TAOISEACH Enda Kenny is being tipped as a frontrunner to take over as EU chief when the powerful position comes up next year.

TAOISEACH Enda Kenny

He is being linked with two top positions in the European Union in an analysis of the contenders by an influential Brussels-based opinion-shaper.

The Taoiseach is viewed as a frontrunner for the powerful post of European Council president, as he is seen as "capable but not a big name with an ego".

The European Council president chairs the meetings of EU leaders where all the major decisions are made.

The post is up for grabs in December 2014.

And Mr Kenny has an outside shot for European Commission president, the head of the EU cabinet, which becomes available next June.

The Taoiseach's name is being mentioned following the success of Ireland's EU presidency, where he "impressed in his handling of the EU budget negotiations".

The frontrunners for the elite posts are identified by Burson-Marsteller, one of Europe's leading public affairs and communications consultancy firms.

"Kenny has a good profile for the European Council job in particular – a consensus-builder (he is in a coalition government with Labour) from a small member state who has had some success at EU level with his successful steering of negotiations on the EU's long-term budget during the Irish presidency.

"Possibly a better bet for the Council job than for the Commission," Burson-Marsteller says.

Mr Kenny's spokesman said the Taoiseach's "sole focus" was on his current post.

He continued: "We don't comment on speculation" – while declining to rule out the move. He added: "The Taoiseach is completely focused on the job in hand, which is exiting the bailout and creating jobs."

The European Council president will be picked directly by the 28 EU leaders. They will select a current or former EU leader, so the candidates come from a limited pool.

FOOTNOTE: As the Antichrist was always thought of as being the president of the EU, if appointed as the next president of the EU does this then make Edna Kenny the Antichrist?

Even if he were to be selected as the president of the EU, if the first and current president of the EU Herman Van Rompuy is any sort of an indicator at all then most certainly the answer to that could only be a resounding NO! As was the case with Van Rompuy, this individual appears to be rather mild looking, hardly any sort of an Antichrist type when we are possibly looking for a sterner looking individual by a long shot. It seems to me that is the intention anyway, to appoint someone who does not comes across as being much of a threat to the larger body of the EU members? In the long run the Christians are looking for someone who comes across as a strong man, a leader, who will be able to take over the reins of the running of the EU as a powerful dictatorial Super President of types.

Is this new SEVEN YEAR treaty to be the one that we are looking for?

Netanyahu

Israel says won't sign EU deal under new terms

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel would rather forgo hundreds of millions of dollars in EU research grants than accept an anti-settlement clause Europe wants written into any new partnership deal, Israel's deputy foreign minister said Friday, a day after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu convened top Cabinet ministers to stake out a position.
The deputy minister, Zeev Elkin, said Israel still hopes to soften the terms of Horizon 2020, a seven-year Europe-wide research grant program that begins in 2014 and has a budget of 80 billion euros.
If it joins, Israel would pay in about 600 million euros and likely receive more than 1 billion euros in grants. Israel successfully participated in the outgoing European grant program.
"We want to sign and we are ready to negotiate, but if the conditions are as they are today, which are unprecedented ... we can't sign," Elkin told Israel Radio.
The new EU guidelines say any partnership agreements with Israel must state clearly they are not applicable to the West Bank, Gaza and east Jerusalem, lands Israel captured in 1967. The guidelines were introduced, in part, to show the EU's growing dismay over Israeli settlement expansion on war-won land the Palestinians want for a state.
The settlements, home to about 560,000 Israelis, are deemed illegal by most of the international community, including the EU. Israel's 1967 annexation of east Jerusalem into its capital has not been recognized by most countries in the world.

Negotiations between Israel and the EU on signing Horizon 2020 are to begin in the coming days.

On Thursday, Netanyahu met with Cabinet ministers to try to find a way out of the dilemma.
Netanyahu presides over a center-right coalition that includes prominent pro-settler politicians and would likely find it difficult to accept the EU's new "territorial clause." However, turning down the research partnership could cause significant harm to Israeli research and economic interests.
Zehava Galon of the dovish Meretz Party said the government is acting recklessly by endangering Israel's participation in the grant program.
"This is what a sinking ship looks like when its captains decide to establish the State of Judea (biblical term for the West Bank) while destroying the future of Israel," she told Israel Radio. "Because this is destroying the scientific future of Israel, Israeli research."

Elkin said Israel was faced with a decision of principle.

Losing access to Horizon 2020 would be considerable, mainly "in terms of promoting Israeli science and its need to compete with scientists around the world," he said. However, "Israel cannot discriminate (between different areas), as the EU demands now, with special certificates and commitments."
It remains unclear how much wiggling room, if any, negotiators would have.
Europe might want to avoid a showdown with Israel at a time when Israeli-Palestinian peace talks are finally underway, following a five-year freeze. Negotiations resumed last month.
However, the EU appeared unlikely to agree to the changes sought by Israel, since their new wording "reiterates the long-held position that bilateral agreements with Israel do not cover the territory that came under Israel's administration in June 1967," as the bloc's foreign policy chief, Catherine Ashton, put it last month.
On Friday, her spokesman Michael Mann said the EU Commission, the 28-nation bloc's executive arm, is aware of media reports that Israel is planning to seek clarifications.
"We stand ready to organize discussions during which such clarifications can be provided and look forward to continued successful EU-Israel cooperation, including in the area of scientific cooperation," he said

Food for thought? As the word MANY in the prophecy Daniel remains somewhat opaque, when we are looking for a seven year treaty confirmed by the Antichrist there is a possibility that as the EU has many nations, the MANY may just refer to Israel and the EU? That is still not to say that the popular theory over the years has always been that the many referred to Israel and the Arab states in the area, with the suggestion always being that what we were looking for was a seven year Middle East peace treaty? However, that is still not to say that we still need to consider other options relative to a seven year treaty, even if that involves something that is out the norm, so to speak. As that is the case, then consider the following as what is being referred to in this instance is a seven year treaty between Israel and the EU, even if that treaty does not of necessity refer to a seven year Middle East peace treaty. Even though I may be wrong in this instance, what we seem to be looking at is Israel joining the EU? As a natural consequence of that arrangement Netanyahu would more or less lose the enormous power that he wields for the time being in Israel? In turn, that would bring him and the nation of Israel under the control of the Antichrist, whoever he happened to be at the time of the signing of the treaty. Therefore, what we are really looking at in this instance is some kind of bribe to more or less bring Israel under the control of the EU and the Antichrist? There are of course numerous other aspects to this that could open a mine field of conjecture and possible scenarios. We know that the Antichrist is based in Jerusalem when the Great Tribulation begins but has anyone ever considered the possibility that he may already be there? Netanyahu is opposed to any of these changes but would he change his mind if Israel were ever to be offered the entire presidency the EU while he is still being based right back at home in Israel? I know that appears to be a way out there and right up with the fairies type of a suggestion but who really knows what is right around the corner when we are dealing with the end times Bible prophecies. After all, there were always those who were saying that we need to keep a close eye on Israel for the fulfilment of the remainder of the Bible prophecies? If there was anyone else who would like to add anything at all to that statement then I would certainly like to hear your comments.

What the Royal birth does or Does Not Mean Relative to the Bible Prophecies?

Introduction . . .

Prince William Antichrist?

God warns of a world leader who will soon rise and grow in power. This coming world leader has been given around 33 names and titles (which describe attributes) in the Bible (both in the Old and New Testaments) ... one of which is the 'Antichrist.' The Bible says this man will not be revealed until after the 'Restrainer' (the Holy Spirit - including the body of believers alive at the time) is 'removed' (as a note, some believe at that time the U.S. will also be "removed" from its role as a "restraining" world power). This coming world leader (the Antichrist) will begin by exerting control over ten nations which were once part of the Roman Empire (most likely European) . . .

"The ten horns are ten kings who shall arise from (out of)
this kingdom (the Roman Empire ... could be 10 nations out of the Europe Union)
And another shall rise after them;
he (the Antichrist) shall be different from the first ones,
and shall subdue three kings (or nations) . . ." (The end begins)
(Daniel 7:24)

"Shall be different"... we don't know what nationality this man will be, or what might make him "different." In one verse he is described as 'the Assyrian' (an area around Syria and Iraq). He may be considered an 'alien' by some. This man will quickly consolidate power over 10 nations which were once part of the Roman Empire (probably European) and then over the whole world through treaties and war. God warns this man will be empowered by Satan. He will lead the world into the terrors of the Apocalypse. This coming world leader has been given many names and titles in the Bible, including one of the best known, yet most misleading - the 'Antichrist.' Although he will be against faithful Christians and will mock God’s Word, the world will view him as a great leader and a man of peace. This man will be Satan’s counterfeit messiah. He will use deception and lies to "spin" his web of deceit and to conceal his true motives. Prophecies hint this man will not be fully revealed until the "Restrainer" is taken out of the way . . .

George Alexander Louis!
What a great name for the latest member of the House of Windsor. Is there anyone out there who happens to come across this blog who may have heard all of the conspiracy theories floating around the Internet relative to the Antichrist allegedly coming from the oldest Royal Family in the entire world? After having typed in the Royal baby into a search engine there was one site I happened to come across that literally had what must have been almost a book load of information relative to what I have mentioned above. And that is before we even mention the site that claims to have the largest following of all on the Internet comparative to the other millions of other end time’s sites, if they are to be believed that is, which I do not.

Despite the fact that there is masses and masses of information relative to suggesting that either Prince Charles, or Prince William, or this latest addition is the Antichrist, there is still one major factor that none of those sites has taken into consideration, none of the aforementioned holds any political office as either a president or a prime minister, that I am aware of, which immediately disqualifies the whole lot of them from the candidacy for being the beast. That is still not to say that the arguments that are being put forward are truly convincing. So much so that is seems that some of them may have lost their calling when some of those who are writing these articles could have been criminal defence lawyers instead.

Even though we should be looking for the return of Christ and not the Antichrist we still need to keep in mind that we are still going to see the Antichrist before we see Christ, and that the appearance of the Antichrist is a sure enough indicator that the return of Christ could surely not be all that far away. Even though there is still a great deal of prominence placed on the Antichrist by the end times preachers we also still need to remember that we are looking for two beasts, the Antichrist and the False Prophet, once the end times starts, not just one. From what I have gathered lately it seems to me that we may be looking for someone who is going to arise out of the fourth Reich now on the upsurge once again in Germany, and that he must be either a president or prime minister, but more than likely he will be a president of some form or another? Possibly a German Jew, but not the ageing Henry Kissinger as the late and great Barry R Smith maintained right up until the end of his life. God bless

European Parliament approves EU's 2014-20 budget – what now the treaty of Daniel Chapter 9, Verse 27?

Martin Schultz

In the latter days there are actually two beasts who run the final world empire together. The first beast is the Antichrist while the second beast is the false prophet. While there is a great deal of significance placed on the Antichrist, the second beast is just as evil as the first. Both of these beasts will be known as presidents. At the moment, there are three well known presidents of the EU, the president of the parliament, the president of the commission and the president of the council of ministers. Interestingly enough, one of those presidents, the president of the council of ministers, is now saying that he is going to finish with politics come 2014. My best guess would be to assume that he is not going to be replaced, meaning that we are going to be then left with just two presidents, the president of the parliament and the president of the commission.

At this stage, I am not suggesting that either one of the two remaining presidents fits into the categories of being either the Antichrist or the false prophet. Instead, what I am suggesting is that they are both individuals who we need to keep a very close eye on when it comes to a better understanding of the end times, leading up to the return of the Lord Jesus Christ.

For years and years my understanding of the scriptures regarding the revealing of the correct identity of the Antichrist, the more prominent of the two beasts, was that he would confirm a seven year covenant with many. There are differing points of view when it comes to the interpretation of word many. For the time being I do not want to become side tracked by becoming embroiled in a correct understanding of that particular piece of scripture.

Once again, I am not even coming close to signifying that the EU's next seven-year budget is the seven year treaty we are looking for. All that I am suggesting is that it may just be the ONE; with that being the covenant of Daniel Chapter 9, Verse 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 offering 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. (KJV)

What that means is that initially we shall know who the Antichrist is by his confirmation of a seven year treaty.

In the light of the European Parliament approving the EU's 2014-20 budget strategy look at what we have thus far.
Approving something is just another way of saying, endorsing, or confirming whatever has been proposed. The parliament will not cast its final, legally binding vote on the bloc's 960-billion-euro (1.25-trillion-dollar) budget for 2014-20 until September at the earliest. Whoever is the president of the Parliament at the time of the signing of the changes will be the one who is going to confirm the treaty. Germany is the most powerful economy in the EU and interestingly enough the president of the Parliament is a German, a man named Martin Schulz.

This is the first time the legislature of the Parliament has had the power to sign off on the EU's expenditures. Common sense would dictate that whoever controls the purse strings of the EU virtually controls the whole show and in this case it is Martin Schultz. If Schultz is going to sign off on the treaty by still being the president of the parliament at that particular time he will be the one we are looking for? If we take a long hard look at Martin Schultz can then understand that he is a new kid on the block and that more than likely he is going to confirm a seven year covenant with many? That then ties in with what has been common knowledge relative to the introduction of the Antichrist. That the newly appointed president of the EU would be the one who is going to confirm, but not design, the covenant of Daniel.

Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny, was the main man who represented the member states in the negotiations “This is about real jobs for real people and it beats any alternative that I've heard proposed Kenny had said" What has taken place also ties in with the prophecies which tell us that the Antichrist will only confirm and not design what others have worked out.

The myth of seat number 666 in the European Parliament being the seat of the Antichrist is now dispelled

Italian politician Clemente Mastella

According to some so called Bible Prophecy experts, all of the seats in the European parliament have been occupied except for number 666.

Now this is where a conspiracy theory begins and ends.

With some saying seat number 666 has been deliberately left vacant so that the Antichrist is able to occupy it at a later date, could it be that the seat has been left vacant (if it still is vacant) just because it is seat number 666, and out of sheer suspicion only.

Here is what one man had to say relative to that suggestion. I work at the European Parliament and, sad to say, it's actually a lot more boring than this suggests. The thing about seat 666 is an amusing myth that comes up now and then, but it's essentially just nonsense. Someone does in fact sit in seat number 666 in the European Parliament - both in the building in Strasbourg and in Brussels. The idea that the seat is kept empty goes back to an article that was written some ten years ago now. Because I've had so many people ask about this, I can even tell you who sits in the seat. At present the person who sits in seat 666 in the parliament in Strasbourg is an Italian politician called Clemente Mastella. He has a reputation for being a sleaze ball, but it's probably a bit of a stretch to call him the Antichrist. Someone also sits in the seat in the parliament in Brussels. This time it's a French politician called Michèle Rivasi - she's a Green MEP, not very famous, but a fairly nice lady nonetheless. I've met her and I certainly wouldn't think she's the Antichrist, but I'm not a very good judge of character...I must admit that it would help break up the day if we had the spawn of Satan walking around, but sadly it's just not the case.

The sad and sorry plight of Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev, the patsy’s for the Boston Bombings

Alex Jones is amazing, a highly intelligent man. What he says goes right beyond the realms of being just another conspiracy theory and puts Boston right up there with the very worst of what is going on in America. Barry Smith would have loved all of this for the sheer sensationalism that is represents.

It is quite easy to dismiss this as being nothing much more than complete and utter nonsense except for the obvious holes that lay in the official story. For example, the mother and father of the alleged perpetrators claimed they were framed and that if indeed the older brother was in constant touch with the FBI (as has been suggested by the mother) that also to points to the fact of a set up being involved? In this instance, I tend to believe the mother and father who have claimed their innocence of their children. After all, there is no one who knows you better than your own mother, if you are fortunate enough to still have your mother?

In the process of the arrests then older brother was killed which could indicate that he was silenced deliberately? At the same time, the younger assailant remains in a critical condition after capture which could also suggest that if he does not play the game then he will also be allowed to die?

There were 900 big burly cops sweeping the area on the lookout for the younger brother and yet they could only locate him until after they were given a tip off. Could it be that they were they really all that interested in finding him alive and that as he was quite seriously injured at the time of his arrest did they also attempt to kill him as well? At the time of this writing I am not aware if he has survived, or not? But then again, I would not be surprised at all if he doesn’t make it at all.

Just as Jones has suggested, there are no doubts at all that all in not right as far as the official story of the Boston bombings is concerned. This really does look like it has been a deliberate plan to take away the liberty of the American people?

However, in this process we still need to look at Alex Jones himself and then realize that he is not a Christian, and that he is making a lot of money out of what he is doing. Not that he doesn’t deserve whatever he makes out of his tireless and hard work. ‘

Even though what he says does indeed make a lot of sense it still does not explain the shootout? After all, if those two boys were as innocent, as what it appears they were, then why would they have gone on the offensive when trying to allude capture? However, as with everything else that is attached to this whole sad and sorry mess there is more than likely a plausible explanation attached to that sanctioned story as well.

From the JFK assassination, to 911 and now this, how far is this evil going to extend and when will it end? Small wonder the word of God describes the after effects of a nuclear war in Revelation Chapter 18 and the resultant destruction of New York City. That rather unfortunate event now look like it is going to be also deliberately designed to shift the world economy away from the US over the EU under the control of the Antichrist?

Of course, there is yet another aspect to this story that still needs some consideration. If what was going on was really nothing much more than an exercise in terrorism then it may also have been probable that the two boys alleged to be involved in this may have just used this to their advantage to stage the tragedy that they did? In other words they are guilty as has been alleged. It is really quite hard to determine the real facts of the matter as far as this whole sad and sorry mess is concerned.

Really, the only point that has really swayed me in the direction of a belief in the innocence of the two boys concerned was the conviction by which both the parents spoke relative to their son’s none guilt over this matter. But as blood is always as thick as water isn’t that what one would expect the parents to say anyway? Either parent is never going to throw a child away no matter what he or she is ever accused of. However, a golden rule to remember is that basically one can believe nothing one hears and only half of what one sees.

There was a time just before his passing that the late Bill Cooper, of BEYOND A PALE HORSE fame, had an all-out stoush with Jones accusing him of being really nothing much more than a sensationalist, which of course that is exactly what he is. After all, that is how he makes his living. Apparently the row started over some of the material that Cooper had published which had caused an adverse reaction with Jones and then of course it was on for young and old.

The result of course was that these two never ever saw eye to eye over anything and as far as I am aware that is how it remained right up until the passing of Cooper at quite a young age. Cooper died after he became involved in a shootout with US Federal Law Enforcement Officers, over whatever matter I am not sure of at this stage.

If there is anyone else out there who would like to add anything further to my own limited outlook then I would be more than happy to hear your input as well.

Anti-Hell Pastor Rob Bell Now Fully Supports Gay Marriage

Sodom and Gomorrah

by NTEB News Desk

Laodicean Pastor Rob Bell Plunges Further Into Apostasy
Controversial faith leader Rob Bell spoke over the weekend at Grace Cathedral in San Francisco, Calif., where the former pastor openly endorsed gay marriage. When asked about the controversial issue by The Very Rev. Dr. Jane Shaw, who was moderating the event, he offered up a clear and concise response – one that will serve as a surprise to many conservative evangelicals.

“Yes, I am for marriage. I am for fidelity. I am for love,” he said, going on to get more specific. “Whether it’s a man and a woman, a woman and a woman, a man and a man — and I think the ship has sailed and I think the church needs to just — this is the world we’re living in and we need to affirm people wherever they are.”

Bell also addressed the political association that is generally attached to American Christians. Rather than embracing the notion that most believers are conservative in nature, he said that dynamic no longer holds true.

“I think we are witnessing the death of a particular subculture that doesn’t work. I think there is a very narrow, politically intertwined, culturally ghettoized, Evangelical subculture that was told ‘we’re gonna change the thin’ and they haven’t,” Bell said. “And they actually have turned away lots of people. And I think that when you’re in a part of a subculture that is dying, you make a lot more noise because it’s very painful. You sort of die or you adapt.”

The pastor and author went on to say that some of the methods that Christians have used to discuss God have not been inclusive and have done little to bring people into the fold. He even called some policies that Christians have embraced “destructive” and he called for believers to “repent.”

News of Bell’s gay marriage endorsement was reported on Greg Carey’s HuffPo blog. Carey is a professor of New Testament studies at Lancaster Theological Seminary. In writing about Bell’s shocking claim, he said,

“To my knowledge, Bell’s interview marks the first time that he has openly supported marriage equality and perhaps the first time he has definitively separated himself from politically conservative evangelicalism.”

This won’t be the first time that the pastor makes headlines, though. In March 2011, we reported Bell’s questioning of hell. In September of that same year, Bell announced that he was stepping down from his pastoral position at Mars Hill Church in Grandville, Mich.

The announcement about Bell’s gay marriage views comes as Hillary Clinton made a similar public proclamation on Monday. In January, Steve Chalke, senior pastor at Oasis Church in the UK, also endorsed same-sex marriage, sending shock-waves through the evangelical community. source - The Blaze

Pastor Rob Bell: There Is No Hell

Stealing your faith
The bible says this about people living in the end times, our time – “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away [their] ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.” 2 Timothy 4:3,4.

That day, foreseen by the Lord and given to Paul to teach as a prophecy of the future apostasy of the church, has arrived. Who needs “sound teaching” anyway? You get a whole lot more people to fill the pews when you tell them what they want to hear, rather than what the revealed word of God clearly teaches. Pastors like Joel Osteen of the Lakewood Church in Texas have built up a weekly audience of over 15,000 people by telling them that God “wants you to be rich.”

Similarly, Pastor Rob Bell of the Mars Hill church has gained an audience of over 7,000 a week by teaching them “another gospel”. He has just written a book called “Love Wins: A Book About Heaven, Hell, and the Fate of Every Person Who Ever Lived.” The theme of this runaway bestseller? That maybe there is no actual Hell, maybe the bible was only using it to scare us, and that in the end everyone, including Hitler, and pedophiles and Al Capone, all get “reconciled to God”, and no one actually spends eternity in Hell. SPOILER ALERT: If Rod Bell is correct then Jesus is a liar and the bible is a useless book not fit for much of anything.

The rich man didn’t think there was a real Hell, either
The bible is a funny Book, God gives you all the space you want to BELIEVE what He wrote, or to reinterpret His words to suit your own level of disbelief. It’s up to you. But the bible also says that because people refused to believe the Truth, that God would send them a “stong delusion” so that they might “believe a lie”. Jesus taught about the reality of Hell, and warned against it greatly. Listen to the fate of the rich man in Luke 16 who died believing in what Rob Bell teaches.

“And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.” Luke 16.

Ok, so someone is lying about Hell then. Either the bible is deceiving you, or Rob Bell is. Which is it?

Jesus said repeatedly that Hell is real, Rob Bell says otherwise. Who do YOU believe?

Time magazine makes Rob Bell it’s cover story.
“The standard Christian view of salvation through the death and resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth is summed up in the Gospel of John, which promises “eternal life” to “whosoever believeth in Him.”

Traditionally, the key is the acknowledgment that Jesus is the Son of God, who, in the words of the ancient creed, “for us and for our salvation came down from heaven … and was made man.” In the Evangelical ethos, one either accepts this and goes to heaven or refuses and goes to hell. Bell, a tall, 40-year-old son of a Michigan federal judge, begs to differ.

The traditionalist reaction is understandable, for Bell’s arguments about heaven and hell raise doubts about the core of the Evangelical worldview, changing the common understanding of salvation so much that Christianity becomes more of an ethical habit of mind than a faith based on divine revelation.

“When you adopt universalism and erase the distinction between the church and the world,” says Mohler, “then you don’t need the church, and you don’t need Christ, and you don’t need the cross. This is the tragedy of nonjudgmental mainline liberalism, and it’s Rob Bell’s tragedy in this book too.”

Particularly galling to conservative Christian critics is that Love Wins is not an attack from outside the walls of the Evangelical city but a mutiny from within — a rebellion led by a charismatic, popular and savvy pastor with a following.

Is Bell’s Christianity — less judgmental, more fluid, open to questioning the most ancient of assumptions — on an inexorable rise? “I have long wondered if there is a massive shift coming in what it means to be a Christian,” Bell says. “Something new is in the air.” source – Time

Something new indeed
The Time magazine article ends with Pastor Bell, having dismissed the bible doctrine of Hell, smugly retorts that “something new is in the air”. Actually, Mr. Bell, it’s not something new, it’s something as old as the Devil himself. And you do his work when you teach lies and false doctrine, such as you have done with your book, “Love Wins”.

As we said at the start of this article, if Hell is not real, then Jesus is a bald-faced liar. Period. End of story. Now granted, you may not like the idea of a literal, burning Hell, Mr Bell. But your dislike of it does not remove it’s presence.

Indeed, there will be many in your church who, taught there is no Hell, will then rightly conclude on that basis that perhaps there is no literal Heaven, either. And having done that, Jesus Himself becomes a fairy tale. Why would a person like that ever feel the need to get saved? So they can be washed clean of their figurative sins?

No, Mr. Bell, when you remove the doctrine of Hell, you remove the doctrine of Heaven as well. Make no mistake, there will be Hell to pay for the lies you are teaching.

What does Van Rompuy achieve through his seven-year budget strategy?

EU President Herman Van Rompuy

It is extremely important to note that what Van Rompuy is effectively achieving through his seven year budget strategy (or treaty) is binding the nations of the EU into a single government.

In other words, the 17 governing nations of the EU will hand their authority over to just this one man, through the economy. Just as the word of God said would be the instance the Beast will effectively gain his enormous power and seat of authority through flattery and intrigue.

Then, once the treaty has been signed off on, watch the grey mouse change into a mighty lion to become the despotic leader of the EU the word of God describes him as being.

The timing for the prophecies of Daniel Chapter 9, Verse 27 is not found in the preceding verses of that chapter that relates to the 69 weeks of Daniel.

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.  (Daniel Chapter 9, Verse 27)

Instead that is to be found in Revelation Chapter 13, where we are told that the Antichrist reigns for one month. Prophetically speaking, one month is 42 months, or three and a half years.

And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty [and] two months. (Revelation Chapter 13, Verse 5)

Even though the signing off on the treaty is one of the most incredulous and mind boggling decisions that mankind has ever made, there has hardly been a whimper mentioned about it in the media.

We’re entering the 70th Week of Daniel

The Antichrist as he will sit in the temple in Jerusalem

In the early 1990s, when I first began my journey studying and reporting on the end times Bible Prophecies I was not aware of the varying methods for the interpretation for the word of God. My experience was strictly limited to a long history of a literal belief in the Bible as being the infallible word of God. So, what follows is not intended as an argument for a particular method of biblical interpretation. Instead, what I am reporting is the fulfilment of the Bible prophecies based on the interpretation that I have learnt from now deceased preachers of the old school of thought. Simply, there was no one who knew it better.

In the Old Testament book of Daniel we read:
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. Daniel Chapter 9, Verse 27 (KJV)

I tend to follow that old school of thought mentioned above where it is commonly believed the passage above foretells the rise of a new leader from out of a Revived Roman Empire, the president of the EU, who will confirm, strengthen, or make strong, a covenant, agreement, or treaty, with many for a period of seven years. Israel will be included in this covenant. After 3 1/2 years, the leader will put an end to the sacrifices and cause the oblation to cease. From the book of Daniel, we learn that this leader will appear among a 10-nation alliance (Daniel 7:7-8). Just after coming to power, the leader will subdue three kings from the 10-nation alliance (Daniel 7:24). In the New Testament book of Revelation we are told learn that this leader will be identified by the number 666 (Revelation 13:18).

May it also be noted that the old school of thought mentioned above interprets the above passage from the book of Daniel to refer to a seven year peace treaty in the Middle East. However, if we were to read the passage once again it should be noted that there is nothing at all that is actually said in the passage about a peace treaty. All that it really mentions initially is a seven year treaty. To say that Daniel Chapter 9, Verse 27 is referring to a peace treaty is like those who would say that this verse or that verse refers to a Rapture. However, the word Rapture is never mentioned anywhere in the word of God. In this instance all that is happening is that something is being added to the Holy Scriptures that is not to begin with.

There is a great deal of information on Wikipedia relating to the treaties of the European Union. However, there is really far too much information there to copy and paste here. What I am dealing with specifically are the major treaties that have thus far been ratified which have enabled the European Union to progress thus far. There are only just two major that we need to mention; The Treaty on European Union and Treaty on the functioning of the European Union. However, as we are dealing with the end times Bible Prophecies what we need to be looking for specifically is a seven year treaty of some kind that will enable us to point more directly to that treaty and then say that is the treaty of Daniel. After that we will then be able to confirm the current EU president as being the Beast of Revelation Chapter 13 - the Antichrist.

Until I heard the news the other day that European Council president, Herman Van Rompuy, has clinched a Multi-annual Financial Framework (MFF) for a near one trillion euros budget after proposing a €34.4bn cut over the next seven years there was no sign of a seven year treaty on the horizon. Now of course there is just that. Who is going to ratify the agreement remains somewhat opaque? Nevertheless, we know who it is going to be, the Antichrist, and as it is Van Rompuy’s handiwork it is best left to the imagination of the reader as to just who is going ratify the treaty? Keep in mind also that the Antichrist simply ratifies what others have already worked out and thus far at these series of meetings there has been no sign of Van Rompuy.

Friends, the entire end-time picture may now be right before our eyes. And, it’s my fear that, because of doctrinal differences — some very minor — many of God’s people will continue to be uninformed. There is much more information yet to come. But, in light of all that’s been presented, I don’t think more information should be necessary.

If we’re entering the 70th Week, then we should expect a gradual peace to begin dawning over the Middle East. We should see many of our own religious leaders seduced by the Antichrist. Then three and a half years after the treaty has been confirmed later on this year in June. Expect it all to fall apart as the Antichrist breaks the treaty leading the world into the Great Tribulation period.

MARK MY WORDS WELL WHEN I SAY THAT ONCE THE COVENANT OF DANIEL HAS BEEN SIGNED WATCH THE CHANGE COME OVER THE SIGNORE, WHOEVER HE HAPPENS TO BE? 

Stay tuned!

God is throwing rocks at the world... it's time to get right with Him before the big one hits!

By Pat Franklin
In the same day an asteroid passed near the earth, a meteor hit Russia, another hit Cuba, and one passed over San Francisco Bay. Is God trying to tell us something? He already told us there is a huge space object on the way, burning and big as a mountain (Book of Revelation chapter 8 verse 8). That asteroid will not miss.

Time to get yourselves ready to go, folks! For anyone who studies Bible prophecy, the message is so clear: time is extremely short. Jesus Christ is coming back, as He promised, for His people. Then this world is going to be judged; God will pour out His wrath on the world which has rejected His Son.

The big asteroid now heading straight for us, undetected as yet by science, is one of the seven trumpet judgements. It is number two. It follows the terrible rain of hail, fire and blood which is the first trumpet judgement and which burns up one-third of the earth. The asteroid hits the sea and one-third of the sea creatures die, plus one-third of the ships are destroyed.

Talk about a 'hard rain coming'! And those are only two of the judgements. It gets worse.

You don't want to be here when that hard rain falls! We've had a little taster in the Russian meteor. Not nice. When God really starts throwing rocks, I want to be long gone.

Some of you might say...I don't want a God who throws rocks at us...

If you feel like that, you do not know our loving, kind, merciful, slow-to-anger Father, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. He has provided a way we CAN know Him as Father, and that way is through accepting the sacrifice of His only Son, Jesus Christ, on Calvary's cross. Jesus took the penalty of all sins of everyone who will trust in Him.
He is the way (to Heaven), the truth, and the life (eternal life which you can have), John 14.

You do not have to be here when the burning mountain hits earth. That is part of God's wrath, His holy anger at our rebellion and wickedness of all sorts. He does not want anyone to perish, but to have eternal life with Him, enjoying all the pleasures He has planned for those who love Him. His will is that everybody comes to faith. Our tragedy is that we do not want His will; we do not want Jesus in our lives; we want to do our own will. God allows us to choose.

Choose today, dear friends, who YOU will serve. Yourself? Keep on in the world's way, struggling on, getting older, not achieving the things you long for. If you don't have God in your life, your highest hope is that when you die there is nothing. Nothing. But there IS something. The Bible tells us: it is for man to die once (no reincarnation), and then the judgement.

The judgement, folks! What will you be judged on? What is the basis of God's judgement?

'Well, I am a good person.' But Jesus said says no one was good except God (and of course He Himself WAS God).

'Well, I wasn't as bad as so and so.' That won't wash. An earthly judge would not let you off a speeding ticket because you didn't go nearly as fast as the next person! A court would not let you go because the amount you stole was not as much as someone else's theft! Justice must be done! The law is the law.

'Well, my good deeds outweigh my bad deeds.' No, that won't work either. The Bible tells us our good deeds are like filthy rags to God if they are not filtered through faith in Christ. It is like offering someone a speck of dirt in exchange for a mountain of diamonds. It is an insult to God. No one is saved by good deeds, lest anyone should boast.

'I know I am not good enough; I am a sinner; I don't deserve anything; but I put my faith in the blood of my Savior, Jesus Christ, which cleanses me of all sin (1 John 1:7).'
It is the last one which is the only ticket to Heaven. Jesus said: 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.' John 14:6

Won't you put your faith in Jesus today? Won't you admit you really are a sinner? 1 John 1:10 says: 'If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar and His word is not in us.'

It is not so hard to say: I am a sinner. I've broken God's holy commandments. I deserve judgement.

The night I said those words direct to God, I was all alone, in my bedroom. Over a period of a week and a half, I had read through the gospels of Matthew and Mark, and was about halfway through Luke. I saw in the gospels that Jesus was real, and that I was a sinner. If you will read, you will see that you too are a sinner. God has set His bar so high, none of us can reach it, because we ALL have a sinful nature.

In His great love for us, He sent His Son so that none of us need to perish, but all who believe in Jesus can gain eternal life.

The most famous scripture in the Bible: John 3:16: 'For God so loved the world that He sent His only begotten Son so that whoever believes in Him (Jesus) shall not perish, but have eternal life.'

Dear friends, time is short. The meteor that hit, the asteroid that just missed us...this is serious. God is so patient with us, but time is running out. There is a phrase in the Bible, 'the appointed time'. Jesus came at the appointed time. He will come back at the appointed time. God has a calendar, a plan; He has His own agenda, the 'appointed times'.

The time is very near, we believe, and in our books we give many reasons. Won't you reflect today?

Here is a good prayer, but only if you mean it from your heart: 'Dear God, I am a sinner. I have done, said, thought, bad things. I put my faith in Jesus Christ, who died on the cross of Calvary for my sins. Please, Lord Jesus, wash me clean! Please make me one of Your people!'

THE ANTICHRIST OF TIM McHYDE

Under no circumstances shall we cave to an American Antichrist: Antichrist is EURO-CENTRIC—final answer!

So, when we get to the post-tribulationist like Tim McHyde, we should be able to expect something a bit different; and, in a way it is—but eventually its “centre of prophetic gravity” resembles the pre-tribulationists in America.

McHyde’s quite a guy – hearty agreement is found in much of what he says—notwithstanding his vociferous defence for charging for his ministry (You have to purchase his book in order to get into what he’s revealing—and if you criticize for “asking” – look out—the “labourer is worthy of his hire” and McHyde will instruct you accordingly!).

Again, and unfortunate as it continues to appear, America will be annihilated by a cataclysmic occurrence—prophetically announced, no less—and, ipso facto, Europe shall ascend, producing the Antichrist, etc., etc., etc.

But, prior to getting into America’s demise—let’s consider McHyde’s probable Antichrist . . . and for sure, he’s head and shoulders above and beyond Dave Hunt’s Antichrist: Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachev in Global Peace and the Rise of the Antichrist.

PRINCE CHARLES OF WALES – McHyde’s Antichrist!
Free of charge, I am here to inform you that one amazing case has been patched together to bring his highness to full-bore Antichrist potential.

“He was born in 1948, the same year that Israel became a modern nation. He is a PRINCE (my caps) of the ancient people who came and destroyed the temple in Jerusalem (HAIL BRITANNIA)—the Romans. His lineage chart traces to every great world leader including King David (although British lineage officially dates only to 828 A.D. (King Egbert)); he is referred to as the “son of David.’ His name can be calculated to the numerical value of 666 by the ancient Hebrew method in both English and Hebrew. His calling card visually presents the composite beast made from the body of a leopard, the feet of a bear, and the mouth of a lion. His power, throne, and great authority have been given to him by a red dragon. He wants to lead the European Union (the ancient Roman Empire) and have dominion over all nations. His name is Prince Charles of Wales. He is the leading candidate to be the prophesied antimessiah.

“If you go to another believer (with any prophecy interest) and suggest that Prince Charles is the antichrist, then he will accept your idea right along with UFO alien abductions, one world conspiracy warnings of the illuminati, a hot internet rumor about some girl who dated a terrorist just before the attack, investing in gold coins, long-term storage of wheat in buckets, and the cow jumping over the moon. If the person you speak with has no interest whatsoever in end time prophecy, your suggestion of Prince Charles as the antichrist will confirm his worst suspicions of you being just plain ‘nuts.’ He will end the conversation with a cock-eyed look and the words, ‘Oh really. I need to go now.’ Further, saying Prince Charles IS the antichrist is outright slander and one of the most despicable things you can say of any public figure.” (The Prince Who is to Come, Tim McHyde)

The identity of the Antichrist—will be “unrevealed”—until the declaration of the infamous signature is affixed to the international consignment wherein “the many” shall sign on to his most comprehensive proposal for peace.

However, the Prince of Wales, according to McHyde—although Tim ultimately resigns from a complete distinctive identification of the king in waiting as the Son of Perdition—has the numerical value of “the name of a man.”

“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 six hundred and sixty-six” (Revelation 13:18) . . . so . . .

“The numbers we use today are Arabic or Roman numerals. Like Hebrew and Greek, English has no numerals of their own. In ancient times, before there were Arabic and Roman numerals, a simple decimal system was used for each letter. That is, the first ten letters were given the value of one through ten in ascending order. The next letter, however, was not an eleven, but instead twenty. Thereafter, each letter was ten more (20, 30, 40, etc.). At one hundred, the letter incremented by 100’s, (200, 300, 400, etc.). Both Hebrew and Greek contain 22 letters. So, the greatest value of any letter (Tav in Hebrew, Omega in Greek) was 400. the ancients simply used letters in place of numbers to indicate numerical values.

“When John wrote his prophecy giving the value of 666 to the name of the beast (antimessiah), the ancients had no difficulty understanding the intent . . . I (am) also a writer and aware of the origins of our English letters and language out of the ancient languages. For example, the first Hebrew letter is an aleph, Greek is alpha, and English is just plain “A.” The English alphabet originates from Greek (alpha beta) and the Hebrew (aleph bet). I was curious as to whether the gematria (numerical values for each letter) would yield any interesting results.

“I limited the system (computer program developed by Tim and a friend) only to the first 22 letters as the ancients had done (Hebrew and Greek only have 22 letters). Once the program was written, I was able to type in all the names for all world figures past and present, calculating the gematria for each with computer accuracy. I had no expectation whatsoever for anyone when I started entering names . . . then it happened. I entered the name ‘Prince Charles of Wales.’ The value displayed was 666 . . . no matter how many times I entered the name, the calculation was the same. Then it hit me. He is a Prince just as the Scripture says.” (The Prince Who is to Come)

McHyde goes on to demonstrate how that the name “Charles” means “man” or “manly.” And, Revelation 13:18 says that the number 666 is that of a “man.” McHyde sites the text, The Antichrist and a Cup of Tea, by Tim Cohen—offered by Lion and Lamb Ministries in which Cohen goes into extensive detail to substantiate his own thesis that the coat-of-arms of the Prince of Wales parallels the description given by John of the Beast in the Revelation.

Likewise, McHyde alludes to Revelation 17:10-11 . . .

“There are also seven kings. Five have fallen, one is, and the other has not yet come. And when he comes, he must continue a short time. The beast that was, and is not, is himself also the eighth, and is of the seven, and is going to perdition.”

Here, his gymnastics truly baffle . . .

“The reference to seven past kings (five have fallen, one is, and the other not yet come who remains a short while) is a historic description of the Holy Roman Empire. There have been seven Charles’ as Emperors of the Holy Roman Empire. World Book Encyclopedia and other reference documents summarize the history of the Holy Roman Empire by these seven kings. This is a historical fact. But what makes this prophecy such a puzzle is its reference to the beast being “also an eighth, and is one of the seven.” The answer is simple and right before us. They all have the name Charles – Prince Charles will be the eighth when he rules over the ancient Holy Roman Empire (the modern European Union). How is he one of the seven? He is a direct descendant of Charles VI through the Hapsburg line.”

In any event McHyde’s CSI is very extensive—nigh an indictment could be secured. Furthermore, he concludes that since the 11th Horn (which McHyde claims is “different” from the others, which it is) is, according to McHyde, different in the sense that Prince Charles was not elected to his position—whereas the other 10 horns were democratically elected.

THE GLOBALIZATION OF PRINCE CHARLES
A fundamental misunderstanding of virtually all Euro-Centric proponents of Antichrist abides—the United States of America must simply disappear as the world’s foremost super power—because America is simply not on their radar! Economically and militarily—let alone culturally and even religiously—hegemony is overtly occupied by the 800-lb. gorilla sitting in the living room of every home in the world! That monstrosity is envied and bemoaned by the entire earth: The United States of America . . . that doesn’t stop the McHydes of the earth:

“There are two competing models for the definition of world globalism. One is the UN (Note: This is the “biggie” for nearly all pre-millenarian/pre-tribbers, as well as American post-tribulationists.) model and the other European (Note: One simply cannot contemplate any other model, e.g., WTO, WORLD BANK, GATT, IMF, 82nd AIRBORNE, CFR, ad nausea, ad infinitum). The UN wants one great big community of everyone helping everyone. The European model divides the world into three parts: developed nations, developing nations, and undeveloped nations. The European model contends that there are not enough resources in the world for all nations to be developed and, therefore, part of the world needs to be sacrificed to meet the need of the other part. The European model also contends that there is not enough food to go around and the world population should be significantly reduced.”

Furthermore, McHyde points out that the coat-of-arms for Prince Charles is full of history and great meaning. Royal families are identified by their coat-of-arms—families originated their coat-of-arms from the Holy Roman Empire. Now, the Beast in the Revelation is a “composite creature depicting the past: the body is that of a leopard, the feet are from a bear, and the head (mouth) is that of a lion. The emperors of the Roman Empire were from France (leopard), Germany (bear), and England (lion. This is the definition of the Heraldic Beast from the college of heraldry and it has existed for the past 500 years. It also matches the exact description as seen by the Apostle John in the book of Revelation.” (Ibid.)

Now, the clincher . . .

“In conclusion, I have been asked many times if Prince Charles knows who he is. That is, if he is the antimessiah, does he know that he is? My answer is Yes. I believe that the antimessiah is patiently waiting for his time just as the Messiah waited for His. I believe he is trusting in the promise that was given by his father (viz. the “devil”?) . . . “Am I afraid of what Prince Charles might do with me identifying him? Nope. I’m small potatoes in this world. I’m just the “him” who did the calculation. ‘Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast.’”

WHAT HAPPENED TO AMERICA?
The fall of America—and the rise of the Beast—are bound, according to the post-trib view of McHyde, to its miraculous destruction foreseen in the Revelation and in his book: Planet X in Bible Prophecy and Mystery of Disunity (also included in the “package”) – the “Planet X” is WORMWOOD which is aimed directly at America!

Included in the $47 value (although bonuses bring the value to $97), one will find:

(1) The (post-tribulation) Rapture therefore only happens in a Sabbath year.
(2) The Great Tribulation must begin in year 4, the middle year, of a Sabbath year cycle (Dan. 9:27=Mt 24:15).
(3) Wormwood must come soon before that, probably in year 3 of a Sabbath year cycle.
(4) Since America falls between Wormwood’s passage (year 3 of cycle) and the start of the Tribulation (year 4), the timing of the Fall of America can also easily be ruled out for several years in advance at any point in time, which is very comforting (Note: Sort of a sop given to American evangelicals who were disappointed when the pre-trib rapture does not occur?)
(5) In other words, none of these events can happen at any moment, but can each actually only happen in one out of any given set of seven years!” (McHyde on Wormwood)
(. . . and, how to survive Planet X. . . .(Planet X)

America’s fate—as with virtually all pro-American prophets—is utterly incapacitated as a result of the pre-trib rapture, and now by Planet X occurring, according to McHyde at the Sixth Seal!

Her destruction and/or disappearance—whichever comes first—is simply a foregone conclusion which has to be made. How to remove the 800-lb. gorilla is now becoming the obsession of the millenarian masses.

A CONCLUDING WORD
What this author punctuates is the incredible and even willful ignorance which so many beloved brethren persist to display—and why? Because they genuinely believe that turn-of-the-nineteenth-century Premillenarianism is unalterably impervious to secular change? I doubt that. Times change—and, traditionally (though it be so ever brief)—Premillenarians have changed as much as their historicist counterparts.

Now, what disturbs is the frivolous attitude that pre-tribulational, Premillenarians are beginning to exude in reference to Daniel’s 70th Week! And, why not—we won’t be here in any event? Right? So we may fantasize all we wish without recrimination; furthermore, apolitical or patriotic indulgence is irrelevant—we’re outta here in any event—so, eat, drink, and be merry . . . and, remember, we’re looking for the “Blessed Hope” – not the Antichrist! Thus is born a superficial, materialistic, success-oriented, purpose-driven what’s-in-it-for-me Christianity that is abhorrent and hypocritical before the world—and, before the suffering Church throughout the world!

Compounding this absurdity is the complicity which the believing Church—in the name of good citizenry and patriotic duty . . . for God and country—while SIMULTANEOUSLY standing fast against the encroaching debauchery of a society under the destructive incursions of secular nihilism—strives to maintain a semblance of testimony!

Now, the West’s most visible spirituality ponders the defiance of a militant Islam and cowers before its outrage!

Brethren . . . if these are not the Last Days, then what are they?

I leave you with this meditation – both to comfort, to warn – to encourage, and to alert . . .

“‘Your words have been harsh against Me,’ Says the Lord,
‘Yet you say, ‘What have we spoken against You?’
You have said, ‘It is useless to serve God;
What profit is it that we have kept His ordinance,
And that we have walked as mourners before the Lord of hosts?
So now we call the proud blessed,
for those who do wickedness are raised up;
They even tempt God and go free.’

Then those who feared the Lord spoke to one another,
And the Lord listened and heard them;
So a book of remembrance was written before Him
For those who fear the Lord
And who meditate on His name.
‘They shall be Mine,’ says the Lord of hosts,
‘On the day that I make them My jewels.
And I will spare them as a man spares his own son who serves him.’
Then you shall again discern between the righteous and the wicked,
Between one who serves God and one who does not serve Him.”
(Malachi 3:13-18)

WHY I AM NOT A DISPENSATIONALIST John Nelson Darby is recognized as the father of dispensationalism later made popular in the United States by Cyrus Scofield's Scofield Reference Bible. Charles Henry Mackintosh, 1820–1896, with his popular style spread Darby's teachings to humbler elements in society and may be regarded as the journalist of the Brethren Movement. CHM popularised Darby more than any other Brethren author. As there was no Christian teaching of a “rapture” before Darby began preaching about it in the 1830s, he is sometimes credited with originating the "secret rapture" theory wherein Christ will suddenly remove His bride, the Church, from this world before the judgments of the tribulation. Dispensationalist beliefs about the fate of the Jews and the re-establishment of the Kingdom of Israel put dispensationalists at the forefront of Christian Zionism, because "God is able to graft them in again," and they believe that in His grace he will do so according to their understanding of Old Testament prophecy. They believe that, while the methodologies of God may change, His purposes to bless Israel will never be forgotten, just as He has shown unmerited favour to the Church, He will do so to a remnant of Israel to fulfill all the promises made to the genetic seed of Abraham. I am not a dispensationalist; it is unbiblical.
