11 Examples That Show That We Are Truly Living In Very Strange Days

 11 Examples That Show That We Are Truly Living In Very Strange Days - by MichaelSnyder - https://endoftheamericandream.com/11-examples-that-show-that-we-are-truly-living-in-very-strange-days/ Every day, we are literally being bombarded by news stories that indicate that the world that we live in is going completely nuts. We are constantly having to deal with unprecedented politicalchaos, economic turmoil, escalating global conflicts, frightening pestilences and historic natural disasters. I find myself using the word “chaos” a lot these days, because that is what we are witnessing all around us. Yesterday, I shared some really crazythings that have taken place within just the past week, and today I have an even longer list of really crazy things to share with you. The following are 11 examples that show that we are truly living in very strange days… #1 It is being reported that an unidentified celestial object that is more than 27,000 times largerthan Earth is traveling through our galaxy at approximately a million miles per hour… A “UNIQUE” celestial object has been caught hurtling through space at one million miles per hour – so fast it may leave the galaxy, according to Nasa. The colossal object – roughly 27,306 times the size of Earth – was spotted by citizen scientists who were analysing data from Nasa’s WISE telescope. So far, scientists have not been able to tell us what this object is or where it originated. But everyone agrees that this is a really big deal. The “citizen scientist” that first spotted this object was amazed that nobody had discovered it previously… “I can’t describe the level of excitement,” said Martin Kabatnik, a citizen scientist from Nuremberg, Germany. “When I first saw how fast it was moving, I was convinced it must have been reported already.” #2 An extremely rare “doomsday fish” was just discovered near the coast of southern California,and there is a lot of speculation about what this could potentially mean… Kayakers and snorkelers exploring the Southern California coast spotted an extremely rare oarfish, nicknamed a “doomsday fish” since they are seen in some parts of the world as harbingersof imminent disasters. It’s one of less than two dozen confirmed sightings of an oarfish in the state in over 120 years, according to UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The oarfish is a “strikingly large, odd-looking fish” with a long, silvery, ribbon-shaped body, according to the Ocean Conservatory. The fish can grow to more than 30 feet long, and have largeeyes and “foreboding” red spines in a crown-like cluster. Typically, these fish are deep-sea dwellers and thrive in waters that are the least explored by scientists. #3 Did you know that mastodons once roamed the plains of Iowa? I didn’t either, but apparently theydid… Archeologists in Iowa believe they have unearthed an ancient mastodon skull dating back to when the first humans were roaming the Earth. Discovered in the southern part of the state, the find is Iowa’s first well-preserved mastodon, according to the University of Iowa’s Office of the State Archaeologist. Scientists and localcommunity members recently undertook a 12-day excavation at the site, which yielded “several mastodon bones,” primarily from the skull. #4 According to Not The Bee, an absolutely gigantic statue of a Hindu deity has just been unveiledin Houston, Texas… This can’t be good. A Hindu temple just unveiled a statue of their demonic Lord Hanuman … in Texas. It is being reported that this statue is 90 feet tall. So if you are 6 feet all, this statue is 15 times taller than you. Apparently it is now the tallest statue of this particular Hindu deity in all of North America… According to the temple’s website, the statue is now the largest image of Lord Hanuman the monkey god in North America. Lord Hanuman is said to be a loyal servant of the god Rama, and one of literally millions of gods recognized in Hinduism. #5 It is being reported that the Secret Service is investigating an allegation that during a recentTrump campaign event in North Carolina a female agent actually abandoned her post in order to breastfeed her baby… The Secret Service is investigating a report that a female agent reportedly left her post at a Trump campaign event in North Carolina to go breastfeed. The Secret Service acknowledged the allegations and issued a statement to Fox News Digital stating that an investigation was underway. “All employees of the U.S. Secret Service are held to the highest standards. While there was no impact to the North Carolina event, the specifics of this incident are being examined. Giventhis is a personnel matter, we are not in a position to comment further,” a spokesperson for the agency said. #6 In Illinois, a massive outbreak of oak leaf itch mites is “creating plague-like conditions allover the state”… Illinois saw what was described as a “biblical” arrival of cicadas earlier this year. In early to mid-May, millions of periodical cicadas began to emerge from the soil in northern Illinoisfor the first time in 17 years, creating plague-like conditions all over the state. Although the winged critters have stopped wreaking havoc on the city’s streets, there’s a sting in the tail. Speaking to NBC, cicada expert Dr Gene Kritsky said: “A particular mite known as the ‘oak leaf itch mite’ can be seen in vast quantities following a cicada emergence.” #7 A video that was posted by an unnamed farmer on social media is creating quite a stir. He saysthat aluminum levels in his soil are far higher than usual, and he claims that his heirloom seed crops are “failing”… American Farmer says he’s tested his soil and it has 5x the amount of aluminum it used to have. The GMO seeds grow fine, all his heirloom seed crops are all the sudden failing For those that have watched his video, do you believe him? It will certainly be interesting to see if any other farmers come forward with similar accounts. #8 As if we didn’t have enough deadly diseases to be watching for, now the CDC is warning that “parvovirusB19” is something that parents in the U.S. should be concerned about… A respiratory disease known as parvovirus B19 is on the rise in the U.S. among all age groups, according to a recent advisory from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The CDC issued the health alert on Aug. 13 after European public health authorities reported “unusually” high numbers of cases in 14 countries during the first quarter of 2024, the advisorysaid. The virus typically causes a blotchy rash on the cheeks that appears as if someone has slapped them — hence its nickname, “slapped cheek disease.” #9 Do the Chinese know something that we don’t? It is being reported that they have been conductingwidespread “emergency infection disease response drills”… In recent months, local health authorities have conducted emergency infection disease response drills across China. On Aug. 15, Dingxi City in Gansu Province, a district in Yancheng City in Jiangsu Province, and Lingchuan County in Shanxi Province carried out emergency drills for the outbreak of “pneumoniaof unknown cause,” according to an official notice. A staff member of the Gansu provincial government’s health hotline told the media on Aug. 15 that the national-level authorities had ordered officials in 10 provinces to conduct emergent infectiousdisease drills by the end of August. #10 During an interview on Sunday, the president of Belarus claimed that Ukraine invaded Russianterritory because they are trying to get the Russians to use nuclear weapons… Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko claimed in an interview posted on Sunday that Ukraine’s invasion of Russia is an attempt to “push” Moscow to hit it with nuclear weapons. “Such escalation on the part of Ukraine is an attempt to push Russia to asymmetric actions. Let’s say to use nuclear weapons,” he said in an interview with local outlet Rossiya, accordingto a translation by BelTA. “I know for sure that Ukraine would be very happy if Russia or we used tactical nuclear weapons there. They will applaud it.” Let us hope that the Russians keep their cool, because once nuclear weapons are used all of our lives will dramatically change. #11 Meanwhile, the Russians continue to take more territory in eastern Ukraine. In fact, we arebeing told that the Russians just captured the city of New York… Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has once again admitted the situation in Ukraine’s east is “difficult” amid a continuing Russian troop advance in the Donetsk region. He said this Tuesdayas Moscow announced the capture of the key town of New York, or Niu-York. The defense ministry hailed the fresh capture of “one of the largest settlements of the Toretsk agglomeration,” calling it a “strategically important logistics hub.” It sits just south ofthe large industrial town of Toretsk, which has long been eyed by Moscow as a prime strategic goal in the region. I am entirely convinced that this conflict in Ukraine is not going to end well. Of course the same thing could be said about so many things that are going on in our world today. Global events appear to be building up to a grand crescendo, and the remainder of this year promises to be quite chaotic. So if you think that things are strange now, just hold on tight, because I have a feeling that they are about to get a whole lot stranger.

The Days of Noah and the Titanic!

 The Days of Noah and the Titanic! – John Bellam - https://www.rev310.net/post/the-days-of-noah-and-the-titanic And the Lord said, my spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.”-Genesis 6:3 The last article I shared here had to do with the days of Noah, the days of Lot, and the last Trump which I believe is on the near horizon. Today’s article is more speculation on the “Daysof Noah” theme but may be completely out in left field. I wanted to share my thoughts though because when I did a little research into the matter it captivated me greatly. The days of Noah came about when God was about to cause a worldwide global judgment to fall on humanity; The Great Flood! The days of Lot were the precursor to a regional event of judgment;The destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. While Jesus mentions both in Matthew 24 and Luke 17 when talking about the signs of His return, they may not have been for the same reasons. 37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, 39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Matthew 24:37-39 26 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. 27 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. 28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; 29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. 30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed. Luke 17:26-30 It’s possible that the conditions of eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage that are mentioned in both Noah's and Lots conditions, are worldwide social experiences celebratedeverywhere. Yet by indicating that the end would mirror the localized economic conditions of Lot’s time (planting and building, buying and selling ), it may be a hint that regional economies will still be functioning when the Lord breaks back into time torapture His church. In other words, the whole world will be marrying and eating and drinking, as usual, and the individual regions would still be functioning in a time of distinct national economies and not all one consolidated global economy. Now this is all merely speculation based on prayer for wisdom and I am not proclaiming this as a certainty. But Jesus did indeed give some different signs for the two separate calamities thatmay sort out some of the overall global conditions and the individual national conditions preceding the coming judgment. If this is accurate, then the following are things we know : -The coming judgment will be global like the flood and affect everyone everywhere and not localized like S&G! -There will still be buying and selling, planting and building going on at the time of the Rapture so the economic conditions more resemble our current national economies than the Great Resetversion of an economy where no one owns anything and planting gardens is outlawed and we are all somehow herded into 15 minute cities. This appears to indicate the existence of local commerce like those in S&G which may be why our Lord put the example of Buyingand Selling and Planting and Building in the Lot example. -We know the examples the Lord uses in both the Noah and Lot judgments have to be speaking of the conditions at His coming to rapture the Church because they do not lineup with the horrendousworldwide conditions we see throughout Scripture at His actual second coming. With that all in mind I looked further for clues of the unique conditions before the two previous judgments and something stood out. The one main thing that happened before the flood thatwas different than the destruction of S&G was that God gave humanity a 120-year warning before the flood. Gen 6:3 “And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.” This got me thinking, if the Lord issued a 120-year warning before the first global judgment, is it possible that for the discerning, He will issue a 120-year warning before the last globaljudgment? Well of course that is impossible to figure with great certainty without an audible voice of God telling a prophet. I fully believe Scripture is complete and God is not giving new revelationbut He does give illumination to those who seek out His Word for clues and clarity. Most of us in the watcher community believe we are now in the last stages of the signs being given for our Lord’s return as we see the infrastructure of the Beast kingdom being built at thesame time we see Israel surrounded by a sea of hostility and worldwide antisemitic hatred, we can be sure the time of the Lord’s return is near. But because we don’t know when the end will be for certain, we don’t know when to back the clock up 120 years tolook for a possible 120-year warning that may have been issued. In other words, say Jesus returns to judge the world on May 14, 2068… we may surmise that the clock started in a 120-year warning at the birth of Israel. But we won’t know that until Jesus hasreturned to judge. So are there any other clues or methods we can use to investigate a potential 120-year warning? One thing I do believe for sure is that one day to the Lord is as 1000 years and 1000 years is as a day (2 Peter 3:8). I also believe God created the 7-day week to mirror man’s time on earth.6000 years of human toiling and then a final 1000 years of rest under the righteous renewed kingdom of King Jesus. In addition, I believe the passages that indicate the 3rd day or 3rd millennium after Christ’s first earthly visit will be the millennium whenHe returns to rule the world. “After two days he will revive us; on the third day he will restore us, that we may live in his presence.” Hosea 6:2 I believe the 2000th anniversary of Jesus’ crucifixion/resurrection/ascension will be somewhere around 2032-33. Possibly 2031 but more likely 32’ or 33’. With that being the case, I believeour Precise God has a plan to rapture us sometime soon, cast the world into the 7-year Tribulation, and then begin His 7th millennium of Messianic rest around that 32-33 window. God knows precisely when but I can only speculate and I certainly could be wrong So just for my own curiosity, I went back 120 years from 2033 to see if anything could have happened that could have been the signal that a 120-year warning was being given to humanity aboutthe judgment to come. In 1913 there were some pretty significant events such as the signing of the Federal Reserve Act which probably doomed America although it would be a slow death of our sovereignty for sure. But while there were other notable events aswell, I would say nothing that would indicate God was giving humanity a global warning of the dire situation 120 years ahead. So I went back from 2032 to 1912… and there I saw it. April 15, 1912…The sinking of the great ship “Titanic”. The correlations and connecting dots started to fill my mind as I immediatelythought back to an article (The Day of the Dead and the Great Flood) Randy Nettles shared on this site a year or so ago. With his great mathematical mind, Randy was able to calculate that the Ark of Noah set sail on Halloween, October 31, 2302 BC, and restedon the mountains of Ararat 150 days later on March 30 (Nisan 17) 2301 BC. which would be the Third day of Unleavened Bread in the Jewish feast system. Since the Ark represented a typology of Jesus Christ as the only salvation for humanity, I found it so wonderfulthat Our Heavenly Father would align it so that the Ark resting on the mountains with saved humanity aboard, and the Lord fulfilling our salvation at the Cross and being raised to life, would happen on coinciding dates. The Ark was a beautiful picture of Christ,our Savior so having the dates align celebrates God’s perfect sovereignty. But what has the Titanic got to do with this? The ark was the great boat designed by God to save the world from extinction during His judgment. The Titanic was the greatest ship man ever built and was hailed as the great achievement ofthe age. At that time, it was said regarding the Titanic's impressive design, that “Even God could not sink it." This prompted me to eagerly look a little deeper into the ways these two ships were similar and different, and if there was some possible divineconnection. The ark was designed to carry all believing humans and an array of every kind of animal to repopulate the post-flood world. The Titanic was designed to carry human passengers of every classand increase travel opportunities for immigrants mainly for economic profiting reasons. The ark was built purely by God's design and instructions. He knew the harsh conditions it would face and He gave Noah explicit details on how it had to be put together to survive. The TitanicWas the technological marvel of the day and was designed by man to be unsinkable against the ocean’s violent tendencies. Noah humbly built the ark in faith that God was indeed going to judge the world with a flood and he preached the coming judgment for 100 years because of his faith. The Titanic was built byman’s pride, arrogance, and greed believing nothing could overcome the great sea vessel. Noah faithfully believed God would destroy the world and that the ark was his family’s only hope to survive. He trusted God’s warning and trusted God to seal him inside so he could rest whilethe world perished. The Titanic builders believed their ship was so indestructible that they did not need to worry about safety precautions like lifeboats for the passengers. Noah kept a keen eye out the window observing the conditions and sent out birds to bring back signs of land. The Titanic was so overconfident in its indestructibility that they didn’t evenremember binoculars for the lookouts. They missed the approaching iceberg until it was too late because their watchers were ill-equipped. If the timeline is correct, the ark landed safely to rest on the 3rd day of Unleavened bread on March 30, 2301 BC. The Titanic began the first leg of its maiden voyage on April 3, 1912, whichironically happened to be the 3rd day of the feast of Unleavened Bread. This was the first day after its sea trials were over and it sailed to South Hampton to take on the food supplies needed for its maiden voyage These things got me thinking …. What if God gave a 120-year warning to the Pre-flood world that He would destroy the world and only a great ship would be their salvation? What if He startedthe 120-year countdown to the final global judgment with the sinking of a great ship? A ship that represented the beginning of man’s global reunification in its early stages of a coming global panacea they were creating on earth? All classes of people andnationalities were on the ship just as all varieties of creatures were on the ark Now this may be a stretch but the Titanic could have been a snapshot of the globally united Beast system that would sail the world into disaster 120 years later. Unlike the ark, Titanic wasbuilt upon man’s own vision and talents and shaking a fist in God’s face challenging Him that He was no match for their human achievement and genius ability to conquer nature. Noah’s Ark was salvation from the monstrous waters of God’s way like the narrow road of following Christ is God’s way to eternal salvation. Only a few found salvation in the Ark. Just eightpeople made it through alive. The Titanic was more like the broad road to destruction man’s way. Human technology navigating the great ocean according to man’s design. It was filled with people from all classes and they trusted its unsinkability even thoughthat was just an illusion of its human builders. The majority of those who put their faith in the new elite vessel were led to destruction. The sinking of the ship brought utter shock to the entire world! The late 1800s and early 1900s were referred to by author Mark Twain as “ The Gilded Age” because humanity had started to develop technologies that made life better for everyone and afterthousands of years of living in the same conditions that were far from luxurious, suddenly technology began to bloom helping create a utopia on earth many thought. A utopia that would bring all humanity together as it had not experienced since the days ofBabel! The Titanic may have been the kickoff to a world of mass global travel in conjunction with the explosion of technology that Daniel foresaw thousands of years before. Daniel 12:4 “But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.” “We are living, at a period of wonderful transition which tends rapidly to accomplish that great end to which indeed all history points, the realization of the unity of mankind!” - Prince Albert of Great Britain 1851 The world was moving in a straight upward trajectory it seemed and humanity believed it was conquering all evils of the old world and harnessing the technologies to bring peace and luxuryto everyone and create bliss on earth. “It was a very traumatic thing. You have people who died in the most appalling circumstances, and you had in a sense, the microcosm of the whole western society two and a half miles down (underthe sea water )!” -Michael McCaughan (Maritime History Museum Curator) “Nothing had really happened, since the days of Napoleon, to destroy man’s faith in continued progress. It’s the last time we’ve been sure of anything .” - Historian Walter Lord describingconditions before and after the Titanic sank. “There was peace, and the world had an even tenor to its way. It seems to me that the disaster about to occur was the event that not only made the world rub its eyes and awake, but woke itwith a start! To my mind the world of today awoke April 15, 1912!” - Jack Thayer (Titanic survivor ) also describing conditions before and after the sinking of the ship. “The sinking of the Titanic was one of the biggest disasters to happen in the 20th century. The fact that so many people from all over the world, so many classes, took part in this disaster,were victims of it, caught the imaginations of even people living who had no investment of human souls on the ship - Wyn Wade (Author of Titanic, End of a Dream) By every account, the Titanic sinking was the end of something …. Or the beginning of something, that changed the world. Now we don’t have any idea if it was the clock starting on a 120-yearcountdown as I am postulating. However, we won’t know that this side of the 120-year time expiring and we're still here, or we are gloriously transitioned into our eternal state. But what if God really did use the sinking of that great “ship of human achievement” to start the final 120-year clock til global judgment, just as He used the sealing up of the great ship of “Divine Will” to culminate the first 120-year warning of global judgment? If there is anything to this then 2032 will be a big year. Either the rapture will occur, the Great Tribulation will start, or my opinion is that the Second Coming of our Lord could happenthat year. And if I’m on the right track then the seven-year tribulation has to begin next year and we are merely days or moments away from our Lord’s call to “Come up here!” It’s all speculation. No date setting here. But the possibility is intriguing. Andperhaps just one more drop of water in the ocean of prophetic signs that are coming at us in huge waves now regularly! Watchers, we need to witness now like never before. While the rest of the world is busy rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic (so to speak) trying to get more comfortable on this sinkingplanet, we need to remain the salt for as many days as we have left. We are to call all people to salvation in the Lord Jesus before the judgment arrives just as Noah preached that judgment was coming and the ark was their hope. Man’s achievement is aboutto plunge humanity into a literal hell on earth just as that glorious human achievement known as the “Titanic” plunged its multicultural passengers into the depths of the Atlantic. Unlike that fateful ship, we have eyes (God’s Word) to see that the iceberg (judgment) is coming. We know this world is set for total destruction and we have the lifeboat that is sufficientto accommodate all passengers that will come for salvation. We need to be faithful watchers and ring the bell loudly of the horror that lies just ahead. The Titanic survivors were jubilant to see the coming of the RMS Carpathia to rescue those who remainedafter the disaster. We have the blessed hope to be rescued before the coming global disaster happens. Warn everyone you know! Come Lord Jesus! “For I am the LORD your God, who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar— the LORD Almighty is his name.” - Isaiah 51:15

The Judgment of God

 The Judgment of God - By Daymond Duck - https://www.raptureready.com/2024/08/17/the-judgment-of-god-by-daymond-duck/ (FYI: In this article, “IT” refers to the coming Judgment/Tribulation Period, and “WHO” refers to Jesus/God.). Hal Lindsey, one of my favorite authors and Bible prophecy teachers, recently wrote an article titled “Don’t Stay Silent as the World Runs Headlong Into the Judgment of God.” Lindsey said, · Judgment is coming to the world. · God said it, and you can count on it. · It is defined in scripture as a period that begins after the rapture, at a time when humanitybelieves it has entered an era of peace and safety on its own and without God. · But the peace and safety will be an illusion followed by an outpouring of the judgment ofGod. Scripture calls this period of God’s judgment several things: Jeremiah 30:7 calls it, · The time of Jacob’s Trouble. Zephaniah 1:14-16 calls it, · The great day of the Lord, · A day of wrath, · A day of trouble and distress, · A day of waste and desolation, · A day of darkness and gloominess, · A day of clouds and thick darkness, · A day of the trumpet and alarm against the fenced cities and against the high towers. Isaiah 26:20 calls it, · The indignation. Isaiah 34:8 calls it, · The day of the Lord’s vengeance. Daniel 9:24-27, · The seventieth week of Daniel. · God’s purpose for this period of Judgment (the seventieth week) was revealed to the prophetDaniel by the angel Gabriel (a messenger angel that reveals something about the first or second coming of Jesus every time he appears in Scripture). “Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlastingrighteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy” (Dan. 9:24). Gabriel came out of heaven to reveal six things to Daniel about the Jews and Jerusalem: · To finish the transgression (to cause the Jews to stop rebelling against God), · To make an end of sins (to cause the Jews to stop sinning against God and others), · To make reconciliation for iniquity (to cause the Jews to accept Jesus as their Messiahand Saviour; to accept Him as the only permanent atonement for their sins), · To bring in everlasting righteousness (to begin the Millennial Kingdom and make everlastingrighteousness a reality for saved Jews), · To seal up the vision (to complete every prophecy that must be completed by this time, includingthe last seven years of Israel’s 490 years of punishment), · To anoint the most Holy (some experts say this means anoint a new Temple, others say itmeans anoint Jesus as the Messiah, and others, including myself, say it probably means both). The Disciples asked Jesus about the signs of His coming, and He said: “For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And except those days should be shortened, there should no fleshbe saved: but for the elect’s (Israel’s; Isa. 45:4) sake those days shall be shortened” (Matt. 24:21-22). The rise of the Antichrist over the coming New World Order will lead to nuclear war, famine, pestilence, persecution, and disasters that would destroy every living being on earth were it notfor the Second Coming of Jesus. You see, it is not just a matter of WHAT is coming (the Judgment): it is also a matter of WHO is coming (the Judge of all things). He is: · The One who spoke all things into existence, · The King of kings and Lord of lords, · The King of the Jews, · The Holy One of Israel, · The One who is all-powerful, everywhere, and sees and knows everything, · The One who will raise the dead and cast the lost into outer darkness, · The One who will cast the Antichrist and False Prophet into the Lake of Fire, · The One who will cast Satan into the Bottomless Pit for 1,000 years and ultimately intothe Lake of Fire, · The One who will separate the wheat from the tares, the sheep nations from the goat nations, · And more. I believe the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (Tribulation Period; Rev. 6:1-8) are saddled up, the horsemen have their feet in the stirrups, their horses are pawing at the ground, and theyare ready to charge forth. Here are some reasons why: One, concerning Israel’s war with Iran and the Jews rebuilding the Temple at the end of the age:on Aug. 13, 2024, Moshe Feiglin (leader of one of Israel’s Orthodox Jewish parties) produced a video with a message to the Ayatollah Khamenei in Iran. Among other things, Feiglin said: · We have reached the end of days. · We have reached the moment of truth. · We have reached the end of the historical conclusion. · We have reached the Day of Judgment. · In the name of the God of Israel, we will fight for truth, justice, and freedom. · We will destroy you on all fronts. · And when we win, we will complete the true vision of our prophets … we will build the palaceof God, the Holy Temple in Jerusalem, our capital. · We will light the menorah, and we will bring freedom, life, and peace to the entire world. Here is a link to the entire article: (HERE) Two, concerning the salvation of all Israel at the end of the Tribulation Period: the constant attackon Israel is causing the Jews to become more spiritual. On Aug. 8, 2024, David Parsons, vice president and senior spokesman for the International Christian Embassy in Jerusalem, told CBN News, I think the nation has grown in confidence as they’ve fended off even Iranian attacks with the hand of God behind them. So, it’s looking better. Three, concerning wars and rumors of wars: on Aug. 6, 2024, the U.S. confirmed that it has sentclear messaging to Iran that the risk of a major escalation is extremely high if they launch a significant retaliatory attack against Israel. Four, concerning wars and rumors of wars: on Aug. 8, 2024, Israel’s Defense Min. sent a warningto Lebanon (before Israel decides to destroy Lebanon). · Citizens of Lebanon, Shiite Iran, and those who submit [to its ideology], led by Hezbollah,have taken Lebanon and its people hostage for the sake of narrow sectarian interests. · The State of Israel wants peace, prosperity, and stability on both sides of the northernborder and, therefore, will in no way allow the Hezbollah militia to destabilize the border and the region. · If Hezbollah continues its aggression, Israel will fight it with all its might. Five, concerning wars and rumors of wars: on Aug. 8, 2024, a leading member of Iran’s nuclear negotiatingteam promised on Wednesday to “wipe out” every American military base in the Middle East if the United States joins Israel in an attack on the Islamic Republic. (My comment: The U.S. warnedIran on Aug. 6, Israel warned Lebanon on Aug. 8, and Iran warned the U.S. on Aug. 8. It looks like war is looming.) (More: On Aug. 9, 2024,Iran informed the UN that it would honor any Gaza ceasefire and hostage deal accepted by Hamas, but Iran still intends to punish Israel for killing Haniyeh.) (More: On Aug. 10, 2024,it was reported that Jordan will allow Israel to use its airspace if it attacks Iran.) (More: Following U.S. warningsagainst a major attack on Israel: on Aug.9, 2024, it was reported that the U.S. Border Patrol is on high alert after reports that Iran is trying to sneak money and materials into the U.S. to use in a terrorist attack.) (More: On Aug. 11, 2024,it was reported that Iran has agreed to delay its attack on Israel to allow negotiators a little more time to advance a ceasefire in Gaza.) Six, concerning the decline of America, and God blessing those that bless Israel and cursing thosethat curse Israel: on Aug. 8, 2024, expert Bible prophecy teacher Amir Tsarfati wrote: · The Jewish state knows who its friends are … and so does the God of Israel. · I don’t worry about Israel. God has us safely in His hand. He has mapped out our future,and He will carry out His will. · I am much more concerned with the United States, the United Kingdom, and the rest of Europe. (More: On Aug. 13, 2024,the U.S. approved the sale of $20 billion of weapons to Israel, but it will take years for the U.S. to produce and deliver them to Israel.) (More: On Aug. 13, 2024,it was reported that Israel is preparing to manufacture its own heavy bombs because they can no longer trust the U.S. to supply them. It will take Israel 2-3 years to start producing what they need.) Seven, concerning the accusation that former Pres. Trump is a threat to Democracy: on Aug. 10, 2024,it was reported that Nancy Pelosi has confirmed that she was joined by former Pres. Obama and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Shumer in an effort to pressure Pres. Biden to drop out of the presidential race because they didn’t think he could be re-elected thiscoming November. Eight, concerning Russia, Iran, and others becoming allies and attacking Israel in the latter daysand latter years: on Aug. 9, 2024, it was reported that: · Dozens of Russian military personnel are being trained in Iran to use the Fath-360 close-rangeballistic missile system. · Two European intelligence sources said they expect the imminent delivery of hundreds ofsatellite-guided weapons to Russia for its war in Ukraine. Nine, concerning world government and a borderless world: on Aug. 10, 2024, Breitbart reported thatan unofficial DHS report provided by a source in the Customs and Border Protection agency said: · In 2023, 24,125 migrants from communist China were apprehended at the U.S. southern border. · In 2024, 35,300 migrants from communist China were apprehended at the U.S. southern border. Kamala Harris is America’s Border Czar, and most of them have been released into the U.S. Ten, concerning natural disasters increasing like birth pains at the end of the age: on Aug. 13,2024, it was reported that: Churches across the western United States are facing soaring insurance premiums, and even potential closure, as high building costs and extreme weather, including hurricanes, wildfires, severethunderstorms, and flooding buffet their regions. Eleven, concerning Trump’s salvation: on Aug. 13, 2024, the Daily Wire reported that Trump said: The fact that he turned his head at the exact moment when the would-be assassin took the shot should make those who don’t believe in God reconsider their beliefs. · “I’m a believer,” Trump said. · “Now, I’m more of a believer.” · Several minutes later, Trump said that the fact that he turned his head to read a chartthat was displayed at his rally was “an act of God” and “a miracle.” Twelve, concerning antisemitism and corruption in the UN: on Aug. 14, 2024, the UN Security Councilconvened an emergency session to discuss a recent Israeli attack on terrorists hiding in a school in Gaza. Israel’s ambassador to the UN gave the UN pictures and information on the terrorists that were killed and said: · You convened for these terrorists who used a school as their terror base, but for the childrenof Majdal Shams, murdered by Hezbollah’s rocket fire, you couldn’t find the time for an urgent session! Shame on you! · The Council convened today to discuss Hamas’ false claims. Shockingly, it seems that youhave decided to dedicate your time to listen to the terrorists’ lies while no real concern has been shown when Israeli children were murdered recently by Hezbollah. · Israel’s ambassador also gave the UN Security Council pictures of the children who weremurdered by a Hezbollah missile in Majdal Shams. (More: On Aug. 13, 2024,the Houthi terrorists in Yemen raided a UN office, took UN staff members hostage, and stole critical UN documents.) (My opinion: The UN isantichrist and anti-Israel. Its New World Order will come under God’s curse; Gen. 12:1-3.) (FYI: For a 2 ½ min videoabout Keeping God’s Land, go to this link: https://keepgodsland.com/.)

Monday, Aug. 12, 2024 (Day 311): The two-hundred fifty-sixth day of the resumed war. Day 98 of the attack on Rafah. · Israel said Iran is smuggling more weapons and money through Jordan to terrorists in Israelwith instruction to increase terrorist attacks inside Israel during an Iranian and Hezbollah retribution attack on Israel. · Britain, France, and Germany warned Iran and her allies to stop attacking Israel becauseit will jeopardize the upcoming ceasefire negotiations. · Hamas admitted that a guard killed one male hostage and severely injured 2 female hostages. Tuesday, Aug. 13, 2024 (Day 312): The two-hundred fifty-seventh day of the resumed war. Day 99 of the attack on Rafah. · Hamas fired 2 rockets at Tel Aviv, Israel from Gaza. There was no damage. · Iran rejected the warning of Britain, France, and Germany for Iran and her allies to stopattacking Israel. Iran said it lacks political logic and contradicts principles of international law. FYI: God does not send anyone to Hell (all of us are born with a sin nature and destined to go toHell because we sin), but God has provided a way (Jesus) for everyone to go to heaven (and He is the only way to get there; John 14:6). Finally, are you Rapture Ready? If you want to be rapture ready and go to heaven, you must be born again (John 3:3). God loves you, and if you have not done so, sincerely admit that you are a sinner; believe that Jesus isthe virgin-born, sinless Son of God who died for the sins of the world, was buried, and raised from the dead; ask Him to forgive your sins, cleanse you, come into your heart and be your Saviour; then tell someone that you have done this. duck_daymond@yahoo.com ---------------------------------------

The prophetic wind swirling around Israel

 The prophetic wind swirling around Israel - Bill Wilson – www.dailyjot.com There is a prophetic wind swirling around Israel as we witness the ancient words of holy scripture playing out in historic fashion. Deuteronomy 3:23-7:11 is the Torah portion called Va’etchananand it is read following the fast of Tishah B’Av, which began August 12th this year at sundown and continued until an hour after sundown on August 13th. Tishah B’Av is the saddest day of the Jewish year because it was on that date that the Sin of the Spiesoccurred, and both Temples were destroyed–among other national tragedies. Currently, Israel faces terrorist wars from Hamas, Hezbollah and others sponsored and/or supported by prophetic end-times nations Iran (Persia) and Turkey. Moses warns the people not to fall into idolatry, for as Deuteronomy 4:24 says, “ADONAI God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.” This is repeated in Hebrews 12:29. Moses predicted that thepeople would serve other gods and enter into exile, but that the LORD would have compassion on them when they repent. Moses prophesied in Deuteronomy 4:30-31, “In your distress, when all these things have come upon you, in the acharit-hayamim (end of days),you will return to ADONAI your God and listen to what he says; for ADONAI your God is a merciful God.” Notice that Moses says that the mercy of God will restore Israel in the latter days when they are in distress—tribulation. Tribulation for Israel in the end times is also prophesied by the prophets Daniel, Jeremiah, and Zechariah. Daniel 9:26 says, “…and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy thecity and the sanctuary, and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.” “Zechariah 14:2-3 says, “For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled,and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city. Then shall the Lord go forth and fight against those nations.” Jeremiah 30:7: “…it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble,but he shall be saved out of it.” This all aligns with the Matthew 24:21 prophecy of Jesus concerning Israel’s troubles in the latter days: “For there will be trouble then worse than there has ever been from the beginningof the world until now, and there will be nothing like it again.” But that is not the end for there is hope. Jesus says of Israel in Luke 13:35, “See! Your house is left to you desolate; and assuredly, I say to you, you shall not see Me until the time comeswhen you say, “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!” Jesus was quoting Psalm 118:26. It was the way people of that day were taught to welcome the Messiah. And when that time comes, the people of Israel will cry out to their Messiah, and He willdeliver them. Prophecy is often fulfilled in layers and we may be witnessing the very events leading to the end of days.

God Has Made Bible Prophecy Plain To See-----

 God Has Made Bible Prophecy Plain To See Through The Nation Of Israel – By RobertGottselig - https://harbingersdaily.com/god-has-made-bible-prophecy-plain-to-see-through-the-nation-of-israel/ Last week, I discussed praying for Israel as a major attack from Iran and Hezbollah seemed imminent. However, so far, at the time of this writing, that has not yet happened, nor has Israelmade any preemptive strikes. I urged people to pray for Israel and her leaders to be wise to the schemes of those who wish them dead. I also prayed that, ultimately, God would intervene—as things in Israel could get very bad very quickly should an all-outwar or attack happen on the Jewish State. Not everyone on the internet liked what I had to say. Among the comments were “Free Palestine,” “I think I’m going to puke,” and others who labeled me as a “genocide reverend” and “enemy ofGod.” This article is for the haters of Israel. Modern-day Israel is a miracle through which God is trying to get the attention of the world today. One of God’s greatest signatures outside of creation that proves His existence is Bibleprophecy, where the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob alone predicts the future with 100% accuracy. Don’t believe me? Read God’s Word in Isaiah 42:9, where He says: “Behold, the former things have come to pass, And new things I declare; Before they spring forthI tell you of them.” About one-third of the Bible is prophetic in nature, with many prophecies already fulfilled literally. There are also many that are taking shape, and we can see the stage being set in ourday for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled in the future. When it comes to Israel, God’s Word screams to the world that He is real and that His Word is trustworthy and true. The haters and others would see that if only they would read it and believe. I think of Ezekiel 36. God scattered the Jewish people because of their disobedience to the four corners of the earth, and when they were scattered, they profaned His holy name. But God says, “I will sanctify My great name.” God made promises to Israel. He made promises in His Word; if He doesn’t keep those promises, then He is a liar—and that’s the crux of the matter. Satan is always trying to thwart God’s Word to prove God to be a liar. But God says in Ezekiel 36:23-24, “‘I will sanctify My great name, which has been profaned among the nations, which you have profaned in their midst; and the nations shall know that I am theLORD,’ says the Lord GOD, ‘when I am hallowed in you before their eyes.” And this is how the Lord is going to do that: “I will take you from among the nations, gather you out of all countries, and bring you into your own land.'” God has a plan where he’s going to save them physically and spiritually one day, as it says in verses 25-26, “Then I will sprinkle clean water on you… I will give you a new heart.” That isthe new covenant promise we read in Jeremiah chapter 31. God has made Bible Prophecy plain to see through the nation of Israel. He has gathered them out of all countries and is bringing them back into their own land. God has done this so that wewill see it and come to know Him. Do you know the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob? What other nation on earth has been scattered from their ancestral homeland for 2,000 years only to return, bring the land back to life, rebuild their waste cities, restore their language,and make the desert blossom as a rose? That’s what God said would happen. Amos 9:14-15 says, “‘I will bring back the captives of My people Israel; They shall build the waste cities and inhabit them; They shall plant vineyards and drink wine from them; They shallalso make gardens and eat fruit from them. I will plant them in their land, And no longer shall they be pulled up From the land I have given them,’ Says the Lord your God.” Because He regathered His chosen people back to the land before our very eyes, God says in Ezekiel 36 that “the nations shall know that I am the LORD.” For those making anti-Israel statements,do you not see the hand of God? Do you not know what the prophetic word of God teaches? To put it very simply, as Dave Hunt used to say, do you want to know that the Bible is true and that you can rely on it with all your heart? Look to Israel! The Jewish people would be scattered across the world for 2,000 years, yet God would preserve them. They were persecuted. They had every right to inter-marry and to lose their identity, butthey remained an identifiable ethnic group for thousands of years and were brought back into their own land. They were also a nation born in a single day, just as God’s Word foretold they would be in Isaiah 66:8. Not only that, but God says, “And it shall happen in that day that I will make Jerusalem a very heavy stone for all peoples; all who would heave it away will surely be cut in pieces, thoughall nations of the earth are gathered against it” (Zechariah 12:3). What the prophet Zachariah wrote 2,500 years ago in the 12th chapter. It’s a warning for all those who hate Israel. Today, the world is ignorant of what God has said through His prophets and is more sympathetic to the so-called “Palestinians” and their revision of history than they are to the Jewish people—whoseheritage is written all over the land. When I take people to Israel, we see the Bible come to life. Everywhere Israel sticks a shovel in the ground, it does not bring up archaeological evidence for Palestinians, who have revisedhistory; it brings up the heritage of the Jewish people. Wake up, haters of Israel, and see what God is doing! Let the words of Nehemiah 2:20 sink in: “The God of heaven Himself will prosper us [the Jewish People]; therefore we His servants willarise and build, but you [the national enemies of Israel] have no heritage or right or memorial in Jerusalem.”

Does Satan Know How Close the End Is?

 Does Satan Know How Close the End Is? – Bill Perkins - https://compass.org/does-satan-know-how-close-the-end-is/ God is not a God of confusion…1Cor.14:33a With the amount of censorship going on via all the confusing and ever-changing news, we Believers know full well who IS the god of confusion. Everything we’re seeing on the mainstream media is just a show manipulated by the Globalists/Satanists in the darkness behind the scenes. YouTube just informed us they took down our Steeling the Mind Conference videos from March 2022. The reason they gave us is that it violated their Medical Misinformation Policy: “Content that poses a serious risk of egregious harm by spreading medical misinformation about currently administered vaccines that are approved and confirmed to be safe and effective by localhealth authorities and the World Health Organization isn't allowed on YouTube.” The specific objection to the conference video was a comment by Dr. Peter McCullough, who's probably the most knowledgeable and credentialed physician of our day. He simply quoted facts thatshowed the va((ine was dangerous. So we were censored... they took it down. Despite the fact millions of people have died or are disabled from taking the va((ine, the Globalists/Satanists are still insisting the Covid mRNA va((ines are “safe and effective.” The fake show ruse runs deep. These dark shadows have gained total control of the mainstream news, and what’s being presented is basically 100% lies. [the devil is] a liar and the father of lies. John 8:44 For instance we’re now finding out that they’re now revising downward the job numbers that Biden has been touting for a year to be lies—as much a million too high.(1) Not only were they not real jobs (they were part-time jobs that were being mostly filled by illegal aliens), but now we’re finding out that even most of those were fake numbers. Up to a million jobs too many were reported by the Bureau of Labor (Jeff Childers says it should be called the “Bureau of Lies.”) To read more info on Biden's job lies CLICKHERE Every month we hear rosy figures about jobs created by the Biden Administration, then later they “revise” them down. We’re simply watching a show of perpetual lies. So is this their show’s "final act"? We know they’ll do whatever they have to do to keep from losing power—the sky’s the limit. We just saw the bad guys try to murder their chief opposition in broad daylight in front of tensof thousands physically present and cameras rolling—missing by less than an inch. As Believers, we know that in the end we win. And the bad guys will all eventually burn in the lake of fire for eternity. But if we’re in the last act of their worldwide show, what’s theircurrent end-game? They can’t lie like this forever. From a Biblical perspective there’s a major question we should ask ourselves…how much detail does Satan know about the future? The answer could be a major clue as to what's going on. Matthew, Mark and Luke all record a fascinating account of Jesus dealing with demons on the east side (Gentile side) of the Sea of Galilee. During this interaction, the demons made a profoundremark to Jesus: And they cried out, saying, “What business do we have with each other, Son of God? Have You come here to torment us before the time?” Matt. 8:29 Wow! The demons knew it was not time for them to be thrown into torment. They knew when their lake of fire confinement was scheduled by God to take place… and it was not at that time. This proves demons know a lot about Bible prophecy and what happens to them in the future. So let’s think about this… Satan's the head demon and he’s definitely a lot wiser than his minions. You had the seal of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty. Ezek. 28:12b So if Satan’s underlings know the future, how much more would he know? Hey, he went toe-to-toe with Jesus in the desert arguing over the meaning of scripture. And he [Satan] led Him to Jerusalem and had Him stand on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down from here; for it is written, [quotingfrom Ps. 91] ‘HE WILL COMMAND HIS ANGELS CONCERNING YOU TO GUARD YOU,’ and ‘ON their HANDS THEY WILL BEAR YOU UP, SO THAT YOU WILL NOT STRIKE YOUR FOOT AGAINST A STONE.’” Luke 4:9-11 Obviously Satan was quoting scripture out of context, and Jesus set him straight. But the point is, Satan knows scripture very, very well. There's some insight into Satan's scriptural knowledge in the account of him being thrown to earth: Woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, knowing that he has only a short time. Rev. 12:12b That means, like his demon followers, he knows Bible prophecy. And has even more understanding than those demons in Matthew 8. Satan’s had 6000 years to study God, God's Word, and learn about His timelines. He’s way ahead of us. He knows dispensational truth and where we are on the 7000 years of God’s human timeline. Therefore, if Believers can read scripture and see the signs of Jesus’ soon arrival, Satan also knows the signs, and he would even know the timing of the Rapture. (*See notes below) Satan knows when God’s restraining Holy Spirit is removed from the earth that he’s off to the races with all his death and destruction. And you know what restrains [Satan] now, so that in his time he will be revealed. For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He [God’s Holy Spirit] who now restrains will do sountil He is taken out of the way. 2Thes. 2:6-7 Satan knows that once God rescues us prior to the 7 years of wrath, he'll be unrestrained—too late for those left behind to stop him. So Satan just continues to lie to keep humans distracted, worried, mis-taught and in the dark—until after the Rapture. He wants us to pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. If Satan knows the Rapture will be this October, he would be spreading the lie that it's possible Trump can be elected as a political savior. He would want us confused and distracted by allthe wokeness, border problems, Israel & Iran, bank failures, inflation, va((ines, etc. He would start warming up for the death and destruction to follow by attacking the world’s food distribution and the access to water and energy. But thankfully, according to the Bible, Satan will remain on his leash for now. God will continue to hold him back from unbridled evil. And right up to our exhilarating exit there will befood, drink, construction and social events (Matt. 24 / Luke 17). The starvation, lack of water, economy collapsing and the lights going out doesn’t happen until AFTER the Rapture (Rev. 18). Satan's also the master sorcerer...so much so that God even points to his worldwide drug distribution as a major reason for his wrath against the USA. because all the nations were deceived by your [drugs/va((ines]. Rev. 18:23b Have you noticed any worldwide distribution of drugs recently? If so, it’s a sign we’re getting close to our stupendous exit. Bottom line is that if Satan knew the Rapture was going to happen in October 2024 (not a prediction), and immediately after the Rapture he would then receive total control of the earth, thenall he would need to do was keep everyone confused and in the dark until October. Again, I did not say that the Rapture was in October of THIS year. We don’t know. It could be ten years from now. Or more. I just think it’s highly likely that Satan knows when it will happen. Regarding Rosh Hashanah this year, if Israel doesn’t discover Solomon’s treasures to tempt Russia, Iran and others to invade Israel(2), this is not likely going to be the year of God’s magnificentglobal rescue. So regardless of when the Rapture takes place, we’re not worried but are at peace. We can enjoy the show of lies knowing we’ve already won the prize. So be bold as lions sharing what’s dead ahead when the Lord opens a door of opportunity. praying... that God will open up to us a door for the word, so that we may speak forth the mystery of Christ, Col. 4:3a Your rewards will be eternal!

There are always people who quote scripture to me that no one knows the day or the hour of Jesus’ return. So to save time, here’s why that is not applicable to us Believers: “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone. Matt. 24:36 When Jesus said this He was speaking to the Jews who were under the law. He was NOT addressing Believers in the Church Age. He was NOT addressing you and me. We live in a different dispensation, a different time period referred to as the Church Age. Things are different after the cross. When Jesus made the statement that no one knows the day, He also said He didn’t know the date either. It was a true statement at the time. But He could not make that same statement today. Do you think Jesus knows today when He’s returning? Yes, of course He does because post-cross we see in Rev. 5 Jesus qualifying to receive all knowledge.

Silver Trumpets Blown on Temple Mount------

 Silver Trumpets Blown on Temple Mount/Shocking Shroud of Turin Discovery/Did an Earthquake Prevent an Attack on Israel?- by Michael Snyder - https://endoftheamericandream.com/silver-trumpets-blown-on-temple-mount-shocking-shroud-of-turin-discovery-did-an-earthquake-prevent-an-attack-on-israel/ So much is going on in the world right now that it is truly difficult to keep up with it all. I have a number of things that I wanted to share with you today, and so I decided to throw allof it into one article. Before I get into some of the developments from the other side of the world, let me give you a quick update on what is happening in Chicago. Yesterday I wrote about how law enforcement authorities were bracing for enormous anti-Israelprotests, and it is a good thing they were prepared to intervene because on Monday a group of crazed protesters successfully breached the security perimeter that was supposed to protect the DNC… Protesters broke through a portion of the security fence on West Washington Boulevard. Chicago cops could be seen running to confront the demonstrators. There was a brief standoff betweenthe police and protesters. Officers donned riot gear as they faced off with the large crowd. At least four protesters were arrested, according to Chicago Police Superintendent Larry Snelling. A woman was seen beingled away in handcuffs, while a man was carried away by several officers. The good news is that it appears that nobody was seriously hurt. But this is not what the Democrats wanted. What they wanted was a nice, calm convention during which they could attempt to convince everyone that the new Kamala Harris is not the same as the old Kamala Harris. WATCH: https://youtu.be/sBU4YPayHwk Now that I have given you a quick update on the DNC, I want to switch gears and discuss what has been taking place over in Israel. Several days ago, on Tisha B’Av, silver trumpets were blown on the Temple Mount for the very first time in nearly 2,000 years… On Tisha B’Av, the day commemorating the destruction of the Jewish Temples in Jerusalem, Josh Wander brought his silver trumpets specially made for use in the Temple to the Machkama building.Built about 700 years ago, it is currently used as a Border Police station. The building faces the Western Wall Plaza but juts out over the Temple Mount. This was a highly significant moment for Jewish people all over the globe, and I don’t understand why more people aren’t talking about this. WATCH: https://youtu.be/BrNyqRlimeE These silver trumpets were designed to be copies of the silver trumpets that were used in Solomon’s Temple, and Josh Wander had previously blown them at a couple of important events here inthe United States… After exhaustive research and under strict rabbinic supervision, Josh Wander, a resident of the Mount of Olives, has recreated the silver trumpets from Solomon’s Temple. Josh blew these trumpetsat the National Religious Broadcasters’ Conference in Tennessee and at CPAC in Washington DC, both attended by Donald Trump. As mandated by the Bible, Josh blew the trumpets for the IDF troops as they went out to war against Hamas in Gaza. Also on Tisha B’Av, a magnitude 5.4 earthquake greatly shook areas of Syria and Lebanon. It is being suggested that this may have prevented a large attack on Israel that was planned for that day. The following comes from the Jerusalem Post… In our collective memory, Tisha B’Av has always been a solemn day, marked by the destruction of the First and Second Temples. This year, however, the day bore witness to what many of us viewas a modern-day miracle—a testament to divine intervention that could not have come at a more crucial time. Reports confirmed a 5.4-magnitude earthquake that struck Syria and Lebanon, profoundly impacting the region. This was not just any seismic event; it may have served as an unanticipated yetdivine act that thwarted a grave threat against the Jewish nation. Hezbollah, an established proxy of Iran, had been preparing to launch an attack on Israel—a direct affront planned deliberately for Tisha B’Av. Many of the group’s underground tunnels, teemingwith armaments, may have been reduced to rubble by an act of God to protect His children, which could effectively halt Hezbollah’s nefarious plan before it could materialize. It is hard to perceive it as mere coincidence that the earth shook on the very day Hezbollah had intended to send Israel into mourning once more. With tunnels collapsing and their arsenalsburied, what could have been a devastating assault turned into a day of bewildering relief and gratitude. Could it be possible that there was a connection between the blowing of the silver trumpets and the earthquake that rattled Syria and Lebanon? I don’t know, but that is definitely a very interesting question. I do believe that all-out war is coming to the Middle East. But the time for that all-out war has not arrived just yet. Elsewhere, Russian President Vladimir Putin just did something that made me chuckle. He signed a decree that allows those seeking to escape the “destructive neoliberal ideological agenda” that is dominant in so many western countries to apply for temporary residency in Russia… President Vladimir Putin on Monday signed a decree allowing foreign citizens and stateless individuals to apply for temporary residency in the country if they share “traditional Russian spiritualand moral values,” even in cases when a person does not speak Russian. The decree states that those who oppose the “destructive neoliberal ideological agenda” in their home country can seek “humanitarian support” from the Russian authorities by applying for atemporary residence permit. It also tasks the government and Foreign Ministry with creating a list of countries Moscow considers to be “pursuing a destructive neoliberal agenda” within 30 days. The radical agenda of the liberal elite is most certainly destroying the western world. But Russia is definitely not a paradise either. And I don’t know why anyone would consider moving to Russia at this point, because if they have the slightest suspicion that you might be a spy you could end up in some horrifying prison formany years to come. The last thing that I wanted to mention in this article involves the Shroud of Turin. A team of scientists examined it using “wide-angle X-ray scattering” to determine when the cloth was originally manufactured… For the new study, scientists at Italy’s Institute of Crystallography of the National Research Council conducted a recent study using wide-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS). The technique measures the natural aging of flax cellulose and converts it to time since manufacture. The team studied eight small samples of fabric from the Shroud of Turin, putting them under an X-ray to uncover tiny details of the linen’s structure and cellulose patterns. So what did they discover? Well, they were able to determine that the cloth was consistent with another linen sample that was from the land of Israel in the first century… ‘The data profiles were fully compatible with analogous measurements obtained on a linen sample whose dating, according to historical records, is 55-74 AD, found at Masada, Israel [Herod’sfamous fortress built on a limestone bedrock overlooking the Dead Sea],’ reads the study published in the journal Heritage. In other words, this study strengthens the argument that the cloth on which the image appears is about 2,000 years old. Needless to say, this will provide even more fuel for debates over the authenticity of the Shroud of Turin. As you can see, a lot has occurred over the past several days. And I believe that the pace of events will accelerate even more as we approach the end of 2024, because we have entered a time of great chaos for the entire planet. Sadly, most people do not understand what is taking place. Most people just assume that life will eventually “return to normal”, but that simply is not going to happen.

The Bible Can We Understand The Trajectory Of World Events

 Only Through the Lens of The Bible Can We Understand The Trajectory Of World Events – By Nathan Jones - https://harbingersdaily.com/only-through-the-lens-of-the-bible-can-we-understand-the-trajectory-of-world-events/ You’ve likely heard the idiom, “Hindsight is 20/20.” The phrase stems from the concept of perfect vision, referring to the visual acuity measured at 20 feet. Concerning the context of this idiom, it doesn’t relate to physical sight, but rather to the clarity, perception, or understanding of past events. It’s easier to analyze and evaluate situationswhen looking back at them with the benefit of knowing what has happened, as opposed to predicting or understanding things in the present moment. As you know, we often understand situations better and more clearly after they’ve happened, rather than beforeor while they are happening. Now that we are more than halfway through 2024, I wonder if any of the prophecies other Bible prophecy teachers were predicting, purely through the lens of the Bible of course, back in late2023, have come true or are increasingly coming true. When it comes to the interpretation of Bible prophecy, is hindsight indeed 20/20? The following Bible prophecy teachers were warning us to look out for these particular end times signs. The World Against the Jews Olivier Melnick — There’s been a dramatic rise in Antisemitism since Hamas’ invasion of Israel onOctober 7, 2023. Not only was Israel hit severely by Hamas (and they behaved like animals, we all understand that), but the whole world turned a corner as a result. You see a lot more Antisemitism being expressed in America and around the world, and the boldnessin which these people are expressing their Antisemitism has been quite shocking. There’s always been Antisemitism, but it was under the carpet; few were talking about it. A little bit here, a little bit there. But now, people are out marching in the streets.They are actually proud of their Antisemitism! In Jeremiah 31:35-37, God gave a recipe to anybody who wants to completely get rid of the Jews. He says that if you can measure the sky, sun, and moon, and count all the stars, then He willforsake Israel. It’s God’s tongue-in-cheek way of saying it’s not going to happen. Unfortunately, there are always going to be some casualties in war, but God is never going to forsake Israel. People need to watch what’s happening in the Middle East—in Israel—becausethe prophetic time clock is ticking. I believe it was Jan Markell who said, “The world is not falling into pieces, rather, it is falling into place.” A lot of people that I’ve talked to in our circles, all agree on one thing—theevents that we’re seeing in front of us are happening faster and the exponential curve is going way up. A lot of end times events are suddenly falling into place. Bear in mind, I don’t think we’ve entered the Tribulation just yet. But, I think that people are starting to see prophetic events falling into place. I’m hoping this convergence is going toattract them to the Bible, and the Bible might lead them to the Lord. For those who don’t have any knowledge of God or don’t believe in Jesus, when they start to compare all these events falling into place in the Middle East and around the world, with thecoming one-world government and a cashless society, they begin to think, “Wow! I’ve been told about this in the Bible. Maybe I should pay attention?” That’s my prayer. Apostasy in the Church Don Perkins — A lot of pastors are being forced to deal with end time prophecy because of propheticevents transpiring all over the world. A lot of pastors have neither a burden nor a desire to study prophecy. But guess what? Prophecy is coming to them regardless because they have sheep who want answers to their questions. People want to know what’s goingon. It seems like the world is falling apart, and they want to know why. People need God’s peace. The book of Isaiah says that wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of our times. In other words, having God’s wisdom and knowledge about the times we are livingin will give you stability. When people don’t understand where we are on God’s prophetic timeline, they go into panic mode. They are fearful because they don’t understand what’s going on. I sleep well every night because I know a sovereign God is in control. Churches are being tempted to fall into apostasy like never before. We’re seeing a lot of that today. People are turning away from the faith. We are suffering from scriptural illiteracy inour churches. I’m praying that more pastors would get back into the Word of God. And don’t turn to Artificial Intelligence! Some pastors are now allowing AI to write their messages. It’s so dangerous to move away from the inspired Word. Use AI to write your Gospel messageand you will get an artificial Gospel. The sheep will not be getting the inspired Word. Apostasy and scriptural illiteracy—my heart’s really concerned about these two things. Rise of the One-World Government J.B. Hixson — I’ve studied for 20 years in-depth the rise of the one-world system—Satan’s attemptto take over this world. I believe we’re seeing a coalescence of several Antichrist system events taking shape all at once. Right now we’re in an election year. The U.S. economy is worse than ever. I mean, it’s beenon life support for decades, but now it’s really bad. The whole Trump drama with all those trials. The war in Israel has been heating up in the north. So much is going on right now. I’ve talked to a lot of Bible prophecy experts, and none of them think life’s going to simmer down. What’s going on will continue to move right into the end times wars. The biggest sign related to the rise of the one-world government that’s changing daily is artificial intelligence and the role of technology in Satan’s attempt to take over the world. That’ssomething to watch. The folks on the inside of Big Tech, they’re concerned about something, they really are. They can’t quite put their finger on it, but they feel like we’re rapidly approaching artificial general intelligence or even artificial superintelligence.When that happens, the genie’s out of the bottle, so to speak. A lot of what’s talked about in the book of Revelation that will happen during the Tribulation period, well the technological foundations are being laid today. It won’t be long before governmentsare going to be able to see everybody, control everybody, track our movements, as well as regulate our buying and selling. So, technology is going to become a big factor in prophetic events. This means, more than ever before, believers need to be ready, to stay in the Word of God, and to look at everything that’s happening through the lens of Scripture, and so be prepared. Growing Fearfulness Mondo Gonzales — I have a lot of family and friends who are not saved, and with the war in Israeland growing Antisemitism, even they are asking, “Is this Armageddon? Is this the end?” We know from Scripture that there’s going to be continuing trouble all the way to the end. I don’t expect there to be peace on earth until the Prince of Peace returns. People over the past few years have not forgotten what happened with COVID-19 and all the tyranny and our liberties being taken. So what we’re seeing now with the Chinese pneumonia and otherdisease scares, we know we’re being spoon-fed fear. Christians need to make sure that we continue to teach biblical discernment. Jesus warned us, “Let no one deceive you.” Deception will rise significantly with AI and quantum computing. Wewill soon be able to fake anything. You can have anybody say anything soon. With this technology, discernment’s going to be out the window. So, we’re going to have to stay close to the Word of God. I was a pastor during COVID-19 and saw the people in our churches become fearful based on external circumstances. I was like, “Hey, guys, this is where the rubber meets the road as it relatesto our faith!” Jesus said in John 16:33, “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” Do we really believe that? I think we believe it, but we are living in the days when we have to implement it. Rest in the Lord and in the truth of Scripture. The Gog-Magog War of Ezekiel 38-39 Lee Brainard — We are seeing the world growing darker and darker all around us. Threatening cloudsare gathering which will result in an awful storm. But, for the believer with the eye of faith, every dark cloud has a silver lining. The silver lining here is the prophetic mileposts that tell us the coming of our Lord Jesus is getting nearer. But first, we’re going to have to live through some ugliness. A hegemony is growing among Russia, Turkey, and Iran. These nations are trying not only to dominate the Middle East and Europe,but they’re trying to bully China into joining them. They want to force America out of their way. This is going to come to a head when they try to invade Israel. Ezekiel 38-39 tells us that God is going to demonstrate to the entire world that He is the onecalling the shots—not Russia, not China, and not America. Review Wars and rumors of wars, social upheavals, false teachers and teachings, the church in apostasy, signs of Israel, signs of nature, signs of technology, a convergence of all the end time signs—clearly,hindsight is indeed 20/20. These signs are all increasing in frequency and intensity, just as Jesus foretold. Knowing this, are you ready for the Lord’s return? You can only become ready by accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, and so be saved. May today be the day of your salvation!

Did God Use an Earthquake in The Middle East to Thwart an Attack On Israel?

 Tectonic Shifts: Did God Use an Earthquake in The Middle East to Thwart an Attack On Israel? – By Mark Hitchcock - https://harbingersdaily.com/tectonic-shifts-did-god-use-an-earthquake-in-the-middle-east-to-thwart-an-attack-on-israel/ Tectonic shifts are taking place in the Middle East. We see tectonic shifts politically, certainly militarily, but now we’re seeing tectonic shifts literally. An earthquake in Syria this lastweek has profoundly affected Hezbollah and could be one of the reasons why Iran and the terror organization have delayed their invasion of Israel. The assassination of Ismail Haniyeh, who was the leader of Hamas, took place in Tehran over two weeks ago on July 31. Iran is insisting that they are going to retaliate against Israel. However,Tehran added that one thing could prevent their attack: a ceasefire in the Israel-Gaza war. The problem is it appears everybody wants the ceasefire except Israel and Hamas in Gaza. Israel intends to prosecute this war to the end, which I believe they should. If they don’t, they’lljust be delaying the inevitable. I don’t think the Hamas leaders in Gaza and surrounding arab nations want this war to end either; they would much prefer to continue using it as leverage and a tool to stoke even more global hatred for Israel. The United States is currently accelerating its deployment of a carrier strike group to the Middle East, even sending a nuclear submarine to this area. Interestingly, the United States doesn’tnormally announce the whereabouts of our nuclear sub’s location—that’s a top secret. I think all of this is happening not because the US wants to escalate but because the US wants to de-escalate. We want the world to see that we have Israel’s back, and hopefully, this willcause Iran to stand down. A Wall Street Journal headline reads, “In Israel, Support Grows for Offensive Against Hezbollah.” There is increased support in Israel to get this thing started and neutralize Hezbollah. There’salso growing fear that Iran and Israel could attack each other’s nuclear facilities—that would, of course, be an apocalyptic scenario if that were to happen. Time will tell how extreme and extensive the war and the destruction will be. The main story I would like to highlight surrounds the earthquake that took place recently in Syria. There’s an article in the Jerusalem Post about this fascinating development. The headlineof the article says, “Heaven sent: Is Lebanon’s earthquake a testament to divine protection?“ Here is some intriguing information the article included: Hezbollah’s underground ambitions may now lie buried, turned to ashes before they had any chance to harm us. In our collective memory, Tisha B’Av has always been a solemn day, marked by the destruction of the First and Second Temples. To provide further context, Tisha B’Av is a day of sorrow and reflection, which usually falls on our calendar in early August. It marks the destruction of Solomon’s Temple in 586 BC and thedestruction of the Second Temple in AD 70. Those events happened on the same day. That’s not an accident—that’s divine providence. It was the hand of God showing the Jewish people that He was behind these destructions that took place because of their disobedienceto Him. The article continues: This year, however, the day bore witness to what many of us view as a modern-day miracle—a testament to divine intervention that could not have come at a more crucial time. Reports confirmed a 5.4-magnitude earthquake that struck Syria and Lebanon, profoundly impacting the region. This was not just any seismic event; it may have served as an unanticipated yetdivine act that thwarted a grave threat against the Jewish nation. Hezbollah, an established proxy of Iran, had been preparing to launch an attack on Israel—a direct affront planned deliberately for Tisha B’Av. Many of the group’s underground tunnels, teemingwith armaments, may have been reduced to rubble by an act of God to protect His children, which could effectively halt Hezbollah’s nefarious plan before it could materialize. It is hard to perceive it as mere coincidence that the earth shook on the very day Hezbollah had intended to send Israel into mourning once more. With tunnels collapsing and their arsenalsburied, what could have been a devastating assault turned into a day of bewildering relief and gratitude. Throughout history, Jews have faced adversaries who sought to dismantle our spirit and our faith. This recent event is yet another example that, irrespective of the gathered forces againstus, divine protection remains steadfast. Tisha B’Av, usually a day of sorrow and reflection, was transformed into a moment where we could see the hand of God in action, turning our potential despair into potential reassurance. It is possible that say that Iran and Hezbollah must now be reeling from this unforeseen disruption. We have previously discussed a number of reasons why Iran may be delaying this invasion. They may be trying to get more concessions out of the West. They may be waiting for air defense systemsto come in from Russia. They may just be afraid. They don’t really want to escalate as the US is moving more assets into the area. There is a multitude of reasons why they might be delaying, but one thing that has yet to be accounted for is that Iran may have had a plan for Tisha B’Av. This earthquake collapsed many Hezbollahtunnels, which may account for this further delay. One thing is sure in all of this: God is in control of the timetable and the scope of any attack by Iran and Hezbollah against Israel. God controls the time, and God controls the extent ofthat attack. Daniel 1:1-2, at the beginning of the book of Daniel in 605 BC, describes the Babylonians coming against Judah and Jerusalem. It reads: “In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king ofJudah came Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon unto Jerusalem, and besieged it. And the Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, with part of the vessels of the house of God: which he carried into the land of Shinar to the house of his god; and he broughtthe vessels into the treasure house of his god.” It’s interesting to note all these verbs in these verses have to do with Nebuchadnezzar. Nebuchadnezzar came, besieged, carried away, and put these articles in the temple in Babylonia. Butin the middle of all the actions of King Nebuchadnezzar, it says, “the Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand.” Nebuchadnezzar thought he was in total control of what was happening, but God was behind the scenes working, and it was God who delivereda Jehoiakim into his hand. God delivers into the enemy’s hand, and God delivers out of the enemy’s hand. We need to remember that with all that is happening in the world today. Pastor Greg Laurie of Harvest Riversideshared a story from history that aptly displays God’s ultimate hand of control over the affairs and wars of nations: History tells us that on the morning of the Battle of Waterloo, Napoleon stood gazing on the field of battle and described to his commanding officer the strategy for that day’s campaign. Thenhe declared that at the end of the day, England would be at the feet of France, and the Duke of Wellington, who was leading the British forces, would be the prisoner of Napoleon. After a pause, Napoleon’s commanding officer boldly said, “We must not forget that man proposes, but God disposes.” With arrogant pride, Napoleon shot back, “I want you to understand, sir, that Napoleon proposes and Napoleon disposes.” Commenting on that statement, Victor Hugo said, “After that moment, Waterloo was lost, for God sent rain and hail so that the troops could not be maneuvered as he had planned, and on the nightof the battle it was Napoleon who was prisoner of Wellington, and France was at the feet of England.” It’s a great and true statement: “man proposes, but God disposes.” And I think we saw that statement play out with the earthquake in the Middle East on Monday. That may have been the day (TishaB’Av) that Hezbollah intended to attack, rubbing salt on their wound during their day of sorrow and reflection—But God had other plans. God’s hand sent this 5.4 magnitude earthquake, literally shifting the tectonic plates to cause this plan to be thwarted. Now, that doesn’t mean that Hezbollah will not attack sometime in the future, but I think it was a message to the Jewish people. It was also a subtle message, I’m sure, that wasn’t lost onHezbollah. They saw these tunnels cave in, wondering, “Here we are making all these plans, and look what’s happening!” It had to give them pause. We need to remember that whatever happens in the Middle East, in fact, whatever happens in our lives, God always has the last word. People are proposing, they do what they want to do, butGod is disposing. God’s will will be done in His time and His way. God is working behind the scenes in His providence, ordering, orchestrating, and overseeing the events of history. Sometimes, God steps in a more open way, like this earthquake, and shows His Hand. This is just one little kind of glimmer of light, if you will, in this dark situation, to show us that Godis present and God is at work. I hope you’ll see that and look for that in your own life as well.

Christians involvement in Government

 Christians involvement in Government - Bill Wilson – www.dailyjot.com Many have written in about whether Christians should be involved in government and politics. Some say their pastors are preaching from the pulpit that Christians are members of a higher kingdomand should not be involved with government and politics. Another popular preached position is that the scriptures say that we must submit to, rather than engage, the governments because they are placed over people by God. Yet another position taught is thatChristians should take over governments because they must establish the kingdom of God here on earth as a prerequisite for Christ to return. These various teachings are wrong-minded and many are twisting scripture to make their case. Here is why. There is nothing in the Bible that man must establish the kingdom of God on earth so that Jesus Christ can return. Only the Father knows when Christ will return. He will return when the Fatherdirects him. Christ alone will establish his kingdom. It’s all there in the scriptures. On government, we find Moses in Exodus 18 spending all his day interpreting the law and settling disputes. Moses’ father-in-law introduced the “representative” system ofgovernment in verse 21: “Moreover, you shall provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.” America’sFounding Fathers used this precept to establish the US governmental system. Moreover, whether they were Christians or not, the Founders knew that man’s imperfections prevented him from being a just and moral lawgiver. They, therefore, recognized that God had createdman with certain rights and to protect those rights governments were instituted. To protect the people from government becoming tyrannical, the Founders uniquely established a government by rule of law, derived from God’s laws, with checks and balances underthe Constitution. Peter and the Apostles made the point of man’s unjust and imperfect law-giving when they told the Sadducees (who ruled over the Jews in submission to the Roman government) in Acts 5:29 when the Sadducees again tried to prevent them from preachingJesus: “We ought to obey God rather than men.” Paul wrote in Romans 13:1, “Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that are ordained of God.” It is telling us to submit to the governmentsand do good beneath them. It is not contradictory to Peter and the Apostles in Acts 5. Here in America, the government governs at the consent of the governed under the law. We the people essentially are the boss of the government. We are to hold the governmentaccountable. If we are to take what Paul wrote in Romans 13 and apply it to Americans, it would mean that Americans should submit to Americans under God’s derived law (The Constitution). Good stewardship is to preserve this unique system for it is a tremendousblessing to have freedom of speech, of worship, and of evangelizing. It is a God-given blessing.

God Is Delaying for You!

 God Is Delaying for You! - By Stephen Meehan - https://www.raptureready.com/2024/08/20/god-is-delaying-for-you-by-stephen-meehan/ The Word of God – the Bible – informs us that Jesus Christ is coming back to Earth to rule and reign for a thousand years from the city of Jerusalem in Israel. His second coming will be intwo stages: first, He will come back for those Christians who are presently trusting in Him by faith and will take them to Heaven; and secondly, He will come back approximately seven years later with His Body of Believers – the Church – to set up His worldwidegovernment from the Jewish State. In the interim, He is allowing just a bit more time for non-believers to accept Christ for their salvation before the worst time in human history is unleashed upon the world. A seven-yeartime frame will engulf the world in what Jesus describes as the most horrendous period ever, and He is pleading with you now to accept His free offer to escape what is on the horizon. Will you be wise enough to take His free offer and avoid what is coming? To those of us who study Bible prophecy, we see the signs all around the globe that the prophesied seven-year period called the Tribulation can be only moments away. The Rapture of the Church for Christ’s true followers is an imminent event, and no signs are needed to herald its soon coming. But the Tribulation “week” of years has many indicators thatpoint to its nearness, and the current conditions of the world leave no mistake that it will very soon get underway. God has been very patient to allow sin to abound during these End Times in a variety of grotesque manifestations, but His grace can only extend so far before even He will say enough, and Hiswrath will then be poured out upon the planet due to the unquenching lust for ungodly behavior and for rejecting His free gift of salvation through His son Jesus Christ. Will it be worth it to continue to say no to God and then have to endure what is coming soon and then maybe have to spend an eternity in anguish and regret? The answer should be obvious. Matthew 24 and the book of Revelation detail the worsening condition of life on Earth after Christ first removes His saints via the Rapture. While Christians will be safely out of harm’s wayin God’s Kingdom, the forces of evil will be allowed to prosper in forming a human-satanic world government, and with each passing day of this seven-year judgment period, the world will witness an ever-increasing level of chaos, strife, pandemics, racial andethnic tensions, wars and calamities. Life will become unbearable. Jesus even says in Matthew 24 that unless He returns after seven years of this Hell on Earth, no flesh would be saved. It will be an unprecedented time of humansuffering, never to be repeated. God wants you to miss it. God is delaying it – for now. So, the Christians will be gone out of the world before this time starts. Jesus will descend out of Heaven and will call His own to meet Him in the air above the world, where He will thenescort us into His Heaven. He has been busy for the past 2,000 years or so preparing a place for us in the Father’s House, and there we will enjoy the glories of Paradise. There will be a reward ceremony where believerswill be rewarded for their service to Christ. Every saint will stand before Him, and He will dole out His crowns and medals or treasures to the Christian, with the level of reward being dependent on our value of service to Him. This will far and away supersedeany Olympic ceremony ever performed or witnessed! Better to be a participant of this ceremony in Heaven than to experience God’s wrath taking place on Earth. This will also be a time for Christians to be reunited with friends or family who have preceded us in death and who have been waiting for this grand reunion of loved ones. Those who have missedout on the Rapture will be experiencing on Earth something completely different. Take action now to avoid having to go through what is certainly coming according to God’s Word! Back on Earth, after the evacuation of possibly millions of followers of Christ, extreme panic sets in. The world has drastically changed. People will feel a pall that hangs in the air. Theworld feels different; it feels darkened. Evil will be on the rise. Life is instantly more precarious. Fear will grip the inner being of each individual. Hope will wane. It is much more than just a sense of something that is not right. Despair creeps in as people come to realize that whatever some crazy Christian may have warned them about regarding the futureis now coming to fruition. They are gone; we are still here. Why didn’t I pay more attention or heed their warnings? I should have listened and not equated their warnings to nonsense. The Bible says that the restraining influence of the Holy Spirit that indwells each true believer will be removed with the Rapture of the Church. God, being omnipresent, will still be presenteverywhere, but the Restrainer – the Holy Spirit – working within the Body of Christ, will be suddenly gone, and the forces of evil will have a more effective ability to wreak havoc across the world’s landscape. God is still in control, but He will allow Satanand his minions – fallen angels or demons working along with willing human agents – to carry out their nefarious agenda. God will incrementally pour out his wrath onto a Christ-rejecting world via a series of seven seals, seven trumpets, and seven bowls or vials of judgments. With each passing judgment, lifebecomes more and more harsh. All of these punishments are taking place while Satan has his antichrist figure taking control of the world and sending out his hordes to control every aspect of life on the planet and to kill off those who don’t go along withhis agenda. As horrific as the Holocaust was, Satan and his False Prophet will have their own Inquisitions and Crusades to root out and destroy both Jews and Christians in a worldwide campaign. They willactually go after ALL who refuse to swear allegiance to the Beast or Antichrist – as the Bible refers to him – by not accepting his mark or number on their hand or forehead. Refusing the mark will instantly identify someone as a nonconformist or a new believerin Christ. Death will be the sentence for such an infraction. Far better to accept Christ now and avoid these measures. The Bible tells us that there will be many people who will accept Jesus during the Tribulation. But they will face almost certain martyrdom for bucking the system and for worshipping Jesusthen, and not Satan or his antichrist. Salvation will still be available, but it will come at a terrible cost. You may have to watch your loved ones getting tortured or beheaded or both. Satan will take no prisoners. He wants worship,and if you refuse it, examples will be made of non-compliant people in an effort to dissuade other folks from accepting Christ. Say yes to Jesus today! This will not be a fun time. Life will be far from normal. We are already witnessing a preview of what is to come. More restrictions are being implemented in every facet of governance. Satan hates the Jews and has his antisemites rioting and protesting against Israel and the Jewish people all over the world. Leftist WOKE agendas are on the increase. Borders are wide opento allow in miscreants and those who don’t conform to the norms and mores of the host nations that the illegal migrants are invading. Governments are out of control. World leaders are corrupt, inept, and are establishing laws that inflict pain on their citizens. The time is ripe for Satan’s antichrist world figure to assume control. Western nations are weakening their countries from within and are inviting in from the outside forces that will tearapart the fabric of peace and security. All of that is, by design, to prepare for the arrival of the soon-coming world government. We are not far away at all from the beginning of this judgment. Are you prepared for what is coming? Are you safeguarding the well-being of your family by getting them to accept Jesus now before it is too late? Again, you can still get saved during the Tribulation, but why wait and suffer due to putting it off? The logic of waiting to see if it will all transpire the way the Bible describes whatis coming is not rational. God is not in the business of lying; He is in the saving business. He is not out to trip you up. That is the other guy’s job description. God wants you saved now and to avoid what is almost here. By saying yes to Christ now, you can be saved in an instant. He will soon come for you if you do accept His free gift of salvation,and the seven years in Heaven will be far more enjoyable than witnessing God’s wrath fall on planet Earth. You will be safe in the Father’s House instead of fleeing the antichrist’s worldwide pursuit of Christians and Jews. You will dine fabulously at the Father’s table during the Marriage Supperof the Lamb versus starving during the extreme famine that will encompass the globe. The Rapture will happen soon; the Christians will be gone. The Tribulation will then get underway; worldwide upheaval and death will then commence. Sound like something to avoid? Rewards or judgment? The choice is yours. God wants you to choose Jesus. Satan wants to deceiveyou with the antichrist and his hellish campaign.
