From the point of view of the unsaved there is something so terrible, so frightening going on at the moment that it really defies description with the intensively of fear that it is soon going to evoke. I am not talking about some small irrelevant matter here what l am talking about is going to have earth shattering consequences for the survival of mankind as we know it.l would even doubt the ability of mankind to survive what is about to befall the earth and its inhabitants? In fact mankind as we know it will not survive...
For those of us that are regular Bible readers we know that when the ancients tried to build the Tower of Babel to the Heavens God became very angry and destroyed it and then as a form of punishment divided mankind up into different nationalities, speaking different tongues. The New World Order is the modern day tower of Babel and just as God destroyed the tower of Babel in ancient times, thousands of years ago, he will destroy its modern equivalent -- the NWO.
The world has been divided up into four sections: the Asian Union, the African Union, the North American Union and the European Union - and as the 01st of January 2010 and on the very same day that a full time EU president was appointed to the EU [known Biblically as the Antichrist] we entered into the final throngs of mankind's existence here on the earth as we know it; from the date of that appointment the first portion of the NWO was completed and the anger of God's wrath against the planet and its inhabitants began. There is no doubting my word as one has only to look at the daily news broadcasts to see the ever increasing frequency of natural disasters that have come upon the planet of late.
This is not a joke or something that is to be taken lightly this is something that is deadly serious in nature and is not to be scoffed at or ridiculed in any shape or form whatsoever, we are right at the end of the age as we know it.
We know that the first ever full time president of the EU is one of the two beasts of Revelation Chapter 13, (either the Antichrist or the False Prophet) and this shall be confirmed by his authorization of a seven year Middle East peace treaty in the interim future as per Daniel Chapter 9 Verse 27.
Dan 9:27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
There are meetings taking place over the current conflict in the Middle East even as I write this piece -- and if I were a betting man I wouldn't mind laying a wager that there will be some form of a covenant reached as a result of these current talks within twelve months; once there is a treaty that has been signed the final seven years of the end times will begin.
Now the point of this blog is not to frighten anyone but as has been mentioned above after the signing of the treaty seven years of tribulation will begin upon the earth with the first three and a half years called sorrows and the second half of the seven years called the Great Tribulation.
I would envisage that during the period of sorrows there will be one natural disaster one on top of each other, compounding, so that just as soon as one starts another one will start also, that there won't be one section of the globe that remains unaffected.
Then after the Antichrist breaks the treaty and moves into the temple and from there proclaims himself to be God reincarnate here on the earth the end of the world as we know it shall begin.
NB: I am not saying that the world is going to be utterly destroyed, the Bible does not teach that and neither am I, but what I am saying is that the world will be changed to such an extent that those who concurrently inhabit it will not be able to do so for much longer.
The result of that will be that there will be very few people left remaining on the earth as the intensity and frequency of the natural disasters become so unbearable that even those with the extremes of wealth and in the highest positions of government will not be able to stand up to it. Consequently they will go and hide themselves in caves just as God warned us is going to be the case in the last book of the Bible - the Book of the Apocalypse.
The point of my mentioning all of this doomsday type stuff is for those that those that are reading it will be aware of what is right around the corner so that they can make sure that they can be saved, before it is too late, those that are unsaved may be Born Again by reciting the believers prayer of repentance attached to the bottom of this blog; please do so as soon as you can as this may be the last chance for some to ever do so again.
Why Daniel 9:27 is Essential to Understanding Prophecy
To Honor Jesus Christ, Glorify God, Encourage Believers, & Warn All
This information is offered with the hope that YOU can come to KNOW the Lord personally.
To Get a True Understanding of Daniel 9:24-27, read Daniel's prayer at the bottom of this page.

One of the MOST AWESOME Prayers Ever Prayed!!
If you really want to build a Biblical system describing the end-times and you fail to include Daniel 9:27, you will have no system at all. It is the failure to understand and apply Daniel 9:27 that is the root cause for failure in other false end-times systems of thought.
A total of seventy (70) "WEEKS" are determined for "thy people", Daniel's people, the Jews. Sixty nine (69) of these "WEEKS" have already happened. Because these sixty nine (69) "WEEKS" that have ALREADY happened lasted a total of 483 years, we know how long the 70th "WEEK" will be.
The reason we know that the 70th "week" lasts 7 years is that the 7 "weeks" and 62 "weeks" (a total of 69 "weeks"), which have already happened, lasted exactly 483 years = 69 weeks X 7 years/week. The Messiah made His triumphant entry into the City of Jerusalem (Mathew 21:8) exactly 483 years after the commandment of Artaxerxes to rebuild the temple, March 14, 445 B.C. Subsequently He was "cutoff", crucified as recorded in Daniel 9:26. Please note that He was crucified AFTER the 7 weeks and the 62 weeks. That is, He was crucified AFTER the 69th week.
This whole prophecy (of Daniel) was made in 538 B.C. while the Jews were in Babylon at the end of their 70-year captivity. The 1st 69 "weeks" were fulfilled exactly as predicted and the 70th "week" will also.
Here is the TOTAL SEVENTY "WEEKS"
Daniel 9:24 SEVENTY WEEKS are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
Here are the Sixty nine (7 + 62) "WEEKS" that have already Happened
Daniel 9:25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be SEVEN WEEKS , and THREESCORE and TWO WEEKS: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
Daniel 9:26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
Here is the ONE "WEEK" that Remains
Daniel 9:27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for ONE WEEK : and in the MIDST of the WEEK he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
Since God said he would deal with the Jews as a NATION for SEVENTY "WEEKS" and He promised to regather them nationally in the future in preparation for His Coming, then, God plans to deal with the NATION Israel in the future for ONE "WEEK" before He returns. To say that ONE WEEK of Daniel 9:27 has already happened (since God says He will regather Israel as a NATION) is to say there will be 71 WEEKS. To say that the week WILL NOT happen in the future is to say there are less than SEVENTY "WEEKS."
Since we already know (from the 69 weeks that HAVE happened) that a "WEEK" is SEVEN YEARS, then, God must have a future dealing with the NATION Israel for SEVEN years.
What did Jesus Christ Himself have to say about this?
In Mathew 24:3 Jesus was asked a question- " ...what shall be the sign of thy coming and of the end of the world?"
Jesus Answers the Question About TIMING of the End of the Age
Matthew 24:15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation , spoken of by Daniel the prophet , stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
Matthew 24:16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
Matthew 24:17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
Matthew 24:18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
Matthew 24:19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
Matthew 24:20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
Matthew 24:21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
Here we have Jesus making a direct reference to Daniel 9:27
