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 Word concerning the generation who will mock Him and His Word  . . .

 

       "I will punish the world for its evil,

        and the wicked for their iniquity ...

        I will halt the arrogance of the proud."

        (Isaiah 13:11)      (The assurance of life in Heaven  ... it's NOT too late!!!)      (Prophecies ... The coming "Rapture") 

 

When you study the Bible you will find God ALWAYS says what He means ... and means what He says.

 

       "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)     (Have you hardened your heart against God and His Word?   He is trying to call you back to a place of safety ...)

 

The Feast of Pentecost (May 31) ... Barashat Shavuot ... Joy To The World

--Jerusalem Post/Shlomo Riskin  (Note:  Rabbi Riskin is one of the most respected Bible teachers in Israel.)     (Prophecies of Messiah)   (Prophecies ... The coming "Rapture")     (Tale of Two Rabbis in 1st Century Israel ... Rabbi Jochanan ben Zakkai and Rabbi Shaul of Tarsus)    (Prophecies: Messiah's Return)     For the believing Christian, Pentecost (Shavout ... 50 days after the Feast of Firstfruits) is one of the four Holiest Days (so far) of the awesome prophetic fulfillments of the Messiah ... including the Birth of the Messiah in Bethlehem (see Micah 5:2), Passover (the Crucifixion), and Resurrection Sunday (The "Feast of Firstfruits" ... which falls on the "first day (Sunday) after the Sabbath (Saturday) following Passover"), because Pentecost is when God poured out His Holy Spirit upon (into) the "body" of believers who would lovingly choose and be chosen to follow the Messiah of Israel (as a "new creation" of God ... "born again" in the Spirit and not in the Flesh).  The "mystery" (that which had not been revealed before in Scriptures) was that Gentiles (the "wild branch") would also be saved through God's Grace along with the Jews (the "true branch") ... this is why Pentecost is the only Feast of Israel when the children of Israel are told to eat leavened bread (which represents Gentiles, or a type of sin.)  The children of Israel read the book of Ruth (the Gentile bride of Boaz) from whom both King David and Jesus Christ (Yeshua Ha'Mashiach in Hebrew) are descended ... (see Luke 3:32 and Matthew 1:5 in the genealogies of Jesus ... which were the only genealogies saved from the time of the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 AD.)  Hmmmm ... I wonder why God would only save the genealogies of Jesus of Nazareth ("the Branch") who was born in Bethlehem (the city of Ruth-Boaz and King David)?  (See Micah 5:2)

 

NY Times Warns U.S. May Reduce Support For Israel In UN ...

--Jerusalem Post     "I (God) will bless those who bless you (Israel) and will curse those who curse you"  (Genesis 12:3)   Remember, the Bible warns "at the time of the end" ALL nations will turn against Israel (Zechariah 14:1-2 ... Joel 3:1-2 ...  Revelation 16:13-16) ... but, it is heart-wrenching to see it happening ... it is like watching the water receding from the beach just before a great and terrible tidal wave strikes ... remember ... Armageddon is in Israel.

 

From Israel:  "Obama's Decrees Are Like Pharaoh's"...

--Jerusalem Post     (Prophecies:  The US will be "neutralized"... then Russia, Iran, and allies will attack Israel)  "Neutralized"... means unwilling or unable to defend Israel against her enemies (for whatever reasons ... US political shift against Israel ... economics ... and/or ... war.)  The Bible warns Israel must stand alone ... with God.  

 

"Hillary's Kiss (For Mrs. Yasser Arafat) is Still a Kiss"... Sec'y of State Clinton and Obama Try To Divide Israel

--WND     (Prophecies ... Israel and Jerusalem after becoming a nation ... UPDATED)     (Many of you have been poorly taught when it comes to what the Bible says God will do to those who will try to divide Jerusalem ... He calls Jerusalem the "pupil" of His eye (some translations translate pupil "apple"... and God warns Jerusalem was given to the children of Israel as the eternal capital of Israel!!!)

 

God also warns ...

 

   "Behold, I (God) will make Jerusalem

     a cup of trembling    (anger, fear)

     unto all the people (nations) round about . . ." 

     (Zechariah 12:2)

 

   "And in that Day  (the 'Day of the Lord' ... the coming "Apocalypse")

     I (God) will make Jerusalem

     a burdensome stone

     for ALL people" 

     (Zechariah 12:3)  

 

Don’t miss this . . . God warns He is the One stirring things up!

In times of trouble  . . .

 

   "In You, O LORD,

     I put my trust;

     Let me never be put to shame.  

     Deliver me in Your righteousness,

     and cause me to escape;

     Incline Your ear to me, and save me.  

     Be my strong refuge,

     To which I may resort continually;

     You have given the commandment to save me,

     For You are my Rock and my Fortress."

     (Psalm 71:1-3)       (Finding Hope and Comfort in Times of Trouble ...)       (God's Promise ...)   

 

   "For You (LORD) are my Rock and my Fortress;

     Therefore, for Your Name's sake,

     Lead me and guide me."

     (Psalm 31:1-3)       (Finding Hope and Comfort in Times of Trouble ...)       (God's Promise ...)   

 

   "The righteous cry out,

     and the LORD hears,

     And delivers them out of ALL their troubles.  

     The LORD is near to those who have a broken heart,

     And saves such as have a contrite (humble) spirit.  

     MANY are the afflictions of the righteous,

     But the LORD delivers him out of them ALL ...."      (We are commanded to be led by faith in God ... and not by fear and worry.)

     (Psalm 34:15-22)       (The assurance of life in Heaven  ... it's NOT too late!!!)      (Prophecies ... The coming "Rapture") 

 

Marxist-Socialist Brazilian Gov't Seeking To Ban Christian TV From Daytime Programming ... Called "Homophobic"

--WND.OneNewsNow     (God's Law:  Homosexuality and Abortion)       (Prophecies:  A generation of evil will rise ... the generation of Armageddon) 

 

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 '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'  ...

 

"For I am God, and there is no other.
   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

 

 "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.'
