White Horse E-News

White Horse E-News - 03-31-2009 Update from Steve Wohlberg Dear friend, Five days ago I sent out an e-news alert about a man in the 1980's who had a dream showing the return of Jesus Christ in power and glory during the time that America had an African-American president bearing a striking resemblance to Barack Obama. We received a FLOOD of responses from readers. Most were very positive, such as these: Amazing!!!!!!!!!! Thank you! C. Thank you for sending this email. L. I love the E-News. God Bless. B. How Exciting!!!!…I can't wait!! S Thanks for such an informative newsletter! D. Thank you for sharing this with the body. T. On the other hand, a few comments were negative, primarily because they felt the e-news was a racial attack on President Obama. Let me clarify this. No racial slur was intended whatsoever. Neither White Horse Media nor Steve Wohlberg support any prejudice in the slightest degree. In fact, our strong conviction is that all racial prejudice is positively sinful and a violation of God's Law. The Word teaches, "love your neighbor as yourself" (see Romans 13:9) no matter what the color of our skin. Jesus loves black, white, red and brown equally. He died for us all. Second, others wanted more proof about the dream, etc. Let me clarify something else. We received information about this dream about two weeks ago and know of two individuals who apparently confirmed it, yet we have not launched an extensive investigation of the matter. Nor do we have time to do so. As stated in my previous e-news, our decision to share the dream was mainly "FYI" (For Your Information) to consider. As we stated plainly, "Time will tell." At White Horse Media, our deepest desire is to see Jesus Christ return soon. But again, we haven't launched a thorough investigation of this dream, nor do we have time to do so. Also, we have only a small staff and are not capable of answering hundreds of emails on any subject, especially this one. So please, simply file the dream in your heart, pray for our Lord's return, and focus on sharing the gospel with those who need the Savior. This is what we will do. President Obama is now in London for a "summit of the world's economic powers to address the global financial meltdown" (Associated Press). Dream or no dream, White Horse Media firmly believes that a global crisis is pending that will eventually result in "the mark of the beast" (Revelation 13:16), "the seven last plagues" (Revelation 16:1), "Armageddon" (Revelation 16:16), the glorious return of Jesus Christ (Revelation 19:11-16), the Millennium (Revelation 20:1-3), the "great white throne" judgment (Revelation 20:11-13), "the lake of fire" (Revelation 20:15), and the creation of a "new heaven and a new earth" (Revelation 21:1). We have seven pocketbooks covering many of these subjects that cost less than $1 each. They are: Solving the Mystery of Death Perils of Talking to the Dead The Millennium The Hot Topic of Hell Perils of Harry Potter and Witchcraft Discovering the Lost Sabbath Truth Decoding the Mark of the Beast You can purchase all seven for about $10, which includes shipping (within the U.S.). Believe me, it's a good investment! May Jesus prepare all of us for the days ahead. In Christ, Steve Wohlberg

Signs of the End

Seven Signs of the End

by Steve Wohlberg

Will there be an "end of the world," or is such an idea simply the opinion of kooks who stand on street corners waving signs reading, "The End Is Near"? Believe it or not, according to the Bible, yes, there will be an end. Jesus Christ promised His followers, "Lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the world" (Matthew 28:20).

Are there any legitimate and observable "signs" indicative of this approaching finale? Once again, the answer is yes. While many supposed "signs" appear daily on the covers of our nation's tabloids, here are seven true biblical signs worth listing:

1. Global Environmental Crisis: The Bible reveals that when God finally drops the curtain on human history, He will finally "destroy them that destroy the earth" (Revelation 11:18). In other words, before the end, mankind will be destroying the very planet we live on. This implies a global environmental crisis resulting from the growth of mega-cities, deforestation, a disappearing ozone layer, and earth-damaging man made pollutants.
2. Out-of-control Violence: Jesus Christ said, "As it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be before the coming of the Son of Man" (Matthew 24:37). What was it like in Noah's day before the flood? Here's the answer: "The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence" (Genesis 6:11). "And God said to Noah, the end of all flesh is come before Me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth" (Genesis 6:13). Thus "violence" was rampant in Noah's day, just like today.
3. Out-of-control Sex: Again, Jesus Christ said, "Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot…Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed" (Luke 17:28, 30). What was it like in Lot's day before God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah? Here's the answer: "Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire" (Jude 7). Thus "fornication" (sex outside of marriage), and "going after strange flesh" (homosexuality), were the primary sins of those ancient cities. It's a no-brainer that through television, Playboy, Internet pornography, etc., our world is experiencing an unprecedented deluge of sexual perversion.
4. Increasing Stress, Confusion, Heart Disease: Jesus also declared, "And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things that are coming upon the earth" (Luke 21:25, 26). People are stressed-out everywhere, confusion reigns, and the Number 1 cause of death is heart disease. Jesus Christ saw it coming, that's why He predicted global "distress," "perplexity" and "men's hearts failing them for fear." Fear also raises blood cholesterol.
5. Increasing Knowledge: The prophetic book of Daniel declares, "But you, O Daniel, shut up the words and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased" (Daniel 12:4). This passage reveals planet Earth will enter its "time of the end." Then, "knowledge shall be increased." In our modern era - more than any time in recorded history - knowledge has increased beyond previous generations.
6. False Teaching and Global Religious Confusion: Paul predicted "the time will come" when the majority "shall turn their ears away from the truth and shall turn to fables" (2 Timothy 4:4). God's final book - the Revelation - predicts the rise of a global, multi-layered, conglomerate religious system called "Babylon," which literally means, "confusion." Heaven's end-time message proclaims, "Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication" (Revelation 14:8). This mysterious, highly symbolic prophecy reveals that "all nations" will become drunk with "Babylon's wine" - meaning the worldwide false teachings of deceptive religions which lead away from the simplicity of the pure gospel of Jesus Christ.
7. The Global Preaching of the Gospel: "And this gospel [the Good News of salvation through Jesus Christ] shall be preached in all the world as a witness to all nations, and then shall the end come" (Matthew 24:14). With the aid of radio, television and satellite networks, God's message of salvation through the death of Jesus Christ on the cross is now spreading around planet Earth. Thus, in the midst of Bad News, there's Good News! We have a Savior who loves us, gave His life for us, rose from the dead for us, and will someday return to take us home.
