When you were young, did you ever make a mistake and your father would call you in, tell you that you did something wrong, then give you another chance?

Well, I have something exciting I want to share with you that's also about second chances. It involves some events that have already taken place, as well as others which will occur shortly. These are events that you might find very hard to accept without question. But, because you are interested in discovering all you can about Eschatology (the study of the End Times) you are probably more than ready for what you are about to read.

This event may seem very insignificant to some but in May 1998 Galaxy 4 (G4) a communication satellite left it's assigned geosynchronous orbit some 23,000 miles above the United States and tumbled helplessly into deep space. This minor event created chaos throughout the United States until Pan Am Sat could position a back up satellite in its place. Pagers failed to communicate leaving hospitals helpless to contact doctors for instructions on patient treatment. Gas pump purchases were denied by credit card since all communication was lost with the satellite. Many of us never paid attention to this event if we weren't directly affected by it but be advised, there is a strong possibility that more chaos lies in the near future with our fragile satellite belt. On November 17th of this year the earth will pass through the Leonid Meteorite Belt, a debris trail left by the Comet Temple Tuttle, and will pepper the satellites of which 500 encircle the globe. Forty four of them are positioned over the United States which are relied upon every second of the day for communication, bank transactions, television programming and our defense network. This meteorite shower may contain many different sizes of particles, some as small as a grain of sand. At the height of the meteorite shower as many as 100 meteorites per second will be seen and last for approximately 90 minutes. The last Leonide meteorite shower was 33 years ago and our prescence in space was very limited to only a few satellites. Remember, in space there is no gravity or friction to slow the particles down that are traveling at 17,000 miles per hour. Upon contact with another object they will pass through it like it was never there. If there is no concern by the agencies that control these satellites, then why was a conference convened on April 27th to discuss the problem? "We were caught totally off guard", said one of the attedees. Preparations are being made now to turn Hubble away from the shower to protect its delicate lense. This very scenario of space collision has already happened in our time as you are about to read about Cosmos 954.

In January 1978 an event took place in outer space that could have destroyed several cities in the United States. That was when the Russian Killer Satellite, Cosmos 954 by name, blew up over Great Slave Lake, Canada, with 68 pounds of Uranium-235 aboard. Cosmos 954 vaporized, with parts of it also falling into the Atlantic Ocean just off the coast of Jupiter, Florida.

With the vaporization of Cosmos 954, the Lord, speaking through a prophet, said He was giving the people of Planet Earth a second chance. Now more than ever, there is POTENTIAL for a nuclear space disaster that could be greater than Cosmos 954. That's why groups are speaking out against such NASA launches such as Cassini.

Cassini was the U.S. satellite NASA put in orbit back in October 1997. It carried 72.3 pounds of plutonium; perhaps the most deadly source of energy in the universe. Many opponents to the launch even claimed just one pound of plutonium could wipe out the planet. As a matter of fact, one millionth of a gram can cause fatal cancer. If inhaled, it can cause leukemia, bone cancer and lung cancer.

You say that Cassini was successfully launched on Oct. 15, 1997, and it's well on its way toward Saturn and its moons, where it is scheduled to arrive by July 2004. So, what's the big deal? Three reasons make it a big deal. One, before it heads out into deep space, it must "slingshot" past Earth again and something could go wrong. It could become another Cosmos 954.

Two, there was increased concern expressed when Cassini was launched, because there had already been nine accidents involving radioactive material during space flight.

Three, Cassini is one more example of the U.S. government not being completely honest with the public. To be more precise, the American public is sometimes completely misinformed and the truth is often hidden.

The real reason for Cassini and the importance of the launch, and one which President Clinton hasn't the courage to tell the American public, is that the Russians still have the ability, by virtue of their killer satellites, to demolish our military navigational apparatus in space.

One theory is that the Department of Defense wants to launch nuclear weapons into space in order to take over the planet, and it's important to get the public accustomed to the idea of nuclear power being used in space. So, if it happens more frequently, the public will simply grow complacent and disinterested and won't be paying attention when something deadly really happens.

Are you interested yet? Are you saying, this must be something from a novel? That may be going through your mind. Just remember, what you are about to read really happened.

Cassini is the most recent episode, but it's just one facet of this article which may read more like a novel. Remember also that truth is often more frightening than any fiction could possibly be. The plot of this real-life adventure novel involves several Presidents of the United States and Russian leaders, the Russian Killer Satellite Cosmos 954, a clandestine mission called "Operation Morning Light," and a meteor flung by the Great Hand of God to save Washington D.C.

This situation is similar to the Star of Bethlehem. The "Bethlehem Star" of Cosmos 954 led a modern-day prophet, Fr. Haralambos, to the Atlantic shores near Jupiter, Florida. It's not a coincidence that parts of Cosmos 954 also led Fr. Haralambos to this very shore. That's also where he calculates the current resting place of a life-size, solid gold statue of the Madonna and Christ Child, which has been at the bottom of the ocean, deep in sand, for more than 300 years. The statue, according to Fr. Haralambos, is near where parts of Cosmos 954 landed. Does the Bethlehem Star leading the Wisemen to the Madonna and Christ-child sound familiar?

But let's back up and start at the very beginning, which as anyone will tell you, is a very good place to start. Get ready to flip the calendar back to 1977. That's when President Jimmy Carter was in the White House, the USSR was our enemy and we were on the verge of World War III, and the American public didn't even know it. If it hadn't been for the Hand of God, all manner of destruction would have taken place and Washington, D.C. and its inhabitants would have been completely wiped out.

The Russian Cosmos Satellite 954 had been launched Sept. 18, 1977, and was continuing its orbit approximately 150 miles above Earth. Its initial orbit was from east to west, but as it changed its tract it eventually became southwest to northeast. NORAD detected problems that existed within Russian Cosmos Satellite 954 and reported it to the U.S. Security Advisor in December 1977. The Russian scientists tried to gain control until a few weeks passed, then, suddenly, total decompression occurred to the spy satellite. All the on-board systems went out of operation. The satellite lost its orientation and began its descent early on Friday, Jan. 20, 1978. Attempts to abort were to no avail.

That's when the Lord spared us -- on Jan. 24, 1978 -- with His "Space Grace". The meteor that collided with Cosmos 954 proved that God wasn't ready for World War III to begin. That was an event that surely would have happened, had Cosmos 954 exploded over Washington, D.C. Instead, God, like an invisible pitcher, used a meteor and threw a perfect strike at Cosmos 954, sending it spiraling less harmfully to the barren wastelands of Canada and the waters of the Atlantic Ocean, near Jupiter, Florida.

"Space Grace" is referred to in Ezra 9, Verse 8:

The Russian Killer Satellite Cosmos 954 fell from the atmosphere, completely out of control. The nation's NORAD detected the problem with the satellite, and as it continued to fall, it collided with a meteorite. The meteorite was thrown by the Hand of God, unless you believe that chance collisions in space are common, and would rather deny God's divine means of intervention. Following the collision, fragments of the satellite fell across the Great Slave Lake in Canada; others into the Atlantic Ocean. The fragments were a melding together of meteorite and satellite.

Like one of the Wisemen following the Star of Bethlehem, Fr. Haralambos, tracked the results of the collision, and found pieces of the meteorite and satellite. In gathering them up, Fr. Haralambos was also contaminated by them. So much so that he set off the alarms when he went through a radioactive checkpoint at a power plant near Nettles Island, which is close to Stuart, Florida, just north of Jupiter. That's when personnel at the power plant site cried out, "He's hot! He's hot!"

In previous publications, Fr. Haralambos explains the sudden change of events are as follows: "A large, natural meteor of physical mass greater than the Russian spy satellite collided with it and because of kinetic energy, sending the fragmented vehicle on an even more erratic, unpredictable decent. Due to the larger mass and higher velocity of the natural meteorite, a space collision impact, some fragmented particles of the Russian satellite were carried with the descent of the meteor into the Earth's atmosphere." The official Russian News Agency Tass announced that the built-in self-destruct system had activated. "It has ceased to exist," Tass reported.

That proved to be false. NORAD reported 5,000 observations of Cosmos 954, as well as resulting analysis by their computers around the world of the subsequent Killer Satellite's last three days of orbiting.

Fr. Haralambos published this statement: "I am convinced the natural meteorite, in a southwest to northeast descent, had entered the atmosphere in a trajectory carrying it to an Atlantic Ocean impact site within three-mile limits east of Jupiter. This happened Friday, 10:15 a.m., Jan. 20, 1978. Particles of considerable size of both the natural meteor and Cosmos 954 were in the sea. Three and a half days later, after orbiting closer and closer, the radioactive portion of Cosmos 954 entered the Earth's atmosphere on its southwest to northeast trajectory and many particles of the vehicle made impact Jan. 24 at 6:53 p.m. EST on a 450-mile long, 30-mile wide 'corridor' near Yellow Knife, Canada, around Lake Great Slave. Both earth impact sites belong to the same space collision of a natural meteor and a man-made rocket satellite."

Support for Fr. Haralambos' statements appeared in the "Palm Beach Post" in 1979 when Jay Solomon, General Services Administration (GSA) addressed the Forum Club regarding Cosmos 954. "For 10 days," he said, "we were sweating it out. No one knew where it was going to fall and the supposition was, it was going to fall on the City of Washington. Few people knew. The information didn't get out. It was a highly secret document."

Solomon said the GSA's Federal Preparedness Agency made plans to evacuate President Carter and other key officials in order to assure the continuity of government in an emergency. What wasn't stated, but something which has never been denied, was that it would have been no accident had the satellite fallen on Washington, D.C. It had been planned all along.

Will events repeat themselves? Will President Clinton cover it up like Carter did Cosmos 954? One thing we all know, is that the truth shall prevail. Could Cassini be the next millenium's Wormwood? Wormwood, which is spelled out in Revelation, refers to turning bitter a third of the waters of the world.

If President Carter had listened to Fr. Haralambos back in 1978 and the President had told the American people the truth, would there have been a need for Cassini? Fr. Haralambos wrote to President Clinton in October 1997, "I am writing you as an American citizen concerned by the ignorance and lack of public information being released by our military and agencies on the real reasons, and importance of the upcoming launch of Cassini, conducted by NASA."

In the letter, Fr. Haralambos added, "Please release the truth of the need for the Cassini launch, even though there are risks. Avoiding this plea will only fuel the concerns and apprehension of Americans. The Russians still have the ability by killer satellites to demolish our military navigational apparatus in space. Please tell it to all of us. Other advice will only bring you being criticized by historians in this matter."

In that same letter to President Clinton, Fr. Haralambos enclosed copies of information dating back to the 1978 Russian Killer Satellite Cosmos 954 incident. Fr. Haralambos told President Clinton, "I was personally involved and received radioactivity from fragments that were recovered at Jupiter, Florida. I am healthy today, by God's hand, yet am very concerned the public does not know that our National Security is at stake." He added, "The Russians started 'Space Intrusion' of Uranium 235, plutonium materials, as fuel. In my documented booklet, 'God's Ocean,' information substantiates President Carter's objections, publicly to the Russian government about nuclear materials in space. 'Operation Morning Light' does admit to the incident of contamination on Canadian soil (by Cosmos 954). My book proves we had contamination on American soil. The government admitted to evacuation of President Carter and the Cabinet to Camp David, and had tentative plans if the NORAD calculations manifested of fissionable materials on Washington, D.C., and New York. A miracle happened to save America at that time. The American public was totally misinformed, and denied the real truth, in this episode."

After Fr. Haralambos wrote a letter to President Clinton about Cassini, the Cassini Project received attention from the President. In fact, a letter, dated Dec. 6, 1997, was sent to Fr. Haralambos by Earle K. Huckins III, Deputy Associate Administrator for Space Science, the person at NASA in charge of the Cassini mission.

Huckins stated, "I must emphasize that NASA places the highest priority on assuring the safe use of radioactive materials in space. A number of previous and successful NASA missions such as Pioneer, Viking, Voyager, Galileo, and Ulysses utilized instruments powered by nuclear power sources called Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generators (RTGs). RTGs convert the heat from the decay of plutonium directly to electricity for use by a spacecraft and its instruments. Because it is recognized that accidents can happen, the RTGs used by U.S. spacecraft have been designed by the Department of Energy to contain their plutonium dioxide in a wide range of launch and orbital reentry accidents."

Neither President Clinton nor Huckins refuted or disagreed with any of the information Fr. Haralambos provided in his packet of information, which included references to the Russian Killer Satellite Cosmos 954. Fr. Haralambos included a great deal of details in his letter. For instance, he provided detailed information about "Operation Morning Light," which related to the contamination on Canadian soil of Cosmos 954 and the evacuation of President Carter and his Cabinet to Camp David.

In that letter to President Clinton, Fr. Haralambos also included a copy of the letter he sent to President Carter on Jan. 23, 1978. In that letter, he mentioned God's miracle of Cosmos 954, which caused a meteor to crash into Cosmos 954, sending its deadly contents to the sparsely inhabited location near Yellow Knife, Canada, and Jupiter, Florida.

In the Jan. 23, 1978, letter, Fr. Haralambos told President Carter: "My purpose for writing you is, I trust, to document my finding of the meteor, in the name of the Lord, to help science, not in the name of science. I need your protection and the protection of the Federal Government to help recover all the material that I alone know and now, as well as you, the location. It was a total inspiration from our God to guide me to it. I, without any doubt, know the Lord wants people to know He is still working very hard to gain believers in Him and His creation."

President Carter forwarded Fr. Haralambos' letter to NASA, and O.B. Lloyd Jr. finally responded March 7, 1978. "Your letter to the President relating to the object which crashed into the Atlantic off the Palm Beaches, has been referred to this office," Lloyd wrote. "We note in the 'Palm Beach Post' clipping that the Smithsonian Institution here is aware of the incident. I am sure the Smithsonian authorities, to whom such natural phenomena is normally reported, have the matter under advisement. Thank you for taking time to write."

In a 1982 edition of "God's Ocean," Fr. Haralambos wrote an addendum to Lloyd's letter. "How NASA came to the conclusion that the Smithsonian was the agency for national security, I'll never know." Nevertheless, Fr. Haralambos personally contacted Roy Clarke Jr., the head of the Division of Meteorites. Following that exchange, Fr. Haralambos wrote, "The interesting part of my conversation with Mr. Clarke was how elated I was at an interference from The Deity in the matter, using a meteor. His visual observations (not scientific analysis) without spectrographic electronics resulted in stuttering of which I have never heard before. It was caused when I mentioned the Lord. That very same day, he was releasing to the press, the printed article entitled, 'How the Universe was Formed.' Ironic? All this on Feb. 16, 1978."

It should be noted here that Daniel of the Old Testament was the advisor to King Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon. King Nebuchadnezzar was the President Clinton of his day. It might also be added that the United States is the Babylon of today. The following are the prophetic words of Daniel, as God spoke to him in Daniel Chapter 12, Verses 4-9:

Could a modern-day prophet be telling the President today of God's messages? We are nearing the time when the seals will be broken and the contents of the book shall be revealed unto the wise, those who have understanding, but the wicked shall not have understanding.

It is a fact that on two separate occasions the Russian government has admitted that two of its satellites were in a position to decay into the world's atmosphere. One of them was a killer satellite containing at least 100 pounds of deadly Uranium 235. The other decayed without personal observation or inspection. Both the United States and Soviet Union were in open dialogue about these events before the rest of the world knew anything about them.

When playing cat and mouse, the sly cat stalks the mouse, in a manner not to arouse the mouse. The Soviet Union knows its advantage is in space today. Tomorrow is another story.

For that reason, Russian Killer Satellite Cosmos 954 was aimed on purpose for re-entry into Washington, D. C. and the New York City area as a "slow motion" time bomb of radioactivity -- essentially an atomic bomb. With the first "time bomb," the Russians played "the cat and mouse game" with American leaders. With the second "time bomb" the Soviets proved to the American public they could do it to so accurately that they could predict the exact decay time and place of its re-entry -- it splashed into the Indian Ocean near Ceylon.

To further demonstrate the U.S. government's inability to protect our position in this declared "Space War III," the USSR had done away with several million dollars worth of satellites en route to the placement positions far out from earth. All these games of cat and mouse have been accomplished to keep us from the gains they plan on the ground of Mother Earth. The public has been trained to consider objects in space decay nothing of concern. That way, when someone yells, "Skylab is falling. Skylab is falling," nobody will get upset.

Nevertheless, the Russian government has already declared Space War III against the United States. The President Carter knew this and so did members of his cabinet. Administrations, both past and present, have done all they can to keep this information away from members of Congress and the American public. The United States is in jeopardy. Fr. Haralambos has documented evidence of neglect in this matter. He also has examples of members of Congress hiding their heads in the sand like an ostrich, instead of doing what they should do -- conduct Congressional investigations. Congress should forget the farce attached to the Paula Jones/Monica Lewinsky investigations by Kenneth Starr. They should stop wasting their time and begin investigating matters of substance like this one. The truth should never be bent to serve any purpose. Facing up to our adversary has always been the American way to fight. But we can't fight if we aren't told the true story.

As was mentioned earlier, we were saved by divine intervention when Cosmos 954 was aimed directly at our Nation's Capitol. This was "Space Grace" as spelled out in scripture. We will be destroyed by our leaders through their lying and hateful disregard for the truth. Is having the "laser secret weaponry" on-board our shuttle orbiters worth the risk of annihilation by the Supreme Being? Have our leaders selected the role of being the Great Deceptors. Why do we now choose to bend "the light" of the Almighty's truth? Why? We are heading for disaster; except it will come from our blind side.

Russia has eluded our defenses and gotten the attention of our leaders. Cosmos 954 didn't do us in -- not because the Soviet Union didn't want to, or because we had the capabilities to deflect their missiles. It was done because it was not in the Lord's time.

Few people have made the connection that Cosmos 954 and the meteor collided, but Fr. Haralambos did. Fr. Haralambos also knows that Space War III has already been fought and the Soviet Union has been declared the winner. It was done by the threat of fire from the sky -- laser technology. And the American public didn't even know that the first battle of the Star Wars was fought between the U.S. and the USSR during the reigns of President Reagan and President Gorbachev. Fr. Haralambos says that when the Bible refers to "fire from the sky" that in today's technology that's referring to laser weaponry. (Rev. 20:9 & Ezekiel 38:22).

Fr. Haralambos has not limited his letter-writing campaign to leaders in the U.S. He extended it to world leaders as well. In September 1986 he wrote a letter to the then USSR General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev. Fr. Haralambos did so by informing Gorbachev he was suing the USSR. In this instance, Fr. Haralambos' letter was reminiscent of the Old Testament passages where Moses said to the Pharaoh, "Let my people go."

Fr. Haralambos sued Russia, but he made it clear he wasn't suing on his own behalf or for his own personal gain. He told Gorbachev he was doing it for the Lord, who Fr. Haralambos said is the true Author of the invention. The invention he referred to was a "kinetic energy space mass-high velocity collision device." The invention was first proposed as a theory, then as a hypothesis. Once this was done, evidence was presented, then it was published as documented proof.

God invented the "collision device".

There are the scientific rules, Fr. Haralambos said. The entire scientific community uses them to install a law, -- a formula -- as scientific fact. The key is to present "evidence" and documentation accurately describing all experiments, leading to final proof. The scientific sequence of events is THEORY, HYPOTHESIS, EVIDENCE, PROOF, FACT, LAW. Then it's put into the history books. This is the primary goal of Fr. Haralambos. He wants to give the Authorship of the invention to the rightful owner -- the Lord.

Fr. Haralambos said, "Try to compare the Author's perspective of an INVENTION, using outer space as the laboratory, the earth's atmosphere as the catalyst, chemicals and test-tube. The formula requires a free moving mass/object/meteorite, moving at a high velocity, colliding by direct interpolation, calculated to a space collision, at split-second timing. The collision would be programmed to intercept any object/mass, in-coming, foreign to the natural environment, above the earth at a particular point, or city, or country, continent on the globe. Disintegration follows, as particle meets foreign particle.

This would hold true whether the object were a satellite, ballistic missile, aircraft or space vehicle. Fr. Haralambos said the formula was presented to the U.S. Department of Commerce Patent Office, since this is a "device" used by our civilian Federal Agency, commercially developed by private industry and has not been placed into the public domain at this time.

It must be remembered that when Fr. Haralambos' sent his letter to President Gorbachev, that it was Fr. Haralambos' contention that neither the U.S.A. nor USSR had the right to Strategic Initiatives, to space weapons that were to be used for mass destruction against each other. Moreover, the ownership of the invention is merely done through the world scientific interpretations by men, inspired by God. Perhaps Albert Einstein was inspired in this same manner. "The true owner of the invention is The Supreme Being," Fr. Haralambos said. As Fr. Haralambos added, "He is called 'Yod' by the oldest tradition of faith, GOD by almost everybody, Messiah by the Judaic tradition, Christ by the Christian ethic and 'The Force' by Hollywood. God's invention is located at the "footstool" of heaven."

Fr. Haralambos reminds us that this Holy Power, though unseen, works for the good of all mankind. "Mankind," he said, "is not responding to the positive force and positive message that The Supreme Spirit is trying to convey for our own good and welfare. Therefore, as history is documented, it will happen as it is written by the Prophets."

In announcing his lawsuit, Fr. Haralambos made the following commitment: "Upon receipt of any contributions by either party, the proceeds will go entirely to the final great mass movement of the world -- The Exodus of all Jews to Israel. The moneys may be handled by another non-profit organization solely for this purpose, or by the Israeli Government itself. We hope this treatise will precipitate such a movement, especially the supporters -- men, women and children -- who love Israel."

"It is our lone wish," he added, "that this conduit will be built first, before the life-blood -- water -- may pour through to heal and transform the final unconquered Eritz (forever) Middle East Nation -- ISRAEL. Much will happen until this comes to pass for all true Hebrews at Heart. That 'peace' we all individually are seeking in our hearts."

On Tuesday, July 22, 1980, the day before the Feast Day of the Prophet Ezekiel, Fr. Haralambos prophesied:

" As the day approaches, honoring Ezekiel, the foretelling prophet of the Old Testament, in the Will of the Lord, it is to be told to you what is known forth-telling prophecy from what has already been written to the great Glory of Jesus Christ. For others to know Him and be guided by the Holy Spirit. Facing northward towards Russia, after the Olympics and before the space shuttle is finally launched, you will decide not to wait. You and your allies will march on the oil lands and Israel. It will be an awesome army. And it will happen long before America is ready for war. In these latter years of history, Egypt and America will not come to your aid, oh Israel, but 'I will,' says the Lord, 'to honor my name.'"

Fr. Haralambos continued: "Hailstones. Fire. Brimstone. Floods. Disease. Sword. All will accompany a mighty earthquake. Then all the Nations will know I am God. Eighty-five percent of all your armies will be destroyed on the mountains before you reach Jerusalem. It will take seven months for victorious Israel to bury you, Russia, who speaks so often of burying others. Though you have 'killer satellites' that can reach out 22,300 miles into space and destroy and blind your adversaries' communications, leaving them to a pre-emptive strike, I will send fire down on you and your allies on the Coasts. The fuel left in your tanks and machinery will last the children of Israel seven years. After only one-sixth remains of your army, the King of the West will assume his role."

Not only did Gorbachev receive the words of Fr. Haralambos regarding the elimination of missiles from Europe, but Gorbachev used and produced Fr. Haralambos' scientifically proven theory and hypothesis of "kinetic energy-space collision technology." Fr. Haralambos revealed this through a letter he mailed Sept. 7, 1986 along with another letter warning Gorbachev of copyright-invention infringements. The Gorbachev Letter was published by Haralambos in 1987 in "Theou Speaks" 4th edition.

Ezekiel, an old testament prophet, writes in Chapter 39:3-6,

Fr. Haralambos said, "Bible scholars have long ago committed themselves that the above implies that Ezekiel was talking about Russia."

When Fr. Haralambos wrote his treatise in 1987, the Big Power structure was held by Gorbachev and the generals behind him. There will be a "Russian Invasion," which was spoken about in the Torah. According to Fr. Haralambos, this power structure will institute this coming invasion before Armageddon. He said the invasion on Israel will begin in Jerusalem.

Why does the God of Israel allow Jerusalem to be attacked? "For two reasons," Fr. Haralambos said. "One, He will intervene and the world will know that the salvation of Israel was due to the God of Israel's divine intervention, and two, because Israel made a peace pact with America and Egypt back in 1978. Does not this event give glory to the same God who led them out of Egypt in the time of Moses?

The Prophet Isaiah in Chapter 28:15 & 16 spoke of this time:

Jeremiah 2:18 & 19 states,

Isaiah reminds us in Isaiah 48:12, "I am He; I am the First, I also am the Last ... " In Isaiah 43:10, it is written: ". . Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. I, even I, am the Lord: and beside me there is no Savior."

The prophets in the Torah gave credence, pointing toward the Messiah, the God of Israel. The historical significance of the prophetic utterances of the prophets in the Torah prove that the repetitive events occur by the divine hand of God in His timing. The past can speed toward the present and be linked to the future by events.

One of these events was foretold by the prophet Ezekiel concerning World War III which involves Gog; Magog, Russia and its invasion with other countries into Israel in the latter days. Witness the following passage from Ezekiel 38:4-6:

Suppose Russia does not want to invade Israel, but is forced to proceed with its sinister plan because of economics and its desire for world domination. The fact that "hooks into thy jaws" means Russia will have no choice. The pieces to that puzzle fell into place back in 1978, beginning with President Gorbachev and the generals behind him. No matter who is in power now in Russia, the die has been cast. All the leaders who follow have no alternative but to simply carry out what was already been set into place.

In Ezekiel 38:11-12, it is written:

"And thou shall say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages: I will go to them that are at rest that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates. To take a spoil, and to take a prey: to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods. . ."

Fr. Haralambos reminds us, "When Ezekiel wrote of 'people that are gathered out of the nations,' the fact remains that many more Jews were released by Mr. Gorbachev than by any other leader of Russia. He was used as an instrument of God to fulfill the release of the Jews, and many have done exactly that by returning to their homeland, Israel. In fact, many Jews from all over the world are returning to Israel. This statistic supports the statement that we truly are in the latter days, the times that the prophets of old said were coming."

Ezekiel 38:15,16 talks about the latter days in this manner:

"And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, 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, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, 0 Gog, before their eyes." Ezekiel further states in 38:17, "Thus saith the Lord God: Art thou he of whom I have spoken in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days many years that I would bring thee against them."

Fr. Haralambos, on Jan. 14, 1983, wrote to Prime Minister Menachem Begin. Fr. Haralambos also sent a copy to Miss Yona Klimpovitsky, Begin's personal assistant. Fr. Haralambos warned them of the Russian invasion. He wrote, "The God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, will perform the six miracles of destruction, leaving only one-sixth of the invading force to flee in the mountains of the Golan Heights. American and Egyptian forces will not come to your aid, yet test their sincerity to help, as provided in the peace pact, you should not rely heavily on ....Only give glory to the Lord, of whom I call Jesus Christ of Nazareth, The Messiah who will come/return, to settle in future history the correctness of his identification (Zechariah Chap. 12,V-10.) ... The God of Israel is one God in the same. 'I am Elohim.' They then discovered Russian equipment at the Israel/Lebanon border."

Fr. Haralambos continues, "As one reviews the past sequence of events, the discovery of Soviet weapons took place shortly after this letter was sent. Once again the God of Israel delayed His timing. This delay exists between Russia and the United States, in reference to Star Wars."

How much longer will He hold back the clock for His people to turn to Him? Fr. Haralambos repeats a Biblical verse that was quoted at the beginning of this publication. It referred to "space grace," which is taken from Ezra 9:8: "And now for a little space grace hath been shewed from the Lord our God, to leave us a remnant to escape, and to give us a nail in his holy place, that our God may lighten our eyes, and give us a little reviving in our bondage. . .." The God of Israel is calling for His chosen to come to Him before His Judgment and return."

All nations and people should heed Isaiah 53:1-10:

"Who hath believed our report and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed? For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground he hath no form nor comeliness: and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. He is despised and rejected of men: a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him: he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him: and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned everyone to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? For he was cut out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was stricken. And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth. Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put him to grief when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand...."

Could this Torah verse be describing the Messiah returning from Heaven, the Messiah who was more than a prophet when He walked the earth and was called Jesus of Nazareth? Fr. Haralambos said perhaps the Russian Invasion spoken of in this text will provide proof that the God of Israel will intervene and demonstrate to the world He not only exists, but He is the one true force. Only rest assured, when God re-enters humanity, He will not be a baby in swaddling clothes.

"The Peace Pact is justification for the forthcoming events that will involve Egypt, America and Israel," Fr. Haralambos said, "Russia is a catalyst in which the destiny of the three previously mentioned countries will unwind according to written passages from the prophets of old. Once the mighty Russian Invasion occurs, true colors and motives of the other nations will be exposed. There will be no excuse, regardless if the United States is behind in strategic weapons, if it does not offer aid to Israel."

Just because the USSR is no more, don't be misled or become complacent. Russia has its financial problems -- just like every other country -- but as soon as it's back on its feet, watch out. If things weren't going so badly for the country financially, do you think its leaders would have ever permitted American astronauts to dock and board Russia's Mir? If Russia had a huge treasury, do you think it would have gone into a joint venture with a major U.S. manufacturing company when it comes to space exploration? We may just give Russia enough financial help that it really could destroy us. But remember one thing: it won't happen unless it's part of the Lord's plan.

Russia is down, but far from out. The goal of Russia -- no matter its name -- has not changed since Nikita Khruschev pounded his shoe on a table at the United Nations, then vowed they would bury the United States. Not one day since then has Russia stopped developing aerospace technology that is equal and sometimes greater than that of the U.S. One of the arguments that you hear, even from the "hallowed" halls of Congress, is, "Hey, the Cold War is over. We don't need all this technology and weaponry. The Defense Budget is bloated and needs to be diverted to other more pressing needs at home."

That's exactly what Russia wants us to think and do. Yes, the Cold War is over. Yes, Russia is hurting for money. Nevertheless, the only part of Russia's economy that remains intact is what it spends on expanding its military war-producing capability. So, for cash, they produce new and modern weapons and sell them abroad -- to places like Iran and Iraq and other saber-rattling nations throughout the world.

According to one U.S. fighter pilot, Russia has slowly but steadily achieved the same level of excellence as the United State's first-line fighter -- the F-15 -- and in some technology has even exceeded the capability of that airplane. The U.S., the pilot added, is now badly undergunned in terms of air-to-air missiles. He said the U.S. doesn't have the capability to stand up against the modern airplanes that Russia is now producing and exporting around the world. American fighter pilots are well-trained, he conceded, but they face formidable foes wherever those weapons are exported.

Today, the U.S. is trying to recover its position of superiority by putting into outer space a variety of space vehicles that have immeasurable lethal capabilities. That may be our last -- and only -- chance for retaliation.

On Jan. 31, 1958, at 10:48 p.m. EST, the United States celebrated its first successful satellite launch into space. That action took place 40 years ago and it forever changed America's means of communicating, navigating, monitoring weather, and exploring the universe. "It's amazing to think in early 1958 America had just one satellite in orbit. Today, if you include other nations there are more than 500 satellites in orbit which will be joined by another 1,200 to 1,500 in the next decade." The speaker was Brig. Gen. Randy Starbuck, Commander of the 45th Space Wing.

The historic 1958 launch catapulted America into a space race led by the Russians. Four months before, Soviet scientists had launched Sputnik 1. A month later they sent up Sputnik 2. "In 1958," Gen. Starbuck said, "it was Explorer I. Today we have Cassini on its way to Saturn."

A month after this statement was made -- on Feb. 4, 1998 -- Russian President Boris Yeltsin issued a warning through the world press. He said the U.S. military action against Iraq in the Iraq crisis over UN weapons inspection, could lead to World War. He accused President Clinton of "acting too noisily there. One must be more careful and not threaten with such weapons and fight with planes and bombs." He also reportedly told French President Jacques Chirac that he believes Iraq is making progress toward a peaceful resolution in its conflict with the United Nations.

We have touched on many subjects in this essay -- from Cosmos 954 to meteors, from "Operation Morning Light" to Cassini, from a Russian invasion to Russia gaining supremacy in aviation weaponry. We have saved the best for last -- the solid gold statue of the Madonna and Christ Child, which was referred to in the opening paragraphs of this publication. The statue lies at the bottom of the ocean in the same location as where Fr. Haralambos found pieces of Cosmos 954 and the meteor. What does Russia and the Golden Madonna and Christ Child have to do with one another?

During the reign of Spain's King Phillip IV -- 1655 by most accounts -- he commissioned the construction of the statue. Solid gold. Worth several billion dollars in today's market. The statue was made and hidden in the bottom of "The Maravillas" ship and protected by Spain's mighty Armada. Near the Bahamas, the ship hit a sandbar below the waterline and sinks. All the events took place more than 340 years ago, King Phillip IV helped create what is happening and what is about to happen. And what is about to happen? The importance of the Golden Madonna and Child is a major one as far as the End Times is concerned. As was spelled out in the Secret of Fatima, which was communicated to the three seers July 13, 1917, its conclusion creates definite hope for us. In it, Mary, the Mother of God, announced the terrible combat of the end times, assuredly entered into since 1960. It will end by the serpent being finally overwhelmed and his head crushed.

If the Golden Madonna is found, it will be in the exact location where Cosmos 954 left its trail. Finding the golden statue also means we truly are at the doorstep of the End Times. That's because many believe when it is located and displayed, all heads will bow to the golden image. It has been prophesied that Golden Madonna will ultimately be placed in the center of Moscow at the highest point of the Kremlin. From there it will begin to radiate; and will truly be the Queen of almost every heart, except a remnant. Could this be a form of idolatry?

St. Maximilian Kolbe, an apostle, prophesied in the 1930s: "I think that people will see the Statue of the Immaculate as placed over the Kremlin...." Could this statue be the Spanish Golden Madonna still laying in her watery tomb, waiting to be discovered?

It is considered that during the consecration of Russia to Mary's Immaculate Heart, the entire world will be visible to the eyes of everyone, and particularly to the eyes of heretics, of the schismatic, of the Jews and the pagans. It was the Holy Mother of God who was used as a catalyst to bring the Most Holy into the world the first time. Her statue will trigger The Messiah's Second Coming. But we must not be fooled, because this time He will surely come as a wrathful warrior, not as a babe in a lowly manger.
