As a native of San Antonio, Texas, I have been surrounded by some of the greatest citizens, servants and soldiers the world has ever seen. Their willingness to protect and defend our nation has always been an inspiration to me. Their sacrifice and commitment serve as a constant reminder that I have been called to do the same by my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I am to be a citizen of His Kingdom here on this earth. I am to serve Him with all my heart, soul, mind, strength, and to love my neighbor as myself. I am to be a soldier in His army and take a stand in the evil day. We live in an evil day that seeks to destroy all that is good, and the need for change can no longer be ignored. Bible-believing Christians cannot afford to be spectators in this culture war that is changing every aspect of our lives. We are watching our freedoms and liberties be trampled beneath a relentless agenda to destroy the foundations of truth, rid so- ciety of the institutions of faith and crush the influence of the Church. Some have described it as the “post-Christian era,” others choose to use more moderate terms, but the fact re- mains, we are in a supernatural war in this modern world. The Apostle Paul made it clear that we were going to be engaged 9 The Military Guide to Armageddon • D. Giamonna, T. Anderson Chosen Books, a division of Baker Publishing Group © 2021 used by permission _Giammona_MilitaryGuide_ET_bb.indd 9 10/1/20 8:02 AM Foreword in a spiritual battle that would only increase in intensity until Jesus Christ returns to earth to establish His Kingdom. The day of decision for this generation has arrived, and the ancient question echoes still, “Who is on the Lord’s side?” This resource is filled not with theories, suggested strat- egies and general ideas for you to consider but with real battlefield-tested facts, tactics and information that will convert an apathetic churchgoer into a soldier of salt and light. The authors combine decades of battlefield experience and award-winning investigative journalism to demonstrate what God will do with those who are willing to take a stand, face adversity and make history. The world around you is decaying in darkness; now is the time to answer the question, “What are you going to do about it?” What are you going to do about the chaos in our streets? This book has the answer. How are you going to lead your family, loved ones and friends with confidence in uncertain times? This book will show you the way. How does this epic conflict end, who will win, and what will happen in the world tomorrow? If you’d like to know, then turn the page. This book points to truths that can change your life forever. The days in which we live require each of us to choose be- tween light and darkness, good and evil, truth and deception, Christ and Anti-Christ—there is no middle ground. Con- gratulations on taking a step in the right direction. Thank you for answering the call to be a citizen, a servant and a soldier. You are needed now more than ever. I pray as you read and apply the principles contained in this work that you see the hand of God move in your life like never before. The good fight of faith is still worth fighting. May we all stand our post and serve to the last full measure, until He comes! Matthew Hagee, lead pastor, Cornerstone Church, San Antonio, Texas 10 The Military Guide to Armageddon • D. Giamonna, T. Anderson Chosen Books, a division of Baker Publishing Group © 2021 used by permission _Giammona_MilitaryGuide_ET_bb.indd 10 10/1/20 8:02 AM PREFACE I AM PERSUADED that things on this planet are about to change drastically, and that we need to prepare for com- ing earth-shattering events. In fact, I had a life-changing spiritual encounter (which I will describe in chapter 5) that convinced me that God has called us all to go out and wake up the Church and the world to what is about to happen. We are about to face the most difficult days in the history of mankind. If we are not prepared, we could be swept away by all the propaganda and politics of the world that Satan is using against us.

    God's Master Plan In Prophecy Lesson 13 – The Battle of Armageddon & 2nd Coming of Jesus Christ Key Scriptures: Revelation 19:1-21 Ezekiel 38 & 39 Joel 2:1-11 Zechariah 12-14 Introduction Rev 19:1 After these things I heard something like a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, "Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God; While the Wrath of God is being poured out, there was the voice of "a great multitude in heaven" praising God! This is the redeemed church which has missed the Wrath of God and was taken out of Great Tribulation. While the earth is experiencing the judgment of God without mercy, we are experiencing His goodness without judgment! Rev 19:2-3 BECAUSE HIS JUDGMENTS ARE TRUE AND RIGHTEOUS; for He has judged the great harlot who was corrupting the earth with her immorality, and HE HAS AVENGED THE BLOOD OF HIS BOND-SERVANTS ON HER." 3 And a second time they said, "Hallelujah! HER SMOKE RISES UP FOREVER AND EVER." From what is being said in these verse, it is obvious that the church will be fully aware of what is happening upon the earth during this time, yet because we are no longer viewing earth's events through the eyes of mortal flesh, we will understand that God is righteous and true in His judgments. To modern minds it may seem strange to worship and say, “hallelujah” over the fact that God is pouring out judgment, but that is because we see imperfectly now.

  • The Battle Armageddon
    THE BATTLE OF ARMAGEDDON by David Dence 1 developed a keen interest in this subject when I discovered to my surprise how little my friends know about the Battle of Armageddon. I Many great men have suffered because their view of Armageddon differed from their superiors. Sad. Armageddon is NOT a salvation issue. I will not be saved or lost based on my understanding or misunder- standing of this subject. Thus I should never disparage those who hold a different view. Some have argued that the Battle of Armageddon will be a spiritual battle, while others have insisted that it will be fought with real weapons and armaments. Some have taught that the focus of the battle will be literal Israel. And of course the exact location of the battle has always been a point of contention. So, does it really matter? Perhaps not. But if indeed the battle of Armageddon is imminent, we might be well advised to upgrade our understanding. Let me put it to you like this: The FAA has designated traffic lanes in the sky. When a plane is high in the sky and 150 miles out, air controllers are not going to be concerned if it is flying a hundred feet above or below its assigned altitude. When the plane is 15 miles from the airport it better not be more than a few feet above or below its assigned altitude. And when it is less than a mile from the runway it better be within a few inches of its assigned altitude. Folks, we are lined up with the runway now.

St3l1n commit American power to save South Korea from Communist aggression in late June 1950 stands as perhaps America's finest moment of the Cold War. By making a difficult commitment, by sacrificing 50,000 American lives in the end, Truman upheld Western values and interests where they were directly threatened. It is easy to overlook the unpopularity and unpleasantness of a war which, though necessary, nevertheless remains unknown to most Americans today. Our sacrifices in Korea beginning in the disastrous summer of 1950 merit recognition and honor in their own right, yet they deserve our attention for another reason almost completely neglected in accounts of the period.

  • FN1405-Nuc-Ross
    Foreign Policy Research Institute FOOTNOTES Vol. 14, No. 5 The Newsletter of the Wachman Center May 2009 THE ROLE OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS IN INTERNATIONAL POLITICS: A STRATEGIC PERSPECTIVE By Andrew L. Ross Andrew L. Ross is director of the Center for Science, Technology, and Policy and professor of political science at University of New Mexico. This essay is based on his talk at the FPRI Wachman Center’s History Institute for Teachers on Teaching the Nuclear Age, held March 28-29, 2009. The Institute was cosponsored by the American Academy of Diplomacy and cosponsored and hosted by the Atomic Testing Museum in Las Vegas, Nevada. See http://www.fpri.org/education/nuclearage/ for videofiles, texts of lectures, and classroom lessons. The History Institute for Teachers is co-chaired by David Eisenhower and Walter A. McDougall. Core support is provided by the Annenberg Foundation and Mr. H.F. Lenfest. THE DAWN OF THE NUCLEAR AGE The Nuclear Age began with the World War II Manhattan Project (1942-46), which culminated in the Trinity test on July 16, 1945, of the “Gadget” and the August 1945 bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The Project was led by Gen. Leslie Groves; physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer directed the scientific research. The Trinity test took place on a test range north of Alamogordo, NM. Gadget was a somewhat less than 20-kiloton implosion-type fission device. Its yield was the equivalent of the bomb load of 2000 fully loaded WWII B-29s. Reacting to the test, Oppenheimer quoted the Bhagavad-Gita: “I am become Death, the Shatterer of Worlds.” Less than a month later, “Little Boy” was dropped on Hiroshima, on August 6, 1945.
