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)

--Pravda  (Russia)     What the world sees as "catastrophes"... the diligent Christian who knows the Bible sees as God's warnings and  judgments against a nation who once prospered in faith "Under God"... and now (as a national policy) has turned its back on God and God's Word and is trying to "remove" God from both its history and its future.  God has warned nations who turn from Him and put their faith in the "economy" and their "military" and "defense"... and not in Him.  Watch what will happen to a nation in which most churches now "no longer endure (or teach) sound doctrine"... and where most parents no longer teach their children to fear, love, know, obey, and trust in the Lord and His Word ...

 

   "IF My people

     who are called by My Name

     and pray

     and seek My face,

     and turn from their wicked ways,

     then I will hear from Heaven,

     and will forgive their sin

     and heal their land. "

   "Though the fig tree may not blossom,

     Nor grapes be on the vines;

     Though the olive crop may fail,

     And the fields yield no food;

     Though there are no sheep in the pen,

     And there be no cattle in the stalls --  

     Yet I will rejoice in the LORD,

     I will be joyful in the God my Savior.  

     The LORD God is my strength;

     He will make my feet like the feet of a deer,

     And He enables me to go on the heights (high hills)." 

     (Habakkuk 3:17-19)

 

    "The LORD gave,

     and the LORD has taken away;

During our many trials and difficulties we must walk in faith and trust in God and His Word . . . .

 

   "In You, O LORD, I put my trust;

     Let me never be ashamed;

     Deliver me in Your righteousness.  

     Bow down Your ear to me,

     Deliver me speedily;

     Be my rock of refuge,

     A fortress of defense to save me.  

     For You are my rock and my fortress;

     Therefore, for Your Name's sake,

     Lead me and guide me."

     (Psalm 31:1-5)

 

   "And those whose faith has made them good in God’s sight must live by faith,

     trusting Him in everything."   (When we are commanded to trust Him in "everything"... He means "everything!!!")

     (Hebrews 10:38)      (Finding Hope and Comfort in Times of Trouble ...)       (God's Promise ...)   

 

In times of trouble ... both day and night we may often have to pray for the Lord to help take captive those thoughts and feelings of fear and anxiety, and ask Him to cast them far from us, "as far as the East is from the West" ... and pray He will fill us His Holy Spirit ... with the Love, the Joy, the Peace, the Glory of His Brightness (which drives away the forces of darkness), the Peace of God ("which, beyond all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus"), the Comfort, with the Strength, the Courage, and the Power that can ONLY come from Him through the power of His Holy Spirit ... "If God is for us, who can be against us!!!" (Romans 8:31)
 

   "Be anxious (worry) for nothing,

     but in everything by prayer and supplication,

     with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;

     and the peace of God,

     which surpasses all understanding,

     will guard your hearts and minds

     through Christ Jesus (Yeshua Ha'Mashiach in Hebrew)."

     (Philippians 4:6-7)
