Euphrates River to Be Dried UpINREVELATION16:12, THEBIBLEPREDICTSTHATTHEEUPHRATESRIVERWILLBEDRIEDUPto prepare the way for the kings of the East to invade Israel. This
will happen at the time of the battle of Armageddon according to verse 16 ofthe same chapter. The battle of Armageddon will be the nal battle at whichtime Jesus will return and ght on the side of the nation of Israel. Immediatelythereafter He will establish his kingdom and usher in His one-thousand yearreign of peace. On January 13, 1990, the Indianapolis Starcarried the headlineTurkey Will Cut Off Flow of Euphrates for One Month. The article statedthat a huge reservoir had been built by Turkey. While lling up the reservoir,the ow of the Euphrates would be stopped for one month and a concreteplug for a diversion channel built. These things have now been done. With thisnewly built dam, Turkey has the ability to stop the Euphrates River at will. Theconditions for fullling this 1,900 year-old prophecy are now in place.

He emphatically stated that theIraq War was Saddam Hussein against the world. The United Nations troopsare continually referred to as the multi-national forces. The decision has beenmade to establish an interdependent community of nations that will rule the
world under United Nations authority. The Bible says that this will lead us intoa great world government. The formation of this government is at hand.

REVEALING THE FUTURE THROUGH BIBLE PROPHECY
PERSPECTIVE
STATEMENT OF FAITH We believe that
the Bible is the inspired Word of God, that
Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world, and
that He will come again to establish a kingdomthat shall never be destroyed (Daniel 2:44).
Those who are born again (John 3:35) will
have eternal life and rule as kings and priests
with Christ forever.
WHAT IS ENDTIME?In 1968, Irvin BaxterJr. discovered the United States and other
modern nations in the Bible. He also found
the Berlin Wall in the Bible and that one day
it was to be torn down, re-uniting Germany,
and that event would be the catalyst to spark
an international movement called the New
World Order. These things have now come to
pass. Irvin Baxter Jr., a Pentecostal minister,
began Endtime Ministriesin 1986 when he
wrote A Message For The President, a book
explaining the major prophecies 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 launch Endtimemagazine. The purpose of
the magazine is to explain the prophecies of
the Bible and to show that they are now being
fulfilled in intricate detail. Articles focus on
the soon return of Jesus Christ, the truth of
the Bible, and the need for salvation. Endtime
does not deal with doctrinal controversies, as
valid as they may be. This will be left to other
publications.

There is something quite foreboding about thousands ofpeople rioting, burning and killing over cartoonsespecially
when those thousands represent one-fourth of the worldspopulation. No matter how many times I am told that Islamis a religion of peace, I cannot seem to ignore:
1}All the Islamic suicide bombers.2}The crowds chanting Death to Israel! Death to the United States!3}The burning of embassies.4}The fact that 19 out of 19 of the 9/11 hijackers were avowedMuslims.
Now, Muslim prayer leader Yousaf Qureshi has announced amillion dollar reward to anyone that kills the man who drew thecartoons! In India, a politician in that nations largest state hasoffered an $11 million reward for the killing of any of the Danishcartoonists! What kind of beast is rampaging among us?
In this issue of Endtime, you will learn the implications of Hamastakeover of the Palestinian territories. What about Iranian PresidentMahmoud Ahmadinejads belief that he is the forerunner of theMuslim messiah, the Twelfth Imam? Ahmadinejad believes that atime of international chaos will usher in the Twelfth Imam, and thatit should occur within the next two years. And this man wants anuclear bomb?
Has the green power (Islam) replaced the red power(Communism) as the most dreaded force on planet earth? Is Islammentioned in the endtime prophecies of the Bible? Dont miss thearticle in this issue, Behold, a Green Horse.

Hamas is in power in the Palestinian territories.
They won four out of East Jerusalems six seats

* THE GREAT TRIBULATIONI have just completed Lesson 3 of Under-
standing the Endtime. I understand the
Abomination of Desolation and the road
to Armageddon. I do not understand what
the great tribulation is. Could you provide
a brief explanation? Also, when the Con-
rmation of the Covenant occurs, will the
Antichrist rule for 3.5 years? And what ex-
actly lasts 7 years? Will these questions be
answered in upcoming lessons? Thanks.
Denise Koehler
Reply| In Matthew 24:1521, Jesus
taught that the great tribulation would be-
gin at the time of the abomination of deso-
lation, which occurs 3.5 years before the
Battle of Armageddon, and would culmi-
nate at the time of Armageddon. Its at Ar-
mageddon that the worlds kingdoms are
removed and replaced with the 1,000-year
kingdom of Jesus Christ and His church.During this three and one-half year peri-
od of time, Satan will make war against the
saints. Revelation 12:12 describes it this
way: Woe to the inhabiters of the earth
and of the sea! for the devil is come down
unto you, having great wrath, because he
knoweth that he hath but a short time.
Another description of the great tribula-
tion is found in Daniel 7:2122. I beheld,
and the same horn (the Antichrist) made
war with the saints, and prevailed against
them; Until the Ancient of days came, and
judgment was given to the saints of the
most High; and the time came that the
saints possessed the kingdom.
A little later in verse 25, we are told
exactly how long the great tribulation
will last: And he shall speak great words
against the most High, and shall wear out
the saints of the most High, and think to
change times and laws: and they shall be
given into his hand until a time and times
and the dividing of time. A time is one
year, times is two years, and the dividing
of time is half a yeara total of 3.5 years.
How do we know this? Because the exact
same prophecy about the great tribulationis given in Revelation 13:57: And there
was given unto him a mouth speaking
great things and blasphemies; and power
was given unto him to continue forty and
two months And it was given unto him
to make war with the saints, and to over-
come them: and power was given him over
all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
To summarizefrom the conrmation of
the covenant to Armageddon will be seven
years. The Antichrist will assume power
halfway through this seven-year period.
This begins the great tribulation.
* RESTITUTION OF ALL THINGSThe times of restitution of all things is
mentioned in Acts 3:21. Is this a possible
reason the church goes through the tribu-
lation (does the church have restitutions
to pay for its sins)? What does this mean?
Lanis Johnson | Memphis, TN
Reply| Once we are born again, we do
not have to pay restitution for our sins.
Jesus paid for those in full by his death on
the cross. What then is the restitution of all
things? This refers to the Second Comingof Jesus when Satan will be bound and the
earth will be as God originally intended for
it to be before the fall. This speaks of the
millennial reign when the will of God will
be done on earth as it is in heaven.

&* QUANTUM LEAPIn Daniel 8, are the kings of Media and
Persia the eastern nations, and the king
of Grecia the western nations? Could this
be the Islamic peoples (Iran, Syria, maybe
even China) vs. the western union?
Verse 17 says, at the time of the end
shall be the vision. Is this the 2,300 days
(the last 7 years) in verse 14? Does the 6th
trumpet happen somewhere in the rst half
of this week when the he-goat smote the
ram? Verse 4 says the ram was pushing
(not conquering) to the west, north and
south, but the he-goat is broken and splitinto four parts where the Antichrist arises
from. Then the sacrice is stopped and
the abomination of desolation happens. Is
there a specic lesson that explains this?
Ive seen the level 1 lessons and several
others but havent seen this explained.
Dan Nordquist
Reply| Daniel 8 is a long prophecy cover-
ing the time from the overthrow of Babylon
by the Medes and the Persians in 539 BC
to the Antichrists destruction. Verses 18
depict the ascent to power of the Medo-
Persian Empire, and then its destruction
by the Grecian Empire in 331 BC. They do
not pertain to todays nations at all. The
one great horn in the forehead of the Gre-
cian goat was Alexander the Great. When
he died, four generals took his place.
Here the prophecy takes a quantum
leap, moving to the latter times of the four
divisions of the Grecian empire. The little
horn described in verse 9 is the coming
Antichrist. We know this because verse
11 says that the daily sacrice was taken
away by him. Daniel 9:27 and 11:31 tell us
that it is the Antichrist who will take away
the daily sacrice. Finally, in verse 25, theAntichrist stands up against the real Christ
and will be destroyed by him.
* ON EAGLES WINGSCan you give me scripture that states that
America is in the seven-year period? What
about America being the lions cub? Isnt
the symbol of eagles wings coming out of
the lion the symbol that Nebuchadnezzar
used for the Babylon Empire?
John | Indianapolis
Reply| In Daniel 7, Great Britain is the
lion, Russia is the bear, and the eagles
wings growing out of the lion represent
the United States. (See Lesson 1 of Under-
standing the EndtimeLevel 1).
The eagles wings dont show up again
in prophecy until Revelation 12:14, where
Israel is symbolized as a woman with 12
stars about her head, representing the
12 tribes of Israel. Satan is making war
against the woman at the beginning of the
great tribulation. The passage says: And
to the woman were given two wings of a
great eagle, that she might y into the wil-
derness, into her place, where she is nour-
ished for a time, and times, and half a time,from the face of the serpent. This appears
to describe the U.S. protecting Israel, just
before and during the great tribulation. It
is highly signicant that the U.S. is Israels
only friend and protector at this time.

* THE WISE SHALL UNDERSTANDMatthew 24:36 states that no man knows
the day and hour. Yet you state that if certain
conrming events happen, you will know the
day and hour. You will count forward 3.5 or
7 years forward from September 20, 2005
and know the day and maybe even the
hour. To me this seems to be a discrepancy.
This is why I suspect that Christians will be
raptured before the Conrmation of the
Covenant. I would appreciate very much if
you could explain this seeming discrepancy
and your reasoning as to when the rapture
occurs. Thank you.Fred Herschelman
Reply| There are two possible answers
to your question. In Daniel 12:1112 we
are told: And from the time that the dai-
ly sacrice shall be taken away, and the
abomination that maketh desolate set up,
there shall be a thousand two hundred and
ninety days. Blessed is he that waiteth, andcometh to the thousand three hundred and
ve and thirty days.
I have not yet heard a concrete explana-
tion of the gap between the 1,290 days and
the 1,335 days spoken of here. This variable
makes it impossible to predict with certainty
the exact time of the Second Coming.
The second thing to consider is that
some scriptures spoken to people 2,000
years ago may not be true about us today.
For example, in Acts 1:7, Jesus told His dis-
ciples: It is not for you to know the times
or the seasons, which the Father hath put
in his own power. This was certainly true
about that generation, since God told Dan-
iel that the understanding of these things
was reserved for the people of the time of
the end (Daniel 12:9). Yet, when referring
to the endtime, Daniel was told: and
none of the wicked shall understand; but
the wise shall understand.
When the Apostle Paul spoke about the
coming of the Lord in 1 Thessalonians 5:1
5, he said that the day of the Lord would
come as a thief in the night. But in verse
45 he added, But ye, brethren, are not in
darkness, that that day should overtake you
as a thief. Ye are all the children of light, and
the children of the day: we are not of the
night, nor of darkness. Paul explicitly states
that the coming of the Lord would only be a
surprise to those living in darkness.
* A SPIDER IN THE CASTLESince the scriptures in Ezekiel indicate that
Russia will command the Islamic nations
in the battle of Gog and Magog, dont you
think Russia is just playing possum, trying
to be a spider in the castle or a y on
the shoulder by attending the UN Security
Council meetings, so it can know how best
to lead those nations? How can the otherfour members be so blind as to believe that
Russia wants Iran to be censured by the
Security Council?Lynda Hughes Lowery
Reply| Lynda, you and I have the advan-
tage of understanding the prophecies of
the Bible. Consequently, we know exactly
what Russia is up to. The leaders of the
world are not availing themselves of this
advantage, even though they could. Your
assessment of the situation is right on.
* REVELATIONS DRAGONSince animals represent nations in scripture
(i.e., the leopard symbolizes Germany and
the eagle symbolizes the USA, etc.), could
the dragon of Revelation represent China?
I know it says the dragon is the devil, but
could it also refer to a nation controlled by
the devil?Belinda
Reply| It is true that the dragon is the
recognized symbol of China. However, the
beast described in Revelation 13 depicts
the world government of the endtime and
portrays the nations that will be included
in that world government. They include
the lion (Great Britain), the bear (Russia),
the leopard (Germany) and the ten-horned
kingdom from Europe. Then it states that
the dragon gave the world government
beast its seat, power and great authority.
Since this last-day world government is
the satanically inspired government of the
Antichrist himself and since Revelation
12:9 identies the dragon as Satan, I have
concluded that the dragon in Revelation
13 refers to the Devil and not China.
* MARK OF THE BEASTI thought I heard you say that the Antichrist
is revealed half way through the last 7
years. If that is true, does that mean thatthe mark wont be instituted until then? I
know that the rapture of the church hap-
pens at the last trump, so when does the
mark happen in relation to the rapture?
Daryl Williams
Reply| You are correct. The mark of the
beast cannot be implemented until the
beast (the Antichrist) is revealed. Accord-
ing to Revelation 13:5, the Antichrist will
reign 42 months. The mark of the beast
will be enacted some time during that 42-
month period.
As you pointed out, the rapture happens at
the last trump. The last trump is described
in Revelation 11:1519. That is when the
kingdoms of this world become the king-
dom of our Lord and his Christ. This hap-
pens at the Battle of Armageddon.

6TH TRUMPET WATCH
6TH TRUMPET| Iran dees
nuclear restraint
Tehran resumed full-scale uranium
enrichment after 27 of 35 IAEA member
nations referred them to the UN Security
Council. Condoleezza Rice told the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee that the
US would actively confront Iran and
called for $75 million to fund anti-Tehran
propaganda and opposition groups.
6TH TRUMPET| Russia equips
Iran for war
Iran plans to buy 29 TOR-M1 systems from
Russia. These surface-to-air missiles can
bring down aircraft and guided missiles at
low altitudes. The U.S. is pressuring Russiaon this missile deal. State Department
spokesman Adam Ereli said, Its
important to remember and underscore
that Iran is a state sponsor of terror, they
have engaged in actions that we think
are hostile and unhelpful, and that we
view this proposed sale in that context.
6TH TRUMPET| Syria will hide
Iran nukes
Janes Defense Weeklyreported that Iran
and Syria signed a strategic accord to
protect either country from international
pressure on their weapons programs.
Syria agreed to store Iranian materials
and weapons if Tehran comes under UN
sanctions and supply Iranian-sponsored
Hezbollah with weapons, ammunition
and communications. Iran pledged
to supply military aid to Syria, and to
help upgrade Syrian ballistic missiles
and chemical weapons systems.
6TH TRUMPET| Chinese
rms aid Iran military
The U.S. has placed sanctions on
several Chinese companies involved in
selling missile goods and chemical-arms
materials to Iran. Sanctions cover six
Chinese government-run companies,
two Indian rms and one Austrian
company. China reacted angrily to thesanctions saying the U.S. move was
not benecial to the two countries
cooperation in the non-proliferation eld.
6TH TRUMPET| Washington
worries Iran targeting US
Revolutionary Guards in Iran held a
conference on the use of weapons of
mass destruction, electromagnetic
pulse weapons and other technologies
under development for use against
the U.S. A congressional panel says
that even one nuclear weapon, used
in an EMP-style attack, would prove
catastrophic to the United States.
6TH TRUMPET| Will U.S. bomb Iran?
Republican and Democratic senators
say the U.S. may have to strike to deter
Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons.
John McCain (R-AZ) called the nuclear
standoff the most grave situation that
we have faced since the end of the Cold
War We may have no choice but to use
military force, said Frank J. Gaffney Jr.,
president of the Center for Security Policy.
6TH TRUMPET| Attack in the works
The New Yorker says American forces
entered Iran in 2005 to mark targets for
an assault. German Der Tagesspiegel
says the North Atlantic Treaty Organizationis considering a strike against Iran.
The U.S. is coordinating with NATO.
CIA Director Porter Goss requested
the Turkish Prime Minister to provide
military bases to the U.S. from where
they could launch an assault. Central
Command is planning possible actions
if diplomacy fails to thwart the Islamic
Republics nuclear bomb ambitions.

battling global Islamist extremism.
The Pentagon presented a four-year
strategy to Congress called The Long
War, replacing the war on terror. U.S.
commanders envisage a war unlimited
in time and space against global Islamist
extremism that may be fought in dozens
of countries simultaneously and for many
years to come. The report exposes U.S.
ambition to mastermind global security.
EU WATCH
EU WATCH| EU Constitution:
Time is Ripe
Pentagon Europes federalist leaders
say time is ripe for reviving the EU
Constitution. Ursula Plassnik, Austrian
foreign minister, said, We need to look
at what we want, how we want to live
in Europe, in our re-unied Europe,which is coming closer together.
The German chancellor said its
government, which will hold the rotating
presidency of the EU in the rst half
of 2007, has the clear intention of
reviving the European Constitution.
EU WATCH| Belgium will
be 14th to ratify
Jacques Delors, a former European
Commission president, is now helping the
commission revive the EU Constitution.
Thirteen countries have ratied it.
Belgium is close to becoming the 14th
EU country to ratify the EU Constitution,
which was put on ice last year following
the negative outcomes of French and
Dutch referendums over the document.
EU WATCH| European nations
urged to harmonize laws
The European Commission is pushing EU
countries to create order in their various
legal practices especially as governments
step up cooperation in the ght againstterrorism. Different legal practices mean a
court in one nation could dismiss criminal
evidence collected by police in another
country. Quick changes are not expected
as public support for the EU is feeble, but
with terrorist threats facing Europe, they
recognize that EU cooperation is essential.
MARK OF THE BEAST WATCH
MARK OF THE BEAST| Real ID
Act faces real challenges
Opposition is building against the Real
ID Act. Privacy-concerned groups fear the
new rules could force states to include
RFID chips on their driver licenses.
The Real ID Act of 2005, passed by
Congress last May requires standardized
driver licenses by 2008. The National
Conference of State Legislatures
estimated the cost of implementing
the REAL ID Act at $913 billion.
MARK OF THE BEAST| Public
accepts RFID
MasterCard and Visa say 1.5 million
RFID-enabled cards have been issued with
no customer complaints. But Lee Tien,
staff attorney for EFF said of RFID, These
people dont even know that theyre
carrying the [RFID] cards. If consumers
wait and hope for the best, it might be
too late. Privacy violations are not like a
lot of other kinds of violations. You dont
see them right away. He comparedprivacy violations with identity theft.

MARK OF THE BEAST| U.S. data
mining eliminates privacy
The U.S. government is developing a
computer system to collect massive
amounts of data to search for patterns
of terrorist activity. It is called Analysis,
Dissemination, Visualization, Insight,
and Semantic Enhancement (ADVISE),
with storage estimated at one quadrillion
entities. Few public documents mention
it. ADVISE involves data mining - collecting
a vast array of corporate and publiconline information and cross-referencing
it against U.S. intelligence and law-
enforcement records. ADVISE looks
very much like the Total Information
Awareness (TIA) that was canceled in
2003 due to public uproar. Data mining
is at the core of the argument raging
over government eavesdropping. It is the
process of extracting trillions of bits of raw
data from phone calls, e-mails, Internet,
airlines, car rentals, stores, credit card
records and a myriad of other sources.
The data is stored, organized, searched

Civil liberties groups red lawsuits at
President George Bush challenging the
legality of his domestic eavesdropping
program. An injunction was sought
prohibiting government surveillance of
communications in the United States
without judicial warrants. This illegal
activity is cloaked in the guise of national
security, said Bill Goodman, director
of the Center for Constitutional Rights
(CCR). The wiretap program has sparked
a debate about presidential powers. In
2002 Bush enabled the NSA to monitor,
without court warrants, the international
telephone calls and electronic mail of U.S.citizens with suspected ties to Al-Qaeda.

MIDDLE EAST WATCH
MIDDLE EAST| Study:
Internationalize Temple Mount
Israel and the Palestinians should allow
the international community to supervise
Jerusalems Temple Mount so says a
study carried out by liberal Jerusalem
think tank, the Jerusalem Institute for
Israel Studies, according to a report
in theJerusalem Post. Researchers
concluded that entrusting the authority
of the historical sites to an international
body is the preferable and the most
realistic option, provided that both sides
put their faith in the international body.
MIDDLE EAST|PA: Western
Wall is Moslem Property
The Palestinian Authoritys ofcial website
claims Moslem ownership of the Western
Wall, referring to the wall as the Al-Boraq
Wall. According to Moslem tradition, the
wall is the place where Mohammed tied
his horse, named Boraq, before ascending
to heaven. According to Rabbi Chaim
Richman, Director of the International
Department of the of the Temple Institute
in Jerusalem, the PAs denial of the
Jewish Temples existence is part of
a campaign to totally eradicate, erase,
and destroy all Jewish connection to the
Temple Mount, Jerusalem, and the land
of Israel. Richman said Islam has for
many years been waging a campaign to
destroy any evidence of a Jewish presence
on the Temple Mount. By destroyingthe remnants of the Jewish temples,
Richman said that the PA believes that it is
strengthening its hand in the nal status
negotiations with Israel over the status
of Jerusalem and the Temple Mount.
MIDDLE EAST|Olmert wants
permanent borders
Acting Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert
told the 6th Annual Herzliya Conference
that Israel would implement a second
unilateral disengagement from the West
Bank if the Palestinians fail to fulll
their road map obligations. He called for
full implementation of the U.S.-backed
Roadmap and pledged to meet a
commitment to remove unauthorized
settler outposts. Olmert told conference
attendees we support the establishment
of a modern, democratic Palestinian state
that will respect civil rights, but were
tired of declarations and empty promises.
Olmert added, the most important task
facing Israel today is the establishment of
the nal boundaries of the Jewish state.
MIDDLE EAST|Security
fence almost done
Israels security fence, which roughly
follows the Green Line will be nearly
nished by the end of March. The total
barrier is not expected to be complete until
next year. Court petitions, construction
permits and detailed on-the-ground
surveying have all served to lengthen
the fences estimated completion
time. Work on the project began after
Operation Defensive Shield in 2002
and proceeded rapidly, with more than
150 km. built during the rst year.
MIDDLE EAST|Settlers
face public wrath
Shlomo Riskin, the chief religious
spokesperson for theJerusalem Post,
said that the settlers are becoming
some of the most hated people in
Israel. Sectors most hated by the Israeli
population are the Palestinians, but
settlers are a close second. Among
left-wingers, hostility toward the settlers
ranked higher than hostility toward the
Palestinians. Settlers were sent as the
agents of every government of Israel
since the Six Day War, and successfully
turned the desert into a garden of fruits,
vegetables and owers, which were
exported throughout the world. They
have now become a demonized and
de-legitimized sector of Israeli society.
MIDDLE EAST|Egypt
prepares war with Israel
Knesset member Yuval Steinitz says that
Egypts arms build up over the past few
years has focused on the possibility of
future war with Israel. Steinitz, a former
professor of political science at Haifa
University and Chair of the Knesset
Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee,
says Egypt is a major supporter of
terrorism and that it is a mistake for
Israel to view Syria as its principle enemy,
while neglecting the Egyptian threat.

The Temple Institute has completed the
Techelet robe of the High Priest. The
azure blue robe sports 72 golden bells
alternating with 72 pomegranates. It

man needs rules and behavior to follow.

Talk about a political earth-quake! The world went tobed thinking that the terror-ist organization Hamas hadnished a few percentage
points behind Fatah in the Palestin-ian elections. It awoke to the shockingnews that Hamas, who has openly takencredit for many horric suicide bomb-ings in Israel, had won the elections bya landslide.
The vaunted Middle East peace pro-cess lay in tatters. How could civilizednations be expected to deal with anentity that had perpetrated 53 suicide
attacks, killing 289 Israelis and injuring1,649 since September 2000? (See page11) How could Israel live side-by-side
with a government whose charter spe-cically calls for her annihilation?
Immediately, the international spin-doctors attempted to nd some way topick up the pieces of the internationalcommunitys Roadmap for Peace.
The rescue effort resembled the manypictures we have seen of religious Jewsattempting to pick up the fragments ofbody parts blown to smithereens by aHamas suicide bomber. World lead-ers huddled frantically trying to decide
what should happen next.The Palestinians depend on interna-
tional welfare to exist. If the U.S., the
EU and other international benefactorscut off Palestinian aid, the Palestinianpeople might begin to starve and the
Palestinian territories disintegrate intochaos. Or worse yet, the Iranians mightstep in to make up the nancial short-fall, turning Palestine into an Iranian cli-ent stateif it wasnt already.
Yet, how could America and othernations at war against terror continueto fund an organization that was onthe ofcial U.S. list of terrorist entities?Hamas was born out of the MuslimBrotherhood, which also gave birth toOsama bin Laden. Even Egypt had out-lawed the radical Muslim Brotherhood.Oh yes, one other problem: It is againstthe law for the U.S. to give funds to any-
one on Americas ofcial terrorist list.So America openly declared, No mon-ey from the United States to Hamas.

Ex-president Jimmy Carter was quickto pronounce this as a mistake. By somesystem of convoluted logic, Carter be-lieves we should continue to fund amovement that nances the blowing upof women and children and the people
who voted that terrorist movement intopower. Perhaps this should not surpriseus since it was Carter who enforced the
embargo in 1979 that brought downthe government of Rhodesia (nowcalled Zimbabwe) and replaced it withthe reign of terror of avowed MarxistRobert Mugabe. Mugabe, faithful to hisMarxist principles, launched a programof land redistribution. Consequently,Zimbabwe has been transformed frombeing an exporter of food to a nation
with rampant food shortages.
Who is Hamas?The name Hamas stands for IslamicResistance Movement. The acronymcorresponds to an Arabic word, mean-ing: re, ardor, fervor, zeal, fanaticism.
Hamas was born in the Gaza Stripand the West Bank in 1987. It started asan offshoot of Egypts Muslim Broth-erhood. The Muslim Brotherhood wasfounded by Hassan al-Banna, a Wa-habbi Sunni Muslim. Wahabbism isan extremely strict form of Islam, notdissimilar to the brand pushed by the
Taliban.
In the early 1970s, Sayyid Qutb, aMuslim Brother, reached out to Osamabin Laden, the prodigal son of one ofSaudi Arabias leading families. The restof that story is now history.
In 1981, the Brotherhood assassi-nated Anwar Sadat for daring to makepeace with Israel. It had previously at-tempted the assassination of severalof Egypts leaders including President
Gamel Abdul Nasser. As a result, theBrotherhood is outlawed in Egypt untothis day.
The public face of the Muslim Broth-erhood is still based in Egypt, where theorganization continues to live and workdespite being banned by the govern-ment. It ofcially renounced violencein the 1970s. But the organization is
believed to be structured to conceal itsmilitant and jihad aspects. Most observ-ers speculate with some justicationthat the Brotherhood still calls the shotsfor its militant splinters like Islamic
Jihad and Hamas.
So what does Hamas really believe?As shocking as it is, we must face therealityHamas is in power in the Pal-estinian territories. They control Beth-lehem, four miles south of Jerusalem.
They won four out of East Jerusalemssix seats in the Palestinian Parliament.
They control eight major Palestiniancities in close proximity to Israel.
So what are their goals? What dothey believe? For straight and accurateanswers, here are exact quotes fromHamas founding charter:
Israel will exist and will continue toexist until Islam will obliterate it, just asit obliterated others before it.
The Day of Judgment will not comeabout until Moslems ght the Jews (kill-
ing the Jews), when the Jew will hide be-hind stones and trees. The stones andtrees will say, O Moslems, O Abdulla,there is a Jew behind me, come and killhim.
The Islamic Resistance Movementbelieves that the land of Palestine is anIslamic Waqf (trust) consecrated for fu-ture Moslem generations until JudgmentDay. It, or any part of it, should not be
squandered: it, or any part of it, shouldnot be given up. Neither a single Arabcountry nor all Arab countries, neitherany king or president, nor all the kingsand presidents, neither any organizationnor all of them, be they Palestinian or
Arab, possess the right to do that. This is the law governing the land
of Palestine in the Islamic Sharia (law)
and the same goes for any land the Mos-lems have conquered by force, becauseduring the times of (Islamic) conquests,the Moslems consecrated these landsto Moslem generations till the Day of
Judgment. There is no solution for the Pales-
tinian question except through Jihad.Initiatives, proposals and internationalconferences are all a waste of time and
vain endeavors. The Palestinian peopleknow better than to consent to havingtheir future, rights and fate toyed with,as is said in the honorable Hadith:
Secularism completely contradictsreligious ideology. Attitudes, conductand decisions stem from ideologies.
That is why, with all our appreciationfor the Palestinian Liberation Organiza-tion and what it can develop intoand
without belittling its role in the Arab-Israeli conictwe are unable to ex-change the present or future IslamicPalestine with the secular idea. The Is-lamic nature of Palestine is part of our
religion, and whoever takes his religionlightly is a loser.
The day the Palestinian LiberationOrganization adopts Islam as its way oflife we will become its soldiers and fuelfor its re that will burn the enemies.
We should not forget to remindevery Moslem that when the Jews con-quered the Holy City in 1967, they stoodon the threshold of the Aqsa Mosque

and proclaimed that Mohammed is dead,and his descendants are all women.
EDITORS NOTE: The above is totallyuntrue. Instead, Israel invited the Muslims back,giving them control over the Temple Mount.
The Islamic Resistance Movement(Hamas) considers itself to be the spear-head of the circle of struggle with worldZionism and a step on the road. The
Movement adds its efforts to theefforts of all those who are active in thePalestinian arena. Arab and Islamic Peo-ples should augment by further steps ontheir part. Islamic groupings all over the
Arab world should also do the same, sinceall of these are the best equipped for thefuture role in the ght with the warmon-gering Jews.
Why did Hamas win the elections?As much as we might want to whitewashit and put the best possible face on theresults of the Palestinian elections, wemight as well face the truth. The people
who voted Hamas into ofce knew exact-ly what they were voting for. They havelived with the followers of Hamas on adaily basis since 1987. The Palestinian ter-ritories are the birthplace of Hamas.
Some have tried to say that peopledidnt really vote for Hamasthat they
were really voting against the corruptionof the Palestinian Authority. While thecorruption of Fatah undoubtedly playeda role in the elections, we still cannot denythat a majority of the Palestinians votedfor a militant movement whose singulargoal is the destruction of the state of Is-rael. They voted in favor of terrorist at-tacks and suicide bombings. They had to
know that Hamas favored suicide bomb-ers because it never failed to publicly takecredit when an attack was successfullycarried out. (See page 16)
Present situationApparently, Hamas was as surprised as ev-eryone else when it realized it had won 74seats out of 132 in the Palestinian Parlia-ment. Knowing that it had no experiencein government, Hamas asked Mahmoud
Abbas and his Fatah party to enter intoa national unity government. So far, theoffer has been declined by Abbas.
Even though Hamas now controls theParliament, Mahmoud Abbas presiden-tial term runs for three more years. Ab-bas considered resigning in light of hispartys overwhelming defeat. However,the United States has asked him to remainas president, hoping to salvage somethingfrom the political tsunami. It appears that
Abbas has decided to continue in thepresidency for now. It should be notedthat Hamas does have the power to im-peach him, if they so desired. This beingtrue, Abbas will either play ball with theHamas majority or else.
Abbas has reminded Hamas that, as alegitimate succeeding government, it isobligated to honor agreements signed by
the PLO. Hamas says that it will not rec-ognize Israels right to exist because thatdecision was a mistake.
The UN Security Council has said thatthe new government must renounce vio-lence, recognize Israels right to exist andhonor agreements signed by the PLOsuch as the Roadmap for Peace.
Where will the Hamas victory lead?We may not know the exact path thatfuture events in Israel will take. We dontknow whether Hamas will be in powerfrom now on, or whether the interna-tional community will cut off nancialassistance to the Palestinians, leading tothe collapse of the Hamas government.
There are many other possible scenariosthat may or may not play out. However,
we do know from scripture that ve spe-cic things will happen in Israel betweennow and the Second Coming:
The Hamas has
carried out 53 suicide
attacks,killing
289 Israelis and
injuring 1,649 since
September of 2000.
The record of these
attacks is listed on

1}Great tribulation in JudeaIn Matthew 24:15-21, Jesus prophesiedthat the West Bank (Judea) will becomea place of slaughter three and one-halfyears before the Battle of Armageddon,and that Jews living there will have to runfor their lives.
The West Bank area is the next areascheduled for handover to the Palestin-
ians. Israel is building the security wallright now that will separate Judea from Is-rael proper. All three candidates for primeminister of Israel are in favor of the se-curity fence. The only reason for buildingthe fence is to withdraw to the west of thebarrier, providing security for the peoplein Israel, while leaving Jews in Judea vul-nerable to the terrible time of tribulationthat Jesus foretold.
2}Sharing of the Temple Mount
Revelation 11:1-2 describes a Jewish tem-ple on the Temple Mount three and one-half years before Armageddon. The areaon which the temple sits is described asbeing under Jewish control, but the outercourt of the temple is under Gentile con-trol. This obviously describes a sharing ofthe Temple Mount very much like Presi-dent Bill Clinton proposed at the CampDavid negotiations in 2000.
3}Temple Mount underinternational supervisionPauls prophecy in 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4describes the Antichrist sitting in the tem-ple of God claiming to be God, or claim-ing sovereign authority over the TempleMount. When proposing the sharing ofthe Temple Mount, world leaders haveagreed that the arrangement will have to
be supervised by the international com-munity. Since the Antichrist will be theleader of the international community, itis only natural that he will lay claim to be-ing the ultimate authority there.
4}A Jewish temple onthe Temple MountBoth Revelation 11:1-2 and 2 Thessalo-nians 2:4 refer to a temple standing on the
Temple Mount three and one-half yearsbefore Armageddon. It is interesting to
note that, in June of 2005, the recently re-born Sanhedrin in Israel announced plansto begin building the Jewish temple.
5}World communitywill invade Israel.The Prophet Zechariah prophesied thatGod would gather all nations against
Jerusalem to battle. (Zechariah 14:2)This speaks of the Battle of Armaged-
don when Jesus will return to the earth,defeating the armies of the world com-munity and establishing his promised1,000-year reign of peace.
Israel faces elections on March 28th.Would the nation be better off with Ben-jamin Netanyahu, Ehud Olmert or Amir
Peretz as prime minister? Will the Pales-tinian courtship with Hamas be short-lived? Perhaps Hamas will change its radi-cal beliefs, becoming a legitimate peacepartner with Israel? Will Iranian PresidentMahmoud Ahmadinejad acquire nuclear
weapons and use them against Israel? Orwill the War on Terror spread to Iran, ulti-mately escalating into World War III?
The answer? There is no answerex-cept one. The entire Middle East situ-ation will continue to deteriorate untilthe worlds nations gather to solve it at
Armageddon. When it appears that Is-rael will be crushed beneath the iron heelof the Antichrist and his world govern-ment, salvation will come from the east-ern skies. Jesus Christ will touch downon the Mount of Olives and Israel willnally say, Blessed is He that cometh inthe name of the Lord! Jesus Christ is theonly answer.

The translation of Revelation 6:8 in the KingJames Version reads:And I looked, andbehold a pale horse.The Greek word that
was translatedpaleis chloros. StrongsExhaustive Concordance gives the definition of
chloros asgreen or pale.The word chlorosis the root word for chlorophyll, the pigment
in plants that make them green. Knowingthis, we have to ask if the passage shouldntreally have been translatedBehold a green
horse.The New Revised Standard Versionof the Bible actually renders the passage:I
looked and there was a pale green horse.

The rideron the blackhorse in
Revelation 6:5had a pair of
balances in hishand. Balances
are a symbol oftrade and commerce. What
international spirit in the
world embodies the messageof commerce? Capitalism, ofcourse! The worlds capitalist
nations enjoy higher standardsof living than the other nations
of the world.This is reinforced in the next
portion of this prophecy: And Iheard a voice in the midst of the four
beasts say, A measure of wheat for apenny, and three measures of barley
for a penny (Revelation 6:6). One ofthe things heard daily in the news of
capitalist countries is, Dow Jones Indus-trialsup 3 cents; AT&T down a penny;Xerox is steady. This passage is a pro-

There is an international spirit in the earth today known as thered power. Nations who embrace communism (or socialism) areknown as red nations. Red China, Red Russia, and Red Romania arejust a few examples.
Revelation 6:4 states that Power was given to him that satthereon to take peace from the earth. Everywhere communismhas raised its ugly head, revolution and war has broken out. Korea,Berlin, the Congo, Cuba, Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Nicaragua arejust a few of the many examples.
The prophecy says that those controlled by this red spirit would
kill one another. It has been estimated that 80 million Chinese havebeen killed in political purges since the communists took over Chinain 1948. Twenty million were killed in political purges in Russia by
Josef Stalin. Everywhere communist revolution has gone, there hasbeen bloodshed and death.
Finally, in the same verse, therewas given to the rider of thisred horse a great sword. Whatg r ea t e r military might exists
in the world today thanthe combined power
of Russia and China? Isthere a nation that would like
to go to war against these twogiants? The red spirit, whichtakes peace from the earth,
is communism.

phetic stock market report! Obviously, thestock markets are at the center of capitalisteconomies.
Finally, in the same passage, the Biblesays ... and see thou hurt not the oil andthe wine. One of the quickest ways fora man to lose ofce in the political worldof capitalism is for the economy of thatnation to suffer under his administration.One of the major issues of any politicalcampaign in the free-world countries is
that of the economy. Bill Clintons sloganduring the 1992 U.S. presidential cam-paign was, Its the economy, stupid.
The December 9, 1966 issue of Timemagazine, page 34, reported that a newcoalition government had recently beenformed in Germany between the Social-ist Party and the Christian DemocraticParty. In describing the union, Time said,... a grand coalition of the two majorpartiesthe Christian Democrats andthe Social Democrats, that have bitterlyfought each other for years...[has been
made]. A union of black and red, it was amarriage of conveniencebut a stunningmatch nonetheless.
In political and news circles socialism isreferred to as the red power. Likewise,democracy is referred to as the blackpower. God knew that this would betrue; so He let the red horse symbolizecommunism and the black horse symbol-ize capitalism.
The black horse is the spirit of capital-ism foreseen by God 2,000 years ago!
In political science book Communism,Democracy and Catholic Power, PaulBlanshard contends that almost everyconict between nations in modern histo-ry has been produced by conicts gener-ated among three forcesCommunism,Capitalism, and Catholicism.
Catholicism perfectly ts the descrip-tion of the white horse rider of Revela-tion 6:2. It is Roman Catholic custom thatthe pope dresses in white. His helicopteris white; his jet airplane is white; and his
pope-mobile is white. If he had a horse, Iwonder what color it would be?White is used as a symbol of peace. The
predominant message of Roman Catholi-cism is the message of peace. The Vaticanhas become a diplomatic peace center forthe world. When peace is being negotiatedbetween rulers of our world, the pope andother high ofcials of the Roman CatholicChurch are often consulted. Newspapers,magazines, books, television and radio ap-plaud his efforts towards peace. Pope Paul
VI was the worlds rst religious leader to
speak before the United Nations GeneralAssembly. His message was, Lay downyour arms. War no more. Never again!
A crown was given to the one sitting onthe white horse. History teaches that thepope originally had no crown, but todaythe popes crown is a tiara consisting ofthree crowns.
Revelation 6:2 states that the rider ofthe white horse went forth conqueringand to conquer. Although Catholicismat present has no standing army, it is cer-tainly a conquering power. When the ma-jority of the people of a nation becomes
Catholic, that nation is referred to as aCatholic nation. One of the Vaticansmajor goals is to conquer America. This isthe spirit of the white horse! Conqueringand to conquer is the spirit of the RomanCatholic Church.
Could the green horse be a propheticsymbol of Islam?
Islam certainly ts into the patternof the previous three world movementssymbolized by Catholicism, Communism
and Capitalism. These are all powerfulinternational movements that affect thecourse of the nations that embrace them,and they each have symbolic colors thatmatch one of the four horses of theapocalypse.
In his book, Militant Islam ReachesAmerica, Daniel Pipes describes the riseof Islam in a very interesting way: Thecollapse of the Soviet Union in 1991prompted loose talk about Islam replac-ing Marxism-Leninism as the Westsnecessary enemy. In symbolic terms, it
was said that green (Islams color) hadreplaced red (communisms color) in theWests rogues gallery.
Lets look at the entire prophecy aboutthe pale green horse: And I looked, andbehold a pale (green) horse: and his namethat sat on him was Death, and Hell fol-lowed with him. And power was given untothem over the fourth part of the earth, tokill with sword, and with hunger, and withdeath, and with the beasts of the earth.
Since the color of the horse can legiti-mately be translated as green, and since
the ofcial color of Islam is green, thataspect of the prophecy certainly ts.The rider of the green horse was Death.
Islam has become synonymous with thedreaded suicide bomber. Almost daily weare receiving reports of deadly suicide at-tacks in Israel, Iraq, Spain, or London.
The prophecy says that hell followed therider of Death. Islam teaches their suicidebombers that paradise follows their act ofmartyrdom. But scripture teaches that allmurderers will have their part in the lakeof re (Revelation 21:8).
The spirit of the green horse is de-scribed as having power over the fourthpart of the earth. Estimates of follow-
ers of Islam by country based on U.S.State Department gures yield a total of1.48 billion (Wikipedia Encyclopedia).
This would be exactly one-fourth of theworlds population.
The death horse rider was to kill withthe sword, hunger, and death. Each ofthese forces thrives where Islam reigns. Is-lamic countries are known for the prolif-eration of violence, poverty and disease.
The prophecy of the green horse occursunder the 4th Seal. The 5th Seal that im-mediately follows (Revelation 6:9-11) isthe time of the great tribulation. The 6thSeal (Revelation 6:12-17) describes theSecond Coming of the Lord at the timeof the Battle of Armageddon.
It is clear from many events that weare very near the beginning of the greattribulation right now. If the 4th horse rideractually is the present resurgence of Islam,the timing is absolutely perfect.
In Zechariah 6, it states that the blackhorse went into the north country. Theprophecy is amazingly accurate sincecapitalist countries are located in thenorthern hemisphere.
The passage then says that the fourthhorse went into the south country. Thistoo is amazingly accurate since over 96.5%of the worlds Muslims live in Africa andsouthern Asia, and Islams capital, Mecca,is south of Israel.
The passage concerning the death ridersays that it will kill with the beasts ofthe earth. Exactly how killing with thebeasts of the earth would t under thereign of Islam is not exactly clear unlessit refers to the jungles of Africa where Is-lam is strong.
In the Zechariah 6 account of thefour horse prophecy, there are white,red and black horses exactly as in Revela-tion 6. However, the horses that pulled
the fourth chariot were not described asgreen. They were described as grizzledand bay, dappled, dappled gray or spotted(depending on the translation you use). Ifthis is the exact same prophecy as Revela-tion 6, and it certainly appears to be, thenthis discrepancy would cast doubt on thefourth horse representing Islam.
I have always taught that the pale horserepresents exactly what it saysdeath.Unless further light can be shed on thefourth horse of Zechariah 6, I have to be-lieve that is still the correct understanding.
However, we have to admit that manyaspects of the 4th Seal rider seem to referto Islam in a very interesting way.
