Is New York City Mystery Babylon?

n/d 01 mag 11/26/01 2:07 PM

Many have stated that it is impossible to know whether or not we are living in the last days

before the second coming of Jesus Christ. However, below you will find dramatic proof that

these are the endtimes. The proofs below defy coincidence.

Euphrates River to Be Dried Up In Revelation 16:12, the Bible predicts that the Euphrates Riverwill be dried up to prepare the way for the kings of the east to invade Israel. This will happen at the time of the battle of Armageddonaccording to verse 16 of the same chapter. The battle of Armageddon will be the final battle at which time Jesus will return and fighton the side of the nation of Israel. Immediately thereafter He will establish His kingdom and usher in His one thousand-year reign ofpeace. On January 13, 1990, the Indianapolis Star carried the headline “Turkey Will Cut Off Flow of Euphrates for One Month.” Thearticle stated that a huge reservoir had been built by Turkey. While filling up the reservoir, the flow of the Euphrates would be stoppedfor one month and a concrete plug for a diversion channel built. These things have now been done. With this newly built dam, Turkeyhas the ability to stop the Euphrates River at will. The conditions for fulfilling this 1,900 year-old prophecy are now in place.

In Revelation 9:15-16, the Bible prophesies that an army of 200 million soldiers will launch a war which would kill “the third part of men.” Never in thehistory of the world until our present generation has there been a power on earth that could field 200 million soldiers. However, thelate ruler of China, Mao Tse Tung boasted in his diary that he could field an army of 200 million. The CIA World Factbook reportsthat in the year 2001, it is estimated that China has 200,886,946 men of military age, and this number is growing by 10 million peryear.

In Revelation 13, the Bible prophesies that aworld dictator will soon rule over a world government. He will cause all people in the earth to receive a number without which theywill be unable to buy or sell. We are seeing this prophecy fulfilled before our eyes in a most astonishing way. Nearly every humanbeing in the world now has been assigned a number. In America it is our Social Security number. In the past few years, we have seenthis number extended to newborns. A child without a Social Security number cannot be declared as a dependent on an income taxreturn. We have seen the emergence of electronic money, shopping with credit cards, and many people urging the abolishment of cash.All of these things could not possibly have been fulfilled until this present time. Only after the invention of the computer could such aworldwide numbering system be administered.

Revelation 13:7 andDaniel 7:23 prophesy the establishment of a world government. The term “New World Order” has become a prevalent phrase in theworld’s political culture. Mikhail Gorbachev made the term famous, and Pope John Paul II has referred to it repeatedly. In theSeptember 12, 1990 issue of the Chicago Tribune, our former president George Bush said, “Iraq is the first test for the New WorldOrder.” He emphatically stated that the Iraq War is Saddam Hussein against the world. The United Nations’ troops are continuallyreferred to as the multi-national forces. The decision has been made to establish an interdependent community of nations that will rulethe world under United Nations authority. The Bible says that this will lead us into a great world government. The formation of thisgovernment is at hand.

Is it coincidental that all of these major prophecies pertaining to the last times are being fulfilled simultaneously?

Feature Articles14 Is New York City Mystery Babylon?

The Bible prophesies the destruction of Babylonin the 18th chapter of Revelation. Many of theevents that happened in New York City onSeptember 11th bore an eerie resemblance to partsof this prophecy. Some of the similarities are hardto ignore. Many have asked, so let’s take a look!

We believe that the Bible is the inspiredWord of God, that Jesus Christ is theSavior of the world, and that He willcome again to establish a kingdom thatshall never be destroyed (Daniel 2:44).Those who are born again (John 3:3-5)will have eternal life and rule as kingsand priests with Christ forever.

In 1968, Irvin Baxter Jr. discovered the United Statesand other modern nations in the Bible. He also found theBerlin Wall in the Bible and that one day it was to be torndown, reuniting Germany, and that event would be thecatalyst to spark an international movement called the"New World Order." These things have now come topass.

Irvin Baxter Jr., a Pentecostal minister, beganEndtime Ministries in 1986 when he wrote A MessageFor The President, a book explaining the major prophe-

cies of the Bible which he had been teaching since 1968.After the fall of the Berlin Wall, prophetic fulfillment

accelerated rapidly. The decision was made to launchEndtime. The purpose of the magazine is to explain theprophecies of the Bible and to show that they are nowbeing fulfilled in intricate detail.

Articles focus on the soon return of Jesus Christ, thetruth of the Bible, and the need for salvation. Endtimedoes not deal with doctrinal controversies, as valid asthey may be. This will be left to other publications.

What is Endtime Magazine?

In the aftermath of the attack onAmerica, former Soviet Union PresidentMikhail Gorbachev was interviewed byLarry King. Gorbachev said that....we(the world) had waited too long after

the end of the Cold War to move on with “theNew International Order.” As the world’s lead-ing advocate of global governance, Gorbachevsees the present crisis as another powerfulargument for the establishment of one-worldgovernment.

The most critical test of the presidency ofGeorge W. Bush may be whether he is able tolead the war on terrorism without succumbingto the siren song of the advocates of one-worldgovernment. How is Bush doing to date?

On the positive side, the president has resis-ted calls to channel all decisions concerning thewar on terrorism through the United NationsSecurity Council. In so doing, he has retainedU.S. sovereignty and freedom of action.

On the negative side, Bush has yielded tothose who salivate to exploit the present crisisin order to plunge the world headlong into theclutches of one-world government. OnOctober 11, 2001, the San Francisco Chroniclereported that two NATO Airborne Warningand Control Systems aircraft, with crews from12 different nations, would begin patrollingthe skies over the United States.

You heard right! Foreign troops from 12 dif-

ferent nations have now been engaged to patrolthe skies of America! President Bush com-mented concerning this alarming develop-ment, “This has never happened before, thatNATO has come to help defend our country.But it happened in this time of need, and forthat we are profoundly grateful.”

This is the first time foreign planes have haddirect responsibility for defense of the UnitedStates. The question that must be asked iswhether we actually needed NATO militaryassistance, or was this simply a ploy to getAmericans used to foreign troops in actionwithin our borders.

Marcus Corbin, a senior analyst at theCenter for Defense Information, provided theanswer, “Sending the AWACS planes is largelya political gesture. NORAD (the NorthAmerican Aerospace Defense command) is per-fectly capable of doing the jobs AWACS planescan do.”

This alarming development demonstratesonce again that America’s most lethal enemy isnot Osama bin Laden, but our own leaders whowould surrender the sovereignty of the UnitedStates to a foreign power—a one-world gov-ernment.

We should continue to pray that PresidentBush will not be numbered among those whowould lead America into the NewInternational Order of Mikhail Gorbachev. ❏

Re-creating History

I listened to your program where you interviewed the Muslimdefending his faith. He seems like an intellectual trained in thepost-modernistic, deconstructionistic understanding of reality.This means that what seems like 2 + 2 = 4 is only true depend-ing on what culture you are in. It all depends on how you inter-pret it. (It’s all about what “is” is as Bill Clinton so gloriouslyspelled out). It’s not about words as concrete things, but aboutcontext and meanings in today’s culture. It’s all about re-creat-ing history.

It reminds me of the twisted words at the Dachau Nazi con-centration camp where the entrance sign states “Work Shall SetYou Free.” It’s doublespeak and intentional confusion. This manseemed like a perfect politician, gracious and kind. God protectus from people like that.

Thank the Lord that Jesus is the truth and His words neverchange their meaning. Thanks for standing for the truth!

National ID: Precursor or Mark?

I have a question concerning the National ID mess. Do youfeel that this will be the mark of the beast or do you feel theNational ID is merely a precursor?

N. Dampier

Reply: The beast (the Antichrist) will have to be in powerbefore the mark of the beast can be implemented. We know thisbecause Scripture tells us that people will be required to worship

or pledge allegiance to the beast in order to get the mark thatwill be used for buying and selling.

The Inevitable Mark

I appreciate your frankness about how you see things andwhere you believe scripture is leading us. I know it is importantto stand for righteousness especially in these last days. My ques-tion is this; why should we call our leaders and the president andvoice against the National ID mark when scripture plainly statesthat it is inevitable. Are we just buying some time or are ourefforts in vain because these things must come to pass?

We do want the Lord to come quickly, don’t we? Thank youfor your time and all that you represent.

P. Jones

Reply: The mark of the beast will be a very evil thing, and weshould always resist evil. Furthermore, Daniel 11:40-44describes nations fighting against the Antichrist during thefinal three and one-half years. We know this because theAbomination of Desolation, which happens three and one-halfyears before Armageddon, occurs in verse 31. Since theAntichrist will have opposition on a national level almost to theend of his reign, I would like for the United States to be one ofthose opposing forces.

A Pledge Without God

It would be interesting to discuss what we are going to do ifthis ID card turns out to be the mark. The fact of the matter isthat they could have you sign a document that says simply that

you pledge your alliance to the country and leave out “under G-d!” Then what do we do?

G. Freed

Reply: I have already determined that I will not pledge alle-giance to the United States without the phrase under God. Weshould always obey the authority over us unless it contradictsthe authority over it. Consequently, we can pledge obedience toour nation only as long as our nation recognizes the ultimateauthority of God.

Powerful Book

Your The China War & The Third Temple book is powerful. It wasamazing to see how easily things can change in the world thatwould allow the scriptures to come true. I really believe that theHoly Spirit moved you to write many parts of the book.

200 Million Muslims

Could the Muslim nations unite to form the 6th Trumpet’s200 million-man army?

Multitudes of inquirers

Reply: I have believed for many years that the 200 million-man army would come from China. And I still believe that to betrue. However, there is one other entity on earth that could pos-sibly put together this prophesied army.

Since there are 1.2 billion Muslims in the world, it would bepossible for them to field an army of 200 million soldiers. If, infact, the Muslims are the army to which the prophecy ofRevelation 9:15-16 speaks, then it appears that the prophesiedwar has now begun. Since this war will kill one-third ofmankind, the possibility that we have entered that war is sober-ing indeed. Time will soon tell.

Soon: No Tolerance for Full Gospel

I watched the gathering of many religions today on MSNBCand was stunned, however not in shock. I can truly see how theworld has changed in little more than a week. Prior to all thesethings happening, it was fairly acceptable in this country to saythat Jesus is the only way to eternal life. But I feel that theacceptability is shrinking fast. As the world’s faiths unite,believing the “full gospel” will no longer be acceptable, nor tol-erated. I feel we are seeing the day dawn before us when anyonewho doesn’t embrace this “unity” and “peace” (Interfaithism)will be an outcast and eventually spoken of as the terrorists are

now. It’s Islam today, Christianity tomorrow.As a believer that Jesus Christ is the One True God and His

blood has the only saving power, I must not flinch in this belief,no matter what the cost. To this generic god I saw come alivetoday, I will not bow down. True peace only comes from God,and He alone will bring it. Even so, come Lord Jesus.

My husband and I are Endtime listeners, and we are now in aposition to be supporters as well. We will be sending $30 permonth at this time, more as the Lord provides.

Does Bible Really Say Temple Will Be Rebuilt?

The cornerstones to the new temple were to have been laid onOctober 4th at 9:30am. To me this a great and marvelous thing,but it has not been reported anywhere.

I have searched the Bible and I can’t find where it says thatthis temple must be rebuilt. Where in the Bible does it say that?

D. Crockett

Reply: The Bible doesn’t say that the temple must be rebuilt.But it does prophesy that it will. II Thessalonians 2:3-4 clearlydescribes the time when the Antichrist will sit in the temple. Ifthere is no temple, the Antichrist could not fulfill this prophecy.

In Revelation 11:1-2, the Apostle John was told to measurethe temple. According to the passage, this measuring will takeplace 42 months before Armageddon. If there is no temple 42months before Armageddon, then the measuring of the templecould not take place.

There will be a temple standing on the Temple Mount in theendtime. Consequently, we know that its construction mustbegin before long.

I want to personally thank everyone in this ministry. You guyshave really helped my understanding of the endtimes. God isreally working through you to bring salvation and revelation tomany.

As I watched Oprah Winfrey’s Interfaith meeting at YankeeStadium, I came to realize that the events of September 11 havetriggered a sweep into the Interfaith movement. It is all hap-pening so rapidly now.

Thanks again for all you have done, are doing, and will do inthe future for myself and countless others. I will be in prayer forthe ministry.

The one comment heardrepeatedly in the aftermathof the September 11th ter-rorist attack on America was,“The world will never be the

same.” All of us instinctively know this istrue, whether or not we understand whatthe changes produced by the attacks onthe World Trade Center and the Pentagonwill ultimately be.

The questions that nag at each of ushave to be: “How will these events affectmy life? How do these things fit into theprophecies of the endtime? Where is Godin all of this?”

What prophecies lie ahead?There are many prophecies in scripture

for the times just ahead. In this article, wewill consider seven of the major ones. Theprophecies we will discuss are:

• Confirmation of a covenant concerning Israel’s right to the Promised Land

• Jerusalem shared between Jew and Gentile

• A war that kills one-third of mankind

• Temple built on the Temple Mount• Antichrist sits in the temple

claiming to be God• The Great Tribulation• Mark of the beast

Let’s briefly examine each prophecy anddiscuss how recent events are alreadyimpacting its fulfillment.

1. Confirmation of a covenantconcerning Israel’s right to the Promised Land

Daniel 9:27 states that the Antichristwill confirm a covenant with Israel. Thisconfirming of the covenant marks thebeginning of a seven-year period, whichculminates at the Battle of Armageddon.It is at Armageddon that Jesus returns tothe earth to establish His 1,000-year king-dom.

We know that it is the Antichrist whoconfirms the covenant because the “he”that confirms the covenant in Daniel 9:27also stops the sacrifice and places theabomination of desolation. Daniel 11:31clearly states that it is the Antichrist thattakes away the daily sacrifice and placesthe abomination of desolation.

The covenant in this prophecy appearsto be the covenant that God made withAbraham in Genesis 15:18 when God

Cover Storypromised the land of Israel to Abraham’sseed. We know this because, within threeand one-half years of the confirmation ofthe covenant by the Antichrist, a Jewishtemple will have been built and animalsacrifices will have been resumed.Consequently, we can conclude that theconfirmation of the covenant will affectthe status of Jerusalem and will result inthe building of Israel’s Third Temple onthe Temple Mount.

The present Israeli-Palestinian conflictis being fought specifically over whetheror not Israel has a right to the landdescribed in Genesis 15:18. Until recent-ly, the International Community, as awhole, has leaned toward the Palestinianside in this conflict. The pendulum ofworld opinion began to swing towardIsrael when Arafat turned down the peacedeal offered by Israeli Prime MinisterEhud Barak at Camp David last year.Barak offered to return virtually all of theterritories captured in the 1967 War,including the entirety of the TempleMount itself, to Palestinian control. Mostof the world thought for sure that Arafatwould jump at this unprecedented peaceoffer. Instead, Arafat launched a newround of terrorism, which has now ragedfor over a year.

When news of the successful attack onthe World Trade Center and the Pentagonreached the Palestinians on September11th, they began to dance in the streets incelebration. Video footage of the celebra-tions was shown on the television net-works around the world. Quickly, YasserArafat realized how damaging this wasgoing to be for the Palestinian cause. Heordered the confiscation of the videofootage. The photographers who capturedthese pictures were apprehended andwarned that if their news services airedthe footage showing the celebrations,their lives might be in danger. Some ofthese scenes were shown around theworld, but were quickly pulled after thefirst day.

In the meantime, Yasser Arafat rushedto the nearest clinic to donate blood forthe victims of the attacks on America.There just happened to be plenty of cam-eras present to record this action. By theway, this footage was NOT confiscated bythe Palestinian police. It was distributedfreely for all of the world to see.

The rejection of Barak’s peace deal andthe suicide bombings in Israel during the

past year have convinced the Israelis thatthey do not have a peace partner.Consequently, many of them have decid-ed that the only solution is to unilateral-ly separate from the Palestinians.Discussion is ongoing at this time con-cerning the possibility of building a fencebetween Israel and the areas controlled bythe Palestinian Authority. Separationseems to be the likely outcome of thepresent situation, and it also seems to bewhat the Bible prophesies will happen.

Many have believed that the confirma-tion of the covenant would be a peaceagreement between Arabs and Israelis.However, this seems unlikely since horri-ble slaughter is specifically prophesied inthe West Bank area during the final threeand one-half years of the prophesiedseven-year period (Matthew 24:15-21). Itseems more plausible that the confirma-tion of the covenant will be a tacit agree-ment between Israel and the Antichrist,speaking on behalf of the InternationalCommunity.

When in Egypt in October of 2001,British Prime Minister Tony Blair statedthat he doubted terrorism would ever beeradicated until the Palestinian-Israeliproblem was solved. President Bushapparently agrees with this assessment.During the second week of October,2001, his State Department issued a com-muniqué calling for the establishment ofa Palestinian state.

The terrorist attack of September 11thhas successfully focused the attention ofthe World Community on the Mideastconflict. The Antichrist, as the recog-nized leader of the World Community,will apparently arrive at an agreementwith Israel concerning settling the Arab-Israeli conflict. It seems that the attack onthe World Trade Center has hastened thatday.

The International Community seems tounderstand more clearly, since the attackon America, how it feels to be a victim ofterrorism. It is easy to see why they wouldsay to Israel, “If you unilaterally separatefrom the Palestinians, establishing lineswith which we agree, we will supportyou.”

It seems likely that the above scenariocould occur within the next 4-6 months.Things could drag out for another 2 or 3years. Whenever these developments takeplace, they will mark the beginning ofthe final seven years before Armageddon.

It is not always easy to foresee everyeventuality. However, if events open theway for the building of Israel’s ThirdTemple on the Temple Mount, we can bealmost positive that the final seven yearshave begun.

2. Jerusalem shared betweenJew and Gentile

In Revelation 11:1-2, John wasinstructed to measure the temple, but to

When news of the terror attacks first reached the Middle East, Muslim Palestinians were cap-tured on film dancing in the streets, indicating their the true feelings for America. Recognizingthe public relations nightmare, Arafat had most of the film was confiscated. He then ran to donateblood for the victims. These photos made the newswires.

not measure the outer court because itwould be trodden down of the Gentilesfor 42 months. This clearly prophesiesthat the temple will be under Israeli con-trol for the final 42 months beforeArmageddon, but the outer court of thetemple will be under Gentile control.

On October 11, 2001, President Bushcalled for the sharing of Jerusalem. Hestated that it should be the capital of boththe Palestinian state and the Jewish state.The 2,000 year-old prophecy and therecent sharing proposal of the U.S. presi-dent are in perfect agreement. This shar-ing arrangement will undoubtedly be oneof the provisions of the confirmation ofthe covenant.

3. A war that kills one-third ofmankind

The prophecy of Revelation 9:15-16simply states that an army of 200 millionsoldiers will trigger a war that will killone-third of mankind—2 billion people.

Mao TseTung, the late leader of China,boasted in his diary that China could fieldan army of 200 million. China has repeat-edly declared its intention to reuniteTaiwan with Mainland China, by force ifnecessary.

When Taiwan held her first democraticelections in 1996, China lobbed missilesfive miles off the Taiwanese coast. Chinahoped to intimidate Taiwan from holdingthese elections because she didn’t wantthe Chinese race to be infected by the dis-ease of democracy.

In order to protect Taiwan’s fledglingdemocracy, the United States sent twoaircraft carriers into the Straits of Taiwan.China had no weapons that could coun-teract these floating naval bases.Consequently, she was forced to backdown. However, China immediatelyplaced an order with Russia to purchasetwo Sovremenny ships. These ships areaircraft carrier destroyers. They are capa-ble of firing nuclear tipped missiles thatcan sink aircraft carriers with a single hit.China took delivery of these two ships inthe year 2000.

With the war on terrorism inAfghanistan, the United States has sentevery aircraft carrier that was in theWestern Pacific to the Middle East. Atthis time, we have no aircraft carriers inthe Straits of Taiwan. Stripped of this pro-tection, Taiwan is wide open to a surpriseattack from the mainland. Remember,

China has stated repeatedly that she iswilling to lose millions of men and majorcities in order to preserve the unity of theMotherland.

Another critical factor in this equationdeserves our attention. China presentlyhas 25 intercontinental ballistic missilesequipped with nuclear warheads. These“city-buster” bombs are ten times as pow-erful as the atomic bomb that wasdropped on Hiroshima in World War II.

It is almost certain that each of thesemissiles is aimed at U.S. cities. ShouldChina launch these nuclear weaponsagainst the United States today, 25 majorU.S. cities would cease to exist. The U.S.

has nothing to stop them. We have noanti-missile defense system in place.

President Bush has proceeded withplans to build an anti-missile defense sys-tem. However, it will not become opera-tional until 2004. In 2004, China willlose her ability to threaten the U.S. withnuclear attack should a conflict developover Taiwan.

Consequently, China finds herself in atwo-year window of opportunity. If she isgoing to make good on her threat to takeTaiwan, by force if necessary, the logicaltime to move is within the next twoyears.

With all of the U.S. aircraft carriers inthe Middle East, the most logical time forChina to make her move is right now!The bottom line is simply this—the ter-ror attack on America may have createdthe situation that will soon destroy one-third of mankind.

It should be noted that scripture doesnot specifically state that China will be

the source of the 200 million-man army.She does seem to be the most logicalchoice. However, one other entity onearth could conceivably provide theprophesied 200 million-man army—theMuslims. China has a population of 1.3billion. There are 1.2 billion Muslims inthe world. It is possible that the Muslimscould provide the 200 million-man armyspoken of in Revelation 9.

If the Muslims are the ones spoken of inthe prophecy, then the war that will kill 2billion human beings has just begun! IfChina is to be the 200 million-man army,the war could be launched at any time—probably sooner rather than later.

4. Temple built on the Temple Mount

Both II Thessalonians 2:3-4 andRevelation 11:1-2 clearly state that therewill be a Jewish temple on the TempleMount before and during the final threeand one-half years precedingArmageddon.

The new emphasis by the Bush admin-istration on some kind of settlement inthe Middle East and the stance in favor ofa shared Jerusalem can only expedite theprophesied building of Israel’s ThirdTemple.

5. Antichrist sits in the temple claiming to be God

The prophecy states that the man of sin(the Antichrist) will sit in the temple ofGod, claiming to be God (IIThessalonians 2:4). How could an inter-national leader such as the Antichrist eversit in the Holy Place claiming to be God?

President Bush’s proposal to shareJerusalem, which was first put forward byBill Clinton at Camp David, willinevitably also call for the sharing of theTemple Mount, which is the core ofJerusalem.

Anticipating this, former Israeli PrimeMinister Ehud Barak actually proposedthe sharing of the Temple Mount betweenJew and Muslim. Understanding thepotential conflict of such an arrangement,Barak suggested that the UN could begiven supervision over the Temple Mountfor the purpose of maintaining order. Thiscould explain how the internationalleader of the world, the Antichrist, willbe able to stand on the Temple Mount,claiming authority and sovereignty there.

If the Muslimsare the ones

spoken of in theprophecy, then

the war that willkill 2 billion

human beingshas just begun!

n/d 01 mag 11/26/01 2:10 PM


6. The Great TribulationThe Antichrist sitting in the temple

claiming to be God is referred to in scrip-ture as the Abomination of Desolation.The Abomination of Desolation is theevent that triggers the prophesied time ofgreat persecution called the GreatTribulation.

Jesus said in Matthew 24:15-21,“When ye therefore shall see the abomi-nation of desolation, spoken of by Danielthe prophet, stand in the holy place,(whoso readeth, let him understand:)Then let them which be in Judaea fleeinto the mountains…For then shall begreat tribulation, such as was not sincethe beginning of the world to this time,no, nor ever shall be.”

The Great Tribulation will be a cam-paign against the religious and politicalnon-conformists of the world. Anyonewho will not buy into the all-encompass-ing religious system of Interfaithism andthe universal system of global governancewill be considered a threat to world peaceand harmony.

Since the attack on America, we haveseen an unprecedented emphasis placedon recognizing the validity of the greatreligions of the world. We are being toldrepeatedly that Muslims worship thesame God that the Jews and theChristians worship. President Bush hasstated that the Muslim religion is a “greatreligion.”

Muslims do not believe Jesus was theMessiah, or that He was God or even theSon of God. They do not believe Jesusdied on the cross, and they do not believethat He gave His blood for the sin ofmankind. The Bible tells us that thosewho do not believe that Jesus is come inthe flesh are antichrist. To deny that Jesusis God is to deny God Himself. TheMuslim religion is not a great religion. Itis paganism, and it denies the atonementaccomplished by Jesus Christ on the crossof Calvary.

The present media campaign againstall who are not religiously inclusive ispreparing the way for the coming GreatTribulation.

7. Mark of the beastRevelation 13:15-18 describes the sys-

tem of security and identification thatwill be implemented during the time ofthe Antichrist. “And he causeth all, bothsmall and great, rich and poor, free and

bond, to receive a mark in their righthand, or in their foreheads: And that noman might buy or sell, save he that hadthe mark, or the name of the beast, or thenumber of his name.”

As a result of the terrorism ofSeptember 11th, a cry has gone out fornew systems of safety and identification.Advocates of one-world government havelong campaigned for a national ID card.Americans, loving freedom and privacy,have adamantly resisted every effort bythe government to impose such a system.In the aftermath of the recent terrorism, anational ID has once again been givenconsideration. Britain’s Prime MinisterTony Blair has announced the institutionof a national ID card in Great Britain.This card will be required in order to fly,buy gasoline, or open a bank account. Inother words, you will have to have it inorder to function in British society.

Prime Minister Blair and PresidentBush discussed the possibility of nationalID cards together. It is easy to see how thetragedy of September 11th is acceleratingthe march of society straight into thearms of the mark of the beast. Our latestreports, thankfully, are saying thatPresident Bush does not favor a nationalID card for America at this time.

As we can see, almost every major

prophecy for the time ahead has beenimpacted by the terror attacks onAmerica. The confirmation of thecovenant and the war that kills one-thirdof the world’s population could come topass literally within months. Never hasthe urgency been so great!

So what should we do? As we see all the prophecies of the

endtime moving swiftly toward fulfill-ment, our first reaction should be toreaffirm our own personal salvation.Jesus said in Matthew 24:44, “Thereforebe ye also ready: for in such an hour as yethink not the Son of man cometh.” Jesustold us that we must be born again inorder to become a part of the kingdom ofheaven.

After we have obeyed the biblical planof salvation, then we should enthusiasti-cally share the gospel of Jesus Christ withevery person possible. Jesus said inMatthew 24:14, “And this gospel of thekingdom shall be preached in all theworld for a witness unto all nations; andthen shall the end come.”

If we are ever going to evangelize theworld, the time is now! If we ever plan toreach our lost loved ones, it must be now!Remember, we must work while it is day;for “the night cometh, when no man canwork.” ❏

It was a day to remember...But was it a day foreseen?

BY EDDIE SAX

The Bible prophesies thedestruction of Babylon inthe 18th chapter ofRevelation. Many of theevents that happened in

New York City on September 11th borean eerie resemblance to parts of this

prophecy. Some of the similarities arehard to ignore. Many have asked, so let’stake a look.

It has been widely taught in recentyears that, while Revelation 17 describes“religious” Babylon, Chapter 18 portrays“economic” Babylon. Political Babylon iselsewhere. The three Babylons are taughtto be separate. Based on this theory, it isreasoned that the United States, repre-sented by its financial center, New YorkCity, is economic Babylon.

The frightening images captured andimmortalized on the fateful day of the ter-ror attack resembled some of the prophe-cies about Babylon in Revelation 18,leading many to wonder if this prophecyhas now been fulfilled.

Apparent Similarities—Mystery Babylon vs. New York City

Covered head to toe in soot, people make their way amid debris from the World Trade Center. We read in Revelation 18:17-19: “For in one hourso great riches is come to nought... And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!... And theycast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city..." Was this prophecy fulfilled on September 11?

Is New York City…Mystery Babylon?Was Revelation 18 Fulfilled on September 11, 2001?

utterly burned with fire: for strong is theLord God who judgeth her.” It did happenin one day – death, mourning and fire.

9b-10: “they shall see the smoke of herburning, Standing afar off for the fear ofher torment, saying, Alas, alas, that greatcity Babylon, that mighty city! for in onehour is thy judgment come.” Muchsmoke, many standing afar off seeing thetorment, the towers fell in just over anhour.

19: “And they cast dust on their heads,and cried, weeping and wailing, saying,Alas, alas, that great city, wherein weremade rich all that had ships in the sea byreason of her costliness! for in one hour isshe made desolate.” The images of peopleescaping from the buildings covered headto toe in soot comes mightily close to thisverse. Many were certainly made rich bythe activities at the World Trade Center.

21: “And a mighty angel took up astone like a great millstone, and cast itinto the sea, saying, Thus with violenceshall that great city Babylon be throwndown, and shall be found no more at all.”The World Trade Center is no more.

A Closer Look at the SimilaritiesSo it seems like a fit. But wait. Let’s

look a little closer at some of these con-clusions.

Revelation 18:2 begins: “Babylon thegreat is fallen, is fallen.” We have yet toprove whether or not New York City iseconomic Babylon. So this scripture,however poetic, offers us no proof.

8: “Therefore shall her plagues come inone day, death, and mourning, andfamine; and she shall be utterly burnedwith fire: for strong is the Lord God whojudgeth her.” Taking a second look at thisverse, we should recognize that faminewas, in no way, a result of this catastro-phe. Furthermore, the word “utterly”denotes absoluteness and totality. Thesubject is economic Babylon, not a fewbuildings of the many located in lowerManhattan. The New York StockExchange was not destroyed. The marketsare open. The word “utterly” does not fit.

19: “And they cast dust on their heads,and cried, weeping and wailing, saying,Alas, alas, that great city, wherein weremade rich all that had ships in the sea byreason of her costliness! for in one hour isshe made desolate.” Nobody cast dust ontheir own heads in an act of mourning asthey saw their money going down the

tubes. The people covered head to toe insoot were escaping for their lives. Toliken this verse to those covered in soot isirresponsible.

21b: “Thus with violence shall thatgreat city Babylon be thrown down, andshall be found no more at all.” The citywas not thrown down, only a few build-ings. We cannot say that “the city” shallbe found no more. Only the World TradeCenter shall be found no more.

It has been said that the United Statesis Babylon of Revelation 18. When con-fronted with the fact that Babylon is acity, not a country, it is contended thatthe U.S. is represented by its financialcenter, New York City. We now see thatin order to really link the descriptiongiven to us in Chapter 18, we must fur-ther narrow Babylon down to a few spe-cific office buildings, while overlookingthe fact that trading has now resumed.

More Problem Verses in Chapter 18

Verse 2 states that Babylon’s fall resultsin her being “the habitation of devils, andthe hold of every foul spirit, and a cage ofevery unclean and hateful bird.” This doesnot fit.

According to verse 9, leaders of nations

world over, who have committed fornica-tion and lived deliciously with her,should be in great mourning right now.But they are not.

Verses 11-14 prophesy that “the mer-chants of the earth shall weep and mournover her; for no man buyeth their mer-chandise any more:” Obviously not ful-filled.

Verse 16 describes Babylon as being“clothed in fine linen, and purple, andscarlet, and decked with gold, and pre-cious stones, and pearls”. This neitherdescribes the World Trade Center, norlower Manhattan, nor the City of NewYork, nor the United States of America.

Verse 23 states that by the sorceries ofthis Babylon “were all nations deceived.”In what way were all nations deceived?

Verse 24: “And in her was found theblood of prophets, and of saints, and of allthat were slain upon the earth.” Does thisdescribe New York or the U.S.A.? No, itdoes not. Neither New York nor theUnited States has ever been involved inreligious persecution. It simply does notfit.

Summary to dateOnly the World Trade Center fell, not

Wall Street, not the city, not the country.

Revelation 18:8 says Babylon shall be utterly burned with fire. Verses 11-14 prophesy that "themerchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandiseany more:" The photo above was taken from the floor of the New York Stock Exchange onMonday, September 17, six days after the attacks. Obviously, Revelation 18 has not beenfulfilled.

The word “utterly” can only apply to afew buildings. Stocks are trading. Nofamine took place. There is no record ofpeople casting dust on their heads inmourning. The city can still be found. Avery small percentage of those who workin “economic Babylon” lost their lives.Nations are still doing business withWall Street. Her merchandise is stillbeing bought. She is not clothed in pur-ple and red. She does not deceive by sor-ceries. And she has no record of killingprophets and saints.

Regardless of whether you have beentaught in the past that Babylon is theUnited States, New York City, the WallStreet district, or the specific buildings ofthe World Trade Center, Revelation 18does not fit. Yes, there are some strikingsimilarities, but that’s as far as one shouldgo.

Babylon of Revelation 18 =Babylon of Revelation 17

By comparing certain scriptures inRevelation 18 with parallel verses inChapter 17, we will prove beyond allshadow of a doubt that the Babylon of 17and 18 are one and the same. Then wewill proceed to identify who Babylonreally is.

First, we will compare Revelation 17:2with 18:3 and 18:9:

“With whom the kings of the earthhave committed fornication, and theinhabitants of the earth have been madedrunk with the wine of her fornication(17:2)... For all nations have drunk of thewine of the wrath of her fornication, andthe kings of the earth have committedfornication with her, and the merchants ofthe earth are waxed rich through theabundance of her delicacies (18:3)... Andthe kings of the earth, who have commit-ted fornication and lived deliciously withher, shall bewail her, and lament for her,when they shall see the smoke of herburning (18:9).”

Clearly, these two chapters describe thesame entity. It would be hard to concludeotherwise. Now compare Revelation 17:4with 18:16:

“And the woman was arrayed in purpleand scarlet colour, and decked with goldand precious stones and pearls, having agolden cup in her hand full of abomina-tions and filthiness of her fornication(17:4)... that great city, that was clothedin fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and

decked with gold, and precious stones,and pearls! (18:16).”

According to these verses as well,Revelation 17 and 18 describe the sameBabylon.

There’s more. 17:6a versus 18:24a:“And I saw the woman drunken with

the blood of the saints, and with theblood of the martyrs of Jesus (17:6)... Andin her was found the blood of prophets,and of saints (18:24).”

Enough said.

Babylon’s Destruction Is at Armageddon

Now that we have proven that therecan be no distinction between theBabylon of one chapter to the next, let’slook at two more parallels. Revelation14:7b-8 speaks of Babylon’s fall.

“…for the hour of his (God’s) judg-ment is come... Babylon is fallen, is fall-en, that great city, because she made allnations drink of the wine of the wrath ofher fornication.”

We can see that this description isidentical to 17:2, 18:3 and 18:9.Revelation 18:2 also uses the “Babylonthe great is fallen, is fallen” terminology.And we see that the fall of Babylon is thehour of God’s judgment.

The final parallel is found in the 7thVial. This is where the rubber meets the

road on trying to parallel Revelation 18with the events of September 11th. Weare about to see that the destruction ofBabylon occurs not on September 11,2001, but at the time of the Battle ofArmageddon.

Revelation 16:16-21 clearly states thatthe events of the 7th Vial include theBattle of Armageddon. According toverse 19 they also include the judgmentupon Babylon. “And the great city wasdivided into three parts, and the cities ofthe nations fell: and great Babylon camein remembrance before God, to give untoher the cup of the wine of the fierceness ofhis wrath.” The judgment upon Babylondescribed in the 7th Vial is furtherdescribed in Chapters 17 and 18. We willprove this by paralleling 16:19 with 18:5.

“…great Babylon came in remem-brance before God, to give unto her thecup of the wine of the fierceness of hiswrath (16:19)... For her sins have reachedunto heaven, and God hath rememberedher iniquities (18:5).”

This remembrance by God is followedby a description of the fierceness of Hiswrath. It’s His judgment. The subject ofRevelation 17 and 18 is the judgment ofthe great whore (17:1). Chapter 18describes this judgment – the fiercenessof the plagues and wrath that He willpour out upon her.

Prophecy Insight

Revelation 17 depicts a woman riding a red-colored beast, and gives us clues as to her identi-ty. Revelation 18 goes on to describe what happens to her. The two chapters are one continu-ous stream of thought; they cannot be separated!

In summary, the Babylon of Chapter 17is the Babylon of Chapter 18. Its fall isthe hour of God’s judgment (14:7-8),which includes the judgment of the greatwhore (17:1). It is when God remembersher (16:19, 18:5). The 7th Vial occurs atthe time of the Battle of Armageddon,and therefore, the judgment of the greatwhore described in Chapter 18 occursthen too.

So Who Is Babylon of Revelation 18?

Now that we have taken great pains toprove what Babylon is not and why shedid not fall on September 11, 2001, let’ssee who she is. Revelation 18 describesher judgment, but Chapter 17 tells us heridentity. We are given several unmistak-able clues:

Verse 18 tells us that the woman is acity. Verse 15 teaches that she is also aninternational system, sitting on peoples,multitudes, nations and tongues. Verse 9explains that the woman (the city) sits onseven hills. Verse 4 says that the woman isarrayed in purple and red. According toverse 6, the woman was to be a great per-secutor of God’s people.

There is a very powerful force on thisearth that fulfills every one of theseprophecies to the letter.

Rome is a city. It is universally knownas “The City of Seven Hills.” It is theheadquarters for the Roman CatholicChurch, which claims one billion mem-bers from all over the world.

There are two ruling bodies in theCatholic Church—the Cardinals whowear red, and the Bishops andArchbishops who wear purple. Historytells us that the Vatican and the papacyhave been responsible for the deaths of atleast 50 million Christians over the last1,700 years.

The Vatican fulfills this prophecy soaccurately it is astonishing. Rome is theMystery Babylon in Revelation 14, 16,17 and 18. It is not America, and it is notNew York City.

On the surface, the parallels betweenRevelation 18 and the terror attack arestriking and worthy of a second look. Thesecond look, however, reveals that there isno connection. ❏

The Globalist Perspective

Jim Garrisson serves as President ofMikhail Gorbachev’s State of the WorldForum. The State of the World Forum is athink-tank of prestigious world leaders. Itsgoal is to determine the course that global gov-ernance should take as we move into the 21stCentury. The following op-ed piece by JimGarrison articulates the view of Gorbachev’sState of the World Forum and those whobelieve that one-world government is the onlyanswer to the myriad problems confronting ourworld.

On September 11, 2001, weAmericans lost our senseof invulnerability andjoined in the universalityof human suffering. Not

only for a moment did the world becomeAmerica, as so many noted, but Americabecame the world.

As we mourn our dead, let us alsomourn the frailty of the human spirit andhumanity’s incapacity to be consistentlyhumane. As painful as our agony is here,what America has just suffered is whatothers throughout the world have experi-enced, sometimes with even more devas-tating impact, and sometimes at thehands of Americans. People around theearth are caught up in a complexity ofhatreds as both victims and victimizers:in Ireland, in the Middle East, in theBalkans, in Rwanda, in South Africa, inAfghanistan, in Cambodia, in Vietnam.

The list is endless.Given the enormity of the barbarity

America experienced, the Governmentwill certainly exact vengeance. Thedestruction of the World Trade Towersand the Pentagon were veritable acts ofwar against the United States. While weplan our vengeance, however, let us alsobe aware that, from the point of view ofour enemies, we are guilty of horrendouscrimes against them; thus their hatredagainst us. To plan such acts as whatoccurred on September 11, with such ahigh degree of sophistication and preci-sion, are not simply the acts of madmenbent on a binge of random destruction.They were calculated deeds deliberatelyconceived, meticulously planned andmethodically executed by men andwomen of such deep conviction that theywere willing to give their very lives asinstruments of the success of their mis-sion.

President Bush has rightly declaredwar against such terrorism. We mustknow that Osama bin Laden is a warriordedicated to more than just war; he isleading a holy war against the UnitedStates and Israel. He is not a diplomat; heis not a negotiator; he is not a compro-miser. He is a man of war who, ironically,was an ally of the CIA in the 1980s dur-ing the war in Afghanistan against theSoviets. He has been building his armyand his tactics for decades with an abso-

lutism that only elevating war to therealm of the holy can instill. He will killuntil he himself is killed. When we even-tually do this, as I assume we will, wemust understand that in his place willarise myriad new Osama bin Ladens,equally committed, equally impassioned,equally ruthless. When one fights firewith fire, fire is not always vanquished. Itcan lead to a conflagration that burnsbeyond any borders, particularly if one isfighting a fire that is considered holy.

As we seek his demise, it is perhapsworth reflecting on some truths providedby the Jewish holiday of Rosh Hashanah,now upon us. At the core of this com-memoration of the Jewish New Year liesthe story of Deborah, a woman judge ofancient Israel, whose leadership includedthe mourning of Sisera, the Generalagainst whom the Jews of the time werefighting. At the moment of victoryagainst him and also in the midst of theirgrieving for their own dead, Deborahintuited that the pain of the mothers onthe other side was just as intense as thatof her own people. In this, she understoodone of the great truths of all religions,that we are all one, which, if we can bearto think the thought, means that Osamabin Laden is us, and we are him, and weare all made of the same dust.

Bush and bin Laden are caught up inthe act of co-origination. In a deep andmysterious way there is a deep syn-

Attack on AmericaAn Op-Ed by Jim Garrison

chronicity of opposites coming togetherbetween them with a force that, if we canendure and live through it, can potential-ly redeem us. Bin Laden’s attacks cameagainst the two icons of American power:global capitalism in the World TradeCenter and U.S. military might in thePentagon. Adding insult to injury, thehijackers used American technology todestroy American symbols, transformingAmerican civilian airplanes into guidedmissiles against American institutions.Underestimating the enemy, Americanintelligence was caught completelyunprepared.

More deeply, the attack came againstperhaps the most conservative adminis-tration in modern American historywhich has been systematically withdraw-ing from all multilateral agreements andtreaties with the exception of those whichincrease American economic power.Paradoxically, the actions of September11 were taken against the son of the manwho organized the coalition of nations tofight Desert Storm, the catalytic point atwhich bin Laden turned his armiesagainst the Untied States. History hasbestowed upon George W. the task oforganizing a coalition against the manthat his father’s coalition turned into theenemy. The President, who is withdraw-ing from the world in order to maximizeAmerica’s freedom for unilateral actionsin the world, has been met by the ulti-mate unilateralist: bin Laden. The super-power has met the super-empoweredindividual.

To succeed, Bush the unilateralist mustbecome the premier multilateralist. Hemust forge a coalition of nations againstworld terrorism like the world is trying toforge to deal with global warming,nuclear disarmament, trafficking in smallarms, chemical and biological weapons,all coalitions and treaties from which hehas disengaged. Perhaps the ultimateirony of this complex set of interactions isthat this Administration might learn thatglobal cooperation and global gover-nance, meaning the alignments of nationstates around rules and norms for interna-tional priorities, deliberation and com-merce, actually serve the national securityinterests of the United States rather thanthreaten them.

Working within the complexity ofcoalitions might enable us to tackleanother complexity: that the war against

terrorism can only be truly won when wealso declare war on the roots which causesuch acts of barbarity: poverty, illiteracy,injustice, and disease. Terrorism does notarise in a vacuum but has it roots in his-torical, political, social and economic dys-functions so deep, so cruel, so systemicthat they create and sustain discontentuntil it spills over into a desperation thatsees no recourse other than wantondestruction against those perceived asresponsible for the plight of the terrorists.Unless there is an equally dedicatedattack on the causes of terrorism, therewill never be victory in the war againstterrorism.

Let us meet our measure of vengeancetherefore with an equal measure of mercy.

In so doing, perhaps we can come to real-ize that the world is not simply a roughterrain that needs to be made flat in orderto enable the global corporations, finan-cial interests and entertainment industryto have a richer harvest. While good forbusiness, free trade zones may not do jus-tice to the complexity of the world ecolo-gy with all its voices, cultures, historiesand traditions, all of which have theirown unique legitimacy and all of whichmust be given their rightful place ofhonor.

While at the level of politics we seekvictory over terrorists, at the level of heal-ing our redemption might come with ourwillingness to grapple with the complex-ities occurring around us: that when

opposites collide, they co-create; and it isprecisely our ability to hold the oppositesin a spirit of empathy and humility thatgenerates the capacity for the redemptionwe seek. If out of the present crisis theUnited States emerges more connectedwith the rest of the world, more willingto compromise national sovereignty with-in the context of the needs of the largercommunity of nations, more willing tolive cooperatively within coalitions thanoutside them, then light will have trulycome from out of the darkness andredemption out of the recesses of hatredand war. In one of the deepest paradoxesof contemporary history, the present crisismight compel America to reconnect withthe wellspring of values the rest of theworld intuits it needs America’s leader-ship in order to achieve.

If we can attain this level of under-standing, we will have learned the wis-dom of limits, that in an increasinglycomplex and interdependent world, nocountry is an island unique unto itself;and, since there are no longer frontiers towar, the only sustainable solution to hateis to stop the underlying causes that pro-duce it, working within the communityof nations to achieve goals that benefit thepoor as well as the rich, the south as wellas the north, the developing nations aswell as those more advanced. Achievingthis, America will fulfill the deepestyearning of one of its founding fathers,Benjamin Franklin, who wrote that hebelieved the real destiny of Americawould not be about power; it would beabout light.

These thoughts I pass your way, keenlyaware that many might disagree. I amdeeply sensitive to the fact that wisdom isa very elusive thing. We often have theexperience but miss the meaning. Itinvariably comes slowly, painfully, andonly after deep reflection. This is to saythat my thoughts now will change as mysubjective interaction with the eventitself changes, as they will with the pas-sage of time and the constant ebb andflow of the world situation. In a year wewill all look back on September 11 andview it completely differently than we dotoday. Let us all be humbled by this andmodulate our certainties accordingly; andlet us engage with each other with deep-ened empathy and compassion. ❏

On Tuesday morning,September 11th, Americawas caught off-guard,completely unpreparedfor an act of terror on such

a monstrous scale. My wife and I satstunned in front of our television as theunbelievable series of events unfolded.Like most Americans, we were horrifiedby the images of terror, pain and griefthat came across our set. We have beengripped by the scope of this tragedy and

sympathize with those in New York,Pennsylvania and Washington D.C. wholost loved ones.

Now America must respond…buthow? What do we need to know aboutour enemies, about ourselves and aboutGod’s purpose if we are to see victory inthis land?

The Heart of IslamIt is important for us to realize that

most of America’s six million Muslimsare not terrorists. A majority, I believe,

are peace-loving and decent citizens wholove this country. Although we as Bible-believing Christians disagree with manyof their religious beliefs and practices,and must not support them, it would bewrong to persecute Muslims for theirfaith. Rather, we must go out of our wayto show them the love of Jesus Christ,hoping they will receive His gift of for-giveness and eternal life.

Having said this, we must neverthelessbe aware of the fact that Islam has histor-ically been a bloody religion. This is part-

America’s Wake-UpCall

ly due to the strong influence of violentsecret societies in Islamic culture and thewide acceptance of peripheral religiouswritings that promise a better place inparadise — including a harem of 72 vir-gins — for those men who die while tak-ing the lives of “unbelievers.” It is alsodue to Islam’s holiest book, The Koran,which is militant in its views towardChristians and Jews. Consider the follow-ing quotes taken directly from TheKoran:

p. 2 of introduction (Islamic viewof Jews & Christians) “The Koranaccuses the Jews of corrupting theScriptures and the Christians of wor-shipping Jesus as the son of God,although He had expressly com-manded them to worship none butHim.”

Surah 5:51 (No friendship withJews or Christians) “Believers, takeneither the Jews nor the Christiansfor your friends. They are friendswith one another. Whoever of you

seeks their friendship shall becomeone of their number. God does notguide the wrongdoers.”

Surah 9:73 (Make war on unbe-lievers) “Prophet, make war on theunbelievers and the hypocrites anddeal rigorously with them. Hell shallbe their home: an evil fate.”

Surah 9:5 (Slay the idolaters/unbelievers) “When the sacredmonths are over slay the idolaterswherever you find them. Arrestthem, besiege them, and lie inambush everywhere for them.”

Surah 5:33-34 (Enemies should beslain or crucified) “Those that makewar against God (Allah) and Hisapostle (Muhammad) and spread dis-order in the land shall be slain orcrucified or have their hands and feetcut off on alternate sides, or be ban-ished from the land.”

Surah 47:3-6 (Behead the enemy)“This, because the unbelievers followfalsehood, while the faithful follow

the truth from their Lord. Thus Godlays down for mankind their rules ofconduct. When you meet the unbe-lievers in the battlefield strike offtheir heads and, when you have laidthem low, bind your captives firmly.Then grant them their freedom ortake a ransom from them, until Warshall lay down her burdens. Thusshall you do. Had God willed, Hecould Himself have punished them;[but He has ordained it thus] thatHe may test you, the one by theother.”

Surah 4:99 (Special reward foraggressive martyrs) “He that leaveshis home in the cause of God shallfind many a refuge in the land andgreat abundance. He that leaves hisdwelling to fight for God and Hisapostle and is then overtaken bydeath shall be recompensed by God.Surely God is forgiving and merci-ful.”

for unbelievers) “Those that haveembraced the true Faith and donegood works shall enter the gardens ofdelight; but the unbelievers whohave denied Our revelations shallreceive an ignominious punish-ment.”(Source: The Koran, Translated by N. J.

Dawood, Penguin Books, London, 1999)Many Muslims in the United States

have probably never read all of the Koranor, at least, do not take all of its decreesliterally. The problem is, if they keeptheir innermost beliefs to themselves,

how do we distinguish those Muslimswho accept all of The Koran’s teachingsfrom those who do not. If only one in athousand were willing to kill for theirfaith we could be in serious trouble. Iwould not be surprised if there are hun-dreds, if not thousands, of potentialIslamic terrorists in this country at thisvery moment…not a pleasant thought!

Our leaders will need great wisdomand discernment to deal with this delicatesituation. How does one protect peace-loving Muslims while punishing thosewho approve of terrorism, if one cannot

tell the difference?

The Goal of TerrorismI first became a student of global reli-

gious and political trends during the1980s when I was the Europe and MiddleEast Trade Specialist for the governmentof Indiana. My travels took me to over 20countries where I worked hand-in-handwith U.S. Embassy personnel who wereresponsible for arranging most of mymeetings. Through my contacts at theembassies and in the international busi-ness community, I soon discovered thatthere was a concerted effort underway toestablish a one-world government. Apush was also being launched to unify theworld’s religions into one collectivewhole. Various Interfaith/New Age meet-ings were being planned to make thishappen. I wrote about these develop-ments in my two books En Route to GlobalOccupation and The New World Religion inan attempt to warn the world, particular-ly Christians, of things to come. If wewere forewarned, we could perhapsbecome spiritually prepared for the diffi-cult times ahead.

As a result of my research, I becamefully convinced that terrorism is animportant part of the one-world agenda. Ibelieve Satan is using it to apply pressureon Western society to get people to goalong with a solution that under normalcircumstances they would never accept. Ifhumans could be brought to the pointwhere they thought the world was on theverge of destruction, then perhaps theymight finally be willing to embrace aone-world political/religious systempromising to bring peace while solvingEarth’s many problems.

If this conclusion is accurate, then wecan be certain that Osama bin Laden andhis Taliban supporters are not actingalone. The Al Qaeda network of terroristsis vast and has a large secret support basethroughout the Islamic realm and aroundthe world. During my years with the gov-ernment I discovered that secret societiesare a big part of Middle Eastern culture(and have a significant influence in othernations too). The most dominant of thesesocieties is Freemasonry.

A prominent Arab-Christian leader inLebanon once told me that King Assad ofSyria was a Mason. He thought thatSaddam Hussein was as well, although hecould not verify it. Many of the most


What motivated the September 11 attacks? Saudi dissident Osama bin Laden leans moretoward scriptures in the Koran such as Surah 9:73: “Prophet, make war on the unbelievers andthe hypocrites and deal rigorously with them...”

n/d 01 mag 11/26/01 2:12 PM

influential globalists who are pushing theone-world agenda are also Masons,including Mikhail Gorbachev. Recentlywhile doing a talk show in California, thehost, Dr. Stan Monteith, told me that henow has documentation proving thatGorbachev became a Mason while inEngland.

The fact is, secret societies have an ulti-mate goal. This is why they exist and whythey are secret. (As is the case withMuslims, many Masons are naivelyinvolved and have no idea of what theirorder is about at its highest levels.) Onpages 144-145 of En Route to GlobalOccupation, I wrote about their hiddenagenda: “In August 1871, Albert Pike,the head of Scottish Rite Freemasonry…described a distant final war, which hefelt would be necessary to usher in theNew World Order. According to Pike,this conflict between two future super-powers would be sparked by first ignitinga crisis between Islam and Judaism.” Hewent on to state:

We shall unleash the nihilists andthe atheists and we shall provoke agreat social cataclysm which, in allits horror, will show clearly to allnations the effect of absolute athe-ism, the origin of savagery and ofmost bloody turmoil. Then, every-where, the people, forced to defendthemselves against the world minor-

ity of revolutionaries, will extermi-nate those destroyers of civilization;and the multitudes, disillusionedwith Christianity whose deistic spir-its will be from that moment onwithout direction and leadership,anxious for an ideal but withoutknowledge where to send its adora-tion, will receive the true lightthrough the universal manifestationof the pure doctrine of Lucifer,brought finally out into public view;a manifestation which will resultfrom a general reactionary movementwhich will follow the destruction ofChristianity and atheism, both con-quered and exterminated at the sametime.I continued to write, “Should such a

crisis be permitted to occur, the amountof destruction would be staggering.Humanity would tremble with fearbelieving that man is about to destroyhimself… It would be a time of despairand mass confusion. Add to this theresulting chaos of global financial mar-kets, which are already on the brink ofdisaster; the economic turmoil wouldonly contribute to the world’s state ofpanic.

Once such a war began, there would beno guarantee that the United States orEurope would remain entirelyunscathed.” I penned these words in

1987. The book went to print in 1991. Ihad no idea how close this depictionmight eventually come to reality.

America’s DestinyWhere does America fit in, and what

role, if any, is it playing in shaping theemerging global government? Duringthe last century our beloved country hasbeen blessed beyond measure. By thegrace of God and through His favor, it hasrisen to become the wealthiest and mostpowerful nation on Earth. However, sinceWorld War II the influence of the U.S.has increasingly been manipulated byinternationalists to accomplish their pur-pose.

Beginning in a major way with thefounding of the United Nations, the chieftask of the United States would be to“build” the New World Order. Only theU.S. had the wherewithal to put all of thepieces in place. It has been our financialresources, creative technology and cultur-al diversity that have made the occultNew Age dream of “one world” possible.We are also the only nation comprised ofpeople from all other nations, giving usan unparalleled influence over the rest ofthe world.

But now that we have taken humanityto the verge of global unification throughthe United Nations, is there anything leftfor us to do? Has the United States ful-

filled its destiny in the eyes of globalplanners? How might the answer to thisquestion affect our future?

If global leaders still have a purpose forAmerica in their overall scheme of things,then perhaps we have a bit more time.But, if in their eyes, we have achieved ourpurpose, then we are expendable andcould soon be eliminated from the pic-ture. I addressed these possibilities in EnRoute to Global Occupation. Regarding thefate of America, I wrote:

Having gained some idea ofAmerica’s role in building the NewWorld Order, the only remainingquestion I had was ‘What will hap-pen to the U.S. once it has fulfilledits mission?’ There is some disagree-ment among researchers on thisquestion. Some believe thatonce we have entered theNew World Order, Europewill be made the headquar-ters of the world govern-ment. Others believe that theseat of power for the worldgovernment will be in theUnited States, specifically inNew York City.

As things currently stand,New York would be the log-ical choice to be the world’scapitol, given the fact that itis the most powerful andinfluential city in the worldand that the United Nations,the Council on ForeignRelations, and the TrilateralCommission are all head-quartered there. However,the secret hierarchy ofEurope, which is still ulti-mately in charge, might havedifferent plans. If they intendto locate the world capitol in Europe,they will find a way to do so. Such adecision, however, would probablyinvolve either the economic devasta-tion or physical destruction of NewYork City. This could be accom-plished in several ways — economi-cally, through a planned collapse ofthe stock market or a severe depres-sion resulting from our excessivenational debt; or physically, as an actof terrorism, as a nuclear ‘accident,’or through a limited nuclear war.Whatever method would be selected,the European hierarchy, I believe,

would be capable of carrying it out(if God allows it).

Is New York destined for destruc-tion? I don’t know the answer to thisquestion, nor do I wish such a fateupon the people of that city. (page65)The current unfolding crisis could

determine America’s future, one way orthe other. Maybe the purpose of therecent attacks was merely to give Americathe “opportunity” to further lead the wayin uniting the world against a commonenemy — terrorism. At this very momentan unprecedented international coalitionis being built to combat this terriblemenace. But could this coalition and thesteps it puts in motion actually helpspeed the cause of global government?

Civil libertiesThe world’s unified response to terror-

ism, no matter how restrained, will onlyserve to strengthen the hand of govern-ment at the expense of personal liberty. Itwill lead to higher taxes, increased sur-veillance, less privacy and fewer freedoms,to say nothing of the many smaller incon-veniences such as having to arrive twohours early at airports for flight travel.All of these are natural responses by gov-ernments to protect their citizens, butrepresent a victory for terrorists nonethe-less. If national governments aren’t

extremely careful, these measures couldbe used to further empower the existinginternational infrastructure, leading usmore quickly to world government.

InterfaithismSeptember’s atrocities are producing

another result. The spirit of Interfaithismis running at an all time high in America.Every religious service I have witnessedon network television during the last twoweeks has been Interfaith in nature. Theeventual “success” of a world governmentwill depend heavily on the degree of reli-gious unity it can achieve throughout theworld. Chapters 13 & 14, of Revelation,describe a global political system thatwill use its economic and military mightto enforce a deceptive form of religious

worship. Once in place, this cor-rupt Antichrist system willbecome so invincible that onlythe return of Jesus Christ willstop it (II Thessalonians, chapter2).

We have considered onepotential scenario for America;but another possibility exists. IfAmerica has fulfilled her purposefor the cause of globalism, thecoming war could be a trapdesigned to bring her to ruin.How could this happen? Let’sconsider a potential sequence ofevents.

Future PosibilitiesIn the very near future

America will undoubtedly retal-iate for the evil perpetratedagainst her. Bin Laden expectsnothing less and will useAmerica’s response to unifyIslamic fundamentalists. He and

his supporters will do so by declaring aJihad (holy war). When this declarationgoes forth a sizable segment of the Islamicpopulation, not only in the Mideast, butelsewhere, could respond. If so, a secondand unprecedented wave of terrorismwould hit the U.S. and, possibly, Israel.But this would be just the beginning.

After multiple rounds of terroristacts — potentially ranging from biologi-cal/chemical warfare to the detonation ofnuclear devices — the impact on U.S. cit-izens and the economy would be devastat-ing. Completely preoccupied with man-aging these disasters, and in a state of dis-


If global leaders still havea purpose for America in

their overall scheme ofthings, then perhaps we

have a bit more time. But,if in their eyes, we have

achieved our purpose, thenwe are expendable and

could soon be eliminatedfrom the picture.

array, America would be in her weakesthour. If America’s historical enemies(Russia and China) were ever to make amove, this would be the time. Asunthinkable as it may seem, they coulduse such an opportunity “to finish us off.”

We have been led to believe that we arethe world’s only remaining superpower;but nothing could be further from thetruth. A number of former Soviet militaryleaders — some of them now Christians— have warned the United States thatwhile Russia appears to be economicallyweak, from a military standpoint she isstronger than ever. The fact is, Russia hasbeen engaged in a concerted militarybuild-up while we have been scalingback.

In my book The New World Religion, Idocument numerous aggressive state-ments made by Mikhail Gorbachev sincethe beginning of glasnost and perestroika.None is more troubling than the follow-ing. Speaking to the Politburo in 1987,he remarked:

Gentlemen, comrades, do not beconcerned about all you hear aboutglasnost and perestroika and democ-racy in the coming years. These areprimarily for outward consumption.There will be no significant internalchange within the Soviet Union,other than for cosmetic purposes.Our purpose is to disarm theAmericans and let them fall asleep.(page 135)Gorbachev is not alone in his views.

There are still forces in Russia (as well asChina) who would love to see Americabrought down.

Fortunately, a third and more opti-mistic scenario exists for the UnitedStates. If we, as a nation, repented of oursins — beginning with you and me —and if we humbled ourselves before God,I believe He would restore His protectivecovering over our nation and delay ourdoom, as He did with Nineveh many cen-turies ago. Our repentance would have tobe genuine and come from our leadershipdown. However, the clock is ticking.Time is short!

Setting the StageIf the year 2000 was a coming-out cel-

ebration for globalists, this year and theyears to follow promise to be a time ofimplementing the one-world agenda. Theevents and meetings being planned for

the rest of this year and beyond are specif-ically designed to give “teeth” to theUnited Nations and the cause of worldgovernment.

Global planners are covering all of thebases—from economics and Interfaithreligion to issues of sovereignty, gun con-trol, and laws on how to rear children.Paramount to the success of their global-ization efforts is the public’s acceptance oftheir extensive environmental program,which is intended to be the main vehiclefor achieving UN empowerment. Thecore document of their agenda is theEarth Charter, viewed as the “MagnaCarta” of the new-world civilization. Thechief spokesperson on behalf of theCharter is Mikhail Gorbachev.

Gorbachev officially unveiled theCharter during a formal ceremony inUrbino, Italy on June 8th. He hopes toget his Charter cleared through the UNby the end of next year, after which heexpects to move forward with the rapidimplementation of global government. Ifthe U.S. doesn’t cooperate in helping to“empower” the UN, Gorbachev and hisallies have hinted that the world govern-ment might be constructed around aunited Europe instead, with Russia at thehelm.

Enter the VaticanWorking closely with Gorbachev on

this agenda is Pope John Paul II. In TheNew World Religion, I share excerpts froma Denver Post article in which Gorbachevdescribes his special relationship with thepope:

I have carried on an intensive cor-respondence with Pope John Paul IIsince we met at the Vatican inDecember 1989…

The sense of mutual affection andunderstanding which resulted fromour meeting is to be found in each ofour letters.

I cannot help but say that we sharea desire to move forward and com-plete what we began together…

When I was with him, I realizedthat the pope had also played a rolein what we came to call the newpolitical thinking…

What I have always held in highesteem about the pope’s thinkingand ideas is their spiritual content,their striving to foster the develop-ment of a new world civilization.

Besides being pope, John Paul II isalso a Slav, and, of course, that toowas conducive to our mutual under-standing.

However, I remain convinced thatthe closeness of spirit that was estab-lished between us was of muchgreater significance than the fact thatwe both are Slavs…

It can be said that everythingwhich took place in Eastern Europein recent years would have beenimpossible without the Pope’s effortsand the enormous role, including thepolitical role, which he played in theworld arena (page 241).Gorbachev’s friendship with the pope

has not been in vain. On November 4thand 5th of last year, unbeknownst to thepublic, the pope hosted an unprecedentedglobal planning session. The Vatican webpage referred to the event as a meeting of“the world’s parliament.” With promi-nent European Union officials, thousandsof members of national parliaments, andpowerful dignitaries such as Gorbachev inattendance, this meeting eclipsed eventhe prestigious UN Millennium Summitas the most important gathering of polit-ical leaders last year. Amazingly, to thebest of our knowledge, not one Americantelevision network covered the event.

Along with playing a critical role inthe push for global government the popehas been at center-stage in Mideast diplo-macy, meeting with Yasser Arafat andnumerous other Arab leaders in the last18 months. Earlier this year the popeeven visited an Islamic Mosque in Syria.Western diplomats, recognizing theChurch of Rome’s influence, have regular-ly consulted with Vatican officials overthe Jewish/Islamic dilemma.

The end-time alliances spoken of in thebook of Revelation are quickly takingshape; the march toward a “new-worldcivilization” is gaining momentum. Evenas a fulltime researcher and writer on thissubject I am unable to keep up with all ofthe rapidly unfolding developments. Thestage is nearly set! ❏

Support Grows for Unilateral Separation

With no end in sight for Middle Eastviolence, the idea of unilateral separationis gaining support in Israel and amongcommentators in the United States. Suchsupport has accelerated all the more sinceSeptember 11th. Israelis, both right andleft, believe the only rational answer is todraw and impose their own well-defendedborders. The army already has the materi-al to build a fence between Israel andPalestinian controlled areas. If such asolution is implemented and then con-firmed by a World Community leader, itcould be the event called the “confirma-tion of the covenant” that begins the finalseven years to Armageddon.

Since the Palestinian intifada began 14months ago, the Jewish population inJudea-Samaria has grown by 17,000 andis in the process of absorbing about 300more families, according to the Council ofJewish Communities. Population nowstands at 227,000. Jewish presence in thearea known as the occupied territories orWest Bank, has been one of the majorpoints of contention between Israelis andPalestinians. The intifada was intended toreduce the settler population. It does notappear to be working.

Is Arafat Era Over?

Perhaps you have heard the joke. YasserArafat, concerned about his own mortali-ty, visits a psychic. “When will I die?” heinquires. “On a Jewish holiday,” shedeclares. “Which one?” he asks. “It does-n’t matter,” she responds. “Whenever youdie, it will be a Jewish holiday.”

In fact, Arafat’s days as Palestinianleader may be numbered. The murder ofAriel Sharon’s close friend and cabinet

minister Rehavam Ze’evi may have beenthe straw that broke the camel’s back. “Asfar as I am concerned,” said Sharon, “theera of Arafat is over.” Sharon is openlytalking of war. Under the surface there istalk of assassination.

Palestinian Authority security chiefCol. Jibril Rajoub, who controls a power-ful force of 2,500 agents in the WestBank, has presented himself as leadingcontender to succeed the still-living PLOchief. In October, he met with U.S. andEuropean diplomats frequently.Reportedly, Rajoub has close intelligenceties with Israel, the U.S. and the EU.

Lest We Forget Gorbachev

World statesman, Mikhail Gorbachev,kicked in his two cents worth on October20th, by warning that the U.S.-led inter-national coalition against terror mustbecome a coalition for a new world orderif it is to succeed. He said developingnations must be helped to overcomepoverty.

Gorbachev further advised that the UNSecurity Council should take the initia-tive in developing programs to this end,including worldwide nuclear and chemi-cal disarmament with control over theremaining stockpiles to be in the safehands of the UN.

Chris Patten, the EU’s external affairscommissioner, says that wealth redistrib-ution is a weapon against terror. Thissame sentiment is echoed by countlessother “elite intellectuals” around theworld.

Meanwhile...in the Taiwan Straits

U.S. Army Secretary Thomas Whiteannounced that 65,000 of the army’s

480,000 troops will be redeployed to theAsia-Pacific region as part of a new Bushadministration strategy. Presumably,China is on everyone’s mind. Theannouncement came prior to theSeptember 11 attacks. An early OctoberPentagon report calls the boost inAmerican military presence in Asia inpreparation for “a possible confrontationwith China.” In the wake of thisannouncement, however, the U.S. relocat-ed its only remaining aircraft carrier inthe region to the Arabian Sea to be closerto Afghanistan.

On August 24, the Chinese militaryflight-tested a medium-range nuclearmissile in the finale to its nation’s largestwar games in years. The missile had adummy warhead. The maneuversinvolved over 100,000 troops andamphibious assaults on a practice island.A pro-Beijing report stated that China’stroops were prepared for any possibleinterference from Taiwan and the U.S.Two days prior to this, the U.S. conduct-ed exercises in the South China Sea withtwo of its aircraft carriers.

U.S. intelligence agencies report thatChina now has over 350 short-range mis-siles at a base just opposite Taiwan. PaulWolfowitz, Deputy Defense Secretary,calls the buildup “destabilizing.”

Deputy Secretary of State RichardArmitage explained to Australia in nouncertain terms that the U.S. wouldexpect military help in any conflict “inthe Taiwan Strait.”

DEBKAfile, an Israeli-based intelli-gence source, has been reporting thatthousands of armed Muslim Chinesemilitia have been pouring over theAfghan border to aid the Taliban, andthat 15 have been killed. No other inde-pendent news source has verified thereports to date, so we remain unsure of itsvalidity. If true, however, it could haveextreme implications on U.S.-Chinese

relations. (Note: At press time, Bill Girtzof the Washington Times verified thereport.)

Many experts have been stating thatChina would not make a move againstTaiwan until she gained admittance tothe World Trade Organization. Thisbecame a reality in mid-September.

Europe at a Glance

EU/Tax: French Prime Minister LionelJospin came out openly supporting aglobal tax (the Tobin tax) on all interna-tional financial transactions. EU commis-sioner Frits Bolkenstein is proposing acommon tax system for all 15 EU mem-ber nations. President Jacque Chirac hascalled for an EU constitution by 2004.

EU/Unification: German ChancellorGerhard Schroeder has called for theintroduction of “ethical political princi-ples and international order to be estab-lished in the financial markets.” Formerleader Helmut Kohl acknowledged thatthe euro makes European unification irre-versible.

EU/Currency: An estimated 210 bil-lion in counterfeit euros are expected tobe laundered into the new Europeanmoney supply. Better off for the euro tostay cashless?

EU/Foreign Policy: French ForeignMinister Hubert Vedrine accused theU.S. of self-interest and high-handed uni-lateralism, this even before September 11.The word, “unilateralism,” is a diplomat-ic term used in the negative sense describ-ing one who is against globalism andtherefore, by implication, against worldpeace. No nation is to act unilaterallythese days. This means that to exercisesovereignty without full consensus fromthe International Community is a no-no.Where then is sovereignty?

EU/Language: France and Germany

are unhappy with the EuropeanCommission’s attempt to impose Englishas the dominant language of the EU. TheBible prophesies, however, that the lan-guage of the New World Order will beEnglish. This is signified by the mouth ofthe lion in the combined world govern-ment beast of Revelation 13:1-3. The lionrepresents Great Britain.

EU/Russia: British head Tony Blair isdeclaring a “new era” in relations betweenhis country and Russia. Both nations arerepresented in the Revelation 13 beast –the lion and bear. Vladimir Putin’s inten-sive post-September 11 lobbying effortshave placed Russia a hair’s breadth awayfrom joining NATO. Such a developmentwill further cement the fulfillment of theendtime one-world government beast.

Patriot Bill GivesUnprecedented Powers

By the time you read this, the PatriotAct may have passed both houses ofCongress and signed into law byPresident Bush.

Patriot, an acronym for ProvideAppropriate Tools Required to Interceptand Obstruct Terrorism, would make iteasier for the FBI to get secret wiretapsagainst suspected terrorists, as well as tomonitor e-mail and internet use believedrelevant to a criminal investigation. Itwould also allow authorities to searchhomes and property with a warrant, butwithout informing the owner until threemonths later if it is believed that doing sowould harm an investigation.

The Patriot Act would also penalizeAmerican banks from dealing with for-eign banks thought to have terrorist ties,and change immigration laws to allowsuspected foreign terrorists to be held forseven days without bail, without chargesbeing filed.

The Electronic Privacy InformationCenter is raising many concerns over thepending legislation, not the least ofwhich is that the bill would authorize theuse of Carnivore – an internet-trackingsystem that has been deemed by many inthe past to be so intrusive, it is clearlyunconstitutional.

But at this point, who can say no?

Anti-Muslim Witch Hunt

It happened before September 11th:Anti-terrorism agents from the FBIsearched the offices of a Middle EasternInternet service provider in Texas. U.S.Muslim leaders criticized the action as awitch-hunt and the result of pro-Israeliintimidation.

Since September 11, there has been nofurther comment from Muslim leaders onthis subject.

One of the clients of the net provider,InfoCom Corp., is the Al-Jazeera satellitetelevision network. Al-Jazeera has comeunder scrutiny for what some considerquestionable journalistic practices,including classifying the September 11hijackers as “terrorists,” while callingPalestinian suicide bombers, “martyrs.”

News from theFront OfficeConference Attendance Up Since9/11

Attendance figures at Irvin Baxter Jr.’sProphecy Conferences since September 11have been eclipsing all previous records.Over 1,000 came out to hear “the latest”in Odessa, Texas on October 18. Prior tothat, South Houston saw 1,300 two con-secutive nights; 500 came out on aWednesday in Austin, and another 500 inthe smaller community of Altus,Oklahoma.

The increased interest is attributed topeople wanting to better understand theprophetic implications of the terrorattack on America.

With such uncertainty of where eventsmay be leading, Irvin Baxter’s new book,The China War & The Third Temple, hascome into high demand as well.

Understanding the Endtime Re-Filmed in Houston

While in Houston in late September,Irvin Baxter Jr. and Eddie Sax re-filmedUnderstanding the Endtime—Level Oneat the Daystar Television Network’s KLTJTV-22 studios. As this magazine goes topress, the series is in post-production andwill be available at the end of November.

Three New Videos on TerrorAttack

Two weeks to the day after the terrorattack on America, the pair known toPolitics & Religion listeners as “Irvin andEddie” filmed a one-hour video that putthe tragic events of that day into aprophetic perspective. This video, too,

was filmed at the KLTJ TV-22 studios inHouston.

Rather than taking a current eventsperspective, the video presents theprophetic principles that people shouldbe tracking in the news as time marcheson. With these principles firmly undertheir belts, the viewers will be able toanswer for themselves at any point in thefuture how the events of September 11have accelerated the fulfillments of theseprophecies.

The lesson answers the question,“What will rise out of the ashes of theWorld Trade Center and the Pentagon?”Hence, the video title, Out of the Ashes.

On November 12, at the LeSeaBroadcasting Studios in South Bend,Indiana, Irvin Baxter films two more les-sons which cover the prophetic falloutfrom other perspectives. As we go topress, the specific video subjects and titlesare still to be determined.
