Dear Friend,

The choice of whether or not to read this message all the way

through may have important consequences for you as the events

of our immediate future unfold. This is being done solely for

the benefit of others so that people may understand what to do

about the times now approaching humanity. What I’m about to

explain will strike many people as ridiculous, because this kind

of thing has been predicted over and over again and people are

not inclined to take things like this seriously. I am not your

average tabloid psychic. In fact, I’m not a psychic at all. I

am what could be called a modern day seer, but I prefer to be

thought of as just a human being with an important message.

I have studied prophecy and the techniques used to produce it

for many years now. Through a combination of my own findings,

the prophecies of Nostradamus, the prophecies given by Jesus

and the prophet Daniel, I have figured out the future of

humanity. As stated above in the disclaimer, the reader’s

belief in what I say is not necessary at this point.

This message has been written over and over again since I

first set out to do this. In previous versions, I have tried to

describe what will cause the rough times to come… but everyone

is pretty much aware of the world’s problems and they don’t

really need to have it all pointed out to them. Besides, it

makes the message unnecessarily long. I have therefore decided

to re-write this once again and limit myself to only listing the

events to come and explaining what everyone can do to save

themselves from destruction. What is about to happen in the

world will be unfair to all of us and people will need to know

the way out. The end times are upon us now, and the time has

come for the way out to be explained more clearly. I feel that

this is why I have been blessed with the ability to gain this

knowledge and I feel urgently pressed to share what I know with

others.

First, I will list the events, complete with dates and biblical

references. The explicit detail given here will seem to be

just a bunch of nonsense I have pulled from out of the air. A

lot of tedious study went into this though, and I have not been

the only person involved in this study. I cannot give biblical

references for all of it because the bible simply does not

explain clearly enough, for it was not meant for this

information to become understood so clearly until close to the

time for it to happen.

1. Around New Year’s, 1997- Saddam Hussein will defiantly

force President Clinton to make a move. Most likely, Saddam

will initiate another invasion and people will be slaughtered by

the hundreds, as was done in Kuwait.

2. At the end of January, President Clinton will launch a

massive strike against Iraq, and Saddam will be killed. This

will anger the Russians because Iraq still owes them money from

the cost of the war in 1990. As Russia is still having a hard

time financially since the collapse of the Soviet Union,

America’s reaction to Saddam will be seen as inconsiderate of

Russia’s financial woes. France will join in the arguments,

defending President Clinton’s decision with the attitude that

Saddam’s destruction was in the best interest of keeping peace

in the world. Russia will still feel that it’s problems have

not been given enough consideration. By June, the egotism

between America, France and Russia will become so intense that

the discussion of it will be cut off and a silent hatred will

smolder for awhile.

3. In September 1997, even after a warning from the pope about the

consequences of another world war, Russia will suddenly invade

Western Europe, starting WWIII. As a Russian naval fleet from

Murmansk positions itself along the French coast, Paris will be

demolished overnight by the Russian Air Force. American troops

will be sent to counter the invading Russian and Moslem forces,

and battles will take place all over southern France. After

fleeing from the invasion of Italy, the pope dies at Lyon on

December 13th.

4. The war will last three years and seven months, ending in

March 2001, immediately after the rapture. (Daniel 12:7)

Fortunately for Americans, the fighting will be most heavily

concentrated on the European continent as Russia attempts to

take the whole place into its possession. (A vague

description of WWIII can be found in the last chapters of

Daniel.)

5. Jesus said no one knows the exact date or hour of His

return, but the approximate period can be determined. The

rapture lasts forty-five days, taking place in February and

March 2001, beginning 1,290 days after the start of the war and

ending 1,335 days after the start of the war. (Daniel

12:11-12) It begins when the second pope after John Paul II

introduces a messiah in February 2001 (Matthew 24:15)

6. Jesus’ description of the rapture: (Matthew 24:15-28)

Jesus’ description of extra-terrestrials targeting the

aftermath of the false messiah scene: (Matthew 24:27-28)

Jesus’ description of the collection of the false messiahs

after the rapture is completed and the stunned reaction of the

people to the display of extra-terrestrial spacecraft in the

skies: (Matthew 24:29-31)

The remainder of this explanation should help the reader

understand how to escape destruction. Some who read this will

suspect that I am only creating confusion so that people will be

misled. Some may even accuse me of being one of the false

prophets I speak about. Some will automatically cringe at the

sight of the name “Jesus” and assume I’m just a preaching holy

roller. Others will laugh when they finish reading and assume I

must be crazy. Indeed, this story will get harder and harder to

believe as I go. There will be at least a few people though,

who will recognize that the description given by Jesus has

actually been clarified and the truth about the end will be

understood clearly. I will leave it to the reader to make his

own conclusions.

Jesus foretold of His return near the end, to “cut the days

short for His Father’s children” because life will become so

unlivable at the end that the entire race would be destroyed

otherwise. When He was here, Jesus did three very important

things. One, he taught us how to live together peacefully and

successfully, although the majority of humanity has never

understood what He meant. Thus, the paradox that is facing

the world now. The second thing Jesus did was demonstrate what a

human being is capable of if he/she can love enough. The third

and most important thing He did was set up “part one” of a trick

that will cause those who have not understood His teachings to

separate themselves from those who have just prior to

Armageddon. The way it will be done will make it clear to the

savior as to where the true children of God can be found.

Jesus foretold of many false messiahs who would rise and

perform miracles so impressive that even His most committed

followers would be misled by it if possible. Before He left,

Jesus formed what is now known as the Catholic Church,

appointing the apostle Peter as the world’s first pope. In the

beginning, His church was very simple. However, since it was

His church, He knew what would happen. Peter was chosen

because of his unshakable faith in Jesus. All of the heads of

the church who have followed in the tradition have thus had one

goal in mind– to make the Catholic Church what Jesus Himself

would have made it. When the rules were established in the

Catholic Church, they were taken very seriously. They were

considered absolute and must never be changed or abolished for

any reason. Jesus knew how difficult it would become near the

end of the world for a church dedicated to its doctrines and

established methods. Therefore, in such trying times, He knew

that His church could be relied on to introduce another person

like Him when one finally comes along.

So, where Jesus was actually rejected by religious authority

because of His apparent rebellion against the established ways,

something quite different will occur when religious authority

actually introduces someone just like Him. Since authority

itself will trust him, the world will also trust him, even

though he is only a spiritual healer who wants to ease the

world’s pain and suffering. The public’s attention will be

dominated as this man goes around miraculously healing people

of AIDS, Cancer and all sorts of other diseases, and producing

food right out of thin air to feed everybody with. As the war

rages on between the countries, humanity will desperately want

to believe this man is the return of Christ, and after all, he

will have been introduced by the church Jesus started Himself.

The Catholic Church’s intentions will have been completely

honest and righteous, for the man they introduce will be as

much like Jesus as anyone could ever be. It will be society

itself that will take a good thing and turn it into something

evil. This is exactly the way Jesus planned it, for He knew the

world will have become very dependent on authority near the

end, and will be ready to just completely hand itself over,

expecting to never have to do anything again. But He warned

about these false messiahs. Those of us who have learned

Jesus’ message will recognize what is really going on as this

man goes around creating a social dependency on himself.

Electricity will become too expensive to produce around this

time, due to the cost of the war. As the world loses its

ability to stay informed about foreign places, this man will

begin popping up all over the planet and people will be drawn to

him like moths to a flame.

Everyone will respect his apparent authority too much to ask

questions about how he transports himself from one place to the

next. People will also wonder where all the followers have gone

as he re-appears in new places, but it will be assumed that he

has already taken them to Heaven. The man will be worshipped

and everybody he touches will feel they have just felt the touch

of God. Then after awhile, some innocent person will ask a

question like, “Are you really Jesus? You don’t look like

him… and the bible warns about false messiahs.” The reaction

from those who would have died without his help will be one of

angry protectiveness. “How DARE you question the Son of God!

Don’t you KNOW who he is?” they will shout. Then another

innocent person will join the first one, insisting that the

messiah be allowed to speak for himself. But he will never be

allowed to speak. His followers will be too loyal to him to

allow anyone to put him in the humbling position of explaining

himself. The violent reactions of these devout followers will

frighten many of the people and a division will begin to occur.

The arguments will become more heated as the crowd divides,

and those who are breaking away will look on with suspicion as

they watch everyone defending their messiah with such zeal. Then

the followers will become very disturbed by what is happening

and they will want the people not to be afraid. They will plead

for those who have become suspicious to please come back so they

can all ascend to Heaven soon. But as they plead, the suspicion

will only increase because the messiah himself has never been

allowed to say anything. Then their pleading will turn into

authoritativeness. The followers will be appalled by the sudden

lack of respect that has overcome these people as the crowd

divides further. Finally, force will begin to be exerted under

the notion that the non-believers should be punished. As the

non-believers put up further resistance, violence will break

out. Innocent people will stand by and helplessly watch their

loved ones being ruthlessly beaten. As the violence increases,

those who are trying to fight back will be killed.

The people who are left over will cry out in hysteria over the

loss of their loved ones, yelling, “Why? Why did you have to

kill them?” The followers will self-righteously maintain their

positions, blaming the non-believers for their sudden demise.

Then the followers will try to escape their guilt by abandoning

these completely broken, weeping people. The crying will last

for hours as these people sulk in confusion about what they ever

did to deserve to be forsaken by the God they have always been

committed to. Within three days though, something truly

miraculous will occur for these people.

Now this is where the story gets extremely unbelievable. It

was meant to be this way though, because faith and understanding

of Jesus’ teachings is what will cause these people to end up in

this situation. The sheer craziness of what happens next is

what will make it okay for me to go ahead and reveal it. Nobody

will believe it anyway unless they can thoroughly understand the

cause of the division of the people as described above. Here is

basically why the followers of the messiah will divide– The

people of the world are already divided right now. The false

messiah’s purpose is to lovingly draw everybody together.

Those who want to remain in a divided state will cause the crowd

to divide. Those who are frightened away will be the ones who

genuinely want unity, although most of them won’t understand

this at the time because it will all be so confusing. The pain

they will go through from witnessing the riot and then being

left behind even though they didn’t do anything wrong will

leave an irrevocable impression on them. The lesson it will

teach them is the reason they will be rescued.

As these weeping people stay close to their dead friends and

loved ones, feeling completely helpless, and starving half to

death, with no way to provide for themselves, they will sit in

the darkness of the night and see something strange in the sky.

Beautiful, majestic lights will speed toward them, and in a

flash, there will be these gigantic machines hovering in the air

over them. Glorious colored floods of light will radiate from

underneath and everyone will begin to float up through the air

and into the beautifully lit crafts. Then, instantly, they will

all be gone and since these people will have been left for dead

anyway, nobody will even notice that they are missing.

They will be transported to another planet far away from here,

where they will be the honored guests of everyone there,

visitors to a Heavenly Kingdom, respected by everyone because of

what they had to go through. Meanwhile, back on Earth, the

thousands of clones of the false messiah they have planted will

be busy causing the same process all over the planet for a total

period of forty-five days.

Then, after every person in the world has had exposure to the

messiah scene, the messiahs themselves will all be collected and

the remaining people of the Earth will be stunned by the

realization of what has happened. People will cry out in pain

as everybody witnesses the beautiful displays of

extra-terrestrial spacecraft dancing through the sky

everywhere. The war will stop then, and the leaders of the

countries will realize what they have been doing as they have

just missed the rapture. The remaining people of the world will

feel a pain that will last a long while and there will be a

period of sober peace but everyone will still be suffering due

to all the social damage. The leaders of the world will

consider how the extra-terrestrials have succeeded in not doing

what the world has been engaged in since 1997.

Then the idea of a single government for the whole world will

occur to them so that they can dispose of the nuclear weapons

and stop fighting with each other. But they will find

themselves in a dilemma over who should be the leader. The

Russians will elect a new president of Asian Buddhist descent

who has the same spiritual healing abilities as that of the

false messiahs. Then when this choice is not accepted by the

other leaders of the world, the conflict will start all over

again. The Russians will require those who agree with the idea

to accept a mark of identification so that they may be

distinguished from everyone else. The citizens of Russia who

refuse the mark will be tortured and if they don’t give in, they

will be killed.

The U.S. government and the peoples of Asia will all recognize

what has happened, and as the whole world tries to stop what

Russia is doing, the Russians will finally launch nuclear

weapons. Then the rest of the world will begin firing back at

Russia and the holocaust will burn like the fires of Hell.

Those who die from refusing the mark will have saved their

souls, for they will have died in righteousness as Jesus did.

They will therefore live again, as Jesus did.

After the war of the antichrist finally ends in 2026

(according to Nostradamus,) those of us who were rescued will

make a new start here, after the destruction of the war is

cleaned up for us. No one will ever want there to be a need for

authority figures, so no one will engage in crime. Those who

try to commit a crime will have their peers to answer to and

everyone will regard the harmony of the community as precious.

There will be no monetary system and everyone will simply do the

kind of work he or she enjoys (no taxes!) Everyone will simply go to the

person or organization who provides whatever he or she needs,

and everyone will gain their sense of security from how well

they do their work. Instead of depending on money for security,

people will get their security from the strength of their

integration in the community. The community itself will be

called “The Father” and the family these people will form

together all over the globe will propel them into the

technological age with such a force that they will soon expand

the boundaries of what man calls home. Humanity will become

part of the intergalactic neighborhood that has been out there

all along, watching us quietly.

Anyone who has done well enough to survive on their own until

the messiah scene reaches his/her home town should avoid the

chaos altogether by simply staying away from it as Jesus

instructed. These fortunate people should stay aware of the

scene from a distance though, until after the rioting passes and

the messiah leads his followers away. Then they should join the

crying people left over. The dead bodies scattered about the

area is the sign the extra-terrestrials will be looking for.

“As the lightning in the east flashes to the west, so will the

coming of the Son of Man be. Where the carcass lies, there the

vultures gather.”

— Jesus (Matthew 24:27-28)
