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!!!

Jesus Christ (Yeshua Ha'Mashiach in Hebrew) gives us a glimpse of what lies ahead . . .
"Also I say to you, whoever confesses Me (Jesus Christ) before men,
him the Son of Man also will confess before the angels of God.
But he who denies Me before men
will be denied before the angels of God."
(Luke 12:8-9)
In the Bible we find God raises up evil nations to judge those who have turned against Him and His Word . . .

Hamas Determined to Build Gaza Into A Forward Base For Iran and Wipe Israel Off the Map ...
--Debkafile (Prophecies...Russia, Iran, Turkey, Sudan and allies will invade Israel) (Prophecies ...'Gaza') 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)

--WND (Prophecies of the Messiah) (Prophecies ... The coming 'Rapture') (Prophecies ... Messiah's return) When Rabbi Yitzchak Kaduri died in February 2006 (at the age of somewhere between 106 and 117 ... 300,000 people attended his funeral) he left a sealed note which he asked to be opened and read exactly one year after his death. One year later (February 2007) when they opened and read his sealed note which would reveal the name of the One whom he had come to believe is the Messiah of Israel, they found he had written the name "Yehoshua" ("Yeshua") ... the Hebrew name for Jesus. His son and others became angry and are saying it must be a forgery (even though others have reported tests showed the handwriting on the sealed note matched the famed Rabbi's handwriting.) As a further note, another famous rabbi named Rabbi Shaul, whose name was later changed to Paul, wrote many of the later books in the Bible which also revealed that the name of the Messiah of Israel was "Yehoshua" ("Yeshua") ... the Hebrew name for Jesus... and in the book of Hebrews he presents his powerful case to the children of Israel from a Rabbinical point of view. There should be no 'gloating' from believing Christians ... but a sense of expectation that the time of Messiah's return nears and the "fullness of the Gentiles" is nearly complete ...
"For I do not desire, brethren,
that you should be ignorant of this mystery,
lest you should be wise in your own opinion, (for all those churches who think they have somehow 'replaced' Israel)
that blindness in part (not all) has happened to Israel
until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in.
And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written ..."
(Romans 11:25-26)
"For you are all sons (and daughters) of God through faith in Christ Jesus (Yeshua Ha'Mashiach in Hebrew) ...
There is neither Jew nor Greek (non-Jew),
slave nor free,
male nor female,
for you are all one in Christ Jesus (Yeshua Ha'Mashiach in Hebrew)."
(Galatians 3:26,28)

--Drudge/Politico The following is from a (WWII) wartime report by the U.S. Office of Strategic Services (the OSS later became the CIA) which described the political tactics used by Adolf Hitler and his Nazi (National Socialist) political party to gain and hold on to power ...
"His (Adolf Hitler and the National Socialist Party - Nazi's) primary rules were: Never allow the public to cool off; never admit a fault or wrong; never concede that there may be some good in your enemy; never leave room for alternatives; never accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong; people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough, people will sooner or later believe it."
(Excerpted from an earlier article by WND/Rutz)
Hundreds of Illegals (Non-Citizens) Have Registered to Vote in Texas County...
--Drudge/WOAR (Prophecies ... "Evil men (and women) will wax worse and worse"... lying, "deceiving, and being deceived") I wonder who registered these 'non-citizens' to vote ... and I wonder which party they will vote for and help sway an election for. The socialist 'mantra' in Western Europe and the US over the past twenty years has been "Use Democracy to Destroy Democracy." As our nation turns its back on God we are seeing a marked increase in 'lawlessness' among elected officials. This illegal voting tactic is not new. The Democrats have used illegal 'voting' tactics effectively to help them gain control over many levels of government. Here is an earlier report and example from the Boston Globe of how they illegally gained another Congressional House seat. After Republican Congressman Dornan lost his seat in Congress to Democrat Sanchez in 1996 he presented the House of Representatives with clear evidence of vote fraud but the House refused to consider action ...
"An investigation by the Immigration and Naturalization Service following Dornan's 1996 defeat by Democrat Loretta Sanchez found that 4,023 'non-citizens' may have cast ballots in that election. Dornan lost by 984 votes." (Boston Globe)
Earlier: Democrats Push For Legalizing Bestiality (Sex With Animals) in Massachusetts ...
--Lifesite.net (Prophecies ... The 'Generation of wrath' will be "morally corrupt" and "filled with violence") Not since the deepest and darkest depravity of the Roman Empire have such things been offered to 'entertain' a people . . . in the Bible we find God will raise up evil nations to sorely judge those nations who have turned against Him.

"And it shall come to pass in all the Land (Israel), says the Lord,
That two-thirds of it shall be cut off and die, (for unfaithfulness and unbelief - similar to the generation in the Wilderness)
but one-third shall be left in it:
(only one-third in Israel will survive the coming time of trouble ... even fewer in the world)
I will bring the one-third through the fire,
will refine them as gold is tested.
They will call on my Name,
and I will answer them.
I will say, 'This is My people';
and each one will say, 'the LORD is my God.'"
(Zechariah 13:8-9)
"For
I am God, and there is no other.
for I am God, and there is none like me . . .
Declaring the end from the beginning,
and from ancient times
things that are not yet done."
(Isaiah 46:9-10)
"Search from the book of the LORD, and read:
not one of these [prophecies] shall fail;
not one shall lack her mate.
For My mouth has commanded it,
and His Spirit has gathered them."
(Isaiah 34:16)
"Indeed I [God] have spoken it;
I will also bring it to pass.
I have purposed it;
I will also do it.
Listen to Me, you stubborn-hearted,
who are far from righteousness . . ."
(Isaiah 46:11-12)
"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."
(Zephaniah 2:2-3) (God has a wonderful plan for the children of Israel ... and for all who will trust in Her Messiah.)

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.'
