The Bible promises peace and comfort to those who will faithfully put ALL their trust in God (no matter what the circumstances) ...
"You (God) keep him in perfect peace
whose mind is stayed (fixed) on You,
BECAUSE he trusts in You."
(Isaiah 26:3)
An example of a miraculous fulfillment of this remarkable promise of God can be found in the book of Matthew ...
"Now in the fourth watch of the night
Jesus (Yeshua) went to them, walking on the sea.
And when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea,
they were troubled, saying, "It is a ghost!"
And they cried out for fear.
But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying,
"Be of good cheer!
It is I; do not be afraid."
And Peter answered Him and said,
"Lord, if it is You,
command me to come to You on the water."
So He said, "Come."
And when Peter had come down out of the boat,
he walked on the water to go to Jesus.
BUT when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid;
and beginning to sink he cried out, saying,
"Lord, save me!" (BUT, when he took his eyes OFF of Jesus and focused on his problem ... he began to sink.)
And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him, and said to him,
"O you of little faith, why did you DOUBT?"
And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased.
Then those who were in the boat came and worshiped Him, saying,
"Truly You are the Son of God."
(Matthew 14:25-33)

The Bible warns a coming world leader (the "Antichrist") will “enforce” a peace plan (”covenant”) upon nation Israel. The Bible doesn’t say he wrote or negotiated this coming peace agreement, but warns he will “enforce” an agreement ("covenant") upon Israel. This enforced Peace Plan will start the clock on the prophetic 7 Year period sometimes called the "Great Tribulation", "the 70th Week of Daniel", and the “Apocalypse” (3.5 years/false peace + 3.5 years/Hell on Earth.)

--Jerusalem Post/Caroline Glick (Prophecies: The US will be "neutralized" ... then Russia and allies will invade Israel) "Neutralize" can mean Politically, Economically, Militarily, or any combination of the three. The Bible warns the US will NOT defend Israel when this coming war takes place. According to the Bible, Israel must stand alone ... with God. When Russia, Iran, Turkey, and their 'coalition' of nations attack and invade Israel, the U.S. will be unwilling or unable to help defend Her ...

The Bible promises blessings to those who will walk in faith and trust in God through even the WORST of circumstances ...
"The Angel of the Lord camps around (guards and protects) those who fear Him.
Blessed is the man or woman who TRUSTS in Him."
(Psalm 34:7,8)
"TRUST in the LORD with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding"
(Proverbs 3:5)
"And those whose faith has made them good in God’s sight
must live by faith"
(Hebrews 10:38)
"But without faith it is impossible to please Him,
for he who comes to God must believe that He is,
and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him."
(Hebrews 11:6)

Pope Highlights Bond With Muslims ...
--VOA News (Prophecies: The coming ANTICHRIST) The Catholic Pope is "bonding" with a religion who denies Jesus Christ is the promised Son of God ... and denies Jesus Christ was crucified and died on the Cross. The Muslim Allah is an enemy of God and God's Word ... (Prophecies ... False Prophets would rise and lead many) ("ALLAH"... was (and is) worshipped as the ancient Babylonian-Arabian MOON god)
"Do NOT be unequally yoked together with unbelievers.
For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness?
And what communion has light with darkness?
And what accord has MESSIAH (Christ) with BELIAL (Satan)?
Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever?
And what agreement has the Temple of God with idols?
For you are the Temple of the living God. (Promised to all who trust in the Death and Resurrection of Messiah ...)
As God has said: "I will dwell IN them and walk among them.
I will be their God, And they shall be My people." (This is part of the promised New Covenant ... see Jeremiah 31:31)
(2 Corinthians 6:14-17) (This is why God allowed the Romans to destroy the Temple after Messiah ascended.)
The Bible warns the Antichrist will have a Religious Partner called "the second Beast." We are warned a coming One-World Religious System will rise around the time of the Antichrist and Armageddon. It will deceptively be promoted under the "peace" banner ... and will use flowery and noble sounding words such as "celebrating diversity under a common set of shared principles" while criminalizing and eliminating all fundamental religious beliefs "which promote division and 'hate' rather than ecumenical harmony and diversity"... millions of believing Christians and Jews who refuse to deny the Word of God will be imprisoned and put to death.

--WND/EllisWashingtonReport.com (Bible Prophecies: Description of 'The Generation of Armageddon')
--WND (GOD'S LAW: Homosexuality) (Bible prophecies: The GENERATION of Armageddon ..."LAWLESSNESS") In the Bible we find God will execute distressful and painful judgments upon nations whom He has blessed. God's Word lists indictments against those nations and people who have turned away from God after being blessed by Him ...
Some of these indictments include: They have "Forgotten God"... they have "No Fear of God"... they call "Evil good" and "Good evil"... they do "That Which Is Right In Their Own Eyes" (not according to God's Word) ... and are in open rebellion as they arrogantly (and stupidly) "Oppose God's Law" and mock God's Word.
It is false doctrine in direct opposition to God's Word that teaches God's "love" approves of or accepts homosexuality. The Bible clearly says homosexuality and lesbianism are sin.
Jesus Christ (Yeshua Ha'Mashiach in Hebrew) was sent forth to save sinners (for we are all sinners who have come face-to-face with the fact we need a Savior to save us from our sins and from Hell). Jesus' first command was to "repent" which means to acknowledge our sin and turn away from our sin (no matter what it is) and turn back to God.
The Bible warns a
nybody who "defends" or "approves of" or "promotes" or "protects" this sin (or any sin) has openly declared themselves to be an enemy of God by trying to block His loving and gracious efforts to reach out and save them.
The Bible warns Sodom and Gomorrah were given as a dire warning and "EXAMPLE" for a coming generation ...
"As Sodom and Gomorrah,
and the cities around them in a similar manner to these, ( 5 cities were destroyed including Sodom and Gomorrah)
having given themselves over to sexual immorality
and gone after strange flesh, (homosexuality)
are set forth as an example,
suffering the vengeance of eternal fire."
(Jude 1:7) (Bible Warnings: The coming 'Apocalypse' ... We Will Know When We Are Close)
"And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes,
condemned them (Sodom and Gomorrah) to destruction,
making them an example
to those who afterward would live ungodly ..." (Prophecies: The coming 'Apocalypse' and Armageddon ..." The Day of God's Wrath")
(2 Peter 2:6) (The ASSURANCE of life in Heaven ... it's NOT too late!!!) (Prophecies: The coming "RAPTURE"... don't be "left behind")

In times of trouble . . .
"Whenever I am afraid,
I will trust in You (God).
In God (I will praise His Word),
I will trust in God
and I will not be afraid."
(Psalm 56:3-4) (Finding Hope and Comfort in Times of Trouble ...)
"The LORD is my Shepherd;
I shall not want.
He makes me to lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside the still waters.
He restores my soul;
He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His Name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil;
For You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You anoint my head with oil;
My cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life;
And I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever."
(Psalm 23) (Finding Hope and Comfort in Times of Trouble ...)
And Jesus Christ (Yeshua Ha'Mashiach in Hebrew) graciously tells us ...
"I AM the good Shepherd.
The good shepherd gives his life for the sheep."
(John 10:11) (God's Promise ...)

Obama Administration Secretly Working To Cut U.S. Strategic Nuclear Forces Even Further ...
--Inside the Ring (Pentagon) (Prophecies: The BIBLE'S DESCRIPTION of 'The Generation of Armageddon' includes "TRAITORS") Obama and the Democrat Party's DEFENSE policies are based on Marxist-Socialist (Soviet) doctrines and strategies of weakening, crippling, and destroying America's national defense ... NOT strengthening it. Simply step back and watch ... every Democrat Party defense policy now strengthens Russia-Islam-China's ability to attack and destroy us ... and weakens our Military's ability to defend and protect us.
--WND (Prophecies: The US will be "neutralized" ... then Russia and allies will invade Israel) If you step back and look objectively at the News Headlines over the past years (concerning Defense, Economic, Domestic, and Foreign policies) you will find it appears Obama and the core Democrat Party Leaders have been acting as agents of a foreign power (Russia-China and their allies) while undermining (and even sabotaging) the vital interests of America, Israel, and our Allies.

Both bin-Laden and Awkali's timely deaths have helped Egypt's Zawhiri consolidate and strengthen his grip of power over al-Qaida.

Note: Many people today do not know whether or not they (or their loved ones) will go to Heaven. Many have not been adequately (or honestly) taught what the Bible actually says and teaches ...
"For by GRACE you have been saved (from your sins and from Hell)
through FAITH (in Jesus Christ),
and that not of yourselves;
it is the GIFT of God, ("Grace" is getting something we don’t deserve…we can't earn this gift of life in Heaven)
NOT of works, (we cannot enter Heaven through any “good deeds” we have done ... or think we have done.)
lest ANYONE should boast." (We are told it’s a gift from God … we just have to thankfully (and lovingly) receive it.)
(Ephesians 2:8) (The assurance of life in Heaven ... it's NOT too late!!!) (Prophecies ... The coming "Rapture")
For the ASSURANCE of Life in Heaven (and of having ALL of your sin and guilt completely removed) . . . A.C.T. NOW!!!
- Acknowledge you are a sinner ... and have sinned against God's Law
- Confess your sins to God
- Trust (believe) completely in Jesus Christ (Yeshua Ha'Mashiach in Hebrew) ...
- He (lovingly and willingly) died for all of your sins on the Cross ... and His innocent blood washes away ALL our sins
- He was buried ...
- He was raised (Resurrected) from the dead the third day ... and now waits to see if you are "with" Him or "against" Him
- Turn back to God ... and turn away from sinful activities ("repent") ... He will welcome you with tears of joy.
If you do these things … sincerely and in faith … the Bible promises you can have the complete assurance of eternal life in Heaven. The Bible tells us Jesus (Yeshua) did all the work for you when He bore all of your sins and died on the Cross ... and was buried ... and was raised (resurrected) from the dead (as "firstfruits" of the coming Resurrection) through the awesome power of God. The Bible says you can’t add anything to it!!! When you believe and trust in (and love) Jesus Christ as your "Savior" (who lovingly saves you from your sins and from Hell) ... and then turn away from your sinful ways and turn back to God ("repent"), you can have the complete peace and assurance in your heart that when you die, you will enter into His Kingdom of Heaven ... forever and ever … it’s God’s Promise!!!
The ONLY thing God asks a NON-believer to do is to "believe"... Jesus (God) did ALL the work ... life in Heaven is offered as a GIFT!!!
Grace and Shalom
