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.

 [Note: If you are confused about God and the Bible because of evolutionary ideas may we suggest that you go to the question and answers web page of the organisation called Answers in Genesis, http://www.answersingenesis.org

Or click here for a brief 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.

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.
