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!!!

"There are no former agents," Putin declared, giving a new twist to a common joke among KGB officers ..." (From the Moscow Times article )

The First Commandment . . .
"You shall have no other gods before Me" (Exodus 20:3 ... Deuteronomy 5:2)
"Allah"... The Babylonian and Arabian 'Moon god'
"If there is found among you,
within any of your gates which the LORD your God gives you,
a man or a woman who has been wicked in the sight of the LORD your God,
in transgressing His Covenant,
who has gone and served other gods and worshipped them,
either the Sun or Moon
or any of the host of heaven (stars)
which I (God) have not commanded ..." (Serious stuff ... the next verses warn this "abomination" is worthy of death.)

Islamic Says, "We’re Allowed to Lie" ...
--Israel Nat'l News (Prophecies ... "In the last days evil men will wax worse and worse"... "deceiving (lying) and being deceived") Islam teaches "Allah" allows a Muslim to lie . . .
But, the Bible teaches something very different ...
"These six things the LORD hates;
yes, seven are an abomination (foul stench) to Him:
A proud look, ("Nobody is going to tell me what to do!"... "I don't care what God says in the Bible!")
a lying tongue,
and hands that shed innocent blood,
A heart that devises wicked plans,
feet that are swift in running to evil,
a false witness who speaks lies,
and he who sows discord among the brethren."
(Proverbs 6:16-21)
"But the cowardly, ("cowardly".... those who are afraid to confess Jesus (Yeshua) as Lord ... "What will others think?")
unbelieving,
abominable, (the Bible warns against a number of activities God calls "abominable" ...)
murderers,
sexually immoral, (sex outside of marriage ...)
sorcerers, ("pharmakeus" ... drugs)
idolaters, (loving other "passions" such as money, sports, work, the gym, tv, music, celebrities, etc., more than God.)
and all liars
shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone (Hell)
which is the second death." (Hell! ... This is the death Jesus (Yeshua) came to save us from ...)
(Revelation 21:8) (Yet, many still don't think they need a Savior to save them from their sins) ... (Heaven or Hell)
Three of Satan's other "titles" in the Bible ...
"The father of all lies ..." (John 8:44)
"The Liar ..." (John 8:44)
"The lying spirit ..." (1 Kings 22:22)
The Scriptures tell us God cannot lie and He hates all lies. God says truth is non-negotiable and is fundamental to His law. In the past, liars and perjurers were held accountable and dealt with harshly and severely. Today we see lying casually accepted in the news, in the movies, and on television. Lying is now being presented as funny and harmless (just watch television shows such as Frazier, Seinfeld, and Home Improvement) ... This generation is unique in its reaction to liars and perjurers. This nation even lifted up and still glorifies a recent President whose most notable characteristics were staring into a TV camera while flagrantly lying and deceiving ... and then later being convicted of criminal perjury, yet being allowed to stay in office. This generation mocks our rules of law. This generation mocks God's Law. As noted, telling the truth is fundamental to God’s law. In the Bible we find when a nation and its leader(s) defiantly mock, ignore, and turn their backs on God’s law, God will turn His back on that nation and will remove His protection and blessings from that people. God help us. The future of that nation and people is always very, very grim ...
Please remember, the Kingdom of Heaven is available to every man, woman, boy, and girl in this world, no matter who they are, where they live, how old they are, or what sins they have committed. It is freely offered to any and all who will receive it. That is the "good news" ('gospel' in Greek.) Simply learn of Jesus (Yeshua), the promised Messiah, invite Him into your life as Lord, believe He died on the Cross for all of your sins and rose from the grave (proving there is a Kingdom of Heaven ... and a Hell). Learn of Him and believe in Him . . . for He was the only one who has ever loved you enough to substitute Himself for you on the Cross. He shed His blood, suffered, and died on the Cross to pay for your sins and to save you from your sins and from the utter loneliness, darkness, and torment of Hell, if you will accept it, believe it, and trust in it ... it's God's Promise!!!
The only unpardonable sin is to reject God's love and His free offer of life in the Kingdom of Heaven by rejecting Jesus Christ (Yeshua Ha'Mashiach in Hebrew) who stepped forth from Eternity ("from of old, from everlasting"... see Micah 5:2) ... not to condemn the sinner, but to save the sinner (from the torment of Hell) and who willingly and lovingly shed His blood on the Cross so we can be washed clean of all our sins. The Bible warns there will be no peace in our hearts or minds until we make peace with God through His Son, Jesus (Yeshua), the promised Messiah. The Bible also warns there will be no peace in Israel, or on Earth, until Jesus (Yeshua), the Messiah returns . . . (Prophecies of Messiah's Return)

(Deuteronomy 31:8)
Judge Rules Against Parents ... Rules In Favor Of Schools Teaching Kids That Homosexuality Is Innate
--WND (Bible Warnings: Homosexuality and Abortion)
The heart of Jesus is filled with love for little children. His love is so great He offers an ominous warning to any who would cause them to sin, including educators who would teach our children the "do’s and don’ts" of the Bible are wrong or no longer valid in today’s world . . .
"Then Jesus called a little child to Him,
set him in the midst of them, and said,
‘Assuredly, I say to you,
unless you are converted and become as little children,
you will by no means enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child
is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.
Whoever receives one little child like this in My Name receives Me.
But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin,
it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around
his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
Woe to the world because of offenses! For offenses must come,
but woe to that man (or woman) by whom the offense comes!"

Obama's votes in the Senate reveal he is a fervent ally of Islam ... and will rabidly support abortion and homosexuality ... and will mock our immigration laws to help the Democrat Party secure control over our democratic election system ... and as you will note from this article, Kennedy didn't come up with those words we now quote to lift up his "eloquence" and wisdom ... he merely read a script like an actor in a school play.)

"When you see
these things,
know that it is near - -
at the door."
(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."
(Zeph 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)
"When you see these things happening,
know that it (the 'Apocalypse') is near -- at the doors!
Assuredly, I say to you,
this generation will by no means pass away
till all these things take place."
(Mark 13:29)
... for He promises to protect and shelter all those who are found waiting in faith from the coming 'time of trouble.'
