Prophecy, I think for the most part because of the book of Daniel and the kings dream. The statue represents (Daniel 2; 40-43) the kingdoms of the earth, And all preachers alike are saying we are waiting on the pope to be the false prophet and an empire likened to Rome. Well this same theory of what Daniel says has been around for as long as I can remember. So for me I decided to take God for one moment out of a box. And open my mind to what else it might say. Well I found That the U.N. has 189 members to a world judicial system, and everyone knows that a judicial system, pretty much has control of that it governs, then I found that the name of this system is the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. It is a treaty between 189 countries and it is to force peace, it is clearly a dictatorship. And the chairman or president is a man named Phillipe Kirsch, he is French-Canadian and of European decent. I just thought that if everyone was looking one way maybe we should really look somewhere else. After all Daniel does say that the prophecy of his book will be sealed until the end. Also when reading the documents I found that they gave it (the judicial system) a personality and even called it a personality. Which makes it a person per say. It is also from the start a rocky treaty one that doesn’t look at all like it will hold together. Maybe when we think rome we should look at a bigger rome. Maybe when we say world religion we should look at all religions combined that have stepped away from simplicity. God says him or mammon. So, all who worship mammon would be of one and all who worship God (yah) shall be of one. From the looks of things mammon is taking over the world. Or already has. I ask that you read this and pray over it for answers. Also remember that when we read the whole world will worship it....worship truly means bow down to...(give in)

I must admit again, I am not "into" (for lack of a better word) biblical prophecy. We have a guide to follow; we have the roadmap to where we need to go. The commandments are signposts. Jesus is the guy by the side of the road, always able to give directions when we've lost our way. If we follow His way, what should happen will happen. That sounds corny, I know. I am a bit on the Hallmark-side when it comes to faith, I guess.
I suspect you are right about the won't be able to.
I am also disturbed by the likes of SCUBA TEDDY ET AL who are increasingly hostile to Israel.
Certainly we are to
FEAR NOT! as many Scriptures exhort.
But, Christ Himself exhorted us to watch the signs of the end and to be alert, aware, discerning and especially walking close to Him; listening to HIS VOICE; His Spirit etc.
Otherwise, there's a lot to be said for the Hallmark focus on the positiveness of The Gospel and a relationship with God.
THX.
Do you collect cowbells or what?
Don't know what we did with ours when we sold the cow.
AMEN!
Why not? Do you think that we are to weak?
Welcome aboard, matey. Keep yer eyes opin, fur danjer lurks on evree side. {;D
The technology is here: ID chip implants (how long before they are fitted with a poisonous release, activated by 'on star').
What keeps the USA in a stable condition? Obviously, the blessings of God. What would be the single greastest blow to our economy? Food shortage. I live right smack in the middle of the corn belt. I'm 50 and have seen, especially in recent years (1988 was bad), how close we have come, now and then, to a food supply crisis. I've seen years where we have been rescued by 'just in time showers'. Should we have 2 or 3 '1988's in a row, look out. Food prices will skyrocket, and there will be no money for entertainment industries, high rates of joblessness would result. Welfare numbers would go off the charts.
When people are hungry who cares about some ol' 'mark of the beast' anyway? (serious sarcasm)
Gotta work, will check in later.
up against combined world nations yes I think anyone would be weak
the top url gives a list of the laws concerning the 189 countries which is most of the world with the exception of a few countries like sweden...it is a treaty between all and forces peace, if any one person or country goes against the laws the rest involved in this will watch as the country or nation or person is tried by a world court. The second url shows why America opposes the new world justice system even though it is a member.

see you.....take good care
I'm pretty sure that the Roman Empire was the Roman Empire we were waiting on.
It was of course, but as prophecy says there will be a last kingdom like the roman empire....the roman empire was a dictatorship....only this kingdom will consume the world. The feet in the statue in the book of Daniel represents a world Kingdom made of Iron and Clay. Meaning it will be strong and weak and will not stay mixed. We now have a world empire a treaty signed by all countries and a world justice system that is a treaty signed by all the countries. (they are already at odds) But now if a country goes to war it will be prosecuted for war crimes unless of course 188 of the 189 countries go after the one country for crimes against the treaty. But they all must be in unison. (in lament terms) Therefore it is a new world dictatorship and we have all seen what has happened to all other dictatorships in the past. If you read the page http://www.un.org/law/icc/statute/romefra.htm
you will see that it should have dictatorship posted in bold black at top.....:)
I agree with you there....they need help all right.
I do not think you go far enough. We do not just abandon Israel, we turn against her, as do all nations. It will have national support.
yes and no...I believe that this treaty (constitution to the world, peace treaty) means we are combined as a world. So if 185 go after Israel it means the world. Even if we sit back and watch....due to penalties under the strictest law we (U.S) can not go against the system as a whole, we are therefore powerless. As with Israel now, they have signed an agreement saying they will leave the Gaza, even though the people didnt sign it, their leader did, so they are bound. If they refuse this World court system will hear the palestinian side and The jews will be forced to abide by the agreement according to the world government system. We all know it takes a judicial system to have a country, well now we have one big one, we are now all one country so to speak with this new world court system.
You can't be neutral on this one. The powers that be, in Washington, are leading the charge. The time will come when they will not have to hide their contempt for Israel and for God. The wheat will bow down and the tares will stand tall when we get near to the harvest. No one will be on the sidelines.
(I am not so sure washington is in as much control as people think anymore)<<<just an opinion. It may look like it but it to me looks very unstable. And with 189 or more signatures all of them not the biggest fan of the U.S. Who knows who really has the most power now. To be honest, in Canada I know a judge is indicting the prime minister. I know my dad was 26 years military retired U.S. army and he said the supreme court judge was the power house. So that leads me to believe the president of the Rome Statute of the ICC (head judge) is the power house now...I know what your saying about all against Israel, but I won't be in that line I assure you there. Every mans hand will be against his brother in the end. But I am saying before it elevates completely to the end and the restoration of Jerusalem, we will go through many very fast stages (the world as a whole) and then everything will break lose, everyone will not be involved right at the first of this war. The more I watch the news the more bickering I see. It is as though every country is nit picking another, it feels more unsettling now to me and it is as though you can feel a very big argument brewing between everyone. Everyone wants to fight about something it seems. And that includes just individual people about the smallest things. What is your opinion?
also if America becomes unable before or at the same time things happen in Israel we will not be able to even move. All I know is my scripture talks about a last war. I have read the countries involved the only thing it says about tarshish (the british founded colonies)to my knowledge, is they will be desolate.
Actually, I just like the graphics. They crack me up.
I've never had a cowbell....:(
