Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have been deployed since the mid-1990s for use in visual reconnaissance in battle fields, proving beneficial especially in Iraq and Afghanistan. At first these drones were only armed with cameras or video capability to find enemy targets, but they subsequently were equipped with Hellfire missiles and other air-to-ground guided missiles to […]
A New World Order Arises
German Reunification The most unexpected and significant expansion of the EC occurred in 1990 as a result of the crumbling of the Berlin Wall and the dissolution of communism across Eastern Europe. The resultant reuniting of East and West Germany into a new super-state promised to dramatically affect the course of world events. This […]
EMV Global Electronic Payment Systems
The three major credit and debit card companies, Europay, MasterCard, and Visa, have created a standard for universal smart card communications and payments that will make a cashless society possible. Called EMV (from the companies’ initials), the standard enables more secure electronic payments that use contact-based or contactless interactions with point-of-sale (POS) terminals worldwide. The […]
North Korea Missile and Nuclear Tests
North Korea continues to develop its military capability as it test fired another long-range missile in late December, 2012. The country now has demonstrated the potential of reaching the west coast of the U.S. with a ballistic missile, which can threaten major population centers containing millions of people. In this case, the missile placed a […]
Israel a Middle East Energy Giant?
The small nation of Israel has been dangerously dependent on external petroleum producers to supply their energy needs. The vast oil and gas fields of the Middle East always have been controlled by the surrounding Islamic nations, which are hostile to the very existence of Israel. However, that is about to radically change. Israel […]
Formation of the European Community
In June of 1955 the ministers from the six countries of the Coal and Steel Community met to consider the next step in the march toward European unity. With Monnet’s influence along with U.S. support, they began to lay the foundation for an even more ambitious economic market. Two years later on March 25, 1957, […]
The Empire-Beast Today
Before proceeding any further in Revelation chapter thirteen, we need to pause and apply these prophecies toward what is currently happening in our generation. Logically, if we really are in the midst of the final generation before the return of Christ, then we should be able to see the final world order taking shape today. […]
The Empire-Beast Arises
The Deadly Wound If we now continue with John’s description of the rise of this final world power, we see that his vision continues to parallel Daniel’s almost exactly. “And I saw one of his heads as though it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed, and all the world wondered after […]
The Beast with Seven Heads and Ten Horns
John’s Vision Although we will study much of the book of Revelation as we progress through the prophecies of Christ’s return, chapter thirteen is especially important for the discussion at this time. In one relatively brief passage, the Lord adds considerable detail to Daniel’s original predictions concerning the rise and fall of the last world […]
The Dreadful and Terrible Beast
When these prophecies are correlated to the last days before Christ returns, it is primarily the fourth world empire which is the most important to understand. In Nebuchadnezzar’s dream, the fourth power (which we have before identified as the empire of Rome) was pictured within the image of a metallic human figure as the legs […]
Biometrics is Becoming Standardized
Biometric scanning is becoming standardized on hand and iris scanning technology (Image: Finextra Research). Digital records of biometric identities are being used with smart cards containing advanced microchips for everything from medical records to train passes to bank cards and national ID cards. The major credit card companies are about to introduce new interactive cards […]
Daniel’s Vision of the Four Beasts
Nebuchadnezzar was not the only one to have a vision of the future course of world history. After Daniel was given the interpretation for the king’s dream, he went on to have several prophetic visions of his own. Each of these predictions adds considerable detail to what was first given in the prophecy of Nebuchadnezzar’s […]
RFID Now Used to Monitor People
Radio frequency identification (RFID) has been used for years to identify and track the movement of goods and animals. Although the technology was invented in the 1970s, it wasn’t until the late ’80s and ’90s when it began to be used extensively. RFID chips contain a radio frequency transponder and an antenna that can respond […]
New Israeli Settlements Around Jerusalem
The government of Israel recently announced that it was approving the construction of thousands of new homes in an area around East Jerusalem. Israel is continuing their expansion of Jerusalem in the heavily contested region of the West Bank, which the Palestinians claim as their own territory and capital. The United Nations and most […]
The Final Empire
Daniel did not stop with the predictions of the rise of the Persian and Greek empires. He went on to describe one other significant power that would come after them. And it is this one last prophecy that turns out to be the most important of all for a full understanding of the last days. […]
The Interpretation
The Lord had protected Daniel through many trying times. Would the God of Israel now save him from certain death at the hands of an angry king? Daniel was not certain, but he at least wanted enough time to pray and ask the Lord to intervene; perhaps God would reveal the dream and its interpretation […]
Nebuchadnezzar’s Dream
The Vision and the Threat Daniel lived during one of the greatest upheavals in Israel’s history. In the early stages of the Babylonian exile, he was taken captive as a young man during Nebuchadnezzar’s first attack upon the southern kingdom of Judah. Daniel and several of his friends were destined to eventually become servants in […]
The Final World Empire
In an age of electronic wonder where news and events are seen instantly all across the globe, it is no surprise that the world seems to be developing into one large interconnected community. Today, a person can become intimately familiar with the lives and concerns of others who may live halfway around the world simply […]
Russia in the Bible
From Rosh to Russia The name of Magog is not the only tribe or people that Ezekiel mentions. He also says that the future nation of Magog would be the principle leader of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal. Actually, in many Bibles this portion of verse 2 is typically translated as “…Magog, the chief prince of […]
The Time of the End
The most important passage concerning the wars of the end occurs in the book of Daniel. In chapter 11 and continuing in chapter 12, Daniel discusses in detail the major prophetic events as they will occur during the reigns of the last three world powers: Persia, Greece, and Rome. The development of these prophecies within […]
