Prophecy:  The Bible warns "THE FALLING AWAY" (when churches and church leaders "depart from the faith") ... and the coming "RAPTURE"... and the "ANTICHRIST" ... and the coming "APOCALYPSE"  ("the Day of God's Wrath") are ALL CLOSELY LINKED ...

   "Now brethren,      (He is warning believing Christians ... who still love, trust, and obey God's Word)

     concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ  (Yeshua Ha'Mashiach in Hebrew)

     and our gathering together to Him ...   (Prophecies ... The coming "Rapture"... please don't be left behind)  

     Let no one deceive you by any means,

     for that Day    (Prophecies: "The Day of God's Wrath" ... The coming "Apocalypse" and Armageddon ... AFTER the "Rapture") 

     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) 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!)

     (2 Thessalonians 2:1-10)        (The assurance of life in Heaven  ... it's NOT too late!!!)     (Prophecies ... The coming "Rapture")

Here, God clearly warns all those who simply "APPROVE OF" those who practice homosexuality-lesbianism will be held just as guilty as those who actually do them ...

   "For the wrath of God is revealed from Heaven      (Prophecies:  The coming "Apocalypse"..."The Day of God's Wrath")      (Heaven or Hell)

     against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men ("mankind"... men and women) . . .

     For even their women exchanged the natural use

     for what is against nature (lesbianism).

     Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman,

     burning in their lust for one another,

     men with men committing what is shameful (homosexuality) . . .

     that those who practice these things are worthy of death (Hell),

     and not only those who do the same

     but ALSO (all those) who APPROVE of those who practice them!"

     (Romans 1:18, 26, 27, 32)  

     (Note:  Other offenses were also included which were not listed here.)

The Bible WARNS these false teachers ("ministers") would infiltrate into the churches ...

   "For such are FALSE apostles, deceitful workers,

     transforming themselves into apostles of Christ.  

     And no wonder!

     For SATAN HIMSELF transforms himself into an angel of light.  

     Therefore it is no great thing if HIS (Satan's) ministers

     ALSO transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, 

     whose end will be according to their works."

     (2 Corinthians 11:13-15)

   "BEWARE of false teachers (prophets),    

     who come to you in sheep's clothing,     (They will look very "Christian"... and will sound so confident and caring)

     but inwardly they are ravenous wolves."    ("Wolves" devour the "sheep" after dragging them down into the dark pit)

     (Matthew 7:15)        (From the Bible:  Who is Satan ... a short Bible study) 

It is false doctrine in direct opposition to God's Word that teaches God's "love" approves of or accepts homosexuality.  The Bible clearly says homosexuality-lesbianism is sin.  Jesus Christ (Yeshua Ha'Mashiach in Hebrew) was sent forth to save sinners (for we are all sinners who have come face-to-face with the fact we need a Savior to save us from our sins and from Hell).  Jesus' first command was to "repent" which means to acknowledge our sin and turn away from our sin (no matter what it is) and turn back to God.

The Bible warns anybody who "defends" or "approves of" or "promotes" or "protects" this sin (or any sin) has openly declared themselves to be an enemy of God by trying to block His loving and gracious efforts to reach out and save them. 

Whatever puffed-up feeling of "coolness," or "acceptability" that might be felt from following along with whatever this generation thinks is "right in their own eyes" at any given time is temporary and will last for only a moment ... whereas ... the absolute darkness, aloneness, and torment of Hell waiting for all who ignore, refuse to listen, or willfully disobey God's Law and mock God's Word will be permanent and never-ending ... it's your choice ... but please remember, the Bible warns all who choose to reject and ignore God's Word will be rejected by God and then cast into Hell ("the outer darkness") where "there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth"... FOREVER!     (The assurance of life in Heaven  ... it's NOT too late!!!)  

NOTE ON "HELL":  There are TWO different words (and places) the Bible warns of (and describes) which were both translated (into English) as the same word "Hell"... 

First, there is the word "Sheol" which is the name of the place or "holding tank" where all those souls (which God created) who have ignored, rebelled against, or refused to listen to God's Word, and have rejected His gracious offer (and free gift) of eternal life in Heaven, will be placed into before "the Great White Throne Judgment" (Revelation 20:11).  "Sheol" is described as "the deep or dark abyss" and "the bottomless pit" (also see Luke 16:23-25).  

Second, there is "Gehenna" which is the name of the final "place of darkness and torment" where all those who will not enter into the Kingdom of Heaven will be "cast" into after "The Great White Throne Judgment" (Revelation 20:11), described as "the outer darkness" and "the lake of fire"..."where their (flesh-eating) worm does not die" (Mark 9:44) ... and where we are told Satan, the Antichrist, and all the demons will also be cast into.

In ancient Israel "Gehenna" was the "garbage dump" located "outside the gate" of the City (Jerusalem) ... it was filled with the unbearable stench of rotting flesh and burned corpses (where fires were kept burning day and night to help cover the horrible stench) ... so shall it be with the real and eternal "Gehenna"... HELL ...  ("the lake of fire" in "the outer darkness") which we are told will be located far outside the gates of "Heaven"... located a vast distance away from the awesome beauty, the light, the pleasant aromas, and the everlasting peace (and excitement and joy and laughter) which will fill the Kingdom of Heaven forever and ever.

IF you REJECT God's Word in the Bible ... you are rejecting Christ (Messiah ... the "Savior"..."the Word of God") ... and are rejecting God's loving and gracious gift of eternal life in Heaven which He freely offers to ALL who will believe, trust, and obey ...

   "Not everyone who says to Me (Jesus), 'Lord, Lord,'     (calling themselves 'Christian')
    shall enter the Kingdom of Heaven ...
    MANY ('most' or 'majority') will say to Me in that Day (of Judgment),
    'Lord, Lord, have we not taught (prophesied) in Your Name,
    cast out demons in Your Name,
    and done many wonders in Your Name?'
    And then (at the judgment), I (Jesus) will declare to them
    'I never knew you
    Depart from Me (from Heaven and into Hell)
    you who practice lawlessness'"    ("Lawlessness"... rejecting or ignoring God's Law and God's Word given to Mankind)
    (Matthew 7:21-23)       (The assurance of life in Heaven  ... it's NOT too late!!!)       (God's Promise ...)       (Prophecies ... The coming "Rapture")

   "The young lions lack and suffer hunger;

     But those who seek the LORD shall not lack any good thing.  

     Come, you children, listen to me;

     I will teach you the fear of the LORD.  

     Who is the man who desires life,

     And loves many days, that he may see good?  

     KEEP your tongue from evil,

     And your lips from speaking deceit (lies).  

     DEPART from evil and do good;

     SEEK peace and pursue it.  

     The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous,

     And His ears are open to their cry.  

    The face of the LORD is against those who do evil,

     To cut off the remembrance of them from the Earth.  

     The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears,   (The Bible says we are "made" righteous  in Jesus Christ ... Messiah)

     And delivers them out of ALL their troubles.  

     The LORD is near to those who have a broken heart,   (God brings comfort to the broken-hearted ...)

     And saves such as have a contrite (humble) spirit."  ("But in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself"... Philippians 2-3)

Psalm 2 is a PROPHECY written to prepare Israel and the World for God's Son (His "Anointed"... Messiah ... Christ) and to warn and prepare the world of  the coming "Day of God's Wrath" (the coming "Apocalypse" and Armageddon) ...

   "Why do the nations rage,

     And the people plot a vain thing?    (Against God and God's Word)     

     The kings of the Earth set themselves,

     and AGAINST His Anointed (Messiah ... Christ),

     And cast away Their cords from us."    ("Their"... plural ... God and Messiah ... Yeshua Ha'Mashiach ... Jesus Christ)

     He who sits in the heavens shall laugh;

     The LORD shall hold them in derision.  

     Then He shall speak to them in His wrath,

     And distress them in His deep displeasure:  

   "Yet I have set My King (Messiah) On My holy hill of Zion."  (Jerusalem ... yet the "nations" will plot against Jerusalem)

   "I will declare the decree:

     The LORD has said to Me ("His Anointed"... the Messiah) ,

   'YOU (Messiah ... Christ) are My SON,   

     today I (God) have BEGOTTEN You.     (Prophecies of Messiah from the ancient Jewish Scriptures ...) 

     Ask of Me, and I will give You the nations (gentiles) for Your inheritance,

     And the ends of the Earth for Your possession.  

     You shall break them with a rod of iron;       (Prophecies: The coming "Apocalypse" and Armageddon)

     You shall dash them to pieces like a potter's vessel.' "      (Prophecies of Messiah's Return)

     Now therefore, be wise, O kings;

     Be instructed, you judges of the Earth.  

     Serve the LORD with fear,

     And rejoice with trembling.  

     Kiss the SON (Messiah ... Christ),

     lest He be angry,

     And YOU perish in the way,    (cast into Hell for rejecting or rebelling against Jesus Christ ... Messiah ... God's Son)

     When His wrath is kindled but a little.

Israeli Air Force Generals "Loudly" Demanding Strike on Iran ...

--Israel Nat'l  News       (Prophecies:  Russia, Iran, and allies will go to war ... and will attack and 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).  All people of the world should be sitting on the edge of their seats with white knuckles watching this terrible prophecy slowly start to unfold ... while those who call themselves 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 (Matthew 7:21-23) who are "lukewarm" in their faith in Jesus (Yeshua) and God's Word (Revelation 3:14-16) ... for Jesus (Yeshua) the Messiah warns all to, "Watch, therefore, and pray always (not just sometimes), that you will be counted worthy (through His worthiness) 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 and sincere believers in Jesus Christ (Yeshua Ha'Mashiach in Hebrew) 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 ...

During the coming Great Tribulation ("Apocalypse") the Bible warns ALL rivers and springs will turn to blood ...

And God tells us WHY they will turn to blood . . .

       "Then the third angel poured out his bowl

        on the rivers and springs of water, and they became blood.

        And I heard the angel of the waters saying:

       "You are righteous, O Lord,

        the One who is and who was and who is to be,

        because You have judged these things.

        (Revelation 16:4-7)

There are millions of Christians today in China, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Indonesia, Algeria, Egypt, India, and around the world, including women and children, who are being imprisoned, murdered, tortured, raped, beaten, kidnapped, beheaded, burned alive, and sold into slavery simply for their faith in Jesus Christ, while we, our churches, the leaders of our nation, and the news networks simply watch and do nothing . . .

      "I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain   

        for the Word of God and for the testimony which they held.

        And they cried with a loud voice, saying,

      "How long, O Lord, holy and true,

        until You judge and avenge our blood

        on those who dwell on the Earth?"

        Then a white robe was given to each of them;

        and it was said to them that they should rest a little while longer,

        until both the number of their fellow servants and their brethren,

        who would be killed as they were, was completed."

        (Revelation 6:9-11)       (Prophecies:  The coming "Rapture"... Jew and Gentile ... please don't be "left behind")

DURING the coming Tribulation ("Apocalypse") millions who come to the Lord will be executed.

Blessings in Heaven are promised to them . . .

God will take the sting out of death for the millions who will die in faith, and wants them to know they will be blessed in Heaven . . .

        Then I heard a voice from Heaven saying to me,

       "Write: ‘Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.’"

       "Yes," says the Spirit, "that they may rest from their labors,

        and their works follow them."

        (Revelation 14:13)

       "Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded

        for their witness to Jesus and for the Word of God,

        who had not worshiped the Beast     (Prophecies:  The coming Antichrist)  

        or his image, and had not received his mark

        on their foreheads or on their hands."

        (Revelation 20:4)

       "Now brother will betray brother to death,

        and a father his child;

        and children will rise up against parents

        and cause them to be put to death.

      "And you will be hated by all men for My Name's (Jesus’) sake.

        But he who endures to the end shall be saved."

        (Mark 13:12-13)        (God's Promise ...)       (Prophecies:  The coming "Rapture"... Jew and Gentile ... please don't be "left behind")
