Dear Jane, I just saw this thread. You may be interested to know that someone told me that Jack Van Impe said the other day that some government agency (CIA, I think, but can't remember) said they have satellite photos of Noah's Ark. This was a passing conversation, so forgive me if I have botched it up. If this is true, it is highly significant (at least to me). The Bible says that right before the Second Coming it will be "as in the days of Noah". I always took it to mean solely the way people were living, but I have found that the Bible seems to be so simple and complex at the very same time. In the days of Noah, people were wicked (I just heard on the radio yesterday a commentator talking about why Americans don't seem to care about the President's personal life, even if EVERY SPECULATION is true. He went on to say that perhaps our country was no longer as puritanical as it has been perceived in relation to other countries -- most of which are almost 100% agnostic at best -- I am talking about the way the countries are run, the media in them, the viewable morals, etc. He then said that Americans rented and bought 600 MILLION x-rated videos last year! I realize this is only one small part of our countries morality, but it is easily tracked to see where our country has been going the past 50 years. Television (most certainly cable and satellite) has gone from wholesome, to what "dirty old men" used to sneak to see. Our children and grandchildren are now exposed via the Internet, etc. to images that ONLY dirty old men and perverts used to have available. I'm not saying it has not always been human nature to WANT to see and PRACTICE such things, but society and people on the whole were disciplined and had enough of a morale background to RESIST. They do not any longer. This increasing bombardment is a direct manipulation of Satan. It has warped the minds of the young. They have grown up with their minds being molded to NOT be shocked by anything. I have heard "Christian" parents today say things like, "they have to live in the world" as a justification for letting their kids see PG, PG-13, and R-rated movies. Christians have become so much a "part of the world" that they now throw out those parts of Scripture that make them uncomfortable. Satan has the world right where he wants it. The funny thing is, it is also right where it had to be in order for his fate to be sealed -- he will laugh all the way the pit (stupid, stupid angel). I am still debating what I think concerning the 7-year Tribulation period. Many believe that the Church will be raptured first. All I know is that if we are still here when the Anti-Christ comes up with an identification system, Christians today are so ignorant of Scripture, that many, if not most would take the mark (or scan, or whatever) -- there are a lot of implications in that! Another area Christians have swallowed completely is this new-age movement to "not be critical", but "be accepting" of EVERYONE. It amazes me when I hear "Christians" say things like "everyone in every country and religion has their way to God, and if they are sincere, then they will go to Heaven". This is exactly as Satan planned it -- keep everyone away from the truth (Jesus) -- it sets up a one-world religion, one-world government, etc. All the things necessary for the Anti-Christ to take over -- astonishing the accuracy of the Bible and the last days setup, while not just the world, but Christians themselves are completely ignorant as to what is happening around them. They are spending way too much time trying to stride the fence between what the Bible says and the fun time living in this world -- of which we are to be just "passing through", not "settling in". We are very close I believe. I remain, SOROS
