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)

--Jerusalem Post (Prophecies: The US will be "neutralized"... then Russia, Iran, and allies will attack and invade Israel) "Neutralized" means becoming "neutral" in our long-standing position of defending Israel against her enemies (diplomatically and militarily) ... and as noted over the years, "neutralized" could mean "politically"... "economically"... and/or "militarily." With the news headlines over just the past few weeks it appears we may soon check the first two boxes. But, please know, in Israel's coming "time of trouble" the United States will be UNWILLING or UNABLE to defend Israel against her enemies ... for the BIBLE warns Israel will stand alone ... with God.

God's Promise (and warning) . . .
"For God so loved the world
that He gave His only begotten Son,
that whoever believes in Him (Jesus-Yeshua) (means fully "trusts" in Him alone to save us from our sins and from Hell)
should not perish (in Hell)
but have everlasting life (in Heaven).
For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world,
but that the world through Him might be saved (into Heaven).
He who believes in Him is not condemned (to Hell);
but he who does not believe (in Jesus-Yeshua)
is condemned (to Hell) already" (The implications of this verse are staggering!)

The Bible warns we can never 'earn' our way into Heaven through "good works"... or money ... or through anybody else. The Bible says we are saved (from our sins and from Hell) through "faith" and faith alone ... faith in Jesus Christ (Yeshua Ha'Mashiach in Hebrew) ... faith that His innocent blood was lovingly and willingly shed on the Cross for all our sins ... faith that He died for us, was buried, and then raised from the dead the third day (as "the first fruits of the Resurrection") ... and faith He is now seated on His throne in Heaven . . .
"For by Grace you have been saved (from your sins and from Hell)
through FAITH, (in God's Word)
and that not of yourselves;
it (God's Grace) is the GIFT of God, ("Grace" is getting something we don’t deserve)
not of works, (we can't earn it or buy it through "good deeds" or money)
lest anyone should boast." (we are told it’s a gift from God … we just have to receive it ... in faith)
(Ephesians 2:8) (The Bible warns we are saved by faith ... in God's Word ... Romans 5:1 and many other passages)

Messiah would lovingly (and willingly) lay His life down as a Sacrifice for all (so even Gentiles might have the hope and promise of life in Heaven) . . .
"But He (Messiah) was wounded for our transgressions,
He was bruised for our iniquities;
The chastisement (punishment) for our peace was upon Him,
And by His stripes (whip lashes) we are healed.
And the LORD has laid on Him the iniquity (sin) of us all."
(Isaiah 53:5-7)
"The Lord is my shepherd . . ."
(Psalm 23:1)
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."

"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) (Prophecies ... The coming "Rapture")
Jesus (Yeshua) commands us to watch and be ready .....
"Watch therefore,
and pray always
that you may be counted worthy (through HIS worthiness)

that will come to pass . . ."
(Luke 21:36) (The assurance of life in Heaven ... it's NOT too late!!!)
... for He promises to protect and shelter all those who are found waiting in faith from the coming 'time of trouble.'
