Prophecy sign from Matthew 24-war and rumors of war.  Once again the world waits to see if another battle takes place between Israel and their enemies.  This time Hamas has warned they are going to attack Israel on the birthday of Israel, which is May 14, 2008. 

According to the Jerusalem Post “Hamas will do everything it can to spoil Israel’s 60th birthday bash next week with a high-profile terror attack, OC Military Intelligence Maj.-Gen. Amos Yadlin told the cabinet on Tuesday.”  At the same time Israel has to keep their eyes on Syria because Syria has moved their troops closer to the boarders. US and Israel intelligence experts upgrade the chances of president Bashar Assad retaliating for the Israeli attack, which irreparably damaged the secret nuclear North Korea built for him in eastern Syria. There is a chance that Assad may choose to join in on the attack on Israel during Israel’s celebrations. Is there a chance that a huge holiday attack against Israel could turn out to fulfill Isaiah 17:1, which is the destruction of Damascus?  We will have to wait and see what happens on May 14.  Officials are warning of a possible war between Syria and Israel this summer, if a war does break out it could be at this time the Isaiah prophecy is fulfilled. Another sign of rumors of war is again being placed out in the Middle East. CBS News reported, “A second American aircraft carrier steamed into the Persian Gulf on Tuesday as the Pentagon ordered military commanders to develop new options for attacking Iran” (April 29, 2008). If you watch the video link we are told the State Department is drafting a new letter to Iran telling them to stop killing Americans in Iraq or else!  In the mean time drug wars in Mexico have moved from the street to the hospital.  “Soldiers held Tijuana’s main hospital in a virtual lockdown Tuesday as doctors treated eight drug traffickers wounded in running shootouts in this border city. Even in Mexico’s most violent city, jaded residents feel caught in the crossfire between drug smugglers and federal troops sent in to stop them. Hospitals, schools, and even taco-and-beer tourism are suddenly on the front lines of a raging turf war” (Washington Post.com April 29, 2008).  Not only are these drug wars fulfilling prophecy found in Revelation but they are fulfilling the words of Jesus in Matthew 24:12 where he told us “And because lawlessness shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold”.   The words “magic arts” in Revelation 9:21 is the Greek word pharmakia from which comes our word “pharmacy”.  It signifies the use of medicine, drugs, spells, such as those used in witchcraft and those used today by those who are seeking a greater “high”.  In my post of April 28 I showed you that Jesus had told us that this generation would be known as the drug generation.  As we move closer to the return of Christ this drug problem will get worse.  Also in the news today we are told, “Police busted nearly 400,000 people for carrying small amounts of pot in the last decade, making New York City the world leader in marijuana arrests, civil rights advocates said Tuesday while unveiling a study criticizing the war on drugs” (wcbstv.com). If you missed my post of April 28 I suggest you go back and read it, I give you more details about the global drug problems.  On April 26 at the end of my post I wrote this, Watch out for those Earthquakes.  I had the strong impression that we would begin to start seeing more reports about earthquakes and we have.  Since April 26 we saw in the news a earth quake in Chicago Ill., New Mexico, and the Central Coast of California, but you may not have seen the full report of quakes since the 26^th.  So far since the 26^th there have been 25 quakes hitting a least 5 magnitude and up.  What you should be looking for are bigger quakes hitting higher on the Richter scale.  Why am I saying that?  Jesus told us the END Times events would occur as a woman with birth pains. We haven’t seen to many of the bigger quakes and they are about to be seen again.  In Matthew 24:4-5 one of the first signs Jesus told us to watch for was, “Take heed that no man deceive you.  For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ: and shall deceive many.”  Well here we go again, this time the news come out of Albuquerque N.M. The (AP) reported that, “State police have removed four children from an apocalyptic church whose leader claims to be the Messiah and acknowledges having sex with some of his followers” If you have been reading my past posts you would have read my warnings that a shift in world powers is going to take place, as a matter of fact we are in the process of that shift right now.  The United States has to give way to the European Union.  Why?  Because God told us the Old Roman Empire would return in the end times and they would be the World Empire that is number one at the time of Jesus’ second coming.  This is one reason why you are seeing America’s decline.  One of the signs of this shift is what is happening to the U.S. dollar, it is moving over to the European Union’s euro.  Read what the guardian reported about this.  “The once-unchallenged world hegemony of the US currency is under threat as its value plummets and investors desert it.” Lurking behind the headline-grabbing stories about the credit crunch, the US housing crash and the near-death experiences of Northern Rock and Bear Stearns, is the bigger one about the slump in the value of the American dollar.  So steeply has the greenback fallen in value against its main rivals – the euro and the Japanese yen – that economists are talking about the dollar losing its status as the world’s reserve currency, a position it has held since 1945. Commentators have written the dollar’s obituary on countless occasions over the past 40 years, principally in the late 1970s and early 1990s, when America’s economic performance compared badly with that of Japan or Germany.  So what is different about today? There are two answers: globalisation and the existence of a rival in the form of the euro, the currency of choice for an economic bloc that is as big as America’s. Germany and Japan by themselves never stood a chance of usurping the dollar because their economies were small compared with that of the US. Today, the eurozone trading bloc is as big as America and set to grow larger as new member states join the EU” (guardian.co.uk March 30, 2008).  By the way it was also reported today that Iran has comp
letely stopped conductiong oil transactions in US dollars!  Iran has pulled away from the dollar because its value has dropped so much it is hurting him.  In 1977 when I first started to warn people they would see the day when America would take second seat to the European Union, they laughed and many people throught I was crazy.  Today, many of those same people have called me and asked me how did I know this was going to happen?  I tell them the truth, Jesus told me!  The only difference between me knowing and them not knowing is this one fact, I read the Word of God and therefore I know what signs to look for.  What I am doing for you is connecting the dots for all those people who see the news but don’t know they are really watching prophecy being fulfilled.  Here is another report showing us signs of this shift in superpowers. This report came out on April 23, 2008 by the Financial Times. “As the dollar continues its relentless six-year slide against the euro and other main currencies, the question is being asked more and more: what would it mean if the dollar ceded its global dominance to the euro? The question is a serious one because the US Federal Reserve is pumping new dollars into the global economy at an astounding pace. A broad measure of US money supply growth is increasing at a rate not seen since 1971 when President Richard Nixon imposed price controls and ended the dollar’s convertibility into gold, which recently roared above $1,000 an ounce.  Jesus also warned us that a time of peace would come in the end times for Israel, but it would end in disaster. In many of my posts I told you a 7-year agreement will be signed and then broken by the Antichrist in exactly three and ahalf years into this peace agreement.  We learned today that "Palestinian militant factions on Wednesday agreed to a proposal for a truce with Israel in the Goza Strip and subsequently in the West Bank, a senior Egyptian oficial said on Wednesday" (Breitbart.com April 30, 2008). One day soon you will watch TV and see all the parties involved sign an agreemnet that will be for a period of 7 years.  Will this latest news point to this agreement?  We must do exactly what Jesus said, Watch!  Ever effort is being made right now to have the parties sit down and sign a peace agreement.  All I can say is, we are close to seeing this prophecy being fulfilled.  Lets look at the facts.  I could spend everyday posting all these prophecy signs, but I can’t make you believe in Christ Jesus, the one who gave us all these warnings.  At some point you are going to have to make a major discision that will affect your etneal life.  Except these signs as a special warning pointed directly at you and for you, and except Jesus as your Savior.  On the other hand, you can think this is all bull and refuse the only message that will secure your etnerity in heaven with Christ.  What is that message?  Jesus left us all these signs so you would believe in His Word, and prepare yourself to meet Him.  Are you ready?  If you aren’t ready to meet Jesus you may want to see what hell is going to look like, maybe you will change your mind about where you want to spend your eternity!

In chapter 9 of the book of Revelation we see our generation is known as the “drug” generation. The words. “magic arts” in Rev. 9:21 is the Greek word pharmakia from which comes our word “pharmacy”. It signifies the use of medicine, drugs, spells, such as those used in witchcraft and those used today by those who are seeking a greater “high”. Some call our generation, “Generation X”, and this generation is known to be the “drug generation”. Lets face the facts, governments around the world are fighting the drug wars! Here is just one example of what I am talking about. “TIJUANA, Mexico – Massive gunbattles broke out between suspected drug traffickers who fired at each other while speeding down heavily populated streets of this violent border city early Saturday, killing 13 people and wounding nine” April 27, 2008. Who knows you may be reading this post today and be one of those people Jesus pointed out! God also gave us other specific details as to what this generation would be known for. The prophet Daniel in Daniel 12:4 showed us the last generation would be known for two things which are, increased in knowledge and people traveling back and forth. Please traveling back and forth is a no brainier. All you have to do is do a google search to see how many people are traveling each year. Hundreds of thousands of people each are forced to travel because of wars, droughts, floods or lack of food. But there is some good news. Our generation has been known as the “Generation of Knowledge”. I cover this subject in detail in chapter 3 of my book to show how Daniel 12:4 has been fulfilled. He is one example of that increased knowledge. “A pioneering gene therapy trial has helped a blind man to see in a breakthrough that brings hope to millions affected by eye diseases. British scientists have claimed a world first for the revolutionary treatment, which involved a single injection into the retina at the back of the eye.” In Canada alone one agency put up $119.7 million to increase research knowledge. Of course your vast increased in knowledge is also getting us in trouble. Take Iran for example, Iran is building a nuclear power plant in hopes to create their first nuclear weapon. The President of Iran has stated on many occasions that he wants to wipe Israel off the face of the map, and if he is not stopped he will make an attempt to do just that. This is not only an example of increased knowledge but is a fulfillment of rumors of wars, which Jesus outlined for us in Matthew chapter 24. Many believe that this Iranian nuclear power plant could be the thing that begins the Russian attack against Israel as outlined in Ezekiel chap. 38-38. If Israel bombs this nuclear plant it could force Iran to attack Israel. Iran’s leaders have already warned Israel about this same scenario. Take notice who is helping Iran build this plant, it is Russia. Ezekiel warned us that Russia would join up with Iran in the end time to attack Israel. For complete details about this coming war turn to chapter 10 of my book. When this war takes place the ground will shake. Ezekiel paints a picture of millions of men running into battle against Israel, but God steps in and destroys 5/6 of the invading armies. Speaking of the ground shaking yesterday before ending my post I had a strong impression to warn of another earthquake, so I wrote, “Watch out for those Earthquakes” This morning when I woke up I noticed Mexico had a earthquake that hit a little past 7pm and was a 5.8 magnitude quake. When I wrote the warning yesterday I didn’t know about the quake, but I am glad I wrote about it, maybe someone down in Mexico read my post and looked up to remember Jesus when the ground began to shake. Here is some important news in prophecy. In 2005 the Sanhedrin was again reborn! Who is the Sanhedrin? You may have heard the named “Sanhedrin” before“ when you heard the story about Jesus. It was the Sanhedrin who took Jesus by night and had him put to death. The Romans’ actually killed Jesus, but it was at the doing of the Sanhedrin. A section from the IsraelNationalnews in 2005 stated, “ A unique ceremony – probably only the second of its kind in the past 1,600 years – is taking place in Tiberias today: This launching of a Sanhedrin, the highest Jewish-legal tribunal in the Land of Israel.” This rebirth of the Sanhedrin is very important to prophecy, because Jesus warned us that in the end times the Temple would be rebuilt and, they would begin sacrificing animals again. Now that this highest Jewish legal tribunal is back, they have made moves to begin to do exactly what Christ warned they would do. In 2007, “The modern-day Sanhedrin, headed by Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz, has decided to purchase a herd of sheep to be used for the Passover sacrifice ritual to be held this year if possible at the Temple Mount” If you read my post a few days ago you would learned that the Israeli court ruled in favor for the Jewish Temple movement and, the sheep that the Sanhedrin had their eyes on last year can now be sacrificed. This is a short section from a recent report, “ A Jerusalem court ruled Friday that the Jewish Temple movement could slaughter a sheep on Sunday as a “general rehearsal” for the renewal of the Pesach (Passover) sacrifice.” I pray to God that you see what is going on here! The next step left is to rebuild the Temple, and it will be done soon, very soon. What does this mean for you? Well if you are a Christian that means your rapture is not very far away. If you are not a Christian that mean you will soon see the Antichrist. Why do you think all these signs are taking place? Do you really think it is by chance that after 1,600 years the Sanhedrin reappears? Do you really think it is by chance that they just got approval to start sacrificing sheep again? Do you know when the last time the Jewish people were able to sacrifice? It was the last time Jesus walked this planet. Christ warned us of everything that is currently going on and He did it for a reason, to make you ready for His second coming. I pray my messages are helping you see the light. Soon two things are going to take place. Jesus is going to remove His Church from this earth and then the Antichrist will be exposed. You can leave before all hell breaks out on this planet, or you can stay here and deal with the Antichrist who will have one goal, to kill anyone who does not bow down to him. Why do you think you are reading my post? Another fluke? This is how Jesus is calling your heart to Him, please listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit, and begin to walk with Christ today. Ask Him to enter your life and forgive you. Jesus loves you more than you can ever know. Iran demands Russian nuclear shipment

As you know I have been putting up signs we are seeing that will help push the shifts in powers.   Daniel the prophet showed us the last generation would see the Old Roman Empire come back to life.  It is too hard to explain in this short post. Please read chapter 2 of my book.  All I can tell you here is this.  We were to expect a change in World Superpowers in the end times.  The Superpower who will be in place and reigning as the number one power will be this reborn Roman Empire.  When you read chap. 2 you will see the European Union is that fulfillment of Daniel’s prophecy.  I have been keeping you posted as to things that are going to help speed up this change in Superpowers.  The U.S. is losing ground as the number one Superpower and the war, and economy are all pieces to the puzzle that are helping bring about the shift in powers.  One of the major problems American will be facing in the near future is who is going to deliver the food.  U.S. truckers are being forced to walk away from their trucks because diesel fuel prices are the highest in our history.  In my town the truckers are paying $4.49 a gallon.  Yes we see the trucks on the road today, but the question is, how long will it be before we see less and less of these trucks making deliveries?  “Despite a threatened strike by some independent truck drivers, many trucks were still on the road Tuesday. But for how much longer?” What you just read was the headline to a report talking about this problem.  This is what is going to take place.  Fuel prices are going to keep climbing unless the government steps in and stops them from rising.  Since Bush hasn’t done much about the oil shortage in the last 8 years I wouldn’t look for to much help from him.  What may happen is the government may be forced to mandate a limit for truckers so our economy doesn’t slip even faster then it is right now.  Let me give you an example of a bigger problems headed our way.  Read the words of one trucker. “"My truck has a 300-gallon tank, and it costs me $1,200 to fill it up, and I have to fill it every other day," Evans said. "So every week, I am paying $3,500, and as fuel takes two-thirds of my income, it is taking most of what I make."  Thousands of truckers are now facing the same situation as Mr. Evans is going through.  As the prices of gas keep climbing the number of independent truckers will begin to decline, because they simply won’t be making any money.   Here is one statement from another Californian trucker. “Fuel prices (are)killme.  Can’t seem to get ahead and (I’M) trying to sell the truck now.  I can’d do it,”. One by one when these guys walk away this is going to cause a ripple effect in higher prices for food.  Not only will there be higher prices in food but you will begin to see the store shelves will reflect the lack of deliveries.  If the government doesn’t take action right now,  you can count on the food stamp lines to increase, which they already are and in record numbers.  Don’t forget higher prices for food will also hit hard in American businesses.  People will be forced to adjust their budgets and less people will be going out to eat, look for more people getting their pink slips. How many thousands are going to stop making trips?  Let me tell you how many. Keep your eyes on the news soon you will begin to hear news about the hotel business taking a big hit.   News out of Canada reported that, “The price of oil is likely to hit 150 dollars (Canadian, US) a barrel by 2010 and soar to 225 dollars a barrel by 2012 as supply becomes increasingly tight, a Canadian bank said Thursday”.  The prices of everything from this point on will begin to climb even higher.  As we get closer to the summer months the price of fuel will again go up.  Those truckers who have been holding on by their teeth will begin to leave their jobs!  Not only is America in trouble but America is now the focus for blame for many other 3^rd world nations not being able to buy wheat. Go back and read my Feb. 20^th post.  It was impressed on me by the Lord to warn you all that wheat prices would be going up.  Everything I have warned you is coming to pass!   On another note, farmers have been planting the type of corn that can be turned into fuel, not the type you can eat, as a result there is now a massive shortage.  This shortage has sent prices to the roof and the poorest people in these 3^rd world nations can’t afford to buy what is available. Here is an example. This following quote is from the Bloomberg.com news and it states, “A global rice shortage that has forced China and Vietnam to curb overseas sales of the food staple has reached the San Francisco Bay Area, home of one of the largest concentrations of Asian-Americans in the U.S. Stores, restaurants and food banks report dwindling supplies, and retail prices are rising” If you are watching the nightly news you would have seen videos of nations in turmoil over this and, we are just now beginning to see clashes between those who have the food and those who want it.  This is one of the signs Jesus told us to look for in Matthew 24 where he said you will see famines, war, and civil war.  Trust the Word of God, when the poor nations see the situation getting worse we will see more conflicts.  In my past posts I warned you of these things.  Right now these food shortages has hit 37 nations.  The following is just one report of what I am talking about. “A third day of riots
in the Haitian capital, Port-au-Prince, had by Friday paralyzed the city with looting and violence.” “The looting has made access to food even more difficult, doing little to ease widespread hunger among Haitians.”  When Jesus gave us all the signs of the times in Matthew chapter 24, he painted a picture of what we are just now beginning to see, except as Jesus warned us, it will get much worse, not better.  I would take what he says to heart and make yourself ready for what is coming.   What should you do about this problem?  Listen to what the Wall Street Journal wrote. “I don’t want to alarm anybody, but maybe it’s time for Americans to start stockpiling food. No, this is not a drill. You’ve seen the TV footage of food riots in parts of the developing world. Yes, they’re a long way away from the U.S. But most foodstuffs operate in a global market. When the cost of wheat soars in Asia, it will do the same “here Load Up the Pantry” April 21, 2008.  As far as the U.S. economy goes, we are as I stated going to decline to make way for the last world Empire to reign, which is the European Union.  Signs in the economy, higher food prices, higher gas prices and out off control debt will drag us under.  Please read chapter two of my book to understand this prophecy.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080425/ap_on_re_eu/un_food_crisis

The scripture below inform us that in the end times the Jewish people would once again start to sacrifice animals in their new Temple.  Knowing this information Christian’s should be looking for signs of this taking place, or signs that is pointing to the fulfillment.  If we are really in the end times we should begin to see this sign beginning to take form!  Read the prophecies about this Temple that will be built soon. "When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:"Matthew chapter 24:15.  In this verse the holy place is the (New Temple) which hasn’t been built yet.  But there was another major sign today that is a stepping-stone to this prophecy being fulfilled. “(IsraelNN.com) The Jerusalem Magistrate’s court ruled Friday that the Jewish Temple movement may, under state law, slaughter a sheep on Sunday as a “general rehearsal” for the renewal of the Pesach (Passover) sacrifice. The judge even called the effort "proper," but organizers have been summoned to appear at 1 PM in the District Court after an animal rights groups filed another last-minute suit.”  I first warned people about this issue in 1977. It was confirmed today that the Israeli court said they could go ahead and do the sacrifice. If you aren’t a believer in Christ, you don’t know how important this court ruling today is!  The next step is to actually build the Temple to do the sacrifices in that Temple.  I just found out today that the people who are preparing to run the sacrifices are now sewing together 120 garments for the lay priests who will be wearing the garments during these soon to come sacrifices.   Please click to the following link and listen to Rabbi Chaim Richman talk about this very huge step in fulfilling prophecy. Click here for an interview with Rabbi Chaim Richman of the Temple Institute on ‘Temple rites vs. animal rights’

Below are the news links to the reports talking about the courts ruling.  I pray I am making you understand how close we are to seeing the return of Christ!

If you read my post of April 24 you will notice I warned you about a 7-year peace deal that will be made in the end time.  I also warned that Israel would be attacked in the end times and I tell you exactly who will attack Israel.  Russia which is really run by Putin has been traveling to each one of the nations that are listed to attack Israel in the last days.  Please keep you eyes on this issue.  Israel will soon have some deal brought to them that they will think is a good peace deal.  However, it will be nothing but a setup for a attack on Israel soon after this peace plan is signed.  Of course you are to look for a 7-year agreement nothing else.  If they sign anything that is not a 7 year plan then it is not the convenant that is warned to us in Daniel chapter 9, and we are to keep looking for the 7-year agreement.  I believe the agreement is right at the door.  Like all of these prophecies I have been warning people about this future agreement since 1977.  This is the first time I can actually say I see everything Jesus warned us about taking place at the same time, and that is exactly what he said was going to happen!

Another sign of the times is crime will begin to climb.  We are now seeing more violence in our streets and drugs are in part pushing the rate of violent crimes up.  Just lately in many parts of Mexico drug wars are beginning to look like some scene from Iraq. Police are coming under attack by gangs using machine guns.  Jesus told us in the last days men’s heart would grow cold because of lawlessness and that is what is taking place.

Jesus Christ also warned us to watch for false Christ’s in the end times.  There are hundreds of them here now but I want to focus on one for now, because he is doing exactly what  Jesus warned us about. This false Christ is a man by the name of Jose Luis De, who also says he is the Antichrist and his followers are taking his mark which is 666.

Our Lord Jesus, the real Christ wrote this in Revelation 13:18 “Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred three score and six.”  Or 666. Click to the video below and you will see the scriptures and a man who is fulfilling those every words spoken by the real Christ.

In one of my posts I warned about falling away from sound doctrine. In 2^nd Timothy it says the following: “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears, And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.”  Oprah has done exactly what Timothy said they would do.  Just click to the video below and you will learn how she is turning people away from sound doctrine and the Truth.

I believe last week I asked if people would send in a commentary as to what they thought about my site and the news they are getting from it. Here is one of those commentaries.

Hi, Frank:

I think the amount of updating you're giving us is just right.

In fact, there are many prophecy news sites out there, as you say, but

They either don't relay enough news and stick to a one-topic format,

Or they give a lot of news and don't make all the "connections" to how

Prophecy is being fulfilled. Your site, on the other hand, is doing both, which I thank you for...And I thank God that your voice is very clear regarding the purpose Of what you're doing, and that your heart is such that the resources You produce are without cost...there are enough "prophecy evangelists" Out there already who "need the money to help keep this ministry going"

Let me know if I can be of further help,

And God bless,

Alfredo

Don’t forget to turn to the Glenn Beck Show at 6pm and at 9pm pacfic time to see the 1hr. show on the end times.

I would like to address a very important issue today that many people are now asking me.

Finally people are making the connection between what I have been warning and what they see on the news.  Let me reword this, What Jesus said would happen.  This is what has happened.  For months I have been giving you detailed information as to what will happen next in the news before it was reported on the news.  I have had people e-mail, and call me as to how am I doing this.  All I can tell you is that these are the things the Lord has laid on my heart to warn you about, and when I am impressed by the Lord to write, I write.  Recently my posts have been getting longer because I have been impressed by the Lord to write about more topics that relate to Bible prophecy fulfillment, and events that are bringing about the fulfillment of prophecy.  Almost everyday this week I have written down a huge list of things I needed to warn you about.  After writing a huge list of warnings on Monday, I had a strong impression from the Lord to tell you all to turn to the Glenn Beck Show after you have read my post.  I knew there was going to be someone on his show that was going to take about prophecy, but I had no idea what he was going to be interviewed about.  I figured I would send you there to see what someone else is saying about prophecy. I entitled Monday’s post “Please read this post first then turn to the Glenn Beck Show tonight”.  When I turned to Glenn’s show on Monday I was taken back by what I had seen.  Every warning I wrote about before Glenn’s show that day, Glenn had some expert on his show covering the same exact news I just warned you all about.  When it came time for Glenn’s prophecy guest he talked about the peace talks in the Middle East and I had also written about that topic on Monday as well.  My wife asked me this question, “do you think Glenn read you site today”, because he’s talking about everything you wrote about today?  All I could say was, “it sure looks like it”.  Since Monday every warning that I have posted on my site during the day has been covered on Glenn’s show at night.  I am beginning to think Glenn had the wrong guy on his show.  This evening I received a call form a person asking me to call the Glenn Beck show and point out what has happened all this week so he may want to bring you on his show.  It would be a very interesting story.  I told the person who called me if they feel that strong about it why don’t you call and tell Glenn what you told me.  If the Lord wants me to appear on his show the Lord will open the door for me to go. I will do what I always do I will test the waters. I have a few links below you can e-mail and call the Glenn Beck people to request I be brought on the show. If you all write or call and Glenn and he does respond then it was meant to be. I did tell one young man I would make an attempt to contact Glenn.  In any case please watch his show tonight on CNN at 6 and 9pm, he is going to spend the entire hour on the end times.  If you want to see me on his show here is some contact information for you.

I made two attempts to contact Glenn or his people today. Below is what I wrote them.

First attempt:  I was trying to get in touch with Glenn Beck and ask him if he has been reading my prophecy web site which has my prophecy book on it. I have been getting e-mails and phone calls from people asking me if Glenn is taking news I am writing about during the day and putting it on his show at night. All these people have requested me to call his show and see if he would consider having me on as a guest.  Since Monday of this week everything I have written about each day has been reported on Glenn’s show at night. If you are the person who can contact  Glenn, I would ask you bring this matter to his attention.  I do not take or want any money for my speaking engagements. All I request is a room while there and get me to the show and back home again. This week Glenn has been covering the end times on his show, if he wants to know for sure if these are in fact the last days have him download my book for free at my site. www.dimoraministry.com.  I also suggest you have Glenn read my posts starting on Monday so he can see what it was that I was warning people about, then he will know I just didn’t make this up. I have dates to every post I put up. I am thrilled that I told people to turn to Glenn’s show on Monday, Glenn just shot my rating on my site to the roof!  Tell Glenn if he thinks things in this world are bad now, he hasn’t seen anything yet.  My book will speak for itself!  Thank you for your time.

2^nd attempt: Dear Shawn,  (Shawn is one of the people who I think sets up speakers for Glenn) I was trying to get in touch with Glenn Beck and ask him if he has been reading my prophecy web site which has my prophecy book on it. I have been getting e-mails and phone calls from people asking me if Glenn is taking news I am writing about during the day and putting it on his show at night. All these people have requested me to call his show and see if he would consider having me on as a guest.  Since Monday of this week everything I have written about each day has been reported on Glenn’s show at night.

Please come back to this site in a few hours I am writing what signs are important in prophecy for April 25, 2008.

Thank you for coming to my prophecy site.  There are many sites the talk about prophecy but they don’t give you enough details to connect current events with the actual word of God.  Sure they give you news but what good is the news without making the connection to what the Bible foretold.  I would like your input.  Please e-mail and let me know if I am putting to much material up at one time.  I want to make sure you are well informed but I don’t want to overload you.  If you are new to my site I want to tell you the method I use here. First you will read the Bible scriptures, which talk about the certain prophecy.  Second, I will discuss the current news and show you how the news and prophecy are connected. Third, at the bottom of my post you will find all the headlines to the news and their links.  It is very important that you check out for yourselves this information.  Some links are links to videos and some take you directly to the report.  At the very end of my post you will see a link that says (free download).  When you click this link you will receive a free copy of my newest up-to-date prophecy book called, “The Last Chronicles of Planet Earth”.  This is my gift to you with no strings attached.  If you ever desire a hard copy of my book, all I ask is just pay for cost of printing and postage and I will mail you a book.  I make no money off my book!  My new book is 200 pages long and, it is 8 1/2 by 11”.  The book cost me close to $11.00 a copy, and I send these books out by media mail to keep your cost down.  I love Christ with all my heart and I tell you the truth, why spend the money on a hard copy when I can get it to you for free?  I will assure you, if you read this text you will be blown away.  I have been told many times from the people who have already read my book that they have never seen so much proof and documents in one book, that prove we have entered the last days.   Now down to business.

“BUT of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. (1 Thessalonians 5:1-6) “This is what the Sovereign Lord says: On that day thoughts will come into your mind and you will devise an evil scheme. You will say, ‘I will invade a land of unwalled villages; I will attack a peaceful and unsuspecting people—all of them living without walls and without gates and bars’” (Ezekiel 38:10-11).  What you just read was a warning that in the end times when Israel was calling for peace and safety they would be attacked.  Ezekiel tells us they will be attacked when Israel is a peaceful and unsuspecting people.  We see a picture of Israel living in some kind of false peace, because the attack comes when they think they have peace.  We know from Daniel Chapter 9:27 that there will be an agreement signed in the end times which will give the impression to Israel that they finally have some peace.  This agreement will be for a period of 7 years.  However, God told Ezekiel that in the middle of the 7 years the covenant that was confirmed would be broken.  Go back and read my past posts, you will read I have been warning you to watch the news because, you would begin to see more talk about this peace agreement.   That is actually what is happening!  Not only is that happening but, now they are talking about an agreement with timetables.  Yesterday’s post I showed you that the Hamas leaders talked about a 10-year timetable for peace.  Today’s news now says there needs to be a fixed timetable.  What we may be witnessing is the drawing up of the covenant mentioned in Daniel chapter 9.  If in the near future you see in the news that Israel and the PLO have agreed on a 7-year time frame, or timetable, take my advice, except Jesus Christ and repent of your sins as fast as you can!!  I cannot stress the importance of this.  Once this 7-year agreement is signed, the people of plant Earth will be visited by Satan incarnate in the man who will be called the Antichrist, or beast.  Anyone who has not received Jesus before this agreement is signed is playing Russian roulette with their eternal life.  Here is a short section from the report dealing with this issue. “Jordan’s King Abdullah II told U.S. President George W. Bush on Wednesday that stalled negotiations between Palestinians and Israelis should be based on clear grounds and fixed timetables as the United States pushes for reaching a Mideast peace agreement by next January”.

Luke 21:10, Matthew 24:6-8 and Revelation 6: 8 all give a picture of wars coming, hunger, and famines. Rev. 6:8 says, “And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that followed with him. And Power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.  Matthew 24:6-8 says, “And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.  For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.”  Jesus also warned the end would come in the way a women has birth pains.  This generation is seeing those prophecy birth pains intensify.  Right now 37 nations are in deep trouble in a food famine.  This time it isn’t just the droughts that are the cause but lack of food for other reasons, such as farmers planting corn for gas instead of corn to eat.

The shortages in wheat and corn and especially rice have how hit American stores.  Here is a section from a report telling us how this issue has hit Wal-Mart and Sam’s Club. “NEW YORK, April 23 (Reuters) – Wal-Mart Stores Inc’s Sam’s Club warehouse division said on Wednesday it is limiting sales of Jasmine, Basmati and long grain white rice "due to recent supply and demand trends." “Sam’s Club, the No. 2 U.S. warehouse club operator, is limiting sales of rice to four bags per customer per visit, and is working with suppliers to ensure the products remain in stock.”  News from breitbart.com reported that, “Top retailer Wal-Mart’s Sam’s Club unit said Wednesday it is limiting the amount of rice individual shoppers could buy at one time, as rice prices hit new records around the world”.  Look what the New York Sun reported. “Many parts of America, long considered the breadbasket of the world, are now confronting a once unthinkable phenomenon: food rationing”.  This is a serious problem and if it has now affected the U.S. you know that the 3^rd world nations are in desperate need.  People riot and wars break out when people start to starve.  This is the picture Jesus paints in his Word and He said these things are the beginnings of sorrows!  Below are 11 links that deal with this very issue.  Jesus’ Words are all coming to pass.  Notice what Christ said, “So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors”.  Why do you think we are seeing all these things in the news today?  Jesus is at the door!!!!!!  A very important fact is known in verse 34. “Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled”Matthew 24:33). Do you know what this means? The generation who sees all these things will be alive to see Jesus return.  When you read my book you will read proof that everything, everyone of the prophecies Jesus warned us about is taking place now.  This has never happened to one generation before.  We are it!!

Daniel the prophet showed us the last generation would see the Old Roman Empire come back to life.  It is too hard to explain in this short post. Please read chapter 2 of my book.  All I can tell you here is this.  We were to expect a change in World Superpowers in the end times.  The Superpower who will be in place and reigning as the number one power will be this reborn Roman Empire.  When you read chap. 2 you will see the European Union is that fulfillment of Daniel’s prophecy.  I have been keeping you posted as to things that are going to help speed up this change in Superpowers.  The U.S. is losing ground as the number one Superpower and the war, and economy are all pieces to the puzzle that are helping bring about the shift in powers.  Today we got more bad news for the economy.  See link below.

I WIL BE POSTING MORE INFORMATION ON FRIDAY.

FREE Download the_last_chronicles_of_planet_earth_2008_update.pdf

Click to photo then read today’s post.

The scriptures below inform us that in the end times the Jews would once again start to sacrifice sheep in their new Temple.  Knowing this information Christian’s should be looking for signs of this taking place.  If we are really in the end times we should begin to see this sign beginning to take form!  Read the prophecies about this Temple that will be built soon.  “For the Lord has chosen Zion, he has desired it for his dwelling: ‘This is my resting place for ever and ever; here I will sit enthroned, for I have desired it’” (Psalm 132:13-14). “And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make [it] desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate" (Daniel 9:27). "When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:")  (Matthew chapter 24:15). Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God" (2ndThessalonians 2:4).  This month the Jerusalem Court ruled that Jewish Temple movement could slaughter a sheep on Sunday as a “general rehearsal” for the renewal of the Pesach (Passover) sacrifice.”  This will be a huge sign in prophecy!  The Jews haven’t done this since the last Temple was destroyed.  That means we are one step closer in prophecy, and in the near future you will see that the Jewish people will rebuild their Holy Temple.  You should watch for this news.  I cover this topic in detail in the 11^th chapter of my book, which you can download here for free.  Since Israel was given the right to sacrifice, that can mean only one thing, the Antichrist is standing in the wings waiting to confirm a covenant with many nations and Israel. This will be a agreement which will suppose to last for 7 years, but Jesus told us this agreement would be broken in the middle of the 7 years.  Watch the news because I believe you are going to here news about the Middle East nations signing a covenant.  It was just reported that the “Hamas’ political leader Khaled Meshal on Monday said Hamas would accept a Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza Strip along Israel’s pre-1967 borders, and would grant Israel a 10-year hudna, or truce, as an implicit proof of recognition if Israel withdraws from those areas” (HAARETZ.com April 21, 2008). I am telling you now that the peace deal that will be signed soon will not be a 10-year deal but a 7-year deal, and it will be just as Jesus stated it would be.  So, watch the news in the near future, you will see in the end, any deal that is signed will end up being a 7-year deal..  While Israel is moving toward fulfilling prophecies so is the European Union (EU).  The more prophecy that is fulfilled in Israel, the more you will see the EU will become stronger.  That means the U.S. will begin to decline even faster to make way for what Jesus warned us about concerning who the last world empire would be.  All these things that are going on in America are signs that are going to pave the way for the EU to become the last World Empire.  It is the fulfillment of the prophecy that the old Roman Empire will be reborn. For facts that prove the EU is the revived Roman Empire turn to chapter 2 in my book “The Last Chronicles of Planet Earth”.  Below I have given you just a touch of the news that is helping bring America down.  I assure you America is in for some hard times.  Save as much as you can and buy the things you will need for the future.  Prices of everything are going to climb.  Jesus has warned us all and has written down what we are to keep on the watch for, If you love your family, I mean really love them, you will begin to follow Christ and abide in Him.  Do His will and KEEP ON THE WATCH!
