  1. Any scripture on how America figures prominently in the last days?

    Extracted from the above link I posted:-

    The prophet Zechariah witnessed the removal of the demonic spiritual force that once inspired the ancient nation of Babylon. This woman was placed in a basket and Zechariah was told that she was being taken away to a new land where Babylon would again re-emerge.

    • Then the angel who was speaking to me came forward and said to me, "Look up and see what this is that is appearing." I asked, "What is it?" He replied, "It is a measuring basket. " And he added, "This is the iniquity of the people throughout the land." Then the cover of lead was raised, and there in the basket sat a woman! He said, "This is wickedness," and he pushed her back into the basket and pushed the lead cover down over its mouth. Then I looked up--and there before me were two women, with the wind in their wings! They had wings like those of a stork, and they lifted up the basket between heaven and earth. "Where are they taking the basket?" I asked the angel who was speaking to me. He replied, "To the country of Babylonia to build a house for it. When it is ready, the basket will be set there in its place."
      Zechariah 5:5-11

    On October 28th, 1886, President Grover Cleveland accepted the Statue of Liberty on behalf of the United States. In the ceremony which celebrated the unveiling of this ancient pagan deity, he spoke these words, "We will not forget that Liberty has here made her home;

    nor shall her chosen altar be neglected."

    It's only with the destruction of America as the world's superpower (political, economic, military) in the last days, and by extension the breakdown of law and order (worldwide, not just in U.S.) that the Antichrist could emerge to become the One World Dictator.

    I'm referring to WW3. That's in the Rabbinic tradition, that there will be 3 great wars before the Second Coming of Christ:-

    1) WW3

    2) Russia invades Israel

    3) Armageddon

    Do a google search for Nimrod's birthday. All in agreement about December 25th. The above is one such site.

    The following are not exactly related to OP, well kinda because America is figured prominently in the last days. Or more specifically, her eventual demise as a prominent player on the world's stage. Anyway, thought I post these links to 2 interesting articles. Check out the website as well.

  3. Worthwhile to read this:

    (edited by moderator to remove conspiracy links)

    Btw, go to my profile and search out all my old posts of a couple of years ago, wherein I posted about the Antichrist, that his background would be Semitic, a descendant of Abraham but not a Jew. Also, I mentioned that his religion would be Islam.

    Meanwhile, this is what I came across regarding Nimrod (a Cushite) as a first type of Antichrist:

    Nimrod's birthday was celebrated in ancient Rome (Saturnalia) on December 25. In Chaldee, native language of Nimrod, Saturn is spelled STUR.

    S = 60

    T = 400

    U = 6

    R = 200

    ------

    666

    ------

    In Islam, it is said that their Mahdi to come would be a Cushite.

  4. Check out Daniel 11:21-24

    "Next to come to power will be an evil man not directly in line for royal succession. But, during a crisis he will take over the kingdom by flattery and intrigue. Then all opposition will be swept away before him, including a leader of the priests. His promises will be worthless. From the first his method will be deceit, with a mere handful of followers, he will become strong. He will enter the richest areas of the land without warning and do something never done before; he will take the property and wealth of the rich and scatter it out among the people."

    The above prophecy could have dual application - that happened in the days of Daniel where monarchy existed, as well as in the future being a description for the ascendency of the Antichrist, namely someone not in line for succession or not eligible for a presidency? But during a crisis - maybe today's economic crisis ;) he would get elected - by flattery and intrigue - or by promising "change" and charisma, respectively?

    Huh, anyone we know? :24::emot-hug:

    Anyway, am speculating :24:

    In the Trenches: A window into Israel's soul

    Posted by David Harris

    If all we knew about Israel came from the media, which seems to have an aversion to upbeat stories, how would the country be portrayed? Images of war, conflict, corruption, and domestic fault lines would dominate.And if all we knew about Israel came from international organizations, which make a habit of singling it out for vilification - especially each November, when Israel's very creation becomes an annual target for its enemies at the UN - what would we see? A nonstop litany of accusations of every conceivable evil known to humankind.

    For many, these are the only sources of information about Israel.

    But anyone who's been to Israel understands that the real place, seen up close, is quite different. That's why there's no substitute for a first-hand look.

    Okay, Israel isn't perfect. It has its share of problems. But what country - even among the most highly developed in the world - doesn't have its shortcomings? And no one else faces the unique security challenges, with all the stresses and strains, which are Israel's daily fare.

    That said, Israel's got an awful lot going for it - robust democracy, cutting-edge innovation, thriving arts, astonishing diversity, and no-holds-barred debate.

    Above all, it has a zest for life.

    You don't have to believe me. Confirmation comes from an unlikely source, Sheikh Nasrallah, Hizboullah's leader, although he draws rather different conclusions.

    He declared: "We have discovered how to hit the Jews where they are the most vulnerable. The Jews love life, so that is what we shall take away from them. We are going to win, because they love life and we love death."

    This love of life isn't just about hedonism or narcissism, though, of course, Israelis aren't immune.

    The few murderous exceptions, such as Yigal Amir or Baruch Goldstein, are just that - exceptions, who were roundly condemned for their brutal violence.

    It's about something more. The Israeli zest for life derives from the Jewish interpretation of the meaning of life - namely, inspired by a higher authority, to be agents of change for a more humane and compassionate planet. It's about the oft-cited Jewish notion of tikkun olam, or healing the world.

    Some have argued that Israelis would be justified if they turned inward, circled the wagons, and said to hell with a world that hasn't always treated either Jews or Israel fairly. And they argue that Israel, as the only UN member nation targeted with annihilation by both state and non-state actors, could be excused if it succumbed to total self-preoccupation in the interest of self-preservation.

    Yet these views don't prevail. There's an irrepressible Israeli yearning to engage the world and make it better.

    And herein lies a window into Israel's soul, which may not be the stuff of media coverage or UN resolutions, but reveals an all-too-rare inner truth.

    Consider some striking examples:

    Wherever disaster strikes in the world, a group called Israeli Flying Aid is ready to respond. Made up of hundreds of volunteers who donate their time, it goes at a moment's notice to places near and far that have been struck by earthquakes, tsunamis, cyclones, floods, and political violence. The goal is to distribute food and medicine, provide first-aid assistance, and offer other survival help.

    These volunteers are active in countries that have ties with Israel - and those that don't. Often, their work is below the radar because countries accept their help, knowing the level of experience and professionalism, but, sadly, don't want it known that it's being provided by Israelis. But that public rejection has never been a deal-breaker for the group because lives hang in the balance. And sometimes they risk their own well-being to provide relief without government approval.

    Or take Save A Child's Heart, another completely volunteer effort. Based at the Wolfson Medical Center, near Tel Aviv, a team of dozens of top-flight medical personnel treat children with major cardiac problems from around the world, including the West Bank and Arab countries, and also train personnel in other lands to perform surgery.

    Or consider Hadassah Hospital in Jerusalem, which I had occasion to visit recently. Stand in the entrance or walk its corridors. From secular Jews to devout Muslims, all patients receive outstanding care. And if you probe, you'll discover that some of those patients are from countries that not only have no ties to Israel, but even regularly accuse the Jewish state of infecting Arabs with deadly viruses. Yet their citizens find round-about ways to reach Israel and benefit from its lifesaving health care.

    Which brings us to the 13-year-old boy whose parents brought him to Israel after doctors in Iran, their native land, and Turkey were unable to treat his life-threatening brain tumor. Their names haven't been revealed for fear of retribution once they return to Iran, a country that calls for a world without Israel. But there they were at Sheba Hospital in Tel Hashomer counting on quality care to save a life - and getting it.

    Or take the aftermath of a recent terrorist attack in Jerusalem, where the wounded Israeli was transported to the same hospital as his Palestinian assailant, who was shot by police, in an effort to save both their lives.

    Visit Hebrew University, where the thirty-fourth class of students studying for a master's degree in public health was recently welcomed.

    The overwhelming majority of the students, many already physicians or health-care professionals, come from developing countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. They receive full stipends from Jewish foundations to get their degrees. When they complete the program, they are far better equipped to improve public health and, yes, save lives.

    And at this moment, courtesy of Israel, a large group of African physicians is in the country for an annual program of advance training. They come from across the continent, including Ethiopia, Kenya, Nigeria, Tanzania, and Uganda, and they're spending several months acquiring new medical skills, once again, to save lives.

    Last month, a group of twenty-five students from two Israeli medical schools, Tel Aviv and Ben-Gurion universities, traveled for two weeks at their own expense to Ethiopia to volunteer in health agencies. Their goal, driven purely by idealism, was to help with de-worming efforts, especially in HIV/AIDS patients.

    And one last particularly striking example. Remember the two Israeli soldiers, Eldad Regev and Ehud Goldwasser, who were kidnapped across an international border by Hizbullah in 2006, triggering a war that summer? They were wounded when abducted, but very much alive. Earlier this year, their corpses were returned to Israel in a so-called swap.

    In contrast, among those sent back to Lebanon was Samir Kuntar, a Hizbullah terrorist captured by Israel after he killed a four-year-old Israeli girl and her father in 1978. The details of the murders, according to Newsweek, were "so sickening they give pause even to some of Israel's enemies." These barbaric acts, for which he has never apologized, earned him a hero's welcome upon his arrival to Beirut.

    Not only was Kuntar returned alive - Israel, after all, has no capital punishment, even in such grisly cases - but he came back to Lebanon with a bachelor's degree in hand, courtesy of the Open University in Israel!

    Yes, Sheikh Nasrallah is right in one respect - Jews love life, and not just for themselves. With its humanitarian spirit and pioneering medical research and technology, Israel is a small country making an outsized difference on the world stage in advancing the quality of life.

    But Nasrallah also believes that the cult of death has the upper hand. Here, he couldn't be more wrong.

    In truth, the affirmation of life, as embodied by Israel, will always triumph over an ideology grounded in murder and mayhem.

  6. Whats your take on Stephen's research ino the giants?

    Excellently researched, I would say. An interesting read that also left me without doubt that they existed and were of gigantic stature (as described in the OT). There's mention in the Bible that their bones would remain till today.

    Then remnants of them probably existed sometime after Noah's Flood in the form of what we in modern times term as Neanderthals whose DNA differed from humans. (Btw, Neanderthals are currently a cover feature story in the October issue of the National Geographic mag).

  7. I visit raiders at least once a week. Have you listened to the interview posted there with Stephen Quayle and Tom Horn? Very interesting.

    Yes, I've read a number of their articles. For instance, check out http://www.newswithviews.com/Horn/thomas10.htm

    Stephen Quayle has his own website at http://stevequayle.com/index1.html

    Nasrallah says Israel's disappearence an inevitable fact

    By JPOST.COM STAFF AND AP

    Hizbullah head Hassan Nasrallah on Friday said Israel's "disappearance" is an inevitable fact.

    "If Israel's attacks Lebanon again, we will wage war without any preconditions," Nasrallah said during a speech in Beirut in honor of Hizbullah arch-terrorist Imad Mughniyeh, who was assassinated last week in Damascus.

    "The disappearance of Israel is an inevitable fact. It is an historical process in the region which will come to an end in several years," he said.

    Nasrallah said Mughniyeh's death in a car bombing earlier this month in Syria was a "pre-emptive" strike meant to set the stage for the assassination of more of Hizbullah's top leaders.

    "We consider Hajj Imad's assassination as a pre-emptive operation, not merely an act of revenge," the Shiite cleric added, using a title of respect for the slain commander reserved for Muslims who complete a pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia.

    According to Nasrallah, Hizbullah will not stand quiet following Mughniyeh's assassination.

    "There is no possibility that we will not respond to the murder of our loved and dear ones. We will not allow the enemy to continue and murder our commanders and dear ones."

    Nasrallah also said that Hizbullah has beat Israel many times in the past, the most recent time being the Second Lebanon war.

    "We are ready for a new victory," he reiterated.

    "After their loss in the war of Tamuz [second Lebanon War], Israel is getting ready for a new war. I don't mean to scare, but warn."

    "Your army and its tanks will be destroyed in the south and Israel will be without an army and then it will be no more," he added.

    Nasrallah threatened Israel with an "open war" last week after Mughniyeh's killing, a comment that has sparked criticism and fears at home and abroad. Saudi Arabia and Kuwait have issued travel advisories to their citizens in Lebanon, and two French cultural centers were closed in the country this week.

    The Hizbullah leader sought to assuage domestic fears Friday, assuring foreigners in Lebanon that they were not the target for future attacks by saying "our enemy is Israel and our revenge is against Israel."

  9. We can't equate the Israeli of today with the Israelites of ancient times because there are many Arabs who have been given citizenship of Israel and so are also called Israelis. They may also not be of the Judaism faith.

  10. Islam is Satan's last trump card to wipe Israel off the map in order that Jesus could not come back to earth to set up the Millennium Kingdom. Islam will the religion of the Antichrist initially and then after he's resurrected and indwelt by Satan, will renounce his religion, destroy Babylon which is the ecumenical One World Apostate Church that will be headed by the False Prophet, and declare himself as God.
