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)

     for that Day    (Prophecies: The 'Apocalypse' and Armageddon ... UPDATED)

     and the man of sin (the coming Antichrist) is revealed,       (Prophecies ... The coming Antichrist ... a "counterfeit" Messiah)

     the son of perdition   (another title of the coming Antichrist) 

     who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped,

     (beware ... a powerful "one-world" religious system is coming)

     so that he (the coming Antichrist)

     sits as God in the Temple of God,      (a new Jewish Temple will be built in Jerusalem)

     showing himself that he is God. 

     (Jesus warns this event will trigger the 2nd half (3 1/2 years = 1260 days) of the "Apocalypse"... the "Great Tribulation")

     Do you not remember that when I was still with you

     I told you these things?"

Jesus Christ (Yeshua Ha'Mashiach in Hebrew) warns ...

    of him the Son of Man will be ashamed (on the day of Judgment)  . . ."

 In the Bible (Tanakh) God gives us a clear description which explains why His judgment will fall upon a generation . . .

 

 "In those days there was no king in Israel,

   but every man  (mankind ... men and women)

   did that which was right in his OWN eyes."  (... and not in God's eyes, which He reveals to us  through His Word.)

   (Judges 17:6 and again in Judges 21:25)  

 

This generation in Israel, the US, and the World is guilty of the same rebellion against God's Word  ...

 

 "Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes

   and prudent in their own sight!"   (while they oppose, deny, and ignore God's Word because it doesn't "feel" right ...)

   (Isaiah 5:21)  ("Woe" is a terrible, terrible, curse ...)

 

Jesus Christ (Yeshua Ha'Mashiach in Hebrew) rebuked the religious leaders and teachers for following and teaching "traditions of men" rather than the Word of God ... God gave the Bible to Mankind and He expects us to learn it, know it, teach it, and to follow it ... He warns against anybody (or any church or synagogue) mixing in non-Biblical teachings with His Holy Word ... beware if your church or synagogue is mixing in, following, or teaching "traditions of men" that either ignore, add to, take away from, or contradict the Scriptures.  There is safety between the covers ... the front cover and the back cover of the Bible!

 

 Jesus (Yeshua) rebuked them, saying ...

 

 "For laying aside the commandment of God,

   you hold the tradition of men!"

   (Mark 7:8)        (The assurance of life in Heaven  ... it's NOT too late!!!) 

 

 "He (Jesus-Yeshua) said to them (religious leaders),

   'All too well you reject the commandment of God,

   that you may keep your tradition ...   (following the "traditions" and dictates of men ... not of God)

   Making the Word of God of no effect    (doing that which is right in their own eyes ...)

   through your tradition which you have handed down ...  (through teachers, rabbis, reverends, ministers, or Popes)

   And many such things you do.'"   (How many non-Biblical "traditions" is your church or synagogue teaching?)

   (Mark 7:9,13)    (Beware if your church or synagogue is teaching "traditions" of men that are not in the Bible ...)

 

Israel Rejects U.S. Call To Halt Jerusalem Project ...

--Drudge/AP      (Prophecies ... Israel and Jerusalem after becoming a nation ... UPDATED)     (Prophecies ... The coming "Rapture")    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.

Note:  Many people today do not know whether or not they (or their loved ones) will go to Heaven.  Many have not been adequately taught what the Bible actually says and teaches ...

 

For the Assurance of Life in Heaven . . . ACT (A.C.T.T) NOW!!! 

 

-  Acknowledge you are a sinner and have sinned against God's Law ...

-  Confess your sins to God

-  Turn back to God and God's Word ... and away from sinful activities ("repent")

-  Trust (believe) completely in Jesus Christ  (Yeshua Ha'Mashiach in Hebrew) ...

     -  That He died for your sins on the Cross ...

     -  That He was buried ... 

     -  That He was powerfully raised (Resurrected) from the dead the third day ...

     -  And that He is now seated on His throne ... in Heaven!!!     (Notice He did all the work ... all you have to do is "believe.")

 

If you do these things … sincerely and in faith … the Bible says you can have the complete assurance of eternal life in Heaven.  The Bible tells us Jesus (Yeshua) did all the work for you when He died on the Cross, was buried, and was raised (resurrected) from the dead through the fearful ... and wonderful ... power of God.  The Bible says you can’t add anything to it!  When you turn away from your sinful ways and turn back to God ("repent") ... then believe and trust in (and love) Jesus Christ as your "Savior" (who lovingly saves you from your sins and from Hell) you can have the complete peace and assurance in your heart that when you die, you will enter into His Kingdom of Heaven ... forever and ever it’s God’s Promise!!! 

 

The only thing God asks a non-believer to do is to "believe"... God (Jesus) did ALL the work ... life in Heaven is offered as a gift!!! 

 

Yet, many don't realize God’s loving offer (see below) 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    (to trust in Jesus alone to save us from our sins and from Hell)

     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)

     IS CONDEMNED (to Hell) ALREADY"     (The implications of this verse are staggering!)

     (John 3:16-18)     

 

   "For by GRACE you have been saved (from your sins and from Hell)

     through faith (in Jesus Christ),

     and that not of yourselves;

     it is the gift of God,   (‘Grace’ is getting something we don’t deserve…we can't earn this gift)

     NOT of works,   (we can’t and won’t enter Heaven through any “good deeds” we have done)

     lest anyone should boast."   (We are told it’s a gift from God … we just have to receive it.)

     (Ephesians 2:8)       (The assurance of life in Heaven  ... it's NOT too late!!!)       (Prophecies ... The coming "Rapture")
