IS ISRAEL FLIRTING WITH ARMAGEDDON? The Middle East is a deadly witch's brew containing religious extremism, violence, unremitting hatred, intolerance, unmitigated resentment . . .
Millions of Muslims who follow the religion of Islam view the United States with contempt and hatred and would like nothing more than to bring about our utter destruction. The United States has few friends among the masses of Arabs. In fact, millions of Muslims would like to erase all "infidels" from the face of the earth. Osama bin Laden is preparing to do this very thing: On the Day of Armageddon ["the great and dreadful day of the Lord." Malachi 4:5] he will destroy more than six billion people, Muslims and "infidels" alike. I have received information from celestial sources stating that Osama bin Laden is the Antichrist, the Beast, and the False Prophet. However, this paper will deal only with the Day of Armageddon as described in the prophecies of John the Revelator and Isaiah the prophet.Said John the Revelator:
And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell.
And there was a great earthquake, such as was not [seen] since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake and so great;
Comment: We can surmise that John knew nothing about nuclear weapons. So he described the catastrophic event as a great earthquake.
And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.
And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great. [According to a footnote, the weight of a talent is between 60 and 100 pounds.]
And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
[Revelation 6:14] [Revelation 16:18-21]
There was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood. [Revelation 6:12]
A fourth part of the population of the earth will die by the sword, by hunger, by death, and with the beasts of the earth. [Revelation 6:8]
Said John at Revelation 9:18: A third of men will be killed by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone.
Comments: Perhaps this should be interpreted to mean that a fourth
and a third of mortals are doomed. [1/4 plus 1/3 equals 7/12.] If this is the case, then according to John's prophecies, about 60 percent, or almost four billion, of world population is consigned to
death. However, this estimate is far too low: On the Day of Armageddon, Osama will succeed in destroying more than six billion people.
According to Isaiah's prophesies:
The mountains will melt, the host of heaven shall be dissolved; the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll; the heavens shall vanish away like smoke.
Comments: The explosion(s) may be so powerful that some nearby planets will be disrupted in their orbit.
According to information in a footnote, the earth and the heavenly bodies may go into convulsions. Some planets may be transformed into a gaseous state.
And the streams thereof shall be turned into pitch, and the dust thereof into brimstone, and the land thereof shall become burning pitch. It shall not be quenched night nor day; the smoke thereof shall go up forever: from generation to generation it shall lie waste; none
shall pass through it for ever and ever [for an exceedingly long period into the future].
Behold the Lord maketh the earth empty and waste [over vast areas], and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof.
Comment: Is it possible that the North Pole and the South Pole will change places?]
The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled [over vast areas]; they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men are left.
The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly [violently split open?].
The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard.
Comments: What Isaiah means by the statement
The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved . . . I do not
know. It certainly sounds ominous. But based upon the prophesies we conclude that the force of the explosion(s) will end the world as we know it. The face of the earth will be changed forevermore. Huge portions of the earth, laid to utter waste by the explosion(s) and the earthquakes, will be uninhabitable for generations into the future.
The moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed; For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.
[Isaiah 13:10 ~ 24:1-23 ~ 34:1-17 ~ 51:6]
Comments: Law and order will vanish instantly in the worldwide chaos following in the wake of the conflagration. Many people will revert to a stage barely above the level of ferocious animals as they desperately seek to save themselves. Enraged savage-like men who were assured by their Christians leaders that the warnings were false alarms will turn on their leaders, subjecting numerous of them to a violent death. Large numbers of people may be eaten by starving animals.
John the Revelator speaks plainly of a great earthquake such as was not (seen) since men were upon the earth.
Comments: The continents rest on a cushiony sea of molten basalt--a mobile layer of molten lava held under high pressure. Earthquakes are caused by the sliding and shifting of the solid outer crust. The force of the explosion(s) may be so inconceivably powerful that the continents may actually separate at the fault lines that occur around the globe.
The land masses will move back and forth on the sea of molten basalt as they seek a new equilibrium, causing survivors to feel that the earth is reeling to and fro like a drunkard. The swaying back and forth of the seas and oceans, together with earthquakes on the ocean beds, will throw huge amounts of water upon the land. The gigantic walls of water, rushing inland at great speed, will destroy everything in their path.
If the land masses are forced apart because of the strength of the explosion(s), the molten lava and huge rocks, held under high pressure, will be free to shoot upward for hundreds or thousands of feet spewing death in all directions. It is conceivable that huge countries such as the United States, China, and Russia may break into several pieces.
Numerous volcanoes around the world may become instantly and violently active, sending death-dealing liquid fire and huge rocks high into the atmosphere. Viewed from a
point in space, the entire earth may resemble that eternal burning hell that Christians have been taught exists.
Said John: And every island fled away.
Comment: If this statement is interpreted literally, then islands such as Great Britain, Ireland, Japan, Indonesia, and countless other islands around the world will vanish beneath the water.
At Revelation 16:3,4 John wrote: And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea, and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea.
And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters and they became blood.
At Revelation 8:8,9 we read: And as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood; And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died.
Said Isaiah at 51:10: Art thou (the Lord) which hath dried the sea, the waters of the great deep; that hath made the depths of the sea a way for people to pass over?
Comments: It seems clear that huge quantities of water will vanish from the earth from both large and small bodies of water.
There are fault lines and volcanoes in the ocean beds. When the explosion(s) occurs, these fault lines and volcanoes may instantly spew fountains of molten fire in a quantity sufficient to turn the water the color of blood. The waters in some places may become so hot that large numbers of marine life are boiled alive.
Why would mountains melt? Perhaps mountain ranges may be pulverized by the explosions into infinitely small invisible particles and scattered by the winds.
Said John: The moon became as blood.
One possible explanation: the force and heat of the explosion(s) will transform the moon into a gaseous sphere. Will the moon then be a mini-sun until it cools at a future date? If so, how much heat will it provide for survivors? When tons of ash encircle the earth the moon cannot be seen by survivors.
The number of deaths to be visited upon an unsuspecting mankind is truly
mind-boggling: The world did not save six million Jews. There is not a ghost of a chance of saving more than six billion people from certain destruction. In brief, mankind is a sitting duck, waiting for the ax to fall. If Osama detonates multiple explosions, he will no doubt strike without warning in cities large and small.
I was informed by celestial sources that on the Day of Armageddon
all Mid East countries will vanish from the face of the earth. Their oil, if any remains, will be unavailable. Hundreds of millions of people around the world will be instantly incinerated as the force of the explosion(s) rips through the planet and heads into outer space.
As predicted by the prophesies, the rivers and lakes surrounding Jerusalem and even those farther away will vanish in the twinkling of an eye. The Mediterranean Sea will disappear in a flash.
There are numerous cities and towns in the United States that are built over or very close to fault lines. If the country separates at the fault lines, liquid fire and huge rocks spewing high into the atmosphere in all directions can easily cripple even a large city.
The effect upon agriculture will be horrendous. The sun will be obscured for a period of time causing a drop in worldwide temperature. The lack of sunshine, the drop in global temperature, the fallout from the explosion(s), and the earthquakes will render it impossible to plant and harvest food supplies over vast portions of the earth. Millions of people will perish from starvation, disease, pestilence, etc. Millions will
wish they had died in the holocaust. The living will truly envy the dead.
We do not know when the Day of Armageddon will occur, but we know it will not occur until every person on earth has been warned of the approaching global catastrophe. The time lag will permit world population to prepare for the impending disaster.
According to celestial sources, the DNA of every living creature or thing on the planet will be modified substantially. Will mankind experience a great leap forward in evolution?
