ORIGIN OF THE KINGS OF THE NORTH AND SOUTH

Many scoff at Biblical prophecy, but consider the fact that certain events in the book of Daniel concerning the Middle East are supported by documented history. Further, The Bible recorded this history some 400 years before it occurred. The fact that Daniel chapters 10-11 record nearly 400 years of Middle Eastern conflict is not a big deal. After all, there are thousands of histories, many that give much more detailed account of the history than Daniel. But what makes Daniel's different is that it was revealed by God and written by Daniel before the events happened. Daniel wrote about 400 years of history before it was recorded history! That makes it fulfilled prophecy, which is later confirmed by secular history. But part of this recorded history is yet to be fulfilled, and God, through Daniel, said it will happen at the "time of the end," or the end-time.

Let's look at both parts of Daniel's prophetic vision, that which is fulfilled, and that which will be fulfilled. Because Daniel accurately recorded these events that have since happened, there should be no question that what is said will happen in the near future. Daniel 10:10-12:4 is the longest single vision recorded in the Bible. God revealed it to Daniel in the third year of the reign of Cyrus king of the Medo-Persian Empire, B.C. 555. Again in another prophecy, the name of Cyrus was revealed well over 150 years before his rise to power, and he would overthrow Babylon and release the Jews, who were exiled there, to return to Judea and Jerusalem, B.C 538-537.

Daniel 10:1 says the revelation given to him is true and it concerned a great war in the Middle East. Daniel also explains what will happen in the future, for the vision concerns a time in the "latter days" or a time yet to come. "Latter Days" or a time to come means the end-time just prior to the return of the Christ (Messiah) named Jesus. Even though much of this prophecy is fulfilled centuries ago, the main fulfillment of this passage is during the latter days, the time we are living in now.

Persian and Greek Empires in Brief ...

God said there would be four more kings to reign after Cyrus. These were Cambyses, Gomates, Darius, and Xerxes. Although there were several latter Persian (Iran) kings, God only drew attention to these four. Darius' son, Xerxes set out to conquer Greece. The Greeks cut the Persian naval fleet to pieces, and it was the beginning of the end to the Persian Empire. Historical confirmation of these prophesied events are well documented (Myer's classic volume Ancient History). I am not about to get into historical details that anyone can look up. The point is that the power and supremacy of the Persian monarchy passed away with the reign of Xerxes. There are just too many historical details revealed in advance for this just to be mere coincidence. "And a mighty king will stand up, and do according to his will." Xerses began to tangle with Greece, and that a mighty Grecian king stood to "rule with great dominion." His name was Alexander the Great, and he arrived in B.C. 334 to crush what remained of the Persians. God revealed in Daniel 2:31-45 about four world-ruling empires that will succeed each other until Jesus returns to this earth to set up his Kingdom. Alexander's Grecian Empire was the third of these biblical prophesied empires. First there was the Babylonian (Chaldean) of Daniel's time, Medo-Persian, Greco-Macedonian, and finally the Roman Empire.

Daniel chapter 11 reveals 200 years before the fact that "... his kingdom will be broken, and will be divided toward the four winds of heaven ..." Alexander's reign was cut short in B.C. 323 by his untimely death at age 32. There was no one strong enough to rule the vast expanse of his territory so his kingdom was divided into four parts, each ruled by one of Alexander's generals Cassander, Lysimachus, Seleucus Nicator, and Ptolemy, who each had assumed the title king. Cassander ruled over Greece and Macedonia and Lysimachus ruled Asia Minor. The other two, however, set the stage for two centuries of conflict and struggle in the ancient Middle East. It is these two kingdoms, Seleucus north (Syria) of Jerusalem, and Ptolemy south (Egypt) of Jerusalem that is the prophesied birth of conflict to set the end-time stage for the kings of the North and South.

Ancient Wars Between the Kings of the North and South ...

Now I will provide more details, boring as they may be, but extremely important to understand the prophetic biblical verses that show how the prophetic events were proved by the recorded secular names and personalities, hundreds of years later, to the the events that actually occurred in ancient history. These prophetic events reveal the historic evolution of the king of the North and the king of the South as mankind's system of things down to end-times.

Seleucus, king of the North ruled Syria, the same general region of ancient Assyria and Babylon. The Syrian kingdom during the two centuries before being absorbed by the Roman Empire played an important role in the civil history of the world. Ptolemy, king of the South ruled Egypt, Judea, and part of Syria. This kingdom was perhaps the most important of the four divisions because of its influence upon civilization.

Daniel 11:5 reveals that "and the king of the South will be strong, and one of his princes (or generals), will be strong above him, and have dominion: and his dominion will be a great dominion." This verse specifically explains how the two strongest kingdoms of the four divisions developed. Temporarily, Ptolemy of Egypt (South) was the most powerful. Seleucus was originally one of Ptolemy's generals in the north (Syria). But while Ptolemy was occupied in a war, Seleucus gained control in the north, founding the powerful dynasty of Seleucide in B.C. 312.

And notice the amazing prophetic details in Daniel 11:6 "And in the end of the years they will join themselves together (or associate themselves), for the king's daughter of the south will come to the king of the North and make an agreement ..." Fifty years later this prophecy was fulfilled by marriage ending a two year war between Antiochus Theos, son of Seleucus, ruler the northern kingdom of Syria and Ptolemy Philadelphus, son of Ptolemy, king of the South, in B.C. 262. The two married and the two kingdoms temporarily joined themselves together. However, in the prophecy of Daniel 11:6 "But she will not retain the power of the arm; neither will he stand ... " In other words, although strengthened by the union, neither the king of the North nor his new southern wife could retain that power. To make a long story short, when the king of the South died in B.C. 247 the king of the North sent his new southern wife back to her family and went back to his former wife. But his former wife was angered from being dumped and she stayed with him to conceive and then promptly murdered her husband, thus securing the throne for her son, Seleucus II. She then assassinated the second wife as well, squelching the last hope of the Ptolemies to have a descendant on the Seleucide throne in the north.

The prophecy continues in Daniel 11:7 where out of Seleucus Theo's' second wife's family or "out of her roots" one will rise and take her place. This branch from her own family was her brother, Ptolemy III, who led an army and entered the fortress of the north. He invaded Syria in B.C. 242 and quickly avenged his sister's death by murdering Seleucus Theo's' wife. Daniel 11:8 reveals that Ptolemy would carry many captives and spoils back to Egypt, which he did because history confirms it. God also prophesied that Ptolemy's reign would continue longer than his counterpart in the north, Seleucus II. God was right again, Ptolemy outlived him by four years.

Daniel 11:11-12 prophesied that Seleucus III and Antichous III, sons of the king of the North will wage campaigns of war against the Egyptian king of the South. The king of the South would march out in a rage and fight against the Syrian king of the North. In this prophesied seesaw battle "many will rise against the king of the South. The violent men among your own people (Jews) will rebel in fulfillment of the vision, but without success." Jewish historian Josephus recorded many Jews helped in the fight against the Egyptian king of the South. Now consider how accurately God foretold of this anti-Egyptian alliance hundreds of years in advance. The next time someone tries to cast aside the Bible as flawed because men write it, have them try to explain away this prophecy given to Daniel. The next several verses give more details concerning the king of the North's conquests. Daniel 11:16 reveals that he will stand in "The Glorious or Beautiful Land." This is a type of dual prophecy applied to the time of ancient Judea and to the end-time of Israel. The Syrian king of the north defeated the Egyptian king of the South in B.C. 198 and assumed control of Judea and Jerusalem. This partial fulfilled prophecy is important because it sets the stage for the revealed latter-day, or end-time prophecy, which will again revolve around Israel and Jerusalem.

Daniel 11:17-19 reveals an attempt by King Anatiochus of the north to gain complete control over his dominion, to include Egypt by making an alliance with the king of the South with an offer of his daughter in marriage. The scheme backfired because his daughter knew she was being used as bait. She betrays her father and gives her full support to her new husband, the king of the South, Egypt. Antiochus, king of the North focused his energies elsewhere to the coast lands of the west of Asia Minor where a certain Roman general stops him. By this time, the Romans were beginning their ascension to world rule. The young Roman general mentioned in the Bible is Luxius Scipio Asiaticus. He crushed the forces of the king of the North in the Battle of Magnesia in B.C. 190. The king of the North returns to Syria where he died in B.C. 187. Daniel 11:20 reveals that Antiochus, king of the North was succeeded by his son Seleucus Philopator, B.C. 87-176. As the Bible notes he was famous for collecting taxes, and later poisoned. Since Seleucus left no heir, the other son of Antochous III who was called Antiochous Epiphanes was responsible for setting up the later abomination of desolation in the Jerusalem Temple. This significant because of a prophecy concerning the end-time abomination of desolation between the Vatican and EU Chritendon whose shiny cup is filled with flattering lies and deceit.

Daniel 11:21-45 (also note 8:23-25) reveals Antiochous, king of the North to be an exceptionally cruel king, it is not so much the name as it was his ruthless method of dictatorship through deceitful lies and flatterys. This king of the North was the Jews worst enemy in history, until Hitler. He tried to make Jerusalem into a Greek city rather than Jewish by destroying its religion. He sold the Jewish high priest's position to an opportunist and transformed the Jewish Temple into an alter for the Greek god Zeus. This desecration and the slaughter of thousands sparked one of histories earliest guerrilla wars, the Maccabees revolt that began in B.C 168. He outlawed Judaism and proclaimed himself to be God incarnate. Much of the struggle between the Jews and the Syrian king of the North is recorded in the book of Maccabees of the Hebrew Bible.

And yet, like all tyrants their types will culminate in the end-time into a final system of things revealed as the man of lawlessness. Keep your eye on the merging German-led EU with its European alliances into one revived Euro-Roman system whose goal will be to dominate the world. Yet despite this eventual world dictatorial end-time system of things with its lies and flatterys too will fall in the end by the direct hand of Almighty God.

Daniel 11:25-35 reveals continuous clashes between the king of the North and the king of the South with kings deceiving each other via peace talks, but not peace (sounds a lot like the peace talks of today). Again, the king of the North encounters another Maccabees insurrection. "His heart was set against the holy covenant," meaning God's people the Jews. Then Daniel records, "He will do exploits," or "He will take action against it," meaning the king of the North just did as he pleased against the Jews, and massacred them. Then God prophesied of a third campaign into Egypt by the king Antiochous of Syria, but it "does not go well because the ships of Chittim or western coast lands opposed him." A Roman fleet from Cyprus defeated the king of the North who returns to Judea to take his frustrations out on the Jews. Then it says he had spies within the Jewish disloyal contingent of God's people (I guess there are lot of Judas types in this world and so it will be in the end-time). God goes on to reveal that most of the ancient Jews were deceived about the truth and paid the price, the same can be said today about most Christians.

Daniel's vision now focuses on what is called dual prophecy, that prophecy that uses a past event to reveal a future event. In this case, Daniel records the duality by comparing man and his system of things like Syria as the king of the North, which is followed by the Roman empire and its brand of emperors. When Syria, the king of the North went against Egypt, the king of the South for the third time, Roman ships defeated his forces. In B.C. 65 king of the North is swallowed up by the Roman Empire. Now here is a key point, because the Roman emperor now controlled Judea, references to the king of the North from this point on in Daniel 11:36 refers to the Roman Empire, not Syria. Tyrants rise up one after another, but they disappear just as quickly. God gives apt description of Roman emperors, who have, historically done accordingly to their own will, even exalting themselves above Almighty God. "And the king will do as he pleases. He will exalt and magnify himself above every god (thing) and will say unheard-of (blasphemy) against the God of gods." He will exalt himself above them all and claim himself to be God. "Instead of them (gods), he will honor a god of fortress (war) ... He will attack the mightiest fortresses with the help of a foreign god and will greatly honor those who acknowledge him."

Daniel 7:2-8 records the prophesied four world-ruling empires that would succeed each other right up to the return of Jesus at the end of this recorded age. The Roman Empire is the fourth and will be the final resurrected Eu empire to dominated world events one last time. It is not that the empire fell in A.D. 476, but only that the city of Rome was sacked, and Rome fell off the world stage. Passages in Daniel and Revelation prophesied of seven attempted resurrections of what became known as the "Holy" Roman Empire. In 554 the Roman Emperor Justinian began the restoration of Rome. Since that time, there have been six attempts to restore the Roman Empire, and there is to be one more before the end-time. Watch the EU and the Vatican, oh how they hold hands!

Daniel 11:40-45 reveals the end-time: "At the time of the end the king of the South (Arab-Islamic Coalition) will engage him (EU) in battle, and the king of the North will storm out against him ... he will invade many countries and sweep through them like a flood ... he will also invade the Beautiful Land (Israel)." But reports from the east (China) and the far north (Russia) will alarm him, and he will set out in great rage to destroy and annihilate many. Other Biblical passages discuss the king of the East, which challenges the king of the North for supremacy. The king of the North will establish its HQ in Jerusalem. But the Chinese hordes gathering 55 miles north of Jerusalem will descend upon him in the place called Armageddon. "He will pitch his tents (armies surrounding Jerusalem) between the seas (plains of Har-Magedon) at the beautiful holy mountain (HQ at Jerusalem). Yet he will come to his end, and no one will help him." God will destroy him in the final battle of Armageddon!

God says that when the end-time arrives, the king of the South will wage war with the king of the North. War will be waged because of radical religion. Anciently, the king of the South was south of Jerusalem in Egypt, but in this end-time it will comprise a conglomeration of nations much larger and more powerful than ancient Egypt. The nations in and around the Holy Land are for the most part Islamic and a force to be reckoned with. Most notable among the rising tide of radical Islam is Iran (former Persia), which since the end of the Iran-Iraq War in 1988, has accumulated massive miilitary capability. They are considered the world's number one sponser of terrorism. And with the acquisition of nuclear weapons and support of many other Islamic nations will be able to deliver a formidable "push" against the king of the North. But as Daniel 11:40 reveals, the south will be no match for the whirlwind response of the European force it will encounter, whose power will not be unveiled until the moment of its blitzkrieg in its finest hour.

Daniel chapter 12 reveals the times that it will be take to complete the final act at time of the end-time "From the time that the daily sacrifice (the truth of God's word suppressed) is abolished and the abomination that causes desolation (EU established in Jerusalem) is set up, there will be 1,290 days. Blessed is he who waits for and reaches, the end of the 1,335 days." This is also dual prophecy that relates to the time of Jesus ministry, death, and pentecost as well as the end-time of 3 1/2 years of the time of trouble (great tribulation) ending in the transfiguration of the saints to eternal life, those that have died, and those living transfigured "in the twinkle of an eye" as the two true witnesses to God's word.

God tells Daniel clearly "None of the wicked will understand, but those who are wise will understand." The question is not whether or not these end-time events will occur? The question is, what are you doing to understand and prepare for it?

LOST TEN TRIBES OF ISRAEL

Where are the lost 10 tribes of Israel? Many prophetic biblical references to "Israel" do not refer to the Jewish state of today's Israel. The term "12 tribes of Israel" descended from the 12 sons of Jacob (whose name God changed to Israel), but what happened to them when Assyria defeated Israel? It is not a mystery to those who understand God's prophecy because God reveals that the descendant majority of these tribes eventually migrated to Europe and North America to become many of the prosperous Judean-Christian descendant European and North American known as the Western civilization of Christendom.

Each tribe was given it's own district, except for the priestly tribe of Levi which mingled among all the tribes and was responsible for Temple duties. The tribe of Joseph had separated into two tribes as Ephraim and Manasseh. So, technically there were 13 tribes, but 12 districts (sound familiar like the 13 original colonies). The tribes mostly kept to themselves, yet were united as one nation of Israel, much like the 50 states of America.

Israel reached its height as an empire during the reigns of King David and his son Solomon. God made an unbreakable promise with David that his kingly dynasty would continue right up to the return of Christ. God said that David's royal line (held by the tribe of Judah) would never end, but because of Solomon's eventual disobedience, God warned, and then divided the nation of Israel (kinda ironic like the temporary division of north and south during the American Civil War). God, however, promised to preserve the tribe of Judah for David's sake (this is the tribe of Jesus' lineage). Eventually, ten of the Israelite tribes rebelled and seceded from the nation leaving the tribe of Judah, Benjamin, and the Levites. This prophecy was fulfilled when Israel separated into two nations where the ten seceding tribes moved their capital north to Samaria and retained the name Israel, and the small southern nation retained Jerusalem as its capital, and became known as Judah (Jew is short for Judah). God used Assyria (former region south of the Black Sea, today their descendants are Germany) to root out Israel from the land and scatter them abroad over the face of the earth. Then, Judah too rebelled and God removed the Jews and placed them in Babylonian captivity (former region in southern Iraq), just as he did Israel 130 years earlier. The majority of the 10 tribes of Israel never returned to their land, but 70 years after the fall of Jerusalem, fragments did with the majority tribe being Judah (as prophesied), some from the tribe of Benjamin, and a few Levitical priests to rebuild Jerusalem and the Temple. The descendants of those who returned to Jerusalem to rebuild were now in the land of Palestine (renamed by the Romans), and 500 years later, during the days of Christ were called Jews. Those of Israel today are mostly descendant from the tribe of Judah and carry the ethnic heritage as Jew, religion as Jewish, and nationality as Israelite.

The actual majority descendants of the northern nation of Israel never returned to Israel. When they were removed from their land they lost their national identity, but the did not disappear, they were absorbed into the populations of foreign lands, and eventually many into Europe. Jesus commissioned his disciples to teach the Kingdom of God not to the Gentiles, or Samaritans, but told them to go "to the lost sheep of the House of Israel" because they had lost their identity, but the did not disappear! Jesus was not referring to the Jews residing in Palestine because they were not lost. He wanted his disciples to take the gospel of his Kingdom message to the Israelites who were removed from northern Israel and absorbed into the nations hundreds of years before, those who never returned to the Promised Land.

Considering Jesus' commission, he sent Peter specifically to address the Jews, and he commissioned Paul and the other Apostles to go to the Gentiles and seek the lost sheep of Israel.

Millennial ago, God spoke to Abraham and told him that his offspring would posses the future gates of his enemies. Prior to WWII, the American and British peoples had acquired more than two-thirds of the cultivated resources and wealth of the world. Astonishing, it was acquired rather suddenly, since the year 1800. Never in all history did anything like this occur. Never did any people or nation spread out and grow so suddenly and rapidly into such magnitude of national power. This is the result of the deliberate and timely fulfillment of God's promises to Abraham's descendants Britain and America who are the prophesied offspring of Joseph, Isaac's grandson. Joseph sired two sons, Ephraim from who sprung the British peoples, and Manasseh from whose descendants sprang the American nation. Both these nations controlled the the choicest parts of the world's surface from the early 1800s to recent history, including the world's major sea gates!

After God delivered his people from Egypt, Moses reminded ancient Israel of the blessing which God promised to the descendants of Jacob (renamed Israel) because of the obedience of Abraham. God declared ancient Israel would lead other nations if she obeyed God, she would be the head and not the tail. However, biblical and secular history proves that ancient Israel did not obey God for very long and curses resulted because of national disobedience. The descendants of Israel waited 2520 years in accordance with God's prophetic timing of punishment, to receive those great blessing promised to Abraham and passed on to the descendants of Israel. Because of Israel's disobedience, God let them go into captivity and scattered them among the Gentile nations, and punished them 7 times more.

A prophetic year is 360 days, and 7 x 360 years is 2520 years. In accordance with God's impeccable timing, Israel went into captivity at the hands of the Assyrians B.C. 721-718, and it was not until 2520 years later that the descendants of Israel sprung suddenly into history. When the 2520-year withholding of the birthright expired, God was faithful to his unconditional promise to Abraham, not because of any British or American goodness, superiority, or worthiness. So, beginning in 1800 those two birthright descendant peoples of the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh suddenly burst forth as the greatest world powers in all history! The most amazing fact is the sudden skyrocketing from virtual obscurity of two nations to the most fabulous wealth and economic power ever possessed by any people. Britain became Great Britain, a gigantic stupendously wealthy "Commonwealth of nations," and the United States became the single greatest nation in history. Most amazing still are all the unbelievable shocking facts of the present, of how and why we are losing it faster that it came!

Great Britain and her vast commonwealth of nations, together with the United States, have enjoyed stupendous wealth and national blessings over the past two centuries. However, rapidly rising curses due to disobedience now plague these descendant Israelite nations of Ephraim and Manasseh as they sink rapidly into the vortex of godless immorality, greed, and corruption born of the same rebellious mind that their forefathers exhibited millennial ago.

Computer dependence is America's Achilles heel, and within a few years this weakness will be tested to the full. America is the greatest superpower this world has ever known, but we have our Achilles heel, a very vulnerable point in our military and civil communications. There is a Bible prophecy that gives a bloodcurdling alarm to America's Achilles heel! Exploiting this vulnerable point may trigger the greatest shock in the history of warfare! As to the implications to defense, the Gulf was shows what a critical role technology now plays in warfare. But the course of a battle would be very different if effective technology by sabotaging could be instituted against the superior force. No comport system is totally secure, or anywhere near it! One growing concern to American security authorities is the expanding, semi-underground network of young computer hackers in Germany. God promises to punish the end-time descendants of ancient Israel, mainly the U.S. and Britain. The trumpet will be blown to sound the warning of war, but the greatest tragedy occurred, nobody went to battle. The overall reason this crisis will occur is because God's wrath is upon his people that refuse to repent! Will one of God's curses come upon us in the form of computer terrorism? Could it be caused by an Electra-Magnetic Pulse (EMP) radiation weapon exploded high above our heads?

Winston Churchill said Germany had a history of surprise attacks against enemies and nations who thought they were friends with Germany, he understood history and Bible prophecy. God says our lovers are going to betray us, and one of our greatest lovers is the same as the ancient Israelites, the descendant peoples of the ancient Assyrian nation, or modern-day Germany. The Germans currently have total access to many American air bases. There are more German pilots being trained in the U.S. than from any other nation, mainly because of NATO policies. Germany is learning a great deal about our modern-day computer technology and military operations. When the U.S. has such a lover, it means we are going to place more trust in them that in God. Already there are warning signs that our alliance with Germany is shaky. We seem to have forgotten the history of Germany. We think our nation to be so righteous, but God call us hypocrites! Assuming the Germans are trustworthy military allies is going to be a fatal decision! The Germans are going to inflict a monstrous betrayal on us in this end-time. The Germans will be the main tool God uses to punish Britain, America, and Israel soon, unless they repent. Germany has an unparalleled history of destroying many nations in warfare. Recently, they tried to conquer and rule the world in two world wars. They are the rod of God's anger. He is using them to correct his chosen people, who have rebelled and refuse to lead the world to God.

One of the many miracles given to the British and Americans to defeat the Germans in WWII was the British broke the German radio codes. We knew about most of the German war plans in advance! Quite a gigantic advantage and it was a miracle from God. Amazingly, God also gave the U.S. the Japanese radio codes that allowed them defeat of the Japanese empire in the east! But we arrogantly refuse to give God credit for the many miracles that saved us in WWII. It is certainly conceivable God could give Germany the expertise to understand and jam our military computer technology. We must not forget that God will no longer support his unrepentant nations in a war. If the people of America and Britain understood Bible prophecy, they would be quaking in fear at the political direction they are heading. Is God now against us? That is the most terrifying question of all!

In the rapidly approaching end-time the king of the South (Islamic United Arab Republic) will push at the king of the North (EU), the king of the North will come against the king of the South like a whirlwind and defeat this Islamic Arab coalition. The king of the North will enter into the glorious land, the Jewish state of Israel, and many countries will be overthrown. The two major powers mentioned in this prophecy will soon fulfill this end-time prophecy. When EU forces enter into Israel, there is nothing to indicate this will be a forceful entry. One definition of the word enter is "to cause to come in, to lead in, to bring in." There are other Bible prophecies that indicate this power is invited in as a peace-keeping force. This EU force is going to surround Jerusalem after they have been apparently invited to enter into Israel. When they surround Jerusalem, it is a sign for God's people to flee.


The world will look upon the EU army as a peace-keeping force. But, who will know the terrible truth about this world shaking betrayal! Today, America confers billions of dollars to Israel's support, but watch for this support to decline. There is no mention of America or Britain as part of these two kingly powers, and since they are Israel's two main supporters, prophecy reveals that these two will become very weak powers. Watch as the world stage is set, when the U.S., Britain, and Israel go to the German-led EU for serious assistance in this end-time. As in the past, so it will be in the end! There will be a serious position of weakness for the U.S., Britain, and Israel, and a position of power for Germany. It will all relate to the inviting the European army into Israel!

Germany will be the head of the king of the North, it is the voice and power behind the EU today! Here is a quote from the Islamic Affairs Analyst: "If we are right, and if the Arab-Islamic states will continue to have reason for waging war on Israel even after the conclusion of the Madrid peace process: if American support for Israel continues to decline for a variety of domestic reasons (and is not replaced by a comparable EU guarantee); and if an Israeli territorial retreat is matched by an adverse military balance (from Israel's point of view), then the logical conclusion is that war will be more not less likely as a result of the Madrid peace process. The public is not being told exactly how large a gamble Western diplomats are taking." This amazing statement reveals some of the specifics of prophecy! Already one can see the EU, or king of the North, filling the power vacuum being left by the U.S.! Colossal power shifts are occurring among nations, just as it is prophesied! As America will grow weaker, she will push Israel more and more into a state of retreat. The Jews have won five wars with the Arabs. America has and continues to pressure Israel to give up the fruits of all those victories. Just as Germany is prophesied to be the head of the king of the North (EU), watch as Britain and America decline in power in the near future to become the tail as conditions develop for the final fulfillment of end-time prophecy.

THE LAST CRUSADE

Most people think the Christian Crusades are the thing of the past, but they are wrong. There is going to be a final crusade, and it is going to be the bloodiest one of all. Although they are called Christian Crusades, they were primarily as series of Roman Catholic "holy wars" much like the Islamic "jihad" today, to wrest and gain control of the Holy Land. Roman Catholic, Jews, and Muslims have spilled rivers of blood for control of Jerusalem, and they will do it again. Both sides fought bloody crusades in the name of God. Does it make any sense for God to be fighting on both sides?

Initially, the crusades began in 622 A.D. when Roman Catholics fought and were defeated in a crusade against Persians and Jews. Some 60,000 Roman Catholics were killed, and 35,000 enslaved. The fall of Jerusalem left the Roman Catholic world shocked and in mourning and bitter against the Jews for the role they played in the war, which created a great deal of anti-semitism. Some historians consider this the first crusade, but the crusades best remembered were in the 11th century from 1096-1254. In 1095 at the Council of Clemont Pope Urban II unleashed a savage Catholic army and started the later crusades. By summing an army under the banner of the cross, the Pope was extending the Church's mantle over all Christendom and the Crusade was to be its expression and its instrument. The Pope's army would rescue Jerusalem, the spiritual, and therefore the physical center of the universe. He hoped that the Church would directly rule the redeemed Jerusalem, so by Papal decree, every man who enrolled for the struggle must mark himself by wearing the cross. The Pope's method of raising an army, besides good pay, was that he could offer paradise, anyone who participated had all his sins forgiven. Therefore, to fight in the Papal cause was an obligation and made one righteous (a good example type for the mark of the beast). This smacks of Islamic decree today, the killing of Allah's enemies as righteous and the reward is paradise? What religion is less guilty in God's eyes? Any God fearing man knows that only God can forgive sins and offer paradise! The teaching of God is to love our enemies, even die for them, not kill them. But it is man's decree that provoked Arabs and Jews to massacre Catholics throughout history in a similar manner, all in the name of religion. How is it that the three monotheist religions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam have the same one God, yet use his name to kill each other?

The Pope's decree led to a number of indescribable brutal wars between Catholics and Muslims for two and a half centuries between 1096 and 1254. The last conflict was in 1270, but ended as the result of the rise of the Islamic Turkish Ottoman Empire that eventually occupied Asia Minor and at various times between the 1400 and 1900's parts of north Africa, southeastern Europe, and southwestern Asia. WWI ended the reign of the Ottoman Empire, and the British then seized control of Jerusalem until Israel's Independence in 1947.

The three great monarchies of Europe at the time were England, France, and Germany. The crusades occurred during the time of the German Holy Roman Empire, which account for the crusaders being mostly comprised of Germanic people of northwestern Europe, to includes Germans, Scandinavians, and English, their Indo-European languages customarily divided into East Germanic (Gothic), North Germanic (Scandinavian), and West Germanic (English, Dutch, and Frisian as part of the Netherlands). The majority of the crusaders were actually German. Ironically also, is the English language is derived from the German.

The real tragedy is that the world today does not understand that Pope Urban II, and his successors, did, and still do not understand what the Catholic Church continues to do. The Roman Catholic Church's real beliefs surface only when given real power. And today, they are building the greatest power they have ever had. All you need to do is understand just some of their history to see what God is revealing. If you understand the Papacy and the Catholic Church, their future is exposed, add biblical prophecy to that equation and you will see that this world faces a frightening specter.

In 1937 Mussolini granted the Vatican sovereign and independent status as the nation with the power to create its own army. I realize this private army guard is extremely small and acts as ceremonial only, but in the past, the Vatican has often "converted" people by the sword. And, in recent times, declassified documents show how the Vatican worked closely with the Nazis. The Catholic religion is the only religion on this earth to have status as a sovereign nation, and is recognized with all the privileges holding a seat in the UN.

The fourth Crusade 1201-1204 was launched from a little Mediterranean island of Cyprus, which was captured by the Catholic crusaders during the third crusade. Crusaders attacked Alexandria, Egypt on their way to to the Holy Land. The victory was celebrated with unparalleled savagery. They spared no one. The native Christians and the Jews suffered as much as the Muslims. Merchants and householders who do not immediately hand over all their possessions were slaughtered with their families. Cyprus is like a bridge to Jerusalem. This tiny island is no stranger to foreign rule. Ancient Assyria (whose descendants are now modern Germany), Egypt, the Roman Empire, the Francs (France), the Venetians (Venice), the Ottoman Empire (Turkey), and Britain governed Cyprus in the past. It is now divided between the Turkish Cypriots in the north, and the Greek Cypriots in the south. Turkey is allied with the north and Greece is allied with the south. Greece is a EU member and Turkey is not. Cyprus, of recent years, looks more to the EU for its security. Since Cyprus is Christian surrounded mostly by Islamic Middle East, a union with Europe would provide the protection theory have been eagerly searching for. More than one crusade has been launched from Cyprus. Will we see the last crusade launched as well? Is history about to repeat itself?

Turkey, just north of Cyprus, has been a strong member of NATO for many years, yet a German-led EU rejected them from joining the EU, even though they have been applying since 1963. Cyprus is also on the list to join the EU and their chances look good. Why has the EU consistently rejected Turkey? Is it because Turkey is predominately Muslim? The Turks have sternly criticized Europe as a "Christian Association" unwilling to admit an Islamic member. They cite anti-Turkish discrimination in Germany, home to 2.5 million Turks, many of them migrant workers. Many Germans fear that EU membership for Turkey would prompt more Turks to move to the Fatherland for employment. With Turkey as a vital ally of the U.S. and an active member of NATO, and with its faltering relationships with the EU, many fear that Turkey will begin to turn from its Western alliance. There is a potential crisis in Cyprus. Already there are European troops in Cyprus under the auspice of UN peacekeeping forces. As the EU moves into Eastern Europe and the Balkans, repeating the history of the old Holy Roman Empire, it would seem inevitable, given the facts of Bible prophecy, that they will draw Cyprus into their fold as a bridge into the Holy Land. Britain currently manages two military bases in southern Cyprus that are vital in the Gulf war as they supply British and allied forces in the Persian Gulf, however; Prime Minister Tony Blair has stated that Britain is willing to give up British military bases in Cyprus in favor of a multinational force. Will this be UN, NATO, or EU forces?

And why does it look like tiny Cyprus will become a member of the EU? Is the EU already thinking about Cyprus as a launching base from which to protect their Jerusalem interests? You can be certain that the EU is thinking about how to protect Jerusalem. The have thought like this for almost 2,000 years. If this world truly understood what is happening in Europe, they would be trembling in fear.

Prophecy reveals that the end-time revised Roman Empire will ultimately be comprised of ten nations dominated by one in the guise of the EU. It will be mankind's system of things in politics, business, and religion identified as a man's name and number "666." It will repeated three times "woe, woe, woe" to those who will listen. The Vatican is part of his name identified as his imperfect bloody religion that is bonded with his imperfect politics and imperfect economical institutions striving towards one world government, economy, and religion. Today, already the EU is being called the Holy Roman Empire in parts of Europe, which has traditionally been the enemy of Islam.

Yet once again, the world is destined to see Islam pitched against Vatican-dominated Christianity in a "holy war" with Jerusalem as the prize. Cyprus is once again to figure predominately in one of these mighty battles for control of the strategic Middle East. The prophet Daniel revealed how past events unfolded and how end-time events will unfold concerning Cyprus. This old naval base that formed such a vital link in the European thrust to Jerusalem during the time of Rome, and during the time of the Crusades, will again see ships sent to do battle between a modern European power (king of the North) and a powerful Islamic force (king of the South).

One of the main tourist attractions in Jordan are the "castles of the Crusader." The catholics built most of them to war against Muslims and control Jerusalem. These castles are stark reminders of the bloody past. Where is it all leading? Bible prophecy tells that nothing is more important than to understand the history that is about to be repeated. The Jews have Jerusalem now since 1967, but not for long because both Islam and the Vatican have designs for Jerusalem. These two end-time great powers revealed as the king of the North (EU) and the king of the South (Islamic Coalition) are about to clash again, go head-to-head in the final crusade over Jerusalem. Their castles stand in stark reminder that they will be back!

Islamabo-Fascist Iran conducts major war games named "Road to Jerusalem" where between 150,000 and 500,000 soldiers participate. What could be more provocative? They are advertising their strategy to the world, not only by word, but by actions! Few people understand this Islamic passion for Jerusalem and its holy sites. These are kinds of passions that cause war! Iran is working fiercely to form a radical militant Arab coalition. Iran has virtually destroyed the Palestinian peace process single-handily, but still the world continues to talk peace. Iran and radical Islambo-Fascists don't want peace, and words will not deter them.

Fascist Iran supports subversive groups in various Islamic countries throughout the world such as the Hamas in Israel and the Hezbollah in Lebanon, while improving ties with Iraq and Egypt, and bonding close alliance with Moscow and North Korea. The U.S. attempt to isolate Iran is failing because the EU and most other nations do not support us. The U.S. is fighting against Biblical prophecy. Iran will get access to nuclear weapons, they believe America can be neutralized by nuclear terrorism.

Former Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat said, "We know but one word struggle, ... the jihad of the independent Palestinian state with its capital in Jerusalem." Jihad is the radical Islamic cry for holy war. They are going to get their war, but it is not going to be holy. It is going to lead to the worst suffering this planet has ever experienced. "And at the time of the end will the king of the South push at him, and the king of the North will come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; he will enter into the countries, and will overflow and pass over." Some radical Islamic countries are already claiming another Christian crusade has begun with the invasion of Iraq, but the are deceived! Still, they are gathering and becoming stronger as they begin to push others around in the Middle East. Soon they are going to push at the king of the North, or the so-called revived Roman Empire as the EU, the same religious power that was behind the crusades. And, then they will realize their push is the one that causes the final crusade.

The crusades are the Pope's work. Still, most people try to hide from this frightening reality. This is the main reason why the worst Papal crusade is yet to come. Mankind refused to believe the truth that God reveals. The world so quickly forgets, and because they do, the massive bloodshed will continue again because there is going to be one last and final crusade that will cause the worst suffering ever on this earth.

KING OF EUROPE

God is giving his final warning to his end-time people, those descendants of the British Commonwealth, America, and many Western European countries, and modern Israel as the descendants of ancient Israel (Hebrews) and Judah (Jews). God reminds us that our forefathers of ancient Israel heard a voice out of the fire on Mount Sinai, and it is only ancient Israel and, her descendant peoples of the promise given to Abraham, that have known the One True Living God. No other nation or nations on this earth have a history with the One Great God of Creation. And God holds his people accountable for that history whether we accept it or not!

Events unfolding in Europe are going to cause World War III very soon, and yet most people are blind to the great crisis that is about to explode. History reveals that our greatest hope has been religion, but this has been a false hope that has led us into the most savage wars ever known. Today the Christian nations fight fight against religious wars in the backyard of Europe and middle east. Radical Islamo-Facists threaten to expand their war throughout the world! Today the U.S. and Britain hold Islamic terrorism at bay, but this terror is now becoming the primary confrontation to Europe (EU) an a major problem for the United Nations (UN). Islamic world terrorism is the fuse that will ignite the last nationalistic and religious war between Christendom, Judaism, and Islam.

But first, there is a great deceit deeply embedded in Christianity. One must look beyond the surface to see it because the reality is rarely what it seems. One must examine the stunning developments in the European religious arena because it is accelerating more and more everyday and will impact your life. Since 1966, the Roman Catholic and Anglican Protestant Church of England have been in official dialogue whose stated aim is eventual reunion. The Anglican Church split from Rome in 1534 over King Henery VIII's decision to divorce his first wife, Catherine of Aragon. Since May of 1999 the Anglican Roman Catholic International Commission declared the papal ministry as a gift to be received by all churches because the pope was the key to the discernment of truth. The protestant daughters are returning to their mother church as prophesied.

It was the Catholic Church that created the well-documented "ratlines" for most of the Nazi war criminals of WWII to escape! This reveals, as well as many other actions of the time, that the Vatican was allied with Germany during WWII that killed over 50 million people. Today that alliance continues as evidenced in 1991 when Germany and the Vatican supported the breakaway Catholic republics of Croatia and Slovenia of Yugoslavia when virtually the whole word was against it. Catholic Croatia and Slovenia were zealous allies of Hitler during WWII. Most of the world caved in to Germany and the Vatican, which triggered the civil war in Yugoslavia (former Serbia).

Why did not the U.S and NATO bomb Catholic Croatia in the north as they did Bosnia and Kosovo in the south? Were not the atrocities of genocide and ethnic cleansing of Muslim Serbs forcing them to flee their homes south the same as Bosnia? It appears that the Germans solved the problem of getting rid of Muslin Serbs from Croatia and Slovenia by refusing to let them return to Croatia. Very little is said about the tragedy in Croatia, mostly we heard about Muslim Bosnia and Kosovo.

Sadly, the facts become more disturbing as America surrenders to Germany's nationalistic Croatian policy. Germany has long historical ties with Croatia and Slovenia since both were part of the Austria-Hungarian Empire, and many people still identify with the German speaking world. More deeply, Croatia and Slovenia have been part of the Holy Roman Empire of Europe through the ages, beginning with Justinian in A.D. 514. Today, Germany is supplying modern military armaments to Croatia. For the first time since WWII German troops and the Air Force (Lutwaffe) are deployed outside of Germany to defend Croatia, while America is supporting peace in Bosni. The European community collectively had hoped to keep the powerful Germany under control with the help of the U.S., instead America is helping Germany enforce its will on Europe. The Europeans are being helplessly swept along knowing painfully that Germany caused two world wars.

It is now the Germans who controls the Balkans. The Germans maintain peace in Croatia, Slovenia, and Kosovo, while the U.S. temporarily maintains peace in Bosnia. Germany now sits in control in Eastern Europe, and by all intents and purposes have, by stealth. conquered the Balkans! They are now in perfect position to extend their dominant influence in Europe further eastward, and it has begun. In July 1999, thirty world leaders lent their support to formalizing an Eastern European Stability Pact. Under this pact, the German-dominated EU supervises economic and political reconstruction and security in Romania, Bulgaria, Albania, and the Balkans. Germany is now in charge of the wholesale political and economic construction and control of southeastern Europe! The Austrian Empire, the Ottoman Empire, and even Stalin in 1947 tried to unite the Balkans under one government, and, in different ways, failed. However, Germany has done it with diplomatic blitzkrieg and masterful political maneuvering, at the same time cloaking its historical reputation as a warmonger under the shroud of "peacemaker."

Germany's master plan is to control more than Europe. Germany has actually pressured and directed NATO and the U.S. to carry out their ambitions in Europe. How many Americans know about the open skies treaty that allows Germany to fly surveillance flight over the Continental U.S.? Since the 9/11 World Trade Center attack, they now fly Air Warning and Control (AWAC) missions over the States. And the German Luftwaffe has access to various combat and strategic missions at U.S. air bases. Also, all of U.S. nuclear weaponry is now controlled from Washington D.C. There are no more submarines with independent authority to launch nuclear missiles. America has become dangerously vulnerable to an ally that will eventually betray her!

Germany is pushing hard for a European defense organization apart from the U.S. and the Kosovo crises has helped Germany leap into a leading military role in Europe. Today, it is German's role in Afghanistan that now enhances German mighty military power.

Bible prophecy clearly indicates that their will be a group of nations, to the east and to the west in a final resurrection of imperial Romish Europe, and the word of God cannot be broken. These nations in imperial Europe is given very specific power which binds them together for a short time. This binding is religion that gets its power from the Vatican in Rome. It is simply the spiritual power, the seat of power and the great authority of this almost 2,000 year old Church that will bind together temporal unity. The Vatican is stepping up its program to draw both its wayward Protestant and Eastern Greek Orthodox daughters back into the fold.

The Holy Roman Empire has been resurrected six times in the past from the time of the Roman Emperor Justinian to Napoleon, Mussolini, and Hitler. The next one will be the last. These EU "kingdoms of the North" are also called the king of the North, it is a European-based political, economic, and religious system. During the last days this system will move its headquarters to Jerusalem. This means its Church has a very strong belief about the importance of Jerusalem to their religion, it will be the last Crusade!

In a sense, history which had been held back by the cold war for forty years was revived on November 9, 1989 when the Berlin Wall fell. Now we have entered the time of "no more delay" in the course of world events. The history of mankind is about to reach its crashing, globe shattering climax! The fall of the Berlin Wall heralds the dramatic acceleration of a revival of European imperialism which had been somewhat stalled during the cold war, simply put, the resurrection of that old imperial power that has dominated history since B.C. 31, the Roman Empire.

Images of the old double-headed eagle of the Roman Empire have replaced the Soviet hammer and sickle in Eastern Europe. Throughout European history, the imperial eagle was the historic symbol of imperial power to Europe. The double-headed eagle, in particular, is deeply symbolic of the eastern and western divisions of the old Roman empire. God revealed to Daniel a composite image of future great empires that would prevail through history. The two legs of iron represent the eastern and western divisions of the Roman Empire as it became divided in A.D. 330. This would be followed by seven resurrections of the Roman Empire following the fall of the city of Rome. The final resurrection is literally rising upon European soil this very day. The seventh head with its ten horns is the revival of one aspect of the beast, the Roman Empire as the EU.

In 1989. it was the Polish Pope, the crusading knight of the Vatican who cried out. "Europe! Find your roots!" Thus, Poland was the initial wedge, struck by the Vatican hammer, which split the Iron Curtain asunder. Now, the double-headed eagle is sewn back onto the red and white flag of Poland and they declare their sovereignty to their roots in the Holy Roman Empire of Europe. This commenced the building the eastern leg of imperial Europe. Following Polish example many European nations suddenly sprang loose from the Communist yoke to re-establish their national independence. Out of the mixture of Baltic, East European and Mediterranean countries has risen the EU's eastern leg. The stultified spiritual needs of the people have moved them from the atheistic communism to their Catholic and Orthodox roots.

Once there were only a few who saw that Germany was quietly and covertly going about its business of revival into an imperial power. Now more observers are seeing something askew with the uniting of Europe. They are seeing a dramatic realignment of nations, as they juggle back and forth into an "old world order" configuration one more time to call themselves the "new world order," as they are led by Germany and the Vatican who are currently and redeveloping and resurrecting the old Roman Empire under the guise of peace. In reality, fascism is on the march again. It's style is different, but the ideological core is the same, the attempt to create a holistic-national radical third way. But this time, fascism does not dress in brown shirts or in SS black, or march in jack boots. No, these fascists wear clothes of a different kind, smart Italian-cut suits where the color is now gray and the material is cut to fit the times, but the aim is still power. The old Roman Empire is about to be reborn one last time. Its roots go deep. Its culture is founded upon a mystery (Babylon) religion.

Prior to 1989, the formation the formation of the western leg of the forming European Empire was well advanced. Protected by the Atlantic Alliance, under the umbrella of the NATO, the EU was free to develop its foundation. Riding the curtails of the U.S. post war Europe rapidly rebuilt under the protection of the Marshall Plan. Deutschland quickly and temporarily off its Nazi bureaucrats, businessmen, technocrats, industrialists and financiers and led the way in erecting a robust West European economy.

Major world events are rapidly growing toward the emergence of three major power blocs: the Christian king of the North (EU), the Islamic king of the South (Arab Confederation), and the king of the East (China-Asia alliance) that will dominate international relations as this age draws to a close. And with impending major events now shaping the world scene they will wreck the greatest havoc imaginable upon the billions of people who populate this planet.

GREATEST DECEPTION

The Bible clearly reveals that God has already revealed himself fully and completely to us. He has done this both in the pages of the Bible as the written word of God, and through human form as Jesus the Living Word (physical form) as Almighty God. If we accept his message of his kingdom as he presented it to us in the New Testament, there is no need to look for any further

revelation, nor has God promised any. It does not mean that God's revelation is complete, it simply means we should understand it. When God said he would send an end-time Elijah to restore all things, don't be deceived into believing it is some man or religion in the end-time. What God is saying is that Malachi is referring to Elijah as "a type of work," like that of Elijah, which is in reference to the coming Messiah, "before the great and dreadful day of the Lord comes." Although this is referenced to the end-time, the key word is "before," it does not say how long. Jesus refers to Elijah as himself, "Elijah comes and will restore all things," and to John the Baptist as well as himself, "Elijah has already come," meaning like Elijah, they do the work of bringing the message of God's coming to restore his kingdom on this earth. The prophets prepared the way for Jesus, and Jesus prepares the way for his Second Coming to establish his kingdom on this earth. At the time, as Jesus implied, his people did not recognize him, nor did they recognize the works (understand the message) of Elijah and John the Baptist. Today, most most of God's people continue to fail to recognize the works of Almighty God as Jesus (meaning the message of who he is and his restoring and establishing his kingdom on earth), thus they are easily deceived by those of Christendom who merely use his name.

Those who expect revelation or some sign by God only need to read the Bible. Are there any religious institutions that can restore all things? Can your church restore all things? The incarnate Almighty God is the only one who became carnate man to restore all things. Jesus warns he is the only way to eternal life, there is no other way! Peter emphasized that there is no salvation in any other, for there is no other name given among mankind, whereby we must be saved. What other mortal man or religious dogma could possibly do this thing? Your Christian denomination cannot save you no matter how large it may be.

KILLING OF END-TIME AMERICA

God warns not to put trust in man. Cursed be the man that puts trust in man. And as we put more and more trust in man, we push our responsibility to God aside. The cursed-evidence is all around us! How is it that anti God, anti-moral, and anti-freedom organizations such as the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) can corrupt America and little is done about it?

Is it that people care little about morals? Pornography is now the cancer of the internet and readily available to every child in America. Social liberals stamp the gene-flaw or disease approval on all social and character behavior disorders, like homosexuality, alcohol and drug abuse, and astonishing enough even some criminality and we must accept it rather than condemn it for what it is. We must be co-dependent with it or be branded as homophobic and intolerant. Most child-rearing authorities condemn any spanking of children. Liberal laws let teens commit mayhem and murder without due punishment. American families are upside down leading to rampant divorce. Doesn't anyone understand or even care that bad morals destroy families? These nation-destroying problems will not be corrected until we think about morals and marriage the way God does. In these end-times restraint is almost unheard of, if it feels good, do it. Most people don't care if leaders have depraved moral problems as long as the economy is good. "Children oppress and women rule over them" reveals that Church leaders tell their congregations what the want to hear in order to hold or add to attendance. "In those days there was no king in Israel, every man did that which was right in his own eyes." Is it not the same today?

Ghastly abortions and term-abortions (babies murdered as they are delivered) stink to the high heavens right up to God's nose!

This baby is grabbing hold of the doctor's finger as if to cry out "I am alive, help me!" What does this say about life and the choices we are making? In all fairness this picture shows a baby being delivered in an emergency cesarean section, the baby is not aborted. The picture is used to reveal that an even a premature infant is ready for life, literally grabbing on to it, not death.

Abortion is a terrifying and diabolical reality that erases a generation before its first breath! America's founding fathers promised future generations in this great nation life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. If those men could see what is happening today, they would be shocked to witness the country's policy that allows the legal slaughter of a quarter of its regeneration population, before they had the chance to breathe just one breath of fresh air. Abortion is as common place as divorce for women in America and Britain.

Since the infamous 1973 Roe v. Wade case that set the precedent for legalized abortion in the U.S., the U.S has slaughtered millions of its regenerative population in the womb! This is America's lost generation! It may be legal in U.S. minds, but in God's mind it's genocide. America has condemned other countries for genocide and ethnic cleansing, but stands guilty of her own genocide. In God's eyes who is less guilty of murder?

Not only in America is this phenomenon of murder in the womb extant. In London, a registered charity offers a walk-in-lunch-hour termination service to its busy secretaries and professional women. The technique employed takes as little as ten minutes, time to rush in, quickly abort the incontinently conceived life, then off for a tuna sandwich and Chardonnay with the latest boyfriend!

America's mind has been closed to the horror of mass slaughter taking place within the collective national womb. Yet, subconsciously, the average American knows that something dreadful is extant, even as the average German during World War II feigned ignorance to the holocaust, yet in their hearts knew that something was going on amongst them on a massive scale.

This creeping moral relativism of liberal socialists, imposed upon America, has produced a deep seated canker of immorality. Something has hardened the nation's heart to the point where little newborn human beings can be trashed in public toilets and dumpsters. If there is no God to govern the affairs of men, then why shouldn't government or medical ethicist or public opinion be our God? Indeed, why not if there is no God? But there is a God! Almighty God of life! In the biblical Old Testament he is called Jehovah, titled Father! In the New Testament he is called Jesus, titled Son! And by his Spirit he sustains the immutable law that life can only begotten by pre-existing life! In other words, it is only Almighty God, who is the Creator, who is the Father, who is Spirit, who is the Son, and who was Flesh; that has the authority to sustain and terminate human life!

THE ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION

Jesus revealed to his disciples signs that would immediately precede his Second Coming. He warned first and foremost of religious deception, specifically Christendom (all denominations and sects of Christianity) claiming to be doing their work in his name. Other prophecies reveal more specifically how this false religion of Christendom will dominate the unfolding of end-time events. Regardless of what anyone thinks, Jesus knew the dangers this religious deception would pose. "Let him that reads understand" the abomination of desolation, meaning that which desolates.

In 1944, when Germany began to realize they were losing World War

II, top German industrialists met with Nazi leaders "to plan a secret post-war international network to restore Germany to future power"' according to declassified U.S. Intelligence documents (Reuters). German militarism is well-documented in secular and biblical history. Even in the 20th century, Germany caused two world wars killing millions. You can be sure that soon, the contents of that document will impact the lives of every person on earth.

The declassification of U.S. intelligence documents show that Jesus was right about the abomination of desolation and he intends this prophecy to be understood in the end time. It is not an evil individual that rises to deceive the whole world, but the system of things produced by mankind! It involves a combined political, economic, and religious system as characterized as beastly (out of the sea and out of the earth) rising out of Europe. Jesus warned to be watchful, for on the wake of the abomination in the end-time those in Judea and Jerusalem (modern Israel) are to flee. This warning is reference not only to the descendant Jews of Israel, but also to the descendant Israelite peoples of the U.S. and Britain. Jesus wants his people to understand this prophecy so we will be prepared when he calls. "For there will be Great Tribulation, such as no man has seen," and the abomination will inflict the worst suffering ever on God's people. "When you see Jerusalem compassed with armies, know that the desolation is near." The abomination is these armies surrounding Jerusalem. Other prophecies also reveal that there will be European armies dominated by one European nation, and U.S., Britain, and Israel soon will not have the upper hand, as they had for years.

God reveals the measuring of his temple (congregation) and alter (the Philadelphia type as disciples), which is the inner court, but excludes the outer court (Laodicean type as lukewarm Christendom) and holy city (Jerusalem) because they are to be given unto the Gentiles (those without God) for 42 months. In other words, in the end-time God is going to measure his people, but those in the outer court refuse to be measured. This means they are not close to God anymore because they worship by their own design, and God will not protect them. But those in the inner court do "get it" and these "prophesy again" meaning "speak the truth" as did many ancient prophets including Elijah, John the Baptist, and God himself as Jesus. Those of the inner court will be the only people God will protect.

In the past, Germany repeatedly contrived the resurgence of German militarism. "Woe to the Assyrian, the rod of my anger, in whose hand is the club of my wrath. It is in his heart to destroy, to put the end to many nations." Although God is referring to that history much further back than end-times, who are wise and can see who started both World Wars. Ancient Assyria was a destructive nation and it is that nation God will use as descendant Germany to dominate other nations of Europe (EU) and bring them against Israel, the U.S. and Britain. Even our own leaders said Germany has repeatedly caused wars. They know about Germany's history of causing wars, and yet they have formerly classified such documents showing German plans to do so again.

In the past, Germany and the Catholic Church together were called the "Holy Roman Empire," and have cut off nations "repeatedly" since A.D. 554. Primarily, Germany has led the "Holy Roman Empire" since 554 beginning with the Roman emperor Justinian and successive reigns of to the time of Napoleon. Otto Von Hapsburg of Austria claims to be the one who actually has the right to the throne of the empire today, and he said: "We posses a European symbol which belongs to all nations of Europe, equally. This is the crown of the "Holy Roman Empire, which embodies the tradition of Charlemagne. Both France and Germany claim Charlemagne as their idol as they have tried to conquer Europe in the past. France tried under Napoleon and Germany under the Reich. The German empire has been the most destructive war machine in mankind's history and that history is not talked about as much as it should be. God is allowing the German-led EU to rise one last time for a far greater purpose.

Lawlessness abounds everywhere, and still American profess to be religious. "In God we trust," it says on our dollar. People talk about obeying God, but the many are lawless. Hypocrisy is everywhere including Washington, although we only call it "inappropriate behavior," God calls it lawlessness, the rebellion or "the man of lawlessness." It is mankind's world system of things that is breaking God's law. There are churches all over this land like no place in the world, but that does not impress God! He calls future Israel a "hypercritical nation" and his Church (leadership) "the people of my wrath;" and he will allow Germany and the EU to "trample them down." God refers to future Israel as his Christian nations because they are the descendant Judean-Christians of the "promise given to Abraham." Remember, Jesus was born a Jew from the tribe of Judah that also carries the "Scepter" promise" (a sign borne by a sovereign as the symbol of authority). This why descendant modern Israel today is primarily from the tribe of Judah who were called Jews. It is the Jews who carry the lineage of God's birth on earth, and Christendom is a branch.

Who can see the very clever German led EU plan to preserve the peace of the world, but what most do not know is that they have plans for winning the battle of a deceptive peace. That's a kind of battle Americans do not know. The U.S. has never lost a war, that is a declared military war, but we have never won a peace-conference because leaders of other nations outfox us in the battle of peace. To illustrate, consider the U.S. gave away Eastern Europe to Russia after winning WW II. Stalin ended up ruling Poland, the very nation that brought the British into the war in the first place! Again in 1991, the U.S. and Britain let Iraq outfox them at the peace table only to result in another war in 2003 that continues to this day. That's how weak the U.S. is in peace conferences. The U.S. does not understand German thoroughness where they are carefully and methodically planning, in such eventuality, the third round as WW III. Hitler had lost the second round in Europe, but the Nazis have simply gone underground and they plan to return. When this occurs, all end-time prophecy will nearly be filled. If one were to look closely, the EU is just a cloak for German ambition. Germany is capitalizing on the momentum of the EU to set Europe firmly on the road to its federal future. German ambition is all roads lead to a greater Berlin, the capital of Germany and Europe? The new single currency, the euro, is run from Frankfurt and whoever controls the EU dollar controls the EU. The world has not yet got in focus the monster now emerging from the Prussian sand of the Holy Roman Empire; Germany will be the heartland of a United Europe in the 21st century.

God is revealing to his people that Europe will be the German-led superpower of the 21st century! So much is happening in Europe as it brings its past to the forefront once again. When Charlemagne was crowned by the pope, this statement was made: "Nevertheless it is quite clear the kingdoms of this earth belong to the Bishop of Rome; they are his to give." Cardinal Alfonse Maria Stickler says this about doctrines of the Roman Catholic Church: "We believe in aggressive Catholicism against ungodliness." that concept was also the tradition of Charlemagne. It is vitally important that one understand the prophecy of Revelation 13, "the beast out of the sea (wicked mankind), the beast out of the earth (wicked society as system of things)" and the power behind the beast (Satan). Even strong leaders like Britain's prime ministers Margaret Thatcher and Tony Blair risked their jobs speaking out against the EU. They can't win because it is prophesied to happen! Look at the power fueling it, the German-Franco power-led EU that will continue until Jesus returns to put down this abomination that will bring about the end-time desolation of mankind's lawless system of things on this earth.

Did you know that ancient conquering Assyria was the only nation at the time to repent when God sent the prophet Jonah to warn them of total destruction. In contrast, today, God is using the Assyrian descendant Germany as the example to warn the nations of this end-time world to repent before their total destruction. Did you know a German training center is established at the Holloman Air Force base Alamogordo, New Mexico. The Pentagon has stated that this is the first permanent foreign military base ever established on American soil! Is the U.S. so vain that its leaders have failed to learn from previous lessons in history? Have they forgot that Germany plunged this planet into two world wars that killed millions of people. Germany has a history of striking down nations with little or no warning. What if Germany becomes our enemy, they are not very friendly today? What if they were to attack the U.S. when we thought they were an ally? Could Alamogordo be our Trojan horse?

Hitler said before WW II that if war came, "I should fall upon my enemy suddenly, like lightening striking out of the night!" The problem is that most people did not believe him, even after he made the statement! When the West started rebuilding Germany, even Konrad Adenauer, the German leader after WW II, said rebuilding Germany was "taking a calculated risk." He knew his own people. He knew Nazism was not dead. These men knew Germany had "repeatedly" disturbed the world's peace. Former German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt said that Germany is again putting on "imperial airs." In October 1995, Margaret Thatcher warned Germany is using its new economic clout to control European policies and institutions. "You have not anchored Germany to Europe, you have anchored Europe to a newly dominant, unified Germany. In the end you'll find it will not work."

The vast majority in a poll taken in Germany said that Nazism was a good idea, only badly carried out "it lost the war for us." Powerful German leaders are keenly aware that America supplied armaments to defeat Germany in both world wars. The Nazi underground has stated publicly that America would be their number one target in the next war. Amazingly, the U.S. is determined to let nothing stand in the way of building up a re-armed Germany. This re-arming will be the heart and core of the United Europe that will revive Roman Empire and awaken the abomination of desolation. The Bible is very specific, for example, the prophet Ezekiel warns the descendants of end-time Israel, primarily U.S. and Britain, that God is going to "raise up your lovers against you." The signs are already here.
