#1 They’re Giving You a Bum-Rapture
What will cause a great “Falling Away†that was predicted by John to occur just before Jesus returns? Christians who are waiting for a Pre-Trib Rapture will become unglued when the Antichrist is revealed and they are still standing here on earth. Many will say in that day- this can’t be the Mark of the Beast- we are suppose to be Raptured before this happens? Therefore, millions will be misled by false prophets/teachers who say the Rapture is still coming. The great escape will never happen for the majority. Most Christians will be persecuted to death by the Antichrist’s edict that everyone be marked with a computer tatoo to be able to buy and sell.
The Rapture occurs at the Last Trump just before the “Day of Wrath†and Jesus’ return to earth. The only believers left on Earth at that time will be the Jews who are hiding in the wilderness east of Israel and anyone else who mangaged to avoid taking the Mark of the Beast and have not been persecuted to death. The believing Jews in Israel (~3 ½ years after the signing of the Peace Treaty)are the ones that Jesus warned to flee when they see their temple being desecrated by the Antichrist. (The temple will never be rebuilt as some people assume. Only the underground excavated Holy of Holies directly beneath the Dome of the Rock will be used by the Jews for secret sacrifices during the end times. That underground Sanctuary Fortress will be used by the Antichrist as his base-being the safest place on earth- Holy ground for both Jew and Arab alike.)
Most people have heard that there will be a Tribulation period lasting 7 years. But the Bible teaches that things will be pretty peaceful the first 3 ½ years and then there will be a persecution of Christians the last 3 ½ years. Part of that persecution involves the killing of the “Two Witnesses†who are put on display for the world to see and suddenly come alive again and are Raptured up into the clouds (probably along with all the other believers left alive). The Wrath of God follows immediately with a great earthquake and then the final battle of Armageddon (believers will not see the Wrath). It concludes on the “Last Day†of this age when Jesus returns to earth with His Saints. The Rapture happens at the Last Trumpet, which will sound and the dead in Christ will rise first and then the surviving Jews in the wilderness and all surviving believers will be Raptured to join them and they will return with Jesus to fight the forces gathered in Israel. All people who have taken the Mark of the Beast and survive, including the forces at Armageddon, are killed by the brightness of Jesus’ coming.
When Jesus appears in the clouds, the surviving Jews in Jerusalem will convert when they see their Messiah. They run into the valley which forms by the splitting of the Mt. of Olives from the touch of Jesus’ foot. Many other unbelievers, both Jew and Gentile throughout the earth will convert when they see the Glory of the Lord appear. Everyone who survives up until this time will enter the Millennium Kingdom in their mortal bodies. The Raptured and Resurrected Saints that came with Jesus will co-rule in the Kingdom with Jesus in their Glorified bodies. They will co-rule over the cities of Israel and surrounding lands for 1000 years. The mortals in the surrounding countries will have to come up to worship the King yearly on the Feast of Tabernacles or they will not get rain. The unbelievers, who manage to survive into the Millennium, do not get to stay. They are the ones Jesus mentions who appear at the Wedding Feast, but do not have on their wedding garments. They are separated in the Sheep and Goat Judgment and are cast out into outer darkness.
Don’t let anyone mislead you! When you see the final peace treaty signed between Israel and her Arab neighbors, know that there will nearly 3 ½ years of peace and safety before another war breaks out in the Mideast. The Antichrist will come and take over Israel and the undergound sanctuary to stop an all out Jihad against Israel. Then believing Jews will flee to the wilderness and the Antichrist will cause everyone to take a mark. Then there will be great tribulation for Christians, but many will fall away and accept the Antichrist’s system. They will be lost forever. Do not be one of them- read the scriptures for yourselves. Do not believe the Rapture will save you- if you will endure to the end you will be Saved- God help you and all of us to be true till He returns.
#2- Eight Prophecies that Won't Happen
#1 The Antichrist will not sign the 7 year peace treaty with Israel. It will be signed by some other peace negotiator (not mentioned in prophecy) before the Antichrist is revealed!
#2 The Rapture will not happen before the last 7 years of this age. Only the Jewish survivors hiding in the wilderness, and anyone who survived the persecution of the Antichrist, will be Raptured at the Last Trump.
#3 The Tribulation will not last 7 years. Daniel’s 70th begins with the signing of a 7 year peace treaty with Israel and for 3 ½ years the world experiences a time of peace and prosperity. Only after the middle of the 7 years does “tribulation†begin for Christians who are persecuted for not taking the mark of the Antichrist (he is revealed then). The Wrath of God happens at the end of the 7 years.
#4 The Antichrist will not die from a head wound and recover. The Beast that is wounded and revives is the Revived Roman Empire composed of 10 nations headed by the Antichrist. It is the Roman Empire which was wounded and will revive in the end times.
#5 The Jewish temple will not be rebuilt before Jesus returns. The secret excavated Holy of Holies (referred to as the Sanctuary Fortress) already exists under centuries of ruble beneath the Arab Dome of the Rock. Sacrifices will continue there until the Antichrist stops them and sets up his Abomination of Desolation on the altar there.
#6 The Antichrist will not implant people with a computer chip. He will mark people with a UPC tattoo containing the encription of the numbers 666 in the double bars at the beginning, middle, and end of the symbol. This will be an invisible infrared mark that will be used to buy and sell in the New Economic Order.
#7 Christians will live and reign with Christ on earth in the Millennium. Christians will be on earth during the Millennium with Jesus- not in New Jerusalem. They will enter that final home only after the Millennium.
#8 There will not be a rebellion after the Millennnium from anyone living during the Millennnium. The lost of all ages will stand on earth after the Millennium and be lead by a recently released Satan to fight against the Saints in Jerusalem. They are Gog and Magog returned to life and are destroyed by fire from heaven and stand before God to be destroyed in the Lake of Fire at the Great White Throne Judgement.
#3 These passages reveal that the 1st Resurrection/Rapture occurs at the Last Trump on the Last Day of this age.
John 11:23 Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.
24 Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.
Dan 12:1 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.
2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
13 But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.
Mat 24:29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven:
and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
1 Cor 15:51 Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump:
for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
1 Thes 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
Rev 11:18 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.
Rev 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
#4 The Falling Away Comes First
After reading the passages below, I have become convinced that many Christians alive during the end times will fall away when the time of persecution/tribulation comes. I hope I am wrong and, but these passages show otherwise. I attribute the belief in a Pre-Trib Rapture as a major contributor to this falling away. One of these days the final treaty will be signed with Israel and then the Pre-Trib people will hopefully recant their belief. If not then they will have to recant after the Antichrist is revealed (when he requires the world to take his mark). If they do not recant then- there will not be another chance. Some who hold to the Pre-Trib Rapture as a tenet of faith will say in that day- this can’t be the final treaty, or this can’t be the mark- because we haven’t been Raptured yet. These key events may not be obvious. 1.The treaty may look like any other. 2. the Antichrist will take over the hidden underground Holy of Holies- not a rebuilt Jewish Temple, and 3. the Mark will be an invisible tattoo and not an implanted computer chip (which can be dug out and removed vs a permanent tattoo in the skin). When the Pre-Trib Rapture does not occur, that belief will have to be recanted. So it is safer to do it now in these calm times- rather than wait and see when it gets hairy. Remember- a Post Trib or Pre- Wrath belief will never have to be recanted.
Please read the following passages- the warning to us is clear.
2 Thes: 2:1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him. 2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. 5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. 8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
False Christians
Mat 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. 24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
False Prophets
Mat 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. 15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
Endure to the End
Mat 10:21 And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death. 22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.
Falling Away When Persecuted
Mat 13:10 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables? 11 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
12 For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath. 13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
14 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:
15 For this people’s heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them. 16 But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.
17 For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.
18 Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower. 19 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side. 20 But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;
21 Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while:
for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended. 22 He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.
Five Foolish Christians
Mat 25:1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. 3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. 6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. 7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. 8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
13 Watch therefore, for ye
#5 FDA Approves Computer Chip for Humans
The VeriChip, the size of a grain of rice, is inserted under the skin with a needle in a procedure that takes less than 20 minutes to complete.
WASHINGTON - Medical milestone or privacy invasion? A tiny computer chip approved Wednesday for implantation in a patient’s arm can speed vital information about a patient’s medical history to doctors and hospitals. But critics warn that it could open new ways to imperil the confidentiality of medical records.
The Food and Drug Administration said Wednesday that Applied Digital Solutions of Delray Beach, Fla., could market the VeriChip, an implantable computer chip about the size of a grain of rice, for medical purposes.
With the pinch of a syringe, the microchip is inserted under the skin in a procedure that takes less than 20 minutes and leaves no stitches. Silently and invisibly, the dormant chip stores a code that releases patient-specific information when a scanner passes over it.
#6 Invisible Bar Codes
The number one product was invisible bar code introduced by Eastman Chemical Company. Invisible bar codes are not new. They have been around for at least 10 years. What’s new about the invisible bar codes shown by Eastman is the use of near-infrared flurorophores (NIRFs). NIRFs can be made to glow by the red light from a laser scanner. That means that slightly modified laser scanners can read the NIRF bar codes. The old type of invisible bar codes used ultraviolet fluorescent ink which required a UV light source and a custom CCD camera to read the bar code. NIRF bar codes are also less prone to background interference from whiteners that are added in the paper making process. These whiteners glow under ultraviolet light and reduce the contrast of bar codes printed with UV ink.
So what applications could use a bar code that you can’t see? Even the people at Eastman didn’t have a quick answer, but I have a few ideas. NIRF bar codes have their biggest use in closed or in house applications. A typical example would be a wholesale fine woods warehouse. The wood planks could be marked with NIRF bar codes and scanned as the wood went into and out of inventory. The invisible marking would not destroy the wood’s appearance, yet the advantages of bar codes would still be available.
Since the bars printed with NIRF ink glow, they appear as white spaces to an ordinary bar code reader. Eastman showed several bar code readers that were modified to read the negative image of the bar code because of the glowing of the ink when illuminated by red light from scanner. Now here is an idea for a NIRF bar code application that even the people at Eastman haven’t thought of yet that uses the glowing nature of NIRFs in a visible bar code. Imagine a bar code where the bars are printed with black ink and the spaces are printed with NIRF ink. What you would have is a bar code with a phenomenal contrast ratio. This type of bar code would most likely be readable even if soiled. Remember you heard this idea first from me.
It is these visionary possibilities for Eastman’s NIRF bar code that earned it the top position.
(as of 11/18/1999 the technology is called ClirCode and is owned by Authentix)
#7 The Four Horseman Have Already Ridden
The common misconception that the four horseman are of the Apocalypse and that they ride together is erroneous. There will be terrible events the last 3 ½ years before Jesus returns, but they do not have anything to do with the 4 horseman as interpreted below...
Rev 6:2 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he (Napoleon) that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer. 3 And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see. 4 And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth (WWI), and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword. 5 And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. 6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine (Great Depression). 7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. 8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth (WWII).
The next seal to be opened is the 5th Seal or persecution of Christians in the second half of Daniel’s 70th Week. We are in the middle of the 4th and 5th seal at this time in prophectic history- closer than most people think.
#8 The Real Prophecy of the Temple
One of the biggest deceptions in the end times will be the insistance that the Jewish Temple will have to be rebuilt before Jesus returns. Many Christians will say in that day, “This can’t be Daniel’s 7th week because the Temple hasn’t been rebuilt.†But the Jews will carry out their animal sacrifices secretly from the world (including animal rights activists) in the original location of the Holy of Holies- directly beneath centuries of rubble right under the Arab occupied Dome of the Rock.
Hal Lindsey reported in one of his books that he took a tour of the excavated tunnels on the Temple Mount and saw a sign pointing to the location of the Holy of Holies. The passage had been sealed off to tourists, but excavations were continuing beyond the view of the public. In the 90’s protests broke out when a new tunnel was opened under the Temple Mount, which almost provoked the Palestinians to rebellion because it was near their holy site.
I’ve heard some people say that the Muslim Dome of the Rock will be destroyed before a Jewish Temple can be rebuilt. Let me make this plain- every Muslim in the world will rise up as one if this were to ever happen (protests over cartoons will seem tame in comparison). The only way the Jewish system of sacrifices can be reinstated is if the original chamber of the Holy of Holies, which now lies under the Dome of the Rock, is used. The Antichrist will one day take over this Sanctuary Fortress for his base in the Mid-Week Mid East war. It will be the safest place on earth- directly underneath the Dome of the Rock- Holy ground to both Jew and Arab. We will never see a new Jewish Temple rebuilt to fulfill the prophecies of Daniel’s 70th Week. The only sign we will see, that Daniel’s 70th week has begun, is the final signing of a 7 year interim peace treaty between Israel and the Arabs. The last 7 years of Daniel’s 70th Week is not the Tribulation. Tribulation or the period of persecution happens after Mid-Week when Christians are persecuted for not taking the Mark of the Anti-Christ. The first 3 ½ years of Daniel’s 70th Week is actually a period of peace and prosperity. Therefore, if you are really a Pre-Trib Rapturist, then you are actually a Mid-Tribber because Tribulation doesn’t start till after Mid-Week. The big confusion among Christians is not knowing the difference between the Tribulation or persecution of Christians and the Wrath of God on unbelievers, which happens at the end of the 7 years.

Rev 11:18 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.
Rev 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
#4 The Falling Away Comes First
After reading the passages below, I have become convinced that many Christians alive during the end times will fall away when the time of persecution/tribulation comes. I hope I am wrong and, but these passages show otherwise. I attribute the belief in a Pre-Trib Rapture as a major contributor to this falling away. One of these days the final treaty will be signed with Israel and then the Pre-Trib people will hopefully recant their belief. If not then they will have to recant after the Antichrist is revealed (when he requires the world to take his mark). If they do not recant then- there will not be another chance. Some who hold to the Pre-Trib Rapture as a tenet of faith will say in that day- this can’t be the final treaty, or this can’t be the mark- because we haven’t been Raptured yet. These key events may not be obvious. 1.The treaty may look like any other. 2. the Antichrist will take over the hidden underground Holy of Holies- not a rebuilt Jewish Temple, and 3. the Mark will be an invisible tattoo and not an implanted computer chip (which can be dug out and removed vs a permanent tattoo in the skin). When the Pre-Trib Rapture does not occur, that belief will have to be recanted. So it is safer to do it now in these calm times- rather than wait and see when it gets hairy. Remember- a Post Trib or Pre- Wrath belief will never have to be recanted.
Please read the following passages- the warning to us is clear.
2 Thes: 2:1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him. 2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. 5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. 8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
False Christians
Mat 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. 24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
False Prophets
Mat 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. 15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
Endure to the End
Mat 10:21 And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death. 22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.
Falling Away When Persecuted
Mat 13:10 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables? 11 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
12 For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath. 13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
14 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:
15 For this people’s heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them. 16 But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.
17 For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.
18 Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower. 19 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side. 20 But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;
21 Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while:
for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended. 22 He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.
Five Foolish Christians
Mat 25:1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. 3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. 6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. 7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. 8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
13 Watch therefore, for ye
#5 FDA Approves Computer Chip for Humans
The VeriChip, the size of a grain of rice, is inserted under the skin with a needle in a procedure that takes less than 20 minutes to complete.
WASHINGTON - Medical milestone or privacy invasion? A tiny computer chip approved Wednesday for implantation in a patient’s arm can speed vital information about a patient’s medical history to doctors and hospitals. But critics warn that it could open new ways to imperil the confidentiality of medical records.
The Food and Drug Administration said Wednesday that Applied Digital Solutions of Delray Beach, Fla., could market the VeriChip, an implantable computer chip about the size of a grain of rice, for medical purposes.
With the pinch of a syringe, the microchip is inserted under the skin in a procedure that takes less than 20 minutes and leaves no stitches. Silently and invisibly, the dormant chip stores a code that releases patient-specific information when a scanner passes over it.
#6 Invisible Bar Codes
The number one product was invisible bar code introduced by Eastman Chemical Company. Invisible bar codes are not new. They have been around for at least 10 years. What’s new about the invisible bar codes shown by Eastman is the use of near-infrared flurorophores (NIRFs). NIRFs can be made to glow by the red light from a laser scanner. That means that slightly modified laser scanners can read the NIRF bar codes. The old type of invisible bar codes used ultraviolet fluorescent ink which required a UV light source and a custom CCD camera to read the bar code. NIRF bar codes are also less prone to background interference from whiteners that are added in the paper making process. These whiteners glow under ultraviolet light and reduce the contrast of bar codes printed with UV ink.
So what applications could use a bar code that you can’t see? Even the people at Eastman didn’t have a quick answer, but I have a few ideas. NIRF bar codes have their biggest use in closed or in house applications. A typical example would be a wholesale fine woods warehouse. The wood planks could be marked with NIRF bar codes and scanned as the wood went into and out of inventory. The invisible marking would not destroy the wood’s appearance, yet the advantages of bar codes would still be available.
Since the bars printed with NIRF ink glow, they appear as white spaces to an ordinary bar code reader. Eastman showed several bar code readers that were modified to read the negative image of the bar code because of the glowing of the ink when illuminated by red light from scanner. Now here is an idea for a NIRF bar code application that even the people at Eastman haven’t thought of yet that uses the glowing nature of NIRFs in a visible bar code. Imagine a bar code where the bars are printed with black ink and the spaces are printed with NIRF ink. What you would have is a bar code with a phenomenal contrast ratio. This type of bar code would most likely be readable even if soiled. Remember you heard this idea first from me.
It is these visionary possibilities for Eastman’s NIRF bar code that earned it the top position.

#7 The Four Horseman Have Already Ridden
The common misconception that the four horseman are of the Apocalypse and that they ride together is erroneous. There will be terrible events the last 3 ½ years before Jesus returns, but they do not have anything to do with the 4 horseman as interpreted below...
Rev 6:2 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he (Napoleon) that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer. 3 And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see. 4 And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth (WWI), and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword. 5 And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. 6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine (Great Depression). 7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. 8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth (WWII).
The next seal to be opened is the 5th Seal or persecution of Christians in the second half of Daniel’s 70th Week. We are in the middle of the 4th and 5th seal at this time in prophectic history- closer than most people think.
#8 The Real Prophecy of the Temple
One of the biggest deceptions in the end times will be the insistance that the Jewish Temple will have to be rebuilt before Jesus returns. Many Christians will say in that day, “This can’t be Daniel’s 7th week because the Temple hasn’t been rebuilt.†But the Jews will carry out their animal sacrifices secretly from the world (including animal rights activists) in the original location of the Holy of Holies- directly beneath centuries of rubble right under the Arab occupied Dome of the Rock.
Hal Lindsey reported in one of his books that he took a tour of the excavated tunnels on the Temple Mount and saw a sign pointing to the location of the Holy of Holies. The passage had been sealed off to tourists, but excavations were continuing beyond the view of the public. In the 90’s protests broke out when a new tunnel was opened under the Temple Mount, which almost provoked the Palestinians to rebellion because it was near their holy site.
I’ve heard some people say that the Muslim Dome of the Rock will be destroyed before a Jewish Temple can be rebuilt. Let me make this plain- every Muslim in the world will rise up as one if this were to ever happen (protests over cartoons will seem tame in comparison). The only way the Jewish system of sacrifices can be reinstated is if the original chamber of the Holy of Holies, which now lies under the Dome of the Rock, is used. The Antichrist will one day take over this Sanctuary Fortress for his base in the Mid-Week Mid East war. It will be the safest place on earth- directly underneath the Dome of the Rock- Holy ground to both Jew and Arab. We will never see a new Jewish Temple rebuilt to fulfill the prophecies of Daniel’s 70th Week. The only sign we will see, that Daniel’s 70th week has begun, is the final signing of a 7 year interim peace treaty between Israel and the Arabs. The last 7 years of Daniel’s 70th Week is not the Tribulation. Tribulation or the period of persecution happens after Mid-Week when Christians are persecuted for not taking the Mark of the Anti-Christ. The first 3 ½ years of Daniel’s 70th Week is actually a period of peace and prosperity. Therefore, if you are really a Pre-Trib Rapturist, then you are actually a Mid-Tribber because Tribulation doesn’t start till after Mid-Week. The big confusion among Christians is not knowing the difference between the Tribulation or persecution of Christians and the Wrath of God on unbelievers, which happens at the end of the 7 years.
