“And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there
was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the
moon became as blood; And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig
tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. And the
heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and
island were moved out of their places. And the kings of the earth, and the great
men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every
bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the
mountains; And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the
face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: For the
great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to
stand?”
Revelation 6:12-17
“And the sixth angel sounded,
and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,
Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are
bound in the great river Euphrates. And the four angels were loosed, which were
prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third
part of men.”
Revelation 9:13-15
“And the sixth angel
poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was
dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared. And I saw
three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of
the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. For they are
the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the
earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of
God Almighty. Behold, I come as a thief, Blessed is he that watcheth, and
keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. And he
gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue
Armageddon.”
Revelation 16:12-16
In this issue of the Last Trumpet Newsletter, we
will look closely at the time in which we are living and compare the events of
these amazing times with the Word of Almighty God. As we will see in this
newsletter, there has never been a time such as this, as we are racing across
the final calibrations of the time line with eternity being just ahead. We know
that the book of Revelation was given to us to reveal events and conditions of
the last days, and the metaphor that it is written in gives us clear warnings
regarding the last days.
In Revelation 1:1 we are given the key to
understanding the entire book, as we are told that the events of the book would
shortly come to pass and that the book was signified to John. To signify means
to show by signs, and the word “shortly” would indicate that the fulfillment of
this book started soon after it was written. The book of Revelation is a book of
signs, and thus, we remember the words of the Lord Jesus in Mark 13:37 when He
said, “And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.”
As we read the
book of Revelation, we find that a scroll is opened as the Lamb breaks seven
seals to reveal what is written regarding the end of the world. At the end of
the seals is finality and the entrance into eternity. Later, we read of seven
trumpets and seven vials. These are clearly two different views of the same
events from two different vantage points: heaven and earth. Thus, the trumpets
and vials do not run consecutively but rather concurrently. The final events
come together at the time of the sixth seal, and the last of the last days seem
to begin at the time of the sixth trumpet and sixth vial. In both cases, the
river Euphrates is mentioned, and can any thinking person doubt that the current
intrigue going on in that ancient land is fulfilling what the Scripture has told
us so long ago? Are we indeed living during the time of the 6th seal, the 6th
trumpet and the 6th vial? Is it during this strange and unique time when the
three sixes of God’s judgment meet that the final antichrist will be revealed, a
man whose name brings forth the number 666? Are we now at that very
time?
One sign that is given at the time of the sixth trumpet and
sixth vial is the sign of the Euphrates River being dried up to prepare the way
for the kings of the East. This does not mean that the water of the river
disappears, but rather the boundary between East and West is removed. The
Euphrates has always been the historic boundary between East and West, between
the Orientals and Occidentals. Thus, during the time of the turmoil in the land
of the Euphrates or modern-day Iraq, the western world would begin to fill up
with people from the East or Orient. This is a sure sign of the last days. This
is the time of the signs, and never has there been a more urgent time for
watching and praying!
Final Warnings and a
Call to Repent!
I recently received a wonderful and
informative letter from a medical doctor who has been watching and praying and
doing research on the events of these last days. This doctor began to record
major events in recent days and noticed a definite pattern as the events were
evenly spaced and getting closer together. He then referred to I Thessalonians
5:3 which says, “For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden
destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall
not escape.” This doctor is very familiar with women in travail or labor as they
are about to deliver a child, and since God compared the last days leading up to
the coming of the Lord with this process of labor, the doctor began to compare
current events to a woman in labor. If the current pattern continues, it will
come to a conclusion with the revealing of the antichrist on the sixth day of
the sixth month of the year 2006 or 6-6-06. Time will tell.
I often
marvel at how the news media is so completely managed in the United States. We
have learned from mainstream news sources overseas that a volcanic eruption in
the Canary Islands is imminent, and the tidal wave from the collapse of the
entire western flank of the volcano will send a wall of water or tidal wave over
300 feet high against our entire eastern seaboard. Bill McGuire, the director of
University College London Benfield Hazard Research Centre said, “Boston, New
York, Washington D.C., and Miami would be wiped off the map.” The professor also
stated that the wall of water would be moving at a speed of nearly 500 miles per
hour, the speed of a jetliner. Dr McGuire also said, “This is a certain event.
It’s a matter of how we cope with it, not whether or not it is going to happen.
We are talking about very serious damage. It’s a h - - - of a situation to be in
and I don’t know how we are going to get around it. The U.S. Government must be
aware of the threat but I am sure they are not taking it seriously. They
certainly should be worried.” (1) Dr. McGuire also pointed out that this volcano
known as the Cumbra Vieja Volcano is overdue for a major
eruption.
We also have an eye-witness report from the northern
reaches of our troubled planet. Dirk Dunning submitted the following report: “I
am stunned almost to speechlessness. The Northeast Passage across the Siberian
polar ice is open. The glaciers on Ellesmere Island and the northern and
northeastern shores of Greenland are collapsing within a matter of days. The
channel between Greenland and Ellesmere Island is open…..vast stretches of polar
ice are pulverized and floating free in the Arctic Ocean. An immense rent has
formed in the ice north of Queen Victoria Island. An even larger tear reaches
from Siberia poking at the North Pole itself. The entire north shore of Alaska
is ice-free as is all of the northern Siberian shore. In short, the North Pole
is falling apart……This is one of the most astounding events in all of human
history. And where is it on the news?”
In a similar story, AFP news
reported the following: “Residents of llulissat most of whom live off of shrimp
and halibut fishing as well as the all-important tourism industry, nearly choked
on their morning coffee when The Groenlands Posten newspaper described how the
Sermeq Kujalleq glacier, one of the most active glaciers in the world and the
towns biggest tourist attraction, had receded by more than five kilometers (3
miles) in the past two years.” (2)
In the United States, the State of
Florida was recently ripped and shredded by four major hurricanes named Charley,
Frances, Ivan, and Jeanne. This sequence of destruction began on Friday the 13th
day of August, and the devastation was beyond imagination. Time and again,
millions were ordered to evacuate, and many later returned to debris and rubble.
Damage was in the billions of dollars. The people of Florida need our prayers,
as they were battered beyond belief by these monstrous storms. The Kennedy
Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida, was damaged as their vehicle assembly
building was hit by the powerful winds. (3) In some areas every home lost their
roofs, and people were left without electricity, drinking water, and the basic
necessities of life. Highways and bridges were ripped up, and much of the State
of Florida looked like it had been in a war. The hurricanes also spawned
tornadoes, which elongated the disasters. Hurricane Ivan alone spawned 114
tornadoes that caused heavy damage as far north as Pennsylvania, Virginia, and
Maryland. (4) It should be quite obvious that the Lord is telling us something.
In fact, one of our subscribers in Florida sent me a picture of a large
suspended billboard which originally carried the message: “We need to talk.
God.” A new advertisement had covered this message, but Hurricane Charley ripped
the new message from the billboard leaving the original words, “We need to talk
– God.” (5)
Volcanoes around the world are continuing to wake up nearly
all at the same time. Mt. Etna has been blowing gas rings that look exactly like
glowing halos, and it is becoming increasingly active. (6) On September 17th,
2004, Mount Asama in Japan erupted for the 4th straight day. (7) On October 1,
2004, Mt. Bromo in Java rumbled as the residents went there to worship the
“spirit of the mountain.” (8) The Piton de la Fournaise volcano on the French
Island of La Reunion began to erupt on October 1, 2004. (9) In Mexico, the “Fire
Volcano” in Colima state began to burst with lava on October 6th, 2004. (10) In
the State of Washington, Mt. St. Helens has been rumbling and steaming, and on
October 3, 2004, scientists warned that an eruption was imminent.
(11)
Earthquakes continue to happen in all parts of the world just as our
Saviour told us it would be in Matthew, chapter 24, and Luke, chapter 21. On
September 19, 2004, it was reported that a swarm of 70 earthquakes jolted an
area along the California-Nevada border. (12) On September 28, 2004, a strong
earthquake hit California along a 350-mile stretch with a magnitude of 5.0 with
a strong aftershock. (13) There were numerous other quakes around the world in
September, 2004, including a magnitude 6.4 in Manila in the Philippines (14) and
a 4.5 quake in Kaliningrad, Russia, which was also felt in Lithuania and Sweden.
(15) How long will sinful man continue to ignore the continual warnings of
Almighty God?
Spiritual Madness of the
Last Generation!
It is no great wonder that the Almighty is
causing the earth to tremble and shake. Never has there been such a time as this
when spirits of witchcraft and perversion have driven mankind to mock and defy
God. Rebellion against the Almighty Creator is the same everywhere in the world.
The government of Turkey recently withdrew its law banning adultery in order to
be admitted into the European Union. (16) In Massachusetts, National Public
Radio recently aired a program about how instruction in gay-sex techniques is
showing up in public school classes. The radio program featured a lesbian
teacher graphically describing to students the sexual techniques used by gay
partners. In addition to that, activists are designing teacher-guides that will
introduce homosexuality to children in kindergarten. (17)
In South Korea,
the government decided to do a one-month purge against prostitution, which
immediately resulted in countless thousands of these harlots to protest by
wearing masks and marching on Parliament. (18) The spirits of lust also
manifested in Warsaw, Poland, at the Polish erotic fair, where contests were
held that are so vile and evil that I cannot print them in this newsletter.
(19)
In a recent report, Rebecca Collins of the Rand Corporation stated
that sex on television has caused significant numbers of young people between
the ages of 12 and 17 to become fully sexually active. (20) A study should not
be needed to determine that. This society is saturated with perverse spirits. In
California, pornography producers were recently fined, not for producing
pornography but for not showing how to do their perverted acts safely. It was
OSHA, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, that fined the
pornographers for not providing safety in the workplace. (21)
In San
Francisco, California, it is now legal to do naked yoga anywhere on public
streets as long as traffic is not blocked. (22) And if we didn’t have enough
trouble, we have now learned that Proctor and Gamble has developed a sex-patch
for women to wear as an aphrodisiac. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration put
the sex-patch on the fast track on September 21st for quick approval. (23)
(September 21st is the witches’ sabat of Mabon.) Our beloved America is
disgraced by such filth, and we are truly showing the world our shame and
nakedness. I am reminded of the words of the prophet Nahum as found in chapter
3, verses 5 and 6, as follows: “Behold, I am against thee, saith the Lord of
hosts; and I will discover thy skirts upon thy face, and I will show the nations
thy nakedness, and the kingdoms thy shame. And I will cast abominable filth upon
thee, and make thee vile, and I will set thee as a gazingstock.”
I truly
feel sorry for the young children of these last days with such ungodly role
models continually warping their thinking. Recently, Britney Spears had her
second wedding, and the male attendants had the word “pimps” printed on the back
of their clothing. (24) Madonna, who is embracing and promoting the Kabbalah,
has been speaking at functions such as Spirituality for Kids. She recently made
a midnight pilgrimage to a Jerusalem cemetery, holding a mystical candlelit
ceremony at the grave of a Jewish sage. (25) The Kabbalah is Jewish mysticism
and witchcraft. It is rapidly being embraced by much of
Hollywood.
Another reason for Almighty God to manifest His wrath is the
prevalence of homosexuality. France now has an entirely “gay” television station
called “Pink.” The slogan for the station is “Liberty is worth watching.” (26)
In Canada, the homosexuals continue to rise up to higher levels. The Royal Bank
of Canada is now asking their tens of thousands of employees to display a
rainbow triangle on their work desks. It is a part of their “Safe Space
Program.” The rainbow triangle shows that your desk, office, or cubicle is a
safe place for gay men, bisexuals, transgendered, and lesbians. This program is
being promoted in the bank’s online newsletter “Rainbow Space.” (27) The
triangle, of course, represents the pyramid of Illuminism. Here let it be noted
that the Bank of Canada recently put into circulation its new 20 dollar bill. In
the upper right hand corner of the bill are what look like Braille indentations,
even though there is no such Braille pattern. These indentations are arranged
like the number six domino, and there are three sets of them. These bills are
marked with 666 or the number of the beast. The large number 20 on the front of
the bill is filled in with a pattern that looks like a snake skin, and as if
this serpentine design is not bad enough, the back of the bill features numerous
gargoyles and several demonic faces. This is Illuminati witchcraft of the first
magnitude.
Witchcraft! The Power
behind the Perversion!
Witchcraft, like homosexuality, is
completely out of the closet. Halloween, a day that is strictly a witchcraft
sabat, is becoming more important each year as can be seen by the decorations
and activities. Because pusillanimous and cowardly ministers refuse to speak
against Halloween, and because of the saturation of Harry Potter and Lord of the
Rings materials, witchcraft goes unchallenged even in fundamentalist churches.
Our U.S. military now has many thousands of initiated witches in it. A recent
Knight-Ridder article stated, “Wiccans exist in nearly all military branches,
some in top ranks.” The article went on to say that the Pentagon wants to
accommodate the Wiccans and officially recognizes the following types of pagans:
“The Gardnerian Wiccan, Seax Wiccan, Dianic Wiccan, Shaman, and Druid.”
(28)
The United Nations is now planning to change our calendar to
accommodate witchcraft. The new calendar will be brought into being by U.N.
resolution and is to be called “The Thirteen Moon 28-day Calendar of Peace.”
(29) In addition to the new calendar, we also know that Maurice Strong and
Mikhail Gorbachev are working on an agenda to replace the Ten Commandments with
the Earth Charter. Maurice Strong is the Canadian billionaire who was recently
appointed President of the U.N. owned University of Peace. The former Soviet
President Gorbachev is the head of the State of the World Forum and has his
headquarters in the Presidio in San Francisco, California. As we consider all of
this, we must remember what Daniel prophesied regarding the antichrist. In
Daniel 7:25 we read as follows: “And he shall speak great words against the most
High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times
and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the
dividing of time.”
It is becoming ever more obvious that Satan is
working hard and fast to revive and completely rebuild all of his old religions
and to merge them into a one-world religion. The occult power manifested at the
recent Olympics was all a part of the clandestine plot. Now we are seeing the
complete restoration of the ancient Parthenon in Greece. (30) This ancient
temple is vitally important to the Illuminati, because it is a favorite place of
their god “Lucifer.”
Where are the
Christians?
We know that the true church of the Lord
Jesus Christ has victorious power over all the realm of Satan, but in these last
days, something very peculiar is happening that was foretold long ago. In Amos
8:11-12 we read as follows: “Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I
will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water,
but of hearing the words of the Lord: And they shall wander from sea to sea, and
from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of
the Lord, and shall not find it.”
The reason for this spiritual famine is
that churches have chosen social events, idolatry, pagan holidays, rock music,
Harry Potter witchcraft, false “Bibles”, and numerous other kinds of foolishness
and abominable filth. Only a remnant of true believers is left. This small and
discerning remnant continues to fight spiritual battles and to shine forth the
glorious light of the true Gospel of the real Jesus Christ. The apostate
churches of so-called united “Christendom” are so completely void of discernment
that Satan can get away with almost anything. Recently, a new bible has become
popular. It is called The Gospel According to Disney. This false bible teaches
children that prayer is answered by magic, and they are to have “faith, trust,
and pixie dust.” (31)
In Kennesaw, Georgia, a Southern Baptist youth
group meets at Hooters for Bible studies. Hooters is a restaurant chain that
features nearly naked women as waitresses. This “study group” is called “Single
Focus Atlanta” and a Southern Baptist minister, who calls himself “Reverend”
Dennis Rogers, said, “It is something Jesus would have done.” (32)
There
are many other such abominable things going on such as the new “Christian” work
out video called Sweating in the Spirit, which features women in skin-tight
clothing gyrating to songs by “Christian” artists such as Kirk Franklin, Yolanda
Adams, and Shirley Murdock. (33) I am made to wonder how such things would be
regarded by the early Christians, who were killed by lions and were burned at
the stake and suffered many other things for the Gospel. Churches today are
being fed spiritual junk food, including such things as The Prayer of Jabez,
Promise Keepers, The Purpose-Driven Life, and so on. It is one gimmick after
another. The program of The Purpose-Driven Life is nothing more than a spiritual
multi-level marketing plan for souls and involves many new-age principles in its
forty-day program. We must also note that the book, The Purpose-Driven Life by
Rick Warren, has been on the New York Times’ best seller list for 86 consecutive
weeks. (34) This man has made millions of dollars from his new-age book and
undiscerning people clamor for more.
With Halloween, the witches’ sabat
of Samhain, now upon us, the witchcraft in the churches really becomes visible.
The latest craze among nominal “Christians” is the Jesus O’ Lantern, which is a
hollowed out pumpkin with the face of Jesus etched into it. It is done by taking
a picture of a picture of what is supposed to be Jesus and using the negative by
taping it onto the pumpkin. The white areas are etched into the surface. The
children are also instructed to take the negative, stare at it for thirty
seconds, then close their eyes, and then look at a white wall, and they will see
the face of Jesus on the wall. (35)
We know that Halloween is
strictly witchcraft and has nothing at all to do with Christianity. Why has Dr.
James Dobson’s “Focus on the Family” organization recently aired a radio program
featuring two women who are promoting Halloween as a “Christian” holiday? These
women are promoting Halloween and All Saints’ Day by connecting the Christian
martyrs to it. They are saying that Christians should give out the biggest candy
bars and best treats and thus reclaim Halloween for Christianity. (36) Much
could be said about this, but suffice it to say that Halloween was invented by
witches at the behest of Satan himself, and the original meaning of the
Jack-O-Lantern, which was illuminated with a candle made from human tallow, was
to show cooperation with the Druid witches of England. These witches held a
human sacrifice ritual at Stonehenge in England on October 31, involving a huge
bonefire and later called a bonfire. Jeremiah 10:2 warns us to “learn not the
way of the heathen.”
Elections and
Deceptions!
With Election Day upon us, many people are
wondering what to do. We know that the masterminds of the Illuminati conspiracy
will make sure that their choice wins. The only votes of conscience for the
Christians are to be on their knees in prayer. These are times of great
deceptions and people are so easily manipulated. John Kerry recently spoke to
thousands of Baptist ministers and opened with the words, “Through many dangers,
toils, and snares, I have already come.” The thousands of ministers burst into
cheers, and Kerry continued by saying, “’Tis grace hath brought me safe thus
far, and grace will lead me home.” (37) We must never forget that John Kerry,
like George Bush, is a member of secret societies such as the Skull and Bones.
Neither of them renounced their Skull and Bones membership, because the only way
out is to publicly break the vow of secrecy; otherwise you are not out! I am not
surprised that when John Kerry came to Wisconsin, he went to the little town of
Mount Horeb. (38) Mount Horeb is infamous for its occultism, including the
numerous carved trolls along its main street, which is called the “Mount Horeb
Trollway.” This is the area of one of the most powerful witch covens in the
world known as Circle Sanctuary. I have done spiritual battle with Circle
Sanctuary a number of times.
We have also learned that the Vatican has
given Catholics permission to vote for candidates favoring abortion rights. This
is an indirect endorsement of John Kerry. Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, the
Vatican’s arbiter of doctrinal orthodoxy, announced this special leeway to vote
for certain politicians favoring abortion on September 15th, 2004. (39) It
appears that John Kerry, a pro-abortion Roman Catholic, has the smile and nod of
the Vatican. Mr. Kerry and his wife would also be the richest first couple of
all time with a combined personal wealth of 3.2 billion dollars.
(40)
The record of George W. Bush speaks for itself, and clearly,
both Bush and Kerry are stooges for the globalist masterminds. No matter who is
elected or otherwise holds the highest office of the land, we are in a lot of
trouble. I take comfort in knowing that Jesus Christ is the King of Kings now,
and He always will be!
Preparing the Way for
the Kings of the East!
The Bible warns us in many places to watch
out for the eastern powers. Why has the U.S. Congress appropriated 20 million
dollars per year for North Koreans and made them eligible for asylum in the
U.S.? (41) Why is China never called “Red China” anymore? I am looking at a
picture taken on September 19th, 2004 of the nine-member Polit-Bureau with ten
red flags with the large Communist hammer and sickle behind them. (42) Communism
and Comm-UN-ism is very much alive. As we watch oil prices climbing toward 60
dollars per barrel, we must remember that Red China is now consuming a full
one-third of the world’s oil supply.
In the United States, Homeland
Security is building security bases from Bellingham, Washington, to Plattsburgh,
New York. There is to be continual air surveillance of the Canadian border. (43)
Strangely enough, there doesn’t seem to be much of a boundary between the U.S.
and Mexico anymore! Our beloved America is being systematically taken over and
bled dry, and hardly anyone seems to care! Because of one major day of terror on
September 11th, 2001, our freedoms have been dissolving away. Something similar
to our situation is also happening in Russia. Because of the terrible terrorist
activity at a school this past September, Vladimir Putin, the Russian President,
is restructuring Russia and is being called Russia’s new Czar. (44) In the name
of anti-terrorism, Putin is instituting his own version of a Department of
Homeland Security and is “centralizing authority.” (45) The whole world is under
the continual pressure of a sinister force to bring forth the antichrist
governance.
Iran is now being sternly warned to stop its program of
uranium enrichment for the production of nuclear weapons. Iran is being accused
of working toward the production of weapons of mass destruction. (46) There is
only one to whom we can turn in these uncertain times, and that is the Lord
Jesus Christ. He has all power. Quite sadly, the world looks elsewhere. There
are those within the United Nations who are calling for the General Assembly to
be moved to Geneva, Switzerland, and to have Bill Clinton as the head of what is
to be called “The Committee of Wise Men”, in order to solve the world’s wars and
problems. (47) Never have things been moving so quickly as in these last days.
May God give us a love for the truth and a dedication to the obedience of His
Word.
In closing, I continue to urge everyone to watch carefully and pray
fervently. We are here to help. Remember to send your prayer requests, because
each one receives individual and person attention. Also remember that this
newsletter is available in audio form, especially for the visually impaired. A
special thanks to all who support this end-time ministry in so many ways. Grace
and peace be unto you in the name of the Lord Jesus
Christ.
