Many have stated that it is impossible to know whether ornot we are living in the last days before the second comingof Jesus Christ. However, below you will find dramaticproof that this is the last times. All of the proofs belowtaken together defy coincidence.

1. EUPHRATES RIVER TO BE DRIED UP: InRevelation 16:12,the Bible predictsthat the EuphratesRiver will be driedup to prepare theway for the kingsof the east to in-vade Israel. Thiswill happen at the

time of the battleof Armageddonaccording to verse16 of the same

chapter. The battle of Armageddon will be the final battle atwhich time Jesus Christ will return and fight on the side ofthe nation of Israel. Immediately thereafter He will estab-lish His kingdom and usher in His 1000-year reign ofpeace.On January 13th, 1990, the Indianapolis Star carried theheadline “Turkey will cut off flow of Euphrates for 1month.” The article stated that a huge reservoir had beenbuilt by Turkey. While filling up the reservoir, the flow of

the Euphrates would be stopped for one month and a con-crete plug for a diversion channel built. These things havenow been done. With this newly built dam, Turkey has theability to stop the Euphrates River at will. The conditionsfor fulfilling this 1900 year old prophecy are now in place!

2. CHINA GOES TO WAR: In Revelation 9:15-16, the Bible prophesies that an army of 200 million

soldiers will launch awar which will kill“the third part ofmen”. Never in thehistory of the world,

until our present gen-eration, has therebeen a power onearth that could field200 million soldiers.However, the lateruler of China, MaoTsetung boasted inhis diary that he

could field an army of 200 million. We see that thisprophecy pertaining to the very last times could not everhave been fulfilled until now.

3. WORLDWIDE NUMBERING SYSTEM PRE-DICTED: In Revelation chapter 13, the Bible prophesiesthat a world dictator will soon rule over a world govern-ment. He will cause all people on the earth to receive anumber without which they will be unable to buy or sell.We are seeing this prophecy fulfilled before our eyes in amost astonishing way. Nearly every human being in theworld now has been assigned a number. In America it is oursocial security number. In the last few years we have seenthis number extended to small children. A child without asocial security number cannot be declared as a dependent onan income tax return. We have seen the emergence of elec-tronic money, shopping with credit cards, and many peopleare urging the abolishment of cash. All of these things couldnot possibly have been fulfilled until this present time. Onlyafter the invention of the computer could such a worldwidenumbering system be administered.

4. THE EMERGENCE OF A NEW WORLDORDER: Revelation 13:7 and Daniel 7:23 prophesy theestablishment of aworld government.We recently haveseen the term “newworld order” beingused by the leadingpolitical people of ourworld. MikhailGorbachev has madethe term famous, and

Pope John Paul II hasreferred to it repeat-edly. Finally ourformer President,George Bush, in theChicago Tribune, September 12, 1990, said “Iraq is thefirst test for the new world order.” He stated emphaticallythat the Iraq War is Saddam Hussein against the world. TheUnited Nations troops are continually referred to as themulti-national forces. The decision has been made to estab-lish an interdependent community of nations that will rulethe world under United Nations authority. The Bible saysthat this will lead us into a great world government. We can

see this happening right before our eyes.

COINCIDENCE OR DIVINE PROVIDENCE? TheEuphrates River can be dried up, the necessary 200 millionman army is available, a worldwide numbering system ispossible because of the computer, and now the new worldorder is appearing.

Is it coincidental that all of these major prophecies pertain-ing to the last times are being fulfilled simultaneously?

Hardly!

Good seriesMy husband and I have seen your “Understanding the

Endtime” series twice. It is excellent. We are viewing the lastlesson tomorrow night with another couple. We are not surewhat to see next, but we are deciding on it tomorrow. Wethink you are an excellent teacher and have incredible in-sight.

Coreen A.

Reply: Thanks for your kind words. If you intend to continueon with prophetic studies, I would suggest that your next series of lessons could be Understanding the Endtime—Level 2 and thenLevel 3. If you feel you should move to a study of more general

Bible themes, I recommend our course, “Your Bible—A Whole New World.”

Where does it say…I want to find out where it says there will be a one-world

currency and a one-world religion. Love your show.

Joe W.

Reply: The Bible doesn’t actually say that there will be a one-world currency. It would probably be more accurate to say that theeconomic system of the Antichrist will be a cashless society.

Revelation 13 says that everyone will have to have a number with-out which a person will be unable to buy or sell. I think using anumber for buying and selling refers to the cashless society that isnow coming into being. Of course, a personal identification num-ber, a credit card number or a social security number is required inorder for the emerging electronic economic system to function.

Concerning a one-world religion, Revelation 13:8 tells us,“And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him (the beastor the Antichrist), whose names are not written in the book of lifeof the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.” We knowthat there will be two leaders in the endtime world government— the Antichrist and the False Prophet. The Antichrist will head theone-world government, and the False Prophet will head the one-world religious system.

Who’s in charge here?I love your radio program. You are the only person I have

ever heard make sense of Daniel and Revelation. My questionis this: Satan claims that the kingdoms of the world have beenhanded over to him, and he can give them to whomever hewants. The Lord did not dispute this claim. How does thissquare with Paul’s teaching that all authorities are descendedfrom God and their authority is a symbol of God’s authority?My common sense tells me these two ideas do not square up.

It’s either one or the other. The idea that people like Hitler,

Stalin and Mao are given authority from God is hard to rec-oncile. I do not believe that God would have us cooperatewith men such as these, but rather resist them and the evilthey would perpetrate on the weak and helpless.

M. Dougherty

Reply: The conflict between Satan being the god of this age andGod ruling in the affairs of men has caused many of us to wonder.The fact is, both statements are right. Satan is the god of this age,but he can only operate within the parameters that God sets for him.

An example of this is when Nebuchadnezzar destroyed Jerusalemand the Jewish temple in 586 BC. It wasn’t really God’s will that

Jerusalem be destroyed, but it was allowed to occur for the purposeof judging the people of Judah for their sin. Those people in Judah,who lived godly lives, were commanded by the prophet Jeremiah tonot fight against Nebuchadnezzar, but to willingly go into Babylon.God told them that he would bless them during the prophesied sev-enty years of captivity if they would do this. Daniel, Ezra,

Nehemiah, the Three Hebrew Children and many others obeyedthis instruction; consequently, they rose to positions of great re-sponsibility in the government of Babylon and later of Media-Persia.

On the other hand, Judah’s King Zedekiah resisted the invasion of Nebuchadnezzar and was destroyed.

The conclusion is this: We must understand the times so that

we can pray according to God’s will and act according to God’s plan. The prophecy of Daniel 11:32-33 speaks of the times inwhich we now live; “And such as do wickedly against thecovenant shall he (the Antichrist) corrupt by flatteries: but the

people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits. And they that understand among the people shall instructmany…” By understanding the times we can avoid the evil andalign ourselves with the good. We also know from this prophecyexactly what we should be doing. This endtime prophecy saysthat we who understand shall instruct many. This scripture is thereason we published the course “Understanding the Endtime.”

Daniel 7: Modern nations vs. historicI just received your Understanding the Endtime manual and

have been pouring over it. Daniel 7 describes four beasts. Youinterpret these as being of modern (our) time, yet other peo-ple’s interpretations describe them as the lion being Babylon,the bear as Media-Persia, the leopard as being Greece and thefourth beast as Rome. Can you give me scripture that supportsyour view versus the others?

Thanks so much for your program and literature.

In Christ,D. Sorenson

Reply: Daniel 8:20-21 explicitly says that the ram is the symbolof Media-Persia and that the goat is the symbol of Greece. Whywould God symbolize Media-Persia with a bear in chapter 7 andswitch to a ram in chapter 8? Why would he use a leopard to sym-bolize Greece in chapter 7 and then use a goat to symbolize Greecein chapter 8. This would simply not be consistent. Furthermore,there is no proof whatsoever that Media-Persia was ever symbolizedby a bear nor was Greece ever symbolized by a leopard.

Daniel 7:11-12 tells us that the fourth beast (the Antichrist) willbe destroyed and given to the burning flame. It goes on to say thatthe rest of the beasts (nations) prophesied in Daniel 7 will, at thissame time, have their dominion taken away, but their lives will be

prolonged for a season and a time.This simply teaches us that all of the nations of Daniel 7 will

be on the earth at the time of the Antichrist. The powers sym-bolized by the first three beasts will be allowed to live into themillennium. They will be the mortals over which the church of

Jesus Christ will rule during His 1,000-year reign.

Appreciation

I have listened to the program for two months. I am somoved by what was heard on my short-wave. I am enclosing ayearly Faith Offering of $300.

Bro. WaisaleWestern Province,Papua New Guinea

Thankful for opened eyesThank you for all that you do. Endtime Ministries has truly

opened my eyes and changed my life. Keep up the good work!

Tonya H.

Seven thundersI am a new subscriber to your magazine. I have very much

enjoyed my first few issues. I listen to the archived broadcastsof “Politics & Religion” whenever I can from your website.

I have a question about the seven thunders that utter theirvoices in Revelation chapter 10. What are the voices, andwhy is John told not to write their words?

Thank you for the work that you are doing.

D. Calhoun

Reply: I wish that I could answer your question. For manyyears I have puzzled over the seven thunders and the fact that

John was commanded to not write what they said. At this time,God has not seen fit to allow me to know this, and perhaps wewon’t know until we meet Him in the rapture.

Networks not keeping up with it?I would like to take the chance to tell you guys what your

ministry is worth to me. The Understanding the Endtimecourse has literally changed my life. Your lessons and daily

broadcasts keep me so up-to-date on world events and howthey relate to Almighty God’s plan for our world. I knowwhen I listen to your show and read your magazines that I’mgetting a true interpretation of what is going on throughoutthe world.

The information you give is never reported by the networksand frankly missed by most of the religious community, be-cause they have not understood the scriptures like you have. Iam praising and thanking God every day more and more be-cause of the blessing I receive from your ministry. One cannever take for granted the value of correct information.

Thank you and may God keep blessing you.

Your Brother in Christ,Craig W.Quinlan, TX

Trusting MaoI have a Chinese Christian friend who I am introducing to

your ministry. In fact, last night he went to his first

Understanding the Endtime Bible study. However, he saysthat the Chinese Army is less than two million in number. Itold him about Mao Tsetung’s claim that he could field 200million soldiers, but he said Mao was not someone to put anycredence in. So, this morning I researched this on the inter-net. I found that he is correct. Every number I found was lessthan 2 million. In fact, China is in the process of reducing itsmanpower in favor of high-tech weapons. What do I say tohim?

T. HershGranbury, Texas

Reply: You are correct concerning the number presently active inthe Chinese armed forces. However, the 1999 CIA Fact Book dis-closed that China had 198 million men of military age (15-49), andthat this number was increasing at the rate of 10 million per year.This illustrates that China has the potential, if there were a full mil-itary mobilization, of fielding an army of 200 million, the exactnumber of the prophesied army in Revelation 9:15-16.

selves together in a great Interfaith cele-bration of the constitution signing forthe United Religions.

The hope that had been nurtured forseveral years was that the UnitedReligions could bring unity to the reli-gious world with the same success thatthe United Nations had brought unity tothe political world. It seemed like the im-possible dream. However, I saw with myown eyes the merging of Indigenous peo-ple and Wiccans (witches) with Jewishrabbis and Roman Catholic priests.

I watched in unbelief as a Hindu ladyled the Interfaith conclave in prayer. Asshe warmed to her prayer, she fell intothe earth-worshipping refrain…Ahm.My hair stood on the back of my neck asChristian, Jew and Wiccan all joinedwith the Hindu worshipper in the eco-logical obeisance…Ahm.

“So this is how a global religion willwork,” I thought. Correct that…is work-ing!

Clinton’s Charlemagne prizeI admit being startled when I saw the

article, “Clinton Wins CharlemagnePrize.” Why in the world would our U.S.president be bestowed with the“Charlemagne Prize?”

I immediately understood what it wasall about. Charlemagne was the first em-peror of the Holy Roman Empire. It was

in 800 AD when Pope Leo III placed thecrown on Charlemagne’s head with thedeclaration, “I hereby crown you em-peror of the Holy Roman Empire.” That’show the prophesied Holy Roman Empirewas born—that infamous, but prophesiedunion between church and state.

But how did the Charlemagne Awardsuddenly re-emerge here in the year2000? The article explained. Every yearthe Charlemagne Award is given to theindividual who does the most to promotethe unification of Europe. Because of Clinton’s leadership in the Bosnian con-flict and then in Kosovo, he was deemedthe most deserving of the year’sCharlemagne Prize, given in Aachen,Germany.

But what does this have to do withprophetic fulfillments in the year 2000?Simply this—the Bible prophesies the re-vival of the Holy Roman Empire duringthe time of the Antichrist and the FalseProphet. The Antichrist will fill the roleof Charlemagne. Whoever is pope at the

time will occupy the position of the FalseProphet. This recently begun practice of awarding the Charlemagne Prize lets usknow that the prophesied revival of theHoly Roman Empire is underway.

Solving the Jerusalem questionZechariah 14:2 prophesies that

Jerusalem will be the issue that brings allthe nations of the world into the land of Israel for the final Battle of Armageddon.Since 70 AD, the city of Jerusalem hadbeen out from under the control of thenation of Israel. Not until the 1967 Six-

Day War did the entire city of Jerusalemcome back under Israeli control.

When the Oslo Accords were signedin 1993, dealing with the status of

Jerusalem was put off until later. ThePalestinian and Israeli positions on

Jerusalem were simply not reconcilable.But everyone knew that the Jerusalemissue would have to be resolved beforethere was finally peace in the MiddleEast.

With the deadline of September 13,2000, which Arafat had set for the decla-ration of Palestinian statehood, looming


An Israeli border police officer calls for an ambulance as an unidentified body lies on the street

moments after a car bomb exploded in a Jerusalem marketplace. Two people were killed and 21

were injured.As a result of Arafat's recent terror campaign against the civilian population of Israel,

Jewish support for Barak's peace initiatives has plummeted.





just ahead, President Clinton, EhudBarak and Yasser Arafat made their wayto Camp David. The summit began on

July 11th. For two weeks Arafat andBarak struggled to forge a peace agree-ment that would bring 3,000 years of Arab-Israeli animosity to a close. But on

July 25th, the talks broke down. Soon itwas revealed that the status of Jerusalem,and more specifically, the status of theTemple Mount could not be resolved.

Temple Mount will be sharedAfter the Camp David talks broke

down, Barak disclosed that the onlything they had not been able to resolvewas the Temple Mount. When thePalestinians and the Israelis reached thisimpasse, President Clinton offered abridging proposal. He proposed a sharingarrangement for the Temple Mount.

Muslims would worship at the Al AqsaMosque and the Dome of the Rock, andIsraelis would be allowed to pray on theTemple Mount, presumably north of theDome of the Rock. Barak was apparentlyprepared to accept this compromise, butArafat said, “We just can’t.”

The amazing thing about these devel-opments is that Revelation 11:1-2prophesies that the Temple Mount willbe shared in the times just ahead. Johnwas told to measure the temple, but tonot measure the outer court of the tem-

ple because it would be trodden down of the Gentiles.

Clinton’s bridging proposal providedfor the exact arrangement prophesied inscripture. Although Clinton’s solutionwas not accepted at this time, it soon willbe in one form or another.

Temple Mount underUN sovereignty

In the weeks after Camp David, effortscontinued to reach a final agreement.Barak floated the idea of placing theTemple Mount under the control of theUnited Nations.

This proposal has incredible propheticimplications. II Thessalonians 2:3-4states that the man of sin (theAntichrist) will sit in the temple of God,claiming to be God. Since the Antichristwill become an international figure, it iseasy to see how he could stand on theTemple Mount claiming to be sovereignthere, if the Temple Mount were placedunder UN sovereignty. We can only wait

to see how these events turn out!

Middle East conflictbecomes internationalized

Once Yasser Arafat saw that he hadgotten all he could from Ehud Barakthrough negotiations, he decided it wastime to play the violence card again.However, he needed an excuse forlaunching a new Intifada. Events in

Israel soon offered the excuse that he waslooking for.

Much of Israel was shocked by howmuch Barak had offered to surrender atCamp David. Every Israeli prime minis-ter had held that Jerusalem could neverbe surrendered or divided. Yet Barak of-fered to make considerable areas of

Jerusalem Palestinian territory.The straw that really broke the camel’s

back happened after Camp David. It wasreported that Barak was now willing topermanently surrender all of the TempleMount to the Palestinians. Most Israelis,even though they desperately wantpeace, couldn’t believe that PrimeMinister Barak was willing to give awaythe site of Israel’s First Temple, theSecond Temple and the place where Godchose to place His name.

Ariel Sharon, the leader of Israel’sLikud Party, felt that a line had to bedrawn. He paid a visit to the TempleMount, while declaring that Israel’s holi-est places must remain under Israeli

sovereignty forever.Even though Israelis are permitted to

visit the Temple Mount, and eventhough Sharon had been there severaltimes before, Arafat saw the perfect ex-cuse for launching a new round of terrorism. The word was given and theattacks began. This new Intifada hasbeen named the Al Aqsa Intifada.

As the death toll began to mount, an

urgent summit was called in an attemptto stop the violence. Arafat, Barak,Egyptian President Mubarak, along withrepresentatives from the U.S. and theEuropean Union gathered at Sharm elSheik for the meeting. Most significantly,UN Secretary General Kofi Annan wasin attendance.

The UN has a terrible track record of anti-Israeli bias. Consequently, Israel hadnever before allowed the United Nationsto become a player in the Middle Eastpeace process. Now, thanks to Barak, theUN has become a participant in thepeace negotiations and is being consid-ered as an administrator of the TempleMount.

A few weeks later, the Palestinians ap-peared before the UN Security Councilrequesting that a UN force intervene inthe Palestinian-Israeli dispute. Only thethreat of a U.S. veto stood between Israeland the threat of invasion by the WorldCommunity.

Events of the year 2000 certainly have

What to expectin 2001by Irvin Baxter Jr.

12 endtime JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2001

In order for us to understand whatevents are likely to occur in 2001,we need to know what the Bibleprophesies for the times ahead. Wewill focus on five major prophecies

that are in the process of being fulfilled:1. The confirmation of a covenantconcerning Jerusalem and the TempleMount, 2. A massive war that will killone-third of the world’s population,

3. Establishment of a cashless society,4. Emergence of global religious unity,5. Formation of a world government.

The confirmation of the covenantDaniel 9:27 foretells an event called

the confirming of the covenant.Through study of the prophecy, we knowthat this covenant will have to do withthe status of Jerusalem and the TempleMount. We also know that this eventwill take place seven years before theBattle of Armageddon. So why shouldwe think it is very possible that this con-firmation of the covenant will take placein 2001?

Until the rebirth of the nation of Israelin 1948, there had been no Jewish au-thority in Jerusalem since the time of the

Jewish exile in 70 AD. There has onlybeen Jewish access to the Temple Mountsince Jerusalem was reunited in 1967.

Negotiations concerning the status of Jerusalem and the Temple Mount wereheld for the first time at Camp David in

July of 2000. President Clinton, EhudBarak and Yasser Arafat are desperatelywrestling with these issues as this issue of Endtime goes to press.

So the central issues that will be in-volved in the confirmation of thecovenant are the burning issues dominat-ing the Mideast negotiations at thispresent time. It appears quite possiblethat when some kind of agreement isreached concerning Jerusalem and theTemple Mount, we will have witnessedthe confirmation of the covenant. Late-

breaking news is reporting that an agree-ment concerning Jerusalem and theTemple Mount could be reached withindays. It is totally possible that the finalseven years could have begun by the timeyou are reading this magazine.

Revelation 11:1-2 prophesies the shar-ing of the Temple Mount. According tothe passage, Jews will control the area of the temple itself, but the “outer court”will be under Gentile control. This is theexact solution to the Temple Mount dis-pute that President Clinton proposed at

FEATUREARTICLE

Opposition Likud party leader Ariel Sharon gestures toward a stretch of the Jordan Valley, which

lies in the West Bank, during a campaign stop at the Israeli army Tuvlan outpost, January 3.

Sharon, the leading contender for prime minister of Israel in the upcoming elections, put a kinder,

gentler spin on his tough talk, saying that in the name of peace he would not speak of territorial

concessions to the Palestinians.






Camp David, and this is what will soonhappen. We don’t know whether thisarrangement will be arrived at by agree-ment, by unilateral action, by war or byUnited Nations intervention. But we doknow from the prophecy that the TempleMount will be shared.

One-third of mankind will dieRevelation 9:15-16 prophesies, “And

the four angels were loosed, which wereprepared for an hour, and a day, and amonth, and a year, for to slay the thirdpart of men. And the number of thearmy of the horsemen was two hundredthousand thousand: and I heard thenumber of them.”

This passage gives us the most omi-nous prophecy of the entire Bible. Itstates that an army of 200 million willtrigger a war that will kill one-third of

the world’s population. There is one na-tion at this present time that can field anarmy of 200 million—China. The 1999CIA Fact Book stated that China had198 million men of military age (15-49).That figure topped 200 million in theyear 2000.

Zhang Wannian, the most powerfulmilitary leader in China next toPresident Ziang Zemin, stated in

November of 2000 that war over theTaiwan issue was certain within the nextfive years. We know for certain from

scripture that this war has to happen be-fore the last three and one-half years of the final seven year period. Since we areobviously on the brink of the final sevenyears beginning, the China War couldhappen at any time. There is nothing inthe prophecies that preclude this warfrom occurring before the final sevenyears begin.

A cashless societyRevelation 13:16-18 speaks of a time

when every person on earth will have tohave a number, without which he will beunable to buy anything or sell anything.This 2,000-year-old prophecy of an eco-nomic system controlled by numbersseemed to be an impossibility until theinvention of the computer and then theInternet.

The fulfillment of this prophecy couldhappen so easily now. Each year themove toward electronic banking and e-commerce escalates. It is obvious thatthe fulfillment of the prophecy of a com-

ing cashless society is only a matter of time. Progress toward this electronic eco-nomic system will continue in the year2001.

A global religious systemThe greatest strides ever were made to-

ward the prophesied one-world religionin the year 2000. The signing of the con-stitution of the United Religions and theholding of the Millennium PeaceSummit at the United Nations were thetwo most important advances intoInterfaithism to date. We can expect this

campaign to promote Interfaithism andthe acceptance of all religions as validforms of worship to continue.

The Vatican has just admitted for thefirst time that the present pope, JohnPaul II, suffers from Parkinson’s disease.Many in the Roman Catholic Churchexpect this illness to force John Paul’sresignation. If this should happen, thenext pope will certainly play a criticalrole in the fulfilling of endtime prophecy.It is totally within the realm of possibil-ity that the new pope could be the FalseProphet himself—and he could take of-fice in 2001.

One-world governmentThe year 2000 witnessed the two most

significant steps into world governmentsince the United Nations was born in1945.

The Millennium Declaration wasadopted by 1,000 religious leaders whogathered at the UN on August 28-31,2000. One week later on September 6-8,

2000, 160 heads-of-state came togetherat the UN for the Millennium Summit.They also unanimously adopted theMillennium Declaration.

The Millennium Declaration sets for-ward the vision, the philosophy and theplan of action for the New World Order.We will hear much about theMillennium Declaration and its princi-ples in 2001 as the United Nationspushes to make its one-world govern-ment vision a reality.

On December 31, 2000, PresidentClinton ordered the signing of theInternational Criminal Court Statute of Rome. This statute provides for theestablishment of a permanentInternational Criminal Court that willenforce the edicts of the global govern-ment of the UN. The ICC statute mustbe ratified by 60 nations before it can ac-

tually begin to operate. Twenty-sevennations have now given ratification. It isvery likely, given President Clinton’ssigning order, that the remaining ratifica-tions will occur in 2001.

The establishment of an internationalcourt system is the most horrendous de-velopment since the world governmentstructure of the UN was launched in1945. It will have the power to arrest andplace on trial citizens from anywhere inthe world, whether that citizen’s govern-ment approves or not. This court system

will undoubtedly be the mechanism usedby the Antichrist to perpetrate the GreatTribulation upon mankind. Thank God,this time of great persecution is prophe-sied to only last for three and one-half years!

What should we do?The year 2001 could very well be the

most important year of prophetic fulfill-ment since the year that Jesus Christ wascrucified. So what should we be doing?

I Timothy 4:16 tells us that we mustsave ourselves and then save those thatwill hear us. Jesus said that this gospel of the kingdom must be preached in all theworld, and then the end would come.World evangelism must be accelerated atan unprecedented rate!

UN Adopts PlanForWorld GovernmentIs Mikhail Gorbachev the Guiding Hand

behind the New World Order? by Irvin Baxter Jr.

14 endtime JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2001

On August 28-31, 2000,one-thousand religiousleaders converged uponUnited Nations’ worldgovernment headquarters

in New York for what was called theMillennium Peace Summit. This was the

first religious meeting ever held at theUnited Nations.

The stated goal of this religious con-clave was for the world’s religious leadersto demonstrate solidarity with the politi-cal leaders of the world by signing adocument called the MillenniumDeclaration. The religious leadersadopted the Declaration, and the pur-pose of the meeting’s initiator, TedTurner, was accomplished.

The following week on September 6-8,history’s largest meeting of heads-of-statewas convened at the UN. World leaderscame to open the fifty-fifth session of theUN General Assembly, to usher in the21st Century and to join the world’s reli-gious leaders in signing the MillenniumDeclaration.

So what is the big deal about this doc-ument called the MillenniumDeclaration? Why would religious lead-ers and political leaders spend millions of dollars just to gather for the signing of adocument that most people have never

even heard of? Is there something goingon that we need to know about?

United Nations Secretary GeneralKofi Annan stated that the MillenniumDeclaration is one of the most importantdocuments of all history. Is he overstatingthe fact, or is there something of tremen-dous importance transpiring here?

The Millennium DeclarationFor many years those people who be-

lieve that world government is the

answer to peace on earth have yearnedfor a statement of purpose, a unifying be-lief system, and a plan of action. Theglobalists believed that a defining docu-ment was needed in order to rally thepeoples of the world toward taking theneeded remaining steps into the envi-sioned promised land of globalgovernance.

The turn of the millennium, with all of its symbolism, seemed to be the perfecttime to produce and adopt the desired

“As the most universal and most rep-

resentative organization in the world,the United Nations must play the centralrole.”

The purpose of citing the above quotesis not to comment on the good or bad of these principles. We merely want toshow that both the Earth Charter andthe Summit Declaration deal with virtu-ally the same issues. We also want to

illustrate that, contrary to the opinion of some, ex-Soviet leader MikhailGorbachev is still very much a player onthe world scene.

Furthermore, it is vital that we fullyappreciate the pivotal role that globalplanners see the Millennium Declarationplaying.

Millennium Declaration—theagenda for world government

On December 21, 2000, the UN NewsCentre issued the following release:“Calling last September’s MillenniumDeclaration ‘one of the most importantdocuments of our time,’ the President of the United Nations General Assemblytoday, emphasized the importance of keeping alive the momentum generatedat the Millennium Summit in New York,where over 150 leaders gathered to de-fine—and find ways to overcome—theproblems facing the world today.

“‘If we can achieve the targets of theSummit Declaration, we will have an

enormous impact on our world,’ GeneralAssembly President Harri Holkeri saidduring his end-of-year press conferenceat UN Headquarters in New York.

“Mr. Holkeri said he was ‘very pleased’that the General Assembly had estab-lished a follow-up mechanism to theMillennium Summit. ‘What theAssembly did was to identify whose re-sponsibility it is to implement the

Declaration and how to monitor thisprocess in a pro-active way,’ he said,adding that the plan he had elaboratedto ‘firmly establish the SummitDeclaration as an integral part of the on-going work of the UN’ had also beenendorsed by the Assembly last week”.

United Nations Secretary GeneralKofi Annan had this to say about the im-portance of the Millennium Declaration:“Indeed, my main hope for 2001 is that itwill be the year when things really startto change and when the world sees theMillennium Declaration not just aswords” (Annan press conference,12/20/00).

Make no mistake. There is no docu-ment in existence today, outside of theUN Charter itself, more important to theestablishment of world government thanthe Millennium Declaration. And don’tforget…Mikhail Gorbachev has his fin-gerprints all over it!

Can the one-world governmentprophesied in the Bible be far behind?!❏

PROPHECYINSIGHT


The Chernobyl NuclearPower Plant closed onFriday, December 15, 2000.The event made front-pagenews worldwide, as people

reminisced about the world’s worst nu-clear disaster. There was no champagne.

Nobody reveled in the glory of it all. The

nostalgia was dark. So dark, in fact, manyof the news reports filed on the event in-cluded a Bible reference—an ominousprophecy from Revelation.

You see, it so happens that the veryname of the power plant, Chernobyl, ap-pears in the 8th Chapter of the book of Revelation. And the event described fitswhat happened when the accident oc-curred.

The disaster occurred on April 26,1986, in the Ukraine, part of the then-Soviet Union. Many innocent peopledied that day. More died in the ensuingweeks. And millions, yes millions, morewill be laid to rest long before their nat-ural time—their bones helplesslyinfected with the radioactive materialCesium-137.

The Chernobyl meltdown occurredduring a test of the plant’s safety systems.Human error was involved. Six errors tobe exact. The results were devastating.Many died.

But there were other results. Many

died, but many were saved. This is be-cause many were made aware of theprophecy and came to trust in the truthof God’s Word. After all, what other con-clusion can a person come to uponrealizing the Bible predicted theChernobyl catastrophe 1,900 years in ad-vance?

The prophecyThe thought of Bible prophecy being

quoted by the secular media…well, it justbrings a smile to the face of prophecyteachers and Bible lovers of all types. Astar will fall from heaven, reads theprophecy. It will be a burning star, and itwill fall upon one-third of the rivers.These waters will become poisoned, andmany people will die because of the poi-soned waters. And, oh yes, the star willhave a name. It will be calledWormwood.

Employees of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant watch a large screen in the plant's recreational

hall as a switch is thrown shutting down Chernobyl's third reactor, December 15, 2000. The third

reactor was the last functioning one at the site of the world's worst nuclear disaster in 1986.

Writing on the screen top right reads: “Live”.

Chernobyl ShutsDownProphecy Comes to Light by Eddie Sax





That’s it—the entire Third Trumpetprophecy in a nutshell. That’s what allthe hullabaloo is about.

Did Chernobyl fulfill the ThirdTrumpet? Oddly, the news media seemsto think the evidence demands a secondlook at the very least. We may very wellbe dealing here with something morethan a mere passing coincidence. So let’stake a look for ourselves. Let’s explorewhat happened on that fateful spring dayat Chernobyl. Our first of business, how-ever, will be to look at…The Name.

Does Chernobyl really meanwormwood?

The Chernobyl Disaster, a secular bookby Soviet-born Viktor Haynes, beginsnot with an introduction, but with theprophecy and a quote from The ConciseOxford Dictionary, 6th edition:“Chernobyl is a Russian transliteration of the Ukrainian word ‘chornobyl’, whichin English means wormwood, ‘a peren-nial herb of genus Artemisia with bitter,

tonic, and stimulating qualities used inpreparation of vermouth, absinth and inmedicine.” According to the Dictionaryof the Russian Language by S. Ozhegov,the word “chernobylnik” means “a vari-ety of absinthe (wormwood) withred-brown or deep purple stem.” Thebook Chernobyl: A Documentary Story byIurii Shcherbak, translated from theUkrainian language, says, “AncientChernobyl gave its bitter name(Chernobyl is the common wormwood)to the powerful nuclear power stationwhose construction began in 1971.”

Another secular source is a documen-tary about the disaster by the Films forHumanities and Sciences. A team of

Japanese scientists and investigative re-porters went to Europe to examine theeffects of the accident. Its film is called“Chernobyl—The Taste of Wormwood.”It begins with the prophecy. It is nevermentioned again.

Most striking is the testimony of HansBlix, Executive Director of the

International Atomic Energy Agency, ina speech given before the UN GeneralAssembly on October 23, 1990. To thisgreat body he quoted Revelation 8:10-11and said, “In Slavic languages, includingthe Ukrainian and Byelorussian lan-guages, there is a word ‘chernobyl’, whichmeans wormwood, bitter grass. This has astriking relevance to the Chernobyltragedy. I am no fatalist. I do not believein the blind inevitability of fate, but whocan fail to be moved by these tragic andelegiac words from Revelation, whichmust leave their indelible imprint on theheart.”

Any good unabridged dictionary willhave about 500,000 words. Includingtechnical and medical terms, it is esti-mated there are 2.5 million words in theEnglish language. One of those words iswormwood. And it’s the name of the nu-clear power plant that released ten timesthe amount of radiation into the atmos-phere than the atomic bomb atHiroshima released 41 years earlier.

How did this happen? Did GodAlmighty reach into His unabridged dic-tionary and select a name for thisprophecy at random? Or did He fore-know this would be the name of the siteof the world’s worst nuclear disaster? Thisis a question every person must answerfor themselves. Coincidence? One in500,000? One in 2.5 million? Or thehand of God?

There’s more.

Many will die from the watersLet’s look at the specific wording of the

prophecy: “And the third angel sounded,and there fell a great star from heaven,burning as it were a lamp, and it fell uponthe third part of the rivers, and upon thefountains of waters; And the name of thestar is called Wormwood: and the thirdpart of the waters became wormwood;

and many men died of the waters, be-cause they were made bitter.”(Revelation 8:10-11)

Notice that many would die when theThird Trumpet blows. How the deathswould occur is very specifically stated inverse 10. It would be because of the wa-ters—the waters would be made bitter.They would become “wormwood.”

Relatively speaking, the number of deaths that resulted directly from themeltdown itself, about 125,000, were few

compared to the millions who have beenpoisoned with radiation. Over 200 mil-lion are estimated to have experiencedexcess exposure, 3.5 million seriously.But are the deaths linked to the water?

The winds blew, the rains fellThe first explosion came with such a

force it blew the two million pound con-crete lid off of the reactor. It went intothe air, and came down cocked leavingthe atmosphere fully exposed to a nu-clear fire for the next three weeks. Asecond explosion hit just a few secondsafter the first explosion. Radioactive ma-terial was blasted one mile up into the

Endtime editor Irvin Baxter Jr. relates how he first came to un-derstand the significance of this prophecy:

To conclude that the Third Trumpet prophecy was fulfilledin 1986 was contrary to everything I had been taught in thepast. Like many others I was made to understand all of my lifethat the 7 Trumpets would sound during the Great Tribulation.I started looking in my Bible for proof. To my astonishment Ifound none. There are no scriptures which teach that theTrumpets would all be contained within the final 3 1/2 yearGreat Tribulation, or even within the final seven years.

I have been teaching prophecy for over thirty years, and a lotof wild theories have come across my desk. I receive mail con-stantly telling me why Henry Kissinger is the Antichrist. Someexplain how, if you let this letter equal this letter, and that let-ter equal that, then multiply the sum by nine and turn yourresult upside down, you end up with the number 666. Of course, we all know that Ronald Wilson Reagan was going tobe the Antichrist, because Ronald has six letters, Wilson hassix letters and Reagan has six letters. Yes, there are a lot of wildtheories out there about Bible prophecy. Bible prophecy, how-

ever, is of God. Even though there have been mistakenpretations, there are also true and correct interpretationGod intended for someone to understand.

Starting in late 1986, I began to hear rumors thRussian word for wormwood was Chernobyl. I sloughedFrankly, I was busy, and I thought this was just another those prophecy rumors. I disregarded it for a number ofIn 1995, however, I was sitting in my office writinUnderstanding the Endtime course. We were behind o

deadlines, and I was working very hard at my computeparticular day. Things were coming together really wellwas excited. I was flying; making tremendous progress! while I was all alone in my office, I felt like the Lord spme and said, “Do you remember that thing you heard aboRussian word for wormwood being Chernobyl? I want check that out.”

I was all by myself. It was just me and God. I said, “Goknow I don’t have time to do that right now. I’m very have got to get this course done. I’m three months behinI don’t have time to spend three or four weeks in the

sky. The wind caught the radiation, andcarried it into Scandinavia, NorthernItaly, Germany, Great Britain and, in adiluted form, to the east coast of theUnited States.

Then the rains came. It rained inces-santly for the next five days. Theradioactivity was transferred from theclouds down into the soil. The mostdeadly thing about the rain was that thewater flowed into the rivers. Thesedeadly rivers then wound their waythroughout all of Europe.

Remember the prophecy. It says thatmany men died because of the waters —because the waters were made bitter. Asthese waters flowed through Europe,everyone who drank of those waters ab-sorbed the nuclide Cesium 137 into theirbody. Cesium 137 has a half-life of thirtyyears. It goes into the bone marrow and

can lay there for thirty years before itcauses cancer.Doctors and scientists say that the

worst is yet to come. Generations will beaffected. They do not even know how topredict the far reaching implications of the Chernobyl nuclear accident.

Coincidence?The prophecy of the Third Trumpet

emphasizes that the waters were madebitter by a star called “Chernobyl.” The

greater the rainfall, the greater was theamount of radioactivity. Much of Europewas affected. To those who write The

Name off as coincidence, consider that

the Bible said many would die. Manydied. But it’s more specific. It foretoldwhat they would die from. Gunshot?Great hailstones? The beast? A blackhorse? No. Many would die because thewaters were made bitter.

Name your own odds. Then multiplythese odds by 500,000 and you will bestaring at your personal level of coinci-dence to overlook.

The prophecy says “the third part” of the rivers and fountains of waters would

be affected. It does not specify the thirdpart of what. Europe’s waters? The earth’swaters? The Bible is silent on this issue.Were one-third of Europe’s waters madebitter? Maybe. We don’t know. We’llnever know. But God does. Shall weoverlook the preponderance of otherproof because this one detail cannot benailed down? When is enough enough?Again, this is a decision that everyonewill have to make individually. It is not asalvation issue.

On the tenth anniversary of theChernobyl disaster, Ukrainian writerVictor Lychyk penned an article for theUkrainian Weekly, May 26, 1996 entitled,“Did the Bible Predict the Chornobyl

Nuclear Disaster?” Endtime requestedpermission to reprint the article. The re-quest was denied. You can see it in full ath t t p : / / w w w . u k r w e e k l y . c o m /

ying to prove whether this is true or not true.” You have tonderstand — it was just me and Him. We were just… sort of ving a conversation. To tell you the truth, the thought of

opping my work on Understanding the Endtime, and launch-g into what I felt would be a wild goose chase was somewhatnoying. It seemed unreasonable.But then, it was as though the Lord spoke back to me, andd, “Look, it won’t take you any time. Just call the library, andey will do the research for you.”

Well, seeing Who it was, I was a little afraid to disregardhat I was hearing. In frustration, I yanked the drawer open toy desk, pulled out my phone book and dialed the referencepartment at our public library. I said, “Ma’am, this is Pastor

vin Baxter. I have heard a rumor that the Russian word forormwood is Chernobyl. Is there is any way that you could re-arch that for me and tell me whether or not it is true?”What she said stunned me. “Yes, that is true. You see, theussians used to take wormwood for medicinal purposes, ande wormwood would turn their tongues black. The Russianord for black is ‘chernin.’ This is why they called wormwood

‘chernobyl.’” She then proceeded to rattle off the most horri-ble string of information you have ever heard in your life.

“I don’t doubt that what you are telling me is true,” I replied,“but I am going to write an article on this, and I would like tohave documentation. Is there any way you can help me withthis?”

She called me back twenty minutes later with books andpage numbers proving that Chernobyl was the Ukrainian andRussian word for wormwood.

Just before I hung up the phone, I said, “Ma’am, I have to askyou one more question. It’s not normal that you would haveknown all of these things off of the top of your head. How didyou happen to know this?”

This was her response: “Well, I’m working on my doctoratein Russian right now, and I have just been studying thesethings.”

Needless to say, when I hung up that phone I was in awe. Itmade me reappraise the whole Third Trumpet prophecy. I nowhad proof that the Russian word for wormwood wasChernobyl.

the job is not pleasant, Sharon is yourman.

When it became known that Barakhad offered to surrender the TempleMount, Sharon scheduled a visit to thesite of the Holy of Holies to declare,“We will never surrender this site of ourFirst Temple and our Second Temple.Arafat used Sharon’s visit as an excuse tolaunch a new round of terrorism forwhich Sharon has received much of theblame.

Barak thought that Sharon, at 72 yearsof age, would be easy to defeat. But ithasn’t quite turned out that way.

As a matter of fact, the latest reportsare placing Sharon 28 percentage pointsahead in the polls with the election amere four weeks away.

The tide has turned

Many lovers of Israel have watchedwith dismay as the Jewish nation seemedpowerless to stop the blasphemous poli-cies of Ehud Barak. It was as though the

Jewish people were sheep without a shep-herd. When Sharon walked onto theTemple Mount, declaring that Israelmust never surrender the place that Godchose to place His name, the tide inIsrael began to turn.

Over the next two months, a new un-derstanding dawned on the people of Israel. They had been shocked that their

leader, Barak, had offered to surrender somuch to the Palestinians. They had beenmore shocked that Arafat had rejectedthis offer, demanding even more. TheIsraeli public finally realized that Arafatwould never be satisfied until they weredriven into the sea.

Suddenly the appeasement policies of Ehud Barak became abhorrent to thevast majority, and the unapologeticIsraeli policies of Ariel Sharon suddenlymade a whole lot of sense.

On Monday, January 8th, a Jerusalemrally was held. This rally was for the solepurpose of demonstrating Israel’s supportfor an undivided Israeli Jerusalem.Between 300,000 and 400,000 Israelislinked hands all the way around the OldCity of Jerusalem.

With the words “Jerusalem, I pledge”projected onto the wall near Jaffa Gateand torches blazing along the ramparts,the crowd sang in unison, “If I forget theeO Jerusalem, let my right hand forget itscunning.”

Formula for ArmageddonMany opponents of Ariel Sharon say

that a vote for Sharon is a vote forArmageddon—and they may be right.We don’t yet know the path that eventswill take. But we do know that Israel hasan unavoidable date with Armageddon.

While all the connotations concerningArmageddon have been bad, perhaps weshould be reminded of the positive sideof what will happen there. It is atArmageddon that Israel will fight for her

Promised Land. Even though she willteeter on the brink of defeat and total an-nihilation, Israel’s Messiah will intervenein that last battle and will save her. It isat Armageddon that redemption willcome to Israel. Her enemies will be de-stroyed. And “…the LORD shall be king

over all the earth: in that day shall therebe one LORD, and his name one”(Zechariah 14:9). Furthermore, Israelwill finally know what that one name of the LORD is—Jesus! ❏


Israeli protesters stand with placards at the entrance of the walled Old City of Jerusalem near the

Jaffa Gate leading to the Christian quarter, January 8. The Temple Mount has now become the

sole remaining issue of contention in the Middle East. Not coincidentally, the Bible prophesies that

such will be the case.

The mere mention of the word Armageddon evokesominous images of apocalyptic slaughter, nuclearholocaust and blood flowing to the horse bridles.We never look at the bright side of the Bible’sprophecies about the world’s final war.

But, believe it or not, there is a bright side, a very bright side.It is at Armageddon that the kingdoms of this world becomethe kingdoms of our Lord and His Christ (Revelation 11:15).This is the time when the failed human governments of this

earth will be abolished, and we will crown Jesus King of kingsand Lord of lords.The Jewish people will bear the brunt of the Battle of

Armageddon. Scripture indicates that one-third of Israel couldpossibly be destroyed in that battle. On the other hand, it is atArmageddon that the Jewish nation will end its 4,000-yearsearch for the Messiah.

Zechariah 14:3-4 indicates that Jesus will intervene onIsrael’s behalf and that He will actually stand on the Mount of Olives. It is at that time that Israel will rush to the Mount of Olives to greet Him! According to Zechariah 13:6, they willnotice the nail scars in His hands and feet and will ask howthey got there. The answer will remove the veil from Israel’s

eyes, and the entire nation will embrace Jesus as their Messiahand their Lord.

What an incredible turn of events! One minute, Israel will befighting for her very existence. The next minute, she will beglorying in the face-to-face introduction to her Messiah!

It is also at Armageddon that the tyrannical one-world gov-ernment of the Antichrist will be destroyed. At this same time,the Antichrist and the False Prophet will be cast alive into thelake of fire.

Another major event that happens at this time is describedin Matthew 24:30-31, "And then shall appear the sign of theSon of man in heaven: ant then shall all the tribes of the earthmourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the cloudsof heaven with power and great glory. And he shall send Hisangels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather to-gether his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven tothe other."

So, as you can see, not all is doom and gloom when we thinkof Armageddon. Yes, tragic things will occur there. But ab-solutely wonderful things will happen there as well.

The next time you think of Armageddon, look beyond thecatastrophic events that are destined to occur. Know that it isat Armageddon that the Old World Order will be abolishedand the true New World Order of Jesus Christ will be perma-nent ushered in! ❏

ANALYSIS: Did the Bible predict the Chornobyl nuclear disaster?

by Victor Lychyk

he April 26 anniversary of the world's worst nuclear power plant accident at the Chornobyl power

ation in Ukraine has drawn attention to the massive amount of problems that remain or are even

owing 10 years after the explosion and fire occurred. At conferences and lectures, as well as in theass media, the catastrophic ecological, medical and economic consequences of the accident have be

amined.

ome have suggested the accident and its far-reaching and deadly effects could have been predicted a

erefore, avoided. For example, on March 27, 1986, exactly one month before reactor No. 4 explode

article appeared in the weekly newspaper Literaturna Ukraina that described in detail numerous

oblems that had besieged the plant during the construction, then in progress, of reactor No. 5. They

cluded errors in planning, shortages and defects in construction materials, and low worker morale.

uthor Liubov Kovalevska, then editor of the Prypiat newspaper Trybuna Enerhetykya, did not limitrself to problems surrounding the fifth reactor. Rather, she pointed out that "the problems of the fir

ergy block were passed on to the second, the second to the third, and so on. And together with this

panded...and there were a huge number of unsolved problems." While at the time Ms. Kovalevska

proached and demoted by local officials for writing this piece, her article came to be cited by many

oth in Ukraine and the West as a warning that should have been heeded in order to avert the disaster

ould occur just one month later.

Was the accident prophesied?

it possible, however, that the Chornobyl disaster could have been predicted or, more precisely,

ophesied much earlier, nearly 2,000 years ago in the Bible?

o answer this question, let us first examine what the word "chornobyl," after which the town and

uclear plant are named, means in Ukrainian.

he term "chornobyl" refers to a plant that belongs to the genus Artemisia and the species vulgaris. I

scribed as a "perennial herbaceous plant with a brownish-black stem used in medicine; a variety of

ormwood." In fact, all plants of the genus Artemisia are commonly referred to as wormwood.

ormwood is noted for its strong fragrance and bitter taste. Its extract is used for making alcoholic

verages such as wormwood wine or vermouth. Medicinally, it has been used to expel worms from

ody and received its name because of this function.

he Bible contains several references to wormwood. The one that concerns us here occurs in the last

ook of the New Testament, Revelations. In this book the apostle John describes the vision he receiv

the Apocalypse that will occur at the end of the world. In Revelation 8 he writes:

And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and

ll upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of water. And the name of the star is call

ormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters

cause they were made bitter."

ANALYSIS: Did the Bible predict the Chornobyl nuclear disaster? (05/26/96)

ttp://www.ukrweekly.com/Archive/1996/219619.shtml (1 of 4) [1/18/2001 2:06:06 PM]



The burning star

this passage, wormwood is clearly a harbinger of great misfortune. If the images presented here ar

terpreted in terms of the disaster at Chornobyl, then the great burning star could symbolize the

plosions and fire at the plant. The fire lasted for 10 days and was marked by heroic efforts of nume

ean-up workers, or "liquidators." Ultimately, hundreds of thousands of liquidators were dispatched

e forbidden zone in the months following the accident. Many of them have since died or have falle

a result of the massive doses of radiation that they received.

The rivers and fountains of water

nother aspect of the misfortune described in these verses is the deadly contamination of a great amo

water. If we look at the location of Chornobyl on the map, we find that it is situated on the Prypiat

ver, not far from where it flows into the Dnipro River's Kyiv Reservoir, the third largest reservoir i

kraine, with a surface area of 922 square kilometers. One of the major uses of this reservoir is to sto

inking water.

mmediately after the reactor explosion, researchers noted radioactive contamination of the Dnipro,

ypiat and other rivers. During the past 10 years, the over-all level of radioactive contamination of rater itself has fallen, though it should be noted that radionuclides tend to settle on the bottom of the

ver.

o the potential for future contamination remains. According to a recent report in The Washington Po

he immediate hazard" is that the sarcophagus, the structure that houses destroyed reactor No. 4, isteriorating and "leaching radiation into the ground water that slowly is making its way to the nearb

nipro River. Radioactive contamination of the Dnipro would threaten drinking water for Kyiv, just

ownstream, and many other Ukrainian cities."

ccording to Ukrainian physician, medical researcher and Ukraine's current Ambassador to the U.S.

hcherbak, it is not only radiation from the decaying sarcophagus, but also from hundreds of hastily

ade "burial sites" filled with radioactive waste in the 30-kilometer exclusion zone around Chornoby

at "may account for the substantial contamination of the sediments of the Dnipro River and its

butary, the Prypiat, which supply water for 30 million people." These repositories of radioactivity mremoved if further contamination is to be prevented.

eturning to the passage from Revelations, it is possible that the rivers referred to are the Prypiat and

nipro (among others), and that the "fountains of water" are the Kyiv Reservoir and other affected

urces of drinking water.

The source of contamination: wormwood

is understandable why the apostle John uses wormwood as a symbol for the substance that makes t

ater bitter and contaminates it. As noted above, wormwood is proverbial for the bitter taste of its

tract. Yet the bitterness of wormwood is to be understood not only literally, in terms of its flavor, b

so figuratively, in terms of a bitter experience. After all, we see in this passage that the water it

oisoned caused the deaths of many.

his figurative usage of wormwood goes as far back as the Old Testament. In the Book of Amos, for

ample, the author-prophet writes "You have turned justice into poison, and righteousness into





ormwood" (7:12). The author of Lamentations bemoans the fact that "He hath filled me with bittern

hath made me drunken with wormwood" (3:15) and also writes about "Remembering mine afflict

d my misery, the wormwood and the gall" (3:19).

his meaning of the word has survived through the ages up to modern times and is found in many

ltures and languages, including English. In the Oxford English Dictionary, for example, the second

eaning of wormwood is an "emblem or type of what is bitter and grievous to the soul."

his meaning is echoed in other lexicographic references and in literature. In Shakespeare's "HamletAct III, Scene 2), the title character uses this word in an aside to the audience. In mid-19th century

merica, Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote in "Uncle Tom's Cabin" that "My life is bitter as wormwood.

And the name of the star...

hile the connection between wormwood and bitterness may be clear, one can still ask why John chname a star after this plant. The answer may lie in taking a closer look at the wormwood plants

emselves. We already know that wormwoods comprise the genus Artemisia. According to the bota

stem of classification, Artemisia belongs to the family Asteraceae, which belongs to the order

sterales which, in turn, belongs to the subclass Asteridae. What the family, order and subclass name

ve in common is their root, namely, aster, which is the Greek and Latin root meaning "star".

he root aster is in all likelihood used to describe the numerous plants in these groups because their

ape in some way resembles that of a star. If we think of plants that belong to the other Asterales, su

asters, marigolds, daisies and sunflowers, the resemblance to the star shape becomes clear. The veord sunflower suggests a star-like appearance because the sun is, of course, a star. While the flower

e wormwood may not be as obviously reminiscent of a star as the sunflower or the aster, it may be

ossible that something about the wormwood's appearance, in addition to its taste and meaning, caus

hn to choose it as the name for the star in the quoted passage.

Prophecy or coincidence?

has been suggested that there are numerous similarities between the events described in Rev. 8:10-

d the Chornobyl nuclear power plant disaster. The burning star recalls the explosion and fire, the

oisoned rivers and fountains of water in the Bible bring to mind the contaminated rivers and water

servoirs affected by the Chornobyl plant's unleashed radioactivity, the name of the Biblical star

ormwood has the same meaning as the name of the Ukrainian town where the disaster occurred.

o the similarities between the tragedy at Chornobyl and Revelations 8:10-11 imply that this Biblica

ssage contains a prophecy that has been fulfilled, or are they merely a coincidence? This is a decis

at everyone will have to make individually.owever one answers this question on this, the 10th anniversary of the Chornobyl disaster, everythin

ust be done to ensure that the destroyed but still dangerous reactor is safely sealed, the present situa

contained, those people affected by the explosion receive the care they deserve, and all necessary

ecautions are taken so that no such nuclear catastrophe occurs in the future.

one accepts Rev. 8:10-11 as prophecy, then at least such measures would ensure that these verses

present a prophecy that has already been fulfilled, and do not contain the prophecy of a worse disas

t to come, a prophecy to be fulfilled if the appropriate measures are not taken.
