This weekly news update is being sent because the Bible warns us often 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 Apocalypse ... Armageddon ... and Messiah's Return.
For the first time in history this prophetic 'equation' is nearly complete . . . and all in this generation!!!
To Readers: This week's update is a little early because I will be traveling for a couple of days ...

"We know that all things work together for good,
to those who love God ..." ( Even though we may never know the "How?" or "Why?" until we get to Heaven.)
(Romans 8:28)
'The Foolish Wise Man' ... The Man Who Had Everything ... and Found It All Empty Without God
--WND/Greg Laurie God granted Solomon wisdom. Here is Solomon's final summary of life ...
"Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter:
Fear God and keep His Commandments,
For this is the whole duty of Man,
For God will bring every work into judgment,
Including every secret thing,
Whether it is good
or whether it is evil."
(Ecclesiastes 12:13-14)
--WND (Bible Warnings: Homosexuality and Abortion) (Prophecies: The Generation of Armageddon will be marked by "immorality")
"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 ...)
Cartoon Character Bart Simpson To Show Full Frontal Nudity In Upcoming Feature Film ...
--Drudge/Canada (Prophecies: The Generation of Armageddon will be marked by "immorality") Many do not notice or care how the world is now effectively 'desensitizing' us and our children to immorality ... and to what is right and wrong ... and what is good and evil ...
"Do not love the world or the things in the world.
If anyone loves the world,
the love of the Father is not in him. (Not a good thing ... this life is short ... but life in Heaven and Hell will last forever!)
For all that is in the world -
the lust of the flesh, (sins that draw us away from God and His Word - alcohol ... drugs ... gossip ... sexual sin ... anger … money ... etc)
the lust of the eyes, (sex ... violence ... addictions to ... television ... movies ... video games... music ... internet ... pornography ... etc.)
and the pride of life - ("Nobody is going to tell me what to do" ... "I deserve better" ... "Oh, what would others think if I said I believe the Bible")
is not of the Father,
but is of the World."
(1 John 2:15-16) (The Bible warns we will all struggle with it ... it's better to stop and seek God's forgiveness than to try and act 'cool')
"Do you not know that friendship with the world
is enmity with God?
Whoever, therefore, wants to be a friend of the world
makes himself an enemy of God." (Not a good thing when He is the One who determines who goes to Heaven and Hell)
(James 4:4)
Many will hate those who will say anything derogatory about 'Hollywood' showing Bart Simpson exposing himself to our kids. Beware, this is the type of thing the 'world' now calls 'entertainment' . . .
Jesus prayed,
"If the world hates you,
you know that it hated Me before it hated you.
If you were of the world,
the world would love its own.
Yet because you are not of the world, (the Bible promises believing Christians their citizenship is now in Heaven)
but I chose you out of the world,
therefore the world hates you."
(John 15:18-19)
This life is not a popularity contest ... but a time to try and get as many boys, girls, men, and women into Heaven as possible ...
"I have given them Your Word;
and the world has hated them
because they are not of the world,
just as I am not of the world.
I do not pray that You should take them out of the world,
but that You should keep them from the Evil One (Satan)."
(John 17:14-15) (From the Bible: Heaven or Hell)
Christians Are The Target of New "Hate Crimes" Bill ...
--WND (Prophecies ... The coming Antichrist) (Prophecies ... Christians will be hated) (Prophecies: The Generation of Armageddon) In the Bible we find God raises up evil nations to judge those who have turned against Him and His Word ...
Russia's Putin Warns the United States of "Mutual Destruction" In Missile Defense Plan ...
--AFP (France) (Prophecies...Russia, Iran, and allies will invade Israel) (Prophecies ... The coming Apocalypse)
Russia and China ... "One Clenched Fist"
--JR Nyquist (Prophecies...China and allies will destroy 1/3 of mankind) (Prophecies...Russia and allies will invade Israel) (The coming 'Apocalypse')
--Ynet (Prophecies...Russia, Iran, Turkey and allies will invade Israel) (Prophecies ... Wars and rumors of war) 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). Bible students should be sitting on the edge of their seats with white knuckles watching this terrible prophecy slowly start to unfold ... while believing 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 (followers of the Messiah) or 'lukewarm' in their faith ... for Jesus-Yeshua the Messiah warns all to, "Watch, therefore, and pray always (not just sometimes), that you will be counted worthy 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 believers and followers of the Messiah) 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)

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)
"When you see
these things,
know that it is near - -
at the door."
(Mark 13:29)
"Watch therefore,
and pray always
that you may be
counted worthy to escape
all these things
that will come to pass . . ."
(Luke 21:36)
"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)
"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.'
