe. That is why we are seeing the quality of our food going down, down, down. The
globalists are pushing hard for their goal to make all countries equal - bringing them DOWN to the "LOWEST common denominator." In other words, none higher or wealthier than the POOREST NATION ON EARTH!

        The second part of the first verse speaks of "A measure of wheat...etc." This refers to the average worker needing to work a full day, SUN-UP TO SUN-DOWN, just to earn enough money to BUY BREAD FOR THE NEXT DAY. This is why we are seeing so many commercials for credit cards, etc. - to encourage everybody to get so deep in debt that they will become TOTALLY ENSLAVED to the Globalists! Well, ALMOST everybody, that is. Read the last part of this verse again: "see thou hurt not the oil and the wine." This refers to LUXURY items - in other words, the "needs" of the ULTRA-wealthy. They will continue to live "high on the hog" - at OUR EXPENSE! For instance: TYSON, KELLOGGS, MC DONALDS, etc., etc. Now famine never stands alone. With it comes "pestilence" (disease) and:

THE INFAMOUS
"PALE HORSE"

        "And when he had opened the FOURTH SEAL, I heard the voice of the fourth beast (creature) say, 'Come and see.' And I looked, and behold a PALE HORSE: and his name that sat on him was DEATH, and HELL followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to KILL with SWORD, and with HUNGER, and with DEATH, and with the BEASTS of the earth."

        The "Pale Horse" is actually a sickly pale GREEN, such as humans become, when they are deathly ill. Stedman explains it this way: "This rider is named 'Death;' and floating along behind, was a figure that is identified as 'Hades,' or Hell. DEATH TAKES THE BODY AND HADES TAKES THE SOUL. As someone has put it, 'Death rides the horse, but Hades follows with the hearse.' There are four forms of death that are related to this attack. First, the SWORD, which here is not war but MURDER; individual assault upon one another. It is people taking the law into their own hands and murdering other
people without regard to justice or law. Many people are fearful about the senseless violent crime of our days. Gang warfare, riots, carjackings, follow-home robberies, ATM muggings, and drive-by shootings have become commonplace. Just imagine the wanton looting and killing that could be ahead in a world already decimated by the events of the first three seals! (Do my "tinfoil hat" friends really want to say this ISN'T happening today - or any of the things that follow? And as my older readers can testify: this is definitely NOT "the way it has always been!" )

        "There have always been PLAGUES, but they do seem to be increasing in our times. CANCER is an ever-growing threat, AIDS is a new disease of the most sobering proportions. So far there is no cure for this plague...We are constantly hearing of serious outbreaks of such diseases as the EBOLA VIRUS which can destroy whole towns. There have been recent outbreaks of a rare FLESH-EATING STREP disease which disfigures or even kills its victims in a matter of hours. Resistant strains of 'conquered diseases,' such as TUBERCULOSIS are now appearing. Some people are even wondering if some of these problems are the result of GENETIC ENGINEERING. Recent information about the rampant production of CHEMICAL and BIOLOGICAL weapons of mass destruction also help us picture the disastrous effects of these plagues." And - even scarier - bear in mind, according to Matthew 24:8, "All these are (merely) the BEGINNING of sorrows."

WHAT WILL BE
RUSSIA'S MOTIVE?

        WHY would RUSSIA want to involve herself directly in such a conflict? Up til now, Russia has avoided direct involvement in any global conflict, preferring to manipulate things behind the scenes. But, this time, Hagee explains, she won't have a choice: "Russia must have an unlimited supply of OIL to become a military superpower (again). Although Russia is rich with oil reserves and other natural resources, those resources tend to be located in remote areas that are difficult to access. Therefore, it must gain control of the main source of the industrialized world's oil - the PERSIAN GULF.

        "Make no mistake," Hagee warns, "a REBORN RUSSIA seeking to again become a military superpower will in the near future lead a massive PAN-ISLAMIC military expedition in an attempt to conquer Israel. The prophet Ezekial paints the portrait of the coming battle with shocking clarity. Just before the return of Jesus Christ, world powers will be divided into four great sectors:

                1. The king of the North, or RUSSIA. Moscow is directly north of Jerusalem.
                2. The king of the South, which consists of EGYPT and the nations south of
                    Israel.
                3. The king of the West, represented by the federated states of Europe that are
                    now coming together under the EUROPEAN UNION.
                4. The king of the East, which is represented by the ASIATIC powers lying to the
                    east of the Euphrates River.

ANTICHRIST: THE
FALSE MESSIAH

        "And in the latter time of their kingdom, When the transgressors have reached their fullness, A king shall arise, Having fierce features, Who understands sinister schemes." - Daniel 8:23

        Pastor Hagee continues: "SOON AFTER RUSSIA MOVES AGAINST ISRAEL, the ANTICHRIST will walk purposefully into a political vacuum to become a worldwide dictator. Jerusalem will watch that man walk onto the stage of world history as a MAN OF PEACE only to become Hitler incarnate. The ANTICHRIST is a REAL, PHYSICAL human being. Though some have hypothesized that the AntiChrist, or Beast, will be a system or a computer, the Bible leaves us no doubt that he is a person... [He] is... anointed of hell, [a] brilliant, charismatic, articulate world leader who will arise at the dawn of the Tribulation and baptize the world in a river of blood. The Bible calls him the 'son of perdition' (2
Thessalonians 2:3), which translates to 'THE CHIEF SON OF SATAN'...

WHO IS
ANTICHRIST?

        "And they (the whole world) worshipped the DRAGON (Satan) which gave power into the BEAST (AntiChrist), saying 'Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? (All economic and military power will be under his control) And there was given unto him (by God) a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies (the ultimate "Slick Willie!"); and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months (3 1/2 years)." - Revelation 13:4

        "This FALSE MESSIAH will present himself to the world as a man of peace." Hagee warns. "Perhaps he will be a Nobel Peace Prize winner. At the beginning of his alloted time, he will defeat and merge three kingdoms, demonstrating his power to influence and lead men. Daniel 8:25 says that by cunning he 'shall destroy many.' To illustrate his diplomacy and desire for peace, he will make a SEVEN-YEAR TREATY with Israel, but he will break this agreement after only three and one-half years. The AntiChrist will be a man with hypnotic charm and charisma. Interestingly enough, historians record
that when Hitler was in power, men were afraid to look into his hypnotic eyes. The AntiChrist will have awesome DEMONIC POWER to control world leaders with his HYPNOTIC GAZE and the force of his personality.

ORIGIN OF
PALESTINE

        What could possibly cause the whole world to declare war on a country ONE-FOURTH THE SIZE OF MAINE, and with a population of only HALF-A-MILLION people? Did Isreal really "steal" the land from the Palestinians? WHERE do the Palestinians come from? Backing up to May 14, 1948, the United Nations recognized the State of Israel. The very next day, FIVE ARAB ARMIES ATTACKED ISRAEL - God's Chosen People and the land from which Jesus will rule the whole world for a thousand years.

        Israel was completely outnumbered and unprepared, but, EL SHADDAI (God Almighty) stopped them. From this war came the so-called "Palestinian refugee problem" - a problem created, sustained, and manipulated by the Arab leaders themselves - AGAINST THEIR OWN PEOPLE, in order to portray the Jews of Israel as heartless. Now, this is how they did it: According to Joan Peters ('From Time Immemorial') just before the war of 1948 began, Arab leaders told the Palestinians to leave their homes. "AS SOON AS WE DRIVE THE JEWS INTO THE SEA," they promised, "YOU CAN RETURN." Peters backs this up with irrefutable documentation. Man, that is COLD! Why would they do that? Perhaps the following might explain it:

THE COMING
JIHAD (HOLY WAR)

        Arafat has stepped up his attack on Israel, who is now being threatened by Russia, China, parts of Eastern Europe and even Sadam Hussein - who wishes to lead the entire Arab world against Israel. And they will follow him, because according to Moris Farhi ('The Last of Days') if peace must be made (with Israel), ONLY A TRUCE IS PERMISSIBLE - and that "for a maximum of TEN YEARS as an expedient to hone our swords, whet our blood, and strengthen our will." It won't take that long, though. After all, the Tribulation only lasts SEVEN YEARS! Our sources in the Middle East also inform us that Egypt is moving arms into place - preparing for war against Israel - as is Iran. The THIRD WORLD WAR will undoubtedly begin BEFORE Antichrist makes himself known, since there has to be an unsolvable conflict for him to bring about the signing of the Seven-Year Treaty - and by the signs we have already seen, THIS WAR IS JUST BEGINNING!!

        Muslims view their attacks on Israel as a JIHAD - a holy war. They honestly believe that they are obeying Muhammad, who commanded that every "infidel domain" must be considered a territory of war - therefore, fundamentalist Muslims MUST destroy the Jews and rule Israel, or Muhammad is a FALSE prophet and the Koran is not true. The covenant of the Islamic Resistance Movement, HAMAS, includes this statement: "Israel will exist and will continue to exist UNTIL ISLAM WILL OBLITERATE IT, just as it
obliterated others before it." Not exactly a recipe for peace! Therefore ANY "peace treaty" between Israel and her Muslim neighbors MUST BE FALSE!

        "And he causeth ALL, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a MARK in their right hand, or in their foreheads; And that no man (or woman) might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the NUMBER OF THE BEAST (e.g., the power, the political system, etc.): for it is the NUMBER OF A MAN (always "SIX" in Scripture); and his number is SIX HUNDRED THREESCORE AND SIX (666)." - Revelation 13:16-18

MARK OF
THE BEAST

        WE ARE MOVING EVER CLOSER TO THIS PROPHECY. Believe it or not, Folks, this number ALREADY controls almost all our buying and selling! Reknowned Biblical expert, Les Feldick believes that "this mark of the beast is nothing more than an EIGHTEEN-DIGIT COMPUTER NUMBER. In other words, THREE SETS OF SIX NUMBERS...Most of you are acquainted with the little bars and lines on every product that you buy, especially in our supermarkets. What's it called? The 'UNIVERSAL PRODUCT CODE' (falling under the universal commercial code [UCC]). And the outside bars, and the very middle bar has a value of six...Now all they have to do is expand this universal product code a little more and you will have eighteen digits." Why eighteen? Because "that is sufficient to give everyone on the face of the earth a separate number. If they can keep track of products in a supermarket down to the last nitty gritty, simply by running it over a scanner, then they won't have any problem keeping track of every human being.

        "In fact, the LARGEST COMPUTER ON EARTH is reported to be in Brussels, Belgium. And that thing is huge (I think I read it takes a city block just to house it). It is very capable of KEEPING TRACK OF EVERY HUMAN BEING ON EARTH. So just simply bring this whole mark of the beast down to something that is so common already. An eighteen digit number of 666, and you have the mark of the beast. We also know that there have been places that have tried a CASHLESS society...The only problems that they have is the check-out lines start backing up, because the people in this test area can never find their card in their purse. This secular article suggests that if there were some way of PUTTING A MARK ON THE FLESH, so that it can be scanned, it would speed up the check-out lines. It is all there, the technology is simply waiting to be implemented.

        "Believers don't have a fear of the 666. We have all the evidence of the world that the precursors of it are with us. You and I use it everyday. You can't go and get a driver's license without it, or file your taxes without it - and what is it? Your SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER. It is not the mark of the beast, but it is the forerunner of it. And remember America is not the only nation with a social security system... even the small nations in what we call the third world have social security systems...Germany, years ago, began TATTOOING a number on the heels of newborn infants before they left the hospital. So, we can see the world is getting ready for the fact that they can't do anything without a number...people without it will die for lack of the necessities of life...

        "THE MARK OF THE BEAST IS FOR THOSE WHO HAVE GIVEN IN TO THE RULE OF THE ANTICHRIST, AND THE DEMANDS OF THE (ONE-WORLD) RELIGIOUS SYSTEM. If they take it, they may get along with the powers that be, but they SEAL their own eternal doom with NO MORE OPPORTUNITY FOR SALVATION." If you are truly a "born-again" Christian, you needn't worry about this. You will never have to face that choice (and it WON'T be secretly implanted in you: you MUST choose), because you will already have been "raptured" out of this coming Hell on Earth! All of this takes place AFTER we are gone. THANK GOD!

BE AFRAID! BE VERY AFRAID!!!
FOR THE BEAST SURELY COMETH!

        [The BIBLE predicts] this "coming 'SUPERSTAR ANTICHRIST' who will arise in the last days, defy God, and persecute true believers. He will come in the name of peace, law, and order and will succeed in changing the systems of laws and justice....in the last days the Antichrist and nations will meet in a FINAL WAR IN ISRAEL. It will be the war of all wars. This war will, no doubt, be caused by a world-wide energy crisis. That's right, a war over oil and energy...Mankind now has stockpiled the destructive force to kill every living thing on the face of the planet. During this GREAT TRIBULATION...Satanic forces with an Army of 200 MILLION (China, our GREATEST enemy, already has this many troops - RIGHT NOW!) will kill ONE-THIRD of the world's population. Today that would mean that about TWO BILLION PEOPLE WILL BE KILLED...

        "The BIBLE predicts the coming of A NEW HEAVEN and A NEW EARTH - renewed by the Holy Spirit. CHRIST IS GOING TO RULE AS SUPREME KING and He will do away with wars, disease, disaster, and all that is evil. You can laugh at it, ignore it, and put it aside as a fantastic hoax, but just as surely as the Jew now has returned to his homeland (just as the BIBLE predicted), the Christian is going to sit as the friend of Christ in his coming kingdom. NOT ONE BIBLE PREDICTION OF THE PAST HAS FAILED and not one of these FUTURE prophecies will fail either."

[Cont. in Part 8]
