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)

Jesus Christ (Yeshua Ha'Mashiach in Hebrew) commands us to watch and be ready .....

 

   "Watch therefore,

      and pray always

      that you may be

      counted worthy to escape    (Through His worthiness ... not through ours ... trust in Him!)

      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)       (Prophecies ... The coming "Rapture")  

 

... for He promises to protect and shelter all those who are found waiting in faith from the coming 'time of trouble.'

 

   "For the wrath (fierce anger) of God is revealed from Heaven

     against all ungodliness

     and unrighteousness of men"  (mankind ... men and women)

     (Romans 1:18)    (Prophecies: The 'Apocalypse' and Armageddon ... UPDATED) 

 

Obama Forces University To Cover Jesus Symbol During Georgetown Speech ...

--Drudge/NBC News       (Prophecies:  A generation of evil will rise ... the generation of Armageddon ... "having a form of Godliness")  

 

   "They profess to know God,

     but in works they deny Him,

     being abominable,   (loathsome ... an abhorrence ... a "foul stench")

     disobedient,

     and disqualified

     for every good work."

     (Titus 1:16)

 

A warning from Jesus Christ (Yeshua Ha'Mashiach in Hebrew) ...

 

   "NOT everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,'  
     shall enter the Kingdom of Heaven ...    (He is warning those who are calling themselves "Christian")
     Many ('most' or 'majority') will say to Me in that Day     (the coming Day of Judgment),
    'Lord, Lord, have we not taught (prophesied) in Your Name,
     cast out demons in Your Name,
     and done many wonders in Your Name?'
     And then (at the coming Judgment),

     I (Jesus) will declare to them
    'I never knew you
     Depart from Me   (departing from Heaven ... and into Hell)
     you who practice lawlessness'"     (God's Word includes God's Law ... to deny God's Word is "lawlessness")
     (Matthew 7:21-23)  
    (The assurance of life in Heaven  ... it's NOT too late!!!)      (Prophecies ... The coming "Rapture") 

 

Most Christians In The US Now Say They DON'T Believe the Holy Spirit or Satan Exist ...

--WND/Christianity Today       (Prophecies... The "falling away" ... Churches and church leaders would "depart from the faith")      (Who is Satan?)

 

The "Falling Away" ('apostasy'... corruption) of churches and church leaders ...

The "Rapture" ...

The coming "Antichrist"

And the coming "Apocalypse" ...

Are ALL closely tied together in Bible prophecy ...

 

   "Now brethren,   (The Apostle Paul (Rabbi Shaul) is talking here to believing Christians ...)

     concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ  (Yeshua Ha'Mashiach in Hebrew)

     and our gathering together to Him ...   (Prophecies ... The coming "Rapture")  

     Let no one deceive you by any means,

     for that Day    (Prophecies: The 'Apocalypse' and Armageddon ... UPDATED) 

     will not come unless the falling away comes first ..."     (Prophecies... Churches and church leaders would "depart from the faith")  

     (churches and "Christians" turning away from and denying God's Word ... just like we are now seeing!)

     and the man of sin (the coming Antichrist) is revealed,       (Prophecies ... The coming Antichrist ... a "counterfeit" Messiah)

     the son of perdition   (another title of the coming Antichrist) 

     who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped,

     (beware ... a powerful "one-world" religious system is coming)

     so that he (the coming Antichrist)

     sits as God in the Temple of God,      (a new Jewish Temple will be built in Jerusalem)

     showing himself that he is God. 

     (Jesus warns this event will trigger the 2nd half (3 1/2 years = 1260 days) of the "Apocalypse"... the "Great Tribulation")

     Do you not remember that when I was still with you

     I told you these things?"  

     (He was with them only 3 weeks and still taught them about the Falling Away, Rapture, Antichrist, and Apocalypse)

     (2 Thessalonians 2:1-10)        (The assurance of life in Heaven  ... it's NOT too late!!!)

 

Jesus Christ (Yeshua Ha'Mashiach in Hebrew) issues a warning to many who call themselves "Christian"...

 

   "I know your works,

     that you are neither cold nor hot.   (no real love for or obedience to or faith in God's Word .(Jesus) ... John 1:1-2)

     I could wish you were cold or hot.

     So then, because you are lukewarm,   

     and neither cold nor hot,

     I will vomit you out of My mouth."   (... and into the aloneness, darkness, torment, and eternity of Hell)

     (Revelation 3:15-17)        (The assurance of life in Heaven  ... it's NOT too late!!!)      (Prophecies ... The coming "Rapture") 

 

   "And as it is appointed

     for men to die once,

     but, AFTER this   (after our earthly bodies die)

     the Judgment"      (There is no reincarnation ... no "Purgatory"...  and our thoughts and awareness will remain)

    (Hebrews 9:27)        (The assurance of life in Heaven  ... it's NOT too late!!!)      (Prophecies ... The coming "Rapture")

"Gospel" is the Greek word for "Good News"  . . .

 

   "For I am not ashamed

     of the Gospel of Christ (Messiah),   ("He died on the Cross for our sins, He was buried, and He was raised from the dead the third day")

     for it is the power of God

     to Salvation    ("salvation"... saving us from our sins and from the aloneness, darkness, and torment of Hell)

     for everyone who believes,   (Do you believe He came to die for you...  to save you from all your sins ... and from Hell?)

     for the Jew first

     and also for the Greek (Gentile)."

     (Romans 1:18)      (The assurance of life in Heaven  ... it's NOT too late!!!)

God provides prophetic insights into the attitudes of the generation living "in the last days"  . . .

 

   "Knowing this first:

     that SCOFFERS will come

     in the last days,

     walking according to their own lusts,

     and saying,

    ‘Where is the promise of His coming?"

     (2 Peter 3:3-4)       (Prophecies ... The coming "Rapture")       (Prophecies of Messiah's Return) 

 

Yet, those who know God's Word know God is filled with grace, mercy, and a willingness to forgive  . . .

 

   "The Lord is NOT slack concerning His promise (to return), 

     as some count slackness,

     but is longsuffering (patient) toward us,

     not willing that any should perish

     but that all should come to repentance."

     (2 Peter 3:9)     (The assurance of life in Heaven  ... it's NOT too late!!!)

Revelation 11:2 ... 2 Thessalonians 2:4) and the final Temple (Ezekiel 40-48) when Jesus Christ (Yeshua Ha'Mashiach in Hebrew) returns ...

 

In the book of Revelation a new Temple which will be built around the time of the coming Antichrist is mentioned ...

 

   "But leave out the court

     which is outside the Temple,  (interesting ... this is the area which is now controlled by the Islamics)

     and do not measure it,

     for it has been given to the Gentiles (non-Jews).

     And they will tread the Holy city (Jerusalem)

     underfoot for forty-two months."    (3 1/2 years ... the last half of the Great Tribulation ... the "Apocalypse.")

     (Revelation 11:2)       (Prophecies: The 'Apocalypse' and Armageddon ... UPDATED)     (Prophecies ... The coming "Rapture")

     I (God) will make Jerusalem

     a burdensome stone

     for ALL people"

   Declaring the end from the beginning,
   and from ancient times
   things that are not yet done . . ."
   (Isaiah 46:9-10

   know that it (the 'Apocalypse') is near  --  at the door!

   Assuredly, I say to you,

   this generation will by no means pass away

   till all these things take place."

   (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."

   (Zephaniah 2:2-3)

 

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

for He promises to protect and shelter all those who are found waiting in faith from the coming 'time of trouble.'
