2004 End of the Year Update (cont.)
Antichrist:Rising in Europe? Recently I was asked could the EU become
the new Roman Empire? On October 29th the leaders of all 25 EuropeanUnion
member nations
signed a new constitution for all of Europe. The signing took place
on Capital Hill in Rome! Capital Hill is one of the famous 7 hills
in Rome. In antiquity it was the center of religious life in the
Roman Empire. It was the ancient site of important sanctuaries
and pagen temples. Today it serves as the center of municipal government
in Rome. The EU constitution still has to be ratified by each member
state and if approved it is slated to take effect in 2007. This
major step is being hailed as a great day for Europe and it’s
aspiration of total integration. United Nations secretary Kofi
Anan hailed the signing as a “major milestone in EU history“.
The event has been called „a seismic shift in EU politics“.
It could also be called a seismic shift toward the fulfillment
of end time Bible prophesy. The recent developements of the EU
looks similar to what the Bible predicts for the end of the age.
Although what the Bible predicts in Daniel 7 and Revelations 17
is not yet in place, the basic governmental and economic components
are in place for this to take form. All that remains now is for
the EU to develope some form of a 10 member ruling body and then
for one man to come on the scene in the EU and ascend to power.
That could be the Antichrist scenario that would unfold in the
final form of the revived Roman Empire and ultimately the whole
world. Watch and pray concerning the EU and the developements there.
The events we are watching in Europe may be the prelude to the
reunited Roman Empire prohesied by Daniel the prophet 2500 years
ago! Jesus said to His disciples...“Watch and Pray“!
Locust Plague
In the Bible, locusts were the eighth of
10 plagues that God inflicted on the ancient Egyptians before
Pharaoh, their King, let the Israelites
go. Millions of locusts swarmed through Israel’s Red Sea
resort town of Eilat devouring crops and flowers in the country’s
south last week. Locusts ventured across the Negev desert as far
north as the Dead Sea where farmers were worried that larger number
of insects said to be heading their way might eat through their
crops. “You watch as trees that are covered with flowers
are devoured. They ate everything even a grassy roundbout which
was covered by locusts“. “It’s like the plagues
of Egypt“ said one Israeli. Thank God a cold front stopped
the plague from spreading and early rains prevented the locusts
from breeding and spreeding toward Israel’s more fertile
north. The last major invasion of African locusts 45 years ago
ravaged crops in the Jewish State. It was the worst Locust plague
since the 1950’s.
Before the Flood
The first rain of the winter season fell
last week, rousing from its summer slumber the conditioned reflex
of concern for the level
of Lake Kinneret. The level - which has become part of the Israeli
collective consciousness - rose, it turned out, by one centimeter.
That is an insignificant fact; even the Water Commission thinks
so. Nevertheless, the news item was published on the Internet and
discussed extensively on current events programs on the radio.
It's a uniquely Israeli thing. Only Israelis are capable of grasping
the national buzz that starts up every winter over the level of
Lake Kinneret, better known abroad as the Sea of Galilee. The Kinneret
fever has a very Jewish survival aspect - the fear that we might
die of thirst next summer.Well, that's not going to happen. Moreover,
Pinhas Green, the director of the Kinneret Administration, says
proudly, "If we have a winter identical or similar to the
last one," so much water will collect in Lake Kinneret this
winter that the Degania Dam will have to be opened“.Last
week, the level of Lake Kinneret stood at 210.80 meters below sea
level (the Mediterranean Sea). By comparison, in November 2003
the level was minus 210.99 meters, a difference of 19 centimeters,
which is a lot in Kinneret terms. The upper red line is minus 208.80
meters: the lake cannot hold more water than that (the lower red
line, by the way, is minus 213 meters).
