Recognizing Apostasy and Deception ~ by Dene McGriff

A concise handbook for the end times' Christian on how to recognize apostasy and deception and what to do about it. It will answer some very important questions like: How do we recognize apostasy and deception in the church? How far are we down the road to apostasy? Can you tell the difference? Do you have an alternative to the apostate church?

In Search of Babylon ~ by Dene McGriff

Bible prophecy speaks of a great “end times” empire out of which the antichrist comes that dominates the world in commercial and military terms. The greatest “blind spot” among Christians today is their inability to identify prophetic Babylon. --can you identify the culprit? Who is this great apostate “Christian” nation? What is in store for us?

In Search of the "Last Days Church" ~ by Dene McGriff

Much is said about the "early church", but what about the "last days" church? Does God have anything to say about it? Are we to continue with business as usual or is there something more? "He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the church." This is an in-depth analysis of the church as it is ... and as it should be.

Unsealing the End of Days, the Visions and Prophecies of Zechariah ~ by Doug Krieger

The “visions of Zechariah” are written for today’s “end times” Christian. The full symbolism is revealed for the first time in this book – as relevant as it gets, especially as it unveils the mystery of the “Two Witnesses”. The “Word” has come to life as never before. We are truly living in days of fulfillment and prophetic anticipation.

The Road to Damascus ~ by Doug Krieger

This up to date book deals with those events that are leading up to the Gog-Magog War, the Treaty of Hell and Death and the beginning of the final seven year count down. The “Road” describes in detail the destruction of Syria and the exact participants in the Gog-Magog conflagration. This book is up to date and contains the latest news and events with the latest prophetic revelation. As the time draws closer, our vision becomes clearer.

Antichrist and the Gog-Magog War ~ by Doug Krieger

The constellation of Middle Eastern nations has reached its "prophetical zenith" -- we are at the door of Ezekiel's Gog-Magog War and the supernova conflict between Western Empire and Radical Islam. This is a sizeable discourse on the subject; commencing in a clash of cultures and ending with the Kings of the East and Antichrist at Armageddon contending over the "hidden treasures" of the Middle East.

Antichrist - Reflections on the Desolator ~ by Doug Krieger (1/22/08)

A major work on the Antichrist has not occurred since Arthur W. Pink’s work on this sinister figure. This exposition attempts to place the whereabouts of this final desolation within the context of the biblical text that prefigures the DESPICABLE ONE as ascending from the Greco-Roman world depicted in Daniel’s prophesies and visions of the end of days. It is inescapable – we are forced, by the preponderance of texts, to conclude the personification of Antichrist is not a Jew, the Pope, Islam nor the spirit of the New Age. No, Antichrist is the pinnacle of Western Man – the locus of Babylon the Great. He becomes the Beast and his Kingdom – the Beast Kingdom. His body is physical – his spirit is, through the Abomination of Desolation, incarnated by Satan himself who entered into Judas Iscariot to perform the dastardly deed of betrayal: THE TRANSGRESSION OF DESOLATION. Your concepts of these findings will be challenged to the max; however, and in spite that our pre-tribulational brethren are convinced we are mesmerized by Antichrist, not Jesus Christ – we, nevertheless, insist the Blessed Hope does not obfuscate the exposure of the Last Days’ Assyrian. To the contrary – the admonition is straightforward: Be NOT ignorant of his devices! There can be no greater discovery of his machinations than this exposure. We commend these studies to God’s people to encourage them to “overcome him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony.” For, through the Lamb and the TESTIMONY of His people are we convinced that “the Accuser of the brethren is cast down!”

The Prophetic Sequence ~ by Doug Krieger

Although some would declare Bible prophecy’s irrelevance and demise—yet they fail to realize the world is mesmerized by its allure and prescient message of pending doom and hope. Disinterest is not an option—there’s too much going on in today’s world that demands answers. Jesus’ virtual warning and admonition to “discern the times and the seasons” strikes its urgency upon the world’s hapless crowds – how will this thing end before it begins again?

In the post-modern age of relativism where all things spiritual are being reduced to their least common denominator, and hence, to their absurd dilution of prophetic potency, has infected its virus upon us all and extinguished the virility of the prophetic message. The thinking goes that we should all just get along if we’re believers—so that the world can see our love, etc. – throw conviction and disparity of the prophetic Scriptures out the window for it sows discord among the brethren.

When this age of “prophetic reasonableness” concludes, we will be left with a residue of frightful compromise and discontent—for we’ve sown irrational ecumenism to the wind in the name of evangelical unity and we will have reaped the disquieting result of a Christianity whose “prophetic voice” has been silenced . . . offering little if any hope to a bewildered world aghast at what’s happening and why!

The PROPHETIC SEQUENCE is the anecdote—for it is in and of itself the power of the prophetic—“But you, O Daniel, shut up the words and seal the Book until the time of the end. [Then] many shall run to and fro and search anxiously [through the Book], and knowledge [of God's purposes as revealed by His prophets] shall be increased and become great” (Daniel 12:4, Amplified Bible).

May you anxiously search the Scriptures to see if these things be so—and if so, ACT—for the TESTIMONY OF JESUS IS THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY—and that means you’ve got to stand up and step-it-up, for the time is near.

Rise or fall of American Empire ~ by Doug Krieger

The “Rise or Fall of American Empire?” will be nearly a two-year discourse of America’s roller coaster ride, economically, militarily and religiously during the past two years (May, 2007 through to the winter of 2008-2009). The puzzlement of most evangelical writers regarding “America in Bible prophecy” astounds. A fundamental misunderstanding of the development of Western Civilization as the final manifestation of Gentile World Power and ipso facto the seedbed for the final Antichrist is so pervasive among American evangelical Christianity that she must disappear through some organic, military, cataclysmic or even, secret rapture, in order to dispense with the immediate socio-economic and military hegemony she now inhabits upon the planet. Come visit one of the most outlandish series of sarcasms ever written about the 800-lb. gorilla who simply refuses to get off the bed—then ponder the thought that most of American Christianity and those afflicted by her Weltanschauung refuse to come to terms with the world’s foremost commercial empire and the magnitude of her presence in all things prophetic. Yes, America, is smack dab in the middle of Bible prophecy and to assert otherwise, one has simply convoluted the Scriptures and most certainly refuses to come to terms with geopolitical realities that scream of America’s prowess throughout the earth.

Calling Forth the Remnant By Way of the Cross ~ by Stella Paterson

"Calling Forth the Remnant" by Stella Paterson is a must read for us smart, wealthy Laodicean, modern type Christians! Stella calls us back to our roots to discover the mess we have gotten into. If you were to ask any Biblically literate person, what is the main characteristic of the "last days" church, the academic answer is easy: "apostasy". But when we consider the fact that we may be describing ourselves, we may reconsider. Woops? That just couldn't be.

Read this book and you will see how far we have fallen (and apostasy means 'falling away'). I quote Stella, "No minister makes the decision to be a false teacher. But he is a false teacher if he relies on his own flesh and traditions handed down by others rather than seek the face of God." This book helps us examine our false conceptions, traditions, the role of the clergy, our "sanctuaries", and programs. God is calling forth a remnant and as Stella points out, a period of complacency and carelessness is historically followed by persecution. The tribulation of the saints will sift out that remnant which will stand as a glorious testimony in spite of (and because of) the persecution. Our choices will be limited: to be a part of the problem or the solution, the persecutors or the persecuted.

Only the Holy Spirit can give us the spirit of revelation so our prayer is that God will use this book to open your spiritual eyes.

Foxe's Book of Martyrs ~ by John Foxe

Foxe’s Book of Martyrs, is an inspiring legacy of the Church’s witness and testimony. It is “the testimony of Jesus” wherein John the Apostle “saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony which they held . . . and they cried with a loud voice, saying, ‘How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?’ Then a white robe was given to each of them; and it was said to them that they should rest a little while longer, until both the number of their fellow servants and their brethren, who would be killed as they were, was completed” (Revelation 6:9-10); therefore, it records the blood of the martyrs of Jesus and speaks to the present and ultimately, to that future day of tribulation and glory!

War on the Saints ~ by Jessie Penn Lewis

Christians need to understand the true nature of the warfare going on today in the heavenlies, on the earth, and in their hearts. This classic will open your eyes and heart to see beyond the mundane teachings you have become accustomed to. It will also expose the dangers of today’s “counterfeit revival.” Although written nearly a hundred years ago, this is a timely book for today’s church.

Centrality of the Cross ~ by Jessie Penn Lewis

Jessie Penn Lewis' classic on the Cross' Centrality is one of the most inspirational commentaries that sets Christianity apart from all other religions on earth--there is a "Lamb upon the Throne" and His description will forever declare the message of redemption and transformation in the life of every believer. The subjective aspects of the Cross of Christ in our lives--and the daily dying to self--is the unmistakable contribution that JPL has given to the Church!

The Coming Prince ~ by Sir Robert Anderson

The work of Sir Robert Anderson represents the high water mark of Nineteenth Century eschatology. His exegesis and commitment to copious detail, is unique and refreshing. Although written in the "elaborate style" of most Nineteenth Century writers, its prophetical intensity more than compensates, as it maintains the interest of the reader.

Sir Anderson's life (1841- 1918) encompassed the Victorian Era and the great eschatological awareness sweeping the English-speaking world. A time of empire, colonialism and Biblical discovery concerning the rise of that final end-times' "Revived Roman Empire" and of THE COMING PRINCE, the Antichrist. For it will be this prince who shall be that vile manifestation and ultimate Abomination of Desolation spoken of by Jesus, who shall, as the YOUNGER HORN, be the persecutor of both Jew and "Tribulation Saint." Daniel's revelation of the "Messiah the Prince" is in counter distinction to "The Coming Prince" - - FOR ONE IS THE CHRIST, AND THE LATTER IS THE ANTICHRIST!

Daniel's passages are elaborately detailed; especially, the SEVENTY WEEKS, and the incredible details of the actual DECREE TO REBUILD THE CITY OF JERUSALEM under Artaxerxes until Messiah's triumphal entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday. The chronological precision is astounding and puts to shame the faulty calculations from "Haley's Bible Handbook" and other historical interpreters of eschatology. They who deny the final Seventieth Week is yet to come, simply REFUSE to configure the pristine detail that this former Chief of Scotland Yard has determined.

Indeed, Sir Anderson, knighted by Queen Victoria for his professionalism in intelligence gathering and discovery (i.e., perhaps the "original" CSI-Crime Scene Investigator), "investigates" the Scripture and defends against the higher criticism of his day with such passion, that if a trial were held, I can assure you, Sir Anderson would win the case hands down! Could it possibly be that Sir Anderson IS the fictional character of Sherlock Holms? Some have so speculated.

But one thing is for certain: There is no fictional character to come . . . Sir Anderson makes his case for that final Roman Prince whose original legions "destroyed the city and the sanctuary" in 70 A.D. but who will this time IN PERSON come to establish a PEACE TREATY or DEFENSE PACT (not THE Covenant as some ill-informed so contrive) with Israel in the latter days, so commencing the infamous final 70th Week of Daniel. Further, as Anderson's investigation continues, this "Coming Prince" shall suspend his "agreement with the many" in "the midst of the week" and so shall the final 3 1/2 years of the GREAT TRIBULATION ensue.

You'll marvel at Sir Anderson's tone regarding a future rebirth of prophetical Israel. Friend, here is the very essence of British eschatological anticipation of THE REGATHERING OF THE EXILES to their ancient homeland . . . the precursor to the Second Coming, couched in terminology so anticipatory of May, 1948 (Israel’s Nationhood) that it sweeps your breath away and causes you to stand before your Messiah, fully assured, that He Who keeps covenant, shall utterly keep all those committed to His eternal trust!

Persistence, my lad . . . that's what's needed as you journey with this "Prophetical Sherlock" while he pursues the truth, gathers his evidence and, at last, amasses an ironclad case and ultimate conviction. Read it like a novel and you will treasure Sir Anderson's insights the rest of your life- - all skeptics to the back of the room, please! Today, the skeptics and scoffers proliferate, but, Alas!, the Almighty has His "Andersons" even in high places to confirm what is truth in the midst of apostasy and rampant lies on every side. May the Lord stir His people in this final hour prior to the greatest CSI ever! Let all those who distain the specificity of such Biblical investigation be put to shame for their superficial handling of the Word of God! Now . . . go to . . . "let God be true but every man a liar!" (Romans 3:4)

Miller's Church History ~ by Andrew Miller

Pergamos Ministries affirms the outstanding labors in Church History compiled by Andrew Miller in the 1800s. Miller has committed to the Church one of the most spiritual accountings ever recorded. His "epical" rendering of the Seven Churches of Asia depict the condition of seven general eras of Church History from the times of the apostles to the present. Frankly, the inspirational tone throughout the book (some 50+ chapters), leaves the reader awestruck and humbled by the Church's legacy . . . we are admonished to "hear what the Spirit says to the churches" for the time is short. May the Lord greatly bless us all as we read of our triumphs, despairs, sufferings, revivals and awakenings throughout history; and, as we come to terms with our apostasies and deceptions, may we rise up in prophetic voice to challenge them "by the blood of the Lamb and by the Word of our Testimony!"

Dawning: The Next Great Move of God ~ by Kenneth Uptegrove

Ken Uptegrove has just finished a book titled Dawning: the Next Great Move of God and I love how he begins in the Forward: “We are coming into the worst of times and the best of times—all at the same time.” It is a shame that most of the church has all the wrong expectations thinking they are going to be spared having to take a stand and be a witness in the last days. This will be the church’s finest moment – not something to be feared. Ken goes on to say that “time is God’s will in motion.” Most Christians are stuck in time, stuck in teachings that have been passed down from one generation to another. Prophecy doesn’t hold much interest to many believers because they are told that it has already happened, or the church will rapture escaping any “tribulation” or that the church will take dominion over the earth.

We don’t really want to be bothered by God’s talking to us. We know enough. We have our life insurance policy. Now we just want to get through, keeping hearth and home together. But instead of escaping, Ken sees a powerful role for the church: “Presently we are waiting for the Church in our generation to be pruned and revived, then harvest will be imminent. In that harvest, the Church will celebrate over a great gathering of souls for Jesus.”

His goal is to “bring unity and community to the body of Christ.” He encourages us to get back to the basics. The church is entering its finest hour and the harvest is ripe. Unfortunately, there are wheat and tares in the harvest and deception is rampant in the church. That doesn’t mean there are not many believers within the church; and that God desperately wants to reveal Himself and His plans to His body. Many will be lead away into deception, escapism or the political church. But others will rediscover community and the body life with other saints and find refreshing revival in His presence, an anointing for service and a willingness to give all for Him.

I urge you to preview this book and let God speak to your heart. This may very well be much more than the “next” great move of God but the “final” move before His long awaited coming. Maranatha! Even so, come, Lord Jesus!

How Can We Know If These Are the End Times? ~ by Dene McGriff (11/03)

This is a question every generation asks itself. Even early Christians thought they were in the end times and 2,000 years later things keep moving on. Why didn't God just get it over with back then? People get tired of "chicken littles" running around telling us the sky is falling, the world is going to end, but it doesn’t. We're still here.

The Rapture Question ~ by Dene McGriff

There is no issue of greater importance to the “end times” Christian. Action follows belief. The doctrine of a pre-tribulation rapture is one of the great apostate teachings of the day and is not supported by any straight forward reading of the Bible. It brings us to the importance of the “Two Witnesses”. Who are they? What is their purpose?

Chronology of the Book of Revelation ~ by Dene McGriff

The Book of Revelation appears to be a daunting book because it is full of imagery and seems to bounce all over time, but like an old friend, once you get to know it, it really isn’t that bad. Follow the parallels. Follow the themes. Previously, we put to rest the issue of the rapture. It is important to understand the order of events – what occurs and when. Revelation is not that hard to understand if you grasp the main theme – the testimony of Jesus Christ which is seen in his two peoples, the two witnesses: Israel and the church. Timing is important and this reinforces the timing of the rapture.

The Church in Tribulation -- Why? ~ by Dene McGriff (12/04)

The church will be persecuted but it will not suffer any judgment or wrath of God. This is an extremely important distinction. The timeline is clear. But the question remains, why is this important to God? Why put us through it? What does it accomplish?

Earthquakes of Biblical Proportion ~ by Doug Krieger (1/05)

Is there a possible pattern of quakes in the New Testament? Could there be some such significant message or rendering of prophetical importance by following the given accounts of such quakes in these Scriptures? The point to be made here is the “prophetical sphere” of the shaking: Heaven AND Earth. The Messiah is coming . . The final shaking in the heavens AND the earth will echo with perplexity and distress as the sea and the waves roar . . . “they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.”

On Twisting the Word of God ~ by Dene McGriff (10/05)

Dene outlines why Revelation 18:4 does not demand that all believers leave the country. In fact, the reader is informed that Rev. 18:4 comes chronologically after the Tribulation.

Trident Wars
Part I – The Prophetic Sequence ~ by Doug Krieger (07/06)

Trident Wars—three major conflagrations are apocalyptically poised to wreak havoc upon the inhabitants of the earth—yet, interspersed throughout are revivals, awakenings, and eternal harvesting by the Lord of the Harvest. Setting in motion earth’s final indiscretions will be: The Oracle of Damascus; next, the Gog-Magog Conflagration; and finally, the Battle of Armageddon. This first in a continuous series known as the PROPHETIC SEQUENCE provides an overview of prophetic highlights—seen as “peaks” on the Bible’s eschatology—into the Millennial Reign of the Messiah and the Eternal State. Yet, we must focus in on these three concentric circles which surround Jerusalem and bring order to the chaos which awaits the planet!

Damascus will cease from being a city
Part II – The Prophetic Sequence ~ by Doug Krieger (08/06)

Zechariah 9 and Isaiah 17-18 seem altogether distant—yet they both speak of the Burden of Damascus yet future. There is no superficial disconnect between Zechariah and Isaiah—only total prophetic collaboration. Both speak of the destruction, defeat, and acquiescence of a future Syria, Lebanon, and even that of the Palestinian Authority! Grief—how could Scriptures be so incredibly specific to see so accurately into the future? Let us peer into the amazing insights of these ancient prophets who foretold of THE WAR that would ultimately conclude the Arab-Israeli conflict and usher in the COMPREHENSIVE PEACE AGREEMENT so longed for by the nations of the world

Till the end of the War”
Part III – The Prophetic Sequence ~ by Doug Krieger (08/06)

The senseless and ceaseless Arab-Israeli Conflict is viewed as a six-part confrontation between antagonists . . . but it soon will terminate in a massive display of animosity and hatred in which its seventh and complete cataclysm will usher in an exhausted world and secular Zionist, both yearning for relief—even so, the elusive COMPREHENSIVE PEACE SETTLEMENT awaits us all. As of this writing the sixth episode in this, THE WAR, displays its outrage . . . yet its conclusion remains . . . this article brings secular observation and Biblical prophetic fact, face to face—this read will surprise you!

Israel's War
Part IV – The Prophetic Sequence ~ by Doug Krieger (08/06)

Daniel 9:26b informs that Israel would endure desolations “till the end of THE WAR” – this article outlines the six major conflicts endured by Jacob since, what the Arabs entitle: The Catastrophe, 1948. From here the Sinai Campaign, the Six-Day War, the War of Attrition, the Yom Kippur War, the 1982 Lebanon War, and finally the sixth war, the current Syrophoenicia War between Israel and Hezbollah (2006). What awaits is the Seventh War—as if a Divine Hand had tolerated this awful waste; yet, its prediction in light of Iran-Syria-Israel-USA antagonisms portends the immediate futurity of this conclusive and imminent tragedy.

America's Patriotic Prophets
Part V – The Prophetic Sequence ~ by Doug Krieger (08/06)

Hiding America’s involvement in the end-time’s prophetic sequence of events are a host of what’s been tabbed: The American Patriotic Prophets. This article either gets you mad, sad, or glad that you’re not a part of this stupidity that attempts to persuade you that “America is NOT in Bible Prophecy” – when, in point of glaring fact: THE USA IS SMACK DAB IN THE MIDDLE OF BIBLE PROPHECY! Read on, then weep—for the same Patriotic Prophets who brought you the good news of the pre-tribulation rapture—now bring you America’s divine destruction immediately following the Secret Rapture . . . who says you can’t be fooled twice!

Three Wars & One Peace Treaty
Part VI – The Prophetic Sequence ~ by Doug Krieger (09/06)

Hasidic Jews, the Lubavitcher Rebbe, and one pot-full of Evangelicals in America have a lot in common. For one—they are vehemently anti-Communist (especially, RUSSIAN communists) and both see Russia involved in the Gog-Magog War. Bashing Russia fits the profile of the Patriotic Prophets well—but the target is off—very off! This article examines why the Oracle of Damascus, according to Hal Lindsey, must come AFTER the rapture of the Church and why Gog-Magog, according to Dave Hunt and his “Jerusalem, a cup of trembling,” is really the Battle of Armageddon and doesn’t occur until at the end of Daniel 70th Week. Well, just why are these prophetic nuances so important—this article will bring this to life—and bring us all face to face with our prophetic destiny!

He will confirm the covenant... but who is he?
Part VII – The Prophetic Sequence ~ by Doug Krieger (09/06)

Those who deny the futurity of the Seventieth Week of Daniel’s prophecy and the Coming Prince, the Antichrist personified in the body of a man, yet undisclosed—look upon those who do affirm this prophetic posture as wholly deceived by Satan and headed toward utter destruction! One such critic on Israel’s future, and the Antichrist, is survivalist James Lloyd—who delights to renounce Dispensationalists in no uncertain terms; thence, he presents a clear target of rank doctrinal error, and we are more than obliged to “take him on” – for he claims we have committed “the unpardonable sin” – well, them’s fightin’ words, folks, big time!

The Prince Who Is To Come. . . But who is he?
Part VIII – The Prophetic Sequence ~ by Doug Krieger (09/06)

Century’s speculation of the identity of the Man of Sin, the Willful King, the Son of Perdition, the Lawless One runs rampant—in sum: Who is the Antichrist! This slithering imposter of Messiah shall present himself as the earth’s officious peace maker whose origins revolve around the title of The Coming Prince, or Roman Prince. Hence, the incessant speculation of the Euro-Centric Antichrist: Prince of Wales, King Juan Carlos I, or a beast from the sea of common man like Mussolini or Hitler. Who is this Knight in Shining Amour set to strut his stuff upon the world’s scene—and, could he be found in the mixed multitude of Europe’s extension: The USA?

The Devil Made Me Do I. . . . not a diversion
Part IX – The Prophetic Sequence ~ by Doug Krieger (09/06)

President Hugo Chavez of Venezuela and Pope Benedict XVI this past week (September 17-23, 2006) wound up on the opposite ends of “the devil made me do it” – Chavez by calling President Bush at the UN annual gathering of heads of state the “devil” and Pope Benedict XVI quoting from a 14^th Century Byzantine emperor, Manuel II Paleologus, who decried Islam as a violent religion: “Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached.” These two horrific outbursts only heighten the “War of Civilizations” taking place on the map—and, likewise, President Bush’s onslaughts on pressing upon the Middle East his version of democracy, much to the chagrin of Iran’s President Ahmadinejad—both of whom made this week’s follies at the UN a real display of world disintegration!

By peace he shall destroy many
Part X – The Prophetic Sequence ~ by Doug Krieger (10/06)

Ah! Blessed are the peace makers—even so, when will our fearless leader oblige the nations until there is the much-vaunted COMPREHENSIVE PEACE SEATTLEMENT long-promised to the nations of the Middle East? Could it possibly be that “by peace he shall destroy many?” What an oxymoronic concept: DESTRUCTIVE PEACE! Even so—is that not what is happening? This article points an accusatory finger at the Man of Peace—the ANTICHRIST; and, likewise, rejects the insipid doctrines of Protestants who surmise that Antichrist is but a spirit abiding in the Roman Catholic Church. The denial that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh (a fete the early Gnostics disbursed) was denounced as ANTICHRIST! Even so, there are many antichrists that are “gone out into the world” – and there is also what the Apostle John called “the spirit of antichrist.” But, don’t be so naïve—THE Antichrist lurks beneath and abounds in the “spirit of antichrist” that has gone out into the world!

Early Church Fathers Our Prophetic Legacy
Part XI – The Prophetic Sequence ~ by Doug Krieger (10/06)

The “Prophetic Sequence” is NOT based upon spurious history—no, we base our “findings” up the foundations of the “Early Church Fathers” – whereas others “among us” have little respect, nor inclination, to investigate the origins of apocalyptic drama in the Latter Days. Their outrageous prognostications are an embarrassment to clear-thinking Christians who know that to claim there is little relevance in the writings of “The Fathers” only belies their contempt for our founders and betrays the continuity of the faith once delivered! This writer is pleased to quote Polycarp, Irenaeus, Justin Martyr, and Hippolytus in this pursuit of eschatological excellence—while exposing the absurdities of modern-day proponents who claim historical credibility, only to be exposed for their shallow and agenda-driven interpretations of true historical fact! No—the Antichrist, the future Seventieth Week of Daniel, the Abomination of Desolation, the future Treaty with Death and Hell, the revival of Roman Empire and its “Western Leadership” – the Antichrist – are all recorded by the Fathers—you do well to take heed to their remarkable consistencies, including the future manifestation of a literal 1,000-year millennium!

Theo-Neo-Paleo Cons…I saw a woman mounted on a Scarlet-colored Beast
Part XII – The Prophetic Sequence ~ by Doug Krieger (11/06)

The 2006 election approaches--and will have concluded by your reading--all the while the SEVENTH KING of John’s Revelation inexorably lunges forth to the top of the hill to be the American Exceptionalism foreseen by preacher and politico. Theocons and their allies have little eschatological grasp of what they are about--all “in the name of God” and worse yet, in the Name of the Judeo-Christian-Evangelical-Catholic God! The “Woman Mounts the Beast” - and in so doing seeks the political wherewithal to orchestrate her theodicy--all the while the Beast upon whom she sits declares his noble and global intensions in the pursuit of his mercantile empire. Alas! Moral justification for the SEVENTH KING has always been sought--its culmination and eventual identification with the Beast himself, the EIGHTH (who is of the SEVENTH)--but will no longer be permitted, for he will turn on her, devour her, and burn her with fire!

Full Nuclearization... Israel will disappear.
Part XIII - The Prophetic Sequence ~ by Doug Krieger (11/06)

Go figure—the Democrats are viewed by radical Islam as the voice of sanity and retreat from their sacred lands. So, the first thing they do is shoot Nancy Pelosi’s top anti-war critic, John Murtha. Now, that makes a lot of sense. Everyone puts on the smiley face and acts like nothing happened but “love and oneness.” Meanwhile Pat Robertson proposes Northern Iraq be merged with Syria, forming Assyria (getting ready for Isaiah’s prophecy about a highway extending from Assyria to Egypt through Israel). Then there’s mega-purpose-driven Rick Warren paying obeisance to the Grand Mufti of Damascus and turning into a Propaganda Prophet for Syria. Man, can somebody save us from ourselves before President Ahmadinejad “disappears” Israel; all the while the USA, now amassing a monster flotilla in the Persian Gulf, blows the modern-day Haman off the map bringing in the 12th Imam and the Islamic Messiah! Oh, yes, this has been quite a month . . . and it’s only beginning.

The Testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of prophecy (Rev. 19:10)
Part XIV - The Prophetic Sequence ~ by Doug Krieger (11/06)

The TESTIMONY OF JESUS is about to be empowered through the TWO WITNESSES—Israel and the Church—at the close of the age. This is the “spirit of prophecy” – this is the undying love of God displayed through those who are committed to this testimony. This is a theological address primarily for Christians—Christians and the seed of Abraham, the Jews . . . it is a call to revolutionary eschatology whose time will arrive because the irrepressible perseverance of the Almighty to face off with that Great City. . . but first He must call forth His witnesses in this universal courtroom drama . . . TWO WOMEN – TWO WITNESSES – this is a must read!

“America, the Babylon”
Part XV – The Prophetic Sequence ~ by Doug Krieger (12/06)

Mystery Babylon of the Apocalypse is America the Beautiful—that’s what Richard Coombes in his book, America, the Babylon asserts. This bald-faced endeavor to expose the real Babylon of the last days has absolutely nothing to do with Charles H. Dyer’s Saddam’s Babylon, nor of Mark Hitchcock’s Euro-centric Antichrist. Neither Dyer nor Hitchcock affirms any credibility to the prospect of America as the real Mystery Babylon of the last days—but Coombes nails this “Mother of the Harlots!” It’s time the Prophetic Prophets faced up to the fact that the American Experiment was founded—not by a bunch of Puritans and Pilgrims but by sophisticated pagans—pagans who incorporated scores of ancient Babylonian symbols and architecture into America’s fabric and throughout her nation’s capital, Washington, D.C.

Calling forth the Remnant By Way Of The Cross
By Stella Paterson
Part XVI – The Prophetic Sequence ~ Intro's by Dene McGriff and Doug Krieger (12/06)

The Abomination of Desolation
A Study of the Antichrist-Beast, False Prophet-Second Beast, and the Image of the Beast (A Theological Discourse)
Part XVII – The Prophetic Sequence ~ by Doug Krieger (1/07)

The Prophetic Sequence takes an ignoble turn – the ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION . . . the apex of the Desolator! Not only the when and where of this most horrific dislocation is disclosed, but its implications upon Antichrist who is confirmed now to be the Beast – and the appearance of his counterpart, the Second Beast, False Prophet. This is a theological discourse that commences with the antithesis of the “mystery of iniquity” – the “mystery of godliness.” The tome transverses the murky waters of Christianity in discovering sundry views of the Antichrist-Beast, False Prophet-Second Beast, and the Image and Mark of the Beast – primarily among the Seventh-Day Adventists, Historicists, and British Israelism, as well as “traditional pre-millenarian – pretribulationists.”

The Abomination of Desolation
A Study of the Antichrist-Beast, False Prophet-Second Beast, and the Image of the Beast (A Theological Discourse)
Part XVIII – The Prophetic Sequence ~ By Doug Krieger (01/07)

We’re on a journey through Christendom, visiting impressions made by well-meaning brethren regarding the Abomination of Desolation. Tony Warren’s Replacement Theology version; Harold Camping’s Amillenarian Abomination of Desolation standing in every church, every temple; David A. Reed’s lambastes against the Jehovah’s Witnesses and Seventh-Day Adventists; the Anglo-Israelism of Wayne Blank, along with Herbert W. Armstrong’s conjectures; Pastor Daniel of Thunder Ministries and his not so subtle Abomination of Desolation: YOU!; Catholic Impressions of the Abomination; Tommy Spurgeon’s Islamic Abomination of Desolation; and, finally, Barbara Aho’s convolutions regarding the Abomination of Desolation. Yes, this is quite a trip—welcome aboard—this should be interesting.

The Abomination of Desolation
A Study of the Antichrist-Beast, False Prophet-Second Beast,
and the Image of the Beast (A Theological Discourse)
Part XIX – The Prophetic Sequence ~ By Doug Krieger (01/07)

Contrasting the Desolater's Will with the Divine Will, the Image of the Beast with the Image of Christ, the Desecration of the Sanctuary with the Infilling of the Spirit of Christ, the Son of Perdition with the Son of Man—is the only way we can grasp the final desolation: The Abomination of Desolation and its empowerment through the “ministry” of the Second Beast who shall create the antithesis of the Image of Christ: The Image of the Beast. The Mark of the Beast will possess all those given over to the Worship of the Beast—but, Alas! They themselves shall find ultimate worship of the Image of the Beast their most cherished delight . . . this is the climax of evil—the ultimate manifestation of the incarnation of Satan into humanity, without restraint, without law—wholly given over to sin and unrighteousness.

The Manifest Destiny of Puritans and Pilgrims
Part XX – The Prophetic Sequence
By Dr. Gavin Finley, MD ~ By Doug Krieger (02/07)

Rare it is, but from time to time, a synthesis of American history jolts the scene, causing us all to rethink what happened at our commencement of Pilgrims and Puritans and how that impacts on our current involvement in Church-State affairs. Well, that jolt takes place as you read, not only excerpts from Dr. Gavin Finley’s two chapters included in this section of the Prophetic Sequence, but his entire 17-part series on what Pilgrims and Puritans were and are really all about. How this plays out in the crucible of the 70th Week of Daniel is altogether poignant. Dr. Finley’s prescient insights are truly profound and unmistakably different from the aspects of history as taught in our public schools, and, for that matter, our post-secondary institutions as well. We heartily recommend this read.

The King of Tyre....
Part XXI – The Prophetic Sequence ~ By Doug Krieger (02/07)

The Prophetic Sequence has taken us into the final half of Daniel’s 70th Week – the Abomination of Desolation and the Reign of the Beast is in full swing; hence, the Mark of the Beast and its commercial enterprise holds sway—for without the Mark one cannot buy nor sell. This segment rehearses the economic oppression wrought by the Second Beast and the imposition of the Mark; specifically, America’s ascendancy intends to sustain its hegemony – make no mistake about it.

Can these bones live?
Part XXII – The Prophetic Sequence ~ By Doug Krieger (03/07)

Israel’s materiality is perhaps the most potent expression of Biblical prophetic literalism on earth . . . and that’s what infuriates people like Hang Hanegraaff and other Replacement Theologians who view her as a fluke of history and/or an apostate sliver of land on the eastern edge of the Mediterranean; and, worse yet, the greatest distraction of American evangelical Christianity, let alone that which leads to a racist American foreign policy that generates endless confrontation with the Moslem World. Can These Bones Live? Israel’s apocalyptic future demonstrates the Almighty’s persistence and tangibility of purpose on this earth—this is a mandatory read.

The last days of Rick Warren, Tim LaHaye, and Hank Hannegraaffe...
Part XXIII – The Prophetic Sequence ~ By Doug Krieger (04/07)

Rick Warren, Tim LaHaye and Hank Hanegraaff, aside from being wealthy American evangelicals, don’t really have all that much in common—especially, when it comes to Bible prophecy. Food fights disinterest most—if not all evangelical Christians, slugging it out as they do, in the eschatological trenches, firing off salvos of prophetical tirades across this fruited plain. A couple of direct hits have recently been made by Hank Hanegraaff on what’s left of Tim LaHaye’s prophetic behind after Hank sent The Apocalypse Code slamming into fortress LaHaye’s Pre-Trib bunker. No matter, Rick Warren, after returning from his CFR mission to Syria—knowing that Bible prophecy is at best a “distraction of the devil” and at worst, those involved will “have to die” in order for his “Purpose-Driven Church” to evangelize the earth, thereby bringing Jesus’ return—comforts us all to know that Syrian Preside Bashir Assad really is a nice man, treating Christians, in particular, with kindness and respect. Discerning the “times and the seasons” has become an art form when it comes to these guys—it’d be humor to laugh your head off when you discover what these noble souls affirm, once you discover their intricate Weltanschauungs; but it’s not, for this food fight should alarm us all—in the Prophetic Sequence!

Timing is Everything...
Part XXIV – The Prophetic Sequence ~ By Doug Krieger (05/07)

Clarence Larkin—THE GREATEST BOOK ON DISPENSATIONAL TRUTH—and I bet you never knew that! Well, I bet you never heard of Lucas Cranach the Elder either. Both these engineers/artists were extremely influential in relaying Biblical truths, especially about the book of Revelation, in their times. Cranach with Luther and his woodcuts which revolutionized the German language—making Germans-speaking people desirous to read what they were seeing in these highly suggestive woodcuts of Cranach on the Revelation, and the elaborate engineer-style drawings of Larkin who popularized the Dispensational teachings of his era, along with C. I. Scofield who popularized the dispensationalists’ teaching using his elaborate notes on the Scripture right in the Bible itself. Well, although our charts on Bible prophecy are a little rough—we, nevertheless, wrap up our 24-part series with this ambition: To enlighten a generation on the present prophetic tsunami ready to descend upon the world!

The Prophetic Sequence in Graphic Form
Part XXV – The Prophetic Sequence ~ By Doug Krieger (03/08)

This concludes the Prophetic Sequence and was a PowerPoint Presentation given to an outdoor audience at a private home in Northern California. The graphics are sequenced for greater clarity and understanding of our understanding of the divine time table as presented throughout the Scriptures.

A Revelation of Jesus Christ - Introduction ~ By Doug Krieger (06/07)

After scores of books written on this subject of the Revelation—by well-meaning futurists, historical interpreters and those who would dismiss the text as purely symbolic—this writer has concluded that the Church’s theology on the conclusion of Scripture’s canon, awaits a more relevant commentary that refuses to compromise the great Premillenarian insights of the 1800-1900s, while facing the immediate with the living Word of God that will yet speak into our generation.

The Church and Israel, are woven into the “Climax of the Ages” – the Antichrist-Beast, False Prophet, Image of the Beast and their worship shall be confronted by the “saints of the Most High” with overcoming faith: “By the Blood of the Lamb, and by the Word of their Testimony” – because they refuse to love themselves unto the death! The Seven Seals, Trumpets, Bowls and Thunders shall yet descend upon the “the face of the whole earth” – but our assessment of their judgments and curses must undergo an agonizing reappraisal by the believing Church, and prophetic Israel.

Our understanding and practical engagement in these major prophetical themes will no longer tolerate a “Laodicean indifference,” nor a Eurocentric, theological bias. Blatant at worst, and benign at best, disregard for the “signs of the times,” and an “eschatological aloofness” which bespeaks more of blind national patriotism and “scriptural isolationism,” rather than humble interaction with the “pure Word of God” in the “midst of a crooked and perverse generation,” confirms Babylon’s grip upon our psyche and the shallowness of our spirituality. Are the “children of this world” really “wiser than the children of light?” Do you think it dictatorial or insightful that communist China omits the Revelation of Jesus Christ from their “Three-Self Movement” Bible distribution? Do the Kings of the East perceive their demise and wish to excise its revelation? Yet we who freely disseminate and read the Apocalypse ill-recognize the implications it portends!

Unless the theological core of Premillenarian thought undergoes a rigorous course correction, an ill-prepared, earth-bound, heavenly-denying, end-times’ Church, shall have little viable witness to a world careening out of control—facing the encroachment of imperial dictatorship, Antichrist, unceasing wars, famine, death and all within the false delusions of peace and safety; taking place in the here and now—right in our own backyard! Notwithstanding our short-sightedness—there’s much hope, because the God Who spoke the universe into being, has no intention to remain silent at the pivotal point of human history.

Jesus Christ Does the work of Antichrist?
A perfectly timed heresy . . . says who? ~ By Doug Krieger (11/07)

Jesus Christ does the Work of Antichrist concludes the 26 Chapters of the full e-book text: ANTICHRIST – REFLECTIONS ON THE DESOLATOR. Herein lies the preposterous notion touted about by unwitting or unscrupulous brethren who erroneously assume that the “he” in Daniel 9:27 refers to Jesus Christ, and not to the antecedent which traces back to Antichrist himself: “The prince who is to come” or THE COMING PRINCE. What these “attributors” have done is to truncate the final seven years of Daniel’s 70th Week to one of three pitfalls, thereby assigning the “breaking of the covenant” in the “midst of the week” to Jesus Christ, and not to Antichrist: Daniel’s 70th Week is contiguous in the mind of Pastor Steve Wohlberg of the Seventh Day Adventist persuasion commencing at Jesus’ baptism and terminating at the Spirit’s baptism of Cornelius, 3.5 years after the crucifixion of Jesus; Duncan McKenzie’s Planet Preterist view wherein the commencement stays the same and the final 3.5 years concludes immediately prior to 70 AD and the destruction of the Second Temple under Titus of Rome; and Ken Birks’ “half truth” which allows for the same commencement but concludes that the final 3.5 years occurs as the “Great Tribulation” or the final 1,260 days is yet future. All three claim that the antecedent of “he” in Daniel 9:27 refers back to “Messiah the Prince” who was cut off in Daniel 9:26 and not to “the prince who is to come” – or the Antichrist who is mentioned after the cutting off or the crucifixion of Messiah in vs. 26. This isolated thinking neglects the contextual significance of the Desolator’s pervasive termination of Israel’s future sacrifice in Daniel 8, 11, and 12. This error is veritable heresy in that the person and work of Antichrist has been attributed to Jesus Christ!

Israel's Prophetic Witness
“To Finish the Transgression . . .and to Anoint the Most Holy” ~ By Doug Krieger (1/08)

The President of these United States of America, George Walker Bush, will during next week (January 6-12, 2008) visit both Israel and the Palestinian Authority. All eyes are fixated upon the purpose of this mission and the pending compromises which must be made by both in order to secure the peace. Israel and the Palestinians, yes the whole world, looks to the USA to bring its full authority and diplomatic expertise to bear upon this Gordian Knot of irrepressible and enduring conflict between “the Jews” and the surrounding nations and peoples—some of whom advocate that “Israel Must be Wiped off the Map.” In this final chapter of “Antichrist – Reflections of the Desolator” we delve into what the New Israel of God (Amillenarianism, The Seventh-Day Adventists, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and the Mormons) has done in the past regarding their peculiar replacements towards National Israel and their 2,300-Day methods of disenfranchising “your people and your holy city” – and just why, in spite of Abraham’s seed’s relentless endurance through the centuries, NOTHING shall be able to thwart the ultimate purposes of God – for “The Ark of the Covenant” has been seen in the heavens validating His eternal quest to vindicate His Name!

The True “Church Life”

The Body Life ~ by Dene McGriff (10/04)

I would not have believed it if I hadn’t experienced it for a number of years – meetings with upwards of 200 or 300 people or more in a large hall that was totally unscripted because the Holy Spirit was in control. There was no “order of worship”. Anyone could begin by a prayer, a song, a testimony. Very often the Holy Spirit led us corporately in a single theme. Anyone was free to participate at any time. There was no chaos. There was order. The meetings were fresh and often glorious.

An Experiment in “Church Life” ~ by Dene McGriff (10/05)

Is a dynamic living church life where everyone is a participant rather than a spectator, where everyone brings a psalm, a hymn, a testimony or revelation, even possible in these days? This has been described in Chapters 18-20 in the book Recognizing Apostasy and Deception, but is it possible today? Where would I find such a living community of saints? How could I be a part of such a “body life”? Where do I find it?

Individualism and the American Church - Part 1 ~ by Doug Shearer (1/06)

Who would doubt that the American experiment is wholly out of balance—particularly its social and cultural structures! Indeed, witness the economic strangulation of the American family—need I say more on the causes of disintegration? There’s always history from whence we could learn a lesson—a lesson no less convincing when we delve into the “dark side” of Luther’s Reformation! That’s right. The personal salvation of the soul produced a social and ultimate cultural revolution whose culmination has exploded upon the American Century

Individualism and the American Church - Part 2 ~ by Doug Shearer (1/06)

Continuation of Part 1 above.

Individualism and the American Church - Full Article ~ by Doug Shearer

The nexus of Protestantism is a two-edged sword: On the one side is the individual’s responsibility before God—personal salvation through Christ alone; on the other side is a genie released from the confines of the Medieval Church and its powerful community-based ethos. Now, through that severance comes the dark side of such freedom—abject secular humanism and the ultimate alienation of the American Christian and its Church. Dr. Shearer’s penetrating and compelling analysis is so revealing, so obvious—how could we miss it—yet, we have. So . . . where is the real Church Life?

“Cut and Run” Christianity! ~ by Dene McGriff (10/05)

Only in America; only in the fat and sassy western world, could Christians come up with a “cut and run” theology! If the pre-tribulation rapture folks are right, we will be pleasantly surprised, but if they are wrong, we are in for a rude awakening! Although the pre-trib doctrine may seem trivial to some, it may well be the keystone to deception as events unfold and Christians misinterpret their significance.

"Still Born" Christians ~ by Dene McGriff (11/06)

Very few Christians have any idea what happened to them when they got “saved”. Even fewer have any idea how to go on once they are saved. They don’t know or appreciate that they have a human spirit, what it is and how to use it.

Prophetic Highlights ~ by Doug Krieger (10/07)

Getting an overview of a mountain rage demands that one may have to ascend to the highest peak and see the other peaks which predominate the given range. That’s what the Prophetic Highlights attempts to do. This “prophetic panoply” gives a broad outline of the final “end of days” prior to the Millennial Reign of the Son of David. This includes the profound and growing awareness of the prophetic Scriptures at the “end of days” as announced by Daniel in Daniel 12:4. It moves on to “human and earthly conditions” and then enters into the world of Babylon the Great – the Great Apostasy (Religion), King of Tyre (Commerce); and finally, the King of Babylon (Antichrist-Beast) and the Beast Nation.

From here “highlights” gazes upon the rise of Prophetic Israel, the three Prophetic Wars of the Oracle of Damascus, the Gog-Magog War, and the final conflict: Armageddon. In the midst of all this is the Testimony of the Two Witnesses (Israel and the Church); the end-time’s revivals and finally, what is our response, prophetic response, to all of this: How Shall We Then Live?

For those looking for the “prophetic essentials” – this is an excellent overview – you’re encouraged to fulfill Daniel 12:4 by “going to and fro throughout the Book (most “anxiously”) to determine the purposes of God” yourself!

Despise not prophecies ~By Doug Krieger (8/07)

An alarming, and ongoing, phenomenon continues to plague the Evangelical Church - the rise of Preterism (nearly all Bible prophecy has already been fulfilled - and most of it during the First Century) and the modernized "Emergent Church" movement - whose disdain for the prophetic is no secret, but whose replacement of the Last Days and the Coming of Messiah, with "social justice" attached to their so-called gospel message leads the way into a Christianity that is miles wide and one-half inch deep!

Distorting the Scriptures in this vain attempt to blatantly decouple the gospel from the prophetic smacks of a "purpose-driven" egocentricity that celebrates the believer's purposes as if they had little to do with "the purposes of God" - instead the purposes of God are centered on "what's-in-it-for-me" style Christianity, rather than how believers can line up with the purposes of God as revealed in the Scripture of Truth, and in particular, to the prophetic calling of both Israel and the Church.

The Great Apostasy rages on in this misuse of the Word of God--if you would: Handling the Word of God deceitfully. The Church must regain her prophetic imperative for the TESTIMONY OF JESUS IS THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY--and, diluting that emphasis with blather that denies the message found in Daniel 12:4 which contends that the study of the "purposes of God" in the "end of days" will increase, and is therefore indicative of the Last Days itself, will survive and ultimately thrive among believers who refuse to let this present deception rob them of the Blessed Hope of His Coming in Glory and Power!

The preaching of the true gospel and the purifying of the interior life of the believer is inseparable from the One Who stands in the midst of the Seven Churches in Revelation 1 and of John's final appeal: "Even so, come Lord Jesus!" "Despise Not Prophecies" is a read that will challenge God's people to prophetic renewal and realization that without "a more sure word of prophecy" our gospel will remain hidden and our hope disquieted - but if the prophetic is embraced, will bring repentance and revival to the Laodecian-minded Church of the Last Days.

Apostasy in the Church

When a Good Man becomes a "God-Man" ~ by Doug Krieger (4/06)

The ecumenism of Rome is now at full tilt with the election of Cardinal Ratzinger as Pope Benedict XVI. Religious under girding of the political Beast of Revelation 13 provides righteous covering for Antichrist's exploits. Rome's pomp and circumstance provides compelling evidence that the False Prophet's arrival upon earth's final week is well prepared!

The Immoral Minority ~ by Doug Krieger

This is an exposé of some very modern day false prophets as forewarned by Jesus in Matthew 24.

The Immoral Minority Scene II ~ by Doug Krieger

It only gets worse...Religion + Commerce = Political Victory

Guilt Money ~ By Frank E. Reilly (02/05)

The "War on Terrorism" has taken a decidedly unpopular twist -- but it's nothing that money can't fix; the only problem is this: It's blood money . . . read on and get the real news behind the news from the New Hampshire Minuteman!

Sheer Theological Nonsense ~ by Doug Krieger (12/04)

Beneath the crust of today’s “religious commercialism” lies a religious arrogance and pride, coupled with spiritual superiority, that has become the bane of the Church. This is NOT news—for the “Scribes and Pharisees” in Jesus’ time were plagued by this pathology… To the contrary—the prophetic depiction of the servants of the Lord, the TWO WITNESSES—is one of triumphant and empowering testimony at the commencement of the Seventieth Week and of grace and courage under fire during the latter half of that Great Tribulation.

Stunned ~ by Barbara Kirchhoff (4/06)

False Prophets at TBN (Trinity Broadcasting Network) working hard for your money!

Johann Tetzel, Scaring The Hell Out Of Christians ~ by Doug Krieger (4/06)

Intimidation and subterfuge -- by all means to raise money for worthy and/or "desperate" Christian ministries! Tetzel and TBN, among others, have a lot in common.

Apostasy Comes First ~ by Doug Krieger (12/04)

This five-part series uncovers the inherent deceit within the “Great Falling Away from the Faith” prophesied in Scripture to take place in the “latter times.” It is noteworthy to observe that this affliction not only insinuated itself upon ancient Israel—but its most profound impact occurs within the Church; so much so, that the very Elect are plagued by its deception.

Talk Show Christianity ~ by Doug Krieger (6/06)

Ever wonder why Christian "talk shows" are full of "financial advice?" Well, go figure: That's how the Laodecians become "responsible stewards" in a world in which they feel more and more comfortable!

Make Not My Father’s House A House Of Merchandise! ~ by Doug Krieger

Just when you thought that the depths of “evangelical ministries and churches” seeking after filthy lucre and the “mammon of unrighteousness” could not get any more ostentatious—we’re hit with the recent LA Times articles on the financial excesses of the Trinity Broadcasting Network—the world’s largest evangelical programming network! ...Jesus, once again, must throw the modern-day money changers from the Temple!

3-D Deception ~ by Barbara Kirchhoff

The Christian Right has been left “dazzled, dizzy and drunk” by their exposure to false prophets that currently parade across the television screen and fill the pulpits of countless churches.

Scary Statistics ~ by Doug Perry

This is a compilation of the scariest, most embarrassing, most shocking statistics and information about the Church and its affairs. Big Government. Big Business. Big Oil. Big Tobacco. BIG CHURCH. The Church has become part of the problem. We're not living like Christ. Of course they think we're hypocrites - because we ARE! Forgive us, God.

Shrine of Micah ~ by Doug Krieger

The American MegaChurch is NOT a new phenomenon . . . its elaborating marketing techniques, purposefully mirrored (or "driven" ... whichever you prefer) after the American corporate model bespeaks of Israel's original quantum leap into apostasy when Micah implemented similar techniques involving money, fame, worldly marketing strategies and a whole host of pop mechanisms which dwarfed the rather shabby appeal of the "Tent of Meeting" pitched nearby in Ephraim. You'll be shocked to discover the Tribe of Dan's downfall has everything to do with the "MegaChurch" of yesteryear!

The Old Wineskin – Pagan Christianity
Chapter 7 of The last Days Church ~ By Dene McGriff

The Church today is broken and can’t be fixed. It is weighted down by meaningless forms, practices, traditions and programs, by a clergy that tries hard to serve the laity but fails miserably. But it is lifeless and irrelevant. It is an old wineskin that must be discarded if Christians are to discover a living relationship with Christ and one another. Not only are the roots pagan but most of the practices we accept today bear no resemblance to the living early church.

Deception

Recognizing Deception ~ by Dene McGriff (11/07)

One of the major characteristics of the last days is deception. Christians are ripe for deception because their closely held doctrines are contrary to the actual unfolding of events in the last days. Given their predisposition to a pre-tribulation rapture or a dominionist position, they will not recognize what is happening. Christians do not pay attention to prophecy. It is irrelevant to them. They see no role for America in the last days, and will do anything to support Israel.

Recognizing Deception Chapter 1 – How Christians Will Be Deceived ~ by Dene McGriff (12/07)

Recognizing Deception Chapter 2 – Loosing our First Love by Dene McGriff (1/25/08)

If Christians lose their first love, they will be deceived. Every Christian has ups and downs. His love for God goes cold, but only a fresh living relationship will save one from deception.

Recognizing Deception Chapter 3 – The Church of Deception ~ Dene McGriff (1/25/08)

Deception is rampant in the Christian Church which God Himself evaluates in the letters to the seven churches in Revelation 2 and 3. The church has gone back to dead religion, buildings and a clergy based system, and lost the essence of the living organism it should be. The last days Christian should carefully evaluate his church and where he is.

Recognizing Deception Chapter 4 – Deception Made Easy ~ by Dene McGriff (2/7/08)

Man is easily deceived and manipulated. The world is far too complex to understand. Our leaders and experts confidently assure us that they are in control and we belong to the group at many levels – family, community, country. We will die for the group. The hallmark of the last days will be deception, so much so that the antichrist will demand and receive the devotion of the entire world. Read this article to see how easy it is to deceive and how it is done.

Recognizing Deception Chapter 5
The Death of the American Dream and the Deceitfulness of Riches ~ by Dene McGriff (2/26/08)

“The Death of the American Dream, the Deceitfulness of Riches” examines the myths and lies Americans have been led to believe. We don’t have to produce. Just consume. Debt doesn’t matter. Housing always goes up. And yet we have no idea how far we have fallen from the greatest producer nation to the greatest debtor nation the world has ever seen. The piper must be paid. Sooner or later America will fall into an era of stagflation and decline. The rich will get richer and the poor will get much poorer.

Recognizing Deception Chapter 6 –
Can We Avoid Economic Meltdown? ~ by Dene McGriff (3/20/08)

We need to challenge conventional wisdom. We are told our economy is just fine. The fundamentals are good. But at the same time, the American economy is so precarious; we are closer to a Great Depression that will forever change the world economic landscape.

Recognizing Deception Chapter 7 -
The Devil is in the Derivatives…he lurks in “shadow banking!” ~ by Dene McGriff (04/02/08)

The Devil is in the derivatives – a $500 trillion time bomb about to destroy the world’s financial system, destroy your savings and retirement. This shadow banking system is unregulated and out of control.

Communicating the Message ~ by Dene McGriff (11/04)

A lesson in sticking to the basics – God’s Word. Human wisdom and words are no match for what God can accomplish when his Word is shared.

On Judging Others ~ by Dene McGriff (05/05)

To what extent should Christians judge other Christians? Are they just being negative?

Deceive Even the Elect ~ by Dene McGriff (09/07)

No one can imagine Christian brothers and sisters killing one another. But caught up in Patriotic and Israeli fervor, they can do anything, especially when the power of the antichrist is behind it.

Is Prophecy Bogus? ~ by Dene McGriff (09/06)

Is prophecy important or “nice to know” information – or “need to know information? Why Christians get it wrong every time!

Patriotic Armageddon... Can you hear me now? ~ by Doug Krieger (07/05)

This is an addendum to Chapter 28 of the Book: Antichrist and the Gog Magog War. The War in Iran began several months ago--but in earnest this August 2005, the world will know what is really going down! Iran's nuclear intentions have been known by the USA for some time--the election of an arch-Islamic radical as Iran's new president was the final straw.

Deception - Cafeteria style of Christianity ~ by Dene McGriff (9/07)

Christians think they can pick and choose what is important and what they want to believe. They ignore prophecy at their own peril.

I could care less - Chapter 6 of the "False Prophet" ~ by Doug Krieger (6/08)

A growing number of skeptics – actually, among evangelicals – grow weary of those whose apparent focus centers on the prophetic Scriptures. We should be about social justice, full-blown evangelism (as if we’re not into either one) – instead of the myriads of eschatological schemes spun by every millenarian camp this side of the kingdom. So, now’s about time to pop their little pious bubbles and bring them all into Matthew 24-25 and get ready for the BIG ONE! The Son of Man does not concern Himself so much with manifesting His kingdom at the Olivet Discourse juncture—so He lays out the real “end of the age” and His Coming in glory to establish the kingdom. The disciples were oblivious as to the time frame He was discussing – that’s why Jesus addresses the attitude of the persons awaiting His Coming, more so than the Coming of the Kingdom itself.

The Church – a Source of Deception Chapter 8 - In search of the "Last Days Church" ~ by Dene McGriff

The church will be deceived in the last days and anyone still in it remains at their own peril. The church is a dead, useless institution, that prevents the saints from becoming mature, overcoming Christians.

Politics

Howard Dean's Big Fat Mouth ~ by Doug Krieger

The DNC's Chairman, Howard Dean, reflects a deep-seated disdain for "White Christianity's" apparent takeover of Republican politics. Babylon's "house divided"--where Greeks deride Romans--is endless. Rest assured, The Empire will predictably prevail. Check out the high drama dynamic being played out before the whole world.

Cut and Run . . .of Politicos, Pop Stars, and Prophets ~ by Doug Krieger (11/06)

Talk of Democrats “Cut and Run” war policies, along with pop stars who have a rather discordant chorus of ditties out there—seems incoherent and rather preposterous, given the political climate for victory and the like. Democrats appear to have missed another opportunity to take control (June, 2006)—but time is not on either political side. And, for that matter, time is not favorable for Christians who wish to do the same, viz., RAPTURE, and leave the mess to the “Left Behind” Tribulation Saints and the Jews! Cut and Run—better take a gander at what happened to Elijah, real quick, before you take off to Canada to escape her “sins and plagues” - we do well, all 7,000 of us who have not bowed our knee to Baal, to follow Elijah from the Cave of Horeb back to face off Jezebel. . .

Irrational Geopolitical Exuberance of the Left ~ by Doug Krieger

Bush’s globetrotting to South Asia (India, Pakistan, etc.) the first week of March, 2006 puts the political Left into apoplectic seizure. Why? For one, the Commander-in-Chief has no intention of fulfilling their greatest joys: The collapse of the modern era’s Commercial Empire, the USA. No, American Empire is NOT declining; the dollar is NOT disintegrating as the world’s currency; America is NOT in seismic implosion—economically, politically, or for that matter, socio-religious disintegration. Shame upon the Left for their irrational geopolitical exuberance; akin to “Rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated!” Wiser to look at the facts, juxtaposed to the hopeful but bordering on disingenuous thinking of the Left.

Bush-Blair... Axis of Evangelicals ~ by Doug Krieger

Tony Blair, the Brits’ version of what we thought was Bill Clinton’s reflection—has undergone a steady metamorphosis into the image of George W. Bush. The latest devolution of the once immensely popular Blair into his evangelical counterpart Bush involves divine intervention into the affairs of Middle Eastern wars—and telling the Brits “In the end, there is a judgment . . . if you believe in God, it’s made by God.”

The United States of Europe is a Joke ~ by Doug Krieger

Ascendancy of the United States of Europe as the "Revived Roman Empire" and ultimate base of a future Antichrist is finished! Why? For starters: The total rejection of the European Union's Constitution by FRANCE! Isn't it about time to wake up and smell the coffee, roses, or something dead? The American New World Order System trumps all bases for a future Antichrist. Sorry, Hal Lindsey, Tim LaHaye--the 11th Horn of Daniel is the elephant in the photo, not that silly little, ten-toed, Euro-Canary sitting on the behemoth!

The Green Cross ~ by Doug Krieger

Mikhail Gorbachev and the New Age environmentalists have a lot in common. For one, they both believe in the same god. But, guess who else digs their "Green Cross" and is repulsed by the Cross of Christ? Isn't it interesting that the New Age religion, and the political leaders who embrace it, affirm their new god with such religious zeal? Don't think the Left doesn't have its religious streak.

Hitler's Positive Christianity… ~ by Doug Krieger (6/06)

The parallels seen in today's stalwart support given by millions of American conservative Christians in the current War on Terrorism and support drawn from Christianity in Nazi Germany in the early 1930s is NOT a quantum leap or conjecture--there is a frightful connection going on here between politics and religion; and, those who trivialize this phenomenon, could find themselves repeating the dastardly history of earth's most recent past!

Triumphal Christianity ~ by Doug Krieger

Confused at the "quadrennial quagmire" (i.e., the Presidential election) . . . don't be: The agenda of the so-called Christian Right is plain and simple. . . read on.

Prophecy and the Election ~ by Dene McGriff (11/04)

This article was written the day before the Presidential Election predicting that Bush would win. Why? Prophetic Momentum. His loss would mean a break in the alliance between the “Church” and the Republican Party.

To Vote or Not to Vote ~ by Dene McGriff (8/04)

To vote or not to vote, that is the question. Many Christians are caught in a quagmire. If they vote, they are voting against the better of two evils. There isn’t much choice… Which citizenship really counts? The one you have in this world or the one in eternity? Where is your citizenship?

Deception and Guilt ~ by Dene McGriff (11/04)

The Christian voter is caught in a conundrum. Are U.S. Christians guilty by association because they voted for values and helped to reelect an administration that really stands for favoritism for business and elites, mounting debt and globalism through war or are they just deceived?

Michael Moore’s Jesus Land and the Moral Majority Scene II ~ by Doug Krieger (11/04)

Leftists like Michael Moore view the new map of the USA and it looks like "Jesus Land" -- definitely a place to leave; so how can you "flee Babylon" when you're living in "Jesus Land?" See a map of Michael Moore’s Jesus Land.

Democratic Globalism ~ by Doug Krieger (7/04)

The United States of America is no longer hiding her claws—no rival or United Nations or allied opinion can resist this colossus that struts her stuff across the planet. The economic disintegration, and political demise of the former Soviet Union, established the sole super power upon the globe in 1991. This hegemonic expression “found herself” the inheritor of all that exemplifies Western Civilization.

Political Power ~ by Douglas Shearer (1988)

Monday, February 8, 1988 – I found my eyes glued to the television-set. I was transfixed!! Almost mesmerized!! Excited, but troubled as well—strangely apprehensive!! By early evening it had become clear to the entire American press-corps that Pat Robertson had managed to contrive a major political upset in the Iowa caucuses—scoring a second place finish behind Senator Bob Dole and forcing George Bush, the sitting Vice President, to settle for an embarrassing third. This is an insightful commentary of the rise of the “religious right.”

The Republican National Convention:
How the Democrats lost the heartland of American Populism ~ by Doug Krieger (8/04)

Liberal Democrats don’t get it. America’s “book ends” don’t get it. Kerry’s on a boat somewhere and will wait until next week and film it. Barbara Streisand has never even seen it… Hunkering down in the South, the Mid-West, the West, in Middle America somewhere—well, you got any better ideas? It reminds me of the train taking Kerry and Edwards to Colorado through Kansas this summer…a chat on division in America. This is a personal reflection on how Democrats lost middle America . . . not how the Republicans won it!

Why the Dems Can’t Stand Tom DeLay and Tim LaHaye,
Parts I & II ~ by Doug Krieger

This series shows the parallel lives of two men – a politician and a preacher and the marriage between church and state. The “RULES OF ENGAGEMENT” in “majority American politics” has unalterably shifted—but most of the Dems. have gone to Egypt and are in deNIAL. DeLay/Bush are “representative” of numerous politicians (including recent “convert” Karl Rove, Bush’s political strategist par excellence) who have entered POWER RELIGION.

The Future of America ~ by Dene McGriff (9/03)

Article looks at economic outlook, political and prophetic future of America

The Crusader vs. The Caliphate . . .The Bush Doctrine:
Defeat the Radical Islamic Empire! ~ by Doug Krieger (10/05)

The "green menace" has replaced the "red menace" . . . and a green veil descends from the Pillars of Hercules in the Atlantic to the Indonesian Archipelago in the Pacific-A Radical Islamic Empire: The Caliphate! President George W. Bush has, at the National Endowment for Democracy, once and for all, defined the "Bush Doctrine" which has emerged from its post-Crusader-9/11 beginnings to its embellishments and democratic initiatives, including "religious freedom" in the Middle East. Ours is a war against an implacable foe bent on unmitigated evil, unconscionable fanaticism, murder, and deceit-"We will never back down, never give in, and never accept anything less than complete victory . . . there is no peace without victory . . . we will keep our nerve and we will win that victory!"

Kill the Infidels! From Cartoons to Conversion ~ by Doug Krieger (08/06)

Common cause is discovered between European secularists and American crusaders against the evil doers when sacred freedoms of the Enlightenment—like freedom of the press, speech, and other sacred cows of Western democracies are desecrated. What a geopolitical hoot is this! Finally, the Americans and the Europeans have a common cause—a war against the INTOLERABLES. The Danes, wouldn’t you know it, are the despicable infidels who took such desecration of Mohammed to heart and triggered both an Islamic outrage, as well as a consolidation of Western resolve to defeat the intolerant Islamofascists.

Wild Speculation...Heading toward Annihilation! ~ by Doug Krieger (04/06)

It’s Easter, 2006, the denial of Seymour Hersh’s “The Iran Plans” by President Bush is done with spectacular verbosity: WILD SPECULATION. The US is NOT going to bomb Iran into the dark ages after all? President of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, tags the West’s denial of Iran’s nuclear ambitions an effort which would “cause an everlasting hatred in the hearts of Iranians.” Meanwhile, Iran is holding anti-Zionist conferences—“Israel is heading toward annihilation” (Ahmadinejad) . . . while the US builds the world’s largest Embassy on the banks of the Tigris River! The “prophetic tension” is unbelievable!

Apostle Peter wins as Jerusalem's first NP Mayor. . .
Nazarenes Trump Greco-Roman Traditionalists ~ by Doug Krieger (07/06)

Rewriting history is not my passion; however, given the Nazarene Party’s (NP) original knockout punch to the Greco-Roman Traditionalists (GRT) which set the Empire on its head (cir. 56 A.D.), I can do none else! A meaningless and somewhat contentious display (in the midst of all this religious involvement (by both the NP and the GRT) in the political square) by a group known as the Overcomers (OCs) was accused of vehemently protesting against the religio-political involvement of the NP. Oddly enough, the OC was renounced by both the NP and the GRT as anti-governmental—especially since most of the OC failed to identify the Emperor as a god-like (in A.D. 52 the Emperor had renounced direct divinity). All this, along with the GRT’s new “Strategy of Empowerment” to counteract the rise of the NP by running the OBAMAMUS-CLINTONIUS ticket in the next elections—the more things change, the more they stay the same! Meanwhile, the OC won’t stay silent and that’s really irritating the NP and GRT. The axis of political power (viz. NP v GRT) now entrenched throughout the Empire find common cause in their disgust of the OC. Some have even claimed that the OC is, in point of fact, a de facto party of SPIRITUAL ANARCHISTS—nonviolent, of course, but are so extremely libertarian in their demeanor that the Roman New World Order System simply cannot abide them much longer . . .

Hill-Billy …the 2008 political follies ~ by Doug Krieger (2/08)

Hilly Billy puts a new face on the 2008 race for the White House. But just who’s funding the likes of Hillary and Obama? Would you imagine the corporate barons, and worst yet, the Saudi Royals.

The Economy

Economic Deception: Are You Ready for Meltdown? ~ by Dene McGriff (1/04)

If we are living in the “last days” and coming into a time the Bible calls the worst “tribulation” in the history of the world, and if the economic system stops us from buying and selling without the “mark of the beast”, one can imagine, that a lot of crazy things happen leading up to that total control. We are talking about a government that is putting into motion programs that will control our every movement and an economy that will meltdown.

The Mother of All Deceptions ~ by Dene McGriff (8/07)

A recession or depression is a natural reaction of the economy to bring the system back into balance – squeezing excess investment, manufacturing capacity, dollars, and adjusting balance of payments and currency inequities and so forth. As economists point out, the longer the correction is postponed, the worse it will be. The Fed intervened in the dot.com recession of 2000 by lowering interest rates to one percent and pumping new dollars into the economy, causing the housing bubble. Now, in 2007, rather than allowing the economy to self correct, they are injecting more money, lowering interest rates – in essence bailing out businesses that should be allowed to fail. This will only postpone and make the inevitable adjustment worse.

Derivatives, Fascism and the Almighty Dollar ~ by Dene McGriff (3/06)

There is a monetary time bomb ticking out there – that could go off any day now, blowing up the world economy. The shaky dollar, a fascist government and a house of cards brings us to the brink of apocalypse!

America: Boom or Doom? (Will We Always Prosper?) Part III ~ by Dene McGriff

America: Boom or Bust? Which is it? Is the economy robust and growing as the administration and most analysts insist? They say the fundamentals are all good - inflation is under control, economic growth is steady and unemployment is low! Doesn't the government have it all under control? They say America is the capital fund manager of the world. It is so big and powerful; deficits and trade imbalances don't matter. The world needs us. They need our dollars! They need our genius.

The Pooring of America, the Economic Outlook Part IV ~ by Dene McGriff (1/06)

The Pooring of America, the economic outlook by Dene McGriff looks at America’s declining economy, the widening gap between rich and poor, and the Biblical prophetic imperative that America will remain the great consumer nation to the end..

Cracks in the Economic Foundation ~ by Dene McGriff (11/04)

Massive federal debt, a balance of payments disaster, and record low interest rates, which have led to various speculative bubbles has turned the U.S. economy into a house of cards that is about to come tumbling down. Turn to the Lord for wisdom and guidance as to what to do.

Shopping for Jesus ~ by Barbara Kirchhoff (11/04)

What does the four week shopping orgy between Thanksgiving and Christmas have to do with the celebration of the birth of our Lord? Absolutely nothing. It does, however, have a lot to do with greed.

Economic Armageddon ~ by Dene McGriff (12/04)

What produces real economic growth – consuming or producing? Do you grow the economy by making a shoe or buying a shoe? Can we borrow our way to prosperity?

Protecting the Global Economy ~ by Doug Krieger (12/04)

Industry, and the so-called “Military-Industrial Complex” that President Eisenhower warned us before he left office—is very much alive and well. An Imperial America from history would boggle the imagination—something is going on here and it’s time we all woke up to the reality of what has happened: the American empire is for real! What’s driving this commercial empire is pure, unadulterated greed!

Lies, Damned Lies ~ by Dene McGriff (6/05)

This is a first in a series of articles looking at the coming economic collapse. The first part is on government statistics and why you can’t trust them. The second will deal with the root of the problem and the third with the Biblical prophetic outcome. “Lies, Damned lies and Statistics” looks in detail at the government cover up and obfuscation in reporting inflation, employment, economic growth and bubbles.

Modern Alchemy: The Money Illusion Part 2 ~ by Dene McGriff (08/05)

This is the second in a series on the world financial system and how the government lies and manipulates it. The Federal Reserve is a private corporation that creates money out of nothing and this is how they do it!

Exposing the Beast: The Truth about Social Security ~ by Dene McGriff (2/06)

Description Pending...

Mother of all Deceptions ~ by Dene McGriff

The world economy is on the brink of collapse. The religious right and republican party is hesitant to give up power and may have already stolen two elections. Did the administration have a part in 9/11? How could the twin towers have come down is perfect demolition fashion? Would another terrorist event mean the end of democracy as we know it?

Recognizing Deception Chapter 8 --
The Economic Crash Has Begun ~ By Dene McGriff (9/17/2008)

The long anticipated crash has begun in earnest and will continue to unravel in the months ahead. How could this have happened? What should we do about it?

Recognizing Deception Chapter 9 --
Bailout or Heist of the Century? What Will Be the Consequences? ~ By Dene McGriff (9/25/2008)

The Bush administration is moving quickly, stirring up fear and trying to force through the greatest heist/bailout in the history of man. This is the second greatest power grab since the Patriot Act. What is going on? What are the consequences of this bailout?

Recognizing deception Chapter 10 --
After the Bailout …a happy landing? ~ By Dene McGriff (10/5/2008)

The Wall Street bailout is done, but the real damage has just begun as the government pours good money after bad. America has made the same mistake as Japan and many other countries faced with crisis – print your way out of it with new money.

Evangelism

Middle East Conflict

Judgment Day at the U.N. ~ by Doug Krieger (03/06)

Iran’s been referred to the UN Security Council: Behold the final throes of world bureaucracy at its infinite ineptitude. Folks, two to four weeks of sound and fury signifying nothing—and then all h-e-double toothpicks breaks out . . . somehow all this played out back in 2003—just change the “q” to an “n” and presto, Iraq = Iran, and you’ve won the game of world scrabble!

Gog-Magog - World War III ~ by Doug Krieger (9/04)

The fuse for the Gog-Magog War is set. The NATION OF ISLAM is, to Moslems, a “spiritual reality” – then it is time to say NO MORE. And while the Great Falling Away from the Faith continues unabated, the World of Islam is "spiritually mobilizing" for the Gog Magog War! So, having said all of this—we believe that the Lord's plan for His people is just as sure and predictable as the demise of the kingdoms of this earth.

The Gog-Magog Scenario ~ by Doug Krieger (1/05)

Gog is on the rise . . . the “Road to Damascus” is being paved with new alliances. This thing’s unraveling . . . what does the Bible say about it? Answer: One whole bunch! This series of articles is a MUST READ to stay on top of this . . . to know what’s coming down and when and what to do about it. Life may be going on as “normal” (“as in the days of Noah”) but we’ve got news for you . . . THAT’S A MYTH—just ask the G.I.’s in the Persian Gulf!

The Gog-Magog War: Hidden Treasures ~ by Doug Krieger (2/05)

All "Islamic Hell" is about to break loose. We're calling it just like IT IS! Remember, it was the Ottoman Turks who put the Sunnis in control of Iraq OVER 500 YEARS AGO . . . now, the "upstart USA" comes in and turns Turkey’s little theater of operations upside down! Alas! The KING OF BABYLON had become a BEAST! Watch closely as events unfold according to the prophetic Scripture.

Behold: The Prince of Persia!
Get Ready for War with Iran! ~ by Doug Krieger (07/05)

A witch’s brew: The mixture of religion and politics. That’s precisely what this article has done! Scott Ritter’s analysis that the US is technically at war with Iran (as we speak), and that this can be validated by the same preparations and activity prior to the Coalition of the Willing’s incursion into Iraq in early 2003, is ominous and, unfortunately, overall trustworthy. Our analysis confronts the majority opinion expressed by conservative Christians in the pursuit of the War on Terror against the “evil doers” . . . and why the “American Patriotic Church” is theologically resolute in its support for the Administration’s designs in the Middle East—the moral under girding in the Neo-Con implementation of Democratic Globalism is just about to be wildly tested, once again.

Non-Prophet Cartoons: Islam vs. the West ~ by Doug Krieger (02/06)

What once was America’s War on Terror is fast becoming Europe’s War on Cultural Intolerance. It is one thing for Bush to announce democracy’s extension into the Middle East as an expression of Western ideals—freedom, liberty, tolerance, ad nausea, ad infinitum—as a guise to buttress cheap oil prices and to further addict the world to the petrol-DOLLAR . . . it is quite another thing for Europe to rally its indifference, mediocrity and effete cultural pride to assail the Islamic hoards who, like the barbarians vs. the Roman Empire, now threaten to bring Europe to its effeminate knees and end her much-vaunted openness and age of tolerance!

Iran's day of infamy...
There's a Jackphant in the room! ~ by Doug Krieger (03/06)

Historicists are quick to point out that saber rattling is a biggie between and amongst belligerents prior to the outbreak of hostilities—to say the least: Witness Nazi Germany’s bombasts; and of late, the ever-outrageous remarks between Iran and the US-Israel Alliance. That’s why when it comes to diatribes, there’s nothing more audacious than lambasting Iran et al at the annual AIPAC (American-Israel Public Affairs Committee) meeting in early March, 2006—especially with Iran doing her amalgam of saber rattling back at you and in your face. Don’t worry about time running out—it already has! Any sanity left between the two—including the Euro-Russian-Chinese counterweight to the US-Israeli juggernaut—is absurd . . . there you go again, and I thought Iraq would have been a wakeup call to geo-political reality.

East is East & West is West...
The Ultimate Armageddon ~ by Doug Krieger (4/06)

One of the most fascinating “prophetic imperatives” in Holy Writ is the conclusive Battle or Campaign of Armageddon. It is here that East is pitted with West in a titanic struggle to the finish. Frank Sesno’s Avoiding Armageddon, and now in March, 2006, We Were Warned – Tomorrow’s Oil Crisis, envisions a horrendous struggle for the “hidden riches” (i.e., oil) with a burgeoning China—a China already scouring the earth for black gold. So Rudyard Kipling said so many years ago—“and never the twain shall meet”—but, alas, they shall, but then it will be too late!

The Elephant Roared and Brought forth a turd!!!
…A Case against Democratizing the Middle East ~ by Doug Krieger (07/05)

“Peace in the Middle East!” How sweet to our ears is this elusive possibility. Inhibiting all such prospects for lasting peace in the region is the outburst of nascent Islamism in its truest form—countered by the West’s drive to “democratize” Islamic states. Yes, all this spurred on by an alliance between a resurgent Patriotic Church and the neocons driving American foreign policy. To deny the religious components throughout the debate is to deny the past two thousand years of recorded history—or, for that matter, since history’s birth! For all the great ballyhoo greeting the latest flurry of peace initiatives (i.e., “The Elephant Roared”)—there abides angst within the world’s soul that, given the heart of man, the prospects for peace are stymied—if you would: politically constipated! Your read of this will provide a completely different perspective than what you normally find—you do well to consider what Dr. Aaron C. Miller, president of Seeds for Peace, calls “on the ground” realities when formulating peace policy in the Middle East!

Iran Next and Then What? ~ by Dene McGriff (06/07)

America and Israel are poised to use nuclear weapons on Iran. Iran continues to support Hezbollah and Hamas – radical Shiite Muslims that surround Israel and can attach her at will.

America as Babylon

The Real Babylon of the "Last Days" ~ by Doug Krieger (10/04)

America’s presence in Iraq is revealed as the real Babylon of the last days. A study of Daniel chapters 7-12 is done and the identity of the Antichrist is discussed at length. Suffice it to say—Antichrist is NOT Jewish as scores of fundamentalist evangelical Premillenarians claim: He is Greco-Roman, the leader of Western Civilization whose immediate kingdom dominates the other 10 Kingdoms of the end times!

The Agony of Defeat ~ by Doug Krieger (11/04)

Democrats mourn their loss. Prophetic Babylon rises like the Phoenix out of the ashes!

Bush's ports, Iran's Bourse & Messianic Bombings ~ by Doug Krieger (02/06)

This last week of February 2006 saw a national security boondoggle over the UAE-US port takeover; the sacred Shiite Al-Askari Shrine (where the “Hidden Imam” or Moslem Mahdi-Messiah abides) was blown up; and, the Iran-Hamas Financial Alliance was sealed—what a difference a week makes! Let us probe the significance of these interrelated sorties—for each plays an integral part in the apocalyptic drama unfolding before our eyes . . .

World Cup vs. World War?…
How the Romans Keep the Masses Entertained ~ by Doug Krieger

The World Cup of Soccer and Zinedine Zidane’s head butt of Italian Marco Materazzi presents one of earth’s greatest fetes of entertainment—classic of Roman (now that the Italians have won) Coliseum-style extravaganzas. Yes, the stuff that keeps the masses utterly distracted, while the international globalists and corptocracies continue to heap up riches off the backs of the impoverished of the earth—how entertaining! This article examines how the so-called “social issues” are akin to the “Roman Games” which distract—especially on the left-right talk shows, all the while the real contestants make off with the golden trophies.

“AS IS” ~ by David Brownlow (7/07)

Look closely, it is rare that we carry an article of this nature—rare that someone is willing to speak the truth AS IS without mincing words. But rare, as well, that mixed in with the hilarity of the article is the somber reality that American Empire is unable or unwilling to face the enormity of her crimes and misdemeanors as depicted in this tragic tome of despair—leaving but a fleeting exhortation to repentance and possible hope. You will reflect upon Dave Brownlow’s summation either with disgust or satisfaction that the truth, though glaringly shocking, is still ominously prescient in its cascading conclusions—America’s wont.

The American Empire

Of Greeks and Romans ~ by Doug Krieger (11/04)

Read about the parallels between militaristic, religious Rome (Pax Romana) vs. secular, effeminate Greece and militaristic, and religious United States (Pax Americana) vs. secular, godless United States culture elites.

Moving to Canada is a Joke ~ by Doug Krieger (9/05)

NorthCom, NORAD, NATO--all were and are attempts at integrating USA-Canadian and now Mexican militaries. NorthCom was the concoction of 9/11. NAFTA, CAFTA, and eventually FTAA do the same economically for all of North America. The integration of Canada and Mexico with the USA is now a foregone conclusion--it is the expression passion of the Council on Foreign Relations and her sister organizations in Canada and Mexico--so, it's absurd to think by moving to Canada one can escape the tentacles of Babylon the Great; utter nonsense indeed! So, just another reason why saying the Pledge of Alliance is a farce . . . "And to the Republic for which it stood."

The Rise or Fall of American Empire–Part 1 - GOD OF FORTRESSES ~ by Doug Krieger (5/7/07)

America’s empire building will not go away.

The Rise or Fall of American Empire–Part 2 - BYE-BYE BABYLON ~ by Doug Krieger (7/3/07)

America Evangelicals must terminate America.

The Rise or Fall of American Empire–Part 3 - RUMORS OF MY DEATH PERSIST ~ by Doug Krieger (7/15/07)

America’s no fantasy – though American Evangelicals think so . . .

The Rise or Fall of American Empire–Part 4 - WHY AMERICA MUST BE DESTROYED ~ by Doug Krieger (7/23/07)

Leading American Evangelicals propose the preposterous – America is NOT in Bible Prophecy.

The Rise or Fall of American Empire–Part 5 - PEACE & PROSPERITY AS DESTRUCTION & CORRUPTION ~ by Doug Krieger (7/27/07)

Spreading Peace & Prosperity – Precisely what Antichrist intends – but “Destruction & Corruption wait the unsuspecting.

The Rise or Fall of American Empire–Part 6 - GUARANTEE THE SECURITY OF THE STATE OF ISRAEL ~ by Doug Krieger (8/9/07)

American Evangelicals are divided – but it’s time to Secure Israel’s Peace.

The Rise or Fall of American Empire–Part 7- THE MONSTER vs. THE BEAST ~ by Doug Krieger (3/9/08)

Every four years we go through this ritual resembling “parry and thrust” like two fencers sparing with each other—or, more like throwing dirt clods in hopes one may hit the target object. This quadrennial’s legacy may one day find itself just as much in the religious record books, as in the political reports. Terms like “monster, beast, city of Satan, apostate, Antichrist” are being thrown about with ease and glee. Has American Empire peaked, waned or gotten a whole lot nastier? We’ll delve into these strange expressions; explore the determinations of one John Hagee and the implications of his endorsement of John McCain. How the “Monster” – Hillary Clinton – may view with delight why the Catholics think Hagee is the end-times Apostate. Coupled with all that—there’s always Hal Lindsey, Jack Kinsella (his sidekick), Jack Kelley and Rapture Ready, ready to take off at a moment’s notice, leaving the Antichrist to pay our debts. No wonder these guys don’t believe the Bible has anything to say about America in Bible prophecy—although some of them sound like their reconsidering that prospect. Man, has this gotten nuts or is it really Americana at its finest? There’s something in this read for everyone!

The Rise or Fall of American Empire – Merchants of Tarshish…
The Timing of Gog-Magog & the Oracle of Damascus Parts VIII & IX ~ by Doug Krieger (3/15/08)

Far too long have the Merchants and Ships of Tarshish been obscured from our prophetic radar. The time is altogether ripe for the exposure of the Merchants of the Earth and the source of their beginnings and current hideout—which is so altogether obvious that only the most blinded by greed and those made rich from her delicacies cannot see her for what she is: MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH! Embedded in these disclosures are some remarkable chronologies regarding Gog-Magog and the identity of sundry peoples engaged in the conflict – as well as illumination on the Oracle of Damascus—which Burden we are all about to bear. But, never mind, America is still not involved in prophecy—and neither do tornadoes strike the center of our largest cities – although Atlanta was hit by one here in mid-March, 2008.

The Rise or Fall of American Empire–Part 10 - DAMNING AMERICA ~ by Doug Krieger (3/26/08)

The 2008 Democratic contest has taken on an ugly debate over entrenched racial injustice as propounded by Barack Obama’s pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Previous sermons by Rev. Wright excoriate America, yea, DAMN her inexcusable racial past and carry that condemnation through to the present; blaming 9/11 on her indiscretions and suggesting America inflicted AIDS upon her black minority, as well as white elites blundering the “bodies and souls of men” – let alone blame her for inventing “three strikes” and thereby perpetuating slavery through her prison system. Oh, this thing’s getting down and dirty—talk about “shock and awe” – wait until you read this! Will America RISE or FALL in Chapter X – this may be the most pivotal of chapters in this series.

The Rise or Fall of American Empire–Part 11 -
FROM TALLINN IN THE BALTIC TO TBILISI IN THE CAUCASUS ….
A Velvet Curtain with an Iron Fist has descended across the Continent ~ by Doug Krieger (3-26-08)

The legacy of President George Walker Bush bespeaks of the deliberate military extension of America’s strategic umbrella over the whole of the European Continent—especially, over ALL of Eastern Europe and even the Caucasus. Bush’s recent escapades in Kiev, Bucharest, Zagreb and Sochi, Russia, are not the expressions of a blithering fool, but the calculated maneuverings of a diplomatic genius—USING America’s leadership over the NATO alliance to accomplish the veritable impossible: The capture of all of Eastern Europe under the American Eagle! Have we just witnessed the man on the white horse riding forth conquering and to conquer without firing a shot? What possible prophetic insights do we witness here—where is all this going? And, why, oh why, do the vast majority of American evangelical prophecy buffs utterly ignore America’s role in these doings and acclaim that Antichrist is wholly Euro-Centric and that America and her military might is exhausted by the tie Antichrist manifests himself – we’ve played the role of the fool and have not seen the rise of our Empire throughout the world, especially Europe!

The Rise or Fall of American Empire?
What's Next . . . for America? Part 12 ~ by Doug Krieger (4/29/08)

Our correspondence section is a rare find—many of you do not know this. Not only are there tidbits of News and Analysis of a prophetic note, but many segments dealing with apostasy and deception, testimonies of believers, economic analysis and, of course, confidential correspondence. From time to time we will “convert” a correspondence, or another “section piece” into a mainline article because of its importance and/or ability to fit into a series. So is “What’s Next . . . for America? – Part XII on our series: “The Rise or Fall of American Empire?” by Doug Krieger. A pastor here in America has been following our labors for over two years and somehow is still captured by what we’re sharing – just enough of you are, apparently, and that makes us highly motivated to write more. We don’t have a lot of “bells and whistles” on our site – just content, primarily delivered in graphic format to stimulate your interest in the content. What’s next in America considers the current political and religious landscape, as well as the horrendous economic implications taking place both here and throughout the world. Indeed, we center on current Middle Eastern affairs—this is one letter/correspondence you’ll want to cut and paste and send off to your friends!

Corptocracy or National Socialism
The Rise or Fall of American Empire? Chapter 13 ~ by Doug Krieger (5/13/08)

Outrage or praise from the floor of the Israeli Knesset greeted President George Walker Bush’s speech in mid-May, 2008. It intrigued me to see such vehement protest from Jews. Why? Because in the main the speech, celebrating Israel’s 60-years as a nation state, was uttered by someone whose familial fortunes were made off the backs of Jews, who in 1942 were imprisoned in death camps by a strange amalgamation of American-Nazi financial interests—interests recently discovered to have the imprimatur of Dubya’s grandfather marked all over them. Prescott Bush, former financier of I. G. Farben, one of Nazi Germany’s largest manufacturers of war armaments, continued to make a notable fortune off the Nazi war machine – even after Hitler declared war against the USA in December, 1941, up through November, 1942! How could this happen? And, worse yet, how could a foiled National Socialist-style take over of the American government by sundry financiers and other deluded American veterans and the like, actually happen? What was the former Senator from the great state of Connecticut, Prescott Bush, doing in this 1933 abortive attempt at American-style National Socialism? The American fascination with corporations and government collusion (a.k.a., National Socialism) is a scary and yet prophetic possibility—hardly to be considered a preposterous notion, since America’s romance with this ideology abides a dirty little secret that we’d just as well forget that it ever happened. Let’s get clever here – boiling the frog in the pan of water is much better than the shock treatment envisioned by Prescott and the Keystone Cops of yesteryear . . . remember, Rome once was a Republic before it became Imperial Rome and embraced dictatorship.

The Radical Center …So It’s Time to Rid Ourselves of Extremists!
The Rise or Fall of American Empire Chapter 14 ~ by Doug Krieger (6/5/08)

Clever is not my thing. But, I suspicion that it may be a “moderate” occurrence – and probably has a lot to do with Obama-McCain jettisoning the likes of the Revered Wright, Hagee and Parsley. You see, these extremists had better vamoose during a rather inclement political theater already polarized by the left and right in the American body politic. Enter: THE EVANGELICAL MANFESTO! Just what politicians need at this time of fratricide. This article brings us up close and personal with a resurgent “Centrist Evangelicalism” which has determined that “Right-wing Fundamentalists” have too long carried the day. It’s time to mount the Beast ourselves and rid us of this embarrassment once and for all during the Rise or Fall of American Empire.

O Jerusalem! Chapter 15
The Rise or Fall of American Empire? ~ by Doug Krieger (6/18/08)

Barack Obama, the Democrats choice for President, showed up at the annual (June 4, 2008) American Israel Public affairs Committee (AIPAC) meeting to dabble in the muddy waters of Jerusalem. The upshot of it all was and is a series of confusing statements, consternations, clarifications and ultimate disappointments with mixed suspicions as to just what is Barack Obama’s position on the status of Jerusalem. American politics is rife with who can amass the most boisterous support for Israel and for her capital, Jerusalem – but then pull back as Arab outrage slams ashore. Now, not to be outdone by the Obama-Hillary Express (and that’s what it looks like you’re going to get), John McCain swaggers into the fray and proclaims that it’s time for the US Embassy to move from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem posthaste! Ah, the Americans are at it again – just can’t get enough of the “tar baby.” There’s always someone wanting to achieve the great breakthrough for peace and prosperity in our time. This article delves into the ultimate focus of American Empire and how the nations of the world will, on that fateful day, arise against the Lord and against His Messiah, when they collude against Jerusalem.

Money - Politics & Power
Chapter 16
Rise or Fall of American Empire? ~ by Doug Krieger (6/23/08)

Elections are bought and sold at a preposterous price these days – it’s become quite the “industry.” “Sold: To the Highest Bidder” was the original title of this piece – but, then again, “Money, Politics and Power” carried the day. The recent announcement that Barack Obama would not take Public Funds, thereby limiting this quadrennial show of monetary prowess, set this tome in motion – but somehow it wandered off into the current state of financial duress traumatizing our housing and commodities industries both here and abroad. So all the while the Investment Bankers enflame the commodities futures, millions are getting the “serves them right – those greedy, would-be homeowners who should have known better in the first place.” This little ditty of an article will nauseate—it’s meant to do that, but doesn’t need much help given the current inflation-deflation-stagflation enveloping us. We’re headed for a train wreck or we’re determine to singing “Roll Out the Barrel” as our Titanic slides into the icy Atlantic of our invincibility—it’s too late to jump in the lifeboats—the divine option is our only recourse!

The Chickens have come home to roost
Part 17 -- Rise or Fall of American Empire? ~ by Doug Krieger (6/29/08)

American Empire is plagued with “monetary escapades” known as “economic bubbles” – bubbles which explode when they exceed their parameters. We are all witnesses and victims of these implosions—dot-com, savings and loan, real estate, stock market, commodities market, etc. The Almighty is NOT silent about those who lie in wait to accrue their abounding share of earth’s resources. You’ll find this aspect of Empire one of the most personal, because it’ll hit you right in your pocketbook. From the current Operation Malicious Mortgage conducted by the FBI, to German War Reparation Bonds and their relationship to the great rip-off of Native American Indian Trust Funds – no, this is not boring and affects us all.

King of Tyre
Part 18 -- Rise or Fall of American Empire? ~ by Doug Krieger (7-13-08)

Deciphering the financial implosions of some of America’s largest financial institutions has become a disturbing mix of unbelievable greed and calculated powers ready to grab vast swaths of America’s centers of wealth. The Fed is now, through its compliant brainchild’s cohort (i.e., the Treasury Department), concocted a brilliant subterfuge encapsulated within the “BLUEPRINT FOR A MODERNIZED FINANCIAL REGULATORY STRUCTURE” to subvert major pools of investment dollars, savings, credit unions, stock markets and even the insurance industry—everything of monetary worth is cascading into the black hole of the mysterious privately held Federal Reserve with the full blessing and backing of the US Congress, at the recommendation of the Department of the Treasury. The spiritual and prophetic implications of this entire disintegration stagger the thoughtful student of the Scriptures. The KING OF TYRE is a lengthy read—because it delves into both the prophetic Scriptures, as well as today’s financial upheavals with equal force. We call saint and sinner alike to understand the course of our age and to prepare for its inevitable conclusion – the Beast System in full fury – but beyond, the Celestial City Whose builder and marker is God!

News from the East and the North Shall Trouble Him
Part XIX
Rise or Fall of American Empire ~ by Doug Krieger (7/21/08)

Russia and China have had a complete about face – from “evil empire” and “red dragon” to piggy bank and life support system! Many times I’ve been asked how “Russia and China” fit into Bible Prophecy. Well, here’s your chance to find out. This may not be of interest to most Americans—but, then again, most Americans have no idea that one pot load of the American dream (mortgages) have been financed by the Central Banks of Russia and China. This aspect of “American Empire” – Rise or Fall – is, on the one hand, intensely eschatological in tone and content; but on the other hand, it’s so relevant that it’s downright scary. You’ll sink in the minutia of eschatological chronologies; however, you’ll spring back with how up to date the end-time scenario regarding Gog-Magog and its aftermath: “news from the east and the north will trouble him” really is

Some symbolism that the United States may fit into?
Part XX
Rise or Fall of American Empire ~ by Doug Krieger (7/28/08)

The Rise and Fall of American Empire has within its grasp those eschatologists – mostly American in origin – who eschew any notion that America herself could be she who mounts the Ten-Horned Beast from the Abyss of Revelation. An analysis of this phenomenon on the World-Wide-Web is of peculiar note. One is led to conclude that we Americans cannot “see the forest for the trees” – for we are too close to Babylon’s epicenter to know the distinctions which surround us on every side crying out that these ambiguities known by some as “wild imagination” are really overt symbols used by the Revelation and Hebrew prophets to describe us to a tee. An elaborate web designed to obfuscate America’s leading role in Babylon’s supremacy now taking on her dual role as King of Tyre – King of Babylon – appears in these Last Days to have accelerated – giving new meaning to words like ambiguous, compromised, intimidated, equivocating and indifference, and, tragically, FALSE PROPHETS. We approach the edge of the abyss and peer into her cup of putridity and view a freighting reflection: OURSELVES! Coming face to face with this stark reality – this awful discovery – can only be met with the unfettered love of God and the blood of the Lamb and by the word of our testimony via denial of what we see in that indignity. May the Lord grant us all insight beyond our timidity and our false hopes that earthly blessing in contrast to eternal worth bears no comparison – for we look for a City Whose builder and maker is God

Babylon on the Cheap
Part XXI
Rise or Fall of American Empire? ~ by Doug Krieger (8/5/08)

Babylon on the Cheap is an ongoing global phenomenon that accelerates during apparent downturns in American economic prowess. Nothing, absolutely nothing, must be spared in order to preserve the golden goose of the planet. The merchants of the earth have grown increasingly wealthy from trading with her—we spell out but a portion of that trade and the lengths she takes in order to perpetuate her commercial exploits. To deny America’s overwhelming role in this end time economic drama, amounts to a stark and ignorantly arrogant pursuit by most American evangelical prophets who refuse to come to terms with the descriptions of her opulence found in scores of Biblical passages. A child can guess the object by playing “20 questions” – but we are dumbfounded, after countless descriptions to discern of whom the Bible speaks about so clearly!

"The Rise or Fall of American Empire" Part 22 -
Russia has a Cameo Appearance in Bible Prophecy ~ by Doug Krieger (08/17/08)

Russia’s immediate reactions to Georgia’s annual ritual to subdue her breakaway provinces is considered by Western Europeans (“Old Europe”) to be a brilliant move in announcing her disgust toward the USA and America’s overreach into her former satellites—ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! Alas! Georgia’s apparent stupidity was calculated—and Eastern Europe’s reaction is predictable. But, most predictable, is America’s response: Full integration of Ukraine, Georgia, and the rest of Eastern Europe and the Caucasus into NATO, posthaste. The eschatological implications of what’s going on here are, of course, most fascinating, and should tell us all, that “things are not always what they appear to be!” Antichrist is as much on the move as Gog-Magog is—for their source is the same.

"The Rise or fall of American Empire?" Part 23 -
Greco-Roman Man and the War Economy ~ by Doug Krieger (9/7/08)

Empire cannot be sustained nor perpetrated without resources – Rome discovered this; however, with more and more of the Empire’s coffers exposed to the immediate needs of its citizenry and infrastructure, a multitude of ways were discovered in which the military subsumed and justified the Roman budget…the same is happening in America. It would fascinate if the scribes could discover a casual relationship between America’s military budgetary deceits and that of Rome’s. Squandering up to $3 Trillion “somewhere out there” sounds preposterous—but the evidence condemning this monstrous monetary manipulation is overwhelming. Governing by fiat decree has reached its apex. Never have so many resources in the hands of so few been flushed down the cesspool of military conquest upon this earthly clod. The original title of this persuasion was “Of Greeks and Romans” – for Western Man’s ascendancy has reached its superlative expression in these United States of America where money and power march to the tune of the same drummer who made antiquity’s “fourth empire” more terrible than all the rest and is determined to sustain that endeavor in a most phantasmagoric expression known as PAX AMERICANA.

The Economic, Military, and Social Integration of North America
Part 24 of Rise or Fall of American Empire? ~ by Doug Krieger (date)

Empire has its dark side—make no doubt about it. But, this tale of Empire has within it “among whom you shine as lights in the darkness.” Jack Hook’s article is a mandatory read – a conflicting encouragement born of honor in the midst of Empire’s rampage. This is all the more amazing as America’s first combat brigade is stationed in the homeland this Oct. 1, 2008, preparing for an inevitable militarization of our civilian law enforcement…these are astounding times of financial duress on the horizon…wars and rumors of wars with famine make the “footsteps of the Messiah” all the more audible, all the more urgent for us all to prepare for His coming again.

National Global Socialism …led by Babylon the Great
Part XXVI The Rise or Fall of American Empire? ~ by Doug Krieger (10/11/08)

We face the globalization of the world banking system – orchestrated by the King of Tyre himself, Babylon the Great, the United States of America through his compatriots, the G7 and G20. With artful wisdom and understanding the world’s financial aspirations, led by the world’s conspicuous consumer nation herself, the USA, is about to pull off – be it conspiracy or stumbling fools – the greatest heist the world has ever witnessed. This is a prophetic rant of what we will inevitably face – for the day comes when we shall neither “buy nor sell” without he MARK OF THE BEAST!

Israel

Israel's Temple Sacrifice and the Abomination of Desolation ~ by Doug Krieger (11/07)

This article will take you deep into chronologies—but deeper still into the spiritual dimension of why these dates and times—why these feast days, which seem so removed from the prophetic picture—are so intimately involved at the “end of the days.” We do not know the “day nor the hour” but we are urged to know the “signs of the times.” The Day of Atonement, Passover, The Feast of Tabernacles, The Festival of Lights (Rededication) and The Feast of Trumpets and their original Jewish designations—all come into play: Yom Kippur, Pesach, Sukkot, Hanukkah, and Rosh Hashanah.

The Messianic Scenario ~ by Douglas Shearer (1988)

Modern Israel's materiality/existence poses a "theological crisis" within Christendom...she is either the precursor of the coming Messiah or a counterfeit intrusion in history. The Church is forced to take a stand...embrace the "Messianic Scenario" or reject it outright...there is NO middle ground!

“We will not permit the Devil to govern our destiny”
- Shimon Peres, Israel’s Deputy Prime Minister ~ by Doug Krieger (6/06)

The Arab-Israeli War—now in its sixth major protrusion (Summer, 2006)—presents a cast of nations each calling the other THE DEVIL, AXIS OF EVIL, THE GREAT SATAN, LITTLE SATAN, AND THE MIDDLE-SIZE SATAN. Never have wars and rumors of wars ever been fought with a more “satanic tone.” Rest assured, believer or non, the Evil One lurks beneath the rise of the Prince of Persia, the Prince of Grecia, and the Willful King, who shall annihilate many. Yes, the cast of nation-characters are so enumerated and described in this missive; however, behind them all—yes, ALL, there is the Master of Deceit, manipulating the nations, like marionettes, of this evil cosmos.

Israel must be wiped off the map...
Origins of Treasongate ~ by Doug Krieger (11/05)

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, President of Iran, this week (end of October, 2005) boldly declared that Israel should be "wiped off the map!" Next, Syria's President Bashir al-Assad's brother and brother-in-law have been implicated in the assassination of Lebanon's former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri. Indeed, President Bush declared both Syria and Iran the AXIS OF EVIL and blatantly and repeatedly declares that we can no longer tolerate their governments-all options, as Condi Rice states, are "on the table." Meanwhile, "treasongate" runs rampant. Is this "thing" ever going to end? How did it get started and when will the Syrian, then the Iranian, cards drop? It's going to get real difficult, if not impossible, to sit this one out-you're going to have to take a side, sooner or later! That's what many American Jews and Christians have had to do-read the rest of the story . . . then face the valley of your decision, you've got lots of company.

Israel and the Church as the Two Witnesses of Revelation 11 and Daniel 12 ~ by Doug Krieger (05/05)

At last, a theological treatise on the identification of the Two Witnesses of Revelation 11 and Daniel 12. Initially, this "paper" was submitted to the Judeo-Christian Conference on the "Messiah" scheduled to be held in Virginia Beach, VA (cir. 2005). The paper is not easy reading, but solid theology which demands a reappraisal of how an "end of days" engagement and/or "testimony" from both evangelical and Jewish communities shall manifest itself before the "heavens and the earth" at the "end of days."

Triumphant Testimony ~ by Doug Krieger (11/04)

The entire thrust of the Book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ--virtually in every single chapter of that book--speaks of the TRIUMPHANT TESTIMONY of God's people--both the Church and Israel--to come forward throughout our history and most definitely at the close of this age. It is this "testimony" that commends our faith and establishes us in His grace. The word "testimony" in the Greek comes from the same root word we interpret into English as MARTYR.

The Glories that should follow ~ by Doug Krieger (05/05)

A letter sent to Dr. Spargimino at Southwest Radio Church regarding a conversation with Dr. Barry Leventhal regarding the "Church in Prophecy" relative to Peter's insights regarding "The glories that would follow." If the "sufferings of Christ" were foretold, is not the "glory in the Church" likewise foreseen?

The Testimony of Jesus ~ by Doug Krieger (11/04)

To deny one’s self means to identify with the Lord Jesus in His testimony—His death—His overcoming life. The very testimony of Jesus must become our testimony. Links to Internet sites that discuss current Christians who are being persecuted and killed for their testimony.

Flee or Testify? ~ by Dene McGriff (11/04)

We are not called to flee, but to testify. The Christian Church along with Israel is called upon to testify in the great city for the Lord during the last three and a half years of the Great Tribulation.

Historicists and Futurists Must Unite ~ by Doug Krieger (9/05)

There are several major schools of Bible prophecy which dominate Biblicists today--futurism (akin to the "Left Behind" series) and historicism (most Preterists and vast segments of evangelicalism which affirm that the Antichrist is the Holy See, the Papacy in its entirety). Although Preterists (who believe most Bible prophecy was fulfilled in the Revelation by 100 A.D. are prevalent amongst evangelicals, their erstwhile historicists who manage to differentiate a wide variety of historical happenings throughout the Church Age as being fulfilled (as well, but mostly after 100 A.D. to the present), are in stiff "eschatological competition" with futurists who hold to some of the evolving historicist methodology but differ in that the prophetic time table is generously weighted to the "yet future." Notwithstanding these difference, events have overtaken us--it is time for an "eschatological reassessment"--we must unite, for the time is short and sooner, more than later, we will all be called to testify!

Bush's bold peace initiative... Israel after Sharon ~ by Doug Krieger (1/06)

The colossus of Israel’s Center-Right is no more. Sharon’s cerebral hemorrhage, induced coma, and declared departure from Israel’s political life have created a grave and vacuous ability for Israel to carry on viable negotiations with either the Palestinians or other belligerents. Isn’t it time for someone to take charge of the “peace process” in Israel—but who? Therein lies the rub . . . President Bush is about to make his bold move to “secure the peace” – even more so, to secure the elusive “comprehensive peace settlement that never seems to come.” You’re watching leadership in action here—you’d be surprised how this will play out in he months ahead. Yep—that little Road Map to Peace is on the table—once again!

What is a Jew ~ by Dene McGriff (10/07)

What is a Jew? This controversial subject rages among Christians and Jews and is pivotal to understanding last days prophecy. Are Jews really Jews? Have they been disinherited and replaced by real Christians?

Antichrist/Beast

US-Israel Strategic Alliance

Part 1 - Your Covenant with Death ~ by Doug Krieger (12/05)

If Israel were attacked, it would be the same as an attack on the USA—this is the essence of a DEFENSE PACT between Israel and the USA. Israel’s security would be underwritten by the United States of America; and, the commencement of that ultimate security—the quest of numerous US Presidents and Israeli leaders—would at last be actualized. Now, in Washington, D.C., for the first time since 2002, Israeli and American diplomats and military personnel earnestly endeavor to address Iran’s threat of WMD, and the mutual persistence of terror against both nations (December 2005). What awful contemplation: Is this the final deception spoken of by Daniel the Prophet and Isaiah: Your Covenant with Death – Your Agreement with Hell?

Part 2 - He will confirm a covenant with many ~ by Doug Krieger (12/05)

“Strategic Dialogue” talks between the U.S. and Israel—were commenced in earnest at the end of November, 2005 (U.S. State Dept. Bulletin). These “talks” are propelled to their inevitable conclusion (i.e., the U.S.-ISRAEL DEFENSE PACT/TREATY) by Iran’s preposterous charges this past week: No Jewish Holocaust under Hitler; Israel is a “Zionist-European Tumor” which, ipso facto, should be excised from the Middle East and transplanted into Germany-Austria; and, “no, we’re not making a Weapon of Mass Destruction, even though ‘Israel must be wiped off the map!”

Part 3 - He will also invade the beautiful land ~ by Doug Krieger (01/06)

The U.S.-Israel Strategic Alliance has reached critical mass—President Bush’s “Strategy for Victory” inevitably demands the special relationship’s strategic imperative: The U.S.-ISRAEL DEFENSE PACT. The President, more than any other Chief Executive, since Truman recognized the Jewish State in 1948, is flaunting the U.S.-Israel “pact” to wipe out terrorism. The Neocon-Evangelical-Zionist Alliance cries out: An attack on Israel is an attack on the USA! Moslems see him as the modern-day Crusader-Invader whose dogged determination is religiously inspired . . . just as theirs is a Jihad against the infidels! His poll numbers rapidly climb (January 1, 2006)—as the Commander-in-Chief decries the heretics of Islam, identifies the likes of Osama bin Laden and Abu Musab al Zarkawi with Hitler and Stalin, and demands nothing less than “complete victory” over the enemies of freedom. Just as Nazism and Communism were defeated—we must, we shall, we will win this war against these evil doers—SO HELP US GOD!

Part 4 - The Prince of the Covenant ~ by Doug Krieger (01/06)

The U.S.-Israel Strategic Alliance—no matter what setbacks—is alive, well and proceeding to its logical conclusion: The U.S.-Israel Defense Pact. Iran’s determination to resuscitate its nuclear program; the Sharon “X-Factor”—i.e., Israel after Sharon; and the incessant insurgency in Iraq, along with increasing agitation from Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah and other belligerents, have all converged to create the perfect geopolitical storm. We await the unprecedented admission that Israel and the USA will no longer regard as politically embarrassing nor strategically ill-advised vis-à-vis the Arab world to openly declare a comprehensive “peace accord” guaranteeing Israel’s security—once and for all!

Resistance is Futile
I saw a Beast rising up out of the Sea ~ by Doug Krieger (03/06)

US National Security Advisor, Stephen J. Hadley, releases the “National Security Strategy of the United States” on March 16, 2006—heralding America’s Weltanschauung for the Twenty-First Century. Now, the cry goes up for EFFECTIVE DEMOCRACIES—accomplished by the formalization of the 2002 Bush Doctrine of unilateral, pre-emptive wars of national interest. As in Star Treks’ BORG: Resistance—be it Sino-Russia, Syrian-Iranian, and now Latin American—is futile!

Adolph Hitler and the Theocratic State--
A Lesson on the Christian Right ~ by Doug Krieger (9/04)

To understand the appeal, the absolute, mesmerizing, and intoxicating drive behind Hitler's success, one must go beyond the inequities of the Versailles Treaty and delve into the mysterious association that Herr Hitler placed upon the Christian religion. Don't think that Adolph was way off into some cultic, overtly demonic world of fantasy and influence. He both understood the need to mobilize the masses and the religion that alone could sway their fidelity to his cause.

The Antichrist is Coming ~ by Doug Krieger (11/04)

The denial that Jesus Christ is "come in the flesh" is, according to John's First Epistle, definitely the manifestation of the "spirit of antichrist." "Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son" (I John 2:22). Yet, today, prior to the Lord's Second Advent, that same spirit of Antichrist--who could not defeat Him in His First Coming--seeks to spread a new and foreboding heresy: There is no Antichrist--THE Antichrist will not come!

Reflections on the Antichrist

The Antichrist is not a Jew, the Pope, Islam nor a joke
(Part I) ~ by Doug Krieger (02/06)

The Antichrist is not a Jew! Don’t listen to Jerry Falwell, Barbara Aho, Arthur W Pink, J. N. Darby, ancient Catholic Church teaching, and, in particular, Radical Islam—virtually all embrace the notion Antichrist is a Jew, and, worse yet, evangelicals like Aho announce his discovery using the utterly discredited Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion as their New Age compass; the same document disseminated by the Theosophical Society of Madame Blavatsky that inspired the Czar, Hitler and today’s Arabic-Moslem TV of Egypt!

The Antichrist is not a Jew, the Pope, or a Joke
Part II ~ by Doug Krieger (04/06)

Part II in the series of Antichrist’s identity lingers on the discussion of: The Antichrist is NOT A JEW. The early church, Islam, and even evangelical Christianity have targeted the Antichrist as a Jew (Jerry Falwell’s gaff being one of the latest). But the origins of a latter day Jewish Antichrist have a fascination that is apparently rooted in Scripture—so they say, and so they distort! Islam’s Dajjal (Antichrist) will be killed just outside of Israel’s Lod Airport! The Tribe of Dan is the early Church father Hippolytus’ most likely receptacle of Antichrist’s origins . . . and, so it goes . . . you’ll understand why there’s such hatred toward the Jew by studying how the other monotheistic religions incriminate the most ancient of their threesome—and why they’re all wet!

The Antichrist is not the Pope...A System, nor Totality of Babylon the Great!
Part III ~ by Doug Krieger (04/06)

The Papacy is the Antichrist—the Pope is the Antichrist! This was, and still is in many parts the cry of the Protestant Reformation. The Holy See may be many things, including a False Prophet—but it is NOT the Antichrist. The notion that Antichrist is a “system” – not a person yet future – is an erroneous concept which never was the prophetic belief of the Early Church—no historic revisionism can prove otherwise. Roman Catholic alleged attempts to deflect Protestant wrath away from the Holy See is also unfounded—though it appears some have thought it so. Evangelicals, like Dave Hunt, see the Roman Church as the sum and substance of Babylon the Great—he too is off the map.

Islam is not the Antichrist - Part IV ~ by Doug Krieger (04/06)

Islam is not the Antichrist nor the system of Antichrist—as much as some wish it were! The coming Antichrist is not domiciled in Islam. Notwithstanding, ask Israel who’s the modern-day Haman, and they’ll tell you: Islam is the Antichrist! The history of the Church, now Israel (and once again the “Crusader Church”) attests to Islam as the Antichrist. This article traces the history of this “doctrine” and its erroneous conclusions—and why today’s Jewish-Christian alliance is determined to ascribe the title of “Antichrist” to the religion of Islam! “The People of the Book” vs. Mohammed is His Prophet—THIS is today’s conflict!

Antichrist is not a New Age Joke - Part V ~ by Doug Krieger (04/06)

Antichrist is not a New Age Joke—although many feel it’s a precursor and/or the fertile ground for producing the final fiend! New Age is really not something new—it’s really ageless: “You shall be as god, knowing good and evil.” That original lie abounds within its most recent intrusion when the world got fed up with the linear nature of scientific observation without any spiritual inclination. This is an overview of that phenomenon—tracing Spiritism’s march to Shirley MacLaine, from the likes of Blavatsky’s Theosophical Society to the “Seduction of Christianity” and the “Hidden Dangers of the Rainbow.” You’d be surprised who thinks the New Age will produce the final Antichrist—notwithstanding its capabilities, the Antichrist is still no New Age Joke!

DaVinci Code – Deciphering the Antichrist
Dan Brown’s Hidden Agenda ~ by Doug Krieger (05/06)

The DaVinci Code of Dan Brown belies a hidden agenda – the ultimate Antichrist. Yes, the Priory of Sion, that fulcrum of conspiratorial progenitors, houses the Jewish bloodline of Magdalene-Jesus, the crypto-Catholics, who assail from the Merovingian Kings – and, who now embody the likes of Pierre Plantard, under the protection of Freemasonry and Opus Dei, give ultimate birth to the Euro-Centric Roman Prince: THE ANTICHRIST! This tangled web is not only woven by secularists like Brown, but pseudo evangelical cyberists like Barbara Aho whose convolutions are mind-numbing, to say the least. The Brown-Aho Axis of conspiratorial subterfuge entertains and entwines the simple-minded . . . this is a must read, if you’re a conspiracy chaser.

Javier Solana . . .
The Evident Spokesman for the World ~ by Doug Krieger (06/06)

Constance Cumbey and Herb Peters—both Americans—share an eschatological passion for Javier Solana, the EU’s Foreign Policy Chief and its High Representative for the Common Foreign and Security Policy branch. This article is dedicated to exposing the false and spurious Euro-Centric Antichrist! Both Cumbey and Peters are in pursuit of the Antichrist’s identity. Though they never say this is the Man of Sin, they do everything in their prophetical grab bag to isolate the disease to this unlikely suspect—spending inordinate time and apparent energy to convince us that Antichrists are most likely found in Western Europe. From whence does this notion derive? Answer: From Nineteenth Century British monarchists and Plymouth Brethren who initially espoused this notion. Notwithstanding the “Fullness of Western Civilization” is domiciled in the USA—the ELEPHANT in the picture (for those who can’t see it)—the Euro-Centric Antichrist is NOT even a remote possibility! The confident tone has outraged many who believe I have a “malicious” mindset toward these dear brethren—I don’t, I just can’t stand ignorance!

The Antichrist -Who is able to make war with him
(Revelation 13:4) ~ by Doug Krieger (06/06)

This is an unfair and lively dialogue between Peter and Doug Krieger. It rambles all over the prophetic map—but, in sum, Peter views the military ineptitude of the USA (witness the Iraq War) juxtaposed to an ascendant Islam (which is the real Antichrist of the Last Days) as a stark course in real politik. Doug unilaterally destroys Peter’s argument—he has no defense and purposefully so because Krieger is out to disembowel Peter’s theses, and simply will not allow him a chance to defend himself (Note: This is NOT a forum!). It’s a shame that deception is normally rife with a bunch of anti-Semitic claptrap, but it normally is; thence, Peter’s version won’t disappoint you.
