CUTTING EDGE COMMENTS

The single most shocking revelation of this Forum is that our leaders -- both civilian and military -- consider the New World Order a present reality, not a coming event!  We have always referred to this Kingdom of Antichrist as being in the future, to be officially established once he arises.  However, several speakers at this conference refer to the New World Order in present tense terms. 

When was the New World Order officially established, then?  We certainly saw no official ceremony that declared it to be established!  We might think of August 16, 1991, when President Bush declared that Iraq's invasion of Kuwait could not be allowed to stand, because it threatened the New World Order.  Certainly, I noticed that Bush used a present tense verb, inferring that this system was already in place.  However, Christian leaders have always considered the New World Order to be a future event.  Perhaps we need to rethink that position.

I could not help but notice that Lieutenant General of the Marine Corps, Rhodes, used New Age terminology as he spoke of a "paradigm shift" in military strategic thinking.  All throughout this Forum, I sensed a huge New Age influence upon the thinking and the terminology of our military leaders.  Now that Satan has gotten our military and civilian leaders thinking instinctively our way, his kingdom cannot be far behind.

Are you spiritually ready? Is your family? Are you adequately protecting your loved ones? This is the reason for this ministry, to enable you to first understand the peril facing you, and then help you develop strategies to warn and protect your loved ones. Once you have been thoroughly trained, you can also use your knowledge as a means to open the door of discussion with an unsaved person. I have been able to use it many times, and have seen people come to Jesus Christ as a result. These perilous times are also a time when we can reach many souls for Jesus Christ, making an eternal difference.
