Prophecy Update: China, Russia, and the coming war with America! 3/6/20

I was traveling with the Ashland University basketball team to Grand Valley University on Tuesday, the game was at 8pm. On the way home I had a chance to listen to Coast to Coast, it is a five hour drive from Allendale Michigan to Ashland Ohio. The guest speaker spoke about biblical prophecy and the fall of America. I was intrigued because he was quoting books I had read concerning Russia. The speaker gave the gospel so I was excited about what God would do with that. What I was not excited about was that he was setting dates. That is never a good idea because God does not give us dates on when the end times events will commence. He gives us the signs, we can observe the signs and then preach the Word of God. Let it happen in God’s sovereign timing, and then you will not be dishonoring the Word of God.

What intrigued me though was his thoughts on Russia and China. Russia is most definitely in the Scriptures and they are preparing to invade the Middle East and Israel. I want to take this opportunity to give some evidence that Russia and China are preparing to go to war with the USA, in fact, they are already using asymmetrical warfare against us.

In 2016, Douglas Schoen published a book that outlined the designs for Russian world dominance. “Putin’s Master Plan: To destroy Europe, Divide NATO, and restore Russian Power and Global Influence” : This book is typical of a number of books about Russia that have been released the last few years. When the Soviet Union fell, the argument for years regarding that fall has fallen in two camps. One believes that it was a managed fall, whereby the KGB tricked the West, so that they can more easily destroy the USA and thus destroy the West. The other side sees it as a victory of democracy and freedom over the evil empire with no other evil designs from the communists. One persistent problem that supports the first theory is the leader of Russia today, the former KGB officer, Vladimir Putin. Putin is the dictator of Russia and plans on staying in power until he accomplishes his biggest goals. Former KGB officers hold many important government positions in the Putin government. Putin plans on destroying NATO, America, and reclaiming the Baltics.

In his speech last year (2019) Mr. Putin cataloged an array of new weapons that he said Russia was developing, while animations showed missiles striking the United States. (Florida) This year he mentioned just a few. Putin once casually said over dinner that he could destroy America in a half-hour or less. (2011) Since 2011, Putin has threatened to nuke America every year. He seems obsessed with nuking our country. Now imagine if Russia unites with a country that has designs on destroying America? That’s the problem we face today, Russia and China are cooperating with each other to see their dream fulfilled, no more America. As the Iranians say, death to America! Here is an article about this problem from Nov.2019:

In Future Wars, the U.S. Military Will Have Nowhere to Hide. “New technologies enable Russia and China to destroy U.S. bases and logistics networks—including those on the homeland.” It has been a longstanding goal of both China and Russia to destroy the USA. Two Chinese colonels wrote a book about applying asymmetrical warfare against the USA to destroy the country. Russia also has written much about the desire and plan to destroy America. Movies like the ‘Hunt For Red October’ were common during the cold war. Today we do not see movies like this because we have lost all context on what the Russians want to achieve. Check out this headline from Political in Oct.2019,
We’re More at Risk of Nuclear War With Russia Than We Think:
“U.S. lawmakers on both sides of the aisle need to start addressing the danger. By GEORGE BEEBE October 07, 2019. In the 1950s and 1960s, Americans genuinely and rightly feared the prospect of nuclear war with the Soviet Union. Schoolchildren regularly participated in air raid drills. Federal, state and local governments prepared for operations in the event of a nuclear emergency. Today, that old dread of disaster has all but disappeared, as have the systems that helped preclude it. But the actual threat of nuclear catastrophe is much greater than we realize. Diplomacy and a desire for global peace have given way to complacency and a false sense of security that nuclear escalation is outside the realm of possibility. That leaves us unprepared for—and highly vulnerable to—a nuclear attack from Russia. In fact, cyber technologies, artificial intelligence, advanced hypersonic weapons delivery systems and antisatellite weaponry are making the U.S.-Russian shadow war much more complex and dangerous than the old Cold War competition.” It is up in the air right now if we can stop two types of nuclear attack: Electronic Magnetic Pulse and the Hypersonic Nuclear missiles.

China and Russia are working to destroy democracy, and our victory is not assured: Oct.2019
Illiberalism and authoritarianism are on the march at the expense of liberal democracy. We see the authoritarianism in the current election cycle where some politicians threaten physical harm if they do not get their way. Just this week the Supreme Court was threatened with physical harm if they vote against abortion. The Chinese use a constant barrage of cyber attacks on our infrastructure. Here is a story about that: Security News This Week: An Unprecedented Cyberattack Hit US Power Utilities: 09/07/2019. “The hackers did use firewall vulnerabilities to cause periodic “blind spots” for grid operators in the western US for about 10 hours on March 5. It’s the first known time a cyberattack has caused that kind of disruption—which, again, did not affect the actual flow of electricity—at a US power grid company.” Several countries are using cyber attacks on our electric grid currently including Iran, Russia, North Korea, and China.

328 Chinese nationals illegally crossing US border caught so far in 2020: 3/6/20. The Washington Examiner said those efforts to apprehend Chinese nationals illegally crossing the border have been an extension of U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s (CBP) heightened awareness of the spread of coronavirus. Another unnamed senior administration official told Washington Examiner, “We have a unique public health threat posed by individuals arriving unlawfully at the border. The Heritage Foundation has been a source of great information for me concerning EMP technology, Russia, and war with China. Here is a recent article concerning Russia:
“Russia remains an acute and formidable threat both to the United States and to U.S. interests in Europe. From the Arctic to the Baltics, Ukraine, and the South Caucasus, and increasingly in the Mediterranean, Russia continues to foment instability in Europe. Despite economic problems, Russia continues to prioritize the rebuilding of its military and funding for its military operations abroad. Russia’s military and political antagonism toward the United States continues unabated, and its efforts to undermine U.S. institutions and the NATO alliance are serious and troubling. Russia uses its energy position in Europe along with espionage, cyberattacks, and information warfare to exploit vulnerabilities and seeks to drive wedges into the transatlantic alliance and undermine people’s faith in government and societal institutions.” Fortunately for us, Russia is bogged down in the Middle East, but make no mistake: they are mad at us for many reasons.
Turkey and Russia lock horns in Syria as fear of outright war escalates: March 1, 2020. “As the nine-year Syrian civil war enters its final turn, Turkey and Russia, long-time allies in Syria, are on the brink of war over the Syrian province of Idlib. In September 2018, Turkey, Russia and Iran signed an agreement (also called the Sochi accord) to create a de-escalation zone in Idlib, where violent hostilities were prohibited. Claiming that jihadist groups did not leave the zone after more than a year, Syrian government forces launched an offensive in December 2019. The offensive displaced more than 900,000 civilians. This was followed by the Syrian government forces attacking a Turkish observation post and killing 13 Turkish soldiers.”

Assad of Syria says that he has authority over his country so attacking jihadist groups in the Idlib province is within his rights. Russia sides with Syria over this attack. Turkey disagrees, the result of the Syrian armies attacking in Idlib is 900,000 refugees fleeing into Turkey. Turkey has threatened both Russia and Europe over the problems in Idlib. It is the tale of two borders now. In the south the news as of Feb. 20, 2020: Some 900,000 people in northwest Syria have been displaced by conflict since Dec. 1, 2019. As attacks move further north in Idlib, people are increasingly squeezed into a small area near the closed border with Turkey, which was already hosting hundreds of thousands of displaced people. As Syria keeps attacking in Idlib, more people are on the run. In the north of Turkey, refugees are being forced to enter Europe thru Greece. Greece is not opening the border. Greece says they are being invaded by Turkey. Turkey has blackmailed Europe for money, billions of dollars so that the Syrian migrants stay in Turkey or go back home. Bulgaria is the other country that Turkey is forcing the migrants towards. Bulgaria also has closed the border. “Bulgaria says it is tightening security along its border with Turkey to prevent an inflow of illegal migrants amid reports that Ankara may be relaxing its border controls to allow Syrian refugees to enter the European Union.” Russia is furthering disaster for Europe for its own designs with weaponizing illegal immigrants. China is doing that to the USA. Another reason that Russia hates us is the natural gas industries foray into Europe. This is America competing with Russia for European dollars over energy! Russia has a corner on the market and they hate what we are doing in Europe. Our natural gas is selling at half of Russia’s!

Russia is ‘fearful’ of US competition in the European gas market, official says: 2/20/2020. The U.S. wants to increase its LNG exports to Europe, a region where Russia is the dominant supplier. One gas pipeline, Nord Stream 2, has proved so controversial to the U.S. that the Trump administration announced in December that it would slap sanctions on any firms involved in finishing (it is near completion) the pipeline.

The pipeline runs from Russia to Germany, via the Baltic Sea floor and through the territories of several other countries. It is owned and will be operated by Russian energy giant Gazprom, which said in January that it would finish the pipeline alone due to sanctions; it is expected to be operation in early 2021. “Russia sees what’s coming in terms of the U.S. energy exports, they see the gas prices in the U.S. are tremendously low, they’re very competitive, and we’re about to double our export capacity of LNG, so they’re fearful of competition,” he said. Why is God using Russia and China against us? I think it is because we have not repented of all of our sins as a nation. Just as Europe left the faith, we are leaving the faith. I thank God for all of the true believers in Europe who are holding the line, but their culture has crossed the line. Here is an article about that.

Europe Leaves Christianity for ‘Paganism’: 03-04-2020. “Europe today has more empty church buildings than it knows what to do with because Europe is, by and large, no longer Christian. You could say these churches are the remnants of a “lost civilization.” Christian civilization. It was once at the very heart of Europe’s life and culture. Those days are over. “In Britain, something like seventy or seventy-five percent of British under 30 say they have no religion,” says theologian Stephen Bullivant. Attorney Andrea Williams of Christian Concern in London says, “I think that what is hard for people in America to understand is that the people of Great Britain really have no notion of what Christianity is.” This is not true of the USA. We still have a vital faith and many in our country are fighting against the rising tide of secularism and Satanism. When I look at the nation it is a jarring truth that the nation is divided as never before. Democrats fight Democrats, Liberals are fighting conservatives, leftists hate Christians, and Christians keep standing up for morals and ethics in our country without apology. Thank God for all those who in our country do not give up standing for the truth. Thank God for our president who has stood with the Christians against the leftists. This will lift your spirits, did you hear of the pastor in Virginia?
Chaos at Virginia Legislature After Pastor Recites Antigay Prayer: FEBRUARY 12 2020.
A minister’s prayer condemning same-sex marriage and abortion caused some members of the Virginia House of Delegates to walk out Tuesday and the speaker of the House to slam her gavel and cut him off. The Rev. Robert Grant Jr. of the Father’s Way Church in Warrenton, Va., delivered the opening prayer for the session; this duty goes to clergy members from a variety of faiths, and their prayers “are usually nonpolitical,” the Virginia Mercury reports. But Grant did not shy away from political issues. He told House members that they risked God’s wrath for not following the Bible. He denounced abortion, saying, “All life is precious and worthy of a chance to be born.”

Pastor Grant is an American hero, he deserves a medal, not condemnation. If you need a reason for God delaying His wrath on America, it is all of the Christians in this country who are like Pastor Grant. Many American Christians are standing up in the face of evil and telling the truth and preaching the gospel! It is so thrilling to watch God protect our country as Russia and China wish us harm. I pray that righteous people keep coming into office so that righteous decrees advance once again in America. Contrast these two verses: Psalm 11:3, If the foundations are destroyed,
What can the righteous do?” and Proverbs 13:34, Righteousness exalts a nation, But sin is a disgrace to any people. The foundations have been destroyed when abortion laws rule the land, when God is kicked out of schools, when Christmas is without Jesus. Today, abortion is losing in our country because the American people are rejecting it, God is coming back into schools by brave Christians who do not care about the consequences of praying and reading the bible in government schools, and because of our President, Jesus is back in Christmas at the White House. I noticed since President Trump became President, people say Merry Christmas again—did you notice that? I am so thankful to live today—it is so exciting to watch our God at work!

Prophecy Update: Replacement Theology and the End Times 2/28/20

I want to focus this update on Replacement Theology. Much of the conflict in the world can be traced back to this false teaching. Replacement Theology teaches that the Abrahamic Covenant has been rejected by Jesus and the promises to the Jews are null and void, especially the land promises. The Church in effect replaces Israel in the plan of God and Israel is cut off forever. Islam teaches that the land is for Muslims and the promise of God goes to Muslims and not Jews. The churches who hold to this theology teach that Israel does not have a part in the future plans of God for the world. Here is a problem for these churches, ‘Galatians states that Jesus died in order to bring to our lives the blessings of the Abrahamic Covenant and if we belong to Jesus, we are Abraham’s children according to the promise (Galatians 3:13-14, 29).’ Some say that only the land promises of the Abrahamic Covenant are cut off. The problem with that is that the Bible nowhere states that the promises of God in Abraham concerning Israel’s everlasting possession of the Land of Canaan are removed. Here are some recent articles that bear this out: the first is about the Vatican opening the archives to Pope Pius XII who is called Hitler’s Pope.

FROM THE JERUSALEM POST: “For his critics, Pope Pius XII is a figure who repeatedly failed to take a strong stance against Hitler or in favor of the Jews. For his defenders, he was a spiritual leader who did his best to work silently to protect the Roman Catholic and to allow its representatives to operate in secret to help those in need. “I believe that the opening of the archive is a symbolic gesture, I doubt that it will bring significant changes to what is known,” Prof. Manuela Consonni, chair of Holocaust Studies at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem’s Department of Jewish History and Contemporary Jewry, told The Jerusalem Post. “I’m not saying that nothing interesting will come out of it,” she said. “I think we will find documents that will support better what we know about him.” I am following closely the statement by the Vatican that they are opening the archives for Pope Pius XII, who is Eugenio Pacelli. Pacelli was the Nuncio to Bavaria and Berlin from 1917 to 1929. He is called Hitler’s Pope because of his actions regarding the Holocaust. When they opened the archives to Pope Pius XI who reigned from 1922-1939 it was very revealing. I will share some of that Sunday night.

The Catholic Church and Replacement Theology:
During the fourth century, the Catholic Church began changing the beliefs of Christians to hate the Jews. They changed the date of Easter so that it would be different then Passover; here is a quote from the Council of Nicea, “For it is unbecoming beyond measure that on this holiest of festivals we should follow the customs of the Jews. Henceforth let us have nothing in common with this odious people…” By the Middle Ages, two erroneous concepts had become established Church doctrine: first, the Jews should be considered “Christ killers” and should be mistreated accordingly and the Church has replaced Israel, and God has no future purpose for the Jews. In fact, Pope Urban II in 1095 began the Crusades with the purpose to kill Muslims and Jews. “The abbot of Cluny asked why Christians should travel to “the ends of the world to fight the Saracens, when we permit among us other infidels (Jews) a thousand times more guilty toward Christ than the Mohammedans?” Religious passion, greed, and the vulnerability of Jews led to the rise of violent mobs who murdered thousands of Jews to the cry of “Conversion or death!” This behavior continued for eight additional crusades until the 9th in 1272. One of the most popular anti-Jewish myths that gained widespread acceptance was the notion that Jews murdered Christians each year around the time of Passover in order to get blood needed to perform satanic rites.
2010: Cyril Salim Bustros, the Lebanon-born Greek archbishop of Our Lady of the Annunciation in Boston, Massachusetts was responsible for delivering the final statement at a conference that was highly anti-Semitic. In clarifying remarks, he stated that “the Holy Scriptures cannot be used to justify the return of Jews to Israel and the displacement of the Palestinians, to justify the occupation by Israel of Palestinian lands.” He then escalated the situation by declaring that the original promises made by God to the children of Israel “were nullified by Christ. There is no longer a chosen people.”

Replacement Theology and Protestants:
I am amazed that among Evangelicals there exists a hatred of Jews and antisemitism reflected in Replacement Theology. For instance, a good example of the “new anti-Semitism can be found in a document issued by Dr. James Kennedy’s Knox Theological Seminary in 2002. It took the form of an open letter to Evangelicals concerning the land of Israel. It has since been endorsed by hundreds of theologians and pastors, including such luminaries as R. C. Sproul. The document begins by denouncing those who teach that the Bible’s promises concerning the land of Israel are being fulfilled today “in a special region or ‘Holy Land,’ perpetually set apart by God for one ethnic group alone.” Since the church is so divided over this biblical teaching, is it any wonder that Satan is having a field day dividing the church and nations over Israel. I remember when this story came out in 2002, I was adamant then with pastors I know not to sign this evil document. If you curse Israel you will be cursed, it still applies! I have many more examples from Protestant churches but I will go on to the antisemitism in the world:

Belgian city of Aalst says anti-Semitic parade ‘just fun’: 24 February 2020. “Israel, Jewish groups and Belgian Prime Minister Sophie Wilmès were among many who strongly condemned the costumes in Sunday’s parade in Aalst. Some critics said likening Jews to ants was similar to Nazi anti-Semitism, which persecuted Jews as “vermin.” Other floats mocked UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Brexit, climate activist Greta Thunberg, and Jesus Christ on the cross.” Europe is steeped in antisemitism and Replacement Theology. Melanie Phillips, a Jewish commentator has written about replacement theology and has admonished the churches to drop this evil theology. She wrote this in 2014, ‘Jesus Was a Palestinian’: “Protestants increasingly believe a potted and anti-Semitic Palestinian narrative of Middle Eastern history. Within the Protestant world, many churches are deeply hostile to the State of Israel. They present the Palestinians as victims of Israeli oppression while ignoring the murderous victimization of Israeli citizens at their hands. This much is generally known. What is less known is the even more disturbing fact that this perverse animus is increasingly fed not by the politics of the present moment but by theology.” I have written much on this subject in the past, suffice it to say that part of the antichrist system will be to convince people that Israel has no part in the plan of God!
The Democratic Party has also taken a turn towards awful antisemitism.

By Gene Lawley: February 25, 2020
“When Barack Obama was elected president in 2008, a very gleeful Henry Kissinger blurted openly, “He has been primed to lead us into a new world order!” At another time he said, “We hired him right out of law school.” That “priming” took on the most deceptive twist that had never been seen in presidential campaigns and terms of office in the history of the United States, as the evidence clearly shows. As the end of his eight years in office approached, he muttered at the April 30, 2016, annual DC Correspondents’ Dinner, “All of you are looking great…the end of the Republic has never looked better!” While his supporters claimed otherwise, the integrity of the nation’s sovereignty was steadily grinding downward. He was sure that Hillary Clinton was headed for the oval office to replace him and thus complete the destruction of the nation, that one strongest opponent of that New World Order.” President Obama was the most anti-Semitic President we have ever had. His legacy is seen in the new anti-Semitic crop of Democrats:

As Attacks Continue, Will Democrats Confront Their Anti-Semitism Problem? Feb.26. “During the 2008 primary, then-Senator Barack Obama was confronted by the fact that he spent 20 years attending Rev. Wright’s church where — according to both recorded sermons and published material — the pastor spread extreme racist and anti-Semitic teachings. Wright said “Zionist Jews” were worse than Nazis, published an article in his church bulletin claiming Israel and South Africa had built an “ethnic bomb” that only killed black and Arab people, and that he couldn’t speak to Obama once he was in the White House because “them Jews ain’t going to let him talk to me.”

And yet Barack Obama went on to win his party’s nomination. And before Rev. Wright there was Rev. Al Sharpton, a one-time Democratic presidential candidate whose support has been sought by many Democratic presidential candidates — including Sanders — despite his history of anti-Semitic statements and links to violence targeting Jews. It is horrifying to me that the Democratic Party cannot and will not confront antisemitism head on. They will throw some fake news at you that they are for Israel, all the while cursing Israel.

FEBRUARY 24, 2020, UN Security Council calls for ‘two-state solution’ to be respected. “The UN Security Council made a rare show of unity Monday when it called on all parties to maintain their support for a two-state solution to the Israel-Palestinian Arab conflict. “Council Members reiterated their support for a negotiated two state solution … where two democratic states, Israel and Palestine, live side by side in peace within secure and recognized borders,” said a statement quoted by AFP and released by Belgium, which holds the rotating presidency, and supported by all 14 other members, including the United States.” There is a battle in the world that is being played out in the presidential race. The battle is over the land of Israel and the UN and Democrats represent the side that wants to curse Israel and stop God from giving all of the land back to Israel! That battle is over Jerusalem and Judea Samaria. Bernie Sanders already announced that he will move the embassy back to Tel Aviv, and now other presidential contenders are promising the same. They are also against Israel declaring sovereignty over land in Samaria/Judea. The battle is on!!

FEBRUARY 24, 2020, Netanyahu, Israeli officials meet with US mapping team for West Bank annexation.

“Arabs are planning a million man march on Land Day, March 30th 2020 to condemn Israel for taking land. Land Day started after 1976 when Israel expropriated twenty thousand acres of land to themselves which the Palestinian Authority says was stolen.

DENYING THEIR PARENT AND EMBRACING THEIR ASSASSIN: Melanie Phillips Feb.14, 2020
“Many liberal Christians mouth penitential pieties about the Jews murdered in the Holocaust while “taking as normal” murderous libels against living Jews in the State of Israel. Christians are arguably the most committed supporters of Israel in the world. At the same time, different kinds of Christians are among the Jews’ worst enemies. In America, the ones who defend Israel so passionately are (mostly) the “red state” evangelicals. It is these people in their millions, not the so-called and vastly over-hyped Jewish lobby, who make America so pro-Israel. In Britain, the Church of England and other liberal denominations are institutionally hostile to Israel. Such churches, along with immensely influential Christian NGOs such as Christian Aid, Christ at the Checkpoint or KAIROS, disseminate boiler-plate distortions and falsehoods that demonize Israel and sanitize Palestinian-Arab aggression. While many Christians who subscribe to such views are just going with the flow of the prevalent (and unchallenged) narrative about the Middle East, that narrative’s roots lie in a toxic combination of Marxism, Palestinianism and theological Christian antisemitism. The deepest root of the church’s hostility towards Israel lies in the resurrection of the previously discredited doctrine of “replacement theology,” also known as “supersessionism.” This doctrine, which holds that because the Jews denied the divinity of Jesus they were stripped of God’s favor so that Christians became the “new Israel” while the Jews were damned, was the source of centuries of murderous Jew-hatred until the Holocaust drove it underground.”

It is very clear to me that as the USA under Trump moves to give more land back to Israel in the annexation of parts of Judea and Samaria, the world is moving closer and closer to condemning and fighting Israel over this land. It is clear in this paper and the news reports the last few weeks that the Democrats and UN are in full blown war with Trump over his stance on Israel. This war is a reflection of replacement theology. The hatred of Benjamin Netanyahu, who is moving the nation into position to annex much of Judea and Samaria, will lead to a fight. They are throwing everything they have at Netanyahu and Trump to keep Israel from getting her land. It will not succeed though because what God has promised this will happen! He is faithful and will keep His promises to His people whether it is the Church or Israel! Prophecy is being fulfilled today, keep your eyes open and keep them looking up. Jesus is coming soon, it is the hope of all true believers. Maranatha! Prophecy4i.wordpress.com

Prophecy Update: Birth Pangs 2/21/2020

We live in a day that the birth pangs that Jesus predicted have started to grow in intensity. Jesus mentioned this in Matthew 24:4-8 and today matches up with what he predicted. Here is a list that was posted on Rapture Ready that I want to share with you:

10 ‘Plagues’ That Are Hitting Our Planet Simultaneously: Tue, 02/18/2020. All of a sudden, really crazy things are starting to happen all over the world. Giant swarms of locusts are absolutely devastating entire regions, extremely unusual storms are confounding meteorologists, earthquake and volcanic activity are both on the rise, and five very dangerous diseases are sweeping across the globe. So far in 2020, it has just been one thing after another, and many are speculating about what could be ahead if events continue to escalate. #1 Armies Of Locusts – As I detailed the other day, swarms of locusts the size of major cities have been devouring entire farms in Africa in as little as 30 seconds. These swarms have also been spreading throughout the Middle East, and now we have learned that they have even reached China… #2 Extremely Bizarre Weather Patterns. #3 Unprecedented Flooding. #4 Major Earthquakes – Really big earthquakes are happening with such frequency now that it is very difficult for me to write about them all. For example, a magnitude 7.7 quake recently struck off the coast of Jamaica, but I have been so busy writing about other disasters that I have not even mentioned it until now… #5 Unusual Volcanic Eruptions. #6 The Coronavirus. #7 The African Swine Fever – “Pig Ebola” has already wiped out millions upon millions of pigs in China, and it has now spread to more than 40 other countries. The price of pork is absolutely skyrocketing in China right now, and to help fill the demand the Chinese are increasingly importing pork from U.S. sources… #8 The H1N1 Swine Flu – Unlike the African Swine Fever, the H1N1 Swine Flu can actually kill humans. In fact, it has already killed more people outside of China than the coronavirus outbreak has. For instance, 13 people in Taiwan died from the virus in one recent week alone. #9 The H5N1 Bird Flu – This strain of the bird flu caused a massive global scare a number of years ago, and now it is experiencing a stunning resurgence. China has had to kill thousands of chickens so far, and experts are warning that this outbreak could be just getting started… #10 The H5N8 Bird Flu – This strain is different from the H5N1 bird flu, but many believe that it is even more frightening. It has started to pop up in numerous places around the globe, and experts were really surprised when it recently made an appearance in Germany…”

As you can see, the increase of plagues, earthquakes, and famines are on the rise across Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. When I looked at a map, the nations hit by these disasters have something in common. They are the worse nations when it comes to killing Christians and hating Jews.

Birth Pangs of Pestilences and Persecution:

2020 World Watch List Report: Open Doors just released their list of the top 50 nations persecuting Christians around the world. This list shows that 9 out of the top ten nations persecuting Christians are getting hammered from the list above. China is not in the top ten, but they are certainly getting hit with all of these plagues as I read yesterday that the locust swarm moved into China. China is in full rebellion against the God of our Fathers, and Jesus the King of Kings! Here is a strange article about the antichristian hatred in China. Pray big—
China appoints new Hong Kong chief known for persecuting Christians: SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 2020. “China has appointed a hardliner, who is known for removing hundreds of crosses from churches in the eastern province of Zhejiang, to take charge of its office overseeing matters in Hong Kong, which might raise concerns among pro-democracy protesters and residents in the semi-autonomous city.”

The Chinese cannot stand not having control of Hong Kong and they are now going to come after Christians. Hong Kong is important to missions as it is a base for a lot of missionary work in China and Southeast Asia. Pray that God will preserve the work of many great Christian organizations. Another way this problem in China is going to effect the USA is thru the purchase of medicines. 96% of antibiotics come from China. Many products are produced in China and those imports are being limited by the Coronavirus. The communist government hates the Christians in America and would love to curse us.

The Christian Post had this to say about the locust swarm a few days ago: “A growing spread of city-sized swarms of locusts has reached seven East African countries in recent months. The invasion has been described as something similar to an account from the book of Exodus as the grasshoppers have torn through crops, grass and other green vegetation. So if we haven’t controlled them, then the region is facing famine, not just a food crisis, but a potential famine,” he stressed.” All of these examples of the birth pangs are opening the eyes of many Christians. The unbelievers are worried, there is a general worry among people that something is wrong in the world. Wars and rumors of wars are also in play today.

Birth Pangs of Wars and Rumors of Wars:

Gathering Clouds Over The Korean Peninsula – Analysis: February 18, 2020. “North Korea is faced with the worst internal and external crisis since its inception. The US-led economic sanctions have almost dried up the regime’s financial resources; North Korea’s wintertime military drills came to a halt for lack of fuel; and closure of the entire border to stop the spreading of the deadly coronavirus from China has skyrocketed food prices in Pyongyang (by 60% just within days) and depleted the already struggling markets of supplies. North Korea’s diplomats abroad were summoned to Pyongyang on charges of espionage and coups, including Kim Pyong Il (Kim Il Sung’s son and a half-brother of Kim Jong Il’s); and senior and high-ranking officials at home defected with top-class security documents in possession or were arrested in attempts of defection. For the western onlookers, surely, the rumor of heart surgery on the regime’s 36-year-old dictator is the icing on the cake. Three US aircraft carriers have been sent near the Korean Peninsula keeping unprecedented military pressure on the regime. Kim does not understand that nuclear missiles do not keep him safe but only cause his regime to put its head in a noose. Significantly, Trump had no mention of North Korea in his State of the Union address this year, which may implicate that the US has other plans under way.”

All of the problems in China have a direct impact on North Korea. This does not seem like it is going to slow down. The Middle East is also in melt down, here is an article about Syria:

Syria war: Turkish operation in Idlib ‘only a matter of time’ 2/19/20. Turkey’s president has said it is “only a matter of time” before it launches an operation to stop a Syrian army assault on opposition-held Idlib province. Recep Tayyip Erdogan warned that he was determined to transform the border area into a safe place “at any cost”. Syria’s government and its ally Russia have rejected his demand to pull back to ceasefire lines agreed in 2018. The offensive has displaced some 900,000 civilians, including half a million children, since 1 December. Idlib is the last stronghold of the rebel and jihadist fighters who have been trying to overthrow Syrian President Bashar al-Assad since 2011. With Turkey defying Russia in Syria and fighting the government of Bashir Assad, this has the markings of some heavy fighting between the countries God says will come after Israel. This will change in the future. Until then we have this article from Israel:
ANALYSIS: Turkey now technically at war with Russia and Syria: February 20, 2020.
“Turkish troops shell Syrian army positions while Russian air force bombs Turkish positions in Idlib, Syria. A week after Israel National News reported that Turkey was on a crash course with Russia over Syria the parties are now at war technically speaking. The Turkey-backed Islamist militias in Idlib are on the verge of defeat after the Iranian-Russian-backed pro-Assad coalition rapidly advanced in the last rebel stronghold and even surrounded Turkish observation posts which were set up to monitor a 2018 de-escalation agreement between Russia and Turkey that failed miserably.”

As you can see, wars and rumors of wars are in the air. With Syria in melt down mode, Israel will get stronger and stronger. This will result in Israel getting more of her land soon. This will send the nations into a crying fit. The Democrats are in the crying fit against Israel at the moment. Here is an article about it: JERUSALEM POST WARNS THAT DEMOCRATIC FRONTRUNNER COMMUNIST BERNIE SANDERS IS NO FRIEND OF ISRAEL AND IN FACT IS A PRO-PALESTINIAN ANTI-ZIONIST: 2/20/2020. “Communist Bernie Sanders’s campaign manager, Faiz Shakir, and foreign policy adviser, Matt Duss, were accused of antisemitism while working for the progressive think-tank Center for American Progress, according to the Simon Wiesenthal Center, the Anti-Defamation League and the American Jewish Committee. His fervent supporters like Rep. Ilhan Omar, whom he allows to speak on his behalf, have long ago crossed the line into antisemitism with their views of the Jewish state. Omar’s antisemitism reaches beyond Israel into old time antisemitic tropes on Jewish power and money. Bernie is silent because nobody in his base would want him to call out a woman of color.”

Gods Super Sign: Israel

Israel is the center of prophecy. I always include something about Israel because it is so important to our understanding of why we are living in the end times. Here is a great article about that:
Against All Odds, the Word of God Prevails: February 21, 2020.
You have probably heard the term “West Bank,” or if you are familiar with Israel, you may have even heard “Judea and Samaria” or “biblical heartland.” The recently released “Deal of the Century” has put together a plan to give part of the land in Judea and Samaria to the Arabs to create a Palestinian State, with all of the Jewish settlements slated to remain in Israel’s hands and become sovereign under Israel’s government. Fifteen of the settlements are slated as enclaves, meaning that they would be isolated. This is dividing the land of Israel. “As of January 1st, 2020, the Jewish population of Judea and Samaria totaled 463,353 Israelis. This does not include the neighborhoods of East Jerusalem, which number some 325,000 Jews. In the last five years, Judea and Samaria has experienced a 19% growth rate, and in the last year, more than 3% growth. Now we will turn to one of the Jewish settlements that are part of the Northern Samaria bloc and which is slated to become an enclave under the Deal of the Century’s peace plan.” Har Bracha, or the Mt. of Blessing in English, or if you want to look it up in the Bible, Mt. Gerizim, next to the city of Shechem. In Joshua 8:33-35 Joshua had half of the people stand on Mt. Gerazim and half stood on Mt. Ebal to read the blessing and the curses from Dueteronomy. In between the two mountains lies Shechem. Today it is called Nablus and it is one of the cities that is ground zero between God and His enemies. When Abraham arrived in Shechem (Gen.12:6-7) it was the first time that God promised to give all of the land to Israel. Abraham built an alter to the Lord there! This is why any peace deal that does not include Shechem and all of Judea/Samaria for Israel is a failure. What I think about the peace deal is that it could become the one that Antichrist confirms when he shows up. There will be no peace until Jesus comes back; it is prophecy!

Eighty percent of the Bible centers around Judea and Samaria, this is why Satan has moved his people into areas that God will have to take back. The people who live in the cities of the Biblical heartland are claiming that they are part of a fictional state called Palestine. ‘Scripture is clear. As long as the sun and moon endure, God’s covenant that He made with His people is still valid (Jeremiah 33:19). Forever. Period.’ Now get on board with the LORD, He is giving all of this land back to Israel!

Things are out of control but not for us as Christians. WE have a God who gives us order and truth to live life to the fullest. Jesus said, do not fear for I am with you, I will never leave you or forsake you, I have given you eternal life. Have hope and pray for the Lord to give you discernment and strength. The Rapture is not far off, as things progress and get more intense, we need to help people have context. Seeing life through the lens of the Christian worldview is important to evangelism. America is still peaceful, prosperous, and strong. The true church in America is strong and making a difference. You are part of this church, the body of Christ! It is the deception of the evil one that says the church is weak. The only weak church is the false church, the one who stands on lies. The true church stands in the power of the Holy Spirit. You are that church my friend. Stand firm as our Lord has commanded us this day! When God kicks all of the Palestinians out of Bethel, Shechem, Hebron, etc. then rejoice that the LORD is moving and advancing His plan for the nations! Stand Firm my brothers and sisters.

I thought you might like to hear one of my students testimonies. This student has shared her testimony before 2000 people and is sharing it tonight at our ministry. Pray for our students, many more will be saved because of this girls testimony.
Galatians 2:20 says “I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me.” I am so thankful that it is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. I tried to live MY life. And I tried to live it on my own strength. But during my senior year of high school, I got tired. I was burnt out… on basketball and on life. I had no motivation. No PURPOSE. Why was I even here? I didn’t want to be here on this earth. I found happiness nowhere. In the world’s eyes, I had it all. A loving family. Amazing friends. Success in school and basketball. I should have been so happy, but instead I felt sad, empty, and weary. Why did I feel this way for no reason? Fast forward to freshman year here at Ashland. I still didn’t want to be here and I still didn’t know WHY I was here. But I did know that I was meant to be here at Ashland and playing college basketball on this team. So I kept fighting. But still using only my own strength. For my first 4 months or so here at Ashland, I was also VERY homesick. With my homesickness, my depression, and the grind of college classes and college basketball, I couldn’t do it all. The bone-deep weariness and the sadness had absolute control of me. I was chained, broken, and had little hope.
But I was going to FCA and our team Bible studies every week and, there, God began to reveal to me that He was the only way out. He opened my eyes. In my teammates and in the student-athletes at FCA, I saw a different kind of joy, strength, and peace. I saw that their lives were centered around Christ, and my life was not. I was missing that personal relationship with Him, but every time I tried to pray on my own, my mind would run wild. I thought, “Stop feeling so tired. Get over your homesickness already. You have so much to be thankful for, just choose to be happy.” I thought it was my fault I felt this way and I was putting all the pressure on myself to fix it. Then, a Christian counselor told me four words. Give yourself some grace. Sounds simple, but it was a turning point for me. God was speaking to me through that counselor. I started giving myself some grace. Accepting things as they were. “Okay, I am weary. I am sad. I do wish I was at home. But it’s okay.” By having me give myself some grace, God was making room for Himself in my life. The pressure to fix the way I was feeling was no longer on me. God was making room in my heart for JESUS CHRIST to come and fix it. To come and heal me.
Fast forward to the end of my freshman year. A few weeks after school let out, I did a camp called the Ultimate Training Camp. And it was at this camp that I stopped living and CHRIST started living in me. I stopped relying on myself and on my own strength and I started relying on Christ. I quickly experienced for myself the depths of His strength because, at this camp, we did a 20-hour workout. I had no strength, except through Him. I became COMPLETELY dependent on Christ. During the workout, I was literally screaming prayers to Him and I could feel Him give me His strength. I learned that I have access to this strength at any time because, as a child of God, I have direct access to My Heavenly Father. My identity is in Him. No matter the circumstances, what HE says about me is true. And what He says about me is that… I have the power of God. I am never alone. I am loved. I am free. I am a light in the world. I am saved. I have eternal life. I have purpose and my purpose is to know Christ and make Him known. HE is the source of all my joy, strength, and peace. And so, Galatians 2:20 says “I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.”

Prophecy Update: One World Government and Its Problems 2/14/2020

God prophesied that there would be a one world government that would persecute Israel in the future. Since 1948 we have seen the rise of one world organizations. All of these organizations have one thing in common, they persecute Jews and Israel. As Christians, we are aware of the fact that the world hates us, will persecute us, all because Jesus predicted it. Predictions regarding the end times focus on Israel because God is going to remove the church before the Tribulation. This update is going to focus on the one world push for persecuting Israel. I start with the Pope and his call to unite the religions of the world.

Pope Pushes One World Religion on Israel’s Independence Day: By Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz February 11, 2020 , They have said: ‘Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.’ For they have consulted together with one consent; against Thee do they make a covenant, Psalm 83:5-7

Historically, the Vatican was no friend to the Jews but its new initiative aligns the Catholic Church with Islam in a one-world religion that may be the biggest threat ever to the Jewish People. Rabbi Pinchas Winston, a prolific end-of-times author, noted that in many surprising respects, the Vatican is now practically indistinguishable from secularism. Rabbi Winston noted that traditional values in the Catholic Church are indeed changing in ways that would have been inconceivable not so long ago. Rabbi Winston noted that the theme of one-world order as presented by the Pope was presented several times in the Bible. “Seeing the world as one is how it was in the days before the Tower of Babel,” Rabbi Winston said. “This was when men joined together to take over the world and kick God out.”

The blacklist: All 112 companies UN says are operating in settlements: The UN Human Rights Council on Wednesday published a “database” of 112 companies it says are conducting business in West Bank settlements. Israeli authorities reacted with fury to the report, which they described as a “blacklist,” while the Palestinians lauded the list as “a victory for international law.” Antisemitism is a war, but a non-conventional one. If it was somewhat geographically contained during the Second World War, it no longer is today. In December 2019, a series of attacks against orthodox Jews took place in Brooklyn. We still remember the terrorist attacks at the synagogues in San Diego and Pittsburgh. This is real, this is global and this happening almost on a daily basis. But the recent tragedy that we should pay attention to took place in Paris, and it could create a terrifying precedent. On April 4, 2017, in Paris, Sarah Halimi, a 66-year-old Jewish woman, was thrown from her third-floor window. Her body landed on the pavement. It remains uncertain if she was thrown alive or already dead from being tortured. What the police found out was that the perpetrator was Kobili Traoré, her Muslim neighbor, who screamed “Allahu Akbar” and “I have killed Satan” as he recited verses from the Qur’an that according to him ordered him to kill Jews. That is such a tragedy, and yet it is only part of the story. How can it possibly get worse? It took months for the family of Mrs. Halimi to get the French authorities to admit that it was indeed a murder AND that it was an antisemitic hate crime.

The UN has for sometime been inspiring groups to kill Jews. They have a unhealthy obsession with hating on Israel. It inspires nations like Iran to believe that it will have the backing of the UN when it attacks and kills Jews. Mahmoud Abbas believed that he would have the backing of the UN when he came to bash Israel this week. Here is a quote from an article about that: “I came to all of you today to affirm the Palestinian position which rejects the American-Israeli deal,” Abbas said. “It legalized what is illegal: settlement building and confiscation and annexation of Palestinian lands. I affirm, here, that it is necessary that this deal or any part of it not be considered an international reference for negotiations.”

The focus of Abbas and most of the world is that the settlements in Judea and Samaria are illegal according to international law. The Security Council did not take up the matter but the United Nations Human Rights Council did and it was brutal what they did. As I pointed out, they blacklisted 112 companies operating in Judea and Samaria. The Heartland Report from Israel had this to say about it yesterday: I would like to compare the following two statements:
“A world power publishes a list of Jewish businesses to boycott at the behest of a certain political party.”
“An international entity publishes a list of Jewish businesses to boycott at the behest of a liberal movement.”
These statements are almost identical. I purposely kept them generic. Now I will add the names, dates and places and compare them again.
“April 1st, 1933 – Germany publishes a list of Jewish businesses to boycott at the behest of the Nazi party.”
“February 12th, 2020 – The UN publishes a list of Jewish businesses to boycott at the behest of the BDS movement.”
Well, I have news for the UN – this is not 1933, and we are not in Nazi-controlled Germany. The God of Israel is moving His people into His land to fulfill all of His promises to Israel. I declare to the nations that they should see that God will win in all of their desire to annihilate the Jews. God promised to preserve them and now is the time to advance them in their own land so that Messiah can come back! Iran is not getting the message:

Adviser to Iran’s Khamenei is looking to ‘raze Tel Aviv to the ground’: By BENJAMIN WEINTHAL FEBRUARY 12, 2020. “Ahead of the governments of France and Germany congratulating Iran’s regime on its Islamic revolution this week, an Iranian politician who advises the supreme leader said his nation was looking for an excuse to obliterate Tel Aviv.”
I would like to give you a historical perspective of this move to One World organizations. It is bizarre that many of them started in 1948 or right before. Why? Because Satan saw God moving to make Israel a nation and he had to respond!

The World Health Organization (WHO) is a specialized agency of the United Nations that is concerned with world public health. It was established on 7 April 1948, and is headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland.

The World Council of Churches (WCC) is a worldwide Christian inter-church organization founded in 1948.

The World Trade Organization (WTO) is an intergovernmental organization that is concerned with the regulation of international trade between nations. The WTO officially commenced on 1 January 1995 under the Marrakesh Agreement, signed by 123 nations on 15 April 1994,replacing the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), which commenced in 1948.

The World Bank was created at the 1944 Bretton Woods Conference, along with the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The president of the World Bank is, traditionally, an American. The World Bank and the IMF are both based in Washington, D.C., and work closely with each other.

International Criminal Court: Following the Second World War, the allied powers established two ad hoc tribunals to prosecute Axis leaders accused of war crimes. The International Military Tribunal, which sat in Nuremberg, prosecuted German leaders while the International Military Tribunal for the Far East in Tokyo prosecuted Japanese leaders. In 1948 the United Nations General Assembly first recognised the need for a permanent international court to deal with atrocities of the kind prosecuted after the Second World War.[4] At the request of the General Assembly, the International Law Commission (ILC) drafted two statutes by the early 1950s but these were shelved during the Cold War, which made the establishment of an international criminal court politically unrealistic.

The UN has often preduced documents that push a One World Government and a way for them to rule all of the people of the world. One such map divided the world into 10 regions with ten kings—does that sound familiar? It should because it is in Daniel and Revelation!

The United Nations wants a one-world government in less than twelve years: Nov 5, 2018
The one-worlders of the 1950s and early 1960s are now in the U.N. driver’s seat, and they have made their move.

The 2030 Agenda One World Government: Christian Today FRIDAY 14 FEBRUARY 2020 This time last year the United Nations approved The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. It introduced ‘a new universal agenda’ for all mankind. (In other words, a scheduled approach to one world government). Among those who gave endorsement to the programme were US President Barack Obama and Pope Francis. The plan bypasses US Congress and the legislatures of the world’s other 193 nations. Yet, the heads of state agreed to work toward implementation, largely through secret trade deals and back room bureaucratic rule making, according to reports. Martin Castro, an Obama appointee, is chairman of the US Commission on Civil Rights. He released a report on September 7 that said Americans need to be protected from Bible-thumpers. In his comment he referred to “religious liberty” and “religious freedom” code words ‘for discrimination, intolerance, racism, sexism, homophobia, Islamophobia, Christian supremacy or any form of intolerance,” Mr Castro said.

Many are concerned with global pestilences since the coronavirus broke out. This has spurred on discussion of global government and global solutions. Here is an article about the response of the United States: An Executive Order Has Initiated ‘Department Of Defense Global Campaign Plan For Pandemic Influenza And Infectious Diseases 3551-13’February 13, 2020—“It appears that the U.S. military is taking this coronavirus outbreak extremely seriously. An executive order has been issued which has initiated the implementation of “the Department of Defense Global Campaign plan for Pandemic Influenza and Infectious Diseases 3551-13”. We don’t know all of the details of the plan, but we do know that it instructs U.S. military officials “to prepare for widespread outbreaks”
People are worried and the news out of China is getting worse and worse. I heard one Chinese dissident say that his contacts in China estimate that 50,000 Chinese are already dead from the virus. (Amir Tsafarti reported on this yesterday)

The Center for Disease Control is another organization that has global reach. It is producing some scary stuff about global pandemics—here is an example from today: Coronavirus can be spread by people who don’t show symptoms, CDC warns: February 13, 2020. Coronavirus can be spread through people who aren’t exhibiting symptoms of the illness, the director of the Centers for Disease and Control and Prevention said Thursday. Dr. Robert Redfield confirmed reports out of China that the virus can spread when the person is still asymptomatic, according to CNN. “What I’ve learned in the last two weeks is that the spectrum of this illness is much broader than was originally presented. There’s much more asymptomatic illness,” he said.

As many of you know, the economic cooperation among nations has been the occasion to global financial institutions. So not to be outdone, there are moves towards more global currencies and ways to tax everyone. The UN wants to tax every country—here is an article in that vein:

World tax rewrite can raise countries’ revenues by $100bn: OECD: February 14, 2020. Rewriting international corporate tax rules could jack up governments’ tax revenues by up to 4 percent, or $100bn annually, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) estimated on Thursday. Many governments are frustrated that the rise of big internet companies like Google, Facebook and Amazon is depriving them of revenue because they can legally book profits in low-tax countries regardless of where their customers are.” As you can see that the nations want global ways to handle global problems. The economics of having global companies is impacting the way they do taxes. A perfect segue to the mark of the beast!

Speaking of the mark of the beast, here is an article that is intriguing: Amazon’s Pay By Hand – Fast Tracking The Mark Of The Beast: If anyone has the power, money and influence to persuade people to accept a new form of payment systems for commerce, it is Amazon. Amazon is in the early stages of developing a technology that essentially turns your hand into a credit card. It is likely to tie in with it’s previously filed patent that includes a “non-contact biometric identification system” that features a “hand scanner” to produce a picture of a person’s palm.” As you can see, companies are moving quickly to the fulfillment of the Mark of the Beast scenario painted for us in Revelation. Sunday night I will cover more of this, hope to see you there.

Prophecy Update: Prophecy and stuff! 2/7/20

Jesus predicted that in the end times there would be an increase in pestilences. Luke 21:11 says, “and there will be great earthquakes and in various places plagues and famines and there will be terrors and great signs from heaven.” What distinguishes today as the last days is the increase of all of these things. Jesus described the end time signs as going global and like birth pangs getting more intense. That is what we see with plagues; 100 years ago, we did not have air travel that could spread a disease around the world. Today, air travel has increased the likelihood of diseases spreading and causing a panic, like coronavirus. This week I want to direct our attention to the end time prophecy of birth pangs. The first one is plagues because that is in the news and has caused a panic in the medical community.

4 Plagues Are Marching Across Asia Simultaneously: Coronavirus, African Swine Fever, H5N1 Bird Flu, & H1N1 Swine Flu, Mon, 02/03/2020: “The coronavirus outbreak that is raging all over China right now has been making headlines on a daily basis all over the globe, and rightly so. Meanwhile, three other plagues have also been marching across Asia, and most people in the western world don’t even realize that this is happening. What I am about to share with you in this article is quite chilling, and the months ahead will be very dark if these plagues continue to spread. African Swine Fever was devastating pork farms from one end of China to the other. There is no vaccine for “pig ebola”, there is no cure, and once it hits a farm the only thing that can be done is to kill every single pig so that it won’t spread anywhere else. But even though draconian measures have been implemented, it has just kept spreading, and at this point “about two-thirds of China’s swine herd has been lost”… Brett Stuart, president of the market research and analysis firm Global AgriTrends, estimates that about two-thirds of China’s swine herd has been lost to the disease and contrary to official government reports of recovery, more pigs are dying every day as ASF continues to spread. Unfortunately, this insidious disease has also been devastating farms in many other nations all over the planet. In particular, Cambodia, North Korea, South Korea, Vietnam and the Philippines have been hit particularly hard. Fortunately, African Swine Fever does not affect humans, but this new coronavirus seems perfectly suited to be transmitted from person to person. At this point we don’t know how bad this outbreak will ultimately become, but we do know that the very first death outside of China has now been confirmed… Meanwhile, there has been a very alarming resurgence of the H5N1 bird flu in China.
According to the Daily Mail, more than 17,000 chickens have been culled in an effort to keep this new outbreak from spreading further…”

At Ashland University we have had to cancel meetings because of these viruses. All flights have been shut down to China, and this is an opportunity for the globalist crowd to take some control. If enough people get sick then we will hear of people wanting to control everyone, global catastrophe needs a global government etc.

China has reportedly seen an outbreak of a ‘highly pathogenic’ strain of H5N1 bird flu which has already killed 4,500 chickens.

The outbreak was initially reported at a farm in Shaoyang city in the southern province of Hunan, south of the epicenter of the Coronavirus in Wuhan. I listened to a representative of the CDC talk about a trip to Thailand to check out this outbreak. He warned that this could go global if we did not treat it right. I believe that God is sending this plague to judge people for their sins. The numbers of the amount of murders is astounding in Asia. This makes it like the days of Noah—a time of murder. The recent stats that I saw this week were this: there were 100.6 million deaths in 2019 in the world. 44 million of those deaths were from abortion. This will bring the judgment of God! China is being judged because Xi Xiping the dictator of China has now moved to say that he is god and refuses to allow people to read the Bible. He is rewriting the Bible in his image. This is rebellion on a grand scale.

“According to the Reuters report, Chinese authorities have already culled 17,828 poultry in the wake of the outbreak. Unlike African Swine Fever, humans can become infected by the H5N1 bird flu. On top of everything else, the H1N1 swine flu is starting to spread once again. In fact, more than 100,000 people in Taiwan “sought medical treatment for flu-like symptoms at hospitals across the country over the past week” and there have been 13 confirmed deaths…”

As the fear of plagues rise, the fear of antisemitism also is rising in France. In 2017, a Muslim man tortured a Jewish woman and beat her to death, throwing her out of a window. The courts did not put him in jail but in a mental hospital because they said that he is not a murderer because he is criminally insane. Now the courts say that he should be set free because he did not commit a crime because of his insanity plea. People are so distressed over the case that even the president of France weighed in, here is an article about it this week: French judges rebuke Macron for criticism over case of slain Jewish woman: By SOFIA BOUDERBALA and CLARE BYRNE 27 January 2020, “French President Emmanuel Macron drew a sharp rebuke from the country’s top magistrates on Monday for criticizing a court ruling on the 2017 killing of a Jewish woman in Paris. Sarah Halimi, an Orthodox Jewish woman in her sixties, died after being pushed out of the window of her Paris flat by a neighbor shouting “Allahu Akbar” (“God is great” in Arabic). But the Court of Appeal in Paris last month concluded that the suspect, a heavy pot smoker, had succumbed to a “delirious fit” and was therefore not criminally responsible for his actions.” What really is terrible about the story is the actions of the police. The woman was being beaten by the Muslim for one hour, the police were called and came to the apartment but were afraid to enter and save the woman. One police officer sat outside the apartment and heard the woman beaten but did nothing. The woman had every bone in her face broken by this evil man. The court has defended the man because the judge hates Jews and wants them dead. They have no compassion for the family and have done all they can to defend the Muslim and his family—attacking the Jewish family for saying it was anti-Semitic. It is horrifying. If I were Jewish, I would leave France now because the nation of France will defend those killing Jews.

More recently, political theorists such as Pierre-André Taguieff maintain that ‘something new, which Taguieff calls “judéophobia,” is afoot, an ideology that combines traditional anti-Semitic claims with more recent anti-Zionist and pro-Palestinian commitments.’ Tied to the antisemitism in France is the hatred of Zionism and the return of Jews to the homeland. As Jews leave France, I anticipate the French trying to stop them from going to Israel. Soon you will see laws passed in the EU preventing the Jews from going to Israel because it is against international law. The Peace deal that Trump put together has opened the door for more Jews to go home and settle in the Jordan Valley. In that regard, check out this article:

Trump’s plan may put settlement communities in danger. By DAVID HA’IVRI, JTA FEBRUARY 4, 2020: For Israelis who have supported and built Israeli towns or settlements here, this plan is dreadful and the results may be disastrous. Although claimed to be original and full of creativity, similar plans have been proposed by the left since Israel regained possession of the West Bank in 1967. “Maps envisioned by Israeli Labor party leaders from Yigal Allon through Yitzhak Rabin were almost identical to the one presented by Trump’s team last week. President Trump says that in his plan, no Israelis or Palestinians will be forced to leave their homes. However, it also lists 15 Israeli towns that would become isolated enclaves deep within the proposed Palestinian state. These towns would be under siege by the Palestinian Authority and would almost certainly be placed under a building freeze. In effect, towns that are not allowed to grow will slowly dry up.”

On the other hand, today many in the settlement movement went to Jerusalem to advocate for declaring sovereignty now. Our national security adviser said on Wednesday that Israeli settlements in Judea and Samaria will continue to grow because rising antisemitism around the world means more Jews will immigrate to Israel. Robert O Brien said in Washington that the “Israeli birth rate is strong and is growing because sadly anti-Semitism in Europe and other places around the world is encouraging more Jews to leave and go to Israel.” Caroline Glick wrote an article about this and said, “On Wednesday morning, NeverTrump propagandist Bill Kristol told his MSNBC audience that Democratic chances of victory over US President Donald Trump will rise if Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is defeated in Israel’s elections on March 2.” The reason for this is because if Netanyahu does not declare sovereignty in Judea and Samaria, then he would be breaking a promise and would lose support. It would be another failed election. Here is the real reason that the election will fail: it is God’s will that the Israeli nation take her land.

Ezekiel 36:10-11 is very clear on this issue. ‘I will multiply men on you, all the house of Israel, all of it; and the cities will be inhabited and the waste places will be rebuilt. ‘I will multiply on you man and beast; and they will increase and be fruitful; and I will cause you to be inhabited as you were formerly and will treat you better than at the first. Thus you will know that I am the LORD.” The movement to take sovereignty over the land of Israel by Jews today is growing stronger and stronger. The passage is very clear that God is going to raise up the waste places and He will fill it with His people Israel. Glick goes on to say:
“After Trump’s peace plan was published, Israelis discovered significant problems with the map attached to the plan. Among other things, the map places large sections of Highway 60, which crosses Judea and Samaria from south to north outside Israeli jurisdiction. If left uncorrected, the designation will endanger the security of tens of thousands of Israelis whose communities will be rendered isolated enclaves. Since ensuring Israel’s ability to defend itself and its citizens on a permanent basis is a major goal of the plan, this omission was obviously an oversight. Netanyahu announced this week that he has assembled a team to work on the map.”

This oversight by the Trump team I believe was intentional. It sinks the peace plan but forces Israel to declare sovereignty because this is God’s will! God will get His way because prophecy is about God accomplishing His plan on the earth. The prophecies are clear, Israel will get her land back and He will punish those nations who stand in His way. God help all of the people who live in Nablus, the ancient city of Shechem. It is an example of where the enemies of God live, Palestinians who defy the God of Israel and Jesus the Holy One of Israel. The Palestinian leadership are an example of those who say, come let us wipe out Israel that the name of Israel will be known no more. The hatred towards Jews is on display today in the terrorist attacks in Jerusalem. It is a people who teaches the children that Jews are apes and pigs, who stole Palestinian land, and should be killed. As Americans, we cannot understand the level of hatred of one people to another, we do not have anything like this in our experience. As Americans we believe, if we are nice to them they will be nice to us, but that is not the case. The level of hatred is theological for them. It is written in their laws and in their religious texts from Imams across the Middle East. Here is where I am going to blow your mind. In Israel, the left hates the idea of God giving the land to Jews!
“In 2016 when Gantz was still a private citizen, he was strongly encouraged to enter the political fray by a public service company called Darcheinu, or “Our Way.” Darcheinu is the successor to two organizations – V-15 and One Voice. One Voice was established in 2003 by Daniel Lubetsky, a Mexican-American Jewish businessman with close ties to the Obama administration. Lubetsky founded One Voice at the height of the Palestinian terror war to advance the establishment of a Palestinian state and an Israeli withdrawal to the 1949 armistice lines. PLO Chief and Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas’s son Yasser Mahmoud Abbas is a member of One Voice’s Trustees Advisory Council. Benny Gantz does not want sovereignty for Israel! He is in league with the enemies of Jews. He leads the party against Netanyahu, the same division is in Israel as America. Now that Trump is vindicated in the impeachment hearings, the Democrats will find something else to attack him. The same for Netanyahu, the left want to destroy both of them. This war will result one day in the rise of the antichrist—here comes the rapture everybody!
The Iowa caucus votes were a disaster and failed because the democrats are cursing Israel and interfering with the Israeli election. This is why Hillary Clinton lost, she interfered in the election of Israel and God caused her to lose and gave the White House to Donald Trump. The same thing is going to happen today, the Democrats are in full battle array against Israel and Trump. America and Israel are both divided by those who want to do Gods will and those who hate Gods will. What a surprise the world will get when we are lifted out of here—and the trumpet will sound and the dead in Christ will rise first, and then we who are alive will caught up, snatched up, raptured up violently and fast to meet the Lord in the air in our new bodies. Then the left can have their evil plans as God gives them the room to hang themselves.

Reading thru the book of Revelation and parts of Daniel the past few weeks, I have come to appreciate the fact that God is going to do what He said. Anyone who doubts Gods intention, will, and determination to accomplish all of His will need a light to come on. He will accomplish His will by judging the earth for all of her evil deeds and the love of the evil it desires. The whole world will follow the antichrist as they are following the will of Satan today. It is hard to take, that everyone wants Satans will on the earth, but that is what the Bible teaches. I cant wait for the rapture—how about you? Come Lord Jesus Come!

Prophecy Update: The Peace Deal: The Biblical View. 1/31/20

Many want to talk about the peace deal from the perspective of politics. I want to talk about the Bible! God told Abraham that the land of Israel would be given to his descendants and that is what happened. Gen.12:7 says, “The LORD appeared to Abram and said, “To your descendants I will give this land.” So he built an altar there to the LORD who had appeared to him.” Pay attention to what the Bible says, God is going to give the land to Israel! The world says that Israel took the land and it was taken by them illegitimately through war. Liberal interpreters try to convince everyone that when Joshua fought to conquer the land it was an illegitimate way of taking the land. Not so!!! God gave the land to Israel and Satan was convincing a people that they should resist Gods will and fight the Jews. The same pattern that happened the first time God gave the Jews the land is happening now, in our time!

In Joshua 24 God describes how He gave the land of Israel to its rightful owners. In Joshua 24:32 He says, “Now they buried the bones of Joseph, which the sons of Israel brought up from Egypt, at Shechem, in the piece of ground which Jacob had bought from the sons of Hamor the father of Shechem for one hundred pieces of money; and they became the inheritance of Joseph’s sons.” Why did Joseph want to be buried in Israel and not Egypt where he was second in command behind Pharaoh? God tells us in Genesis 50. In that chapter, Joseph took the body of his father Jacob back to Israel to bury him in Hebron where Abraham, Isaac, Sarah, and Rebecca are buried. When Joshua the son of Nun invaded the land and conquered most of the land that God had promised, he buried Joseph bones in Shechem because that is where his father had purchased land. It was their homeland in other words. Hebron and Shechem are two cities, promised by God, purchased land by Abraham and Jacob, and the two cities that Muslims desecrate constantly!

For instance in OCTOBER 16, 2015, the Muslims attacked the tomb of Joseph in Shechem. The international community and the enemies of Israel call it Nablus. “A site in Israel that was the target of attacks by Palestinians on Thursday night has a name that sounds very clear: Joseph’s Tomb. Palestinian protesters set fire to a tomb revered by some Jews as the tomb of the biblical patriarch Joseph on Thursday. Joseph’s Tomb, which is a small stone structure located in the Palestinian occupied West Bank city of Nablus, was torched after the militant group Hamas called for a “day of rage” against Israel. Leading up to the attack on the Tomb, Jewish worshippers were permitted to visit the religious site once a month, though visits were coordinated with Palestinian authorities, according to the BBC.”

When Joshua was given Shechem, they went on top of the two mountains bordering Shechem, Mt. Ebal and Mt. Gerazim to say the blessings and curses from the two mountains. Israel is being told to give up the land that God gave Israel thru Joshua, say it is Palestine—seriously!

Any peace deal that does not give Shechem and Hebron to Israel is not biblical. These two major historical sites are vital to the plan of God. God will in time give these cities to Israel and the world will hate it as they have hated Israel from the beginning. Satan’s plan is easy to see, make two of the most important cities of Israel Palestinian so that Jews are banned from living there! The Peace plan does call for Israel to annex the Jordan Valley and the settlements in Judea and Samaria. I see this as part of Israel starting to get all of her land back. It is short of the goal however and it leaves 15 Jewish settlements in what will be Palestinian territory. Now Mahmoud Abbas and the International community say that any Palestinian land must be devoid of all Jews. Israel must have Muslims living in it, and Palestine cannot have Jews. It is racism and the world accepts and advocates this racism. Abbas also said, “a thousand no’s to this plan.”

Just before the deal was announced, Netanyahu spoke about it:
“We are not going to pass it by,’ PM tells Trump ahead of peace plan rollout: Ariel Kahana, Associated Press , Israel Hayom Staff Published on 01-27-2020. President Trump said this, “We’re going to show a plan. It’s been worked on by everybody and we’ll see whether or not it catches hold. If it does that would be great and if it doesn’t, we can live with it too. But I think it might have a chance,” he said. The proposal is expected to be very favorable to Israel, and Netanyahu has hailed it as a chance to “make history” and define Israel’s final borders. It is amazing that the Trump team and President Trump himself do not believe that this is going to work. Why did he do it? He did it because he shifted the burden to the Palestinians to accept the plan and they will reject it. Israel is blamed for the lack of peace and now Trump pushed it onto the Palestinians, he outsmarted them by getting Muslim nations to endorse it.

Trump unveils Middle East peace plan with two-state solution, tunnel connecting West Bank and Gaza: Let me summarize: The plan gives the Palestinians the power to govern themselves, but not to threaten Israel. They get the opportunity to internally handle their own affairs without interference from Israel in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank and Israel would handle protecting them from any outside threats. They get about as much land that they would have had before 1967 although in different parts of the land. That is a big problem! On the Israeli side, the plan says and I quote: “The nation state of the Jewish people that is recognized by all other countries. Any realistic peace proposal requires Israel to make a significant territorial compromise that will enable the Palestinians to have a viable state, respect their dignity, and address their legitimate national aspirations.”

This is horrible in my eyes but I recognize that God is moving to giving His land back to His people Israel, so it is a step in that process. The peace deal mentions this, “It must be recognized that the State of Israel has already withdrawn from 88% of the land it captured in the 1967 war. This vision provides for the transfer of a sizable territory by the state of Israel, territory that the State of Israel has asserted valuable legal and historical claims, which are part of the ancestral homeland of the Jewish people which must be considered a significant concession.” That was a mouthful!
I am shocked that Israel always finds a way to give up more of her land to get the love of the nations when dividing the land of Israel always brings more conflict and war. I believe that the Palestinians are not accepting this peace deal because it conflicts with their goals to destroy the State of Israel. Everything from their side is negative and hateful. There are nine parts to the plan they call a vision for peace: 1. Meets the security needs of the state of Israel but it says that Hamas has to accept the nation state of Israel and disarm. That is not going to happen so point one has already failed. 2. Give significant land to the Palestinians. 3. Accept the legal and historical claims of Israel. I cannot see this one happening since the UN has already said that significant cities are not Jewish. Cities like Hebron and Jerusalem. 4. Avoid transfers of populations both Jewish and Arab. This is a positive of the plan because Israel has been the one to kick her people out of her land. The bad side is that the Israeli settlements are fixed and cannot expand. That is going to happen when God moves to give the land back to Israel! 5. Enhances mobility of both populations. There will be an incredible amount of money invested! 6. Provides pragmatic transportation solutions to address the needs of Israelis and Arabs. 7. Enhances the economic needs of both groups and especially the needs of the State of Palestine. 8. A significant expansion of Gaza, its development and success. 9. Facilitate the need for the state of Palestine into regional and global economies!

Why have the Palestinians rejected the deal, even before they read it? The Palestinian Liberation Organization was formed in 1964 with the expressed desire to kill all of the Jews and take all of the land to themselves. Even though they changed the name to Palestine Authority to deceive people, their desire is the same. They believe that Israel stole their land—plain and simple. It is Psalm 83:4-5, They have said, “Come, and let us wipe them out as a nation, That the name of Israel be remembered no more. For they have conspired together with one mind; Against You they make a covenant:” The charter of the PLO is and still says, “armed struggle is the only way to liberate Palestine.” They want to liberate all of Israel but when it was written they already had the West Bank, the year was 1964. The PLO has been a failure becasuse Israel keeps getting more land. I wish they would stop giving back land they win in war! The deal constantly says that Hamas needs to disband, accept Israel, and cede authority to the PA—this is never going to happen. The charter of Hamas is very clear, they want to obliterate Israel. They cry peace, peace, and there is no peace!! This Peace Deal is a solution of the world and not God. It is like a final solution for the Arabs and many Muslims because they have not given up the goal of kicking all Jews out of Israel and killing them. The most ridiculous demand of the deal is that Hamas has to demilitarize— Really!!

What can come from this deal? The areas of the West Bank that are not part of the plan, Israel promises not to expand into those parts of the land of Israel. I think God will change this quickly. Netanyahu accepts the deal but I think he knows that it will fail and they will get all of their land through the war that will be started because of the hatred of the Muslim world. The IDF is preparing for this war as Israel is claiming sovereignty over the Jordan valley which the world already rejects. How can you make the Palestinians accept it when they were never included in the negotiations? This plan definitely exposes the corruption of the Palestinians, and Israel gets to take more of her land, that is the bottom line. God is in control and I will stand on the promise that God made, not the peace deal.

Here is a headline from today that should not shock us: In Wake of Trump Deal Muslims Warn of New reality on Temple Mount: “Muslims Only” — The Jordanian Ministry Of Awqaf And Islamic Affairs reacted negatively to President Trump’s proposal for peaceful coexistence between Israelis and Palestinians by saying that ‘Deal of the Century’ imposed a “new reality on the Temple Mount. “Non-Muslims have no right in the Al-Aqsa Mosque,” Trump’s deal called to end the racist apartheid policy currently being held in place by Palestinian threats of terrorism.

The Peace deal says, “Unlike many previous powers that had ruled Jerusalem, and had destroyed the holy sites of other faiths, the State of Israel is to be commended for safeguarding the religious sites of all and maintaining a religious status quo. Given this commendable record for more than half a century, as well as the extreme sensitivity regarding some of Jerusalem’s holy sites, we believe that this practice should remain, and that all of Jerusalem’s holy sites should be subject to the same governance regimes that exist today. In particular the status quo at the Temple Mount/Haram al-Sharif should continue uninterrupted. “Jerusalem’s holy sites should remain open and available for peaceful worshippers and tourists of all faiths. People of every faith should be permitted to pray on the Temple Mount/Haram al-Sharif, in a manner that is fully respectful to their religion, taking into account the times of each religion’s prayers and holidays, as well as other religious factors.” This would include Jews but of course like usual, the Muslims find a way to attack Israel.

The violence on the Temple Mount will end when Israel starts taking action and abandons their passive acceptance of Muslim hatred and violence. Jews have a right to pray anywhere in their land, including anywhere on the Temple Mount. The Muslims do not have the right to stop Jews from praying on the Temple Mount, their supreme court needs to rule that the Temple Mount is in Jerusalem that Israel owns!! One day soon Israel will take her land, this next few months will be filled with violence because the peace deal will not bring peace! There have been riots on the Temple Mount including today. The Peace Deal will also be rejected because it is from Trump. Look at this headline: Second Top Gantz Aide/Former Obama Adviser Compares Trump to Hitler; Says President is ‘Using’ Israel– Blue and White leader Benny Gantz’s campaign strategist Joel Benenson, who also served as chief strategist for Hillary Clinton’s failed presidential campaign in 2016, has made a number of inflammatory comments against U.S. President Donald Trump on social media, claims that the president is using Israel to cover for his “blatant racism” and drew comparisons between him and Adolf Hitler. As the nation is in the midst of impeachment proceedings, expect the Democrats to start throwing out the line that they have to reject the deal because Trump is anti-Semitic. This top aid is like many Democrats, they hate Trump so much, anything he does should be rejected. I cannot see any Democrat backing the Peace Deal. Here is one quote: “The Democrats running for president have hewed to the party line in criticizing the Israeli-Palestinian peace plan rolled out by President Donald Trump: Unilateral annexation of settlements is the wrong way to go.”

Not many people are talking about this, but I really think that Trump set up the Palestinians to lose all of their land to the Jews. It is in Gods plan, I think it will happen soon. God has a One State Solution to the whole world, not just for Israel and Palestinians. His One State Solution has a Jewish Messiah ruling the whole world from Jerusalem—we are fast heading to that day. Zechariah 14:9, ‘And the LORD will be king over all the earth; in that day the LORD will be the only one, and His name the only one.’ Pray for that day to come soon, Maranatha!

Prophecy Update: Gog Magog War is Antisemitism 1/24/2020

Last week I focused on some of the international developments surrounding the setting up of the Gog Magog prophecy. This week I would like to continue that focus. The countries involved with the prophecy are mostly Muslim and they have demonstrated extreme anti-Semitic behavior. One commentator last week wrote an article about Muslim antisemitism driving Europe to attack Jews. Europe has always had a problem with antisemitism. Whether it is old or new antisemitism, it is all the same, finding some pretext to attack and destroy Jews. Adding Islam to the European mixture of antisemitism makes things worse. Here are some recent articles describing this antisemitism:

Majority of Israelis fear for Jews living in France: Jan.21, 2020. “The majority of Israeli citizens are concerned for the safety of Jews living in France as fears over the rise of anti-Semitism in Europe and the western world continue to grow, a new survey commissioned for i24NEWS and revealed on Monday finds.

Don’t Blame the Surge of European Anti-Semitism on the Populists: By JONATHAN S. TOBIN
May 29, 2019. “European Union survey of German Jews conducted last year showed that a plurality of Jews who say they experienced anti-Semitic harassment said the perpetrators were Muslim extremists.” With the rise of populist candidates in Europe, the press will only say that antisemitism comes from the right. ‘Right’ is used as a derogative term to lump everyone together who is against globalism. The meaning that the press in Europe and America want to convey is that anyone on the ‘right’ is anti-Semitic. Therefore, in America if you are a Republican you are anti-Semitic and if you’re a Democrat you are not anti-Semitic.

In Ezekiel 36-39 we have the prophetic teaching on the reestablishment of Israel in her land and the subsequent attack of the nations who comprise the Gog Magog invasion. What is interesting about the total prophecy is the emphases put on the ‘mountains of Israel.’ The term ‘mountains of Israel’ appears eleven times and it is clear that Israel needs to be in the land and occupying the ‘mountains of Israel.’ Currently that is not the case because the Arabs occupy more of the ‘mountains of Israel’ then Jews do. 2.1 million Arabs live in the West Bank and 450,000 Jews live in the West Bank. That is quite a difference but God says in Ezekiel 36:8, ‘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.” God makes clear in the 11 occurrences of this phrase that Israel will have the land to herself, very few if any Arabs will be living there. 36:12 makes clear what God is going to do with the cities in the West Bank—“Yes, I will cause men—My people Israel—to walk on you and possess you, so that you will become their inheritance and never again bereave them of children.’

For the Gog Magog prophecy to happen the lands of Judea and Samaria need to be occupied by Jews and that is not the case today. The prophetic passages about the ‘mountains of Israel’ make clear that the war happens in the mountains, which Israel occupies. For instance, Ezekiel 38:8 agrees with chapters 36-37 when it says, “After many days you (Gog) will be summoned; in the latter years you will come into the land that is restored from the sword, whose inhabitants have been gathered from many nations to the mountains of Israel which had been a continual waste; but its people were brought out from the nations, and they are living securely, all of them.” God will bring back the Jews from Europe and America to Judea and Samaria to live and prosper. This is called Aliyah, which means the return of Jews to the land of Israel. The only way I see that Israel will take the land back is through war. The reason is because the Arab states and the 57 Muslim countries of the world have made it clear that Israel is occupying their land. That is why what is happening in Israel today is so miraculous! Here is an article that is blowing me away because it concerns the Holocaust.

Massive Gathering of Kings in Jerusalem on Thursday: By Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz January 20, 2020. “On Thursday, Jerusalem’s role as a gathering place for kings will appear. The event commemorates the Holocaust but one rabbi sees it as a decisive moment in which the nations will choose which side they will fight for in the final battle between Good and Evil. The Fifth World Holocaust Forum called “Remembering the Holocaust, Fighting Antisemitism,” organized by the World Holocaust Forum Foundation in cooperation with Yad Vashem, the World Holocaust Remembrance Center, will take place on 23 January 2020 at the museum’s Warsaw Ghetto Square in Jerusalem. The event marks the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp and International Holocaust Remembrance Day.” “Whenever world leaders gather in Jerusalem, its a sign the holy city is claiming its rightful, biblical place as the seat of global leadership,” said Rabbi Tuly Weisz, publisher of Breaking Israel News. This is good news because there are still people who want to live in peace and protect the Jews. On the other hand, there are many who want to kill all of the Jews. Look at this headline:

We will soon establish the caliphate, liberate Jerusalem and conquer Rome’: January 19, 2020 / MEMRI. Rome will be conquered by Islam in the near future, Palestinian preacher Nidhal Siam told an enthusiastic crowd last week at an event in Jerusalem’s Al-Aqsa Mosque marking the anniversary of the 1453 C.E. capture of Constantinople by the Ottoman Empire. Siam can be seen telling a crowd that three prophecies will soon be fulfilled and expressing his hope that his audience will be the ones to fulfill them. The three prophecies, said Siam, are that a rightly guided caliphate will be established; that Jerusalem will be liberated and established as the capital of the caliphate; and that Islam “will throw its neighbors to the ground” and its reach will span the globe. Can you imagine that—Jerusalem has 49 nations coming together saying ‘never again’ while Muslims are saying ‘we will do it again.’ Here are a few more examples this week of this horrible antisemitism:

Apple goes Full BDS as Siri calls Israel ‘Zionist Occupation State’: By David Sidman January 19, 2020. “Apple customer Stephen Ackerman asked Apple’s voice-activated virtual search assistant ‘Siri’ a simple question: “Who is the president of Israel?” Siri’s response, however, came as quite a shock to Ackerman after she answered: “Reuven Rivlin is the President of the Zionist Occupation state”.

PA Calls to Commemorate Holocaust Memorial Day by Killing Jews (Seriously): By Palestinian Media Watch January 19, 2020.

While that is going on in Jerusalem, Russia has moved another step closer to full dictatorship with Putin. He does not want to leave office and he is acting more and more like Gog.
The Rise Of Gog? Putin Positions Himself To Influence Russia For Life: The move is intended according to many for Putin to retain power after the end of his presidency in 2024. “It’s not clear what role he will play, what will his status be. The only thing which is clear is that he will keep his role as the No. 1 person,” Alexey Chesnakov, a political analyst who previously served as a Kremlin aide, told The Wall Street Journal. Putin called for 150,000 more troops in the last three months. He gave a state of the union speech that can be characterized as a call to war.

On Jan. 23, Putin will give an address at a ceremony in Israel commemorating the 75th anniversary of the Red Army’s liberation of Auschwitz, but Polish President Andrzej Duda has refused to go because he hasn’t been given a chance to speak. The antisemitism currently in the Baltic States, Ukraine, Russia, and Poland will be a major incentive for the Gog Magog war to start. The reason is because all of those nation have declared that Israel is an occupying power. Imagine what they will say when Israel takes sovereignty over Judea and Samaria?

You don’t have to wonder anymore because Israel is currently in the process of declaring Judea and Samaria sovereign Israeli territory. This is in reaction to the Peace Deal from President Trump. Whatever is in that deal, it is inspiring Israel to declare the land theirs!! Here is an article about this:

Netanyahu seeks green light from White House to annex Jordan Valley: JERUSALEM POST STAFF, TOVAH LAZAROFF JANUARY 22, 2020. “Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his office appealed to the White House on Wednesday for a green light to apply Israeli sovereignty on the Jordan Valley and the northern region of the Dead Sea before the March 2 elections, Kan 11 News reported on Wednesday morning. Yisrael Beytenu partly head Avigdor Liberman also said his party supported the move, noting that it had attempt with no success to put forward a Knesset bill on sovereignty in Judea and Samaria already in December, noting that Netanyahu could use his bill. He urged Netanyahu to include in his initiative places in Area C of the West Bank such as Gush Etzion, Ma’aleh Adumim, Givat Ze’ev and Ariel. It’s presumed that should the matter come to a vote, Netanyahu would have the support of Beit Yehudi, the New Right, his Likud Party, Yisrael Beytenu, Shas and UTJ. That would give him at least 63 votes.“
This is an amazing article and one which I have been following closely because it is very specific to Bible Prophecy happening now. On Thursday, President Trump asked if they would wait to annex the Jordan Valley until after the Peace Deal was revealed. I am worried about this peace deal because all of them have asked Israel to give up her land. Hopefully this announcement of the White House means that they can annex the Jordan Valley. If Israel annexes the Jordan valley, the cry from the UN and the Muslim countries will be unlike you have ever heard. I have a caution for everyone though, right now Putin and Russia do not show the kind of animosity towards Israel that the prophecy foresees. God has to drag Russia into this by putting a hook in her jaw and pulling her into the war. Interesting article that sheds some light on this:

Why Russia’s Putin has a soft spot for Israel and Jews: Yochanan Visser, 19/01/20
“Putin’s attitude toward Israel could be best dubbed as ambivalent. On one hand, he’s allowing Israel to carry out airstrikes against Iran-related targets in Syria despite the deployment of the S-300 missile shield which is designed to shoot down incoming fighter jets except for Israel’s F-35 Adir stealth warplane. On the other hand, the Russian leader isn’t afraid to seek a confrontation with the Jewish state such as the crisis that erupted over the alleged Israeli downing of a Russian IL-20 reconnaissance plane over northwest Syria in September 2018.”

Putin is acting like Gog but hasn’t made a move against Israel yet. The Russian army is in the position to invade by being in Syria, but they are not ready to invade. Israel is moving into Judea and Samaria little by little, but they are not where the Bible says they will be when the prophecy happens. So there is much to watch and pray about. If the Gog Magog prophecy happens before the Rapture, then I expect this year that Israel will take the West Bank back fully, so there will be some kind of regional war. I can see that happening any day.

Pay attention to Aliyah, the return of Jews to the land. God has called the Jews to go back to the land but from some places, they are not coming. Jeremiah 16:14-16 says, “Therefore behold, days are coming,” declares the LORD, “when it will no longer be said, ‘As the LORD lives, who brought up the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt,’ but, ‘As the LORD lives, who brought up the sons of Israel from the land of the north and from all the countries where He had banished them.’ For I will restore them to their own land which I gave to their fathers. “Behold, I am going to send for many fishermen,” declares the LORD, “and they will fish for them; and afterwards I will send for many hunters, and they will hunt them from every mountain and every hill and from the clefts of the rocks.” Soon Jews will be leaving America for their homeland because God has willed it. I love the Jews and want them to stay because they are a great people and bring the blessing of God to the land.

It is Friday morning and the big news is that on next Tuesday the Trump Administration will reveal the Deal of the Century. Word is that the USA will back Israel claim to the Jordan Valley and will stand by them in that claim. This is setting up a conflict because the Palestinian Authority will oppose it completely. Sunday night we will talk about this at length and I will be doing a history lesson on why Israel owns all of the land. International law and the claims of the Muslim countries are subject to Gods claim to the land. Nothing trumps what God has declared that Jewish land extends from the river in Egypt to the Euphrates River and from Lebanon in the north to the Red sea in the south. Even the peace deal by the Trump Administration does not go far enough to give them all of the land. Every peace deal has fallen short of what God said would happen. Warning: do not divide the land of Israel because it will bring the wrath of God. One reason for the tribulation period is the peace deal from the antichrist who will also divide the land and then try to destroy Israel. Can’t wait to talk about this Sunday night. Maranatha everyone!

Prophecy Update: Gog Magog: Setting the Stage. 1/15/20

Ezekiel 38-39 details for us a future war. The last 30 years some of the design features of the war have come into view. Russia and Iran have been fostering a relationship, both militarily and economically for the past 25 years. That relationship is leading to more and more cooperation militarily in Syria. This is a very important development. Also, since 2000, Turkey has left the relationship it had with the United States and Israel to become an enemy. This nation also has joined Russia and Iran militarily in Syria. These are very important developments!

First, Russia leads a coalition of nations to attack Israel. The coalition is led by a person called ‘Gog’ from Russia. Ezek.38:2 says, “Son of man, set your face toward Gog of the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him.” Joel Rosenberg likes to say, ‘I do not know if Putin is Gog but he sure acts Gogian like.’

Second, Iran, Libya, Turkey, Ethiopia, and a few more nations will align themselves with Russia to come and attack Israel. Ezek.38 5-6, “Persia, Ethiopia and Put with them, all of them with shield and helmet; Gomer with all its troops; Beth-togarmah from the remote parts of the north with all its troops—many peoples with you.”

For the first time in October, Russia and Iran conducted joint military maneuvers in Syria. Here is the headline: In face of protests, Syria, Russia and Iran conduct joint military exercise in Deir az-Zour. “Syrian regime forces are conducting joint military exercises with both Russian and Iranian troops west of Deir az-Zour, a new development that may signal a significant change to recent unrest in the east of the country.” This is a huge development because it has never happened before. It complicates the situation for Israel because they bomb Iranian outposts frequently. More on this later.

Also, in November, Russia and Turkey started joint military maneuvers! Here is the headline: Russia and Turkey begin joint patrols in northeast Syria. Another headline pulls this together, Turkey, Russia, Iran: Filling the Vacuum in the Middle East. Therefore, we can see that the last few months have increased the cooperation between the major players in the Gog Magog Prophecy. The fact that they are operating in Syria is also amazing.

Syria: when the civil war broke out in Syria, the United States decided under President Obama to disengage. When the US disengaged it gave Russia an open door to enter into a nation strategically placed next to Israel. This is very significant to the stage setting of the prophecy. The way that Obama treated the Syrian civil war is the way the west will treat the invasion of Israel in the Gog Magog War. How did Obama treat the civil war? He drew a red line over using chemical weapons. Bashir Assad and his Shiite armies were losing to the Sunni forces. In August 2013, in the middle of the night on August 21, the Syrian military had attacked rebel-controlled areas of the Damascus suburbs with chemical weapons, killing nearly 1,500 civilians, including more than 400 children. This brazen assault had clearly crossed the “red line” that President Barack Obama had enunciated a year earlier—that if Assad used chemical weapons, it would warrant U.S. military action. We never attacked because the Obama administration negotiated with Russia to remove chemical weapons from Syria. Obama brought Russia into the fray in 2013. When the USA refused to act, Russian forces entered Syria to support the Shiite militias and Syrian army under Assad in 2015. This in turn brought Iran into the fray because they are the natural Shia allies of Syria. Obama’s response—-nothing!

Fast forward from 2015 to today and you will see 8 Russian military outposts on the northern border of Israel on the Golan Heights. You used to see UN troops there as I did in 2014. The UN troops are gone and Russian and Iranian troops now are entrenched on the northern border of Israel. This is a huge step forwards for the prophecy. What happens when the forces of Iran and Russia unite?

The prophecy includes an important detail about the passivity of the rest of the nations. There is no super power to stand in the way of Russia and all of the nations with her. Ezek.38:13 describes the passive way the nations respond to this attack: “Sheba and Dedan and the merchants of Tarshish with all its villages will say to you, ‘Have you come to capture spoil? Have you assembled your company to seize plunder, to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to capture great spoil?’”’ No one comes to Israel aid because God wants to get the glory for rescuing His people. This does not fit the circumstances we see today. The reason is that the USA would fight for Israel under President Trump. We would not have fought for Israel under President Obama. What will cause the USA to be a passive observer like the prophecy reveals?

There is no doubt that Russia is the king maker in the Middle East right now. The US exercises power thru Israel but we are not currently at war and the US wants to pull out of the Middle East. We have beat ISIS and President Trump wants to get out. We do not need their oil anymore, why put up with the headache? Although we are pulling out, we would still fight for Israel. Here is an article about this.

Is Putin the New King of the Middle East? Patrick J. Buchanan | October 18, 2019 “Russia Assumes Mantle of Supreme Power Broker in the Middle East,” proclaimed Britain’s Telegraph.
The article began: “Russia’s status as the undisputed power-broker in the Middle East was cemented as Vladimir Putin continued a triumphant tour of capitals traditionally allied to the US.” He gets on with everyone. He is welcomed in Iran by the Ayatollah, meets regularly with Bibi Netanyahu, is a cherished ally of Syria’s Bashar Assad, and this week was being hosted by the King of Saudi Arabia and the royal rulers of the UAE. October 2019 has been a triumphal month.”
One day God says He will put a hook in the jaw of Gog and drag him down for war with Israel. Ezek.38 3-4, says this, “Thus says the Lord GOD, “Behold, I am against you, O Gog, prince of Rosh, Meshech and Tubal. “I will turn you about and put hooks into your jaws, and I will bring you out, and all your army, horses and horsemen, all of them splendidly attired, a great company with buckler and shield, all of them wielding swords.” Why is God doing this? God is going to punish all of these nations for their hatred of God and His people Israel. God has enough reason to do this now for how Christians have been treated in all of these places. What are the hooks in the jaws? The pieces of the puzzle are partially there but not all the way yet. The hooks are being set!

The conflict between Iran and the USA is part of the hook. Taking out Soliemani is pushing the anger of Iran to attack Israel. Iran cannot invade Israel alone and they need the power of Russia to help beat Israel. Iran knows that they need many others to accomplish their ultimate goal. It was Soliemani’s job to increase the proxy groups ability to attack Israel. Trump attacking Iran like he did causes more and more people to want to get rid of him. Iran put an 80 million dollar reward up for anyone who would kill Trump. The passivity of the USA will have to happen when Trump is out of office. Here is what others said of Trumps action against Iran:

Joe Biden said of Trump killing Soliemani—“President Trump just tossed a stick of dynamite into a tinderbox.” Elizabeth Warren said, “this reckless move escalates the situation with Iran.” Bernie Sanders said, “Trumps dangerous escalation brings us closer to another disastrous war in the Middle East.” If these leaders understood Bible Prophecy they would never have said what they did. In Joe Biden’s world, the problem in the Middle East is Israel. He was part of the group that gave 150 billion dollars to Iran to attack Jews and kill Americans in the Middle East. Soliemani was using money that Biden gave him to attack our embassy in Baghdad. When Soliemani attacked the embassy, it was an act of war and killing him was part of the war. Biden, Warren, and Sanders all are complicit in giving the money to Iran. Iran wants to attack Israel alone but the prophecy says they will do it with Russia. If Iran does attack Israel alone—it is not the Gog Magog Prophecy!

One of the hooks in the jaw is economics as the prophecy states. Turkey did something very bold by making a treaty with Libya to dominate the Mediterranean Sea and keep Israel from shipping natural gas to Europe. On 14 December 2019, “Turkish ships said to force Israeli research vessel out of Cypriot waters. According to TV report, Turkish navy intercepts Israeli boat, orders it to leave; Turkey’s recent maritime deal with Libya has fueled regional tensions over drilling rights.” Think about this—if Israel attacks Turkish ships to prevent them from stopping Israeli shipping, what would Russia do? Russia does not want Israel to ship gas to Europe. It would be a devastating thing to the Russian economy. The Channel 13 report noted “that tensions could negatively affect Israel’s plans for a submarine pipeline to transfer gas from its offshore reserves to Europe, which is set to pass through Cyprus and Greece’s territorial waters.” Russia is happy about Turkey doing this to Israel. Israel will have to respond with force eventually, keep your eyes on this one.

That brings me to today—the dust up with Iran and America has caused the European Union to revisit the Iran deal. They never left the deal as America did. Here is an article about what the pacifists, enablers of Iran hegemony had to say: France, Britain, Germany trigger Iran nuclear deal dispute mechanism. France, Britain and Germany formally triggered the dispute mechanism in Iran’s nuclear deal on Tuesday, the strongest step the Europeans have taken so far to enforce an agreement that requires Iran to curb its nuclear program. The European powers said they were acting to avoid a crisis over nuclear proliferation adding to an escalating confrontation in the Middle East. “In a statement, they said they still want the nuclear deal to succeed and were not joining a “maximum pressure” campaign against Iran by the United States, which abandoned the deal in 2018 and has reimposed crippling economic sanctions.” See this for the smoke screen that it is. The European Union has not shown a backbone when it comes to Iran. Where is the European Union on Iranian troops setting up shop on the border of Israel? That’s right, they are glad it is happening. Why does the European Union lodge complaint after complaint when Israel in an act of defense bombs those Iranian military outposts in Syria? That’s right, because they want Israel to be defeated. Here is an article about that:
SYRIAN ARMY SAYS ISRAEL CARRIED OUT AIRSTRIKES ON THEIR T-4 MILITARY BASE NEAR THE CITY OF HOMS IN WESTERN SYRIA. “Syria is claiming that Israel has been bombing their military installations and that is probably quite accurate. Israel has to routinely bomb these facilities in Syria because they house Iranian forces and equipment, which is how Iran wages war with Israel by proxy through Syria. Israel has been forced into the unenviable position of have to consistently not only defend themselves from Muslim aggression, but to be ever vigilant and do preemptive strikes as well. As long as there are Israelis who remember the Six Day War, they stand a pretty good chance of not being taken by surprise.”

Russia as of this moment has not supported outright Iranian aggression against Israel. They have not stopped the aggression nor have they stopped Israel defending herself when they bomb Iranian targets in Syria. When you see Russia start defending Iran in Syria, then that will be a sure marker that the Gog Magog Prophecy is in play. Russia is content right now that Bashir Assad is in office and that the Syrian army is winning back their land. There is one inconsistency in this though. Putin has allowed Iran to set up shop on Israel’s border. Why would he do that? He has not told the Iranians to get out nor has he stopped Israel from bombing them. This is another step forward in the Gog Magog Prophecy, Iranian forces are in Syria on the border of Israel and they will be there until the prophecy is complete. Until the day it happens, Israel will keep bombing and trying to stop Iran from getting a stronger foothold. Now the big problem as I see it. Russia and Iran are doing joint military maneuvers in northern Syria, what happens when Israel hits Russian forces by accident or intentionally when they are going after Iranian forces? What happens when Russia and Iran do joint maneuvers in southern Syria on Israel border? Do you see the problem today? This problem has not existed until now in Syria. Since October 2019, the Gog Magog Prophecy took a leap forward because Russian and Iranian forces are uniting in limited places. This is trouble! I am waiting to see Ezek.38:10 fulfilled: Thus says the Lord GOD, “It will come about on that day, that thoughts will come into your mind and you will devise an evil plan” Putin will start talking about this plan if he is Gog and we will hear it. Pay attention to Putin the next few months, it is close and he may well already be planning to attack Israel!

God has given us a blueprint of the end times and it is important that pastors alert their people to what is happening. We live in the most exciting times ever. I cannot go a day without seeing something in the news that does not relate to Bible Prophecy. This was not true 10 years ago. The birth pangs are getting closer and closer and it means that Jesus is at the door ready to come and get us. I started writing the prophecy updates because God was pushing me to do so. I felt His pleasure over alerting people to the times in which we live—as a watchman on the wall, I pray that all of you are drawing close to your Savior. Maranatha!

Prophecy Update: Musings About the World! 1/10/20

I wanted to give an overview of what I see happening in the world today. This overview comes from specific prophecies predicted in the Bible. Jesus was very clear about certain things regarding the last days. Those specifics are right in front of us for all to see.

Jesus said that the last days would concern the city of Jerusalem. Luke 21:24 gives us some light about our day: “and they will fall by the edge of the sword, and will be led captive into all the nations; and Jerusalem will be trampled under foot by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.”
Since 70AD, Jerusalem has been under the sovereignty of Gentile nations. Something great happened in 1967, Israel captured Jerusalem and since that time, Satan has been working overtime to prevent the Jews from gaining complete sovereignty over the city. Israel declared Jerusalem the capital of Israel in 1981, undivided and Jewish. Then the nations of the world through the UN cursed Israel for saying this and declared Jerusalem an international city. Then God moved the ball forward with the truth, He raised up nations to declare that what He said was true. That happened for the United States in 2018 when the USA moved the embassy to Jerusalem. The nations of the world reacted just as the Bible predicted, they would reject what the US did. With this one act, the nations of the world have resorted to absolute hatred for anyone supporting the Jews and Jerusalem. Several nations followed the lead of the USA and moved their embassies.

Several prophecies in the Old Testament teach what will happen:
Zech.12:2, “Behold I am going to make Jerusalem a cup that causes reeling to all the peoples around”
Zech.14:2, “For I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem to battle”….vs.3 “Then the Lord will go forth and fight against those nations as when He fights on a day of battle.”

Jerusalem is the center of the world and the centerpiece of what God is doing today. God is giving a message to the world—just as I demanded that the nations come to Jerusalem for salvation before Jesus came, I am demanding once again that you receive Jerusalem as My capitol city for the world. The world has an answer for the Lord in Psalm 2; the nations reject all that God is doing today. Just as the nations are rejecting Jesus as Messiah, they reject Jerusalem as the capitol city of the world. Why?

God is coming back to dwell in Jerusalem because He is jealous for His capital city. Jesus will reign over the earth from Jerusalem and He will make everyone come there each year to worship Him. Here are some verses to let you know where we are going:
Zechariah 1:14 “So the angel who was speaking with me said to me, “Proclaim, saying, ‘Thus says the LORD of hosts, “I am exceedingly jealous for Jerusalem and Zion.”
Zechariah 8:2-3, “Thus says the LORD of hosts, ‘I am exceedingly jealous for Zion, yes, with great wrath I am jealous for her.’ “Thus says the LORD, ‘I will return to Zion and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. Then Jerusalem will be called the City of Truth, and the mountain of the LORD of hosts will be called the Holy Mountain.’
Zechariah 14:9, 11, “And the LORD will be king over all the earth; in that day the LORD will be the only one, and His name the only one. …People will live in it, and there will no longer be a curse, for Jerusalem will dwell in security.”

Learn from the Word of God, Jesus is jealous for His city because He is coming to the city to rule over all of the nations of the world. He is going to build the Temple and Isaiah 2 tells us what will happen when the nations come: vs.3-4 says, “And many peoples will come and say, “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, To the house of the God of Jacob; That He may teach us concerning His ways And that we may walk in His paths.” For the law will go forth from Zion
And the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. And He will judge between the nations, And will render decisions for many peoples; And they will hammer their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, And never again will they learn war.”

What happened in the last few years in Jerusalem shows the spiritual fight going on in the supernatural realm. After Donald Trump declared what he was going to do with Israel and Jerusalem, the satanic realm went into overdrive. Satan raised up his evil ones to condemn and try to stop what President Trump did with Israel. They failed! So Satan raised up some of the most vile, evil, anti-Semitic people America has ever seen in our government. The four women Satan raised up (The Squad) are leading the Democratic Party to hate Israel and are moving the Democratic party to the left farther and farther. In March of 2019 was this article:
“The Fight Over Ilhan Omar Is a Fight Over the Identity of the Democratic Party”—Rep. Rashida Tlaib, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rep. Ilhan Omar, and Rep. Ayanna Pressley are called the squad. “The debate over Ilhan Omar reflects the radical shift happening in the Democratic base. The party’s young, multiethnic, definitively progressive wing has demonstrated its power to steer the country’s conversation on Israel and Palestine. Muslim political leaders have helped make this happen. Omar and her colleague from Michigan, Rashida Tlaib—along with activists such as Linda Sarsour, who helped lead the national Women’s March—have emerged as visible symbols of American progressivism.”

That leads to December 2019 when God moved the ball forward again prophetically! The Democratic Party is looking for favor with the Squad—consider this headline from Dec.14th,
Why 2020 Democrats Want Endorsements From ‘The Squad’—The move to the left is also a move to throw Israel under the bus. If Trump were not the President, Israel would have no America as an ally, only an enemy. This is what is at stake in 2020. Bernie Sanders and the other candidates for the Democratic ticket are falling over themselves to come out and hate on Israel.

Last week we killed the author of the final solution from Iran. General Quassam Solimani led the Quds force which is tasked with the murder of every Jew in the world and the conquering of Israel. He is now dead and the Democrats came out as pro Iran and anti American as I have ever seen them. The Wall Street Journal had this article about this:
The Democrats and Iran: Why can’t the party’s candidates simply admit Qasem Soleimani’s death makes Americans safer?

“President Trump’s order to take out Qasem Soleimani was morally, constitutionally and strategically correct. It deserves more bipartisan support than the begrudging or negative reactions it has received thus far from my fellow Democrats.” In fact, Democrats are claiming President Trump committed a war crime by killing the general!

Bernie Sanders made clear that he does not want the embassy in Jerusalem and does not want Israel to have all of her land. Two things that God is working towards. He said this: “Israeli settlements in occupied territory are illegal. This is clear from international law and multiple United Nations resolutions. Once again, Mr. Trump is isolating the United States and undermining diplomacy by pandering to his extremist base.” (Times of Israel, November 19, 2019) and this: Axios asked candidates if they would move the U.S. embassy back to Tel Aviv, Sanders refused to comment despite having criticized Trump’s decision to move the embassy to Jerusalem, saying that the move would “dramatically undermine the prospects for an Israeli-Palestinian peace agreement, and severely, perhaps irreparably, damage the United States’ ability to broker that peace.” (Axios, July 14, 2019) Likewise, all of the Democratic candidates are against what God has done the last two years! This headline appeared Thursday, January 9, 2020–Ilhan Omar voted 2019’s antisemite of the year!

The Real Russian Collusion: The Democrats who are standing with Iran are the real Russian colluders. The reason is that the coming coalition of Iran and Russia attacking Israel will get their hearty approval. It is already happening— “CNN Gives Platform To Spokeswoman For The 1979 US Embassy Hostage-Takers To Push Iran Propaganda.” The interview was conducted to give the Iranian side, claiming the USA was a racist nation in 1979 and today because we killed Soliemani. Just as CNN only gives support to Democrats, they also push an anti-American agenda. All of the Democratic contenders for president share the Russian view that Israel does not have the right to the settlements and the Golan Heights. Once again, President Trump has moved the ball forward prophetically speaking by recognizing the Golan Heights as sovereign territory of Israel and the settlements as legal under international law. The Democrats have rejected both views. The Democrats will not have Israel’s back at the UN, this is not the case in the Trump administration.

The headline today makes clear that the land of Israel is at the center of Gods prophetic will!
Pompeo says U.S. support for Israeli settlements advances peace with Palestinians. This headline is interesting for many reasons. First, it is about advancing peace and when they say peace, peace, there will be no peace. Second, the settlements do not belong to Israel according to the UN and the Palestinians. God says otherwise. This is setting up a battle which Israel will win because it is the will of our heavenly Father to bring Jews back to the land of Israel and settle them there! Here is an important quote:
“In a reversal of four decades of U.S. policy, Pompeo in November announced that the United States no longer viewed Israel’s settlements on West Bank land it captured in the 1967 Middle East war as “inconsistent with international law”.
How do you think that Satan responded? He moved his minions to attack Israel. Here is a quote about the attack: But the move delighted Israel and provides important U.S. support amid a potential International Criminal Court (ICC) inquiry into alleged war crimes in Palestinian areas, including the West Bank. Last month, the ICC’s chief prosecutor said she would launch a full investigation in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip as soon as the Hague-based body’s jurisdiction had been established.

If you can’t beat Israel thru war, boycotts, and terrorism, then take them to court. The international court will declare Israel guilty of war crimes because that is what anti-Semites do. The facts do not matter, but the Word of God matters. The Word of God declares that Israel will get this land back and they will live on their land in peace. But first, the rebellion against God among the nations has to take place. The rebellion will include the rise of antichrist and the tribulation period. That got me thinking about this year. It is an election year and a lot is at stake this year in America. What vision do you have of our country?

Something that would never have happened under any other administration happened this week. The Trump administration went above and beyond the call of duty to support Israel. In 1978, during President Carters administration, the State Department crafted a policy that stated the Jewish presence in the West Bank was illegal under international law. Here is the headline:
“Kohelet Policy Forum Applaud Trump Administration Announcement to “Disavow” Hansel Memo on Legality of Israeli Settlements. For decades, a brief and poorly-reasoned memo by a State Department official had been relied upon as evidence that Israeli settlements are illegal. Now, Secretary Pompeo makes clear that the U.S. not only does not adopt the conclusions of the Carter-era memo, but entirely repudiates it as a source of legal guidance. The announcement was made today by Secretary Mike Pompeo in video statement at the Kohelet Policy Forum Conference on the Pompeo Doctrine in Jerusalem.” Trump is destroying every law, legal opinion in the United States that has made the land of Israel illegal. No country will be able to stop God from accomplishing His plan to give His land back to His people Israel. I am glad for one that the USA has repudiated all the Obama administration did to hate on Israel. Today, we live in a land blessed of God because we blessed Israel.

Next week I am going to talk more about the Gog Magog Prophecy because so many parts of that prophecy are coming together. Here is a summary: President Trump said in his speech about the Soiamani attack, NATO needs to take more responsibility for the Middle East. Why? America does not need their oil anymore. This fits the prophecy because America is not in that war. Also, the passivity shown by the West in that war is currently residing in the hearts of the Democratic Party. It means that the wing of that party will be in power when that war takes place, or a Republican—not Trump—who is as passive as the Democrats. This passive view takes shape in the anti-Semitic attacks from Democrats. Bernie Sanders in an interview with NPR said that he would use diplomacy for the current situation with Iran. Really! I am glad for one that we have a President who is willing to protect Americans. Iran is not powerful enough to attack Israel on her own. This is why she needs Russia. There are many other things but you will have to wait until next week. As always, keep looking for the Lord to return—He loves it when we look for Him! Maranatha
