A Word for the Last Minute

NOSTRADAMUS

SADDAM HUSSEIN

ARMAGEDDON

This is a correction to a statement I made in my book Nostradamus, Saddam Hussein, . On page seven when speaking of Daniel’s seventieth week, the seven-year agreement, I firmly believe the Lord showed me that Israel and the Palestinians would make a seven-year agreement. I assumed that it was going to be made by the time I published the book. That presumption of the timing of the agreement was MY error. I still believe that they are going to make that prophetic agreement and though I do not know the timeline in which it will happen I believe it to be soon.

This Book is Dedicated to:

The Teenagers,

God’s Soldiers of the Light

Today’s teenagers have been labeled “Generation X.” The reason for this label is they have no cause of purpose, or so it is said…

God told me, “’X’ marks the spot, they belong to Me, they are

Mine. I have set them apart for My cause and purpose. Soldiers of the Light, My army, the army of the Living God.”

5 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

I would like to thank the many people in my life that have made this book possible. First and most important is my wife Glenda.

She is the one person God used to keep me on track when I was at my weakest point. There were many times I wanted to quit but didn’t because of her prayers. It has been a pretty good road for the last 25 years. A few bumps but God has seen us through. Glenda could have and should have left me several times but instead she followed the Lord and for that I stand in awe of her faith in Him.

Second, I want to thank my parents Noble and Marilyn Banks for their godly example, prayers and being the best parents a guy could ask for. They are with Jesus now but I still want to honor them. Before they passed they each gave me their blessing.

Next I want to thank my Pastor Judy Capshaw and husband

Fred, he is also my Pastor. God told me they were His Apostles of

6 Grace and Mercy. They have taught me a lot about the Father’s love. They have mentored me as Paul did Timothy. If you want to know TRUE servants of God you must meet my Pastors.

In addition, I want to thank Scott Taylor. He has been like a spiritual father to me. In 1990 when God started to reveal the things in this book to me I got into a panic and not knowing what to do I went to Scott. After sharing what God was showing me,

Scott said I should write a book and so here we are.

I also want to give a special thanks to Peggy Frazier and her mother, Martha. When she started to work on this book she told me; “I was either telling the truth or I was the greatest con man alive,” and when I ask her what she meant she told me the sentence structures and so forth in the first part of the book needed corrected, but she said the prophecies were perfect. I told her it was God just trying to make me look bad again. Peggy edited this book for me at no cost. Thank you for your labor of love. Jesus

7 has your reward.

Next, I must mention my favorite people. My children, Mickey

Banks and his wife Melonie, Joseph Banks and his wife Tami, my daughter Talitha Cogswell and her husband David, my sons

Anthony and David Banks and his wife Angie. My pride and joys of life are my grandchildren, Mickey, Tristen, Kelsey, Patelin Ann, and David Jr. There are so many more people I need to thank, but for fear of leaving some names out or forgetting others I just want to say thank you for your prayers, examples and friendship. We could have never done it without your help. May God bless you.

When Daniel’s seventieth week or "7-Year Agreement" has been made it will confirm this work (1). The first copyright on this book was a poor man’s copyright in 1991, which is to mail yourself a copy and you use the postmark as proof of copyright.

But my brother Shawn Banks told me to go ahead and copyright it via the copyright process.

I had to get this done prior to the seven year (Daniel’s seventieth week) agreement. The reason for this is the seven year agreement validates the book and also confirms Deuteronomy

18:22, which reads; “When a prophet speaketh in the name of the

Lord, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the Lord hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously; thou shalt not be afraid of him.” The reason to fear this man is because what he has spoken has come to pass and

God validates him as His prophet or spokesman.

For the record I have given copies of this book to my Pastors

Fred and Judy Capshaw, Scott Taylor of Oklahoma City,

Oklahoma; Pam Condry of Vinita, Oklahoma; Ken Owen of

Midwest City, Oklahoma; and Keith Fife of Oklahoma City,

Oklahoma. The Elders in my church have read this book.

My prayer is that you will use this opportunity to let God minister to your heart and help you understand His plan and

9 salvation. I believe this is our last chance to get through the door before it is closed forever.

Your fellow servant of Jesus Christ

10 PREFACE

The Lord told me to write this book. There are several things you must know about what God is doing, and what He requires of us, and what is happening around us as I write. I believe that God loves us so much that He will give us up to the twelfth hour and the last minute to prepare ourselves to meet Him.

What God has revealed to me is real tough and real scary. Let me share a scripture with you: Romans 11:22 (LB): “Notice how

God is both kind and severe” (causing distress and especially physical discomfort or pain). He is very hard on those who disobey, but very good to you if you continue to love and trust him. But if you don’t, you too will be cut off.”

No one wants to be cut off. But God is coming for His Bride, and the Bride (Church) must make preparations to meet the

Groom.

11

The Lord has revealed the identity of the Beast, better known as

the anti-christ. This person will usher in the close of this age after

seven years of hell on earth.

If this message makes you feel condemned or guilty, that is good.

Good because your conscience is not dead. And as you read this, the Holy Spirit will be dealing with you about your relationship

with the Father and the Son.

If you have a weak heart, do not read this book. But have

someone else read it and share the contents of it with you. This

warning is serious.

There has been much error in the teaching and the beliefs over

the years. What God has shown He is doing is very plain and

simple. You do not have to be a scholar to understand this message.

12

God loves you very much. My writing as inspired by the Holy

Spirit may offend some, but if a person comes to know Jesus it is all worth it to me. Remember the choice belongs to you and I hope it is the right one.

“A storm is coming, a terrible storm and I have to warn the people!”

Amos 3:7 (LB) “But always, first of all, I warn you through my prophets. This I now have done.”

13 CHAPTER ONE

YOU CAN RUN, BUT YOU CAN’T HIDE

It was a hot summer day about sixteen years ago. My girlfriend and I were sitting on our balcony out in the cool breeze. We lived on the second floor of a duplex in a poor part of town. My girl friend and I had been living together for several months. We had had a male child whom we named Mickey Lynn Jr. This was my third male child born out of wedlock. I stayed with girl because when I was working in California a voice informed me; “If you don’t do right by this child, all your other children will be girls.”

I had grown up in a ghetto area of Oklahoma City called The

Old South Town, an area that was predominantly Mexican, Black,

American Indian with few Whites. My brothers and sister were fair skinned and blonde headed.

14 My entire childhood evolved around hate, fear, discrimination, and pain. If there was any love in the world, I had not found it.

All my experiences with people had produced pain, and this great pain caused me to have great fear. My biggest fear was that I would never find true love in this world.

I wasn’t sure whose voice told me to do right by the child, but for some reason I knew that the voice was serious and very clear, so I thought it best to do right this time.

The wind was blowing through my hair as I watched my girlfriend, pretty Glenda Ann, attend to my son in the playpen.

Every time she would smile at me, it would almost knock me over.

I had plenty of girlfriends in my short life, but they all had been unfaithful. But Glenda Ann seemed special.

“Mickey! Hey, Mickey!” a voice hollered. It was Jimmy, my

15 childhood buddy, trying to get my attention. I looked over the edge of the balcony, and he was standing in the yard. “Hey! Come on.

Come on down, and let’s walk over to my place.”

Jimmy’s mom gave him up for adoption when he was just a baby. He never knew his real Dad, but was adopted by a big man named Calvin. Calvin was around sixty years old, six feet six inches tall, and weighed 260 pounds. Life had been tough on

Calvin and Jimmy, just as hard as it been on me.

“Come on Mickey. Let’s get going,” Jimmy insisted. I started to climb over the balcony instead of using the stairs. In the process, I slipped and almost fell. I caught myself on the banister.

I heard a scream, and saw Glenda with both of her hands held over her mouth.

It hit me like a ton of bricks. She was actually afraid for me.

She cared. I finished climbing down the balcony, and Jimmy and I

16 headed over to his apartment. But I don’t think my feet even touched the ground.

“Jimmy,” I said, “she was actually afraid for me!” He replied;

“Sure she was, you big dummy. She loves you.” I was stunned!

Here I was twenty years old and felt something I had never felt before, love! Real LOVE!

I don’t remember hearing anything on our way to Jimmy’s house but that “she loves you, you big dummy; she loves you.”

Then I heard another voice like before; “I will show you true love, for I am LOVE”!

Was I losing my mind? That voice again and this time it called itself LOVE! This couldn’t be God because I had forsaken Him and thought He had forsaken me years ago. Jesus Christ was only a crutch for the weak, old, kids, feeble, and the lame.

17 I could remember so many times as a young teenager in a fit of rage and anger looking up to the heavens and cursing God and flipping Him the finger. I didn’t have any money, I wasn’t popular, good looking, and I did not run with the in crowd. I didn’t even have an education. Heck, I had only completed the ninth grade of high school. HOW! Could God ever love me? I was a nobody, Gosh! I hadn’t even felt love until I was almost twenty years old. What would God see in me?

After a struggle of about a year or so, I finally came to know

Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. And He changed me totally.

Glenda Ann and I got married, and we had two more beautiful children: Joseph Lynn and Talitha Lynn.

And the love affair with God just kept getting better and better and better. I had done things in my life that I thought even the

“God of the heavens” could never forgive. But as I grew to know

Him, I found that there is only one sin that’s unforgivable, and that

18 is to blasphemy the Holy Spirit. And this I knew I hadn’t done. He washed me clean of all my sins. I was free!

Things where going very well for Glenda and I. We were raising our children in the fear of the Lord, studying our Bible, and becoming active in the Church.

But as time went on, I became very discontented with God and

His people. I could not understand why people didn’t love God the way I did. It seemed that even some of the leaders of the church we attended were living hypocritical lives.

I could not understand why people had such a problem serving

God. It seemed that for any little reason, folks would backslide of

God. Marriage problems, teenager problems, drinking or drug problems of their spouse. Even if they had a change in occupations, they would backslide on God. They thought they had major problems, but to me their problems were minor. No doubt,

19 you can see I had a big problem. I was judgmental and just a tad

self righteous. And I had a small ego problem as well. That small ego problem was about the size of Dallas.

Then it happened! I got a big promotion at work, and guess what?

I started slipping. All the problems of “those folks” were happening to me. Every excuse and more that I had once judged I was now experiencing. I fell flat on my face.

The scriptures would haunt me. “It would be better to have not known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn away from the holy commandment delivered unto them. But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb; The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.” (Second Peter 2:20-22 (KJV)).

The lessons I learned during that dark period of my like taught me a lot. The one thing God has taught me is to not judge people.

20 No one can pre-determine someone else’s eternal destiny. That is

God’s call to make, and not yours or mine.

The next thing I learned was not to trust in my own strength or

works. Instead, I must totally trust in the work that Jesus Christ

did on the cross for you and me.

My third lesson was to treat others the way I wish to be treated.

If someone has a personal problem, then I must act as if it were I

that had the problem. Then treat them as I would want to be

treated.

And the last, but not least, is to cast my total trust into the hands

of God, and serve Him with His strength and mercy, with His wonderful Holy Spirit’s loving help.

What made me realize all this was the scriptural teaching that if a man has one hundred sheep and one goes astray, he will leave the

21 ninety-nine sheep and go to fetch that one lost sheep. I was that

“lost sheep,” and He came to get me! And if He did that for me, He will do it for you!

The things I am about to share with you are true. Why it was revealed to me, I cannot say because I consider myself to be the least of all of God’s children. You must read this entire book to get God’s total message.

You will see the love, mercy, anger, hate, the pain and the

forgiveness of my Wonderful God. Your life will never be the

same after you read this book.

The message in this book will either save you or doom you

forever. My prayer is that you will heed the call of the Holy Spirit

of God the Father who sent His only Son to pay a price that we

owed but could not pay. If this book offends you in any way I ask

for your forgiveness, and if you can’t find it in your heart to

22 forgive me, I pray that my heavenly Father forgives you.

I have no ax to grind with any people, groups, or religious

organizations. The only thing I want to do is to please Him who

has called me. I also would suggest that you read this book

prayerfully.

I represent no groups, churches, or causes other than what God has called me to do.

To Him, I give all glory, praise, and honor, for He is worthy to receive it all and to You, my God, I do give this unto thee.

The ending to this book will subside any fears that you have.

You must read the entire message.

This all started in the summer of 1989. I had just awakened

from a strange dream, and the words kept going over and over in

23 my mind, “Warn the people a terrible storm is coming. Warn the

people a terrible storm is coming. Warn the people a terrible storm

is coming”.

For the record I’m not much of a dreamer; I mean I don’t have a

lot of dreams. And if I do dream, I can’t remember the dream,

only parts of it, if I remember any of it. But this dream was very

clear, and it just kept going over and over in my mind.

In the dream I was sitting on my front porch and across the

street was a field. In the field was a huge awesome storm, a

tornado, just sitting there spinning. In front of my house there was

a multitude of people walking up and down the sidewalk. Men, women, and children. Mothers pushing their babies in strollers and folks of every nationality. They suddenly noticed the storm and appeared curious and started to walk towards the storm. Being from Oklahoma, I knew what a tornado of that size could do to a person. In panic, I jumped up and started running and screaming

24 for them to stop. Hollering, “Stop! Stop! Stop! That storm will kill

you.” Then I woke up and the Lord said to me, “Warn the people, a

terrible storm is coming.” After the dream about “The Storm” I was stunned, not knowing what to do. So I just waited on the Lord.

Things were pretty quiet until the last part of the summer of

1990, when Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait. This event seemed to throw the entire world in shock. The cold war had just ended, the Berlin Wall had come tumbling down, and it appeared there would finally be peace in the world. Peace, sweet peace. But now we had a mad man in the Middle East trying to expand his empire.

The news networks went wild with media coverage. The major networks and some cable companies went to a twenty- four hour news coverage. The one thing I will never forget during that nightmare was the news report saying that Saddam Hussein believed himself to be a descendant of Nebuchabnezzar and was in the process of rebuilding the ancient city of Babylon.

25 The phrase, “King of Babylon,” started playing over and over in

my mind. I’d been out of church and reading the Bible for a long

time. We had just started back to church in June of 1990, so I knew it wasn’t something fresh on my mind. But it was very clear—“the King of Babylon.” I finished watching the news, but I could not shake this feeling.

I finally gave in to my mental “King of Babylon” issue and went to the concordance of the Bible to see what it was that seemed unshakable to me. The concordance referred me to Isaiah

14:4 (KJV), which reads: “That thou shalt take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say, how hath the oppressor ceased! The golden city ceased!”

That wasn’t very clear to me but after some research, I found that many Bible scholars state that “The King of Babylon” is one of the many titles of “the last days anti-christ.” This I did understand.

26

The revelation really threw me for a loop because one of the many things I’ve believed over the years about the anti-christ was that this “Man” was suppose to come in peace and be a man of peace. Another popular teaching was that he would be a Jew and come from Syria. Finally, he makes a seven year peace agreement with Israel. I can say I believe he is from Syria, but I’ll explain that later. Before I make wild-sounding predictions, I want to share some background with you.

27 CHAPTER TWO

NOSTRADAMUS: THE MAN WHO

COULD SEE THE FUTURE

A friend of mine had just finished watching a video on

Nostradamus, a man who was supposed to have been a prophet during the sixteenth century, over 400 years ago. My buddy told me that this man had predicted the San Francisco earthquake and an anti-christ rising up during the 1990’s in the Middle East, and he wanted me to watch it.

After watching the video the “King of Babylon” tape started playing in my head again. I was troubled once more. It seemed I could not get any rest from this “King of Babylon.” I went to the public library, and that started the adventure that ended with the writing of this book, after much praying and talking to God.

28 My initial question was whether Nostradamus was a prophet of

God, a sorcerer, or a fluke? Some authors say that he was involved in witchcraft and divination, others say that he was a true prophet of God. There are countless books on the subject. Over the 400 years, the mystery of Nostradamus has induced strong debate.

This one man has generated more current controversy that any other person who claimed to be a prophet. Did he hear from God or not? For my purposes, that is the question. There is no argument about this man predicting the future. The question is instead, “How?”

Nostradamus had an understandable fear of witch hunters in his day. With the inquisition occurring in his lifetime, people were being put to death at the word of another. Anyone would have lived in fear, especially if they claimed that God was talking with them in person, and showing them future events.

29 In my research, I found that Nostradamus not only had detractors in his day, but he also has them in our day.

Nostradamus was born in mid-December just after the turn of the century 1503. He was of Jewish-Italian descent born in St.

Remy de Provence. His given name was Michel de Nostredame but is known by his Latin name of Nostradamus.

The family of Nostradamus was converted from Judaism to

Catholicism when Nostradamus was about nine or ten years old.

In the early 1500’s, his family became part of a new Christian community. Being raised in a Jewish family required the reading and memorizing scriptures from the “Pentateuch” or the five books of the law of Moses, which is required of Jewish children as part of their heritage. There is no doubt Nostradamus was familiar with

Deuteronomy 18:10 (KJV) which reads: “There shall not be found among you anyone that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times or

30 an enchanter or a witch.”

Being a scholar, there is no doubt that he was also aware of the

New Testament book of Acts 16:16-18 (KJV): “And it came to

pass, as we went to prayer a certain damsel possessed with a spirit

of divination met us …..; The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, these men are the servants of the most high God which shew unto us the way of salvation and this did she many days, but Paul being grieved turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour.” In much of his writings and

prophecies Nostradamus speaks of God and Jesus Christ. There is

no reason not to believe he did not know the above scriptures.

In the early part of the 1520’s, he was receiving recognition as being a healer. The Plague hit the south of France and the courage of Nostradamus was seen as he attended to those who were dying, even though he could have died himself.

31

The legend of Nostradamus was even known in his own day.

Two of the tales that are told show his uncanny wisdom. A

Nobleman decided he was going to test the prophet’s gift. He

asked Nostradamus to tell him the fate of his two pigs.

Nostradamus told the nobleman that he would eat the black pig and

the dog would eat the white pig. The nobleman then went to the

cook and ordered him to prepare the white pig for supper. The tale

goes that while the cook was preparing the white pig for supper,

the wild dog belonging to the cook came and stole and ate the white pig. The cook, terrified, of being punished then prepared the black pig. When the nobleman informed Nostradamus he was eating the white pig, Nostradamus insisted that the black pig was

the one they were eating. When the nobleman sent for the cook,

who was very afraid of what had happened, he replied that the

black pig was the one being served.

32 The other tale was of the young monk, a swine herder who was

passing the prophet on the street. Nostradamus knelt down at the

young man’s feet and said to the young monk, “Your Holiness.” In

1585, the young monk became Pope Sextus V, years after the prophet’s death.

The history of Nostradamus tells us he wandered for many years during his lifetime because the Church labeled him a heretic.

Nostradamus was accused of practicing magic, and this charge could have resulted in his death by fire.

He was charged with witchcraft, and therefore, deserved to die.

He was evil. But consider something. If someone was trying to discredit you, would they associate you with good or evil? Many take Nostradamus seriously. Over the centuries, Nostradamus prophecies have been forged, counterfeited, and altered. So the question to ask is: Are the prophecies we have today the original unaltered prophecies? If they are God inspired, does God have an

33 obligation to protect the prophecies that survive and keep them

unaltered?

I believe that Nostradamus was a true prophet of God because

you cannot see the future unless God allows you to see it. If your

goal is to ruin the reputation of a prophet, then start rumors and

associate him with evil. After I attempt to clear this Nostradamus’

name, I will share a few of his many prophecies given through the

power of the Holy Spirit.

Many of Nostradamus’ prophecies were written in French,

Greek, Italian, and Latin. Many times, he used anagrams, or words

hidden in words. The reason for the mystery was to confuse his

enemies who were forever trying to discredit the prophet and have

him put to death. He had on more than one occasion been accused of using magic to bring about cures and predictions of future events.

34 Nostradamus is not the first prophet of God to be accused of

this. Balaam, a prophet of God, also has had his detractors. Now this is not some man whose writing has survived some 400 years, but rather, this story is taken directly from the Bible. For years people have denied the fact that the Bible is the written Word of

God, but Roman 3:4 (KJV) states: “Let God be true, but every man a liar.” And it is also written: “all scripture is given by inspiration of God,” Second Timothy 3:16 (KJV).

The story of Balaam is found in Numbers 22. Balak, the son of

Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites, which they had just defeated in a brutal war, so Balak and the other Kings, came up with a plan to find Balaam, a known prophet of God, and pay him to curse Israel. They came with the reward of divination.

Balaam informed them that he would speak to God and get back with them. God came to Balaam. If God could come to

Balaam, why couldn’t He come to Nostradamus?

35 In Nostradamus’ first two prophecies of the first century, you will find the same occurrence. I will not quote the entire prophecies but in the first one, Nostradamus writes of a flame of fire. In Matthew 8:11, John the Baptist equates the Holy Spirit

with fire; also Acts 2:3-4 symbolizes the Spirit of God with a flame of fire.

In the second prophecy, Nostradamus writes: “Heavenly

Splendor, the Divine God sits near by.” Balaam sought God, and

God appeared to him and spoke with him. Why then do people think God would not do the same for you or me or Nostradamus?

Pagans in Balaam’s day knew only of divination, witchcraft, enchantments, and magic, so they thought that was the way

Balaam made predictions. That is why they brought the reward of divination. He lived in an era when the occult was as popular as it is today. Some people have always preferred to believe a lie rather than the truth.

36

One of the reasons Nostradamus has been criticized is because of the many interpretations of the first two prophecies. Some interpreters do not understand the historical background, so they say this is the formula for some kind of witchcraft or divination.

Keep in mind that God, and only God, knows the future. This prophecy was Nostradamus’ way of seeking God. Remember that he was raised in Judaism and later was converted to Catholicism as a new Christian seeking earnestly to please God. When you consider his history and the times in which he lived, you can see how he could have been unjustly accused.

Even in our day, ministers have been accused of witchcraft.

Not many years ago, tent preachers used to play with snakes and at times were bitten. If there were no ill effects, the nonbelievers claimed that they were in collaboration with the devil or magic or charlatanry since they didn’t die.

37

Even the Apostle Paul was thought to have ties with the devil.

Acts 28:3-6 (KJV) says: “and when Paul had gathered a bundle of

sticks and laid them on the fire, there came a viper out of the heat

and fastened on his hand. When the barbarians saw the venomous

beast on his hand, they said among themselves, no doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he hath escaped the sea, yet suffereth not to live. He shook off the beast into the fire and felt no harm. Howbeit they looked when he should have swollen or fallen down dead suddenly; but after they looked a great while, and saw no harm come to him they changed their minds and

said he was a god.” Remember that their gods were pagan idols,

and the implications against Paul become much stronger.

If Paul had lived in Nostradamus’s era, the citizens could have

easily said he was a sorcerer and burned him at the stake.

38 During his life on Earth, Jesus Christ had had detractors also.

The Gospel of Matthew 12:22-24 and 31-32 (KJV) states: “Then

was bought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind and dumb;

and He healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake

and saw. And all the people were amazed and said, Is not this the

son of David? But when the Pharisees, religious leaders, heard it

they said, this fellow doth not cast out devils but by Beelzebub the

price of devils.” Jesus had a reply to their accusation: “Wherefore I say unto you, all manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men, but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.”

So the Bible teaches that it is not important if men falsely

accuse God’s prophets of evil powers which they use to do their

work for the Lord. They even accused Jesus Christ of this, but one

word of caution: if it is the work of God’s Holy Spirit, take heed of the last warning Jesus just gave.

39 This book is not a focus on Nostradamus, although I believe he

has been unjustly accused by many. My concern is with what God

has revealed to me through Nostradamus prophecies. But now the

attention should be on the message and not the messenger. My

purpose like Nostradamus’ is to point you to the One that gave the message.

There are about a thousand prophecies of Nostradamus that are called “quantrains.” They are unsequenced to confuse them to his accusers.

Some dismiss Nostradamus’ prophecies as educated guesses.

They claim that his predictions would have happened sooner or later. For example, “A ruler rises up in Europe during the 1900’s and this ruler will be evil and cause great death and sorrow to mankind.” Now this could apply to a number of leaders: Mussolini,

Hitler, or many others would fit this. And with almost nine years left, it could apply to one to come. Some argue that something can

40 be predicted, and sooner or later it will happen. Yet he named some prophecies to the letter, and gave others in anagram form.

Events and wars were prophesied by Nostradamus as though he witnessed them. The scholars agree that his “Hister” was almost certainly “Hitler.” And Nostradamus predicted the Spanish Franco of the Spanish Civil War some 400 years before it took place.

Nostradamus definitely seems to have seen the future.

Nostradamus also wrote of three antichrists. Scholars believe that Napoleon was the first, Hitler the second, and the third is yet to come. The last one is predicted to be the worst of the three by far.

In prediction of Napoleon, Nostradamus wrote: “The Emperor is to be born next to Italy, the same is less a prince and more a butcher.” The same has been said of Napoleon, and Nostradamus even predicted his imperial emblem or crest of the Bee which represented the Bee Hive. Napoleon would have continued his

41 reign of terror if God had not stopped him. Napoleon was halted

by the cold winter of Russia and the Russia army. Finally,

Nostradamus predicted Napoleon’s demise at Waterloo.

The second anti-christ was Hitler. Nostradamus wrote of “a

monster with a mighty hunger, Hister the child of Germany obeys

no law.” He went on to describe “iron made of iron turned upside

down,” which was the swastika.

The Germans even used the prophecies as a propaganda tool against the French. By air dropping them over Paris, they showed it had been predicted that France would fall to the Germans.

Winston Churchill and the United States also used

Nostradamus’s prophecies that predicted the fall of Germany as a

moral booster for their countries.

Other things are easily found in his predictions. The invention

42 of the atom bomb and its being dropped on Japan during World

War II, air balloons, air travel, the “6 day war” between Israel and

Syria, Jordan, and Egypt, the Kennedy brothers being assassinated,

and Pearl Harbor being bombed were all seen by Nostradamus. In fact, students of his prophecy believe that over two-thirds of

Nostradamus prophecies have already come to pass.

Many other predictions of Nostradamus have occurred, but others are still to come. And it is these that we should study.

One prophecy gives the year 1999 when the “King of Terror” will arise, but other prophecies indicate the middle of this decade for the start of the “Final War” of this age. Another prophecy states: “It appears the gods started the War, the greatest loss will be to the left or west,” which is the United States.

“When the century is near end, it will pour war, rain blood, famine and disease after the comet has passed.” We are nearing the

43 end of the century and the comet, Halley, has just passed.

Another says, “The two great powers will be friends, the United

States and Russia, the new country, the United States, will be the strongest and the man of blood, the Anti-Christ, will stand up.”

Nostradamus predicts chemical warfare during this time within

the boundaries of the old Roman Empire. The Mohammedans,

Arabs, rise up with great strength and religious zeal. He also

predicted cannibalism due to great famine. Cannibalism has been reported in Ethiopia, due to their famine.

There are many, many more, but I will not try and convince you of anything. That is the Holy Spirit’s job. We know that no man knows the hour or the day of the Lord’s return, and I will refuse to even guess. But I believe we can know the seasons and the signs.

One is when the fig tree puts forth leaves, “Ye know summer is nigh,” Matthew 24:32 (KJV). This represents Israel becoming a

44 nation, which happened in 1948. Jesus said that His return would

happen prior to this generation passing away—the generation of

1948.

Nostradamus also predicted a battle similar in appearance to the

Biblical Battle of Armageddon. He said, “the infernal gods of

Hannibal would rise to live again and be the terror of all mankind.

Never was there more horror, never was there one worse that did happen to the Romans by Babel (Babylon, Iraq).”

Both the Bible and Nostradamus speak of similar things happening in the end times: earthquakes, volcanoes, cyclones, killer tornadoes, weather records being set and then broken in the

same week.

The United States Red Cross just reported a blood shortage

because of so many shootings and murder is at an all time high.

All of this is just a sign of the times we’re in. Earthquakes are

45 happening in places that have no history of earthquakes. Killer bees are in the United States after coming from South America. A man leaving the Philippines during the eruption of the volcano stated, “A volcano erupted, a cyclone hit us, and we have had several earthquakes all at the same time. I thought I was in Hell.”

46 CHAPTER THREE

THE KING OF BABYLON

The bricks being laid in the restoration of the ancient city of

Babylon are inscribed, “The Babylon of Nebuchadnezzar was rebuilt by Saddam Hussein.”

Saddam Hussein believes himself to be a modern day

Nebuchadnezzar. Nebuchadnezzar was the sixth century, B.C., original Babylonian king who conquered Jerusalem and carried the

Hebrews into captivity. The Jewish people than found no deliverance from this king. Will the Jewish people of today have to be rescued from this Hussein, the “King of Babylon,” by Jesus

Christ himself?

Who is Saddam Hussein? The magazine articles, books, and news coverage are endless. This man has the whole world’s attention, especially from August of 1990 to this current hour.

47

He was born April 28, 1937, in a small village, Al-Auja, close to the town of Takrit, next to the Tigris River, a hundred miles or so north of Baghdad. His family was among the poorest citizens.

It is rumored that his father, Hussein al-Majid died prior to

Saddam’s birth.

His mother remarried a man named Ibrahun Hassan. This man hated Saddam and was very abusive to him during his childhood.

His dream of becoming a military leader like one of his uncles may have been the motivation force that pushed the man. The love for guns and weapons came early in life for Saddam. In the late

1950’s, Saddam failed in an attempt to assassinate a Communist party leader. He was wounded and in fear, swam across the Tigris

River, and hid in the deserts of Syria. It is rumored that after he left Syria, he went to Egypt to finish his education and received a law degree.

48 After finishing his education, he returned to the political revolution in Iraq. There, he began to implement his goal and destiny. Some of Saddam’s jobs in the Baath Party were assassin, torturer, and interrogator. His reputation was fierce among the

Party. In the early 1960’s, there was a rift in the Baath Party, and

Saddam was assigned to be area or regional commander. And from there he climbed to the top. The network he wove with relatives gave him the strongest party hold in his government since it was created.

Saddam Hussein complained during the Gulf War about a level playing field. What was good for him was also good for Israel.

Was this not a last minute excuse for invading Kuwait? This has been a cause of the Baath Party for years. This cause had been a political tool he learned about early in the Party. It was a rally point that would help strengthen the Party for years since the passing of U.N. Resolution 242, in 1967, that required Israel to give the land back. They refused. The Arabs have given up in the

49 political arena and decided the only way to get the land back was to take it back with force. So when Hussein cried “Unfair!” you witnessed the effect. The Arab champion had arrived, Arabs nations went wild, and riots broke out through out the Middle East.

He felt turn-about was fair play. If he had to give Kuwait back then the only fair thing to the Arabs was that Israel give the

Palestinians their land back. And if that didn’t happen, then the

United States and her Allies could expect the Mother of all Battles.

Promising the Mother of all Battles was no small threat considering that Iraq had the fourth largest army in the world. It was also war toughened from completing a marginal victory

against Iran. Iraq’s ground artillery forces were the best in the

Middle East.

Iraq disclosed a few things of interest to both Bible students and those who follow the Middle East prophecies of Nostradamus.

Iraq informed the United Nation’s Security Council that they (Iraq)

50 were able to produce a crude World War II atomic bomb.

Nostradamus predicted this over 400 years ago. He also predicted an alliance between Russia and this middle-east leader called the

“Beast.” The prophet Daniel predicts the “Beast” shall honour the god of forces.

Saddam Hussein just reported to the U.N.S.C. that Iraq would be destroying two super canons that could fire a one ton shell 600 miles. The book of Revelations speaks of the stars falling from heaven. The U.N.S.C. believes that this man is finally coming clean about his arsenal. Over the last decade, his country has spent many, many, dollars on weapons, and many nations, including the

United States, have sold him technology.

In June, 1991, an Iraq scientist defected from Iraq. He told those who would listen that Saddam Hussein had nuclear capabilities. This report was dismissed by the United States because they felt they had destroyed them during bombing raids.

51 When the United Nations verifiers went to call on several facilities, they were fired upon. Only then did the United States take the first report seriously.

So the United States is not sure what was sold on approval from world wide companies, and many wonder how armed Hussein really is. Do we have any idea how armed he is? Do we believe

Iraq will give full disclosure on weapons? When Nostradamus predictions come true about Russia joining him at a later date due to Iraq conquering them in war, and we know what the Russian capabilities are, then what does the future hold for us?

The Bible predicts the False Prophet will build a statue of the beast (Revelation 13:14-15). This person will be so vain that he will approve of statues being built in his honor. Hussein could be this vain.

52 I could go on and on about Saddam Hussein, but now I think it is time to show you the things that God has revealed to me.

53

CHAPTER FOUR

SADDAM HUSSEIN: NOSTRADAMUS’

ANTI-CHRIST?

The middle of August, 1990, saw things going pretty good for

the most part for me. I still wasn’t sure what God was wanting to

show me, but I figured if God wanted me to know it, I would know it.

One night, I went to bed about ten p.m., and it seemed like although I had just fallen asleep, I was getting up and heard this voice saying, “I will show you great and mighty things that you

know not. I will show you great and mighty things that you know not. I will show you great and mighty things that you know not.”

Whether the voice was audible or not I could not tell, but I do know it was very plain and very clear.

54

“The Man that brings Peace to the entire World”

For years the Christian church has been taught that when the

anti-christ came on the scene, he would bring world peace. Then

the church would be raptured, and the anti-christ’s mask would be

removed to reveal what the Bible calls the “Beast.”

The term “Rapture” is not found in the Bible. The word means

to be carried away or caught up. Most Bible scholars get this

theory from First Thessalonians 4:16-17 (KJV) : “For the Lord

himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in air: and so

shall we ever be with the Lord.”

Let’s look at some of the titles that the Bible has given this man

55 of peace and the context of his title. “The Assyrian” is found in

Isaiah 10:24 (KJV). God speaks to Israel through Isaiah saying:

“Oh, my people that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of the

Assyrian; he shall smite thee with a rod, and shall lift up his staff against thee, after the manner of Egypt.” Another title of the anti- christ is found in the book of First John 2:18 (KJV) : “Little children, it is the last time; and as ye have heard that anti-christ

shall come, even now are there many anti-christ; whereby we

know that it is the last time.”

The book of Daniel calls him the “King of Fierce Countenance” in 8:23 (KJV), “and in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences shall stand up.”

Second Thessalonians 2:3 (KJV) warns: “Let no man deceive you by any means, for the day shall not come except there come a falling away first and that man of sin be revealed, the son of

56 perdition.” Perdition means eternal damnation or hell. Verse eight calls him “wicked”.

The book of Revelation calls him the “Beast” in Chapter 13, verse 1 (KJV) “And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns and upon his horns ten crowns and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.”

Now how can anybody read the above titles and scripture verses and interpret that this man will bring world peace? Where did the scholars get this? I will show you, but first let me say this: those who have taught this I believe did from a sincere heart. They felt

God showed them something or they heard teaching on it. It sounded good, and it appeared scriptural.

From Daniel 8:25 (KJV) they read, “And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand, and he shall

57 magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many.”

Well you may question that the Bible does say, “by peace shall

destroy many.”

The logical conclusion is that he will be a man that brings peace, so what’s the argument? First let me say this, I believe the

translation of the King James version of the Bible is the Word of

God, but the more modern translations are just as anointed and give us a clearer picture. Now let’s see the same verse in the

Living Bible, identical or very close to the words of most other

modern translations: “He will be a master of deception, defeating

many by catching them off guard as they bask in false security.

Without warning he will destroy them. So great will he fancy

himself to be that he will even take on the Prince of Princes in

battle, but in so doing he will seal his own doom, for he shall be

broken by the Hand of God, though no human means could

overpower him.”

58 Now according to this translation, he will be a master of deception, defeating many by catching them off guard as they bask

in false security. The only way a person can be caught off guard is when they feel that there is no threat. This could cause them to bask in a false security. I will get into this later, but now I must clear up a few more mis-teachings that I feel are honest mistakes by some very good and sincere Bible teachers.

“Jewish Anti-Christ”

Another error due to the King James translation is the teaching that the anti-christ will be a Jew. I will share the King James

Version and then the Living Bible translations. This teaching no doubt has caused a lot of hard and hurt feelings from the Jewish

Christian'’ brothers and sisters.

The book of Daniel again helps us clear up this terrible error.

Chapter 11:36-37; “And the king shall do according to his will;

and he shall exalt himself and magnify himself above every god

59 and shall speak marvelous things against the God of Gods and

shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished for that that is determined shall be done. Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers nor the desire of women, nor regard any god for he shall magnify himself above all. “The Living Bible translation sheds new light on the above. “The king will do exactly as he pleases,

claiming to be greater than every god there is, even blaspheming

the God of gods and prospering until his time is up. For God’s

plans are unshakable. He will have no regard for the god of his

fathers, nor for the god beloved of women, nor any other god, for

he will boast that he is greater than them all.” The difference is in

verse thirty-seven. In the King James translation, the word “God”

is capitalized which would suggest the anti-christ is Jewish, but all

the modern day translations have the word; “god” or “gods” in

lower case. So the anti-christ could be of any decent.

You have probably heard it said that the Jews killed the Christ,

or it was they that had him crucified. Well what about the Roman

60 soldiers and Pilate? They were Gentiles. The “anti-christ spirit” that is in all people had its part in it. Are we not all descendants of

Adam and Eve? Both Jew and Gentile? Could not Pilate being

Governor say I will not allow innocent blood to be shed for no good reason other than jealousy? Sure he could have. Wasn’t he the Governor under Caesar?

The reason Jesus Christ died was because that was what the

Father sent Him to do. Christ was willing to lay down His life for us because He loved us. He did not have to die; He was God, but

He wanted to die so that you and I could live, by our faith and trust in Him and what He did for us.

So the Jewish people did not kill Jesus, and the anti-christ is not

Jewish but Iraqi.

61

“The King of the North (Dan. 11:6

(KJV)—will he be from Syria”?

The anti-christ will come from the Syrian kingdom, but not as we know it today. To be able to understand just where he comes from, we will have to examine a little history. But first, let me show you the formula. The majority of the teachings on the anti- christ come from the book of Daniel and the book of Revelation.

Daniel 8:8 (KJV) states; “Therefore the he goat waxed very great and when he was strong, the great horn was broken and from it came up four notable ones toward the four winds of heaven.” All

Bible scholars agree that the he goat was “Alexander the Great”.

“The great horn was broken,” as Alexander died at the young age of 34. Alexander had four captains that took control of his very large empire. “And for it came up four notable ones toward the four winds of heaven. Each captain took a fourth of the

62 Grecian kingdom, which today would be known as Syria, Egypt,

Greece and Turkey.”

The book of Daniel was written around 500 B.C. to 600 B.C., and Alexander the Great died in about 390 B.C. During all this time, were there any other names given to Iraq? How about

Mesopotamia? Well, Mesopotamia, in ancient geography, was a country of western Asia, situated between two rivers—the

Euphrates and the Tigris. It is called in the Old Testament,

ARAMNAHARAIM, or “Syria between the two waters”, and

PADAMARAM, “Syria of the Plain.” But today is known as Iraq.

Oh! Yes I forgot to list his other title: “King of Babylon,” Isaiah

14:4 (KJV). So in summary we have dispelled the three major myths. The Bible does not teach that the anti-christ is a man of peace. Quite the contrary, let’s look at Daniel 11:38 (KJV) which states: “But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces; and a god whom his fathers knew not, shall he honour with gold, and

63 silver and with precious stones and pleasant things.”

The Living Bible gives a clear picture of him: “Instead of these he will worship the Fortress god—a god his fathers never knew and lavish on him costly gifts.” When you take the words force and fortress and lavish a lot of money on them, you are usually going to war with someone. We have proved he is not Jewish, and that he is from the Syria of Mesopotamia known as modern day

Iraq.

64

CHAPTER FIVE

THE ANTI-CHRIST REVEALED

I started to read the prophecies of Nostradamus and the Lord showed me three things. The first was in the tenth century, prophecy nine: The word “Posthumous” means his father died prior to his birth. “Never a King so evil or Worse in his providence this posthumous one.” The history on Saddam Hussein, vague as it is, supports the fact his father died before he was born.

The next two prophecies will dispel any doubt about its accuracy with this statement from Second Corinthians 13:1 (KJV):

“In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.”

The second prophecy is found in the first century, prophecy fifty, which talks of a man “making or celebrating “THURSDAY”

65 as his holiday, and his acclaim, praise, rule and power shall grow

on sea and land bringing trouble to the Middle East.”

On April 28, 1983, Saddam Hussein declared his birthday a

national holiday which was on a THURSDAY.

The third prophecy the Lord showed to me caused me to

become white as a ghost. I thought I was going to faint, and many

others I have showed this to has had a similar reaction. So please sit down before you read any further.

The second century prophecy sixty-two NAMES Nostradamus’ third anti-christ. The name is in “anagram form”. It speaks of a leader coming on the scene a short time and dying, and it speaks of animals and people dying. Will this be some sort of nuclear war which kills men and beast? Nostradamus connects this prophecy around the time of the comet. And he names the third anti-christ

Mabus.

66

Now the name Mabus is an anagram—a word hidden in a word, and Nostradamus was known to use anagrams on more than one occasion. He used the word Hister which was Hitler. I did not have to play with this Mabus at all; the Lord showed this to me the first time. This word put in a mirror spells “Sudam, SUDAM”!

What does all this mean? That we are headed for a war, and not just any war but the WAR OF WARS. The battle that is so fierce and bad that Jesus Christ himself has to end it. The name of this war is found in the final book of the Bible, Revelations. The name of this war is called the BATTLE OF ARMAGEDDON, the war that is so bad that if God did not intervene, the anti-christ would destroy the entire world.

The other things God has revealed fit together like a big puzzle.

Do you remember when I was dispelling that the anti-christ would be a man of peace, and where the peace would not really be peace

67 but a false sense of security? After the Gulf War was won so easy, everyone has forgotten the One who made that possible for us we were all praying.

The world now has a false sense of security in their hearts about the “King of Babylon.” But some other things need to be examined.

“The Wounded Head”

The final book of the Bible, the Apocalypse known as the book of Revelations, says other things about the Beast that will try to destroy God’s creation. Revelation 13:3 (KJV) recounts: “And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed’ and all the world wondered after the beast.”

All Bible scholars agree that the heads are symbolic of kingdoms or nations. “His kingdom Iraq, the wounded head of the

68 beast!”

The wound will be healed when the spirit of the dragon

(SATAN) takes total possession of the anti-christ, and all the world will wonder after the “Beast”.

One last error I must correct is that the anti-christ will make a

seven year agreement with Israel. That scripture is found in Daniel

9:27 (KJV): “and he shall confirm the covenant with many for one

week (seven years) and in the midst of the week he shall cause the

sacrifice and the oblation to cease and for the over spreading of

abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the

consummation and that determined shall be poured upon the

desolate”.

The teaching that goes along with the above is that the anti-

christ himself will make a seven year agreement with Israel, and in

the middle of the seven years he will break the agreement. This

69 teaching comes from the book of Daniel, which consist of

prophecies occurring over a certain number of years that we are to

expect. The teachings evolve around seventy weeks, which is

found in Daniel 9:24 (KJV) , the death of Jesus Christ being the

end of the sixty-ninth week, with the seventieth week coming with an agreement between Israel and the anti-christ.

What God has shown me is that the word “CONFIRM” is found

thirty-one times in the Bible, and the word found in Daniel 9:27 is

the only one in the Bible that has the Hebrew word meaning:

“strengthen.”

I believe there will be a seven year agreement made in the

Middle East most likely involving Syria and the Palestinians, and

the issue will be about the Palestinians. However it works, it will be for seven years and will have to do with the Palestinians.

Remember when Iraq had invaded Kuwait and the U.N.

70 Security Council was demanding that Iraq withdraw from Kuwait because they had no right to be there? Saddam Hussein’s excuse

for being there was: “Israel is illegally occupying Palestinian land,

and I will withdraw from Kuwait if Israel withdraws from the West

Bank.” Remember?

Now what I believe after the seven year agreement is made between Israel and the Palestinians, the news media will ask

Saddam Hussein what he thinks of the agreement and he will say,

“If the Palestinians have agreed to a seven year agreement that gives them some rights, I support the agreement”.

At that time, my friend, he (as the anti-christ) just “confirmed” or “strengthened” that seven year agreement which he will violate three and a half years later when he attacks Jerusalem.

71

The Rapture

I have all ready given the scripture that is used to teach about the rapture. The next question I am sure everybody is asking is

“When?”

There are three theories about when the rapture takes place: the pre-tribulation, the mid-tribulation, and the post-tribulation. The first means that the Church is caught up or raptured before the tribulation starts; the second one teaches the Church will be snatched away three and half years after it starts just prior to the last three and half years which is known as the “Great Tribulation”

(Matt. 24:21); the third teaches that the Church goes through the entire tribulation.

Well I am going to give you another theory, and it is called the

Pan-tribulation rapture theory, which means no matter how God wants to do it, it will all “pan out.”

72

You may be asking, “How do I get involved so I do not miss

this rapture, whenever it is?” Did you know that you have asked

the same question a Jewish Pharisee (Rabbi or Priest) named

Nicodemus asked? In John 3:3 (KJV): “Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be “born again”, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

The Bible teaches that “Nicodemus came to Jesus,” (verse one).

So in order to be born again, you MUST come to Jesus! Is that all

you have to do? Well let’s see what Gods Word says. What else

did Nicodemus do?

John 7:50-51 shows where Nicodemus testified for Jesus or on

Jesus behalf, (quoting from the Living Bible) “Then Nicodemus

spoke up, ‘Is it legal to convict a man before he is even tried? He

asked?” So he testified on Jesus’ behalf.

73 The last example we have is found in John 19:39 (LB):

“Nicodemus, the man who had come to Jesus at night, came too, bringing a hundred pounds of embalming ointment made from myrrh and aloes.”

So for a quick review, YOU MUST COME TO JESUS AND

BE BORN AGAIN, you must TESTIFY and WITNESS for Him, or tell others about Him, and DO SERVICE for Him.

Let me give you a few suggestions. Do not go to a church that

does not teach the Bible. I have been in some so-called churches

and they talk about everything but the Bible. Talk with the Pastor

or Priest, and ask them what you must do to be saved. If they say,

“Join the church,” watch out, run and find a Bible believing and

Bible teaching church. But if they say, “YOU MUST BE BORN

AGAIN,” or “YOU MUST ACCEPT JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR

LORD AND PERSONAL SAVIOR,” join that CHURCH! Buy yourself a Bible, preferably a modern translation, and after you buy

74 a Bible, then read it everyday. Start with the New Testament, and ask the sweet Holy Spirit to help you understand what you are

reading. Now, ask the Holy Spirit to teach you how to pray.

If you are backslidden, which means you knew the Lord at one

time, but He is not “number one” in your life any more, then

repent. I quote Revelation 2:5 (KJV): “Remember, therefore, from

whence thou art fallen, and repent (to turn from sin and resolve to

reform one’s life), and to do the first works; or else I will come

unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place,

except thou repent.”

When a lot of people read this book they will laugh, but they

have been WARNED.

75

CHAPTER SIX

THE WORD OF THE LORD

You may be asking yourself, why has God given me until the twelfth hour and then let me know what He is doing? Well, God has a word for you.

“It is because of my great Love that I have for “you”! But know this the line has been drawn in the sand, and now you must choose. If you are with Me come to My side, if you are against Me stay on your side, but know this I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked. And to those that straddle the line, choose. You are either with Me or against Me, there is no more in-between, chose

Me and My ways and live. The things I have prepared for you, you could never imagine, as it is written: ‘eye hath not seen nor ear hath heard things that I have prepared for you.’

“My kingdom is an eternal kingdom where there is no more

76 sorrow or pain or hurting, but peace, the peace of God. The road set before you leads to Me and My kingdom, the road you follow is the road to eternal doom. If I could, I would make you serve Me, but I cannot, for it is not My way. Just as you would want to make a rebellious son or daughter come to your way of thinking, you will not make him if you could because it would not be his will, but it would be your will. You nor I would have any pleasure in that.

“My hand is stretched to the needy, but it will strike the wicked.

It will pound the wicked into the dust. Eternity is waiting for you.

Choose life and not death this day.

“The nation of America hear the word of the Lord; in the streets

of hell they say you are the one that kill the babies that belong to

God. My creation, my children which I have created for my

pleasure, are being flushed into my throne room. They are mine

and not yours. I have entrusted you with my children and you have

77 destroyed them. For political and selfish reasons, you have killed my babies.

“I blessed you with the greatest blessing known to this earth.

You cried out to me during the Gulf War, and I answered thee and delivered thee. But as a man would stick his fingers in his ears so not to hear and cover his eyes with his hands so not to see, that is the way I will be when you cry to me from henceforth.

“How soon thou forget the blessing of the Lord? Well now the

Lord forgets thee. Cry to me no more. Yours ways will come upon thee, but to my people who endure the battle against the abortionist, hang on for I will come quickly and deliver you.

“Many of my people have not bowed their knees to Baal, and those, my people I will keep, but the backslider and the ungodly I will judge. Is it not written: ‘it is a fearful thing to fall into the hand of the Living God?’

78

“Mockers are rising up and boldly saying “Where is the promise of his coming?” Is it not written that as in the days of

Noah, so shall it be in days of my return? When I shut Noah up in the ark they laughed, but when the rains came and they tried in

vain to save themselves, I laughed and cried. Two will be together

and I will take one—all the time wanting to take both but they will

not let me because they insist on walking in their own ways.

“How long, Oh Man, will you harden your hearts against Me and My ways? Can not we reason together? Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow, though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. If ye be willing and obedient, ye

shall eat the good of the land; but if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be

devoured with the sword.”

Now the rest of what I must share with you is what the Lord has

give me. Now just knowing who anti-christ is and that the Day of

79 the Lord is upon us is not enough. God’s Message to this great country and to His Church must be heard and heeded too, if we are to expect the blessing of God. Because if not, we will suffer the

Great Tribulation.

“Does God Still Talk To People?”

I believe God’s Word is heard daily throughout America and the world. The Bible, in MT 24:12 (KJV), says: “Because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.” The Living Bible says: “Sin will be rampant everywhere and will cool the love of many!” The reasons we don’t hear God are all around us. This country has sins on top of sins. The Church people are hanging in the bars, or at the racetrack, or playing golf, or at the lake—they are everywhere but in the HOUSE OF GOD! Some churches are even trying to ordain gay ministers!

Our government suffers with corruption, and even the church

80 has problems. Some preachers are liars, telling you anything you want to hear for a donation. And too many televangelists are under investigation or in jail or defrocked from their denomination because of sin!

Abortion is available on demand, politicians exploit their positions, neighbors hate neighbor, murder, adultery, drugs, and crime go unchecked. Every sin man can dream of is being done in broad daylight. Where is our shame? God speaks of these times in

Romans 1:32 (LB): “They were fully aware of God’s death penalty for these crimes, yet they went right ahead and did them anyway, and encouraged others to do them, too!”

Let me share an experience with you. One night I was watching television and all of a sudden I just started crying. It wasn’t the show, it was God, so I got up turned the television off and started to pray. The Lord seemed troubled when He told me: “Mick, they won’t stop killing my babies.” It was as if He was crying and kept

81 saying, “Mick, they won’t stop killing my babies. Tell them Mick, to STOP, I am coming back, tell them Mick, Tell them Mick, where they fall is where they’ll lay. Tell them to stop killing my babies!”

God’s heart is broken because of our hardness of heart towards abortion and our passive attitudes about it. This country was born by God, for God, and for the most part we have turned it into a haven for devils, especially the spirit Molech.

The one sin God hates with a passion is abortion. Abortionists need to listen to the Word of the Lord: “I hate your sin and if thou do not repent, I, the Lord God, will crush your heads, just as thou hast taken the forceps and crushed my babies heads, except thou repent. To the mothers who have forsaken my ways, Mother thy baby is crying for thee, “MAMMA, MAMMA, MAMMA!” What a perverse generation; what if I had aborted YOU? What if I did not want YOU? And except thou repent, thy baby is crying,

82 “MAMA, MAMA, MAMA.

“For those in Government because thou hast voted against ME

on the issue of abortion, I now vote against thee. Who can stand

against the Lord thy God?

This country’s leaders honor me with their lips but their hearts are far from me. All Parties are having a party and except thou repent, it is the Lord God whom will have the FINAL PARTY!

“The true Saints of God cry, ‘How long oh Lord will thou delay thy judgments and thy coming?’ The Lord Thy God would say, ‘I am well pleased with thee and my blessing endureth forever; hold fast for my reward and crowns are awaiting thee.’ But to the ungodly and the sinner I say unto thee, unless thou repent my hand shall be against thee, hear my voice, do not test the longsuffering of the Lord!

83 “To the homosexual I say, “I love thee, but I hate thy ways.

Except thou repent, I will afflict thee with the incurable and cause thee to suffer much affliction. And to the defiant who says, ‘I am not afraid of God.’ Well know thou, oh fool, that I am not afraid of thee and except thou repent, thou shalt be turned over to the tormentors. To the abortionist, as it is written: eye hath not seen nor ear hath heard nor has it entered into the heart of man, the things the Lord has prepared for those that love him. But to you those that would follow the spirit of Molech and sacrifice my babies to Baal, hear the word of the Lord: eye hath not seen nor has ear heard, nor has it entered into the heart of those who do not repent. Just as I give rewards and crowns to those who follow my ways, to those who do not repent, I shall give thee levels and degrees of eternal punishment. Thou shalt be cast to the lowest level and the worst degree. I shall curse thy children and thy children’s children, except thou repent,” saith the Lord. “Behold I stand at the door and knock and if any shall open the door, I shall come in and give thee eternal blessing and eternal life."

Am I responsible to God for the

Salvation of my Family and Others?

As I write on July 22, 1991, James Baker is in the Middle East

trying to put together the “Peace Plan” that is very possibly talked

about in Daniel 9:27.

If this is the agreement that the antichrist confirms (or strengthens), and if those that teach the pre-tribulation rapture theory are correct, maybe you can see why this book has been

rushed. I am not sure if either of the above are correct: only God

knows.

85 The Cut Toe

This morning my daughter cut her big toe very badly, and I had to rush her to the doctor’s office for seven stitches. In my mind I was really complaining to the Lord. I was wondering how much time was left before the Rapture. I hated to be interrupted with an

emergency such as this. Don’t get me wrong, I love my daughter

with all my heart as she is very special to me and you might say

she is the apple of my eye.

At the doctor’s office the nurse was more concerned about me

than they were my little girl. The nurses kept making me sit down

and asking if I was all right. They said I was pale. When the

doctor started giving my daughter shots directly in the wound to

numb it so he could stitch the toe, my child let out some screams

that made me want to cry. But I could not because I had to be

strong for my daughter. It was very hard to sit there while holding

her and listening to her screaming and crying. If possible I would

86 have taken the pain myself, just not to see her suffer!

While driving her home the Lord spoke to me and said,

“Mickey; tell them that what you just went through will be a small

taste of what will go on in eternity! Tell the parents that I will hold

them responsible for their children. And for the parents to picture in their minds “The Worst Case Scenario” of their children suffering, screaming, crying and asking, “Why Daddy, Mamma didn’t you tell me about this place? Why Mamma, Daddy did you not teach about JESUS? Why Daddy, Mamma didn’t you take us to Church and teach me how to pray and read the Bible and walk in

His Ways? The father will blame the mother and the mother will blame the father; yet, they shall hear the screams and crying of their children while suffering themselves forever in the place that the worm never dies and fire burns forever—the LAKE OF FIRE.

“But know ye not, that I the Lord thy God did not prepare that place for you, but for the devil and his fallen angels and for those

87 who insist on following in Satan’s ways. If you choose to walk in your own ways and your name is not found in the Book of Life, then you and yours will spend forever and ever in that forbidden place where there is weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth.

And your crying only shall be heard by your loved ones whose names are not found in the LAMB’S BOOK OF LIFE.”

If a house was on fire and you were passing by and noticed the house is burning, and that people were in the house sleeping upstairs, what would you do? Would you walk up to the door and knock lightly, afraid of disturbing the occupants, or would you scream and holler and bang on the door loudly making as much noise as possible to arouse the sleeping occupants?

Well that is what God is doing through me and this book— trying to make as much noise as possible to get your attention and

WAKE YOU UP!

88 The book of Jude states in verse 23, from the Living Bible:

“Save some by snatching them as from the very flames of hell itself. And as for others, help them to the Lord by being kind to them, but be careful that you yourselves aren’t pulled along into their sins. Hate every trace of their sin while being merciful to them as sinners”.

The King James translation states: “And others save with

FEAR, pulling them out of the FIRE; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.”

I believe this book is tough because it is God’s last minute appeal to those who will listen. God does not want one single person to die in their sins and go to hell. In Second Peter 3:9

(KJV), God states: “The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness: but is long-suffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but all should come to repentance.”

89 I know some will say that this book could not be from God because of the harshness of the message. Well, I will ask you a question. What if you let your only child die in another persons place? If a person who was in the wrong place at the wrong time, and not really bad was condemned to death, if you had great love for this person, would you decide to let your only child die in this person’s stead?

If you did this, you would feel that you had a friend who owed you his very life. What if this person then acted cold towards you and when pressed, thumbed his nose at you, acting as if his gift was no big deal? You’re only begotten child suffered for nothing.

You would be crushed and devastated by this after what you had done. Now why cannot God the Father feel the same way? This is exactly how we make Him feel. Sad isn’t it?

90 “A Word to the Teenager”

I was in the book store the other day and two teenage girls were

talking about the books they had on witchcraft. The Great Father

God wants to say a few words to you: “I have created you for me;

You feel that no one understands what you are going through. I the Lord knows every small detail about you. I know about the first blemish that appeared on your face. I was there on your first date, but do not be afraid because I am for you and not against you.

Since you can remember all you ever heard about me was in a negative vain, but know this I am the One you have been searching for. You’re drinking and drugging and witchcraft is a search for

Me. You think that sex will fill that space in your heart that I have made for Myself.

“I can understand your confusion; adults say one thing and do another. There is a war going on within your mind, and this warfare is created by the Devil, his desire is to ruin your life and to

91 keep you from Me. But if you have an ear to hear My voice, listen.

I will set you in a place where none can hurt you; I will walk and

talk with thee forever. I will give ye much wisdom and show you

the truth that you seek after. I will answer your prayers. I will put

you in a mighty place and you shall lead other to Me, and the

warfare even though at times is great, know this: that I have

overcome the enemy and we shall prevail. I send you forth as

SOLDIERS, mighty warriors of the Living God. The enemy

thinks that he is winning but I, the Lord, have not sounded the

trumpet to call my warriors to battle as YE ARE THE LORDS

WARRIORS.

“My mighty Holy Spirit prepares for war, and not just any war

but the war that cost the souls of men. The enemy has them bound

and they cannot break free, but We shall break the chains of the devil.

“I call you now to enlist in the Lord’s Army. We shall conquer

92 and pull the enemy’s strongholds down. Many of the adults of this generation have failed, and that is why I appeal to thee! When you call upon Me, I will answer and show thee great and mighty things.

When thou calls Me I will give thee a new heart, not a stony heart, but a heart of flesh and ye shall also receive My Spirit. And I will

equip thee to do great warfare for Me.

“Tell them, that at the name of “JESUS; EVERY KNEE,

EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW BEFORE THAT NAME AND

THAT EVERY TONGUE SHALL CONFESS THAT JESUS

CHRIST IS LORD.” Seek the Lord while He may be found, while

it is still LIGHT because the darkness shall be here, and we must work while it is still DAY, because no man can work in the darkness. I call MY SONS AND DAUGHTERS to the warfare

that holds the greatest trophy of all—the souls of men and women

for eternity. The reason I have called thee is because the adults

have dropped the TORCH. They either have grown lukewarm in

their love for Me, or they never have been responsible enough to

93 seek Me.

“Behold, I have my reward with Me to give unto My

SOLDIERS. I call not the faint hearted nor the wicked but I call

My true SONS AND DAUGHTERS. They who have an ear to

hear should hear.”

The voice of the Great General of the Heavens says: “Do not

draw back from Me because my soul has no pleasure in those who

draw back. And to the parents of my WARRIORS, I say repent.

Seek the Lord while He may be found, know ye not that thy sins shall only last a season, a very short season; Is it not written that

“My spirit will not always strive with mankind?” And oh Parent know ye not that you are trying the patience of the Most High

God? Do not harden thy hearts but look to Me and I will save thee from thy sins and the Wicked One and thyself. To the fool that says in his heart that this is not a Word from the Lord, He says:

"Thou Fool, who can know the mind and heart of the Lord, if thou

94 has not inquired of the Lord and sought the mind and the heart of the Lord thy God”! But wisdom is justified by the children that use it.”

Whew! Mom and Dad, these are some strong words from the

Lord. It seems we have dropped the baton, and God is calling our children to pick it up. It might be a good idea if we repent and seek the Lord before the darkness comes and light is gone forever.

To the pastors, preachers and teachers of God, listen to the word of the Lord: “There is sin in my camp, and thou hast not sought me as thou knowest thou should. Thou has not taught the Word of the

Lord that thou knowest to. Thou hast kept thy eye on the offering plate and hast said in thy heart, ‘if only I tell them good things, easy things, then more will come and my offering will be bigger.

And if I don’t offend any I myself will be popular, and who knows where it will end? Thou slothful, disobedient servant! Did thou knowest if you bury thy talent I will take from thee what thou

95 thinkest thou has. Dead preachers preaching dead sermons to dead people. Repent before I remove thy candlestick from thy place, and thy name be removed from the Book of Life unless thou repent.

“The teachers of my Word hear the Lord thy God: “Thou would teachest that I wink at sin; that I will not hold ALL accountable for their actions. But know this—I do hold ALL accountable. And thou that would teach the doctrines of Baal, be SURE I will hold

THEE, accountable unto Me,” saith God. “Hear how terrible the sins are that thou winkest at. I sent my only begotten Son to die for thee and to break the spirit of sin from thee, that thou would not be bound by Satan. The sin issue has been resolved by My Son’s death, but ye seek to crucify Him over and over and over again and again. Do not mock or tempt the Lord thy God. Repent and seek

Me, and I will restore thee to even a greater glory, and thou shall

teach my people. Here is the way of the Lord; walk ye in it! And

to those that refuse to repent, ye are twice dead, doomed forever

96 and ever because thou has not obeyed the voice of the Most High.”

The Lord is upset with some of His Church leaders. The Lord wanted me to tell you that there are many that walk and teach others to walk in His ways, but you know if you have really sought the Lord about what you are doing and tried to get the heart and the mind of the Lord. And to those that do please Him, just hang on because the time is very short.

Many good people will be in Hell! How can I say this?

Because we cannot judge things by the way the worlds standards are, for the Word of God states in Romans 3:23 (KJV): “all have sinned and come short of the glory of God”. If we are to judge, we must judge according to the Bible.

The Lord also showed me there will be a lot of people in hell that had great intentions, and if you have to think about whether you are saved or born again, then most likely you are not ready to

97 meet the Lord.

The Lord said, “I know you are frightened, but do no t be

afraid. The terror of this message was not meant for you, only for

those whom insist on walking in their own ways. But to you, the

one I love, I will not hurt you; I love you and I have been with thee

all the days of your life. I was there when you were born, I caused

it, and do not think that I am mad at you, no, not for one minute. If

I had to send My only Son back to die for you, I would!

Because you are worth it to Me; do you not understand how much

I love you? When the others were laughing and you were crying, I

was crying with you.

“I have numbered and counted every hair on your head. I know

how many teeth you have and don’t have. I know you fears and your sorrows. I have been by your side always.

“There has been a place prepared for you—a mansion in My

98 kingdom where the streets are paved with pure gold, and the

LIGHT always shines. There is no darkness, no pain and suffering, nor sorrow; just peace—My Peace, which I give to thee.

“You will be with Me, the “Father Of All Life.” Just as you produce children, I have made you for My own joy. I could care less if you have an education, or if you are popular, or rich and famous, or if you are fat or too thin or too short or tall. You are beautiful to Me. Perfect in every way without a spot or blemish.

As a father in your realm would see his child as perfect, I the

Father of Life, see my children as perfect. In My Kingdom, life is forever, and I will hold you, and caress you and protect you and meet your every need. You shall be my child and I will be your

Father.

“You shall partake of the Tree of Life and the Tree of

Knowledge. I have new names for you and a new glorified body.

You shall partake of the Living Waters, all your debts will be

99 canceled, and your sins I shall remember no more.

“Call on Me this day and lift your eyes to My only begotten

Son, and thou shalt be saved and we shall make our abode with

thee. Thou shalt be given My precious Holy Spirit, who will abide with thee forever.

“He will lead and guide you into all truth. He will comfort you

as a Mother would comfort her child. He will teach you the ways

of the Everlasting. He is the One you sense at this present time.

As you would open yourself up to Him, you would see through His

eyes. The scales would fall to the ground, and ye shall cry “Abba

Father,” and I shall answer thee “My blessed child.” Your enemies

will become My enemies; I will lead you to the Promise Land.

“I will bless and prosper everything you put your hand too. I

will create a new spirit and new heart within you. The ways of

your father you will cease to walk in, and I shall plant thy feet on

100 the rock and guide you down the straight path. I shall be your

shelter during the storm, and nothing shall by any means harm

thee. I shall provide for thee; I shall make a way where there seems to be no way; I shall open the prison doors, the chains shall drop to the ground and thou shall be free in Me.

“I will cure all your ills. Is it not written that the righteous is not forsaken and His children are not seen begging for bread?

“I will protect you from that Evil One for his days are numbered. He is doomed forever, and he knows the time is short, so he rages and makes great noise. But be not afraid, for My angels will be placed around thee to protect thee. You see the battle is not yours, but it is Mine and I shall move mightily in your behalf.

“So, trust not in another, call not on another; call on Me and I will answer thee and show thee great and mighty things that thou

101 knowest not.

“The hour is short, and behold I stand at the door of heart and knock. Do not delay thy hour of salvation; answer the door and I shall come in with the peace you searched for all thy life. But I must warn thee the hour is short, so harden not your heart.

Because of My great love for thee, I have opened your eyes. So remember, call upon Me and I shall answer thee and I shall show thee great and mighty things that thou knowest not, and shall be with thee and show thee My way which is the true way; which is the way of love, true love and eternal life.”

I know this book will scare you to death, but what God has shown me is His great love for us. I know He has said some pretty tough things, but those sayings are for those who don’t wish to know Him.

He has shown me that there are some who would rather follow

102 their father, which is Satan, and they love their sins more than they

love God. There are those who will defy God no matter what He

does for them.

God has shown me in a vision what shall become of those who

hate His ways. In the vision, there was a giant huge lake that was burning, and there were people all along the shore of the great lake of fire. They looked terrified, knowing their fate was sealed.

Doomed forever, awaiting the great judgment of God. The Bible calls it the Great White Throne Judgment. Let me share what

Revelation 20:11-15 (KJV) states: “And I saw a great white throne, and Him that sat on it from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I

saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books

were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of

life; and the dead were judged out of those things which were

written in the books, according to their works.

103 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were

judged every man according to their works.

And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the

second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book

of life was cast into the lake of fire.”

But God has also shown me that many will come to Him, and

your name must be found in the Book of Life. The only way to get

your name in the Book of Life is through Jesus Christ; there is no

other way. I repeat there is no other way.

I was told the other day at work that I cannot or should not

share my faith at work. The reason given was there were other

people that worked with us that weren’t of the Christian faith. I

told that gentleman that I would have to stand before God and look

my friends in the eyes just before they were bound hand and foot

104 and cast out, into the Lake of Fire, where there is weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth. They would look me in the eye screaming and crying aloud, “Mickey, you knew what God was doing, and you failed to tell me.” In my mind I could see their faces, and that is one of the reasons I am writing this book.

I don’t know you, but I do know I will see you some day, and I believe that when I meet you, we will be in heaven, not being judged, but receiving our rewards from the Lord.

Know that God loves the homosexual, the murderers, the liars, the pimps and prostitutes, the dope dealers and users, those who are in prison, the child molesters, those that hate without cause, and those who would stir up strife. He also loves those that would be sorcerers and witches, and those that worship idols, those who would steal and the covetous, and the drunkard, and the church goers that has not been born again. Also the person that does not fall in any of the above, who believes themselves to be a good

105 person but does not know Him.

To these people who he loves, but who are still lost, He calls,

“Repent and be ye converted and I shall write your names in the

Book of Life.”

To those that will not turn to the Lord, the backsliders, the lukewarm and the sinner, the Lord would want me to share this with you. It is found in the book of Second Thessalonians 2:10-12.

I am quoting from the Living Bible, “He will completely fool those

who are on their way to hell because they have said, NO, to the

Truth, they have refused to believe it and love it and let it save

them, so God will allow them to believe lies with all their hearts,

and all of them will be justly judged for believing falsehood, refusing the Truth, and enjoying their sins.”

If you have an ear to hear, God says, “He will be your refuge during the “Storm”.

106

And if any fail to heed the warning’s of God, I am free from the

blood of all men, because I have not failed to declare unto you the

whole counsel of God.

In closing let me say that God is Love. He created love and He is total unbiased love. But His ways are only found in the Holy

Bible, and we must come to Him through Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of the Living God.

I think it’s only proper that the final words of this book be that of Revelations 22:17 (KJV); “And the Spirit and the Bride say,

Come, and let him that heareth say, Come, and let him that is athirst Come, and whosoever will, let him take the WATER OF

LIFE freely.”
