YOUR END TIMES PROPHECY--GUARANTEED

                                 YOUR END TIMES PROPHECY--GUARANTEED      

                                                     Prologue

    No, there is no date, but there is strict adherence to inspired scripture as found
in the Christian bible. You, as a professing or loosely committed Christian will be
able to chart your own prophecy based on your obedience to Christ's teaching.
There is no "spin", unless you choose to personally interpret the very Word of God
to suit your own purposes. Scripture is presented in plain English. The second part
of this message deals with prophecy of the United States, also according to the
inspired Christian bible.

                                                Self Test for a Christian

    You begin the self test by judging yourself to be committed to Jesus Christ as your
Savior through His shed blood. If so, you must agree that to accept this free gift of
eternal life you must follow His teaching as presented in scripture. That does not
mean selecting a verse here or there to suit your wishes. The Ten Commandments
are still in effect, and each one bears the same amount of sin. You can't pick and
choose, i.e. murder is worse than envy. When I was a young  boy, I accompanied my
mother when she delivered grocery orders from our country store to local people
who lacked transportation. In most cases, the person would be a divorced woman, 
perhaps in mid to late 30s with no children. Divorce, for a woman at that time was
ranked right next to murder, and most church people judged divorce and murder as
the "worst" sin.

    If you are a committed Christian, you must believe the Word of God as given us 
in Matt. 12:31 (and Mark 3:28-29.) All sins are equal except this one described as
follows: "Therefore I say to you, EVERY sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but
the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men. Unless you deny the Holy
Spirit, Christ has delivered you to eternal life. You may not like this warning from me,
but it is not my opinion, but word for word from Jesus Christ. All sins except this one
are forgivable, and each carries the same condemnation until covered by the shed
blood of Christ.

    Therefore, if you base your judgment of anyone on any one or two specific sins, 
you are not following the very words Christ taught. Matt. 7:1,2 warns us "Judge not 
that you be not judged. For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and
with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you." Emotions usually rule
a person's rush to separate some sins from others as worse than others. Since we
are all guilty of various sins, we must not be quick to judge the character of others.

    The next questions only need an educated yes or no. First, do you understand
Matt. 5:17, "Do not think that I come to destroy the Law or the Prophets; I did not 
come to destroy but to fulfill." Christ is speaking of the Ten Commandments, not
the multitude of civil laws put in place to establish order. Note carefully that Christ
added an Eleventh Commandment as stated in Mark 12:31, "And the second, like
it, is this: You shall love your neighbor as yourself." The second question comes
from Samuel 15:22. "So Samuel said: Has the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings
and sacrifices, As in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than
sacrifice, And to heed than the fat of rams." Nothing replaces obedience to God.

    Some Christian denominations do not recognize the rapture: the taking of
Christians from earth to heaven before or during the tribulation of the end time.
That is unfortunate because this period of time is described in detail in the
Gospels as well as Revelation. If you do not believe in the rapture, you will have
a very difficult time trying to explain some of Christ's teaching. The rapture is
described in brief in Matt. 24:40, 41. "Then two men will be in the field: one
will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will
be taken and other left."

    Verse 42 tells us to Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord
is coming." Look at Matt. 25:1-13, which warns us to watch. This tells us that the
bridegroom (Christ) is coming to marry the Church--Christian believers. This has
nothing to do with Christ coming on a white horse with saints to do battle with the
forces of Satan. This coming of Christ is for a joyous occasion. Be sure to read
the verses I pointed out. You should always have oil for your lamp because it
represents the Word of God and the light of the world. This celebration occurs
before the great battle. True believers join Christ and leave the great tribulation.

    One of two things will happen to us in the future. We will either die or be raptured.
Those not raptured during or before the tribulation period will have their commitment
to Christ severely tested on penalty of death because the Anti-Christ will be in
charge. It is especially thrilling to read about the rapture of Elijah in 2 Kings 2:11.
If you are alive in the tribulation period, will you qualify for the rapture? Are you
paying attention to Christ's teaching, word for word, in scripture? Or are you
rushing to a predetermined false understanding to suit your wishes? Let's check
it out.

    Go to Matt. 25:26, "But his lord (wealthy man) answered and said to him, You
wicked and lazy servant, you knew that I reap where I have not sown, and gather
where I have not scattered seed. (27) So you ought to have deposited my money
with the bankers, and at my coming I would have received back my own with
interest." The servant broke no Commandment, but the wealthy man admitted
his success was based on being a thief, or, as we would describe it, as being
a plain and simple crook. It was all about money and profit. I pray you have never
used this parable from Christ's teaching to make a dishonest profit.

    Your actions speak louder than your words. If you accepted Christ as your
Savior, you must represent that melding of spirit with your physical and mental
actions. Your actions don't get you into heaven, but they point out two things:
was your commitment to Christ true, and these acts on earth determine your
"rewards" in heaven. 

    This final question has disturbed me more than any other over the past year.
If you are a true Christian you must be able to give yourself an honest answer.
It is your judgment, and a very important part of your commitment. Matt. 15:11
warns us, "Not what goes into the mouth defiles a man; but what comes out of
the mouth, this defiles a man." I have read or heard the comments from people
who claim they are Christians that other people who do not agree with their
political philosophy are evil and not Christians. This claim wraps up so many,
including military veterans of both political parties who pledged their life to
protect our Constitution. The slander and cursing against others because they
don't agree with your philosophy certainly aren't any example of Christianity,
and automatically disqualify the person as a Christian. In short, they are
imposters. Christ did not teach this ranting. If you are guilty of this, you had better
seek forgiveness. If your heart is set in stone with these feelings, it is probable
your heart is indeed set in stone--the stone of reprobation (condemnation). The
concluding test of personal judgment comes from Matt. 7:3. "And why do you
look at the speck in your brother's eye, but do not consider the plank in your own
eye?" If you have problems with any of this message, you have a cloudy future
at best.

                                                 AMERICA'S FUTURE

    Okay--you're going to say I'm really not predicting the future of anything. If
you study history and religion, you will see that the past always points to the
future. Therefore, it is the various judgments and decisions we make that 
determine events. Don't just accept what I say--do a little studying in the bible
and history books. America will fall victim to the problems leaders bring upon
us, but don't just blame bad leadership. In America, especially, we have the
freedom to select our leaders, and, if they fail, it is the people's fault.

    The first two messages in this series were "How About" and dealt with the
forces that shape our personal and national future. They may be boring to you,
but they are accurate. America's future depends on two things: obedience to
God and the righteousness of the people. Proverbs 15:29 tells us "The Lord
is far from the wicked, But He hears the prayer of the righteous." The third 
element in the previous message was truth. There isn't much truth about
anything in America any more. Advertising, deception and half-truths are about
all we get today. It's quite simple to use the media to spread everything except
truth. Even many ministries have used the secular method to further apostasy.

    To accompany the virtual absence of truth, we have the appearance of
symbols worn or displayed by people who profess Christianity, but represent
the doctrine of Satan. I see those mired in sin wearing gold crosses and claiming
to be Christians. It has gotten so bad, some real Christians tell me they are almost
ashamed to be called Christians. Of course we must be a witness and not deny
our Savior. But sometimes I shudder because of what I see or hear. As a Christian
minister, I don't want to be accepted as belonging with these apostates.

    The antics of these loudmouth pretenders is one example of the "falling away"
explained in scripture. Second Thess. 2:3 warns us of the falling away before the
end. "Let no one deceive you by any means; for That DAY will not come unless the
falling away comes first," The progress of falling away is happening so quickly
it will overwhelm us soon. We have mega churches in major cities where Muslims
and "Christians" worship together. Islam does not believe in salvation through Christ,
nor other basic tenets of Christianity. Yet, they sit along side apostate Christians
with both the Christian bible and Koran in the bookrack.

    There are now other mega churches that are hard sell cults such as the home
church in the state of Washington, Mars Hill. These people subjugate women and
continue the widespread practice of many fake religions, including some recognized
Christian denominations who isolate women from human rights. In some areas, there
is a strong enough presence of Muslims to actually institute Sharia Law (portions of
Detroit, for example). Before our very eyes and ears, these movements are gaining
steam. The major weapon in these situations is the total lack of truth. 

    This place in the time wheel of the end time repeats the four cycles of history by 
bringing us to God's impending judgment. God is merciful, but when His patience
runs out, He acts. He gives us plenty of warnings, but they fall on deaf ears of
people who think they are right in what they do and say. They think God's warning
is for those people who disagree with them. These apostate thinkers are very loud
with their expressions and actually believe they can break the Ten Commandments
if necessary to achieve victory. They frequently quote scripture, albeit they have no
concept of scripture's message.

    Back to the four cycles of history. People go from Godlessness and problems to
a revival of sorts when they realize they need God. When they turn back to God,
He blesses them and they enter prosperity. After a period of prosperity, they begin
to think they don't need God any more. They ignore their duty to worship Him and
fall away to strange beliefs. They are no longer righteous and God doesn't hear
the prayers of unrighteous people. This brings about judgment.

    The United States has completed the first three phases of the cycle, and we are
now in the fourth phase and can expect judgment. Those who are genuine believers
and committed to Christ are now going through the "rapture test". God is placing
true Christians in very uncomfortable situations of health, finance, career and other
areas. Do you not remember that the apostles, church builders and others suffered
horribly for their commitment to God and Christ? They did not have an easy path
and suffered greatly. If things are going well for you, you'd better check your
connection with Christ. Satan richly rewards his followers until he's ready to call
in their chips.

    If you're a great patriot, show me what you've done for America. Have you served
in the military or been too busy to pledge your support to the Constitution as military
people must do? Have you served on no pay community organizations? Do you
support (government or private) agencies and organizations that supply needed help
for the infirm, sick and handicapped citizens? Do you relegate those people who don't
pay income taxes as victims who depend on government entitlements? I served in the
military and paid no income tax last year. That was because my property taxes alone
were over $6,000. That's how the local school operates, local roads are kept up, the
fire company exists, and other county and local expenses are paid. There has been
too much talk about entitlement, actions shafting veterans who provide a safe haven
for avaricious liars, and relegating those who made our country great, to the scrap
pile.

    Scripture has many, many references to money, and Christ taught clearly that a
person must choose between money and God. Matt. 6:24 should teach us this
vital end time lesson, "No one can serve two masters for either he will hate the
one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the
other. You cannot serve God and mammon." It's not wrong to have money, but
it is wrong not to use it wisely. Many Americans who are well off worship not the
Man-God who brought us the FREE gift of salvation, but the dollar symbol. They
have placed the $100 bill in the beak of the Eagle, while the dove carries a
branch of the thorns from Christ's crown.

    America will enter bondage, but it probably will not be the carrying away such as
in the Old Testament. It will be the very things apostate Americans love so much,
wrapped in opulence. In addition to money, it will be the choice seats at events
such as sports, government and church. It will be the dismissal of "used up"
fellow citizens, because like a used car, they are of little value (you may think)
to you, the elite. Why do you think previous successful cultures valued their
senior citizens and those who didn't, fell apart, as did Israel when the king followed
the advice of young advisers instead of the experienced elders? 

    You see, you don't have to be a prophet to tell about the end times. Everything
is already in place. If you're not watching and don't have oil for your lamp, you are
not prepared for the future. Money won't keep you from the great tribulation, nor
will any political party. Everything belongs to God, and your only hope is that
Christ will invite you to the marriage feast. I don't know the specific date of the
end, but we are inviting it to be soon. Watch and study the Word of God, or you
will not receive an invitation to the wedding feast.

    One last word: God will select the next president of the United States. We, the
people, will vote, but He chooses who He selects for the office. I pray you will
accept God's choice with respect. You should remember that God always makes
the selection, including past presidents. Pray for our leaders.

HOW ABOUT PART 2

                                         HOW ABOUT PART 2

    I hope you read my message "How About" that did not have any type of
persuasion to join anything except the human race. That message was to
help us understand that judgment and prophecy go together, no matter what
race you represent, what government you represent or what belief or no
belief you represent. To recap, your life consists of many judgments you
make, and those judgments eventually dictate your future or prophecy.

     Near the conclusion of that message, I introduced another word that now
must take its place along with judgment and prophecy. This word is the key
to help you make the correct judgments. Unfortunately, most people will take
shortcuts that prevent good decisions (judgments). For minor mistakes, this
has little to do with your future (prophecy). Taking the wrong street will
probably only delay your arrival, and dialing the wrong number will only get
you the wrong person. These situations rarely have any effect on your future
and prophecy.

    Major decisions such as the make and model of car you buy, the house you
buy and the college you attend can and often do bring you delight or a problem.
To make a good judgment in these situations, you need to conduct some
research and separate the sales pitch, charming person, and facts. By all
means, you must separate rumor and any preconceived conclusions you may
have before making any judgment.

    The word that is key to any and all your judgments is TRUTH. Many people
play fast and loose with this term. Frequently their statements or claims reveal
to a sensible person that these people are ill informed, uninformed, or just plain
stupid. This may sound cruel, but truth sometimes is cruel. It usually takes time
and effort to secure actual facts. You need accurate hard copy that is not biased
or promoted. As Sgt. Friday used to say, "The facts, Ma'am, just the facts."

    The importance of accurate information has in the past been the cornerstone
of society and culture. The proof of this is the continuing existence of the legal
system. In much of the developed world, we have a system that seeks TRUTH.
You need judgments based on true facts to guide your future (prophecy). Our
system today is much like that established thousands of years ago in Israel.
Before anyone is brought to trial for major crimes, truth is sought by the same 
kind of panel today as then.

     Israel established the Sanhedrin, a panel of 23 citizens whose job was to
decide whether or not charges should be placed against a suspect. They did
not judge the person guilty or innocent. Their only responsibility was to determine
if enough information was available to cause the person to be brought to trial.
That panel in America is called the Grand Jury, and its only goal is to determine
the truth of presented charges. There is no vote of 12 jurors as in a more
recognized criminal or civil court. 

     I have the honor to be a member of a Grand Jury, and it is interesting to see
how history has continued to use this system for so long. Originally the grand
jury considered both religious and civil matters. That changed over the years
because of the continuous growing populations and the separation of the church
and state. Our grand juries do not consider church differences. That is good,
because we have hundreds of denominations and sub denominations as well
as many, many faiths.

    As a minister, my responsibility is to present the truth of my faith without falling
into the trap of pushing people into joining or belonging before they understand
the principles of a belief. Friends, the only way you will determine the truth about
any faith or belief is through study, And, I don't mean the study of a book or two
from that belief or faith. Books for everything from Algebra to religion will have
lots of information, but it will be to further the subject. With religion, this is
especially true. It is easy to be misled. Leaders often don't know the subject
well and slant the "pitch" to "make a sale". 

    Now, if you haven't become so bored as to delete this message, I'll add a bit 
more dry material. Many of  the comments I read or hear are statements presented
as fact. Few have any relationship to fact or truth. I suspect most are the result of 
rumor or gossip as frequently found in barber shops, beauty parlors, bars or
coffee clatches. Many people in this type environment suddenly become "highly
educated" or experienced in matters of interest. The more they think they know,
the louder their exclamations. The adage, an empty vessel makes the most
noise" applies.

    I'm not trying to sign up new members when I tell you I am a Christian pastor
and teacher. What I want to clearly explain is that I base my  preaching and
teaching on research in many books. They include books representing many
Christian and other faiths, including atheism. The Christian bible is quite a
manual, and does give us information not directly related to religion. That
information is history, proven accurate by many textbooks written by both
secular and various faiths. 

    To get answers requires work. Nothing replaces reading, but it must be
study reading. If you don't want to read for yourself, you need a teacher. 
Herein begins your problem. Most teachers are eager to persuade you to
follow rules, regulations and procedures related directly to the teacher's
goal. This is much like a politician. If the teacher is unwilling to talk about
other faiths or answer some "hard" questions about his faith, you may as
well discontinue the study.

    I have delivered messages to many different denominations and unbelievers.
I have grown more disappointed every year with the liberty these denominational
groups and leaders take with the history and interpretation of judgment, which
is the father of prophecy. More and more, leaders are actually changing the
very manuals which were used to teach them. They are rewriting history to
conform to their likes. Rather than assisting you to make good judgments, they
try to convince you to take shortcuts to achieve some goal.

    One man said it all when my wife and I were talking about our scripture
study. He said, "What's to study?" Indeed, the history alone is worth the time.
We usually don't realize what's truly important to us until it is either nearly
taken away or lost. If you get injured or sick enough to die, you may come
to your senses about what is important. The judgments you make every day
set your path of prophecy. The judgments we make as a nation establish the
path of our nation and the world. History explains the cause and effect of our
actions, if only we take the time and effort to consider the truth (facts).

    When we talk about prophecy, people usually are referring to the end times
as written in the Christian bible and other sources. There is a fascination about
knowing the future and what to expect. Some self styled "experts" give us
dates and circumstances that are supposed to give us the answer. They have 
all failed. Most of the prophets of history did not specify that a nation would
fall on a certain date. Even when they prophesied a person would not regain
health or be healed, they did not give a specific day. We can't simply discount
these prophesies  because history and science have proven the prophecies
were accurate.

    Our possibilities to understand the end time prophecies lie in matching
historical causes and effects, and the fallout from greed, desire for power, 
treatment of the common people, ignorance of the environment, as well as
many lesser issues. History shows us clearly there is a pattern that all
mankind follows, and always with the same results. Our mistakes in judgment
determine our future. They also determine when the prophesied end times
are upon us.

    You can look upon the end times strictly from the standpoint of science, the
religious writings, or a combination thereof. No matter how you look at it, history
makes it clear that mankind always repeats a cycle of actions. No matter the
advances in knowledge and science, people are always people, and behavior
is dictated by emotions and personal judgment. 
    
    This is the second "How About" message, and I have promised to keep these
messages free of religious or other influence. We have looked at prophecy, both
personal and national, from the standpoint of secular thinking. That includes
our freedom to make choices--judgment--and the reliance on truth to sort out our
reasons for judgment. The next message in this series will look at conditions and
current events to paint a picture of our relationship to prophecy. I pray you will
join me.

HOW ABOUT

   

                                                                HOW ABOUT

    How about a message for everyone--Atheists, Catholics, Muslims, Mormons,
Protestants, and all others? How about a message that discuses how we all
are members of the human race? How about a message that doesn't deal with
politics and religion? How about a short study on how we shape our path in life
and make our decisions. I'm not about to be religious here, and, in fact, don't
want to muddy the water concerning our personal choices in life.

    When we are born, we immediately begin our decision making, all-be-it at
first the decisions are instinctive. We react to our feelings dealing mostly with
creature comforts. We cry or fuss to get attention so our needs will be met. How
insistent we are even at this tender age says much about our personal agenda.


    The next step we need to understand requires the insertion of a word many
consider to be religious, but it has really nothing to do with religion at this point.
I'm not attempting to sneak religion into the message here. The all-important
word is judgment. We decide things by looking at information and then making
a decision to act, which is judgment.

    Your path in life will be a series of personal judgments depending on your
personal commitment to obtain information and reach a judgment. You will
probably like ice cream and eventually make a judgment on the flavor you
like best. The same is true with food, such as pizza. You will make a major
judgment when you enter school, deciding if the hard work of study is necessary
for a measure of success. You will make judgments on people, deciding who 
will be friends and romantic interests. You will make judgments on your field
of work, or perhaps not to work. You will make judgments on sex, drugs, tobacco
and all kinds of products you will use.

    Some judgments you will have to make will be difficult. Choosing a college, 
accepting a job, where you live, and dozens of judgments will shape the
path of your life. We all make mistakes, and our path will likely not be the
straight and simple way to a goal. Much, if not all, of our goal and path will
be decided (judged) on our ability to judge correctly.

    Here is where I insert a second word that you may now consider an attempt
to get religious, but you are wrong. This word is prophecy. I'm using it here to
show you that prophecy, whether of your life, or anything else, gives you a good
idea of the likely future. You may talk about cause and effect or other terms, but
history usually gives us a clue to future events. This is true in everyday life, and
moves into the past and present actions of companies, nations and the world.

    Generally, when a person speaks of prophecy, we equate that with religion,
but we miss the normal tie. That is the number of polls for everything from politics
to liquor, groceries and household products. Forecasts and sports rankings are
other forms of prophecy. We seem to enjoy prophecy, and lots of money is spent
guessing which prophecies may be accurate.

    If you want to understand what goes into these prophecies, you need to research
what the people do to reach their judgment, which is what a prophecy really is. I have
always loved sports, and a while back I did some sports prophecies. I wanted to
determine the best teams so I could forecast (prophesy) game winners. I carefully
collected all the data I could find about the teams and players. I had notebooks full
of facts. Note I said facts--not opinions or rumors. It is the addition of rumors and
opinions that result in lousy prophesy.

    In addition to the original facts, I kept careful updates concerning physical and mental
conditions of the players, weather and other activities. Included were as many personal
activities or possible effects upon key people as I could discover. This was a regular
type of update, on at least a weekly basis. This took a great deal of time and was actually
hard work. However, it was also fun because I loved the subject and was very interested
in the outcome.

    I put my efforts to the test by entering several weekly football contests offered by area
newspapers. There were two incentives-I wanted to win, and I wanted to win prizes. It
also gave you an elite standing with your peers. The methodology worked, and I hated
to discontinue the fun, but my time became limited because of responsibilities. Before
I quit the fun, I was very successful, winning many prizes, money and a major contest.

    I compiled a huge amount of information in the process, and was very careful to keep
rumor and opinions out of the mix. The real facts were the basis for my judgment of
the teams and games. It was a successful path to a goal. There are lots of sports
forecasters, and some make a very good living with their business. One thing you need
to base any prophecy upon is to use only verified and honest facts. Whether you like
them or not, they are the key.

    Now we know judgment is a part of us from the time of our birth. If we listen to things
that happen around us, gain experience and seriously try to learn about the aspects of
life, we are better prepared to make judgments and travel a smoother path into the
future. Shortcuts and poor information or a desire for an ending you would like, all will
result in some kind of failure. Your judgments are your life.

    Part of your judgments will determine your personal beliefs, and that includes your
faith or non faith. If you have carefully gathered facts, you can be secure in your beliefs.
A seasoning of common sense is necessary, as well as a cool head. We are emotional
people, so we must keep that under control. We may discuss differences, but it really
does no good to argue. You do need to discover the value of information others have
gathered, and to separate facts from fiction. This is where truth enters.

    One of the subjects of prophecy that attracts people is the future of our country
and the world. To deal with this fascinating subject, it is necessary to study history.
That study needs to include real facts of economy, politics, agriculture and greed.
It isn't about dates so much, as it is about why judgments were made by leaders and
previous results of similar situations were ignored.

    In my messages, I point out that history operates in cycles because mankind follows
the same path of judgment over a set number of generations. That history tells us we
go from a serious unhappy social and economic situation to a period of understanding
which brings about the beginning of personal and national prosperity. During this
period people discover the difference between right from wrong. They also discover
that we are all members of the human race. You might say the true meaning of love
is discovered.

    Human nature is such that we soon enjoy our new condition of comfort and life,
and forget how this wonderful status came about. It took work and a desire to gain
understanding, and, in some instances, sacrifice. I saw this golden period once, and
it is priceless. Unfortunately it doesn't last long, and people have things so much to
their liking that they forget the basics that brought it about.

    Yes, they fall away from correct judgments, and begin the slide to mammoth problems
and discomfort. This is a period when most information becomes suspect and many are
desperate to turn things around to rediscover the good days. It is also a time when some
believe they have the personal ability to at least keep their ship afloat. After many bad
judgments, it is not easy to change the course. 

    Unless correct judgments are made, utter disaster comes upon mankind, and life no
longer consists of peace and joy. History clearly tells us this sad story, which has
continued for thousands of years through many nations and cultures. Some people, who
desire to extend their "good life" through altering the facts of history to trick others into
bad judgment, appear and insure that the fourth stage of mankind takes place.

    Although I am a minister, I have refrained from mentioning any faiths or lack 
thereof. Every person has the opportunity to make a judgment that will control
his/her life. The collective judgments of people will dictate the path of a nation
and the world. 

Rev. Walbear
