The coming "Apocalypse" and Armageddon  ...

    "Behold,

       the Day of the LORD is coming,   (the coming "Apocalypse")

       And your spoil will be divided in your midst.  

       For I (God) will gather ALL the nations to battle

       against Jerusalem"

       (Zechariah 14:1-2)        (Prophecies: The 'Apocalypse' and Armageddon ... UPDATED)  

     "Then the sixth angel poured out his bowl

       on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up,

       so that the way of the kings from the East   (China and allies)

       might be prepared.

       And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs

       coming out of the mouth of the Dragon, (Satan)

       out of the mouth of the Beast, (the Antichrist)

       and out of the mouth of the False Prophet.  (a Religious Ruler ... Revelation 13:11-12)

       For they are spirits of demons,

       performing signs,  (miracles will be performed at this time)

       which go out to the kings of the Earth

       and of THE WHOLE WORLD,

       to gather them to the battle of that great Day of God Almighty.  

     "Behold, I am coming as a thief.     (Prophecies ... The coming "Rapture")

       Blessed is he who watches,

       and keeps his garments,

       lest he walk naked and they see his shame."

       And they gathered them together   (all the armies of the nations)

       to the place called in Hebrew, ARMAGEDDON."

       (Revelation 16:13-16)

The weapons will be used.  Much of the world will be destroyed.  Cities will disappear.  Armageddon means the "Hill of Megiddo."  Megiddo is part of the Plain of Esdraelon which is located in central Israel. Napoleon came through there and declared it to be the finest battlefield in the world.  The whole world will be drawn into this war over Israel and Jerusalem.  No nation will be spared.  The Bible warns there will be several deadly waves associated with this conflict, including:  An attack from the "south," an attack from the "north," a massive Chinese led invasion of the Middle East from the "east", which will then be "joined" as the armies of the Antichrist march out of Europe and around the world to the place called "Armageddon."  Jesus will return to engage this final battle Himself.  He alone will destroy the enemies of Israel.  We don’t know the time between these wars/battles/events.   We do know that God has set aside seven years to complete His plan with Israel, and this Age.

 "For you yourselves know perfectly

   that the Day of the Lord  (the coming 'Apocalypse)

   so comes as a thief in the night.

   For when they say, "Peace and safety!"

   then sudden destruction comes upon them,

   as labor pains upon a pregnant woman.      (Prophecies: The 'Apocalypse' and Armageddon ... UPDATED) 

   And they shall not escape.

   But you, brethren,   (believing Christians who have put their faith and trust in the Messiah of Israel)

   are not in darkness,

   so that this Day (the coming 'Apocalypse')

   should overtake you as a thief.

   You are all sons of light and sons of the day.

   We are not of the night nor of darkness.

   Therefore let us not sleep, as others do,

   but let us watch and be sober.     (watch what is going on around the world and know the prophecies!)

   For those who sleep, sleep at night,

   and those who get drunk are drunk at night.

   But let us who are of the day be sober,

   putting on the breastplate of faith and love,

   and as a helmet the hope of salvation.   ('Salvation'... saved ... from Hell ... and from the coming 'Apocalypse')

   For God did not appoint us (believing Christians) to wrath,   (the "Day of God's Wrath")

   but to obtain salvation   (saved from Hell ... and the coming 'Apocalypse')

   through our Lord Jesus Christ, (Yeshua Ha'Mashiach in Hebrew)

   who died for us,  (as "The Lamb of God"... our Passover lamb taking the wrath we deserve for our sins upon Himself )

   that whether we wake or sleep,

   we should live together with Him (in Heaven)."    (Thank You, Lord!!!)

   (1 Thessalonians 5:2-10)     (Tale of Two Rabbis in 1st Century Israel ... Rabbi Jochanan ben Zakkai and Rabbi Shaul of Tarsus)

     "Blow the trumpet in Zion (Israel),

       A day of darkness and gloominess,

       a day of clouds and thick darkness,

       like the morning clouds spread over the mountains.

       A people come, great and strong (the armies of the Antichrist),

       the like of whom has never been;

       nor will there ever be any such after them,

       even for many successive generations.

       (This final Battle may build sometime after the Russia-Iran invasion of Israel)

       A fire devours before them, and behind them a flame burns . . .

       Every one marches in his own column. (A disciplined army)

       Though they lunge between the weapons, they are not cut down.

       They run to and fro in the city, they run on the wall;

       they climb into the houses, they enter at the windows like a thief.

       The Earth quakes before them, (Tank battalions?)

       the heavens tremble; (Helicopters, bombers, and jet fighters?)

       The sun and moon grow dark,

       and the stars diminish their brightness." (Smoke will fill the air)

       (Joel 2:1-10)        (Prophecies: The coming "Apocalypse" and Armageddon ... UPDATED)  

       and a great whirlwind shall be raised up

       from the farthest parts of the Earth.

       And at that Day the slain of the LORD

       They shall not be lamented,

       or gathered, or buried;

       they shall become refuse on the ground.        (Prophecies: The coming "Apocalypse" and Armageddon ... UPDATED)  

       Wail, shepherds, and cry!

       Roll about in the ashes, you leaders of the flock!   (He now switches to unbelieving religious and political leaders in Israel)

       you shall fall like a precious vessel.

       And the shepherds will have no way to flee,

       nor the leaders of the flock to escape.

       A voice of the cry of the shepherds,

       and a wailing of the leaders to the flock will be heard.

       For the LORD has plundered their pasture,

       And the peaceful dwellings are cut down

       because of the fierce anger of the LORD.

       He has left His lair like the lion;

       for their Land (Israel) is desolate

       because of the fierceness of the Oppressor,

       and because of His (God’s) fierce anger.’"

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

    '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 oppose God's Word is "lawlessness")

The Bible warns Sodom and Gomorrah were given as an "example" and warning 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)      (The assurance of life in Heaven  ... it's NOT too late!!!)      (Prophecies ... The coming "Rapture") 

 "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)       (Prophecies: The coming "Apocalypse" and Armageddon ... UPDATED)  

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  homosexuality is a symptom (like a festering tumor) of a people who are filled with "arrogance" and  "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,   ("NOBODY (including God) is 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 priests, rabbis, ministers, and 'reverends' were assuring the people in the pews that God's Word and God's Law didn't really mean what it said and didn't really apply to them and they could continue to do whatever felt good or right "in their own eyes," even when in direct opposition to 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 worse), and this time it will come against the whole world!    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 sinners ... 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') 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,' and the 'Day of God's Wrath'  ...

Messiah's (Jesus Christ ... Yeshua Ha'Mashiach in Hebrew) return at the time of Armageddon . . . .

     "Now I saw Heaven opened,

       and behold, a white horse.

       And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True,

       and in righteousness He (Jesus Christ) judges and makes war.

       His eyes were like a flame of fire,

       and on His head were many crowns.

       He had a Name written that no one knew except Himself.

       He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood,

       and His Name is called The Word of God. . .

       Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword,

       that with it He should strike the nations. 

       And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron.

       He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.

       And He has on His robe and on His thigh a Name written ...

       (Revelation 19:11-16)      (Prophecies of Messiah's Return) 

Don't miss the significance here ... this is Jesus (Yeshua) who will save the children of Israel and destroy her enemies.  When you study this awesome prophecy describing the final return of Jesus Christ (Yeshua Ha'Mashiach in Hebrew) and the many other prophecies describing this same event . . . Jesus, the Messiah, is returning to save Israel from the nations and armies of this world who will accuse her of "unjustly occupying" the Land.  According to the Bible, the "right side" is "Israel's side" in this coming battle.  Believing Christians should never turn against Israel.  However, there are many Christian churches and denominations who have accepted the "Roman" doctrine that the Church has replaced Israel in God’s plan.  This doctrine is not found in the Bible ... and it is dead wrong!!!   The Church (drawn from both Jews and Gentiles) and nation Israel have two separate prophetic destinies.  For the Church, (both Jews and non-Jews who believe in and receive Jesus as Messiah and Savior before the Rapture), Jesus returns as the "Bridegroom" to shelter and protect us from the wrath which will soon pour out upon mankind, and then (later), for the Jews of Israel who have gone through the Great Tribulation (those who will then recognize Him as their promised "Messiah"), He will return as the promised King, the son of David, (above all on Earth).  Sadly, for some (yet unknown) reason the U.S. will not be there for Israel in that Day.  Israel must stand alone.  Her only hope is in God, Jesus (Yeshua), the Messiah . . .     (Prophecies ... The coming "Rapture")      (The assurance of life in Heaven  ... it's NOT too late!!!)
