Sexton MCL, the lone landfill in McLean County, accepts no out-of-state waste. Neither does Tazewell Recycling and Disposal of East Peoria. The 7-2 decision struck down Oregon's practice of imposing a disposal fee for out-of-state solid waste and an 85-cent fee for waste generated in the state.

The differing fees unfairly interfere with interstate commerce, the court said. Disparate rates are not justified just because in-state businesses with garbage to dump pay some regulatory and disposal costs as part of their general state taxes, the ruling noted. By Pantagraph staff The ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court requiring comparable fees for in-state and out-of-state garbage won't have any impact on Central Illinois landfills because they don't accept trash from outside their own areas. The court, further frustrating states' efforts to avoid getting garbage from other states, ruled Monday that disposal fees for out-of-state trash can't be higher than those for in-state trash.

It is our prayer that all know what the Bible says about man-made peace.

"While people are saying 'peace and destruction will come on them suddenly (1 Thessalonians 5:3, Jeremiah We represent no church nor do we have any books to sell; just a burning desire to point the lost to Jesus Christ, your Lord and Savior. (Romans 3:10, 3:23, 5:12) How Near Are We to Christ's Return? JESUS GIVES US A CLUE as to the time, or season, of His return in the book of Matthew. He refers to Israel as the fig tree and tells us when Israel once again becomes a nation, as they did on May 14,1948 after nearly 1900 years of scattered exile, this generation shall not pass without witnessing His return. We are living in that era now (Matthew The book of Revelation, written by John on the Isle of Patmos, contains detailed prophecies of the events surrounding Christ's return, many of which are being fulfilled every day. For.

example, John foresees an army of 200 million advancing from the East. China now has that many. According to Revelation 16:12, this army will cross the Euphrates River on dry ground. In 1990, Turkey built a dam which could make this possible. Earthquakes, plagues, weather changes and a falling away of the churches are all occurring as prophesied.

Christians look up your redemption draweth night You can expect perilous times from now until the end. As for the time of His return, no man shall know the day or the hour, but we should all heed the signs. Paul says in 1 Thessalonians "Let us not sleep as others do but watch and be sober." Whether you believe it or not, God has set an appointed time with destiny which cannot be evaded or postponed. Since the turn of the century we have seen world wars, civil wars, famine, communism, dictatorships, terrorism and the collapse of family values. It has already started to happen and will get much worse.

The good news is you can have faith in Jesus, who shed His blood for all mankind and who promises eternal life (Romans His promise is found in 1 Thessalonians The Thrilling Promise From Jesus Tor the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel and with the trumpet call of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and we shall forever be with the Lord. Wherefore, console one another with these words." How the Establishment of the New World Order Fulfills Prophecy SCRIPTURE FOREWARNS THE REVIVAL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE as a sign that end-time events are in motion. The result will be a One World government, One World economy and One World religion. Read Daniel 2,4,7 and 9. The New World Order which world leaders so enthusiastically herald will be led by ten nations.

A charismatic leader will arise and take control of this confederacy by confirming a peace covenant between Israel and many nations. (Daniel 9:27) He will be the antichrist. A False Messiah. The Bible says this man will be mighty and perform miracles. If possible, even the very elect will be deceived (Matthew With the calamity surrounding the establishment of this new world order, (read Ezekiel 38 and 39), peace and prosperity will reign for 3.5 years.

Then all hell will break loose. The antichrist will set himself up in the Jewish temple as God. The ensuing 3.5 years of tribulation will be so severe that few will survive. The good news is, the church of Jesus Christ will be spared from the seven year reign of the antichrist and false prophet. All born again Christians will be with Jesus during this period and then return with Him to triumph at the final Battle of Armageddon (Revelation 3.10-11).

Jesus will then establish His kingdom on earth for 1000 years (Zechariah 14). Beware of New Age philosophies and cults trying to deceive. The Bible warns of these; "therefore, test the spirits and make sure they are of God." New Age thinking leaves no room for the atoning sacrifice Jesus made on the cross for you. Instead, they teach that you yourself can achieve christ consciousness or become Godlike. They believe that in the year 2000 they will usher in a New Age kingdom and rule.

Furthermore, they admit this cannot be done without first removing Christians from the world, a process wickedly referred to as 'spiritual Dear Christian bothers and sisters, stand firm in your faith. The Countdown Has Started THE EPISTLE OF BARNABAS AND MANY OTHER EARLY CHRISTIAN WRITINGS TAUGHT there would be 6000 years of man's unjust self-governing then a 1000 year Millennium in which Christ would rule. Victorinus, Bishop of Petau, wrote in around A.D. 270; "the true and just Sabbath should be observed in the seventh Millennium of years. Wherefore, to those seven days the Lord attributed to each a thousand Peter 3:8 and Psalm 90) The antichrist will rule for seven years.

(Daniel 9:27) If a peace pact is confirmed soon, where does that place the Rapture of the church? Where does that leave you? If you are left on earth during the seven year reign of the antichrist (False Messiah), do not accept the mark of the beast, the number 666, or you will be condemned eternally to hell. (Revelation We are living in the most critical time in the history of the world. The proliferation of nuclear weapons, ethnic tensions and aggressive behavior are out of control. As a spiritually reborn Christian, you have nothing to fear. You can be with Jesus during the terrible rule of the antichrist and then return with Christ when He sets up His kingdom, where all is peace and harmony.

If you think this article is a fairy tale, read Revelation chapters 13,14 19. How Can You Be Sure You Are Ready? MY FRIEND, JESUS DID IT ALL ON THE CROSS, without the shedding of His blood there would be no redemption (Romans Jesus said; "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." (John 14:6) Christ also told Nicodemus; "you must be born again to see the kingdom of God." (John 3:3) Become born again today and live your life for Jesus and spend eternity with the Lord. The Rapture is near, Jesus could come today! Our prayer is that you will be ready and that multitudes find the narrow path that prepares them for this final event. Read John 3:16.
