INDONESIA QUAKE

Interesting last 3 days since the Israeli elections, like I said prophecy is on the fast track now.

Bahran ship sinks kills at least 62 people. Australia gets 2nd cyclone hit and in the states as many as 20 Tornadoes hit causing fires to run rampant from the winds. The Quake in Iran yesterday and now this Quake in Indonesia.

Quake hits eastern Indonesia 2 hours, 53 minutes ago JAKARTA

(Reuters) - An earthquake measuring 6.4 on the Richter scale struck off the eastern Indonesian island of Talaud early on Saturday, but there were no immediate reports of casualties or damage, an Indonesian official said.

The quake's epicenter was in the sea 42 km (26 miles) west of Talaud and at a depth of 33 km, staff official Lukito of the Jakarta earthquake center told Reuters.

Talaud is between Sulawesi, one of Indonesia's major islands, and Mindanao in the Philippines, and lies around 2,250 km northeast of Jakarta.

"We have confirmed the situation with the police officer at Talaud and he said there were no reports of damage and casualties," Lukito said.

An official at the earthquake office in Sulawesi's Manado, the nearest major city, also said there were no reports of victims or damage so far.

Indonesia's vast archipelago runs along part of an area of intense volcanic and earthquake activity known as the Pacific "Ring of Fire.

IRAN GETS QUAKED

Well Iran is getting a bit of judgement for coming against Israel. 3 Quakes, a 5.0 and 2 big after shocks. Iran was obviously behind the bombing today also of 3 or 4 dead Israelis.

LUKE 21:11
11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.

Earthquake kills at least 17, injures hundreds in western Iran 48 minutes ago

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) - A strong earthquake followed by several aftershocks jolted western Iran early Friday, killing at least 17 and injuring hundreds, Iranian news media reported. The quake had a preliminary magnitude of 5.0 and was centred near Boroujerd and Doroud, two industrial cities in western Iran, the Islamic Republic News Agency reported.

The quake was followed by two weaker aftershocks but a third tremor had a magnitude of 6.0 and hit Doroud and surrounding villages at shortly before 5 a.m. local time Friday, IRNA reported.

http://enews.voanews.com/tctl=1197615:1F9CF4C Witnesses say a bomber was disguised as a religious JewIsraeli soldiers, police inspect wreckage of car after it explodes near West Bank Jewish settlement of Kedoumim A Palestinian suicide bomber has killed four Israelis at the entrance to a West Bank Jewish settlement.

The Israeli military says three Israelis in a car apparently agreed to give him aride. The attacker then blew himself up near the settlement ofKedumin, west of Nablus.The body of the fourth Israeli was found near the site of the explosion.The Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, an offshoot of the Fatah Party of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, claimed responsibility for the attack.

The group identified the bomber as a 24-year-old man from Hebron. Separately, Israel carried out an airstrike in the Gaza Strip earlyFriday, hitting an area used by Palestinian militants for firing rockets into Israel. Palestinians say the missile attack damaged a bridge and broke a waterpipe. There were no reports of casualties. Some information for this report was provided by AFP, AP and Reuters.------------------------------------------------------

2ND CYCLONE TO HIT AUSTRALIA

Once again for the 2nd time in 10 days a cyclone is bombarding Austrailia. The sea and the waves are definately roaring over in Australia.

LUKE 21:25-26
25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity (MASS CONFUSION); the sea and the waves roaring;
26 Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

High winds lash western Australia as cyclone nears Thu Mar 30, 1:56 AM ET

PERTH, Australia (Reuters) - Hundreds of people were evacuated and thousands more prepared to ride out a severe cyclone bearing down on the northwest Australian coast on Thursday, carrying winds of up to 155 mph. Gale-force winds of at least 62 mph were lashing the coast as tropical Cyclone Glenda approached, emergency officials said. The cyclone had already shut oil and gas fields and disrupted iron ore shipments.

It was expected to roar ashore within hours between the iron ore and tourism town of Karratha, about 950 miles north of Perth, and nearby Onslow in the sparsely populated and ruggedly beautiful Pilbara region of Western Australia state. About 500 people had already been evacuated from Karratha but Glenda was now too close for any more to safely leave their
homes, local officials said.

"Most people are staying in their own homes. There have been some evacuations that were done last night," Roeburn regional council president Danielle Nazzari told Sky Television.
The Pilbara region, which has been put on red alert, is home to more than 12,000 people and includes Woodside Petroleum's A$14 billion ($10 billion) North West Shelf liquefied natural gas project at Karratha.

Glenda is a category four storm, one below the most powerful grade, and is moving slowly through an area known as "cyclone alley" which is regularly swept by storms at this time of year. Emergency workers feared it could be as destructive as Cyclone Larry, which destroyed homes and crops on Australia's northeastern coast 10 days ago, or Hurricane Katrina, which devastated the U.S. city of New Orleans last August.

"This does have the potential to do what happened in the eastern states and what happened in America," State Emergency Services official Steve Cable told Australian television."Everything is saturated, water is lying everywhere. Flooding is going to be a real problem," he said.
Australia's Bureau of Meteorology also warned of dangerous flooding from abnormally high tides and damaging waves in a region already awash from five previous cyclones this season.
"Residents between Karratha and Onslow are specifically warned of the potential of a very dangerous storm tide as the cyclone crosses the coast," the bureau said in its latest cyclone warning update (www.bom.gov.au).

Local television showed residents battening down as the cyclone approached, fastening steel grilles over their windows or tying caravans down with thumb-thick wire cables as rain and strong winds whipped through Karratha and nearby towns."If it hits with full impact I do not expect to come back to anything. I may not even come back and look for it," one unidentified
resident said. Woodside on Tuesday suspended production at its 100,000-barrel-per-day (bpd) Cossack oilfield in the Indian Ocean, while oil and gas producer Santos Ltd. has shut its 40,000 bpd Mutineer-Exeter oil field.

BHP Billiton's 10,600 bpd Griffin oil field has been closed since Saturday, after it was threatened by a smaller storm. BHP Billiton and fellow mining giant Rio Tinto both have operations in the Pilbara, which has large deposits of iron ore. Rio said its port operations at Dampier and Cape Lambert had shut and ships had put to sea. BHP said it had also closed its port operations at nearby Port Hedland.

Rio said on Tuesday bad weather meant the company would fall 5 million tons short of its first-quarter iron ore output target. It still expected 2006 output to rise 14 percent on last year's 158 million tons.

ISRAELI ELECTIONS PROPHECIES ON FAST TRACK

Solar Eclipse Envelopes Israel in Brief Darkness Both (stories Arutz-7 news)
By Ezra HaLevi

A 82% solar eclipse enveloped Israel in sudden darkness Wednesday. The eclipse began at 11:37 AM, peaked at 12:58, and lasted until 2:13 PM. The following are pictures from the eclipse. As Israel digested the results of Tuesday's election, the sky went dark, the sun was slowly blocked out, temperatures dropped and animals howled, barked and crowed across the Land of Israel.

An eclipse occurs when the moon passes between Earth and the sun during daylight hours, causing its shadow to pass across the planet. Viewed from inside the moon's shadow on Earth, the moon is exactly the right size to completely block the sun. From Israel, Wednesday's eclipse blocked 82% of the sun.

The moon's shadow began in Brazil, crossed the Atlantic, Ghana, Nigeria and Chad. The shadow of the moon then passed by way of the Mediterranean across southeast Turkey and continued until Siberia.

First we see in the last days there will be signs in the Sun, Moon and stars, the Solar eclipse.

LUKE 21:25-26
25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity;( mass confusion) the sea and the waves roaring;
26 Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

NOW TO THE ISRAELI ELECTIONS

Well now that Kadima and Olmert won the elections, Bible prophesy will be on the fast track.
Olmert wants to evacuate 70,000 ISRAELIS from parts of Israel in the next 4 yrs. This is trouble, when the Bible says in Joel 3:2 thats why WW3 starts because Israelis are parted from their GOD givin land.

JOEL 3:2
2 I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.

And Olmerts 4 yr timeline is right on scheduale with mine, I figure by 2012 at the latest the 7 year final peace treaty of Daniel 9:27 should be signed.

DANIEL 9:27
27 And he (EU PRESIDENT) shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

I really thought that Benjamin Netanyahu would win the elections, because he said on CNN that he believes he will be the one in power for the rebuilding of the 3RD TEMPLE. His Likud party came in 5TH. So I dont have a clue now how the TEMPLE can be rebuilt now before the 7 year treaty is signed, but God will bring it to pass in his way. NOT MY SPECULATIONS.

Kadima Wins Underwhelming Victory By Hillel Fendel and Ezra HaLevi

Kadima received 28 seats, significantly fewer than predicted. Only once before in Israeli history has a smaller party formed a government - in 1999 - and it lasted only 18 months. The results, after more than 99% of the votes were counted:

Kadima - 28 Knesset seats
Labor - 20
Shas - 13
Yisrael Beiteinu - 12
Likud - 11
Arab parties - 10
NU/NRP - 9
Pensioner - 7
United Torah Judaism - 6
Meretz- 4

NEXT MAJOR EVENT THE RAPTURE

THE RAPTURE!

WHAT IS A RAPTURE?

THE RAPTURE IS THE LITERAL TAKING OF OUR BODIES TO JESUS IN THE CLOUDS JUST BEFORE THE TRIBULATION OF 7 YEARS ON THE EARTH.

1 THESSALONIANS 4:13-18
13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.( NOT SCARE) NOTICE!!!!!!!!!!

1 CORINTHIANS 15:51-55
51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?

Will we know the exact minute Jesus calls us home?

MATTHEW 24:36,42
36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.

MARK 13:32-37
32 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.
33 Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.
34 For the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch.
35 Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning:
36 Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.
37 And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.

No, we will know that it is near by all the signs Jesus told us would begin to happen just before he takes us up to Heaven with him.

SO WE KNOW BY ISRAEL BECOMING A NATION AND CAPTURING JERUSALEM, THAT, THAT WAS THE BEGGINING OF THE COUNTDOWN TO THE LAST DAYS AND THE RAPTURE COULD OCCUR ANYTIME AFTER THESE TWO EVENTS AND THE BEGGINING OF ALL THE SIGNS IN MATTHEW 24, MARK 13, AND LUKE 17,21 OCCUR.

NOTICE IT EVEN SAYS THE LITERAL TIME ISRAEL WOULD BECOME A NATION. JUST BEFORE SUMMER, TREES BUD IN SPRING. HOW AWESOME GODS WORDS ARE TO US LITERALLY.

MATTHEW 24:32-34
32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.

PROPHECY FULFILLED ON MAY 14, 1948. GOD BROUGHT THE BONES OF ISRAEL TO LIFE IN HIS LAND HE GAVE TO HIS PEOPLE ISRAELIS.

BUT ONE OTHER EVENT HAD TO HAPPEN BEFORE WE KNEW THE LAST GENERATION COMES INTO EFFECT.

ISRAEL HAD TO BE IN CONTROL OF JERUSALEM.

LUKE 21:24-28
24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.(ISRAEL CAPTURES JERUSALEM ONCE AGAIN).
25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
26 Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

HOW DO I KNOW THAT THESE TWO EVENTS ARE THE BEGGINING OF THE LAST DAYS COUNTDOWN GENERATION?

Well in Daniels prophecy of Israels history it tells us, Daniel deals with his people (ISRAELIS) and their Holy City JERUSALEM.

DANIEL 9:24-27
24 Seventy weeks (70x7=490 YRS) are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks (7x7=49 YRS), and threescore and two weeks (62x7=434 YRS): the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
26 And after threescore and two weeks (434 YRS) shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.

NOTICE HERE 69 WEEKS OR 483 YRS WERE FULFILLED, BUT IT HAS TO BE 490 YRS BEFORE THE PROPHESY AND VISION CAN BE COMPLETED.

WERE IS THE LAST 7 YEARS OF THIS PROPHESY?

WELL ITS IN THE NEXT VERSE, REMEMBER DANIEL IS TALIKG TO HIS PEOPLE ISRAELIS AND THEIR HOLY CITY JERUSALEM.

27 And he (EU LEADER) shall confirm the covenant with many for one week (7x1=7 YRS): and in the midst of the week ( 3 1/2 YRS) he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease,(TEMPLE SACRIFICES IN JERUSALEM) and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

SO HERE WE SEE ISRAEL HAD TO BECOME A NATION AND IN CONTROL OF JERUSALEM, BEFORE THE FUTURE 7 YEAR CONTRACT COULD BE SIGNED BY THE EUROPEAN UNION LEADER AND ISRAEL AND MANY (ARABS ETC).

AND SINCE DANIEL IS DEALING WITH HIS PEOPLE ISRAELIS, IN THE LAST DAYS TO COMPLETE HIS PROPHECY GIVIN TO HIM BY GOD. IT HAD TO BE THAT ISRAEL IS IN CONTROL OF JERUSALEM BEFORE THIS FUTURE FINAL WEEK OR 7 YEARS COULD BE FULFILLED.

AND WHAT SIGNS WILL BE HAPPENING THAT WE WILL KNOW ITS THE LAST DAYS GENERATION AND THE RAPTURE COULD OCCUR AT ANY MOMENT?

LUKE 21:25-28
25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
26 Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

So we see here Signs in the Sun, Moon and stars. Distress of Nations. And the sea and the waves roaring, men scared to death of whats coming on the earth for the powers of the Heavens are shakin.

Ozone depletion is signs in the Sun.

1969 after Israel had a Nation (48) and in control of Jerusalem (67), the first moonwalk
occured.

Jupitar bombarded was a sign of many in the Stars.

Distress of Nations! With Mass confusion! Yes between World terrorism and the Storms (SEA AND WAVES ROARING).

Mens hearts are scared of whats coming on the Earth. And the glaciers are melting and causing water to rise around the Globe. (GLOBAL WARMING).

Are all these things not happening right now in their beggining stages, Yes they are.

More Signs JESUS told us would occur are.

MATTHEW 24:1-42
1 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.
2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? (AGE OF GRACE)
4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake.
10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.
23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
25 Behold, I have told you before.
26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
28 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
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.

We see here, Temples are being destroyed: Alabama Churches were destroyed and Happening more and more.

All kinds of cult leaders calling themselves JESUS, these days (NEW AGE MOVEMENT)(I AM)

Wars and rumours of wars everyday on the news. Nation against nation and ethnic group against Ethnic group.

Famines everyday in the news.

Pestilences (Incurable Diseases) Aids, Bird flu and many other in these last days.

Earthquakes in different places. Yes and getting greater in destruction.

These are only the Beggining of sorrows.

Israelis and Christians will be hated for Jesus name sake. Happening now, beheading becoming regular event of Muslims against Israelis and Christians.

Sin will infultrate the world, It sure is these days.

The Good news of JESUS , DEATH, BURIAL AND RESURRECTION FROM THE DEAD WILL BE TAUGHT WORLDWIDE. Thats happening, Christian ministers are getting access to people around the world (Crusades) and through the internet.

Verse 15 switches from SIGNS directly to the 3 1/2 yr mark of the Tribulation. When the abomination of the EU dictator is set up in the 3RD TEMPLE. Israelis are ordered to flee Israel and Jerusalem when this Occures. Immence tribulation it will be for Israelis and converted Christians in those days.

God shortens the daylight hours or people would be fryed from the heat. we see it coming together now the begginings of global warming.

Then it says all kinds of false prophets and christs will arise. Deceiving people with false miracles at this time during the tribulation period.

In verse 25 we see Jesus say, Behold I have told you before it happens so you will know and be prepared.

Verse 27 Jumps to the End of the 7 yr tribulation to give the SIGN of JESUS returning to EARTH BODILY. There will be a bolt of LIGHTNING from EAST TO WEST IN THE SKY. By this sign the Earths population will know JESUS is returning to Earth BODILY. EXPECT HIM.

Verse 28 says the Birds of prey will be eating dead bodies, Thats why its DARK when JESUS returns to earth from all the Nuclear weapons going off. This happens also at the end of the 7 YR tribulation as Zechariah 14:12-16 tells us.

12 And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.
13 And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from the LORD shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour.
14 And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the heathen round about shall be gathered together, gold, and silver, and apparel, in great abundance.
15 And so shall be the plague of the horse, of the mule, of the camel, and of the ass, and of all the beasts that shall be in these tents, as this plague.
16 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.

MATTHEW 24:29-31
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

Verse 32 goes back to the SIGNS, and says Israel will be reborn in the SPRING.

MATTHEW 24:32-42
32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
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.

And since Daniel tells us God deals with ISRAEL and JERUSALEM, ISRAEL HAD TO BE IN CONTROL OF JERUSALEM IN THE LAST DAYS. IT OCCURED JUST LIKE THE BIBLE SAID IT WOULD.

SO WHEN ALL THE SIGNS MENTIONED OCCUR IN CONJUNCTION WITH ISRAEL IN CONTROL OF JERUSALEM, YOU WILL KNOW THE RAPTURE CAN OCCUR AT ANY MOMENT. THIS WILL BE THE LAST GENERATION OF THE AGE OF GRACE BEFORE CHRIST RULES AND REIGNS FROM JERUSALEM FOREVER.

Verse 37 gives us final signs to look for. These happening will be WORLDWIDE like in Noahs day. And people will be caught off guard not knowing the SIGNS that are occuring on Earth.

Notice verse 38 life is going on as normal.

Verse 39 switches to the Rapture of the Church to Heaven. And 40-41 says 1 /2 of the POPULATION of EARTH die during this 7 yr contract or Daniels 70th week of years.

Verse 42 Stresses WATCH, by the SIGNS OCCURING THAT JESUS WILL BE RETURNING AT ANY MOMENT TO RAPTURE THE CHRISTIANS TO HEAVEN.

Then after the Rapture Occurs, The 70th week or 7 yr treaty is signed by the EU dictator Israel and Many.

WW3 occurs and at the end of the 7 yr treaty or tribulation period.

Jesus and the Christians return to rule and reign for 1000 years and then forever on Earth with CHRIST.

So we see all the SIGNS are in the beggining stages now true Christians, pack your bags JESUS will be coming to get us anytime NOW.

REVELATION 3:10
10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from (NOT THROUGH) the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.( 7 YR TRIBULATION).
11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

NOTICE THE CHURCH IS NOT MENTIONED AGAIN AFTER 3:17, UNTILL REVELATION CH 22, NO NEED TO MENTION THE CHURCH IF WERE IN HEAVEN WITH CHRIST.

REVELATION 4:1-4
1 After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.(AFTER THE AGE OF GRACE).
2 And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.
3 And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.
4 And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.

Like Revelation 22:20-21 SAYS COME QUICKLY LORD JESUS. WE PRAY AMEN AND AMEN IN JESUS NAME.

EU IMMIGRATION SPAIN LEADER

EU-six go it alone against smuggling and terrorists 24.03.2006 - 09:58 CET By Teresa Küchler (Eu observer)

EU interior ministers from the six biggest EU countries have agreed to step up coordination of their security services to enhance the integration of immigrants into the EU as well as to fight terrorism. Interior ministers from Spain, Italy, France, Germany, UK and Poland, or the G6 group, gathered in Heiligenddamm in Germany on Thursday (23 March) to discuss topics related to terrorism, illegal immigration and integration as well as drug trafficking and human smuggling.

At the meeting, ministers gave the green light to forming common investigation teams to clamp down on people smuggling at the EU's borders, with Spain in particular urging common efforts to put an end to the high number of illegal immigrants coming from Africa to Europe. In November and December, between 1,200 and 1,700 Africans, mostly from Sub-Saharan countries, were drowned trying to reach the Canary Islands in barely seaworthy boats, Spanish media reported.

Another Spanish proposal, to create a rapid reaction European anti-terrorist police force was also approved by the other G6 members.When set up, EU joint anti-terror police and forensic teams could be dispatched within hours to locations in EU member states where a terrorist attack has occurred.Ministers also agreed to better information-sharing on persons expelled from any of the G6 states on grounds of "activities to foment hatred between races and religions".

The wording refers explicitly to certain "preachers of hate"- Imams that have been expelled after preaching hatred against Westeners and Jews in Mosques across Europe. Immigrants to pledge Western values Proposed by French interior minister Nicolas Sarkozy, ministers also agreed to look into compulsory integration exams for foreigners. Mr Sarkozy had also suggested that EU member states demand possible immigrants to sign a "contract" that requires that they learn the language of their adopted country and accept its social norms – or risk being expelled.

"We agree that experts from our countries must examine the option of presenting an integration contract to new immigrants," German interior minister Wolfgang Schauble told reporters after the meeting in Austria, AFP reports. British interior secretary Charles Clarke said according to the Financial Times that "the values of our societies - democracy, respect for other faiths, free speech, the rule of law, free media and so on - are values which we would expect everybody wanting to settle in these countries to respect.

"Several European countries have already introduced language tests for immigrants. The Netherlands earlier this month went a step further, introducing new entry laws that require potential immigrants to take language and culture exams in order to emigrate to the country. To prepare immigrants for Dutch liberal society, possible newcomers would also have to watch a film picturing a sunbathing topless woman, gay men kissing and the immigrant "ghettos" that may await immigrants coming into the country.

RABBI CALLS FOR UN OF RELIGIONS

Rabbi calls for 'UN of religions'
By Danny Wood BBC News, Seville

Metzger spoke at the opening of the three-day conference.

The Chief Rabbi of Israel, Yona Metzger, has called for the creation of a world body with representatives from the major religious groups. Rabbi Metzger was addressing the International Congress of Imams and Rabbis for Peace in Seville, Spain. He called for the formation of a "United Nations of religious groups".

The Imam of Gaza, Imad al-Faluji, said politicians lied but religious leaders had a different objective - to work towards a higher good. The imams and rabbis at this conference, which opened on Sunday, say the world is in crisis and it is time they acted to restore justice, respect and peace.

Straight talking

The delegates have made it very clear that now is the time for concrete initiatives. At the opening ceremony Rabbi Yona Metzger said his idea of a "United Nations of religious groups" could "bring a bridge between religions to help the bridge of the diplomatic way". That plan has broad support from key participants like Frederico Major, the co-president of the Alliance for Civilisations, the lobby group for international conflict resolution, supported by the United Nations and initiated by Spain's Prime Minister, Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero.

The speeches at this conference rather than using polite, diplomatic language have at times been brutally direct. When the Rabbi Metzger harangued mainstream Muslims for not standing up to Osama bin Laden, Islamic leaders nodded in agreement. Both Muslim and Jewish leaders have shown a preparedness to take criticism.

There have also been strong expressions of opposition to any killing in the name of religion.
At the end of the opening ceremony, the Muslim delegation sang an oration to the Prophet Mohammed before resuming discussions about the ideas they plan to present to their Jewish counterparts. The religious leaders have three days to come up with a manifesto that aims to convert their words into actions.

SYRIA SWITCHES TO EURO

Syria switches to euro from dollar for its budget Syria-USA, Economics, 3/13/2006

Arabic news.com

The Syrian government is to use euros instead of US dollars in its budgets upon the decision of the US treasury that stipulates barring any transactions between American banks and the Commercial Bank of Syria. The US Treasury Department said Thursday that US banks must close any accounts they have with two Syrian banks, as part of an effort to crack down on terrorist financing. The order covers the Commercial Bank of Syria and its subsidiary, the Syrian Lebanese Commercial Bank. The Syrian government's said the decision is to protect its export, import and services payments, and to protect the national economy. Syria has switched all of the state's foreign currency transactions to euros from dollars upon political confrontations with the United States, the head of state-owned Commercial Bank of Syria, Duraid Durgham said. Durgham said, adding that this decision is important and necessary at a moment when the Americans are threatening Syria in a way that could complicate banking operations between Syria and European countries.

This decision represents the strong Syrian relation with the European Union, that is considered the first commercial partner to Syria, he said. The United States has been leading international pressure on Syria for its alleged role in the assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafiq al-Hariri and aiding the crisis in Iraq which Syria denies.Syria has been under US sanctions since May 2004, meaning it can not import American products other than food and medication. Syria surprised world financial markets when it announced that it would stop dealing in dollars in all official institutions and in import-export contracts replacing them with euros in case the US intensifies sanctions on Damascus. Euros are also to be used in paying back sums owed by state institutions to foreign parties.

Minister of Finance Mohammad al-Hussein said that this action comes in the framework of continuing pressure on Syria for political considerations, adding that Syria was not surprised by the American treasury decision. Hussein added that the Central Bank of Syria, as any government bank, is implementing international laws against money laundry and support of terrorism. He pointed out that all Iraqi government accounts were transferred to Iraq last September according to an Iraqi-Syrian understanding memorandum.

Hussein asserted that the Syrian Central Bank will continue in its transactions with its international partners and clients, adding that the bank is supported by the government. Syrian governmental sources said that this decision is an attempt "to keep the Syrian economy from being at the mercy of the American dollar," as American laws stipulate that any conversion into dollars must go through the American banking system. US threats against Syria would result in complicating the banking transactions and the transfer operations into the country from corresponding international banks in Europe.

Arab central banks move assets out of dollar
By Philip Thornton, Economics Correspondent
Published: 14 March 2006

Middle Eastern anger over the decision by the US to block a Dubai company from buying five of its ports hit the dollar yesterday as a number of central banks said they were considering switching reserves into euros. The United Arab Emirates, which includes Dubai, said it was looking to move one-tenth of its dollar reserves into euros, while the governor of the Saudi Arabian central bank condemned the US move as "discrimination".

Separately, Syria responded to US sanctions against two of its banks by confirming plans to use euros instead of dollars for its external transactions. The remarks combined to knock the dollar, which fell against the euro, pound and yen yesterday as analysts warned other central banks might follow suit. Last week the US caused dismay after political opposition to the takeover of P&O by Dubai Ports World forced DPW to agree to transfer P&O's US port management business to a "US entity" .

The governor of the UAE central bank, Sultan Nasser al-Suweidi, said the bank was looking to convert 10 per cent of its reserves, which stand at $23bn (£13.5bn), from dollars to euros. "They are contravening their own principles," he said. "Investors are going to take this into consideration [and] will look at investment opportunities through new binoculars." Hamad Saud al-Sayyari, the governor of the Saudi Arabian monetary authority, said: "Is it protection or discrimination? Is it okay for US companies to buy everywhere but it is not okay for other companies to buy the US?"

Syria has switched the state's foreign currency transactions to euros from dollars, the head of the state-owned Commercial Bank of Syria, Duraid Durgham, said. Last week the White House told US financial institutions to terminate all correspondent accounts involving the Commercial Bank of Syria because of money-laundering concerns. Mohammad al-Hussein, Syria's finance minister, said: "Syria affirms that this decision and its timing are fundamentally political."
The euro rose a quarter of one percentage point against the dollar to a one-week high of $1.1945, although it retreated in later trading.

WORLD COUNCIL OF CHURCHES AGAINST ISRAEL

Well the false Church is coming together against Israel. Christians involved in the WCC want Israeli occupation ended and a peace deal reached.

I say to the WCC, Israel was promised that and way more land by God, use better get the same Bible I have. No wonder in the future this false Church will be close to the EU. The False dictator politician comes from the EU and the False Pope will head the WCC from the Vatican in the future. These to people will be murdering true Christians. So if your involved with the WCC
get out while you can, Its the Whore of Revelation 17.

The Bible says there would be a Single world Church come together after the Rapture of the true Church to Heaven. It will be a False Religous system, no Jesus involved, anything goes will be the name of this Religous whore of Babylon.

GET READY WORLD THE WCC WILL START HAVING INFLUENCE FROM NOW ON IN WATCH!!!!!!!!!!!

REVELATION 17:1-18
1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:(WCC IN THE VATICAN)
2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.
3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
7 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.
8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.
11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.
15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

One last thing WCC Like this says THE EU POLITICIAN will NUKE THE VATICAN AT THE MIDPOINT OF THE TRIBULATION PERIOD OR 7 YR PEACE TREATY. THE EU WORLD DICTATOR WILL RIDE THE CHURCH TO POWER THEN BOMB IT, FOR BEING TO STRONG.

World Council of Churches call for end of illegal Israeli occupationPalestine-Israel, Politics, 3/10/2006 MIDEAST NEWS LINE

The World Council of Churches called on Israel to quit its illegal occupation of the Palestinians, and asked that for effort to establish peace. The World Council of Churches (WCC) (http://www.wcc-coe.org/) which describes itself as "the broadest and most inclusive among the many organized expressions of the modern ecumenical movement, a movement whose goal is Christian unity.

The WCC brings together more than 340 churches, denominations and church fellowships in over 100 countries and territories throughout the world, representing some 550 million Christians."The group said this week: church groups in a dozen countries and members of the International Pax Christi and Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA) networks will participate in a joint advocacy initiative for peace in Palestine and Israel convened by the World Council of Churches (WCC). From Oslo to Cape Town, from Toronto to Jerusalem, concerned groups will lobby parliamentarians, hold public meetings, observe vigils and plant olive trees.

Activities will signal to policy-makers and public audiences the churches' conviction that a just and equitable resolution of the conflict is now more urgent than ever. The initiative has been supported by a message from patriarchs and heads of churches in Jerusalem calling Christians around the world to join in the week of March 12-19 "to make a public witness for peace." "Now as the situation continues to deteriorate and opportunities for peace are forsaken it is crucial for Christians to make their voices heard vigorously in the public arena," the message says.

The council said last month "Today one year away from the 40th anniversary of the illegal Israeli Occupation of Palestine we renew our call and urge you to actively participate in the worldwide week of Christian advocacy for a just peace."During the last 39 years Churches, Church Leaders and ordinary Christians have worked tirelessly and patiently advocating
for Peace in Palestine and Israel. Now as the situation continues to deteriorate and opportunities for peace are forsaken it is crucial for Christians to make their voices heard vigorously in the public arena. Together with the strong and deeply treasured actions of prayer and Christian solidarity, the churches in Jerusalem and the Holy Land need you to speak with the moral
authority of the church from the ethical perspective of the Christian faith. Lawmakers and politicians in your country need to know that the Churches are well aware of the on-going suffering caused by the Occupation and the subsequent insecurity and are becoming even more actively involved in seeking a just peace.

All national governments have a responsibility to uphold international law and Christians have a role in holding our governments to account."We ask all Christians to consider the prophetic role of the Church and the power and importance of public witness so that the sufferings, injustices and insecurity of the Occupation which affects Israelis and Palestinians—be they Christian, Muslims or Jews—becomes an urgent priority for all national governments."The positive attention given to the unilateral pullout from the Gaza strip has served to draw world attention away from the realities on the West Bank and East Jerusalem.

There is a steady expansion of Israeli military control. Settler blocks continue to grow and land is illegally seized to build a wall which has been condemned internationally. West Bank cities are being choked to death economically and the people live in constant fear of military incursions. The security situation within the Palestinian Territories is in crisis and the Palestinian Authority must be supported in its efforts to impose the rule of law and at the same time be held accountable in fulfilling their responsibilities.

"The price of Occupation is unbearably high for those living in Israeli as well. The country is dominated by insecurity, fear and poverty at the same time social inequalities spiral out of control."Palestinian Christians face the same struggles and suffer the same desperate situation as all other Palestinians but we also face an alarming rate of migration out of Palestine. The Christian presence in Palestine is important for the whole society and we are concerned for the future of our community and for the institutions that serve all Palestinians.

"The same solution is required to end the suffering both in Israel and Palestine: A just peace reached through negotiations guided by international law. An end to the illegal Occupation is the first step towards real peace and security for both Israel and Palestine. Peace, Justice and Security for Palestine will bring Peace, Justice and Security for Israel", the World Council
of Churches said.

ELECTRO MAGNETIC PULSE BOMB

I THINK RUSSIA WILL SET THIS OFF ABOVE AMERICA JUST BEFORE THEY NUKE THEM IN THE FUTURE. We see in Revelation 18 the ways of wars are stopped up.

REVELATION 18:1-8,18-21
1 And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.
2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon (USA) the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.
6 Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.
7 How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.
8 Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.
18 And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!
19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.
20 Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.
21 And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon (USA) be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.

THERES NO DOUBT AMERICA IS NUCLEAR BOMBED HERE BY RUSSIA. BUT I THINK THEY FIRST WILL USE THE EMP TO CRIPPLE AMERICA BEFORE THEY ATTACK.

SO HOW WOULD AN EMP ATTACK WORK?

First a single low yield nuclear weapon would be detonated at a high altitude above the USA. This would send a surge of electro magnetic waves down to the earths surface. These EMPs could potencially take out Americas power grid. This would wreak havok on the countries electronic systems and plunge much, if not all of the continental USA into a pre industrial state.
Americans would be left with no electricity, no heat, no running water, no working computers or telephones. Cars, trains and airplanes would be unable to operate. Water sanitation would be slow and difficult. And food would spoil due to lack of refrigeration. These conditions could last for several months, or even longer.

All this could be carried out with a single nuclear armed scud missle. Fired from a freighter off the shores of the USA. Its no wonder Americas enemies are well aware of EMP. This would block the military from communicating without killing anyone. Then the Enemy RUSSIA I believe will Nuke America while crippled by EMP.

Electro-magnetic Pulse (EMP) Systems

"Russia is among the best in the world when it comes to manufacturing this type of electronic weapon," said Anders Kallenaas of the Swedish National Defense's Research Institute (FOA).
Quoting the Swedish newspaper Svenska Dagbladet (1-23-98), the news agency AFP said the high-power microwave bombs ("bear cans") could be bought on the Russian market for "several hundreds of thousands kronor" (< $150,000) and had already been bought by the Australian military among others.
It said the bomb was stored in a briefcase and emitted short, high-energy pulses reaching 10 gigawatts, which could destroy complex electronics systems. As tested, the bomb presents a threat to the Swedish military, in particular to the JAS 39 Gripen jet fighter that it is trying to export. It can also knock out electronic systems of nuclear or electric power plants, banks, trains, or even a simple telephone switchboard.

Despite the science-fiction flavor, the electro-magnetic bomb is close to reality. It has been the subject of extensive research in the US and presumably (Sakharov tested his magnetic compression generator 40 years ago + Altshuler, Voitenko and Bichenkov ) Russia for decades. The concept arose through early nuclear testing when scientists realized that high altitude atomic blasts produced an electro-magnetic pulse capable of destroying delicate electronics systems on the ground.

Any thermonuclear war would have started with such ionospheric blasts. One consequence was that military computer and electronic systems were "hardened" to minimize such damage, but civil systems remain vulnerable. Two types of non-nuclear EMP devices have been developed. One uses conventional explosives to induce the EMP; another uses a single-use, high-power microwave generation device.

EMP capabilities were discussed in a paper published by the RAAF Air Power Studies Center in 1996. Its author, defense analyst Carlo Copp, [1] concluded that the design and deployment of electro-magnetic warheads for bombs and missiles was technically feasible in the next decade. "Providing that satisfactory solutions can be found for these problems, electro-magnetic munitions for bomb and missile applications promise to be an important and robust weapon in both strategic and tactical operations, offering significantly reduced collateral damage and lower human casualties than established weapons," he said.

"High Power Electro-magnetic Pulse generation techniques and High Power Microwave technology have matured to the point where practical E-bombs (Electro-magnetic bombs) are becoming technically feasible, with new applications in both Strategic and Tactical Information Warfare. The development of conventional E-bomb devices allows their use in non-nuclear confrontations. This paper discusses aspects of the technology base, weapon delivery techniques and proposes a doctrinal foundation for the use of such devices in warhead and bomb applications."

It can be used by special forces teams who infiltrate the enemy's and detonate a device near their electronic devices. It destroys the electronics of all computer and communication systems in a quite large area. The EMP bomb can be smaller than a HERF gun to cause a similar amount of damage and is typically used to damage not a single target (not aiming in one direction) but to damage all equipment near the bomb.
[2] The efficient execution of an Information Warfare campaign against a modern industrial or post-industrial opponent will require the use of specialized tools designed to destroy information systems. High Power Electro-magnetic Pulse generation techniques and High Power Microwave technology have matured to the point where practical electro-magnetic bombs are becoming technically feasible, with new applications in both Strategic and Tactical IW (Information Warfare).

Targets of the E-bombs:

The telecommunication systems
The national power grid
Finance and banking systems
The national transporting systems
The mass media Because these systems based on electronic systems.

A Radio Frequency Weapon is one that uses intense pulses of RF energy to destroy or degrade the electronics in a target. These weapons can be employed in a narrow beam over a long distance to a point target. They are categorized as High Power Microwave Weapons (HPM) and Ultra Wide Band Weapon (UWB). The phrase non-nuclear electro-magnetic pulse is sometimes used.

Advantages of the HPM:

All weather
Low cost per engagement Possible to engage multiple targets Non-lethal to humans
Not able to detect attacks
Electro-magnetic effects

The high temperatures and energetic radiation produced by nuclear explosions also produce large amounts of ionized (electrically charged) matter which is present immediately after the explosion. Under the right conditions, intense currents and electro-magnetic fields can be produced, generically called EMP (Electro-magnetic Pulse), that are felt at long distances. Living organisms are impervious to these effects, but electrical and electronic equipment can be temporarily or permanently disabled by them. Ionized gases can also block short wavelength radio and radar signals (fireball blackout) for extended periods.

The occurrence of EMP is strongly dependent on the altitude of burst. It can be significant for surface or low altitude bursts (below 4,000 m); it is very significant for high altitude bursts (above 30,000 m); but it is not significant for altitudes between these extremes. This is because EMP is generated by the asymmetric absorption of instantaneous gamma rays produced by the explosion. At intermediate altitudes the air absorbs these rays fairly uniformly and does not generate long range electro-magnetic disturbances.

Figure 1. Typical electro-magnetic pulse

The formation EMP begins with the very intense, but very short burst of gamma rays caused by the nuclear reactions in the bomb. About 0.3% of the bomb's energy is in this pulse, but it last for only 10 nanoseconds or so. These gamma rays collide with electrons in air molecules, and eject the electrons at high energies through a process called Compton scattering. These energetic electrons in turn knock other electrons loose, and create a cascade effect that produces some 30,000 electrons for every original gamma ray.

In low altitude explosions the electrons, being very light, move much more quickly than the ionized atoms they are removed from and diffuse away from the region where they are formed. This creates a very strong electric field which peaks in intensity to 10 nanoseconds. The gamma rays emitted downward however are absorbed by the ground which prevents charge separation from occurring. This creates a very strong vertical electric current which generates intense electro-magnetic emissions over a wide frequency range (up to 100 MHZ) that emanate mostly horizontally. At the same time, the earth acts as a conductor allowing the electrons to flow back toward the burst point where the positive ions are concentrated. This produces a strong magnetic field along the ground. Although only about 3x10^-10 of the total explosion energy is radiated as EMP in a ground burst (10^6 joules for 1 Mt bomb), it is concentrated in a very short pulse. The charge separation persists for only a few tens of microseconds, making the emission power some 100 gigawatts. The field strengths for ground bursts are high only in the immediate vicinity of the explosion. For smaller bombs they aren't very important because they are strong only where the destruction is intense anyway. With increasing yields, they reach farther from the zone of intense destruction. With a 1 Mt bomb, they remain significant out to the 2 psi overpressure zone (5 miles).

High altitude explosions produce EMPs that dramatically more destructive. About 3x10^-5 of the bomb's total energy goes into EMP in this case, 10^11 joules for a 1 Mt bomb. EMP is formed in high altitude explosions when the downwardly directed gamma rays encounter denser layers of air below. A pancake shaped ionization region is formed below the bomb. The zone can extend all the way to the horizon, to 2500 km for an explosion at an altitude of 500 km. The ionization zone is up to 80 km thick at the center. The Earth's magnetic field causes the electrons in this layer to spiral as they travel, creating a powerful downward directed electro-magnetic pulse lasting a few microseconds. A strong vertical electrical field (20-50 KV/m) is also generated between the Earth's surface and the ionized layer, this field lasts for several minutes until the electrons are recaptured by the air. Although the peak EMP field strengths from high altitude bursts are only 1-10% as intense as the peak ground burst fields, they are nearly constant over the entire Earth's surface under the ionized region.

The effects of these field on electronics is difficult to predict, but can be profound. Enormous induced electric currents are generated in wires, antennas, and metal objects (like missiles, airplanes, and building frames). Commercial electrical grids are immense EMP antennas and would be subjected to voltage surges far exceeding those created by lightning, and over vastly greater areas. Modern VLSI chips are extremely sensitive to voltage surges, and would be burned out by even small leakage currents. Military equipment is generally designed to be resistant to EMP, but realistic tests are very difficult to perform and EMP protection rests on attention to detail. Minor changes in design, incorrect maintenance procedures, poorly fitting parts, loose debris, moisture, and ordinary dirt can all cause elaborate EMP protections to be totally circumvented. It can be expected that a single high yield, high altitude explosion over an industrialized area would cause massive disruption for an indeterminable period, and would cause huge economic damages (all those damaged chips add up).

A separate effect is the ability of the ionized fireball to block radio and radar signals. Like EMP, this effect becomes important with high altitude bursts. Fireball blackout can cause radar to be blocked for tens of seconds to minutes over an area tens of kilometers across. High frequency radio can be disrupted over hundreds to thousands of kilometers for minutes to hours depending on exact conditions.

The technology base for E-bombs

Explosively Pumped Flux Compression Generators (FCG)
The central idea behind the construction of FCGs is that of using a fast explosive to rapidly compress a magnetic field, transferring much energy from the explosive into the magnetic field. The initial magnetic field in the FCG prior to explosive initiation is produced by a start current. The start current is supplied by an external source, such a a high voltage capacitor bank (Marx bank), a smaller FCG or the MHD device. A number of geometrical configurations for FCGs have been published. The most commonly used arrangement is that of the coaxial FCG

Figure 2. Explosively pumped coaxial magnetic flux compressors

The coaxial arrangement is of particular interest in this context, as its essentially cylindrical form factor lends itself to packaging into munitions. In principle, any device capable of producing a pulse of electrical current of the order of tens of kiloAmperes to MegaAmperes will be suitable.

Explosive and Propellant driven MHD Generators

The fundamental principle behind the design of MHD devices is that a conductor moving through a magnetic field will produce an electrical current transverse to the direction of the field and the conductor motion. In an explosive or propellant driven MHD device, the conductor is a plasma of ionized explosive or propellant gas, which travels through the magnetic field. Current is collected by electrodes which are in contact with the plasma jet. The electrical properties of the plasma are optimized by seeding the explosive or propellant with suitable additives, which ionize during the burn.

High Power Microwave Sources (Vircator)

The fundamental idea behind the Vircator is that of accelerating a high current electron beam against a mesh (or foil) anode. Many electrons will pass through the anode, forming a bubble of space charge behind the anode. Under the proper conditions, this space charge region will oscillate at microwave frequencies. If the space charge region is placed into a resonant cavity which is appropriately tuned, very high peak powers may be achieved.

Coupling modes

The major problem area in determining lethality is that of coupling efficiency, which is a measure of how much power is transferred from the field produced by the weapon into the target.

Front door coupling occurs typically when power from a electro-magnetic weapon is coupled into an antenna associated with radar or communications equipment. The antenna subsystem is designed to couple power in and out of the equipment.

Back Door Coupling occurs when the electro-magnetic field from a weapon produces large transient currents or electrical standing waves (when produced by a HPM weapon) on fixed electrical wiring and cables interconnecting equipment, or providing connections to mains power or the telephone network.

A low frequency bomb built around an FCG will require a large antenna to provide good coupling of power from the weapon into the surrounding environment. Whilst weapons built this way are inherently wide band, as most of the power produced lies in the frequency band below 1 MHz compact antennas are not an option.

Microwave bombs have a broader range of coupling modes and given the small wavelength in comparison with bomb dimensions, can be readily focussed against targets with a compact antenna assembly.

The importance of glide-bombs as delivery means for HPM warheads is threefold. Firstly, the glide-bomb can be released from outside effective radius of target air defenses, therefore minimizing the risk to the launch aircraft. Secondly, the large standoff range means that the aircraft can remain well clear of the bomb's effects. Finally the bomb's autopilot may be programmed to shape the terminal trajectory of the weapon, such that a target may be engaged from the most suitable altitude and aspect.

Targeting Electro-magnetic BombsThe task of identifying targets for attack with electro-magnetic bombs can be complex. Certain categories of target will be very easy to identify and engage. Buildings housing government offices and thus computer equipment, production facilities, military bases and known radar sites and communications nodes are all targets which can be readily identified through conventional photographic, satellite, imaging radar, electronic reconnaissance and humint operations. These targets are typically geographically fixed and thus may be attacked providing that the aircraft can penetrate to weapon release range. With the accuracy inherent in GPS/inertially guided weapons, the electro-magnetic bomb can be programmed to detonate at the optimal position to inflict a maximum of electrical damage.

Figure 3. Lethal footprint of low frequency E-bomb in relation

Mobile and camouflaged targets which radiate overtly can also be readily engaged. Mobile and relocatable air defense equipment, mobile communications nodes and naval vessels are all good examples of this category of target. While radiating, their positions can be precisely tracked with suitable Electronic Support Measures (ESM) and Emitter Locating Systems (ELS) carried either by the launch platform or a remote surveillance platform. In the latter instance target coordinates can be continuously data-linked to the launch platform. As most such targets move relatively slowly, they are unlikely to escape the footprint of the electro-magnetic bomb during the weapon's flight time.

Mobile or hidden targets which do not overtly radiate may present a problem, particularly should conventional means of targeting be employed. A technical solution to this problem does however exist, for many types of target. This solution is the detection and tracking of Unintentional Emission (UE). UE has attracted most attention in the context of TEMPEST surveillance, where transient emanations leaking out from equipment due poor shielding can be detected and in many instances demodulated to recover useful intelligence. Termed Van Eck radiation, such emissions can only be suppressed by rigorous shielding and emission control techniques, such as are employed in TEMPEST rated equipment.

Whilst the demodulation of UE can be a technically difficult task to perform well, in the context of targeting electro-magnetic bombs this problem does not arise. To target such an emitter for attack requires only the ability to identify the type of emission and thus target type, and to isolate its position with sufficient accuracy to deliver the bomb. Because the emissions from computer monitors, peripherals, processor equipment, switch-mode power supplies, electrical motors, internal combustion engine ignition systems, variable duty cycle electrical power controllers (thyristor or triac based), super-heterodyne receiver local oscillators and computer networking cables are all distinct in their frequencies and modulations, a suitable Emitter Locating System can be designed to detect, identify and track such sources of emission.
A good precedent for this targeting paradigm exists. During the SEA (Vietnam) conflict the United States Air Force (USAF) operated a number of night inter-diction gun-ships which used direction finding receivers to track the emissions from vehicle ignition systems. Once a truck was identified and tracked, the gun-ship would engage it.

Figure 4. GPS Guided bombs (glide-bomb kits)

Because UE occurs at relatively low power levels, the use of this detection method prior to the outbreak of hostilities can be difficult, as it may be necessary to over-fly hostile territory to find signals of usable intensity. The use of stealthy reconnaissance aircraft or long range, stealthy Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) may be required. The latter also raises the possibility of autonomous electro-magnetic warhead armed expendable UAVs, fitted with appropriate homing receivers. These would be programmed to loiter in a target area until a suitable emitter is detected, upon which the UAV would home in and expend itself against the target.

Defense against E-bombs

The most effective defense against electro-magnetic bombs is to prevent their delivery by destroying the launch platform or delivery vehicle, as is the case with nuclear weapons. This however may not always be possible, and therefore systems which can be expected to suffer exposure to the electro-magnetic weapons effects must be electro-magnetically hardened.
The most effective method is to wholly contain the equipment in an electrically conductive enclosure, termed a Faraday cage, which prevents the electro-magnetic field from gaining access to the protected equipment. However, most such equipment must communicate with and be fed with power from the outside world, and this can provide entry points via which electrical transients may enter the enclosure and effect damage. While optical fibers address this requirement for transferring data in and out, electrical power feeds remain an ongoing vulnerability.

Where an electrically conductive channel must enter the enclosure, electro-magnetic arresting devices must be fitted. A range of devices exist, however care must be taken in determining their parameters to ensure that they can deal with the rise time and strength of electrical transients produced by electro-magnetic devices. Reports from the US indicate that hardening measures attuned to the behavior of nuclear EMP bombs do not perform well when dealing with some conventional microwave electro-magnetic device designs.

It is significant that hardening of systems must be carried out at a system level, as electro-magnetic damage to any single element of a complex system could inhibit the function of the whole system. Hardening new build equipment and systems will add a substantial cost burden. Older equipment and systems may be impossible to harden properly and may require complete replacement. In simple terms, hardening by design is significantly easier than attempting to harden existing equipment.

Intermittent faults may not be possible to repair economically, thereby causing equipment in this state to be removed from service permanently, with considerable loss in maintenance hours during damage diagnosis. This factor must also be considered when assessing the hardness of equipment against electro-magnetic attack, as partial or incomplete hardening may in this fashion cause more difficulties than it would solve. Indeed, shielding which is incomplete may resonate when excited by radiation and thus contribute to damage inflicted upon the equipment contained within it.

Other than hardening against attack, facilities which are concealed should not radiate readily detectable emissions. Where radio frequency communications must be used, low probability of intercept (i.e.. spread spectrum) techniques should be employed exclusively to preclude the use of site emissions for electro-magnetic targeting purposes. Appropriate suppression of UE is also mandatory.

Figure 5. Computer room hardened against EM attack

Communications networks for voice, data and services should employ topologies with sufficient redundancy and failover mechanisms to allow operation with multiple nodes and links inoperative. This will deny a user of electro-magnetic bombs the option of disabling large portions if not the whole of the network by taking down one or more key nodes or links with a single or small number of attacks.

Virtual prototyping of RF weapons
Complex and expensive experimental efforts are more timely and cost-effective if they are tested by theoretical and computational modeling. Such computations are made tractable by viewing the device as a system consisting of a pulsed power source, microwave source, and an antenna.

Electro-magnetic bombs are Weapons of Electronical Mass Destruction with applications across a broad spectrum of targets, spanning both the strategic and tactical. As such their use offers a very high payoff in attacking the fundamental information processing and communication facilities of a target system. The massed application of these weapons will produce substantial paralysis in any target system, thus providing a decisive advantage in the conduct of Electronic Combat, Offensive Counter Air and Strategic Air Attack.

Because E-bombs can cause hard electrical kills over larger areas than conventional explosive weapons of similar mass, they offer substantial economies in force size for a given level of inflicted damage, and are thus a potent force multiplier for appropriate target sets.

Conclusions

Electro-magnetic bombs are Weapons of Electronical Mass Destruction with applications across a broad spectrum of targets, spanning both the strategic and tactical. As such their use offers a very high payoff in attacking the fundamental information processing and communication facilities of a target system. The massed application of these weapons will produce substantial paralysis in any target system, thus providing a decisive advantage in the conduct of Electronic Combat, Offensive Counter Air and Strategic Air Attack.

Because E-bombs can cause hard electrical kills over larger areas than conventional explosive weapons of similar mass, they offer substantial economies in force size for a given level of inflicted damage, and are thus a potent force multiplier for appropriate target sets.
The non-lethal nature of electro-magnetic weapons makes their use far less politically damaging than that of conventional munitions, and therefore broadens the range of military options available.

This paper has included a discussion of the technical, operational and targeting aspects of using such weapons, as no historical experience exists as yet upon which to build a doctrinal model. The immaturity of this weapons technology limits the scope of this discussion, and many potential areas of application have intentionally not been discussed. The ongoing technological evolution of this family of weapons will clarify the relationship between weapon size and lethality, thus producing further applications and areas for study.

E-bombs can be an affordable force multiplier for military forces which are under post Cold War pressures to reduce force sizes, increasing both their combat potential and political utility in resolving disputes. Given the potentially high payoff deriving from the use of these devices, it is incumbent upon such military forces to appreciate both the offensive and defensive implications of this technology. It is also incumbent upon governments and private industry to consider the implications of the proliferation of this technology, and take measures to safeguard their vital assets from possible future attack. Those who choose not to may become losers in any future wars.

NATOS RAPID REACTION FORCE

If this is the future EU ARMY coming together, we see how fierce of a Rapid reaction force it will be. IT WILL BE BRUTAL!!

REVELATION 19:19 SAYS
19 And I saw the beast,(EU DICTATOR) and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.

DANIEL 2:40-43
40 And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things: and as iron that breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise.
41 And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay.
42 And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.
43 And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.

DANIEL 7:23
23 Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.

Yes it is a Rapid reaction force that the EU will have, wither via NATO or their own Army, it will be fast and swift the Bible says. This army in the future destroys the Muslims, Chinese, trys to nuke God when he returns to earth, but that fails and no more EU or NATO RAPID REACTION FORCE AFTER THAT. JESUS DESTROYS THE ARMIES AT HIS RETURN TO EARTH.

JOEL 3:2
2 I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.

ZECHARIAH 14:12
12 And this shall be the plague where with the LORD will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth. (NUCLEAR BOMBS)

REVELATION 19:11-21
11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;
18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.
19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.
20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
21 And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.

Commander: NATO Reaction Force Needs More Contributions

http://enews.voanews.com/t?ctl=1140B7F:1F9CF4C Official says contributions to force are 25 percent below commitments Gen. James Jones meets with reporters at Pentagon, March 6, 2006. The commander of NATO forces says member nations are 25 percent short in their commitments for the alliances' Reaction Force, which is supposed to be fully operational by
October. That statement indicates no change from what U.S. officials were saying before a NATO defense ministers'meeting last month. General James Jones says he is the one who has the responsibility of declaring on October first that the Reaction Force is operational. And as of now he is not sure whether he will be able to do that.

"The NATO response force has gone through a number of milestones thus far and met each one. But this one is a little bit more at risk than I would like, to be perfectly honest. At this point, we have not generated the force in sufficient numbers for me to be comfortable in standing up here and saying we will be successful," he said. Based on what officials were saying a month ago, there has not been any progress toward filling the NATO Reaction Force's requirements. This to some extent reflects the situation in other NATO projects, with member nations willing to promise to
help but slow to spend the money required and commit the troops and other military resources.
"There is great political will to do more, but unfortunately the other side of that coin is that we haven't seen an equal political will to resource more. And that has to be corrected. When NATO decides to do something, and it really wants to do something, it'll generally come together. But you have to go through that process of getting the political will to instruct the military component," he said.

General Jones says the Reaction Force is an important part of NATO's expansion beyond its traditional domain in Europe. He notes that the organization now has small operations in Iraq and Sudan, in addition to its large and expanding force in Afghanistan. But he says as NATO continues to re-define itself for the 21st Century, and looks to expand its influence well
beyond Europe, the Reaction Force is particularly important.

"The very important aspect of the NATO response force is that it is a force that can be task-organized and tailored to meet the specifics of each mission, ranging from disaster relief and humanitarian operations all the way to the higher end of things, forcible entry operations," he said. General Jones notes that in addition to the October target date for the Reaction Force, NATO plans to take over security operations throughout Afghanistan by the end of the year, and alliance leaders may decide on a further expansion of the alliance at their summit in November. All that is going on while NATO works to change the way it is organized, and the way its operations are financed. General Jones says 2006 could well be the most important year for NATO since it was founded in 1949.

CLONING GOD

I dont like this Story, but humans will be cloned the Bible says that the EU WORLD POLITICIAN will set up an Image of himself in the rebuilt 3RD TEMPLE in JERUSALEM and if you will not worship him he will have you killed (Beheaded).

Revelation 13:11-15
11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth;(FALSE VATICAN POPE) and he had two horns like a lamb,(CHRISTIANITY) and he spake as a dragon.(SATAN)
12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him (EU WORLD POLITICIAN), and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.

So here we see the Future Vatican False Pope setting up the Image or clone of the EU world Dictator in the rebuilt 3RD TEMPLE. This takes place at the Midpoint of the future 7 year peace treaty of Daniel 9:27.

I must add here the scripture quoted in the opening paragraph of this article is after the 7 yr treaty and when Jesus rules on Earth for the 1000 years, then after that, at the end of the 1000 yr reign of Christ on Earth, Satan is let loose from the pit to test all the people born during the 1000 year Reign of Christ. Many will rebel against Jesus with Satans influence, but fire comes from heaven and destroys the last of earths sinners.

Humans to decipher the DNA of God and clone another Christ 08.02.2006 Source: URL: http://english.pravda.ru/society/anomal/75627-God-0

Cloning may help terrible prophecies come true: another Christ or antichrist It seems that one of the prophecies made by St. John the Baptist is coming true. “When the thousand years are completed, Satan will be released from his prison, and will come out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth.” And this has nothing to do with mysticism. Researchers say they would like to clone Christ. But with this good intention they on the contrary may get an antichrist. Famous chemist Alan Adler who studied samples of the shroud of Turin, the legendary burial cloth into which Jesus Christ was wrapped after crucifixion, made a sensational statement not long ago.

The researcher said there was blood on the shroud and it was shed by a man who died a violent death. The University of Texas Center for Advanced DNA Technologies, USA, analyzed the DNA of the bloodstains. Head of the Center Victor Tryon confirmed that was human genetic material. It was divided into several samples and sent to different laboratories for further analysis. No results of the research have been published yet but there are certainly some. Dr. Leoncio A. Garza-Valdes, one of the few researchers allowed to touch the shroud of Turin is working on his book that will have a shocking name, The DNA of God. The very abbreviation DNA seemed to be rather common for majority of people a couple of years ago. But today it is a serious cause for anxiety. Indeed, DNA gives researchers an opportunity to produce clones, a copy of any creature whose DNA is available for experiments.

Experiments of this type have been already made public: Dolly the sheep became an absolute
cloned copy of a sheep whose genetic material, DNA, was available. Soon, it became clear that cloning humans was also possible. Professor Richard Seed declared he would solve the human
cloning problem by the end of the millennium. He said he was seeking a fitting candidate for cloning. Finally, researchers supposed that blood found on the shroud of Turin might be used as genetic material for cloning. Last year, in an interview to The Time Dr. Leoncio A. Garza-Valdes summed up the decade-long dispute about the authenticity of the shroud of Turin. The researcher said he had no doubts that the shroud of Turin had been Christ’ burial cloth
and that it was his blood that stained the cloth.

In 1988, three laboratories from England, Switzerland and the US conducted a radiocarbon analysis and made a conclusion that the fabric of which the shroud was made was produced in the 14th century. In other words, the laboratories stated the shroud was a fake. And it was just recently that the erroneous conclusions were disproved. Russian researchers removed the
cause of the doubts. Russia’s Doctor of chemistry Dmitry Kuznetsov conducted several experiments to persuade his colleagues that they were mistaken when determined the cloth dated back to the 14th century. He said the results of the radiocarbon analysis were distorted with excessive carbon that the fabric absorbed during a fire that the shroud had stood. He stated that in fact the shroud was older than traditionally believed and was at least 2,000 years old. Not so long ago, the Pope who is known for his absolute honesty also answered ‘Yes’ to the question if the shroud was genuine or not.

Some of the prophecies of the past sound particularly mysterious today. It was predicted that there would be another coming of Christ. At the same time it is known there was a prediction telling that an antichrist in the appearance of Christ and in his flesh would come too. In other words, this antichrist may be a fake double of Christ. And this may actually happen thanks to
cloning. The prophecy says the antichrist will first of all kill two witnesses of his appearance. Researchers who decided to clone Christ are highly likely to fall the first victims of the antichrist. And then, the usurper and impostor under the guise of Christ, “the man of sin” will personify the absolute negation of God’s commandments and set nations on to deadly fights.

John the Baptist associated coming of an antichrist with the Number of the Beast: “ Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast : for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.” It was for a long period of time that the rebus was a mystery for people. Some even believed a man would come with the Number of the Beast, 666,
written on his head. Today, researchers suppose that the Number of the Beast may be somehow connected with the genetic code indicated in figures. The number 666 may be the sequence of DNA genetic signals or DNA fragments necessary for successful cloning. It is a proven fact that the image of a human body on the shroud is not a fake. No significant trace of ink, dye or paint has been discovered on the cloth. What is more, it is not clear how the image in the form of a photographic negative appeared at all.

Physics Doctor John Jackson from the US Air Force Academy and the head of the Shroud of Turin Research Project says the fibers of the image were charred to the depth of 15 micron only and just from one side. He adds that hard X-radiation may produce a similar effect. And it is a great mystery what could probably be the source of such strong radiation two thousand of
years ago. There are many things about the shroud that would prove that it was the burial cloth of Christ, such as a Roman coin over the both eyes minted between 29 to 33 AD. The Wounds are consistent with the Gospel account of Christ's ordeal. A) Crown of thorns. B) Bruising of face. C) Shoulder abrasions D) Knee abrasions E) scourage marks F) nail wounds in hands and feet G) wound in side. H ) Legs NOT broken ! People who doubt that the shroud is authentic suppose that probably some hoaxer used the Gospel account of Christ’ sufferings to draw the image on the shroud. And made some mistakes at that.

A hole on one of the palms of the image on the shroud allegedly made with a nail evoked much suspicion. It was thought that crucified people had their wrists nailed otherwise palms were not believed to bear the body weight. An experiment conducted on dead bodies revealed that when
palms of dead people were nailed exactly at the spot marked on the shroud of Turin the palms could bear the body weight. This is a spot having particular bones protecting the flesh from tearing and the palms from deformation. Researcher Alan Adler says not log ago researchers discovered traces of exuding liquid blood material right on the shroud. Doctors learnt about the existence of such liquid only in the 20th century. It proves that even a highly-proficient hoaxer had no notion of such liquid and thus could not paint it on the shroud. So, the cloth actually contacted with a human body. It is important that the liquid analysis confirmed the human who had been wrapped in the cloth died of dehydration and pain shock. Earlier, experts denied the hypothesis that crucified people inevitably died of asphyxia. An experiment conducted
involving volunteers proved that the pose of a crucified man caused no problems to breathing and allowed victims stay alive for several days.

The shroud of Turin is a linen sheet into which Christ was wrapped after being taken from the Cross. The ancient linen cloth 14 ft 3 in. long and 3 ft 7 in. wide is kept with special care in a special metal casket in the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist, Turin, Italy. Earlier it was believed that the first record of the shroud dated back to 1354. But a recent research conducted by
Ian Wilson confirmed that there were earlier records dating back to 1200. These records mentioned a cloth that by many features resembled the shroud of Turin. At that time, the relic was known as the Holy Cloth of Edessa as it was kept in the Turkish city of Edessa. Secundo Pia of Turin, a lawyer and amateur photographer photographed the Shroud using glass plates for the first time. When he washed the negative plates he was overwhelmed to find a positive image, and realized he was watching the body of the Crucified Jesus!

The shroud of Turin was damaged in a fire in 1532 and stood another fire in April 1998. Recent studies of the image on the shroud allowed researchers determine the height if Christ; he was about 180cm. A little-known relic kept in a monastery in Oviedo, Spain, is a swath of an ancient fabric with bloodstains. Recent expertise has revealed that the blood on the cloth is identical to the blood on the shroud of Turin. The cloth of 83x53 cm in size is called Sudarium which means “face cloth” in Latin. Researchers believe it is the cloth with which Christ’ face was covered after he was crucified and was kept folded up in a coffin together with the dead body. Chronicles say that the cloth was removed out of Jerusalem during the war against Persia in 614 A.D. It came to Oviedo in 1113.
