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)
This is fascinating.
