A UFO was reported to have crashed in Roswell, New Mexico on July 4, 1947. It has been long accepted that the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered in 1947, but according to Randall Price in his book Secrets of the Dead Sea Scrolls he found out that they could have actually been discovered as early as 1936. The World Council of Churches was established on August 23, 1948. Just as we are able to interpret prophecy, and determine the signs of the times- so has Satan. He knew the time that Israel would prophetically be resurrected as a nation, and he had to make sure his plans would be in place, so, when the time came, he would be able to deceive the world into accepting the Antichrist as the messiah.
Lets look at the events surrounding Israel becoming a nation.
The establishment of the United Nations would herald the move toward one-world government. A recent expose' has shown that there was a UFO crash at Roswell, and among the technology gleaned from it was integrated circuit chips, fiber optics, and lasers. The computer you are now using was made possible by this alien technology. The treasure of ancient documents found at Qumran has yielded copies of nearly every Old Testament book, however, it has also turned up documents from a Jewish sect known as the Essenes. As these Dead Sea Scrolls were translated in secret, the scholars behind them began to use them to undermine Jesus, by saying that the Essenes were the true originators of what became known as Christianity.
