REVEALING THE FUTURE THROUGH BIBLE PROPHECY
EVEALING THE UTURE THROUGH IBLE ROPHECY

2. Many have stated that it is impossible to know whether or not we are living in the last days
before the second coming of Jesus Christ. However, below you will find dramatic proof that
these are the endtimes. The proofs below defy coincidence.
Euphrates River to Be Dried Up In Revelation 16:12, the Bible predicts that the Euphrates
River will be dried up to prepare the way for the kings of the east to invade Israel. This will happen at the time of the bat-
tle of Armageddon according to verse 16 of the same chapter. The battle of Armageddon will be the final battle at which
time Jesus will return and fight on the side of the nation of Israel. Immediately thereafter He will establish His kingdom
and usher in His one thousand-year reign of peace. On January 13, 1990, the Indianapolis Star carried the headline “Turkey
Will Cut Off Flow of Euphrates for One Month.” The article stated that a huge reservoir had been built by Turkey. While
filling up the reservoir, the flow of the Euphrates would be stopped for one month and a concrete plug for a diversion chan-
nel built. These things have now been done. With this newly built dam, Turkey has the ability to stop the Euphrates River
at will. The conditions for fulfilling this 1,900 year-old prophecy are now in place.
China Goes to War In Revelation 9:15-16, the
Bible prophesies that an army of 200 million soldiers will launch a war which would kill “the third part of men.” Never in
the history of the world until our present generation has there been a power on earth that could field 200 million soldiers.
However, the late ruler of China, Mao Tse Tung boasted in his diary that he could field an army of 200 million. The CIA
World Factbook reports that in the year 2001, it is estimated that China has 200,886,946 men of military age, and this num-
ber is growing by 10 million per year.
Worldwide Numbering System Predicted In Revelation 13, the Bible prophesies that a
world dictator will soon rule over a world government. He will cause all people in the earth to receive a number without
which they will be unable to buy or sell. We are seeing this prophecy fulfilled before our eyes in a most astonishing way.
Nearly every human being in the world now has been assigned a number. In America it is our Social Security number. In
the past few years, we have seen this number extended to newborns. A child without a Social Security number cannot be
declared as a dependent on an income tax return. We have seen the emergence of electronic money, shopping with credit
cards, and many people urging the abolishment of cash. All of these things could not possibly have been fulfilled until this
present time. Only after the invention of the computer could such a worldwide numbering system be administered.
The Emergence of a New World Order Revelation 13:7 and
Daniel 7:23 prophesy the establishment of a world government. The term “New World Order” has become a prevalent
phrase in the world’s political culture. Mikhail Gorbachev made the term famous, and Pope John Paul II has referred to
it repeatedly. In the September 12, 1990 issue of the Chicago Tribune, our former president George Bush said, “Iraq is
the first test for the New World Order.” He emphatically stated that the Iraq War is Saddam Hussein against the world.
The United Nations’ troops are continually referred to as the multi-national forces. The decision has been made to estab-
lish an interdependent community of nations that will rule the world under United Nations authority. The Bible says
that this will lead us into a great world government. The formation of this government is at hand.
Coincidence or Divine Providence?
Is it coincidental that all of these major prophecies pertaining to the last times are being fulfilled simultane-
ously?

1. Pray. Prayer changes things. Pray for those in government. “If my people, which are called by my

will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” (II Chronicles 7:14)
2. Send this article to each of your Senators and Representatives.
3. Demand the repeal of this enslaving legislation. Make it a litmus test in your next election—and every
election thereafter. Demand that each candidate state publicly that he will fight the National ID. If a
candidate won’t do this, vote against him. If he says he will do it, but then doesn’t after being elected,
vote him out in the next election’s primaries.

with Maurice Strong
BY IRVIN BAXTER JR.
The real power of the United
Nations lies with the UN Security
Part 3 Council. The Security Council can
pass resolutions concerning any
nation or situation on earth. It can
place a nation under economic sanc-
tions to produce pressure on that
nation to bow its knee to the edicts of
the UN. It can decide that the world
community should attack a nation,
replace its government and even place
its leadership on trial before the
World Court. A recent example of
this course of action was the invasion
of Yugoslavia and the ongoing trial of
Slobodan Milosevic.
The Security Council consists of
five permanent members and ten
