NOTE: THE FOLLOWING IS ONLY THROUGH 2004. - SINCE THAT TIME THESE TYPES OF THINGS ARE HAPPENING WAY WAY MORE OFTEN NOW!!! ARE YOU READY?...
Most have heard people talking about what they believe are the parallels being seen today in current events in the world appearing to increasingly follow Biblical Prophecy. Yet, human nature all to often is not circumspect and examines only one thing at a time, and in so doing, can dismiss any single event as a coincidence or irrelevant. In this article I'll try to briefly note many (but by no means all) significant {?} events since WWII. Please read the following with discernment and prayerfully consider if you can see the Biblical hand in events of our day. Most of the events in this list will be from the last few years, and admittedly a few perhaps may have only little relevance or importance to this topic - but see if you can see a pattern immerging of increasing intensity. We as Believers in Yeshua/Jesus Messiah should have our faith strengthened and be encouraged - and not be fearful - as we see these things coming upon the earth; even as Yeshua Messiah told us in: Lu 21:28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
WWII: Hitler's rise to power in nazi-Germany was as a fore-shadow of the anti-Christ and his government, as spoken of in the New Testament, with his plan to rule the world, and his attempt to kill all the Jews. God uses the USA and England and even Russia to stop this evil empire.
1948: The nation of Israel is born in a day fulfilling many Biblical prophecies. The USA being the primary nation responsible for winning WWII, and the most powerful nation, was able to promote the UN vote allowing this to happen - [and to a lesser extent England with the Balfour declaration in 1917.] - (It is an interesting side-note that an ancient Jewish Midrash written centuries ago states that Abraham was circumcised in the solar-year, dating from the beginning of creation, 1948!)
1948 & on...: Israel from then on enters into a series of wars against absolutely overwhelming odds and miraculously wins them all - demonstrating even to the skeptic God's protection of Israel as spoken of in the Bible.
1963: USA Supreme Court throws prayer out of public schools which had been part of the foundation of our school system since this countries origin.
1963 on...: Into our culture is introduced: eastern false-religions, rampant drug use, various sexual immorality, etc... and they begin to greatly increase in the USA, - Showing a break in the hedge of protection given from God over this country. Also the Bay Of Pigs Affair with Cuba and Russia where the USA almost enters WWIII, President Kennedy's murder in 1965 etc., Vietnam - the first conflict which the USA had ever lost before then (retreating totally from the country) - (Then there is not only what many consider the unusual circumstances surrounding JFK's death, but the very many thought provoking parallels between his murder and President Lincoln's 100 years earlier - these parallels have been documented by many. - But this may or may not have any relevance to the subject at hand.)
1963 on...: Earthquake and volcanic activity begin greatly increasing more and more in the earth. This is stated in the Bible that this would be the case in the end-times. - (NOTE: Not only have earthquakes increased in frequency and size, even into the high 8's on the Richter Scale, - it's further interesting to note that Social Studies books in schools from the early 1960's and earlier stated that there were no longer any active volcanoes in the world. - Guess the eruption of Mt. Saint Helens in 1980 and the other volcanic eruptions around the world in the last few decades have proved that wrong.)
1967: Israel wins in war, again against overwhelming odds, and re-captures all of Jerusalem and the Temple Mount after It being in enemy hands for almost 2,000 years. Also a Cohen/Priest sacrifices a Passover lamb on the Temple Mount in 1967. - This event was the first sacrifice since Passover 70 AD/Ce when the Temple Mount was destroyed by Rome. - 70 AD/Ce was 40 years, or one Biblical generation, from the Time Yeshua/Jesus Messiah had said that this event would occur within one generation when He answered the first part of the Disciples question concerning the Temple. - [It's an interesting side-note that the rabbinic Talmud states: Rabbi Kimchi(Tal. Bab. Treatise Yoma fol.39,col.2): Our Rabbis have handed down the tradition, that 40 years before the destruction of the Temple, the lot - (for the goat that was to be sacrificed on the day of Atonement), didn't come out on the right side. Neither did the scarlet tongue, - (that used to be fastened between the horns of the scapegoat - a scarlet cord), turn white. (As according to tradition, it used to; - to signify that the sins of the people were forgiven), neither did the western lamp burn; the doors of the Sanctuary also opened of their own accord.... MNV]
1967 on...: The Messianic-Biblical-Judaism movement begins to greatly increase from this time period onward. Many young Jewish people who were in the hippy-movement came to believe in Yeshua/Jesus as the Messiah on into the early 1970's. Increasingly more and more Jewish people in general come to be Believers, attending both Messianic and Gentile Churches, until at the present time we see a higher percentage of Jewish Believers than at any other time over the last 2,000 years, since the first century AD/Ce. - [Interesting note: 'As it was in the 1st Cent. AD/Ce, so shall in be in the last Cent. before Messiah's return.' One early historian tell us that there aprox. 1,000,000 million (1/3 of the total Jewish population at the end of the 1st Cent. AD/CE), were Messianic Believers. According to the Inter Mountain Jewish News, (Denver Colo., April 1991), the Council of Jewish Federation's survey, stated that 12% of all ethnic American Jews were "Christian", with 6% Protestant, 5% Catholic, and 1% unspecified. These figures didn't include the 250,000+ Messianic Jews world-wide, Jewish Believers in Gentile Christian Churches across the world, nor the large amount of both Ethiopian and Russian Jews who are Believers in Yeshua HaMashiach, - which would have put the percentages even higher. Not since the 1st Cent. AD/Ce have so many Jewish people believed that Yeshua is the Messiah! MNV]
1973: Roe vs. Wade begins the murder of unborn innocent children which now today now totals over 45,000,000 in this country. USA thus introduces and even supports this practice world-wide (PDD giving US money to China for population control for example) resulting in even more countless millions of child-murders world-wide. (Somewhat interesting to ponder: RU486 is the abortion pill currently being discussed [2003] in the US Senate because of the deaths it has caused in those who've taken it. Does it strike anyone else as somewhat strange that R-U-4-86 [86 being a term that used to be used all the time for killing something - as in: giving it the "86"] is as saying: are-you-for-murder?! - Was this by evil design, or just another in a long series of unGodly circumstances?!)
1973: Israel wins the Yom Kippur war, again against overwhelming odds, and captures the entire Egyptian Sinai and marches to just outside of Damascus. Russia puts it's troops on Israel's border and USA goes on full nuclear alert (first time since the Bay Of Pigs Affair in 1963) and demands that Russia leave immediately or USA will declare war. This almost resulted in the gog/magog WWIII Biblical scenario taking place.
1973 & on...: Homosexual rights movement takes off more and more, states begin to overturn laws outlawing homosexuality/sodomy, sacrilege and taking The-LORD's Name in vain increases, making fun of Pastors and Christians increases in the media and culture, etc....
1988: Many well known parallels with the Bible surround the year 1988 (40 years after Israel became a nation in 1948). So much so that many people holding to the pre-Rapture dogma thought the Rapture of the Church would occur that year. - However many others simply believed that these correlations were simply a wake-up call to a sleeping Church as in where the New Testament gives the account of the 10 virgins where they hear the cry: Behold the Bride Groom cometh! Regardless - things really start to take off from this year on!...
1990 & on....: Aliyah to Israel: Jews returning to Israel has been going on and increasing. - Such as with Exodus II with the Russian Jews returning to Israel. -(Again as mentioned in Scripture - and we see it happening before our very eyes!)
1990-91 : The Gulf War - Iraq (ancient Babylon) attacks Kuwait and declares war on Israel on the Biblical calendar date of the 9th of Av., (the 9th of Av is a date that very many tragic events have happened to Israel down through the centuries: the 1st & 2nd destructions of the Temple, etc....) and the war ended on the Biblical Feast of Purim the next year, the date when centuries before Israel in Babylon celebrated their deliverance from the attempt of Babylon to kill them all. This is the first war in modern times that Israel won without firing a shot! - (NOTE: On September 11, 1990 President George Bush Sr. went before a joint session of congress to talk about the events in the Persian Gulf and what's at stake. Was it only a coincidence that the largest terrorist attack on the USA happened 11 years later on the same day while President George Bush Jr. was President?!) - (It is further very interesting to note the following: A few observations about the Gulf war.... First, we know that prophecies in Tanach can have a dual, [or more] fulfillment, {The abomination of desolation for example}. With that in mind, I think that the prophecies relating to Babylon have a fulfillment in their first overthrow, then another at the beginning of the judgment of the nations before the Tribulation, - (which I believe we've recently seen), and again at a future time. Note in Isaiah 13a {first part of the chapter, which begins the judgments against the nations, - and in context (at times) clearly expressed as being the end of times as we see in following chapters}: 13:1 The burden against Babylon which Isaiah the son of Amoz saw. *[While I feel that the reff. to 'religious Babylon' in Revelation means another country than the physical Babylon, here in Isaiah I think the prophecy is concerning physical Babylon/Iraq. Remember in Nebechanezar's dream had Babylon as the 'head' of the statue of the nations. Interesting that being at the head, it perhaps is seen as the first to be judged, & this prophecy sits at the head of the prophecies against the nations in this section of Isaiah.] - 13:2 Lift up a banner on the high mountain, Raise your voice to them; Wave your hand, that they may enter the gates of the nobles. *[Possibly a reff. to offering Iraq, many times, the choice to avoid this war, and enter into a noble solution, rather than this war(?)]. - 13:3 I have commanded My sanctified ones; I have also called My mighty ones for My anger - Those who rejoice in My exaltation. - 13:4 The noise of a multitude in the mountains, Like that of many people! A tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered together! The Lord of hosts musters the army for battle. They come 13:5 from a far country, From the end of heaven, Even the Lord and His weapons of indignation, To destroy the whole land. *[Often in of indignation, To destroy the whole land. *[Often in Scripture, nations armies are noted as being directed of the Lord for His purposes. Thus in this war we have just been in, it is the first time we could say many nations fought against one country. In other wars, there have been several nations, fighting several others, but never VERY MANY NATIONS AGAINST ONE NATION. Note: the reff.- 'from a far country' - (the USA?) - 13:6 Wail for the day of the Lord is at hand! It will come as destruction from the Almighty. 13:7 Therefore all hands will be limp, Every man's heart will melt, 13:8 And they will be afraid. Pangs and sorrows will take hold of them; They will be in pain as a woman in childbirth; They will be amazed at one another; There faces will be like flames. *[This reminds me of the shape that we found the Iraqi army in.] 13:9 Behold, the day of the Lord comes, Cruel with both wrath and fierce anger, To lay the land desolate; And He will destroy its sinners with it. *[& indeed the land of Iraq has been laid totally desolate! -- Perhaps more so than any other post-war nation to date.] 13:10 For the stars of heaven and their constellations will not give their light; The sun will be darkened in its going forth, and the moon will not cause its light to shine. *[& again, this is just the condition we saw, due to the oil wells burning, and the sky pollution from the many bombings.] Again, these conditions, [all nations gathered, the light diminished, etc.], were not present during the first overthrow of ancient Babylon. They were during this overthrow. Another interesting thing, the war ended on the Biblical feast of Purim! - [in Esther if you'll remember, when this SAME PHYSICAL COUNTRY (that is: in including the Iraqi area) threatened to wipe out all the Jews the plot was defeated on this SAME DAY, and it became the Biblical feast of Purim]. And we have just seen the same thing during our life-time! One more interesting point... this is the first war that Israel has been involved in, since Biblical times, that she has ended up on the winning side without firing a shot! I feel that we may have left the labor room - [beginning of birth-pangs], and entered the delivery room! Actually, the announcement came from President Bush for Feb. 27th at midnight EST. Given the fact that Israel is 8 hours ahead of us MST, and that Purim starts sundown the day before, it would have been 6 AM the morning of Purim in Israel when the fighting stopped! I also found it interesting that the Iraqi planes kept by Iran were right outside of Shushan. MNV)
1991 & on...: From this time and on we increasingly hear government leaders using such statements as: new world order, one world government, global government, etc....
1991 & on....: Disease starts to increase world-wide, but of particular note from this time on are: the "flesh-eating" disease - Streptococcus B - never seen before; and the Gulf-War syndrome, etc....
1991 & on....: Many global trade agreements are introduced and passed worldwide.
[1,1993-1,2001: Bill Clinton's presidency - (Don't think I even have to elaborate!)]
1993: On the Biblical Feast of Rosh HaShannah, September 13, the Oslo Accord, a seven year "peace" treaty with the PLO/PA murders of Israel, contrary to Scripture was entered into by the USA, Israel, and The Federation of Russia, through Clinton Arafat and Rabin. But PA/Arab Terrorists attacks still continued against Israel from this time on. - (NOTE: This peace treaty was originally called the "Peace and Security Agreement". - Consider that in light of the following verse and several other Prophetic Verses in the Bible that address this aspect - "While they are saying, "Peace and security!" then destruction will come upon them suddenly." 1 Thessalonians 5:3. Another somewhat interesting side-note: It was later called the Oslo I & II accord, it was the ONLY 7 year peace covenant in all of history. It was witnessed by 3000 people, the largest crowd ever to attend the White House. Interestingly this is the same number that died when Moses brought the Law down from the mountain as the people had entered into sin.)
1994: In the early morning of January 17 a magnitude 6.8 earthquake shook the Los Angeles area. - At that time, because of the damage, this was considered "the costliest natural disaster in USA history." - (There have been many articles written correlating natural disasters from this date onward, that have occurred in the USA and abroad, either timed with or sometime after the USA and other governments have made anti-Israel edicts or decisions, but including here such a detailed analysis is beyond the scope of this article.)
1995: On November 5 the shooting death of the PM of Israel Rabin occurred during the very Shabbat that his death was foretold in Scripture (by a certain way of reading the weekly Torah [O.T.] portion of the Bible) that very week! The weekly reading order of these portions has been occurring in Synagogues for centuries. -(While this subject is too lengthy to be treated in this article, you can read more about it in the 'other documents' section at: www.YHVH.vze.com/ or at: www.ortzion.org/Jacob_wrst10A.html )
1997: Comet Hale-Bopp appears - and a bunch of deceived idiots kill themselves. -(NOTE: this is the wrong way to look at a sign!)
2000: 1/1 - Due to a somewhat general apprehension over the "start of the millennium", and due to prior events that had occurred appearing to increasingly fulfill Biblical prophecy, and also partially because of a slight hysteria promoted by the media over fear of world-wide computer failure (a valid fear had it not been quickly addressed by computer programmers worldwide), many who were already into a "survivalist" mode stocked up even more - and many others who weren't into survivalism before this, also started stocking up. - When nothing happened this latter group got discouraged and ate their food storage :-) - Seriously though, however ironic, things really did begin to escalate after this date anyway....
2000: George W. Bush Jr. wins the Presidential election, after a one vote margin in the Supreme Court ruling concerning counting of the "chads"-(gosh! was I ever tired of hearing that word before it was over!) Considering the alternative - Gore -(imagine Gore in charge right after 9/11 ! ) many considered this a direct answer to prayer - (if nothing else from the sickening Democratic-party's display in Florida.) -(How does this relate to the subject at hand? - I just decided to include it in this time-line anyway.)
2000 & on: In Feb. China begins a series of threats against the USA, including saying that they would nuke Hollywood if we interfere in their military plans for Taiwan. Also China forced an emergency landing and captured our surveillance aircraft. China's rhetoric has only toned down somewhat recently, but build up of their military forces with a view towards conquering Taiwan continue.
2000: In September on Rosh HaShannah 2000, seven years after the Rabin "peace" treaty, PM Sharon was accompanied by many and entered the Temple Mount - Sharon read from Scripture: since then the Palestinians have not ceased to attack Israel, which continues to this very day in the current war by the PA. On March 22, 2001 [the 27th of Adar, 5761] Rosh Kodesh Nisan (Beginning of Nisan - the start of the prophetic year in Scripture) all 27 of the leading orthodox rabbis and Chassidic sages in Israel formally recognized the beginning of the: "time of Jacob's trouble." - (Almost a miracle in itself - to get 27 of the leading rabbis and sages in Israel to jointly agree on anything together! :-)
2000: Noah's Ark - In Nov. we see dramatic new photographs of the location -(first photographed during a routine U.S. Air Force mission over Turkey on June 17, 1949 - and the object of several expeditions)- stated to be the resting place of Noah's Ark. (More info at: www.insightmag.com/archive/200011218.shtml and at 'Biblical discovery' section at: www.YHVH.vze.com/ )
2000: The USA - long time supporter in the UN of Israel, in a UN resolution rebuke votes against Israel for the first time! - And almost every other nation voted the same way as the USA.
2001: 1/1 The actual start of the millennium begins -(2000 was part of the 20th century). Interest is again peaked in Biblical Prophecy noting the situation in Israel and across the world, and being somewhere close to the 6000th year since creation began -(as various Biblical scholars calculate it), and the second-day - 2000 years - since the birth of Yeshua/Jesus Messiah. (2,000 years = 2 days, as in the Biblical understanding of: a 1000 years being as a day unto God as mentioned in Scripture. Noting various things, such as the verse ...on the third day He shall raise us up [paraphrased], and ancient Rabbinic sayings such as: 6 days of creation, and 6000 years till the reign of Messiah - 2 days without Torah/Law, 2 days with Torah/Law, and two days of The Messiah - and a 1000 years with The Messiah reigning on the earth [paraphrased]. This is a very interesting study in and of itself, but is outside the limits of this article, though you can read more about it and other related topics at: www.YHVH.vze.com/ ) But instead of seeing world events cooling off, far from it, things now really begin to take off!
2001: On April 5th the extremely rare event of the birth of a completely pure colored (not one hair of a different color) Red Heifer occurred in Israel. Israel hasn't had the ashes of the Red Heifer for almost 2,000 years since the destruction of the Temple by Rome. The ashes of the Red Heifer is the first thing necessary for the Temple sacrifices to resume as commanded in the Torah/Law of God given to Moses. While this may not have meant much to the average Gentile Christian, let me assure you it did not go unnoticed among Rabbinic Jews. Add to this that we have also seen repeated attempts by the "Temple Mount Faithful" to lay the corner-stone to the New Temple in Jerusalem, the Jewish Cohanim/Priests are currently being trained for the Temple duties, the articles of worship as they were in the prior Temple have been manufactured, even the very stones for the new Temple have been quarried! (More info at: www.templeinstitute.org/current-events/RedHeifer/index.html )
2001: 9/11 - As the USA was for the 1st time preparing to take their own anti-Israeli/Jerusalem resolution to the UN, the tragic events of 9/11 occur. Much has been written how this fore-shadowed many prophetic Scriptures in the Bible. The USA then went forth conquering and to conquer, Afghanistan, Iraq... and where it will lead only God fully knows. It's even been suggested that the 1st seal white horse that went forth conquering and to conquer, as we read about in the Book of Revelation in the Bible, could be the USA set in motion.
2001 & on....: Many prophecies visions and dreams are again given concerning the USA and Israel and the world in general, some by well know evangelists, as well as prior prophecies having been given earlier by well know figures appear as starting to be fulfilled, or else on the verge of being fulfilled as related to current events. -(For example it's interesting to note that while France has been somewhat anti-American for decades yet mostly in the background - we now see, as mentioned in Dumitru Duduman's prophecies concerning America, France coming to the forefront in their anti-USA stance.)
2001 & on...: Murderous terrorists attacks against the Jewish people, mostly in - but also outside of Israel - increase and continue to increase till this very day. Murder and persecution against Christians escalates world wide, in Arab nations, China, Indonesia, Africa, etc.... The censoring of Judaic-Christian Belief in public increases dramatically, such as publicly quoting Bible passages that show homosexuality to be sin is now considered a hate crime in Canada, etc.... -(All right in line with Prophecy in the Bible.)
2001 & on....: Israeli leadership and Jews in general begin to note for the first time in the media that the Evangelical Christians are among their strongest supporters of Israel's few supporters worldwide. -(noting several things: the way votes and statements start to go in the USA congress, public Christian leaders statements supporting Israel, direct support in various ways, etc....) Increasingly American Jews begin to vote Republican for the first time.
2001 & on....: Various laws are passed both here in the USA and across the world that increase governments surveillance of all citizens, and begin to further restrict peoples rights. Statements are increasingly heard from government officials stating in essence that: there will have to be a curtailing of certain rights in order to bring about security.
2001 & on....: Cloning and genetic-engineering increasingly come to light, a Torah violation and an abomination!
2001 & on....: Various diseases crop up world-wide and are on the increase unto this very day, in areas of the world where they've never seen before, in both unknown types and sometimes of completely unknown genetic makeup. A few viruses suggest genetic-engineering and/or bio-warfare agents - this is written about in several articles.
2002: 1/1 The European Economic Community, The United States Of Europe, becomes official. The very first flag/symbol of the EU was 10 stars surrounding one star. - Many scholars feel that the EU are the 10 kings spoken of in Scripture. Regardless, by and large mostly long since apostate, we see almost a total disregard for any Judeo-Christian Biblical morals from most of these countries. - Most of the EU countries also are showing themselves at a more advanced state of totally taking control of peoples God-given rights than even many of the former USSR satellite nations. With few exceptions there is rampant anti-Semitism and/or anti-Israeli stances in the EU; and with the partial exception of England, there is also very much of an increasingly anti-USA sentiment shown in most of the EU countries.
2002: The day before Nissan 1 5762 [Tues. March 12, 2002] - the U.S.A. introduced into the U.N. an anti-Israel/Jerusalem resolution condemning Israel and their "violence" against the PLO, and calling for a Palestinian State. The USA now has now turned the corner from almost unwavering support of Israel - to a stance of joining, even leading, in the condemnation of Israel before the United Nations. I believe the timing was significant - being the last day before the beginning of the Prophetic year of Nissan. -(I believer that it was also significant that there were 100,000 demonstrating in Israel against the pro-PLO stance, and millions praying world-wide for Israel on Nissan 1 {Rosh Kodesh starting Wed. evening} .) We read in Scripture the very many prophecies, shown in context, that speak to the condition of the world in the 'end-times'. Not only because of LAWlessness increasing in the world and even in the "Church" in the end-times, - but also because of the nations disputing about Israel's borders/territories (KJV/NAS respectively), boastful threats against Israel, and the overall unGodly treatment by the nations against God's chosen people the Jews is another of the main things that bring about Judgment from God on the world in the end-times. The Bible also states that this would come about when all the nations turn against Israel - and in this UN vote by all the nations, and the daily threatening and demands against Israel by the world - we've arrived at that point in history folks! The "Church" was told to pray and intercede for the House of Israel, His heritage - those who for centuries preserved for us the Holy Bible - of whom Paul declares that in the end: All Israel shall be Saved. And not to boast against nor mistreat them - but pray for them - for the grafting in of the branches that were broken. - Yet today, a survey stated that 40 percent of Evangelical Christians - (the very ones who should know the Bible well and know better) - are anti-Israel and hence pro-PA/PLO! -(I personally think that figure in the survey was too high - but the percentage should be 0 - none!) [Carefully/prayerfully read the entire short Book of Zephaniah in the Tanakh/O.T. to see but one of many many examples in the Bible where God's wrath falls in Judgment on the nations for their being against Israel, the Jews, and His Land.]
2002: During the week of May 9th 2002 the worlds attention was focused on the violent takeover then exit of the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem Israel by the Palestinian terrorists. While this was going on, the USA, Russia and the EU were trying to shove a "peace" treaty down Israel's throat. And while these events were occurring, overhead in Israel could be seen: In the beginning of this week the five planets - Mercury, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn and Venus are in a triangular formation only 33 degrees apart, and later in the week this display is joined by the crescent moon combined with Venus the brightest planet within a fraction of a degree of the moon - (a sight seldom seen that has inspired the design of many flags in the Muslim world, including those of Turkey, Malaysia and Pakistan.) - And to top it all off a blue-tailed-comet (Ikeya-Zhang's) is visible in the sky during this very same week! You know folks, the Bible says in the end- times that YHVH would show signs, and wonders in the heavens. - Of course every time a sign or wonder shows in the sky people debate whether it is really a sign or not - or if it is - what could it possibly mean? Perhaps this time these events in the sky were to draw peoples gaze back to a time farther distant -- consider the contrast of these two events: A Child was born nearly 2,000 years ago under a star in Bethlehem to bring True and Pure Shalom/Peace on earth to man. - Nearly 2,000 years later the nations are demanding Israel embrace in "peace" UNREPENTANT ones who have been MURDERING them! - and then the nations further demand that Israel reward them with giving them a large portion of their tiny Land! - The very Land given to Israel by decree in the Bible from God! - And the nations are even demanding it of Israel during this very time while those same murderous men just took over the Church of the Nativity - and to make it even worse - certain heretical and cold "Christian" leadership were standing to applaud those palestinians violent efforts that week! - This is the "peace" the world offers! No thanks! - I'll take the Shalom/Peace that the Child of Bethlehem gives - the One of Whom the angel of YHVH declared: you shall call His Name Yeshua/(Jesus) - SALVATION!
2002: April, Another comet (Utsunomiya) passes the earth. -(Significance? I don't know, God knows.)
2002: Third "moon" discovered orbiting the Earth? Much uncertainty surrounds the mysterious object, designated J002E3. It could be a passing chunk of rock captured by the Earth's gravity, or it could be a discarded rocket casing coming back to our region of space. If it is determined that J002E3 is natural it will become Earth's third natural satellite. Earth's second one is called Cruithne. - It was discovered in 1986 and it takes a convoluted horseshoe path around our planet as it is tossed about by the Earth's and the Moon's gravity. More info at: news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/2251386.stm - (So how does this relate to the subject at hand? - I just decided to include it in this time-line anyway as it's interesting. :-)
2002: On July 4th water for the first time begins seeping from the Western/Wailing Wall in Jerusalem on the Temple mount. This is seen by many to be a sign of the soon coming of Messiah. There are many prophecies about water flowing from the Temple Mount in the Bible. -(Perhaps one by analogy might dare to surmise that this flow started with weeping over a long time friend - but who is now drifting away - the USA. )
2003: In May the Road map to peace [hell !] is formally introduced (Some have even written of this road-map calling it the "final solution" - anyone remember that term being used by the nazi's in WWII concerning killing all the Jews?! - ironic? - or just tragic!) The USA, England, Russia, the EU and all the nations begin demanding the breakup of Israel and Jerusalem to give a portion of the Land to those who murder innocent Israeli citizens!, - and these murderers are part of the very same enemies that the USA itself is fighting! Besides being absolutely illogical and hypocritical - this measure is entirely against the Bible!
2003: In June, the first homosexual marriage license was issued in North America in Canada. U.S. pastor: Partner and I will 'fly to Canada to be legally married' ! abomination!
2003: In June, San Francisco (dpa) reports: - Huge swarms of hungry grasshoppers have invaded the western United States, prompting agricultural experts to warn of damage unparalleled in decades.
2003: In June, the USA Supreme Court strikes down Texas sodomy law - Seen as creation of right to 'gay' sex, Scalia: Justices entered 'culture war' - this results in the removal of the remaining states anti-sodomy laws! abomination! Since that time homosexual themes have rapidly increased everywhere, in sitcoms, in print, lesbians kissing on TV, etc....
2003: Warnings from and to the USA with Syria, Iran, Korea even Cuba keep happening more and more. Korea almost daily it seems states that it will nuke the USA.
2003: In Russia Putin begins increasingly introducing again communist style control of the people.
2003: August. Mars makes it's closest approach to earth ever. - A 'generic' sign in the sky? - Regardless this 'sign' is taken by the pagan false-religions as a sign to them. However, the events that surrounded this event were very significant - 10 Commandments ordered out of public building by Federal court, homosexual bishop appointed by Anglican church. And many Jews and Christians were allowed on the Temple Mount to hold only the 2nd Holy Day event, (Rosh Kodesh), in nearly 2,000 years!
2003: September. The day before the Biblical Holy Day of Rosh HaShannah a portion of Temple Mount wall collapses! - and on the same day: The muslims then blame Israel for it because of the failure of an al-aqsa mosque interior wall!
2003: Terrorists attacks increase daily in Iraq to whereas now more US forces have been killed since the USA has taken control of [mystery] Babylon then when the USA took it over in war.
2003: Israel attacks Syria, both sides threaten major escalation, Iran threatens Israel if they attack their nuclear sites, very unusual hurricane breaks normal weather pattern for east coast hurricanes and heads straight inland from Washington DC and southward. Largest wildfires ever hit California - at least 1 of the fires was set by a terrorist, etc., etc., etc....!
2003: November. Even a Russian expedition to the Mountains of Ararat claims having discovered Noah's Ark on Mountains of Ararat! www.ansa.it/ansalatina/notizie/rubriche/variedades/20031101123032741138.html
2003: November. After the sun sets off 10 huge solar flares in a short time period (even 2 in a row is highly unusual!) - and at the same time of the last gigantic solar flare going off which was by far the biggest ever recorded - the USA Supreme Court refuses to hear the 10 Commandments case - in essence saying: separate the USA from God's Laws - God's Laws are illegal to be publicly displayed in the USA!; and also at the same time the episcopalian church in America consecrate the prior appointed homosexual bishop with their laying on of [unholy]-hands! abomination! -(Most I'm sure have noticed the increase in LAWlessness not only in the world, but in a portion of the "Church" that is becoming increasingly apostate - false doctrines, and damaging dogmas, fornication, sexual perversion, divorce, and etc., are everywhere and getting worse! One will say: I hold to Grace and throw-out Law/Torah - another will say: I hold to Torah/Law and throw-out Grace - and both fall into a ditch! - For we are saved by Grace through Faith and not of works lest man should boast - yet - Faith without Works is dead and stands alone! In the first century AD/Ce perhaps it could have been laid at the doorstep of some Believers that legalism was their stumbling-block - but now days in this century it isn't legalism that is the main problem - it's LAWlessness! Now some will say: yea but those are the tares - doesn't effect me - I'm wheat! - Yet as times wax worse and worse iniquity is even piling itself high against True Believers to get them to stumble or compromise their walk - take heed! Read the account prayerfully in Revelation about the Church of Ladeocia - and see if that doesn't speak to the condition of many in the "Church" of today.
2003: November. A full solar eclipse and the second full lunar eclipse of the year are to occur in November during the month of ramadan. (While it might with all the events going on in the world remind us as a fore-shadow of the certain passages in the Bible such as: Joel 2:31 - "The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of YHVH come.") These events are being taken seriously by several murderous sects of islamic/muslim fanatics worldwide as being their time, (to do even more so than they already have been): completely destroy Israel, the USA, and to take over the world. Yet we as Believers in Yeshua Messiah should not fear, but be strong in YHVH and in the power of His might, and declare: YHVH is my Light and my Salvation; whom shall I fear? YHVH is the Strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell. Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident. Ps.27:1-3

On the very day, according to the Biblical/Jewish calendar (10/28/04 - 14 Cheshvan 5765), that PM Rabin was assassinated in 1995 - Arafat also became deathly ill and briefly went into a coma and was transported to a hospital in France. Then Thursday 11/04 - Arafat died "clinically" and only his body is artificially on life-support on the anniversary of the very same day, according to the world's secular calendar, that Rabin was assassinated -(PA officials have tried to downplay his "death", his being artificially on life-support, - though several sources: Prime Minister Jean-Claude Juncker's statement, Israeli Intel., etc..., have confirmed that he indeed died on Thurs.. - The PA had also earlier that they wouldn't announce his death till 72 hours later to allow for transition in Gaza.) The day Arafat first became deathly ill was also the very day that Jordan formally signed a peace accord with Israel exactly ten years ago on the Biblical/Israeli calendar. On Rosh HaShannah September 13th, 1993 a 7 year (unGodly) covenant, the Oslo Accord, was signed between Yassir Arafat and Yitzchak Rabin - exactly 7 years to the day on Rosh HaShannah 2000, the current on-going war with the PA began. -(30 days later there was a joint issued statement by all the Rabbinic authorities in Israel that Israel had just entered into the time of "Jacob's Trouble".) They (Rabin & Arafat) are now both dead. There are also very many unusual and even Biblical circumstances that surrounded Rabin's assassination - you can read more on this at: www.geocities.com/onein3yhvh3inone/RabinProphecyEndOfTheAge.html . There also appears to be many NWO circumstances surrounding the Rabin assassination - you can read more about this on Barry Camish's Web Site . ...Many expect the chaos that has been recently escalating in the Palestinian zones to explode when he (Arafat) finally dies, with the likelihood that a bloody power struggle, and possibly even a civil war, will follow.... -(Statement in the WarReport of 10/28/04 from the DAVID DOLAN newsletter ddolan@grmi.org )]; Strong Earthquake Hits Northern Japan (again!); Icelandic volcano called 'incredible sight' - 'Mesmerizing' 8-mile-high plume spreading across the Atlantic; Dollar falls daily in value globally - as Gold and Silver gain increases; Solar activity increases yet again; Bush to legalise millions of illegal aliens; Ranier Quake Biggest in 30 Years; Arafat - One of the worst terrorist mass-murderers in history dies - and much of the world cries & mourns his death!; .News Alert: Will Arafat's Death Lead to a Significant US Role in the Acceleration of End-time Prophecy? ; World Leaders Mourn (mass murderer) Arafat at Funeral - AP ; Pope, Bush invoke 'blessing' concerning Arafat;. 20 World Earthquakes 5.0 and Higher in 48 Hours - USGS - Since world began their gushing love-wake for mass-murderer Arafat; Global/NWO plans expand world-wide; Cloning, Genetic Engineering, Homosexuality, anti-Christian and anti-Jewish attacks out of control globally; China is in midst of massive military buildup to attack Taiwan; Volcano Erupts in Southern Colombia, Ignites Fires; Ukraine on the brink of Civil War - Russia lashes out at U.S.; Economic 'Armageddon' Predicted - collapse of U.S. dollar; Locust: Isreal suffers biblical plague; and on and on and on!...
NOTE: The bottom line is folks - since mid-2004 things now are happening at such a breath-taking pace I can't in an Email such as this even begin to address what's happening! - It would take a book just for the last year (2004) alone. I've merely tried to skim a few of the headlines to give you a brief overview of 2004. - If you look at the progression since WWII/1948 - hopefully you'll see a pattern!
This is by no means an exhaustive list. - There are many more direct fulfillments of Prophecies since 1948, and partial fore-shadow-type fulfillments, and various events happening - and while not all of these occurrences are directly addressed in Scripture - increasingly more and more every day they all point to the Day of YHVH being at the door.
Hopefully this has helped with just one question you might ask yourself.... Am I ready for the return of Yeshua/Jesus The Messiah?
Please feel free to forward this to whoever you feel led to.
Shalom
Most have heard people talking about what they believe are the parallels being seen today in current events in the world appearing to increasingly follow Biblical Prophecy. Yet, human nature all to often is not circumspect and examines only one thing at a time, and in so doing, can dismiss any single event as a coincidence or irrelevant. In this article I'll try to briefly note many (but by no means all) significant {?} events since WWII. Please read the following with discernment and prayerfully consider if you can see the Biblical hand in events of our day. Most of the events in this list will be from the last few years, and admittedly a few perhaps may have only little relevance or importance to this topic - but see if you can see a pattern immerging of increasing intensity. We as Believers in Yeshua/Jesus Messiah should have our faith strengthened and be encouraged - and not be fearful - as we see these things coming upon the earth; even as Yeshua Messiah told us in: Lu 21:28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
WWII: Hitler's rise to power in nazi-Germany was as a fore-shadow of the anti-Christ and his government, as spoken of in the New Testament, with his plan to rule the world, and his attempt to kill all the Jews. God uses the USA and England and even Russia to stop this evil empire.
1948: The nation of Israel is born in a day fulfilling many Biblical prophecies. The USA being the primary nation responsible for winning WWII, and the most powerful nation, was able to promote the UN vote allowing this to happen - [and to a lesser extent England with the Balfour declaration in 1917.] - (It is an interesting side-note that an ancient Jewish Midrash written centuries ago states that Abraham was circumcised in the solar-year, dating from the beginning of creation, 1948!)
1948 & on...: Israel from then on enters into a series of wars against absolutely overwhelming odds and miraculously wins them all - demonstrating even to the skeptic God's protection of Israel as spoken of in the Bible.
1963: USA Supreme Court throws prayer out of public schools which had been part of the foundation of our school system since this countries origin.
1963 on...: Into our culture is introduced: eastern false-religions, rampant drug use, various sexual immorality, etc... and they begin to greatly increase in the USA, - Showing a break in the hedge of protection given from God over this country. Also the Bay Of Pigs Affair with Cuba and Russia where the USA almost enters WWIII, President Kennedy's murder in 1965 etc., Vietnam - the first conflict which the USA had ever lost before then (retreating totally from the country) - (Then there is not only what many consider the unusual circumstances surrounding JFK's death, but the very many thought provoking parallels between his murder and President Lincoln's 100 years earlier - these parallels have been documented by many. - But this may or may not have any relevance to the subject at hand.)
1963 on...: Earthquake and volcanic activity begin greatly increasing more and more in the earth. This is stated in the Bible that this would be the case in the end-times. - (NOTE: Not only have earthquakes increased in frequency and size, even into the high 8's on the Richter Scale, - it's further interesting to note that Social Studies books in schools from the early 1960's and earlier stated that there were no longer any active volcanoes in the world. - Guess the eruption of Mt. Saint Helens in 1980 and the other volcanic eruptions around the world in the last few decades have proved that wrong.)
1967: Israel wins in war, again against overwhelming odds, and re-captures all of Jerusalem and the Temple Mount after It being in enemy hands for almost 2,000 years. Also a Cohen/Priest sacrifices a Passover lamb on the Temple Mount in 1967. - This event was the first sacrifice since Passover 70 AD/Ce when the Temple Mount was destroyed by Rome. - 70 AD/Ce was 40 years, or one Biblical generation, from the Time Yeshua/Jesus Messiah had said that this event would occur within one generation when He answered the first part of the Disciples question concerning the Temple. - [It's an interesting side-note that the rabbinic Talmud states: Rabbi Kimchi(Tal. Bab. Treatise Yoma fol.39,col.2): Our Rabbis have handed down the tradition, that 40 years before the destruction of the Temple, the lot - (for the goat that was to be sacrificed on the day of Atonement), didn't come out on the right side. Neither did the scarlet tongue, - (that used to be fastened between the horns of the scapegoat - a scarlet cord), turn white. (As according to tradition, it used to; - to signify that the sins of the people were forgiven), neither did the western lamp burn; the doors of the Sanctuary also opened of their own accord.... MNV]
1967 on...: The Messianic-Biblical-Judaism movement begins to greatly increase from this time period onward. Many young Jewish people who were in the hippy-movement came to believe in Yeshua/Jesus as the Messiah on into the early 1970's. Increasingly more and more Jewish people in general come to be Believers, attending both Messianic and Gentile Churches, until at the present time we see a higher percentage of Jewish Believers than at any other time over the last 2,000 years, since the first century AD/Ce. - [Interesting note: 'As it was in the 1st Cent. AD/Ce, so shall in be in the last Cent. before Messiah's return.' One early historian tell us that there aprox. 1,000,000 million (1/3 of the total Jewish population at the end of the 1st Cent. AD/CE), were Messianic Believers. According to the Inter Mountain Jewish News, (Denver Colo., April 1991), the Council of Jewish Federation's survey, stated that 12% of all ethnic American Jews were "Christian", with 6% Protestant, 5% Catholic, and 1% unspecified. These figures didn't include the 250,000+ Messianic Jews world-wide, Jewish Believers in Gentile Christian Churches across the world, nor the large amount of both Ethiopian and Russian Jews who are Believers in Yeshua HaMashiach, - which would have put the percentages even higher. Not since the 1st Cent. AD/Ce have so many Jewish people believed that Yeshua is the Messiah! MNV]
1973: Roe vs. Wade begins the murder of unborn innocent children which now today now totals over 45,000,000 in this country. USA thus introduces and even supports this practice world-wide (PDD giving US money to China for population control for example) resulting in even more countless millions of child-murders world-wide. (Somewhat interesting to ponder: RU486 is the abortion pill currently being discussed [2003] in the US Senate because of the deaths it has caused in those who've taken it. Does it strike anyone else as somewhat strange that R-U-4-86 [86 being a term that used to be used all the time for killing something - as in: giving it the "86"] is as saying: are-you-for-murder?! - Was this by evil design, or just another in a long series of unGodly circumstances?!)
1973: Israel wins the Yom Kippur war, again against overwhelming odds, and captures the entire Egyptian Sinai and marches to just outside of Damascus. Russia puts it's troops on Israel's border and USA goes on full nuclear alert (first time since the Bay Of Pigs Affair in 1963) and demands that Russia leave immediately or USA will declare war. This almost resulted in the gog/magog WWIII Biblical scenario taking place.
1973 & on...: Homosexual rights movement takes off more and more, states begin to overturn laws outlawing homosexuality/sodomy, sacrilege and taking The-LORD's Name in vain increases, making fun of Pastors and Christians increases in the media and culture, etc....
1988: Many well known parallels with the Bible surround the year 1988 (40 years after Israel became a nation in 1948). So much so that many people holding to the pre-Rapture dogma thought the Rapture of the Church would occur that year. - However many others simply believed that these correlations were simply a wake-up call to a sleeping Church as in where the New Testament gives the account of the 10 virgins where they hear the cry: Behold the Bride Groom cometh! Regardless - things really start to take off from this year on!...
1990 & on....: Aliyah to Israel: Jews returning to Israel has been going on and increasing. - Such as with Exodus II with the Russian Jews returning to Israel. -(Again as mentioned in Scripture - and we see it happening before our very eyes!)
1990-91 : The Gulf War - Iraq (ancient Babylon) attacks Kuwait and declares war on Israel on the Biblical calendar date of the 9th of Av., (the 9th of Av is a date that very many tragic events have happened to Israel down through the centuries: the 1st & 2nd destructions of the Temple, etc....) and the war ended on the Biblical Feast of Purim the next year, the date when centuries before Israel in Babylon celebrated their deliverance from the attempt of Babylon to kill them all. This is the first war in modern times that Israel won without firing a shot! - (NOTE: On September 11, 1990 President George Bush Sr. went before a joint session of congress to talk about the events in the Persian Gulf and what's at stake. Was it only a coincidence that the largest terrorist attack on the USA happened 11 years later on the same day while President George Bush Jr. was President?!) - (It is further very interesting to note the following: A few observations about the Gulf war.... First, we know that prophecies in Tanach can have a dual, [or more] fulfillment, {The abomination of desolation for example}. With that in mind, I think that the prophecies relating to Babylon have a fulfillment in their first overthrow, then another at the beginning of the judgment of the nations before the Tribulation, - (which I believe we've recently seen), and again at a future time. Note in Isaiah 13a {first part of the chapter, which begins the judgments against the nations, - and in context (at times) clearly expressed as being the end of times as we see in following chapters}: 13:1 The burden against Babylon which Isaiah the son of Amoz saw. *[While I feel that the reff. to 'religious Babylon' in Revelation means another country than the physical Babylon, here in Isaiah I think the prophecy is concerning physical Babylon/Iraq. Remember in Nebechanezar's dream had Babylon as the 'head' of the statue of the nations. Interesting that being at the head, it perhaps is seen as the first to be judged, & this prophecy sits at the head of the prophecies against the nations in this section of Isaiah.] - 13:2 Lift up a banner on the high mountain, Raise your voice to them; Wave your hand, that they may enter the gates of the nobles. *[Possibly a reff. to offering Iraq, many times, the choice to avoid this war, and enter into a noble solution, rather than this war(?)]. - 13:3 I have commanded My sanctified ones; I have also called My mighty ones for My anger - Those who rejoice in My exaltation. - 13:4 The noise of a multitude in the mountains, Like that of many people! A tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered together! The Lord of hosts musters the army for battle. They come 13:5 from a far country, From the end of heaven, Even the Lord and His weapons of indignation, To destroy the whole land. *[Often in of indignation, To destroy the whole land. *[Often in Scripture, nations armies are noted as being directed of the Lord for His purposes. Thus in this war we have just been in, it is the first time we could say many nations fought against one country. In other wars, there have been several nations, fighting several others, but never VERY MANY NATIONS AGAINST ONE NATION. Note: the reff.- 'from a far country' - (the USA?) - 13:6 Wail for the day of the Lord is at hand! It will come as destruction from the Almighty. 13:7 Therefore all hands will be limp, Every man's heart will melt, 13:8 And they will be afraid. Pangs and sorrows will take hold of them; They will be in pain as a woman in childbirth; They will be amazed at one another; There faces will be like flames. *[This reminds me of the shape that we found the Iraqi army in.] 13:9 Behold, the day of the Lord comes, Cruel with both wrath and fierce anger, To lay the land desolate; And He will destroy its sinners with it. *[& indeed the land of Iraq has been laid totally desolate! -- Perhaps more so than any other post-war nation to date.] 13:10 For the stars of heaven and their constellations will not give their light; The sun will be darkened in its going forth, and the moon will not cause its light to shine. *[& again, this is just the condition we saw, due to the oil wells burning, and the sky pollution from the many bombings.] Again, these conditions, [all nations gathered, the light diminished, etc.], were not present during the first overthrow of ancient Babylon. They were during this overthrow. Another interesting thing, the war ended on the Biblical feast of Purim! - [in Esther if you'll remember, when this SAME PHYSICAL COUNTRY (that is: in including the Iraqi area) threatened to wipe out all the Jews the plot was defeated on this SAME DAY, and it became the Biblical feast of Purim]. And we have just seen the same thing during our life-time! One more interesting point... this is the first war that Israel has been involved in, since Biblical times, that she has ended up on the winning side without firing a shot! I feel that we may have left the labor room - [beginning of birth-pangs], and entered the delivery room! Actually, the announcement came from President Bush for Feb. 27th at midnight EST. Given the fact that Israel is 8 hours ahead of us MST, and that Purim starts sundown the day before, it would have been 6 AM the morning of Purim in Israel when the fighting stopped! I also found it interesting that the Iraqi planes kept by Iran were right outside of Shushan. MNV)
1991 & on...: From this time and on we increasingly hear government leaders using such statements as: new world order, one world government, global government, etc....
1991 & on....: Disease starts to increase world-wide, but of particular note from this time on are: the "flesh-eating" disease - Streptococcus B - never seen before; and the Gulf-War syndrome, etc....
1991 & on....: Many global trade agreements are introduced and passed worldwide.
[1,1993-1,2001: Bill Clinton's presidency - (Don't think I even have to elaborate!)]
1993: On the Biblical Feast of Rosh HaShannah, September 13, the Oslo Accord, a seven year "peace" treaty with the PLO/PA murders of Israel, contrary to Scripture was entered into by the USA, Israel, and The Federation of Russia, through Clinton Arafat and Rabin. But PA/Arab Terrorists attacks still continued against Israel from this time on. - (NOTE: This peace treaty was originally called the "Peace and Security Agreement". - Consider that in light of the following verse and several other Prophetic Verses in the Bible that address this aspect - "While they are saying, "Peace and security!" then destruction will come upon them suddenly." 1 Thessalonians 5:3. Another somewhat interesting side-note: It was later called the Oslo I & II accord, it was the ONLY 7 year peace covenant in all of history. It was witnessed by 3000 people, the largest crowd ever to attend the White House. Interestingly this is the same number that died when Moses brought the Law down from the mountain as the people had entered into sin.)
1994: In the early morning of January 17 a magnitude 6.8 earthquake shook the Los Angeles area. - At that time, because of the damage, this was considered "the costliest natural disaster in USA history." - (There have been many articles written correlating natural disasters from this date onward, that have occurred in the USA and abroad, either timed with or sometime after the USA and other governments have made anti-Israel edicts or decisions, but including here such a detailed analysis is beyond the scope of this article.)
1995: On November 5 the shooting death of the PM of Israel Rabin occurred during the very Shabbat that his death was foretold in Scripture (by a certain way of reading the weekly Torah [O.T.] portion of the Bible) that very week! The weekly reading order of these portions has been occurring in Synagogues for centuries. -(While this subject is too lengthy to be treated in this article, you can read more about it in the 'other documents' section at: www.YHVH.vze.com/ or at: www.ortzion.org/Jacob_wrst10A.html )
1997: Comet Hale-Bopp appears - and a bunch of deceived idiots kill themselves. -(NOTE: this is the wrong way to look at a sign!)
2000: 1/1 - Due to a somewhat general apprehension over the "start of the millennium", and due to prior events that had occurred appearing to increasingly fulfill Biblical prophecy, and also partially because of a slight hysteria promoted by the media over fear of world-wide computer failure (a valid fear had it not been quickly addressed by computer programmers worldwide), many who were already into a "survivalist" mode stocked up even more - and many others who weren't into survivalism before this, also started stocking up. - When nothing happened this latter group got discouraged and ate their food storage :-) - Seriously though, however ironic, things really did begin to escalate after this date anyway....
2000: George W. Bush Jr. wins the Presidential election, after a one vote margin in the Supreme Court ruling concerning counting of the "chads"-(gosh! was I ever tired of hearing that word before it was over!) Considering the alternative - Gore -(imagine Gore in charge right after 9/11 ! ) many considered this a direct answer to prayer - (if nothing else from the sickening Democratic-party's display in Florida.) -(How does this relate to the subject at hand? - I just decided to include it in this time-line anyway.)
2000 & on: In Feb. China begins a series of threats against the USA, including saying that they would nuke Hollywood if we interfere in their military plans for Taiwan. Also China forced an emergency landing and captured our surveillance aircraft. China's rhetoric has only toned down somewhat recently, but build up of their military forces with a view towards conquering Taiwan continue.
2000: In September on Rosh HaShannah 2000, seven years after the Rabin "peace" treaty, PM Sharon was accompanied by many and entered the Temple Mount - Sharon read from Scripture: since then the Palestinians have not ceased to attack Israel, which continues to this very day in the current war by the PA. On March 22, 2001 [the 27th of Adar, 5761] Rosh Kodesh Nisan (Beginning of Nisan - the start of the prophetic year in Scripture) all 27 of the leading orthodox rabbis and Chassidic sages in Israel formally recognized the beginning of the: "time of Jacob's trouble." - (Almost a miracle in itself - to get 27 of the leading rabbis and sages in Israel to jointly agree on anything together! :-)
2000: Noah's Ark - In Nov. we see dramatic new photographs of the location -(first photographed during a routine U.S. Air Force mission over Turkey on June 17, 1949 - and the object of several expeditions)- stated to be the resting place of Noah's Ark. (More info at: www.insightmag.com/archive/200011218.shtml and at 'Biblical discovery' section at: www.YHVH.vze.com/ )
2000: The USA - long time supporter in the UN of Israel, in a UN resolution rebuke votes against Israel for the first time! - And almost every other nation voted the same way as the USA.
2001: 1/1 The actual start of the millennium begins -(2000 was part of the 20th century). Interest is again peaked in Biblical Prophecy noting the situation in Israel and across the world, and being somewhere close to the 6000th year since creation began -(as various Biblical scholars calculate it), and the second-day - 2000 years - since the birth of Yeshua/Jesus Messiah. (2,000 years = 2 days, as in the Biblical understanding of: a 1000 years being as a day unto God as mentioned in Scripture. Noting various things, such as the verse ...on the third day He shall raise us up [paraphrased], and ancient Rabbinic sayings such as: 6 days of creation, and 6000 years till the reign of Messiah - 2 days without Torah/Law, 2 days with Torah/Law, and two days of The Messiah - and a 1000 years with The Messiah reigning on the earth [paraphrased]. This is a very interesting study in and of itself, but is outside the limits of this article, though you can read more about it and other related topics at: www.YHVH.vze.com/ ) But instead of seeing world events cooling off, far from it, things now really begin to take off!
2001: On April 5th the extremely rare event of the birth of a completely pure colored (not one hair of a different color) Red Heifer occurred in Israel. Israel hasn't had the ashes of the Red Heifer for almost 2,000 years since the destruction of the Temple by Rome. The ashes of the Red Heifer is the first thing necessary for the Temple sacrifices to resume as commanded in the Torah/Law of God given to Moses. While this may not have meant much to the average Gentile Christian, let me assure you it did not go unnoticed among Rabbinic Jews. Add to this that we have also seen repeated attempts by the "Temple Mount Faithful" to lay the corner-stone to the New Temple in Jerusalem, the Jewish Cohanim/Priests are currently being trained for the Temple duties, the articles of worship as they were in the prior Temple have been manufactured, even the very stones for the new Temple have been quarried! (More info at: www.templeinstitute.org/current-events/RedHeifer/index.html )
2001: 9/11 - As the USA was for the 1st time preparing to take their own anti-Israeli/Jerusalem resolution to the UN, the tragic events of 9/11 occur. Much has been written how this fore-shadowed many prophetic Scriptures in the Bible. The USA then went forth conquering and to conquer, Afghanistan, Iraq... and where it will lead only God fully knows. It's even been suggested that the 1st seal white horse that went forth conquering and to conquer, as we read about in the Book of Revelation in the Bible, could be the USA set in motion.
2001 & on....: Many prophecies visions and dreams are again given concerning the USA and Israel and the world in general, some by well know evangelists, as well as prior prophecies having been given earlier by well know figures appear as starting to be fulfilled, or else on the verge of being fulfilled as related to current events. -(For example it's interesting to note that while France has been somewhat anti-American for decades yet mostly in the background - we now see, as mentioned in Dumitru Duduman's prophecies concerning America, France coming to the forefront in their anti-USA stance.)
2001 & on...: Murderous terrorists attacks against the Jewish people, mostly in - but also outside of Israel - increase and continue to increase till this very day. Murder and persecution against Christians escalates world wide, in Arab nations, China, Indonesia, Africa, etc.... The censoring of Judaic-Christian Belief in public increases dramatically, such as publicly quoting Bible passages that show homosexuality to be sin is now considered a hate crime in Canada, etc.... -(All right in line with Prophecy in the Bible.)
2001 & on....: Israeli leadership and Jews in general begin to note for the first time in the media that the Evangelical Christians are among their strongest supporters of Israel's few supporters worldwide. -(noting several things: the way votes and statements start to go in the USA congress, public Christian leaders statements supporting Israel, direct support in various ways, etc....) Increasingly American Jews begin to vote Republican for the first time.
2001 & on....: Various laws are passed both here in the USA and across the world that increase governments surveillance of all citizens, and begin to further restrict peoples rights. Statements are increasingly heard from government officials stating in essence that: there will have to be a curtailing of certain rights in order to bring about security.
2001 & on....: Cloning and genetic-engineering increasingly come to light, a Torah violation and an abomination!
2001 & on....: Various diseases crop up world-wide and are on the increase unto this very day, in areas of the world where they've never seen before, in both unknown types and sometimes of completely unknown genetic makeup. A few viruses suggest genetic-engineering and/or bio-warfare agents - this is written about in several articles.
2002: 1/1 The European Economic Community, The United States Of Europe, becomes official. The very first flag/symbol of the EU was 10 stars surrounding one star. - Many scholars feel that the EU are the 10 kings spoken of in Scripture. Regardless, by and large mostly long since apostate, we see almost a total disregard for any Judeo-Christian Biblical morals from most of these countries. - Most of the EU countries also are showing themselves at a more advanced state of totally taking control of peoples God-given rights than even many of the former USSR satellite nations. With few exceptions there is rampant anti-Semitism and/or anti-Israeli stances in the EU; and with the partial exception of England, there is also very much of an increasingly anti-USA sentiment shown in most of the EU countries.
2002: The day before Nissan 1 5762 [Tues. March 12, 2002] - the U.S.A. introduced into the U.N. an anti-Israel/Jerusalem resolution condemning Israel and their "violence" against the PLO, and calling for a Palestinian State. The USA now has now turned the corner from almost unwavering support of Israel - to a stance of joining, even leading, in the condemnation of Israel before the United Nations. I believe the timing was significant - being the last day before the beginning of the Prophetic year of Nissan. -(I believer that it was also significant that there were 100,000 demonstrating in Israel against the pro-PLO stance, and millions praying world-wide for Israel on Nissan 1 {Rosh Kodesh starting Wed. evening} .) We read in Scripture the very many prophecies, shown in context, that speak to the condition of the world in the 'end-times'. Not only because of LAWlessness increasing in the world and even in the "Church" in the end-times, - but also because of the nations disputing about Israel's borders/territories (KJV/NAS respectively), boastful threats against Israel, and the overall unGodly treatment by the nations against God's chosen people the Jews is another of the main things that bring about Judgment from God on the world in the end-times. The Bible also states that this would come about when all the nations turn against Israel - and in this UN vote by all the nations, and the daily threatening and demands against Israel by the world - we've arrived at that point in history folks! The "Church" was told to pray and intercede for the House of Israel, His heritage - those who for centuries preserved for us the Holy Bible - of whom Paul declares that in the end: All Israel shall be Saved. And not to boast against nor mistreat them - but pray for them - for the grafting in of the branches that were broken. - Yet today, a survey stated that 40 percent of Evangelical Christians - (the very ones who should know the Bible well and know better) - are anti-Israel and hence pro-PA/PLO! -(I personally think that figure in the survey was too high - but the percentage should be 0 - none!) [Carefully/prayerfully read the entire short Book of Zephaniah in the Tanakh/O.T. to see but one of many many examples in the Bible where God's wrath falls in Judgment on the nations for their being against Israel, the Jews, and His Land.]
2002: During the week of May 9th 2002 the worlds attention was focused on the violent takeover then exit of the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem Israel by the Palestinian terrorists. While this was going on, the USA, Russia and the EU were trying to shove a "peace" treaty down Israel's throat. And while these events were occurring, overhead in Israel could be seen: In the beginning of this week the five planets - Mercury, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn and Venus are in a triangular formation only 33 degrees apart, and later in the week this display is joined by the crescent moon combined with Venus the brightest planet within a fraction of a degree of the moon - (a sight seldom seen that has inspired the design of many flags in the Muslim world, including those of Turkey, Malaysia and Pakistan.) - And to top it all off a blue-tailed-comet (Ikeya-Zhang's) is visible in the sky during this very same week! You know folks, the Bible says in the end- times that YHVH would show signs, and wonders in the heavens. - Of course every time a sign or wonder shows in the sky people debate whether it is really a sign or not - or if it is - what could it possibly mean? Perhaps this time these events in the sky were to draw peoples gaze back to a time farther distant -- consider the contrast of these two events: A Child was born nearly 2,000 years ago under a star in Bethlehem to bring True and Pure Shalom/Peace on earth to man. - Nearly 2,000 years later the nations are demanding Israel embrace in "peace" UNREPENTANT ones who have been MURDERING them! - and then the nations further demand that Israel reward them with giving them a large portion of their tiny Land! - The very Land given to Israel by decree in the Bible from God! - And the nations are even demanding it of Israel during this very time while those same murderous men just took over the Church of the Nativity - and to make it even worse - certain heretical and cold "Christian" leadership were standing to applaud those palestinians violent efforts that week! - This is the "peace" the world offers! No thanks! - I'll take the Shalom/Peace that the Child of Bethlehem gives - the One of Whom the angel of YHVH declared: you shall call His Name Yeshua/(Jesus) - SALVATION!
2002: April, Another comet (Utsunomiya) passes the earth. -(Significance? I don't know, God knows.)
2002: Third "moon" discovered orbiting the Earth? Much uncertainty surrounds the mysterious object, designated J002E3. It could be a passing chunk of rock captured by the Earth's gravity, or it could be a discarded rocket casing coming back to our region of space. If it is determined that J002E3 is natural it will become Earth's third natural satellite. Earth's second one is called Cruithne. - It was discovered in 1986 and it takes a convoluted horseshoe path around our planet as it is tossed about by the Earth's and the Moon's gravity. More info at: news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/2251386.stm - (So how does this relate to the subject at hand? - I just decided to include it in this time-line anyway as it's interesting. :-)
2002: On July 4th water for the first time begins seeping from the Western/Wailing Wall in Jerusalem on the Temple mount. This is seen by many to be a sign of the soon coming of Messiah. There are many prophecies about water flowing from the Temple Mount in the Bible. -(Perhaps one by analogy might dare to surmise that this flow started with weeping over a long time friend - but who is now drifting away - the USA. )
2003: In May the Road map to peace [hell !] is formally introduced (Some have even written of this road-map calling it the "final solution" - anyone remember that term being used by the nazi's in WWII concerning killing all the Jews?! - ironic? - or just tragic!) The USA, England, Russia, the EU and all the nations begin demanding the breakup of Israel and Jerusalem to give a portion of the Land to those who murder innocent Israeli citizens!, - and these murderers are part of the very same enemies that the USA itself is fighting! Besides being absolutely illogical and hypocritical - this measure is entirely against the Bible!
2003: In June, the first homosexual marriage license was issued in North America in Canada. U.S. pastor: Partner and I will 'fly to Canada to be legally married' ! abomination!
2003: In June, San Francisco (dpa) reports: - Huge swarms of hungry grasshoppers have invaded the western United States, prompting agricultural experts to warn of damage unparalleled in decades.
2003: In June, the USA Supreme Court strikes down Texas sodomy law - Seen as creation of right to 'gay' sex, Scalia: Justices entered 'culture war' - this results in the removal of the remaining states anti-sodomy laws! abomination! Since that time homosexual themes have rapidly increased everywhere, in sitcoms, in print, lesbians kissing on TV, etc....
2003: Warnings from and to the USA with Syria, Iran, Korea even Cuba keep happening more and more. Korea almost daily it seems states that it will nuke the USA.
2003: In Russia Putin begins increasingly introducing again communist style control of the people.
2003: August. Mars makes it's closest approach to earth ever. - A 'generic' sign in the sky? - Regardless this 'sign' is taken by the pagan false-religions as a sign to them. However, the events that surrounded this event were very significant - 10 Commandments ordered out of public building by Federal court, homosexual bishop appointed by Anglican church. And many Jews and Christians were allowed on the Temple Mount to hold only the 2nd Holy Day event, (Rosh Kodesh), in nearly 2,000 years!
2003: September. The day before the Biblical Holy Day of Rosh HaShannah a portion of Temple Mount wall collapses! - and on the same day: The muslims then blame Israel for it because of the failure of an al-aqsa mosque interior wall!
2003: Terrorists attacks increase daily in Iraq to whereas now more US forces have been killed since the USA has taken control of [mystery] Babylon then when the USA took it over in war.
2003: Israel attacks Syria, both sides threaten major escalation, Iran threatens Israel if they attack their nuclear sites, very unusual hurricane breaks normal weather pattern for east coast hurricanes and heads straight inland from Washington DC and southward. Largest wildfires ever hit California - at least 1 of the fires was set by a terrorist, etc., etc., etc....!
2003: November. Even a Russian expedition to the Mountains of Ararat claims having discovered Noah's Ark on Mountains of Ararat! www.ansa.it/ansalatina/notizie/rubriche/variedades/20031101123032741138.html
2003: November. After the sun sets off 10 huge solar flares in a short time period (even 2 in a row is highly unusual!) - and at the same time of the last gigantic solar flare going off which was by far the biggest ever recorded - the USA Supreme Court refuses to hear the 10 Commandments case - in essence saying: separate the USA from God's Laws - God's Laws are illegal to be publicly displayed in the USA!; and also at the same time the episcopalian church in America consecrate the prior appointed homosexual bishop with their laying on of [unholy]-hands! abomination! -(Most I'm sure have noticed the increase in LAWlessness not only in the world, but in a portion of the "Church" that is becoming increasingly apostate - false doctrines, and damaging dogmas, fornication, sexual perversion, divorce, and etc., are everywhere and getting worse! One will say: I hold to Grace and throw-out Law/Torah - another will say: I hold to Torah/Law and throw-out Grace - and both fall into a ditch! - For we are saved by Grace through Faith and not of works lest man should boast - yet - Faith without Works is dead and stands alone! In the first century AD/Ce perhaps it could have been laid at the doorstep of some Believers that legalism was their stumbling-block - but now days in this century it isn't legalism that is the main problem - it's LAWlessness! Now some will say: yea but those are the tares - doesn't effect me - I'm wheat! - Yet as times wax worse and worse iniquity is even piling itself high against True Believers to get them to stumble or compromise their walk - take heed! Read the account prayerfully in Revelation about the Church of Ladeocia - and see if that doesn't speak to the condition of many in the "Church" of today.
2003: November. A full solar eclipse and the second full lunar eclipse of the year are to occur in November during the month of ramadan. (While it might with all the events going on in the world remind us as a fore-shadow of the certain passages in the Bible such as: Joel 2:31 - "The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of YHVH come.") These events are being taken seriously by several murderous sects of islamic/muslim fanatics worldwide as being their time, (to do even more so than they already have been): completely destroy Israel, the USA, and to take over the world. Yet we as Believers in Yeshua Messiah should not fear, but be strong in YHVH and in the power of His might, and declare: YHVH is my Light and my Salvation; whom shall I fear? YHVH is the Strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell. Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident. Ps.27:1-3

But planetary dynamics mean that we are right in a splurge of them: there were two in 2003 and there will be a fourth on October 28.... ...Blazing across the heavens will be two fiery stars (3, third visible comet discovered days later by accident!) -- the first comets of the Millennium that are expected to be visible by the naked eye.... ...two major comets, both of them spotted only within the last few years, will be sliding into position for good viewing from Earth as they race past us on their elliptical track around the Sun.... ...Comet NEAT will be at its closest on May 6, coming within 48,020,000 kilometers (30,013,000 miles) of Earth, while LINEAR's nearest approach will be on May 19, at 39,790,000 kms (24,870,000 miles).... ...These are the preludes for June 8, when Venus, the Solar System's second planet, will be directly aligned between Earth and Sun. Venus will be visible as a tiny black dot crawling over the face of the Sun -- and for that reason, proper eye protection is an absolute must. "This 'Venus Transmit' happened last time in 1882," says Richard West of the European Southern Observatory (ESO). "It now provides a vast public in Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia the opportunity for a unique experience." story.news.yahoo.com/newstmpl=story&cid=1504&ncid=1504&e=10&u=/afp/20040427/ts_afp/space_astronomy_040427064827

On the very day, according to the Biblical/Jewish calendar (10/28/04 - 14 Cheshvan 5765), that PM Rabin was assassinated in 1995 - Arafat also became deathly ill and briefly went into a coma and was transported to a hospital in France. Then Thursday 11/04 - Arafat died "clinically" and only his body is artificially on life-support on the anniversary of the very same day, according to the world's secular calendar, that Rabin was assassinated -(PA officials have tried to downplay his "death", his being artificially on life-support, - though several sources: Prime Minister Jean-Claude Juncker's statement, Israeli Intel., etc..., have confirmed that he indeed died on Thurs.. - The PA had also earlier that they wouldn't announce his death till 72 hours later to allow for transition in Gaza.) The day Arafat first became deathly ill was also the very day that Jordan formally signed a peace accord with Israel exactly ten years ago on the Biblical/Israeli calendar. On Rosh HaShannah September 13th, 1993 a 7 year (unGodly) covenant, the Oslo Accord, was signed between Yassir Arafat and Yitzchak Rabin - exactly 7 years to the day on Rosh HaShannah 2000, the current on-going war with the PA began. -(30 days later there was a joint issued statement by all the Rabbinic authorities in Israel that Israel had just entered into the time of "Jacob's Trouble".) They (Rabin & Arafat) are now both dead. There are also very many unusual and even Biblical circumstances that surrounded Rabin's assassination - you can read more on this at: www.geocities.com/onein3yhvh3inone/RabinProphecyEndOfTheAge.html . There also appears to be many NWO circumstances surrounding the Rabin assassination - you can read more about this on Barry Camish's Web Site . ...Many expect the chaos that has been recently escalating in the Palestinian zones to explode when he (Arafat) finally dies, with the likelihood that a bloody power struggle, and possibly even a civil war, will follow.... -(Statement in the WarReport of 10/28/04 from the DAVID DOLAN newsletter ddolan@grmi.org )]; Strong Earthquake Hits Northern Japan (again!); Icelandic volcano called 'incredible sight' - 'Mesmerizing' 8-mile-high plume spreading across the Atlantic; Dollar falls daily in value globally - as Gold and Silver gain increases; Solar activity increases yet again; Bush to legalise millions of illegal aliens; Ranier Quake Biggest in 30 Years; Arafat - One of the worst terrorist mass-murderers in history dies - and much of the world cries & mourns his death!; .News Alert: Will Arafat's Death Lead to a Significant US Role in the Acceleration of End-time Prophecy? ; World Leaders Mourn (mass murderer) Arafat at Funeral - AP ; Pope, Bush invoke 'blessing' concerning Arafat;. 20 World Earthquakes 5.0 and Higher in 48 Hours - USGS - Since world began their gushing love-wake for mass-murderer Arafat; Global/NWO plans expand world-wide; Cloning, Genetic Engineering, Homosexuality, anti-Christian and anti-Jewish attacks out of control globally; China is in midst of massive military buildup to attack Taiwan; Volcano Erupts in Southern Colombia, Ignites Fires; Ukraine on the brink of Civil War - Russia lashes out at U.S.; Economic 'Armageddon' Predicted - collapse of U.S. dollar; Locust: Isreal suffers biblical plague; and on and on and on!...
NOTE: The bottom line is folks - since mid-2004 things now are happening at such a breath-taking pace I can't in an Email such as this even begin to address what's happening! - It would take a book just for the last year (2004) alone. I've merely tried to skim a few of the headlines to give you a brief overview of 2004. - If you look at the progression since WWII/1948 - hopefully you'll see a pattern!
This is by no means an exhaustive list. - There are many more direct fulfillments of Prophecies since 1948, and partial fore-shadow-type fulfillments, and various events happening - and while not all of these occurrences are directly addressed in Scripture - increasingly more and more every day they all point to the Day of YHVH being at the door.
Hopefully this has helped with just one question you might ask yourself.... Am I ready for the return of Yeshua/Jesus The Messiah?
Please feel free to forward this to whoever you feel led to.
Shalom
