The supposed Rapture of the Church - the mass abductions of Christians by Demons from Hell.

There is really nothing at all that I can find in the word of God that says there are going to be literally millions and millions of Christians that are going to suddenly vanish off the face of the earth without having to die first. The Rapture of the Church, (as it is commonly known as) is nothing more than just one gigantic myth perpetrated by Satan to deceive Christians into falsely believing they are not going to have to go through the Great Tribulation, but instead will be taken off the face of the earth before world events here on the earth become unbearably bad.

There is now a new and more wonderful theory that has emerged which says that when this alleged rapture takes place there are going to be some who are going to say that what has taken place have been mass alien abductions. Now there is no doubt at all as to the existence of UFOs, but there is a great deal of doubt that what we believe are creatures from another world are really nothing more than demons from Hell, not beings from another world.

As that is the case, it then may be best if those who are reading this were to read the attached article below. It is good, well written, and verifies what I have said above to a tee.

But here is the clincher, there does not seem to be a great deal of doubt what is commonly known as the rapture of the church has been invented only quite recently - perhaps a couple of hundred years ago - an insignificant amount of time in the all over scheme of things. That the rapture has been designed by Satan, the ultimate deceiver, to pull the eyes over Christians to take as many as possible off the face of the earth so that his Antichrist can have complete and utter control over the entire globe and its peoples.

What I mean by that is there is going to be a time of mass abductions of Christians by the forces of darkness, demons from Hell, the minions of the Antichrist, who are going to come under the guise of aliens (when they are really demons), to take the unsuspecting Christians off the face of the earth and into their space ships for mass extermination. As the Antichrist is the modern day Hitler, there will be another holocaust. This is the form that it is going to take and all the while the Christians will be none the wiser as they are lead like lambs to the slaughter thinking they are being raptured, something they have been falsely indoctrinated into by the church.

Now here is the article in question.
"The recent release by the Mexican government of a video apparently showing 11 flying saucers circling one of its patrol jets has boosted the claim that this planet is regularly visited by trippers from outer space. Belief in UFOs is now an established part of the worldview of millions of people, especially in the western world where for many it has become a substitute religion. This is the subject of a video ‘The X Files’ in which Michael Penfold gives fascinating insight into the nature of UFOs.

These are some of the main points he makes.
When former US President Jimmy Carter put a message in the Voyager spacecraft for aliens to read and hopefully respond to, he was expressing the desire of many to make contact with some other beings in the universe. Belief in visitors from outer space is not new – it can be found in ancient Egyptian and Roman civilisation – but it is now widely accepted as an undeniable fact that UFOs are real. The current preoccupation with UFOs began in 1947 when Kenneth Arnold, a US pilot, claimed to see 9 flying saucers at Rainer, Washington. Two weeks later, it was claimed that two UFO craft crashed in Roswell, New Mexico and that the US government has since conducted secret experiments on alien corpses. Since then there have been numerous sightings, some witnessed by thousands like one in Gibraltar in 1989.

Ninety five percent of supposed sightings can be explained away as not really UFOs. They are either deliberate hoaxes or something else – meteors, weather balloons, birds, and tricks of the light or the imagination of the viewer. However, there are 5%, which cannot be explained this way. Michael Penfold looks at the possible ways to explain these sightings.

Option 1. They are visitors from outer space
There are an estimated 20,000 billion, billion stars in the universe. These stars have planets around them. So, the reasoning goes, there has got to be life on one or more of these planets somewhere. For those who believe life on earth began by the chance process of evolution, finding life elsewhere would be a tremendous boost to the credibility of their theory. If life could have spontaneously come into being somewhere else in the universe, it would give weight to the idea that this is how we came to be here. For those who are perplexed at the state of the world today the idea that aliens from a more advanced civilisation could come and help us out of the hole we are in is a comforting thought.

It is impossible for humans to go outside this solar system to find out whether there is life in space, because the distances are too great. But that does not stop us trying to find out if there is life out there. A major motivation for the project to land a man on Mars is to determine whether that planet has ever supported life forms. The Seti (Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence) project is backed by some of the world’s richest men and uses the most powerful radio telescopes to search the universe for signs of life. However, nothing has been discovered. Carl Sagan has written, ‘The receipt of a single message from space would show that the transmitting civilisation has survived. No such message has ever been received.’

Life requires an incredibly fine balance of circumstances to exist. A planet needs to be stable, the right distance from the star so that it neither fries nor freezes, packed with the ingredients to support life (air, water, soil etc), with an atmosphere shielding it from dangerous elements in space and protecting the environment below. There are at least 100 different parameters for life to exist and if any of these were altered by a fraction, life would disappear. Even if you have a planet that has the right conditions to support life, you also need the right circumstances for life to come into existence spontaneously if you accept the theory of evolution. (We do not believe in evolution and have a number of books and videos available on this subject).

If such a life form could come into being in a distant galaxy, it then has to develop the most incredible technology to cover the vast distances in the universe to reach us. The nearest star to us is 4.3 light years away. The Milky Way galaxy is 100,000 light years wide. The closest galaxy after the Milky Way is 1.5 million light years away. A spacecraft travelling at one million miles a day would take 70,000 years to cover the 4.3 million miles to the nearest star. To reach a distant star in the Milky Way or another galaxy altogether and we are beginning to talk in terms of millions of years.

A craft travelling at the speed of one million miles a day would be going so fast that if it hit even a very small object in space (which it probably would) it would explode. Leaving this problem aside, only beings with the most incredible technology who have a life span of millions of years and do not need a huge supply of food and drink to keep alive could cross the universe in spacecraft. If we are to believe the claims of UFO magazines such craft are not only making it across the universe but also doing so in huge numbers. Almost every day there is a report of a sighting.

The sightings themselves raise a number of problems. At the same event they may be seen but not photographed or photographed but not seen. Despite apparently reaching incredible speeds of up to 18,000 mph they have never given off a sonic boom. They violate the laws of physics making 90% turns at very high speeds. They may change shape, size and colour at random. This is not the behaviour of a physical craft or being. This raises the possibility of a second option.

Option 2. They are supernatural entities
Some UFO researchers who are not believers in God or the Bible have concluded that this is a possible explanation. J Allen Hynek in an article ‘Machines made of Shadows’ has written: ‘The spiritual theory explains why UFOs can make right angle turns. It explains why they can be dematerialised, why sometimes they are picked up on radar and sometimes not.’

Michael Penfold shows that this is the most logical conclusion from the evidence available. He says that aliens are supernatural beings manifesting in a form which makes them acceptable to the modern mindset. Based on the evidence he also comes to the conclusion that they are malignant supernatural beings, i.e. demons or evil spirits. Whereas in the past evil spirits may have appeared as hobgoblins or ghosts or leprechauns today people are reluctant to believe in those things. So they appear as aliens – something which has become part of our mainstream culture through films like ‘ET’, ‘Independence Day’ and ‘Men in Black’. He gives 5 reasons why this explanation fits the facts.

1) ‘Aliens’ share the menacing characteristics of demons

2) Alien abductions and UFO experiences come primarily to those who are already involved in the occult.

3) Post alien abduction symptoms match post occult experience symptoms.

4) Alien messages match the messages channelled by demons.

5) Alien names match names of demons.

Whitley Striber, in his book ‘Communion’ about his supposed abduction by aliens, wrote ‘I felt an indescribable sense of menace. Whatever was there seemed so monstrously ugly, so filthy and dark and sinister. Of course they were demons. They had to be.’

David Jacobs in ‘Abductions and the ET hypothesis’ wrote: ‘Physically the abduction experience can seriously harm a person and significantly alter the course of one’s life. Although the physical effects of abduction can be extremely severe it is the psychological problems that have the most destructive effect.’

William Alnor in ‘UFOs in the New Age’ wrote ‘After reading literally hundreds of messages from space brothers during the past several years and carefully analysing their views, I am convinced that these entities are trying to sell humanity one of the biggest deceptions of all time.’

Michael Penfold agrees that the UFO phenomenon is all about spiritual deception. It ties in with other influences like yoga, TM, hypnosis, Zen Buddhism, drug taking in altering consciousness so that the normal function of the mind is bypassed by a spiritual entity aiming to deceive. To back this claim up he cites the five main messages which have been communicated by supposed contact between humans and aliens:

1) We are on the threshold of a New Age of enlightenment.

2) God is an impersonal force of which we are part. We are god and our divinity is within.

3) There is no death. We are endlessly re-incarnated.

4) Good and evil are only illusions and one side of the same coin.

5) Jesus is just a great teacher and all roads lead to God.

This in itself should show us that these entities are not aliens crossing billions of miles of space. Why would they bother to make this hazardous journey in such vast numbers as is being claimed, just to give us the same message as you can find in books on the occult in most bookshops?

Dr Pierre Guerin, a secular researcher, wrote in Flying Saucer Review Vol 25 No 1: ‘UFO behaviour is more akin to magic than to physics as we know it. The modern UFOnauts and the demons of past days are probably identical.’

To confirm this it is remarkable that the names ‘aliens’ have given themselves are almost identical to the names given to pagan gods and demons throughout history. UFO contacts have been receiving messages from a being calling itself Ashtar for years. Variations of this name such as Astaroth, Asharoth, Astarte appear ancient literature, including the Bible, in relation to pagan gods. John Peel in ‘Operation Trojan Horse’ writes, ‘Mr Ashtar has been around a very long time posing as assorted gods and demons and now in the modern phase as another glorious spaceman.’

This raises the conclusion that these supposed visitors from outer space come from very much closer to home. We are not alone in the universe but we live alongside angels and fallen angels. Human rebellion against God has opened us up to the deception of Satan and his demons.

Most of the manifestations of UFOs come in the form of ‘bright lights in the sky.’ The Bible tells us that Satan is ‘the prince of the power of the air’(Ephesians 2.2), that he is able to produce ‘lying signs and wonders’ (2 Thessalonians 2.9) and that he is able to transform himself into ‘an angel of light’ (2 Corinthians 11.14). Satan is using this phenomenon to change the way we think and to soften us up to accept his counterfeit Messiah, the Antichrist, as the answer to human ills. He also wishes to blind people to the real truth, the Gospel, and take as many people to hell with him as possible.

Going back to the 5 main messages of UFOs mentioned above, they are all wrong.

1) We are not on the threshold of a New Age of enlight-enment, but on the edge of the Great Tribulation, the worst time in human history which will precede the glorious return of the Lord Jesus the Messiah to the earth to judge the world in righteousness.

2) God is not an impersonal force, but a loving heavenly Father who can be known through faith in Jesus the Messiah.

3) We have one chance to get it right in this life. The lie of the devil in the Garden of Eden is ‘You shall not die … you will be like God’ (Genesis 3.4-5). This is being recycled in the New Age Movement of which UFO culture is a part. In fact after death we face the Day of Judgement when we give account of our lives to God.

4) The idea that right and wrong are only illusions and part of the same whole is Chinese Taoist philosophy that is also being recycled for popular consumption through movies like Star Wars and the Harry Potter books. In fact God is the Creator of all things and wholly good. The Bible teaches us the difference between good and evil and how to live in the light of God’s truth. Satan is a created being who is the source of evil and who is doomed to spend eternity in the lake of fire.

5) There is one way we can avoid joining him in this fate – through repentance and faith in the Lord Jesus the Messiah who died as a sacrifice for our sins and rose again from the dead to give eternal life to all believers. Jesus is a great teacher, but not just a great teacher. He is God made flesh who revealed the ultimate truth to all mankind. Humanity has once been visited on earth, not from outer space, but from Heaven itself. If we reject the words of this heavenly visitor, then there is no further enlightenment coming for us from anywhere else.

Simon Edge writing in the Daily Express (14/4/04) explains the widespread belief in UFOs: ‘People often say it would be lonely otherwise. Certainly there is something infinitely terrible about the emptiness of the universe – think of the scene in the movie Moonraker in which a space walking astronaut is cut off from his craft and floats screaming into eternity. In an irreligious age, fear of the void is even greater.’

There is no need to have this fear. We can make contact with an infinitely good God who cares for us and is able to communicate by the Holy Spirit to help us and guide us through this life. He also gives answers to the big questions: ‘Where do we come from? Why are we here? How can we know what is right? Where are we going?’ Do not be conned by the subtle deceptions of our culture. Follow Jesus who says, ‘I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.’ John 8.12."

If his latest behavior is any indicator at all Sarkozy is not the Antichrist - but as far as being the False Prophet - I wonder?????

The current French President Nicholas Sarkozy has been responsible for a number of uncharacteristic outbursts over the past few weeks that appear to have resulted in some sort of a split between France and Germany - the two biggest economies within the EU.

It is one thing to tell David Cameron that he had ‘missed a good opportunity to shut up’ but the reality of the matter is far worse than that.

The meeting that had taken place on Sunday that was supposed to find some sort of a solution to the current Eurozone crisis but apparently, that had finished two hours later than scheduled because of the French President’s protracted performance.

That is one reason why David Cameron should not take Mr Sarkozy’s rudeness unnecessarily personally. The stewards of the Eurozone crisis have proved themselves reflexively hostile to any outside commentary on their dismal efforts for some time.

His outburst is only one in a recent string of frankly bizarre Sarkozy moments

When US Treasury Secretary Timothy Geither travelled to Europe recently for one such meeting he was treated more or less as a dinner party guest who’d been invited by accident and was meant to know it.

More latterly European leaders have begun exploring ways of neutering the financial ratings agencies who have been understandably downgrading sovereign debt around the continent, something Irish-based economist Constantine Gurdgiev aptly described as being akin to dealing with an impending airplane crash by smashing the cockpit warning lights.

Or as the Open Europe think-tank remarked, ‘if Sarkozy snapped at everyone who criticised the handling of the crisis we'd imagine he wouldn't have too many people to talk to’.

What is new is that the critics can no longer be dismissed as traditional European naysayers and Nicholas Sarkozy’s increasingly erratic behaviour is a large cause of deepening doubt within the Euro-federalist citadels.

French journalist Jean Quatremer has likened the spectacle to ‘that cartoon where Wile E. Coyote chases Road Runner: it continues to run above the vacuum and it’s only when it realises it, that it will fall down’.

Most unnervingly for votaries of the single-currency are Mr Sarkozy’s willingness to be downright rude not only to a British Prime Minister but also to the people who are supposed to be at least notionally sympathetic.

Representatives for the French President and German Chancellor Angela Merkel have been furiously feeding biddable journalists with accounts of the close cooperation of the two leaders and their shared resolve in arresting the continent’s decline into fiscal delinquency.

The truth is that relations between the pair are close to an all-time low. That it is saying something given the longstanding friction between their very different personalities, but it is hard to avoid the conclusion that the latest rift is almost entirely Mr Sarkozy’s fault.

Recently a father for the fourth-time, by his third wife, the musician-cum-humanitarian Carla Bruni, Mr Sarkozy was presented by the German Chancellor on Sunday with a gift of a teddy bear as a present for this newborn daughter.

Therefore, it was perhaps understandable that the latter was surprised to hear Sarkozy loudly and uncharitably commenting on the quantity of cheese Chancellor Merkel consumed at one of the conference dinners.

Insiders report that a stand-up row between the two at a retirement party for European Central Bank head Jean-Claude Trichet was so loud that it drowned out the so-called EU national anthem, a spectacle that might serve as a suitably tragi-comic summation of the current state of the European project. (The unfortunate Merkel may be getting used to her counterparts commenting on the progress of her diet – Italian premier Silvio Berlusconi was recorded last year making far worse comments, on a wire-tap, naturally.)

German irritation with the French President has also been fuelled by his lack of interest in the considerable problem that part of his proposed solutions to the crisis are downright illegal on the basis of existing EU treaties.

Then there are those who are running end times sites that have been suggesting that if he is not the Antichrist, then he is certainly preparing the way for the emergence of the Antichrist, as if they would know anyway.

I am not too sure just where they had gotten some of their ideas from, perhaps it may have something to do with Sarkozy being on the rather short side - the little horn of Daniel idea, or the fact of his being Jewish, but who really knows the mindsets of some of these people.

However, with the latest developments relating to Sarkozy these sorts of ideas seem to be just as wild and fanciful as those who are saying them. Nonetheless, these are exactly the same people who are constantly rubbishing and denigrating the Catholic Church because they had suggested a World Government, as if there has been no one else who has suggested this over the past few years or so when the facts of the matter are there are numerous others who fit into this category also.

It seems to be a fair enough sort of a view to mention the Catholic Church on occasions for what it really is, that being the Whore of Babylon mentioned in the book of Revelations. Unfortunately, for the sake of the reputation of the better blog spots there are some who claim to be running end times websites that have nothing better to do with their time other than to rubbish and denigrate the Catholic Church without ceasing.

That seems to be the case, even though it seems those who are doing this are not exactly without a plank in their own eyes to begin with, meaning that the churches they attend themselves are less than perfect. To them I would say it may be better if they were to take the plank out of their own eyes before they begin to attack other groups in the manner that they are.

These are the same ones who have been saying that Sarkozy is the Beast of Revelation but if that were the case would we then expect him to carry on in the manner that he has been over the past few days or so. Instead, we would expect him instead to start that type of behavior after we were sure of just who he was, say for example after the signing of the covenant of Daniel.

What Happens After We Die?

As we are all going to have to die one day the thought of the afterlife has always been a subject matter of serious consideration in my Christian studies. Actually, I have undertaken several hours of study in my Bible and over the Internet relative to the subject matter. There were of course other reference points that I have availed myself of in compiling this article, but the two aforementioned sources seem to be the most reliable ones of all. Accordingly, I would like to pass some of those findings onto others here, if I may.

Firstly, are only just two final destinations the deceased person has the possibility of going after having passed from this life to the next, Heaven and Hell. There is nowhere else the deceased will ever go to other than those two final destinations of Heaven and Hell, either one or the other.

There is no mention anywhere in the word of God of a place known as Purgatory. There no place, that exists, or has ever existed commonly known as purgatory, where as the theory alleges the deceased person may go for a brief period to wait for the final judgement. Accordingly, Purgatory is fictional, it does not, nor has it ever existed, there is only Heaven and Hell.

There are people alive today who have died and been shown the entrance, or the gates to Heaven, but there is no one who has ever existed that has ever entered into Heaven, and then returned back to their bodies to tell their story. If there is anyone you have ever met, or even read about, who has said they have died and gone into Heaven and then returned to their bodies then those persons are not telling the truth, they are liars.

There are many people alive today who have either died and gone into Hell, and then returned to their bodies. Alternatively, there are persons alive today taken into Hell by Jesus so that they could pass onto others the fact of its existence.

Both Heaven and Hell are real.

For financial benefit, there are some very unscrupulous persons may lay claim to something that is entirely untrue by saying they can communicate with a dead person. When really all they are really communicating with is an evil spirit that knows everything about the deceased person. Once a person has died, he or she, has either gone to Heaven or Hell -- and there is no possibility whatsoever of ever communicating with the dead person -- as once you die and pass over then that is the end of the story there is simply no turning back whatsoever.

Even though the deceased person may have been an atheist all of his life before dying, (right at the last minute) he/she may have repented of his sins so there is no one alive who really knows the final destination of the deceased person and whether the dead person has gone to either Heaven or Hell. Accordingly, there is no point in prejudging someone's final destination by thinking that because they have been a sinner all of their lives the deceased person would have automatically gone to Hell. The facts of the matter are they we just do not know where anyone goes when they die, either Heaven or Hell.

While Heaven is a place of eternal bliss, Hell is the complete opposite being a place of eternal torment. As that is the case, then the wisest thing to do would be to make sure that you do not go to Hell, but instead to make sure that you go to Heaven. The only way to make sure that you are going to Heaven is to come to the cross and then by doing so receive the perfect gift of eternal life by being washed under the blood of Christ through the repentance of sins. There is no other way to enter into the Kingdom of God other than through the son by asking for forgiveness of sin.

For those who are yet unsaved and desire to go to be with the Lord after having the death experience then do so right now in the privacy of your own home by reciting the believers prayer of repentance as has been formatted at the bottom of this page. Do it now, for tomorrow may be too late.

Remember this, there are approximately 124,000 people who die somewhere around the globe every 24 hours. The saddest part of all of this is that most of those listed in that number were unsaved at the time of their demise. That means the majority could have only gone to Hell. So make sure that you are not one of them by making sure that you are saved by doing as I have suggested above, do it right now.

There have been two instances I have heard of, (both were members of the same family) who after having passed away were not allowed to enter into Heaven because, as they allege, they were prevented from doing so by an angel at the entrance. The Son of God prevented the aforementioned instances from entering the Kingdom of God, and not an angel. So make sure that you are Born Again before you die. Once that happens it is forever, and there is simply no turning back whatsoever.

Has the EU economic crisis been nothing more than a cleverly designed plan to hand everything over to the Antichrist?

The plan of the Bilderbergers has always been to cull the useless eaters so that there are just 500 million left alive as their slaves to carry out their menial tasks.

What that means is that for those who remain, their time here on the earth is now almost at hand, as they also must be wiped from the face of the earth. For the betterment of the remainder, the time for the great scaling down of the preponderance of the world's population is due to commence shortly.

There have been several conspiracy theories floating around the Internet (and other places) that seem to suggest the great culling is going to take the form of poisoning the food, or water supplies, or the medicines, or whatever. The only purpose this misguided dogma serves is to mislead those who take any notice of it. The result of this is that it causes a distraction that forces ones attention away from what is really going on.

All of the aforementioned may be correct, however, there is generally a lot more than that going on when it comes to reducing the world's population down to just a paltry 500 million.

Within the EU recently, there have been quite serious and troublesome economic times ensuing of late that have resulted in several bailout packages handed out to those nations in economic strife. There has been a massive 1 trillion dollars in austerity measures passed only recently after a meeting of the 27 combined member nations of the EU.

Even though this sounds like a massive amount of money, it is nothing in comparison to the financial difficulties that the EU is currently facing with the very survival of the Euro dependent on the success of these measures.

Nevertheless, the word of God tells us that these measures are not going to succeed. The result will be that all they will have created will be a slush fund for the Antichrist to take control of so that he can commence and win the Third World War.

May one then ask, has this been the plan all along. Create an economic crisis, in other words create the problem. Then create the solution to the problem, hand over everything over to the Antichrist, and then furnish him a trillion dollars with which to reduce the world's population down to a just 500 million?

It seems to me like that may just be the case, but only time will tell the outcome of all of this after all.

The release of one Jewish soldier in exchange for a thousand Palestinian prisoners spells victory with a capital "V" for the Palestinians.

When Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's cabinet voted early Wednesday morning to approve a prisoner swap that will see Gilad Shalit, the IDF soldier who has been in Hamas captivity for the last five years, return to Israel what we have just seen unfolding is an enormous victory to the Palestinians in their quest for a separate Palestinian state.

Since then, Gilad Shalit, has been reunited with his family shortly after crossing into Israel from Egypt after his release earlier in the day by his captors in Gaza, ending five years and four months in captivity.

The Israel Defence Forces representative announced Shalit's return at 11 a.m. Israel time on Tuesday. Shalit arrived in Egypt approximately three hours earlier.

While incarceration Shalit said in an interview that he treated well by his captors, but that he missed family, friends and freedom. The IDF reported that Shalit is in good health.

After meeting with IDF officials and Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, Shalit met family members, and images of him embracing his father, Noam, were broadcasted right throughout Israel.

Shalit's release came as Israel began transferring 477 Palestinian prisoners to the Red Cross as part of a swap deal between Israel and Hamas that will see the release of more than 1,000 Palestinian prisoners from Israeli jails. Eyewitnesses confirmed that some of the prisoners had begun entering Gaza.

Shalit's family was waiting for him at the Tel Nof Air Force base.

What a deal the Palestinians have gotten out of this? After all, exchanging one Jewish soldier for up to a thousand Palestinian prisoners what better odds could one expect than that. As that is the case, the success rate of this exchange has been more than 1000 to 1 in favour of the Palestinians.

According to the agreement framework presented by Shin Bet chief Yoram Cohen, the deal Netanyahu brought before the cabinet included, at first, the release of 450 Palestinian prisoners, including 280 with life sentences.

110 prisoners will be released to their homes in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, out of whom 55 are Hamas men, with the rest belonging to Fatah and the other Palestinian groups.

According to the deal, 131 Gaza residents will be released back to the coastal Strip, many of whom are reportedly top Hamas operatives. Another 203 prisoners will be expelled from the West Bank, 40 of whom will be deported overseas and the rest to Gaza.

In addition, 6 Israeli Arab prisoners who have been serving for many years will also be released to their homes. The deal also specifies the release of 27 female inmates: terrorists Ahlam Tamimi and Amna Muna will be deported, with the rest of the female inmates are expected to be released to their homes.

The second wave of releases will take place in two months time, at which point Israel will release 550 prisoners of its choosing.

In a briefing with reporters, the Shin Bet chief indicated that senior Hamas West Bank operatives the militant group demanded be set free – such as Abdullah Barghouti, Ibrahim Hamed, Abbas Sayed, and others – will not be released from jail.

Ahmed Saadat, secretary-general of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, will also remain in prison, as well as Fatah strongman Marwan Barghouti.
About half of those released to the West Bank will live under restrictions that include prohibiting them from exiting the West Bank and, in some cases, the towns in which they live.

Cohen added that the Shin Bet supported the newly signed deal since releasing Shalit by means of military operation was deemed impossible.
"The security establishment finds this release very difficult," Cohen said, adding:

"It's easier for me to be tough. We had no possibility or better way of releasing Shalit, so we backed the deal."

"It's not a good deal, but, on the other hand, it's the only way if we want to bring him home," the Shin Bet chief said, adding: "Hamas had to show flexibility as we did. What happened in Syria created instability and a need for Egyptian backup."

Is there someone out there who can reaffirm what my initial reaction was that this prisoner exchange program was a part of the road map to peace announced by the Americans?

Accordingly, what we have also seen is the world edge closer and closer to the covenant of Daniel Chapter 9, Verse 27 - a lot closer than I have ever seen in my lifetime. As that is the case, my best advice then for those unsaved would be to do so before it is too late as you are quite rapidly running out of time.

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.

The Antichrist - the Dictator Who Solves the Global Economic Meltdown

With the economic crisis the world is now facing, the EU in particular, what we have going on within the EU is exactly the same set of circumstances are now in place that had brought Mr. Hitler to power.

Accordingly, the only solution that the respective leaders of France and Germany, the two most powerful economic members of the EU, see as a way out of their economic woes is going to be to hand total control for the running of the EU over to just one man, just as they are doing right now.

Initially, when Jesuit Herman Van Rompuy was appointed as the first ever full time president of the EU people scoffed at any suggestion he could be the Antichrist. When instead, what they were looking for a man who would rule with an iron fist. What seems to have happened is that Satan who had brought forth a man that appeared to be everything that the Antichrist was not supposed to be, meek and humble. Some politicians even described the newly appointed EU president as having the charisma of a damp rag, and the all the appearance of a bank clerk, not that there is anything wrong with bank clerks.

Yet, if we look what has happened ever since his appointment as the leader of the European Union Council of Ministers we can note that history is indeed repeating itself again. Just as soon as he came to power one of the first things that he managed to do was to subdue three nations (3) nations, just as the prophecy said would be the case. Those nations were Greece, Ireland and Portugal, the nations offered bailout packages because of the economic crisis they were facing, and still are facing, at the time of the writing of this piece.

Van Rompuy now heads the 17 member nations of the Eurozone. There is yet another suggestion he is going to lead the United States of Europe. That would then give him ultimate power over every member nation and thus every individual with the entire sphere of the EU. If that were ever the case then there would be really nothing at all that is going to defeat him from taking over one fourth of the world just as the prophecy of Revelation Chapter 6 said would be the case.

KING JAMES VERSION: REVELATION CHAPTER 6, VERSE 8

And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.

There also really needs to be special note of just how what has happened thus far ties in with the prophecies of Revelation Chapter 13, which make very clear that the Beast has ten crowns, ten horns and seven heads.

KING JAMES VERSION: REVELATION CHAPTER 13 VERSES 1 TO 3

1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. 2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.

It has been quite a long time since I went to school but when I did, 10 crowns +10 Horns +7 heads = 27 nations, the total number of member nations of the EU.

The European Union is composed of 27 sovereign Member States: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom.

The ten horns of the Antichrist are ten countries (Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Sweden, and the United Kingdom) are EU members but do not use the euro.

Of the remaining 17 Eurozone countries Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Portugal, Slovenia, Slovakia, and Spain: ten nations, Austria, Cyprus, Estonia, Finland, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Portugal, Slovenia, and Slovakia are the ten crowns of the prophecy.

The remaining seven nations are the governing bodies, or heads: Belgium, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, and Portugal.

As an adjunct, when it says the Antichrist receives a wound to death, it does not infer the Antichrist receives a wound that results in his death and then miraculously recovers by having a resurrection akin to the resurrection of Christ. With Satan that is impossible as Satan only takes life and souls -- but does not give life.

The third verse of Revelation Chapter 13 refers to one of the heads as having a fatal wound. See the aforementioned. That is, it refers to one of the governing bodies of the eurozone as having a fatal wound. Therefore, it does not refer to the man, the Antichrist, as having a fatal wound, but instead refers to a nation - Belgium.

More correctly, it is telling us the Antichrist is an ex Belgium Prime Minister. The founder of the EU was Henri Spaak, a former Belgium Prime Minister is the one who has had the fatal wound, but the wound healed when another Belgium Prime Minister, Herman Van Rompuy, replaces him.

Therefore the verses are telling us that the Antichrist from Belgium and is an ex Belgium Prime Minister, as per the above mentioned.

Please note: The above explanation does not give me the right to say, or make claim to being a prophet, as I am not saying right here right now that I am to see into the future, but that I have only noted the aforementioned after the prophecy has been fulfilled, and not before. Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

The Seven Heads, Ten Horns and Ten Crowns of the Antichrist!

Some people are saying over the Internet that I have allegedly said that the newly appointed president of the EU, Herman Van Rompuy, was undeniably the Antichrist. However, that was not what I had said at all. Instead, what I had said was that he fits the general description of the Antichrist, but, and this is a very big, BUT, that I would not know for sure who the Antichrist was until I saw him confirm a seven year covenant between Israel and Palestine.

[N.B. At the time of the writing of this piece, I also believe that if the world is to see a separate Palestinian state that whoever signed off on that more than likely would be the Antichrist.]

At the time of this writing that has not happened. As that is the case, I am then NOT saying that Van Rompuy is the Antichrist until I see him confirm a seven-year covenant and then break the treaty midway through the seven years and then move into a newly built temple, and from there proclaim to be God reincarnate here on the earth.

There is no information that I have any access to at all that says that Van Rompuy is going to confirm a seven-year covenant between Israel and Palestine. Accordingly, there is no point in my claiming to know something that I do not. To do so is nothing more than pie in the sky type of stuff. If any such information were to come forth, it needs substantiation otherwise it is nothing more than just pure conjecture with no real facts whatsoever.

However, that is not to advocate that any other information comparative to the suggestion that Van Rompuy is the Antichrist should be dismissed out of hand as being irrelevant or inconsequential just because we have not seen the latter portions of the prophecies concerning the Antichrist (as has been mentioned above) fullfilled. Coincidentally, there are some who are appearing to suggest that should be the case?

On the contrary, there is a great deal of information that is readily available to suggest, (that indeed) there are very strong indicators to suggest that Van Rompuy is the Antichrist even though the latter portions of the prophecies concerning the Antichrist have not (as yet) come to pass.

As the old saying goes, the proof of the pudding is in the eating. Accordingly, as proof positive of one's point of view all that is required in this instance is reference to the Holy Scriptures.

The situation that I am about to make mention of here does not refer to something that is away off into the future, but instead refers to something that has already taken place? Therefore, we are speaking here in terms of a situation that is occurring and ongoing even as I write this piece. Not something suggested by those who study Bible prophecy in which they suggest what is going to happen comparative to the Antichrist is a long way off into the future or that he has to move into a temple before we would know just who he is.

May I also note the glaring obvious information that I am going to mention here is not dependant on other prophecies happening as if to prove what has already taking place?

Even though I am presenting certain facts here, there are still those who study Bible prophecy that will not change a point of view they had been taught years and years ago, no matter what information one is able to present to contradict their particular perspective. To those I would say let them carry on with their own system of belief, as the truth, and the whole truth of the matter, will come out sooner rather than later.

As most of those who have been students of prophecy over a number of years would realize the first half of Revelation Chapter 13 refers to the Antichrist, while the second portion of Revelation Chapter 13 refers to the False Prophet. Accordingly, for the sake of this exercise we need to study the first portion of Revelation Chapter 13 only.

REVELATION CHAPTER 13 VERSES 1 TO 10
1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.
10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.

There was a time, not all that long ago at around about the end of 2009, those who study the Bible prophecies were eagerly awaiting the approval of the Lisbon Treaty. We knew that from that point onwards what were effectively going to see was going to be the confirmation of the EU constitution. Once that had taken place, those of us who study Bible prophecy would more than likely see the Antichrist revealed in that in the appointment as the first ever full time president of the EU.

Those of us who were watching Bible prophecy for a number of years were slightly disappointed at the time the announcement was made as to just who was going to be the first ever full time president of the EU for a number of reasons. The main reason being they had thought that in the appointment of the EU president, they were going to get a man of enormous charisma who was going to represent the EU on the world stage. Instead, what they had gotten instead as the first ever full time president of the EU was someone who seemed to represent the complete opposite in the form of Herman Van Rompuy.

When instead, what they were looking for a man who would rule with an iron fist. What seems to have happened is that Satan who had brought forth a man that appeared to be everything that the Antichrist was not supposed to be, meek and humble. Some politicians even described the newly appointed EU president as having the charisma of a damp rag, and the all the charm of a bank clerk.

Just as soon as he came to power one of the first things that he managed to do was to subdue three nations (3) nations, just as the prophecy said would be the case. Those nations were Greece, Ireland and Portugal, the nations offered bailout packages because of the economic crisis they were facing, and still are facing, at the time of the writing of this piece.

There has also been another quite clever ploy by Satan that also seems to have fooled everyone. Instead, of appointing the first ever full time president of the EU as the president of the United States, meaning that the cat would be out of the bag so to speak relative to his correct identity, what he had done instead was to simply appoint Van Rompuy as the president of the European Union Council of Ministers. What that really meant was that as the president of the Council of Ministers, he really did not have a great deal of power at all - but that was all to change later on down the track.

There are 17 member nations in the EU and keeping in mind that as the president of the Council of Ministers Van Rompuy represents the 27 member nations of the EU and that after that appointment as the president of the Council of Ministers, he has since been further promoted to head of the Economic Government of Europe.

The 27 member nations of the EU are:

Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom.[

These are the 17 nations mentioned above who have adopted the Euro.

The Eurozone currently consists of Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, and Spain.

As per the prophecy of Revelation Chapter 13, seven of those nations are the heads, or the governing bodies. (Including Belgium) The remaining numbers of those 10 nations are the ten CROWNS mentioned in the prophecy.

There are 27; member nations of the EU there are still 10 member nations of the EU outside the eurozone that do not use the euro. Those ten nations are Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Sweden, and the United Kingdom.

Those nations mentioned in the prophecy as the CROWNS that are upon the HORNS. The second verse is quite self-explanatory so there is no need to explain it in any detail as that is not the purpose of this article.

If we were then to add those nations mentioned in the prophecy as being the ten horns, the ten crowns, and the seven heads we would then be able to see that what that totals up to is 27, with there being 27 member nations of the EU. Is that a coincidence, I think not.

Right about now there are going to be some who are thinking, well what I have said above is correct, but that still does not mean Van Rompuy is the Antichrist but that all that is happening is that everything is being set up so that the real Antichrist could simply take over. However, if that were the case and one more nation happened to join the EU, then that would effectively through a complete spanner in the works and make the prophecy of the 27 nations untrue. As that is the case, then what we are seeing unfolding would have to make the now the correct fulfilment of the prophecies and not some future event.

As an adjunct, when it says the Antichrist receives a wound to death, it does not infer the Antichrist receives a wound that results in his death and then miraculously recovers by having a resurrection akin to the resurrection of Christ. With Satan that is impossible as Satan only takes life and souls -- but does not give life.

The third verse refers to one of the heads as having a fatal wound. See the aforementioned. That is, it refers to one of the governing bodies of the eurozone as having a fatal wound.

Therefore, it does not refer to the man, the Antichrist, as having a fatal wound, but instead refers to a nation - Belgium. More correctly, it is telling us the Antichrist is an ex Belgium Prime Minister.

The founder of the EU was Henri Spaak, a former Belgium Prime Minister is the one who has had the fatal wound, but the wound healed when another Belgium Prime Minister, Herman Van Rompuy, replaces him.

Therefore the verses are telling us that the Antichrist from Belgium and is an ex Belgium Prime Minister, as per the above mentioned.

Please note: The above explanation does not give me the right to say, or make claim to being a prophet, as I am not saying right here right now that I am to see into the future, but that I have only noted the aforementioned after the prophecy has been fulfilled, and not before. Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

Date setting, is it right or wrong, and if it is wrong, why is that the case?

There is really no one who readily comes to mind lately of whom I would consider as being a reliable student of Bible prophecy. That sounds like a very sad indictment on those who profess men of God and are supposed to be teaching those who are yet uneducated relative to the word of God the correct interpretation of the scriptures. That statement of course does not apply to most of those who claim to be men of God. Nevertheless, there are still large number(s) of those who claim to be Christian pastors that statement applies to?

All that I have seen thus far are nothing more than theories of one sort or another from most of those who are Christian writers and profess to know the truth. The facts of the matter are that there are still so many that are so far off the mark that it really is quite unbelievable. Of course, all that the majority of these alleged men of God teach is just something that is so far off into the future that by the time the dates they have set come about, most of what they said in their writings, would have forgotten about by the time the dates they have set comes around anyway. That always seems to be the case when their writings prove repeatedly to be just so wrong that there is really no point at all in discussing what they are alleging in the first place.

Therefore, what we really need to be concerned with is what are happening now and not what some men think is going to happen well within the future, when 9 times out of 10 those said same men/women are usually wrong anyway.

There are several indications in the word of God relative to just how certain events relative to the remainder of the Bible prophecies are going to pan out. What I mean by that is that there are certain events that must take place, say for example before the Lord returns back onto the earth. However, there is absolutely no indication whatsoever relative to just when, or as to the timing, of when those said same events are going to pan out. That is, there are no dates at all in the word of God that I am aware of even after having read the Bible from cover to cover numerous times over the forty years that I have been a Christian. Therefore, those who are now coming forth with this date or that date, such as the 21st of December 2012, indicating that there is going to be some form of a paradigm shift are so wide of the mark that it is really quite laughable.

Accordingly, my best advice would be to ignore these sensationalists, as all that they are seeking to do is to attract attention to their respective causes with nothing more than blatant scaremongering. Concluding, date setting is wrong and those who usually indulge in this satanic practice do so for no other reason other than for their own financial benefits. Keep well clear of them at all costs.

Most French believe Sarkozy will lose election: poll

(Reuters) - Two thirds of French voters believe President Nicolas Sarkozy will lose next year's elections if he runs -- including more than half of his own party's supporters, a survey showed Sunday.

Sarkozy, whose popularity slid back to near record lows in September, is yet to announce whether he will run for the presidency next April and May, but according to a poll by ViaVoice for left-leaning daily newspaper Liberation, 68 percent of people think he would lose the election.

Sarkozy's government was dealt a sharp blow this week, just seven months before the election, when left-wing candidates wrested control of the Senate for the first time in more than 50 years.

The survey of 1,007 people of voting age was conducted between Sep. 29 and October 1 with those polled citing Sarkozy's economic policies and public debt and deficit issues as their main cause for concern.

Worryingly for Sarkozy, 54 percent of those supporting his UMP party said they did not think he would win the election.

With a week until the first round of the opposition Socialists' presidential primary, former party leader Francois Hollande continues to be its most popular candidate.

According to the ViaVoice survey, the general public would prefer French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe to run as the presidential candidate from Sarkozy's party, although 54 percent of UMP voters still think the president would be the best man to run.

If Sarkozy loses office, next year, does that then take him out of contention for the role of the False Prophet, who in turn gives his backing to the Antichrist? On the contrary, he would then be able to take up the role as the head of the IMF once it became vacant. The False Prophet forces everyone to take his mark for buying and selling.

As the head of the IMF Sarkozy would be then be in the ideal place to do just that, as it seems that he is positioning himself ideally to achieve a dual role with the EU president, Van Rompuy, in running the Revised Roman Empire of the EU.

What is wrong with Israel?

One thing is claiming to be the victim all the time, over centuries. Another is acting in the same way, or worse, as those who are criticized for treating Jews badly. Certainly, Israel has the right to exist as a member of the international community…surely that is right but only if it behaves as such?

An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth! Is that right or not? Human rights for those who behave as human beings, is then right. Obviously it is.

Therefore, those nations, which do not behave as members of the international community, logically, should forfeit their rights to membership, just like a member of a sports club should be banned if he does not pay the fees or breaks the rules.

So why is Israel always playing the victim card, when it violates international law? If Israel accepts the notion “an eye for an eye” then it cannot complain when inevitably the type of violations it commits daily go full cycle and are visited upon Tel Aviv. Is that right or not? However, to say such is anti-Semitism (an idiotic statement, because all the term means is “anti-Semitic” as regards Semitic languages, as per Hebrew and Arabic).

The main contributor towards the hatred in the international community towards Israel is not the Jews living their lives in Moscow, London, Teheran, Addis Ababa or Jerusalem, but rather, the actions of the state of Israel. Let us not pussyfoot around here, let us have it out.

Israel tries to hide behind cowardly fences it builds for itself, namely making it a crime to question the existence of the Holocaust in many countries. Why the hysteria, why the exponential ultra-defensive posture regarding what seems to be obvious? For many of those who have visited concentration camps from the Second World War, there was never any doubt, until it became a crime to doubt.

Who is trying to cover up what? But why? Who made it a crime to speak about the African Holocaust, slavery, which was visited not upon 6 (?) million souls but probably nearer to 70 million?

The way Israel behaves these days raises serious questions as to the integrity of this “people”, if indeed Israelis can be called a single people and not a motley collection of Ethiopians, Finns, Frenchmen, Dutchmen, Americans, Palestinians and Russians, to name but a few.

While the actions of individuals are from those of the State, it is clear that Tel Aviv has a problem, a serious problem. That continuing problem places in question any continued goodwill towards the State of Israel’s right to exist, as it stands today, among many in the international community.

However, the Lord gave the promised of Israel to the Jews in 1948.

We are still living in Biblical times in that what God has said in the past must be fullfilled.

Over the years, it suffered attacks due to the abominable treatment of Palestinians (thrown out of their homes and lands as Jewish settlers started to arrive) and due to overwhelming military backing from the USA, managed to push back its original borders to areas claimed as a “Greater Israel” in Biblical texts.

By claiming the land that was promised to them by God in times gone by and then now going forth and claiming that land, in effect, they are not illegally occupying the land of the Palestinians if they were promised the land to begin with by God.

That is the case if they are occupying only land promised to them (in the first place) by God. That is not to say that if they are occupying land not given to them according to the scriptures then that occupation is illegal.

Israel is the promised land of the Jews, irrespective of if the Palestinians occupy it right now or not. It is their land and they are entitled to it. There is no one who is going to argue with God - least of all yours truly.

That is not to say that I think that the Judaism is the correct religion or that the Jews are Gods chosen people as they rejected Christ -- just as the majority are still rejecting him to this day. The land of Israel is the fulfilment of promise (by God) to the Jews to return to their homeland, and that is all it is.

That does not mean Israel still have to abide by international law even if that involves a two state solution to the current and ongoing crises in the region.

The solution to the current difficulties can only come when the Jews have occupied all of the land that was promised to them by God irrespective of whether or not that occupation is illegal in the eyes of the world or not.

It comes as no surprise that the Secretary-General of the UNO calls for an immediate halt to the illegal programme to build 1,600 new housing units in East Jerusalem. Those who know Benjamin Netanyahu as an inconsequential office boy half a century ago would not be that surprised, because Benjamin Netanyahu has never been anything more than the puppet of the gray forces controlling him.

Not only are the new settlements illegal under international law, they also violate the terms of the Roadmap for Peace.

Apart from this, the Gaza blockade against innocent civilians, including women and children, is contributing towards fuelling more anti-Israeli hatred and worse, towards the creation of criminal networks supporting an illegal economy, according to UN reports. Alternatively, is this what Israel wants?

For every day that passes, the international community feels more admiration for the resilience and courage of Gaza citizens and more and more sullen hatred for the pariah regime that builds illegal colonies and strangles the rights of civilians, including women and children.

A country built on the basis of goodwill after the horrific and barbaric treatment meted out to Jews and after the 6 (?) million milestone became accepted finally among the international community after take 2 (WW2), Israel and Israelis could have done far better in terms of managing the process with a view to implementing a two-state policy in the region.

While there is no doubt whatsoever that the Holocaust took place (not only in Germany but also in the three Baltic States, Poland, Romania and practically every other country to have joined NATO recently.

Is this a pre-requisite for membership?) and while Israel’s right to exist is unquestionable, it is also true that if Israel wishes to become a member of the international community (and a very recent member at that) then it has the obligation to respect international law.

In addition, when we speak of the Holocaust, we are referring to gypsies, Slavs and other groups considered as "sub-human" by the Nazis, including several religious groups and persons whose sexuality was expressed in ways considered deviant by the Fuhrer.

Will there be a separate Palestinian state shortly -- and if so what are going to be the consequences for Israel and the rest of the world?

The Palestinian people are "long overdue" in their quest for an independent state, United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said on Friday, ahead of a Palestinian push for statehood in the UN planned for later this month.

That date is to be decided. Nevertheless, some are touting the 23rd, which is a Friday. Yet, there are others who have made mention of the Wednesday or even the Thursday as the final date. Therefore, at this stage it is unclear as to just what the final date will be.

Given the current evidence available, my best bet for correctly identifying the Antichrist is the head of the Euro Zone, Herman Van Rompuy. Van Rompuy is going to address the United Nations on the subject matter of a separate Palestinian state on the 22nd of this month.

As the name of this game is Bible Prophecy relative to world events, I may not be wrong here in assuming that what we are seeing unfolding on the world stage in relation to a separate Palestinian state may turn out to have a direct correlation with the treaty of Daniel Chapter 9, Verse 27.

Dan 9, 27: Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week; but in the middle of the week, He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate, even until the consummation, which is determined, is poured out on the desolate.”

That is not to say that what I am inferring is that this is necessarily going to be the aforementioned treaty (although it may be) but that the treaty is going to follow shortly afterwards. If that is to be the case, then all I can say is so much for the alleged pre-tribulation theory of the rapture. Once the treaty of Daniel is, signed one can almost kiss that goodbye as being nothing more than a fantasy.

Ban's comments came a day after Palestinian activists launched a campaign for the recognition of a Palestinian state in the United Nations. The move contradicts earlier reports that the Palestinian Authority was the one who issued the request.

In a letter addressed to Ban's Ramallah office, Palestinian activists urged the leader of the international community to "exert all possible efforts toward the achievement of the Palestinian people's just demands."

Speaking on Friday, the UN chief was quoted by the French news agency AFP as saying he fully supported Palestinian statehood: "The two state vision where Israel and Palestinians can live... side by side in peace and security -- that is a still a valid vision and I fully support it."

"In addition, I support the statehood of Palestinians; an independent, sovereign state of Palestine. It has been long overdue," Ban told reporters in Canberra, adding that a "recognition of a state is something to be determined by the member states."

Ban stressed the point further, saying, according to AFP, that it was not a decision to be made "by the Secretary General so I leave it to the member states to decide to recognize or not to recognize."

The UN chief's comments came following an Haaretz report, according to which White House Middle East emissaries Dennis Ross and David Hale met Wednesday with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and made it clear to him that a request to the United Nations for recognition in about two weeks of an independent Palestinian state could have serious implications.

For his part, Abbas said the Palestinian request for recognition of statehood within the 1967 borders had reached a point of no return and he could not retract it.

Ross and Hale also met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defence Minister Ehud Barak in the course of their visit to the region, but the trip aimed at applying last-minute pressure on the Palestinian president.

An Israeli source with knowledge of the details of the meeting between the visiting Americans and Abbas noted this was the first time the Americans spelled out the full negative implications of the Palestinian request to the UN.

That is the good news. However, some quite bad news which may be right around the corner for Israel if there were ever to be a separate Palestinian agreed to, and then signed off on?

The deadlock in the Arab-Israeli negotiations is over the well-founded fear on the part of the Israeli public that the Palestinians have not given up their long-term goal of destroying the Jewish state. Until those fears will be allayed, the Israeli public will not easily agree to the creation of a sovereign Palestinian state on its borders with the power to arm itself and become a military threat.

After refusing to allay Israeli fears during the ongoing direct negotiations, the Palestinians opted to present their case for sovereignty to a U.N. audience that is not sensitive to this issue. That is not reassuring to the Israeli public.

There is paranoia within the public of Israel that goes well and truly beyond the norms of being reasonable, that may as yet be well and truly founded if those who find the following applicable verses give us any indication at all of what may just be right around the corner for Israel once the Palestinian state is created.

Zechariah 14: Behold, the day of the Lord is coming, and your spoil will be divided in your midst. For I will gather all the nations to battle against Jerusalem; the city shall be taken, the houses rifled, and the women ravished. Half of the city shall go into captivity, but the remnant of the people shall not be cut off from the city.

That is not to say that the whole world should also be now if fear of the Lord if what has been prophesied happens within a very short space of time.

Then the Lord will go forth and fight against those nations, as He fights in the day of battle. And in that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, which faces Jerusalem on the east.

Disclaimer: I am neither pro, nor anti - Israel and so in compiling this article there was no thought whatsoever as to the well being, or otherwise, of the Jewish state of Israel. Therefore, as that was not a consideration at all when I made this report, and that is the case, as my stance towards the Jewish state in this instance is quite irrelevant. There are those who are Born Again Christians who seem to believe that it is compulsory for those who are Christian to side on the side of Israel over all matters. However, there is nothing in the word of God that says that is to be the case at all when all that the word of God says is that Israel is God's chosen land, but not that the Jews (or Jews anywhere around the world for that matter) who inhabit Israel are Gods chosen people. On the contrary, those who inhabit Israel are for the most part Antichrists, or unsaved and as that is the case, there are only 144,000 saved at the end of it all. However, that still does not mean that those who choose to go against Gods chosen land will still not suffer the repercussions prophesied to occur against those nations who choose to do so.

The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse have now saddled up...

Economic Terrorists Seek ‘United States of Europe’

Plan For ‘European Economic Government’ Was Brainchild Of Nazis.

European globalists are committing another act of economic terrorism by exploiting the euro debt crisis in a bid to create a “United States of Europe.”

European Council president Herman van Rompuy has announced he is ready to spearhead the group, a move that frighteningly parallels plans by top Nazis, many of whom went on to found the EU, and their mission to build a continent-wide economic government.

EU leaders are fear mongering over the consequences of member states abandoning the single currency, warning that a euro collapse would lead to martial law and even civil war.

Their “solution” is to hand themselves even more power to create a common economic policy that all member states would be forced to follow at the expense of their national sovereignty, a de facto financial government for the whole of Europe.

“European Council president Herman van Rompuy said yesterday that he was ready to run for a second term as European Union president, to lead a “United States of Europe,” reports the Irish Independent.

“Mr Van Rompuy has announced he is willing to take on the “unfinished” eurozone debt crisis with new powers setting an “economic government” in Brussels.”
Simultaneously, British Prime Minister David Cameron last night said that Britain “must let eurozone countries move towards a United States of Europe with a common economic policy,” reports the Daily Mail.

“The Prime Minister admitted he was not sure whether Germany and other countries had the political will to prevent a break-up of the single currency, but insisted they must be allowed to try – even if that meant closer integration.”

The move to exploit the debt crisis in order to completely eviscerate the economic sovereignty of every EU member by forming a central economic planning committee, a United States of Europe, to which all countries are beholden, is not merely an act of economic terrorism; it’s a chilling throwback to identical proposals that were the brainchild of top Nazis.

Plans to create a federal European economic government in the name of mandating fiscal responsibility and avoiding a repeat of the turmoil in Greece chillingly mirror blueprints concocted in the 1940’s as a means of preserving fascist power at the end of world war two by men who were responsible for founding the EU in the first place.

The European Common Market, the precursor to the European Union, was a brainchild of top Nazis in the 1940’s who wanted to preserve fascist power in the event of defeat in world war two.

US Military Intelligence report EW-Pa 128, also known as The Red House Report, details how top Nazis secretly met at the Maison Rouge Hotel in Strasbourg on August 10, 1944.

Knowing Germany was on the brink of military defeat, conspired to create a Fourth Reich – a pan-European economic empire based around a European common market, precisely what the new Economic government proposal backed by the likes of Cameron and van Rompuy calls for.

Wealthy Nazi industrialists like Alfred Krupp of Krupp Industries and Friedrich Flick, as well as front companies like BMW, Siemens and Volkswagen, set about the task of building a new pan-European business empire. According to historian Dr Michael Pinto-Duschinsky, an adviser to Jewish former slave laborers, “For many leading industrial figures close to the Nazi regime, Europe became a cover for pursuing German national interests after the defeat of Hitler….The continuity of the economy of Germany and the economies of post-war Europe is striking. Some of the leading figures in the Nazi economy became leading builders of the European Union.”

The foundations for the EU and ultimately the Euro single currency were laid by the secretive Bilderberg Group in the mid-1950’s. Bilderberg’s own leaked documents prove that the agenda to create a European common market and a single currency formulated by Bilderberg in 1955. One of the group’s principle founders was H. Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands, a former Nazi SS officer.

However, the ideological framework for the European Union goes back even further, to the 1940’s when top Nazi economists and academics outlined the plan for a single European economic community, an agenda that was duly followed after the end of the second world war.

In his 1940 book The European Community, Nazi Economics Minister and war criminal Walther Funk wrote about the need to create a “Central European Union” and “European Economic Area” and for fixed exchange rates, stating “No nation in Europe can achieve on its own the highest level of economic freedom which is compatible with all social requirements…

The formation of very large economic areas follows a natural law of development….interstate agreements in Europe will control [economic forces generally]…There must be a readiness to subordinate one’s own interests in certain cases to those of [the EC].”

How different is Funk’s call for governments to subordinate their economic interests to those of Europe compared with Jose Manuel Barroso’s insistence that EU member states should be forced to “institute structural reforms under pain of financial sanctions”? The similarity is frightening.

Funk’s co-authors echoed his sentiments. Nazi academic Heinrich Hunke wrote, “Classic national economy..is dead…community of fate which is the European economy…fate and extent of European co-operation depends on a new unity economic plan”.

A “new unity economic plan,” this is precisely what Cameron and Van Rompuy are proposing – centralized financial control over the economies of Europe ruled by Brussels.

Fellow Nazi Gustav Koenig observed, “We have a real European Community task before us…I am convinced that this Community effort will last beyond the end of the war.”

In 1940, Minister of Propaganda Joseph Goebbels ordered the creation of the “large-scale economic unification of Europe,” believing that “in fifty years’ time [people would] no longer think in terms of countries.” Just 53 years later, the European Union in its current form was established.

Therefore, you have one of Hitler’s most loyal Nazi allies calling for “Economic unification of Europe,” and now former German Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer is demanding the establishment of “a financial oversight body with the teeth to assert control over the finances of member states.”

Even on the face of it, the fact that the EU, which began as a free trade area, is now seeking to have its unelected members directly control national economies, is completely dictatorial, authoritarian, and represents the anti-thesis of any notion of democracy or representation of the people of Europe.

Add to the fact exactly the same agenda was pursued by one of the most notoriously criminal and barbaric regimes in history, then and surely alarm bells should be ringing?

Other top Nazis who called for the creation of a pan-European federal economic superstate include Ribbentrop, Quisling and Seyss-Inquart, who spoke of “The new Europe of solidarity and co-operation among all its people… will find…rapidly increasing prosperity once national economic boundaries are removed.”

Most of the individuals who hold the reins of power in the European Union are not Nazis, indeed, they probably believe themselves to be fair-minded liberals working for the “greater good”. However, the European Union by its very nature is totalitarian, because it seeks to remove power from national governments accountable to their electorate and centralize it into the hands of supra-national entities that are accountable to nobody but himself or herself.

It also seeks to remove the right of free speech for anyone in a position of influence who criticizes this agenda.

The fact that the EU was a brainchild of top Nazi economists and industrialists, formulated as a means of preserving dictatorial power and then implemented by former Nazi working under the auspices of the Bilderberg Group in 1955, proves that the entire European Union system is poisoned with a legacy and a raison d’être of totalitarianism.

The additional knowledge that the European Union is now pursuing identical economic policies to those voiced by top Nazis, (several of whom went on to found the EU in its embryonic stages)

That in itself is a chilling reminder of how fundamentally anti-democratic and fascist the EU is becoming as it swallows up more power from member states and appoints itself as the supreme dictator of an entire continent.

The European Union will fight tooth and nail to protect the single currency from collapsing because, as top Bilderberger and Harvard professor Kenneth Rogoff made clear in a recent Financial Times piece. The plan for a globalized currency system is wholly dependent on the survival of the Euro, which almost certainly would be destroyed if the Greeks or any other member states were to default and ditch the single currency.

“The euro experiment has also brought us to a crossroads in the whole international monetary system,” wrote Rogoff. “Will our grandchildren inherit a world with a huge number of national currencies, or a very small number of multifunction currencies?”
