The Eagle & the Serpents - Micheal Boldea Jr. Oct. 15, 2004

The Eagle and the Serpents (The Angel said, "this has been revealed to you, that you may know, the first bite has been, the second is yet to come, and the third will be its destruction.")

Psalm 34:7-8, "The angel of the Lord encamps all around those who fear Him, and delivers them. Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him! Oh, fear the Lord, you His saints! There is no want to those who fear Him."

Upon my return to the United States in late August, I had a very vivid and troubling dream. I shared it with the staff here in Wisconsin, and with a few other brothers, but continued to pray and seek direction from God as to whether or not I should include it in the newsletter.

At the staff's urging, and feeling a release from the Lord, I have included this dream in this issue of the newsletter.

I dreamt I was walking through a sparsely wooded forest, and suddenly my attention was drawn to an eagle flying high above the tree line. It was a beautiful sight to behold as the eagle rode the thermals, flying in slow lazy arks across the blue sky. I began to quicken my pace, and keep up with the eagle's flight, all the while keeping an eye on it, noticing that it was slowly descending toward the earth. I followed it for a long time, its descend not being sudden but very gradual.

Finally I came upon a small clearing, where there were no trees, just some bushes on the edges of the green grass. The eagle landed in the clearing, and began to look around not seeming to notice me.

As I began to wonder what the relevance of this was, a man dressed in white, hands clasped in front of him, appeared beside me, and said, "Be patient, in due time you will see the purpose."

I was silent as I watched the eagle, and was beginning to grow somewhat impatient, when suddenly, it seemed out of nowhere, a brown snake lunged at the eagle, and bit down on its left wing. The snake's strike was very quick and very precise. The eagle reacted without delay, clawing and pecking at the snake cutting deep wounds in its underbelly, trying to defend itself and ward off the serpent. Just as it seemed the eagle was winning the battle, and the serpent was retreating, another serpent appeared, red and black diagonal stripes covering its body, and without hesitation struck out at the eagle's right wing, biting down, and refusing to release. After a momentary tug of war the serpent tore off flesh and feathers, leaving a large wound on the eagle's right wing. The second bite was much worse then the first, and for an instant the eagle was stunned. Then a serpent much larger than the previous two, made up of many colors, slithered toward the eagle, opened its jaws, and lunged, taking the whole of the eagle's head in its mouth before biting down.

The serpents retreated and the man who had been standing beside me, walked to the eagle, knelt down, picked it up, and held it in his cupped hands. The look of grief on his face was beyond any I have seen in my life. Just seeing the look on the man's face broke your heart.

The man continued to look down at the eagle, and with a pained voice said, "The true tragedy, is that at any moment it could have sought the safety of the above, it could have soared toward the heavens and would have found its protection. This has been revealed to you, that you may know, the first bite has been, the second is yet to come, and the third will be its destruction."

I watched for a long time as the man held the eagle in the palms of his hands, the pained expression never leaving his features. I was too stunned to speak, or ask any questions, what I had seen having seemed so real. The feeling followed me into my waking hours as well, and each time I closed my eyes I saw the entire scene play before my eyes throughout the day.

One thing that I feel I need to share with you is that the second bite seemed to come from an unexpected place. Although I have my own opinion concerning this, I choose to keep it to myself, because expounding on personal opinion is a dangerous thing when it comes to things that God reveals.

I was hesitant in sharing this dream, because I know some will perceive it as a reason to fear. It is not a reason to fear, but a reason to be stirred, and emboldened for the kingdom of God. The reality, is that these are the times we are living in, and I for one am thankful to God for his forewarnings, knowing that His children will never be unaware of what the future holds. All I can do is urge you to be watchful, and diligent in your prayers to the Father. This nation, today, is more in need of prayer on its behalf than at any time in its history. It is the prayers of His children that compels God to relent, and tarry. Stand in the gap, you are precious in the eyes of God, and He hears your heartfelt supplications.

Joel 2:12-14, "Now, therefore, says the Lord, turn to Me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning. So rend your heart, and not your garments; Return to the Lord your God for He is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness; and He relents from doing harm."

With love in Christ,

China & Russia Strike - Dumitru Duduman

April 22, 1996

I prayed. then went to bed. I was still awake, when suddenly I heard a trumpet sound. A voice cried out to me, "Stand!"

In my vision, I was in America. I walked out out of home, and began to look for the one who had spoken to me. As I looked, I saw three men dressed alike. Two of the men carried weapons. One of the armed men came to me. "I woke you to show you what is to come," he said. "Come with me."

I didn't know where I was being taken, but when we reached a certain place he said, "Stop here!"
A pair of binoculars was handed to me, and I was told to look through them.

"Stand there, don't move, and look," he continued. "You will see what they are saying, and what they are preparing for America."

As I was looking, I saw a great light. A dark cloud appeared over it. I saw the president of Russia, a short, chubby man, who said he was the president of China, and two others. the last two also said where they were from, but I did not understand. However, I gathered they were part of Russian controlled territory. The men stepped out of the cloud.

The Russian president began to speak to the Chinese one. "I will give you the land with all the people, but you must free Taiwan of the Americans. Do not fear, we will attack them from behind."

A voice said to me, "Watch where the Russians penetrate America." Then I saw these words being written: Alaska, Minnesota, Florida.

Then the man spoke again," When America goes to war with China, the Russians will strike without warning."

The other two presidents spoke, "We, too, will fight for you." Each had a place already planned as a point of attack. All of them shook hands and hugged. Then they all signed a contract.

One of them said, "We're sure that Korea and Cuba will be on our side, too. Without a doubt, together, we can destroy America."

The president of Russia began to speak insistently, "Why let ourselves be led by the Americans? Why not rule the world ourselves? They have to be kicked out of Europe, too! Then I could do as I please with Europe!"

The man standing beside me said, "This is what you saw: they act as friends, and say they respect the treaties made together. But everything I've shown you is how it will REALLY happen. You must tell them what is being planned against America. Then, when it comes to pass, the people will remember the words the Lord has spoken."

"Who are you?" I asked.
"I am the protector of America. America's sin has reached God. He will allow this destruction, for He can no longer stand such wickedness. God, however, still has people that worship Him with a clean heart as they do His work. He has prepared a heavenly army to save these people."

As I looked, a great army, well armed and dressed in white, appeared before me. "Do you see that?" the man asked. "This army will go to battle to save My chosen ones. Then, the difference between the Godly and the ungodly will be evident.

Henery Gruvers 1985 & 1990 visions of an attack on U.S.A.

If a country sins against Me by committing unfaithfulness,
and I stretch out My hand against it, destroy its supply of bread,
send famine against it and cut off from it both man and beast,
even though these three men, Noah, Daniel and Job were in its midst
by their own righteousness they could only deliver themselves,
declares the Lord God. Ezekiel 14:12-14


Henry Gruver's 1985 VISION January, 1990

I was in Wales, on December 14, 1985.
I went up on top of the Eagle tower in the Caenarvon Castle.
It had eight points on it. Each of the points all it were eroded eagles.
This castle was built in the 12th century.

I was overlooking the Irish Sea toward the North Sea
Norway, Sweden, Denmark, the tip of Scotland, Greenland, Iceland in that area.

All of a sudden I was up above the Earth looking down upon the earth
like a globe. As I looked down on the earth, I saw all of these massive
amount of all kinds of ships and airplanes. They were coming from up
above Norway, out of this inlet.

They headed down between the United States and Europe.
They literally covered the whole Atlantic.



Then I wanted to see what was happening to the United States.
I looked over on the globe at the United States.
I saw coming out of the United States these radio communication towers.
I saw the jagged lines I like they draw to show that communications are coming out.
All of a sudden, as I was looking down on them they began to sparkle
down on the earth like dust. I thought
"Oh no! They are not getting through!
They don't know what is happening! They are totally oblivious!"


Then I began to see all of these submarines emerging from under the surface.
I was surprised at how close they were to our boarders! They
were in our territorial waters! Then I saw the missiles come out of them!
They hit eastern coastal cities of the United States.

I looked over across the country where my family was over in the
northwest side, and I saw the submarines. I saw the missiles coming out
and hitting the western coastal cities.

I cried out and I said, Oh God! Oh God! When will this be, and what
shall be the sign of its coming?"

I heard an audible voice speak to me amid say, "When Russia opens her
doors and lets the masses go. The free world will occupy themselves with
transporting, housing and feeding and caring for the masses, and will
lets down their weapons and cry peace and safety. Then sudden
destruction will come. Then is, when it will come."

That was December 14, 1984. Glastnost and Parastroika were unheard of at that time!

1 Thessalonians 5:3
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.

Ezekiel 38
Thus saith the Lord GOD, It shall also come to pass, that at the same time
shall things come into the mind. and thou shalt think an evil thought.
And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages;
I will go to them that are at rest. that dwell safely, all of them dwelling
without walls and having neither bars nor gates. To take a spoil,
and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places
that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations,
which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.
Sheba, and Dedan (Saudi Arabia) and the merchants of Tarshish, (Britain)
with all the young lions shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil?
Have you gathered thy company to take a prey? To carry away silver and gold,
to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?

Amos 3:7
Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets.


January 1990 VISION
St Johns, North Portland, Oregon

I saw missiles coming out of the waters of the Pacific Ocean,
airplanes coming in towards certain cities along the Northwest.
When it looked like they would do their devastation,
I heard a voice speak from heaven, like thunder. It said,
“Watch what I will do!”

The mountains along the coastal range began to shake and tremble
and puffs of smoke shot out of them in all directions,
into the paths of the missiles and the planes.
The missiles just hit the ground, didn’t explode.
The smoke had destroyed the missiles ability to navigate,
to fly through the air, and they didn’t hit their targets.
It was also like shields or domes came over certain cities.
Even the contaminated air couldn’t go into those areas.
It went around them.

I saw many vehicles coming in on our waters,
like ships opened up in the front, and all these personnel,
carrying things, came out armored, right up on our beaches,
and all these thousands of people began to head out.
I saw the proud look on the faces of those that were driving the vehicles.
I heard, again, the thunderous voice from the heavens,

“Watch what I will do!”

Suddenly, mountains puffed out smoke,
and rivers of golden lava began flowing down a path,
right across the beaches in front of the invaders.
Terror came on their faces, and they turned back and
headed to the sea, fleeing for their lives,
as the waters behind them turned to steam.
And the Lord said,

“I have people in this land that I will not let them touch,
for they are Mine! They are My chosen,
and I will keep My chosen safe!
For I have a work for them to do yet in this land,
and in many lands.”


2 Chronicles 20:20
Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established.
believe his prophets. so shall ye prosper.

Matthew 18:16
But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more,
that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.

Isaiah 29:6, Isaiah 30:32, Isaiah 31:2-9
Matthew 27:50-54, 1 Samuel 14:1-16
Revelation 6:12, 11:13-19, 16:18

My vision of the destruction of America; A.A. Allen July 4th, 1954

As God said through the prophet Joel, "And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh; and your sonsand your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, youryoung men shall see visions." So today, as we approach the end of the age and the time of the Lord's return, God is speaking through His people with dreams and visions. The following vision was received by Evangelist A.A. Allen on July 4, 1954.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


As I stood atop the Empire State Building, I could see the Statue of
Liberty, illuminating the gateway to the new world. Here, spread
before me like an animated map, is an area sixty or eighty miles in
diameter. I was amazed that the Spirit of the Lord should so move me,
there atop the Empire State Building. Why should I feel such a surge
of His Spirit and power there?
Suddenly I heard the voice of the Lord. It was as clear and as
distinct as a voice could be. It seemed to come from the very midst of
the giant telescope. But when I looked at the telescope, I knew it
hadn't come from there, but directly from heaven. The voice said,
"The eyes of the lord run to and fro throughout the whole
earth, to show himself strong in behalf of them whose heart
is perfect toward Him. Herein you have done foolishly.
Therefore, from henceforth, you shall have wars."
Immediately when I heard the voice of God, I knew this was a
quotation of Scripture. But never before had a thing come to me so
forcibly by the power of the Spirit. The ticking of the telescope
stopped. The man before me had used up his dimes worth. As he stepped
away I knew that I was next. As I stepped to the telescope and
dropped in my dime, immediately the ticking started again. This
ticking was an automatic clock which would allow me to use the
telescope for a definitely limited time only.
As I swung the telescope to the North, suddenly the Spirit of God
came upon me in a way that I had never thought of before. Seemingly
in the spirit I was entirely caught away. I knew that the telescope
itself had nothing to do with the distance which I was suddenly
enabled to see, for I seemed to see things far beyond the range of the
telescope, even on a bright clear day. It was simply that God had
chosen this time to reveal these things to me, for as I looked through
the telescope, it was not Manhattan Island that I saw, but a far
larger view.
That morning, much of the view was impaired by fog. But suddenly as
the Spirit of the Lord came upon me the fog seemed to clear, until it
seemed that I could see for thousands of miles.
But that which I was looking upon was not Manhattan island, it was
all of the North American Continent spread out before me as a map is
spread upon a table, it was not the East River and the Hudson River
that I saw on either side, but the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans.
And instead of the Statue of Liberty standing there in the bay on her
small island I saw her standing far out in the Gulf of Mexico. She was
between me and the United States.
I suddenly realized that the telescope had nothing to do with what I
was seeing, but that it was a vision coming directly from God. And to
prove this to myself I took my eyes away from the telescope, so that I
was no longer looking through the lens, but the same scene remained
before me.
There, clear and distinct, lay all the North American Continent, with
all it's great cities. To the North lay the Great Lakes. Far to the
Northeast was New York City. I could see Seattle and Portland far to
the Northwest. Down the West Coast, there were San Francisco and Los
Angeles. Closer in the foreground, there lay New Orleans, at the
center of the Gulf Coast area. I could see the great towering ranges
of the Rocky Mountains, and trace with my eye the Continental Divide.
All this and more, I could see spread out before me as a great map
upon a table.
And as l looked, suddenly from the sky I saw a giant hand reach down.
That gigantic hand was reaching out toward the Statue of Liberty. In a
moment her gleaming torch was torn from her hand, and in it instead
was placed a cup. And I saw protruding from that great cup, a giant
sword, shining as if a great light had been turned upon its glistening
edge. Never before had I seen such a sharp, glistening, dangerous
sword. lt seemed to threaten all the world. As the great cup was
placed in the hand of the Statue of Liberty, I heard these words,
"Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Drink ye and be
drunken, spue and fall, and rise no more, because of the sword
which I will send" As I heard these words, I recognized
them as a quotation from Jeremiah 25:7.
I was amazed to hear the Statue of Liberty speak out in reply,
"I WILL NOT DRINK!" Then as the voice of the thunder, I
heard again the voice of the Lord, saying, "Thus saith the
Lord of Hosts, YE SHALL CERTAINLY
DRINK." (Jer.25:28) Then suddenly the giant hand forced the
cup to the lips of the Statue of Liberty, and she became powerless to
defend herself. The mighty hand of God forced her to drink every drop
from the cup. As she drank the bitter dregs, these were the words
that I heard, "Should you be utterly unpunished? You shall not be
unpunished: for I will call for a sword upon all the
inhabitants of the earth, saith the Lord of Hosts."
(Jer.25:29) When the cup was withdrawn from the lips of the Statue of
Liberty, I noticed the sword was missing from the cup, which could
mean but one thing. THE CONTENTS OF THE CUP HAD BEEN COMPLETELY
CONSUMED! I knew that the sword merely typified war, death, and
destruction, which is no doubt on the way.
Then as one drunken on too much wine, I saw the Statue of Liberty
become unsteady on
her feet and begin to stagger, and to lose her balance. I saw her
splashing in the Gulf, trying to regain her balance. I saw her
stagger again and again, and fall to her knees. As I saw her
desperate attempts to regain her balance, and rise to her feet again,
my heart was moved as never before with compassion for her struggles.
But as she staggered there in the gulf, once again I heard these
words, "Ye shall drink and be drunken, and spue, and fall, and rise no
more because of the sword that I shall send among you."
As I watched, I wondered if the Statue of Liberty would ever be able
to regain her feet - if she would ever stand again. And as I watched,
it seemed that with all her power she struggled to rise, and finally
staggered to her feet again, and stood there swaying drunkenly. I
felt sure that at any moment she would fall again - possibly never to
rise. I seemed overwhelmed with a desire to reach out my hand to keep
her head above water, for I knew that if she ever fell again she would
drown there in the Gulf.
"Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night, nor for the
pestilence that walketh in darkness, nor for the destruction
that wastes at noonday." Psalms 91:5,6.
Then as I watched, another amazing thing was taking place. Far to
the Northwest, just out over Alaska, a huge, black cloud was arising.
As it rose, it was as black as night. It seemed to be in the shape of
a man's head. As it continued to arise, I observed two light spots in
the black cloud. It rose further, and a gaping hole appeared. I
could see that the black cloud was taking the shape of a skull, for
now the huge, white, gaping mouth was plainly visible. Finally the
head was complete. Then the shoulders began to appear and on either
side long, black arms.,
It seemed that what I saw was the entire North American
Continent,
spread out like a map upon a table with this terrible skeleton-formed
cloud arising from behind the table. It rose steadily until the form
was visible down to the waist. At the waist, the skeleton seemed to
bend towards the United States, stretching forth a hand toward the
East and one toward the West - one toward New York and one toward
Seattle. As the awful form stretched forward, I could see that the
entire attention seemed to be focused upon the U.S., overlooking
Canada at least for the time being. As I saw the horrible black cloud
in the form of a skeleton bending towards America, bending from the
waist over, reaching down toward Chicago and out towards both coasts,
I knew it's one interest was to destroy the multitudes.
As I watched in horror, the great black cloud stopped just above
the great lakes region, and turned it's face towards New York City.
Then out of the horrible, great gaping mouth began to appear wisps of
white vapor which looked like smoke, as a cigarette smoker would blow
puffs of smoke from his mouth. These whitish vapors were being blown
toward New York City. The smoke began to spread, until it had covered
all the eastern part of the United States.
Then the skeleton turned to the West, and out of the horrible
mouth and nostrils came another great puff of white smoke. This time
it was blown in the direction of the West Coast. In a few moments
time, the entire West Coast and L.A. area was covered with it's vapors
Then towards the center came a third great puff. As I watched,
St. Louis and Kansas City were enveloped in its white vapors. Then on
it came towards New Orleans. Then on they swept until they reached
the Statue of Liberty where she stood staggering drunkenly in The blue
waters of The Gulf. As the white vapors began to spread around The
head of the statue, she took in but one gasping breath, and then began
to cough as though to rid her lungs of the horrible vapors she had
inhaled. One could readily discern by the coughing that those white
vapors had seared her lungs.
What were these white vapors? Could they signify bacteriological
warfare or nerve gas that could destroy multitudes of people in a few
moments time?
Then I heard the voice of God, as He spoke again: "Behold, the Lord
maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside
down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof,. And it
shall be, as with the people. so with The priest; as with the
servant, so with his master; as with the buyer, so with the
seller, as with the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury
to him. The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly
spoiled : for The Lord has spoken this word. The earth
mourneth and fadeth away, The world languisheth and fadeth away,
the haughty people of the earth do languish . The earth also is
defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have
transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the
everlasting covenant. Therefore has the curse devoured the
earth and they that dwell therein are desolate; therefore the
inhabitants of the earth are burned and few men are left."
(Isa.24:1-6)
As I watched, the coughing grew worse. It sounded like a person
was about to cough out his lungs. The Statue was moaning and
groaning. She was in mortal agony. The pain must have been terrific,
as again and again, she tried to clear her lungs of those horrible
white vapors. I watched her there in the Gulf, as she staggered,
clutching her lungs and her breast with her hands. Then she fell to
her knees. In a moment, she gave one final cough, and made a last
desperate effort to rise from her knees, and then fell face forward
into the waters of The Gulf and lay still as death. Tears ran down my
face as I realized that she was dead! Only The lapping of The waves,
splashing over her body, which was partly under the water, and partly
out of water, broke the silence.
"A fire devoureth before them, and behind them a flame
burneth;
the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind
them, a desolate wilderness." Joel 2:3
Suddenly the silence was shattered by the screaming of sirens.
The sirens seemed to scream, "RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!"
Never before had I heard such shrill, screaming sirens. They
seemed
to be everywhere - to the North, South, the East and the West. There
seemed to be multitudes of sirens. And as I looked, I saw people
everywhere running. But it seemed none of them ran more than a few
paces, and then they fell. And even as I had seen the Statue
struggling to regain her poise and balance, and finally falling to die
on her face, I now saw millions of people falling in the streets, on
the sidewalks, struggling. I heard their screams for mercy and help.
I heard their horrible coughing as though their lungs had been seared
with fire. I heard the moanings and groanings of the doomed and the
dying. As I watched, a few finally reached shelters, and above the
moaning and groanings, I heard these words:
"A noise shall come even to the ends of the earth for the Lord has
a controversy with the nations. He will plead with all flesh; He
will give them that are wicked to the sword, saith the Lord.
Behold evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great
whirlwind shall be raised up from the coasts of The earth.
And The slain of the Lord shall be at that day from one end of
the earth even onto the other end of the earth: they shall not
be lamented neither gathered nor buried; they shall be dung
upon the ground. (Jer. 25:31-33)
Then suddenly I saw from the Atlantic and from the Pacific, and
out of the Gulf, rocket-like objects that seemed to come up like fish
leaping out of the water . High into the air they leaped, each headed
in a different direction, but every one towards The U.S. On The
ground, the sirens screamed louder. And up from the ground I saw
similar rockets begin to ascend. To me, these appeared to be
interceptor rockets although they arose from different points all over
the U.S. However, none of them seemed to be successful in intercepting
the rockets that had risen from the ocean on every side. These
rockets finally reached their maximum height, slowly turned over, and
fell back toward the earth in defeat. Them suddenly, the rockets
which had leaped out of the ocean like fish all exploded at once. The
explosion was ear- splitting. The next thing which I saw was a huge
ball of fire. The only thing I have ever seen which resembled the
thing I saw in my vision was the picture of the explosion of the
H-bomb in the South Pacific. In my vision, it was so real I seemed to
fell a searing heat from it.
As the vision spread before my eyes, and I viewed the widespread
desolation brought about by the terrific explosions, I could not help
thinking, " While the defenders of our nation have quibbled over what
means of defense to use, and neglected the only true means of defense,
faith and dependence upon the true and living God, the thing which she
greatly feared has come unto her! How true it has proven that "Except
the Lord keep The city, The watchman watches but in vain."
Then as the noise of the battle subsided, to my ears cam this
quotation from Joel, the second chapter, "Blow ye the trumpet in
Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the
inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD
cometh, for it is nigh at hand;
A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick
darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people
and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall
be any more after it, even to the years of many
generations.
A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth:
the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a
desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them.
The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as
horsemen, so shall they run..." (Joel 2:4).

Louella on 'Fanatics and Peace lovers past & preasant'.

A man whose family was German aristocracy prior to
World War 2 owned a number of large industries and
estates. When asked how many German people were
true Nazis, the answer he gave can guide our
attitude toward fanaticism.

"Very few people were true Nazis "he said," but many
enjoyed the return of German pride, and many more
were too busy to care. I was one of those who just
thought the Nazis were a bunch of fools. So, the
majority just sat back and let it all happen. Then,
before we knew it, they owned us, and we had lost
control, and the end of the world had come. My
family lost everything. I ended up in a
concentration camp and the Allies destroyed my
factories."

We are told again and again by "experts" and
"talking heads" that Islam is the religion of
peace, and that the vast majority of Muslims just
want to live in peace.

Although this unqualified assertion may be true, it
is entirely irrelevant. It is meaningless fluff,
meant to make us feel better, and meant to somehow
diminish the specter of fanatics rampaging across
the globe in the name of Islam The fact is that
the fanatics rule Islam at this moment in history.

It is the fanatics who march. It is the fanatics who
wage any one of 50 shooting wars worldwide. It is
the fanatics who systematically slaughter Christian
or tribal groups throughout Africa and are
gradually taking over the entire continent in an
Islamic wave. It is the fanatics who bomb, behead,
murder, or honor kill. It is the fanatics who take
over mosque after mosque. It is the fanatics who
zealously spread the stoning and hanging of rape
victims and homosexuals. The hard quantifiable fact
is that the "peaceful majority" the "silent
majority" is cowed and extraneous.

Communist Russia comprised Russians who just wanted
to live in peace, yet the Russian Communists were
responsible for the murder of about 20 million
people. The peaceful majority were irrelevant.
China's huge population, it was peaceful as well,
but Chinese Communists managed to kill a staggering
70 million people.

The average Japanese individual prior to World War 2
was not a warmongering sadist. Yet, Japan murdered
and slaughtered its way across South East Asia in
an orgy of killing that included the systematic
murder of 12 million Chinese civilians; most killed
by sword, shovel and bayonet.

And, who can forget Rwanda, which collapsed into
butchery. Could it not be said that the majority of
Rwandans were "peace loving"?

History lessons are often incredibly simple and
blunt, yet for all our powers of reason we often
miss the most basic and uncomplicated of points:
Peace-loving Muslims have been made irrelevant by
their silence.

Peace-loving Muslims will become our enemy if they
don't speak up, because like my friend from
Germany, they will awake one day and find that the fanatics own
them, and the end of their world will have begun.

Peace-loving Germans, Japanese, Chinese, Russians,
Rwandans, Serbs, Afghans, Iraqis, Palestinians,
Somalis, Nigerians, Algerians, and many others have died
because the peaceful majority did not speak up until
it was too late.

As for us who watch it all unfold; we must pay
attention to the only group that counts; the
fanatics who threaten our way of life.

Lastly, at the risk of offending, anyone who doubts
that the issue is serious and just deletes this
email without sending it on, can contribute to the passiveness
that allows the problems to expand.

So, extend yourself a bit and send this on and on
and on!! Let us hope that thousands, world wide,
read this - think about it - and send it on.

In His hands

Subject: PHOTO TAKEN IN KENTUCKY

Cara Winship sent this out it is called: God's hands.

I took this picture on Hwy 30, traveling to London , KY. It has given me
strength in the times of trouble. I feel I should share it with the rest of
the world. I hope it is an inspiration to you. It just goes to show what
we already know.... We have a God and he's watching over us.

I e-mailed this picture to News Chanel 36. I was contacted by
Meteorologist John James. He said that this picture of the sky is
showing up, in all states, around the world. He wanted to know where
I was from and where I took it. He saw a similar picture taken in Texas.
He said this is amazing to him!

The Dragon Stirs

Now, for something from a totally different perspective (or maybe not)...

The Dragon Stirs

I experienced the following vision:

I seemed to be high up in the heavens, looking down upon the earth. The earth appeared as a globe to my eyes. The Lord was standing next to me. I saw a huge golden dragon on the earth that appeared to be asleep. For some reason, though, I sensed the dragon was very aware of all that was transpiring around it.

"What is this dragon?" I asked the Lord.

"It is the spirit of a nation," the Lord replied.

I then saw groups of men and women of every nation and nationality converging upon a certain spot on the earth. They were entering into a large meeting room. Yet, a few of the men and women first met with one another secretly and privately before the big group meeting. I watched as they solemnly nodded, and shook hands.

I then saw as the dragon opened one red tinged eye, stirred slightly, and gazed fixedly at this smaller group of men and women. The group of men and women who had met with one another in secret, joined the rest of the men and women in the large room. The dragon closed its eye, and appeared to go back to sleep. Yet I was once again pricked with the uneasy sensation that the dragon was not truly asleep, but was in fact very aware of all that was going on around it.

The men and women in the large meeting room appeared to be discussing and debating heated issues. There were piles of papers in front of each person, and they were reading and reciting from these papers. The debates and discussions became more and more heated. I watched as a small group of people from two nations got to their feet, and walked from the room. Pandemonium broke out after their departure.

"Who were those people who just walked out?" I asked the Lord.

"The Americans and the Israelis," the Lord replied.

Once again, the dragon opened one of its eyes and surveyed this scene that was taking place. The dragon appeared to give a small smile of satisfaction. The dragon stirred slightly, and almost without appearing to do so, moved itself in a soft slithering motion into the large meeting room. It then curled itself back up, shut its eye, and once again appeared to fall back asleep. Yet from its very stillness, I once again sensed very strongly that the dragon was indeed awake and aware. I experienced a very sinister feeling in regard to this dragon.

The large group disbursed after a time of more heated debates and discussions. After the large meeting broke up, the small group of men and women who had met secretly and privately, met with each other once again. A few of them then met with a new set of people. After a time of talking, they all nodded, shook hands, and left. While these other meetings were transpiring, the dragon stirred once again and stared through one opened eye at these people. After the people left, the golden dragon slithered softly and silently from the scene.

"Who are these people who keep meeting secretly?" I asked the Lord. "They are the leaders of certain nations," the Lord replied. "They have their own agenda. Their agenda is quite different from what was taking place in the larger meeting. What they speak with their lips, and what is actually in their mind to do, are quite different."

As I continued to gaze down at the earth, I began to see what appeared to be veins and tunnels running through certain sections of the earth. I was puzzled and perplexed as to what these veins and tunnels represented. "What are these veins and tunnels?" I asked the Lord.

"They are secret entrances into certain cities and countries," the Lord replied. "What you are observing is a very detailed network of undercover agents and operatives. Much planning has gone into this network. Many nations are involved in this network. There is an even smaller number of nations who have an even more secret and sinister agenda than this present network. This smaller group of nations is using what is being made available to them to further their agenda, but they have already made plans to one day dispose of those they are presently using. This is a sinister plot of tremendous evil in high places."

A chill spread through my body at the Lord's words.

I then saw as small groups of darkly cloaked people began to appear on the veins and tunnels I had just noticed. The people and the veins and tunnels appeared to be highly organized.

"Who are these people?" I asked the Lord.

"Mercenaries," the Lord replied. "They are the puppets of the smaller groups of people who met in secret that you observed previously."

I then saw the golden dragon in the heavens where I was. We appeared to be in the outer space region around the earth, for I saw the moon and stars, and the sky was very dark. The golden dragon was breaking up and hurling a large object from the sky. This large object looked like some sort of a giant satellite.

"What is this large object?" I asked the Lord.

"It was a defense mechanism your country was setting in place," the Lord replied. "Making it inoperable was one of the items that was discussed by the small group of people you observed."

The dragon then flew swiftly and silently through the dark sky and landed in a country I saw was the country of China. The dragon then met with groups of people from its own nation. After their meetings were finished, I saw as other people from other nations joined them, and new discussions began. I was extremely perturbed and puzzled as I saw these meetings transpiring.

"What is happening here?" I asked the Lord.

"The fate of your country, as well as other countries, is being discussed," the Lord replied. "There is an agenda. There is a plan. These people you are observing operate on many different levels, but each of them has their own agenda."

After the groups of people left China, there were more meetings with groups of Chinese people. The dragon was now fully awake.

When the meetings were over, I watched as the dragon silently slithered from the meeting room. When it was outside, I saw as the golden dragon flew into the sky, gave a tremendous roar, opened wide its mouth, and began to devour and swallow whole nations. To my amazement, most of the people of these nations appeared totally oblivious to the fact that they were being swallowed and devoured.

"What is this?" I asked the Lord. "What's happening here?"

"This is China's secret and hidden agenda," the Lord replied. "The dragon will use whoever and whatever it can avail itself of to further its own agenda. It will work from within nations, seemingly as a harmless friend seeking to strengthen and promote political ties. Yet at the end, the dragon will seek to devour all in its path. It will turn on all who have secretly conspired with it. It will come up against your nation, and the nation of Israel also," the Lord continued. "These will be troublesome times."

"When, Lord?" I asked. "When will these things be?"

"It has already begun," the Lord replied. "He who has ears to hear, let him hear what My Spirit is speaking to My children. He who has eyes to see, let him see what is transpiring in the spiritual realm. Be alert. Be prepared. Be on guard. Be not deceived by any means."

For the first time became aware of an extremely large angel standing next to the Lord and I. This angel had a large, drawn sword in its hand. The sword was like a flame of fire.

"Who is this angel?" I asked the Lord, "and what is this flaming sword in his hand?"

"This is the destroying angel," the Lord replied, "and the sword of the Lord."

I then saw as groups of people began to cry out warnings to the world.

"Who are these people?" I asked the Lord.

"My messengers and prophets," the Lord replied.

I heard as one group of messengers and prophets shouted one thing, and other groups of messengers and prophets shouted something that seemed totally contrary to what the other group had just spoken. I was becoming more and more confused.

"Why does it seem so many of the messengers and prophets are speaking contrary words?" I asked the Lord. "Which group have You truly spoken to?"

"I have and I am speaking to both groups of messengers and prophets," the Lord replied.

I then saw as what appeared to be a thick blanket of mist was dropped over the messengers and prophets. I could somehow see through the blanket of mist, though. The messengers and prophets appeared to be quite agitated and very unsure of what was happening to them. A large hand appeared and began to drive the messengers and prophets into dens and caves.

"What is this?" I asked the Lord. "What's happening to the messengers and prophets?"

"I am calling them into the caves," the Lord replied. "They are filled with self-doubt and are beginning to wonder if I have truly spoken to them. I will nourish them in the caves with My words during their season of darkness. During this time, they will shed all their self-sufficiency, and learn to lean totally and completely upon Me. They will hear no other voice for a season besides My voice. When they come forth from the dens and caves where they are being driven and hidden, they will come forth speaking only what they have heard and what they hear My Spirit speaking unto them. This is a time when I will be teaching them to fully discern My voice from all other voices."

The Lord and I were still up in the heavens, looking down to the earth, observing all that was transpiring upon the earth. The dragon was still devouring whole nations and peoples. The destroying angel with the drawn, flaming sword still stood next to the Lord and I.

I then saw as the messengers and prophets who had been driven and hidden in the dens and caves came crawling and stumbling out of the dens and caves. They appeared completely broken both physically and from within. I then saw as angels came to the messengers and prophets and began to feed, nourish and minister unto them.

When the messengers and prophets began to regain their strength, I saw as walls appeared in the distance. The messengers and prophets saw the walls, and began to run swiftly towards these walls. When they reached the walls, they climbed quickly to the tops of the walls and began to cry out loud warnings and instructions to the people gathered around the walls. Some of the people listened to the words of the messengers and prophets; others did not listen.

"What is this?" I asked the Lord.

"I have set these messengers and prophets as watchmen," the Lord replied. "They will not hold their peace day nor night. They will continually lift up their voices. They will spare none of the words I speak to them. All I tell them, they will declare."

I then heard a loud roar. I turned and saw the golden dragon flying towards the messengers and prophets. The dragon was enraged. When the dragon reached the messengers and prophets who remained standing steadfastly upon the walls, the dragon began to devour them.

The Lord lifted up His right hand. I then saw the destroying angel with the flaming sword shoot down as a lightning bolt towards the dragon. The dragon saw the angel approaching, and curled itself up amongst the people and nations it had been devouring. The dragon opened its mouth, and the people and nations it had swallowed and devoured came streaming forth from its mouth. They were armed for battle. They began battling the messengers and prophets on the walls. The destroying angel with the flaming sword also began to do battle, and attacked both the dragon and the warriors who had come from the dragon's mouth.

I saw as nation after nation was conquered, the people bound and enslaved. Many of these bound and enslaved people and nations, were then armed by the dragon and they also became warriors for the dragon.

I then saw two nations and two groups of people who had not been devoured. The dragon was now completely covering with its body all the other nations. These two last nations and groups of people had been under attack, though, and I saw many scenes of bloody devastation within these nations. I saw bands of angels surrounding these two remaining nations and groups of people. The dragon and its warriors could not penetrate past these angels.

"Why are these the only two remaining nations and peoples?" I asked the Lord.

"It is only My word, My presence, which is protecting them," the Lord replied. "The final battle will be between Myself and the dragon."

"When, Lord?" I asked.

"When it is the set time," the Lord replied. "All things are being set in place. Many leaders are unknowingly being manipulated by those who have their own agenda. Many leaders are under plans to be slain. Their predecessors are already in place, with their agendas set in order.

"Those who hear My voice, and seek after Me, will not be dismayed or deceived by these things. Their eyes will see clearly; their ears will hear clearly, what is occurring in spiritual realms. I have allowed a small time of grace and mercy while the prayers and cries of many are lifted up to Me. Yet I am seeking not only the cries and the prayers of people. I am seeking their consecration. I will establish My covenant with those of a heart which is perfect towards Me. I will be their God, and they will be My people. "The conspiracies are agreed upon, and are in place," the Lord said. "But My children, fear none of these things. You will be betrayed, yet fear not, for I am with you and will not leave you defenseless. I have given My children weapons to war with: prayer, supplications, fastings, consecration. I will bring the counsel of the wicked against you to naught. Advance My Kingdom while it is still day. The night is coming. Thick and gross darkness will cover the land. My word will be precious. My children will not be a prey. I will be their bulwark and their defense. Trust in Me, My children, and fear none of these things which will shortly come to pass."

Angels Singing In Rural China ?

The Shandong Miracle


Angels discovered singing end-time song
in a rural Chinese worship service!



In May, 1995 I received this most electrifying report from a friend who for several years has been the leader of a ministry to China. To protect him and his contacts in China, I must not reveal his name. But for you to better understand his credibility, let me explain that I have known him for many years. He is a graduate of a prestigious theological seminary and is a former pastor. My friend is an intelligent and balanced servant of God. He is not given to sensationalism. The following is a summary of his recent report to me.



The whole province of Shandong, in eastern China (population: 57 million), was in the midst of a sweeping revival. For fear of arrest, believers meet secretly in house churches, often by candlelight. At a 1995 meeting in Shandong, everyone was singing "in the Spirit" together (1 Corinthians 14:15), not in their own language, but "as the Spirit gave them utterance," all in harmony but all singing different words. Someone audiotaped the meeting. Later, when they played back the cassette, they were shocked! What they heard was not what had happened there at all -- but the sound of angels singing in Mandarin -- a song they had never heard before, and with a musical accompaniment that had not been there!!! When my friend first heard the tape, before anyone told him what it was, he exclaimed, "Those are angels!!" Actually, there was no other explanation.

Below are the actual translated words sung by the angels! Note that the words express ideas with which these rural Chinese peasants were not familiar. (Original Chinese version follows).



"The End is Near: Rescue Souls"



1. The famine is becoming more and more critical.
There are more and more earthquakes.
The situation is becoming more and more sinister.
People are fighting against each other, nation against nation.
Disasters are more and more severe.


2. The whole environment is deteriorating.
Disasters are more and more severe.
People's hearts are wicked, and they do not worship the true God.
Disasters are more and more severe.



3. Floods and droughts are more and more frequent.
There is more and more homosexuality and incurable diseases.
Disasters are more and more severe.


4. The climates are becoming more and more abnormal.
The earth is more and more restless.
The skies have been broken. The atmosphere is distorted.
Disasters are more and more severe.


Chorus:

The end is near. The revelation of love has been manifested.
Rise up, rise up, rescue souls.
The end is near.
Rise up, rise up, rescue souls.

He is coming soon! -Ricardo Cid

The Lord says, “I am sending this message to my people on the earth, because I exist in the heavenly realms.”

Revelations 4:1
After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.

Revelations 5:11
And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing.

Please, church listen to what has happened to my life. In a dream, the Lord started dealing with me. I remember, in that dream, I walked out of my house. I walked on the streets in my neighborhood and I felt that someone lifted me up by my arms into the sky and I was running on the clouds and glorifying God. A great brightness came over me and a voice said out of that brightness, “Ricardo, Ricardo, quit your job because I want to do something with your life and with my church on the earth.” After hearing these words, I trembled violently and woke up from my dream. I got up and I started crying to God and asking, “What is this, Lord?”

This voice came to me very strongly. It occurred to me for many days. Then I laid to sleep again and had the same dream and the Lord repeated the same message to me. After repeated times, I would wake up screaming because God's voice would increase in volume each time. As I would wake up trembling, I would scream and my parents would ask, “What's the matter?” I would tell them about the dreams and my mother prayed for me and told me, “If the Lord is speaking to you, then He will give you understanding.” We continued praying all night long until it was time for me to go to work that next morning. My mother told me then to get ready and leave for work. We asked the Lord for a sign to let us know whether or not it was He who was talking to me. I took a shower, got ready, and went to work. I used to work at “Chile Laboratories”.

I really loved my job. I would get picked up at the bus station to go to work. When I got off of the bus, someone immediately told me, “What are you doing here? You aren't supposed to be in this place any longer.” In several occasions, others told me the same thing. The amazing thing is that they weren't born again. This is the sign that God gave me. After the sign, I decided to go to my boss to quit. I told him, “I must leave the company because God has commanded me to quit.” When the Lord commands, we MUST obey. My boss was concerned for me and asked, “What are you going to do? Where will you find another job as good as this one?” I told him that I had to obey God. So they had a large farewell reception of two thousand people for me. Afterwards, I gathered all of my things and went back home. As I arrived crying, my mother was already waiting for me at the front porch. I told her that I quit my job because the Lord confirm!ed my dreams through those people. She replied, “If the Lord spoke to you, then may He do with your life as He pleases.”


She and I went in the house talked until nightfall. Then, I told her I need to go to bed because God will talk to me tonight in a dream. I thought he was going to speak to me in a dream, but it didn't happen as I thought. But, he was going to deal with me in a different way. When I went into the bedroom and took off my clothes, the room started to shake. And I started shouting, “It's an earthquake that's hitting Santiago, Chile.” I tried to leave my bedroom, but someone invisible was stopping me from exiting through the door. I was able to see my mom and family across the room and I cried for help but no one could hear me. Now I know, this invisible being was the angel of the Lord. I stepped back and laid on my bed and cried out to God, begging for Him to tell me what's going on.

Then an audible voice spoke to me. The Holy Spirit began to speak to me in a most beautiful voice, saying, “Ricardo, now that you have left your job, I want you to go to the church and pray seven hours a day every day for your life, and for my church on the earth.” After the Lord stopped speaking, the room stopped shaking. I then stretched my hand through my doorway and found that I could leave the room again. Then I ran to my mother and shouted “I heard the voice of the Holy Spirit” and then left my home and started shouting that outside. Some people don't believe that God still talks to people today but I tell you it's true, He does speak to people! If the Lord could speak to Abraham, he can still talk to us, his church today! I went to the church and talked with the Bishop and we agreed to open the church at 8am every morning so that I could pray and obey God's command. Every morning, I would go to church and pray one hour, two, and by the third, I wouldn't have anything else to pray for and I'd ask God, “Lord, what else can I pray? I have four hours left!”

Then, I heard an underground rumbling starting from the back door of the church. I then felt the church swaying from left to right like a drunk person. During this sway, the Lord spoke to me audibly but not in the same voice as in the dream before. The voice He spoke to me before was with authority, this time, He spoke in a voice of sorrow. He said, “Ricardo, Ricardo pray for my church! My church isn't the same anymore!! My church on the earth has changed. My church has lost it's faith. My church doesn't believe in me or my existence! Tell my church that I exist!! Intercede for my church, because my church doesn't pray or fast anymore!” The shaking stopped after He finished speaking. I then started interceding and walking up and down the church for the remaining four hours begging for the people of God to revive.

On Thursday of the second week in intercession, I woke up with intense pain in my bones and joints and didn't want to get up. My mother was waking me up to go to the church to pray, but I complained that my body and bones were in pain. She then recommended that I pray at home instead. However, I reminded her that God specifically told me to go to the church to pray. So, she helped me get dressed and took me to church. That morning, there were many people praying at the church and I asked for prayer because of the pain in my body. I told them I was too weak to pray. So they anointed me and prayed for my body and I received supernatural strength from God!! Hallelujah! I started praying and pacing back and forth, asking for God's mercy on the nation of Chile and for families and drug abused people and for the church.

I finished the intercession and then came later that night for a church service. After the bishop's benediction, I lifted up my hands and felt someone pass by and touch my back. When this happened, I lost all strength and fell to the floor. The bishop asked what was wrong with me and I responded I don't know, I have no strength and I can hardly talk. Then the church surrounded me and began to pray in tongues and shout. Then some of the congregation could see the angel that was coming in and asking me to leave my body. The bishop declared, “You will not leave your body!”. As he said this, the angel stopped motioning for me to leave my body. You see, any person who has authority in Jesus will be honored by the angel of the Lord.

The bishop then asked me, “How long does the angel want to take you from your body?” I then asked the angel, "Are you taking me for one hour? Two? Three hours?” The angel replied, “No, you will be gone for 8 hours to see Jesus in the third heaven because He wants to talk to you.” Then, the angel told me, “I am not the one who will escort you to heaven, because I am your guardian angel who has protected you every day you have lived on this earth. Two angels will come from heaven to take you to the third heaven at the midnight hour.” I told this to the bishop and he determined to take me in another brother's car to a pastor's home on a second floor. As I laid in a room, we were able to hear dog's barking and people screaming.

After my experience, I was told that two men in bright white shining robes appeared in the middle of the street and walked into the first floor of the building and came up to the second floor where I was staying. These angels were beautiful. They had brilliant white hair, whiter than snow and eyes that were fashioned like pearls. Their skin was as soft as a baby's yet their bodies were muscular like a bodybuilder. These angels are powerful!! I then told the bishop, these angels are here that were sent to take me to heaven. One of the angels started motioning me to leave my body. As this happened, my bones started hurting again. So, the brothers in Christ next to me started massaging my body and telling me that it was getting ice cold. Next, they went to get portable heaters to heat my body up again. As the angels were calling me to leave my body, I started to get desperate and moving from one side to the other. I started feeling death take over my body and I shouted to my brothers in Christ, “Don't bury me, I will be back!”

I left my body, and then I jumped on my bed. I saw my brothers in Christ touching my body and saying, “He's gone, he left his body!” But I was right there next to them telling them, “I am here!” However, they couldn't see my body because it was an incorruptible spirit body. My brothers started wrapping my body in a blanket.

One of the angels told me, “It's time to go, because the Lord is waiting for you!” Each angel took me by an arm and lifted me up to the heavens and I crossed through the atmosphere at lightning speed. I will tell you this, even if you don't believe any of this, my Jesus Christ exists and lives forever!!

Later, When the Lord told me to go back to my body, I told him, “Who on earth will believe me, let me stay with you!! No one will believe this revelation, no one will believe this because they don't have faith! The lack of faith on the earth is huge, who will believe this experience?” The Lord replied, “Someone will believe your story, only those who belong to my true church will believe you.”

As I left my body that night and I was flying at an incredible rate of speed on my way to visit the Lord. I was able to look down and see the planet earth. Then I passed right next to the moon, this glorious moon that brightens the night sky on the earth. Then, I was able to see the giant sun with my own eyes; I was able to see the flames that explode from the sun and warm the earth. Then we continued on and I saw many stars as I passed by them. God allowed me to see the sun, moon, and stars for a purpose: that purpose is to tell all of you that our God is a huge creator of the universe!!! He's not small by any means!

We continued traveling at a great rate of speed until we reached a place where there were no more stars. No more creation, just darkness. I could look down and see all of the stars below me. I started feeling afraid and asking the angels, “Where are you taking me? Please take me back to my body on the earth!” They then squeezed me tight and wrapped one of each of their legs around mine and held me. I then started bending over in somewhat of a fetal position because of the fear I felt. The angels said “Be quiet! We are taking you to the third heaven where Jesus is waiting to talk with you!” The angels stopped and during this moment I was looking in all directions but couldn't see anything created, I don't know where I was, but I think it was the second heaven.

I then was bracing myself in the fetal position while the angels were holding me and suddenly felt and heard the terrible noise of a stampede above me. The angels squeezed me and said, “Ricardo, don't fear, Jesus is with us!” As they were speaking, they also said, “Turn up your head and look above you!” I then was surprised by what I was looking at because there was some kind of motion by creatures above us. One of the angels said, “Look, we will show you what you are looking at above us!” And one of the angels motioned with his hand from one side to the other and illuminated the entire sky above us to see what was there. As the sky was illuminated there was nothing but demons and devils surrounding the entire sky. The LORD REBUKE THEM ALL in JESUS' NAME!! The bible is true!! Everything that's going on in this earth is what you see in Revelation. Jesus is coming soon!! How can I convince you of this, it's so SOON!! I asked the angel, “What is this place?” One of them responded, “This is the celestial realm of darkness where Satan and his demons inhabit.” I started saying, “That's why there's so much evil on the earth! These demons come to the earth from this realm and cause all forms of destruction and wickedness on the race of men. The earth is full of demons!” There are millions upon millions, the number is uncountable.

Then the angels started motioning for me to look more closely and they showed me the faces of these creatures and that many of these horrible beings are already shown to us on television. These beings were MONSTROUS!! I saw the Thundercats and Power Rangers and caricatures from animations and horror movies in real life. All of the creators of these movies and animations have formed a pact with the devil to produce these things for television and cinema!! All of those drawings come from that spiritual realm that I experienced. Why do you think that nowadays children are so rebellious?? It's because those demons enter into your children as they view these shows that depict them. That's why we need to learn to teach our kids how to discern what to watch on TV. The angel told me that this is all a reality and truth. All these demons exist and people are making pacts with the devil to bring these demons to the earth. These demons started to curse me, and the church, and the Father, and the Lord Jesus and the earth because they don't respect God or any his creation.

Then, I saw in the flesh a goblin named Hugo, who is a popular cartoon caricature in Chile. He was horrifying to look at. He came near me and told me, “We will go to the earth and kill all the children!” Why do you think that children are killing children? It's because some of them said that something came out of the television and told me to do this or that. These demons are planting hatred on the earth, may the Lord deliver and cleanse Chile!! One of the angels told me “Continue to look!” And the demons said, “We've tried to destroy the church, but we can't because when we kill one, then thousands rise up to replace that death!” Since the beginning of the church, Satan has tried to destroy it, the church that preaches the true Gospel and does the work of God, but he can't because the Lord Jesus protects us! Glory to God! Then the demons said, “Let's do something new, let's go inside churches, because there are many in the churches that belong to us! We are going to use these people to spread gossip and division amongst the brethren in church. We will cause churches to fall by gossip and the Holy Spirit will be grieved and leave the church.” The devil goes everywhere looking to destroy those who love the justice of God. Just like in this scripture verse:

1Peter 5:8
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walks about, seeking whom he may devour.

I didn't want to see anymore, but the angel told me to continue to look at the events occurring. I saw the demons fleeing everywhere as a single bright shining star was coming. As this star was approaching, it was bringing much praise and worship to the Lord. This star wasn't a star, it was millions of angels riding on white horses praising the Lord of Hosts!! They were shouting “Holy, Holy, Holy, is the One who lives from age to age! The Lord is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end and let all that has breath praise the Lord!” And then I saw a great battle and could not find the demons anymore. "Don't fear anymore because there are more angels with us then those on the enemy's side!"

The angels made a way to the third heaven. They divided into two groups one to the right and one to the left. It was an open way to the third heaven! This way reaches heaven and you could see the celestial city of God. (There is a satellite on earth that has taken pictures of this city. This celestial city exists! This came out on radio and TV.) I was able to see this path of glorious and marvelous angels. They had cleared the entire region from demons and they never stopped praising God and blessing His name! The angels placed me in front of them and told me, “You must wait here!”

Then in the distance, I looked and from the celestial city, I saw a personage in white robes riding a white horse. As the being was getting closer to me, the angels would not cease praising God's name and exalting Him. This person came to about the distance of about 4 meters from me. This being was beautiful, even more beautiful than the other angels. I expected him to speak to me, but what he did was look at me for a little while and shout, “I am! I am Michael the archangel who is in charge of guarding you and the church on the earth!” I met the archangel Michael face to face and he was a precious being! He turned to his side and pointed a way for me to enter the celestial city. He said, “Enter! The Lord Jesus is waiting for you! “ I was walking on the path to the city and as I was walking, the angels were shouting and praising the Lord. I cried and cried as I was looking at the city.

The city was made of pure transparent gold and the doors to the entrance were made of pearl. The floors were crystal in appearance. I had never seen anything like this on the earth and neither could a human being create it. The architect was our Lord and God of the universe. I was outside the city and the entrance doors were wide open. And those doors are still open. I was able to see inside and on the walls were rubies and sapphires and pearls that were brilliant. And from within the city there were millions upon millions of voices praising God! I trembled from outside the city hearing this. I heard a single voice which shook the heavens and behind this voice shouted millions and millions of praises to God saying “Holy, Holy, Holy is the lamb of God and the Father to whom belongs the glory and the honor forever and ever AMEN!” This great voice shouted “BE HOLY, FOR I AM HOLY! ONLY THE HOLY ONES WILL ENTER THIS PLACE! FOR WITHOUT HOLINESS NO ONE WILL SEE THE LORD.” Without holiness, no one will see him.

A voice said, “Enter,” and I entered the city. And I saw a marvelous throne flowing with fire. And as the fire is coming out of the throne, I paid attention and I saw Jesus, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords! I fell prostrate before Him on the ground without any strength. His hand came out of the flame extended to me and he said, “Get on your feet!” I gained strength and stood up. I immediately started touching his feet and arms and body. When I saw his face, his appearance is nothing like how artists on the earth produce in their paintings! Many people make gods of wood and many other images! But I want to tell you brothers, that Jesus didn't look like those images. He was a very muscular God! He's not a mediocre God, He's all powerful!! He said, “I am not a God made of chalk or wood, I am a living God who exists!” He continued, “Tell my church on the earth that I am real!! I truly live and exist! Tell my people that heaven is real and I am waiting for them!”

He told me, “Come, walk with me and I will show you something great.” We looked down from the ground and could see the earth and all that was done upon the earth. Jesus said, “I am able to see everything that my church does!” He knows everything that we do and I was able to see many of you from heaven. Jesus told me, “Look at my church!” and I saw brothers against brothers, and churches against other churches. Jesus then told me, “My church has lost their faith, they don't want to believe in me, wickedness has multiplied on the earth and people don't want to believe that I exist. Tell my people I am going to do something great on the earth! My church is backsliding instead of growing." The Lord started to cry over His church and He said, “This church is not my church!” I said, “Lord, don't talk that way! Of course we are your church.” Then the Lord replied, “No, my church walks in miraculous power and signs and wonders! My church has decreased! However, tell them, I will be back to raise them again!”

He told me to continue to walk with Him and we went through a door and the ground was made of pure gold. I started running up and down the gold street and picking up gold dust and sprinkling it on my body. And then the Lord told me to come back and tell you that there are streets of gold in heaven. “All this belongs to my people,” the Lord said. “But, in my church there are many thieves who steal my tithes and offerings! Tell my people that no thief will enter my kingdom in heaven!” We need to straighten up our lives for the Lord. Then we saw a very long table for millions of people with plenty of food and refreshments. There were also many crowns and crystal goblets for people to drink from. The Lord said, “Ricardo all of this has been prepared for my people!” This was the table prepared for the wedding of the Lamb.

There is another sister in Christ who was also taken to heaven and she also saw angels going back and forth preparing the wedding supper also! I told the Lord, “Why did this sister see angels preparing things here, but I don't see any preparations being done?” The Lord replied, “That is because all the preparations are complete!” There are crowns for all those who work and are obedient to the Lord. I then said, “Lord when are you coming back then, if all preparations are complete? How much longer till you return? Show me the clock, how much time is left in the heavenly clock?” Many other people have had dreams of a clock, showing almost midnight when the Lord is supposed to return. I asked, “Lord when will the clock strike midnight? Is it one minute left? five minutes?” Jesus studied my face for a moment, then He replied, “Ricardo, in heaven there is no more clock!” I then responded, “Well Lord, if there is no more time, why haven't you returned yet?” Jesus lifts his hands and takes his thumb and forefinger showing the sign for something very small and said, “All the time that is left is simply the Father's grace for those who have backslidden to offer them a chance to repent and do the first works.” And the Lord of Hosts hasn't returned because he has given us all a tiny space to repent and that time is called “A time of the Father's grace.” Jesus is coming at any moment, we must begin to seek Him with all our hearts and fast and pray and do the first works of old. I am almost finished. Jesus repeated, “We are on the time of God's grace!”

Then an angel appeared to our right and shouted, “The time has come!! Time is finished. Every preparation is complete! Jesus is receiving His bride!” The Lord is coming and all the signs of the scriptures are fulfilled! The movies are showing that something catastrophic is coming. The scientists know that something great will happen, they just don't understand what it is! However, we the church know that Jesus is coming soon! When the angel finished shouting, then all of the millions of angels started jumping and rejoicing that the bride is finally returning to heaven. I kept asking, “What is going on?” but no one paid attention to me, they were all rejoicing in the good news. So, I joined the angels and started exalting Jesus' name also! At that moment, when I lifted my arms I felt someone lift me out of heaven and send me down at a tremendous rate of speed.

Right now, the angels are all rejoicing that the bride is returning. I came back to the earth and was dropped at the pulpit in the church where I would pray every day. Time is so short!! If you don't want to believe me, then don't believe.. But He's coming and it will be for eternity. The people of God don't want to believe in the rapture. Please awake, for God's sake awaken to the truth!! (Ricardo is crying).

The Lord was here next to me and He told me, “Ricardo, this is what the rapture would look like if it happened right now!” I was then able to see the whole earth and the precious, beautiful Holy Spirit, the one who gives us peace and joy leave this earth. I then saw a vapor enter the church and surrounded me and I asked the Lord, “What's this?” He said, “This is what I call the Rapture.” I then saw people breaking down the church doors, wanting to come in, and shouting, “Where are my children? They are all gone!” All children of the earth were gone because God will not leave any behind. The first one to enter the church was the choir director, shouting, “Where's the church! I am left behind! I stayed! I stayed!” After the choir director, I saw other pastors and brothers and sisters and the overseer of the church all crying, “I was left behind!” Many parents and spouses were looking for their loved ones and the people in the church responded, “Your loved ones aren't here! The Lord took them.” Then these people would cry, “Then it was all true, Jesus came and took His bride!”

People were weeping and lamenting wishing that they had believed in Jesus the Christ. Everyone who doesn't believe in Jesus as the Messiah is lost! I saw many people and pastors crying and the people started demanding the pastors, “Why didn't you preach the truth, why didn't you teach holiness and warn me about all of this? It is all your fault that I was left behind!” Many will stay behind because they are not living holy lives. We need to preach true holiness and teach people to truly repent! I saw how people would beat the pastors and tear them to shreds and pull out their hair. The pastors would cry and beg the people not to harm them. The people would not stop because they were now demonized.

There are entire churches that will be left behind. I saw a brother that was trying to rip his own eyes out because of the sorrow. And people would hit their heads against floors and walls because they couldn't understand that Jesus was the only answer. Because people wanted to continue in sin and wickedness and live life the way they wanted to. People would cut themselves and bang their heads until you could see their skulls crack and they would fall to the ground. I the blood flow freely in the church from people who were injuring themselves. Then I saw a youth crying out to God, “Please Lord, take me!” It was too late. Jesus had already come and received His church. I fell to the ground because I saw many more terrible things.

Jesus said to me, “In the great tribulation, there will be troubles like never before.” I then asked, “Why are people jumping back up after hurting themselves so badly?” The Lord Jesus replied, “Because at this time, people will long for death, but will not find it. Death will have fled from the earth. I asked the Lord, “Why did all these pastors and people stay behind?” And the Lord said, “Because I know them. I know their hearts.” God knows us.. He knows all of our hearts. I collapsed to the ground, almost fainted. Jesus said, “I wanted to show you this so that you could warn my church and give them hope. Tell them that if people will repent now, I will forgive them while there is still time. I will do a great thing in the earth.”

Please, open your eyes. The evangelical church in Chile is growing. “Tell my people that if they ask for forgiveness, I will pardon.” I then saw another vision and I saw a fire that covered the entire heavens. Jesus asked, “Did you see it? That fire that you see over the earth, is a fire over the country of Chile. Because Chile will be for Christ! God will change Chile!” I then saw the fire move and want to come upon Chile and Jesus said, “My Father's eyes are upon Chile.” When the fire fell upon Chile, other countries will see it and notice that God is moving there. The church all over the earth rejoiced because of the move of God in Chile. The Lord took me in the vision to a place called “Paseo Humada” and showed me people that were maimed and crippled. Then I saw true believers praying over cripples without legs and commanding the limbs to grow. The limbs would obey and grow before their eyes. People without arms would have instantaneous creation of new limbs. During this time, the Lord will show creative miracles. In the churches people will be healed. In this day, the dead will be raised and God will use you in Chile to perform the same miracles that the apostles of old performed in the bible.

That is the entire revelation that God gave me (Ricardo Cid). He is coming soon. Maranatha! Amen!

Planet X, Is It Coming ? Pastor F. M. Riley

“…..and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven,” Luke 21:11.“And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken,” Luke 21:25-26. “And I will show wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke.The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come,” Acts 2:19-20.Planet XMany readers have sent me emails and letters, and have called me on the phone, inquiring about Planet X. When Planet X did not show up in May of 2003 as anticipated, many people dismissed the entire subject as just another hoax. Some people, primarily those espousing Preterist theology, wrote to scoff and mock and ridicule me for “falling for that Planet X hoax,” just as God’s Word predicted they would, 2 Peter 3:3-6. LC – March- April, 2006 Page 3Folks, I suggest that the Preterists and others of like mind, reserve their laughter. In view of ever worsening conditions on earth, they may need a little humor just to face the future. Planet X is not a hoax. Planet X is still coming! I made this clear in our August, 2003 newsletter, in which we published the latest info on Planet X including news items, photos, and diagrams of its approach, and correlated its coming with many prophetic Scriptures. Copies of our August, 2003 newsletter are still available. Just write and request a copy.I pointed out in that newsletter that Planet X is a huge planet, nearly six times larger than the earth. It is a very dark planet. It does not easily reflect light. For more than 400 years astronomers searched for it. They knew that “something” was out there in the darkness of space, because it perturbed the planets on the outer fringes of the solar system. But they couldn’t find it with their primitive telescopes. Because it is so “dark,” it was hidden in the vast darkness of space beyond the fringes of the solar system. But astronomers finally did find it. In 1981 its discovery was reported in major newspapers around the world. I have copies of some of the news articles documenting its discovery in my possession. Astronomers found Planet X using the latest Infrared Radio telescope technology, and published their findings for the whole world to read. Planet X is real!A unique feature of Planet X is that it has the largest electromagnetic field of any planet in the solar system, exceeded only by that of the Sun. Because of its powerful electromagnetic field, Planet X functions like a gigantic “magnet” in space. As Planet X continues on its inbound journey into the solar system, astronomers are recording subtle [and some very dramatic] changes taking place on every planet in the solar system. Read Psalm 102:25-26. These changes are being caused by the super powerful electromagnetic field of Planet X. The closer Planet X comes, the more dramatic, apparent, and violent, these changes will become. As Planet X approaches, just like any “magnet” will do, it is pushing comets, asteroids, rocks, dust, and all kinds of space debris ahead of it, as well as trailing similar material behind it. Our equation begins with [1] the approach of Planet X, and then proceeds to the second step in the equation…..The SunSome of the space debris being pushed ahead of Planet X [much more trailing behind] is being pulled into the Sun, because of the superior electromagnetic field of the Sun. As space debris crashes into the Sun, violent explosions are occurring. It is interesting to note that most of these solar explosions are occurring on the far side of the Sun; the side facing away from the earth. This is because Planet X is approaching the inner solar system from behind the Sun. The explosions occur, then as the Sun revolves the agitated sites rotate around to face the earth, often still agitated and still exploding. When these solar explosions are large enough, they throw off particles of electromagnetic energy into space [CMEs]. Due to the approach of Planet X, solar explosions are right now at an all time high, far in excess of Sun cycles recorded by astronomers in the past. Therefore the amount of electromagnetic energy being thrown into space far exceeds that of past Sun cycles. This excess of electromagnetic energy in space brings us to the third step in ourLC – March-April, 2006 Page 4equation. [1]…The approach of Planet X = [2]…solar explosions on the Sun, which = [3] …heating ofThe Core of the EarthAccording to geologists, the core of the earth is a fiery mass of molten iron, and is highly magnetic. In other words, the core of the earth is a huge “magnet” which attracts and absorbs electromagnetic energy. This is the way the Lord designed the earth when He created it, and such is necessary to maintain life on earth. In the past the core of the earth absorbed just the right amount [whatever that is] of electromagnetic energy to maintain a suitable temperature for life on earth. But now…..Due to the massive amount of solar explosions occurring on the Sun, the core of the earth is absorbing an amount of electromagnetic energy far in excess of the “normal” amount. This excess is causing the core of the earth to heat up far above its normal temperature range. I suggest that our readers study Deuteronomy 32:22 and Isaiah 5:14-16 very carefully. This overheating of earth’s core is causing all kinds of problems in and on the earth, which brings us to the fourth step in our equation. [1]...The approach of Planet X = [2]…solar explosions on the Sun, which = [3]…heating of the core of the earth, which =Global WarmingThe overheating of the core of the earth is the cause of what many scientists today are calling “Global Warming.” Indeed the globe is warming, but mankind is not causing it. The scientists and environmentalists “fruitcakes” are lying to the people about the root cause of global warming. It is the excessive heating of the core of the earth that is permeating the whole interior of the earth. This excessive heat is filtering outwards from the core and upwards to the surface of the earth. As it does, this in turn is causing all kinds of problems in and on the earth. And this brings us to step five in our equation. [1]…The approach of Planet X = [2]…solar explosions on the Sun, which = [3]…heating of the core of the earth, which = [4]…global warming, which = [5]…Geological UpheavalThere are two facts which most people will readily acknowledge as being true.1. Heat causes expansion. For example: When do you have the most problems with “sticking” doors? In the heat of summer, or in the cold of winter? Obviously, the answer is the heat of summer. In the heat of summer doors expand and “stick.” In the cold of winter those same doors shrink, allowing them to open and close without “sticking.” This is a simple illustration, and is an easily observed truth. 2. Tectonic plates. The surface of the earth consists of “plates” resting [floating] on the mantle of the earth. There are approximately twelve of these large tectonic plates that make up the earth’s surface. These include land both aboveLC – March-April, 2006 Page 5and beneath the seas and oceans. These “plates” are commonly referred to today as the “Continental Plates.”With these two facts in mind, it should then be obvious that excessive heating of the core of the earth is causing the tectonic plates to expand. Expansion is always accompanied by movement. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out what this means. The expansion and movement of the tectonic plates is causing earth tremors and earthquakes. The more the plates expand and move, the more earthquakes there are, the larger they are, and the faster they occur. Simple logic! Hold on! As the “redneck” says,“You ain’t seen nuthin’ yet!”The Lord Jesus Christ, nearly 2,000 years ago, knew these things were going to happen, and even predicted when they would happen; right at the time this present dispensation is drawing to a close. Read again Matthew 24:7, Mark 13:8, Luke 21:11, 21:25-28, and “be not faithless, but believing,” John 20:27. You might also read Luke 21:36, John 3:16, 14:6, Acts 16:31, and Romans 10:8-13.For many years the subject of “global warming” has been hotly debated in scientific circles around the world. Today the evidences of “global warming” are so abundant that only a few “stubborn” radicals still deny it. For the most part, the debate has shifted away from whether “global warming” is actually occurring to the question of what is causing it. The globe is heating up!Enter the environmentalists “wackos.” They claim that the sole cause of global warming is mankind. They tell us that global warming is caused by burning fossil fuels, depleting the forests, draining the wetlands, contaminating the air with the fumes of automobile exhausts, using hair spray and refrigerant, smoke from factories and refineries, the exploding population, blah, blah, blah. Their claim is that all of these things are heating up the atmosphere. Nothing could be further from the truth!A truth that the environmentalists “fruitcakes” don’t want to hear is that there was far more pollution in the atmosphere two hundred years ago than there is today. Two hundred years ago all of humanity was using wood and coal for heating and cooking. Far more fluorocarbons were being injected into the atmosphere at that time than they are today. But strangely, there was no “global warming” back then. Rather, according to historians, two hundred years ago the earth was experiencing a cycle of bitter cold winters and cool summers. How do the environmentalists “nuts” explain this? Duh! But let’s not confront environmentalists with the truth. Truth only frustrates and angers them.For instance, the environmentalists love to point to the melting of the polar icecaps and glaciers as “proof” that mankind is causing “global warming.” Oh really? Such a claim sounds good, and certainly appeals to simple minds. But there is a slight “flaw” in such a claim. Numerous scientific studies in the recent past have revealed that the icecaps and glaciers are melting from the bottom. If the atmosphere was really the main source of global warming, then the icecaps and glaciers should be melting from the top. Even as I am writing this article, the news media is reporting that scientists are alarmed because of the massive quantities of water now trapped and pouring out from under the glaciers and icecaps. Scientists, just in the last two weeks [March], have publicly stated that there is so much water under the icecaps, that in the event of a major earthquake theLC – March-April, 2006 Page 6entire icecap could slide off the land [Greenland; Iceland; Antarctica; Northern Canada; Siberia; etc.] into the ocean. The water acting as a lubricant! Folks, when such happens there will be major earthquakes, tsunamis and worldwide flooding unlike anything modern man has ever seen or even imagined. Now isn’t that interesting? Let the critics of God’s Word read Psalm 46:1-3, Isaiah 28:17, Daniel 9:26, Amos 5:8, 9:6, and Habakkuk 3:10, and tell us again how the Bible is out of date and not relevant to our times. Sic! Folks, it is going to happen! This is why the Lord warned the people dwelling in the islands and along the sea coasts of the earth. See Isaiah 59:18, Jeremiah 25:31-33, and Ezekiel 39:6. Wise people will take heed! Folks, the icecaps and glaciers are melting from the bottom. This clearly reveals that it is not the atmosphere that is the source of global warming. Rather, global warming is being caused by heat coming from the interior of the earth. Hello! Are we awake yet? Due to “global warming” moving the tectonic plates, more and larger earthquakes are occurring. Fault lines in the earth are widening, and molten magma is pushing upwards from the bowels of the earth through the widening faults. “Active” volcanoes are becoming even more active [Mt. St. Helens; Yellowstone; etc.], and so-called extinct volcanoes are awakening and becoming active, and new volcanoes are popping up all over the earth. Reports by geologists and seismologists state that there is now so many undersea volcanoes erupting that they have actually run out of the high technology equipment needed to monitor them. Frightening? “You ain’t seen nuthin’ yet!”Remember our equation? [1]…The approach of Planet X = [2]…solar explosions on the Sun, which = [3]…heating of the core of the earth, which = [4]…global warming, which = [5]…geological upheaval, which = [6]…Weather Running WildAs the tectonic plates expand and move, heated up from the interior of the earth, molten magma is pushing upwards between the plates beneath the oceans and seas. This is causing the ocean floor to raise in some places, and fall in others. This altering of the floor of the sea is changing ocean currents, and the hot magma is raising the temperature of the seas and oceans. Geologists and seismologists tell us that constant tremors and earthquakes are now occurring beneath the seas and oceans all over the earth. This is not only a danger to creatures that live in the sea, but it is a great danger to humanity living upon the face of the earth. As ocean temperatures rise and ocean currents change, so do the weather systems and patterns. The weather we experience at any given time is determined almost solely by what is happening in the seas and oceans. Folks, the weather is going crazy. It has become so unpredictable that meteorologists all over the world are wringing their hands in despair. They can’t even make a reliable weather forecast for the next 24 hours. No, I’m not being critical or making this up. I have reports from such reliable sources as NOAA and USGS stating exactly what I am sharing with my readers. Meteorologists are confounded by what is occurring with the weather systems. Get this picture…..The nation of Somalia is a semi-tropical country located almost on the equator. The heat of summer. Suddenly, a bitter cold wind blows across an area ofLC – March-April, 2006 Page 7Somalia and snow begins to fall. The Somalian people are terrified. Most of them have never seen snow. They don’t even know what it is. Enough snow fell on that day in Somalia this past summer [2005] to collapse small thatch roofed houses and buildings. A tall tale? Folks, I have the news report laying on my desk as I write. About two weeks later northeastern China was deluged with rain. How much? News reports state that it rained 118 inches in 12 hours. Folks, that lacks 2 inches being 10 foot of rain in that 12 hour time span. Of course the area was flooded. Of course there was great destruction and loss of life. Then the storm moved into southern China and stalled, continuing to rain for weeks. All of this was reported on news channels right here in the U.S. Were you listening? A week later a storm in India dumped 9 inches of rain in 1 hour. This was also reported on the national news right here in America. Then there was the hail storm in Nebraska last summer, in which, according to the national news media, grapefruit sized hail fell from the sky.There were also terrible floods in Switzerland, Germany, France, and various other countries in Europe and Asia. The news media right here in the U.S. has reported on most of these events. You didn’t hear the reports? What are you listening to…..soap operas and ball games? Wake up people! This is not “normal” weather! The weather systems on the earth are are “out of whack,” and it is not going to get any better. Now how about all the severe weather occurring right here in the United States? January and February, 2006 were the warmest winter months on record. The tornado season started six weeks early this year. In just one night earlier this month [March] there was 113 tornadoes that swept across Missouri and neighboring states. Here in Missouri 10 people were killed and over 1500 homes damaged or destroyed. Folks, totally unexpected hail storms, tornadoes, hurricanes, straight winds so strong that they uproot trees and blow the roofs off of houses, and excessive amounts of rain, are occurring all over the U.S. and other parts of the world. Freak storms. Sudden temperature changes. Floods in some areas. Drouth in others. I have personally heard meteorologists reporting the weather, say, “We weren’t expecting this!” Folks, the weather is no longer “normal.” It is running wild! And I have told you why! The Prophetic Equation is unfolding right before your eyes. Are you paying attention?Listen Again…..The Prophetic Equation.....[1] The approach of Planet X is causing [2] massive solar flares on the Sun which throw off electromagnetic energy into space, which is causing [3] the core of the earth to overheat, which is causing [4] global warming to occur, which is causing [5] geological upheaval, which is causing [6] total disruption of the weather systems on earth. Did you hear it this time? Folks, these things are not happening at this specific time without any rhyme or reason. God’s Word declares, “To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven,” Ecclesiastes 3:1. See also Ecclesiastes 3:17 and 8:6. This Prophetic Equation is occurring today because the time for God to judge the wicked is staring humanity in the face. Mankind will now repent or perish! LC – March-April, 2006 Page 8God’s Weapons of WarFolks, whether wicked men believe it or not, the Judeo-Christian Scriptures are indeed the inspired Word of Almighty God, and the Lord Jesus Christ is exactly Who He claimed to be; “Immanuel” [God in flesh], the only Savior and the only way of salvation, Isaiah 7:14; John 14:6; Acts 4:12. Men, women, boys, and girls will repent of their sin and receive Christ as their personal Savior, or they will perish eternally, Revelation 20:15.This entire Prophetic Equation was predicted in the Scriptures centuries ago.I call your attention to The Book of Job, a book in God’s Word that makes the “discoveries of modern science” look old and outdated. The Book of Job, it has been estimated by Bible scholars, was written nearly 4,000 years ago. In Job 38:22 the Lord asked Job, “Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow? or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail, which I have reserved against the time of trouble, against the day of battle and war?” The Lord, many centuries ago, was obviously looking forward to the time [Tribulation] when He would do battle against the wicked. The Lord pointed out to Job that His weapons of war during this yet future time will not be guns and bullets, missiles and bombs, tanks and planes, etc. All such are man-made “puny” devices when compared with the power of so-called “nature.” The greatest nuclear bomb man has ever invented pales into insignificance when compared with the mighty power of the creation that the Lord has at His disposal. There is more raw energy released in one severe thunderstorm than in a hundred nuclear bombs. And though puny little men are experimenting with “weather war” today, and trying to control the weather, it is Almighty God who has the final say about the weather. “…..O Lord my God, Thou art very great; …..Who maketh the clouds His chariot: Who walketh upon the wings of the wind,” Psalm 104:1-3. The Psalmist wrote in Psalm 148:7-8, “Praise the Lord from the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps: Fire, and hail; snow, and vapors; stormy wind fulfilling His Word;…”The prophet Jeremiah was inspired to write of the Lord, “He hath made the earth by His power, He hath established the world by His wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by His discretion. When He uttereth His voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens, and He causeth the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; He maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of His treasures,” Jeremiah 10:12-13. In Nahum 1:3 it is specifically stated, “The Lord is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked: the Lord hath His way in the whirlwind [hurricane] and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of His feet.”Do these Scriptures give our readers any insight into WHO is in charge of the elements of “nature?” There are many other similar Scriptures in God’s Word. Folks, the creation obeys its Creator. In Mark 4:39 the Scripture says of our Lord, “And He arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.” Glory! Praise the Lord! Hallelujah! What a God we serve! What a Savior!LC – March, April, 2006 Page 9Back to Planet XCenturies ago the Lord Jesus Christ said, “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My words shall not pass away,” Matthew 24:35. See also Mark 13:31, Luke 21:33, and 2 Peter 3:10. Each of these statements is translated from the Greek word, “parerchomai.” This Greek word literally means, “to pass; go past; to be carried past; to be led past; to pass by; etc.” See Thayer’s Greek Lexicon, page 488, Strong’s No. 3928. Christ plainly stated in these passages that at some point in the future, one or more heavenly bodies would come flying past the earth. Likewise Peter used the same Greek word and pointed out the same truth in his epistle. When this happens it will cause great destruction in the solar system and upon the earth. This clash between the earth and the heavenly bodies is plainly predicted in God’s Word to occur in connection with the promised return of Christ Himself, Luke 21:25-28. Glory!The point I am making here is that centuries ago the Lord Jesus Christ Himself predicted the coming of Planet X. He even predicted, 2000 years in advance, the time when Planet X [and other heavenly bodies] would come flying past the earth. The time the Lord predicted was to be during the “generation” that would see “the fig tree.....shoot forth,” Luke 21:29-33, and “putteth forth leaves,” Matthew 24:32-35; Mark 13:28-31. Folks, “the fig tree” is a symbol of the restored nation of Israel, Jeremiah 24:1-7; Hosea 9:10. Israel was “cut down” as a nation nearly 2000 years ago, exactly as predicted by John the Baptist, Matthew 3:7-10, and by the Lord, Luke 13:6-9. For nearly 2000 years the Jewish people were only a “dry stump” among the nations, Luke 23:31. Yet their “root” remained in the land of Israel, Romans 11:16-18. Nearly 4000 years ago the old Patriarch Job said, “For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease. Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground; Yet through the scent of water it will bud, and bring forth boughs like a plant,” Job 14:7-9. Folks, during 1947-49 Israel was reestablished as a nation again, and slowly began to put forth a “tender….branch,” Matthew 24:32. In the wars that followed the “leaves” began to appear as Israel expanded her territory. You see, “through the scent of water” [the Messiah; John 7:37-38] the “fig tree” had “sprouted” again. Glory! Praise the Lord!Folks, this is our generation; we that are living today. I saw Israel restored as a nation in 1948-49. I have watched “the fig tree” bud. I saw Israel “put forth her branches” in 1967 when our merciful God restored to Israel the city of Jerusalem, the Temple Mount, the Sinai peninsula, and the “west bank.” I watched in horror as faithless secular Jewish leaders gave the Temple Mount and the Sinai back to their enemies, in absolute disobedience to God’s Word. And as I have watched, I have faithfully studied the great end-time prophecies of the Word. I have seen prophecy after prophecy fulfilled during “this generation,” and I am still watching the end-time scenario unfold exactly as the prophetic Scriptures predicted so long ago. Glory!ConclusionLC – March, April, 2006 Page 10Folks, God’s Prophetic Equation is unfolding right before our eyes. All of the predicted “signs” and “time periods” have either been fulfilled or are just ready to be fulfilled. The coming of the Lord is right at the door! Revelation 3:8, 3:10, and 4:1.
