                WORLD EVENTS       FROM A   BIBLICAL PERSPECTIVE
Many have stated that it is impossible to know whether or not we are living in the last days
                              before the second coming of Jesus Christ. However, below you will find dramatic proof that
                              these are the endtimes. The proofs below defy coincidence.



Euphrates River to Be Dried Up                                         In Revelation 16:12, the Bible predicts that the Euphrates River
will be dried up to prepare the way for the kings of the east to invade Israel. This will happen at the time of the battle of Armageddon
according to verse 16 of the same chapter. The battle of Armageddon will be the final battle at which time Jesus will return and fight
on the side of the nation of Israel. Immediately thereafter He will establish His kingdom and usher in His one thousand-year reign of
peace. On January 13, 1990, the Indianapolis Star carried the headline “Turkey Will Cut Off Flow of Euphrates for One Month.” The
article stated that a huge reservoir had been built by Turkey. While filling up the reservoir, the flow of the Euphrates would be stopped
for one month and a concrete plug for a diversion channel built. These things have now been done. With this newly built dam, Turkey
has the ability to stop the Euphrates River at will. The conditions for fulfilling this 1,900 year-old prophecy are now in place.



                                                                 China Goes to War                         In Revelation 9:15-16,
the Bible prophesies that an army of 200 million soldiers will launch a war which would kill “the third part of men.”
 Never in the history of the world until our present generation has there been a power in earth that could field 200
million soldiers. However, the late ruler of China, Mao Tse Tung boasted in his diary that he could filed an army of
200 million. The CIA World Factbook reported that as of the end of 1999, China had 198 million men of military
age, and this number is growing by 10 million per year.




Worldwide Numbering System Predicted                                                         In Revelation 13, the Bible prophesies that a
world dictator will soon rule over a world government. He will cause all people in the earth to receive a number without which they
will be unable to buy or sell. We are seeing this prophecy fulfilled before our eyes in a most astonishing way. Nearly every human
being in the world now has been assigned a number. In America it is our Social Security number. In the past few years, we have seen
this number extended to newborns. A child without a Social Security number cannot be declared as a dependent on an income tax
return. We have seen the emergence of electronic money, shopping with credit cards, and many people urging the abolishment of cash.
All of these things could not possibly have been fulfilled until this present time. Only after the invention of the computer could such a
worldwide numbering system be administered.




                              The Emergence of a New World Order                                                    Revelation 13:7 and
Daniel 7:23 prophesy the establishment of a world government. The term “New World Order” has become a prevalent phrase in the
world’s political culture. Mikhail Gorbachev made the term famous, and Pope John Paul II has referred to it repeatedly. In the
September 12, 1990 issue of the Chicago Tribune, our former president George Bush said, “Iraq is the first test for the New World
Order.” He emphatically stated that the Iraq War is Saddam Hussein against the world. The United Nations’ troops are continually
referred to as the multi-national forces. The decision has been made to establish an interdependent community of nations that will rule
the world under United Nations authority. The Bible says that this will lead us into a great world government. The formation of this
government is at hand.




                                              or Divine Providence?
Is it coincidental that all of these major prophecies pertaining to the last times are being fulfilled simultaneously?


                                                                                                                     Hardly.

felt that the time was right to conduct a
reappraisal of the structures of the UN.

tiative of Willy Brandt, former Prime

Carlsson of Stockholm and Shridath
Ramphal of London. Their job was to
evaluate the path that global governance
should take as the world entered into the
21st Century.

Community in November 1994 under
the title Our Global Neighborhood. Since

adequately appreciates what is going on
here. Back in 1996 when Taiwan had its
first democratic elections, China launched
missiles five miles off the coast of Taiwan
as a warning. The U.S. countered by put-
ting two of our aircraft carriers, into the
straits of Taiwan. China had no military
answer for our aircraft carriers. Shortly
thereafter, China placed an order with
Russia for two Sovremenny destroyers.
They have just taken delivery of these
ships. And as you mentioned, Ed, they do
have nuclear warhead capabilities. After
five years, China now has an answer to our
aircraft carriers.

  Timperlake: Yes. That is true.

   Baxter: Let’s go down a different road
now. George Bush is announcing the
implementation of an anti-missile defense
system. One date I read was that by 2004
we will have some of those weapons in
place.

Is the UN a World Government? - jul-aug 2001

  • 1. Vol. 11/No. 4 www.endtime.com July/August 2001 $3.00 WORLD EVENTS FROM A BIBLICAL PERSPECTIVE
  • 2. Many have stated that it is impossible to know whether or not we are living in the last days before the second coming of Jesus Christ. However, below you will find dramatic proof that these are the endtimes. The proofs below defy coincidence. Euphrates River to Be Dried Up In Revelation 16:12, the Bible predicts that the Euphrates River will be dried up to prepare the way for the kings of the east to invade Israel. This will happen at the time of the battle of Armageddon according to verse 16 of the same chapter. The battle of Armageddon will be the final battle at which time Jesus will return and fight on the side of the nation of Israel. Immediately thereafter He will establish His kingdom and usher in His one thousand-year reign of peace. On January 13, 1990, the Indianapolis Star carried the headline “Turkey Will Cut Off Flow of Euphrates for One Month.” The article stated that a huge reservoir had been built by Turkey. While filling up the reservoir, the flow of the Euphrates would be stopped for one month and a concrete plug for a diversion channel built. These things have now been done. With this newly built dam, Turkey has the ability to stop the Euphrates River at will. The conditions for fulfilling this 1,900 year-old prophecy are now in place. China Goes to War In Revelation 9:15-16, the Bible prophesies that an army of 200 million soldiers will launch a war which would kill “the third part of men.” Never in the history of the world until our present generation has there been a power in earth that could field 200 million soldiers. However, the late ruler of China, Mao Tse Tung boasted in his diary that he could filed an army of 200 million. The CIA World Factbook reported that as of the end of 1999, China had 198 million men of military age, and this number is growing by 10 million per year. Worldwide Numbering System Predicted In Revelation 13, the Bible prophesies that a world dictator will soon rule over a world government. He will cause all people in the earth to receive a number without which they will be unable to buy or sell. We are seeing this prophecy fulfilled before our eyes in a most astonishing way. Nearly every human being in the world now has been assigned a number. In America it is our Social Security number. In the past few years, we have seen this number extended to newborns. A child without a Social Security number cannot be declared as a dependent on an income tax return. We have seen the emergence of electronic money, shopping with credit cards, and many people urging the abolishment of cash. All of these things could not possibly have been fulfilled until this present time. Only after the invention of the computer could such a worldwide numbering system be administered. The Emergence of a New World Order Revelation 13:7 and Daniel 7:23 prophesy the establishment of a world government. The term “New World Order” has become a prevalent phrase in the world’s political culture. Mikhail Gorbachev made the term famous, and Pope John Paul II has referred to it repeatedly. In the September 12, 1990 issue of the Chicago Tribune, our former president George Bush said, “Iraq is the first test for the New World Order.” He emphatically stated that the Iraq War is Saddam Hussein against the world. The United Nations’ troops are continually referred to as the multi-national forces. The decision has been made to establish an interdependent community of nations that will rule the world under United Nations authority. The Bible says that this will lead us into a great world government. The formation of this government is at hand. or Divine Providence?

  • 16. Exclusive Interview they have already run a few laps around AP WideWorld Photo/Wally Santana the track, and we’re still trying to get our shoes on. We were going backward in this regard up until just a few weeks ago. Baxter: I want to make sure everyone adequately appreciates what is going on here. Back in 1996 when Taiwan had its first democratic elections, China launched missiles five miles off the coast of Taiwan as a warning. The U.S. countered by put- ting two of our aircraft carriers, into the straits of Taiwan. China had no military answer for our aircraft carriers. Shortly thereafter, China placed an order with Russia for two Sovremenny destroyers. They have just taken delivery of these ships. And as you mentioned, Ed, they do have nuclear warhead capabilities. After five years, China now has an answer to our aircraft carriers. Timperlake: Yes. That is true. Baxter: Let’s go down a different road now. George Bush is announcing the implementation of an anti-missile defense system. One date I read was that by 2004 we will have some of those weapons in place. Look at it from China’s viewpoint. They have threatened to take Taiwan. They said you can stake your life on it; we are going to do it; in fact, we are willing to “shed all of our blood if necessary.” Democracy works. Taiwan proves it and China is extremely fearful of it. Vice President Annette Lu is the Those were the exact words of Zhu ultimate testimony to Taiwan’s democratic system – that a woman who fought for her country’s democra- Rongji, the Prime Minister of China. tization and spent five years behind bars as a political prisoner can rise to such a position.
