NEW FOR TODAY:
CHRISTIANITY:

creationist Johan Huibers as a testament to his faith in the literal
truth of the Bible.

THE GREAT TRIBULATION:
6th
Trumpet or Confirmation, Which First? <-

This awesome audio file
addresses the following topics (and more): (a)
Two HUGE prophecies are “on
the table” right now… what are they, and how close are we to
seeing their fulfillment?
ISRAEL HAPPENINGS:
Ezekiel 38-39/Armageddon Players -
Has
US Defense Sec. Accelerated Ancient Prophecy Of Russian Attack On
Israel? <-
FEATURE!!!
Defense Secretary Robert Gates may well have accelerated an ancient
prophecy about Russia and Iran attacking Israel by offering the
Russians an opportunity to see how America would defend herself
against Iranian missiles made with Russian-assistance.
IDF
prepares for Syrian attack on Golan
The IDF
on Thursday held intensive training maneuvers in preparation for a
feared Syrian attack on the Golan Heights
Iran,
EU closer to 'united view' on breaking deadlock
Iran's
top nuclear negotiator said yesterday that talks with a senior EU
official had brought them closer to "a united view" of how

Leave
Iraq, Sadr tells "Antichrist" Bush <-
FEATURE!!!
The
powerful Iraqi cleric and militia leader Moqtada al-Sadr called
President George W. Bush the Antichrist on Saturday and urged him to
heed calls by the opposition Democrats to withdraw from the chaos of
Iraq.
Russian
Leader More Combative, Defiant <-
FEATURE!!!
Russia's affluence and stability, fueled by high oil prices, have
given him the confidence to confront the West and to try to reassert
the nation's influence as a world power. But Western critics warn
the Kremlin's new assertiveness reflects renewed imperial ambitions
and threatens its neighbors.
Israel's Enemies -

LAST DAYS WALTZ (2 TIMOTHY 3):
DUI
illegal kills pedestrian 1 week after receiving probation <-
FEATURE!!!

Mark of the Beast Precursor -
Opinion:
The Mark Of the Beast "On" Or "In" The Hand? (by
John Hinton) <-
FEATURE!!!
The translation "on the hand or forehead" is not hard to
understand. The usual meaning of the preposition epi is most often
"on" and it is how most would have translated this verse
at first sight. In fact, if I was seeing the text for the first
time, it is exactly how I would have translated it. I would have
translated it that way because I am far less of a Greek scholar than
the translation team members of the King James Bible committee, and
because I am not used as an instrument of God to preserve his word
in the English language -- I am only a defender of it.

hour."

WEIRD SCIENCE:
What
would happen if the robots turned against us? <-
FEATURE!!!
In Japan,
they work as carers and look eerily lifelike ... but what would
happen if the robots turned against us? No invention in the past
century has better evoked the uneasy relationship we have with
technology - a mixture of awe, huge (and usually unfulfilled)
expectations and some fear.

FREE BOOK:
"2007" by
Shelby Corbitt. Here's an excerpt:
The
rapture of the church (God's children) will happen during the SUMMER
OF 2007. This could be anytime from June 21-September 21. This means
Jesus Christ is going to appear in the eastern sky and call all His
children up to Heaven, leaving all the sinners and unbelievers
behind - this is not the end of the world - but it will be the
beginning of a terrible tribulation for those left behind. Rapture
is a Greek word that means caught up.
