Ever since the time of Adam and Eve, the forces of good and the forces of evil have fought for control of the earth. When the End Times arrive, these opposing forces will meet in a final decisive battle to decide the ultimate outcome. This battle is called Armageddon. It will continue for a thousand years, until the forces of evil are ultimately defeated. God will then create a perfect eternal kingdom on the earth, where all the good people will live forever in happiness and peace.
This final battle between good and evil is predicted in the later books of the Old Testament, especially the Book of Daniel. That it will take place at a location called Armageddon is prophesied in Revelation 16:16, which says that the forces of God will finally overthrow all the kings of the earth there. Some experts have identified this location as being near an ancient city named Megiddo where several important battles took place in biblical times.
In everyday language the word Armageddon is sometimes applied to a possible future global war, especially one that could wipe out civilization.

The introduction to this site says “In the last few years the world has gone from one earth-shaking crisis to another”, with the result that “humanity now totters on the brink of unprecedented disaster and chaos!” It then indicates that this unprecedented disaster and chaos is an undeniable sign that the world is rapidly approaching the End Times. The final result will be “an event so cataclysmic that it will change the World as we now know it for ever…the final apocalypse, Armageddon!”
The site points out that all of this is predicted by the infallible ancient prophesies of the bible. The only question is whether these catastrophes will happen in the distant future, or whether they are almost upon us now. According to the site, the signs are very clear that they are almost upon us.

Anyone interested in demons will find a wealth of information on this site. Various articles discuss their origin, their history, their powers and limits, their activities, and their relationship to the Devil. There is also a large encyclopedia which lists the names and attributes of dozens of individual demons.
In the encyclopedia section, I learned that a demon named Arazel, who is mentioned in the bible, has seven snake-heads, fourteen faces, and twelve wings. The book of Enoch says that it taught people how to make swords, shields, and other instruments of war.
The encyclopedia entry on a demon named Byleth says that it disguises itself as a magician riding a white horse, and that the sound of trumpets can be heard when it approaches. It is a high-ranking demon, but because it has a bad temper, it must be summoned with extreme care.
In a section on demonic possession, I read about the typical symptoms of possession, cases mentioned in the bible, some modern cases, and methods that exorcists use to treat the condition. Possible symptoms include violence, lust, greed, and an unnatural power of persuasion. The discussion of modern cases suggests that many of the most evil criminals, such as serial killers and mass murderers, are possessed by demons.
To view this site, go to Demons and Devils. In addition to the articles, there is also a gallery of images.

In the Mission Statement of this site, its author says that the Bible is the key to understanding the mysteries of the supernatural world. The table of contents indicates that these mysteries encompass such entities as angels, demons, the Devil, hell, miracles, and ghosts. But the site also discusses a number of other subjects, including astrology, UFOs, Nostradamus, cryptozoology, Halloween, the Antichrist, snake handlers, the Da Vinci Code, and the Rapture.
The page on Satanism suggests that there are about 10,000 active Satan-worshippers in the United States. The author cites a number of Bible passages about the Devil, such as his temptation of Jesus in the wilderness and various references in the Book of Revelation. One of the main conclusions is that Satan is still the ruler of the present age, but that eventually he will be overthrown and punished.
According to the page about demons, they were originally angels in Heaven who rebelled along with Satan and were thrown out and turned into demons. Since one-third of all the angels in Heaven rebelled, demons are very numerous. Although they are supernatural entities without physical bodies, they still have some intellect and can feel emotions. Demon possession occurs when a demon enters a person’s body and takes control of it. Jesus cured such possessed people by ordering the demons to leave their bodies.
Other subjects covered on this site include reincarnation, channeling, Heaven’s Gate, purgatory, and the End Times.

This website warns that the world has already entered the early stages of the End Times and that the tribulations have already started. It also warns us to immediately begin making preparations for surviving the ever-worsening catastrophes to come.
According to the site, the signs that we have entered the End Times are all around us. These include increasing numbers of natural disasters, skyrocketing oil prices, the Devil’s successful infiltration of the church, terrorist activities, appearance of new diseases, and people speaking in tongues. These signs indicate that the AntiChrist will soon appear, and that incredible wars will erupt.
But not only does the site warn us of the approaching disasters, it also gives us detailed instructions on how to survive them. The first and most basic instruction is to leave the city and set up a self-sufficient safe haven in a remote rural area. Then you must adopt a nineteenth-century pioneer lifestyle in which you grow and preserve your own food, provide you own heat and energy (wind and wood), and adopt natural medical treatments.
Because of the likelihood of a nuclear war, the site provides a map of the United States which shows prevailing wind patterns and the safest areas to live to avoid radiation from nuclear explosions.

In Matthew 6:10, Jesus told his followers to pray: “Your kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” With the problems of society all around us, it is obvious that the Kingdom of God hasn’t arrived yet. But any true student of bible prophesies knows that it will arrive soon.
Near the end of Jesus’ stay on earth, his disciples asked him when the Kingdom of God will come. He told them to watch for the Signs of the End Times. He then described a number of signs that will precede the final cataclysmic events which will prepare the way for the Kingdom. In this blog I will show that these signs are clearly visible now to anyone with eyes to see. So prepare your self for the coming end!
