1) Several articles discuss signs that the end times are approaching, including a potential Israeli attack on Iran's nuclear facilities before the end of 2008, the placement of the Temple Mount under international control, and the requirement for Americans to have national ID cards. 2) Other articles discuss increasing tensions with Iran and China, as well as debates over military spending and the EU seeking to establish its own embassies. The Irish rejected the Lisbon Treaty and France is pushing for Ireland to vote again. 3) Overall the summary highlights prophecies related to the end times and increasing globalization and conflicts involving Israel, Iran, China, and the European Union.

1. EARTHQUAKES: A SIGN OF THE ENDTIME • THE IRISH SAY NO TO LISBON TREATY • BORN WHAT WAY?
For 184 years, from the birth of the
United States in 1776 to 1960, homo-
sexual acts were criminal in all fifty
states of the United States of America. On
May 29, 2008, the state of Colorado passed
a law criminalizing speaking against homo-
sexuality. What has produced this amazing
flip-flop in American moral values?

The followers of Mormonism claim that the book of Mormon was written on golden plates be-
tween 600 BC and 400 AD. They claim that Joseph Smith translated the golden plates into Eng-
lish with the help of an angel in 1830 AD. However, this claim cannot possibly be true because
entire chapters of the Book of Mormon were copied word for word out of the King James Bible.
The King James Bible did not exist until 1611 AD, 1200 years after the golden plates were sup-
