Prophecy Update: Friday August 18, 2017
I am concerned that people are not paying attention to how God works in history. The general knee jerk reaction of many Christians is that God does not cause wars, weather, and hard times. They prefer to see those things as coming from Satan. I faced this head on when 9/11 happened in 2001. The sovereignty of God dictates that God is in charge of all that happens in history. Proverbs 16:4 says, The LORD has made everything for its own purpose, even the wicked for the day of evil.” Notice that the verse says, “The Lord made everything for its own purpose; Learn then this basic truth, that the Creator is absolutely Sovereign, executing His own will, performing His own pleasure, and considering nought but His own glory.” (A.W. Pink Sovereignty of God) God did not make the world and then withdraw so He has no part in the working of the creation. God is the designer and the sustainer of the creation. Hebrews 1:3 says that God is upholding all things by the word of His power. God controls the universe and the nations. Do you see that the nations are on a collision course with destiny?
Bill Koening wrote that the last eight and a half years have been terrible for America. He mentions these evils advanced in America from the Obama administration:
• The government ran roughshod over the U.S. Constitution.
• Undermined America’s Judicial System
• World’s number one promoter of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT)
• Celebrated Supreme Court decision on same-sex marriage with a rainbow imaged on the White House
• Directed a destructive transformation of the U.S. military
• Lectured God-fearing Christians on how to behave
• A Muslim apologist and defender of Islam in America
• Passionate about Middle East refugees coming to America
• Expressed no emotion over Christians being persecuted for their faith
• Endangered Israel and U.S. Middle East allies by destabilizing the region
• U.S. Federal Debt will almost double to $20 trillion; Federal Reserve debt increased over $4 trillion; personal debt at record levels.
With these things in mind, the election of Donald Trump has thrown the advocates of Communism in our land into a demonic frenzy. When is the last time you saw the promotion of assassinating the president of the United States in the press and Hollywood? Newsweek had this headline in June, “Johnny Depp is Not the First Celebrity to Joke About Wanting Donald Trump Dead.” Madonna also threatened the president when she said, “Yes, I have thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House.” Snoop Dog shot a music video advocating the assassination of the president. Perhaps the most direct and shocking of the Trump assassination stories was that of the U.S. comedian Kathy Griffin who posed in a photoshoot holding a bloodied fake head that clearly depicted Trump. The New York City-based organization staged a modern interpretation of William Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar in the city’s Central Park in May and June. The play sparked criticism for its depiction of the lead character in the style of Trump, replete with wild blond hair and an oversized red tie. As in Shakespeare’s original, Caesar is assassinated by his close ally Brutus and others in the performance. The University of Central Florida allowed the unregistered student group the Knights of Socialism to hold an event last month during which they encouraged kids to bash pinatas of Trump and other top Trump administration officials. Around the nine-minute mark of a video they posted, one boy asks if he can “kill Donald Trump.”
The Presidents worldview is polar opposite of the alt left. The alt left is made up of those who wish to destroy the constitution and remake America in their own image. Unfortunately for us, most of the media goes along with the alt left. What the alt left cannot stand is Jesus and His church. Those who tell the truth about what is happening are anathema to them. Thus, so much hate is coming through what they are saying and doing. Make no mistake, this is Satanic and our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the world forces of darkness! This darkness extends from our country to communist North Korea and China.

“The Clinton, Bush and Obama administrations all opted not to take concerted action against North Korea, instead embracing the easy road of appeasement. All three let the threat grow as they kicked the North Korean nuclear can down the road. They engaged in nuclear talks with Pyongyang that North Korea exploited to develop nuclear weapons and missile systems.” China has used the North Korean peninsula as their personal tool against the west. Now that nuclear war is a real possibility, people have fear in their hearts. Do not fear, Jesus has a great plan in all of this. Just as the North Korean deals were designed to prevent them from getting nuclear bombs and failed, so the Iran deal will also fail. Consider this headline:
Obama’s Iran Deal Sounds a Lot Like Clinton’s Failed North Korea Deal July 20, 2015 5:00 am Washington Free Beacon
“President Obama’s defense of his nuclear deal with Iran echoes President Bill Clinton’s defense of his disastrous nuclear deal with North Korea, the Free Beacon found.” In 1994, the Clinton administration tried to entice North Korea to forgo its nuclear program by giving it oil, nuclear energy technology, and sanctions relief. The deal collapsed after a decade when North Korea pocketed U.S. concessions and raced for the bomb. The hermit kingdom tested its first nuclear weapon in 2006 and has subsequently developed enough nuclear material for six bombs. Today, the Obama administration is trying to entice Iran to forgo its nuclear program by giving it nuclear technology, $100 to $150 billion in previously-frozen assets, and sanctions relief on its weapons trade, ballistic missile program, and top military commanders. The restrictions on Iran’s nuclear program begin to subside after eight years, leaving the Islamic republic with near-zero breakout time to construct a bomb when the deal ends.
When this was taking place in 2015 and 2016 I was resigned to the fact that Obama was going to be successful in his attempt to help Iran get the bomb. I fought against it, went to senators offices, went to Washington D.C. to lobby against it, and all the time knowing in my heart that my efforts were going to be fruitless. I thought this way because I know Bible prophecy. Iran needed to strengthen and America needed to weaken for the Ezekiel 38-39 prophecy to be fulfilled. The Washington Free Press article went on to say:
“Both Clinton and Obama claimed that their deals reduced the risk of nuclear proliferation, although Clinton’s deal ultimately led to further proliferation concerns. Since acquiring its nuclear arsenal, North Korea has exported nuclear secrets to other rogue regimes, including Iran and Syria.”
In a very direct way, then, Clinton’s rapprochement with North Korea has contributed to the crisis unfolding in Iran. Iran has used its up to 400 billion dollars to increase terrorism, troops to the border of Israel, to take more land in Iraq and Syria, and to dominate her neighbors.
America and Israel are spiritually connected. When America cursed Israel in this Iran deal, God started judging our country over this evil. We have not yet repented over the sins our country committed the last 5 years. I have been praying that this administration would renounce the Iran deal, declare Jerusalem the capital of Israel, move the embassy, and get rid of the Oberegfell decision which established gay marriage as law. Remember that the Obergefell decision was during the four Blood Moons—June 26, 2015. The Iran deal was July 14th 2015 during the Blood Moons. At the same time, Russia and Iran entered Syria and God set up the Gog Magog war.
The last solar eclipse in the USA was August 21, 1914. There also was a total solar eclipse over Turkey, the Ottoman Empire. As you know, this is when WW1 started and it destroyed the Ottoman Empire. This total solar eclipse is also Aug. 21st and that sends shivers down my spine. If I could say anything to the church and to the nation, repent. August 21 is also the first of Ellul on the biblical calendar. This eclipse is like a sign that the bridge is out—we need to start repenting or God’s judgment will get worse. This is what happened in Haggai 1:1-2, on the first of Ellul God warned the Jews, rebuild the temple. “Thus says the LORD of hosts, ‘This people says, “The time has not come, even the time for the house of the LORD to be rebuilt.” So God began to up the pressure on the Jews until they obeyed. Jesus spoke about signs in the heavens in Luke 21:25, “There will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth dismay among nations, in perplexity at the roaring of the sea and the waves.” Signs are for repenting. God is merciful and always give warnings.
Back to Iran and North Korea: The news is that North Korea is about to test another nuke and it is for Iran. Iran and North Korea have client states who have miniaturized Nukes that you can put on a ICBM. Both Iran and North Korea have tested and launched ICBM’s. This is dangerous for all of us and I have yet to see anyone outside of President Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu who has the courage to stand up to the threats. Our greatest need in the USA is not a strong leader but repentance. Europe is so weak but they are looking for a strong leader—they need repentance. From 1917 to 2017, God has been screaming to the nations to repent and we have not. This is why it is the time of the end times, the time of the spirit of the Anti-Christ.
When Jesus died on the cross, He gave two signs that are hard to neglect; An earthquake and an eclipse for 3 hours. What is the objective of the sign: repent and receive Jesus as Lord and Savior. (Matthew 27:45, 51-53) When the eclipse starts in America, it is at the very same moment of the sun setting in Jerusalem. The last eclipse to go across the whole nation was 1918 and we had a flu pandemic that killed 675,000 Americans. God help us!
