For those
of you who do not have a Bible, I
highly recommend that you get
one. As we near the Return of
Christ, alot of things are going
to happen that will literally
shake this world. All of the
answers are in the Bible....so
get one.
Jesus
said, “Now when these things
begin to happen, look up and lift
up your heads, because your
redemption draws near” (Luke
21:28 NKJV)
Appearance of The
Red Heifer After 2000 Years
Numbers 19:2-7
[2] This is the ordinance of
the law which the Lord hath
commanded, saying, Speak unto the
children of Israel, that they
bring thee a red heifer without
spot, wherein is no blemish, and
upon which never came yoke:
[3] And ye shall give her
unto Eleazar the priest, that he
may bring her forth without the
camp, and one shall slay her
before his face: [4] And
Eleazar the priest shall take of
her blood with his finger, and
sprinkle of her blood directly
before the tabernacle of the
congregation seven times:
[5] And one shall burn the
heifer in his sight; her skin,
and her flesh, and her blood,
with her dung, shall he burn:
[6] And the priest shall take
cedar wood, and hyssop, and
scarlet, and cast it into the
midst of the burning of the
heifer. [7] Then the priest shall
wash his clothes, and he shall
bathe his flesh in water, and
afterward he shall come into the
camp, and the priest shall be
unclean until the even."This
is the statute of the law which
the Lord has commanded, saying,
"Speak to the sons of Israel
that they bring you an
unblemished red heifer in which
is no defect and on which a yoke
has never been placed.
"You shall give it to
Eleazar the priest, and it shall
be brought outside the camp and
be slaughtered in his
presence. Next Eleazar the
priest shall take some of its
blood with his finger and
sprinkle some of its blood toward
the front of the tent of meeting
seven times. "Then the
heifer shall be burned in his
sight; its hide and its flesh and
its blood, with its refuse, shall
be burned. "The priest
shall then wash his clothes and
bathe his body in water, and
afterward come into the camp, but
the priest shall be unclean until
evening."
A red heifer will be required
to be used in the
process of purification described
in the book of Numbers. In
May 1997 the first Red Heifer was
born in 2000 years. Another
red Heifer was born in Israel in
March of 2002. [view article]

Increase in Speed
and Knowledge
Dan.
12:4
"But as for you,
Daniel, conceal these words and
seal up the book until the end of
time; many will go back and
forth, and knowledge will
increase."
Knowledge is increasing in
quantum leaps especially in the
fields of computers and physics.
Computers
Computer processors are doubling
in speed and power about every
two years just as Gordon Morre,
Intel cofounder predicted in 1965
(Moore's Law).
2016: The first
reprogrammable quantum computer
is created.
2012: Built by
IBM using their Blue Gene/Q
supercomputer architecture, the
Sequoia system is the world's
fastest supercomputer in 2012.
Despite using 98,304 PowerPC
chips, Sequoia's relatively low
power usage made it unusually
efficient.
2003: The first
64-bit processor, AMD's Athlon
64, becomes available to the
consumer market.
1998: In 1998
IBM will release microprocessor
chips that use copper instead of
aluminum for tracings. These new
chips will run at a whopping
1GHz. Intel reportedly will
release new chips using copper
for PC beginning in the year
2002.
1997: On May 7,
1997 the Pentium II MMX processor
with 7.5 million transistors ran
at 300MHz and an astounding 750
MIPS.
1996: The
Pentium Pro operated at 150MHz
(now 200MHz) and contained 5.5
million transitors, and operates
at 400 MIPS/millions of
instructions per second)
1993: The 80586
trademark named
"Pentium" operates at
219 MIPS. (millions of
instructions per second)
1989: The Intel
80486, released in 1989 operated
at 41.0 MIPS. (millions of
instructions per second)
1985: the
processor was an Intel 8088 which
ran at 4.77MHz (0.75 MIPS) and
contained 29 thousand transitors.
The Intel 80286, better knows as
an AT system operated at 2.66
MIPS. The Intel 80386 released in
1985 operated at 11.4 MIPS.
1971: The Intel
Corporation's produced its first
microprocessor, the Intel 4004.
It operated at 108KHz (0.06 MIPS)
and contained 23 hundred
transitors. MIP is an acronym for
"millions of instructions
per second."
Astrophysicist Mike Warren needed
a super computer but couldn't get
the computation time he needed on
the machines at Los Alamos
National Laboratory so he built
his own! His
"home-made"
super-computer with off-the-shelf
components. The total price for
this super computer which is
ranked 100th fastest computer in
the world is a dirt-cheap
$313,000. His system is composed
of 140 533MHz Alpha 21164A
processors using Linux as the
operating system, and connected
with ordinary Ethernet equipment
and 35.8 GB of memory can perform
an astounding 48.5 billion
calculations a second!
Stanford University and the Air
Force are currently testing a
system that links electrical
signals from the human brain to
computers. This will make it
possible for users to interact
with computer systems merely by
thinking.
Departure from the
Christian faith
2
Thess. 2:3
"Let no man
deceive you by any means: for
that day shall not come, except
there come a falling away first,
and that man of sin be revealed,
the son of perdition;"
1 Tim. 4:1
"Now the Spirit
speaketh expressly, that in the
latter times some shall depart
from the faith, giving heed to
seducing spirits, and doctrines
of devils;"
2 Tim.
3:5; 4:3-4
2 Pet.
3:3-4
Intense demonic
activity
1 Tim. 4:1-3
[1] Now the
Spirit speaketh expressly, that
in the latter times some shall
depart from the faith, giving
heed to seducing spirits, and
doctrines of devils; [2] Speaking
lies in hypocrisy; having their
conscience seared with a hot
iron; [3] Forbidding to
marry, and commanding to abstain
from meats, which God hath
created to be received with
thanksgiving of them which
believe and know the truth.
Unification of the
world's religious, political, and
economic systems
Rev. 13:4-8,
[4] And they
worshipped the dragon which gave
power unto the beast: and they
worshipped the beast, saying, Who
is like unto the beast? who is
able to make war with him?
[5] And there was given unto
him a mouth speaking great things
and blasphemies; and power was
given unto him to continue forty
and two months. [6] And
he opened his mouth in blasphemy
against God, to blaspheme his
name, and his tabernacle, and
them that dwell in heaven.
[7] And it was given unto him
to make war with the saints, and
to overcome them: and power was
given him over all kindreds, and
tongues, and nations. [8] And
all that dwell upon the earth
shall worship him, whose names
are not written in the book of
life of the Lamb slain from the
foundation of the world.

drug usage (The word
"sorceries" here can
also refer to drugs.)
Rev. 9:21
"Neither
repented they of their murders,
nor of their sorceries, nor of
their fornication, nor of their
thefts."
2019 - 19.3 million
adults suffered from illegal drug
use which is 7.7 percent of the
national population. (USA
Stats)
2000
- Since 2000, the rate of deaths
from drug overdoses has increased
137%, including a 200% increase
in the rate of overdose deaths
involving opioids (opioid pain
relievers and heroin). (Source: CDC)
1960's - 1970's - By the
mid 1960s and early 1970s, the US
was entering into the grips of an
amphetamine crisis, with 3.8% of
all Americans misusing
amphetamines and 1.9% meeting the
criteria for amphetamine
dependence.
