THIS ARTICLE IS REPEATED IN EACH ISSUE OF
ENDTIME FOR THE BENEFIT OF OUR NEW READERS.

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 this is the last times. All of the proofs below
taken together defy coincidence.
1.
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 Christ will return and fight on the side of
the nation of Israel. Immediately thereafter He will establish His kingdom and usher in His 1000-year reign of
peace.
On January 13th, 1990, the
Indianapolis Star carried the headline “Turkey will cut off flow
of Euphrates for 1 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
1900 year old prophecy are now in place!
2.
CHINA GOES TO WAR: In Revelation 9:1516, the Bible prophesies that an army of 200 million
soldiers will launch a war which will 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
Tsetung boasted in his diary that he could field an army of
200 million. We see that this prophecy pertaining to the
very last times could not ever have been fulfilled until now.
3.
WORLDWIDE NUMBERING SYSTEM PREDICTED: In Revelation chapter 13, the Bible prophesies
that a world dictator will soon rule over a world government. He will cause all people on 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 last few years we have seen
this number extended to small children. 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
are 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.
4.
THE EMERGENCE OF A NEW WORLD
ORDER: Revelation 13:7 and Daniel 7:23 prophesy the
establishment of a world government. We recently have
seen the term “new world order” being used
by the leading political people of our
world. Mikhail Gorbachev has
made the term famous, and
Pope John Paul II has referred to it repeatedly.
Finally our former
President,
George
Bush, in the Chicago
Tribune, September
12, 1990, said “Iraq is
the first test for the
new world order.” He
stated emphatically 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. We can see this
happening right before our eyes.
COINCIDENCE OR DIVINE PROVIDENCE? The
Euphrates River can be dried up, the necessary 200 million
man army is available, a worldwide numbering system is
possible because of the computer, and now the new world
order is appearing.
Is it coincidental that all of these major prophecies pertaining to the last times are being fulfilled simultaneously?
Hardly!

8 Behold, A Pale Horse
The pale horse rider of the book of Revelation has been relegated to
future apocalyptic events. However, the 20th Century has been the
bloodiest century in the entire history of mankind. There are
compelling reasons to believe that the pale horse rider named death
has already been unleashed upon the earth.

10 Historicism vs. Futurism
Have the prophecies of the Bible already been fulfilled or are they yet
future? This debate has raged among prophecy students for centuries
now. Is there a possibility that some prophecies have, in fact, been
fulfilled, while others are yet to come?

During the first coming of Jesus, people experienced incredible
prophetic fulfillment. But most of them never realized it. Did we
experience any fulfillment of the Bible’s prophecies in 1999?

25 What to Expect in 2000
It is quite probable that the year 2000 will be the most important
year prophetically since the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.

anything out of the ordinary really happening here?
It is undeniable that we live in momentous times. The dawn of the age of

the World Community and the increasing interdependence of nations holds a
certain excitement and limitless potential. The world has shrunk. We are all
global citizens.
But what does all this mean—if anything at all? Where will this lead us?
Should our hearts be frozen by fear, or
should we be energized by the incredible
possibilities that we sense are just ahead?
How do we respond to this new age?
It all depends on whether you intend
to win or lose. If you see possible loss of
possessions and even life resulting from
prophetic fulfillments, which are obviously just ahead, then a bunker mentality
will be your natural response. If your first
response to the emerging world government structures is how to protect your
home and family, then very tough times
are undoubtedly just ahead.
But if somehow we tap into the words
of Jesus… “Whosoever will save his life
shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his
life for my sake and the gospel’s, the same
shall save it,” suddenly the dynamic
times just ahead become pregnant with
limitless possibilities. We suddenly see

whom the Prophet Daniel spoke, “…but
the people that do know their God shall
be strong, and do exploits. And they that
understand among the people shall instruct many.” (Daniel 11:32-33)
Suddenly the urgent question of what
we should be doing at this unprecedented juncture in human history
becomes crystal clear. We should be
doing what our captain and leader Jesus
Christ commanded us…Go, preach the

What is Endtime Magazine?
In 1968, Irvin Baxter Jr. discovered the United States and other modern nations in the Bible. He also
found the Berlin Wall in the Bible and that one day it was to be torn down, reuniting Germany, and that
event would be the catalyst to spark an international movement called the "New World Order." These
things have now come to pass.
Irvin Baxter Jr., a Pentecostal minister, began Endtime Ministries in 1986 when he wrote A Message
For The President, a book explaining the major prophecies of the Bible which he had been teaching
since 1968.
After the fall of the Berlin Wall, prophetic fulfillment accelerated rapidly. The decision was made to
launch Endtime. The purpose of the magazine is to explain the prophecies of the Bible and to show
that they are now being fulfilled in intricate detail.
Articles focus on the soon return of Jesus Christ, the truth of the Bible, and the need for salvation.
Endtime does not deal with doctrinal controversies, as valid as they may be. This will be left to other
publications.
STATEMENT OF FAITH: We believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God, that Jesus Christ is
the Savior of the world, and that He will come again to establish a kingdom that shall never be destroyed (Daniel 2:44).Those who are born again (John 3:3-5) will have eternal life and rule as kings and
priests with Christ forever.

Letters to Endtime
“A man’s heart” was given to the eagle
Hi. I listen to your broadcast all the time and have your
Bible study. However, one conflict has arisen that I have been
unable to address. Perhaps you could help me with it.
Daniel 7:4 of the King James Version of the Bible says, “The
first was like a lion, and had eagle’s wings: I beheld till the
wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth
and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man’s heart was
given to it.”
Your position on this verse is that the lion is Great Britain
and that the eagle’s wings are the U.S.A. I agree. However, I
believe the giving of a man’s heart to ‘Uncle Sam’ needs to be
re-thought. The man’s heart was given to the lion, not to the
wings. “It,” the lion, was lifted up, not the wings. And a man’s
heart was given to “it,” not to them.
Thank you,
M. Wright
Internet
Reply: The unclear wording of this passage leaves the door open
for your question. The issue is—does “it” refer to the lion (Great
Britain) or the eagle (the U.S.)?
We know that the United States does use the symbol of Uncle
Sam (a man) as well as the symbol of the eagle. Also, the U.S. has
dealt with her enemies in a very humane way. The United States
has defeated them in war. Then, instead of plundering them, she has
helped them build their countries back up.
These are the reasons I believe that the “it” refers to the U.S.
However, I certainly would not claim infallibility on this point. It
is fortunate this particular question doesn’t have a great deal of
impact on the overall meaning of this very important prophecy.

Business as usual
I have heard by a number of Bible teachers that, before the
Second Coming of Christ and the 1,000-year reign of peace,
there will be transference of wealth from the unbelievers to
the believers. The verse used is “The wealth of the wicked is
stored up for the righteous.” (Proverbs 13:22) I do not see how
this fits into the endtime events. Please comment.
In Christ,
J. Stanko
Campbellsburg, KY
Reply: I don’t see the Bible specifically prophesying a massive
shift of wealth from non-Christians to Christians prior to the Second
Coming. However, I do believe that God will make financial resources available to those who are fulfilling the Great Commission.
If we are to preach the gospel of Christ into all the world, it will require considerable financial resources.

JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2000

Any teaching that non-believers will suffer massive financial
losses before the Second Coming of Christ is probably not scriptural. The Bible tells us that men will be eating and drinking,
marrying and giving in marriage until the day that the Lord
comes. It sounds like “business as usual” to me.

Mystery Babylon is Rome
I’ve heard it taught that New York City is possibly the new
Babylon? Could this be true, seeing that New York is a world
trade city, and it is sometimes called Babylon?
Thanks,
The Marti’s
Reply: It is being taught widely by some that Mystery Babylon
of Revelation 17 & 18 is America with New York City as the trade
center. According to the Bible, this is not true.
The woman named Mystery Babylon in Revelation 17 is identified with several unmistakable clues:
Verse 18 tells us that the woman is a city.
Verse 15 teaches that she is also an international system.
Verse 9 explains that the woman (the city) sits on seven hills.
Verse 4 says that the woman is arrayed in purple and red.
According to verse 6, the woman was to be a great persecutor of
Christians.
There is a very powerful force on this earth that fulfills every one
of these prophecies to the letter.
Rome is a city. It is known as “the city of seven hills.”
Rome is the headquarters for the Roman Catholic Church, which
claims one billion members from all over the world.
There are two ruling bodies in the Catholic Church—the
Cardinals who wear red, and the Bishops and Archbishops who
wear purple.
History tells us that the Vatican and the papacy have been responsible for the deaths of at least 50 million Christians over the last
1,700 years.
The Vatican fulfills this prophecy so accurately it is astonishing! Rome is Mystery Babylon. It is not America, and it is not
New York City.

The “Two Harvests”
Jesus in Matthew 13 and John in Revelation 14 speak about
the two harvests of people at the end of the tribulation. What
people will remain on the earth after the two harvests of people?

Reply: The clearest picture is given in Revelation 14. The first
harvest is the rapture of the church. The second harvest refers to the
armies of the one-world government of the Antichrist being cast into
the winepress of God’s wrath at Armageddon.
Not every human being left on earth after the rapture will fight at
the Battle of Armageddon. Daniel 7:12 explains that the nations
(the beasts) on earth at the time of the Second Coming will have
their dominion (their power) taken away, but their lives will be prolonged for a season and a time.
The Bible is not explicitly clear concerning who will be allowed to
live on earth as mortals into the 1,000-year reign of Jesus Christ
and His church. We know that the Israelites, who were twenty
years of age and below, were not held responsible for the unbelief of
their parents when Israel refused to possess the Promise Land. They
were allowed to enter the Promise Land after their parents died in
the wilderness.
The same may well hold true into the millennium. Whether
God will use the same age factor or not will be decided by God
Himself.

They will be poured out during the Seventh Trumpet
Let me begin by thanking you for your good work.
The first four bowls (vials) in Revelation 16:1-9 are the
same as the proclamations of the two witnesses in Revelation
11:6—“These men have power to shut up the sky so that it
will not rain during the time they are prophesying; and they
have power to turn the waters into blood and to strike the
earth with every kind of plague as often as they want.”
Revelation 11:5 states, “If anyone tries to harm them, fire
comes from their mouths and devours their enemies. This is
how anyone who wants to harm them must die.”
The fifth and sixth bowls may also be proclamations of the
two witnesses. The seventh bowl is poured out, and the
church is raptured along with the two witnesses at the beginning of this bowl. Why do you not connect the two witnesses
and the bowls together?
Thank you for your time, and have a nice day.
G. Pacheco
Dallas, TX
Reply: You bring up a very interesting question. Does God actually unleash some of the vials through the ministry of the two
witnesses, or are the things that are done by these two prophets
merely similar to the vials?
We don’t believe it’s possible for the vials to be poured out during
the ministry of the two witnesses because we can prove that the vials
are poured out during the sounding of the seventh trumpet. Since the
sounding of the seventh trumpet signals the end of the ministry of the
two witnesses, it is obvious that the vials are poured out after their
ministries have concluded.
How do we know that the vials are poured out during the sounding of the seventh trumpet?
One of the things that occurs when the seventh trumpet sounds is
that the temple in heaven is opened (Revelation 11:19). This is important because Revelation 15:5-6 tells us that, when the temple in
heaven is opened, the seven angels having the seven plagues come
out. They then pour out their vials.

Another thing that happens under the seventh trumpet is the arrival of the time of God’s wrath (Revelation 11:18). Revelation
15:1 teaches us that the seven last plagues contain the wrath of
God.
From these things we can see that all seven vials will occur during the seventh trumpet era.

The utimate outcome of the Israeli-Syrian
negotiations
God bless you and your ministry. I listen to your radio program, “Politics & Religion”, on WHRI. I have questions.
1. What will be the outcome of the negotiations concerning the Golan Heights and Syria?
2. Have the Jews started building their Third Temple yet?
3. How would you recommend that I follow and learn
about prophetic events?
Please, help me get started.
May God richly bless you,
J. Teshome
Debre Tabor, Ethiopia
Reply: I am so happy you are able to listen to “Politics &
Religion” in Ethiopia.
1.It was understood when the Israeli-Syrian negotiations
began that any peace with Syria would entail the total return
of the Golan Heights. It appears that Israeli Prime Minister
Barak has decided to pay that price.
From the prophecies of the Bible, we know this will result
in disaster. Scripture is clear that the armies of the World
Community will invade Israel at the time of Armageddon by
crossing the dried up Euphrates River. This path will then
lead through the Golan Heights and into Israel. So Israel is
getting ready to assist her enemies’ future invasion.
2.Israel has begun preparations for the building of the Third
Temple, but actual construction has not yet begun.
3.There are three things you should do to understand prophetic
events: Go through our Understanding the Endtime
prophecy course, subscribe to Endtime magazine, and listen to “Politics & Religion.”

Behold, A
Pale Horse
His name that sat
on him was DEATH
David Hatcher/IPOL, Inc.

by Irvin Baxter Jr.

And I looked, and behold a pale
horse: and his name that sat on him
was Death, and Hell followed with him.
And power was given unto them over
the fourth part of the earth, to kill with
sword, and with hunger, and with
death, and with the beasts of the earth.

W

hat are the possibilities that Death, the
pale horse rider of
Revelation 6, has
been loose upon the
earth during the 20th Century? Before
you totally reject this idea, take a moment to consider the following facts.

The bloodiest century
The 20th Century was the bloodiest
century in the entire history of the
human race. Before the 20th Century, a
war had never claimed 1 million lives.
Then came World War I with its 8 million deaths. Twenty short years later,
World War II resulted in 52 million fatalities. These two wars alone qualify the
20th Century to be labeled the “century
8


These human skulls are a testimony to the fact that you and I have the dubious honor of living in
the bloodiest century in the history of mankind.

of death.” But there is much, much more.
The Economist magazine, September
11, 1999, reports that the governments
of the Soviet Union, China, Germany
and Japan combined have killed, during
this century, 170 million in political

purges. When we add to that the 8 million killed in World War I and the 52
million in World War II, the level of inflicted deaths becomes absolutely
staggering!
As distasteful as it is, we are obligated


j/f 00 mag

to also mention the unprecedented
slaughter of life in the 20th Century by
way of abortion. Between 1975 and the
year 2000, approximately 1.14 billion babies have been killed by abortion.
Add to this total of death—victims of
earthquakes, famine, AIDS, cancer and
many other death-dealing diseases. The
total claimed by the pale horse rider becomes mind-boggling. With just those
causes that we have been able to list
here, we can calculate a total of at least
one-billion three-hundred eighty million
inflicted deaths during the last one hundred years!
When we realize that the total population of the earth to begin the 20th
Century was 1.6 billion, 1.38 billion violent deaths during the 20th Century
become all the more astounding!

Is this idea scriptural?
If the fourth seal and its pale horse
rider has been loose during the 20th
Century, then it is obvious that the first,
second, and third seals must have been
loosed before this. Could this be true?
The identity of the white horse rider,
the red horse and the black horse is explained in A Message for the President,
chapter 3, and in Understanding the
Endtime, Lesson 4. Let’s take a moment
to briefly review the identity of these
three horses and their riders.
The white horse rider symbolizes
Roman Catholicism. White is the official color of the pope and the Vatican.
The pope dresses in white, his helicopter
is white, his popemobile is white and his
jet airplane is white. If he had a horse, it
would certainly be white as well.
The red horse rider is Communism.
Red is the official color of Communism
or Socialism. That’s the reason that socialist countries are known as Red
China, Red Russia, et cetera. When God
wanted to prophesy about Communism,
he used the symbol of the red horse.
But what about the black horse? Most
people are not aware of it, but black is
the official color of Capitalism and
Democracy. The balances in the hand of
the black horse rider symbolize trade, the
central message of Capitalism.
Once we understand the identities of
the white horse, the red horse and the
black horse, it is easy to see that they
have been loosed on earth for quite some
time. Catholicism dates, at least, back to

325 AD. The Communist Manifesto was
written in 1848. We also know that
Capitalism has been a force for at least
100 years now.
Since it can be shown that the first
three seals were all loosed prior to 1900,
then it makes perfect sense that the 4th
seal, Death, would be unleashed upon
the earth during the 20th Century. The
1.38 billion deaths that have occurred
during mankind’s bloodiest century ever
certainly support this belief!

“Immediately
after the Great
Tribulation, the
kingdoms of this
world will become
the kingdoms of
our Lord and of his
Christ...Even so,
come Lord Jesus!”
Experiencing prophecy without
realizing it
Throughout the history of God’s dealing with man, most human beings have
been unaware of the prophetic times in
which they lived. At the first coming of
Jesus, many incredible prophecies were
fulfilled to the letter. Yet most people
missed His First Coming.
The same thing is occurring right now.
We are experiencing far more prophetic
fulfillment than occurred at the first
coming of Jesus. Yet most people again
are blissfully unaware of the prophetic
times in which we presently live.

We are still in the pale horse era
Even though the bloodiest century of
mankind is now over, that does not mean
that the era of the pale horse rider,
Death, is over. We know that Revelation
9:13-16 prophesies a war that will kill
“one-third part of men.” If this literally
means what it says, two billion human
beings will be wiped out in this coming
war. It would appear that this catastrophe
will also be included under the era of the


pale horse rider—Death. If we add this
two billion that are prophesied to die to
the 1.38 billion deaths we have already
documented, this would bring the toll of
death over the last one hundred years to
an incredible 3.38 billion human beings.
Can anyone doubt that Death has been
riding through the earth during the 20th
Century?!

After the pale horse rider—thenwhat?
The pale horse rider was loosed upon
the earth when the fourth seal was unleashed. A description of events under
the fifth seal is given in Revelation 6:911,
“And when he had opened the
fifth seal, I saw under the altar the
souls of them that were slain for the
word of God, and for the testimony
which they held: And they cried
with a loud voice, saying, How long,
O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not
judge and avenge our blood on them
that dwell on the earth? And white
robes were given unto every one of
them; and it was said unto them,
that they should rest yet for a little
season, until their fellowservants
also and their brethren, that should
be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.”
It is obvious that the events of the fifth
seal occur during the time of the Great
Tribulation, since the fifth seal speaks of
the martyrdom of the saints. Notice that
those souls under the altar are told to
wait just a little season until the persecution of their fellowservants and their
brethren was fulfilled.
From all of these things, we understand that we are approaching the end of
the fourth seal era and nearing the beginning of the time of the Great
Tribulation. Negotiations on the final
status of Jerusalem and the return of areas
of Judea to Arab control indicate that
conditions are presently shaping up to
fulfill the prophecies concerning the
Great Tribulation period. The Great
Tribulation will last for three and onehalf years.
Immediately after the Great
Tribulation, the kingdoms of this world
will become the kingdoms of our Lord
and of his Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever. Even so, come Lord Jesus!

Prophecy
Fulfilled or Yet To Come?
Endtime Archive

By Irvin Baxter Jr.

T

here are two major positions
when it comes to interpreting the prophecies of the
Bible. One belief holds that
the prophecies of the Bible
largely pertain to the endtimes, and are
either being fulfilled now or are yet to
come. This position is known as the
Futurist belief.
The other position is called Preterist or
Historicist. Those holding this position
contend that the prophecies of the Bible
are largely, if not entirely, fulfilled and
past.
The Futurist position has been the
view held by the majority of Christians
for at least the last century. However, the
Historicist position seems to be reasserting itself of late.
Our purpose today is not to cast reflection on those who may sincerely hold
either of these views. We do want to examine both positions in light of scripture
to see which of these is biblical.

Defining Historicism
One of the most well known of the historicist writings is a book by Ralph
Woodrow entitled Great Prophecies of the
Bible. We will use his teachings to present the Historicist position as fairly and
accurately as possible.
Major prophetic doctrines of
Historicism are as follows:
10


Some say the rapture will soon take place. What does the Bible say?

1. The prophecy of Daniel’s 70 Weeks
has already been fulfilled in its entirety.
2. The Antichrist is not one particular
man, but has been fulfilled by the papacy of the Roman Catholic Church.
We should not be expecting an
Antichrist to appear in the future.
3. The prophesied ten-horn kingdom existed at the time of the dissolution of
the Roman Empire, and the papacy
rose up among these ten kings.
4. The Great Tribulation lasted 1,260
years and is now past. There will not
be a time of great tribulation at the

Second Coming. (Woodward does believe in a Second Coming of Jesus.
Apparently, some Historicists do not.)
5. The events of Jesus’ prophecy in
Matthew 24 have already been fulfilled and do not pertain to our times
today.

The Futurist position
1. There is a gap between the 69th and
70th week of Daniel’s 70 Weeks’
prophecy. The first 69 weeks have
been fulfilled. The 70th week, a sevenyear period, is yet to come to pass.
2. Though there have been many an-

tichrists throughout the years, the
Bible prophesies one Antichrist who
will rule a one-world government for
three and one-half years immediately
before the coming of Jesus Christ at
Armageddon.
3. The prophesied ten-horn kingdom is
yet to appear on earth, and the
Antichrist will arise among these ten
kings.
4. The Great Tribulation is yet future and
will last for three and one-half years.
(Some Futurists believe it will last for
seven years.) It will occur during the
last half of Daniel’s 70th week, and will
be terminated when the Antichrist is
destroyed by Jesus Christ at
Armageddon.
5. Most of Jesus’ prophecies in Matthew
24 deal with events of the endtime and
have yet to be fulfilled.

Step by step

tions are determined.
27 And he shall confirm the
covenant with many for one week:
and in the midst of the week he shall
cause the sacrifice and the oblation
to cease, and for the overspreading
of abominations he shall make it
desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be
poured upon the desolate.”

Who is the “he” that will confirm
the covenant for seven years?
Historicists believe the Messiah is the
one who was prophesied to confirm the
covenant. Futurists teach that it will be
the “prince that shall come”—the
Antichrist. This question is very easy to
answer.
Notice that the same “he” that is to
confirm the covenant is also to take away
the daily sacrifice and place the
Abomination of Desolation (verse 27).

Daniel 11:30-31 tells us in no uncertain
terms that it is the Antichrist (the king
of the north) and his followers who take
away the daily sacrifice and place the
Abomination of Desolation.
30 “For the ships of Chittim shall
come against him: therefore he shall
be grieved, and return, and have indignation against the holy
covenant: so shall he do; he shall
even return, and have intelligence
with them that forsake the holy
covenant.
31 And arms shall stand on his part,
and they shall pollute the sanctuary
of strength, and shall take away the
daily sacrifice, and they shall place
the abomination that maketh desolate.”
This passage is obviously not referring
to the Messiah. Would the Messiah ever

Has the prophecy of Daniel’s 70
Weeks already been fulfilled in its
entirety?
There are several aspects of the
Historicist interpretation of Daniel’s 70
Weeks prophecy that we want to examine. Let’s look at the prophecy found in
Daniel 9:24-27.
24 “Seventy weeks are determined
upon thy people and upon thy holy
city, to finish the transgression, and
to make an end of sins, and to make
reconciliation for iniquity, and to
bring in everlasting righteousness,
and to seal up the vision and
prophecy, and to anoint the most
Holy.
25 Know therefore and understand,
that from the going forth of the
commandment to restore and to
build Jerusalem unto the Messiah
the Prince shall be seven weeks, and
threescore and two weeks: the street
shall be built again, and the wall,
even in troublous times.
26 And after threescore and two
weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but
not for himself: and the people of
the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and
the end thereof shall be with a flood,
and unto the end of the war desolaE-mail: endtime@endtime.com, Website: http://www.endtime.com

prophecy—fulfilled or yet to come

“have indignation against the holy
covenant?” Would He ever “pollute the
sanctuary of strength?” Obviously not!
The entirety of Daniel 11:21-45 is discussing the actions of the king of the
north—the Antichrist.
So we can see clearly that it is the
Antichrist, not the Messiah, who takes
away the daily sacrifice and places the
Remember that the one who takes
away the daily sacrifice also is the one
who confirms the covenant according to
Daniel 9:27. So we know for certain
that it is the Antichrist, not the
Messiah, who will confirm the
covenant for seven years. Daniel
11:22 strengthens this proof when it
calls the king of the north (the
Antichrist) the “prince of the
covenant.”
This one proof totally destroys the
foundation of the Historicist position. However, there are several
other aspects of this question that
we want to examine.

Confirming the covenant for
seven years

endtime

The 70th Week—past or future
The Historicists contend that there is
no gap between the 69th week and the
70th week in Daniel’s prophecy, even
though they are spoken of separately in
Daniel’s account. How can we know
whether the 70th week is already fulfilled
or yet to happen?

When will the Abomination of
Desolation occur?
Jesus referred to the Abomination of
Desolation in Matthew 24:15. He plainly
said that the Abomination of Desolation
would be the event that launched the
Great Tribulation.

“The Great
Tribulation will last for
three and one-half
years. We know this
because Daniel 7:25
says the little horn, the
Antichrist, will wear
out the saints of the
most High for a time,
times and the dividing
of time.”

Daniel 9:27 says that “he” will
confirm the covenant for one week
(seven years). Historicists say that
Jesus confirmed the covenant of the
New Testament during his three and
one-half years of ministry. He was
then crucified in the midst of the
week (after 3 1/2 years), and then
was caught up into heaven 43 days
later. Herein lies the problem.
How did Jesus confirm the
covenant for the last three and onehalf years of the 70th week since he was
gone from the earth? The only escape
from this dilemma is to say that God
continued to deal with the Jews through
His church for three and one-half years
after His ascension. However, there is no
historical or biblical proof that God
turned from Jew to Gentile exactly three
and one-half years after the crucifixion.
In Great Prophecies of the Bible,
Woodward says that the confirming of
the covenant with the Jews during the
last 3 1/2 years of Daniel’s 70th week was
finished 3 1/2 years after Jesus’ ascension.
He claims this was when God sent Peter
to preach to a Gentile, Cornelius in Acts
10. However, there is no scriptural or historical proof for this assertion. This claim
12

has to be made in order for the doctrine
that Jesus is the one that confirmed the
covenant to fit. Of course, we have already proven that this is not true anyway.


Daniel 9:27 tells us that the taking
away of the daily sacrifice and the
Abomination of Desolation happens in
the midst of the 70th week. If we can
prove when the Abomination of
Desolation takes place, then we can
know when the 70th week occurs.
Historicists say that the daily sacrifice
was taken away by the crucifixion of
Jesus Christ. But we have already proven
by Daniel 11:30-31 that this is not true.
This passage plainly says that the taking
away of the daily sacrifice and the placing of the Abomination of Desolation
will be done by the Antichrist and those
that forsake the holy covenant. So what
is the Abomination of Desolation, and
when does it take place?

15 “When ye therefore shall see the
abomination of desolation, spoken
of by Daniel the prophet, stand in
the holy place, (whoso readeth, let
him understand:)
16 Then let them which be in
Judaea flee into the mountains…
21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the
beginning of the world to this
time, no, nor ever shall be.”
Matthew 24:15-16, 21

The Great Tribulation will last
for three and one-half years. We
know this because Daniel 7:25 says
the little horn, the Antichrist, will
wear out the saints of the most
High for a time, times and the dividing of time. A time is one year,
times is two years, and the dividing
of time is one-half year, for a total
of three and one-half years.
How do we know that time,
times and the dividing of time is
three and one-half years? We can
determine this because another description of this time of Great
Tribulation is given in Revelation
13:5-8. It states that the beast, the
Antichrist, will make war against
the saints for 42 months. Of course,
three and one-half years and 42 months
is the exact same amount of time.
Revelation 12:5-14 also teaches that
the Great Tribulation lasts for three and
one-half years. It says that the woman
(Israel) will flee from the persecution of
the dragon (Satan) for 1,260 days. Onethousand two-hundred threescore days
also equals three and one-half years.
As we can see, every single reference
to the Great Tribulation in the Bible
states that it will last for three and onehalf years.
Jesus said that the Abomination of
Desolation would begin the Great
Tribulation. Since we know that the
Great Tribulation lasts for three and onehalf years, we know that the

Prophecy—fulfilled or yet to come

Abomination of Desolation occurs three
and one-half years before the Battle of
Armageddon. Daniel 9:27 says that the
Abomination of Desolation takes place
in the middle of the seven years known
as Daniel’s 70th Week. This proves that
the Great Tribulation fills the last half of
this seven-year period.

Abomination of Desolation
happens three and one-half years
before the Second Coming
Matthew 24:29 tells us that, immediately after the Great Tribulation, the sun
will be darkened, the moon will not give
her light, the stars will fall from heaven,
and the powers of the heavens shall be
shaken. If the Great Tribulation has already happened, as the Historicist
viewpoint contends, when did all these
things come to pass? Obviously, they
haven’t.
Verse 30-31 continues right on to tell
us—“And then shall appear the sign of
the Son of man in heaven: and then shall
all the tribes of the earth mourn, and
they shall see the Son of man coming in
the clouds of heaven with power and
great glory. And he shall send his angels
with a great sound of a trumpet, and they
shall gather together his elect from the
four winds, from one end of heaven to
the other.”
This passage clearly states that, immediately after the tribulation, the sun will
be darkened, the moon will not give her
light, and the stars will fall from heaven.
It continues on to say that, right after
that, Jesus will come in the clouds, the
people of the earth will see Him, and he
will send his angels with a sound of a
great trumpet to gather His elect.
Are we to believe that Jesus has already come back? Has He in some
mysterious way secretly gathered His
elect? Of course not!
The conclusion is simply unavoidable.
The Historicist view that all these things
have already happened is simply not true.

What is the Abomination of
Desolation?
Some Historicists teach that the
Abomination of Desolation was fulfilled
in 167 BC when Antiochus Epiphanes
offered a pig on the altar in the Jews’
Second Temple. We know that this

3. The Abomination of Desolation signals the beginning of the Great
Tribulation.
4. The Great Tribulation lasts for three
and one-half years—the last three and
one-half years of Daniel’s 70th week.
5. Immediately after the Great
Tribulation, Jesus appears, sending his
angels to gather His elect. At this time
those dwelling on earth shall see him.
Once we understand these things, it
becomes obvious that Daniel’s 70th week
is a future event, not something past.

Another prominent view of the
Historicists is that there will not
be a future Antichrist.
Historicists say that the prophecies
about the Antichrist have been fulfilled
by the papacy of the Roman Catholic
Church. They teach that the ten-horn
beast of Daniel 7 symbolized the Roman
Empire. They claim that the Roman
Empire was divided into ten Gothic
tribes and that the Roman papacy and
the Roman Catholic Church arose from
among these tribes. Since so much persecution has been perpetrated against
Christians by the papacy, Historicists believe this has fulfilled the prophecies
concerning the Great Tribulation.
We have to acknowledge that tremendous persecution has been carried out
against Christians by the papacy over the
last 1,700 years. It is estimated that over
50 million Christians have died in these
persecutions because they would not profess belief in the doctrines of Roman
Catholicism. There is no doubt that the
harlot on the back of the beast in
Revelation 17 is the Roman Catholic
Church. But does this mean that the papacy fulfilled the prophecies about the
Antichrist?
In order to answer this question, we
need to understand that several different
names are used in scripture to refer to the
Antichrist. He is called the man of sin,
the son of perdition, the little horn, that
wicked one and the beast. Most commonly today he is simply referred to as
the Antichrist.
The Bible teaches us that there will be
two evil personages on earth at the time
of the Second Coming of Christ—the
Antichrist and the False Prophet. This is
taught in Revelation 19:19-20.

19 “And I saw the beast, and the
kings of the earth, and their armies,
gathered together to make war
against him that sat on the horse,
and against his army.
20 And the beast was taken, and
with him the false prophet that
wrought miracles before him, with
which he deceived them that had
received the mark of the beast, and
them that worshipped his image.
These both were cast alive into a
lake of fire burning with brimstone.”
Notice that both the beast (the
Antichrist) and the False Prophet will be
cast alive into the lake of fire when Jesus
comes to earth at the time of the Battle
of Armageddon. This means they will
both be alive on earth at that time. If we
say that the coming of the Antichrist is
not future, we also must say that the
Second Coming and the Battle of
Armageddon are not future events either. Even the Historicists admit that the
Second Coming of Jesus is a future event.
The teaching that ten Gothic tribes
growing out of the old Roman Empire
fulfilled the ten-horn kingdom cannot be
true. We know this because these ten
tribes no longer are identifiable on earth.
Yet the Bible explicitly prophesies in several places that the ten kings will be in
power at the time of the Second Coming
of Jesus.
In the prophecy of Nebuchadnezzar’s
image in Daniel 2, the ten toes on the
image represent the same thing as the
ten horns on the beast in Daniel 7 and in

Revelation 17.
It states in Daniel 2:44…
“And in the days of these kings shall
the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be
destroyed: and the kingdom shall
not be left to other people, but it
shall break in pieces and consume
all these kingdoms, and it shall stand
for ever.”
Notice that this passage clearly says
that God will establish his kingdom “in
the days of these kings.” What
kings?…the prophesied ten-nation
union that will be the power base of the
Antichrist.
Revelation 17:12 teaches the same
thing…
“And the ten horns which thou
sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but
receive power as kings one hour
with the beast.”
These ten kings receive power for a
very short period of time with the beast,
the Antichrist.
The Bible also says that this ten-nation union will fight against Jesus Christ
when He returns to earth with His saints.
We know this from verse 14.
“These shall make war with the
Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome
them: for he is Lord of lords, and
King of kings: and they that are with

prophecy—fulfilled or yet to come

him are called, and chosen, and
faithful.”
The prophesied ten kings will be on
earth with the Antichrist at the time of
the Second Coming of Jesus to earth.
These ten kings will actually fight against
Jesus Christ Himself.
All of these things prove conclusively
that the Antichrist is yet to appear on
earth. We also know that the ten kings
were not to appear 1,600 years ago. The
fact is—their appearance on the world
scene lies just ahead of us now!

Will the pope be the Antichrist as
Historicists claim?
Bible prophecy teaches us that the
Antichrist will come out of a revived
Holy Roman Empire. There have always
been two leaders in the Holy Roman
Empire—a political leader and a spiritual
leader. The Holy Roman Empire was
originally established in 800 AD when
Pope Leo III placed the crown on the
head of Charlemagne. He declared, “I
now crown you emperor of the Holy
Roman Empire.”
The Holy Roman Empire has ruled off
and on since that time. Each time it has
reared its head, it has always featured a
political leader and a spiritual leader
working together to establish a world
dominating empire.
It will be the same arrangement under
the endtime world government of the
Antichrist. The political leader will be
the Antichrist, and the spiritual leader
will be the False Prophet. So we can see
clearly that the pope will not be the
Antichrist. However, it is also obvious
that whoever is pope at the time of the
Antichrist will be the False Prophet.

The Great Tribulation—past or
future?
In Great Prophecies of the Bible, pages
69-70, Ralph Woodrow teaches that the
Great Tribulation began at the Roman
invasion of Jerusalem in 70 AD. On page
172, he states that the 1,260 days of
Great Tribulation really speak of 1,260
years of Great Tribulation—believing
that each day represents a year. If this
were true, the Great Tribulation should
have been completed somewhere around
1330 AD. But does this harmonize at all
with what the Bible says about the Great
Tribulation?

endtime


Daniel 7:21-22 plainly teaches that
the Antichrist will make war against the
saints until the coming of Jesus Christ to
establish His kingdom.
“I beheld, and the same horn made
war with the saints, and prevailed
against them; Until the Ancient of
days came, and judgment was given
to the saints of the most High; and
the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.”

“The farther
we move into the
endtime, the more
of the prophecies
will be fulfilled
and become
history rather
than futuristic.”
Matthew 24:29-31 affirms the exact
same thing.
29 “Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be
darkened, and the moon shall not
give her light, and the stars shall fall
from heaven, and the powers of the
heavens shall be shaken:
30 And then shall appear the sign
of the Son of man in heaven: and
then shall all the tribes of the earth
mourn, and they shall see the Son of
man coming in the clouds of heaven
with power and great glory.
31 And he shall send his angels
with a great sound of a trumpet, and
they shall gather together his elect
from the four winds, from one end of
heaven to the other.”
Notice that this passage states that,
immediately after the tribulation of those
days, the coming of the Son of man will
take place.
On every major point of prophetic understanding, the Historicist view
inevitably ends up in conflict with scrip-

ture. As we have seen, the evidence is
absolutely overwhelming that this view
is simply not what the Bible teaches.
However, it should be noted that some
prophetic fulfillment is now history. For
example, the rebirth of the nation of
Israel, prophesied in Ezekiel 37, came to
pass in 1948. In my book, A Message for
the President, it was taught from the
prophecies of the Bible that the Berlin
Wall would come down and the New
World Order would result. These
prophetic fulfillments are now history.
I believe it can be proven that the first
three seals of Revelation 6 have now
been opened (see Lesson 4 of
Understanding the Endtime). The farther we move into the endtime, the more
of the prophecies will be fulfilled and become history rather than futuristic.

What is important?
The Historicist vs. Futurist discussion
is not a salvation issue and should not be
allowed to become divisive in the church
at a time when our attention should be
focused on reaching the lost. However,
proper understanding concerning
prophetic fulfillment is vital if we are to
accomplish God’s will for these endtimes.
Daniel 11:32-33 reveals what God’s
people should be doing right now: “…
the people that do know their God shall
be strong, and do exploits. And they that
understand among the people shall instruct many…” If we don’t understand,
how can we help someone else? ❏

PROPHETIC
REVIEW

A Prophetic Look Back

—1999—
AP WorldWide/ Photos/Pierre Thielemans

by Irvin Baxter Jr.

T

he year of 1999 was not a
year for the faint-hearted.
We all had to sort through
the warnings of the Y2K
alarmists. Should we buy an
electric generator? Should we store dried
food? Perhaps the installation of a wood
stove would be good idea. And dare we
leave our money in the bank over
January 1, 2000? And Oh yes! Perhaps
we should purchase a few rifles just in
case our starving neighbors find out that
we were prudent enough to lay up some
extra food in our basement.
By the time you read this article, you
will know the answer to the Y2K riddle.
Did it turn out to be the “end of the
world as we know it” or merely a bump in
the road?
Our guess is that the real Y2K story
will not turn out to be whether or not the
power grid went down. It won’t be trucks
and railroad cars full of rotting food sitting beside highways and in railroad
yards because of a Y2K glitch. We think
the real Y2K issue is its role in bringing
the computer systems of the world up to
speed with the cutting edge of computer
technology. Businesses around the globe
have spent billions of dollars upgrading
computer systems just to be sure that
everything was Y2K compliant.
So now we have a world that is technologically prepared for a cashless

Since the euro's market premiere on January 4, the rookie European currency has been just a
hazy idea for many Europeans and tourists, since Euro coins and banknotes won't be introduced
until July 2002.

society. Whenever the Antichrist appears with his diabolical plans to give
every one a Personal Identification
Number (PIN) to be used for buying and
selling, thanks to Y2K, we are ready!

The euro—the cashless currency
Oh, by the way…while we were all
mesmerized by the specter of our world
being thrown back into the dark ages by
this two-digit computer glitch, eleven of

the fifteen nations in the European
Union made the historic leap into the
adoption of a common currency. That
dramatic development occurred on
January 1, 1999. If that doesn’t do anything for you, take one more look at it.
This currency, just adopted by the
major powers of Europe, has no money. It
is completely electronic! You can make
multi-million dollar purchases in euros,
you can buy a new suit and pay in euros,

but you can’t touch a euro, see a euro, or
put one in your pocket. The thing simply
does not exist—except on the hard drives of your bank’s computer!
Now they’re promising to produce
some actual money you can put in your
pocket by July 2002—that is if everybody
hasn’t gotten so used to operating “cashless” by then that there really won’t be
any reason to bother.
We who read the Bible know a cashless society is coming. The only question
remaining is—“Could the euro be the big
break in the dike that ushers it in?” We’ll
soon see!

Are we still moving toward
Armageddon?
I guess the Battle of Armageddon is
still going to happen. The Bible says it is.
Things became very tense as we
moved toward May 4, 1999. You see, the
Oslo Accords, signed by Arafat, Rabin,
and Clinton way back in September 13,
1993, promised that the final status of
Jerusalem would be negotiated and implemented by May 4, 1999. However,
when Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu was asked if he would negotiate the status of Jerusalem, he simply
said, “What is there to negotiate? It’s our
eternal capital. We don’t intend to re-divide it or share it.”

Foreign Minister Shimon Peres signs the Mideast peace agreement, Monday Sept.ember 13,
1993. From left, the late Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, President Clinton and Palestinian
Leader, Yasser Arafat look on from behind.

Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat
warned that he would unilaterally declare an independent Palestinian state
on May 4, 1999, if the promise concerning Jerusalem were not kept. Netanyahu
countered that, if Arafat declared
Palestinian independence, Israel would
unilaterally draw the borders of separa-

tion between Israel and the new entity.
Everyone knew that an explosion of
mega-proportions was brewing. Just in
time, hard-liners in Netanyahu’s coalition decided to withdraw their support
because Netanyahu was proceeding with
previously agreed upon withdrawals from
portions of the West Bank territories.

A prophetic Look back —1999—

Tony Blair: “We are all
internationalists now,
whether we like it or not.”

The move brought Netanyahu’s
government crashing down and
mandated new Israeli elections.
With new elections pending,
the European Union and the
United States prevailed on Arafat
to postpone his declaration of
statehood for one year. They feared
that Arafat’s threat would throw
the election toward Netanyahu.
Arafat agreed.
Labor candidate Ehud Barak ran
his campaign on the promise of
trading land for peace while still
safeguarding Israel’s security. Barak
promised to revive the peace
dreams of Israel’s assassinated
leader Yitzhak Rabin, who happened to be Barak’s personal
mentor.
The Israeli people desperately
want to live in peace. They have
known nothing but war and the
threat of war since the modern
State of Israel was born in 1948.
They voted to trade land for peace,
electing Ehud Barak by a large majority.

Why was this so
prophetically important?
Jesus, in Matthew 24:15-21,
prophesied specifically about the
area of Judea, which is the area
that Barak intends to trade back to
the Palestinians in exchange for
peace. Jesus said of those Jews who
will live in this area a few years
from now—“When ye therefore
shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the
prophet, stand in the holy place,
(whoso readeth, let him understand:) Then let them which be
in Judaea flee into the mountains…For then shall be great
tribulation, such as was not since
the beginning of the world to this
time, no, nor ever shall be.”
The critical thing to understand
is that the election of Ehud Barak
is having a direct bearing on
events that will soon fulfill the prophecies of Jesus Himself. That’s the reason
the election of Barak has had such a direct bearing on important prophetic
fulfillments.
On November 8, 1999, talks were
opened on the final status of Jerusalem.

endtime


The Bible is crystal clear that dispute
over Jerusalem will be the issue that will
ultimately trigger the Battle of Armageddon. When we realize that negotiations
on the final status of Jerusalem were
begun in 1999, it makes us know that
1999 has been a year of huge prophetic
significance.

When the U.S. government
began to whip up public support
for the military campaign against
Kosovo, most of us were sent
scrambling to our world maps to
see where our young sons might
just be called on to die. We were
told that genocide was taking
place and that world peace hinged
on bringing Mr. Slobodan
Milosevic under obedience to the
World Community.
America didn’t have much stomach for going to war in Kosovo,
but both World War I and World
War II had started in that part of
the globe. President Clinton said
that this military action on the
part of NATO was absolutely necessary to save us from World War
III. And, of course, President
Clinton had never lied to us
yet…had he?
Great Britain’s Prime Minister
Tony Blair added his voice to
those advocating the absolute necessity of breaking the will of
Yugoslavian President Milosevic.
In his speech, Doctrine of the
International Community, Blair
said, “We are all internationalists
now, whether we like it or not. We
cannot refuse to participate in
global markets if we want to prosper, we cannot ignore new
political ideas in other countries if
we want to innovate, and we cannot turn our backs on conflicts
and the violation of human rights
within other countries if we want
still to be secure.” Blair hinted at a
new role for NATO, turning it
into the military arm of a new
world order rather than a purely
defensive alliance. He said: “If we
can establish and spread the values of liberty, the rule of law,
human rights and an open society,
then that is in our national interest too.”

Don’t forget East Timor
Coming quickly on the heels of the
conflict in Kosovo, was the need for action by the World Community in East
Timor. This venture of the international-

ists came off much smoother than in
Kosovo. The Australians took most of
the responsibility for this endeavor, and
it basically has gone off without a hitch.
I think we’re starting to get the hang of
policing the world through the
International Community. And you
know, it’s sort of nice for the United
States to not have to police the world all
by herself. I think I could get used to this!
One thing sort of bothers me though.
This World Community thing looks an
awful lot like the world government
prophesied in the Bible over which the
Antichrist will have power. You’re scaring me now. Let’s change the subject!

Progress toward global
spirituality
If Y2K, the Middle East, the cashless
euro, and the increased acceptance of the
World Community were not enough, the
globalists have been very busy during
1999 on another very important front.
The Bible prophesies a global religious
system that will work hand in hand with
the coming one-world government.
The Dallas Thanksgiving Square
Conference was held mid-March, 1999.
This was a large interfaith gathering designed to cultivate dialog among the
different faiths of the world. Cardinal
Arinze, President of the Vatican Council
for Inter-religious Dialogue, was a prime
mover at this meeting. Episcopalian
Bishop Swing, the head of the United
Religions Initiative was also there.
Then in June, the United Religions
Initiative met to finalize the writing of its
charter. Religions from all over the world
were in attendance. Apparently, the URI
accomplished its mission. The constitution signing for the United Religions
Initiative is all set next year.
The largest interfaith meeting of 1999
was the Council for the Parliament of
the World’s Religions held in Cape
Town, South Africa, December 1-8. At
the previous Parliament of the World’s
Religions meeting held in Chicago in
1993, a document called the Global
Ethic was adopted and published. The
reports are not yet in on what was done
at the Cape Town meeting.
The goal of all these interfaith meetings is to arrive at a global belief system
so broad that all major religions can ascribe to it. Ultimately, allegiance to this
global belief system will be required for

“The flashpoint
for the prophesied
war that will kill

beings is most
likely the Taiwan
dispute.”

Taiwan would be grounds for invasion by
Mainland China. Since President Lee’s
state-to-state remark, China has established two missile launching sites
opposite from Taiwan. She has issued vociferous threats of impending invasion of
the island, which she regards as a renegade province.
Add to this mix the stealing of top
U.S. military secrets by Chinese operatives. Throw in the “accidental”
bombing of the Chinese Embassy in
Yugoslavia, and you have a formula for
impending disaster.

China is that 800-pound gorilla that
has planted itself squarely in the middle
of the world’s living room. It simply cannot be ignored! The 200 million man
army spoken of in Revelation 9:13-16
will almost certainly come from China.
The flashpoint for the prophesied war
that will kill 2 billion human beings is
most likely the Taiwan dispute.
Taiwanese President Lee threw gasoline on the fire on July 9, 1999, when he
said that China should deal with Taiwan
on a state-to-state basis. China regarded
this as tantamount to a declaration of independence. China has said repeatedly
that a declaration of independence by

When we assess the prophetic highlights of 1999, we have to admit that the
role of the World Community was
greatly enhanced by the operations in
Kosovo. It appears that NATO is moving
toward becoming the army of the United
Nations as a result of developments in
Kosovo.
The election of Ehud Barak as Prime
Minister of Israel has already resulted in
the rejuvenation of the Palestinian peace
process and the reopening of peace negotiations with Syria.
The de facto declaration of independence by Taiwanese President Lee may
have already lit the fuse on the greatest
global disaster in the history of mankind.
Finally, if you think 1999 was exciting,
just wait till you experience the worldchanging events of the year 2000! ❏

asten your safety belts. The year
2000 could very well be the
most important year prophetically since the crucifixion of
Jesus Christ.
Two major prophetic fulfillments are
likely to occur this year. The Bible
prophesies a war that will kill “the third
part of men,” and it speaks of the confirming of a covenant that will trigger the
final seven years to Armageddon.
Though we cannot say for certain that
these two huge events will come to pass
in this year of 2000, the probability is
very high.

One-third of world’s population to
be destroyed
China has threatened repeatedly to invade Taiwan if the island does not unite
with the mainland peacefully. Taiwan
has made it clear that she will consider
unification with the mainland once
China becomes a democracy. With
China’s total aversion to democracy in
any form, Taiwan’s position virtually assures that it will be a very long time

before any movement takes place toward
unification.
If China is to carry out her threat to invade Taiwan, she has a very limited
window of opportunity in which to accomplish it. The United States plans to
begin deployment of anti-missile defense
systems by late spring or early summer of
2000. Once these systems become operative, China will lose her ability to
blackmail the United States with her in-


tercontinental nuclear capabilities.
Consequently, the most likely time for
the invasion of Taiwan is during the first
six months of the year 2000. (See the
“Seven Trumpets” video for a more complete explanation of this prophecy.)

ment, by September 13, 2000, on all outstanding issues between the Palestinians
and the Israelis. These issues include
defining of final borders and determining
the final status of Jerusalem.
If some agreement on the final status
of Jerusalem is achieved, it will have to
deal with the status of the center of the
Jerusalem issue, the Temple Mount. If
this agreement in some way facilitates
the building of Israel’s Third Temple,
then this accord will probably be the
prophesied “confirming of the covenant”
(Daniel 9:27). It is the “confirming of the
covenant” that launches the final sevenyear period and culminates at the Battle
of Armageddon and the Second Coming
of Jesus to earth.
The possible developments already
mentioned are so huge in their importance that other pending events could
possibly be ignored. However, there are
some other prophecy fulfilling developments on slate that should not be
ignored.

Religious United Nations to be
formed
A meeting to explore the possibility of
forming a sister organization to the
United Nations was held in 1996. Those
involved were concerned about the religious conflicts that continue to threaten
peace on earth. While the political leaders of the world meet daily, and now have
achieved enough harmony to settle the
world’s problems through the venue of
the World Community, most religious
leaders still don’t even speak to each
other. The decision was made to form an
organization that could do for religious
harmony on earth what the United
Nations has achieved amongst the nations of the world.
Many interfaith conferences have
been held between 1996 and the present
time. The year 2000 will celebrate the
successful conclusion of these endeavors.
On June 26, 2000, a constitution signing
ceremony will be held for the United
Religions Organization. The signing will
be held on June 26, because that was the
date for the signing of the constitution of
the United Nations in 1945. The ceremony for the United Religions will not
only be held on the same date as the UN
signing, it will also be conducted in the
same city—San Francisco, in the same

The key role that the global religion

the birth of the United Religions

importance.

Ratification of the International
Criminal Court
On July 17, 1998, the nations of the
world voted acceptance of the Rome
Statute of the International Criminal
Court. This International Criminal
Court Statute had been a goal of the internationalists for many years. However,
the International Criminal Court cannot
begin to function until it is ratified by the
Congresses of at least 60 nations. A campaign to obtain this required ratification
can be expected this coming year. The
biggest obstacle in the way is opposition
from the world’s most powerful nation—
the United States.

If ratification is somehow achieved,
the world will never be the same. Every
time you cross an international border
you will become subject to possible arrest
and trial before this new international
tribunal. Believe it or not, this is not an
overstatement!
We are presently watching the establishment of the world court system that
will be used to enforce the edicts of the
Antichrist and his one-world government.

The bottom line
Never has it been more important to
be prophetically aware than at this time.
As we enter the new millennium, we can
only say that these are indeed momentous times.
The Apostle Paul put it this way in
Romans 13:11, “And that, knowing the
time, that now it is high time to awake
out of sleep: for now is our salvation
nearer than when we believed.”
To this we can only say, AMEN! ❏

EXCLUSIVE
INTERVIEW

U.S. Senator
James Inhofe

Prospects of U.S.-China War

U

.S. Senator James Inhofe
from Oklahoma is as concerned about China as we
are here at Endtime. His
research and tenacity
helped to expose the Chinese Spy
Scandal in the Clinton Administration.
He revealed last March that the Chinese
have stolen many of the United States’
top military secrets and nuclear weapons
manufacturing capabilities.
Recently, he led the Congressional effort to reject the Comprehensive
Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, understanding
that in the wake of the spy scandal and
constant threats over Taiwan, the U.S.
needs all the nuclear deterrent it can get.
We spoke with Sen. Inhofe on
“Politics & Religion” the day before the
Treaty was rejected by the U.S. Senate.
Baxter: Senator, thank you very much
for being a guest on “Politics &
Religion.”
Inhofe: Thank you, Irvin. It is nice to
be with you, and also it is nice to be with

alive. The idea that this President has
given away virtually everything in our arsenal to China is something that people
have forgotten about. They have been
distracted by Kosovo. Now they are
being distracted by the Comprehensive
Nuclear Test Ban Treaty. But we need to
keep talking about what is happening
with China.
Baxter: Senator, China has repeatedly


said she would invade Taiwan if Taiwan
refuses to be reunited with the Mainland
through diplomatic talks. In your opinion, from where you sit, is it likely that
China would, in fact, invade Taiwan in
the near future?
Inhofe: I think that the likelihood is
very good. Let’s remember the threats
that happened three years ago. The

election of President Lee in Taiwan, and
they were firing their missiles into the
Taiwan Straits. The second-highest
ranking Chinese military official was
asked the question, “Aren’t you concerned about the United States coming
to the aid of Taiwan?” His response was
“No, they are not willing to trade Los
Angeles for Taipei.” You can’t put any interpretation on that, other than a
growing arrogance. They have reached
the point of knowing that our President,
Bill Clinton, has stopped us from being
able to deploy a national missile defense
system. Consequently, we find ourselves
helpless before China’s nuclear blackmail. So this kind of a threat is very real.
My answer to your question is yes.
Baxter: That threat was actually published in the New York Times. China has
recently been holding military maneuvers opposite Taiwan. They say that they
will move militarily against Taiwan, if
Taiwan does not reunite with the
Mainland and forsake their claim of independence. If China invades Taiwan,
will the United States defend her?
is

Inhofe: The answer is that we should
be involved. However, with this
President and his affection for the
Chinese and all that he has done for
them, I cannot imagine that he would do
anything. Now this is really a personal
opinion because I know Bill Clinton. I
know the way he lies with such conviction. The Chinese have been his allies.
This is where he has been able to finance
his elections. He has sold, given away or
covered up the theft of every weapon in
our nuclear arsenal to the Chinese. It has
reached the point that the CIA said we
thought we were somewhere between
ten and twenty years ahead of the
Chinese militarily. Instead, we find ourselves in a dead heat with them because
of this President. So would he then go
against China? I just can’t conceive it.
Sax: Senator Inhofe, are the Chinese
bluffing? They say they will use force to
reunite Taiwan with the Mainland. Are
they bluffing?
Inhofe: I don’t think so. You stop and
think how methodically the Chinese
have been doing things. With Doug

“The idea that this President has given away virtually everything in our (nuclear) arsenal to China
is something that people have forgotten about…” U.S. Senator James Inhofe on U.S. President Bill
Clinton, shown here with Chinese President Jiang Zemin.

“Let’s stop and
realize that the
Chinese, the
Russians and now
the North Koreans
have missiles that
will reach anywhere in the
United States.”
Senate, we stopped the transfer of land in
California to Cosco—the Chinese
Ocean shipping company, which is
owned ultimately by the Red Chinese
military. This is the same Cosco
Shipping Company that was caught
shipping in 2,000 AK 47’s to be used in
street gangs in Los Angeles. This is the
same consortium that now has control of
ports on both ends of the Panama Canal.
These people haven’t been asleep. They
have been very carefully manipulating
and buying up land, and putting up installations in strategic places around the
world. It’s something we should be concerned about. Do they have the power?

Yes! Let’s stop and realize that the
Chinese, the Russians and now the
North Koreans have missiles that will
reach anywhere in the United States.
We have no defense against those missiles because, since 1993, President
Clinton has been able to stop us from
deploying a national missile defense system.
Baxter: China can hit the United
States with nuclear weapons right now?
We know that for sure, is that correct?
Inhofe: Yes.
Baxter: Let’s say they could take out
50 million of us, or let’s even drop it
down to 20 or 30 million. Would those
figures be reasonable? Do they have that
capacity?
Inhofe: Well, yes. If they use our W-88
warhead technology, of which they have
the information, yes, it could be that
devastating. A lot of your listeners will
remember in 1962, when all of a sudden
we found out that they had missiles in
Cuba. They were actually targeting 40
American cities. Do you remember how
panic hit the streets? Well, I look at
today’s situation as being more serious
than that. At least then they were all
concentrated on one island, Cuba.
