From now until the latter part of 2008, many prophecies are going to begin to be fulfilled, especially the Seven Thunders of the Book of Revelation, which the apostle John saw but was restricted from recording. Those thunders are detailed accounts of the final three and one-half years of man's self-rule on earth, which are recorded in the account of the Seventh Seal of Revelation.

Some of these prophecies concern the demise of the United States over the next year, which will be followed by man's final world war. This last war will be the result of clashing religions and the governments they sway. Billions will die! This time will far exceed even the very worst times in all human history.

These events will begin with more acts of terrorism, along with "super" natural disasters, that will far exceed the devastation of 9/11. The magnitude of these events will lead to the demise of the United States and the United Kingdom, which will lead to World War III.

Of those who share a common heritage in Abraham—Islam, Christianity and Judaism. Nearly one-fourth of the Bible contains prophecy that is directed to this time,and those peoples!
These things certainly are unpleasant to ponder, but the reality will prove to be many times worse.

2600 years ago Ezekiel predicted things, and events that are taking place today. when he made those predictions Israel didn't even exist, and the Muslim religion didn't exist until 1300 years later, and some 1300 years after that May 14th 1948 Israel became a soverign nation, and the prediction that Israel would be surrounded by those Muslim nations and they would seek to destroy her, and also if you were really paying attention you know that Russia is revamping its military,and has made an alliance with those nations, this was also predicted.

Vladimir Putin signed a law suspending Russia's participation in a key post-cold war arms treaty, the US declared the move a "mistake".
Amid worsening diplomatic relationship between Moscow and Washington, Putin personally ratified a law that means Moscow has suspended the Conventional Forces in Europe treaty (CFE) as of Dec 12th.
Western military experts believe the CFE, first signed in 1990, is a significant treaty that limits the number of battle tanks, heavy artillery, combat aircraft and attack helicopters deployed and stored between the Atlantic and Russia's Ural mountains.

Drawing parallels with the end of the Roman empire, there are various similarities between America’s current situation and the factors that brought down Rome, including declining moral values and political criminals at home, an over-confident and over-extended military in foreign lands and an irresponsibile central government.
Million of abortions yearly in the US, AIDS and other std's sweep the world, drug abuse is common place, children suffering from hunger, have no medical treatments or supplies, some live in huts or open air with no roof or shelter, yet we live in a world that could erase all these things, but we choose greed, war, we build bombs and other weapons of war, and it is easy to see that mankind absolutely cannot govern themselves.
Its noteworthy to mention the fact that no republic has ever been able to exist longterm, and if you take a step back and look at the end result of permiting anyone to steal such a high office as president twice, and with very little protest from the people, that should give you a hint that our days were numbered.

Ezekiel 38 through 39 tells of a future invasion of Israel by a vast coalition of nations that surround it. As we read the headlines in the newspapers of today, and witness the conflict in the Middle East, it's not hard to imagine that this invasion prophesied over 2600 years ago, could be fulfilled in our lifetime. Ezekiel 36-37 predicts a gathering of the Jews to the nation of Israel, which will be followed by this massive invasion. For 19 centuries the Jewish people were scattered throughout the world, and until May 14, 1948 there was no nation of Israel to invade.

As you read Ezekiel 38 and 39, it isn't just the creation of the nation of Israel that makes this prophecy seem likely to be fulfilled in the near future. The nations that God tells us will form this coalition against Israel seem more likely now than perhaps ever before to form just such an alliance. To understand the prophecies of Ezekiel about this future invasion, it's important to understand who the players will be.

Before looking at the participants of this invasion in more detail, it's important to understand that the war described in Ezekiel 38 is not the same as the war that will come at the end of the tribulation when Jesus returns to defeat the Antichrist and establish his millennial kingdom. How do we know this? The war at the end of the tribulation, known as Armageddon, is a world war. Revelation tells us that this battle will involve all nations. The war described in Ezekiel includes specific nations that invade Israel. Also, Armageddon is at the climax of the tribulation, while the war described in Ezekiel comes well before then.

And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet.

The Soviet Khazar-Jews of Gog, Magog, and Togarmah have already invaded Palestine and stolen it from the Arabs, just as Ezekiel promised. Every one of the Israeli leaders from the start have been Ashkenazim Jews. The Arabs for the most part, understand that the vast majority of Jews entering Palestine are from this heathen source and have absolutely no claim to this land. They have difficulty understanding why American Christians are supporting these anti-Christs. The Khazars have been the traditional enemies of the Arab people since the Middle Ages, and they recognize the true nature of this Ashkenazim invasion.

The Oslo agreement was not a peace agreement but an evil agreement which has brought war, and the division of the land which God gave to Israel. This is exactly what the God of Israel repeatedly warned His people about. Arafat and his so-called "Palestinian Authority" became a snare in the midst of Israel which explodes time and again with many Israeli victims.

Mark 13:14
But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judea flee to the mountains:

The Players:

If you study ancient maps of the region you will understand who they are today!

Rosh---Russia
Magog--Central Asia, or the former Soviet Union
Meshech--Turkey
Tubal--Southern Russia and Iran
Persia--Iran
Ethiopia--Sudan
Put--Lybia
Gomer--Portion of ancient Turkey
And many peoples with you---Possibly Iraq, Syria,Jordan, and Egypt

The first reason God gives for the invasion in Ezekiel 38 is a desire by the coalition to cover the Jewish land and wipe them off the face of the earth. Urged on by a hatred of the Jewish people they will seek to destroy them and the nation of Israel. This is the stated goal today of almost every Islamic nation in the Middle East. The only nations not currently in a declared state of war with Israel are Egypt, Turkey, and Jordan, yet they would certainly be glad to see Israel eliminated if presented with a willing leader and an opportunity to rid the Middle East of Islam's archenemy.

He also notes that one Islamic nation will Question this invasion of Israel..

Ezekiel 38:13
Sheba and Dedan and the merchants of Tarshish with all its villages will say to you, 'Have you come to capture spoil? Have you assembled your company to seize plunder, to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to capture great spoil?'"

The specific nations who question Gog's actions are "Sheba and Dedan and the merchants of Tarshish". Sheba and Dedan are not hard to identify. These were ancient names for what is known today as Saudi Arabia.

Also note that Saudia Arabia has aligned itself with the west in both Gulf wars!

Preliminary data released Thursday by federal scientists predict the annual average temperature for 2007 across the contiguous United States at near 54.3 degrees Fahrenheit — making the year the eighth warmest since records were first kept in 1895. Worldwide, the average temperature for the year, expected to be near 58 degrees Fahrenheit, is on pace to be the fifth warmest ever, said the report by NOAA's National Climatic Data Center.

"Within the last 30 years, the rate of warming is about three times greater than the rate of warming since 1900," said Jay Lawrimore, chief of the climate monitoring branch at the center. "The annual temperatures continue to be either near-record or at record levels year in and year out."

In the United States, the months of March and August were the second warmest in more than 100 years. Six states — Kentucky, Tennessee, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Florida — had the warmest August month on record.

In 113 years of record keeping, all but four states — Texas, Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont — experienced either above average or significantly above average temperatures from January through November. Wyoming had its second warmest year; Idaho and Utah had the fifth-warmest years on record.

North Carolina had the driest year so far. From midsummer into December, more than three-quarters of the Southeast was in drought, the report said.

The problem in Texas, Lawrimore said, was too much rain that led to flooding and the wettest summer on record. The cloudy and rainy weather for much of the year contributed to the cooler temperatures for the state, he said.

Globally, seven of the eighth warmest years on record have occurred since 2001, and the 10 warmest years have all occurred since 1997, said the report.

"When you see these numbers, it's screaming out at you, 'This is global warming,'" said climate scientist Andrew Weaver of the University of Victoria in Canada. "It's the beginning and it's unequivocal."

Weaver said previous warm weather records probably would have been broken this year were it not for some cooling toward the end of the year because of La Nina — a cooling of the mid-Pacific equatorial region.

At a U.N. climate conference on Bali this week, delegates from nearly 190 nations, including the United States, have been trying to hammer out a roadmap for negotiations for a new global warming pact that would take effect in 2012 after the current one expires. Former vice president and Nobel laureate Al Gore told delegates Thursday that the United States was "principally responsible" for blocking progress toward an agreement on launching negotiations to replace the Kyoto Protocol.

Gore won this year's Nobel Peace Prize for helping alert the world to the danger of climate change.

As the world warms, scientists fear an increase in disease, killer weather and the extinction of vast numbers of species.

Globally, the greatest warming took place in high altitude regions of the Northern Hemisphere, the NOAA report said. The impact of that can be seen in the large reductions in Arctic sea ice, which is melting so rapidly that some scientists have predicted it could disappear entirely by the summer of 2040. The U.S. National Snow and Ice Data Center in September estimated the surface area of the Arctic sea ice nearly 23 percent below the previous record set in 2005.

The National Oceanic and Atmosphere Administration will update its data in early January to reflect the last few weeks of December.
