Prophecy Update: Battle for the Mediterranean 1/3/20

Revelation 13:1, “And the dragon stood on the sand of the seashore. Then I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads, and on his horns were ten diadems, and on his heads were blasphemous names.” The Sea is the Mediterranean Sea and the importance of this sea for the end times cannot be overlooked. I am focusing on the tensions regarding the Mediterranean in this update because 2020 will be a year of reckoning. The many prognostications about this year are all over the map. Here are some from Israel that bear on prophecy:

“The fellows of the Jerusalem Institute for Strategy and Security (JISS) considered the trends in Israel’s strategic orbit – both sweetheart and nightmare scenarios – and this week published a “forecast” for the year ahead with recommendations for Israeli policy. JISS experts say that Israel must be ready to tackle Iran militarily on its own and fight a pre-emptive war with Hezbollah. JISS experts also assess that Turkey’s basic hostility toward Israel and its nefarious meddling in eastern Jerusalem will continue. Israel should push back by checking the flow of Turkish funds to eastern Jerusalem institutions and by strengthening its ties to Cyprus and Greece – without forcing full-scale confrontation with Turkey.” Good luck with that one—Bible Prophecy says otherwise. There will be a full on military conflict with Turkey and Iran—here are some of the developments.

Two countries that are part of the Gog Magog war have signed a treaty to compete for the riches from the Mediterranean Sea. The two countries are Turkey and Libya. Here is the headline:
Newly Aggressive Turkey Forges Alliance With Libya Erdogan’s latest bid to reshape the Mediterranean provides military support to Tripoli against Russian-backed rebels. DECEMBER 23, 2019, 2:00 PM. “Turkey is meshing together two Mediterranean crises in a desperate bid to reshape the region in its own favor, with potentially nasty implications both for the ongoing civil war in Libya and future energy development in the eastern Mediterranean. Turkey sees a constellation of states such as Israel, Greece, Cyprus, and Egypt teaming up to exploit the region’s energy leaving Turkey in the cold.” ‘Turkey is laying claim to a huge chunk of the eastern Mediterranean—an area that includes large reservoirs of natural gas that Egypt, Israel, Cyprus, and even Lebanon are racing to exploit.’ As Turkey threatens Israel over its claims to natural gas, it is trying to prevent Israel from building a pipeline to Greece that will begin shipping gas to Europe. Turkey and Russia see that as a threat, Turkey thinks that the gas is theirs, and they are willing to provoke a fight over the issue.

‘Greece and Cyprus, which have long had maritime and territorial disputes with Turkey, say the accord is void and violates the international law of the sea. They see it as a cynical resource-grab designed to destroy the development of East Mediterranean gas and destabilize rivals. Greece has expelled Libya’s ambassador to Athens and filed a complaint with the United Nations. Cyprus, where the northern part of the island is held by Turkey, has raised its own objections. At a Dec. 12 summit, EU leaders issued a statement “unequivocally” siding with member states Greece and Cyprus.’ As this feud is brewing, the real problem is Israel. Israel is going to ship gas right through the so called zone that Turkey has created out of thin air.

“Turkey has thrown a wrench into the works of efforts by Cyprus, Greece, Israel and Egypt to develop East Mediterranean gas, putting a barrier across a proposed pipeline that would run from Israeli and Greek-Cypriot waters to the Greek island of Crete, on to the Greek mainland and into Europe’s gas network via Italy. The $7-9 billion pipeline would have to cross the planned Turkey-Libya economic zone.”
This is the problem, Turkey, much like China in the South China Sea, has declared international waters as their own and have defied anyone trying to stop them. Israel was smart from the beginning, after they found the gas, they made treaties with Cyprus, Greece, and Italy to ship the gas. One source said this: “The East Med basin is estimated to contain natural gas worth $700 billion, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.”

That is a lot of money and Turkey and Russia have been left out in the cold in these deals. Putin still thinks that he deserves a cut of the profits as they claim the process was unfair to them to help develop the gas fields. Contracts were not given to Russia and Russia is mad about it. Russia also wants to stop Israel from this action because it will cut into their profits selling energy to Europe. Turkey really offers nothing, they just want to steal the profits.

Dore Gold from Israel was interviewed regarding this problem. He pointed out that since 2002 Turkish leadership has been on a mission to undo what happened in World War One. That is when the Ottoman Empire lost most of its land outside of Turkey. They held land from Poland in the north to Saudi Arabia on its southern border. It also held land across northern Africa, including Algeria, Libya, Egypt, and Tunisia. He quoted the Turkish Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ahmed Davutuglo, “Like in the 16th century, which saw the rise of the Ottoman Balkans as the center of world politics, we will make the Balkans, the Caucuses, and the Middle East, together with Turkey, the center of world politics in the future. This is the objective of Turkish Foreign Policy.” The foreign Minister and the current President, Erdogan, have been in power since 2002, their mission is to reclaim the Ottoman Empire and conquer the lands that they once possessed. This would include Israel!

Here is where it gets weird. Turkey signed this agreement with Libya and that nation is in a civil war. When Jesus said there would be wars and rumors of wars, when he said that nation would rise against nation, Libya is proof positive of Jesus statement. The part of Libya that Turkey signed the deal with is at war in its own country against forces led by Russia. Do you see the problem? Israel claimed that the deal signed between Turkey and Libya was illegal. The struggle over Libya is important to the Gog Magog war in the future.

Guess where Prime Minister Netanyahu is today, Jan.2nd 2020? He is in Greece to respond to the Turkish threat. Netanyahu is traveling to Greece to participate in a trilateral meeting of Israeli, Greek, and Cypriot leaders. Today’s headlines say: Netanyahu in Athens to Ink Trilateral Gas Deal Amid Tensions With Turkey “The ambitious project to export Israeli and Cypriot gas to Europe has recently been challenged by the signing of a Turkey-Libya maritime deal. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is visiting Athens on Thursday in order to formally move ahead with the construction of the EastMed pipeline that will bring Israeli and Cypriot natural gas to the European market via Greece. The 2,000-kilometer (1,200-mile) pipeline will be able to transfer nine to 12 billion cubic meters a year from offshore gas reserves between Israel and Cyprus to Greece, and then on to Italy and other southeastern European countries.”
As these developments in the Mediterranean grow, the United States continues to support Israel. This strong support only fosters a hatred among the majority of nations. One thing that is completely ignored by these nations is the killing of Christians around the world. The nations hatred of Christianity is at an all-time high and is growing in the United States.

Here is an article from the Christian Post that describes some of the problems we face in the US.
What if America Continues to Ignore the Warning Signs? “While we are concerned with terrorism, and rightly so, there is a greater threat from within. We are witnessing the rapid deterioration of a nation before our eyes. We have become one nation “above” God, rather than under God.” Recently 200 pastors and Christian leaders wrote a response to Christianity Today for its condemnation of Christians who support President Trump. Christianity Today now supports removing Trump from office. I stopped reading Christianity Today over 20 years ago because it began supporting the social gospel and looked down on conservative Christians. The divisions in the church have come about because of our lack of love for the truth. Many believe a lie today—the gospel is equated with love and niceness, serving a God who does not hate evil and lacks holiness. It is with this church that God will begin His judgment!

The article went on to say that: “Roy Moore hits this head on when he wrote, “While truth and law were founded on the God of all creation, man now, through law, denies the truth and calls it ‘separation’. No longer does man see a need for God when he’s in full control, for the only truth self-evident is in the latest poll. But with man as his own master we fail to count the cost, our precious freedoms vanish and our liberty is lost. Children are told they can’t pray in school and they teach them evolution, when will they see the fear of God is the only true solution?” In other words, the USA is full of people in the churches who believe the lies of Satan and not the truth of the Bible. Pastors claim that defending the OT is a waste of time, they say that God as creator does not matter, that the gospel is only about the resurrection and love, not truth, ethics, morals, rules, and favor.

Favor, it is a very important word. I want the favor of God, I pray for Gods favor over our ministry, our church, our nation. Here is an article from a church that does not want Gods favor: PCUSA rationale: Social gospel trumps God’s gospel: “Looking ahead to this year’s 224th General Assembly in June, the Presbyterian Church (USA) will continue to embrace its rationale from last year’s “Big Tent” meeting in Baltimore, Maryland, which focused on forwarding a social gospel – not the gospel based in Scripture. This politically correct and LGBTQ-friendly doctrine is being used by PCUSA as it attempts to replace biblical morality with the term “institutional conventions” in order to justify undermining God’s standard for sexuality that condemns homosexual behavior as sin – something that should be abandoned … and never embraced.”

This problem in the PCUSA is a national problem. God is made to support every evil thing that He opposes in His Word. The liberal church turns truth on its head: instead of preaching against sin, embraces the sin. The Church is mandated by God to make disciples, disciples who deny themselves, take up their crosses, and follow Him. Jesus is a King, He does not let the servants dictate to Him what the king should do. The King is all powerful, all knowing, and is working out His plan. If people do not like our King, that is their problem, our King will deal with them and cast them into hell. Jesus said that if your not for Me your against Me, anyone against our King will be dealt with. We must warn the people that the King is coming and when He comes, He is not happy.

It is Thursday night and there is breaking news that the United States has killed the Iranian General over the Al Quds force. US assassinates Qasem Soleimani, Iran’s Khamenei warns of ‘harsh revenge’ Soleimani is the George Patton of the Iranian Generals. What is the Al Quds force? It literally means the Jerusalem force and the military wing of the Iranian army is tasked with taking back Jerusalem from the Jews! “The Quds unit in Iran’s Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) directed to carry out unconventional warfare and intelligence activities. Responsible for extraterritorial operations, the Quds Force supports non-state actors in many countries, including Lebanese Hezbollah, Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, Yemeni Houthis, and Shia militias in Iraq, Syria, and Afghanistan.” President Trump warned Iran earlier this week that if they did not stop the attack on our embassy in Baghdad, there would be harsh consequences. This strike takes out an evil, anti-Semitic, hater of Jesus and all Christians, a hater of America, and a murderer.
“General Soleimani and his Quds Force were responsible for the deaths of hundreds of American and coalition service members and the wounding of thousands more,” the Pentagon claimed, noting that the Iranian leader had orchestrated attacks on coalition bases in Iraq over the last several months, “including the attack on December 27th, cculminating in the death and wounding of additional American and Iraqi personnel.”
This event shows how there is a civil war in America—the response from the democrats was to support Iran. Omar-Dems-Media Side with Iran Against Trump’s War on Terror –“Ah, Those who call evil good And good evil; Who present darkness as light And light as darkness; Who present bitter as sweet And sweet as bitter!” Isaiah 5:20–Critics of President Trump lined up to decry his recent order that eliminated one of the greatest threats to the U.S.; an Iranian general with American and Israeli blood on his hands. The media was no better, choosing to support the Iranians rather than the president. The New York Times, a formerly prominent and reliable news source, posted a tweet describing the rioters that stormed the U.S. Embassy as “Iraqi mourners.”

2020 will bring more civil war in America, more war in the Middle East, and more tension over Israel getting her land back. It is Biblical Prophecy and you have been chosen by God to live in such a great day. Jesus said that this age would close after the gospel has gone to all of the nations of the earth. Are you praying for the gospel to go forth? Are you praying for your lost neighbors? Pray for us, we have a big evangelistic event planned for February 1st love to see God save a lot of people! Maranatha!

Prophecy Update: Gog Magog Tie to America 12/13/2019

Who is at the center of investigations into President Trump? Russia! Who is at the center of problems with Ukraine? Russia! Who is at the center of the impeachment trial? Russia! Who is at the helm of power in Syria? Russia! Who is poised on the border of Israel? Russia! Who is demonstrating resistance and hatred of America? Russia and Iran! Do you notice a pattern? What is the center of the IG report on Dec.9th? Russia! Why so much hatred for Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu? Because at the heart of their policies, they advocate for the land of Israel and God’s will regarding nations. Satan is on the march to curse Israel and America and God is on the march to fulfill the great commission and establish the State of Israel including all of her land and Jerusalem. What a conflict!! We get to live and see it up close and personal. Jesus criticized the people in His day for not watching and knowing what time it was: Matt.16:3 says, “And in the morning, ‘There will be a storm today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ Do you know how to discern the appearance of the sky, but cannot discern the signs of the times? The signs of the times are very obvious for those who know the Bible and Russia and Iran are at the center!

The prophecy regarding Russia and Iran in Ezekiel 38-39 shows that many nations will have to respond to the war started by Russia against Israel. The nations of the world take a pass, they respond with passivity. Right now that does not fit the conditions which America exhibits in her relationship with Russia and Israel. Russia is under great economic pressure because America has economic sanctions leveled at the Russian Federation. Congress reported on this in August of this year. Here are some observations from the summary:

U.S. Sanctions on Russia: An Overview, Updated August 29, 2019
“The United States imposes sanctions on Russian persons (individuals, entities, and vessels) in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, election interference, other malicious cyber-enabled activities, human rights abuses, use of a chemical weapon, weapons proliferation, illicit trade with North Korea, and support to Syria and Venezuela.” So you can see that Russia is still under these sanctions and they are having an effect on the economy of Russia but not on the behavior of Russia. This is an important point: Russia is committed to its path and they are at a state of war with America and most Americans have no clue.

This headline is typical of headlines the past few years. Russia likens US sanctions to economic war — and threatens response ‘by other means’
Russia has threatened the USA with nuclear war many times the last five years and they can pull it off. We in the west do not realize that Russia is not alone, they have China in their corner who is also preparing for war with the USA. They are using asymmetrical warfare like China and have an evil plan. What strikes me about the Gog Magog prophecy is that the USA is either unable to respond to the attack on Israel or they are unwilling. America is incredibly weak, disunity and infighting carries the day. The fake news is designed to destroy Christianity and all Christian morals. Trump represents a message that the fake news hates and despises. News like this:

Trump to Sign Executive Order Cracking Down on College Anti-Semitism
The President has done something amazing, he declared that being Jewish means that you are part of a nationality and a nation. This means that he can withhold funding from colleges who engage in anti-Semitic behavior. The 1964 Civil Rights law will be used to stop the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanction Israel movement in colleges. This declaration by Trump means that he agrees with Gen.12 that Israel is a nation and Jews are part of a nation. This is making the enemies of Trump lose their minds again. One lawyer said this, Lawfare Project Executive Director Brooke Goldstein similarly said in a statement, “The president’s action will protect Judaism under civil rights law and empower the Education Department to withhold money from institutions that tolerate anti-Israel movements.” But the anti-Semites said this, “President Donald Trump plans to sign an executive order Wednesday designed to cut off aid to colleges that tolerate anti-Semitism, but which critics call an effort to stifle free speech and criticism of Israel.” With antisemitism at an all time high in Europe and Russia, you would think that people would welcome the protection of Jews among the democrats, not so though, they want to hurt Israel.

That leads me to the news this week. The Democrats are conducting a coup to remove the President because they cannot beat him at the polls.

The Inspector Generals report was about the conduct of the FBI and others in the Obama administration who broke the law. The report centers on investigating the Trump Administration for colluding with Russia. Here are a few articles that illustrate how Russia is at the center of the controversy.
Barr disagrees with Horowitz report on Russia probe launch. Fox News
“Attorney General William Barr publicly disagreed with the Justice Department’s inspector general, Michael E. Horowitz, on Monday following the release of a long-awaited internal review that concluded the FBI had sufficient reason to launch the extensive Russia probe involving the Trump campaign, although members of the bureau committed some significant errors. “The inspector general’s report now makes clear that the FBI launched an intrusive investigation of a U.S. presidential campaign on the thinnest of suspicions that, in my view, were insufficient to justify the steps taken,” Barr said in a statement. All of 2016-2018, the Russian collusion hoax was pursued by the left and those who hate Israel and Christians. They failed. There is also an attack on Benjamin Netanyahu.

Netanyahu is under a lot of pressure to give up his office and stop him from annexing Judea and Samaria, here is an article about that.

AG’s office said to warn PM Jordan Valley annexation could lead to ICC probe. “Legal officials tell Netanyahu move could land IDF officers and West Bank mayors in The Hague, after premier vows to carry out pre-election pledge. Officials in the attorney general’s office have recently warned Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that making good on his pledge to annex the Jordan Valley could lead to the opening of International Criminal Court investigations against IDF officers and Israeli mayors in the West Bank, according to a report Monday. The warnings come amid Netanyahu’s repeated insistence in recent weeks that Israel currently enjoys a unique “window of opportunity” provided by a supportive Trump administration that would allow it to annex the Jordan Valley with surmountable international backlash.”

In the midst of these two attacks on Trump and Netanyahu, Jews more and more are claiming the land of Israel. An example of this is Hebron.
“Hebron Palestinians go on strike, clash with troops to protest settlement plan. Shops, cafes and schools closed after action called by Fatah to demonstrate against plan to potentially double number of Israeli settler housing units in flashpoint city.” Hebron is so important to this battle. Because Abraham is buried there, Satan is making it a flashpoint between Jews and Muslims. The fiction from the Muslims is that Abraham is a Muslim father not Jewish. It is the greatest example of replacement theology in the world. Satan has a special hatred of Israel and we know from the book of Revelation that he will try to destroy Israel in the future.

Trump ends Arab preoccupation with Judea and Samaria.
Three misleading words, “end the occupation” have poisoned the air for too long. There is no “occupation” – to prove that, just read article 80 of the UN Charter. “End the Occupation”. This mantra had become the Arabs’ rallying cry over the last 53 years as they sought to assert sovereignty over every square meter of this hotly-disputed territory that is part of the original international plan for the Jewish State. The provisions of Article 80 of the United Nations Charter reserve to the Jewish people the right to reconstitute the Jewish National Home in Judea and Samaria in accordance with the provisions laid down in article 6 of the League of Nations Mandate for Palestine
Security Council Resolutions 242 and 338 remain the only internationally accepted bases for resolving the conflict in former Palestine.
The United Nations failure to insist on these binding tenets of international law being universally acknowledged has proved to be a major stumbling block in resolving the Jewish-Arab conflict.

Bowing to extreme pressure from the Arab League and the Organization of the Islamic Conference – the United Nations has succumbed to a myriad of General Assembly resolutions that have buried these pillars of international law. The sooner they again become the foundations for peace – the sooner some sanity will return to the Middle East. It will never happen however because Satan has to continue the deception that the land does not belong to Jews.

The globalists are intent on making a one world government that eliminates national identities. The two nations standing in their way are Israel and America. This is just like in Rome in Jesus day. The Romans wanted everyone, regardless of where they were from, to worship Caesar. Today, the globalists want us to worship at the altar of their beliefs. Their beliefs include global climate change, open borders, eliminating national sovereignty, pro abortion, pro immorality, and no worship of the God of Israel and His Messiah Jesus. As the globalists keep losing ground they become more and more violent. This violence will lead to the Gog Magog war. Here is the reason, as Israel gains more land, riches, and power, the world gets more and more hateful. You will be seeing more and more attacks on Jews in the United States. The left cannot stand that Israel is gaining and others are decreasing. To stop them the nations in the prophecy of Ezekiel 38-39 will attack Israel. God will drag these nations to Israel to destroy them. Here is an example of how these nations are upset with Israel for getting richer and richer

Turkey Moves to Stop Israel From Building Undersea Gas Line to Europe DECEMBER 12, 2019, The Algemeiner. “Turkey is attempting to stop Israel from laying a natural gas pipeline to Europe, Turkey is claiming that the planned Israeli undersea pipeline infringes on an area claimed by Turkey under an economic agreement reached with Libya. Turkey has officially asked the UN to recognize the agreement with Libya as a first step toward preventing Israel from building its own pipeline.”
Make no mistake about it Russia and Turkey are bound and determined that Israel will never sell gas or oil to Europe. It cuts into Russia’s profit and Turkeys dominance of the Mediterranean Sea. Now think with me for a moment. Why is Turkey still in NATO? Turkey is an Islamic state that is working to destroy Israel, raise a million man army to kill every Jew in Israel, hates America, and is currently allied with Russia. NATO was formed to counteract the aggression of the Russian states when they were the Soviet Union, when Communism was marching to take over the world. As global communism collapsed in 1990, the evil empire never died. That form of communism died but evil continued on. All of the goals of the Soviet Union are still in play; evil does not go away. Russia’s antisemitism did not go away, Russia’s desire for dominance over her neighbors did not go away, Russia’s desire to be a world power has not gone away, and Russia is making a play for power. In the December edition of Commentary Magazine, Abe Greenwald makes the case that ‘the communists did not become more like us, we became more like them!’

His Article is called “The Failure at The End of History.” He said, “In the wake of the Berlin’s Wall destruction, Americans sought to ramp up economic and political engagement with post Soviet countries and China. We could gain access to new markets and by doing so, help to make these countries freer. The process meant the United States was growing more intertwined with kleptocracies. (a government with corrupt leaders (kleptocrats) that use their power to exploit the people and natural resources of their own territory in order to extend their personal wealth.)”
So the defeat of communism and the economic reforms that China was using to gain wealth did not yield more freedom, it set the stage for the greatest dictatorship ever: the antichrist!

Most of the countries that we have economic ties to are very different from one another but they all have one thing in common—they are corrupt, they do not have the Judeo Christian ethic. America has been trying to get rid of any Biblical morals for years and corruption is the result. The impeachment trial, the desire to kick Trump out of office, and the drive for a globalist mentality is all related to protecting corrupt people and governments. The World is heading to adopting a government like China! Fortunately for us in America, there is still some brave people who are standing up to the corruption. 64 million people who voted against corruption and desire good government.
Our hope as Christians is that God will fulfill His prophetic word. Our hope is not set on America turning around and being a godly country, our hope is that the gospel will be preached and the rapture will happen soon. Jesus said that when the gospel is preached to the whole world, then the end will come. Anticipating the future glory of Israel and the church is the heritage of all Christians. It is thrilling to live in this day when we can see prophecy come true. I will not be writing the next two weeks, have a Merry Christmas. Prophecy4i.wordpress.com

Prophecy Update: The Two Great Deceptions 12/5/19

The Lord is zeroing in on giving the land of Israel back to Israel. Benjamin Netanyahu met with President Trump (Monday) and brought up annexing Judea and Samaria. This is unprecedented because no president has ever agreed that this is a good thing to do. As God is working to give His land to His people, the world is rebelling against the Lord and His will. Do you remember the first time that God gave the land to His people? It was in Joshua 5 when Jesus showed up to let Joshua know that he was not alone. The Captain of the Hosts of the Lord stood before Joshua and told him that he was standing on holy ground. Joshua bowed and worshipped Jesus as the leader, who would go before him into the land to conquer the land. Yes, God would go before His people to fight for them. God sent the Ark of the Covenant before the people in the Jordan River. Likewise, God will deliver the land by going before them into Israel because it is His will. Why is this important at this time?

Jesus told us four times in Matthew 24 “see to it that no one misleads you” vs.4, 5, 11, and 24. Deception is so common today that it is hard to keep pace with all of the lies. The deception is part of the end times. Antichrist will come deceiving and Rev.13:14 says, “he deceives those who dwell on the earth because of the signs which it was given him to perform” so signs from antichrist are meant to deceive the people. Today we have two great deceptions; the nations say that the land of Israel belongs to Palestinians and global climate change. These two endtimes deceptions are meant to prepare the world to follow the devil and his man, the antichrist.

I am concerned with the deception of the nations about Israel. The nations are saying that the land of Israel is not owned by the Jews. Ezekiel 36 summarizes this deception when it says in vs.2, “Thus says the Lord, because the enemy says of you, Aha! The ancient heights have become our possession.” This is what we here everyday. It is Wednesday Dec. 4th and the United Nations made five more resolutions against Israel. They are obsessed with the lie—that they have to kick Israel out of the land. But then there is America. Did you know that since the beginning of the USA, we have always been there for the Jews. It is not that anti-Semites have not risen in our land, but by and large they have not ruled the day. Michael Medved wrote a great article about this, here is the title of his article: I will make of you a Great Nation, The intertwining of the Jews and the American Experiment begins at the beginning. Commentary Magazine Nov.2019. I am going to give you some of the great quotes to show that God has been using the USA to help Israel take her land.

The Puritans and the Pilgrims saw themselves as New Testament Hebrews. They loved the Old Testament and many of them pleaded the promise of Gen.12 over what they were doing coming to a new land. “With this formulation in mind, many of the radical Protestant doers and dreamers who ultimately planted a new civilization in North America embraced the notion that their cosmic purpose involved the protection of the children of Abraham—an idea they expressed in sermons and scholarly treatises long before any actual Jews turned up in their struggling New World outpost.”

For instance, in 1648, Sir Edward Nicholas wrote an influential pamphlet that blamed Englands present problems on “the strict and cruel laws now in force against the most honorable nation of the world, the nation of Israel, of the Jews the chosen people of God.” Rhode Island accepted 30 Israeli families in 1652 as Roger Williams advocated that Jews should be protected by this country. Many of the Puritans learned Hebrew and believed that God would soon reestablish the state of Israel. Ezra Stiles 1727-95 spent 20 years as pastor of a church in Newport Rhode Island and wrote a sermon at the end of the American Revolution: The United States Elevated to Glory and Honour: “the role of the nation is to recover and gather the children of Israel from all the nations and the words of Moses will be literally fulfilled when the posterity of Abraham shall be nationally collected and become a very distinguished and glorious people.” Many in America saw that our role would be to help Israel become a nation again and protect them.

George Washington wrote a letter to the Jews and said, “May the children of the stock of Abraham who dwell in this land continue to merit and enjoy the good will of the other inhabitants; while every one shall sit in safety under his own vine and fig tree, and there shall be none to make him afraid. May the Father of all mercies scatter light and not darkness in our paths, and make us all in our several vocations useful here, and in his own due time and way everlastingly happy.” This is common talk in that day. God did bless the United States and use us to be a shelter for the Jews.

John Adams, the second President of the United States, wrote to a Jewish man named Mordecai Manuel Noah. “I could find it in my heart to wish that you had been at the head of a hundred thousand Israelites indeed as well disciplined as a French Army, marching with them into Judea and making a conquest of that country and restoring your nation to the dominion of it—For I really wish the Jews again in Judea an independent Nation.” The year was 1819!! Can you imagine any American politician saying the same thing today. Wait—there is!!!

200 years later we have a President who supports Israel taking Judea and Samaria. Benjamin Netanyahu said that within 6 months, they will annex Judea. It is incredible what has happened over the last two years, but people do not see it. God is on the move and America has leadership that is supporting the Jews to take all of their land. That is a God thing if ever there was a God thing!!

God is moving the circumstances in countries so that the Jews will have to leave and go to Israel. Europe is very unsafe for Jews at this time. The articles are numerous about antisemitism spreading across Europe. Here is a new one, an article about the rise of Islam in Europe that has caused several nations to outlaw circumcision.
‘Circumcision ban will end Jewish communities in Europe’—As you can imagine, if you outlaw circumcision, Jews will leave. God wants Jews to go home to their ancient homeland as He prophesied in the prophets. Many Jews are at home in their European countries where several generations of Jews have lived. It is hard to uproot and go to Israel. Some nations have made it unsafe for Jews. The rise of violent Islam is the cause of some of the attacks on Jews in Europe. The Wall Street Journal had this article last week: ‘Anti-Semitism Soars in Eastern Europe’ The BBC had this to say: Anti-Semitism pervades European life, says EU report – BBC .. Conditions are ripening so that Jews will soon leave Europe.

Another development is the anger that has grown in nations over the announcement by the USA over settling Judea and Samaria. Jordan for instance is willing to go to war over it, here is the headline:
Jordan army simulates battle with Israel in military exercise. As Israel takes the land, annexes it and settles it, there is room for the Jews of Europe to come home. Jordan will lose her land on the east side of the Jordan river because it is prophesied. As Moses led them he gave three tribes land on the east side of the Jordan and those tribes still need to get their land back!
Isaiah 11:12, 14 describes this and it says: “He will raise a signal for the nations and will assemble the banished of Israel and gather the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth….But they shall swoop down on the shoulder of the Philistines in the west and together they shall plunder the people of the east. They shall put out their hand against Edom and Moab and the Ammonites shall obey them.” Is this not a fantastic prophecy and it so fits what is going to happen in our day. The Gaza strip will be taken back, parts of Jordan will fall to Israel, and the Jordanians will obey Israel! Here is another reason the Jordanians are mad:

Jewish Population in Hebron to Double following Defense Minister’s Authorization. “Defense Minister Naftali Bennett ordered the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) and the Civil Administration of Judea and Samaria to inform the Hebron municipality of a plan for a new Jewish neighborhood in the historic Jewish market on Sunday. The new neighborhood will establish a continuous neighborhood that will connect the Tomb of the Patriarchs to the Avraham Avinu neighborhood. The plan is also expected to double the number of Jewish residents in the ancient city.” It is satanic to keep Jews out of Hebron. Hebron, the capital of Israel before they moved it to Jerusalem and the United Nations says it is Muslim, not Jewish. The world has a plan for Israel, get rid of the Jews and destroy Israel. God has other plans.

An interesting article from Breaking Israel News said that the USA and Israel have signed a military pact. The article said: “If true, this military pact would be a landmark. Though the U.S. provides Israel with significant military aid and the two countries participate in joint military maneuvers, the two countries have never cooperated militarily and there is no known pact between the two countries in which they promise to actively support each other in a military engagement.” As the ties between our two countries get closer and military alliances grow, it is becoming more and more apparent that Trump and Netanyahu have become the bane of the lefts existence. This is why the left is so rabid on ousting Netanyahu and Trump. They cannot stand the support for Israel and the attack on globalism.

What is globalism? It is the desire of people to have a one world government. At the UN in September of this year, President Trump said, “the future does not belong to the globalists, the future belongs to the patriots.” This was a shot across the bow of those wishing that the sovereignty of all nations will be destroyed and a one world government will form to rule everyone. In September the ‘Global Citizens Festival’ was held to celebrate that people are global citizens and not citizens of any country. This event brought together leaders to take action to create change. What is the change? America’s withdrawal from the Paris accords was cited as a “sin against globalism and thus against humanity itself.” They held signs that said, ‘a person cannot be illegal’ and ‘there is no such thing as an illegal person.’ Breaking down national borders is the main goal of these people. That is the change that they want! No national borders means no countries and therefore we are all one. Can you say kumbaya and peace peace when there is not peace! The UN asserts the right for all people to have food, clothing, heath care, medical care, social services, unemployment, child care, and free education. They assert the right to have absolute authority over every man woman and child in the world and demand that America cede power to them. They propose a program called Agenda 21 to transfer power of the state to the UN, they say, “It is simply not feasible for sovereignty to be exercised unilaterally by individual nation states.”
This is why Trump is such a threat to them. Obama said in his last year in office, “Now is the time for all of us to take our share of responsibility for a global response to global challenges.” Hillary Clinton would have continued this nonsense that we are global citizens and that is one reason she lost the election. The American people do not want to be under a foreign dictator, whether that be the UN Secretary General or some other global figure. We are Americans, it is government of the people and by the people of the United States. Citizenship comes with a price, you need to earn it in America. Thank God for America!
One of the cofounders of the Global Citizens Festival is Hugh Evans. In 2016 he gave a speech titled, “What does it mean to be a citizen of the world.” He said they are people who, “identify first and foremost not as a member of a state, a tribe, a nation, but as a member of the human race.” This is an attack on Jesus and every godly person in the world. God says in Revelation 7:9 “After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could count, from every nation and all tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, and palm branches were in their hands”

It is a testimony to the greatness of our God, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob that He created nations and languages for our good. He is the God of the nations and Jesus will rule the nations with a rod of iron one day. He is the Messiah who is Jewish, who is coming back to set up shop and rule from Jerusalem! Every nation, tribe, and tongue will come to Israel because salvation is of the Jews. They will bring the wealth of the nations to Israel and Israel will be the head not the tail. Revelation 13 tells us that the beast is going to rise. It has ten horns and seven heads with ten diadems and blasphemous names on its heads. So we know that the one world government of Satan is coming, but low his doom is sure. Israel will rise and all of the godly and saved will come and conquer Satan and his lackeys the antichrist and the false prophet. In that day we are told in Isaiah 2:2-3, “Now it will come about that In the last days The mountain of the house of the LORD Will be established as the chief of the mountains, And will be raised above the hills; And all the nations will stream to it. 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.” It is a thrilling time to be alive, you can find my blog at prophecy4i.wordpress.com Maranatha

Prophecy Update: Four Blood Moons and beyond!

This update is going to focus on how God is giving His land back to His people Israel. Specifically, God is giving Judea-Samaria, the Biblical heartland, back to Israel as I am writing this. There is a problem though that we have to deal with first.
The problem is the people in Israel who do not want to possess the land that God is giving them. They are from the left, I will call them the ten spies. They are like the ten spies in Numbers 13-14 who said, we cannot take the land because there are giants in the land. The giants are the international community and the opinion that Israel is an oppressor, evil, etc. These leaders capitulate to the international opinion and their enemies in militant Islam. The people who are like Joshua and Caleb are people who are taking the land. In the settlements, God has raised up ordinary people who move in, set up shop, and tell the world that it is their land because God gave it to them. Benjamin Netanyahu is one of them, protecting the settlements and declaring them sovereign Israeli territory. He promised to annex them if elected. I will call the people who want to divide the land ‘the ten’ and the people who want to obey God and take the land ‘the two.’

First, I would like to look at Ezekiel 38, here God introduces us to the Gog Magog war. The conditions for the war are being fulfilled right now as Russia, Turkey, and Iran are in Syria on the border of Israel. God says some important things about the land of Israel in the prophecy. For instance, vs.8 says, “After many days you 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.” Notice that God restored Israel to her land, the mountains of Israel. That is a very important point: the mountains of Israel are Judea and Samaria.
God also says in vs. 16 “and you will come up against My people Israel like a cloud to cover the land. It shall come about in the last days that I will bring you against My land, so that the nations may know Me when I am sanctified through you before their eyes, O Gog.” God has to show His people that He is at work and that He is defending the land of Israel. ‘The ten’ never defend the land, they keep dividing the land. After the Six Day war, after God gave Judea-Samaria back to His people and brought them to stand on the Temple Mount, what did they do? They had the Israeli flag flying on the Dome of the Rock and General Moshe Dayan said take it down. They gave the Temple Mount back to their enemies. Big mistake for which they are paying even to this day. They gave the Sinai Peninsula back to Egypt, gave Gaza back to Hamas, these are mistakes and driven by ‘the ten’ in Israel. After the Six Day war, believers in what God is doing, giving His land back to His people, they began settling Judea and Samaria. The world had a very negative reaction.

To understand the way the world is handling Israel getting her land back, I want to go back to the Four Blood Moons and show you what happened during those years. God has been giving important and great signs to the world regarding the birth pangs of the end times. It starts speeding up in 2014 when the first Blood moons appeared. Let me remind you of the importance of the Blood Moons, they are called a tetrad. When four blood moons happen on the feast days, Passover and Feast of Tabernacles, for two years, they signal something important happening for Israel. A Tetrad happened in 1493-94 when Spain instituted the Edict of Expulsion. This Edict banned all Jews from Spain. Notice the date: God sent Christopher Columbus across the Atlantic to find North America where God would raise up a nation that would stand with Israel and be a place that they could go to and be safe in the future. Spain was judged for what they did!
A Tetrad happened again in 1949-50 following the birth of the state of Israel. God was signaling to His people that it was time to go home and settle the land of Israel. God began bringing His people home and that has been happening since that time. Also, God gave them a miraculous victory in their first war in 1949!
A Tetrad happened in 1967-68 when the Six Day war happened. God gave Israel her capitol city Jerusalem and all of Judea Samaria. What did Israel do? They blew it because of ‘the ten.’ They gave it back to the Muslims! It is heartbreaking to disobey the Lord. It was a miraculous victory to win the Six Day war and God did not get the glory or the credit for the victory. The battle was on between ‘the ten’ and ‘the two.’
A Tetrad happened in 2014-15 and God set up the Gog Magog war in that time. God also began dealing with the ten in some specific ways which we will talk about Sunday night. ‘The ten’ were running the show in America as the US administration under Pres. Obama was cursing Israel with the view that Israel needed to give up all of her land in Judea and Samaria, give up Jerusalem, and move back to the 1967 lines. I call those lines the holocaust lines. America also gave everything to Iran that they wanted. This conflict ramped up in very specific ways. Benjamin Netanyahu came to America on March 3rd 2015 to speak to the congress about the horrible deal being made with Iran. We will listen to some of that speech Sunday night; God was warning the world to do the right thing, very few were listening. The USA did two things to advance the Gog Magog prophecy. They abandoned Syria and actually supported Russia moving into Syria with troops right up to the borders of Israel. Second, we signed a deal with Iran that was the worse deal of the century. We gave Iran 150 billion dollars so that they could accomplish preparing for the Gog Magog war. Another event that demonstrates the truth of Gen.12, if you curse Israel you will be cursed, happened in 2015.

President Obama, Hillary Clinton, and the Democratic Party broke the law by sending 350,000 dollars of American money to a group called One Voice in Israel. This group used American taxpayer money to try to defeat Prime Minister Netanyahu in the election of 2015 in Israel. The ten was hard at work to destroy the Prime Minister because he believes that they need to take all of the land in Israel for Israel. The battle is on!

In 2016 God was raising up Donald Trump to win the election to curse Hillary Clinton. The Clintons have always been opposed to Benjamin Netanyahu and also colluded against him in the 1990’s. This is a clear and demonstrable occurrence of ‘the ten’ against ‘the two!’ Donald Trump said that Jerusalem is the eternal, undivided, capital of Israel and that he planned on moving the embassy to Jerusalem to declare it to the world. When he won the election, this was the main reason he won, God was raising up someone who would do what no other president had the guts to do. In Dec. 2017 President Trump declared that he was moving the embassy and refused to sign the National Security waiver that would keep him from moving the embassy. The date was important because it was exactly 70 years from the UN declaration in 1947 to reestablish the State of Israel. Then on May 14th 2018 the USA moved the embassy, exactly 70 years after Israel declared that they were the State of Israel in 1948.

God sent two other signs in 2017. He sent the Revelation 12 sign on Sept.23, 2017 and it was nine months after Pres. Obama cursed Israel with UN resolution 2334 in Dec.2016. Obama did this against the will of newly elected Pres. Trump, but it was the last chance that Obama had to curse Israel. Nine months later the Rev.12 sign happened. This was to signal to Israel that the rise of the New World Order, the rise of antichrist is coming. Right before this sign was the Great America Solar Eclipse. This occurred on Aug.21, 2017 and the eclipse started in Washington state and crossed the USA over three of the most active earthquake zones in the USA. Those zones are the Cascadia, Yellowstone, and New Madrid faults. Seven years later, a Solar eclipse will happen on April 8, 2024 and will start in Vermont and go southeast right over the New Madrid fault and make an X over the USA. The center of the X will be where the Mississippi river and the Ohio river meet. This is a warning to America to repent.

All of these signs are about one thing primarily which all of the prophets point to. As God is giving His land back to His people, everyone will be against it, even His own people. That includes Jews and many who claim the name of Jesus. It is the greatest sign of the end times. All of the talk about the rapture in relation to the sign since 2014 are missing the point. The rapture can happen anytime, there are no signs for the rapture of the church, the signs are a message to Israel first and then the nations to repent and do what God wants.

On Sunday night we will explore all of these issues and learn how important these signs are to the nations of Israel and America. The USA is in grave danger. ‘The ten’ have been rebelling against all that God is doing today, they want antichrist so bad they can taste it. This conflict will only get hotter as the days to the next election get closer! The two and their supporters are helping Israel get all of her land back. I hope all of you had a great Thanksgiving yesterday, there is much to thank the Lord for. Looking forward to celebrating all God is doing with you Sunday night, Dec.1st. See you then.

Prophecy Update: Israel getting Her Land! 11/21/2019

Jeremiah 30:3, “For behold, days are coming declares the LORD, when I will restore the fortunes of My people Israel and Judah. The LORD says, I will also bring them back to the land that I gave to their forefathers and they shall possess it.”
Monday, November 18th was a day that will go down in the annals of history as one of the most important dates ever. I have been saying for years that God will give all of the West Bank to Israel. The Palestinians, Arabs, Jordanians have no legal status in those lands because they are Gods land. God has given the land to Jews. Period.
Netanyahu approves Jordan Valley annexation bill after U.S. changes policy.
The United States declared (Monday) that Israeli settlements on the West Bank are “not inconsistent with” international law, despite decisions by world bodies like the International Court of Justice. This is a huge boost to Netanyahu and his bid to retain the Prime Ministers office. Many in the country will see it as an American endorsement for Israel to give their land back to Jews. Praise God this is happening because God promised this in the Word!

US angers Palestinians with reversal on Israeli settlements
“The Trump administration on Monday said it no longer considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank to be a violation of international law, reversing four decades of American policy and further undermining the Palestinians’ effort to gain statehood. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced that the U.S. is repudiating the 1978 State Department legal opinion that held that civilian settlements in the occupied territories are “inconsistent with international law.” Israeli leaders welcomed the decision while Palestinians and other nations warned that it undercut any chance of a broader peace deal.” Think about this with me, it was in the Carter Administration that the State Department made this evil law.

Consider this article from 2016 on President Carters attitude towards Israel:
Jimmy Carter’s Animus for Israel
Few American leaders have had a more broken moral compass. By Rabbi Shmuley Boteach • 11/29/16 10:55am “In 2006 the former President said that Israel’s policies in the West Bank were actually worse than apartheid South Africa. But while Israel, the apartheid state, cannot be trusted, Carter told The Today Show that the party that can be trusted is Hamas.”
Sept,1978 the Camp David accords were signed by Egypt and Israel because President Jimmy Carter negotiated a peace deal which divided the land of Israel. The Accords gave the Sinai Peninsula back to Egypt—big mistake. The Sinai Peninsula is sovereign Israeli land and needs to go back to Israel. God judged America with Iran the next year (our embassy overrun) and God threw Jimmy Carter out of office.
President George Bush in 1991 at the Madrid Conference threw Israel under the bus. Bush demanded that Israel stop any building in Judea and Samaria and any claim to Jerusalem. Bush froze any funds to help Israel! God punished George Bush when he sent a hurricane over his house in Maine.

President Bill Clinton hates Netanyahu and worked against him in the 90’s and today. Pres. Clinton proposed that Israel give up 96% of Judea and Samaria, half of Jerusalem, and all of the Gaza Strip to the Palestinians. Ehud Barak gave in to all of it and Yassir Arafat rejected the deal—thank God. God judged Clinton with impeachment over the Monica Lewinski affair.

President George Bush, on September 11, 2001 God removed His hedge around America. Bush continued the policies of his dad and Bill Clinton towards Israel. Several days prior to September 11, 2001, violent terrorists rocked Israel. Arafat was leading the intifada—killing Jews in the cities by sending suicide bombers. During this time the American administration forbid and threatened Israel with financial bribery if they retaliated. Then Bush forced Israel into giving up the Gaza Strip in 2005. More land that God gave to Israel in the book of Joshua. Gaza is mentioned in Joshua 15:47 as territory for the tribe of Judah: “Ashdod, its towns and its villages; Gaza, its towns and its villages; as far as the brook of Egypt and the Great Sea, even its coastline.” 2005 August – Under U.S. pressure, the Jews are forceably removed from their land, 8500 begging Jewish settlers were forcibly removed from the Gaza Strip. US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice told BBC News, “Jewish homes in the Gaza Strip will be destroyed when Israel pulls out its troops and settlers. . . The view is that there are better land uses for the Palestinians to better address their housing needs,” adding that the parties would “work towards a plan for destruction and clean-up.” Israel completed the evacuation of the Gaza Strip and gave it to the Palestinians on August 23rd. The Gaza Strip evacuation came directly from President Bush’s “Roadmap to Peace.” It was the same day that a tropical storm formed next to Florida called Katrina! America found no mercy for the Jewish people so God judged America, Katrina completely “bulldozed” tens of thousands of homes. Katrina completely “evacuated” the celebrated city of New Orleans. Hundreds of thousands are homeless, helpless and hopeless. The greatest displacement of U.S. citizens in history occurred. As you curse Israel so you will be cursed!

President Obama, where do I start. I will only mention one thing from Obama cursing Israel—United Nations Security Council Resolution 2334 was adopted on 23 December 2016. It concerns the Israeli settlements in “Palestinian territories occupied since 1967, including East Jerusalem”. Obama pushed Israel to give up all of her land including Jerusalem when Trump asked him not to do this. Trump has since overturned most of Obama’s decisions while in office!

There are 1,845 references in the Old Testament to Messiahs rule on earth from the city of Jerusalem and the nation of Israel. God is even now fulfilling His Word! As God does this, here is the attitude of the world to what Trump did:
“The change reflects the administration’s embrace of a hard-line Israeli view at the expense of the Palestinian quest for statehood. Similar actions have included President Donald Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, the movement of the U.S. Embassy to that city and the closure of the Palestinian diplomatic office in Washington.” Lets not forget the declaration by Trump that the Golan Heights is also sovereign Israeli territory!

The Trump Administration is advocating for a one state solution because he just cut off the territory that Palestinians want for a future state. This decision goes back to the Reagan Administration’s stance on Israel.

The European Union warned of the potential repercussions in a statement following the announcement that did not mention the U.S.
“All settlement activity is illegal under international law and it erodes the viability of the two-state solution and the prospects for a lasting peace,” said the statement from the 28-nation bloc. “The EU calls on Israel to end all settlement activity, in line with its obligations as an occupying power.” The European Union and the United Nations have long held that all Israeli settlement activity is illegal. They have included in this all Israeli activity over the pre-1967 lines.

Also on Monday there was this headline from the UN:
154 Nations Reject Israel’s Biblical Connection to Temple Mount.
The United Nations gave preliminary approval for a resolution that calls the Temple Mount by its Muslim name exclusively: The resolution passed at the UN’s Fourth Committee in New York City in an overwhelming turn-out of 154-8. The vote featured 14 abstentions as well as 17 absences. It was one of eight Anti-Israel resolutions approved last week. An expected 15 more anti-Israel resolutions are anticipating approval as well. The UN General Assembly will commence its final vote on the resolution next month.

Caroline Glick had this to say about it:
“U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s statement Monday that Israeli settlements are not illegal per se is the most significant shift in U.S. Middle East policy in the past generation. Jerusalem’s status as Israel’s capital has been a matter of U.S. law since 1996. There was little interest in Washington in recent years in pressuring Israel to withdraw from the Golan Heights. But the issue of the legality of Israeli settlements has been the defining issue of much of the international discourse on Israel for a generation. Israel’s own Foreign Ministry should take a lesson from the Trump administration. After a bitter, two year bureaucratic and political fight, in 2017 Israel’s embassies worldwide published a paper that explained the legal validity of Israel’s settlements in Judea and Samaria. But unlike the Trump administration, the Israeli government has still not stated outright that international law is irrelevant to the cause of peace between Israel and the Palestinians.”

Israel is going to annex Judea and Samaria and God will fulfill His word to His people to give them the land. It is not all of the land yet, but it is a start. The anger and hatred from most nations towards Trump and Netanyahu over this is staggering. Reading the comments from leaders in the EU, the Democratic contenders for President, and the UN, you would have thought that Trump and Netanyahu were Hitler, Stalin, and Genghis Khan all wrapped up into one person. This is leading to war, a war that Israel will win because that is what has to happen before the Tribulation period. During the Tribulation, antichrist will continue the assault on Israel as we see today. Praise God that we live in a day that God is fulfilling His word, this is a special time!! If the politicians who are for a two state solution get control, you can bet that there will be ten more Katrina’s. God is fed up with the antisemitism, don’t you feel it? Ponder Is.62:4, It will no longer be said to you, “Forsaken,”Nor to your land will it any longer be said, “Desolate”;
But you will be called, “My delight is in her,”And your land, “Married”;
For the LORD delights in you,And to Him your land will be married.

Prophecy Update: War that is Good! 11/15/19

It has been a wild week. War in Israel again from the Gaza Strip, war in the congress as the Democrats try to oust President Trump, and war spiritually across our nation. The United States is in an all out spiritual war against the forces of evil. The press, Hollywood, and most media outlets are all in with Satan’s view of life, morals, ethics, and perversions. The Bible tells us that war is good when it is war for the sake of God and His truth. 2 Cor. 10:3-5 says, “For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh, for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ.”

Notice that in our passage, war is sought out by Christians because the ground of war is what we hear and what we are taught. Our world teaches us that evil is good, sin is righteous, and Christianity without the Bible and Christ is better than Christianity with the Bible and Christ. Destroying what is being raised up against the knowledge of God is the responsibility of every Christian. This week we have been attacked from many angles, are you fighting according to 2Cor.10:3-5?

What about your view of Israel? Is Israel the chosen nation by God to lead us into the end times? Is Israel still a nation before the God of the Christians? Is Israel the nation God has chosen to bless the world? Do you believe that if you bless Israel you will be blessed and if you curse Israel you will be cursed? All of these questions are being answered by the press negatively each day.

Here is the answer of the people who live in the Gaza Strip:
Islamic Jihad declares ‘We’re going to war,’ after IDF kills its strongman.
Israel is at war with the people of the Gaza Strip because the people who live there have declared their allegiance to the view that Israel must be destroyed. They sing, “from the river to the sea, Palestine must be free.” This is the latest dust up but Israel has responded:

IDF chief: Ready for Gaza escalation after Jihad commander hit, will resume targeted killings if need be. Israel has fought back and that offends the world. The world pushes the view that the Palestinians are so weak and cannot stand up to the big bad bully Israel. They never tell you that the anti-Semites in Gaza shot 200 missiles into Israel! I pray Israel does not stop fighting until they destroy Hamas and Islamic Jihad groups. Unfortunately, they will stop from pressure from the UN and the world until they sign a cease fire. The news this morning (Thursday 11/4)

IDF: Islamic Jihad is regrouping after severe blows:
“The military warns terror group using rocket fire in tactical manner, firing rockets sparingly in order to extend its capabilities, says longer-range missiles expected to be used as well; spokesperson says Israel chose ‘elimination’ over ‘education’ for Abu al-Ata” As you can see, the Islamic Jihad is serious about destroying Israel and Israel is serious about fighting back. This can lead to more war and it will because the root problem in the Middle East is that the Muslim countries do not want Israel to exist. Period!! Meanwhile the President of Syria has weighed in with his anti-Semitic declaration:

Assad: ‘Israel has conquered our land’
“Bashar al-Assad says more than 100,000 Syrian troops killed in civil war, blasts Israel for ‘conquering’ Syrian land.” As you know, southern Syria and northern Israel is where the Gog Magog battle will be fought. It is this land, the Golan Heights, that is in dispute. The UN and most of the nations of the world say that Israel is illegally occupying the Golan Heights. The USA and Israel say that the Golan Heights are legally sovereign Israeli land. This is spiritual warfare for the 21st century. There are 12 tribes of Israel and eight of those tribes do not have all of their land back. Three tribes have none of their land. That tells me that God is still going to cause Israel to gain more land then they currently have. This is the ongoing war of Psalm 83 and Ezekiel 36-37. When that happens, and it will happen soon, the world will flip a lid. AntiChrist will come on the heels of this prophetic fulfillment.

Islamic Jihad in Gaza: Backed by Iran, challenge to Hamas
Analysis: Killing of terror group’s military mastermind unleashes another round of escalation in violence in the Strip, but how far can the group, which has become a driving force in rocket fire and confrontations with Israel, really go? Israeli officials described el-Atta as the mastermind of recent attacks against Israel and the militant group’s top commander in Gaza. Islamic Jihad is the smaller of the two main Palestinian militant groups in the Gaza Strip, and is vastly outnumbered by the ruling Hamas group, but it enjoys direct Iranian backing, both financially and militarily, and has become the driving force in rocket fire and confrontations with Israel. The group was founded in 1981 with the aim of establishing an Islamic Palestinian state in the West Bank, Gaza and all of what is now Israel. It is designated a terrorist organization by the U.S. State Department, European Union and other governments. Though the militant group’s base is Gaza, its leadership is also based in Beirut and Damascus, where it maintains close ties with Iranian officials. Since seizing power in 2007, Hamas has fought three wars with Israel, often with support from Islamic Jihad fighters. “If Hamas will try to retaliate against the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Hamas immediately will be accused that they are harming the national struggle against Israel,” Michael said. Rocket Attacks Shatter Israel’s Dawn; Islamic Jihad Admits Iran Calling the Shots.

Here is where the story takes a turn into the Gog Magog prophecy. Because the international press does not want Israel in the land, they always take the side of the Jihadists, Palestinians, and the Iranians. Iran gets a free pass by the EU and the international press. You will never see an article blaming Iran, it will only blame Israel. When the GOG Magog war starts, Israel will be blamed. I saw this first hand in Israel (2014) as CNN constantly lied about what was happening in Israel. A tangential story is the attempt to oust Benjamin Netanyahu from office. He is still Prime Minister and he still has a shot at winning the election. This infuriates the left. They are trying to oust Netanyahu as the left is trying to oust President Trump.

The battle to oust President Trump is primarily part of spiritual warfare. The reason is that the whole impeachment fiasco is based on lies, deception, and hatred. All of which are Satan’s way of doing things. The Left has devoted themselves to removing Trump and Netanyahu. Here is an interesting article from Israel which is related to the Lefts goals.

Jordan Isn’t Palestine, Its Part of Eretz Yisrael.
God has not given all of the land of Israel back to Israel and that is the next most important prophetical event to happen. Satan is doing everything he can to destroy Israel. The rise of antisemitism in Europe again is testimony to the fact that God has lifted His protection from Europe. They are primed to get the antichrist as a leader because the antichrist is the most anti-Semitic person in history. He will make Hitler look like a choir boy. By the way, Hitler’s book, “Mein Kampf” is a best seller in Europe. Here is what the article says:
“Some misguided Jews on the political right, have promoted for the last forty years, the idea that, “Jordan is Palestine.” Jordan isn’t Palestine, its part of the promised Land of Israel. And, peace with Arab states that occupy parts of the Jewish people’s inheritance, is a lie from the start.” Jordan wants the Jews dead and buried so that they can have all of the land. They characterize Psalm 83 perfectly, “Come let us wipe them out as a nation that the name of Israel will be remembered no more.”
Jordan is filled with people who want to kill Jews. There is no peace, just the absence of war. Here is a quote from Jordanian TV:
Jordanian TV Host – ‘We Want to Gouge Out the Eyes of the Zionists’
I have for several years been following the speeches by Jordanian and Egyptian politicians, they consistently speak of their desire to destroy Israel. Eventually, war is coming because Satan wants it, God predicted it, and the world prepares for it.

Its Friday morning and I am reading the news articles about the so called cease fire I told you about. The Cease-fire started and lasted 4 hours, the Islamic Jihad does not want a cease-fire, they want war. Here is the article that summed this up:
Right Before “CeaseFire”, Israel Offs Another Terrorist Mastermind, CeaseFire Broken 4 Hours Later.
As you can see, Israel is not playing around. Unfortunately, killing the terroist leaders is not enough, they need to fight all the way. Taking their land back and kicking the squatters off the land is the only way forward. If Israel will not do it, God will and the Lord will get the glory for fulfilling His word.
“Since Baha Abu al-Atta’s assassination on Tuesday morning, Israel killed 32 terrorists, with the majority of them being members of the Islamic Jihad. Approximately 100 have been wounded. 360 rockets have fallen onto Israeli soil.”

Israelis in south brace for more rockets as barrages continue despite Gaza ceasefire: It is an intolerable condition in southern Israel. This can only lead to more war and the citizens of Israel are crying out for protection. Does God hear their cry? Yes, He does just like He did when they were in Egypt. God will come to the aid of Israel, are you praying for it. I want Gods will to be done and that means that Israel needs to secure all of her land. How will it be done?
I continue to ask the Lord to show me His will about His prophecies concerning the land. The constant answer is that Israel will secure all of her land through war not peace deals. All of the peace deals so far have yielded more war and conditions for more war. It is that way today. Peace deals are useless because they are with a people dedicated to Satan’s hatred of all things Israel. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem today!

Prophecy Update: Gog Magog and Nuclear power? 11/8/19

Following the ramp up to the Gog Magog War is an adventure. Part of the adventure has been the multiplication of events. They seem to be piling up one upon the other. In the 1970’s and 80’s the information and events were slow. I remember waiting each week for the Zola Levitt show to get crumbs. The years between 1970 and 2000 were crumbs and then—things began to speed up. Russia began to make inroads in their relationship with Iran that up to that point were unforeseen. Unforeseen that is if you did not know prophecy. All of us who know prophecy were waiting for some proof that Russia and Iran would become allies. That relationship came to be built on nuclear power.

The Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant began construction in 1975 but was stopped by the Ayatollah in 1979 when he gained control of the country. At that point, there seemed to be no hope of a relationship between Russia and Iran. “Then a contract for finishing the plant was signed between Iran and the Russian Ministry for Atomic Energy in 1995, with Russia’s Atomstroyexport named as the main contractor. The work was delayed several years by technical and financial challenges as well as by political pressure from the West. After construction was again in danger of being stopped in 2007, a renewed agreement was reached in which the Iranians promised to compensate for rising costs and inflation after completion of the plant. Delivery of nuclear fuel started the same year.” This is very important because the relationship between Iran and Russia was now financial, political, and militarily.

Since 2007 Iran has had the ability to produce the important elements to putting a nuclear bomb together. This nation is fixated on destroying Israel. “In August 2013, the head of Russian nuclear regulator Rosatom said that the state company would soon sign documents transferring operational control of the Bushehr nuclear power plant to Iran, and on 23 September 2013, operational control was transferred. In November 2014 Iran and Russia signed an agreement to build two new nuclear reactors at the Bushehr site, with an option of six more at other sites later. Construction formally started on 14 March 2017.” Remember that Russia and Iran entered Syria to support the Assad regime in 2015. Fast forward to today:

Russia’s Nuclear Power Exports Are Booming May 9, 2019 Moscow Times:
“Rosatom has been using nuclear power plants as a way of cementing ties with its fellow emerging markets. Russia’s state-owned agency Rosatom is on a tear. The company operates 35 nuclear power stations in Russia that produce 28 gigawatts (GW) of power, and it is actively exporting its nuclear technology to countries around the world. In recent years Rosatom has completed the construction of six nuclear power reactors in India, Iran and China and it has another nine reactors under construction in Turkey, Belarus, India, Bangladesh and China. Part of Rosatom’s appeal is not only Russia’s lower prices and state-of-the-art technology, but the fact that company usually provides most of the financing for the typically $10 billion price tag. Last year the Russian firm said it had an order book worth $134 billion and contracts to build 22 nuclear reactors in nine countries over the next decade, including Belarus, Bangladesh, China, India, Turkey, Finland, Hungary, Egypt and Iran. The size of the order book puts nuclear power station exports on a par with Russia’s booming arms export business.” This is how Russia is engaged with Iran, it is building a second nuclear power plant in Bushehr and will be done by next year. What about Fordow?

Fordow is a secret nuclear plant made by the Iranians and used to hide their building of a nuclear bomb. Fordow was built originally to make weapon- grade uranium for 1-2 nuclear weapons per year.(info stolen by Israelis in 2018 revealed this to the world) It was found out in 2009 and since then Iran has lied about the plant. No one is allowed in this plant. Here is a report this week about Fordow:
Iran starts injecting uranium gas into centrifuges, further unraveling nuclear accord: Kim Hjelmgaard USA TODAY. This has been reported in many news outlets.
“President Hassan Rouhani announced Tuesday that Iran will start injecting uranium gas into centrifuges, further unraveling a nuclear deal with world powers and effectively advancing the country’s ability to make a nuclear bomb. The centrifuges previously spun empty under the terms of the 2015 nuclear agreement that President Donald Trump withdrew from more than a year ago. Rouhani unveiled the move during live remarks on Iranian state TV. He said Iran would inject uranium gas into 1,044 centrifuges at its Fordow nuclear facility. While the development is significant because it enables Iran to more quickly enrich uranium to the higher levels needed to produce a nuclear weapon.” Iran has not stopped its desire or work to make a nuke and nuke Israel. Here is what was reported this summer by Frank Gaffney:

Shut Down Iran’s Covert Nuclear Bunker by Frank Gaffney
July 12, 2019 Secure Freedom Minute
“Instead of shutting down a hardened underground facility associated with its nuclear weapons ambitions, the mullahocracy has relentlessly continued work there. Since the bunker at Fordow is off-limits to our spies and international inspectors, we can only speculate as to what that work entails. My bet is there’s a full-scale nuclear bomb-building operation hidden there.” This is the pressure being put on Israel currently and it is happening at the same time that God is working to give all of Israel’s land back to Israel. The simultaneous timing of these two events is from the sovereign God. By the way, Russia is helping all of the nuclear progress of Fordow!

Likud MK pushes PM on West Bank annexation:
“Sharren Heskel’s bill, if implemented, would bring the Jordan Valley territory under full Israeli sovereignty, permit Palestinians living in area to apply for Israeli citizenship within decade, provided they meet certain criteria.” This is an ongoing story that is happening at the same time that Israel is without a government. As Israel strives to get a government, people are pushing for annexing Judea and Samaria. This the Bible says will happen. Bible prophecy is coming to pass in our time. Israel needs to do this to have a security buffer. Consider that Israel is only 9 miles wide between Tel Aviv and the West Bank. The enemies of Israel want to crush Israel and so it is in their interest to keep Israel from gaining complete sovereignty over Judea Samaria.

Here is the problem for Israel. Lebanon is only 80 miles from Jerusalem and there rockets can hit Jerusalem. The Syrian B-302 and Zelzal-2 rockets have been upgraded and made smart bombs by Iran. Hezbollah boasted this week that they can reign down missiles on Tel Aviv for six straight months. This is part of Iran’s strategy. Israel has the need to eliminate the threat from Lebanon which became even more urgent this week when Lebanons government collapsed. Tel Aviv is only 70 miles from Lebanon and within striking distance. Gaza is even closer, Jerusalem and Tel Aviv are 40 miles from the rockets of Hamas. From the north and south, the missiles of Israel’s enemies are so close; it is in the interest of Israel to have a buffer zone to the east. If the enemies of Israel can place their missiles in Ramallah, that is only 15 miles from Jerusalem.

Iran has ballistic missiles that can carry a nuclear or chemical warhead a distance of 1500 miles. That is far enough to hit into southern Europe and they are getting better missiles coming online as I write this. This is a threat to Europe and Israel. This week here are the headlines:

Palestinian Islamic Jihad Agitates for Violence in the Gaza Strip Nov.6
Iranian attack on Israel is just a matter of time’ Nov.7
The Coming Middle East Conflagration Nov.7
“Israel is bracing itself for war with Iranian proxies, as Tehran escalates its provocations. But what will the United States do if conflict comes? The senior ministers of the Israeli government met twice last week to discuss the possibility of open war with Iran. They were mindful of the Iranian plan for a drone attack from Syria in August, aborted at the last minute by an Israeli air strike, as well as Iran’s need to deflect attention from the mass protests against Hezbollah’s rule in Lebanon. The ministers also reviewed the recent attack by Iranian drones and cruise missiles on two Saudi oil installations, reportedly concluding that a similar assault could be mounted against Israel from Iraq.”
Here is the problem for Israel: no one responded with force to the aggressive behavior of Iran. Iran has been emboldened by the passivity of Europe, Israel, Saudi Arabia, and the USA.

I have been asking where is Putin the last few months? He is waiting in the wings and working behind the scenes to curse Israel. One way Israel can really upset Russia is to attack the nuclear power plants in Iran. Destroy those power plants and Russia and Israel will be in direct conflict. If Israel fights Iran by concentrating only on Gaza, Syria, and Lebanon, she cannot eliminate the threat Iran poses to her! Consider this scenario: Iran is working now through proxies to increase chaos in Israel. Increased attacks in the West Bank, Gaza, and on the Lebanese border would keep the IDF preoccupied. Iran has been increasing its military footprint in Syria and Lebanon as we speak. As the Iranian military grows in Syria and Lebanon, the IDF can be bogged down by greater attacks from Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, ISIS, and Fatah. This is what Iran is doing presently, soon we will see these attacks increased. The Bible teaches us that the upcoming war comes from the north and that is where the armies are. Turkey, Russia, and Iran are there and Russia will soon be the power that pushes them into war with Israel. What may cause that war—could it be an attack on nuclear power plants in Iran? The hook in the jaw could be very broad including energy supplies of gas, oil, and nuclear power. Maybe the specific hook could be an attack on Iran? Just a thought. Watch and pray with me this week.

Prophecy Update: Ezekiel 38-39 Update Oct.31, 2019

In 2014-2015 God gave us the four blood moons. The question during that time was, ‘what does this mean’? God moved the ball forward on the Gog/Magog prophesy. He did this by moving Russia down into Syria, and causing Iran to get rich through the 150 billion dollar gift from President Obama. This has never happened before in history. Ezekiel 38-39 describes a time when Russia, Turkey, and Iran will attack Israel from the north. They will be joined by many nations and we are seeing the coalition of nations coming together like never before. The nations are also making the case that Israel should not have their land. This is what Ezekiel 36-37 teaches.

Ezekiel 36:2 says, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD, “Because the enemy has spoken against you, ‘Aha!’ and, ‘The everlasting heights have become our possession,’

The nations have been in an all-out full press against Israel to force Israel to give up its land. Since the USA is the greatest supporter of Israel, the nations attack the US also. Russia has built bases for its armed forces and Iran has taken up residence in Syria to prepare for the battle. The nations are fulfilling what God said in Ezekiel 36 by saying Israel does not have a right to the land. Consider these verses:

36:5, therefore thus says the Lord GOD, “Surely in the fire of My jealousy I have spoken against the rest of the nations, and against all Edom, who appropriated My land for themselves as a possession with wholehearted joy and with scorn of soul, to drive it out for a prey.”
36:15, “I will not let you hear insults from the nations anymore, nor will you bear disgrace from the peoples any longer, nor will you cause your nation to stumble any longer,” declares the Lord GOD.’”

With Turkey, Russia, and Iran in Syria and the nations of the UN standing against Israel’s right to the land, these conditions are preparing the ground for this battle. In this update I want to explore some recent headlines that shed light on how God is putting the hook in the jaw of these nations to come and attack Israel so that God will get glory in His victory over them.

First up is this article about Lebanon. The government of Lebanon has fallen completely into the hands of the Iranian proxy, Hezbollah. This had to happen so that the northern border of Israel is now under all of the enemies of Israel without any rival. Here is the article:

After PM Hariri Resigned, Hezbollah Now the “Strongest Party in Lebanon” (The scripture says: “You who dwell in Lebanon, Nestled among the cedars, How much grace will you have When pains come upon you, Travail as in childbirth!” (Jeremiah 22:23.) Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri announced his resignation on Tuesday afternoon and that he is submitting his resignation to the president of Lebanon, Michel Aoun on the backdrop of anti-government protests across the country. Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah said in a speech on Friday that “Hezbollah is the strongest party in Lebanon” With Hariri out of the way, Hezbollah wasted no time sending their agents to attack the protesters.

The Mask is Off: Lebanon is Hezbollah. “Lebanon belongs to Hezbollah. It is ruled by Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, whose agenda is dictated by Tehran. Hezbollah’s army is stronger than the official Lebanese army, and the country’s economy is designed to serve Nasrallah’s goals.”

The northern border of Israel straddles Lebanon and Syria. With Turkey now entering Syria as America is moving out, the next piece is in place for this prophesy to take place. Several articles are emphasizing this: Russia and Turkey Are the Winners in Syria. “The withdrawal of U.S. forces was exactly what Ankara and Moscow wanted. After more than six hours of talks, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan emerged in Sochi, Russia, on Oct. 22 with an agreement to establish a “Syria Safe Zone” along the Syrian-Turkish border.”

Russia Is the Only Winner in Syria. “With Washington’s policy in chaos and Erdogan moving into Putin’s orbit, Moscow has come out on top.” Turkey has called this move into Syria, “Operation Peace Spring.” This is an example of crying peace peace, when there is not peace. I don’t think the presidents policy is in chaos, Pres. Trump is outsmarting them again. This had to happen for prophecy to advance.

Our media is ignoring what the USA is doing in Saudi Arabia, but Mullahs don’t: US assembling a devastating strike force in the Middle East–!!!

“The American media are paying no attention to it, but you can be sure that the mullahs in Tehran have noticed: The United States is openly deploying the weapons necessary to launch a devastating attack on Iran, should the need arise. The Australian media are not so shy, they are reporting on this. The United States is quietly building up its forces in striking range of Iran. B-1B bombers have arrived in the desert kingdom of Saudi Arabia, along with stealth fighters, missile batteries and specialist troops.”

Exactly why they’re there depends on who you listen to. So Lebanon is controlled by the Iranian proxy Hezbollah—Russia, Turkey, and Iran have troops in Syria—and the world is still working to force Israel off her land.

Here is an article about the moves to kick Israel out of her land.
Haley: Sanders wants to give Israel’s money to terrorists
Former US Ambassador to UN: “Just when you thought Bernie Sanders couldn’t get any more radical, he outdid himself. He wants to take money we give to Israel to defend itself from terrorists, and give it to Gaza, which is run by terrorists?? Unreal. Why isn’t every other Dem pres. candidate saying he’s wrong?” tweeted Haley.” The Democratic candidates seem to be in lockstep to deny Israel her land, advocating that they give up Jerusalem. This is what God says will not happen in Ezekiel 36-37. The UN is also getting into the act!

Arab nations reject any Trump Israeli-Palestinian plan not on ’67 lines
“It is widely believed that Trump’s plan would allow Israel to retain all 0f its West Bank settlements, where some 430,000 of its citizens live. At the UN security council in New York, Jordan, Egypt, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, the Arab League and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation all spoke of the importance of a two-state solution at the ’67 line, and of a peace plan that would fall in line with past international understandings. All of Israel’s government since the Six Day War have rejected a return to the pre-1967 lines, which were considered to be suicidal borders. Saudi Ambassador to the UN Abdullah al-Mouallimi told the council that the Palestinian people were suffering under one of the most “heinous forms of occupation in our modern history.” As you can see, the UN has made its position clear again. The two state solution is a suicide pact for Israel and they will never go back to those borders.

Israel is on alert for war as the world cries peace—it is not working!
ISRAELI EMBASSIES ON ALERT, AIR DEFENSES ADJUSTED IN FACE OF IRAN THREAT. “According to reports in Hebrew-language media, a series of adjustments were made to IAF air defense systems in light of the fear that Iran might try to carry out an attack using cruise missiles or suicide drones, similar to the October attack against Saudi Arabia. “Iran wants to use Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and Yemen as bases to attack Israel with statistical missiles and precision-guided missiles. That is a great, great danger.” Iran has become very aggressive in the last few weeks. War is in the air! America has not pulled out completely from Syria, but is very much still involved in several operations: Defending the oil fields, and going after ISIS. Here is an article about the military going after the ISIS terrorist leaders.

Baghdadi Operation Named After Christian Woman Who Refused to Give Up Faith Before ISIS Killed Her. The US military operation that resulted in the death of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was dedicated to Kayla Mueller, a young Christian woman who was kidnapped, tortured, and murdered by the Islamic State. Mueller’s fellow hostages, who were later freed, told ABC News in 2016 she never stopped caring for others and even defended her faith against the infamous British ISIS executioner named Mohammed Emwazias, also known as “Jihadi John.”

This Christian woman is an example for all of us to not compromise our faith in the last days. She would not bow to the Muslim god or their threats and torture. Bagdahdi killed her after raping her. This is why the president named the mission after her—she has many riches in heaven because she confessed Jesus before men.
“I will not give in”: Kayla Mueller’s letter to her parents from captivity. “I remember mom always telling me that all in all in the end the only one you really have is God. I have come to a place in experience where, in every sense of the word, I have surrendered myself to our creator b/c literally there was no else….+ by God + by your prayers I have felt tenderly cradled in freefall. I have been shown in darkness, light + have learned that even in prison, one can be free. I am grateful. I pray each each day that if nothing else, you have felt a certain closeness + surrender to God as well + have formed a bond of love + support amongst one another…” Amen sister, you are with Jesus now!! Maranatha everyone!!

Prophecy Update: Deception 10/24/19

I want to center this paper on all of the deception that is ravaging our nation. 2Thess.2:10 says, “and with all the deception of wickedness for those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth so as to be saved.” The context of this passage is that the deception happens in the end times at the time of the rise of antichrist. God teaches us that the world will believe all of the lies of Satan at that time. God will send them a deluding influence so that they will not believe the truth. (vs.11-12) Notice that God uses a very important phrase: ‘the love of the truth.’ To love the truth you need to believe that there is absolute truth that is objective and unchanging. This the world has rejected.

Likewise, God warns us in Col.2:8, “See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the world, rather than according to Christ.” The deception and lies fostered on us are many but here is a few—global warming, you can choose your sex, transgenderism, open borders, global government, global economy, Trump colluded with Russia, no wait it was Ukraine, next its going to be little green men from Mars etc. etc.

The deception and lies of the press has brought on the phrase ‘fake news.’ To bring on all that Satan wants, he will have to lie and lie big lies so that people will go along with his fantasy that he is God over the earth. Ron Reagan Jr. believes the lies of the evil one. He did a commercial for the “Freedom from Religion Foundation” and said that our founding fathers intended to keep religion out of the government. This is the lie of the left about our founding. Then Ron Jr. said something horrifying —he said that as a lifelong atheist he was “not afraid of burning in hell.”

Contrast this with our Attorney Generals speech at Notre Dame. It was pro God and pro truth and the press ripped him for it. I read the speech and here are a few quotes: “Today, I would like to share some thoughts with you about religious liberty in America. It’s an important priority in this Administration and for this Department of Justice. We keep an eye out for cases or events around the country where states are misapplying the Establishment Clause in a way that discriminates against people of faith, or cases where states adopt laws that impinge upon the free exercise of religion. From the Founding Era onward, there was strong consensus about the centrality of religious liberty in the United States. The imperative of protecting religious freedom was not just a nod in the direction of piety. It reflects the Framers’ belief that religion was indispensable to sustaining our free system of government. In his renowned 1785 pamphlet, “Memorial and Remonstrance Against Religious Assessments,” James Madison described religious liberty as “a right towards men” but “a duty towards the Creator,” and a “duty….precedent both in order of time and degree of obligation, to the claims of Civil Society.” Unlike Ron Reagan, our Attorney General spoke about the need for religion and belief in God to restrain evil in our own hearts. He quoted Edmund Burke in his speech—this was amazing to me: “Edmund Burke summed up this point in his typically colorful language:
“Men are qualified for civil liberty, in exact proportion to their disposition to put chains upon their appetites…. Society cannot exist unless a controlling power be placed somewhere; and the less of it there is within, the more there must be without. It is ordained in the eternal constitution of things that men of intemperate minds cannot be free. Their passions forge their fetters.”
Please read this speech it was in the tradition of Christian truth preached during the days of the American Revolution. In the words of Madison, “We have staked our future on the ability of each of us to govern ourselves…”

Here is where the left went nuts, when Barr said this: “Instead, social order must flow up from the people themselves – freely obeying the dictates of inwardly-possessed and commonly-shared moral values. And to control willful human beings, with an infinite capacity to rationalize, those moral values must rest on authority independent of men’s will – they must flow from a transcendent Supreme Being.” That’s right, we are a nation built on the foundation of people obeying God, getting our morals from His Word. Barr went on to explain, “First, it gives us the right rules to live by. The Founding generation were Christians. They believed that the Judeo-Christian moral system corresponds to the true nature of man. Those moral precepts start with the two great commandments – to Love God with your whole heart, soul, and mind; and to Love Thy Neighbor as Thyself.” Our attorney general was quoting Exodus and Deuteronomy—that had to make the New York Times go crazy.

Barr diagnosed our problem like this: “On the one hand, we have seen the steady erosion of our traditional Judeo-Christian moral system and a comprehensive effort to drive it from the public square. On the other hand, we see the growing ascendancy of secularism and the doctrine of moral relativism. By any honest assessment, the consequences of this moral upheaval have been grim.”

Well the deceptive Fake News attacked Barr for his speech which honored Christianity and Judeo Christian values—The Guardian said, ‘A threat to democracy’: William Barr’s speech on religious freedom alarms liberal Catholics”—The New Yorker said, “William Barr’s Wild Misreading of the First Amendment”—- The New Republic said, Bill Barr’s First Epistle to the Heathens —–The Washington Post said this, Is this Barr’s cry for help? “This appeared to be a tacit endorsement of theocracy.” It was typical of the left, to continue their assault on Christianity they claim that Barr was attacking the constitution. This is a quote that is like all of the other attacks on Barr: “Our nation’s chief law enforcement officer — the person ultimately responsible for ensuring equal treatment under the law — appears to be demonizing anyone who does not share his religious and political values.”

In just the case of one speech the left lost its mind and attacked Christians and Christianity. Make no mistake, this is also an attack on the Trump administration who sent out three officials to talk about the importance of our Christen heritage. But leave it to the New York Times to come up with the best leftist lie of the devil: “God Is Now Trump’s Co-Conspirator, Bigotry, both racial and religious, is the last refuge of a scoundrel.” This is rich coming from the same people who have lied and protected liars pushing the Russian hoax, Ukraine Hoax, and now the Barr hatred of the constitution. Telling the truth as Barr has, made the left react to defend evil! Barr finished his speech with this:
“I can assure you that, as long as I am Attorney General, the Department of Justice will be at the forefront of this effort, ready to fight for the most cherished of our liberties: the freedom to live according to our faith.” Thank God.

Everything we see in the world is leading to the rise of antichrist. “The New York Times has never been bashful about its liberal leanings, and its loathing of President Donald Trump is a theme that’s run through pretty much every word it’s published for years. So if the Gray Lady is sounding antsy these days about the current crop of Democratic candidates, liberals might start listening. After four Democratic debates, after the initial field has been culled to 16, with only 12 qualifying for the most recent debate, and only three months before real-life voters actual make the first choices in Iowa, influential party members are still looking for a candidate they can have confidence in, The Times reported.” They are panicked because they do not have someone who can beat Trump in the elections. Where will it lead?

As the fake news press and the left try to destroy the President, they also want to destroy Israel. Check out this headline from Elizabeth Warren: ELIZABETH WARREN SAYS THAT AS PRESIDENT SHE WILL ‘WITHHOLD AID TO ISRAEL’ UNLESS THEY AGREE TO GIVE UP JERUSALEM TO CREATE A TWO-STATE SOLUTION WITH PALESTINE.

Bill Wilson wrote a great piece on the impeachment proceedings. The same lies hitting the president are hitting Israel and Prime Minister Netanyahu. “The goal of the game is to remove the president from office using the most outrageous false claim. All television networks will carry the Impeachment Game live every day, all day, until the public demands removal of the President, or the ratings crash. Contestants are summoned to testify before the secret tribunal, knowing that everything they say will be twisted when it is leaked to the news media. The game slogan is from Matthew 24:4: “Take heed that no man deceives you.”

I think this was brilliant. The impeachment proceedings are being done in secret because that is what liars do. They hide in the darkness, they have to stay in the dark because of the greatness of the evil. Here is a headline that exposes the evil of secret proceedings: “Republicans storm ‘Soviet-style’ impeachment meeting. Complaining of a “Soviet-style process,” more than a dozen House Republicans stormed a closed-door meeting Wednesday where Democratic lawmakers were questioning a Defense Department official in the impeachment inquiry into President Trump.” Her testimony was hearsay—that is all they have.

Well I have run out of room to go into the other deceptive practices of the evil one today. God will not be mocked, whatever these people sow they will reap. The NBA will soon fulfill this law of God. They defended the Communist Chinese against the freedom fighters of Hong Kong. Here is a bunch of rich basketball players telling the slaves of communist China that their government is good to oppress them so that the NBA can get rich. WOW are there any men left in the NBA who actually will stand for truth, justice, and the American way? C.S. Lewis called men like this, “men without chests.” Pray that we as Christians can stand in the truth, it will set us free!

Prophecy Update: Red Green Axis and the Day of the Lord

Prophecy is really pretty simple. Satan is going to be crushed by Jesus someday and everything is leading to this fight. There are only two lines in human history: Satan’s line (seed of the serpent) and Gods line of people (seed of the woman). They are always in conflict. Whether it is Cain and Abel, Isaac and Ishmael, Jacob and Esau; conflict colors all of history and Enoch gives us a picture of the end in Jude 14-15, “It was also about these men that Enoch, in the seventh generation from Adam, prophesied, saying, “Behold, the Lord came with many thousands of His holy ones, to execute judgment upon all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their ungodly deeds which they have done in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.” Quite a prophecy from Enoch so the Lord already was giving a picture of the end even before the flood! Part of this conflict includes two equally false teachings that are prominent in the world today. The false teaching of Marx and Mohammed! The M+M brothers are linked today in what is being called the Red Green alliance. This alliance fulfills what Jude said, Jesus will come to convict these ungodly people for they have done and said about Jesus and our heavenly Father!

The Red-Green Axis, joins together the forces of the Marxist left (the “Red”) with the global Islamic Movement (the “Green”). This very much is an ad hoc collaboration among global forces whose common objective is the destruction of Western Civilization. America’s Constitutional Republic and Israel stand alone as the last nations countering the tyrannical forces of both ‘Red and Green whose collective goal is to alter and undermine our national character, traditions, and laws so much that it can overthrow our form of government without firing a shot.’ Iran is fanatical about its desire to destroy both America and Israel. They shout every Friday at their prayer services, ‘Death to America’ and ‘Death to Israel.’ Is it any wonder then that China, Russia, and the European Union support Iran? Why those two nations?

America and Israel are two nations that are alike in some strange ways. Both advocate that the Creator God is the God of their nations making both nations biblical nations. Even though this is disputed in America, the Constitution still is in effect and many in our country still hold to a Godly view of our nation. Both nations are based on covenants. Satan has to bring America down so that his hatred of Israel can be fulfilled. The move towards a global government necessitates that America falls or changes from a constitutional government to a dictatorial government. This is the goal of the Red Green Alliance.

The red green alliance takes advantage of American freedom and laws. Their tactics, strategies, and cultural features mobilizes a large number of people. “For example, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) now supports Black Lives Matter (BLM) and participates in its protests. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) also work with BLM, CAIR, Antifa, and open borders groups. Immigration is one of the Red-Green Axis’s most effective tools. Under the banner of “compassion,” it advocates for open borders and endless waves of refugees, asylum seekers, and other third-world immigrants to stress government budgets at all levels, overburden communities with medical, language, crime, welfare, and other burdens, while rhetorically and sometimes physically attacking those who object, calling opponents “racists,” “bigots,” “xenophobes,” and the latest innovation, “Islamophobes.”

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán summarized it well in a 2016 speech, “Europe is not free. Because freedom begins with speaking the truth. Today in Europe it is forbidden to speak the truth.” Europe is right where Antichrist wants her to be. America is right behind her and we are fast approaching the day when Christians will be forbidden to tell the truth. Imagine if Hillary Clinton would have won the presidency. She would have put Huma Abedeen as Secretary of State. Huma Abedeen is a Muslim with ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. Tim Kaine was the vice president and he was elected by the Muslim Brotherhood to the governorship of Virginia with ties to communist groups in Honduras. The enemy is within the country to an extraordinary degree.

“THE RED-GREEN AXIS: Refugees, Immigration and the Agenda to Erase America.” was published in 2015 and was a bombshell. America is being undermined by a tidal wave of immigration. This publication gave evidence for the claim that the axis is bound and determined to bring down the United States. This alliance gets help from the United Nations. Go figure—the United Nations wants the overthrow of the United States in a bad way. Here is where it gets real interesting. In the study, many churches are part of the Red Green Axis.

The Chrislam movement in the church is the mixing of Christianity with Islam. The social gospel movement is the mixing of Christianity with Marxism.

The “social gospel” is a movement that is trying to get at a Christianity that moves to something more “real” than church doctrines and religious experience. “The social gospel movement of the early twentieth century picked up on this human impulse and designed a theology and a mission around it.” Practicality has replaced holiness in the church. The social gospel movement has created churches for the churchless. Preaching becomes five lessons on how to be better instead of going deeply into the text of Scripture and teaching the whole counsel of God. The living and active Word of God is replaced by practical messages sprinkled with a few verses. Instead of bringing people into the presence of the Living God to hear a word from Him, churches bring in people to learn “how to” vignettes with entertaining music. Becoming more relevant is not the job of the church. The church is beholden to God almighty to do what He says, not the culture. The movements associated with the social gospel are the emerging church, liberation theology, liberal churches, and seminaries who gave up teaching biblical theology. These movements are described for us by God in 1 Timothy 4:1, “The Spirit explicitly says that some will fall away from the faith in the last days paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons.”

It was 2000 years from Abraham to Jesus. When Jesus came, the political class and the religious class were not ready for Him. The religious authorities, Pharisees, Sadducees, priesthood, and Jews should have been ready. Even John the Baptist who is from a priestly family rejected the religious class to reach out to the people with the Word of God. Today is the same way. It has been 2000 years since Jesus rose from the dead and the political class and religious class are not ready for Him. The religious class: Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant denominations are by and large riddled with false teachers and unorthodox teaching. God predicted this for the political class in Psalm 2 and the religious class in 2 Tim.3:5, “holding to a form of godliness although they have denied its power and avoid such men as these.”

‘In 2007, a group of Muslim clerics sent an open letter to Christian leaders called “A Common Word Between Us”. In it they stated that the two “great religions” shared two crucial beliefs in common: The love of the one God and the command to love one another. Hundreds of Christian leaders, including Brian McLaren, Rick Warren and Jim Wallis, responded positively to the letter, calling for greater dialogue and cooperation between Christian and Muslim leaders to bring peace to the world and eliminate poverty and injustice.’ This movement of Chrislam is leading both Muslims and Christians astray from the true gospel. Naïve Christians are being led into a false belief that Allah and YHWH may be one and the same God; Muslims are being denied the opportunity to be confronted in love with the fact that Jesus is not a prophet—but is the Son of the living God. I believe that it is a great mistake to agree to the statement: ‘crucial beliefs in common: The love of the one God and the command to love one another.’ Evangelism that denies that our God is the only God is not evangelism. It is compromise with false teaching.

Muslims do not worship the God of the Bible. Allah cannot be the God of the Bible because he does not have a son named Jesus who is the creator of the universe! Chrislam in all of its forms is false teaching! I believe Chrislam is a major component of the movement to a one world religion foretold in the bible. Christians should avoid and speak out against this false teaching that seeks to find “common ground” between a false religion worshiping a false god, with the only true religion, Christianity, that teaches salvation and eternal life only by accepting Jesus Christ as the Son of God.

Three days ago, Attorney General Barr gave a speech about this topic at Notre Dame and defended Christianity. He said, “This is not decay,” he said. “This is organized destruction. Secular forces and their allies have marshaled all the forces of mass communication, popular culture, the entertainment industry, and academia, in an unremitting assault on religion and traditional values. I can assure you that as long as I am attorney general, the Department of Justice will be at the forefront of this effort, ready to fight for the most cherished of all American liberties: the freedom to live according to our faith,” he concluded.

Those are fighting words and I am thankful for those standing up for the rights that are given to us by God Himself. As the red/green evil movement works to destroy Christianity in America, we need to pray and ask God to deliver us. Our greatest weapon is prayer. God will move on our behalf, this He has promised in Matt.7:7-11. People in our country were filmed selling baby parts, the lawyers are not trying to stop the selling of body parts but trying to stop those revealing the evil sin of murder! Please pray with me this week that God will stop the red green alliance!
