Dear Friends, Time after time through His prophets and from Jesus Christ Himself there are the grave warnings to God's true Church of the horrible times that are almost on top of us. We have been exhorted to be watchful, vigilant, for the signs leading to the demise of the House of Joseph, as well as the other Tribes of Israel, as nations. In my last letter I wrote about the fury of nature in its many forms we are now witnessing in many areas of this country that will soon lead us into the prophesied famine as made known through the prophet Joel. The famine will be accompanied by the epidemic of deadly diseases. Between the both of them the prophet Ezekiel makes known this country alone will experience the deaths of approximately 200 millions of people. This time I am writing about another area of great danger to us as well. It is the battle this nation and other nations of Israel are struggling with regarding the threat of Iran and the radical Muslim world who are seeking to bring us to our knees through the use of nuclear bombs. The copied and pasted article below is well worth reading for it is saying what other known voices are presently telling us on radio, television, and the opinions in the newspapers, by the more conservative speakers and writers. The article is as follows: Ahmadinejad's nukes for U.S, not for Israel Posted: January 18, 2007 1:00 a.m. Eastern Have you noticed virtually all speculation the U.S. might militarily intervene to prevent Iran from becoming a full-fledged nuclear power has ceased? With the Bush administration unable or unwilling to defeat the Iran-backed enemy in Iraq, any thought of widening U.S. military involvement in the Middle East has dissipated. There is hardly enough American political will to sustain the fight in Iraq, let alone political capital for a pre-emptive strike against Iran. Instead, it appears the free world's one remaining hope of neutralizing Iran's nuclear arsenal by force is Israel - the nation that launched a pre-emptive strike against Saddam Hussein's nuclear bomb factory in 1981. (Column continues below) It's a matter of survival for Israel, we're told. After all, everyone is familiar with the bellicose mutterings of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who has repeatedly called for the destruction of Israel. Right? Maybe. Perhaps. Could be. Iran might indeed strike Israel with nuclear weapons if it ever had the chance. But, I think it's more likely Iran's determination to develop nuclear weapons is based on its desire to destroy "the Great Satan," not "the Little Satan." There are several reasons to make this judgment: Ahmadinejad's first public call for destroying Israel came at an Oct. 26, 2005, conference in Tehran to envision "The World Without Zionism." While the newly elected Iranian president's threats against the Jewish state were well recorded by the international media, his equally threatening calls for the destruction of the U.S. went virtually unnoticed. "Is it possible for us to witness a world without America and Zionism?" he asked. "But you had best know that this slogan and this goal are attainable, and surely can be achieved." Poster for "The World Without Zionism" conference in Tehran, Oct. 26, 2005 More chilling was the graphic displayed prominently in front of Ahmadinejad's podium and elsewhere throughout the conference. Until it was reproduced weeks later in my G2 Bulletin online intelligence newsletter, it had not been published in any Western media. It shows a giant hourglass with two cylindrical objects falling toward destruction - the firstsecond representing Israel. In other words, it wasn't just a world without Zionism and Israel that Ahmadinejad and his friends in Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad and other terrorist groups were envisioning. It was a world without the United States of America. And, if there is any significance to the graphic - and, I believe there is - the U.S. would be the first target. The Iranian president did note that Iran had developed a strategic "war preparation plan" for what it calls the "destruction of Anglo-Saxon civilization." representing the U.S., the What might such a plan look like? Also, as my G2 Bulletin first reported in 2005, even before Ahmadinejad won the presidency, his Islamic republic was test-firing Scud missiles from naval ships and detonating them in mid-air. What does that mean? According to the top-level experts in the U.S. military and scientific community, it can mean only one thing - Iran has been practicing for a nuclear electro-magnetic pulse attack. A distinguished commission set up by the U.S. Congress to study the threat of an EMP attack on America took note of Iranian military plans. Tehran's military journals boasted that this was the best way to bring America to its knees. It's cheap. It's technologically easy. And there is even a certain degree of plausible deniability involved. Iran already has medium-range missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads into Europe. But they won't need them for this kind of an operation. It's actually all very low-tech - and it would have the effect of reducing America to a very low-tech nation, potentially crippling our electrical grid, blowing out computer chips and causing a slow death for millions reliant on modern transportation and communication. Let me also point out another fact that should be obvious to one and all. Nuclear missiles fired at Israel would hardly kill only Jews. More than 1 million Arabs live in Israel, a country only nine miles wide at one point. The Jewish state is surrounded by millions of Muslims - including lots of Shiites to the north in Lebanon. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad at "The World Without Zionism" conference While it's true that Ahmadinejad has expressed his willingness to sacrifice up to half of Iran's population to destroy Israel, I don't believe he even thinks nuclear missiles will be necessary to do the job. All it requires is to bring Israel's only real ally in the world to its knees - an eventuality that will be within his grasp once his country has nuclear missiles. It's worth pointing out that Iran already has the delivery system necessary for such an attack. No, Iran doesn't have inter-continental ballistic missiles capable of reaching the U.S. It doesn't need them. It has Hezbollah, an army of 25,000 terrorists that is more than capable of delivering a nuclear weapon to America and detonating it. It also has the option of doing even more damage to the U.S. through an electro-magnetic pulse attack - one that could be carried out by a small craft with a $100,000 Scud missile launcher from offshore with plausible deniability. So, why would Iran accept the certain destruction of its own country in a nuclear missile attack on Israel when it can have its cake and eat it, too, by bringing down "the Great Satan" - leaving "the Little Satan" isolated and helpless and without allies? Benjamin Netanyahu recently made the statement: "It is 1939 and Iran is Germany." Actually, it's a lot worse than that. Because today Germany has terrorist allies operating all over the globe on its behalf. And, this time Germany will have nuclear weapons.

Armstrong often said the leaders of this country can only see one enemy at a time. This has been true in the history of this nation and it is true now as well. It is true that this radical leader of Iran is posing a real threat to this country and there are many who think this man and the radical Islamic world will destroy us. Prophecy reveals this is not true! However it is very highly possible God will permit these suicidal people to blow up one or more of our larger cities in the months ahead with nuclear devices, and there are those who believe this to be a very real and viable possibility. Their beliefs are based on what is believed to be small nuclear bombs that can fit into a back pack have already come into this country across the border from Mexico by these suicidal people. It has also been said the leaders in this nation's capital are aware of this and are trying to take steps to prevent this possibility from taking place. At the same time these same leaders have forewarned the populace we are vulnerable - implying it will be impossible to prevent some kind of a catastrophe from taking place. The United States of Europe As I have written before, God makes known our total demise as nations will come from the soon-to-be newly reborn Holy Roman Empire of Europe, which will comprise a total of 10 nations, just as prophecy makes well known (Daniel 2:40-45; 7:23-25; Revelation 17:12-13). This will be the real danger to the House of Joseph, and not from Iran or any other Arab nation. We should well know the Pope and his hierarchy in Rome, along with the underground leaders in Germany, are well aware of the very real threat from the radical Muslim world to also take over Europe! It is with this in mind one can safely assume the leaders of the political and religious world in Europe already have the secret plans in place to thwart this potential threat to them. To make this become a reality, Satan the devil will very soon give the power of miracles to the Pope in Rome who will then bring this plan fully into place and some little time afterwards the Beast and his 10 kingdoms will destroy this radical Islamic threat to them (Revelation 13:1-18; Daniel 11:40-43). How Much Time Do We Have Left? No one knows the answer to this question for sure! However when we consider the many un-resolvable problems this country, Britain, and other nations of Israel have before them on both the national and international areas, all of which have time limits on them, it would seem the end is virtually in sight (Luke 21:29-33). This nation and this world is presently sitting on a time bomb that is ticking away the final few minutes we have left before total chaos. While considering the nuclear proliferation and the threats of nuclear attacks from Iran and North Korea, along with global warming, scientists have recently reset the doomsday clock to six (6) minutes before the midnight hour! The Time is Short Brethren, I continue to write to you regarding where are in time. This is very important for we are about to enter into such terrible times this world has never before ever witnessed, so said Jesus Christ (Matthew 24:21-22). Terrible times are soon to befall us, as a Church, and as nations of Israel, just as numerous prophecies make known! Jesus Christ is leading me to write to all of you around the face of the earth with the hope we as His people will all WAKE UP and become on HIGH ALERT to what we should be able to see going on around us that makes known the end is virtually in sight! And at the same time to use the little time we have left to draw nigh to our God in a very close relationship lest we end up in the Great Tribulation and possible rejection by Jesus Christ at His coming (Luke 21:34-36). This indeed is very serious for our very lives are at stake. Your friend and brother in Christ, Don Billingsley
