This news reminds me of the second world war. The difference is, this time it's the British who are the ones joining the war late -- not the United States. I'm talking, of course, about the West's war against terror. 

But, since experiencing their own 9//11, Prime Minister Tony Blair is taking things farther. He's not just wishing to lead a war against terror, he's wanting to lead a war against what he calls "evil ideology." Friends, this is where it gets scary.

Why is this news scary? The Bible tells us the coming Antichrist and 10 kings will wage a war against the Lamb for one hour (Revelation 17: 12-14). I suspect that's what this is leading to.

Yesterday I was listening to Blair speaking about combating terror on C-Span when I heard him mention something I had never heard about before -- eBorders. A Google search lead me to the links I provided on my Website Read it here I  And here I  And here I  PDF . 

The more I read about eBorders, the more I began thinking this may be it -- the system that will be used in the middle of the 70th week to implement the mark of the beast.

Although it's said to be a project to protect the borders of the UK, since it involves global travel, the system must be global in nature. Furthermore, since the UK holds the EU's rotating presidency, it's reasonable to assume this system will also be installed across most of Europe.

Keep in mind, following America's 9/11, the other NATO nations -- including the UK -- invoked their mutual defense clause. That's because in a mutual defense agreement an attack against one is seen as an attack against all. Well, the UK is also member to another mutual defense treaty -- the modified Brussels Treaty. The commitment is carried out through a 10-nation military alliance known as the Western European Union (WEU).

The point I'm making is, when the London bombings occurred, it's reasonable to assume the 10 WEU nations saw the attack against the UK as an attack against them all. So, it is reasonable to assume all the WEU nations will participate in the UK's eBorders system.

As I said earlier, eBorders is a global electronic tracking and security system. Once in place, it will allow the West's leaders to keep track of almost everything imaginable. It will not only track people and goods, it will also keep track of what people do and buy. That's because, eBorders is part of a much bigger surveillance and security project that the EU is implementing Read about it here  I  And here  I  And here .

As you know, I suspect the EU's next seven-year budget period could actually be the foretold 70th week of Daniel. It will begin on January 1, 2007. The reasons I believe this are many and I deal with the subject in the overview near the top of my homepage. Here's my point: This new tracking and surveillance system is to be fully up and running sometime in 2010 Read about it here. Friends, that's the middle of that seven-year period.

Am I sure the 70th week of Daniel will begin on January 1, 2007? Of course not. And, I wouldn't bet the farm on it either. Why? Because, there have been too many false calls made about things like this before. This could be another false call.

In the meantime, the prophetic chain of events keeps getting longer. The good news is, the long wait for our Lord's return is getting shorter. 

Stay tuned!
