This page is supplemental to the HIStory, Our Future: Pearls for the Bride Bible study. It is meant to organize information in a quick, easy-to-read format which shows further supporting evidence from world politics and current news that confirms and strengthens the conclusions I have come to from my research and Bible study. As you have seen in studying the other sections of the HIStory, Our Future study, the timeline places the abomination of desolation on February 16, 2009. That so many world nations are having political shifts and plans beginning in 2009 and 2010 should be looked at seriously as possible fulfillment of Bible prophecy in progress right now! I share these things with you, the body of Christ to awaken the bride to the times in which she lives and the nearness of our Lord's return for us.

The Coming Times

An overview of my study of current events and Bible prophecy can be read in an article called The Coming Times: 2008 & Beyond while a more detailed examination of the sequence of events as I understand them is found here. As I continue to watch the news, it seems that several of the seals broken in Revelation 6 are building to possible fulfillment in the news and so I want to link the relevant information here as supporting evidence for the timeline of the HIStory, Our Future studies.


The 2009/2010 Transition

The Treaty of Lisbon Watchman Bible Study (December 17, 2007) - This collection of information regarding the building war on religious fundamentalism and the military and civilian resources built into law to deal with it and power over them shifting toward Javier Solana. Read Constance Cumbey, Bjorn (farmer), Richard Peterson and Fulfilled Prophecy for more detailed, focused and up-to-date information on these developments. On the political end, this is confirming the conclusions of the HIStory, Our Future timeline of events leading to an abomination of desolation in 2009. Still learning about this, keep watching!

The following events transpire in the 2009/2010 timeframe. This information was taken from Fulfilled Prophecy where there is a 2010-2014 rolling calendar tracking these events. I believe this further supports the conclusions arrived at from Bible prophecy through the plans of world-wide governmental bodies that show a distinct transition in global politics, all surrounding the years following the abomination of desolation according to the Bible study you have read through.

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


EU foreign policy expected to enter 'new era' EU Observer (April 6, 2008) - The European Parliament is seeking to bolster its role in the bloc's common foreign and security policy (CFSP), with senior MEPs saying it is time for Europe to become a "player and not just a payer" on the world stage. Polish centre-right MEP and head of the foreign affairs committee, Jacek Saryusz-Wolski, says that EU foreign is moving "from one era to another" with the new Lisbon Treaty, due to kick in next year. The proposed new EU foreign minister and diplomatic service as well as the possibility for a group of member states to move ahead in defence cooperation mean foreign policy is "one of the most innovative parts of the treaty." The fact that Javier Solana, the EU's foreign policy chief, will for the first time be present at the MEPs' annual debate on CFSP on Wednesday (4 June) is in itself a "turning point," said the Pole at a briefing on Tuesday. Euro-deputies will today debate a report that sets out principles for the EU's foreign policy - such as respect for human rights - calls for certain issues to be prioritised and says that the CFSP budget from now until 2013 is "insufficient." "Either we have to beef up foreign policy financially, or we have to rethink whether we really want to be a global player," said Mr Saryusz-Wolski, who next week will travel to Paris to discuss the issue with the incoming French EU presidency. "We ask why is nothing ready, prepared for the events that will happen if the treaty [comes into force], and we haven't had an answer," he said. "We are asking this question also: do you have any hidden reserves? What's your view? How to finance the new set up? No answer."

Democratic oversight

The report also calls for parliament to be given greater democratic oversight over the area, which to date has remained firmly the domain of member states. It suggests that the foreign minister "regularly" appear before MEPs and that the parliament be "fully consulted" on who the foreign minister should be, as well as what the diplomatic service should look like. Deputies are also urging the future EU foreign minister to inform the parliament before any "common actions" are taken. "If we start sending soldiers into danger, it is up to the parliament to give its blessing," says Mr Saryusz-Wolski. The report also takes a more long-term view of the future of common foreign and security policy, with the head of the foreign affairs committee urging the bloc to stop acting like a "fire brigade" rushing to put out emergencies here and there and to think more of the "long-term strategic interests of the Union…20–30 years ahead."

EU army

Mr Saryusz-Wolski, who believes the union will gradually develop its own army, says it is no longer enough that the bloc exercises its traditional role as a soft power. "Too often we spend money without any conditions being attached. I am against Europe being a payer and not a player," he said. But he admits there is a "fear" in the parliament that the foreign minister and the new permanent president of the European Council may add to the trill of voices of on the EU stage all claiming to speak for Europe and may not turn Europe into a player. The potential for overlap between the two posts – starting in January - and for rivalry with the European Commission president is high. Debates on the posts are expected to start in earnest in autumn and be wrapped up by December. In time-honoured EU fashion, balancing who wins the posts will have to involve the consideration of a series of factors, including nationality, whether a candidate comes from an old or new member state or a small or big member state, and the person's political hue.

Olmert, Israel's Prime Minister, intends to set final borders by 2010


American Presidential power transition on January 20, 2009 - The significance of the exiting of President Bush from the White House in January, 2009 caught my eye. The HIStory, Our Future studies lead to the abomination of desolation and the rise of the antichrist is February 16,2009. If that is the case, our nation's new leadership will have just taken power for 27 days when the future ruler of the world under Lucifer declares himself god in a rebuilt temple. Revelation 13:4, "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?" How convenient will that be!?

SOUTHEASTERN ANATOLIA PROJECT (AKA GAP) - In the 1930s, Mustafa Kamal Ataturk, the founder of the Turkish Republic, enacted policies to survey Turkey’s rivers for energy as a means to meet the nation’s growing electricity demands. Gauging stations along the Euphrates and Tigris rivers were established, and geological, topographical, and groundwater surveys were conducted to maximize both the surface and subsurface water resources within the basins. By the 1950s, reconnaissance surveys were extended to Turkey’s 26 different river basins to develop energy and irrigation potential within all river basins. During the 1960s and 1970s, separate water resources plans to develop the Euphrates and Tigris rivers were drawn, which in 1977 were merged into one water resources development project called the Southeast Anatolian Project. In the 1980s, the Keban and Karakaya Dams along the upper Euphrates river were developed and the Southeast Anatolia Project was later expanded into a multi-sector project that included not only irrigation and hydropower production, but also urban and rural infrastructure, forestry, education, and health sectors. The multi-sector GAP Master Plan was finalized in 1989 and a separate GAP Administration was established. Construction of the Ataturk Dam was completed in 1990 and irrigation for the GAP started at the end of 1994, when one of the twin Sanliurfa Tunnels from the Ataturk Dam was opened. GAP’s projected completion date is scheduled for 2010, provided current financial difficulties and inflation do not further delay the project. When the GAP is completed, 28.5 percent of the total water potential of the country will be brought under control through facilities along the Euphrates and the Tigris rivers. GAP will irrigate nearly 1.7 million hectares of land, or 20 percent of Turkey’s total irrigable land. Annual energy production from GAP will produce 22 percent of Turkey’s total energy production with an installed energy capacity of 7476 MW.

  • US Doctors Okays Policy Promoting RFID Chipped "Mark of the Beast" Technology jreynolds.itn@comcast.net (June 26, 2007) - The American Medical Association has just adopted a new policy that approves the concept of RFID computer chip implant technology. The new technology is different than the "Angel Chip" implant technology that is now in its infancy phase. "Angel Chip" technology is a passive system that does not give out a radio signal. The new RFID chip technology uses a microscopic radio transmitter and transmits a radio signal much like a radio station only on a smaller scale. The new RFID technology will enable anyone with an implant to be trackable by the government. The new RFID technology is being hailed as a wonderful breakthrough for medical information purposes as well as general identification and protection from kidnappings or the individual becoming lost. The new technology will also be adaptable for an electronic monetary system that would eliminate paper and coined money. In effect, the RFID technology is in reality capable of matching the Biblical prophecies found in Revelation 13 which refers to the "mark of the beast" in which it is stated that no one will be able to buy or sell without this "mark." The Greek term for "mark" can be translated as an "etching" which is the precise word that describes the microscopic circuitry on a computer chip - because it is "etched" onto the chip. RFID technology is already now in use for tagging consumer and industrial products. Wal-Mart and other companies have adopted RFID chip technology to speed up their shipping systems and better track its inventories and just-in-time ordering systems to minimize the chances of running out of stock and or being overstocked. The AMA policy adoption is the first hurdle for the RFID technology. It will have to approved in the USA by the FDA (Food & Drug Administration) but with AMA approval, the FDA will most likely be a rubber-stamp for the technology much like with the "Angel Chip" technology of just two years ago. It would appear now that the only thing holding up implementation of the 6-6-6 implantation policies of humans is:

    #1. government approval of the concept of implantation in humans
    #2. implementation of a new electronic monetary system that eliminates paper/coin money
    #3. mass production of RFID computer chips for human implantation
    #4. The Antichrist himself and his False Prophet to appear and give the mandated order for chip implantation.

    The mass production of RFID computer chips for human implantation may take a year or two of mass production to have enough to chip the entire human population around the globe and to get everyone implanted. At the earliest, we could expect this technology to be in place globally with human implantation in as little as two years (2009) but more likely in 2010 to 2012.

Oil Secrets Coast to Coast AM (December 10, 2007) - Minister Lindsey Williams shared suppressed knowledge regarding oil companies and their supplies, that he said he learned of as a chaplain to Alaskan oil pipeline workers in the 1970s. During this time, he was invited to join a meeting of the top oil company officials, where it was announced they had just discovered the largest oil pool in North America (and possibly the world). The location, under Gull Island, in the waters of Prudhoe Bay in Alaska, would provide more than enough oil and natural gas for the next 200 years, Williams was reportedly told. Yet, the day after the meeting, he was informed that the discovery was "classified," and he later learned that oil companies weren't going to announce the new supply until the price of oil had reached $150 a barrel. Williams said he also found out that crude oil was chosen in the early 1960s as a "method of control," and by having it sold in US currency it helped pay off America's national debt. The fact that oil is not currently being sold in dollars by many countries has contributed to the decline in value of the dollar, he noted, and may pave the way for the 'Amero,' the supposed currency of a North American Union he says will come about in 2010. This is all leading to the New World Order.
 

Economic Cooperation

While economic troubles continue to grow, there is a parallel collaboration between nations in the form of free trade that is working to bring systems into harmonization. It is my belief that this harmonization will facilitate recovery after the planned collapse of the economies over time and bring about the global cashless infrastructure that the mark of the beast will be used in. Without this mark, nobody will be able to buy or sell. With technology providing the means to accomplish this with RFID tattoo ink created by Somark and in use in cattle already, combined with the already introduced RFID "Paypass" style systems, the infrastructure is already in place and all that is needed is a collapse of the current paper-based monetary systems to a fully electronic system that is only accessible through a pledge of loyalty to the man of sin, commonly referred to as the antichrist, and the receiving of his mark that will double as an electronic verification to be able to cooperate in this new cashless system and buy or sell. Those without the mark, will not have any means to buy or sell as businesses will no longer honor expired cash of any type.

Revelation 13:16,17
And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name

“Christ is the same force as Lucifer but moving in seemingly the opposite direction. Lucifer moves in to create the light within through the pressure of experience. Christ moves to release that light, that wisdom, that love into creation... Lucifer, like Christ, stands at the door of man’s consciousness and knocks. If man says, ‘Go away because I do not like what you represent. I am afraid of you,’ Lucifer will play tricks on that fellow. If man says, ‘Come in, and I will give to you the treat of my love and understanding and I will uplift you in the light and presences of the Christ, my outflow,’ then Lucifer becomes something else again. He becomes the being who carries that great treat, the ultimate treat, the light of wisdom. [Lucifer] is the light giver. … He stands no longer as the tester or the tempter but as the great initiator, the one who hands the soul over to the Christ and from the Christ on into even greater realms. … Lucifer works within each of us to bring us to wholeness, and as we move into a New Age, which is the age of man’s wholeness, each of us in some way is brought to that point which I term the Luciferic initiation, the particular doorway through which the individual must pass if he is to come fully into the presence of his light and his wholeness. … At some point each of us faces the presence of Lucifer. We either fear it when we come to grips with what we term ancient evil or the spirit of darkness, or we move throughit and realize that we are each of us light and dark. … When we do accept it, we can emerge into the radiance of our inner light, the light that can never be extinguished. … Lucifer comes to give to us the final gift of wholeness. If we accept it then he is free and we are free. That is the Luciferic initiation. It is one that many people now, and in the days ahead, will be facing, for it is an initiation in the New Age. … In the New Age consciousness there is not good and evil.” | David Spangler, Lorian Association, Reflections on the Christ, Findhorn Publications p. 40, 44-45, Interconnections

Bush Hands Over Reins of U.S. Economy to EU Newsmax (November 19, 2008) - The results of the G-20 economic summit amount to nothing less than the seamless integration of the United States into the European economy. In one month of legislation and one diplomatic meeting, the United States has unilaterally abdicated all the gains for the concept of free markets won by the Reagan administration and surrendered, in total, to the Western European model of socialism, stagnation, and excessive government regulation. Sovereignty is out the window. Without a vote, we are suddenly members of the European Union. Given the dismal record of those nations at creating jobs and sustaining growth, merging with the Europeans is like a partnership with death.

At the G-20 meeting, Bush agreed to subject the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and our other regulatory agencies to the supervision of a global entity that would critique its regulatory standards and demand changes if it felt they were necessary. Bush agreed to create a College of Supervisors. According to The Washington Post, it would "examine the books of major financial institutions that operate across national borders so regulators could begin to have a more complete picture of banks' operations." Their scrutiny would extend to hedge funds and to various "exotic" financial instruments. The International Monetary Fund (IMF), a European-dominated operation, would conduct "regular vigorous reviews" of American financial institutions and practices. The European-dominated College of Supervisors would also weigh in on issues like executive compensation and investment practices.

There is nothing wrong with the substance of this regulation. Experience is showing it is needed. But it is very wrong to delegate these powers to unelected, international institutions with no political accountability. We have a Securities and Exchange Commission appointed by the president and confirmed by the Senate, both of whom are elected by the American people. It is with the SEC, the Treasury, and the Federal Reserve that financial accountability must take place.

The European Union achieved this massive subrogation of American sovereignty the way it usually does, by negotiation, gradual bureaucratic encroachment, and without asking the voters if they approve. What's more, Bush appears to have gone down without a fight, saving his debating time for arguing against the protectionism that France's Nicolas Sarkozy was pushing. By giving Bush a seeming victory on a moratorium against protectionism for one year, Sarkozy was able to slip over his massive scheme for taking over the supervision of the U.S. economy.

All kinds of political agendas are advancing under the cover of responding to the global financial crisis. Where Franklin Roosevelt saved capitalism by regulating it, Bush, to say nothing of Obama, has given the government control over our major financial and insurance institutions. And it isn't even our government! The power has now been transferred to the international community, led by the socialists in the European Union.

Will Obama govern from the left? He doesn't have to. George W. Bush has done all the heavy lifting for him. It was under Bush that the government basically took over as the chief stockholder of our financial institutions and under Bush that we ceded our financial controls to the European Union. In doing so, he has done nothing to preserve what differentiates the vibrant American economy from those dying economies in Europe.

Why have 80 percent of the jobs that have been created since 1980 in the industrialized world been created in the United States? How has America managed to retain its leading 24 percent share of global manufacturing even in the face of the Chinese surge? How has the U.S. GDP risen so high that it essentially equals that of the European Union, whose population is 50 percent greater? It has done so by an absence of stifling regulation, a liberation of capital to flow to innovative businesses, low taxes, and by a low level of unionization that has given business the flexibility to grow and prosper.

Europe, stagnated by taxation and regulation, has grown by a pittance while we have roared ahead. But now Bush — not Obama — Bush has given that all up and caved in to European socialists. The Bush legacy? European socialism. Who needs enemies with friends like Bush?

World has 100 days to fix crisis: EU leaders Economic Times (November 8, 2008) - European Union leaders backed a 100-day deadline by which the world's leading economies should decide urgent global finance reforms, French President Nicolas Sarkozy said on Friday. Sarkozy, who chaired a special meeting of EU nations, said the financial crisis and economic downturn required a quick deal on an overhaul at a Nov 15 summit in Washington bringing together leaders of the world's 20 largest industrialized nations and emerging economies. "We are in an economic crisis. We have to take this into account," Sarkozy said. "We have to react and we have no time to lose." "I'm not going to take part in a summit where there is just talk for talk's sake," Sarkozy told reporters after talks between the heads of the EU's 27 nations.

The EU is calling for a second global summit next spring to flesh out changes to the way the world economy is governed. They want to see far more supervision of big financial companies and are urging governments to jointly monitor them. They want to prevent a repeat of the Wall Street excesses that caused havoc in markets worldwide, and are bringing emerging economies China, India and Brazil on board for talks on shaping a new world economic order.

British Prime Minister Gordon Brown said the Washington talks should be a "decisive moment for the world economy." A text agreed by EU leaders says they want an early warning system that would watch for financial bubbles and prevent "world imbalances'', such as the swelling US trade deficit. They also suggest making the International Monetary Fund the world's financial watchdog, suggesting it be given more power to curb financial crises and give more money to aid countries in trouble.

The Europeans also want to close loopholes that allow some financial institutions to evade regulation, and ensure supervision for all major financial players, including ratings agencies or funds carrying high amounts of debt. The leaders in a declaration called for greater transparency in markets that would no longer omit "vast swathes of financial activity from auditable, certifiable accounts." It also said "excessive risk-taking must be overhauled," a reference to the sale of high-risk debt securities and executive pay that may reward risk-taking.

EU leaders will call on the Nov 15 summit to agree immediately on five principles: submit ratings agencies to more surveillance; align accounting standards; close loopholes; set banking codes of conduct to reduce excessive risk-taking; and ask the International Monetary Fund to suggest ways of calming the turmoil. To date, European governments alone have committed some 2 trillion euros ($2.6 trillion) in cash injections, bank deposit guarantees, interbank loan coverage and partial or full nationalization to prop up consumer and business confidence.

The damage done worldwide is fueling a search for a "new Bretton Woods", a reference to the post-World War II conference that shaped the international financial system. In Washington, there is little desire in the waning days of the Bush administration for a major overhaul of financial regulations. But the United States and European nations are no longer the only players. China and Brazil and India are jumping at the chance to join a major international effort.

G-20 finance officials nations will meet this weekend in Sao Paulo, Brazil, to prepare next week's summit. This may pave the way for emerging economies to play a larger role in global finance talks. France is suggesting bring them on board as members of the exclusive world club of G-8 industrialized nations which regularly meets to discuss the global economy.

Just out of curiosity I decided to take a look at exactly when this timeframe would end as of the date Sarkozy stated it on Friday November 7, 2008. Adding 100 days brings us to February 15, 2009! Now if you haven't read the HIStory, Our Future Bible studies yet or seen the chart this may not be all that interesting so check out the details and see what you think. Coincidence?


Coordinated European action needed to tackle financial crisis says the European Parliament European Parliament (October 22, 2008) - MEPs say the EU needs a coordinated response on a range of fronts in order to tackle the financial crisis and limit its impact on economic growth, jobs and small businesses. In a resolution on last week's EU summit, they also call for measures to improve financial supervision and look at issues from climate change to the Caucasus. The resolution was adopted with 499 votes in favour, 130 against and 67 abstentions.

Parliament stresses the importance of a coordinated macroeconomic response to resuscitate global growth, without undermining the principles of the stability and growth pact. MEPs also want to see coordinated action to restore confidence in the financial markets.

Financial market crisis and the real economy

The crisis, says the resolution, has implications beyond financial markets: for business viability, jobs, personal finance and SMEs. Parliament stresses the paramount importance of ongoing access to credit for citizens and SMEs and of investments in EU infrastructure to avoid a dramatic downturn in growth and employment.

It therefore supports measure to return liquidity to the markets, and the rapid reaction of the Commission in applying state aid rules on measures taken to rescue financial institutions. When public money is spent in this way, say MEPs, it must be accompanied by public oversight, improvements in governance, limitations on remuneration, strong accountability to public authorities and investment strategies for the real economy.

MEPs welcome the setting up by the Commission of a high-level group to consider the future supervisory architecture for EU financial services, but they criticise the lack of Parliamentary involvement in the Commission's "financial crisis cell".

Better supervisory structure for the future

Looking beyond the immediate crisis, MEPs reiterate their calls on the Commission to propose measures to strengthen the EU regulatory and supervisory framework and EU-level crisis management, including on banks, credit rating agencies, securitisation, hedge funds, leverage, transparency, winding-up rules, clearing for over-the-counter markets and crisis prevention.

The Lamfalussy process should be strengthened, including colleges of supervisors for cross-border institutions and a clearer role and legal status for the Level 3 committees (which bring together all the Member States' banking, securities and insurance supervisors). Parliament also wants to see proposals drawn up for effective cross-border crisis management.

Lisbon, climate change, energy, Caucasus conflicts

The resolution also considers other issues arising from the European Council meeting last week. Among other points:

  • Parliament reiterates its respect for the result of the Irish referendum on the Lisbon treaty, and for the results of other countries' ratification procedures, and hopes a solution can be found which is acceptable to all before the European elections in June 2009;
  • MEPs say the financial crisis should not call into question the EU's post-2012 climate targets, though measures taken to meet them should be evaluated with competitiveness in mind;
  • Parliament calls for Commission and Council to pursue the establishment of a common European external policy on energy, and for a stronger political commitment to a low carbon economy;
  • MEPs stress that there cannot be a military solution to the conflicts in the Caucasus, condemn all those who resorted to force to change the situation in the Georgian breakaway territories of South Ossetia and Abkhazia and recall Russia's "disproportionate military action." They call on Russia to respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Georgia.

Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA) Goes Live The 70th Week (February 2, 2008) - If you are familiar with Bible Prophecy then you are aware that towards the middle of the 70th week, the False Prophet will require all to take a mark on their right hand or forehead, and without this mark they will not be able to buy or sell. Who ever does not take this mark and worship the beast will be killed. Many have speculated over the years as to what this will be and what it will look like. Here is a scriptural reference to review.

Revelation 13:15-17
And it was given to him to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast would even speak and cause as many as do not worship the image of the beast to be killed. And he causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free men and the slaves, to be given a mark on their right hand or on their forehead, and he provides that no one will be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of his name.

A couple of days ago the Single Euro Payments Area or SEPA went live. This could be highly significant. You see SEPA is a brand new way to conduct cashless transactions throughout the EU. Not only is this another step in the integration of the EU but it is a huge step towards a single market. If the Anti-Christ and the False Prophet were able to be in charge of this future single market, it would make implementing the mark of the beast that much easier. Is SEPA the beginning or the framework for the Mark of the Beast? Well, time will tell, but one thing is for sure, it is worth watching. Please take the time to read the article below.


SEPA goes live European Central Bank (January 28, 2008) - Speech by Gertrude Tumpel-Gugerell, Member of the Executive Board of the ECB Launch event organised by the European Commission, the European Central Bank and the European Payments Council Brussels. The countdown is over! Today, 28 January 2008, SEPA goes live! I am pleased to welcome you all to the launch of SEPA. First and foremost, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the European Commission for hosting today’s event and for its cooperation over the last few years, the fruit of which can been seen today as SEPA comes to life. Those who have made SEPA a reality, the banks and the service providers are here tonight and I would like to congratulate them all. Let me also mention the work of the Council and the European Parliament that has contributed to making SEPA a reality. Nine years ago we introduced the single currency. Today, we launch SEPA – another important step in European integration. But let me assure you: today is only just the beginning! SEPA is all about integration, harmonisation and modernisation. It is a natural consequence of the single currency and a major step in the creation of the Single Market. That is why the ECB has supported the project closely over the past six years. Today’s launch is the first visible result. A single currency – with a single set of payment instruments – in a single euro payments area. With SEPA, this becomes a reality. And we, as euro area citizens, will be able to make euro payments as cheaply, as easily and as safely as we do national payments. All euro payments will be “domestic”; finally, there will be no difference between sending a payment from Rome to Dublin or from Brussels to Antwerp. We can now make payments not only with euro notes and coins, but harmonised electronic payments by European credit transfer, direct debit and payment card as well. An important milestone has been reached today with the launch of “SEPA Credit Transfer”. We are now able to send euro payments quickly, and in the same way, to any beneficiary in Europe. This will be followed by “SEPA Direct Debit” before the end of 2009. As a result, we will be able to make direct debit payments across Europe, as if no borders existed. With the “SEPA Cards Framework”, extensive changes await the European cards market. The ECB expects a new European card scheme to emerge, harmonising card payments across Europe. That said, efficient national card schemes should not vanish, leaving the cards market entirely to international card schemes. Let’s work together and use the experience of the national schemes to devise a new European card scheme. Together, these three payment instruments make up SEPA, our key to a door behind which many opportunities lie. Once the door is open we will still have a mountain to climb. But if we are willing to take up the challenge and use SEPA with innovative thinking, we can reap the full benefit. Let me stress: we do not envision opening the door only to sit back and admire the great many opportunities on the other side. Let’s climb the mountain, discover the opportunities and progress onwards and upwards. Let’s complement the SEPA instruments with innovative services, such as online and mobile payment initiation, e-invoicing and e-reconciliation. By combining these services with SEPA instruments, we eliminate paper and the payment process becomes fully electronic. End-users will spend less time on payments – and, as we all know, time means money. But how will you benefit from SEPA?

Corporates – make fast European transactions, simplify your payment handling and consolidate your liquidity management. SEPA’s harmonised services can optimise your payment process. So, request these services from your banks and service providers.

Public administrations – you will experience the same benefits as corporates. But that’s not all. SEPA can help drive e-Government and e-procurement, thereby promoting efficient public services. By adopting SEPA at an early stage, you will extend its benefits to society at large.

Consumers – one bank account and one set of payment instruments is all you need. As with euro notes and coins, there will finally be no difference between payments across Europe – all euro payments will be ”domestic”.

And banks – you have developed and will form the basis of SEPA. And SEPA can help you expand your business, as integration and harmonisation will encourage competition. It is now up to you to use the opportunities SEPA brings.

The launch of SEPA today is a major step in creating the Single Market and represents a significant contribution to the Lisbon agenda and a more competitive Europe. It has not been easy to arrive at where we are today – SEPA has been a formidable challenge, but formidable challenges make us stronger. It is not time to sit back in admiration; it is time to use SEPA. So, let’s rise to the challenge; let’s use SEPA, our key; and let’s discover the great many opportunities that lie on the other side of that door.

Please note the planned date of implementation before the end of 2009. If you have read the HIStory, Our Future Bible studies, you will see the possible significance of this timing. Please also keep in mind that if the implementation is ready for Europe by then, you can bet the bankers will be planning ahead to be able to implement this globally as well and with the infrastructure already in place, a global collapse financially could provide the reason. Remember also that this time during the great tribulation the wrath of God will be poured out as well, laid out in the seven trumpets and seven bowls as great upheavals on the earth that will shake what is, possibly helping to bring many to accept this new system, what other choice will they have?

  • The time frame of the SEPA process will be upheld - In the White Paper of May 2002, 42 European banks and the European credit sector associations declared that a full migration to the SEPA would be achieved by the end of 2010. In March 2005, the EPC expressed its conviction that a critical mass of transactions will have migrated to the SEPA payment instruments by 2010, such that the SEPA will be irreversible. However, some banks and other stakeholders have called this deadline into question, stating that a full migration of national to SEPA instruments/schemes by 2010 is unrealistic, and that the modernization and integration process of the retail payment market may extend beyond that date. The Eurosystem has thoroughly investigated these objections and now considers that most of the SEPA objectives, as they are defined in this report, can be implemented by the (end of) 2010 deadline set by the banks in 2002. It is possible that some elements of the project, and in particular those linked to infrastructure changes and the complete phasing-out of national instruments, will not be able to be fully achieved by the end of 2010. However, it is clear that the move has to be irreversible and that the phasing-out of national instruments should be well advanced at the end of 2010. In the Third Progress Report, the Eurosystem put forward a proposal whereby citizens and commercial enterprises should be offered the chance to use pan-European instruments, for national and cross-border payments, as soon as 1 January 2008. This deadline has been widely accepted by banking communities and now constitutes an important milestone in the SEPA"

  • European Constitution Resolution by 2010 (June 18, 2006) - Since Europe's leaders headed home from a two-day summit in the Belgian capital Brussels, most EU watchers have been wondering where the continent is headed. The summit, which wrapped up on Friday, was desperately papering over the cracks of the crisis that has been simmering since the EU's brand new constitution was rejected by French and Dutch voters one year ago. Andrew Duff, British Liberal-Democrat member of the European Parliament, told Aljazeera.net it was "quite a sobering summit. It's a crisis but it's not all a disaster". After a year of so-called reflection since last June, the EU's leaders have put off dealing with the constitution crisis for one more year – calling for a report on possible ways forward next June, with actual necessary steps to be taken by the end of 2008. Irish European expert Anthony Brown comments that "the extended period of reflection was to be expected and demonstrates the growing gap between the various camps on the constitution". Duff agrees: "The leaders are divided between prime ministers from places that have ratified [the constitution], those that haven't and those that can't." The most optimistic outlook has the politicians having negotiated a renamed, re-jigged treaty (no longer a constitution) by the end of 2008. This will then need another two years to be ratified by the 25 member parliaments, with most leaders hoping that this time they can avoid referenda and the risk of more "no" votes. So at best, the crisis over Europe's failed constitution may be resolved by 2010.

Cosmic Rays from Mysterious Source Bombarding Earth Universe Today (November 19, 2008) - Scientists have discovered an unidentified source of high-energy cosmic rays bombarding Earth from space. They say it must be close to the solar system and it could be made of dark matter. "This is a big discovery," says John Wefel of Louisiana State University and Principal Investigator for ATIC, Advanced Thin Ionization Calorimeter, a NASA funded balloon-borne instrument high over Antarctica. "It's the first time we've seen a discrete source of accelerated cosmic rays standing out from the general galactic background."

The new results show an unexpected surplus of cosmic ray electrons at very high energy — 300-800 billion electron volts — that must come from a previously unidentified source or from the annihilation of very exotic theoretical particles used to explain dark matter. "This electron excess cannot be explained by the standard model of cosmic ray origin," said Wefel. "There must be another source relatively near us that is producing these additional particles."

According to the research, this source would need to be within about 3,000 light years of the sun. It could be an exotic object such as a pulsar, mini-quasar, supernova remnant or an intermediate mass black hole. "Cosmic ray electrons lose energy during their journey through the galaxy," said Jim Adams, ATIC research lead at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala. "These losses increase with the energy of the electrons. At the energies measured by our instrument, these energy losses suppress the flow of particles from distant sources, which helps nearby sources stand out."

The scientists point out, however, that there are few such objects close to our solar system. "These results may be the first indication of a very interesting object near our solar system waiting to be studied by other instruments," Wefel said.

An alternative explanation is that the surplus of high energy electrons might result from the annihilation of very exotic particles put forward to explain dark matter. In recent decades, scientists have learned that the kind of material making up the universe around us only accounts for about five percent of its mass composition. Close to 70 percent of the universe is composed of dark energy (so called because its nature is unknown). The remaining 25 percent of the mass acts gravitationally just like regular matter, but does little else, so it is normally not visible.

The nature of dark matter is not understood, but several theories that describe how gravity works at very small, quantum distances predict exotic particles that could be good dark matter candidates. "The annihilation of these exotic particles with each other would produce normal particles such as electrons, positrons, protons and antiprotons that can be observed by scientists," said Eun-Suk Seo, ATIC lead at the University of Maryland, College Park.

The 4,300-pound ATIC experiment is carried to an altitude of about 124,000 feet above Antarctica using a helium-filled balloon about as large as the interior of the New Orleans Superdome. The goal of the project is to study cosmic rays that otherwise would be absorbed into the atmosphere.

Is The Dark Star Bombarding Us With Electrons? I don't know, but if indeed we are nearing the time of the coming day of the Lord and if that indeed involves a brown dwarf star causing the signs of the sixth seal and the timeline of the HIStory, Our Future Bible studies is accurate, perhaps this celestial body coming up from the South ecliptic of the solar system is the mysterious source. I'll be the first to admit that's a lot of ifs, but I have to say what I think considering all the other signs of the times. I don't know, but it's the first thing that came to mind.


The Story Of Our Generation The Jewish Press (April 23, 2008) - We are in the month of Nissan, the month of Redemption. How we yearn for the geulah. As our Exile becomes more painful and our hearts ache with sorrow, grief and fear, many of us find ourselves crying out to our Father in Heaven:

"Tati, we can't take it any more. We cannot cry another tear. We have none left. We're willing to give up all the toys of Exile: the cars, the cell phones, the entertainment, the 'good life' we have learned to pursue ... all of it! Just bring us back to our Holy Land in peace and harmony. Let us immerse ourselves in Your Holy Torah. That's all we want. It is enough!"

Nissan is the month in which Redemption becomes reality. But how do we bring it about? What can we do? On April 8, 2009, a little less than a year from now, we will recite Birkas haChama, the Blessing on the Sun. Our rabbis have instituted this prayer to be said every twenty-eight years when the sun returns to the exact position it occupied relative to the earth at the moment of original Creation. But that's not all. Occasionally, a few times throughout history, Birkas haChama has fallen on the 14th of Nissan, the day before Passover. One of those times was directly before Yetzias Mitzraim, the Exodus from Egypt. Another time was directly before the original miracle of Purim. The next time will be ... next year.

According to the Kadosh Elyon, the Ostrovster Admor, this will be the very last time in history that Birkas haChama can fall on the day before Passover and that, "shortly afterward, the Redemption must come." That's right - the cosmic event that preceded the two greatest Salvations in the history of the world will take place again next year.

We know the Children of Israel are chosen by God to be His emissaries in the world, to live by His Torah in the Holy Land. Why is it that we are universally hated, reviled, cursed and attacked? Why are we the universal scapegoat? Why is the entire world shooting words, bullets and missiles at us? Why? Because the world's peoples are trying to kill God Himself, trying to free themselves from moral restraints in order to carry on their depraved lifestyles. They can't reach God, however, so they attack His emissaries.

But we seem so helpless, so weak, so powerless. What can we do? Look at the events of Passover. The Children of Israel were subjugated and enslaved, victims of the "superpower" Egypt. No one could challenge the "mighty" Pharaoh. Then came a man named Moses, a servant of the Almighty. God ruled that Egypt must fall, and Egypt came down like a pile of matchsticks or a house constructed of playing cards. The mighty nation disintegrated before anyone knew what was happening. What had seemed the ultimate power, a civilization that would never end, blew away like a puff of smoke.

We must not be blind to the signs that are before our eyes. Did we not see the World Trade Center topple in seconds? Did we not witness the mighty economic structure of Bear Stearns falling apart before our eyes? Did not the powerful governor of one of our great states fall in the blink of an eye? These were mighty structures and mighty men.

I am not casting aspersions on any man nor making any moral judgments. There but for the grace of God go any of us. Yet we must know that to assume the invincibility of anything but Almighty God and His Torah is to depend upon straw. Egypt became a shambles and its great army drowned in the Red Sea. The nations of the world who strut in today's sunlight are ephemeral creations in the Eternity of God's Reality.

We must know that God is preparing great acts that, with His mercy, we will see in our lifetime. Cosmic events greater than the power of any man to control are unfolding. We cannot stop them, but, if we stick like glue to God and His Torah, we will live through them and enter a new existence so great as to be the stuff of our dreams.

Psalm 126
When God will return the captivity of Zion, we will be like dreamers. Then our mouth will be filled with laughter and our tongue with glad song. Then they will declare among the nations, "God has done greatly with these."

Not even the mightiest of men could stop the collapse of the mighty fortress of Egypt, and no one can stop this process. When God desires to liberate His children, no man or nation can stand in the way. Whoever believes the Muslim or Western nations are strong is incorrect. They are twigs that will soon blow away in the mighty wind God is preparing.

Psalm 48
For behold, the kings assembled, they came together. They saw and they were astounded. They were confounded and hastily fled. Trembling gripped them there, convulsions like a woman in birth travail. With an east wind you smashed the ships of Tarshish.

When the Blessing on the Sun occurs on the 14th of Nissan, not only does the sun return to its original position relative to the earth; in addition, the moon is full. Both Great Lights are in the position they occupied at the very moment of their Creation.

Every month we say the following Kiddush Levana prayer: "May it be Your will, my God and the God of my forefathers, to fill the flaw of the moon that there be no diminution in it. May the light of the moon be like the light of the sun and like the light of the seven days of creation, as it was before it was diminished, as it is said, 'The two great luminaries.' And may there be fulfilled upon us the verse that is written: They shall seek God, their God and David, their king. Amen."

When the blessing of the sun occurs on the 14th of Nissan, the universe is in exactly the same alignment as at the moment when God created this world. Then the earth was new and pure, untouched by corruption, a world of perfect sanctity, perfect law, perfect alignment between man and his Creator. This was the moment of original redemption, when God created perfect order out of chaos.

Nations of the world that dare to torture God 's chosen emissaries and challenge our eternal right to dwell in our Holy Land in peace, beware - the fate of Egypt will be yours. Soon we will see the invincible power and the salvations of God. The story of Egypt is the story of our generation.

I would like to send a belated thank you to Shanh who sent me this in April and I just now came across it again. What is the potential significance of this in light of the HIStory, Our Future Bible studies? Timing. From my research in Bible prophecy, the day of the Lord is 1,000 years (2 Peter 3:8-10 | Psalm 90:4) and comes like a thief in the night (1 Thessalonians 5:1-11) with sudden destruction like the days of Noah and Lot. (Matthew 24:36-44 | Mark 13:28-37)

Genesis 1:14-19
And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good. And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

God created the universe in six days and on the seventh He rested. In the creation of the heavens, they were set to mark time and be signs. Man has had dominion on the earth for 6,000 years and according to Bible prophecy Yeshua will rule for 1,000 years. If a day is as a thousand years to the Lord, then the "day of the Lord" is the "last day" we are raised up at (John 6:35-58 | John 11:24) just before the sudden destruction, a pre-wrath gathering of the bride of Christ according to Matthew 25:1-13.

As far as Israel is concerned, the significance of Purim to my studies also has some potential connections with Bible prophecy. According to Revelation 12:13-16, at the time when the dragon is cast down to the earth and the man of sin begins his reign for 3 1/2 years, Israel in Judea falls into great tribulation that threatens her very existence. (Matthew 24:15-22) According to the timeline I came across from other's research, the time of Israel's escape into the wilderness could coincide with the celebration of Purim when Israel was saved from almost assured destruction.

So I find it interesting that my conclusions on timing had placed the day of the Lord at some unknown specific time after February of 2009 within approximately a month (unknown day or hour). And that according to this article, it is just a little over a month that they believe marks the time of creation and therefore the most probable time for the 1,000 years to begin with sudden destruction as prophesied. Does that make the timing I've come to accurate? Not necessarily, but I find it interesting enough anyways and thought I would share.

The Solar Cycle & The Fourth Bowl

Revelation 16:8,9
And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun
; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire. And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.

Solar flares will disrupt GPS in 2011 (September 29, 2006) - Navigation, power and communications systems that rely on GPS satellite navigation will be disrupted by violent solar activity in 2011, research shows. A study reveals Global Positioning System receivers to be unexpectedly vulnerable to bursts of radio noise produced by solar flares, created by explosions in the Sun's atmosphere. When solar activity peaks in 2011 and 2012, it could cause widespread disruption to aircraft navigation and emergency location systems that rely heavily on satellite navigation data. Particularly intense solar activity occurs roughly every 11 years due to cyclic changes to the Sun's magnetic field – a peak period known as the solar maximum. Solar flares send charged particles crashing into the outer fringes of the Earth's atmosphere at high velocity, generating auroras and geomagnetic storms. more...

According to the dates arrived at through the merging of the 14,000 days, Rosh Hashanah, and the exact day prophecies of Daniel and John, this time frame of 2011, 2012 is exactly when the fourth bowl would be poured out. Of course this is hardly proof, but this is a supporting evidence page. This would fit with what HIStory, Our Future presents.

The Little Horn

In 2005, the EU Constitution was blocked by three nations, England, Netherlands, and France. The Constitution was going to give Javier Solana the Foreign Minister position officially. As Kissinger once said, he would like to have a single person to call to talk to Europe. Javier Solana is that man, Mr. Europe. What is interesting about this is the similarities of the WEU with what Bible prophecy describes as 10 toes of the final kingdom of history before Christ's return in Daniel 2 as well as the 10 horns in Daniel 7 (4th Kingdom), Revelation 12 (Dragon), Revelation 13 (Antichrist's kingdom), and Revelation 17 (Antichrist's kingdom & woman riding the beast). The part I think may be happening right now is from Daniel 7:

Daniel 7:8
I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.
[blaspheming God at abomination of desolation]

Daniel 7:20
And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows.
[blaspheming God at abomination of desolation]

So the authority Javier Solana would have officially received from the Constitution being passed was blocked in 2005 by England, Netherlands, and France. Both France (Jacques Chirac replaced by Nicolas Sarkozy) and England (Tony Blair replaced by Gordon Brown) have new leadership and the Dutch elections brought in the fourth Balkenende cabinet after the resignation of the second cabinet. The stalled Constitution is the focus of these leaders now. Angela Merkel is also calling for an ambitious program to adopt the EU Constitution by 2009. The 10 horns represent 10 kings. So it would seem there are still 10 horns when the 3 are plucked, keeping the 10 horns for the antichrist's kingdom.

I would also like to point out that the HIStory, Our Future Bible studies place the abomination of desolation in February of 2009. This would place the power officially in Javier's hands around the same time the head of the revived Roman Empire could claim to be God in the rebuilt temple! The following news is related to these three nations and the EU Constitution.

A side note to also point out that January 20, 2009 will be the transition to the new American President as well. If this timeline is accurate, the next elections won't matter much because less than a month after the transition of power the man of sin will demand worship and all power will be ceded to him.

  • EU Leaders Agree On Foreign Chief Reuters (June 22, 2007) - European Union leaders reached broad agreement on Friday on a single post to run EU foreign affairs, the first success at a summit on the bloc's future, but Poland held up progress towards a treaty to reform the Union. The leaders of the 27 member states agreed on the job title, role and powers of a High Representative of the European Union for foreign policy, defense and security, diplomats said. The post will combine the jobs of foreign policy chief Javier Solana, who does mostly crisis management, and External Relations Commissioner Benita Ferrero-Waldner, who controls the executive European Commission's aid budget. The new foreign policy chief would chair meetings of EU foreign ministers and head a combined external action service drawing on both national and EU diplomats, after Britain dropped its reservations on those points, the diplomats said. The provisional accord was reached on the second day of a crucial summit meant to launch negotiations on a treaty to reform the bloc's institutions, replacing the defunct EU constitution and helping the bloc face up to global challenges. German Chancellor Angela Merkel, hosting the summit, struggled to break Poland's resistance to planned changes to the bloc's voting system which Warsaw says would favor member states with larger populations and reduce its own influence. Merkel met Polish President Lech Kaczynski three times in 12 hours to try to ease his concerns. "We're working hard. The problems are not yet solved but everyone is trying," said Merkel, who also met the leaders of the other states with concerns over the treaty -- Britain, the Czech Republic and the Netherlands. Finnish President Tarja Halonen said she sensed progress. "I would say the atmosphere was today better...I am more optimistic now than I was this morning," she told reporters. Danish Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen said a lot of hard talking lay ahead: "I still believe in an agreement but it will be a long negotiation." more... | EU/UN / 4th Kingdom | Solana |
  • EU leaders hold tense summit Associated Press (June 19, 2007) - Poland and Britain threatened Thursday to exercise their vetoes to prevent plans to draft a watered-down EU treaty at a European Union Summit, with Warsaw demanding more voting rights and London refusing to cede some powers to Brussels. British Prime Minister Tony Blair said he would reject any treaty that is similar to the draft constitution French and Dutch voters rejected two years ago. Blair, attending his last international summit before stepping down next week after a decade in power, was discussing Britain's demands for the treaty with his successor, Treasury chief Gordon Brown, before heading to the two-day summit. In Warsaw, Polish Prime Minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski said the plan proposed by German Chancellor Angela Merkel, the summit host, remains a problem. "The situation still does not satisfy us," Kaczynski told the Polish Rzeczpospolita daily as his twin brother, President Lech Kaczynski, headed to Brussels. "We should do everything to push through our proposal or to obtain some other solution that would equally satisfy our ambitions," the Polish prime minister said. "Either we obtain that, or there will be a veto." The EU is considering a voting system that takes into account each country's population. But Kaczynski has said Poland wants compensation for the deaths it suffered during World War II, when Nazi Germany invaded. He argues that his country would be a much larger country now if not for the war. Luxembourg Prime Minister Jean-Claude Juncker dismissed such demands as absurd. "I don't find it appropriate that some Poles think it would be necessary to restrict Germany," Juncker said. "I can only warn against such irrational comments." Slovakia's Prime Minister Robert Fico warned against bringing up sensitive issues such as the voting system already the subject of drawn-out discussions. "If we allow the discussion on a change of the voting rules, it will open a whole range of other issues. If somebody will want to push through things above and over what has been agreed, we will not agree on anything," Fico said. more... | EU/UN / 4th Kingdom |
  • EU Constitution 'Can Be Simple' BBC News (June 14, 2007) - An EU summit next week may agree to re-name the European constitution and re-package it as a simple treaty, a report by German officials suggests. But the report, seen by the BBC, says this "major concession" will only be made if the "substance" of the original deal is preserved. Germany will be chairing the summit in Brussels, which may agree the outline of a treaty replacing the constitution. BBC Europe editor Mark Mardell says the report poses some problems for the UK. He says several areas would be difficult for British leaders to sell to the British public without a referendum. The constitution was signed by EU member states in 2004, but was rejected by French and Dutch voters in referendums in 2005. British, French and Dutch politicians have argued that the treaty must be simplified to prevent the need for further referendums. It has not been general practice, in most member states, to put routine amendments of EU treaties to a public vote. The German proposals are also likely to be unwelcome in Poland, because they say nothing about changing the voting system at meetings of the 27 governments. Poland has threatened to block the new constitution, unless its demands are met, but is coming under intense pressure to drop its objections. French President Nicolas Sarkozy held talks with his Polish counterpart, Lech Kaczynski, on Thursday, and Mr Kaczynski is due to travel to Germany for a meeting with Chancellor Angela Merkel on Saturday. "We think that during these days of extreme importance, June 21 and 22, that we will reach a compromise and all member states will come away from the summit fairly satisfied," Polish President Lech Kaczynski told a news conference after his meeting with Mr Sarkozy. more... | EU/UN / 4th Kingdom |
  • Merkel calls for EU constitution by 2009 (January 17, 2007) - German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Wednesday outlined an ambitious program for her country's European Union presidency, saying the bloc must set a timetable for adopting an EU constitution. Merkel told EU lawmakers during her first appearance at the EU assembly that a decision on what to do with the constitution must be reached by June. The constitution was ratified by 18 states but rejected in Dutch and French referendums in 2005. Merkel said she would consult all 27 EU nations to hear their reservations about the landmark charter and to determine which parts can be rescued to form the basis of a new document. Germany wants to save as much as possible of the draft text, which was designed to accelerate policy-making and give the EU, now with 489 million people, more visibility on the world stage by creating the posts of EU president and foreign minister. "We need a foreign minister for Europe. That's enough of a reason to adopt a constitutional treaty," Merkel told the European Parliament, earning a standing ovation. "We must give a soul to Europe; we have to find Europe's soul. Any failure could be a historic failure." Merkel also said that completing global trade talks would be one of the priorities of Germany's six-month presidency, urging Europe to take a "resolute stand" to achieve a successful outcome. more... | EU/UN | Solana | NewWorldOrder |

Interesting how the language is spiritual speaking about the foreign minister position. Everyone seems to be in agreement about this too. 2009 hits an interesting time as well if we really are in the 70th week of Daniel. That would be the year of the abomination of desolation. As Herb Peters pointed out, is that an accident given the rumors of Solana leaving back in October? It seems to the European leaders like their whole world is starting to crumble without a "Mr. Europe." Is Solana making a power play? And will we see the European leaders give their power to him? Keep watching!

  • EU constitution: Where member states stand BBC News (March 25, 2007) - The European constitution was knocked off course when France and the Netherlands rejected it in referendums in May and June 2005, but European leaders are now discussing ways of reviving it in full or in part. This could mean resurrecting the original text, with minor changes, or drafting a new one. On the other hand, some countries argue there is no urgent need for institutional reform and that the EU should concentrate instead on policies that deliver immediate practical benefits for citizens. So far, 16 countries have completed ratification, two of them by referendum; two have very nearly finished ratifying it; and two have rejected it. That leaves seven countries where the constitution is on ice. Use this map to find out the state of play in each country. more...

  • Secret New Plan For EU Super-State Daily Express (June 15, 2007) - Tony Blair wants to hand the European Union radical new powers in his last act as Prime Minister, it emerged today. The Prime Minister has welcomed controversial plans to bring back the troubled EU constitution by the back door - totally bypassing the need for public referendums on sweeping new powers for Brussels. German chancellor Angela Merkel has suggested ditching the name "constitution" from the title and instead calling it an "amending treaty" - to avoid having to seek the approval of voters. French and Dutch voters rejected the original plan - which would hand Brussels the power to represent individual countries at the UN and change national laws - two years ago. Britain's voting rights would be reduced by a third under the scheme and our hard-won veto on European directives would be torn up. Britain could also lose the right to impose quotas on immigration. Shadow Foreign Secretary William Hague said: "If Tony Blair thinks he can hoodwink the British people by smuggling in the rejected EU constitution under another name, he had better think again. "He underestimates the British people. They will see right through any shabby stitch-up. "If the Labour Government sign up to a new treaty that takes powers from Britain and hands them over to the EU, the British people must have the final say in a referendum." The Germans believe "as much of the substance of the constitution as possible" should be kept, renamed and put into law. more... | EU/UN / 4th Kingdom |
  • The UK's EU referendum BBC News (June 2, 2005) - Originally, Tony Blair said he would hold a British vote on the treaty, expected during 2006. However, when France rejected the treaty on 29 May, he said it was too early to say whether Britain would hold its referendum. Instead, Mr Blair called for "time for reflection". After the Netherlands rejection on 1 June, Foreign Secretary Jack Straw said there were "profound questions ... about the future direction of Europe". Mr Straw will make full statement to the House of Commons on Monday 6 June on the impact of the referendums. He is expected to announce that the Bill to allow a referendum in the UK will be shelved. The government is not saying publicly that the latest two "No" votes kill the constitution - it says no one country can declare the treaty dead. But ministers say the votes leave the constitution in "serious difficulty" and Mr Blair will discuss their impact with fellow European leaders at a summit in Brussels on 16 June. The Conservatives say the treaty dead, but they still want a UK referendum if any of the changes proposed in the treaty are introduced in some other way. This view is shared by the No Campaign group. The Liberal Democrats argue there is now no prospect of a referendum, a feeling shared by the cross-party pro-Europe group Britain in Europe. Scottish National leader Alex Salmond said it would be a sign of "arrogance" if Britain pressed ahead with a referendum. The UK Independence Party believes the UK should now hold a vote on whether or not to remain a member of the European Union. more... | EU/UN / 4th Kingdom |

"Nicolas Sarkozy favours a slimmed-down treaty that could be adopted by parliamentary vote."

  • Sarkozy Could be Key Player at EU Summit Haaretz (June 21, 2007)France's President Sarkozy heads to summit talks on Thursday, eager to overcome two years of crisis caused by a French rejection of a constitution for the bloc. He could prove a valuable ally to German Chancelor Merkel. Leaders of the European Union's 27 member states hope the two-day summit in Brussels will clear the way for a simplified treaty to replace the doomed constitution, blocked by French and Dutch referendums in 2005. It is Sarkozy's first European summit since he was elected president on May 6, promising a major diplomatic drive to break the EU's insitutional deadlock. Sarkozy told lawmakers from his right-wing ruling party Wednesday he was expecting "two very difficult days starting tomorrow, since what is at stake is nothing less than pulling Europe out of immobility." For the past month, Sarkozy has been engaged in telephone diplomacy and meetings from Warsaw to Madrid to boost the chances of an agreement this week. He has also held consultations with French political leaders of all stripes -- including with far-right leader Jean-Marie Le Pen, normally a pariah in French politics -- before heading to the negotiating table in Brussels. Germany, which holds the EU's presidency until the end of the month, hopes member states will adopt a text outlining the treaty's contents, and setting a mandate for an intergovernmental conference to hammer out a final version. Sarkozy's spokesman said Tuesday the French president was determined "to support the German presidency as much as possible" and to "do everything to contribute to its success." more... | EU/UN / 4th Kingdom |

I wonder if we'll see the EU constitution go through suddenly? This would create the "Mr. Europe" Foreign Minister position... officially. Sarkozy has Jewish background too.

  • French vote to reject EU constitution Deseret News (May 30, 2005) - French voters resoundingly rejected the proposed European Union constitution Sunday, handing a devastating political defeat to President Jacques Chirac of France and perhaps a fatal blow to the treaty that seeks to pull the 25 member countries together in a closer union. A bitter, divisive campaign concluded with a high turnout for the referendum, estimated at 70 percent. According to the Interior Ministry, the "no" camp won with 54.9 percent of the vote, while 45.1 percent voted "yes." The "no" vote was seen by analysts and commentators as a political earthquake that would probably transform the landscape of French politics and cause wider repercussions across Europe, where discontent is breaking out over stagnant economies and a political elite perceived as out of touch with the demands of voters. Nine European countries, including Germany, have approved the constitution, but opinion polls indicate that the Netherlands will join France in rejecting the treaty in a vote set for Wednesday. The "no" vote in France, one of the founding members of the European Union and the principal architect of the constitution, in effect kills the proposed treaty — at least in its current form — because it requires unanimous approval by the 25 countries. In a short address on national television shortly after the polls closed, Chirac, who had campaigned hard for a "yes" vote, said he accepted the voters' "sovereign decision," but conceded it created "a difficult context for the defense of our interests in Europe." Chirac added he would make a decision on the future of his center-right government in the coming days, hinting at a possible government shake-up. After the vote, there were calls among some of the most extreme opponents of the constitution for Chirac to resign. "We are tonight before a major political crisis," said Philippe de Villiers, head of the right-wing Movement for France and a vocal lobbyist against the constitution. He added that Chirac had two choices: resignation "given the fact that he had been so personally involved," or the dissolution of parliament. At EU headquarters in Brussels, Prime Minister Jean-Claude Juncker of Luxembourg, the EU president, said the constitution's ratification process must continue. more... | EU/UN / 4th Kingdom |

Netherlands (Dutch)

A new Dutch government formed at the beginning of 2007 has signaled it will co-operate with efforts to tackle institutional reforms in the EU. The government has asked a body known as the State Council to rule on whether a referendum would be necessary on any future treaty based on the constitution. (November 22, 2006 elections PM Jan Peter Balkenende remains)

  • Dutch PM: EU constitution rejected USA Today (June 1, 2005) - European leaders may have to scrap the proposed EU constitution after Dutch voters rejected it by a massive margin, voicing their concern over dwindling national identity in a rapidly expanding union and increasingly powerful bureaucrats. The outcome in the Netherlands from the referendum Wednesday — three days after a similar vote in France — was likely to halt the European momentum, which had been welcomed by some as creating a new world power but disdained by others as smothering their cultures in a vast superstate. (Related video: Dutch vote on EU Constitution) With 99.8% of the ballots counted, unofficial results showed 61.6% voted "nee," while 38.4% said "ja." The level of opposition and the turnout of 63% exceeded all projections. Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende conceded defeat Wednesday night and said his government would accept the will of the people. Parliament, which has the final say on ratification because the referendum was nonbinding, was meeting Thursday to debate the results. more... | EU/UN / 4th Kingdom |

Corroborating Timelines

Calamitous Web Bot Predictions Coast to Coast AM (September 21, 2008)

George Ure and his colleague 'Cliff', two self-described "time monks," shared dire predictions based on their web bot technology. Their method captures changes in language patterns within Internet discussions. This aggregated data is then processed with software to determine various keywords, which they interpret in a predictive fashion.

Beginning on October 7, 2008 and running through March 2009, they foresee a calamitous period on an epic scale. America will be beset by a variety of problems, which they broke down as 45-48% related to the economy, 40% concerning the military, and the rest associated with natural disasters. Between 2 and 22 million lives could be lost or seriously impacted, they estimated, possibly related to a "global coastal event" in 2009. On Dec. 10-12th, 2008, a large quake could hit the Pacific Northwest, they added.

The two recommended developing self-sufficiency and the ability to live off the grid. They also spoke about strange disappearances next year, in which people, including those in power, will vanish without a trace into inter-dimensional doorways. Additionally, an object they call a "coherer" -- a reverse-engineered or left-behind dimensional artifact is currently in the possession of people who are concerned for their lives.

There are several aspects of this show that I found very intriguing given the conclusions of my own research from a Biblical point of view. I don't fully understand their methods of pulling data, but the conclusions of that data match up very much with the timeline of the HIStory, Our Future Bible studies. I'll run through a couple points here with a caveat that I think they are missing the Biblical worldview that they could be seeing about to unfold.

First of all, this window of October 2008 through March 2009 that they expect epic calamities in could very well describe what I believe must come to pass in order for the timeline linked above to be accurate. That being essentially the second and third seals in full-force, the destruction of Damascus (Isaiah 17) and the retaliation of the Magog forces (Ezekiel 38,39). On top of that, there is the current financial meltdown that will be exasperated by the instability and our current fluctuating monetary system.

This leads to the timing aspect because according to scripture, there will be a new financial order where nobody will be able to buy or sell without a mark and a pledge of allegiance to the man of sin, who will declare himself to be God in the rebuilt temple. I believe that will be done by Israel after God protects them from the Magog invasion. On the economic side, the quickest and easiest way to implement a new global currency is if you don't have to print or mint anything. The technology is already here with RFID and Somark has an RFID tattoo ink currently being used to track cattle ironically. With Paypass readers popping up all over in businesses, we're very close to possible implementation. According to the HIStory, Our Future conclusions, that implementation would be around the middle of 2009.

Then there is the disappearances of 2009. According to scripture, it is soon after the abomination of desolation that Yeshua comes to gather His bride to Himself. We will be changed in a moment, the twinkling of an eye after the dead in Christ are first raised incorruptible. Together with them we will meet the Lord in the air. 1 Corinthians 15:50-54 | 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 While they describe what they're seeing as explicitly NOT the "rapture," I felt quite differently listening to them discuss what they were seeing. We will be given our incorruptible bodies and will be as the angels in heaven and this could very well involve an instantaneous transition to another dimension unseen by the human eye after which time we will be caught up to meet the Lord in the air. According to the HIStory, Our Future Bible studies, this event takes place at some unknown day or hour within a month following the abomination of desolation in February of 2009. (9-23-2008)

What's more, according to scripture when Yeshua comes to gather His bride, it is with sudden destruction and wrath like the days of Noah and Lot. Upon examining the events of the seven trumpet and seven bowl judgments, the initial events of the first and second trumpets could very well cause the "global coastal event" of 2009.

Revelation 8:7-9
The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up. And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood; And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.

So are they seeing something in their computer models that is sensing reality approaching? I don't know, but I find it eerily familiar to what my own separate research of Bible prophecy has led me to in regard to the timing of the end. As you can see with the other supporting evidence, Europe is positioned and fulfilling Bible prophecy and we could very well be seeing the beginning of the end become more and more clear and obvious to those watching.


Dr. Deagle Reveals the New World Order

You really just have to watch this video. Keep in mind that he doesn't have a Christian perspective and at times spouts a New Age type of philosophy. I share it not for the philosophical point of view he holds, but his descriptions of his own claimed experiences. He covers so many diverse topics and brings them all together to reveal just how close we are to the fulfillment of Bible prophecy during the great tribulation. He has been in secret underground bases being prepared for what is coming. Revelation 6:12-17 | Isaiah 2:12-21 He also believes it is the sun's binary star, commonly called Planet-X, and that the secret governments know it is coming and that is one of the reasons they are preparing the underground cities. They also help in running a world that nobody knows about.

Recorded on December 7, 2006, he predicts from what he has learned, that the implementation of the global governance plans would be around 2007-2008, but isn't sure on timing, just on what is coming. Technology has brought us to a place where the implementation is the only thing the globalists are waiting for and the timing is in God's hands. That is where the HIStory, Our Future Bible studies come in...


Dates Resulting from the HIStory, Our Future Bible Studies

After I had taken the exact-day prophecies and connected that framework with the end date of the 14,000 days on Rosh Hashanah, 2005, some interesting dates showed up, one of them being Purim, 2009. I'll let the link give the details, but basically Purim commemorates a time when the Jewish people living in Persia were saved from extermination.

The date for the abomination of desolation from the exact-day prophecies and Rosh Hashanah was February 16, 2009. Purim is on March 9-10, 2009, 22 days after the abomination of desolation. If you have looked over my studies of the great tribulation and the time of Jacob's trouble, you will see that what I read from scripture (before finding this information) is that the time of Jacob's trouble can only last a month at most because Israel is protected for 1260 days from the dragon. Revelation 12:14

However, Matthew 24:22 states that this time is cut short. If it were not, there would be no Israel in the mountains to protect in the wilderness as the dragon sends the flood after the woman in the mountains. The earth swallows this flood though and the 1/3 who obeyed Christ's warning to run at the abomination of desolation will be taken to the wilderness.

What I find curious is that 22 days after the start of the great tribulation, and just short of a month like Matthew 24:22 implies, is Purim, 2009! What this means is that it may very well be that the end of the time of Jacob's trouble and the continuation of the remaining 3½ years of great tribulation may transition on the very holiday celebrating the salvation from complete destruction planned for them! Coincidence? There's some even more interesting stuff when examining 22 from the Hebrew language.

The other dates also have significance as well. For instance, 1260 days from the abomination of desolation is the end of the antichrist's reign. Revelation 13:1-5 We also know that he and the false prophet are cast into the lake of fire upon Christ's return in glory. Revelation 19:20 In addition, we know that Christ said Israel would not see Him again until they said "blessed is He that comes in the name of the Lord." Luke 13:34,35 We also know that Israel is in the wilderness protected, which doesn't happen until after the antichrist's 1260 days has begun, until after Christ returns in glory. Revelation 12:14

What is fascinating is that 1,260 days from February 16, 2009 leads to July 30, 2012. Tisha B'Av is July 29, 2012. If you know the history of the 9th of Av to the Jewish people, you know the significance of this date and how the Jews in the wilderness might take Armageddon with the world converging once again on Jerusalem on the 9th of Av. Could it be that this date and Armageddon are the straw that breaks the camel's back so to speak and Israel calls upon Yeshua as the Messiah finally as a nation? That is what Christ said it would take for Israel to see Him again.
    Revelation 1:7
    Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

Global Warming, 6th Seal & Planet-X

No, I'm not crazy. In fact, I believe the idea of a binary brown dwarf star passing in its orbit between the Earth and the Sun would give the very signs prophesied to occur at the sixth seal heralding the day of the Lord. For more detail, go here.

Revelation 6:12-17
And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

Isaiah 2:12-21
For the day of the LORD of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low: And upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan, And upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills that are lifted up, And upon every high tower, and upon every fenced wall, And upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant pictures. And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day. And the idols he shall utterly abolish. And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth. In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats; To go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the tops of the ragged rocks, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.

There are reports in conspiracy circles about giant underground cities built by the shadow government. Until these pieces began to come together, I probably would have thought the same thing. I don't get out much, but something like that should be noticed, right? Well there are many reasons, scientific and in agreement with Bible prophecy, that I give credence to the possibility. One of the most recent is through Jaysen Q. Rand's book The Return of Planet-X, which places a dual pass-by of a brown dwarf binary star in 2009 and 2012. He believes the Mayan calendar is not a mystical fortune-telling calendar, but rather operates on the orbit of this approaching celestial body and hence why it ends in 2012. It just so happens that my separate previous Bible studies assembled into HIStory, Our Future: Pearls for the Bride, place the sixth seal immediately after the time of Jacob's trouble in the midst of the same week of Daniel 9:27, which is February 2009 for the abomination of desolation and July 29, 2012 for the return of Christ.

Please note I am not predicting the day of Christ's return in glory. It is the coming with sudden destruction that begins the day of the Lord that we don't know the day or hour of. We are told in Matthew 24:15-22, Revelation 13:5 and Daniel 7:25 that the antichrist begins a 42-month reign that is brought to an end when Christ returns in glory. Revelation 19:20 It is therefore evident that if Christ is coming with sudden destruction like the days of Noah and that is God's wrath for the children of disobedience, Ephesians 5:1-8, and the seat of the antichrist, then it follows that the day and hour we don't know is the same as the unknown sudden destruction of the day of the Lord that comes like a thief in the night. 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11 We also know that Christ comes again after the marriage of the Lamb, Revelation 19:7-14, with the wife at the point of the antichrist and false prophet's destruction.

Given the Electro-Magnetic nature of the universe and scientific observations, it becomes clear that the approach of this celestial body would have a great effect on the sun, which is electrically connected to the other stars in the Milky Way, and result in the increased temperature over the past century as well as accounting for the increased global warming not only on Earth, but Mars and elsewhere in our solar system as its center becomes more active. Please watch Thunderbolts of the Gods.

A lot of information you may find regarding this is focused on surviving. I just want to be clear that Yeshua died for the sins of man and He told Abraham, if there are 10 righteous that He would not send His wrath. The wrath of God is not for the righteous and there is none righteous outside of Christ alone. For those who believe this and obey His ways of love, He is coming to gather to Himself before the destruction of His wrath comes. This is the escape of the bride to the marriage of the Lamb. Our hope is not in this world and neither is it our home, but we are the salt and light of it.
