The Arab Spring - Endtime Magazine - Jul-Aug 2011miscott57
This document discusses upcoming events related to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and their significance to biblical prophecy. It summarizes that the Palestinians will ask the UN for statehood and recognition of borders including East Jerusalem in September. This could trigger the final 7 years prophesied in the Bible if it results in placing the Temple Mount under shared control. However, the US has promised to veto such a request in the Security Council so the Palestinians may go to the General Assembly instead. Whatever happens, the situation in the Middle East will change dramatically.
Jesus heals two blind men who cry out to him for mercy. When Jesus questions their faith, they affirm their belief in him. He then heals their blindness, saying it was done according to their faith. Jesus sternly commands them not to tell anyone about the healing, but they disobey and spread the news throughout the land. They then bring another man to Jesus who is both deaf and mute, and Jesus heals him as well. The passage demonstrates Jesus' power to heal physical ailments and restore people's spiritual sight through faith in him.

This article discusses several signs that the end times are upon us. It notes that the drying up of the Euphrates River, as prophesied in Revelation 16, is now possible due to a dam built by Turkey. It also discusses how China now has the military capacity to field the 200 million-man army mentioned in Revelation 9. Additionally, it points out that modern technology like social security numbers and electronic payment systems have enabled a worldwide numbering system, as predicted in Revelation 13. The article argues that these prophecies could not have been fulfilled until recent times and their simultaneous occurrence defies coincidence, indicating we are living in the end times.

The document provides commentary on Luke 15:19-24, which tells the parable of the prodigal son. It makes three key points:
1) In the parable, the father welcomes his son back with open arms even after the son wasted his inheritance and hit rock bottom, showing God's deep love and willingness to forgive those who repent.
2) The father's actions of running to his son, embracing him, and celebrating his return would have shocked Jewish audiences, as fathers were not expected to welcome back openly rebellious sons.
3) The father treats the son with great honor by having him dressed in fine robes and sandals, showing the son has been fully accepted and
Dr. Yosef Ben-Jochannan was an Egyptologist and professor who taught at Cornell University for over 15 years. He was renowned for his lectures on ancient Egyptian civilizations and for arguing that these civilizations were of African origin.

This document provides a summary of Mark 2:1-12 from a sermon given at First Baptist Church in Jackson, Mississippi. It discusses how Jesus heals a paralyzed man by first forgiving his sins, which the teachers of the law object to as blasphemy since only God can forgive sins. Jesus then heals the man to demonstrate that as the Son of Man he has the authority on Earth to forgive sins. The healing amazes the crowd and demonstrates that forgiveness of sins was mankind's greatest need, which Jesus came to provide.
Jesus curses a fig tree for not bearing fruit and cleanses the temple, overturning tables of money changers. This acts as a visual parable representing God's judgment on Israel for their hypocrisy and lack of righteousness. The temple had become a place of business rather than prayer. Jesus declares that his house should be a house of prayer for all nations. His actions foreshadow the destruction of the temple in 70 AD and the change in worship to be "in spirit and truth" rather than at a physical temple. The document provides context and analysis of these passages from Mark 11.

Book of Daniel, Gospels, Epistle to Thessalonian church and the Book of Revelation give details of an unholy alliance of wicked forces in spiritual realm and on earth. There have been 7 empires described in the Bible impacting God's people in one way or another. Behind each of these 7 empires were evil spirits of power controlling them for specific purpose. These spirits are at work even today working against God and His people, to bring in the unholy trinity of Satan, Antichrist and False Prophet into ultimate dominion on earth, very soon. Mysteriously United Nations, European Union, Statesmen of repute in world governments, financial institutions etc are controlled by highly secretive Illuminati and its tentacles like Freemasons, Club of Rome, New Age and so on. These are highly secretive in their strategy and manoeuvres but God's people can discern and identify them and keep themselves at a safe distance. This presentation helps identify these evil forces and their strategies. May this be an eye opener for the Church in spiritual warfare! Credit for this message goes to excellent in depth Bible study conducted over 7 days by TPM Church, Tamil Nadu, India from which this presentation has been put together.

The main articles discuss the founding of a United Religions organization, the prophesied rebirth of the Holy Roman Empire in the European Union, an interview with Maurice Strong, Taiwan standing up to China, and the possibility of the Confirmation of the Covenant beginning that year.

A look at the death of Jesus in the Gospel according to St. Mark. Jesus' crucifixion is interpreted in light of the biblical (OT) story and as fulfillment of the prophetic hope for Israel's exile to come to an end.
You raise a good point. Upon further study, it does appear that the "man's heart" was given to the eagle, not the lion, based on the context and flow of Daniel 7:4. Here are the key points:
1) The verse is describing the first beast, which has the body of a lion with eagle's wings. This clearly represents Britain, with its naval power symbolized by the wings.
2) It says "the wings thereof were plucked." This refers to Britain losing its colonies, represented by the wings/eagle's wings being plucked.
3) It then says "and it was lifted up from the earth and made to stand upon the feet as a man
Peace Peace When There Is No Peace - Jan-Feb 2001miscott57
This document is an issue of the Endtime magazine from January/February 2001. The cover story analyzes prophetic events from the year 2000, including the drying up of the Euphrates River and China's ability to field a massive army. An article predicts events for 2001, such as triggers for the final seven years and revelations about the cashless society. Another article discusses how the UN adopted a plan for world government through the Millennium Declaration.
This magazine issue from Endtime discusses several current events from a biblical perspective. It highlights China's buildup of 496 missiles near Taiwan, a potential shift in the Middle East peace process under Ariel Sharon, the growing use of radio frequency identification (RFID) technology and concerns about privacy, comments by President Bush comparing the European Union to the Roman Empire, and questions about the Christian position regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It also advertises an upcoming prophecy conference tour to Israel, Greece, and the Mediterranean.
This document contains summaries of 14 articles by Sandy Simpson on issues related to deception in the church. The articles address topics like karma, replacement theology, lack of spiritual maturity in churches, and movements like the Emerging Church and Indigenous People's movement. Simpson warns about teachings promoting other gods besides Jesus, replacement of Israel, shallow doctrines, and movements deviating from biblical authority and doctrine. The document provides links to order DVDs further explaining Simpson's analyses and warnings.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

Can the Antichrist and False Prophet be far behind?
Can the Antichrist and False Prophet be far behind?
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 govern-
ment. 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.

Spreading the guilt
When Messiah came to the Jewish
people, he was rejected. Jesus expressed
in Luke 13:34-35: “O Jerusalem,
Jerusalem, which killest the prophets,
and stonest them that are sent unto
thee; how often would I have gathered
thy children together, as a hen doth
gather her brood under her wings, and
ye would not! Behold, your house is left
unto you desolate: and verily I say unto
you, Ye shall not see me, until the time
come when ye shall say, Blessed is he
that cometh in the name of the Lord.”
Jesus related the coming judgment to
the seriousness of their sin; however,
not all of them rejected Him. Most peo-
ple overlook the fact that the early
church was comprised exclusively of
Jews who had believed Jesus to be the
Messiah.

The Jews wanted Jesus dead. The
Jews did it. The Romans put Him on

sins made it necessary. We did it. In
Isaiah, God said that He was pleased
to bruise the Son. The Father put His
Son to death. Jesus said no man takes
His life but He lays it down willing-
ly. Jesus sacrificed Himself.
The Jews killed Jesus? It doesn’t
exactly tell the whole story.
The true loving way
Quick in response to the national furor created by
Gordon, his denomination’s headquarters issued a
definitive statement explaining that it does not now,
nor has it ever in the past taught that the Jewish peo-
ple as a race or nation are responsible for the death
of Jesus Christ. “It is neither biblical nor logical to
hold an entire people responsible for the crucifixion.”
It continued, “Jesus’ death was for all mankind. Its
message is one of love and forgiveness, offering free-
dom and hope to all people regardless of race, lan-
guage or culture. Through His Spirit and the power
of His Name all are included in the biblical state-
ment that Jesus died ‘once for all’ (Hebrews 10:10).
“Contrary to what has been expressed, our con-
stituency is largely pro-Israel and accustomed to
praying daily for Jerusalem. We wholeheartedly
believe that the Jews were chosen of God to be His
instrument to bring monotheism to the world.
“We strongly disagree with any who would
attempt to use the Cross and the suffering of Jesus
as an excuse to justify anti-Semitism or any other
form of racism or prejudice. If one would attempt to
explain the reason for the death of Christ, he need
look no further than Romans 5:8: ‘But God com-
mendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were
yet sinners, Christ died for us.’”
This is the whole council of Scripture and the true
way to share the good news with the world, especial-
ly to our Jewish friends – for these are the people to
whom we are indebted for preserving the Holy
Scriptures and giving us our Messiah. e
