WAYW002 www.waywardpress.co.uk FOR MATTHEW The original soothsayer
Introduction Welcome to The End Times Diary 2008 – a revelatory day-to-day planner for the year ahead. Aimed at the fundamentalist Christian who knows that the world is coming to an end, this book will help you prepare for the apocalypse, the rapture and the eventual return of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. For those of you unfamiliar with Biblical prophesy, we thought it wise to produce this little primer to help you understand exactly what it is that we’re all facing. Be under no illusions – the end is indeed nigh. Rather than fearing the End of Days, however, you should embrace the change as it will eventually lead to the second coming of the Messiah. WHAT ARE THE END TIMES? The term ‘End Times’ refers to a sequence of events prophesied in the book of Revelation. In general terms, it deals with the end of the world, fall of humanity and the rule of Satan over the earth. SOUNDS BAD! Yes and no. Bad in the sense that life as we know it will become unimaginable torment, but good in the sense that it will lead to the return of Jesus Christ in order to guide his people to salvation. SO – GOOD IF YOU’RE A DEVOUT CHRISTIAN, BUT BAD FOR EVERYONE ELSE? Exactly. So now’s the time to get yourself into church! Don’t put it off! You don’t want to be left behind when the Rapture comes! THE RAPTURE? WHAT’S THAT? The Rapture is the blessed event whereby God brings up all the true believers into Heaven. This isn’t some theoretical flight of the soul – our bodies will be literally plucked up off the earth and lifted up to the Kingdom of God. KIND OF LIKE THE TELEPORTER IN ‘STAR TREK’? Yes. Although that kind of flippant attitude isn’t very helpful.
SO WHEN DO THE END TIMES BEGIN? Well, unfortunately we don’t have the exact date, but all the signs are that it’s coming soon. You only need to look at the state of the world to realise that things are getting worse – Godlessness all around, war, famine, atheism and the intrusion of autocratic government. Rather than let people fend for themselves, we’ve created this diary. Inside you’ll find all sorts of activities, advice and warnings about how to survive the End Times. WHAT SHOULD I LOOK OUT FOR? As well as the weekly activities, you should look out for these icons on specific days. These Hot-Spots indicate that significant events may well take place and that you should be extra-vigilant.

The Beware The Beast warns you to be aware of Satanic activity. These days have been calculated using a complex numerological process and are scientifically predicted to have a high level of demonic activity. Be on your guard whenever you see this symbol. The Possible Departure symbol indicates a date that could very well be the start of The Rapture. While none of us knows exactly when it will happen, it’s just possible it could be on one of these days, so make sure you’re prepared. The Birthday icon marks the birth date of a significant figure connected to the End Times. While this doesn’t necessarily mean anything, it’s a good reminder to say a prayer, send a card or do nothing at all.
IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO TO PREVENT THIS ALL FROM HAPPENING? No. And why would you want to? The End Times is a glorious event that will be the redemption of the righteous. Stupid people will argue that caring for the environment, changing our political processes and working to end war will help mankind, but we know that the only path to salvation is utter destruction. It’s God’s will, dummy!

New Year’s Resolutions for the Righteous
Yes, we’re all more pious than the next man, but all of us could use a little improvement, surely? Here are a few suggestions for resolutions that will mean you don’t just take part in the Rapture, you fly up there first class! Convert at least one Jew/Muslim/Hindu/Sikh/Atheist to Christianity Vow to speak only in tongues for the whole year Stop spitting in the potato salad at the monthly church picnic ‘Out’ a vicar, so they can’t sneak into heaven through the backdoor Cut back on the whoring Stop thinking about the neighbor’s babysitter in that way Tell wives about each other’s existence

The Trouble with Tribulation Obviously we’re all looking forward to the Rapture, but you should be aware of a little thing called the Tribulation - a time of great suffering in which Christians will suffer persecution and degradation. Opinion varies as to whether the Rapture will occur before, during or after the Tribulation and it can be argued that your position as a pre, mid or post-tribulationist depends largely on your perception of God. Pre-Tribulation
Mid-Tribulation
Post-Tribulation
God is a loving entity who wishes to protect his children from harm
God is a stern father who knows that suffering can lead to enlightenment
God is a mad bastard who doesn’t give a damn about anyone but himself

(Added to which, it may be the last chance you have to tell someone how you really feel before they’re consumed in righteous hellfire.) It’s not just liberals...
I Wuv You this much ...who have bleeding hearts
LOVE THY GOD

Dear Academy of Motion Picture ‘Arts’ & ‘Sciences’, I shall not be watching the ‘Oscars’ this year, due to your continual refusal to acknowledge JESUS with so much as a nomination.

Back up, Bacchus In Ancient Rome, March 16th-17th marked the Bacchanalia, a series festivals dedicated to the god of Hedonism. Legend has it that these debauched affairs were so scandalous that they were eventually outlawed by the Roman Senate. Their influence can still be found in popular culture today, however, and if you find yourself having depraved urges on these dates, be sure not to give in to them. Having vodka for breakfast may seem like a good idea, but the hang-over will be nothing less than apocalyptic. Keep in mind that your place in heaven is at stake here, and that there’s little time for repentance as the End Times draw ever nearer. Bear that in mind if you feel the urge to download the Paris sex tape, sniff glue or make obscene finger gestures to the vicar’s wife. Don’t give in to the urges and the Dionysian cravings will pass.

Buy two rabbits, keeping the existence of one of the rabbits secret Nail one rabbit to a crucifix of your own construction Wait for rabbit to die Bury rabbit in garden Wait three days Present children with second rabbit Cry hallelujah!

Planning Your Vacation It may seem frivolous to take time off when there’s God’s work to be done, but perhaps you could combine business and pleasure by visiting one of the following destinations and spreading word of the Apocalypse! Rebuilding a synagogue on the Temple Mount is one of the key precursors to the End Times, so why not head to Israel and add your voice to those of the thousands of Muslims and Jews screaming at each other? Alternatively, perhaps you could travel to communist China and spread the Christian gospel to those atheistic reds. They’re sure to be receptive and the food is great! Or for the really bold, spread the End Times message to poverty-stricken Africa. The best thing you can do for poor people is to tell them there’s no point thinking about tomorrow. Here’s your chance to really make a difference!

The Thrifty Fundamentalist It’s not easy being righteous, and Heaven knows it’s not always cheap. Here are a few tips to help you stretch your budget. •
Buying books just to burn them is an expensive habit, so why not take advantage of your local library? It’s what it’s there for, after all!
•
Instead of throwing store-bought Eminem CDs onto the bonfire in front of Tower Records, why not create your own from MP3s downloaded off the internet? Just surf, burn and burn again!
•
New moral outrages seem to happen every day. Rather than making new placards each time you protest, simply use a dry-erase whiteboard to express your indignation time after time.
•
Don’t bother with over-priced bottled water. Take a canteen to church and fill it from the font. It’s free and pure!

A Declaration of Independence
Obviously, July 4th is a significant date in US history, but with the way America is heading, you might be wise to sign your own declaration of independence - from the godless, warmongering USA.
UNIVERSAL DECLARATION of INDEPENDENCE from the USA We hold these truths to be self-evident, that not all men are created equal and that as God’s chosen ones we are endowed by the Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Armageddon. We find that the present administration has forsaken the charge given unto them by God and we therefore declare ourselves to be an autonomous nation, apart from the misguided folly that is these United States of America. We hereby sever all bonds, covenants and contracts with the Federal Government of the United States of America and invoke a state of free autonomy from said oppressors.

Advice for the pregnant Christian
As you know, the unbaptized cannot enter the kingdom of Heaven, so it’s imperative this happens as soon as the child is delivered. We recommend using a birthing pool and having a member of the clergy on stand-by. With a few prayers and an extra dunk in the water, your baby will be a member of the church before the umbilical cord is cut. Then you can wait for the rapture, secure in the knowledge that little junior will fly up there with you. Alternatively, put the little bugger up for adoption and let it fend for itself.

As a good Christian woman, you obviously know that the apocalypse could start at any moment and while you’re praying for this to happen, you’re understandably worried about what will happen to your child.

When The Looters Come... DO
DON’T
Realise that the safety of you and your family is far more important than any of your possessions
Try and convince the looters that your children will fetch a better price on the open market than your flat-screen TV
Barricade yourself in the most secure room of the house
Shut yourself in the fridge with a shotgun
Remember the exact placement of any traps you lay
Expect Home Alone style hi-jinks from said devices - it will be brutal
Call the police
Call the looters’ parents
Pray for the looters’ salvation
Appeal to their sense of fairness

The Eye of The Needle
If you’re a well-off Christian, you may occasionally wonder about that troublesome bit in the Gospels about rich men entering heaven. Matthew 19:24 states “And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.” and the sentiment is repeated almost verbatim by Mark and Luke. If you’ve made a good life for yourself on Earth, does that mean you should be punished in the afterlife? Absolutely not! The Space Needle in Seattle is God’s gift to America’s wealthiest citizens. Standing at an impressive 605 feet high, the mighty Space Needle has room for even the most bloated camel to pass through it’s ‘eye’ and is conclusive proof that God loves American millionaires. Hallelujah!

Flood Warning Atheistic scientists may say that increased flooding is due to global warming, but we know that it is God’s divine retribution upon us for buying expensive bottled water. But how to prepare for the floods? Force children to wear lifejackets at all times. They say they’ve been going to swimming lessons, but do you really want to risk it? A freestanding bathtub (properly plugged) makes an excellent makeshift canoe.
A jet-ski may seem like a frivolous purchase, (particularly if you live in a tower block), but when the deluge arrives, you’ll be the envy of all your neighbors! And for the full ‘Noah Experience’, why not convert your garden shed into a mini Ark? Two of every beast may be a squeeze, though...

The Satanic Dinosaur Conspiracy Atheistic ‘scientists’ often cite the existence of dinosaurs as a means of discrediting the creation story and the Garden of Eden. Fortunately, most Christians know the truth - namely that dinosaurs were created by Satan to deceive mankind about its true origin and create doubt in the Almighty Father. But few are aware of the fact that dinosaurs are not actually extinct and in fact currently live in secret among us. Able to make themselves appear human when needed, these Satanic emissaries are the secret puppet-masters of the modern world, occupying positions of power across the globe. No government is safe from infiltration and the dinosaurs are hell-bent on the persecution of good, moral believers like you and I. So next time somebody tells you not to picket the abortion clinic, take a long, hard look at them. They might just be a dinosaur...

cinataS syawla t’nera segassem sdrawkcaB Like any good Christian, you probably only ever listen to popular music backwards so that you can check for evil hidden messages. Here are a few which eschew Satanism for something more positive. “Obey your parents. Do your homework. Winners don’t do drugs.” from the ‘Are Friends Electric’ LP by Information Society “What are you looking for the devil for, when you ought to be looking for the Lord?” from ‘Judas Kiss’ by Petra “She’s worried about you, call your mother.” from ‘Michael’ by Franz Ferdinand “Hello, how are you? I’m fine, ‘cause I know that the Lord is coming soon,” from ‘Darling Nikki’ by Prince “Annuit Cœptis, Novus Ordo Seclorum” (“God has favored our undertakings”) from ‘Heavy Metal Poisoning’ by Styx

Republican nominee
A smart East-coast liberal who tells you that you are wrong and scolds you for buying a Hummer
A folksy southern guy who tells you what you want to hear and then gets a hummer from his secretary
Wants to spend American money on foreigners and crack-heads
Wants to spend American money on foreign wars and mercenaries

Better to freeze on Earth than burn in Hell Winter will be in full effect by the time you read this, but rest assured that this is all part of God’s plan. That doesn’t mean that you don’t have to protect yourself from the cold, however, so here are our top tips for staying warm this December. •
Burning books is a great way to generate cheap heat.
•
Don’t waste money insulating the loft - simply buy enough lagging to cover your body and you can wear your insulation wherever you go!
•
Don’t be tempted to drink alcohol to warm up - it actually lowers body temperature and exacerbates the situation.
•
Rubbing goose fat on your body is an excellent way to keep warm, but it will mean you smell like Colonel Saunders.
•
Family pets can easily be converted into cosy fur pelts.

Who is this Santa guy anyway? Sadly, most people nowadays believe Christmas celebrates the birth of Santa Claus rather than Jesus Christ. Idolatrous worship of this ruddycheeked fat man has led to the commercialization of the most sacred feast in the Christian calendar. With this in mind, we urge you to fight the cult of Father Christmas by passing on these tidbits to any children you meet. • • • • • •
Santa wipes his bottom on every third present he puts under the tree His ‘elves’ are in fact pygmy love-slaves purchased on the internet The fact that he ‘loves children’ but has to sneak into their houses at night is because he’s a registered sex offender During the off-season, Santa uses his house-entry skills to steal drugs from hospitals Mention that the suicide rate in the Arctic circle is staggeringly high And the fact that ‘Santa’ is an anagram of ‘ Satan’ is no coincidence.

Happy Birthday Jesus!
It’s Jesus’s birthday and he’s throwing a party in heaven. The good news is that you’re already on the guest list, but here are some handy hints to ensure you don’t embarrass yourself on His special day. • Dress humbly - the Lord isn’t interested in bling, so kick off those diamond sling-backs and get yourself some hand-made sandals. • By all means BYOB, but don’t expect Him to transform water into wine. Brandishing an Evian bottle and demanding he transform it into Chardonnay will only make you look cheap. • Gifts should be thoughtful, but not flashy. Bear in mind that all the bookshops and Virgin Megastores have been destroyed in the Apocalypse, so vouchers are a no-no. • Don’t try to get off with Mary Magdelene, no matter what you may have heard about her past. • Leave when asked. God’s bouncers don’t let anyone mess with the Big Man and lingering too long will see you ejected down below.

Still here? Why not order

Using the Book of Revelation as its basis, The End Times Diary prophesizes the events that will lead to the Rapture, Tribulation and Second Coming of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Week-by-week, The End Times Diary lays out everything you need to know: when the devil is at his strongest, potential troublespots, survival techniques and handy hints for the fundamentalist Christian. Be under no illusions: The end IS nigh!
