The Fall of the Republic ... www.PrisonPlanet.tv
Daniel 8:25 (King James Version)
25 And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.
The last 3 ½ years of the Great Tribulation period will be a time of intense persecution for the nation of Israel. It is at the midpoint of the Great Tribulation period that the antichrist will break his covenant with Israel (Dan. 9:27; Mt. 24:15). The upshots of what will follow will be both political and religious. For instance, the antichrist will make a stop of the Jewish sacrifices in the rebuilt temple (Dan. 9:27). At this point, the period of time called the “great tribulation” will begin (Mt. 24:15, 16, 21).
Daniel 12:11 adds the following: “from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that makes desolation is set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.” In others words, from the time of the abomination of desolation until the beginning of the millennial reign of Christ will be 1,290 days. The extra 30 days after the time of Christ’s second coming is to judge the sheep and goats to determine who will enter into the millennial kingdom and who will be cast away into eternal punishment (cf. Mt. 25).
Therefore, the antichrist will stop both worship of GOD and the Jewish sacrificial system in order to declare that he is to be worshipped (2 Thess. 2:4).
Religion of the Last Days
The Bible indicates that the antichrist (or beast) will expand upon his rule from a revived Roman Empire (European Union) with his seat of power in the Vatican, to the entire world during the last half of the Tribulation period (Rev. 13:12-17).
Revelation 17-18 indicates that the antichrist’s one world government will focus upon economic, political, and religious concerns. The world today believes that the only hope for mankind will be a one-world economy, government, and religion. This would certainly make sense in an unstable world.
However, such attempts are a rejection of GOD’s authority and the attempt of mankind to build a 'heaven' on earth. A good example of that is in the ‘Tower of Babel’ event in the Old Testament. The beginning of Babylon.
The move toward a global religion is stronger than ever today. For instance, the New Age movement has infiltrated every area of Western thought in the business world, health profession, education, and even the church at times. Organizational religious unity and theological heresy are rampant in the current day. Islam is continuing to expand across the Globe with its history of pagan worship towards a moon god allah and the ‘falling star’ Lucifer
( ref: Isaiah chapter 14, verse 12 ).
Clearly, the stage is being set for the 'rise' of the antichrist from a revived Roman Empire. Only a few people of GOD, would debate that we are not living in the end times.
A Tale of Two Cities
“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of darkness,” writes Charles Dickens in his classic A Tale of Two Cities. The Bible presents another tale of two cities from Genesis to Revelation identified as Jerusalem and Babylon. Jerusalem is the city of God and Babylon is the city of satan. Both stand at odds to one another.
The Bible depicts Babylon as the beginning and continual nurturing of the kingdom of man (Gen. 11:1-9). The satanic reign of antichrist incorporates all economical, political, religious, and social aspects that are identified with Babylon. Daniel describes Babylon as the beginning of the Gentile kingdoms that will dominate earth’s history during the “times of the Gentiles” (Dan. 2, 7; Jer. 30:7; Luke. 21:24). This period will not end until Christ returns to the earth in judgment.
Babylon will be revived in the end times to play a significant role in the Great Tribulation (Rev. 14:8; 16:19; 17-18).
Revelation 17-18 depicts Babylon as the fountainhead of all godless economy, government, and religion. Nearly all ungodliness during the Tribulation period is connected to Babylon.
The apostle John writes / speaks of “Mystery, Babylon the Great, the Mother of Harlots and Abominations of the Earth” (Rev. 17:5). Babylon, or antichrist’s harlot, is the “mother” of all false religion in the end times from Genesis 11 to Revelation 17. All the religions of the world, including an apostate Christianity, will unite with ecclesiastical Babylon during the Tribulation period (Rev. 17).
Nevertheless, GOD at the end of the Great Tribulation will judge these false religions.
The Satanic Trinity
The Satanic trinity will be a counterfeit of the true and living GOD. Satan (representing God the Father), Antichrist (representing God the Son), and the False Prophet (representing God the Holy Spirit) will comprise this false trinity.
The antichrist and the false prophet will work together to encompass a one world government and religion.
The false prophet (or “another beast”) will be the spokesperson for the antichrist (Rev. 16:13; 19:20; 20:10). It is written of the false prophet: “he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image” (Rev. 19:20). He deceives the world through “signs and wonders” to worship the first beast (antichrist).
It is near the end of the Great Tribulation that the antichrist grows weary of the counterfeit religion and makes “her desolate, and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire” (Rev. 17:16). Both the destiny of the antichrist and the false prophet are to be thrown into the Lake of Fire upon the Second Coming of Jesus Christ (Rev. 19:20). satan joins them prior to White Throne Judgment in Rev. 20:10.
Conclusion
Great discernment needs to be exercised today in light of these future prophecies.
The responsibility of each and every Christian is to share the Gospel with the lost and to be looking for the glorious appearing of Jesus Christ. Prior to the Great Tribulation, the Rapture event will occur. I firmly believe the Holy Bible teaches in several passages that Jesus Christ will save His bride (true believers) from the "wrath to come", and then finally the Battle of Armageddon (the Great Supper of GOD) will end the reign of mankind. His Kingdom (Jesus Christ) will know no end. Forevermore. AMEN.
Are You Ready ? Don’t be Left Behind. GOD’s Wrath will pour down upon the earth with great famines, earthquakes, war, disease, and pestilence to name a few!
Anyone refusing the mark of the beast (antichrist) will be put to death. Anyone taking the mark will be damned to the Lake of Fire. These martyrs for Jesus Christ will enter the Kingdom of GOD and be honored. Search the scriptures in the Bible and secure your place in "His Kingdom" to Come!
Don't take my words (a man) for truth, but study the scriptures with the King James translation. The inspired WORD of GOD. The inerrant WORD of GOD will never fail.

REPENT !!! ... Confess Your Sins ... Trust in Jesus Christ !!!
The Holy Bible is very clear on the subject along with no other gods before me, no graven image, no taking the Lord thy God's name is vain, remember the Sabbath to keep it Holy, honor your father & mother, do not kill, no stealing, no bearing false witness, or coveting.
The point of the whole matter is:
That all of us have sinned, and fallen short. No one has kept the Law (Ten Commandments), that is why we need the Savior in Jesus Christ!
He paid the price in His suffering death at calvary. The Lamb of GOD was given in order to provide a way to eternal life. There is no other way to heaven, but thru repentance, confession, and then living your life for Him. Place your trust in Jesus Christ and His teachings in the Holy Bible ( King James translation ).
He was prophesied to come, (hundreds of years prior) by the prophet Isaiah in chapter 53 of the old testament (Hebrew Bible).

God Bless! ... Merry Christmas!!!
Our GOD Reigns forever more! Awaiting His glorious return for His believers.
In His Love,

The American Red Cross has pledged an initial $200,000 to assist communities impacted by today’s earthquake in Haiti, and is prepared to take further action as local responders assess the situation.
“Initial reports indicate widespread damage in Port au Prince, with continuing aftershocks,” says Tracy Reines, director of international disaster response for the American Red Cross. “As with most earthquakes, we expect to see immediate needs for food, water, temporary shelter, medical services and emotional support.”
The American Red Cross has made available all of the relief supplies from its warehouse in Panama which would provide for basic needs for approximately 5,000 families. In addition, it is deploying a disaster management specialist to Haiti, and has additional disaster specialists on standby if needed.
The American Red Cross has an extensive partnership with the Haitian Red Cross, which is expected to lead the Red Cross response to the earthquake.
The American Red Cross has staff on the ground in Haiti who provide ongoing HIV/AIDS prevention and disaster preparedness programs. At this time, all the three American Red Cross staff in Haiti have all been reported safe.
The Haitian Red Cross was founded in 1932 and is one of the primary organizations in the country responding to disasters. Although earthquakes are less common, Haiti is frequently impacted by hurricanes including those in 2008, and the Haiti Red Cross has developed experience in disaster response due those disasters.
For more information and to schedule interviews, please contact Mat Morgan: morganmat@usa.redcross.org or 202-262-9148.
