    Many have stated that it is impossible to know whether or not we are living in the last days

    before the second coming of Jesus Christ. However, below you will find dramatic proof that

    these are the endtimes. The proofs below defy coincidence.

    Euphrates River to Be Dried Up In Revelation 16:12, the Bible predicts that the Euphrates River will be dried up to prepare the way for the kings of the east to invade Israel. This will happen at the time of the battle of Armageddon according to verse 16 of the same chapter. The battle of Armageddon will be the final battle at which time Jesus will return and fight on the side of the nation of Israel. Immediately thereafter He will establish His kingdom and usher in Hisone thousand-year reign of peace. On January 13, 1990, the Indianapolis Starcarried the headline Turkey Will Cut Off Flow of Euphrates for One Month. The article stated that a huge reservoir had been built by Turkey. While filling up the reservoir, theflow of the Euphrates would be stopped for one month and a concrete plug for a diversion channel built. These things have now been done. With this newly built dam, Turkey has the ability to stop the Euphrates River at will. The conditions for fulfilling this

    1,900 year-old prophecy are now in place.

    In Revelation 9:15-16,the Bible prophesies that an army of 200 million soldiers will launch a war which would kill the third part of men. Never in thehistory of the world until our present generation has there been a power on earth that could field 200 million soldiers. However,the late ruler of China, Mao Tse Tung boasted in his diary that he could field an army of 200 million. The CIA World Factbookreports that in the year 2001, it is estimated that China has 200,886,946 men of military age, and this number is growing by 10million per year.

    In Revelation 13, the Bible prophesies that a world dictator will soon rule over a world government. He will cause all people in the earth to receive a number without whichthey will be unable to buy or sell. We are seeing this prophecy fulfilled before our eyes in a most astonishing way. Nearly every human being in the world now has been assigned a number. In America it is our Social Security number. In the past few years, we have seen this number extended to newborns. A child without a Social Security number cannot be declared as a dependent on an income tax return. We have seen the emergence of electronic money, shopping with credit cards, and many people urgingthe abolishment of cash. All of these things could not possibly have been fulfilled until this present time. Only after the inventionof the computer could such a worldwide numbering system be administered.

    Revelation 13:7 andDaniel 7:23 prophesy the establishment of a world government. The term New World Order has become a prevalent phrase inthe worlds political culture. Mikhail Gorbachev made the term famous, and Pope John Paul II has referred to it repeatedly. Inthe September 12, 1990 issue of the Chicago Tribune , our former president George Bush said, Iraq is the first test for the New World Order. He emphatically stated that the Iraq War is Saddam Hussein against the world. The United Nations troops arecontinually referred to as the multi-national forces. The decision has been made to establish an interdependent community of nations that will rule the world under United Nations authority. The Bible says that this will lead us into a great world govern-ment. The formation of this government is at hand.

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

    WHAT ISENDTIME MAGAZINE?In 1968, Irvin Baxter discovered the United St

    and other modern nations in the Bible. He also fothe Berlin Wall in the Bible and that one day it wto be torn down, reuniting Germany, and thateventwould be the catalyst to spark an international move-ment called the New World Order. These thihave now come to pass.

    Irvin Baxter, a Pentecostal minister, begaEndtime ministries in 1986 when he wrot

    A Message For The President,a book explaining themajor prophecies of the Bible which he had beteaching since 1968.

    After the fall of the Berlin Wall, prophetfulfillment accelerated rapidly. The decision wmade to launchENDTIME. The purpose of themagazine is to explain the prophecies of the Biand to show that they are now being fulfilled intricate detail.

    s events in theMiddle East con-tinue to dominate

    world news head-lines, we are con-tinually analyzing

    what it all means in the context of Bibleprophecy. One of the more subtle yet stunning news items in the last several weeks was the selection of Paul Wolfowitzas the Jerusalem Posts Man of the Year. Wol-fowitz was the centralfigure in our video Did 9/11 Start World War III? His designa-tion as Man of the Yearby the Jerusalem Post

    reaffirms our con-tention that he was thecentral figure in Ameri-cas invasion of Iraq.Thats our lead story inthis edition.

    One of the first thingsthat happened whenIsrael entered the Sec-ond Temple Era was thebuilding of the walls of Jerusalem so that the citizens could be secure. The parallelbetween that wall and the security wall that Israel is presently constructing is investi-gated in this edition under the title,Nehemiahs Wall & The Third TempleRevival.

    As you recall, the cover story of our pre- vious edition of ENDTIME was about theEpiscopal Churchs controversial appoint-ment of Gene Robinson as bishopgay

    bishopover their New Hampshire dio-cese. Today, the church is poised to split over the issue.

    You may have noticed that our maga-zine has taken on a new look! Dan Barkley, who has handled our magazine layout and

    website since 1997, has responded to anew call that God has placed on his life.He has moved to Argentina as a mission-ary! Dan will still handle our website needsfrom South Americaa website, which he

    built from scratch tobecome the most visitedprophecy website in the world, receiving between1 and 2 million hits permonth.

    Understanding the End-time series to its community. Check out his services at www.RespireCreative.com.

    We hope you like the new look as muchas we do!

    Christ KillersGod is done with the ethnic Hebrew. The Jew must be grafted

    in the same way that all men must, through Jesus Christ whomthey murdered. The country of Israel knows that as long as America supports it, they have a chance. Israel and America aretwo synonymous beings....both governed by the Jewish principalsof freemasonry, Jewish government, and both are run by goodol Hebrew wealth and riches.

    Sadly I now see ministers steeped in dispensationalism tryingto speed up Gods hand by breeding red heifers, and allowingpeople like Gershon Salomon and the Temple Mount Faithful tocollect riches untold to build a third temple, which I believe isunscriptural. The third temple is our person. Our hearts are where Christ now resides, not an ark or temple.

    L. Ness III, Deweyville, Texas

    REPLY It is true that the plan of salvation is the same today for Jewish people as it is for Gentiles. However, asserting that God isdone with physical Israel is a direct contradiction of scripture. InRomans 11:25-26 the Apostle Paul taught, For I would not,brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest yeshould be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is

    happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles be comein. Paul clearly teaches that, after the fullness of the Gentiles iscome in, the blindness of the nation of Israel will be ended. Hegoes on to say that all Israel will then be saved.

    This is reinforced by Zechariah 12:10, And I will pour uponthe house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, thespirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as onemourneth for his only son This will come to pass when Jesusreturns to earth at the Mount of Olives to fight the battle of Armageddon.

    I do agree that we should not contribute to the offering of ani-mal sacrifices and that God no longer dwells in temples made with hands. This does not remove the fact that a Jewish temple will stand on the Temple Mount during the great tribulation(Revelation 11:1-2 & II Thessalonians 2:3-4).

    By the way, you refer to the Jewish people as Christ killers.Scripture teaches that all who reject Jesus as Messiah are guilty of the crucifixion, even to this day. (Acts 5:28, behold, yehave filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring thisman's blood upon us.)

    Many people who believe what you are sharing in this letterembrace a doctrine called Preterism. We recently completed anew video series, Refuting Preterism. Some of the points wemake in this two-hour series may be a blessing to you. I encour-

    age you to carefully consider why we believe Preterism is unscrip-tural. We might also be able to arrange a Bible study for you with

    someone in your area who has these materials. Thank you somuch for taking the time to write.

    Post-Mark Repentance? As I was studying your Understanding the Endtime Level 3

    series, The Sequence of Endtime Events, a question poppedinto my mind. We have always taught that once you take theMark of the Beast there is no repentance. But Revelation statesseveral times that they still don't repent even in the face of the Wrath of God. To me, this would seem to indicate that they dohave the opportunity to repent, but they don't. Is it possible that a few may repent even though they have taken the Mark?

    R. Pohjola

    REPLY Im not sure that I can answer your question conclu-sively. Revelation 14:9-11 says: If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in hishand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indig-nation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the

    presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever:and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast andhis image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.

    This passage seems to indicate that there is no salvation oncea person receives the mark of the beast.

    The point you have made has to be considered. However, Ithink opening the possibility that a person could take the markand then afterward be saved is very dangerous. It could causepeople to weaken under the pressure of the great tribulation,thinking that they could later repent of taking the mark.

    It appears to me that taking the mark is without remedy.

    Oil & WineI was listening to a non-prophecy sermon on the radio this

    morning centering around Jesus' parable of the Good Samari-tan. I heard something that I never noticed before. Luke 10:34reads, And [the Samaritan] went to him [the half-dead man],and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set himon his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took careof him.

    My mind went to the 3rd Seal in Revelation 6, the Black Horserider, who held in his hand a pair of balances. Verse 6 says, AndI 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; andsee thou hurt not the oil and the wine.

    How might the reference to oil and wine inthe Good Samaritan parable relate to thispassage from Revelation?

    T. Duncan, Endtime Partner

    REPLY Even though the same phrase isused in both passages, it is used in a totally dif-

    ferent way. Wine was used to cleanse the wound of the man that had been beaten, andoil was then applied to soothe the woundafter it had been cleansed.

    In the Third Seal prophecy, the black horsesymbolizes capitalism. The oil and wine arereferred to as principal items of commerce.The warning to not hurt the oil and the wineis a warning to not hurt the economy.

    In my opinion, these two references to oiland wine are not related.

    Wanting Revelationon RevelationIt sure would be helpful to have a study on

    the book of Revelation by a man with the rev-elation! I subscribe to ENDTIME Magazine andalways look forward to each issue. Do youthink that you will ever take your radio seg-ments and make a verse by verse study?I sure hope you do!

    Mark

    REPLY Actually Mark, we have been doing just that on Monday of every week for the last year. This complete course is available onaudio or in a study manual. It is called Reve-lation Commentary.

    I would recommend another study for youfirst, if you have never gone through it.Understanding the EndtimeLevel 1 willclearly explain the major prophecies of Reve-lation. After experiencing Understandingthe Endtime, you will be much better pre-pared for Revelation Commentary.

    Timing MattersIn your opinion based on the facts, how close might we be to the end of things? I ambeing forced into making a career decisionand your assessment could help me decide what to do. Don't worry, I wont blame you if youre wrong. Im just looking for your opin-ion. I enjoy ENDTIME Magazine, and I know that Endtime is Spirit-led.

    E. Gaskins

    REPLY I cannot tell you exactly where weare on Gods prophetic time clock. I know forcertain that we have entered the endtime.

    Now for my opinion... It looks like to me

    that we are very close to the beginning of thefinal seven years. I believe this because thepeace proposals recently presented for theMiddle East by the International Community match what the Bible prophesies for the finalseven-year period. For a complete explana-tion, get Roadmap for Peace & The Final

    Seven Years from our ministry (1-800-END-TIME).Caution... Even though I dont think it will

    be, its not impossible that it could be anoth-er five or ten years before the final seven-yearperiod begins. On the other hand, it is a pos-sibility that it already began on April 30th of this year. I simply am not sure at this point.

    ClosetI am incarcerated, locked up seven days a week in a room about the size of a closet. All Ihave is my Bible and my radio. I wake up daily

    waiting to catch your broadcast. It gives mehope and strength to move on to the next day.

    ITS A BIG LIE. At stake could be which side the UnitedStates will be aligned with in the end-timeIsrael or the Antichrist.

    In late August, Judge Roy Moore wassuspended from his duties as AlabamaSupreme Court Chief Justice. His crime:Defying a federal court order to remove aTen Commandments monument fromthe rotunda of the Alabama Supreme

    Court building. The issue dominatednational headlines for days; the man was vilified and held up for ridicule. After all,he was violating the Constitutionsrequirement for separation of churchand state.

    Is this case bigger than the Scopes Mon-key Trial of 1925? Its bigger, Mooresaid. Were fighting for the heart andsoul of this nation. The Scopes Monkey Trial was [about] evolution in school.This is about whether or not we can even

    acknowledge God. I think this is muchmore pivotal. Whether or not we canacknowledge God is a foundation of ourentire government.

    What Moore is actually doing is fightingthe myth of separation of church and

    state. There is nothing in the Constitu-tion mandating this. You wouldnt havethought that, however, had you tappedinto any news sources in late August.Thats how big the lie is, and it has result-

    ed in the First Amendment being used asa weapon to ban the Bible from publiclife. What we are witnessing today underthe guise of upholding the Constitutionis, in fact, leading to its undermining.

    Lets take a look at the real story.

    Original Intent ofFirst Amendment

    A judges job is to interpret the law, not to make the law. So, what does the First

    Amendment say and what was theauthors intent?The First amendment was written by

    Fisher Ames and states that Congress shallmake no law concerning the establishment of a religion nor the free exercise thereof.The courts are supposed to interpret theintention of the founding fathers. Not only are they supposed to go by the words of the Constitution, but by the intent of those words as well. Was Fisher Ames intentionto eliminate every vestige of God, the

    Bible, Christianity, religion, to remove it from public life, from government,schools, county courthouses front lawns,and Justices chambers? The courts areinterpreting his amendment that way. Arethey right or wrong?

    David Barton, author of the book O rig-

    inal Intent , and producer of the video Americas Godly Heritage says, Well,consider a quote from the same Fisher Ames. He stated in 1801, The Bible is thesource of sound morality and behavior in America and we must never let it be sepa-rated from the classroom.

    It would appear to be contradictingtodays interpretation. Is somethinggoing on behind the scenes? Unfortu-nately, too many people are content tobelieve what they hear on the eveningnews without ever searching out theanswers for themselves.

    The Quotes, The FactsThe original intent of the First Amend-

    ment was that there was not to be, by gov-ernment decree, one Christian denomi-nation running the nation as had beenthe case in England. Consider the word-ing that had been proposed by JamesMadison: Congress shall make no law toestablish a national religion.

    In fact, the last iteration before thefinal wording read, Congress shall makeno law establishing any particular denom-ination in preference to others.

    These, as well as other documentediterations, illustrate that the words reli-gion and denomination were inter-changeable. With that in mind, here is apossible reading: Congress shall makeno law respecting an establishment of denomination or prohibiting the freeexercise thereof.

    The original intent is now becomingclearer. Support of religion by the state is

    not prohibited by the First Amendment.Prohibiting the establishment of onedenomination or religion in preferenceto any other is the intent of the First Amendment.

    But keep in mind this very important fact: The First Amendment is the ration-ale being used to ban the Bible, God andreligion from all public life. Leading that charge is the American Civil LibertiesUnion (ACLU) who in effect says, God, we dont like your rules, and were not

    going to follow them. We want them out of sight and out of mind. Chief JusticeMoore believes this is the culmination of

    what they have been working towardsince the injection of evolution into thepublic school system and the removal of creationism.

    America is at the crossroads. Can aUnited States who has divorced herself

    from God stand up to an endtime world

    government or will she instead be trum-peting the beasts call? Will history judgeRoy Moores case as the ultimate turningpoint?

    Confusion in the CourtThere is so much confusion in the

    courts about the First Amendment,Moore told ENDTIME . One court allowsthe Ten Commandments to stay andanother says it cant. There are so many

    variations in the rulings that what we find

    is there is no rule of law. Theres no set interpretation in this case. Were having arule of men, which means the individualopinions of men.

    Religion was defined by the foundingfathers as the duties that we owe to theCreator and the manner of discharging

    it, he added. It specifically recognized ahigher authority and a higher law. They

    dont want that definition today. The Fed-

    eral District Court that ruled on this casedoesnt want that definition. Instead, it said the court did not have the expertiseto define religion and indeed it was dan-gerous and unwise to define the word.

    Moore asserts that if a word in a statutecant be defined, then the statute cant beinterpreted. You cant rule by law. Theonly thing you can rule by is how you feelabout something, and thats not law.

    It is obvious to the casual observer that Ames words have been twisted to mean

    the opposite. The salient question thenbecomes, are the people making thesedecisions aware of the facts? Do they know where Fisher Ames stood on theseissues? Perhaps, but many want to re-shape America into their own image andthey are winning because the atheisticelement in our society knows where thepower is, and they have plotted andplanned to get control of the judgeshipsof this nation.

    Is Separation of Churchand State in the Constitution?

    Celebrating the Moore suspension,Barry Lind, Executive Director for Amer-icans United for Separation of Churchand State remarked, This is a tremen-dous victory for the rule of law andrespect for religious diversity. Finally, the

    law has been upheld.Law? There is no law that mentions aseparation of church and state.

    Sometimes history can hurt. We havealready seen that the original intent of the First Amendment was to prevent, by government decree, one Christiandenomination running the nation as it was in England. So, where did the phraseseparation of church and state origi-nate?

    In 1801, the Danbury Connecticut Baptist Association heard a rumor that the Congregationalist denomination wasgoing to be made the national denomi-nation, explains David Barton. They sent a letter of protest to President Thomas Jefferson. He responded on Jan-uary 1st of 1802. In his letter, Jeffersonexplained that the First Amendment pro-hibited the government from doing what the Danbury Baptist Association feared.The words he used in his letter toexpound on this were the First Amend-ment has erected a wall of separation

    between church and state. This is wherethe phrase comes from.Once again, the issue was not religion,

    but denomination. Jefferson was pointingout that the reason the First Amendment was put in the Constitution was to keepfrom happening in America what hap-pened in England. It was to ensure that the U.S. Congress would not establish anofficial religion. Now, opponents of theTen Commandments claim that thisanalysis is out of context and that if a per-

    son were to read the entirety of Jeffer-sons letter, this fact would become evi-dent. In actuality, they are betting on thefact that people wont ever read the letter.

    How Did All This Evolve? ACLU sympathizers claim that the

    phrase, separation of church and statebrings forth the obvious conclusion,therefore no religious theory can betaught in schools. Nothing could be fur-ther from the truth.

    In 1791, Benjamin Rush, a signer of theDeclaration of Independence, wrote inan education policy paper citing over adozen reasons why the Bible must neverbe taken out of the schools in America.

    Warning of the consequences of remov-ing the Bible from classrooms, he wrote,

    In contemplating the political institu-tions of the United States, I lament, that we waste so much time and money inpunishing crimes and take so little painsto prevent them.

    Founding father Noah Webster wrotethe following in one of his textbooks: Allthe miseries and evils which men sufferfrom vice, crime ambition, injustice,oppression, slavery and war, proceedfrom their despising or neglecting theprecepts contained in the Bible.

    Neither the First Amendment nor theseparation of church and state ever hadanything to do with taking religion out of schools or government. To the contrary,the founding fathers went out of their way to point out that the country woulddie if religion was taken out of theschools.

    Separation of church and state wasnever their intention. It is rather theintent of the ACLU and others who haveplaced themselves above the founders of this country and, more importantly,above God Himself. What is the primary difference between the founders of ourcountry and the people who want the TenCommandments removed from all gov-ernment property? Lets cut to the chase.Its that the founding fathers believed inGod and the Bible. These principles hold

    people to certain moral behaviors. Onthe other hand, if you dont believe inGod or the Bible, and you dont believethere are any consequences for wrongactions, then you would probably beunencumbered by such laws as the TenCommandments. This is the point at which a person places himself above God.

    What Does This All Mean?Barton points out that in 1892, the

    Supreme Court noted that each of the 44states had some type of God-centered dec-laration in its constitution. Is it any won-der that each session of Congress begins with prayer? And this is followed by thePledge of Allegiance, which includes thephrase, ...one nation, under God...

    According to Dr. Mel C. Glenn, Sr.,director of the Foundation for Moral Law (www.morallaw.org), an organization that supports Moores position, the Federal judge who issued the ruling against Moore, Myron Thompson, stated at theend of the trial that he would begin to

    write his opinion as to whether or not thestate of Alabama can acknowledge God.That was the central issue upon whichthis was judgedif the state couldacknowledge God.

    The ACLU and many, many othersknow these facts, but the facts do not serve their ends. There are many people,perhaps like yourself, who have been a victim of this blatant revisionism. But now you know the truth. e

    I II III IV V VI VII VIII IX X

    UNDER GOD was placed in the Pledge of Allegiance in 1954. At thetime, the Congress said it isimportant to note that the dis-tinction must be madebetween of existence of reli-gion as an institution and thebelief in the sovereignty ofGod. They said, This is not anact of establishing a religion or

    one interfering in the freeexercise of religion. A distinc-tion must be made betweenthe existence of religion as aninstitution and the belief in thesovereignty of God.

    o some, its just a news report. Toothers, its a sign of the way things ought to be. But for

    prophecy students, its God. With the announcement that the Euro-

    pean Union is establishing its own mili-tary force, a very important endtimeprophecy fulfillment is solidified. Already the EU is expanding to include 25 coun-tries next year. It will also adopt a Euro-pean Constitution and elect the first European president.

    Is it just news or is it more? The fact is,Daniel 2 prophesies that in the latter daysthere will be a revival of a kingdom that will resemble the Roman Empire in many ways. It will include a religious element as well, and become the power base of the world government and its leader, the Antichrist.

    With the birth of this new superpowerof 450 million people, we are watchingGods divine hand in action. He said it would be so, and it is. The EU has been inactive development since 1957s signingof the Treaty of Rome, and it is coming tofull fruition seemingly overnight beforeour eyes. Its the prophesied revival of theHoly Roman Empire.

    The PoliticsConsider 25 nation-states, a constitu-

    tion, a president with teeth and now a

    military. It is this latter development of anEU military that puts the icing on thecake. The planned independent military wing, headquartered in Belgium, willexist outside of NATO. While this may undermine the basis of NATO, it is rec-ognized that Europe will never be able topull her weight in world affairs as anequal with the United States until she hasher own military muscle and has thecapacity to plan and execute Europeanoperations autonomously.

    NATO is a mutual defense pact between the United States, Canada and

    Europe to protect the West from Russia.The United States has dominated

    world affairs because of unrivaled military and economic power. The EuropeanUnion has been working on the economy

    with great success. By 2004, its populationof 450 million will dwarf the U.S. popula-tion of 280 million. All the modern coun-tries of Europe are now merging. Accord-ing to Bible prophecy, we are watching arevival of the Holy Roman Empire.

    The ProphecyThroughout its 1,000-year history, the

    Holy Roman Empire has always had twoleaderspolitical and religious. Theprophecy in Daniel 2 teaches that thisHoly Roman Empire will be the last empire on the earth. Lets take a stepback and look at what it says.

    Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, hada dream. Daniel recounted his dream andthen provided the interpretation. Theactual dream is recorded in Daniel 2:31-35, the interpretation in verses 36-45.

    The dream depicted a great image whose head was of gold, breast and armsof silver, belly and thighs of brass, legs of iron, and feet of iron mingled with clay.Then a stone, which was cut out without hands, smote the image upon the feet. It broke the iron, the brass, the clay, the sil-

    ver and the gold into pieces. As Neb-

    uchadnezzar watched, the stone that smote the image grew until it became agreat mountain and filled the wholeearth.

    Through Daniel, God told Nebuchad-nezzar that each section of the imagestood for a world dominating empire that

    would be succeeded by another, and that the head of gold represented him and hiskingdom, Babylon. The Media-PersianEmpire, followed (breast and arms of sil-

    ver). Then came Greece (belly and thighsof brass); and then the Roman Empire(legs of iron). Rome ruled the world dur-

    ing the days of Jesus Christ, and contin-ued until about 300 AD. There would not be another empire for the next 500 years.

    The Last EmpireThe prophecy states that one more

    empire would rise which would rule overall the earth. Until this last empire, eachsection of the image in the kings dreamhad a completely different metal fromthe previous section. From the head of gold, to the arms and breasts of silver, tothe belly and thighs of brass, and to thelegs of iron, each is a total change of met-als. The feet, however, consist of two ele-

    ments iron and clay. The mixture indi-cates that the element of iron (theRoman Empire) from the legs would sur-

    vive; however, another element (the clay) would be mixed in.

    After the Roman Empire came anotherempire, which was related, but different.This latest empire was called the Holy Roman Empire, founded 500 years laterin 800 AD. It was a partnership betweenCharlemagne and Pope Leo III, a politi-cal leader and a spiritual leader. The last

    world government, which is now emerg-ing, will also be ruled by two men. The

    political leader will be the Antichrist, andthe spiritual leader will be the FalseProphet (Revelation 19:19-20).

    Note that the iron element of the for-mer Roman Empire remained, but that the new clay element, the RomanCatholic Church, had been added.

    Remember that the image in the kingsdream had feet of iron mixed with clay. It is easy to see that the clay represents theRoman Catholic Church. The Holy Roman Empire has always been a unionof church and state.

    Often the pope was so powerful that heappointed the rulers of Europe. Upon

    their coronation, many European kings

    would make the obligatory trip to Romeon order to bow at the feet of the pope,kiss his foot, and receive his blessing. Thisrefers to the scripture in Daniel 2:43 that says, And whereas thou sawest ironmixed with miry clay, they shall minglethemselves with the seed of men. Thisrefers to religion involving itself in poli-tics, which is what happened under theguise of the Holy Roman Empire. If his-tory holds true, the pope will probably have a very strong say in who will lead thisfinal Holy Roman Empire.

    The most important element of Neb-uchadnezzars dream is the stone. The

    stone, which was cut out of the mountain,rolled down and smote the image uponthe feet. The stone represents the king-dom of God (v. 44). The feet of the imagerepresent the Holy Roman Empire! Thisillustrates to us that the Holy RomanEmpire will be in existence when Jesus

    returns to establish His kingdom.The Ten-Horned Kingdom

    The last part of the statue representing world image is the ten toes. The ten hornssymbolize ten kings that will come togeth-er in the last days and become the powerbase of the Antichrist. The ten toes will be

    a revival or a continuation of the Holy Roman Empire.

    Daniel 2:44-45 says, And inthe days of these kings shall theGod of heaven set up a king-

    dom, which shall never bedestroyed:

    Another prophecy concern-ing this time is found in Revela-tion 17. Here, the Holy RomanEmpire is depicted as a womanriding a beast. This beast hasten horns that symbolize tenkings that will rule at the end of the time of human govern-ment, and will fight against

    Jesus Christ. These ten kings will make war against the Lamb, Jesus Christ.

    In Revelation 13, there is aseven-headed, ten-hornedbeast, which depicts the one-

    world government of the Antichrist. The beast is the

    same as the one in Revelation 17 only that same seven-headed, ten-horned beast hasa woman riding its back. The woman iscalled the Great Whore, or the Great Har-lot. It can be proven conclusively that the

    woman is the Vatican, the Roman

    Catholic Church. This fits perfectly withthe union between politics and religionthat was prophesied by the iron mingled

    with clay. That prophecy was fulfilled by the founding of the Holy Roman Empirein 800 AD.

    Religion and the EU An article recently appeared in the

    European Union Observer entitled TurkishPrime Minister Wants EU Constitution to

    Avoid Religious Reference. Pope JohnPaul II has repeatedly called for the inclu-sion of a statement in the EUs constitu-tion that recognizes the historic relation-

    ship between Europe and the RomanCatholic Church. He knows that the Holy Roman Empire cannot be a totally secularempire.

    However, Turkey does not embraceChristianity in any form because it is near-ly 98% Muslim. Turkey desperately wants

    to be included in the European Unionbecause thats where the future is, but sheis bitterly opposed to any religious stipu-lation. But throughout history, the cur-rent member nations have been tightly bound to the Vatican either through theRoman Catholic Church or throughProtestantism, which originated from theRoman Catholic Church.

    Twenty-Five Kings to Ten?If the European Union is to fulfill the

    ten-king aspect of the prophecy, there will

    be some hurdles to overcome. How will 25member states produce ten kings? Today,

    we cannot answer this question. Perhaps it will come in the form of a ten personinner circle or council. Such is beingopenly discussed. Time will certainly tell.

    Betrayal and VictoryThe Bible clearly prophesies a dual

    leadership. The Holy Roman Empire hasalways been a union of the strongest politician on the scene, possibly a futureEU president, and the strongest religiousleader who, historically has been thepope. Yet, the Bible says that the tenhorns will hate the woman. It shall eat herflesh and burn her with fire. Revelation17:16 says, and the ten horns which thousawest upon the beast, these shall hate the

    whore, and shall make her desolate andnaked, and shall eat her flesh, and burnher with fire.

    The stone, Jesus Christ, mentioned inDaniel 2:45, will then destroy world gov-ernment and establish His kingdom on

    the earth. This gives us absolute proof that Jesus Christ will come back duringthe time of the soon-to-come revived Holy Roman Empire. e

    When the former leader ofPoland, Lech Walesa, spoke atHarvard University on September 24,he left no one wondering where he stoodon the issue of one-world government. The fol-lowing article, reprinted with permission fromThe Harvard Crimson (9/25/03, by Kate A.Tiskus), bore the title, Walesa Defines NewEra: Polish leader advocates global parliament.

    Recall, Walesa was the founder and leader of Polands Solidarity labor movement, born in

    1980, which sparked the Velvet Revolutionresulting in the collapse of the Berlin Wall. Itwas revealed 12 years later, in 1992, that Sol-idarity was conceived by Pope John Paul II, aPole himself, and funded by the United States.

    THE WORLD CAN EITHER CHOOSEto accept American leadership or cedethe power to a restructured global gov-ernment, former president of Poland

    Lech Walesa told an overflowing crowd at

    the newly rededicated John F. Kennedy

    Forum yesterday evening (Sept. 24). Walesa, who holds an honorary Har- vard degree, led the Solidarity labormovement within Poland and helped top-ple the Cold-war era Communist regimein his country.

    Speaking through a translator, Walesainstructed the student crowd to seize what he called a historic moment. This gener-ation opened a new century, but it alsoopened a new era, he said. This eraneeds a new system and new politicalarrangements.

    Those arrangements would include aglobal parliament, which Walesadescribed as a stronger replacement forthe United Nations (UN) that wouldfocus on sending world forces to combat aggression along national borders, terror-ism and the resurgence of anti-Semitic orracist ideologies.

    Lets replace the (UN) Security Coun-cil with a global parliament, and placeNATO as the defense authority of theentire world, he said.

    If the United States does retain its lead-

    ership role, said Walesa, it needs to be

    ready to combat the fallout of the col-lapse of the remaining Communist sys-tems, such as Cuba.

    Walesa emphasized that the burden of change was on the new generation.

    I look at you as a generation that hasan opportunity at your disposal unlikeany other, he said. In five years, not more than 10 years, the world will decideabout its future direction. I am asking

    you, despite your young age, to take it into your hands because if you do not,someone else will take into their handsand results could be disastrous. e

    Labor Party Signs Deal inJordan with Palestinians

    On October 11, 2003, an agreement was reached between liberal elements inIsrael and the Palestinians for a finalpeace treaty. This agreement, which hasbeen under negotiation for about one year, was finalized in Jordan by YossiBeilin, Shimon Peres right-hand manduring the Oslo Accords in 1993. Thenew agreement is modeled after the offer

    made between Barak and Arafat, which Arafat refused.

    The Geneva Agreement, the text of which has yet to be released, wasdescribed by Haaretz as a draft memo-randum for a permanent Israeli-Palestin-ian Peace agreement, formulated by members of the Israeli opposition andPalestinian officials, [that] includes thePalestinians relinquishing their claim to aright of return to areas inside the state of Israel. Under the terms of the agreement,the Palestinians would, in return, be

    granted sovereignty over the TempleMount. The area would be monitored by international bodies. The Jewish quarterof the old city of Jerusalem, as well as the

    Western Wall would remain under Israel. Another report said that although all peo-ple would have a right to the TempleMount, Jews would not be allowed to pray there.

    The National Religious Party, com-prised of Israels chief rabbis, is no longerin power. The secular Labor Party willnow be deciding Israels fate, but even theliberals in Israel understand that right of return means the end of Israel.

    Similarities exist between the Roadmapfor Peace and the Geneva Agreement.Both recognize the Saudi Arabia initiative

    which says that Israel must return to pre-1967 borders. The difference between

    the Roadmap and Geneva is that theRoadmap calls for phased changes, thefirst of which is the already failed man-date to eliminate all terrorist activity. By comparison, the Geneva Agreement isproposing a quantum leap, demandingthat all changes be agreed upon at theonset.

    The Palestinians and Arafat are endors-ing the agreement. Under its terms, thePalestinians can claim to have recovered100 percent of what they lost, in additionto having sovereignty over what they call

    the Haram al Sharifthe Temple Mount.Even though the Labor Party has nego-

    tiated this agreement over the last yearthey have no power to implement it. Thepresent Israeli government would have toeither fall or buy into the Labor plan inorder for it to be implemented. Sharoncould agree to it with one or two slight nuances including sharing the area andallowing Jews to pray there.

    What do we know prophetically? Scrip-ture tells us that a third Temple must bebuilt. We know that there will not be apermanent agreement because, Matthew 24:15-21, three and a half years after theconfirmation of the covenant, the Great Tribulation will begin in the area of theterritories.

    The Arafat ChroniclesRoadmap Declared Dead. The UnitedStates and Israel have attempted to assign

    Yasser Arafat to irrelevancy. However,Palestinians retain their allegiance to

    Arafat especially in the wake of Mahmoud Abbas Sept. 6 resignation. Because of Israels recent targeted assassinations of Hamas terrorist leaders, Arafat has con-tended that the Roadmap for Peace isdestroyed. The U.S. and the World Com-munity have invested tremendous politi-cal capital in the Roadmap. It is doubtfulthat they will allow Arafat to assign it tothe dustbin of history.

    Exile Rile. In response to the latest wave of suicide bombing attacks in Israel,the Israeli cabinet announced its decisionto deport Arafat from Israel. Israel statedthat she would remove Arafat in her own

    way and at a time of her choosing. OnSeptember 15, the United States vetoed aPalestinian-sponsored UN Security Coun-cil resolution specifically demanding that Israel not deport or threaten the safety of elected Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat.

    News sources continually play upon thefact that Arafat is the elected president of the Palestinian authority. It is nevermentioned that Arafat ran unopposed inthat election.

    Honoring Terrorists. Arafat and otherPalestinian leaders sponsored a fall soccermatch whose teams are named after sui-cide bombers. One in particular wasnamed after the suicide bomber that killed 30 Israeli men, women and chil-dren in a bus bombing. This move by

    Arafat at a time when he is being intense-

    ly pressured to renounce the fight against

    To most casual observers,this choice probably came as a surprise.To those in Israel, the reasons for choos-ing Wolfowitz were compelling.

    It is Wolfowitz, not Bush, Powell orRumsfeld, who is seen by Israel as theman who instigated the removal of theirmost dangerous enemy, Saddam Hussein. Wolfowitz is the reason the United Statesinvaded Iraq, a move that has foreveraltered the texture of the Middle East.The Jewish state feels so much safer sinceSaddam Hussein is gone and Uncle Samnow occupies his land.

    Those who study Bible prophecy, how-ever, may see Paul Wolfowitz in a different light.

    The man and the visionBefore ascending to the post of Deputy

    Secretary of Defense, Wolfowitz had heldmany critical posts over the previous 25 years.

    As a young Pentagon analyst in 1979, Wolfowitz repeatedly warned thenDefense Secretary Harold Brown of Iraqs

    potential plans to invade Kuwait. Brownignored all of his warnings.In 1992, nine years before 9/11, Paul

    Wolfowitz wrote a document entitledDefense Planning Guidance. In the pol-icy paper, he encouraged the U.S. toadopt a preemptive strike philosophy, andsaid that Iraq and North Korea shouldbecome targets of the preemptive doc-trine. The document was considered tooradical, because it touted the doctrine of unilateral military action and preemptivestrikes.

    Because Wolfowitzs ideas were consid-

    ered too extreme, Dick Cheney, thenDefense Secretary, was asked to rewriteDefense Planning Guidance, making it more acceptable to the world. It wasrepublished in 1993 under the titleDefense Strategy for the 1990s. Due toBushs defeat in the 1992 election, thestrategy was never implemented.

    In 1997, Wolfowitz authored anotherpaper entitled Rebuilding AmericasDefenses. In it, he recycled the conceptsthat he had originally advocated in 1992,only this time the words were not softened.

    He wrote, Indeed the United States hasfor decades sought to play a more perma-nent role in Gulf regional security. Whilethe unresolved conflict with Iraq providesthe immediate justification, the need for asubstantial American force presence in theGulf transcends the issue of the regime of Saddam Hussein.

    In 1998, Wolfowitz penned an open let-ter to President Clinton urging the over-throw of Saddam Hussein. The letter wassigned by Wolfowitz, current Secretary of

    Defense Donald Rumsfeld, and others.President Clinton never acted on theadvice in the letter.

    When George W. Bush was elected in2000, the group that advocated Wol-fowitzs policies was ushered into power.Dick Cheney became vice-president, Don-ald Rumsfeld became Defense Secretary,and Paul Wolfowitz, the man with the

    vision, became his deputythe numbertwo man at the Pentagon,.

    Just four days after the 9/11 attacks onthe World Trade Center and Pentagon,President Bush declared war on terror-ism. On that same day, Wolfowitz statedthat regimes, which support terrorismshould be ended. Two days later, Wol-fowitz was at Camp David with other Bushadministration insiders pushing for theinvasion of Iraq. Skip Kabul(Afghanistan), he said. Focus Americasmilitary on Baghdad instead.

    World Order in Americas Image

    Combining hawkish leanings on

    defense and optimism towards Mideast democracy, Wolfowitz has always believedthat America must put its stamp on the

    world. He contends that either America will change the world into its own imageor the world will change America into itsimage.

    It is now an accomplished fact that American troops are stationed in Iraq andare on the borders of Iran, Syria, Saudi

    Arabia, Jordan and Turkey. The man who,for years, saw the need for a sizeable U.S.military force in the Gulf, now has it.

    Wolfowitz has predicted correctly what

    ENDTIME MAGAZINE NOV / DEC 20019

    O F T H E Y E A R

    L F O W I T ZBY IRVIN BAXTER

    Israel has long waited for an administration that under-stands that the principal problem inthe Middle East is not the unsettledstatus of our borders. It is the unset-tling nature of Arab regimesand ofthe bellicosity, fanaticism, andresentments to which they give rise.

    The Jerusalem Post

  • 8/13/2019 Endtime Nov Dec 2003

    lies ahead often enough to cause Presi-dent Bush to believe in him. Many peo-ple, including those at the Jerusalem Post ,believe that if it were not for this oneman, U.S. troops would not be sitting inIraq today. Furthermore, if thingsimprove in Iraq and democracy sets in, it

    will add even that much more to Wol-fowitzs already high stature. It is rumoredthat he is poised to become the next Sec-

    retary of State should Colin Powell vacatethat post.Many of President Bushs statements

    can be directly attributed to Wolfowitz,such as: America will not permit the

    worlds most dangerous regimes to threat-en us with the worlds most destructive

    weapons, and calling for a new Arabcharter that champions internal reform,greater political participation, economicopenness and free trade.

    The plan that was begun in 1992 by Wolfowitz has become the policy of theBush administration.

    Sixth Trumpet Wolfowitz stresses that, if the U.S. is to

    put its stamp on this world and create an Americanized New World Order of free-dom and democracy, it must control theMiddle East. Until then, America will con-

    tinue to be subject to blackmail by the oilcartel.He also understands that the U.S. must

    control Southeast Asia. Americas num-ber one threat to supremacy in the 21st century is China, a nation whose GrossNational Product is projected to surpassthe United States sometime between2015 and 2020. Its also a nation that isundergoing a dramatic military buildup.The U.S. is determined to prevent Chinafrom becoming a viable rival for worldleadership.

    Many people are very pleased that Wol-fowitz has become such a tremendously influential force in the world. Others, onthe other hand, react to his power withfear.

    Those who are familiar with Bibleprophecy, however, see that Wolfowitzsideas, particularly those advocatingregime change in North Korea, couldlead to the massive war prophesied in Rev-elation 9:13-16 that will kill one-third of mankind.

    The man who said in 1992 that Iraqand North Korea would have to be dealt

    with someday, appears to be in the dri- vers seat. As of today, one is down, andthe other is working on an illegal nuclearprogram.

    According to the Jerusalem Post , Israelhas long waited for an administration that understands that the principal problemin the Middle East is not the unsettled sta-tus of our borders. It is the unsettlingnature of Arab regimesand of the belli-cosity, fanaticism, and resentments to

    which they give rise.In summary the article said, Israel hasalso long waited for an administrationthat understands that the regimes that threaten Tel Aviv also threaten New York.

    The Jerusalem Post understands very wellthat the Bush administrations actions inthe Middle East are due to Paul Wol-fowitzs influence. Its why they made himtheir Man of the Year.

    But dont forgetPresident Bush saidthe War on Terrorism would possibly last for ten years. If that proves to be true,there are eight years yet to go. e

    terrorism could greatly weaken his sup-port from the World Community.

    Heart AttackIn late September, Arafat fell ill. Israels

    recent decision to remove him from the

    land raised suspicions that he had beenpoisoned. However, his doctor ruled that out, reporting that he was suffering fromintestinal flu. Specialists brought in from Jordan concluded that he was sufferingfrom exhaustion. However, a close aide to Arafat has stated that he suffered a mildheart attack. Although the heart attackhas been widely reported, the Palestinianoffice continues to issue denials in aneffort to avoid panic among the Palestin-ian people.

    Solano Visits, Abbas Resigns Javier Solano, the EUs representative

    to the Quartet, paid a visit to Israel andthe Palestinians. His stated purpose for visiting was to put the Roadmap back ontrack after the break down of the cease-fire. Palestinian Prime Minister Mah-moud Abbas resigned shortly afterSolanos visit.

    Did Solano conclude that Abbas wassimply not the man for the job? The new prime minister, Ahmed Qureia, statedthat he may consult with the Quartet while putting together his new govern-ment. Is Qureia Solanos man?

    Fencing the Promised LandThe Israeli cabinet voted to continue

    construction on the security fence that isdesigned to keep terrorists out of Israelsborders. The U.S. expressed its displeas-ure with the decision to extend the fenceto include the city of Ariel (pop. about 17,000). In a move to appease the U.S.,Israel announced that it would not build

    that portion of the fence at this time. Sol-diers will guard the gap in the structure.Settlers living in Judea-Samaria (West

    Bank) are concerned that the fencedestroys their vision of a greater Israel.They believe that Israel should occupy allof the Promised Land as defined in scrip-ture. Much of it will remain outside thesecurity fence. Many believe a permanent border between Israel and a new Palestin-ian state will be defined by the fence. Two-thirds of the Jewish settlers, about 150,000people, will be left on the Palestinian sideof the fence, or as settler spokesperson,

    Eve Harow put it, In the cage with theanimals.Israel Bombs TerroristCamp in Syria

    For the first time in 20 years, Israellaunched a bombing raid inside of Syrianterritory, claiming that the target was anIslamic Jihad training camp located about 30 miles from Damascus. Syria called anemergency meeting of the UN Security Council to condemn this invasion of hersovereignty. Israel says that she will goafter terrorism wherever it finds sanctu-ary. The U.S. has sided with Israel, sayingthat she had a right to attack the trainingbase of suicide bombers.

    Russia Wants UN To MakeRoadmap Binding

    Russian Deputy Foreign Minister, Yuri

    Fedotov, stated that if Israel deports Yass-er Arafat, the action could lead to a seri-ous global crisis in the Middle East. Hesuggested that the UN Security Councilshould adopt a resolution making theU.S.-backed Roadmap an official UNSecurity Council resolution, that wouldbe binding upon all parties. Fedotov wasquoted as saying that making theRoadmaps provisions mandatory, asopposed to being merely recommenda-tions, would help get back on to the pathtoward the understanding that was

    obtained before.Such a UN resolution, now passed by

    the Security Council, can be enforced by military action on the part of the WorldCommunity. The Bible tells of an invasionof Israel at the time of Armageddon, which makes us wonder if this suggestionby Russia is a pre-cursor to that prophe-sied action. Its all the more interestingthat Russia is the one proposing the reso-lution since Ezekiel 38 states that thechief prince of Meshech will lead the inva-sion of Israel at Armageddon by way of Syria. Websters Third International Dic-tionary defines Meshech as the root wordfor Moscow.

    UN Discusses Israels NukesThe International Atomic Energy

    Agency (IAEA) discussed Israels nuclear

    capabilities at a mid-September confer-ence in Vienna at the request of the ArabLeague. According to Haaretz news serv-ice, Israel is developing nuclear warheadsfor its submarines.

    The World Communitys concern overIsraels nuclear capability is interesting inlight of Bible prophecy. Zechariah 14:12indicates that nuclear weapons will beused during the Battle of Armageddon.This almost certainly will be fulfilled by Israels nuclear arsenal, which they callthe Sampson Option. e

    ISRAEL ISBUILDING ASECURITY WALL.It is designed to keep her Arab enemiesfrom entering Jerusalem to terrorize hercitizens. The Jewish nation has finally said, Enough is enough.

    Israels Arab neighbors bitterly opposethe building of the security wall. They areusing every means in their power to stopits constructionincluding appealing tothe organs of global governance. They

    know that once the wall is completed,

    Israel will begin to enjoy peace and secu-rity. The Arab goal is to drive Israel per-manently into the sea.

    It sounds a lot like what is happening inthe Middle East today, doesnt it? But itsnot. This is a different story. This story happened 2,600 years ago during the daysof Nehemiah.

    A Very Interesting ParallelNebuchadnezzar had conquered the

    land of Israel; Consequently, Nehemiahand his fellow Jews were carried away into

    Babylonian captivity.

    After a time, the Medes andthe Persians overthrew theempire of Babylon, replacing it with the Media-Persian Empire.Nehemiah became one of themost trusted men in the court of the Persian King Artaxerxes. He was the kings cupbearer. His job was to taste the kings wine toensure that it hadnt been poi-soned. He was obviously in aposition of ultimate trust.

    In the second chapter of thebook of Nehemiah, we read of the day when Nehemiah went before the king with a sad coun-tenance. He had never beforebeen down in the presence of the king. Artaxerxes inquiredconcerning why Nehemiah was

    so sad. His reply is recorded in verse 3: why should not my countenance be sad, when thecity, [Jerusalem] the place of my fathers' sepulchres, lieth waste,and the gates thereof are con-sumed with fire?

    King Artaxerxes lovedNehemiah very much for havingserved him faithfully for so long.He asked what he could do for

    him. Nehemiah replied that he wanted togo back and rebuild the walls of

    Jerusalem. The king gave Nehemiah let-ters that would grant authorization forthe rebuilding and provide the materialsneeded for the project. The king evensent captains of the army and horsemen

    with Nehemiah to accomplish the task. After reaching Jerusalem and viewing

    the devastation, Nehemiah told his com-panions, come, and let us build up the

    wall of Jerusalem, that we be no more areproach.

    As the construction progressed, Sanbal-

    lat and Tobiah became very angry that thepeople of Israel were fortifying them-selves. Sanballat was a Moabite and Tobi-ah was an Ammonite. Moabites are fromthe area of the Moab Mountains in Jor-dan. Ammonites are from Amman, Jor-dan. These were both Arabs who did not

    want Jerusalems walls rebuilt. They false-ly accused Nehemiah and his companionsof rebelling against the king

    For fifty-two days, the Jews worked day and night to rebuild the wall. When San-ballat saw that he could not stop the

    construction, he sent the army of Samaria

    to launch an attack against Nehemiahand his men. In spite of all this, the wall was built.

    That Was Then. What Today?Now... fast forward 2,600 years.Israel is building a security fencea

    250-mile security fence. Well, they call it afence, but really its a wall. The wall, nine-ty miles of which is now completed, stands25 feet high in many places. The purposeof the wall is to keep Arab terrorists fromentering Israel. Palestinians know that,once the wall is completed, they will losetheir number one weapon against Israelterrorism. They know that Israel will enjoy a level of security it has not experienced since becoming a nation in1948. Consequently, they are fighting the walls construction every way they can.

    In October 2003, a Palestinian suicidebomber murdered 22 people in a restau-rant in Haifa. No resolution was present-ed to the UN condemning this horribleattack. Yet when Israel, because of thedeadly attack, accelerated its plans tobuild its security fence, the Palestinianspresented a resolution to the UN Security Council aimed at shutting down the con-struction. Amazingly, the resolution would have passed had it not been vetoedby the United States.

    Now, the same as 2600 years ago, theenemies of Israel are desperate to stop thebuilding of Israels security wall. Thestruggle to fortify Jerusalem in Nehemi-ahs day ushered in the Second Templeera. The conflict we are witnessing today over Israels security fence is ushering inthe Third Temple era.

    Third Temple RevivalThe First Temple was built by Solomon

    in 968 B.C. In 586 B.C., it was destroyeddue of Israels rebellion and disobedi-

    ence. Seventy years later, in Nehemiahsday, the Second Temple era was born.Those alive and active during this era were the likes of Daniel, Ezra, Zerubba-bel, Habakkuk and Zechariah. Throughtheir leadership and preaching, the peo-ple were motivated to revive the nationand to build the Second Temple.

    A Third Temple revival is underway inthe land of Israel. The prophecy of theThird Temple is recorded in Ezekielchapter 37.

    The Jewish nation, dramatically re-gath-

    ered after 2,000 years of national exile,

    continues to evolve. The path of prophe-cy is leading to an inevitable collision with

    Armageddon. This coming battle isdescribed in Ezekiel 38-39 as well as in thelast three chapters of Zechariah.

    Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people roundabout, reads Zechariah 12:2-3, whenthey shall be in the siege both against

    Judah and against Jerusalem. And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensomestone for all people: all that burden them-selves with it shall be cut in pieces, thoughall the people of the earth be gatheredtogether against it.

    Verses 7-9 tell of Gods plans for Jerusalem: The LORD also shall save thetents of Judah first, that the glory of thehouse of David and the glory of the inhab-itants of Jerusalem do not magnify them-

    selves against Judah. In that day shall theLORD defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble amongthem at that day shall be as David; and thehouse of David shall be as God, as theangel of the LORD before them. And it shall come to pass in that day, that I willseek to destroy all the nations that comeagainst Jerusalem.

    While there are those today who teachthat God is done with the ethnic

    Hebrew, the Bible in fact teaches that God will once again turn to Israel to gath-er them back to Him. Romans 11:25-26says, For I would not, brethren, that yeshould be ignorant of this mystery, lest yeshould be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel,until the fulness of the Gentiles be comein. And so all Israel shall be saved.

    If God is to save the tents of Judah first,there will be a revival among the inhabi-tants of Judah before a revival in Israelproper. The Bible describes this latterrevival in Zechariah 13:9: And I will bringthe third part through the fire, and willrefine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is

    1,200people have beenkilled in Israel due toPalestinian terroristattacks.

    my people: and they shall say, TheLORD is my God.

    Israel is in a revival. The building of the Third Temple will be a part of that revival. However, in the midst of it all, the participants wont fully understand what they are a part of until they realize who Jesus Christ is. When that momentous day arrives,they will look upon His face and say,Blessed is he that cometh in thename of the Lord.

    As the building of the wall was apart of the Second Temple revival,the building of Israels security fenceis a part of the Third Temple era. Theevents that we are presently witness-ing will culminate with the Battle of Armageddon and the Second Com-ing of Jesus Christ.

    Over the last three years, 1,200 peoplehave been killed in Israel due to Palestin-ian terrorist attacks. Comparing Israels4.75 million Jewish population to a U.S.population of 290 million, this would bethe equivalent of 73,000 terrorist murdersin the states. It took only 3,000 deaths onSeptember 11th to motivate the Bushadministration to turn the world upsidedown looking for the responsible partiesa few manhunts and two wars... so far.

    Does Israel need the security? A goodcase can be made for it, and the fence may be a good part of the answer. No one cancross through it without going through acheckpoint and passing many rigorousqualifications. When and if it is complet-ed, the new wall will effectively separatethe Palestinian populace from the nationof Israel.

    2,600 Years Later,Same Enemies

    Today, as in Nehemiahs day, security isthe issue. And the enemies are the same!Moabites, Ammonites and other Arabs warred against Nehemiah. The wall wasbuilt between attacks. History does have

    this strange habit of repeating itself.Today, Israel is in the process of buildinganother wall while dodging bullets anddiplomatic hand grenades. The Arabs haveattacked with suicide bombings, missilesand potentially the most dangerous weapon, the world community. But whilethe UN has tried to force its will upon theplace where God chose to place His name,God is using a powerful eagle, the U.S.A.,to exercise its veto power defending Israelsright to safety and security... defending its very right to exist. e
