The Impending Computer Problem
The Flaming Sword Newsletter

June 1998
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ:
Much has happened since I wrote to you a month ago. The month of May was a “cliffhanger” for our ministry. For some reason, very little money came in the mail from the people normally supporting the radio ministry. I did run some very special radio programs on the “Millennium Bug,” and the response from the listeners was great. It is a long time since we had such a great response. But as we sent out the written report to the people requesting it over the telephone, very few responded back to us and helped us with the cost of just mailing it out, which came to several hundred dollars.
It was not until the very last week of May that God moved upon his people and the funds started to come in, which made it possible for us to pay the radio stations for air time used. Our radio bill per month is roughly $2,700.00. The last payment was sent off June first.
Please pray with us that the month of June will not be a “cliffhanger.”
During the month of May the World Government was very busy making new plans for the rest of the people living on this planet. On May 14-18, The Bilderbergers had their annual meeting held in the luxury resort Tumberry, Scotland, which is located some 55 miles from the city of Glasgow. As always, security was very tight, and despite the fact that this is supposed to be a very “private” meeting of “private” people, the British government furnished full security using British taxpayer’s money.
Attention this year was focused on globalization, which is the process of accelerating economic, technological, cultural and political integration of all nations into one global political giant, which translates to a World Government. Samuel (Sandy) Berger, White House National Security Adviser, and a regular at the Bilderberger meetings, who is also an American Jew, spoke to the Brooking Institute a few days prior to the meetings in Scotland, wherein he emphasized the need for a speedy globalization, and for the need to eliminate all opposition to this process.
Berger also criticized the American Congress for holding up $18 billion of American taxpayers money which the World Government wants Congress to hand over to the International Monetary Fund so that poor nations can be given this cash in order for them to repay the international bankers for loans that are unpaid. Nations like Russia, Indonesia, Thailand etc. that went into debt recklessly and now cannot pay back these bankers. Berger didn’t say a word about paying back the American taxpayer. World Government people do not understand such thinking. Banks are to be paid back but American taxpayers are to be fleeced forever.
It is interesting to note that immediately following the Bilderberger meetings, a summit was held in Birmingham, England, where the so called G-7 nations met. As you may recall from the news, Bill Clinton was at the meeting in Birmingham and received new marching orders which had been decreed at the Bilderbergers.
Another very interesting tidbit from the Bilderberger meetings is that the Republican Governor of New Jersey, Christine Todd Whitman, had received a personal invitation to attend the Bilderberger meetings in Scotland. The last time an American governor was invited was in 1991, when governor Bill Clinton received a personal invitation to attend that year’s Bilderberger meeting. Is it possible that the World Government is going to make the Republicans nominate their first female presidential candidate for the next election in the United States?
IS THERE GOING TO BE ANOTHER PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION IN THE U.S.?
There are very strong indications that if Bill Clinton can hang onto the presidency, that he or whoever is President in the fall of 1999, will declare a National Emergency, put us under Martial Law, suspend the Constitution and operate as a dictator. If you did not ask for the special report that we used for our radio programs last month, I urge you to contact us and ask for a copy. When I made the radio programs, I did not know the following fact.
FEMA ( Federal Emergency Management Agency), the agency that takes over every time there is a disaster in the United States is in the process of implementing some plans which they do not want the American people to know in advance. It is FEMA which has been operating the so called Black Helicopters for a number of years, including advance training with the American armed forces in attacking U.S. cities in mock battles and then setting up military rule. From a source that is working inside on a secret project, I have learned the following:
Due to the Millennium Bug, the Federal Government and all State and Local governments have known for some time that when year 2000 arrives, it will cause the total shut down of all sewer plants in the United States, including fresh water treatment plants. It will take only 3 days for the sewer systems in the cities to become full, back up and spew out raw sewage onto the streets. Just a few days of this, and a number of very contagious diseases will spread among the population, causing panic to break out.
Every major city in the United States is now working in secret on plans of how to cope with this problem. Underground tunnels have been or are being constructed right now in all major cities where local government teams under the dictatorship of FEMA will begin to operate at the end of 1999. These facilities will have food, water, shelter, electricity and will be totally self contained, including their own water supplies and sewage systems. These underground complexes will be guarded by special troops with orders to shoot to kill if anyone tries to enter them. It Is from these underground bunkers that the people will be controlled during this turbulent time.
People will be herded to special camps, already being set up, and according to sources inside the military, closed Army , Air Force and Navy bases will be used to detain people. Since prisons and jails cannot hold all the people that they foresee to riot, special concentrations camps will be or have already been constructed on closed military bases.
A number of special computer consultant firms have been contracted by the Federal Government to try to solve as many of the sewage plant problems as possible. It has been projected that only the largest cities will be given a chance to comply. Smaller cities will be abandoned.
When computer consultant companies are hiring people for this crash program to the tune of $5,000 a month while in training and then paying them fabulous salaries once they are trained, we should know that the nation is going to have some serious problems.
WHAT CAN YOU AND I DO?
If we are going to be accurate as far as the birth of Christ is concerned, understand this, our calendar is off between 7-9 years and we are already in year 2005 or 2007. Any encyclopedia will inform you of this. Just look up the word, “Calendar.”
The reason for our woes is that the programmers did not use four digits, when all the computer programs were written back in the sixties and on. Instead, they used only the last two digits. All computers are date sensitive, so will cease to function once we pass the last year for which they have been programmed (or 99).
Thirdly, it does not mean that Jesus is coming back just before all computers crash. It means that our society, which we are used to, will come to an end and since the political leaders who are in charge do not want to give up their positions, they will use Martial Law to keep control.
America can be likened to the ship Titanic, which left England only once and then sank. During the days it steamed on, before the collision with the iceberg, the people on board, were eating, drinking, dancing and corrupting themselves with their sins. Once disaster struck, the music and the dancing stopped and the party was over. Warnings were given to the captain of the Titanic, that icebergs were on the loose, but he ignored the warnings and paid the price — the ship was destroyed.
We have been given warnings that our ship is about to go down and if we are filled with the Holy Spirit, we should stop, pray and begin to fast and seek the Lord. How can we best use the 14 months we have left to serve Christ, to wake people up and seek God for a solution, instead of continuing the party? May God help us all to have a reality check, and mightily cry out to God, instead of always complaining and SEEKING more pleasures for the flesh.
Thank you for standing with us. My prayer is that together we shall be able to do a last effort of blowing the trumpet before the ship begins to sink. May God help us all.

Here it is, another new year which is called 1998. If we are going to be truthful to the birth of Jesus Christ, it is really between year 2005 to 2007. The reason behind this is that the calendars have been changed a number of times, and when changes were made, a mathematical error of 7 to 9 years occurred. It is also important to understand that, at the time of the birth of Jesus, the Roman Empire had its own calendar and that this calendar was not officially changed until around 325 after the birth of Jesus, when the State of Rome and Christianity were merged, Christianity became a state religion and the emperor Constantine also became the first pope.Flaming Sword Newsletter February 1998
This is the month that we are going to print another issue of The Dove. We have been working on this issue since August 1997 and I believe that the information we are going to print is of vital interest to all believers in Christ.There is no doubt in my mind that as we race toward the end times there is going to be a great failing away among Christians but they will not know that they are failing away. They will believe with all of their hearts they are really hearing from God and following men of God, when in reality they have been seduced by demons and led to the slaughter. We are warned about these times in II Thessalonians 2; I Timothy 4:1-3; II Timothy 3:1-13 and II Peter 2:1-3.

We are seeing a battle within the Jewish community which they call "Zipper Gate." Since the election of Netanyahu as the Israeli prime minister, a war has broken out in the Jewish world community. The Jewish rabbis in Israel, who control Judaism or who can be converted to Judaism, have been working to pass laws in Israel which would invalidate American Jews as being Jewish unless they convert and adhere to the strict laws of the fundamental rabbis in Israel. This has the American Jewish community in an uproar. American Jewish leaders like Edgar Bronfman and others have cut off funds going to Israel and are threatening to put a total squeeze on funds from the United States. President Clinton sided with the American Jews and when Netanyahu came to the United States for a visit in 1997, Clinton snubbed the prime minister and would not see him despite that both men were in Los Angeles at the same time.Flaming Sword Newsletter April 1998
During the last ten months, the United States has experienced two tragic incidents in public schools, wherein children brought guns to their schools and murdered a number of their fellow students. This last killing in Jonesboro, Arkansas, has brought agony to people everywhere. How could two boys, 13 and 11 years old, commit such heinous crimes? And this did not take place in some large city, but in a small rural town where we thought things like this could not happen. As I have followed the news and heard the questions raised by news commentators, from parents and from children, I also began to think about it. How can this be explained? A few days ago I heard the Holy Spirit speaking to me and the answer He gave me was a chilling answer: "These people who are murdering in this fashion are all driven by the spirit of offense."Flaming Sword Newsletter May 1998
As we edge closer and closer to the year 2000, with some 600 days left to go, it has become more and more clear to me that there will be drastic changes in the United States and also in the rest of the world. At first I did not take the computer date problem too seriously, I simply believed that with the tremendous technology that we have today, someone could write a program that would fix the problem. Then our Bible teacher and computer expert Michael Blair, educated me and showed me why it was impossible to write such a program and that it would take years to bring all major computer systems to the level where they would be able to accept four digits to correctly indicate a designated year. Currently, the old programs are designed to take only two digits, which will make a difference when we roll over from year 1999 to 2000.Flaming Sword Newsletter June 1998

Anyone opposing the forces of the Antichrist will experience the wrath of the Devil as outlined in Revelation, Chapter 12. What American would have thought that the United States Post Office would be used as a weapon to destroy a Christian ministry which is opposing a decadent and sinful President of the United States? My only comment is, PREPARE FOR A WILD RIDE BEFORE IT IS ALL OVER! The good news is, Satan is going to lose this round, but we have a whole lot of [spiritual] fighting left before we are going to see Jesus.Flaming Sword Newsletter January 2001
For the last year I have been studying, thinking about and praying an what is going to happen at Year 2000 concerning the computer problems facing us on this earth. We had one seminar and I spoke on the subject one, Wednesday night in the church where I am the pastor, but this week it has become clear to me that I have to address the entire congregation of the Resurrection Life of Jesus Church. After reading a number of reports, discussing the subject with people working inside the computer industry and also receiving information from sources within government circles, it is now clear to me that the world is facing a crisis unlike anything since World War II. The crisis that we are facing is going to be two-faced, it will affect our financial institutions and our daily living conditions. In my message (RLJ-626 Transcript) I am going to look at these situations and investigate how it will affect our Christian lives and our daily living. What can we do to prepare for it? Is it possible to prepare?Flaming Sword Newsletter September 1998
As I wrote in my August newsletter the battle over the control of the White House was going to be settled. On August 17, Clinton was backed into a corner from which he was not able to extricate himself as he testified before the Grand Jury in Washington D.C. The evidence against Clinton was overwhelming, and he was forced to acknowledge to the Grand Jury that he had been sexually involved with Monica Lewinsky for a period of some 17 months. The Secret Service records and agents with others testified to the fact that Clinton and Lewinsky had met often and alone for long periods of time. That evening Clinton went on national television and told the American people and the world that he had lied, although his speech writers had carefully crafted a speech that made him say he had misled the American people and his own staff. Instead of saying that he was asking for forgiveness, he used the word "regret."Flaming Sword Newsletter October 1998
There is a conspiracy between President Clinton and the Congress to fool the American people into thinking that the American economy is in an unstoppable growth pattern, despite the fact that the economy is in shambles in Asia and Russia has no economy at all. On September 30,1998, President Clinton went on public TV and gloated over the $70 billion budget surplus for which he was taking credit. Just a few days earlier, the Republicans legislated new tax cuts to spend the budget surplus. My question is this, Is there a budget surplus? The answer is no! If I ran my personal finances the way the American Government runs the nation, I would eventually end up in total bankruptcy. If I, as an individual, would neglect my debts and simply stop paying them, while continuing to borrow more money without paying it off, I would also show a surplus at the end of each month.Flaming Sword Newsletter November 1998
America can currently be compared to life on a farm, where the rooster stands proud on the dung hill, crowing about how great he is and that his accomplishments are fabulous. America is the dung hill, the rooster is Bill Clinton who is now gloating over the results of the national election. He does not understand that in the eyes of God he is a lying, cheating adulterer living a perverted life. The American people knew all this about Clinton, but they love this man because perverted people do not want to have righteous men to rule over them; they want rulers with reprobate minds who are as vile and filthy as they are themselves. I do not imply that God is a Republican; he does not take on any role like that; God is a righteous God who demands holiness from people. But men who are not saved and washed in the blood of Jesus cannot be holy. The Bible tells us that man’s righteousness is as filthy rags. (Isaiah 64:6) But that does not give man the license to sin and mock God.Flaming Sword Newsletter December 1998
God spoke some 550 years before Christ through the prophet Daniel, that in the last days in the history of the earth, there would be a world dictator ruling a world federation. (Daniel 11:31-39). This was confirmed by Jesus who spoke about "the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel," and the great tribulation. (Matthew 24:15-22) The apostle Paul gave us more detailed information about this world ruler, and how this "Wicked Man, the Son of Perdition," shall not only rule the world, but deceive people on a scale that the world has never seen before. (II Thessalonians 2:1-12) It is the risen Christ who in 90 AD took the apostle John in the spirit into heaven itself and showed him the great revelation of Jesus Christ, which was written down and became the last book in the Bible. In Chapter 13 of the book of Revelation, we are given chilling details of this kingdom of darkness and how it will control all buying and selling on the earth by introducing the "MARK OF THE BEAST." (Revelation 13:1-18).You can use PayPal to make a donation or send a check in the mail. One time donations help temporarily but we need friends who will commit to giving regularly.
