I really liked the "End of the World" document on the blog, very informative.
Excerpt: About the time of the end, a body of men will be raised up who will turn their attention to the prophecies, and insist upon their literal interpretation, in the midst of much clamor and opposition." Sir Isaac Newton (1643-1727 AD) "The prophecies are to be unintelligible to the unbelievers but intelligible to those who are properly instructed." Blaise Pascal (1623 - 1662 AD) Isaiah 17:1-5 1 The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap. 2 The cities of Aroer are forsaken: they shall be for flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid. 3 The fortress also shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant of Syria: they shall be as the glory of the children of Israel, saith the LORD of hosts. 4 And in that day it shall come to pass, that the glory of Jacob shall be made thin, and the fatness of his flesh shall wax lean. 5 And it shall be as when the harvestman gathereth the corn, and reapeth the ears with his arm; and it shall be as he that gathereth ears in the valley of Rephaim. Isaiah 19:18-25 18 In that day shall five cities in the land of Egypt speak the language of Canaan, and swear to the LORD of hosts; one shall be called, The city of destruction. 19 In that day shall there be an altar to the LORD in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar at the border thereof to the LORD. 20 And it shall be for a sign and for a witness unto the LORD of hosts in the land of Egypt: for they shall cry unto the LORD because of the oppressors, and he shall send them a savior, and a great one, and he shall deliver them. 21 And the LORD shall be known to Egypt, and the Egyptians shall know the LORD in that day, and shall do sacrifice and oblation; yea, they shall vow a vow unto the LORD, and perform it. 22 And the LORD shall smite Egypt: he shall smite and heal it: and they shall return even to the LORD, and he shall be entreated of them, and shall heal them. 23 In that day shall there be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria, and the Egyptians shall serve with the Assyrians. 24 In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, even a blessing in the midst of the land: 25 Whom the LORD of hosts shall bless, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel mine inheritance. The End and Last Things Before I begin let me say to all that I am very well aware of the scripture that states no one knows the day or the hour concerning the second coming of Jesus Christ. However Jesus Christ while on earth made it clear we are to know the season of his coming. I would now like to quote another scripture which gives balance to the scripture about the day and the hour. It is a key sign for the season of the end; this is why Jesus said watch for the signs in the first place. Here is that scripture all Christians should read carefully. 1 Thessalonians 5:3-5 3 When people say, "There is peace and security," then sudden destruction will come upon them as travail comes upon a woman with child, and there will be no escape. 4 But you are not in darkness, brothers, for that day to surprise you like a thief. 5 For you are all sons of light and sons of the day; we are not of the night or of darkness. This "peace and security" sign will occur when the future false Christ of Israel spoken by the prophet Daniel (also called the Antichrist) will bring about a peace agreement that holds in the Middle East, especially between Israel and her local neighbors. Not a cease-fire as is the case presently but a real peace agreement with Israel and her enemies. I believe 2009-2016 is the general time frame (in my opinion) for things as we know them to end, 2018 at the very latest. This with the peace agreement being made and broken as discussed in scripture. I could site lots of other theological points from scripture concerning the end of the world but I will not do that in this document. The information I have to share with you today is designed to give you the foundation to do further research, which if done by you will convince you that this time, you are NOT hearing another a false alarm. Is this just more Peter crying WOLF? Why is it different this time? The reason it is different this time is because of nuclear proliferation and nuclear terrorism. The almost surety of nuclear terrorist attack occurring in America within 1-9 years in today's political and religious climate may already be unstoppable. Ignorance and false assumptions by many Americans including those in Congress concerning nuclear proliferation and its imminent danger is almost unbelievable. Part of the problem with American's current ignorance lies with the U.S and USSR's past cold war. Because the former Soviet Union and the United States were able to keep from having a nuclear war through the (MADD) mutually assured destruction doctrine the average American assumes it should be easy to stop nuclear terrorism by a terrorist. Not so, in fact it is more difficult than any challenge of this century. First of all besides the MADD military doctrine, America and the Soviet Union had satellite launch detection capability of any offensive launches by the other. The US and the former Soviet Union in spite of their differences were able to stop many near nuclear war disasters. This in spite of all the political posturing of that era they still were very much about preserving the peace. Religious nuclear terrorism's plan is much different however and it is anything but about keeping the peace, in fact its goal is to cause and to capitalize on the chaos nuclear terrorism will create. It is not concerned with collapsed or depressed economies it causes and does not care about innocent non-combatants killed. The most dangerous scenario of all with nuclear terrorism is that it does not need a nuclear weapon delivery system such as a missile to attack a country. Nuclear terrorist weapon on a truck or cargo ship The terrorists could put a nuclear weapon in a truck, a cargo ship to deliver it to any target they have access to. Nuclear weapons placed in trucks or cargo ships would not be detectable by satellite technology and would almost never be detectable by ground radiation detectors unless a solid lead of the weapons location was ascertained beforehand. Not to mention cargo containers inspected with x-ray and radiation detectors in the USA is less than 10 percent and worse than that percentage-wise worldwide. No there are no star war detectors or secret black operation programs that can thwart or find nuclear weapons that are well hidden. Current radiation detectors are very limited and need to be within 300 yards of a weapon, so if you do not know the general area you have a serious problem. When a terrorist nuclear weapon is set off the problem of tracing it to an absolute verifiable point of origin is almost impossible. Technically you end up with a shell game of which country to destroy. This lack of tractability to the point of origin is extremely destabilizing to the entire world, not just to the United States of America. World War three could start very quickly just because of the panic created of not knowing the source country of the weapon set off by a terrorist. Tracing a nuclear terrorist weapon back to its point of origin Many reading might assume we could trace back to a source country of origin but I'm sorry that is just not the case. At best a nation might have intelligence of a possible source but no absolute. A hypothetical, lets say America is attacked with three nuclear terrorist weapons; the delivery system is two trucks and one cargo ship. The cities seriously damaged or destroyed for example purposes are New York, Los Angeles and Washington D.C. While America is recovering the military determines that one possible source of origin is Pakistan's Kurdish tribal areas near the border, the other is Iran but military sources cannot rule out Syria either. What does the United States do? Even if the USA or other country had excellent intelligence of the country of origin, but was still not sure what city then what? Should the United States wait for three more weapons to go off? Do you understand now how serious this is, the destruction of all of Pakistan, Iran, Syria becomes a very serious and real option. The destruction of multiple terrorist countries with the possibility of a billion deaths in order to save 5 billion lives could become very real possiblility if America is hit with a terrorist nuclear weapon. What about the innocent lives that would be lost in those countries? In order to evaluate that correctly one must put a value on the innocents lives lost in America and the cost of future loses by inaction and additional attacks by terrorists. Danger for Russia and China if America is attacked Russia and China also have a great deal to lose should a terrorist organization ever become successful in any type of nuclear terrorism against the USA. If the hardliners of Russia and China continue to drag their feet at the security council and decide to let America's economy suffer in order to force America to pay a price for interference in Iraq, then Russia and China need to remember any nuclear terrorist infrastructure that is perfected and duplicated by terrorists up until the time America is attacked is the same infrastructure and capability that will later be employed against China or Russia when the terrorists deem it in their interests to do so. Complacency and political posturing is more dangerous now than it was during the cold war. Missile capability by most countries in the Middle East The other reason peter is not crying wolf today in this end of the world scenario is because of the rapid conventional war missile capability by most countries in the Middle East. Twenty-five years ago rocket and missile technology was very crude and very limited in range in the Middle East. Currently Iran can hit nearly every target or city in Israel with missiles. The Scud D made that possible last year not to mention half of Iran's older missiles can hit 35 percent of the cities in Israel. ||ref-Iran| Iran and Syria both have VX nerve agents and other chemical agents that can be put in their current missile delivery systems. This alone makes Israel feel very vulnerable especially with the USA talking seriously about leaving. A combined Iranian and Syrian attack even with just VX and conventional weapons could kill 500,000 to a million if they fired 70 percent of their missile capability. Of course Iran and Syria know this would bring a nuclear response from Israel so Iran waits for a chance to complete multiple nuclear weapons before striking. Bringing American troops home & the possible cost Americans can bring our troops home if they like but regardless of past presidential mistakes or future presidential mistakes regardless whether they are democrat or republican the hate in the Middle East between Iran, Syria, & Israel will continue. Eventually Israel will act alone for her survival if the world community forces her to do so. If this occurs most of the Middle East will be destroyed along with her ability to produce and transport the economic lifeblood of America, China and so forth. The world's economic crash would be as terrible as it would be unpredictable in its duration. The numbers of American troops killed compared to what? Americans have become so complacent in understanding the real problem with nuclear terrorism that they don't even know how to discuss the subject correctly. This is not a problem you can run away from. I do understand and mourn the loss of life that occurs everyday around the world and in America. I realize that many who protest the war are protesting based on their own emotional issues, politics, or just plain fear without all the facts. Sadly also there are those persons that take advantage of the lives lost for their own political purposes only. 4,118 |ref-icasualties| 6+ years is a terrible loss, but after America left Rwandan Somalia over a half a million lives were lost to genocide. |ref-Rwan-1| |ref-Rwan-2|From April 6, 1994 to July 1994, just four short months the Rwandan genocide of 1994 took the lives of 800,000 people. CNN did not cover Somalia's genocide for very long and very few Americans protested it. Since the Iraq war started in 2003 318,000 people have died in automobile accidents just in the USA alone. Half of those killed of that 318,000 total |ref-Maddrunk Driv| were by people who were under the influence of drugs or alcohol, the other half approx. 159,000 were sober and alert when they died. I still see no movement towards banning alcohol or automobiles in America. Considering the total deaths for Americans killed in traffic accidents (45,000 - 60,000 per year) I assume those protesting the war are protesting based on their own fear, or their own politics but not on actual lives lost or their value. Because if they were protesting based on the value of American lives lost, then at the very least alcohol would be banned by now in America. American highway deaths makes the deaths lost in Iraq seem almost like a drop in the bucket in comparison. Forget about the politics, forget about who you love or who you hate and why? This really is a time America needs to be united regardless of the commander and chief. American's needs to grow up and realize it does not matter what your politics are, nuclear proliferation and terrorism must be controlled or its end will not occur until it brings an end to civilization as we know it. Either all at once or in pieces, one nuclear terrorist weapon at a time. America as a country needs to get it's house in order, ignoring this issue will not save us anymore than ostrich putting its head in the sand. America is wasting her time trying to reform any Arab nation Personally regardless of intentions I think America is wasting her time trying to reform any Arab nation and I have no problem with seeing the troops come home. But make no mistake America needs to weigh the cost, because when the troops come home Israel will feel it needs to act to protect herself. Since Israel cannot fight against a massive attack from multiple Muslim and Arab countries she will have no choice but to go nuclear if attacked in mass. When the U.S leaves the region wars will ultimate break out and almost surely will escalate to nuclear. Should Israel restrain herself even after we leave make no mistake, Israel will have no choice but to act when Iran obtains nuclear weapon capability. A paniced pre-emptive strike by Israel if America is attacked Another serious scenario to consider that is very possible is this: If America is attacked with terrorist nuclear weapons Israel could panic and decide to go with a preemptive strike against all her main enemies in the Middle East. This in order to prevent an attack of chemical or nuclear weapons on Israel during America's recovery. GETTING BACK TO THE END OF THE WORLD IN GENERAL First for clarity the world is not going to end as in disappear from the universe, but it will become a planet rendered almost useless because of man's bio, chemical and nuclear weapons (war & terrorism). Not to mention the Antichrist war's against the nations that oppose him. Then of course Gods' eventually judgment against Antichrist and all who take his future buying and selling mark. The end of the world does not really end but it gets so bad in the world you wish the world had ended. Over two thirds of the population will be destroyed by man's wars, hate and Antichrist before Jesus Christ stops it at his coming. Yes this 2012-2018 date is my opinion but you can rest assured it is a good one. I could tell you the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ has revealed this general time frame to me, but you would not believe me if I told you that so I decided that I won't tell you that. Whatever happened to reading between the lines? I guess you would call that the SPACE between. Friends this time frame is not new information to me but since so many have made claims like this in the past and were wrong I figured it would be pointless to clue you in, even though in this case it is correct. For a few reading however this page will make a difference. For the rest however they will just laugh and ignore this just as it is predicted in the Bible they would. MY OTHER CONCERNS Then comes my other concerns, if you believe me without having the assurance of salvation and God's Holy Spirit in Jesus Christ then this might cause you to be extremely depressed on one hand, or overly fanatical on the other. Please do not be or do either one. Pray, seek, ask in Jesus name. PLEASE DO NOT BE DEPRESSED OR FANATICAL. Do not sell your house, do not scream on the streets the end is near and do not fear. Ask God Almighty in Jesus' name what and when to do any of these things or none of these things. Then ask him about all things. There is a time to speak and a time to be quiet concerning end time Bible prophecy. There is time to work and a time to rest in Jesus, even from preaching the Gospel. If Jesus' Holy Spirit says to rest and grants you the privilege to enter into that rest by his spirit, then be sure to ask for his help to help you stay in his rest. You will find it's a very difficult thing to do sometimes especially when people are perishing around you and Jesus still says no, not yet. Then you say why and the Holy Spirit says trust me. To the non Christians reading today To my non-Christian readers let us drop God out of the picture altogether for a moment. Lets pretend there is no God and I'm wrong and you are right. Even from this point of view we must deal with the problems listed below to keep World War 3 from happening.

Brothers and sisters Jesus Christ must direct you and perfect
you by his Holy Spirit each and everytime and each and everyday
when doing real ministry in his name. This is true both for
ministry as well as for you personally. Your ministry is your
service to him, but in heaven your relationship is what is most
important to him. There is a clue for you, on earth as it is done
in heaven. So revival starts with you and your relationship with
the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ, not with a chore list of works or
even well meaning good intentions. Brothers and sisters if your
service to him or if your ministry causes you to be busy with
emotions and things to do, but does not cause you to have a close
tangible relationship with Jesus Christ by his Holy Spirit
everyday, then stop and find out why. Jesus does not need
servants, he wants son's and daughters who love him and want to
serve. Jesus is not interested in giving you a job, rather he
wants to give you a hug and a holy kiss. You see when Jesus said
it is finished he knew what he was talking about, even if some of
us are still a little unclear about it.
