I. The pro-Western nation of Lebanon is wobbling right now, as Palestinian Hezbullah forces capture a large segment of the capital city of Beirut and block many roads.

The entire nation could conceivably topple into the hands of fanatic Islamic forces, led by Syria, with Iran standing in the background.

"BEIRUT, May 9 (Reuters) - The Iranian-backed Lebanese group Hezbollah took control of the Muslim half of Beirut on Friday, tightening its grip on the city in a major blow to the U.S.-backed government. Security sources said at least 11 people had been killed and 30 wounded in three days of battles between pro-government gunmen and fighters loyal to Hezbollah..."

What could have triggered this massive attack on the Lebanese government? After all, Hezbollah had always walked the line between threat of war and actual war very carefully, not wanting to trigger a war which could bring either Israel or America into the conflict. This next segment tells the story.

"The fighting, the worst internal strife since the 1975-90 civil war, was triggered this week after the government took decisions targeting Hezbollah's military communications network. The group said the government had declared war. In scenes reminiscent of the darkest days of the civil war, young men armed with assault rifles roamed the streets amid smashed cars and smouldering buildings. The sound of exploding grenades and automatic gunfire echoed throughout the night across a city still rebuilding from the civil war. By mid-morning the fighting had died down and Hezbollah and allied fighters were in control as loyalists put down their weapons."

Throughout the Middle East, fighters of the fanatic groups seem to be much better soldiers than the Western-trained soldiers of the pro-Western governments. We see this occur here, just as we have seen recently in Iraq. Right now, the Middle East is quaking under the threat of radical Islam. This reality flows directly from the American invasion and continuous war in Afghanistan and Iraq.

II. Meanwhile, across the Lebanese border to the south, Israel is gripped with a severe crisis of leadership!

"JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert admitted on Thursday taking cash from a U.S. businessman but resisted calls to resign over a police investigation into alleged hefty bribes over almost a decade ... He said he would resign only if he were formally indicted."

This scandal could not have erupted at a worse time! Not only is Lebanon under severe attack from the Palestinian terror group, Hezbollah, but President Bush is visiting Israel next week to accelerate the establishment of a Palestinian State! This next segment speaks to this reality.

"Whether he goes or not, doubt over his future is likely to upset his faltering, U.S.-sponsored peace negotiations with the Palestinians and will cast a heavy cloud over next week's celebratory visit to Israel by U.S. President George W. Bush. The White House said Bush still intended to make the trip."

Olmert's aides leaked the story that this bribery scandal is being brought on by right-wing politicians who are totally opposed to the land giveaway which Olmert is in the process of carrying out. This may be true, as it makes a whole lot of sense. But, if it is true, then Israel and the United States might be too distracted to prevent Hezbollah from capturing the pro-Western state of Lebanon!

III. Scientists may have discovered a way to neutralize the deadly Depleted Uranium being left in the air, soil, and water by Coalition Forces in Afghanistan and Iraq! This is the first good news in this dreary subject in the past five years of warfare!

"Fungi may have an important role to play in the fate of potentially dangerous depleted uranium left in the environment after recent war campaigns, according to a new report in the May 6th issue of Current Biology, a publication of Cell Press. The researchers found evidence that fungi can “lock” depleted uranium into a mineral form that may be less likely to find its way into plants, animals, or the water supply ... Fungi may have an important role to play in the fate of potentially dangerous depleted uranium left in the environment after recent war campaigns, according to a new report in the May 6th issue of Current Biology, a publication of Cell Press."

"The researchers found evidence that fungi can “lock” depleted uranium into a mineral form that may be less likely to find its way into plants, animals, or the water supply."

If this is true, then it is possible that Depleted Uranium poisoning could be neutralized in the soil, air, and water of these two unfortunate countries.

However, this report does not mention whether people -- both soldiers and civilians -- who have already ingested fatal doses of D.U. poisoning in their bodies can be saved. If these people cannot be saved, then they will go ahead and die, even though the environment can be cleaned up. Medical sources who have proven to be very reliable have told me that, in 20 years, the vast majority of people will be dead and/or dying. That death has already begun, and is being ignored by Mass Media press.

IV. Might we see the "Democrat Dream Trip" ticket of Senator Obama and Senator Clinton?

Now that Obama has assumed the air of invincibility in the drive for the Democrat Presidential nomination, talk has surfaced again about and Obama/Clinton ticket.

"WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democrat Barack Obama on Thursday did not rule out selecting rival Hillary Clinton as his vice presidential running mate if he ultimately defeats her in a race in which he has an almost insurmountable lead. 'There's no doubt that she's qualified to be vice president, there's no doubt she's qualified to be president', Obama told NBC News."

In the next sentence, the Illinois Senator admitted that he has not "sewn up" the nomination quite yet.

"he said he had not wrapped up the Democratic presidential nomination, but when he does, he will start going through the process of selecting a running mate. 'She is tireless, she is smart. She is capable. And so obviously she'd be on anybody's short list to be a potential vice presidential candidate', said Obama, who inched closer to winning the nomination by routing Clinton in North Carolina and almost defeating her in Indiana on Tuesday."

To see the truth of Obama's statement, let us review the delegate count and the six remaining states in which a primary will be held.

"Barack Obama’s South Carolina supporters are feeling good about his victory in North Carolina Tuesday night. Those supporters are bracing themselves for a continued battle against U.S. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., even as they hope she does not make good on her pledge to stay in the race. 'The handwriting’s on the wall', said Anton Gunn, an anti-poverty activist who worked for the Obama campaign in South Carolina. 'She can’t overtake Barack'.”

The question is not whether Clinton can overtake Obama: the real question is whether he can win enough delegates to secure the nomination on the first ballot. Let us address this most important issue now.

"Clinton 1,686
Obama 1,845
Needed to win 2,025
REMAINING STATES, DELEGATES AT STAKE

Thus, Obama is now 180 delegates short of winning the nomination on the first ballot. Now, let us examine the states yet to hold a primary and the delegates each state possesses.

The total delegate count from these last six states is 217. Therefore, Obama would have to win 83% of these last states in order to capture the nomination on the first ballot. If he cannot win on the first ballot, then the superdelegates will be called upon to name the President. If Clinton forces Obama past the first ballot, she could conceivably win the nomination.

We can only wait to see how this scenario plays out, remembering that the final outcome is predetermined. Does the Illuminati want a first woman President or a first black President? That is the question of the hour.

There is no peace on Earth since the Lord's Kingdom has not yet come and since His Will is not being followed

The prophesied "Peace On Earth" has not yet arrived, despite seemingly strenuous efforts by human leaders to bring peace

Study of the prophetic declaration that the End of the Age will bring unprecedented wars and deaths before the Prince of Peace comes to establish final peace

Isaiah 40:7-8 - Teaches that, while this earth and its people are like grass which withers, the Word of the Lord stands forever
Bible charges us to take note that our time is very limited and we are to remember that we must die sometime. Modern man is too busy to take time to even consider Eternity.

Just as the great spiritual men of the Bible took care to live in light of their eventual death and of their eternity. This Biblical mindset brings joy and security in our spirit, not doom and gloom

The existence of the modern state of Israel and its continued life in the face of deadly resistance from peoples throughout the Middle East and the world.

What is the ultimate purpose of God drawing all peoples of the world into the Middle East (Joel 3)? To Judge them! The fact that the nations of the world are in the Middle East today opposing Israel is proof positive that the world is at the End of the Age!

Teaches the "Greater Israel" prophecy -- God promised Abraham that He will establish the nation from the River of Egypt to the River Euphrates (Genesis 15:18)

As the Earth marches toward its final fulfillment of Prophecy, most of its people have no idea that events are fulfilling prophecy. The FINAL fulfillment of all prophecy is a PERSON, the Lord Jesus Christ. In him all prophecy finds its completion

In the Rapture Jesus comes to capture His Church, which is the FINAL fulfillment of prophecy as far as the Christian Church is concerned

Once the Church has been removed from the Earth, Jesus then moves to confront the darkness of Antichrist with His glorious Light, as is revealed in Scripture.

Great study of the beginning of evil in this world. The final prophecy fulfillment for the Devil and his men shall be the eternal Lake of Fire. But, the Church is safely hidden in Heaven. Sin has been eradicated, and believers will reign with the Lord in their glorified body! What a glorious study! Will greatly increase your faith - http://cuttingedge.org/detail.cfm?ID=1839

This category has simply exploded in sales! People have come to love these one-hour prophetic presentations on Audio CD. We have had be order twice per week for the past three weeks, and people ordered this entire category very strongly over the weekend.

Customers love these pointed, subject-oriented CD presentations. You will love them, too.

Through Desertion, Divorce, and Death - Gaining Spiritual Depth Never Before Known!

Elizabeth Lapp lost her husband when he was unfaithful to her and divorced her. Though she was wounded deeply, rejected and brokenhearted , she learned to rely heavily upon her unfailing heavenly Bridegroom! She discovered that the God of all grace supplies Grace to His children during life's most trying circumstances

Lapp realized that, while she had no control over her husband's infidelity, she did have control over her response

Elizabeth chose to "cling to the Lord Jesus", living in the Psalms, and relying solely on God's Word

Elizabeth cried to the Lord, "I need my husband, his love, protection, and provision". The Holy Spirit replied, "For thy Maker is thine husband: the Lord of Hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel" (Isaiah 54:5) As Elizabeth submitted, she discovered that "having God as my husband became a satisfying experience for me".

But, this was only Stage 1. Once Elizabeth submitted, the Holy Spirit took her into deeper realms of spiritual love, grace, joy and peace which she never even knew existed!

"Power In Praise - How The Spiritual Dynamic of Praise Revolutionizes Lives!"

I highly recommend this fine book! God is said to "inhabit the praises of Israel" (Ps 22:3), so you know He inhabits the praises of His saints through Jesus Christ!

"Push the Praise Button, Not the Panic Button"! Watch God's power released after your praise.

However, most Christians miss out on experiencing the real power of praise because they do not understand one tiny detail: if we praise God for what is occurring in our life right now, recognizing it as part of God's plan, the Holy Spirit will release a power in our lives to change bad situations and to bring even better ones to fruition.

Example: A family had prayed for an alcoholic husband/father for 30 years, with no answer from God; but once they praised God for his alcoholism because it was part of God's plan for their father, the Holy Spirit immediately brought conviction into his heart and he became gloriously saved!

Are you surrounded by difficult circumstances right now? Praise God with understanding that He loves you and has allowed these circumstances to occur so He can bring good out of them for you. "Praise is based on an acceptance of the PRESENT as part of God's loving, perfect will for us. Praise is not based on what we think or hope will happen in the future ... but we praise Him for Who He is and where and how we are right now ... when we honestly praise God ... His power obviously flows into the situation" to change the circumstances of our lives. Praise is not a bargaining position, but when we honestly praise God for the difficulty facing us now, He builds upon our heartfelt praise to change us to the person He wants us to be. "If we could only learn to be delighted with the Lord in everything first ... then he will give you all your heart's desire"

"The turning point cannot come until we begin to praise God FOR our situation, instead of crying for Him to take it all away"

I personally testify that this "slight change of understanding" has occurred in my life! Today, I am totally in praise to Jesus my Savior and my life is truly full and victorious! Truly, this author is correct when he states that God's power is released once a Christian praises him for even the most dire circumstances because "Praise of Faith in Action" and by praising God for difficult circumstances, we are acknowledging that we agree that He is fulfilling Romans 8:28, that all things work together for good for those who are the called.! Upon this acknowledgment, God can and does begin to flow His Holy Spirit power in the life of His believer.

NOTE: We are Baptist and so do not agree with the author on speaking in tongues. However, this issue is completely separate from the key focus of this wonderful book. We recommend you read it carefully during your daily devotions

Evangelist and author Ray Comfort was found the scriptural way out of his attacks and fears, and wrote these bookz to guide you find the way out of your fears, anxieties, and sleeplessness!

At this point in world history, as the world spins inexorably toward the Final Birth Pangs which will produce Antichrist, discerning Christians realize they will likely be facing some very stern tests -- including a possible martyrdom.

Pastor Ray Comfort teaches us how to Biblically confront these panics, giving God the glory for our victory.

"Christian Combat Manual -- How To Overcome Objections To The Gospel And Win Souls"

'The Christian Combat Manual' is written to help Christians engage our current pagan, anti-christian culture. The chapters are carefully constructed to train ordinary Christians in how to confront and respond to the major intellectual and cultural challenges that face Christians today.
One chapter or the book describes the Socratic method of encounter by asking “counter-questions” that puts the burden of proof on the non-Christian, forcing him to defend his beliefs.

This unique soul-winning book is worth its weight in gold, as it "equips the saints" to witness and to win souls in this modern age in the Western World

Sample Chapters: 1) Eyewitness Testimony: Legal Evidence 2) Scientific Accuracy: No Myths or Inaccuracies 3) How Can Something Come from Nothing? 4) How Can Life Emerge from Non-Life? 5) Where are the Transitional Fossils? 6) Nature Demands a Creator 7) Why Do Bad Things Happen to Good People? 8) Did Jesus Claim to be God? 9) Resurrection: Fraud, Fantasy, or Fact? 10) Postmodernism: Moral Relativism, Religious 11) Pluralism, the “New Absolutes” 12) Postmodern Police: Multiculturalism and Political Correctness

"Dear Mr. Dominick -- I have to tell you that the information I gleaned from your books were a primary source that led me out of the church growth movement. Again, I am very thankful for your work. Better still, by God's grace, I have been able to assist no less than seven other families recognize the apostasy at work at these mega-churches! All of them have either left already or are in the process of pulling out.

Be encouraged today, my brother in Christ, that for every one believer like me who "get's it" with the aid of research like yours coupled with the guidance of the Spirit and The Word, of course, there are many other believers who benefit! Over time, I am confident that they too will help lead others out!

You just don't know what one book really means. You have no way of knowing its far-reaching effects this side of heaven.

We believe that Mr. Dominick's two books, pictured above, are the best expose's on the Purpose Driven Church which are on the market. Dominick has been a researcher for Cutting Edge Ministries since September, 1996, and is very familiar with the New Age Movement and with Witchcraft. From these twin perspectives, he has been able to reveal the 'underbelly' of the Purpose Driven Movement like no other author.

You can print this book out a chapter at a time, as you read them, using pre-punched 3-hole paper. Then, you can put these pages into a 3-ring binder, thereby giving you a book.

The objective of this book is to make people aware of the horrific foundation and agenda of the "Purpose Driven Church" and to bring them out. Soul-winning is a primary concern of Cutting Edge Ministries. Please pray for this total endeavor in your daily prayers.

A NEW RELIGION IS SWEEPING THE WORLD!! Already, massive conversions have taken place, claiming perhaps 4 billion converts -- among them many Christians

This new faith is a massive global boom in a materialisticly-based faith -- 'Mammonism' - which is leading the world into an End-Time trap - a global money snare. What form will this trap take and how can its grip be avoided? Can Christians prosper in the Lord's grace and still live free of any complicity in this End-Time agenda?

Author Wilfred Hahn, international financial executive, documents and unmasks the rise of three very powerful gods, a most deadly snare for the last-days world. You will be aware of the hooks and dangers of this time, as the Enemy of Your Souls is setting a deadly snare for you

Secret Mysteries III will next focus on the development of the new world as “The United States of America". This video will demonstrate that the history of America's government and of its official symbols is a history of secret societies

We shall be examining America’s much-talked-about dollar bill and the symbols it bears. Modern masonry claims that the all-seeing eye floating above the pyramid is not a Masonic symbol. But what did Freemasons President Franklin D. Roosevelt and his Masonic Vice President, Henry Wallace, believe when they attached this symbol to our currency in 1935?

How were these American leaders influenced by the Russian mystic, Nicholas Roerich? Does the all-seeing eye represent the Masonic Christ? Was the eagle originally a phoenix bird? And what do all these occult symbols mean?

Follow the journey of the Secret Mysteries series as we unveil their influence through the 20th century. Many believe that the real purpose of the many "Wars and Rumors of Wars" has been to establish a commonwealth of nations to rule the whole world. With the North American Union on the rise, is America the victim of deception? Or is she THE instrument of Global Government?
