STATEMENT OF FAITH

We believe that the Bible is the inspired

Word of God, that Jesus Christ is the Savior

of the world, and that He will come again

to establish a kingdom that shall never be

destroyed (Daniel 2:44). Those who are born

again (John 3:35) will have eternal life andrule as kings and priests with Christ forever.

WHAT IS ENDTIME?

In 1968, Irvin Baxter Jr. discovered the United

States and other modern nations in the Bible.

He also found the Berlin Wall in the Bible

and that one day it was to be torn down,

re-uniting Germany, and that event would

be the catalyst to spark an international

movement called the New World Order.

These things have now come to pass. Irvin

Baxter Jr., a Pentecostal minister, began

Endtime Ministries in 1986 when he wrote A

Message For The President, a book explaining

the major prophecies of the Bible which

he had been teaching since 1968. After the

fall of the Berlin Wall, prophetic fulfillmentaccelerated rapidly. The decision was made

to launch Endtime magazine. The purpose

of the magazine is to explain the prophecies

of the Bible and to show that they are now

being fulfilled in intricate detail. Articles

focus on the soon return of Jesus Christ, the

truth of the Bible, and the need for salvation.

Endtime does not deal with doctrinal

controversies, as valid as they may be. This

will be left to other publications.

Endtime is published bi-monthly by Endtime, Inc., 449 Kingsbridge

exactly what we are referring to.

ere was only one first coming of Christ

to purchase redemption for the humanrace. Consequently, all dates are either

Are you ready for this?e world is now facing another of those

God-events. Im referring to the war

prophesied in the Bible that will begin in

Iraq and will kill one-third of the human

race. ere is simply no event that compares

with this one in all of human existence. Not

even close!e most catastrophic war of all time,

until now, was World War II. Fiy-two

million people died in this unprecedented

war. Now, multiply that carnage by FORTY!

ats what lurks just ahead for the future of

the human race!

is edition of Endtime is devoted to

this apocalyptic event that lies just ahead.

Dont miss Two Billion To Die. ere is

no doubt. It wil l be one of the God-events.

Middle EastPresident Bush and Condoleezza Rice

continue to attempt forcing a round peg intoa square hole. President Bush has announced

his intention to host an international peace

conference for the Middle East yet this year.

His goal is to resolve the conflict that he

believes is the key to peace on earth. e

next edition of Endtimemagazine will deal

extensively with the future of the Middle

East in Bible prophecy.

Irving Kristol memorably observed,

Whom the gods would destroy they first

tempt to resolve the Arab-Israeli conflict.

e Prophet Zachariah said it this way:And in that day will I make Jerusalem

a burdensome stone for all people: all

that burden themselves with it shall be

cut in pieces, though all the people of the

earth be gathered together against it

err-N eI |

a

Q: I was checking the Greek for the word

slay in Rev 9:15. What do you think about

the meaning, to deprive of spiritual life

and procure eternal misery in hell? Doyou think it is possible that the war will

spiritually kill one third of mankind?

- Tom

REPLY |As you stated, the verb used in Rev. 9:15

is the Greek verb apokteino. This verb (as do

most words) has a range of meanings. Usually,

an author intends on using only one of those

meanings in any particular usage. Discovering

which meaning was originally intended is

generally best determined by the context.

The word apokteino appears 74 times inthe Greek New Testament. The word can refer

both to natural death, as well as to spiritual

death. We know this by Jesus use of the term

in Matthew 10:28. He says, Fear not them

which kill the body, but are not able to kill the

soul Both times where the KJV says kill, the

Greek verb apokteino is used. That said, of the

74 times it is used in the New Testament, most

of the time it refers to physical death. When

it does refer to spiritual death, the context

usually gives clear indicators that this is so (e.g.

kill the soul Matt 10:28).So, does Revelation 9:15 refer to physical death

or spiritual death? As I mentioned above, the

context of the passage will be the best indicator

of what John was saying. Revelation 9:18 tells

us that the 1/3 of men were killed by the fire,

smoke, and brimstone which issued out of

the horses mouths. This seems to indicate a

physical death brought on by physical means.

Also, consider verse 19: And the rest of the

men which were not killed by these plagues yet

repented not of the works of their hands, that

they should not worship devils This versecontrasts those who were killed with those

who werent. If John was referring to a spiritual

death, separate from a physical death, this

verse wouldnt make much sense, as those who

were spiritually but not physically dead would

no doubt also not repent of their wickedness;

making the contrast meaningless. However,if John is referring to a physical death, this

verse becomes clear. Although 1/3 of man was

killed through the plagues, those who were

not killed are so hard of heart that even this

observable catastrophe does not move them

to repentance.

To sum it up: Although the word apokteino

can be used both of physical and spiritual

death, in the NT, it is usually used of physical

death. When it is referring to spiritual death,

there are normally clear indications of this in

the text (e.g. kill the soul). This, along with thecontext of Revelation 9:15, indicates that the

1/3 of mankind killed by the 6th trumpet war

are physically killed.

Q: Does the Church of Philadelphia

relate to any form of believers of today?

(Reference Rev 3: 7-10)

- Michael

REPLY | The messages to the seven churches

of Asia in Revelation 2 3 are messages to

literal churches of that day. God was speakingspecifically to the Philadelphia church and he

placed these things in His word for us to learn

from today. This does not mean, however, that

we are living in the Philadelphia church age

today. God allows each Christian to express

free will and decide what type of Christian they

will be. The value to us

comes when we take the

positive principals and

apply them to

our personal

relationships withGod and man.

Q: What happens when we die? Do we go

directly to heaven? When are Christians

judged?

- Linda

REPLY | The answer all depends on the condition

of ones soul. For those who have been born

again according to John 3 and Acts 2, they will

enjoy entering into the presence of the Lord

according to II Cor 5:8, We are confident, I say,

and willing rather to be absent from the body,

and to be present with the Lord. The context

of this passage seems to indicate that our spirit

and soul goes directly to Heaven. The physical

body goes back to the dust of the earth (Gen.

3:19). After the resurrection (rapture) we willall receive a new body (I Peter 3:21). Romans

14:10 says, We shall all stand before the

judgment seat of Christ. According to Rev. 20,

the final judgment takes place 1000 years after

the rapture. As for the destiny of those who

have chosen not to walk with God, an example

was given by Jesus in Luke 16:19, about a rich

man who ignored a beggar named Lazarus.

Lazarus went to Heaven with Abraham, but

the rich man wound up in torments (Hell). The

Bible presents this story as true, and not as a

fictional parable for mere teaching purposes.For a more in-depth study, we recommend

that you obtain Irvin Baxters teaching course

which deals directly with these subjects. The

course is a production of Endtime University,

entitled, Understanding the Bible with

Irvin Baxter. You may order the course at

www.endtime.comor by calling 1800.endtime

(1800.363.8463)

Q: Does the mark of the beast happen

after the Antichrist is revealed? Does the

False Prophet come on the scene after theAntichrist is revealed?

- Lloyd

Letters and Feedback


7/32ENDTIMEMAGAZINE| September - October 2007 7SubscribeNow|www.endtime.com|Call 1.800.Endtime

REPLY | Yes, Rev. 9:13-16 provides a foundation

for the implementation of the mark of the

beast system. The Antichrist is revealed at the

time of the Abomination of Desolation (Mat.

24), which happens in the middle of the final 7

years, 3 1/2 years or 42 months (Rev. 13:5) after

the Confirmation of the Covenant (Daniel 9: 23-

27). Once the Antichrist is revealed in the newly

rebuilt Jewish temple on the Temple Mount inJerusalem (II Thes. 2:4), then he will soon usher

in the global-wide numbering system, designed

to control the personal buying habits of human

beings worldwide, thus gaining control of the

world economy itself.

As far as when the false prophet comes on the

scene, Rev. 13 tells us that he is actually the

one who persuades the world to worship the

Antichrist using false miracles. He helps to force

the implementation of his global numbering

system (666). In order for the false prophet to

help usher in the revealing of the Antichrist atthe Abomination of Desolation, he will have to

be very active prior to the revealing. Many who

understand prophecy will recognize who he is

based on the scriptures.

Q:How do you think two billion people could

die? We Americans have a see no evil, hear

no evil mentality as long as the good times

keep rolling, which is a similar mentality of

those in the roaring 20s before the crash.

We can speculate what the scenario will

be, but the fact is, the mark is coming asprophesied and we can not prevent it, only

delay the inevitable. Isnt there enough pain

and suffering and evil in this world today?

As far as Im concerned lets get on with

eternity, even so come Lord Jesus. Keep up

the good work Irvin Baxter and staff. Your

program is one that makes end time news

and biblical truth an unavoidable issue for

humanity. Though it may be a difficult pill

to swallow, a needed pill none the less. Just

be careful concerning the speculating! The

Lord bless you and yours- anonymous

REPLY | It would be nearly impossible to have

2 billion casualties without going nuclear.

The scripture also seems to indicate that

nuclear weapons will be used at the battle of

Armageddon according to Zechariah 14:12,

And this shall be the plague wherewith the

LORD will smite all the people that have fought

against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume

away while they stand upon their feet, and

their eyes shall consume away in their holes,and their tongue shall consume away in their

mouth. Most of the major nations which will

most likely be involved in the 6th trumpet war

are nuclear capable nations. The news has been

echoing world leaders statements regarding

their potential use.

Q: My son, Andrew (13 yrs) and I are really

into your prophecy series and enjoy it. We

are trying to figure out, based on news

articles on RFID chips, will RFID will be part

of the mark of the Beast? Do you discuss iton any of your DVDs? Thanks so much

- Juli

REPLY|We are glad to hear that Endtime material

is a blessing to you all. The passage where the

Mark of the Beast is found is Revelation 13:16-18.

Verse 18 contains the phrase, Six hundred

threescore and six, (666), which is derived

from the original Greek words: chi xi stigma

(pronounced key z stigma). This is the number

of the beast or of a man (the Antichrist). The last

Greek word in the phrase, stigma, represents thefinal 6, and it literally means to stick or to prick,

a mark incised or punched for recognition of

ownership. Today, it is becoming increasingly

popular for RFID chips to be surgically implanted

under human skin. This procedure has been

approved and encouraged by both the US Food

and Drug Administration, and the American

Medical Association. We are not saying for sure

that RFID implants will be the mechanism used

by the Antichrist, however, its a real possibility

which we cannot ignore. Endtime Ministries has

produced 2 important DVDs which deal with thissubject, entitled, 666Satans Master Plan and

666How Close. We also offer several DVDs

by Katherine Albrecht exploring the possibility

that RFID could be the mechanism used to fulfill

the technology side of this ancient prophecy.

You can obtain these at www.endtime.com or

call 1.800.ENDTIME (1.800.363.8463)

Q: I love the teaching, and prophetic

insight of Rev. Baxter. I was privileged

to enjoy Endtimes holy land prophecy

tour in the fall of 1995. In fact I was therewhen Israeli Prime Minister Rabin was

assassinated. It was an awesome trip

that has ever impacted my life. Who are

Gods real chosen people? In the Bible,

Judah-Benjamin were taken captive by

the Babylonians, mixed with them, and

then adopted the Babylonian religions.

I believe that Christians are Gods chosen

people. Keep up the good work of

the Lord.

- Mike

REPLY |You are correct that born again Christians

today are, in fact, Gods modern chosen people.

Israel has taken many twists and turns through

her lengthy history, and many times, she made

very poor choices which cost her dearly. The

fact remains, however, that according to Ezekiel

37, God promised to gather the Jewish people

back to their land, which you toured, and re-

establish them as a nation. This was fulfilled

in 1948. This same passage also prophesies a

supernatural spiritual awakening for Israel that

still is yet a future event.God promised in Joel 2:28 to pour out His Spirit

upon all flesh in the last days, which includes

the nation of Israel. Furthermore, Romans

11:25 provides this promise to the last-days

Jews: blindness in part is happened to Israel,

until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. 26

And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written,

There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and

shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: 27

For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall

take away their sins. By the way, the upcoming

Endtime Prophecy Tour of 2008 will be 11 days,exclusively in Israel. For more information

visit www.endtime.com or call 1.800.Endtime

World Review

6TH TRUMPET WATCH

MISSILE DEFENSE SYSTEM IS UP AND

RUNNING, MILITARY SAYS

Senior military offi cers are saying that the

tracking radars and interceptor rockets of

a new American missile defense system

can now be turned on at any time. The

antimissile system could guard against the

risk of ballistic missile attack from North

Korea even while development continues

on a series of radars in California and the

Pacific Ocean and on interceptor missiles in

Alaska and California.

BUSH SETTING UP AMERICA FOR WAR

WITH IRAN

Senior American intelligence and defense

offi cials believe President Bush and his inner

circle are taking steps to put America on the

path to war with Iran. Pentagon planners

have developed a list of up to 2,000 bombing

targets in Iran. In a theoretical scenario put

forth by a senior intelligence offi cer, the U.S.

would provoke a major Iranian response,

perhaps in the form of moves to cut off Gulf

oil supplies, to provide a trigger for air strikes

against Iran.

ALQAIDA PLANS NUCLEAR ATTACKS

ON 7 U.S. CITIES

FBI Director Robert Mueller said that al-

Qaidas paramount goal is to kill hundreds of

thousands of Americans. He said the threat

feels so real he lies awake at night thinking

about the prospect. In the book The Day

of Islam, author Paul Williams maintains

that al-Qaida is not content to blow up one

nuclear device or even simply a dirty nuke,

but wants to explode real nuclear devices in

seven U.S. cities simultaneously.

BUSH WARNS OF IRAN NUCLEAR

HOLOCAUST

In a speech to an American Legion group

in Nevada, and in an effort to convince

the war-weary public, President Bush saidthat the war in Iraq was the central front in

the fight against what he described as the

Sunni Muslim extremism of the al-Qaeda

terrorist network and the Shiite extremism

fuelled by Iran. He warned that letting Iran

acquire atomic weapons risked putting

the Middle East under the shadow of a

nuclear holocaust.

CHINA THREATENS NUCLEAR OPTION

OF DOLLAR SALES

The Chinese government has begun a

concerted campaign of economic threatsagainst the United States. It appears that

Beijing may use its $1.33 trillion of foreign

reserves as a political weapon to counter

pressure from the U.S. Congress. Described

as Chinas nuclear option in the state media,

such action could trigger a dollar crash.

U.S. INTELLIGENCE OFFICER SAYS

CHINAS MISPLACED CONFIDENCE IN

WAR CONTROL A DANGER

Chinese offi cials are studying the concept of

war control to evaluate scenarios should

fighting break out with Taiwan. China hasthreatened war if the island tries to formalize

its de-facto independence. Washington has

pledged defensive weapons for Taiwan and

has hinted it would provide military backing

if China attacked.

EU WATCH

EU LAWYERS AGREE ON TREATY TEXT

Legal experts from the 27 European Union

countries have agreed on a draft reform

treaty. The treaty is set to replace the defunct

European constitution. A Portuguesediplomat said Britain should be satisfied

with the outcome, but he insisted there was

no guarantee of an agreement.

EURO HITS ALLTIME HIGH

The euro reached a new all-time high

against the dollar. At its highest point, one

euro bought 1.4130 dollars. Pessimism

about the U.S. economy, worsened by the

housing crisis and the subsequent interest

rate cut pushed the dollar further down.

EUS SOLANA REFUSES COMMENT ON

NONUN SANCTIONS AGAINST IRANEU foreign policy chief Javier Solana refused

to comment on the possibility of non-United

Nations sanctions against Iran. Solanas

comments came after French Prime Minister

Francois Fillon said that tensions with

Iran were now extreme. Solana has been

negotiating to get Iran to suspend uranium

enrichment in exchange for political and

trade incentives.

EU AND THE GLOBALIST ALLIANCE

According to an article written by a

noted Norwegian blogger, Fjordman,multiculturalism is a tool to divide and

conquer. He points out that by dismantling

national borders, the EU has facilitated the

largest migration waves in European history,

and that Stalin did the same thing with

moving large population groups around to

unsettle the state and keep it disunited. He

says that people proclaiming that they are

citizens of the world fail to acknowledge

that rights can only be protected by

sovereign states upholding their territorial

and legal integrity.

WILLIAM HAGUE CONDEMNS

EU TREATY

According to the first authoritative analysis,

the new European Union treaty contains only

10 changes to the 250 proposals originally

outlined in the former EU constitution.

William Hague, the shadow foreign secretary,

said it was the EU constitution by another

name. By any honest analytical standards,

this treaty will mean, if it is enacted, a major

transfer of powers from Britain to the EU, he

said.

MARK OF THE BEAST WATCH

OFFICIALS SAY PR CAMPAIGN MAY

BOOST REAL ID POPULARITY

State motor vehicle administrators are

advising their colleagues to plot public

relations strategies to counteract the well-

publicized rebellion against the federal

Real ID requirements. The Department of

Homeland Security plans to issue final rules

this fall, but draft rules say that starting on

May 11, 2008, Americans will need federally

approved, machine readable ID cards.

THOUGH FDA APPROVED, MICROCHIP

IMPLANTS LINKED TO ANIMAL CANCER

When the U.S. Food and Drug Administration

approved implanting microchips in humans,

the manufacturer said it would save lives,

but neither the company nor the regulators

mentioned that a series of studies stated

that chip implants had induced malignant

tumors in some lab mice and rats. The

transponders were the cause of the tumors,

said Keith Johnson, a retired toxicologic

pathologist.

ARIZONA ADOPTS HYBRID ID

APPROACH

Arizona is now the third state to volunteer

to develop a hybrid identification card that

combines a state drivers license with a U.S.

border-crossing card. Arizonas new drivers

ALZHEIMERS PATIENTS LINING UP

FOR MICROCHIP

Up to 200 Alzheimers patients living near

Palm Beach, Fla., have been implanted with

the VeriChip. The chip contains a 16-digit

identification number, and the number willbe placed in a database in order to provide

medical information. Ida Frankel, who

developed Alzheimers disease, was one

of the first patients to be implanted with a

VeriChip.

MICROCHIP IMPLANTS RAISE

PRIVACY CONCERN

The chipping of two workers with RFID

chips under the skin was merely a way of

restricting access to vaults that held sensitive

data and images for police departments,

according to CityWatcher.com, a providerof surveillance equipment. The news that

workers had been injected with electronic

identifiers to perform their jobs fired up a

debate over the proliferation of ever-more-

precise tracking technologies and their

ability to erode privacy. Ultimately, says

Katherine Albrecht, a privacy advocate, the

fear is that the government or your employer

might someday say, Take a chip or starve.

MIDDLE EAST WATCH

ARCHEOLOGISTS FIND 2ND

TEMPLE QUARRY

The Israel Antiquities Authority has

uncovered the ancient quarry where

King Herods workers chiseled huge high-

quality limestones for the construction of

the Second Temple. This is the first Second

Temple quarry ever found. The enormous

size of the stones found at the site as well

as coins and fragments of pottery vessels

dating back to the first century AD indicated

that this was the site used 2,000 years ago in

the construction of the walls of the Temple

Mount.

UN ENVOY: REVIVED MIDEAST

TALKS POSSIBLE

Michael Williams, the U.N. special coordinator

for the Middle East peace process, said

there are signs of hope that Israel and

the Palestinians can agree to revive the

stalled peace process in time for a related

U.S.-sponsored international conference in

November. He said the dialogue thats been

going on between Israeli Prime Minister

Ehud Olmert and Palestinian PresidentMahmoud Abbas are encouraging signals.

There is a hope now which has been absent

for almost seven years.

OLMERT AND PERES: PALESTINIAN

STATE ON 100% OF WEST BANK AREA,

WITH SWAPS

According to an article in the Haaretz

newspaper, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert

examined a plan in which Israel would

transfer to the Palestinian state, areas

equivalent to 100 percent of the territories

conquered in 1967. The plan includes a

timetable for negotiations for the final

status agreement and implementing it.

Olmert met with Mahmoud Abbas and they

agreed that cooperation between Israel

and the Palestinian Authority would be

expanded. Our mutual goal is to realize the

shared vision between us and [U.S. President

George] Bush regarding the establishment

of two states for two peoples, who live side

by side in security and peace. We want to

achieve this as soon as possible.

BAN KIMOON ADVOCATES STRONGER

UN FOR A BETTER WORLD

Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon opened his

first annual debate of the General Assembly

with a call to global leaders to back his

efforts to bolster the United Nations. Our

Ban declared. On the Middle East, he said,

With renewed leadership from the Arab

world and the United States, coupled with

the efforts of Quartet Representative Tony

Blair, the elements for a renewed push

for peace are being brought together.

Mr. Ban offered a ringing endorsement of

multilateralism saying, An increasingly

challenges of tomorrow are best dealt with

through the UN. Indeed, they can only be

dealt with through the UN.

11/32

The prophecy hits you in the face like a ton of bricks! And

the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an

hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for TO SLAY THE

THIRD PART OF MEN. (Revelation 9:15)

My first reaction wasthat cant really be what the

prophecy says! To slay the third part of men? That would

be two billion people dead! Surely not!

I checked the Greek. Sure enoughone-third of

mankind. I checked several other translationsone-third

of the human race; one-third of all the people on earth;one-third of humanity. They all said the same thing!

A WAR IS JUST AHEAD THAT WILL KILL TWO BILLION

HUMAN BEINGS!

There simply is no precedent!

So that we can understand the enormity of this

prophecy, consider that, prior to the 20th century, there

had never been a war with one million fatalities. In 1914,

World War I broke out resulting in the death of 8.2 million

human beings! They called it The Great War! Some said it

would be the war to end all wars. But it wasnt. Twenty short years later, the world was plunged into

World War II. This time there were not 8.2 million killed.

This time52 million! It was as though something had

come unhinged within the human soul! Six thousand

years of recorded human history and not one war with

1 million fatalities. Then, within 20 years of each other,

two wars had claimed 8.2 million and 52 million lives.

Even more ominous were the two mushroom clouds that

towered over Hiroshima and Nagasaki as World War II

came to its apocalyptic conclusion.

Fear around the globe was palpable. What would the

next war producewith these new weapons of massdestruction filling the arsenals of the worlds nations?

World leaders just refused to think the unthinkable. But it

was frighteningly obvious that mankind now possessed

the power to wipe all life off the face of the planetmany

times over.

In a desperate attempt to insure that World War III

would never happen, the nations of the world decided

to create an organization designed to prevent war. They

called it the United Nations. Though many small wars

have raged around the globe since 1945, so far this new

system of global governance has contributed to avoidingthe nightmare scenario of World War III. All of us hope

that the tenuous peace that has largely prevailed will

Possibly. But, in my opinion, the

most likely time for the fulfillment

of this ominous prophecy of the

annihilation of one-third

of the human race is the

next 12 months.

The only question is When?

hold. But will it? No!

The prophecy is crystal clear. World War III is coming!

This time, there wont be 8.2 million dead. There wont be

52 million dead. This time 2 billion human beings will be

annihilated from the face of the earth! We are talking about

40 times the fatalities of World War II! Its almost impossible

to comprehend, but it is going to happen. The only question

is: When?

The war will start in Iraq!

According to Revelation 9:14, the prophesied war will

originate from the area of the Euphrates River. The Euphrates

River is located mostly in Iraq where the United States has

170,000 troops stationed at this present time. Since fighting

is raging along the Euphrates today, we have to ask if the

Sixth Trumpet War might already have begun.

A war that kills two billion people will obviously be

a World War, making it World War III. James Woolsey, CIA

Director during the Clinton administration, says that WorldWar III began on 9/11. Thomas Friedman of the New York

Times agrees with him. Former Speaker of the House Newt

Gingrich also believes that World War III started on 9/11.

Finally, President Bush has added his voice to those who

contend we are now in WW III. On May 6, 2006, he stated

that the revolt of passengers on Flight 93 was, The first

counter-attack of World War III.

When does the Bible say this war will occur?

The Sixth Trumpet War must occur before the

beginning of the great tribulation. The great tribulation isthat three and one-half year period that will immediately

precede the Battle of Armageddon. How do we know

the Euphrates River War must happen before the great

tribulation begins?

This prophesied war occurs in Revelation 9:13-21.

Right after this in Revelation 10, the beginning of the great

tribulation is recorded. In verse 5, an angel stands with

one foot on the land and one foot on the water declaring

that delay shall be no longer. Right after this, Revelation 11

describes the events of the final three and one-half years

preceding the Battle of Armageddon. In Revelation 11:2, we

are told that Jerusalem will be trodden down of the Gentiles

for the next 42 months (3 years). Then in Revelation 11:3,

Gods two witnesses begin their ministries, which continue

for the next 1260 days (3 years) until the end of the

tribulation period.

At the end of Revelation 11, the two witnesses are

killed, the last trumpet sounds, and the Battle of Armageddon

takes place. It is at this time that Jesus Christ returns to earth

to reign as King of kings and Lord of lords.

This same sequence of events is recorded in Daniel

12:1-7. An angel stands upon the waters and declares that

there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since

there was a nation even to that time, referring to the great

tribulation. One asked the angel how long it would be until

all this was over. He answered, Until a time, times, and an

half (3 years).

Both of these accounts describe an angel declaring

the beginning of a time of great tribulation, which will last

for three and one-half years.

Within the next 12 months?

According to the biblical prophetic timeline givenin scripture, four major prophetic fulfillments will occur at

approximately the same time.

If we can demonstrate that all four of these prophetic

developments are occurring right now, then it becomesobvious that the time for the Euphrates River War has

arrived! Please walk through the prophecies with me.

An international peace plan for the Middle East

Daniel 9:27 prophesies that the world community

and the leader of the world community, the Antichrist,

will confirm the Abrahamic covenant with many for seven

years. The Abrahamic covenant is the promise God made

to Abraham that the Promised Land would be given to his

descendants. The passage is Genesis 15:18,

In the same day the LORD made a covenant withAbram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from

the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:

This confirmation of the covenant will confirm Israels

right to exist in the Holy Land and will mark the beginning

of the final seven years to Armageddon. Halfway through

the final seven years, the Antichrist will order the stopping

of animal sacrifices on the Temple Mount, which will have

been resumed by then. He will then stand in the temple

claiming to be God. This could mean he will claim to be the

ultimate authority over the Temple Mount since it will have

been placed under international supervision by then.

Does such an international peace plan exist?

In 2002, it was decided that Israelis and Palestinians

simply could not make peace between themselves without

international intervention. A new international alliance was

formed called the Quartet. The alliance consisted of the

United States, the European Union, Russia, and the United

Nations. Its sole purpose of existence was to produce a

peace plan for the Middle East and to oversee its adoption.

In April of 2003, the Quartet presented a peace plan

to Israelis and Palestinians called the Roadmap for Peace.

The Roadmap called for the determining of final borders

between the Palestinians and the Israelis, settling the status

of Jerusalem and settling the status of the Temple Mount.


13/32


In June of 2003, the Roadmap for Peace was adopted

by Israelis and Palestinians at a signing ceremony that

President Bush attended. Since that time, the international

community has struggled to implement the Roadmap

without success.

At the beginning of 2007, the White House

announced that peace in the Middle East would be

one of the premier goals of President Bushs final twoyears in offi ce. A full-blown initiative to reach this goal

was launched.

Meetings of the Quartet were held, and a steady stream

of visits to the Middle East by high profile diplomats began.

These included the new Secretary General of the United

Nations Ban Ki Moon, U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza

Rice, and European Union High Representative of Foreign

Affairs Javier Solana.

In June of 2007, the

Quartet upped the ante even

farther. They appointed TonyBlair, the high-profile former

prime minister of Great Britain,

to be the special envoy to the

Middle East. In July, President

Bush announced his intention

to host an international

conference on the Middle

East with the goal of bringing

the implementation of the

Roadmap for Peace to a

successful conclusion. Under the intense

diplomatic pressure, Israeli

Prime Minister Ehud Olmert

and Palestinian Authority

Chairman Mahmoud Abbas

agreed to begin meeting

face-to-face bi-weekly. The

purpose of these meetings

was to pound out a general

agreement on core issues

for adoption at the peace

conference, tentatively announced for November 15, 2007.

Those core issues were defined as final borders, status of

Palestinian refugees, the status of Jerusalem and the status

of the Temple Mount.

If a general agreement can be attained before the

conference on these core issues, then negotiators will flesh

out the details of a final peace treaty within the six months

after the conference. This would allow the signing of the

treaty during the final year of the Bush administration.

Will a peace agreement on the Middle East be achieved?

According to the prophecies of the Bible, some form

of an agreement will be reached on the status of the Temple

Mount. Revelation 11:1-2 states that a rebuilt Jewish temple

will be under Jewish control while the outer court of the

temple will be under Gentile control. This arrangement

will continue during the 42 months preceding the Battle of

Armageddon.

Jesus also stated that Judea (the West Bank) would be

a place of terrible tribulation during this same 42 months.

This indicates that this area will be placed under the control

of Israels enemies.

From these specific prophecies, we can concludethat a peace agreement will take place, and when this

occurs, it will mark the beginning of the final seven years to

Armageddon.

The building of Israels temple on the Temple Mount

We have two specific prophecies that describe a

temple standing on the Temple Mount three and one-half

years before Armageddon. II

Thessalonians 2:3-4 states that the

man of sin, the Antichrist, will sit in

the temple of God, claiming to beGod. This is the event known as the

abomination of desolation, which

occurs three and one-half years

before Armageddon. Its obvious

that the Antichrist cannot sit in a

temple if there isnt one. Revelation

11:1-2 describes the measuring of

a temple on the Temple Mount 42

months before Armageddon and

the Second Coming. Of course,

a temple couldnt possibly bemeasured if none existed.

Since both of these prophecies

foretell that a temple will exist

three and one-half years before

Armageddon, we know for certain

that the temple has to be built

prior to this time.

When will the temple be built?

When Israels First Temple

was completed in 968 BC, King

Solomon offered an animal sacrifice at the dedication. After

this, daily sacrifices were offered as mandated by scripture.

When the Second Temple was completed in 516 BC, again

the daily sacrifices were instituted.

When the Third Temple is completed, sacrifices will be

offered again. How do we know this? The Bible prophesies

that the Antichrist will cause the sacrifice and the oblation

to stop. You cant stop sacrifices that are not in progress.

Why will the Antichrist stop the sacrifices?

Imagine the cameras of CNN and other news services

honing in on the little lamb being offered for the morning

sacrifice and then another little lamb being sacrificed that

evening. In our present animal rights climate, how long will

it take for the animal rights activists to begin marching

with placards: ANIMALS HAVE RIGHTS TOO! BARBARISM IN

THE 21st CENTURY! It wont take long.

We know that the sacrifices are stopped in the midst

of the final seven years (Daniel 9:27). From this we can

conclude that the building of the temple will be completed

not too long before this midway point.

How close are we to the building of the Third Temple? For many years, the Temple Institute in Jerusalem has

been preparing the furniture and the utensils of the temple

in anticipation of the time when the temple will be rebuilt.

Within the last two years, the Institute has announced that

these preparations are now complete.

On October 13, 2004, the Jewish Sanhedrin was

reborn after being disbanded for 1,600 years. The

Sanhedrin was Israels supreme court in biblical times. It

was the Sanhedrin that put Jesus and many of the apostles

on trial.

At the Sanhedrins monthly meeting in June of2005, they decided it was time to begin the rebuilding of

the temple. Since the Israeli government does not allow

Jewish religious activity on the Temple Mount, it was

decided that the temple would be built off-site, in the

same way that Solomons temple was built off-site and

then assembled on the Temple Mount. The decision was

made to prefabricate the building of the temple for quick

assembly once permission is granted by the government

to construct it.

On March 22, 2007, an article appeared in the Religion

News Service announcing the Sanhedrins plan to offer aPassover Sacrifice. They planned to sacrifice sheep on the

Temple Mount on the day before the Passover, which was

to start at sundown April 2. If the government will not

resist, we will do it, said Rabbi Dov Stein, a member of

the Sanhedrin.

The Sanhedrin bought a herd of 12 sheep, 110-150

pounds each, from a farm in southern Israel. Anyone

wanting to eat of the sacrifice can pay seven shekels ($1.67)

for an 8-10 gram slice, the minimum required by Jewish

law, Stein said.

The only thing standing between Israel and the

prophesied rebuilding of her temple is an agreement on

the status of the Temple Mount, which the Roadmap for

Peace calls for.

Preparations for the mark of the beast

Preparations for the mark of the beast must take

place in the first three and one-half years of the final seven,

since the mark will be implemented during the reign of the

Antichrist, which takes place during the last three and a

half years.

The prophecy states:And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor,

free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, orin their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell,

save he that had the mark, or the name

of the beast, or the number of his name.

Revelation 13:16-17

Economic sanctions are the favorite tool of the

United Nations against those states that will not submit

to the edicts of the world community. When sanctions are

levied against a nation, as is now being done to Iran, the

member nations of the UN agree to not trade with that

nation. The goal is to create such economic pressure thatthe offending nation will submit to the will of the world

government structure.

This same practice of sanctions will be used by

the world government during the great tribulation.

However, it will not only be used against nations, but also

against individuals.

The Antichrist will control the people of the world

during the great tribulation by forcing every person on

earth to worship him (pledge allegiance to him). Those who

do will be given a mark or a number permitting them to

participate in the economy of the world. Those who refuse

will be sanctioned economically by denying them the

privilege of buying and selling. Only since the invention

of the computer and the birth of the Internet has such a

system of worldwide economic control been possible.

The system is being set up now!

On May 11, 2005, President Bush signed the Real ID Act.

This law, advocated by the 9/11 Commission, was designed

to give the government control over every person in the

United States. The rationale behind this huge suspension

of freedom was that the only way to spot terrorists is to be

able to track and control everybody.

The Real ID Act mandates that every American have a

national ID card obtained from their state Bureau of Motor

Vehicles, by May 11, 2008. Coded into this card will be yourbirth certificate, your number (SS number), your digitized

picture, and your biometric identification (fingerprint or

eyescan).

It is rather sobering that the prophecy states the mark

will be in the hand or the forehead. Our fingerprints are on

our hands, and our eyes are in our foreheads. Too close for

comfort, isnt it!

The key to total control

The Real ID Act requires that each state place all this

information into the database of the BMV. Furthermore, thestate is then required to link its database with the databases

of the other 49 statescreating a national database. Once

every persons information is placed into the national

database, the federal government can then access your

records at the push of a button!

Furthermore, without a national ID card, a person

wont be able to board an airplane, open a bank account or

access any service requiring approved federal ID.

Without your ID card, you cant buy or sell

Sec. 707 of Homeland Securitys Immigration Billreveals exactly what proponents of big government intend

to do. Section 707 is titled: Report on social security card-

based employment eligibility verification.

(A) A requirement that social security cards that are

made of a durable plastic or similar material and that include

an encrypted, machine-readable electronic identification

strip and a digital photograph of the individual to whom

the card is issued, be issued to each individual (whether or

not a United States citizen).

(B) The creation of a unified database to be maintained

by the Department of Homeland Security and comprisedof data from the Social Security Administration and the

Department of Homeland Security specifying the work

authorization of individuals (including both United States

citizens and non-citizens) for the purpose of conducting

employment eligibility verification.

(C) A requirement that all employers verify the

employment eligibility of all new hires using the social

security cards described in subparagraph (A) and a phone,

electronic card-reading, or other mechanism to seek

verification of employment eligibility through the use of

the unified database described in subparagraph (B).

This bill would have required you to have a national

ID or else you would have been unable to hold a job in

America! No job? No buying and selling! The administration

and Homeland Security pushed for the passage of the

Immigration Bill with all of their might. Thankfully, it went

down to defeat. However, the danger is not past.

In spite of this decisive defeat, Homeland Security is

determined to enforce its system of total control over the

populace through its national ID scheme. The Real ID Act is

still law and due to be implemented starting May 11, 2008.You can be sure that Homeland Security fully intends to

find another way to require a national ID as a condition of

employment.

Realizing that the implementation of the national ID

would spell the end of freedom, as we have known it, many

states are moving to reverse the Real ID Act. Seven states

have now passed laws against its implementation. Twenty-

seven others have either passed resolutions against it or

have introduced bills against it in their state legislatures.

The government is justifying this obsession with

control by contending that the security of the nationrequires it. However, we must not forget that control and

freedom are opposite terms. If we are controlled, we are

not free.

Whats behind the Real ID?

CNET news disclosed on October 26, 2005 whats

behind this drive for the implementation of a national

ID. The International Civil Aviation Organization, a United

Nations agency, has set globally interoperable standards

for identification documents. So what we are really

witnessing is not just the setting up of a national ID. Weare actually experiencing the establishment of a global ID

system.

Great Britain is also in the process of establishing

a national ID card. George Bush and Tony Blair agreed

that Britains cards would be readable on Americas card-

reading machines and Americas cards would be readable

on Britains machines. Then the other 26 nations in the EU

decided they should make their ID cards compatible with

Britains ID cards; thus they will also be compatible with

our cards. Consequently, the national ID will now be good

in the U.S. and throughout Europe! You get the idea. Thenational ID is quickly being transformed into a global ID.

Is the mechanism for the mark of the beast being put in

place right now? Obviously!

The Euphrates River War

The fourth prophecy that will be fulfilled just before

the final three and one-half years begins is the Euphrates

River War. Obviously, this prophecy does not even require

discussion. The fact that it is in process of fulfillment at this

moment is self-evident. The United States has 170,000 troops

fighting up and down the Euphrates at this present time.

The checklist:

International peace plan for the Middle East

Building of Israels temple

Preparing for the mark of the beast

War fought along the Euphrates River

Since all four of these prophetic fulfillments are inprogress right now, it appears certain that the present

Euphrates River War is the Euphrates River War of Revelation

9:13-21. If this is true, then we know that two billion people

will die before this war comes to its culmination.

President Bush has about one year left of his term. Since

this is his war and considering that he has the temperament

to participate in such a war, it certainly seems probable

that the prophesied apocalypse will occur while he is yet

in office.

If these things prove to be true, then two billion

human beings will die in the next 12 months!God help us all!

Will the national ID become the mark of the beast?

All of the elements needed for establishing

the prophesied mark of the beast are present in the

requirements of the Real ID Act. The only thing that

would have to be added would be some type of pledge

of allegiance to the Antichrist or to his one-world

government. If the Real ID Act is not repealed, it appears

almost certain that it will ultimately become the mark of

the beast.

The entire world is preparing for the mark

Out of 193 nations on earth, 188 of them either have

a national ID card or are in the process of implementing

one. The only nations without a national ID are Mexico,

Ireland, Congo, New Zealand, and the Philippines. Soldiers position their bridge erection boats against the current asthey remove an assault float bridge from the Euphrates River near

Even though there have been numerous attempts

to disprove the Jewish Holocaust ever occurred, it

has been unequivocally documented by the survivors

and guards of the Nazi death camps, and from the

testimony taken during the 1945 Nuremburg War

crimes hearings.

Since his election in June 2005, Iranian President

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has ridiculed Jewish history

and sparked worldwide criticism by referring to the

Holocaust as a myth, a legend that was fabricated

by the United States and Europe to justify the creation

of a Jewish state in Palestine.

In 2006, Iran even hosted a two-day international

conference for likeminded naysayers who also dismiss

WKH DQQLKLODWLRQ RI VL[ PLOOLRQ -HZV DV FWLRQ RU

exaggeration. Addressing the gathering, Ahmadinejad

blamed the Holocaust for all of the turmoil in the

Middle East. He challenged the group to consider,

if the Holocausts truth is ruled out, root causes

of problems and crimes in the Middle East will be

terminated.

This is the same Ahmadinejad who has openly

boasted, Israel will vanish just like the Soviet Union

collapsed, and humanity will be liberated. His statedgoal is the same as Adolph Hitlers Final Solution 60

years ago. In his own words, Israel must be wiped off

the map, and driven into the sea.

What Are Irans Nuclear Capabilities?

For almost twenty years, Iran successfully concealed

its nuclear fuel program until U.S. satellite photos

to reveal in 2003 its uranium enrichment program and

invite the UN monitoring body, the International Atomic

Energy Agency (IAEA) to visit.

In November 2004, Tehran promised Germany,

France, and Britain that it would cease its uranium

enrichment program. The IAEA approved the agreement,

and Iran avoided UN Security Council intervention. Iran

promptly ignored the agreement and pursued its nuclear

activities, claiming they were for peaceful purposes

only.

On December 23, 2006, the Security Council

unanimously adopted Resolution 1737 (2006), which

imposed sanctions to block the import or export of

assets of persons or entities that support Irans nuclear

weapons development. Iran immediately rejected the

favor would regret it.

On March 24, 2007 the Security Council passed

Resolution 1747, which tightened sanctions againstIran and expanded the freeze on assets and aid,

except for humanitarian purposes. Iran immediately

denounced the resolution as illegal and continued

to expand its nuclear program, asserting that it has as

much right as the U.S. and other nations to develop

nuclear capabilities.

Why are sanctions unsuccessful?

For the past six months, the UN sanctions have

failed to curtail Irans nuclear ambitions. By now there

should be a growing realization that the process ofendless dialog and toothless sanctions are ineffective.

Time is on Irans side, and Ahmadinejad knows it. He

watched the same game of diplomacy between the UN

Security Council and North Korea. As the talks dragged

on, North Korea continued to develop its nuclear arsenal

and now claims it has several nuclear devices. Iran is not

far behind.

Even so, the Bush administration is pushing for

increased sanctions, though the Security Council has not

carried out the existing penalties. To Bushs dismay, the

U.S. is losing supportfrom Russia, China,

and several European

nations, which blame

the U.S. for the lack of

enforcement.

Does Iran have the capability to destroy Israel?

The Jerusalem Post reported on September 17,

2007 there were six hundred Iranian Shihab-3 missiles

pointed at various targets throughout Israel. According

to the Iranian news website, Assar Iran, Iran will

shoot at Israel 600 missiles if it is attacked, and

The Shihab-3 has a range of 1,300 km, and it

can reach anywhere in Israel from Iran. According to a

Middle East Intelligence Bulletin from August 2000, the

Shihab-3 has negligible value as a conventional weapondue to its lack of target precision. Its true value is its

ability to deliver nuclear, chemical, or biological agents

of mass destruction.

Former U.S. Speaker of the House of

Representatives Newt Gingrich, is not swayed by

Ahmadinejads claim of pure intentions. The Israeli

people are facing the threat of a nuclear Holocaust,

he warned at a conference held earlier this year by the

Institute For Policy and Strategy.

How are world leaders responding to Irans

latest threat?

In mid-September, French Foreign Minister

Bernard Koucher referred to the situation as, the

Iranian nuclear crisis that has forced the world,

to prepare for the worst, and the worst is war.

Koucher was also quoted by the French newspaper,

/H )LJDUR DV VD\LQJ RQH FDQQRW QG LQ WKH HQWLUH ZRUOG

a crisis greater than this one, referring to Irans open

threat to annihilate Israeland her allies, namely the

United States. President

Ahmadinejad dismissed

Kouchers remarks

and accused France

of, copying the White

House, and taking on

an American skin.

To the contrary, in a

speaking engagement

at Emory Universityin September, former

President Jimmy

Carter stated it seemed

inconceivable that Iran

would commit suicide

by launching missiles at

Israel. He concluded that

the unrest between Israel

and the Palestinians in

Gaza and the West Bank present a greater threat to

the Middle East than Iran. On the other hand, President Bush believes

Iran is serious about its threats against Israel, which

would throw the Middle East into chaos. Bush has

publicly denounced Irans plans and tried to pressure

Ahmadinejad to abandon his nuclear program aimed at

developing atomic weapons.

The United States Air Force has established a

Editors note: Many of you have requestedinformation on what to do if America does becomethe target of a nuclear attack. This article is beingmade available in response to those requests. The 6th Trumpet War is expected to be a NuclearWar. The Bible tells us that the end result of thiswar is that one-third of mankind will die. Manyhave asked questions about things we might do toprepare ourselves for this event and its aftermath.The following information and guidelines areintended to both educate and aid you in forming

Since so many will perish in this war, the mostimportant thing anyone can do is to be sure you areready to meet the Lord, and help as many othersto be ready as you possibly can. For those whosurvive, there are some things you should be awareof and plan for. In an all out nuclear war, military strategistsbelieve that the initial goal of the enemy would be toknock out communications by detonating a nuclear

weapon above the earths atmosphere to create anelectromagnetic pulse (EMP). It is believed thatan EMP can seriously damage electronic devices

connected to power sources or antennas includingcommunication systems, computers, electricalappliances, and automobile or aircraft ignitionsystems. According to FEMA, the damage couldrange from a minor interruption to actual burnoutof components. Most electronic equipment within1,000 miles of a high-altitude nuclear detonationcould be affected. (Battery-powered radios withshort antennas generally would not be affected.)

The EMP is unlikely to harm people. ,Q VXFK D VFHQDULR SHRSOH FRXOG QG WKHPVHOYHVwithout the ability to communicate with anyone orget information on what is happening beyond theirimmediate surroundings. It is not possible to knowthe day of the week or time of day that a nuclear

Targets Military experts believe that primary targets would bemissile silos, bomber bases, submarine bases, and commandand control centers. Other targets might include majormilitary, industrial, governmental, transportation, andpopulation centers.

The effects of a nuclear explosion will vary greatlydepending on weather, geography, size of the weapon, etc.If the weapon is detonated above ground there will be lessfallout than with a weapon that detonates at or near theground. The blast will pulse outward for several miles. Forthose who are far enough away to survive the blast, yourimmediate need will be for shelter from fallout, and possiblymedical help.

InWorld War I, wounded soldiers in hospitals sufferedagonies having their wounds cleaned and dressedfrequently: many died as a result of such harmfulcare. In contrast, before antibiotics became availablelate in World War II, casts and dressings on infectedwounds sometimes were not changed for weeks.

The severity of radiation sickness will depend uponthe amount of exposure. The human body usually canrepair almost all radiation damage if the daily doses arenot too large. Typical symptoms of radiation sickness

include varying degrees of nausea, diarrhea, and

weakness lasting a day or two in most people, followedby a recovery time of days to weeks, and then a relapse

which may be worse than the initial symptoms. Fullrecovery can take months. If a survivor has beenexposed to enough radiation, death can occur withindays to weeks.
