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

Israel and Its New Leader Head For Collision With The US Under Obama and His Administration ...

How Obama's America Might Threaten Israel ...
--Drudge/CommentaryMagazine (Prophecies: The US will be "neutralized"... then Russia, Iran, and allies will attack Israel)
--WND (Prophecies ... The coming "Rapture") (Prophecies ... The coming Antichrist) The Bible never tells Christians to fix the world ... nobody, including Christians will ever bring peace to this world before Messiah returns (except for the coming "Antichrist" (a counterfeit-Messiah) who will bring forth a short-lived "peace" and will be considered a "man of peace"... the Bible (from thousands of years ago) warns and tells us nobody on Earth can stop the wars and rumors of war, the famines, or deadly diseases ... the Bible even warns it will continue to get worse and worse until Messiah (Christ in English) returns to rule after the coming "Apocalypse" and war (battle) of Armageddon. Christians are told to tell people about Jesus Christ (Yeshua Ha'Mashiach in Hebrew) who will save them from this world (which has been under the curse since Adam sinned in the Garden). We are to tell people how faith and trusting in Jesus (Yeshua) as their "Savior" will save them from the aloneness, darkness, and torment of Hell (where "there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth" Matthew 13:50) ... and how we can be washed clean of all our sinful filthiness by His innocent blood and then be clothed in His perfect Righteousness before God. The Bible explains how we can be "born again"... this time by choice ... with a heavenly spirit and not as earthly flesh ... (John 3:3-7) ... as a "new creation" of God (which includes both Jew and Gentile) which now has peace with God (whose perfect justice against our sins was satisfied when "the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world" took upon Himself the punishment for all of our sins which we have committed against God's Law ..."Once and for all!!!") And we are told because of this "substitution" we are now "reconciled" to God (just as Adam and Eve were before the fall) so we can have fellowship with Him, and only then can be called His Sons and Daughters ("adopted" through His Son.) We are also told to tell people how Jesus (Yeshua) will help us and lead us through the great trials and difficulties found in this life and world ... and that He now prepares an "abiding place" (for all those who believe) in His Kingdom of Heaven. My friends, now is not the time to complain and murmur about the state of this nation and world ... but, we are to recognize these are the signs Jesus (Yeshua) warned us to watch out for just before the "great Day of the Lord." We are fast approaching the end of the Day of God's Grace ("the Day of Christ") which is the time allotted for God's Grace and forgiveness of sins for all (men, women, boys, and girls) to be freely poured out upon all who will believe and trust in Jesus Christ in faith ... a Day which will end with the "Rapture." We are told and warned that after the removal of all those who are found waiting in faith (the "Rapture") the world will enter into "the Day of the Lord" (also called the "Great Tribulation" and the "Apocalypse"... which is called a Day of "Wrath," a Day of "Darkness," a Day of "Trouble" and "Desolation"... when we are told God's fierce anger will be poured out upon all those who have rejected His Son and His Love and His Grace and are now in rebellion against Him. We are told God is patient ("long-suffering") ... "not willing any should perish but that all should come to repentance" (which means to turn back to God and His Word). He has waited patiently for around 2000 years ... but there is a Day we are told when He will remove the remnant of believers who are still left on Earth ("in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye"... 1 Corinthians 15:51-52) and the door of shelter and escape will slam shut (just as God Himself shut the door on Noah's Ark.) Many church pews and pulpits will (unfortunately) still be filled after the "Rapture" with all those who do not believe or teach the staggering message of hope through the Blood, the Death, the Burial, and powerful Resurrection of the Son of God, Jesus Christ (Yeshua Ha'Mashiach), who stepped forth from Eternity ("from of old, from everlasting"... Micah 5:2) as the only way into Heaven, as God warns His Creation (Mankind) through His Word in the Bible (John 14:6 ... John 3:16-18.) The Day is real ... and the hour is set. The Bible tells us to examine ourselves (in our faith) ... especially if we do not feel any sense of urgency or desire for that Day to come when Messiah (Christ) will return for His "Bride" (who we are told is the whole body of believers who have endured and waited in faith) to save us from the "wrath to come."

The Bible clearly tells us we can't earn our way into Heaven through any good deeds ...
"For by GRACE you have been saved (from your sins and from Hell)
through faith (in Jesus Christ ... Yeshua Ha'Mashiach in Hebrew),
and that not of yourselves;
it is the gift of God, (‘Grace’ is getting something we don’t deserve … we can't buy this gift)
not of works, (we can't earn it or buy it)
lest anyone should boast." (we are told it’s a gift from God … we just have to receive it)
(Ephesians 2:8) (The assurance of life in Heaven ... it's NOT too late!!!) (Prophecies ... The coming "Rapture")
--Drudge/Reuters (Prophecies ... The coming Antichrist)
"Little children,
it is the last hour;
and as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming,
even now many antichrists have come,
by which we know that it is the last hour."

The Offer . . .
"For God so loved the world
that He gave His only begotten Son,
that whoever believes in Him (means to fully trust in Jesus (Yeshua) 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-Yeshua)
is condemned (to Hell) already" (The implications of this verse are staggering!)
(John 3:16-18) (The assurance of life in Heaven ... it's NOT too late!!!)
“Jesus said to her,
‘I am the Resurrection and the life (in Heaven).
He who believes (trusts) in Me,
though he may die (the first 'bodily' death),
he shall live (forever ... in Heaven).
And whoever lives and believes in Me
shall never die (the second death ... "Hell").
Do you believe this?’" (This is the question every man and woman must answer)

--Jerusalem Post/Caroline Glick (Prophecies: The US will be "neutralized"... then Russia, Iran, and allies will attack Israel)
--World Tribune (Prophecies: The US will be "neutralized"... then Russia, Iran, and allies will attack Israel) "Neutralized"... means unwilling or unable to defend Israel against her enemies (for whatever reasons ... US political shift ... economics ... and/or war.) The Bible warns Israel must stand alone ... with God. Remember, the Bible warns "at the time of the end" all nations will turn against Israel (Zechariah 14:1-2 ... Joel 3:1-2 ... Revelation 16:13-16) ... but, it is sad to see it happening ... it is like watching the water recede from the beach just before a great tidal wave ... remember ... Armageddon is in Israel.
