An Endtimes Message from Ber

Most of us know we are in the endtimes. But most of us don't know just how close to the second coming we really are. We are witness to the final events of revelation as they unfold. And many of us are under strong delusions of false teachings. Many churches teach a pretrib rapture (which didn't show up in Protestant churches until 1830 by the way) where Christ whisks his elect out of here before the bad stuff hits the fan. Not true. See apostacy for how those preachings all came about. We ALL will be here as the bowls of God's wrath are poured out. God's saints will be "sealed" or protected from these calamities, but we will be here during that period. Revelation 16:15 clearly states Yahshua returns in the clouds as a thief in the night for His saints between the 6th plague and the 7th plague, just before the huge hailstones take out most everything on earth. John 17:15 states that Jesus Himself said," I pray NOT that though shouldest take them out of the world, but that though shouldest keep them from the evil". He means we will be protected from but we will endure the final days of wrath.

People are still awaiting a third temple to be built at the temple mount and the antichrist to come and stop the daily animal sacrifices. HUH? To have animals sacrificed again would be to ignore Christ's death on the cross which did away with those. Christ became the sacrificial lamb 2000 years ago. His death justified our sinfulness if we simply accept that salvation. Secondly, the Moslems would NEVER allow a 3rd temple to be built on the temple mount. The antichrist may already be here on earth and may have been with us for centuries. I believe the deceptions spoken of in revelation are being fulfilled .

Also for those of you not aware that there is a huge planet headed this way that our governments have known about since 1983 but are keeping top secret from us, you may want to check it out at www.detailshere.com/niburu.htm The latest leak from NASA says this: "As the debate over global warming heats up to a frenzied pitch between the USA and the rest of the world, the real truth of the
matter is being withheld. This is unfortunate because America is not the primary contributor to global warming - it is the current inbound flight of Nibiru. Also known as Planet X and the Destroyer, this massive object is the primary engine of warming throughout our solar system. In the coming years, its flight through the core of our solar system will generate a dizzying increase in Sumatra Superquake-class events, freakish European weather, Atlantic hurricanes and other natural catastrophes across the globe. In this groundbreaking interview, Dutch Physicist Jacco van der Worp summarizes over 5 years of systematic multi-field research into this phenomenon by the founders of Yowusa.com. Detailed predictions for the types and frequency of natural disasters between now and the year 2013 are presented. Yet, as dark as this future may appear, there may be hope; and NASA's Cassini spacecraft now orbiting Saturn
could hold the key." The interview can be found at http://www.yowusa.com/Audio/audio.html Find it in the archives.

We DO know this. The coming antichrist WILL BE Satan himself impersonating Jesus complete with miracles, healings, and bringing fire down from above. He will look just like you think Christ would look like. He will speak just like you think Christ would speak. He will fool and deceive even the elect. How do you know this antichrist is a counterfeit? Jesus will come in the clouds with millions of angels. The WHOLE WORLD will see it. It will not be an isolated event. Jesus will remain in the air; he will NOT come down to earth nor set foot on the ground during the second coming. He doesn't set foot on the ground until the end of the millenium when he returns with the city of New Jerusalem and all the saints (the righteous who were taken up with him at the second coming). At this second coming all the saved will be raised up in the air, righteous dead first followed by the righteous living. Satan cannot do a resurrection of the dead or change living people in the twinkle of an eye and float them upward into the clouds. But Satan's presence as the antichrist will be right here on earth preceding Jesus' return and deceiving as many as he can into thinking he is the Christ to prevent their salvation from being effected.

If you looked at all the graphs you should be getting the idea we are CLOSE and it's time to forget worldy things and to make yourself right with God. The article presented further below from www.lastrumpetministries.org summarizes what's going on presently to cause us to believe that this second coming is very near.

Preparation
What can you do to prepare yourself and your family for this event, the second coming? Is it even important to study about it? Did you know that the second coming is the ONLY time people ever get to go to heaven?? There is no other chance. The second resurrection at the end of the millenium period is simply a resurrection of the damned. Those are wicked people who didn't believe in Jesus and weren't saved and aren't found in the book of life who are simply raised again to be shown why they didn't make the grade only to get terminated in the lake of fire. You don't want to be part of the second resurrection. Considering the nearness of the second coming and the fact that there is no other chance to become immortal and live in a place where there is no sickness, aging or worries for ever and ever; it might behoove us to put a little more importance on finding out how we can be on that "taking up" to heaven.

Study what the bible has to say. A good easy to read online bible can be found at www.justbible.com. Go to www.detailshere.com/bible.htm and study the information and lessons there. Click on the links at the bottom of that page which takes you to other websites that deal in preparing you for the second coming also. Want the lazy way with excellent information?? Go to www.adventistsat.com and for $204 get a dish set up complete with dish, receiver, LNB, and preprogrammed with 7 great channels of lectures and information on the endtimes and how to prepare to go to heaven. The programming is FREE. NO MONTHLY FEES. These are fascinating lectures and information and programming. The satellite is visible from Alaksa to South America. I get excellent reception right here in Guadalajara. Mexico.
The mission is to get you up to speed so you can be on that trip to heaven at the second coming. I don't hold as fact everything that the adventist church teaches doctrinally, and I believe they teach things tht are not scriptural such as soul sleep and no real hell today, but I sure like the programming that comes through this dish. Their message of the salvation of Jesus is what really counts; don't get sidetracked nitpicking beliefs that don't affect your salavation. The goal is to put on the parachute and keep it on.

Taken from http://www.lasttrumpetministries.org this newsletter below summarizes what is going on in this world today to cause us to note where we are in the timeline of revelation.

Spiritual Escape Clause!
“Gather yourselves together, yea, gather together, O nation not desired; Before the decree bring forth, before the day pass as the chaff, before the fierce anger of the Lord come upon you, before the day of the Lord’s anger come upon you. Seek ye the Lord, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness; it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the Lord’s anger.”

Zephaniah 2:1-3

“And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the son of man.”

Luke 21:34-36

“But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.”

I Thessalonians 5:1-3

In this issue of the Last Trumpet Newsletter, we will examine once again the events of our day in the light of the Word of God, and as we do this we will see that we are absolutely and with utmost certainty in the final days of time. We are the generation that is seeing the final fulfillment of all Bible prophecy, and without exception every day declares the urgency of finality and that eternity is looming largely on the horizon.

Clearly, the earth is in a time of tribulation. We are seeing continual signs in the sun, moon, and stars. The volcanoes, earthquakes, freak weather, and the melting polar ice caps reveal that something is now going on such as never has gone on before. The wars and rumors of more wars, with the entire Middle East in an explosive situation, reveal the accuracy of Scripture and that the level of sin, especially in the United States of America, is reaching a saturation point which will bring forth fearful, fiery judgment. Indeed it is already beginning to happen.

The above Bible verses declare the sobering reality that the majority of the people now living upon the earth will not escape the righteous wrath of the Almighty even though there is a spiritual escape clause! We are told what to do with clear simplicity, and yet nearly everyone continues to live wickedly, enjoying at least to some extent the filthiness of immorality, drugs, drunkenness, pornography, witchcraft in its many forms, and countless other forms of defiance against the Almighty Saviour. If only people would face the reality of what is clearly manifested before them and humble themselves in full and complete repentance, they would be able to escape the wrath that is soon to come. Like the Passover in the land of Egypt, where the blood was applied the people were safe from the horrors that all of the others were facing. Likewise, when thick darkness engulfed the land, the people of God had light in their dwellings.

When we read in the book of Revelation of the awesome wrath of God that is just ahead, it is enough to make your hair stand on end, and it is no joke. All of these things are coming quickly. Why wait another minute? There is great power in repentance, because when you truly seek the Lord Jesus, He will not only completely forgive and forget, but He will also give you the measure of power that it takes to overcome the sins and sinful habits that have been slowly strangling the life out of you. You can overcome by the word of your testimony and by the blood of the Lamb. None of us are worthy, but as the Scripture says, we are “accounted worthy” if we will use that spiritual escape clause. We can be sheltered on this earth in the time of trouble. The spiritual escape clause ends soon.

A Strange Time and a Nation Bewitched!
The period of time between January 20th and March 20th is a very strange and important time for witches, especially in the United States. It is a special time for launching new occult projects for the New Year. March 19th through the 22nd is known among witches and Illuminists as the “Mars ingress”, which is a term used by astrologers to indicate an optimum time to start a war. We know that President Bush selected that time of the sabat of Ostera to attack Iraq and pronounced an end to major hostilities on the following high sabat of Beltaine or May 1st. Mr. Bush is a true Skull and Bonesman, and everything he does is true to form regarding that secret society and its related realm of witchcraft. The month of March is named for Mars, the ancient god of war. If you have been wondering about recent new war threats regarding Syria, Iran, North Korea and so on, you have your answer.

I remain thankful every day that I have been saved out of the realm of witchcraft and the occult. Because of what I know about that realm, I watch in continual amazement as the elitist masterminds of the Illuminati conspiracy work their plan for a new world order, because their scheduled events are always true to form with witchcraft and astrology. Witches take the wheel of the year, also known as the wheel of fortune, and divide it into quarters. Thus, the 52 weeks become four sets of 13 weeks. They further divide the weeks again into cross-quarters of 6 and one half weeks. This produces eight sabats per year, each approximately every 6 and one half weeks. This is the basis of their entire religion. Every 6 and one half mark is a cross-quarter or high sabat, and every 13 mark is a quarter sabat. World events always follow this pattern, and God also sends judgment upon them according to their own pattern. I have watched this for the past 24 years and it never fails.

When February 2nd arrived, it was the first sabat of the New Year and a high cross-quarter sabat known as Imbolc. That word Imbolc is a Scotch Gaelic word meaning “in the belly”, and witches believe it is the day of the first stirrings of the new spring in the womb of Mother Earth. The Roman Catholics know that day as Candlemass, and others know it as Groundhog Day, when the furry animal comes out of the womb of Mother Earth to see the soul shadow of the sun god and predict the birth of the new spring. That is what witches believe. It is a religion with them.

When I turned my radio on at 5:00 A.M. on February 2nd, 2005, the first news story I heard on ABC News is that there was a question arising about too much sex on television. It was mentioned that on MTV there was an average of 13 explicit sex scenes per hour. Incidentally, this time of the year is dedicated to the fertility goddess among those that have seized upon our world. The next item was that the Federal Reserve Board was meeting on that day intending to raise interest rates. In addition to that, the Pope had collapsed and was in the hospital, and President Bush had selected that day to deliver his State of the Union Address. All of this was on the witches’ sabat of Imbolc! (1)

On the 6th day of February, the Super Bowl football game was held, and it was Super Bowl XXXIX (39). I do not watch television, but I will hook up the antenna for certain things if I feel a need to do so. I tuned into the half-time program of Super Bowl 39, because I knew it had to be an occult event and it was. The number 39 is a triumviral 13 or three 13’s, and Satan would not miss this opportunity to work his plan and interact with his human stooges. Sure enough, there was Sir Paul McCartney standing on a circle of lights divided to quarter the sphere of the earth. He was wearing a red shirt with a large pentagram, which is a five-pointed star with one point up, on the front. This star represented the casting of a spell, and the 5 points represent earth, wind, fire, water, and spirit. McCartney, the former Beatle, sang four songs - two on the bass and two on the piano. The songs in order were “Drive My Car”, “Get Back”, “Live and Let Die”, and “Hey Jude.” Much could be said about all of these perverted songs, and they did form a progressive pattern, but I watched in amazement as McCartney cast a spell on the nation during the singing of “Hey Jude.” This spell was being cast, complete with hand gestures, as the words of the song filled the stadium. Everyone in the stadium was equipped with a hand-held pen light, which they held up as they joined in that evil song “Hey Jude.” (2) That song is about the drug LSD, which is a blotter drug that is administered by being absorbed through the skin, and was invented by our CIA or Central Intelligence Agency to loosen the mind. Dr. Timothy Leary, who helped to popularize the drug, stated that those who are on it are not hallucinating but are seeing another world that is really there and cannot otherwise be seen. In the song, “Hey Jude”, we find the words, “…..Remember to let her under your skin then it begins to make it better.” Tens of thousands of people sang along and received that spell designed to produce even greater cravings for drugs and sex. It was a mind bondage spell of the first magnitude.

Truly our nation is bewitched, and we find an almost universal interest in witchcraft which I why I expose the dangers of it continually. I have been threatened by witches to stop doing this, and they say that they, the witches, are not going to let me get away with it. The only people who give me more trouble than witches are professing denominational, “Christians.” Churches continue to use Harry Potter books and movies which teach children the principles of witchcraft. Recently, the Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd of Momence held a special event where the children of the church read passages of the Bible by candlelight and then watched three Harry Potter films until late into the night. The pastor, Walter Griesmeyer, said, “There is much Christian symbolism in J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter movies. In one scene Harry Potter enters Professor Dumbledore’s office, and in the corner is a dying phoenix. Suddenly the bird bursts into flames in front of Potter and his professor and turns to ashes. A baby chick is then born and rises out of the ash.” The pastor went on to say, ”This represents the resurrection of the Lord.” (3) We must remember that the phoenix bird is strictly pagan and is a doctrine of witchcraft. It represents Satan, who is called Lucifer by high-level witches. In Luke 10:18, we read as follows: “And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.” Witches believe that he will rise again from the flames and ashes and bring forth a new world order. It is a religion with them.

We are living in a time of perverted religious faith, and it is getting stranger all of the time. The London Times newspaper recently featured a story which began by saying, “People are to be tortured in laboratories at Oxford University in a United States-funded experiment to determine whether belief in God is effective in relieving pain.” The study will be administered by top neurologists, pharmacologists, anatomists, ethicists, and theologians. This is a two million dollar study funded by the John Templeton Foundation of the United States. The experiments are to involve “non-evasive simulation of burns.” Dr. Toby Collins said, “We will simulate a burn sensation to see how people, through distraction or by accessing different strategies, can modulate and reduce levels of pain. While enduring the agony, they will be exposed to religious symbols such as images of the Virgin Mary or a crucifix. Their neurological responses will be measured to determine the efficacy of their faith in helping them to cope.” (4) What is the real reason for this study to determine the pain thresholds of those who are esteemed to be “Christians”?

These are the days such as never were! Iraqis are forced to submit to eye scans for identification purposes; thus, there foreheads are digitized. (5) In Sutter, California, students at Brittan Elementary School were forced to wear around their necks radio frequency identification tags, which took automatic electronic attendance and kept track of the students at all times. (6) That program has now been stopped because of an uproar among the parents. Here let it be noted that privacy is all but gone. Cell phones are being used by the Illuminists who monitor and record all calls utilizing the many cell towers throughout our nation. Now cell phones are being especially used for smut purposes, as people by the millions use their digital picture phones to access pornographic images complete with what are called “moan tones” and other filthy sound effects. (7) All of this is designed to induce more fornication and adultery, which has already filled our land.

We know that venereal disease or STD’s are epidemic in America and much of the world. Now there is a shocking new superstrain of the AIDS virus, which is said to be unimaginably aggressive and resistant to nearly all treatment. This virus causes full-blown AIDS to set in within two months instead of years. (8) The New England Journal of Medicine is now calling for the mandatory testing of all Americans for AIDS. (9)

The Occult Ambiance of the 55th Inauguration!
The Presidential Inauguration was held on January 20, 2005, on the day that the witches’ sign of Aquarius began. It is interesting to note that when the benediction was given the speaker referred to God as the “one true power broker.” We are made to wonder which god, and what kind of power he was talking about? The inaugural address delivered by George W. Bush contained clandestine occult themes which were probably not detected by most people. One such example is located about halfway through the speech when the President said, “By our efforts, we have lit a fire as well – a fire in the minds of men. It warms those who feel its power, it burns those who fight its progress, and one day this untamed fire of freedom will reach the darkest corners of our world.” (10) That concept and those words “a fire in the minds of men” were taken directly from a novel by Dostoevsky entitled The Possessed. In this book, Dostoevsky has one of his characters say, “The fire is in the minds of men and not in the roofs of houses.” The context of the story is an unbridled will for power to seize control by a crafty manipulation of power. It is interesting to note that Fidel Castro, who knows revolutionaries and their ways since he has been one all his life, said that President Bush appeared “deranged” at his inauguration. (11)

There are other questions that should be answered regarding President Bush and his recent inauguration. Why did President Bush allow his daughter Barbara to invite the raunchy rap-rocker known as “Kid Rock” to perform at the inauguration. Kid Rock is infamous for his continual use of the “F” word and is currently dating a porn actress. Kid Rock is a big Bush fan and brags that he met the President when he, Kid Rock, was half-stoned. (12) Finally, because of media pressure, Kid Rock had to be cancelled.

President Bush stayed busy going from one gala ball to the next with his wife Laura, who was wearing a dress designed by Oscar de la Renta costing $10,000. At the Constitution Ball they danced for 66 seconds. (13) There was something about this entire event that caused suspicion around the world. People wondered why the President, his wife, and his two daughters were continually giving the el cernunno satanic salute with their hands. This sign is made when the first and last fingers are left extended like horns while the thumb holds the two middle fingers down. Some have tried to say that this is an University of Texas longhorn salute. If that is the case, the University of Texas sure has a lot of fans throughout the world. The following are some of the many who are doing and have done this identical sign: King Abdullah of Jordan, Berlusconi,- Prime Minister of Italy, Prince Charles of England, Tony Blair,- Prime Minister of England, Tom Ridge, Dan Quayle, Liz Taylor, Amy Grant, General Tommy Franks, Senator John Edwards, Anton Szander LaVey,- the late high priest of Satan, and many others. This exact same salute appears in the Satanic Bible as the “Mano Cornuto”, which signals allegiance between members of Satanism and their horned god. I have in front of me a picture from Reuters News Service showing Laura Bush giving this satanic salute with her right hand, while the President is standing next to her and giving the same sign with his left hand in a pointing position. (14) This is a sign that means “cursed be” in the occult.

Witches often talk about how easy it is to fool Americans. Americans have been sold a bill of goods regarding the leaders in Washington, who like chameleons want to blend in with their surroundings. To Christians, they want to appear to be Christian, and so it goes with every ideology and persuasion. I was once in their occult realm and will not be fooled by the pernicious masquerade that they are putting on.

There are many others who refuse to be fooled. Throughout Norway and other parts of Europe, people were asking the question: why was President Bush continually saluting Satan at his inauguration? The Norwegian newspaper Nettavisen published the headline, “Shock greeting from Bush daughter.” The article asked why she and her family were saluting Satan. (15) In Proverbs 6:12-15 we read as follows: “A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a forward mouth. He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers; Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord. Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy.” If we look up the words speaketh and teacheth in the Strong’s Concordance, we find that in this context it means to signal and to point, and that is precisely what these people are doing. It is strictly forbidden by Almighty God! We also find the following words in Job 31:26-28: “If I beheld the sun when it shined or the moon walking in brightness; And my heart hath been secretly enticed, or my mouth hath kissed my hand: This also were an iniquity to be punished by the judge: for I should have denied the God that is above.” We often see celebrities kissing their own hands and throwing kisses, which is forbidden by God and equated with Baal worship according to the Scripture we have just read!

Marshalling the Forces for World War III
Never in the history of the world has there been a greater potential for world war than exists at this present time. The United States and numerous other nations are already embroiled in bloody conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq. Now that Dr. Condaleezza Rice has become the Secretary of State, she has successfully antagonized Iran and North Korea to a fever pitch. Both of those countries have nuclear weapons. The whole world seems to be moving toward Armageddon at a great rate of speed. Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri of Lebanon was recently assassinated, and Syria is being blamed for it. (16) Syria and Iran have now united to establish a common front against the United States, and truly the nations are angry. (17) The Bible mentions this international anger in Revelation 11:18 as follows: “And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come……”

The United States has already committed acts of war and aggression against Iran by sending commandos into that country to look for nuclear weapons. (18) The New York Daily News has reported that the United States is ready to attack Iran. (19) Iran has clearly stated that they will never scrap their nuclear program. (20) Meanwhile, the United States continues to send drone aircraft into Iran to spy on and antagonize the Iranians. (21) We also know that both Iran and Red China have been buying air-to-ground cruise missiles from the Ukraine. (22) Iranian President Mohammad Khatami recently addressed tens of thousands of Iranians and said, “The Islamic Republic of Iran does not seek war, violence, or confrontation. Any invaders will face a burning hell.” (23)

It seems the whole Middle East is a powder keg waiting to go off, but there are other concerns as well. The Associated Press recently reported that Russia and Red China are preparing for massive joint military maneuvers on Chinese soil. (24) There is full-scale military build-up going on, and it is for a reason. The kings of the East are rising up and flexing their muscles. North Korea has not only clearly stated that it has nuclear weapons, but we also know that North Korea has been selling uranium to Libya. (25)

Strangely enough, we live in a world that is preparing for war in the name of peace. The whole world is realigning, and the United States of Europe is now a reality. That fact in itself should make us pray. The Northern Army or NATO is a reality and is the powerful force of the European Union. I watched with amazement when the Constitution of the European Union was signed in Rome under a large black image of a Roman Catholic Pope. This image looks like Satan himself, and one can feel the intense evil as you look at it. This signing took place two days before Halloween in 2004. Now the European constitution is scheduled to be taken into space by Italian astronaut Roberto Vittori, who is scheduled to blast off from Kazakhstan on April 15th, 2005. (26)

Shocking News from the Israeli State!
A major change in Israeli governance has taken place recently. A governing body has suddenly appeared which has not existed for 1600 years. On January 20th, 2005, the same day of the U.S. Presidential inauguration, the Sanhedrin was launched in Tiberias. A unique ceremony convened 71 rabbis who received special rabbinic ordination as specified by Maimonides. This Sanhedrin is to be the religious ruling body in the State of Israel. (27) Here let it be noted that it was the Sanhedrin that condemned the Lord Jesus to death and gave the apostles of Jesus so much trouble, especially the Apostle Paul.

The newly formed Sanhedrin also convened on February 9th, 2005, to discuss and determine the exact location of the former great temple in Jerusalem. The purpose of making this determination is to rebuild the temple and re-establish temple worship according to Rabbi Chaim Richman. (28) One of the problems faced by the Sanhedrin is that it appears that the temple would need to be built on the spot where the Islamic Dome of the Rock Mosque now stands. Quite obviously, if anything is done to destroy that mosque, all hell would break loose as over one billion Moslems would be outraged. Time is short, and our minds and hearts should be considering the question: Where will I spend eternity?

Final Seizures in a Convulsive Creation!
Since the recent great earthquake on December 26th, 2004, the earth has never been the same. Entire islands have been moved out of their places including the Island of Sumatra, which is 1,060 miles long and 250 miles wide. (29) This fact explains why an U.S. submarine slammed into rocky ground recently. The U.S.S. San Francisco hit rocks causing one death and over sixty injuries. This was reported in the New York Times on January 12th, 2005. (30) While the U.S. Navy is looking for a “fall guy” to take the blame, they need to remember that the great earthquake has forever changed the Pacific Ocean, and the rocks and land that the submarine hit were not there before and were not factored into the coordinates.

The great quake did not only affect the Pacific but most of the world. The quake was felt 1,300 feet beneath Florida and raised the underground water table of Florida 4 inches. (31)

The earthquakes in divers or various places continue at an amazing rate of intensity and frequency. On January 10, 2005, Northern Iran was hit with a magnitude 5.8 quake. (32) Other recent quakes of this new year of 2005 include: Northern Japan, January 18, magnitude 6.3; New Zealand, January 20, magnitude 5.5; Eastern Turkey, January 25, magnitude 5.5; and numerous others. (33) There has never been such instability of the earth’s crust. India’s Andaman Islands were shaken by 28 aftershocks in 24 hours on January 28th, 2005. (34) On February 6th, the Philippines shook under a 7.1 magnitude quake. (35)

While studying the earthquake situation and thinking about the words of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, who clearly warned us that numerous earthquakes in divers places would be a sign of the end of the world, I checked with the U.S. Geological Survey and found some amazing statistics. In just one sample week, the first week of February, which is one of the most occult weeks of the year; there were exactly 66 earthquakes with a magnitude of 4 and above. Many of them were magnitudes 5, 6, and 7. (36) The quakes continued in the second week of February with a strong quake near Vanuatu on February 8th with a magnitude of 6.7. On that same day, there were two quakes that jolted Tunisia. (37) There are so many more earthquakes happening every day that I cannot publish them in this newsletter. Never has it been this way before.

On December 30th, 2004, a noted Russian scientist warned the world that another giant earthquake and tsunami is imminent in the regions near the equator in both the Eastern and Western hemispheres. Dr. Evgeny Dolginov warned that cracks in the earth’s core will soon bring serious seismic cataclysms. (38)

With volcanoes continuing to erupt, polar ice caps melting, and freak weather throughout the world, shouldn’t people begin to take notice? Are not all of these things that are happening a clear and stern warning for sinful man to repent? Scientists are now saying that global temperatures will rise as much as 11 degrees Celsius producing disastrous results. (39)

Another alarming report was recently issued by noted scientists stating that our sun is dimming! According to Dr. Gerry Stanhill, an English scientist working in Israel, sunlight is diminishing continually, and since 1950 we have lost a staggering 22 percent. (40) I am reminded of the words of Matthew 24:29 which read as follows: “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.”

There are many signs in the heavens, and NASA scientists have recently published reports of more and more black holes in space that are literally ripping stars apart and pulling portions of them into their dense cores. Scientists have stated that the black holes are deforming space and time surrounding them. (41)

In addition to the black holes ripping stars apart, stars are also zooming out and away from our Milky Way galaxy. According to Dr. Warren Brown, an astronomer at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, this has never happened before. (42) It appears that our very galaxy is beginning to deteriorate and the scientists have given these wandering stars a name. They are called “outcast stars.” In Jude verse 13, we read, Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever.” So it is with those that oppose the Almighty, and He is using these very signs to warn us all!

As I close, I want to thank all of you whose support this end-time ministry in so many ways. May God bless you for helping us. We remain available to give your prayer requests individual attention. Grace and peace be unto you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

David J. Meyer
