DECEMBER 2010

CChristmas ... a beautiful time of celebration and joy in the Gift God gave.

And yet ... many are fearful. Cowering in confusion. Full of anxiety over world events. Every new day’s headlines seem to catch them off-guard.

But now you can give an extraordinary Christmas gift that will change all that. Take the next three minutes — read on — and discover how....

Yes, of course, today’s headlines are astonishing — but they’re not surprising! Not when we hold them up to the light of God’s plan as expressed in the Bible!

Predictions made thousands of years ago are occurring today, before our very eyes! The Bible is true, and the Gospel teaching to which I have given my life for these past six decades is absolutely coming to pass!

Financial chaos? No surprise. A New World Order rising? No surprise — it was prophesied. Our tragic plunge into socialism? Part of the prophetic picture! Government takeovers — false prophets — terrorism — a coming world dictator — all prophesied in the pages of

Scripture! Events are moving rapidly “behind closed doors” — more than many realize or believe.

Into the swirl of world events comes a powerful tool — a resource of unprecedented value — designed to cut through the chaos and confusion and bring the truth of God’s Word: it’s the single most comprehensive prophecy Bible ever produced ... the Revised Limited Edition of the Jack Van Impe Prophecy Bible.

What the publication of this unparalleled volume means is that you can understand all world events — and grasp your own personal prophetic future.

There is no other Bible like this, reading as it does almost like a dramatic script — and presented in stunningly beautiful bonded leather. A keepsake presentation page, a lovely ribbon bookmark, and a handsomely designed gift box make this a gift of superb quality. Give this amazing Bible as a Christmas present, and you will be giving a gift of matchless value!

“We just received the new Prophecy Bible yesterday,” one

viewer wrote. “I have been reading it almost constantly. It is hard to put down!” And this type of feedback is common among those who experience the Jack Van Impe Prophecy Bible for the first time!

A medical professional who is also a minister of the Gospel writes, “I know firsthand what ‘being prepared’ means. I absolutely love Dr. Van Impe’s Prophecy Bible. As a student and minister of Bible prophecy, I find it a valuable tool and resource in my ministry. I thank God for His Word and also for you. You are both willing servants of the Most High.”

“I have the Jack Van Impe Prophecy Bible,” writes T.F., “and I want you to know, it’s my favorite Bible. The print is easy to read, and I really like your explanation of the book of Revelation. You make it so easy to understand! Thank you for all you do — God bless you and Rexella!”

“I recently received your Prophecy Bible,” says S.E., “and I must say, What a masterpiece! I’m so inspired by the prophecy of God’s Word, and you have helped make it very clear! I’m excited about Christ coming back! I’ve

Imagine the response of someone you care about, receiving this extraordinary gift from you this Christmas!

This incredible study Bible — more than 1,800 pages in the majestic King James Version — reflects my 100,000 lifetime hours of study, research, learning — the equivalent of 11 continuous years, 24 hours a day.

My comprehensive “A-to-Z Prophecy Index” is included. You can read from Genesis to Revelation in this Bible and recognize instantly the prophetic context of each and every verse: Rapture? Tribulation? Second Coming? Millennial Reign of Christ? You will never again need to ask When will this happen?

On top of all this, the Jack Van Impe Prophecy Bible includes my comprehensive, user-friendly verse-by-verse

commentary on the book of Revelation — and my acclaimed Final Mysteries Unsealed commentary on the book of Daniel!

Or request several copies to give to friends and family. I imagine some who have already experienced this astounding Bible will want to share this unique experience with a number of those they love.

There are many ways that we express our thanks. We say, “Thank you,” “Many thanks,” “Much obli ged,” and “Thanks a lot.” Expressing one’s gratitude for another’s kindness is nothing more or less than good manners.

However, when it comes to thanking God for His goodness, most of us become ingrates. Sad! One man even said to me, “I work 40 hours a week; why should I thank God?”

I like what a newspaper columnist recently said:

“On this day, take a few minutes to think about what you have to be thankful for. How’s your health? Not so good? Well, thank God you’ve lived this long. A lot of people

haven’t.“You’re hurting?

Thousands, maybe millions, are hurting more. (Have you ever visited a Veteran’s Hospital? Or a rehabilitation clinic for crippled chil dren?) If you awakened this morning and were able to hear the birds sing, use your vocal chords to utter human sounds, walk to the breakfast table on two good legs, and read the newspaper with two good eyes, praise the Lord. A lot of people couldn’t.

“How’s your pocketbook? Well, most of the world is a lot poorer. No pensions. No welfare. No food stamps. No Social Security. In fact, one-third of the people in the world will go to bed hungry tonight.

“Are you lonely? The way to have a friend is to be one. If nobody

November–December 2010 | Perhaps Today | 7

America, freedom rings. You can still worship at the church of your choice, cast a secret ballot, and even criticize your government without fearing a knock on the head or a knock on the door at midnight. And if you want to live under a different system, you are free to go. There are no walls or fences — nothing to keep you here.”

Contentment is a Command

Oh, be thankful. Did you know that contentment is a command from God? He says in Hebrews 13:5, Be content with such things as ye have. Contentment is indicative of our spiritual temperature, and it also indicates a thankful spirit.

John Wesley records a conversation with a porter at Oxford College which changed his life. The man called at Wesley’s room late one evening and said that he wished to talk with Mr. Wesley. After talking for

quite some time, Mr. Wesley, in a spirit of pleasantry, said to the porter, “Go home and get another coat.”

The man replied, “This is the only coat I have in the world, and I thank God for it.”

Then demanded Wesley, “Go home and get your supper.”

The man again replied, “I

have no money or food, but I have had a good cold glass of water today. And I thank God for it.”

John Wesley again cried, “Go home and rest.”

The porter answered, “I have no home, but thank God that I have dry stones upon which I can recline at night.”

John Wesley, the founder of Methodism, then said, “You thank God that you have nothing to wear, noth ing to eat, and no bed in which to sleep. Is there any other reason you are grateful?”

“Oh, yes,” said the porter, “I thank God that He has given me life and health and a heart to love and serve Him.”

Is it any wonder that John Wesley declared that his conversation with this pauper had revealed to him something to which he had been a total stranger?

Where do you stand today, dear friend? Oh, be thankful, for the offering of thanksgiving to God is the duty of all His children, whether circumstances are good or bad, right or wrong,

happy or heartbreak ing.

Why? He is God, and He is in

control. The Bible says, Offer unto God thanksgiving (Psalm 50:14). [Give] thanks always for all things (Ephesians 5:20). Continue in prayer ... with thanksgiving (Colossians 4:2). In every thing give thanks (I Thessalonians 5:18). Yes, Thanksgiving ... [to] our God for ever and ever (Revelation 7:12).

Thankfulness, as a duty then, is prominent in the Bible. It should have a big place in our lives, for thankfulness is the declarative mood of gratitude, a great incentive to faith, a glorifier of God, and a subduer of the lower nature.

Be Thankful in All Things

At this point, I can almost hear someone saying, “I can agree that praise to God is suitable when bless ings abound, but should one literally thank God for everything?” Is it possible to praise God when the road is tough, when circumstances are unbearable, when the night is dark, when situations are disagree able, when the cup of woe is bitter, when the black wings of disease flutter over the baby’s cradle, when the bill collector is at the door, when our neighbors mistreat us and our friends despise and forsake us? Yes, even then, we should say, “Thank You, Lord.”

Paul wrote the majority of the verses just quoted, and he praised God for everything. Speaking of his sufferings as an apostle, he said in 1 Corinthians 4:9-13, For we are made a spectacle unto the world, and to angels, and to men. We are fools for Christ’s sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye are honourable, but we are despised. Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted [beaten] and have no certain dwelling place [no home like others]; And labor, working with

our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer [allow] it: Being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are the offscouring of all things unto this day.

What do you have to say about all this heartache, Paul? In every thing give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you (1 Thessalonians 5:18).

In 2 Corinthians 4:8-10, Paul again mentioned the hatred he encountered as a good soldier of the faith. He declared, We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus. What about this abuse, Paul? Well … we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose (Romans 8:28).

Be ye thankful (Colossians 3:15) seemed to be Paul’s motto. When he was in peril of his life in Damascus, suspected by his fellow believers in Jeru salem, persecuted in Antioch, stoned in Lystra, assaulted in Iconium, beaten and imprisoned in Philippi, attacked by a lewd and envious crowd in Thes salonica, pursued by callous enmity in Berea, despised in Athens, blasphemed in Corinth, exposed to the fierce wrath of the Ephesians, bound with chains and sent as a prisoner to Rome, Paul still praised God.

Yes, at all times, in all places, in all things he made known

his requests unto God with thanksgiving. Though he was in perils of waters, in perils of rob bers, in perils by [his] own countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren; In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness … STILL Paul always abounded in thanksgiving (2 Corinthians 11:26-27).

Though he was in prison without his freedom, in winter without an overcoat, in court without a friend, in poverty without a donor, in exile without a home, yet he was ever singing his hymn of gratitude to his God.

How different we are from Paul — and how indif ferent to God’s command, “Be ye thankful.” Most of us have a place to sleep, clothing to wear, food to eat, and a vehicle to drive. Yet we grumble endlessly.

I wish I could take you to Egypt today to observe the

Coptic Christians at work. Because of their faith in Jesus Christ, they are unable to obtain employment in this predominantly Muslim land. Hence, they sift through the garbage and discarded junk for food in order to exist. Their occupation is passed on from generation to generation, and there is no hope for improvement because of their beliefs.

Nevertheless, in the midst of their poverty, they have great love for their Lord Jesus. If they would renounce the Savior for Mohammed, their lot in life would change drastically. But they will not do that. Instead, they eke out an existence on garbage and castaways because they love God. Philippians 4:11 and 13 is their source of strength: I have learned, in whatsoever state [condition] I am, therewith to be content. [For] I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

This is the spirit of revival.

I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

America, freedom rings. You can still worship at the church of your choice, cast a secret ballot, and even criticize your government without fearing a knock on the head or a knock on the door at midnight. And if you want to live under a different system, you are free to go. There are no walls or fences — nothing to keep you here.”

Contentment is a Command

Oh, be thankful. Did you know that contentment is a command from God? He says in Hebrews 13:5, Be content with such things as ye have. Contentment is indicative of our spiritual temperature, and it also indicates a thankful spirit.

John Wesley records a conversation with a porter at Oxford College which changed his life. The man called at Wesley’s room late one evening and said that he wished to talk with Mr. Wesley. After talking for

quite some time, Mr. Wesley, in a spirit of pleasantry, said to the porter, “Go home and get another coat.”

The man replied, “This is the only coat I have in the world, and I thank God for it.”

Then demanded Wesley, “Go home and get your supper.”

The man again replied, “I

have no money or food, but I have had a good cold glass of water today. And I thank God for it.”

John Wesley again cried, “Go home and rest.”

The porter answered, “I have no home, but thank God that I have dry stones upon which I can recline at night.”

John Wesley, the founder of Methodism, then said, “You thank God that you have nothing to wear, noth ing to eat, and no bed in which to sleep. Is there any other reason you are grateful?”

“Oh, yes,” said the porter, “I thank God that He has given me life and health and a heart to love and serve Him.”

Is it any wonder that John Wesley declared that his conversation with this pauper had revealed to him something to which he had been a total stranger?

Where do you stand today, dear friend? Oh, be thankful, for the offering of thanksgiving to God is the duty of all His children, whether circumstances are good or bad, right or wrong,

happy or heartbreak ing.

Why? He is God, and He is in

control. The Bible says, Offer unto God thanksgiving (Psalm 50:14). [Give] thanks always for all things (Ephesians 5:20). Continue in prayer ... with thanksgiving (Colossians 4:2). In every thing give thanks (I Thessalonians 5:18). Yes, Thanksgiving ... [to] our God for ever and ever (Revelation 7:12).

Thankfulness, as a duty then, is prominent in the Bible. It should have a big place in our lives, for thankfulness is the declarative mood of gratitude, a great incentive to faith, a glorifier of God, and a subduer of the lower nature.

We are fast approaching my favorite time of the year. As we celebrate Thanksgiving and Christmas, my mind goes back to all those wonderful times I had together with my family. We had a wonderful tradition in our home for Christmas. We would never open our gifts until my father read the entire Christmas story. He always emphasized that the birth of the Savior is what Christmas is truly about, not the opening of gifts, not even enjoying Mother’s wonderful dinner, but instead the awe-inspiring fact that God became Flesh to dwell among us. What a blessing it was to be reared in a home that taught the truths of God’s love and the

joy of celebrating the birth of Christ as a family.

We recognize the contrast to this is what the world celebrates today. The emphasis in our society is shopping, decorating, and rushing around so much to the point that we hardly have time to enjoy Christmas. It seems like the stores put up their Christmas sale displays earlier and earlier each year. I wouldn’t be surprised to see some of them come up with a “Back to School Christmas Sale” in the month of August. Christmas has become a time when people often go out on a limb financially, and even get into debt in order to provide gifts for friends and loved ones. There

is nothing wrong with wanting to give someone a gift. There is a special joy and blessing in sharing as long as we put the right value on it. A gift under the tree should always remind us of the gift from heaven — the tree also should remind us ultimately of why Jesus came to be our Savior. And of course, this reminds us of Calvary’s tree.

Every gift that we buy, every gift that we open, and every gift that we look at under the tree should remind us of the greatest Gift of all — a Gift that was laid in the manger and wrapped in the simplest way — in swaddling clothes … which brings us to the Christmas story.

WOuLd I BE?Where

miraculousBeing a shepherd during

the time of Christ was not a 9-5 job. The shepherds would spend every hour of every day with their sheep, leading them, protecting them from predators and thieves, and tending their wounds. If I had been a chosen shepherd who heard the voice of an angel, would I have received the message? Or would I have said, “Oh no, oh my goodness, this is just a dream, I can’t accept this. This is too much to absorb, for who am I? I’m just a poor little shepherd out here — I can’t be expected to actually have seen an angel and have the glory of the Lord around me and hear the angel announce, For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.” I find it hard to imagine what they thought. But where would I have been? Would I have said, “I’m going to leave the sheep, and I’m going to follow the greatest announcement that has ever been given to the

world — that is that Christ the Lord has been born.

Traditionally, the sheep that were raised in the fields near Bethlehem were used for the Temple sacrifices to cover the sins of the people. How

beautiful and how perfect is it that God called these shepherds, who were very familiar with the requirements for a sacrificial lamb, to be the first ones to see, outside of Mary and Joseph, the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world?

I pray that I would have done exactly what these lowly shepherds did. That I would have not only listened to the announcement but I would have heard and reacted positively: And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace,

good will toward men.I can almost hear God

saying: “Well, you may have trouble believing

in the message from one angel, so I’ll show you the Heavenly Host.” If there had been any shadow of a doubt in their minds, there could be no question that

this was something tremendously out of

the ordinary.

Think of it, the shepherds could have been frightened beyond all description, but the minute they heard the host praising God and saying “Glory to God,” the shepherds said, “Let us now go even unto

Bethlehem....” I can’t imagine the tremendous shaking in their hearts as they thought, “Here is God’s Son being born. Let’s go now to see heaven’s greatest gift to the world.”

Once we get a message from heaven, our response should be, “Let’s go now.” When Jesus gave the Great Commission, our response should be, “Let’s go now.”

I am so grateful that God not only gave the middle class (the innkeeper) the opportunity to come forth and be blessed, but He also gave the humble, lowly shepherds the same opportunity.

Once again, let’s consider a third class of people. The wealthy upper class — yes, the lofty wise men who responded to another heavenly sign and came to worship Jesus.

Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king,

behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, saying,

Where is he that is born King of the Jews? For

we have seen his star in

And she brought forth her firstborn son,

and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no

room for them in the inn (Luke 2:7).

As I read of our Lord’s birth in the Gospels of Luke and Matthew, I cannot help but wonder two things: Where would I have been and what would I have done if I had been on the earth at that time? Would I have reacted the same way to this ancient scenario as some people reacted? First of all, where would I have been and how would I have responded if I had been the innkeeper?

We all know that as a result of the decree of Caesar Augustus, every person was required to go to the town of his or her birth to register and pay taxes. This is why the innkeeper had a problem. Yes, the inn was filled to capacity, and therefore no room was available for Joseph and Mary. I’m sure that if he had an extra room he would have said, “Oh yes, you are going to have a baby, you are going to soon bring forth a child, and so I need to give you the best room in my inn.” But because of the overflow of people, there was no room in the inn. If I had been the innkeeper, would I have been sitting behind the desk saying, “I don’t have room for you, but I’ll put you in the stable”? Or would I have come out from behind that desk with compassion and understanding and found a warm and comfortable place for Mary

to have her precious baby?Every time I read this

passage, I think of the story of the young boy who was born with Down Syndrome who had a part in his church’s Christmas pageant. This young boy loved the Lord and was so proud to be playing the part of the innkeeper. He went around the house practicing his lines: “There’s no room at the inn — you will have to stay in the stable.” The night of the pageant came and there he was, dressed in costume and standing before the audience. The two children came in who were playing the parts of Joseph and Mary; they said their lines and waited for the response from the innkeeper. He looked nervous, but then took a deep breath and said his line just as he had practiced it: “There’s no room at the inn — you’ll have to stay in the stable.” As Mary and Joseph started to exit the stage to move on to the next scene, a pained look came across his face and suddenly he cried out: “No, wait, wait, you can have MY room!”

Oh, to have such a loving heart as that precious child exhibited. What a joy that would have been for me if I had been able to say as the innkeeper, “Please come and stay in my room; enjoy my humble dwelling and let me help you through this special time as you are ready to give birth.” Would I have just remained behind that desk and said to my co-workers, “Take them into the stable and they can have the straw out there on which to lay the baby”? It brings tears to my eyes to think that

this is where God knew and divinely planned for His Son to be born.

The Gospel story is inclusive of every class of people — the lowly as well as the middle and upper class of society. I would probably say that the innkeeper would be considered, in that era of time, as the middle class of his society. Had I been in the middle class of that day, would I have been humble enough to say “I will go into the stable, you stay in my room”? Where would I have been if God had given me this choice to make? What a great opportunity to show my love and compassion for the parents and for the Savior of the world.

Let’s take a look at another class of people — the lowly shepherds.

And there were in the same country shepherds

abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.

And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And

the angel said unto them, Fear not:

for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy,

which shall be to all people (Luke 2:8-10).

Every gift that we buy, every gift that we open, and every gift that we look at under the tree should remind us of the greatest Gift of all …

be an unusual confluence of stars in the sky, and it doesn’t have any special meaning. Thank the Lord they said that this is significant, this is important, we have to go and find out about the true meaning of this special sign. They went, they asked the right questions until they got the true answer they needed to find Christ Jesus, the Savior of the world. Would I have been that persistent?

As the innkeeper, would I have stayed behind the counter and told Mary she could go into the stable to have her child amongst the animals? Instead, I trust that I would have been quickly on my feet to help her.

I pray that I would have been one of the shepherds quickly on my feet to say, “Let us go now as the angels have instructed us.”

And if I had been a wealthy Magi, I trust that I would have used that wisdom to follow the

star and keep asking the right question until I found the way to worship Jesus.

What would I have done if I lived back then? Whether I was wealthy, middle class, or poor, where would I have been? I trust that I would have made the right choice. Today I have the joy of making the right choice! I have chosen to open my heart and life to Jesus the Lord and ask Him to dwell there. Truly one can only be complete if Christ is in one’s heart!

As we celebrate this glorious season, we need to keep our eyes on what is truly important. This is so beautifully illustrated in the painting by Rembrandt, The Adoration of the Shepherds, where all of the light was made to fall on the baby in the manger. Everyone and everything else was only in the shadows. Let us focus on Him, now and always.

Dear Jack and Rexella, God bless you for being great

and loyal preachers of the Bible. I watch and enjoy your teachings on TBN. What a team you make as true messengers of Christ, my JESUS, Lord of lords and King of kings. May God keep both of you healthy and safe in His loving hands always. Thank you so much.

gloriousthe east, and are come to

worship him (Matthew 2:1-2).

Nothing much is known about these wise men, or Magi, other than they were from the Orient. Historically the Magi were scholars, with a great knowledge of science, agriculture, mathematics,

and history. These Magi saw a spectacular star appear in the sky, such as they had never seen before, and they took it to be an indication of an extraordinary person being born in the land of Judea.

If I had been a scholar, a wealthy wise man, and I saw a star suddenly appear before me, would I have followed it? It would have been very easy for them to say: “If an important king was born that warrants such a sign, I’m sure that we will hear of it soon in our own country, and then we can go and pay homage to him.” But they did not wait; they set out to find this King, and to worship Him. It was not easy as they traveled the dusty, hot long trail on their camels. Yes, it necessitated going through the desert, and all of this simply because of a star giving the announcement of Christ’s birth.

When they arrived in Jerusalem, they began asking: “Where is He who has been born King of the Jews?” The

original Greek here emphasizes a continual action, suggesting that they went up to every person they saw and asked this question. Because they as foreigners knew of this monumental birth, they assumed that everyone in Judea, and especially in Jerusalem, would have been aware of this also. Can you imagine the shock

they felt when no one seemed to know about that to which they were referring?

I believe that they must have begun to question all that they had seen and heard up to this point. Here they were after having traveled a long distance because of a star that they had seen while in their homeland. They must have been terribly confused as to where they should go. Despite what is traditionally taught, the Bible here indicates that the star did not appear to them and lead them during their travels. The passage here tells us that they did not see the star again until after they had met with Herod:

When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was. When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy (Matthew 2:9-10).

The joy that they felt when they saw the star once again

was almost indescribable. The original text piles up superlative upon superlative to emphasize the extent of exhilaration they felt. The star not only reappeared, but it led them directly to the home where Jesus was:

And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense and myrrh (Matthew 2:11).

When they got to the house of Mary and Joseph, they did something that they longed to do, they bowed down and worshipped Jesus. Then they presented their gifts to Him, gold, frankincense, and myrrh. The Bible does not tell us what was done with these gifts, but it is very likely that Joseph used them to finance their trip they had made to Egypt and help to support the family while they were there. We know the reason for their journey to Egypt as found in Matthew 2:13-15.

Now, I must put myself in the Magi’s place. Where would I have been while in the atmosphere of my homeland? Could I be thinking, “I don’t need the desert, I don’t need to get on that camel and go to who knows where”? And would I have tried to rationalize the signs away? After all, there could be many meanings to that star — how do I know for certain that this is really something special? It could just

TOP IRAN CLERIC REJECTS HOLOCAUST AS ‘SUPERSTITION’

Breitbart.com reports: “A senior Iranian cleric, Grand Ayatollah Nasser Makarem Shirazi, dismissed the Nazi Holocaust of Jews during

World War II as a new ‘superstition’ for the West, media reported.

‘The Holocaust is nothing but superstition, but Zionists say that people of the world should be forced to accept this,’ he was quoted as saying by the state news agency IRNA.

‘Americans and Westerners are affected by newly appeared superstitions such as the Holocaust,’ he said according to IRNA news agency.

‘The truth about the Holocaust is not clear, and when the researchers want to examine whether it is true or the Jews have created it to pose as victims, they jail the researchers,’ said Makarem Shirazi, who is a ‘marja,’ or among the highest authorities in Shiite Islam.

Iran’s hardline President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has repeatedly branded the Holocaust a ‘myth’ in his frequent anti-Israel diatribes drawing international condemnation, but Iran’s prominent clergy have rarely echoed such comments.

Several opposition figures have also rebuked Ahmadinejad over questioning the Holocaust while backing the Palestinian cause.

The comments came after

Ahmadinejad dismissed revived Israeli-Palestinian peace talks as ‘doomed’ to fail and said the people of the Middle East are ‘capable of removing the Zionist regime’ from the world scene....” (Pope Benedict XVI calls this Holocaust denial a great and evil sin. I agree. The documented facts covering 16 miles of filing cabinets containing 50 million pages of proofs in Bad Arolsen, Germany, makes all deniers look like mental idiots.)

SUN STORM TO HIT WITH ‘FORCE OF 100M BOMBS’

News.com.au reports: “After 10 years of comparative slumber, the sun is waking up — and it’s got astronomers on full alert.

…Several U.S. media outlets reported that NASA was warning the massive flare that caused spectacular light shows on Earth earlier was just a precursor to a massive solar storm building that had the potential to wipe out the entire planet’s power grid.

NASA has since rebutted those reports, saying it could come ‘100 years away or just 100 days,’ but an Australian astronomer says the space community is betting on the sooner scenario rather than the latter.

Despite its rebuttal, NASA’s been watching out for this storm since 2006 and reports from the U.S. claim the storms could hit on that most Hollywood of disaster dates — 2012.

Similar storms back in 1859 and 1921 caused worldwide chaos, wiping out telegraph wires on a massive scale.

The 2012 storm has the potential to be even more disruptive.

‘The general consensus among general astronomers (and certainly solar astronomers) is that this coming Solar maximum (2012 but possibly later into 2013) will be the most violent in 100 years,’ astronomy lecturer and columnist Dave Reneke said.

‘A bold statement and one taken seriously by those it will affect most, namely airline companies, communications companies and anyone working with modern GPS systems.

‘They can even trip circuit breakers and knock out orbiting satellites, as has already been done this year.’

Regardless, the point astronomers are making is it doesn’t matter if the next Solar Max isn’t the worst in history, or even as bad as the 1859 storms.

It’s the fact that there hasn’t been one since the mid-80s. Commodore had just launched the Amiga and the only digital storm making the news was Tetris.

No one really knows what effect the 2012-2013 Solar Max will have on today’s digital-reliant society.

Dr. Richard Fisher, director of NASA’s Heliophysics division, told Mr. Reneke the super storm would hit like ‘a bolt of lightning,’ causing catastrophic consequences for the world’s health, emergency services and national security unless precautions are taken....” (The solar sun storm is predicted by NASA for 2012 — the Mayan calendar date for the greatest calamity ever — Luke 21:25-26.)

A ‘new world order’signals the return of the Lord!

“I come to Berlin as ... a fellow citizen of the world.... People of the world, this is our moment, this is our time ... answer our destiny, and remake the world once again.”

When Barack Obama spoke in

Germany, the press said if he were

running in the E.U., he would have

been elected by a landslide 80%.

• The last sign before Christ’s return is the establishment of a one-world government. Are we witnessing the dawning of that day?

• Revelation 17:10 spells out that human history will conclude after seven world empires. The ancient Roman empire has been revived as the European Union. Could it be the seventh and final empire of prophecy?

• International governments are hailing the U.S. President ... the Illuminati, the Bilderbergs, the CFR, the Trilateral Commission, and others are promoting a new world order ... Don’t you and your family need to be prepared for the prophetic future about to unfold?!

Drs. Jack and Rexella Van Impe have prepared the truth about the coming new world order in this amazing video. Get it today — and share it with all your friends. This is shocking information that everyone needs to hear and understand.

Hello Jack and Rexella,I thank God for you both …

thank God that someone who has a voice is willing to take a stand for Jesus Christ, for the Bible, for the truth of the prophetic times we are in.

I belong to an Anglican church and am totally frustrated, depressed, heartbroken, and ashamed at the wishy-washy behavior and words of our top authorities/leaders that are setting disastrous role models. How did they ever get to these positions of final authority for the Anglican Body of Christ? Because I “MILDLY” rock the boat to these sleeping Christians, I can’t even give a simple Bible study. They’re looking for academic head knowledge. God’s anointing accounts for nothing!

Yet God’s people are dying for lack of biblical knowledge. They just don’t seem to want to pay any attention to the truth of the Bible, or bother to promote it, for fear we might know the truth and the truth will set us free from worldly deception infiltrating the church body. “Union at all cost” seems to be their motto. To me, this is lowest common denominator “New Age teaching” (false doctrine).

God Himself knows — I’m torn between leaving, because

in my mind, the body of the Anglican church represents the lukewarm church of Laodicea of the last days in Rev. 3:14 — and I don’t.

But on the other hand, one can put a thousand to flight. Possibly with God’s grace, He’ll use me as an Esther — to save, or at least awaken, this portion of the body of Christ to the biblical will of God. If God can use a fisherman, He can use me.

To the world I’m a nobody — but to Almighty God, I’m a daughter of the Most High God … and plan to behave that way. My future is in His hands. He’s the

author and finisher of my faith.The Lord gave me a verse

to give me peace, found in Rev. 17:17: “For God hath put in their hearts to fulfill his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.”

To reject God’s Word is to reject Him; He won’t take our free will away, but there will be consequences. I can see this as part of the beginning of the “Antichrist one-world church system.”

The Lord did say there will be a great falling away from the

faith. It horrifies me to see this happening in the great leaders of the head of the Anglican church — and their flocks, so trusting, loving, caring, peacemakers being so deceived. It’s like watching a frog slowly being cooked and killed.

I don’t ever want YOU to stop declaring God’s truth. You’re waking the world — people are listening — being provoked — being led to salvation “in Christ,” others are being rooted and grounded to take a stand , and still others who know the truth but have no desire to become overcomers “in Christ” are being exposed.

God has indeed begun to judge and justify those who are His (exposing/separating the wheat from the tares).

It’s time for God’s true children to step forward, like you. Again, God bless you mightily.

Know this — we Anglicans need your ministry too! In order for me to stay and be part of the Army of God and break the strongholds of the devil, we need you. If it weren’t for you and your ministry, I’d think I was losing it. You have no idea how many — worldwide — you build up, inspire, encourage, enlighten … you’re a weekly touch from God.

May Almighty God bless us all with ever-increasing godly wisdom and knowledge. Amen.

Love in Christ, Gary and Gloria

For the last three weeks, I was devastated when I turned to the station at 1:00 a.m. on Saturday that your show was

Hi, I was watching your program tonight and during the prayer I had this overwhelming feeling come over my body. I have never felt this way during prayer before. I could feel the presence of God my Lord and Savior next to me. It was the GREATEST feeling in the world. I enjoyed the show very much. I am a brand-new viewer. This was my first time watching and I can’t wait to see the program again. Thank you for such a great program!!

Hi my name is Leeanna, I’m 21 years old, and live in Canada.

I love your show, it changed my life. I was very afraid before of dying, but after watching your show and the tapes, I feel that I am saved. I let the Lord into my heart and am passing on His words to my family. Thank you, Jack and Rexella, for showing me the path. Now I’ll let the Lord light the rest of the way. God bless.

Dear Jack,As a long-time Catholic

(converted from Baptist) I always enjoy a good message no matter what the denomination. I’ve been watching you for

a number of years, and your treatment of the Catholic church has always been one of respect, and I appreciate that. I’ve been recovering from hip surgery and have been watching a great deal of ministers (or so-called ministers) on television. I hear too much emphasis on financial matters and not enough on the mess we are facing because we don’t have Christ as the focus of our lives. They are more concerned with keeping their lifestyle in place and not with the saving of souls who are lost. Without fail, you preach the Gospel and I appreciate that. You do not sugarcoat it, you preach

My life is in shambles, and I am hanging on by a thread. Your program was one half-hour in the week that made me feel I was not living in an ugly, insane world owned by Satan. You gave me hope that the Lord was coming to claim a world that had gone so far bad, that only HE could fix it.

I just want to say that I am ever so grateful that I now see I can watch your shows on your website. I have some catching up to do and can’t wait to watch them all.

God bless you, Jack and Rexella, and thank you for giving validation to what I have believed about this world for some time now. I have put off a lot of people because of my beliefs and am desperately alone, but I am hanging on, awaiting the Lord’s arrival.

Yours in the Lord,L.D.

I have so much faith in all your comments because you back everything up with Scriptures; so there is no denying that what you say is the truth.

I am so thankful that someone told me about you. I haven’t been much of a TV watcher for years, and since

my husband of 53 years went to heaven last year, I watch even less, but I can hardly wait to watch your program every week.

I tell everyone I know that they should watch your program.

God bless both you and Rexella. What a blessing you are to me.

What if radical extremists were in charge of the government?Book and DVD combo shows the shocking truth: THEY ARE!

White House Radicals

Radical RulersThe amazing DVD spotlights the Obama administration

Powerful book exposes our leaders’ appalling agenda

The Bible clearly spells out the decimation of civilization, morality, and values that must take place before the coming of the Lord and Armageddon — and the radicalization of the White House and federal government seems to be the

fulfillment of this prophecy!This astounding book and DVD set was thoroughly researched and impeccably documented to

truthfully present the facts that show:

• The shocking appointments to U.S. government ... abortion advocates, pedophile sympathizers, socialists, pro-communists, and other radicals.

• The “czars” of diversity, climate change, safe schools ... nearly all are promoting a radical agenda.

• The newly-created, unelected, taxpayer-funded government positions with aims that completely contradict the values of our Founding Fathers.

• The relentless march toward: socialism, slaughter of the unborn, anti-Christian censorship, health care rationing for the elderly, and national bankruptcy!

How close are we to the one-world government and world religion predicted in prophecy? The United States is right now poised on the edge of an anti-God system that could usher in the latter days. That system is socialism!

A socialist America: impossible? It’s already on its way.

Look at the evidence. Newt Gingrich writes that President Obama’s “secular socialist machine” is a threat to America on the order of Nazi Germany and Communist Russia!

The history of socialism is a history of untold suffering.

Socialism is anti-God. The White House told Catholic Georgetown University that symbols of Christ, including crucifixes, had to be covered up before our President would speak there! That’s the beginning of socialism.
