her satellite nations bordering Europe on the east. For some time European
nations have
been losing faith in U.S. dependability to protect them.
The nations of Europe WANT very much to consolidate themselves into ONE
UNITED
EUROPE. They made a start toward such union in the Common Market. But they want
POLITICAL and MILITARY union. This they cannot achieve by themselves.
Now into this tense situation, comes the new Polish Pope at Rome. Prophecy
DOES,
definitely, foretell a union of European nations bringing back to life the
medieval "Holy
Roman Empire." (Revelation 17 and elsewhere.)
I know that the Roman Curia, led especially by "king-maker" Cardinal
Bonelli has
worked toward this. Undoubtedly this already has been discussed secretly with
European
leaders. What European nations cannot do by themselves, they CAN DO through the
good graces of the Pope. Could it be that the present Pope is destined to be
that man?
I know some think he will die soon--as did his predecessor--and the prophesied
Pope will
be elected. THAT, we cannot now know. I had thought the Pope to head such a move
would be named "Sixtus VI." Five have been named "Sixtus."
What prophecy does reveal is the now VERY SOON EMERGENCE of what in
Matthew
24:21 is called the "GREAT TRIBULATION." That will be cut short after 2 1/2 to 3
1/2 years
by "the Day of the Lord"--mentioned in some 30 prophecies in both Old and New
Testaments.
The "Day of the Lord" will be the time of Christ's supernatural direct
intervention with
miraculous signs in the skies and on earth. It will be short and will culminate
in the second
coming of Christ in supreme POWER AND GLORY, to rule all nations and establish
THE
KINGDOM OF GOD on the earth!
The actual movement of world events as prophesied WARNS US that all this
MAY
now occur in the decade we entered day before yesterday--and, if delayed past
1990,
most certainly during the decade of the 90s.
TIME IS NOW SHORT!
IT IS LATER THAN WE THINK!
TIME is MARCHING ON--and PROPHECY is now being fulfilled!
I hope the events of the past week do not cancel out my invitation by the
government
to visit Moscow. I take NO PART in the world affairs I have described--I am
merely
