The Trouble with Angels
Angels and angel stories pre-date the oldest Hebrew texts of the bible. The Sumerians, who pre-date ancient Egyptian society, was the most ancient civilization to depict winged humans in their carvings and statues. The Sumerians tell the oldest known angel stories of “messengers of the gods” who would intervene between the “gods” and men. Angel s ... Read - Full Text

Professor Otto Rossler, a German chemist at the Eberhard Karls University of Tubingen has filed suit with the European Court of Human Rights, hoping to gain an injunction that will prevent the switching on of the Large Hadron Reactor on Wednesday.

Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice went on record over the weekend citing Barack Obama's 'incredible accomplishment' in becoming the nation's first black major-party presidential nominee. "I think it's great, and I think it's great for our country," Rice said of Obama's candidacy. Secretary Rice noted that Colin Powell was the first black person to be A ... Read - Full Text

According to Scripture, there are at least two remaining Dispensations of God between now and the destruction of universe and its replacement with the ‘new heavens’ and ‘new earth’ described by the Apostle Peter. “But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noi ...

Democrats Complain: "Appeasement Is a Synonym For Democrat!"
President Bush used a speech to the Israeli parliament on Thursday to liken those who would negotiate with "terrorists and radicals" to those who appeased the Nazis in the months before the outbreak of World War II.

Not That It Matters . . .
Up until 2003, the general consensus among Western intelligence agencies was that Saddam surrounded himself with 'yes-men' who told him what he wanted to hear and misled him into believing he had stockpiles of non-existent weapons. On October 7, 2004 your Omega Letter told you that: "they got the situation exactly backwards. It was Saddam who ... Read - Full Text

The Mighty Men of Renown
The base of the Great Pyramid of Cheops in Egypt was, according to most estimates, built sometime between 2589 and 2566 BC. According to the great Bible chronologists of history, like H. H. Halley (Halley's Bible Handbook) Archbishop Ussher (Ussher's Chronology) and Clarence Larkin, that means that the Great Pyramid was built about two hundred ... Read - Full Text

Special Report: "The Prize"
When somebody dies, it is always an occasion for grief, even among Christians. I know, I know. When a Christian dies, he goes home to be with the Lord, it is cause for celebration, his suffering is past, and all that. But I've been a Christian for more than half my life, and in that time, many of my loved ones have gone home to be with th ... Read - Full Text

No Hens in the Fox House
Two weeks ago, the FCC approved a highly controversial proposal to change FCC ownership rules to allow broadcasters in the nation's twenty largest media markets to also own newspapers.

During the period of Christian persecution under the Romans, Christians were thrown to the lions, burned at the stake, beheaded or otherwise dispatched to heaven because they were judged to be guilty of hate crimes.

What is 'death'? What happens to us when we draw our last breath and leave this earth? Is it the end? The beginning? Do we immediately go from this life to the next?

Forty years ago, on June 7, 1967, Israeli Defense Forces captured East Jerusalem from the Jordanians at the conclusion of the Six Days War. I don't want you to miss the significance of this event.
