One of the most under reported news stories in the world is the horrific persecution of Christians in many Islamic nations. For example, a 28-year-old Christian Pakistani man was just brutally tortured, raped and then murdered for refusing to convert to Islam, and there was virtually no mention of this in the world media.

Fortunately at least Fox News covered this story. According to Fox News, Pakistani police discovered the mangled body of 28-year-old Tariq "Litto" Mashi Ghauri lying in a canal outside a rural village in Punjab Province on May 15th.

Reportedly, Ghauri had been raped and brutally stabbed at least five times.

Why?

Because he refused to convert to Islam.

This is what Christians in some areas of the world have to deal with on a daily basis.

Ghauri's 24-year-old brother explained what they did to him....

"They have sexually abuse him, torture him with a knife on his testicle and genitals."

Yes, that sounds very loving.

So is this horrific crime being investigated?

Are the Pakistani authorities doing anything?

No.

Ghauri's brother told FOXNews that the police are refusing to investigate: "They are free. Nothing is happening to them. No investigation is running."

The reality is that Christians in Pakistan, just as in many other Islamic nations, are treated with utter contempt.

According to the most recent statistics, Pakistan's population is approximately 97 percent Muslim, while Christians only make up about 3 percent.

"What the Muslim society has done in Pakistan is just associate low caste with being Christian," stated Jeremy Sewall, Advocacy Director of the International Christian Concern, the first organization to report the killing. "Many of these people, they clean human waste and that's their job, and that's what Christians are known for in Pakistan."

Would you be willing to endure that kind of treatment for what you believe?

The reality is that Christians in western countries are totally spoiled.

Christians in other nations know what it is really like to suffer for Christ.

Religious freedom is precious and needs to be protected.

In Pakistan, the "Ministry of Religious Affairs", which is supposed to protect everyone's religious freedom, actually has a verse from the Koran on its masthead that says this: "Islam is the only religion acceptable to God."

So much for religious freedom, eh?

The truth is that religious freedom is not spreading around the world. Religious freedom is actually in rapid retreat in large areas of the globe and persecution of Christians is increasing.

Do you have a faith worth dying for?

What will you do when Christians start being persecuted where you live?

The truth is that being a Christian is not easy, but being a Christian IS worth living and dying for. We encourage you to find out the truth.....

Scientists now fear that Ug99, a devastating wheat fungus also known as stem rust, could wipe out over 80 percent of the world's wheat crop as it spreads from Africa. In a world already on the verge of a massive food crisis, this is really, really bad news.

Most Americans have never heard Ug99, but the reality is that it is considered to be the most serious threat to the world food supply.

Ug99 is referred to as "stem rust" because it produces reddish-brown flakes on wheat stalks. It is incredibly deadly and there is no known way to cure it.

The Los Angeles Times reports that The International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center in Mexico now estimates that 19 percent of the world's wheat crop, mostly located in Asia and Africa, is in imminent danger. If Ug99 were to start spreading in the United States, it is estimated that approximately 10 billion dollars worth of wheat crops would be destroyed.

10 billion dollars.

That is a whole lot of bread.

The L.A. Times also reports that Rick Ward, the coordinator of the Durable Rust Resistance in Wheat project at Cornell University in Ithaca, N.Y., says that "A significant humanitarian crisis is inevitable."

Apparently Ug99 has already jumped the Red Sea and has affected areas as far as Iran already.

Wheat Experts say that it is poised to enter northern India and Pakistan, and that the wind will inevitably carry it to Russia, China and even North America.

If it doesn't get to North America some other way first.

Jim Peterson, a professor of wheat breeding and genetics at Oregon State University in Corvallis, does not sound optimistic:

"It's a time bomb," he told the L.A. Times.

"It moves in the air, it can move in clothing on an airplane. We know it's going to be here. It's a matter of how long it's going to take."

Are you all starting to get the picture?

This is serious.

If the worst case scenario came to fruition, and 80 percent of the world's wheat crop was destroyed, what do you think that would do?

Can you say famine?

As if things were not bad enough, wheat experts say that Ug99 is becoming more virulent as it spreads.

This quote from the recent L.A. Times article on Ug99 is very frightening.....

Scientists discovered a Ug99 variant in 2006 that can defeat Sr24, a resistance gene that protects Great Plains wheat. Last year, another variant was found with immunity to Sr36, a gene that safeguards Eastern wheat.

It is not like the world has enough wheat anyway.

The reality is that exploding populations, record droughts across the globe and dwindling strategic food reserves in the major industrialized nations have brought the world to the very edge of a devastating global food crisis.

World food reserves currently sit at a fifty year low, and many experts are warning that we are now facing a "perfect storm" that will cause a dramatic spike in world hunger.

Even the major industrialized nations are not immune. With U.S. wheat reserves now at a record low, USDA Undersecretary Mark Keenum had to admit last year: "Our cupboard is bare."

Things have become so serious that even Time magazine has now declared that we are in "a global food crisis".

Most Americans would like to think that "wealthy nations" such as the United States are immune from world famine, but the truth is that the U.S. only has enough wheat held in reserve to make half a loaf of bread for each citizen.

Half a loaf of bread.

How long do you think that will last you if Ug99 sweeps the globe?

If you won't listen to us, perhaps you will listen to the United Nations.

In a stunning new report, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations is warning that impoverished populations around the globe are already feeling the pain of higher food prices. The price of important crops such as rice, which is a key staple in many poorer nations, spiked more than 400 percent last year. In fact, food riots broke out in many third world countries last year when large numbers of people could suddenly not feed their families.

The effects of food shortages are not being seriously felt yet in the major industrialized nations where food represents about 10 to 20 percent of consumer spending, but in developing nations the poor often have to spend up to 80 percent of their meager income on food.

Britain's chief scientist, Professor John Beddington, says that the global demand for food is going to increase by about 50 percent by 2030, and that this will cause massive world problems of unprecedented magnitude in the years ahead.

"It's a perfect storm," he told the GovNet Communications Sustainable Development 09 conference in London. "We're not growing enough food, so we're not able to put stuff into the reserves."

And his gloomy forecast did not even include the impact of Ug99 on the world food supply.

The truth is that the world is quickly running out of food and more people than ever are hungry.....

*1 billion people in the world go to bed hungry every single night.

*Every 3.6 seconds someone starves to death and 3/4 are children under the age of 5.

*More than 2.8 billion people, close to half of the world's population, live on less than the equivalent of $2 a day.

*About a third of all children in the world under the age of five suffer from serious malnutrition.

*The top fifth (20 per cent) of the world's people who live in the highest income countries have access to 86 percent of world gross domestic product. The bottom fifth, in the poorest countries, have about one percent.

*The assets of the world's three richest men exceed the combined gross domestic products of the world's 48 poorest countries.

When you add all of this up, the reality is that we could very well be on the verge of the worst global famine in the history of humanity.

If we are to take the scientists and the government experts seriously, then it is very likely that there will come a day when you will not be able to run down to the local Wal-Mart or the local McDonald's and grab all of the food you want.

Food shortages are coming. Will you and your family be ready?

For those of you who are interested in preparing, we encourage you to check out our sister site which has extensive information about how to get ready for what is ahead:

Let us pray that things will not be as bad as scientists fear they may be. But the truth is that things will be REALLY horrible as we approach the end times, and all of us need to get prepared.

Does God still have a plan for the ten lost tribes of Israel?

Many Christians today don't even realize that there are ten lost tribes.

So before we talk about God's plan, let's review some Biblical history first.....

After the reign of King Solomon, the land of Israel was divided into two kingdoms - the "northern kingdom" and the "southern kingdom".

The 10 northern tribes that rebelled against Solomon's son became known in the Scriptures as "the house of Israel" or as "the house of Ephraim" after the tribe of Ephraim which was one of the most dominant tribes in the northern kingdom.

3 tribes (Judah, Benjamin and the Levites) stayed in the south and they became known in the Scriptures as "the house of Judah" which referred to the most dominant tribe in the southern kingdom which was Judah.

Those two kingdoms existed side by side for several hundred years.

However, the northern kingdom (Ephraim) turned away from the Lord God and he allowed them to be invaded. Over 700 years before Jesus was born, the Assyrian empire invaded the northern kingdom and carried away the people into exile.

The northern kingdom has not been heard from since.

They became known as the ten lost tribes of Israel.

The southern kingdom (Judah) was later invaded by Babylon and also taken into exile, but later they were allowed to return to their land. The Jews (Judah) lived in the land of Israel until 70 A.D. when the Romans destroyed the Temple and scattered the Jews to the four winds.

There was no nation of Israel from 70 A.D. until 1948 when the modern nation of Israel was established and millions of Jews (Judah) starting returning to the land of their ancestors.

But what about the northern kingdom?

What ever happened to the ten lost tribes of Israel?

Did you know that the Scriptures very clearly teach that in the last days the southern kingdom (Judah) and the northern kingdom (Ephraim) will be reunited in the land of Israel once again?

Ezekiel 37:15-23

The word of the LORD came to me: "Son of man, take a stick of wood and write on it, 'Belonging to Judah and the Israelites associated with him.' Then take another stick of wood, and write on it, 'Ephraim's stick, belonging to Joseph and all the house of Israel associated with him.' Join them together into one stick so that they will become one in your hand. "When your countrymen ask you, 'Won't you tell us what you mean by this?' say to them, 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: I am going to take the stick of Joseph—which is in Ephraim's hand—and of the Israelite tribes associated with him, and join it to Judah's stick, making them a single stick of wood, and they will become one in my hand.' Hold before their eyes the sticks you have written on and say to them, 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: I will take the Israelites out of the nations where they have gone. I will gather them from all around and bring them back into their own land. I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel. There will be one king over all of them and they will never again be two nations or be divided into two kingdoms. They will no longer defile themselves with their idols and vile images or with any of their offenses, for I will save them from all their sinful backsliding, and I will cleanse them. They will be my people, and I will be their God.

So has this happened yet?

Of course not.

So that means that this prophecy is still yet to be fulfilled.

Either it will happen or God is a liar - and we know that God is not a liar.

Ephraim and Judah will be reunited once again just as the Scriptures tell us. You can also read about this reunification in Isaiah 11, Jeremiah 16, Jeremiah 23 and Zechariah 10 among other places.

Could it be possible that God is getting ready to fulfill these Scriptures?

The answer, amazingly, is yes.

God is getting ready to do something so big that it will shock the world.

God has commissioned Prophet Deckard to gather the ten lost tribes of Israel (Ephraim) and to take them home to the land of Israel.

So just who is Prophet Tom Deckard?

Prophet Tom Deckard is the controversial prophet who has been stunning the Christian community in the United States with the truly amazing miracles that he has been performing, and he has a prophetic track record that is 100 percent accurate that stretches back over 30 years.

Prophet Deckard has prophesied to presidents, prime ministers, and leaders all over the globe.

These are just a few of the major events that Prophet Deckard has prophesied that have come to pass.....

*He prophesied 9/11 two years in advance.

*He prophesied the end of the Cold War a year before it happened.

*He prophesied the coming of the AIDS epidemic two years before it hit.

*He prophesied both Iraq Wars two years before the first one even began.

*He prophesied the fall of the Berlin Wall in advance.

*He prophesied the Indonesian Tsunami and told the people living there to move from the coast while they could.

*He prophesied the economic collapse of the United States many years in advance and most people laughed and said that it could never happen. They aren't laughing anymore.

Not only that, but God confirms the message that Prophet Deckard speaks by the signs, wonders and miracles that God works through him.

The Lord God heals the blind, the deaf, the lame and those with terminal cancer through Tom Deckard. Children with autism are completely healed and restored to full health. In one crusade in Africa alone, hundreds of people were healed from AIDS and went back to the doctor and were medically certified as having been healed. He has even seen three people raised from the dead during the course of his ministry.

Come and see.

Prophet Deckard will be in Raleigh, North Carolina on June 6th and 7th. You can get full details here:

Come and be a part of the greatest move of God of this generation.

Could it be possible that God is calling you to be part of this movement?

Could it be possible that you are part of the ten lost tribes of Israel?

Watch the following video with an open heart. If you get a hold of this it will radically change your life.....



You always knew there was more, didn't you?

You always knew that the power of God was still real today, didn't you?

Come and see.

Drive, fly, take a train, run, catch a ride with a friend.....do whatever you have to do to get there to Raleigh on June 6th and 7th. If God is tugging on your heart as you read this, then make sure that you get there. It's a free conference. God is moving and you don't want to miss this.....

Do you want to see the real power of God?

Do you want to hear about what is going to happen to America from a proven prophet with a 100 percent track record?

Do you want to hear about how the Lord God is actually gathering the ten lost tribes of Israel?

Come and see my friend.

Come and see.

This news item is quite chilling.

A Saudi inventor has come up with the idea for an RFID chip that can be inserted into humans and can kill them remotely if the government feels that it is necessary.

An application for this invention was received by the German Patent Office on October 30, 2007 and was published 18 months later, but it will not be approved in Germany because it is considered a danger to the public.

Apparently this RFID chip that the Saudi inventor came up with would be implanted under the skin so the whereabouts of whoever is implanted could be tracked by global-positioning satellites.

The purported benefits of this technology include preventing illegal immigrants from overstaying and keeping track of people who may be "terrorists".

Apparently this chip would also contain a poison such as cyanide, which could be released remotely to "eliminate" people if they became a "security risk".

In light of what we know about Bible prophecy, a technology like this is a very frightening thing indeed.

Could the swine flu be a plague of the end times?

A lot of Christians are asking that question.

So what is the answer?

Well, one thing that we need to be clear on is that we are not even close to the Tribulation period yet, so this plague is not part of what is going to happen during the Tribulation.

But if the swine flu does become a devastating worldwide pandemic, it may indicate that the judgment of God is being poured out in a larger measure than we have seen before.

These next couple of weeks are going to be very interesting, that is for certain.

As the swine flu virus continues to race across the globe, some analysts are now asking whether this strain of the swine flu was man-made.

Indonesian Heath Minister Siti Fadilah Supari publicly stated on Tuesday that the swine flu virus could have been man-made.

Dr. Sherry Tenpenny has an excellent article out regarding the suspicious circumstances regarding the suspicious nature and appearance of this disease.

In addition, Dr. Leonard Horowitz is not only arguing that the swine flu virus was definitely man-made, but he is also naming specific doctors and organizations that he believes are possibly involved. Just check out this stunning YouTube report:



Whether this swine flu is man-made or not, the reality is that it is spreading quickly.

There are also now frightening indications that the swine flu outbreak is much worse than the mainstream media is telling us. Multiple eyewitness reports out of Mexico confirm that the real death toll there is far higher than the 152 confirmed deaths that are being reported internationally.

Comments from Mexican eyewitnesses on a BBC News website tell of a much bleaker situation in Mexico than we have been told in the mainstream media. These chilling reports should put a chill up your spine.....

*Antonio Chavez, a medical doctor from Mexico City:

I’m a specialist doctor in respiratory diseases and intensive care at the Mexican National Institute of Health. There is a severe emergency over the swine flu here. More and more patients are being admitted to the intensive care unit. Despite the heroic efforts of all staff (doctors, nurses, specialists, etc) patients continue to inevitably die. The truth is that anti-viral treatments and vaccines are not expected to have any effect, even at high doses. It is a great fear among the staff. The infection risk is very high among the doctors and health staff.

There is a sense of chaos in the other hospitals and we do not know what to do. Staff are starting to leave and many are opting to retire or apply for holidays. The truth is that mortality is even higher than what is being reported by the authorities, at least in the hospital where I work it. It is killing three to four patients daily, and it has been going on for more than three weeks. It is a shame and there is great fear here. Increasingly younger patients aged 20 to 30 years are dying before our helpless eyes and there is great sadness among health professionals here.

*Alvaro Ricardez, Oaxaca City, Oaxaca, Mexico:

In the capital of my state, Oaxaca, there is a hospital closed because of a death related to the porcine influenza. In the papers they recognise only two people dead for that cause. Many friends working in hospitals or related fields say that the situation is really bad, they are talking about 19 people dead in Oaxaca, including a doctor and a nurse. They say they got shots but they were told not to talk about the real situation. Our authorities say nothing. Life goes on as usual here.

*Migdalia Cruz, Phoenix, Arizona:

I have a sister-in-law from San Luis Potosi state in Mexico and we were told that in San Luis Potosi there have been at least 78 deaths, just in that city alone, not 68 in all of Mexico, as is being reported. Schools have been closed until 6 May in this state and in other areas in Mexico. Also, many public venues are being closed, so this makes it more deadly and dangerous than has been stated.

*Yeny Gregorio Dávila, Mexico City:

I work as a resident doctor in one of the biggest hospitals in Mexico City and sadly, the situation is far from “under control”. As a doctor, I realise that the media does not report the truth. Authorities distributed vaccines among all the medical personnel with no results, because two of my partners who worked in this hospital (interns) were killed by this new virus in less than six days even though they were vaccinated as all of us were. The official number of deaths is 20, nevertheless, the true number of victims are more than 200. I understand that we must avoid to panic, but telling the truth it might be better now to prevent and avoid more deaths.

Hopefully reports like this will get out there and will make people realize how serious this all could become.

In the United States things are starting to become quite frightening as well. A child in Texas has become the first fatality from swine flu in the United States. In addition, there is now a report that North Carolina officials are involuntarily isolating swine flu patients. Please note the "involuntary" part of that. Imagine if this happens all over the nation and Americans who show symptoms of the swine flu start getting ripped away from their families and sent to isolation facilities and camps.

Very scary stuff.

U.S. officials now say that "a worst case scenario" for this swine flu crisis would be two million Americans dead.

That doesn't sound good.

Reports of new swine flu outbreaks are coming in almost constantly now and the World Health Organization has raised the threat level from a Level 4 Global Outbreak to a Level 5, which has never been done before. Meanwhile, scientists are completely puzzled how such a powerful strain that combines elements of swine flu, bird flu and human flu could have appeared seemingly out of nowhere.

So is this going to be the big one?

Is this the one that is going to kill millions of people?

It is too early to tell, but here is what we do know at this hour.....

First of all, this "swine flu" is not just run of the mill swine flu. It contains elements of the following.....

*Avian flu
*1918 Spanish (Human) flu
*European swine flu
*Asian swine flu

Now how in the world did an incredibly strong combination of these viruses appear seemingly out of nowhere?

Scientists are baffled.

Meanwhile this "swine flu" is popping up all over the U.S. and Mexico.

In Mexico alone, there are already over 2500 suspected cases and 159 suspected deaths from the swine flu so far. Most public events have been canceled, and millions of Mexicans are hiding indoors in an attempt to escape the swine flu.

91 cases of the swine flu have been confirmed in the United States, and the CDC says that it is too late to contain the swine flu outbreak in the United States.

In fact, over 100 public schools all over the United States are being closed due to fear over this swine flu.

These outbreaks in the U.S. and Mexico are already causing panic reactions from other parts of the world.

EU health commissioner Andorra Vassiliou has asked Europeans to postpone nonessential travel to the United States or Mexico. In addition, China has banned the import of hog and pork products from Mexico and parts of the United States.

However, the truth is that the swine flu is now spreading all over the world. Just today new reports of swine flu cases have come in from Canada, Israel, France, New Zealand, Costa Rica and South Korea.

Google actually has a great tool that you can use to track the spread of this swine flu. You can follow the progress of the swine flu on Google maps right here.

So what can we expect to see going forward?

The next few days are going to be key.

If only a few hundred people end up dying from this swine flu that is not that big of a deal. Hundreds of people die from many different causes every day.

But if this disease starts sweeping the globe and thousands of people start dying, then that could indicate that this IS the big one.

The reality is that we have been warning of a coming flu plague for quite some time.

What is even more disturbing is the possibility that this new flu may be engineered. We recently reported on the unlabeled bird flu/human flu mixture that Baxter International "accidentally" sent out to other labs.

Why would our scientists mix these dangerous viruses together so recklessly? The CDC was mixing human flu and bird flu together as far back as 2004. This is incredibly dangerous to do. One mistake and a pandemic virus can be released that could kill millions of people.

So how many people will this "swine flu" virus kill?

Is this going to become a massive pandemic that bring the world to a standstill?

Prophet Tom Deckard (who has a perfect track record stretching back over 30 years) has been prophesying for several years that a flu pandemic is coming that will kill millions of people. The following video examines Prophet Deckard's bird flu prophecy in light of recent events.....



So what should we all think about this?

The truth is that it is still way too soon to draw any firm conclusions. It will be important for all of us to stay tuned to the news over the next few days so that we can determine how to keep our families safe. However, the fact that the World Health Organization has raised the global pandemic alert level to Level 5 is certainly not a good sign.

As we move through these end times, the reality is that this world will become increasingly unstable.

Buckle up my friends.

It is going to be a bumpy ride.

*A new Department of Homeland Security report is being criticized for saying that U.S. forces returning from Iraq and Afghanistan are potential right-wing extremist recruits.

*The head of the Department of Homeland Security is defending the inclusion of prolife supporters in the agency's report that identifies potential "terrorist threats".

Apparently the U.S. government thinks that anyone who believes that we are living in the "end times" is a potential terrorist. On page 4 of the recent Department of Homeland Security report on "right wing extremism" Christians who believe in the "end times" are referred to as extremist individuals.

You can read a copy of this disturbing report for yourself here:

http://video1.washingtontimes.com/video/extremismreport.pdf

This report not only attacks Christians, but it unfairly labels tens of millions of ordinary Americans as potential terrorists.

Below is a list of 14 characteristics of a "domestic terrorist" that were pulled right out of the report.

According to the Department of Homeland Security, you may be a domestic terrorist if.....

*you are a U.S. military veteran returning from duty in Iraq or Afghanistan

*you believe in "end times" prophecies

*you believe in state or local authority

*you are against abortion

*you are against illegal immigration

*you believe in the 2nd Amendment

*you criticize any of the free trade agreements the U.S. has made

*you are against same-sex marriage

*you believe that an economic collapse is happening

*you think that the U.S. may declare martial law someday

*you believe that the U.S. is creating detention camps

*you stockpile food, ammunition or weapons

*you believe that illegal immigrants are taking away American jobs

*you believe "New World Order" conspiracy theories

The truth is that government has taken another step towards telling us what we can and cannot believe.

If you are a Christian and you believe we are living in the end times, now you have a new label....

Potential terrorist.
