Jesus warns those who trust in THEMSELVES to get into Heaven ...

 

   "He (Jesus) also told this parable to some

     who trusted in themselves

     that they were righteous,

     and treated others with contempt:

 

   “Two men went up into the Temple to pray,

     one a Pharisee (a religious ruler)

     and the other a tax collector (a despised segment of society).

 

     The Pharisee,

     standing by himself,

     prayed thus:

 

    ‘God, I thank You that I am not like other men,

     extortioners, unjust, adulterers,

     or even like this tax collector.

     I fast twice a week;

     I give tithes of all that I get.’

 

     But the tax collector,

     standing far off,

     would not even lift up his eyes to Heaven,

     but beat his breast, saying,

    ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’

 

     I tell you,

     this man      (the one who realized he was a sinner ... and needed to be saved into Heaven)

     went down to his house justified,     (his sins forgiven ... and the Bible warns we're ALL sinners!)

     rather than the other.      (The one who didn't think he needed a "Savior"... thinking his "goodness" would outweigh any sin)

 

     For everyone who exalts HIMSELF

     will be humbled,   (brought very low ... down into the darkness, torment, and loneliness of Hell)

     but the one who HUMBLES himself

     will be exalted.”   (Lifted up into the Kingdom of Heaven ... through the "Lamb of God" ... who died for us and rose from the grave)

     (Luke 18:9-14)     (GOD'S PROMISE)       (The ASSURANCE of life in Heaven  ... it's NOT too late!!!)

Russia Preparing Army For The Arctic ... Includes 8 New Arctic Nuclear Attack Submarines To Block US Subs

--Pravda  (Russia)      (Prophecies:  WARS and rumors of war)      (Prophecies:  RUSSIA, IRAN, and allies will go to war ... and will invade ISRAEL)

 

   “Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say to Gog,  

     ("Gog" the leader of "Magog" ... Russia)

     Thus says the Lord GOD:

     On that day when My people Israel dwell safely, will you not know it?

     Then you will come from your place

     out of the far NORTH,   (literally "uttermost parts of the North" ... take a globe and look "FAR north" of Israel)

     you and many peoples with you,

     all of them riding on horses,

     a great company and a mighty army.

     You will come up against My (God's) people Israel

     like a cloud, to cover the land.

     It will be in the latter days

     that I (God) will bring you against MY Land (Israel),

     so that the nations may know Me,

     when I am hallowed in you, O Gog, before their eyes.”   (For God alone will destroy this invading army ...)

     (Ezekiel 38:14-16)     (Prophecies:  The coming RAPTURE)

Turkey Bans Israel From NATO Summit ...

--Ynet  (Israel)      (Prophecies:  RUSSIA, IRAN, TURKEY, and allies will go to war ... and will invade ISRAEL)      Many people will simply yawn and ignore these Headlines and Bible Prophecies ... yet, God does NOT fulfill His prophecies or prophetic warnings in secret, but so all the world can see.  For many years a number of Bible prophecy teachers and scholars have been warning the one piece of the puzzle missing was for TURKEY (a NATO ally-nation) to turn toward Russia and Iran and against Israel (as this prophecy predicts.)  The world has waited over 2,500 years to see the headlines we are now seeing.  This prophetic war between Iran and Israel has never yet taken place ... and it is very much a part of the coming "Apocalypse" and Armageddon scenario.  God has been warning and preparing this generation for this coming war for well over 10 years ... and the headlines concerning this coming war can now be found almost daily all around the world.  God is trying to get our attention and to draw those who are His back to Him before it is too late.  With open arms and with tears of joy God promises to welcome and to shelter and comfort ALL who will come to Him before these events take place (or before their earthly bodies die) ... yet, the Bible warns God will not mourn, nor have mercy, on those who reject and ignore and mock His Word and His warnings.     (Prophecies:  The "RAPTURE"... don't be "left behind")     (The ASSURANCE of life in Heaven  ... it's NOT too late!!!)

North Korean Military Warns of "Special Actions" Soon ... Claims 4 Minutes To Reduce South Korea Into Ashes

--NewsMax      (Prophecies:  WARS and rumors of war)      RUSSIA and CHINA control North Korea's every move ... Russia's national game is chess ...  chess is a game of patience and deception ... Russia views itself as the "king" seated safely in the rear while skillfully maneuvering others such as Iran, North Korea, Islam's "Terror" Forces, Venezuela, Zimbabwe, Sudan, China, etc. to engage and attract their enemy's attention all across the globe ... while misdirecting their enemy's attention away from the real danger ... Russia and China will attempt to deliver their planned death blow with what Chinese war-planners call the "Assassin's Mace" while their enemy's attention  is directed elsewhere and they least expect it.  

 

YET, they arrogantly and foolishly ignore God (who Created them) and God's Word.  God has revealed HIS Plan for ALL Mankind in the Bible ... all the answers are in the back of the Book ... GOD WINS ... THEY LOSE.   (The Book of REVELATION - With Notes)      (Prophecies:  RUSSIA)     (Prophecies:  CHINA)     (Prophecies:  IRAN)     (Prophecies ...

Russian Military Experts Publish Study On "How to Win a Modern War"...

--Russia News      (Prophecies:  WARS and rumors of war)      (Prophecies:  RUSSIA and allies will go to war ... and will invade Israel)      It should be noted that while Russia and China are moving into full production of their state-of-the-art "5th Generation" fighter-jets the Obama Administration has cancelled ours.  Over the past 4 years Obama and his Democrat Party's DEFENSE policies have been directed by Socialist (Marxist-Soviet) doctrines of weakening, crippling, and destroying America's national defense ... NOT strengthening it.  Simply step back and watch ... every Democrat Party defense policy now strengthens Russia-Iran-China's ability to attack and destroy us ... and weakens our Military's ability to protect and defend us.

 

Britain, France, Israel, And Gulf Allies Urgently Trying To Stop Obama's Secret Moves Which Strengthen Iran ...

--Debkafile  (Israel)      (Prophecies:  The US will be "NEUTRALIZED" ... THEN ... RUSSIA, IRAN, and ALLIES will invade Israel)      Over the past 4 years Obama and his Democrat Party's DEFENSE policies have been directed by Socialist (Soviet-Marxist) doctrines of weakening, crippling, and destroying America's national defense ... NOT strengthening it.  Simply step back and watch ... every Democrat Party defense policy now strengthens Russia-Iran-China's ability to attack and destroy us ... and weakens our Military's ability to protect and defend us.

 

If you step back and look objectively at the News Headlines over the past years (concerning Economic, Defense, Domestic, and Foreign policies) you will find it appears Obama, Clinton, Panetta, and the core Democrat Party Leaders have been acting as agents of a foreign power (Russia-China and their allies) while undermining the vital interests of America, Israel, and our Allies.

 

Israel Cannot Rely On Americans Or Europeans As Allies When Confronting Threats From Islamic Neighbors ...

--Jerusalem Post/Caroline Glick      (Prophecies ... ISRAEL)      The Bible warns "at the time of the end" (around the time of the coming "Apocalypse" and Armageddon (also called the "Time of Jacob's (Israel's) Trouble"- Jeremiah 30:7) ALL NATIONS (including the US) will unite (united nations?) and turn against Israel (Zechariah 14:1-2 ... Joel 3:1-2 ... Revelation 16:13-16) ... but, it is heart-wrenching to see it happening ... it is like watching the water receding from the beach just before a great and terrible tidal wave strikes.  Remember ... Armageddon is in Israel.  Also remember ... through the return of Jesus Christ (Yeshua Ha'Mashiach in Hebrew) ... a faithful remnant of Israel WINS ... and will rule over the nations in peace.  

 

Iran Rides High As Obama Turns Away From Israel ... He's Using False Promises From Iran To Set New Course

--Debkafile  (Israel)      (Prophecies:  The US will be "NEUTRALIZED" ... THEN ... RUSSIA, IRAN, and ALLIES 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 those who call themselves 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 Jesus (Yeshua) and 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 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)

MESSIAH came forth from Heaven to SAVE sinners ...

 

   "He (Jesus) entered Jericho and was passing through.

     And there was a man named Zacchaeus.

     He was a chief tax collector and was rich.

 

     And he was seeking to see who Jesus was,

     but on account of the crowd he could not,

     because he was small of stature.

 

     So he ran on ahead

     and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him,

     for He (Jesus) was about to pass that way.

 

     And when Jesus came to the place,

     He looked up and said to him,

   “Zacchaeus, hurry and come down,

     for I must stay at your house today.”

 

     So he hurried and came down

     and received him joyfully.

 

     And when they (the religious rulers) saw it, they all grumbled,

   “He (Jesus) has gone in to be the guest of a man who is a sinner.”

 

     And Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord,

   “Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor.

     And if I have defrauded anyone of anything, I restore it fourfold.”

 

     And Jesus said to him,

   “Today Salvation has come to this house,

     since he also is a son of Abraham.

     For the Son of Man (Messiah) came     

     TO SEEK AND SAVE THE LOST.”          (Prophecies of MESSIAH ...)      (Also see Daniel 7:12-14 where he describes the "Son of Man")

     (Luke 19:1-10)     (GOD'S PROMISE)       (The ASSURANCE of life in Heaven  ... it's NOT too late!!!)

--WND/EllisWashingtonReport      (Prophecies:  BELIEVING Christians will be hated)      (Prophecies:  The coming ANTICHRIST)      The German national Socialists (NAZIs) brutally hanged this Christian pastor (with piano wire) then burned his body just 3 weeks before Hitler (who was originally spawned and nurtured by Stalin's Russian Socialists) committed suicide.  (As a note, after Russia opened some of their files after the Soviet "collapse" in 1991, it was revealed Russian Socialists had slaughtered somewhere around 200,000 Christian pastors and leaders ... and on some occasions they would herd the Christian leaders out in the dead of winter to spray them with water until frozen dead.)

The Bible warns Sodom and Gomorrah were given as a warning and "EXAMPLE" for coming generations  ...

 

 "As Sodom and Gomorrah,

   and the cities around them in a similar manner to these, ( 5 cities were destroyed including Sodom and Gomorrah)

   having given themselves over to sexual immorality

   and gone after strange flesh, (homosexuality)

   are set forth as an example,

   suffering the vengeance of eternal fire."

   (Jude 1:7)      (WARNING SIGNS of the Apocalypse:  We will know when we are close)

 

 "And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes,

   condemned them (Sodom and Gomorrah) to destruction,

   making them an example

   to those who afterward would live ungodly ..."

   (2 Peter 2:6)    (The ASSURANCE of life in Heaven  ... it's NOT too late!!!)       (Prophecies:  The coming "RAPTURE"... don't be "left behind")

 

In Ezekiel (written a thousand years after Sodom and Gomorrah were judged and destroyed) God explains why ... (and remember, to God "a thousand years is as one day"... Psalm 90:4 ... 2 Peter 3:8).   God warns open homosexuality is a visual symptom of a people (or nation, or world) who are filled with "arrogance" and sinful "pride" ("Nobody ... not even God ... is going to tell me what to do!") ...

 

  "This was the sin (iniquity) of your sister Sodom:

   She (Sodom) and her daughter (Gomorrah) had pride,   ("God is not going to tell me what to do!")

   fullness of food,

   and abundance of idleness;   (sounds a lot like our generation)

   neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy,

   and they were arrogant (haughty) ...   ("I don't care what God says in the Bible!"... "I'll do what feels right to me!")

   Therefore, I (God) took them away as I saw fit."   (He destroyed ('cleansed') them with fire ...)

   (Ezekiel 16:49)

 

In these verses, God links open homosexuality in a society to sinful "pride" and "arrogance"... the sin of Satan.  Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed ('cleansed' with fire) because they were filled with pride and arrogance while flaunting their sexual immorality and their homosexuality openly before God.   They mocked God and they had no fear of God.   They were also found guilty of having "fullness of food" without acknowledging God who provided it, and having "an abundance of idleness" in the land (basically they ate, drank, watched TV, and allowed their "Gay Pride" parades) ... the people had become so de-sensitized to sin they even stood by as their homosexuals tried to 'gang-rape' the two men/angels God sent to warn Lot ... while their worthless 'reverends', priests, rabbis, and ministers (just like Satan in the Garden) were seductively assuring the people in the pews that God's Word and God's Law did NOT really mean what it said and did NOT really apply to them and they could continue to do whatever felt good or right "in their own eyes," even when in direct disobedience to God's Word and God's Law ...

 

All of this reflected their lack of belief and their arrogant and rebellious attitudes toward God and His Word.   Sin meant nothing to them ... and there was no fear of God.  Would these charges convict any people or nation(s) you know today?   God's judgment against Sodom was was given as a warning!   The Bible warns the coming "Apocalypse" will be like the judgment against Sodom (only much worse), and this time it will be global!

   

Our time is short.   God is pleading with us to stop (repent of) our sinful ways and return to Him before it's too late.  With open arms and with tears of joy He will welcome any and all who willingly return to Him through the One He sent forth to save us from our sins (and from Hell) ... Jesus (Yeshua) ... the promised Messiah.   And, as with Lot (and as with Enoch before the Flood when God 'cleansed' the Earth with water), God promises to remove ('Rapture') all those who will sincerely return to Him in faith before the coming "Apocalypse," which the Bible also calls "the Great Tribulation," "the Time of Jacob's (Israel's) Trouble," "the Day of the Lord," the "Time of the End," and the "Day of (God's) Wrath" ...       (Prophecies:  The coming "Rapture"... Jew and Gentile ... don't be "left behind")

MESSIAH (Jesus Christ in English ... Yeshua Ha'Mashiach in Hebrew) teaches we MUST forgive ...

 

   "And He said to His disciples,

   “Temptations to sin are sure to come,

     but woe to the one through whom they come!

     It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck

     and he were cast into the sea

     than that he should cause one of these little ones to sin.     ("Little ones" means new Christians ...)

 

     Pay attention to yourselves!

 

     If your brother (another Christian) sins,

     REBUKE him,   (from Scriptures)

     AND if he repents,

     FORGIVE him,

 

     AND if he sins against you

     SEVEN TIMES in the day,

     AND turns to you seven times,

     saying, ‘I repent,’

     you MUST forgive him.”

     (Luke 17:1-4)

 

   "FOR if you forgive OTHERS their trespasses,

Note:  Many people today do not know whether or not they (or their loved ones) will go to Heaven.  Many have not been adequately (or honestly) taught what the Bible actually says and teaches ...

 

   "For God so loved the world

     that He GAVE His only begotten Son,   ("In this the love of God was manifested toward us..."

     that whoever BELIEVES (trusts) in Him      (to trust in Jesus alone to save us from our sins and from Hell)

     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"    (No second chances for any who reject or ignore what God did for us on the Cross)

     (John 3:16-18)     (Jesus greatly LOVED us to save us from Hell ... all God asks is we love Him for all He has done for us.)

 

For the ASSURANCE of Life in Heaven (and of having ALL of your sin and guilt completely removed) . . . A.C.T. NOW!!! 

 

-  Acknowledge you are a sinner ... and have sinned against God's Law

-  Confess your sins to God

-  Trust (believe) completely in Jesus Christ  (Yeshua Ha'Mashiach in Hebrew) ...

     -  He (lovingly and willingly) died for all of your sins on the Cross ... and His innocent blood washes away ALL our sins

     -  He was buried ... 

     -  He was raised (Resurrected) from the dead the third day ... and now waits to see if you are "with" Him or "against" Him

-  Turn back to God ... and turn away from sinful activities ("repent") ... He will welcome you with tears of joy.

 

When you believe and trust in (and love) Jesus Christ as your "Savior" (who lovingly saves you from your sins and from Hell) ... and then turn away from your sinful ways and turn back to God ("repent"), you can have the complete peace and assurance in your heart that when you die, you will enter into His Kingdom of Heaven ... forever and ever it’s God’s Promise!!! 

 

The ONLY thing God asks a NON-believer to do is to "believe"... Jesus (God) did ALL the work ... life in Heaven is offered as a GIFT!!! 

 

 

Grace and Shalom
