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

The coming Battle of Armageddon ('Hill of Megiddo') . . . Armageddon lies right in the center of that tiny Red 'Dot'

Open Letter To Israel's Prime-Minister ..."Mr. Netanyahu, We Stand With You"
--WND/Janet Porter "I (God) will bless those who bless you (Israel) and will curse those who curse you" (Gen. 12:3)
--Drudge/Jerusalem Post (Prophecies ... Wars and rumors of war) (Prophecies ... Russia and allies will go to war ... and 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 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 (Matthew 7:21-23) who are "lukewarm" in their faith in 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 He also warns that never in the history of Mankind has there been (or will there be) anything as terrible as the coming "Apocalypse" (also called the "Great Tribulation"... Matthew 24:21 ... and "the time of Jacob's (Israel's) trouble"... Jeremiah 30:7) and only a small remnant of the world will survive ... yet, 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) (Prophecies: The 'Apocalypse' and Armageddon ... UPDATED)
From Russia: Iran and Israel Ready To Go To War ...
--Russia News Agency (Prophecies ... The coming "Rapture") (Prophecies ... Russia and allies will go to war ... and will invade Israel) There are many good Bible scholars and teachers who believe the "Rapture" of the Church MUST take place sometime BEFORE this coming war starts ... or ends.

As a note ... we are warned Hell will be filled with worldly and wise ("in their own eyes") skeptics, philosophers, and procrastinators. For the "skeptical," please ...
- Just study the Bible prophecies
- Read and study the world news (beware of tightly controlled sources such as CNN and MSNBC)
- Reference world history books (to see if these things have or even could have happened before)
... you will soon find it takes a hardened heart and calloused mind (well molded, indoctrinated, and intimidated by the world) to ignore (or deny) God's Word. As noted before, the message found in the Bible is not trivial ... it is staggering!!!

God's warning to all ...
"When I (God) bring the sword upon a land,
and the people of the land take a man from their territory
and make him their watchman,
when he sees the sword coming upon the land,
if he blows the trumpet and warns the people,
then whoever hears the sound of the trumpet
and does not take warning,
if the sword comes and takes him away,
his blood shall be on his own head.
He heard the sound of the trumpet,
but did not take warning;
his blood shall be upon himself.
But he who takes warning will save his life (in Heaven).
But if the watchman sees the sword coming
and does not blow the trumpet,
and the people are not warned,
and the sword comes and takes any person from among them,
he is taken away (his or her soul after he dies) in his iniquity (sin);
but his blood I will require at the watchman's hand."

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 ...)
"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;
who put darkness for light, and light for darkness ..."
(Isaiah 5:20) ('Woe' is a terrible, terrible, terrible curse)
"So it will be at the end of the Age.
The angels will come forth,
separate the wicked from among the just,
and cast them into the furnace of fire.
There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth."

God's warning to all . . .
"When I (God) say to the wicked,
‘You shall surely die (in Hell),’
and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked
from his wicked way, to save his life (eternal life in Heaven),
that same wicked man shall die in his iniquity (sin);
but his blood I will require at your hand.
"Yet, if you warn the wicked, and he does not turn
from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way,
he shall die in his iniquity;
but you have delivered your soul.
"Again, when a righteous man
turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity,
and I lay a stumbling block before him, he shall die (be sent to Hell);
because you did not give him warning, he shall die in his sin,
and his righteousness which he has done shall not be remembered;
but his blood I will require at your hand.
"Nevertheless if you warn the righteous man
that the righteous should not sin, and he does not sin,
he shall surely live because he took warning;
also you will have delivered your soul."

The Lord's Offer contains both a "blessing" and a "curse" . . .
"For God so loved the world
that He gave His only begotten Son,
that whoever believes in Him (Jesus-Yeshua) (means fully "trusts" in Him alone to save them from their sins)
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" (The implications of this verse are staggering!)

"Beloved, while I was very diligent to write to you
concerning our common salvation,
I found it necessary ("compelled") to write to you
exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith
which was once for all delivered to the saints.
For certain men (and women) have crept in unnoticed, (now church leaders)
who long ago were marked out for this condemnation,
ungodly men (and women),
who turn the grace of our God into lewdness . . .
(who corrupt, twist, ignore, deny, or refuse to teach God’s word in the Bible)
But I want to remind you, though you once knew this,
that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt,
afterward destroyed those who did not believe."
(Jude 1:3-6) (God's Word ... the rules are the same for every generation.)
"Now the Spirit (of God) expressly says
that in latter times some (church leaders ... reverends, ministers, rabbis, priests, bishops, popes)
will depart from the faith,
giving heed to deceiving spirits
and doctrines of demons
(opposing things the Bible says ... in direct opposition to God's Word)

that blindness in part has happened to Israel
until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in."
(Messiah is also a "Light unto the Gentiles"... fulfilling God's Word)
(Romans 11:25)
"In part"... many Jews today follow Jesus (Yeshua) as their Messiah.
"When you see these things happening,
know that it (the 'Apocalypse') is near -- at the door!
Assuredly, I say to you,
this generation will by no means pass away
till all these things take place."
(Mark 13:29)
Jesus (Yeshua) commands us to watch and be ready ...
for He promises to protect and shelter all those who are found waiting in faith from the coming 'time of trouble.'
