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!!!
To Readers: This week's update is a little early because I will be traveling for a couple of days ...

Hizbullah Admits Rockets Fired Into Israel During Lebanon War Were Directed By Iran ...
--WND (Prophecies...Russia, Iran, Turkey and allies 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). 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)

The Biblical Importance of Forgiving Others ... "How To Forgive!"
--DavidHocking.org Many like to hang on to anger and take forgiveness lightly. Now, let's hear what the Bible warns ...
Jesus Christ (Yeshua Ha'Mashiach in Hebrew) warns,
"For if you forgive men their trespasses,
your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
But if you do not forgive men their trespasses,
neither will your heavenly Father forgive your trespasses."
(Matthew 6:14-15 ... at the end of the 'Lord's Prayer')
"Bless those who persecute you,
Bless and do not curse ...
Repay no one evil for evil.
Have regard for good things in the sight of all men.
If it is possible, as much as depends on you,
live peaceably with all men.
Beloved, do not avenge yourselves,
but rather give place to wrath.
For it is written,
'Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,' says the Lord.
Therefore, if your enemy is hungry, feed him;
if he is thirsty, give him a drink;
For in doing so you will heap coals of fire on his head.
Do not be overcome by evil,
but overcome evil with good."
(Romans 12:17-21)
"Because narrow is the gate
and difficult is the way
which leads to life [in Heaven],
and there are few who find it."
(Matt 7:14) (Put all of your faith and trust in that Jesus (Yeshua) died to save you from your sins and He rose again the third day ... and you will find it)

"And have you forgotten the exhortation [the encouraging words]
which God speaks to you as sons [and daughters]?
He said . . . ‘My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord,
nor be discouraged when you are rebuked by Him;
For whom the Lord loves He chastens,
and scourges every son whom He receives.’
For if you endure chastening, God deals with you as sons [and daughters]
for what son is there whom a father does not chasten?"
(Hebrews 12:5-7)
"Now, no chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but painful;
nevertheless, afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness
to those who have been trained by it."
(Hebrews 12:11)

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.'
