I have a Jack Van Impe prophecy bible, if you’ve never heard of it or him, its a bible produced by Jack Van Impe which attempts to highlight all the significant prophetic scriptures through the pages of Holy writ. (just wanted to use ‘writ’ in a blog   writ 1 (rt) n. 1. Law A written order issued by a court, commanding the party to whom it is addressed to perform or cease performing a specified act. 2. Writings: holy writ. http://www.thefreedictionary.com/writ I’ve definitely got into opening my REAL bible and actually fine it refreshing to read the KJV again as there are potentially more interesting insights. I find it has interesting historical truths, for example how they label animals like I blogged about (unicorn, search...

 Did you know unicorns are in the bible? They actually exist in the King James Version. Modern translations write it as Wild ox or other animals. There isn’t however any specific reason not to believe the KJV is correct in its description. Though its not a maker / breaker subject, its fascinating because it adds to the conjecture and plausible thought of dinosaurs with man and the idea that mythical creatures as we call them now were in fact real animals and are now extinct. (KJV) Job 39:9 Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by thy crib?   http://www.answersingenesis.org/articles/aid/v2/n1/unicorns-in-bible Modern readers have trouble with the Bible’s unicorns because we forget that a single-horned feature is not uncommon on...

I mentioned the Mayan calendar and its origins, made sometime just after the biblical flood lending evidence to a young earth and that the bible is true on mans origins.

Tradition holds that the calendar was invented by Emperor...

Things are heating up in the middle east and europe. The economic meltdown is prompting Merkel and Sarkozy to consider a re-imagined EU that has strong central powers for economic policy. They are wanting to switch it from what it is now, more or less a loose collection of countries struggling under debt and some using the EURO as their fiat money, to a super state controlling the economy more directly. This means countries involved would need to agree to losing more sovereignty and they are almost all willing to now that the economy is so bad, no one has jobs etc. The EU sees that the time is right to make a grab for greater powers saying that its the only way the economy can be fixed. And they mean that they will be able to keep the economy afloat for another...
