Dear Loved One:

I would first like to say that you are in my prayers, as well as my heart.  This letter is being sent to you for those two very reasons.  The times in which we live are very troubled.  Things are quickly moving to a point in this world that make me feel that it’s very important that your house is in order spiritually, and your family and loved ones are prepared for the coming days. 

In the last year or so there has been a massive increase in earthquakes worldwide, and they have been growing in magnitude. This country was hit with more hurricanes and tornadoes (and more deadly ones) last year than most people can remember, and the weather predictors expect even more this year.  Each summer is becoming the hottest on record, with hundreds of people dying from the heat.  The winters are growing shorter, but more extreme.  But in some areas it’s still snowing well into summer.

There seems to be a new disregard for human life:  children killing children, parents killing their kids, unprovoked random violence, racial divisiveness, and acts of cruelty.  All of these things have been written about.  You’ll find evidence of this in the book of Revelation.  The Bible also talks about in the latter days that there will be a deception played upon man.  Through prayerful study and investigation, I strongly believe that this deception is beginning to be played out now. 

You may be aware of an episode that was shown recently on TV showing an autopsy of a supposed extraterrestrial, as well as increased sightings of UFOs, the growth of psychic awareness and New Age philosophy, and the move to break down barriers between the religions to encompass a one-world religion that espouses many of the beliefs of Buddhism and Hinduism (meditation, altered levels of consciousness, godhood, spirit guides).  We also have seen the emergence of the European Union and NAFTA, which serve to unite countries into a one-world government.  All these things laid out separately would not mean much, but all of them occurring together at one time, along with rapidly growing computer technology, the movement away from the monetary system, and the fact that this could happen at no other time in history but now, places the emphasis on that we do live in the “End Times”.  Still you might not be convinced, so I’ll elaborate on some of the issues I’ve previously stated. 

Israel became a nation in 1948 in a miraculous war that was not only a fulfillment of prophecy, but the signpost of coming events. In that year alone, there were UFO sightings reported in every state in this country. Since that time, there has been an continuing increase in the incidence of sightings of UFOs, cattle mutilations, and alien abductions.  The so-called UFOs leave a strange effect upon the people that they visit.  The symptoms are usually:  nausea, disorientation, lost time, objects moving, a sense of uneasiness, fear, and terror.  All of which parallel, or can be found when studying demonic possession.  These entities sometimes masquerade as loved ones that have recently died.  But we know that these activities are demonic, even though they seem to come in good faith, for the bible says that there is a great chasm fixed between the living and the dead that cannot be crossed.  There are no dead spirits visiting the living; only demons in disguise.   

The recent TV episode of the alien autopsy and the mass sightings of UFOs lead me to believe that this is all part of a mass deception.  For if there was really life on other planets, God would surely have written about it.  The one thing that proving that extraterrestrial life exists would serve to do would be to destroy the basis of Christianity.  And this seems to be just what the alien life forms are attempting.  It has been recorded many times by people who claim to have been abducted by aliens that the message they bring is that ‘we are gods, and that it is within us to change ourselves and the environment.’  In short, we don’t need God, because we are gods.  This “man as god” behavior will only lead to man’s falling away from God even more.  In fact, the number representing the name of the Antichrist, 666, symbolizes man as god.  Satan has always tried to emulate God, to place himself above God, and to perform every miracle that Jesus performed.  It is my belief that all of the sexual experimentation being done on abductees and removal of organs in cattle mutilations is Satan’s attempt to create man.  Accomplishing that would put him on the level of God. 

I believe that this whole UFO/alien phenomenon is a demonic plot to distract us from what’s really going on. It seems far more accepting for us to deal with a demon that appears to us in the form of an alien from another planet.  At the same time it also hinders our belief in the Bible and takes away from the fact that we were created by God.  Almost every abductee that has been interviewed has returned with the message that the aliens, who claim to be gods themselves, created us scientifically in their image.  They go on to say that Jesus, who was also an alien, came to enlighten us about our own godhood.  According to them, we unfortunately mistook Jesus as God instead of understanding that He was just like us.  These aliens seem intent upon breaking down the basis of Christianity.  Why would aliens travel millions of light-years to this planet just to tell us that Jesus is not God? 

But, if our first formal contact with aliens was timed to coincide with the rapture, could they convince the world that they were responsible for the disappearance of millions of Christians?  These so-called aliens could claim they had “beamed” those missing off the planet because they were hindering the evolution of man to his higher level of consciousness.  By the time the taking up or the rapture occurs at the midpoint between the Tribulation and the Great Tribulation periods, we will have gone through so much tribulation and heartache, we will be willing to accept any explanation.  The tribulation of which I speak is scriptural.  The bible speaks of three separate periods of time:  a time of Troubles or Sorrows; followed by the Tribulation which is 3 ½ years in length; and then the Great Tribulation which is also 3 ½ years, giving us the 7 year period spoken of in the bible.  During that time we will see a re-emergence of the Nazi mentality.  At the beginning of the Nazi regime, the focus was not to massacre the Jews, but just to corral and control not only the people, but their financial, economic and religious way of life. As the Nazi plan grew, it expanded into a holocaust, with the separation and destruction of families and communities, so as to break down the Jewish resolve and faith.  Considering the chaos created by such an event as the rapture, people might be accepting of any seemingly logical explanation.  Not only that, but others would be strongly motivated to try to attain this higher level.  This channeling and meditation is being taught now in the Hindu, Buddhist, and Sikh religions.  But it is actually opening the way for demon possession.

We read in the word in Matthew 24:11:

And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.

And further in Matthew 24:24:

For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

And in Mark 13:6:

 For many shall come in my name, saying I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

And finally in Luke 21:8:

Take heed that ye be not deceived:  for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near:  go ye not therefore after them.

Jesus was persistent about a deception being played upon man; one so insidious that even Christians would be fooled.  It is for this reason that I send this message to you. 

If you are saved, now is the time to begin studying the word, watching current events, and praying for discernment through the Holy Spirit.  The bible tells of a time that many will be running here and there trying to gain knowledge, but it will be too late.  If you are not saved, now is the time to ask Jesus to become the Lord of your life, agree with him that you are a sinful creature, and ask for forgiveness.

We read in Daniel 7:21:25:

21 I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them; 22 Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom. 23 Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces. 24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings. 25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.

And in Revelation 13:1-10:

1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. 2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. 3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. 4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? 5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. 6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. 7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. 8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. 9 If any man have an ear, let him hear. 10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.

This pulling away from Christianity to a one-worldness brings us next to the European Alliance.  This is spoken about in Daniel and the Revelation as a revived image of the Roman Empire, out of which will come the Antichrist and the False Prophet. Keep in mind  that very often places mentioned in the Bible represent, not only a location, but a concept.  For instance, Sodom and Gomorrah were not only two cities in biblical history, but also represent God's viewpoint on homosexuality.  The resulting word, sodomy even came to represent the act.  In the same way, the revived image of the Roman Empire spoken of in Daniel represents not only areas in Europe, but carries with it the images of the first Roman Empire.  The first Roman Empire was known for its absolute power, cruelty, perversion, and dominance.  And history tells us that the original Roman Empire encompassed nations as far as Africa and the Mideast.  So, the Antichrist will be responsible for reviving the dictatorial grip that the Roman Empire once had on the known world.

I want to reiterate that the use of the term, ‘revived Roman Empire’ is not directly found in scripture.  The words used here are not to be confused with the terminology used on current tele-evangelical broadcasts.  The ‘Revived Roman Empire’ describes a reforming of a group of nations that have people of the bloodline of the first Roman Empire.  As we study Ethiopia, Chad, Libya and Egypt, we find that they are among the federation states that will be included.  We see a  form of the revived Roman Empire when we see the United Nations.   Anywhere you see a grouping of nations into one confederate state under one financial, religious and military banner, that would be considered an empire.  It is used loosely to describe the final kingdom from which will rise a dictator by way of peace.  Because Daniel is the key to understanding the Revelation, without a clear understanding of the book of Daniel and its players, then we will never understand what the Revelation is revealing to us.  It is not for those who love the Lord to be caught up in semantics or teachings that have been passed down from one pastor to another.  Finally, this revived empire has one other thing that sets it apart and makes it more diverse than either of the other empires that preceded it.  This empire will, as described, pluck up three of its members.  This empire will have a growing, festering hatred for the Jews of faith and the Jews of birth and Christianity, and it will absorb other religions and faiths.

We read in Revelation 17:3-5:

And I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet colored beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.  And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet color, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication.

This very symbol, a picture in all red of a woman riding a bull is being portrayed on the new European currency.  It also represents the concept of the revived Roman Empire.  The assassination of Israeli Prime Minister Yhitsak Rabin, the subsequent election of Benjamin Netanyahu, the ongoing peace negotiations, and the attempted giving away of parts of Israel all play into the coming one-world government .  You can hear our world leaders blatantly using the phrase, “new world order” again and again.  George Bush first used the phrase at the beginning of the Gulf War.   By the way, the Gulf War was prophesied about in the book of Daniel.  There is a second, more destructive war involving most of the same countries predicted there also.  Right now, there seems to be no end to the violence in Israel.  But all around we hear world leaders begging for peace.  Paul told the Thessalonians that when ‘they are saying peace and safety, then will trouble come down on them like a woman going into labor’.  Things will get so bad that Israel will sign a seven year pact with a leader that represents the revived image of the Roman Empire.  That will signal the beginning of the 3½  year Tribulation period, which will culminate with the increased hatred and persecution of Jews and Christians, the assassination of the Two Witnesses, and the subsequent taking up of all Christians.  Then will begin the second 3½ year period of the Great Tribulation.

This treaty will be broken 3½  years from the signing date.  This world leader who will promise protection and peace to Israel will be the Antichrist who is waiting in the wings now to take his seat.  But he cannot reveal himself until God instructs His archangel to cease his struggle with Satan, thereby allowing him his full power upon the earth.  Then and only then, will the Antichrist be able to break his peace treaty with Israel, and bring about suffering and pain to those left behind.  That is why it is so important that you and your loved ones know that Jesus died on the cross for you, and that all of your sins are washed by the blood of the Lamb. 

We read in Matthew 24:3-8:

Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of the coming and the end of the world?  And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.  For many shall come in my name, saying I am Christ and shall deceive many.  And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars:  for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.  For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:  and there shall be famines and pestilences, and earthquakes in diverse places.  All these are the beginning of sorrows.

And in Luke 21:25-26:

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 which are coming on the earth:  for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

Recently, the U.S. Treasury has begun to introduce new currency.  This change in the currency will, in all likelihood, be followed by a national ID card, then a national cash debit card, finally leading to a computer chip placed in the forehead or in the right hand.   We can see evidence of this coming with the introduction of the Lone Star debit card in place of food stamps in Texas and the Social Security Debit Card nationwide.  Anyone who signs up for Social Security for the first time now has to have direct deposit.  They have no choice.  Mastercard and Visa already have a cash debit card in the UK and other countries.  They even  introduced it here during the last Olympics.  There is a definite move worldwide to eliminate currency.  Not surprisingly, it is being done in a way that seems so convenient and helpful.  Who could resist?

We read in Revelation 13:16-18:

And he (the Antichrist) causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hands, or in their foreheads:  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.  Here is wisdom.  Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast:  for it is the number of a man; and his number is six hundred threescore and six (666).

Amazingly, Bill Clinton, with national ID card in hand, almost verbatim quoted a portion of this scripture as he touted the advantages of a national ID card. The legal immigrant green card is being phased out in favor of a computerized ID card.  Anytime you see a card with a bar code or magnetic strip on it, you know that information is being gathered about you:  where you live, your family size, what you eat, how much money you have, where you shop and travel, medical conditions, religious affiliations, where you work.

With the increase in kidnapping of children, runaway teens, and missing adults this computer chip technology will be pushed as a great idea for locating kidnapped or lost loved ones.  It’s already being used on farm animals and pets.  Parolees are fitted with cuffs to keep track of them, and now newborns are being fitted with cuffs so they can’t be taken unnoticed from the hospital.  New cars are being fitted with tracking systems (Cadillac’s Northstar System and LoJack) so you can be located on the open road.  With the computer technology of today the time is quickly approaching where all people on this earth will be tracked and monitored.  Our “missing children” and the wandering off of the elderly, along with the so-called “staggering crime rate” are not just coincidences, nor are they flukes of nature.   According to the FBI crime is on the decline, but it’s being portrayed in the media as increasing and wearing a black face.   All of these things serve a purpose:  the rash of school shootings, the shooting at the White House, all the reported crime are leading to gun control and the government looking over our shoulder.  You may feel strongly that guns are terrible and should be controlled, but the federal government has gone to great lengths to instill that feeling in all Americans ever since Reagan’s attempted assassination.

This computer chip technology, seemingly for our own good, is all leading to a pinnacle of one-world government where your daily activities and even your religious beliefs will be monitored.  Now is the time to be very sure of your salvation.  You must be strong and prayerful.  It is only through the power of the Holy Spirit that our eyes may be opened that we might gain understanding.  For those who confess Christ this is not a time for fear, but rejoicing.  We will be the generation to see Jesus face to face. 

We read in Luke 21:28:

And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

There are many who believe that Christians will be raptured or taken away before the Tribulation, missing all of the anguish and trouble to come.  But based upon my studies, I believe that Christians will be here for at least the first half of the Tribulation (3 1/2 years), and then raptured away. If you are not familiar with what the Rapture is, I’ll explain briefly: At a time known only to God, Jesus will appear from the eastern sky and take all believers, living and dead, with Him to heaven.  These people will literally disappear from the face of the earth.  He will return to earth at the end of the Great Tribulation to fight the final battle and establish His 1000 year kingdom on earth.

We read in Matthew 24:7-8:

7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

Many changes in the planet and in our way of life are quickly approaching.  We must learn to be self supporting, not relying on others to provide our needs.  There will come a time when those without the computer chip will be unable to buy and sell.  We must learn to let go of material things and simplify our lives.

Know that I love you, but more importantly God loves you and wants you to be with Him.  And there is only one way.  God has not kept it a secret, but has revealed it again and again.  More is needed than just believing in God; Satan believes in God.  You must have faith that Jesus is God, and that through His death and resurrection we have been redeemed.  Don’t be swayed by religions that strive to place Jesus on a lower level.  

He is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow.

Yours in Christ,

Rev. Dr. Ricardo Enoch Nuñez
