Bible prophecy allows both the diligent and the skeptical to test God's word. The Bible warns a single generation will see the fulfillment of many extraordinary Bible prophecies beginning with Israel gathered back into her Land as a nation and ending with Armageddon. The Bible tells us prophetic warning signs are given so we will return to God and draw close to Him through Jesus Christ (Yeshua Ha'Mashiach in Hebrew) before it's too late, for God will provide hope, comfort, and shelter for all who will sincerely receive it . . . the message found in the Bible is not trivial ... it is staggering!!!
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) ... many churches and synagogues today ignore and deny Bible prophecy (which in itself is a major fulfillment of Bible prophecy) ... here, Jesus Christ (Yeshua Ha'Mashiach in Hebrew) commands all those who will follow Him to "watch" and be ready ...
"Take heed (to the prophetic warnings) ...
watch (what is going on) ...
and pray (see below);
for you do not know when the time is (the coming Rapture).
It is like a man going to a far country,
who left his house and gave authority to his servants, and to each his work,
and commanded the doorkeeper to watch.
Watch therefore,
for you do not know when the master of the house is coming --
in the evening, at midnight, at the crowing of the rooster, or in the morning --
lest, coming suddenly, he find you sleeping.
And what I say to you, I say to all: Watch!"
(Mark 13:33-37)
"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)
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 Apocalypse ... Armageddon ... and Messiah's Return.
For the first time in history this prophetic 'equation' is nearly complete . . .
And all in this generation!!!
Jesus (Yeshua) commands us to watch and be ready ...
"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.

"Then Jesus-Yeshua called a little child to him ...
Whoever causes one of these little ones who believes in Me to sin,
it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck
and he were drowned in the depths 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!"
(Matthew 18:2,3-7) ('Woe' is a terrible, terrible, terrible curse ...)
Scientists Find A Vast 'Ocean' of Water Lying Under Asia ...
--Fox News (Prophecies ... The road to Armageddon) (Prophecies ... The coming 'Rapture') (Prophecies ... The 'Apocalypse')
The “Flood of Noah” . . . and vast underground 'oceans' of water
What many people fail to notice (or learn) in the Bible is the 'Flood of Noah' was mainly caused by the "fountains of the great deep" (vast reservoirs of water lying beneath the Earth's surface) being "broken up" while accompanied by a great rain and deluge ... both being caused by some extraordinary, cataclysmic, (and God-triggered) global event and judgment ...
"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,
and the windows of heaven were opened.
And the rain was on the Earth forty days and forty nights ..."
(Genesis 7:11-12)
Here, God tells us why He destroyed the generation living in the days of Noah (and cleansed the Earth with water) . . .
"The Earth was corrupt (like smelly, rotting meat ... a generation who flaunted their immorality) before God,
and the Earth was filled with violence.
So God looked upon the Earth, and indeed it was corrupt (immoral);
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 (the immoral and violent generation) with the Earth . . .’"
(Genesis 6:11-13) (There could have been close to a billion people living on Earth . . . only eight were saved. )
Coming judgment ... here, Jesus (Yeshua), the Messiah, warns another evil generation just like the one God destroyed in the days of Noah will rise upon the Earth . . .
Jesus warns,
"But as the days of Noah were,
so also will the coming of the Son of Man be . . ." (When He returns ... for the 'Rapture' .. and then Armageddon)
(Matthew 24:37)
Other verses warn this 'generation of wrath' would rise soon after Israel was back in her land again as a nation ... the world witnessed this historic and miraculous event on May 14, 1948! (Israel Back As A Nation: A remarkable mathematical prophecy!)
"Global Warming" or "Godly Warning". . . God is now warning and pleading with us to return to Him and His Word before it's too late ... for the Bible tells us God is patient ('long-suffering') and does not wish that any should perish in the coming 'Apocalypse' (which actually means the 'Revelation' or 'revealing' of Jesus Christ) ... but the Bible also warns (and warns and warns) that 'as in the days of Noah' most (not all) people on Earth will be completely caught by surprise when 'that Day' comes 'as a thief in the night' . . .
First, “Water” . . . then, “Fire”
This time the Bible warns the whole world (with all who arrogantly oppose, ignore, and mock God's Word and His warnings) will be judged (and 'cleansed') with FIRE . . .
“For behold, the Day is
coming,
Burning like an oven,
And all the proud,
yes, all who do wickedly
will be stubble.
And the Day which is coming shall burn them up,”
Says the LORD of hosts,
“That will leave them neither root nor branch.
But to you who fear My name
The Sun of Righteousness shall arise
With healing in His wings; (God promises hope and shelter for
all who will follow Jesus
(Yeshua) the promised Messiah)
(Malachi 4:1-3) ('Lord of hosts' literally means 'Lord of armies')
"Then the fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun,
and power was given to him to scorch men with fire.
And men were scorched with great heat,
and they blasphemed the name of God
who has power over these plagues;
and they did not repent (turn back to God ... and turn away from their sins)
and give Him glory."
(Revelation 16:8-9)
"But the Day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night,
in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise,
and the elements will melt with fervent heat;
both the Earth and the works that are in it will be burned up.
Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved,
what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness,
looking for and hastening the coming of the Day of God,
because of which the heavens will be dissolved, being on fire,
and the elements will melt with fervent heat?
Nevertheless we (all who will trust in Jesus alone to save them), according to His promise,
look for new heavens and a new Earth in which righteousness dwells."
(2 Peter 3:11) (Prophecies of Messiah's Return)
"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, (Doing that which is right according to God's Word ... and not Man's word)
seek humility.
It may be that you
will be hidden
in the Day of the LORD'S anger."
(Zephaniah 2:2-3)
The 'unpardonable sin' . . .
The only unpardonable sin is to reject God's love and His offer of eternal life in Heaven by rejecting His only begotten Son, Christ Jesus (Yeshua), the promised Messiah, who stepped forth from Eternity ("from of old, from everlasting"… Micah 5:2) ... not to condemn the sinner, but to save the sinner (from our sins and from the darkness, loneliness, and torment of Hell) and who willingly and lovingly shed His innocent blood on the Cross so we can be washed clean of all our sins . . .
God's gracious invitation which He extends to every man and woman on Earth (an invitation to live forever in His awesome and beautiful Kingdom of Heaven) is a love story ... written in blood ... on a wooden cross ... lifted high upon mount Moriah ... in the land of Israel ... for all of the World to see. We only have to sincerely accept it, receive it, trust in it with all of our hearts, and cling to it in faith as we endure the troubles and difficulties which will test our faith in this life. The Bible also warns there will be no peace in our hearts until we make peace with God through His Son, the Messiah, Lord Jesus Christ who lovingly and obediently substituted His life for ours on the Cross . . . and with open arms and with tears of joy He will welcome all who will come to Him in faith and in love ... It's God's Promise!!!
Much is written in the Bible to help identify the promised Messiah . . . (Bible prophecies of the Messiah) (Messiah's Return)
"But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah,
though you are little among the thousands of Judah,
Yet out of you shall come forth to Me
The One to be ruler in Israel, (who we are told will one day rule over all the nations of the world)
Whose goings forth have been from of old,
from everlasting." (Eternity ... the Bible tells us Messiah would be eternal!)
(Micah 5:2) (A prophecy of the Messiah from the Tanakh (Old Testament) written 500 years Before Christ.)
"For unto us a Child is born,
unto us a Son is given,
and His name will be called Mighty God,
Everlasting Father,
Prince of Peace."
(Isaiah 9:6) (A prophecy of the Messiah from the Tanakh (Old Testament) written 700 years Before Christ.)
"In the beginning was the Word . . .
and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God.
And the Word became flesh
and dwelt among us,
and we beheld His glory,
the glory as of the only begotten of the Father . . .
full of grace and truth.
He was in the world,
the world was made through Him,
and the world did not know Him.
He came to His own,
and His own did not receive Him . . ."
(Excerpted from John 1:1-14)
The Bible warns there is no other way into Heaven . . .
"Jesus (Yeshua) said to him,
'I am the way,
the truth, and the life.
No one comes to the Father (into Heaven)
except through Me."
(John 14:6)
Yet, there are many (as the Bible accurately warned and predicted there would be) who still try to place other 'prophets' such as Mohammed, Joseph Smith, Buddha, Krishna, and others alongside (or above) Jesus Christ (Yeshua Ha'Mashiach in Hebrew), the promised Messiah of Israel . . .
"Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many.
And because lawlessness (sin) will abound,
the love of many (for Jesus Christ) will grow cold."
(Matthew 24:11-12)
"I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him
who called you in the grace of Christ, ("grace" is getting something we don't deserve)
to a different gospel, (way into Heaven)
which is not another;
but there are some who trouble you
and want to pervert the gospel of Christ.
But even if we, or an angel from heaven, (hello Mohammed and Joseph Smith)
preach any other gospel to you
than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed.
As we have said before, so now I say again,
if anyone preaches any other gospel to you
than what you have received, let him be accursed."
(Galatians 1:6-9)
It is interesting the 'prophet' Mohammed started his religion "Islam" (Moslems) and the 'prophet' Joseph Smith started his "Church" of "Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints" (Mormons) on 'revelations' they both claimed were received from angels! It is also interesting they both teach a different Gospel (way into Heaven) than the Bible teaches. Mohammed received his revelation from an angel (he sometimes called Gabriel) about 600 years after these prophetic warnings were written, and Joseph Smith received his revelation from an angel (he called Maroni) about 1,800 years after these clear prophetic warnings were written ... In many ways Mohammed and Joseph Smith are very similar ... they both claim 'angels' gave them their new revelations ... they both lure young males with the promise of many 'wives' in Eternity ... and they both accuse Jews and Christians of 'changing' the Bible (yet they have never shown or presented any passages that have ever been changed) ... their 'new' books add nothing new to enlighten the reader over what the Bible already says and teaches ... and they both try to attack the belief (and the facts) that Jesus (Yeshua) is the Holy One the whole Bible points to, whose Name we are told "is above every other name" both in Heaven and on Earth (including Mohammed and Buddha and Satan) ... and both revert back to a form of 'religion' which convinces their followers that life in Heaven must be 'earned' through an unknown quantity of 'good works' or deeds (or by killing Jews and Christians) ... so, none of their followers (or followers of any religion who teaches a person can 'balance the scales' of judgment in their favor through 'good works, deeds, or money') will ever have the secure hope and promise of life in Heaven which God freely offers to every man and woman in the world who will sincerely trust in Jesus Christ (Yeshua Ha'Mashiach in Hebrew) to save them from their sins and from Hell ...
The Bible warns we can't 'earn' our way into Heaven . . .
"For by grace you have been saved (from your sins and from Hell)
through faith (in Jesus Christ who paid for all of our sins),
and that not of yourselves;
it is the gift of God, (‘Grace’ is lovingly getting something we don’t deserve … we can't buy this gift)
not of works, (our 'good deeds' can't save us ... and no other person, priest, or religious trinket can ever save us)
lest anyone should boast." (it’s a gift from God … we haven't earned it or deserve it ... we just have to receive it gladly)
(Ephesians 2:8)
"For God so loved the world
that He gave His only begotten Son,
that whoever believes (trusts) in Him (Jesus-Yeshua)
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 Christ - Yeshua Ha'Mashiach in Hebrew)
is condemned (to Hell) already" (The message which God has clearly laid out in these verses is staggering!!)
(John 3:16-18)
