May 2009, Nations from the Middle East Were Again Meeting in Washington to Discuss New Peace Talks INTRODUCTION What are you watching on the nightly news? You see reports on these following issues: Plagues, wars, civil wars, famines, starvation, major earthquakes, Earth’s ozone layer is breaking down, glaciers are melting at record paces, droughts, all kinds of huge storms, roaring seas and raging tides, hurricanes, massive flooding, murders climbing, drugs busts worldwide, teenage violence and the rise of crimes such as murder, Israeli and PLO peace talks have begun, European Union’s rise to a Superpower status, the forming of the Asian Union and the African Union as well as new talk of a North American Union, new biochip implants under the skin enabling people to be monitored and tracked, National ID’s by 2008 in the form of a driver license, false prophets, and men claiming they are the Christ, decrease in food levels, Russia regains military power, Iran warning they will wipe Israel of the face of the map and, the constant threat of a Middle East nuclear war. What you may have not realized is Jesus Christ gave specific details on every one of these issues and more. These issues are the fulfillment of prophecies listed in the bible, and they all have to do with our generation. Jesus stated, “So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. Verily I say unto you, this generation shall not pass till all these things be fulfilled” (Matthew 24:33-34). Most of the people watching the news are unaware what they are watching is in fact fulfillment of Bible prophecy. My book gives you the evidence our generation is in fact the one Christ referred to in the scripture above. Jesus told us there would be a specific generation who would see all these things (prophecies) occurring at the same time. This is the first time in history all these things are beginning to happen. Christ also warned, “And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh” (Luke 21:28). This is a warning to all, be ready for the Lord’s 2nd coming. I spent 29 years compiling proof to demonstrate just how close this generation is to witnessing the return of Jesus Christ. Have you been searching for proof Jesus is the one and only True Savior? Do you want to know for sure if what Jesus warned us in prophecy is really taking place? Since Jesus claims to be the only one who controls life after death, it is to our best interest to check the facts, proof, and evidence in this book. If you aren’t walking with Jesus your eternal life right now is at stake. Not only will you find the answers to these questions, you will learn of what to expect in the very near future as well. Everything Christ has told us is being fulfilled! I didn’t write this book to take the place of the Bible, but rather to point you to the Bible. It is my prayer my work for Christ will lead you into a new life in Christ where you will find peace in a very troubled world. From here on things are going to intensify, you will need to be close to Christ during this time in our history. Jesus knew we would need to come together as believers in the end times to get strength from one another. Christ through Paul said, “Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching” (Hebrews 10:25). That day is now coming quickly; I encourage you to find a place to fellowship. I must warn you now, the contents in this book will scare you, but these are the facts. You will find out you are scared because it is all-true, but you must realize this fact as well, “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever” (Psalm 111:10). If you haven’t received Christ as your Savior yet He is waiting for you to do so, after all, He died on the cross so you could enter His Kingdom. I pray the Holy Spirit instructs you as you read this book. Our Lord will be with all who seek Him; it is His promise to you. i TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter 1.

Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred three score and six”, or 666 (Revelation 13:16-18). “And the third angel followed them, crying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and who-soever receiveth the mark of his name” (Revelation 14:9- 11). "And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years" (Revelation 20:4). Explanation: Each chapter has a time line you will be following. The time line will demonstrate where we have come from in the past concerning each prophecy. My time line will bring you up to speed with events taking place in 2007. It is very interesting to observe how God has been working to fulfill all of His prophecies. Every document of evidence is quoted. Many of the quotes have misspelled words. When you quote from outside sources you are required to print them exactly as they are. This particular prophecy has not yet been completely fulfilled; however, the system (the global economy) and method the beast (the Antichrist) may use has already been developed through advanced technologies. Soon a world leader will rise up from the European Community and take control of our global problems, both political and economic. Something must take place on a global scale to facilitate his rise to power. First there must be the formation of a one-world government, which has already begun. Second, once this one world government is established there must be a method put in place to control all the people in this one world government. If the earth were to be thrown into a global recession or worse...depression, the leaders of the world would be searching for answers and/or someone who would lead them out of the crisis. Before showing you how the world has been progressing toward a cashless society I want to show you how America is declining. Once the U.S. dollar falls it will help to speed up this one world government process. On September 20, 1982 I read an article written in the U.S. News & World Report in which they sited a section of John J. Fialka’s work written in the Wall Street Journal. Mr. Fialka wrote a fictional script on how a global world banking bust could come about. The following is one of the plots Fialka gives which could cause the collapse. “On Dec, 1982, a small Hong Kong lending company, Global Vista Finance Co., quietly closes its doors. For months it had been aggressively plunging most of its $7 million in borrowed money into the Hong Kong real-estate market, which is now collapsing.

As principais características dos ‘Homoptera’ e dos Formicidae que favorecem as interações trofobióticas, tais como a excreção de honeydew por insetos sugadores, atendimento por formigas e necessidades fisiológicas dos dois grupos de insetos, são discutidas. Aspectos da sua evolução convergente são apresenta- dos. O sistema mais arcaico não é exatamente trofobiótico, as forrageadoras coletam o honeydew despejado ao acaso na folhagem por indivíduos ou grupos de ‘Homoptera’ não associados. As relações trofobióticas mais comuns são facultativas, no entanto, esta forma de mutualismo é extremamente diversificada e é responsável por numerosas adaptações fisiológicas, morfológicas ou comportamentais entre os ‘Homoptera’, em particular Sternorrhyncha. As trofobioses mais diferenciadas são verdadeiras simbioses onde as adaptações mais extremas são observadas do lado dos ‘Homoptera’. Ao mesmo tempo, as formigas mostram adaptações comportamentais que resultam de um longo período de coevolução. Considerando-se os inse- tos sugadores como principais pragas dos cultivos em nível mundial, as implicações das rela- ções trofobióticas são discutidas no contexto das comunidades de insetos em geral, focalizan- do os problemas que geram em Manejo Integrado de Pragas (MIP), em particular.

  • Bt Crops: Predicting Effects of Escaped Transgenes on the Fitness of Wild Plants and Their Herbivores
    Environ. Biosafety Res. 2 (2003) 219–246 © ISBR, EDP Sciences, 2004 DOI: 10.1051/ebr:2003014 Bt crops: Predicting effects of escaped transgenes on the fitness of wild plants and their herbivores Deborah K. LETOURNEAU1,*, Gaden S. ROBINSON2 and Joy A. HAGEN1 1 Department of Environmental Studies, University of California, Santa Cruz, USA 2 Department of Entomology, The Natural History Museum, London, UK One prominent concern about genetically modified crops is the possibility of environmental impacts from the movement of fitness-enhancing traits to wild plant populations. Decisions to deregulate Bt crops in the USA have relied strongly on arguments that these crops will not interbreed with wild relatives in the permitted growing regions. Limited attention therefore has been directed to analyses of the consequences of gene flow. To provide a transparent evaluation process for risks associated with insecticidal transgene escape, we crafted a series of questions designed to guide this aspect of the risk assessment. We then explored the current knowledge base available for answering such risk-related questions for three Bt crops (cotton, rapeseed, and rice). First, we generated a list of wild relatives of these crops. A definitive list of potential transgene recipients is not yet possible for some crops. Sufficient data are not available for some crops to eliminate certain related plant species from consideration of fertile hybrid formation, thus making lists for these crops subject to speculation. Second, we queried the HOSTS database (UK) to obtain a worldwide listing of lepidopteran species that feed on these crops and their wild relatives, and to determine the host range of the larvae.

  • Invertebrate Rearing and Insectary Management Special Interest Group
    Invertebrate Rearing and Insectary Management Special Interest Group “My life in butterflies success and failure” Clive Farrell, Stratford-upon-Avon Butterfly Farm Awaiting abstract “An edible caterpillar project in the Congo” Paul Latham As a result of the loss of forest and unsustainable collection, edible caterpillars, mainly Saturniids, have become difficult to find in Kongo Central province, Democratic Republic of Congo. They represent an important, traditional, high-protein food source for the local population. A project to reintroduce Cirina forda and increase the availability of other species around the village of Kilueka was commenced in 2016. The talk will focus on a recent visit to the project. Thank you for inviting me to talk about an edible caterpillar project in the Congo. Unfortunately, I am not an entomologist, I studied agriculture at Wye College before becoming a Salvation Army officer. My wife and I were posted to what was then Southern Rhodesia in 1962, and then to Kenya where I was involved in training settlement farmers. Later I worked, with a young farmers programme in both Kenya and Uganda, and then we were posted to Bas-Congo (now Kongo Central) province in 1984 to run an agricultural and beekeeping project. It was while I was there that I became interested in edible insects and particularly edible caterpillars. I remember going off into the bush with some children, who are the main caterpillar collectors, and calling “he, he” to make one species, Achaea catocaloides, jerk its body, thus revealing itself conveniently to the collectors. “Bugs and pitfalls: 25 years of culture” Paul Green, Syngenta Starting with species kept during my undergraduate studies the theme will be key examples of insects, among the following Orders: Coleoptera, Diptera, Lepidoptera, Orthoptera and Psocoptera that I have been involved in culturing through various institutions.

Barret Goodale Kakamega Monkey Project PO Box 2579, Kakamega, Kakamega, Kenya [email protected], [email protected] ABSTRACT The moth Achaea catocaloides Guenee (Lepidoptera: Erebidae, formerly Noctuidae) experiences periodic population irruptions in tropical Africa. Large numbers of adult moths were observed in the Kakamega Forest, Western Kenya in March 2012. Estimated densities of adult moths flying in surveyed forest areas were 6.8 individuals per square metre. Roosting moth density was estimated at 12.7 individuals per 50 cm long branch on two common forest tree species: Croton megalocarpus and Bridelia micrantha. Based on scaled-up data from transect counts we conservatively estimate that this irruption contained 800 million – 1.5 billion moths. The Achaea moths were common throughout the indigenous forest and were being preyed on by birds and monkeys. These population irruptions occur periodically in African forests, but the underlying causes and factors driving them remain undetermined.
