NUCLEAR DEVASTATION LOOMS IN THE NEAR FUTURE

This enormous, dazzling statue from the story of King Nebuchadnezzar—awesome in appearance—was struck on its feet of iron and clay by rock cut out, but not by human hands. It got smashed into fine dust, like chaff on a threshing floor in the summer as the wind swept it away without leaving a trace. That’s the nuclear devastation of one third of the earth’s population, per Revelations 9:18.

Who are they, but the tares who are going to be gathered and burned at the time of the harvest. It is the end that comes upon our enemies - the kings of iron and clay, of Daniel 2:44.

At that same time the God of heaven sets up His kingdom that will never end and it begins to fill the whole earth with a never ending expansion.

But the rock, not made by human hands, that struck the statue became a huge mountain, and filled the whole earth. That is the Coming Kingdom of Heaven on the Earth That Will Never Be Destroyed.

THE FIRST OF FOUR BEASTS HAS RISEN

Another end-time story is in Daniel's chapter 7 about four beasts. They rise up out of the sea at the time of the end. The first one is a lion with wings of an eagle.

The lion represents the United Kingdom as the official emblem; the eagle represents the United State of America. Its wings were torn off, and it stood on two feet, and the heart of a man was given to it. This same time period and events are also described in other scriptures: The people will get a new heart, Ezekiel 18:31.

In the same way that the ram in Daniel 8 gets its horn broken off, and the tree in Daniel 4 gets cut down but the stump remains—Jeremiah repeatedly says in Chapter 5, “Do not destroy them completely.”

Hope of recovery remains, and even an eagle’s feathers can grow back, so can new saplings grow from a stump that still has life. This first beast has risen, and it is the War on Terrorism, the attack of Yugoslavia, the attacking of Iraq, and George Bush and Tony Blair walking across the White House lawn—each in total agreement.

WE NEED AIR SUPERIORITY, BUT WE’RE GOING TO LOSE IT

I saw a documentary about our aircraft carriers. Narrators said it takes ten years from the beginning of constructing one till its completion. In this initial attack on America, if our enemies can successfully sink our aircraft carriers—our air superiority would be lost. Air superiority is essential in today’s military conflicts to achieve victory. That could be the eagle’s wings being torn off, because the second beast is called the bear—which is told to “go devour much flesh.”

The bear has three ribs in its mouth. The devouring of much flesh is The Day of the Lord. And Russia is called a bear. Russia is coming from out of the north. That nation also is the king of iron. And Jeremiah 15:12 says, “Can a man break iron from the north, or bronze?”

There are the bands of iron and bronze on the tree stump. But when Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry was campaigning against President Bush in 2004, and being critical of the military action in Iraq—he referred to a 30-nation coalition force as being coerced and bribed.

And Kerry said that there were only three nations who initiated what has become pronounced by the United Nations secretary general as an “illegal attack on Iraq.” Those three nations, I thought, might be who the three ribs are in the bear’s mouth. That’s the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia. The United Nations Security Council has declared the United States' attack as illegal and in violation of international law. So International Law has been broken by the Bush administration.

I suspect the enemies of the United States are demanding that we be brought to justice. Who else can the United Nations turn to, in order to enforce international law against the United States than the Russian bear. With Russia's weaken economy one might not think that they pose much of a threat, but they have tripled their military budget since Putin assumed leadership. Also their long standing nuclear arms policy that only authorized use in the event of an attack against Russia has been reversed to now allow them to initiate a pre-emptive strike if they perceive a threat exists. We clearly have provided them with the existing threat. Acting under the authority of the UN security council they would receive compensation for enforcing international law and at the same time turn the financial burden of their military into a profit. 

I don’t see Russian leader Putin as the kind of man who is told what to do, but he could become the United Nation's hired gun. For the Bible tells us that the bear is told to “go, devour much flesh.”

COMPARING THE PAST TO THE PRESENT

As in the case of Desert Storm in the early 1990s, the United Nations authorized the United States to attack Saddam and end his aggression on Kuwait. The United Nations was formed for the purpose of maintaining world peace, and nipping in the bud any country who becomes an aggressor—like Hitler did in the beginning of World War II.

However, today’s United Nations doesn’t possess the international law enforcement capability. So, when they see a direct violation of International Law, such as Saddam invading Kuwait—or President Bush openly and defiantly telling them that he is going to attack Iraq and remove Saddam from power, with or without their permission—they become enraged.

Their authority has been challenged. There are members of the United Nations Security Council who cannot particularly be counted as allies of America. The enemy voices are demanding that the United States must be brought to justice.

Russia has a tremendous amount of military resources and they have the largest conventional army in the world. And like a hired gun looking for a job, they could use the money. The United Nations compensated the United States for its Desert Storm military action.

BEWARE OF THE FOURTH BEAST

The third beast is a four-headed leopard, given authority to rule. This story parallels the tale of the ram and the goat, because the goat has its prominent horn is broken off, before four horns grow in its place. This leopard may very well be Muslim nations like Iran, Iraq, Libya, Syria—the Islamic nations of the world.

The fourth beast is more dreadful and terrifying than all the others. And it has large teeth of iron, and it’ll be different from all the other kingdoms, and it’ll devour the whole earth—trampling it down and crushing it.

It has ten horns, which are ten kings who come from this kingdom. And the saints will be handed over to them for a time, times and half a time—which some consider to be 3 ½ years.

I think this marks the last half of the seven years of tribulation. This scripture talks about none other than today’s China, which now possesses the world’s second largest navy, surpassed only by the United States for the time being.

PEOPLE ASK: WHY SHOULD I SELL MY COAT?

My message would echo in similar tones today, for almost any average American who sat down with me.

“Seek the Lord, and seek righteousness,” I would say. “Without these, no one can survive.”

Similar advice is repeated throughout the Bible. In Luke 22:36, the Lord tells us that in preparing for end-time, if you have a purse, take it; and if you don’t have a sword, sell your coat and buy one.

Remember, coats will not be necessary when the attacks occur, since our enemies will hit just at the beginning of summer. And as we’ve already discussed, you should remain prepared to flee into the mountains.

With more attacks anticipated by our government, it has a toll free, 24-hour number for citizens to get advice just dial: 1-800-BE-READY.

Keep in mind that specific situations and spur-of-the-moment survival strategies will vary, depending on your location and the wind direction. Even so, as in the time-tested Boy Scout motto, in all cases at least one constant remains, “Be Prepared.”

Anyone preparing for survival should consider this like basic fire insurance.

A LARGE & MIGHTY ARMY COMES

As I was  driving through California, on a trip to pick up a military surplus diesel generator, the words of Chapter 2 of the Book of Joel, echo in my mind. It says: “A large and mighty army comes, such as never was of old, nor ever will be in ages to come, before them the fire burns and behind them the flames blaze; before them the land lies like the garden of Eden, behind them a desolate waste.”—the Day of the Lord.

Observation of the immaculately manicured vineyards and orchards spreading out as far as I could see convinced me that this place fits the description like the garden of Eden, when right as those thoughts were on my mind, I drove right past a green road sign with capitol white letters on it that read "EDEN VALLEY".

When I tell you the Lord has shown me many signs, this is literally one of them. Again God confirms to me that the scriptures do apply to this great land and it is us who will be invaded.

Joel does go on to say that the Lord will drive that northern army back out across a parched and barren land. That is the land they burned as they invaded, so you can see that they will be turned around the same as it says in Ezekiel 38 & 39. They come from out of the far north, a great horde, fully armed, with Persia among them, but the the bow will be struck from their left hand and the arrows will drop from their right hand and they will fall. The Lord will deliver us from all those enemies at that time.

God wants you to know of these warnings, and to survive. And he wants you to read every word of this document. Just like I do, God loves you and he wants the best for you.

Even among those who hear of my warnings, the notion of a nuclear attack is overwhelming. There’s a similar mentality across America; most people refuse to think about it. There is a verse that says "what they fear the most will come upon them", what is feared more than a nuclear holocaust.

I recall the 1970s when county governments had trucks embossed with civil defense emblems. Partly through support from the federal government, officials mandated or encouraged bomb shelters and civil defense programs.

Some buildings offered protection against bombs, and various former mine facilities were designated as civil defense shelters.

Yet in the wake of such programs being stopped or curtailed, many people today decline to even discuss the danger. They’re making a big mistake. The beast is now forming. In Revelations 13, a question is asked, “Who can make war against the beast?”

The beast is obviously a war-maker. Who is it going to make war with? Who else, but the United States, called the sole remaining superpower.

WHO IS THE BEAST IN REVELATIONS 17?

Seven nations will form a military alliance referred to as the Beast in the Bible, opposing the United States for domination of the world.

Revelations says the beast has seven heads, five of which have fallen—while “one is, and the other is yet to come.”

While visiting China in late 1999, Yeltsin told the Chinese leader that, “It seems President Clinton has forgotten that Russia still is a world power who possesses a nuclear arsenal.” With emphasis on "is",

Russia remained undefeated after World War II.   I’ve concluded that indeed, the head that “is” represents Russia—while the head that “is to come” represents China with its military build up and emerging, mushrooming, snowballing economy and industrial power.

The five heads that have fallen include Germany and France, which both fell in World War II and have opposed the United States’ attack on Iraq.

Further evidence, making this threat a reality, Russia and Germany have recently strengthened their alliances with China. These nations share many common views on major international issues, while forming an alliance that polarizes against the United States.

In fact, when forming and solidifying this alliance in 2004, Germany and China proclaimed they share a desire to make important contributions in establishing worldwide peace and stability. Germany’s chancellor Schroeder openly stated this when arriving at the Beijing airport.

But who do Germany and China think is disturbing the peace or causing instability? From their point of view, it’s the United States. These countries are forming a strategic partnership, their common bond is their growing hatred for America.

MISGUIDED MOTIVATIONS FOR FORMING ALLIANCES

Revelations 13 also warns that the beast has the feet of a bear, and gets its power from the dragon. The bear represents Russia.

That nation has the world’s largest conventional forces and three times as many tanks as the United States. Today, military leaders depend on tanks for ground movement, like walking with feet. The Russian tanks are the feet of the bear. At 50 tons each their tanks represent a great deal of  iron. They are Daniel 2's  "King of Iron", and Jeremiah's  "who can break iron from the north".

On the news one day, U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld stated that the Bush administration was making the missile defense system a top priority. But he didn’t consider Russia’s nuclear arsenal as much of a threat as it once had been because of their weakened economy.

I began to perceive that the threat of an attack—or making war—requires considerable financial resources.

Nations are forming and strengthening their alliances, because together they can pool their resources—equipment, manpower, finances—to become an imposing, unified military power, capable of challenging the United States for world domination.

I saw a Chinese New Year’s parade on the news, in which a huge dragon made its way down the main street of Tiananmen Square. We’re told the beast gets its power from the dragon, and it has the money—giving it the power to make war.

WHO WILL BECOME FAR RICHER THAN THE OTHERS

Daniel Chapter 11 warns that “three more kings will appear in Persia, and then a fourth who will be far richer than the others.”

“When he has gained power by his wealth, he’ll stir up everyone against the kingdom of Greece, and then a mighty king will appear who will rule with great power and do as he pleases.”

Who can this be?

Today, the ancient Bible lands of Persia span the Middle East region. China is becoming far richer than the others. In 2005 China's world trade surplus exceeded 1.4 trillion dollars.

Like it was before WW11, now in today’s world, the two polarizing forces can be referred to as the free world and the slave world. But in Daniel 11, it’s the kingdom of Persia and the kingdom of Greece.

Senators lead the United States government, the same the senators of ancient Athens, Greece. All references to Greece equate to modern Washington, D.C., where government buildings are in the ancient Greek architectural style—embossed with words such as “Aristotle.”

Amazingly, if you took Daniel or Ezekiel of Biblical fame on a helicopter tour of our nation’s capitol today, they could easily assume our nation’s capitol to be the modern capitol Greek city of Athens, as it has evoloved thousands of years in the future.

Our enemies seemed to be stirred up, don’t they?

President George W. Bush seems like the mighty king who rules with great power and does as he pleases. Retired U.S. Secretary of State Lawrence Eagleburger, a seasoned expert in international affairs, stated during a TV interview that the day is coming when it will become impossible for the United States to maintain military superiority over China.

“BIRTH  PAINS” SIGNAL THE END of this AGE

These birth pains are the necessary process that results in the birthing of the "NEW AGE". There is coming incredible economic expansion exceeding what followed WW11. We will emerge as the champions of this final conflict and there will be peace on earth for a thousand years to come.

 First Thessalonians 5:2 says that while people speak of peace and safety, destruction will come upon them suddenly as if labor pains suffered by a woman.

In fact, everywhere labor pains are mentioned throughout the Bible, such references refer to this transition-time. When Jesus sits on Mount Olive in Matthew Chapter 24, the disciples ask him when the end of age will come.

Birthpain although an unpleasent process, it is the way that new life is produced. And the new age is being slowly birthed as war intensifies until all evil enemies of freedom are completely destroyed. WE WILL EMERGE VICTORIOUS.

The Lord specifies when we will see wars, rumors of wars, nation rising against nation, kingdoms rising against kingdoms, famines, and earthquakes.

These are the beginning of birthing pains, the same events the Bible promises will precede the end-time. Recent key events in this process included the Bush-Gore election, and the attacks of 9-11 in New York City, the war on terror, our attack on Iraq, and the horrific tsunami in Southeast Asia, and Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans and Rita, the whole Gulf Coast—called the worst disaster in the history of the United States, followed by the worst tornado season, wild fires 50 times the average, and floods.

Remember that amid a female’s labor process the most severe pains come as contractions, increasingly severe in intensity while steadily coming closer together in time.

Thus, for brief periods, life throughout American society will appear to return to normal when in fact the end-time contraction continues to escalate.

THE FIRST SEAL BREAKING, IS THE NUCLEAR ATTACK

In the course of birth pains, contractions eventually lead to the breaking of a seal—allowing the release of embryonic fluid, called “the breaking of the water.” This begins the travel of the baby through the birth canal.

The scroll in Revelations Chapter 5 with words of lament, mourning and woe, is sealed with seven seals.

When the first seal broke, “out came thunder, and I looked, and I saw there before me was a white horse, and its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest.”

The white horse represents our enemies coming to conquer us. It’s white color relates to the incredibly brilliant, blinding white light of a nuclear blast. The attackers intend to conquer us, challenging the United States for world domination. While lamenting a claim that violated international law when we attacked Iraq based on faulty intelligence, they’re saying our days are over. We must be brought to justice.

America's enemies are forming a military alliance into what the Bible refers to as “the beast.” Revelations 13 asks this: Who can make war against the beast?

What is the beast? It is very simple. The beast is a war maker. Who else could they be making war with but the sole remaining super power  - the United States of America.
