Announcer: The following is
a presentation
of Tomorrow's World.
Most thinking people know that
something is wrong,
that our world is in trouble.
It's changing rapidly, and
the direction is not good.
It's a dangerous direction
heading toward chaos and war.
This troubled planet has seen
more than its share
of difficulties, but never has
there been a time
with more potential for global
catastrophe.
Modern transportation,
communication,
and other technologies
dramatically change
the speed with which
events happen.
Today's weapons are very
different from past centuries,
and any miscalculation by
a world leader
can send our world into a war
that challenges
our imagination.
But the potential for war is
only part of our problem.
Consider our moral decline.
Attitudes of what is right and
what is wrong
are changing at lightning
speed.
That which was once considered
immoral and perverse
is now the norm.
Anyone holding to past
thinking--thinking that was
common
only a decade ago--is ridiculed,
scorned,
and subject to a politically
correct silencing campaign.
Why such a sudden shift
in thinking?
And where is it headed?
On today's program,
I'll give you
four predictions
for your future.
These are as sure as
the rising and setting
of the sun, and they
will affect your life.
I'll also be offering you our
free publication,
Armageddon and Beyond.
It gives both the bad news and
the exciting good news
in our future.
You can receive this booklet
free of charge,
so be sure to have writing
material available
to take down the contact
information.
And stay tuned, because I'll be
right back
with four predictions
for 2018 and beyond!
♪
Welcome to Tomorrow's World ...
where today I'm going
to give you four predictions
for 2018 and your near future.
So let's get started.
Few people know very much
about the biblical prophet
Ezekiel, and fewer still have
any understanding
of his message.
It is therefore not surprising
that speaking of
an Ezekiel warning sounds
strange to virtually everyone.
So let me explain this in
just about five minutes time.
The Israelite people came
from the twelve sons
of a man named Israel--also
known as Jacob.
These twelve sons grew into
12 tribes in the land of Egypt
where they were eventually
enslaved, but were delivered
from bondage, under Moses.
This deliverance was
popularized in
the 1956 blockbuster movie,
The Ten Commandments .
This 3 hour, 40 minute movie
is still shown
almost every year on television
around the Easter holiday.
After coming out of Egypt,
the children of Israel
took over the land centered in
what is today known as Israel.
Two of their best-known kings
were David and his son Solomon.
David was a good king,
in spite of
a very serious sin involving
adultery and murder.
His son Solomon started out
well, but he fell into idolatry,
and this brought about a
division in Israel
after his death.
The division occurred when
Solomon's son Rehoboam
refused to lighten the tax
load upon his subjects.
This resulted in ten of the
twelve tribes
forming a new nation that
became known as
the House of Israel.
The Jews--along with the tribe
of Benjamin--
formed the House of Judah.
Now, shocking to most people is
the fact that numerous wars
were fought between
the Jews and Israel.
The first time the term Jews
is used in the Bible,
they were at war with Israel!
You can read this in
2 Kings 16:5-6...
So Israel was divided into
two separate nations.
The House of Israel immediately
fell into
idolatrous worship and they went
into captivity to Assyria
around 720 B.C.
They were taken to an area
between the Caspian
and Black Seas, but the House
of Judah continued
another 130 years.
Now, this background is
necessary to understand
the prophecies of Ezekiel,
and here's why.
Ezekiel was a Jew, from the
House of Judah,
who was taken captive by the
Chaldeans some 130 years
after the House of Israel
went into captivity.
Ezekiel was given a message
through a series of visions.
Notice carefully that his
message was primarily--
though not exclusively--
for the House of Israel,
rather than for his people
of the House of Judah.
A number of passages
in the book of Ezekiel
easily proves this.
Here is one from chapter 3,
verse 17:
A little later, Ezekiel
was told to portray a siege
against the city of Jerusalem.
This no doubt applied to what
was soon to happen
to that city, but notice that
the real message
was for the ten-tribe House
of Israel, not the Jews.
Here it is in Ezekiel 4:3.
"This"--that is the portrayal of
the siege--
"will be a sign to the house of
Israel."
And all one has to do is read
the following verses
to realize that Ezekiel knew
the difference between
the House of Judah--that is the
Jews--and the House of Israel.
This commission given to Ezekiel
is confirmed in the 33rd chapter
and the first nine verses,
but I'll only read
verses 7-9 for
the sake of time:
Now here is the crux
of the matter.
Ezekiel was told to warn the
House of Israel
that disaster would meet them
if they did not repent,
but he was 130 years too late!
Or was he?
Or, rather, was he to record
this message as a warning
to these people some
2500 years in advance?
Biblical prophecy is often dual.
It had a former fulfillment
but also a greater
end-time fulfillment.
The book of Ezekiel is dual--as
it clearly speaks of events
that are end-time--,and so his
message was preserved
to be taken to the House of
Israel in the latter day.
This work of Tomorrow's World
understands that,
and we realize we have a
responsibility to take
that message to the
House of Israel.
Expect to hear more of this
warning in 2018 and beyond.
So prediction # 1 is:
Now it's understandable if you
are thinking right now
that this is a self-fulfilling
prediction.
But is it?
Or is it not the fulfillment
of a prediction made
more than 2500 years ago?
Our second prediction cannot be
thought of as self-fulfilling,
but it is sure, and you will
see it.
I'll give you that
prediction shortly,
but first I want to inform you
of today's offer:
Armageddon and Beyond.
This publication shows
where our world is headed,
and not only gives
the bad news but also
the good news that
is sure to come.

what else to expect

Before the break, I explained
what the Ezekiel Warning is
and that it would be proclaimed
in 2018 and beyond.
Our second prediction involves
the response of our peoples
to that warning:
The decline in moral values
over the last hundred years
has been dramatic, but it's
picked up speed
in the last ten years as more
and more people reject God.
Men and women live openly
together in an unmarried state
with no stigma attached to this
arrangement.
They couple and decouple
routinely,
sometimes leaving children
hurting and bewildered,
not understanding why they only
live with one parent.
Or worse yet, why they have
multiple mothers or fathers.
There are voices crying out
against the course
our world is taking, but those
voices are drowned out
by those promoting immorality,
and there is clearly
a silencing campaign at work
against them.
This campaign to suppress free
speech is especially active
on university campuses.
As Miriam Grossman writes
in her powerful expose
Unprotected
This suppression of speech
and thought is not reserved
for university campuses.
Kirsten Powers is a
self-described liberal
who has become alarmed by the
suppression of ideas,
so much so that she wrote a
book chronicling the problem.
She wrote:
Rejection of biblical values
is what political correctness
is all about.
It's censorship disguised in the
sheep's clothing
of tolerance and diversity.
This suppression of truth was
described nearly 2000 years ago
in the pages of the Bible and
how it will end
with the wrath of God.
Here it is from Romans 1:18:
The result of rejecting God--
as shown by human behavior--
is listed beginning
in verse 28:
And this brings us back to
the Ezekiel warning.
While the prophet Ezekiel
was to take a warning
to the Israelite nations,
he was told that they
would not listen.
His message would be rejected
and scorned by a rebellious
people.
Expect the message of
repentance to be rejected.
Moral values will continue to
slide at a dizzying pace
as our nations descend into a
death spiral of immorality.
Consider how far we have
declined in just
the last five years.
I suggest you will be shocked
to see where we are
five years from now!
Before I give my third
prediction for 2018 and beyond
--a prediction that you can
count on and one
that will not be pretty--I want
to give you another opportunity
to order your free copy of our
publication,
Armageddon and Beyond.
It gives biblical references

in your own Bible that reveal
where our world is headed.

prediction
of where all this is leading,

On today's program, I'm passing
along to you
four predictions for 2018 and
the immediate years that follow.
These do not come from a
fortune-teller
with a crystal ball
or taro cards,
nor are they the product
of star alignment.
These predictions come from
the pages of the Bible
and can be counted upon.
Before continuing, let me review
our first two predictions.
As we have seen, we are a
stubborn and rebellious people
who will continue to reject the
warning, and that brings us to:
Again, we're not talking about
the tiny nation
calling itself Israel that is
found at the eastern edge
of the Mediterranean Sea.
As we saw earlier in this
program,
the man Israel
had twelve sons.
These sons grew into large
families or tribes,
and the Jews are only one
of those tribes.
The others still exist today
and are far more numerous
than the Jews.
If you don't understand this,
be sure to ask for our booklet
on "America and Britain"
for proof.
Now let me say that I take no
pleasure in showing you
what God has decreed for the
Israelite nations
and for the world as a whole.
I've lived in the
United States,
Canada, and the United Kingdom,
and I have visited and have
friends in Australia,
New Zealand,
South Africa,
Belgium,
the Netherlands,
Switzerland,
and France.
These nations are largely made
up of descendants
of the patriarch Israel,
and they are in for
a rough time
in the years ahead.
We are rebellious and have--
as a whole--
rejected the God
who blessed us.
We make fun of and ridicule
those who hold biblical values.
The media and academia look down
upon people who believe in God.
Small, ignorant people make
sarcastic and crude comments
on the Internet about people
who question evolution,
as though it were a fact
instead of an unproven theory.
This behavior is not
going to end well.
God is patient, but His
patience appears
to be wearing thin.
We see disaster upon disaster:
mass shootings,
hurricanes,
droughts,
floods,
and fires.
The United States is more and
more seen as a problem
for the world.
Canada is on the path to
legalizing marijuana,
and won't that be dandy
to have half the country
spaced out when important
decisions are considered!
Some would even suggest that
this is already the problem!
My friends, don't expect
things to get better.
There will be up's and down's,
but the general trend
is going to be in one
direction, and that is down!
God promised great blessing
for our peoples
if we obeyed Him, but there is
a flip side,
as seen in Leviticus 26:14...
We see terror--just as the
prophecy tell us would happen.
We see wasting diseases such as
HIV and AIDS,
but it is not politically
correct to link these diseases
with immoral behavior.
That will bring howls of
disgust,
but it is a fact , my friends,
that HIV and AIDS is the result
of immoral behavior.
Yes, there are innocent victims,
but only because others
choose to violate
the law of God.
Our society refuses
to face the truth!
We also see other nations
buying up our farm lands,
industries,
and natural resources.
The prophecy goes on to say:
"I"--that is God...
The prophet Hosea also tells us
something that is happening
and has already happened
in some areas.
Newfoundland was once a
treasure trove for cod fishing,
but no more.
Some years ago, something
happened that no one
could imagine: the fishing
industry collapsed
when the cod nearly
disappeared.
The United Kingdom has seen
their rich fisheries
fall into the hands of others
because of
European Union regulations.
Is this prophecy in Hosea--that
I'm going to read
--only a coincidence?
Or is there more to it?
Note the moral cause of the
problem at the beginning.
Read it in your own Bible,
Hosea 4:1-3...
...and note this..."Even the
fish of the sea will be taken
away."
This is only the beginning.
The prophet Ezekiel tells us
how God looks upon
our choices and our rejection
of Him and His laws--
laws that were given to us
for our good.
Ezekiel also records an earlier
prophecy in which
he is told to shave his head and
beard and divide the shavings
into three groups.
Chapter 5, verses 12 and 13,
tells what each of these groups
mean:
With all this bad news, we need
some good news

will be.

So far we've seen a lot of
bad news, but there truly is
good news for the future
of the Israelite nations
and for the whole world
as a whole.
The prophet Jeremiah calls
the time just ahead of us
"the time of Jacob's trouble,"
but then he shows
that our peoples will be saved
out of this time of trouble.
Jeremiah 30:7...
We learn that the House of
Israel and the House of Judah
will both be in captivity
when the Messiah,
Jesus Christ, returns; but
again, they will be delivered.
Many prophecies describe this
time after Christ returns
and what a wonderful world
it will be!
Before we close let me share
with you
just one of those prophecies.
It's found in Isaiah 2:
