Volume 3 A Book on Bible Prophecy

by Ernest Angley

Through Daniel, God gave amazing prophecies. He told of world

kingdoms to come, the last to be headed by the Antichrist in the
period of Great Tribulation. Much of Daniel's prophecy has
already been fulfilled, and all of it will be fulfilled.
March 1990
In the second booklet in this series on Bible prophecy, I discussed
Daniel's four pictures of prophecy of world kingdoms. The
prophecies are so important to us today, that I have set aside a
Topics: Antichrist, Prophecy
third booklet to review and elaborate further on them. The
Gentile age is spelled out, including the world powers that will
operate. Eight kingdoms in all are mentioned in Bible prophecy. Six have fallen and two more are
yet to come.

The first picture is found in the second chapter of Daniel, an image: Head of gold; breast and arms
of silver; belly and thighs of brass; legs of iron; feet, part iron and part clay. This image depicts all
the nations that will hold world power from the time of Daniel and includes the very end when
Christ will set up His Kingdom.

The head of gold in this first world picture represents the third world kingdom of Babylon, a
continuation of the world-power system set up by Lucifer to dethrone and destroy all faith in God,
to wipe all holy living from the face of the Earth. The image's chest and arms of silver represent the
fourth kingdom Medo-Persia—two nations, one stronger than the other, ruling together. The belly
and thighs represent Greece under Alexander the Great, kingdom five. Then came the sixth
kingdom, the Roman Empire's legs of iron corresponding to the divided Eastern and Western
kingdoms, with the feet and toes representing the revived Roman Empire yet to come in the
seventh kingdom. The Roman kingdom will be revived according to the Word of God, the ten toes

representing ten nations from the territory Rome once occupied. Nations from the EU will help
bring about world dominion. Five individual toes on each foot indicate separation, so evidently
there will be a division between the ten nations, just as there was an Eastern and Western division
in the original Roman empire. What this kingdom will eventually be called we don't know; we just
know it as the revived Roman Empire, that the nations represented by the ten toes are coming to
power in our day just as God said they would in His Holy Word. The EU is getting ready to take its
brief place in infamy.

The eighth kingdom is that of the Antichrist. Evidence of him is everywhere on the Earth today as
he moves to bring about his tyranny in the Tribulation Period. The Antichrist's kingdom will be
destroyed after seven years by the stone hewed out of the mountain, Jesus Christ, the last aspect of
Nebuchadnezzar's dream.

The second picture of prophecy found in the fourth chapter of Daniel is the great tree of power.
Daniel interprets this as representing Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon who after growing very
powerful in the world was to be cut down with only a stump left until, after seven years, he
acknowledges God as supreme.

Belshazzar's feast and the handwriting on the wall comprise the third picture, the handwriting of
Babylon's downfall and the rise of the Medo-Persians.

Contained in the seventh chapter of Daniel is the fourth picture, the four beasts, again representing
four world empires. Follow these four pictures, and you will find four related prophecies.

We read in the seventh chapter of Daniel: In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon
Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed: then he wrote the dream,
and told the sum of the matters. Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night,
and behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea (Daniel 7:1,2). In
prophecy, the sea represents nations. The four winds of heaven represent the Spirit of God moving
not upon water, but upon a sea of humanity, a sea of nations. And four great beasts [four
kingdoms] came up from the sea, diverse one from another (verse 3). Here we have the
fourth picture painted by the Spirit of God, revealing to Daniel world kingdoms. God carefully
presented prophecies of world kingdoms four different times in this short book to show us how
essential it is to understand about these kingdoms, to identify them and to recognize the two that
are forming today.

The first [beast, the kingdom of Babylon] was like a lion, and had eagle's wings: I beheld
till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made
stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it (Daniel 7:4). The two

wings of the lion of Babylon represent the speed with which she carried out her conquest. When
the wings were plucked out, the power of Babylon was taken away, lifted up from the Earth and
finally destroyed.

And behold another beast [Medo-Persia], a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself
on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they
said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh (Daniel 7:5). The bear with three ribs in its
mouth represents the kingdom of the Medes and Persians. The bear raising higher on one side
represents the Persian kingdom, greater in power than the Medes. The three ribs in the teeth of
the bear signified that he had destroyed three kingdoms before him.

Daniel 7:6, tells of the third beast in the form of a leopard, symbolizing the Grecian army under
Alexander the Great: And after this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard [Greece],
which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and
dominion was given to it. Again the four wings on the back stand for swiftness, speed. Quickly
Alexander conquered, but he didn't rule very long. Still a young man, Alexander lost his life, and
then after some shuffling and intrigue, four of his generals took over, the four heads. The generals
governed until Greece was defeated by the Romans.

After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast [Roman Empire],
dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth (Daniel 7:7).
Now we are back to the iron representing the Roman Empire. The dominion of the Roman
Empire, interrupted for many, many years, will be revived in the last days. It devoured and
brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all
the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns. Here again are the ten nations coming
forth, the ten horns corresponding to the ten toes of the image in Daniel 2, and sometimes
represented by ten crowns. It all refers to a confederation of ten kingdoms of our day, ten nations
that will take world control. The ten horns of this beast, the ten kingdoms, are a world dominating
form of the evil influence and power, the spirit of which has existed since the tower of Babel. This
evil influence will rage uncontrollably during the Tribulation Period as the Antichrist rules
worldwide for seven years. Such great power will be exerted that the time will come when no one
can buy or sell without the mark of the beast, the Antichrist. Taking that mark will be the same as
selling your soul to the devil, for it means worshiping the Antichrist. It's incredible to think that
this coming world takeover could really happen in our day, but it will.

The first Roman Empire treated the Christians horribly, put them into arenas with wild beasts,

crucified them. Thousands were killed. On a visit to Rome, I sat in the Colosseum, pondering the
horror of Christian martyrs being slaughtered by wild animals. I went to the catacombs, a fearful
place where easily one could become lost and never found again. An intricate network of passages
remains in which the early Christians were forced to hide away. What a great price has been paid
for our liberty in the Gospel!

The Roman territory was like an empire ruled by the devil himself. This is the kingdom that is
going to be revived. As it grows stronger, it will be woe, woe to the inhabitants of the Earth.

These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth.
But the saints of the most High shall take the kingdom and possess the kingdom for
ever, even for ever and ever (Daniel 7:17,18).

The events of today are laying the groundwork for the ten nations that will ultimately make up the
seventh world system. According to the 1957 Treaty of Rome, member countries set forth a time
table in which to establish a common market. This time table was met in 1969. We don't know at
this writing which nations will make up the final membership; there will be some jockeying back
and forth until the number settles at ten. God's prophecies say ten horns, ten crowns, ten
kingdoms.

Just as surely as the ancient world systems came to power, the Antichrist will come to power. Just
as Babylon fell—the Medes, the Persians, Greeks and the Romans—the Antichrist's kingdom will
fall, also. Great distress is ahead for the nations, with chaos exploding everywhere. Jesus tells us in
Luke 21:25 that in the last days there shall be upon the earth distress of nations, with
perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring. The sea, remember, is the nations. They can't get
along, can't agree. Even within our own nation, disagreements are rampant; our nation is divided.
The only hope I see for mankind is being ready to get out of here, to be taken up with Jesus at His
second coming.

As the EU nations come together, the world will soon see the little horn of prophecy, the
Antichrist. He is no doubt on planet Earth today. I feel he was born in the late sixties, for the Earth
has never been the same since that time. Something evil happened then; it was a takeover by
Lucifer. The spirit of the devil has destroyed many of our youth through suicide, drugs, and
alcohol. Homes have been broken up. The unbelief in God, the unrest on the Earth is terrible to
behold. Having a form of godliness but denying the power thereof is prevalent.

Not only is the EU coming together now, but also the world church, founded on apostasy and made
up of many denominations. Influential religious leaders have left God out of their programs: but
while they are forming the world church, God's people are coming together in the spirit of unity,
faith and love; redemption draweth nigh for the Children of God. Pure and clean living is required,
believing in the blood of Jesus, the miracles of Jesus and the power of the Holy Ghost, the power to
cast out devils, the power of God to heal the sick, and the greatness of God today. Many church

leaders have robbed Jesus of His glory, stripped Him of His power as they present a helpless
Christ, one whose works they strive to take over themselves. Religion has become just a form
rather than the reality of trusting in God's saving grace through the blood of Jesus. It's time for us
to be alert, to wake up, to know the hour in which we live.

The Gentile dispensation will end with the second coming of Jesus when the Bride of Christ is
taken from the Earth. Just as the Bible calls the Holy Land the glorious land, the devout Gentile
body of Christ is called the glorious church. In a moment, in a twinkling of an eye she will be
changed, caught away to be with the Lord forever. The Holy Spirit is here now to get a Gentile
Bride ready for Jesus.

In midair, Jesus is coming after His Children, the glorious church without spot or wrinkle. I
Thessalonians 4:14-17 tells us, For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so
them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. For this we say unto you by
the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord
shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from
heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and
the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught
up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever
be with the Lord. A voice will go forth so loud that the dead in Christ will come out of their
graves, and we that are alive will be instantly changed.

Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a
moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound,
and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed (I Corinthians
15:51,52). The Rapture will close the Gentile age and usher in seven years of Great Tribulation,
culminating in the battle of Armageddon.

The Bible tells us that in the latter days the North countries will come by storm to cover Israel like a
cloud, to take a spoil, and to take a prey. But God's fury will rise against them. In Ezekiel 39:2 we
read that God says: And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee. Only
one sixth of the invading army will be left alive. The devastation will be so great that it shall come
to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog [the leader of the North counties] a place there
of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers on the east of the sea: and it shall stop
the noses of the passengers: and there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude: and
they shall call it The valley of Hamon-gog. And seven months shall the house of Israel
be burying of them, that they may cleanse the land (Ezekiel 39:11,12).

The spirit of the devil is working through Russia's leaders, the spirit of Antichrist. Russia does not

want peace. Russia wants to rule the world, to be the world power; but her destiny is written in the
Word of God. She is on her way to the graves of Israel.

Other nations are aligning with Russia. This is just a part of their separating from us—it's according
to the Word of God. Many want us to reach out to Russia, to sign arms agreements; but if we do,
we will be taking the spirit of the Antichrist for an ally. There will be no peace with Russia. The
more agreeable she seems, the more deadly she becomes; for nations, believing her cries of peace,
will be destroyed with her in Israel.

In studying prophecy you will notice that Israel, according to the Bible, is the geographic center of
the world. When God talks of the kings of the North, of the South, of the East, He is using Israel as
the focal point. Israel is God's land.

Why would anyone ever believe that peace is coming through Russia? As long as you let the devil
fool you, deceive you by listening to those who are going to "bring peace to the Earth," you will not
be ready for the coming of the Lord. There will be no lasting peace until Jesus the Prince of Peace
comes to set up His Kingdom. Until that time, the peace that men embrace will be false. Don't
yield to the peace of the world. It has no substance.

It's amazing how quickly the nations are changing, turning from the United States. Most of those
nations wouldn't be in existence today if it weren't for the United States. We have given and given,
sacrificed foreign aid, billions of dollars to help other countries; and they spit in our face. They got
what they wanted, and they are finished with us. Had it not been for the United States, Hitler
would have swallowed Europe and who knows what else. He was going fast; he would have swept
them all in. Some people thought he was the Antichrist; no, but he was a good representative, a
good type and shadow.

World War II brought other types and shadows of the Tribulation Period, the rationing books, for
example. One couldn't buy food, gasoline or other commodities without a ration stamp—a type and
shadow of the mark of the beast.

Again I say that one day people will not be able to buy or sell without the mark of the beast, the
mark of the number of his name, 666. You will become like a demon from hell if you take that
mark. What will you do? Refuse the mark and starve to death? Unless you have Jesus in your
heart, you still wouldn't go to heaven.

It's going to be hard to find God in the Tribulation Period. There is just one flight out, the Rapture.
If you miss it, you will be in the Great Tribulation, to die, be killed or somehow live through while
enduring incredible suffering. Seven years…what torture, what torment, what judgment of God will
be rained downed on the beast and those who worship him! The Earth has never seen the wrath of
God the way it will be poured out then. The Book of Revelation is the most fearful book of the
whole Bible.

I considered the horns and, behold, there came up among them another little horn
before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and behold,
in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things (Daniel
7:8). The little horn is the Antichrist. Keep in mind that three of the ten horns—or three of the
nations—are plucked up by their roots. The Antichrist will overthrow them.

Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from all the
others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass; which
devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet; And of the ten
horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three
fell. [Again Daniel tells of the three fallen nations out of the confederation of ten.] Even of that
horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more
stout than his fellows. I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and
prevailed against them; Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was
given…And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and
another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall
subdue three kings. And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall
wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws (Daniel
7:19-22,24,25). Now Daniel is speaking of the Antichrist who will seek to change times, laws, to
destroy the calendar and everything that refers to God and Christ. It will be a great takeover by
Lucifer.

As Daniel saw a little horn rising and uprooting three horns—the Antichrist taking over three
nations out of the ten—the other seven nations, filled with fear, were weakened until they gave
their power to him, to the beast, the Antichrist. The visions of the Tribulation Period that Daniel
saw were so terrible that at one time he said this about them, And I Daniel fainted, and was
sick certain days; afterward I rose up, and did the king's business; and I was
astonished at the vision, but none understood it (Daniel 8:27). If just seeing those visions
made Daniel ill for days, think how actually living through them will be!

John the Revelator, in describing the Antichrist, tells us an amazing fact: And I saw one of his
heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the
world wondered after the beast (Revelation 13:3). People will be saying, "Who is like the
beast? He was dead and yet he lives!" How will people look upon a world leader whom they think
has been killed and then raised from the dead to continue his leadership? He will lie in state—then
suddenly stand up before the people. Think how many multitudes will worship him, declare him to
be divine, great. "Look, look! He was dead, and he has resurrected himself! Wounded to death,
and yet he lives!"

The world is ready even now for anything the devil has to offer. Only the Word of God and belief in
it are protection against the devil. The Word is your protection, your safety.

II Timothy 3:1-7, describes this hour: This know also, that in the last days perilous times
shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves…Having a form of godliness,
but denying the power thereof…Ever learning, and never able to come to the
knowledge of the truth. Unfortunately, education is no protection from the power of the devil.
He is wiser than educators, and he fills minds with selfishness, hypocrisy and greed. There is
deliverance for those who want it, but many minds do not want to be delivered; they have been
taken over by the devil.

After the Rapture, the Antichrist moves in. The little horn, the Antichrist, will make a covenant
with the Jews for one week, or for seven years. Daniel 7:8 shows us how this little horn will push
up, subduing the three kingdoms out of the ten and how the other seven will bow and give their
power to him to keep from being destroyed. Nothing stops the Antichrist at this time. 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 (Daniel 8:25). I say again,
the peace the nations are talking about today is not the real peace of God, but a false peace, a peace
that cannot last.

The Antichrist will make a covenant with the Jewish people, and for the first three-and-a-half years
they will think he really is the Messiah, the Redeemer, the Promised One. They will be a happy,
happy people. But then, in the middle of the week of seven years, the covenant will be broken as
the Antichrist sets himself up in the temple of God as God. The eyes of the Jews will be opened at
last, and the people will flee into the wilderness where God will provide a place of protection to
hide them.

Some biblical scholars say God will hide the Jews in Jordanian Petra, but I don't believe it. I have
been to Petra, the city hewn out of rock. When God gets ready to hide someone He doesn't have to
put them into canyons. God doesn't use man's methods or ideas: He uses miraculous means that
defy the logic of man. God, remember, protected Israel with a pillar of fire by night and a cloud by
day. In whatever way God decides to protect the Jews, it will be through His miracle hand. The
Jews could be ten feet away from the Antichrist and he would not be able to touch them.

And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred
forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads. And
they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the
elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four
thousand, which were redeemed from the earth (Revelation 14:1,3). The 144,000 Jews who
will be sealed with the seal of the Living God are not meant to be preachers or soul winners. One
modern writer claims they will bring multitudes into the Kingdom. The Bible does not say that.
The Bible plainly tells us what is going to happen to the 144,000 Jews. These are they which
follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men,
being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb (Revelation 14:4). God has a special plan. If

you want to learn what God is revealing about prophecy, you must study the Bible carefully. In this
hour God is giving knowledge, a great, beautiful revelation to His people so they can understand all
that He told Daniel and realize what is happening today.

The spirit of Babylon will be destroyed. How God has hated that spirit! It began when the devil
convinced man to join in with him, and is thriving yet today. The godlessness of the Antichrist has
been and will be in all the world kingdoms; part of this system includes cults and the occult.
Universities give more and more credibility to the psychic, Eastern mysticism, astrology, and
witchcraft. The occult grows stronger each day as the world prepares to accept the kingdom of the
Antichrist. Much of the occult appears innocent. Astrology charts in the daily papers seem
harmless to many who follow them; but astrology is part of Lucifer's plan, under his direction. It
was the devil's crowd who called astrologers the wise men of the kingdom. If no biblical reasons
existed other than those found in the book of Daniel to shun astrology it would be enough.
Astrology was practiced during the time of the building of the tower of Babel; all these thousands of
years it has been with us. Today in ever greater ways, it is popular because we are coming to the
end of the age. Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators,
stand up, and save thee from these things that shall come upon thee. Behold, they
shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from
the power of the flame (Isaiah 47:13,14).

Lukewarm Christians may accept astrology, even rely on it; but they are reaching for the devil, and
he gladly draws them to his bosom. Your destiny is not written in the stars, but in Calvary through
the blood of Jesus. Stars, planets do not influence you at birth. Your born-again experience is what
counts. Jesus said, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot
see the kingdom of God (John 3:3). How you give your life to God determines your future.
While all come into this world with the opportunity to yield to God, the devil deceives everyone he
can. He has deceived many about astrology. If you have experimented with astrology for fun, you
have toyed with the devil's "play-prettys."

It's almost midnight now; the majority of Christians are asleep. They don't know the hour in which
they live; they have no idea what this end-time hour is all about. Many are stirred for a moment,
but they find reality too unsettling, and they go back to their old paths, scoffing at the truth. The
lukewarmness of churches is a part of that spirit.

God doesn't force the light upon people; He just makes it available. You can douse the light of God
or you can use it. If you use the light of God, your path will be plain and the Holy Ghost can
prepare you for the coming of Jesus. If you don't use the light of God, you will believe the devil
when he whispers that sin is innocent, harmless—even noble. In the past it seems that those who
didn't serve God at least clung to good morals. No longer. Even Christians are affected by the
laxity of the hour.

Dare to be a Daniel; stand up and be counted. If your children are doing wrong, stand against it; if
you don't, you will lose them. I'm glad my parents stood for God. They gave us the truth, told us
what was sin and what was righteous, what would happen if we went to the left, and what would
happen if we went to the right. They didn't spare us. They warned us about unholy living, about
sin. Night and day we were taught righteousness and holiness. This is the hour of opening your
eyes to what is happening on the Earth as the age fast draws to a close.

After being hidden away during the seven years Tribulation, the Children of God are coming back
for the Perfect Age; the Bible says so. Can you read the handwriting on the wall? You must have
God's intelligence from His Holy Word. What does the handwriting say to you today? Lift up your
eyes and ask for God's intelligence to know what God is saying; look to God for understanding. Let
God help you come to Him. You don't know when the hand will write that final message to you, the
message that will seal your doom. Don't deceive yourself; the hand is writing.

If the hand were to write for you today, would it mean eternal death? Read the handwriting that
tells of Jesus' soon coming. Know the hour in which you live, know that the Antichrist is getting
ready to make his appearance. The handwriting on the wall today says: Therefore be ye also
ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh (Matthew 24:44).

Through the handwriting on the wall of our hearts, the voice of the Lord comes to us: So likewise
ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it [the Rapture and the Tribulation Period]
is near, even at the doors (Matthew 24:33). We read more of the signs of the times, Now
learn a parable of the fig tree [the fig tree represents the Jewish nation]; When his branch is
yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh (Matthew 24:32). The
fig tree, the Jewish nation, is in bloom. Again we read the handwriting on the wall for our day:
This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled (Matthew 24:34). What
generation was Jesus referring to here? The generation that would be on the face of the Earth
when the Jews became a nation once again, the generation that was here in 1948.

I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit. Daniel has
traveled all the way through civilization in this vision, to our day and beyond, to the end of the age.
And the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his
head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning
fire (Daniel 7:9). The Ancient of Days—the Lord—will sit in judgment at the defeat of the
Antichrist's kingdom.

We who have been born new look at the handwriting on the wall without sorrow, without regrets
but with great jubilation, realizing that we are the Rapture generation. We know that Jesus will
come in our day. Our very spirits cry with John the Revelator: Even so, come, Lord Jesus

(Revelation 22:20). Through the Holy Spirit living and dwelling on the inside of us, we make that
cry because as we look down, we see garments spotless, washed in the blood of Jesus. We're pure,
clean, holy, walking in the fear and love of Almighty God. We're ready to take our flight at any
time. We know we will be changed in a moment, in a twinkling of an eye, caught away to be with
the Lord forever.

If that thought sends fear into you, then move into the arms of God until the handwriting on the
wall becomes clear to you, until all fear is gone, until you know that the handwriting isn't against
you but for you, that no judgment awaits you in that message. Why? Because you met Calvary one
day; your judgment took place when you accepted Jesus into your heart, and you were pardoned.
The Lord said you're free for all time and eternity as long as you do not sin again. You are not
going to stand before the judgment seat of Christ for your sins, for they have been washed away in
the blood of Jesus. You will see the judgment of rewards, but not judgment for your sins.

I love the handwriting on the wall for this hour; I love what it is saying to the born-again Christians
today. I love it because I know who is writing, I know the words are the truth of God that I can
embrace. As I look at all that is taking place in the world today, as I see Jews moving back to the
Holy Land, I'm trying to convince everyone possible to move toward Rapture ground. The Spirit of
God is drawing the Jews to Israel, but many will never leave America until they think their Messiah
has come. Then there won't be enough planes flying into Israel to take all that want to go; however,
it will be the Antichrist whom they see first.

Read the handwriting. Isn't it glorious! But when you turn and read the message for those who
have failed and disobeyed God, those who are walking in the night, the handwriting on the wall
spells death. All we can do is cry out the truth; how tragic that so many do not want to hear it!

Thus saith the Lord: My people in this hour must have my compassion. My people in this hour
must have my love. My people in this hour must have my faith. My people must love
righteousness and holiness. My people must love all the lost.

When you came to me, saith the Lord, and you accepted the sacrifice of my Son, you accepted His
blood, you accepted the responsibility to love all of the lost. You must love the lost. You must
compel them to come to me through your great love that I have given to you. You must stand for
all that I have given to you, all of my truths. You must put on all of my armor; you must not back
down. You must not be critical. You must stretch forth hands of love and say, "Come to Jesus!
Come to Jesus!" You must cry, "He is ready to deliver you! He is ready to set you free! He is
ready to hold you up with a mighty hand! Come!" And cry to the weak, "Come and my Lord will
make you strong! Come! My Lord will set you free. There's liberty and freedom! "

And my Son came and brought liberty and freedom to all peoples. No one was left out. And in
this final hour, men, women, boys and girls are receiving their final calls, saith the Lord. And
those calls must be given with all of my love, with all of my compassion, with all of my mercy.
