Prophecy Update: The Final Peace 6/6/19
I am enjoying rest and relaxation on vacation. It has given me time to reflect and think about the days in which we live. The book of Titus has been my obsession on vacation. When I go on vacation, I love to get up early and pray and study Gods Word. Titus fascinates me and I want to share with you some of my thoughts
Titus was on the Island of Crete and Titus was left there by Paul. Acts does not record when they went there but Titus was to finish what they started. The island was conquered by the Romans in 69BC and they ruled the island for 400 years. An interesting verse is in 1:12-13, it says, “One of themselves, a prophet of their own, said, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons. This testimony is true. For this reason reprove them severely so that they may be sound in the faith.” Imagine going to a culture described like this? Jesus said in Matt.24 and Luke 17 that the last days would be like the days of Noah and Lot. Those were days filled with violence, murder, and every kind of evil according to Genesis 6. Jude says that Lot lived in the days of sexual immorality. This describes the day in which we live.
I opened the newspaper this morning and I was greeted with murder, sexual immorality, and down right hatred for what is true, right, and good. Here is the headline: Officials Deny Mass Killers Sick Twisted Fame. This is referring to the killing of 12 people in Virginia. The murderer worked at the place that he gunned down his coworkers. What is the answer for this hatred, violence by the governor of Virginia? Get rid of guns. Seriously, limiting guns will not change the heart of man. The heart is deceitfully wicked, God wants a change in the heart. It is the refusal of the governor of Virginia to see that there is a spiritual war going on. Satan is inspiring people to do all kinds of evil, and just like in the days of Noah, no one will listen to the Godly, Righteous, leaders who are warning them of the coming judgment. This governor is the one that we should kill children who survive an abortion. Jesus came preaching ‘Repent for the Kingdom of Heaven is at Hand’ and they rejected Him. Noah came preaching that judgment was coming and they rejected him. Today, many Christians are saying ‘repent for the judgment is coming.’ They are not listening. Jesus predicted that the judgment would come upon them unawares because they do not listen to God’s representatives.
Miley Cyrus was also in the paper. Her new album has songs that glorify sexual immorality and drugs. One of them is called DREAM, which stands for “drugs rule everything around me.” Today, you have to be pro LGBT to be accepted in Hollywood and the music industry. These are the days of Lot for sure. Another pro LGBT singer, Katy Perry has a new album. She likes to say she grew up in the church but she has rejected the bigotry of the church because they do not accept homosexuality. As an American Idol judge, she likes to spread this message. The battle lines have been drawn in the church—the apostasy is in full bloom.
How about this stat—80% of Mexican territory is controlled by the drug cartels. Drugs alter the mind and destroy the body. Jesus warned us that if we destroy our bodies He will destroy us.(1Cor.3:17) This evil must be stopped on our border. God told the Levites how He wished someone would shut the gates of the Temple when they had defiled the Temple courts. I wish someone would shut our border so we can save the people being used by the terrorists, drug lords, politicians who just wish to make a buck off of others despair.
Then there is Israel! Since the Holocaust, never has the Jew been under so much threat of annihilation. Israel celebrated the capture of Jerusalem in 1967 and the world marched to kill the Jews. The marches in the cities of Europe were disgusting. Calling for the murder of every Jew in the world. Chicago and New York had marches that rivaled anything that happened in Paris, Berlin, or London. The Satanic inspired holocaust is alive and well in the Al Quds day marches where you will find chants, posters, and pronouncements of ‘kill the Jews.’ On this weekend in Chicago, 52 people were shot and 10 died. Connection? Of course there is a connection. Anytime a city like Chicago advances the cause of antisemitism, it will be judged by the living God. This is a spiritual battle that started when God made a covenant with Abraham and chose Isaac.
God’s love for Israel and the land of Israel is causing him to bring His people back. It is the election of God to fulfill His covenant. Satan hates it and is doing all he can to pervert this truth in the church, in the world, and kill Israel. God has given us watershed moments in history to teach us: the flood, the Exodus, the Days of Elijah, and Jesus death and resurrection. The watershed moment for us is May 14th 1948, because everything changed on that date. Satan could not kill off the Jew with Hitler, so now he has to use a new group to pick up the hatred and carry it forward. That group is Islamic Jihadism. Five Jihadist nations attacked Israel on the most important day May 14th 1948! The next day that will change everything will be the Day of the Lord! That day is coming fast.
Leading up to the Day of the Lord is the reestablishment of Jerusalem as the eternal capital of Israel. That happened this past year and it is a game changer. Zechariah 12 teaches us that it will lead to Armageddon. The only subject given more time in the prophets over the Day of the Lord is the days that lead up to that day! We are living in the days leading up to the Day of the Lord, the signs of the times. Jewish history tells us that God will bring His people into the land in the last days. It is happening folks and there is a lot more to do.
In the Judean wilderness, God did many miracles talked about in the scriptures. Today, God is bringing His people back-it is truly a miracle. Even though Israel is strong, rich and powerful, the prophets tell us that the ‘time of Jacobs trouble’ will happen. The Jews are still being killed in Europe, Angela Merkel of Germany just said that there is no safe place for Jews in Germany. Jews will be leaving Europe and America because of the persecution and hatred of the Jews. The one who teaches hatred of Jews is the same one who teaches hatred of Jesus and His people the Church. The Church looks forward to the Rapture and Israel looks forward to the suffering of the ‘Time of Jacobs trouble.” The worse thing that the church can do with regard to future suffering is to put their heads in the sand. God has a controversy with His people Israel and with all of the nations of the world. It will bring judgment on the nations and at the end of the judgment, all of Israel will be saved. Here is a few verses about this:
Is.34:8 tells us, “For the LORD has a day of vengeance, A year of recompense for the cause of Zion.” Micah 6:2 says, Listen, you mountains, to the indictment of the LORD, And you enduring foundations of the earth, Because the LORD has a case against His people; Even with Israel He will dispute.” Jer25:31, Listen, you mountains, to the indictment of the LORD, And you enduring foundations of the earth, Because the LORD has a case against His people; Even with Israel He will dispute. Joel 3:2, 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.”
What is the controversy? It is Zion, Jerusalem, and God is not happy with all of the nations who have persecuted the Jews and kept them from their land and their capital city. God will judge all of the nations over this and bring them to Armageddon for death!
The day that is coming is unlike any that came before it. No church, no spiritual insight can thwart this day or prevent it. Israel today is like Masada. The land is a protection for them. Just as the Romans came for the Jews at Masada, so Satan and his minions in the EU, UN, USA, Russia, Iran, and other nations will come for Israel. They will fail and only God will rescue Israel at that time. Then Israel’s rightful King, the Messiah will show up and set everything right in the World.
The Church does not teach its people about Gods will requiring suffering. God is sending suffering today, it is going to get worse. Our God, because He loves ethnic Israel, loves her territory and purpose is going to send the suffering of Revelation on the nations of the world. God made a promise and the world has determined that they will oppose the God of God’s and the King of King’s. (Psalm 2) The Modern return of the Jews to Israel sets up all of the prophecies. How can you flee Jerusalem if your not in Jerusalem? How can Russia and Iran attack Israel unless Israel is in their land and specifically on the Golan Heights? How can Jerusalem be a burdensome stone if Israel does not control their capital city?
Today, we see the miracles of God and the people of the world refuse to acknowledge that God has stepped into history. Just as the people of America need to repent and turn to the Lord, so Israel must turn to the Lord. Just as America refuses to repent which will lead to our destruction, so Israel will face a time of suffering that will cause a repentance. God will give grace to those who escape the sword. America needs to prepare for suffering. God will bring this country under His judicial punishment because it is prophesied. Every nation will turn against the Lord and that includes us. People think that God should never bring judgment. They do not know the Bible—
Today is D-Day and there are many lessons that we can learn from World War 2. One of the lessons is to declare what is good and what is bad, what is right and what is wrong, what is ethical and what is immoral, what is righteous and what is unrighteous. Can you imagine churches inviting the Nazis into their churches to teach the Christians about Nazism, the worship of Hitler? Can you imagine churches inviting Japanese into their churches to teach on the glory of worshipping the Emperor? They did not do this because they could discern between good and evil. After 9/11 churches invited Muslims to speak to Christians, people who teach, kill the Jews. It is in the education literature of the Muslim countries, it is chanted in the streets every Friday in several Muslim nations, and this hatred is spreading to the congress and streets of America. The UN invites Muslim leaders to speak on their hatred of Israel and Jews in New York, how in the world do they let them do this. They honor them and praise them for the murder of Jews and give them a lot of money. Our nations is still being pressured to give the Palestinian Authority money to pay terrorists to kill Jews. It still horrifies me that we did this. Yet, it is all prophesied to happen-it is seting up the ultimate hatred to come—the Antichrist. We live in special days, the Bible talks about these days more than any other. Every day is an adventure, I hope you take heart and live with a passion for Jesus
Finaly, I want you to look up a special I have been watching called Covenant and Controversy. It is a four part special that covers some great things about Israel and the end times. It is free on you-tube. Please watch it and let me know what you think about it
