-- WHAT THE TWIN TOWER DISASTER MEANS TO US --

THE BEGINNING OF MORE AND GREATER SORROWS

The predictions and prophecies of this Message are from our Holy Bible, ladies and gentlemen -- not from some phony Perverted Bible, nor the Koran or Book of Mormon. I received all these revelations from the Almighty God, and every prophecy is directly corroborated and confirmed by the prophecies of Jesus Christ, the Holy Prophets of the Old Testament, and the Holy Apostles who wrote our New Testament. If you attempt to find light and understanding from any source book except the King James Version of the Word of God, you will begin your quest in extreme blindness and ignorance, and end up in total blindness and gross darkness. So, my beloved, our proven King James Version of the Bible, is your only source of the true light that penetrates and unveils our dark and uncertain future.

I AM NOT A JOHNNY-COME-LATELY

I have prophesied since 1967 of a rising Gathering Storm of great violence and moral corruption -- filled with TERRORISM, Incurable Epidemics of Disease, Natural or Divine Disasters of Devastating Storms, Floods, Drought, Earthquakes, etc., and Resulting Famine. These catastrophic disasters have already begun, and I have been ridiculed for almost 35 years as a lunatic or false prophet. A friend of mine quit supporting this prophetic ministry several years ago, explaining to another friend of mine that he quit because "Bro. Ray doesn't preach on anything but sword and famine." Well, my Lord and Master introduced me to this ministry and the message "The Gathering Storm", thusly: "And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars ... 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 divers [many] places. ALL THESE ARE [JUST] THE BEGINNING OF [GREATER] SORROWS." Matt. 24:6-8. Thank you Mighty God!

On a certain day in Christ's lifetime, His apostles showed Him the great buildings of Jerusalem. Jesus answered prophetically, "See ye not all these things? ... There shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down." Matt. 24:1-2. The apostles then asked Him for the signs or indicators when these things would be fulfilled. Jesus explained clearly that the fulfillment of this prophesied disaster would occur in days that closely precede His return -- that's our generation!

SKYSCRAPERS ARE PROVOCATIONS TO GOD

The world's first skyscraper, the Tower of BABEL, resulting from man's pride and arrogance failed to survive God's judgments. God's Apocalyptic judgments of our endtime are revealed in the Book of Revelation, one of God's last consuming acts of wrath: "And there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great ... And the cities of the nations fell." Rev. 16:18-19. Every tall building will fall, and every city will soon look like the pile of ruin and debris from the exploding Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City. Believe it or not -- this is just the beginning of destruction, heartache, and death in our beloved nation. Why? Because we talk about God, but have removed our hearts far from Him, so said Jesus. Cf. Matt. 15:6-9.

HOW CAN YOU FIND THE TRUTH?

Even if you go to church, the odds are great that you'll not find out the Truth about God's mysterious works and acts. A recent National Poll revealed that 94% of America's clergy [ministers] have never read the Holy Bible all the way through. You can't possibly find out the Truth about God's present or future dealings from these men. "My people know not the judgment of the Lord," Jeremiah 8:7 -- because Preachers don't know!

Please accept the Truth from a prophet of God that has been tested and proved, including 37 years of prophecy that pierces the darkness of the rising Storm of Great Violence and moral corruption as it was in Noah's Day that preceded the devastating Storm that no one but Noah and his family believed was truly coming, and all the other people perished in their unbelief. We have available printed copies of the prophetic message, the Gathering Storm from 25 years ago to prove that the message and warning was from the Holy Ghost and the Holy Bible.

OUT OF THE NORTH COUNTRY

The North country in Bible prophecy has always referred to the same geographical location that our Terrorist attackers came from -- Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, etc., anciently called Persia, Chaldea, Assyria, Babylon and other names. God has always used these wild and uncivilized nomadic tribesmen to invade and spread terror upon the nations God chose to severely chasten for their pride and idolatry. And we qualify for these wild men to visit us with Terrorism and Sorrows.

Before God's severe chastening upon Israel for their rebellion and idolatry, He spoke to His prophet Jeremiah this warning in a vision: "What seest thou? And I [Jeremiah] said, I see a seething pot; and the face thereof is toward the NORTH. Then the Lord said unto me, Out of the NORTH an evil shall break forth upon all the inhabitants of the land." Jer. 1:13-14. And it did!

GOD'S JUDGMENTS ARE FAIR

But why? God said, "Also in thy skirts is found the blood of the souls of the poor innocents: I have not found it by secret search, but upon all these [women]." Jer. 2:34. Bloody Abortions! Further: They [even the church people] "have filled this place with the blood of innocents." Jer. 19:4. And further, God assures His own people: "Every one that passeth thereby shall be astonished and hiss because of all the PLAGUES thereof." Jer. 19:8. The heart of our problem is contained in this Divine pronouncement: "I Hearkened and heard, but they spake not aright: no man repented him of his wickedness, saying [to God], What have I done? every one turned to his course, as the horse rusheth [insanely] into the battle." Jer. 8:6.

Ladies and gentlemen, what is more innocent than the soul of a fetus that is killed unmercifully by the sadists of our old Sick Society? Terrorism and plagues will judge our nation of perverts and conscienceless mothers, doctors, and the millions who support this holocaust! Cf. Rom. 1:32.

OUR NATION IS FULL OF TERRORISTS

As God's prophesied Storm of Terrorism swiftly approaches His rebellious people of Israel, God's prophet warned: "For evil appeareth out of the north, and great destruction." Jer. 6:1. As the Terrorists drew ever nearer to Judah and Jerusalem, the prophet gave the terrible details of the Storm of Terrorism thusly: "Thus saith the Lord, Behold, a people cometh from the north country, and a great nation shall be raised from the sides of the earth. They shall lay hold on bow and spear; they are cruel, and have no mercy; their voice roareth like the sea; and they ride upon horses, set in array as men for war against thee, O daughter of Zion ... for the spoiler shall suddenly come upon us." Jer. 6:22-23, 26.

Our nation is infested with terrorists who have migrated from the "North" country, who will help bring these destructive prophecies to pass, because like Israel, we have rebelled against the Lord and the Bible. God has warned, "I will bring evil from the north, and a great destruction ... he is gone forth from his place to make thy land desolate; and thy cities shall be laid waste, without an inhabitant." Jer. 4:6-7. "O that was a warning to Israel, not to us," some old smart-alec preacher declares. The Prophet Jeremiah continues to leave his divinely received prophecies covering all bases thusly: God says, "And at what instant I shall speak concerning a nation [any nation], and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it; If it do evil in my sight, that it obey not my voice, then I will repent of the good, wherewith I said I would benefit them." Jer. 18:9-10. America has been planted and builded by God through our patriotic, God-fearing forefathers, but now we've rebelled against God's Word and are ripe for destruction.

A GREAT AMERICAN PATRIOT'S PROPHECY

A couple of centuries ago, one of our wisest founders of this republic made this true prophetic warning: "If we abide by the principles taught in our Holy Bible, our country will prosper, but if we in our posterity neglect the instructions and authority in this book, no man can tell how sudden a catastrophe may overtake us, and bury our glory in profound obscurity." -- Daniel Webster. Well, his posterity (this sick society) we're members of have neglected the authority and instructions of God's Word, the Holy Bible. Many commentators and educators have been denigrating this nation as being a post-Christian nation. Let me tell you, ladies and gentlemen, God Almighty built this nation, and God Almighty is beginning to judge and chasten this nation with His Four Sore Destructive Judgments of TERRORISM, Plagues, Divine Disasters, and Famine purported by cruel and unmerciful savages from the North country.

JESUS' APOSTLES PROPHESIED THE SAME

The Apostle of Jesus Christ sounds like an Old Testament prophet: "Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of in the prophets [of the O.T.]; Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe, though a man [a prophet] declare it unto you." Acts 13:40-41. The apostle quoted a prophecy from the Old Testament that God brought upon Israel, and the warning also applies to any or all rebellious nations where God's own people are also rebellious. Here it is: "Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvelously: for I

will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told you. For lo, I raise up the Chaldeans [formerly Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, and most of that area was Chaldea], that bitter and hasty nation, which shall march through the breadth of the land ... They are terrible and dreadful: their judgment and their dignity shall proceed of themselves. Their horses also are swifter than the leopards, and are more fierce than the evening wolves ... And they shall scoff at the kings, and the princes [nations' rulers] shall be a scorn unto them: they shall deride every strong hold [capitol city]; for they shall heap dust, and take it." Habakkuk 1:5-10. Terrorists all over the world are multiplying like locusts by the millions.

MUSLIM TERRORISM BROKEN

Only Almighty God can break the power of the militant Muslims. The prophetic scriptures of our Holy Bible reveal this mystery, and there is no other source, found in Ezekiel 38 & 39. The Muslim's hatred is primarily aimed at America, but forasmuch as we have the Atlantic Ocean as a barrier, their wrath and hatred will be directed at Israel, our closest friend and ally. Bible prophecy unveils a monstrous plot by the leader of Russia to mobilize a mighty army of Muslim militants and terrorists into the world's mightiest army to destroy Israel. And all the preparations are secretive, so much so, that the U.S., England, Israel and our allies, with their great intelligence gathering operations, are unaware of this mobilization.

"Thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech [Moscow] and Tubal ... and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords." Ezek. 38:3-4.

A MUSLIM ARMY

Continuing: "Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them ... Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee." Ezek. 38:5-6. Remember these names of different tribes and nations were their names when this prophecy was written. Persia, anciently, included nearly all the Middle East, and today the inhabitants are Muslims. Libya anciently was spread across North Africa and they are Muslim. Ethiopia once included the Sudan and they are mostly Muslim. The house of Togarmah was anciently part of Turkey, and they are Muslims. Russia hates Israel as much as the Arabs or Muslims do, so "Gog", the Russian leader seizes upon the opportunity to mobilize a hostile Muslim army with one objective -- destroy Israel.

FROM THE NORTH COUNTRY

"And thou [Gog] shalt come from thy place out of the north parts ... and a mighty army: And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days [our generation], and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes." Ezek. 38:15-16.

This Trojan Horse invasion will end in disaster for Gog and his Muslim hordes. Israel will not have to fight -- God will fight for them. God says, "And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee, and will cause thee to come up from the north parts, and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel ... Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel ... And it shall come to pass ... when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord God, that my fury shall come up in my face ... and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down ... and every wall

shall fall to the ground ... every man's sword shall be against his brother. And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him ... and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone ... And I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the Lord [and they'll know God did it]." Ezek. 39:2, 4; 38:18-23. This occurs seven years before the Battle of Armageddon.

One sixth of this Muslim army will escape to witness to the nations they are from that the God of Israel is God -- not Allah! And the militancy and terrorism of the Muslim world will be broken. But alas, this opens the door of opportunity for the Antichrist to rise to world power.

WHERE WAS ENGLAND AND THE U.S.?

Surprise, surprise to the U.S. and our allies. These nations only lodge a feeble protest thusly, "Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof" only asks, "why are you here" to Gog and his army. Ezek. 38:13. The "young lions" are offshoots of the British empire as are Tarshish, Sheba and Dedan -- these include the U.S. The U.S. military presence will soon be rejected by all other nations.

TERROR APPOINTED BY GOD

Ladies and gentlemen, don't limit God by your unbelief of True Bible Prophecy. God is beginning to break the PRIDE OF OUR POWER! What do you think the Twin Towers were symbolic of? Answer: The Pride of our Power -- Economically mainly, but also of our material prosperity and military power. All will soon be broken -- by Almighty God. He still rules this universe and nation, and you'd better believe it!

What will it take to break our pride, idolatry, and arrogance -- to get even "Christians" to walk the old sawdust trail down to the mourner's bench, and to old-fashioned repentance, to save us? Only God knows. God warns haughty Americans, "If ye will not hearken unto me, and will not do all these commandments ... I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you TERROR, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart ... And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass: And your strength shall be spent in vain ... [Then if these judgments of God don't humble your hearts] I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins." Lev. 26:14-21.

America, be sure your sins will find you out, God has warned. God has appointed TERRORISM to cause us sorrow of heart, and only a fool cannot discern this TRUTH.

GOD'S FOUR SORE JUDGMENTS

God's prophet cried out, "When thy [God's] judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness." Isa. 26:9.

Here is a more sobering warning from the Lord: "If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence [i.e., epidemic of incurable disease] among my people; if my people, which are called by my name, shall [1] humble themselves, [2] and pray, and [3] seek my face, and [4] turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." II Chron. 7:13-14.

When God's own people sin excessively and rebel excessively against His Word, God has always humbled their hearts and broken their pride with [1] Pestilence, [2] Divine Disasters, such as storms,

floods, drought, severe freezes, earthquakes, [3] food shortages, and [4] Terrorism. All these severe Divine Judgments are forecast for our endtime generation by Jesus Christ in Luke 17, Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21, that these will occur in an unprecedented fulfillment before His Return!

THE SEA & THE WAVES ARE ROARING

Jesus left this prophetic warning to us, as he was speaking to his 12 Apostles, to wit: "And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch." Mark 13:37.

And here is Christ's ultimate prophetic forecast: "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." Luke 21:25. This prophecy epitomizes two great prophetic fulfillments: Worldwide terrorism and violence, and devastating storms and hurricanes, causing destruction, death, and acute food shortages.

PANIC AMONG GOD'S PEOPLE

Extreme fear will soon produce panic and terror. Panic and shock will be commonplace even among God's people in the rising spiritual darkness and Gathering Storm in a magnitude indescribable -- upon Christians who are cold, lukewarm, and insensitive to these prophesies and warnings of the Holy Ghost. Most of God's saints are flirting with dangers that are deadly by listening to soothsaying preachers. Very soon, these will run panic-stricken about the land seeking the light of God's true word as the Gathering Storm and the rising spiritual darkness of TERROR begin to engulf them. A warning! God only gives these specific warnings and messages to His servants, the prophets. Amos 3:7, Eph. 3:5.

The shadows of this rising apocalyptic darkness are swiftly descending upon this generation. Man's ill-chosen course of seeking material prosperity, pleasure, and power is leading this whole generation squarely into the Gathering Storm -- God's terrible judgments! Right now we are in a spiritual twilight or semi-darkness. Worldwide terrorism, famine, great epidemics and earthquakes, terrible natural disasters, unprecedented moral degeneracy, a famine for hearing the true Word of God, the Antichrist, the false prophet, the great tribulation and Armageddon, all lie in the great spiritual darkness and storm into which we are now entering! We're on a collision course with disasters that are of a magnitude unprecedented in human history!

LOOK FOR A LIGHT

When a blackout occurs, especially in a crowded city, because of a power failure, what do people want most? Answer -- light! What does a sailor on a ship at sea engulfed in a dense fog or a violent storm look for most? Answer -- a lighthouse or beacon to give guidance into a safe harbor, a haven of rest! A lighthouse is a vital utility for safety to ships at sea -- a matter of life and death to those aboard the ships! This ministry and message, as a beacon and lighthouse, is vital to God's people sailing life's stormy seas -- and, the seas will soon be roaring with great violence as Jesus foretold us -- in the Gathering Storm!

A TRUE VOICE

God has established this ministry as a voice -- not an echo -- in the midst of the TERRORISM and storm so it will be recognized and trusted in the deafening fury and fear that is accompanying this sore

travail. God has commanded us, Lift up thy voice like a trumpet and show my people their transgression and the church their sins. Cf. Isa. 58:1.
