NOTE:  Every now and then a "cluster" of headlines will appear that may cause something to stir inside the heart of those who know the Bible and the prophecies of the Bible well.  This past week (the Holiest Week in God's Calendar) included such a "cluster" of reports and headlines.  Some will understand and some will not ... but for all it is a time to examine ourselves to see if our hearts are hardened or softened towards God's Word, and to prayerfully consider these things we are now seeing ... and to search the Scriptures to see if these things reflect God's Word of warning to us and to all Mankind.  As noted earlier, this site is "Non-Denominational" and simply uses God's Word as found in the Bible as the "standard" we are to love, fear, trust, and obey.

Below is a "cluster" of reports from this week that may cause a stir in the hearts of those who take God's Word seriously ...

Jordan And Palestinian Authority (Formerly PLO) Sign Agreement To "Defend" Jerusalem From "Judaization"...

--Israel Nat'l News      (Bible Prophecies:  ISRAEL and JERUSALEM)       (Prophecies ... The "RAPTURE")      (Prophecies:  The "APOCALYPSE" and ARMAGEDDON)      The modern nation of Jordan includes the ancient Biblical nations of Ammon, Moab, and Edom ... and they are all are "related" to Israel ... Moab and Ammon through Lot-Abraham and Edom through Esau (Israel's brother) ... and many prophets and Bible prophecies (including Psalm 83) warn Jordan will one day join a conspiracy against Israel, and God will one day judge and destroy Jordan (Moab-Ammon-Edom) in a terrible and permanent way for their deceptive, treacherous, and evil actions against Israel.  But, before the final judgment against Jordan, the prophet Daniel (in Daniel 11:41) warns Jordan will be spared from the coming Antichrist's hand (for reasons yet unknown) just before the coming War of Armageddon (when all the armies of the world will first assemble at Armageddon in Israel) but, where the final battle will take actually take place in Bozrah (Edom-Jordan ... Micah 2:12) where the remnant of Israel (who will one day be forced to flee from the Land of Israel) will be gathered during Israel's coming (and final) "Time of Trouble" (Jeremiah 30:7 ... also see Matthew 24, Mark 13, Luke 21.)      (Prophecies:  ARMAGEDDON)       (Bible Prophecies:  MESSIAH'S RETURN)

New Pope Calls For "Peace" In Israel During His First Easter Message ...

--Koenig/Fox News      (Bible Prophecies:  ISRAEL)      (Prophecies:  The coming ANTICHRIST)       The coming Antichrist will be a very popular World Leader and will be considered a man of "Peace"...

      "Then I saw ANOTHER beast coming up out of the Earth,

        and he had two horns like a lamb

        and spoke like a dragon.

        And he exercises all the authority

        of the first beast (the Antichrist) in his presence,

        and causes the Earth and those who dwell in it

        to worship the first Beast (the Antichrist),

        whose deadly (head) wound was healed."

        (Revelation 13:11-12)       (The Antichrist will appear to be resurrected from a wound)

The coming Antichrist will not be alone.  Another man, also empowered by Satan, will rule with the Antichrist.  This powerful religious leader or "beast" (as God sees him) will rise to power with the Antichrist.  In this prophecy God reveals some important information and details concerning this coming "religious" man of power ...

"Two horns like a lamb," tells us he will emerge with Christian credentials or doctrine, but "spoke like a dragon" tells us he will be controlled and directed by Satan.  This person, along with a coming "one-world" (global) religious system he will lead, is referred to as "The Woman Who Rides the Beast" in the book of Revelation.  This evil, blood-thirsty "one-world" religion appears to rise out of ROME.  

New Pope Francis Meets With First Living Predecessor Pope In Over 600 Years ...

--Drudge/BBC      (Prophecies:  The coming ANTICHRIST)     Pope Francis is the first Jesuit Pope in history ... the Jesuits are the "military" arm of the Catholic Church.  The Jesuit leader is called the "Black Pope" because of his black robe ... and he quietly wields great power.  The Jesuits' were formed to eliminate all Protestant (Bible believing) Christians by any means ... do your own study of the Roman Catholic "Black Pope and White Pope"...  and the Jesuit influence over the wars in Europe (and all around the world.)

“This war (the Civil War) would never have been possible without the sinister influence of the Jesuits. We owe it to popery that we now see our land reddened with the blood of her noblest sons. Though there were great differences of opinion between the South and the North on the question of slavery, neither Jeff Davis nor anyone of the leading men of the Confederacy would have dared to attack the North, had they not relied on the promises of the Jesuits, that, under the mask of Democracy, the money and the arms of the Roman Catholic, even the arms of France were at their disposal, if they would attack us. I pity the priests, the bishops and monks of Rome in the United States, when the people realize that they are, in great part, responsible for the tears and the blood shed in this war. I conceal what I know, on that subject, from the knowledge of the nation; for if the people knew the whole truth, this war would turn into a religious war, and it would at once, take a tenfold more savage and bloody character. It would become merciless as all religious wars are. It would become a war of extermination on both sides. The Protestants of both the North and the South would surely unite to exterminate the priests and the Jesuits, if they could hear what Professor Morse has said to me of the plots made in the very city of Rome to destroy this Republic, and if they could learn how the priests, the nuns, and the monks, which daily land on our shores, under the pretext of preaching their religion, instructing the people in their schools, taking care of the sick in the hospitals, are nothing else but the emissaries of the Pope, of Napoleon, and the other despots of Europe, to undermine our institutions, alienate the hearts of our people from our constitution, and our laws, destroy our schools, and prepare a reign of anarchy here as they have done in Ireland, in Mexico, in Spain, and wherever there are any people who want to be free.” - President Abraham Lincoln

--NewsMax      (Prophecies:  The coming ANTICHRIST)      (ISLAM vs THE WORD OF GOD)      (Prophecies:  FALSE PROPHETS would rise ...)      The Bible warns a coming World Leader (the "Antichrist") will be considered "a man of peace"...  Yet, in his opening address at the Fourth General Conference of Latin American Bishops, Pope John Paul II said Bible believing (sometimes called "evangelical") Christians are like "rapacious wolves" that must be eliminated.

The New Archbishop Of Canterbury (Anglican-Episcopalian) "Enthroned"... Catholic Archbishop Included In Ceremony

--AFP      (Prophecies:  The coming ANTICHRIST)      (Prophecies: "APOSTASY"... CHURCHES "Will FALL AWAY" ... "DEPART from the faith")

--NewsMax      (Prophecies: "APOSTASY"... CHURCHES "Will FALL AWAY" ... "DEPART from the faith")      (Prophecies:  The coming ANTICHRIST)      Those Christians called the "religious right" are coming into the crosshairs around the world ... the "religious right" are simply Bible-believing Christians ... earlier, Pope John Paul II (in his opening address at the Fourth General Conference of Latin American Bishops) said Bible believing (sometimes called the "religious right" or "evangelical") Christians are like "rapacious wolves" that must be eliminated.   (Prophecies:  Believing Christians will be hated)

God has warned ALL Mankind ... the time draws near

--Drudge/Reuters      (Prophecies ... WARS and rumors of war)      

--Fox News      (Prophecies:  RUSSIA and allies will go to war...)      (Bible Prophecies:  CHINA and allies will DESTROY 1/3 of MANKIND...)

--Russia News      (Prophecies:  RUSSIA and allies will go to war...)      (Bible Prophecies:  CHINA and allies will DESTROY 1/3 of MANKIND...)

--Russia News      (Prophecies:  RUSSIA and allies will go to war ... and will attack Israel)      (Prophecies:  The "APOCALYPSE" and ARMAGEDDON)

From Russia:  US Will Need 5-7 Ground Based Interceptors To Intercept One New Russian Nuclear ICBM ...

North Korea Photographs Released Show Plans For "Strategic" (Nuclear) Missile Strikes Against US Mainland ...

--Drudge/Reuters      (Prophecies:  RUSSIA and allies will go to war ...)      (Bible Prophecies:  CHINA and allies will DESTROY 1/3 of MANKIND ...)      RUSSIA and CHINA control North Korea's (and Iran's) every move ... North Korea's first "Great Leader" was an officer in the Russian Army during WWII ... he was later transferred and placed in power over North Korea by RUSSIA.  Stalin called Russian-bred allies such as Iran and North Korea "icebreakers" directed by Russia to weaken and distract the enemy ... another good term for Iran and North Korea would be well-trained and vicious "attack dogs" straining on the end of Russia (and China's) leash.

--World Tribune      (Prophecies:  RUSSIA - IRAN - TURKEY will attack and will invade ISRAEL ...)      

--World Tribune      (Bible Prophecies:  ISRAEL)      (Prophecies:  SYRIA ... DAMASCUS will be utterly DESTROYED)    

THIS WAR will be unlike any other war in history ... this war will unleash a series of irreversible events which will change the world forever.  God has set aside two whole chapters in the Bible to warn Mankind of this coming war ... God warns Iran (Persia), with Russia (Magog), and a coalition of allies (including Turkey, Libya, 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. 

God has warned ALL Mankind ...

       (Habakkuk 3:16)

      "I will punish the world for its evil,

        and the wicked for their iniquity ...

        I will halt the arrogance of the proud."

        (Isaiah 13:11)      (Prophecies:  The coming "APOCALYPSE" and ARMAGEDDON)

Video:  "Fireball" Meteor Lights Up Skies From Florida To New England ...

--Drudge/CBS      (Prophecies:  "FEARFUL SIGHTS and great signs from heaven")      (Prophecies:  The coming "APOCALYPSE")      Mankind will one day see "fearful sights" from heaven ...

5.8 Magnitude Earthquake Rattles Mexico City ... Video

--HalLindsey/YouTube      (Prophecies:  "And there will be EARTHQUAKES in diverse places"...)       The children of Israel sitting in their homes in Jerusalem can now hear of earthquakes around the world within a day (or even hours) of when they occur ... this Bible prophecy is REMARKABLE because just after revealing a startling prophecy concerning the Jewish Temple which was then still standing in Jerusalem (yet destroyed 38 years after the Cross exactly as Jesus prophesied) ... Jesus (Yeshua) gave this prophecy concerning the hearing of "earthquakes in diverse places" which could only be fulfilled far in the future when there would be global communications technology capable of reporting worldwide earthquakes as they happen ...  (Prophecies ... KNOWLEDGE AND TRAVEL would increase around "the time of the end")

God has warned ALL Mankind ...

They would set a price on Him of 30 pieces of silver . . .

which would then be thrown into the potter's field

 "So they weighed out for my wages thirty pieces of silver.

   And the LORD said to me, ‘Throw it to the potter’ -

   that princely price they set on me."  

   (Zechariah 11:12-13)

The Messiah would be despised and rejected . . .

He would deeply feel the pain of rejection

 "He is despised and rejected by men,

   A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief."

   (Isaiah 53:3)

The Messiah would be despised by the world and rejected by Israel

  "The Redeemer of Israel, their Holy One,

   To Him whom man (the world) despises,

   To Him whom the nation (Israel) abhors."

   (Isaiah 49:7)

The Messiah would be beaten, bloodied, and would die for our iniquities (sins)

so we could escape the judgment . . . the darkness and torments of Hell

 "But He was wounded for our transgressions,

   He was bruised for our iniquities;

   The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,

   And by His stripes (whip lashes) we are healed.

   And the LORD has laid on Him the iniquity [sin] of us all."

   (Isaiah 53:5-7)   (The Hebrew noun used for 'He' was singular and cannot refer to the whole nation of Israel ...)

He would be Crucified . . . a torturous and agonizing death

 "All My bones are out of joint . . .

   My tongue clings to My jaws;

   They pierced My hands and My feet,

   They look and stare at Me."

   (Psalm 22:14, 15, 16, 17)    (Prophecies of MESSIAH from the ancient Jewish Prophets)       (Prophecies:  MESSIAH'S RETURN)
