I just sat down, and actually READ ALL of this. (see newsletter below)
This is fascinating.

I'd like to add these verses to the
newsletter below.
20: Then shall stand up in his estate a raiser of taxes in the glory of the kingdom: but within few days he shall be destroyed, neither in anger, nor in battle.
21: And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries.
22: And with the arms of a flood shall they be overflown from before him, and shall be broken; yea, also the prince of the covenant.
23: And after the league made with him he shall work deceitfully: for he shall come up, and shall become strong with a small people.
24: He shall enter peaceably even upon the fattest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers' fathers; he shall scatter among them the prey, and spoil, and riches: yea, and he shall forecast his devices against the strong holds, even for a time.

and, then, down to this verse, which just now jumped out at me:
27: And both these kings' hearts shall be to do mischief, and they shall speak lies at one table; but it shall not prosper: for yet the end shall be at the time appointed.

But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;
4: Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.
5: For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
6: Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.
7: Be not ye therefore partakers with them.

A Woman Rides the Beast'
Prophecy - Signs
Jack Kinsella - Omega Letter Editor

According to the Bible, a confederation of nations will arise out of the
ashes
of the old Roman Empire. The Bible is rife with symbols and images
concerning
this confederation, its identity, its purpose and its ultimate destiny.

The prophet Daniel, writing some six hundred years before Rome rose to
power
the first time, outlined a succession of world empires; Babylon,
Medo-Persia,
Alexander the Great's Greek Empire, and finally, the Roman Empire.

Daniel identified the timeline in which Rome would reach the zenith of
its
power, which coincided exactly with the first century, linking it to the
Crucifixion and the destruction of the city of Jerusalem and the sacking
of the
Jewish Temple.

"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 desolations are determined." (Daniel 9:26)

In AD 70, Daniel's prophecy was literally fulfilled with the Roman
legions,
under future emporer Titus, destroyed Jerusalem, killed so many Jews
that
Josephus said the blood flowed to the depth of a horse's bridle, burned
the
Temple, dismantled it, stone by stone, and sent the surviving Jews into
exile.
Daniel's identification of Rome is gleaned from looking backwards
through
history at the characteristics of each empire as he described them in
his
interpretation of an image in Nebuchadnezzar's dream.

The image had two legs of iron and feet and toes of clay.

Shortly before its collapse, the Roman Empire had grown so large and
unwieldy
that it was split into two -- the western Empire of Rome and the Eastern
Empire, seating in what is today Ankara, Turkey.

At its heyday, the Western Empire consisted of 54 provinces that today
correspond to the nations of Western Europe. In looking at a map of
ancient
Rome, one finds the empire also extended eastward to the border with
Saudi
Arabia, taking in the near Middle East and south along the coast of
Africa.

It is fascinating to note that Secretary-General Javier Solana has
plans, via the EU's 'Mediterranean Neighborhood Program', to expand
precisely to those boundaries, offering those countries bordering the
Med limited membership in the Greater EU.

When political Rome collapsed, the spiritual empire was divided between
the
Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church. According to the
outline
of Scripture, political Rome and spiritual Rome will come together again
in the
last days to form a hybrid political-spiritual empire.

The 'Beast' (Revelation 13:1) is the political arm. The spiritual arm
will be
headed by the one the Apostle John calls the 'false prophet'.

The Apostle John gives important clues to the identity of each, clues
that,
until this generation, were hazy and vague, but are now undeniable,
crystal-clear and self-evident to any honest observer.

According to the Apostle John, the empire of the Beast will have seven
heads
and ten horns. Currently, the Group of Industrialized nations consists
of
Germany, France, Italy, Japan, the UK, the US and Canada.

After the Soviet Union collapsed, Bill Clinton insisted on bringing
Russia to
the table as an informal member, and the Group of Seven became the Group
of
Eight as a form of a thank you to then-president Boris Yeltsin.

It was a cosmetic addition -- the G7 forms the nucleus of the global
economic
system. When the G-7 finance ministers come together for their annual
meeting,
it is formally known as the "G-8 minus Russia."

The economic power remains in the hands of the G-7. Four of the G-7
members are
also members of the WEU and NATO, so it is no surprise that G-7 economic
policy
heavily favors the interests of the European Union's security arm, the
Western European Union.

The Apostle John notes that the beast will seize control of the global
economic system and will use its clout to assert and enforce its policies.

Out of that system will arise an individual leader who will be the
embodiment of the system of the Beast, in much the same way that Adolf Hitler
became the embodiment of the Third Reich.

"And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond,
to
receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no
man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast,
or the number of his name." (Revelation 13:16-17)

In 1999, Javier Solana became the High Representative for the EU's
foreign and
security policy, and through recommendation #666, he was given emergency
powers over the military wing of the EU in 2000.

Although the WEU is made up of more than 28 countries, there are only
ten full
members. All the rest hold lesser status as either 'associate',
observer' or
partner' countries.

Solana's post of uber-boss of both Europes was formalized under the
authority of the WEU's Recommendation 666. This has led many to
speculate that Solana is the antichrist. Solana heads the system that
will become the beast, but that isn't the same as being the embodiment
of it.

The prophecy of the Mark of the Beast is one of the most widely known in
the entire Bible. Countless fictional books and movies have used it as their
plot line. It has launched a particular fascination with what the 'number of
his name' is and how it fits together.

John writes, "Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the
number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six
hundred threescore and six." (v.18)

The Scripture doesn't identify a MAN as the beast, it identifies a
system that is jointly headed by a political and religious leader. John identifies
the marriage of the religious system with the political system using the
symbol of a woman riding upon a scarlet colored beast.

The engraving on the EU's euro and many of its official documents, like stamps, etc., depict Europa, a woman, riding on the back of Minos, a beast.

The harlot image is also in a huge painting in the EU Parliament's new
building in Brussels, and in a huge sculpture outside the new E.U.
Council of Ministers Office in Brussels.

The woman, according to John, is a false religion that has joined itself
to the
political system. John uses the symbols of a harlot "in purple and
scarlet
colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a
golden
cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
And
upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE
MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. And I saw the woman
drunken with the
blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and
when I saw
her, I wondered with great admiration." (Revelation 17:3-6)

Of the Beast, John was told by the revealing angel: "The beast that thou
sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and
go into
perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names
were not
written in the book of life (Christians will

see the beast, and will be the ONLY ones

who will NOT be decieved when they see the beast!!)

from the foundation of the world, when they
behold
the beast that was, and is not, and yet is." (17:8)

The Roman Empire was, and is not, and yet is, in the sense that the
Roman
Empire was both a religion and a political entity, until political Rome
fell.
But spiritual Rome endured.
John says that they will merge again in the last days, but only briefly.

But in the end, the political beast will consume the harlot completely;
And
"the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the
whore, and
shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her
with
fire."

John identifies the harlot with "seven mountains, on which the woman
sitteth"
-- a clear indication of Rome, the 'City on Seven Hills' and, just to
make sure
the point isn't missed, again as "the woman which thou sawest is that
great
city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth." (17:16,18)

Within that political system a leader will arise who can be identified,
as John
says, by the number of a MAN, that number, of course, being 666.
Are you still with me?

We have a religious system whose history matches that of Papal Rome
throughout
the Dark Ages, together with a global economic system run by seven
heads, [G-7] that dictates policy for the ten horns [WEU
political-military] whose authority
is derived from the WEU's Recommendation 666.

But no political leader conforming to John's image of the political
beast
linked to a MAN who is identifiable by 'the number of his name', 666.

That is because he isn't here yet. But there is an empty seat awaiting
his
arrival. The Tower Building (so named after the Tower of Babel) houses
the
Fifth Parliament of Europe.

The legislative amphitheater is arranged in a hemicircle and has 679
seats,
each assigned to a particular lawmaker. For example, Seat 663 is
assigned to
Rep Souchet, 664 to Thomas-Mauro, 665 to Zizzener and 667 to Rep
Cappato.
In between Zizzner and Cappato is an empty seat, unallocated and
unfilled. Seat
666 has never been occupied.
But it will be.

"Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the
beast: for it is the NUMBER OF A MAN; and his number is 666."
(Revelation 13:18)
 
Wow, that is very interesting. It makes you stop and think. I don't fully understand alot of the end time stuff but I like to learn what I can.
 
Glad you liked it, von. I am real interested in exploring in depth, the prophecies of Daniel, about the end of days.
If you, or anyone else reading this, have insightful comments, on Daniel's vision, please post them here.

This part: a raiser of taxes --that could be ANY U.S. President, couldn't it?
ha ha!
Not trying to make light of it, but, I guess every country leader now raises taxes....what makes this one different enough to be mentioned specifically as a raiser of taxes?
Any ideas?
This part: he shall be destroyed, neither in anger, nor in battle

So, will a meteorite hit him? Will he commit suicide? Will he choke to death on a piece of bread? What?
Destroyed....cancer destroys, and a major heart attack would, so would
a car wreck, ......

This is another verse from Zechariah which has always fascinated me:
And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth...
Think about that! What plague could dissolve your flesh so fast that it melts as you stand?
 
I have heard it said that the verse from Zechariah is speaking of nuclear weapons. I don't know but I guess that would cause your flesh to melt off of your bones.
I don't want to sound stupid but if I'm not sure of something then I don't want to make like I know the answers, ya know?

Sputnik: Do you know that the prophetic books of Daniel and Revelation fit like a glove, von? Pretty amazing since there's a span of 500 years between authorship of both.

It could be a nuclear weapon, but, notice also, this plague is
SPECIFICALLY TARGETED towards people who fight against Jerusalem.
Does that mean in the Day of the Lord, which is what this portion of Zechariah is talking about, will be a day of terror for all who have fought against Jerusalem?
Notice Jesus stands on the Mount of Olives, splitting it, and then, the SAINTS come with Him. Is this the Battle of Armageddon, spoken of in Revelation? I think it is.
Here's the whole group of Scriptures:
4: And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.
5: And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.
6: And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark:
7: But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.
8: And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.
9: And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.
10: All the land shall be turned as a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem: and it shall be lifted up, and inhabited in her place, from Benjamin's gate unto the place of the first gate, unto the corner gate, and from the tower of Hananeel unto the king's winepresses.
11: And men shall dwell in it, and there shall be no more utter destruction; but Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited.
12: And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.
13: And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from the LORD shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour.
14: And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the heathen round about shall be gathered together, gold, and silver, and apparel, in great abundance.
15: And so shall be the plague of the horse, of the mule, of the camel, and of the ass, and of all the beasts that shall be in these tents, as this plague.
16: And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.
17: And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain.
18: And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no rain; there shall be the plague, wherewith the LORD will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.
19: This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.
20: In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses, HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD; and the pots in the LORD's house shall be like the bowl's before the altar.
21: Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holiness unto the LORD of hosts: and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of them, and seethe therein: and in that day there shall be no more the Canaanite in the house of the LORD of hosts.

BE CAREFUL what you say about the Jews. If it were not for the Jews, we, the wild olive branch (please look it up in New Testament)
would all burn in The Lake of Fire. ALL non-Jews were grafted IN to the body of Christ, because the Jews temporarily fell away, and a veil
is on their understanding today, for many reasons, but one reason is: because God is merciful to you and me, and He is giving us this chance to be part of the body of Christ,
because Jesus, THE KING OF THE JEWS, chose you and I to be born at a time when FAITH, not keeping the Law, would get US into Heaven.
If I had been born during a time when KEEPING THE WHOLE LAW was the way into Heaven, I would be burning in torments forever.
Praise GOD, worship the King of the Jews, the Saviour of all who will accept His shed blood as payment for our sins. Praise the Lord, that
we were born during this GRACE PERIOD.


I say be careful how you speak of, and treat the Jews, and Jerusalem, because there's a man selling books that just rip the Jews apart. Ever heard of Texe Marrs? I used to like reading his newsletter, but, in the past couple of years, he has turned a poison pen towards the Jews.
His book, Thunder Over Zion, is just awful.
I don't even want to repeat what Texe Marrs says, but, it's wicked, in my opinion.
Someone sent me a link to order the book, and I blasted back at them, and told them they might be part of the group whose flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.

What do you think?
