Bible Prophecy -
Revelation's Most Urgent Health Warning!
The most urgent health warning
ever given is found in a passage of Bible prophecy from the book of Revelation.
Yes, I am serious in saying this. Dear reader, this warning is for you and all
who are dear to you. I believe that you will agree if you keep reading. I did
not originate this warning: It is understood through a study of the books of
Daniel and Revelation.
Bible Prophecy
Revelation's Most Urgent Health Warning!
STORY
Let's imagine that you were in Hilo, Hawaii on the night of May 23rd 1960.
You are awakened from sleep by the sound of warning sirens. You have heard
the sirens before and know what they mean -- a tidal wave or tsunami warning.
So you slip out of bed and turn on the radio. Adjusting the radio to the local
station you have your suspicions confirmed. An earthquake has occurred in
Chile and a tidal wave has been generated. It is moving across the Pacific
Ocean in your direction at approximately 450 miles (720 km) per hour. You have
three hours and 15 minutes to evacuate to higher ground.
Because you live in Hawaii tidal wave warnings are relatively common. So now
your mind starts to reason: "Not another tidal wave warning! We've had lots of
tidal wave alerts over the last few years and none of them have amounted to
very much. Probably this is just another false alarm. Why go to all the
trouble of getting dressed and leaving home in the middle of the night?"
"But the sirens do mean something. Maybe this wave will be a bad one. I'd
better play safe." So you get dressed and get into your car. There are two
hours to go. You notice your neighbour has the lights in his house on but that
nobody seems to be getting ready to evacuate. The sirens are still shrieking.
You jump out of your car and knock on their door. Your friend Bill opens the
door and you say "I'm going to the High School on the hill. Aren't you going
to clear out?" Bill answers, "Don't get too excited. It's just another
over-rated alarm. I'm heading back to bed and you should too. Want to borrow
some ear-plugs?" You can't convince him so feeling somewhat confused you get
back into your car and join the other vehicles heading for the hill.
The three hours and 15 minutes of evacuation time are drawing to a close. You
are standing by your car with the other people on the hill when the sirens
suddenly stop. It is deathly quiet. Then in the distance you hear it. A faint
rumbling, almost inaudible at first. The noise increases and suddenly you see
the wave -- a 30 foot high wall of water traveling at the speed of a jet
plane. It crashes over the sea wall. Houses, shops and buildings collapse in
an instant. All screams of terror are swallowed up in the roaring, foaming
billows. Then as suddenly as it came the surging water is gone and the ocean
breaks calmly against the battered shoreline.
The clean-up operation began in the morning. The bodies of 78 people were
found in the ruins. These were people who knew about the warning, but like
Bill were indifferent and careless.4
Jesus warns us of cataclysmic events to be associated with His coming. Why are
these things coming? What should we do? If you prayerfully study this web site
these questions will be answered for you.
Health is our most important treasure. My mother
once asked me, "What is the thing you would like most for your son when he grows
up?" After thinking for awhile I answered, "The best health possible:
physically, mentally, spiritually, and socially". I have also heard the story of
a very wealthy man who became seriously ill. He said to his friend, "I would
give away all the money I own to have the health you've got!"
Health is more than just physical fitness. It
includes the mind, the social aspects of life and the spiritual dimension. This
most urgent health warning involves all areas of health. It particularly
emphasizes spiritual health but also focuses on an aspect of social well being
we might call "civil health". By civil health I refer to the way that
governments and state authorities relate to the personal civil liberties of
their subjects. A great health crisis is coming upon the world in the near
future. No one can say exactly when this crisis will break upon the world. All
that can be deduced from the available facts is that the world is ripe for it to
happen any time now. No one will be exempt.
If you read this web site you
will learn about:
1. How the crisis will affect our social
health. Our personal civil liberties will
be severely compromised. Soon our rights of conscience will be trampled on in a
most unusual manner. No one will be exempt.
2. How this crisis will affect our spiritual
health. The global crisis will force us
to make a decision about whom we will worship. Yes, strange as it may sound,
this will affect everyone. True, some will make a decision purely on the basis
of convenience. But which decision we make will dramatically affect our health
and life.
3. How this crisis could affect our mental
health. Those who make the wrong
decisions in the crisis are described as having "no rest [of mind] day nor
night".1
4. How this crisis could affect our physical
health. Those who make the wrong decision
in the crisis are described as getting "a noisome [injurious] and grievous [bad,
diseased] sore" "and they gnawed their tongues for pain."2
Actually, there is worse than this too but I won't mention it until the relevant
part of this web site.
If you read this web site you
will also find out about:
5.
How to be prepared for the above issues. How to cope with the infringement
of civil rights. How to make the right decisions in order to escape the health
disaster.
6. How current events are fulfilling Bible
prophecy. These current events suggest
that this health crisis is very imminent.

God and the Bible because of evolutionary ideas may we suggest that you go to

discussion on this site.
7.
An extremely subtle, worldwide deception that will lead the unprepared to
make the wrong decisions in the above time of crisis.
I am sure that this will sound unbelievable to
many. A warning was given and not
believed and the bombs fell on Pearl Harbour. A warning was given and not
believed and a volcano destroyed Pompeii. A warning was given and not believed
and the Titanic sank. A warning was given and not believed and the world was
destroyed by a flood...But usually some believed and so were saved.
In addition you will find out
about:
8.
How to have peace, hope and joy instead of guilt, hopelessness and worry.
9.
How to make meaning and sense out of a world full of confusion, problems and
pain.
10. Medical articles
such as
Tips for health & Happiness.
This article focuses on personal tips for better mental, physical and social
health. As a medical doctor I spend large
amounts of time trying to help people enjoy the best possible all-round health. To understand and appreciate a warning message, it is
a marvelous help to have a clear mind and a healthy body. Also included are
several pages on Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Fibromyalgia, a special interest area
of mine - and a modern epidemic (See
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/ME/Fibromyalgia
- Questions & answers).
As I said, I did not originate this warning.
Neither am I the only one trying to draw people's attention to it. I am only
trying to help people know about it and what it means. God is the One who has
given the warning. The message itself is found in the world's best-selling book,
the Holy Bible. It is found in the last book of the Bible, the book of
Revelation. The warning is directed especially at our generation. Every
reasoning person on planet Earth needs to know about this health warning.
Have you ever heard the phrase "the elixir of
eternal life"? Many films, stories and religions have focused on this apparently
elusive goal -- to have the elixir of eternal life. Humans, as long as their
health is okay, have a longing to live forever. This longing seems natural, as
if we were all made with this desire. As if death was some kind of unwelcome
thief ready to intrude into our lives. It may surprise you, but we were
made to live forever -- death is something we were not supposed to suffer. How
do we know this? Because it says it in the Bible. This may seem too simplistic.
Yet, if we read the Bible humbly, sincerely seeking to know the truth, we will
find that it is reliable. Its promises are tried and true. Its prophecies
(as you will find out if you keep reading this web site) are accurate and reveal
God's divine hand. But there is more. The good news is that there is
a genuine elixir of eternal life. Any others are counterfeits or just
dreams. The genuine elixir of eternal youth is freely available. What is this
elixir? It is described clearly in the Bible in the sixth chapter of the Gospel
of John and it is explained in this web site.
This most urgent health message is about gaining
or losing this elixir of eternal life. This means gaining or losing an eternal
life of perfect health physically, mentally, socially, and spiritually. The
warning message itself is found in the 14th chapter of the book of Revelation.
It is a warning given by the Heavenly Father to His earthly children in infinite
love. It is a message revealing truth, exposing deception and pleading with us
to make the right choices and avoid fatal error. To understand it properly you
will need to invest some time and become acquainted with the books of Daniel and
Revelation. These are two closely related books in the Bible dealing with the
same global issues. These two books give the context in which this most urgent
health warning is to be understood. They make very fascinating reading and they
have a direct bearing on our lives and health. The entire book of Daniel or
Revelation can easily be read in a couple of one-hour sessions. This web site
contains a brief introduction to Daniel and to Revelation.

We all need to understand
this most urgent health message.
It is for all "them that dwell on the earth"3.
There is a great health crisis coming upon planet Earth and no one will be
exempt from its impact. Our whole way of living will soon be radically
changed forever. We need to make the right health choices. So we
plead with you, for your health's sake, to take time out from your busy
schedule to study and pay attention to this health warning sent in love
from God.
The aim of this web site is
to promote health by presenting and explaining a warning. I have no other
agendas. What you do with its message is between you and God. My earnest
hope and prayer for you is that you will have total health -- forever.
There is only one way to get it.
Please pay attention to this health
warning!

For
those who have doubts about the Bible...
The Holy Scriptures are
reliable and can be trusted, but sadly, many have doubts. So we will
briefly consider this issue in the hope that many will have their faith
strengthened. This book contains vital messages that are challenging and
even provocative and only those who are convinced of the Bible’s
authority will receive and benefit from them.
Some doubt the Bible’s
accuracy because of the theory of evolution. Often they do not realize
that evolution and science are different things. Science is based on
experiments and observation and, since history is not available for these,
science cannot prove historical beginnings. Both evolution and creation
are beliefs based on "evidence". The science that investigates
the laws of nature and that uses them to achieve space travel is very
different from evolutionary theories about the past. Many scientists who
discovered natural laws were creationists (e.g. Isaac Newton).
Scientists need the Bible
to correctly interpret the world. This is because we all have an inherent
defect preventing us from perceiving things correctly without divine aid
(Jeremiah 17:9). Thus we should interpret the world around us through the
window provided by scripture. If we try and interpret the Bible using
science or human theories we will always run into problems.
Many have tried to use
evolution to interpret the book of Genesis. They claim that the Earth
wasn’t created in six literal days since evolution says it took billions
of years. But the whole Bible is destroyed by this denial of Genesis
because there can be no sin problem if millions of years of death and
suffering preceded Adam. The Bible teaches that it was Adam’s sin that
brought death into the world. If there is no sin problem then there is no
Savior because sin is what Jesus came to save us from (Matthew 1:21). Appendix
Thirteen discusses common myths used to deny that the days of
Genesis 1 are literal days. It also answers common questions relating to
evolution like "How did the animals fit on Noah’s ark?" and
"Who was Cain’s wife?"
There are many reasons to
doubt evolution. Mutations are almost always negative and, at best,
neutral. They don’t provide a mechanism for adding more advanced
information. Natural selection causes a decrease in genetic material.
Organisms need multiple complex molecules and structures to be present
simultaneously to function properly (e.g. consider the eye) and anything
less is a hindrance. But how can complex interrelations evolve
simultaneously?
Those who believe in
evolution have no basis for moral law other than consensus. If the
majority decides that a certain group is hindering advancement, then,
according to evolutionary theory, there is no logical reason to oppose
killing them. You might not like it, but that’s just your opinion
(consider the "holocaust" under Hitler’s reign).
Some people doubt the Bible
because they do not believe in absolute truth. But if there is no reliable
truth then there is no stable natural law either. Gravity is a reliable
truth. So are the laws of electricity, temperature etc. Without these laws
life would not exist. Just as there are natural laws that are truth, so
there are spiritual laws that are truth.
The Bible can be trusted to
teach spiritual truth. It has many prophecies that have been dramatically
fulfilled. Its sixty-six books have a wonderful harmony, though
communicated through dozens of men over some 1600 years. It has lifted
whole nations and initiated untold thousands of transformations from guilt
and misery to victory and happiness. It has withstood centuries of attack.
It reveals a full and complete Savior, the answer to the deepest human
need. We commend it to you as an infallible guide.
