2. Many have stated that it is impossible to know whether or not we are living in the last days
before the second coming of Jesus Christ. However, below you will find dramatic proof that
these are the endtimes. The proofs below defy coincidence.
Euphrates River to Be Dried Up In Revelation 16:12, the Bible predicts that the Euphrates River
will be dried up to prepare the way for the kings of the east to invade Israel. This will happen at the time of the battle of Armageddon
according to verse 16 of the same chapter. The battle of Armageddon will be the final battle at which time Jesus will return and fight
on the side of the nation of Israel. Immediately thereafter He will establish His kingdom and usher in His one thousand-year reign of
peace. On January 13, 1990, the Indianapolis Star carried the headline “Turkey Will Cut Off Flow of Euphrates for One Month.” The
article stated that a huge reservoir had been built by Turkey. While filling up the reservoir, the flow of the Euphrates would be stopped
for one month and a concrete plug for a diversion channel built. These things have now been done. With this newly built dam, Turkey
has the ability to stop the Euphrates River at will. The conditions for fulfilling this 1,900 year-old prophecy are now in place.
China Goes to War In Revelation 9:15-16,
the Bible prophesies that an army of 200 million soldiers will launch a war which would kill “the third part of men.” Never in the
history of the world until our present generation has there been a power on earth that could field 200 million soldiers. However, the
late ruler of China, Mao Tse Tung boasted in his diary that he could field an army of 200 million. The CIA World Factbook reports
that in the year 2001, it is estimated that China has 200,886,946 men of military age, and this number is growing by 10 million per
year.
Worldwide Numbering System Predicted In Revelation 13, the Bible prophesies that a
world dictator will soon rule over a world government. He will cause all people in the earth to receive a number without which they
will be unable to buy or sell. We are seeing this prophecy fulfilled before our eyes in a most astonishing way. Nearly every human
being in the world now has been assigned a number. In America it is our Social Security number. In the past few years, we have seen
this number extended to newborns. A child without a Social Security number cannot be declared as a dependent on an income tax
return. We have seen the emergence of electronic money, shopping with credit cards, and many people urging the abolishment of cash.
All of these things could not possibly have been fulfilled until this present time. Only after the invention of the computer could such a
worldwide numbering system be administered.
The Emergence of a New World Order Revelation 13:7 and
Daniel 7:23 prophesy the establishment of a world government. The term “New World Order” has become a prevalent phrase in the
world’s political culture. Mikhail Gorbachev made the term famous, and Pope John Paul II has referred to it repeatedly. In the
September 12, 1990 issue of the Chicago Tribune, our former president George Bush said, “Iraq is the first test for the New World
Order.” He emphatically stated that the Iraq War is Saddam Hussein against the world. The United Nations’ troops are continually
referred to as the multi-national forces. The decision has been made to establish an interdependent community of nations that will rule
the world under United Nations authority. The Bible says that this will lead us into a great world government. The formation of this
government is at hand.
or Divine Providence?
Is it coincidental that all of these major prophecies pertaining to the last times are being fulfilled simultaneously?
Hardly.

Europe is an extremely diverse conti-
nent. It’s a mixture of nationalities –
many of which have openly warred with
one another – a mixture of languages,
unique cultures and customs. Its history
is rife with generational turbulence and
national rivalry. With such a historically
volatile environment, political amalga-
mation would require a distinctive
approach to “government.” Hence, the
EU has set up a complex web of inter-
linking governing organizations—all
designed to compliment each other while
staying on top of national differences.
Are these institutions functioning
smoothly? Are they operating efficiently?
No – which is why the critics claim it’s an
incapable body. However, we need to
keep in mind that the EU program – as a
“grand” experiment in multi-national
cooperation – has never been attempted
before. Growing pains are to be expected.
While the European Union is strug-
gling to define itself, its policies are

and abroad. For example, the EU has been The 50-foot Euro sign in front of the European Central Bank in Frankfurt, Germany. ECB offi-

other on the Council on Foreign
Relations.
How the international community
regards Israel and Middle Eastern affairs
is of paramount importance to prophecy
students. In the past, signs from the halls
of global power had been vague. This has
now changed. The CFR has opened its
closet and published its first official peace
proposal for Israel and the Middle East.
They contend that the time has come for
a settlement to be imposed by the inter-
national community.
Why has it taken this long? It’s because
today’s global beast is dramatically more
powerful than it was even five short years
ago. It is coming of age, is speaking great
things, and appears ready to confirm a
covenant. The Council on Foreign Relations, in its official publication, proposes a solution for the Middle
East that sounds as if it were lifted from the pages of the Bible.

Where do we go from here? Is there an
answer at all to this situation? Enter the
CFR’s Foreign Affairs.
The article was entitled “The Last
Negotiation—How to End the Middle
East Peace Process,” written by Hussein
Agha and Robert Malley. Agha is a senior
associate member of St. Antony College
at Oxford University in England. He has
been involved in Israeli-Palestinian affairs
for more than 30 years. Malley is Middle
East Program Director at the
International Crisis Group. Between
1998 and 2001, at the time when Bill
Clinton was fixated on making a lasting
mark on history by brokering a Mideast
