God created the heaven and earth, and all living things.
God created man (Adam and Eve)
God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die .
The serpent said to the woman, “ You will not surely die . For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”
From then on1 + 1 = (what ever your heart wanted to be)
2 + 2 = (there is no absolute)
3 + 3 = (666, Satan now own you)
Christ died on the cross to pay back for your ownership to God. All you have to do is to believe in Him whom He sent.” John 6:29. Your citizenship is now in heaven. Your past present, and future sins are all paid in full .
What you got to loose? EVERLASTHING LIFE!
Been there, done that.

Subject : endtimes poem
Two thousand years ago in Bethlehem, the King of Kings was born;
the prophet’s spoke of His coming, they tried desperately to forewarn.
Many knew that He was coming, they waited with expectation;
Men of God like Simeon, who cried “Mine eyes have seen thy Salvation”
Wisdom in His youth, His words were far from simple;
He revealed secrets to the masters, and unlocked mysteries in the temple.
The aged arose and stood, when through the door He came walking;
the nobles held their peace, and the princes refrained from talking.
He was eyes to the blind, and feet was He to the lame;
after He spoke teachers kept their silence, and lowered their heads in shame.
With healing in His wings, Malachi said He would appear;
the lady with the issue of blood knew this, when she touched His garment in fear.
The Scriptures proclaim with certainty, He would cause the widow to sing for joy;
and then that is what happened, when His voice touched the ears of her dead boy.
The elders departed from Him, as He wrote their names in the street;
they would later shout “crucify Him, pierce His hands and His feet”
The prophets spoke of how the ear would hear Him, and with sight the eye would see;
they said He would be beaten, and then nailed fiercely to a tree.
They parted His garments among them, and cast lots for His vesture;
and yet He did nothing to deserve such treatment, for the Father was His pleasure.
The angels proclaimed to the women, “Why do you seek the living among the dead”;
He had risen on the third day, and left an empty tomb and bed.
How could many have been so blind, to have not known He was the King,
after all that had been fulfilled, they had witnessed everything.
Now it is two thousand years later, a time that was precisely foretold;
and again people are unbelieving, the love of many has grown cold.
Rather than lovers of God, people have become lovers of pleasure;
with their lips they worship the Lord, but with their hearts they seek after treasure.
Earthquakes in divers places, wars and rumors of wars abound;
nation rising against nation, violence all around.
The bees are disappearing, disease is killing the wheat;
the seas and the waves are roaring, famine because of the heat.
Sexual sin in America, is hideously now common place;
they have chosen the way of evil, and to spit in Gods face.
The young have no clue to what is happening, as the hail begins to pound;
disobedient to parents, the vulgarity on their radios sound.
Mother is turning against daughter, and a father against his son;
a mans enemies are of his own household, because of Christ they want none.
From the truth people are turning, and accepting of every lie;
they no longer adhere to the gospel, the truth does not enter their eye.
They say that our climate is changing, in fear of it falling apart;
no understanding of the Bible, that God declared these things from the start.
With the internet came information, and cars put a stop to slow;
the prophet Daniel said in the last days, knowledge shall increase and men shall run to and fro.
Many are the teachers today, who are blind to what is taking place;
they have no knowledge of Scripture, discernment has vanished with no trace.
Determined to hold back the tide, scrambling to change its course;
when the Bible states very clearly, evil men shall wax worse and worse.
Many say I don’t want to hear it, and from the Scriptures they will run;
they are really saying I don’t believe it, and that I am having too much fun.
All that is happening has been written, it certainly has been foretold;
pick up the Bible and study, remember the days of old.
Jesus said when these things begin to happen, to know He is at the door;
I can see the doorknob turning, I see the shadow of His feet on the floor!

Subject : to J. Cameron in defense of christianity
Hello,
I wrote this as a poetic defense of my/our faith in regards to the Cameron Documentary...please post this for your readers.....:
Satan's Plan
He fell from heav'n like a bolt
filled with decietfulness and guile
running to and fro' upon the earth
seeking anyone to defile
He is the father of all lies
a murderer to the end
He gets one to believe in him
Starts out as your "friend"
From the beginning, Satan lied
He schemed, he plotted, he planned
to fool mankind into thinking
that he could be like God
He said to Eve In the Garden of Eden
while slithering thru the Tree
Eat of this fruit, just taste and see
like the most high, yet you will be
People stood by and watched and jeered
as Noah built his boat
convinced that he was a lunatic
until it began to float
He even tried to temp our Lord
with wealth and earthly gain
The Lord rebuked him with strong commands
then Satan went away
Now he's at it once again,
trying to decieve
In the name of science he says
"this time they'll believe"
He says "There was no resurrection
This you'll see, I've been saying this all along
Just watch the TV"
But remember, in these last days
lest you fall into temptaion
don't let your ears be tickled
with an end time deception
Please read this poem and heed it's words
keep watch and always pray
that you'll be ready for any lie
that Satan sends your way
Keep your faith in the Lord
not looking left or right
trust in him at all times
keep up the good fight!
May God be praised!

Subject : Who came first?
The science community prides itself for the accuracy of the atomic clock. They claim that the earth does not revolve on itself in exactly 24 hrs.
What came first? Is it the rotation of the earth or the rotation of a watch needle? Is it God creation or man creation?
Who came first? Jesus or Mohammed? Jesus, Son of God who draw His own blood for the salvation of all man and who warned about false prophets that will follow him or Mohammed who draw blood from man opposing him and declaring that Jesus was a prophet? To recognise important keys in understand Biblical prophecy:
1. Jesus first coming was not to establish a new religion; it was to pay for our penalty of our sins, and also to announce the soon coming of His Kingdom, a new government with a new politic and economy.
2. Israel is still God chosen people. They have the responsibility to represent God government here one earth. They failed this task in the past but God promise that they will succeed in the near future. Ezekiel 36:24-27 3. The body of Christ (The Church) and Israel have their purpose in the fulfilment of prophecies. The Church commission is to spread the gospel of salvation to Jews and Gentiles and to preach the Kingdom of God (Christ return) to all nations as a witness. It is not commissioned to convert the whole world.
Matthew 24:37. As were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of man.
Head up, The Son of God is about to return.

The translation of "allah akbar" that you and 99% of media use is incorrect. It means "allah is greater" ! Mohammed created a god greater than the god of the Jews and Christians because they rejected him as a prophet. I believe you will find "allah tamir" means god is great. It is a hateful saying and a direct assault on Christians and Jews-"The People of the Book" . Check it out .

Subject: Road signs that have past
I'm not sure what you will do with this email, where you may post or make reference to it, if at all, but I appreciate the effort placed into creating a site dedicated for the believer, that allows him to make his own judgment on the Signs of the End, and the fulfillment thereof. It is my hope that the reader understands what is being said here, and so, toward that goal, I would like to give this analogy:
You, the bride, have been invited to a wedding ceremony in a city called Salem, it's about a 2 day drive from where you were. The groom has left some driving directions for you, detailing what road signs to look for before the highway exit you must take to get to him at the wedding chapel. He himself however does not know the exit number, because the priest that will marry you has kept it to Himself, to test You. Now, you've been driving for 2 days, and along the way, were given additional signs to look for, but NOT by any friend of the groom. You were told to look for a bright neon sign, after which, you would drive for another 7 minutes, and will come to your exit. The drive has been incredibly tiring, you are half asleep, and it is hard to read the road signs because of heavy fog, however, you don't worry much about the signs you've missed, because you are expecting that you should be able to see a bright neon sign even in the fog.
Brothers and sisters in Christ, I urge you, in order that you not be one of the five foolish virgins who were unprepared to meet their Groom, do not wait for a bright neon sign before you start to prep up your hair, powder your lips, and make yourself ready to meet Him. The sign given was not by a friend of the Groom, and like most, you may have ALREADY missed some of the signs that read, '7 miles to Salem', '6 miles to Salem', '5 miles to Salem', etc., because they were obscured by fog. Remember, the enemy we have is no fool; he has managed to corrupt a third of The Almighty's host of angels, as well as mankind. Take heed then unto our Master's warnings in Matthew 24:14 - "For there shall arise false christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect."
Christ had commanded His apostles to be one, yet today we have denominations. Whom do you suppose is the author of such division in the Body of Christ? And unless you think that Satan has some level of respect for End-Time Prophecy, you should realize by now that this same cunning enemy that has caused division in doctrine, has also given us false signs to look for, in order that we say to ourselves, "the Groom tarries". Rather than expect an antichrist, a third temple, or a tribulation period, you REALLY need to be prepping your hair, powdering your lips, and making yourself ready for the exit that is approaching fast, because the last sign you just passed on the road read, "Salem, NEXT exit".

Subject: Treasures on Earth
It is so good to see some good web sights that are not afraid, don't dance around the subject and at the same time present some various views(all within scriptural contexts). So be encouraged dear brothers and sisters.
One comment I would like to express, and, maybe you have other views on the subjet, is the sickening level of selfish, building up of treasure on earth doctrines that are running like a plague across just about every church that I have been to whilst trying to find a 'home' church for my self and family, since moving to town. I go with the expectant joy of meeting brothers and sisters in Christ, sing and praise my savior and God, worship he who sits on the great throne, who came to earth, who guides me and speaks to me (The Father, The Son, The Holy Spirit- three in one), partake in communion (seems to be a great lack of sincerity-'gotta keep an eye on the mornings schedule!!!) to get to offering time to be told that in order to "be blessed" I must recite a whole list of 'claims and promises' and yell with glee that its offering time (sounds a bit like a parable of a bloke in the temple to me) so much for what must be done in reverence, humbleness and secrecy.
Now it's time for the preaching and it seems it's another week where I am 'encouraged' to stand on the word and claim the promises of prosperity, blessing, abundance and...well you know how it goes.....somewhere along the line my joy left me and just when I can no longer keep pretending to be in agreement it's time for prayer.
"So who wants prayer for their needs? financial needs, money, house or healing (funny...not!, but I thought the first three were the same and the fourth should have been mentioned first, with, the faith to see real results and may be some convictions, souls saved etc, etc). So with great heaviness of heart I left. (Lord. I pray do not allow me to become bitter and unforgiving) but with decerning judgement (Oh brother, your not to judge your fellow man. Some would say..RUBBISH, get some context back into Gods Holy Word)
THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG DEAR BROTHERS WHEN A BELIEVER LEAVES CHURCH ON SUNDAY MORNING SADDER THAN WHEN HE WENT IN. From my perspective I suspect this situation has to be among the 'TOP 10' candidates for 'THE DELUSION'.
I guess if we had to go through The Church to get to God then we would be in dire straights (though some have convinced 'THEIR? flock that this is so).
The worse part is, that this story is true and I am fast running out of pentecostal, charismatic, (and fringe dwellers inc') churches in my whole area. So what do I do? has been my request to my Lord, he has the answer (and has known that I would ask it when he was putting the earth together). So I shall continue to trust and obey (& listen more closely) until I locate the pasture he has for me and try to be humble in the process. I know I'm not the only one feeling this way (Thank our Lord). The problem I do have is the thinly veiled disease of treasure building on this earth that is going to burn anyway! (any other readers that wonder about that, read your bible- try the last couple of chapters at the back).
We should remember that many of God's people are in this or much worse situations. So why are we chasing after houses, newer cars, lastest syles and fashions, it just seems to me that we may have forgotten that to be friends with the world, pleasing man is just our own fear of rejection of man. (and SIN) STAND UP FOR JESUS for your own sake.
See you in the crowd before the throne.

Dear brother in Christ,
There is an article posted on "Weekend News" that show a new trend in Europe. I am not sure if you have seen it, but I wanted to bring it to your attendtion. It unfortunately shows that the EU is developing into a totalitarian government. The article reminds me at the "Third Reich" and the DDR.
Source: London Telegraph
Wed Mar 7,2001 -- The European Court of Justice ruled yesterday that the European Union can lawfully suppress political criticism of its institutions and of leading figures, sweeping aside English Common Law and 50 years of European precedents on civil liberties. The EU's top court found that the European Commission was entitled to sack Bernard Connolly, a British economist dismissed in 1995 for writing a critique of European monetary integration entitled The Rotten Heart of Europe. The ruling stated that the commission could restrict dissent in order to "protect the rights of others" and punish individuals who "damaged the institution's image and reputation". The case has wider implications for free speech that could extend to EU citizens who do not work for the Brussels bureaucracy.
The court called the Connolly book "aggressive, derogatory and insulting", taking particular umbrage at the author's suggestion that Economic and Monetary Union was a threat to democracy, freedom and "ultimately peace". However, it dropped an argument put forward three months ago by the advocate-general, Damaso Ruiz-Jarabo Colomer, which implied that Mr Connolly's criticism of the EU was akin to extreme blasphemy, and therefore not protected speech. Mr Connolly, who has been told to pay the European Commission's legal costs, said the proceedings did not amount to a fair hearing. He said: "We're back to the Star Chamber and Acts of Attainder: the rights of defendants are not expected or guaranteed in any way; the offence of seditious libel has been resurrected."

I would like to announce this site, "Restoring the Vision of the End Times Church", www.restoringthevision.com which deals with rapture timing as a spin-off of God's greater purposes in creating His church as outlined in Ephesians 3:8-12.
His eternal purpose in Christ Jesus and the reason for which He created all things as stated in these verses is to demonstrate His wisdom through the church to the powers and authorities in the heavenly places. We have often taught rapture timing as an end in itself when it is rather a function of God's greater purposes for His church. Jesus taught that He would be with us until the end of the age and that we should plan to endure to the end.
Much of what I see in the book of Revelation is the demonstration of the wisdom of God in the form of the cross demonstrated through the church in the very midst of the persecution of the antichrist system. We are at war. The final battle will be fought during the last three and one-half years of the age between the fully empowered church and the devil's champion in the form of the antichrist. This battle is crucial in God's plan to demonstrate His wisdom through the church. If we keep that in mind, rapture timing will become more obvious. Thanks for the opportunity to voice this view.
God bless you all.

JUDGEMENT OF BABYLON
By Roger Schneider
Listen O ye unfaithful, workers of iniquity,
For the time has come to fulfil the prophecy.
Fools are you who have walked your own path,
Daring even to be as gods, tempting my wrath.
In wickedness did you go reaping the rewards,
Of worldly treasures as lusting sinful hordes.
Pleasure you did take in the things I despised,
Giving glory to false idols that you had devised.
You did not believe when I said "I will return"
My truth and my wisdom you chose not to learn.
Did I not say to you "Follow me, I am the light"
A place in my kingdom did you forfeit outright.
I cast you in darkness, no more to know my love,
No peace shall ever come to unheard cries thereof.
Know this my rebel children, it was not my desire,
To see you led astray by that most deceitful liar.
It pains me greatly that you harkened not my voice,
Would an un-loving god have given you that choice?
Depart from me ye cursed ones.

Hello Brother in Christ,
I am seeing the signs of the times also, interestingly Satan is attacking the church by calling them intolerant so that they are branded bigots and alienated from the mainstream. The great "Falling Away" spoken of in the bible is now upon us or very close. I see the world going one direction more and more wicked until they are so far away from we christians that we will be marginalized. We, "God's people" are to be separate from the world anyway, but soon it will be much more noticeable due to the world's headlong plunge into further rebellion.
False christians currently sprinkled throughout churches all over the world, will follow the Satanic inspired movement further into sin as soon as any real persecution starts. This persecution now more prevalent in other countries than the U.S. will set up the world for God's judgment by separating the "Wheat from the Tares". The bible states that Satan will defeat the power of the holy people, I imagine that it will seem like we christians are losing the war for planet earth right before Jesus returns. The bad headlines don't get me down, I know it has to happen before the Lord returns. The book of Isaiah puts this event very beautifully, I love God's word! Isaiah chapter 2 this is the same story as Revelation, Psalm 79 1-4, Psalm 97 1-5, whole book of Jeremiah and the false gospels that satan propagates mentioned also in Jeremiah 23 verse 15, The entire book of Amos speaks about Judgment day also, Here God uses types and figures to represent the world at the time of the end. Keep on keeping on brother!
May God Bless you,
You brother in Christ Jim Gillgam

Food for thought......
Whoa! With all the gangs and the increasing violence in our schools, what in the world is happening with our kids today?
Let's see...I think it started when Madeline Murray O'Hare complained that she didn't want any prayer in our schools, and we said OK.
Then someone said you had better not read the Bible in school. The Bible that says thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal, and love your neighbor as yourself. And we said, OK.
Dr. Benjamin Spock said we shouldn't spank our children when they misbehave because their little personalities would be warped and we might damage their self-esteem. And we said, an expert should know what he's talking about so we won't spank them anymore.
Then someone said that teachers and principals better not discipline our children when they misbehave. And the school administrators said no faculty member in this school better touch a student when they misbehave because we don't want any bad publicity, and we surely don't want to be sued. And we accepted their reasoning.
Then someone said, let's let our daughters have abortions if they want and they won't even have to tell their parents. And we said, that's a grand idea.
Then some wise school board member said, since boys will be boys and they're going to "do it" anyway, let's give our sons all the condoms they want, so they can have all the "fun" they desire, and we won't have to tell their parents they got them at school. And we said, that's another great idea .
And then some of our top elected officials said that it doesn't matter what we do in private as long as we do our jobs. And agreeing with them, we said it doesn't matter to me what anyone, including the President, does in private as long as I have a job and the economy is good.
And then someone said let's print magazines with pictures of nude women and call it wholesome down-to-earth appreciation for the beauty of the female body. And we said we have no problem with that.
And someone else took that appreciation a step further and published pictures of nude children and then stepped further still by making them available on the internet. And we said they're entitled to their free speech.
And the entertainment industry said, let's make TV shows and movies that promote profanity, violence, and illicit sex. And let's record music that encourages homosexuality, rape, drugs, murder, suicide, and satanic themes. And we said it's just entertainment and has no adverse effect and nobody takes it seriously anyway so go right ahead
Therefore, now we're asking ourselves why our children have no conscience, why they don't know right from wrong, and why it doesn't bother them to kill strangers, their classmates, and themselves.
Probably, if we think about it long and hard enough, we can figure it out. I think it has a great deal to do with... "we reap what we sow."

What you say is very well put....We need to get our house in order. It seems that most Christians have lost their focus and what Christianity is all about. God put everything from before the foundations of the earth into an old wooden cross.
His only begotten Son, The Son of God, born upon this earth,IN THE FLESH between God and a virgin girl named Mary. This precious Son, whose BLOOD was pure and Holy as God himself, was beaten, spit upon, ridiculed, lied about, His beard pulled out, thorns crammed down over His head, spikes hammered through His hands and feet fastening Him to a wooden cross. Big, tough, Roman soldiers then tried to give him vinegar (gall) to drink and jammed a spear into His side letting the blood and water pour out. This pure, precious, holy BLOOD (The scriptures say that the LIFE if in the BLOOD) that was poured out that day was and is the BLOOD that cleanses man from sin. ( ALL SIN ) God focused everything before that day upon His Son crucified on that cross and He focuses everything since that day upon that same cross. As Christians we have one mission and that is to tell others how to get saved by that BLOOD. There is no remission of sin without the shedding of BLOOD and there is no other name given under heaven whereby man can be saved, other than, The name of JESUS. When the casket lid snaps shut there is only one question. Did that person go to Heaven or did they go to hell? NOTHING else matters......When the richest most famous die or when the most down and out forgotten die...it is still the same question.
Christian....You want to be blessed, you want to have joy, you want to be watching when Jesus returns, you want peace, just what do you want? You will have all these things when you give up YOUR life and start telling others (the lost and dying, going to hell) how to be saved. Think about what this is saying to you. There is NOTHING more important......There is nothing more important to GOD....There is NO-THING more important than telling someone about JESUS....Getting others saved........Jesus told us to lay up for ourselves treasures in heaven (not upon this earth) and the only thing that will be in heaven that we will have there is OTHERS who are saved.....Folks...It's time....it's time....THE TIME IS SOONER THAN YOU THINK......If you are CHRISTIAN then start today to tell someone else about our precious Lord and Saviour....YOU WILL BE BLESSED...Even the angels in heaven rejoice when someone is saved...Nothing pleases God more than when one of His precious people accept His Son. His favorite song of all is the song of the redeemed.
GO YE INTO ALL THE WORLD AND PREACH THE GOSPEL. THOSE WHO BELIEVE AND ARE BAPTIZED WILL BE SAVED. THOSE WHO WILL NOT (BELIEVE) ARE DAMNED ALREADY. Those are some of the last words Jesus said before He ascended into heaven. Christian, all the world is the world right around you, your friends, relatives, people you do business with, ALL THE WORLD (YOUR WORLD). Start to tell someone about Jesus today...The Holy Spirit will help you..Get ready for the APOCALYPSE....Tell someone about Jesus.

Genesis 11:1-6
Now the whole world had one language and a common speech. As men moved eastward, they found a plain in Shinar and settled there. They said to each other, "Come, let's make bricks and bake them thoroughly." They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar. Then they said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves and not be scattered over the face of the whole earth." But the LORD came down to see the city and the tower that the men were building. The LORD said, "If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them.
Psalms 139:14
I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
Genesis 3:1-5
Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, "Did God really say, `You must not eat from any tree in the garden'?" The woman said to the serpent, "We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, but God did say, `You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.'" "You will not surely die," the serpent said to the woman. "For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you shall be as gods, knowing good and evil."
God destroyed the tower of Babel and confused the speech of the people because if He didn't, then NOTHING would be impossible to man. Well, it only took about 6,000 years, but now with computers we have one speech and again nothing is impossible to us. Just think, if you harvest an egg from an aborted fetus, then take some cells from the fetus' father. You could have a child who's mother was never born and the child's father would also be his grandfather. Better yet, get some DNA off the Shroud of Turin, (assuming it IS the burial cloth of Christ) and we can clone Jesus, have a virgin birth, and reincarnate (clone) people. Wow, we are gods…

Subject: WWW = 666
In Hebrew, the letter W is most closely approximated by the letter VAV. This is sometimes seen in the transliteration of the tetragrammaton as YHWH. In ancient times, VAV was pronounced as our W. This is where the transliteration of YHWH becomes Yahweh. VAV is the sixth letter of the Hebrew aleph-bet, and hence has the numerical value of six. Therefore, the worldwide web appreviation, WWW, becomes 666. However, this is NOT to be confused with the antichrist, because 666 in this case is the "number of a man's name." The Greek gives this number as six-hundred sixty-six, NOT six, six, six. Also, since the worldwide web is not a man, this cannot apply. The WWW can, possibly, be considered, in some aspects, to be 'against the Christ,' but it could only be considered THE antichrist if The antichrist controlled it completely.
So, basically, in answer to your question, www in Hebrew does stand for 6, 6, 6, but NOT six-hundred sixty-six.
Peace to you in the name of the Messiah of Israel, Yeshua.

If you look at a Universal UPC, you can see that all the bars (those lines) have #'s underthem, and all of them are eather set's of 2 or 3 bars,....BUT the first two bars, the last two bars and the two bars in the very middle do not have #'s under them, these 3 set's of 2 skiny bars is the code for the number 6, (look at a bar code with a #6 writen below it, and look at the form of the bars, it will match the FORM of the bars for the begining, middle, and end). so alla hidden by theme selves is three seperated but seperated not, 6's for 666. also arn't bar's or lines also called scores?
so this 666 happens to come in 3 SCORES? (six hundred 3 SCORE and six) just thought it interesting that score ment both 20 and a "mark or Line".

This letter came (encrypted) from a missionary stationed in Indonesia to a church in Dallas which supports them. Let's join them in prayer for this situation and pass this along to those who will pray.
June 18, 1998
Greetings from Indonesia,
We thank God because of your faith and love in the Lord Jesus Christ. As we read FBCD Sunday bulletins our hearts rejoice with you - the victories and also challenges. We pray the Good Lord prospers the Church beyond human limitations.
Indonesia is facing an unprecedented critical and dangerous turn at this very moment. As you probably watch in the World News or CNN. A revolution is going on. The sudden economic collapse. The political turbulence unending. And the riots with killings, lootings, and rapings are stalking the minority groups here (Christians and Chinese).
Millions lost their jobs. Inflation is speeding like a bullet. More than half of our 220 million people are living under the poverty line. Extremists are doing the best they can to politicize the situation. Hence the atmosphere is just like a time bomb nearing the explosion point. Hundreds of churches have been destroyed. Tens of thousands of mainly Chinese businesses have been looted, burned, and destroyed.
The saddest thing that happened during the May 13 and 14 destructions is the raping of Chinese women (mostly Christians). For example, a ten year old girl was raped from behind and front - in public. Her mom took her to the hospital. And the daughter died in her arms. A teenage girl was raped - in public. She, then, cut her wrist, wrote her mom a note that she was ashamed to live. Then committed suicide. Scores of mothers committed suicide after learning their daughters were raped. One lady shared with an Australian radio: she saw a Chinese girl was burned alive in her car. At the same time two were raped in public and then thrown into the fire. Another case: The mob entered a 26 story apartment in Jakarta. Looting and destroying from the first to the 26th floor. Upon exiting, they undressed, sexually assaulted and raped women they met.
The jealousy, envy, and hatred are unbridled and unchecked by law. The mob is not satisfied by looting and smashing properties, they burn and destroy; they are not content hurting people physically, they have torn open our chests and trampled our hearts by raping, even our kids. People stop asking God "Why?", and started to ask "How long?" As far as our context is concerned, it will be terribly long and no sign of stopping unless by God's miraculous intervention or Christ should come back.
Some Christians today are meeting not only to pray and to study the Word, but also to prepare should the worst (which is yet to come) befall. Last year, during the riots and destruction of churches and stores we were scared and sometimes hid ourselves. Now most are preparing to withstand the powers of evil. We cry for our wives and daughters. They (I dare not mention their religion) even raped a six year old girl. IN PUBLIC. Hell has broken loose upon God's people in Indonesia at this time. Countless are suffering physically. All are violated and hurt emotionally and psychologically.
My wife, Caroline meets with some ladies regularly. And some are asking the Lord to come back right now. Some, even asked my wife to go to the States for safety. We have no refuge but the Lord Himself. We are afraid to go to public places. Even we are fearful when our kids are in schools. Yet people need Jesus, even more at this fearful moment. And this we are called to do in the power of the Holy Spirit.
Yet, as I look at my three daughters, Irene (12), Stephanie (8) andRachel (5), I cannot help but shed some tears in praying for them. The road for them is long, hard, and dangerous. I mean terribly dangerous for them. Because hatred is being propagated and destruction (physical and psychological) tolerated and no one is being punished for fear of the majority's disapproval and revenge. In peaceful times we rarely think of heaven. Much less about hell. But even the sceptics here are talking about the reality of hell. In short, our lives, and the lives of our kids are in literal danger day by day.
Please uphold us in your prayers. Write us if you can. Soon basic necessities of life will disappear; and even now are skyrocketing. The only thing that is growing faster is politics and the accumulation of lies upon lies. We are choked full of lies and our spirits cannot breathe. We can find comfort in the fellowship of true saints. And we can only keep looking above where our help would come. Please pray for our safety. And the continuation of our ministries, though we have to rethink our strategies. But the message remains the same. Because it is the solution to our problems here and problems elsewhere.
Thank you for caring and sharing.
In Christ Victorious

The Revelation Mysteries: A Complete Study On End-Time Prophecy
What does the future hold for mankind? Will the world end in a series of catastrophic events triggered by mankind? Or will man transcend his present state of consciousness and eventually cure all the world's ills?
Steven Williams, author of the new book The Revelation Mysteries: A Complete Study On End Time Prophecy, chronicles world events from a solid biblical perspective.
After outlining several important biblical principles key to the understanding of end-time prophecy, the author turns to The Book of Daniel, and explains each end-time event in strong every day language. He then turns to the book of Revelation, the last book of the Bible, and describes each apocalyptic event in clear and definable terms. He takes the reader on a verse by verse journey through each chapter, and describes each event in an explicit and detailed manner.
The author maintains a clear focus on the Word of God, and provides the reader with an index of over 1,600 scriptures. In addition, The Revelation Mysteries contains many historical references, and over 45 maps, charts, tables, and illustrations designed to clarify many important end-time events. The Revelation Mysteries is chock-full of information, and will become a constant resource for any one studying end-time prophecy.
The author also examines several other end-time prophecies found in the Bible. Some of these prophecies include the prophecies of Habakkuk, Isaiah, Zechariah, and Amos — and there's more. Throughout the book the author takes a close look at both the Hebrew and Greek scriptures, and gives the reader a comprehensive look at each end-time event by highlighting key Greek and Hebrew words and examining their meaning.
Moreover, the author puts forth scripture after scripture, prophecy after prophecy, and links them to give the reader a complete study of end-time events. This book is a one of a kind resource for anyone interested in end- time prophecy.

Subject: Subcutaneous implants
Date: Fri, 3 Jul 1998 08:02:21 -0400
About 2 weeks ago I had to undergo another (4th) surgery for my back. To give you some background, I had an accident in 1995 and ruptured a disk in my back. Well to make a long story short, after my 2nd surgery to remove 2 disks and fuse my back with bone and metal rods, I developed an infection at the base of my spine at the nerve bundle which caused all of the nerves at the base of my spine, to be clumpted together and pinched off. Mostly they have treated me with heavy pain medications until about 1 month ago, when my doctor decided that I would benefit from a spinal cord stimulator, which would bypass the pain signal to the brain and instead of pain in my legs it would be a numb feeling. Of course after 31/2 years of terrible pain I jumped at the chance to get almost total relief.
Well, 2 weeks ago they did the implant surgery. Which consists of a lead that lays on the spinal cord, and a subcutaneous implanted generator!! Approximately, every 3 to 5 years this has to be replaced, the generator, because it has a battery that runs it and of course eventually batteries run out. This generator can be accessed by a hand held computer device that when placed over the generator tells the programmer (through the computer) what limits are set, what I have the amplitude at (the amount of stimulation) and other things pertaining to the implant, including the number of hours I have used it since I last saw the doctor.
As far as I know, the battery will not rupture. So the technology for subcutaneous implants for identification purposes are already developed. As for the size of the implants, that maybe the only obstacle standing in the way of instituting the mark, and of course God's timetable. I thought that this would interest you. Before I was told of this spinal cord implant, I thought that a battery would more than likely rupture when placed subcutaneously, as you can see this is not the case! We are much closer than anyone might imagine.

I find it breath-taking that people around this planet are coming to the same conclusions independantly of one another. Bible scriptures that made little sense or had to be stretched to fit an interpertation when I was a young boy now jump out with obvious meanings...Recently after "thinking" and rereading passages in the Bible that I had read many times it hit me like a beam of light. The 2 witnesses will be Enoch and Elijah. I was stunned to read this projection on your web sight , which I had never seen before. I believe the Holy Spirit is lifting this veil, allowing us to understand what could not be understood by us in the recent past. Many questions still loom, but the answers will be of no consequence to those that follow the Savior of the world.

THE 23RD CHANNEL
The TV is my shepherd, I shall want. It makes me lie down on the sofa. It leads me away from the scriptures. It destroys my soul. It leads me in the path of sex and violence, for the sponsor's sake. Yea, though I walk in the shadow of my Christian responsibilities, there will be no interruption, For the TV is with me. It's cable and remote, they control me. It prepares a commercial before me in the presence of worldliness; It anoints my head with Humanism, My coveting runneth over. Surely laziness and ignorance shall Follow me all days of my life: And I shall dwell in the house Watching TV forever.

Subject: Back to the Bible "Code"
From: Ken Marineau
In the article referenced above the following statement is made in point six. "Nor is there any hint in the Bible of any hidden code." When I began researching the Bible Code phenomenom, the first thing I thought of was the very question, is this indicated anywhere in the plain text of the Bible? I did come across one verse which I thought might be a hint of a secret code and I would like to have your thought on it. The verse in question is below.
Psa 139:14-16 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. {15} My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, {16} your eyes saw my unformed body. ALL THE DAYS ORDAINED FOR ME WERE WRITTEN IN YOUR BOOK BEFORE ONE OF THEM CAME TO BE.
What is the book referred to in the above verse? Could it be the hidden code of the Bible?
At this point I am skeptical about the validity of the Bible Code and I am basically in agreement with your position as indicated in the article. But I am not prepared as yet to totally write the code off because I don't think any of the arguements you presented absolutely prove the code is not valid. I think those who have the necessary skills should continue to look into it.
Thanking you in advance for your comments on the above verse.

Would you consider abortion in the following 4 situations ?
1. There's a preacher and wife who are very, very, poor. They already have 14 kids. Now she finds out she's pregnant with 15th. They're living in tremendous poverty. Considering their poverty and the excessive world population, would you consider recommending she get an abortion?
2. The father is sick with sniffles, the mother has TB. They have 4 children. 1st is blind, 2nd is dead, 3rd is deaf, 4th has TB. She finds she's pregnant again. Given the extreme situation, would you consider recommending abortion?
3. A white man raped a 13 year old black girl and she got pregnant. If you were her parents, would you consider recommending abortion?
4. A teenage girl is pregnant. She's not married. Her fiance is not the father of the baby, and he's very upset. Would you consider recommending abortion?
(Scroll down)
In the first case, you have just killed John Wesley. One of the great evangelists in the 19th century.
In the second case, you have killed Beethoven.
In the third case, you have killed Ethel Waters, the great black gospel singer.
If you said yes to the fourth case, you have just declared the murder of Jesus Christ !!

Can you tell me what www stands for in the hebrew language. I was told it was 666. Is this true? Thank you.
The number "six" has many different meanings in many different cultures. The number 666 has also many identities. Some say it is symbolic of a Luciferic-controlled man, thought to be namely from Nero Caesar (Hebrew Neron as in 616 translation), Epiphanes, Napoleon, to a modern-day Pope (as in Latin, VICARIUS FILII DEI) "Vicar of the Son of God" (Hebrew Romith as in Rome), and Kabbalists calculate the number entirely different than others. Some scholars also refer to the number of 666 in reference to a modern Spanish (not named) king; and others claim it to a super-computer "the beast" of Rev. 13:18, that controls the world.
Six falls short of the Holy number of completion "7." Also, some early manuscripts read 616 instead of 666. Several transliterations and numerous opinions have been given in Hebrew for the number 666, which should be determined that its meaning is inconclusive. Although the number "666's" association with Rome has always been quite pronounced.
Your reference is most likely a modern-day translation referring to the "www" as the World Wide Web? Rev 13:18 ... calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. First, the name, secondly, then comes the Hebrew Transliteration, and thirdly, then the sum of the numeration. Gathering from Revelation 13, many scholars claim this man to be eventually very well-known, a powerful leader, a politician, charismatic, a Gentile, and anti-Jewish.
NOTE: Another interesting reference:
"And king Solomon gave unto the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatsoever she asked, beside that which Solomon gave her of his royal bounty. So she turned and went to her own country, she and her servants. Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred threescore and six talents of gold [666], beside that he had of the merchantmen, and of the traffick of the spice merchants, and of all the kings of Arabia, and of the governors of the country."Blessings to you...1 Kings 10:13-15
G-d has given the entire world as an evangelistic base for teaching of His grace, mercy, and salvation. The World Wide Web could also represent another tool for His use in reaching the lost. Perhaps, it is for those preaching the gospel, only a window of opportunity that eventually will be closed, but for now it can be a mighty tool to spread His Word.

In 1976 I traveled to Israel with a Christian organization to record the trip on film. While we were resting in Jericho I noticed that several vehicles had 666 on their car plates. I asked the guide why so many cars had this number and he replied that they were vehicles for tourist, based out of Jerusalem and could travel to restricted areas of Israel. Do you have any knowledge of this number on the car plates of cars based out of Jerusalem? Thanks for any information you might have.
