WORLD EVENTS FROM A BIBLICAL PERSPECTIVE

2. Many have stated that it is impossible to know whether or not we are living in the last days
before the second coming of Jesus Christ. However, below you will find dramatic proof that
these are the endtimes. The proofs below defy coincidence.
Euphrates River to Be Dried Up In Revelation 16:12, the Bible predicts that the Euphrates River
will be dried up to prepare the way for the kings of the east to invade Israel. This will happen at the time of the battle of Armageddon
according to verse 16 of the same chapter. The battle of Armageddon will be the final battle at which time Jesus will return and fight
on the side of the nation of Israel. Immediately thereafter He will establish His kingdom and usher in His one thousand-year reign of
peace. On January 13, 1990, the Indianapolis Star carried the headline “Turkey Will Cut Off Flow of Euphrates for One Month.” The
article stated that a huge reservoir had been built by Turkey. While filling up the reservoir, the flow of the Euphrates would be stopped
for one month and a concrete plug for a diversion channel built. These things have now been done. With this newly built dam, Turkey
has the ability to stop the Euphrates River at will. The conditions for fulfilling this 1,900 year-old prophecy are now in place.
China Goes to War In Revelation 9:15-16,
the Bible prophesies that an army of 200 million soldiers will launch a war which would kill “the third part of men.” Never in the
history of the world until our present generation has there been a power on earth that could field 200 million soldiers. However, the
late ruler of China, Mao Tse Tung boasted in his diary that he could field an army of 200 million. The CIA World Factbook reports
that in the year 2001, it is estimated that China has 200,886,946 men of military age, and this number is growing by 10 million per
year.
Worldwide Numbering System Predicted In Revelation 13, the Bible prophesies that a
world dictator will soon rule over a world government. He will cause all people in the earth to receive a number without which they
will be unable to buy or sell. We are seeing this prophecy fulfilled before our eyes in a most astonishing way. Nearly every human
being in the world now has been assigned a number. In America it is our Social Security number. In the past few years, we have seen
this number extended to newborns. A child without a Social Security number cannot be declared as a dependent on an income tax
return. We have seen the emergence of electronic money, shopping with credit cards, and many people urging the abolishment of cash.
All of these things could not possibly have been fulfilled until this present time. Only after the invention of the computer could such a
worldwide numbering system be administered.
The Emergence of a New World Order Revelation 13:7 and
Daniel 7:23 prophesy the establishment of a world government. The term “New World Order” has become a prevalent phrase in the
world’s political culture. Mikhail Gorbachev made the term famous, and Pope John Paul II has referred to it repeatedly. In the
September 12, 1990 issue of the Chicago Tribune, our former president George Bush said, “Iraq is the first test for the New World
Order.” He emphatically stated that the Iraq War is Saddam Hussein against the world. The United Nations’ troops are continually
referred to as the multi-national forces. The decision has been made to establish an interdependent community of nations that will rule
the world under United Nations authority. The Bible says that this will lead us into a great world government. The formation of this
government is at hand.
or Divine Providence?
Is it coincidental that all of these major prophecies pertaining to the last times are being fulfilled simultaneously?
Hardly.

8 Effects of 9/11—One Year Later
Last fall, Endtime took an in depth look at
the prophetic implications of the terror
attack on America—what would rise from
the ashes of the World Trade Center and
Pentagon? With the Bible as our guide,
the quest began to look beyond the wake
of September 11. Today, one year removed
from the most catastrophic event in mod-
ern U.S. history, the answers are clearer.
Let’s see how the events of 9/11 have
directly affected the fulfillment of endtime
Bible prophecies.

5. Prophecy Tour 2003
Israel • Greece • Patmos
Three-day Greek Islands Cruise
Where are the two most exciting places on earth to travel during the year 2003? How
about Jerusalem where our Lord was born over 2,000 years ago and the Isle of Patmos
where the Book of Revelation was written? Add to that Bethlehem, Nazareth, Samaria,
Judea, Athens, Corinth, Mars Hill, Ephesus, Rhodes, and a Mediterranean Sea cruise—
and you have the trip of a lifetime! I want to personally invite you to join us for Prophecy
Tour 2003. You won’t want to miss it!
In Israel:
We will stand on the Mount of Olives where Jesus will stand when He returns—Visit
the Temple Mount itself where the Third Temple will soon be built—See the corner-
stone intended for the rebuilding of the Third Temple—At the Temple Institute we will
see the vessels and the garments already prepared for resumption of temple worship—
Visit the Garden Tomb and the Garden of Gethsemane—See the site of the coming
Battle of Armageddon—We will visit Judean settlements where Jesus prophesied great
tribulation will come in the near future (Matthew 24:15-21)—Boat across the Sea of
Galilee where Jesus walked on the water—and much, much more!
In Greece:
We will visit the home of the Corinthian church in Corinth, and visit Mars Hill in
Athens where Paul preached his famous sermon concerning the “Unknown God.”
Mediterranean Sea Cruise:
The first stop of will be the beautiful and famous island of Mykonos. Then we sail to
the Island of Rhodes (Acts 21:1). The next day we visit Patmos where John wrote the
Book of Revelation. The last day of the cruise takes us to Ephesus. Ephesus is the most
incredible archaeological site I have ever visited. We will walk on the Roman roads that
Paul walked on 2,000 years ago, and stand in the 23,000-seat theater where the
Ephesians shouted “Great is the goddess Diana” for two hours! The ship will be our float-
ing hotel and restaurant for these three beautiful, relaxing and exciting days.
Those who went on our cruise three years ago have yet to quit talking about it! I’m
sure it will be the same for you.
The cost for the entire Israel, Greece, and Mediterranean Sea Cruise will be $2,650
plus tips and taxes. If at all possible, I’m sure you will want to take the cruise, especial-
ly since it includes Patmos and Ephesus. You can insure your place on the tour by send-
ing a deposit of $200 as soon as possible. Total payment will need to be made 45 days

What does the Euphrates River have to
do with the coming apocalyptic war?
World Book Encyclopedia depicts the
Euphrates River as beginning in Turkey,
flowing through Syria, then through Iraq,
and finally emptying into the Persian
Gulf. Every single country through which
the Euphrates flows is a Muslim country.
The Euphrates River is an exclusively
Muslim River!
Verse 14 speaks of four angels bound in
the Euphrates River. What could this
mean? Hebrews 1:13-14 states that
angels are spirits. We know that there are
obedient angels and there are rebellious
angels. Scripture teaches us that one-third
of the angels of heaven joined Satan in his
rebellion against God Himself.
Would it then be possible that the
angels of the Euphrates are evil spirits
that have been held in check until the
appointed time? Could these spirits be
the spirits of militant Islam?
As we have discussed, three powers on
earth could possibly field an army of 200
million. But only one of the three can lay
claim to a special relationship with the
Euphrates River.

possibly lasting as long as ten years.
All the talk is presently focused on the
planned attack against Saddam Hussein
and Iraq. Some observers believe that
Saddam will draw Israel into the coming
war, and that this will precipitate the
entrance of other Muslim countries into
the conflict against Israel and the United
States. The possible scenario closely
resembles the prophecy of Revelation
9:13-16.
All reports are saying that the U.S. will
attack Iraq within the next twelve
months. If things play out as many people
think they will, it is entirely possible that
we could see the fulfillment of Revelation
9 within the next year.

Interestingly, the United States voted
against the Statute after having been its
