AIDS 150 Million by 1991 is there any hope?  by Dr. Jack Van Impe             
   The epitaph of the twentieth century may be, "They gained their
rights except the right to live." This was my opening statement on
nationwide special, "The AIDS Cover-up."

   Furthermore, I state, "The Statue of Liberty may become the most
expensive tombstone in history between 1993 and 1997." Why? Recently
U.S. NEWS AND WORLD REPORT stated, "If there is not a cure for AIDS
within the next thirteen years, tens of millions will die."

   Today, 30 million Americans are being judged -- not by a flood, as
in Noah's day, but by a vile loathsome disease, called Herpes Simplex
II. The total may reach 50 millon in the near future, and once one has
herpes, they have it for life. Also, herpes and other venereal diseases
may be the initiators or instigators of the AIDS disease.

   Presently, herpes in minor compared to AIDS. In the future, American
and the entire world may face the greatest plague in history as
millions upon millions die. The World Health Organization predicts that
100 million will be infected with the AIDS virus by 1991. They add that
if it begins its deadly spread throughout the Orient and South America,
the number infected may reach 150 million with forty-eight months. In
America alone, there will be 15 million victims.

   World leaders are stunned. One stated, "Thirty-five years from now,
in 2020, the last human could be expiring on this from AIDS."

   It looks like the Tribulation Hour is just around the corner. There
is no doubt in my mind that the AIDS epidemic may fulfill the prophecy
of Revelation 16:10, 11: And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon
the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they
gnawed their tongues for pain, and blasphemed the God of heaven because
of their pains and their sores.

   The plague has already begun. Mankind is already crying out, The
thing which I greatly feared is come upon me (Job 3:25), and My skin is
broken, and become loathesome (Job 7:5).

   And worst of all, 2 Chronicles 36:16 states, The wrath of the Lord
arose against His people till thee was no remedy. It's here. How
astonishing to hear doctors say, "You have AIDS and there is NO REMEDY."

   I believe that AIDS is the final plague mentioned in Revelation 6:8,
in which one fourth of the earth's population is destroyed through the
"beasts of the field." Since medical experts believe that the AIDS
virus passed from monkeys and sheep to humans through biting and
BESTIALITY (sex acts with animals), we see God's prophecy becoming a
reality in our generation!

   I personally believe that today's lust, lewdness, and licentiousness
indicates that Christ's return to judge the world is near. Why?

   Revelation 9:21 describes earth's inhabitants prior to Christ's
appearance or return to earth. When He comes, debauchery reigns as the
immoral refuse to repent of their fornication, adultery, and
homosexuality through live-in relationships, one night stands, visits
to massage parlors, prostitutes, and gay bath houses. The sign is with
us! Jesus is coming soon!

   IS THERE ANY HOPE?

   Be like Moses. He decided to obey and follow God. He refused to
enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season (see Hebrews 11:25). He made
his decision centuries ago. Presently he enjoys his eternal reward.

   Some of us are like Moses, others are not. If not, is there hope for
the fallen? Yes, beloved friend, and what I am about to say is
exceedingly precious. Nothing I have said thus far can equal that next
statement.

   HEAR ME.

   While AIDS blood contaminates others -- the blood of Jesus Christ,
God's Son, cleanses from all sin (see 1 John 1:7). When our Saviour
shed His precious efficacious blood upon Calvary's cross almost twenty
centuries ago, that blood flowed to make the vilest offender of God's
laws clean. I don't care what you have done, how often you have done
it, how wicked, abominable, hideous, heinous, degraded, depraved,
distorted, or defiled your sin was or is -- hear me. The blood of Jesus
Christ cleanseth from all sin. This is so because He loved us and
washed us from our sin in His own blood (see Revelation 1:5).

   Can you be forgiven? Listen: God so loved the world that he have his
only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish
but have everlasting life. Will you come to Calvary today? Will you
repent-- change your mind about your lifestyle? Will you cast all your
past and present sin upon Jesus? He longs to save you today, precious
friend. If you want to be cleansed from the past--if you want your sins
obliterated and liquidated--if you want a new beginning--free from the
hang-ups of the past--if you want to be saved, forgiven, cleansed, born
again--then pray this simple prayer now...

   "FATHER, I'M A SINNER. THANK YOU, JESUS, FOR SHEDDING YOUR PRECIOUS,
HOLY, SINLESS, UNTAINTED BLOOD FOR ME. I RECEIVE YOU NOW AS MY SAVIOR.

   COME INTO MY HEART. IN JESUS' NAME AMEN."
