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'

Three interesting notes this week ...
1. Happy New Year! This coming Saturday Evening (April 5) and Sunday Day (April 6) mark the Biblical New Year ...
First, let's remember the Bible says at (or in) the mouth of two witnesses (or more) the matter is established ...
"At the mouth of two witnesses,
or at the mouth of three witnesses,
shall the matter be established."
(Deuteronomy 19:15)
"That in the mouth of two or three witnesses
every word may be established."
(Matthew 18:16 ... 2 Corinthians 13:1)
Now, let's find at least two witnesses in the Bible who teach us the Jewish month of Nisan is the "first" month ...
"In the first month,
which is the month of Nisan ..."
(Esther 3:7)
"This month (the month of Passover ... "Nisan")
shall be your beginning of months;
it shall be the first month of the year to you."
(Exodus 12:2)
"On the fourteenth day of the first month (Nisan)
at twilight is the LORD's Passover"
(Leviticus 23:5) (Find when the "Passover" is being observed ... and you find the 14th day of the first month of the year!)
Note: There are at least 7 other verses that could also be listed which point us to the "First" month ... and even more that confirm the "Seventh" month is in the fall.
2. Our modern calendar reflects the Biblical New Year ...
This year the Jewish calendar (the most sophisticated in the world) adds an extra "leap month" (lunar) to calibrate and synchronize the lunar-solar cycles every 19 years. So, the new year month of "Nisan" usually falls some time around March.
Now, if you look at several months in our modern calendar you will find it reflects a "March" new year ...
September - "Sept" means "7"... but we now call it the 9th month
October - "Oct" means "8"... but we now call it the 10th month
November - "Nov" means "9"... but we now call it the11th month
December - "Dec" means "10"... but we now call it the 12th month.
As the names of these months reflect, they would all fall in place if March (around Nisan) was our first month ...
3. And finally ... April 1st ... "April Fools Day" ... is also "World Atheists Day!"
"The fool has said in his heart,
'There is no God.'
They are corrupt, They have done abominable works,
There is none who does good."
(Psalm 14:1)
"The fool has said in his heart,
'There is no God.'
They are corrupt, and have done abominable iniquity;
There is none who does good."
(Psalm 53:)

From Israel: World Is Against Us, As Usual ...
--Ynet/Gavri Bargil (Prophecies...Israel after becoming a nation) The Bible warns "at the time of the end" all nations will turn against one nation ... Israel! (Zechariah 14:2 ... Revelation 16:12-16 ... Joel 3:2). All nations against one nation sounds absurd ... it is absurd ... not all nations turned against Nazi Germany, not all nations turned against Saddam's Iraq, and not all nations have turned against the murderous regimes of Zimbabwe, Sudan, Russia, China, Cuba, or Iran. Yet, this ancient book, the Bible, which was written many, many years before 1948 (when Israel once again became a nation exactly when the Bible prophesied it would) stated clearly that God would one day bring Israel back into Her Land as a nation and then all the nations of the world would "unite" against her and will try (unsuccessfully) to wipe her off the map ...

"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.'
