A
90 year old woman from a Lutheran Church in Valdres, Norway received a vision
from God in the 1960’s. Emanuel Minos, a Norwegian Pentecostal evangelist, held
revival meetings where this woman
lived in 1968. She came to one of his meetings and told him
what she had seen and Minos wrote it down. The woman from Valdres was
known for being alert, reliable and a credible Christian
with a good reputation.
After the revival meetings closed
down, Minos returned to his home and shared the vision
he had written down with his
wife. Both felt that the vision was so far-fetched and difficult to
believe that they did not
want to publish it.
In 1993,
twenty five years later, Minos
was going through old files, when he found some papers that had become yellow
with age. To his astonishment, he found the forgotten notes he had
written in 1968 when the 90 year old woman shared the vision
with him. After reading through the notes,
he became terrified since he realized that many of the details
had indeed been fulfilled. He remembered that the woman had asked him to warn
people because the end times was approaching. Minos also remembered that he had
argued with the woman about certain points in the vision and she forcefully had
told him the vision was true and that Minos would live to see it
fulfilled in his lifetime. After having reviewed his notes
and thinking about what the woman had said, he made
the decision to publish the vision, including his initial
hesitation to publish it in 1968.
I did not learn of this prophecy until September
of 2014 when I read it in the Swedish magazine, “Midnattsropet.”[1]
This vision deeply
impacted me and created a desire to
learn as much as I could about the background of the people
involved. I contacted Stina Fridolfsson, who is on the editorial board of the
magazine. She told me that the vision had been published in a Christian Swedish
magazine in Finland by the name of “Korsets Budskap” in November of
1998 and that her
sister-in-law in Finland had sent a copy of the magazine to her.[2]
After I had talked to Fridolfsson, I
found Minos’ Wikipedia page and was able to verify that the vision had indeed
been told to him and that he believed it to be true.
I was ready to sit down and translate the vision
into English when I found that it already had been translated.[3]
I compared the English translation with the Swedish version sent to me by Stina
Fridolfsson and it is accurate.
[Beginning of the
vision]
THE VISION
I saw the time just
before the coming of Jesus and the outbreak of the Third World War.
I saw the events with my natural eyes. I saw the world like a kind
of a globe and saw Europe, nation by nation. I saw Scandinavia. I
saw Norway. I saw certain things that would take place just before
the return of Jesus, and just before the last calamity happens, a
calamity the likes of which we have never before experienced.
She mentioned four
waves:
1. First, before
Jesus comes and before the Third World War breaks out, there will be
a “détente” like we have never had before. There will be peace
between the super powers in the east and the west, and there will be
a long peace. {Note by Minos: Remember, that this was in 1968
when the cold war was at its highest.} In this period of peace,
there will be disarmament in many countries, including in Norway and
we will not be prepared when it (the war) comes. The Third World War
will begin in such a way no one would have anticipated - and from an
unexpected place.
2. A lukewarmness
without parallel will take hold of Christians, causing a falling
away from true, living Christianity. Christians will not be open to
penetrating preaching. They will not, like in earlier times, want to
hear of sin and grace, law and gospel, repentance and restoration.
There will come a substitute instead: prosperity (happiness)
Christianity.
The important thing
will be to have success, to be someone; to have material things,
things that God never promised us in this way. Churches and prayer
houses will be emptier and emptier. Instead of the preaching we have
been used to for generations (i.e. to take up your cross and follow
Jesus), entertainment, art and culture will invade the churches
where there instead should have been gatherings for repentance and
revival. This will increase markedly just before the return of
Jesus.
3. There will be a
moral disintegration that old Norway has never experienced the likes
of. People will live together like they were married without being
married. {Note by Minos: I do not believe the concept of
“co-habitation” existed in 1968} Much uncleanness before marriage,
and much infidelity in marriage will become the natural or common
and it will be justified from every angle. It will even enter
Christian circles and be accepted – even sin against nature. Just
before Jesus returns there will be TV programs like we have never
experienced. {Note by Minos: TV had just arrived in Norway in 1968.}
TV will be filled
with such horrible violence that it teaches people to murder and
destroy each other, and it will be unsafe in our streets. People
will copy what they see. There will not be only one “station” on TV,
it will be filled with “stations.” {Note by Minos: She did not know
the word “channel” which we use today. Therefore she called them
stations.} TV will be just like the radio where we have many
“stations,” and it will be filled with violence. People will use it
for entertainment. We will see terrible scenes of murder and
destruction one of the other and this will spread in society. Sex
scenes will also be shown on the screen, the most intimate things
that takes place in a marriage. {Note by Minos: I protested and
said, “We have a law that forbids this kind of thing.”} Then the old
woman said: “It will happen, and you will see it. All morals we have
had before will be broken down and the most indecent things will
pass before our eyes.
4. People from poor
countries will stream to Europe. {Note by Minos: In 1968 there was
no such thing as immigration.} They will also come to Scandinavia -
and Norway. There will be so many of them that people will begin to
dislike them and become hard with them. They will be treated like
the Jews before the Second World War. Then the full measure of our
sins will have been reached. {Note by Minos: I protested at the
issue of immigration. I did not understand it at the time.}
The tears streamed
from the old woman’s eyes and down her cheeks as she said: “I will
not see it, but you will. This will happen shortly before Jesus is
coming back and World War III begins.”
WORLD WAR III
She then continued
to share the vision and said that it will be a very short war. All
that I have seen of war before is only child’s play compared to this
one, and it will be ended with nuclear atomic bombs. The air will be
so polluted that one cannot draw one’s breath. It will cover several
continents; America, Japan, Australia and the wealthy nations. The
water will be contaminated. The soil in these places can no longer
be used for growing food. The result will be that only small areas
will remain that can be used to grow food. The remnant who survived
in the wealthy countries will try to flee to the poor countries, but
they will be as hard on us as we were on them, and will refuse to
accept the people seeking refuge.
I am so glad that I
will not live to see it, but when the time draws near, you (Emanuel
Minos) must take courage and travel all around and tell this vision
that I have seen to people.
I have received it from God and nothing of it goes against what the
Bible tells.
The one who has his
sin forgiven and has Jesus as Savior and Lord, is safe.
[End of the vision]

VERIFIED BY HISTORY?
Has this vision been verified by
history? Let’s examine the following facts and see if they corroborate the
vision:
EXAMINING POINT #1
From 1968 to 2014 there have been a
number of regional wars but peace has basically been maintained in the world.
With the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, Russia, the United States,
NATO and many other nations in Europe have downsized their military capacity.
General peace has now lasted for 46 years in the world. Consider the time span
between World War I and World War II was just 21 years.
A nation like Sweden has scrapped
its national defense and only maintains a small air force, navy and a small army
combat force which is basically used for United Nation deployments. There is no
mandatory draft of young men for the armed forces anymore.
Most people born after 1960 have no
knowledge what life was like from 1945 to 1960. The Soviet Union had more than
five million men under arms, and the nation’s belonging to the Warsaw Pact led
by the Soviet Union also had millions of men under arms. The United States had
more than half a million soldiers stationed in Western Europe and the different
NATO countries maintained a large contingent of armed forces. By the year 2000,
the armed forces of the East and the West were significantly reduced.
EXAMINING POINT #2
The young people’s view of marriage
changed with the onslaught of the Hippie movement in the early 1960’s. The
hippies on the West Coast of the United States made new rules under their slogan
“free love,” and instead of getting married, men and women just moved in
together and started to have children. The hippie culture spread rapidly from
the American west coast to the rest of the United States, Canada and Western
Europe. As of 2014,
a large number of people simply prefer to live together without marriage.
The Pentecostal and Evangelical
churches in the Scandinavian countries have moved into apostasy. A number of
denominations in Sweden have merged into a new multi-denomination, where they
accept homosexuals as ministers, allow their members to live together without
being married, practice homosexuality and in general live a low morality
lifestyle. The use of alcohol and tobacco products is no longer frowned upon.
The Pentecostal and Evangelical
churches in Sweden have formed committees to discuss building bridges between
themselves, the Roman Catholic Church and the Swedish Jewish community. The
topics of salvation, water baptism through immersion, the Baptism of the Holy
Spirit and living a holy life are avoided in sermons.
Some Christian churches have also
started to share their facilities with Islamic congregations since Muslims
worship on Fridays.
The Swedish parliament in the year
2000 voted to sever its ties to the State Lutheran Church and since that time it
has been in a free fall of immorality. Eva Brunne was installed as bishop of the
diocese of Stockholm in 2009 even though she lived as a homosexual and openly
flaunted her partner. The church hierarchy voted that same year to allow priests
to perform same-sex marriages.
Christianity in the United States
has also deteriorated since the 1960’s. First came the prosperity movement led
by Kenneth Hagin and Kenneth Copeland in the 1960’s. This was followed by the
Discipleship movement led by Don Basham, Derek Prince, Bob Mumford, Charles
Simpson and Ern Baxter that lasted from 1970’s into the 1980’s.
The 1980’s was a decade of scandals
for American television evangelists who had either sexual misconduct or
financial mishandlings. The most prominent of them was Jim Bakker, Jimmy
Swaggart, Pat Robertson, Paul Crouch, Robert Tilton, Morris Cerullo and many
more.
A number of denominations in the
United States today allow homosexuals to be ministers, perform same sex
marriages, teach that the virgin birth of Jesus is not true, Jesus was not God,
and there is no need for personal salvation.
Let’s not forget John Wimber and the
Vineyard churches which ushered in holy laughter and barking manifestations
through the so-called Toronto blessing and the Pensacola and Brownsville
revivals.
The current destruction of Christian
faith in America is being spearheaded by Rick Warren, Bill Hybels, Joel Osteen
and many others who are systematically destroying the remaining moral fiber of
the church in America.

The vision about a moral decline in
the churches has indeed been fulfilled. There are only remnant churches left in
2014 who are staying true to the Bible.
EXAMINING POINT #3
From 1946 until 1986 there were
three television networks in the United States. In 1962 there were 800 cable
operators in the United States, serving mostly rural areas with feeds
from the three networks. Television broadcasting in the Scandinavian countries
began on a small scale in the late 1950’s and for the next 50 years each country
had a monopoly on radio and television. For years the Scandinavian nations only
had one state run channel which they could view.
With the American space program came
satellites that destroyed the European nation’s monopoly on television
broadcasting. By the 1990’s people in Sweden could watch television programs
from all over the world and today there are thousands of channels available.
In Western Europe and the United
States it is now common for men and women to
live
together and start a family without
being married. Homosexuality is an epidemic that is spreading into the Christian
community. Many nations have legalized same sex marriages, which includes giving
homosexuals the right to adopt children.
Pornography is rampant and young
children are being used to make sex movies for pedophiles. Young women from
Eastern Europe are lured into the sex industry and sold as slaves on the markets
in the Middle East. Wife swapping and sexual orgies take place without people
feeling remorse and the movies and television programs have sunk to such low
levels that no one in 1960 could have dreamed
would happen. Sexual intercourse, homosexual acts and bestiality are being shown
to the general public. Most entertainment shown to people is based upon
violence, murder, rape
and sex.
This vision of moral decay has
indeed been fulfilled.
EXAMINING POINT #4
People in the United States have not
understood the massive impact immigration can exert upon a country. Europe has
changed a lot since 1990. When I left Sweden in 1963, it had a population of
around 8 million people,
with 99% of them being native Swedes. The population today has grown to 9.5
million but it is mostly due to immigration. The increase has come from third
world nations and most of them are Muslim. Mosques are being built around
Sweden, paid for by Saudi Arabia and the clamor for Sharia law is increasing.
The same holds true for the majority
of the European nations. Finland, Norway and Denmark are restricting the number
of people seeking refuge. England and France are overrun with Muslims, who are
building their own enclaves in the cities and demanding Sharia law.
The native population initially
accepted some refugees, but with hordes of them coming in and going on welfare
and taking advantage of
free services such as healthcare to rent free living
quarters, the indigenous people are getting angry, and in a number of European
nations, political parties have been formed based upon hatred
of immigration policies.
For example, when a woman in Sweden
is raped and she reports it to the police, the police cannot by law reveal that
the rape was done by a Muslim. Young Muslim men in Sweden and other nations have
no respect for non-Muslim women and rape has increased dramatically.
This part of the vision has also
been fulfilled.
WORLD WAR III
I am convinced that the vision told
by the 90 year old
woman is from God and that He has given us a strong warning that we
should heed. There is no preparation that can be done in the
physical except if people move to third world countries.
But most of us do not have the means to make such a move, more importantly, God
has not told me to leave California and this ministry. I am willing to move if
God tells me to go but I am not going to move because
of fear. I know that when the war comes, I am saved and if I die, I will just
move from this life to a new life in heaven. In the meantime, our job is to warn
people so that they can put their lives in order. The first phase
of preparation is to be saved, be baptized in water through immersion, delivered
from demons and baptized in the Holy Spirit.
DO I SEE ANY DANGER NOW?
Given what I have stated so far, you
might be wondering if I see any danger now? Yes, I do. I have been speaking and
writing since 1975 about a World Government that is working hard to prepare the
world for the Antichrist. The United Nations and European Union are important
pawns in their plan for
world domination. There are two vital areas that are important to the World
Government. The first is Israel and Jerusalem;
the second is Western Europe and the United States. The latter serves as the
power base for the World Government and Jerusalem is going to be their capitol
as predicted by Jesus. (Revelation 11:3-13)
A BRIEF HISTORICAL VIEW OF RUSSIA
Those who are familiar with history
know that Russia has always been a wild card in the political arena. Russia and
Sweden were at war for centuries as Sweden conquered Finland in the 12th
century and later occupied the three Baltic states. After more than 600 years of
war, Russia crushed the Swedish army in 1809 and made Finland a province of the
Russian Empire. Russia had conquered the Baltic countries in earlier fighting.
Due to the aristocratic system under
the Tsars, there was no real middle class in Russia and the farmers were more
like slaves as they worked on the huge estates owned by the aristocrats. It was
not until the middle of the 19th century that the different Tsars
began to invite skilled German workers and farmers to settle in Russia and help
it become modern. Millions of Germans took advantage of this offer and settled
in the Volga region.
Russia was constantly at war with
the different countries in Europe but was
never able secure territory in central Europe. Poland was
held as a Russian province for years. Napoleon Bonaparte declared war on Russia
in 1812 and put together an army to defeat Russia once and for all. His army
consisted of 680,000 men, of which 300,000 were French. The rest of the soldiers
came from conquered nations that had been conscripted
into service. The Russians could not match the firepower of the French army and
kept retreating, burning towns and villages to deny food and supplies to the
French. Napoleon was able to push all the way to Moscow and capture the city
while he negotiated with the Tsar Alexander I. The latter knew that time was on
his side and that the Russian winter was coming. Starved of supplies,
Napoleon was forced to order a retreat. His army was attacked and ambushed on
the way back home, and by the time they crossed the Russian border and came back
to Germany, he had less than 40,000 soldiers left.

Tsar Alexander I |
The Rothschild bank and other Jewish
banks in Europe that dominated the financial and political arena during the 19th
century had no love for Russia, even though it had a large Jewish population.
The Jewish leadership in England and Germany despised Jews from Russia and
Eastern Europe and looked upon them as inferior. The World Government, which had
been formed by the Jewish Zionist movement and supported by the Jewish world
bankers, instigated a war against Russia in 1904 in which Japan was the
aggressor. The Russian government unsuccessfully tried to borrow money from the
Jewish world banks. Jacob Schiff, a German Jew and the CEO of the Jewish
American bank Kuhn, Loeb and Company in New York, had a personal vendetta
against Tsar Nicholas II and did all he could to finance the Japanese war
effort. Russia was humiliated as the strong Japanese forces pushed the Russians
back.
In 1905,
Jewish Marxist revolutionaries operating from bases in Germany and Switzerland
unsuccessfully tried
to topple Nicholas II and his government.
Nicholas II wanted to increase
Russian influence in Europe, and when tension arose from the assassination of
the Archduke Franz Ferdinand of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire on June 28, 1914
and led to the outbreak of World War I, Russia declared war against Germany and
the Austrian-Hungarian Empire. The result for the Russian armies was a disaster
and more than a million Russians soldiers were captured.

THE BOLSHEVIK REVOLUTION
The World Government moved to
crush Russia once and for all and eradicate the Romanov family which had ruled
Russia. A communist organization had been built up with its headquarters in
Switzerland. More than 90,000 young men and women had been recruited for the
largest terror network the world had ever seen up to this time, and most of them
were Jewish.
Another group had been recruited in
the United States under the leadership of Russian Jew Leo Trotsky, who had
formed a special unit of 275 “special forces,”
who were to take control of the government buildings in St. Petersburg and
murder all officers and officials belonging to the Russian government.
The agents from the World Government
incited strikes which led to violent riots in St. Petersburg in March of 1917.
Nicholas II was eventually
removed as emperor and a provincial
government was formed and led by Alexander Kerensky. This was the ruling
government of Russia for the next eight months.
Vladimir Lenin informed the German
government of his intention to stop the war with Germany as soon as he took
control of Russia. This was a gift to the German government who had been
fighting a two-front war. As a result, Lenin and his group of terrorist leaders
left Switzerland and traveled unmolested throughout Germany on a train furnished
by the German government. The train was put on a ferry at the German town of
Sassnitz at the Baltic Sea and ferried to Sweden where Swedish soldiers
travelled as armed guards with them all the way to Tornea in the north. From
there the train moved into Finland, which at the
time was a Russian province. Lenin stopped briefly in Stockholm, the capitol of
Sweden, where he met with Swedish Prime Minister Hjalmar Branting and Jewish
Swedish banker Olof Aschberg,
who was the CEO for the bank Nya Banken, which was tied in with the Rothschilds
and Kuhn, Loeb and Company. Ashberg handed over a large sum of cash to Lenin,
and for the next few years, he became the banker for the new Soviet Union
government.

Leo Trotsky and his group arrived
via ship from New York to St. Petersburg with $20 million in gold coins
furnished by Jacob Schiff, which was used to bribe officers and officials in
Russia, as well as pay the terrorists that worked for them.
The 90,000 trained terrorists
started to filter into Russia through different nations, just like fighters have
filtered into Syria and Iraq to join ISIS.
As soon as Trotsky and his elite
force arrived, they started killing those who had toppled the Russian government
and replaced them with his
own people in leadership. On November 4, 1917 Lenin and Trotsky took power from
the provincial government and declared the birth of the Soviet Union. A civil
war broke out and it was not until the early 1920’s that the communists had
finally taken control
of Russia.
Lenin, Trotsky and Stalin were just
as ruthless as ISIS has been in Iraq and Syria in 2014. The only difference
between the two groups is that the communists filmed many of their mass killings
but did not make them public like ISIS has done.
When the Red Army (murder gangs) led
by Trotsky took a village or a city, every official, policeman, school teacher,
pastor, priest, attorney, judge, engineer, factory supervisor, shop owner,
Christian and every good looking boy and girl were slain and buried in mass
graves. More than 20 million Russians were slaughtered as a result. Russia’s
educated people were all murdered and great fear came over the Russian people.
It became very clear to the Russian people that the Bolshevik revolution was not
a Russian revolution; it was very much a Jewish Marxist revolution.

Alexander Kerensky |
It was not until the late 1980’s
that Russian members in the communist party had been able to kill and destroy
the Jewish leadership of Russia. Vladimir Putin as a KGB officer saw the purge
with his own eyes and has never forgotten what the World Government and the
Jewish bankers did to Russia. If a person does not know Russian history, they
will never understand what drives Putin to risk war with the West.
Finland, Estonia, Latvia and
Lithuania managed to break loose during the Bolshevik revolution and become
independent nations. There was a bitter civil war in Finland before the Finish
communists were defeated and most of them killed. Poland was also able to break
loose from the Soviet Union.
NAZI GERMANY
It was the World Government and
American Jewish bankers who financed Hitler and his Nazi Party. The secretive
Thule Society was used to organize and finance the Nazi Party. The irony
is that Adolf Hitler, who was an enlisted soldier in the German Army, was
recruited by the German Army intelligence and ordered to infiltrate the Nazi
Party in Bavaria. For a couple of years he became part of the Nazi Party and no
one knew that he was an agent working for the German government. In time Hitler
decided to break with the German government and embrace the Nazi doctrine.
England and France had put severe
restrictions on Germany after its defeat in World War I. As a result, Germany
and the Soviet Union began a secret cooperation between their armed forces, and
German troops were trained in Ukraine to hide their activities from the British
and French governments. In return, German officers became advisers to the Soviet
army and naval forces. German factories were built in Ukraine to produce
armament for the German armed forces.
Hitler was appointed Reich
Chancellor of Germany on
January 30, 1933 and was informed of the cooperation with the Soviet Union.
Hitler began to speak about
“Lebensraum” (living space) and declared that he was unhappy with the way the
victors of World War I had taken territory from Germany and placed severe
restrictions on their military.
The Saar basin in western Germany
had been taken from Germany after WWI
and placed under the
administration of the League of Nations, the forerunner to the United Nations.
Hitler sent in agents to create dissent, and after a hard campaign, elections
were held on January 13, 1935 and 90% of the people living in the Saar region
voted for re-unification with Germany. The League of Nations was forced to
accept the vote of the people and Hitler took control over the region. It is
noteworthy that the Saar Basin is the home of coal mines and steel mills, just
like it is in eastern Ukraine.
With the reunion of the Saar region, Hitler
announced in March, 1935 that he was increasing the size of the German Army to
600,000 men, the formation of a new Luftwaffe (Air Force) and an increase in the
German Navy. This was a defiant breach of the Treaty of Versailles which Germany
had signed on June 28, 1919. The League of Nations met and France and England
raised great concerns but no action was taken.
Adolf Hitler withdrew Germany from
the League of Nations in October, 1935 when he realized that the governments of
England and France were not going to take any action.
Hitler was aware of the World
Government but he began to think that he could build up Germany and defeat this
world leadership. In March of 1936 he ordered the German Army to enter the
Rhineland region that had been taken from Germany and made into a demilitarized
zone. The French and the British government met again to discuss this violation
of the peace agreement from 1919 but none of them were willing to go to war over
the issue. Hitler once again realized that he had nothing to fear from his
enemies because they refused to act.
Hitler’s next target was Austria and
German provocateurs began to infiltrate Austria and
invite
the military and political
leadership to merge with Germany. Vladimir Putin must have copied Hitler’s
playbook when he took over Crimea in 2014.
Hitler stirred up the population in
Austria by promising them a better future in a “Gross Deutschland” (Great
Germany), and when the Austrian prime minister tried to have a general vote on
the issue to let the people decide what they wanted, the Germans sabotaged the
vote. On March 11, 1938 the Austrian Nazi Party staged a coup and toppled the
elected government. The new Nazi government in Vienna then voted to transfer all
power to Germany and German troops poured into Austria. Hitler declared that the
unification with Austria was complete on
March 12, 1938 and that the two nations were once again unified.
Again, there was a lot of talk from the British and French governments, but no
action was taken.
Hitler by now
was
very confident. He had rebuilt the
German war machine and had taken back large territories of German speaking
people. He then set his eyes on the Sudetenland, a large portion of land in the
western part of Czechoslovakia. This time the British government decided to
become more active to head off this next move by Nazi Germany.
The Austrian-Hungarian Empire had
been broken
up after World War I and the Western
powers created a number of new states, one of which was Czechoslovakia, which
had a huge German population in the Sudetenland province. Again, judging Putin
by his actions, he must have studied Hitler’s playbook on how this was done.

Neville Chamberlain |
Walter Runciman |
Immediately after Hitler had taken
Austria, he began to publicly speak about the fate of the German speaking people
in Sudetenland. Knowing how to manipulate
the situation, he activated the previously organized
Sudetenland Nazi Party. Konrad Heinlein was a Sudetenland German and a Nazi
sympathizer who became a political leader. The drumbeat got louder as the
Germans in the Sudetenland disliked the Czecks,
Slovaks, Poles and the Hungarians that made up the population of this new
nation. They wanted to become a
part of Germany.
Hitler spoke in different places
about how badly the Germans were being
treated in the Sudetenland
and that it was his duty to protect his fellow Germans. British Prime Minister
Neville Chamberlain sent Walter Runciman, a well-known politician, to
Czechoslovakia to see if the Czecks were willing to compromise. He proposed a
similar political model for Czechoslovakia as in Switzerland where Germans,
Italians and French lived together as a nation and also had some kind of
independence.
Hitler strongly objected to this
plan and ordered the Nazi party to hold massive rallies and stir up the German
population, who in turn
embraced the propaganda.
Just like Putin, Hitler was a
skilled political chess player and played the game well. There was “shuttle
diplomacy” as representatives from France, Italy, Britain and Germany met in
different locations. On September 15, 1938, Prime Minister Chamberlain flew to
Berchtesgaden, a city in the German Alps to
meet with Hitler. Hitler repeatedly told Chamberlain that
this was his last territorial quest and that
there would be peace once the
Sudetenland had been united with Germany. Chamberlain flew back to Germany on
September 22nd and met with Hitler in the city of Godesberg, a suburb
to the city of Bonn, to make sure that he had a valid agreement with Hitler.
French Prime Minister Édouard
Daladier met with Hitler on September 25th and was told the same
story. He likewise made an agreement with Hitler just as Chamberlain had done.
No representatives from
Czechoslovakia were invited to these peace talks. The meetings were held in
secret and the German, English and French agreed that it was of utmost
importance that the Czechoslovakian armed forces be kept in the dark and
prevented from taking defensive positions and opposing the German annexation. To
make the scenario more appealing
to the world, the decision was made to have a meeting
in Munich, where Italian dictator Benito Mussolini would be invited to meet with
Adolf Hitler, Neville Chamberlain and Édouard Daladier. The meeting took place
on September 29th and the plan to annex the Sudetenland was approved
and signed in what became known as the Munich agreement. It gave Germany the
right to immediately move in its troops and possess
the Sudetenland. The Czech government was sent a copy and simply told to sign
the Munich agreement, which happened on September 30,
1938. The German Army rolled into the Sudetenland on October 1st and
the Czech army had no time to respond. Hitler and his staff were jubilant!
Chamberlain returned to London, and as he exited the airplane, he held up the
Munich agreement in the air and announced that he had been able to secure peace
that would last a lifetime. He told reporters that
Hitler had promised not to seek any more territorial claims. History
proved Chamberlain to
be weak as he only emboldened
Hitler to seek newer and larger territories.
THE CITY OF DANZIG
The city of Danzig was another
creation by the victors of World War I in 1920. At the time it was located in
Poland but there was an ethnic German population since it was close to East
Prussia. The region of Danzig consisted of more than 100 small towns and
villages and was declared a free city under the control of the League of
Nations. Hitler never told the British and French prime ministers that this was
his next conquest and once again used the same ploy as in earlier territorial
grabs. Nazi agents were sent to the area to stir up the people. Hitler began to
publicly speak about how the German population in Danzig suffered under the
control of the Poles and that Germany needed a land corridor through Poland
between Germany and Danzig. The Polish government refused and England and France
finally declared they would protect Poland militarily if the Germans tried to
create a land corridor.
Adolf Hitler began a high stakes
political poker game. It had become clear that he had pushed England and France
into a corner and any further expansion would start a war. His solution was to
sign a pact with the Soviet Union in order to make England and France think
twice before they chose to go to war.
Hitler sent a delegation to Moscow
led by Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop to meet with the Soviet Foreign
Minister Vyacheslav Molotov. A non-aggression pact was signed on August 23, 1939
in which Hitler and Stalin agreed to divide Poland into two sections,
the west for Germany
and the east for
Russia.

Stalin also requested to be allowed
to attack Finland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania and bring them into the Soviet
Union. Germany and Russia would also carve up Romania, which would give Germany
access to the Romanian oil fields.
The ethnic German people in the
Sudetenland and Danzig met a terrible fate in 1945 at the end of WWII. Many were
slaughtered in Danzig when the Red Army rolled in and the rest were forcefully
driven out to resettle in Germany. The same fate happened to the Germans in the
Sudetenland. They paid a high price for their desire to join the Third Reich as
they lost their homes and belongings and ended up in refugee camps when they
came to Germany. Danzig was given the
Polish name of Gdansk.
WORLD WAR II BREAKS OUT
On September 1, 1939,
the German army rolled into Poland as the German Luftwaffe dominated the skies
over Poland with death
and destruction. At the same time German naval forces attacked the Polish
defenders around Danzig. The Polish troops were overwhelmed and it was only a
matter of time before they were defeated. Soviet forces attacked Poland on
September 17th from the east and all Polish resistance was crushed.
Joseph Stalin attacked Finland on
November 30, 1939. The armed forces of
Finland with Swedish volunteers were able to
resist and partially beat back the Russians. By 1940 the three Baltic nations of
Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania had been taken by the Soviets, and before World
War II was over in 1945, 25% of their population had either been killed or
forcefully relocated to Siberia.
England and France declared war on
Germany on September 3, 1939,
but they were not prepared militarily, and instead of preventing the war, they
could only react and it would be five long years before Nazi Germany had been
defeated. More than 80 million people perished in this devastating war that
could have been prevented. Adolf Hitler gambled and lost and the people in the
different nations had to pay with their lives for the poor chess game that had
been played by Neville Chamberlain and Édouard Daladier. Who was the big winner
of World War II? It was Satan and his World Government!
WHERE ARE WE NOW IN 2014?
It is obvious that World War
III is going to break out one
day as we have learned from this
prophetic vision. The high stakes gambler in world politics today is Vladimir
Putin. Opposing him is the World Government and its puppets Barack Obama,
British Prime Minister David Cameron, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and the
French President Francois Hollande.
Obama is a former hippie turned
community organizer in Chicago who was
groomed for politics and elected by a population craving
government handouts and more security. Cameron is a shrewd
politician but he is not that bright when it comes to dealing with ruthless
ex-communists. Merkel grew up in East Germany and does not possess the
aggressiveness that a political leader must have when facing an opponent like
Putin. Hollande is a womanizer and a far left politician who is unable to mount
any opposition to Putin or any other aggressive political foe.

WHO IS VLADIMIR PUTIN?
Vladimir Putin was born in 1952 and
grew up during the glory days of the Soviet Union. He happened to be in the
right place at the right time and became a career agent in the KGB that was
stationed in East Germany for more than 10 years. To become a KGB agent
requires intelligence, aggressiveness and the ability to please your superiors
in order to advance in rank. A good KGB agent must be an excellent liar and have
the ability to skillfully deceive people. Putin had access to the KGB files and
knew about the Jewish leadership in the Bolshevik revolution. He also knew about
the Jewish murderers Lavrentiy Beria and Lazar Kaganovich and that Joseph Stalin
had Vladimir Lenin and Leon Trotsky murdered. He knew about the purges over the
years when
loyal communist leaders were accused of petty crimes and executed.
When the Soviet Union crumbled in
the late 1980’s, he was in the right place and became a protégée of Boris
Yeltsin, an old communist who jumped ship and
betrayed his friend,
Mikhail Gorbachev.
Yeltsin was a corrupt political
leader and knew that when his term as president came to an end, there would be
an investigation, and he might have to go to jail. Just like Richard Nixon did
with Gerald Ford, when
Nixon asked Ford to pardon him after his resignation, Yeltsin and Putin worked
out a similar
agreement. Putin honored his patron and gave him a blanket pardon the moment he
became the new Russian president.
Vladimir Putin became a devoted
member of the Russian Orthodox Church and has rejected his communist roots. He
is a nationalist that dreams of a greater Russia and hates the Jewish world
bankers and their World Government.
Putin is a risk taker and we have
seen this in his annexation of Crimea. He is moving more slowly into Eastern
Ukraine. If you look at the events in Ukraine, you cannot help but notice the
similar tactics used by Adolf Hitler seventy-five years ago. Putin is using the
same playbook, and even more dangerously, he has access to nuclear bombs,
something which Hitler never had but worked hard to achieve.
Adolf Hitler always had to worry
about a two front war. Putin doesn’t have
that problem because his territory extends from Eastern
Europe all the way to the Pacific Ocean. He has signed a strong military and
economical agreement with communist China and
does not have to worry about Japan
which has been reduced to a third world nation when it comes to their military.

Lavrentiy Beria |

Barack Obama and the rest of the
leaders in the West are like paper tigers who like to draw red lines, and when
the line is crossed, they do nothing. They also impose useless sanctions but
they are not willing to be forceful and Vladimir Putin is making them react
like puppets
to every move he makes.
Putin has forces in Syria; his
pilots are also flying from Iraqi airbases and supporting the Shia regime of
Bagdad. He has taken Crimea just like Hitler took the Rhineland.
Now he is slowly grinding down the
Ukraine and has destroyed most of its armed forces and equipment. Obama and his
cronies are imposing sanctions against Russia but they are unsuccessful because
sanctions will never stop a
power hungry man.
Crimea
won’t
be given back to Ukraine and eastern Ukraine is also lost. Putin wants to
restore lost territories to Russia. He won’t be satisfied with eastern Ukraine
because he wants it all. Putin also wants the Baltic States; he is eyeing
Finland and Sweden has been coveted for years. He wants to reunite with Poland
and the other eastern European nations that Russia once ruled when it was the
Soviet Union.
The World Government will never
allow
Russia back into Europe again because it will set back their plans for world
dominion. Putin is aware of the situation and will trigger World War III if he
thinks that he can keep pushing his agenda just like Hitler did so many years
ago.
The situation doesn’t look good as
far as I am concerned. This is a time for Christians to pray that God will hold
back the demons of war and give us time to preach
the
Gospel and lead people to Christ.
Most Americans are like the
passengers on the Titanic that ate, drank and danced until the ship suddenly
struck an iceberg without warning and
perished in the icy waters.
Have you been born again?
Is Jesus your Lord and Savior? This is the time to set your house in order to
meet your Creator regardless of what will happen.
The world’s problem is not ISIS as
the mainstream media would have you believe
but it is the World
Government, Vladimir Putin and the fanatics who surround him.
1930’S AND TODAY
The demonic rulers over the nations
in Europe and Russia encountered little resistance from Christian churches in
the 1930’s. After the war ended in 1945, the Holy Spirit began a mighty work in
the nations which
had been enslaved under the Soviet Union. A strong underground church developed
in Russia and the enslaved nations. Courageous believers in the West started a
network of smuggling Bibles to the believers in the oppressed nations. Some of
the most well-known groups and people were the Swedish Slavic Mission and the
Dutch missionary known as Brother Andrew.
When the Soviet Union fell apart in
1991, the underground churches were able to openly operate and Baptist and
Pentecostal churches began a strong outreach as the Holy Spirit moved upon the
spiritually starved people. The leadership in these churches
didn’t pay attention to
national borders since there is a genuine bond of love between the Christians in
Russia, Ukraine, Poland, the Baltic states and all the other former slave
states. Oppression also creates an urgency and the people in these churches know
how to pray! As Putin is waging war in the Ukraine,
the people in the churches are petitioning the Lord,
and this should provide us with hope. Let’s
join them in prayer for the people who are living under the
threat of Putin, that God will destroy his land grab
attempts and that he will suffer the same fate of
King Herod. (Acts 12:18-24)
A FAITHFUL SERVANT
Jesus warned that
the world population would revert back to the lifestyle that existed before the
great flood
during the time period
before His
second return. He also stated
that people would be so seduced that they
would not even be able to
discern the end of time was at
hand. Jesus exhorted His
followers to stay alert and watch for the signs that would precede his coming.
Jesus then laid
out the steps for a Christian that wanted to be faithful to God. We are to do
the works of God while there is time:
1.
Share the Gospel and leading people to Christ.
(Matt.
28:18-20)
2.
Heal the sick and cast out demons.
(Matt.10:1; Luke 9:1-2)
3.
Tithe to the work of the Lord.
(Mal.
3:6-12)
In order to carry
out these assignments, there should be a corporate effort where
Christians band together to use their resources
in order
to send out people and there will
also be individual work
on a daily basis to
share
your
faith in Christ with unbelievers.
It didn’t take many days after the Day of Pentecost
until believers in Christ
had
organized themselves in Jerusalem
to take care of daily needs and reach out.
(Acts 4:23-35)
As individuals,
we are commanded to give 10% of our income to the work of the Lord.
The
tithe is
normally
given to
the
church that
you
attend, but as pastors and denominations are moving deeper and deeper into
apostasy, it is hard for a Christian to know what to do with his tithe. The
logical rule is that you put your tithe into the place where you are spiritually
fed, but if the church you are attending is not feeding you the whole counsel of
God, it is a sin to support such a church since they are not carrying out the
will of God. Therefore, if
you put your tithe into a ministry that squanders
the money on projects which
God has not called them
to do,
you will also
be held
responsible. It is your responsibility to find a ministry that meets your
spiritual needs and that is where your tithe should be given if you want to be a
faithful servant.
As we approach
evil times, we should take an inventory
of
how we spend our time and finances.
When you see refugees on television
coming out from Syria into
Turkey or Jordan, these
men, women and children
are
staggering toward safety and
carrying small
bundles of belongings. Their homes,
possessions, jobs,
cars and bank accounts are forever gone.
They
have nothing to give as refugees
to the
spreading of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
All that you have
will
one day
be taken away in a war or through
death. This begs the question:
how much did you invest in the
Kingdom of God? Everything
you invest in the Kingdom of God
will be waiting for you in heaven, where the dividend is 100% of what you
invested. If you haven’t thought about
it, now is the time to spend
less money on yourself and more money on the different ministry’s
God has on earth.
“Who
then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his
household, to give them meat in due season?
Blessed is
that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
Verily I say
unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.
But and if
that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; And
shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the
drunken;
The lord of that servant shall
come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not
aware of, And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the
hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
(Matthew 24:45-51)

Biblical Truth
Concerning the State of Israel
John S. Torell
Early in January 2009 the Holy Spirit moved upon Pastor
John to preach on the political State of Israel from a
biblical point of
view in order to shed light on the Zionists and their Christian
supporters. From its creation in 1948, the State of Israel has been hailed
as a fulfillment of Ezekiel’s prophecies, but why would God need men to
lie, cheat, kill and destroy to accomplish this task?
Pastor John digs into history to show how the
Israelites entered the Promised Land and how they lost it. Over the
centuries, the political parties of the Pharisees and Sadducees were formed
along with the creation of the Talmud and the Cabala. It was against this
backdrop that Jesus - the true Messiah - was repeatedly confronted to set up
an earthly kingdom but He brought out that the kingdom of Israel was
forever gone. The Jewish leadership were not interested in a heavenly
kingdom and took it upon themselves to re-establish Israel and continue to
wait for their messiah, which the Bible tells us is Satan himself.
Many Christians don’t understand just how
interconnected the coming Antichrist will be with the political state of
Israel as the Beast of Revelation chapter 13 slowly tightens his grip upon
the world. The tragedy is that most pastors have not understood that the
current State of Israel is not of God and Christian Zionists are mislead
because they don’t understand the truth. The purpose of this series is to
establish biblical truth in order to keep you out of the clutches of the
Antichrist system and to reject the Mark of the Beast that is just around
the corner.

THE SIX-POINTED STAR - O.J. Graham
The
hexagram became known as the Seal of Solomon after he married the daughter of
Pharoah, built an altar to Ashteroth and entered into Baal worship. Since then,
usage has continued in Solomonic rituals of freemasonry. Long used in magic and
witchcraft, the six-pointed star has been used as the chief symbol of worship to
Moloch in burnt human sacrificial rituals. Used by Druids and astrologers, the
six-pointed star has been used consistently in the occult, and was used by
occultist Adolf Hitler during the holocaust. In more recent times, it has almost
replaced the seven-branched candlestick given to the Israelites as an
everlasting covenant. Is the 666 seen in the six-pointed star a sign of things
to come?

ISRAEL: OUR DUTY, OUR DILEMMA - Ted
Pike
This
book explains how the ancient Pharisees led Israel astray and how those same
“blind guides” today continue to prejudice Jews against Christ and Christianity.
Ted Pike demonstrates that Jewish opposition to the gospel, far from being over
with in the book of Acts, continues today in movies, television, Jewish “civil
liberties” groups, in anti-missionary laws in Israel, as well as explaining the
only workable, Biblical solution to strife in the war-torn Middle East.

GOD'S KEY TO HEALTH AND HAPPINESS -
Elmer Josephson
Five years after writing
Deceived on Purpose: the New Age Implications of the Purpose Driven Church,
former New Age follower Warren Smith continues to reveal how Christian leaders
wittingly or unwittingly are leading the church into a spiritual trap.
A "Wonderful" Deception examines church metaphors,
concepts, and beliefs that are essentially the same as those being used in
today's New Age teachings. And while biblical prophecy is being minimized and
explained away, the "new science" is being used to prepare the world -- and the
church -- to accept a New Spirituality and a false New Age Christ.
This book explains how all the puzzle pieces are in place for
the strong delusion described in 2 Thessalonians. A "Wonderful" Deception
pierces right into the heart of this deception while preparing believers in
Jesus Christ to effectively stand against it.
