Israel From the Perspective of the Bible

The Bible is emphatic that God ordained the Jewish people as His vehicle to bring Jesus into the world to redeem all who trust in Him. The Bible is also emphatic that, despite Israel's rejection of Jesus, God will someday obtain national righteousness from Israel, and a remnant will "look upon Him" whom their fathers pierced (John 18:37). During the thousand years of righteousness under Christ's rule, Israel will give their Messiah the praise and honour due to Him.

Yet, because Israel has not yet experienced such a change of heart, but rather, opposes Christ and his followers, our Lord and New Testament Scriptures warn Christians to be suspicious of the "whited sepulchers" of a religion based on the teachings of those who killed Christ, the Pharisees. Christ said, "beware of the leaven (teachings) of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy." (Mark 8:15) Paul said of the Jews, "beware of the concision." (Philippians 3:2) He also said of the Jews, that "from the standpoint of the gospel" they are enemies for your sake. (Rom. 11:28)

The balanced Christian, thus, recognizes God's long-term plan for the redemption of a remnant of Israel. At the same time, he is very wary of a system which, rejecting great light, has plunged into great spiritual darkness. Tragically, the church has been unable to retain this Biblical balance and perspective during the 20th century. Believing that to "bless" Israel means agreement with it and support of its policies, right or wrong, the church has bid godspeed to a wicked system. Far from redeeming it, it has become a partaker of Israel's injustices. By supporting Israel's atrocities against Palestinians, the church has alienated the Arab world against the gospel and encouraged the growth of international Arab terrorism.

Only by returning to the Biblical balance between love for Jewish souls, yet wariness of their sins, can the church escape moral blame and the kind of geo-political backlash from the Arab world that occurred on September 11, 2001.

Only 30% of US Evangelical Leaders Stand Behind Israel

Increasingly, tens of thousands of Christians visit Truthtellers.org and Rense.com, the largest anti-Zionist internet news site with over one million unique visits a month (Rense.com's readership now equals World Net Daily, the largest Christian pro-Israel internet news service).

This trend toward greater openness to a truly Biblical perspective is seen in a new Pew Research poll of 2,196 evangelicals worldwide, 16 percent of which included evangelical leaders in the United States. "Among evangelicals from the United States three-in-ten (30%) sympathize more with Israel. Thirteen percent favour Palestinians and nearly half (49 percent) say they sympathize with both equally.

The survey showed that many evangelical leaders do think for themselves about the Mideast, particularly after Israel's embargo in Gaza and terrorist attack on the "Free Gaza" flotilla. Many clearly reject pressure to support Israel by Jewish muscle groups such as ADL as well as evangelical media and authorities. John Hagee-style support of Israel does not describe all evangelicals!

Several Political Parties Also Hears Truth about Israel In AmericaTwo years ago, the National Prayer Network began sending our e-alerts to 850 evangelical chapters . Within several weeks, about 185 chapters demanded removal from our e-list. But soon the objections stopped. For nearly two years, about 650 chapters have received our articles with hardly a murmur. Clearly, they remain curious and tolerant of truth they find nowhere else.

Many evangelicals and may well be adding to the number of enlightened Christians worldwide. Independently and in the grassroots, their fairness, good sense, and respect for Biblical values may be planting the seeds for eventual enlightenment of the church and nation.

Why Don't They Speak Out?
Yet why are pastors and church leaders silent? As in Israel under Baal-worshipping Ahab and Jezebel, the powers of intimidation are overwhelming. God was worshipped by a tiny minority in Israel who had not bowed the knee to Baal.

Yet when Elijah challenged the false prophets, not one true believer had the courage to brave death and stand with him.

Today, militantly Zionist evangelicals swell the ranks of churches. If they hear the slightest hint of displeasure with Israel, they sound the alarm, "Anti-Semitism!" This sends shock waves through the membership of religious and conservative organizations, compelling leaders to quickly back away. The Anti-Defamation League relies on such devotees of Israel to suppress any potential rebellion. When criticism of Israel manifests itself publicly, ADL has traditionally used local media and Christian authorities to vilify the critic as a hateful anti-Semite. Local media figures, Christian leaders and seminary professors join in excoriating the offender.

This has been ADL's modus operandi for nearly a century. But today criticism of Israel pervades the nations, especially prevalent on college campuses. Abe Foxman’s shooting gallery is too crowded by influential, high-profile targets—including the UN, European politicians, prestigious academics, a new Gaza flotilla, and others. The League is increasingly too distracted to persecute mere local outbreaks of truth telling.

Like terrorists, ADL has largely depended on fear of what it can do if opposed. Yet Christian and conservative leaders should take courage. Like the watchman of Ezekiel 33, they are responsible before God to sound a complete warning of danger to all who listen. Scripture warns such watchmen that unless they are willing to speak only the whole truth, they would be better off not to lead. Failure to speak such truth results in "greater condemnation." (James 3:1)

It is time that evangelical leaders who are becoming enlightened do more than silently agree with truth. They must speak it to their audience and to each other. Brave leaders could educate together and overwhelm ADL's ability to crush individuals.

If the Pew report is representative then, of roughly 70,000,000 evangelicals worldwide, Christian critics of Zionism could number in the millions! This consensus represents tremendous political and educational power if those with like minds have the courage to find each other and coalesce into a united force for truth and freedom.

We Killed Jesus and We're Proud

There seems to be an iron glad theory floating around some Christian circles that for whatever reason Israel is God's chosen land and the Jews are Gods chosen people. The attached DVD may help to dispel some of those rumours. However, for those who are considering viewing the video there is a warning attached it contains some of the ugliest and foulest language that could ever be imaginable. Accordingly, one may therefore pose the question - are the Jews really Gods chosen people or is this just another one of those misinterpretations of the real truth that is so commonly read into the word of God?

The word of God teaches the Resurrection of the Dead and not the Rapture of the Church.

If one is to read the bible from cover to cover the word rapture is not even mentioned, no not once. As that is the case then please consider the following which may shed some light on what otherwise has been the greatest lie that Satan has ever managed to perpetrate over the modern day Christian Church - the alleged rapture of the church.

Quite clearly, the word of God does not teach anything at all about a rapture of the church, but rather the resurrection of the dead. The rapture is what many Christians believe to be that Jesus Christ is going to come for them before the great tribulation.

Is the rapture from the word of God? Let's turn to I Thessalonians 4 the place where many get the idea for the rapture.

I Thessalonians 4:13-18
The subject is where are the dead.V13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. asleep in Greek means to decease, to be dead. This is talking about people that are already dead not people that are living on earth now. The second our flesh body dies our soul goes back to God.

Ecclesiastes 12:7
V7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it. We can take comfort knowing that our loved ones who have passed on are with God our Father and not lying in a hole in the ground. The flesh body stays in the ground but our soul goes back to God. The people that have no hope are those that do not believe in Jesus Christ as the only begotten Son of God. V14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. This is talking about people that have passed on that believed in Jesus Christ as the Son of God. V15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. Prevent means to precede before hand, to have arrived at already. We are still talking about where the dead are the subject has not changed. This verse tells us that people that have died are already with Jesus. The people alive when Jesus returns will not be with Jesus before the people that have already passed away because they are already there. V16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: This tells us when Jesus will return and not before. This is not the rapture. The rapture is a lie and cannot be found in God's word. This is talking about the second coming of Jesus at the end of the tribulation. Jesus will come at the seventh trump and not before the seventh trump for anyone. Those that have died already rise first because they are already with Jesus. The second we die we go back to God our Father. V17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. This happens after the tribulation when Jesus returns as Lord of lords and King of kings. This is not talking about a rapture, there is no rapture. Clouds is symbolic for a mass of people.

Hebrews 12:1
V1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, When Jesus returns at the seventh trump the people alive on earth at that time will be changed into their spiritual bodies in the twinkling of an eye.

I Corinthians 15:52-53
V52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. V53 For this corruptible must put on in corruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. The rapture is a lie from Satan trying to trick God's children into believing in a easy way out. Always remember as long as we are still in our flesh bodies the true Christ has not returned yet. Satan will come back to this earth with supernatural powers saying he is Christ here to rapture you away but it is a lie. V18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words. We can comfort our loved ones and friends when they lose some one they love because we can tell them where their loved ones are when they pass away. The moment someone dies they go back to God our Father. You may be surprised to know that God's word does say something about people teaching you to fly away to try to save your soul. What does God's word say about this, let's go to Ezekiel 13 to find out.

Ezekiel 13:16-23
V16 To wit, the prophets of Israel which prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and which see visions of peace for her, and there is no peace, saith the Lord GOD Their will be no true peace until Jesus returns to this earth after the antichrist has been here and not before, for anyone. Some people believe in the false peace of the rapture and it is just that a false peace. The prophets talked about here are false prophets not teaching the true word of God. People telling you that you don't have to read the book of Revelation because you'll be gone. They are lying to you, there is no rapture and God is against people that tell you there is. V17 Likewise, thou son of man, set thy face against the daughters of thy people, which prophesy out of their own heart; and prophesy thou against them, This is telling people who know the truth to tell the truth to God's other children. The ones that prophesy out of their own heart are ones that go on teaching the lie that there is a rapture when God Himself said that it's not true. V18 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the women that sew pillows to all armholes, and make kerchiefs upon the head of every stature to hunt souls! Will ye hunt the souls of my people, and will ye save the souls alive that come unto you? The pillows and kerchiefs these false prophets use to cover the outstretched arms of Jesus by teaching the lie of the rapture. The people that teach others the rapture are leading them right to the arms of the antichrist. Nowhere in the word of God does it say that Jesus will come for anybody before the great tribulation. God asked if these false prophets will save these people that they lie to by teaching them the rapture. When in fact these false prophets are leading these people straight to death, the antichrist. Only Jesus Christ can save somebody. V19 And will ye pollute me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to slay the souls that should not die, and to save the souls alive that should not live, by your lying to my people that hear your lies? Some people are lying to God's children just for money. They are slaying souls by teaching people the rapture which will lead them right into the arms of the antichrist when he comes to earth claiming to be Jesus Christ. V20 Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against your pillows, wherewith ye there hunt the souls to make them fly, and I will tear them from your arms, and will let the souls go, even the souls that ye hunt to make them fly. God Himself is against the teaching of a quick escape to save your soul. God is saying that there is no rapture. The true Jesus Christ is not coming back for anyone until after the antichrist has already been on earth, God said so. God is against people that teach lies to His children about the rapture. It covers the outstretched arms of the true Jesus by leading His children right into the arms of the antichrist. V21 Your kerchiefs also will I tear, and deliver my people out of your hand, and they shall be no more in your hand to be hunted; and ye shall know that I am the LORD. God will save His people from the lie of the rapture by giving the truth in His word. Read the word on your own and ask God to give you understanding in His word so you can see the truth about the rapture. V22 Because with lies ye have made the heart of the righteous sad, whom I have not made sad; and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, by promising him life: The righteous is Jesus Christ, we all fall short to His righteousness. God is telling us by people teaching the lie of the rapture Jesus becomes sad. Sad because they are being deceived and lead strait to the antichrist. By teaching the rapture people strengthen the hand of Satan who is the antichrist. V23 Therefore ye shall see no more vanity, nor divine divinations: for I will deliver my people out of your hand: and ye shall know that I am the LORD. God will deliver His people by giving them the truth in His word.

In II Thessalonians 2:1-12
it talks about the return of Jesus Christ. It tells us their are certain things that must happen before Jesus returns to this earth.

II Thessalonians 2:1-12
V1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, Beseech means to ask or request a person to do something. This is telling us to pay attention because this tells us what must happen before Jesus returns. V2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. This is saying don't believe people when they say Jesus Christ can come at any time. There are things that must happen before Jesus returns. V3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Don't let anyone deceive you, read God's word with understanding. This verse tells us that Jesus will not return until the son of perdition be revealed. Perdition means to perish and die. Satan is the only one who has been sentenced to death by God so far.

Ezekiel 28:11-19
V11 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, V12 Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. V13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. V14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. V15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. V16 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. V17 Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee. V18 Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee. V19 All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more.

John 17:12
V12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in Thy name: those that Thou gavest Me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled. II Thessalonians verse 3 tells us that Jesus will not come for anyone until Satan is revealed. Their is no rapture. Jesus will not come for anybody until that happens. Satan is the one that deceives the world and that can be read in

Revelation 12:9 and 20:10 Revelation 12:9
V9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

Revelation 20:10
V10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. V4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. Satan is the antichrist and will return to this earth with supernatural powers able to have lighting fall from heaven. Many will be deceived and think that he is Jesus here to rapture them away. Satan will sit in the temple of God which is in Jerusalem. V6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. V7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. Satan will be cast out of heaven down to earth to play the roll of Jesus Christ. Satan will say that he is here to rapture you away but as always Satan is lying. Satan will be cast out of heaven by Michael in the last days.

Revelation 12:7-9
V7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, V8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. V9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. This will happen before the true Jesus returns to this earth. The true Jesus will not come for any one until Satan is already here on earth. V8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: This is when Satan is on this earth saying he is Jesus here to rapture you away. Then the true Jesus returns to earth as King of kings and Lord of lords and Satan is bound for a thousand years.

Revelation 20:1-3
V1 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. V2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, V3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season. V9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, Jesus returns after Satan has already been on earth claming to be Jesus saying he is here to rapture you away. Satan is the antichrist and he will come before the true Jesus Christ. V10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. Many will be deceived by Satan because he is the king of deception. He will have supernatural powers and many will believe that he is Jesus because they did not receive the truth in God's word. We need to read the word of God on our own and ask Him to give us understanding in His word. Don't believe what anyone tells you read God's word for your self it's your life. V11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: V12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. People who don't read God's word with understanding and do not believe in the truth of His word will go on believing in lies. We are to study God's word.

II Timothy 2:15
V15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. Read God's word and ask Him to give you understanding in His word. The rapture is a total lie from Satan himself. Nowhere in God's word does it say that Jesus will come back for any one before Satan comes to earth as the antichrist. As long as we are still in our flesh bodies the true Jesus Christ has not returned yet. Be blessed as always

WAKE UP AUSTRALIA -- BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!!!

There is no Australian Prime Minister that I can ever personally recall who was more unpopular in the polls than what the current Prime Minister Julia Gillard is at the moment. Even as I write this piece there must be rumblings within the higher up echelons of the Labor Party because of this?

Nevertheless, one would still imagine that there is nothing all that dramatic that is going to be done relative to the situation just as long as the elections are as far away off in the distance as what they are at the moment?

One of the main reasons for her unpopularity is that she is acting with a relentless determination that I have never ever seen before from anyone who has ever held the office of the Australian Prime Minister, to pursue and bring into law, a Carbon Tax. That has to be achieved (in her mind at least) well before she is hoisted out of government at the next election, if she lasts that long at least?

Even before the last election she promised everyone who was of voting age that there would never ever be a Carbon Tax if she were ever elected as the Prime Minister - a promise that she very quickly reneged on and retracted just as soon as she was elected.

Because of what she had said before the last election that has now proven to be nothing more than a bare faced liar it is a small wonder that there are so many people who are calling her not just Julia, but J-liar?

Simply put. there is really nothing at all that she says relative to any subject matter that can be treated with any real credibility at all.

Basically, the policies of this current government have resulted in one disaster after another right back from the time that they were first elected. There is really no way at all that I could ever see her re-elected as the Prime Minister even if she still holds the office when election time comes around.

It must be highly unlikely that she does not know that she is committing political suicide by continuing to pursue this Carbon Tax? Even though she is under enormous pressure from the general populace to relinquish the idea of a Carbon Tax, the pressure that she must be feeling from her political masters must be even greater, otherwise should not be acting in the manner that she is?

One can only imagine that she must be being told that if she does not tow the line and introduce the tax she will lose her job immediately? If the political commentators are right in what they are saying relative to Gillard then it seems that she will do and say just about anything to stay in power?

Even today she has come onto the local media and espoused what I would call a load of complete and utter BS relative to the introduction of a Carbon Tax as there was virtually nothing that was said that could be believed or treated with any real integrity by any means.

There was mention that the levels of Carbon monoxide were at their highest levels for a million years? As if those sort of records would even go back that far anyway? With her there is nothing but one liar after another as she continues to drag this once great and prosperous country right down the gurgler.

The Greens now have the majority of power in the senate. What that means is that what we now have is Julia Gillard, an atheist Prime Minister shacked up with her boyfriend, and Bob Brown, a homosexual defacto Prime Minister running Australia. How much longer God is going to turn his back on this kind of debauchery remains to be seen.

Rightly so, PRIME-MINISTER JULIA GILLARD HAS BEEN CHARGED WITH MISPRISION (CONCEALMENT OF TREASON). Others, including Judges, Police, Magistrates, Public Servants, Pastors, Media and Reporters, who have contributed to concealing the fact of this action, are also charged with Misprision.

People don't realise. For any public servant to conceal, hide, or aid the crime of TREASON is to be guilty of the same offence. And these persons cannot hold any public office whilst under the charge of Treason.

NWO plans uncovered; The NWO are the World Banking Cartel who own all 'Reserve Banks". They control the world economy, they have the 'rights' to print the money for all Countries under the UN, and consequently they make trillions of dollars in 'Fractional Reserve Lending' and they dictate the price of Gold, making huge profits from the 'highs' and 'lows' -

Yet they PAY NO TAXES, and own their own FREE SOVEREIGN STATES in England and USA with diplomatic immunity, at "The Crown London" and “Washington" and the third in their circle of NWO is the 'Vatican Sovereign State' They reap in trillions of dollars interest daily from all UN member Country's Government DEBTS and are forcefully promoting more increased debts before wiping each Government's control of the country out. To gain control over each Government, their favourite MO is to provide 'Bail-Out' funds and to offer 'Stimulus-packages' all of which will never be repaid.

Governments are 'CONNED' to sell off their public owned assets such as transport, shipping, rail etc as the NWO UN take over can then take full control of these corporations without the need to gain public referenda approval. UNIONS ARE UP IN ARMS ABOUT THESE FRAUDULENT SALES.

Governments are coerced into taking more loan money to use as 'stimulus packages' to improve the economy so as to get governments into huge debts they will have no chance of repaying, preparing the way for the NWO to come in and take over all assets. What's more the AGENDA 21 urges Gov's to sell off their assets such as Railways, Transport, Shipping, Insurance, Water, Power, Banking, on the pretext that it will help reduce the huge debts.

This is farcical and the real reason is for NWO takeovers, to gain easier control over private corporations than they would have with public owned utilities, so it is to their advantage to get the Government of the day to off load them before the NWO takeover..

This shows how 'gullible' our Government is to the get duped by the NWO rhetoric. We have been sold out since 1975 by all Leaders and every Government. We have only ONE chance to stop it! keep pestering your 'Member' with these facts, and sever the UN Treaties.

Under TREATIES

The U.N. Charter, US Congress has established the Charter as the Supreme Law of the land (Fugi v. State of California, 1950-52). and All Global Member States of the UN including Australia have (Illegally) sworn an allegiance to this UN Foreign power, and to get any STATE to do this- The UN Instructed the GILLARD Australian Federal Government to 'Suspend the Constitution' avoiding the need for a referendum.

If you regard this as the most serious threat to Australian way of life and our freedom - Join the new party- Australian Sovereignty Party - Urgently.

Following are just some of the policies of the United Nations:

* Control of all zoning/States matters in all Member States and the control of our National parks, Rivers and Historical sites, Barrier Reef etc.
* Control over whether women are allowed to have babies.
* Control over population
* Control over all food sources.
* Control over our Farms.
* Control over all Land and Property
* Control over the economic and judicial policies of all nations (Member States inc Australia).

Programs are being processed to create a tax on citizens of all Member States as a permanent method of UN funding. The Fraudulent 'Carbon Tax' is designed to fund the WHO, UN NWO Security forces.

The United Nation has its own Army and United States soldiers and Military from all Member States must swear allegiance to this foreign government.
MEMBER STATES have been set up to roll over into UN Control, so far these STATES are bankrupt, and the IMF will take over Governance and initiate the IMF Banking Cartel's policies in Argentina, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Greece, more soon to follow... and Australia next!

Enter one Antichrist

The Final World Empire of the European Union in the eyes of the carnal, or worldly man.

I met a man today who was travelling back to France after being over here in Australia on business. He told me that he travels the world as a part of his day to day activities meeting up with various peoples as a financial advisor.

One would suppose that as his job is to communicate with all peoples of all nations and languages (with English being the universal language) he would have to have a fairly strong command of the English language so that he could perform his job. Accordingly, even though he was predominately a French speaker his English, although broken, was quiet good.

As I was travelling with him in the same direction for a fairly lengthy period of time I thought this was a very good opportunity to witness to him relative to things of the Lord? In particular, I thought that this was a good time to witness to him relative to the viewpoint that I hold relative to the EU being the Final World Empire before the return back onto the earth of the Lord Jesus Christ?

As he was a resident of France, one would suppose that he would have a fairly strong grasp of the culture, of not only his native France, but of the general area of the EU as well? As he did?

However, when I explained to him that there was going to be one man who was going to take over the presidency of the EU, and that it was going to be that man who have total control over every person within the sphere of the EU from the cradle to the grave, that was not something that he seemed to except as being factual at all?

Furthermore, when I said that there may be a president of the EU duly elected sometime next year in much the same manner as the president of the United States is elected he, more or less, then went on to say that such a proposition was nigh on impossible to even contemplate at all.

He had said that each and every nation was far too selfish and concerned with their own well being to be ever bothered about the other nations within the EU for that to ever happen. Furthermore, He then went on to say that even though the EU had a single currency there was no way in the whole world that every nation within the EU was going to give up and hand their sovereignty over to one man.

However, the facts of the matter are that once the member nations had given up their own particular currencies and accepted the EU as being their currency that was effectively what the 27 member nations of the EU have done.

He was still right up to a point though. Nevertheless the only problem was that as a non Bible reader he could not see the all over picture? In the eyes of the carnal/fleshy man there was no way in the whole world that he could ever see this happening. Just as those who are not in the Lord could ever see this happening as was the instance in his case.
However happen it will, and because the Lord says it will happen he will place in the minds of the 500 million or so odd citizens of the EU for it to happen, simply because the Bible prophecies must be fullfilled, as they will be fullfilled as surely as the sun is to rise in the morning.

GREECE'S debt problems could spiral into a world banking crisis, the International Monetary Fund warned yesterday.

Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou and European Council president Herman Van Rompuy after their crisis talks at the EU headquarters in Brussels.

The IMF, which has contributed to the bailouts of Greece, Portugal and Ireland, urged the 17 eurozone countries to take "decisive action" and turn themselves into a "fully integrated" monetary union to prevent the debt crisis spilling around the world.

The call to action came as researchers in London warned that the "ultimate burden" from Greece defaulting on its debts could fall heavily on the US and British banks because they were so deeply tied into the world financial system.

Fathom Financial Consulting will say in a major report to be published overnight: "The notion that Greece can fall alone is fanciful and dangerous. Greece will not suffer alone -- the implications of the default will reverberate far and wide."

Eurozone finance ministers yesterday increased the pressure on Athens by refusing to release the next promised bailout cheque of E12 billion ($16.3bn) to pay Greek debts until its government approves austerity measures and a huge privatisation program. The delay in approval sent a chill through the financial markets, with the euro losing ground against the US dollar and bank shares sliding.

A mission of eurozone, IMF and European Central Bank officials were expected to arrive in Greece overnight to ensure their demands have been written into draft Greek legislation.

An official from one eurozone country said: "If we gave the green light for the E12bn, then it would be a blank cheque -- and then the credibility of the zone is at stake as well."

In a report on the euro area, the IMF said the sovereign debt crisis threatened to overwhelm an otherwise favourable economic outlook for the region. Action was needed in the interests of the entire world, the fund said. "With deeply intertwined fiscal and financial problems, failure to undertake decisive action could rapidly spread the tensions to the core of the euro area and result in large global spillovers."

Danny Gabay, an economist at Fathom, said: "We are heading towards a disorderly unwinding of this, and to me it is palpable how much like the Lehman debacle it is. Someone sold a lot of insurance and guarantees against this sort of event. From the data, that someone looks like Britain and the US."

The British banks' exposure to eurozone countries, including Greece, Italy, Spain, Ireland, France and Germany, amounts to E412bn. This includes contracts insuring investors against debt defaults. The equivalent figure in the US is far higher, at $US1.8 trillion ($1.7 trillion).

Some leading analysts fear Greece will be unable to survive in the euro area and could be forced to exit. Mark Hoban, a British Treasury minister, ducked questions in Britain's House of Commons yesterday on whether the euro would survive in its current form. But the former foreign secretary, Jack Straw, said the euro "cannot last" as he urged the government "to be open with the British people" about the alternatives to a European single currency. The Labour MP said there was a "mood change" in Europe, with former europhiles "contemplating the end of the euro as we know it".

The IMF's European director, Antonio Borges, said: "We have an imbalanced system, and what we are trying to say is that in a process like monetary union, until you become fully integrated like the United States with a fully integrated monetary union, you have these obstacles which magnify the problems."

Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou was expected to face a confidence vote in his new cabinet overnight, and has vowed to push through a promised E28bn austerity package by the end of the month. A widely opposed E50bn privatisation program has yet to be signed off by the parliament.

Eurozone ministers have decided to meet on July 3 to check Greece has adopted all the EU-IMF measures, and then release its next bailout payment.

Will Religious Freedom in the Middle East lead to the treaty of Daniel Chapter 9 Verse 27?

European Council President Herman Van Rompuy (C) speaks during a news conference after a meeting with religious leaders in Brussels May 30, 2011.

There is something astir at the moment within the EU that is really beginning to raise alarm bells with yours truly?

Even though I have been a Christian for a number of years now, I have only really had an interest in the Bible prophecies of the end times for a very brief period of time, perhaps a few years?

But even in that very short period of time what is happening now in the EU is something of the like that I have never ever seen before?

What I am referring to is the unification of the various religious groups in the Middle East that look very much to me like what is happening could be the beginnings of the treaty of Daniel Chapter 9 Verse 27?

Daniel 9:27

King James Version (KJV)

²⁷And 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.

Certainly, the presidents of the EU Commission, Jose Manuel Barroso and the EU Council of Ministers, Herman Van Rompuy, are working in concurrence with one another to achieve the objective mentioned above, that is, to unify all religions in the Middle East? Quite frankly, I find this type of information to be quite mind boggling?

PARIS: European Union leaders assured senior religious figures on Monday they would defend the freedom of belief in the Middle East as part of their support for the spread of democracy in the Arab world. European Commission President Jose Barroso told 20 Christian, Muslim, Jewish and Buddhist leaders at an annual consultation in Brussels that the EU aimed to promote democracy and human rights. Several of the Christian representatives present expressed concern about religious freedom in the mostly Muslim Arab world, which has seen more freedom of speech in recent months but also more violent attacks on Christian minorities in some countries. Barroso said the changes in the Arab world were “of historic proportions” and compared the challenge of anchoring democracy there to the task the EU found in post-communist Europe. “I strongly believe these challenges cannot be met without the active contribution of the religious communities,” Barroso told the meeting. Democratic rights included freedom of religion and belief, he stressed. European Council President Herman Van Rompuy said “there is no contradiction between Islam and democracy. This period of openness must be maintained after the revolutions and religious and other minorities must be respected.” Christian Concerns Rotterdam Bishop Adrianus van Luyn, head of the COMECE commission of Roman Catholic bishops conferences in the EU, said the progress and stability the EU sought in the Arab world would depend on an improved relationship between religions there. “This requires freedom for all faiths, an end to the discrimination of smaller religious communities and the participation of moderate forces in the construction of society,” he said. In recent months, Arab Christians and Muslims have both prayed together and clashed, he said. “Religious differences have often been manipulated or even whipped up on purpose,” he said. “The role of the different regimes in this is unclear.” Warsaw Cardinal Kazimierz Nycz said Christians in Europe were watching events in the Arab world “with hope, but also with fear for the future of those societies.”“Repeated attacks on Christian communities are additional reasons for concern,” he said. “If one day the Christian communities in the Middle East disappeared … moderate Muslims would lose their natural partners.”Germany’s top Protestant leader, Nikolaus Schneider, said the EU should help foster diversity in the Middle East.“Pluralism is not a curse word, it’s necessary for the existence of a free and democratic society,” said Schneider, chairman of the Evangelical Church in Germany (EKD) umbrella group of Protestant churches. End of quote

As if he were the only one that we needed to be concerned with in the end times, there has been a concerted effort by so many Christians over the centuries to try and indentify the Antichrist.

However, there are two men who will (or are) working in conjunction with one another to run the EU as the final word empire. They are the presidents of the EU Council of Ministers, Herman Van Rompuy and the president of the EU Commission Jose Manuel Barraso. see the aforementioned.

Remember, it was not all that long ago that Barraso appointed Van Rompuy from out of total obscurity to the presidency of the Council of Ministers? It is Barraso who is binding various denominations in the Middle East together in what looks like could result in some sort of a pact or treaty?

Van Rompuy is there in agreement with what is going on.

Accordingly, what that now looks like to me is that Barroso could be the False Prophet (for the reason mentioned above) and that Van Rompuy could simply going to sign off on some sort of a treaty Barrasso has already worked out?

If that were ever to be the case then there would be no doubts at all that Van Rompuy is the Antichrist?

I still cannot say that what I have suggested above is going to pan out precisely as I have said. However, the other facts presented here are not away out there pie in the sky type of stuff.

Accordingly, if there is anyone out there who reads this then let then draw their own conclusions with regards to the signing of the covenant of Daniel. Actually, the False Prophet is worse than the Antichrist? Be blessed

In light of the recent third bailout package within the EU there is now further proof that Herman Van Rompuy could be the Antichrist after all?

French president Nicholas Sarkozy

The Antichrist is not necessarily a man, but the office of the full time presidency of the EU. For the plan of salvation to be complete and perfect the remainder of the Bible prophecies must be fullfilled - and that includes the rise to power of a man the Bible calls the Beast.  

Known commonly as the Antichrist when a man enters the office of the EU presidency he then becomes that Beast. Whether or not he knows he is going to be appointed to the office of the EU presidency years before he actually is remains open to debate? More than likely he does?

Even though I am just as guilty of this myself as the rest, there are many Christians who think there are conditions attached to the fulfilment of the Bible prophecies. That is, this or that has to happen before I am convinced that one particular prophecy has been fullfilled. However, the facts of the matter are that once a prophecy has been fullfilled it is not conditional on other prophecies being fullfilled later on.

I make this statement in the light of the facts of the first ever full time president of the EU being appointed at the beginning of last year with the resultant scepticism being shown by some Christians that this man could not possibly be the Antichrist because he does not look like the Antichrist, (he does not have the charisma to be the Antichrist) as if they were to know what the Antichrist looked like to begin with?

There was even one particular British MP who said the EU president had all the appearance of a low grade bank clerk. Looks are deceptive, and after all isn't that the game of Satan, lies and deception. When Christians were looking for a charismatic figure to come to power as the first ever full time president of the EU what they got this ordinary looking fellow instead. As such they had been deceived by his outside appearance.

However the facts of the matter still remain when it comes to the appointment of Herman Van Rompuy as the first ever full time president of the EU the Bible prophecies have been fullfilled.

Furthermore, we are also told that after coming to power as the president of the EU the Antichrist subdues three nations. (see the below attachment) There has now been a third nation that has been offered a bailout package within the EU fulfilling the prophecies to a tee of three nations the Antichrist subdues in coming to power.

But there are two men that run the EU in conjunction with each other. The Antichrist mentioned above and the False Prophet. The False Prophet does not seek authority for himself but gives his authority over, and acts on behalf of the Antichrist. This second beast if far worse than the first beast as is it he is the one who seems to be doing all of the dirty work on behalf of the first beast?

Accordingly, consider the current French president Nicholas Sarkozy? Isn't that exactly what Sarko is doing at the moment as he acts on behalf of the EU president, when he really does not have any real power at all? It is the EU president who has the power base?

Go back a few years now and think about what has taken place and how the EU president initially came into power from out of nowhere? He was appointed by Sarko and Merkel, so right back then Sarko did not seek the role himself but gave his authority over to Van Rompuy.

The brutal 42 month reign of the Antichrist begins after the signing of a seven year Middle East peace treaty. The Antichrist doesn't design the peace treaty he signs simply signs off on something that others have designed. It seems to me (and I may be wrong) but isn't that what Sarko is doing at the moment - designing a Middle East peace treaty? If there is to be a separate Palestinian state by September as Sarko has suggested maybe the case, that fact alone would also seem to indicate there would also be a peace treaty shortly thereafter?

Bad news for those who follow the rapture doctrine, particularly the pre tribulation nonsense?

That would also indicate that the Antichrist is already in power. There is also no real value in thinking in hypothetical terms of what is going to happen in the future by trying to hypothesis the current EU president is going to step down in the middle of next year.

The facts of the matter are that he can continue on for as long as he likes. Think in terms of the NOW and not what one thinks is going to happen in the future. 9 times out of 10 one is usually wrong when trying to do just that, as only God really knows the future. However, the facts that I have presented above relate to what is happening right now and not sometime well into the future.
