JUNE 6th  – NO SURPRISE.

Here we are on the 6th of June, and the Day of Pentecost has come and gone; this is really no surprise.   Let me share a few thoughts with you about this.

  1. Jesus said in Matthew_25:5  “As the bridegroom was delayed, they all became drowsy and slept.”
  2. Matthew 24:48-50  “But if that wicked servant says to himself, ‘My master is delayed,’  and begins to beat his fellow servants and eats and drinks with drunkards,  the master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he does not know.” 
  3. Matthew 24:42  “Therefore, stay awake, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming.” 

It is for these reasons that I have always taught that we must be ready, watching, waiting, and longing for our Bridegroom to come and snatch us away from this world at any moment of any day.

In the first of the reasons it is no real surprise we are still here. We note that the bridegroom was only a few hours late, and that half of the virgins waiting to greet him had not fully prepared, as the result, although they ALL slept, when the call went out that the Bridegroom was coming, half of the virgins had to go and buy oil for their lamps, thus missing out on the Bridegrooms arrival.

To me this speaks of a relationship problem in their lives. Oil is a symbol of the Holy Spirit, and they had allowed their relationship with God to grow “Lukewarm” Revelation 3:16  “So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth.” 

Jesus is coming for a Bride who is truly in love with Him, 24 hours a  day seven days a week, every day of the year; if we want to go gallivanting off with other friends and forget that our Bridegroom could be coming at any moment, then we are not someone Jesus would want as part of His Bride.

The second reason is seen in a  parable where we see the servant’s master was delayed for some time and began to behave badly. To me this speaks of a person who WAS a Christian but got tired of being tied down to the “True Christian” walk, and was overcome by the world and the desires for the things and ways of the world, resulting in him becoming a backslider, and paying the inevitable price of going back to the sinful way of life.  

1 John 2:15  “Do not love the world or anything that belongs to the world. If you love the world, you do not love the Father.”  (Or the Son, as they are one)  Sadly this applies to many “nominal Christians” – and to many who were Christians, but have fallen away.

2 Thessalonians 2:3  “Give no belief to false words: because there will first be a falling away from the faith, and then comes the revelation of the man of sin, the son of destruction.”

If this is your situation today, I suggest if you want to be part of the Rapture, you need to repent, and turn again to Jesus Christ, and seek His forgiveness.  Do what the following verses tell you to do!  

Revelation 2:4-5  “But this is what I have against you: you do not love me now as you did at first.  Think how far you have fallen! Turn from your sins and do what you did at first. If you don’t turn from your sins, I will come to you and take your lampstand from its place.” 

The third reason is straightforward, Matthew 24:42  “Therefore, stay awake, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming.” It is because we don’t know what day the Lord is going to come and take His Bride to heaven that we must be ready every day.

We know He is coming soon, as Paul says in 1 Thessalonians 5:4  “But you are not in darkness, brothers, for that day to surprise you like a thief.”    The world is telling us, the prophecies are telling us, nature is telling us, climate change as foretold by Jesus is literally screaming it out to the nations, and the signs of impending doom are on every hand. The world is falling apart, we are running out of food, nuclear war is just around the corner as I said in my previous article “DAY OF PENTECOST – A VERY BRIEF POSTSCRIPT”.

Revelation 13:16-17  “Also it (The New World Order) causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name.”    Do I need to elaborate on not being allowed to buy or sell?

We have just been through two and a half years of the NWO’s trial run, and it was a huge success for them. Most of the world obeyed them without question. 

Jesus has already told us roughly when it would be in His Parable of the Fig Tree in Luke 21:29-33.

In Biblical parables TREES are used to represent various nations.   The FIG tree is one of four trees used at various times throughout the Bible to describe ISRAEL.  The FIG TREE represents NATIONAL ISRAEL,  The OLIVE TREE was used to represent RELIGIOUS ISRAEL,  THE VINE represents SPIRITUAL ISRAEL, and THE BRAMBLE  was used to represent SECULAR ISRAEL.

The FIG TREE is used parabolically  to speak of the NATION of ISRAEL.

This chapter tells of what is coming upon the whole world at the end of THIS Age.

Luke 21:29-33  Then He (Jesus) spoke to them a parable: “Look at the FIG tree, and ALL the trees.”  This verse tells us that Jesus is speaking of ALL the NATIONS, but that THE FIG tree is the central player, that is NATIONAL ISRAEL. Because of this, when Israel begins to sprout leaves and bud, that is where the clock begins to tick.

30 “When they are already budding, you see and know for yourselves that summer is now near.”    Verse 30 is showing us that ALL the Nations are in the process of budding.   What does budding represent?  It represents an increase in life and in fruitfulness.  In this parable it is seen as ALL Nations beginning to seek  independence, growing strong, putting forth leaves, increasing in strength.

31  “So you also, when you see these things happening, know that the kingdom of God is near.”    It was AFTER world War Two that the COLONISED nations, and the OCCUPIED nations began “en masse” to seek independence, with Israel near the front of the pack.    It was also after world war two we began to see the speeding up of the “Climate Change”

Luke 21:32  “Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all things take place.”   Jesus is clearly referring to the time already outlined, the people who see all these things happen will not all die.   MY GENERATION saw these things begin to start happening, and MY GENERATION will not ALL die before it is all over.

33  “Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.”   Jesus is saying “You can count on My Words; they SHALL come to pass.

I will conclude this section with some comments on  –  “The Time”.  Psalm_90:10  “The days of our lives are seventy years; And if by reason of strength they are eighty years, yet their boast is only labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.”  

It began in 1949 when Israel began to grow strong as a nation.  Eighty years including seven years of “Great Tribulation” still to come will take us to 2029. We still have seven years to go, but “The Bride” will not be here, She will be in Heaven with the Bridegroom.

Jesus is coming for a BRIDE to whom HE (JESUS) means MORE than anything else in the universe. We must ask ourselves, “do I qualify for that?

As always, we cannot set any concrete dates, however in light of everything else that is happening so rapidly around the world today, I find it difficult to see the Bride still on earth  after the end of 2022.

Please share this with family and friends.

God bless.

THE TRIGGER

I want to look today at a few things that are happening around the world, and put them into context of how they line up with The Bible, what is the trigger that started these current events which we see all around the world today, and what will be the trigger that will begin the final meltdown.

What was the trigger that started the events we are witnessing today? I believe it was the astonishingly accurate words of Jesus Christ, when in Matthew chapter 24, and Luke chapter 21 and Mark chapter 13 He outlined the events which would take place around the world after Israel became a nation in their own land which He, God had given them so many centuries before.

Jesus foretold drastic and dramatic “Climate Change” would commence gradually at the time of the rebirth of Israel as a nation, He foretold that it would increase slowly at first but that toward the end of the age it would increase rapidly in both the frequency and intensity of it destruction, likening it to a woman’s pregnancy as in the birth pangs, or labour pains a woman goes through during the final days or hours, as the case may be.

The accuracy is astounding when you consider that it took the scientists nearly 20 years after Israel became a nation before they began to realise that “Climate Change” was becoming a problem for the world, and something needed to be done to slow down the “Global Warming” (at that point in time) which was beginning to have an affect world wide. But it was twenty years after that in the 1980’s before a noticeable increase began to cause panic in the scientific world, and people began to notice that earthquakes, floods, famines, plagues and diseases, UFO sightings, were becoming more severe, and more often. Today we have our “Mass Extinction” rallies around the world and daily protests that not enough is being done, but of course as Jesus said, it will all come to pass, it cannot be stopped now despite the scientists assurances that if we go hard and fast we can beat it. Incredible accuracy.

Jesus also spoke of “Wars, and rumours of wars” how true has that been of the past fifty years? There have been few days during that time when there has not been either a war, or a civil uprising against government somewhere in the world, and how many wars and rumours of wars or civil uprisings are happening today. The events in Afghanistan over the past week have astounded the world. The speed at which everything is happening today in every area of society is catching everybody of guard, governments, armed forces, doctors, reporters and the general public.

Famine is widespread today because of the massive flooding, the terrible droughts, the unbelievable wildfire spread, the plagues of crop destroying pests etc. Every “Climate Change” record known to man, including earthquakes, active volcanoes, viruses etc. is being broken daily, and then broken again the next day repeatedly until today they have become an expected daily occurrence.

The world is in total chaos today, as Jesus said in Luke 21:25 there will be “distress of nations, with perplexity” How accurate is that today, people are really distressed, perplexed, even baffled as to how all this has happened so quickly.

Another prophetic statement in the Bible which has been fulfilled with amazing accuracy is 2 Timothy 3:1  But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: In all my years I have never lived in such perilous times as we have today, and The Apostle Paul goes on in the following verses to describe in detail the state of the world today.

2Ti 3:2  “… men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!”  What an accurate assessment of the state of the world today.

Here is another one, Jesus, in describing the final church of this age, in Revelation 3:17  ” … You say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked.“ This is God’s description of the current state of Christianity, and it is so true; the Church today is RICH, and WEALTHY with the things of this world, but in the things of God it is wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked. The majority of today’s churchgoers have no need of God, because they have all they want in what the world provides.

Pew Research of the beliefs and the knowledge and understanding of scripture in the USA among the Christian Churches reveals a pathetic picture which totally confirms the words of Jesus. The conclusion that I got from one of their many reports, was that of the 28% of Christians in America who were “True Believers” it seemed from questions asked, eg. who was Methuselah, many answers showed that not too many of these 28% bothered to read their Bible very often, and I believe that most “First World” countries are no better than the USA.

The percentage of “religious fundamentalists” who accepted evolution rose from 8% in 1988 to 32% in 2019. Basically what this is saying is that 32% of “True Believers” no longer believe in God as the Creator. To me that means we have to reduce the number of “True Believers” down again by 1/3rd, as God hates it when people don’t give Him credit for the “Creation” of all things. See URL below.

https://www.israel365news.com/196281/new-study-a-majority-of-americans-now-believe-in-evolution/

A good one to finish on, 1 Thessalonians 5:4  But you, friends, are not in the darkness, and the Day should not take you by surprise like a thief.  Now lets look at Revelation 13:16  The beast forced all the people, small and great, rich and poor, slave and free, to have a mark placed on their right hands or on their foreheads. 
Revelation 13:17  No one could buy or sell without this mark, that is, the beast’s name or the number that stands for the name. 

Paul says we are NOT in the dark, that we should be taken by surprise, so lets think about current events, and compare them to events during “The Great Tribulation” as quoted in Revelation 13:16 & 17. FORCED to take a mark, or tattoo, or chip, or whatever on their right hand or foreheads, something like a COVID PASSPORT, to prove you have been vaccinated. Only the “MARK” of The Beast will be to prove your allegiance to Satan, in the form of antichrist, but like the Covid Passport it will be mandatory if you want to be able to buy or to sell ANYTHING!!!

Governments around the globe responded to Covid 19 by taking to themselves extraordinary powers over their citizens, without passing any laws through their parliaments, they just rely on their police and their armies to enforce their orders. The Globalist Governments of the world took the opportunity to begin training people to be obedient to their orders of lockdown. Stay at home, use masks, get jabbed, no church services, no large gatherings like weddings or funerals, don’t open your shop, only essential reasons for leaving your home, use QR codes every where you go for tracking purposes.

Banks are already beginning to go through a Central Banking System, where every transaction from every bank can be instantly processed, and cash transactions will not be accepted as a New Digital Currency such as BITCOIN will become the new world currency. Digital Tattoos have been copyrighted by Bill Gates No 0606062020 look at the number carefully. Other companies are mass producing Digital Chips,, and many are already being used in Europe and Canada and the USA. You are NOT in the dark, can you see Revelation 13:16 & 17 are already to roll.

Now before I get on to The Trigger, I want to discuss the Feast of Trumpets, perhaps better known to many as ROSH HASHANAH or New Years Day in Israel, which commences on Monday 6th of September at sunset in Israel this year, and conclude at sunset on Wednesday the 8th at sunset Israel time this year of 2021, as this information could possibly go the heart of what the how, what, when and why of the Trigger”

The Feast of Trumpets will be the next Feast to be fulfilled by Jesus.    It is known by many different names,  and by many descriptions, many of which can be related to the Rapture of the Church, the Bride of Jesus Christ.

Let’s look at some of these days, their names, their descriptions and their SIMILARITY to the rapture.

ROSH HASHANAH means  “The Head of the Year”,  it is NEW YEARS DAY in Israel.   It is a time of “New Beginnings.”    for the church also, as The Rapture will be a  new beginning in a new Home in a New Dimension!!!

ROSH HASHANAH is also known as,  Yom Teruah, the “Day of Blasting”   It is the first of the seven feasts to have trumpets blasting.  Many Christians believe the first trumpet blast of Rosh Hashanah is the same one as in

1 Thessalonians 4:16  and also in 1  Corinthians 15:52.  Others believe it may be the last trumpet on the last day of ROSH HASHANAH.

Another name  for  ROSH HASHANAH is Yom Hadin, “The Day of Judgement,” as on ROSH HASHANAH Jews believe that God balances a person’s  good deeds for the past year, against their bad deeds, in order  to decide their future.

Christians believe that the first thing after the Rapture will be the Judgement of our service for the Lord, and the receiving of our rewards and crowns.

ROSH HASHANAH “The day of which no one knows the day or the hour.”  Being a TWO DAY holiday which cannot be proclaimed until the “New Moon is sighted by two witnesses.      No man can know which day or at what hour that the new moon will be sighted.   Heavy cloud, or dense smoke may obscure the sky on the first day of ROSH HASHANAH, SO The Feast of Trumpets cannot be proclaimed until the second day.

The Feast of Trumpets is also known as:  ● The Day of Repentance.  ● The Head of the Year.  ● The Time of Judgment.  ● The Awakening.  ● The Coronation of Messiah.  ● The Wedding Ceremony.  ● The Hidden Day.  ● The Day of the Opening of Gates.  ● The Resurrection of the Dead.

Many of the names and meanings applied to ROSH HASHANAH also very aptly fit the Rapture of the Bride of Jesus Christ.  Others we have not considered are, The Awakening, when the Church is taken to heaven, the Jews will wake up to the fact that they have been deceived, and they have missed out again on their Day of Redemption.

The Wedding Ceremony, what a perfect fit for The Rapture.    The Coronation of Messiah, when we His people crown Him with many Crowns as we lay our crowns before Him and worship Him.   The Resurrection of the Dead.   The Rapture has always been the Day of Resurrection for the Church, and the dead will be resurrected and rise up first, then we who are alive and remain will be transformed and transported to our heavenly home.

In light of the current rapid fulfillment of so many end times prophecies, and the speed at which they continue to accelerate, I am forced to ask myself, could this ROSH HASHANAH be the one when Jesus comes into the clouds and calls all the True Believers who make up his Body, his Church and his Bride to our home in heaven?

COULD THIS BE OUR FINAL CHANCE TO GET RIGHT WITH GOD, and to begin to live a holy life as God has commanded us to.   To love him as we ought because of what he has done for us, and to appreciate the immense privilege he has  bestowed on us, at such great cost to Himself and to His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ.  

I BELIEVE THAT IT IS ABSOLUTELY POSSIBLE THAT IT MAY BE THIS YEAR.  

YES, I KNOW THAT IT COULD POSSIBLY BE NEXT YEAR, BUT DON’T BET YOUR ETERNAL FUTURE ON IT.       

I WOULD ECHO PETER IN 1 Peter 4:7  “THE END OF ALL THINGS IS AT HAND…..”

NOW TO THE TRIGGERS. The trigger that started all these events, was of course the END TIME Prophecies which had to be fulfilled because God promised they would be.

THE TRIGGER THAT WILL CAUSE THE FINAL MELTDOWN, I believe that will be the Rapture of the Church, when millions of “TRUE BELIEVERS“ suddenly vanish from the earth. The world’s Stock Exchanges will all crash in the biggest meltdown in history, Politicians will disappear leaving countries in chaos, Army personell from Generals down to Privates, Doctors and Nurses will vanish, leaving hospitals in chaos, Business owners, Employees, gone leaving shopping in chaos, and the Bible describes it like this in the Good News Bible.

Mat 24:21  For the trouble at that time will be far more terrible than any there has ever been, from the beginning of the world to this very day. Nor will there ever be anything like it again. 

YES The RAPTURE will trigger the greatest meltdown, chaos, pain, destruction, misery and fear this world can even imagine in their worst nightmare, DON’T be a part of it, get right with God NOW before it is too late, there may be very little time left. Pass this on to your friends, family and workmates while there is time. Check your standing with God in the chart below.

WE NEED TO BE IN LOVE WITH OUR LORD AND GOD.

WE NEED TO BE WATCHING AND WAITING FOR HIS RETURN.

WE NEED TO REPENT OF ALL OUR SINS AND TURN AWAY FROM ALL EVIL.

WE NEED TO ASK FORGIVENESS AND INVITE JESUS INTO OUR LIFE AS KING.

WE NEED TO BE BORN AGAIN (QUICKENED) BY GOD’S HOLY SPIRIT.

WE NEED TO BELIEVE THAT JESUS IS GOD’S ONLY BEGOTTEN SON,

WE NEED TO BELIEVE JESUS WAS BORN OF A VIRGIN.

THAT HE CAME DOWN FROM HEAVEN AND LIVED AMONG THE PEOPLE.

THAT THEY REJECTED AND KILLED HIM.

AND HE DIED FOR OUR SINS NOT FOR HIS OWN BECAUSE HE WAS WITHOUT SIN.

THAT HE ROSE FROM THE DEAD AND IS IN HEAVEN AT GOD’S RIGHT HAND.

WE NEED TO BELIEVE THAT HE IS COMING BACK TO TAKE US TO HEAVEN.

WE NEED TO LOVE OUR NEIGHBOURS AND SHARE GOD’S LOVE AND SALVATION WITH THEM.

THE MYSTERY OF JUBILEE

THE MYSTERY OF THE JUBILEE.   &   OUR  RESPONSIBILITIES.

The Law of Jubilee.      Lev 25:10  And you shall consecrate the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land to all its inhabitants.   It shall be a Jubilee for you; and each of you shall return to his possession, and each of you shall return to his own family.

So Jubilee is all about being set free, liberated from all debts, liberated from bondage, and set free to return to your father’s house and property as a completely free person.   To what will one day become YOUR inheritance.

THE MYSTERY OF LIBERTY, &  TOTAL FREEDOM FOR  ALL ISRAEL AT THE TIME OF JESUS CHRIST.

Luke 4:18&19    Jesus said  “THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS UPON ME, BECAUSE HE HAS ANOINTED ME TO PREACH THE GOSPEL TO THE POOR;  HE HAS SENT ME TO HEAL THE BROKEN HEARTED, TO PROCLAIM LIBERTY TO THE CAPTIVES AND RECOVERY OF SIGHT TO THE BLIND, TO SET AT LIBERTY THOSE WHO ARE OPPRESSED;  v19 & TO PROCLAIM THE ACCEPTABLE YEAR OF THE LORD.”

The ONLY Jewish Feast celebrated for a YEAR OR MORE is  —  The Feast of JUBILEE.

Had Israel accepted Jesus as their Messiah / King in that year, that year would have become the year of their Redemption.  ISRAEL’S  year of Jubilee.

This was the time that Israel COULD have been set free from the bondage of Rome and of every other nation on earth, but they did not recognise the TIME of their VISITATION.   GOD’s TIME

In fact, Jesus actually extended that one Year, to the whole duration of His ministry on earth, right up to His trial and crucifixion!

For 31/2 years Jubilee was being offered to Israel by Jesus.      For 31/2 years Jesus was demonstrating the fact that HE was their expected Messiah.    But Israel refused His offer, preferring to remain under the yoke of the Romans.

THE MYSTERY OF LIBERTY, & TOTAL FREEDOM FOR TRUE BELIEVERS.

Our Personal Jubilee.   John 8:36  “Therefore if the Son sets you free, you shall be free indeed”.   JESUS sets us free when we come to Him in TRUE repentance, when we turn away from sin to follow righteousness, and we ask for forgiveness & cleansing from sin.      When we invite Jesus into our life to be our Saviour, our God and our King, we are instantly adopted into God’s family, and are “Born Again” spiritually of God’s Spirit as God’s children.

WE ARE SET FREE FROM God’s wrath  (but not set free from Satan’s wrath, nor the wrath of human beings and the World Powers)           

FREE FROM the bondage of sin

FREE FROM the punishment of sin

FREE FROM the fear of dying / death / But not yet free from old age wear & tear and all the complications that go with old age.

FREE FROM all  fear, anxiety & worry

FREE FROM loneliness & grief

FREE FROM hatred and unforgiveness

FREE FROM the desires of this world

FREE FROM the lusts of the flesh

FREE FROM sickness and disease

Sometimes people question God or question His love or His power because they are not healed when they think they should have been.    The Apostle Paul never got the healing he asked God for.     Trophimus, Paul’s travelling companion had to be left behind in Miletus because he was sick.

1Pet 1:6  In this, (your salvation) you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials,
1Pet 1:7  so that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

Sometimes God tests the genuineness of our faith so we can be blessed at the Rapture, when Jesus is revealed.

THOMAS believed when he saw the nail prints in Jesus hands and the wound in His side, but Jesus said  “Blessed are those who believe WITHOUT SEEING me”

THE MYSTERY OF LIBERTY, &  TOTAL FREEDOM FOR JESUS BRIDE

1Thess 4:16&17 For the Lord Himself shall descend from Heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ shall rise first. v17  Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air. And so we shall ever be with the Lord.

1Co 15:52&53   In a moment, in the blink of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall all be changed.  v53  For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

IN THIS PHASE OF GOD’S PLAN FOR US HE SETS US COMPLETELY FREE-:

FREE FROM ALL forms of corruptibility:-

FREE FROM Mortality & Death

FREE FROM The Judgement Seat of God

FREE FROM All Sorrow and Mourning

FREE FROM Persecution & Mockery

FREE FROM All Sickness & Disease

FREE FROM Growing Old & Getting Tired

FREE FROM All Debt, Hunger, & Thirst, etc.

FREE FROM All Hatred and Unforgiveness

FREE FROM Greed & Selfishness

FREE FROM All the Limitations of The Flesh

FREE FROM Lack of Knowledge, Wisdom, Understanding etc.

FREE FROM Lack of Power & Faith

Freedom from the flesh as we transform into our new spiritual bodies, will be so wonderful that we cannot even imagine it.   Freedom from the penalty of sin, freedom to go to our Father in heaven and live in the home Jesus has prepared for us.   Freedom to receive the rewards He has for us.  JUBILEE!!!

THE MYSTERY OF THE FINAL JUBILEE FOR THE NATION OF ISRAEL, WILL BE TOTAL FREEDOM UNGODLINESS AND SIN, FINALLY THEY SHALL HAVE OWNERSHIP OVER THE WHOLE AREA OF LAND GOD PROMISED TO ABRAHAM AND HIS DESCENDANTS IN THE FIRST COVENANT.  

FOR THE SURVIVING REMNANT OF ISRAEL, JESUS SECOND COMING TO EARTH TO RULE & REIGN OVER THE WORLD WILL BE THEIR JUBILEE .

ISRAEL missed the opportunity of  being set free and of having their JUBILEE way back in Jesus day!     Because of their rejection of their Messiah 2000 years ago, Israel will now have to go through The Great Tribulation outlined in Revelation chapters 6 ff.   This period of time is also referred to as the time of “Jacob’s Trouble”  in Jeremiah 30:7.  However, there will be a remnant of the nation that will survive that time, as God has decreed all through the Old Testament.

Isa 10:20a  In that day the REMNANT left in Israel, the survivors in the house of Jacob, will no longer depend on allies who seek to destroy them.  v21   This remnant will return; yes, the survivors of Jacob will return to the Mighty God.

Isa 65:9   I will preserve a remnant of the people of Israel and of Judah to possess MY LAND.  Those I choose will inherit it, and my servants will live there.

God has to preserve some Jews and Israelies, in order to fulfill His first unconditional AND unbreakable, covenant to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

Rom 11:26&27  And so all Israel will be saved. As the Scriptures say, “The one who rescues will come from Jerusalem, and he will turn Israel away from ungodliness. v27  And this is my covenant with them, that I will take away their sins.”

IF Satan were to succeed in killing every Jew & Israeli in the world, which is his aim, Satan would have defeated God’s plan and purpose for Israel, and he would have made God a liar.   God’s promise to Israel would have been broken.

IF Satan could succeed in causing God’s first covenant (with Israel) to be broken, then it could be argued that he may also be able to succeed in causing God’s New Covenant (with TRUE Christians) to be broken also.   So you can see why a REMNANT of Israel have survived every attempt made to try to destroy them, down through the ages, many many nations have tried, but ALL have failed &  ALL will continue to fail.     BUT GOD CANNOT FAIL.

SO WHAT TRIGGERS JUBILEE?

IN EVERY INSTANCE THE TRIGGER IS  JESUS’ PRESENCE  –  HIS COMING AMONG US,  INTO US  OR  FOR US.

SO WHEN WE LIVE IN JESUS, WE LIVE IN JUBILEE  –  EVERY DAY!

John 15:4  Remain in me, and I will remain in you.  For a branch cannot produce fruit if it is severed from the vine, and you cannot be fruitful unless you REMAIN in me.    HOW DO WE REMAIN IN JESUS AND IN JUBILEE PERMANENTLY?

Jesus is the Word of God made flesh, we remain in Him by abiding in THE WORD, that is, by spending time in The Bible, The Word of God, reading and studying the Bible and obeying what it teaches us.

John 15:5  “Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, (The Word), and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing.   SO,  HOW do we produce fruit?

GOD  –  The Holy Spirit,  works in us to bear fruit.

WHAT SORT OF FRUIT?    –    SPIRITUAL FRUIT

Gal 5:22&23  tells us that the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.

Rom 8:38&39   LOVE.    NOTHING – can separate us from God’s Love.

Rom 8:1   JOY.    There is no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, not walking after the flesh, but led by the Spirit.  That brings JOY to our hearts.

Rom 8:2    PEACE  For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.   No more fear of death or judgement, PEACE.

2 Cor 5:17 Anyone who is in Christ, is a new creation…impatience becomes Patience – unkindness becomes kindness,  The unfaithful become faithful, the bad tempered become good tempered, the unclean become clean, etc etc.

What does this have to do with Jubilee?

EVERYTHING!!!   We have been SET FREE from our old ways SPECIFICALLY to bring glory TO GOD through our GOOD WORKS, because of the FRUIT of the Spirit.

Mat 5:16  Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven.

AS WE HAVE ALREADY SEEN, GOD BLESSES US HERE ON EARTH.

—   BUT  —    We are warned in  Mat  6:19  “Don’t store up treasures here on earth,”    In this Temporal world we live in, rust, moths & thieves destroy it & death will separate us from it.   Besides, when we are snatched away, to our heavenly home, we leave it all behind.

AND  —   GOD ALSO WANTS US TO BE BLESSED IN HEAVEN.  SO,

Mat  6:20  “Store up your treasures in heaven,”

In the Eternal realm, rust, moths & thieves cannot destroy, & death cannot separate you from it & when we are caught up, we go to where our treasure is waiting for us in heaven!

SO TO SUMMARISE OUR RESPONSIBILITY

The world is rapidly being polarised, the darkness is  getting darker, so, our light must burn brighter.   The darker it gets, the more clearly our light can be seen, and the further into the darkness the light will shine.

Already we see the world calling Evil Good, and Good Evil.   True Christians are being labeled as being “as dangerous as Terrorists“.    God’s Word is being called TOTALLY irrelevant to today’s society.   Sexual immorality and perversion have become the new norm, and in many places sex has become the God of society.   The dark is rapidly getting darker, so we must take up the challenge and shine brighter.

1 John 2:15  Do not love this world or its ways, nor the things it offers you, for when you love this world, you do not have the love of the Father in you.

Luke 17:21b   Tells us that “The kingdom of God is within you.”

The King resides IN His Kingdom.   The Kingdom of God is in our hearts.   Jesus is our King, and HE resides in our hearts.

WHEREVER JESUS IS  —HE BRINGS JUBILEE —BECAUSE HE IS JUBILEE

Mat 24:44  You must be ready all the time, for the Son of Man will come at a time when you least expect Him.

So don’t worry that the Jewish year of Jubilee is not for another 47 years, because when JESUS comes for HIS BRIDE, it will BE JUBILEE, because Jesus is present.

SO WHEN JESUS COMES FOR HIS BRIDE,  THAT WILL BEGIN THE JUBILEE FOR WHICH ALL TRUE BELIEVERS HAVE WAITED SO LONG!

JESUS said in Luke 21:28  Now when these things BEGIN to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.” And Luke chapter 21 was talking about CLIMATE CHANGE,  So let’s start LIVING IN JUBILEE, LOOKING UP for His return is getting very VERY close!!!

God bless.

COMING READY OR NOT!!!

All who are victorious will be clothed in white. I will never erase their names from the Book of Life, but I will announce before my Father and His angels that they are mine. Revelation 3:5

1Cor 15:52  In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 

COMING READY OR NOT!!!   —  THE KING IS COMING,  AND WHEN THE TRUMPET SOUNDS, IT’S ALL OVER TOO FAST TO CHANGE YOUR MIND.

—  SO  —  WHAT IS THE TIME?

●The Jews of JERUSALEM did not recognise that the times they were living in, were the days of their Messiah, as had been foretold by all their prophets; this caused Jesus to make the following prophetic statement to them.        Luke 19:44  They will completely destroy you (JERUSALEM) and the people within your walls; not a  single stone will they leave in its place, because you did not recognize the “The Day of God’s Visitation.”       Jesus came to save them, but they missed the timing of their salvation.

● NEVER LET IT BE SAID OF MY READERS  —  “YOU DID NOT KNOW THE TIME OF YOUR VISITATION.”   What happened to Jerusalem was CHILD’S PLAY compared to what is about to happen to   “THE WHOLE WORLD”  AFTER the TRUE CHRISTIANS have been raptured off the earth to be with Jesus in heaven.

—  SO  —  WHAT IS THE TIME?  & WHAT ARE THE SIGNS OF THE IMMINENT RAPTURE OF THE CHURCH THAT WE SHOULD BE LOOKING FOR?

●  LOOK FOR THE REBIRTH OF ISRAEL AS A NATION    Matt 24:35 “Now learn a lesson from the fig tree (Israel)  When branches bud and leaves begin to sprout, you know that summer is near.   In the same way, when you see all these things, you can know His return is very near,  right at the door.  I tell you the truth, THIS GENERATION WILL NOT PASS until ALL THESE THINGS take place.     It is important to note that  ALL THESE THINGS refers to everything in  Matt 24:1-35 and that it covers right up to the END of the Tribulation period. 

—  SO  —  WHAT IS THE TIME?    Israel is God’s timepiece, so WATCH developments taking place in Israel!!!

● It is the time of FULFILLED PROPHECY,   ISRAEL IS PARABOLIC of “The Fig Tree” & ISRAEL was born in a day  (Isaiah 66:8)  on MAY 14th 1948   70 YEARS AGO!  

● 70 – 80 YEARS = ONE GENERATION   THIS GENERATION SHALL NOT PASS AWAY  Psa 90:10a Tells us that the days of our lives are seventy years!  Some may even live to eighty.      70 is also a very important number throughout the BIBLE.

—  SO  —   WHAT IS THE TIME?  —  IT IS THE VERY END OF THIS AGE!

● SEVENTY YEARS AGO THE COUNTDOWN BEGAN WITH ISRAEL’S REBIRTH!     THIS GENERATION   Jesus said,  SHALL NOT PASS AWAY until ALL these things take place.  Matt 24:34

● THE AGE OF GRACE IS FINISHING  – THE CURTAIN IS SLOWLY BUT SURELY BEING LOWERED AS THE WORLD IS SCREAMING, IT WON’T HAPPEN, IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN,  BUT KNOW THIS   – IT IS HAPPENING RIGHT BEFORE OUR EYES.

● 2 PETER 3:9  SAYS   “THE LORD IS NOT SLACK CONCERNING HIS  PROMISE, RATHER HE IS BEING PATIENT, HE IS NOT WANTING ANYONE TO PERISH.” 

● This is the TIME OF THE END,  Dan 12:4  “But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book UNTIL THE TIME OF THE END;  many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase”.  –   AT THE TIME OF THE END –  Travel and Speed combine,  Knowledge increases exponentially: Science, Technology, Medicine etc. cannot keep up with the pace of new inventions.  

● THIS IS THE TIME WHEN PEACE AGREEMENTS ARE MADE.     1 Thess 5:3&4    For when THEY say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction comes upon THEM, as labour pains upon a pregnant woman. And THEY shall not escape.   But YOU, brethren, are not in darkness, that this day should overtake YOU as a thief.     THEY – THEM = THE WORLD  ––  YOU = THE TRUE CHRISTIANS.

●  As it was in the “days of Noah and Lot.” Luke 17:26 & 28.  A Time of great violence and rampant sexual immorality  –   so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man .  

● It will be a time of great peril, BOTH  physically and spiritually.  2Tim 3:1-4 

● It will be a time when people have a FORM of godliness but DENY God’s power  2Tim 3:5.

● It is a time when MOST churches, and MOST “Professing Christians”  will become “LUKEWARM  and be spat out.” Revelation 3:14-16

● It is the time of dividing Israel to God’s enemies.     Joel 3:1&2 

● It is a time when nations will “stumble over Jerusalem” and be destroyed. Zechariah 12:3

● It is the time when people leave God for the occult and Satan worship.  1 Tim 4:1

● It will be a time of violent CLIMATE CHANGE.  LUKE 21: 25 &  26

● It is the time when people call evil good, and good, evil   Isa 5:20  Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;   Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

ALL OF THESE THINGS HAVE ALREADY HAPPENED & AND CONTINUE TO HAPPEN.

Now I want to remind you of some things I wrote in earlier Posts, because I believe that THE TIME OF OUR VISITATION IS VERY VERY CLOSE. 

I noted in earlier posts, at the end of 2016 that the Jewish Sanhedrin had declared that the Jewish year of 5777 would have been the actual “Year of Jubilee” as proclaimed by Ezra  after ISRAEL’S return from the Babylonian exile.

I opined that the “Rapture” therefore, would most likely occur in the Jewish year of 5777 the Year of Jubilee as set by Ezra after Israel returned from the Babylonian exile.   However I did not discount the possibility that it could be next year, 5778 which would equate to the original year of Jubilee as set down by God in Leviticus.

I said,  “I am convinced in light of what has gone before, there is a 95% chance it will be the year 5777, but regardless of whether you think this year, next year or five years time, I urge you to take the safest path, and stay close to the Lord every day.”    Jesus said “Occupy till I come”  Luke 19:13  whenever that may be!

I concluded by saying,  “Finally, will it be this year? Or will it be next year? and does it really matter?   The bigger question is, if you die tomorrow in an accident, are you prepared? ”  

At the time I wrote theses articles, the Jewish Sanhedrin was divided as to whether it would be 5777 or 5778.  Ezra’s Jubilee, – or God’s original Jubilee, obviously it was not 5777, so it seems this year 5778 MIGHT be the year, we cannot be sure of course until it happens, because as I have said before, the Jews deliberately changed their calendar at least once and maybe more, to make it fit a New Messiah they were proclaiming.

When the Lord seemed to confirm  for me that He would take His people during the “Year of Jubilee”, there was no indication of which Year of Jubilee, Ezra’s or God’s, as I stated in my previous articles.    Neither did the Lord give any indication it would be during the “Feast of Trumpets”, even though these are the next two “APPOINTED LAWS”  or “Feasts” time wise for the Lord to fulfill. 

Luke 21:36  Watch therefore, and pray always that YOU may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.”   

It is time for US, as the “True Christians” to wake up and understand that ALL THESE THINGS have already been fulfilled!            Rom 13:11  And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed.  

How interesting is it that the Jews, who do not believe that Jesus was their true Messiah, are still waiting for Him to appear to save them.    Read the report in this recent article, as they seem to expect “Messiah” to appear suddenly at age 30 approx. in the same manner that Jesus did when He began His ministry!         Leading Rabbi: This Generation’s Bible Hatred, Sign the Messiah is Here      THEY can SEE all the signs have been fulfilled, THEY know the time  of His Visitation is very close.    Let us make sure therefore that WE CHRISTIANS DO NOT MISS THE DAY OF HIS VISITATION, and get left behind.

FINALLY,  as the world blames God for the terrible mess this world is in, and as the world calls  good – evil,  and they call evil –  good, it is important for us to LET OUR LIGHT SHINE IN THE DARKNESS, in the hope that they may turn to the light which is found only in Jesus Christ, for salvation, because God has said in    Isa 5:20  Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;  Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness;  Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

There will be a terrible price for them to pay, if we cannot convince them to REPENT and turn to Jesus.    Already it has been put forward by some “NEW AGE” followers and other progressive thinkers, that God will take all the weak, non progressive, backward thinking haters OFF this planet and destroy them, (Referring to us at the “RAPTURE” of course) and that He will leave the progressive thinkers, who know how to LOVE and move forward behind to create a better place?

Again, I urge you to take the safest path, and stay close to the Lord every day,  and remember that  Jesus said we are to “Occupy till He comes”  Luke 19:13  And that means we are to SERVE HIM till He comes, whenever that may be.

God Bless you all,

ISRAEL

ISRAEL  — GOD’S CHOSEN PEOPLE.

The whole of the Bible is centred around ISRAEL.    It is HIStory, — God’s record of His chosen people, past, present and future.   The Bible is the history of the nation whom God called  “The apple of my eye”.   Zec 2:8 For this is what the LORD of the Heavenly Armies says:    “In pursuit of glory I was sent to the nations who plundered you, because “whoever injures you,  injures the pupil of my eye.”  (ISV).   

Nations of the world today should be very very careful of how they treat Israel, because world history shows that when a nation blesses Israel and treats them well, they in turn are very blessed and prosper exceedingly.    The latest nation to be blessed because of their stand for Israel was the USA, until they decided that they needed ARAB OIL more than they needed Israel.    To gain Arab Oil, meant they had to side with the Arab nations and the Palestinians against Israel, and call for the division of Israel, by giving back Judea, Samaria and the West Bank to the Palestinians.    This decision was a very bad choice, as from that time on America began its steady decline into debt and into the constant fear of terrorism, both of which were unheard of in America until then. 

The nation prior to the USA to bless Israel was the UK who brought forth the BALFOUR DECLARATION, which gave Israel back their own land again in 1917, and it was said later the sun never set on the British Empire, as wherever it was daytime the sun was over a British Colony somewhere in the world.    However, that ended when Britain refused entry to the Jewish people from EUROPE during World War Two, and sent thousands of Jews back to Germany, where they became victims of the holocaust, another very bad choice, and for that God removed His blessing from the UK, and it declined to the mediocre power it is today, lagging behind many other countries in the world.

God promised that this would happen right back at the very beginning in Genesis chapter 12  where he promised Abram, later to be called Abraham, Gen 12:2   “I’ll make a great nation of your descendants, I’ll bless you, and I’ll make your reputation great, so that you will be a blessing.”  Gen 12:3  “I’ll bless those who bless you, but I’ll curse the one who curses you, and through you all the people of the earth will be blessed.”  (ISV).     God, being the faithful God He is, has honoured that promise down through the ages, and is still honouring that promise today, despite Israel’s unfaithfulness to God for so much of the time.   

God’s word is truth, you cannot escape from it, God told Israel He would punish them if they turned away from Him and worshipped false god’s, and He has been faithful to His word  all the way through.    All who worship God are blessed, those who worship false gods are being, or will be, punished.

Bad choices, choices made against God and against His Word the Bible, always result in bad outcomes.    Let us look at some prophecies concerning the “last days” or the “end times”.   These prophecies are currently in progress.

Zech 1:18 & 19  Then I looked up and saw four horns.    I asked the angel who was talking to me, “What are those?” So he answered me, “Those are the forces that have dispersed Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.”  (ISV)   (Horns in scripture nearly always refer to Empires, or World Powers.  See also Daniel 7:24  &  Rev 17:7    —-   The four horns spoken of here are the four known today as “The Quartet”  —  the United States, – the EU,  –  Russia and the United Nations.   These four powers or “four horns” are working together to create a “Peace Plan” which will divide God’s land, – ISRAEL, and give half of it to the Palestinians.     Let me say here that ALL the nations who work together and vote together with the four horns, to take God’s land away from Israel and give it to God’s enemies will be judged by God for doing that.   See  Joel 3: 1 & 2.

 Joel 3: 1 & 2  “Look, now! In those very days and at that time, when I restore prosperity to Judah and Jerusalem, I will gather all nations, bringing them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat. I will set out my case against them there,  (I will judge them) on behalf of my people, my heritage Israel, whom they scattered among the nations, apportioning my land among themselves.  (ISV).

ISRAEL’S ENEMIES.     I believe that Israel’s enemies, are of necessity also enemies of God, or God’s enemies, because of God’s covenants with Israel.    It is not my intention here to go through naming nations, as we are only dealing with God’s Land – Israel, and the surrounding nations which are mentioned in the Bible.    It is very interesting to note, but also logical, that Israel’s enemies today, are the very same enemies Israel battled in the Bible.     It is also very interesting to note that those enemies of yesteryear, have all become Islamic nations, and without exception, all swear to exterminate the Israelis from the face of the earth.     Also of note those same nations are also virulently anti Christian, and have vowed to cleanse the earth of all Christians as well as all “Jews”.  (Read Israelis).   

Jer 46:10 That day belongs to the LORD of the Heavenly Armies. It is a day of vengeance to take vengeance on his foes. The sword will devour and be satisfied, and will drink its fill of their blood. For the Lord GOD of the Heavenly Armies will hold a sacrifice in the land of the north, by the Euphrates river.  (ISV)   We were created in the likeness and image of God.   Are you capable of hate?  so is God.   Are you capable of jealousy?  so is God.   Are you capable of vengeance?  so is God.    The difference is that God’s hate, jealousy, vengeance etc.etc. are just and holy, whereas ours are driven by passion and often go beyond being just.    That is why the Lord tells us in Rom 12:19 Do not take revenge, dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath. For it is written, “Vengeance belongs to me. I will pay them back, declares the Lord.” 

Eze 30:3 “For comes now the day—comes now the Day of the LORD, the day of clouds! The time of the gentiles is fulfilled!   Compare with      Rom_11:25  For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.   (ISV)    Ezekiel prophesies here that the Day of the Lord will come when the Gentiles is finished.

ISRAEL  —  GOD’S CLOCK.  

I think we need to understand these passages clearly so we have no misconceptions as to what the Lord is telling us here.   What the Lord is saying here is that when the day of the Lord comes, at that time the Gentiles domination of the world will cease.    The Day of the Lord is a time of Judgement upon the unsaved peoples of the world.    During this time, the Lord is trying desperately to bring sinners to salvation, knowing the end is near.   

The success of this time of judgement is seen in Rev 7:9 where we are told that “After these things ( i.e. After the first six seals of God’s wrath have been executed) I looked, and there was a crowd so large that no one was able to count it! They were from every nation, tribe, people, and language. They were standing in front of the throne and the lamb and were wearing white robes, with palm branches in their hands.”   In verse 14 we are told where this great crowd of people have come from, when the Elder tells John, “So he said to me, “These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

These are the people who have seen that God is serious about cleansing the earth of sin and all manner of evil and wickedness, and they have been prepared to become martyrs in order to gain salvation and eternal life, by putting their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.    The rest of the world continue in their unbelief, in their evil and wicked ways, cursing God for what is happening, but not prepared to give up their evil and wicked practices.

I believe that the times of the Gentiles is perilously close to coming to an end, as more and more pressure is brought against God’s chosen people Israel to give up some of  God’s land to God’s enemies, and when they force Israel to accede to their peace plan, then God will say “Finish” and the times of the Gentiles will be over, and God’s judgement will commence.  

President Trump and his team of peacemakers are believed to be on the cusp of making an announcement right now.    It is believed that both sides will have to give up some of their demands, but that both sides will also gain previously unattainable concessions from the other side.    If this is correct, and a date is set for the signing of a peace treaty between Israel and the Palestinians and the Arabs etc. then look for 1Thess 5:3  For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labour pains upon a pregnant woman; and they shall not escape. 

As the whole world cries out for peace and safety at any price, keep your eyes on Israel, Israel is God’s clock, and they will be the ones who have to pay the main price in this “peace at any price” deal with the Palestinians, and while watching Israel, don’t forget to keep your eyes on the Lord as HE brings to pass HIS word.

UN IS LAYING THE FOUNDATIONS FOR THE BATTLE OF ARMAGEDDON

With their eyes fixed firmly on the dividing up of Israel to God’s enemies, the UN is laying the foundations for the coming battle of Armageddon and for the global destruction that will ensue.   As I mentioned at the end of my last post, the UN blames Israel for every problem in the world, even when the Hamas and PA terrorists beat up their wives, the UN says it is Israel’s fault.     See  :-  http://www.unwatch.org/un-expert-palestinian-men-beat-wives-israels-fault/

There is a reason for this as I pointed out in my previous post.    The UN is a conglomeration of leaders from all the world’s countries, approximately 10 % of whom I would say worship either themselves, materialism, or power, or all three.   The remaining approximately 90 % worship idols, false gods, ancestral spirits of the dead, creatures which God created, demonic powers, or Satan himself.  Only a very few worship the only True God and His Son Jesus Christ, The Messiah.

Let us be very clear here, there can be NO DOUBT that the UN is a tool in the hands of Satan to destroy the world and its people.   We must understand, that  whoever and whatever God loves, – Satan hates with a passion, and the UN,  under Satan’s influence are bent on fulfilling all the prophesies which God gave about the end of this age of grace, many of them without even knowing what they are doing.

Most prophecies concerning the end times are about God’s enemies TRYING to destroy Israel.    This is exactly what the UN is trying to do.  The Bible says of the end times in Joel 3:1&2   “For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring back the captives of Judah and Jerusalem, I will gather the armies of the world into the valley of Jehoshaphat.  There I will judge them for harming My people, My SPECIAL possession, and for scattering My people among the nations, and for DIVIDING up MY land.”  (NLT)   Note that the nation of Israel is God’s special possession.   (See below re God’s adopted children also.)

By trying to bring peace to the Middle East, the UN are going against God and against His Word.   Israel will fight against it, but the Bible tell us that the nations will divide Israel to God’s enemies.   The world will come very close to succeeding, but by giving Israel to God’s enemies, the Bible tells us that will only trigger off more wars against Israel, culminating in the most famously predicted battle of all time, the “Battle of Armageddon” where God will destroy Israel’s enemies, as the Bible foretells.

The first reason Satan is using the UN to try and destroy Israel, is because he knows that Israel is God’s chosen nation, the people through whom God brought salvation to the whole world.   Satan knows that God loves Israel, so He wants to destroy them.   That brings us to the fact that Satan also hates all “True Christians” with a passion, because God loves them with a passion, they are His Children, purchased with the blood of His only Son, Jesus.   Note that Christians are God’s adopted children.    Note the difference between Israel and the Church, the body of Christ, and his Bride to be.  (See above.)

Believe me, the UN is as anti Christian as it is anti Jewish, and the laws they have already passed and are currently preparing against both Jews and “True Christians” are designed to wipe them both off the face of the earth should either of them resist obeying these laws.    We can already see the results of this in the USA where True Christians are resisting the perverted laws of the Obama Administration, and ending up in prison.    The UN punishment will eventually introduce beheading for those who resist Satan unto death.  See  Rev 7:9-17.

Another reason the UN want Israel wiped out is because they really believe, that with Israel gone, the Moslems will settle down and stop all terrorism right around the world.     This is about as naive as you can get.   The UN have obviously not bothered to listen to the Islamic war cry.    I read this in a book about Islam written by an Israeli, V.M. who had done extensive research into the subject and knew many Islamists personally.    Their motto is  ” First we kill all the Jews on Saturday, next we kill all the Christians on Sunday, on Monday, Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday we kill every other non Moslem in the world”  The world will then have only one religion, Islam, and Sharia Law will be world wide.

V.M. goes on in his book to add, that on Friday the Moslems must kill all the other Moslems in the world who do not belong to their particular sect, because Mohammed told them that only one branch of Islam is the true religion, and all others are Infidels and must be killed.    This is the reason why Islam has been at war with itself down through the ages, and why today in every Islamic country around the world, this inter faith war continues unabated today.    Moslems accuse the Western Nations of killing them, but the true figures show that Moslems have killed a hundred times more Moslems than all the Western Nations put together have ever killed.

Back to the UN, the following articles are a must read if you doubt that the Battle of Armageddon is still a long way off.

http://www.charismanews.com/opinion/62071-circle-january-15-70-nations-will-gather-in-paris-to-discuss-the-creation-of-a-palestinian-state

70 countries who are members of the UN are currently working on a resolution to divide Israel.  –  God’s land, and hand it to God’s enemies, the Middle East terrorists, as I noted in my previous post.   The UN knows that they only have days left to get this done before Obama leaves the Presidency, and after that they know Trump will never allow it to pass.    Now the UN will say that this has to be done for the sake of peace, and that they will only do this if Israel is protected and acknowledged as a Jewish state.   The UN KNOWS that this is impossible. 

I believe that this will be Obama’s farewell parting shot at Israel, December’s resolution against building in occupied territories was just a warm up for what is coming.    I believe that January will be when Obama and his administration drop the bomb on Israel, by voting with the UN to divide up the land of Israel.

Let us look at some statistics.   Below I have statistics on the size of Los Angeles, and the size of the State of Israel.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the Los Angeles Metropolitan Area has a total area of 4,850 square miles. 

Geography of Israel – Wikipedia 

Israel’s pre 1967 war area is approximately 8,019 square miles which includes 172 sq miles of inland water. Israel stretches 263 miles from north to south, and its width ranges from 71 miles, at its widest point down to 9.3 miles at its narrowest point.

But it is even worse than that  –  read this   Negev – Wikipedia

The Negev desert covers over 4,700 sq miles, that is more than half of Israel,  55% of the country’s land area. That means the usable land area of Israel is only 3319 square wiles in area.     That means Israel has an area just over two thirds the size of Los Angeles Metropolitan area.

If we add the disputed territories, and include the West Bank, 2,270 sq miles,  plus the Golan Heights 444 sq miles, and East Jerusalem, 27 sq miles, that gives Israel an extra 2741 miles for a total of 6060 square miles .    This additional area gives Israel much more defensible boundaries.

Do you believe that a tiny country like Israel could hold out against countries whose surrounding enemy populations are 60 times greater, and with hundreds of times more land area than Israel.      If Israel were to start getting beaten, the only position they could fall back to, would be into the Mediterranean  sea.    This is exactly what Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas and the PA say they intend to do.

Now you know why the UN KNOWS that it is lying when it talks about safety for the state of Israel.    Every time Israel’s neighbours have gone to war against Israel, all the UN Peacekeepers protecting Israel have either run like scared rabbits, or else the UN has ordered them to leave.    Great protection that is!

In the 1973 Yom Kippur war, US President Richard Nixon was refusing to send military aid to Israel when Israel was clearly losing the war for lack of military hardware.    It was not until Prime Minister Golda Meir of Israel told President Nixon to train their spy satellites on the mountains of Israel before making a final decision, that the US saw that Israel had a number of Nuclear weapons set up, ready to begin a nuclear war, that President Nixon changed his mind in a hurry, and Israel got what they needed.

Israel cannot defend itself unaided without its nuclear weapons, and if those weapons were taken away from Israel they would not survive for a week.

If you want proof we are at the end of this age, read the articles below.

http://www.prophecynewswatch.com/article.cfm?recent_news_id=916   The End of Cash is coming rapidly.   You may have heard that India and Venezuela have withdrawn all large denomination Cash Bills.   Did you know that Westpac, and probably the other Australian Banks have also begun withdrawing all $100-00 notes in Australia, and did you know that many other countries around the world are doing the same thing, all in the name of fighting terrorism or crime?    Westpac admitted that Australia would be a cashless society by 2022.    https://www.westpac.com.au/about-westpac/media/media-releases/2015/21-september/   

Here are a few other sites which confirm Australia is going cashless very quickly, as are most countries in the world.    How nice for the Antichrist.

I believe that the Rapture is just around the corner, and when it happens, the whole world will have to become cashless very, very quickly.     Can you imagine all the raptured Christians’ cash being stolen by crooks and terrorists and being used to fund their evil deeds.  I think cash if not already dead, will die the day after the rapture occurs.

The above articles are only a fraction of the daily news items which reveal to those who are watching and waiting just what is going on in the US and in the UN today.     The more I see what is happening in the world of politics, and in the realm of nature, and in the realm of science, all of which are lining up exactly with end times prophecies, the more I am convinced that the rapture will happen some time between now and the end of this year of Jubilee.

God Bless you, and keep looking up.
