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 'God of Israel' and the Bible . . . or . . . 'Allah' and the Koran . . . The Bible Warns One Is True . . . and One Is False
The coming Battle of Armageddon ('Hill of Megiddo') . . . Armageddon lies right in the center of that tiny Red 'Dot'
"I (God) will bless those who bless you (Israel) and will curse those who curse you". . . (Genesis 12:3)

God's "assignment" to believing Christians who follow Messiah (Christ) . . .
"Do all things without complaining and disputing (arguing)
that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God
without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation,
among whom you shine as lights in the world ..."
(Philippians 2:14) (We will one day be "graded" (judged) on how well we completed this "assignment")
Schools Limit Boy Scouts Recruiting ...
--WND (The Democrat Party now stands against everything the Boy Scouts stand for (God, family, and country) ...
--WND (Prophecies ... Wars and rumors of war ..."ethnic against ethnic") In Genesis we find God divided the Gentiles (non-Jews) into individual nations ... "into their lands, everyone according to his language, according to their families, into their nations" ... (Genesis 10:5) ... so the concept of having individual nations with national borders and with a national language is Biblical, and it is the way God wants it. Jesus Christ (Yeshua Ha'Mashiach in Hebrew) warns there would be "wars and rumors of war" ... "nation against nation" .... and "ethnic against ethnic"... growing worse and worse ... until He returns. We also know one day a coming world leader (the "Antichrist") will attempt to raise a "one-world" global government much like the one attempted at the time of the Tower of Babel. Yet. the Bible warns we will have no peace on Earth, or a single "pure" language, until Messiah returns ... and we also know He will one day judge the nations on how they treated His brethren, the children of Israel, in their Land of Israel ... (Matthew 25:31-33). (Prophecies of Messiah's Return)
--WND (Prophecies: Generation of Armageddon) ("The Emperor has no clothes"... Darwin's Theory of Evolution teaches (and promises) if you sit on the edge of a steaming volcano or bubbling hot spring in Yellowstone Park long enough with your birthday (or Earth Day) shopping list, a new puppy dog, Porsche, and computer with a quad-processor will one day crawl out ... or, better yet, if you just hang on to your old computer with Windows 98 long enough it will one day give birth to a hummingbird, a cow, or a banana ... however, not too many serious physicists or scientists cling to this proposal any longer. (As a note, I was going to say Christmas list ... but, there can be no Messiah and no Savior if you're a fundamentalist Evolutionarian ... see John 1:1-14 ... Job 38:1-39:30 ... Genesis 1:1) ... and I realize that I will get some nasty letters telling me how stupid I am ... especially since I am bucking intellectually-rich government bureaucrats and such intellectual luminaries and pillars as Al Sharpton, Hillary Rodham Clinton, Barack Hussein Obama, Sean Penn, Rob Reiner, Barbara Streisand, Snoop Doggy Dogg, and Al Gore (and all the other hand-waving fundamental professors, preachers, and believers in the Theory of Evolution, Evolutionism, or Evolutionianity ... which is actually the "Theory of There Is No God" and the "Theory of I Don't Believe The Bible".) (God's Law (not just a theory) of Heaven or Hell)
"Evolutionist" Compares Jewish Rabbi (Who Believes The Bible) To Hitler ...
--WND (Prophecies: The Generation of Armageddon ...)
You either believe the Bible or you don't . . .
"In the beginning God created the Heavens and the Earth". . .
"So God created great sea creatures
and every living thing that moves, with which the waters abounded,
according to their kind, ("according to their kind"... species! The Bible says fish won't turn into mammals)
and every winged bird according to its kind.
And God made (created) the beast of the earth according to its kind,
cattle according to its kind, ( ... the Bible says mice won't turn into cats, or cats into dogs, or monkeys into humans)
and everything that creeps on the earth
according to its kind. (and yes, there can be variations and adaptations within each specie!)
And God saw that it was good."
(Genesis 1:1,21,25)
"You are worthy, O Lord,
to receive glory and honor and power:
for You created all things,
and for Your pleasure
they are and were created."
(Revelation 4:11) (The Bible says we were created by God for His pleasure ... )
"For by Him all things were created
that are in Heaven and that are on Earth,
visible and invisible,
whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. (.... these are "ranks" of angels)
All things were created through Him
and for Him."
(Colossians 1:16)
"Him"... the "Anointed One"... "the Son"... Messiah!!!
"In the beginning was the Word . . .
and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God.
And the Word became flesh
and dwelt among us,
and we beheld His glory,
the glory as of the only begotten of the Father . . .
full of grace and truth.
He was in the world,
the world was made through Him,
and the world did not know Him.
He came to His own,
and His own did not receive Him . . . "
(Excerpted from the Book of John 1:1-14) (The Bible warns Messiah is God who "became flesh"...)
"Then God said,
"Let Us make (create) Man in Our image"
according to Our likeness ..." (One God ... plural pronoun ... as the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit)
(Genesis 1:26)
As water takes the form of a gentle rain drop, or hardened ice, or misty vapor (which to the uneducated would appear to be three completely different substances ... yet it is all still "water") ... so also God takes the form of "God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit" ... each and all are God interacting with His creation ... both in Heaven and on the Earth ... both "visible and invisible"!!!
"Kiss the Son (of God), (God who "became flesh" ...)
lest He be angry,
And you perish in the way, (condemned to an eternity in Hell)
When His wrath is kindled but a little. (For rejecting "the Son" and His great love for us ...)
Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him (the Son)" (... for they shall inherit the Kingdom of Heaven!!!)
(Psalm 2:12) (Read Psalm 2 ... the ancient rabbis knew there was a "Son" of God ..."His Anointed" ... Messiah!!!)
It's nothing new. "Evolutionists" (just like Satan) are trying to make themselves "like the Most High God"... (see Isaiah 14:12-15). Satan's first attack against Eve was to create doubt in God's Word, "Has God indeed said ...?" (Genesis 3:1-6) Do not "eat" of this "Theory" that (like the "fruit") may appear "pleasant to the eyes" and "desirable to make one wise"... yet contradicts both science and God's Word.
The Bible warns ...
"But know this,
that in the last days
perilous times will come . . .
Evil men (mankind ... men and women)
and impostors (who will claim to know something of the Bible)
will grow worse and worse,
deceiving and being deceived."
(2 Timothy 3:1, 13) (The most important to learn ... Heaven or Hell ... it's not too late!)

God's Commandment (not a suggestion) is to love others (spouses, families, friends, strangers, and even our enemies).
Biblical love is NOT a "feeling"...
Biblical love IS "attitudes" and "actions" ...
"Love suffers long (patience)
and is kind;
love does not envy;
love does not parade itself,
is not puffed up, (arrogant, self-centered, or self-righteousness)
does not behave rudely,
does not seek its own,
is not provoked,
thinks no evil,
does not rejoice in iniquity, (sinful things)
but rejoices in the truth (of God's Word)
bears all things, (the Bible warns this life will be tough)
believes all things, (in God's Word)
hopes all things, (in God's Word)
endures all things. (the Bible warns this life will be tough)

Biblical "love" is NOT a "feeling"...
Biblical "love" IS "attitudes" and "actions" ...
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love,
joy,

Against such there is no Law
And those who are Messiah's (Christ's)

let us also walk in the Spirit
Let us not become conceited,
provoking one another,

Through the prophet Ezekiel we find out what God thinks about all this . . .
"Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
'Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt in their own land,
they defiled it by their own ways and deeds;
to Me their way was like
the uncleanness of a woman in her customary impurity.
Therefore I poured out My fury on them
for the blood they had shed on the land,
and for their idols with which they had defiled it.
So I scattered them among the nations,
and they were dispersed throughout the countries;
I judged them according to their ways and their deeds.
When they came to the nations,
wherever they went, they profaned My Holy Name --
when they said of them,
'These are the people of the Lord,
and yet they have gone out of His land.'
But I had concern for My Holy Name,
which the house of Israel had profaned
among the nations wherever they went.
"Therefore say to the house of Israel,
'Thus says the Lord God:
"I do not do this for your sake, O house of Israel, (bring you back into the land of Israel ...)
but for My Holy Name's sake,
which you have profaned among the nations wherever you went.
And I will sanctify My great Name,
which has been profaned among the nations,
which you have profaned in their midst;
and the nations shall know that I am the Lord," says the Lord God,
"when I am hallowed in you before their eyes.
For I will take you from among the nations,
gather you out of all countries,
and bring you into your own Land."
(Ezekiel 36:16-24)
"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)
"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)
Jesus (Yeshua) commands us to watch and be ready .....
"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)
... for He promises to protect and shelter all those who are found waiting in faith from the coming 'time of trouble.'
