We got a job to do. We are to take the Gospel to the nations. Jesus is our Master and Teacher. He's the One who told us to "go." Jesus said: All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age" (Matthew 28:18-20 New American Standard Bible). Soon we will be put to the test. Already the hirelings are fleeing (John 10:12-13). It's happening just like Jesus said. The wolf is coming and I'm afraid the sheep are unprepared. As I write, the world's eyes are on the next scheduled meeting between the EU's Javier Solana and Iran's chief nuclear negotiator Read about it here. There is reason for the world's concern. At issue is war or peace. But, I'm beginning to think there may be something much more involved. If you are a regular at FP, you are aware of some concerns besides war and peace. As we've been reporting, there is reason to believe the end-time prophecies of the Bible are beginning to be fulfilled. Up to this point our primary focus has been the events in the European Union. I awoke this morning with the understanding that FP's reporting may be entering another phase. You see, I stumbled on some information that, as far as Bible prophecy is concerned, may be as important as the Western European Union's Assembly Recommendation 666. While all eyes are on the coming meeting between Solana and the Iranian negotiator, former Iranian President Mohammad Khatami is visiting the US Read about it here. What is Khatami doing besides condemning America's foreign policies? As strange as it sound, Khatami is going around speaking to America's Muslims about the evils of extremism, the need for tolerance and inter-religious dialogue. Khatami is reported to have said: Muslims must forge a new identity that embraces the modern world, tolerates other religions and works toward peace. I don't know about you, but when I hear that an Iranian political/religious leader is going around talking about religious tolerance, I wonder what's up. Well, here it is: He was invited to the US by the UN's Alliance of Civilizations, of which he is a founding member. The alliance's high-level group, which will meet tomorrow and Wednesday, strives to foster cross-cultural understanding between Western and Islamic states Read about it here. Evidently, not only is Iran's Khatami participating in the UN's new Alliance of Civilizations (AOC), he is a founding member. Friends, if the AOC is what I think it is, the road before us may soon become very difficult. You see, the ultimate goal of the AOC is to create a super religious authority within the UN -- just as I speculate in my book. And, the international community wants their religious authority in place by 2010 AOC pdf. In other words, we may now be witnessing the beginning of the rise of the second beasts -- the beast from the earth (Revelation 13: 11). For us at FP, this is where things gets even more scary. The AOC was proposed by Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodríguez Zapatero Read about it here. Zapatero, as you know, works closely with his fellow Spanish Socialist party member, the EU's High Representative Javier Solana. And, Spain will hold the EU's rotating presidency in 2010 -- when the AOC is to be up and running, and in the middle of the coming seven-year period. Evidently, the AOC may actually be Solana's 1995 Barcelona Process going global. If you don't think this idea should concern you, take a look at today's news about the EU's new anti-terror measures. It seems, among other things, the EU is going to begin teaching Islamic preachers what it calls, "European values" Read about it here. I wonder what type of preachers could be next? Friends, I think I see the wolf coming. Nevertheless, we have a job to do.. 09-05-2006
