The Conspiracy in Christian Religious Education has to do with secretive private interpretations of the Books of Daniel, Micah, Matthew chapter
24 and the Book of Revelation, which was written some time by John
after the death of Yeshua.
This is how I see that conspiratorial side : QUOTE:
The picture of the puzzle is now very complete, said Founder of Endtime
Ministries, Irvin Baxter, during his March 22, 2006 Coast to Coast interview
www.coasttocoastam.com...
According to him, there is a prophecy in the bible that says that the final
7 years period will begin with an event called "the confirmation of The
Covenant", the covenant the God made with Abraham 4.000 years ago.
The Bible teaches that the world community and the Antichrist will confirm
the Covenant with Israel for the 7 year period. The confirmation of the
Covenant has to do the 3 things. It has to be the international agreement,
it has to be about the status of the Jerusalem and the borders of the Holy
Land.
In June 2003 president Bush signed the "Roadmap for Peace" which deals
exactly with this items and its validity was confirmed in the September of
the same year by word community in the United Nations. Was this the
confirmation of the Covenant? Mr. Baxter is not sure, but he is sure that
the war that kills 1/3 of the mankind and that is was to begin in the area
of the Euphrates river, which appears to be in progress right now, has to
be over and done before the final 3 and 1/2 years, when the great tribula-
tion begins.
******************
Let me tell you why this is >ALL< wrong, why there is no easy out for
presumed people "in the know."
There have been five Covenants, not two. There was a Covenant with
Adam (defaulted) and a Covenant with Noah (which Judaism acknow-
ledges was satisfied). God YHVH operates by Covenants, always has.
So, now, wherever we are in the stream of Bible-time--where is Israel
with respect to Her Covenant with YHVH : ?? Is Israel a Covenanted
law-abiding Theocracy? Woops.
In default.
Where is Christiandom with respect to the Covenant with Yeshua,
given that the major powers of the world OPERATE WITHIN the boun-
daries and metes of Christiandom? Is Christianity as a way of being
caring for widows and orphans in their tribulation and keeping without
spot from the world? (James 1:26; Matthew chapter 5-8)
In default.
Where is Islam, given the Qu'ran's LITERAL sense of Covenant -- to
keep one's promises and remain without sin? (Five prayer-times per
day toward Mecca isn't part of that; doesn't count as Law-Abiding
Behavior, as we have been taught about Law-Abiding behaviors.)
In default.
We are all in default. All this war-mongering and posturing and siding
with this side and that side is merely Satan's strategizing, Divide and
Conquer, "I'm righter than YOU, and we're righter than THEMl!"
We are all in default. We are destroying this planet, chemical-by-
chemical and death-by-death.
We are in default, because we are not caring for those in distress
and suffering; and keeping "without spot" from the rapacious, greedy
world.
If we ruin this planet, we do not belong to Her and She will vomit us
out of Her mouth--ice cubes, or toast, or crisped, gone, as mammoths,
with food still in their stomachs.
The exercise called "Har-mageddon" is a distraction from our mandates :
all three who claim to be in Covenant with God : Jews, Christians and
Muslims. None of us are keeping the Faith, as a whole.
Oh well.
And the religious conspiracy theorists will not save us from ourselves.
It's God's choice since He is the Contractor on the Contract that we
Jews, Christians and Muslims signup up for; He's the Sovereign, and
not we ourselves. There's no easy, cheap "out."

That's my take on it.
