Statement of Faith 

THE PURPOSE of Prophe-Zine is to carry out the command of the Lord Christ 
Jesus, recorded in Matthew 28:19: 
                  "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations" 

Prophe-Zine is a Christian publication grounded in the deity of Christ and 
the inerrancy of Scripture.  The major intent of the editors is first, the 
giving out the message of the Gospel, "For what I received I passed on to 
you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the 
Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day 
according to the Scriptures," 1 Cor. 15:3-4. 

The Editor of Prophe-Zine holds to a strictly literal and inerrant Bible 
interpretation, salvation through Christ alone, a soon pre-tribulation 
Rapture of all believers and the establishment of a thousand-year kingdom 
on earth. The evangelism of the unbelievers and the exhortation of the 
believers take precedence over all other activities of this ministry. 

Prophe-Zine may not agree with some of the authors and their beliefs, but 
Prophe-Zine believes that we must endeavor to keep the unity of the spirit 
(In other words agree to disagree), so Prophe-Zine feels that it must give 
equal time to other biblically based doctrines in all fairness. 

Eph 4:3 Endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

Welcome to Issue # 14 

Hello Everyone!! 

Once again, here is your bi-weekly issue of PROPHE-ZINE. It has been a busy 
couple of weeks and I was slow at updating the www site. So if it effected 
any ofyou, I am sorry for that. 

I need your help, if you are willing. I have made some business cards for 
PZ and the www site and if you will be so kind, drop me a note with your 
snail mail address and I will send some to you to pass out to your friends, 
co-workers and fellow church members. (I am sorry that I can not offer this 
to my friends abroad, my funds do not permit this at this time) Also, let 
me assure you that I will not give your address to anyone, unless the BATF 
breaks my door down and steals my computer records, that is the only way I 
see your address getting out of my hands (g). Other than that, NO one will 
get your address. 

Next I would like to offer, if you are interested, I can send you some 
newspaper clippings that I have and some sample newsletters from Gary Kah 
or Norm Franz if you want . If you can, all I  ask is that you please drop 
$3.00 in the mail to cover all the copying and mail fees when you get the 
packet. Now the $3.00 is if you want the news clippings, if you want my 
business cards, you don't have to send me any money, your helping me out in 
that. One more thing. I AM NOT DOING THIS FOR ANY PROFIT. I am doing this 
to give you, my readers, tools to let people see what is going on by use of 
secular media. I find using secular stories very convincing when it comes 
to Bible Prophecy and spreading the Gospel. So if you are interested, let 
me know when you send me your snail mail address. 

I really need prayer. I have been going through some rough times and can 
really use it. The enemy is attacking me in my marriage, job and ministry.

that. So please keep me in your prayers from time to time...I REALLY need 
it right now. Thanks. =) 

One last thing, If you live in California, Please drop me a note. I would 
like to meet my readers from CA and maybe we can all meet one weekend for a 
prophecy - get - together. How does that sound? Anyone like to camp? Summer 
is coming up and I though that it would be a fun thing to do. Heck, where 
ever you live and if you are interested in doing something like this, you 
are welcome also. So let me know all you California locals(and non locals 
too)  if this sounds like something fun and something you would want to do. 

So until we meet together her on this earth or in the air with our Lord....... 

Always in His service,

Post-Tribulation: My Reasons for Believing It. 
By: Eugene W. Gross, Director, Third Day Ministry 

I've read a number of objections to the post-tribulational view of the 
rapture. Many of them raise excellent points, but my purpose here is not to 
attempt to answer all of those points. Indeed, such an effort would  be 
doomed to failure given the need for brevity required by any magazine 
article. There are books available that do this. I shall endeavor to 
provide such a list at a future time. 

I started off believing in a pre-tribulational rapture after coming to 
Christ back in the early 70's. But when I began doing my own study and 
research into this doctrine, I found myself questioning the conclusions  of 
men like Walvoord, Breese, Lindsey, Pentecost, and others. I respect  these 
men, but must at the same time respectfully disagree with their  thinking. 

When God has poured out His wrath in the past, He did not remove His 
people, but rather protected them in the midst of the outpouring of His 
wrath.  Examine Noah. Noah and his family were not removed from the world 
while  the Flood inundated and destroyed all life on the earth. Rather, God 
had  Noah build an Ark and protected Noah and his family inside the Ark as 
His wrath fell upon that evil, foul world of the time. 

Then, in Egypt, when God poured out His judgements and wrath upon the 
Egyptians, He protected the Israelites in the midst of it all. He even 
provided one of the clearest symbols of the Blood of Christ and its value 
when He had the Israelites splash lamb's blood on the door posts and 
lentels of the Hebrew homes prior to the coming of the angel of death to 
take the first born. Again, God did not take His people out, but protected 
them in the midst of the outpouring of His wrath. 

This caused me to wonder about the coming tribulation that will fall upon 
this world at the end times. Will God actually remove the Church from the 
world? So I began reading the prophetic statements of Jesus as recorded in 
the Gospels concerning this period of time. When I finished reading Matthew 
24, it became clear to me that the only thing that even remotely sounded 
like the rapture, and event of considerable significance to the entire 
Church, was found in Matthew 24:31. This event, the gathering of the elect 
from all parts of the world, occurs only after the time that Jesus calls 
the "great tribulation" in verse 21. 

Now, some argue that Jesus' statements aren't in chronological order, but 
this doesn't carry much weight since we can follow the statements of Christ 
in chronological order today and see their fulfillment. For example, Jesus 
mentions earthquakes in various places. So, let's look at some facts about 
earthquakes. For the sake of this article, let's look only at quakes over 
6.0 on the Richter scale, since these are significant quakes. 

	1890 to 1970: 39 over 6.0 
	1970 to 1979: 51 over 6.0 
	1980 to 1989: 86 over 6.0 
	1990 to 1994: 100+ over 6.0 

Do you see the progression? What about other signs of the time of birth 
pangs, as Jesus called them? Well, we now have outbreaks of pestilence the 
likes of which we've not seen since the beginning of history. AIDS, Ebola 
Zaire, to name only two, but there are more just waiting. And this doesn't 
include such things as the new, drug-resistant strains of TB and other 
diseases. 

We also are seeing increasing persecution of Christians around the world 
and in this nation. Sometimes, Christians are being handed over by those 
who once sat next to them as brothers and sisters in Christ. Note what 
Jesus said in verses 9-12: "Then shall many be offended, and shall betray 
one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall 
rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love 
of many shall grow cold." 

Those betraying Christians aren't non-believers, but believers!! Or at 
least, they have called themselves believers. Also note that many false 
prophets shall rise -- not from outside the Church, but from within the 
Church! Don't we see this today? 

All of these events are happening in chronological order so far, so the 
argument that what Jesus says is not chronological is without foundation. 
And if what He says is in chronological order, then we have a problem with 
the view that the rapture occurs prior to the "great tribulation." The 
"great tribulation," according to Jesus, occurs after the revealing of the 
man of sin, the abomination that causes desolation! More, the catching 
away, or gathering together unto Him, occurs after the "great tribulation." 

Now, we don't base any view on one passage, or even a couple of 
passages.So, let's look at another passage found in Paul's writings. Turn 
to 2 Thessalonians 2:1-3. Here we read, "Now we beseech you, brethren, but 
the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto 
him, that ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, 
nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of [the Lord] is 
[present]. Let no man deceive you by any means; for that day shall not 
come, except there come [the] falling away first, and that man of sin be 
revealed, the son of perdition." 

Note that Paul specifically states that before the Lord comes to gather us 
together unto Him, there must first come the falling away, or the apostacy, 
and the revealing of the man of sin, the son of perdition, we call the 
Antichrist. Again, Paul places the sequence of events in the same order as 
Jesus did. 

Thus, I conclude that the rapture will not take place prior to the "great 
tribulation," but rather at some point after the "great tribulation." For 
those who ask about us going through God's wrath, recall that God has 
always protected His people from and in the midst of His wrath. 

Why would God leave us here during the "great tribulation"? Because we have 
a job to do! We have a witness that must continue until the moment of His 
return. The Church not only must bear witness to the world that Jesus 
Christ is the Lord of lords, King of kings, but also point them toward Him 
as the only hope of salvation. According to what Jesus says (Matt. 24:14), 
we are here to preach the Gospel to all the world. During the darkest time 
in all of recorded history, there will be the greatest revival occurring in 
history! 

Now, even if this doesn't cause you to change your thinking on this 
doctrine, and that really wasn't my purpose here, I want you to think about 
something. In China before the takeover of the Communists, many 
missionaries taught their congregants that they would not have to endure 
tribulation. When the Communists took over, these congregants were at a 
loss to explain to others why they were now undergoing such incredible 
persecution! Many fell away because they thought that they had been lied to 
and that there was no power in Christianity. However, others who had been 
taught to prepare to endure hardship and tribulation came through this 
time, those that weren't martyred for Christ, stronger and more committed 
to Christ than ever. Today, the underground Church in China is alive and 
thriving, but they are teaching their congregants to prepare! 

So, while I would not dissuade someone from believing in a pre-trib 
rapture, I do teach that people need to prepare as if they were going to be 
here for the entire end times events, but pray that God takes them out 
sooner! More, I teach people to give the world sufficient evidence to 
convict them of being Christians, committed totally to Christ, not even 
loving their own lives. If the Lord does indeed return for us prior to the 
"great  tribulation," what better for Him to see than His people doing what 
He  commissioned them to do with total commitment!?

Global Reconstruction 
By: William Norman Grigg 
From: THE NEW AMERICAN -- January 8, 1996 

Shortly after his inauguration, President Clinton was asked by the Wall 
Street Journal, "What event before 1900 helped shape your vision of 
American society [and] your view of America s role in the world?" Mr. 
Clinton replied, "None, because most of the things the U.S. did before 1900 
were totally inconsistent with the global role I d like us to play...." 
Give Mr. Clinton credit for his candor then and his 
consistency now. The deployment of U.S. troops to Bosnia as part of aNATO 
"implementation force" (IFOR) under the authority of the United Nations 
Security Council does indeed represent a critical redefinition of America s 
role in the world, one that is completely incompatible with the values and 
ideals of America s Founders. 

Without constitutional authority, prior congressional approval, or a 
mandate from the American public, the Clinton Administration is using 
American troops to impose a new political order upon a collection of 
peoples who have displayed no desire to participate in a UN-mandated 
"multiethnic democracy." Of course, the Administration and the 
Establishment media have sought to disguise such unpalatable truths by 
coating them with a cloying glaze of Orwellian language. 

In a moment of transparent dishonesty during his November 27th address, Mr. 
Clinton declared, "In the choice between peace and war, America must choose 
peace." This was too much for Washington Times columnist Richard Grenier, a 
former Naval officer and devout anti-Communist who can hardly be accused of 
"isolationist" sentiments. Grenier observed, "In our role of Bosnian  peace 
enforcers  we bear some resemblance to the  peace fighters  that Peking 
sent across the border in Korea to clobber us when Gen.  MacArthur got too 
close to the Yalu." In Bosnia, "peace" will be achieved through a military 
occupation and the imposition of the unworkable constitution created by the 
Dayton peace agreement. But, as we will see, the implications of the 
Bosnian venture for America s independence and constitutional system are 
just as sinister. 

From the moment the Bosnian peace accord was initialed in Dayton, 
supporters of the treaty have insisted that troops must be deployed to 
Bosnia lest "American credibility" suffer. It matters not to such 
individuals that President Clinton s promise to deploy American troops was 
constitutionally invalid. In the new world order, the role of national 
leaders is to tutor their subjects regarding their "international 
commitments" and compel acceptance of those commitments. This point was 
made explicitly in Our Global Neighborhood, the recently published report 
of the Commission on Global Governance: 

"[I]nternal political processes within nation-states themselves may.. 
become obstacles to adoption of international standards.... In the 
contemporary world, populist action has the potential to strike down the 
carefully crafted products of international deliberation, usually on the 
grounds of nationalism.... One of the challenges for governments in an era 
of democracy is to ensure that the public understands the nature of 
international law-making processes and supports them." 

For supporters of the Clinton Administration s Bosnia policy, the President 
s commitment to deploy "peacekeeping" troops may be constitutionally 
untenable, but it carries the weight of law as an international commitment. 

On December 3rd, Senator John McCain (R-AZ) stated on ABC s This Week with 
David Brinkley that phone calls to Capitol Hill were running "100-to-one" 
against the deployment of U.S. troops to Bosnia. Nevertheless, McCain 
insisted that he had "no choice" other than to support the deployment, 
because "the word of the United States has to mean something." Senate 
Majority Leader Bob Dole (R-KS) expressed similar sentiments on the Senate 
floor: "We have the responsibility whenever the President of the United 
States, whoever that may be, gives his word to the international 
community.... It s not politically popular, but it s the right thing to do. 
And sometimes it takes a while for people to understand when you do the 
right thing." 

The preponderance of public disapproval for the President s Bosnia policy 
was felt more keenly in the House. On December 7th, 201 members of Congress 
from both parties signed a one-sentence letter to President Clinton which 
stated simply: "We urge you not to send ground troops to Bosnia." However, 
one signature conspicuously absent from that letter was the familiar 
felt-tip scrawl of House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-GA), a self-described 
"internationalist." The Speaker s acquiescent stance toward the 
Administration offered a clear signal that the President s critics had 
little choice but to accept the deployment as a fait accompli. This message 
was understood by House National Security Committee Chairman Floyd Spence 
(R-SC), who opened a November 30th hearing by stating, "The proverbial 
train has left the station, and our troops are already on board." 

In an attempt to prod recalcitrant legislators into supporting the Bosnia 
mission, the Clinton Administration made use of a familiar tactic: It 
sought to create a "bipartisan consensus" on behalf of the venture by 
enlisting the support of Establishment foreign policy "experts" -- nearly 
all of whom were associated with the ubiquitous Council on Foreign 
Relations (CFR). The Dayton peace agreement and the planned U.S. deployment 
received early endorsements from Henry Kissinger (CFR), Colin Powell (CFR), 
and Brent Scowcroft (CFR). By early December the Administration had also 
secured the public support of former Presidents George Bush (CFR), Gerald 
Ford (CFR), and Jimmy Carter (CFR). 

During a December 5th Washington, DC press conference, seven foreign policy 
luminaries (Alexander Haig, Frank Carlucci, Ken Adleman, Max Kampelman, 
Zbigniew Brzezinski, Dante Fascell, and Stephen Solarz), all of whom are 
CFR members, continued the fabrication of a "bipartisan consensus" by 
announcing the creation of the Committee for American Leadership in Bosnia. 
On December 6th, President Clinton welcomed a delegation from that 
committee tothe Cabinet Room of the White House, where he thanked them for 
joining "across partisan lines to make a strong case for America s 
leadership in Bosnia...." 

The Committee for American Leadership in Bosnia presented its "case" to the 
public on December 7th in the form of "An Open Letter to Congress" 
published in full-page advertisements in the New York Times and the 
Washington Post. After dutifully reciting the talking points assembled by 
the Clinton Administration, the advertisement concluded: "We urge Congress 
to provide a clear expression of bipartisan support so that everyone in 
Bosnia -- especially the young American men and women we send there -- 
understands our resolve to help bring this tragic and dangerous war to an 
end." 

Committee spokesman Rick Messick, a former chief counsel for the Senate 
Foreign Relations Committee under Senator Dick Lugar (R-IN), explained to 
The New American that "[Committee organizers] Peter Rodman and Steve Solarz 
and a couple of other people thought it would be good to show that there is 
bipartisan support for the President s Bosnia initiative. So people just 
started calling their friends, and that s what we were able to assemble." 
To judge by the committee s membership list, it appears that Rodman and 
Solarz simply posted a sign-up sheet at the CFR s Pratt House headquarters: 
Of the 45 committee members who signed the full-page ads, 37 are members of 
the Council on Foreign Relations. By December 8th, according to Messick, 
the committee -- which had been little more than a collection of signatures 
and a Wall Street address -- had served its purpose and ceased to exist. 

The Republican leadership understood the message: As the New York Times 
observed, "Republicans long identified with the foreign-policy 
establishment, like Mr. Dole, Mr. McCain and Senator Richard Lugar of 
Indiana, have swung behind the President." On December 13th, with what the 
Chicago Tribune described as the "reluctant but unflinching aid of Senate 
Majority Leader Bob Dole," the Senate approved a resolution co-sponsored by 
Dole and McCain supporting the Bosnia deployment. 

The Dole/McCain measure effectively stopped a House resolution sponsored by 
Representative Bob Dornan (R-CA), which called for the de-funding of the 
Bosnia mission and the withdrawal of American troops which had already been 
deployed: Dornan s bill was defeated by a vote of 218-210. House Speaker 
Gingrich was nowhere to be seen during floor debate over the Dornan bill. 

Seeking to allay the concerns of the American public and defuse 
congressional criticism, the Clinton Administration has repeatedly 
emphasized that the Bosnia deployment is a NATO venture rather than a UN 
mission. However, the Dayton agreement unambiguously states that NATO is a 
"peacekeeping" enterprise "under Chapter VII of the United Nations 
Charter," and that the mission was mandated by the United Nations Security 
Council. 

As is documented elsewhere in this issue (see page 17), NATO was designed 
as a political and military subsidiary of the UN, and it has no rationale 
for existence apart from the world organization.  This was understood at 
the time of NATO s creation in 1949. A State Department document published 
in the spring of that year entitled Foreign Affairs Outlines: Building the 
Peace explained that NATO was designed to "bring about world conditions 
which will permit the United Nations to function more efficiently." This 
understanding was also expressed in a March 1949 Washington, DC address by 
Secretary of State Dean Acheson (CFR). Acheson explained: 

"[NATO] is designed to fit precisely into the framework of the United 
Nations and to assure practical measures for maintaining peace and security 
in harmony with the Charter.... The United States government and the 
governments with which we are associated in this treaty are convinced that 
it is an essential measure for strengthening the United Nations...." 

That the Bosnia mission is a UN enterprise was conceded by Senator Patrick 
Moynihan (D_NY) during the floor debate over the Dole/McCain resolution. 
Senator Moynihan, along-time member of the Council on Foreign Relations, 
exulted: "I once represented the United States as President of the Security 
Council. I had not known I would live to see an hour as fine as this...." 
Moynihan called particular attention to "the importance of the fact that we 
are doing it in a collective effort anticipated by the UN Charter." 

Nor can Americans be reliably assured that U.S. GIs assigned to NATO will 
always serve under American command. In 1991, Bush Administration Secretary 
of Defense Dick Cheney (CFR) announced a radical restructuring of NATO in 
which American soldiers would be placed under the command of German, 
British, and other foreign officers. The subsequent drive to expand NATO to 
include former Warsaw Pact nations through the "Partnership for Peace" 
initiative creates the potential for even more unsettling command 
configurations. 

Furthermore, the recently installed secretary-general of NATO, Spanish 
diplomat Javier Solana, is a devoted socialist, as was his scandal-plagued 
Belgian predecessor Willy Claes. (Interestingly, Solana was the Clinton 
Administration s preferred candidate for the post.) When Admiral Leighton 
Smith stated last September that American fighters conducting bombing raids 
over Bosnia were "carrying out the mandates of the secretary-general," the 
individual to whom Admiral Smith referred was either Belgian socialist 
Willy Claes or Egyptian socialist Boutros Boutros-Ghali.  The Clinton 
Administration has repeatedly emphasized that the IFOR will be commanded by 
U.S. Army General George Joulwan, the supreme NATO military commander. 
However, in the NATO chain of command, General Joulwan  receives his 
authority from NATO s highest-ranking civilian official, Javier Solana, who 
is himself subordinate to UN Secretary-General Boutros-Ghali. 

During the 1960s and  70s, Javier Solana was a member of Spain s Socialist 
Worker s Party and a supporter of the Soviet Union; he remains a committed 
friend of Fidel Castro. Before becoming an "ex-Marxist," Solana was also a 
vehement critic of NATO. However, now that the alliance has dropped its 
pretense of anti-Communism, Solana has become one of its most energetic 
supporters. A highly placed NATO official enthused to The European that 
Solana s appointment "sends a very clear message that we are now more than 
just a military alliance. We are evolving into a political organization." 
NATO s political function is to accelerate the consolidation of Europe as a 
socialist megastate. 

In testimony offered before the House Committee on International Relations 
and National Security on November 30th, Defense Secretary William Perry 
proudly pointed out that the NATO/UN Implementation Force will include 
troops from 32 nations, including Russia. "The wide participation in the 
IFOR is a symbol of the new Europe," Perry emphasized. "The effort will 
define how security in Europe is going to be handled for decades to come. 
In effect, we will be defining what post-Cold War Europe is all about and 
how its security will be assured." 

Helping to define European security in Bosnia will be Russian General 
Leonty Shevtsov, whose last assignment was to carry out the Kremlin s 
murderous effort to suppress resurgent Chechnyan nationalism. 

But then again, suppressing nationalism is one of the chief functions of 
the new "post-Cold War Europe." This point was made emphatically by former 
German Chancellor Hans-Dietrich Genscher, one of Europe s most powerful and 
influential diplomats, during a recent panel discussion at the James A. 
Baker III Institute for Public Policy at Rice University: 

"The stability of the new world order and the new global challenges require 
cooperation between all global players.... [W]e have to fight organized 
crime, international terrorism, and fundamentalist tendencies which are not 
limited to Islamics only.... Nationalism ... is a main enemy of the nations 
of Europe, and it can only be avoided by an ever closer cooperation 
[through the European Union]." 

In a subsequent syndicated column applauding the Dayton accord, Genscher 
reiterated the point that nationalism is incompatible with the new world 
order: "The human tragedy of the conflict in Bosnia has provided shocking 
proof ... that nationalism and intolerance no longer have a place in 
Europe." 

Nationalism can indeed be intolerant, and Bosnia has presented the tragic 
spectacle of mutually exclusive ethnic nationalisms engaged in a war of 
liquidation. However, the dogma of "multi-ethnic democracy" can triumph in 
Bosnia only through coercion and bloodshed -- and NATO troops are poised to 
kill recalcitrant Muslims, Croats, and Serbs whose aspirations are 
incompatible with the constitution created by in the Dayton accord. 

The proposed constitution of Bosnia-Herzegovina is the handiwork of a 
cluster of American diplomats and lawyers who gathered at Dayton, Ohio in 
an environment giddily described by State Department spokesman Nicholas 
Burns as "a living, breathing, international diplomatic biosphere." Most of 
the architects of the Dayton agreement and the draft constitution for 
Bosnia-Herzegovina remain anonymous. An official at the State Department s 
European Bureau explained to The New American, "Apart from the top 
negotiators at Dayton, we re not releasing any names" of those responsible 
for the framework agreement. However, he disclosed that "the bulk of the 
document was drafted by our own legal people here at the State Department, 
with some help from our European counterparts." It is therefore reasonable 
to assume that the draft Bosnian constitution represents the distilled 
wisdom of America s foreign policy establishment -- a troubling prospect, 
when one examines the establishment s handiwork. 

According to its new constitution, the "nation" of Bosnia-Herzegovina will 
be composed of two political entities, the Republica Srbska and the 
Moslem-Croat federation of Bosnia. The new nation will not be defined by 
shared ethnicity, cultural origins, or religious ideals, but by "the 
Purposes and Principles of the Charter of the United Nations." Article II, 
paragraph 2 of the Bosnian constitution contains 
 an explicit supremacy clause which makes national law subordinate to 
international law: "The rights and freedoms set forth in the European 
Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms and 
its Protocols shall apply directly in Bosnia and Herzegovina. These shall 
have priority over all other law." (Emphasis added.) This provision will 
simplify "harmonization" between Bosnia and the European Union (EU), and 
the newly created Bosnian Constitutional Court is directed to bring Bosnian 
laws into conformity with EU standards. 

In the fashion of Stalin s Soviet constitution and the UN s "human rights" 
instruments, the new Bosnian constitution enumerates individual "rights," 
rather than powers of government. Article II, paragraph 3 contains the 
heading "Enumeration of Rights," and proceeds through a familiar litany of 
government-created -- and therefore revocable -- "rights." Furthermore, 
Article II, paragraph 7 dictates that "Bosnia and Herzegovina shall remain 
or become party to the international agreements listed in Annex I to this 
Constitution." 

The Annex in question includes every significant UN "human rights" 
document, including the Genocide Convention, the International Convention 
on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, the International 
Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the Convention on the Elimination 
of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women, and the Convention on the 
Rights of the Child -- all of which are similarly predicated upon the 
assumption that "rights" are conditional gifts of the state, rather than 
unalienable endowments from God. 

Additionally, the constitution provides that Bosnia will be a nation 
effectively devoid of national sovereignty: 

"All competent authorities in Bosnia and Herzegovina shall cooperate with 
and provide unrestricted access to: any international human rights 
monitoring mechanisms established for Bosnia and Herzegovina; the 
supervisory bodies established by any of the international agreements 
listed in Annex I to this Constitution [that is, the UN conventions and 
treaties]; the International Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia ... and any 
other organization authorized by the United Nations Security Council with a 
mandate concerning human rights or humanitarian law." 

This "transparency" will extend to economic matters as well. The new 
constitution specifies that "There shall be a Central Bank of Bosnia, which 
shall be the sole authority for issuing currency and for monetary policy 
throughout Bosnia and Herzegovina," and that the first Governing Board of 
the Bosnian Central Bank will be headed by "a Governor appointed by the 
International Monetary Fund" (IMF). It was the IMF s management of the 
post-Tito Yugoslav economy which created the wave of hyperinflation which 
helped precipitate the Yugoslav civil war. (See "New World Order on 
Display," The New American, October 4, 1993). 

Apologists for the Dayton accord may insist that the UN-dominated 
institutions created by the Bosnian constitution are necessary to prevent 
future outbreaks of ethnic strife. However, as the December 
18th issue of U.S. News & World Report observed, "Far from unifying Bosnia 
s different ethnic groups, signs are that the accord will spark one final 
round of self-imposed ethnic cleansing as soldiers and civilians caught on 
the  wrong  side of the new ethnic dividing lines scramble to escape to the 
right  side." The largest concentration of people on the "wrong" side are 
the 60,000-150,000 Bosnian Serbs who live in the suburbs of Sarajevo, which 
the Dayton accord designates a unified city under Muslim control. 

A senior diplomat in Belgrade told Dusko Doder of The European that "Dayton 
is a botched job. It seems to sanction ethnic cleansing of Sarajevo." A 
similar warning was issued by General Jean-Rene Bachelet, who until 
recently commanded French peacekeeping forces in Bosnia. Noting that the 
agreement requires the disarmament of Serb militias in Sarajevo -- which 
will leave them defenseless before the majority Muslim government -- 
General Bachelet predicts that if the Dayton accord is implemented, "We 
would then see terrible television pictures of French soldiers directing 
traffic while houses burned." For Serb civilians who reside in Sarajevo, 
according to Bachelet, the Dayton agreement presents "a choice between a 
coffin and a suitcase." 

As U.S. News pointed out, "It was in the Sarajevo suburbs that the war more 
or less began." Despite the fact that the French have been assigned the 
task of "pacifying" Sarajevo, the Bosnian Serbs have identified the U.S. as 
their enemy -- a perception which has been strengthened by the announcement 
that the U.S.-led IFOR will help arm and train the Bosnian Federation s 
military. Should violence erupt anew in the embattled capital, it will be 
all but impossible to avoid the involvement of American and British troops 
-- thus internationalizing what had been an isolated ethnic conflict. 

But Sarajevo is not the only flash point. In an analysis of the Dayton 
accord published in The New Republic, professors John J.  Mearsheimer of 
the University of Chicago and Stephen Van Evera of MIT observe that the 
Bosnian Federation is the product of an unnatural union between the Croats 
and Muslims, and a divorce between these factions "may well occur by war." 
Furthermore, "Renewed Croat-Muslim fighting could in turn cause a wide 
unraveling of the Dayton accord by triggering renewed Serb-Muslim and 
Serb-Croat fighting." Far from producing peace and ethnic harmony, 
Mearsheimer and Van Evera maintain, the Dayton accords "will lead to a new 
war, this time with American troops caught in the middle." 

Such intractable rivalries cannot be reconciled; they can only be 
suppressed. Accordingly, the IFOR mission in Bosnia will take the form of a 
military dictatorship. The Dayton accord decrees that within 120 days of 
the final signing ceremony, all military units will be demobilized and all 
troops and heavy weaponry will be confined to barracks facilities. The IFOR 
may use whatever military force is deemed necessary to compel compliance. 

Furthermore, the agreement s provisions for "demilitarization" of the new 
Bosnian state include the "disbandment of special operations and armed 
civilian groups" as "progressive measures for regional stability and arms 
control." The Dayton accord s "Agreement on the Military Aspects of the 
Peace Settlement" applies to "all personnel and organizations with military 
capability under its control or within territory under its control, 
including armed civilian groups, national guards, army reserves, military 
police, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs Special Police...." The Annex 
referred to demands that Bosnian authorities, under NATO direction, "disarm 
and disband all armed civilian groups, except for authorized police forces, 
within 30 days after the Transfer of Authority [from UN to NATO command]." 
The Bosnian police force will be constructed under UN supervision. 

In addition, pending the establishment of a UN-approved Bosnian police 
force, the IFOR army of occupation will essentially be a police force with 
a standing search warrant: 

"[T]he IFOR shall have the unimpeded right to observe, monitor, and inspect 
any Forces, facility, or activity in Bosnia and Herzegovina that the IFOR 
believes may have military capability. The refusal, interference, or denial 
by any Party of this right to observe, monitor, and inspect by the IFOR 
shall constitute a breach of this [agreement] and the violating Party shall 
be subject to military action by the IFOR, including the use of necessary 
force to ensure compliance...." 

Even a superficial review of the Bosnian constitution and the functions and 
powers conferred upon the IFOR mission illustrates why the Bosnia 
deployment is such a cherished project of the Establishment: The mission is 
intended to create in Bosnia a microcosm of the new world order. It is an 
almost literal realization, albeit on a relatively small scale, of the 
vision expressed in the 1958 manifesto World Peace Through World Law by 
globalists Grenville Clark and Louis B. Sohn, in which a UN "world police 
force" would be endowed with "a coercive force of overwhelming power" to 
impose "world law" upon a disarmed population. 

The legal axiom that "hard cases make bad law" certainly makes sense in 
international affairs. The "world law" dreamed of by the likes of Clark and 
Sohn will be built upon hard cases like that of Bosnia, and precedents set 
in such efforts will ultimately have an impact upon America s domestic 
affairs. Indeed, the ease with which Bill Clinton was able to ignore the 
constitutional limitations of his office, and the alacrity with which his 
congressional "opposition" yielded to his usurpation, demonstrate that the 
effort to create "world law" has already significantly subverted our 
constitutional system.

The Father of Lies 
By Zola Levitt 

In John 8:44, Jesus declares that Satan is the father of lies. It is one of 
his primary methods of operation. If he cannot twist truth to fit his 
purpose, he will do all he can to cloud it so that it can't be seen. And 
since Israel has been at the heart of the fulfillment of biblical prophecy, 
Satan has woven some of his biggest lies around that little nation, trying 
to undermine the Israelis' divine right to their land. 

Evidence of this surrounds us. On a CBS program dealing with the subject of 
Rabin's assassination, Thomas Friedman, a writer, remarked, "There are Jews 
who care more about the biblical land of Israel than making peace with the 
Palestinians." (He can count me among them.) He, at least, gives some 
credence to the idea that Israel is a biblical land, a fact that isn't 
always clear to Israel's leaders. In a New York Times article, Prime 
Minister Peres talked about the West Bank as ". . . what they [his 
opponents] hold to be biblical Jewish land." It is in fact biblical Jewish 
land, and no historian or archaeologist could doubt that. Peres also 
referred to right-wing Israelis as being "on the edge of insanity, who 
think they are God's messengers. In fact, they are the devil's disciples." 
He seems to have gotten it turned around. It brings to mind Isaiah 5:20, 
"Woe to them that call evil good, and good evil." 

Such rhetoric would seem more natural coming from Israel's enemies. In 
fact, in the PLO Covenant, article 20 states, "Claims of historical or 
religious ties of Jews with Palestine are incompatible with the facts of 
history and the true conception of what constitutes statehood." I wonder 
which "facts of history" they are using. Probably the ones that begin, 
"Once upon a time. . . ." 

The PLO Covenant is a document most Christians are unfamiliar with, and it 
is a bone of contention in the ongoing "peace process." The PLO has until 
March to change their covenant, article 9 of which states, "Armed struggle 
is the only way to liberate Palestine. Thus it is the overall strategy, not 
merely a tactical phase." Article 21 declares, "The Arab Palestinian 
people, expressing themselves by the armed Palestinian revolution, reject 
all solutions which are substitutes for the total liberation of Palestine." 

Such statements are incompatible with the new dove of peace Arafat 
supposedly carries around in his pocket. It is telling, however, that more 
than a year after the peace agreement started, those articles still remain. 

Israel is in danger. It has always been in danger, surrounded from its 
birth by nations committed to its destruction, but the current policy of 
giving up its land only weakens it. By having areas of Palestinian 
self-rule within a stone's throw of Israeli settlements, those Israelis 
have lost a great deal of their security. Moshe Zak writes in a recent 
Jerusalem Post article that Israeli defense experts, in allowing an 
independent Palestinian police force, did not think it would pose a 
military threat, but that "they didn't take another issue into account: the 
ability and willingness of the Palestinian Police to prevent Israeli 
settlements being harassed by Palestinian marauders from over the Green 
Line [the informal boundary between the West Bank and the rest of Israel]." 
The Israeli government's hands are tied, since "it can no longer launch 
severe reprisals to force the Palestinian Police to act against the plague 
of car theft and stealing of agricultural property from settlements in the 
area." 

In a recent editorial in the Jerusalem Post, Israel is described as "the 
only country in which the vast majority of thefts are committed with the 
active encouragement of a neighboring government. . . . The vehicles are 
actually ordered from the burglars by Palestinian Authority officials, 
specifying size, make, color and model." Later, the editorial states, "All 
the communities abutting the territories complaain of a dramatic increase 
in thefts, burglaries and even robberies." The citizens of Israel have been 
made more vulnerable by the land giveaways; and that is a frightening 
thought when you couple that with the fact that in meetings with the PLO, 
Hamas has renewed its pledge to continue violence. It has refused to 
desist. 

Derek Prince, a noted Bible teacher, in a taped Bible study related that 
before the 1948 war, when Israel was not yet a nation, he observed with his 
own eyes a skirmish between Jews and Arabs on a major street in downtown 
Jerusalem. Prince had an apartment that overlooked the street, and his 
5-year-old daughter told him to come and look. Arabs had trapped and killed 
35 Israelis. When he saw the street, it looked as if supermarket meat had 
been dumped there because the Arabs had shot the Israelis and then cut them 
into small pieces. Prince was making the point in his study that the Arabs 
in Israel still have this horrific mentality. 

There are so many reasons why the Land ought not to be given to the PLO: 

       1)     It is anti-biblical. 
       2)     It rewards terrorism and the Intifada. 
       3)     It elevates an ordinary killer (Arafat) to national 
              leadership. 
       4)     It will not lead to peace; the PLO has no intention 
              of making peace. 
       5)     It becomes physically impossible to defend the remaining 
               parts of Israel militarily. 
       6)     Jewish and Christian religious sites are being handed 
              over to Moslems (such as the Church of the Nativity and 
              Rachel's tomb in Bethlehem, and the tomb of the 
              Patriarchs in Hebron). 

It should be remembered that the struggle in Israel is spiritual as well as 
physical. It is a contest of religions as well as a conflict between 
peoples. A key feature of the End Times will be the reign of the Antichrist 
during the Tribulation. And his reign will be religious as well as 
political. 

In his book 2000 A.D., a look 25 years later at his Late Great Planet 
Earth, Hal Lindsey saw that the End Times were developing just as he had 
predicted. He followed Scripture and it is all coming about. That would 
explain the postures that everyone is taking, Christian, Jew and Arab. When 
I first began examining prophecy, I had no idea that the Arabs would play 
such a prominent role, that a common Arab terrorist such as Arafat would 
one day be perceived as a figure of world importance. 

It is all part of the coming of the End Times, and the world church of the 
Tribulation could well develop from a pact between the sacramental 
religions of the world, especially Moslems and Catholics. Author Dave Hunt 
believes that the Catholic Church will play a prominent role in the 
Tribulation, and he is not alone in that belief. An uncomfortable alliance 
is forming of Catholics and fundamentalist Moslems which could be equal to 
upwards of 2 billion people (almost half the world). It began over 
reproduction ethics at the 1994 Cairo Conference. They found themselves 
holding the line together about contraception, abortion, etc., and now are 
in some sort of agreement. Although the Pope grudgingly recognizes that 
Jews need a place to live, he still does not recognize Jerusalem as 
Israel's capital and he wants Jerusalem to be divided, calling it the 
capital of three great religions. You can contrast this view with that of 
Mayor Ehud Olmert, who points out that the capital of Moslems is in Mecca 
and that of Christians is in Rome, and therefore Jerusalem is solely the 
Jewish capital. 

Actually, it is the seat of the Catholic Church that is in Rome. The true 
Christian capital will be the new Jerusalem, which we, the Jews and 
Gentiles of the Church, will occupy. I haven't written the above as an 
exercise in bashing Catholics. There are devout Christians within this 
church, but throughout history the Catholic Church has shown a distressing 
tendency to adapt itself to whichever cultural and religious adherents it 
has tried to proselytize. In this way, error has entered into its doctrines 
and practices. This trait of assimilation could be disastrous if it tries 
to draw the other world religions within its folds and make peace by 
diluting the Gospel to the point where Christ is indistinguable from 
Mohammed, Buddha, or any other great "prophet." 

Satan is the father of lies, and in the End Times there will be great 
deception. Israel will play a key role in the unfolding of final biblical 
prophecy, and so Satan is bound to do all he can to pull the wool 
overpeople's eyes concerning the truth of its place in God's plan. The 
world will continue to pressure Israel with one "peace" plan or another, 
but  lasting peace is available only through our risen Savior; and He is 
the One  to whom one day "every knee will bow, and every tongue confess 
that Jesus Christ is Lord!

Population Reduction 
by Paula Demers 

     Every time I turn around I will hear over the news, or read in the 
paper of the tremendous over population of our planet.  This is very 
interesting, because, from what I understand, if you took the entire 
population of the world, stood them side by side in the state of Texas, 
each person would have 1000 square feet. We are also told through various 
media sources, that we are using up the earths precious resources. 

     Yet we have the technology to find a license plate on a car by use of 
a satellite. We have the technology for our government to listen to every 
phone call going on in the United States by use of a computer.  This 
computer has about 400 key words, that if it picks up on any of these 
words, will record the phone call.  We have the technology to put a 
computer chip contain all information on a person  in the back of their 
hand the size of a grain of rice .  We have the technology to put all 
information on a person on a strip in the back of their license, that can 
be run though a little machine and call up all info on that person.  Is the 
media trying to tell us that we don't have the ability to use the earths 
precious resources wisely to feed and cloth everyone on the planet?  I 
mean, our government pays farmers not to grow food.  Food in third world 
countries is stored in buildings and left to rot.  What is going on here? 

     What would be the purpose of stressing a fact that isn't even true? 
For those of you folks who have read the Iron Mountain Report, you will 
notice that they stress that the population would have to be at a 
controllable level.  They give many examples on how the population could be 
brought down to a level that would be controllable.  The simple fact is 
that there are simply too many people on the earth to be controlled at this 
point. 

     The following information is taken from the report written by Dr. J 
Coleman, (copyright 1992: 2533 North Carson Street, Carson City, NV 89706) 
"Global 2000: A Blueprint For Global Genocide".  I will be using quotes out 
of the report that should get every reader thinking. 

     In the first paragraph of the report Dr. Coleman wrote, he stated, "In 
1979 I received a copy of a massive document commissioned by the Club of 
Rome and written by Cyrus Vance, three days after President James Earl 
Carter accepted it as official U.S. Policy....Global 2000 was unknown 
outside the Committee of 300 and carefully chosen official inside U.S. 
Government circles...." Keep in mind that many of the ideas for "Goals 
2000" came from 19th century thinkers and writers such as Jeremy Bentham, 
William Petty-the Earl of Shelburne, H.G. Wells and Lord Bertrand Russell. 
(page one, paragraph three) 

     "In his book 'The Impact of Science on Society' Russell expounded his 
views on how the world's population ought to be controlled, so as not to 
become a threat to the privileged rulers...." (page three, paragraph five) 

     "We are also witnessing the Great Plagues of 1987-2000 in the form of 
AIDS, herpes, cholera, smallpox, tuberculosis....Aids, as we know, is an 
artificially induced virus which in effect is a cancer of the blood.The 
first experiments were conducted in Africa on the border of Sierra Leone 
and Nigeria..." (page four and five paragraph's five and one) 

     "...namely that the world is populated with too many redundant people 
who must not be allowed to procreate and consume scarce natural 
resources..."  (page five paragraph five) 

     "..jobless people be confined in concentration camps, run by a join 
stock company for profit....Once committed to concentration camps, inmates 
would never leave there alive." (Page six, paragraph two) 

     "Bentham, Shelburne, Wells and Russell hated the idea of education for 
the masses....systems in operation that would allow people to have a 
vocabulary of no more than 500 words....might help to explain why Alexander 
King of the Club of Rome was commissioned to destroy education in 
America.....A destructed education system qualifying millions who can 
barely read and write....will ensure a society in which the majority can 
and will be easily manipulated by men like President Bush, Cyrus Vance, 
Lord Carrington and James Baker III." (page six, paragraph five) 

     "The First and Second World Wars were wars designed to kill 
millions....were not successful enough hence the new methods outlined in 
the Global 2000 Report." (page seven, paragraph two) 

     "the mechanism of agriculture and the industrialization of the world 
was a terrible mistake....it has led to, and presently supports, a mass of 
people who perform no indispensable service....consuming the limited 
resources and destroying the environment of the globe....which they...the 
Committee of 300 representing the 'preordained leaders' of the world, say 
is theirs.....the remedy...lies in destroying an economy based upon 
agricultural and industrial expansion, because these support larger and 
larger populations of unwanted 'useless eaters'." (page seven, paragraph 
seven) 

     "The 'surplus population' thus created is targeted for death as 
'useless eaters' in terms so clearly expressed in the Global 2000 Report." 
(page eight, paragraph four) 

     "By the year 2000 the world SHALL have rid itself of at least 100 
million 'useless eaters' and by the year 2050, the number culled SHALL 
amount to not less then 400 million." (Page nine, paragraph four) 

     "By the year 2000...cases of AIDS in America will have reached 10 
million, with millions more dying of AIDS-related diseases like 
tuberculosis, meningitis, cholera and more than likely, from bubonic 
plague. These events were planned and they are ongoing." (Page nine 
paragraph five) 

     The quotes I have given from Dr. Coleman's report sound pretty 
unbelievable.  Or do they?  Let's take a look at what is happening  in our 
country.   In the report, Dr. Coleman mentioned abortion and the gay life 
style.  Abortion has killed about 36 million babies. Many in America have 
been conditioned to believe this is not murder, but it has reduce America's 
population by 36 million.  The gay life style was encouraged, because with 
same sex partners, there is no procreation. 

     The education system in America as "dumb downed" our children so much 
that people are going to and graduating from college who can't read. 
Outcomebased Education does not teach the basics of reading, writing and 
arithmetic.  It is training our children to become "global citizens". 

     The environmental movement is bringing man down to a level lower than 
the animals.  In public schools, children are being taught to worship 
"Mother Earth".  People can no longer do with their property what they 
want, but are accountable to the government if they want to add a room to 
their house, put a side walk up, cut a tree down. 

     Our weather is being controlled.  Droughts, earthquakes, floods, 
hurricanes are rampant.  People are starving to death because of droughts 
in their countries and the food being shipped to them is being left to rot 
in storage houses. 

     Aids is rampant.  The behaviors that cause the spread of Aids is being 
encouraged by our government. 

     Civilian labor camps are being put up on military installations. Saw 
an interesting article in the Daily News, January 8, 1995.  It was called 
"Doing Time On The Outside".  It talks about using prisoners to do work, 
like construction or road work, while they are in prison to save the 
taxpayers money.  A sign on outside the Department of Corrections said, 
"Inmate Work Crews, Reducing Costs to Taxpayers". As I was reading the 
article, the thought kept going through my mind, "Is this how they are 
going to get people use to seeing prisoner slave labor?" 

     Global 2000 doesn't seem to have a list of people who they want to 
get.  It seems that they consider most of the population "useless eaters". 
I do imagine they will go after people fighting this first.  There was no 
evidence that folks who keep quite and don't try to get the word out would 
be safe.  No one will be safe.  The Committee of 300 believe that the world 
is theirs to do with as they want.  The rest of us are excess baggage. 

     This report reminds me of a scripture verse.  Matthew 24:21-22, "For 
then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the 
world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.  and except those days should be 
shortened, there should no flesh be saved:  but for the elect's sake those 
days shall be shortened."

The Coming Last Days 
 By: Dennis L. Finnan of The World, the Word & You 

 Of all the subjects in the Bible, there is perhaps none of greater 
interest than the subject of Prophecy. Why such an interest? Well,  that's 
obvious. Everyone wants to know what the future holds, what lies ahead, so 
we might plan our lives accordingly to make the future, if possible, more 
secure, stable and of course less threatening. Now prophecy I believe can 
do just that. Its main purpose of presentation in the Bible, is to bring 
the inquirer a sure hope. That is, the hope of God intervening in the 
affairs of men by coming again to the earth to finally rule and reign 
Himself forever and ever. Now, in Bible terms we call this the "Second 
Coming of Christ." It is not so much a singular event as it is a period of 
time when God abruptly stops the autonomous living of His creatures, and 
intervenes to directly accomplish His sovereign and eternal will. Now if 
you are a believer in Jesus Christ, you have the authority and call to look 
forward to this period of time with great anticipation and joy -- for God 
intends it to be just that. And, to help believers in Christ do that, the 
Lord has given us the Book of Revelation to especially help us see what 
lies ahead. Particularly for believers, we see a bright new future that 
awaits us. 

 Therefore, it is important that every true believer in Jesus Christ, 
regardless of their denominational affiliation, understand the fundamentals 
of Bible prophecy. To do that we must catalog what we find the Bible 
teaches on this subject. Of course, as one goes through the 66 inspired and 
inerrant Books that make up our single Bible, one can find a plethora of 
revelations that reveal the future. However no book in the whole Bible 
touches the subject of prophecy more than the Book of "the Revelation of 
Jesus Christ." This is the last book in the New Testament, and is one 
everybody should be acquainted with. So let's examine the book in a brief 
but chronological form, to see what God is telling us about our future that 
lies ahead. 

 The Book of Revelation is a very old book. It is almost 2000 years old. It 
was written before the turn of the first century around 100 AD, penned for 
us by an old man, one of the apostles of the Lord Jesus Himself. Yes, his 
name is John, a man who literally and physically walked with God, our Lord 
Jesus Christ. At this point in his life John was under persecution for his 
faith. He had been banished from the Roman empire's grace and was 
imprisoned on the Isle of Patmos, to be left alone in his last and final 
days. However he was far from being alone. As a dynamic believer in the 
resurrected and living Christ, John was in full communion and fellowship 
with God. This is where we get the book of Revelation. God gave it to him 
in a series of "revelations," or visions. Let's quickly but concisely look 
at this book and see what fresh things it has to say to us as we march 
towards the fantastic 21st Century. 

 There are many differing interpretations of this prophetic book, but I, 
being a fundamentalist, am proud to say I and the historic Christ is behind 
me, together we believe that God's Word is to be literally interpreted. 
However, such literal interpretation carries with it the authority to 
interpret the Bible symbolically where applicable. Such application comes 
by direct permission from the Biblical writers, or by common and clear 
grammatical and historical usage of language. It is precisely here that the 
Book of Revelation gives many people trouble. It is a book of symbolism, 
more than literalism. You see, God intended it to be so because it is a 
book that describes the future. If God literally revealed what was to 
happen and how it would happen, it would disturb and destroy the normal 
course of progressive advancement of the human race. That was not God's 
plan, so God gives us this book with rich symbolic parallels that can be 
understood as one enters the periods of time described therein. 

 Now the Book of Revelation can be broken down into three sections of time. 
In fact, we are told to do this for we read in, 

 Rev 1:19 NIV "Write , therefore, what you have seen, what is now and what 
will take place later." 

 John was told to organize this book, so the human race might know the 
past, present and future, concerning spiritual events. This is exactly what 
we find. 

 In John's series of visions, we find the first chapter of Revelation 
covers the background of things that are past. Then in chapters two and 
three, he reveals to us a series of messages God gave to the churches of 
Jesus Christ during the period of time John was alive. These churches were 
spattered all around Asia Minor and were real literal functioning churches. 
Although these message were specifically given to their needs, they do 
contain prophetic teachings too. However, I believe that is not their main 
purpose. These two chapters are God's communication with them during their 
period of human existence. But then we come to chapters four th

  
rough 
twenty-two. It is here we find God's Word presents what will occur in the 
future. In fact, it was to be so far into the future, that these passage 
still remain a future prediction of things to come. Nothing in Revelation 
chapters 4-22 have yet occurred. So when we read, study and exegete them, 
we must talk in the future tense and realize the symbolism may not be fully 
understood, since the events and happenings have not yet occurred -- and He 
still does not want to clearly reveal the future so as to change it as it 
would normally unfold by human hands and living. Now with that behind us, 
let's look at what lies ahead. 

 In chapters 2-3, God talks to seven of the major churches of Asia Minor. 
In these chapters we can learn some very important truths. I believe the 
most important is that mankind hasn't changed in 2000 years! How Christians 
lived in the first century is very similar to how we live out our lives 
today. The messages to these seven churches therefore can be practically 
applied to us today. Here Jesus Christ begins by personally speaking to His 
flock at the Church of EPHESUS. The Lord summarizes them as the 
"Backslidden Church" (2:1-7). He warned them to return to their first love. 
The love of the Bible, witnessing, and living Christ before others. 

 Next the Lord speaks to the Church of SMYRNA (2:8-11) for there, believers 
were experiencing great persecution that brought poverty and shame. Jesus 
encourages them to remain faithful for He would not forget their labors and 
sacrifices and He revealed a great reward was coming for those who were 
faithful. 

 Third, we see a message to the Church of PERGAMUM (2:12-17). These 
believers were faithful, but they had also become worldly. They began to 
mimic the world, wanting to be like them. Soon they even began to adopt 
secular thinking and actions. The church had been infiltrated by 
"politically correct dogma" and the Lord rebuked them for it. 

 Fourth in Revelation chapters 2-3, God speaks to the Church of THYATIRA 
(2:18-29) as the "Idolatrous Church," for this church had theologically 
defected! It actually begin denying God's Word and teachings. It began by 
ordaining women preachers who became leaders and teachers in their midst -- 
and one in particular had lead many into New Age teachings that directly 
denied the Lord who "bought them with His blood." Jesus warned and rebuked 
them to turn away from this sin, or swift judgment would come. 

 Now to the fifth church the Church of SARDIS (3:1-6), God identifies this 
church as the "Dying Church." They had literally just about forgotten to 
uphold and practice the life giving witness of their faith. They were no 
longer evangelistic, and saw little use for it. In turn it brought about 
their impending death. Jesus had no words of comfort or praise for them 
only warnings and rebuke. 

 Then we find the sixth church the Church of PHILADELPHIA (3:7-13). "Oh" 
what a wonderful vibrant group of believers these were! Jesus had nothing 
but praise for them for they were a strong and "Healthy Church." They kept 
the faith, held fast the Word, and faithfully labored to win souls to 
Christ. Would to God every church today would be like this church. 

 But then lastly, the seventh church is the Church of LAODICEA (3:14-22). 
Jesus called this the "Lukewarm Church." They tried desperately to have a 
foot in both worlds. Not to hot for Christ, it 
 would look bad for them in their communities in which hey lived. They 
didn't want to offend their godless neighbors or public school officials. 
Yet they didn't want to offend God either, so they gave God the "minimum," 
that they thought would keep them known as believers. Yet God said to them 
He would "cast them out of his mouth," as for all who are compromised, 
half-hearted followers! Now that is God's Word in Revelation to the 
churches of John's day. And, since human history often repeats itself, we 
can apply the unique actions and emphasis of these churches to ours today. 

 But now we come to the fourth chapter of Revelation. It is here 
controversy begins. For this chapter exclusively takes us into the far 
future, to a time when multitudes and millions of human beings are "in 
heaven," praising God. Now, when can such a time as this exist? The answer 
is, when God calls the entire Church home! From other Scripture we can 
easily and clearly conclude this fourth chapter is a prediction that the 
Church of Jesus Christ one day, in all fullness will be "caught away" from 
the earth, to be with the Lord (1 Thess 4:13-18). This is called the 
doctrine of "the Rapture." Now, here is the controversy. Everyone does not 
agree when and how the rapture occurs, if at all! However, being a 
fundamentalist and a believer in historic Christianity, we find the book of 
Revelation naturally and literally tells us that Chapter 4 precedes 
chapters 5-22, the final events of human history. Therefore, if one 
naturally believes the whole Bible's record, the Book of Revelation gives 
us a perfect scenario of when the Rapture of the Church occurs. As the last 
portion of Revelation beginning in chapter five reveals a time when God 
intervenes in the godless affairs of men, the church must be raptured 
before this happens! This in eschatology is called the Pre-millennial, 
Pre-Tribulational Rapture view of the Church. That means before the 
Tribulation Period formally begins, God will literally "snatch away" His 
Church in a "twinkling of an eye." That my friend is a future prediction 
and of all future prophecy, is the next step on the events God has planed 
for this world. Literally, one day, perhaps even today, at any moment, the 
trumpet of God will call His Church home and the world will be left to its 
godless, selfish, sinful ways. 

 But then, following this glorious event that begins the Period known as 
the Second Coming of Christ, God promises our world that we will for a 
short time, be left to our own sinful ways. For Chapters 5-20 tells us of 
the almost unbelievable and tragic events that are coming on our world. In 
rich symbolic form we are told God is going to pour out judgments on this 
Christ rejecting world, during a period of seven years. Judgments so 
terrible and horrible, it will be the worst time of human history! A time 
that begins with the promise of human peace, but ends in the wicked 
subjugation of the world to a demon possessed world leader known in the 
Bible as the antichrist, who destroys all hope for humanity's future. 

 Now, three series of judgments are predicted in Revelation that are known 
as: (1) THE SEVEN SEAL JUDGMENTS (5-8) - a time when the fullness of 
today's anti-god ideology blossoms, followed by a massive world war, 
planet-wide famine, terrible disease and plagues and massive global 
anarchy, persecution and martyrdom. 

 Then God promises to unleash on this Christ rejecting world, what the 
Bible calls (2) THE SEVEN TRUMPET JUDGMENTS (8-12). Here the whole creation 
will "vomit up" its distaste for the godless and demonically inspired 
rulership. We are told in these chapters, that the seas will be polluted 
and turned to blood, the sun will become dimmed, celestial bodies will fall 
and invade the earth, the fresh water systems of the planet will be 
polluted, and literally demons previously chained in Hell, will be 
unleashed and allowed to pour out their wicked hatred upon on all the 
godless who rejected Christ and His people. Friend, it will be time not to 
be alive, but ironically, no one will be able to die for a short period of 
time -- all will suffer terribly for their open rebellion and sins. But 
then, the last series of judgments are called by John 

 (3)) THE SEVEN VIAL JUDGMENTS found in chapters (13-18), but specifically 
revealed to us in chapter 16. Here we are told God  begins His plan of 
rescuing the human race from its sin fevered demon infection. Seven plagues 
that repeat what has happened before, but with more intensity, are 
unleashed upon the world! All these judgments pave the way for the final 
world battle called Armageddon. Here wicked unsaved mankind under the demon 
possessed leadership of the antichrist, will attempt to attack God as the 
final moment occurs. At the close of the seven years of tribulation, the 
skies break open and reveal the coming Revelation of the Lord, at what is 
called the Battle of Armageddon. This battle is actually never fought, for 
Revelation 20 tells us upon Christ's return, in an instant by the word of 
His mouth, He slays all sinners who have stood against Him. Then the 
victory is won, the battle is over the godless, the humanists, the 
homosexuals, the immoral, the false religionists, and the irreligious - all 
will have lost the battle to take over this world. And they will be at that 
time, judged and cast into Hell to suffer forever and ever. 

 Now, following this judgment of the nations, and of course the miraculous 
saving of Israel, that is not the emphasis of my thoughts today - God opens 
a new era of human history called the 1000 year reign of Christ, literally 
on the earth. Now my moments with you are almost gone, so what can we say 
to wrap this up? Only one thing. The time for us to consider these things 
is now at hand. I believe we are so close. Will mankind survive and enter 
the 21st century? Many believe God will wind things up when this Millennium 
comes. However, I'm not a date setter, but I am a believer in God's Word, 
for the startling realization that all this coming true is ever more my 
conviction. Therefore, I want to be ready for the coming of the Lord. I 
want my life to count for Christ in '96 as never before. I want to be on 
the vanguard of faithful, and sacrificial service for the King! Oh that 
when He comes, He will find me faithful. Say friend how about you? Will you 
commit by faith to join me? Will you become ever more committed to 
theLord's church and His work? If so, bow with me in a moment of prayer. 

 "Father God, I confess as I look over my life, there is much more I can do 
for you and much more I can be like you in this new year. Come into my 
heart in a fresh and dynamic way Lord, and begin a real revival in me, that 
I might be on "fire" for Christ. May my home, my family my job and my 
witness been seen in a new light that will reveal a dynamic change from 
things in the past. Oh God, use me to be a vibrant witness for your Word 
and call, and anoint me afresh with the power of the Spirit to be ready 
when You call. This I pray and ask in the authority and Name of my Savior 
Jesus Christ. Amen." 

 If you can say amen to that with me - then be ready for a dynamic new 
beginning! And, may God grant this to you for Jesus sake. Amen. 

 As we close I do not want to leave out those who have yet to enter God's 
fold. If you cannot remember a time when you dedicated your life to Christ, 
you surely don't want to be here should the Rapture come tomorrow. All 
these terrible things that lie ahead will be your portion for life, before 
you are cast into an everlasting Hell. No friend, God wants better for you, 
and He now offers you pardon, if you'll come to Jesus Christ confessing 
your sins, and calling upon Him to save you. That's exactly what I did more 
than 20 years ago as I listened to a radio preacher in my car while 
traveling. I paused and prayed for salvation and forgiveness, I dedicated 
my life to Christ, and right there God changed me and accepted me, and 
since then I've had the joy and deep peace that has been my guide and stay. 
I pray you too will ask Christ into your life before its too late. God 
grant this to you here and now - for it is God's accepted time.

Abortion - The Lie Some Beleive 
By: Wayne Merritt  (A1nOnly@ aol.com) 

Greetings, 

I wanted to write to you all about some more New Age information entering 
the church. But, as I read my local paper I noticed that the Partial Birth 
Abortion bill (DNX) is heading to the Presidents Desk and rumours say Mr 
Clinton will veto it, allowing this procedure to be another means of 
abortion. You know the procedure if you have been following this. It turns 
the babies body around in the womb, pulls the body partially out with 
forceps, up to the neck, leaving the head in the womb, then the doctor 
inserts a instrument into the back of the head, making a hole wide enough 
to use a high power vacuum if you will, to suck the brains out and deflate 
the head. All in the name of saving the mom!!!! 

Let me tell you a story before I move on: 

Mrs Jones just delivered her 3rd child, the child was 48 hours old and home 
from the hospital. The child was up all night and Mrs Jones was exhausted 
the next day. Well the husband, Mr Jones, getting most of the sleep the 
night before decides to take the other two children out for Ice Cream while 
his wife took a afternoon nap while the baby slept. This was much 
appreciated by his wife. While Mr Jones and the two older children were out 
enjoying there time together, Mrs Jones was awakened by the fire alarms. As 
she  rose, the house was filled with smoke.  She was disillusioned and 
panicky.  She got her facultys in order and ran towards the babys room, 
hardly being able to see through the smoke. As she open the door she saw 
the fire was ablaze in that room, an inferno. She Ran in the Room, risking 
her life for her child, knowing the room pretty well was the only thing 
that got her to the crib. She picked up the baby, choking and she noticed 
her pant leg was aflame. Not caring she crawled to the front door her leg 
must have been on fire it was so hot. Managing to open the front door, she 
crawled out to the porch, a neighbor present took the baby, and dragged Mrs 
Jones to safety. The neighbor already had called the fire dept and police 
and managed to give mouth to mouth to the baby, who was choking and dowse 
the fire from Mrs Jones pant leg. The story ends that both Mom and Baby 
were okay and by the Grace of God saved from this tradegy. 

The MOM risked her life for her Child.  Does this story come as a surprise 
to you. Wouldn't all mom's, who are in danger, risk there life for there 
very own? As a Husband and Dad, would Mr Jones risked his life for his 
wife, if he came home during this time? 

As I read Ephesians 5:25 I am told by Paul that I, as a husband, are to 
risk my Life for my Wife as Chirst gave Himself for the Church. 

I would give my Life for my wife, and children. This is not only what is 
commanded of me, but what is in my heart.  My wife would give her life for 
our children. Everyone of them. This is what is in her heart. Why, all of a 
sudden, is it different by this "Save the Mom" abortion lie? Why would our 
president sign such a procedure?  Well, Clinton said that if it would save 
the mother this would be the right avenue to take. NO! ITS NOT! ITS EVIL, 
ITS WRONG! Doesn't Jesus Christ command us in a different view 
completely......... The long term effects, Not in the MIND but in the 
heart, of this mother whom chose to abort the baby for her own life would 
be devastating. This is because God knows us, He knows what is right for 
us, and that is why HE commanded us, in these tradgic situations, to give 
our lives for others. What a tradegy it would be for anyone to get into a 
decision of Life or Death..... But what would you choose? I know what your 
would choose, cause the truth of the Gospel is in you. 

We take the Free Gift from God, thats Jesus's suffering and final victory 
over sin. 

Did Jesus Love the Church (his Bride) enough to die for it? 

Do End Time Saints Love Jesus enough to die for the truth? 

Will those who accept Jesus after the Rapture be put to death for HIM? 

Its not hard to discern this abortion issue. Its a lie from that pit called 
hell. Its confusion, murder, pain, suffering and unjust! 

 I wish I could be more optimistic when I write, but its so so hard. The 
ways of the world lead to death, and then death again! AND I see souls 
daily that are misinformed, victims of the lie, not only abortion, but lies 
from the world. My heart goes out to them, I want them so badly to know the 
truth in Jesus Christ. I was one of these lost souls, and now I am found, 
as the song goes. For me, I am the model of optimisism, but for the lost 
world, I feel in my heart for them. This is why I write in sorrow and 
agony, not for us, but for them. 

In His Blessed Name.....

Romans 6:23 

Editor Note: At first I was not going to present this article, but after 
some prayer and consulting with the author and friends, I put it in. I 
really was up in the air about this topic but after talking to Wayne and 
another one of my confidants they both reminded me of a few verses. One was 
2 Tim 3:1-5, these verses  talk about the Godlessness in the last days. 
The second verse was in Galations 5:19-21, this section talks about the 
fruits of the flesh. Wayne and my friends both opened my eyes, and I 
recognize the fact that this "political" topic, is a topic of prophecy. As 
Wayne told me "it (abortion) is not the New World Order or Bio Chips, but 
it is a part of Bible prophecy ."  In a resent letter to one of my readers, 
I myself told that person that we must look at everything and not put on 
those blinders. So I want to thank Wayne and my friends who advise me for 
opening my eyes and helping in taking off MY blinders.

THE TRUTH IS IN THE AIR 
Author Unknown 

How Near Are We to Christ's Return? 

Jesus gives us a clue as to the time, or season, of His return in the book 
of Matthew. He refers to Israel as the fig tree and tells us when Israel 
once again becomes a nation, as they did on May 14, 1948 after nearly 1900 
years of scattered exile, this generation shall not pass without witnessing 
His return. We are living in that era now (Matthew 24:32-51). 

	The book of Revelation, written by John on the Isle of Patmos, contains 
detailed prophecies of the events surrounding Christ's return, many of 
which are being fulfilled every day. For example, John foresees an army of 
200 million advancing from the East. China now has that many. According to 
Revelation 16:12, this army will cross the Euphrates River on dry ground. 
In 1990, Turkey built a dam which could make this possible. Earthquakes, 
plagues, weather changes and a falling away of the churches are all 
occurring as prophesied. Christians look up-you redemption draweth nigh! 

	You can expect perilous times from now until the end. As for the time of 
His return, no man shall know the day or the hour, but we should all heed 
the signs. Paul says in I Thessalonians 5:4-6, "Let us not sleep as others 
do but watch and be sober." Whether you believe it or not, God has set an 
appointed time with destiny which cannot be evaded or postponed. Since the 
turn of the century we have seen world wars, civil wars, famine communism, 
dictatorships, terrorism and the collapse of family valued. It has already 
started to happen and will get much worse. 

	The good news is you can have faith in Jesus, who shed His blood for all 
mankind and who promises eternal life (Romans 6:23). His promise is found 
in I Thessalonians 4:16-18. 

The Thrilling Promise from Jesus 

	"For the Lord Himself shall descend form heaven with a shout, with the 
voice of an archangel and with trumpet call of God; and the dead in Christ 
shall rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up 
together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air; and we shall 
forever be with the Lord. Wherefore, console one another with these words." 

How the Establishment of the New World Order Fulfills Prophecy 

	Scripture forewarns the revival of the Roman Empire as a sign that 
end-time events are in motion. The result will be a One World government, 
One World economy and One World religion. Read Daniel 2,4,7,and 9. The New 
World Order which world leaders so enthusiastically herald will be led by 
ten nations. A charismatic leader will arise and take control of this 
confederacy by confirming a peace covenant between Israel and many nations. 
(Daniel 9:27). He will be the antichrist. A false messiah. The Bible says 
this man will be mighty and perform miracles. If possible even the very 
elect will be deceived (Matthew 24:2-4). With the calamity surrounding the 
establishment of this new world order, (read Ezekial 38 and 39), peace and 
prosperity will reign for 3.5 years. Then all hell will break loose. The 
antichrist will set himself up in the Jewish temple as God. The ensuing 3.5 
years of tribulation will be so severe that few will survive. 

	The good news is, the church of Jesus Christ will be spared from the seven 
year reign of the antichrist and false prophet. All born again Christians 
will be with Jesus during this period and then return with Him to triumph 
at the final Battle of Armageddon (Revelation 3:10-11). Jesus will then 
establish His kingdom on earth for 1000 years (Zechariah 14). 

	Beware of New Age philosophies and cults trying to deceive. The Bible 
warns of these: "Therefor, test the spirits and make sure they are of God." 
Instead they teach that you yourself can achieve Christ consciousness or 
become Godlike. They believe that in the year 2000 they will usher in a New 
Age kingdom and rule. Furthermore, they admit this cannot be done without 
first removing Christians from the world, a process wickedly referred to as 
'spiritual cleansing. 'Dear Christian brothers and sisters, stand firm in 
your faith. 

The Countdown Has Started 

	The Epistle of Barnabas and many other early Christian writings taught 
there would be 6000 years of man's unjust self-governing then a 1000 year 
Millennium in which Christ would rule. Victorinus, Bishop of Petau, wrote 
in around A.D. 270; "the true and just Sabbath should be observed the 
seventh Millennium of years. Wherefore, to those seven days the Lord 
attributed to each a thousand years". (2 Peter 3:8 and Psalm 90) The 
antichrist will rule for seven years. (Daniel 9:27) If a peace pact is 
confirmed soon, where does that place the Rapture of the church? Where does 
that leave you? 

	If you are left on earth during the seven year reign of the antichrist 
(false messiah, do not accept the mark of the beast, the number 666, or you 
will be condemned eternally to Hell. (Revelation 14:9-10) 

	We are living in the most critical time in the history of the world. The 
proliferation of nuclear weapons, ethnic  tensions and aggressive behavior 
are out of control. As a spiritually reborn Christian you have nothing to 
fear. You can be with Jesus during the terrible rule of the antichrist and 
then return with Christ when He sets up His kingdom, where all is peace and 
harmony. If you think this article is a fairy tale, read Revelation 
chapters 13, 14, and 19. 

How Can You Be Sure You Are Ready? 

	My friend, Jesus did it all on the cross, without the shedding of His 
blood there would be no redemption (Romans 5:80. Jesus said;"I am the way, 
the truth, and the life, no man cometh unto the Father but by me." (John 
14:6) Christ also told Nicodemus; "you must be born again to see the 
Kingdom of God." (John 3:3) Become born again today and live you life for 
Jesus and spend eternity with the Lord. The Rapture is near, Jesus could 
come today! Our prayer is that you will be ready and that multitudes find 
the narrow path that prepares them for this final event. Read John 3:16. 

If you desire to have a personal relationship with God through His Son 
Jesus Christ, please pray this prayer: Dear God I am a sinner and repent of 
my sins. I need Jesus Christ to come into my life and become my Lord and 
Savior. I accept His sacrifice on the cross and the penalty and payment for 
my sins. Thank you for loving me and for giving me a second chance. I give 
my life to you in Jesus name. 

"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." Read 
Romans 10:9-11 & 10:13, John 14:1-3, Revelation 3:20, I Peter 2:2, Hebrews 
10:25, Philippians 4:6-7, Ephesians 2:8,9

COMPUTER'S AND THE MARK OF THE BEAST 
By: Robert Smith 

Many advanced Computers are available with many designations, but one is 
especially interesting. NCR produced a six-core memory computer with 60 
bytes per word in conjunction with six bits to the character. It is named 
and advertised as the 6-60-6, which defines the size and shape of the 
computer. The only way this can be pronounced is six sixty-six (666). In 
computer language, 666 has a unique significance.  A computer is an 
information retrieval system, and all of its information is stored as 
numbers. A computer's memory cell has only two states--on and off, or 
mathematically 1 and 0. Thus, every number must be represented in 1s and 
Os. We use a decimal system based on 10; thus, it has 10 symbols: O, 1, 2, 
3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. Computers use a binary system using two symbols (O and 
1). To manage large numbers, computers use a binary coded decimal system 
(BCD), which consists of groups of four digits, to make up all numbers. By 
comparing the groups of numbers listed below one can find each system's 
equivalent symbol. Thus, OOO1, OO11, O111, O1O1 in the binary coded decimal 
system is equal to our decimal system number 1,375. 

DECIMAL SYSTEM BINARY SYSTEM 

 
O             =    		OOOO 
1             =          	OOO1 
2             =         	OO1O 
3             =         	OO11 
4             =         	O1OO 
5             =          	O1O1 
6             =          	O11O 
7             =          	O111 
8             =           	1OOO 
9             =          	1OO1 

(For various reasons, some computers use Base 8 (O-7) and therefore do not 
use the last two symbols shown.) 

As shown in the BCD system, the number 6 is represented by O11O. This is 
unique because O11O written backwards or upside-down is still O11O. The 
only other number in the BCD system with the same property is its 
complement 1OO1, or 9. (However, not every computer counts past 7.). This 
consistency is the same in every country in the world, unaffected by 
language because every computer speaks the same language of "1s and "Os." 
Thus, O11O, O11O, O11O is 666 universally.  In the Book of Revelation, John 
said that 666 is the mark of the Beast. This number also represents the 
universal consistency of the computers that will be required to control the 
world's finances and thus the world's people. When John wrote 1,900 years 
ago, he did not know anything about the binary number system, computers, or 
why computers would require binary coded decimals. Yet, he stated 
emphatically that the mark of the beast is 666. The Government's system for 
identification uses 18 digits, the last nine of which are the Social 
Security number. Virtually every citizen in the country over the age of 1 
will be forced to have a Social security number. Starting in 1990, every 
child over one year old must have a Social Security number to qualify as a 
dependent on tax returns. Preceding this 9-digit Social Security number are 
3 digits corresponding to one's telephone area code. Obviously, the whole 
world is tied by phone; every barren deserts with no inhabitants have area 
codes. In front of these numbers is a country code; for America it is 11O. 
From this single, universally consistent number, the government will 
instantly know a person's country, region, and identity. Does that seem 
logical so far? But that accounts for only 15 digits, and the system is 
based on 18. The missing 3-digit code specifies that you are in the system: 
666. Is that enough to concern you? The point is that 666 is a significant 
and important part of what the future is going to hold. The Bible 
prophesied it.

Note: This is for all the people who are confused about the World 
Government movement. It is not a conspiracy, in fact it is open and in the 
public records. The Bible speaks about this as well in Daniel and 
Revelation.  -- Ray PZ --

A Brief Chronology of the World Federalist Movement in the United States 
Congress 

     The following information is documented in "Conspiracy of Silence: An 
American's Guide to Congressional Documentation of the World Government 
Movement in Congress," by Richard R. Biondi, Operation Patriot Spectre. 

                       WORLD  FEDERATION? 

     --  Article 109 of the United Nations Charter provides that 2/3 of the 
General Assembly  or any  9 Members  of the  Security Council can call  a 
general conference--or world  constitutional convention--to "strengthen the 
Charter." Whereas our Founding Fathers were called to Philadelphia to 
strengthen the Articles of Confederation and emerged with  the Constitution 
of the  United States, proponents  of  world government wish call a general 
conference to strengthen the United Nations Charter into a world 
constitution. 

     --  Since 1945, individuals representing special interests have 
lobbied the United States Congress and the President of the United States 
to take the lead in transforming the United Nations into a world federation 
open to all nations  with defined and limited powers adequate to preserve 
peace and prevent aggression through the enactment, interpretation, and 
enforcement of world law. 

     --  From 1949 - 51, Alan Cranston served as president of the United 
World Federalists and helped convince 111 Members of the House--including 
Rep. John F. Kennedy  and Rep. Gerald Ford, 22 Members of the 
Senate--including Sen. Hubert Humphrey, and 25 State 
legislatures--including the state of Washington, to strengthen the United 
Nations into a world government by cosponsoring world federalist 
resolutions. 

     --  On July 21, 1955, President Eisenhower offered the Soviet Union a 
comprehensive disarmament verification system known as "Open  Skies." Under 
the  proposal, the U.S. and the U.S.S.R.would have exchanged their entire 
national defense blueprints and allowed for aerial verification of 
disarmament compliance.  Khrushchev rejected the proposal. 

     --  On November 21, 1955, the U.N. General Assembly decided that "a 
General Conference to review the Charter shall be held at an appropriate 
time."   The Soviet  Bloc voted  against the  U.N. Resolution. 

     -- In 1960, Senator Joseph Clark introduced S. Con. Res. 83 which 
called for the United States to take the lead in opening Article 109 to 
"strengthen" the  United Nations into a world federation. Prominent 
cosponsors of S. Con. Res. 83  included Senators Byrd of West Virginia, 
Church, Humphrey, Kefauver, Kennedy, McCarthy, and Symington. 

     --  On September 21, 1961, President John F. Kennedy called for 
general and complete disarmament and the establishment of the international 
machinery to insure a just and lasting  peace. In essence, President 
Kennedy called for world government. Once again, Khrushchev rejected the 
world government/disarmament proposal offered by the United States. 

     --  In 1968, Senator Joseph Clark was defeated for reelection. In 
1969, Sen. Clark became the president of the United World Federalists. 

     --  Also in 1968, former president of the United World Federalists, 
Alan Cranston, was elected U.S. Senator from the state of California. 

     --  In 1971, Senator Cranston introduced Senate Concurrent Resolution 
45, which was essentially a refined version of S. Con. Res. 83 from 1960. 
Prominent members of the Washington establishment that supported Senate 
Concurrent Resolution 45  in 1971 included Senators Bentson, Byrd of West 
Virginia,  Church, Sen. Robert Dole, Humphrey, Inouye, Kennedy, McGovern, 
Mondale, Packwood, Pell, Ribicoff, Schweiker, and Taft. 

     -- A similar resolution was introduced into the House of 
Representatives, known as H. Con. Res. 258. HCR  258--introduced by Rep. 
Hungate--had a total of 131  cosponsors in  the House  of Representatives, 
they include Representatives Anderson (now president of the World 
Federalist Association), Dellums, Drinan, Foley, Kemp, Mathias, Michel, 
Mitchell, Sarbanes, and Symington. In 1972, Walter Hoffman of the World 
Federalists--USA and Ronald Glossop--chairman of the Greater St. Louis 
Chapter of World Federalists were invited to testify before the Committee 
on Foreign Affairs. Here is the text of SCR 45 -- almost identical to HCR 
258: 

*** 
Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives Concurring), 
         Whereas  the United Nations General  Assembly voted on December 
11, 1970, to request  the Secretary General to "invite Member States to 
communicate to him, before July 1, 1972, their views and suggestions on the 
review of the Charter of the United Nations" (General Assembly Resolution 
2697 (XXV)): Now, therefore, be it 
         Resolved  by the  Senate (the  House of  Representatives 
Concurring), That it is the sense of the Congress that-- 
     (1) The United States should continue in its historic role of 
providing world leadership in working for modernization and reform of the 
United Nations, and toward the establishment and preservation of a 
civilized family of nations in accordance  with the highest aspirations of 
mankind. 
     (2) The President is hereby requested to initiate high-level studies 
in the executive branch of the Government to determine what changes should 
be made in the Charter of the United Nations, to promote a just and lasting 
peace through  the development of the rule of law, including protection of 
individual rights and liberties as well as the field of war prevention. The 
President is further requested to report to the Committee on Foreign 
Relations of the Senate and the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House 
of Representatives before June 30, 1972, the results of such studies. 
     (3) The Government of the United States should take the lead in 
calling for a conference to review the United Nations Charter in accordance 
with article 109 of  the Charter, not later  than 1974. 
*** 

     --  In 1973, Sen. Alan Cranston, along with Sen. Taft, introduced S. 
Res. 74, 75, 76, 77, 78. Sen. Alan Cranston wanted the United States to 
give up its sovereign right  to oppose the decisions of the International 
Court of Justice . 
     1) SR 74: Resolution expressing the sense of the Senate with respect 
to the submission of  United States territorial disputes to the 
International Court of Justice. 
     2) SR 75:  Resolution expressing the sense of the Senate with respect 
to the adjudication of disputes arising  out of  the interpretation or 
application of international agreements. 
     3) SR 76:  Resolution expressing the sense of the Senate wit  respect 
to establishing regional courts  within the International Court of Justice, 
increasing  the categories of parties which may request advisory opinions 
from the International Court of Justice, selecting Judges of the 
International Court of Justice, and having the InternationalCourt of 
Justice consider cases outside the Hague. 
     4) SR 77:  Resolution expressing the sense of the Senate with respect 
to the Jurisdiction  of the  International Court  of Justice. 
     5) SR  78: Resolution expressing the sense of the Senate with respect 
to access to the International Court of Justice. "1) to permit private 
individuals, business organizations, and  other legal entities or persons 
to accept  the compulsory  jurisdiction of the Court." 

In order to have a global rule of law, a supranational body  must have the 
ability to enact, interpret and enforce world law. Over the years, the 
language of the world federalist resolutions  have been deliberately 
reduced to vague and idealistic language. In order to understand them, you 
have to understand the history of the world federalist movement itself. 

     --  In 1974, Rep. Robert Drinan introduced H. Con. Res. 417--the Right 
to Peace Resolution-- 

*** 
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate Concurring,) 
That-- 
   (1) A world without war is possible. 
    (2) In such a world nations  will rely for their external protection on 
world institutions strong enough to stop any nation from making war, 
capable of assuring peaceful and just settlements of disputes, and reliable 
enough to be entrusted with such powers. 
   (3) It is the policy of the United States to initiate and to implement 
with other nations practical steps consistent with our commitment to the 
United Nations for the expeditious realization of such institutions. 
*** 

     -- Rep. Drinan was chairman of the World Order Strategy Committee of 
the Members of Congress for Peace through Law. Sen. Bob Packwood served as 
the vice-chairman.  Rep. Drinan introduced HCR 417 as a stepping stone to 
strengthening  the United  Nations into a world federation. 40 Members of 
the House of Representatives cosponsored the above resolution, including 
Representatives Brown of California, Dellums, Hungate, Lehman, and 
Symington. 

     --  In 1975, the world federalists were invited to testify before  the 
Subcommittee on International Organizations and Movements of the Committee 
on  Foreign Affairs. Luther Evans, representing the World Federalists, USA, 
testified. The President of the World Federalists, USA, at this time, was 
former Sen.  Joseph  Clark--the  Senator  who introduced  SCR 83  (world 
federalists resolution) in 1960. Rosemary Ginn, representing  an 
organization known as the U.S. National  Commission or UNESCO--which 
advocates  the concept of world citizenship--submitted a list of members of 
the Commission. Sen. Robert  Dole  and Sen.  Lloyd Bentson  were members 
of the  U.S. National Commission for UNESCO. 

     -- The world federalist attempted again to influence the Committee on 
Foreign Relations in 1979 during a hearing known as United Nations Reform, 
held on October 26, 1979.  Walter Hoffman, representing the Campaign for 
United Nations Reform, and Donald Keys, representing the World Association 
of World  Federalists, testified before the Committee. 

     --  There were no world federalist hearings held from 1980 - 1993. One 
can speculate that the world federalist movement went underground in order 
to confuse its  opposition. This is quite plausible considering that this 
information is  not discussed  in our public educational establishment, in 
the "mainstream"  media, and even Sen. Bob Dole has engaged in a conspiracy 
of silence.  Will he admit he supported a world federalist resolution? 

     --  President Clinton has furthered the world federalist cause  by 
implementing  PDD  -  25.    PDD  -  25  shifts   more responsibility to 
the United Nations by reducing U.S. financial burden for peacekeeping 
missions, providing U.S. military  bases for U.N. training operations, and 
allowing U.S. troops to  serve under U.N. command. 

     -- On October 19, 1994, the Gorbachev Foundation USA--which is chaired 
by  Alan Cranston and George Shultz--released the Global Security 
Programme. Alan Cranston is the head of the U.S. delegation for the Global 
Security Project. Their  proposal includes "New security and peacekeeping 
arrangements designed to reduce perceived needs to rely on nuclear weapons, 
including measures to strengthen the authority of the  United Nations and 
regional security institutions." 

     -- On October 24, 1994, the House Subcommittee on International 
Security, International  Organizations and  Human Rights of the Committee 
on Foreign Affairs invited George Shultz of the Gorbachev Foundation USA, 
Ernst  B. Hass--an  integration theorist, and Mr. Tad Daley--member of  the 
World Federalist Association and director of the Campaign for a New United 
Nations Charter to testify before the hearing known as United Nations  at 
50. 

-- In 1995, Sen. Bob Dole push the G.A.T.T. Treaty (World  Trade 
Organization) through the Senate. Is it not one of the powers of Congress 
to regulate foreign commerce? Why would Sen. Dole and the Washington 
Establishment give this essential right to a supranational authority? 

What Proponents of World Government Have Said 

"The plain fact is that the creation of some sort of world government is 
inevitable. The world has been moving toward some form of world-wide 
political institution ever since man stood on his hind feet and began to 
walk. The areas governed have grown steadily larger, commencing with the 
family, through the tribe, to the village, then the state, and now to the 
nation as we  know it. Plainly the world has shrunk so small, with 
transportation so rapid, with methods of destruction so violent, that it 
cannot long continue as a jungle  of anarchistic nations."    --  Alan 
Cranston, president of the United World Federalists, 1950.  Taken from: US 
Congress,  Senate, Subcommittee of the Committee on Foreign Relations. 
Revision of the United Nations  Charter. Hearings, 81st Congress, Second 
Session, February 2 - 20th, 1950. 

"World Government is not only possible, it is inevitable; and when it 
comes, it will appeal to patriotism in its truest, in its only sense, the 
patriotism of men who love their national heritage so deeply that they with 
to preserve them in safety for the common good."  --  Sir Peter Ustinov, 
president,  World Federalist Movement. Taken from  Glossop, Ronald. World 
Federation? A Critical Analysis of Federal World Government, London: 
McFarland, 1993, inside cover. 

"It has been suggested that 1995, the fiftieth anniversary of the Charter, 
would be a good time for such a conference [Article 109], especially since 
there are some things which definitely need to be changed such as a 
reference to the no-longer existent "Union of Soviet Socialist Republics" 
in Article 23 and the reference to Japan and Germany as "enemy states" in 
Article 53. A conference to discuss possible changes in  the Charter could 
conceivably turn out to be somewhat parallel to the 1787  meeting where the 
U.S. Constitution was developed even though the meeting had been called by 
the Continental Congress only to consider amendments to the Articles of 
Confederation, not to draw up a new federal constitution. A meeting to 
review the UN Charter might become a meeting to consider a constitution for 
a world federation." Taken from: Glossop, Ronald. World Federation? A Critic 
al Analysis of Federal World Government, London: McFarland, 1993, p. 194.

Below is the article "Gorby Gives Birth to the New World Order", written by 
one of the CDR's networkers, Lu Haynes of Washington State.  The article 
was originally distributed electronically by Steve Washam 
<steve.washam@wwwhbbs.com. 

Lu attended the latest "State of the World" forum hosted by the Gorbachev 
Foundation/USA which is headquartered at the Presidio (former US Naval 
Base) in San Francisco.  This article is an excellent piece in that it 
gives us a shocking inside view of the movement to bring America under a 
one-world  government.  It is especially valuable in countering the "oh, 
you're a  conspiracy nut" attacks by the main-stream establishment press 
(i.e.,  Limbaugh) whenever the issue is mentioned. 

Keep in mind that Gorby said in 1987: 

     "In October, 1917, we parted with the Old World, rejecting it once 
      and for all.  We are moving toward a new world, the world of 
      communism.  We shall never turn off that road." 

And in a 1989 speech to the Soviet Congress he stated: 

     "I am a communist, a convinced communist; for some that may be 
      a fantasy, but for me, that is my main goal." 

And finally, the 1/23/93 edition of the Cape Cod Times quoted Gorby as saying: 

     "The future needs...  international institutions acting on behalf of 
      all.  A higher institution that operates on a consensus.  Such a 
      choice would narrow the independence many believe the United States 
      now enjoys...  President Clinton will be a success if he uses American 
      Influence to accomplish this transformation of international 
      responsibility and increase significantly the role of the United 
      Nations...  He will be a great president - if he can make America the 
      creator of a New World Order based on consensus." 

This is the man whose Gorbachev Foundation/USA is [as he announced in his 
"Accepting the Keys to the Presidio" speech] the foundation which has 
created a national task force on U.S. military base closings. [Source: San 
Jose Mercury News, April 21, 1993]  For those who don't know, the closure 
of our military bases,  eventual complete demise of our military and 
transformation of the U.N. Peace Force into the strongest military force in 
the world is the current policy of the U.S. government as per State 
Department Publication 7277, Public Laws 87-297 and 101-216.

Gorbachev is "Giving Birth" to a New World Order 
by Lu Haynes 

January 12, 1996 

The convening of the State of the World Forum, hosted by the Gorbachev 
Foundation/USA, was not earth-shaking news. Dignitaries trekking to the 
posh Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco from 50 far flung countries, most 
paying $5,000 to be a part of the prestigious gathering, was deemed not 
newsworthy.  As a matter of fact, an examination of the two leading San 
Francisco newspapers revealed very sparse reporting of the Sept. 27th to 
Oct. 1st event.  The Bay area TV coverage was scarce as well, leading one 
to assume that San Francisco, and the rest of the nation, stifled a 
collective yawn at the goings on.  This underwhelming response to a group 
who claim that at this momentous juncture in history, "We are giving birth 
to the first Global Civilization" whets the curiosity. 

One of the purposes of this, the first of several forums, was to provide 
meaningful interaction between the participants.  The intellectuals get 
familiar with the business executives. Has-been statespersons 
(euphemistically called "senior statespersons" by the Forum organizers) get 
to know the New Age scientists.  The New Age spiritualists build up trust 
with the philosophers.  The entertainers get spiritual with the youth. 
Vietnamese Buddhism meets Mongolian Buddhism meets Cambodian Buddhism. 
Consensus, and a new view of what reality is, is born. This was a 
'by-public-exposure' kind of meeting. 

The 500 attendees were exclusively hand-picked by Mikhail S. Gorbachev, 
Convening Chair of the State of the World Forum, and Jim Garrison, 
President of the Forum.  Mr. Garrison, President of the Gorbachev 
Foundation/USA, felt he was assembling "some of  the most thoughtful 
individuals in the world...to analyze the current state of the world."  and 
"to articulate the fundamental priorities, values and actions necessary to 
constructively shape our common future."  Garrison, founder of the elusive 
Christic Institute, also is credited with the edict that "we are going to 
end up with world government" and "we have to govern and regulate  human 
interaction." 

Carefully screened and Forum-accredited reporters were the only 
non-participants allowed to witness the likes of Esalen's Michael Murphy, 
"country boy" John Denver, millionaire motivator, philosopher Tony Robbins, 
Shirley McLaine (of "Irma La Douce" and Out on a Limb fame) and her 
sidekick, Dennis Weaver, massage the egos of the Forum's Co-Chairs: the 
Presidents of Costa Rica and Kyrgyzstan; Prime Minister of Turkey; ex-Prime 
Ministers of Japan and the Netherlands, Thabo Mbeki, Executive Deputy 
President of South Africa; Peace Prize winner and Marxist feminist 
Rigoberta Menchu Tum; and Chairman of the Earth Council Maurice Strong, 
media tycoon and world citizen Ted Turner, ex-Secretary's of State George 
Shultz and James Baker III.  Gorbachev, speaking on the first night after a 
candlelight dinner (featuring beef medallions in shashlik marinade topped 
with panna cotta and autumn fruit for dessert, the first of several 
banquets prepared by celebrity chefs) took time to recognize good friends 
South Africa's chief Communist Party member, Mbeki, and ex-senators George 
Mitchell and Alan Cranston, among others.  It was after 11 P.M.  when Jane 
Fonda surreptitiously took her leave, just about the time Gorby began 
peeling back the "profound layers among the interfaces of politics, 
geopolitics, and philosophy." 

He announced that the Forum was the "first step in establishing a global 
brain trust," which will eventually usher in a global constitutional 
convention and a 'Bill of Rights for the Planet.' Recognizing that the 
first attempt at global governance failed when the League of Nations (which 
predated the United Nations formation in 1945) disintegrated, the Forum 
plans not to repeat their error of leaving "too much power to individual 
states (countries).  Gorbachev must feel the "sweeping crisis that 
threatens our entire civilization" will be solved by the year 2000 as the 
last Forum meeting is scheduled to take place then. Imagine, by 2000 we 
will have "a new civilization, a new kind of politics" and we will have 
"reinvent(ed) the world together." 

The President of the Carnegie Corporation, David Hamburg, who believes that 
privately endowed foundations can operate in areas government may prefer to 
avoid, participated in the Forum. Hamburg's background includes his 
hammering out a tax-exempt foundation for the U.S.  State Department, 
negotiating with the Soviets several years ago concerning "curriculum 
development and the restructuring of American education."  Note this 
"negotiation" occurred before the Evil Empire was declared dead by 
President Reagan. 

New Age Dr. Deepak Chopra of San Diego told the rapt audience that they 
must "see the world as if for the first time...for only then is there an 
opportunity to create...a new world.  We cannot do it the way we have done 
it in the past.  It is time to change the whole paradigm through which we 
view physical reality." 

Zbigniew, President Carter's former National Security Advisor, who earlier 
explained to a Forum audience how regionalism must come before world 
government, attempted to explain to a reporter why there were no Christian 
leaders at the Forum by stating, "I happen to know that President Gorbachev 
is a very good friend of the Pope - and I am too."  His reply, as did 
Gorbachev's, danced around the question but was revealing just the same. 
Christianity was not represented because pantheism (everything is god) was 
the order of the day. 

A common thread seemed to be the shared concept of an erasing of borders 
and delineations between countries.  A backdrop map shown on the stage 
outlined continent shapes.  World or global governance to well-known 
painter Peter Max must also meaning rubbing out any separation between 
nations as his posters displayed continent outlines only.  Gorbachev 
addressed the importance of consensus for global governance, negating 
sovereignty, which eliminates the needs for borders. 

They take their job very seriously, these one-world do-gooders. Evidence 
the well-fed, pampered Forum audience, at a plenary meeting on Saturday, 
and how they hung on to every word of the New Age guru Sam Keen, who 
pronounced, "If we cut the world's population by 90%, there won't be enough 
people left to do ecological damage."  His proposal received enthusiastic 
applause. The presumption was that Keen's audience would be among the 
elect, the remaining 10%, the ones chosen to do the "cutting." Another 
example of this blatant elitism surfaced last year, when Gorbachev was 
being interviewed by Audubon, when he declared that "Americans have to be 
more modest in their desires."  Coming from someone who lives a lifestyle 
resplendent with gourmet foods and catered surroundings makes his words 
reek of pomposity. 

How many people buy the globalist government lie?  Evidently the Forum 
promoters were anxious about empty seats that would reflect how meager the 
number of their committed clique really is; three incidents reveal this 
concern.  Sprinkled among the illuminaries were the average people such as 
the delegation from South America, who, try as they might, could not 
account for their being invited to the Forum.  Then there was the musician 
who proudly exhibited the esteemed press pass.  He had been asked to play 
at an evening session and was not paid but was awarded the ID which allowed 
him entry to the meetings.  He chose to partake of only one meeting and 
admitted the subject matter was beyond his understanding.  It would be 
interesting to know how many others in attendance were simply "fillers," 
not sure how they came to be there, or why and not really in tune with the 
"transforming human consciousness" to which Gorbachev referred. 

The final bash on Sunday, at the Masonic Hall, involving CNN's Bernard Shaw 
and former leaders Gorbachev, Bush and Thatcher, revealed hundreds of 
vacant seats.  TV monitors were set up and functioning to accommodate the 
large empty wing sections, so organizers must have hoped last minute 
arrivals would pay the $100 to view the one hour "discussion."  They 
didn't.  The lack of paying customers and the evidence that there really 
isn't a large number of these elitists almost made up for the standing 
ovation the audience gave Gorbachev when he strode onto the stage.  And 
then there was the pick-up with a large "GET US OUT OF THE UN" sign in the 
truck bed that appeared just as the Masonic Hall was emptying.  The driver 
proceeded slowly down the street as the Shirley McLaine types were trooping 
out of the Masonic Auditorium, only to loop around the block and return a 
few minutes later, and then again.  Perfect timing. 

When you burrow to the core of all the rhetoric, you discover how all this 
will directly affect you.  Gorby claims "we must change the nature of 
consumption" by moving away from a technology-centered way of living. 
There is only one way to interpret this; his New World Order will dictate 
every aspect of our lives, forcing civilization back to the barbaric dark 
ages, before technology replaced human sweat and blood.  His time frame 
gives the social planners five years to redistribute the world's wealth, 
transfer all armaments to the United Nations peacekeeping FORCE, to further 
empower the United Nations, initiate a global tax, implement the 
overpopulation solution, and to eliminate nationalism (read "patriotism") 
as well as nationhood's border barriers. 

In the broad scheme of things this meeting is like a tiny blip on a radar 
screen.  The enormity of the impending disaster becomes evident only when 
one sees the entirety of the gathering storm; the United Nation's inroads 
into America's sovereignty, our government's brutal and sometimes murderous 
attacks against law-abiding citizens in business, church communities and 
homes, our own representatives in D.C.  flagrantly and/or ignorantly voting 
in opposition to their oath, making a mockery of the Supreme Law of the 
land, the Constitution.  We must inform government at all levels what all 
these global elitists are proposing for OUR future, and challenge them to 
stop the onslaught, and we must educate others, many others, unless we look 
forward to the alternative - abject slavery. 

We are in a war, not of our choosing, but a war nonetheless.  Our enemy is 
anyone who disdains being an American citizen and who instead chooses to 
claim the label, "citizen of the world." 

The State of the World Forum, sponsored by the Gorbachev Foundation/USA, is 
just one of the mechanisms being used in plotting the destruction of this 
country.  The outcome of this war will be determined by how you and I 
choose to fight and how much we are willing to sacrifice to win.

By: roger.clarke@anu.edu.au. 

     What do these things have in common? They are all components in what 
some believe to be the future of identification, and ultimately, control of 
humans. 

The Beast- 
     In revelations they speak of the "mark of the beast" that will be in 
everyone's hand and on everyone's forehead.  Do the numbers 666 ring a 
bell? Well, some claim "the beast" is the nickname given to a huge computer 
located in Europe, with the only storage system large enough to hold the 
credit records forall the people in the world.  The numbers 666 are the 
firs, middle, and end numbers of the bar codes now found on every item that 
is bought, sold, or consumed today.  Even the native American Hopi culture 
talks of the "mark of the bear" that will be found on all trade items and 
will be a sign of the "end times".  A bear marks his territory by scraping 
his nails down the bar of peripheral trees, leaving the mark that resembles 
a bar code of ten lines of varying thickness. 

Microchips- 
     Overheard at the local Walmarts in a small town in Michigan,"Well, if 
they planted a chip in McVeigh's buttocks, all he has to do is jump up here 
on the checkout stand and see if it's working". 

     Microchip implants are not as implausable as we wished they were. 
Popular Science in their October l994 issue are quoted as saying "Within 
the next ten years, we'll have minature computers inside us to monitor and 
perhaps even control out blood pressure, heart rate, and cholesterol. 
Within 20 years, such computers will correct visual and hearing signals, 
making glasses and hearing aids obsolete." 

    At least that was how Bertrand Cambou say it, as the director of 
technology for Motorola's Semiconductor Products in Phoenix. Cambou has 
been part of a miniturization of microprocessors and the development of 
wireless communication technologies.  It is now possible, notes Cambou, to 
put the sensors, processors and wireless radio frequency devices for an 
internal computer onto a single, tiny chip.  The RF signallying would 
permit accurate readouts of vital statistics without attaching anything to 
or drawing anything from the body.  Even more amazing internal computers 
might enable the deaf to hear and the blind to see. A chip implanted on the 
optic nerve, 
for example, could correct defective images or simply transmit entire 
images to the nerve. 

     Microchips can also be used for migraine headaches, behavior 
modification, upper/downer, sexual stumlant and sexual depressant. This is 
nothing more than electrical accupuncture. 

Smart? Money- 
     The "Smart Card Forum" is the most powerful force behind the "cashless 
society" of the future.  The Forum is an industry group made of up leading 
banks, retailers, equipment makers, and government agencies attempting to 
produce standards for smart cards as universal as those that exist today 
for magnetic stripe cards. 

     In Europe, systems such as Denmarks' Danmont and a British system, 
called Mondex, that keeps track of up to five different currencies, are 
already being utilized.  Largely because of Europe's more centralized 
economies and the greater degree of government involvement and 
standardization, the cards are already well established.  The entire bank 
payment system in France, involving 22 million people, has been converted 
to smart card technology.  Germany's health care system uses smart cards 
for patient information and billing.  Mastercard is launching it's effort 
in Australia. 

     "They'll never do away with cash", some might say,"What about crime, 
drugs, and even government laundering?" There is already a form of 
cybercash that cannot be linked to an owner or spender.  One of the first 
forms of currency online is already international Digicash, based in the 
Netherlands, is the creation of David Chaum, a former computer science 
professor.  With DigiCash the user is anonymous- unlike with RSA- ty

  
pe 
system. Banksa and credit card companies are bypassed. DigiCash is 
untraceable cash and holds potential for money laundering and other fraud. 
Banks and financial institutions are likely to resist it for many years to 
come. 

     Can't happen in the US, well, it already is. At the United States 
Marine's basic training program at legendary Parris Island, South Carolina, 
recruits are paid by smart cards that can be used at base facilities or the 
local bowling alley and Burger King.  The corps figures that the system 
saves about $40,000 a year, not to mention several hours in the processing 
of each recruit.  In addition, a new generation of dog tags called (in true 
Pentagon fashion) "Individually Carried Records", or IRCs, contain rank and 
serial number as well as additional personal information.  Indeed much of 
the technology used in smart cards for finance is an outgrowth of their use 
for security purposes. 

    At the l996 Olympic Games being held in Atlanta this year, no cash will 
be allowed, as a testing ground for Visa's new "smart card". 

    For the next few years, smart cards are likely to include magnetic 
stripes and perhaps bar codes along with their chips.  These transitional 
cards will gradually replace the driver's license, medical insurance cards, 
bank cards, and credit cards that bulge the contemporary wallet. 

    Put them all together and what have you got? Microchip implants that 
contain your identification, banking, and medical records (with 
adjustments) literally fitting into the "palm" of your hand? I hope not.

Implications for People" check out the Australian National University's

Prelude to those "so called Prison camps"? 
By: Ray Gano 

This is a bill that has been recently introduced. The government proposes 
to use the vacant military bases for "Detention Centers" to combat illegal 
aliens...that is for now. Read Luke 21:12-14 and then tell me what you 
think. 

H.R. 1915: 
Senator Alan Simpson, Author:  Sec. 112. PILOT PROGRAM ON USE OF 
CLOSED MILITARY BASES FOR THE DETENTION OF INADMISSIBLE OR 
DEPORTABLE ALIENS.  (a) ESTABLISHMENT - The Attorney General and the 
Secretary of Defense shall establish one or more pilot programs for up to 2 
yrs each to determine the feasibility of the use of military bases 
available because of actions under a base closure las as detention centers 
for the Immigration and Naturalization Service.  (B) REPORT - Nor later 
than 30 months after the enactment of this Act, the Attorney General, 
together with the secretary of State, shall submit a report to the 
Committee on the Judiciary of the House of Representatives and the Senate, 
and the Committee on Armed Services of the House of Representatives and to 
the Senate, on the feasibility of using military bases closed under a base 
closure law as detention centers by the Immigration and Naturalization 
Service.

Holland continues to support Palestinian's claim to Jerusalem 

JERUSALEM (January 18) - Holland's Foreign Minister Hans van Mierlo 
restated his nation's support of the Palestinian claim to eastern 
Jerusalem, Faisal Husseini, the senior PLO official in Jerusalem, said 
yesterday after meeting him at Orient House. 

"Holland has always recognized east Jerusalem as part of the occupied 
territories," Husseini told reporters. "Holland, as you know, does not 
recognize Israel's annexation of east Jerusalem in 1967." 

Husseini said "Negotiations on Jerusalem's future are to start in May, and 
Israel has no right beforehand to take unilateral action in Jerusalem." 

"We thought the Dutch were our friends," said Women in Green leader Nadia 
Matar. "But apparently they believe Jerusalem belongs to the great murderer 
[Yasser] Arafat." Women in Green were in front of the Orient House 
protesting Hans van Mierlo meeting. By Hans van Mierlo meeting here in 
Jerusalem, his government recognizes the PLO's claim to Jerusalem. The 
Orient House is the PLO's "White House / Seat of Government" in Jerusalem. 

On Tuesday, a meeting between Dutch Prime Minister Wim Kok and Jerusalem 
Mayor Ehud Olmert was almost cut short, after Olmert sharply criticized 
Dutch policy on eastern Jerusalem, a city spokesman said. 

In Genesis the Lord says that He will bless those who bless Israel and 
curse those who curse Israel. I guess we know where Holland stands.

Turkish Deputy Foreign Minister: 
Israel's policy of conciliation towards Syria is a mistake. 
By Aluf Ben, Ha'Aretz, Jan. 11 1996 

Onor Oyman, the Turkish Deputy Foreign Minister, who is currently visiting 
Israel, spoke harshly against Syria yesterday, and accused the Syrians of 
using terror for political gain. "How is it that a weak and economically 
backwards country is trying to look like a regional leader?" asked Oyman, 
and cautioned Israel: "A policy of conciliatioon towards Syria is a mistake 
just like the pre-World War II conciliatory policy. Israel should take this 
into account in its negotiations with the Syrians".  According to Oyman, 
"it is forbidden to show the Syrians that terror is worthwhile, or that 
they will receive the Golan because of the use of terror. Otherwise, they 
will continue it". He said that the Syrians have refused all Turkish 
attempts at conciliation and at ending Syrian support of Kurdish terrorists 
of the PKK. Turkey is wary that a peace agreement between Syria and Israel 
will bring to a removal of Syria from the American list of 
terror-supporting countries, while Syria continues to support the Kurds, 
who are acting against Turkey. Oyman's Israeli colleague, Eli Dayan, said 
that Israel will not sign any agreement with Syria unless they divorce 
themselves of all terror. Oyman said that the biggest danger of the Syrian 
policy is their making a connection between terror and the disagreement on 
regional water rights. He stated that Turkey will not join any regional 
water project in which Syria is involved, because of the friction between 
the two countries. And so he made it clear that plans on building a 
pipeline from Turkey, who is rich in water resources, to the dry countries 
to the south of it, have been frozen.

The Monday Morning Wake-up Call 
By: gemrsrch@ix.netcom.com 

Average martyrs p.a. as of following dates: 

Martyrs (1996):      159,000 
Martyrs (1900):       35,600 
Martyrs (1970):      230,000 

Martyrdom across the ages has garnered a significant amount of interest 
recently. In Our globe and how to reach it (1990, Barrett & Johnson),  the 
grim facts are presented. From AD33 to 1990, there were 420  situations of 
martyrdom (where large groups of Christians are killed). In 56 of these 
over 100,000 were killed; in 20, more than half a million were killed and 
in twelve over 1 million were killed. The bulk of these situations occurred 
in two periods: the first, between 1000 and 1500 AD, and the second, a much 
shorter period, 1900-1980. 26 million, over half of all Christian martyrs 
ever, were killed in this latter period. Some 9.9 million were martyred in 
the past forty years alone.

What is THE TEMPLE INSTITUTE? 
By: Rabbi Chaim Richman 

Introduction 

The Temple Institute is an educational, non-profit organization located in 
the Jewish Quarter of Jerusalem's Old City. The Institute was founded in 
1987 with a unique goal in mind: to raise the conciousness of the Jewish 
people - and the world in general - to the realization that mankind's 
spiritual vacuum can only be filled by the rebuilding of the Holy Temple on 
Mount Moriah in Jerusalem, location of both the First Temple and Second 
Temple ...and the location of the Third Temple, as promised and foresee n 
by every prophet of Israel, without exception. Through ongoing educational, 
scientific and research-related projects, our goal is to further the 
understanding and awareness of the spiritual significance of the Holy 
Temple to all mankind... as taught by the Bible of Israel. "For My house 
shall be called a house of prayer for all nations" (Isaiah 56). 

Today, at the Temple Institute in Jerusalem, Biblical prophecy is being 
fulfilled. Here, you can see something which has not been seen on the face 
of the earth for 2,000 years: In preparation for the Third Temple, the 
Temple Institute has created authenti c Temple vessels and priestly 
garments according to Biblical specifications. This is an ongoing process, 
and to date over 60 sacred objects have been recreated from gold, silver 
and copper. These vessels are not models or replicas, but they are actually 
made according to all the complicated nuances and requirements of Biblical 
law. If the Holy Temple were to be rebuilt immediately, the Divine service 
could be resumed utilizing these vessels. Click here to see some of these 
recreated vessels. The Institute operates a permanent exhibition, "THE 
TREASURES OF THE TEMPLE," which has attracted over 250,000 visitors from 
around the world. The exhibition has been featured in Time Magazine and 
numerous other publications, and receives ex tensive media coverage around 
the world. 

Research and Development 

In addition to its work on the recreation of Temple vessels, the Institute 
is conducting a number of related research projects. These include the 
importation of authentic Red Heifers to Israel, in preparation for the 
ritual purification detailed in Number s:19. 

Other 'firsts' include the identification and gathering together of all 11 
ingredients of the incense offering, and the long and exhaustive research 
in identifying the stones of the High Priest's breastplate - the 'Urim 
V'Thummim.' There is even advanced work being done by technicians and 
architects, using sophisticated computer technology, to design actual 
blueprints for the Third Temple.

1996 Series U.S. Currency 
Forwarded to PZ by Tim West 

The United States will issue currency with new security features beginning 
with the $100 Federal Reserve notes in early 1996. These enhancements make 
U.S. currency easier to recognize as genuine and more secure against 
advancing technologies which could be used for counterfeiting. 

This currency will be introduced one denomination at a time. Following the 
$100 bill, lower denominations ($50, $20, $10, etc.) will be issued at the 
rate of about one denomination per year. There will be no recall and no 
devaluation of any U.S. currency. The notes incorporate both familiar and 
new features, while remaining recognizably American. 

A Smooth Transition 

All U.S. currency will continue to be honored at full face value. There 
will be no recall or devaluation of any U.S. notes. As the new currency is 
phased in, the old notes will be retired by the Federal Reserve when they 
are returned by financial institutions. This means that there is no time 
limit or requirement for exchanging old notes for new notes. 

Familiar Features 

Many elements of the currency remain the same, including: 

   * Size of the bill 
   * Ink colors -- black on the front and green on the back 
   * Paper -- cotton and linen with red and blue fibers 
   * Texture of the paper 
   * Historical figures and back illustrations -- with slight alterations 
   * Motto -- "In God We Trust" 

New Features 

A number of new security features have been incorporated into the new design. 

The security thread runs vertically just to the left of the portrait; the 
watermark is to the right of the Treasury Department's seal; color shifting 
ink appears on the lower-right "100." 

   * Larger, Off-Center Portrait 
   * Watermark Portrait 
   * Color Shifting Ink 
   * Concentric Fine-Line Printing 
   * Microprinting 
   * Security Thread 
   * Serial Numbers 
   * Federal Reserve Seal

Date: Thu, 15 Feb 1996 02:14:00 -0800 
Subject: The Revolution Starts in New Jersey... 

	ATTENTION ALL MOTOR VEHICLE OWNERS 

                Millions Of Vehicles To Be Affected By New 
                        VEHICLE CONFISCATION LAW 

On June 2, 1995, Governor Whitman signed legislation #SCS-1700. It is  NOW 
LAW, and will be fully implemented against all New Jersey car and  truck 
owners as soon as the necessary testing facilities and remote  monitoring 
stations are constructed - expected sometime in 1996-97.  Briefly, SCS-1700 
states the following: 

All motor vehicles over four years old will be required to report to  new 
CENTRALIZED TESTING FACILITIES for "ENHANCED EMISSIONS  INSPECTIONS". If 
your car or truck fails this test - the vehicle MUST  be taken off the 
road. Only three percent of those vehicles failing the  test and having 
already spent a minimum of $450 for repairs will be  granted a waiver 
allowing them to remain on the road for two more  years. You have no appeal 
and no other options. 

                            NOW FOR THE BAD NEWS 

Motor vehicle inspections will cost $24. The I/M ENHANCED EMISSIONS  TEST, 
in which an operator "drives" your car through a simulated  dynamometer 
road test, is DESIGNED TO FAIL 60% OF ALL CARS, this  according to the EPA. 
Almost no vehicles over 10 years old are expected  to pass. You have no 
protection against damage or the destruction of  your vehicle by such 
stress testing methods. 97% of those vehicles  failing the new enhanced 
emissions test will have their registration  renewal automatically denied 
by the state. Such vehicles cannot be sold  to any other individual or 
dealer and essentially become FORFEITED TO  THE STATE... which will receive 
"pollution credits" they can sell to  industrial polluters for every 
vehicle they take off the road. Owners  of failed vehicles must surrender 
their license plates within 45  days...and since NJ law already prohibits 
you from having an  unregistered vehicle on your own property, local law 
enforcement can  then seize it at will. Assisting it in this effort, NJ DEP 
recently  revised the state's definition of "quasi-public" to include ALL 
RESIDENTIAL DRIVEWAYS AND PARKING LOTS" - Yes, you've also lost your 
private property rights! 

Repairs can only be attempted by a STATE CERTIFIED REPAIR FACILITY...to 
which you have no say about work quality or cost. You can no longer 
legally perform emissions related repairs yourself, nor can you take it  to 
your trusted mechanic (unless they first receive state certification  and 
invest $100,000 in equipment). 

As part of SCS-1700, roadblocks will be established throughout the  state 
to randomly test a percentage of all vehicles. Automated sensing  devices 
will be installed along New Jersey highways to monitor your  vehicle's 
emissions as you drive by. Violators of the new emission  standards will 
have their license plates PHOTOGRAPHED; thus enabling  the state to issue 
summonses through the mail. Severe penalties, fines,  and jail time have 
been attached to all violations of this new  legislation. In fact, the 
state will begin kicking back a commission to local police for their help 
in seizing your car! 

Remember, SCS-1700 is aimed at TAKING YOUR CAR OFF THE ROAD! It is  aimed 
at producing one car families. Collector, hot rod, and hobbyist  cars are 
history. A spare car for local trips, a teenage driver,  student, or the 
commuter park and ride is history. That classic Mustang  convertible has 
been redefined as a "gross polluter" and is now  targeted by the state for 
the crusher. Many car and truck related  businesses will suffer or fail. 
Ironically, state officials are  recommending you start saving your money 
now to buy a new car-an  impossibility for most individuals given our 
current local tax burden  of around 50%. 

The issue here is ever increasing government controlling not only your 
mobility, your life and your freedom, but even your ability to work and 
earn a living. It has almost nothing to do wih clean air. Remember that 
you have NO LEGAL RIGHT TO DRIVE in this state. New Jersey considers it 
their PRIVILEGE to allow you to drive on their roads...and starting 
sometime in 1996 they will be taking it back. As stated by EPA Region 8 
administrator William Yellowtail, "Cleaning up cars and the roads is  only 
half the solution...the much more difficult half involves getting  people 
out of their cars." 

Sound far fetched? Can't happen? Remind you of a Soviet or Nazi style 
police state? FIND OUT FOR YOURSELF. Call Legislative Services at 
800-792-8630 and ask for a free copy of SCS-1700. Ask for your 
legislator's phone number and voice your concern. Call DMV Director  Dick 
Kamin at 609-984-9827 and request all administrative and DEP  requlations 
associated with SCS-1700. Call Governor Whitman at  609-292-6000. Ask for a 
repeal of this horrendous legislation. Most  importantly-SPREAD THE WORD! 
Copy and distribute this flyer everywhere.  Fax it to business associates. 
Warn your friends. Till now, you've  heard very few details regarding 
SCS-1700...since politicians  desperately want to keep the nightmare they 
rammed through the  legislature quiet until after you reelect them. 
Remember this election  day that you finally have alternatives to the two 
party system that  once again stomped all over your rights...and VOTE! 

            TODAY NEW JERSEY.....TOMORROW YOUR STATE!!!

ARMAGEDDON DELAYED: ANOTHER WATCHTOWER DISAPPOINTMENT 

  For several decades, the Watchtower  has taught that 1914 marked the 
invisible presence of Christ, and that the generation that saw the world 
events that occurred since 1914 would be the one to witness Armageddon and 
the subsequent establisment of an earthly paradise. 

  The November 1, 1995 Watchtower marks yet another disappointment in 
Watchtower history. In the article 'A Time to Keep Awake', page 17, the 
magazine states, "Rather than provide a rule for measuring 
time, the term 'generation' as used by Jesus refers principally to 
contemporary people of a certain historical period, with their identifying 
characteristics." On page 19, the article goes on to state, "Therefore, in 
the final fulfillment of Jesus' prophecy today, 'this generation' 
apparently refers to the peoples of earth who see the sign of Christ's 
presence but fail to mend their ways." It is of interest to note that 80 
years was previously thought to be the maximum length of a generation. 
Measuring by that standard, the culmination of events witnessed by the 
generation of 1914 should have had it's final fulfillment in 1994. 

  In keeping with the change in the interpretation of 'this generation', 
the Awake! magazine's masthead, or statement of purpose, has been changed, 
as well. 

1/8/68  "Awake!" pledges itself to righteous principles, to exposing 
hidden foes and subtle dangers, to championing freedom for all,    to 
comforting mourners and strengthening those disheartened by the failures of 
a delinquent world, reflecting sure hope for the establishment of God's 
righteous new order in this generation. 

1/8/75  Most importantly, "Awake!" provides hope, giving you a basis    for 
confidence in the Creator's promise of a new order of lasting peace and 
true security within our generation. 

1/8/78  Most importantly, "Awake!" builds confidence in the Creator's 
promise of a peaceful and secure new order within our generation. 

1/8/82  Most importantly, this magazine builds confidence in the Creator's 
promise of a peaceful and secure new order before the generation that saw 
the events of 1914 C.E. passes away. 

6/8/83  Most importantly, this magazine builds confidence in the Creator's 
promise of a peaceful and secure New Order before the generation that saw 
the events of 1914 passes away. 

1/8/87  ["statement of purpose" removed] 

3/8/88  ["statement of purpose" reinstated] Most importantly, this magazine 
builds confidence in the Creator's promise of a peaceful and secure new 
world before the generation that saw the events of 1914 passes away. 

1/8/91  Most important, this magazine builds confidence in the Creator's 
promise of a peaceful and secure new world before the generation that saw 
the events of 1914 passes away. 

11/8/95  Most important, this magazine builds confidence in the Creator's 
promise of a peaceful and secure new world that is about to replace the 
present wicked, lawless system of things. 

  Notice that the Awake! had stated it was 'the Creator's promise' that the 
generation of 1914 would see the establisment of God's 'peaceful and secure 
new world.' Has the Creator's promise changed? Or, is it possible that the 
Watchtower again misinterpreted Scripture,  found themselves in an 
embarassing situation, and were forced to revoke the promise that they made 
to their readers around the world?
