‘Coast to Coast’ audience told: ‘Be Thou Prepared’
image: http://www.wnd.com/files/2012/07/end_times.jpg
Pastor and author Carl Gallups will be a guest on the popular radio program “Coast to Coast AM” overnight Wednesday into Thursday morning to discuss his new book, “Be Thou Prepared: Equipping the Church for Persecution and Times of Trouble.”
Gallups is scheduled to appear starting at 1 a.m. Eastern Thursday, which is 10 p.m. Wednesday night Pacific. And he brings a warning to Christians around the globe – the world is not safe and it is time for the church to prepare for what is to come.
“Coast to Coast AM,” or “C2C” as it’s often called, has more than 600 affiliates reaching more than 3 million Americans seven days a week. And Gallups says it’s an ideal place to teach about the difficult subjects in his new book.
To be released by WND Books on Sept. 15, “Be Thou Prepared” is a guide containing detailed and specific information on spiritual and practical readiness, covering everything from remaining steadfast during persecution to organizing relief efforts during crisis situations. The book even includes guidance on how to create a church security ministry team to ensure the physical safety of congregants.
It’s also a theological tour de force, covering such difficult subjects as whether Christ’s command to “turn the other cheek” means Christians must abjure self-defense and explaining whether Christians should know how to use firearms.
Gallups points out the global instability wreaking havoc on everything from the economy to national defense. More importantly, Gallups claims, America is in the midst of a social revolution which makes his message more important than ever.
“‘Be Thou Prepared’ speaks to the turbulent times we live in, not just in the world, but especially in relation to the changing cultural and spiritual landscape in the United States,” Gallups told WND. “This book is written primarily for Christians, but in truth, anyone can benefit. It covers all the logistical, spiritual, and philosophical issues all Americans are going to be dealing with in the years ahead, as our country deals with the consequences of becoming totally unmoored from our social, political, and above all, moral traditions.”
Gallups’ previous book, “Final Warning: Understanding the Trumpet Days of Revelation,” laid out his case Americans are living in a “prophetic generation” that may see the end times. He believes his current book is a guide about how Christians can prepare themselves as individuals and communities to make it through this time of danger.
It’s a view shared by Joel Richardson, a Christian apologist, filmmaker and evangelist. The author of the New York Times bestseller “Mideast Beast: The Scriptural Case for an Islamic Antichrist,” praised “Be Thou Prepared,” saying: “Across the earth, there is a growing sense that we are now rapidly approaching the last days. Now is the time to get ready. Pastor Carl Gallups’ latest work draws upon his past as a police officer with his present calling as a pastor to give us a solid and well-thought-out action plan to prepare for what lies ahead.”
Gallups believes Christians have a moral responsibility to plan ahead for difficult situations.
“It’s not a sign of faithlessness,” says Gallups. “It’s a way of showing the wisdom to be faithful with what God has entrusted to us.”
Gallups urges every church and Christian family in the country to become involved with planning, thinking ahead and aggressively preparing for the potential of tough times. Gallups even invokes Scripture to emphasize what he believes is the duty of Christians to organize for the worst case scenario.
“Look at James 4:17,” teaches Gallups. “Knowing what to do, for the sake of good, but not doing it, is sin.”
Gallups identifies specific incidents when civil society collapsed, most notably in New Orleans immediately following Hurricane Katrina.
“You ended up with the worst of both worlds,” Gallups observed. “You had widespread criminality, anarchy and disorder, and somehow, at the same time, you had government officials going around enforcing wildly tyrannical guidelines and even confiscating firearms.”
As a result, Americans may be forced to rely on themselves for protection, meaning Christians have to begin planning now.
“Once the need becomes apparent,” warns Gallups, “it will already be too late.”
However, Gallups sees preparedness not just as a tool for survival, but a tactic for evangelism. “‘Be Thou Prepared’ isn’t just a manual that answers questions about preparedness; it’s a guide to how the early church acted in circumstances that in some ways were similar to our own,” says Gallups. “They experienced disasters, persecution, and unbelievable trials, and yet they still ministered the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the world and spread the truth of the Word.”
Gallups urges Christians to accept the challenge thrust upon this generation.
“We are living in prophetic times,” he said. “But this is grounds for excitement, not despair. I hope in some small way, my book will show Christians how they can serve themselves, their communities, and the world in this difficult age, and I look forward to taking that message to the people.”

What the ‘abortion king’ taught us about humanity
By Terry Beatley
In light of the Planned Parenthood videos, the question Americans must answer is how do we want our government to view us – as creatures or as Creations?
I visited with Dr. Bernard Nathanson, the former co-founder of what is known today as NARAL Pro-Choice America, and he had some strong opinions about this question and his 1970s pro-abortion propaganda campaign. He gave me his personal parting message to deliver to America, along with instructions to teach the 8-point strategy of how and why he deceived our country, especially women. I promised him I’d do it, and success is centered on returning Americans to the simple question – creature or Creation?
I’d bet that the staunchest atheist and I can agree that we would rather be viewed as Creations because history has made it bloody clear what happens when government views people as anything less. Even Planned Parenthood’s founder, Margaret Sanger, “The Birth Control Queen,” could attest to that. She was publicly (keyword here) opposed to abortion BECAUSE she knew it killed a human being – and, oh my, gentle reader, wasn’t she right? I bet even Margaret would cringe and get queasy, just like we did, if she could view what her employees are doing today!
That queasiness comes instinctively to us because written onto our hearts, unless they are callous, is the ability to triangulate between beauty, goodness and truth. We know instantly when looking at a mother cuddle and kiss her newborn baby that that is an image of absolute beauty. Because of the beauty, we can triangulate and see goodness and truth. Juxtapose that image to a chopped up baby in a dish with little arms and eyeballs swirling in his or her blood and we know instantly that that is not beauty, nor goodness. It’s a multi-billion dollar lie. Thank you, Miss Margaret, for making that unequivocally clear.
Perhaps you’re wondering, “If the Birth Control Queen was not officially for abortion, what in Hades happened to her organization centered on controlling the births of those she deemed unfit? I wanted to ask her, but she had died and gone to … well, somewhere.” So, 43 years later, while doing what feminists said I would despise, that is, I quit my salvific, self-actualizing career to stay home with my two “parasites,” I was able to interview Dr. Nathanson.
He knew a lot, for he “helped nurture the creature in its infancy by feeding it great draughts of blood and money; [he] guided it through its adolescence as it grew fecklessly out of control.” (“The Hand of God,” Regnery, 1996, p. 4) In 1970, as the pre-eminent doctor for abortion and the face of NARAL, he was working for legislation that would repeal New York’s anti-abortion law and strip the unborn child from all rights and protections. Now imagine this: Planned Parenthood was sitting on the sidelines disengaged from the legislative battle, and Dr. Nathanson asked for a meeting with its leaders to present his case on why they should get involved in decriminalizing abortion. The Board listened to his demands, but they seemed unmovable.
The repeal bill, though, passed into law, and since NARAL and feminists had convinced America that “it” wasn’t a baby – just a product of conception, a blob of tissue, or, of course, just a “choice” – demand was very high, and, like a good wine, probably the brand Planned Parenthood’s medical director sipped in the first undercover video, the taste of profits was too much. The DOLLARS began to flow – about $65,000,000 in New York alone. Despite the deceased founder’s public opinion that abortion was murder, Planned Parenthood soon asked Dr. Nathanson if he would teach them how to do the procedure and how to run a “clinic.” For two years, the embryonic abortion beast took copious notes and learned directly from “The Abortion King.”
So, back to the butchered babies in the recent videos. Years later, after Dr. Nathanson recognized that babies in the womb are marvelous Creations and he had decided against suicide, he warned America about the slippery slope of Roe v. Wade.
He even calculated the monetary value of “creatures,” and it was a goldmine. Take diabetes, for example. In 1996, when Dr. Nathanson issued his warning, there were 1.4 million diabetic Americans who could be treated with “freshly aborted fetus” tissue. Success, though, required functional fetal pancreatic tissue to be from babies 14 and 20 weeks old. Unfortunately, one “creature” was not enough; “it requires the tissue from eight fetuses [Latin for ‘young children’] to substitute for the deficient pancreas in the adult. … Thus we [abortionists in America] would need to abort 11.2 million fetuses annually” at that age range to “treat all of the insulin-dependent diabetics in the United States.” (“The Hand of God,” p. 163.) Do the math: 11.2 million pancreases times $25 a pancreas.
Where would this “tissue” come from? If you noticed, there seemed to be a deficit in fetal parts for diabetics, which, of course, means a massive shortage on parts nationwide for other diseases. I mean, shucks, just Parkinson’s alone needs four babies’ brains and nerve tissue to be between 9 and 12 weeks old for every one Parkinson’s patient. Folks, we now know where we are on the slippery slope … way at the bottom. From the mouth of babes, whoops, I mean from the mouth of Dr. Mary Gatter, a bigwig at Planned Parenthood, she let her gold tooth shine when she remarked, “I want a Lamborghini.” Yes, indeed, I bet she’d look hot in that $300,000 car for an old lady who sells dead baby organs. I’ll keep my mini-van with as many child safety seats as it can hold.
But seriously, America, does our humanity really matter? If we are not Creations by the God of the Universe who gifted us with the unalienable right to life, which no government or Supreme Court can take away, then we are mere creatures of the state without any basis for rights and protections. Could it be that all of our rights are abrogated when greedy, fallen man pushes God out of governance? President Lincoln provides the answer with a question: “I would like to know if taking this old Declaration of Independence, which declares that all men are equal upon principle, and making exceptions to it, where will it stop? If one man say it does not mean a negro, why may not another man say it does not mean another man?” We now know what he meant.
Dr. Nathanson told me to tell America to “Love one another. Abortion is not love. Stop the killing. The world needs more love.” So let’s choose LOVE and RESPECT for God’s Creation. Anything different and we’re nothing more than the sum of our body parts.

Meet ‘The Harbinger Man’
ASHINGTON – It’s been a tightly kept industry secret throughout a year of planning and production, but now the imminent release of a new movie about the inspirational – even miraculous – life of messianic rabbi Jonathan Cahn, New York Times bestselling author of “The Harbinger” and “The Mystery of the Shemitah,” can be announced.
Coming this fall, there will be a limited theatrical premieres, special screenings and a simultaneous DVD release of “The Harbinger Man” – an up-close and personal story of the unlikely star of evangelical Christianity and messianic Judaism.
The documentary is the work of WND Films, which also produced the first film version of “The Harbinger” message with the release in 2012 of the best-selling “The Isaiah 9:10 Judgment.”
image: http://www.wnd.com/files/2015/08/Harbinger-Man-8-17-15.jpg
Though the movie’s official release is in October, advance purchases are available now at Amazon and the WND Superstore.
“We’re expecting this to be our biggest movie release of 2015,” said Joseph Farah, producer of the film. “It will be out well before Christmas and immediately following the close of the Shemitah year Sept. 13, an event being eyed by believers and unbelievers alike around the world. We think people will want to know more about this somewhat mysterious Christian leader who exploded on to the national and world scene three years ago.”
What even Jonathan Cahn’s most enthusiastic fans and followers don’t know, according to Farah, is “how God has had His hand on Cahn’s life from the earliest years. His life has been miraculously touched by God, guided by God and blessed by God – and you’ll get to see that story for the first time in ‘The Harbinger Man.’”
If you would be interested in helping to coordinate theatrical screenings in your community, church screenings or other special events in connection with the movie in October, you are encouraged to contact WND Films through the email address marketing@wnd.com.
“The Harbinger Man,” like “The Isaiah 9:10 Judgment,” which was the bestselling faith movie of 2012 and 2013, was directed by WND Films Vice President George Escobar, who also directed the Academy Award-nominated “Alone Yet Not Alone.”
“It’s time to start getting excited about ‘The Harbinger Man,” says Farah. “If you haven’t yet read Jonathan Cahn’s two books or seen ‘The Isaiah 9:10 Judgment,’ you can get those shipped to you immediately as a warm-up act for this main event in October. Those who order ‘The Harbinger Man’ directly from the WND Superstore now will get the first prints off the replicator – weeks before you will see them in stores.”
In addition to producing movies like “The Isaiah 9:10 Judgment” in cooperation with Jonathan Cahn, WND Films has also produced three volumes of unique and inspirational teachings by the messianic rabbi. They are great for family viewing, church showings and Bible studies – and they are available right now.
To view all of Jonathan Cahn’s books and movies, visit his special pages in the WND Superstore.

‘Love of power, love of money’ leads to tyranny
The Constitutional Convention was in a deadlock over how large and small states could be represented equally. Some delegates left. Then, on June 28, 1787, 81-year-old Benjamin Franklin spoke and shortly after, the U.S. Constitution became a reality.
Franklin stated: “Groping as it were in the dark to find political truth, and scarce able to distinguish it when presented to us, how has it happened, Sir, that we have not hitherto once thought of humbly applying to the Father of lights. … In the beginning of the Contest with Great Britain, when we were sensible of danger, we had daily prayer in this room for Divine protection. Our prayers, Sir, were heard and they were graciously answered. All of us who were engaged in the struggle must have observed frequent instances of a Superintending Providence in our favor. … And have we now forgotten that powerful Friend? or do we imagine we no longer need His assistance?”
Franklin concluded: “We have been assured, Sir, in the Sacred Writings, that ‘except the Lord build the House, they labor in vain that build it’ … I also believe that without his concurring aid we shall succeed … no better than the Builders of Babel.”
Ben Franklin had given another address at the Constitutional Convention on June 2, 1787, titled “Dangers of a Salaried Bureaucracy”: “Sir, there are two passions which have a powerful influence in the affairs of men … ambition and avarice – the love of power and the love of money. … When united … they have … the most violent effects. Place before the eyes of such men a post of honor, that shall, at the same time, be a place of profit, and they will move heaven and earth to obtain it. … What kind are the men that will strive for this profitable preeminence, through all the bustle of cabal, the heat of contention, the infinite mutual abuse of parties, tearing to pieces the best of characters? It will not be the wise and moderate, the lovers of peace and good order, the men fittest for the trust. It will be the bold and the violent, the men of strong passions and indefatigable activity in their selfish pursuits. These will thrust themselves into your government and be your rulers. …”
Franklin explained further: “There will always be a party for giving more to the rulers, that the rulers may be able, in return, to give more to them. All history informs us, there has been … a kind of warfare between the governing and the governed; the one striving to obtain more for its support, and the other to pay less. … Generally, indeed, the ruling power carries … and we see the revenues of princes constantly increasing, and we see that they are never satisfied, but always in want of more. The more the people are discontented with the oppression of taxes, the greater need the prince has of money to distribute among his partisans, and pay the troops that are to suppress all resistance, and enable him to plunder at pleasure.”
Franklin concluded: “There is scarce a king in a hundred who would not, if he could, follow the example of Pharaoh – get first all the people’s money, then all their lands, and then make them and their children servants for ever. It will be said that we do not propose to establish kings … but there is a natural inclination in mankind to kingly government. … They would rather have one tyrant than five hundred. It gives more of the appearance of equality among citizens; and that they like. I am apprehensive, therefore – perhaps too apprehensive – that the government of the States may, in future times, end in a monarchy … and a king will the sooner be set over us.”

Plato wrote of this in “The Republic,” 380 B.C., that government would transition from being ruled by lovers of virtue, to lovers of honor, to lovers of money:
“Now what man answers to this form of government. … He is a … lover of honor; claiming to be a ruler. … Busy-bodies are honored and applauded. …”
“Is not the passionate element wholly set on ruling … and getting fame?”
“Not originally of a bad nature, but having kept bad company … becomes arrogant and ambitious…”
“Such an one will despise riches only when he is young; but as he gets older he will be more and more attracted to them, because he has a piece of the avaricious nature in him, and is not single-minded towards virtue …”
“The love of honor turns to love of money; the conversion is instantaneous.”
Plato continued:
“Because they have no means of openly acquiring the money which they prize; they will spend that which is another man’s.”
“They invent illegal modes of expenditure; for what do they or their wives care about the law?”
“And so they grow richer and richer … the less they think of virtue … and the virtuous are dishonored. …”
“Insatiable avarice is the ruling passion of an oligarchy. …”
Plato added of this politician:
“He has … allowed the blind god of riches to lead the dance within him…”
“He will have many slavish desires, some beggarly, some knavish, breeding in his soul…”
“If he … has the power to defraud, he will soon prove that he is not without the will, and that his passions are only restrained by fear and not by reason.”
Frederic Bastiat explained in “The Law,” 1850, how politicians are tempted toward “legal plunder”: “Man can live and satisfy his wants only by ceaseless labor; by the ceaseless application of his faculties to natural resources. This process is the origin of property. But it is also true that a man may live and satisfy his wants by seizing and consuming the products of the labor of others. This process is the origin of plunder. Now since man is naturally inclined to avoid pain – and since labor is pain in itself – it follows that men will resort to plunder whenever plunder is easier than work. …”
Frederic Bastiat continued: “It is evident, then, that the proper purpose of law is to use the power of its collective force to stop this fatal tendency to plunder instead of to work. … But, generally, the law is made by one man or one class of men. … This fact, combined with the fatal tendency that exists in the heart of man to satisfy his wants with the least possible effort, explains the almost universal perversion of the law. Thus it is easy to understand how law, instead of checking injustice, becomes the invincible weapon of injustice.
“It is easy to understand why the law is used by the legislator to destroy in varying degrees among the rest of the people, their personal independence by slavery, their liberty by oppression, and their property by plunder. This is done for the benefit of the person who makes the law, and in proportion to the power that he holds.”
In “The Spirit of the Laws,” 1748, Montesquieu wrote: “In a popular state, one spring more is necessary, namely, virtue. … The politic Greeks, who lived under a popular government, knew no other support than virtue. … When virtue is banished, ambition invades the minds of those who are disposed to receive it, and avarice possesses the whole community. … When, in a popular government, there is a suspension of the laws, as this can proceed only from the corruption of the republic, the state is certainly undone.”
The Law of Moses admonished in Exodus 18:21 on how to choose leaders: “Thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness.”
Harvard President Samuel Langdon stated in his address “Government Corrupted by Vice,” May 31, 1775: “They were a sinful nation…who had forsaken the Lord; and provoked the Holy One of Israel to anger. … Everyone loved gifts, and followed after rewards … more than the duties of their office; the general aim was at profitable places and pensions; they were influenced in everything by bribery; and their avarice and luxury were never satisfied, but hurried them on to all kinds of oppression and violence, so that they even justified and encouraged the murder of innocent persons to support their lawless power, and increase their wealth.”
Noah Webster wrote in his “History of the United States,” 1832: “When you become entitled to exercise the right of voting for public officers, let it be impressed on your mind that God commands you to choose for rulers ‘just men who will rule in the fear of God’ … If the citizens neglect their duty and place unprincipled men in office, the government will soon be corrupted; laws will be made not for the public good so much as for the selfish or local purposes; corrupt or incompetent men will be appointed to execute the laws; the public revenues will be squandered on unworthy men; and the rights of the citizens will be violated or disregarded. If a republican government fails to secure public prosperity and happiness, it must be because the citizens neglect the divine commands, and elect bad men to make and administer the laws.”
President Jackson warned Dec. 5, 1836: “There is no such provision as would authorize Congress to collect together the property of the country, under the name of revenue, for the purpose of dividing it equally or unequally among the States or the people. … The practical effect of such an attempt must ever be to burden the people with taxes, not for the purposes beneficial to them, but to…support a band of useless public officers. … All would be merged in a practical consolidation, cemented by widespread corruption, which could only be eradicated by one of those bloody revolutions which occasionally overthrow the despotic systems of the Old World.”

PREVIEW -FROM THE BOOK – CHAPTER TEN – PROPHECY EXPLAINED, 666 POSSIBILITIES, MORE
CHAPTER 10
End Times Prophetic Positions
Is America in the End Times Prophecies?
The wounded beast of Rev. 13:3 comes back. Near the beginning of this e-publication we discussed the prevalent opinion that the nation of Rome (specifically the Papacy) was the “beast” of reference in this first part of Rev. 13. However, we specifically mentioned that there are thousands of interpretations regarding Rev. 13:3.
Interpreting Prophecy Really Isn’t That Hard
DEFINITIONS:
WATER = people. MANY WATERS = many people.
BEAST =Empire/Nation.
HORNS = Ruling power.
It’s really that simple.
John (the writer of Revelation) saw a second beast coming up out of the earth Re 13:11 Then I saw another beast, coming out of the earth. He had two horns like a lamb, but he spoke like a dragon. Is there any other nation that has formed without many people such as America?
The U.S.A. was “like a lamb”, “ in nature, not evil, not bent on conquest, and had two horns (i.e. a division of power in its government, D.F.L. and Republican). Plus there were no crowns, so no kings, and it was ruled by the people, but not very many, so no “many waters” and the USA grew by natural reproduction and immigration of people from other nations who wanted to live in freedom.
It is now a super-power and certainly capable of enforcing the mark of the Beast on all the world and it does speak like a dragon.
What’s this About the Mark of the Beast?
Most “authorities” do not see America in the latter days of this earth. They feel for the most part that American will be replaced by a future New World Order, maybe dominated by the United Nations. Let’s start with verse 11 again, but look at the rest of Rev. 13:
Re 13:11 Then, I saw another beast, coming out of the earth. He had two horns like a lamb, but he spoke like a dragon. Re 11:7
12 He exercised all the authority of the first beast on his behalf, and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed. Re 13:3
13 And he performed great and miraculous signs, even causing fire to come down from heaven to earth in full view of men.
De 13:1-3; 1Ki 18:38; 2Ki 1:10,12; Mt 24:24; 2Th 2:9; Re 16:14
14 Because of the signs he was given power to do on behalf of the first beast, he deceived the inhabitants of the earth. He ordered them to set up an image in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived. 2Ki 20:7; 2Th 2:9-10; Re 12:9; 19:20
15 He was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that it could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed.
Re 16:2; 19:20; 20:4
16 He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, Re 14:9; 19:20; 20:4
17 so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name. Re 14:11; 15:2
18 This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man’s number. His number is 666. Re 15:2; 17:9; 21:17
666
There are several thousand, YES THOUSAND, interpretations of this number.
Taking a minor look. per numerous writings, at the “Mark of the Beast”, we would infer that it represents an Antichrist spirit. Now the Roman Catholic church definitively states it has changed God’s law in moving the Sabbath day to a day worshipped by pagans or the Sun God.
The Roman Catholic hierarchy says in essence: “we changed it, and that change is a mark of our power to overrule God’s law and authority”. The reader will recall that Elohim rested on the seventh day (Saturday) and called that day “Holy” and a day of rest with no work being done. And, no, this writer is not a Seventh Day Adventist.
The letters inscribed in the Pope’s miter according to a weekly Catholic newspaper called Our Sunday Visitor, of April 1915 are these words: Vicarius Filii Dei, which is Latin for “Vicar of the Son of God”. These words are not, at present, in the pope’s miter, but these words are in the coronation ceremony of each newly crowned pope. The following is certainly true, but in no way does this writer specify the Pope as the obvious 666. The following is an example:
If each letter is given its Roman numerical value we have:
V = 5
I = 1
C =100
A =0
R – 0
I = 1
U or V = 5
S = 0 for a total of 112
Then
F =0
I = 1
L = 50
I = 1
I = 1 for another total of 53
Then
D = 500
E = 0
I = 1 for a total of 501
Adding 112, 53 and 501 = 666.

Lucii Ferraris, in a book entitled Prompta Bibliotheca Canonica Juridica Moralis Theologia, a book printed by Rome and sanctioned by the Catholic encyclopedia states, “The Pope is of so great dignity, and so exalted, that he is not a mere man, but as it were God, and the Vicar of God. The Pope is, as it were, God on earth, chief king of kings, having plenitude of power” – Volume VI pp. 25-29.
The above taken from http://www.amazon.com/The-Beast-Dragon-Woman-Crews/dp/1580190227
Islam claims the number 666
On a Zola Levitt program on the Internet, Walid Shoebat, (mentioned above) a former PLO terrorist, stated his first reading of the Greek symbol for 666 was Bismillah which means “In the Name of Allah”. See www.FreeJesus.net for a visual representation of the symbol. Crossed swords might be involved, which is a symbol of Islam. So both Allah and Islam may be represented in the Greek 666.
At www.Yahoo66619.org Muslims state: “The number 666 is highly publicized all over the world and it is associated with evil and danger. However, it is not what it seems. It was a Satanic trick—-to prevent the people approaching the 666. Satan knew that the 666 is the book of God and the people should be kept away from it. According to his plan, he placed a bad image to the number 666. The truth is that The Quran is the 666. The Book from the “Lord of the Universe”. Searches on the Web of quran 666 or sura 1 to sura 36 is 666 add to this belief. The Muslim interpretation of the number and the book is of course just the opposite of what all other “religions” believe. The reader will recall reading in the first part of this publication, of how Islam is not really a religion, but rather a political ideology.

Matthew Henry on 666
Mathew Henry, in his massive book, http://www.amazon.com/Matthew-HenrysCommentaryWholeBible, Regency Reference Library, Zondervan Publishing House, Grand Rapid, Michigan, copyright 1961, states re. Rev. 13:11, specific to “the second beast”,
“III. The methods by which this second beast carried on his interests and designs; they are of three sorts:–
-
Lying wonders, pretended miracles, by which they should be deceived, and prevailed with to worship the former beast in this new image or shape that was now made for him; they would pretend to bring down fire from heaven, as Elias did, and God sometimes permits his enemies, as he did the magicians of Egypt, to do things that seem very wonderful, and by which unwary persons may be deluded. It is well known that the papal kingdom has been long supported by pretended miracles.

Excommunications, anathemas, severe censures, by which they pretend to cut men off from Christ, and cast them into the power of the devil, but do indeed deliver them over to the secular power, that they may be put to death; and thus, notwithstanding their vile hypocrisy, they are justly charged with killing those whom they cannot corrupt.
-
By disfranchisement, allowing none to enjoy natural, civil, or municipal rights, who will not worship that papal beast, that is, the image of the pagan beast. It is made a qualification for buying and selling the rights of nature, as well as for places of profit and trust, that they have the mark of the beast in their forehead and in their right hand, and that they have the name of the beast and the number of his name. It is probable that the mark, the name, and the number of the beast, may all signify the same thing–that they make an open profession of their subjection and obedience to the papacy, which is receiving the mark in their forehead, and that they oblige themselves to use all their interest, power, and endeavor, to promote the papal authority, which is receiving the mark in their right hands. We are told that pope Martin V. in his bull, added to the council of Constance, prohibits Roman Catholics from suffering any heretics to dwell in their countries, or to make any bargains, use any trades, or bear any civil offices, which is a very clear interpretation of this prophecy.
-
We have here the number of the beast, given in such a manner as shows the infinite wisdom of God, and will sufficiently exercise all the wisdom and accuracy of men: The number is the number of a man, computed after the usual manner among men, and it is 666. Whether this be the number of the errors and heresies that are contained in popery, or rather, as others, the number of the years from its rise to its fall, is not certain, much less what that period is which is described by these prophetic numbers. The most admired dissertation on this intricate subject is that of Dr. Potter, where the curious may find sufficient entertainment. It seems to me to be one of those seasons which God has reserved in his own power; only this we know, God has written Mene Tekel upon all his enemies; he has numbered their days, and they shall be finished, but his own kingdom shall endure forever.”
Mathew Henry has been followed by thousands of people writing on this number 666.
A summary and bottom line seems to be that this number “666” is prophesied in so many ways via Messianic Jewish, Orthodox Jewish, Islam, and “Christian” teachings, it is impossible at this time to completely state “this is the right one”-”this is the way to believe”.
Is it necessary to know? No.
Why not? It is irrelevant.
Why?
If the reader ascribes to the Three-In-One God belief, the following scriptures would be appropriate: Pr 20:24 A man’s steps are directed by the LORD. How then can anyone understand his own way? Mt 6:34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Joh 20:31 But these are written that you may (some manuscripts -may continue to-) believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.
And we all know John 3:16, and let’s not forget John 14:6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
Knowing what the mark of the Beast means, would not change our way of life. Mt 5:16” In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven”.
It is assumed true “Christians” understand taking the number of the beast (666) results in eternal damnation since the taking of the number in essence rejects Jesus the Christ. Further discussion may be found here: http://bibleresources.org/mark-of-the-beast/

Harbinger
noun, verb
Definition: (n.) a sign or indication of future events; (v) to foreshadow or announce something coming in the future
Synonyms: (n.) forerunner, precursor, indicator, herald, augury, portent, presage, (v.) portend, foreshadow, indicate, bode
Antonyms: Tips: Harbinger is a difficult word, as its etymology has no bearing on its current meaning. Try to think of a way of associating harbinger with predicting the future or signs of the future. Harbinger is a more sophisticated way of referring to a sign that predicts or indicates the future or events to come.
Isa 9:10 The bricks are fallen, but we will build with hewn stone; the sycamores are cut down, but we will put cedars in their place.
See verses before and after. Isa. 9:10. These are words of defiance, pride and arrogance. This was Harbinger number one to Israel, who as a nation, had turned away from God.
The Harbinger by Rabbi Jonathan Cahn – published 2012.
Is it possible… That there exists an ancient mystery that holds the secret of America’s future? That this mystery lies behind everything from 9/11 to the collapse of the global economy? That ancient harbingers of judgment are now manifesting in America? That God is sending America a prophetic message of what is yet to come?
Before its destruction as a nation, ancient Israel received nine harbingers, prophetic omens of warning. The same nine harbingers are now manifesting in America—with immediate ramifications for end-time prophecy. Hidden in an ancient biblical prophecy from Isaiah, the mysteries revealed in The Harbinger are so precise that they foretold recent American events down to the exact days.
The revelations are so specific that even the most hardened skeptics will find it hard to dismiss or put down. It sounds like the plot of a Hollywood thriller – with one exception… IT’S REAL. The prophetic mysteries are revealed through an intriguing and engaging narrative the reader will find hard to put down.
The Harbinger opens with the appearance of a man burdened with a message he has received from a mysterious figure called The Prophet. The Prophet has given him nine seals, each containing a message about America’s future. As he tells of his encounters with The Prophet, from a skyscraper in New York City to a rural mountaintop, to Capitol Hill, to Ground Zero, the mystery behind each seal is revealed. As the story unfolds, each revelation becomes a piece in a greater puzzle – the ramifications of which will even alter the course of world history.
The Harbinger for America is essentially the same as for Israel:
Terrorism by the Assyrians. The descendents of the Assyrians are also, of course, from the middle east. They were Semitic and spoke a language called Akkadian – now known as Arabic, which is spoken by terrorist organizations Al Qaeda. Hamas, CAIR, ISIS, and others.
Muslims feel they have a “religious” duty to forcibly convert the entire world to Islam. However, a considerable number of individuals do not believe Islam is a Religion, but rather a political ideology. The number one outspoken individual on this issue is named Geert Wilders. a former Dutch Parliamentarian. The following is a link to his website: http://www.geertwilders.nl.
Other writings by Wilders:

Isa 9:10 was quoted on America’s 911 anniversary by John Edwards.
Isa. 9:10 was quoted (unknowingly) by Barrack Hussein Obama just after his election – He said “We will rebuild. We will recover. We will be stronger than before”.
These words – “We will rebuild” were spoken by the mayor of New York, the state’s senior Senator, the Governor, the state’s junior Senator.
Note: The consecration of America took place by George Washington at St. Paul’s cathedral a few feet from the World Trade Center, (not Washington, D.C.). It was not damaged during 911,- called “a miracle”, and protected by a sycamore tree.
The foundation of the Washington monument is now cracked severely due to an earthquake.
2008: Seven years later (seven being the number of completion/perfection in Elohim’s eyes), the financial crash involved God’s number in several ways: Seven years post 911, 7% decline. 777 re. stock market decline – this occurrence was also a Harbinger. Satan has been allowed to work because America turned away from the God of its fathers. Keep in mind the current POTUS was also elected seven years post 911.
Rabbi Cahn has also noted the following: In the Bible often handed out as an evangelical or first Bible, the “Read Through the Bible in One Year”, or “The One year Bible”, Isa 9:10 has been the reading on 9/1 since Tyndale Publishing first put out this version in 1985.
The next date to consider would be 2015. This assumes there is no repentance in America, no revival of any sort. 2 Ch 7:14.
Rabbi Cahn has recently released updates in regard to the date of Jesus birth as being far from Dec. 25th: http://superstore.wnd.com/sales/Jonathan-Cahns-Biblical-Teachings-Volume-2-3-DVD-Box-Set
BUT!!!!!!!!!! ONE LAST CHANCE!!!!!!!!
2Ch 7:14 if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. (Who is “my people”?) Is Romans 11 true. Are Gentiles grafted on to the Jewish Olive Tree? Are Gentiles sort of Jews due to their belief in Jesus?
Jan Markell in her “Understanding the Times” publication – September-October 2012, http://olivetreeviews.org delineates the accusations against Rabbi Jonathan Cahn, and rejects them totally. Jan is a Messianic Jew and also has radio programs throughout America.
Rabbi Cahn also predicts the possibility of extreme financial chaos America in 2015 based on the “Shemitah” law of Adonai/Elohim. http://www.wnd.com/2014/12/shemitah-year-of-2015-may-bring-financial-upheaval/
Has America Really Been Destroyed?
Due to lack of immigration enforcement procedures (laws already written – on the books, so to speak), approximately 23% Americans are unemployed:

http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Journalism/2014/11/30/Breitbart-News-Sunday-Defunding-Executive-Amnesty-America-in-Decline
The concept of destruction is difficult to pinpoint due to the scale of destruction necessary to say “Yes, America has really been destroyed”. There is always an ongoing war between the anti-God and pro-God populace:
http://www.frontpagemag.com/2014/david-horowitz/the-lefts-war-against-justice-and-peace/
The very possibility of America having an anti-American POTUS is simply initially an unbelievable concept for an American to understand. Yet the current POTUS was elected after America turned away from the God of its fathers. This POTUS was actually named “Liar of the year” by a far left, liberal, progressive, anti-God publication called “Politico” proclaiming the words of POTUS regarding his program of “health care” called Obamacare saying “If you like your health plan, you can keep it”.
In various speeches, he lied quite constantly in this regard.
Jonathan Gruber was an often referenced contributor to the Obamacare revamping of healthcare. He openly admits he knew many individuals would not be able to keep their health plans:
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2014/12/09/gruber-knew-people-were-going-to-lose-their-health-plans/
http://personalliberty.com/gruber-government-long-friendly-history-predating-obama-affordable-care-act/
A supposedly nonpartisan article describes his involvement in the Obamacare plans including his quotes of the American voter being “too stupid to object”. http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/obamacare-architect-jonathan-gruber-fire/story?id=26919286. It is certainly true the DFL hierarchy pushed hard for Obamacare to be passed with the leader of the minority in the House saying, “you must pass the bill first so that later you have time to read it”. This type of statement from anyone other than she who said it, would immediately be found “insane” by any relatively normal human being.
The ongoing lies of the current POTUS and administration continue:

Denial of Any Threat to America Is Rampant
The following articles/sites are only a very few of thousands having been written in an attempt to wake America up, but which has not succeeded to any extent. However, it must be reiterated – having a most probable Sunni Muslim POTUS, would certainly add to the problem of denial in this now number two nation.

What’s A Dhimmi?
A definition of Dhimmi is as follows: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dhimmi
In order to distract Gruberized (i.e. stupid) American Voters, the DFL, (now known as Dhimmi’s For Lucifer), based on their platform vote which was strongly anti-God, have released a DFL controlled report concerning the just post 911 CIA attempts to gain information from captured Muslims:
http://pamelageller.com/2014/12/democrat-jihad-against-america.html/
http://freedomoutpost.com/2012/09/democrats-are-officially-godless/
http://www.westernjournalism.com/the-godless-democrats/
http://www.wnd.com/2012/09/the-godless-democrats/
http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2012/09/04/dems-boot-god-from-platform/
This report was attacked as misleading in that it revealed techniques to obtain enemy information by the CIA, but said nothing about killing the enemy via drones. Multiple other errors in the report have been called “bogus and dangerous”. “Enhanced interrogation techniques, (i.e. water boarding), per CIA and those who were “there”, DID reveal information of a number of future attacks, knowledge of which prevented the death of many other Americans.
This report was also released to prevent the American populace from dealing with nine other potential scandals such as Benghazi-gate, IRS targeting of conservatives, but especially a more recent executive POTUS order granting amnesty to several million illegal immigrants. This latter is also a political move, in that it is felt by the DFL party and POTUS, that the Hispanic “pardoned” individuals, will remember at voting time, who pardoned them. The release of this document is considered totally political and part of the POTUS plan to totally destroy America. WHAT? Isn’t that a little strong? This writer does not think so.

A recent tweet showed Jane Fonda and John Kerry from the past with the understanding that in America, traitors are not punished, rather they just join the Democratic party:
https://twitter.com/peddoc63/status/556464053791784961
According to Allen West, there are a open Communists in the Democratic party: “There are 80 members of Dem. Party who are members of Communist Party”. http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0412/75025.html … @cspanwj #p2
May the reader please understand the following: The majority of DFL voters for the most part, have no idea their party has been undermined by the Communist, Socialist, Marxist, and Islamic ideologies. Please review “labels” in Part I. The DFL voters of today would certainly match the first several areas of “labels”, such as hereditary, ethical, cultural and social.
May the reader please understand the following: The majority of the Republication voters, for the most part, have no idea their party is as “liberal” or leftist as it is. For the most party the only “true” conservatism of the Republican party seems to be that of the “Tea Party” portion. Most Republicans who may consider themselves to be “pro-God” conservatives have no idea their leaders such as John Boehner or Mitch McConnell do not share their beliefs as the following articles state:
