and found wanting.and found wanting.and found wanting.and found wanting. DANIEL 5:27

EVERYONE knows that the world is confronted by a multitude of disasters. But most people, evidently, do not realize that the world is on the brink of the

greatest catastrophe since the universal flood in Noahs day. The nations carry on as though the current disasters are merely bumps on the

road.

And tragically, the church at large, which should be the prophetic eyes and ears of the world, has been lulled into a deadly slumber. Few are faithful watchmen who sound the alarm,

and proclaim to a perishing world

Alas for the day!

For the Day of YHWH is near, and

it will come as destruction from the Almighty.

JOEL 1:15

THE DAY OF YAHWEH THE LORD is that dreaded 7-year period of Great Tribulation, of which both the prophet Daniel, and the Messiah Yshua, warned in black and white, in unmistakeable words:

Then there will be great tribulation, such as has never occurred since the

beginning of the world until now; and there will be nothing like it again.

(Matthew 24:21. Also Daniel 12:1) That period has been described by the prophet Malachi as the day thats coming, burning like a furnace And dozens of details about those seven years - which could be described as hell on earth - are given by the prophets, and the Book of Revelation.

Those seven years are loaded with disasters earthquakes, cyclones, tsunamis, famines, pestilences and diseases; and there will be terrors from the sky as stars asteroids and comets bombard the earth. There will be wars, violence and brutality that will make the massacres in Syria, Cambodia and Rwanda look like kids play. Worse still, there will be a nuclear holocaust a world war that will reduce much of the world to rubble.

Moreover, the Tribulation will include a horrific 3 year satanic regime that will surpass Nazi Germany, Chinas Cultural Revolution, and the Soviet Unions communism. It will be an age when demons delight in the destruction of all that is Godly. Its ...

A day of darkness and gloom; a day of clouds and gross darkness ... There has never been anything like it, nor will there ever be in the ages to come. (Joel 1:15; 2:2)

Make no mistake about it, my reader. This is the appointed time, and its coming!

For God has appointed a day in which He will judge the world in righteousness ... (Acts 17:31) Therefore, God now commands all people everywhere to

repent! and to seek the LORD while He may be found, and to call upon Him while He is near while He is still available and willing to save. (Acts 17:30. Isaiah 55:6)

For WHOEVER WILL CALL UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED. (Romans 10:13)

THERES A LOT OF WRITING ON THE WALL!

We are not talking about objectionable graffiti on our city walls. We are talking about the multitude of signs, and warnings that are reports on the pages of our newspapers, and on the screens of our TVs, computers and ipods.

The expression, The Writing on the Wall comes from the Biblical story of

BELSHAZZAR, THE KING OF BABYLON

We read the chilling story in Daniel chapter 5.

Belshazzar the king held a great feast for a thousand of his great men, and he was drinking wine in their presence. When he tasted the wine, Belshazzar gave orders to bring in the gold and silver vessels which Nebuchadnezzar his father had taken from the Temple which was destroyed in Jerusalem, so that the king, his great

men, and his wives and concubines might drink from them.

Then they brought the gold vessels that had been taken from the Temple, the House of God which had been in Jerusalem; and the king and his great men, his

wives and his concubines drank from them.

They drank the wine and praised the gods of gold and silver, of bronze, iron, wood and stone. At that moment the fingers of a mans hand appeared and began writing on the plaster of the wall of the kings palace, opposite the lampstand. And the king saw the form of the hand that did the writing. Then the kings face changed and his thoughts alarmed him, and his hip joints went slack and his knees began knocking together. (Daniel 5:1-6)

THE STORY GOES ON

The king promised to richly reward the wise man who could explain the strange signs. When all Belshazzars wise men could not explain the phenomenon, they brought in Daniel the prophet. Daniel told the king to keep his gifts, but nevertheless, he would reveal the meaning of the writing on the wall.

First, Daniel told Belshazzar about his father the great Nebuchadnezzar. The Most High God granted sovereignty, grandeur, and glory to Nebuchadnezzar, but this great man became proud and arrogant; and he lost his throne, and his mind. He was driven out and lived and ate like cattle in the fields. Then Daniel laid it on the line for the present king, Belshazzar:

DANIEL 5:22-28, 30

"And you his son, Belshazzar, have not humbled your heart, even though you knew all this, but you have exalted yourself against the Heavenly Master; and they have brought the vessels of His House before you, and you and your great men, your wives and your concubines have been drinking wine from them; and you have praised the gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood and stone, which do not see, hear or understand. But the God in whose hand are your life-breath and all your ways, you have not honoured or glorified. So the form of the hand was sent from Him, and this inscription has been written out. Now this is the inscription that has been written out:

MENE, MENE, TEKEL UFARSIN

(Numbered, numbered, weighed and divided.)

And this is the interpretation of the message: MENE: God has numbered your kingdom and put an end to it. TEKEL: You have been weighted on the scales and found wanting. PERES (FARSIN): Your kingdom has been divided and given to the Medes and Persians.

So that was the writing on Belshazzars wall! And the story winds up with this brief conclusion ...

That very night Belshazzar, the king of the Chaldeans, was slain."

Yahweh, the Creator of Heaven and Earth, is keenly interested in the nations, both past and present. He looks down and sees the affairs of men. He sees the corruption of leaders, and the careless abandon of the peoples. And He weighs the nations today, and finds them wanting!

He sees the soul-destroying addictions, the society-destroying violence, and the nation-destroying anarchy. And He is neither amused, nor nonchalant! It is written:

God now commands all people everywhere to repent, because He has fixed a

day in which He will judge the world in righteousness through a Man (Yshua, Jesus, the Messiah) whom He has appointed, having furnished proof to all by raising

Him from the dead. (Acts 17:30-31)

For I am YHWH (Yahweh) who speaks, and what-ever word I speak will be

performed. It will no longer be delayed, for in your days, O rebellious house, I will speak the word and perform it, declares the Sovereign Master, YHWH. (Ezekiel 12:25)

I repeat, my friend, theres a lot of "writing on the wall" today! And its not meaningless

graffiti; its the warning from God to the nations today

"You have been weighted on the scales and found wanting!" (Daniel 5:27)

You can read the "writing" every day in your newspapers, or see it on your screens. The writing is in the frequent disasters around the world; in the alarming conflicts and instability of nations, in the shaking of our global economies, in the build-up of weapons of mass destruction, and in the deterioration of our present world (dis)-order.

A WORLD OF ANXIETY, FEAR AND TURMOIL

Yshua the Messiah warned concerning these endtimes. He knows the end from the beginning, and so He said:

Men's hearts will faint from terror, being apprehensive of what is coming upon the world, for the very powers of the heavens will be shaken. (Luke 21:26)

RUSSIAN LAWMAKER URGES MEDIA TO LIMIT 'END OF WORLD' COVERAGE

A lawmaker in Russias St. Petersburg said recently that media coverage of the possible end of the world in 2012 was contributing to a rise in suicides and crime and asked the city governor to outlaw the topic from local newspapers and television. (Maybe in 2013 the fears might cool down!)

But lets examine some of our

RAPIDLY DETERIORATING GLOBAL CONDITIONS

ECOLOGICAL & GEOPHYSICAL DISASTERS There will be mighty and violent earthquakes in various places, and plagues, (pestilences, malignant, contagious or infectious diseases, and deadly, devastating epidemics), and famines; and there will be terrors and great signs from heaven. (Luke 21:11)

Earthquakes, volcanos, cyclones, tornados, wild fires, drought, famines and pestilences are gripping the globe on a daily basis. It is almost impossible to report or to keep up with all of the disasters.

Every day there are earthquakes, but unless they devastate a populated area, they are rarely given a mention in the news media. But the fact is that

THE WORLD IS CONSTANTLY SHAKING

Each year the Earth experiences at least

one earthquake of magnitude 8+;

fifteen earthquakes of magnitude 7 to 7.9;

one hundred earthquakes of magnitude 6 to 6.9;

and tens of thousands of quakes less than 6.

From 1990 to 1999 there were 1515 quakes of 6 and above.

From 2000 to 2010 there were 1776 quakes of 6 and above.

In 2010 there was a huge death toll - an estimated 320,129 people died in earthquakes (including around 200,000 in the Haiti quake).

The eight most powerful quakes ever recorded were in

1868 PERU 9.0 1908 ITALY 9.0 1952 RUSSIA 9.0

1960 CHILE 9.5. 1964 ALASKA 9.2 (& 3 in the last 7 years) --

2004 INDONESIA 9.1. 2010 CHILE 8.8. 2011 JAPAN 9.0

Seismologists, especially in Japan, talk about a big one that will surely come. Please

note there are two specific prophecies regarding the big one.

For the windows above are opened, and the foundations of the earth shake. The earth is broken asunder, the earth is split through; the earth is shaken violently. The earth reels to and fro like a drunkard, and it totters like a shack, for its transgression is heavy upon it. (Isaiah 24:18-20) Then there were flashes of lightning and sounds and peals of thunder; and there was a great earthquake, such as there had not been since man came to be upon the earth, so great an earthquake was it, and so mighty. The great city was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations collapsed. And God remembered Babylon the Great and gave her the cup filled with the wine of His furious wrath and indignation. And every island fled away, and the mountains could not be found. (Revelation 16:18-20)

So we can say every earthquake is a reminder, and a warning of the big one thats coming.

Regarding the horrendous tsunamis we have seen lately as a result of the earthquakes in Indonesia in 2004, and Japan in 2011 - the Messiah forewarned:

And there will be perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. (Luke 21:25)

And here is a very poignant writing on the wall - the nuclear

disaster as a result of the Japanese tsunami.

FUKUSHIMA COULD BE THE REVELATION APOCALYPSE IN THE MAKING!

APR. 27/12. Kevin Kamps, a nuclear watchdog official told RT News that the crisis at the crippled Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan could become a "global catastrophe."

Of the four reactors that were damaged, reactor No 4 was the most crippled.

Mitsuhei Murata, the former Japanese ambassador to Switzerland, and Executive Director, the Japan Society for Global System and Ethics also expressed grave concerns

about what would happen if the damaged building that houses Reactor 4 collapsed.

According to the Huffington Post, Murata explained to the Swiss House of Councillors in March that should such an event occur, it would adversely affect the thousands of spent nuclear fuel rods nearby, which are dangerously exposed to air.

"It is no exaggeration to say that the fate of Japan and the whole world depends on No. 4 reactor," he said.

According to nuclear expert Robert Alvarez, if the 11,421 spent nuclear fuel rods contained in the facility also went up in flames, it would unleash 85 times the amount of Cesium-137 released by the Chernobyl disaster.

The release of this amount of Cesium-137 would "destroy the world environment and our civilization. This is an issue of human survival." - akiomatsumura.com/2012/04/682.html

An estimated 18,000 stillborn babies have followed the Fukushima disaster. Fish in the Pacific have been contaminated by radiation, and plumes of iodine, cesium, strontium, plutonium, uranium and other fission products are moving towards the West Coast of the US.

Reports also indicate that pollen in California is already radioactive. Federal agencies have tried their best to hide the danger of the radioactive plumes reaching the US from Fukushima; and the cover-up is now being called "Plume-Gate."

Therefore a curse devours the earth, and those who live in it are held guilty. Therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned up, and few men are left. (Isaiah 24:6) A great star, blazing like a torch, fell from the sky on a third of the rivers and on the springs of waters, and the name of the star is Wormwood - "Bitterness." A third of the waters became wormwood, and many people died from the waters that had become bitter. (Revelation 8:10-11)

FOOD INFLATION, SHORTAGES, AND RIOTS

MID-SEPT. 2012. A devastating global food crisis unlike anything we have ever seen in modern times is coming. Crippling drought and bizarre weather patterns have damaged food production all over the world this summer. Both the UN and the World Bank have issued ominous warnings about coming food inflation.

To people in the Western world, a rise in the price of food can be a major inconvenience, but in the developing world it can mean the difference between life and death. Just re-member what happened back in 2008. When food prices hit record highs it led to food riots in 28 different countries.

In September 2012, world food prices rose and were moving nearer to levels reached during the 2008 food crisis.

Today, there are approximately 2 billion people that are malnourished around the globe. Even rumours of food shortages are enough to spark mass chaos in many areas of the planet. When people fear that they are not going to be able to feed their families, they

tend to get very desperate. That is why a recent CNN article declared that 2013 will be a year of serious global crisis.

The truth is that we are not just facing rumours of a global food crisis one is actually starting to unfold right in front of our eyes. The United States experienced the worst drought in more than 50 years this summer, and some experts are already declaring that the weather has been so dry for so long that tremendous damage has already been done to next years crops.

On the other side of the world, Russia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan have all seen their wheat crops devastated by the horrible drought this summer. Australia has also been dealing with drought, and in India monsoon rains were about 15% behind pace in mid-August.

Global food production is going to be much less than expected this year, and global food demand continues to steadily rise. What that means is that food inflation, food shortages and food riots are coming, and it isnt going to be pretty. - prisonplanet.com

And there will be in various places, and plagues, and famines. (Luke 21:11)

NIGER HIT BY WORST FLOODING IN 80 YEARS

SEPT 20/12. The international aid group Oxfam says half a million people have been displaced in Niger as the country reels from the worst flooding in 80 years.

This landlocked West African country has been afflicted by droughts in 2005, 2010 and early 2012 which caused an acute hunger crisis. The director for Oxfam said the rains were needed, but the excessive rainwater has now destroyed 17,000 acres (7,000 hectares) of crops, making it even more difficult for families strained by drought to rebound.

More than 80 people have been killed in the floods, and about 350,000 million children

facing life-threatening malnutrition this year. - Associated Press

Niger, a small almost-unheard-of country, may seem a weak example of disaster, especially when we remember the enormous floods experienced in Pakistan, Australia, Britain and the US in the last couple of years. But Niger reminds us of the many small forgotten countries that are also being besieged by endtime tragedies.

INDIAN FLOODING LEAVES TWO MILLION HOMELESS

SEPT 26/12. More than two million people in Assam in North East India have been forced to leave their homes after rising floods left almost two thousand villages under water.

Eighteen people have died in the tragedy and many more are missing as rescue teams have been hampered by poor weather.

According to government disaster management officials more than 400,000 in the state

are living in temporary relief shelters. Several hundred thousand homes have been

destroyed.

The floods were caused by driving monsoon rains and fast-rising water levels in five of the state's main rivers, including the biggest of them, the Brahmaputra, which has risen beyond its danger level.

Government relief teams have been dropping food supplies to stranded villages but some families have said they fear starvation because relief has yet to reach them. - Telegraph.UK

Devastating floods are a regular occurrence in India and Pakistan while parts of the countries have droughts. Many areas, including the capital New Delhi have tight water restrictions. The municipal pipes release water only for a few hours each day.

Now while India has a great system of dams and canals, it is constantly beset, paradoxically, by the twin disasters flooding and drought. And the question always comes to mind why cant the excess waters be channelled into more reservoirs, or inland lakes to supply the whole country.

The excuse, of course, is money the lack of the billions of dollars the tens of crores of rupees that would be needed for such a huge project. And then another question comes up Why not retrieve the tens of crores that have been squirreled away overseas by

Indian politicians and others? The answer is corruption! I remember Indira Gandhi proclaiming years ago, that she was determined to root out corruption in India. She couldnt ! And today the cry to wipe out corruption is suddenly reverberating in the

cities of Bharat once more. People are fed up with the wholesale bribery that exists in the country. But tragically, there seems to be no political party that is able to deal with this great national evil.

Well, these are the Days of Noah!

Now the earth was corrupt in God's sight; the earth was full of violence. God saw how corrupt the earth had become; for all humanity on the earth had corrupted its ways. Then God said to Noah, 'The end of all people has now come before Me; for the earth is filled with violence because of them. Watch! I am about to destroy them along with the earth'. Make for yourself an ark of gopher wood (Genesis 6:11-14)

And Yshua the Messiah said the days leading up to His return would be like the days of Noah, and Lot. (Luke 17:26-30). And thats how it is today!

THE WORST MONSOON-RELATED FLOOD IN LIVING MEMORY In Pakistan, 20 million people were affected, and about 8 million acres of crops were wiped out by the rising waters that inundated around one-fifth of the country. The floods

during July-Sept. 2010, destroyed around one million houses, killed around 1,700 people, and injured 2500. Millions were left homeless and stranded. 3 million children were at risk of waterborne diseases.

The floods in Pakistan like all the other natural disasters are warnings from the Almighty of the endtime trial which is about to come upon the whole world, to try those who live on the earth. (Revelation 3:10). And yet, the world will not be destroyed by water as God promised to Noah ...

I establish My covenant with you; and never again will all life be cut off by the waters of a flood, and there will never again be a flood that will destroy the earth. And God said, This is the sign of the covenant which I am making between Me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all generations to come.

I set My rainbow in the clouds, and it will be a sign of a covenant between Me and the earth. It shall be, that when I bring a cloud over the earth, and the rainbow is seen in the cloud; I will remember My covenant, which is between Me and you and all living creatures of every kind; and never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life. (Genesis 9:11-15)

Some sceptics will ask, You dont really believe that God made the rainbow phenomenon as a specific sign, do you?

Yes I do! And yes, I do know the scientific explanation of the rainbow; that is:

A rainbow is an optical and meteorological phenomenon that is caused by reflection of light in water droplets in the Earth's atmosphere, resulting in a spectrum of light appearing in the sky.

But where do you think water droplets and light came from? A spectacular rainbow never ceases to create wonder, and it is not just a big beautiful, accidental, phenomenon!

Theres a whole lot more that can be written on the origin of the rainbow, but to come

back to our subject the Writing on the Wall. The rainbow is in fact, a writing in the sky! For while the Almighty has declared He will not destroy life on earth by flood, He also declared that the world will be ultimately destroyed by fire!

Scoffers, however, are legion. Many say, Oh nothing will happen! But the Word of God stands and endures forever. (Isaiah 40:8. 1 Peter 1:25). And this is what the great

apostle Peter says regarding scoffers, and regarding the Flood and the Fire:

In the last days scoffers will come, mocking and following after their own evil desires; and saying, Where is the promise of His coming? For ever since the fathers died, everything goes on just as it has since the beginning of creation. But they deliberately forget that long ago, by the Word of God, the heavens existed and the earth was formed out of water and by water. By these waters also

the world of that time was destroyed being flooded with water. By the same Word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.

But do not forget this one fact, beloved, that with the LORD one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. And the LORD is not slow concerning His promise, as some understand slowness, but is patient toward you,

not wanting anyone to perish, but for everyone to come to repentance.

But the Day of YHWH will come (unexpected) like a

thief in the night, in which the heavens will disappear with a roar; and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and its works will be burned up. (2 Peter 3:3-10)

That is the ultimate winding up of the earth and the present universe. But before that, as the prophet Malachi says:

"The day is coming, burning like a furnace; and all the arrogant and every evildoer will be chaff; and the day that is coming will set them ablaze, says YHWH of Hosts, so that it will leave them neither root nor branch. But for you who revere My Name, the Sun of Righteousness will rise with healing in His wings; and you will go forth and skip about like calves from the stall. (Malachi 4:1-2)

This day is the time of the 7-year period of Great Tribulation. It is the time when the nuclear bombs wipe out whole countries, and when God shakes the heavens and the earth.

Most of the writings on the wall today are warnings of the imminent Great Tribulation. Look at the current

CORRUPTION OF SOCIETIES

Now the earth was corrupt in Gods sight; the earth was full of violence. God saw how corrupt the earth had become; for all humanity on the earth had corrupted its ways. (Genesis 6:11-12)

THE SEXUAL REVOLUTION AND SLAVERY

80,000 CHILDREN ABDUCTED EACH YEAR IN THE UNITED STATES

A growing movement is seeking to mobilize a new army to combat the frightening abduction of thousands of children in the US who are subjected to sexual abuse and even slavery.

The 10th Preventing Abuse Conference convened on Oct 18, 2012, in Des Moines, Iowa, to inform, equip and organize people to be part of the solution to a rampant human trafficking problem made only worse in recent years by child pornography, an

increasingly sexualized culture, and the spread of drug cartels smuggling children across borders.

The numbers are staggering: According to the US Department of Justice, somewhere between 60,000 and 80,000 are abducted by non-family members each year.

Thats over 1,500 children per week getting kidnapped in the U.S., explained Tony Nassif, founder and president of the Preventing Abuse Conferences. And heres the

problem: A lot of the missing children get ensnared and drawn in by pimps within the first 48 hours. Put it together: The FBI says that child porn is the fastest growing form of pornography on the Internet. From where do you think they get the kids?

When youve got a government that is pushing to tear down sexual morality like embracing same-sex marriage and enforcing contraception mandates and encouraging recreational sex when any government or society or person pushes that, Nassif said,

they are contributing to the sexualization of the culture, which fuels the demand for human trafficking, child pornography and prostitution.

Nassif, says the Preventing Abuse Conference is for anyone, but its especially aimed at educating concerned parents, training police officials and, most especially, for mobilizing the church to get into the battle to rescue victims of the child-porn industry. The nation desperately needs more con-ferences like this, as the American society has continued to

throw away its sexual morals and embraced a culture of lust, two factors he says will only fuel the appetite for pedophilia.

Ill do anything and everything to get this word out, Nassif concluded. Too many childrens lives are at stake. Nine Preventing Abuse Conferences have been held around the

country. www.preventingabuse.org. /// www.wnd.com

NEW ZEALAND HAS OPENED A BIG BOX OF PROBLEMS In 2003, New Zealand decriminalized the sex trade. Brothels, escorts, street prostitution are all legal. And now in Christchurch, Councils have to manage brothels, and it is costing the city hundreds of thousands of dollars and it is not working. No-one wants to be employed for any enforcement duties connected with brothel compliance.

Street walkers fight for the best spots, and husbands are being solicited in their own driveways as they come home.

U.S.: FULL FRONTAL NUDITY ON TV, UP 6,300%

The Parents Television Council (PTC), a non-profit organization dedicated to educating parents about television content, has released a new study looking at nudity on prime-time broadcast television which reveals a major increase over the past year. - Fox News - August 2012

Today it seems like anything goes, everything goes. We have seen the collapse of morality, decency and chastity. (Oh! I had to check up with the dictionary to see if chastity is still a word in our vocabulary. It is. The Oxford dictionary says: CHASTITY: the state of not having sex with anyone, or only having sex with the person you are married to.

The Bibles prophecies forewarns us of how it will be in the endtimes. And we have arrived!

Evil men will go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. (2 Timothy 3:13). They are stains and blemishes, revelling in their own deceptions as they feast with you; having eyes full of adultery, and unable to cease from sin. They entice unstable souls, having hearts trained in greed. Accursed children, they have forsaken the right way, they have gone astray, following the way of Balaam who loved the wages of unrighteousness. (2 Peter 2:13-15)

VIOLENCE AND TERRORISM

Todays societies and their institutions are becoming increasingly corrupt and violent. Its like it was in the days of Noah.

Society, once generally conservative and restrained, is now permissive and godless. Long held Biblical principles are being rejected, morality is fast declining, and the tolerance of evil, and an intolerance of the Gospel of Christ, is rapidly increasing.

BRUTALITY AND INHUMANITY The apostle Paul also described conditions in the endtimes:

Realize this, that in the last days perilous times will come. For men will be lovers of self, (self-centered), lovers of money unholy brutal treacherous, reckless, conceited lovers of sensual pleasures rather than lovers of God; holding to a form of godliness (spiritual life), although they have denied its power. (2 Tim. 3:1-4)

Perilous times are here, filling mens hearts with fear!

Today is a time of shocking violence; this is the daily state of affairs. And its not only in Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Africa and Mexico. Its in the West also witness the Anders Behring Breivik massacre in Norway (July 2011) that left 92 people dead. Witness the number of cases of brutality, rape and murder in our cities. Witness the

regularity of shooting rampages in the US where it has become so bad that Americans in record numbers are buying guns to protect themselves ...

GUN & AMMO SALES IN U.S. SURGING TO RECORD HIGH LEVELS

OCT 1/12. Joel C Rosenberg reports:

Americans are buying guns at previously unheard of rates. People who had never even considered owning a weapon before, are now eager to get armed and to stockpile ammo. Here are some recent headlines.

* Gun sales explode as election looms (March 22, 2012)

* U.S. gun sales up after theatre shooting (July 25, 2012)

* Record Gun Sales (Aug. 21, 2012)

Why are gun and ammunition sales surging?" Do people fear this country is going to implode? Do they fear a wave of criminal violence? Are they anticipating a civil war? What exactly is motivating this record surge in firearms? The core reason, I believe, is that Americans are growing scared. They know our country is in serious trouble. But they fear things could completely spin out of control.

I hear Americans worrying that our country is so far off track morally, spiritually and economically that people aren't sure we can actually get back on the right track. More and more Americans fear the ice is cracking under their feet. They're worried we're not just in a period of decline, but that America might actually collapse. With that collapse

there could be chaos. I'm not saying it will. I'm saying people fear it will.

ALARMING MURDER RATE IN INDIA In 2011 there were 34,305 murders across India. Thats an average of 93 murders every day.

POVERTY AND INJUSTICE

INDIA'S DESPERATE LABOURERS MARCH FOR JUSTICE

OCT 12/12. India's embattled government has appealed to 50,000 landless poor to end their march on Delhi.

The desperate farm labourers and dalits from all parts of India had marched for nine days from Gwalior in central India to reach the outskirts of Agra. The next stage of their march will take them to New Delhi where they will wage a show of force. All the protestors, driven by poverty, carried green and white peace march flags, demanding their right to tilling land and housing.

Conditions in the rural areas are increasingly bleak. Poor people are getting more and more marginalised as their land and resources are taken away.

More than 200,000 farmers have committed suicide.

Women labour all day, every day, on other people's farms and in return receive only a few kilograms of wheat as payment.

The 4-km-long protest line contains desperate people keen to tell their stories. A 65-year-old man says this march is his last chance for survival. He has no house, no land and no means of supporting himself. He struggles to find work as a daily farm labourer as he is considered too old. "If I didn't have these difficulties, you wouldn't find me here," he says. "But if the government doesn't give me land, then I might as well hang myself."

The Rural Development Minister has presented a compromise plan to introduce land reform by early next year. But whether those reforms will deliver relief to a hugely desperate part of the Indian fabric remains to be seen. Source: www.theaustralian.com.au

The above is just one example of the injustice of the present times. It is just as it was prophesied.

See, the wages of the labourers who reaped your fields, and which have been withheld by you cries out against you; and the cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of YHWH of Hosts. ... You have condemned and murdered the righteous who were not resisting you. (James 5:4-6)

MANKIND IS LOSING ITS NATURAL AFFECTION

But realize this, that in the last days perilous times will come. For men will be lovers of self without natural affection, (inhuman) without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, treacherous (2 Timothy 3:1-4)

Brutality is certainly not new. It has always been an inherent trend of man since Cain killed his brother Abel. It has been the hallmark of kings and dictators. We have seen it in the past year in Syria where even young children have been tortured and killed.

We regularly receive reports of inhumanity. And it is not only committed by men; its women also, like the case of a woman in Japan who got fed up and threw her toddler from the 15th story apartment balcony. And an Iraqi-born woman in UK who hurled her newborn baby girl down a 50ft rubbish chute. And newborn babies dumped into rubbish bins.

And increasingly brutality is committed by children also. Like the case in Wisconsin US, where two 13-year-old boys used a hatchet and hammer to kill one of the boys great-grandmother while stealing jewelry and a car from her home.

There are cases of young hoodlums raping 80-year-old ladies. And toddlers being raped and murdered. And then theres the wholesale ...

SLAUGHTER OF THE INNOCENTS the killing of millions of babies around the world every year. Is this not without natural affection, brutality and inhumanity ?

Peter Jensen, the Anglican archbishop in Sydney, recently decried the rate of abortion in Australia, and said: What sort of society is it that kills 100,000 children in the womb each year? - The Australian Oct 9/12.

And I ask, is the Ruler of the Universe, supposed to overlook all this inhumanity? Or has He also become complicit and corrupt? In no way!

Remember how Pharaoh slaughtered the Jewish baby boys; and how Herod did likewise; and also how Hitler consigned thousands of babies and toddlers to the gas chambers. And how they were judged!

And now our leaders and judges consign millions of precious little lives to death before they can even cry!

God says: Do not kill the innocent or the righteous, for I will not acquit the guilty. (Exodus 23:7)

Abortion is one of the most critical issues of these times. There is a virtual war going on in many nations about what has been called by James Franklin,

The Mother of All Questionable Choices

in the Weekend Australian, Oct-13-14, 2012.

Franklin exposes the basis of the ethics of a decorated philosopher who asserts that

babies up to about the age of four weeks have no right to life. The philosopher was not dealing with the problem of severely deformed babies, but is speaking of normal babies.

The basis of the philosophers ethics is very simple: What is right is what maximises the satisfaction of preferences (or interests). All interests are equal. He talks about a basic

principle of equality: the principle of equal consideration of interests."

If I understand it correctly, the philosophers ethics means all interests are, or could be,

equally valid and acceptable. If someones interest is to kill a baby in the womb, or even a new born baby, then it is acceptable. Then if a mans interest is to rob a bank that also is acceptable. Could we not say then that Adolph Hitlers interest to rid the world of Jews was also acceptable?

Early this year, the Journal of Medical Ethics published a paper by two Melbourne

philosophers defending "after-birth abortion." They wrote: "What we call 'after-birth abortion' (killing a newborn)," they argue, "should be permissible in all the cases

where abortion is, including cases where the newborn is not disabled."

THE WRITING IS ON THE WALL!

I will replay, says the LORD. (Romans 12:19) Raimond Gaita, Australia's pre-eminent moral philosopher holds that the act of

discussing seriously the permissibility of infanticide is itself corrupt. Well said!

God says: For My eyes are on all their ways; they are not hidden from My Face, nor is their iniquity concealed from My eyes. But first I will repay them double for their wickedness and their sin, because they have defiled My land with the carcasses of their detestable practices and their abominations. (Jeremiah 16:17-18)

Abortion and killing of babies is not wrong because I say so; or a million Christians say

so. It is wrong because GOD SAYS SO!

Think about it! An evil is not made right because a government or judge decrees it is legal! We all know that governments make some very bad laws laws that are against Gods decrees; laws against long held righteous principles. And we all know that politicians so often make laws simply to gain votes, and to appease social mores.

If North Korea decrees that anyone found in possession of a Bible must be executed, is it right because the government decreed it?

Is it right if the Saudi government says no two Christians can assemble for the purpose of Bible study? Is it right when the American government says, no public prayers can mention the Name of Jesus?

If a government says sex-slavery is legal, is it so? Is it right for a government to decree that children must be taught that evolution as a proven scientific fact? Is it right for governments to decree in favour of that which God condemns?

I like what Hal Lindsey has said (at the end of the article 1,500 pastors below):

As Americans, we believe that freedom of speech is a sacred right. The Declaration of Independence is clear and specific in acknowledging that our inalienable rights do not

come from government. It deliberately says that our rights come from God and so they are beyond the reach of government.

POLITICAL AND SOCIAL TURMOIL

Today the nations are in political turmoil!

Many parliaments around the world are toxic, and motivated by filthy gain, spin, and power-mongering, rather than truth and wisdom and sound policies. Civility has been abandoned and politicians tear each other apart with venom, self-justification and hypocrisy.

What remains is a grasping for solutions to the escalating problems. And true statesmen are very hard to find these days. There are, of course, potentially great statesmen available, but they are too good to be elected!

Today the people in many countries are restive, dissatisfied, angry and rebellious. Unemployment and the gloomy prospects of surviving, have led to massive protests in many cities, which have often turned violent. People want change, but not deception!

They want the basic means of living, but not impoverishment imposed on them by inept or corrupt officials.

Because of the global financial conditions, and unsustainable debt loads that have accrued through ill-advised policies and schemes, or foolhardiness, opportunism and corruption, political and economic leaders are now compelled to resort to very unpopular austerity measures the deep cutting of spending, wages, and benefits, and increased taxation.

In the Middle East there is a longing for greater freedom, but the ensuing revolutions are producing new dictatorships and collapsing economies.

Some of the most recent publicized examples of this treacherous turmoil, are in Greece and Spain; but in the long list of countries that are in upheaval, France, Portugal, Russia, Egypt, most of Africa, Iran, India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, the US, and much of Latin America could be included.

It seems like the whole world is going mad! But this is not an entirely new phenomenon. The prophet Jeremiah long ago declared:

Babylon has been a golden cup in the hand of YHWH, intoxicating all the earth. The nations have drunk of her wine. Therefore the nations are going mad. (Jeremiah 51:7)

Babylon is a city built on the ruins of Babel in Iraq. Babylon is a Scriptural symbol which means confusion, and it represents a system of all that is opposed to Yahweh

the Almighty God political, commercial and religious. And it is true, Babylon intoxicates the world.

The commerce, the politics and religions of the world, including much of the Christian

religion are under the spell of the golden cup of Mystery Babylon.

(More about this below.)

THE WAR AGAINST THE WORD OF GOD

AND DIVINE PRINCIPLES

Why do the nations rage, and the people devise a vain thing? The kings of the earth take their stand, and the rulers take counsel together against YHWH and against His Anointed - His Messiah: 'Let us break Their chains,' they say, 'and throw off Their fetters!' He who is seated in the heavens laughs. The LORD scoffs at them. Then He rebukes them in His anger and terrifies them in His fury. (Psalm 2:1-5)

Throughout the world there is a concerted agenda to destroy the Word of God. And that includes a program to silence the proclaiming of the Biblical truth, not only in the streets, and schools, but also in the Christian pulpits. But many are rising up saying, Enough is enough. It is spiritual warfare. This is happening this very month. (Oct 2012).

1,500 PASTORS IN AMERICA DEFY THE US GOVERNMENT Source: The Hal Lindsay Report.

On Sunday, Oct. 7, more than 1,500 pastors defied the Internal Revenue Service, which is an arm of the US government.

No embassy walls were toppled or flags torn down and burned. No property was damaged and no one was wounded or killed. No troops were called up to restore order.

Yet these pastors openly defied the government, or more specifically, they defied an obscure and flawed amendment added to the federal tax code in 1954.

This amendment that was promoted by, and named after Senator Lyndon B. Johnson, declares that an organization that holds tax-exempt status "may not participate or intervene in any political campaign on behalf of, or in opposition to any candidate for public office."

Since then, atheist organizations and Left-leaning politicians have used the Johnson amendment to intimidate churches, pastors, and ministries into silence on moral and cultural issues that might have any remotely political connection.

In recent years, the atheist group "Americans United for Separation of Church and State" has sent thousands of letters to churches warning them against engaging in "partisan politicking."

For six decades this has been the Left's most reliable weapon to silence the leaders of an estimated 350,000 congregations on vital moral, cultural, financial, spiritual, and social issues that might be decided at the ballot box.

So this year more than 1,500 pastors, who firmly believe that it should be the pastor who determines what is preached from the pulpit, not the IRS, participated in the third

"Pulpit Freedom Sunday." They preached sermons that dealt directly with issues that will be determined in the next election. They also named candidates, discussed their views on these issues, and made specific recommendations to their congregations about who they should vote for in order to uphold the values of the Bible, the church, and most Americans.

The pastors videotaped or made audio recordings of their messages, and sent them directly to the Internal Revenue Service. (This relieved the enemies of the church of the need to send 'spies' to the church to make clandestine recordings and then write letters of complaint to the IRS.)

The goal of "Alliance Defending Freedom," the organizers of "Pulpit Freedom Sunday," is to force the hand of the IRS and to make it enforce the Johnson Amendment. That will then allow them to bring the case to court and let the courts decide if it is constitutional.

Hal Lindsey says: "Pulpit Freedom Sunday" is so important: As Americans, we believe that freedom of speech is a sacred right. The Declaration of Independence is clear and specific in acknowledging that our inalienable rights do not come from government. It

deliberately says that our rights come from God and so they are beyond the reach of government. http://www.hallindsey.com/

PERSECUTION WORLDWIDE

They will lay their hands on you and persecute you, handing you over to the synagogues and prisons, and bringing you before kings and governors for My Name's sake. It will provide an opportunity for you to witness . And you will be betrayed even by parents and brothers, relatives and friends; and they will put some of you to death. You will be hated by all on account of My Name, yet not a hair of your head will perish. (Luke 21:13, 16-18) Do not fear those who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul; but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. (Matthew 10:28)

In the 20th and 21st centuries there has been increasing persecution of the followers of Christ around the world. More Christians have been killed for their faith in this period

than in the whole of the Christian era. Every day Christians are dying because of their faith in Jesus the Messiah.

In North Korea, 70,000 Christians are locked away permanently in virtual concentration camps.

In NEPAL, an article in a proposed new constitution would make the change of religion an offence, and anyone who simply influences a person to change religion could be sentenced to five years in jail.

Headlines like these are appearing almost every day .

ANTI-FAITH SENTIMENT SWEEPS U. S. In his 2008 campaign speeches, President Barack Obama declared: Nobody should be concerned with a few obscure Bible verses. During his role of president, Obama seems to have rejected not just a few obscure verses, but the whole counsel of the Word of God.

SEPT 25/12. Could you imagine going to jail for your faith? In China yes! In Iran yes! In Eritrea yes! In North Korea yes, yes! In Pakistan yes! In Egypt, Nigeria, Indonesia, yes! In India yes!

And in a lot of other countries yes! But in the US, Australia, UK, or Canada ??

A recent report warns that it could happen, and is already happening, in the United States. CBN News investigated the growing wave of hostility to Christianity in America that's led to hundreds of court cases.

Angela Hildenbrand faced the very real possibility of going to jail for her faith. The trouble began when a federal judge ruled that no one at her Texas high school could pray or even use words like "prayer" or "amen" during the 2011 graduation ceremonies.

As a class valedictorian, Hildenbrand felt God deserved the praise, even if it meant jail for her. "I was definitely preparing myself to have to make that sort of tough decision and mentally prepare myself for what well could be coming next," she told CBN News.

Hildenbrand's case is just one of more than 640 cases of religious hostility cited in a new report by the Liberty Institute. General Counsel Jeff Mateer, who takes on many of these cases, helped put the survey together.

"The atheists and the secularists are well-organized and they're well-funded," the Liberty Institute attorney told CBN News. "The rate of hostility to people of faith is overwhelming," he said. "It's increasing. Every day, we're getting calls."

Jeff Mateer says the good news is, when believers fight back, they usually win. "You need to stand up and fight," he said. "And that's exactly what Angela did.

FRANCE TO BAN THE WORDS 'MOTHER' AND 'FATHER' FROM OFFICIAL DOCUMENTS

SEPT 24/12. France is set to ban the words "mother" and "father" from all official documents under controversial plans to legalise gay marriage.

The move, which has outraged Catholics, means only the word "parents" would be used in identical marriage ceremonies for all heterosexual and same-sex couples. The draft law states that "marriage is a union of two people, of different or the same gender.

It says all references to "mothers and fathers" in the civil code - which enshrines French law - will be swapped for simply "parents". The law would also give equal adoption rights to homosexual and heterosexual couples.

President Francois Hollande pledged in his manifesto to legalise same-sex marriage. The draft law will be presented to his cabinet for approval on October 31. - telegraph.co.uk/

THE ECONOMIC MELTDOWN

THE INDEBTEDNESS OF THE NATIONS

Come now, you rich, weep and wail because of the miseries that are coming upon you. Your wealth has become rotten, and your garments are moth-eaten. Your gold and silver have corroded, and their corrosion will testify against you and will consume your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the Last Days! (James 5:1-3)

EUROPES DEBT DRAMA Central banks are frantically pumping in money as banks struggle to survive. Markets fear that financial contagion is about to spread in ways that are unpredictable and unprecedented. - The Weekend Australian Sept 17-18/2011

EURO NATIONS IN DEEP DISTRESS France is in favour of giving Greece more time to meet bailout conditions, provided it is "sincere" on implementing reforms, says the French Prime Minister.

Speculation about Greece's future in the eurozone continues. Swiss banking giant UBS has estimated a 50% likelihood that Greece will leave the eurozone next year. And it is possible that other euro countries may follow.

Portugal ran into trouble recently over a contested austerity measure thats linked to its 78 billion bailout. One million people took to the streets and the government coalition almost collapsed over the issue.

Portugal has unveiled across-the-board tax hikes in a bid to meet deficit targets required under its bailout deal.

Spain is reportedly negotiating a second bailout after having already secured 100 billion in June for its banking sector.

French President Francois Hollande faced his first serious public backlash after some 50,000 lined the streets of Paris on Sept 30, in protest against his 37 billion austerity budget.

Cyprus is reportedly seeking a 11.5 billion credit line from member states using the euro to help bailout its troubled banks and close its budget gaps.

EUROPEAN DEBT CRISIS DRAGGING DOWN WORLD ECONOMY

SEPT 6/12. The European debt crisis is pushing the continent into recession and dragging down the global economy, according to a forecast released by the Organi-sation for Economic Cooperation and Development.

Europe's problems are harming US growth, and economic conditions worldwide, and will continue to push unemployment higher, the OECD said.

EURO ZONE TO BOOST BAILOUT FUND TO 2 TRILLION EUROS

SEPT 23/12. Euro zone states are preparing to allow the bloc's permanent bailout fund to reach a capacity of more than 2 trillion euros so it can rescue big countries if necessary.

NEW EU FINANCIAL PACT closer fiscal union. This was a treaty designed to stop overspending in the 17 countries that use the euro. It will require governments to keep their budget deficits to an average of 0.5% of GDP over the economic cycle - and to limit total government debt to 60% of GDP.

THE BANKRUPTCY OF THE UNITED STATES SUPERPOWER! - SUPER-DEBTOR!

AUG 2012. The U.S. government debt has passed

$16 trillion dollars ($16,000,000,000,000).

The debt is estimated to reach at least $22 trillion by 2022.

THE 50 STATES OF THE U.S. ARE SWAMPED IN DEBT

Not only the federal government -

America's 50 states are

Collectively, over $4 trillion in debt.

ON THE BRINK OF THE GREATEST

DEPRESSION OF ALL TIME!

By Wayne Allyn Root / Aug 23, 2012

Everywhere from FoxNews to CNBC, I suddenly see commentators warning of

pending doom, economic collapse, and a new Great Depression.

This time we are in such deep trouble. This time the results are going to be dramatically

worse than 1929. The economy is crumbling. The situation is becoming more hopeless by the hour. The more government gets involved, the worse it gets. Coincidence?

Wayne presents many alarming facts about the US, and concludes: If changes don't come then we are facing a long decline and the eventual end of America. / FoxNews.com /

PERFECT STORM OF RISKS FOR GLOBAL ECONOMY SEPT 9/12. Experts and leaders gathered in Italy may disagree on the cure, but the malady seems clear: the world economy faces a perfect storm of risks that include prolonged crisis in a structurally flawed Europe, political paralysis pushing America off a fiscal cliff, a slowdown in the emerging economies drying up the last of global growth, and the spectacularly destabilizing prospect of war over Irans nuclear program.

-financialpost-com

MASSIVE STIMULUS NEEDED Renowned Economist Nouriel Roubini has warned that without "massive stimulus" by the governments of the western world, we are going to see a major financial collapse and we will find ourselves plunging into a depression .... In the short term, we need to do

massive stimulus; otherwise, there's going to be another Great Depression.

Roubini predicts years of gloom ahead, almost regardless of what is decided.

Massive stimulus means pumping huge amounts of cash into the economy, which also goes under the fanciful name of

QUANTITATIVE EASING Central banks usually strengthen the economy through lowering interest rates. That makes it cheaper for banks to borrow money, so that stimulus generally flows through the entire economy.

When times are dire, central banks turn to "quantitative easing" (QE) - creating money by unorthodox methods of pumping money into an economy. The most usual approach is large-scale purchases of debt. The effect is the same as printing money in vast quantities, but without ever turning on the printing presses. The Fed buys government or other bonds and writes down that it has done so thats called "expanding the balance sheet."

The bank then makes that money available for banks to borrow, thereby expanding the amount of money sloshing around the economy, with the hope that it will reduce long-term interest rates. There have been two QEs in the last few years. But now, behold! A QE3!

QE3: AN ALL-OUT ATTACK ON THE US DOLLAR SEPT 2012. The US Federal Reserve announced that QE3 is going to be much different

from QE1 and QE2. Both of those rounds of Quantitative Easing were of limited duration.

This time, the quantitative easing is going to be open-ended. The Fed is going to buy 40 billion dollars' worth of mortgage-backed securities every month until they have decided that the economy is in good enough shape to stop.

For those that get confused by terms like "quantitative easing" and "mortgage-backed securities," what the Federal Reserve is essentially saying is this: "We're going to print a whole lot of money and buy stuff for as long as we feel it is necessary."

The course that the Federal Reserve has set us on is utter insanity. Ben Bernanke can rain money down on us all he wants, but it is not going to do much at all to help the real economy. However, it will definitely hasten the destruction of the U.S. dollar.

AN INCREDIBLE ADMISSION NO CHANCE OF DEFAULT, US CAN PRINT MONEY

AUG 7/11. Former Federal Reserve Chairman, Alan Greenspan, ruled out the chance of a US default following the downgrading of America's credit rating. "The United States can pay any debt it has because we can always print money to do that. So there is zero probability of default," he said.

JAPANS STAGGERING DEBT Japans triple whammy last year had a tremendous impact on the nations economy, especially as Japan has a staggering national debt problem, which

is more than 220% of the GDP.

Japans debt load has the nation in a death grip. Economists predict its national debt will

balloon out to 250% of its GDP by 2015. The national debt stands at 985.4 trillion yen ($12.7 trillion) for the year ending March 2012. In about three months, the debt will reach the one quadrillion yen mark.

Japan uses over 60% of its entire tax revenues to pay the interest on their national debt - and that with an interest rate of only .05%.

CHINA'S "SECRET" CREDIT CRISIS FEB 6/12. If Europe's debt crisis tips the world economy into a recession this year, China's annual economic growth could be cut nearly in half. The International Monetary Fund said this situation would put pressure on Beijing to unveil "significant" fiscal stimulus.

SEPT 30/11. Australia's commodity-dependent economy is under threat from a sharp collapse in demand from China which is grappling with a ballooning debt crisis and wavering property bubble. China's relentless economic growth, which has averaged 10% for much of the past decade, has been predicted to halve to just 5% by 2016.

Many economists are now worried that China's economy is under increasing threat of a slowdown because of a ballooning credit bubble that has doubled in size from 100% of GDP three years ago, to 200% of GDP today.

After warning of the endtime financial crash, the apostle James encourages believers:

Be patient, therefore, brethren, until the coming of the Master. See how the farmer waits expectantly for the precious 'fruit of the earth,' waiting patiently until the land receives the early and late rains. You too be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Master is near. (James 5:7-8)

A NEW WORLD ORDER

The solution to the worlds economic, religious and political problems, many world leaders believe, is the creation of a New

World Order. And the three pillars of the NWO are a one-world money system, a one-world religion, and a one-world government. It has become very evident that the nations are making great strides to fulfil this grandiose goal.

First the

COMING GLOBAL MONEY SYSTEM

Amidst all the worldwide economic recessions and chaos, there are growing calls from around the world for an international financial and banking system something much greater than the current World Bank and International Monetary Fund.

420 TOP BANKS DEMAND ONE-WORLD CURRENCY OCT 11/10. International finance group seeks a remedy to looming exchange wars. The Institute of International Finance, a group that represents 420 of the world's largest banks and finance houses, has issued yet another call for a one-world global currency. - www.wnd.com

And now the call comes from the top

UN CALLS FOR WORLD CURRENCY After strong criticism of the US dollar from world leaders, the UN added another

scathing report calling for a new international reserve currency to be issued by the Inter-national Monetary Fund.

The ultimate solution to our bankrupt economic systems, is a one world monetary system. And this is the first of the three pillars to hold up the New World Order.

THE CURRENCY ENVISIONED A metal, paper or plastic currency is evidently not what is ahead. Increasingly coins and paper currency is being eliminated, as digital/electronic money becomes the norm.

Look at this report

RETINAL SCANS FOR BANKING OCT 2012. ANZ has unveiled research which showed a majority of people would be comfortable with biometric identification, using retina or fingerprint scanning technology at ATMs instead of PIN numbers, because it combines convenience with security."

The release of the survey coincided with ANZ unveiling plans to invest $1.5 billion over the next five years in new technologies, including the rollout of 800 "next generation" automatic teller machines and installing video-conferencing in regional branches.

The report suggests the new technology could replace cash entirely. Cash and coins could be on the way out and it's realistic to imagine a world in which we do not carry notes or coins, or even credit or debit cards. We may simply use our fingerprints or even retina scans to make payments. - http://www.frasercoastchronicle.com

THE DEVELOPIING CONFEDERATE RELIGION

The Bible foretells and warns of a great religious monstrosity called Mystery Babylon. She is an amalgamation of the worlds religions, and is pictured in the Book of Revelation as a hideous harlot.

"Come, I shall show you the judgment of the great harlot who is sitting upon many waters, with whom the kings of the earth committed fornication; indeed those living

who dwell on the earth were made drunk with the wine of her immorality. Then he carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness. There I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was full of blasphemous names and had seven heads and ten

horns.

And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and glittered with gold, precious stones and pearls; and in her hand she had a golden cup full of

abominable, repulsive things and the filth of her immorality; and on her forehead there was inscribed a name with a mysterious meaning, BABYLON THE

GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

I saw that the woman was drunk with the blood of the set-apart people of God, and with the blood of the witnesses of Y'shua. (Revelation 17:1-6)

The heads of the Beast represent the seven historical Biblical empires that have supported Babylonianism from the time of the Tower of Babel.

For the last one hundred years or more, an ecumenical (religious unity) movement has been working diligently to establish a united global religious entity. The will to unite all faiths into a confederate religion is now stronger than ever.

A multitude of organisations, big and small, have been formed, and many multi-cultural forums held with what is considered an essential and desirable goal a one-world religion. "Why should we fight in the Name of God," is one of their slogans. "Tolerance, mutual respect, peace, and unity" are key ecumenical words.

THE WORLD COUNCIL OF CHURCHES

was founded in 1948, and is a worldwide fellowship of 349 churches seeking unity, a common witness, and Christian service.

One of their latest gatherings was in Brazil

AN ECUMENICAL CONFERENCE TO DISCUSS WORLD FINANCE AND ECONOMY

From 29 Sept to 5 Oct., an ecumenical conference organized by the World Communion of Reformed Churches (WCRC), with the World Council of Churches (WCC) and the Council for World Mission (CWM), was held in Brazil to discuss the framework and criteria for a new international financial and economic architecture, based on economic, social, climate and ecological justice.

While the World Council of Churches was initially, an amalgam of non-Catholic churches, the WCC has increasingly affiliated with the Roman Catholic Church, as well as various multi-religious organisations including -

THE PARLIAMENT OF WORLD RELIGIONS The first PWR was held in 1893. The second was in 1993, and since then every few years. The next is coming up in 2014.

THE UNITED RELIGIONS INITIATIVE URI had its beginnings in 1997. In 2001 it became an official Non-Government organization affiliated with the UN.

OTHER INTERFAITH INITIATIVES A new interfaith initiative has been launched by former British Prime Minister. The

Tony Blair Faith Foundation has a 3-fold goal - to promote faith as a force of good, to improve knowledge between religions, and to tackle poverty and war.

Another initiative was launched by King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia in Spain - a World Conference on Dialogue. The king exhorted followers of the worlds leading faiths to turn away from extremism and embrace a spirit of reconciliation.

In Oct 2002, a 2-day conference in Kazakhstan, chaired by President Nazarbayev, witnessed leaders of 18 religions agreeing to meet regularly under

the banner, Congress of World Traditional Religions.

THE BEAUTY AND THE BEAST

Mystery Babylon, being associated with the Antichrist regime, will have tremendous power in the endtime. In Revelation 17 she is seen riding on the beast. But in the middle of the Tribulation the 10 kings of the political Beast confederation will turn against the woman and destroy her. This will be the time of judgment for this corrupt false religion.

The ten horns which you saw, along with the beast, will hate the harlot. They will bring her to ruin and leave her naked; they will eat her flesh and will burn her up with fire, for God has put it into their hearts to execute His purpose by having a common purpose, and by surrendering their sovereignty to the beast, until the words of God are fulfilled. (Revelation 17:16-17)

With Mystery Babylon destroyed, the Antichrist will then be in full control. His only opposition will be a large community of Yshuan believers (both Jews and Gentiles) in Israel and around the world But once the world government is established, the Antichrist will launch his plan to eliminate everyone who will not fall down and worship him.

Here is a message to both present and future followers of Yshua the Messiah.

Then I heard another voice from heaven say, Come out of her (Babylon), My people, so that you will not participate in her sins, and receive of her plagues; for her sins have piled up as high as heaven, and God has remembered her depravity and crimes. (Rev. 18:4-5)

THE AGENDA FOR A

ONE-WORLD GOVERNMENT

The United Nations is known as a corrupt and most Dis-united Monstrosity not necessarily through its own choosing or lack of a founding agenda, but through the conspiracies of men and demons Satan in particular. The Bible long ago warned of the Mystery of Iniquity.

The mystery of iniquity and lawlessness is already at work; but He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed whom the Lord will slay with the breath of His mouth and bring to an end by the glory of His coming; that is, the one whose coming is in accord with the activity of Satan, with great power and with all kinds of signs and counterfeit miracles, and with all the deception of wickedness among those who are perishing, because they would not receive the love of the truth which could have saved them. And for this reason, God will send upon them a powerful delusion so that they will believe what is false, in order that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth, but took pleasure in wickedness. (2 Thessalonians 2:7-12)

The idea of world government is not new. It was there at the Tower of Babel. It was there in the empires of Nebuchadnezzar, and Alexander. It was in the mind of Adolph Hitler, and in the protocols of the Marxist movement.

A few decades ago, international banker, James Warburg declared in unmistakable terms:

We will have world government whether you like it or not; by consent or by conquest.

Dr Paul-Henri Spaak, a former secretary-general of NATO, and the first president of the UN General Assembly, declared:

We do not want another committee; we have too many already. What we want is a man of sufficient stature to hold the allegiance of all the people and to lift us up out of the economic morass into which we are sinking. Send us such a man, and whether he be God or devil, we will receive him.

In 1919, after World War One, a large group of nations wanted to form a World

Government. They settled on The League of Nations. After World War 2 they decided on a new organisation, the United Nations, to prepare the way for an eventual World Government. After World War 3, when the nations are in ruins, a New World Order

a World Government - will be established with headquarters in Jerusalem.

What! Jerusalem? Yes, for Jerusalem is at the centre of the earth (Ezekiel 38:12), and as it is Gods chosen city, it will be coveted by Satan who will install his son, the Antichrist, as world dictator. Antichrist will claim to be God and Messiah, and thus the rightful ruler in the City of God.

It is not surprising that the Vatican (Rome), which is a dominant player in Mystery Babylon, is also promoting world government.

THE VATICAN ADVOCATES A ONE WORLD AUTHORITY

OCT 24/11. In a note on the financial crisis and economic justice, Vatican officials

accidently called for the establishment of a One World Global "Authority" to regulate financial markets and national governments.

After gently noting that such a project is "a complex and delicate process," the document

begins to capitalize the word "Authority" in the most unsettling, conspiracy-launching way possible:

A supranational Authority of this kind should have a realistic structure and be set up gradually. It should be favourable to the existence of efficient and effective monetary and financial systems; that is, free and stable markets overseen by a suitable legal framework, well-functioning in support of sustainable development and social progress of all, and inspired by the values of charity and truth. It is a matter of an Authority with a global reach that cannot be imposed by force, coercion or violence, but should be the outcome of a free and shared agreement and a reflection of the permanent and historic needs of the world common good.

The document was issued by the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace, an office in the Vatican that is usually satisfied with issuing vague statements on social issues.

We live in a globalized world where international financial markets, politics and economies are tightly intertwined, and European financial instabilities today will very likely play a key role in the emergence of the next world order.

The fact remains, the only world government that will truly succeed will be the Reign of the Messiah Yshua. Of the Messiah, the prophet Isaiah wrote:

The government will rest upon His shoulders. His Name will be called Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. There will be no end to the increase of His government and of peace. He will reign on the throne of David and over His kingdom, to establish and uphold it with justice and righteousness from that time on and for ever. The zeal of YHWH of Hosts will accomplish this. (Isaiah 9:6-7)

ARCHBISHOP TELLS THE UNITED NATIONS, "WE NEED WORLD GOVERNMENT"

Vaticans Chief Foreign-Policy official, Archbishop Dominique Mamberti told the United Nations General Assembly that he is "disappointed" there is no world government yet!

The archbishop praised the UNs work for world peace but felt the structure was

lacking, stating the organisation deprived of the force of unity and persuasive power that it could legitimately have because of the lack of a clear international accord on basic moral principles, such as those that were set forth earlier in fundamental international agreements on human rights.

How is it, the archbishop questioned, that in spite of universal acceptance of the UN

charter and fundamental treaties, we cannot establish a real and equitable system of world government?

After the murder of the US ambassador Christopher Stevens, (in Libya on Sept 11, 2012), Roman Catholic Bishop Giovanni Martinelli, the apostolic vicar of Tripoli, told Vatican Insider that Western countries should have the courage to ban all

blasphemous projects and establish a policy that is respectful of religion. - Source: catholicculture.org, / 05 Oct. 2012

Here are some pointers to the emerging world religion that will be implemented into the fast approaching world government. No one will be able to insult Islam or Roman

Catholicism or other world religions. Freedom of speech will be quelled because the true Gospel will be called hate speech.

Can anyone see here the woman riding the beast? (Revelation 17)

OUR RUNAWAY TECHNOLOGY

But you, Daniel, conceal these words and seal the scroll until the time of the end; many will run back and forth, and knowledge will increase. (Daniel 12:4)

This prophecy goes way beyond what Daniel could even have imagined. We now understand what running back and forth can mean. Just look at our motorways! Our speedways! And our aircraft traffic!

And knowledge increasing! Education has increased, and more people know more than ever before. And it is know-how that has fuelled the technological advance. With each advance there has been new and greater breakthroughs, and technology is simply

running away. Last century the gramophone was a wonderful musical box.

In 1877 the first phonograph was invented by Thomas Edison. In 1892 Berliner began commercial production of his disc records, and "gramophones" or "talking-machines." Today we have to teach our young generation what a gramophone was. Now in our CD era, most of them have never heard or seen a record player.

Communication has increased tremendously, with radio, TV, computers, satellite dishes and the worldwide web. Now two billion people all around the world can watch an advertised event a royal wedding, a sports event, a political debate, or the launch of a spacecraft heading for mars. Medical advances and laser beams and the ability to perform incredibly complex body transplants have also been quite amazing.

But the technological advances can also be very alarming. Take for instance, the awesome ability of governments, or other invested interests, to collect and store mountains of information, and to monitor a persons movements by remote control. And take our Global Positioning technology. And Radio Frequency Identification.

In the Great Tribulation, when he rules the world, Antichrist will know everything about everyone. And we are getting close to that type of regime already!

BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU!

AMERICA IS BEING TRANSFORMED INTO A GIANT SURVEILLANCE GRID

An alarming article from the United States (Sept 2012) says: Our country is being systematically transformed into a giant surveillance grid far more comprehensive than anything George Orwell ever dreamed of. A rapidly growing nationwide network of facial recognition cameras, "pre-crime" surveillance devices, voice recorders, mobile backscatter vans, aerial drones and automated license plate readers are constantly feeding data about us back to the government.

In addition, private companies involved in "data mining" are gathering literally trillions upon trillions of data points about individual Americans each year. So there is no escape from this surveillance grid. In fact, it has become just about impossible to keep it from growing.

The article lists 19 ways in which the US is being systematically transformed into a giant surveillance grid. Cell phones, monitoring of social media including Twitter, RFID microchips, Spyware, and spy cams, rapid DNA testing, biometric identification technologies are all part of the spying network.

Shocking new details have emerged recently which prove that a creepy nationwide network of spy cameras is being rolled out across the United States. "You are being watched. The government has a secret system - a machine - that spies on you every hour of every day."

Its all part of the rapid build-up for the brutal, dictatorial reign of the Beast the Antichrist the Man of Sin, the Son of Destruction, and His accomplice, the False Prophet.

He (the False Prophet) was given power to give breath to the image of the Beast (Antichrist), so that it could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image of the Beast to be killed. He compels all, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands, or on their foreheads, so that no one should be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of his name ... and his number is 666. (Revelation 13:15-18)

FBI BEGINS $1 BILLION FACE RECOGNITION SYSTEM ACROSS AMERICA

SEPT 10/12. The Federal Bureau of Investigation has reached a milestone in the development of their Next Generation Identification (NGI) program and is now implementing the intelligence database in unidentified locales across the country, according to the New Scientist.

The FBI first outlined the project back in 2005, explaining to the Justice Department in an August 2006 document that their new system will eventually serve as an upgrade to the current Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System (IAFIS) that keeps track of citizens with criminal records across America.

INDIA ISSUING BIOMETRIC ID CARDS TO 1.2 BILLION CITIZENS

It is surely the biggest Big Brother project ever conceived. India is well on the way to giving each of its 1.2 billion citizens, millions of whom live in remote villages and possess no documentary proof of existence, a cyber-age biometric identity card.

EXECUTIVE ORDER GIVES PRESIDENT CONTROL OVER ALL COMMUNICATIONS IN A NATIONAL EMERGENCY

President Barack Obama quietly signed his name to an Executive Order on 27 July, 2012, allowing the White House to control all private communications in the country in the name of national security. - July 29/12. http://rt.com

RADIO CHIP COMPULSORY IN TEXAS SCHOOLS

A Texas school district has gone live with a controversial program requiring all students to wear a locator radio chip that will enable officials to track their every move or face expulsion. http://www.wnd.com/2012/10/wear-radio-chip-or-leave-school-tells-students/

There are many such reports of surveillance available these days.

And it is all leading up to

THE EMERGING 666 SYSTEM

Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth. He (the False Prophet) had two horns like a lamb but spoke like a dragon. He exercises all the authority of the first beast (Antichrist) in his presence, and causes the earth and those living on it to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. He performs great and miraculous signs, even causing fire to come down from heaven on the earth in full view of men. Because of the signs he was given power to do on behalf of the beast, he deceived the inhabitants of the earth. He ordered them to set up an image to the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived.

He (the False Prophet) was given power to give breath to the image of the Beast (Antichrist), so that it could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image of the Beast to be killed. He compels all, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands, or on their foreheads, so that no one should be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of his name. Here is wisdom, Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for the number is that of a man; and his number is 666. (Revelation 13:11-18)

Theres a lot of writing on the wall about Mystery 666 today!

That is what is ahead. A worldwide satanic dictatorship.

Alas for that Day! Dont be left behind!

GLOBAL DE-POPULATION

The Book of Revelation indicates that there will be massive depopulation during the Great Tribulation, through world war, famines, plagues, earthquakes, cyclones and asteroids as well as through man-made pollution.

Alarmingly, there is much writing on the wall that indicates satanic forces are using men and organizations to bring global population down to a manageable level some say, to about 500 million. Some world planers have even referred to the need to create a new civilization.

The rationalism behind the culling of the population is simple the planet is running out of resources; rapid population growth makes meaningful life unsustainable. Therefore we need

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT A specific plan has been outlined by the UN for Sustainable Development. Agenda 21 presents appealing goals, but the methods employed to fulfil those goals mean the loss of individual freedoms. But its all about governing the world.

The powers-that-be within the framework of the United Nations believe that the population of Planet Earth must be reduced by 85%. - Michael Shaw

As the world becomes more and more ruthless and brutal, it is not surprising to witness our excessive population being silently culled in many ways. It is argued that the most compassionate way of eliminating millions is through feticide the killing of babies in the womb.

Not so compassionate is the deliberate holding back of relief, in order to allow masses of starving people to die.

And not so kind is the euthanasia, the painless elimination of the unwanted aged and disabled of society. But for the welfare of the planet, and to give relief to the afflicted, the reasoning says, it is better to compassionately eliminate these whose lives are no longer worth living.

There is a generation whose teeth are like swords and their fangs are like knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men. (Proverbs 30:14)

PEACE AND WAR

We have Nobel peace prizes, we have peace talks, we have peace marches, we have cries for peace, but we have very little true peace in the world. Of course in some parts we have relative peacefulness. But at any given time, there are 100 or more conflicts, wars,

and battles brewing around the world. And brewing right now is a world war that will take peace from off the face of the earth.

The nations are very good at making war; but not much good at making true lasting peace. Today the world is looking for a superman a man of the superlative ability to craft solutions that ensure world peace.

The true Man of Peace is Yshua Mashiach Ha Sar Shalom - Jesus Christ the Prince of Peace.

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government will rest upon His shoulders. His Name will be called Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. There will be no end to the increase of His government and of peace. He will reign on the throne of David and over His kingdom, to establish and uphold it with justice and righteousness from that time on and for ever. The zeal of YHWH of Hosts will accomplish this. (Isaiah 9:6-7)

But there is another a contender, who will offer peace to the world. He is the Son of Satan the Son of Destruction. He will appear on the world scene shortly after the

Rapture - that is, after born again believers are caught up to meet the Saviour and taken to the Fathers House. Antichrist will then proceed in making a firm peace covenant with many (nations) for seven years. (Daniel 9:27) . But then

While they are saying, "Peace and safety!" then destruction will come upon them suddenly like birth pangs upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. (1 Thessalonians 5:3) A king will arise, insolent and skilled in intrigue. He will become very strong, but not by his own power. He will destroy to an extraordinary degree and prosper and perform his will; He will destroy mighty men, and

also the holy people. And through his shrewdness, he will cause deceit to succeed under his hand; and he will magnify himself in his heart. He will destroy many while they feel secure and are at ease. He will even rise against the Prince of princes. But he will be broken without human agency. (Daniel 8:23-25)

The Antichrists peace may last for a few months, but it will be followed by war world war.

Then a fiery red horse went forth. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and cause men to slay one another. A huge sword was given to him. (Rev. 6:4)

And this brings us to

THE EPICENTER OF THE WORLD

The Scriptures describe Jerusalem and Israel as the centre of the world.

Ezekiel 5:5 Thus says the Lord YHWH, This is Jerusalem; I have set her at the centre of the nations, with lands around her.

Ezekiel 38:8,12 In the latter days, you will come into the land that is restored from the sword, whose inhabitants have been gathered from many nations to the mountains of Israel which had been a continual waste; but its people were brought out from the nations, and they are living securely all of them at the centre of the world.

JERUSALEM SURROUNDED

When you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then recognise that its desolation is near. (Luke 21:20)
