Prophecy Update: July 14th 2017

This week I want to take a look at a lot of headlines and comment on them. Each of the articles I chose is because they have something to do with prophecy. The first one is about the apostasy in the church. “But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons, by means of the hypocrisy of liars seared in their own conscience as with a branding iron.” (1 Timothy 4:1-2).

What do Christianity, Judaism, and Islam have in common? A Christian apologist and educator is warning Christians of the dangers of syncretism, as there’s been a great push to find common theological ground between Christianity and Islam in the last decade. “I would say Jews and Christians should definitely be careful in building leagues and alliances with a belief system that basically believes [Jews and Christians] are infidels and should be coerced into conversion or be executed,” he submits. “I definitely believe that Islam is a religion that is of Satan, not of God,” he says. “I know former Muslims who have converted to Christianity, who have talked about the demonic activity — satanic activity — that is associated with Islam.” For some reason the church is deceived by a false sense of love and compassion. Is it unloving for a Christian to tell the truth about Islam that it is a false religion and the Allah is a false god? When you cannot identify the idols of the age you are bound to be deceived by them. That is the case today in the church unfortunately. Pastor Ron Graham said, On a marquee in front of a church I passed one day were the following words: “The cornerstone of the Christian church is truth not tolerance.”

God has announced to the world that He is bringing all of His people the Jews back to their land, all of it. The world is resisting this in some blatant ways. The world just snubbed its nose at God by declaring that Hebron and Jerusalem are not Jewish cities. Consider these passages: Is.62:4-5, It will no longer be said to you, “Forsaken,” Nor to your land will it any longer be said, “Desolate”; But you will be called, “My delight is in her,” And your land, “Married”; For the LORD delights in you, And to Him your land will be married. For as a young man marries a virgin, So your sons will marry you; And as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, So your God will rejoice over you.” Notice how God is very clear that He is going to marry His people to His land! Ezekiel 36:2, says, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD, “Because the enemy has spoken against you, ‘Aha!’ and, ‘The everlasting heights have become our possession,’ notice that this is the attitude of the whole world today. The UN mocks Israel by taking their land and declaring that it is not Jewish. Ezekiel 36:6-8, Therefore prophesy concerning the land of Israel and say to the mountains and to the hills, to the ravines and to the valleys, “Thus says the Lord GOD, ‘Behold, I have spoken in My jealousy and in My wrath because you have endured the insults of the nations.’ “Therefore thus says the Lord GOD, ‘I have sworn that surely the nations which are around you will themselves endure their insults. ‘But you, O mountains of Israel, you will put forth your branches and bear your fruit for My people Israel; for they will soon come.” Consider these headlines:

What Occupation? Most Israelis Say This Land is Ours (Israel Today). A growing majority of Israelis no longer sees the presence of Jews or the Israeli military in the so-called “West Bank” as an occupation. Many do see it as a fulfillment of biblical prophecy.

Jerusalem Post 7/11/2017, Berlin mayor rapped for terrorist group fund-raising event. Berlin Mayor Michael Müller was under fire on Monday for failing to stop a local fund-raising event for the terrorist organization the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP). The PFLP is responsible for scores of suicide bombings in Israel as well as plane hijackings. In 2001, the PFLP assassinated Israeli tourism minister Rehavam Ze’evi.

In defiance of UNESCO, settlers urge Israeli cabinet meeting at Tomb of Patriarchs By Tovah Lazaroff July 11, 2017 “Israel is still very much incensed by the UN agency’s decision to define Hebron’s Old City and the Tomb of the Patriarchs as endangered Palestinian sites.” The nations are experiencing what Jesus said in Luke 21:24, “And Jerusalem will be trampled underfoot by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.” The times of the Gentiles is coming to an end and Satan and his minions are rebelling.

The world through its governments is attacking the church more and more. Consider this headline from Sweden:

Priests in the Church of Sweden need to perform same-sex “marriages” or find another job, Prime Minister Stefan Löfven told Swedish outlet Kyrkans Tidning. He compared priests unwilling to perform same-sex “weddings” with midwives unwilling to participate in abortions. A Swedish high court recently ruled against a midwife who has fought for years to not be forced to help with abortions. The midwife, Ellinor Grimmark, is taking her case to the European Court of Human Rights. The Church of Sweden allows female clergy. The lesbian bishop of Stockholm, who is “married” to another woman priest, has been criticized for suggesting a church should replace its crosses with Muslim symbols.

I have been amazed at the wars and rumors of wars headlines each week, this one is amazing.

Retired Green Beret Warns: “There Could Be A Nuclear Strike Against The US Coming Soon” As far back as April 7, 2015, Admiral Bill Gortney (the former commander of North American Aerospace Defense, a.k.a. NORAD) gave a press conference in which he warned of North Korea’s capabilities with an ICBM, an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile…warned that North Korea could strike the United States with a nuclear warhead on an ICBM…he stated this in 2015. Six months prior, in October of 2014 Admiral Gortney stated that North Korea had nuclear weapons, had miniaturization capabilities, and could place them on missiles that could reach the continental United States. Fast-forward to this year. There was a joint article that was penned by Dr. Peter V. Pry, America’s foremost expert on EMP (Electromagnetic Pulse) threats posed to the United States by foreign nations and the head of every committee to brief Congress on those issues. “The mainstream media, and some officials who should know better, continue to allege North Korea does not yet have capability to deliver on its repeated threats to strike the U.S. with nuclear weapons. False reassurance is given to the American people that North Korea has not “demonstrated” that it can miniaturize a nuclear warhead small enough for missile delivery, or build a reentry vehicle for an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) capable of penetrating the atmosphere to blast a U.S. city. “A small misjudgment or error can immediately lead to the beginning of a nuclear war, which will inevitably lead to another world war.” Does anyone really think that China and Russia will sit this one out, and that it will all be just an EMP by North Korea followed by a couple of nukes dropped by the U.S.?

The USA has attacked the financial assets of North Korea. “U.S. authorities have tried to seize millions of dollars associated with several companies that deal with North Korea, including the country’s military, from eight large international banks, according to court filings made public on Thursday. The effort was revealed two days after North Korea tested a long-range missile capable of reaching Alaska, ratcheting up tensions with the United States and adding to worries about North Korea leader Kim Jong Un’s nuclear weapons plans. Thursday’s filings show that Chief Judge Beryl Howell of the federal court in Washington, D.C. on May 22 granted U.S. prosecutors’ applications for “damming” seizure warrants against Bank of America Corp, Bank of New York Mellon Corp, Citigroup Inc, Deutsche Bank AG, HSBC Holdings Plc, JPMorgan Chase & Co, Standard Chartered Plc and Wells Fargo & Co.” With measures such as military exercises and money seizures, it can be clearly seen that Un and North Korea are being maneuvered into a situation where the only recourses are capitulation to the U.S./IMF or to conduct a strike against the United States. North Korea has that capability right now…to launch a nuclear strike against the continental United States.

I have been following the development of EMP weapons for years. I received the updated study from the Heritage Foundation when they published it a few years ago. The United States has had the knowledge to prepare for this but our politicians have stopped anyone who has seriously tried to get us to prepare. This is either willful or they are deceived to believe that no one would ever launch an EMP attack against the US. Iran and North Korea have both practiced launching EMP weapons. Who do you think they want to attack with them? Green Beret Jeremiah Johnson ended his article with this ominous warning:

Reportedly South Korean military intelligence concluded, independent of the EMP Commission, that Russian scientists are in North Korea helping develop a Super-EMP warhead. In 2012, a military commentator for the People’s Republic of China stated that North Korea has Super-EMP nuclear warheads. A Super-EMP warhead would not weigh much, and could probably be delivered by North Korea’s ICBM. The missile does not have to be accurate, as the EMP field is so large that detonating anywhere over the United States would have catastrophic consequences.

So, as of Dec. 12, North Korea’s successful orbit of a satellite demonstrates its ability to make an EMP attack against the United States – right now.”

In conclusion, God is getting ready to bring wars to the earth because of the nation’s refusal to acknowledge the Lords works and ways. This is especially true in regard to Israel. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!
