A Most Sobering Email

I received the following email today from Irvin Baxter's Endtime Ministries:

President Bush:
Final 7 years will begin this year!

President Bush has said that he believes the final seven years to the Battle of Armageddon will begin yet this year!

He didn’t say it in exactly those words. What he said was that he believed a final peace agreement between Israel and the Palestinians would be concluded before the end of this year.

The Bible says, when this happens, the final seven years to Armageddon and to the Second Coming of Jesus will begin.

2008—Greatest year of prophetic fulfillment in 2,000 years

Major prophetic fulfillments normally happen once in a century. There are presently FOUR MAJOR prophetic fulfillments converging in one year! That’s the reason I believe 2008 will probably be the greatest year of prophetic fulfillment since the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

The 4 prophecies that are converging right now?

Two Billion to Die

The Bible specifically prophesies a war for the near future that will kill one-third of mankind—two billion human beings. This war will start from the area of the Euphrates River (the area of Iraq and Iran), and will escalate into the worst war the world has ever known. This will happen at about the same time as the signing of the Middle East peace treaty.

Mark of the Beast

Three and one-half years after the Middle East peace treaty, the mark of the beast will be implemented on earth. All who take the number of the Antichrist (666) will be eternally lost! The UN has asked all nations to implement a number system for all of their citizens by 2010, and almost every nation is doing it right now! In America, it’s called the Real ID.

Antichrist will come from re-born Holy Roman Empire

The Bible prophesies that the Antichrist and the False Prophet will come to power out of a re-born Holy Roman Empire. The Holy Roman Empire is being recreated right now! On December 13, 2007, the 27 member nations of the European Union, the area of the old Holy Roman Empire, signed a constitution. The constitution is presently in the ratification process. The new Holy Roman Empire is expected to be complete by the end of this year or by early next year.

Mideast Peace—A prophecy with a date on it

Most prophecies in the Bible do not have a time attached to their fulfillments. However, the prophecy about the coming Middle East peace treaty does. President Bush believes it will happen yet this year!



Wow! I can't deny it; I do believe we are living in the end times, but these are some rather sobering facts. But the MOST sobering fact is not mentioned here. In Jesus's own words, He said in Matthew 7:13-14, "Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it." FEW will find the way to eternal life! FEW, not many! These people who believe we have to open our hearts and minds and broaden our way of thinking to encompass all religions and all paths to God (which is an oxymoron; there's only ONE way) can't see they are advocating the wide gate that leads to death! And if we are indeed in the final 7 years, there is not much time for these people to come to truth and repentance and acceptance of Jesus Christ, and only Jesus Christ, as their Lord and Savior! These become urgent times!
