‘The Jubilee of Years equals 50’; 1958-2008

By Dana G Smith

I lived in a small house in a rural western town. Our home was one of
the stereotypical houses that the government at the time put up, called
the Bureau of Reclamation houses. There were two bedrooms, no basement,
and rather small, with a kitchen and a large room where you ate, viewed
black and white television and watched the kids play. The average house
cost $12,750.00, while the average wage earner, the man of the house
earned a fantastic $4600.00 a year. If you had a car, it would cost only
25 cents per gallon to fill up, while someone renting a house paid out
$92.00 a month for it. Toyota and Datsun cars went on sale for the first
time in the US and Nelson Rockefeller was elected governor of New York.
It also was the year that Nikita Khrushchev became the Premier of the
Soviet Union. The Bridge on the River Kwai was playing, while Jimmy
Stewart made big draws at the box office with his movie Vertigo. The
year was 1958, the year that also saw Elvis Presley being inducted into
the Army. [Facts taken from thepeoplehistory.com/1958.html]

It was also the year of some major important events. On the third of
January of 1958, the ‘Treaty of Rome’ founding the European Union was
implemented. Another event was the first microchip was developed in the
US by Intel. I ask you, where would the modern computer be without the
Microchip or toys for that matter, plus the myriad of other
technological advances that all came out of the Intel discovery. Under
the ice cap at the North Pole, the US nuclear sub, ‘Nautilus’ passed
under this massive sheet of ice during 1958. It was a grand experiment
in modern know how for man. The first month of 1958 hardly passed into
history when NASA, the North American Space Agency was formed. Following
shortly, the United States Army’s expertise was put into good use as its
First satellite was successfully launched into orbit from Cape Canaveral
in Florida on January 31 st of 1958. It was called the Jupiter-C
Explorer 1. This unit was designed and built by JPL, under contract to
the US Army. This was the forerunner of the Deep Space Network.

1958 was also one of the most important UFO sightings man has seen. It
was called the ‘Trinidad Island UFO’. Trinidad is a small deserted rocky
island in the South Atlantic. It was used as a military base during
WWII. It was during January of 1958 that a professional photographer
named Almiro Barauna who specialized in underwater photographer and
former newsman working as a free lancer spotted this now famous UFO.
What made it so important was the photographic evidence and the many
eyewitnesses, 48 in all, who spotted it along with Almiro.

The Trinidad UFO was photographed and seen by a significant number of
qualified observers. The case is, shortly said, a one to two minutes
daylight disk observation by at least 47 visual witness on January 16,
1958, at 12:20 local time, at the Trinidad Island, off the coast of
Brazil. The particularity of the event is that the object has been
photographed. [ufologie.net/htm/trindade58.htm]

Moreover this year also saw Iraq in the news. It was in July of 1958
that the Iraqi revolution took place. During this month, Brigadier Abdul
Karim Qasim led a group and captured power in Baghdad during a military
coup. Overnight young King Faisal II, the regent Abdul Illah, and prime
minister were murdered. This was the start to throw out European rule in
the Middle East.

The Iraqi revolution of July 1958', Roger Louis observed, 'was a
watershed in the history of the Middle East and the region's relations
with the West. It represented the overthrow of the old social and landed
order and the virtual end of the British Empire in the Middle East.
[Israel, the Great Powers, and the Middle East Crisis of 1958 ,Avi
Shlaim ,Journal of Imperial and Commonwealth History, 12:2, May 1999]

It was also this crisis in Iraq that seemed to threaten the whole
stability of the region. Even though Israel at the time had a policy of
non intervention, the trouble might spread. During this crisis, Israel
stepped to the forefront to help the western powers in this trouble. It
was because of Israel that Jordan at the time was able to be sustained,
as they were caught up in the trouble more so than other neighboring
countries. King Hussein later recalled of the incident:

"Suddenly, we found ourselves isolated, our oil tankers were caught up
in Iraq and couldn’t come through; the Syrian border was closed. Nasser
straddled both Syria and Egypt; the Saudis would not permit over flights
or the supply of food.... So we were totally cut off and we needed oil
and there was only one way: to fly across Israel into Jordan. We did not
have any direct negotiations over that. The British and Americans did
and we certainly appreciated it." [King Hussein, 3 December 1996.]

As we have followed the past, some fifty years ago to 1958, we find many
parallel events to today’s troubles. We again are in the Middle East
with the European powers and America involved in not only Iraq, but
Afghanistan. Again we are fighting others who want to overthrow the
social and landed order of the Americans and their allies. These
fighters are ‘al Qaeda’ and related groups. We find Israel in the news
again as the nation fights to survive by making peace treaties with its
neighbors, giving up land for peace. The Soviet Union is in the News as
the bear has made a recovery from the fall of the Berlin wall. Again
this nation has a strong leader, like before, this one, Putin has put
the chill back in the cold war so to speak. There is no doubt, there is
trouble brewing here for the US and the Soviet Union relationship.

We also have had reports over the years of UFO’s, but recent news has
brought us a major news event of UFO sightings in Texas and in Chicago.
The UFO disclosure project, propelled by Steven Greer has brought
forward hundreds of scientists, military men and women, and others to
testify of the veracity of UFO sightings. These events today are more in
the line with the Trinidad sightings, as once again we find history
repeated. We have more and more verifiable evidence of the existence of
some entity or life form which propels itself onto our historical radar
to bring us information from another world.

The computer age and the technological age are still in full bloom
today. What was just a Microchip before now has become the age of
computing. Today our knowledge has brought us smaller chips, faster
execution, and ability to run more with them. The society that was run
on man power and limited technology has now been replaced by the age of
whirring computers and ever increasing technological know-how. This
knowledge covers the spectrum of all the sciences. This knowledge has
brought man to the forefront of what he believes to be God hood, the
time that man can control his own destiny.

Yet for all of mans knowledge and ability, the problems still exist. In
1958, we had UFO’s and could not explain them. Today, it is still the
same. In 1958 we saw the implementation of the E.U., which today is
still a major force in the world. The EU has grown since then and has
considerable power and influence. What many to believe to be the last
remaining empire on Earth will come from this Union. Many bible scholars
refer to this time as the "Revised Roman Empire", which will be headed
by the ‘man of sin or perdition’, found in 2 Thessalonians 2. Fifty
years ago, the empire began, which many believe will control the end
time nations and their governments. Today we are still watching as the
monetary value, called the Euro rises against the American dollar. The
battle is on, who will win, history will record it, but only God will
allow it, and it will be in accordance with prophecy.

Many times man sees history repeat itself, yet he never learns, for the
adage says "he that does not learn from history, is doomed to repeat
it." So it is, many things that started 50 years ago are still with us
today. These are watershed events in history and their passing went
hardly noticed. Many today do not realize the true value of technology
and its uses to enslave the nations with the mark of the beast during
the end time. We enjoy so much today, yet we truly do not realize the
importance of men, nations, technology, and events. Events which are
heralded in the technological banks of history for all to learn from,
yet man seems barely able to quell unrest, wars, and violence, let alone
read and learn from the historical setting events that are recorded.

This tells us this for the year 2008. While these are not prophecies,
they are historical in nature and in themselves bring to forefront the
fulfillment of prophecy.

Watch for the following:

1. The economy and cost of living will be a major factor for most
Americans this year.

2. Watch for technological advances of a greater magnitude this year,
especially in computing, chips, and tracking.

3. Watch for an announcement of a UFO kind to take place this year, and
more spectacular sightings than ever.

4. The Middle East will continue to be on the hot spot of trouble, with
Israel and her close neighbors.

5. Watch the E.U. climb in more authority especially the financial
influence in the world.

6. Iraq will continue as will Afghanistan be in the news. It is not over
yet folks.

7. The ‘revised Roman Empire’ as some call it will continue to be
manifested, as more treaties will continue to be reached and fulfilled.
Such as the North American Union, SPP agreement, which is bringing
America in line with the one kingdom ruled by the ‘son of perdition’.

8. Watch for more from the Soviet Union. She will oppose the US in the
World, and will not step down any more. She will end up ‘biting the hand
that fed it so to speak’.

9. Watch more from NASA and the Deep Space projects. Along with this,
more from Space will be in the news and will follow prophecy as we watch
the end times unfold.

10. Watch for a major delusion to come upon America and the world. This
may start to unfold this year, and will continue to grow until the final
aspect of the ‘son of perdition’ fills his role.
