Now, this hasn't been absolutely verified, but Hal Lindsey is a very reputable man and is very cautious about what he says.

Germany had Italy sign a defense pact before the start of WWI. Of course, at the time of he signing of the agreement, Italy had no way of knowing that Hitler was about to start a war. Now, I am by no means defending Mussolini, he was an evil man, but he was tricked into signing a treaty with Germany, that made him obligated to come to their defense in a time of war, but that treaty was unconditional and Italy still had to comply with it eventhough Germany started the hostilities.

Anyway, my point is, these 3 countries have been emboldened by the divisiveness of our country and believe the US is in a weakened, gutless, cowardly state. They're probably right in believing this. Anyway, these countries signed a pact that said they would defend each other in the event of any hostilities directed at them, regardless of who the antagonist was. We need to be very careful. Russia, Iran and Syria have a very strong alliance and if we declare war on 1 of them, we will have to fight them all. I am still trying to see what Russia has to gain by this alliance, but the only thing that makes since to me is that the "motherland" is still very nationalistic and very bitter about losing the cold war and they have nothing but a vandetta against the US and our allies and will do whatever they can to get their "revenge."

The main point of Hal's article seems to me to be.....

"Thank God that you have received the gift of pardon that Jesus purchased by dying in your place under the judgment for your sins. You will be miraculously snatched up to heaven to meet Him before the antichrist is revealed."

"But if you haven?t received this free gift of pardon and accepted Jesus into your life, now is the time. Don?t put it off. It is like playing Russian roulette with eternity. Pray right now and receive your forgiveness. Ask Jesus Christ to come into your life and make it what He wants it to be. He will give you new desires, new joy and purpose for living. Do it now."

..... if you are not His, you need "Jesus Christ and Him Crucified" Now!

Love, Joe

I usually don't trush Hal Lyndsey's speculative "news", but if he is right about the alliance, I hope that is enough of a disincentive to avoid falling into another overseas conflict. No one wants to start another World War, I hope we do the right thing here.

Reputable an cautious! Perhaps there are two Hal Lindsey's.

China and Russia already have a defence pact called the shanghai pact.

Our greatest threats are allied against us. Hmm, the outlook doesn't look too good for the good ole' USofA.

The bible is filled with the rise and fall of powerful nations that embraced hedonism over righteousness. Our country has begun to embrace Hedonism and like Greece and Rome, our country will fall too, unless we repent and turn to God. But, I feel that Christians no longer have influence over how our country is legislated and as surely as Rome and Greece fell, we will too.

I have a feeling our fall will be much swifter and at a greater cost than those empires combined. I'm afraid we may be witnessing the fall of our country now.

Why are we hated by muslims?

Our support of the Jewish? The arabs and jews have had a long standing history of living together in peace, the current turmoil over Jerusalems is being fanned by radical seperatists. Fundamentalists they may be, the koran is filled with teachings of jihad and war.

But, I believe the US is hated by the muslims, not for our stand with Israel, but for how filthy and disgusting our culture has become.

They are offended by our media, ever since DVD's have made the distribution of our culture cheap and efficient and ever since satellites were first used to blanket the world with our lifestyle, resentment and nausea has exploded and these "holy" people are disgusted by us, we are no longer the city upon the hill, our socialist america hater hollywood nuts have succeeded in diminishing our influence and turned our country into vile hipocrits, but we can't entirely blame hollywood, they just give the market what it demands and America demands violence, lewdness, pornography, blasphemy, hedonism, materialism etc. I could go on.

Our culture must change and we need to end our tolerance for our filthy media, we need to put our feet down and say No more, never again.

The US is collapsing in itself, in debt in military spendings in all. America will not play a role in ww3. China however will march with 200 million men.

Good point, I wonder how they will be able to fund an army of that size. . . Oh yeah, there's millions of Americans that have practically no choice in the products they buy now, we are giving China hundreds of billions of dollars a year in merchandise and because of that, they have tripled their military budget. Us Americans have no one to blame buty ourselves for China's success.
