THE BIBLE PLAINLY PROPHESIES OF MASSIVE DISEASE EPIDEMICS!

TODAY, DISEASES LONG THOUGHT CONQUERED ARE BACK AGAIN!

EVEN IN AMERICA DISEASE IS SPIRALING TOWARD OUTBREAK!

 

There is a war on the horizon that the Bible calls the GREAT TRIBULATION! A time of trouble so great that the world would not survive without direct intervention from God.

Notice what Jesus said of this time -Matthew 24:21-22- For then there will be a great tribulation, such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever shall. And unless those days had been cut short, NO LIFE WOULD HAVE BEEN SAVED; but for the sake of the elect those days shall be cut short. "

In these three and one half years, the world will see global war, natural disasters, frightening signs in the heavens and massive PLAGUE!

As humanity stands at the threshold of a new millennium, it is no coincidence that a powerful union is being established in Europe; and that natural disasters such as earthquakes are increasing in frequency. That there is imminent danger of violence everywhere, from the war zone to the school yard. And mankind is even now teetering on the very brink of WORLDWIDE DISEASE OUTBREAK!

AIDS is now the number one killer of people in the 20-40 year age group in America.

Despite the claims that a cure or vaccine is near, this is very questionable and unlikely. According to Dr. Lynn Horowitz, who holds a Masters Degree in Public Health from Harvard University, this is simply not true. He says statements such as these are released to the public through the news services in order to promote funding for their research.

Dr. Horowitz is a Media Expert and says that most of what we have heard concerning AIDS research is propaganda. He recently made this statement - "The typical government DIS-INFORMATION Program goes like this -80% truth peppered with about 20% lies. Lies peppered with half-truths are the hardest matters to fight."

Few realize the danger of the AIDS Virus.

But it is precisely the type of disease that could literally eradicate all human life from the planet!

Dr. Robert Stryker, Scientist and maker of the documentary film -"THE STRYKER CONNECTION", concluded his program with the belief that a vaccine for AIDS is impossible. And said that unless an alternative treatment is found, everyone would eventually contract this deadly disease.

When asked if he was predicting the END OF HUMANITY, he replied "Yes". And said unless a method other than a vaccine or drugs is found to combat the disease, humanity would eventually die from AIDS infection!

There are expected to be 100 MILLION INFECTED WITH AIDS BY THE YEAR 2000! Because the disease can go undetected for up to 12 years, a person can unknowingly transmit it to many other people. Remember AIDS is not just a sexually transmitted disease, it is transmitted by the exchange of body fluids. One can acquire it without engaging in sexual intercourse.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the AIDS Virus has already mutated into at least 12 different strains. Fortunately, none have developed hair-like spores that would allow it to become airborne. But this is a real danger when you are dealing with a mutating Virus.

If you will remember, it was not long ago that the dreaded EBOLA VIRUS was killing monkeys in Virginia. This particular strain just happened to not be infectious to humans. But unlike the EBOLA that broke out in Central Africa in the 1970's, and Three times in West Africa in 1996, it was AIRBORNE!

Prior to this, all EBOLA Virus strains were believed to be transmitted by the exchange of body fluids, much like influenza. But the EBOLA that killed the monkeys in Virginia was floating invisibly in the air! Had it been contagious to humans, we would have had a major OUTBREAK in America!

Some Scientists believe it is only a matter of time before there is a AIRBORNE STRAIN of the AIDS VIRUS!

If this were to happen, there would be no safe place for mankind on the planet.

Even now, knowing that AIDS is transmitted by body fluids, one can become infected without knowing it. And in turn infect other members of their family.

To bring this point home, let me tell you a true story that involves me personally. Occasionally our family watches a movie together on Saturday night. We make a trip to a Video rental store for the movie.

One evening while walking down an aisle, I saw someone I had met before. I approached him and said "Hello", but as he turned to face me I was horrified at his deathly appearance. The man had full-blown AIDS! His face and arms were covered with lesions and were SECRETING BODY FLUIDS!

He told me how terrible he had been feeling, and said that he was even unable to bend down to get a video from the lower shelves. I watched in horror as he took video after video from the shelf examining each one before replacing it. The immediate thought in my mind was, "I am definitely not going to touch those videos." Then it occurred to me that I had no idea who had handled the videos that were in my own hands before me.

Moments later I saw this man's wife. She looked literally like "death walking". She obviously was suffering from the disease as well. At that moment it was easy to understand how quickly disease can spread in our modern environment.

WHAT SCARES EXPERTS MOST is the emergence of New Resistant Strains of common bacteria.

They have been given the term SUPERBACTERIA.

Scariest of all is the deadly STAPH bug found in hospitals that is immune to every antibiotic but one! This deadly bacteria is susceptible only to the drug Vancomycin. Mitch Cohen, who is a disease expert with the Centers Of Disease Control recently asked -"How are we going to control it when it's Vancomycin resistant? IT WILL HAPPEN? And that's goint to be a PUBLICE HEALTH DISASTER!" (Note: This article is a Radio Broadcast transcript done in December of 1996. Since this was written, a Vancomycin resistant strain was found in Japan.)

NEW DISEASES: Some emerging, virulent viruses could rival AIDS. EBOLA kills nearly all it infects in a matter of days! So does LASSA FEVER and MARBURG VIRUS. The CDC says no one can predict how deadly the next NEW VIRUS will be!

RE-EMERGING DISEASES: Tuberculosis is back with a vengeance! It is RESISTANT to standard treatments. DIPHTHERIA raged in Russia in 1995, and a killer strain of CHOLERA swept through Southeast Asia last year.

FOOD AND WATER PROBLEMS: In 1993, undercooked hamburgers with E.COLI bacteria infected 500 people. In 1996 E. COLI was found in apple juice! A U.S. Health Official recently made this statement, - "Illnesses caused by JUICES and other FOODS contaminated with DEADLY STRAINS of E.COLI are GROSSLY UNDERRECOGNIZED!"

INFLUENZA: The 1918 FLU PANDEMIC KILLED 40 MILLION PEOPLE! Some experts think an equally deadly FLU VIRUS will appear in the near future! It would cause WIDESPREAD DEATH throughout the world!

PERSIAN GULF WAR DISEASE: Over 200,000 of the 700,000 America troops that served in the Persian Gulf War have officially registered with the VFW claiming to suffer from a disease that their government says does not exist. (at the end of 1996)

According to some experts, as many as 15,000 have already died. Many believe this disease is a product of GERM WARFARE! The reasoning behind this is that 80% of those with the disease say they have INFECTED OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS! If other family members can contract this disease, then so can co-workers, friends and even you and I! We could easily have a NEW, MAN-MADE DISEASE spreading rapidly throughout America at this very moment, and without the public's knowledge!

In 1972, Bernice Eddy, former Director of Vaccine Testing for the Bureau of Biologics, was given the opportunity to address the United States Congress. She was deeply concerned that vaccinations would eventually produce resistant KILLER STRAINS of the diseases. As she stood before Congress 25 years ago, she said - "If you continue to allow these vaccines to go out, in the next 20 years you will have EPIDEMICS UNLIKE THE WORLD HAS EVER SEEN!"

Shannon Brownlee, author of "The Disease Busters" said - "Humanity has been in a biological arms race ever since, devising newer, ever more powerful antibiotics to smite ever more RESISTANT BUGS."

It seems as though we are being set-up for MASSIVE PLAGUE epidemics from every conceivable angle. From the new and improved germs of our past, long thought conquered, to the swiftly mutating Viruses that have been breaking out in recent years. Now we may have to come face to face with MAN-MADE germs created especially to kill and do it efficiently.

This all sounds so bad and even hopeless. What is the point in even knowing these things if there is little or nothing we can do to avoid them?

THERE IS SOMETHING YOU CAN DO!

You can do the only thing that can and will make a difference.

YOU CAN TURN TO GOD.

These PLAGUES coming upon the Earth and particularly America and Britain are not accidental. They are the result of our God who has so richly blessed us in the past, removing His blessing from the land.

Our people are disobedient to the commands of their God. They have become corrupt, and are growing more corrupt with each passing year. Because we have refused to look to God and serve Him only, that great time of trouble called the GREAT TRIBULATION will wreak havoc on our unsuspecting nation.

World War 3 is fast approaching and America will be conquered according to prophecy. All who will refuse to REPENT and turn to God humbly seeking His will in their lives, will suffer WAR, NATURAL DISASTERS, FAMINE, DISEASE EPIDEMICS AND EVEN CAPTIVITY!

Notice Ezekiel 6:11-12- "Thus says the Lord God, `Clap your hands ,stamp your foot, and say, Alas, because of all the EVIL ABOMINATIONS of the house of Israel, which will fall by SWORD, FAMINE AND PLAGUE!' He who is far off will die by the PLAGUE, and he who is near will fall by the sword, and he who remains and is besieged will die by the famine. Then shall I spend My WRATH on them."

It is God's wrath against a stubborn, disobedient people who refuses to REPENT! A people that wants to worship their own way.

Jesus said our heavenly Father must be worshiped in SPIRIT and TRUTH. Notice John 4:23-24- "But an hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth; for such people the Father seeks to be His worshipers. God is spirit and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth."

TRUTH is a rare commodity in the churches of this world. It is usually the FIRST CASUALTY in War with the Devil. Because most people do not truly want to be instructed in truth. Most want to have their ears tickled and told that it is sinners outside the churches that are lacking in the sight of God.

But what makes one pleasing to God is not simply occupying a seat each week in services, but real REPENTANCE from practicing sin. No, you and I will never be perfect in this life, but we can try to serve God in TRUTH and understanding. And we can do better can't we? God seeks those who are wholehearted in their devotion to Him.

If we want to avoid the COMING DISEASE EPIDEMICS, we must come out of the ways of this world, submitting to the ways of God as given in His holy Word. Notice Revelation 18:4- "And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, COME OUT OF HER, MY PEOPLE, that you may not receive of HER PLAGUES."

These DISEASE EPIDEMICS are coming upon the REBELLIOUS not the OBEDIENT.

Many may say, "I do the best I can, I try to be a good Christian." But the truth is, many who proclaim such things are rarely truly devoted.

If you had problems assembling something you had purchased, wouldn't you consult the instructions? If you were to call for technical advice, wouldn't they ask you if you had read the instructions sent?

Likewise, how many professing Christians truly search their Bibles to see what their God requires of them?

Some may say, - "I follow everything my Pastor tells me to do." How do you know he is right? God's Word plainly warns us to test those that come claiming to be teachers of righteousness.

When the Apostle Paul and Silas preached to those at Berea they and their teachings were put to the test by the Bereans. Notice Acts 17:11- "Now these were more NOBLE-MINDED than those in Thessalonica, for they received the Word with great eagerness, EXAMINING THE SCRIPTURES daily, TO SEE WHETHER THESE THINGS WERE SO."

This did not offend Paul at all. In chapter four of his first letter to the Corinthians, he instructed them to put Peter, Apollo and Himself to the test. To see if they were TRUSTWORTHY in the SCRIPTURES.

My friends, you need to diligently seek God's will as revealed in the pages of your Bible.

Don't look for excuses, or loopholes to get around what God says.

Humble yourself before the Word of God, and He will exalt you.

He will give you protection in the days ahead.

Whatever the true Christian endures, he suffers for righteousness sake and will be greatly rewarded. God does not promise us an easy walk, but He does say He will always be with us.

The days ahead are going to be the worst time in the history of man.

You do not want to face it without being in the grace of God.

The only way to find true grace, is to have true REPENTANCE. The pretenders will quickly fall by the wayside when the trouble begins.

In the coming years, Americans will see the likes of which we have never even dreamed. We will see our hospitals completely overflowed with the diseased. Even our streets will be lined with the dead, sick and dying! It will be a terrible time, a time of GREAT TRIBULATION! The only answer, and our only hope is humbly calling upon the mercy of our Creator.

Those who will forsake their own will and submit to the will of God as outlined in His Word, will have come out of "Babylon" and will not suffer these nightmarish PLAGUES that are even now AT THE VERY DOOR!
