THE OKLAHOMA CITY BOMBING, MILITIAS, AND --



                             THE NEW WORLD ORDER IN BIBLE
PROPHECY!



What is the significance of the sudden growth of many thousands
of heavily armed militias in the United States, and the terror
bombing of a Federal building in Oklahoma City? What are the
four kingdoms of Daniel 7? What about the four chariots of
Zechariah 6? And the strange "Beast" of Revelation 13 and 17?
Where do all these fit into Bible prophecy for the "end times"?
Are these prophecies and events related to the New World Order
we hear about more and more? It's high time we took the blinders
off, roused ourselves from sleep, and opened our eyes and our
minds to a new look at these shocking events, and these amazing
pivotal prophecies of the Word of God!



                                                      William F.
Dankenbring



       We hear a lot about the "New World Order" these days.
Former president George Bush spoke of it often during his
presidency. President Bill Clinton seems to be doing everything
in his power to augment and usher in the "New World Order," by
pushing for the passage of the NAFTA trade agreement with Mexico
and Canada, and then for the WTO (World Trade Organization)
treaty which will effectively nullify much of American
sovereignty insofar as trade, business and international
commerce are concerned.



       In the wake of the Oklahoma City bombing tragedy, Clinton
is now hell-bent on strengthening the FBI in relation to what he
called "domestic terrorism," and in the same breath went on to
condemn right-wing "militias" which have sprouted up all around
the United States -- some estimated 86 separate militias with an
average of 4-5,000 members (some more than 20,000), totaling
roughly 3-4 million men (and women) under arms, to protect their
homes, and families, and local interests, from any and all
oppression, foreign or home-grown.



       It appears that President Clinton, not to mention his
predecessor, is minded to drag the United States people, kicking
and screaming, into the "New World Order," whether they like it
or not! The majority of Americans were negative to the NAFTA
agreement, and the WTO legislation, but Congress and the
Administration forced it through on a "quick track" despite
protests and opposition. Many Americans are fed up with the
legalization of abortion, the abuse and misuse of Federal
power-- such as the Randy Weaver incident in Idaho, where
federal agents assaulted his home in the wilderness under color
of authority, under trumped up charges, of which he was later
found innocent. During the Federal raid, Weaver's 14 year old
boy was shot in the back and killed, and his wife was shot by a
Federal agent (sniper) as she stood in front of the stove
holding their baby. The attorney for Weaver feels the Federal
agents responsible should be charged with murder -- but who is
going to bring charges?



      Two years ago to the very day of the Oklahoma bombing, in
which over 156 men and women, including 15 or more innocent
children and babies, were killed by an extremist right-wing
militant, the Federal government again abused its power in
assaulting a religious compound of the Branch Dividians in Waco,
Texas, despite the fact that they had lost the element of
surprise, and allegations of child abuse had been previously
investigated and thrown out, and allegations of illegal firearms
proved to be mere suspicions without any proof whatsoever. The
Branch Dividians had been legally purchasing firearms.
Nevertheless, the BATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and
Firearms), viciously attacked the compound as in a military
operation, and lost four agents in the initial attack. They came
on illegally, on the basis of a falsified "search warrant," and
did not even attempt to serve the warrant peaceably -- but like
gang-busters, proud and full of bravado, weapons drawn and
firing away, they met their nemesis in a fire-fight that
erupted, as the Branch Dividians defended themselves, their
little children, wives and families. Apparently, the man
primarily responsible for the Oklahoma City bombing was
distraught and enraged over the terrible abuse of power of the
Federal government at Waco, and so exacted his own brand of
revenge, and now refuses to talk to authorities, except to claim
that he is a "prisoner of war."



                                                     What Does
the Future Hold?



      What do these events presage for the future? I have
written in previous articles that very possibly we are going to
see "Civil War" in America and modern day "Israel," because of
the extremism and diverging interests of the American people,
and their government. Many Americans no longer feel represented
by the Federal government. They feel oppressed, abused,
overtaxed, and forced to go a way they do not want to go -- viz
a viz abortion, plunge in morals, growth in immorality, the
welfare system, reverse discrimination due to "affirmative
action" laws, etc. Many feel the United States has reached a
time similar to the years preceding the American Revolution, and
the Boston Tea Party, when American colonists rejected British
taxation without representation, and the overweening
authoritarianism of King George and his ministers of state. The
anger was fanned into flames and burned in the American
Revolution. Is America soon to face a Second Revolution -- with
various "patriotic" groups and militias fighting the regular
Federal government which insists on dragging the people -kicking
and screaming -- into the New World Order, and new international
Mega-State? The date of the Oklahoma City bombing was also the
anniversary of the "shot heard round the world" at Concord,
Massachusetts, which began the Revolutionary War.



      Although it is difficult to predict the future, even with
an understanding of Biblical prophecy, we can look at trends and
history, and try to formulate conclusions in line with Biblical
prophecy. First of all, we know that God judges those nations
which rebel against Him and reject His covenant (Lev. 26; Deut.
28). The United States Constitution was largely based on the
laws of God -- the Torah -- but now governmental decrees and
judicial decisions are virtually doing away with increasing
portions of the original Constitution through
"re-interpretation." The Constitution nowhere permits abortion,
but socio-engineering New Worlders and their surrogates have
legalized "abortion on demand." The Constitution nowhere
legalized sodomy and "gay rights," but modern social-engineers
have caved in to the "gay lobby" and now "sexual orientation" is
considered nothing more than a '"choice" -- not a matter of
wickedness versus righteousness.



       Economically, the United States is some $17 trillion in
debt, and in recent weeks the Federal government has let the
dollar plummet in value. Critics charge that President Clinton
is changing the U.S. dollar into the American "peso," by his
actions, the bail-out of the Mexican quagmire economy, and by
failing to support the dollar in international exchange. A few
years ago a group of American economic leaders researched the
path the U.S. was and is following, and predicted "Bankruptcy"
by the year 1995 -- this very year! The year is far from over
yet -- and it could still happen. But whether the economic
"Armageddon" occurs this year, or next, or the year after, the
fact remains that the American economy is in dire straits -- and
there is a lot of pessimism about the future.



       Although the stock market is currently "higher than a
kite," soaring over 4,000, many feel that this is merely the
last run-up before the balloon is pricked and the bubble bursts,
sending the economy into a crater of gargantuan proportions.
Already this year and last, the bond market has cratered, losing
over $1 trillion dollars, a crash equal to the stock market
collapse in October 1987, eight years ago! Says one economic
analyst:



"But while I knew the dollar would fall, I have been shocked by
the total inaction of the U.S. government. In fact, the Clinton
administration spent ten times more to support the Mexico peso
than they did to support our own U.S. dollar!



"This is criminal negligence. It has driven the dollar even
lower than the sorry U.S. fundamentals would have dropped it.



"The dollar is now in a death plunge with the ground. It is an
enormous crisis for the U.S. economy and for you" (The Wall
Street Underground, vol. 2, no. 1).



       What many fear is that if the economy crashes, and riots
break out in the streets, or the Federal government declares
virtual "war" on the militias in many states, that our nation
could suffer the ravages of self-destruction -- internal
internecine warfare--  such as the bloody "Civil War" of 130
years ago, the most bloody war in American history, where
Americans fought Americans, brother against brother, leading to
the greatest bloodbath in North American history. Could it
happen again? Could economic and social upheavals lead to the
imposition of "martial law" and bring about an American "police
state," with FBI, BATF, and other police agencies taking the
place of the Nazi storm troopers, SS, and "brown shirts"
(legalized "thugs" who helped solidify Hitler's rise to power by
beating up on "dissidents," Jews, Communists, and all who were
accused of disloyalty!)?



                                            Coming -- a World
Super Mega-State



       Exactly how it is going to happen, we don't know, but we
do know that in the days ahead of us the world is going to be
brought for a time into one huge mega-state world empire, which
the Bible calls "Babylon the Great" (Rev. 17-18). It will be a
great commercial-based trading empire (Rev. 18). It will also be
a world military juggernaut (Rev. 13:1-5). People will exclaim,
"Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?" (Rev.
13:4).



       But what "beast" is this? It is described as having
"seven heads and ten horns" (v. 1), "and on his horns ten
crowns, and on his heads a blasphemous name" (same verse). It is
a "composite creature." It has the body of a leopard, the feet
or claws of a bear, the mouth of a lion -- and serves the
"dragon," that is, the devil himself, Satan (Rev. 12:9 compared
to Rev. 13:2). This world empire is prophesied to continue for
42 months, or 3 and 1/2 years (Rev. 13:5). Its leadership will
blaspheme the name of God, institute a paganized one world
religion embracing all religions on earth except the true
religion of Almighty God, and will "make war with the saints"
and will "overcome them" (v.7). It will rule for a time over
"every tribe, tongue, and nation" (same verse).



      What is this great "beast"? In Revelation 17, we read,
"The beast that you saw was, and is not, and will ascend out of
the bottomless pit and go to perdition. And those who dwell on
the earth will marvel" (v.8). This beast will be ridden by a
"woman" -- a great apostate false church or religious combine
(picturing the reunification of Protestants, Catholics, and
other religions under the Pope at Rome -- see Rev. 17:1-7). This
final world empire will be composed of "seven heads." John
explains, "Here is the mind which has wisdom: The seven heads
are seven mountains [nations] on which the woman sits. . . The
beast that was, and is not, is himself also the eighth, and is
of the seven, and is going to perdition. The ten horns which you
saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they
receive authority for ONE HOUR as kings with the beast. These
are of one mind, and they will give their power and authority to
the beast. These will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will
overcome them, for He is Lord of lords and King of kings" (Rev.
17:9-14).



      These seven "mountains" then are seven nations that the
woman -- the world' s false religious system of paganized
idolatry -- sits upon. That is, she is the religion of the
seven-- the religious system that stems from ancient Babylon.
These seven may be understood both in a historical sense, and an
end-time contemporary sense. Historically, there were SEVEN
KINGDOMS that ruled the world after the Flood. They were: 1)
Nimrod's Babylon (Gen. 10:8-12), 2) Egypt in the days of Joseph
till the Exodus -- the "Middle Kingdom"; 3) the Assyrian Empire,
which took the northern kingdom of Israel captive in 718-721
B.C.); 4) the Babylonian Empire, which took Judah captive in
604, 597, and 586 B.C.); 5) the Medo-Persian Empire 539-334
B.C.); 6) the Greco-Madeconian Empire (334-31 B.C.); and 7) the
Roman Empire (31 B.C. to 476 A.D.). The "eighth" head is of the
"seven." It is the head which is yet to arise, as the final "New
World Order." But it is really nothing new at all. Hitler called
his "Third Reich" also "The New World Order." It will be
patterned after the former seven heads, particularly the "Roman
Empire." It will be worldwide in scope, with its head centered
no doubt in Europe. It is called prophetically, the "King of the
north" in the prophecies of Daniel referring to the end time
(see Dan. 11:31-45).



      In a final end-time contemporaneous sense, these seven
heads or mountains (nations) could very well refer to the
permanent members of the Security Council of the United
Nations-- currently five in number -- United States, Britain,
France, Russia, and China. However, Japan and Germany are
campaigning and lobbying very hard to be added to the Security
Council. If and when they succeed, the United Nation's Security
Council will number SEVEN HEADS !



      Who are the "ten horns"? These will be ten nations with
military resources which will be used as the military arm of the
Beast. These could well be the nations of NATO, or a final
version of NATO, the strongest military alliance in the world at
this time. A "horn" represents military power -- horns "push"
and "gore" other nations, or beasts. This beast, having ten
horns, has supreme military power in the world. This beast must
therefore include the armed forces and nuclear weapons of the
United States -- as well as Britain and France!



      For a time, even Russia apparently will be a part of this
end-time "union," or world "system," before breaking away and
later attacking the system for the wrongs done to her by the
system, together with the millions of Asia (Rev. 9:13-18,
especially verses 15-16). Notice! Russia and her allies will
eventually attack the "Beast" with a 200,000,000 man army, and
one third of mankind will die in the ensuing "Gotterdamerung,"
or "battle of the twilight of the gods." That means some two
billion human beings will die in the pitched battles around the
world between the opposing forces (compare also Dan. 11:44).



       But we are getting ahead of the story. What major world
powers will comprise this end-time "Beast" or "New World Order"
Kingdom?



                                                     The Four
Beasts of Daniel



       The prophet Daniel had a strange vision. He said, "I saw
in my vision by night, and behold, the FOUR WINDS of heaven were
stirring up the Great Sea. And four great beasts came up from
the sea, each different from the other. The first was like a
LION, and had EAGLE'S WINGS. I watched till its wings [air
power] were plucked off; and it was lifted up from the earth and
made to stand on two feet like a man, and a man's heart was
given to it. And suddenly another beast, a second, like a BEAR.
It was raised up on one side, and had three ribs in its mouth
between its teeth. And they said, 'Arise, devour much flesh! '



       "After this I looked, and there was another, like a
LEOPARD, which had on its back four wings of a bird. The beast
also had four heads, and dominion was given to it. After this I
saw in the night visions, and behold, a FOURTH BEAST, dreadful
and terrible, exceedingly strong. It had huge iron teeth; it was
devouring, breaking in pieces, and trampling the RESIDUE
[mankind] with its feet. It was different from all the beasts
that were before it, and it had ten horns. I was considering the
horns, and there was another horn, a little one, coming up among
them, before whom three of the first horns were plucked out by
the roots. And there, in this horn, were eyes like the eyes of a
man, and a mouth speaking pompous words" (Dan. 7:1-8).



       Notice! These four "beasts" are connected with the FOUR
WINDS of heaven (v.2). These are END-TIME KINGDOMS! You probably
have read that these were the Babylonian, Persian, Grecian, and
Roman Empires. Not true! Notice again! In verses 9-10 Daniel
describes God's Throne of judgment, in the last days. In verse 1
1, we read: "I watched then because of the sound of the pompous
words which the horn was speaking [the end-time Antichrist was
right then mouthing off!]; I watched till the BEAST [the fourth
beast of Daniel 7] was SLAIN, and its body destroyed and given
to the burning flame." Compare this with Rev. 19:19-20: "And I
saw the BEAST, the kings of the earth, and their armies,
gathered together to make WAR against Him who sat on the horse
[Christ the Messiah] and against His army. Then the BEAST was
captured, and with him the false prophet [a charismatic end-time
religious world leader] . . . These two were cast alive into the
LAKE OF FIRE burning with brimstone."



       Daniel is describing this same event! Then Daniel goes
on: "As for the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion
taken away, yet their lives were prolonged for a season and a
time" (Dan. 7:: 12). The "rest of the beasts" described here
refers to the one like a lion, a bear, and a leopard -- the
other three beasts described in this chapter! Since they are
still in existence, even after the fourth beast is slain, this
PROVES beyond question that these four beasts of Daniel 7 all
co-exist DURING THE END TIME! They were not the ancient
successive world ruling kingdoms of Babylon, Persia, Greece and
Rome! They are four kingdoms in the earth today, each one
connected with one of the four winds of heaven.



       Who are they?



                                                  Zechariah's
Four Chariots



      To further explain this end-time prophecy, turn to
Zechariah chapter 6. In the New King James Version we read:
"Then I turned and raised my eyes and looked, and behold, FOUR
CHARIOTS [like the four beasts] were coming from between two
mountains, and the mountains were mountains of bronze. With the
first chariot were RED HORSES, with the second chariot BLACK
HORSES, with the third chariot WHITE HORSES, and with the fourth
chariot DAPPLED HORSES -- strong steeds. Then I answered and
said to the angel who talked with me, 'What are these, my lord?'
And the angel answered and said to me, 'These are four spirits
of heaven, who go out from their station before the Lord of all
the earth. The one with the BLACK horses is going to the NORTH
country [the "king of the north"!], the white are going after
them, and the dappled are going toward the south country.' Then
the strong steeds went out, eager to go, that they might walk to
and fro throughout the earth. And He said, 'Go, walk to and fro
throughout the earth.' So they walked to and fro throughout the
earth. And He called to me, and spoke to me, saying, 'See, those
who go toward the north country have given rest to My Spirit in
the north country"' (Zech. 6:1-8).



      Does this strange prophecy connect with the four beasts of
Daniel 7? Notice, they are also connected with "four spirits" or
four "winds" of heaven (v.5). Let's read this passage in the
Jewish Tanakh:



"The horses of the first chariot were bay [red], the horses of
the second chariot were black; the horses of the third chariot
were white, and the horses of the four chariot were
spotteddappled."



      The angel told Zechariah,



"Those are the FOUR WINDS OF HEAVEN coming out after presenting
themselves to the Lord of all the earth. The one with the BLACK
horses is going out to the region of the NORTH; the white ones
have gone out to what is to the WEST of them; the spotted ones
have gone out to the region of the SOUTH; and the dappled ones
have gone out ...."



       Why does the Tanakh say the white horses went out to the
"WEST"? The King James says only that they went out after the
black horses, which went to the north. The marginal reading in
the Tanakh says, "Cf. 'ahor, 'west,' Isa. 9:11. Emendation
yields 'the region of the west."' The Companion Bible, also, in
a marginal comment on verse 6, concerning the white horses going
'after them," says, "after them: or, to the west of them" (p.
1986).



       Concerning the phrase, "the dappled ones have gone out
....", the Tanakh has a footnote, here, which reads, "Emendation
yields 'the bay ones will go out to the REGION OF THE EAST."
Thus these four chariots and horses are connected with the four
regions of the earth -- north, west, south and east!



       In expounding this passage, the Jamieson, Fausset and
Brown Critical, Experimental Commentary says: "6. The black
horses which are therein go forth into the north
countryBabylon.... 'The black horses' go to Babylon, primarily
to represent the awful desolation with which Darius [a type of
Christ] visited it in the fifth year of his reign"' (p.677). The
black horses, and north country, then, are connected with the
"north wind" -- or Babylon! Today, that kingdom is centered in
Europe!



       The commentary continues, "and the grisled go forth
toward the south -- i.e., TO EGYPT, the other great foe of God's
people." Certainly, the land of the "south" means south of
Palestine, or Judea, and would include Africa, led primarily by
Egypt!



       What about the "red" horses, then, which went to the
EAST, according to the Tanakh? In the eastern hemisphere lies
the kingdoms of RUSSIA and CHINA -- the preponderance of the
continent of ASIA! The color of "red" reminds us unequivocally
of Russia, the "Reds," "red flag" of Communism, the "Red Square"
in Moscow, the red star on Soviet military equipment, the red
hammer and sickle of the Russian flag. Red is connected with
Russia. Thus the red horses and chariot are connected with
Russia and China -- the "Communist" nations !



       Russia is also connected with the "bear" sign -- the
"Russian Bear," is a common term used to refer to the Russian
military forces. This red horse then represents the same world
power as the bear of Daniel 7.



       The black horse identifies with Babylon-Europe and
Assyria-Germany. Germany is the land of the Iron chancellor
Bismark, the iron cross, the black cross, the Nazi symbolism,
the black uniforms of the Nazi storm troopers and the Waffen
S.S. and Gestapo -- the color of Germany and Babylon is "black."



       The "spotted" or "dappled" horses are connected with the
"king of the south" -- Egypt and her allies. This corresponds
with the 'spotted" leopard beast of Daniel 7 -- the beast of the
southern kingdom, Africa! This kingdom figures prominently in
the last days as attacking the "king of the north." We read, "At
the TIME OF THE END the king of the South shall ATTACK him; and
the king of the North shall come against him like a whirlwind,
with chariots, horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter
the countries, overwhelm them, and pass through. . . He shall
stretch out his hand against the countries, and the land of
Egypt shall not escape" (Dan. 11:40-42).



       What, then, about the white horses that went westward?
What kingdom do they represent? Since we have identified the
kingdoms of the north, south, and east, what is the kingdom of
the west? Obviously, the white horses that went west are
connected with the great world kingdom that lies in the western
hemisphere! Since the red horses are Russia and China, the bear
of Daniel 7; the grisled horses represent Egypt and the Arabs,
the leopard of Daniel 7; and the black horses are
Assyria-Babylon (modern Europe), representing the nondescript
terrible beast of Daniel 7; then the white horses must represent
the remaining western kingdom of Daniel 7 -- the "lion" like
kingdom with eagle's wings.



       What great nation or group of nations in the WEST are
"lion" hearted, and have "eagle's wings"? This can be none other
than the United States of America and Britain and the
Anglo-Saxon nations -- the English speaking nations which
dominate the Western hemisphere and Western Europe! There are
over 3,000,000 Jews in America, and God compares "Judah" to "a
lion's whelp" who "lies down as a lion, and as a lion, who shall
rouse him?" (Gen. 49:9). Of Joseph, Jacob prophesied, "The
archers have bitterly grieved him, shot at him and hated him.
But his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were
made strong by the hands of the Mighty God of Jacob (from there
is the Shepherd, the Stone of Israel)" (Gen. 49:23-24). The two
sons of Joseph, Ephraim and Manasseh, were to inherit the
"birthright promises" of vast lands and natural resources in the
earth (Gen. 48:12-20; 49:25-26). Balaam prophesied of Israel,
which includes the dominant sons of Joseph, "They shall devour
enemy nations, crush their bones, and smash their arrows. They
crouch, they lie down like a lion. Like the king of beasts, who
dare rouse them?" (Num. 24:8-9).



      The United States has been like a strong "lion" during the
20th century. It has the world's most powerful air
forcesymbolized by "eagle's wings." It was the difference in
victory in World War I, World War II, led the western coalition
against Iraq in the Gulf War, stopped the advance of Communism
in Korea, and fought for years in Vietnam, finally pulling out
in 1975, after more than ten years of bitter conflict. No nation
has been more lion-like, both in prestige, and power, in the
twentieth century than the United States. Although it is a mixed
population, with many Gentiles living within its borders, it is
the end-time tribe of Joseph -- the tribe of Ephraim -- and
Britain is primarily the descendants of Manasseh, Joseph's older
son. The two sons together have dominated the earth for the past
two centuries -- Britain in the 19th century, and America in the
20th century.



      This chariot of white horses -- this first kingdom of
Daniel 7 -- represents the Anglo-Saxon nations of America and
Britain and their fellows. The color "white," itself, symbolizes
righteousness (Rev. 19:8), and many of the wars our people have
been engaged in have been "righteous wars" in the defense of
freedom, liberty, and democracy. But our righteousness,
unfortunately, has become as filthy rags in God's sight (Isa.
1:2-10; Isa. 64:6). God has now removed His protection from us,
because we have forsaken Him and transgressed His immutable laws
(see Leviticus 26 and Deut. 28).



      God's judgments are coming upon us! God thunders, "And
end! the end has come upon the four corners of the land. Now the
end has come upon you, and I will send My anger against you; I
will JUDGE you according to your ways, and I will repay you for
all your abominations. My eye will not spare you, nor will I
have pity; but I will repay your ways, and your abominations
will be in your midst; then you shall know that I am the LORD!"
(Ezek. 7:2-4).



                                                    Downfall of
the Mighty



      The Scriptures are filled with warnings to Israel to
repent and turn to God, before it is too late. The prophecies of
Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel all warn us to repent, and get
right with God, or we will self-destruct, and be invaded, and
taken captive by foreigners. How does this tie in with the New
World Order?



      Many have imagined that a massive nuclear strike from
Europe will see the demise of the United States. Herbert
Armstrong predicted this for forty years, but it never happened.
Since his death, Garner Ted Armstrong, Roderick Meredith, and
Gerald Flurry, all are still predicting the same thing -- a
union of ten nations in Europe, which will launch a secret
attack and annihilate America and Britain!



      But does this make real sense? The end-time Beast is
described as a world-wide governing kingdom -- not just
"Europe." Europe does not have a military by itself anywhere
nearly strong enough to do the job -- nor does it have near the
nuclear capacity the United States has. Russia does -- but these
"prophets" do not look at Russia as launching such an attack,
but Europe!



      It seems to me such a theory is utter nonsense. Besides,
if hundreds or thousands of nuclear bombs rained down on the
United States, the whole country would be ruined by radioactive
poisoning and radiation for 24,000 years or longer. The
Chernobyl disaster in Russia has rendered thousands of acres,
hundreds of square miles, of Russia uninhabitable. Think what
devastation hundreds or thousands of nuclear bombs would do if
they struck America? The whole North American continent could
not be lived in for multiple thousands of years. Thus it would
remain a desolation all during the Millennium of Christ! Does
that make any sense? Of course not!



       Rather, as Abraham Lincoln once said, the only way for
the United States to be conquered, is for it to be conquered
from within. We can be taken over by a totalitarian,
police-state type of Gentile government from within our own
borders if we are not vigilant and alert and on guard! And let's
face it -- our people have been sound asleep, blissfully unaware
of their peril, trusting their government to take care of them,
enjoying the "good life," and stubbornly turning their back on
the moral and spiritual laws of heaven.



       Jeremiah writes, "The Lord was like an enemy, He has
swallowed up Israel. He has swallowed up all her palaces; He has
destroyed her strongholds. . . In His burning indignation He has
spurned the king and the priest. The Lord has spurned His altar,
He has abandoned His sanctuary; He has given up the walls of her
palaces into the hand of the ENEMY" (Lam. 2:5-7).



       How will God do this? He will give us over to our
enemies. But judging from the evidence, many of our enemies are
our own rulers and leaders -- those who will sell, carry or cart
us off into economic and physical slavery! Our nations are now
tied in to the New World Order, and its rules and regulationsand
this will turn into dire slavery, as we are forced to compete
with workers earning $1-4 a day in manufacturing and selling
products around the world. When America's economy plummets into
the gutter, foreigners will pick up the pieces, as "debt" owed
to them. They and their allies in the American government, will
use America's military power for their own diabolical purposes,
to further implement the New World Order. Many Americans will be
captives within their own land, with many others carted off to
Germany and Egypt to work for foreigners (Isa. 27:13).



       When God's judgments come upon our fair lands, one third
will die of pestilence -- disease epidemics and famine (Ezek.
5:12). After this weakens our nations to the point of extreme
distress and weakness, enemies -- whether domestic forces or
foreign military, in the service of the New World Order -- will
destroy another third of the population who will not submit to
volunteer slavery (same verse). The remaining third will be
enslaved, shackle, and serve as labor for the forces of the New
World Order.



       Before the final battles are fought, and the final
treason is committed, there may well be a number of nuclear
weapons exploded here and there as "object lessons" which will
kill millions (perhaps New York City, Washington, D.C., Chicago,
or wherever the "enemy" determines, in order to minimize any
resistance. However, it is very possible the United States could
fall, and succumb to the New World Order, voluntarily, betrayed
by its leaders who may have positions of high responsibility in
the "New Order."



       Ezekiel describes it this way: "They have blown the
trumpet and made everyone ready, but no one goes to battle; for
My wrath is on all their multitude. The sword is outside, and
the pestilence and famine within. Whoever is in the field will
die by the sword; and whoever is in the city, famine and
pestilence will devour him. Those who SURVIVE will escape and be
on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them
mourning, each for his iniquity. Every hand will be feeble, and
every knee will be as weak as water. They will be girded with
sackcloth; horror will cover them; shame will be on every face,
baldness on all their heads. They will throw their silver into
the streets, and their gold will be like refuse; their silver
and their gold will not be able to deliver them in the day of
the WRATH of the LORD; they will not satisfy their souls, nor
fill their stomachs, because it became their stumbling block of
iniquity" (Ezek. 7:14-19).



       God says the process is occurring right under our
noses-we are stealthily, surreptitiously, being taken over and
enslaved. The loss of our freedoms and liberties is gradual -one
at a time, so we don't notice it. Freedom of assembly has been
curtailed, freedom from unreasonable search and seizure have
been emasculated in the new anti-drug laws, freedom of speech is
in great danger since the bombing of the Federal building in
Oklahoma City, freedom of religion will no doubt be the last
freedom to "go."



    By then it will be too late -- if it isn't already.



                                              "Aliens have
devoured his strength"



      The prophet Hosea warns, "Ephraim has mixed himself among
the peoples; Ephraim is a cake unturned [half-baked, cooked on
one side and not on the other]. ALIENS HAVE DEVOURED HIS
STRENGTH, but he does not know it. Yes, gray hairs are here and
there on him, yet he does not know it" (Hos. 7:8-9).



      Gradually, Ephraim and modern Israel is being sucked into
the vortex of the Octopus of the New World Order. Before the
majority of the people wake up, it will be a "fait accompli."



      The people are duped by false religion. God says,
'"Because Ephraim has made many altars for sin, they have become
for him altars for sinning. I have written for him the great
things of My law, but they were considered a strange thing"
(Hosea 8:11-12).



      Because of our sins, and our blindness, we are almost
already completely taken over by the forces, overt and covert,
of the agents of the New World Order -- believe it or not! A
vast nuclear attack from Europe would be neither necessary nor
productive for the forces of the New World Order -- they have no
desire to contaminate the land with radioactive nuclear isotopes
for the next 24,000 years. Rather, they intend to plunder and
rape the land of all its natural resources, and even inhabit the
best of the land for themselves. Therefore a massive nuclear
strike, such as is posited by Gerald Flurry, Ted Armstrong, and
Roderick Meredith is neither warranted nor helpful. Do you think
the men behind the New World Order want to make the whole world
one vast Chernobyl?



      But as God warns, ALIENS in our very midst are in the
process of devouring our true strength, and subverting our
military forces, and weakening and destabilizing us, so that we
will be food for the fodder of the United Nations/New World
Order end-time Mega-World-Empire.



      The prophet Ezekiel provides a real insight into affairs
in our modern nations of the House of Israel -- particularly
America, Britain, and the English-speaking nations. We have
traveled far down the road of Socialism, and our leaders -called
"princes" in the Scriptures -- have led the people astray. Says
Almighty God through the prophet: "There is a CONSPIRACY of her
princes within her like a roaring lion tearing its prey; they
devour people, take treasures and precious things and make many
widows within her. Her priests do violence to my law and profane
my holy things; they do not distinguish between the holy and the
common; they teach that there is no difference between the
unclean and the clean; and they shut their eyes to the keeping
of my Sabbaths, so that I am profaned among them. Her officials
within her are like WOLVES tearing their prey; they shed blood
and kill people to make unjust gain. Her prophets whitewash
these deeds for them by false visions and lying divinations
[interpretations of Scripture and false teachings]. They say,
'This is what the Sovereign LORD says' -when the LORD has not
spoken. The people of the land practice extortion and commit
robbery; they oppress the poor and needy and mistreat the alien,
denying them justice.



      "I looked for a man among them who would build up the wall
[strengthen the country, economically, militarily, spiritually]
and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land so I would
not have to destroy it, but I found none. So I will pour out my
wrath on them and consume them with my fiery anger, bringing
down on their heads all they have done, declares the Sovereign
LORD" (Ezekiel 22:25-31, NIV).



                                                Corruption in
Very High Places



       God is disgusted with the national leaders of the United
States, Britain, and the modern nations of Israel. He looks down
upon the men running for President in the United States, and
doesn't see a good, decent man among them! In the current
President, He sees a man who smoked pot and used cocaine while
Attorney General and Governor of Arkansas, while playing with
his girlfriends. In fact, the U.S. media has done an incredible
job of covering up the sexcapades and skeletons in the closet of
the U.S.'s "first couple," Bill and Hillary Clinton. Contrast
their non-reporting on the Vince Foster murder and cover-up, and
Whitewatergate affair, with the hatchet-job the press did on
former President Richard Nixon during the Watergate scandal.



       In a shocking article in the London Sunday Telegraph,
however, it was charged that Bill Clinton used both marijuana
and cocaine routinely while Attorney General and Governor of
Arkansas The writer says the allegations of regular usage of
these drugs during his rise to political prominence in Arkansas
were made in a series of exclusive interviews, some of the
stories describing wild behavior at night clubs and private
parties. A variety of witnesses interviewed by the newspaper
claim his drug habit stretched well into his political career,
while he was part of the law enforcement machinery that gave
stiff sentences to drug felons. The paper asked, "And if the
President once had a major drug habit, when did it end? 1986?
1990? 1994?..."(Sunday Telegraph, July 17,1994).



       Mrs. Jane Parks, manager of Vantage Point, an upscale
apartment complex in Little Rock, Arkansas, was in a room next
to Roger Clinton's room, separated only by a thin wall.
Following the mysterious murder of her husband, Jerry Parks, she
decided to speak out about the goings on at the apartment of the
then Governor's younger brother. She could overhear
conversations in the next apartment, could clearly distinguish
Bill Clinton's voice, as he chatted about the quality of the
marijuana he and his brother were smoking. Governor Clinton,
then in his second term of office, was a frequent visitor in the
apartment. She could hear them talking about the cocaine as they
passed it back and forth. When Roger finally moved out, she
found drug paraphernalia in the kitchen drawer, and cocaine
spilt on the furniture. It was not uncommon for the brothers to
be joined by young women during these trysts, sharing the drugs,
who on occasion had sex with both the men. Other tenants
frequently complained to Mrs. Parks about the rowdy behavior in
room B107. Another resident of the apartment complex says, "Bill
had his girlfriends in there. You could hear them through the
walls. Some of them looked like very young girls to me.



       Mrs. Parks' husband Jerry was a former police officer and
then branch manager of a private security firm in Little Rock.
Fearing difficulties for his wife in her capacity as apartment
manager, he conducted his own surveillance of Roger's apartment,
writing down names, dates, and detailed accounts of who was
coming and going. He stored the handwritten file in their
bedroom dresser. By a quirk of fate, in 1992 when he had set up
his own security firm, he was awarded the security contract for
the Clinton-Gore Presidential campaign headquarters in Little
Rock. In early 1993, when he was not paid immediately, he made
repeated calls to the White House demanding payment. The money
finally arrived in July. But just a few days later his secret
file was stolen from the dresser in his bedroom in a
sophisticated burglary, in which the telephone wires were cut to
disable the high-tech alarm system. The file was the only item
stolen.



       Soon after the burglary, Jerry Parks received two phone
calls which his wife says left him in a state of paranoia,
popping valium, and taking his pistol with him everywhere, even
to collect mail at the end of the driveway. Two months later, he
was shot several times at short range at a suburban intersection
in Little Rock. The perpetrators were never caught by the
police, and the murder remains unsolved.



       This is only the tip of the iceberg. Obviously, God
Almighty is not pleased with this kind of leadership and conduct
on the part of the President of the United States !



                                    The "Butcher of Waco" and
the Abortion Holocaust



       At the present time, pro-life anti-abortionists are the
primary target of Bill Clinton's onslaught to attack Christians
and traditional-minded people. When a second abortionist was
murdered in Florida, the Administration of Bill Clinton went on
a "feeding frenzy" to terminate the "pro life" movement, pushing
through draconian new laws against freedom of assembly, denying
people the right to even gather and pray in front of abortion
clinics. Janet Reno, who has been dubbed the "Butcher of Waco,"
because of her ordering the incendiary attack on the Branch
Dividian compound which resulted in the deaths of over 80
innocent people, never convicted of any crimes, including
children, has suggested that the pro-life movement is one giant
conspiracy. She and the government now equate pro-lifers who
kneel and pray before abortion clinics as "terrorists."
Pro-lifers point out that in the battle against abortion, the
abortionists are winning. The body count is 2 abortionists
versus 37 million aborted babies.



       Writes Don McAlvany of this paradox, "Does something seem
wrong here? The people praying outside are called the
'criminals' and can be jailed, fined, and have their property
seized under new racketeering statutes and other laws, while the
people doing the killing of babies inside are called the 'honest
law abiding citizens' and are protected by federal government
Marshals. Shades of Nazi Germany! And most Americans can't see
anything wrong with that!" (The McAlvany Intelligence Advisor
August 1994, p. 19).



       No wonder God says, "I looked for a man among them who
would build up the wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf
of the land so I would not have to destroy it, but I found
none." None of our leaders could stand before God. They are
leading the way into the Satan-inspired New World Order, with
greedy and cheerful abandon.




The Octopus



       This final composite World Empire is described as the
"fourth beast" in Daniel 7. It is a huge octopus with
far-reaching arms and tentacles. It will devour the whole earth !



       Now notice again carefully this "fourth beast" of Daniel.
It will have ten horns (Dan. 7:20), and will be "exceedingly
dreadful" and exceedingly warlike and destructive (v. l9). It
will even persecute and wage war on true Christians, the
"saints" (Dan. 7:21). It is the same as the beast of Revelation
13, which also has "ten horns (Rev. 13:1). But now notice
carefully: This beast has the characteristics of the other three
beasts of Daniel 7 -- the body of the leopard, the feet and
claws of the bear, and the mouth of the lion! (v.2). Thus it is
evident that this last undescript beast has taken on the
characteristics of the other three beasts -- the Bear -- Russia,
Lion -- United States and Britain, the leopard  -- Egypt and the
Arab states. Yet this final Beast corresponds to the BLACK horse
of Europe -- the "Fourth Beast," or what Hitler would have
called "The FOURTH REICH." Somehow, it will absorb and rule
over-- at least for a time -- the other three beasts, as they
are incorporated into its structure and power!



       Thus this fourth Beast -- the New World Order -- will
include by force if necessary the characteristics of the other
three beasts of Daniel 7. It will utilize the powers of the
United States, Russia, and Egypt and Arab nations. What other
international body could do this today besides the UNITED
NATIONS? The United States has already brought itself under the
rulership of the United Nations insofar as UNESCO and many UN
operations are concerned. The United States presently allows UN
troops from Germany, Russia, and many other nations to TRAIN at
American military bases, often in conjunction and cooperation
with American forces, troops, and performing join maneuvers and
interdiction operations, including simulated attacks on civilian
"terrorists," and "dissenters." Although these operations seldom
if ever make the evening news, newspapers or television news,
various patriotic publications keep an eye on them and report
the truth, week by week, keeping the watchful public informed.
The rest, the vast majority, unfortunately, are asleep at the
switch, and don't even realize what is happening!



       There can be no doubt that the United States and the ten
tribes of Israel, which long ago wandered to the west, and
established nations in Western Europe and North America, have
become part of a worldwide Babylonish system, and are now in the
process of becoming absorbed into a modern world
super-statewhich the Bible refers to as "Babylon the Great,"
with virtually no resistance! Although we are "Israel," we are
also part of modern BABYLON THE GREAT!



       Although there could well be vast resistance by patriots
and others in the United States, before the final deed in done
and accomplished, depending on the strength and fortitude of the
growing militia movement across the country, their resistance
will be too little and too late, and amount to merely a last
ditch attempt and last gasp at freedom, before the final
juggernaut of the New World Order and its legions of mercenaries
and troops overwhelm the resistance and bring the country into
the New World Order of the elite international bankers,
politicians, and globalists who think they have the answers for
everything that ails this planet.



       Little do most of the American and British leaders who
are cooperating in the takeover by the New World Order realize
that their own aims and dreams are to be suborned and subverted
by treasonous traitors, and that eventually a master politician
will seize control of the reins of power. A master politician,
the Antichrist, who is in the service of Satan the devil, will
subvert the whole process. He, as the representative of Satan
the devil, plans to rule the world in a tyrannical, brutal
global police state one last time, before his own end comes
(Rev. 12:9-17; 20:1-4).



       Who will this leader, who opposes all that is good and
decent, be? Could it be an American?



                                                   The Coming
"Antichrist"



       Biblical prophecy compares this end-time ruler and his
empire to the Roman Empire of Jesus' time. The Roman Empire, was
WEST of Judea, and believe it or not was largely ISRAELITE in
origin. The original founders of Rome were refugees from the
Israelite city of ancient Troy. The Etruscan Empire, which
dominated part of Italy in ancient times, was actually
established by the "lost ten tribes" of Israel. Many Israelites
of the Tribes of Dan Joseph, and Simeon dwelt in Rome and were
powerful rulers. At time the Jews themselves comprised 10
percent of the population of the Empire.



       Although the Roman Empire had much Israelite influence in
it, nevertheless it was characterized as a "Beast," and some of
its more notorious leaders were anti-types of the end-time
"Beast" or "Antichrist." Such infamous emperors as Nero,
Caligula, were undoubtedly "antichrists" of their own time and
epoch.



      Is the United States, today, part of MODERN ROME? The
mercantile capital of the world, today, is New York City -- a
veritable "Babylon" by anyone's standards. The city of London,
also, is a mercantile and banking "Babylon" -- the world's
banking headquarters of the earth. Evens the queen of England
must receive permission to enter the "city of London" from the
lord mayor.



      Many of us, in the past, have thought that the United
States -- since it is Ephraim, the dominant tribe of Israelmust
be conquered in a great military campaign, in order for Bible
prophecy to be fulfilled. But we have overlooked a more
distressing and likely possibility -- that we have already been
conquered stealthily from within during the past fifty years
since World War Il in a gradual process of subtle changes on top
of changes.



      Since the United States the world's greatest
'"Superpower," today, what would be more logical than for Satan
the devil to take it over from within, and use it as the
keystone of his own end-time "Babylon the Great"?



      Along these lines, consider the following:



"When Clinton came into office in 1992, the balance of trade
deficit was under $70 billion, and falling. By 1994 it had more
than doubled, to over $150 billion. An all-time record high.
Until 1995, that is: this year, the World bank projects the U.S.
deficit will hit $200 billion....



"Today, as a direct result of America's dollar plunging in
value, the U.S. imports 50 times more than it did in 1965, when
its dollar was strong. The more the dollar falls, the deeper in
debt America becomes, and the more staggering her import load
grows" (TWSU, p.6).



      How will this affect our country? William Jefferson
Clinton is no dummy. He knows what he is doing. Says The Wall
Street Underground:



"The collapse of the dollar is a watershed event. It was
engineered and carried out by that great liberal hero, Bill
Clinton. No other president before him would have let the dollar
collapse like this. They would have done everything in their
power to stop its destructive consequences.



"Not Clinton. He saw the 30% collapse of the Mexican peso as a
catastrophic event. It had to be stopped, he said. He even
rifled the U.S. Treasury to give the Mexicans tens of billions
to support the peso.



"But Clinton has totally ignored the 40% fall of the U.S.
dollar. He even pushed it lower. It makes you wonder what
country Bill Clinton is president of. I'll tell you: He is
president of the new world order. In that order America is
impoverished, as Clinton converts the wealth of the productive
members of society to the nonproductive....



"Clinton is no fool. He knows his dollar policy will not help
the U.S. But it will hasten his dream of a ONE-WORLD GOVERNMENT,
that he and his friends control. By facing constant market
strife and uncertainty, the world in time will accept a
ONE-WORLD CURRENCY. Sounds far-fetched? Well, consider that it's
getting closer to reality in Europe by the day" (TWSU, p. 12).



      Makes you stop and think, doesn't it? William Clinton is
clearly a strong contender in the rush to create a New World
Order. As President of the strongest military power on earth,
Clinton has been making all the right moves to emasculate
American sovereignty, to weaken her independent military, and to
make her part of the New World Order.



                                                       The Spell
of Blindness



       Britain also is rushing headlong to join the New World
Order. The government of Prime Minister John Major seems intent
on hitching its wagon with the European Economic Union. However,
voices are now being raised to question the move and its sanity.



       In The Daily Telegraph, Niall Ferguson (Fellow and Tutor
in Modem History, Jesus College, Oxford), wrote:



"The point about the EC's federal structure is not that it gives
Britain international influence, but that it negates Britain's
international influence. This has been apparent in the case of
the wars in former Yugoslavia. The common foreign policy which
emerged in response to Serbian and later Croatian attempts to
partition Bosnia has been a wretched advertisement for the EC.



"Some warn we could become a third-rank power on the periphery
of Europe. The best reply to that is: good, let us take the
risk, but let us at least determine our own destiny. Once, four
centuries ago, we were a third-rank power on the periphery of
Europe. We had the option of being absorbed into the European
Union of the Habsburgs. We rejected that option and went on,
over the next 300 years, to rule the most extensive Empire the
world has ever seen" (April 9, 1994).



      Although the push for Britain to join the European
Community is very strong, another voice raised in protest is
that of Christopher Booker in The Sunday Telegraph (May 1,
1994). Booker writes:



"Britain today is like a kingdom in an old fairy tale that has
been placed under a terrible spell. At an Institute of
Directors' conference on Tuesday I saw thousands of businessmen
who were stumbling around in a fog, semi-paralysed because they
know this thing that has them in its thrall is insane, but
unable to imagine that there could be any way out . . . It is
the same spell that has reduced all our politicians to gibbering
impotence, and that has alienated the Government from millions
of its formerly loyal supporters. . .



". . . there is only one way out of this claustrophobic
nightmare and that is simply to escape from it altogether....



"When we have done so we shall look back and see just what a
sham of painted cardboard this monster was. Suddenly we British
see the chance to be ourselves again, living freely once more in
the fresh air of a real world. It will be one of the greatest
instruments of liberation our country has known."





       But the forces propelling America and Britain into the
structure and form of the New World Order are strong, powerful,
wealthy, and have been working at their plot for decades. They
now sense that the fruition of their aims is near. The year 2000
could very well see the complete immersion of the Western World
into the new "Roman Empire."



      What does this mean for America, Britain, and the nations
of modern Israel?



                                                        Does
Civil War Lie Ahead?



       Will the attempt to merge our nations into a New World
Government be met with "Civil War"? Will American patriots fight
against this powerful statist movement?



       The prophet Zechariah tells us: "Open your doors, O
Lebanon, that fire may devour your cedars. Wail, O cypress, for
the cedar has fallen, because the mighty trees are ruined. Wail,
O oaks of Bashan, for the thick forest has come down. There is
the sound of wailing shepherds! For their glory is in ruins.
There is the sound of roaring lions [Americans, British, and
Jewish people -- and all modern Israel!]! For the pride of
Jordan is in ruins.



       "Thus says the LORD my God. 'Feed the flock for
slaughter, whose owners slaughter them and feel no guilt; those
who sell them say, 'Blessed be the LORD I am rich'; and their
[own] shepherds do not pity them. For I will no longer pity the
inhabitants of the land,' says the LORD. 'But indeed I will give
everyone into his neighbor's hand and into the hand of his king.
They shall attack the land [Civil War!], and I will not deliver
them from their hand" (Zech. 11:1-6).



       Does this describe the movement toward martial law and a
police state within the United States and modern Israel during
these last days? Does this describe the treacherous sellout and
betrayal of American and British sovereignty by the rich and
powerful, politicians and potentates, presidents and prime
ministers?



                                     What Should We Do in These
Perilous Times?



       As for our people and our nations, God thunders to us
individually and nationally, to COME OUT of this wicked,
evilish, diabolical Babylonish world-mega-state system and to be
no part of it! God declares, "COME OUT OF HER, MY PEOPLE, LEST
YOU SHARE IN HER SINS, and lest you receive of her plagues. For
her sins have reached to heaven, and God has remembered her
iniquities" (Rev. 18:4-5).



       The apostle Paul declares: '"Do not be unequally yoked
together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness
with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness?
And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a
believer with an unbeliever? And what agreement has the temple
of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As
God has said: 'I will dwell in them, And walk among them, I will
be their God. And they shall be My people.' 'COME OUT FROM AMONG
THEM, And be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is
unclean, And I will receive you.' 'I will be a Father to you.
And you shall be My sons and daughters, Says the Lord Almighty"'
(IICor. 6:14-18).



       Sooner or later, our people must wake up, and repent, and
come out of this Babylonish mess, or else suffer the wrath of
Almighty God, when He punishes the system with His divine
plagues and furious strokes. The sooner we come to our senses,
and repent, the less severe our ultimate punishment will be!



       The New World Order is fast approaching. As Christians,
we cannot stop it, we cannot stop the fulfillment of Bible
prophecy. Rather, we should realize that this is God's Judgment
upon our nations, and wayward, sinning, stubborn and disobedient
peoples, and that it must come to pass. We must stand aside from
armed conflict, and pray more earnestly, that God's Kingdom -His
TRUE Kingdom -- will come, and come quickly, and that we may be
accounted worthy ourselves to ESCAPE the hellishness that Satan
is planning to wreak upon planet earth, before his time is up!
(Luke 21:34-36).



       The New World Order is rapidly developing all around us,
sending out shoots, and strong ensnaring vines. We must be
doubly careful and vigilant. Many are already asleep. What about
you? Do you see what is happening, right before our very eyes?
Or are you duped by some false prophetic scenario? May God help
us all to WAKE UP!
