�� 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!
