1. False Christs
    (Mat.24:24) Jesus talked about false Christs and false prophets. A
    false Christ is anyone who claims to be equal or greater than God.
    The realization that an individual is placing himself in the role of
    deity is not always easy to discern.

 2. Occult
    There are two supernatural forces in the universe that are able to
    affecting the natural world. God said that prayer was only valid means 
    of getting his attention, and he forbids using occultic devices. Who 
    do you think will answers the inquiries using taro cards, astrology, 
    or psychic phone lines?

 3. Satanism
    Satanism is one of the more difficult categories there is to track.
    It has always been a shadowy topic. The devil's followers are very
    secretive in their actions and cryptic in the writings they publish.

 4. Unemployment
    The result of poor economic conditions. Unrest, Crime, and social
    change are effected more by job loss than any other economic factor.
    As warm water is the life blood to the development of a hurricane,
    unemployment is the energy for civil unrest and political upheaval.

 5. Inflation
    Inflation leads to higher interest rates, unemployment, and the loss
    of buying power. Back in 20's and 30's the collapse of the German
    government was mostly do to hyper inflation. It was also a major 
    factor in the rise of Hitler.

 6. Interest Rates
    The fluctuation of rates are what steers the economy. When people 
    make decisions in the market place, they're unknowingly guided by 
    interest rates. In Whatever directions rates head, the economy will 
    generally move in the same direction.

 7. The Economy
    How well an economy is doing determines the stability of a nation.
    When checking with history, one finds most movements toward war,
    dictatorship, and Lawlessness where aided by unfavorable financial
    conditions.

 8. Oil Supply/Price
    Oil remains an economic and a political issue. We fought The War in
    the Gulf because of its strategic importance. The final battle of
    Armageddon may also involve a dispute over oil.

 9. Debt and Trade
    In almost all countries there's a ballooning of public and private
    debt. Trade is an underestimated factor in the health of economies.
    The tariffs of the 30's did more mischief than speculators on Wall
    street. As time passes, the economies of the world will become more
    interdependent on each other. Any disruptions in trade could effect
    every nation.

10. Financial Unrest
    A crash followed by a depression is the severest economic condition
    a nation can expereince. In almost all occurrences were a country has
    endure economic hardship, social and financial changes have taken 
    place. The forces of darkness must be biding their time waiting for    
    fiscal despair. Few people realize the downpayments we made on 
    enslavement during the last depression, and the seeds we planted     
    are soon to reap a harvest of calamity.

11. Leadership
    As events transpire it's important to gauge how organized the events
    are. Random happenings may not repeat themselves while events with
    leadership progress to over come barriers. Leadership could come in
    the form of a drug cartel funneling drugs into a country, or it could
    be something like the melting of the ice caps, creating the concern
    for coastal floods.

12. Drug Abuse
    (Rev. 9:21) Everyone knows what drugs are today. The Bible also may
    make mention of drugs. In the book of Revelation the word sorcery
    has the Greek word pharmakeia as its root. This is where we get the
    word pharmacy. When it says, "they repented not of their sorceries,"
    it could mean they repented not of their drug use.

13. Apostasy
    (2 John 1:7) Simple abandoning or defecting from the faith. This can
    come in the form of staying up with the times, a new revelation from
    God, or turning to other religions all together.

14. Supernatural
    (Rev.13:13-14) When something occurs and science cannot explain it.
    The Bible says during the tribulation, the Antichrist will be able
    to deceive the world through the performance of miracles. 

15. Moral Standards
    This is the fabric which holds our society together. When a state of
    disorder takes over, strong forces are needed to bring back control.
    Civil rights are often the first casualty of this action.

16. Anti-Christian
    (2 Tim.3:3) A bias or hatred of the bible believing Christian. The
    media is the primary contributor to this category.

17. Crime Rate
    An insecure society looks for a strongman. As crime proliferates, it
    eats away at the nations moral and economic underpinnings. A nation
    with a high crime rate will eventually have less freedom because of
    the police state the unrest it brings on. High crime rates originates
    from low moral standards.

18. Ecumenism
    The movement to join all religions into one. This has been a goal of
    the Devil for sometime. By having all religion unified, he could more
    easily control their leadership.

19. Globalism
    The breaking down of barriers increases the number of alliances, and 
    it making the world more integrated.

20. Tribulation Temple
    (2 Thes.2:3-4),(Dan.9:27) If the Antichrist will sit in God's temple,
    it is logical to conclude the temple must be rebuilt. Daniel foretold
    that he will also stop the daily sacrifice.

21. Anti-Semitism
    (Rev 12:13) When Satan is cast from heaven, he persecutes the Jewish
    race because through them Jesus was born.

22. Israel Unrest
    (Zec.12:3) This category tracks the strife in the Israeli state. God
    said, "I will make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all the people."
    What other city attracts more news coverage than this one. Israel is
    the size of New Jersey, yet it averages more press than a country
    the size of Russia.

23. Russia (Gog)
    (Eze.38-39) Gog is the ancient name for the land of Russian. In the
    last days, Russia will make a move against Israel and be defeated by
    a supernatural act of God.

24. Persia (Iran)
    (Eze.38:5) Iran will aid Russia in attacking Israel before or during
    the tribulation. Even now, Iran acts as a destabilizing force in the
    world.

25. False Prophet
    (Rev.13:12) The Antichrist will have a religious leader to aid him.
    The present or future pope will have some connection because of the
    large influence the pope has. The Antichrist and False Prophet will
    be headquartered in the same area as of the Old Roman Empire.

26. Nuclear Nations
    (Rev.9:18) The use of nuclear armament during the tribulation will
    kill over 1/3 of the human population. Only in our time could this
    seem possible.

27. Global Turmoil
    (2 TIM.3:1) We have always had unrest in the world. The level of
    unrest is what's unique to our time. Terrorism has been redefined
    in the twentieth century. Today, more wars take place concurrently
    then at any point in the past.

28. Arms Proliferation 
    (Mat.24:6),(Rev.16:16) Jesus said there would be "wars and rumors of
    wars." The armament trade is not going out of business anytime soon.
    In fact, it will soon supply the biggest conflict in human history,
    the battle of Armageddon.

29. Liberalism
    It's  not just a part of the democratic party. liberalism is what I
    would call the "true conspiracy." The liberal media is 100 percent
    control by the forces that bow to this humanistic ideology.

30. Peace Process
    (Dan.9:27) This refers directly to Bible prophecy, where the state 
    of Israel signs a peace treaty with the Antichrist.

31. Kings of the East
    (Rev.9:16),(Dan 11:44) These are the nations of East Asia which
    will send a horde of 200 million soldiers into the Middle East.

32. Mark of the Beast
    (Rev.13:16) The economic system the Antichrist will implement. It
    will be compulsory, for all, to receive an implant in their right 
    hand or forehead.

33. Beast Government
    (Rev.17:12) The Roman Empire will revive under the leadership of Ten
    rules. This revived Roman Empire will exist for only 7 years.   
    (Rev.17:13),(Rev 13:5) After the Roman Empire is revived 3 1/2 years
    into a seven year rule, the Antichrist will take over and rule for
    the remaining 3 1/2 years.

34. The Antichrist
    (Dan.11:36-39) The most evil and destructive man who will ever hold
    public office.

35. Date Setting
    To create confusion ahead of Christs return, Satan will likely
    continue to moviate people into setting dates. By being exposed to
    date settings, I've noticed that non-Christians can made hostle to
    the end-time message.  

36. Volcanoes
    (Mat.24:7) Not mentioned specifically, volcanic eruptions fall into
    the birth pang theme Matthew described. Volcanoes have an ecological
    impact that effects other indicators.

37. Earthquakes
    (Mark 13:8) God used earthquakes to show his disapproval with man.
    I look for more earthquake activity as the return of Christ draws
    near.

38. Wild Weather
    (Luke 21:25) The description of the sea and the waves roaring would
    encompass all cyclonic activity.

39. Civil Rights
    To have a dictator you must have a shortage of this. The time you
    least expect your loosing your freedom is when you willingly give
    it up.

40. Famine
    (Mark 13:8),(Rev.6:6) Famines are a result of drought, a consequence
    of war, or are man made entirely. During the time of the tribulation,
    a days wage will be equal to a loaf of bread.

41. Drought
    (Mat. 24:7) Another one of the birth pangs Jesus described, drought 
    leads to famine or poor economic conditions.

42. Plagues
    Some Plagues come as a result of man's sin against nature like aids
    while others come as a curse directly from God.

43. Climate
    (Mat. 24:7) Jesus foretold of an increase in the severity of weather
    events as a sign of the end times. The extremities of nature are
    difficult to measure. Any activity that goes beyond normal weather
    patterns shuld be taken into consideration, whether God has a warning
    behind it.

44. Food Supply
    (Rev.6:6) Historically this has been a volatile indicator. That fact
    that we have been able to keep food production ahead of our booming
    population is not any guarantee of future success. A severe drought
    could disrupt order in small if not large countries.


45. Floods
    (Gen 6:7) Just like is was in Noah's time, devistateing floods are a
    sign of God's wrath against man's evil ways.
