Prophecy Update: Hook in the Jaw! Sept.28, 2018

If anyone tells you that the Old Testament is not the Word of God for Christians, reject that because it is false. 2 Timothy 3:16 is very clear about this—“all Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, reproof, correction, and training in righteousness.” All Scripture includes the Old Testament. There are over 2500 allusions to the OT in the NT and 855 direct quotes. What this means is that the OT is sufficient as the absolute authority of God in the lives of Christians! God claims that the Bible, which existed in Jesus day, is the absolute authority for all people in every country regardless of what there circumstances are. It is this authority that makes prophecy so amazing. You can still say, the Bible tells me so!
If anyone tells you that you do not have to obey the Ten Commandments, do not believe them. All of the Ten Commandments are reiterated and restated in the NT, they are not part of a covenant which God threw away, they are part of the moral fabric of the creation. The covenant God made with Israel is eternal, it will never go away.

Isaiah 45:5-7 “I am the LORD, and there is no other; Besides Me there is no God.
I will gird you, though you have not known Me; That men may know from the rising to the setting of the sun That there is no one besides Me. I am the LORD, and there is no other, The One forming light and creating darkness, Causing well-being and creating calamity; I am the LORD who does all these.”

If you suppose with me that God is clear about His desire for people to hear His Word, and respond to Him as the only God, then the Gog-Magog prophecy will help accomplish that goal. All people around the globe will see God destroy the combined armies of Russia and Iran and their allies and it will bring Him glory. Ezekiel 38:23 is clear on this point: “I will magnify Myself, sanctify Myself, and make Myself known in the sight of many nations; and they will know that I am the LORD.”’
God is looking to the world and giving them a choice: this choice is expressed many times, here is an example:

Isaiah 45:22-23, “Turn to Me and be saved, all the ends of the earth; For I am God, and there is no other. “I have sworn by Myself, The word has gone forth from My mouth in righteousness And will not turn back, That to Me every knee will bow, every tongue will swear allegiance.”

Did not God declare this also in the NT, as God makes clear that all people will bow to Him and His son Jesus.(Phil.2:9-11, Romans 14:11) The Gog Magog fulfillment will be another time when the world will be called on to bow to God and they will not do it!
This is OT teaching and is not to be rejected. Prophecy is coming about in our day, it is time to read the Old Testament, this is our Bible and it was written for us, it is for our profit!

Listen to what God says in Isaiah 46:9-10 “Remember the former things long past, For I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is no one like Me, Declaring the end from the beginning, And from ancient times things which have not been done, Saying, ‘My purpose will be established, And I will accomplish all My good pleasure’

When we remember the former things long past, we are remembering Ezekiel’s Prophecy and this is the Word of the Lord to the world in 2018, this Word which He gave us regarding the future war of Gog Magog, the rapture, the tribulation, all taught in the OT! God declared this war in Ezekiel 38-39, long ago and He will do what He said He will do. He will put a hook in the jaw of Russia and drag them down into Israel to fight.

This past week, several things took place that advanced the likelihood of this war. One of them was the shooting down of the Russian plane. It was shot down by Syrians and Russia blamed the Jews. Here is what took place right after:

“In the wake of one of their planes being shot down by Syrian missiles during an Israeli airstrike, Russia announced that within the next two weeks, they will be supplying Syria with the advanced S-300 missile defense system. The presence of the Russian missiles will seriously curtail Israel’s ability to cope with the Iranian military presence along their northern border and raises tensions in the region several notches.”

“[Israel is] determined to stop Iranian military entrenchment in Syria and the attempts by Iran, which calls for the destruction of Israel, to transfer to Hezbollah lethal weaponry [to be used] against Israel,” Netanyahu told Putin. The new S-300 system will not only enhance the Syrian army’s ability to respond to attacks but will also seriously inhibit Israel’s ability to operate in the region. Debka, an Israeli military intelligence website, suggested that the use of the system in such a manner might be a high-tech declaration of war.
Russia in two weeks will deploy the S-300 anti-aircraft system and will jam any jets trying to come into Syrian airspace. This will bring Russia and Israel into direct military conflict because Israel will not stop firing on Iranian military movements in Syria.
I have been studying and following the developments of the Gog Magog prophecy since 1979. At that point Russia Iran and Turkey were not allies. The Old Testament teaches me that these nations would become allies and it has happened. Other nations will join them and all of them are Muslim nations that hate Israel. If you believe the OT then you will believe what God says regarding the future. This is why I say, if someone tries to convince you that the OT is not for you and the Ten Commandments are not for you, do not believe them. Jesus said the exact opposite.
Jesus quoted OT passages to fight off the temptation of Satan, I encourage you to do the same thing! There is no difference in the God of the OT and the God of the NT. They are the same God and this God who demanded obedience in the OT still demands obedience in the NT. John 14:21 tells us that if we love Jesus we will keep His commandments. Romans 8:4 tells us that the fulfillment of the New Covenant from Jeremiah 31 is to fulfill the law inside of the believer, the righteous requirements of the law will be fulfilled in us—the believers who love the God of the OT. He is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ and Jesus loves Him with all of His heart! If anyone believes that the OT God is a God of wrath and the God of the NT is love, then you do not know God. God is going to throw down His wrath on the world according to Revelation and Jesus is going to bring the wrath. Same God and same wrath!!

We need to be strengthened in our faith because the world is heading towards war. Iran has once again threatened the USA and says they will destroy us because they blame us for an attack in Iran. Donald Trump responded to Iran by telling them that we are ready for war with you!! Mike Pompeo said that we will attack Iran if they move against the USA. President Trump also warned Russia to not put the S-300 missile system in Syria. Both Israel and the USA are against what Russia and Iran are doing in Syria. This conflict will lead to the war that is prophesied in Ezekiel 38-39. Satan is working overtime to destroy Israel and Christians.
I was very encouraged by over 250 pastors in China who wrote to their government that they will not bow to the Chinese government if it meant that they would have to deny that Jesus is their Lord. We need to do the same thing in America. Jesus is our King, and we need to stand on that truth. Jesus told Pilate that He was a king and this is why He came into the world. In China, they are doing what is happening here. They track what you believe and then they censor you. Christians are censored on Facebook, Google, and by the IRS. The anti-Christ system is rising.

At the UN this week, the European Union made clear that they are going to back Iran against Israel and America. They are going to push a peace deal, one that they say will keep Iran from getting a nuke by giving them more money. I do not see how this will keep them from getting advanced weapons when China and Russia both support Iran with arms and money. All of these nations are on the path the Bible predicted. This week make a concerted effort to read the Bible and especially Isaiah 45-46 and Ezekiel 36-39. These passages will strengthen your faith and give you hope for the future.
If anyone tells you that Paul and Peter do not base their faith on the Word of God and namely the OT, they are not telling you the truth. Paul said, I Cor.15:3-4, For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures. Paul did not deny the OT or cut it off! Peter says in I Peter 1:23-25 for you have been born again not of seed which is perishable but imperishable, that is, through the living and enduring word of God. For,“ALL FLESH IS LIKE GRASS, AND ALL ITS GLORY LIKE THE FLOWER OF GRASS. THE GRASS WITHERS, AND THE FLOWER FALLS OFF, BUT THE WORD OF THE LORD ENDURES FOREVER.” And this is the word which was preached to you.” Peter thought salvation was based on the OT. Ask God for discernment this week.

Prophecy Update: Smorgasbord 9/21/18

Satan hates Israel and the Church. This week I want to show how Biblical prophecy is being pushed forward on multiple fronts. Matt.24:4-14 will be our guide.
I have been reading a lot about the persecution of Christians around the world. China has begun a renewed effort to destroy Christianity. Mao tried this and failed. Dictators have a desire to make everyone worship them as Xi Jingping of China is doing now. Matt.24:9 says, “then they will deliver you up to tribulation and will kill you and you will be hated by all nations on account of My name.”

“Largest Country In The World Is Destroying 1000s Of Crosses And Bibles. Many Christians in the western world don’t even realize that the persecution of the end times has already started. All over the world, Christians are being attacked, Bibles are being burned and churches are being shut down. This persecution has been escalating for quite some time, but what prompted me to write this article today was the dramatic change that we have witnessed in China this year. Up to this point, the Chinese government has largely tolerated the booming house church movement, but now that era of toleration is officially over. New religious regulations that went into effect in February are being brutally enforced, and this is causing some to point out the frightening parallels between Communist China and Nazi Germany.” (By Right Side News -September 17, 2018) The suppression of religious freedoms is part of an official campaign to “Sinicize” religion by demanding loyalty to the atheist Communist party and removing any potential challenge to the party’s power in the country.

Matt.24:5 says, “for many will come in My name saying I am the Christ and will mislead many.” I John 2:18 talks about many antichrists arising on the scene. This comes in the form of false teaching and outright defiance of God. The 20th century saw its share of dictators who acted as god—Hitler, Mao, Stalin. Now we have this year’s crop of megalomaniacs—Xi Jingping of China, Kim Jong Un of North Korea, Vladimir Putin of Russia, Erdogan of Turkey, Maduro of Venezuela, Cyril Ramaphosa of South Africa and most of the leaders of the Muslim states just to name a few.
How about this headline: Biden: “Christians ‘intolerant’ of LGBT are ‘virulent dregs of society’ Former Vice President Joe Biden bashed Christians opposing the homosexual agenda as “forces of intolerance” and “virulent dregs of society” at a recent LGBT event, and a prominent pro-family group used his rant to alert Americans about what a leftist takeover in the nation’s capital would mean for believers.” Many in the progressive movement are giddy about the possibilities of winning back the house or senate in November—specifically so they can persecute Christians. I guess we are all ‘dregs of society’ according to Joe Biden.

Using China as an example again, the communist leadership of China, a country of 1.4 billion people is determined to stamp out Christianity. The Gospel Herald wrote this on Sunday: ‘China Forces Churches to Replace Crosses with National Flag, Display Pictures of President Xi Jinping. According to new regulations, “China’s Policies and Practices on Protecting Freedom of Religious Belief,” religious leaders “must conduct religious activities in the Chinese context, practice core socialist values, carry forward the fine traditions of the Chinese nation, and actively explore religious thought which conforms to the reality in China.” When Mao tried to destroy Christianity it sparked one of the largest revivals in history. Dictators never learn do they? Satan will do the same thing thru the anti-Christ only it won’t be an atheist doing it.
The persecution of Jews is also at an all-time high. The hatred of Israel around the world has grown to unprecedented heights. The Algemeiner reported Aug.28, “Former UK Chief Rabbi Lord Sacks Denounces Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn as ‘Antisemite’ Who Supports ‘Dealers of Hate” “Now, within living memory of the Holocaust, and while Jews are being murdered elsewhere in Europe for being Jews, we have an antisemite as the leader of the Labour Party and her majesty’s opposition. That is why Jews feel so threatened by Mr Corbyn and those who support him.”
The Sydney Morning Herald reported Sept.7th, More ‘prejudice in general’: creeping anti-Semitism stalks Europe. “Whenever anti-Semitism has been on the rise, you know that something bigger is going on. It is a sign that something is going wrong with society.” On the continent that saw the Holocaust, Jewish people are worried. In Germany many had metaphorically put their suitcases in the cellar – but they are now wondering if they should bring them back upstairs and start packing. In Austria, One of the party’s candidates in January’s national election had stood down after it was revealed he was a member of a fraternity whose songbook included lyrics about killing Jews, including “step on the gas, we’ll manage the seventh million”. He claimed not to have read all the pages.

Matt.24:6, “And you will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars see that you are not frightened for those things must take place but that is not yet the end.”
I believe that God raised up Barack Obama to set the conditions in Europe and the Middle East for war. I believe that God raised up Trump to light the match that will lead to the wars that will eventually bring in the Tribulation period.

Check out these flashpoints: Azov Sea Flashpoint: Russia, Ukraine Teetering On The Brink Of War. This article was written on 9/17 and catalogues the tension on the sea between Russia and Ukraine, tensions are very high for war.
“US backed Syrian forces launched an offensive on last ISIS holdout on eastern bank of the Euphrates River.” I will say more about this later in the update, but this is a bigger deal then most realize.
“Japan has carried out its first submarine drill in the South China Sea, a newspaper said Monday (Sep 17), a move that could provoke Beijing which claims most of the disputed waters. Submarine Kuroshio on Thursday joined three Japanese warships in waters just southwest of the China-controlled Scarborough Shoal, the Asahi Shimbun said.” The South China Sea is a bomb ready to go off, China has many nations angry at her for her dominance of the sea!

Matt.24:7, “for nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes.”

This headline is stunning (9/18): “Trump Does Not Have a Problem with West Bank Settlements” The U.S. ambassador said President Trump believes that Jewish settlements are not an obstacle to peace. One of the places on earth where nation is rising against nation is in the West Bank, biblical Judea and Samaria. God is very clear that He will bring the Jews back to this land and that it will not be a divided country. There will be no two state solution according to Biblical prophecy. As most of you know, I have written extensively on this topic and it is now at the forefront. With Trump putting so much pressure on the PA, they are falling apart. They will stike Israel and lose everything! God will have His way in Israel and the whole world will stand in awe! Ezekiel 36:36 says, “Then the nations that are left round about you will know that I the LORD have rebuilt the ruined places and planted that which was desolate I the LORD have spoken and will do it.”
America has troops on the Euphrates river, a river that is drying up. This is biblical prophecy, according to Revelation, the 200 million man army that comes from the east will cross a dried up Euphrates. (Rev.16:12) The pictures on the internet are stunning. Why is it drying up? Iran and Turkey are intentionally taking the water of the Euphrates. Check out this article from today, Sept.21–
Iran, Turkey dam projects drying up Iraq’s water, Gulf News Iraq. Iran is trying to cut off the Tigris River completely from the Sirwan — its original source. Iraq, the land of the ancient Assyrian and Sumerian civilisations, had, until recent years, abundant water sources. But, not anymore. At present, the country faces a growing shortage of water due to many factors, including several dam projects built by Iran and Turkey on the two main rivers — the Euphrates and Tigris, they account for nearly 98 per cent of the country’s surface water, studies show. This is why it is so important that American troops are on the Euphrates.

At this moment, many nations are vying for water in the Middle East and China, Russia, Turkey, Iran, and America have a lot of arms and men ready to fight it out over the water and oil and gas. Israel is caught in the middle because they need nothing from any of these nations—they have all of the gas, oil, and water that they need. What happens in history when one nation has more natural resources then other nations? War!!! This is not a minor amount of water, oil, and gas, it is a lot of it and the nations want what Israel has. Russia will eventually attack Israel to get it. The tensions between Israel and Russia grew this week when Syria downed a Russian plane and Russia blamed Israel.
The drying up of the Euphrates leads to Armageddon. The tensions of the nations in Europe and the Middle East with the persecution of believers and Jews are all in play and prophesied by Jesus to take place in the end times. These things are happening quicker like birth pangs. I have not even spoken about earthquakes and natural disasters! Iraq is in a catastrophic drought at the same time that Turkey and Iran are diverting the waters of the Euphrates. The Washington Times reported last week that Iraq will only have 40% of the water they had just 10 years ago. This is happening quickly my friend which means the Rapture of the Church is just around the corner!! One last thing, as all of this is happening the world has moved closer to the mark of the beast. I will write more on this next week but suffice to say, China has already introduced the system that antichrist will use in the end times. Come Lord Jesus Come—can’t happen fast enough for me!

Prophecy Update: Peace Treaty 9/14/18

I am concerned about anyone who says that they can make a peace deal between Israel and the world. The world says that the problems in the world are a direct result of the Israeli Palestinian conflict. If you solve this problem it will bring peace to the world. Our President says that it is the ultimate peace plan. The Jewish Press reported on Sept.8, “Tasked by U.S. President Donald Trump to help reach the “deal of the century,” Jason Greenblatt, who serves as one of Trump’s top Middle East envoys, has a herculean task before him: to help negotiate the peace plan between the Israelis and the Palestinians.”

The deal of the century can be the peace plan that is confirmed by the anti-Christ. The last few peace deals were all failures and none of them had anything in them that I thought could be used by the anti-Christ for the seven year peace deal he will confirm. Here are two important verses about this peace deal.

Daniel 9:27 says, “And he will make a firm covenant with the many for one week, but in the middle of the week he will put a stop to sacrifice and grain offering; and on the wing of abominations will come one who makes desolate, even until a complete destruction, one that is decreed, is poured out on the one who makes desolate.”

2 Thess.2:3-4, “Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God.”

These two verses point out that the peace deal will be confirmed for seven years. In the middle of the seven years, anti-Christ will break the deal and sit in the Temple to make everyone worship him as God. Here is what Greenblatt said about the peace deal: “I think our plan begins with reality. It recognizes the history of the conflict of course, but [other plans] were always relying on tired notions of what it should be. Instead, it focuses on what it could be. Our plan isn’t just a two-page turn sheet; it’s an extensive document that we’ve developed that explains how we think the conflict can be resolved.”

Here is a list of all the failed peace deals: Arab–Israeli peace diplomacy and treaties
1949 Armistice Agreements, Allon Plan, Rogers Plan, Geneva Conference (1973)
Camp David Accords (1978), Egypt–Israel Peace Treaty (1979), Madrid Conference of 1991, Oslo Accords (1993). Notice that after 1993, all of the attempts at a new peace deal have failed. In 1995 they upped the ante of the Oslo accords but they were never really followed. It was a sham in my eyes. I don’t have time to show you how all of these peace deals were deficient and failures, all you have to do is see that today there is no peace. This is what Jesus said, they cry peace but it never comes.

Two things bother me about the Trump plan: they believe that they can resolve the problem thru a peace deal. They believe that their peace deal is dealing with reality. I think both of these beliefs are not taking into consideration the spiritual battle going on behind the invisible veil of prophecy. No one can solve this problem because Satan will move all of the nations of the world to hate Israel and hate Jesus. Reality means that your eyes are open to what people believe and are committed to. This is why what Trump is doing is so amazing–

What is ironic is that Trump is actually beginning to stand against all of the lies of the evil one. He is going after the lie of the Palestinian right of return. As Trump has put pressure on the PLO and cut off their funds they are reeling. He shut off funds to pay terrorists which every president refused to stand up to. He shut off funds at the UN. “After cutting aid to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) in January, the U.S. announced two weeks ago that they would no longer contribute to the organization. The U.S. is the major contributor to the organization which is currently in an economic crisis, scrambling among the other nations for funding.” He is now shutting down the PLO offices in Washington D.C. When he moved the embassy to Jerusalem he attacked the false teaching that Jerusalem is the capital of the Palestinian state. John Bolton spoke about this Tuesday and linked the decision to abandon the PLO with the false court called the International Criminal Court.
Here are some quotes: “The Trump administration will not keep the office open when the Palestinians refuse to take steps to start direct and meaningful negotiations with Israel,” according to an early draft of Bolton’s remarks reviewed by The Wall Street Journal. “We will not cooperate with the ICC. We will provide no assistance to the ICC. We will not join the ICC. We will let the ICC die on its own. After all, for all intents and purposes, the ICC is already dead to us,” says Bolton’s draft text. The PLO responded by saying: “We reiterate that the rights of the Palestinian people are not for sale, that we will not succumb to US threats and bullying,” Erekat said in a statement. “Accordingly, we continue to call upon the International Criminal Court to open its immediate investigation into Israeli crimes.”

The US ambassador to Israel, David Friedman said, “We have thrown billions of dollars at the Palestinians and we are not a millimeter closer to peace.” He went on to say that “since 1994 we have thrown 10 billion dollars at the Palestinians and got nothing.” I have been saying for years that no Palestinian or Muslim wants peace with Israel, they want Israel to leave or die. We have thrown ten billion dollars of American money at people to get them to stop attacking Jews! They have never stopped attacking Jews and Christians. Now we have a President who is standing up for Jews and Christians around the world and the world hates it.
The other player in this mess is Iran. Trump also stood against the lies of the Obama administration concerning the intent of the Iranians. Their intent is clear, death to Israel and death to America. How can you make peace with someone who cries war every Friday afternoon? Psalm 120:7 says, “I am for peace but when I speak they are for war.” This is the true nature of all negotiations with Iran and the PLO the last 40 years. No one in Iran wants peace with Israel except the populace who are at odds with the dictatorship. Europe will eventually have the anti-Christ come to power, made their intentions known this week. Consider this headline:
“A Greater Threat to Israel than Iran: The Deception of NGOs. In direct opposition to President Donald Trump’s renewed sanctions against Iran, the European Union has made the grandiose offer of $20.7 million in aid to the Ayatollah Khamanei and his terrorist regime. Mr. Trump made the decision to reinstate the measures in order to halt Iran’s threat of furthering its pursuit of nuclear weapons. While the move by the EU has posed a renewed threat by Iran to Israel and the Middle East, there is an even greater and less perceived menace: Non-governmental organizations, or NGOs. Supposedly humanitarian groups claiming only to promote human rights, these bodies are known to be actively involved in discrediting Israel in every way possible. Often working behind the scenes and totally unaccountable for their political actions, NGOs are the recipients of major subsidies from governments.”
NGO’s are proof that many governments are working overtime to destroy the Jewish people and country. The EU is full of government funding for groups dedicated to destroying Israel. They are dedicated to covering up who is doing the funding. “The lack of transparency when it comes to donors, dispersal, budgets, and extent of said aid is in contravention of rudimentary democratic values. Some governments that supports NGOs have alleged that such information is, in fact, “state secrets” and disclosure of the information would be a “danger to public security.” Heaven forbid that Israel should discover who is secretly funding the internal riots, attacks, and terrorist activities!”
Many people are seeing that the removal of the PLO from the process works into biblical prophecy. Rabbi Pinchas Winston, a prolific end-of-days author, “believes the political marginalization of the Palestinians is a sign that they have fulfilled their purpose in the Messianic process and are no longer necessary. “This is clearly a divine process since it was totally unexpected. It certainly wouldn’t have happened under Obama and probably not under any of the previous presidents who promised to move the embassy but didn’t.” The world under the leadership of Satan promotes Iran and the PLO so that they can destroy Israel. Trump has stopped funding to the two darlings of the Satanic hatred of Israel. This is Biblical prophecy coming true in our day.
A new bill in the House of Representatives is H.R. 1697, The Israel Anti-Boycott Act and it prohibits boycotts against allies of the United States boycotts fostered by international governmental organizations against Israel and to direct the Export-Import Bank of the United States to oppose boycotts against Israel, and for other purposes. This is a great bill and will bless Israel and the USA. The world hates this stuff that Trump is doing and as you see, this year has been an amazing year of seeing the USA and Israel forging ties of solidarity I have never seen in my life. I am thrilled, but I know the evil one will never allow a peace deal that will be in Gods will. He is working overtime to stop Trump blessing Israel. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and that God will protect our President against those who hate what is right and good. I also pray that Trump may stop the peace deal! Are you ready for the Lord to come back? I hope you are praying and in the Word of God daily to prepare. God Bless You.

Prophecy Update: Sept.7, 2018

As I track the moves of China and Russia, I see that a major war is brewing between the USA and her allies and China, Russia and their allies. I am tracking these developments because the Bible tells us that after Anti-Christ signs the peace deal with Israel, Revelation says there will be a world war. The four horsemen of the apocalypse will ride and one of the horses has Anti-Christ riding the horse to take control of the earth. The white horse has a rider going out to conquer, the red horse brings war for men to kill each other and the ashen horse rides as death and one fourth of the earth is killed.

America is in danger from other nations as we have never been in the past. Having two oceans protecting us and weak neighbors militarily, we have always felt safe. Not anymore! I usually track the specific prophecies regarding Israel and the wars that they are facing biblically. The question has always bothered and fascinated me about where is America in prophecy. Is God going to remove America from the power players on the earth? If He is then I think these developments will be a part of that judgment.

The Russians have started war games and have been moving tanks and arms in place that give evidence that Russia is preparing for war. There are now 25 warships in the Mediterranean Sea and 1000 tanks have been moved to the western edge of Russia. To say that Ukraine, Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia are nervous is an understatement.

Debka file reported this weekend: “Taking part in Russia’s 8-day sea-air exercise that was launched in the eastern Mediterranean on Saturday are 26 warships and 30 aircraft. Commanded by Russian Navy chief Adm. Vladimir Korolov, the drills range over a section of water between the Syrian coast and Cyprus. The cruise missile carrier, the Marshal Ustinov cruiser, is the flag ship. The air force contingent taking part in the exercise includes Tu-160 strategic bombers, Tu-142 and Il-38 anti-submarine warfare planes and Su-33 and Su-30SM fighter-bombers.”
Russia’s Multinational Military Exercise Last Week Was A Dry Run For Bigger War Games. NPR is reporting: The exercise on the remote Chebarkul tank range was a dry run for even bigger Russian war games with China, starting next week. Moscow is billing the upcoming Vostok-2018, or East-2018, exercises in eastern Russia as the most massive in almost four decades. “Russia’s entire Central Military District, with all its personnel, will directly take part in the upcoming military maneuvers,” said Lt. Gen. Alexander Lapin as a helicopter clattered overhead. “We will proudly take part in these exercises — unprecedented in their size — and apply new methods for the current circumstances.” “Peace Mission 2018” was held under the auspices of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, a loose grouping of Eurasian nations. The 3,000 troops who participated came from seven member countries, with regional rivals India and Pakistan taking part in a joint military exercise for the first time ever.

This coalition of armies from the Shanghai Cooperation Organization is preparing for war with the United States. These countries would like to get rid of the dollar and the US for good. “The SCO’s eight members now account for about half of the world’s population, a quarter of the world’s GDP, and about 80 percent of the Eurasian landmass. Two of the SCO members are permanent members of the UN Security Council (Russia and China), and four are nuclear states (Russia, China, India, and Pakistan). Three of the SCO members are part of the BRICS grouping (Russia, China, and India). All of this grants considerable perceived political value to the SCO.” As the West is in crises, turning her back on the Judeo/Christian worldview, persecuting Jews and Christians, the East is rising.

These forces are partly responsible for what happened today: 9/4: Russia resumed air strikes on rebel-held Idlib on Tuesday, after a 22-day pause, the London-based observatory reported. Earlier, President Donald Trump warned Bashar Assad and his Russian and Iranian allies against “recklessly attacking” the last rebel-held province of Syria. “The Russians and Iranians would be making a grave humanitarian mistake to take part in this potential human tragedy,” he tweeted. “Hundreds of thousands of people could be killed.” But Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov rejected the warning and said the Syrian army was “getting ready” to clear a “nest of terrorists” there.

Russia has been practicing at war in Syria and Ukraine for many years and America has been blind to the developing capabilities and alliance made with China. The current large scale war games are being done with Chinese soldiers. Yale professor Paul Bracken has spoken about this blind spot in American diplomacy. He said that Russia is trying to disrupt any notion that America is leading the world with any kind of coalition of countries that support her. China is clearly following a plan to attack and hinder America. Both of these countries for the last ten years have attacked America thru cyber warfare without the country saying anything publicly. China and Russia are opposing USA power by disrupting NATO, and splitting any alliances that we have. China has two economic reasons to oppose America, the South China sea and the One Belt Initiative which is their economic strategy uniting Asia and Europe.

In the last year, Putin of Russia threatened to nuke America. He put up a video of Florida being nuked. In an interview with Megyn Kelly several months ago, Putin said that Russia’s nuclear weapons are battle ready. How seriously should America take this threat? Putin said, “Russia was and remains a big nuclear state but no, no one wanted to speak with us constructively, no one has listened to us, but you will listen now. Sarmat is a very powerful mighty weapon due to its characteristics. No anti-ballistic missile systems could be used to stop it.”

The United Nations Security council met on 9/6 to talk about the battle over Idlib. As the US has warned Russia about killing all of those people, Russia has basically told the Americans to butt out of it. The confrontation has been further complicated by America claiming that the Syrians and Russians are going to use chemical weapons in this fight. The BBC reported this morning that: “Syria war: US ‘has seen evidence’ chemical weapons being prepared. The new US envoy for Syria has said there is “lots of evidence” that Syrian government forces are preparing to use chemical weapons in Idlib. Jim Jeffrey said an anticipated offensive against the last major rebel-held area would be a “reckless escalation”, Reuters reported.” America is controlling the eastern part of Syria over the Euphrates River, Russia wants the spoils of war and Idlib is the last holdout. If America intervenes because of chemical warfare, the war will get much bigger. Syria and Russia are telling people that it is the US led people who are using chemical weapons. Russia is flexing its muscles and they are preparing for a bigger war. As the Ruble falls and the economy dies in Russia, war is the answer.

TEHRAN, Iran (AFP) — “The presidents of Iran, Russia and Turkey were due to meet Friday in Tehran for talks on the future of Idlib province amid growing fears of a humanitarian disaster in Syria’s last major rebel bastion.” These three countries are experiencing the failure of their currencies because of American sanctions. Russia and China are ditching the dollar and as they do this, globally we will see more and more instability. Most people are unaware of the dangers this poses for America. How will America enforce the use of the dollar across the world?
Add to this explosive mix the desires of the Communist Chinese. With absolute control over their people comes absolute efficiency. China is controlling the South China Sea so they can control the economies of the region, bribe those who move cargo thru the sea, and stay in power. 18% of our exports go to China and now Trump has thrown down the gauntlet, raising tariffs to raise money and right some wrongs economically. Whenever a rising power threatens an established power, war is inevitable. This is a rule of history. That is why I say that war is inevitable with China. What is worse, China and Russia are now allies against the USA. China is ruled by an absolutist dictator who added his name to the constitution and made all 88 million communist party members copy the constitution by hand! Xi Jingping is worse than Mao, and Mao was a murdering evil man. He has effectively gained control of the South China Sea from America.

I read a military analysis of WW2 and the paper concluded that whoever controlled the Pacific theatre could potentially control the world. China has dominated her neighbors and few if any have objected to this takeover! The One Belt policy connects China to 68 countries and is their largest investment into their economy. It joins the One child policy and the One China policy. China throws money into this endeavor, they give the money and ask nothing about human rights. They do not care about human rights, only China rights and communist rights. Taiwan, Philippines, Malaysia, and Vietnam beg to differ with China on control of the South China Sea, but what can they do? None of these countries are strong enough to fight China. That is where the USA enters—Britain also has entered this fray and China threatened them today with economic war. BEIJING/SHANGHAI (Reuters) – “China on Friday warned Britain ties were at risk unless it took steps to “rectify” the situation, after a British warship sailed close to South China Sea islands claimed by China, while a major newspaper said sealing a free trade deal could now be harder.”
These tensions are setting up a big war that can only culminate in the war described in Revelation with the four horseman of the apocalypse. Time is short, this weekend is the feast of Trumpets, pray that God will preserve us. Pray that Jesus will come for His church! Maranatha.

Prophecy Update: Jerusalem a Burdensome Stone

If you were driving down the road and made a right turn onto a road that just had a horrible crash and the police put restrictions that caused you to turn around, that is what it is like to deal with Jerusalem. The nations of the world are dealing with Jerusalem and it is a burdensome stone for them when they should turn around. Turning around means to agree that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel and unified. The nations however say that Jerusalem is not the capital of Israel but an international city that should be shared by the nations, with east Jerusalem as the capital of the Palestinian State. That is like trying to force your way by the police blockade. In this case, the blockade is from the Lord Himself. His blockade to the nations is to say to them, accept my will regarding Jerusalem or else. God does not often act like this so when He does, you should pay attention. Of Jerusalem God said,

Zech. 1:17 “Again, proclaim, saying, ‘Thus says the LORD of hosts, “My cities will again overflow with prosperity, and the LORD will again comfort Zion and again choose Jerusalem.”’”

God has established His truth about Jerusalem in Israeli law and it is accepted by several countries as America led the charge to move the embassy to Jerusalem. The important thing to point out is that God has moved and His truth has gone forth. Jerusalem is His city and He has given it to Israel, not the Palestinians or Muslims or the Vatican. God asks the nations to have this attitude:

Isa 66:10 “Be joyful with Jerusalem and rejoice for her, all you who love her;
Be exceedingly glad with her, all you who mourn over her.

Instead of rejoicing about what God has done, the nations have rebelled and they are fulfilling at least in their attitude Zech.12:3, “It will come about in that day that I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples; all who lift it will be severely injured. And all the nations of the earth will be gathered against it.” In Israel, King David fought and killed the giant Goliath with a rock and a sling. Israel made a defense missile system called David’s Sling. The world should note with great care, that Israel is protected and can fight as David did. These nations are Goliath and Israel is David, victory is secure.

God is very clear about His intentions. He has intended to bring Israel back and to establish Jerusalem. We are so privileged to be living in that day. God says:

Psalm132:13+14, For the LORD has chosen Zion; He has desired it for His habitation. “This is My resting place forever; Here I will dwell, for I have desired it.”
America has very strongly supported Israel in every area. Most important is that America now agrees that the Palestinians are a poor partner for peace. Amreica has bypassed the Palestinian Liberation Authority. We just stopped 200 million dollars going to the PLA. Here is the headline from YNET news: “Erekat accuses US, Israel of ‘waging war’ on Palestinians. After US announces decision to cut more than $200 million in Palestinian aid, PLO Secretary General Saeb Erekat tells Ynet ‘political blindness’ shown by Trump and Netanyahu, which he says has ‘no end game’, is destroying the path of peace; says no peace without east Jerusalem as capital of Palestinian state.” As you will note, the PLA is still living under the illusion that they will get Jerusalem. The illusion continues for most nations of the world. The EU and UN are filled with nations that hate Israel and are willing to go to war to kick Israel out of the land. However, they have no will in either place. All of their words are empty and there is no one to attack Israel with an army big enough or strong enough to defeat Israel. The one nation that can launch an attack is Russia.

America recognizes that Iran and Russia are on the border of Israel and have evil intentions. That is why America has moved to recognize the Golan Heights. This is where the war of Magog/Gog will take place. It was reported last week: August 24:

NETANYAHU SAYS HAS NOT GIVEN UP ON U.S. RECOGNITION OF CONTROL OVER GOLAN: In July the House Subcommittee on National Security held a hearing on the matter under the title: “A new horizon in US-Israel relations: From an American embassy in Jerusalem to potential recognition of Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights.” The purpose of the hearing, according to an announcement put out by the subcommittee, was “to discuss the potential for American recognition of Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights in furtherance of US national security interests.” Russia is preparing for the war with Israel. Look at this move this week: “Russia will next month hold its biggest war games in nearly four decades,” Reuters is reporting.

“Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu was quoted by Russian news agencies on Tuesday as describing the scope of the war games, which will take place from September 11 through 15. “The exercise — called Vostok-2018 (East-2018) — will take place in central and eastern Russian military districts and involve almost 300,000 troops, over 1,000 military aircraft, two of Russia’s naval fleets, and all its airborne units, agencies quoted Shoigu as saying. It will be the biggest military exercise since 1981….”

Since 2014 Russia has been on the move; war with Ukraine, taking Crimea, entering Syria and fighting for four years, war games to practice invasion of Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia. America and NATO are unprepared for this attack from Russia. The only way to stop the Russians is to use nukes and America does not seem prepared to do this. On top of this, the EU has now declared that America is not a partner for anything. Macron: Europe can’t rely on U.S. for security Aug.28th Arkansas Democrat Gazette–French President Emmanuel Macron called on Europe to take more responsibility for its defense as partners like the U.S. “turn their back” on the current world order. “The real question for Europe is if China and the U.S. see Europe as being strategically autonomous; today they don’t,” Macron told French ambassadors in Paris on Monday during the president’s annual foreign-policy speech. “Europe can no longer rely solely on the United States for its security. We must guarantee our own security and sovereignty.”

Macron is deceived by his political correctness. He claims to be a great leader because he has better morals than nationalists and Trump. He believes there should be no national borders. I bet Russia and Germany wouldn’t mind taking their land. If America decides not to enter a war with Russia in Europe, Russia would have no problem destroying Europe. It should serve as a warning that when Macron and Merkel of Germany shout loudly that they are going to defend themselves without the USA, Russia begins moving troops into position to invade. The Bible tells us that the invasion of Israel is coming. But make no mistake about it, Russia wants the Baltic States. If no one stopped them from taking Crimea, no one will stop them from taking the Baltic States. This might be the final practice before Russia invades Israel.

Bloomberg had this headline: “Macron and Merkel Are Signaling They’ve Finally Had Enough of Trump.” This breaking with the USA signals the rise of anti-Christ.
“Both are pushing the EU to take on more global responsibility for defense while weighing a plan to create a separate financial system to ensure European autonomy. As the finance ministers of both countries pick up the discussion during talks in Paris on Wednesday, a question mark remains over whether it’s even feasible for a continent so intertwined with the U.S. to take back control.”
We know that Bible Prophecy teaches us that Europe will be taken over by the anti-Christ and a new financial system. These events this week are the down payment for the eventual fulfillment of prophecy.

Without the anti-Christ, Europe will not stop Russia or hinder the USA. They are so weak, there is no will in Europe to defend their culture. The takeover of Europe by the Muslims is almost complete. As Russia sends three war ships to the border of Syria in the Mediterranean, Europe is concerned that Italy and Hungary will not take any more Muslims into their countries. The European Union issued a report asking NATO to show restraint towards Russia in all of her moves of troops, nukes, and military maneuvers. Oh did I tell you that Russia moved more tactical nukes into the Syrian region. You cannot ask Europe to become more passive, Neville Chamberlain would be so proud. As Russia gets more powerful, war is on the horizon quickly. The buildup is coming fast. This is easy to see in all of the free press, what we do not know is how and when Russia will strike.

Since Jerusalem is the timepiece of biblical prophecy, mark it well that the European Union is entrenched in their view that the Jews do not have a right to make Jerusalem their capital. They have opposed Israel in every law they passed concerning Jerusalem being their capital. Since they claim that it belongs to the Arabs, God sent them the Arab Muslims and they are being judged by this group of people.
Iran and Syria just inked a deal for Iran to stay in Syria. The response of Europe was to support Iran and not the USA or Israel. In my mind, Germany and France just made themselves the enemies of the USA. Both Macron and Merkel show their hatred for anyone who does not follow their globalist agenda. The globalist agenda is the agenda of Anti-Christ, period. Pray for the United States to stay strong in the midst of all of the chaos. God has blessed the Christians in this country giving us another opportunity to share His word and teach the truth before the fall comes. Come Lord Jesus, Come!

Prophecy Update: August 23, 2018 “The China Threat”

While the press obsesses over Russia and destroying Trump, our greatest enemy is the communist leaders in China. China has been following a strategy to destroy America for many years, however, the US government has treated China as a partner and not an enemy. That was until Trump came to town and has changed how the CIA and Pentagon treat China. China employs a strategy known as ‘Asymmetrical Warfare’ and they are making incredible headway against us, to the point that they now openly threaten us. Among the more than 40 strategies: culture warfare to break the moral fabric of a society, cyberwarfare as a tool to achieve its various goals, economic warfare to rob and destroy a country’s economy, and psychological warfare to alter the way people interpret information.

This week: “FBI Director Warns China is America’s Most Significant Intelligence Threat.” China is engaged in aggressive intelligence operations in the United States, ranging from the recruitment of academics to stealing agricultural secrets from farmers, FBI Director Christopher Wray says. “I think China, from a counterintelligence perspective represents the broadest, most challenging, most significant threat we face as a country,” Wray said during a security conference in Colorado. Current and former intelligence officials last week acknowledged that decades of intelligence assessments and policies toward China that viewed the Communist Party-ruled government in Beijing as a benign power are no longer valid. The journal Foreign Affairs recently published a debate titled “Did America get China wrong?” based on an article by former diplomats Kurt Campbell and Ely Ratner who called for new policies toward China based on the failure of decades of U.S. engagement policies to mitigate the China threat. A recent Rand Corp. study concluded that U.S. military forces are so poorly structured the United States is in danger of losing a future war with China.

Author and commentator Bill Gertz has catalogued for us all the ways China has been attacking America and America has not listened. I have read several of his books and the last one is about the technology war with China in cyberspace. It is called IWAR and is very good. Unfortunately, the USA has been set up to take a fall if China goes through with her plan.

The Trump administration sharply changed course. In December 2017, the White House National Security Strategy, in a major policy shift, declared China to be a strategic competitor. The Pentagon followed in January with a new Pentagon defense strategy that identified Beijing as a strategic threat, along with Russia. Aggressive Chinese spying and theft of technology, largely carried out unimpeded in previous years, is now a major counterintelligence priority. Last week, FBI Director Christopher Wray disclosed that Chinese spies pose the “most significant” intelligence threat to the United States.
A 2005 special U.S. intelligence assessment produced for the director of national intelligence stated that American spy agencies missed more than a dozen key Chinese military developments, including new weapons systems. Four years earlier, a panel of intelligence experts found the CIA was soft on China and suffered from an “institutional predisposition” to play down or misinterpret threats from China.
Post 9-11, the Bush administration’s focus has, of course, been riveted on the terror war, and China has gone off the main radar. But despite Beijing’s public support for the coalition’s war on terror, regular rumblings of Chinese complicity with the terrorists have surfaced. Among them was a WND report of some Chinese fighters assisting the Taliban.

Now, author Gordon Thomas has written a book claiming that Beijing had an actual role in the Sept. 11 attack on America. In “Seeds of Fire,” Thomas purports to show how Beijing is positioning itself to become America’s “new major enemy.” Thomas points out that on Sept. 11, a transport plane from Beijing landed in Kabul. A Chinese delegation had gone to Afghanistan to sign a deal with the Taliban – reportedly brokered by Osama bin Laden – to provide the Afghans with missile-tracking technology, state-of-the-art communications and air-defense systems. In his book, Thomas contends that hours after the plane landed in Kabul, CIA Director George Tenet received a coded “red alert” message from Israeli Mossad agents that presented a “worst case scenario” – that China would use a surrogate, bin Laden, to attack the United States. We did not listen!

Asymmetrical warfare: THE IMPRESSIVE CONVENTIONAL military strength post-industrial states have procured in the past half-century has helped to determine the shape and nature of modern warfare. In a geostrategic environment where conflict continues to persist between advanced militaries and their substandard adversaries–either rogue states or terror cells–the latter have been forced to develop asymmetric ways of challenging the superior with the inferior.
Infographic: China’s Secret War Against America: “Methods of subversion and unrestricted war used to undermine the United States April 12, 2018” The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has for decades waged a quiet war against the United States, mobilizing all elements of its society, and targeting all institutions and foundations of the American system. In this war, it is using a series of unconventional warfare tactics designed to achieve the goals of war, without engaging in troop-on-troop combat. Many of these tactics were detailed in the 1999 Chinese military book, “Unrestricted Warfare,” but pull from older deception tactics and from programs that were set in motion by the Soviet Union. The key goal is to win a war without fighting openly, to seize control of a society gradually, to steal an economy, and to use methods to intentionally keep the public distracted and unaware. “The ultimate goal is complete takeover, both economically and militarily, until permanent capitulation is achieved,” Fleming said, and described it as a form of warfare “based on deception, and devoid of any rules.”
Michael Pillsbury was on the Mark Levin show last week, he is a China expert with decades of experience working in the U.S. government for multiple administrations. His comments were chilling. He has just released a work titled, The Hundred Year Marathon. Here are some observations of the book:
“False assumption number 1: Engagement with China brings complete cooperation. It hasn’t. After decades of America assisting in China’s rise, they are more of a threat now to our way of life and security than ever.
False assumption number 2: China is on the road to democracy. They are not. They are a hard core totalitarian system that seeks domination over the United States.
False assumption number 3: China is a fragile power. They are not. This is a ruse to lull the West to sleep over their true designs, until it is too late, adhering to ancient Chinese tactics. (The Art of War)
False assumption number 4: China wants to be, and is, just like us. They are not. In decades, China will still be a hostile adversary, bent on our subjugation to their power. Only then, their economy will be much larger than ours. They are using deception and subterfuge to blind us to their true goals of conquest.
False assumption number 5: Chinese hawks are weak within China. On the contrary, they control policy making and are hostile to the United States.”
Did you know there are 300,000 Chinese students now in the United States, sending all their research, patents, and proprietary information home to the Chinese communists? They are embedded in our government, in our schools, in our media and entertainment industry, and in our technology. Of course the Marxists don’t want Donald Trump in power. He stands for everything that they hate – freedom, the rule of law, the values of the American founders, free market capitalism. We truly are in a perilous time for our republic.

At the conclusion of the description of the four horsemen of the apocalypse God says in Rev.6:8, “And I looked and behold an ashen horse and he who sat on it had the name death; and Hades was following with him and authority was given to them over a fourth of the earth to kill with sword and with famine and with pestilence and by the wild beasts of the earth.” I believe that America has to fall for the tribulation to begin. It may fall at the beginning when this war described in Rev.6 happens. It may happen before. China already is installing the antichrist system of tracking all of their citizens and punishing them for what they believe. In the USA this tracking is happening from private companies. With the rise of Artificial Intelligence, men are feeling more like gods than ever. Digital life is connected in America with physical life because many of our clothes and shoes are marked with tracking devices that send info back to the company. A cashless society is rising quickly. China is working hard to dominate this market because they believe that they should dominate the world. China is persecuting Christians at an alarming rate. They go after any dissenting voices much like ABC, CBS, CNN etc, are doing in the US. With the rise of China, technology and the mark of the beast, and the civil war in the USA points to a soon event called the rapture. The feast of trumpets comes on Sept.8-9, just two weeks from today. I love this time of the year and I always look forward to the rapture. Pray for the Lord to come back quickly!!
Lastly, Germany is calling for a global payment system independent of the USA. This along with Russia, Iran, and China moving away from the dollar is giving rise of a new currency, a global currency; one which the Antichrist will use for his evil kingdom. If the dollar falls, watch out. Lord Jesus come!!

Prophecy Update: August 17, 2018

I am following several stories that are very depressing. I am not depressed however. In JC Ryle’s book on the end times he says, “I believe that the wide‐spread unbelief, indifference, formalism, and wickedness, which are to be seen throughout Christendom, are only what we are taught to expect in God’s Word. Troublesome times, departures from the faith, evil men waxing worse and worse, love waxing cold, are things distinctly predicted. So far from making me doubt the truth of Christianity, they help to confirm my faith. Melancholy and sorrowful as the sight is, if I did not see it I should think the Bible was not true (Matt. 24:12; 1 Tim. 4:1; 2 Tim. 3:1,4, 13).” He said these things in 1867. Just as JC Ryle believed the Word of God, I think we do not need to be afraid of the things which God has already said would happen.

The Roman Catholic Church has real problems with immorality and then they cover it up. The New York times reported last week, “Catholic Priests Abused 1,000 Children in Pennsylvania, Report Says: Bishops and other leaders of the Roman Catholic Church in Pennsylvania covered up child sexual abuse by more than 300 priests over a period of 70 years, persuading victims not to report the abuse and law enforcement not to investigate it, according to a searing report issued by a grand jury on Tuesday.” Pope Francis said that one in fifty priests are pedophile. Christianity is being denigrated because of this evil.

Andy Stanley is in hot water again because he is advocating an old heresy. He is pushing Christians to unhitch themselves from the Old Testament. Al Mohler confronted him in an excellent article. “Getting ‘Unhitched’ from the Old Testament? Andy Stanley Aims at Heresy August 10, 2018.” Earlier this year, Stanley brought controversy when he argued in a sermon that the Christian faith must be “unhitched” from the Old Testament. He claimed that “Peter, James, Paul elected to unhitch the Christian faith from their Jewish scriptures, and my friends, we must as well.” Indeed, in the sermon Stanley did not argue that any specific Old Testament command should be nullified. Instead, he went even further and told his listeners that the Old Testament should not be seen as “the go-to source regarding any behavior in the church.” In his view, the first century leadership of the church “unhitched the church from the worldview, value system, and regulations of the Jewish Scriptures.” Andy Stanley could not be more wrong. Listen to Jesus:
“Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished. Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.”(Matthew 5:17-19)

Andy Stanley denied what Jesus said here when he said to Jonathan Merritt in a interview: “I’m convinced that we make a better case for Jesus if we leave the Old Testament or the old covenant out of the argument. We can make a better case for Jesus than the case Jesus made for himself?” Seriously, this guy is off the reservation. I would encourage you to stop listening to Andy Stanley until he repents of this heretical position which he has taken. Jesus said in John 5:39 of the OT, “it is they that bear witness about me.” Al Mohler went on to quote Stanley from 2016, ‘In recent years, Andy Stanley has encouraged getting over “the Bible tells me so.” He actually claimed in 2016 that the church veered into “trouble” when it began to make its arguments on the basis of the Bible. He cited “deconversion” stories in which people told him that they lost their Christian faith when they lost confidence in the Bible. He said: “If the Bible is the foundation of your faith, here’s the problem: it’s all or nothing. Christianity becomes a fragile house of cards religion.” In the interview Stanley affirmed again that affirmation of the virgin birth is not necessary. He had earlier stated, “If someone can predict their own death and resurrection, I’m not all that concerned about how they got into the world.” Problem is that the Bible is very concerned about how Jesus came into the world.

God has warned us that false teachers would arise and that they would seek to lead many astray. JC Ryle went onto say: “I believe that the grand purpose of the
present dispensation is to gather out of the world an elect people, and not to convert all mankind. It does not surprise me at all to hear that the heathen are not all converted when missionaries preach, and that believers are but a little flock in any congregation in my own land. It is precisely the state of things which I expect to find. The Gospel is to be preached “as a witness,” and then shall the end come. This is the dispensation of election, and not of universal conversion (Acts 15:14; Matt. 24:14). This is a very important statement because so many think that if we did church right, we would reach the whole community and everyone would get saved. NOT! Jesus told us the exact opposite. He said if they hated Me then they will hate you. This is a very uncomfortable truth, but suffering for the sake of the Gospel is exactly what we find in our world.

In Colorado, the baker who was cleared by the Supreme Court is being persecuted. Reuters had this headline: “Colorado baker in case of Supreme Court sues state over ‘persecution’ A Colorado baker who won a narrow Supreme Court victory over his refusal to make a wedding cake for a gay couple is suing the state after it launched another case against him for declining to create a cake for a transgender woman. “This lawsuit is necessary to stop Colorado’s continuing persecution of Phillips,” the written complaint alleges. Also named in the lawsuit are Governor John Hickenlooper and Cynthia Coffman, the state attorney general.” The left, those who Jesus would say are of their father the devil, continue to persecute Christians across the country.

Canada’s Trinity Western University (TWU) has quietly caved to judicial and LGBT pressure to remove its insistence that students agree to refrain from all sexual activity outside of traditional marriage. Only when the academic institution attempted to open a law school was the requirement challenged. In June, the Supreme Court of Canada — in a decision that many decried a profound violation of religious freedom — voted 7-2 against the university, saying, “A mandatory covenant is not absolutely required to study law in a Christian environment.” This is just one of many stories that I can site to show that Satan is putting on a full press court on Christians.

In America, Christians and states are fighting back.(I am so proud of America) Florida Gov. Rick Scott signed a bill passed by the state legislature in March that would require all Florida public schools to include a display with the motto “In God We Trust” in visible places on school property. The legislation is set to go into effect this week, the New York Post reported. Alabama public schools also began placing signs with “In God We Trust” in prominent places within school buildings because of recently passed legislation that went into effect in July. Additionally, lawmakers in Arkansas and Tennessee passed laws requiring public schools to post the phrase. Arkansas public schools rolled out “In God We Trust” posters in November after the state passed legislation in August allowing the motto to be displayed on school property, and Tennessee lawmakers passed a law in March requiring public schools to post the national motto in a visible area of school property.” We should pray that God will bless the efforts of these states and that God will send revival.

The nation of Hungary is fighting back against all of the anti-Christian bias. “In a time when most of Europe is in the grips of atheism, there is a nation where Christianity seems to not only be holding its own but some say is thriving. Imagine a government that is unabashedly Christian, that thinks Christian values are worth defending, that wants to protect and even nourish the family.” Now they even beat the anti-Christian George Soros group dedicated to harming all Christians.
The British press had this headline: “EXPELLED: Hungary wins the war against ultra-liberal billionaire George Soros, who has decided to move his foundation from Budapest to Berlin.” Hungary’s constitution is explicitly Christian and says that marriage is between one man and one woman and that life begins at conception. It even includes the phrase, “God bless the Hungarians. The Hungarian government says, “Taking in persecuted Christians is our moral and constitutional duty.”

I am praying that President Trump has the guts to throw George Soros and his organization out of the USA like Hungary did. Dave Hodges said in his recent commentary: “Sitting at the heart of all of America’s problems is a man named George Soros and he continues to destroy this country with impunity. The left is marching toward a New World Order characterized by the loss of civil liberties and the destruction of capitalism. This will end with compliant sheep living in stack and pack cities after a genocidal purge as foretold by Bill Ayers and the torch is being carried by George Soros.” George Soros funds ANTIFA, radical abortion groups, and anarchy in our country. He is behind the push to purge the internet of conservative points of view. The left is now unhinged and believe that it is time to use violence against all of the people who have a Biblical worldview or who hold to pro American views. This anger and hatred is from Satan. I hope that you are praying with me that God would preserve our country. Please pray what Pres. Lincoln said at Gettysburg: “that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.” Amen!

Prophecy Update: Aug.10, 2018

 

On my heart this week are two issues. The first is the West Bank and the desire of the Trump Administration to make a peace deal in the Middle East. The second is the civil war in the United States.

My first concern is the peace plan; I am always alert to anyone who wants to write a peace deal for the Middle East because that is what Anti-Christ will do to start the tribulation period. In this case we do not have any details about the peace deal but we do have some of the activities of the Trump Administration that effect the deal. This week, it was revealed that the Administration is seeking to end the refugee status for the Palestinians. In internal emails, Jared Kushner advocated a “sincere effort to disrupt” the U.N.’s relief agency for Palestinians.

 

Report: US plans to strip Palestinian descendants of refugee status. In effort to remove Palestinian refugees issue off the negotiating table, Jared Kushner reportedly plans to eliminate the UN relief agency (UNRWA) and resettle Palestinian refugees in neighboring countries; in emails obtained by Foreign Policy, Kushner writes to his colleagues: ‘It is important to have an honest and sincere effort to disrupt UNRWA. It perpetuates a status quo, is corrupt, inefficient and doesn’t help peace.’ The United States has been funding UNRWA since its establishment in 1949 following Israel’s War of Independence, and most of US presidents have supported the agency. But the Trump administration has come out against the agency, cutting more than half of its funding. Many in the US and Israel claim the agency merely perpetuates the Palestinian refugee problem rather than serving as a solution to it, keeping the hope of Palestinian return to lands that have been part of the State of Israel for 70 years alive.”

 

It is clear that two forces are coming up against one another at the same time. God is working to bring home more Jews so they need more land and the Trump Administration just came up with a plan to give the nation of Israel more land—and it is in the West Bank, what Israel calls Judea and Samaria. This is stunning on many levels. It comes against the forces of evil that wish to destroy Israel.

For 70 years the Palestinians have used ‘refugee status’ and ‘right of return’ arguments for Israel to give back the land.  At the UN they have a specific agency dedicated to helping the Palestinian refugees called UNRWA. “Created in December 1949, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) is a relief and human development agency which supports more than 5 million registered Palestinian refugees, and their descendants, who fled or were expelled from their homes during the 1948 Palestine war as well as those who fled or were expelled during and following the 1967 Six Day war.” The agency provides funds to Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Gaza Strip, and the West Bank for the refugees. “By trying to unwind UNRWA, the Trump administration appears ready to reset the terms of the Palestinian refugee issue in Israel’s favor—as it did on another key issue in December, when Trump recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.”

 

Just like he pushed NATO to pay their fair share, Trump has pushed the Arab states for not doing anything to help the refugees so he is asking them to resettle them in their own lands. This is stunning and another example of why God put Donald Trump in the White House, no president would even consider doing something like this. Since Anti-Christ confirms a peace deal, could this be the deal that is confirmed?(this proves that Trump is not the anti-Christ as some claim) Trump is backed in his efforts by Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Egypt, and the United Arab Emirates which is even more stunning. Saudi Arabia has been very harsh against the Palestinian Authority and has actually backed Israel in their condemnation of the Palestinians.

Since May the whole world has changed, the US pulled out of the Iran deal, moved the embassy to Jerusalem, and reinstated Iran sanctions. All of the necessary conditions for the Gog Magog prophecy to be fulfilled are in place and now the peace deal is in the works. Wow, what a year.

The other stunning development since last year is the support of Israel by Saudi Arabia. I see no reason for this except the Iranian threat and war with Iran. The Iranian aggressiveness in Syria, Yemen, and Africa is causing the Saudi’s to turn to Israel for help. Israel is fighting in Syria, killing and putting pressure on the Iranians. Cannot wait to see how long the peace deal is going to be for. If the Trump team says it is for 7 years, lift up your eyes for our redemption draws closer!

 

Now to my second topic which is related to the first. A civil war is brewing in the United States. All that Donald Trump is doing is infuriating the progressive communist left and they are throwing out more threats than they ever have. On June 27^th USA Today had this headline:  Poll: Almost a third of US voters think a second civil war is coming soon. Amid widespread political polarization on issues like immigration and recent public confrontations of Trump administration officials, 31 percent of probable U.S. voters surveyed said they think “it’s likely that the United States will experience a second civil war sometime in the next five years.” Sarah Huckabee Sanders and Kirstjen Nielsen experiences at restaurants suggest a ‘soft’ civil war is well underway. It will get worse unless we learn to stop hating each other.

 

EXPERT: AMERICA COULD BE “OVERRUN” BY DEEP STATE Calls for prayers from God-fearing Americans. Mike Adams calls upon Christians and God-fearing Americans to send their prayers for the United States into the heavens because the deep state criminal cabal trying to destroy it are growing bolder. The problem for the deep state, Antifa, and all of their cronies is how can they start the war and then blame it on Trump and all who voted for him? Antifa is the George Soros group meant to destroy the USA. “The principal feature of Antifa groups is their use of direct action, harassing those whom they identify as fascists, racists or right wing extremists. Conflicts are both online and in real life.” Just recently in Portland the police arrested Antifa thugs before they marched on an ICE office and found many weapons. They are a dangerous group and want to start riots etc. I fear that a false flag attack will be the strategy that they make. It is not widely reported but they have started shooting border agents and cops.

Antifa is training people to up the ante in violence with the end goal of destroying our government and removing Trump from office. I can imagine the left shooting into a crowd of people and then leaving all kinds of literature as if it were a conservative group. CNN will have a ball blaming Christians and conservatives all the while they know it is the left.

China censors the internet so that you cannot say anything that contradicts the communist dictators. The Democrats want the same system in America. Reason magazine ran an article called, “Senate Democrats are Circulating Plans for Government takeover of the Internet.” This week Alex Jones was shut down by Google and Youtube. Democrats are using Russian hacking as an excuse to shut down fake news. Their definition of fake news means no more Fox News. This from Zerohedge: One day after what appeared to be a coordinated attack by media giants Facebook, Apple, Spotify and Google on Alex Jones, whose various social media accounts were banned or suspended in a matter of hours, the crackdown against alternative media figures continued as several Libertarian figures, including the Ron Paul Institute director, found their Twitter accounts suspended.” Another example: Facebook has banned Republican congressional candidate Elizabeth Heng’s campaign video ad about communist crimes that led her family to flee Cambodia for the U.S., claiming the platform doesn’t allow “shocking, disrespectful, or sensational” content.

 

It is shocking that anyone who has escaped communism will be shut down if you talk about it on social media. As we get closer to the Lord returning, we will see more and more censorship. America is in the midst of a fight over informing people. President Trump calls out the lies and manipulation of fake news and the push back has been violent. All of the threats of violence in the USA are birth pangs. God said that the love of many would grow cold. The Antifa riots are an example of this as they hit, hurt, and attack anyone who believes in the constitution and capitalism. The NYTimes hired someone who wants the death of all white people. The New York Times is digging in its heels, defending its hiring of Sarah Jeong to its editorial board even as she sent multiple racists tweets. In past tweets, among other things, Jeong said that “old white men” were “lemmings,” said that white people would “go extinct soon,” and used the hashtag #CancelWhitePeople. “We hired Sarah Jeong because of the exceptional work she has done covering the internet and technology at a range of respected publications,” the Times wrote. The left controls the media, schools, social narrative, and many people are standing up to the deception coming from them.

 

At the heart of the conflict in America is a spiritual battle. Jesus said that a nation divided against itself cannot stand. The greatest and most important conflict in America is over the view that our rights come from God. Christians still believe that these truths are self-evident, that all men are created equal and endowed by our creator with certain inalienable rights. The left is dedicated to the eradication of those rights because they believe that our rights come from government. The more that God blesses Christians and answers our prayers, I see the USA standing. When God decides enough is enough, He will bring anarchy on our nation to judge it for all of our rebellion against Him in government: abortion, idolatry, and immorality. Government forces protect at any cost abortion, immorality, and hatred of Christians. What has made Pres. Trump so dangerous to the anti-God people is that he supports Christianity and Judaism. His stand for Israel and Christians has been amazing. He also appointed ten evangelicals. This has enraged the left. Keep praying for peace and mercy from our Lord.

 

Prophecy Update: Aug.3, 2018

The motivation for most of the conflicts in the world today can be traced back to the work God is doing regarding Israel. The news outlets do not have a spiritual and biblical lens by which to interpret the world so they see the world through secular eyes. Satan is pushing the nations towards conflicts and his most important conflict is the one regarding Israel. He hopes that he can destroy Israel and all of his attempts have failed. He failed in Egypt when God raised up Moses, he failed with Haman in Persia, he failed in WW2 with the holocaust, and he failed with four major wars against Israel in the 20th century. Israel won all four wars and Satan changed tactics. Now he uses terrorists and Iran to fuel war against Israel and it too will fail. The outcome of the failure will be the rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem.

The past four wars against Israel were all Arab/Muslim states and took place in 1948, 56, 67, and 73. All of those wars were backed by the Russians, called the Soviet Union at the time. Since then, Satan has massaged anti-Semitism among Europeans who are trying to find a way to do Satan’s will. Many politicians in Europe are against the Jewish state and finding ways to back those who wish to destroy Israel. The next big war will include Russia and Iran as prophesied in Ezekiel 38-39. Teaser: all of Europe and NATO are worried about Russia, the Middle East is worried about Russia, America is worried and obsessed about the Russian Bear, you think Satan has people scared yet?

What has God been doing to accomplish His will regarding Israel? He has been establishing Jerusalem and solidifying the work to bring back the rest of the exiles. One thing needs to be made clear to the world, God wants to bring back the Jews to His Land and give it to Jews so that it can be a Jewish state. Another step in that process took place this past week when Israel passed the Basis Law regarding Israel.
PUBLISHED: 08:30 EDT, 29 July 2018 Daily Mail: Netanyahu defends controversial Jewish nation law –The new legislation speaks of Israel as the historic homeland of the Jews and says they have a “unique” right to self-determination there. Here is a portion of the bill:
1. The State of Israel
a) Israel is the historic homeland of the Jewish people in which the State of Israel was established.
b) The state of Israel is the nation-state of the Jewish people, in which it fulfills its natural, religious, and historic right to self-determination.
c) The fulfillment of the right of national self-determination in the State of Israel is unique to the Jewish people.
5. The state will be open to Jewish immigration and to the gathering of the exiled.
7. The state views Jewish settlement as a national value and will labor to encourage and promote its establishment and development.

“A hundred and twenty-two years after [the founder of modern Zionism Theodore] Herzl made his vision known, with this law we determined the founding principle of our existence,” Benjamin Netanyahu said. It is so exciting to see that God is fulfilling His Word to us in our day. Amos 9:14-15 says, “Also I will restore the captivity of My people Israel, And they will rebuild the ruined cities and live in them; They will also plant vineyards and drink their wine, And make gardens and eat their fruit. “I will also plant them on their land, And they will not again be rooted out from their land Which I have given them,” Says the LORD your God.” It is God who is planting them in the land and it is God who will keep them there. No one will be able to push them out. Wars will come and Satan will lose all of them including Armageddon!
What was the response of the world to Israel’s new law? EU condemns Israel’s new nationality law, Egypt Slams Israel’s Jewish Nation-state Law, Foreign Policy had this to say: But most dangerous of all is the stipulation that “the state views Jewish settlement as a national value and will labor to encourage and promote its establishment and development.” This is the world coming against what God is doing, they see a Jewish State as racist, evil. It goes against all that the New World Order stands for. This will be used by Satan to increase war and Russia will be at the heart of much of it.

Syria: The President of Syria, Bashir Assad, has fought a civil war for the last 7 years in his country. Seven years ago, many felt that Assad would lose the war. The President of the USA at the time, Barack Obama said that Assad had to go. Assad has survived this civil war because of the help of Russia and Iran. As the war winds down, a newspaper in Lebanon had this headline: ‘Back to the Status Quo’ and the article said that things are going back to the way they were before 2011 when the war started. Assad has promised another massacre in the Idlib province to finish off the rebels in his country. The Kurds hold part of Syria in the north and the Idlib province is also in the north on the border with Turkey. Russia and Iran are entrenched in Syria and will leave when God destroys them in the Gog-Magog war!
Jerusalem Post had this article on Monday 7/30, “AS U.S. PUSHES FOR MIDEAST PEACE, SAUDI KING REASSURES ALLIES: Saudi Arabia has reassured Arab allies it will not endorse any Middle East peace plan that fails to address Jerusalem’s status or refugees’ right of return, easing their concerns that the kingdom might back a nascent US deal which aligns with Israel on key issues.” This is another example of Jerusalem being a millstone around the neck of the Nations!
Most of the NATO nations have turned on the Jews accept the USA and God is cursing NATO with the threat of Russian invasion. Gratefully, some European Nations have stood up to the anti-Semitism but that has been very little very late. NATO is divided because Turkey is the enemy of NATO. NATO does not fund itself adequately, they want the USA to do all of the work. The USA is pushing back with Pres. Trump telling NATO to increase their military budgets, too late! Russia sees the weakness and they are exploiting it. What has really irked Russia is that the Baltic States have joined NATO.
Lithuania: On February 16, 1918, Lithuania was re-established as a democratic state. It remained independent until the outset of World War II, when it was occupied by the Soviet Union under the terms of the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact. In 1990–1991, Lithuania restored its sovereignty with the Act of the Re-Establishment of the State of Lithuania. Lithuania joined the NATO alliance in 2004 and the European Union as part of its enlargement in 2004. Putin was irate. Wedged between Russian ally Belarus and the Russian Baltic Sea exclave of Kaliningrad, Lithuania is worried that it could be the next target of Russian aggression following invasions in Georgia in 2008 and Crimea in 2014-15.

Latvia: In the reassessment period of the Soviet history that began during the Perestroika, the USSR in 1989 condemned the 1939 secret protocol between Nazi Germany and herself that had led to the invasion and occupation of the three Baltic countries, including Latvia. Newsweek had this headline in 2016, COUNTING DOWN TO A RUSSIAN INVASION OF THE BALTICS.

Estonia: On 16 June 1940, the Soviet Union invaded Estonia.[16] The Red Army exited from their military bases in Estonia, some 90,000 additional Soviet troops entered the country. Molotov had accused the Baltic states of conspiracy against the Soviet Union and delivered an ultimatum to Estonia for the establishment of a government the Soviets approve of. Estonia is afraid of the next invasion look at this recent article: Political Magazine had this: They Will Die in Tallinn’: Estonia Girds for War With Russia: “The head of the tiny NATO member’s special forces details his country’s preparations for a conflict many here see as inevitable.” By MOLLY K. MCKEW July 10, 2018 The Baltic states are all gearing up for war. They remember when the Russians invaded them in the past and they want to fight to the death this time. It is possible that Russia will use the Baltics as their practice field before they invade Israel.
Russia is playing a dangerous game with God. They are backing the Iranians in Syria. Look at this article: RUSSIAN ENVOY: ISRAEL AGREES TO REMOVAL OF IRANIAN TROOPS 85KM FROM GOLAN. As I have been telling you for months, Russia lies about removing Iran, now they are lying about moving Iranian troops back from Israel border. Iran has the goal of destroying Israel and Russia says this: “They (Iran) are playing a very, very important role in our common and joint effort to eliminate terrorists in Syria,” Russia’s Ambassador to Israel Anatoly Viktorov told Channel 10 in an interview on Tuesday.” If Iran is playing an important role for Russia, they are allies. The Bible once again is right concerning history and prophecy! Iran is in a freefall economically, this will lead to war: “It seems a week does not pass in which more European companies announce that they are avoiding Iranian markets like a deadly plague. And the divestment from Iran’s dangerous economy comes without any tangible saber rattling on the ground from the Trump administration.” Pulling out of the Iran deal has increased the likelihood that the Gog-Magog prophesy will be fulfilled sooner.
Finally, it is Thursday morning Aug.2nd and Iran is threatening to attack the Strait of Hormuz. “Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard is expected to soon begin a major naval exercise that could demonstrate its ability to shut down the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial conduit for global energy supplies, US officials say.” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned Iran on Wednesday that Israel, together with an “international coalition,” would not allow the Islamic Republic to close a key regional waterway. War with Iran is in the air because Iran is falling apart and they are desperate. Pray for peace. Iran wishes to murder Christians and Jews and God is judging the nation. God has promised us that the wicked will fail. Stay hopeful.

Prophecy Update: July 26, 2018

A secular news reporter was being interviewed on the Israeli Syrian border and she said something amazing, she said that Syria does not exist anymore. “Russia, Turkey, and Iran run the country formerly known as Syria.” She did not know the prophecy regarding those nations attacking Israel written over 2500 years ago. When the secular media reports about current events that are part of Biblical Prophecy, then you know something is up.

The last few weeks have painted a picture of what is happening to bring about the Gog-Magog prophecy. Promises have been made about moving the Iranian army away from Israeli territory. Those promises are a fantasy. The promise is made by the Russians and the Russians have no intention of helping Israel and the United States move Iran out of Syria. Yet, Vladimir Putin made the promise to both Netanyahu and Trump.
July 12th, New York Times: Netanyahu Says Putin Agreed to Restrain Iran in Syria
May 29th, Newsweek: RUSSIA MAY MOVE IRAN’S MILITANTS FROM ISRAEL’S BORDER IN UNPRECEDENTED DEAL ON SYRIA, REPORTS CLAIM
July 11th, Haaretz: Analysis: Netanyahu May Offer Putin: Remove Iran From Syria for Lifting of U.S. Sanctions on Russia
July 16th, Times of Israel: Putin says he and Trump agreed on securing Israel’s border with Syria. Here is one sentence from that article, “Trump, for his part, noted that “President Putin also is helping Israel.” He said that both leaders had spoken with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, “and they would like to do certain things with Syria having to do with the safety of Israel… We absolutely would like to work in order to help Israel, and Israel will be working with us. So both countries work jointly [for this purpose].”

Now here is my problem, nothing that has been said between Putin and Netanyahu and Putin and Trump faces up to the real problem in the region. The real problem in the region is that Iran is at war with all of the Arab/Muslim states, and they desire to destroy Israel. Nothing Russia, the USA, or Israel agree to do is going to deter Iran from their goal of complete annihilation of Israel. To make matters worse, Iran is falling apart and a war with Israel would help heal their domestic problems.

Here is the game that Russia is playing. They claim that all foreign forces must leave Syria. That means that Israel must leave the Golan Heights, because according to International Law, the UN, and the Syrians, the Golan Heights is Syrian. The Iranians have been asked to leave southern Syria, they are not going to leave because Israel refuses to leave the Golan. Russia behind the scenes reinforces the Iranian and Syrian view that Israel is illegally occupying the Golan at the same time they say they are encouraging the Iranians to pull back and make a buffer zone between them and Israel. Iran has stated several times in the last few weeks that it is time to destroy Israel, they are just waiting for the order!

July 10th, Iranian Commander: “Islamic Army” in Syria Ready to Destroy Israel. In a recent speech, the deputy commander of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) boasted that the “Islamic army in Syria” in the Golan Heights was awaiting orders to eradicate the “evil regime” of Israel. In the speech for the anti-Israel al-Quds Day in June, translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), Hossein Salami said that the dangers Israel faces today are greater than at any time in history. “Today an international Islamic army has been formed in Syria, and the voices of the Muslims are heard near the Golan,” he said. “Orders are awaited, so that… the eradication of the evil regime [Israel] will land and the life of this regime will be ended for good. The life of the Zionist regime was never in danger as it is now.”

God is rocking Iran right now. Two strong earthquakes at 5.9 and 5.5 struck western Iran, two more over 6.0 happened earlier in 2018. Tens of thousands of people have protested in Iran the last few weeks. The currency of Iran has plunged, and according to the BBC, “The rial has fallen to a new low — 90,000 against the U.S. dollar on the country’s black market, Iranian media said, despite government efforts to control the currency rate. The official exchange rate is about 42,000 rials to the dollar.” The protestors even chanted ‘death to Palestine’ as they are mad at the regime about caring for the Palestinians more than their own citizens. As Sohrab Ahmari tweeted: “”Death to Palestine!” Not to Israel. Not to America. But to Palestine,” to which he added, “Hamas and Hezbollah and Palestinian Jihad can kiss their Iranian funding goodbye if the regime falls.” These tensions in Iran will lead to Iran launching a war with Israel.
President Trump pulling out of the Iran deal was a game changer and pushed us forward towards war. It was the right thing to do! The Iran deal was a deal with the world against Israel. America is backing Israel again the way we should after 8 years of cursing Israel. With America and Israel standing together as they are, this has forced the globalists hand. They do not want to see a strong America and even hate Israel more. For these reasons, I believe that Israel is on the verge of a big war and it will be on three fronts.

Gaza front is in the south and west of Israel, this war has already started and it is ongoing. Thank God that Israel has been pounding Gaza and the terrorist group Hamas, really giving them a bloody nose. Israel does not do that very often because the world cries out against Israel every time they defend themselves. They say that Israel uses too much force—whatever. Hamas needs to be destroyed and Israel is defending herself with some real force this time. Who supports Hamas? Iran.

Next up is the war in the north with Lebanon. This war has not started but Hezbollah is entrenched in Lebanon, they are a proxy of Iran, and they have 200,000 missiles aimed at Israel. All of the money that Barack Obama gave to the Iranians (150 billion) is being used to bolster their forces for the coming war with Israel. As Iran has built a continuous corridor of their influence and army from Iran to the Mediterranean Sea; they have not had anyone stop them and this has increased their confidence that they can beat Israel. It is false of course, but they are living in a fantasy. The Iranian tiger moved troops into Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, Gaza, and beyond. The USA pulling out of the Iran deal has upset their plan, now they are desperate. Can you imagine President Obama saying what Trump said this week: his tweet to the Iranians said this: aldTrump
To Iranian President Rouhani: NEVER, EVER THREATEN THE UNITED STATES AGAIN OR YOU WILL SUFFER CONSEQUENCES THE LIKES OF WHICH FEW THROUGHOUT HISTORY HAVE EVER SUFFERED BEFORE. WE ARE NO LONGER A COUNTRY THAT WILL STAND FOR YOUR DEMENTED WORDS OF VIOLENCE & DEATH. BE CAUTIOUS! 11:24 PM – Jul 22, 2018

The third front will be on Golan Heights and from Syria. God said that Iran, Russia, Turkey, and several other nations will join in to destroy Israel. Turkey joined into the mix of hatred for the Jews. Erdogan of Turkey said this, ‘Spirit of Hitler’ apparent in ‘fascist’ Israel’s nation-state law. Israel passed a law protecting that Israel is a Jewish state and that made everyone go ballistic in the globalist capitals of the world. The UN, EU, everyone hated what Israel did. God wants to bring Israel back as Israel and as Jewish. It is sad that so many hate the Jews and hate the fact that Jesus is behind bringing the Jews back. The backlash in the USA is horrible, but our President stands up for this and for Israel. I hope more Christians will stand up for Israel! Netanyahu responded to Turkey: Netanyahu accuses Erdogan of ‘massacring Syrians and Kurds’ This week saw the ratcheting up of attacks from Iran into Israel.

IDF: Two surface-to-surface missiles fired at Israel
Missiles fired Monday morning from Syria were ballistic surface-to-surface missiles, investigation shows. On Thursday: 7/26 we have this:
Two rockets fired from Syria landed in the Sea of Galilee when the beaches and the water were full of tourists. The rockets were spillover from Syria’s long-running civil war, the Israel Defense Forces said. Israel is ready as the Iranians are ratcheting up the attacks.

Iran also made the threat to close the Strait of Hormuz. This water way is 30 miles wide and 30% of the world’s oil passes thru it every day.
“If Iran tries to close this strait crucial to the oil trade, the US Navy can unblock it quickly — Admiral Stavridis. While most military planners acknowledge that Iran could temporarily close the straits which serve as a waterway for an estimated 30 percent of the world’s oil supply, most also agree the U.S. Navy is capable of unblocking the strait.”
Its Thursday the 26th of July and I think if I wait another day I will have to add ten pages to this update. I believe that we are living in the last days and it is very exciting to pray and watch for the Lords return. Jesus told us to watch and pray, to be ready, to look for the signs of His coming. No one knows the hour or day, but we certainly have been taught by the Lord that we could know the season! I have not talked a lot about the pastor held in Turkey, but I am happy that he has been released from jail, but is under house arrest. This is a challenge from the god of Erdogan from Turkey against our God. I think I know who is going to win. Please pray for this pastor.
US Christian Pastor Freed From Turkish Prison
Christian Headlines • July 25, 2018
North Carolina pastor, Andrew Brunson, has been released from prison in Turkey, following his recent hearing. He is currently under house arrest in the country. He was accused of having connections to a terrorist organization that attempted a coup against the Turkish government in July of 2016.
