SIGNS OF THE END 

Almost in every one of my newsletters I point out signs of the times, as I have also done in my book on The Unchangeable Calendar of G-d. When the Lord spoke of the signs of the end He used the image of vultures circling over a body. For when from afar one sees vultures circling, it is certain that a body is beneath, even if it cannot be seen. Just so can we be certain of His Coming being at hand, when we see an accumulation of end-time signs “circling”. 

A “strange” thing happened recently in Israel: without prior warning, threatening black clouds discharged a massive hail the size of ping-pong balls which, driven by fierce winds, literally “threshed” everything in its path from Beer-Sheva to Eilat. Trees, fields, and flowers were beaten barren; windows and rooftop solar boilers smashed; and houses, cars, and shutters riddled with holes and dents as by bullets. In minutes a several inches deep layer of ice covered the ground and heavy rain turned the wadis of the Arava into wild raging, icy torrents sweeping away whatever was in its path, man or beast. 

Then I understood the image given in Isaiah 28, of “hail sweeping away the refuge of lies, and waters overwhelming the shelter.” I remember how theYitzhak Rabin government scoffed at those who trust in G-d’s Word, covenant and promises, while they made lies their refuge and falsehood their shelter. Because signing an agreement with Yasser Arafat is an agreement with Sheol, and a covenant with death. And just as this hail swept away in minutes what man had made and planted, so will massive troubles hitting as hard as bullets strike unexpectedly, and sweep away this refuge of lies called “Oslo I & II”. The “land for peace” agreements are built upon falsehood and not on G-d’s promises. Some day in the future, Israel’s enemies will rush without prior warning like a raging flood upon her and overwhelm this flimsy shelter of a false peace²¹. 

Another warning signal of the soon coming days of wrath are the worldwide effects of a weather condition known as “El Ninjo”. As always, the explanation by the secular media and “experts” of these natural disasters exludes G-d. Apparently the Creator of the heavens and the earth - in their minds - works “magic” by unnatural means. That He might use the things He created, and the laws on which He founded them, to send warning signals and execute judgment, seems a rationalization to them typical for “right-wing extremists”, as they label now those who believe and trust in G-d’s promises. However, Scriptures tell us that winds, hail, fire, rain, lightning and thunder are the Lord’s “servants” who carry out His command²². In Revelation 7:1 four angels are holding back the four winds of the earth, that no wind may blow on earth or sea. Just so G-d apparently held back the wind that moves cooler waters into the warmed up waters of the Pacific. Yet men refuse to see the finger of G-d, whose mere witholding of a certain wind produced world-wide catastrophes, and be warned. They only see what they call the unpredictable caprices of “mother nature”. It escapes them that the phenomenon of global floods, fires, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are warning signals from G-d of worse things yet to come if men will not turn from their corruption, immorality and evil deeds. 

Oh, how urgently the world needs G-d’s messengers of warning, faithful to the truth. But the glory of TV evangelists, U and the splendor and exitement of their “shows” has blinded many eyes and deafened many ears to G-d’s end-time messengers. When finally the Two Witnesses shall come with more forceful warnings, they will be hated by all except for those who rather hate lies and falsehood, but love the truth. 

To the many signs already evident another one will soon be added: Egypt’s fall into the hands of Islamic fanatics, the outbreak of civil war, the flight of many Egyptians into exile, and the drying up of the Nile. The fulfillment of Isaiah 19 is on the threshold, G-d judging this nation for her treachery against Israel. But after having made Egypt the lowliest of nations she shall be saved, and become a blessing in the earth along with Israel and Assyria²³. 

Dear friends of Or Tzion, I am in desperate need of helpers! The work load has become more than I alone can handle. My four manuscripts, all edited, and most of my publications need retyping on computers current with today’s standards. My many casette tapes need labeling, sorting and filing, and so does the mass of my research material. Many of my letters, publications and tapes need printing, copying, and dubbing. I hardly find time to do any of these things by having to attend to more immediate matters. I have not been able to continue my Revelation Series, or follow up on my Genealogical findings and contacts. My days are 18 hour-days or more, and I can’t continue like this --- I need  your prayers for the Lord to send me skilled, faithful and reliable helpers! 

Now may the Lord bless you with this newsletter as He has with the last one, according to the many letters of appreciation I received. I happily recount the Lord’s miracles, great and small, for your encouragement and strengthening of faith. 

 Yours in Him,
