Joy -

Your beliefs are so right. I am dumbfounded how many people on earth are so deceived from the basic point you make. The meaning of the Bible is simple, but in order to understand its real meaning, one must ask for the love of Christ to enter their spirit as they read God's word. Once a person surrenders their life to Christ and asks him to reveal God's true word, the Christian is reborn. In order to understand all the symbolism in the Bible, one must seek God's knowledge. Sadly, most of the Church has lost its focus.

I want to expand on what you said about what it truly means to be a Christian. You are correct that a true Christian will love all people. I mean ALL people, especially the Jews. Christ was a Jew and so were the writers of the Bible and all the prophets and apostles. Once one understands God's covenant with his people, one's life will change. God wants ALL of us to seek his word and ask for his blessings into their hearts and change us into Godly people instead of worldly people. My point is this: The things here on earth are just things. They are not God-inspired. Satan is alive and well on earth. His ways are to manipulate and deceive. That is Satan's game...to deceive and steal God's creation. The good news is Satan will never win. He will face his utter demise at the end of the 1000 year reign of Christ on earth, which will take place after the rapture and the great tribulation.

We are living in the end times. All on earth need pay attention to the events unfolding in the world around us and put it all in a Biblical perspective. GOD is giving us so many signs. The reason he is doing this is because he wants as many of us to find him as possible before the great tribulation begins.

As for Walid Shoebat, I believe God is using him, and others like him (ie. Brigitte Gabriel), to spread the truth. The claim somebody on here made that Walid must be a phony because he uses a pseudo name and says he does so because his life is in danger, is absurd! Anyone who reads Walid's books or listens to his speeches, and then follows up with a study of their own, will see he is the real deal.

The problem with the world, and especially America, is that too many people believe what the media reports is true. Much of it is half truth or just flat out lies.

Do NOT be deceived. We are living in the Biblical end times indeed!
