THE SIGNS OF THE END 79

Remember, America is conspicuous in the Bible by its absence.
And in order for the United States to take a backseat to the rest o f the
world, essentially becoming a non-power in the world, it will see its
power stripped away. Abraham Lincoln said that the greatest threat to
America’s destruction is not from without, but from within. Turning
against Israel is certain to bring about the weakening o f this super­

THE SYSTEMATIC DUMBING DOWN OF BIBLE STUDENTS

At the beginning o f the new millennium, the United States saw

liberal denominations do today.

TECHNOLOGICAL PRECURSORS TO THE TRIBULATION

The first few years after the turn o f this third millennium have
seen yet another significant preparation for the fulfillment o f End
Times prophecy. The increased effectiveness o f computers and the
internet, satellite technology and biotechnological advances should
