A Israeli slave. Anger welled up in him when he saw the angry stripe that was left across the Jewish
back. At that moment, he made up in his mind that he and his people were leaving that place! It
took forty years, but leave they did.
The excitement was high as they headed north toward the long-dreamed-of “Promised Land.”
Little did Moses know that it would be forty years before he would stand on Mount Nebo, gazing
longingly into the land of Israel. That was as close as he would ever get.
In Egypt:
The overseas portion of Prophecy Tour 2001 will begin by walking in the footsteps of Moses and
the children of Israel in the land of Egypt. We will visit Goshen where they lived while in Egypt and
see the brickyards where they toiled. Believe it or not, bricks are still being made there till this day!
While in Egypt, we will also see the Great Pyramid, the Great Sphinx, the Cairo Museum and
visit Old Cairo. We will then travel north through the Sinai desert, across the Suez Canal, finally
arriving in the land of Israel.
In Israel:
Stand on the Mount of Olives where Jesus will stand when He returns—Visit the Temple Mount
itself where the Third Temple will soon be built—See the cornerstone intended for the rebuilding
of the Third Temple—At the Temple Institute we will see the vessels and the garments already pre-
pared for resumption of temple worship—Visit the Garden Tomb and the Garden of
Gethsemane—See the site of the coming Battle of Armageddon—We will visit Judean settlements
where Jesus prophesied great tribulation will come in the near future (Matthew 24:15-16)—Boat
across the Sea of Galilee where Jesus walked on the water. And much, much more!
At the United Nations:
Prophecy Tour 2001 will begin in New York City at the United Nations—the seat of world gov-
ernment. A guided tour will take us through the chambers of the UN where decisions are made that
change the course of the world. A one-hour briefing by a UN official has been arranged especially
for the members of our Endtime Prophecy Tour.
We have just scratched the surface concerning the things you will experience in the land of the
Bible. There is no doubt that Prophecy Tour 2001 will be the trip of a lifetime! I hope that you can
join my wife, Judy, and me as we experience the UN, Egypt, and the Holy Land together. Eddie Sax,
co-host for “Politics & Religion,” and his wife Charlotte will be with us on the tour. It will be a great
time. Don’t miss it!
The cost for the entire 12-day United Nations, Egypt, and Israel tour will be $2195 plus tips and
taxes. You can insure your place on the tour by sending your deposit of $250 to Endtime, PO Box

The hope that had been nurtured for

Clinton’s Charlemagne prize
I admit being startled when I saw the
article, “Clinton Wins Charlemagne
Prize.” Why in the world would our U.S.
president be bestowed with the
“Charlemagne Prize?”
I immediately understood what it was
all about. Charlemagne was the first em-
peror of the Holy Roman Empire. It was
in 800 AD when Pope Leo III placed the
crown on Charlemagne’s head with the
declaration, “I hereby crown you em-

Barak struggled to forge a peace agree-

was revealed that the status of Jerusalem,

that are in the process of being fulfilled:
1. The confirmation of a covenant

3. Establishment of a cashless society,
4. Emergence of global religious unity,
5. Formation of a world government.

the head of the Earth Council, Mr.

chairperson for the Earth Summit at Rio

During the interview, Mr. Strong hap-

Gorbachev had authored a new docu-
ment called the Earth Charter. The
Earth Charter was designed to be a state-

provide an ethical foundation for the
emerging World Community. It was to
