Thank you for writing. Here are some things for YOU to think about:
Judging by the fact that more than 300 prophecies have already come true (including Israel's becoming a nation once more and in one day, exactly as the Bible prophecied, which made two prophecies come true at once) - Judgment Day IS coming, whether you choose to "believe" or not" and the end as we know it IS near.
Therefore, if you don't believe anything else, I would ask you to keep your eyes open for a very charismatic man who will cause the signing of a seven-year peace treaty with Israel. After that time, you'll be able to count exactly seven years until Yeshua returns (the guy Christians are calling "Jesus") and the world as you know it will come to a screeching halt (and you can call it "natural disasters and calamities" or anything else you want, because the end result will be the same: Most of mankind will be GONE and the rest will be left wondering what happened!). Bottom line is, there are just three more Biblical feasts to fulfill, and the time for people to get their heads out of their butts is drawing to a dangerous close.
"Other religions" can have all the "accurate prophecies" they want, but the thing is, there is only ONE Creator and His Name is YHWH (Yahweh), not Allah, not Krishna, or anything else. The Bible tells us Satan can counterfeit some of what God does, and that is where other "religions" come in, including Christianity which borrowed the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and turned Him into a wimpy blond, blue-eyed adonis, who in no way resembles the Torah observant, seventh day Sabbath and Feast keeping kosher JEW who actually walked the Earth 2,000 years ago and spoke to the world as God Incarnate, face-to-face to give us a glimpse of who He is, how He wants to be worshipped and obeyed (in order to get us ready for the "new heaven and new Earth). Yeshua showed us how to treat each other according to HIS wishes (instead of what we have become - a decadent bunch of lying, raping, killing, self-serving, self-centered me-persons who have no respect for anyone or anything anymore, and are perpetrating crimes like blowing up the Twin Towers, just to "make a statement" or setting little five year old boys on fire just because they live in a Jewish neighborhood.....
In an earlier email you argued that other religions have been around a whole lot longer than Christianity and also used the cross as a symbol, etc. Well, the "religions" might have been around longer than Christianity, but they weren't around when God created the heavens and Earth and gave mankind His Torah (teachings) without which we would have NO blueprint for moral, Godly behavior. Right from the beginning Man disobeyed and God gave us chance after chance, but Man wasn't listening. Yahweh predates "religions" of ALL kinds! He set the rules, and Man has been disobeying Him every since; that's why He allowed "the nations" (Gentiles/non-Jews) to become heathens and pagans, doing their own thing - that's why we have all these weird "religions".
After Noah's time, Abraham was apparently the ONLY one listening, and God promised Him that he would prosper and multiply and never forsake him. In other words he and his descendants would be God's "Chosen" who were to be a "light unto the nations" - which the Jews have been; that's why the world hates them and has been and still is, trying to annihilate them (and in these end times we're in, it's the Muslims who are attempting to do just that, but it won't be long before another Bible prophecy comes true: the entire world will go up against Israel). Even the United States has begun to turns its collective back on Israel, helping to split up God's nation. (By the way, Hurricane Katrina was God's way of getting back at us because almost the same number of people were displaced in New Orleans as we helped to displace in Gaza, just a couple months before! Coincidence?) Nobody stops to think that, if God hadn't "scattered the Jews into the nations" Yahweh would have remained the biggest secret of tiny little Israel and the entire world would be steeped in paganism without ANY believers in the TRUE Creator. That is, after all, what the fight is all about. Yahweh REVEALED Himself to us, but we just had to go off and come up with our own "religions"....
The thing is, all other "religions" are strictly man-made and most have copied from the Bible. To wit, Islam, the biggest "religion" in the world, in which Mohammed "borrowed" Scripture from the Torah (first five books) and twisted it into something that suited him. Islam was born 600 years after Christ, yet they proclaim to be THE RIGHT religion. I've asked Muslims, if that's the case, then why didn't Mohammed come up with his very OWN rules instead of borrowing from the Bible and tweaking the ORIGINAL Word? Even those weird Raelians have borrowed from the Bible, as have the followers of that UFO cult, the Gaia Guys who worship anti-Semitic aliens....Isn't it strange that there are so many anti-Semitic "religions"? Gee, have you ever wondered why everything always come back to Israel and the Jews?
Satan has counterfeited God's Word in order to confuse people - and it has worked! It wasn't enough that he managed to take the actual Word of God that Yeshua (Jesus) taught, and approximately a hundred years later, caused people to start Catholicism which spawned Christianity which spawned a gazillion "denominations" - Other "religions" had to come into play so there would be plenty of "stuff" to take people's eyes off the Truth....
No wonder there are so many atheists!
Do you realize that the Bible tells us that many will be beheaded in the end times. I wondered about "beheaded" when I first "got saved" back in 1995, because who on Earth beheads anymore? Well, the answer is, the Muslims - and they have already started reviving this ancient horror! There are some videos of actual beheadings on my friend, Simon Altaf's site Abrahamic-Faith.
God is using the spirit of Islam to usher in His end times scenario because "Allah" has commanded that Muslims kill all "infidels" - any non-Muslims, and those who refuse to convert. I've written an article to show that the Antichrist will be a Muslim, the "beast" is Islam, and the "mark" will be acceptance of Islam by those who claim to be believers in Christ, simply because they fear death at the hands of Muslims. Islam, Christianity and other "religions" have changed God's times (as foretold in the Bible which is very precise about keeping the seventh day Sabbath and the Biblical Feasts - they are the SIGN which separates true believers in Yahweh from "other gods")....While Christianity is looking toward Catholicism to be the "beast", Islam is sneaking in the back door.
Isn't funny how acceptance of Islam seems to be the mantra today? No matter how much they terrorize the world and slaughter innocent people, we are all so "forgiving" to the point that some American airports have actually begun spending millions of dollars to accommodate Muslims footbaths! But mention Jesus, and everyone is down your throat! It's all part of Satan's plan. He wants to get as many away from Yahweh as possible, because he knows how "The Book" ends! False gods and false religions are the "in thing" today - And most people aren't the least bit aware....
And yes, the "antichrist" WILL be attracting a lot of attention. He will be a charismatic person (and no, it ain't Prince Charles and some of the other people who have been predicted to be the antichrist) who will be a major people magnet, saying and doing all the "right things" and generally able to get the entire world to follow him. Judging from what the Bible says, he will probably be a Muslim. Without going into a lot of detail, he gets practically everyone in the world to follow him (except for those who know their Bibles and are obedient to our Creator), and for exactly three and a half years (just as the Bible says) there will be perfect peace on Earth (after the signing of the peace treaty with Israel, which is the central focus of the Bible and all conflict, especially today). After the 3 1/2 years (which is half of seven, God's perfect number), he will show his true colors and begin instituting some serious things, including a system whereby no one can "buy or sell" unless they have the "Mark of the Beast". And that "mark" will be the bowing down to Allah and converting. Islam is beginning to control many of the world banks and businesses and no one seems to notice it.
There's a whole lot of stuff in the Bible that most people haven't got a clue about. The Evil Bible bunch spends all their time fishing out certain scriptures to show how awful God is and how there's supposedly so much contradiction in the Bible. None of them realize there is NO contradiction and that the Bible, when read in CONTEXT with the help of the Holy Spirit - which is a requirement before being able to understand ANYTHING in the Bible - the Bible fits together like perfect pieces of a puzzle. I always ask the Evil Bible types who write to give me the odds of even two prophecies coming true, especially in our lifetimes, like the prophecy about Israel becoming a nation again as promised 3,000 years ago - but, of course, they all come back with the same mantra you've sent: "Anyone can make a prophecy come true".
Yes, one can "pooh-pooh" and "reason them away" them from now till Doomsday, but it would certainly behoove people to start wondering: WHAT IF....
