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 coming Battle of Armageddon ('Hill of Megiddo') . . . Armageddon lies right in the center of that tiny Red 'Dot'

God's Word provides REAL hope ...
"We know that ALL things work together for good,
to those who love God
and are called according to His purpose." (ALL things ... not just some things or most things)
(Romans 8:28) (The Bible says all things work together for good ... only to those who love God)
"Let your requests be made know to God, with thanksgiving,
and the peace of God,
which surpasses all understanding
will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." (Finding Hope and Comfort in Times of Trouble ...) (God's Promise ...)
(Philippians 4:6-7) (Believing Christians are given a peace (even in the most difficult times) that is beyond understanding)

--NewsMax (God's Law: Homosexuality) (Prophecies... Churches and church leaders will "depart from the faith") (Prophecies ... The "Rapture")
Bible Prophecy: The Bible warns the predicted "Falling Away" (when churches and church leaders "depart from the faith" and "will no longer endure sound doctrine") ... the coming "Antichrist" ... the coming "Rapture" ... and the coming "Apocalypse" ... are ALL closely linked ...
"Now brethren, (The Apostle Paul (Rabbi Shaul) is warning believing Christians ...)
concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ (Yeshua Ha'Mashiach in Hebrew)
and our gathering together to Him ... (Prophecies ... The coming "Rapture")
Let no one deceive you by any means,
for that Day (Prophecies: "The Day of the Lord" ... The coming "Apocalypse" and Armageddon ... UPDATED)
will not come unless the falling away comes first ..." (Prophecies... Churches and church leaders will "depart from the faith")
(churches and "Christians" turning away from and denying God's Word ... just like we are now seeing!)
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 terrible and powerful "one-world" (ecumenical) 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?" (Paul was only with them for 3 weeks ("Sabbaths") ... so, these warnings are important!)

An excerpt: The National Weather Service received reports of a possible tornado near downtown Minneapolis, where winds tore off part of a 90-year-old metal church steeple.
Jack Freitag said he was standing in the lobby of the Central Lutheran Church in Minneapolis when he saw "a wall cloud from the south coming across the parking lot." Then a "very loud roar" came through as he saw signs being blown around in the wind. The wind tore off part of the church's 90-year-old metal steeple around 2 p.m. while about 120 people were inside, said church spokesman Joe Bjordal.
Outside the church, strong winds ripped apart large outdoor tents and scattered chairs and folding tables across the parking lot that were set up for the national Evangelical Lutheran Church in America convention. The church was scheduled to serve breakfast to guests attending the event at the Minneapolis Convention Center next door.

The Bible warns fear is the opposite of faith . . .
"The LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away;
Blessed be the Name of the LORD."
(Job 1:21) (Finding Hope and Comfort in Times of Trouble ...) (God's Promise ...)
"But without faith
it is impossible to please Him (God),
for he who comes to God
must believe that He is,
and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him."
(Hebrews 11:6) (What the Bible tells us to do, feel, and think in times of trouble is the exact opposite of what our "flesh" wants to do ...)
"If any of you lacks wisdom (concerning your situation),
let him ask of God,
who gives to all liberally and without reproach,
and it will be given to him.
But let him ask in faith,
with NO doubting,
for he who doubts
is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.
For let not that man (the one who doubts)
suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord"
(James 1:5-7) (The assurance of life in Heaven ... it's NOT too late!!!) (Prophecies ... The coming "Rapture")

"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)
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")
