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)

If there is to be a Pre-Tribulation Rapture the time is now beginning to run extremely short---

The late and great Barry Smith used to preach that the aim of the Antichrist was Global Domination. Yet, even after being appointed as the first ever full time president of the EU from out of total obscurity the first subject matter Herman Van Rompuy spoke on was World Government. Even then there were those with whom it did not tweak as to just who he was, just as there are still so many who are being fooled to this day. When it seems that those studying the end times were looking for was someone who had a more charismatic appearance, A.F; an alleged expert on the EU called him a non starter, more than likely because of his rather drab appearance, (as if looks count for everything) when outside appearances really count for very little at all? I have also noted that there are certain interpretations of the scripture that become quite popular for a time; however, when the prophecy is actually fulfilled there is hardly a word spoken, as most scholars simply then go and bury their heads in the sand and hope that it will all simply go away. However, there are still those out there in my age bracket who remember what they were taught years and years beforehand, and as a result when we see it taking place don’t mind telling the world what is clearly right around the corner, even though the majority quite clearly do not want to know about it.

There is no clearer evidence to verify that fact other than to see responses, or more correctly lack or responses, to some of the postings that I have made at this BlogSpot on the subject matter of the confirmation of the treaty of Daniel Chapter 9, Verse 27. That is to take place in June of this year, along with the ratification of the treaty that gives the Pope a Seat at King David's Tomb in Jerusalem, both at the same time.

The timing for the alleged rapture of the church centres on the signing of a seven year covenant by the Antichrist.
Could it just be that there are those out there who are counting on being taken up into Heaven without having to die first and any talk of the confirmation of the treaty of Daniel Chapter 9, Verse 27 frightens then somewhat? If that is the instance with some, it then beggars the question, where or where is your faith? For those who hold fast to the pre-tribulation theory there is still a few more months to go before the covenant is signed. Accordingly, there still may be time for the Rapture to take place before the signing. If there is to be a Rapture at all, I will be one of the first ones to grab hold of it. Certainly, I am not into predicating future events as all that I like to deal with are cold hard facts as they present themselves at any one time. As that is the case, then all I can say is good luck to those who believe there is going to be a Rapture before the signing of the treaty. My view still remains the same; I still think that it simply does not make any sense at all. That is not to say that in the instance of the timing for the alleged Rapture I may be well wide of the mark.

Two Covenants to be signed in June, a Seat for the Pope at King David's Tomb and the Covenant of Daniel Chapter 9, Verse 27.

The Black Pope

The bits and pieces of the Devils Jigsaw are finally beginning to fall into place. It looks to me like we are finally going to know the whole truth when it comes to the correct identity of both the Antichrist and the False Prophet. After having read the attached article I was immediately struck by the timing for the ratification of the both agreements, June this year. Now scroll down a page and go to the last article that I had written relating to the signing of the covenant of Daniel Chapter 9 Verse 27. From there you will also note that it also is to be signed in June of this year. I have looked around the Internet quite extensively to see what the other End Time’s blogs have been saying relative to A Seat for the Pope at King David's Tomb. I have found at least one of those blogs who seemed to believe there was some tie in between the aforementioned and the signing of the covenant of Daniel. That blogger was more correct than what he realizes. The timing for the signing of the seat for the Pope and the ratification of the seven year Euro treaty is nigh on impeccable. Both are both being signed at exactly the same time. If that is a coincidence then I am a monkey’s uncle. Please, no rude replies to that statement. What has been mentioned above then beggars the question Is Rome planning to soon move the throne of the Papacy to Jerusalem? Moving the Papal throne from Rome to Jerusalem would carry enormous End Times religious global implications, just as the signing of the covenant of Daniel Chapter 9, Verse 27 quite clearly will. It now seems that we are right at the end of the current age with the return of the Lord now extremely close at hand?

A Seat for the Pope at King David's Tomb
By Giulio Meotti

Israel seems to have sold Jerusalem to the Vatican.

An historic agreement has been drafted between Israel and the Vatican. The Israeli authorities have granted the Pope an official seat in the room where the Last Supper is believed to have taken place, on Mount Zion in Jerusalem, and where David and Solomon, Jewish kings of Judea, are considered by some researchers, to also be buried.

It is the culmination of a long campaign by the Catholic Church to regain religious stewardship over the place where Jesus is supposed to have broken bread and drunk wine with his disciples on the eve of his crucifixion.

This is an enormous issue pushed through without any public debate.

According to our sources, the agreement, which is expected to be ratified next June, gives the Pope a “special authority” over the second floor of the building, so that Christian pilgrims will be able to celebrate religious functions like Pope John Paul did in 2000.

The agreement constitutes Israel’s capitulation to the Vatican’s efforts to “Christianize” the holy site, like when a Catholic convent was built in Auschwitz.

The Catholic Church has long wanted control over part of the area on Mt. Zion so as to turn it into an international religious center for Catholics. The blueprint of the agreement reads as follows: “The Vatican hands over this use of the Cenacle to the Custody of the Holy Land which will keep the Cenacle open from 6 AM to 8 AM for the celebration of the Holy Mass”.

In the long term, the gesture will increase tensions between Jews and the large assets of the Vatican. The Church has long been working to reduce Jewish rights in Jerusalem and in the Old City. Now, after the Muslim Waif authority expelled the Christians from the Temple Mount and turned it into a mosque, it’s the turn of the Vatican to lay its hands on the Jewish Jerusalem.

The Custody of the Holy Land, the Franciscan order who, with Vatican approval, is in charge of the holy sites, campaigns with the Arabs against Israel.

As far back as May 2000, Yasser Arafat met Islamic and Christian clergymen at the presidential offices in Ramallah to back Palestinian Arab sovereignty over Jerusalem. Among the clergymen who attended the meeting, Diodoros I, patriarch of the Greek Orthodox Church, Torkom II, patriarch of the Armenian Orthodox Church, Catholic Patriarch

Michel Sabbath and officials from the Custody of the Holy Land.
"An official meeting took place in Ramallah, Palestine, at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the State of Palestine". This is the official note of the Vatican press office about the meeting between the Catholic officials and the PLO representatives which took place this week.

The Vatican is also asking that Israel hand over to the Vatican’s control dozens of sites, 19 in Judea and Samaria and 28 in Jerusalem. The Catholic Church wants to discuss some properties on Mount of Olives, Har Hazeitim, which is the very history of the Jewish people. If you want to keep Jerusalem united, you have to keep Har Hazeitim. The Vatican knows that.

In 1989 charges were made by the Catholic authorities that Israel desecrated the Cenacle on Mount Zion. The charges, which appeared in the Italian bishops’ newspaper Avvenire, said that the Israelis put a memorial plaque on the roof of the Cenacle. The plaque was put in place after the 1948 War of Independence in memory of soldiers who fell in the Old City and whose burial place was unknown. Every year, the bereaved families cleaned the plaque.

Why did the Catholic authorities complain? Last year a similar charge was made from the Catholic authorities that Israel wants to “Judaize” Mount Zion.

Should the Vatican gain sovereignty over Mount of Zion, millions of Christian pilgrims will flock to the site, and this will threaten the Israeli presence in the Old City’s Jewish Quarter and Jewish access to the Western Wall.

The Vatican wants the Jews out of the Old City and apparently Israel’s government is agreeing with them. Turning the Cenacle into an active church is also a way of desecrating the holiness of the site known as the Tomb of David.

The Vatican and the Palestinian Liberation Organisation expressed a common position in the Basic Agreement of 15 February 2000, intended to support the recognition of a special statute for the City of Jerusalem. In the memorandum, signed by Vatican officials and the PLO, an organization dedicated to the mass deportation of Israel’s Jews, the Catholic Church wants Israel relinquishing sovereignty at the Western Wall and the Temple Mount. The Vatican-PLO agreement’s preamble on Jerusalem shows that the Vatican's attitude on Israel's capital is still stuck in the unforgivable anti-Semitic rhetoric of the 1940s.

Until 1948, Christian access to the Cenacle was severely limited, because it was used as a mosque. Since then, the State of Israel is committed to protecting the holy places of all religions, and guaranteeing the right of worship for all faiths.

But no Israeli government must tolerate any policy of division, “shared control” or “internationalization” that opens the door to a return to the Arab apartheid of Jordanian occupation between 1948 and 1967.

Jerusalem is not for sale. For thousands of years, the Cenacle area was almost always totally closed off to Jews.

Sovereignty over Mount Zion is politics, not only religion. The day after the Pope celebrated a mass on Mt. Zion in 2000, he went to Yasser Arafat headquarter to support the Palestinians’ right to return.

A few months later, the Oslo war began. And Jews were scarified again on the altar of “peace”. It was their last supper.

This week, the Vatican in its official documents began referring to the "State of Palestine".

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.

The Probability of the Covenant of Daniel Being Signed by this JUNE is now Extremely High

The president of the EU - Herman Van Rompuy

I am only dealing with the facts as they present themselves. To add anything to what now has already become quite clear is simply delving into the realms of hypothesis which is somewhere that I choose not to go. As that is the case, the following then is not a weak attempt at scaremongering. However, just about everything that every prophetic teacher has been instructing over the years is just about to come to a dramatic conclusion with the signing of the covenant of Daniel Chapter 9, Verse 27 later on this year.

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.

European Council president, Herman Van Rompuy, have 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. The presidents of the European Commission and Parliament will meet the Taoiseach Enda Kenny in Dublin on Thursday as efforts to agree a seven-year budget intensify. Mr Kenny will host Jose Manuel Barroso and Martin Schulz for intensified discussions of the deal reached by state leaders earlier this month. Noticeably absent in the discussions has been Van Rompuy himself. 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?

The confirmation of the treaty is going to take place sometime around June of this year. Even though date setting is never ever recommended, this date is not some whimsical, way out there with the fairies type of date that has been set without any real evidence to back it up. Instead, it is a date that has been mentioned for the ratification of the seven year treaty. That date also aligns in perfectly with the prophecies of Revelation Chapter 13 which tell us that the Beast reigns for just 42 months, which commences after the signing of the covenant?

The chronological order for the appearance of the Beasts of Revelation is the Antichrist first and then the False Prophet -- and as that is the case, even though I and so many others have scoffed at the idea of the next Pope being the last Pope, I may have to eat my own words soon enough. Accordingly, those who have been saying that the current Pope was asked to step aside to make way for the False Prophet maybe right after all?

We are now right on the verge of Global Money Crash and the Third World War. Make no mistake, the debt ceilings of the more prosperous nations such as the U.S; Australia and the UK have been reached, and in some cases, exceeded. This has been a deliberate act to align the more prosperous nations (as well as the other nations concerned) into a catastrophic money crash, leading right into a New World Order. The nations will then hand their all over to just one man, the one the word of God describes as the Beast. It is then going to be HE that will take the world right into the worst time it has ever had to go through.

I do not believe there is going to be an event known as the Rapture of the Church that is going to take place BEFORE the signing of the seven year covenant. Accordingly, if the saints are still here a couple of days after the signing then that is the finish of the pre-tribulation theory of the Rapture. However, as with everything else that has to do with the ratification of the Bible Prophecies - until an event actually takes place it cannot be proven as being right or wrong either way?

Buying and Selling with QR Barcodes on your Cell Phone

Apps on phones so what next - the Mark of the Beast?

The mobile phones, ever so popular right around the world, have already commenced utilizing QR Barcodes (another word for the Matrix Data Barcode) for buying and selling. Once the phones start to become either lost or stolen it is then probable that the same apps that are now on the phones are going to be scorched onto the skin for buying and selling thereby bringing to real life the Mark of the Beast found prophesied in Revelation Chapter 13.

16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. Revelation Chapter 13, Verses 16 to 18.

IS THE MATRIX DATA BARCODE THE MARK OF THE BEAST?

Is this the Mark of the Beast revealed at last?

Readers of this blog may be aware that I had made a posting a short while ago where I had said I had fallen for the popular view with regards to the mark of the beast being a microchip implant.

We just do not know what the mark really is, and for that reason I still would not endorse anyone taking an implant. I have also said that I thought that the mark of the beast was being introduced into Australia and that it just could be a MATRIX DATA BARCODE? (see the attached diagram)

I made that statement because I was seeing it quite frequently in advertising material, amongst the numerous other places it was starting to become prevalent.

I have mentioned this once again because being on holidays in Sri Lanka I have also noted MATRIX DATA BARCODE being introduced over here as well.

It is true, it is not as widespread as what it is in a more developed nation like Australia, but the bottom line still remains that it is still being introduced over here.

Of course, that makes its introduction something not just unique to Australia, but something that now appears to be a worldwide event?

Does King Louis XII Look Like Vladimir Putin?

Louis XII, King of France and Russian president Vladimir Putin

Whether acquiring power through one's birth right or through a democratic process, running a nation is no easy task. Louis XII, King of France in 1498, ran the country for two decades. Some of his actions were controversial, such as the war that he instigated against Italy in 1494 as a commander, but he still remained a beloved ruler by his followers by protecting them from oppression and civil war. Hundreds of years later, the same holds true for Russian president Vladimir Putin, who was elected to the presidency three times by the public, despite some of his controversial dealings, such as his country's close relations to the civil war-torn country of Syria. Could it be that the pressures of running a country have given these leaders the same stressed out expression?

How does the aforementioned tie in with the Beast of Revelation Chapter 13?
Furthermore, if we were to scrutinize the date the Louis XII became the King of France, 1498, it can be noted as an anagram of 1948, the year Israel became a nation? Additionally, two decades is two sets of ten and ties in with the prophecies of ten horns and ten crowns in Revelation Chapter 13? More than likely the aforesaid means nothing at all? On the other hand, it may be history repeating itself all over again, and may just give us some sort of an inkling as to the correct identity of the Antichrist? As the old saying goes, if you want to see what is going to happen in the future then you can do no better than to look at what has happened in the past? However, that still does not infer that the Antichrist will be anything like Louis XII, King of France in either word or deed? Instead, he will be the personification of every evil and brutal tyrant who has ever walked the face of the earth all rolled up into a single individual. He will kill more people during the brief term of his reign of terror of just 42 months than the total number who lost their lives during the first and second world wars combined. The vile reign of the Antichrist commences with 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 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.

Beware -- False Teachers and Prophets now run rampart within the Christian Church

Pentecostal Pastor - Bill Johnson

There are no doubts at all that some of these more dubious types of ministries are serving some useful purpose otherwise God would not have allowed them to be there in the first place, and then to continue on for as long as they have, in some cases? I have reproduced the work of others to name a certain ministry that is involved in a teaching that goes not only against the word of God, but is in direct contrast to the word of God, as it teaches something that is just another form of occultism. I have not posted the following to attack the ministry of Bill Johnson, but to cite him as an example only as to where the Christian church is heading in some instances. Attacking other Christian ministries/systems of faith/or beliefs is not what this blog is all about, but setting an example to warn the unsuspecting is.

There are those so-called Christian teachers out there who do not abide by the word of God and the world should be warned of the danger they represent, not only to Christian believers, but also to those who are not yet saved. Now that leaves us with quite a dilemma, how do we stop men such as these without actually breaking the law? One article, such as this, on the Internet is not going to cut the ice and thousands and thousands of innocent victims are still going to fall prey to this man. From a personal perspective, and before his name was mentioned elsewhere on the internet, I had never heard of Bill Johnson.

Nevertheless, if there are those out there who feel as strongly as what they seem to over this man the answer to be rid of him is quite is quite simple. A few good Bible believing Christians need to get together and form a group to earnestly seek the Lord over this matter, and ask that he be removed from his so-called teaching ministry forever. When praying say what you mean and mean what you say, and then watch the Lord go to work and he will be gone before he even knows what has happened. There is no room at all in the Christian church for the New Age movement and any mention of it should immediately raise alarm bells?

All that I am saying is that the old paths are the only way. Furthermore, there is no way that I would respect the ministries of others in the same boat as Johnson's, the likes of Derek Prince or Keith Green, and the numerous others who fit into the same category. Where this Pentecostal Charismatic nonsense end, only God knows.

Three scriptures will suffice to describe the False Prophets that we are seeing come to the fore in the latter days: 'The prophets prophesy falsely,and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so.' Jeremiah 5.31.'Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils.' 1 Timothy 4.1. 'Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 2 Timothy 3.5. It is my firm belief that Dispensationalism and the free grace off shoot it represents are very much to blame for what we are seeing going on within many of the modern day churches, the Pentecostal movement in particular.

Who is Bill Johnson ?
Bill Johnson Elijah List Member (born 1951) and his wife Brenda (Beni) Johnson are the Senior Pastors of Bethel Church in Redding, California. Johnson is a fifth generation pastor.

Johnson was born in Minnesota in 1951 and became a Christian as a young child. Soon after, Johnson read seven books on prayer, which significantly affected his perspective and subsequent ministry.

Johnson's father, Melvin Earl Johnson (1929-2004) was the senior pastor at Bethel Church in Redding from 1968-1982 and subsequently became Executive Officer of the Northern California/Nevada District Council of the Assemblies of God. Earl Johnson had four children, all of whom are in full-time ministry, including his eldest son, Bill..

Bill Johnson and his wife began as singles pastors under his father at Bethel. In 1979, they became senior pastors of Mountain Chapel in Weaverville, California. After 17 years, they returned to Bethel Church as senior pastors in February 1996.

Johnson and his wife have three children, Brian, Eric and Leah (married to Gabe Valenzuela). They have eight grandchildren.

According to a recent book authored by Johnson, "Face to Face with God", Bethel is "a church where supernatural encounters with God happen regularly, miracles are common, and the congregation has an infectious passion for spiritual growth."

The church has approximately 1,500 members.

In 1999, Johnson reported that he had observed hundreds of miracles that year, including the healing of cancer, paralysis and broken bones.

Bethel Church and Johnson have been featured in video segments by the Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN) and Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN) concerning the Church's unique, spontaneous approach to outreach.

One CBN segment featured a reportedly verified spontaneous healing of a newborn's heart defect while a physician was monitoring.

Their popular 'Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry' has 1100 students enrolled from ages 15 to 85.

Johnson leads a network of churches dedicated to global, multi-generational revival, Global Legacy.

Johnson has authored several Christian books and travels extensively as a featured revival conference speaker.

Johnson is also involved with the Northern California Revival Fellowship, a group of north Californian pastors committed to revival.

Here is a close look into Bill Johnson and his ministry.
Acording to a former student of Bill Johnson, John Wolf exposed him in this newspaper clip stating that Johnson hold to the word of faith gospel, and as such would make Johnson a false teacher. what would put Bill Johnson into question is his love for Benny Hinns gnostic theology [3]. Here is also a audio file testimony of an experience that someone had with one of Johnson's students.

Bill Johnsons teaching on Spiritual DNA

WHAT IS "SPIRITUAL DNA"?
By -Mark Dinsmore
FROM SERMONS AND BEST-SELLING BOOKS to television talk shows, a growing number of people are conversing about "spiritual DNA." But what is it? Almost unheard of five or ten years ago, a Google search for this phrase now turns up 22,400 pages, with authors ranging from mainstream evangelicals to practitioners of eastern mysticism and the occult. Is the term simply a profound metaphor, or does it convey a literal meaning? Does it refer to a tangibly deeper (or higher) truth-or is it purely metaphysical nonsense? Let's examine a few of the ways in which this phrase is "catching on" and test its legitimacy according to God's Word.

First of all, it has become a popular contemporary metaphor by many who profess Christ. In her article "Discovering Our Spiritual DNA" posted on the North American Mission Board website, Meredith Day writes,

Metaphorically speaking, when we are reborn in Christ, He instills in us a sort of new spiritual DNA that makes us hungry to tell others about Him....

This explanation of spiritual DNA seems fairly innocuous-if there is such a thing. But is there-and if so, what is it? Is it biblical to refer to the drawing and conviction of the Holy Spirit as "a sort of new spiritual DNA?" The question, "What is spiritual DNA?" was posed to Liberty University's website. Their response:

The phrase "spiritual DNA" talks about the new nature that you [receive] from God when you are born again....Paul says we have an old nature...called the old man (Eph. 4:22). And then we put on a new man, i.e., a new nature (Eph. 4:24).

This answer seems straightforward, and it assumes the phrase has its primary use as a Christian metaphor. But other professing Christians have stated (on www.schizophrenia-info.info):

When God adopts us into His family....He now lives in our DNA, in our blood, in our spirit. His blood in us is what operates to do His work in our flesh, NOW. We can do His miracles, signs, and wonders....As in human conception, when sperm unites with egg, His Spirit unites with our spirit to become one spirit.

The exact way in which the Holy Spirit resides in the believer is truly a mystery; but ascribing this miraculous new creation to a change in our physical/spiritual DNA is dangerous mysticism. Furthermore, although believers do become "one in spirit," we do not become "one with God" in the sense of the union of Jesus Christ as fully God and fully human. Scripture is clear: our present bodies are "earthen vessels," temporary "tabernacles," and not in any sense "supernaturalized" by a change in "spiritual DNA." They await the blessed hope of our glorified bodies yet to come.

The popular prophet Bill Yount (famous for his ministry of shofar-blowing, which allegedly has mystical powers to "open the heavens" by communicating on God's "frequencies") recently decreed over the babies of Britney Spears and other Hollywood stars,

While some stars argued over who was the father of their children, I heard one Father cry out, "They are all Mine, every last one of them! They have My DNA and they look like Me!"

This error is even more blatantly a contradiction of Scripture. Humans only become "children of God" when they become spiritually adopted "joint heirs" with Jesus Christ by repentance and grace by faith, thereby inheriting the free gift of eternal life. Babies and young children (to an age of individual accountability that only God knows) are not condemned to eternal damnation if they perish prior to receiving Christ; however, they are not automatically (or even metaphorically) God's spiritual "offspring" from birth, nor do they bear his non-existent "spiritual DNA." This is mystical nonsense-similar to "spirit child" teachings propagated by Mormonism and other religions. One website titled "spiritualDNA.net" talks about the "transformation of the DNA of Creation" as "another way of looking at evolution":

The impulse creating life is governing our creation and imprinted in our gene-structure: the DNA....Our imprint is an individual one and the result of soul-radiation into earth matter...based upon the total end result of our karma....We shall be able to bring about The New Age ruled by a New Covenant through a...different kind of praying in Wholeness for everything that lives and grows, visible and invisible.

Most believers immediately recognize and dismiss this false utopian hope as diabolical deception. But what of the following quote from a professing Christian "minister" whose alleged visitation from Christ in 1986-and subsequent "flight" to heaven in 1993-spawned his "Eagle Vision Ministry":

DNA is like a computer program that is placed into our cells...Every one of our [cells contains] a program that is not written in electromagnetic form, [but is] written in chemical form....Eight souls came out of [Noah's Ark]....So whether you like it or not that person sitting next to you is related to you.

This mixture of simile and fact sounds plausible. But the writer continues, making a transition from the physical to metaphysical:

Now in the spirit world there is spiritual DNA....The thought realm, which we [have already] considered and defined to be spiritual DNA, has a structure. The structure is always in a certain pattern. According to that pattern and structure it will produce after its kind. [Spiritual] DNA will reproduce itself. [Emphasis added]

In what appears to be a sincere effort to expound on the Scriptures, which declare "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new" (2 Cor 5:17), the writer introduces an authoritative, scientific-sounding concept that has no tangible or biblical basis. This error is serious! Just as do mind-science "experts" (such as those in The Secret), he attempts to take what is useful and understood as physical and apply it "scientifically" to the spiritual realm; but "spiritual DNA," like "thought waves," are only imagined. Would that all Christians test the spirits that bring such "new revelations" as this!

An article titled "DNA and God" by Bill Donahue reflects on a 2004 Time magazine in which the cover story, "The God Gene," recounts a search by laboratories to find "spiritual receptors" in physical DNA. Intrigued by "the fact that change can be made to DNA through electricity," and since "God is not a man" (Num 23:19), and "God is light" (1 Jn 1:5), Donahue (a researcher of "hidden ancient wisdom") reasons that...we are created in the image and likeness of God suggesting that we too are light....DNA has two aspects to it. One is the physical DNA which the body we use is equipped with through the heredity of our parents. The other is what the Buddhists suggest is a spiritual DNA....That is why I have such strong feelings against executing people. Their spiritual DNA will go into a new body...and do the same evil again.

Notice that both professing Christians and metaphysical spiritualists attempt to explain invisible, intangible spiritual processes with scientific research, supposedly backed up by Scripture. Today, this error is being perpetuated at an increasing rate by two "evangelical" movements, the neo-prophetic "New Apostolic Reformation" (NAR) and the Emerging Church. An NAR prophet, Bob Jones, (no relation to the University of that name) and Paul Keith Davis, who annually issue a "prophetic" proclamation called "The Shepherd's Rod," wrote in 2006:

Many people living in this generation have a unique and holy attribute woven into their spiritual DNA. A predetermined virtue provokes us to move beyond the outer court and into a place of Kingdom expression. [This predetermined virtue] is called "divine destiny."

This alleged "divine destiny" relates more to the Hindu concept of Karma (or even Calvinism) than any Scriptural truth; it suggests fatalism. The idea of a spiritual "New Breed" originates from the Latter-Rain movement (deemed heretical by the Assemblies of God and most evangelicals) and dovetails nicely with the New Age concept of a "paradigm shift" or "quantum leap" in spirituality and the evolution of a "christ consciousness" that is expected to unify mankind and bring restoration of "the kingdom of heaven" on earth.

Bill Johnson, another NAR "apostle" and pastor of Bethel church in Redding, California, says in his book When Heaven Invades Earth, "It has been written into our spiritual DNA to hunger for the impossibilities around us to bow at the name of Jesus." This mystical statement sounds lofty, but what does it mean? Could the NAR's Kingdom-Now theology be synonymous with this "new" view below, taken from a book (coincidently titled Creating Heaven on Earth) by Asa Wulfe?

We have been used to thinking of ascension in terms of leaving the Earth to enter a higher plane of being or to reach "heaven." But many now feel...that ascension in our time is really about creating Heaven on Earth, right here and now....This process can be started by activating additional strands of DNA-the spiritual DNA.

Exactly how does one "activate" one's spiritual DNA? By an "inner awakening" experience of some kind-such as yoga, centering prayer, reiki, drum circles, trance dancing, eastern meditation, etc. Even professing Christians are being guided by dozens of "prophetic evangelists" who promise (and deliver) techniques for creating "third heaven visions" and "angelic encounters." Grievously, these spirits are too often untested. In fact, the pursuit of a tangible manifestation of "God" on earth has become a pre-eminent focus for multitudes of spiritually "hungry" believers who have grown impatient waiting for "the blessed hope." Today, increasing numbers are forsaking our Savior's promise to "catch us up" to be with Him, and are instead determined to forge a "golden calf" religion that promises a false rapture of ecstatic encounters "here and now."

While "spiritual DNA" can be an interesting metaphor, its imagined existence breaks down quickly under rational and biblical inquiry. In reality, it appears that the Enemy is using this quasi-scientific explanation to justify a New Breed of spiritual "super-sapiens," brought about by the alleged next stage of human evolution: a global awakening to "christ consciousness"-a harbinger for the "strong delusion" of Antichrist.

ANGEL FEATHERS FALL ON BETHEL (Charisma Magazine -- August 1999)
"...At Bill Johnson's church in Redding, California, small little feathers fall from the ceiling and have been doing that for some time. Bethel has been the sight of some awesome miracles recently. The feathers started dropping after a Morning Star Prophet (the ministry of Rick Joyner) visited the church for a series of meetings. Mr. Kelly, a member of Bethel AOG of Redding describes the appearance of feathers: 'The feathers thing has been truly amazing. I believe it started when we had the Prophet Bobby Conners come to our church for a series of meetings. During ministry time people would see feathers fall from the ceiling and Bobby explained it as a sign of angelic activity... I'm not sure if he was saying they were angel feathers or not. But ever since he came, we have seen feathers falling from the ceiling ... they are very small and delicate, and not many fall, but you can see them from a good distance. God is always surprising us with new things.'"

Ooooooooh! Isn't that spooky! Angel Feathers!!! How FLAKEY can it possibly get? Now we have angel feathers falling in a California Church. Let's all book our airline tickets and rush on out to the "Angel Feathers Church" and see the latest "MANIFESTATION"! No, on second thought, maybe we should just send a Western Union Telegram to the pastor: "Check rafters for pigeons..." And if the dear pastor finds no pigeons in the rafters, then maybe the "Bird" to be removed from the church is "Prophet Bobby Conners"!?

GOOD NEWS! GOOD NEWS!
If you live in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex you don't have to run off to Toronto, Pensacola, or California to see the latest in FLAKEY MANIFESTATIONS. We have it ALL right here in the BIBLE BELT! I am now quoting from the DALLAS MORNING NEWS dated Saturday, October 9,1999. The headlines in the RELIGION section of the paper read with Big Bold Letters: "GOLD RUSH." Glitter-Like Dust is latest proof of God's Presence," Pentecostals say.

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.
