����������������� SIGNS LEADING UP TO THE COMING OF CHRIST
���������������� ‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑
����������������
By Ronald Tyler����������������������������� ���������������������07/19/94
������������ Fifty four years ago, a Theologian, Dr. Donald Barnhowser a
������ Presbyterian, listed some trends that he felt Scriptures indicated
������ the signs of the last times before the return of Christ.� Here are
������ just some of his findings........
������
������
������ 1) The regathering of Israel in her land.� Amos 9:15:
������
������ I will plant Israel in their own land, never again to be uprooted
������ from the land I have given them, says the Lord your God.
������
������ Matthew 24:34: I tell you the truth, this GENERATION WILL CERTAINLY
������ WILL NOT PASS AWAY until all these things have happened.
������
������ In 1948, Israel became a nation, and in the 1967 war, Israel got
������ Jerusalem back as their capital.� It must be remembered that������� Jerusalem
������ was destroyed in 70 AD.� Jews are still to this day are returning to
������ their land from all over the world. Jesus said the parable of the fig
������ tree (Matthew 24:32) would indicate that he was at the door ready to
������ return.� Then he said: This generation will not pass away until all
������ these things have happened. We are that generation! When Christ says:
������ "these things", he is referring to also when the signs of the great
������ tribulation comes. All these things that Jesus refers to is in
������ Matthew 24:1‑35, (in verse 16, Judea is Israel). Jesus says Judea
������ flees to the mountains, so here is another sign that Israel would
������ become a nation, which happened in 1948!
������
������
������
������ 2) The establishing of the United Europe, (the E.U.) Daniel 7:7‑24:
������
��������� After that, in my vision at night I looked, and their before me
��������� was a fourth Beast terrifying and frightening and very powerful.
��������� It had large iron teeth, it crushed and devoured its victims and
��������� trampled underfoot whatever was left. It was different from all
��������� the former Beast, and had TEN HORNS. While I was thinking about
��������� the horns, there before me was ANOTHER HORN, a LITTLE ONE, which
��������� came up among them, and THREE OF THE FIRST HORNS WAS UPROOTED
��������� before it. This horn had eyes like the eyes of a man and a mouth
��������� that spoke boastfully. As I looked, thrones were set in place, and
��������� the Ancient of Days took his seat. His clothing was as white as
��������� snow, and hair of his head was white as wool. His throne was
��������� flaming with fire, and its wheels were all ablaze. A river of fire
��������� was flowing, coming out before him. Thousands upon thousands
��������� attended him, ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him.
��������� The court was seated, and the books were opened. Then I continued
��������� to watch because of the boastful words the horn was speaking. I
��������� kept looking until the Beast was slain and its body destroyed
��������� and thrown into the blazing fire. (The other Beasts had been
��������� striped of their authority, but were allowed to live for a period
��������� of time.) In my vision at nite I looked, and there before me was
��������� one like a son of man, coming with the clouds of heaven. He
��������� approached the Ancient of Days and was led into his presence. He
������ ���was given authority, glory and sovereign power, all peoples,
��������� nations and men of every language worshiped him. His dominion is
��������� an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and his kingdom
��������� is one that will never be destroyed.
���������
�������������������� The interpretation of the Dream
������������������� ‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑
�������������������
�������������������
��������� I Daniel, was troubled in spirit, and the vision that passed
��������� through my mind disturbed me. I approached one of those standing
��������� there and asked him the true meaning of all this. So he told me
��������� and gave me the interpretation of these things.� The four great
��������� Beast are four kingdoms that will rise from the Earth. But the
��������� Saints of the most High will receive the kingdom and will possess
��������� it forever‑yes, for ever and ever. Then I wanted to know the true
��������� meaning of the fourth Beast, which was different from all the
����� ����others and most terrifying, with its iron teeth and bronze claws‑
��������� the Beast that crushed and devoured its victims and trampled under
��������� foot whatever was left. I also wanted to know about the ten horns
��������� on its head and about the other horn that came up, before which
��������� three of them fell‑the horn that looked more imposing than the
��������� others and had eyes and a mouth that spoke boastfully. As I
��������� watched, this horn was waging war against the Saints and defeating
��������� them, until the Ancient of Days came and pronounced judgment in
��������� favor of the Saints of the Most High, and the time came when they
��������� possessed the Kingdom. He gave me this explanation: The fourth
��������� Beast is a fourth kingdom that will appear on Earth. It will be
��������� different from all the other kingdoms and will devour the whole
��������� Earth, trampling it down and crushing it. The ten horns are ten
��������� kings who will come from this kingdom. After them another king
��������� will arise, different from the earlier ones, he will subdue three
��������� kings. He will speak against the Most High and oppress his saints
��������� and try to change the set times and the laws. The Saints will be
��������� handed over to him for a time, times and half a time.
�����������������������������������������������������������������
������������������������������������������������������������������
��������� In the book: THE NEW EUROPE: MAASTRICHT AND BEYOND, published in
��������� 1993, it talks about more or less, what we have just read in
��������� Daniel. The countries of the European Community decided to build
��������� their future together after centuries of costly warfare.
��������� Their are currently 12 members.� Remember in Daniel it says that
��������� 10 HORNS came about than a little one came up and sprouted 3 horns,
��������� which makes 13 HORNS.� Right now we have 12 horns (COUNTRIES OR
��������� KINGDOMS). It must be remembered that Daniel was talking about
��������� the old Roman Empire, which today is the European Communities.
��������� The 12 member States are: BELGIUM, DENMARK, THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC
��������� OF GERMANY, FRANCE, GREECE, IRELAND, ITALY, LUXEMBOURG, THE
��������� NETHERLANDS, PORTUGAL, SPAIN, AND THE UNITED KINGDOM, plus in
��������� January 1 1995, number 13 will join, this country is AUSTRIA.
��������� So here we have all 13 HORNS (COUNTRIES or KINGDOMS). Now 3 of them
��������� according to the Bible, must fall to where we have 10 HORNS.� It
��������� all began in 1957 when Rome signed a treaty establishing the
��������� European Economic Community, where 6 countries signed with them,
��������� they are: FRANCE, FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF GERMANY, ITALY, BELGIUM, THE
��������� NETHERLANDS, AND LUXEMBOURG. In 1972, THE UNITED KINGDOM, IRELAND
��������� and DENMARK signed and in 1981, GREECE signed. In 1986 SPAIN and
��������� PORTUGAL joined. So here we have 12, and in January 1 1995,
��������� Austria will join making 13 HORNS (COUNTRIES or KINGDOMS).� BUT
��������� Ireland and Denmark were never part of the old Roman Empire.
��������� What� about them? The answer is simple, Daniel 7:8 states: I
��������� considered the HORNS (at the end time), and behold, three came up
������ ���among them (the ten) another little HORN (number 11!) before whom
��������� there were three of the first HORNS PLUCKED UP BY THE ROOTS. Yes,
��������� once a TEN_NATION Western confederacy has been formed, number 11
��������� comes to power, plucks up THREE of the first TEN and replaces
��������� them with HIS OWN and TWO OTHERS. This leader will be the world
��������� dictator and infamous ANTICHRIST!� It would seem that the Bible
��������� is on target once again fulfilling another prophecy!
������ ������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������
��������� Do you think AMERICA'S present and future are predicted in
��������� the Bible? What are these prophecies and where are they
��������� located? (NOTE; This is not from Doctor Barnhowser)
��������� What we are about to read here is from the book: "11:59 and
��������� Counting" by Jack Van Impe.
��������� We are going to look at the following books in the Bible:
��������� Isaiah, Jeremiah and John. We will start with Isaiah.
��������� Isaiah mentions a latter‑day nation that resembles modern
��������� America.
��������� What does Isaiah state?
��������� He says: Woe to the land shadowing with WINGS, which is
��������� beyond the rivers of Ethiopia: that sendeth ambassadors by
��������� saying, Go ye swift messengers, to a nation scattered and
��������� peeled, to a people terrible from their beginning hitherto; a
��������� nation meted out and trodden down, whose land the rivers have
��������� spoiled! (ISAIAH 18:1‑2). From this Doctor Van Impe says the
��������� following:
��������� 1) America's emblem, a bald eagle with outstretched wings,
������������ fulfills the Prophet's description of a land shadowed with
������������ wings.
��������� 2) The nation is beyond the sea from Israel.
��������� 3) This nation is scattered and peeled, meaning spread out
������������ and cultured.
��������� 4) It is measured or staked out as well.
��������� 5) This nation also has spoiled or polluted waterways that
� �����������affect the land.
��������� What does Jeremiah state?
��������� In chapters 50 and 51 of his book, Jeremiah presents
��������� conclusive evidence that a "latter‑day" Babylon shall spring
��������� into existence far different from, and superior to, ancient
��������� Babylon. Modern America seems to be the fulfillment of these
��������� predictions because:
��������� 1) It is a nation of mingled people (Jeremiah 50:37).
������������ America and Russia both have intermingled and interracial
�� ����������inhabitants, but Russia is not in mind as we will prove.
��������� 2) This is a nation whose "mother shall be sore confounded"
������������ (Jeremiah 50:12), coexisting with "mother" at the hour of
������������ its decline. Ancient Babylon does not fit the bill since
������������ it was founded by a father‑Nimrod. However, America's
������������ mother is England who presently is confounded, confused,
������������ and near collapse, financially. This nation no longer is
������������ considered a superpower and soon mother and daughter shall
������������ both be challenged.
��������� 3) According to the prophet, this country "dwellest upon many
������������ waters" (Jeremiah 51:13). This typifies America, bordered
������������ on each side by the worlds's two largest oceans (Atlantic
������������ and Pacific) and possessing the longest river system on
������������ the globe‑the mighty Mississippi/Missouri. Surely ancient
������������ Babylon, composed of barren deserts, was not in view when
��� ���������Jeremiah wrote such prophecies.
��������� 4) This nation's wealth plagues the nations of earth to the
������������ point of insane jealousy, for Jeremiah 51:7 declares:
������������ "Babylon hath been a golden cup in the Lord's
������������ hand...therefore the nations are mad.
��������� 5) This country's space exploits are so utterly fantastic
������������ that it tries to "mount up to heaven" (Jeremiah 51:53).
������������ America's Echo 1, Echo 2, the Telstar satellites' voyages
����������� �to the moon, and unmanned space flights to Mars are
������������ significant in the light of Jeremiah's declarations.
��������� 6) Babylon will exist when Israel is back in its land.
������������ America is only 200 years old, and the new born babe‑
��� ���������Israel‑is a child. the new land of Israel was established
������������ in 1948, meaning that the prophecies could only coexist
������������ since that hour. Who but America can fulfill the
������������ requirements mentioned to this point and coexist with
������������ Israel?
��������� What does John say in the book of Revelation?
��������� He pictures two Babylons. One is portrayed as a WORLD
��������� RELIGION, geographically located on seven hills‑undoubtedly
��������� the seven hills of Rome (Revelation 17:9). The other Babylon
��������� is an internationally respected nation (Revelation 18).
��������� John describes the nation in the following terms:
��������� 1) "The merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the
������������ abundance of her delicacies" (Revelation 18:5).
��������� 2) It is laden with sins (Revelation 18:5).
���������
��������� 3) "She hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously"
������������ (Revelation 18:7). Sadly, this nation's superabundance of
������������ material goods produced idleness and sin.
��������� Are there any specific judgments administered against Babylon
��������� already identified as America?
��������� Dr. Van Impe says most assuredly so! A sneak attack, similar
��������� to Pearl Harbor, is PREDICTED upon Babylon in Jeremiah 50:24.
��������� God says: "I have laid a snare for thee, and thou art also
��������� taken, O Babylon, and thou was not aware." John, in
��������� Revelation 18, describes the effects of this surprise attack.
�������� �The bankers, merchants, and workmen all wail, saying: "Alas,
��������� alas that great city, Babylon, that mighty city! For in one
��������� hour is thy judgment come" (Revelation 18:10).
��������� All these signs, then, are directly related to Christ's
��������� return.
��������� No doubt about it. In fact, it all occurs AFTER the rapture
��������� and just before Christ returns to earth. Christ said in
��������� Matthew 24:29: "Immediately after the tribulation of those
��������� days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give
��������� her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the
��������� powers of the heavens shall be shaken." the sneak attack,
��������� then, is definitely a final tribulation occurrence.
��������� I also heard this sign from Jack Van Impe's television show
��������� on TBN (Trinity Broadcasting Network).
��������� The coming of false peace.� 1 Thessalonians 5:2‑3:
��������� For you know very well that the day of the Lord will come
��������� like a thief in the night. While people are saying "PEACE and
��������� SAFETY", destruction will come on them suddenly as labor
��������� pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.
��������� Paul here is explaining that how God's END‑TIME JUDGMENT
��������� will come on the world. Look at the middle east, Palestine
��������� and Jordan declared peace with Israel, even though they still
��������� have some problems to work out, and now Syria is talking
��������� peace with Israel too! Is this the FALSE PEACE Paul was
��������� talking about?
��������� Now back to Dr. Barnhowser, now this has not took place yet,
��������� but even Jack Van Impe says this could take place very soon.
��������� 3) The uniting of Russia and Germany EZEKIEL 38:1‑6:
��������� The word of the Lord came to me: Son of Man, set your face
��������� against Gog (The ANTICHRIST), of the land of Magog (RUSSIA),
��������� the chief prince of Meshech and Tubel; prophesy against him
��������� and say: This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am against
��������� you O Gog (THE ANTICHRIST), chief prince of Meshech (Moscow) and
��������� Tubel (Tobolsk). I will turn you around, put hooks in your jaws and
��������� bring you out with your whole army‑your horses, your horsemen
��������� fully armed, and a great horde with large and small shields,
��������� all of them brandishing their swords. Persia (IRAN), Cush
��������� (ETHIOPIA) and Put (LIBYA,ARABIC AFRICAN NATIONS) will be
��������� with them, all with shields and helmets, also GOMER (GERMANY)
��������� WITH ALL ITS TROOPS, and Beth Togarmah (ARMENIA) from the far
��������� north with all its troops‑the many nations with you.
��������� Magog is RUSSIA and Gomer is GERMANY. We will see if this
��������� comes to pass as time goes on.
����� ����4) The increase of lawlessness. 2 TIMOTHY 3:13:
��������� While evil men and impostors will go from bad to worse,
��������� deceiving and being deceived.
��������� This is certainly happening today! We have so many false
��������� Teachers now to the point where we have certain churches
��������� minor and major denominations that are being deceived. Don't
��������� expect false teachers and evil people to reform and change on
��������� their own. Left alone, they will go from bad to worse!
�������� �5) The interest in the Spirit world. (spiritism) 1 Timothy
��������� 4:1:
��������� The Spirit clearly says that in LATER TIMES some will abandon
��������� the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by
��������� demons.
��������� Today we have on our televisions these psychics who fit this
��������� description. Paul said the false teachers were hypocritical
��������� liars who encouraged people to follow deceiving spirits and
��������� things taught by demons. Satan deceives people by offering a
��������� clever imitation of the real thing. The false teachers gave
��������� stringent rules. This made them appear self‑disciplined and
��������� righteous. Their strict disciplines for the body, however,
��������� could not remove sin. We must not be unduly impressed by a
��������� teacher's style or credentials; we must look to his teaching
��������� about Jesus Christ.
��������� 6) The thrift towards Secularism and Apostasy in the
��������� churches. 2 Thessalonians 2:3:
��������� Don't let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will
��������� not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of
��������� lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction.
��������� Throughout history there have been individuals (false
��������� Teachers) who epitomized evil and who were hostile to
��������� everything Christ stands for. These Antichrists have lived
��������� in every generation (INCLUDING OURS) and will continue to
��������� work their evil. Today it's worse than it has ever been, even
��������� throughout history! These individuals are in some of the
��������� churches throughout the world today.
��������� 7) An increase in natural catastrophes. Matthew 24:7:
��������� Nations will rise against kingdoms. There will be FAMINES and
��������� EARTHQUAKES in various places. Luke 21:26: Men will faint
��������� from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for
��������� the heavenly bodies will be shaken.
��������� We have more earthquakes and other natural catastrophes in
��������� this generation than in any other generations in the past.
��������� Plus in places where earthquakes are unheard of! We had all
��������� kinds of flooding in the last few years, we have monsoons in
��������� the India ocean and southern Asia, we have hurricanes in the
��������� Atlantic and Pacific oceans that are making landfall causing
��������� severe damage. Thousands of people have been killed do to
��������� these natural catastrophes.
��������� This concludes just some of Doctor Barnhowser's thoughts on
��������� the signs of the return of Christ. Keep in mind that these
��������� thoughts of his was 54 years ago! Do you think that some of
��������� these signs are accurate today?
��������� Here is a Scripture to think about: Psalm 9:17:
��������� The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations
��������� that forget God.
����������������������������� OTHER SIGNS
���������������������������� ‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑
��������� Revelation 6:8: I looked, and there before me was a pale
��������� horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following
��������� close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the
��������� earth to kill by sword, famine, and PLAGUE, and by the wild
��������� beasts of the earth.
��������� You have to wonder if the word PLAGUE could refer to AIDS or
��������� other major diseases that has popped up in the last 10 to 15
��������� years. AIDS has killed hundreds of thousands of people
��������� already. Is this one of the PLAGUES that will help wipe out
��������� the FOURTH PART OF THE EARTH, along with the famines that the
��������� Bible speaks of in the future? Is the stage set?
�������
��������� Zechariah 14:12: This is the PLAGUE with which the Lord will
��������� strike all the nations that fought against Jerusalem: Their
��������� flesh will rot while they are standing on their feet, their
��������� eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongues will rot in
��������� their mouths.
��������� We now have this FLESH EATING BACTERIA that is eating away
��������� slowly at the human body that just developed in the past few
��������� months. It is worth noting that we have NUCLEAR WEAPONS that
��������� can do the same thing in an instant!
��������������
��������� Revelation 16:8: The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the
��������� sun, and the sun was given power to scorch people with fire.
��������� Could this be talking about the OZONE LAYER that is currently
��������� depleting? Look at all of the cases that the sun has caused
��� ������skin cancer.
��������� Revelation 13:15‑18: He (THE ANTICHRIST) was given power to
��������� give breath to the IMAGE OF THE BEAST, so that it could speak
��������� and cause all who refuse to worship the image to be killed.
��������� He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free
��������� and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his
��������� forehead, so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the
��������� mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his
��������� name. This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him
��������� calculate the number of the beast, for it is man's number.
��������� His number is 666.
��������� As far as Revelation 13:15‑18 goes, I would like to share
��������� with you something from USA TODAY: They are now creating or
��������� if not already going to shoot 840 satellites into space, the
��������� satellites are 23,000 miles in orbit, and when they look down
��������� on the earth they can pinpoint one person anywhere on the
��������� earth. Their is also a MEGA COMPUTER in the making in
��������� BELGIUM in LUXEMBOURG. Bank managers have been told about a
��������� totally cashless society as a result of this computer. The
��������� name of this computer is BELGIUM ELECTRONICS ACCOUNTING
��������� SURVEILLANCE TERMINAL, (B.E.A.S.T.). Now is this interesting
��������� or what! "Beast" is in the above scripture that we have just
��������� read! Could this be the IMAGE OF THE BEAST that Revelation
��������� 13:15‑18, is talking about, this mega computer? Plus could
��������� this BEAST or computer keep track of every person on the
��������� earth with the help of these satellites? It is also worth
��������� noting that the United States is at any time now to release
���� �����I.D. cards to all citizens, they are all computer I.D.
��������� cards!
��������� Luke 2:1: And it came to pass in THOSE DAYS, that there went
��������� out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that ALL THE WORLD SHOULD
��������� BE TAXED.
��������� In USA TODAY, they quoted Paul Harvey as saying that at the
��������� UNITED NATIONS as early as THIS OCTOBER of 1994, they could
��������� be voting on a WORLD WIDE TAX.
��������� In Luke 2:1, at this time in history the ROMAN EMPIRE, Luke
��������� mentions this TAX, now we have the revived or revised ROMAN
��������� EMPIRE (EUROPEAN COMMUNITY), which started in 1957 as the
��������� Treaty of Rome was signed.
��������� Matthew 24:3: Many shall come in my name saying I AM THE
��������� CHRIST, and shall deceive many.
��������� Since the year 1900, over 1,100 people claiming to be CHRIST
��������� have appeared on the scene. Just recently, David Koresh, in
��������� the Waco Texas incident, claimed he was the CHRIST!
��������� Revelation 13:11‑15: Then I saw another beast, coming out of
��������� the earth. He had two horns like a lamb, but he spoke like a
��������� dragon. He exercised all the authority of the first beast ON
��������� HIS BEHALF, and made the earth and its inhabitants worship
��������� the first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed.
��������� And he performed great and miraculous signs, even causing
��������� fire to come down from heaven to earth in full view of men.
��������� This is a FALSE PROPHET, another MAN who will be the
� ��������RELIGIOUS LEADER of the Antichrist. In Revelation 13:11‑15,
��������� describes the activities of the FALSE PROPHET who will
��������� perform miracles in support of the world ruler (THE
��������� ANTICHRIST), who is the beast out of the sea who will rule
��������� the 10 KINGDOMS which represents the 10 HORNS in Daniel 7:7‑
��������� 24. Remember that there was 13 horns, then 3 will fall which
��������� will make 10, Daniel 7:20.
��������� the reason I quoted Revelation 13:11‑15, is because I heard a
��������� report that Prince Charles has put in a request to become
��������� KING OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITY! In Revelation 13:1‑11, it
��������� speaks of a FALSE PROPHET a religious leader! He says that I
��������� do not want to be head of the Protestant Church of England. I
��������� want to be head of all these people (THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITY),
��������� and I want to be the religious leader of ZOROASTRIANS!� Now
��������� from what I have learned about this is that in OLD BABYLON,
��������� they had an old religion and it became known as
��������� ZOROASTRIANISM. This was the group Constantine defeated when
��������� he wiped out the armies of Magsentous in 312 A.D. In
��������� Webster's Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary, ZOROASTRIANISM
��������� means a Persian religion founded in the 6th century B.C. by
��������� the Prophet Zoroaster, promulgated in the Avesta, and
��������� characterized by worship of a supreme god Ahura Mazda who
��������� requires men's good deeds for help in his cosmic struggle
��������� against the evil spirit Ahriman. The last world religion
��������� found in Revelation 13:11, that produces this FALSE PROPHET,
��������� has on the forehead a name written: MYSTERY BABYLON THE
��������� GREAT, THE MOTHER OF PROSTITUTES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF
��������� THE EARTH. Who is mystery Babylon, ZOROASTRIANISM!� Could
��������� this be true???� Is it possible that this prophecy is about
��������� to be taking place right now according to what we have just
��������� read?
��������� In Leviticus chapter 23, it speaks of the 7 Feast of Israel.
��������� 1) Passover, which refers to Salvation.
��������� 2) Unleavened Bread, which refers to the Body of Christ, the
������������ bread of Life, the crucifixion.
��������� 3) First fruits, which refers to the Resurrection of Christ.
��������� 4) Pentecost, which refers to the Holy Spirit.
��������� 5) Trumpets, which refers to the Rapture of the Church, which
������������ all believers in Christ is part of the Church which will
������������ be caught up in the Rapture.
��������� 6) Atonement, which is the Tribulation which the book of
������������ Revelation talks about.
��������� 7) Tabernacles, which refers to the Lord's shelter in the world
������������ to come, a rest period.
��������� We may also see God's clever design shown in the earthly
��������� week, the six Feast of work, and the last one (the seventh
��������� Feast) one of rest.
��������� The biblical history has indeed described some six thousand
��������� years, and if we are to foresee the Kingdom, somewhere in the
��������� NEAR FUTURE, then a logical one thousand year REST PERIOD IS
��������� COMING UP!� In 6 days God created the world and on the 7th he
��������� rested. In Genesis 2:2‑3, it states that by the seventh day
��� ������God had finished the work he had been doing, so on the
��������� seventh day he rested from all he work. And God blessed the
��������� seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from
��������� all the work of creating that he had done.
� ��������According to the Bible the times of the beginning of the book
��������� of Genesis to the present day, it has been six thousand
��������� years. Now the other thousand years coming up is the
��������� millennial reign of Christ according to Revelation chapter 20.
��������� Satan will be locked up for one thousand years to keep him
��������� from deceiving in the Nations until the thousand years were
��������� ended.
��������� Now from the New York Times, it says that one particle from
��������� the Comet that hit Jupiter on 07/16‑21/94, would wipe out the
��������� whole Earth. There is a unconfirmed report that a Comet would
��������� hit the Earth sometime after the year 3000. I believe in the
��������� Plain Dealer on Thursday 08/04/94, the government has
��������� approved of a bill that would allow astronomers to search outer
��������� space to find any Comets or Meteors that is one kilometer or
��������� more in size and at least ten years away. Now if you recall
��������� that at the end of the one thousand year reign of Christ, the
��������� earth would be destroyed and a new Earth would be made.
��������� Revelation 21:1: Then I saw a NEW HEAVEN AND NEW EARTH, for
��������� the FIRST HEAVEN AND THE FIRST EARTH HAD PASSED AWAY, and
��������� there was no longer any sea. Is it possible that a Comet or
��������� a huge meteor could destroy the Earth after the millennial
��������� reign of Christ to make way for the new Heaven and new Earth?
��������� And is it possible that the six day and seventh day rest
��������� theory is accurate?
��������� Psalm 90:4: For a thousand years in your sight are like a day
��������� that has just gone by, or like a watch in the night.
��������� 2 Peter 3:8: But do not forget this one thing, dear friends:
�� �������With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand
��������� years are like a day.
��������� Is it also possible that everything that we have just read is
��������� falling into place in our time to fulfill the prophecy of
��������� the Bible? Let's face it, so far every prophecy in the Bible
��������� that has been predicted has been fulfilled, or being fulfilled,
��������� I challenge anyone to read the prophecies of the Bible and look
��������� back in history to confirm it. Not one prophecy has failed!
��������� Whose to say that the predictions of the Bible can't happen
��������� in our time? Just some of the predictions that we have just
��������� read has come to pass!� So if all these prophecies has come to
��������� pass, then the Bible must be Gods true word, think about that!������������������������
��������� Then we have the argument that "well man wrote the Bible",
��������� that is true, but through GOD!
��������� 2 Peter 1:21: For the prophecy came not in old time by the
��������� will of man: but HOLY MEN OF GOD spake as they were MOVED BY
��������� THE HOLY GHOST.
��������� 2 Timothy 3:16: All scripture is given by INSPIRATION OF GOD,
��������� and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction,
��������� for instruction in righteousness.
��������� Oh, by the way, scientist says the Earth is so many millions
��������� of years old, but they can not prove it because they just
��������� recently discovered that CARBON DATING, is not accurate!
��������� But the BIBLE has hit every prophecy that was predicted, and
��������� it came to pass! See for yourself and prove to yourself that
��������� the Bible is accurate in every detail!
��������� How can we avoid these tribulations that are coming?
��������� What must we do to be saved? By simply turning your life over
��������� to Christ!� You see, God is very patient with us, but he
��������� will fulfill his plan very soon! Six thousand years has
��������� already gone by, now if that is not patience, I don't know
��� ������what is!� According to what we have read, whose to say that
��������� we are not living in the last days!� I think our time is very
��������� short here on earth. But you must understand that if we turn
��������� our life over to Christ, we can be SAVED.� It is true that
��������� the Bible says that the wages of sin is death, this is the
��������� punishment that affects us all because of sin. But what is
��������� after death? Well, after death, we will have eternal life! If
��������� you've turned your life over to Christ that is. Heaven and Hell
��������� are real places, so what's the problem with many people
��������� today? They either don't believe in Christ, or Heaven or
��������� Hell, and if that's the case, where did you come from?
������� ��Don't believe in evolution, because the scientist can't prove
��������� it to this day!
��������� I read this from The Dake annotated reference Bible about
��������� evolution: Any denial of God or His plan for man in Scripture
��������� makes Him a liar, and will damn the soul. If some through
��������� ignorance of the Bible think that they can believe in
��������� evolution and the Bible at the same time, they are highly
��������� deceived by Satan, the deceiver of the world. One can not know
������� ��the statements of both the Bible and evolutionist and believe
��������� both. Nor can he be neutral. He must take a stand either for
��������� God and the Bible or for evolution guesses.� "What more can
��������� I say?"
��������� And again, the Bible has not missed one prophecy that is
��������� predicted in the word of God! Look back in history, it proves
��������� itself!� So without a doubt, all things were created by God.
��������� Colossians 1:16: For by him all things were created: things
������ ���in Heaven and on Earth, visible and invisible, whether
��������� thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were
��������� created by him and for him.
��������� I've done my research through the following books: The Bible,
��������� the King James and the New International version, The Dake
��������� annotated reference Bible, The new Strong's exhaustive
��������� concordance of the Bible, Storm Warning by Billy Graham and
��������� The New Europe: Maastricht and beyond. I also watch on the
��������� Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN) the following programs:
��������� "Jack Van Impe." which deals with Bible Prophecies, plus his
��������� book called 11:59 and Counting! Plus a show simply called
��������� "Bible Prophecy," and "The King is Coming". Out of these
��������� following shows on TBN, I got a good deal of information
��������� regarding what we have just read. I have a book that I
��������� think you would be very interested in, it is called PLANET
��������� EARTH‑2000 A.D. by Hal Lindsey, published this year in 1994.
��������� this book covers almost everything that we have covered.
��������� I strongly recommend it! You may find this book in a
��������� Christian book store in your area for around $13.00.
��������� Also on certain scriptures, I used some Life Application Notes
��������� from a computer Bible program that I possess.����������������������������������������
�������������������
��������� If you have questions about your own salvation, I invite you
��������� to experience for yourself the truth of the Bible's teaching
��������� about salvation. Confess your sins to God, trust Jesus
��������� Christ for forgiveness, and then in faith claim God's promise
��������� of forgiveness and eternal life. He will surely give you what
��������� he has promised! He will take and accept you in any state
��������� that you are in, believe and trust in him and follow him, he
��������� will not disappoint you! And remember that he can and will
��������� deliver you from anything that you are suffering from as long
��������� as you ask for deliverance. God gave his only son, Jesus
��������� Christ, to die on the cross for you and me to be delivered
��������� from eternal hell, and to be with him for eternity in heaven!
��������� I would like to give you some scriptures that Bill Graham
��������� arranged in this particular order from his book "Storm
��������� Warning":
��������� Romans 3:12: All have turned away, they have together become
��������� worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one.
��������� 2 Timothy 3:5: Having a form of godliness but denying its
��������� power. Have nothing to do with them.
��������� In 2 Timothy 3:5, The "form" or appearance of godliness
��������� includes going to church, knowing Christian doctrine, using
��������� Christian cliches, and following a community's Christian
��������� traditions. Such practices can make a person look good, but
��������� if the inner attitudes of belief, love, and worship are
��������� lacking, the outer appearance is meaningless. Paul warns us
��������� not to be deceived by people who only appear to be
��������� Christians. It may be difficult to distinguish them from true
��������� Christians at first, but their daily behavior will give them
��������� away.
��������� Romans 3:19: Now we know that whatever the law says, it says
��������� to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be
��������� silenced and the whole world held accountable to God.
��������� In Romans 3:19, The last time someone accused you of
��������� wrongdoing, what was your reaction? Denial, argument, and
��������� defensiveness? The Bible tells us the world stands silent and
��������� accountable before Almighty God. No excuses or arguments are
��������� left. Have you reached the point with God where you are ready
��������� to hang up your defenses and await his decision? If you
��������� haven't, stop now and admit your sin to him. If you have,
��������� then this is truly good news for you!
��������� Ephesians 2:8: For it is by grace you have been saved,
��������� through faith‑‑and this not from yourselves, it is the gift
��������� of God.
��������� In Ephesians, here its when someone gives you a gift, do you
��������� say, "That's very nice‑‑now how much do I owe you?" No, the
��������� appropriate response to a gift is "Thank you." Yet how often
��������� Christians, even after they have been given the gift of
��������� salvation, feel obligated to try to work their way to God.
��������� Because our salvation and even our faith are gifts, we should
��������� respond with gratitude, praise, and joy. We become Christians
��������� through God's unmerited grace, not as the result of any
��������� effort, ability, intelligent choice, or act of service on our
��������� part. However, out of gratitude for this free gift, we will
��������� seek to help and serve others with kindness, love, and
��������� gentleness, and not merely to please ourselves. While no
��������� action or work we do can help us obtain salvation, God's
������ ���intention is that our salvation will result in acts of
��������� service. We are not saved merely for our own benefit, but to
��������� serve Christ and build up the church.
��������� Luke 19:10: For the Son of Man came to seek and to save what
����� ����was lost.
��������� Romans 5:8: But God demonstrates his own love for us in this:
��������� While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
��������� In Romans 5:8, "While we were still sinners‑‑these are
��������� amazing words. God sent Jesus Christ to die for us, not
��������� because we were good enough, but because he loved us.
��������� Whenever you feel uncertain about God's love for you,
��������� remember that he loved you even before you turned to him. If
��������� God loved you when you were a rebel, he can surely strengthen
��������� you, now that you love him in return.
��������� Hebrews 7:25: Therefore he is able to save completely those
��������� who come to God through him, because he always lives to
��������� intercede for them.
� ��������In HEBREWS 7:25, no one can add to what Jesus did to save us;
��������� our past, present, and future sins are all forgiven, and
��������� Jesus is with the Father as a sign that our sins are
��������� forgiven. If you are a Christian, remember that Christ has
��������� paid the price for your sins once and for all. As our high
��������� priest, Christ is our advocate, the mediator between us and
��������� God. He looks after our interest and intercedes for us with
��������� God. The Old Testament high priest went before God once a
��������� year to plead for the forgiveness of the nation's sins;
��������� Christ makes perpetual intercession before God for us.
��������� Christ's continuous presence in heaven with the Father
��������� assures that our sins have been paid for and forgiven. This
��������� wonderful assurance frees us from guilt and from fear of
��������� failure.
��������� Romans 10:13: For, "Everyone who calls on the name of the
��������� Lord will be saved."
��������� Romans 10:9: That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is
��������� Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the
��������� dead, you will be saved.
��������� Romans 10:10: For it is with your heart that you believe and
��������� are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and
��������� are saved.
��������� It is that simple to be saved! The above scriptures that you
��������� have just read make it plain and clear. I also want to make
��������� something else clear, being saved or "born again", does not
��������� mean that you will not have anymore troubles, Jesus never
��������� says this in the Bible, but what he basically says, that he
��������� will help you to overcome problems if you will come unto him.
��������� When this takes place in a Christian's life, it will make that
��������� Christian stronger in his or her walk with Christ. I can
��������� testify to this personally!
��������� Here are some scriptures that the Lord gave me to share:
��������� 1 Corinthians 10:13: No temptation has sized you except what
��������� is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you
��������� be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when tempted, he
��������� will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under
��������� it.
��������� 2 Timothy 2:22: Flee the EVIL DESIRES of youth, and pursue
��������� righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who
��������� CALL ON THE LORD out of a pure heart.
��������� Pray this prayer with me and trust and believe in your
�� �������creator:
��������� Dear God, I confess that I am a sinner and that I need your
��������� forgiveness. I am truly sorry for my sins and humbly ask you
��������� to forgive me and cleanse me. I believe that you Jesus Christ
��������� died for my sins and rose from the dead for my salvation.
��������� In faith I accept from you the gift of eternal life, and
��������� with your help, I promise to serve you as long as I live.
��������� I pray this in Jesus' name. AMEN!
��������� The Bible says, "To all who received him (Jesus), to those
��������� who believed in his name, he gave the right to become
��������� children of God."� John 1:12.
��������� This is a promise to live by!�� WELCOME TO THE FAMILY OF GOD!
��������� Now what you should do is study the Bible which is the word
��������� of God. And find a BIBLE BELIEVING CHURCH and attend!
��������� And believe me, you will grow in Christ and see what we are
��������� really doing here and also see what is to come! You feel such
��������� a joy in your heart as time goes on when you are in the word
��������� of God, and in a Church, that you just want more and more of
��������� what God has to offer! Again, YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!
��������� If you have any questions or comments to make, I will do my
��������� best to answer!
��������� Just leave me Email on P‑C OHIO, My name is Ronald Tyler.
��������� I pray what you have just read will get you to think about
��������� your life. I am not trying to scare anyone by what you have
��������� just read, but I am just trying to let everyone know where
��������� this world is heading, according to what the Bible says.
��������� Again I pray that you made the commitment to accept Christ in
��������� your life from the prayer above. The Lord will not disappoint
��������� you!� PLEASE DISTRIBUTE THIS REPORT ANYWHERE YOU CAN.
���������������������� MAY THE LORD BE WITH YOU ALWAYS!
