JESUS
IS
COMING!

by Terry Watkins

   One of the greatest events, in the history of the world, is about
to take place! It is referred to by Christians as the 'rapture'. It's a time
when Jesus Christ will 'rapture' or remove all the truly saved people,
according to I Thessalonians Chapter 4, I Corinthians 15 and other
verses. It will usher in the most horrifying period ever known to man!
A seven-year period, the Bible calls the 'Great Tribulation' -- the
Time of the Anti-Christ! It was prophesied nearly 2000 years ago in
the Bible. AND IT IS BEING FULFILLED TO THE SMALLEST
DETAIL--BEFORE YOUR VERY EYES! If you think the Rapture
is just a pie-in-the-sky, Bible-thumpers, fantasy--keep reading
friend--you need to know what is taking place!

As The Days of Noah

   In Matthew 24:37, Jesus Christ provides a picture of the end-
times: "But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the
Son of man be." And what was "as the days of [Noah]" like? Genesis
6:11 says, "The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth
was filled with violence."

   Could there possibly be a better description of this generation?
Violence is daily splattered across our TV's and newspapers.
According to a 1987 Justice Department study--eight out of 10
Americans will be victims of violent crime. Since 1960, violent
crime has increased over 500 Percent. Over 16,000 crimes occur
at public schools every single day!

   Newsweek magazine, August 2, 1993, says, "VIOLENCE IS
DEVASTATING THIS GENERATION, ...".

As The Days of Lot

   Another unusual description is found in Luke Chapter 17:
"Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; ... Even thus shall it be
in the day when the Son of man is revealed." The days of Lot were
characterized by Sodom and Gomorrah -- homosexuality and
sodomy!

   The recent homosexual March on Washington, endorsed by
President Clinton, was the largest such gathering in history. Men
dressed as women, women bare breasted, men passionately kiss-
ing other men, openly simulating acts of sexual perversion, much as
in the days of Lot, they proudly flaunted their sin and sodomy. As
soldiers, declaring war on decency, they marched and chanted,
"We're young! We're queer! We're gonna rule the world".

   Sodomy and homosexuality has exploded on mainstream
America--virtually overnight! Until 1974, the American Psychiatric
Association, listed homosexuality as a mental disorder. Sodomy is
still against the law in some states. And when you consider the
deadly plague of AIDS--common sense and compassion, would
at the very least discourage the homosexual lifestyle. And yet,
without rhyme or reason, homosexuality is 'romanced and glamor-
ized' by the media, talk shows, and politicians--literally day and
night! Senator Ted Kennedy, (and many other politicians), has
vowed to pass legislation for homosexuals to be protected under
the Civil Rights Act!

   The media has portrayed the homosexual relationship as a
monogamous, loving, family environment, but according to the
Institute for Sex Research -- the average homosexual will have
between 300 and 500 sex partners! And 28 percent of male
homosexuals admitted to having sex with 2000 partners!

   Books such as Heather Has Two Mommies and Daddy's
Roommate, promoting homosexuality, are appearing in our elemen-
tary schools. And according to The Washington Post, bisexuality
and homosexuality, have become the 'in' thing among our public
schools.

   Echoing the cry of the men of Sodom, in Genesis 19:5, Michael
Swift writes in Gay Community News, "We shall sodomize your
sons, emblems of your feeble masculinity, we shall seduce
them in your schools, in your dormitories, in your gymnasi-
ums, in your locker rooms, in your seminaries, in your youth
groups."

"Somewhere, at this very moment, on
planet earth, the Anti-Christ is almost
certainly alive -- biding his time,
awaiting his cue..."

666 Is Coming

   One of the clearest prophecies dealing with the end times is 666,
the mark of the beast. No other generation could remotely claim the
fulfillment of 666. But without question, you and I, are witness-
ing the opening of the door to 666!

   InformationWeek, a major corporate magazine on Oct. 11, 1993, boldly displayed on its cover, "The Cashless Society, it's in the Cards", The article dogmatically stated, 'Bet your bottom dollar: The United States is becoming a cashless society. By next year, cards will be used to pay for health care and insurance, to receive government benefits, and to buy items in vending machines.'

   Omni magazine, June 1991, announced, 'CASH AND CREDIT CARDS WILL SOON BE OBSOLETE...'

   And if you think they're kidding, listen to this piece of information: Newsweek magazine, reported of a pilot program, being tested at the Marine Corp's Parris Island training base in South Carolina. According to Newsweek, 'THE BASE IS, IN FACT, A CASHLESS ECONOMY--even the telephones take smart cards.'

   Pilot programs are already being tested in Minnesota, New Jersey, Iowa, Oklahoma, South Carolina and Dayton, Ohio. And according to Lawrence Rudmann, USDA director of public affairs, "It's only a matter of time before ALL FEDERAL PROGRAMS-- are brought into compliance."

   In 1974, a strange mark began appearing on products. Until today, virtually everything carries those familiar UPC bar codes. And on every UPC bar code, there is three hidden numbers. THE NUMBER -- 666!

   But something else has happened...It seems some bar codes are mysteriously starting to show up with 2 letters underneath the bar code-- the letter F and the letter H! And according to researchers, they stand for forehead or hand. And the purchaser must have the required mark in their forehead or hand before purchasing!

Earthquakes in Divers Places

   In Matthew 24:7, one of the end-time signs Jesus Christ mentions is, "there shall be...earthquakes, in divers places." Look at these statistics: 

 |  Between 1897 and 1946, earthquakes registering 6 or more  |
 |  on the Richter Scale occurred at the rate of 3 every 10   |
 |  years.                                                    |
 |                                                            |
 |  Between 1946 and 1956, the rate went to 7.                |
 |                                                            |
 |  Between 1956 and 1966; the rate grew to 17.               |
 |                                                            |
 |  By the 1967 to 1976 period the number had swelled to an   |
 |  unbelievable 180!                                         |

   An increase of 6,000 percent in only 40 years!

   The United States Geological Service presently reports over a million earthquakes each year!

The Coming of the Anti-Christ

   Within the last few years, some very unusual and very unexpected events began occurring around the globe. On November 1989, against all odds, the Berlin wall came crashing down. And the once mighty Soviet Empire collapsed with a devastating sound. And the world, we once knew, began to take a new form. Never before in

history, world leaders began trumpeting for a New World Order. As trade barriers are quickly being dissolved with the likes of NAFTA, GATT and other treaties, the mysterious New World Order is right on schedule. And the center stage is set for the soon rise of the Anti-Christ.

   In Belgium, the headquarters of the European community office, statesman P.H. Spock stood up and said, 'The truth is, that the method of international committees has failed. WHAT WE NEED IS A PERSON, someone of the highest order, of great experience, of great authority, of wide influence, of great energy; either a civilian or a military man, no matter what his nationality...LET HIM COME QUICKLY.' Mr. Spock he will come...and he will come quickly!

   Author Dave Hunt, begins his book, Global Peace, with this sobering statement, "Somewhere, at this very moment, on planet earth, the Anti-Christ is almost certainly alive--biding his time, AWAITING HIS CUE..."

The Kingdom of the Anti-Christ

   The Bible teaches the Anti-Christ will head up a 10-nation, Revised Roman Empire. And on January 1, 1993, the Revised Roman Empire officially began, called the United States of Europe. The Wichita Eagle described its uncanny birth, '...Since the fall of the Roman Empire, there has been the dream of a unified Europe. We are...seeing a brand NEW ROMAN EMPIRE RECONSTRUCTED.'

   The Bible, also refers to the Revised Roman Empire as Babylon. Babylon begins in Genesis Chapter 11, when Nimrod tried to reach heaven and bring in a one-world government with the Tower of Babel, which God destroyed. The official poster for the United States of Europe is amazing! Believe it or not, but it actually portrays the United States of Europe as the Tower of Babel, with 12 stars representing the current 12 nations of the United States of Europe! And if that weren't enough, the 12 stars are not ordinary stars-- BUT UPSIDE-DOWN PENTEGRAMS (which is the universal symbol for Satanism, found on the cover of THE SATANIC BIBLE)!

   But there's more...A very interesting news item appeared in the magazine ASTM Standardization News. Standardization News is the world-wide magazine that reports on standards throughout the world. The February 1989 issue was devoted to the United States of Europe. If you don't think the Bible's coming to life, check this: The United States of Europe has decided they will utilize an identifying mark. Page 30, of the article reads, '...one cannot market or sell a product UNLESS IT HAS THE EC MARK.' Revelation 13:17, on the Mark of the Beast, reads almost identical! "And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark...."

   Friend, Jesus is coming soon! Prophecy after prophecy, not
one, not two, but many, fulfilled to the smallest detail, at the same
time, seemingly overnight, exactly as the Bible prophesied over 2000
years ago -- to say, is all just by chance or coincidence, is
ridiculous!

The Middle East Peace Treaty

   The Bible prophesies a peace treaty, between Israel and the
Middle East, will usher in the great tribulation. John Walvoord, in his
best selling book, Armageddon, Oil and the Middle East Crisis,
(p.113), says, "A Peace settlement in the Middle East is one of the
most important events predicted for the end time."

   And on September 13, 1993, the peace treaty process began.
As the world stood in awe, Israel and the PLO signed an historic
peace treaty. And peace treaties with Jordan, and Syria are currently
in the works.

   Friend, something very significant is about to happen. It's so
obvious, Time magazine of September 13, 1993, made these
remarkable statements, 'The Past few years have been an age of
miracles...The Berlin Wall tumbles. The Soviet empire melts away.
..Now comes what must be considered one of THE GREATEST
MIRACLES OF ALL: the first acknowledgement by Israelis and
Palestinians that they share the land both call home.' And the article
said this, 'Unimaginable events, consummations devoutly
wished for but never really expected, have succeeded one
another AS IF THE CREATOR HAD WHISPERED UP A NEW
WORLD.'

   Jack Van Impe was recently asked, in light of all the world-wide
events taking place, just how near are we to the Rapture? Jack Van
Impe, replied, "...in forty years of preaching and teaching
prophecy I've never been able to say this, BUT WE'RE JUST
MINUTES, HOURS, DAYS AWAY FROM THE RAPTURE."

FRIEND, THE EVIDENCE IS OVERWHELMING!
THE RAPTURE IS ABOUT TO OCCUR!

   The hour is very late! Have you ever been saved? Friend, you do
not want to miss the Rapture! The time of the tribulation will be
beyond anything imaginable! Jesus Christ, says in Mark 13:19, "For
in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning
of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be."

   There's nothing you could imagine to compare with it. Think of
the massacres of Hitler! 6 million Jews were slaughtered, their
bodies melted and made soap! Think of the horrors of Stalin as he
massacred and mutilated millions. But think of the horror when EVIL
WILL COMPLETELY TAKEOVER! The world will be controlled by
SATAN HIMSELF! The horrors of Hitler, and Stalin will seem like a
Sunday school picnic in comparison!

AND IT WILL HAPPEN!
AND IT WILL HAPPEN VERY, VERY SOON!

   Billy Graham, in his book, Storm Warning, (p.66) makes this
warning, "There is something ominous in the air, and I am intrigued
by both THE HORROR AND HOPE of what lies just ahead."

   Friend, don't miss the Rapture! Revelation 9:6 describes the
horror, "And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find
it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them."

   If you've never been saved--don't wait another minute!

YOU CAN BE SAVED THIS VERY MINUTE!

   It's simple to be saved. Know you're a sinner.
"As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:" (Romans 3:10).
"(22)...for there is no difference: (23)For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" (Romans 3:22-23).
That Jesus Christ died on the cross to pay for your sins.
"Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, ..." (I Peter 2:24).
"Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood," (Revelation 1:5).
And the best way you know how, simply trust Him, and Him alone as your personal Saviour.
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." (John 3:16)

   Pray this prayer, and mean it with all your heart.   Lord Jesus, I
know that I am a sinner, and unless you save me I am lost forever.
I thank you for dying for me at Calvary.   I come to you now Lord, in
repentance and faith, and ask you to save me.   I now receive you
as my Saviour.   In Jesus Christ's name, Amen.

FRIEND, DON'T MISS THE
RAPTURE!

"Therefore be ye also ready: for in
such an hour as ye think not
the Son of man cometh."
Matthew 24:44
