Comments
I have been out of town for a week so I haven't had time to update.  But here is the latest news.

Both oil and gold prices are rising sharply...oil at near record levels.  The latter is obviously due to the rumor that an impending U.S. led attack is looming.  

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad announced today that Iran has enriched uranium to the 3.5 percent level needed to fuel nuclear power stations.  Of course, it's for peaceful means.  Now there's evidence that Saudi Arabia maybe secretly pursuing a nuclear program!

This news certainly doesn't surprise me.  I suspect the entire Arab world is secretly trying to unlock the nuclear puzzle and have been for sometime.

I have a feeling that the U.S., Britain and Israel knew this announcement was coming.  It will take a miracle from God to prevent an attack from Israel.  The U.S. and Britain may cave into international pressure.

So what does this mean?  Does Iran have the capability to produce a nuclear bomb?  Yes and no!  Here is what Ali Akbar Dareini, Associated Press Writer had to say:

"The announcement does not mean Iran is immediately capable of producing enough fuel to run or a reactor or develop the material needed for a nuclear warhead. Uranium enrichment can produce either, but it must be carried out on a much larger scale, using thousands of centrifuges.

Iran succeeded in enriching uranium to a level needed for fuel on a research scale — using 164 centrifuges, officials said.

But the breakthrough underlined how difficult it will be for the West to convince Iran to give up enrichment."  http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060411/ap_on_re_mi_ea/iran_nuclear

In the last few months we have been blasted by the spirit of antichrist.  This is different than the physical manifestation of the future antichrist that will one day rule the world.

If you have been watching the news, two very big anti-Christ (so-called) discoveries have come to light.  The first, The Da Vinci Code and the second, The Gospel Of Judas.  

We as Christian's need to remember that just because something is popular or ancient doesn't make it authentic or true.  Yes, The Gospel Of Judas was written around 300 AD and it is believed to be an authentic work, but that doesn't make it true or Gospel.  That goes double for The Da Vinci Code. 

It shouldn't amaze anyone that the world has embraced these two lies from the pits of hell.  I get many news articles emailed to me, some authentic and others a little far out, but I certainly don't believe everything I receive as fact.  We need to keep in mind that the spirit of antichrist has been alive and well throughout the church age (I John 2:18, 22; 4:3; II John 1:7) even in 300 AD.  

It's no accident that God has allowed this to come to light.  Yes, satan is the agent that God has used but he certainly hasn't blindsided God.  The scriptures are plain that this would be the norm during the last days.

"Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, and saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.  For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:  Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.  But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.  But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.  Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?  Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.  Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless." (II Peter 3:3-14).

Even though satan is the messenger he is unaware that he is falling right into God's trap.  Does he know that these are the last days?  I don't believe he does as I have proven in previous articles, but even if he does, that doesn't change a thing...Bible prophecy will still come to pass as foretold.

Are you ready to meet the Lord?  If not your time is running out!
