The Russian and Arab Invasion of Israel.
The world will soon see a temporary peace because of an Old
Testament prophecy that is about to take place, and which the prophet Ezekiel
said would occur in the latter years before the Lord comes back.
Ezekiel said that this invasion will require God’s intervention, and
that the invaders will be destroyed by a torrential Rainstorm with Hailstones
and Thunderbolts.
We know they are Russians because they come from the “remote parts of the
north”: Ezek. 38:15. And we
know that the Arabs are involved because a number of the countries are
named. According to Ryrie they
are as follows: Persia (Iran), Ethiopia, Put (Libya),
Gomer
(probably Turkey and the Ukraine) and Beth-togarmah (probably Syria).
Ezekiel also said that this event will take place “in the latter
years” (38:8) and “in the last days” (38:16).
This event is near because Iran has set itself on a course of confrontation
with Israel and the West by continuing its nuclear program and my making their
intentions clear. Russia has also signed a treaty aligning itself with Iran and
Syria. Syria has also demanded to
be included in any future peace efforts. In this regard, a Middle East peace specialist recently
stated she was: “… very much concerned with the mounting influence
of Russia – not only in Syria, but in the whole Middle East as well”, and
“ particularly…about Russia’s ties with Iran and its actions to
dissuade the construction of missile defense systems in Central and Eastern
Europe.” 1
The fact that Long range Russian Bombers have been flying over U.S. Aircraft
Carriers and British, Arctic, and Finnish airspace also suggests a
confrontation is ahead: as such things have not occurred since the cold war.
We have also heard that Israel recently bombed Syrian warehouses
believed to be storing weapons of mass destruction that the Syrians
obtained from Iraq before the war began.
A 3rd Jewish
Temple will be built. God intervenes
to save Israel from being destroyed, the way for peace will be wide open, and this will
pave the way for Israel to rebuild its 3rd Temple.
This temple will be rebuilt before the Lord comes back.
We say this because the man who is known as the antichrist will enter
the Temple when he declares himself to be God, and for this to occur, a new
Temple must be built. 2,3
With regard to a 3rd temple it is said that its stones have been
cut and are waiting to be assembled. We
have also heard from a source in Israel that the Arc of the covenant has been
found and brought back to Israel from Ethiopia: and that the stone tablets
with the Ten Commandments on them are with it. 4
The Oil Supply is drying
up. The world’s oil
production is about 86 million barrels of oil per day.
The world demand for oil is also about 86 million barrels per day and
growing by 2-3 percent a year, while the supply of many nations has peaked and
is decreasing. Some experts say
that half of the oil has been used up, and that the rest will be gone by
2029. The bottom line is that it seems likely that there will soon be a
war over oil.
A lack of fresh water: The ground water in many parts of the world is
slowly being depleted.5 See also Revelation 6:5-6, and Deut. 28:15-24.
The Microchip Implant:
The rice-grained size RFID microchip has been in use for dogs
and cats for over a decade.
Such a “mark” is mentioned in the Book of Revelation, whereby only those
who have it can buy or sell. This
is because Cash will be eliminated, and all financial transactions
done electronically. Those who
fear God and know the Lord will refuse to accept such a mark:
whether outwardly visible or not: Rev. 13, 14 and 20.
Fire from Heaven. The Book
of Revelation also talks about a world leader who will deceive many because of
some amazing things that he performs. One
of these is referred to as “fire from heaven” in Revelation 13:13.
This is perhaps a laser beam that comes from a satellite or the
International Space Station.
A Talking Statue. Another
sign that the coming world leader will perform involves a statue that can
“speak”: Revelation 13:14-18. This
will likely be a talking Robot or possibly an “image” of himself on TV.
We are also told that everyone who chooses to participate in the coming worldwide
government will have to worship either this robot “image” or the
“image” of the antichrist, and receive a “mark” that will identify
them as loyal subjects of the (temporary) new world order.

The Seven-Year “Land
for Peace” Treaty. In
January of 2007, a 7-year Land for Peace deal was struck between the Israelis and Palestinians. See
also Dan. 9:27 and 11:21-45.
Echelon: An
electronic system known as echelon allows the European Union to tap Cell Phones
or home phones in
the United States, and vice versa: at the touch of a few buttons.
The Mayan Calendar ends at 2012. The
Mayan Calendar ends on Dec. 21, 2012. This
date may be used by the forces of evil to usher in a New World Order:
followed, and/or preceded by Death and Destruction.
Increasing Fatherlessness:
Not many know it yet, but in the U.S.A, 80-90% of mothers obtain Sole Legal
Custody after a Divorce: often AFTER as much of their MONEY is
confiscated. In Canada it is reported to be 98%, and Europe is almost as
bad. See our Family
Court page for more information.
When will the Rapture
take place: Many believe that
the rapture takes place before the Seven-Year Great Tribulation.
In support of this we are told that many who know the Lord will be
“rescued” from the coming wrath of God upon the earth (Dan. 12:1-4; Mal.
3:16-18; Col. 3:6; 1 Thes. 4:13-18; 5:9; 2 Thes. 2:3-12, Rev. 3:10) and that
the antichrist will not be revealed until the restrainer is taken out of the
way: 2 Thes. 2:6-9. This may
occur when the “fullness of the Gentiles has come in” (Rom. 11:25) and God
turns His focus to the land (and nation) of Israel?
Some believe that the rapture will happen before the Tribulation begins,
others in the middle, and some on the last day, or the day that the sun goes
dark: Matt. 24:29-31. If it
occurs at the end, then many saints will be killed simply because they believe
in Jesus, and that He is God's Son, and the heir of God's Kingdom:
Rev. 13:7-10. See also Dan.
7:7-27, Joel 2:28-32, Amos 8:9, Rev. 6:9-17. George Washington’s Angelic
Vision at Valley Forge also deals with the United States and the end times.

Like a Thief in the Night: Although
no one knows the exact hour of Christ’s return, Jesus told us to pay
attention so that we are not caught off guard: Matt. 24:3-25:30; I John
2:28-3:3. If you know the Lord
and have His Spirit living in you, then you should be serving Him in some way:
even if all you can do is carry a Bible to church: Mal. 3:16-18.
We
who know the Lord will overcome the death-curse that our mortal body is under
because of our faith in Jesus and our testimony: NOT because of sinless
perfection: 2 Cor. 5:1; I Peter 1:3-9; I John 1:6-10; 3:14; 4:4; 5:4-13; Rev.
12:11; Rom. 7:15-25; 8:9-11.

We learned this from
someone went to Israel, and showed us pictures of a replica
that the Israelis made of the
arc.
The tour guide told their group that the arc was being
kept at a secret location until the Temple is rebuilt.
