[ FDA OKs Implantable_Chip In Patients ]
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/10/13/health/main648999.shtml

A digital implant has been approved by the FDA for medical purposes, but many believe that this is only the beginning of things to come. It is believed by many that digital implant technology will one day be used by "the_beast" system to mark his subjects during the tribulation period.

It's true that the antichrist will one day rule the world and force every person on the face of the earth to wear his mark, but what that mark_of_the_beast will be is a subject of great debate.

At the beginning of the tribulation period the world will witness the greatest world war known to mankind where one-quarter of the world's population will perish (Revelation 6:5-8) through war, starvation and wild animals. I think it's safe to say that the world will be in complete chaos and turmoil. It's quite possible that entire nations will cease to exist and the infrastructure of most nations will be destroyed or severely hampered. It's also possible that the satellite systems for both the European Union (Galileo) and United States could be inoperable which would make implant technology quite difficult on such a grand scale.

Following this great war, the antichrist and his ten kingdom empire will be left to pick up the pieces and bring order to a world that is desperately out of control. I can't imagine what will be left and what kind of shape it will be in. It's my guess, unless satan is granted supernatural power, it will take years to develop and gather a competent workforce capable of repairing and running a sophisticated satellite system necessary to make a worldwide implant program feasible.

[ God Kept Out Of EU_Constitution ]
http://www.euobserver.com/index.phtml?sid=9&aid=11421

"Drawing inspiration from the cultural, religious and humanist inheritance of Europe, which, nourished first by the civilisations of Greece and Rome, characterised by spiritual impulse always present in its heritage and later by the philosophical currents of the Enlightenment, has embedded within the life of society its perception of the central role of the human person and his inviolable and inalienable rights, and of respect for law."

[ Jerusalem Touted as World Capital ]
http://wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=33711

This is an interesting article because it's a very feasible solution to the Middle East peace process. Although only a piece of the puzzle, it lines up with scripture. Take a look at Revelation 11:1-2:

[1] And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.
[2] But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.

This is a description of a temple that has not yet been built and an event that will come to pass during the tribulation period. It is my belief that Jerusalem will become a world city and eventually the world capital (when the antichrist takes over). This world city will be born out of a decision that will be made in exchange for peace with the Arab world. Both Israel and Palestine will share the holy city as their capital or it will become a world city for which no one would possess

Signs of the Times [ Israel Commits To Galileo Satellite ]
http://www.eubusiness.com/afp/040713191019.7eqvefmx


Israel is inching closer to what I believe will be (future) E.U. membership by investing heavily in the Galileo_Project satellite navigation system. This is a major project by the European's and Israel wants to get in on the ground floor to position itself as a viable candidate for membership when that day comes. Personally, I believe it will be sooner than later but it may come in the form of a "Neighborhood Agreement" which doesn't grant a country E.U. membership but does place them in a very favorable position...even to the point of military protection.

minnesota_chris sounds like it's getting to be a nice place.

Some people think the European Union is a sign of the End Times. The time prophesied in the Holy Bible when basically the shit hits the fan.

I'm not such a believer in that. Not that it couldn't happen, mind you. But the fundamentalists are deluded in so many other ways, I'd be surprised if they got this one right.

With the strength of the Ecu, and the weak dollar, I could probably earn good money teaching English over there.

missionary ahem... interesting you should say that, minnesota_chris.

"French site chose for Nuclear Fusion Reactor Project..."

But seriously, the Book of Revelation states that the "City with seven hills" is the "Dragon with seven heads". That would be Rome, so my thought is that it will be Italy, not France.
