I would take a "FUNR VESL SUP Board" at this point.
https://veslpaddleboards.com/
Thanks hardlesson.
Just off and on trading for the last 12 years.
CUBV appeared to have lots of potential so I logged back into Ihub last spring and have been in silent mode since then.
Since I got stung in the stock RLTR over 12 years ago I made a new trading rule not to let message board enthusiasm for a stock overrule my technical buy and sell indicators. Through message board hope I did not sell RLTR when I should have and watched a great profit erode into nothing through reverse splits. It had great potential. I was steaming movies to my TV trough RLTR before netflix had started their streaming service. RLTR management imploded and that was that.
When I saw CUBV I thought I could resist the message board emotional bond to a stock and stick strictly to technical indicators. So I remained silent while reading the comments. This obviously did not work. I did not sell any from the fall from .04 and again at my buy in point.
So what the heck I decided to scrap the message board quite mode rule and just double down on following the technical indicators.
Gap from April 26, 2021 is filled!
For all the good it may do, it's another obstacle out of the way.
Yes, fill that gap!
The fundamental constants {p (pi) and e} may be derived from the scriptures:
p from the Hebrew of Genesis 1:1, and
e from the Greek of John 1:1 by the application of a simple procedure
- the errors involved being of the order of a mere 0.001%.
the planning of these wonders must have preceded the writing of Genesis 1:1 (2nd millenium BC), the Hebrew alphabetic system of numeration (c200 BC), and the writing of John 1:1 (c100 AD). Further, the fundamental constant e could not have been known by man before the 18th century AD!
There are now strong reasons for believing the whole of God's Word - read literally - to be completely trustworthy.
Genesis 1:1
"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." and
John 1:1
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."
Notwithstanding the great time interval between their respective inceptions, it is clear that there exists a strong textual bonding between Genesis 1:1 and John 1:1.
The evaluation of p from within Genesis 1:1
The Bible's first verse comprises 7 Hebrew words formed from a total of 28 letters. Hitherto, attention has focused particularly on the sums of the word CVs in total and in part.
(the CV, or "characteristic value" is an uncontrived numerical dimension)
Now, however, it is the word and letter products that occupy centre stage. Observe that, although each word CV is the sum of its letter CVs, the product of the latter bears no clear and obvious relationship to the former. Essential features of this analysis involve the two verse ratios
* (product of letter CVs) / (product of word CVs) = R1, say, and
* (number of letters) / (number of words) = R2, say
Writing the product (R1 x R2) in standard mathematical form, an accurate value for p is revealed.
The details may be found here.
http://homepage.virgin.net/vernon.jenkins/Pi_File.htm
The evaluation of e from within John 1:1
The number of words in this verse is 17, comprising a total of 52 letters.
Again, writing the product (R1 x R2) in standard mathematical form, an accurate value for e is revealed.
The details may be found here
http://homepage.virgin.net/vernon.jenkins/e_valuation.htm
A review of the p and e evaluations
Let us first observe that any estimate of p or e that is obtained as the ratio of two integers must, necessarily, be an approximation. It is therefore interesting, and undoubtedly significant, that the errors involved in the foregoing derivations, viz -0.0012 and +0.0011, respectively, are small, of the same order of magnitude, and of opposite polarity.
It is appropriate that we derive a 'handle' on the kind of odds against this being a chance happening - bearing in mind the fundamental nature and close relationship of the sources involved. Here, again, are the first 10 digits of "estimate: true value" for p and e, respectively, with matching significant digits underlined:
3.141554509 : 3.141592654 and 2.718312812 : 2.718281828
Clearly, if these figures are rounded, both p and e are seen to be correct to 5 significant figures. Based upon a random distribution of the variables (a not unreasonable assumption in the circumstances), a simple estimate of the combined probability of these events may therefore be obtained as follows:
Since the first digit in each case could have been any one of nine in the range 1-9, and each of the remaining matching digits, any one of ten in the range 0-9, each event is associated with a probability of 1/90,000; and because they are independent, the final assessment is of the order of ten billion* to 1 against them occurring fortuitously.
*As used here, the term 'billion' is equivalent to 10^9.
Conclusions
Let us briefly recap:
* The Hebrew letters and words of the Old Testament and the Greek letters and words of the New Testament each have an uncontrived numerical dimension (the CV, or "characteristic value") that arises directly from their involvement in the alphabetic numbering systems of these early peoples.
* The application of a simple numerical procedure to the Hebrew letters and words of the Bible's first verse (Gen.1:1) generates an approximation of p, correct to 5 significant figures (error: 0.0012%).
* The application of the identical procedure to the first verse of the Gospel of John (which has much in common with Gen.1:1) generates an approximation of e, also correct to 5 significant figures (error: 0.0011%).
* It would be extremely unreasonable to suppose that these events are fortuitous accidents; rather, highly likely that they are features of purposeful design.
* The circumstantial evidence, viz the textual and geometrical links between these verses, strongly confirms this view.
Clearly, the planning of these wonders must have preceded the writing of Genesis 1:1 (2nd millenium BC), the Hebrew alphabetic system of numeration (c200 BC), and the writing of John 1:1 (c100 AD). Further, the fundamental constant e could not have been known by man before the 18th century AD!
Quite obviously, therefore, what we have described here has to be viewed as a purposeful supernatural act! And because the verses on which the phenomena are centred speak of "Elohim" and "Jesus Christ", it is not hard to deduce the identity of their author.
The standing miracle (for it is nothing less!) informs us as follows:
* The statements of Gen.1:1 and John 1:1 were made by the same author (and scientist); henceforth, their truth cannot be questioned by any of rational mind.
* There are now strong reasons for believing the whole of God's Word - read literally - to be completely trustworthy.
* It is now clear that God has therein provided empirical evidence of his being and sovereignty; in this 'Age of Reason' - (and gross apostasy!) - he is acting decisively so that none should perish through ignorance or foolish presumption.

Chuck Missler series of audio files on Bible codes gives one of the best proofs I've seen that the Bible was written by divine inspiration.
http://www.khouse.org/topical_bible_study/biblecodes/
Yes, various people have proven that words and messages can be teased from almost any book, but Chuck explains there is a big difference between these and what is found in the Bible. One of which are: those found in the Bible are usually related to the actual text written.
The hidden message found in the Bible are for proof of Bible authentication and not for divination.
The agnostic's of the world should contemplate on these once hidden messages found all throughout the Bible and know that it is possible to know that there is a God.

About Chuck Missler:
He is a Naval academy graduate and former Branch Chief of the Dept. of Guided Missiles, had a remarkable 30-year executive career. He served on the Board of Directors of 12 public companies and was CEO of 6 of them.
"I believe a law will be passed: those who have debts, future or past, shall be required to make good on their debts. And the world has decided upon a new standard. You must take this chip in order to be able to repay your debts and promises. And those who do not shall be persecuted. And all wares, food, and services shall only be traded through their chip network."
Wouldn't this nullify the use of silver and gold? If the plan of a one world government is to institute a chip based economy, then at some point in the future before the chips are delivered out it would make sense that these one world elites would rid themselves of their precious metal reserves. The gold and silver that everyone is now purchasing (from these elites) would become worthless.
I find it interesting that "The International Monetary Fund (just) sold 200 metric tons of gold to the Reserve Bank of India for about $6.7 billion, its first such sale in nine years." http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=newsarchive&sid=a_ci2mt_znHU

During the period of a future one world government it is written that "They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD:
they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumbling block of their iniquity."
Ezekiel 7:19
Zephaniah 1:18 Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the LORD'S wrath
Revelation 13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 13:17And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. 13:18Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
"We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion.

It is wholly inadequate for the government of any other."

I think Linus van Pelt may be on to something.
eaglesurvivor - I don't know how you interpreted my previous post, but the passage you just posted from Hosea 3: 1-5 precisely agrees with what I have been saying.
Glad you appreciated the story about the Devil and his quest to control the world.
I totally agree with you that "the nice thing about America is that you can believe what you want". However, I shouldn't have allowed myself to stoop to the level of RTK and call him intolerant of the jews. I was reacting to him calling my viewpoints "biggoted" and "dishonest".
When I make a post I am just presenting a different point of view. You can take it or leave it.
I read this board to view other opinions and explanations, but as of now am content with the opinions I currently have, thanks.
You have the right to believe the "interpretative twist" of King Abdullah, just as I do of the Biblical version. I see your view of the Jew as utterly intolerant just because their opinion differs from that of your own.
Why do you and the world single out the Jew for their conquest when the same has been done by pratically every nation through out history. I'm not saying it is right and should have happened, but the Europeans conquered the American Indians, these American Indians conquered other American Indian tribes, the Muslim nations had their time in history of conquering other nations.
I tell you why the world hates the Jew, though I doubt you would believe it.
The Devil and his minions currently control the world. He stole ownership of the world from mankind back in the Garden of Eden. Jesus re-obtained ownership of the world through his death and resurrection, but has yet claimed it. The Devil thinks that if he can prevent Jesus' return then he can prevent Jesus from claiming the ownership of the Earth.
His second coming will not occur until the Jewish people make a petition for his return as stated in
Hosea 5:15 "I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offense, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early."
“And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and supplication. They will look on me, the one they have pierced, and they will mourn for him as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly for him as one grieves for a firstborn son.” (Zechariah 12:10-11). As all the nations of the world gather against Jerusalem for the great and final battle of the age of man, the remnant of Israel will turn to their Messiah and petition His return. Having caused Him to reject them and leave them (Hosea 5:15) they will finally see the error of their way, admit their guilt, and petition His return (Hosea 6:1-2). “Then the Lord will go out and fight against those nations, as he fights in the day of battle.” (Zechariah 14:3)
Through out all of Jewish history the Devil has tried to eliminate the Jews to prevent the fulfilling of prophecies. First to prevent a Messiah from being born into the lineage of King David and then second to stop the Jew from petitioning his return. The Devil lost at his first chance and he will soon loose out on the second chance when Israel is prophesied to petition to God during the seven year tribulation.
You obviously didn't read the last chapter in Hosea where it says "They (Israel) shall return; they shall revive as the corn, and grow as the vine"
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=hosea%2014:4-7&version=KJV
God consults no one concerning these matters.
The 1948 creation of Israel was foretold in Ezekiel 4:6
circa 592BC. This prophesy(in conjunction with Leviticus 26) predicted the year that Israel would again become a nation over 2540 years before it happened.
The northern Kingdom, called Israel, was conquered by the Assyrians around 722BC.
Babylon conquered Judah(which had Jerusalem as its capital) over a 19 year period that included three sieges about 130 years later.
Ezekiel was carried off to Babylon in the 2nd siege of Judah, in 597BC. God told Ezekiel(circa 592BC) in a vision to lie on his left side for 390 days and on his right for 40 days, for a total of 430 days, to bear the sins of Israel.
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ezekiel%204&version=KJV
390 was for the Northern Kingdom, since laying on his left side meant he was facing North, and 40 was for the South because he was laying on his right side facing south. Each day represented one year of idolatry that Israel and Judah had committed.
Some scholars feel this prophecy foretold the 2nd regathering of Israel, not the one after Babylon. They base this on the fact that the first Jews were taken captive after Nebuchadnezzar defeated Egypt and Assyria at the Battle of Carchemish in 606 BC
( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Carchemish )which began the 70 year servitude of the nation.
After being freed by the Persians the Jews began returning from Babylon, rebuilding the altar in 536 BC just after the New year. (Ezra 3:1.) That meant 70 years(since the Battle of Carchemish in 606 BC) of the 430 had been served, leaving 360.
These scholars point out that several times in Leviticus (26:21,24,& 28
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Leviticus%2026:21&version=KJV )
the Lord warned that if they didn’t repent immediately upon sinning their punishment would be multiplied 7 times. 360 years times 7 = 2520 years. They also remind us that the Lord’s calendar has always been based on a 360 day year of 12 thirty day months. 2520 years of 360 days would be 2484 years on our 365.25 day calendar.
From 536 BC to 1948 AD when Israel was re-born is 2484 years. Therefore the punishment was finally complete in 1948 when Israel was reborn.
Well said.
I'd actually like to see more discussion on the Bible and other religious type topics. After all, religion is one of the most powerful influences out there. It reaches into the inner man and the very heart and soul. To many, it is more precious than life itself, like freedom to choose and take responsibility for one's own actions. That's why americans were and are great: it's because they believed in doing good and were willing to live good. As goodness declines, so does greatness.
With all the uncertainty in today's world it's somewhat of a comfort knowing through Bible prophecy how things are going to turn out.
Over 300 passages from the Old Testament came true during Jesus' time. If they came true then how can anyone not believe that the other 500 plus prophecies foretelling the second coming will not soon be fulfilled.

"Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."
John Adams
Those who are elected into government office who do not hold these same Judeo-Christian values upon which the Constitution was written, cannot be expected to come to terms with or understand the foundational principles on which it was written. This duplicity creates a house divided against itself, which will eventually fail.

Census Workers Marking GPS Coordinates of U.S. Homes - WHY?
http://www.personalliberty.com/bob-livingston/census-workers-marking-gps-coordinates-of-us-homes/
By Bob Livingston • Jun 19th, 2009 •
The United States Constitution calls for an enumeration (census) to be taken every 10 years to determine the number of representatives each state will send to Congress. The next one is set to begin on April 1, 2010.
But census workers are already on the streets of America, and they’re doing more than just seeking the number of people in each household. They’re tasked with marking the Global Positioning System (GPS) coordinates of every house in America.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau website, “This GPS technology allows us to reduce the amount of time spent by census workers in locating addresses while increasing productivity. Most importantly, by adding a GPS coordinate to each housing unit, the Census Bureau is able to ensure that residents are counted in the right location. This is important as the data are used to apportion congressional representation and used to draw redistricting lines.”
But the idea of mapping GPS coordinates for every front door in America reeks of Big Brother intrusion. And it’s just a continuation of Big Brother Government’s efforts to compile more and more data on each individual.
Already the census goes far beyond its Constitutional charter of counting the population. Census forms ask intimate questions that are not the government’s business.
Information such as income, description of your property, whether you have running water, a shower or bathtub, type of heating system, the type of fees you have to pay in your community, rental or mortgage payment amounts, education level, whether you have insurance, whether you have a disability, how you get to work and much more is requested on some forms. All of it beyond the scope of what our Founders had in mind when they set up the enumeration.
All that information is great for pencil-pushing, snooping bureaucrats and newspaper editors writing statistical stories. But it’s much too much information for the government to have on its citizens.
Now comes the GPS coordinates as a further intrusion. As blogger Douglas V. Gibbs wrote on his American Daily Review, “GPS coordinates of your front door will make it easier for the government to monitor you. The U.S. Census Bureau is simply an excuse—a harmless-looking means of obtaining the front door coordinates. The creation of GPS coordinates for front doors has nothing to do with the Census, in all honesty, no matter how much the United States Government tries to convince you that it does.
“Why would the U.S. Government desire the exact location of your front door to be entered into their GPS data base when they already have the location of your home in the system?” Gibbs asked.
How’s this for a scenario? With the military stretched thin by fighting a two-front war, what’s going to happen in the case of a national emergency?
Gibbs posits that perhaps United Nations troops, many non-English speaking and certainly unfamiliar with U.S. communities, would use them to locate the neighborhoods they are required to police or the houses of people they are sent to take into custody.
Certainly foreign troops would be more willing than U.S. soldiers to quell an uprising of U.S. citizens fed up with an increasingly socialist/fascist government.
And who can forget the scenes of smart bombs and tomahawk missiles, guided by GPS coordinates, going through the windows and doors of buildings during the invasion of Iraq?
Who thinks this is what the Founding Fathers had in mind when they wrote the census into the Constitution?

The Money Secret of Folkston, Georgia
By Tom Dyson
Wednesday, June 17, 2009
http://www.dailywealth.com/archive/2009/Jun/2009_Jun_17.asp?
In 2005, I wandered into the Simpson Yard in Jacksonville and struck up a conversation with the duty manager. The Simpson Yard belongs to the Norfolk Southern Railroad. It's their major freight yard in Jacksonville.
"We're slammed," he told me. "We are turning business away we are so busy."
Railroad activity is one of my favorite economic indicators. Railroads haul the most important commodities and goods around the country, like coal, autos, chemicals, lumber, and container boxes. When railroad activity booms, you can bet the economy is booming, too. When the railroads are having problems, it's a safe bet the economy is shrinking.
Jacksonville is the only major city in Florida that does not depend on tourists. It's an industrial town and a major seaport. It's also a major railroad center. Goods leave Jacksonville on mainline "trunk" routes heading south, north, west, and to the Midwest. In other words, Jacksonville is a fantastic place to judge railroad activity.
CSX is the third-largest railroad in America, and it's headquartered in Jacksonville. Two of CSX's busiest routes converge at Folkston, Georgia, about 20 miles north of Jacksonville. And the "Folkston Funnel" is one of the best spots east of the Mississippi River for watching freight trains.
"It's quiet at the moment," said a man with a camera and a notepad. "They've pulled 12 trains a day from the schedule."
"They've closed the yard to the south of here too," he said. "They're using it to store rolling stock, but no trains depart from there anymore."
Right now in America, there are half a million freight cars rusting away on rural sidetracks and in shuttered freight yards. The situation is so bad, some small communities have staged protests to make the railroads remove abandoned freight cars from their neighborhoods. The wagon strings cut towns in half and look ugly. (The Indy Star ran a story about this here.)
It's the same with locomotives. A new railroad locomotive costs over $2 million. According to Progressive Railroading, the U.S. railroad industry has over 5,000 locomotives "mothballed" and out of service... around 25% of America's total locomotive fleet.
Each week, the Association of American Railroads counts the number of railcars loaded by the railroads. The number of railcars loaded has fallen all year, including double-digit declines in April and May. Loadings so far in 2009 are down about 20% from the same period last year.
The message from the rails is this: The economy is getting worse, and there's no boom in sight. That's in direct conflict with the economic recovery they're talking about on Wall Street.
Judging by the rail pulse, the economy is weak. I don't trust the current move up in the stock market. My guess is it's a giant bear market rally.
Good investing,
Tom

Our Southern Fathers Told Us What To Expect

“ . . . and bank-notes will become as plentiful as oak leaves”
—Thomas Jefferson
“ They [the people], and not the rich are our dependence for continued freedom. And to preserve their independence, we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our election between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude. If we run into such debts, as that we must be taxed in our meat and drink, in our necessaries and our comforts, in our labours and our amusements . . . our people . . .must come to labour sixteen hours in the twenty-four, give the earnings of fifteen of these to the government for their debts and daily expenses . . . .”
—Thomas Jefferson
"But an opinion that it is possible for the present generation to seize and use the property of future generations has produced to both parties concerned, effects of the same complexion with the usual fruits of national errour. The present age is cajoled to tax and enslave itself, by the errour of believing that it taxes and enslaves future ages to enrich itself."
—John Taylor of Caroline
"A crocodile has been worshipped, and its priesthood have asserted that morality required the people to suffer themselves to be eaten by the crocodile."
—John Taylor of Caroline
“We are now making an experiment, which has never yet succeeded in any region or quarter of the earth, at any time, from the deluge to this day. With regard to the antediluvian times, history is not very full; but there is no proof that it has ever succeeded, even before the flood.”
—John Randolph of Roanoke
“I said that this Government, if put to the test—a test that it is by no means calculated to endure—as a government for the management of the internal concerns of this country, is one of the worst that can be conceived . . . .”
—John Randolph of Roanoke
"Why should the government pay the expenses of one class of men rather than another?"
—John C. Calhoun
"A habit of profusion and extravagance has grown up utterly inconsistent with republican simplicity and virtue, and which was rapidly sapping the foundation of our government."
—John C. Calhoun
"It was impossible to force the minds of the public officers to the importance of attendance to the public money, because we had too much of it."
—John C. Calhoun
"It has been justly stated by a British writer that the power to make a small piece of paper, not worth one cent, by the inscribing of a few names, to be worth a thousand dollars, was a power too high to be trusted to the hands of mortal man."
—John C. Calhoun
"We must curb the Banking system, or it will certainly ruin the country."
—John C. Calhoun
"The government is the executive committee of great wealth."
—Frank L. Owsley, Southern Agrarian, 1936
From the beginning of the U.S. Government, Southerners saw it as a locus of liberty, honour, and American mutuality. From its beginning, the predominant class in the North regarded the government as a source of profits. To Southerners, the Constitution was the means of the people's control over government power. To Northerners, it was an instrument to be manipulated for their advantage. This difference came to a head in the struggle between Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson.
Jefferson and his friends, notable Virginians of the time like John Randolph and John Taylor, called Hamilton, John Adams, and their friends "monarchists." By this was meant not only that they favoured kingship, which they did, but also that they wanted a strong central government built on patronage to the wealthy (at the expense of the ordinary hard-working producers). This patronage was to be financed through national debt, manipulation of the currency, and various types of business subsidy, which they falsely claimed were necessary and beneficial to all Americans.
Jefferson and his friends (which, to be fair, included a valiant minority of Northerners) managed to hold Hamilton's schemes in abeyance for two generations, although the Hamiltonians never ceased to put them forward aggressively. Lincoln's conquest and near-destruction of the South established the Northern program without any effective check. Yet Jeffersonian ideals continued to wield a certain power long afterward, right up to World War II. The regime of the Republican George W. Bush and the Democrat Barack Obama (there is no real difference) have now delivered the final death blow to the system of government and to the ideals of freedom established by our forefathers. The Constitution no longer exists except as a collection of minor procedural rules. The distinction between government spending for public purposes and for private profits has been abolished, as has the distinction between federal spending for national purposes and for merely local purposes. The government is now making sure the economy is frozen so that those who are presently wealthy will remain wealthy and so that your and my children and grandchildren will pay the price in diminished life.
Only among the Southern people is there still enough allegiance to the genuine American founding principles to offer a viable alternative, but these principles can never be made real under the present evil empire.

As for a Christian knowing and understanding prophesy isn't necessary for salvation, but only the belief that Jesus bought redemption for all mankind's sinful nature when he died and rose from the dead.
"So now we have Gog, ruler of the land of Magog (Russia), king of the locusts, leader of the Russian led in invasion of Israel, associated with the angel-prince of hell, Satan! So clearly this Russian led invasion is actually another attempt by Satan to thwart the plan of God."
It is obvious from Daniel 10:13 and 10:20 that for every Kingdom man establishes on Earth, Satan places a supernatural leader over that Kingdom in an attempt to "thwart the plan of God".
In Daniel 10:13 a certain angel was sent to Daniel to give him a vision of the latter days and had this to say
"But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia."
and continues in Daniel 10:20 saying
"Then said he, Knowest thou wherefore I come unto thee? and now will I return to fight with the prince of Persia: and when I am gone forth, lo, the prince of Grecia shall come."
Before the prince of Persia there was the prince of Babylon. Then after the prince of Grecia there was the prince of Rome.

similarly identifies Gog as being a supernatural being.
"His {Ezekiel's} prophecies about Israel in the end times are chronological. Chapters 36-37 predict the end times restoration of Israel. Then comes the Battle of 38-39. Finally, Chapters 40-48 cover the beginning of the Millennium. So the rebellion involving Gog and Magog at the end of the Millennium in Revelation has to be different than the battle of Ezekiel 38-39 that precedes it.
It was this difference that led me to conclude that while Magog represents the Russian people, who are involved in both events, Gog is a supernatural personage, likely Satan’s counterpart to the Archangel Michael. In the Septuagint (Greek) translation of the Old Testament, Gog is mentioned in Amos 7:1 as the King of the locusts, in addition to the two references{Ezekiel & Revelation} you cite. Since Amos wrote 200 years before Ezekiel, this would give Gog close to a 3000 year lifespan. He’s not listed in Genesis 10 as the father of a people so there’s no justification for thinking that these references speak of his descendants, as with Magog. Some believe that his name is really a title, but I’m of the opinion that he’s one of Satan’s chief lieutenants."
I don't think Hal specifically said that the anti-Christ is ruler the entire 7 years.
The Anti-Christ is first made known to the world when he confirms (enforce) a 7 year covenant with Israel. This will start the clock ticking for the 7 year period and that in the middle of this period he will commit the Abomination that Causes Desolation. This is when the anti-Christ is seen standing in the Temple in Israel, proclaiming himself to be God. This also begins the last 3 1/2 year period known as the Great Tribulation(a time of great distress unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again..) It seems by this point in time the world is under the anti-Christ rule.
So to me it sounds like the anti-Christ is made known at the beginning to the 7 years and that at some point between then and the middle of the 7 years he will become ruler.
Why do the Bilderbergs and the Council on Foreign Relations
(CFR) want to set up a one world government?
Is Obama the Anti-Christ and where does the Anti-Christ come from?
Why isn't America in Bible prophecy?

38 and 39
Sounds about right to me.
After Israel is forced to sign a peace agreement this allows their economy to vastly improve in a short time. This new economic wealth further infuriates the Muslim world. This peace agreement will be short lived because the Muslims will see their prosperous and unguarded neighbor ripe for the taking.
Iran will lead an attack against Israel with the support of Russia. Damascus, Syria will be destroyed by nuclear bomb at some point in this conflict. Russia and Iran(Shiite Muslims) will be defeated. Even though Israel was a peace and did not start this war the rest of the World will blame Israel. This will bring in the armies from the West(EU), East(China) and South(Sunni Muslim countries) to duel it out with Israel.
"I expect Israel to be forced to sign a peace agreement that they know will be broken. I expect it to involve Israel giving up more land. I expect it will result in disaster. I expect the major Broker of the deal to be Obama. I expect the media to celebrate it like it is the greatest accomplishment in the history of the world and raise Obama to god like status. I expect it to result in the Palestineans along with Hamas, Hezbollah, and others lined up on the border with nuclear weapons provided by Iran thanks to our new policy of pretending like Iran is interested in Nuclear power instead of nuclear weapons. The agreement will be broken of course just like every other but this time will not be some minor skirmish. By the time this plays out the U.S. will be but a minor player on the worlds stage. A rag tag nanny-state polyglot mixture of pizz and poop. Am i being too cheery?"
That's the conclusion I'm coming to as well.
