The following is a scenario which I feel will be similar to future events soon to take place right here on Planet Earth. I have come to these conclusions by using the Bible, history and the Holy Spirit of God, whom I feel, has given me these insights. I hope that you enjoy reading this work and that it will be thought provoking to many people. So, shut off the TV, pull up a nice chair and read.

Even as I write this work it seems like the world if fragmented almost beyond belief. The United States has all but ceased to be a sovereign nation. President Clinton and Congress have sold us out to the world government by enacting NAFTA and GATT, and it seems that the United Nations is policing every nation except our own, at least right now. The world is on the brink of monetary collapse as evidenced by the Far East stock market crash. It seems like every nation is asking the United States for some sort of bailout when we can't even take care of our own problems. Powers in the Middle East are stirring up problems that might bring the world to chaos. Faith has waned over the years and people have become unscrupulous. Presidents and rulers are not moral icons anymore and many are caught in scandals, from promiscuity to fraud to murder. It's not a nice world anymore, is it?

Someday soon you will turn on the news and hear about more monetary problems around the world. The problem will probably be initiated by some sort of Attack on the United States and will cripple her monetary system, causing a monetary crisis and stock market crash. The United States will not stand idle and will involver herself in an attack against this sort of terror. She will form a coalition to fight the terrorists, but will do most of the fighting. She will exhaust herself in this struggle, trying to fight the terror both at home and abroad. 

The anti-terror coalition will go after all states it deems terrorist or terrorist supporting states. Israel, who has suffered much from terrorism will himself be labeled a terrorist state, by way of accusations made by the Islamic world. The very terrorists that he has fought for so many years will be labeled to be those oppressed by Israel. It is possible that Israel will move against the Palestinians in self defense, but it will be called an act of terror. The coalition which will contain many Arab states will raise a cry that Israel must be dealt with for her supposed crimes. The Islamic nations that are in the coalition will still support terrorism against Israel, but because they are on the coalition, their crimes will be ignored.

The United States will be a part of the coalition, and will be forced to participate in the action that the coalition takes against Israel. It will seem like the world is united against Israel and the Islamic nations and Russia will offer to deal with what they will perceive as an arrogant Israel. Israel will not back down because he will be fighting for his very survival. The nations of North Africa, Turkey, some nations of Europe, Iran and Iraq, Syria, Ethiopia, and possibly Jordan will attack Israel at once, from all direction.

When it appears that Israel will be destroyed, God will rain down fire on Russian and her allies, and also the United States. It's unclear if this will be a nuclear exchange or not, but it will be a direct intervention by God himself. Because Satan is a fraud and opportunist, he will produce a man who will take credit for the miracle that just happened in Israel. He will appear to come very fast in the sky. After all, the real Jesus said that is how he would return. I believe that he will come in what appears to be a flying saucer, brought to earth by his emissaries the demonic hordes. This man will be a false Christ but will fool the world with his perceived goodness. At first he will step into the war problem and force a peace between the Arabs and Israelis. Then he will do the same between the Russians and Americans. He will then sign a special pact with Israel, to protect him and guard his borders. This signing will start what the Bible calls the great tribulation.

This man will seem to be the answer to all of the world's problems. He will initiate a very heavy taxing system and people will pay it in order to come out of the depression. The world will idolize this man for the good things that he did for them. If he does do something that some perceive wrong, he will be able to explain it away easily and the world will follow because of their gratitude.

The Beast (whom he shall be called from this time forth in this text) will acquire a close confidant who will be able to perform miraculous powers. He will be the false prophet. He will be much like John the Baptist was to Jesus, except with the powers. Together they will deceive the world.

The Beast will have at his disposal hordes of demons (i.e. Aliens) that will roam the earth keeping him abreast of dissenters and malcontents. It will be very hard to hide from the beast. This will be how he performs some of his wonders. He will appear to know everything that is happening on earth at the same time. It is quite possible that the demons will inhabit bodies of humanoid creatures, perhaps even mock humans that they have created especially for this great deception.

At one point, someone will decide that the beast really is the anti-Christ and will formulate a plan to kill him. This person will injure the Beast in the head and he will die. After a period, probably three days, he will miraculously come back to life. This will imitate Jesus' death and resurrection. When he comes back to life he will actually be possessed, probably by Satan himself and he will show wrath against Christians and anyone else who resists him.

He will want the world to worship him but will not want to demand it right away because many would suspect something and resist. He will divide the world into 10 regions or kingdoms and will rule over the ten first from Europe, then from Jerusalem. He will take the worlds monetary funds and combine them into one fund. There will be a one-world currency and by this time there will be no cash handed between transactions. The Beast will inform everyone that in order to show their allegiance to him and the New World Order, they should have his mark placed on their right hand or forehead. After all, he did appear to save the world from chaos. This mark will somehow have the number 666 associated with it. This will go on for a while until it becomes mandatory. After it becomes mandatory there will be bad times for anyone who doesn't take the beast's mark. They will not be able to buy food, clothes or anything. Many will starve and die because they didn't take the mark. After a while the Beast will have armies of people who will hunt down those who refused the mark and they will be tortured and kill by all manners of evil, but the most popular manner of execution will be by beheading. Those who resist the beast will be labeled terrorists.

The second (and last) 3.5 years of the Beasts' reign will be a terrible time on Earth. There will be a variety of plagues, earth and weather disturbances and celestial events. One can read about them in the Book of Revelation. People will beg God to kill them but He will not listen to them and they will curse Him all the more.

At about the 3.5-year mark the Beast will set himself up in the Jewish temple in Jerusalem and will proclaim himself to be god, and demand that everyone (especially the Jews) worship him. At this point the eyes of the Jews will be opened and they will refuse. They will flee from Jerusalem by way of the rift that was created by a great earthquake. The earthquake will split Jerusalem's mountain in two, allowing them to escape. They will hide in the desert to the east. Many believe that they will hide near Petra, an ancient city in the Jordanian Desert.

After the three and a half years are over Jesus will return and fight the battle of Armageddon, where He will slay His enemies with the words from His mouth. He will then bind the Beast and False Prophet and send them to a lake of fire that was prepared just for them, Satan and the demons.

Please understand that there is a lot more to the story. It is encapsulated here to save time and space. Want to know how it ends, read the rest for yourself. It's pleasing, I promise you.

Note: Modern Christianity (especially Pentecostals and Charismatics) believes in something called the Rapture. Basically, this is an event when Jesus Himself will descend with a shout and call all believers, living and dead to Himself. Those who believe this fall into three groups as listed below:

• Pre-Tribulation Rapture - Believe that Jesus will call home His Church before everything hits the fan, before the 7 years of the Beast's reign.
  
• Mid-Tribulation Rapture - Believe that Jesus will call home His Church after the first 3.5 years and before everything hits the fan.
  
• Post Tribulation Rapture - Believe that Jesus will call His Church home after the Tribulation Period is over and His Church is purified through persecution.
  

This author tends to lean toward the second theory. I know that the event will happen but the Bible is not clear as to when it will happen.

Note #2:  Scholars believe that there will be two groups of Christians.

• The first will be taken in the Rapture.
  
• The second will live through the Tribulation. These will be the believers who found their salvation through Jesus after the first group is gone. You know, the people who have to learn the hard way.

So, there is my little story concerning the role of demons (i.e. Aliens) in the future history of mankind. I really don't see them doing much during the actual 7 year period, but they play an active role in getting mankind ready for the Tribulation Period. Here's how:

• Making people believe that there is intelligence on other worlds makes God insignificant.
  
• Belief in aliens makes people question if God is actually just another spaceman.
  
• The Alien "New Age Connection" is in direct conflict with God's word. They come with false hopes of love, peace and happiness which acts as bait for non-suspecting mankind. They promote humanism and any religion that neglects accountability. Christianity, Judaism and Islam don't fall into their agenda.
  
• Most people lack faith and believe in something that they can see rather someone they can't see.
  
• Aliens claim that they are here to save mankind, trying to take the role of Savior away from Jesus and placing it on themselves.
  
• Aliens offer a quick fix, which is what Anti-Christ will do when he is finally revealed.
  
• Thoughts of an Alien threat from outside would unite the world. Just watch "Independence Day".

I end this page with two stern warnings:

Don't fool around with things you know nothing about.

If it looks too good to be true, it probably is.
