Was “911” An Omen Indicating The C oming Day <strong>Of</strong> The Lord?<br />

<strong>And</strong> I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. The<br />

sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of<br />

the LORD come. <strong>And</strong> it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall<br />

the Lord shall be saved. (Acts 2:19-21)

Introduction<br />

Important considerations in interpreting biblical prophecy<br />

One of the first reactions I heard on 911 to the attacks was from a coworker who said, “I sure hope<br />

that the government wasn’t behind this. You know that what Hitler did when he started the fire…”<br />

I returned home from work on 9-11-2001 emotionally stressed over the attacks. I visited the track<br />

for a run and then spent some time alone in prayer. I came away from that time with my God that<br />

the 911 attack was a call to national repentance warning us of greater judgment to come upon this<br />

land of false gods. I also thought that it was possibly a sign of the coming day of the Lord as I noted<br />

“Joel 2:30?” in my prayer journal. It wasn’t until about 5 years after 911 that I began studying the<br />

events of that day. In fact, I refused to watch any film coverage of 911 at first because I sensed<br />

within that the coverage might be designed to deceive.<br />

This study concerned with the signs of the inevitable 70 th week of Daniel or the final seven years of<br />

this world as it will be known is a challenging and humbling one as I seek to understand the destiny<br />

of the nations under the sovereign plan of prince of the kings of the earth, the Lord Jesus Christ.<br />

(Revelation 1:5)<br />

In studying biblical prophecy, it’s important to realize that international relations are dynamic in<br />

nature while events predicted by biblical prophecy will occur at a fixed time in the future.<br />

Correctly interpreting prophecy involves matching God’s fixed truth with the moving target of<br />

world events. The difficulty of this task is compounded because false news, media bias, propaganda<br />

and spin all exist today. The real truth behind the headlines based upon an accurate and biblical view<br />

of the world system must be used or the interpreter risks being deceived by false views of the world<br />

system. Human ability and its accompanying logic are insufficient for the complex task of correctly<br />

interpreting current events in light of biblical prophecy.<br />

Why we know and prophecy in part<br />

Every student of biblical prophecy operates within a limited range of vision. Although gifted by the<br />

Holy Spirit to understand biblical truth, human ability under the control of the Holy Spirit to<br />

accurately interpret prophetic scripture is limited by factors such as personal experiences, hidden<br />

prejudices and bias, and prior programming responsible for any existing social, economic and<br />

political paradigms. Until the Lord Jesus returns for his church, our knowledge of the deep mysteries<br />

of biblical prophecy will be incomplete to varying degrees.<br />

" For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part<br />

shall be done away. When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I


ecame a man, I put away childish things. For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know<br />

in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known." (1 Corinthians 13:9-12) "Beloved, now are we the sons of<br />

God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for<br />

we shall see him as he is." (1 John 3:2)<br />

Programmed to be deceived and certified to sleep<br />

As Americans, however, many of us, especially the more formally educated among us, have been<br />

trained to accept the mainstream and reject the unconventional in socio-political matters. Those<br />

involved in business and the sciences have been encouraged to think outside the box when it comes<br />

to technical matters because technical progress is essential to building the electronic tools that will<br />

be used by the elite to control the global order. When it comes to the socio-political thought,<br />

however, the elite programmers discourage freedom of ideas because moral progress and truth in<br />

the socio-political realm war against their socio-political plans. They have even convinced the<br />

majority that the intricate, interrelated web of programming enveloping the earth has simply<br />

happened and isn’t part of a coordinated plan or conspiracy.<br />

The truth, however, is that conspiracy exists in opposition to God, his people and his truth. (Psalm<br />

2:1-6, Psalm 21:8-13, Psalm 83:3-5, Psalm 89, Psalm 94:20-21, Ezekiel 22:25, Ezekiel 11:2, Jeremiah<br />

11:6, Acts 4:25)<br />

The informed know that elite financier David Rockefeller admits that he is a proud internationalist<br />

conspiring with others around the globe to build one world. 1 Yet world programmers have<br />

convinced the blind majority that it’s more intelligent and sane to believe that world order and<br />

God’s creation have simply evolved out of random chaos. <strong>And</strong> those that they can’t convince that<br />

the conspiracy doesn’t exist they then try to deceive into believing that the conspiracy is good for<br />

them as David Rockefeller attempts to do in his Memoirs. Who knows; maybe the childhood training<br />

we received in believing the Santa Claus myth, and the many hours of televised mainstream fantasy<br />

that entertained us, have psychologically conditioned us to believe these and other outrageous lies<br />

such as the official establishment myth about what really happened on 911. The truth is that Satan is<br />

the father of lies and America, Babylon the Great, has become a fallen habitation of foul, lying<br />

demons deceiving the world. (Revelation 18:2-3)<br />

Why are Americans increasingly discarding logical truth for myth? Both inside and outside the<br />

church, mainstream establishment certification has usurped authority over the truth, principles and<br />

promises of God’s Word. Mainstream certification has even taken authority over logical scientific<br />

and physical truth as the success of the 911 myth proves. Even when some Christians see hard truth<br />

today, many prefer to choose the temporary comfort that results from ignoring hard truth over the<br />

potential pain that might result from allegiance to truth.<br />

Our educational system requires its students to accept certified dogma if they’re to become<br />

responsible and accepted Americans. Not only does this appeal to our natural desire for acceptance,<br />

1 David Rockefeller, Memoirs, NY, 2002, pg. 405


a certified viewpoint is attractive to us, even if it’s false, because it provides a fixed screen that we<br />

can hide behind in order to avoid the conflict and hard work involved in resolving conflicts,<br />

answering difficult questions, and making costly life changing decisions. In avoiding the<br />

consequences of accepting hard truth, we help preserve the temporal comfort and ease we’ve been<br />

led to expect from the deceitful postmodern American Dream.<br />

Certification also provides that stamp of approval believed to be essential to career success. Flowing<br />

with mainstream thought minimizes the chance for interpersonal conflict and the associated risk of<br />

rejection. The world system worships at the altar of the personal career. The primary allegiance of<br />

the rational, mainstream American is expected to be the career idol. The mainstream laughs at an old<br />

fashioned independent thinker like 2008 Republican Presidential candidate Dr. Ron Paul who will<br />

take hard, unpopular stances because of personal integrity and character compelling him to be true<br />

to his oath to uphold the U.S. Constitution and its principles.<br />

This “cookie cutter”/“thou shalt not think outside the mainstream box” mentality is especially<br />

common within the postmodern church. This is in spite of the fact that we profess to follow a Jesus<br />

who clearly thought outside the mainstream box of his time and promised us that our devotion to<br />

him could cause conflict and division, not only between us and those that love the world system, but<br />

even between us and those closest to us. (Luke 12:51-53; John 15:18-16:4; I John 3:13)<br />

How does this all relate to this end times study? Because of our allegiance to the certified, the<br />

American church has become particularly prone to an unwise, unbiblical narrowness in interpreting<br />

biblical prophecy. Trained to submit unquestionably to the views of certified religious authorities in<br />

order to receive the protective blessings of God, the average American believer receives only views<br />

that their pastoral authority figure has certified. This narrowness in interpreting biblical prophecy is<br />

affected by the following list of factors caused by the authoritative trust we have been trained to put<br />

in the certified mainstream establishment. These factors include, but certainly aren’t limited to:<br />

lack of knowledge of current U.S. domestic and foreign policy<br />

ignorance concerning U.S. Constitutional law and its application today<br />

lack of knowledge of the new international order and the U.S. role in it<br />

corporate and government propaganda<br />

educational & media programming<br />

peer pressure; fear of man/conflict/rejection<br />

family tradition; fear of man/conflict/rejection<br />

biblical ignorance of God's mind on socio-political issues<br />

Because avoiding conflict and division have become more important to most American believers<br />

than truth, and we actually believe that elite world programmers don’t exist or if they do they have<br />

the best interest of people at heart, we are a nation programmed for a great deception and fall. As<br />

blind sheep being led unknowingly to their slaughter, we ignorantly cling to outdated prophetic<br />

interpretation sometimes based upon the news of yesteryear and unknowingly skewed by our false<br />

views of reality. When will the eyes of our heart be enlightened?


Correct interpretation of prophecy is possible only through the supernatural teaching of the Holy<br />

Spirit.<br />

Would you accelerate the enlightening of our understanding, Holy Spirit, in these last days?


Chapter 1<br />

Prophetic Events Since 911 ?<br />

Is 911 possibly a sign to us that the day of the Lord at hand?<br />

The pages to follow will analyze the shocking destruction of the World Trade Center Twin<br />

Towers and Building 7 in New York, NY on 9/11/2001 (911) in the light of the words of<br />

the prophet Joel recorded in Joel 2:30 and echoed by the apostle Peter as it is written in Acts<br />

2:19. It will consider whether or not it’s biblically reasonable to consider the possibility of 911<br />

being an omen indicating that we have entered or are near entering the period of history<br />

culminating in the day of the Lord.<br />

This study is written from the prophetic perspective of someone who has converted from<br />

belief in a pre-tribulation rapture. I now believe in a pre-millennial rapture in which the<br />

church is present on earth during the final seven years before the Lord Jesus Christ returns<br />

to earth to destroy the beast kingdom. Before you prematurely dismiss this study based upon<br />

your current belief in a pre-tribulation rapture, I encourage you to examine the biblical study<br />

entitled Will Th e Ch urc h Exp e rie nc e Gre at Trib ulatio n supporting this belief at the<br />

following link on the 666 page of this website:<br />

http://www.escapebabylonsdemons.com/uploads/CHURCHINTRIBULATION.PDF)<br />

In the September 2002 National Security Strategy of the United States, President George W. Bush<br />

spoke of the new world we have entered after the events of 911. He described this new<br />

world as a fearful one in which the world’s great powers are united by common dangers of<br />

terrorist violence and chaos providing the U.S. an historic opportunity to lead the nations<br />

into a global community competing in peace, trading in freedom and growing in prosperity<br />

because of America’s global military presence and power.<br />

The National Strategy For Combating Terrorism released in February 2003 states that the terrorists<br />

attacks of 9/11/2001 were acts of war against the U.S., it’s allies and the very idea of<br />

civilized society. This document teaches that based upon 911, the United States must<br />

relentlessly use every form of national power in a prolonged global war on terror for the<br />

broader purpose of building an international order of integrated countries sharing<br />

standardized U.S. values in order to “…promote a freer, more prosperous, and more secure<br />

world“…. (The National Strategy For Combating Terrorism, February 2003, pp. 1-3, 29-30)<br />

Those grateful for America’s unique Constitutional system establishing the United States<br />

government as a government of the people, by the people and for the people should be<br />

alarmed that an American President under legal oath to uphold the U.S. Constitution has<br />

declared global war with the broader purpose of building an international order which<br />

promises security, peace and prosperity. This international order is often referred to as a<br />

new world order; a global government or a one world government. One day soon an<br />

international order, or beast, will mandate that the global populace take it’s mark so that it’s<br />

citizens may enjoy the security, peace and prosperity a deceitful global dictator promises


them. (Daniel 8:23-25; 1 Thessalonians 5:1-3; Revelation 13:11-18)<br />

If 911 is shown to be a lying wonder, we should be doubly alarmed over the broader<br />

purpose of the global war on terror. This is because the United States would be engaged in a<br />

deceitful global war based upon a false pretext promising increased security, peace and<br />

prosperity as the beast kingdom of antichrist will promise. (Daniel 8:23-25; Daniel 11:21-24;<br />

2 Thessalonians 2:9-12)<br />

A synthesis of prophetic scriptures such as Revelation 6:1-4, Matthew 24:3-8, 1<br />

Thessalonians 5:3 and 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12 teach that the global beast kingdom of<br />

antichrist preceding the day of the Lord will be the result of a painful birth process involving<br />

deception in the name of Jesus Christ and global wars and rumors of war led and deceitfully<br />

justified by a military conqueror promising global security, peace and prosperity.<br />

Since 911, a number of events have occurred that may align with biblical prophecy<br />

concerning the final global kingdom and it’s enigmatic leader antichrist the beast. Future<br />

global affairs may reveal that the alignment of these events with biblical prophecy occurred<br />

only on these few select points. On the other hand, the possibility exists that these events<br />

involving the United States have actually fulfilled biblical prophecy leading towards the<br />

establishment of the final global kingdom of antichrist.<br />

Prophetic Events?<br />

What events involving the United States since 911 may possibly fulfill biblical prophecy<br />

regarding the establishment of the final global kingdom of antichrist?<br />

The President of the United States has become the King of Babylon.<br />

The prophet Daniel foretold that antichrist, also referred to by the prophet Isaiah as the<br />

King of Babylon and the King of Assyria (Isaiah 10:12-27; 14:1-8), will kill miraculously and<br />

craftily use deceitful promises of security, peace and prosperity to conquer the richest<br />

regions in expanding his kingdom toward the south, toward the east and toward Israel.<br />

(Daniel 8:9; Daniel 8:23-25; Daniel 11:21-24)<br />

The overwhelming power of the United States military in combination with strategic<br />

planning to remove Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq, has enabled the United States to<br />

use 911 as a pretext to seize the most strategic region in the Middle East, the coveted Tigris-<br />

Euphrates River basin.<br />

President Bush connected Saddam Hussein/Iraq to 911. Mr. Bush later admitted in<br />

September 2003 that there was no evidence for this connection after the Congressional 911<br />

investigation released in July 2003 denied the alleged connection. (Eric Alterman and Mark Green,<br />

The Book on Bush, Penguin Group, New York, N.Y., 2004, 276-277, 337.) His connection, however, had<br />

given the United States her pretext to embark on pre-emptive war allowing the United States<br />

to assume control over the region referred to in scripture as Babylon and Assyria.<br />

Control over the region possessing possibly the least expensive to produce oil on the earth<br />

gives the U.S. new leverage against the Saudis and increased influence to help remake the


Middle East in it’s image. For more information regarding the imperialistic goals of the U.S.<br />

in the Middle East please see the following links.<br />

The President is waging global war in the name of God.<br />

Daniel 7:23-25 warns that the leader of an international order of nations shall speak or<br />

command great words against meaning concerning, at or upon the side of the most High<br />

God.<br />

On 6/27/2003 President Bush was reported in the Israel newspaper Ha’aretz as telling<br />

Palestinian prime minister Mahmoud Abbas:<br />

“God told me to strike at al Qaeda and I struck them, and then he instructed me to strike at Saddam,<br />

which I did, and now I am determined to solve the problem in the Middle East.”<br />

(D.F. Florentino, Reign of Error (Burlington, Vermont: Toward Freedom, 2004), 39. Michael Parenti, Super-<br />

Patriotism, San Francisco, California, City Lights, 2004, 58. Eric Alterman and Mark Green, The Book on<br />

Bush, Penguin Group, New York, N.Y., 2004, 301.)<br />

The President is promising peace, prosperity & security to be achieved through a<br />

global war justified by an outrageous 911 government conspiracy theory.<br />

Jesus warns that we should beware of deception that will come in his name in the context of<br />

global wars and rumors of war. (Matthew 24:3-6; Mark 13:4-8; Luke 21:7-9).<br />

Revelation 6:1-4 tells us that antichrist, described in Revelation 13:4 as the world’s<br />

preeminent military conqueror, will conquer the globe militarily as Daniel 7:23 foretells.<br />

Paradoxically, Daniel 8:25 prophecies that antichrist will destroy many by peace. Peace<br />

literally means security, peace and prosperity. Daniel 11:23 says antichrist works deceitfully.<br />

1 Thessalonians 5:1-3 tells us that the day of the Lord comes in a time in which the world’s<br />

political theme is peace and safety. 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12 teaches that antichrist is given great<br />

authority to use startling events outside the ordinary course of nature in order to deceive the<br />

world into following his unjust, evil course of action.<br />

911 made the most dominating global military power in world history to appear ridiculously<br />

vulnerable to foreign invasion. The outrageous official government conspiracy theory we’re<br />

commanded to believe is that relatively poor and inexperienced pilots armed with box<br />

cutters, under orders from people living in caves, hijacked commercial planes to accomplish<br />

two historic tasks:<br />

for the first time in history steel framed high rise buildings completely collapsed due to jet<br />

fuel fire heating to a maximum temperature (~825ºC/1517ºF) hundreds of degrees below<br />

the melting point of typical structural steel. (~1510ºC/2750ºF)


for the first time in history steel framed high rise buildings completely collapsed from the<br />

top down resembling a demolition style implosion.<br />

In addition, these buildings collapsed at near free fall rates as if their was no resistance from<br />

tons of building materials.<br />

http://911review.com/articles/jm/mslp_1.html<br />

Building 7, which wasn’t hit by a plane, collapsed the same way as the other two buildings<br />

which were hit by jets.<br />

http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/wtc7.html<br />

The leaseholder of Building 7 is recorded as stating that they decided to “pull” or demolish<br />

Building 7.<br />

http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/cutter.html<br />

In a November 10, 2001 address to the United Nations, President Bush commanded the<br />

nations to believe the official conspiracy theory or risk being considered as aiding the<br />

terrorists.<br />

“let us never tolerate outrageous conspiracy theories concerning the attacks of 911...malicious lies that<br />

attempt to shift the blame away from the terrorists themselves, away from the guilty…” (President Bush<br />

Speaks to United Nations, WhiteHouse.gov, )<br />

Mainstream media mouthpieces begun unfair categorizing those who don’t believe the<br />

official conspiracy theory of the Bush Administration concerning 911. Along with nonviolent<br />

protestors against the Iraq War and 2008 Republican Presidential candidate Dr. Ron<br />

Paul supporters, “911 Truthers” have been called insane, dangerous anarchists, terrorists and<br />

Islamo-fascists. There has even been calls for violent terror against these advocates of<br />

personal liberty, free speech and U.S. Constitutional government.<br />

911 has provided the pretext for the U.S. government with a professing Christian President<br />

as her Commander In Chief to justify pre-emptive global war for the broader purpose of<br />

building an international order of integrated countries sharing standardized U.S. values in<br />

order to promote a freer, more prosperous, and more secure world.<br />

The President has essentially been positioned as a global dictator.<br />

911 has served as a pretext to enact legislation essentially positioning the President of the<br />

United States as a global dictator.

Scripture teaches that the global empire of antichrist the beast will be characterized by the<br />

following traits:<br />

Dictatorial power like Nebuchadnezzar’s Babylonian Empire (Revelation 13:2)<br />

Greedy, devouring, bureaucratic government like the Medo-Persian Empire (Revelation<br />

13:2; Daniel 7:5)<br />

Aggressive, authoritative, military government like the Grecian Empire (Revelation 13:2;<br />

Daniel 7:6; Daniel 8:5-9; Daniel 8:19-25)<br />

Daniel 7:25 and Daniel 11:38 teach that antichrist will honor the god of forces or the security<br />

provided by military strength. He will change laws and wear out or mentally afflict (torture)<br />

true Christians.<br />

The Military Commissions Act of 2006, identified as H.R. 6166, provides the President of the<br />

United States global authority to establish trial by military tribunals to determine who is an<br />

unlawful enemy combatant of the United States and for other purposes. This act eliminates<br />

from U.S. aliens prior right to invoke trial rights established under the Geneva Convention.<br />

The NATIONAL SECURITY PRESIDENTIAL DIRECTIVE/NSPD 51/HOMELAND<br />

SECURITY PRESIDENTIAL DIRECTIVE/HSPD-20 issued May 9, 2007 establishes the<br />

President as dictatorial head of the Federal government in the event of a catastrophic<br />

emergency or national disaster defined as any incident, regardless of location, that results in<br />

extraordinary levels of mass casualties, damage, or disruption severely affecting the U.S.<br />

population, infrastructure, environment, economy, or government functions.<br />

(http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2007/05/20070509-12.html)<br />

HR 1585, the 2008 Defense Authorization Bill, authorizes the U.S. military to plan the<br />

integration of the military with civil authorities so they have a full fledged martial law<br />

apparatus to use in the event of any sort of catastrophic national emergency under<br />

Presidential control in line with NSPD-51/HSPD-20 which gives the President dictatorial<br />

powers.<br />

The aforementioned events should be considered in light of the warnings of the Lord Jesus<br />

Christ for us to beware of men and deception as we watch and pray anticipating his return.


Commissioned To Watch<br />

Throughout it’s relatively short national history, the U.S. has been perceived by much of the<br />

world as a model of liberty and justice. Since the scripture says that Satan disguises himself<br />

as an angel of light or a messenger of truth; isn’t it logical to consider that a deceitful<br />

antichrist is most likely to disguise himself as the leader of a nation like the U.S. which has<br />

been called a shining city of light to the world.<br />

This analysis is led by the teaching of the Word of God. God’s Word advises us that in order<br />

to be ready for the return of Christ Jesus and overcome the strong delusion that will be<br />

present in society prior to his return, we must vigilantly watch for his return by prayerfully<br />

correlating the study of biblical prophecy with current events. (Mark 13:32-37; Matthew 25:<br />

1-13; 2 Peter 3:10-13)<br />

Protecting the church through warning her about those that would deceive her is Christcentered<br />

activity that belongs in the body of Christ. Failure to fully analyze a cultural big<br />

bang event such as 911 against the big picture of biblical prophecy potentially leaves the<br />

church open to the deception the Lord Jesus Christ told us would precede his second<br />

coming. Yes, it’s comforting to know that a sovereign, loving God is ultimately in control of<br />

world events. It‘s with that knowledge, however, that we should courageously exercise our<br />

responsibility to watch and warn of the deceitful strategies of the god of this world, Satan,<br />

the father of lies. Even if the U.S. was revealed in the end to be simply another fallen rogue<br />

power, this warning can help the church to pray intelligently and avoid being unequally<br />

yoked with the world system in support of deceitful public policy bringing chaos and<br />

destruction to many.<br />

Context of Christ’s return<br />

The scripture teaches that the context out of which of Christ’s glorious return will occur is a<br />

stressful time in which the deluded global populace is being promised security, peace and<br />

prosperity by their mind control handlers. (Luke 21:34-36; 1 Thessalonians 5:1-3, 2<br />

Thessalonians 2:1-12; 2 Peter 3:1-10; Revelation 3:3,16:15)<br />

Biblical prophecy teaches that many professing Christians and others will deceive many<br />

regarding the nature and timing of the second coming of Christ and the end of this global<br />

age. (Matthew 24:4-5, 23-25; Mark 13:21-23; Luke 21:7-8, 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12)The signs<br />

preceding Christ’s return are provided for us in scripture. (Matthew 24:3-35; Mark 13:4-31;<br />

Luke 21:7-33; 1 Thessalonians 5:1-3; 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12; 2 Peter 3:1-10; Revelation 6-19)<br />

The Lord taught that his return to earth will come at a time when the general population,<br />

including many professing Christians, don’t expect their sudden destruction because a strong<br />

delusion or mass psychosis is controlling their minds. (1 Thessalonians 5:1-3; 2<br />

Thessalonians 2:1-1) This deceiving mind control will be so strong that it nearly<br />

accomplishes the impossible task of deceiving the true believer. (Matthew 24:24; Mark 13:22)<br />

This strong delusion, a mass psychosis causing the masses to believe deceit and falsehood<br />

rather than truth, causes deceived people to approve of and pursue an unjust course of<br />

fraudulent evil in the name of justice and good. ( 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12) This moral error


comes as a result of ly ing w o nd e rs . (2 Thessalonians 2:9) These amazingly shocking events<br />

out of the ordinary course of nature serve as omens indicating the presence of Antichrist in<br />

world affairs and the future coming of the day of the Lord. (2 Thessalonians 21-9; Joel 2:30-<br />

31) One of these conspicuous omens is a murderous event or series of events involving<br />

both the land and the sky in which fire and pillars or columns of dust and smoke are<br />

conspicuously displayed. (Joel 2:30-31; Matthew 24:32-44; Mark 13:32-37; Luke 12:35-40;<br />

Luke17:20-37)<br />

Is it possible that “911” is a murderous event prophesied by the prophet Joel over 2500<br />

years ago?<br />

To answer this question, the pages to follow will analyze the biblical prophecy of Joel 2:30<br />

against the history leading up to, including, and following “911”.<br />

Would you, Holy Spirit, lead in this pursuit of truth?


Chapter 2<br />

Plan n in g & Sp in n in g th e De lu sio n<br />

Antichrist disguises his deceitfulness ascending to global dictatorship<br />

God the Father heralded the earthly arrival of God the Son, Jesus the Messiah, by signs and<br />

wonders consistent with the perfect holiness and truth of God’s holiness. (John 20:30-31;<br />

Acts 2:22-36) The salvation promised by Jesus Christ would bring inward spiritual security,<br />

peace and prosperity to his future followers who trust in him. (John 14:27, John 16:33) The<br />

spiritual power of Christ’s holy character overcame evil by love, not force. (John 18:36)<br />

The great counterfeiter Satan, on the other hand, will herald the coming of his empowered<br />

servant antichrist the beast through miraculous signs and wonders consistent with the<br />

deceitfulness of his murderous, lying nature. (John 8:44) Antichrist will overcome by evil and<br />

force while spinning his murderous wars and destructive public policies as necessary for the<br />

physical security, peace and prosperity of the world. (Daniel 8:23-25; Revelation 13:3-4;<br />

Isaiah 14:1-23; 1 Thessalonians 5:1-3; 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12)<br />

How can Antichrist hide his intent in the information age?<br />

How will antichrist manage to deceive a world entrenched in the matrix of the information<br />

age in which so much of what we say or do is potentially recorded?<br />

First, ignoring the primary, yet invisible role that the demonic power of occult magical ritual<br />

plays within the world system (Ephesians 2:2; Ephesians 6:12; 1 Peter 5:8; Revelation 16:13;<br />

Revelation 18:23), the more visible means of elite control seen at this point in history is<br />

through the secret work of real elite groups like Bilderberg, Council on Foreign Relations<br />

NATO, Club of Rome, the Trilateral Commission and Yale’s Brotherhood of Death Order<br />

322 Skull & Bones. These groups, some of whose work isn’t entirely secret, are intertwined<br />

with powerful mainstream global establishment mass media corporations such as<br />

Bertelsmann, GE, Disney, Viacom and News Corporation and financial institutions<br />

controlled by Rockefeller-Rothschild-J.P. Morgan.<br />

Antony Sutton was a research Fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University, from<br />

1968 to 1973. He was a former economics professor at California State University, Los<br />

Angeles. He was born in London and educated at the universities of London, Gottingen and<br />

California with a D.Sc. degree from University of Southampton, England. Sutton writes<br />

concerning the operation of the CFR and Skull & Bones, the Order he calls “America’s<br />

Secret Establishment, as follows:<br />

“For example, the Council on Foreign Relations cannot be claimed as a conspiracy even<br />

for the period since its founding in 1921. Membership in the CFR is not a secret. Membership lists are freely<br />

available for the cost of a postage stamp. There is no proof that the entire membership conspires to commit<br />

illegal acts. What has to be proven in any conspiracy explanation of history is that the participants have secret


groupings, and meet to plan illegal actions. Members of the CFR, when accused of being involved in a<br />

conspiracy, have protested to the contrary. <strong>And</strong> by and large they are right. Most CFR members are not<br />

involved in a conspiracy and have no knowledge of any conspiracy. <strong>And</strong> some personally known to the author<br />

are about the last people on earth to get involved in an illegal conspiracy. HOWEVER, there is a group<br />

WITHIN the Council of Foreign Relations which belongs to a secret society, sworn to secrecy, and which<br />

more or less controls the CFR. CFR meetings are used for their own purposes, i.e., to push out ideas, to<br />

weigh up people who might be useful, to use meetings as a forum for discussion. These members are in The<br />

Order. Their membership in The Order can be proven. Their meetings can be proven. Their objectives are<br />

plainly unconstitutional. <strong>And</strong> this ORDER has existed for 150 years in the United States. (America’s<br />

Secret Establishment, Antony Sutton, pg. 19)<br />

The Order that author Antony Sutton is speaking of is Yale’s Order of Skull & Bones, the<br />

secret society to which George W. Bush, his father and grandfather have all pledged<br />

allegiance to.<br />

Sutton provides this piece of history on pages 24-25 of America’s Secret Establishment from the<br />

original Yale Iconoclast paper. Back in October 1873 an enterprising Yale student, stung to<br />

action because The Order had taken over Yale finances and left the University near poverty,<br />

took it upon himself to publish an expose.

The following statistics regarding media consolidation reflect the effectiveness of the dark<br />

powers in consolidating the mind programming tools of the world system for future use by<br />

antichrist to cast strong delusion upon the world in crafting the global dictatorship.<br />

In 1983, 50 corporations interlocked with corporate financial interests controlled most major<br />

American media. (The Media Monopoly, Ben H. Bagdikian, Beacon Press, Boston, 1983, pg. 4)<br />

By 1992, Bagdikian wrote in the 4 th edition of The Media Monopoly that fewer than 24<br />

corporations owned and operated 90% of American mass media controlling almost all of<br />

America's newspapers, magazines, TV and radio stations, books, records, movies, videos,<br />

wire services and photo agencies.<br />

In 2004, Bagdikian's latest release, The New Media Monopoly, shows that only 6<br />

corporations -- AOL/Time Warner, The Walt Disney Company, News Corporation,<br />

Bertelsmann AG, Viacom and General Electric controlled most of the mass media industry<br />

in the United States.

Bilderberg global policy meetings<br />

It’s at the annual Bilderberg meeting that public policy in support of establishing one world<br />

government is agreed upon. From there, the consolidated enslaved press disseminates<br />

globalist propaganda to the mostly unsuspecting world while apparently harmless elite think<br />

tank covering fronts like www.cfr.org employ the Hegelian Dialectic Process to lead the<br />

people to a predetermined synthesis of contrasting views.<br />

Antony Sutton describes how a the Hegelian Dialectic Process is used to achieve a desired<br />

outcome through conflict of ideas:<br />

“Probably the most difficult task in this work will be to get across to the reader what is really an elementary<br />

observation: that the objective of The Order is ne ith e r "left" no r "right." "Left" and "right" are artificial<br />

devices to bring about change, and the extremes of political left and political right are vital elements in a<br />

process of controlled change.


The answer to this seeming political puzzle lies in Hegelian logic. Remember that both Marx and Hitler, the<br />

extremes of "left" and "right" presented as textbook enemies, evolved out of the same philosophical system:<br />

Hegelianism. That brings screams of intellectual anguish from Marxists and Nazis, but is well known to<br />

any<br />

student of political systems.<br />

The dialectical process did not originate with Marx as Marxists claim, but with Fichte and Hegel in late<br />

18th and early 19th century Germany. In the dialectical process a clash of opposites brings about a synthesis.<br />

For example, a clash of political left and political right brings about another political system, a synthesis of<br />

the two, neither left nor right. Th is c o nflic t o f o p p o s ite s is e s s e ntial to b ring ab o ut c h ang e .<br />

Today this process can be identified in the literature of the Trilateral Commission where "change" is promoted<br />

and "conflict management" is termed the means to bring about this change.<br />

In the Hegelian system conflict is essential. Furthermore, for Hegel and systems based on Hegel, the State is<br />

absolute. The State requires complete obedience from the individual citizen. An individual does not exist for<br />

himself in these so-called organic systems but only to perform a role in the operation of the State. He finds<br />

freedom only in obedience to the State. There was no freedom in Hitler's Germany, there is no freedom<br />

for the individual under Marxism, neither will there be in the New World Order. <strong>And</strong> if it sounds like<br />

George Orwell's 1984 - it is. In brief, the State is supreme and conflict is used to bring about the ideal<br />

society.” (America’s Secret Establishment, Antony Sutton, pg. 38-39)<br />

Should the church be surprised that the programming of the minds of this age would be<br />

intelligently crafted and deftly managed under the superhuman demonic leadership of “the<br />

prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience”?<br />

for sober proof of the reality of Bilderberg.<br />

Second, and less importantly, however, the ruling elite of these groups feel the power of<br />

restraint that informed and courageous individuals and groups hold over their secret plans.<br />

(Psalm 2:3) In order to fully accomplish their vain plots, we know from scripture that these<br />

kings are driven to silence dissent from non-integrating groups and individuals.<br />

A voice in the wilderness of false reality<br />

In God’s mind, the most important and powerful voices of peaceful dissent should be the<br />

true church of the Lord Jesus Christ. His church is intended to be a bold voice in the<br />

wilderness crying out courageously by faith and standing in obedience to Psalm 94:16 and


Ephesians 5:11 in the gap between the light of God and the dark demonic delusion.<br />

His body is to be a united people with a prophetic voice of biblical vision calling corrupt<br />

leadership at all levels and all people globally to turn away from evil and receive forgiveness<br />

and salvation through active trust in the truth of the Lord Jesus Christ.<br />

Those faithful to God’s vision during the final seven years will be fruitful in their labor as<br />

they courageously suffer for exposing evil and preaching the everlasting gospel that is able to<br />

save even the evilest of men. (Revelation 14:6-7; Daniel 11:32-35; Matthew 9:13; Hebrews<br />

7:25) They’ll suffer in spite of their faithfulness to the word of God. They’ll be victorious<br />

over the beast in resisting his will for them because they have prior biblical knowledge of<br />

their coming war with antichrist. Though unjustly labeled non-integrating terrorists, unlawful<br />

enemy combatants, traitors, mentally insane, hate criminals, etc.; these true believers won’t<br />

apostate because they’ve already counted the cost of obedience and chosen beforehand to<br />

suffer even death in antichrist’s war with the saints for the glory of their King Jesus. (Daniel<br />

11:32-35)<br />

Psalm 2 actively speaks in the context of the return of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords,<br />

Jesus Christ. This truth tells us that Christ will suddenly return as a thief in the night in order<br />

to smash the vain plans of the global elite to establish a permanent one world government.<br />

This timeless prophetic truth commands ruling elite to abandon selfish plans of world<br />

domination in order to joyfully serve the Lord Jesus Christ in reverent fear of his majestic<br />

power. Should they refuse God’s conditions for salvation, they’re warned that they’ll<br />

experience his eternal wrath in the burning lake of fire and brimstone in exchange for their<br />

prideful rebellion. Psalm 2 verse 3 exposes the conspiratorial plans of the ruling elite to root<br />

out and remove the restraint they perceive the voice of the true church has upon their plans<br />

for world domination.<br />

Prudent church?<br />

Being the image of the invisible God, Jesus has always been aware of the future plans of<br />

global elite. In order to counter the destructive influence of evil motivated by the love of<br />

money, Jesus taught his followers that they are the salt of the earth. To underscore how<br />

important he considers the voice of the church in preserving truth and justice, Jesus said that<br />

if the salt loses it‘s saltiness it becomes useless except as an object of destruction. (Matthew<br />

5:13; Mark 9:50; Luke 14:34) By using the word salt to describe his people, Jesus meant that<br />

they were created in him to exercise prudence in this evil world. Prudence is defined in<br />

Webster’s 1828 Dictionary as follows:<br />

c autio n in d e lib e rating and c o nsulting o n th e m o s t s uitab le m e ans to ac c o m p lis h<br />

valuab le p urp o s e s , and th e e xe rc is e o f s ag ac ity in d is c e rning and s e le c ting th e m .<br />

c irc um s p e c tio n.<br />

Instead of obeying their heavenly commander in chief and acting prudently in foreseeing and<br />

avoiding evil, the professing mainstream Christian church in the U.S. has chosen a


compromising 501-c3 lower level allegiance to the public policies of the global elite<br />

administered by their current earthly commander in chief in the White House. The lukewarm<br />

501-c3 church has chosen to be a friend of the world and enemy of God by supporting what<br />

they shortsightedly consider to be “the lesser of two evils“. This is evidenced by a<br />

12/18/2007 e-mail reply I received from a 501-c3 ministry leader and professing brother in<br />

Christ whose well meaning, yet confused, double minded “serpent speak” is typical of<br />

those leading 501-c3 mainstream bible based churches today:<br />

501-c3 churches = I find no Scriptural warrant for church bodies being granted a favored status by the state. I think<br />

they are more harmful than helpful. Churches are often challenged to obey the state because of their state favored tax<br />

exemption. However, if the state wants to do this then that is the state's privilege but the church's responsibility to obey<br />

them who have the rule over them. Bob Jones University removed their tax exempt status when the state began to<br />

impose restrictions upon political statements made by the University. The other problem I see with this is that I and all<br />

other members of the church receiving the tax exempt status do not receive a tax exempt status. The church would not<br />

exist were it not for its members.<br />

Psalm 2:3 shows that the elite believe they must silence the salt of the earth. This would<br />

explain why we currently see professing high profile global church leaders such as best<br />

selling mainstream author and mega church leader Rick Warren and Richard Land of the<br />

Southern Baptist Convention working with the Council of Foreign Relations where it<br />

appears the CFR accepts the mainstream bible based church and it’s most influential leaders<br />

are now positioned where they can be programmed to deceive.<br />

http://www.cfr.org/publication/9771/role_of_religion_in_us_foreign_policy_focus_of_ne<br />

w_council_initiative.html<br />

Jesus grieves over false prophets such as Warren and Land who are well spoken of by the<br />

enemies of true individual liberty in Christ because they have selfishly chosen to compromise<br />

his holy word. (Luke 6:26; Jude 1:1)<br />

Psalm 94:16 calls out to the people of God to stand up for God against the plans of wicked<br />

men. Without prudent pastors exposing the corruption, falsehood and deceit of local,<br />

national and global leadership through careful exposition and practical application of biblical<br />

truth; a lukewarm professing church becomes a prime inroad for Satan to infiltrate and use<br />

in spreading his deceitful global philosophies and policies. (Ezekiel 22:23-31; Revelation<br />

2:18-27; Revelation 3:14-22; Revelation 17-19:4)<br />

In spite of the widespread whoredom of the local pastor, however, the faithful can praise<br />

God for professing Christians outside the pulpit in the world of American politics such as<br />

Texan Congressman Dr. Ron Paul and Missouri state legislator Jim Guest. These humble,<br />

imperfect men are willing to risk their lives restraining evil for the sake of truth today. Their<br />

message can be found at the links below as they apply biblical truth to issues of state in<br />

public service.<br />

Lie to me because I can’t take bad news<br />

Like a lover who can’t face the truth about a cheating spouse, do you shy away from the<br />

truth that a criminal elite conspires to establish an antichristian new world order led by<br />

antichrist because you love this country and can‘t face the truth that her leadership would<br />

intentionally deceive you? Do you prefer to believe a lie and hang on to a false image of<br />

today’s America because the truth is too painful and costly to believe? If this is the case, you<br />

may be in the process of being set up for the strong delusion of antichrist. Fearful or<br />

unsuspecting minds blind to the reality of the united conspiratorial plans of the ruling global<br />

elite to root out the divisive influence of the Lord Jesus Christ and his true church upon the<br />

earth become particularly vulnerable to a deception that Jesus warned would be so strong<br />

that it could even deceive his people if that were possible. (Psalm 2; Revelation 17:12-17;<br />

Matthew 24:24; Mark 13:22; 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12) Once the ruling elite of the earth<br />

remove the restraint of the righteous who stand in the way of their deceitful plans for one<br />

world government by destroying the United States of America, these kings will single<br />

mindedly give the power and authority to rule the new world order to antichrist the beast<br />

who will then reveal himself as their King. (Psalm 2; 2 Thessalonians 2:3-8; Revelation 17:12-<br />

18) Accepting this truth, we shouldn’t be surprised that the prophecy of the apostle Paul as<br />

recorded in 2 Thessalonians 2:8-9 teaches that lying wonders will accompany the entrance<br />

of Antichrist into global affairs.<br />

The chapter to follow will examine whether or not 911 is a lying wonder according to the<br />

prophecy of 2 Thessalonians and Joel 2:30.


Lying wonders<br />

Chapter 3<br />

Bib lic al p ro p h e c y an d 911<br />

Antichrist makes his appearance in stealth while disguising his true intentions. Regarding the<br />

coming of antichrist, 2 Thessalonians 2:9 states:<br />

Even him, whose coming (Strongs #3952: arrival, advent, presence) is after (Strongs #2596: according to) the<br />

working of Satan with all power (Strongs #1411: great ability, dominion, and authority) and signs (Strongs<br />

#4592: signs signifying ties to a spiritual power; a prodigy, portent, i.e. an unusual occurrence transcending the common course of<br />

nature portending remarkable events soon to happen) and lying (Strongs #5579: falsehood) wonders (Strongs #5059:<br />

portent, omen, prodigy. A portent is an omen of ill; a prodigy indicating the approach of evil or calamity. A prodigy is a strange<br />

thing out of the ordinary process of nature and so extraordinary that it excites wonder or astonishment. Omens or signs and<br />

indicators can be drawn from prodigious events which point to a future event.)<br />

The KJV translators used the word wonders in Joel 2:30 and wonders and signs in an<br />

expanded paraphrase of Joel’s prophecy recorded in Acts 2:19 to describe events preceding<br />

the day of the Lord. These prophecies describe three specific wonders and their place of<br />

occurrence as follows:<br />

Joel 2:30<br />

<strong>And</strong> I will shew w o nd e rs<br />

in the heavens<br />

and<br />

in the earth,<br />

blood,<br />

and fire,<br />

and pillars of smoke.<br />

Acts 2:19


<strong>And</strong> I will shew w o nd e rs in heaven above,<br />

and<br />

s ig ns in the earth beneath;<br />

blood,<br />

and fire,<br />

and vapour of smoke:<br />

Again, please note that both 2 Thessalonians 2:9 and Acts 2:19 use the words signs and<br />

wonders and 2 Thessalonians 2:9 teaches that startling, fraudulent, deceitful, unjust and<br />

immoral Satanic activities pave the way for Antichrist to deceive the world as he ascends to<br />

global dictatorship.<br />

The biblical text doesn’t predict how many of these wonders will occur in the coming of<br />

Antichrist. As a result, we can’t determine whether one specific event or multiple events are<br />

predicted. Because of this, we’ll never be able to identify the first wonder any more than<br />

we’re able to pinpoint the first raindrop in a thunderstorm.<br />

It’s feasible, if we are living in the time just prior to the day of the Lord, that these events<br />

could have begun with World War I or an earlier event foundational to the creation of global<br />

government which will one day soon be led by Antichrist. Likewise, it might be that 911 is<br />

that initial wonder signaling the advent of Antichrist.<br />

Signs & wonders: <strong>Blood</strong>, fire and pillars of smoke<br />

Like 911’s murderous destruction, the signs and wonders predicted by the prophets will be<br />

conspicuously displayed on the earth and in the sky. They will involve blood, fire and pillars<br />

or vapour of smoke. <strong>Blood</strong>, fire and pillars or vapour of smoke are defined as follows below:<br />

<strong>Blood</strong>: Strongs #129 aima defined as either blood of man or animals or blood shed by<br />

violence or murder. The Hebrew word H1818 used in Joel 2:30 is dawm defined as<br />

blood (as that which when shed causes death) of man or an animal; by analogy<br />

bloodshed.<br />

<strong>Fire</strong>: literal fire. The Hebrew H784 aysh is a primitive word; fire (literally or figuratively):<br />

- burning, fiery, fire, flaming, hot.<br />

<strong>Pillars</strong> of smoke: Pillar is literally a pile or heap. H8490 is defined as either a pillar,<br />

column or a palm-like spreading at top. <strong>Pillars</strong> is a column, that is, cloud: - pillar. A<br />

column is defined as an erect or elevated structure.<br />

Vapor: Strongs #822 atmis. A substance which impairs the transparency of the<br />

atmosphere-in this case smoke. Mist-to cloud ; to cover with vapor.


<strong>Smoke</strong>: G2586 kapnos is a visible vapor or substance expelled from burning.<br />

If we use these literal definitions to amplify the KJV translation of Joel 2:30 the following<br />

detailed picture of the signs and wonders prophesied by Joel is revealed:<br />

An d I w ill p e rm it e xtrao rd in ary e ve n ts o u ts id e th e o rd in ary c o u rs e o f<br />

n atu re th at w ill s h o c k an d aw e th e w o rld as an in d ic ato r o r o m e n<br />

Certainly “911” fits this description as these pictures reveal.<br />

Is 911 a lying wonder? (Joel 2:30 & 2 Thessalonians 2:9)<br />

The next question to be answered regarding the significance of 911 in the prophesied arrival<br />

of Antichrist and the fulfillment of Joel 2:30 is whether or not 911 is a ly ing wonder.


Again, both 2 Thessalonians 2:9, Joel 2:30 and Acts 2:19 use the word wonders in teaching<br />

that startling, fraudulent, deceitful, unjust and immoral Satanic activities pave the way for<br />

Antichrist to deceive the world as he ascends to global dictatorship preceding the day of the<br />

Lord.<br />

2 Thessalonians 2:9-12 expands the description of these wonders and explains that they are<br />

lying wonders.<br />

9Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10<strong>And</strong><br />

with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth,<br />

that they might be saved. 11<strong>And</strong> for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a<br />

lie: 12That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.<br />

The word lying used to describe the wonders is Strongs #5579 pseudos. Pseudos means false,<br />

counterfeit, spurious or not genuine; not proceeding from the true source or the pretended<br />

source.<br />

911 truth<br />

The official conspiracy theory communicated to the American public by the varied voices of<br />

the Bush administration involves a vast amount of false information evidenced by the<br />

summaries and informative links presented below.<br />

1. Mathematical techniques such as Boolean Algebra and Probability Theory prove that the<br />

likelihood that the official conspiracy theory is true is near zero.<br />

Accepting the official story of the 9/11/01 attack requires one to accept a long series of<br />

anomalies -- extremely improbable events, amazing coincidences, and contradictions.<br />

6. As the links below reveal, WTC Building #7 (a 47 story high-rise not hit by an airplane)<br />

exhibits all the characteristics of a classic controlled demolition with explosives as evidenced<br />

by:<br />

Rapid onset of “collapse”<br />

Sounds of explosions at ground floor - a full second prior to collapse (heard by<br />

hundreds of firemen and media reporters)<br />

Symmetrical “collapse” – through the path of greatest resistance – at nearly free-fall speed<br />

— the columns gave no resistance<br />

Squibs, or “mistimed” explosions, at the upper 7 floors seen in the network videos<br />

“Collapses” into its own footprint with the steel skeleton broken up for shipment<br />

Massive volume of expanding pyroclastic dust clouds<br />

Tons of molten Metal found by Controlled Demolition Incorporated in the basement.<br />

Chemical signature of Thermate (high tech incendiary) found in slag, solidified molten<br />

metal, and dust samples.<br />

7. As the following links reveal, WTC Building #7 exhibits none of the characteristics of<br />

destruction by fire listed below:<br />

Slow onset of collapse with large visible deformations<br />

Asymmetrical collapse which follows the path of least resistance. The laws of<br />

conservation of momentum would cause a falling, to the side most damaged by the fires.<br />

Evidence of fire temperatures capable of softening steel<br />

High-rise buildings with much larger, hotter, and longer lasting fires have never<br />

“collapsed”<br />

8. As seen in the photo found here (link: Twin Towers' destruction), the towers exhibited all<br />

the characteristics of destruction by explosions listed below:


Extremely rapid onset of “collapse”<br />

Sounds of explosions at plane impact zone — a full second prior to collapse (heard by<br />

118 first responders as well as by media reporters)<br />

Observations of flashes (seen by numerous professionals)<br />

Squibs, or “mistimed” explosions, 40 floors below the “collapsing” building seen in all<br />

the videos<br />

Mid-air pulverization of all the 90,000 tons of concrete and steel decking, filing cabinets<br />

& 1000 people – mostly to dust<br />

Massive volume of expanding pyroclastic dust clouds<br />

Vertical progression of full building perimeter demolition waves<br />

Symmetrical collapse – through the path of greatest resistance – at nearly free-fall speed<br />

— the columns gave no resistance<br />

1,400 foot diameter field of equally distributed debris – outside of building footprint<br />

Blast waves blew out windows in buildings 400 feet away<br />

Lateral ejection of thousands of individual 20 - 50 ton steel beams up to 500 feet<br />

Total destruction of the building down to individual structural steel elements –<br />

obliterating the steel core structure.<br />

Tons of molten Metal found by FDNY under all 3 high-rises (no other possible source<br />

other than an incendiary cutting charge such as Thermate)<br />

10. Routine interception procedures were not followed on September 11th, 2001.<br />

Layered failures of standard operating procedure occurred.<br />

It is standard operating procedure to scramble jet fighters whenever a jetliner goes off course<br />

or radio contact with it is lost. The air traffic control system continuously monitors air traffic<br />

and notifies NORAD of any deviations of any aircraft from their flight-paths or loss of radio<br />

contact.


Yet it failed to respond in a timely manner until after the 911 attack was over which was<br />

more than an hour and a half after it began.<br />

government of the United States, through it’s actions, negligence and omissions is<br />

responsible for the 911 attacks motivated by strategic military and economic interests and<br />

has attempted to suppress truth concerning 911. In 2004, an alliance of 100 prominent<br />

Americans and 40 family members of those killed on 9/11 today announced the release of<br />

the 911 Truth Statement, a call for immediate inquiry into evidence that suggests high-level<br />

Undemocratic, unconstitutional suppression of 911 truth<br />

Not only have many lies been found in the official government conspiracy theory, the Bush<br />

Administration has also actively suppressed investigations to discover what really happened<br />

on 911. This suppression of truth was revealed early on in the 911 saga in the dictatorial<br />

commands of President G.W. Bush in polarizing statements such as “let us never tolerate<br />

outrageous conspiracy theories that attempt to shift the blame away from the terrorists themselves” and the<br />

manipulative false dilemma created by the dogmatic lie that "Either you are with us, or you are<br />

with the terrorists."<br />

“Americans should not expect one battle, but a lengthy campaign, unlike any other we<br />

have ever seen. It may include dramatic strikes, visible on TV, and covert operations,<br />

secret even in success. We will starve terrorists of funding, turn them one against<br />

another, drive them from place to place, until there is no refuge or no rest. <strong>And</strong> we will<br />

pursue nations that provide aid or safe haven to terrorism. Every nation, in every region,<br />

now has a decision to make. Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists. From<br />

this day forward, any nation that continues to harbor or support terrorism will be<br />

regarded by the United States as a hostile regime.” [US President, 9/24/2001]<br />

Such statements indicate that we are expected to blindly trust the Bush administration and<br />

place our faith in President Bush’s unconstitutional declaration of global war based upon the<br />

911 event.


Former Attorney General John Ashcroft, another professing Christian, insinuated that U.S.<br />

citizens protecting Constitutionally based civil liberties in the wake of 911 were themselves<br />

terrorists aiding the terrorists.<br />

Ashcroft, pictured above with President Bush, is quoted in December 2001 Senate hearings<br />

stating:<br />

“Your tactics only aid terrorists, for they erode our national unity and diminish our resolve. They give<br />

ammunition to America’s enemies and pause to America’s friends. “ (Washington Post, December 7, 2001)


Truth suppression is evidenced by the failure of the Bush Administration to respond<br />

democratically to the call of the people for a truly independent investigation of the entire<br />

911 scenario. Deceitful hypocrisy is revealed in a global war on terror to spread democracy<br />

outside the borders of America while civil liberties within American borders legally<br />

guaranteed under the U.S. Constitution erode illegally for war’s sake. Truth suppression is<br />

practiced by the establishment media through unjust filtering and degrading labeling of many<br />

individuals and groups who possess testimony, film footage, logical and scientific arguments<br />

which refute various aspects of the official conspiracy theory. This suppression has<br />

supported the Bush Administration in it’s use of 911 as a pretext to craft and enact H.R.<br />

6166, H.R. 1585 and NSPD-51/HSPD-20 authorizing the U.S. military to plan the<br />

integration of the military with civil authorities so that a full fledged martial law apparatus<br />

can controlled by the President in the event of any sort of catastrophic national emergency.<br />

Summary<br />

The cunning deceit of Satan is revealed in the development, promotion<br />

and use of the official 911 conspiracy theory approved by the Bush<br />

Administration. In antichrist like fashion, President George W. Bush is<br />

seeking to overcome evil by military force and murderous wars and<br />

destructive public policies have been spun as essential for the physical<br />

security, peace and prosperity of the world. (Daniel 8:23-25; Revelation 13:3-4; Isaiah 14:1-<br />

23; 1 Thessalonians 5:1-3; 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12)


The Bush administration has already used the lying wonder of 911 as a pretext to begin<br />

reconstructing the Middle East in the image of the U.S. through military conquest of<br />

Afghanistan and the strategic biblical region of the Tigris-Euphrates River in the biblical land<br />

of Babylon we now call Iraq. Using 911 as a pretext, President Bush has bypassed<br />

Constitutional law in order to craft and enact laws such as H.R. 6166, H.R. 1585 and NSPD-<br />

51/HSPD-20 authorizing the U.S. military to plan the integration of the military with civil<br />

authorities so that a full fledged martial law apparatus can be controlled by the President in<br />

the event of any sort of catastrophic national emergency.<br />

Mr. Palestine<br />

President George W. Bush, whose membership within the occult secret society Skull &<br />

Bones was discussed at brief in Chapter 2, (see links below for more information)<br />

http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/928351.html<br />

Should President Bush succeed in fulfilling The Road Map To Peace vision dividing Israel<br />

into two independent states living beside one another in peace and security in 2008, it should<br />

make right wing conservative pre-tribulation rapture believers finally renounce their support<br />

of the Bush Administration as well as the false pre-tribulation doctrine. This is because many<br />

of them have been taught that it will be antichrist who will lead Israel to believe that she has<br />

finally achieved lasting peace within her borders as he brokers or guarantees Israel’s security<br />

as Israel and Palestine implement the peace treaty.<br />

Should Bush be allowed to fulfill this drive to broker the Middle East peace in 2008, this<br />

could be one more sign that the day of the Lord is at hand because the scripture prophesies<br />

that it will be the deceitful policies of antichrist that will divide the land of Israel for gain.<br />

(Daniel 11:39; Joel 3:2; Zechariah 14:1-2; Micah 2:4; Isaiah 10:13) Sadly, this act of rebellious<br />

blasphemy against the word of God will bring God’s wrath upon the world.


There appears to be a number of foreboding signs on the political horizon indicating that<br />

the day of the Lord and the accompanying war of antichrist on the saints is approaching.<br />

In 2008 we should be able to better discern whether President Bush is simply another<br />

antichrist,<br />

a counterfeit imposter posing as antichrist intended by Satan to disguise the stealth arrival of<br />

the real beast as he arrives in parallel; or more unlikely yet, it will become plain to those that<br />

are watching that Mr. Palestine is the beast. Chapter 6 of this book will take a closer look at<br />

the role of President Bush as the potential broker of the elusive Middle East peace treaty<br />

considered by pre-tribulation rapture teachers as the beginning of the final seven years<br />

before the return of the Lord Jesus Christ in glory and power.


Before this, however, we’ll take a look across the Atlantic in the next chapter towards the<br />

European Union and it‘s transatlantic partnership with the United States.<br />

Over the past few decades, Europe has been considered by many prophecy experts as the<br />

place from which Antichrist will arise. Chapter 4 will assess the current role of the US and<br />

the EU in the new international order. Chapter 5 will then compare their current and<br />

projected political roles to the role of the fourth and final world kingdom or beast depicted<br />

in the biblical prophecies of Daniel 2:32-35, Daniel 2:40-45, Daniel 7: 7-8, Daniel 7:19-28,<br />

Revelation 13 and Revelation 17.


Introduction<br />

Chapter 4<br />

Sid e -b y -Sid e : U.S. & EU<br />

This study regarding 911 as a possible sign that the day of the Lord is near wouldn’t be<br />

complete without considering the roles of the United States and the European Union within<br />

the new international order since 911.<br />

It’s important to consider the impact of 911 on Europe because bible prophecy teachers<br />

have been predicting for decades that a European super state would arise as a revival of the<br />

ancient Roman Empire fulfilling prophecies within Daniel 2, 7 and Revelation 13.<br />

What impact has 911 had upon Europe?<br />

Zbigniew Brezezinski writes in his 1997 work, The Grand Chessboard: American Primacy <strong>And</strong> It’s<br />

Geostrategic Imperatives, that “Europe is America’s essential geopolitical bridgehead on the<br />

Eurasian continent.””Without close transatlantic ties, America’s primacy in Eurasia promptly<br />

fades away. U.S. control over the Atlantic Ocean and the ability to project influence and<br />

power deeper into Eurasia would be severely circumscribed. 1 The American-European<br />

Madrid declaration of 1995 underscored American support of European unity. European<br />

unity, if linked to the U.S., broadens the globalization of the democratic global economic<br />

system which increases the ability of the U.S. to exercise global hegemony. (Brezezinski,<br />

1997) Brezezinski summarizes U.S.-EU relations this way: America’s geostrategic goal in<br />

Europe is to consolidate through a more genuine transatlantic partnership the U.S.<br />

bridgehead in Eurasia in order to use this bridgehead as a springboard for expanding the<br />

international democratic and cooperative order. In short, a stronger U.S.-EU transatlantic<br />

partnership is a means to the U.S. end of establishing the new world order.<br />

1 Zbigniew Brezezinski, The Grand Chessboard: American Primacy <strong>And</strong> It’s Geostrategic<br />

Imperatives, Basic Books, New York, 1997, pg. 59.


Immediately following the 911 attacks, European government officials expressed complete<br />

solidarity with the call of the U.S. government to a global war on terror; although broadening<br />

the war to Iraq and any nation not proven to be linked with Al Qaeda was met with<br />

skepticism. (http://www.cdi.org/terrorism/europe-pr.cfm)<br />

Overall, however, the global war on terror has served as a catalyst accelerating Europe’s<br />

drive to become a unified political-military power which cooperates with the U.S. in the<br />

transatlantic partnership. (http://www.watsoninstitute.org/bjwa/archive/8.2/911/Golino.pdf)<br />

Currently, Europe allegedly faces the same homegrown terror threats the U.S. claims<br />

threatens her domestically. (http://euobserver.com/9/25482/?rk=1) In light of this claim and<br />

other factors, EU leaders signed the Treaty of Lisbon December 13, 2007 claiming it will<br />

make Europe more democratic, unified, efficient, secure against terrorism, and globally<br />

instrumental. (http://europa.eu/lisbon_treaty/glance/index_en.htm)<br />

In spite of some differences on the direction of the global war on terror, this chapter will<br />

show that both the U.S. and the EU are currently committed to building an international<br />

order of secure democracies led by America. It will show that the two are currently politically<br />

purposeful partners in strengthening the international order.<br />

We’ll understand the primary role of the U.S. in the new international order centers on<br />

expanding the globalization of capitalism to new Gap states as the Leviathan military force<br />

and guaranteeing the security of integrated Core states leading a multi-national System<br />

Administrator police force enforcing America’s global rule sets or the rule of law.<br />

We’ll also see the parallel role of the EU currently focused on providing multinational<br />

military support and promoting policy serving to strengthen the new international order. The<br />

chapter will focus on understanding the basic roles of the U.S. and the EU in the new world<br />

order.<br />

Chapter 5 will then analyze the roles and characteristics of the EU and U.S. against the<br />

characteristics of the fourth and final global kingdom as revealed in the prophecy of Daniel<br />

and the apostle John.<br />

U.S.-EU transatlantic partnership


This look at the EU and US relationship and its place in biblical prophecy begins with a look<br />

at the 2006 National Security Strategy of the United States. The excerpt from this document<br />

below shows us that it’s the responsibility of the U.S. to lead the international order through<br />

multinational efforts deceitfully promising the world freedom, prosperity and peace.<br />

Apparently running a parallel path across the Atlantic Ocean, European High Representative<br />

for the Common Foreign and Security Policy Javier Solana Madariaga proposes The<br />

European Security Strategy adopted by the Heads of State and Government at the European<br />

Council in Brussels, Belgium 12/12/2003.<br />

Sounding as if it’s been taken from a common playbook, The European Security Strategy<br />

confirms America’s military leadership role through the NATO Alliance in the transatlantic<br />

partnership between the U.S. and Europe within the international order.<br />

(http://www.nato.int/docu/pr/1999/p99-065e.htm)<br />

(http://ww w.nato.int/nato-welcome/index.html)


“The United States has played a critical role in European integration and<br />

European security, in particular through NATO. The end of the Cold War<br />

has left the United States in a dominant position as a military actor.<br />

However, no single country is able to tackle today’s complex problems on<br />

it’s own.”<br />

“One of the core elements of the international system is the transatlantic<br />

partnership. This is not only in our bilateral interest but strengthens the<br />

international community as a whole. NATO is an important expression<br />

of this relationship.”<br />

U.S. hardball versus EU softball ?<br />

(Javier Solana in “A Secure Europe In A Better World: The European Security Strategy”)<br />

Are the national security strategies of the U.S. and EU very much alike in spite of<br />

fundamental differences between their people?<br />

CFR member; co-founder of Project For A New American Century (PNAC); director of the U.S.<br />

Leadership Project; senior associate at the Carnegie Endowment for Peace; Yale, Harvard and<br />

American University alumni scholar Robert Kagan contrasts the difference in the typical<br />

mindset of Americans and Europeans in the book, <strong>Of</strong> Paradise <strong>And</strong> Power: America and Europe<br />

in the New World Order.<br />

Kagan shares the general perception is that Americans favor threats of force, while<br />

Europeans favor peaceful negotiation and peaceful diplomacy in order to resolve conflicts.<br />

Kagan points out that Americans subscribe more to the Hobbesian doctrine that human<br />

nature left unchecked would lead to war against all; while Europeans practice Enlightened<br />

classic liberal foreign relations promoting open markets and liberal trade. In other words,<br />

swift Old Testament “eye for an eye” justice is the American way, while rehabilitation is<br />

more popular in Europe. This is revealed in the fact that in order to join the EU, a nation<br />

must renounce capital punishment. It’s important to remember, however, that the contrast<br />

between Americans and Europeans isn’t as big as it seems because Americans share the great<br />

dream of the European Enlightenment.<br />

Although the U.S. and the EU are transatlantic partners in the New World Order, we see an<br />

apparent contrast between the U.S. and EU represented in images of the heads of state<br />

embodied in U.S. President George W. Bush and Dr. Javier Solana Madariaga; High<br />

Representative for the Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP) and the Secretary-<br />

General of both the Council of the European Union (EU) and the Western European Union<br />

(WEU).


In spite of the contrasting foreign policy image generally presented to us by the<br />

programmers, I believe the Bush-Solana partnership in their international order of shared<br />

values is better depicted in the side by side photograph of the two leaders below.<br />

Jeremy Rifkin, fellow at the Wharton School’s Executive Education Program and President<br />

of the Foundation on Economic Trends in Washington, D.C. is the author of The European<br />

Dream. In that work, Rifkin observes that the fundamental difference between the people of<br />

the U.S. and EU lie in their feelings about God and moral absolutes. It’s religious belief,<br />

whether biblically based or not, that seems to be the root difference between the beliefs of<br />

the people of the U.S. and EU concerning human rights, national sovereignty and patriotic<br />

pride.<br />

Belief in God and some timeless moral absolutes characterize many Americans. Belief in<br />

individual situational ethics divorced from God’s moral law is a more common belief in<br />

Europe. As a result, war is sold to Americans based upon the need for the forces of good to<br />

conquer evil and support our national interests. Europeans, on the other hand, promote<br />

peaceful diplomatic negotiation rather than force.<br />

Kagan’s historical glimpse of American and European foreign policy reveals, however, that<br />

each group has relied more upon force than diplomacy when they were in a position of<br />

military superiority. He reminds us that in the face of more powerful European forces, early<br />

America statesman, like today’s European leaders checked by American military power,


employed international law and opinion to calm strife. As American military power grew,<br />

however, power politics became America’s modus operandi. Kagan concludes that although<br />

Europe isn’t capable of constraining the U.S., the U.S and EU need to build upon shared<br />

Western values. He believes Europeans and Americans need to accept America’s dominating<br />

influence and global hegemony. At the same time, however, he believes that Europe needs<br />

to improve her military capabilities as America returns to a decent respect for mankind in<br />

order to improve the transatlantic partnership for a better world. 2<br />

Joseph Nye, Jr. (CFR), Dean of the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard, former<br />

National Intelligence Chairman and Assistant Secretary of defense under President Clinton,<br />

observes in The Paradox <strong>Of</strong> American Power, that reports of transatlantic differences are often<br />

overstated.<br />

Mr. Nye writes:<br />

“As Karstan Voigt, a senior German politician, put it, “The distinction between foreign and domestic policy<br />

has blurred as our societies have interwoven.” 3<br />

Zbigniew Brzezinski (CFR), counselor and trustee at the Center for Strategic and<br />

International Studies and professor of American foreign policy at the School of Advanced<br />

International Studies at John Hopkins University, writes in Second Chance: Three Presidents and<br />

the Crisis of American Superpower: “it is essential for America to preserve and fortify its<br />

transatlantic ties”. 4 The three Presidents/Global Leaders referred to in the book are Bush I,<br />

Clinton and Bush II.<br />

Brzezinski believes the U.S and EU “could be the decisive force for good in the world” 5 . He<br />

believes “America has a monopoly on global military reach, an economy second to none,<br />

and peerless technological innovation, all of which give it unique worldwide political clout.<br />

Moreover, there is a widespread, if unspoken, practical recognition that the international<br />

system needs a stabilizer, and that the most likely short term alternative to a constructive<br />

American world role is chaos. An intelligent Global Leader IV should still be able to exploit<br />

that feeling…” 6<br />

Brzezinski proceeds to make a case America to “preserve and fortify its transatlantic ties<br />

because while the “United States needs a politically purposeful Europe as a global partner”<br />

to form globally responsible policy, Europe needs American power to avoid becoming selfcentered<br />

and divisive. 7<br />

Brzezinski continues on in Second Chance to call for the American President to lead in<br />

teaching the public about America’s global responsibility in a state of the world speech 8 . This<br />

fits well with the future role of America that Jim Garrison, president of the State of The<br />

World Forum, depicts in America as Empire. Garrison’s message is that it’s America’s<br />

responsibility to be the guarantor of global security and lead the nations into the next<br />

iteration of global governance, a new form of democracy he terms network governance, in<br />

which the world is united as a single matrix. 9<br />

All of this meshes well with the occult plans of the Spiritual Hierarchy for America and the<br />

world outlined by Alice A. Bailey in The Destiny of the Nations. This new age occult religious<br />

book, confirming the reality of spiritual forces revealed in Ephesians 6:12, details the<br />

interplay of magical demonic forces in the battle between directing agencies within the Great<br />

White Brotherhood and the Lodge of Materialistic Forces. Bailey teaches that these directing<br />

agencies produce the international religious and economic conflicts we see. 10 Under the<br />

demonic plan of the Spiritual Hierarchy, three great fusing energies are said to exist on<br />

planet earth. These vital centres are as follows:<br />

Russia blending eastern Europe and northern and western Asia<br />

U.S. and later South America blending central and western Europe and the whole<br />

western hemisphere<br />

British Empire blending the entire world 11<br />

Bailey states that the United States is “fusing the nationals of many nations into one<br />

federated state with many subsidiary states, instead of subsidiary nations” working with<br />

Great Britain “with this wide objective in order to give to the planet a system of groupings<br />

within one national border or empire, and yet with an implication which will be symbolic of<br />

the coming new age of government.” 12<br />

Transatlantic Economic Council<br />

In spite of the fact that the U.S. and EU are sometimes made to appear in opposition, in<br />

actuality, the EU and the U.S. have been cooperating to integrate economically for years.<br />

The Transatlantic Economic Council exists for this purpose.<br />

The political function of The Transatlantic Economic Council is to oversee and accelerate<br />

government-to-government cooperation aimed at advancing economic integration between<br />

the EU and U.S.<br />

April 30, 2007 EU-US Whitehouse Summit, German Chancellor Merkel, President Bush and<br />

European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso German Chancellor Angela Merkel, President<br />

Bush where they launched the Transatlantic Economic Council<br />

Jerome Corsi of World Net daily reports that the EU-US transatlantic partnership is well<br />

underway and divorced from U.S. Congressional approval as 6 U.S. senators and 49 House<br />

members are advisers for Transatlantic Policy Network – a non-governmental organization<br />

headquartered in Washington and Brussels the working toward a Transatlantic Common<br />

Market between the EU and US by 2015.<br />

(http://wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=59713)<br />

Couched within Annex 7 Innovation and Technology section of the Framework for Advancing<br />

Transatlantic Economic Integration between the United States of America and the European<br />

Union is the following resolve:<br />

conduct an exchange of innovation experts to discuss best practices working together on interoperability of<br />

electronic health record systems; all dimensions related to RFID; and development of a framework of<br />

regulation and payment policies that promote innovation.<br />

The European-American Business Council represents 68 US and European global<br />

companies united in promoting Trans-Atlantic investment, innovation and integration.<br />

They appealed to Bush, Merkel and Barroso of the need for medical records that are<br />

immediately accessible anytime and anywhere through cost efficient cutting edge electronic<br />

health information technology. (http://www.eabc.org/policypapers/EABC-US-EU-<br />

Summit-2007-Agenda.pdf)


Here’s an excerpt from their appeal:<br />

“Medical records need to be accessible “any time, any where”. Ironically, while the West has the world’s<br />

best technologies for treating patients, health care providers as a business have not kept pace with other sectors<br />

in making use of information technology in the area of patient records. The potential for greater efficiency,<br />

accuracy, patient safety and lower costs through use of IT has been virtually untapped. These systemic<br />

inefficiencies, combined with exponential growth in demand for services threaten our ability to maintain a<br />

healthy, productive and competitive workforce and economy. To address this shortfall in the use of cutting<br />

edge IT management systems, the EABC calls upon the US and EU to focus greater action in three key<br />

areas: 1) Deployment of home-based health care technologies; 2) Development of open standards based,<br />

interoperable Atlantic systems for electronic storage and transmission of patient records and prescriptions; and<br />

3) Establishment of a global system for sharing data crucial to the containment of infectious disease. It is in this<br />

last area that a firm commitment to Atlantic cooperation is most urgently needed. To ensure our ability to<br />

contain future outbreaks of infectious disease, the EABC advocates that the 2007 Summit Declaration<br />

announce the intention to create an EU-US eHealth Roadmap for harmonization of patient records standards<br />

to foster real-time Atlantic transmission of crucial patient information in emergency situations. On May 10,<br />

2007 the EABC will hold a one-day eHealth Policy Workshop in Brussels for key EU and US government<br />

officials, as well as industry executives to make progress towards this goal.”<br />

Implantable microchips<br />

<strong>Of</strong> course, the road to achieving instantaneous, real time reporting is through the use of an<br />

implantable computer chip.<br />

On Oct. 13, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the VeriChip, a<br />

computer chip implanted subcutaneously to facilitate medical record access produced and<br />

marketed by Applied Digital Solutions Inc. (ADS) in Delray Beach, Florida. The tiny<br />

electronic capsule transmits a unique code to a scanner that allows doctors to confirm a<br />

patient's identity and obtain detailed medical record information from an associated secure<br />

database. The goal is to improve care and avoid errors by ensuring that doctors know whom<br />

they are treating and the patient's personal health details.<br />

http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/491994<br />

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A29954-2004Oct13.html<br />

Since the FDA clearance of VeriChip for medical applications, five hospitals have agreed to<br />

adopt the VeriChip system in their emergency departments. However, as of the end of 2006,<br />

only 222 medical patients in total had opted to get the RFID chips from VeriChip implanted,<br />

according to documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.<br />

http://www.hoise.com/vmw/07/articles/vmw/LV-VM-06-07-5.html<br />

President Bush has commanded that all Americans must have a personal electronic medical<br />

record by 2014 as found at the following link:<br />

http://www.tatrc.org/website_eic/index.html.<br />

“Within ten years, every American must have a personal electronic medical record…The federal government<br />

has got to take the lead in order to make this happen by developing what’s called technical standards.”<br />

President George W. Bush, April 2004


Electronic Information Carriers (EIC) are developed and in military use being refined to<br />

fulfill this purpose. Liberty Alliance, an organization leading global banks, technology<br />

corporations, wireless providers and government agencies is striving to establish global<br />

federated identity standards.<br />

Global Interoperable ID<br />

International travelers entering the U.S. are already incorporated into the electronic database<br />

behind the Department of Homeland security program known as US-VISIT. US-VISIT<br />

currently applies to all visitors (with limited exemptions) entering the United States,<br />

regardless of country of origin or whether they are traveling on a visa or by air, sea or land.<br />

Most visitors experience US-VISIT’s biometric procedures – digital, inkless finger scans and<br />

digital photograph – upon entry to the United States.<br />

(http://www.dhs.gov/xnews/releases/pr_1160495895724.shtm)<br />

In light of the above EU-U.S. transatlantic integration goals and the timetable for<br />

implementation of personal electronic medical records and Real ID, it’s not unrealistic to<br />

think that an interoperable global biometric RFID/personal electronic medical<br />

record/electronic payment card or implantable ID/personal medical record/electronic<br />

payment microchip will be required of U.S., EU and other world citizens by approximately<br />

2014 barring divine restraint.<br />

This interoperable ID matrix will be implemented in God’s time and become a tool of<br />

judgment in His hand to be turned against those that fawn and submit to the authority of the<br />

beast kingdom in fear of its supreme military power. (Revelation 13:3-4, Revelation 16:2)<br />

Many revolutionaries who understand the deceptive intent of the false prophet will<br />

overcome the beast kingdom. (Daniel 11:33-35; Revelation 7:9-17) They will resist his<br />

command to obey his economic rule set or universal law instituting that they provide of<br />

themselves a mark or imprint of their right hand or their forehead/face in order to be<br />

considered secure to buy and sell in the global economy through possession of this ID mark,<br />

and the name of the beast nation and their personal number. (Daniel 11:35, 12:9; Revelation<br />

6:9-11, 7:0-17, 13:11-18, 19:20, 20: 4) In reward for their faithful and courageous obedience<br />

they will live and rule with Jesus Christ while the beast nation and his lying, dragon tongued<br />

false prophet Antichrist experience eternal torment in the lake of fire and brimstone.<br />

(Revelation 20:1-10)<br />

Conclusion: The U.S. Leviathan<br />

Thomas P.M. Barnett, Ph.D Harvard Political Science, was a Senior Strategic Researcher and<br />

Professor in the Warfare Analysis & Research Department, Center for Naval Warfare<br />

Studies, U.S. Naval War College, Newport, Rhode Island from 1998-2004. Following the<br />

September 11, 2001 attacks, from October 2001 to June 2003, Barnett worked as the<br />

Assistant for Strategic Futures in the <strong>Of</strong>fice of Force Transformation in the Department of<br />

Defense.


Barnett is currently the Senior Managing Director of Enterra Solutions, a contributing editor<br />

for Esquire magazine, a Distinguished Scholar and Author at the Howard H. Baker, Jr.<br />

Center for Public Policy at the University of Tennessee, and a columnist for the Knoxville<br />

News Sentinel.<br />

At the Naval War College, Barnett served as Director of the New Rule Sets Project<br />

exploring how the spread of globalization changes the "rules of the road" in the international<br />

security environment and how these changes redefine the U.S. Military's historic role as<br />

"security enabler" of America's commercial network ties with the world.<br />

(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Barnett)<br />

Barnett calls the U.S. the world’s Leviathan. Interestingly, in the context of the day of the<br />

Lord, Isaiah 27:1 describes leviathan as the piercing, crooked serpent punished by the Lord.<br />

Barnett echoes the call of Brzezinski, Nye, Garrison and Kagan for America to lead the<br />

economic integration of the world as globalization’s bodyguard and gauranteer of security.<br />

The U.S. role, according to Barnett’s strategic plans, is for the U.S. to decisively employ<br />

powerful, unilateral, U.S. based, preemptive Leviathan military force to bring war against<br />

Gap states refusing to integrate with our global security rule sets and use multinational global<br />

System Administrator police-like forces both inside and outside the U.S. against individuals<br />

within integrated Core states defined by security rule sets as enemies of the state.13 In short,<br />

Barnett teaches that America will administer the global economic system as its sole military<br />

superpower. 14<br />

Barnett’s belief, which aligns with the biblical prophecy of Revelation 17:12-13 concerning<br />

the final global kingdom, is “…there are only two types of people in the world: those who<br />

live in states united and those who someday will.” 15<br />

The chapter to follow will analyze the characteristics of the future global state; the fourth<br />

kingdom of the beast foretold by the prophet Daniel and the Apostle John.<br />

Chapter 5<br />

EU o r U.S. Be ast?<br />

Introduction: Antichrist as head of 10 nation revived Roman Empire?<br />

Many biblical prophecy teachers have long believed that Antichrist would arise in Europe as the<br />

head of a ten nation revived Roman Empire.<br />

One of the more credible active biblical based theories concerning Antichrist was originally seen by<br />

the late Herb Peters. His work, begun in the book, Recommendation 666, is being faithfully carried on<br />

by his daughter and son-in law, Holly & Adam Pivec, at www.fulfilledprophecy.com. They continue<br />

watching to see if Javier Solana, or another future EU leader, will arise in Europe as Antichrist.<br />

I have followed the work at www.fulfilledprophecy.com since 2004 and appreciate the cautious<br />

watchfulness, faithfulness and wise restraint used by them in the difficult work of interpreting<br />

current events in light of biblical prophecy. As is common with many American prophecy teachers,<br />

however, their prophetic paradigm is that the U.S. isn’t mentioned in the scriptures. They forget that<br />

the actual name of the beast, false prophet, Antichrist, man of sin, son of perdition, Babylon the<br />

Great and many false prophets and antichrists aren’t given in scripture either. In spite of the fact that<br />

each isn’t specifically identified by name in the scriptures, each will be identifiable in the world by<br />

the way they’re described in scripture. Likewise, if the true character and actions of a nation match<br />

the prophetic description of a nation, that nation is “found” in the Bible even if it’s unnamed.<br />

Herb Peters taught in Recommendation 666 that the possible rise of Antichrist might be seen in the<br />

following signs:<br />

10 kings of Daniel 7:19-28; Revelation 13:1, Revelation 17:12 = 10 original Brussels Treaty<br />

powers as 10 core members of the Western European Union (WEU) with the WEU the


armed force to be used by the EU per the Maastricht Treaty 1993 and the Marseille<br />

Declaration of 2000.<br />

666 of Revelation 13:18 and Revelation 17:12,17 = WEU document titled Recommendation<br />

666 giving the WEU Secretary General and the Council Secretary General and High<br />

Representative for the Common Foreign Security Policy (CFSP) power to convene the<br />

Council of Europe in the event of an emergency.<br />

Revelation 13:1-4; Revelation 17:12, 17 = WEU Secretary General and the Council Secretary<br />

General and High Representative for the Common Foreign Security Policy (CFSP) controls<br />

the 10 Brussels Treaty WEU Powers as the military wing of the EU.<br />

In this chapter, Peters’ teaching will be analyzed in light of biblical prophecy concerning the beast<br />

and the current transatlantic partnership of the U.S. and EU. In addition to this analysis, the current<br />

transatlantic partnership between the U.S. and the E.U. reviewed in chapter 4 will be compared to<br />

the biblical description of Antichrist and the public policy of the beast kingdom.<br />

If we are near the beginning, or already in the 70 th week of Daniel, the final seven years before the<br />

return of Jesus Christ to destroy the kingdom of Antichrist, we should see a strong correlation<br />

between the policies of the U.S. and the E.U. if either is to become the fourth and final kingdom of<br />

Antichrist.<br />

Daniel’s 4th kingdom: not a person but an empire<br />

To begin this analysis the scriptural description of the beast kingdom found in Daniel and<br />

Revelation will be compared to our understanding of the U.S. and the EU. This way the<br />

interpretation of scripture will originate with the biblical text rather than being presumptuously read<br />

into the text.<br />

The neuter gender of the beast and the 4 th & final kingdom of Daniel<br />

The Textus Receptus, the original Greek text underlying the KJV translation of the New Testament,<br />

shows that the use of the pronouns he and his are missing in every verse, with one exception,<br />

describing the beast. (See Revelation chapters 13, 17, 19, 20) The exception is found in Revelation


20:4 where a feminine pronoun refers to the beast. Even within this instance, however, the feminine<br />

pronoun used in the Textus Receptus is translated into a masculine pronoun in the KJV text as “his<br />

image”.<br />

The use of the masculine pronouns he and his to describe the beast are interesting because the<br />

gender of the noun beast is neuter, not masculine. As the feminine pronoun her is used to describe<br />

the United States, the masculine pronouns he and his are used to describe the beast. The masculine<br />

pronouns found in the KJV translation may reflect the authoritative military and political power the<br />

global beast kingdom will exercise.<br />

The addition of the masculine pronouns to describe the beast can detract from the truth that the<br />

beast describes a global empire or kingdom. The fact that the beast is an empire is underscored by<br />

the prophecies of Daniel describing the fourth kingdom. (Daniel 2:31-45, Daniel 7:7-28) This<br />

kingdom will be led by 10 leaders or kings as foretold in the New Testament in Revelation 13:1 and<br />

Revelation 17:12-13. Revelation 17:12-13 teaches that the 10 horns, driven by a resolute common<br />

purpose, will assume control of the beast kingdom.<br />

The fact that the beast of Revelation 13:1 is a kingdom is shown in the common fate that it shares<br />

with the fourth beast kingdom of Daniel. Daniel 7:9-11 teaches in the context of the final judgment<br />

to occur following the return of the Lord Jesus Christ, that “the beast was slain, and his body<br />

destroyed, and given to the burning flame.” Within the same context, Revelation 19:19-20 explains<br />

that John “saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him<br />

that sat on the horse, and against his army. <strong>And</strong> the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought<br />

miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped<br />

his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.” These verses show that the<br />

fourth and final kingdom of Daniel 7 and the beast of Revelation 19 share the common fate of a<br />

burning death.<br />

The most commonly accepted belief among modern biblical prophecy teachers is that the beast out<br />

of the sea in Revelation 13:1 represents Antichrist. We have just seen, however, that both Daniel 7<br />

and Revelation 13, 17 and 19 teach that the beast represents a kingdom controlled by 10 kings or<br />

political leaders. If the beast of Revelation 13:1 isn’t Antichrist, where is the man of sin found in the<br />

book of Revelation? Is Antichrist to be assumed to be the beast out of the sea named in Revelation<br />

13:1 because every kingdom has its king?<br />

Antichrist is the false prophet<br />

Revelation 13:11 tells us that another, or a different beast springs up on the global political scene.<br />

That beast is also of neuter gender. Neuter gender indicates that this beast, like the beast of<br />

Revelation 13:1, isn’t a man. This other beast is described as having two horns like a lamb and<br />

speech like a dragon.<br />

The Old Testament describes this beast as the “little horn”. Daniel 7:7-8 tell us that “another little<br />

horn” came up among the ten horns of the beast kingdom.


The word little used in Daniel 7:7-8 refers to small in quantity or time. It’s possible that Revelation<br />

17:10 is a reference to this little horn kingdom since the 7 th kingdom prophesied in that verse is said<br />

to “continue a short space” before the eighth and final earthly kingdom is established.<br />

9 <strong>And</strong> here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. 10 <strong>And</strong><br />

there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a<br />

short space. 11 <strong>And</strong> the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.<br />

12 <strong>And</strong> the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as<br />

kings one hour with the beast. 13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.<br />

(Revelation 17:9-13)<br />

“Continue a short space” means that this kingdom will remain in power a relatively short time. This<br />

little horn is also mentioned in Daniel 8:8-9 as originating out of one of the four divisions of<br />

Alexander the Greats’ Grecian Empire. This empire was a part of the eastern leg of the ancient<br />

Roman Empire which includes the modern nations of Turkey, Syria, Iraq, Jordan, Egypt, Lebanon,<br />

Israel, Iran, Kuwait, Cyprus, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, Armenia, and the countries of the Balkan<br />

Peninsula. Further detail on this topic can be found in Chapter 1 of the study at the link:<br />

http://www.escapebabylonsdemons.com/uploads/Project666.pdf<br />

We aren’t told that the two horns of Revelation 13:11 represent kings or political leaders like we<br />

were told that the ten kings of the beast of Revelation 13:1 and 17:12 represented kings. Thus, it’s<br />

incorrect to presume that the two horns represent two kings. Since the rest of Revelation 13:11<br />

contrasts the dragon-like speech of the beast kingdom with its two lamb-like horns, it follows that<br />

the two horns refer to behavioral characteristics and not kings.<br />

“Two horns like a lamb”<br />

What could be meant by the word picture “two horns like a lamb”?<br />

The word lamb, Strongs #721 arnion, is used 27 times in the book of Revelation to represent the<br />

Lord Jesus Christ. A lamb is perceived as a gentle, humble, meek animal.<br />

Figuratively speaking, the word horn can refer to power. This is illustrated in Habakkuk 3:4 and<br />

Jeremiah 48:25.<br />

If the use of the word lamb is a reference to the Lord Jesus Christ, then the two horns could<br />

represent the exercise of power in two ways such as the manner in which the Lord Jesus Christ<br />

exercises power as “high priest” and “prince of the kings of the earth”. (Hebrews 7:1-8:1; Revelation<br />

1:5) A beast with “two horns like a lamb” would then represent a nation that exercises power religiously<br />

and politically while professing faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; or at least a nation that professes to<br />

subscribe to moral principles and values taught by the Lamb of God. Such a nation may be filled<br />

with many “good and loving people” as George W. Bush has described America, however, the<br />

nation would be one that actively betrays the moral values of its generally good people.<br />

The blending of Christian religion and a bible based morality with corrupt politics is well illustrated<br />

within the United States. The same isn’t true of the European Union. Kevin Phillips reminds us that


the United States is the only major Western nation to be caught up in a powerful conservative<br />

religious tide. 1<br />

David S. Domke writes that George W. Bush had united a religious fundamentalist worldview with<br />

political language to create a political fundamentalism acceptable to Americans following 911.<br />

Concerning 911, after visiting Ground Zero, President George W. Bush said he “was lifted up by a<br />

wave of vengeance and testosterone and anger.” 2 This event was part of his rapid transformation<br />

from the “The Education President” to “The War President” on a crusade for good against the evil<br />

doers and evil ones. (Kelley, 2004)<br />

Domke informs that “Bush’s fusion of a religious outlook with administrative policy is a striking<br />

shift in rhetoric. Other presidents petitioned for blessings and guidance. Bush positions himself a<br />

prophet, speaking for God. “This conclusion is backed by a report from the Lancaster New Era<br />

report that George W. Bush told a gathering of Old Order Amish; “I trust God speaks through me.<br />

Without that, I couldn’t do my job.” 3<br />

“For the first time since religious conservatives became a modern political<br />

movement, the President of the United States has become the movement’s de facto<br />

leader. –Dana Milbank The Washington Post, 2001<br />

The Bush Administration is certainly a type of the two-horned beast; professing a compassionate,<br />

conservative Christianity aligning it with the moral values of its many moral supporters which is<br />

betrayed by its devil-speak. Defense Policy Board ex-chair and member Richard Perle known as<br />

“The Prince of Darkness” typifies this is his rant concerning the global war on terror following 911;<br />

“This is total war. We are fighting a variety of enemies. … If we just let our vision of the world go forth, and we<br />

embrace it entirely and we don’t try to piece together clever diplomacy, but just wage a total war…our children will<br />

sing great songs about us years from now.” 4<br />

“spake as a dragon”<br />

In scripture, the dragon represents Satan. Satan’s trademark is lying, deceiving, accusative hatred<br />

toward believers and denial that Jesus is the Christ. (John 8:44; I John 2:22; 1 John 4:20; Revelation<br />

12:9-10)<br />

The beast of Revelation 13:11 is an enigmatic combination. It combines a hypocritical mixture of<br />

humility, gentleness and meekness characteristic of the Lamb of God with the lying, deceitful,<br />

accusative, domineering devil-speak characteristic of a dragon. Its power is fueled not only through<br />

lies, but also in persistent, persuasive and unrealistic myth. The beast out of the earth is a nation that<br />

professes to be a light to the world and a great nation to be emulated. The truth of the matter is,<br />

however, the devilish, political warmongering of the two horned beast betrays its profession of<br />

compassionate goodness. This is consistent with Satan’s tendency to disguise himself as an angel or<br />

messenger of light. (2 Corinthians 11:14)<br />

Which nation in existence today believes that her moral principles and ideals are superior to other<br />

nations? That nation is the best candidate to be the two-horned beast pictured in Revelation 13:11-<br />

18; that is if we are very near to the beginning of the final seven year period before the Lord Jesus<br />

Christ returns to earth.<br />

The man of sin, the son of perdition: the mouth of the little horn beast<br />

Revelation 13:5 explains that the beast kingdom consisting of ten kings is given a mouth. Daniel 7:8-<br />

11 tell us that another little horn or kingdom springs up among the original ten kingdoms of the<br />

fourth and final beast kingdom. Daniel’s attention was arrested by the sound of the great, powerful<br />

and domineering words that the little horn was speaking.<br />

Revelation 13 provides the following characteristics of the mouth of the little horn:<br />

Speaking great things and blasphemies (Revelation 13:5, 6)<br />

Power given unto him to continue 42 months (Revelation 13:5)<br />

Makes war with the saints and overcomes them (Revelation 13:7)<br />

Power was given him over all kindreds, tongues and nations. (Revelation 13:7)<br />

He is worshipped by the unsaved. (Revelation 13:8)<br />

Exercises all the power of the beast with ten horns on its behalf (Revelation 13:12)<br />

Causeth the earth and its inhabitants to worship the beast kingdom (Revelation 13:12)<br />

Doeth great wonders making fire come down from heaven in plain sight (Revelation 13:13)<br />

Uses these miraculous wonders as a means to deceive the world (Revelation 13:14)<br />

Uses these wonders as a pretext to command the rest of the world to produce a likeness to<br />

the beast kingdom which had the public calamity or “wound by the sword” (Revelation<br />

13:14)<br />

This description of the mouth of the little horn is developed further in the description of Antichrist<br />

found in 2 Thessalonians 2:3-12. In depth studies of these verses can be found at the following links<br />

These verses describes that Wicked, that man of sin, the son of perdition ascending to global<br />

dictatorship behind startling, fraudulent, deceitful, unjust and immoral Satanic activities deceiving<br />

those that choose to believe a lie because they thought evil was good. In other words, Antichrist<br />

makes his appearance in stealth while disguising his true intentions. This man isn’t the same man he<br />

and his supporters claim he is. There is a sharp dichotomy between the order that this hypocritical,<br />

two-faced, two-horned Antichrist promises and the destructive chaos his policies create.


“<strong>And</strong> I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a<br />

dragon.” (Revelation 13:11)<br />

Like a lamb, Antichrist humbly promises security, peace and prosperity. The truth is, however, he’s<br />

lying like the devil. His deceitful policies are responsible for the opposite: unjust war and the murder<br />

of countless numbers of Christian saints and others, stealing of personal liberties and the destruction<br />

of national economies. (Daniel 8:25; John 10:10; Revelation 6:1-8; Revelation 13:4-8, 16-17)<br />

Regarding the coming of Antichrist, 2 Thessalonians 2:9 states:<br />

Even him, whose coming (Strongs #3952: arrival, advent, presence) is after (Strongs #2596: according to) the working<br />

of Satan with all power (Strongs #1411: great ability, dominion, and authority) and signs (Strongs #4592: signs signifying<br />

ties to a spiritual power; a prodigy, portent, i.e. an unusual occurrence transcending the common course of nature portending remarkable events<br />

soon to happen) and lying (Strongs #5579: falsehood) wonders (Strongs #5059: portent, omen, prodigy. A portent is an omen of<br />

ill; a prodigy indicating the approach of evil or calamity. A prodigy is a strange thing out of the ordinary process of nature and so<br />

extraordinary that it excites wonder or astonishment. Omens or signs and indicators can be drawn from prodigious events which point to a<br />

future event.)<br />

2 Thessalonians 2:4 describes Antichrist as a haughty man with a high opinion of himself and<br />

contempt for others. His arrogance and dictatorial manner put him in opposition to and set him<br />

against what anyone else worships or calls God as he demonstrates himself as the supreme ruler and<br />

decider.<br />

The fourth kingdom or beast<br />

As previously stated, the fourth kingdom or fourth beast, the final global kingdom in existence when<br />

the Lord Jesus Christ returns, is foretold in the prophecy of Daniel.<br />

These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth. But the saints of the most High shall<br />

take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom forever, even forever and ever. (Daniel 7:17-18)<br />

This beast is described in Daniel 7 as follows:<br />

After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had<br />

great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all<br />

the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns. (Daniel 7:7)<br />

Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth<br />

were of iron, and his nails of brass; which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet; (Daniel 7:19)<br />

Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms,<br />

and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces. (Daniel 7:23)<br />

Daniel 7:23 clearly teaches that the fourth beast is a kingdom.<br />

Amplified definitions of the adjectives used in the above verses to describe the beast kingdom are as<br />

follows:<br />

Exceeding dreadful: 3493-preeminently 1763- formidable, generates fear, makes people afraid<br />

Diverse from all the beasts that were before it: diverse 8133-different, changed, altered, differing<br />

In Daniel 2:40-44, the beast kingdom is described in the following way:<br />

<strong>And</strong> the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things: and as<br />

iron that breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise.<br />

<strong>And</strong> whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters’ clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there<br />

shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay.<br />

<strong>And</strong> as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.<br />

<strong>And</strong> whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall<br />

not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.<br />

<strong>And</strong> in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the<br />

kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand<br />

for ever.<br />

Amplified definitions of the adjectives used in the above verses to describe the beast kingdom are as<br />

follows:<br />

Strong as iron: Iron-a metal, the hardest, most common and most useful of all the metals;… It is so hard and<br />

elastic as to be capable of destroying the aggregation of any other metal. Next to tin, it is the lightest of all<br />

power, or great physical power; having the power of exerting great bodily force; vigorous.<br />

partly broken: 4481, 8406-part; in some measure or degree; not wholly fragile or brittle<br />

The following modern paraphrased description of the beast kingdom is the result of synthesizing the<br />

amplified meanings of the adjectives used to describe the kingdom in Daniel 2:40-44 and Daniel 7:7,<br />

Daniel 7:19 and Daniel 7:23.<br />

<strong>And</strong> the fourth kingdom shall be very powerful militarily. Strong as iron and able to smash the existing infrastructure<br />

of any nation to pieces, this formidable, preeminent global military power excites fear in those potentially opposing its<br />

will. (Daniel 2:40; Daniel 7:7)<br />

Characterized by a brazen disregard of others and motivated by a ravenous greed for their resources, the beast will<br />

slander and accuse differing non-integrated states in order to justify its clawing, preemptive attacks upon them. (Daniel<br />

7:19)<br />

In its military campaigns this beast shocks and awes its prey with the world’s most powerful, state of the art weaponry.<br />

After smashing an opponent with a formidable display of world class military strength, the beast then forces a differing,<br />

non-integrating state out of its existing socio-economic mold. It accomplishes this by using a divide and conquer strategy<br />

designed to fragment the nation into warring factions; trample the existing political structure, and ultimately leave its<br />

beastly image stamped or imprinted upon the face of the land of the newly occupied state. (Daniel 2:40; Daniel 2:44;<br />

Daniel 7:7; Daniel 7:19; Revelation 13: 14-18)<br />

In spite of this iron clad military hard power, the fourth kingdom remains a divided kingdom. This disunity exists<br />

between a mixture of its stronger and weaker client states distributed around the globe. The unity of its states is<br />

marked by the integration of each state with the beast into the global economic system. The client states are held<br />

together by the support of the beasts policing System Administrator forces and its soft power propaganda programs.<br />

(Daniel 2:41-43; Revelation 13:11-18)<br />

It is clear from this description of the fourth kingdom that the two iron legs which carried the<br />

fourth beast beyond its own borders in order to “devour the whole earth” (Daniel 7:23) and stamp<br />

its image upon states different from itself parallels the hard power foreign military strategy of the<br />

U.S. leviathan more than EU’s soft power.<br />

The soft power of the EU is currently focused on providing multinational military support in parallel<br />

with the U.S. and promoting policy serving to strengthen the global kingdom or new international<br />

order. If the military power of the EU rises to a level comparable to that of the U.S. in the future,


however, and the EU begins to pursue an aggressive, preemptive military strategy intent on<br />

spreading its image, it might be that the two iron legs of the beast are intended to represent the<br />

transatlantic partnership of the U.S. and the EU working together to forge the new international<br />

order of united states. Currently, however, the U.S. seems to best represent the fourth kingdom with<br />

the EU serving as its politically purposeful partner focused on providing multinational military<br />

support and promoting policy serving to strengthen the new international order.<br />

Conclusion: U.S. beast<br />

In The Grand Chessboard, American Primacy <strong>And</strong> Its Geostrategic Imperatives, Zbigniew Brzezinski reminds<br />

us that “the U.S. has always professed its fidelity to the cause of a united Europe” and since the days<br />

of the Kennedy Administration has spoken of “equal partnership.” (Brzezinski, 1997)<br />

Brzezinski explains that Europe is America’s natural ally since Europeans and Americans share a<br />

common religious heritage, democratic politics and ancestral roots. Europe is America’s essential<br />

geopolitical bridgehead on the Eurasian continent. European nations highly depend on U.S. military<br />

protection. As a result, as Europe expands, so does the influence of the United States.<br />

Brzezinski, currently the foreign policy advisor to 2008 Democratic Presidential candidate Barack<br />

Hussein Obama (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zbigniew_Brzezinski), describes the unique global<br />

hegemony of the United States in the following terms. His description bears a striking similarity to<br />

Daniels’ prophetic description of the fourth and final kingdom of the beast.<br />

1. “only truly global power” 5<br />

2. “the scope and pervasiveness of American global power today are unique. Not only does the<br />

United States control all of the world’s oceans and seas, but it has developed an assertive<br />

military capability for amphibious shore control that enables it to project its power inland in<br />

politically significant ways. Its military legions are firmly perched on the western and eastern<br />

extremities of Eurasia and they also control the Persian Gulf.” 6<br />

3. “a technologically peerless military establishment, the only one with effective global reach” 7<br />

4. “maintained a strong competitive advantage in the economically decisive information<br />

technologies.” 8<br />

5. “American global power is exercised through a global system of distinctively American<br />

design that mirrors the domestic American experience. “ 9<br />

6. “the American global system emphasizes the technique of co-optation…drawing much<br />

benefit from the appeal of its democratic principles and institutions…reinforced by the<br />

massive but intangible impact of the American domination of global communications,<br />

popular entertainment, and mass culture and by the potentially very tangible clout of<br />

America’s technological edge and global military reach.” 10<br />

7. “America stands at the center of an interlocking universe, even though that power originates<br />

ultimately from a single source, namely, Washington, D.C. and that is where the power game<br />

has to be played, and played according to America’s domestic rules.” 11<br />

8. “American supremacy has thus produced a new international order that not only replicates<br />

but institutionalizes abroad many of the features of the American system itself. Its basic<br />

features include<br />

a collective security system, including integrated command and forces (NATO, …)<br />

regional economic cooperation (APEC, NAFTA, World Bank, IMF, WTO)<br />

procedures which emphasize consensual decision making even if dominated by the United<br />

States<br />

a preference for democratic membership within key alliances” 12<br />

9. “American hegemony involves the exercise of decisive influence but, unlike the empires of the<br />

past, not of direct control.” 13<br />

10. “Never before has a populist democracy attained international supremacy.” 14<br />

11. “Last truly global superpower.” 15<br />

In the first article, Petras explains the United States use of “divide and conquer” strategy in<br />

projecting her power and image globally in the following two articles. Such strategy parallels the<br />

military strategy of the fourth beast of Daniel 7 and Revelation 13 and the two-horned beast/little<br />

horn/mouth of the fourth beast.<br />

“In recent decades, the US empire builders have become the grand masters of ‘divide and conquer’ strategies throughout<br />

the world. By the 1970’s, the CIA made a turn from promoting the dubious virtues of capitalism and democracy, to<br />

linking up with, financing and directing, religious, ethnic and regional elites against national regimes, independent or<br />

hostile to US world empire building.<br />

The key to US military empire building follows two principles: direct military invasions and fomenting separatist<br />

movements, which can lead to military confrontation.<br />

Consistent with traditional empire building principles, Washington only supports separatists in countries that refuse to<br />

submit to imperial domination and opposes separatists who resist the empire and its allies. In other words,<br />

Twenty-first century empire building has seen the extended practice of both principles in Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran,<br />

Lebanon, China (Tibet), Bolivia, Ecuador, Venezuela, Somalia, Sudan, Burma and Palestine – any country in<br />

which the US cannot secure a stable client regime, it resorts to financing and promoting separatist organizations and<br />

leaders using ethnic, religious and regional pretexts.<br />

Imperial ideologues are neither ‘hypocrites’ nor resort to ‘double standards’ (as they are accused by liberal critics) – they<br />

publicly uphold the ‘Empire first’ principle as their defining criteria for evaluating separatist movements and granting<br />

or denying support. In contrast, many seemingly progressive critics of empire make universal statements in favor of the<br />

‘right to self-determination’ and even extend it to the most rancid, reactionary, imperial-sponsored ‘separatist groups’<br />

with catastrophic results. Independent nations and their people, who oppose US-backed separatists, are bombed to<br />

oblivion and charged with ‘war crimes’. People, who oppose the separatists and who reside in the ‘new state’, are killed<br />

or driven into exile. The ‘liberated people’ suffer from the tyranny and impoverishment induced by the US-backed<br />

separatists and many are forced to immigrate to other countries for economic survival.”<br />

(http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=9246)<br />

http://petras.lahaine.org/articulo.php?p=1738&more=1&c=1<br />

In the next article, Petras shows how the imperialist United States fabricates pretexts to justify the<br />

use of force against foreign nations.<br />

“The task of imperial rulers is to fabricate a world in which the enemy to be attacked (an emerging imperial power like<br />

Japan) is portrayed as an ‘invader’ or an ‘aggressor’ in the case of revolutionary movements (Korean and Indo-Chinese<br />

communists) engaged in a civil war against an imperial client ruler or a ‘terrorist conspiracy’ linked to an antiimperialist,<br />

anti-colonial Islamic movements and secular states. Imperialist-democracies in the past did not need to<br />

consult or secure mass support for their expansionist wars; they relied on volunteer armies, mercenaries and colonial<br />

subjects led and directed by colonial officers. Only with the confluence of imperialism, electoral politics and total war did<br />

the need arise to secure not only consent, but also enthusiasm, to facilitate mass recruitment and obligatory conscription.<br />

Since all US imperial wars are fought ‘overseas’ – far from any immediate threats, attacks or invasions - -US<br />

imperial rulers have the special task of making the ‘causus bellicus’ immediate, ‘dramatic’ and self-righteously<br />

‘defensive’.<br />

To this end US Presidents have created circumstances, fabricated incidents and acted in complicity with their enemies,<br />

to incite the bellicose temperament of the masses in favor of war.<br />

The pretext for wars are acts of provocation which set in motion a series of counter-moves by the enemy, which are then<br />

used to justify an imperial mass military mobilization leading to and legitimizing war.


State ‘provocations’ require uniform mass media complicity in the lead-up to open warfare: Namely the portrayal of the<br />

imperial country as a victim of its own over-trusting innocence and good intentions. All four major US imperial wars<br />

over the past 67 years resorted to a provocation, a pretext, and systematic, high intensity mass media propaganda to<br />

mobilize the masses for war. An army of academics, journalists, mass media pundits and experts ‘soften up’ the public<br />

in preparation for war through demonological writing and commentary: Each and every aspect of the forthcoming<br />

military target is described as totally evil – hence ‘totalitarian’ - in which even the most benign policy is linked to<br />

demonic ends of the regime.<br />

Since the ‘enemy to be’ lacks any saving graces and worst, since the ‘totalitarian state’ controls everything and<br />

everybody, no process of internal reform or change is possible. Hence the defeat of ‘total evil’ can only take place through<br />

‘total war’. The targeted state and people must be destroyed in order to be redeemed. In a word, the imperial democracy<br />

must regiment and convert itself into a military juggernaut based on mass complicity with imperial war crimes. The war<br />

against ‘totalitarianism’ becomes the vehicle for total state control for an imperial war.<br />

In the case of the US-Japanese war, the US-Korean war, the US-Indochinese war and the post-September 11 war<br />

against an independent secular nationalist regime (Iraq) and the Islamic Afghan republic, the Executive branch (with<br />

the uniform support of the mass media and congress) provoked a hostile response from its target and fabricated a<br />

pretext as a basis for mass mobilization for prolonged and bloody wars.”<br />

(http://petras.lahaine.org/articulo.php?p=1735&more=1&c=1)<br />

Such deceit and lying fits with the lying serpent speak of the two-horned beast; the little horn;<br />

Antichrist; the mouth of the beast kingdom of Revelation 13:1 and Daniel 7:7. It also aligns with the<br />

prophecies of Revelation 13:13-14 and 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12 which teach us that Antichrist will<br />

make fire come down from heaven and use startling, imposing, amazing lies to deceive the masses<br />

into thinking his evil was good.<br />

The fourth kingdom of Daniel 7 also aligns well with the future role of the U.S. foreseen by Jim<br />

Garrison, president of the State of The World Forum.<br />

As mentioned in Chapter 4, Garrison depicts America’s responsibility as the guarantor of global<br />

security needed to lead the nations into the next iteration of global governance, a new form of<br />

democracy he terms network governance, in which the world is united as a single matrix. 16<br />

Concluding, when we examine the scriptures against the current roles of the EU and US in world<br />

politics, we see that it’s the United States, not the EU that currently bears a striking similarity to the<br />

description of the fourth kingdom of Daniel 7 and Revelation 13:1.<br />

The next chapter will consider the prophetic implications of the relationship of both the U.S. and<br />

the EU with Israel in possibly fulfilling President Bush’s Roadmap to Peace vision of independent<br />

Palestinian and Israeli states living side-by-side in peace and security.<br />

Introduction<br />

Chapter 6<br />

EU, US, Israel & Daniel’s 70 th Week<br />

This chapter considers the relationship of the United States and the European Union with Israel in<br />

light of President Bush’s Roadmap to Peace vision and biblical prophecy.<br />

Chapter 4 showed that the United States, not the European Union, is currently planned to be the<br />

world’s military Leviathan waging war spreading globalization.<br />

This chapter reveals the possibility that the raw force of the American Leviathan military force may<br />

be applied to apparently resolve the Palestinian Arab-Israeli en route to the fulfillment of many<br />

biblical prophecies related to the final seven years before the second coming of the Lord Jesus<br />

Christ.<br />

Cooperation on the Middle East Roadmap to Peace<br />

Regarding the Middle East, Zbigniew Brzezinski observes that it’s possible that fervent advocates of<br />

democracy in the Middle East are promoting democracy as a subversive tool of destabilization<br />

which is being used to produce extremism knowing that the ensuing chaos will eventually justify the<br />

imposition of raw force once the democratic experiment is considered a failure. 1<br />

Are we seeing the stage being set for a future invasion of Israel by raw force as part of the overall<br />

global war against terrorism? If in fact we are, it’s the United States, not EU armed forces that have<br />

been positioned to impose raw force upon the Middle East.<br />

Thomas P.M. Barnett is certain an invasion of Israel by the raw force of the United States military<br />

Leviathan is on the future horizon as he states:<br />

“…the mess America will find itself managing in the Middle East alone will effectively transform our military into<br />

what it needs to become to play Leviathan to the Gap as a whole. I do not cite this as a possibility; I mean it as a<br />

virtual certainty.” 2<br />

Before addressing the Middle East peace issue further, consider what Mr. Barnett is communicating<br />

here in light of biblical prophecy and the global war on terror.<br />

The Gap, as defined by military advisors like Thomas P.M. Barnett, is regions of the world that are<br />

largely disconnected from the global economy. Barnett says George W. Bush “has set a showdown<br />

between the forces of connectedness and disconnectedness in our world.” 3 Disconnectedness is defined<br />

1 Zbigniew Brzezinski, Second Chance, Perseus Books, NY, 2007, pg. 155.<br />

2 Thomas P.M. Barnett, The Ps centagon’s New Map, Penguin Group, USA, 2004, pg. 283.<br />

as opposition to the process of globalization; the worldwide integration and increasing flows of<br />

trade, capital, ideas, and people. 4 Disconnectedness is the opposite of functioning within<br />

globalization. 5 In basic terms, globalization is the spread of the global economy. Connectivity is the<br />

opposite of disconnectedness. According to Barnett, “disconnectedness is the ultimate enemy” in<br />

the global war on terror, and once the United States has “named our enemies, we will invariably<br />

wage war, unleashing the death and destruction that come with it.” 6<br />

Globalization in biblical prophecy<br />

In biblical terms, globalization is the construction process required to establish the fourth kingdom of<br />

Daniel; the blasphemous beast kingdom of Revelation 13:1 complete with its global economic<br />

system and interoperable global ID mark. This mark will be required for every individual<br />

participating in the beast’s global economy. (Daniel 7:7-28, Revelation 13) This fourth kingdom is<br />

also called the little horn and it will led by another beast called the false prophet otherwise known in<br />

New Testament scripture as the man of sin; that Wicked; antichrist. (Daniel 7:7, 8, 19-21; 2<br />

Thessalonians 2:8-12; Revelation 16:13; Revelation 19:20; Revelation 20:10)<br />

Erasing disconnectedness, according to strategic military advisers such as Barnett, is the defining<br />

security task of our age. He bluntly states:<br />

“the global war on terror is all about connectivity” 7<br />

“the goals of winning the war on terrorism and expanding globalization are two sides of the<br />

same coin” 8<br />

The war on terror is “today’s brutal means to a future worth creating: a Middle East that’s<br />

reconnected to the world.” 9<br />

Barnett also teaches that the global war on terror isn’t primarily a war against nations. This war is<br />

about “processing individual terrorists” because everyone needs to play by the Core’s emerging<br />

rules”. 10 He makes the ongoing blasphemous beast-like mission of the U.S. military very clear in<br />

frank words such as:<br />

“what we in today is primarily warfare against individuals;”<br />

“think about our likely targets in years to come-individuals all”<br />

The “hit-list” on the war on terror is composed of those “who’ve declared war on<br />

globalization’s creeping advance” 11 .<br />

The U.S. “offers no truces to the determined forces of disconnectedness, for they have no<br />

future in our shared world, our global community. These individuals are slated for<br />

extinction…” 12 “This is a new type of war (for us, at least) against a new type of enemy (the<br />

Man with No State) 13 .<br />

The global war on terror will involve mandatory “marking” of integrating<br />

individuals and killing of non-integrating “un-marked” individuals<br />

Thomas Barnett heartlessly admits that when the U.S. “can’t bag them, then we’ll seek to tag them”<br />

using technologies to “identify, locate and track “targets of interest””. Concerning tagging targeted<br />

terrorists Barnett suggests that “maybe these tiny transmitters or other tags would be planted on<br />

their physical persons (or even in their bodies)” so they can be detected later and tracked by<br />

“counterterrorism sensor networks” led by law enforcement agencies inside the Core. 14<br />

As Jesus said many times to underscore the importance of his words; “he who has ears let him<br />

here”: I beg you passionately my beloved brothers and sisters in Christ- put away the 501-c3 idolatry,<br />

demonic media deception and wake up to the truth concerning this fallen nation if you haven’t<br />

already!<br />

Based upon military and law enforcement plans in light of the prophetic word of God contained in<br />

Revelation 13:11-18, I warn not on the basis of tin foiled conspiracy theory, but on the firm basis of<br />

biblical fact:<br />

If the United States led global “war on terror” proceeds according to plan, the<br />

endgame of this battle will include “war with the saints.” (Revelation 13:7)<br />

If you don’t yet believe in biblical prophecy as truth, and the Lord Jesus Christ as your Messiah, why<br />

don’t you take some time to consider the odds that the plan for the global war on terror would<br />

coincide so well with the prophecies recorded in the Revelation.<br />

Then, take some more time and consider the personal cost of giving up control of your life to the<br />

invisible power of the Lord Jesus Christ through faith in his holy truth. If you’ve then decided you’re<br />

ready to courageously line up under the supreme authority of the Lord Jesus Christ and his holy<br />

truth rather than a leader of a beast nation, take the next logical step: turn away from all you know to<br />

be wrong, admit you’re a sinner that can’t be saved apart from the work of a Holy God and receive<br />

the Lord Jesus Christ for who he is-the only true God and Lord of all whose word recorded in<br />

scripture provides us the only lasting truth, hope, comfort, and wisdom.<br />

The blessed multitudes who will obey the commandments of God through faith in the Lord Jesus<br />

Christ will someday refuse to cooperate with the global system and will be killed as non-integrating<br />

enemy combatants of the state or “terrorists” for refusing to use the interoperable global ID mark<br />

Big Bang orchestrated in Middle East by America in advance of 911<br />

Returning to Thomas Barnett’s assertion that America will impose its Leviathan military force upon<br />

the Middle East at some point in the future, consider that Barnett has admitted that America<br />

orchestrated, long in advance of 9/11/2001, a “Big Bang” invasion of the Middle East in order to<br />

shrink the Gap in one fell swoop having pre-selected the spring of 2003 to launch the Big Bang. 15<br />

It was previously stated that the Gap is defined as regions of the world that are largely disconnected<br />

from the global economy. Mr. Barnett candidly informs us that strategy of the Big Bang in the<br />

Middle East wasn’t intended to be a rapid road to democratic peace, “but about speeding the killing<br />

to its logical conclusion.” 16<br />

If you think that the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq under the guise of the war on terror aren’t<br />

part of a larger Big Bang strategy to increase the integration of the Middle East with the global<br />

economy, consider that Zbigniew Brzezinski documents that “while seeking congressional and U.N.<br />

approval for war in late 2002 and early 2003, Bush, in a confidential discussion with Prime Minister<br />

Tony Blair recorded by Blair’s foreign policy advisor, ac tually to y e d w ith th e id e a o f s tag ing a<br />

d e lib e rate m ilitary p ro vo c atio n in order to precipitate a casus belli. For a president, even to raise<br />

such a notion is to skate on thin legal ice.” 17 Increased profits justify murderous manipulation in the<br />

evil, conspiratorial minds of the kings of the earth.<br />

What do military strategic planners have to say about the role that the United States could play in<br />

temporarily resolving the Arab-Israeli conflict? In a scenario Thomas P.M. Barnett calls the New<br />

Berlin Wall, he envisions a physical divorce between Israel and the West bank plus Gaza as the most<br />

likely route toward lasting peace. He sees America resolving potential conflict at the border wall<br />

between Israel and Palestine by exporting security to this border wall in a “long-term peacekeeping<br />

mission along this barrier, effectively walling off Israel from Palestine.” 18<br />

Barnett’s barrier is reminiscent of the abomination of desolation spoken of Daniel and the Lord Jesus<br />

Christ in the context of great tribulation and is biblically defined as the surrounding of Antichrist’s<br />

armies around Jerusalem. This definition is found by studying the parallel accounts regarding<br />

Jesus’ teaching on the abomination of desolation and noticing the slight variation of Luke 21:20<br />

compared to Matthew 24:15 and Mark 13:9. Daniel 11:31-12:1 also shed light on this topic.<br />

According to the scriptures related to the abomination of desolation, Gentile armies commanded by<br />

Antichrist will bring great distress and wrath upon the land of Israel during this time of great<br />

tribulation. Many occupying the land of Israel at that time will be conquered and taken hostage to<br />

foreign nations as the scriptures below reveal.<br />

Wh e n y e th e re fo re s h all s e e th e ab o m in atio n o f d e s o latio n , spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso<br />

readeth, let him understand:) Then let them which be in Judea flee into the mountains: Let him which is on the housetop not c ome down to<br />

take any thing out of his house: Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes. <strong>And</strong> woe unto them that are with child,<br />

and to them that give suck in those days! But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day: Fo r th e n s h all b e<br />

house, neither enter therein, to take any thing out of his house: <strong>And</strong> let him that is in the field not turn back again for to take up his garment.<br />

According to the scriptures we just read, great tribulation begins at the time the abomination of<br />

desolation is set up.<br />

Interestingly, former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher has written that “The United Statesnot<br />

the United Nations or the Europeans-is the only credible outside peacemaker” between Israel<br />

and the many. 19<br />

It’s critical to any study regarding antichrist and the day of the Lord to note that the prophets<br />

depicted antichrist as being responsible for dividing the land of Israel in the last days and that<br />

division of the land for economic gain would result in bringing God’s wrath upon a world that chose<br />

to integrate into antichrist’s global economic rule set. (Isaiah 10:13; Daniel 11:39; Micah 2:4; Joel 3:2;<br />

Zechariah 14:1-2; Revelation 13:11-18; Revelation 19:11-21)<br />

In the mean time, the programmers are busy selling us on the possibility that in 2008 U.S. President<br />

George W. Bush will broker peace between Israel and Palestine as a part of the EU, U.S., UN and<br />

Russian Performance Based Roadmap to Peace. This plan is otherwise known as Bush’s Roadmap<br />

Vision emphasizing the primary role of President Bush as visionary peace broker. Excerpts from the<br />

introduction of this performance based roadmap are shown below. Note the cooperation of the<br />

U.S., EU, Russia and the UN on Roadmap implementation.<br />

The following is a performance-based and goal-driven roadmap, with clear<br />

Phases, timelines, target dates, and benchmarks aiming at progress through reciprocal<br />

Steps by the two parties in the political, security, economic, humanitarian, and<br />

Institution-building fields, under the auspices of the Quartet. The destination is a final<br />

and comprehensive settlement of the Israel-Palestinian conflict by 2005, as presented in<br />

President Bush’s speech of 24 June, and welcomed by the EU, Russia and the UN in the<br />

16 July and 17 September Quartet Ministerial statements….<br />

The Quartet will assist and facilitate implementation of the plan, starting in Phase I,<br />

including direct discussions between the parties as required….<br />

A settlement, negotiated between the parties, will result in the emergence of an<br />

independent, democratic, and viable Palestinian state living side by side in peace and<br />

security with Israel and its other neighbors. The settlement will resolve the Israel-<br />

Confusion ahead for pre-tribulation rapture believers<br />

Modern pre-tribulation rapture bible teachers have taught for decades that the coming Antichrist<br />

would be the political leader who would broker a peace settlement between Israel and the Palestinian<br />

Arabs at the start of Daniel’s 70 th week. The 70 th week is the final 7 year period following the rapture<br />

of the church and prior to the return of the Lord Jesus Christ in glory to destroy the kingdom of<br />

Antichrist.<br />

The excerpts below from mainstream biblical eschatology authorities illustrate this well:<br />

“The actual event inaugurating the Tribulation is found in Daniel 9:27 when the Antichrist, “the prince that shall<br />

come,” makes a covenant with Israel for seven years. …It may be that when Christ raptures the Church, the<br />

Antichrist will make a covenant with Israel the next day, the next week, or who knows how much later. There are<br />

sufficient signs existing today to indicate that this event could take place soon: … “ 20 (Dr. Tim LaHaye, 1973)<br />

“All signs point to the necessity of a coming peace settlement in the Middle East. …In Israel, changing internal<br />

politics may demand some demobilization of the military and dependence on outside guarantees for Israel’s security.<br />

The U.S. will be reluctant to give such guarantees which might cause another military involvement overseas. The<br />

international political leader who can give Israel these guarantees and force dissident Arab factions to accept a final<br />

peace will gain world recognition overnight. A peace settlement is one of the most important events predicted for the end<br />

time. The signing of this peace treaty will start the final countdown leading to Armageddon and then introduce the new<br />

world leader who will be destined to become world dictator-the infamous Antichrist. According to Daniel 9:27 the last<br />

20 Dr. Tim LaHaye, Revelation, Zondervan Publishing House, Grand Rapids, Michigan, 1973, Pg. 96 .


seven years leading up to the second coming of Christ will begin with just such a peace settlement….Before the<br />

emergence of this world leader, the promise of Christ to come for his church will be fulfilled. ….” 21 (John F. Walvoord,<br />

Chancellor Dallas Theological Seminary, 1974)<br />

“However, it is important to keep in mind that Antichrist will not be revealed until after the rapture…. Actually the<br />

Tribulation Period will begin with a public appearance of Antichrist when he participates in the making of a<br />

significant seven year Middle East peace pact. (Daniel 9:27) …With Antichrist finally able to bring peace to the<br />

Middle East; at least a semblance of peace … his popularity will soar! Imagine if today some great personage would<br />

rise and almost overnight resolve the Arab-Israel crisis to the satisfaction of everyone….what a triumphal victory for<br />

the negotiator! That’s what Antichrist will be able to achieve. He will be a brilliant diplomat but also a superb<br />

strategist in the art of war.” 22 (Salem Kirban, 1981)<br />

“The final seven years, or the Seventieth Week of Daniel as some call it, begins with the signing of a protective treaty<br />

between Israel and the Antichrist…” 23 (Hal Lindsay, 1983)<br />

“In conclusion I want to point out that in the closing moments of this present age, just as World War III appears<br />

inevitable, a great leader will come to international prominence proclaiming, “Peace, Peace!”. He will jet from one<br />

nation to another negotiating his proposals, and ultimately establish contracts between Israel and other countries.<br />

(Daniel 9) …Wait! Before this one can come to power, before he can exercise full sway in bringing this false 3 ½ year<br />

peace, we Christians must be gone.” 24 (Dr. Jack Van Impe, 1983)<br />

“Therefore when Antichrist appears (there’s a vacuum being created right now for his 25 appearance) and promises peace<br />

and produces peace, the world will go after him. <strong>And</strong> if that man appeared today in Western Europe, for that is where<br />

he will appear first, they will not ask whether he came from heaven or hell. They won’t care where he comes from if he<br />

will just bring peace. So the first half of the Tribulation, a period of three and a half years, I think will be a time of<br />

peace, a false peace by the Antichrist. They are going to have a real summit conference in that day. The Antichrist will<br />

be there and whoever is ruling Russia at that time will participate.” 26 (Dr. J. Vernon McGee, 1993)<br />

“The prophecy of Daniel 9:27 tells us about the final seven years of the Antichrist’s rule. “Then he shall confirm a<br />

covenant with many for one week: but in the middle of the week He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering…..<br />

The proceeding verse, Daniel 9:26, described the identity of the one who will make a seven-year covenant or treaty with<br />

the “many,” the Jews who have returned from exile to establish the state of Israel.” (Grant R. Jeffrey, 1995)<br />

Desperate for peace and ignorant of Antichrist’s true nature; Israel will soon sign a seven year treaty of peace with the<br />

Antichrist. In fact, the signing of the treaty is the event that will inaugurate the seven year tribulation. In this treaty<br />

the Antichrist himself will guarantee Israel’s security.” 27 (Dr. John Hagee Pastor of Cornerstone Church, San<br />

Antonio, Texas, 1996)<br />

Daniel 9:27: “These seven years constitute the 70 th week of Daniel, he shall confirm. “He” is the last-mentioned<br />

prince (v. 26), leader of the Roman sphere (cf. chaps 2 and 7), the Antichrist who comes in the latter days. The time is<br />

in the future tribulation period of “one week” i.e., the final seven years of v.24. He confirms (lit. causes to prevail) a<br />

seven year covenant, his own pact with Israel for what will turn out actually to be a shorter time. The leader of this<br />

covenant is the “little horn”… (Dr. John MacArthur, The MacArthur Study Bible, 1997)<br />

“Could it be possible that any “final solution” to the current Middle East crisis will need to be brokered by an outside<br />

power who will be willing to “guarantee” Israel’s security while Israel and her Arab neighbors implement the treaty?<br />

Could the agreement be a peace treaty designed to normalize relations between Israel and her Arab neighbors over a<br />

seven year period with some type of international peace-keeping force guaranteeing secure borders? …Daniel 9 gives the<br />

first clue by which the Antichrist can be clearly identified. The world will not know who the Antichrist is until “he<br />

will confirm a covenant with many for one seven. (Daniel 9:27). When the world gets its first glimpse of the<br />

Antichrist, he will be in the role of peacemaker. Obviously he will have risen to power earlier so he can make such an<br />

agreement, but this is the first time when he will be clearly identified to the world. … What is this covenant that<br />

Antichrist will make with Israel? ...Very likely the covenant will allow Israel to be at peace with her Arab<br />

neighbors…. This world ruler will succeed where Kissinger, Carter, Reagan, Bush and other world leaders have<br />

failed.” 28 (Dr. Charles H. Dyer, Dallas Theological Seminary, 1998)<br />

“”The first clue in scripture about the identity of Antichrist is found in Daniel 9:27, where he is pictured brokering a<br />

peace treaty with Israel.” … “The Antichrist will come with the olive branch in his hand. He will come on the scene<br />

and accomplish what was considered impossible: He will solve the Middle Eastern peace puzzle and rid the world of<br />

terrorism.”” 29 (Mark Hitchcock, 2002)<br />

Costly decisions facing pre-tribulation rapture believers<br />

If President George W. Bush or another U.S. president is elevated to success in the new<br />

international order and presented to us as the visionary broker of peace in the Middle East; any<br />

thinking pre-tribulation rapture believer in support of the President and American foreign policy<br />

face a difficult and confusing moral dilemma scripted and directed by Satan.<br />

If a pre-tribulation rapture believer is alive to witness the historic brokering of a Middle East Peace<br />

by President Bush or a successor, according to their own definition of recognizing Antichrist, they<br />

should believe they’re witnessing Antichrist as peace broker disguised as the POTUS. They should<br />

also believe that they were “left behind” in the rapture because their prophetic paradigm, the false<br />

pre-tribulation rapture doctrine, teaches that they can’t be here when Antichrist is revealed. As a<br />

result, they will have some hard choices to make quickly if they are to act in line with their doctrinal<br />

beliefs concerning Antichrist and Daniel’s 70 th week:<br />

Will they teach submission to the government of Antichrist and support of his public policy?<br />

Will they humbly and repentantly renounce pre-tribulation rapture doctrine, or will they<br />

continue to teach the pre-tribulation doctrine dismissing the event as some event other than<br />

the covenant of Daniel 9:27?<br />

Will they renounce 501-c3 tax exempt status if they can’t support U.S. public policy under<br />

one they should consider to be Antichrist?<br />

Will they receive 501-c3 benefits fraudulently if they can’t support his public policy?<br />

Thinking pre-tribulation rapture believers will be faced with these choices because their doctrinal<br />

paradigm teaches them that “the rapture” must occur before Antichrist can be revealed publicly.<br />

They believe that if they’re here, Antichrist can’t be! What a prescription for deception!<br />

There will be no excuse for being deceived as Jesus and Paul both warned us of the dangers of<br />

teaching the imminent return of the Lord Jesus Christ. The fact that we are specifically warned<br />

against believing this false doctrine underscores how important believing the truth about the timing<br />

of the second coming of the Lord must be!<br />

Luk 21:8 <strong>And</strong> G1161 he G3588 said, G2036 Take heed G991 that ye be not G3361 deceived: G4105 for G1063<br />

draweth near: G1448 G1448 ἐγγίζω eggizō eng-id'-zo<br />

From G1451; to make near, that is, (reflexively) approach: - approach, be at hand, come<br />

(draw) near, be (come, draw) nigh.<br />

near; appearing as if about to fall on. (Webster 1828)<br />

Jesus warned us to beware of those that come in his name telling us the time is near (Luke 21:8)<br />

Paul warned of those that teach that the coming of the Lord is imminent before Antichrist is<br />

revealed (2 Thessalonians 2:1-3)


2Th 2:1 Now G1161 we beseech G2065 you, G5209 brethren, G80 by G5228 the G3588 coming G3952 of<br />

our G2257 Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ, G5547 and G2532 by our G2257 gathering together G1997<br />

unto G1909 him, G846<br />

2Th 2:2 That ye G5209 be not G3361 soon G5030 shaken G4531 in G575 mind, G3563 or G3383 be troubled, G2360<br />

neither G3383 by G1223 spirit, G4151 nor G3383 by G1223 word, G3056 nor G3383 by G1223 letter G1992 as G5613<br />

from G1223 us, G2257 as that G3754 the G3588 day G2250 of Christ G5547 is at hand. G1764 .<br />

2Th 2:3 Let no G3361 man G5100 deceive G1818 you G5209 by G2596 any G3367 means: G5158 for G3754 that day<br />

shall not come, except G3362 there come G2064 a falling away G646 first, G4412 and G2532 that man G444<br />

of sin G266 be revealed, G601 the G3588 son G5207 of perdition; G684<br />

is at hand. G1764 : G1764 ἐνίστημι enistēmi Thayer Definition:<br />

1) to place in or among, to put in<br />

2) to be upon, impend, threaten<br />

3) close at hand<br />

4) present<br />

Imminent: Literally, shooting over; hence, hanging over; impending; threatening;<br />

near; appearing as if about to fall on. (Webster 1828)<br />

When Antichrist is revealed, if 501-c3 churches which are whorishly incorporated under corporate<br />

law exist at that time in their current form, they will be legally required to support his public policies<br />

in exchange for tax-exempt status.<br />

How will 501-c3 churches misconstruing Romans 13 to teach that believers shouldn’t criticize public<br />

policy or confront government corruption justify honoring the beast and supporting his destructive,<br />

deceitful, blasphemous public policies?<br />

This chapter has shown again that it’s the U.S., not the EU that is being planned to fulfill the roles<br />

that pre-tribulation rapture teachers have predicted for Antichrist.<br />

Chapter 7 will summarize this work, presenting some practical applications of its truths and<br />

concluding with a final response to the question of whether or not 911 is an omen indicating that<br />

the day of the Lord is at hand.
