Prophecy Update: July 20, 2018

Jesus said that the end times would be a time when ‘nation would rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom.’ (Luke 21:10) The last 20 years we have seen this played out with the Islamic invasion of Europe. The desire of the Islamists is to conquer Europe and the USA through “Civilization Jihad” and they have been successful so far. Pastor Erwin Lutzer wrote a book about this phenomenon in the USA called the ‘Cross in the shadow of the Crescent.’ The threat to America is real and we see it playing out in Europe. My update is going to focus on this battle for truth against all of the lies of the evil one.

Dr. Zuhdi Jasser of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy provided testimony to the House Subcommittee on National Security regarding the Muslim Brotherhood’s Global Threat on Wednesday, July 11, 2018. He said, “the primary global cancer cells for the development of Al Qaida, Islamic Jihad, and all of the offshoots, the primary source of training ground is the Muslim Brotherhood.” The model of the Muslim Brotherhood is violent Jihad, they cry peace and promote war. You cannot moderate groups like this. We could not moderate communism and we cannot moderate Islam. Frank Gaffney of the Center for Security Policy said this week, “Congratulations to Rep. Ron DeSantis and others who took on the Muslim Brotherhood yesterday in a hearing on Capitol Hill. They established that it’s a foreign terrorist organization and will be officially designated as such by the U.S. government. The only question is how soon and how comprehensively.” President Obama depended on the Muslim Brotherhood for his Muslim outreach!
For at least 10 years I have been following the Islamic influence on our government and specifically the Muslim Brotherhood. The term that comes from the Brotherhood is “Sharia-Supremacism” and means that the traditional doctrine of authoritative Islam becomes prominent in the USA. This form of Islam is a totalitarian legal system meant to dominate others. The Brotherhood means to force this view on the USA. It is sedition and meant to take the place of our constitution.
In Europe it has become a nightmare. It is called ‘Refujihad: Hijra, which means migration to colonize and invade a country.’ The Brotherhood has been using this method of ‘civilization Jihad’ for many years and in Europe it is working. Demographic Jihad is the term they use to encourage their people to outbreed non-Muslims. According to them, this pre-violent civilization Jihad is “stealthy, patient, seditious, and is to be pursued when violence is impracticable.”
In 1991, the Brotherhood published their plans for destroying the USA, they use civilization jihad, claim that anyone against Islam is a bigot and anti-Muslim to shut them up, then they move to establish Sharia law. We see this in Europe, we are only a few years behind the nightmare in Europe. The push back has started in Europe by people who see what is happening and they are resisting. For instance, Austria has acted against Islam by shutting down seven Sharia supremacist Turkish and Arab Mosques, expelled 60 Jihadi Imams, dissolved an Islamist front group, and banned foreign funding of religious office holders. The Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz said on June 8, “Parallel societies, political Islam and radicalization have no place in our country.”
The Brexit vote was a vote against the Red-Green alliance that dominates the European Union. “The ‘red-green alliance’ between far-left and Muslim parties is linked by shared anti-Americanism and anti-Semitism.” This movement is strong in the Democratic Party and dominates the Labor party in England. The last few weeks, the Islamists think that they have beat Trump and the Brexit supporters because they believe that the Labor party is about to take over Britain. Here is why:
“The resignation of Priti Patel from the British Cabinet after leaks that she had secretly met with Israeli officials to discuss aid to Syrian refugees has thrown the government of Theresa May into even greater upheaval. Already reeling after electoral failures earlier this year and unsuccessful Brexit negotiations, there is now the possibility that May’s government could fall. This prospect once again brings into focus demographic and electoral trends in Britain and across Europe. Earlier in 2017, the alliance between the far left and Muslim voters was not sufficient to bring a Communist anti-Semite, Jeremy Corbyn, to power as prime minister under the banner of Labour, but it might pull it off next time. In Europe, the problem is compounded by the presence of Muslim political parties that are reshaping national politics. That Corbyn, a vocal admirer of the IRA, Hamas, and Hezbollah and guest on Iranian television, is a credible politician at all says something about a sizeable portion of the British population. For British Jews especially, the message is ominous.”
The scriptures give us guidance on how to deal with invasion. God has been very clear in the scriptures that a nation has national boundaries and a common language and culture. God demanded that Israel protect her borders, sometimes through war and sometimes through deportation. The most important way to protect your borders is to assimilate aliens who come to live among us. The Red-Green alliance in the USA wants open borders so that they can destroy the USA.
Acts 17:26 says, “and He made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their habitation.” Notice first that it is God who makes nations with borders. Next, Numbers 15:16 points out, ‘There is to be one law and one ordinance for you and for the alien who sojourns with you.’” Israel was not to pervert the law by having two laws. This defines the USA today, we have perverted the law by having one law for the citizens of the USA and one law for illegal aliens. Sanctuary Cities are a perversion of law. One law would bring justice. What should that law be? Ruth defines for us what should be the attitude of the alien, Ruth1:16 ‘Your God shall be my God and your people shall be my people.’ This is assimilation. The push for open borders is a tool of our enemies! People who wish to live among us need to come legally and they need to assimilate to submit to our God mentioned in the Declaration of Independence. Without this, we will have civil disobedience and conflict.
Europe sees a backlash against this immigration of illegals. Hungary rebelled last year. “Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s government demonstrated Budapest’s frustration with proposals to spread asylum seekers around the continent by refusing to take any more migrants sent there under EU regulations.” Hungary also recognizes that George Soros, the leftist communist pushes organizations towards a one world government. In order to stop his influence in Hungary they passed the ‘Stop Soros’ law banning help for migrants. Anyone “facilitating illegal immigration” will face a year in jail. Italy, Poland, and Austria have also enacted laws defying the European Union push for the Red Green alliance and Muslim takeover of Europe.
Let me ask you some important questions: Why are the refugees from Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan not going to other Muslim nations? Why do the refugees have to go to Europe and not Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Indonesia, Iran, Kazakhstan, or other Muslim nations? Why does the European Union spend more time on fostering illegal immigration and not stopping Muslim wars in the Middle East? Why are the 215 million persecuted Christians around the world, being prevented from immigrating while Muslims are granted special status?
This is very important because the Muslim desire to take over the world has not abated. Europe is fighting back and it looks like the prophecy of Jesus is coming true in Europe. The elite deep state of the European Union are trying to force everyone to adopt their one world government view and they are frustrated by all who are standing up to them. George Soros said that “the election of Donald Trump is the biggest accident of the New World Order.”
Imagine this scenario with me: The New World Order power brokers are still fostering anarchy in Africa and the Middle East to transform Europe and the USA. (700,000 Africans are heading to Europe as I write this) They want to destroy Christian Europe and Christian America. As they are successful, Europe is crying for a Savior. They rejected Jesus as the Savior and they are looking for one. Who do you think George Soros will offer to them? That is right, the new world order wants to present their god, the Anti-Christ! All of the violations of biblical nationalism are attempts to reestablish the tower of Babel. Trump and Putin have vowed to destroy the New World Order. Each has a different reason. Trump has committed many sins agasint the New World Order but Russia is not one—Israel is the biggest sin against George Soros and his friends.
I will end with this, Nikki Haley gave a speech at the Heritage foundation about the USA leaving the UN Human Rights Council, it is because we defend Israel and they don’t. God bless the USA for blessing Israel! Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.

Prophecy Update: July 12th 2018

In the last three years, Russia’s intervention in Syria has been a cause of concern for many in the United States. The inability of the US to intervene in Syria caused a vacuum of power that Russia was only too happy to fill. The result was the intervention of Russia in the Syrian civil war. The Russians came in on the side of the Syrian President Bashir Assad. Iran, China, and most Shiite groups support the Assad regime. In 2016 the British paper the Independent had this headline: Oct.17, 2016:
US and Russia could ‘start Third World War over Syria conflict’, says Turkey
‘If this proxy war continues, let me be clear, America and Russia will come to a point of war’

They called it a proxy war and most of it has been a proxy war except for one cold hard truth: Russian forces are fighting in Syria on the border with Israel. In the last two years Russian troops have not only supported Syrian troops but have also assisted and fought alongside with Iranian troops! This is why I am very skeptical of the meeting going on in Russia between Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel and Vladimir Putin of Russia. This is the ninth time that they have met in three years.

Ezekiel 38 says, vs.8 “After many days you will be summoned; in the latter years you will come into the land that is restored from the sword, whose inhabitants have been gathered from many nations to the mountains of Israel which had been a continual waste; but its people were brought out from the nations, and they are living securely, all of them.” We learn from this verse that God is going to call Russia someday to the mountains of Israel to fight against Israel. Russia entered Syria in Sept.2015. This is the date that God began the fulfillment of Ezekiel 38:8. Yet, Israel meets with Putin and they think he is an ally. Netanyahu said he “very much appreciates the excellent direct contact I have with President Putin. It is very important to Israel’s national security.” Netanyahu is expected to stress Israel’s continued opposition to any Iranian presence in Syria. While that is Israel’s public position, the talks are expected to concentrate on ensuring that Iranian forces, Hezbollah or Shia militia forces do not penetrate into southern Syria along with Syrian Resident Bashar Assad’s forces.’

So you see my problem: for eight of the meetings that Israel had with Russia, nothing has stopped Iran from setting up shop on the mountains of Israel in the Golan Heights. Has God already put it on the mind of Putin to attack Israel? Putin has done nothing of any significance to stop Iran from fighting in southern Syria, and attacking Israel. In fact, Iran attacked Israel today (Wed.7/11/2018) sending a drone into Israel which Israel blew up. The last week, Russia has conducted air strikes in southern Syria with the help of the Iranians. The Iranians are now dressing in the Syrian army fatigues so that Israel cannot distinguish between Iranian troops and Syrian troops. Do you think Russia is going to help stop that? Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said, Iran is one of the key players in the region and it would be absolutely unrealistic to expect it to abandon its interests.” One of its highest interests are to destroy Israel! Ezekiel goes on to say:

“Therefore prophesy, son of man, and say to Gog, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD, “On that day when My people Israel are living securely, will you not know it? You will come from your place out of the remote parts of the north, you and many peoples with you, all of them riding on horses, a great assembly and a mighty army.” Ezekiel 38:14-15

As Israel and Russia meet in Moscow, will Netanyahu point out the obvious that Russia has done nothing to stop Iran from moving into the Golan area and attacking Israel? Does not Russia know that Israel is living securely? Do not the Arab/Muslim states complain all of the time that Israel is too powerful and use disproportionate force against her enemies? Israel was just listed as the 8th most powerful nation in the world by U.S. News and World Report. They studied 80 countries and Israel was pointed out to have success in pharmaceuticals, technology equipment, innovation, and diamonds.

Notice that at the time Israel is growing in power and strength, NATO is failing as a military alliance. For many years, Russia has been the focus of NATO cooperation, but when the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, what purpose was there for NATO? That has been the source of much debate over the last 27 years and many in America have pointed out that NATO has become obsolete. From a speech in 2011, listen to this:
“In one of his last major addresses, then-Defense Secretary Robert Gates, a Republican who served the administrations of both Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama, warned of a “dim, if not dismal future” of “military irrelevance” for NATO if Europeans didn’t invest more. Under NATO bylaws, members are supposed to spend 2 percent of their GDP on defense. Apart from the U.S., only four of the 27 other member countries do.

“The blunt reality,” Gates said in the 2011 speech in Brussels, “is that there will be dwindling appetite and patience in the U.S. Congress — and in the American body politic writ large — to expend increasingly precious funds on behalf of nations that are apparently unwilling to devote the necessary resources or make the necessary changes to be serious and capable partners in their own defense.”

This argument has been around for awhile, President Trump is stating the obvious when he questions the reason for NATO. His argument against the socialist states of Europe not paying what they promised is an old criticism. Europe has always depended on Americans for their defense and Trump pointing it out does not make him the enemy. It is the reality; if Russia attacked Europe, Germany and France are not coming to the aid of anyone, period! They want America to do it. European pacifism encourages Russian aggression. We have been warned and many are not listening. In 2017, General Sir Richard Shirreff, former head of NATO wrote a book about a war with Russia in 2018. Much of the book was about Kalingrad being the center of the war. Consider this headline today:

New Satellite Images Show Russia is Secretly Preparing for War www.neonnettle.com/news/ © Neon Nettle. “Several reports have detailed a disturbing new trend of Moscow’s rapid modernization efforts to improve its westernmost military facilities in Kaliningrad ahead of the summit. The area is a strategic enclave of Russian territory located between Poland and the Baltics.”
The book I read last year was described like this in the press:
Former Nato commander’s new book predicts invasion of Baltic as Putin bids to ‘make Russia a great power again’ 2017 War with Russia, by General Sir Richard Shirreff, paints a disturbing picture of potential nuclear conflict taking place next year (2018). Russia has been preparing for war in very open and clear ways. Problem is that Europe is not preparing but appeasing. Moscow ordered millions of people to practice going into bomb shelters. When have we done that in America? Do we even have bomb shelters anymore?

When Nato was started it had two purposes, to counteract a strong Germany because they started two world wars and to oppose the Soviet Union. The reason NATO was formed was because the UN had no power to stop the USSR. Germany was divided into West Germany and East Germany, so it was in the interest of West Germany to stand with America. Today, that is not the case. After the Soviet Union fell, NATO expanded into East Europe. Russia has said that this was a provocation because NATO wanted to overthrow Russia. The Gaurdian reported: In April 2009, Mikhail Gorbachev expressed his outrage at the way Russia had been hoodwinked by the west in the years following German unification in 1990. After all, he told the German tabloid Bild, the western powers had pledged that “Nato would not move a centimetre to the east”. The failure to honour this commitment had poisoned Russia’s post-cold war relations with the west. “They probably rubbed their hands, rejoicing at having played a trick on the Russians,” he said. The Russian president, Vladimir Putin, agrees. At the Munich security conference in 2007, he pointed to the threat posed by Nato’s expansion and asked: “What happened to the assurances our western partners made after the dissolution of the Warsaw Pact?” In March 2014 he repeated the accusation that “they [the west] have lied to us many times, made decisions behind our backs … This has happened with Nato’s expansion to the east.”

Russia is bitter against the West and they sense the weakness. NATO cannot win a war against Russia because it is divided and weak. Turkey has turned to be an enemy of the USA and Israel and they are the largest army in NATO. I do not see the Turks fighting Russia anytime soon do you? I do see Turkey joining Russia when they attack Israel. That is biblical prophecy and it perfectly pictures the day in which we live. This is why the NATO meeting and Israel Russia meeting this week are so important.
In a spate of interviews ahead of the summit, NATO Ambassador Kay Bailey Hutchinson enumerated the many ways that Russia threatens Europe and U.S. interests. But while the threats she mentioned – political subversion through social media, nerve agent attacks in Great Britain, support for Syrian dictator Bashar Assad, violations of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF) treaty, and annexation of Crimea – are all major threats, they are not the main threats that the U.S. faces today. Moreover, NATO has been ineffective in confronting these malign actions by Russia. Russia is growing in its brazenness and it will attack Israel in the near future—God said it 2500 years ago. Caroline Glick said this week: As for President Trump, despite the bloviations of his critics, he bears no responsibility for NATO’s irrelevance. Trump did not cause NATO to have little role to play in fighting the key threats to American and global security. NATO has had nearly three decades to figure out how to do that. But it failed.

Prophecy Update: June 15th, 2018

This week I would like to do an overview of what has taken place since the four blood moons in 2014-2015. I think that this overview will give us a good understanding of where we are at in bible prophecy. I was inspired to do this because of an article outlining the attack on Benjamin Netanyahu from the State Department in 2015.
Here is the general outline:

2014-2015: the Four Blood Moons
Sept.23 2015: the Bethlehem star showed up, it appears every 2000 years.
Sept. 23 2017: the Revelation 12 sign. The woman being Israel, God is raising up Israel for the last day prophecies to come true. Following the sign of Israel is the sign of the rise of the antichrist system. That is happening as we speak.

In the midst of these six clear biblical signs a lot of things have taken place that will blow your mind. In between these six signs I want to outline for you the birth pangs that have taken place. But first, what happened this week that spurred my thinking on this subject. World Net Daily had this headline: “Proof Obama sent your money to defeat Bibi in Israel election.” ‘The U.S. government was informed of the overtly political agenda of OneVoice Israel and OneVoice Palestine – to defeat Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu – but gave the groups American taxpayer money anyway.’ Way back in 2015 when Benjamin Netanyahu ran for prime minister of Israel, the USA interfered in their election. The State Department funded groups to defeat the Prime Minister. As you have done to Israel, so it will be done to you. If you want to know why Clinton lost the election, you do not have to look farther than Gen.12 when it promises if you curse Israel you will be cursed. The article goes on to say, “It is clear from these emails that the Obama State Department was aware of OneVoice’s opposition to Netanyahu and support for Abbas – whose son was one of its leaders – at the same time State was doling out hundreds of thousands of U.S. taxpayer dollars to it.”

You cannot curse Israel and not get burned by the hand of God. Here are some of the things that took place in 2014: A war was started by Hamas in the Gaza Strip. The war included using the people from the Gaza strip as human shields. This, the press in the West especially refused to talk about. Israel won the war but they were blamed for everything and the terrorist organization Hamas was praised by the western media for fighting against Israel. The anti-Israel stance of the world was just beginning.
On Israel northern border, Syria was fighting a civil war and it took a turn for the worse. As the Syrian army was losing the Russians and the Iranians began intervening in very direct ways. Here is what happened:

On June 25th 2015, the United States Supreme Court voted to redefine marriage. This decision put America in the Sodom and Gomorrah corner.

On July 14, 2015, the USA signed the JCPOA agreement with Iran. This decision put us squarely on the side of the Iranians against Israel. It was the most anti-Semitic decision I had seen in years.

As these things were happening, Iran was moving troops into Syria to help there buddy Bashir Assad, the President of Syria. The president of the USA said that there would be a red line if the Syrians used chemical weapons, they used them and we did nothing.

On Sept.23, 2015, the Bethlehem Star showed up. This star can signal the soon appearance of the Lord Jesus.

Finally on September 30, 2015 Russia entered Syria and they have not left. Iranian troops entered earlier to help Hezbollah defend the troops of Bashir Assad and practice for the day they would attack Israel. This appearance of both Iran and Russia on the northern borders of Israel is prophesied to happen in Ezekiel 36-37. The birth pangs are getting closer and closer. The hatred of Israel was growing and the world was coalescing around that hatred. Several terrorist attacks in Europe against Jews were hushed up by the media.
2016 was a year when the birth pangs got closer and closer.

March 2016: Candidate Donald Trump spoke at the annual AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee) convention in Washington D.C. He mentioned that he would move the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem because Jerusalem was the eternal, undivided capital of Israel. This was a game changer in world politics. For those of us who see the world through prophetic and spiritual lenses, this was a throw down against Satan and the New World Order. He also came out very strong for Pro Life issues and leaving the Iran deal. Satan is always responding to what he sees God doing. So Satan had to act quick to reassure his evil servants that Jerusalem would not fall under Gods will.

April 21st 2016: UNESCO, the UN Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization said that Jerusalem is not Jewish. The Palestinian Authority asked for the vote and over fifty nations voted that Jerusalem does not have a right to the Western Wall, or a right to anything in Jerusalem. I think that Satan saw that God was raising up Trump who would actually do what he said and that started a cascading of evil.

June 23rd 2016: Brexit, a vote against the New World Order was the first serious threat to the European Union. The backlash was swift, calling Brits bigots and anti-immigration etc. The EU is falling apart today because more nations are rebelling.

November 2016: Donald Trump won the election, a person who is against the New World Order and for nation states. The backlash and attack against this vote was swift. Every threat and accusation has been hurled at this man and his supporters.

December 23 2016: the UN trying to stop what God was doing, the United Nations Security Council voted that all Israeli settlements are illegal and a violation of international law. Including Jerusalem! WOW—the world was throwing down against what God was doing. God was preparing the ground to once again reestablish Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

February 2017: President Trump immediately told the world to come up with a better plan for Iran or he would leave the deal. Now he was putting pressure on the nations. He attacked Syria, killed Russian troops and made it clear that he was not going to back down. He threatened nuclear war with North Korea so that they would come to the bargaining table.

July 19 2017: UNESCO struck again by stating that Hebron, where David reigned for 7 years and Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob are buried is not a Jewish city. It is very clear that this is spiritual warfare in the heavenlies over cities. Satan has controlled Jerusalem thru Gentiles for 2000 years and he does not want it to go to Israel, nor does he want Hebron to fall. But fall it will, soon Israel will fight and claim Hebron for their own.

Sept.23, 2017: the Revelation 12 sign.
December 6th 2017: Trump announces that he will move the embassy and does not sign the waiver from the 1995 law that said we must move the embassy. The world had a heart attack.
The UN voted again and said that Jerusalem is not Jewish and they condemned what Trump said he was doing.

May 14th 2018, USA moved the embassy. The most important prophetic event in our lifetime!! Why? The establishing of Jerusalem as the eternal capital of Israel means that soon the times of the Gentiles is over. The next step is to rebuild the temple. The Jews made a coin with Cyrus the Great, Lord Balfour, and Donald Trump on it to commemorate the reestablishment of Israel and Jerusalem. Cyrus is the great Persian king who God called in Ezra 1 to bring the Jews back and rebuild the Temple. Lord Balfour is the British official who make the Belfour Declaration in 1917 to reestablish the state of Israel after world war one, and President Trump did what no one else had guts to do, stand up to the nations and declare Jerusalem the capital of Israel. Just days before the embassy move the US left the Iran deal. That has caused the nations of the world to unite against us.

Zechariah 12 tells us that the nations will hate this decision and will come and make war someday against Israel over this decision. That war is Armageddon! Before we can have Armageddon we have to have the rapture and the rebuilding of the temple. Also, we have to have Israel occupying and ruling over Judea and Samaria, what the world calls the West Bank. West Bank is a term laced with anti-Semitism because it intimates that only Jordan has a right to rule over Jerusalem and Judea and Samaria. The Settlement movement into Judea and Samaria has been steadily growing and taking the land back. It will complete the job soon. I believe that we are very close to war in Israel where Israel will take all of her land back, the land God is giving her! I am pleading Amos 9:15 today, God says, “I will plant them in their land and they will not again be rooted out from their land which I gave them says the LORD your God.” Ezekiel 36 promises that all of the cities, Hebron, Shiloh, Bethlehem, Jericho, and Bethel just to name a few will be given back to Israel. Get ready for some fireworks!! There are many more details to this outline that I had to leave out. I hope to talk about them with you soon!

Prophecy Update: June 8th 2018

One of the clear evidences that we are in the end times is the treatment of Israel. The nations of the world are arrayed against her and treat her with contempt. This is why the United States is such an anomaly. When President Trump showed kindness and favor to Israel, he was attacked in hateful ways that mirror the way Israel is attacked. I want to explore this sign of the end times in this update.

There is a deep seated hatred of Israel in Europe. With Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Europe visiting France, Germany, and Britain this week, I want to revisit the rise of anti-Semitism in Europe. Netanyahu is not going to friendly places, Britain, France, and Germany have defended Muslim immigration and the Iran deal. The subsequent attack on Jews from the Muslim community has been hushed up or openly denied. The Washington Times said this:
“In our own time of hyperpartisan anger and resentment, when everyone seems to be mad at somebody, there’s a resurgence of anger at the Jews in Europe. Physical assaults on Jews average twice a week in France, Jews in Germany worry about open anti-Semitism among migrants and refugees from Syria and Iraq, a new libel law in Poland prohibits attribution or responsibility to Polish complicity in the Holocaust, synagogues in Sweden were targeted for vandalism after the United States relocated its Israeli embassy to Jerusalem, and English Jews demonstrated in London against anti-Semitism in the British Labor Party.” May 28th 2018, Washington Times.

“Jews worry too much. That seems to be the point of a recent article in the otherwise sensible Economist. Sure, two German rappers won that country’s highest music award by bragging their torsos are “better defined than an Auschwitz inmate’s” and vowing to “make another Holocaust.” But, says the Economist, the intended targets of this aspirational Holocaust were “unclear” and could “possibly [be] rival hip-hop artists.” From these two recent articles, if I were Jewish I would be leaving Germany and France now.

Consider these two articles one from 2016 and the second one from this week?
On November 9 2016, an anti-racism demonstration was going to be held in Umeå, Sweden, in commemoration of Kristallnacht (the night in 1938 in which 400 Jews were murdered in Germany, and 30,000 Jewish men arrested and sent to concentration camps). There was just one catch: the Jews in Umeå were not invited to the demonstration. The reason given, according to one of the organizers, Jan Hägglund, was that the demonstration would be “perceived as an unwelcoming or unsafe situation for them.”
June 4th 2018: Swedish Minister to PA Arabs: We will fight with you and for you
“Swedish Foreign Minister Margot Wallstrom pledges to ‘fight’ for Palestinian Arabs. Sweden’s foreign minister told Palestinian Arabs that her country will “fight with you and for you,” prompting pro-Israel activists to accuse her of encouraging violence against Israelis.”

What these two articles illustrate is that anti-Semitism is alive and well in Europe, Sweden is in full out hatred of Jews and all Jews should leave this anti-Semitic country because they will not protect you. The foreign minister Margot Wallstrom has a history of hating on Jews and Israel.

This is why the meetings this week between Netanyahu and the leaders of Europe are so important. I have no doubt that this will prompt the haters of Israel to go farther than they ever have. Netanyahu said that he had two agendas, Iran and Iran. The two agendas are: block Iran’s aggression in the region and continue pressure on Iran against its nuclear program. As if anyone wanted it made clear where Iran stood on these meetings, the Ayatollah Khamenei made it clear on Monday: Netanyahu said, “Just yesterday, Iran’s leader [Ali Ayatollah] Khamenei, yesterday he said again that Israel is a cancer that has to be eradicated, will be eradicated from the earth. “This is amazing that in the beginning of the 21st century, somebody talks about destroying Israel. It means destroying another 6 million plus Jews. It’s quite extraordinary that this goes on, but this is what we face.” So how did Merkel respond to this message?

Merkel then spoke, continuing with her support of the nuclear deal, stating that Germany “supports Israel’s right to security and have said this to Iran all along. We have the same goal that Iran must never get a nuclear weapon. The difference between us is how to do that.” While she stated that Iran’s “regional influence is worrying, especially for Israel’s security” she reported that Germany would “make every diplomatic effort to make use of our influence on the issue of Iran’s ballistic program and its activities in Yemen and the presence of Iran’s army in Syria.” I believe that actions are louder than words. Merkel’s actions are to defend the Iran deal. That deal is supplying money and arms to Iran to destroy Israel. If you want to help Israel, you scrap the deal. As soon as Merkel says she is staying with the Iran deal, everything else she says is bogus. This is a woman who defended bringing in more Muslim refugees and denied they were raping women and attacking Jews. In 2015 she said, “Merkel pledges to protect Muslim faith in an ‘undivided’ Germany, She also said that Islam belongs to Germany as much as Judaism.” Her vision for Germany will drive the Jews from the land because you cannot defend the rights of Islam and Jews at the same time. Der Spiegel magazine said this of Angela Merkel today (Wednesday 6/6/2018), “Once upon a time, the books will say: Angela Merkel watched Europe fall apart, and she has not intervened.” You cannot intervene when your too busy defending the indefensible.

The same thing happened in France, with everyone’s head stuck in the sand, France denies that it is the type of culture that will repeat the holocaust. Every day that France protects Sharia law, no go zones, and Muslim freedom to do whatever they want, they will be destroyed under the weight of their multicultural god. Netanyahu brought the same message and got the same response, Iran wants to kill us, develop nukes, take over the Middle East, Macron: were staying in the Iran deal! So how did the French press treat Netanyahu, here are the headlines: “French protests against Netanyahu’s visit: No red carpets for war criminals.” ‘French and Arab organizations in France called for a protest in Paris on Tuesday to reject the visit of the Prime Minister of the Israeli entity Benjamin Netanyahu, saying it is “shame to receive the butcher of Gaza.” Macron also said that France supports the “two-state solution,” and claimed the transfer of the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv “caused death.” He said he made it clear to Israel’s prime minister that he was “concerned about the events of the last few weeks on the Gaza border that threaten the peace process.”
What is clear so far from Netanyahu visit to Europe is that Europe is primed for another of God’s prophecies to come true. God promised that He would take His people Israel from the north and bring them into the land of Israel and they would rebuild the ancient cities. A lot of Jews need to start coming so they can rebuild many of those cities in the West Bank. As Germany and France have made clear, they support Hamas, a terrorist organization, and support their terror campaign against Israel by blaming Israel for protecting the border and giving Hamas a pass for all of the attacks on Israel.
Macron also purports himself to be the leader of the whole world. Consider this headline: “Macron wants to build French-led new world order – but no-one is listening.” How about this one: “Emmanuel Macron To Launch 10-Nation Military Coalition Next Month.” Macron wants to have a new group to replace the EU and challenge the USA. “Defense ministers of France, the U.K., Germany, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Belgium, Portugal, Denmark and Estonia will sign a letter of intent in Paris in June, officials told me, pledging to develop a common strategic culture, share analysis and foresight on trouble spots that may require intervention and work to coordinate their forces for future operations.” This sounds like Daniel 2 and the development of the ten nation coalition. Daniel said that the statue would have ten toes that are ten nations, kings. It is a little bizarre that this is happening now.
Get this prophetic timing: At the same time that Israel is being strengthened by God, powerful and prosperous, a leader in Europe wants to unite the world around himself (Macron). Another leader, Erdogan of Turkey wants an Islamic army to wipe out the Jews. This is happening as the nations support Iran! This is setting up the Gog Magog prophecy and the return of the Jews from Europe. A final empire is coming on the earth that will exhibit the hatred of Israel that Germany, France, and Great Britain are exhibiting at this time. John saw the same thing that Daniel saw, he wrote of the final empire in Revelation 17—the beast is rising! The final empire that God predicted would be on the earth is coming!

It is Friday morning and I have waited to write this last part until Netanyahu met with May from Britain. Well, as I expected, Britain supported Iran over Israel. In fact, Britain, France, and Germany are asking the USA to support their Iran shenanigans. Europe Asks U.S. for an Exemption From Sanctions on Iran, NY Times 6/5/2018. The US has crushed Iran by pulling out of the Iran deal. God is using this action to force the nations into hating Israel even more. God is exposing the attitudes of their hearts. The attitude of the hearts of the Europeans is to support Islam over Christianity, to support anti-Semitism over supporting Israel. That has become very clear this week. Once again, God has used President Trump as a spear to the world: “In a letter to senior Trump administration officials, European foreign and finance leaders this week tacitly acknowledged that their efforts to preserve the West’s nuclear deal with Iran were failing.” Trump forced the nations to choose between Iran and Israel and they chose Iran. This is prophecy coming to pass in our day—what a day to be alive! Pray for the Christians who are persecuted for their faith and for the Jews under threat of harm in Europe. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. I want to write ten more pages on this subject—next week! My blog is prophecy4i.wordpress.com

Prophecy Update: June 1st 2018

There is a civil war in the United States that mirrors the war going on in the world. That war can be characterized as the globalists versus the nationalists. The globalists like to paint everyone who loves their nation as a fascist or Nazi. Loving your nation is Godly, we learn from the Scriptures that God made the nations for a purpose. Globalism keeps us from Gods purposes for nations. The globalists are for a hierarchy of authority that can tell nations what to do. Brexit and the election of Donald Trump were repudiations of globalism.

The loss of the Judeo Christian worldview in Europe has caused a failure in ethics. When this worldview was rejected it had to be replaced. The replacement has been a disaster. I checked several articles about the loss of the Christian faith in Europe and here are some quotes from those articles:

“The “relativistic” thought that arose after Europe rejected its own Christian roots has created a cultural weakness that has allowed the resurgence of aggressive Islam, warned that the West is squeezed between a radical “post-human” secularist ideology on one side, pressuring for changes to the fundamental concept of humanity, and the resurgent violence of the new Islamic “Caliphate” exploiting this weakness on the other.” It is this radical post human secularist ideology that is giving Islam more rights than Christians. Christians are being attacked by both Islamists and leftists.

EUROPE’S OFFICIALDOM ERASING CHRISTIANITY, “As the Dutch scholar Arnold Huijgen wrote, however, the house is culturally ’empty, The most remarkable thing about the house is that, as far as its account is concerned, it is as if religion does not exist. In fact, it never existed and never impacted the history of the continent. … No longer is European secularism fighting the Christian religion; it simply ignores every religious aspect in life altogether.”

Prime Minister Viktor Orban rails against European leaders’ insistence on mass migration. The head of Hungary was very clear that unless the leaders of Europe chose Christianity again, Europe would be lost. He said, “Christianity is Europe’s last hope.”

Melanie Philips spoke last week at Parkside Church in Cleveland. Her speech was “The War of Our World: The Eclipse of Conscience and Reason.” Her best-selling book Londonistan, about the British establishment’s capitulation to Islamist aggression, was published in 2006 and she followed this in 2010 with The World Turned Upside Down: the Global Battle over God, Truth and Power.

She said that “we live in crazy times. What is blindingly evident in the world is that everything is upside down. They want to bar people from college who believe that a man who has male parts is actually a man.” She gave many examples of this maddening political correctness going on in Great Britain. Of course this is going on in the USA also. Take the example of Black Lives Matter. They are committed to fighting racism but according to Commentary Magazine, they are very anti-Israel and anti-Semitic. “The leaders of Black Lives Matter have written profoundly anti-Israel manifesto in which they accuse Israel of “genocide” and “apartheid.” The manifesto endorses the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions movement and takes the view that the United States justifies and advances the global war on terror via its alliances with Israel. This makes the US complicit in a supposedly genocidal massacre of the Palestinian people.”

Philips said of this war, “It is obvious that since the 1930’s the Arabs have rejected every offer of a Palestinian State at the same time the world rejects the fact that the Jews are the only people who have lived in Israel as their national home land. The Left has told us that all of these people who are at war with the West, they can be appeased. If you tell the truth you are attacked, and it is like the Soviet Union. There is a connection between the Left and the USSR.” Secularism is destroying us from within, the Bible gives us reason and truth and that is rejected.

Why did the West turn on itself with self-loathing? Why is the West in rejection of Biblical values that have given us freedom and truth? Her reason may shock you, it is the Holocaust! Anti-western thinking came because the holocaust was a great moral failure. The holocaust revealed that the West’s belief in itself as the greatest exemplar of moral values was false. It happened in High German culture the pinnacle of reason and values and the enlightenment. Now the West is pushing transnational views which cut out nations and any Christian thought. This view is Marxist.

The worship of Man has given us communism and fascism. The worship of God through the Judeo Christian worldview brings peace and joy. Perfecting the world by man leads to cultural totalitarianism. The West has been transformed, the leftist culture took over the education institutions, the long march through the institutions is what they call it. They have entered the church and taught a false gospel with man at the center of the universe. They push equality, a secular equality, the insistence that there can be no differences; where no one can say that their values are better than any other value. She quoted Professor Richard Dawkins, “The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.” This is the view of the left.

It is the God of the Old Testament who taught us to love your neighbor and love God. Any factual evidence is rejected by the left because they stay true to their view that man can perfect the world without God. Bringing up God is evil for them. This battle in America has been going on for 50 years. It has been going on longer in Britain. The quote by Richard Dawkins is an example of how the left shows hate in defense of tolerance. The problem with dispatching biblical ethics for a new freedom is that there is no freedom in man. Man is good at enslaving others. The real enslaving is coming from an enemy that has moved within western culture. Jihadist Islam!

Is it all over for the West? As an American, I am profoundly optimistic about the future. I believe that the election of Donald Trump and the Brexit vote in Britain have deep cultural similarities, a deep desire to free ourselves from those who drowned out the Christian voice and those that loved their nation. It was a repudiation of the anti-western leftists! The battle is on: in Britain they are trying to attack those who voted for Brexit and in our country we have those who hate Trump. Our president is under attack each day because they hate those who voted for him. The news services explain that we are bigots for voting for the president.

Donald Trump believes in America and he will fight for us—he has done so much to protect Christians and has been named the most prolife and pro-Israel president ever.

Jesus said, “For nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places.” Matt.24:7
This passage says that although people will be in conflict, there will not be a repudiation of nations even in the end times. Nations which are made up of people groups, who have cultures, will still exist to fulfill this prophecy. Jesus is fulfilling this prophecy now and the Christians are taking advantage of the time we live in. This gives me great hope that a revival is on the way in America! Satan will pervert it, that is for sure but he cannot stop God from saving a great many people. Eventually, the world will turn against the God of the Bible. This backlash against the Left gives us hope.

The rise of communism, fascism, socialism, and secular humanism are all connected to a rejection of the Bible. God has preserved the truth in His people. The rejection of born again Christians and Jews are for the same reason. Israel is rejected because the Bible teaches that God will bring the Jews back to their land. They reject Israel’s claim to the land because they cannot endure the fact that God gave the land of Israel to Jews. The rejection of born again Christians by the left is consistent with their hatred of the Bible or revelation from God. The fact that the United States is built on the belief that our rights come from God, the God of the bible, is hateful to the left.

Although this battle will continue until the Anti-Christ comes on the scene, I believe with all my heart that a revival is on the way. Not a revival that will save the West—a revival that will save people who will be raptured out of this sin sick world. God will then move to accomplish His goal of saving Israel. Romans 11:25 tells us, “for I do not want you to be uninformed of this mystery so that you will not be wise in your own estimation that a partial hardening has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in and so all Israel will be saved.” God is accomplishing His promises to Israel and the Church—Praise Him today!

Prophecy Update: May 24th 2018

The last three weeks have been amazing when it comes to Biblical prophecy. I think that the world is overwhelmed with military and political intelligence and we are moved by prophetic intelligence. How people look at current events shows who they are listening to and who they believe in. Those who see the move of the embassy to Jerusalem as a political move and not a spiritual move are showing that they are not moved by what God is doing on the earth.

The move to Jerusalem included the declaration that the city is the eternal capital of Israel and that is what all the nations of the world have a problem with! Why do the nations have a problem with Israel declaring Jerusalem their capital? Because the Bible is clear that this decision is a spiritual decision as well as a political one. Ps.2:2, “The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers take counsel together Against the LORD and against His Anointed.” The UN demonstrated this with their decision to declare that it was a violation of international law for America and Israel to move the embassy. Joel 3:1-2, “For behold, in those days and at that time, When I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem, I will gather all the nations And bring them down to the valley of Jehoshaphat. Then I will enter into judgment with them there On behalf of My people and My inheritance, Israel, Whom they have scattered among the nations;
And they have divided up My land.” Notice that God says before the war can start, the restoration of Israel has to happen. Today, Israel is peaceful, powerful, and accomplishing the things God said would happen with them. This offends the world because the world is under the power of their god—Satan! Israel is going to get more powerful and more peaceful because the Bible predicts that. When people say peace and safety, then sudden destruction will come. Are you prepared? What has happened the last three weeks is the calm before the storm.

First: On May 8th the USA left the Iran deal.

Second: Iran criticized the move by the USA by threatening harm to America.

Third: Iran launched an attack on Israel that was foiled. The Israeli counter offensive dealt a decisive blow to Iran and her troops in Syria. These first three events are part of the process of several biblical prophecies happening at the same time. The alliance of nations listed in Ezekiel 38-39, who will attack Israel, they are already on the border of Israel. When Iran attacked Israel it was the first time and this war is moving towards fulfillment quicker than many thought possible.

Fourth: Iran announced that they were going to start their nuclear program again because of what the US did. “It is just speculation, but some would say this could lead to the destruction of Iran’s intercontinental missiles and nuclear facilities in Elam (part of Iran; Jer. 49:34-39).”

Fifth: Syria and Israel will get into a war in that day (a phrase that applies to the time of the end), and Damascus will cease to exist as a city in one night (Isa. 17). When Israel defended themselves by attacking the Iranian positions in Syria, Syria attacked Israel. That is very dangerous for Syria because Damascus is going to be destroyed.

Sixth: The USA opened up the embassy in Jerusalem, this is big! May 14th is important and I want to remind you of the worlds mind about this. On May 13th 2017 the UN said, “Any action taken by Israel, the occupying power to impose its law, jurisdiction, and administration on the city of Jerusalem (Al Quds) are illegal and therefore null and void and have no validity whatsoever.” The UN response is testament that they are a tool of Satan. UN votes 128-9 to condemn US Embassy move to Jerusalem even after Haley’s warning.

Seventh: The nations of the world were in a rage against Israel and the USA. The interests of the world are that Israel does not own Jerusalem and God says the very opposite. The interests of the nations concerning the Iran deal have more to do with attacking Israel than protecting business. By the way, the businesses of Europe are fleeing Iran in droves!

Eight: Emmanuel Macron the president of France fashions himself the leader of all Europe. He did not like what the USA did in pulling out of the Iran deal and moving the embassy to Jerusalem. He called for a meeting with Putin of Russia and Merkel of Germany to stop the US and Israel. “Macron Heads to Russia to Save Iran Nuclear Deal” Iran has already lost 100 billion dollars because of what Donald Trump did. Russia and Turkey and Iran are all dealing with economic disasters!

Nine: Turkey called for a meeting with 57 other Muslim nations to talk about a Muslim army to destroy Israel and kill all of the Jews. “At a special summit in Turkey convened by President Tayyip Erdogan, they also pledged to take “appropriate political (and) economic measures” against countries that followed the United States in moving their Israel embassies to contested Jerusalem from Tel Aviv. “Army of Islam”: Erdogan’s Plot Against Israel, “What if an Army of Islam was Formed Against Israel?” The article openly called on the 57 member states of the OIC to form a joint “Army of Islam” to simultaneously attack Israel from the east, west, north, and south.

Ten: Turkey and Israel threw out each other’s diplomats.

These ten things are only a few of the things that have happened. Here is some information that goes with these ten things:

Saudi Arabia and some of the other Arab nations praised Pres. Trump’s decision to withdraw from the Iranian nuclear deal. An amazing thing about this is that Sheba and Dedan are in Saudi Arabia; and they will also ask Russia, Iran and the others if they are going to take a spoil and a prey when they attack Israel in the Battle of Gog and Magog (Ezek. 38:13). The Saudis do not join the attack on Israel, amazing!

Erdogan said in a speech to Turkish students in a London broadcast by state television. “Israel is a terror state. What Israel has done is a genocide. I condemn this humanitarian drama, the genocide, from whichever side it comes, Israel or America.” Erdogan was referring to the Gaza intrusion into Israel which Israel stopped.

Several news reports included this: “European Companies Flee Iran to Avoid US Sanctions. European companies are leaving the Islamic Republic of Iran in droves fearing U.S. sanctions after President Donald Trump’s decided to withdraw from the 2015 nuclear deal earlier this month. The regime in Tehran is “particularly concerned by the decisions of various European companies to halt their Iranian operations until the future of sanctions was clear,” several German newspapers reported on Monday. The EU Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker, who heads the bloc’s executive arm, proposed enacting laws to allow European companies to ignore the U.S. sanctions. This so-called ‘blocking statute’ could protect European firms from prosecution by the U.S. Treasury and other agencies.”

Who has pulled out of the Iran deal already? Boeing and there airbus deals with Iran, French company Total which dropped a five billion dollar deal with Iran, British Petroleum, Poland company PING, DZ bank from Germany, Italy company ENI, car companies Renault, Citron, and Peugeot, Danish company MERO and TOTIN, all totaling 100 billion dollars!
Iran has made new demands of the countries that want to stay in the deal. What are Ayatollah Khamenei’s main conditions?
• European powers should protect Iranian oil sales from the US sanctions and continue buying Iranian crude
• European banks should safeguard trade with Iran
• The UK, France and Germany should pledge not to seek negotiations on Iran’s ballistic missile programme and regional activities, both demanded by Washington
Iran is reeling because the opposite has happened and Iran promises to start up their nuclear program. I do not believe they ever stopped their nuclear program but that is another story.

What has become clear in this fight is that Europe does not stand with Israel but with Iran. The conditions are ready to fulfill the biblical prophecy of God calling the Jews home. Israel will take the West Bank and 2 million Jews will start streaming home. They do not have a home in Europe anymore. Consider this quote from last year: “For half a century memories of the holocaust limited anti-Semitism on the continent. That period has ended…renewed vitriol among right wing Fascists and new threats from radicalized Islamists have created a crisis confronting Jews with an agonizing choice. Do I stay or do I leave?”

Pray that the Jews leave Germany, France, Poland, and the Ukraine quickly because Europe has lost its mind. They are moving quickly to attack Israel and are supporting those who wish to destroy Israel. This does not bode well for Jews who live in those countries. Germany of all countries should be ashamed of themselves. Many Germans are appalled at Merkel and her deference to anti-Semites and support of the BDS movement. Let us pray that they can replace her and reclaim the Judeo Christian worldview and the Gospel! Pray for Europe to reclaim Christianity and love for Israel.

Prophecy Update: May 17th 2018

This past week has been extraordinary for several reasons. First I would like to tell you about our trip to the Dominican Republic.

We took 35 students and 5 staff to the Dominican for a mission trip. I was so proud of my students who worked so hard to serve the Dominicans. We did several things while there. We worked on several buildings, laying concrete floors, putting a roof on, and fixing things. Many of our students went into the classrooms of the school we were working with and they taught English and shared the gospel. Lastly, we played basketball. Our players taught the children in the school the game of basketball and we played three games (in three different cities). At half time of each of the games we shared the gospel. We shared the gospel with over 1000 people during the week and the Lord was glorified by His people. Pray for the Dominicans that God will keep blessing the school and their work to lead the children to the Lord. We all grew in our relationship with the Lord.

While in the Dominican, several important things happened in the world. The United States of America pulled out of the Iran deal and that has started a backlash in the nations.

From the Times of India: “France urges Europe to act on ‘unacceptable’ US Iran sanctions” PARIS: France’s economy minister Bruno Le Maire urged European nations Friday to defend themselves against US sanctions targeting foreign companies that trade with Iran, as the rift between Washington and its allies deepens.

From Euronews: “World reacts to US decision to pull out of Iran nuclear deal, “Do not let anyone dismantle this agreement. It is one of the biggest achievements diplomacy has ever delivered, and we built this together.” Federica Mogherini European Union.”

From AFP News agency: “Nations vow to save Iran Nuclear deal.

From Russia Today: “Iran warns US of response ‘stronger than they imagine’ if Trump scraps nuclear deal” “Iran will not violate the nuclear deal, but if the United States withdraws from the deal, they will surely regret it,” Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said on Monday, during a ceremony marking the 12th anniversary of the National Day of Nuclear Technology. He added Tehran’s response “will be stronger than what they imagine and they would see that within a week.”

In the last week, we have seen Iran attack Israel and Israel handed them a great defeat. The world has rejected what Trump did and they are in full rebellion. One liberal said this about it: “First and foremost, this unilateral act of reckless brinkmanship increases the chance of war. Second, like many of Trump’s actions, the pullout is a policy decision based on a lie: by every reliable metric, Iran was keeping up its end of the agreement. Third, the American decision will hurt the Iranian economy.” (Ted Rall Counterpunch news, May 16th)

With all respect to all of the liberals, the pullout of the Iran deal is the most pro-Israel and Pro-American thing we have done in 50 years. The Iran deal had two purposes, to increase Iran’s ability to destroy Israel and to attack Americans. All of Europe is showing its anti-Semitic side in the way they are reacting to this deal. Yes, they might lose some money but they will be standing for Israel against a regime that reports every day that they are committed to killing every Jew in the world. Emmanuel Macron of France has been very critical of the President. ‘He said on Thursday Europe would try to protect its companies doing business with Iran from U.S. sanctions, reimposed over Tehran’s nuclear program, but said giants like Total would make their own choices.’ Total, the French oil company, made the decision to stop doing business with Iran—a big win for Trump. Total CEO said, “With the sanctions the Americans are to impose, you can’t do business in Iran if you also have business in the U.S., and we have that on a large scale,” Skou told Reuters in an interview following the firm’s first-quarter report.

The president of the European Council has attacked Donald Trump’s “capricious assertiveness” after the US leader pulled his country out of the Iran nuclear deal and threatened the EU with tariffs on steel imports. In a letter to EU leaders ahead of their meeting Wednesday night in Sofia, Donald Tusk said that with friends like Donald Trump, the EU could ask who needs enemies. Mr Tusk said that confronted with challenges such as Mr Trump, Russia and China, the EU needed to be united “economically, politically and also militarily like never before” or risk being “a pawn” in global politics.
Let us see, the European Union wants to be more militarily independent of the USA? This is biblical prophecy coming to pass in our day. The reason is because the anti-Christ is going to use a military for his own purposes and that military will come out of Europe. The Europeans are woefully unprepared for war and do not have a good military, they rely on the USA for their protection. In fact, “Emmanuel Macron To Launch 10-Nation Military Coalition Next Month.”

Newsflash: PARIS — “Impatient with German foot-dragging on defense, French President Emmanuel Macron will bring together a 10-nation coalition of the willing next month designed to prepare European armed forces to take action together in emergencies, and to bind Britain into military cooperation as it leaves the EU. Defense ministers of France, the U.K., Germany, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Belgium, Portugal, Denmark and Estonia will sign a letter of intent in Paris in June, officials told me, pledging to develop a common strategic culture, share analysis and foresight on trouble spots that may require intervention and work to coordinate their forces for future operations.”
All of these nations are next to each other in western Europe minus Estonia. Does Macron read the Bible? Is this a sick joke or is this real? Remember all of the prophecies regarding a ten nation coalition in Daniel 2, 7, and Revelation 12, 17?

The timing of these things are surreal because they are happening the very week that we moved the US embassy to Jerusalem. This was on the 70th anniversary of the reestablishment of the State of Israel on the earth. This is fulfillment of Bible prophecy! God is establishing His capital on the earth again which He promised to do. When Solomon finished building the Temple the Lord said to him, 2Chron.7:12-16, Then the LORD appeared to Solomon at night and said to him, “I have heard your prayer and have chosen this place for Myself as a house of sacrifice. If I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among My people, and My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin and will heal their land. Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to the prayer offered in this place. For now I have chosen and consecrated this house that My name may be there forever, and My eyes and My heart will be there perpetually.”
Notice that the eyes and the heart of the Lord our God will be in Jerusalem forever! The Jews want to rebuild the Temple because this is the city which the Lord has chosen for Himself. At the celebration of the Embassy opening, 250 USA strong delegation attended the ceremony with 800 others, EU ambassadors declined to attend except Romania, Austria, Hungary, and the Czech Republic. Hamas organized the Nakba rebellion so that it would take away from the ceremonies and the world press lied about what happened. As 12 other countries have announced that they are moving their embassies, the world press viciously attacked Israel. They blamed them for the deaths of Gazan civilians who tried to break into Israel. The press refuses to tell people that the Hamas organization is a terror group who pays the people to go to the border and then they are killed for standing next to terrorists who use the civilians as human shields. CNN and the New York Times will never tell you that Hamas is a terror organization and that they are using the people as human shields to attack Israel. Egypt who feels threatened by Iran had enough and called the leader of Hamas in to dress him down and tell him to knock it off. Egyptian military officials told Hamas that Israel was going to kill the leadership of Hamas if they did not stop the protests and that Egypt would help Israel do it if they did not stop. You won’t hear this on the American news because most of the American news is committed to painting Israel as the bad guy. The Times of Israel reported: “PA official: Egypt asked Hamas to stop Gaza protests.” The so called “March of Return” initiated by Hamas is nothing more than an attempt to spread the news that Israel should not be in any part of the land of Israel!

The goal of kicking out the Jews has not stopped and will not stop. Let me remind you of something that happened in 1967. When Israel captured Jerusalem, the Prime minister was Levi Eshkol. Golda Meir became Prime minister in 1969. She said something that needs to be repeated when asked in 1971, why does Israel not give back Jerusalem and go back to the 1967 borders so that you can get peace? Her answer was, “four years ago we were at the 1967 borders and did not have peace! When Israel gave up the Gaza strip, everyone said that they would have peace and they got war. Every time Israel gives up land it gets war because the goal of those getting the land is to get all of the land. This tension will be with us until Jesus comes back! America blessed Israel this past week and I believe that God will bless the USA because of the tremendous decision to say to the world: Israel lives and her capital is Jerusalem! Vice President Mike Pence has been preaching to the world that God has put His people back into His land and quoted the Bible to prove it. When is the last time a Vice Pres. Quoted scripture to prove a point? Pray for the peace of Jerusalem we live in great times!

Prophecy Update: The Maginot Line and Israel, April 27th 2018

In 1940 the French were depending on the Maginot Line, a defensive system constructed to defeat Germany if they ever attacked France. “The German army had invaded France and marched on Paris multiple times in the century before its construction (1814, 1871, 1914) and so thinking was that the Germans would probably do so again.” The inability to define the threat and attack Germany in 1940 by the French is the opposite of what Israel is doing today! Israel is taking defensive actions against her enemies and not waiting to be attacked.

Ever since Germany defeated France in the Franco-Prussian war in the 1800’s Germany busied herself to plan for the next war. As generals make plans for how they would conduct a war against certain enemies, Germany’s generals planned on how to defeat France if war ever came. “Germany’s Schlieffen Plan, named after its chief architect, Count Alfred von Schlieffen, was both offensive and defensive in nature.”

Imagine you were in France in the 1930’s and someone in the press said that the Germans were our friends and they would never attack us. All of this money being spent on the Maginot Line is a waste, we just want peace. All of the peace loving Christian denominations would condemn the government for excessive military spending. However, France did build the Maginot Line because many knew that Germany still had the desire to attack and invade France.

This French line of defense was constructed along the country’s border with Germany during the 1930s and named after Minister of War André Maginot. It primarily extended from La Ferté to the Rhine River, though sections also stretched along the Rhine and the Italian frontier. The main fortifications on the northeast frontier included 22 large underground fortresses and 36 smaller fortresses, as well as blockhouses, bunkers and rail lines. Despite its strength and elaborate design, the line was unable to prevent an invasion by German troops who entered France via Belgium in May 1940. If you have a great army and pour money into defenses but are unwilling to use it, it will not protect you from a determined foe!

Fast forward to today, I hear the same thing I have read about prior to World War2. Passivism and blindness to your enemies’ intentions can lead to war on a grand scale. A German Colonel named Guderlien wrote a book about tank warfare in the 1930’s, it expounded on a new kind of warfare with the concentrated use of tanks. It was called blitzkrieg, it was never studied by either the British or the French. Today, America is blind to her enemies, most Americans do not consider that many groups and nations are calling for the overthrow and destruction of Israel and the USA. Americans have turned a blind eye to these threats and no matter how much the military warns the country, the politicians, the press, the churches do not believe! Israel has not turned a blind eye and they are prepared to fight and are already fighting!

In 1940, the French put 40 divisions in the south along the German border that set up behind the Maginot Line. North of the Maginot Line on the Belgium border, the French put another 40 divisions in case the Germans attacked through Belgium. The General in charge of French forces, General Maurice Gamelin had no plans to attack the Germans but to keep the war out of France. All the plans laid out for him were dreams and foolish to him. He put 5 divisions on the Swiss frontier totaling 85 divisions in all defending the French border. When Germany attacked through the Ardenne forest, the French did not believe that anyone would ever use that area to come into France, so he put his weakest troops there, numbering 10 divisions.

The French found out the date of the attack and watched 50 Wermacht divisions massed on the French border and the French did nothing. The Germans were on the move and the French ignored the reports. On May the 10th 1940 the Germans came—they attacked Holland and Belgium, with great speed they overran the armies of those two nations. As the French moved into Belgium, they had to deal with refugees coming toward them. Germany used the refugees as a weapon against the French. (Our enemies are doing this to America and Israel today) Within three days, the Panzer divisions had penetrated the Ardennes and were crossing the river into France, the French were so passive and their leadership kept believing a lie. The Generals in France kept believing that the main battle force would come through Belgium, never believing that the Germans could pour into France through the forest! One French General in the north named Georges, sat in a chair and sobbed when he heard that the Germans had broken through south of him. Seriously, all of the generals were broken in their spirits. Cowardice is the byproduct of passivism.

None of the counterattacks were pressed home by the French. As most of you know, panic set in and the rout was on. The Germans turned north and trapped the 40 divisions that went into Belgium, Gamelin could not believe that his plans did not work so he sacked commanders. One general said, “my country has been beaten, this is the work of 30 years of Marxism.”
Why did France fall? It is because they did not believe in their own country, they did not believe it was worth fighting for. Why is America in such a lowly place today? We have been weakened by false ideologies, the secular humanist invasion, and an inability to proactively attack our enemies. Israel does not have that problem!

Today, Israel is being surrounded by Iran who vows to destroy the nation and kill all of the Jews. Israel is attacking Iran in Syria. Israel sent her war planes to Iran, putting fear into Iran that Israel can hit her on her soil. Israel attacked Iranian forces in Syria, at least four times in the last 3 months. The proxy armies of Hamas and Hezbollah are stirring up trouble, Israel is dealing with them also. The Wall Street Journal had this to say, “Israel’s practice has been to strike targets in Syria that are involved with, among other things, the Iranian transfer of qualitatively new weapons to Hezbollah—but never to acknowledge it. So long as the Israelis said nothing publicly, neither the Iranians nor Hezbollah had to retaliate to avoid losing face. But with the Iranians losing at least seven Qods Force officers in the Israeli attack, and the Russians declaring Israeli responsibility, the Iranians have been exposed. Their media is now giving significant coverage not just to the attack but the declarations of senior officials like Ali Akbar Velayati that Iran will retaliate.”

Russia is helping Iran and hoping Iran can engage and defeat the Israeli’s. Russia has threatened Israel this week and Israel is not backing down. They are not like the French, they will carry out preemptive attacks on their enemies and that means the Russians are in the cross hairs. Do not believe the fiction that the Israelis will not attack the Russians, they will hit any enemy they do not care about who it is or what the international community has to say about it. The international community wants Israel dead, so why should they care what the international community says!

Iran is using so called civilians from Gaza to breech the border of Israel and Israel has repelled any breech. They are willing to use violence to stop the terrorists. George Soros, his communist buddies in the USA, and the Mexican government have sent so called refugees to our southern border and they want to breech our border. America needs to have the moral intestinal fortitude to call out these terrorists and stop them at our border. We need to attack the Mexican government for the years of aiding and abetting our enemies. Call them what they are, enemies of the United States of America. In spite of all of the trade between the two countries, Mexico aids and funds our enemies to come across our border and they do not try very hard to stop them. Hamas and Hezbollah have become associates with the Mexican drug cartels giving them money and arms. They shoot at people in the USA from the Mexican border, they send drugs and sleeper cells into the country and all the while they pay off the Mexican politicians with drug money. Corruption and governance plagues many countries south of the border. This type of warfare is called asymmetrical warfare.

Asymmetrical warfare uses the weaknesses in the Mexican government to exploit immigration to attack the US. First they attack the government officials in Mexico with bribes and threats of murder, sometimes they use abduction and kidnapping. Next they use the government official to give them access to information and ways they can subvert the USA. Next they smuggle their people into the US like MS13 gang members. They will use front groups and businesses to fund their illegal activity.

Israel is preempting her enemies and prepared to fight. Why has America not done the same thing? Why have we not attacked and fought MS-13 in Central America and South America? Al Qaida? ISIS? Hamas? Hezbollah? The problem has metastasized. The amount of sleeper cells in America dedicated to our destruction from groups like Hezbollah and Hamas could be activated soon because of the Iran deal. Iran has many times warned us that if we leave the Iran deal, they have many things that they can do to us. I pray that our FBI has not been so compromised that it actually can carry out its job of protecting Americans. As May will be the most dangerous month we have faced since Sept. 11th 2001, so it will also be for Israel. The world is against us moving our embassy and it happens to come at a time when Pres. Trump is going to pull out of the Iran deal. (he has not done so as I write this but all indications are that he will pull out by May 14th.) A former commander in Israel said this, “When I look at the month of May, I say there wasn’t a month of May so dangerous since 1967,” said Amos Yadlin in an interview with Israeli daily Yedioth Ahronoth. Pray for strength!

Russia and Israel are at loggerheads. Not long ago, Russia and Israel tried to work out how they were in Syria doing operations without hitting each other. Israel needs to fight in Syria because it is a failed state and it harbors the enemies of Israel setting up to fight Israel. As Iran and others set up shop and move military hardware into Syria, Israel promises to hit them. Israel needs to hit Iran, ISIS, Syrian troops, and a host of Islamic groups dedicated to destroy Israel. Russia supports most of these groups in Syria, so how are they not also at war with Israel.
What Russia just did shows that they are at war with Israel. Russia moved the S-300 missile defense system into Syria and are setting up shop. Russia said that if Israel hits their missile defense system there will be dire consequences. I guarantee you that Israel will either destroy the S-300 system or they will disable it with their technological wizardry!
Today, Israel struck Syrian troops in the Golan Heights because Syria fired on Israel. “Israel Strikes Syrian Army Position After Mortar Lands in Golan Heights” was the headlines this morning. The Israel Defense Force (IDF) on Monday fired on a Syrian army position in the Golan Heights in retaliation for a mortar that hit Israel’s side of the Golan Heights region. The Jerusalem post had this comment on this, “If Israel decides to carry out rocket strikes on the deployment locations of the S-300, the consequences will be catastrophic for all sides.” So Israel is already hitting Syrian troops and Iranian troops, eventually Israel will hit Russia. Israel needs to prepare for war with Russia in the midst of this conflict. It is prophesied in Ezekiel, the day is close at hand.

Over the weekend I have been thinking a lot about Iran. They have made aggressive moves to fulfill their desire to kill Jews and destroy the State of Israel. They have a new conference called the hourglass conference. The hourglass symbolizes the short time Israel has to live. Iran is strengthening its positions in Syria, Gaza, and Lebanon. Since Iran was invited into Syria to protect their ally Bashir Assad, they believe and declare that they have a right to build bases for their army and air force. They are shipping arms to Hezbollah and are building guided missiles in Lebanon. Anytime Israel acts to defend herself, Iran cries that they are breaking international law, firing on Syria etc. etc. It is all a front to kill and maim Jews!
Iran is committed to its goal to destroy Israel. Nothing is deterring it at the moment since the UN and Russia are on the Iranians side. The IDF must prepare for war because it is on their doorstep. America is there for Israel but America is tired of wars, we are underfunded and ill prepared for all of the commitments we have made.
In the last four months, Israel has launched attacks in Syria to defend against the Iranians. Iran has sent a drone into Israel with bombs on it, Israel blew it out of the sky. Iran is setting up bases and shipping a whole bunch of arms that they do not need for the defense of Syria, they need for the attack on Israel. More arms are coming in on civilian airlines, smuggling routes, and with the help of Muslim countries helping Iran defeat Israel. Over the weekend, Iranian military officials said they are ready to attack Israel at any moment. Russia is there for the Iranians and ready to defend them–do not believe the American press that says Russia is not helping Iran. Iran’s Mehr news agency quoted Salami as telling gathering in Tehran:

“Our fingers are on the trigger and the missiles are ready to launch, at any moment that the enemy wants to start something against us, we will launch. We have learned methods of overcoming our enemies. We can target our enemies’ vital interests wherever we want.”

God is defending Israel, bottom line is that the God of Israel does not need the allies of Israel. He is more than able to defeat Iran and the rabid anti-Semites in the world. God sent a message to Iran this past week–He sent an earthquake and a sand storm that was freaky! The earthquake was right near the Bushear nuclear power plant–message to Iran don’t mess with Israel! On April 18th I watched a video of the sandstorm that went through he middle of Iran, it was huge and like out of a disaster movie. God is very clear in Ezekiel 38–He is going to defend Israel against Russia and Iran and all of their friends who hate Israel. As we see Bible prophecy being fulfilled in Syria with the rise of Russia and Iran on the northern border of Israel, you can trust that God is going to fulfill His Word!
