Prophecy Sign : Could the March of May 15 against Israel lead to the fulfillment of the Psalm 83 prophecy? Here is the latest news concerning this march.

"Hamas and Fatah, the twin terror groups that represent the "Palestinian people" in Land of Israel west of the River Jordan, are cooperating on a project for intimidating and embarrassing Israel on May 15. The date is the 63rd Gregorian calendar anniversary of the declaration of the State of Israel in 1948.

Dr. Zakaria al-Agha, member of the PLO Executive Committee, said Monday that a joint Fatah-Hamas committee for marking "the 63rd Nakba Day" had been formed, and that negotiations were under way with "all of the nationalist and Islamic forces" in order to carry out a joint, central action on the day. The plans reportedly include mass marches toward Israel from all of the countries surrounding it, by Arabs and foreign sympathizers. "Nakba," or "disaster," is what the Palestinian Authority Arabs call the establishment of the Jewish state, which occurred despite a concerted Arab attempt to kill the Jews in Israel."

Prophecy Sign : The listing of every world empire was given to the Prophet Daniel in Daniel chapter 2. Notice was ever written about the USA. From the lack of information we know that the USA will not be a world empire in the last days nor will see be seen as a major player in prophecy except to say that her decline from power will help bring about the last world empire.

On page 11 of my 2010 book I warned people to watch how high the numbers climb for the number of Americans who will have to go on food stamps. This is part of what I wrote in my book. "News from (Reuters) proves my point, I quote, “For the first time, more than 34 million Americans received food stamps, which help poor people buy groceries, government figures said on Thursday, a sign of the longest and one of the deepest recessions since the Great Depression Enrollment surged by 2 percent to reach a record 34.4 million people, or one in nine Americans, in May, the latest month for which figures are available” (Forbes Aug. 6, 2009). In only 5 months we witnessed the food stamp program jumping from 31.8 million to 34.4 million. You will read later these figures went up again in September."

One sure sign that America is declining is this food stamp stat. The lastest figures were just released and as you will see what I have been warning everyone is taking place.

"Today SNAP released the most recent food stamp numbers. Not surprisingly, we just saw another all time high 44.2 million poverty-level Americans relying on government funding for day to day sustenance. Granted the number appears to be plateauing, so all those who bought the change if not the ho pe, can rejoice as it may start declining next month: a development that is sure to be herald for Obama a 4th Putin-esque term. That said, another number that has to be kept in perspective and for which we have to thank none other than Pauly-K is that offsetting these 44.2 million of impoverished Americans who can get a tax refund for writing off the American dream, are 400 Americans who accounted for 10%, or $91 billion of total, in capital gains taxes, or said otherwise, 400 US taxpayers account for 10% of all capital gains in 2007! We are currently going through old issues of Pravda to see if the Communist empire ever achieved this kind of social disparity between the nomenklatura and the proletariat (it didn't). If we find confirmation we will post it, and lose a sizable bet which will certainly deny us any possibility of every being among the abovementioned 400.

First, the latestSNAP:



And second, at a factor of 110,500 to 1, here are the 400 people who not only account for 10% of all US capital gains taxes (Taleb was right), but end up paying a whopping (sarcasm inluded) 17% in taxes on it.

One of the more interesting documents published by the IRS is its report on the income and taxes of the top 400 taxpayers (pdf). A lot of attention gets focused, rightly, on the remarkably low average tax rate these people pay — less than 17 percent in 2007, the lowest on record. But I was struck by something else: in several years during the last decade the top 400 accounted for more than 10 percent of all capital gains income in America. Just 400 people!

Visually, this is presented below: of the $907 billion in capital gains paid in 2007, only 400 taxpayers accounted for $91 billion:



That's right ladies and gents, 400 US citizens are the primary beneficiaries of the Weimar rally so insiduously orchestrated by Chairsatan Benzebub. Or, in other words, 44.2 million to 400. And now you know that "democracy" can withstand even odds worse than 100k to 1.

While the United States is declining in power the European Union which is the Western leg of the old Roman Empire is growing in strength. Keep in mind that I am watching the Western leg of the old Roman Empire because there is the chance the Antichrist may rise from this leg of the old Roman Empire. There is also the chance he will rise from the Eastern leg of the old Roman Empire so we have to keep watch on both of these legs because Jesus and Daniel told us the old Roman Empire would rise again in the last days and both of the legs already show us we are in the times Jesus warned us about. Here is the latest on the EU.

"EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - EU Council President Herman Van Rompuy will now be able to address the United Nations no differently from US President Barack Obama, Venezuela's Hugo Chavez or Russia's Dimitri Medvedev. In order to win the vote, the EU had to agree to changes to the global organisation that transforms the UN from an assembly of nation states into a body that also offers representation rights to regional blocs as well, including potentially the African Union, the Arab League and the South American Union.The EU on Tuesday was given almost all the rights in the global chamber that fully-fledged states enjoy after the General Assembly backed 180 to two a resolution giving the bloc, which until this week only maintained observer status at the UN, the union the right to speak, the right to make proposals and submit amendments, the right of reply, the right to raise points of order and the right to circulate documents. There will also be additional seats put in the chamber for the EU's foreign policy chief, High Representative Catherine Ashton and her officials."

We also have to keep our eyes on Turkey as they also may play a huge role in the last days as part of the rise of the Eastern leg of the old Roman Empire. You will learn more about the exact details of turkey by reading my Oct. 27, 2009 post. The green link at the end of this section will take you to the Oct. 27th post.

"It is impossible to catch one's breath after all of this celebrating. From the marriage of the prince to the assassination of the Saudi to the anticipated wedding ceremony that is due to take place today in Cairo, the sensory overload of the last few days threatens to conceal the real problems. Like in any celebration, the bridesmaid tries to attract attention by getting close to the cameras and within earshot of the merry-makers. This was how Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu managed to secure a spot next to Mahmoud Abbas and Khaled Meshal so that he could witness the festivities, alongside Arab League secretary general Amr Moussa, the Egyptian prime minister, his intelligence chief, and his foreign minister during the signing of the Hamas-Fatah reconciliation agreement."

There is more to this report but the bottom line is Turkey is gaining as a major force in the Middle East. One thing is certain, the Antichrist is already here in either the Western leg or Eastern leg. Many want to know if he is alive and I would say yes he is but he has not risen to the position Jesus warned us about yet. I truly believe this man of sin will only be revealed when the Church is gone.
