This weekly news update is being sent because the Bible tells us to know the prophecies and to "watch" for their fulfillment (which can only be done by learning and knowing what is going on around the world) ... yet, many churches and synagogues today ignore and deny Bible prophecy (which in itself is a major fulfillment of Bible prophecy) ...
Now, a short Bible prophecy lesson to help show how close we are ...
+ Israel back in the Land as a nation (this started the clock ticking ...)
+ Iran and allies threatening war against Israel
+ Russia rising ... and acting as a 'guard' for Iran
+ China armed with weapons capable of quickly destroying 1/3 of mankind
+ Nations of the ancient Roman Empire (Europe?) reuniting and rising in power
+ Teachings of false 'Prophets' leading many
+ A Generation 'morally corrupt' and 'filled with violence'
(The Bible uses the word 'corrupt' - like smelly, rotting meat)
+ 'The falling away'... churches and synagogues no longer teaching or enduring sound doctrine
+ Israel and Jerusalem . . . trouble, troubles, and more trouble
+ All nations turning against nation Israel . . .
= The Generation of the ... Rapture ... the 'Apocalypse' ... Armageddon ... and Messiah's Return.
For the first time in history this prophetic 'equation' is nearly complete . . . and all in this generation!!!
That Tiny Red 'Dot' is Israel ... God warns, 'Israel is His'...'Allah' and his vast armies (green) keep trying to prove Him wrong
The 'God of Israel' and the Bible . . . or . . . 'Allah' and the Koran . . . The Bible Warns One Is True . . . and One Is False
The coming Battle of Armageddon ('Hill of Megiddo') . . . Armageddon lies right in the center of that tiny Red 'Dot'
"I (God) will bless those who bless you (Israel) and will curse those who curse you". . . (Genesis 12:3)

From Israel: Time For The Real Bush To Stand Up ...
--Jerusalem Post/Carolyn Glick "I (God) will bless those who bless you (Israel) and will curse those who curse you" (Genesis 12:3). God says what He means ... and He means what He says. As long as America continues to officially pursue the division of the Land of Israel into two separate "states," America will continue to see "cursings" rather that "blessings" fall upon our nation. Yet, it appears our leaders (and nation) will continue to blindly ignore the warnings and the cursings that are now starting to fall upon America, and will forge ahead in our rebellion against (and in opposition to) God and God's Word. As with God's requirements for getting into the Kingdom of Heaven, we have to: (#1) Admit we have sinned against God's Law and turn away from our sins and turn back to God (this is what "repent" means) ... and then ... (#2) Place 100% of our faith and trust in our Lord and Savior (who saves us from all our sins and from Hell) Jesus Christ (the Word of God) ... Yeshua Ha'Mashiach in Hebrew. (The assurance of life in Heaven ... it's NOT too late!!!) (Prophecies ... The coming "Rapture")

The Apostle Paul (Rabbi Shaul) provides a prophetic profile or "checklist" of the identifying character traits of "the generation" who will lead the world into the unspeakable terrors of the Apocalypse . . .
"But know this, that in the last days
perilous (savage, fierce) times will come,
for men will be
lovers of themselves,
lovers of money
boasters,
proud,
blasphemers (mocking God and Jesus Christ ... Yeshua Ha'Mashiach in Hebrew)
disobedient to parents
unthankful
unholy,
unloving,
unforgiving
slanderers,
without self-control
violent (brutal)
despisers of good
traitors, (just watch Obama, his Cabinet, his Judges, and his Democrat Congress ...)
headstrong
arrogant (haughty)
lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God
having a form of godliness (professing to believe in a 'god')
but denying its power.
And from such people turn away (shun, avoid)!"

God also provides prophetic insights into the mood and the attitudes of those who will be found living "in the last days" . . .
"Knowing this first:
that scoffers will come in the last days,
walking according to their own lusts,
and saying,
'Where is the promise of His coming?
For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue on
as they were from the beginning of creation.’"
(2 Peter 3:3-4)
However, through the Apostle Peter, God does graciously answer those who sincerely ask, "Where is the promise of His coming?" or, "It’s been 2000 years, why hasn’t He returned yet?"
"The Lord is NOT slack concerning His promise (to return),
as some count slackness,
but is longsuffering (patient) toward us,
not willing that any should perish (in Hell or the coming "Apocalypse")
but that all should come to repentance."
(2 Peter 3:9) (Prophecies ... The coming "Rapture") (Prophecies of Messiah's Return)
God is patient. We are told He has waited this long because He loves us and wants us to repent, which simply means to change our ways and turn back to Him, His Word, and His ways, which are good. He is filled with patience, forgiveness, and mercy. He will protect and shelter all who will draw close to Him before the coming time of trouble. He warns us through prophecy so we will realize how perilously close we are to the end. He wants us to realize how far from Him and His protection we have wandered, and to run back to Him as we sense the danger we are in.

--Drudge/Star Tribune (Prophecies ... "In the last days"... "evil men will wax worse and worse"... "deceiving (lying), and BEING deceived") (Hmmm ... have you noticed over the past few elections that often when Republicans win close elections, they always seem to somehow lose after the "recounts?"... This is where the massive illegal voter registrations come in ... they provide each district with a "surplus" of available votes that can "magically" appear, if and when necessary. That is also why the Democrat Party rejects any laws that might require voters to simply show a drivers license (like we all have to at the airport) or any kind of ID to vote. They now have the ability to "fix" elections in many cities and states ... and apparently the honest citizens of this nation (who would not mind showing some form of identification to protect the integrity of our elections) no longer have anyone they can look to or count on to stop this obscene illegal activity.)

A warning from the Lord ...
"But of that day and hour no one knows,
no, not even the angels of Heaven,
but My Father only."
(Matthew 24:36) (Prophecies ... The coming "Rapture")
"Then two men will be in the field:
one will be taken and the other left.
Two women will be grinding at the mill:
one will be taken and the other left."
"Watch therefore, for you do not know
what hour your Lord is coming."
(Matthew 24:40-42) (Prophecies ... The coming "Rapture")
"Therefore you also be ready,
for the Son of Man is coming
at an hour you do not expect."
(Luke 12:40) (The assurance of life in Heaven ... it's NOT too late!!!)

"When you see these things happening,
know that it (the 'Apocalypse') is near -- at the door!
Assuredly, I say to you,
this generation will by no means pass away
till all these things take place."
(Mark 13:29)
"Before the decree is issued,
before the day passes like chaff,
before the LORD'S fierce anger comes upon you,
before the day of the LORD'S
anger comes upon you!
Seek the LORD,
all you meek of the Earth,
who have upheld His justice.
Seek righteousness,
seek humility.
It may be that you
will be hidden
in the day of the LORD'S anger."
(Zephaniah 2:2-3)
Jesus (Yeshua) commands us to watch and be ready .....
"Watch therefore,
and pray always
that you may be
counted worthy to escape
all these things
that will come to pass . . ." (The Bible promises all who wait in faith are not "appointed" to the coming time of "Tribulation")
(Luke 21:36)
... for He promises to protect and shelter all those who are found waiting in faith from the coming 'time of trouble.'
