REVEALING THE FUTURE THROUGH BIBLE PROPHECY
 EVEALING THE UTURE THROUGH IBLE ROPHECY
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 bat-
tle 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 chan-
nel 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 num-
     ber 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 estab-
   lish 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.




Coincidence or Divine Providence?
Is it coincidental that all of these major prophecies pertaining to the last times are being fulfilled simultane-
ously?

    f believing the Bible is paranoia, then I am paranoid. The Bible explicitly prophesies a time when every person will
    be required to have a number in order to function in society. The Real ID Act is the biggest leap toward the proph-
    esied mark of the beast since the founding of this nation in 1776.
  The mark of the beast is going to happen. It is inevitable. However, it is not inevitable that America be a part of this
system! Let’s opt out of Satan’s diabolical plan to control every person on earth. Let’s repeal the National ID!

It’s not over ‘til it’s over
  We have three years until the National ID will be implemented. What can we do?
   1. Pray. Prayer changes things. Pray for those in government. “If my people, which are called by my
       name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then
       will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” (II Chronicles 7:14)
   2. Send this article to each of your Senators and Representatives.
   3. Demand the repeal of this enslaving legislation. Make it a litmus test in your next election—and every
       election thereafter. Demand that each candidate state publicly that he will fight the National ID. If a
       candidate won’t do this, vote against him. If he says he will do it, but then doesn’t after being elected,
       vote him out in the next election’s primaries.

 Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger from
 Germany. The name he chose for his
 papacy?…Pope Benedict XVI.
   St. Malachy referred to the 112th
 and last pope as Petrus Romanus, or
 Peter the Roman. Listen to the words
 of Malachy: “In extreme persecution,
 the seat of the Holy Roman Church
 will be occupied by Peter the Roman,
 who will lead his sheep through
 many tribulations, at the end of
 which the city of seven hills shall be
 destroyed, and the dreadful Judge
 shall judge the people.”

 The Eternal City is not eternal
    Besides being known as The City
 of Seven Hills, Rome has also proud-
 ly worn the title of The Eternal City.
 St. Malachy prophesied that Rome
 would be destroyed during the reign
 of the next pope. More importantly,
 the Bible prophesies the destruction
 of Rome in the very near future and
 states that Rome shall be no more.
    It can be proven conclusively in
 scripture that Rome is the Mystery

 30 ENDTIME MAGAZINE JULY/AUGUST 2005
2005
      may be the greatest year of prophetic
         fulfillment since the crucifixion.
Confirmation of the Covenant…......The Bible prophesies that
the International Community will confirm a covenant with Israel concerning the status
of the Holy Land and the status of Jerusalem. When this covenant is confirmed it will
mark the beginning of the final seven years to Armageddon. The Roadmap for Peace
is an international covenant concerning the status of the Holy Land and the status of
Jerusalem. This international peace plan has been presented to Israel and the
Palestinians and has been accepted by both.

        It appears that all the pieces to the Middle East
               puzzle may well converge in 2005!

RFID and the Mark of the Beast………                                As of December 31,
2004, Wal-Mart is requiring all its vendors to have RFID tagging on all pallets that
come across its loading docks. This is the first huge step in the plan for every item
manufactured on earth to be embedded with an RFID chip less than the size of a
grain of sand. The embedded RFID chip is projected to replace the bar codes that are
presently found on almost all items. When RFID technology is fully implemented, it
will allow the tracking of everything, everywhere. In 2004, an RFID chip implanted
under the skin was used for cashless financial transactions for the first time.

        This new technology is getting way too close to
                the biblical Mark of the Beast!!
Death from the Euphrates………Revelation                                  9:13-16 clearly
prophesies that a war will begin in the area of the Euphrates River that will kill one-
third of mankind. Most of the Euphrates River is in the nation of Iraq. The U.S. has
150,000 troops in Iraq at this present time. North Korea claims to have several nuclear
weapons. Iran seems determined to acquire nuclear capability. The War on Terror is
spreading, not reaching a conclusion.

      We could very well be in the beginning of this war
          prophesied to kill 2 billion human beings.
We must Reach 2 Billion as Fast as Possible.……The
question is not: “Will one-third of mankind die?” Or “Will the confirmation of the
covenant happen?” Or “Will there really be a mark of the beast?” The only question
is: “When?” Can we sit by, allowing 2 billion of our fellowmen to enter eternity with-
out a chance to be saved? We must reach these 2 billion people with the gospel of
Jesus Christ as quickly as possible! How much time do we have? We don’t know for
sure. It could be 1 year. It could be 3 or 4. But we know we don’t have long.

   None of us can accomplish a huge task like this alone.
                 But together we can do it!

    Many have statedthat 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 bat- tle 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 chan- nel 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 num- ber 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 estab- lish 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. Coincidence or Divine Providence? Is it coincidental that all of these major prophecies pertaining to the last times are being fulfilled simultane- ously? Source: Endtime Magazine, P.O.

In addition to touring United Nations Headquarters in New York and six days in Israel, Prophecy Tour 2006 will be topped off with a tour through northern Europe’s Holy Roman Empire territory. Experience Israel through the eyes of Irvin Baxter Jr. as he leads you to the Mount of Olives, Temple Mount, Masada, Dead Sea, Sea of Galilee, and much, much more.

The tour continues in Brussels, Belgium where we will go behind the scenes at the EU Headquarters. The itinerary and cost are still being finalized at press time. The tour will likely be for 12 days in early May and cost less than $3,000. To be among the first to receive information once the itiner- ary is finalized, call 1-800-Endtime and ask for Mary Beth.

Pray for those in government. “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” (II Chronicles 7:14) 2. Send this article to each of your Senators and Representatives. 3. Demand the repeal of this enslaving legislation. Make it a litmus test in your next election—and every election thereafter. Demand that each candidate state publicly that he will fight the National ID. If a candidate won’t do this, vote against him. If he says he will do it, but then doesn’t after being elected, vote him out in the next election’s primaries.

    World Government— World Relgion Endtime analyzes interview with Maurice Strong BY IRVIN BAXTER JR. The real power of the United Nations lies with the UN Security Part 3 Council. The Security Council can pass resolutions concerning any nation or situation on earth. It can place a nation under economic sanc- tions to produce pressure on that nation to bow its knee to the edicts of the UN. It can decide that the world community should attack a nation, replace its government and even place its leadership on trial before the World Court. A recent example of this course of action was the invasion of Yugoslavia and the ongoing trial of Slobodan Milosevic. The Security Council consists of five permanent members and ten Courtesy of Corbin Runnels rotating members. The five perma- nent members (Great Britain, U.S., France, Russia and China) all have veto power over all Security Council resolutions.

Javier Solana, with his dual power of attorney from the European Union and ten-nation Western European Union, would be solely in charge. There were three major items on the agenda, which were summa- rized by Reuters as follows: G Battling religious fundamentaism –worldwide; G Favorable trading terms for the partners in the Mediterranean basin; G Get the U.S. out of the Mediterranean and/or greatly reduce its presence there. Twenty-seven nations were to be in attendance. The participants were clearly from an area paralleling the old Roman Empire. The only Mediterranean nation that would not be part of the proceedings was Libya. It seems that, only a few days earlier, Muammar Khaddafy had screamed at a gathering of Arab League nations, “What’s the matter with you idiots?

    >> WORLDRELIGION CardinalJoseph Ratzinger from Germany. The name he chose for his papacy?…Pope Benedict XVI. St. Malachy referred to the 112th and last pope as Petrus Romanus, or Peter the Roman. Listen to the words of Malachy: “In extreme persecution, the seat of the Holy Roman Church will be occupied by Peter the Roman, who will lead his sheep through many tribulations, at the end of which the city of seven hills shall be destroyed, and the dreadful Judge shall judge the people.” The Eternal City is not eternal Besides being known as The City of Seven Hills, Rome has also proud- ly worn the title of The Eternal City. St. Malachy prophesied that Rome would be destroyed during the reign of the next pope. More importantly, the Bible prophesies the destruction of Rome in the very near future and states that Rome shall be no more. It can be proven conclusively in scripture that Rome is the Mystery Babylon of the book of Revelation.

    2005 may be the greatest year of prophetic fulfillment since the crucifixion. Confirmation of the Covenant…......The Bible prophesies that the International Community will confirm a covenant with Israel concerning the status of the Holy Land and the status of Jerusalem. When this covenant is confirmed it will mark the beginning of the final seven years to Armageddon. The Roadmap for Peace is an international covenant concerning the status of the Holy Land and the status of Jerusalem. This international peace plan has been presented to Israel and the Palestinians and has been accepted by both. It appears that all the pieces to the Middle East puzzle may well converge in 2005! RFID and the Mark of the Beast……… As of December 31, 2004, Wal-Mart is requiring all its vendors to have RFID tagging on all pallets that come across its loading docks. This is the first huge step in the plan for every item manufactured on earth to be embedded with an RFID chip less than the size of a grain of sand. The embedded RFID chip is projected to replace the bar codes that are presently found on almost all items. When RFID technology is fully implemented, it will allow the tracking of everything, everywhere. In 2004, an RFID chip implanted under the skin was used for cashless financial transactions for the first time. This new technology is getting way too close to the biblical Mark of the Beast!! Death from the Euphrates………Revelation 9:13-16 clearly prophesies that a war will begin in the area of the Euphrates River that will kill one- third of mankind. Most of the Euphrates River is in the nation of Iraq. The U.S. has 150,000 troops in Iraq at this present time. North Korea claims to have several nuclear weapons. Iran seems determined to acquire nuclear capability. The War on Terror is spreading, not reaching a conclusion. We could very well be in the beginning of this war prophesied to kill 2 billion human beings. We must Reach 2 Billion as Fast as Possible.……The question is not: “Will one-third of mankind die?” Or “Will the confirmation of the covenant happen?” Or “Will there really be a mark of the beast?” The only question is: “When?” Can we sit by, allowing 2 billion of our fellowmen to enter eternity with- out a chance to be saved? We must reach these 2 billion people with the gospel of Jesus Christ as quickly as possible! How much time do we have? We don’t know for sure. It could be 1 year. It could be 3 or 4. But we know we don’t have long. None of us can accomplish a huge task like this alone. But together we can do it! Would you partner with Endtime Ministries in 2005?
