Storms on parade Kevin Roth and M. Ressler, Senior Meteorologists, The Weather Channel Mon Dec 11, 7:06 PM ET

A parade of storms is lined up from the state of Washington to Korea across the Pacific Ocean. Each system is forecast to impact the West Coast arriving 24 to 36 hours apart this week. Monday's storm heads inland overnight turning the rain to showers in Washington and Oregon. Snow levels are lowering from 4,000 feet to 2,500 feet Tuesday and 3,500 feet Wednesday as colder air moves in behind the storm. Showers and locally heavy mountain snow will continue overnight with the persistent onshore flow. A weaker storm will move in behind the main storm early Tuesday morning prolonging the showery activity another 6 to 12 hours.

Lighter showers will linger even behind the weaker storm Tuesday evening through early Wednesday morning. The next significant storm will arrive with wind, rain and snow during the early morning hours Wednesday lasting into Wednesday evening, and then the final system for this round will arrive Thursday night. From out of the central U.S., a weaker storm will move from the southern Plains overnight to the Great Lakes by Tuesday evening. A band of rain will precede the cold front from Michigan to the northern Gulf Coast. A few thunderstorms will accompany this expanding rain band and one or two of these thunderstorms from south-central Illinois to eastern Arkansas and northwest Mississippi could produce hail or damaging-wind gusts. Some wet snow will fall from northwest Iowa through central Minnesota Tuesday and eastern Minnesota, northern Wisconsin and northern Michigan Tuesday night. Any accumulations are expected to be light.

1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog,(RULER) the land of Magog,(RUSSIA) the chief prince of Meshech(MOSCOW)and Tubal,(TOBOLSK) and prophesy against him,
3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech(MOSCOW) and Tubal:
4 And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws,(GOD FORCES THE MUSLIMS TO MARCH) and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:

7 Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.
9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.(RUSSIA-EGYPT AND MUSLIMS)
10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:
11 And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
12 To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.

Iran stirs up hatred with Holocaust conference
By Alex Spillius,2:13am GMT 12/12/2006


Iran's foreign minister questioned the right of Israel to exist yesterday at the opening of a provocative conference on the Holocaust. The two-day gathering in Teheran is being attended by dozens of international guests, including a British anti-Zionist rabbi, who will hear presentations debating the use of the gas chambers.The Teheran conference was attended by six members of Jews United Against Zionism. Some wore badges that had Israel’s flag crossed out.In opening remarks, Manouchehr Mottaki said: If the official version of the Holocaust is thrown into doubt, then the identity and nature of Israel will be thrown into doubt. If... it is proved that the Holocaust was a historical reality, then what is the reason for the Palestinians having to pay the cost of the Nazis' crimes?

The conference, Review of the Holocaust: Global Vision, was initiated by Iran's president, Mahmoud Ahmedinejad, who has described the killing of six million Jews in Nazi Germany as a myth and called for Israel to be wiped off the map. His remarks have caused grave international alarm at a time that Iran is feared to be developing nuclear weapons.In an address broadcast to the nation yesterday, Mr Ahmadinejad questioned why the West would not allow any investigation into the Holocaust. He is expected to address the meeting today.Earlier in the day the president faced the first protest since winning elections 18 months ago. Students lit a firework and burned his photograph in the audience as he delivered a speech at the Amir Kabir technical university.Up to 60 protesters chanted death to the dictator, the Islamic Republic News Agency reported. The president's supporters in the audience then shouted back, before his speech continued. There were no reports of arrests.

Israel, the United States and a leader of Iran's own 25,000-strong Jewish community condemned the Teheran meeting, which is believed to be the first of its kind sponsored by a state. Ehud Olmert, the Israeli prime minister, called it a sick phenomenon that shows the depth of the hatred of the fundamentalist Iranian regime.

The enlightened world must condemn this conference and the one who has convened it in the most determined manner, he said en route to Berlin to attend a conference where historians affirmed the accuracy of Nazi genocide data.Among the participants in the Teheran conference were six members of Jews United Against Zionism, who were dressed in the traditional long black coats and hats of Orthodox Jews. Some wore badges with Israel's flag crossed out.One of two rabbis in the contingent was Ahron Cohen, from London. He said: We came here to put the Orthodox Jewish viewpoint. We certainly say there was a Holocaust... but in no way can it be used as a justification for perpetrating unjust acts against the Palestinians. Rabbi Cohen is a member of Neturei Karta (Guardians of the City), a small global anti-Zionist movement which holds that the state of Israel cannot exist until the coming of the Messiah.

Jon Benjamin, chief executive of the Board of Deputies of British Jews, said: They are a fringe, but a fringe that detractors of Israel are making much of. The conference sits with Iran's agenda of demonising Israel, and linking Israel's existence to nothing more than a guilt trip of the Western powers.The Iranians claimed that 67 foreigners visited from 30 countries. They included the American
David Duke, a former Ku Klux Klan leader, and the French writer Georges Thiel, who has been convicted in France for spreading revisionist theories about the mass extermination of Jews.Many Iranians have admitted being embarrassed about the meeting, which followed Iran's decision to hold a competition for cartoons about the Holocaust in October. There are also elements within the Teheran establishment that are aware that it will only increase Iran's international isolation when it is also at odds with the United Nations over its nuclear programme.

Hamas wants 10 years to prepare for Israel's destruction
By Stan Goodenough,December 11, 2006


Hamas politburo chief Khaled Mashaal said Monday the Palestinian Arabs were willing to extend a 10-year ceasefire to the Jews and establish their state alongside Israel for now.The offer was a bid to relieve the Palestinians of the economic hardships brought about by the West's sanctions on the PA.During the decade-log truce, the Arabs would consolidate their state, after which they would be able to renew their onslaught against what would be left of Israel.While applauded by some as an offer of peacemaking, Mashaal's proposal is in line with the Islamic strategy of waging Mukawama (ongoing warfare) against its enemies.According to this doctrine, Muslims are permitted to sign ceasefires in order to strengthen themselves so that they can vanquish their enemies when the truce expires.What Muslim's are not permitted to do - and what PA prime minister Ismail Haniyeh made clear at the weekend that Hamas would never do - is allow a sovereign Jewish state to continue existing on any land that has been under Islamic control in the past.Islam teaches that to do so is an affront to Allah that brings his divinity into question and is therefore forbidden.

Israel downplays chance of conflict with Syria Mon Dec 11, 8:29 AM ET

JERUSALEM (AFP) Israeli officials have downplayed the chance of armed conflict with Syria, a day after a senior intelligence officer said Damascus was preparing for war with the Jewish state. Syria is constructing military apparatus to try and counter the supremacy of (Israeli) air, ground and naval forces, but nothing indicates that it intends to attack us, Deputy Defense Minister Ephraim Sneh told public radio Monday.A senior government official also said that we can see no signs of a nearing war with Syria.

The chief of parliament's influential foreign affairs and defense committee, Tsahi Hanegbi, told the radio: No one in Israel has precise information on Syria's intentions and we are examining all possibilities.The army takes into account these estimates and adapts them on the ground, he said.

On Sunday, General Yossi Beidetz, the head of the military intelligence research division, told a cabinet meeting that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad was preparing his forces for a military conflict with Israel.Syria has accelerated the production of long-range missiles and has deployed anti-tank rockets on its border with Israel, a senior intelligence official quoted Beidetz as saying, referring to the armistice line on the occupied Golan Heights.In a later statement, a spokesman said: The army does not have any information indicating offensive intentions (by Syria) on the border.

UWB gets approval in Europe
Wireless technology gets the green light and can be used in Europe as early as February By Nancy Gohring, IDG News Service,December 11, 2006


The European Commission's Radio Spectrum Committee gave the green light to UWB (ultrawideband), paving the way for the technology to be used in Europe as early as February.

The committee gave what's known as a positive regulatory opinion, which means the decision will now be formally adopted by the Commission and will then become binding E.U. law, said Mona Lund, a press officer for the European Commission, in an e-mail exchange. UWB is a wireless technology that can transmit data at 480Mbps and is designed primarily to move data over short ranges. Applications could include sending video from a computer to a television or photos from a digital camera to a computer. Lund could not reveal the restrictions that will govern the use of UWB in Europe, designed to ensure that UWB doesn't interfere with other wireless devices, but said that the Commission will publish the regulations over the next few days.

The committee was mindful of existing restrictions on UWB that have already been set in other regions of the world.

Globally harmonized products would of course benefit consumers, and we believe there is sufficient overlap between the UWB regulations in the U.S. and in the E.U. to encourage manufacturers to produce equipment that can be used in different regions, Lund said. Despite some historical objections from groups concerned that UWB could interfere with other wireless services, the 70 percent majority required to pass the decision in the Radio Spectrum Committee was easily obtained, Lund said. She expects the formal adoption procedure to be complete by early February after which member states will be required to adopt the measure as soon as possible and within six months. The U.S. Federal Communications Commission approved the use of UWB in 2002, but UWB products that comply with the industry trade group's certification process haven't yet hit the market. The technology has been controversial because rather than operating over a narrow frequency band, it transmits using very low power over a very wide swath of spectrum.

That raised concerns of interference in some wireless industries. UWB is expected to be used as a cable replacement. Developers of IPTV (Internet Protocol TV) products are creating UWB devices that can wirelessly send video from an end user's DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) router, for example, to a set-top box connected to a TV.

Mideast may save Dead Sea with Red Sea By SHAFIKA MATTAR, Associated Press Writer Mon Dec 11, 8:51 AM ET

SOUTHERN SHUNEH, Jordan - Officials from Jordan, Israel and the Palestinian Authority met along the shores of the Dead Sea to settle details of a study to save the shrinking body of water, agreeing to proceed with plans to draw water from the Red Sea.

The surface level of the Dead Sea the saltiest water in the world at the lowest point on Earth that is estimated at 1,200 feet below sea level has fallen about three feet a year in the past 20 years because of evaporation and allegedly the diversion of rivers by Syria and Israel.The Dead Sea and its surrounding has been the source of much human social history and it is linked to the three monotheistic religions Judaism, Christianity and Islam.In 2005, the three concerned parties appealed to the World Bank to coordinate financing the feasibility study. The World Bank have agreed and appealed to the donor countries.

Four donor countries — France, Japan, the United States and the Netherlands — have committed themselves to participate in financing the $15 million study. The study will look at the environmental and social consequences of transferring water from the Red Sea to the Dead Sea, Jordan's Minister of Water and Irrigation Mohammed Thafer al-Alem said Sunday.Geological experts warned that the drop in the water level would increase the earthquake possibilities. They also warn the Dead Sea will disappear in 50 years if current trends persist.The Israeli Minister of National Infrastructure, Binyamin Ben-Eliezer, said the study is an excellent example for cooperation, peace and conflict reduction.The Red-Dead Sea canal project, which is expected to cost more than $1 billion, would exploit the 1,320-foot difference in altitude between both areas.If implemented, the 248-mile desert area between the two seas would benefit from the fresh water to turn the region into an agricultural hub for the benefit of the three countries. A desalination project is also envisaged to provide drinking water for Amman. Israel and the Palestinian territories would also benefit from the drinking water.

Lieberman: Israelis Should Pledge Allegiance
By Hana Levi Julian (INN)


Strategic Affairs Minister Avigdor Lieberman declared at a Washington conference Sunday that Israelis Arabs and Jews alike should be required to pledge allegiance to the Jewish State. Lieberman, who addressed a group at the Saban Center for Middle East Policy, associated with the Brookings Institute, said Israeli citizens on both ends of the political spectrum need to learn that there are obligations as well as privileges connected with living in the Jewish State.Israel has the right to demand full allegiance from all its citizens, the Yisrael Beiteinu party chairman said firmly. He who is not ready to recognize Israel as a Jewish and Zionist state
cannot be a citizen in the country. This applies to extremists of the Neturei Karta as well as to the extremist factions of the Islamic Movement.Lieberman has repeatedly criticized Israeli-Arab Knesset Members for declaring support for terrorist entities committed to the destruction of Israel and traveling to meet with leaders in enemy countries, such as Syria and Lebanon.

Arab MKs who collaborate with the enemy and meet with Hamas leaders should be dealt with harshly, Lieberman said last month. Speaking in Israel's parliament, he demanded the government punish Knesset Members who incite and cooperate with terror and who sit in this house… who continue to freely meet with Hamas, with Hizbullah, and who go to make visits in Lebanon. In his remarks, which drew much criticism, Lieberman said such unauthorized meetings should be considered as collaboration with the enemy and treated as such: At the end of the Second World War, not only criminals were killed in Nuremberg, but also those who collaborated with them. I hope this will be the fate of the collaborators in this house.He added that Arab MKs declared Israel’s Independence Day as Nakba Day [Day of Disaster] and raised black flags. There is a directive on terrorism, according to which those who collaborate with it must face the law.Lieberman, who has been criticized by left-wing Knesset Members who slam what they refer to as his racist ideas, maintained that the U.S. government would never allow anti-American activities to be carried out by its government leaders.

It is unacceptable that a senator or a representative in the American house of representatives assist Afghanistan during the war and meet with Bin Laden and Al-Qaeda leaders, express his support for their war against the U.S. – and then be allowed to return to serve in Congress, he pointed out.Lieberman also said there were a number of misconceptions surrounding the idea of a Middle East peace agreement. Among them he noted these ideas: The notion that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is the main fact of instability in the Middle East, the notion that the conflict is territorial and not ideological, and the notion that the establishment of a Palestinian state based on the 1967 borders will end the conflict.The leader of the increasingly powerful Russian immigrant party recommended separating Arabs and Jews in Israel altogether, based on the Turkish-Greek Cypriot model. In an interview published last month in the British-based Sunday Telegraph, Lieberman said it was the only way to achieve peace in the region.Minister Lieberman is scheduled to present his views to US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice in Washington on Monday.

South America to look at EU-type model
11.12.2006 - 09:24 CET | By Honor Mahony
Eu Observer


South American leaders have said they will set up a high-level body to examine the idea of setting up an EU-style regional union. Bolivia's president Evo Morales finished a two-day summit of the South American Community of Nations by saying that he hoped that a such an economic bloc could become a reality within five years.We don't want it to take as long as with the European Union - 50 years to create. I hope it can take us less. Three, four, five years, said Mr Morales, according to Reuters.We seek that South America be forever a region of peace that works to solve the economic problems of its historically abandoned majority,he continued.The leaders agreed to lay the cornerstone of the South American integration process with complaints that the current set up under the Community of Nations, covering 12 countries, means that there is no power to see through and implement decisions.

Let's admit it, we take decisions but we do not have the power to implement them, said Venezuela's Hugo Chavez.The study-group will be part of an overall office set up in Rio de Janeiro to look at regional integration, including even the idea of a South American parliament.South America is not the only region to consider an EU-type model. Africa has also created the African Union, which is loosely based on the European Union.

EU to choose Galileo seat despite technical delays
11.12.2006 - 09:28 CET | By Lucia Kubosova


EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - EU ministers are set to choose the seat of Europe's satellite navigation programme Galileo - an ambitious project to compete with the American GPS by 2011 - but a decision on private contractors has been delayed. Eleven countries - the Czech Republic, Slovenia, Germany, Malta, Belgium, France, Spain, the UK, the Netherlands, Greece and Italy - have applied to host the public body to oversee the programme dubbed the Galileo Supervisory Authority. The EU's transport ministers will debate the location of the supervisory body during a working lunch within a general meeting in Brussels on Tuesday (12 December).The move comes after EU transport commissioner Jacques Barrot admitted on Friday that negotiations with the group of eight private partners who will manage the Galileo system - originally planned to close in late 2005 - were still ongoing.

No one has an interest in seeing these talks fail, he said in a Brussels press conference, but did not say when the talks would resume.I think that even if there is a little delay in signing this concession contract, things are on the right track, said Mr Barrot.

The European Commission has launched an open consultation with stakeholders on how the EU should make the best use of the satellite navigation applications which will emerge once Galileo is completed, mainly in terms of the legal framework for the role of public bodies in its development.Brussels believes the system will bring new prospects to various commercial sectors which will eventually help to boost the economic growth and jobs and also improve the daily life of citizens around the world.The system is mainly supposed to be used for civilian purposes - such as the management of Europe's transport infrastructure - railways, roads and sea lanes - and will cost about €1 billion from the bloc's common coffers in the next seven-year budgetary period.

With around 30 satellites projected to be part of the system, it could offer services such as direction finding and search and rescue.These economic returns are many times higher than the costs of the system itself, Mr Barrot said.However, the commissioner recently sparked controversy by suggesting that Galileo's satellite data could be used for military purposes - an option which remains open he said on Friday.Apart from the Galileo seat, transport ministers will also debate the commission's proposals on cutting roaming charges and postal services liberalisation.

HALF OF EARTHS POPULATION DIE DURING THE 7 YR TRIBULATION.(THESE VERSES ARE JUDGEMENT SCRIPTURES NOT RAPTURE SCRIPTURES)

LUKE 17:34-37
34 I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.
35 Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
36 Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
37 And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.(Christians have new bodies,this is the people against Jerusalem during the 7 yr treaty)(Christians bodies are not being eaten by the birds).

MATTHEW 24:37-51
37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.
44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?
46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
47 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.
48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;
49 And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;
50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,
51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Olmert says Israel among nuclear nations DEC 11,2006

JERUSALEM - Prime Minister Ehud Olmert listed Israel among the nations that have nuclear weapons in an interview aired on Monday but his office said the remark was misinterpreted.

Israel has a long-standing policy of ambiguity on nuclear weapons, refusing to confirm or deny whether it has them. But Olmert's remarks came days after incoming U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates said in testimony to a Senate committee that Israel was a member of the club of nuclear-armed nations.The U.S. and Israel suspect Iran is trying to develop nuclear weapons. In an interview with a German TV station aired Monday before Olmert arrived in the country, he was asked about Iran's threat to destroy Israel.Olmert responded that Israel has never threatened to annihilate anyone and added: Iran openly, explicitly and publicly threatens to wipe Israel off the map. Can you say that this is the same level, when you are aspiring to have nuclear weapons, as America, France, Israel, Russia?

Olmert's office said the quote was taken out of context, noting that in other parts of the interview, Olmert several times refused to confirm that Israel has nuclear weapons. Olmert spoke in English, which is not his first language.Israel's policy has always been to declare that it will not be the first to introduce nuclear weapons into the Middle East, without confirming or denying it has them.Foreign experts have concluded that Israel has hundreds of nuclear bombs and is the sixth-largest nuclear weapons power in the world.

Here we are again folks lukewarmers that say the world will end, they better read the Bible again the World will never end only the sinners will be destroyed and eaten by the Birds in WW3.

The Doomsday Code (LUKEWARMER ON END TIME EVENTS) DEC 11,2006

In this Channel 4 documentary Tony Robinson investigates the people with powerful political friends in the White House, who are trying to bring about the end of the world. Julia Bard reports.Revelation, the last book in the New Testament, is filled with bizarre, violent and terrifying images. Its origins are unclear and its content is controversial. Some say it is the work of St John but many others believe he could not have been the author. But whoever wrote it, described apocalyptic visions of plagues, famines, wars, devils, wild beasts and rivers of blood. It is so strange and complex that scholars down the centuries have continually reinterpreted its message and meaning.Today, though, a growing number of American evangelical Christians reckon they have cracked the code.

These End Timers believe that every weird word of Revelation predicts real events. Like a Hollywood sci fi movie they say that any time now the world will end. And when it does, true believers in Christ will be whisked up to heaven in an event called The Rapture while non-believers are left behind on earth to face famine, war, terror and destruction as the forces of good and evil fight to the bitter end.

Political implications

If this was confined to the personal beliefs of a few fundamentalists it would be of little significance but, says Tony Robinson, the leaders of the End Time movement are rich, well-connected and very powerful. Though the USA constitution enshrines the separation of church and state End Timers are frequent visitors to the White House. No one knows if George W Bush is an End Timer himself, but his policies are at one with those of the evangelical Right and his language is often apocalyptic, such as when he describes the war on terror as 'the epic struggle of good and evil.

Jerusalem

According to the prophecy, Jerusalem is where this final battle is to be played out. No stranger to conflict and violence, this city is the focus of End Timers' dreams of eternal paradise, because, according to their beliefs, this is where Christ will come back to earth. But first, they say, the Jews must return. End Timers believe that the establishment of the State of israel in 1948 was a fulfilment of the biblical prophecy and that since then 'the last days clock has been ticking.Many of them interpret the US government's policies on Israel and the Middle East from a biblical point of view. Before the war in Iraq, the USA supported a negotiated settlement in which Israel would return the Occupied Territories to the Palestinians. By 2004, after a torrent of criticism of the Roadmap to Peace, Bush's position had changed and now there is no call for a large-scale withdrawal from the West Bank.End Timers parade through the streets of Jerusalem and take large amounts of cash to illegal West Bank settlements to encourage the residents to entrench themselves more deeply on this Palestinian land. In Jerusalem itself, Jews are being bankrolled by Christian fundamentalists to reside in Arab houses. The End Timers think that Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon suffered a stroke (was removed from the scene) because he wanted to give back some of the Palestinian land.

Many Israelis are very worried about the kind of support they are being offered. One journalist says that this is not based on Israel's needs and that there is no support for peacemaking. On the contrary, the agenda of the Evangelicals is war, so as to fulfil violent prophecy of Revelation.Provocatively, some End Timers have joined forces with a fundamentalist Jewish group who want to rebuild the Temple of Solomon – touching on the ancient Jewish yearning for their destroyed Temple. But the place where they plan to build it has deep meaning for the three Abrahamic religions – Judaism, Christianity and Islam. The Temple Mount, where Islam's 3rd most holy site, Al-Aqsa (murderer) Mosque, is situated, is the spot where Muslim, Jewish and Christian believers think that God created Adam, Abraham prepared his son Isaac to be sacrificed, and according to his vision, Muhammed was carried on a winged horse.

Mainstream Christians in the locality are appalled. They say attempts to rebuild the Temple are inflammatory and threaten to unleash even more bloodshed in the Middle East.

Predictions of war

Could it be that this is precisely what they are trying to provoke, in order to hasten the end of days? According to End Timers, when the believers are whisked up to heaven those left behind will face the ultimate battle between good and evil. It will take seven years to count the dead, they say – the time of Tribulation, a hell on earth. Israel will survive, according to this story, but will have a sudden victory only after a long war. Some say this means nuclear war and they support the war in Iraq because they believe that will bring it closer. Megiddo is the Hebrew name for Armageddon: the town where this carnage will occur. For some End Timers, all this is big – very big – business. Tim LaHaye's Christian fiction series, Left Behind, has sold 63 million books, and movies of the books have been made by Cloud Ten Pictures. The internet is awash with websites which tell you how to prepare for The Rapture, and there are American shops to sell you everything you need to survive (for around $3,000) if you're unfortunate enough to be left behind.The concept of the Antichrist originated in Medieval times, and is not found in the Bible. Nevertheless these evangelical Christians believe that the Antichrist is 'walking among us right now', the incarnation of evil, luring people to his cause with false
promises of peace. For End Timers, the United Nations, whose role is to seek and maintain peace across the world, fits this description perfectly.

Undermining Africa

Now End Time beliefs are now spreading to Africa, with dire consequences. Uganda's President, Yoweri Museveni, is a born again Christian who is lionised by American End Timers.

An American preacher in the capital, Kampala, says that the answers to Uganda's problems are not political, economic or educational, but can be found in the Bible, which he describes as God's constitution for the planet.Newspaper editor Andrew Mwenda is appalled by these Doomsday preachers, who he believes are converting young people and diverting them from fulfilling their potential and pursuing their careers. He says: This country is on a highway to hell. Uganda was a model in Africa of AIDS education and prevention and the rate of infection was falling. Now Museveni is promoting abstinence rather than safer sex, the number of cases is rising.Teacher Julius Othieno describes children being taken out of school, and not taking medicine when they are ill, in order to hasten their death.

Revelation

What is the real source of these ideas that so many people attribute to the book of Revelation? Whoever wrote it sheltered in a cave on the Greek island of Patmos, probably a refugee from Roman occupied Palestine. He is also likely to have consumed the local hallucinogenic magic mushrooms. So rather than taking these bizarre visions literally, it might make more sense to try to understand them in their historical context. There are some 40 apocalyptic books from this era but this was the only one that made it into the Bible. If the author was writing about the hated Roman Empire, it could be that the seven heads of the beast meant the seven emperors. The mark of the beast could be the head of the emperor on the coins. The dreaded 666 very likely represented three letters indicating the Emperor Nero – representing letters by numbers was, and is, common in Hebrew. If so, instead of being a description of a world in chaos, it could be seen as a book of morality, optimism and faith.Let's hope the End Timers start to see it like that before their actions really do bring about the end of the world.
