THE START OF THE 7-YEAR
TRIBULATION?
1 Thessalonians 5 (King James Version)
King James Version (KJV)
1 Thessalonians 5
1But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto
you.
2For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in
the night.
3For 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.
4But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a
thief.
5Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the
night, nor of darkness.
TAYLOR FORENSICS PRESENTS
AN INTEL BRIEFING ON
FALL 2008
“Research is a process of elimination. Whatever remains is the
truth.” Unknown
The principal of Taylor Forensics has been researching prophetic Scripture
for over 20 years, and has never seen a year of convergent validation that
matches the geopolitical events of 2008, nor the prophetic implications of
those events.
Charles Capps stated in his book on the End Times that there exist certain
scriptures which seem to indicate that right before the Rapture, a Midnight
Cry would go forth, similar to the 40 days’ warning given to Nineveh.
It is interesting to note in the Old Testament, Book of Kings, that Elijah,
Elisha and the School of the Prophets knew the exact day Elijah would be
taken. That was under the Old Covenant and we have a much better
Covenant and Word of Promise.
A MAJOR WARNING IS ISSUED – THIS MAY BE FINAL INSPECTION.

(Rosh HaShanah is the only day in the whole year
that was
referred to as the hidden day or the day that no
man knew!)
One of the reasons most often given to disclaim that the
resurrection of the dead and the catching away of the believers is
on Rosh HaShanah is the statement given by Yeshua (Jesus) in
Matthew 24:36, as it is written, "But of that day and hour
knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but My Father
only." Because Rosh HaShanah was understood to be the hidden
day, this statement by Yeshua is actually an idiom for Rosh
Hashanah. Thus it should be given as proof that He was
speaking of Rosh HaShanah because Rosh HaShanah is the
only day in the whole year that was referred to as the hidden day
or the day that no man knew.
Rosh Hashanah is the first and second days of the first Jewish month of
Tishrei. It marks the beginning of the Jewish New Year. The celebration of
this holiday is marked with solemnity, as it is the day on which the whole
world is judged for the coming year. Rosh Hashanah is the birthday of the
world, as it was on this day that God created Man on the 6th day of creation.
Every year, on this day, we proclaim God as our one and true King.
It is impossible to adequately be informed by US Wire services. Unless
one reads the Jerusalem Post, Debka Files (Israeli Military Intel), and
GEAB (European) Bulletins world events cannot be understood.
POSSIBLE EVENTS IN THE FALL OF 2008:
1. Rapture of the Bride (Church) to Heaven on Rosh Hashanah
(The Feast of Trumpets) - September 29 to October 1, 2008.
2. New Testament Church for 7 Years in Heaven.
3. The complete destruction of Damascus, Syria. When this
happens, Iran will use this as an excuse to wipe out the U.S.
Fleet in the Persian Gulf using their new Russian ship killing
missiles. With the U.S. Fleet destroyed and with Israel’s
complete destruction of Damascus, there will be a great
incentive for all parties to sign a 7-Year Peace treaty! The
Bible says that this peace treaty will be in place at the
beginning of the 7-Year Tribulation period! Signing of the 7-
Year Peace treaty around the 1st week of October 2008 would
give the time necessary to mobilize for the attack on Israel by
Iran and Russia (the war of Gog and Magog--Ezekiel 38 & 39).
This will be history repeating itself, remember before Hitler
attacked Poland and Russia during World War II, he first
signed a peace treaty with both of them! The “hook” described
in Ezekiel that draws Russia into the “Jihad” conflict to wipe
Israel off the face of the earth, will be the treaty arrangements
that Iran and Russia had with Syria.
4. This coming Presidential Election will be the last elected
President.
5. The Bible tells us that God fights for Israel to destroy the
attacking forces. When Israel by a miracle from God wins the
war, they realize (at last) that there is a God in heaven who
fights for them and this war is the trigger for them to start:
The Third Temple in Jerusalem! Grant Jeffery feels that the
war of Gog and Magog (Ezekiel 38 & 39) will occur on the 24th
of Cheshvan! The 24th of Cheshvan, 5769 = Saturday, 22
November 2008!
7 reasons for the start of the 7-year tribulation period in:
October 2008:
1. It has been a generation (40 years) from the date that Israel once again gained
control of Jerusalem after 2,000 years during the 6 day war of 1967. A completed 41st
year has passed as of this summer. We are also coming up on the 6th decade
anniversary (60 years, meaning a “new cycle”) of when Israel became a nation. Jesus
said that the generation that sees the rebirth of Israel would see His return.
2. GEAB, a European Think Tank, has published their July-December Briefing
indicating the highest measure of alarm ever issued on an international geo-political
basis, both as regards economics and a ‘very high measure’ of probability of a Middle
East war. Mr. Bush has called the next MidEast War WWIII.
3. Global food supply is near the breaking point and out the lowest level in 30 years!
The world demand for food now out strips what the farmers can grow! To make matters
worse, the Honeybees are dying off! One-third of the human diet comes from insectpollinated
plants, and the honeybee is responsible for 80 percent of that pollination.
Experts are predicting food shortages by the fall of 2008.
4. Drought is at an epidemic level, worldwide! China, Australia, and even states in
the United States are reporting lake and river levels lower than records have been kept
(some going back over 160 years)! Where there is drought, food shortages will soon
follow.

5. A project has designed a biochip which is powered by a lithium battery
rechargeable through the temperature changes in our skin. These engineers spent one
and half million dollars doing research on the best and most convenient place to
have the biochip inserted. Guess what? These researchers found that the forehead
and the back of the hand is not just the most convenient place but is also the only
viable place for rapid, consistent temperature changes in the skin to recharge the
lithium battery. The biochip is approximately 7mm in length, .75 mm in diameter,
about the size of a grain of rice. It is capable of storing pages upon pages of
information about you. All your general history, work history, crime record, health
history and financial data can be stored on this chip.
The sending unit of the biochip puts out a digital signal and consists of bursts of 85
data bits. It also puts out a digitally created analog signal at specific intervals. Used
as a transponder this signal gives out vital information and also serves as a location
marker. The Mark is ready.
6. President George W. Bush has announced that there will be a peace treaty dividing
up Jerusalem before his term expires in 2008. The bible predicts that the 7-year
tribulation will begin in conjunction with the signing of a 7-year peace treaty. All of
these factors and the ones listed below are coming together simultaneously to produce
the “perfect storm” of the 7-year tribulation starting by the 1st week of October 2008.
7. 2007/2008 is the end of the biblical 490-year cycle and the war of Gog and
Magog--Ezekiel 38 & 39 is prophesied to happen this year. Israel has said they
will attack Iran before the end of 2008. This is the Ezekiel 38 / 39 war. They
have to: (a) While Bush is still President; (b) Before the advanced Russian air
defense system is fully installed before the end of 2008; (c) Before Iran has
nuclear capability at the end of 2008.

11th Hour Unilateral Strike on Iran’s Nuke Facilities Meir Dagan, Israeli
Mossad Chief, and a Holocaust survivor born in the Soviet Union,
who was behind the operation that took out Syria’s No. Korean
plutonium reactor in al Kebir last September, has had his tenure
extended until the end of 2009 by PM Olmert.
It is believed this extension of his tenure is in preparation for an
11th hour unilateral strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities. “It is believed
that if Iran is not stopped by October of 2008, it will be too late;
Iran will have crossed the threshold to the last lap of its military
program.” Source: Debka
I read years ago when Netanyahu was PM of Israel that the Chief
Rabbi at the time told him he would be the Prime Minister when
their Messiah came. Now it appears that he will be the next PM of
Israel in November of 2008; he has stated his first action after
elected will be to attack Iran.
FALL 2008
Sabbatical Year!
A number of Christians have emailed me wondering whether we are now living
in the last year before the tribulation period could begin. The reasoning behind this is,
this year in Israel is a ' shmita' year - the sabbatical year in which the Jews are
commanded by God to let the land rest from producing fruit.
In the Autumn of 2008, the Feast of Trumpets will mark the beginning of
another cycle of seven years for the Jewish people. The covenant between Israel and the
surrounding nations is also strengthened by the Antichrist for a period of seven years
(Daniel 9:27), so the thought is that this agreement could fall into one of these seven-year
cycles on the Jewish calendar. The fact that the international community is aiming for a
peace agreement by the end of 2008 is therefore quite significant. The book of Daniel
states that the actual time of Jacob's trouble will begin after the agreement is broken by
the Antichrist, and will run for a period of three and a half years (Daniel 12:7), or 42
months (Revelation 11:2), or 1260 days. Daniel also mentions another figure, 1335 days
(Daniel 12:12).
Here are the past Sabbatical Years:
69/70 AC was a Sabbatical Year:
EVENT: Destruction of the Second Temple by the Romans!
1966/67 was a Sabbatical Year:
EVENT: Six-Day war, Israel gains control of Jerusalem after 2,000 years!
2001/02 was the last Sabbatical Year:
EVENT: Destruction of the World Trade Center
2008/09 is the next Sabbatical Year:

Iran and the SS-N-22
Iran began purchasing advanced military technology from Russia soon after the
latter pulled out in 2000 from the Gore-Chernomyrdin Protocol, which limited
Russia’s sales of military equipment to Iran. Many years ago, Soviet planners
gave up trying to match the US Navy ship for ship, gun for gun, and dollar for
dollar. The Soviets simply could not compete with the high levels of US spending
required to build up and maintain a huge naval armada. They shrewdly adopted an
alternative approach based on strategic defense. They searched for weaknesses,
and sought relatively inexpensive ways to exploit those weaknesses. The Soviets
succeeded: by developing several supersonic anti-ship missiles, one of which, the
SS-N-22 Sunburn, has been called "the most lethal missile in the world today."
The SS-N-22 or ‘Sunburn” has a speed of Mach 2.5 or 1500 miles an hour, uses
stealth technology and has a range up to 130 miles. It contains a conventional
warhead of 750 lbs that can destroy most ships. Of even greater concern is
Russia’s SSN-X-26 or ‘Yakhonts’ cruise missile which has a range of 185 miles
which makes all US Navy ships in the Persian Gulf vulnerable to attack.
Blood Red Moon
(Total lunar eclipse over Jerusalem!)
It started for me with an April 30, 2008 World Net Daily story on
Blood Moons:
http://worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.printable&pageId=63076
which linked to an interview on a show called Prophecy in the News. As I
listened to the interview with Mark Blitz http://prophecyinthenews.com/ on
the Internet I took up their offer to buy a DVD. It was recorded of Mark
teaching at his church three days after his discovery about eclipses on the
Jewish holidays in 2015. At three days he had not yet seen how amazing and
compelling these eclipses would later prove to be. Sets of lunar eclipses
falling on Jewish holidays spanning 600 years from 1493 to past 2100
happened only three times. They are: in 1948 (The year of the birth of Israel
as a nation again), in 1967 (When Jerusalem was captured), and they will be
in 2015. (SEE THE CHARTS BELOW:)
Heavenly signs: Sabbatical Year 2014-2015
(September 25, 2014 - September 13, 2015)
Four Lunar Eclipses: NASA table of Lunar eclipses (2011-2020) | Jewish
Holidays (1998-2017)
The blood-red moon signifies trouble for Israel:
• Passover: April 15, 2014 | Total eclipse visible in Australia, Pacific,
Americas
• Tabernacles: October 9, 2014 | October 8, 2014 Total eclipse visible
in Asia, Australia, Pacific, Americas
• Passover: April 4, 2015 | Total eclipse visible in Asia, Australia,
Pacific, Americas
• Tabernacles: September 28, 2015 | Total eclipse visible in East
Pacific, Americas, Europe, Africa, West Asia (This is the only one
visible from Jerusalem at moon-set)
Four total blood-red moons back-to-back are rare, the only time it
happens on four Biblical holidays is in 2014/2015. The only times last
century these occurred together was in 1967/1968 when Jerusalem was
recaptured. Hebcal used to determine older Jewish holidays.
The solar eclipse signals judgment for the nations:
Why 2015?
Is it because of Isaac Newton?
Newton wrote over a million words of commentary on the books of Daniel and
Revelation. They were released in reprint only in the past few years. He thought God had
given us a way to see His "End Time" timetable. Newton thought the Second Coming of
Jesus would be the start of a Jubilee year. The keeping of when these fifty year cycles
called Jubilee years is to take place has been lost in time. They start after a count of 49
years on a Jewish Holiday, the Day of Atonement or Yom Kippur. That 50th year called a
Jubilee Year would be a time of returning land to the original owners and freeing of
slaves.
Leviticus 25:8-10
8 The Year of Jubilee
And you shall count seven sabbaths of years for yourself, seven times seven years; and
the time of the seven sabbaths of years shall be to you forty-nine years. 9 Then you shall
cause the trumpet of the Jubilee to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month; on the
Day of Atonement you shall make the trumpet to sound throughout all your land. 10 And
you shall consecrate the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land to all its
inhabitants. It shall be a Jubilee for you; and each of you shall return to his possession,
and each of you shall return to his family.
NKJV
Hears where it gets exciting, Mark Blitz wanted to see if there were any eclipses
in 2015 because he had heard about some other person’s calculations. Here is a link I
found when I Google searched June 7, 1967 and Daniel 9:25 it seems to follow along
with what Marl Blitz was saying. I know nothing else about this site but I will put some
quotes from it below. First Daniel 9:24,25,& 26 then "Newton's Riddle":
Dan 9:24-26
24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the
transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to
bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint
the most Holy.
25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to
restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and
threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous
times.
26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and
the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the
end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
KJV
"Newton's Riddle" - Jim Bramlett - Feb 27, 2008
http://www.prophecyforum.com/bramlett/newtons_riddle.html
Newton was a devout believer in Christ and Bible scholar, fluent in ancient
languages, and who translated directly from the Hebrew and Greek. He was unusually
drawn to the prophet Daniel, which he began studying at age 12 and continued until he
died at age 85. In fact, The Columbia History of the World, a secular history book,
remarks, "At the end of his days he spent more time studying and writing about the
prophecies in the Book of Daniel than he did in charting the heavens." Apparently, God
Himself put in Newton's heart this burning desire to study Daniel, then gave him the key
to the timing of Christ's return.
Could this be the final profound secret the Lord revealed to this godly genius near
the end of his life -- a secret "accidentally" discovered in the Library of Congress and
republished just in the last few years -- a secret so simple that most have missed it?
If Newton was correct in his interpretation of Daniel, the prophet to whom God
gave specific timing, then the return of the Lord Jesus Christ will be very, very soon,
indeed!
Newton's understanding of one key passage in Daniel chapter 9 is fundamentally
different from that of most common interpretations. In about 550 B.C., God gave the
prophet Daniel a view of history to the end. From Daniel 9:25, scholars usually add the
"seven weeks (of years, or 49 years) and 62 weeks (434 years)" to get 483 years and
calculate the time of Messiah's First Coming. However, Newton says there is no
linguistic basis for adding those two numbers (49 and 434), and to do so is "doing
violence to the language of Daniel." Newton says the two numbers separately speak of
both the First and Second Coming, both being counted from the "going forth of the
commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem." Some commentators agree.
Newton says the "62 weeks," or 434-year part was fulfilled at the First Coming, and the
"seven weeks," or 49-year part will apply to the Second Coming. And three centuries ago
he saw in the Scriptures and wrote about the rebirth of Israel at a time when such a
thought was preposterous. Amazingly by faith and understanding of the Scriptures, he
foresaw a "friendly kingdom" someday again issuing the "commandment to restore and
build Jerusalem." Now, centuries later, that "friendly kingdom" may have been the
United Nations, which decreed Israel's rebirth in November, 1947, causing Israel to be
reborn in May, 1948.
...if you use exactly 49 Jewish (360-day, prophetic) years from the day Israel captured
the Temple Mount on June 7, 1967, you get 49 X 360 = 17640 days, which amazingly
takes one exactly to September 23, 2015, the Day of Atonement 2015!
Now what I am about to say is personal speculation - If you go back 7 years
from the Day of Atonement in 2015, you arrive at the Day of Atonement in 2008,
October 9. Therefore, (in my opinion) astronomical signs prove 100% that the ending
of the 7-year tribulation period is in the fall of 2015! Therefore, the beginning of the
7-year tribulation period and the rapture starts in the fall of 2008!
This is further personal belief:
If the final 7 years do, in fact, begins on:
October 9, 2008, then:
The rapture MUST take place on:
Rosh HaShanah 2008
(September 29, 2008 to October 1, 2008)!
Remember Newton thought the second coming would start a Jubilee year, which
starts on a Day of Atonement. Adding a 49 biblical 360-day years to one of the most
significant dates in Bible prophecy and coming up to a Day of Atonement are 365 to 1
odds. Yet there it is 49 Jewish (360-day, prophetic) years from the day Israel captured the
Temple Mount on June 7, 1967, you get 49 X 360 = 17640 days, which amazingly takes
one exactly to September 23, 2015, the Day of Atonement 2015!
Now you know why Mark Blitz looked to see if there were any eclipses in 2015
and as he said it blew his mind. By going to the NASA's website, you can look into the
eclipses on your own.
The reason to subtract seven years from 2015 is to account for the time named the
Tribulation, the events in the book of Revelation. Most of us think the Rapture, the taking
away of Believers happens just before the Tribulation starts.
Another Newton site: http://www.csg.net/eschatology/Newton.htm
The 'rapture' is an important part of Christian doctrine, and for those of you not
familiar with the Christian rapture I will summarize it's basic principles:
Throughout the Bible God threatens judgment (wrath) on sinful governments and
people who refuse to follow him or his commandments.
In the 'end times' as famously portrayed in Revelation (last chapter of the Bible), these
judgments finally unfold to start the period known as the "Tribulation" and result in
devastating wars and natural disasters, all for the purpose of bringing God's unrepentant
people to repentance, and separating the good people from the wicked and corrupt of the
world.
The 'Pre-Tribulation' rapture represents God taking some of his people from the Earth
before the Tribulation; these are Christians in high standing with God who do not have to
suffer through his judgments of wrath that come on the world.
Breaking News: God Not Pleased with Christian Majority
A careful study of what God says in Revelation (chapters 2 and 3) to the seven early
churches gives us some major clues as to how God views all populations of Christians.
Notice that only the Philadelphia Church (and a number of believers at the churches in
Sardis and Smyrna) is without fault and has no need to "repent". They are the only church
guaranteed to be spared the 'hour of trial' (Revelation 3:10).
The remaining six churches (which would mean the majority of Christians) have the need
to overcome sin in order to make themselves worthy. If they do not repent and embrace
full love and faith in God (as warned specifically in these letters) they MUST go through
the Tribulation, a time of severe testing and persecution, "such has never been seen
before or will ever be seen again".
If you believe that Chapters 2 and 3 of Revelation only apply to the churches two
thousand years ago, please note that each letter ends with: "Anyone who has an ear
should listen to what the Spirit says to the churches."
The Rapture
In 1 Thessalonians, in the New Testament of the Bible, the apostle Paul talks about the
'end times' and a sudden, unexpected calamity that comes upon the world.
1 Thessalonians 5:2 - "... The Day of the Lord will come just as a thief in the night.
When they say "Peace and security," then sudden destruction comes on them..."
Then a few lines down, 1 Thessalonians: 5:9 reads: "For God did not appoint us to
wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ."
According to Paul, when the world is saying "Peace and security", sudden destruction
hits... however as then stated by Paul, believers in Christ are not 'appointed' to this wrath,
which comes upon the world and starts the Tribulation, which includes the Anti-Christ
ruling for 42 months and the entire period believed by many theologians to last up to 7
years.
Jesus said:
John 14:1-3 - "Your heart must not be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in Me.
In My Father's house are many dwelling places; if not, I would have told you. I am
going away to prepare a place for you. If I go away and prepare a place for you, I
will come back and receive you to Myself, so that where I am you may be also."
With this well known passage by Jesus, we have proof that God has prepared a new
world for his faithful believers. Of course, this leaves us with the question: "When will
faithful believers be taken there?"
Left Behind and 666 (the Mark of the Beast)
Revelation 3:3 - Remember therefore what you have received and heard; keep it,
and repent. But if you are not alert, I will come like a thief, and you have no idea at
what hour I will come against you.
What happens to people who don't escape God's judgment on the world, who are stuck on
Earth for the period of Tribulation? Who wake up one morning and discover that people
are missing?
Obviously, they have to take part in it. These are the unbelievers and Christians of halfhearted
faith who finally repent and turn away from wickedness and profess full love and
faith in God during the time of Tribulation.
This group must cope with the rule of the infamous Anti-Christ and refuse to worship
him or his image, and refuse 'the mark' that enables people to buy and sell under the Anti-
Christ's temporary new world order.
Many of these Christians are reported by the Bible to be executed for refusing the mark
of the Anti-Christ – these Christians choose execution, because the alternative is eternal
torment in Hell, which is the punishment promised by God if his people take the mark (so
if you are left behind, whatever happens, do not take the mark).
On top of that, natural disasters will be occurring all across the world, with greater
frequency and terrifying effects. Earthquakes, hurricanes, tsunamis, heat waves, famine,
plagues – in many places these disasters will be so widespread that the Anti-Christ will
be the least of peoples' concerns.
First Fruits vs. The Elect
Luke 21:36 - "But be alert at all times, praying that you may be counted worthy to
escape all these things that are going to take place, and to stand before the Son of
Man."
Here, we have a passage in Luke that tells us to pray 'to escape all these things that are
going to take place' AND 'be counted worthy'. The things that are going to take place are
the disastrous and terrifying events of the Tribulation, which as stated above, the
Philadelphia Church in Revelation 3:10 is told it will be spared from.
If you're taking notes, Luke 21:36 and Revelation 3:10 appear to state the same thing –
that at least some believers will be counted worthy to escape 'these things that are going
to take place' (Luke 21:36) and be spared from the 'hour of trial' (Revelation 3:10).
Bonnie Gaunt on the Rapture
From Jim Bramlett:
Yesterday I received an interesting three-page paper in the mail from author and Bible
codes expert, friend Bonnie Gaunt. (She is not online.) Bonnie has written several books
on the Bible codes, has been interviewed on secular network television and also Christian
television, including the 700 Club.
Bonnie has discovered some new things:
1. There is a direct relationship between the Hebrew words for Rapture and 1st Tishri
(Rosh Hashanah). Tishri is the first month in the Hebrew civil year. When reversed, three
of its letters, and sometimes all four, she says, spell the Hebrew word which could be
interpreted as "rapture."
2. In Deuteronomy, "the combination of the word Rapture and Tishri can be found over
and over again in the ELS code." She says that many times in that book the words
Rapture and 1st Tishri actually come together and cross. (1st Tishri is the Feast of
Trumpets.)
3. Bonnie says, "There are many indications in both the chronology of the Scriptures, and
in the prophetic word, that would suggest the return of Jesus for His bride will be on the
1st day of Tishri, which is the day of the Feast of Trumpets. The chronology suggests that
this would occur on the Feast of Trumpets in the year 2008.... On our calendar this would
be September 29, 2008."
4. In the excerpted Bible code matrix she sent me, she identifies the following words
appearing very near each other in Deuterononomy 16: 5769 (the Jewish year which
begins September 29, 2008), come away with me, Messiah (twice), Return (interwoven
twice in Messiah), Midnight To reign.
Also, her new book is available (but she has to charge for this): "The Coming of Jesus:
The Real Message of the Bible Codes."
Russian military stalls on reports Ukraine sold warheads to Iran
http://en.rian.ru/russia/20060403/45107320.html 3-4-06
MOSCOW, April 3 (RIA Novosti) - The chief of Russia's General Staff said Monday he
could neither confirm nor deny reports that Ukraine had sold 250 nuclear warheads to
Iran.
"Russia's General Staff has no information about whether Ukraine has given 250 nuclear
warheads to Iran or not," General Yury Baluyevsky, also deputy defense minister, said in
response to an article in Novaya Gazeta newspaper Monday. "I do not comment on
unsubstantiated reports."
The newspaper said that Ukraine had failed to return 250 warheads to Russia in the 1990s
when the former Soviet republic declared itself a nuclear-free zone. The paper suggested
the warheads could have been sold to a third country, including Iran.
Russian General Confirms Iran Has Nuclear Weapons
Stratford Intelligence, Week of June 4, 2002
http://cuttingedge.org/news/n1660.cfm
A Russian general's statement about Iran's nukes fails to register with media. Sometime a
slip of the tongue is so incredible that no amount of doctoring can explain it. And
sometimes a slip of the tongue is as intentional as could be. Take an appearance by
Russian Deputy Chief of Staff Gen. Yuri Baluyevsky. He gave a briefing on Friday in
Moscow during the Bush-Putin summit and was asked about whether Iran actually fired
the Shihab-3 intermediate-range missile in a successful test earlier this month. The
second question was whether Iran can threaten Israel, Russia or the United States with its
nuclear and missile programs.
Then the Russian general takes a surprise turn: 'Now, as to whether or not Iran has tested
something like that. Iran does have nuclear weapons,' Baluyevsky said. 'Of course, these
are non-strategic nuclear weapons. I mean these are not ICBMs with a range of more than
5,500 kilometers and more."
Now this is shocking news, indeed! This Russian general has just confirmed that Iran has
nuclear warheads and theater missiles with which to deliver them! And, he seems not to
be concerned because these warheads cannot yet hit Russian soil. If Iran has nuclear
weapons and the missile capability with which to deliver them to Israeli targets, then the
entire calculation of military balance in the Middle East may just have changed.
Iran Has Missiles to Carry Nuclear Warheads
By Con Coughlin - NEWS.TELEGRAPH - 07/04/2006
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2006/04/07/wiran07.xml
Iran has successfully developed ballistic missiles with the capability to carry nuclear
warheads.
Detailed analysis of recent test firings of the Shahab-3 ballistic missile by military
experts has concluded that Iran has been able to modify the nose cone to carry a basic
nuclear bomb. The discovery will intensify international pressure on Teheran to provide a
comprehensive breakdown of its nuclear research program.
An Iranian Shahab-3 missile on parade in
Teheran
Last week, the United Nations Security Council gave Iran 30 days to freeze its uranium
enrichment program that many experts believe is part of a clandestine attempt to produce
nuclear weapons.
Iran denies it is trying to acquire a nuclear arsenal. But ballistic missile experts advising
the United States say it has succeeded in reconfiguring the Shahab-3 to carry nuclear
weapons.
The Shahab-3 is a modified version of North Korea's Nodong missile which itself is
based on the old Soviet-made Scud.
The Nodong, which Iran secretly acquired from North Korea in the mid-1990s, is
designed to carry a conventional warhead. But Iranian engineers have been working for
several years to adapt the Shahab-3 to carry nuclear weapons.
"This is a major breakthrough for the Iranians," said a senior US official. "They have
been trying to do this for years and now they have succeeded. It is a very disturbing
development."
The Shahab 3 has a range of 800 miles, enabling it to hit a wide range of targets
throughout the Middle East - including Israel.
Apart from modifying the nose cone, Iranian technicians are also trying to make a
number of technical adjustments that will enable the missile to travel a greater distance.
Western intelligence officials believe that Iran is receiving assistance from teams of
Russian and Chinese experts with experience of developing nuclear weapons. Experts
who have studied the latest version of the Shahab have identified modifications to the
nose cone. Instead of the single cone normally attached to this type of missile, the new
Shahab has three cones, or a triconic, warhead. A triconic warhead allows the missile to
accommodate a nuclear device and this type of warhead is normally found only in nuclear
weapons.
According to the new research, the Iranian warhead is designed to carry a spherical
nuclear weapon that would be detonated 2,000 feet above the ground, similar to the
Hiroshima bomb.
The development of the Shahab-3 is just one element of a wide-ranging missile
development program. In 2003 the Iranians concluded another secret deal with North
Korea to buy the Taepo Dong 2 missile, which has a range of 2,200 miles and would
enable Iran to hit targets in mainland Europe. Earlier this week the Iranians announced
that they had successfully test-fired a new missile, the Fajr-3, which has the capability to
evade radar systems and carry multiple warheads.
HOW TO PREPARE FOR CHRIST'S RETURN
The Bible indicates that there will be two groups of people on the earth when Jesus
suddenly returns. The first group consists of those individuals that have received Jesus
Christ's free gift of Salvation. These are the Children of Light. They know the signs of
His return and are anxiously awaiting Him (1 Thes 5:1-4). The other group will consist of
those whose love for the Lord has grown cold and the Unbelievers who want nothing to
do with Jesus' free gift of salvation.
This latter group is like the people who lived in Noah's time. In that day, the
people were completely caught up with the affairs of everyday living and wanted
nothing to do with spiritual things until the flood came. By then, it was too late.
THE VITAL AND ESSENTIAL WORK OF THE WATCHMAN
OVER GOD'S COVENANT PEOPLE.
Such is the work of a watchman. If the people are forewarned and if they
have responded and brought themselves into readiness then this timely
warning can turn a potential disaster into a victory. In the case of God's
covenant people it is no different. We are in a spiritual war and
increasingly so as the Day approaches. Our enemy certainly knows a lot of
what is going on. And he knows that the day of his judgment is
approaching. The church is advancing expanding by leaps and bounds
over in the third world. Our enemy is actively responding to these
developing realities. How about us back here in the comfort zone as we sit
in our padded pews? Do we know what's going on? In the spiritual arena
there are also serious consequences for an unfaithful watchman. Ezekiel
had this spelled out for him very clearly. God said that as a prophet he,
Ezekiel, had been made a watchman over the House of Israel. He was told
that if he saw the enemy coming and he failed to blow the trumpet and
sound the alarm then there would be some dreadful consequences for him.
God said that He will actually require the blood of the people at the
watchman's hand. This is an awful thing. Ministers and believers of today
are wise to heed this warning.

How to Make the First Rapture
It's clear from reading Matthew above, that there are two raptures – and considering
current events, the first rapture may be a lot sooner than you think.
Right now it is very important that you become true to the Christian faith, REPENT
of any sin still in your life, and become passionate about God's Greatest
Commandment for our lives (Matthew 22:37). Jesus replied: "Love the Lord your God
with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.”
Remember, just because you're a Christian does not mean that God is pleased with you.
God knows hearts and minds, and he knows every detail about you. He knows where
your faith is.
True faith begins with your accepting his gift of forgiveness of sins, for which Jesus
Christ, his son, died on the cross.
Now as a believer in Christ, pray to God for sanctification (1 Thess. 5:23) by his Holy
Spirit, so that you can escape sin, and be made holy and righteous, in the image of Christ.
You must become purified by the renewing of your mind.
This simply means that you embrace God's commandments to love God and neighbor;
that you eliminate deceit, corruption, and immorality from your life, and you pursue what
is good and reject what is bad.
You must read the Bible. Considering world events and that Revelation is unfolding in
the world around us, I would put prayer and Bible study at the top of your daily list of
priorities – and get yourself into a Fundamentalist Christian church, that believes in a
pre-tribulation rapture.
You will most likely hear sermons that encourage higher standards of Christian living
and clear warnings of Hell as well as demands for full repentance of sin. If you don't
believe God holds us to higher standards, then I suggest you read Chapters 2 and 3 of
Revelation. God is very clear on what he demands from us – he demands that we
overcome sin.
Fear God. Love God. Obey his commandments. Embrace his Greatest Commandment.
Last, you must not want anything to do with this world, and instead look forward to the
return of Jesus Christ, which Jesus told us himself to be on the alert for, as it can happen
at any time.
God wants you to look forward to the world he has promised us because it is going
to put this world to shame.

Intel briefing – ussr \ iran
The International Atomic Energy Agency
(IAEA) referred Iran to the United Nations
Security Council for being in breach of the
Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty's (NPT)
safeguards agreement. Teheran has
responded to the referral by ending
diplomacy, stopping cooperation with the
IAEA and starting "industrial scale" Uranium
enrichment that could produce dozens of
nuclear warheads per year.
Meanwhile, Israel (and the U.S.) is making
preparations to launch a military strike to
destroy Iran's nuclear facilities and set the Islamic nation's nuclear pursuits back
years. The prospect of a nuclear-armed Iran, led by its new, rabidly anti-semitic
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who has denied the Holocaust and called for
Israel to be "wiped off the map", is intolerable for the Jewish state. Iran's nuclear
program constitutes an "existential threat" for Israel that, if not mitigated by
international diplomacy, Jerusalem will stop with military force similar, but far
larger in scope, to the 1981 air strike on Iraq's Osirak nuclear reactor. Iran's
ending diplomacy and start of industrial-scale reprocessing of enriched uranium
might be enough to trigger the threatened Israeli attack.
If Israel strikes Iran's nuclear facilities, Teheran has
threatened to retaliate by, at the least, launching ballistic
missiles at Israel. Presumably these missiles, unlike the
SCUDs launched against Israel by Saddam Hussein during
the Gulf War, will carry chemical and/or biological warheads.
Iranian-backed Hezbollah forces in southern Lebanon could
likewise launch a barrage of missiles into northern Israel on
Iran's behalf. Furthermore, Syria, which has forged a military
alliance with Iran, would likely be drawn into the fray of any
conflict and could launch SCUD missiles armed with
weapons of mass destruction (some leftover from Iraq)
against Israel as the fourth full-scale Arab/Israeli War gets underway.
Should such a conflict erupt, it is important that the world understand the true
cause. In this regard, one needs to understand that the current international crisis
concerning Iran's nuclear pursuits is not what it seems. There's an ulterior motive
behind what's happening.
The most important reason the IAEA concluded that Iran was violating the NPT
was a set of documents discovered in Teheran that could only be used for the
purpose of building an atomic bomb. These documents constitute the proverbial
"smoking gun" that led the IAEA to refer Iran to the U.N. Security Council. But
how did the IAEA get its hands on these sensitive Iranian documents?
Newsweek reported the following:
Then there’s the problem with the papers Iran did cough up. Last fall, after more than
two years keeping the IAEA waiting, the Iranians finally produced two cardboard
boxes full of papers which they allowed inspectors to examine only in an Iranian
government office in Teheran. As the IAEA’s people read through the documents,
they came across about 10 pages that looked suspicious, to say the least: general
specifications for casting uranium metal in a spherical form that could well make up
the core of an atomic bomb. In a curious arrangement, the Iranians videotaped the
inspectors while they were looking at the papers, but wouldn’t allow the IAEA to
make any photographs or copies. The IAEA wants to get those documents in its
hands, and it wants to know what the hell they were doing in the files of Iran’s
“peaceful” program to begin with. (Newsweek, "Countdown To A Showdown", Jan.
23, 2006)
The problem is, why did Iran cough up this set of documents? These "two
cardboard boxes full of papers" were provided after a two year wait by the IAEA.
One would think that Iranian intelligence would have carefully scrutinized each
and every page that was to be handed over. They had two years to do so. Yet,
there were 10 pages there about how to shape uranium metal into a spherical
form, information that could only be used in building a nuclear bomb. So why
were these incredibly incriminating pages handed over? It seems like Teheran
intentionally provided information that directly revealed its pursuit of a nuclear
bomb.
Another surprising admission by Iran
is that it is has tens of thousands of
centrifuges that will now be used for
"industrial scale" reprocessing that
can produce enough highly enriched
uranium for dozens of nuclear bombs
per year. The U.S. National
Intelligence Assessment, a
consensus view of U.S. agencies,
has been that Iran will not have a
nuclear weapon until 2010 at the
earliest. However, there's been
growing concern about Iran's secret
Natanz uranium reprocessing facility. Iranian opposition sources said Teheran
built centrifuges for its nuclear plant at Natanz without the knowledge of the IAEA
and the European Union (EU). New construction at Natanz reportedly includes
underground centrifuge cascade halls for a fuel enrichment plant designed to
contain around 50,000 centrifuges. According to Paul Leventhal, president of the
Washington-based Nuclear Control Institute, "If the information obtained by the
Iranian opposition can be verified, then we have a major crisis on our hands."
Indeed, outside specialists believe that, if the reports are correct about Natanz,
then Iran is only months or a year away from having its first crude nuclear device.
Any doubts about whether Iran was assembling a massive fuel enrichment
capacity were put to rest in late-January when Teheran's IAEA Ambassador, Ali
Asghar Soltanieh, said that, should his nation be referred to the U.N. Security
Council, Iran will start "commercial industrial scale enrichment" using "more than
50,000 centrifuge machines....with the capacity of
[producing] 30 tons [of enriched uranium] per year" (of
which around a ton would be highly-enriched, bombgrade
material). This point was further buttressed
after the IAEA's vote on Saturday when Soltanieh told
Newsweek that Iran can produce enriched uranium
"by the ton". Of course, why has Iran's IAEA point
person made such revealing threats? Up to when
Soltanieh made his comments, there was only
uncorroborated speculation by Iranian opposition sources that Iran was
developing a huge enrichment capacity. By making his threats, Soltanieh
exposed Teheran's secret enrichment pursuits. Such a revelation could only
exacerbate Western, and more so Israeli, concerns that Iran is close to having a
nuclear bomb.
Iran's nuclear program became far more alarming in the past several months
because of the election of the nation's new president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad,
who has made numerous bellicose, anti-semitic remarks since taking office.
Ahmadinejad's background and religious beliefs are about as disturbing as
possible for Israel and the West. According to the BBC’s world affairs editor John
Simpson, “Ahmadinejad was a founder of the group of young activists who
swarmed over the embassy wall and held the diplomats and embassy workers
hostage for 444 days”. In other words, he was one of the architects of the Iran
hostage crisis from 1979 to 1981. What's worse, the Iranian leader has an
apocalyptic outlook and suffers from some sort of messianic complex. He is
purportedly a mahdaviat who is expecting the imminent return of Islam's 12th
Imam to save the world and wishes to sow the chaos necessary for this to occur
(more). In fact, there is reason to suspect Ahmadinejad thinks he is the returning
Moslem saviour. Even high-level officials in Iran have told the West that the man
is "certifiably insane".
So how is it that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was elected Iran's president in the first
place? Well, the odds are he wasn't. Ahmadinejad was most likely intentionally
placed in power by Iran's ruling clerics.
Consider the following. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad predicted with "no doubt" his
June election victory, months in advance, at a time when polls gave him barely 1
percent support. After the June 17th, 2005 presidential election in Iran, as the
votes were still being tallied, Ahmadinejad, who had hovered at the back of the
field of candidates in pre-election opinion surveys, announced hours before the
Interior Ministry issued its own results that he would be in the runoff. How is it
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was so certain that he would be elected Iran's new
president when all the polls indicated he was not even in the running? An
obvious explanation is that the election was rigged and the "certifiably insane"
candidate knew the ultimate outcome ahead of time. Indeed, even moderates in
Iran who usually don't speak out declared that the election was rigged. Iran's
Guardian Council, a panel controlled by hard-line clerics that has the ultimate say
over all government actions, was behind the vote counting that resulted in
Ahmadinejad's win. As Russian dictator Stalin so aptly put it: “The people who
cast the votes don't decide an election, the people who count the votes do.”
But why would Iran's ruling elite want to make such an apparent madman
president?
By intentionally giving the presidency to an apocalyptically-minded, anti-semitic
extremist who threatened to destroy Israel after taking office and then
intentionally letting the IAEA and West know that an atomic bomb is being built,
apparently sooner than later, Teheran is provoking Israel and/or the U.S. into
preemptively attacking. This, I would dare say, IS the intent. Iran is baiting Israel
and America to take military action against its nuclear facilities. If Teheran's
intention was to complete building an atomic bomb, then it should have discretely
continued clandestine efforts to do so rather than announcing to the world it's
capabilities and intentions such that Israel and/or the U.S. militarily eliminate the
developing threat. The course that Iran has chosen to follow seems geared to
provoke an attack more so than to actually complete development of a nuclear
weapon.
The problem with the historical course now unfolding is that there is reason to
believe it is scripted by the enemies of freedom not just in Teheran but, more
importantly, Moscow. This might seem hard to believe, since Russia now
appears to be a friend of the West, but alas this friendship is most likely untrue:
“War to the hilt between communism and capitalism is inevitable. Today, of course,
we are not strong enough to attack. Our time will come in thirty to forty years. To
win, we shall need the element of surprise. The bourgeoisie ... will have to be put to
sleep. So we shall begin by launching the most spectacular peace movement on
record. There will be electrifying overtures and unheard of concessions. The capitalist
countries, stupid and decadent, will rejoice to cooperate in their own destruction.
They will leap at another chance to be friends. As soon as their guard is down, we
will smash them with our clenched fist. ” - Dimitri Manuilski of the Lenin School for
Political Warfare [1933]
When Gorbachev took power in 1985, Moscow did
a sudden about face that eventually led to the
seeming collapse of Communism, the breakup of
the Soviet Union and a "New World Order" in which
Russia and America, the two nuclear superpowers,
are friends. Unfortunately, this positive turn of world
events, which seemed to bring an end to the
spectre of global nuclear war, was most likely deceptive:
“Comrades, do not be concerned about all you hear about glasnost and perestroika
and democracy in the coming years. They are primarily for outward consumption.
There will be no significant internal change within the Soviet Union other than for
cosmetic purposes. Our purpose is to disarm the Americans and let them fall asleep.”
- Mikhail Gorbachev in a speech to the Soviet Politburo, November 1987
The reality is that Russia had long realized that the only way to defeat the West
would be to trick America into disarming as much as possible and then launch a
surprise nuclear attack. Furthermore, to gain world control after the dust settles,
Russia wouldn't want to appear culpable for a global nuclear holocaust. World
War Three would need to appear to be the West's fault. Hence, Moscow devised
and implemented "The Perestroika Deception", a long-term plan by which the
West has been lulled into a false sense of security. Russian Communism came
to an end, the Soviet Union collapsed and America, history's greatest proponent
of freedom and democracy, emerged as the world's sole hegemon. Misperceiving
the Russian military threat, the Western powers have gradually dismantled Cold
War military capabilities and the U.S. has substantially reduced its nuclear
arsenal as part of disarmament agreements signed with Moscow. Meanwhile,
former Soviet puppet states, through military aggression and terrorism, have
become thorns in the side of the free world drawing the U.S. and its allies into
military action against nations like Serbia, Afghanistan and Iraq. American
military assertiveness, in turn, has been characterized to the world as Western
imperialism by our former enemy-of-old and modern leftists.
The focus of the provocations has increasingly centered on the Middle East
where the long-standing Arab-Israeli conflict has been simmering and ready to
explode into a superpower conflict since the state of Israel was established in
1948. Indeed, it could be that the nuclear confrontation between the U.S. and
Russia during the last full-scale Arab-Israeli war in 1973, the Yom Kippur War,
gave Moscow the historical precedent upon which they modeled a future
scenario for triggering a global nuclear war that will end in their favor. What's
more, Israel's 1981 air strike on Iraq's Osirak nuclear reactor, which received
international condemnation, may have given Moscow an idea for the most
effective way to provoke the next Arab-Israeli War in a manner that appears to be

TAYLOR FORENSICS PRESENTS
AN INTEL BRIEFING ON
FALL 2008
“Research is a process of elimination. Whatever remains is the
truth.” Unknown
The principal of Taylor Forensics has been researching prophetic Scripture
for over 20 years, and has never seen a year of convergent validation that
matches the geopolitical events of 2008, nor the prophetic implications of
those events.
Charles Capps stated in his book on the End Times that there exist certain
scriptures which seem to indicate that right before the Rapture, a Midnight
Cry would go forth, similar to the 40 days’ warning given to Nineveh.
It is interesting to note in the Old Testament, Book of Kings, that Elijah,
Elisha and the School of the Prophets knew the exact day Elijah would be
taken. That was under the Old Covenant and we have a much better
Covenant and Word of Promise.
A MAJOR WARNING IS ISSUED – THIS MAY BE FINAL INSPECTION.

(Rosh HaShanah is the only day in the whole year
that was
referred to as the hidden day or the day that no
man knew!)
One of the reasons most often given to disclaim that the
resurrection of the dead and the catching away of the believers is
on Rosh HaShanah is the statement given by Yeshua (Jesus) in
Matthew 24:36, as it is written, "But of that day and hour
knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but My Father
only." Because Rosh HaShanah was understood to be the hidden
day, this statement by Yeshua is actually an idiom for Rosh
Hashanah. Thus it should be given as proof that He was
speaking of Rosh HaShanah because Rosh HaShanah is the
only day in the whole year that was referred to as the hidden day
or the day that no man knew.
Rosh Hashanah is the first and second days of the first Jewish month of
Tishrei. It marks the beginning of the Jewish New Year. The celebration of
this holiday is marked with solemnity, as it is the day on which the whole
world is judged for the coming year. Rosh Hashanah is the birthday of the
world, as it was on this day that God created Man on the 6th day of creation.
Every year, on this day, we proclaim God as our one and true King.
It is impossible to adequately be informed by US Wire services. Unless
one reads the Jerusalem Post, Debka Files (Israeli Military Intel), and
GEAB (European) Bulletins world events cannot be understood.
POSSIBLE EVENTS IN THE FALL OF 2008:
1. Rapture of the Bride (Church) to Heaven on Rosh Hashanah
(The Feast of Trumpets) - September 29 to October 1, 2008.
2. New Testament Church for 7 Years in Heaven.
3. The complete destruction of Damascus, Syria. When this
happens, Iran will use this as an excuse to wipe out the U.S.
Fleet in the Persian Gulf using their new Russian ship killing
missiles. With the U.S. Fleet destroyed and with Israel’s
complete destruction of Damascus, there will be a great
incentive for all parties to sign a 7-Year Peace treaty! The
Bible says that this peace treaty will be in place at the
beginning of the 7-Year Tribulation period! Signing of the 7-
Year Peace treaty around the 1st week of October 2008 would
give the time necessary to mobilize for the attack on Israel by
Iran and Russia (the war of Gog and Magog--Ezekiel 38 & 39).
This will be history repeating itself, remember before Hitler
attacked Poland and Russia during World War II, he first
signed a peace treaty with both of them! The “hook” described
in Ezekiel that draws Russia into the “Jihad” conflict to wipe
Israel off the face of the earth, will be the treaty arrangements
that Iran and Russia had with Syria.
4. This coming Presidential Election will be the last elected
President.
5. The Bible tells us that God fights for Israel to destroy the
attacking forces. When Israel by a miracle from God wins the
war, they realize (at last) that there is a God in heaven who
fights for them and this war is the trigger for them to start:
The Third Temple in Jerusalem! Grant Jeffery feels that the
war of Gog and Magog (Ezekiel 38 & 39) will occur on the 24th
of Cheshvan! The 24th of Cheshvan, 5769 = Saturday, 22
November 2008!
7 reasons for the start of the 7-year tribulation period in:
October 2008:
1. It has been a generation (40 years) from the date that Israel once again gained
control of Jerusalem after 2,000 years during the 6 day war of 1967. A completed 41st
year has passed as of this summer. We are also coming up on the 6th decade
anniversary (60 years, meaning a “new cycle”) of when Israel became a nation. Jesus
said that the generation that sees the rebirth of Israel would see His return.
2. GEAB, a European Think Tank, has published their July-December Briefing
indicating the highest measure of alarm ever issued on an international geo-political
basis, both as regards economics and a ‘very high measure’ of probability of a Middle
East war. Mr. Bush has called the next MidEast War WWIII.
3. Global food supply is near the breaking point and out the lowest level in 30 years!
The world demand for food now out strips what the farmers can grow! To make matters
worse, the Honeybees are dying off! One-third of the human diet comes from insectpollinated
plants, and the honeybee is responsible for 80 percent of that pollination.
Experts are predicting food shortages by the fall of 2008.
4. Drought is at an epidemic level, worldwide! China, Australia, and even states in
the United States are reporting lake and river levels lower than records have been kept
(some going back over 160 years)! Where there is drought, food shortages will soon
follow.

5. A project has designed a biochip which is powered by a lithium battery
rechargeable through the temperature changes in our skin. These engineers spent one
and half million dollars doing research on the best and most convenient place to
have the biochip inserted. Guess what? These researchers found that the forehead
and the back of the hand is not just the most convenient place but is also the only
viable place for rapid, consistent temperature changes in the skin to recharge the
lithium battery. The biochip is approximately 7mm in length, .75 mm in diameter,
about the size of a grain of rice. It is capable of storing pages upon pages of
information about you. All your general history, work history, crime record, health
history and financial data can be stored on this chip.
The sending unit of the biochip puts out a digital signal and consists of bursts of 85
data bits. It also puts out a digitally created analog signal at specific intervals. Used
as a transponder this signal gives out vital information and also serves as a location
marker. The Mark is ready.
6. President George W. Bush has announced that there will be a peace treaty dividing
up Jerusalem before his term expires in 2008. The bible predicts that the 7-year
tribulation will begin in conjunction with the signing of a 7-year peace treaty. All of
these factors and the ones listed below are coming together simultaneously to produce
the “perfect storm” of the 7-year tribulation starting by the 1st week of October 2008.
7. 2007/2008 is the end of the biblical 490-year cycle and the war of Gog and
Magog--Ezekiel 38 & 39 is prophesied to happen this year. Israel has said they
will attack Iran before the end of 2008. This is the Ezekiel 38 / 39 war. They
have to: (a) While Bush is still President; (b) Before the advanced Russian air
defense system is fully installed before the end of 2008; (c) Before Iran has
nuclear capability at the end of 2008.

11th Hour Unilateral Strike on Iran’s Nuke Facilities Meir Dagan, Israeli
Mossad Chief, and a Holocaust survivor born in the Soviet Union,
who was behind the operation that took out Syria’s No. Korean
plutonium reactor in al Kebir last September, has had his tenure
extended until the end of 2009 by PM Olmert.
It is believed this extension of his tenure is in preparation for an
11th hour unilateral strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities. “It is believed
that if Iran is not stopped by October of 2008, it will be too late;
Iran will have crossed the threshold to the last lap of its military

I read years ago when Netanyahu was PM of Israel that the Chief
Rabbi at the time told him he would be the Prime Minister when
their Messiah came. Now it appears that he will be the next PM of
Israel in November of 2008; he has stated his first action after
elected will be to attack Iran.
FALL 2008
Sabbatical Year!
A number of Christians have emailed me wondering whether we are now living
in the last year before the tribulation period could begin. The reasoning behind this is,
this year in Israel is a ' shmita' year - the sabbatical year in which the Jews are
commanded by God to let the land rest from producing fruit.
In the Autumn of 2008, the Feast of Trumpets will mark the beginning of
another cycle of seven years for the Jewish people. The covenant between Israel and the
surrounding nations is also strengthened by the Antichrist for a period of seven years
(Daniel 9:27), so the thought is that this agreement could fall into one of these seven-year
cycles on the Jewish calendar. The fact that the international community is aiming for a
peace agreement by the end of 2008 is therefore quite significant. The book of Daniel
states that the actual time of Jacob's trouble will begin after the agreement is broken by
the Antichrist, and will run for a period of three and a half years (Daniel 12:7), or 42
months (Revelation 11:2), or 1260 days. Daniel also mentions another figure, 1335 days
(Daniel 12:12).
Here are the past Sabbatical Years:
69/70 AC was a Sabbatical Year:
EVENT: Destruction of the Second Temple by the Romans!
1966/67 was a Sabbatical Year:
EVENT: Six-Day war, Israel gains control of Jerusalem after 2,000 years!
2001/02 was the last Sabbatical Year:
EVENT: Destruction of the World Trade Center
2008/09 is the next Sabbatical Year:

Iran and the SS-N-22
Iran began purchasing advanced military technology from Russia soon after the
latter pulled out in 2000 from the Gore-Chernomyrdin Protocol, which limited
Russia’s sales of military equipment to Iran. Many years ago, Soviet planners
gave up trying to match the US Navy ship for ship, gun for gun, and dollar for
dollar. The Soviets simply could not compete with the high levels of US spending
required to build up and maintain a huge naval armada. They shrewdly adopted an
alternative approach based on strategic defense. They searched for weaknesses,
and sought relatively inexpensive ways to exploit those weaknesses. The Soviets
succeeded: by developing several supersonic anti-ship missiles, one of which, the
SS-N-22 Sunburn, has been called "the most lethal missile in the world today."
The SS-N-22 or ‘Sunburn” has a speed of Mach 2.5 or 1500 miles an hour, uses
stealth technology and has a range up to 130 miles. It contains a conventional
warhead of 750 lbs that can destroy most ships. Of even greater concern is
Russia’s SSN-X-26 or ‘Yakhonts’ cruise missile which has a range of 185 miles
which makes all US Navy ships in the Persian Gulf vulnerable to attack.
Blood Red Moon
(Total lunar eclipse over Jerusalem!)
It started for me with an April 30, 2008 World Net Daily story on
Blood Moons:
http://worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.printable&pageId=63076
which linked to an interview on a show called Prophecy in the News. As I
listened to the interview with Mark Blitz http://prophecyinthenews.com/ on
the Internet I took up their offer to buy a DVD. It was recorded of Mark
teaching at his church three days after his discovery about eclipses on the
Jewish holidays in 2015. At three days he had not yet seen how amazing and
compelling these eclipses would later prove to be. Sets of lunar eclipses
falling on Jewish holidays spanning 600 years from 1493 to past 2100
happened only three times. They are: in 1948 (The year of the birth of Israel
as a nation again), in 1967 (When Jerusalem was captured), and they will be
in 2015. (SEE THE CHARTS BELOW:)
Heavenly signs: Sabbatical Year 2014-2015
(September 25, 2014 - September 13, 2015)
Four Lunar Eclipses: NASA table of Lunar eclipses (2011-2020) | Jewish
Holidays (1998-2017)
The blood-red moon signifies trouble for Israel:
• Passover: April 15, 2014 | Total eclipse visible in Australia, Pacific,
Americas
• Tabernacles: October 9, 2014 | October 8, 2014 Total eclipse visible
in Asia, Australia, Pacific, Americas
• Passover: April 4, 2015 | Total eclipse visible in Asia, Australia,
Pacific, Americas
• Tabernacles: September 28, 2015 | Total eclipse visible in East
Pacific, Americas, Europe, Africa, West Asia (This is the only one
visible from Jerusalem at moon-set)
Four total blood-red moons back-to-back are rare, the only time it
happens on four Biblical holidays is in 2014/2015. The only times last
century these occurred together was in 1967/1968 when Jerusalem was
recaptured. Hebcal used to determine older Jewish holidays.
The solar eclipse signals judgment for the nations:
Why 2015?
Is it because of Isaac Newton?
Newton wrote over a million words of commentary on the books of Daniel and
Revelation. They were released in reprint only in the past few years. He thought God had
given us a way to see His "End Time" timetable. Newton thought the Second Coming of
Jesus would be the start of a Jubilee year. The keeping of when these fifty year cycles
called Jubilee years is to take place has been lost in time. They start after a count of 49
years on a Jewish Holiday, the Day of Atonement or Yom Kippur. That 50th year called a
Jubilee Year would be a time of returning land to the original owners and freeing of
slaves.
Leviticus 25:8-10
8 The Year of Jubilee
And you shall count seven sabbaths of years for yourself, seven times seven years; and
the time of the seven sabbaths of years shall be to you forty-nine years. 9 Then you shall
cause the trumpet of the Jubilee to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month; on the
Day of Atonement you shall make the trumpet to sound throughout all your land. 10 And
you shall consecrate the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land to all its
inhabitants. It shall be a Jubilee for you; and each of you shall return to his possession,
and each of you shall return to his family.
NKJV
Hears where it gets exciting, Mark Blitz wanted to see if there were any eclipses
in 2015 because he had heard about some other person’s calculations. Here is a link I
found when I Google searched June 7, 1967 and Daniel 9:25 it seems to follow along
with what Marl Blitz was saying. I know nothing else about this site but I will put some
quotes from it below. First Daniel 9:24,25,& 26 then "Newton's Riddle":
Dan 9:24-26
24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the
transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to
bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint
the most Holy.
25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to
restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and
threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous
times.
26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and
the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the
end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
KJV
"Newton's Riddle" - Jim Bramlett - Feb 27, 2008
http://www.prophecyforum.com/bramlett/newtons_riddle.html
Newton was a devout believer in Christ and Bible scholar, fluent in ancient
languages, and who translated directly from the Hebrew and Greek. He was unusually
drawn to the prophet Daniel, which he began studying at age 12 and continued until he
died at age 85. In fact, The Columbia History of the World, a secular history book,
remarks, "At the end of his days he spent more time studying and writing about the
prophecies in the Book of Daniel than he did in charting the heavens." Apparently, God
Himself put in Newton's heart this burning desire to study Daniel, then gave him the key
to the timing of Christ's return.
Could this be the final profound secret the Lord revealed to this godly genius near
the end of his life -- a secret "accidentally" discovered in the Library of Congress and
republished just in the last few years -- a secret so simple that most have missed it?
If Newton was correct in his interpretation of Daniel, the prophet to whom God
gave specific timing, then the return of the Lord Jesus Christ will be very, very soon,
indeed!
Newton's understanding of one key passage in Daniel chapter 9 is fundamentally
different from that of most common interpretations. In about 550 B.C., God gave the
prophet Daniel a view of history to the end. From Daniel 9:25, scholars usually add the
"seven weeks (of years, or 49 years) and 62 weeks (434 years)" to get 483 years and
calculate the time of Messiah's First Coming. However, Newton says there is no
linguistic basis for adding those two numbers (49 and 434), and to do so is "doing
violence to the language of Daniel." Newton says the two numbers separately speak of
both the First and Second Coming, both being counted from the "going forth of the
commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem." Some commentators agree.
Newton says the "62 weeks," or 434-year part was fulfilled at the First Coming, and the
"seven weeks," or 49-year part will apply to the Second Coming. And three centuries ago
he saw in the Scriptures and wrote about the rebirth of Israel at a time when such a
thought was preposterous. Amazingly by faith and understanding of the Scriptures, he
foresaw a "friendly kingdom" someday again issuing the "commandment to restore and
build Jerusalem." Now, centuries later, that "friendly kingdom" may have been the
United Nations, which decreed Israel's rebirth in November, 1947, causing Israel to be
reborn in May, 1948.
...if you use exactly 49 Jewish (360-day, prophetic) years from the day Israel captured
the Temple Mount on June 7, 1967, you get 49 X 360 = 17640 days, which amazingly
takes one exactly to September 23, 2015, the Day of Atonement 2015!
Now what I am about to say is personal speculation - If you go back 7 years
from the Day of Atonement in 2015, you arrive at the Day of Atonement in 2008,
October 9. Therefore, (in my opinion) astronomical signs prove 100% that the ending
of the 7-year tribulation period is in the fall of 2015! Therefore, the beginning of the
7-year tribulation period and the rapture starts in the fall of 2008!
This is further personal belief:
If the final 7 years do, in fact, begins on:
October 9, 2008, then:
The rapture MUST take place on:
Rosh HaShanah 2008
(September 29, 2008 to October 1, 2008)!
Remember Newton thought the second coming would start a Jubilee year, which
starts on a Day of Atonement. Adding a 49 biblical 360-day years to one of the most
significant dates in Bible prophecy and coming up to a Day of Atonement are 365 to 1
odds. Yet there it is 49 Jewish (360-day, prophetic) years from the day Israel captured the
Temple Mount on June 7, 1967, you get 49 X 360 = 17640 days, which amazingly takes
one exactly to September 23, 2015, the Day of Atonement 2015!
Now you know why Mark Blitz looked to see if there were any eclipses in 2015
and as he said it blew his mind. By going to the NASA's website, you can look into the
eclipses on your own.
The reason to subtract seven years from 2015 is to account for the time named the
Tribulation, the events in the book of Revelation. Most of us think the Rapture, the taking
away of Believers happens just before the Tribulation starts.
Another Newton site: http://www.csg.net/eschatology/Newton.htm
The 'rapture' is an important part of Christian doctrine, and for those of you not
familiar with the Christian rapture I will summarize it's basic principles:
Throughout the Bible God threatens judgment (wrath) on sinful governments and
people who refuse to follow him or his commandments.
In the 'end times' as famously portrayed in Revelation (last chapter of the Bible), these
judgments finally unfold to start the period known as the "Tribulation" and result in
devastating wars and natural disasters, all for the purpose of bringing God's unrepentant
people to repentance, and separating the good people from the wicked and corrupt of the
world.
The 'Pre-Tribulation' rapture represents God taking some of his people from the Earth
before the Tribulation; these are Christians in high standing with God who do not have to
suffer through his judgments of wrath that come on the world.
Breaking News: God Not Pleased with Christian Majority
A careful study of what God says in Revelation (chapters 2 and 3) to the seven early
churches gives us some major clues as to how God views all populations of Christians.
Notice that only the Philadelphia Church (and a number of believers at the churches in
Sardis and Smyrna) is without fault and has no need to "repent". They are the only church
guaranteed to be spared the 'hour of trial' (Revelation 3:10).
The remaining six churches (which would mean the majority of Christians) have the need
to overcome sin in order to make themselves worthy. If they do not repent and embrace
full love and faith in God (as warned specifically in these letters) they MUST go through
the Tribulation, a time of severe testing and persecution, "such has never been seen
before or will ever be seen again".
If you believe that Chapters 2 and 3 of Revelation only apply to the churches two
thousand years ago, please note that each letter ends with: "Anyone who has an ear
should listen to what the Spirit says to the churches."
The Rapture
In 1 Thessalonians, in the New Testament of the Bible, the apostle Paul talks about the
'end times' and a sudden, unexpected calamity that comes upon the world.
1 Thessalonians 5:2 - "... The Day of the Lord will come just as a thief in the night.
When they say "Peace and security," then sudden destruction comes on them..."
Then a few lines down, 1 Thessalonians: 5:9 reads: "For God did not appoint us to
wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ."
According to Paul, when the world is saying "Peace and security", sudden destruction
hits... however as then stated by Paul, believers in Christ are not 'appointed' to this wrath,
which comes upon the world and starts the Tribulation, which includes the Anti-Christ
ruling for 42 months and the entire period believed by many theologians to last up to 7
years.
Jesus said:
John 14:1-3 - "Your heart must not be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in Me.
In My Father's house are many dwelling places; if not, I would have told you. I am
going away to prepare a place for you. If I go away and prepare a place for you, I
will come back and receive you to Myself, so that where I am you may be also."
With this well known passage by Jesus, we have proof that God has prepared a new
world for his faithful believers. Of course, this leaves us with the question: "When will
faithful believers be taken there?"
Left Behind and 666 (the Mark of the Beast)
Revelation 3:3 - Remember therefore what you have received and heard; keep it,
and repent. But if you are not alert, I will come like a thief, and you have no idea at
what hour I will come against you.
What happens to people who don't escape God's judgment on the world, who are stuck on
Earth for the period of Tribulation? Who wake up one morning and discover that people
are missing?
Obviously, they have to take part in it. These are the unbelievers and Christians of halfhearted
faith who finally repent and turn away from wickedness and profess full love and
faith in God during the time of Tribulation.
This group must cope with the rule of the infamous Anti-Christ and refuse to worship
him or his image, and refuse 'the mark' that enables people to buy and sell under the Anti-
Christ's temporary new world order.
Many of these Christians are reported by the Bible to be executed for refusing the mark
of the Anti-Christ – these Christians choose execution, because the alternative is eternal
torment in Hell, which is the punishment promised by God if his people take the mark (so
if you are left behind, whatever happens, do not take the mark).
On top of that, natural disasters will be occurring all across the world, with greater
frequency and terrifying effects. Earthquakes, hurricanes, tsunamis, heat waves, famine,
plagues – in many places these disasters will be so widespread that the Anti-Christ will
be the least of peoples' concerns.
First Fruits vs. The Elect
Luke 21:36 - "But be alert at all times, praying that you may be counted worthy to
escape all these things that are going to take place, and to stand before the Son of
Man."
Here, we have a passage in Luke that tells us to pray 'to escape all these things that are
going to take place' AND 'be counted worthy'. The things that are going to take place are
the disastrous and terrifying events of the Tribulation, which as stated above, the
Philadelphia Church in Revelation 3:10 is told it will be spared from.
If you're taking notes, Luke 21:36 and Revelation 3:10 appear to state the same thing –
that at least some believers will be counted worthy to escape 'these things that are going
to take place' (Luke 21:36) and be spared from the 'hour of trial' (Revelation 3:10).
Bonnie Gaunt on the Rapture
From Jim Bramlett:
Yesterday I received an interesting three-page paper in the mail from author and Bible
codes expert, friend Bonnie Gaunt. (She is not online.) Bonnie has written several books
on the Bible codes, has been interviewed on secular network television and also Christian
television, including the 700 Club.
Bonnie has discovered some new things:
1. There is a direct relationship between the Hebrew words for Rapture and 1st Tishri
(Rosh Hashanah). Tishri is the first month in the Hebrew civil year. When reversed, three
of its letters, and sometimes all four, she says, spell the Hebrew word which could be
interpreted as "rapture."
2. In Deuteronomy, "the combination of the word Rapture and Tishri can be found over
and over again in the ELS code." She says that many times in that book the words
Rapture and 1st Tishri actually come together and cross. (1st Tishri is the Feast of
Trumpets.)
3. Bonnie says, "There are many indications in both the chronology of the Scriptures, and
in the prophetic word, that would suggest the return of Jesus for His bride will be on the
1st day of Tishri, which is the day of the Feast of Trumpets. The chronology suggests that
this would occur on the Feast of Trumpets in the year 2008.... On our calendar this would
be September 29, 2008."
4. In the excerpted Bible code matrix she sent me, she identifies the following words
appearing very near each other in Deuterononomy 16: 5769 (the Jewish year which
begins September 29, 2008), come away with me, Messiah (twice), Return (interwoven
twice in Messiah), Midnight To reign.
Also, her new book is available (but she has to charge for this): "The Coming of Jesus:
The Real Message of the Bible Codes."
Russian military stalls on reports Ukraine sold warheads to Iran
http://en.rian.ru/russia/20060403/45107320.html 3-4-06
MOSCOW, April 3 (RIA Novosti) - The chief of Russia's General Staff said Monday he
could neither confirm nor deny reports that Ukraine had sold 250 nuclear warheads to
Iran.
"Russia's General Staff has no information about whether Ukraine has given 250 nuclear
warheads to Iran or not," General Yury Baluyevsky, also deputy defense minister, said in
response to an article in Novaya Gazeta newspaper Monday. "I do not comment on
unsubstantiated reports."
The newspaper said that Ukraine had failed to return 250 warheads to Russia in the 1990s
when the former Soviet republic declared itself a nuclear-free zone. The paper suggested
the warheads could have been sold to a third country, including Iran.
Russian General Confirms Iran Has Nuclear Weapons
Stratford Intelligence, Week of June 4, 2002
http://cuttingedge.org/news/n1660.cfm
A Russian general's statement about Iran's nukes fails to register with media. Sometime a
slip of the tongue is so incredible that no amount of doctoring can explain it. And
sometimes a slip of the tongue is as intentional as could be. Take an appearance by
Russian Deputy Chief of Staff Gen. Yuri Baluyevsky. He gave a briefing on Friday in
Moscow during the Bush-Putin summit and was asked about whether Iran actually fired
the Shihab-3 intermediate-range missile in a successful test earlier this month. The
second question was whether Iran can threaten Israel, Russia or the United States with its
nuclear and missile programs.
Then the Russian general takes a surprise turn: 'Now, as to whether or not Iran has tested
something like that. Iran does have nuclear weapons,' Baluyevsky said. 'Of course, these
are non-strategic nuclear weapons. I mean these are not ICBMs with a range of more than
5,500 kilometers and more."
Now this is shocking news, indeed! This Russian general has just confirmed that Iran has
nuclear warheads and theater missiles with which to deliver them! And, he seems not to
be concerned because these warheads cannot yet hit Russian soil. If Iran has nuclear
weapons and the missile capability with which to deliver them to Israeli targets, then the
entire calculation of military balance in the Middle East may just have changed.
Iran Has Missiles to Carry Nuclear Warheads
By Con Coughlin - NEWS.TELEGRAPH - 07/04/2006
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2006/04/07/wiran07.xml
Iran has successfully developed ballistic missiles with the capability to carry nuclear
warheads.
Detailed analysis of recent test firings of the Shahab-3 ballistic missile by military
experts has concluded that Iran has been able to modify the nose cone to carry a basic
nuclear bomb. The discovery will intensify international pressure on Teheran to provide a
comprehensive breakdown of its nuclear research program.
An Iranian Shahab-3 missile on parade in
Teheran
Last week, the United Nations Security Council gave Iran 30 days to freeze its uranium
enrichment program that many experts believe is part of a clandestine attempt to produce
nuclear weapons.
Iran denies it is trying to acquire a nuclear arsenal. But ballistic missile experts advising
the United States say it has succeeded in reconfiguring the Shahab-3 to carry nuclear
weapons.
The Shahab-3 is a modified version of North Korea's Nodong missile which itself is
based on the old Soviet-made Scud.
The Nodong, which Iran secretly acquired from North Korea in the mid-1990s, is
designed to carry a conventional warhead. But Iranian engineers have been working for
several years to adapt the Shahab-3 to carry nuclear weapons.
"This is a major breakthrough for the Iranians," said a senior US official. "They have
been trying to do this for years and now they have succeeded. It is a very disturbing
development."
The Shahab 3 has a range of 800 miles, enabling it to hit a wide range of targets
throughout the Middle East - including Israel.
Apart from modifying the nose cone, Iranian technicians are also trying to make a
number of technical adjustments that will enable the missile to travel a greater distance.
Western intelligence officials believe that Iran is receiving assistance from teams of
Russian and Chinese experts with experience of developing nuclear weapons. Experts
who have studied the latest version of the Shahab have identified modifications to the
nose cone. Instead of the single cone normally attached to this type of missile, the new
Shahab has three cones, or a triconic, warhead. A triconic warhead allows the missile to
accommodate a nuclear device and this type of warhead is normally found only in nuclear
weapons.
According to the new research, the Iranian warhead is designed to carry a spherical
nuclear weapon that would be detonated 2,000 feet above the ground, similar to the
Hiroshima bomb.
The development of the Shahab-3 is just one element of a wide-ranging missile
development program. In 2003 the Iranians concluded another secret deal with North
Korea to buy the Taepo Dong 2 missile, which has a range of 2,200 miles and would
enable Iran to hit targets in mainland Europe. Earlier this week the Iranians announced
that they had successfully test-fired a new missile, the Fajr-3, which has the capability to
evade radar systems and carry multiple warheads.
HOW TO PREPARE FOR CHRIST'S RETURN
The Bible indicates that there will be two groups of people on the earth when Jesus
suddenly returns. The first group consists of those individuals that have received Jesus
Christ's free gift of Salvation. These are the Children of Light. They know the signs of
His return and are anxiously awaiting Him (1 Thes 5:1-4). The other group will consist of
those whose love for the Lord has grown cold and the Unbelievers who want nothing to
do with Jesus' free gift of salvation.
This latter group is like the people who lived in Noah's time. In that day, the
people were completely caught up with the affairs of everyday living and wanted
nothing to do with spiritual things until the flood came. By then, it was too late.
THE VITAL AND ESSENTIAL WORK OF THE WATCHMAN
OVER GOD'S COVENANT PEOPLE.
Such is the work of a watchman. If the people are forewarned and if they
have responded and brought themselves into readiness then this timely
warning can turn a potential disaster into a victory. In the case of God's
covenant people it is no different. We are in a spiritual war and
increasingly so as the Day approaches. Our enemy certainly knows a lot of
what is going on. And he knows that the day of his judgment is
approaching. The church is advancing expanding by leaps and bounds
over in the third world. Our enemy is actively responding to these
developing realities. How about us back here in the comfort zone as we sit
in our padded pews? Do we know what's going on? In the spiritual arena
there are also serious consequences for an unfaithful watchman. Ezekiel
had this spelled out for him very clearly. God said that as a prophet he,
Ezekiel, had been made a watchman over the House of Israel. He was told
that if he saw the enemy coming and he failed to blow the trumpet and
sound the alarm then there would be some dreadful consequences for him.
God said that He will actually require the blood of the people at the
watchman's hand. This is an awful thing. Ministers and believers of today
are wise to heed this warning.

How to Make the First Rapture
It's clear from reading Matthew above, that there are two raptures – and considering
current events, the first rapture may be a lot sooner than you think.
Right now it is very important that you become true to the Christian faith, REPENT
of any sin still in your life, and become passionate about God's Greatest
Commandment for our lives (Matthew 22:37). Jesus replied: "Love the Lord your God
with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.”
Remember, just because you're a Christian does not mean that God is pleased with you.
God knows hearts and minds, and he knows every detail about you. He knows where
your faith is.
True faith begins with your accepting his gift of forgiveness of sins, for which Jesus
Christ, his son, died on the cross.
Now as a believer in Christ, pray to God for sanctification (1 Thess. 5:23) by his Holy
Spirit, so that you can escape sin, and be made holy and righteous, in the image of Christ.
You must become purified by the renewing of your mind.
This simply means that you embrace God's commandments to love God and neighbor;
that you eliminate deceit, corruption, and immorality from your life, and you pursue what
is good and reject what is bad.
You must read the Bible. Considering world events and that Revelation is unfolding in
the world around us, I would put prayer and Bible study at the top of your daily list of
priorities – and get yourself into a Fundamentalist Christian church, that believes in a
pre-tribulation rapture.
You will most likely hear sermons that encourage higher standards of Christian living
and clear warnings of Hell as well as demands for full repentance of sin. If you don't
believe God holds us to higher standards, then I suggest you read Chapters 2 and 3 of
Revelation. God is very clear on what he demands from us – he demands that we
overcome sin.
Fear God. Love God. Obey his commandments. Embrace his Greatest Commandment.
Last, you must not want anything to do with this world, and instead look forward to the
return of Jesus Christ, which Jesus told us himself to be on the alert for, as it can happen
at any time.
God wants you to look forward to the world he has promised us because it is going
to put this world to shame.
UPDATE: I’ve been in touch with a Pastor in Reno, Nevada of a Full Gospel
Fellowship who has a high level of interest in eschatology, and he utilized the dates
in this study and was able to triangulate every major event in the Book of
Revelation within these parenthesis God has provided.
Upon request I’ll provide you his name and email. If you’re familiar with Bible
prophecy, you probably already know who he is.

Intel briefing – ussr \ iran
The International Atomic Energy Agency
(IAEA) referred Iran to the United Nations
Security Council for being in breach of the
Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty's (NPT)
safeguards agreement. Teheran has
responded to the referral by ending
diplomacy, stopping cooperation with the
IAEA and starting "industrial scale" Uranium
enrichment that could produce dozens of
nuclear warheads per year.
Meanwhile, Israel (and the U.S.) is making
preparations to launch a military strike to
destroy Iran's nuclear facilities and set the Islamic nation's nuclear pursuits back
years. The prospect of a nuclear-armed Iran, led by its new, rabidly anti-semitic
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who has denied the Holocaust and called for
Israel to be "wiped off the map", is intolerable for the Jewish state. Iran's nuclear
program constitutes an "existential threat" for Israel that, if not mitigated by
international diplomacy, Jerusalem will stop with military force similar, but far
larger in scope, to the 1981 air strike on Iraq's Osirak nuclear reactor. Iran's
ending diplomacy and start of industrial-scale reprocessing of enriched uranium
might be enough to trigger the threatened Israeli attack.
If Israel strikes Iran's nuclear facilities, Teheran has
threatened to retaliate by, at the least, launching ballistic
missiles at Israel. Presumably these missiles, unlike the
SCUDs launched against Israel by Saddam Hussein during
the Gulf War, will carry chemical and/or biological warheads.
Iranian-backed Hezbollah forces in southern Lebanon could
likewise launch a barrage of missiles into northern Israel on
Iran's behalf. Furthermore, Syria, which has forged a military
alliance with Iran, would likely be drawn into the fray of any
conflict and could launch SCUD missiles armed with
weapons of mass destruction (some leftover from Iraq)
against Israel as the fourth full-scale Arab/Israeli War gets underway.
Should such a conflict erupt, it is important that the world understand the true
cause. In this regard, one needs to understand that the current international crisis
concerning Iran's nuclear pursuits is not what it seems. There's an ulterior motive
behind what's happening.
The most important reason the IAEA concluded that Iran was violating the NPT
was a set of documents discovered in Teheran that could only be used for the
purpose of building an atomic bomb. These documents constitute the proverbial
"smoking gun" that led the IAEA to refer Iran to the U.N. Security Council. But
how did the IAEA get its hands on these sensitive Iranian documents?
Newsweek reported the following:
Then there’s the problem with the papers Iran did cough up. Last fall, after more than
two years keeping the IAEA waiting, the Iranians finally produced two cardboard
boxes full of papers which they allowed inspectors to examine only in an Iranian
government office in Teheran. As the IAEA’s people read through the documents,
they came across about 10 pages that looked suspicious, to say the least: general
specifications for casting uranium metal in a spherical form that could well make up
the core of an atomic bomb. In a curious arrangement, the Iranians videotaped the
inspectors while they were looking at the papers, but wouldn’t allow the IAEA to
make any photographs or copies. The IAEA wants to get those documents in its
hands, and it wants to know what the hell they were doing in the files of Iran’s
“peaceful” program to begin with. (Newsweek, "Countdown To A Showdown", Jan.
23, 2006)
The problem is, why did Iran cough up this set of documents? These "two
cardboard boxes full of papers" were provided after a two year wait by the IAEA.
One would think that Iranian intelligence would have carefully scrutinized each
and every page that was to be handed over. They had two years to do so. Yet,
there were 10 pages there about how to shape uranium metal into a spherical
form, information that could only be used in building a nuclear bomb. So why
were these incredibly incriminating pages handed over? It seems like Teheran
intentionally provided information that directly revealed its pursuit of a nuclear
bomb.
Another surprising admission by Iran
is that it is has tens of thousands of
centrifuges that will now be used for
"industrial scale" reprocessing that
can produce enough highly enriched
uranium for dozens of nuclear bombs
per year. The U.S. National
Intelligence Assessment, a
consensus view of U.S. agencies,
has been that Iran will not have a
nuclear weapon until 2010 at the
earliest. However, there's been
growing concern about Iran's secret
Natanz uranium reprocessing facility. Iranian opposition sources said Teheran
built centrifuges for its nuclear plant at Natanz without the knowledge of the IAEA
and the European Union (EU). New construction at Natanz reportedly includes
underground centrifuge cascade halls for a fuel enrichment plant designed to
contain around 50,000 centrifuges. According to Paul Leventhal, president of the
Washington-based Nuclear Control Institute, "If the information obtained by the
Iranian opposition can be verified, then we have a major crisis on our hands."
Indeed, outside specialists believe that, if the reports are correct about Natanz,
then Iran is only months or a year away from having its first crude nuclear device.
Any doubts about whether Iran was assembling a massive fuel enrichment
capacity were put to rest in late-January when Teheran's IAEA Ambassador, Ali
Asghar Soltanieh, said that, should his nation be referred to the U.N. Security
Council, Iran will start "commercial industrial scale enrichment" using "more than
50,000 centrifuge machines....with the capacity of
[producing] 30 tons [of enriched uranium] per year" (of
which around a ton would be highly-enriched, bombgrade
material). This point was further buttressed
after the IAEA's vote on Saturday when Soltanieh told
Newsweek that Iran can produce enriched uranium
"by the ton". Of course, why has Iran's IAEA point
person made such revealing threats? Up to when
Soltanieh made his comments, there was only
uncorroborated speculation by Iranian opposition sources that Iran was
developing a huge enrichment capacity. By making his threats, Soltanieh
exposed Teheran's secret enrichment pursuits. Such a revelation could only
exacerbate Western, and more so Israeli, concerns that Iran is close to having a
nuclear bomb.
Iran's nuclear program became far more alarming in the past several months
because of the election of the nation's new president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad,
who has made numerous bellicose, anti-semitic remarks since taking office.
Ahmadinejad's background and religious beliefs are about as disturbing as
possible for Israel and the West. According to the BBC’s world affairs editor John
Simpson, “Ahmadinejad was a founder of the group of young activists who
swarmed over the embassy wall and held the diplomats and embassy workers
hostage for 444 days”. In other words, he was one of the architects of the Iran
hostage crisis from 1979 to 1981. What's worse, the Iranian leader has an
apocalyptic outlook and suffers from some sort of messianic complex. He is
purportedly a mahdaviat who is expecting the imminent return of Islam's 12th
Imam to save the world and wishes to sow the chaos necessary for this to occur
(more). In fact, there is reason to suspect Ahmadinejad thinks he is the returning
Moslem saviour. Even high-level officials in Iran have told the West that the man
is "certifiably insane".
So how is it that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was elected Iran's president in the first
place? Well, the odds are he wasn't. Ahmadinejad was most likely intentionally
placed in power by Iran's ruling clerics.
Consider the following. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad predicted with "no doubt" his
June election victory, months in advance, at a time when polls gave him barely 1
percent support. After the June 17th, 2005 presidential election in Iran, as the
votes were still being tallied, Ahmadinejad, who had hovered at the back of the
field of candidates in pre-election opinion surveys, announced hours before the
Interior Ministry issued its own results that he would be in the runoff. How is it
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was so certain that he would be elected Iran's new
president when all the polls indicated he was not even in the running? An
obvious explanation is that the election was rigged and the "certifiably insane"
candidate knew the ultimate outcome ahead of time. Indeed, even moderates in
Iran who usually don't speak out declared that the election was rigged. Iran's
Guardian Council, a panel controlled by hard-line clerics that has the ultimate say
over all government actions, was behind the vote counting that resulted in
Ahmadinejad's win. As Russian dictator Stalin so aptly put it: “The people who
cast the votes don't decide an election, the people who count the votes do.”
But why would Iran's ruling elite want to make such an apparent madman
president?
By intentionally giving the presidency to an apocalyptically-minded, anti-semitic
extremist who threatened to destroy Israel after taking office and then
intentionally letting the IAEA and West know that an atomic bomb is being built,
apparently sooner than later, Teheran is provoking Israel and/or the U.S. into
preemptively attacking. This, I would dare say, IS the intent. Iran is baiting Israel
and America to take military action against its nuclear facilities. If Teheran's
intention was to complete building an atomic bomb, then it should have discretely
continued clandestine efforts to do so rather than announcing to the world it's
capabilities and intentions such that Israel and/or the U.S. militarily eliminate the
developing threat. The course that Iran has chosen to follow seems geared to
provoke an attack more so than to actually complete development of a nuclear
weapon.
The problem with the historical course now unfolding is that there is reason to
believe it is scripted by the enemies of freedom not just in Teheran but, more
importantly, Moscow. This might seem hard to believe, since Russia now
appears to be a friend of the West, but alas this friendship is most likely untrue:
“War to the hilt between communism and capitalism is inevitable. Today, of course,
we are not strong enough to attack. Our time will come in thirty to forty years. To
win, we shall need the element of surprise. The bourgeoisie ... will have to be put to
sleep. So we shall begin by launching the most spectacular peace movement on
record. There will be electrifying overtures and unheard of concessions. The capitalist
countries, stupid and decadent, will rejoice to cooperate in their own destruction.
They will leap at another chance to be friends. As soon as their guard is down, we
will smash them with our clenched fist. ” - Dimitri Manuilski of the Lenin School for
Political Warfare [1933]
When Gorbachev took power in 1985, Moscow did
a sudden about face that eventually led to the
seeming collapse of Communism, the breakup of
the Soviet Union and a "New World Order" in which
Russia and America, the two nuclear superpowers,
are friends. Unfortunately, this positive turn of world
events, which seemed to bring an end to the
spectre of global nuclear war, was most likely deceptive:
“Comrades, do not be concerned about all you hear about glasnost and perestroika
and democracy in the coming years. They are primarily for outward consumption.
There will be no significant internal change within the Soviet Union other than for
cosmetic purposes. Our purpose is to disarm the Americans and let them fall asleep.”
- Mikhail Gorbachev in a speech to the Soviet Politburo, November 1987
The reality is that Russia had long realized that the only way to defeat the West
would be to trick America into disarming as much as possible and then launch a
surprise nuclear attack. Furthermore, to gain world control after the dust settles,
Russia wouldn't want to appear culpable for a global nuclear holocaust. World
War Three would need to appear to be the West's fault. Hence, Moscow devised
and implemented "The Perestroika Deception", a long-term plan by which the
West has been lulled into a false sense of security. Russian Communism came
to an end, the Soviet Union collapsed and America, history's greatest proponent
of freedom and democracy, emerged as the world's sole hegemon. Misperceiving
the Russian military threat, the Western powers have gradually dismantled Cold
War military capabilities and the U.S. has substantially reduced its nuclear
arsenal as part of disarmament agreements signed with Moscow. Meanwhile,
former Soviet puppet states, through military aggression and terrorism, have
become thorns in the side of the free world drawing the U.S. and its allies into
military action against nations like Serbia, Afghanistan and Iraq. American
military assertiveness, in turn, has been characterized to the world as Western
imperialism by our former enemy-of-old and modern leftists.
The focus of the provocations has increasingly centered on the Middle East
where the long-standing Arab-Israeli conflict has been simmering and ready to
explode into a superpower conflict since the state of Israel was established in
1948. Indeed, it could be that the nuclear confrontation between the U.S. and
Russia during the last full-scale Arab-Israeli war in 1973, the Yom Kippur War,
gave Moscow the historical precedent upon which they modeled a future
scenario for triggering a global nuclear war that will end in their favor. What's
more, Israel's 1981 air strike on Iraq's Osirak nuclear reactor, which received
international condemnation, may have given Moscow an idea for the most
effective way to provoke the next Arab-Israeli War in a manner that appears to be
