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!!!

Iran Hails Military Ties With Russia ...
--Drudge/AP (Prophecies ... Russia, Iran, and allies will go to war and will invade Israel) The time draws near ... the Bible warns Iran (Persia), with Russia ('Magog'), and a coalition of allies (including Turkey and Sudan) will attack and will invade Israel. In Ezekiel 38-39 the Bible warns this coming war between Iran (Persia) and Israel will take place sometime after Israel has been re-gathered into Her land as a nation (which was fulfilled on May 14, 1948) ... this prophetic war has never yet taken place ... the only time in history Persia (Iran) has ever gone to war against Israel was to help Israel throw off the yoke of the Byzantine Empire around 614 AD. The Bible warns the US will NOT defend Israel. According to the Bible, Israel must stand alone ... with God. For when this coming war does finally start, the United States (for reasons yet unknown) will be unable or unwilling to help Israel defend herself. Although the Bible warns the invading armies will be ultimately destroyed by God, it will be a devastating war for both Israel and the whole world. Bible scholars are divided as to whether this coming war is part of the prophetic battle of Armageddon or will just precede the battle of Armageddon in order to prepare the path for the coming Antichrist (a coming 'world leader' who will enforce a 'peace plan' upon Israel). All people of the world should be sitting on the edge of their seats with white knuckles watching this terrible prophecy slowly start to unfold ... while believing Christians (followers ... both Jew and Gentile ... of Jesus (Yeshua), the promised Messiah) are told to "examine" themselves in the Word and in faith to insure they are not just 'almost' Christians (Matthew 7:21-23) who are "lukewarm" in their faith in God's Word (Revelation 3:14-16) ... for Jesus (Yeshua) the Messiah warns all to, "Watch, therefore, and pray always (not just sometimes), that you will be counted worthy (through His worthiness) to escape all these things (the terrible events of the coming 'Apocalypse') that will come to pass" ... (Luke 21:36) ... for He also warns that never in the history of Mankind has there been (or will there be) anything as terrible as the coming "Apocalypse" (also called the "Great Tribulation"... Matthew 24:21 ... and "the time of Jacob's (Israel's) trouble"... Jeremiah 30:7) and only a small remnant of the world will survive ... yet, the Bible promises believing Christians (faithful and sincere believers in Jesus Christ (Yeshua Ha'Mashiach in Hebrew) who are alive at that time and have endured in their faith in God's Word are not "appointed" to this coming time of "God's wrath" that will be "poured out" upon the "whole world"... (1 Thessalonians 1:10 ... 1 Thessalonians 5:9-11) (Prophecies ... The coming "Rapture")
Turkey's Shift Toward Iran Is "No Short-Term Blip"...
--Jerusalem Post (Prophecies ... Russia, Iran, TURKEY, and allies will attack and will invade Israel) For anybody who has studied Bible prophecy over the years (especially Ezekiel 38-39) the turning of Turkey toward Russia-Iran and against Israel is very big news ... for many Bible teachers have been waiting for the day Turkey would begin to turn against Israel (for they have cooperated militarily for a number of years) ... this would be the last major missing piece left to fall in place before this important (and staggering) Bible prophecy could fully be fulfilled.

God's Warning To All ...
"When I (God) bring the sword upon a land,
and the people of the land take a man from their territory
and make him their watchman,
when he sees the sword coming upon the land,
if he blows the trumpet and warns the people, (Prophecies: The coming "Apocalypse" and Armageddon - UPDATED)
then whoever hears the sound of the trumpet
and does not take warning,
if the sword comes and takes him away,
his blood shall be on his own head.
He heard the sound of the trumpet, (Prophecies ... The coming "Rapture")
but did not take warning;
his blood shall be upon himself.
But he who takes warning will save his life (in Heaven).
But if the watchman sees the sword coming
and does not blow the trumpet,
and the people are not warned,
and the sword comes and takes any person from among them,
he is taken away (his or her soul after he dies) in his iniquity (sin);
but his blood I will require at the watchman's hand."

"And this is the condemnation,

because their deeds were evil.
For everyone practicing evil hates the Light
and does not come to the light,
lest his deeds should be exposed."

"The falling away"... Many people are no longer being taught what THE BIBLE actually says (and warns) about Heaven and Hell . . .
What DOES the Bible say?
The Bible warns NO ONE (including me and you and any other man or woman on Earth) can enter into the Kingdom of Heaven without acknowledging we are sinners and confessing our sins before God in prayer ... it's not easy to soften our hardened hearts and come humbly (and guiltily) before God ... yet, ALL believing Christians (who now have the assurance of life in the Kingdom of Heaven) have had to come face-to-face with the fact we are all sinners and desperately need a 'Savior" to save us from our sins and from Hell ...
"What then?
Are we better than they are?
Not at all.
For we have previously charged both Jews and Gentiles (Greeks)
that they are all under sin.
As it is written:
"There is none righteous,
no, not one; (that includes you ... and me.)
There is none who understands;
There is none who seeks after God.
They have all turned aside;
They have together become unprofitable;
There is none who does good,
no, not one."
(Romans 3:21-25 ... and Psalm 14:3)
"But now the righteousness of God
apart from the Law is revealed,
being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets,
even the righteousness of God,
through faith in Jesus Christ (Messiah ... Yeshua Ha'Mashiach in Hebrew),
TO ALL AND ON ALL WHO BELIEVE.
For there is no difference;
for ALL have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
being justified (forgiven) freely by His Grace
through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus (Yeshua Ha'Mashiach in Hebrew),
whom God set forth
as a propitiation by His Blood,
through faith,
to demonstrate His righteousness ..."
(Romans 3:21-25) ("Forgiven"... The assurance of life in Heaven ... it's NOT too late!!!) (Prophecies ... The coming "Rapture")
Jesus-Yeshua said more about Hell than He did about Heaven ... and the true believing Christian will try to get as many boys, girls, men, and women into the Kingdom of Heaven as possible. Yet, believing Christians will be accused of "hate" if they try to warn a teenager that witchcraft or abortion is a sin and is breaking God's Law. If a Christian truly "hated" anyone willfully sinning against God's Law they would simply keep silent and let them suffer in the eternal darkness, loneliness, and torment of Hell. Jesus-Yeshua, the Messiah, commands us to "love our enemies" ... and you can't love someone without warning them when they are in great and grave danger ...
The "Good News" (Gospel) is ...
1. The Bible warns we are all sinners ... and the "debt" of our sins makes it impossible to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven
2. But, Jesus (Yeshua) paid our "debt" (when He lovingly took our sins and punishment upon Himself on the Cross)
3. He is the promised "Savior" who saves us from our sins ... and from the darkness, aloneness, and torments of Hell
4. And to receive God's precious gift (and the awesome hope) of eternal life in Heaven we only have to ...
- ADMIT we are sinners ... humbly ... and with a "contrite heart"
- CONFESS those sins we have committed against God (in sincere prayer ... honestly and openly before God)
- TURN AWAY ("repent") from all of those things that are against God's Law according to the Bible
- TRUST IN Jesus Christ (Yeshua Ha'Mashiach) ... that "He died for our sins, was buried, and raised from the dead."
Trust (and believe) that He paid the terrible price for ALL of our sins on the Cross ... as the Passover "Lamb of God"... our ("once and for all") Sacrifice ... "His body broken" (for our sins) and "His innocent blood shed" (so we can be washed clean from all our sins) ... and so we can now come "boldly" before God through Him and in HIS PERFECT RIGHTEOUSNESS ... (and not in our smelly "filthy rags" of unrighteousness) ... the Bible says all our unrighteousness is REPLACED with His PERFECT righteousness ... so we can enter into Heaven.
For those who don't think they "need" a Savior ...
A short list of some of the sins He came to save us from, and commands us to turn away ("repent") from ...
Sexual immorality (either in the flesh or in the mind), drunkenness, refusing to forgive someone, desiring revenge, puffed-up pride ("Nobody is going to tell me what to do!" ... "At least I haven't sinned like him, or her, or them"... "I don't care what the Bible says"), esteeming yourself (socially, economically, or morally) above others, spreading gossip, telling any lie, disobedient to parents, being discontent with what we do have and desiring that which we don't have (covetousness), holding a grudge, having any passions greater than our passion (or love) for God and God's Word ("idolatry"... such as sports, music, television, work, money, leisure activities, hobbies, pets or animals, flowers or trees, celebrities or stars), fearfulness (letting worry and anxieties direct our path ... not walking in faith and trusting Him in "everything"), willfully viewing pornography, breaking our marriage vows (for anything other than adultery or abandonment by an unbelieving spouse), being entertained by shows and entertainers who mock God and His Word (and His people), taking illegal drugs, treating anybody in any way we ourselves would not want to be treated (even on the freeway or at the airport), slandering (ridiculing or saying hurtful things about people), "approving of" activities such as homosexuality or abortion (even if not actually doing such things), feeling ashamed of or embarrassed by Jesus Christ, feeling anger towards Christians who simply believe the Bible, and knowing to "do good" but not doing it ... etc. ... etc. ...
"For whoever shall keep the whole law,
and yet stumble in one (sin),
he is guilty of ALL."
(James 2:10)
"Therefore,
to him who knows to do good
and does not do it,
to him it is sin."
(James 4:17) ("Forgiven"... The assurance of life in Heaven ... it's NOT too late!!!) (Prophecies ... The coming "Rapture")
"But if we walk in the light as He is in the light,
we have fellowship with one another,
and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son
cleanses us from ALL sin.
If we say that we have no sin, (many are so concerned with other peoples' sins we willfully ignore our own ...)
we deceive ourselves, (Until we realize how desperately we need the "Savior" ... we won't be saved.)
and the truth is not in us.
If we confess our sins,
He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins
and to cleanse us
from ALL unrighteousness. (God knows our struggles with sin ... and He will forgive us when we ask)
If we say that we have not sinned,
we make Him a liar,
and His Word is not in us." (We have to come broken before God and confess our sins and seek His forgiveness ...)
(1 John 1:7-9) (Entering Heaven is NOT based on a "balance" weighing our "good" deeds against our "bad" deeds ...)
Please remember, our God is a forgiving God who will forgive any and all who have sinned against Him. Any sinner can be lovingly forgiven and washed clean through the blood of the Lamb. Jesus died for all sinners. And we are all sinners. The Bible warns we will struggle with it all of our lives. Yet, God hates sin because He knows the consequences . . . this is why He pleads with all of His lost sheep to stop and repent from doing those things that are wrong ... and with open arms and tears of joy He will richly forgive and welcome home all who will return to Him through His Son, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (Yeshua Ha'Mashiach in Hebrew.)
Learn of 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 darkness, aloneness, and torment of Hell, if you will accept it, believe it, and trust in it ... it's God's Promise!!!

God's Warning To All ...
"When I (God) say to the wicked,
‘You shall surely die (in Hell),’
and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked
from his wicked way, to save his life (eternal life in Heaven),
that same wicked man shall die in his iniquity (sin);
but his blood I will require at your hand.
"Yet, if you warn the wicked, and he does not turn
from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way,
he shall die in his iniquity;
but you have delivered your soul.
"Again, when a righteous man
turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity,
and I lay a stumbling block before him, he shall die (be sent to Hell);
because you did not give him warning, he shall die in his sin,
and his righteousness which he has done shall not be remembered;
but his blood I will require at your hand.
"Nevertheless if you warn the righteous man
that the righteous should not sin, and he does not sin,
he shall surely live (in Heaven) because he took warning;
also you will have delivered your soul."
(Ezekiel 3:18-21) ("Forgiven"... The assurance of life in Heaven ... it's NOT too late!!!) (Prophecies ... The coming "Rapture")

to receive a mark
on their right hand or on their foreheads,
and that no one may buy or sell
except one who has the mark,
or the name of the Beast,

(Revelation 13:16-17)
This prophecy is very crucial for those who have not accepted Jesus Christ (Yeshua Ha'Mashiach in Hebrew) as their Lord and will be alive when this law is enacted and enforced. This "mark" may be some kind of tattoo, or implanted microchip with all of your credit card and banking information, we really don’t know right now. It will not be easy to refuse this mark, whatever it is, for many of you will have families and children that will need to be fed. But, please be warned . . . by taking this mark, you will have sealed your eternal fate in Hell. In God’s eyes it identifies you with the Antichrist. There will be no turning back for any who take the "mark, the name of the Beast, or the number of his name." The utter darkness, aloneness, and torments of Hell will be their fate. Blessings are promised in Heaven to all those who refuse to take the "mark" and refuse to bow down to this coming world leader . . . and will die in their faith for doing so. The Lord will take the sting out of death. (The assurance of life in Heaven ... it's NOT too late!!!) (Prophecies ... The coming "Rapture")

--Drudge/The Sun (UK)
--Fox News Studying the underwater ocean terrain on "Google Earth" is interesting ... plus, it provides a good opportunity to hear and to learn (and to teach others) both the past and future prophetic significance of the Flood in the days of Noah ...
"In the six hundredth year of Noah's life,
in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month,
on that day all the fountains of the great deep were broken up,
(most of the Flood came from the vast subterranean reservoirs of water that were "broken up" and released)
and the windows of heaven were opened ...
And the waters prevailed exceedingly on the Earth,
and all the high hills under the whole heaven were covered.
The waters prevailed fifteen cubits upward,
and the mountains were covered ...
And all flesh died
that moved on the Earth:
birds and cattle and beasts
and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth,
and every man." (Mankind ... men and women ... God "cleansed" the Earth with water ... this time He will use fire.)
(Genesis 7:11,18-19,21)
We are told Noah was a preacher of righteousness and for 120 years was God’s witness, a trumpet of warning, while he built the vessel of refuge and escape. There could have been a billion people living on Earth at the time of Noah. The people were feeling content without acknowledging God. We are told they were "morally corrupt and filled with violence." People ignored and disobeyed God’s law and simply "did that which was right in their own eyes." After 120 years of patiently waiting and warning, we are told God Himself closed the door to the Ark . . .
Only eight people were saved.
Jesus Christ (Yeshua Ha'Mashiach in Hebrew) warns another generation of evil would rise and face God's Wrath . . .
"But as the days of Noah were,
so also will the coming of the Son of Man be . . ."
(Matthew 24:37) (Prophecies of Messiah's Return)
Now, to help us understand this prophecy God describes the generation of Noah as morally "corrupt" and "filled with violence" . . .
"The Earth was corrupt before God, ("corrupt" like smelly, rotting meat ... immoral)
and the Earth was filled with violence.
So God looked upon the Earth,
and indeed it was corrupt;
for all flesh had corrupted their way on the Earth.
And God said to Noah,
‘The end of all flesh has come before Me,
for the Earth is filled with violence through them;
and behold, I will destroy them with the Earth . . .’"
(Genesis 6:11-13) (Prophetic Warning Signs: We will know when we are close ...)
Jesus (Yeshua) warns us that never in the history of Mankind has there been anything as terrible on Earth as the coming "Apocalypse," the "Great Tribulation" ... only a small remnant of the world will survive.

no, nor ever shall be.
And unless those days were shortened,
no flesh would be saved ..." (Prophecies: The coming "Apocalypse" and Armageddon - UPDATED)

Jesus (Yeshua) commands us to watch and be ready .....

that will come to pass . . ."
