| Note from Jan: I have been watching the Cypress ordeal with great interest and wrote about it in my April-May print newsletter (sign up here). Bill Wilson has gone into much greater explanation below. This is a set up! Someone is waiting in the wings and he has already taken notes on how to implement the takeover of the people's funds. Wilson refers to the Antichrist below who is also called "The Beast" in the Bible. (Revelation 20:10) How many warnings do we need that things are lining up for the end of the age, and the events taking place are all outlined in the Bible? And yet churches will not touch the topic of eschatology (end-time events). I get daily emails speaking of this sad state of the church and their rejection of a topic that is 1/3 of the Bible. Dr. Dave Reagan and I discussed both the Antichrist and the False Prophet on my March 16 radio program. You can access that here or here. Bill Wilson is an independent journalist who also writes for Koenig's International News. Beast-Type Money Grab Serves as Prophetic Warning By Bill Wilson www.olivetreeviews.org www.dailyjot.com March 27, 2013 Revelation 13:17 speaks of the mark of the beast -- commonly known these days as the Antichrist: "And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name." Often prophecy is revealed a layer at a time, seemingly to give God's people more understanding of what is about to come. The tiny island of Cyprus may well serve as a modern petri dish for what could happen under a "beast" empire. The European Union has required Cyprus to shut down its state-owned bank and raid 40% of accounts above $130,000 to raise about $5.5 billion in exchange for a $13 billion bailout. Leading up to the deal, Cypriots were only allowed $130 per day in bank withdrawals. Cyprus is divided into two parts -- one is recognized by the United Nations as a "democratic republic" and the other part is recognized by only Turkey. UN peacekeepers provide a buffer between the Muslim and Christian sides. The Communist party controls the politics in Cyprus. Cyprus is a popular destination for "Arab" visitors. Sex trafficking and slavery are a problem in Cyprus, according to the U.S. State Department Trafficking in Persons report. It is also considered a "Casino" economy. In other words, Cyprus, like the United States, is in a fallen moral condition as well as a debt-ridden economic state. The Cyprus national debt is $21 billion, or about $18,000 per person living in Cyprus. In comparison, the U.S. National Debt is $16.7 TRILLION. With interest, it is $59.2 TRILLION, which is $187,645 per taxpayer. This, according to U.S. Debt Clock, which obtains its figures via the US Department of Treasury. If the European Union is willing to confiscate bank accounts over $18,000 of debt for every person living in Cyprus, what would the occupant of the Oval Office be willing to do over $187,645 in debt from each taxpayer -- 10 times the amount in Cyprus? The US is a large reflection of Cyprus--a tax and spend socialist government and moral decay combining for a "beast"-type government takeover. The EU action in Cyprus should serve as a stiff warning to all of what a powerful government can do when the people are unable and/or unwilling to defend themselves against it. For example, Cyprus has the same gun policy that the federal government is proposing in America -- gun owners must be licensed and prove a genuine reason to possess a gun. The Cyprus population is essentially disarmed. It had no will nor ability to prevent the EU action. While we cannot stop the march of prophecy, we can determine our place in it. As the people of Cyprus have determined their place in the EU, the citizens of America can look at this example and decide -- beast submission or self-determination. Best decide before it's too late.
