Israel Update with Jimmy DeYoung: 12/8/11 from Gary Stearman on Vimeo.

Here's a very interesting video from Gary Stearman's Prophecy in the News Today program. With all that's going on in the Middle East these days, with Iran and Syria and Russia, one can't help but wonder if this is setting up the Gog/Magog prophecies brought about in Ezekiel 38...

Mid-East Prophecy Update November 6th 2011.m4v

If we see the Gog/Magog war of Ezekiel 38-39 lining up right now and falling into place according to prophecy, and if this war must happen before the 7 year Tribulation (because Israel burns the weapons from this war for 7 years - Ezekiel 39:8-9), and the Rapture happens before the Trib, then how soon is the Rapture?

There isn't a prophecy teacher on the planet who doesn't think the Tribulation is right around the corner. Gary Stearman, Hal Lindsay, Perry Stone, John Hagee, Jack Van Impe, Jimmy de Young, Pastor JD... It's coming, folks. And not just because these guys "say so". Be a Berean and search the Scriptures. Find out for yourself.

Jesus is coming.

John Hagee - Jesus is Coming Soon

Folks, with the current talk about Israel striking Iran in the news today, this might just be one of the most powerful videos you'll watch by an end-times preacher.

Things could get real ugly real fast. Not only with the threat of Iran's nuclear weapons, but just today, Syria's talks with the Arab League fell through. The Middle East is going to ignite soon. It's just a matter of when. Christ is on His way, brethren.

PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM!

Mid-East Prophecy Update October 30th 2011

With the Pope's call for a one-world "Authority" and a world bank, coupled with Syria's Assad threatening an "earthquake" to any Western country who meddles in his affairs, things are heating up on the prophecy scene.

How Close Are We Until the Rise of the Antichrist??? FULL SERMON

This is an excellent sermon describing the times we live in now with all our economic failures world-wide. It's 33 minutes long, but watch it to the very end. GREAT sermon on just how close we might be to the unveiling of the Antichrist.

I especially love the beginning when he states that Christ is not a "lesser" Person of the Godhead, but Yahweh, the Father Himself. I have been learning from God this truth on my own, and in watching this video, I got a confirmation from Him that I never even asked for.

If you're unfamiliar with the idea that Christ is God the Father, don't poo-poo it right away. Please do some research on it and draw your own conclusions. The doctrine of the Trinity would have us believe that Christ as the Son is "lesser" than the Father or a separate entity or consciousness than the Father.

But Christ called Himself "I AM" on many occasions. He accepted worship from His Apostles. He forgave sins. He is the Creator. He has all power and authority. There is no other name under Heaven by which we must be saved. He is the Wonderful Counselor, Prince of Peace, Mighty GOD, EVERLASTING FATHER... If Christ as ALL THAT, then Christ is Yahweh. Not a part of Yahweh. But Yahweh Himself.

And THAT is why no man comes unto the Father but by Him. He quite literally IS the Father in bodily form. Mind-blowing, I know. Believe me, I'm still picking up pieces from my brain off the floor from this revelation.

~~Becka

Shocking End-Time Headline

I saw this yesterday and it shocked me.  The Pope is calling for a "global public authority" and a "one world bank".

http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/10/24/idUS264245887020111024

The Vatican called on Monday for the establishment of a “global public authority” and a “central world bank” to rule over financial institutions that have become outdated and often ineffective in dealing fairly with crises. The document from the Vatican’s Justice and Peace department should please the “Occupy Wall Street” demonstrators and similar movements around the world who have protested against the economic downturn.

So, this makes me wonder... Does the Pope NOT read Revelation??  Doesn't he realize that the Antichrist is the one who will oversee a one world gov't and the one world bank?

Obviously not.

I'm not saying the Pope is personally setting up the New World Order and the one world bank, however, doesn't it seem apropos considering the unstable economic times we live in, not to mention global protests and dictators falling like flies?

There's a clear, obvious "power vacuum" left behind from fallen dictators in the Middle East.  Perfect for "someone" to come in and take over.  I'm amazed the banks in Europe haven't collapsed yet.  I'm amazed no one has launched a missile at Israel yet.  Perhaps they're waiting until AFTER the vote to divide their land and give it to the Palestinians.

Assad from Syria has made it quite clear he'll bomb Tel Aviv if anyone thinks about interfering in his country's affairs. 

This world is hovering right on the edge of the drain and it's about to fall in, folks.  This declaration from the Pope is just a precursor to what will most likely happen if global economies and gov'ts continue to fail.

And if this happens, blow the dust off your Bible and read Revelation.

Middle-East Prophecy Update - October 23rd, 2011

Another great prophecy update from Pastor JD.

~~Becka

Are You Wondering if the Trib is Actually Coming?

Then read the following article.  Very eye-opening to what is coming upon this earth.

http://www.raptureready.com/soap/worline1.html

~*~*~

The entire world is on edge because everyone senses that something big is about to happen.  Christians know that either the Rapture of the Church or the battle described in Psalm 83 is about to occur.  Many Muslims in the Islamic world think their Mahdi is about to return.  Members of the New Age Movement look for the arrival of their Maitreya at any moment.  The ancient Mayans, various tribes of American Indians, Nostradamus, the notorious 16^th century soothsayer Mother Shipton, and Sir Isaac Newton have all predicted a series of cataclysmic worldwide disasters will occur around this time in history.  Even the chief ju-ju bead counters who write for the supermarket tabloids are predicting the return of “The King” (Elvis).

The Earth longs to be free of the curse it has suffered under ever since the original sin of Adam and Eve.  Jesus told us in Matthew 24:7-8 that His return would be preceded by upheavals in nature which He likened to the birth pangs of a woman about to give birth, increasing in intensity and frequency as the moment of the arrival of the child draws ever closer.

Has the frequency and intensity of earthquakes been increasing during the past decade?  Absolutely.  Has the frequency and intensity of violent and extreme weather been increasing?  Yes.  What about volcanic eruptions?  Famines?  Floods?  Droughts?  Not only is the answer to all of these questions definitely yes, but the increase in the frequency and intensity of all of these upheavals has been terrifyingly dramatic.

Around this time last year I was totally convinced that all necessary prophecy regarding the Rapture of the Church had been fulfilled and that it would occur at any moment.  At the same time I was a bit concerned that the final sequence of events leading to the Second Coming of our Lord was not quite ready to begin.  After all, while Turkey and Israel were not exactly best friends forever, they were, nevertheless, still buddies.  Ezekiel 38 tells us that Turkey and Israel are bitter enemies when the shooting starts in the Battle of Gog and Magog.  Egypt and Israel were also on relatively friendly terms a year ago, so how was the conflict described in Psalm 83 going to take place?  Besides, Israel did not have a great national treasure so why would Gog from the land of Magog invade Israel to capture spoil and seize plunder (Ezekiel 38:12)?  That was before enormous reserves of natural gas and oil were discovered beneath the nation of Israel.  And finally, about a year ago the Middle East was surprisingly peaceful considering all of the howling and the barking at the moon about war.  Threats flowed like water but in the end each nation seemed to prefer peace to the shedding of their own blood.  Where was the spark that would ignite the entire Middle East?  If nobody was willing to commit an overt act that would start a war then only spontaneous combustion could trigger the detonation, and that did not seem to be very likely.  That was a year ago.  It is amazing how much the situation has changed.

To get a better look at where we are along then timeline of the last days we need to take a look at the impending food crisis we are facing.  Today 1 out of every 6 people on this planet goes to sleep each night without getting enough to eat and 34,000 people die each day from famine related causes.  This is horrifying enough, but things are about to get a lot worse. 

China is the top producer of wheat in the world.  The droughts and dust storms in 2010 have been the worst southwestern China has seen in a century.  India is the second largest producer of wheat in the world and is suffering through a record heat wave and water crisis that has badly decimated their crops.  Russia is the third largest wheat producer in the world and accounts for 10 percent of total world output.  Last year massive wildfires stretched across 7 regions in Russia when temperatures reached their highest level since they started keeping records 130 years ago.  France is the fourth largest producer of wheat in the world and just recently lowered their wheat crop forecasts due to cold weather and drought.  Canada is the fifth largest wheat producer in the world and has suffered reduced grain production due to severe drought in their western provinces.  The Ukraine is the sixth largest producer of wheat and the top producer of barley in the world.  They have suffered from the same fires and drought that Russia has endured to the point they have suspended all of the grain exports for 2011.  Australia is the seventh largest producer of wheat in the world.  Flooding has covered an area in Australia equal in size to that of France and Germany combined, with water 30 feet deep in some places, destroying crops.  Pakistan is the eighth largest producer in the world.  In 2010 floods in Pakistan covered 17 million acres of their most fertile crop land and did not subside in time for farmers to meet the deadline for planting new seeds for the fall harvest.  In addition, historic floods and droughts have destroyed crops in the major grain producing areas of South America.   

During the winter of 2010-2011 snow fell in 49 of our 50 states here in the US where massive numbers of crops were wiped out.  While this was taking place South Korea destroyed millions of farm animals infected with hoof-and-mouth disease.  Honeybees and bumble bees continue to die off across North America further reducing food production due to lack of adequate pollination.  These are just some of the disasters that have recently occurred which will cause increased famines throughout the world starting right now.

If major worldwide food shortages are a very real possibility this spring then it could very well mean that the third horseman of the apocalypse is, even now, placing the saddle on the black horse and is preparing to ride.  If the book of Revelation is chronological, as I believe that it is, then the rider of the white horse (the anti-Christ) and the rider of the red horse, who brings war and destruction, are saddled up and preparing to ride out as well.  No wonder the entire world is on edge.

I find it difficult to describe, but it seems like there is a strong electric charge in the air that is causing anxiety around our planet.  Uprisings are springing up in every corner of the world.  People are spontaneously taking to the streets in Egypt, Tunisia, Libya, Bahrain, Algeria, Jordan, the Palestinian Territories, Yemen, Iraq, Iran, Lebanon, Kuwait, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Djibouti, Nigeria, Morocco, Mauritania, Sudan, Ivory Coast, Albania, Pakistan, Syria, Belgrade, Serbia, Croatia, and China.  Western mainstream media has attempted to explain these spontaneous uprisings as a longing for freedom and democracy by the oppressed nations of the world, but this reasoning seems a bit hollow and empty.  Something far more complex, and I believe supernatural, is taking place and it is incredibly powerful.

The intangible fear of impending calamity has pushed the levels of violence all over the Earth to an all time high.  Never in the history of the world has both the crying for peace and the screaming for war been so deafening.

Gold is at an all time high because people no longer have any faith in the dollar.  People are stockpiling food and they are buying guns out of fear for the future rather than fear of crime.  For many months ammunition manufacturers have had a difficult time keeping up with demand.  Something really big and really bad is about to happen and people all over the world can feel it coming.

The world economy is far too deeply in debt to recover and is teetering on the brink of collapse.  The world banking system is a house of cards that is being artificially propped up by its own bankrupt members.  A collapse is long overdue and when it does finally come the result will be cataclysmic.  On that day somebody will be standing in the wings who will pick up all of the broken pieces and will put them back together in a single worldwide system that everybody will be required to belong to in order to conduct even the simplest of transactions.  Financial irresponsibility will be a thing of the past because each transaction, no matter how large or small, will be tracked in real time by one central system.  Identity theft will no longer exist.  Everyone will access the system using biometric identification in (or on) their own body. 

In the past atheists didn’t believe and didn’t care.  Now they all seem to be rabidly obsessed on a mission to eliminate every trace of Christianity and Judaism, yet nobody seems to feel compelled to stamp out any other religion.

Religious persecution has increased in frequency and intensity to the point where 

Christians are fleeing for their lives from the entire Middle East, as well as other parts of the world.  Over the past few decades the Moslem world seemed to be relatively content to live and let live as long as Christians did not disparage Allah or Mohammad.  Now it seems there is an ever increasing determination to kill every Christian and eliminate all traces of our history and even all traces of our very existence.  The Islamic community at times almost appears to be frightened of us Christians and of what is about to happen in the world.

When Paul told us that in the last days immorality would increase and that men would become lovers of men, he was not exaggerating.  In the past immorality increased in a subtle, almost coy manner, like a cancer silently spreading through the body of its host.  However, in recent years the intensity of immorality has multiplied itself many times over and with a shocking viciousness.  Homosexuals, lesbians, and transsexuals are so proud of their sin that they march in the streets demanding to be recognized as a special, privileged class.  We have actually reached the point where it is literally a crime to say (or even imply) that homosexuality is a mental disease or defect.  The Bible tells us that in the last days good will be called evil and that evil will be called good.

Is it just me, or has filthiness become the accepted norm in far too many places where just a short time ago it was not only considered vulgar, but also unacceptable as well?  Even more disturbingly, has the viciousness of which these perversions are being forced upon us increased dramatically?  I believe they have and I sense that something really big is about to happen because of it. 

All of the signs that we are in the last days and that the Second Coming of our Lord is near are not only here, but many of these signs have intensified immensely.  In every direction we look we see the writing on the walls.  So, what should we do about it?  Stockpiling gold, food, and .44 magnum jacketed hollow point ammunition is not the answer.

The first thing we should do – the most important thing we should do - is to be absolutely certain that our reservation has been make to be in heaven with our Lord and Savior for all eternity.  This requires an admission that we are sinners, a faith in our Lord that He is the only path to God and that He is the one and only Savior of the World, and a request in which we must go to Jesus in prayer and ask Him to be our Savior.  Nobody can ever get to heaven by being a good person and there are no good deeds that will get us there either.  Missing out on such a wonderful gift would be incredibly tragic, especially when such a beautiful gift is free.  Time is rapidly running out.  At the instant of death our eternal fate is sealed.  Our time here on this Earth is precious, but it is a gift.  There is no guarantee that we will still possess life here on this Earth a moment from now.

The second thing we should do is to use the time that we have remaining to make sure those around us will be going to heaven as well.  Far too many people believe they will be saved because they consider themselves to be a good person and/or because they go to church on Sunday.  Spending eternity in hell for this mistaken belief is so horribly tragic that it is beyond description.

And finally, I believe that we desperately need to tell people that heaven is a real place that actually exists, and that hell is also a real place that actually exists.  Salvation is a free gift and the opportunity to choose our fate ends at the moment of death.

In the latter portion of 1999 the world was gripped with a paranoid fear that the computers of the world would somehow cause worldwide disasters when the calendar rolled over to the year 2000. We called it the Y2K event.  Everyone felt a sickening dread that these disasters would be of Biblical proportions.  Nothing happened.  Now the intangible fear has returned and it is far stronger than it was before.  What will be the final outcome this time around?

Mid-East Prophecy Update October 16th 2011.m4v

Another prophecy update from Pastor JD. Things seem to be tense between Syria, Iran, the U.S., and Israel. If/when the shoe drops, will we soon see the fulfillment of Isaiah 17:1?

~~Becka

Urgent Prophecy News

Wow, I didn't know they got all the votes they needed. Indeed, things are getting more and more tense as the days go on.

We don't know the day or the hour, but it's pretty clear that Psalm 83, Ezekiel 38, and Isaiah 17:1 are all lining up to be fulfilled in the near future. Including Joel 3:1-2...

Bible prophecy couldn't happen until Israel became a nation once again. It doesn't matter if 100 generations lived and died thinking THEY were the ones at the end of days. WE are the only generation for almost 2,000 years to see Israel reborn, their desert blooming again, and their language revived (the only time in history this has happened to an ancient, scattered nation, mind), fulfilling a whole HOST of prophecies in Isaiah about Israel's rebirth, as well as Ezekiel's "valley of dry bones" prophecy.

And now, we see Turkey and Syria in tense relations, with Syria threatening Israel if they're attacked. We see Iran getting bolder, putting a fleet of ships off American waters AND trying to assassinate Saudi Arabian diplomats on U.S. soil just today! The economies of the world reeling and general unrest across the globe (Arab Spring/London Riots/Occupy Wall Street). And all the countries of the world are against Israel right now to give the PA their land...

You're just blind if you don't see prophecy all around you. If we're close to God bringing the nations of the world to the Valley of Jehoshaphat for dividing up His land (Joel 3:1-2/Armageddon), then how soon is the start of the Tribulation, folks? And if the Trib is soon to start, how soon is the Rapture?

Rosh Hoshanah has come and gone but don't give up your hope!! We know by the signs Jesus is coming soon. God is not "late". The date of His coming was planned long before this world was ever created. And while RH was a high watch time for the Rapture, it doesn't negate the fact that Christ is coming. Keep an eye on Israel. Events that happen there will tell you how soon we are to flying away to Glory.

But until that day, we MUST live for Him, edifying and bringing in His Bride. Amen? The harvest is ripe, but the workers are few...

As we get closer to the UN vote to divide Israel in favor of a Palestinian state, I decided to post a lovely song of Psalm 121, sung both in Hebrew and English. It's an oldie but a goodie, and I have many fond memories of this song from my youth.

Turkey Breaking Ties With Israel: Prophecy

Israel is our timepiece for Biblical prophecy. If you see what's happening to Israel, then you can know where you are according to Bible prophecy.

Why the Rapture of the Church Has To Happen Before the Seven Year Tribul...

Here's part 6 of Pastor JD's sermon about why the Rapture has to happen Pre-Trib. In this teaching, he's a little "coughy", however, the message is very good about how we must always be ready. He goes into the parable of the 10 virgins, the wise & wicked servants, and the wise and wicked stewards, found at the end of Matthew 24 and on into Matthew 25.

~~Becka

Is the Rapture a Christian Guarantee?

I'm not sure if the Rapture is for all Christians, or only for some Christians as this man suggests. I believe in God's grace, and that works have no part in salvation. However that's not what this man is saying. He's postulating the Rapture is a GIFT to those who love His appearing, not a GIVEN for every "worldly" Christian.

But his argument about loving Christ is one I agree with. We should be so very IN LOVE with Christ, regardless. He needs to be first in our lives, first in our hearts, and we should LIVE WHAT WE BELIEVE. 100%, no excuses. If we call ourselves "Christians", we need to live as Christ lived and love as Christ loved.

Anything less is not worthy of the sacrifice He made. If you think that statement is arrogant, then it's arrogant. The Son of the Living God LEFT HIS THRONE and CHOSE to live a peasant's life to DIE a torturous death for YOUR sins because He LOVED YOU so very much. He didn't have to, you know. He could have let us all perish. He's God, after all. But He CHOSE to do so.

If you don't return that love with at least some spark of passion for your Bridegroom, will you be taken at the Rapture? Is the Rapture only a gift for Christians who love their Lord as a Bride should love her Bridegroom? I don't know. You don't know.

But I'm not willing to gamble on it.

Are you?

Iran's Threats to Israel & Ezekiel 38

This is an eye-opening report from Gary Stearman's Prophecy in the News program about where the Middle East is in relation to prophecy, specifically the prophecy in Ezekiel 38.  This is the prophecy where Gog/Magog comes against Israel in the end of days, along with Persia (Iran).  Things are heating up and we can no longer ignore this.  Is the Day of the Lord almost upon us?

Palestinians Set Date for Statehood Showdown at UN

http://www.jpost.com/DiplomacyAndPolitics/Article.aspx?id=233625

September 20th is the day the UN will vote if Palestine becomes a state.

When Christ gave His parable about the fig tree in Matthew 24 and Luke 21, He was speaking of Israel.  Israel is often seen as a "fig tree" throughout Scripture.  Christ mentioned in Matthew 24:32-33:

“Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near.  Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it is near, right at the door."

This parable is talking about the rebirth of Israel as a nation.  They were scattered in 70 AD after the Romans leveled their second temple and only became a nation again just recently, in 1948.

Therefore, when Israel begins "sprouting" again -- meaning, becoming a prosperous nation, you know the end is near, even at the doors.

What's interesting about this parable is the fact that Jesus never mentions the "pruning" of the fig tree as a sign to watch for His Coming.  And God's land (Israel, the fig tree) is about to get pruned to make way for Palestine.

Could we be taken out beforehand?  I don't know, but you cannot deny it will be interesting to see how everything goes down in the next 5 weeks...

A Study in Thessalonians - Prophecy in the News

The Rapture Conspiracy from Gary Stearman on Vimeo.

This program goes into the meaning behind the original Greek text Paul wrote in Thessalonians. Does "apostasia" mean "falling away" or "departure"?

It matters because it vastly changes the meaning of the text.

Why the Rapture of the Church Has To Happen Before the Seven Year Tribul...

This is Pastor JD's Sunday sermon so it's a few days old, but I decided to share it because I haven't been doing too many updates recently. Not that there haven't been things happening around the world. Hello, world economy!!! Hello, London riots!! I've been rather overwhelmed as of late to update on those things, but please note that the birth pangs are getting stronger and closer together.

If Turkey or Syria decide to attack one another, there will be a huge war in the Middle East, which will probably devolve into a world war. Famine and drought are prevalent on just about the entire continent of Africa. The heatwave in America continues. The stock markets in several countries are crashing. Volcanoes all over the world are lighting up. There's just about a 6.0 or greater earthquake somewhere in the world every single day.

Messiah is coming. Trim your lamps and make sure you have oil.

Israel Willing to Negotiate on Borders

Israel is willing to negotiate on borders in dramatic policy change:

JERUSALEM — In a dramatic policy shift, Israel's prime minister has agreed to negotiate the borders of a Palestinian state based on the cease-fire line that marks off the West Bank, a TV station reported Monday.

Up to now, Benjamin Netanyahu has refused to spell out his plan for negotiating the border. A senior Israeli official would not confirm outright that the prime minister was now willing to adopt the cease-fire line as a starting point, but said Israel was willing to try new formulas to restart peace talks based on a proposal made by President Barack Obama.

In a speech about the Middle East in May, Obama proposed negotiations based on the pre-1967 line with agreed swaps of territory between Israel and a Palestinian state. Netanyahu reacted angrily, insisting that Israel would not withdraw from all of the West Bank, though that was not what Obama proposed.

Now Netanyahu is basically accepting that framework, according to Channel 2 TV, offering to trade Israeli territory on its side of the line for West Bank land where its main settlements are located.

The official, who has been briefed on the talks, spoke on condition of anonymity because the contacts are still in progress. He said he would not deny the TV report, while refusing to confirm the specifics.

"We are willing in a framework of restarting the peace talks to accept a proposal that would contain elements that would be difficult for Israel and we would find very difficult to endorse," he said, answering a question about the Obama proposal.

Part of the reason, he said, was that Israel is seeking to persuade the Palestinians to drop their initiative to win U.N. recognition of their state next month, something the Palestinians are doing out of frustration with stalled peace efforts.

Palestinian officials said they had not received such a proposal from Israel.

Palestinians have demanded that Israel stop construction in its West Bank settlements and east Jerusalem before peace talks resume. Netanyahu wants talks with no preconditions where issues like settlements and borders would be discussed, along with his insistence that the Palestinians recognize Israel as a Jewish state.

The cease-fire line that marks the West Bank dates to the 1949 end of the two-year war that followed the creation of Israel. It held until June 1967, when Israel captured the West Bank, Gaza Strip and east Jerusalem, claimed by the Palestinians.

Palestinians and most of the world consider the 1967 lines a border, while Israel has always held that it was just a temporary truce line that does not dictate the location of the border.

Previous Israeli governments have accepted the cease-fire line as the basis for talks, and the two sides came close to agreement twice in the past decade before talks broke down over other matters.

Thorny issues like sharing Jerusalem and the fate of Palestinian refugees would remain after the border issue is resolved, but U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton has said that setting a border would defuse the explosive settlement issue by determining which of the enclaves would become part of Israel and which would not.

In the absence of an agreement to return to negotiations, the Palestinians are moving ahead with their U.N. recognition initiative. While a vote in the General Assembly would be symbolic and not legally binding, the Palestinians believe any international endorsement will isolate Israel and improve their position if negotiations resume.

Palestinian officials said Monday they plan to begin mass marches against Israel's occupation of the West Bank on Sept. 20, the eve of the U.N. vote.

Palestinian official Yasser Abed Rabbo said leaders hope to attract millions, and the protest will be the first of a prolonged effort. He said the campaign would be called "Palestine 194," since the Palestinians hope to become the 194th member of the United Nations.

"The appeal to the U.N. is a battle for all Palestinians, and in order to succeed, it needs millions to pour into streets," he said.

Wow.  I never thought I'd live to see the day.  The birth pangs are going to get harder and stronger now.  They already have.  Famine and drought is spreading like wildfire all over Africa and the earth is experiencing a 6.0 or greater earthquake every single day.

Why the Rapture of the Church Has To Happen Before the Seven Year Tribul...

Bible Study for Pre-Trib in the Book of Romans

I felt impressed by the Lord to read a bit in Romans today during my prayer time.  I've read the book many times, but like you do with Scripture, you can read a verse over and over again and not understand it until the Lord opens your eyes.

There is a verse in Romans 5:8-10 that states this (emphasis mine):

But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him! For if, while we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life!

 A lot of naysayers of the Rapture believe it to be a "cop-out" for Christians not to endure the hardships to come.  It is an "escapist's" way of hoping God will miraculously pull them out of danger, and those who put their hope in it are deluding themselves.

No, it is not a lofty idea or a hope for something that will not happen.

Paul clearly states here that Christ died for us WHILE WE WERE YET SINNERS.  Meaning, we were all going to Hell until Christ stepped in.  We were reconciled to Him for eternal life when we were yet enemies of God.  But we are no longer enemies!!  We have been reconciled!

Therefore, BECAUSE of that reconciliation, how much more will we be SAVED from God's wrath through His life (resurrection)??

Remember, God never promised to keep us out of PERSECUTION.  But He has ALWAYS promised to keep us out of His WRATH.  These are two different scenarios.  Persecution is the evil of this world, the hatred and scorn the worldly unbelievers have for Christians.  But the wrath of GOD is a punishment upon all mankind for their sins.

Since WE, being Christians and redeemed through Christ, are set apart for Heaven's Glory, God will therefore NOT send US through His wrath to come.

We were REDEEMED to Christ while we were yet enemies of God through His death on the cross.

And we are SAVED through Christ's resurrection (His life) from the wrath of God.

I think this Bible verse, more than any other that mentions keeping believers out of God's wrath, explains it clearly by using our redemption at the cross while we were still sinners.  Christ's death redeemed us, and His life saves us.  Amen and amen.

Are You Receiving Rapture Flack or Is It Just Me!?

Watch this video if you have the time. It's about 15 minutes long, about a fellow Christian kind of "ranting" on other fellow Christians' attitudes toward the Rapture.

Ezekiel 38, Where is America in Prophecy?

Here is this week's prophecy update from Pastor JD Farag in Kaneohe, Hawaii. It is very eye-opening with regards to who are the players in Ezekiel's prophecy in chapter 38. He also asks the big question -- where is America in end times prophecy?

6.0 Earthquakes Are Now Up To One a Day

This is crazy. Not only has the earthquake activity gotten more frequent (that was possible?), but the intensity of the earthquakes has grown so that there is now, somewhere on the planet, a 6.0 or greater magnitude every single day.

We shouldn't be shocked by this, however. If these are indeed the birth pangs Christ mentioned (which I believe they are), they will get stronger and closer together as time goes on, just as a woman who labors gets stronger and closer contractions before she gives birth.

Keep looking up.

Palestinians May Turn Directly to the General Assembly to Avoid U.S. Veto

http://tinyurl.com/3w3mmxn

Wishing to avoid an American veto at the Security Council, the Palestinian Authority is considering turning directly to the United Nations General Assembly in September in order to gain international recognition of Palestinian statehood. 

Palestinian sources and European diplomats say that the Palestinians will give up their effort to be accepted as a full member of the UN - a move that would require approval by the Security Council - and will seek instead recognition by the General Assembly of a Palestinian State within the 1967 borders, which will not be a full member of the organization.

If the P.A. does this, they will definitely be a state in September.  If they give up their right to be a full UN member, they will at least be recognized as their own separate state.  And with the Quartet adjourning on July 26th to determine if they should seize Jerusalem and parts of Israel, it looks like things are heating up, folks.

Still Think Jesus Isn't Returning Any Time Soon?

How much worse does this world have to get before Christ's Second Coming?

Israel and Jerusalem will likely be divided

Global Drought

Arab Spring

Massive Disasters (snows/flooding/tornados/wind/earthquakes/volcanos)

Global Financial Crisis

Global Food Crisis

Threat of war - perhaps nuclear

Signs in the Heavens

Say what you will, but the Four Horsemen are about to ride.  Famine is coming.  With the floods in America's heartland combined with the droughts world-wide, it won't take long to get here.  A financial crisis worse than the Great Depression is on the horizon.  War in the Middle East is one misstep away.  Dictators are falling like flies in the Middle East.

The time is ripe for one man to rise up and solve the world's problems.  To confirm a 7 year covenant with Israel.  Who will implement a one world economy.  Make people take a mark so they cannot buy or sell.  And ultimately, worship him as the God of gods.

The Tribulation is coming folks.  If you can't see the black, roiling clouds on the horizon then you're a sleeping blind man.

And if we can see the Tribulation is so very close, how much closer is the Rapture of the Church?

Get your heart right with God.  NOW.  There is no time to waste.  Especially if the "covenant with many" spoken of in Daniel 9:27 is the peace treaty between Israel and Palestine...

Have You Dreamt of a Meteor and/or a Meteor Shower?

I frequent a few Rapture forums around the Internet, and there's a trend going on in these communities.  Many people are dreaming of meteors.

In fact, I myself had a dream of a meteor.

The dreams of others include either a single meteor, a shower, one hitting the moon, one breaking up the moon, and one hitting the space shuttle, forcing it to return to earth.  Since Atlantis is the last shuttle mission, a lot of Christians are watching the final launch later this month to find out if their dreams are just dreams or if they're visions from the Lord.

My own meteor dream was about 5 to 10 seconds long.  It was sandwiched between two nonsense dreams I don't remember.  But this dream was very vivid.  I was hovering above the earth, but close enough to not be able to see the entire planet.  I was on the dark side of the earth, so the sun was in front of me and the night-side of the planet was facing me.  A huge, fiery meteor streaked underneath me and plunged toward the planet.  Since I was in space, I heard no noise.  And that was it.

Many people have had dreams of meteors destroying buildings, falling into the ocean, or streaking across the sky.  And in extreme cases, a handful of people have dreamt of the moon being cracked or broken apart by something huge slamming into it.

I don't give *too* much stock to dreams because they aren't substantial.   However, I can vouch for my OWN dreams, and I know I've been given MANY from the Lord since January, I just haven't logged them here on this blog (because they are only dreams).  Perhaps I'll start a thread of the dreams I've had recently.

But I thought I'd ask my readers if any of you have had any recent dreams of meteors, the moon, or the space shuttle Atlantis.  Let me know in the comments.

Last Push for Peace before July 15th

I know this article is almost a week old, but I've been camping with the family and things have finally settled down after returning, putting everything away, and conquering the mountain of laundry. :)

Here is an article I found on Haaretz.com regarding the Quartet, and their meeting in Washington D.C. on July 11th as a last-ditch effort to revive peace talks before the PA starts the statehood process with the UN on July 15th.

http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-defense/u-s-eu-to-present-mideast-peace-plan-in-last-push-to-prevent-palestinian-un-bid-1.370082

This is definitely something to watch in the coming days.  If this falls through, then "Palestine" might strong-arm its way into becoming a nation in September.  Abbas has already called Obama out, reasoning that if the President wants Israel to accept the 1967 armistice lines as the starting point to peace, then there should be no reason to veto the Palestinian state in September.

Whew!  We'll see where this all leads...

Chrislam is an Abomination

If your church is reading from the Qur'an this weekend (6/26), DO NOT ATTEND THEIR SERVICE. 

http://www.nowtheendbegins.com/blog/?p=5441

Chrislam, the mixture of Christianity and Islam, is all in the name of tolerance.  But what most Christians don't realize is the God of the Bible and Allah of the Qur'an are NOT the same God!  Yahweh is loving and gracious, while Allah is vengeful and bloodthirsty.  The Bible proclaims Christ as the one and only Son of God -- the Qur'an denounces Christ as the Son of God, as Allah would not defile Himself with a son.

The above link gives a list of all the churches who are reading/preaching from the Qur'an this Sunday.  If your church is on this list, do not attend and consider finding a new church.

I am of the belief Chrislam could be the apostasy spoken of in 2 Thessalonians.  Christians are abandoning the true Gospel and following a man-made Christ, all in the name of tolerance.  Do NOT defile God's Son this Sunday!

I also think the birth pangs are going to get stronger after this happens.  Churches participating in this Chrislam abomination should be ashamed of themselves and repent.

God is NOT pleased.

The Love of the King - A Poem

I haven't written a poem in a very long time.  Tonight, I felt like writing one, as a praise to Jesus.  I wanted to portray His love, and how deep it is for us.  Hopefully I conveyed that.  :D  Enjoy!

~*~*~


The Love of the King

Long before the universe was spoken into light
long before the day was separated from the night
The Creator God foreknew it all and said, "I have a plan
for that wicked, sinful, selfish being known to Me as "man".

"For I love him and his offspring more than he'll ever know
yet when he dies he'll have no peace, to Hell his soul will go.
Therefore I must step in and stop it, for I want him here with Me
But the price of this peace is high--I must be nailed to a tree."

So God the Father sent the world His one and only Son
To teach us how to live and to show what must be done.
But the rabbis and the priests had Him hung upon a cross,
and the men the Son had loved surely thought that all was lost.

But Yeshua HaMashiach, having the keys to hell and death,
returned to His lifeless body and took another breath.
In that moment, Satan screamed, for Redemption had been won
As all Power and Authority belongs solely to God's own Son.

Now the sinful, selfish man was covered by God's Grace
And he had no need for fear to look upon God's face.
But even though God's Grace is a gift He gives for free,
the sinful selfish man must choose, "Christ is the way for me."

He must turn away from his wicked ways, repenting of his sin
For God wants him to live a holy life, seeking only Him.
Now his soul is bound for Glory, flying up to Heaven,
He's seen as perfect in God's eyes, even though his flesh has leaven.

This is the mystery that confounds us, the very Love of God,
that our King stepped from His Throne, and among our flesh He trod.
And His Church faithfully follows Him, with no hate or lust or pride
Because the King is now our Bridegroom, and we, His spotless Bride.

All of Heaven is preparing for the Wedding that is to come
And God the Father will decide when all is said and done.
Then Christ, our Beloved, will again stand up to leave His Throne,
Yet this time He'll gather those He loves, and bring His Bride on Home.

Amen!  Come, Lord Jesus!

It's So Hard To Be a Watcher

Those of us who watch for Christ's return have a few things in common.  First, we have a profound love and thirst for Bible prophecy.  We've studied it most of our lives.  Some of us have always been interested in Revelation.  Others may have read a book on prophecy that got them interested, or heard a sermon on the end times.

But one thing is for sure.  A watching Christian is different than one who is asleep.  Why?

Watchers, 9 times out of 10, are alone in their vigil for Christ.  They have no one in their circle of family or friends to talk to about the End of the Age, whether or not their close circle is full of other Christians.  These other Christians acknowledge that Jesus is coming again, but that day is a vague "someday", not "today".  They give the excuse "No man knows the hour or the day."  Or they're content to live their lives and let the Rapture happen when it happens.  What's the point of "watching" for it when you can't know the hour or the day?

Some even question the legitimacy of the Word of God itself, claiming you need to be fluent in the original Greek and/or Hebrew to understand the texts at all.  It's been translated so many times that the meanings are now lost or watered down.

But these "other" Christians have no idea what it's like to be a Watcher.  Watchers are merely obeying our Lord.  Jesus TOLD us to watch!  When Christ prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane in the Book of Matthew, He told His Apostles to watch.

Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. “Couldn’t you men keep watch with me for one hour?” he asked Peter.  “Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”  ~~Matthew 26:40-41


Okay, so that Scripture wasn't specifically about the End of the Age.  However, in the same breath that Christ said, "No man knows the hour or the day", He ALSO said this in Mark 13:32-37:


“But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.  Be on guard! Be alert! You do not know when that time will come.  It’s like a man going away: He leaves his house and puts his servants in charge, each with their assigned task, and tells the one at the door to keep watch.

“Therefore keep watch because you do not know when the owner of the house will come back—whether in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or at dawn.  If he comes suddenly, do not let him find you sleeping.  What I say to you, I say to everyone: ‘Watch!’”

(Underlining is my own emphasis)

So you see, Christ told us to WATCH!!  You cannot stick your head in the sand and say, "No man knows the hour or the day."

WAKE UP, CHURCH!!

In 2011 alone:

We've had an epic winter with record snows.

Earthquake swarms all over the planet.

A giant tsunami from an enormous earthquake took out a nuclear plant in Japan (which is still spewing, btw, with no end in sight.)

RECORD tornados in America.  Not just in sheer numbers, but also intensity.

Record flooding all over the planet.

Record drought all over the planet.

Pestilence -- A new EColi strain broke out just recently, as well as locusts invading Russia, Australia, & China.

Obviously, nations are in turmoil in the Middle East.  Tensions are high surrounding Syria.  Iran is threatening any country that attacks Syria.  If Turkey decides to engage and Syria/Iran/Russia retaliate, NATO gets involved.  That region could light up into WWIII so fast your head would spin.  And let's not worry about high tensions between China and the US or Pakistan and the US.  Or the fact that our President apparently doesn't need to go before Congress to make acts of war.

Volcanos are going off left and right, all over the planet.  Even supposed dead ones in Africa that haven't blown in 39,000 years.

HUGE solar flares.

Earth's magnetic field is weakening and moving toward Russia.

Extremely rare solar and lunar eclipses. (Of which the 100 minute blood-red lunar eclipse today was a "bullseye" eclipse, directly over Jerusalem.)

A supermoon and many planetary alignments and conjunctions.

Comets that will approach VERY close to earth come September.


Mass animal deaths.

And let us not forget the fact the ENTIRE WORLD is trying to divide Israel and Jerusalem.  This is a BIG no-no, and anyone who claims to have read their Bible should KNOW THIS.  Read Zechariah 12 for a refresher.

How can anyone not see that Christ is returning, and VERY soon?  "I am coming quickly" does not mean some vague "someday."  It means when this stuff begins to take place, LIFT UP YOUR HEADS for I'm coming quickly!!  Faster than you know!

Over and over, the Bible says to be alert and watch.  Do not let that day overtake you like a thief, for we are sons of the light, not sons of the darkness, so let us not be like the others, who are asleep, but let us be awake and sober.  ~~1 Thessalonians 5

Claiming not to study prophecy because you don't know the original Greek and/or Hebrew is just an excuse, because you DON'T WANT TO STUDY IT.  God is God.  He spoke stars and galaxies into existence.  He knows how many grains of sand are on our planet.  And you think He didn't have a hand in guiding the different translations of the Bible over the millenia??  Seriously?  Your God obviously isn't as mighty as my God.

Another reason Watchers are set apart is because they have an overwhelming love for Christ.  Watchers LONG for their God.  Not necessarily because they have horrible lives or need an excuse for an escape or they are bored of this or that, but because they have a special love for their Creator.  We want to know all there is to know about Him.  We seek Him daily, twenty-four hours a day.  To live is Christ, to die is gain.  ~~Philippians 1:21

I believe Watchers are on fire for God, like John the Apostle or King David.  These were men God Himself said "were men after His own heart."  That is the definition of a Watcher.

It is hard, staying awake in this sinful world and keeping watch for our Lord.  Jesus knows this, which is why there is a special crown set aside just for us, the Crown of Righteousness.

Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.
~~2 Timothy 4:8



"I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown."  ~~Revelation 3:11

If you're a Watcher, you are richly blessed.  Don't let anyone tell you you're a fool for watching.  Don't let anyone tell you everything is "normal" on this earth.  Keep looking up, wash your robes, and pray continually!  Our Lord Jesus is coming sooner than anyone thinks.

Hidden Messages in the June Christchurch Earthquakes

This is amazing. I follow this guy on You Tube, and he has many more videos of other earthquakes, starting with the one on June 2nd, which happened to be the Day of Ascension, at the ASCENSION ISLANDS. What he does is he takes the information from the quakes, time of day, depth, magnitude, and the triangulation locations and matches those numbers with the numbers in the Strong's Concordance.

What he's found is many, many hidden messages.

Obviously, this kind of thing is for your discernment, but since I've been watching most of his videos, it's amazing as to how detailed these "messages" are that he's found.

Personally, I think something BIG is going to happen on or around June 15th. That's the date of the extremely rare "bull's eye" blood red moon over Jerusalem. It will be one of the longest eclipses of the 21st century, lasting 100 minutes. It is also in the middle of two extremely rare solar eclipses, one on the 1st of June that was a midnight eclipse at the North Pole, paired with an awesome planetary conjunction. The second solar eclipse will be on July 1st, seen from the South Pole.

In one month, you have the top of the world darkened from a solar eclipse, the middle of the world darkened from a lunar eclipse (only visible in the Middle East) and the bottom of the world darkened by another solar eclipse.

I, personally, do not believe in coincidence. God is the ultimate Master and Ruler of His universe. And anything having to do with Jerusalem, His holy city, I sit up and take notice.

Did you know there will be another 100 minute blood red "bull's eye" lunar eclipse over Jerusalem in July of 2018? SEVEN years later?

Hmm. Are these eclipses book-ending something?

And if they are, could it be possible, however crazy it sounds, that God the Father is sending us obvious warnings with earthquakes in places like "Christ's Church" and the "Ascension Islands"?

LET'S SHOUT TO JESUS TO RETURN!!

EVERYONE!!  PLEASE READ THIS!

JUNE 10TH, my friends and I on the Rapture in the Air Now forum will be PRAYING TO JESUS in one accord, asking Him for His SOON return.  If you would like to be a part of our prayer as one to Christ, here are the times around the world:

> Where 2 or more are gathered....
>  Pacific time                   2pm    10 June
> Mountain Time                 3pm    10 June
> Central                             4pm     10 June
> Eastern                             5pm     10 June
> UTC                                  9pm    10 June
> British (London)             10pm    10 June
> Central Europe (Paris)    11pm    10 June
> Eastern Europe           midnight    10 June
> Australia & Singapore        7am    11 June                       
> New Zealand                     9am    11 June

Prayer can be as short or as long as you want.  The point is for a short, sweet shout to Jesus.  You don't have to shout, but we're all so joyful for His return, I don't know why you wouldn't!

Suggested prayers:

JESUS, I LOVE YOU!  COME QUICKLY!!

LORD, DELAY NO LONGER.  PLEASE RESCUE YOUR BRIDE!!

THE SPIRIT AND THE BRIDE SAY COME!!  AMEN, COME, LORD JESUS!


Maybe this is what Revelation 22:17 was talking about!!  :D  We're only a small portion of the Bride, but I do not believe that makes any difference.  We are the Body of Christ, praying as representatives for the others.  We are the WATCHERS of the Body!

HE WILL HEAR US!!

Don't forget -- set an alarm for yourself in your time zone.

The Mystery of Pentecost

http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/may2011/stevene521.htm

This is a fascinating article.  Most watchers like myself wonder if Pentecost is indeed a time to watch for the Rapture.  I guess we'll know soon enough.  On Jewish calendars, it's June 7-9.  On Christian calendars, it's June 11-12.  If this IS the day, no one is sure *when* Christ will descend in the clouds.  But that's okay, because no one knows the hour or the day.

But obviously, we know the season.  And if we can narrow it down to a small window of time, then hallelujah!

Many Bible scholars have wondered why, on the Feast of Pentecost, do the Jewish priests wave two loaves of bread before the Lord, both with leaven?  Leaven is the "picture" of sin.  Many now believe the two leaven-loaves are a "picture" of Messianic Jews and Christians together caught up to stand before God in Heaven.

Some interesting points about Pentecost --

1.) God gave the Law to Moses on Pentecost
2.) God gave His Grace and the Holy Spirit to Christians on Pentecost
3.) Scholars believe Christ will Rapture the Church and RETURN TO LAW for the 70th week of Daniel on Pentecost.

Why?  Well, because Enoch was a "picture" of the Church.  Remember, in Ecclesiastes, nothing is new under the sun.  Time is cyclical, with patterns, and this is how God works.  He doesn't do anything without first telling His prophets.

Enoch was BORN AND RAPTURED on the same day of Pentecost.  He was saved from Noah's flood by being taken to Heaven bodily in a whirlwind.  Many believe since he was a "picture" of the Church, therefore we will be Raptured on Pentecost as well, and God will turn His countenance back upon Israel after we're gone, and place them back under the Law.  Then the Two Witnesses will appear in Jerusalem.

Read the article above.  It goes into the "picture" of Christ and His Bride in the Book of Ruth and further explains the Rapture on Pentecost theory.

It makes sense.  God gave both the Law AND His Grace on Pentecost.  In order to begin the 70th week of Daniel, He would have to return to the Law by removing the Church.  We all know God works in patterns.  Keep your eyes open folks.  If the Rapture happens this year, it could be Pentecost...

THAT'S MY KING!

Hallelujah, that's MY King!

The Danger of Not Discerning the Times

I like this guy. He points out that Christ called the Pharisees of his days "hypocrites", meaning, they could discern the face of the sky (bad weather) but not the sign of the times, even though they were learned men, steeped in Scripture and prophecy.

Therefore, we, too, must discern the times and get ready to meet Jesus. The only thing holding you back is the fact that you're not "ready". I'll tell you something right now. Jesus is coming! Get READY!

Ready or not, He still comes.

According to Ahmedinijad, the 12th Imam Emerging on June 5th

http://pajamasmedia.com/blog/ahmadinejad%E2%80%99s-team-expects-arrival-of-12th-imam-on-june-5/

Everything I've heard/seen/read on this Mahdi character from Islam, also known as the 12th Imam, sounds uncannily like the Antichrist. 

Read the article above.  It's two pages long--I want you to read both pages.  Not only is Ahmedinijad trying to bring about the Mahdi, but he's also trying to bring on the....Rapture?  What?

From what I've heard/seen/read in different teachings, the President of Iran believes the Rapture of the Christians will "rid the world of evil".  Also, in order for this Mahdi to reign in glory, Ahmedinijad needs to bring war to Israel and destroy her.

Well, if Ahmedinijad is a better prophet than Harold Camping, perhaps we should be wary about June the 5th...

Here we go, the latest prophecy update from Pastor JD in Hawaii! Just as the PP Simmons video in the previous post, he goes in to all the natural disasters that have followed one of our leaders demanding Israel divide her land. Very interesting and thought-provoking.

These storms are not coincidence.

Do Not Touch the Apple of God's Eye

As Christians, we sometimes forget or arrogantly assume Israel is no longer God's chosen people. But the promises God gave to Abraham cannot be undone. Christ did NOT abolish God's Word to Abraham. Christ gave us a new covenant of in place of the Law under Moses. But God did NOT negate His promise to Abraham, to give him LAND, to give him DESCENDANTS, and to give him BLESSING & REDEMPTION.

Just because God has grafted the Gentiles (us) onto the Chosen People (Jews) does NOT mean they are no longer His people. He fights for them, not because they deserve it, but because He promised it, and God's promises are eternal. He is not a liar.

A lot of people ask me why I believe we're living in the last days. One of the BIG reasons is because bad things happen when the world does bad things to Israel. And dividing up their LAND that God PROMISED ABRAHAM is a very BAD thing...
