Another Piece of The End Time Puzzle Falls In Place

Our God is beyond amazing.  Thousands of years ago the Spirit of our Lord wrote this:

Ezekiel 38:10Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought: 11And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates, 12To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land. 13Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?

What kind of spoil would these nations be coming against Israel to take?  Now we have proof, and note when it was discovered..

“Preliminary evidence from the exploratory wells drilled by its Afek subsidiary in Northern Israel confirms the existence of significant quantities of oil and gas within its exploratory license area,” Genie said in a statement, but added that it does not yet have sufficient evidence to determine whether this or any part of the resource can be “technically or economically produced.”

The public announcement of Genie was October 11th.

^^ days after the last blood moon of the tetrad, and days after the Jubilee year began this ^^ was discovered.  Massive quantities of oil and gas in Israel.

What has made the Arab countries powerful enough to buy the latest weapon systems the world has to offer by the thousands?  Oil and gas money.  What gives the Arab world leverage to influence the rest of the world?  Oil and gas money.  Now what has happened?  A turning point, now Israel will have oil and gas money to exert its influence in the world.  Still confused?  Somehow, Israel has to go from this:

to this:

11And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,

We are just 3 months into the Jubilee year.  I can only imagine whats going to happen when war season (spring-summer) rolls around.  The events that have already taken place during the first short 3 months of this Jubilee year are game changing/tipping point/turning point events in world history.  The state sponsored Islamic invasion of Europe combined with the armies of the world converging on Syria combined with a major gas and oil find in Israel are all significant game changers for the days that lie ahead.

Our God told us what would happen thousands of years in advance.  We are watching it all happen now.  The revived Babylonian empire (not a revived Roman empire) is being formed as you read this.  The Bible says nothing of "Fallen Fallen is Rome the great," no it does not say that.  What does it say?

Rev 18:2 With a mighty voice he shouted: "'Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great!' She has become a dwelling for demons and a haunt for every impure spirit, a haunt for every unclean bird, a haunt for every unclean and detestable animal

What does the Lord tell us to expect?

19Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass; which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet; 20And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows. 21I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them; 22Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.

And what is the name of this fourth beast?

Rev 18:2 With a mighty voice he shouted: "'Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great!' She has become a dwelling for demons and a haunt for every impure spirit, a haunt for every unclean bird, a haunt for every unclean and detestable animal

This revived Babylonian empire will be different from what this world has seen before.  What makes all this so amazing is how the Lord ties together the past with the present and future.  In the past couple years the Lord brought back to our attention (through brother Cahn) the Shemitah and Jubilee cycle.  So?  So, the tribulation period is a "seven" and the Shemitah cycle is a "seven."  And?  And, where was it that Israel was exiled to when they ignored the Shemitah cycles and Jubilees in the past?  You got it, Babylon.

Jer 25:8Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Because ye have not heard my words, 9Behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, saith the LORD, and Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants thereof, and against all these nations round about, and will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and an hissing, and perpetual desolations. 10Moreover I will take from them the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones, and the light of the candle. 11And this whole land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years.

It was Babylon that was used to punish Israel and it will be Babylon again that will be sent to punish Israel.  After Babylon was used to punish Israel what did the Lord do to it?  He destroyed it.  This time, Babylon will punish Israel again and what will the Lord do to it, again?  Destroy it.

The first destruction:

Jer 25:12And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are accomplished, that I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, saith the LORD, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans, and will make it perpetual desolations. 13And I will bring upon that land all my words which I have pronounced against it, even all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah hath prophesied against all the nations. 14For many nations and great kings shall serve themselves of them also: and I will recompense them according to their deeds, and according to the works of their own hands.

The second destruction:

Rev 18:9And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, 10Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.

We are seeing Babylon reborn.  Men have built tall buildings and towers in the past to glorify themselves and the Lord has taken them down (Harbinger, Jonathan Cahn, 9/11).  Mankind is now building again but not in America.  Where is the new tallest building in the world being built?  You guessed it, in the heart of Babylon, Iraq.

Why is Europe being overrun with Islamic armies (95% young Islamic men vs. 5% women and children)?  Because Babylon is being reborn albeit in a different form this time:

19Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass; which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet;

Glory to our God and our Lord Jesus Christ.  He told us this would happen, He warned us in advance.  It is this generation, not our childrens generation or our grandchildren but our generation that will see all of these things fulfilled.  This Jubilee year has shown us just how quickly the end time transformation can take place.  The Islamic invasion of Europe and the Russian invasion of Syria took place over a matter of weeks, not months or years. 

Hold onto your hats, this is going to be quite a ride.

Coming World Events

So whats next?  As we see the world being transformed around us, what should we expect to happen in the days ahead?  We have emphasized how world events are leading to Luke 21:

20And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. 21Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.

But this ^^is not first, other things have to happen before this happens.  What has the Lord God told us?  This:

Ezekiel 38:10Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought: 11And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates, 12To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land. 13Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?

and This:

Daniel 9:27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.


So...where does this leave us?  This leaves us needing a radical transformation in the middle east.  To go from Israel today

to this:

I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates

will require a radical transformation.  Historically speaking, which tool do nations have a their disposal that achieves the most radical transformation in the least amount of time?  War.  Like for instance the Six Day War of 1967 which also was a Jubilee year....Lots of change takes place in a little time.

This year we are in a Jubilee year, and not so coincidentally we also have war ramping up in the middle east. What happens in Jubilee years?  Israel gets stuff back, like land and property

Leviticus 25:8And thou shalt number seven sabbaths of years unto thee, seven times seven years; and the space of the seven sabbaths of years shall be unto thee forty and nine years. 9Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubile to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land. 10And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubile unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family

How does this happen ^^?  How and when are our Lord's domain.  He told us exactly what would happen.  He also framed the "what" with a seven year period of time.  Do we know when that seven starts?  No, but our God did go out of His way to advertise to us previous "sevens" which lead to future sevens both through the Shemitah cycle and Joseph's cows:

Genesis 41:1When two full years had passed, Pharaoh had a dream: He was standing by the Nile, 2when out of the river there came up seven cows, sleek and fat, and they grazed among the reeds. 3After them, seven other cows, ugly and gaunt, came up out of the Nile and stood beside those on the riverbank. 4And the cows that were ugly and gaunt ate up the seven sleek, fat cows. Then Pharaoh woke up.

So, we are in a Jubilee year now that ends with the beginning of another "seven" cycle of years.  Does anything (like Daniels final 7 years) have to happen this next seven years?  No.  Is it reasonable to expect something might happen?  Yes.  What could lead us to expect something might happen?  How about signs in the sun moon and stars (lunar tetrad on feast days, solar eclipses, increased comet activity, meteorite activity), or how about the Shemitah cycle that has been punctuated with trillions of dollars worth of lost market capitalization each 7th year?  Or how about the nations of the world converging their armies in the middle east while at the same time western governments are allowing a wholesale unopposed, (actually encouraged) Islamic invasion of western countries?

The western government sanctioned/encouraged Islamic invasion probably stands out as one of the most amazing historic events I have seen in my lifetime.  The fall of the berlin wall and end of the soviet union does not hold a candle to the orchestrated demolition of western democracies through Islamic invasion (uh, I mean 'immigration).  If anyone in the west speaks up against it they are branded a 'racist' so let us remain silent and allow the Islamic invaders to speak for themselves. 

What are they saying?  They want the end of western democracy and the implementation of Sharia law.  Simple enough yes?

What does this have to do with coming events?  While the middle east is transformed to set the stage for this:

1.  He will confirm a covenant with many for one ‘seven'

and

2.  In the middle of the ‘seven’ⁱ he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And at the temple^j he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him.^k ”^l

The rest of the world is being transformed simultaneously into this:

Daniel 2:39“After you, another kingdom will arise, inferior to yours. Next, a third kingdom, one of bronze, will rule over the whole earth. 40Finally, there will be a fourth kingdom, strong as iron—for iron breaks and smashes everything—and as iron breaks things to pieces, so it will crush and break all the others. 41Just as you saw that the feet and toes were partly of baked clay and partly of iron, so this will be a divided kingdom; yet it will have some of the strength of iron in it, even as you saw iron mixed with clay. 42As the toes were partly iron and partly clay, so this kingdom will be partly strong and partly brittle. 43And just as you saw the iron mixed with baked clay, so the people will be a mixture and will not remain united, any more than iron mixes with clay.

Daniel 7:23“He gave me this explanation: ‘The fourth beast is a fourth kingdom that will appear on earth. It will be different from all the other kingdoms and will devour the whole earth, trampling it down and crushing it. 24The ten horns are ten kings who will come from this kingdom. After them another king will arise, different from the earlier ones; he will subdue three kings. 25He will speak against the Most High and oppress his holy people and try to change the set times and the laws. The holy people will be delivered into his hands for a time, times and half a time.^b

So again, we do not have to guess what will happen we know what will happen.  Thanks be to our God who told us thousands of years in advance.  So now we watch in fascination as our Lord's arm works out His plan on this earth to bring an end to this world's kingdoms and setup His own Kingdom:

Daniel 7:26“ ‘But the court will sit, and his power will be taken away and completely destroyed forever. 27Then the sovereignty, power and greatness of all the kingdoms under heaven will be handed over to the holy people of the Most High. His kingdom will be an everlasting kingdom, and all rulers will worship and obey him.’

^^Glory to God^^

In the meantime, what do we do?  The same thing the Lord has told us from the beginning, walk with our God in love, faith and absolute obedience.  That's it.  Where specific instructions and guidance is needed for our individual needs and circumstances the Lord will provide that directly to you through your relationship with Him.  Not your 'pastor's' relationship, not your priests relationship your relationship with Him is the conduit through which all your needs will be provided for.

Grace and peace be multiplied to you from God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ.

What Could Possibly Go Wrong With This?

Saudi Arabia forms coalition of 34 Islamic countries to fight terrorism

What could possibly go wrong with adding an additional 34 nations worth of Islamic military hardware to the mix right outside Israel's border?  Because Russia, Iran, China, Germany, France, England, the United States and Turkey were not enough to "fight terror."

Luke 21:20And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. 21Then let them which are in Judae flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto. 22For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.

A God of Perfect Timing

Israel was re-established as a nation on May 14, 1948.

According to the Lord's measuring stick 70 years is an important measurement.  Some say 70 is a lifespan some say its a generation but neither is the point of this statement, 70 is important:

Psalm 91:7We are consumed by your anger

and terrified by your indignation.

8You have set our iniquities before you,

our secret sins in the light of your presence.

9All our days pass away under your wrath;

we finish our years with a moan.

10Our days may come to seventy years,

or eighty, if our strength endures;

What is May 14, 1948 plus 70 years?  It is May 14, 2018.  This date also happens to be after the current Jubilee year into the next "7" Shemitah cycle.  So what?  So, that date is not so far away and when we view that date in the context of current world events we see, its just time.  Time for what?  Time for everything that has been written to be fulfilled.  Its time for the fourth beast of Daniel, it is the time of end time Babylon of Revelation 18, it is the time of seals, trumpets and bowls.  It is time.

Most of this world is sleepwalking into all of it, who would have guessed?  They suppose its just another turn in world events.  The miss the fact that this is the turn in world events not 'a' turn.  We have the evidence all around us, Islam (the fourth beast kingdom) is taking over the world.  I just saw an article today proclaiming some judge in the United States just took her oath on the Quran with a hijab on.  Why has this happened?  Why has this been allowed to happen?  Its just time.

Who would have guessed the western governments allow wholesale Islamic invasion to take place in their countries?  Who would have guessed we would have muslim judges in the United States taking their oath on the Quran instead of the Bible?  Regardless of who guessed it, it is here.  The ironic part in all this is all those who promoted "tolerance" to allow the wholesale overthrow of western civilization, they themselves will have the most intolerant of boots on their necks in the days to come.  They will hear "convert or die."  The ironic part is these people will be forced to worship one way or another.  They will either worship the god of islam by force, or they will worship the God of Heaven by choice, either way they will worship.

So what?  So the God of perfect timing told us thousands of years in advance what would happen so we would understand the days we are living in.  In these remaining days it appears to this writer the only clear choice is to do exactly precisely what our God has told us to do from the beginning.  Give thanks, praise, worship, turn away from sin and do the will of our Father who is in heaven.

Matt 12:46While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him. 47Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee. 48But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren? 49And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! 50For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.

John 14:15“If you love me, keep my commands. 16And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever— 17the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be^c in you.

We do not know when our Lord will return for us so we must be doing what a faithful servant would do in their Master's absence

Matt 25:14For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods. 15And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey. 16Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents. 17And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two. 18But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money.

19After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them. 20And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more. 21His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

We do not have to predict the future, that has already been done for us by our Lord.  What we have to do is exactly what He told us to do and do it now.  Why?  This world has run out of time.

Daesh-ISIS-The Fourth Beast

Our God truly is amazing.  He has shown us everything..

Unfortunately it appears that ISIS is not a passing fad that is going away anytime soon.  Why has Merkel thrown open the doors of Europe for an Islamic invasion.  Why are the United States and Israel supporting ISIS (years of so called war on ISIS produced a stronger ISIS?  Yes, until Russia showed up in Syria and showed the world what a real war on ISIS looks like.)

 How do we know ISIS and this Islamic surge in the world is not a passing fad?  What do many people including secretary of state John Kerry call ISIS?  Daesh...Why do they call ISIS Daesh?  What exactly does Daesh mean?

According to this article and some others I have seen there are at least two meanings:1

1.  its an acronym:  "D.A.E.SH is a transliteration of the Arabic acronym formed of the same words that make up I.S.I.S in English: 'Islamic State in Iraq and Syria', or 'al-dowla al-islaamiyya fii-il-i'raaq wa-ash-shaam'."

 and more importantly from this article:

2.  Depending on how it is conjugated in Arabic, the word can mean "to trample down and crush."

 To trample down and crush?  How interesting....what did the Lord our God tell us a couple thousand years ago about the fourth beast?

Daniel 7:19Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass; which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet; 20And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows. 21I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them; 22Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.

23Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces. 24And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings. 25And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. 26But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end. 27And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.

 A Bible in one hand (with the Spirit of the Lord guiding us) and the daily news in the other hand is about all we need to see that exactly what our God said would happen is happening.  The formation of the fourth beast kingdom is taking place before our eyes.  Ask a better question, get a better answer.  Why is Islam being glorified throughout the world today?  Why are the leaders of the western world allowing Islam to overrun and trample down their countries?  Why does the west say it is fighting ISIS but continue to support ISIS covertly?  Why?  Because a couple thousands years ago our God looked into the future and told us there was to be a fourth beast kingdom which will devour, trample down and break in pieces:

Jer 51:20Thou art my battle axe and weapons of war: for with thee will I break in pieces the nations, and with thee will I destroy kingdoms;

21And with thee will I break in pieces the horse and his rider; and with thee will I break in pieces the chariot and his rider;

22With thee also will I break in pieces man and woman; and with thee will I break in pieces old and young; and with thee will I break in pieces the young man and the maid;

23I will also break in pieces with thee the shepherd and his flock; and with thee will I break in pieces the husbandman and his yoke of oxen; and with thee will I break in pieces captains and rulers.

24And I will render unto Babylon and to all the inhabitants of Chaldea all their evil that they have done in Zion in your sight, saith the LORD.

25Behold, I am against thee, O destroying mountain, saith the LORD, which destroyest all the earth: and I will stretch out mine hand upon thee, and roll thee down from the rocks, and will make thee a burnt mountain.

26And they shall not take of thee a stone for a corner, nor a stone for foundations; but thou shalt be desolate for ever, saith the LORD.

ISIS is Daesh, and ISIS is the Islamic State.  What is being used like a battle axe to destroy kingdoms and break in pieces the nations?  The Islamic State:  Daesh which literally means "to trample down and crush."

 Do not take my word for any of this, what did the Lord say would happen and what is happening?

The Fourth Beast and Demon Kings

What does Daniel tell us about what is to come?

Daniel 2

40And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things: and as iron that breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise. 41And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay. 42And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken. 43And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.

44And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever. 45Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure.

Daniel 7:7After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns. 8I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.

We are told of ten toes, ten horns, ten coming kings here ^^.  These kings it can be argued are demon kings.  People seem to easily believe the spirit of the anti-Christ can inhabit a human form and walk the earth but they have trouble believing other demons/devils/fallen angels can do the same?  What does the Word say?

43And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.

"They" ^^ here points to the spiritual nature of these kings/horns/toes as does our Lord's further clarification:  they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.  If it was mankind with mankind they would cleave to one another as they are the same substance (clay) but they will not cleave to one another because they are not the same substance/essence/form etc, just as iron does not mix with clay.

What else does the Lord tell us?

44. And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.

When people see these kings in power they will know it is right around the time our Lord will set up His kingdom.

So?  So, I submit to you that this is a Jubilee year and in this year our Lord is taking care of alot of business.  Not only is the middle east being transformed into end time Babylon, but the stage is being set for the arrival of the ten toes/ten horns/ten kings.  How so?  The wave of popular dissatisfaction with career robber baron politicians has come to a close.  This is not a United States phenomena, it is a global phenomena.  Across the world people are shouting "out with these bums" and thus we see the rise of people like Donald Trump who as recently as 4 years ago had zero chance of being elected president.  How things have changed...

The wave of change sweeping across the world to bring in people like Trump is exactly the kind of wave that brought to power people like Adolf Hitler (type of anti-Christ).  It takes very specific circumstances (like economic depression/recession/hardship) accompanied with other things to bring to power someone like Hitler who just like Trump stood no chance just a few years before he came to power.  The point?  The point is, this wave of change we can call an anti-Christ wave.  This anti-Christ wave is here now and peaking at just the right time to being to power both the ten horns of Daniel as well as the little horn (anti-Christ).

So what we are seeing is essentially the forward leading edge of the wave that will bring to power the ten horns on the final fourth beast which also means our Lord's kingdom is not far behind:


44. And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.

Keep in mind the signs the Lord has given us:  a lunar tetrad on His feast days, the Shemitah cycle, the Jubilee cycle, and the renewed presence of Israel on the map with the Jews in control of Jerusalem.  What makes this time different?  All of this ^^ makes this time different.  And lets not forget the pair of cows the Lord sent us with 7's clearly painted on their heads (nearly to the day of the Shemitah) by our Lord's hand:

None of this has even a tangential relationship to the stupidity and irrelevance of 'pop culture,' no these signs are from the Lord our God alone. 

This world is in a massive upheaval, did you notice?  Did you notice the rate of change has picked up since this Jubilee year began just 3 months ago.  We are just 3 months into this, 9 months to go!  The Lord gave us His Word for a reason, so we would understand what is happening.  So we would understand the day and age we live in.  None of this was happenstance, none of this was coincidence.  What does it take for every westernized government in this world to agree in one accord to give up their power by allowing a massive Islamic invasion?  It takes a miracle.  Why?  The one and only thing people in power want is more power, period.  This move to bring in waves of immigrants, how is that sitting with the people?

Germany Anti-Immigrant Protest Grows

More

More

And the list goes on to every country including Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Australia, Spain, Greece etc etc.

 One does not have to be a prophet to see what is happening.  If you have your Bible in one hand and a newspaper in the other, it becomes clear as day.  Our Lord told us these things would happen and they are happening.  Tell the average German living in a town of 102 people that their world has not turned upside down when 750 Islamic refugees are dumped on them.  Tell them everything is not changing and 'dont be alarmed' that the entire way of life they have known from birth is being ripped away before their eyes.

The fact is, Daniel 2 is coming, Daniel 7 is coming, Daniel 9 and 11 are coming, Revelation 18 is coming, Jeremiah 51 is coming and it is all rolling down the tracks at us like a freight train that has lost its brakes.

The time has come, is time to ready ourselves to do our Lords will and work then to meet Him on the day He has appointed for each of us.  There is precious little time left before the time of Jacob's trouble begins.

Behold The Fourth Beast II

The fourth beast of Daniel is taking shape before our eyes.  In seeking answers from the Lord about this fourth beast, I may have also learned that I have been wrong about America being Babylon.  Up till now, America has been a perfect fit (and the only fit) but what happens when this fourth beast kingdom is set up?

Here is what we know:

Daniel 2

31Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee; and the form thereof was terrible. 32This image's head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass, 33His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay. 34Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces. 35Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.

36This is the dream; and we will tell the interpretation thereof before the king. 37Thou, O king, art a king of kings: for the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory. 38And wheresoever the children of men dwell, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the heaven hath he given into thine hand, and hath made thee ruler over them all. Thou art this head of gold.

39And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee, and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth.

40And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things: and as iron that breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise. 41And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay. 42And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken. 43And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.

Daniel 7

3And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another. 4The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it. 5And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh. 6After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it. 7After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns. 8I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes.

And here we have a link between this fourth beast and end time Babylon:

Jeremiah 51

20Thou art my battle axe and weapons of war: for with thee will I break in pieces the nations, and with thee will I destroy kingdoms;

21And with thee will I break in pieces the horse and his rider; and with thee will I break in pieces the chariot and his rider;

22With thee also will I break in pieces man and woman; and with thee will I break in pieces old and young; and with thee will I break in pieces the young man and the maid;

23I will also break in pieces with thee the shepherd and his flock; and with thee will I break in pieces the husbandman and his yoke of oxen; and with thee will I break in pieces captains and rulers.

24And I will render unto Babylon and to all the inhabitants of Chaldea all their evil that they have done in Zion in your sight, saith the LORD.

25Behold, I am against thee, O destroying mountain, saith the LORD, which destroyest all the earth: and I will stretch out mine hand upon thee, and roll thee down from the rocks, and will make thee a burnt mountain.

  

There is alot going on here ^^ and we can find even more in Revelation 18 but puzzle pieces I would like to put together today are here:

1.  We have a link between this fourth beast and Babylon.

2.  This fourth and final beast breaks in pieces all previous kingdoms (and the lands associated with them) to include the Roman empire, Persian empire, the Greek empire.

3.  This final fourth beast empire appears to be a revived Islamic Caliphate.

What evidence to we have that this final beast kingdom will be a revived Islamic Caliphate and not a revived Roman empire (as commonly taught)?

1.  Current events.  The Lord is tipping His hand right now.  What is the Lord doing in the world?  Islam is being promoted, glorified by the entire western world.  In fact, all western governments have facilitated a de facto conquest of the west by Islam through their forced immigration policies and government protection of muslims as a 'protected class' while all others are treated like second class citizens.  

2.  Babylon-up till now America was the only 'shoe that fit' the description of end time Babylon but the end times have not concluded yet.  What we are seeing across the world is a radical transformation that includes massive migration of Islamic peoples, and dissolution of national sovereign borders.  Why?  The end game is a revived Islamic Caliphate. Look at the area ISIS controls, the national borders have disintegrated into new borders.  War has a tendency to do that and much more war is on the horizon.

Did you know they are planning to build a new, largest building in the world in Iraq soon?  See here.

 It appears that end time Babylon will be much closer to ancient Babylon than any of us thought.  What this nobody failed to consider when naming America end time Babylon was how radical and radically fast the end time transformation of the world would occur.  We are watching it happen right now before our eyes.

There is much more transformation that must happen but it appears from all the evidence before us we are watching the evolution of the final end time beast, revived Babylon, a revived Islamic Caliphate before our very eyes.  Needless to say a revived Islamic Caliphate that conquers and destroys the entire world does not bode well for Israel who will be at the very center of all of this.  More to come later.

The Road To Jerusalem II

The following article shows proof positive of who the Russians (and many other world governments) think is behind ISIS:

Helicopters drop leaflets on ISIS and rebel fighters
If the Russians believe Israel has created, funded, trained and supported ISIS, how long before this happens:

Luke 21:20And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.

How long before the entire world, filled with rage, turns on Israel?  What happens when France, Germany, Russia, Great Britain and others come to the conclusion that the terrorist deaths to their citizens can be laid at the feet of Israel?

Understand that we are connecting dots here.  Not between whether you and I believe Israel is behind ISIS (we do not control armies), but whether the people who control tanks and planes and ships and missiles believe Israel is behind ISIS.  What do they believe?

They say a picture is worth a thousand words:

The Road To Jerusalem

We all know the middle east is filling up with armies in the name of fighting terrorism, specifically ISIS.  So what happens when all these armies (of Russia, Germany, France, England, The United States) in the middle east suddenly come to the conclusion that ISIS they are fighting in the Middle East is really Israel?  We are one short step away from hearing the world say "It is Israel who is causing all this worldwide terror!"

Here is the bottom line...we know how this ends:

Luke 21:20 "When you see Jerusalem being surrounded by armies, you will know that its desolation is near."

We have no need of far fetched conspiracy theories or long winded explanations.  Right now the middle east is full of armies.  Right now "evidence" is surfacing that Israel is behind/supporting/training/funding/fighting alongside ISIS.  You don't have to believe it, I dont have to believe it, none of that matters.  What matters is what the Lord said, period:


Luke 21:20 "When you see Jerusalem being surrounded by armies, you will know that its desolation is near."

Matt 24:15“So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination that causes desolation,’^a spoken of through the prophet Daniel—let the reader understand— 16then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 17Let no one on the housetop go down to take anything out of the house. 18Let no one in the field go back to get their cloak. 19How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! 20Pray that your flight will not take place in winter or on the Sabbath. 21For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again.

This ^^ is guaranteed to happen.  Absolutely, positively, 100% surely will happen.  You don't have to be an analyst to see these pieces fall in place.  A child with the Word of God in his hands could see this coming.

Time is short.

What About The Escape From All

With all of the events going on around the world pointing to the final 7 years before our Lord's kingdom on earth is established, I asked the Lord why He has not had the escape from all event on my heart, mind and spirit to write about it here.  This is the response in my words:

The escape from all, unannounced unexpected coming of the Lord (distinguished from the known coming known as "the second coming") will take place exactly as our Lord said it would:

Luke 21:36Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

Mark 13:32 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.

33Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is. 34For the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch. 35Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning: 36Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. 37And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.

If this event is drawing near ^^ why has it not been in the forefront of His servants mind, heart and spirit?  Because on the unexpected, unknown day that this ^^ happens, we should be found doing His work and His will.  What does that mean?  It means we should do the one thing without forgetting the other thing.  What does that mean?

We are to 1.  be doing our Lords work and will on this earth until the last day we stand on this earth while at the same time 2.  joyfully expecting the unknown time of our Lord's arrival (the escape from all).

Do one without forgetting the other.  There is a temptation to sit back and idle knowing His arrival is near, we must resist that.  If He is always working, we must be always working out His will on this earth.

Every single thing our Lord said would happen is happening or about to happen.  The time is not some far flung date on the calendar, the time is upon us.  The events of prophesy that generations read about but did not see, we are seeing them.  It has been said here before and here it is again.  What makes this time different?  Why is it in previous generations believers thought "this is it" and that was not it (like Hitler being "the" anti-Christ instead of one of many anti-Christs predecessors that have walked the earth)?

What makes this different is one word:  ISRAEL.   In 1967 (a jubilee year), after a 2000 year wait the Jews had control of Jerusalem again.  Does that change things?  You bet it does.  We are in a Jubilee year again.  What could possibly happen?  Have you been watching current events?  The middle east is filling up with armies.  Russia, France, Germany, England, the United States all have troops and aircraft in the middle east now, did you notice?  What is the end game?  Where is this headed?

What did the Lord say?

And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.


All of the above mentioned countries have armies fighting in Syria.  How far is Syria from Israel?  A stones throw away....

People in the Church deceive themselves when they fail to acknowledge that the Lord has not finished His business with Israel.  

After Revelation 3, the church is not mentioned by name again for a reason.

Starting in Revelation 5, Israel is called out by name again for a reason.

Our Lord has many names, and what has He chosen to call Himself starting in Revelation 5?

5And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.

The tribe of Juda?  Yes, ISRAEL
The Root of David?  Yes, ISRAEL

Its right there in plain sight yet many in the Church would rather argue with what has been plainly and simply written to us.  No 500 page e-book needs to be written to explain what our Lord has shown us in one sentence.

It is happening, it is upon us.  Yes, the escape from all is coming and we should not forget it while at the same time we work out our Lord's will on this earth.

All glory and honor and power be to the Lord our God who saves us from the wrath to come.

Behold The Fourth Beast

The fourth and final beast of Daniel 7 and Revelation 13 is taking shape before our very eyes:

Daniel 7:2Daniel said: “In my vision at night I looked, and there before me were the four winds of heaven churning up the great sea. 3Four great beasts, each different from the others, came up out of the sea.

4“The first was like a lion, and it had the wings of an eagle. I watched until its wings were torn off and it was lifted from the ground so that it stood on two feet like a human being, and the mind of a human was given to it.

5“And there before me was a second beast, which looked like a bear. It was raised up on one of its sides, and it had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth. It was told, ‘Get up and eat your fill of flesh!’

6“After that, I looked, and there before me was another beast, one that looked like a leopard. And on its back it had four wings like those of a bird. This beast had four heads, and it was given authority to rule.

7“After that, in my vision at night I looked, and there before me was a fourth beast—terrifying and frightening and very powerful. It had large iron teeth; it crushed and devoured its victims and trampled underfoot whatever was left. It was different from all the former beasts, and it had ten horns.

Revelation 13:

The Beast out of the Sea

1The dragon^a stood on the shore of the sea. And I saw a beast coming out of the sea. It had ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns on its horns, and on each head a blasphemous name. 2The beast I saw resembled a leopard, but had feet like those of a bear and a mouth like that of a lion. The dragon gave the beast his power and his throne and great authority. 3One of the heads of the beast seemed to have had a fatal wound, but the fatal wound had been healed. The whole world was filled with wonder and followed the beast. 4People worshiped the dragon because he had given authority to the beast, and they also worshiped the beast and asked, “Who is like the beast? Who can wage war against it?”

The components of the final beast:

The Lion-Great Britain
The Leopard-Germany
The wings on the Leopards Back-France
The Bear-Russia

They say a picture is worth a thousands words, so please read and re-read Daniel 7 and Revelation 13 and then look at these pictures:

Who is at the center of the Islamic invasion of Europe?  Germany.  Why is Germany leading it?

Because the Lord God said:

6“After that, I looked, and there before me was another beast, one that looked like a leopard. And on its back it had four wings like those of a bird. This beast had four heads, and it was given authority to rule.

The Leopard (Germany) was given authority to rule....Who is sending troops and military hardware into the the Middle East?  Russia (the bear) France (the bird wings), and Germany (the leopard).

Look at those pictures.  You are looking at the fourth beast, the final blasphemous kingdom taking shape.  This beast has 10 horns and 7 heads,  and out of this beast the little horn (anti-Christ) will arise.

Daniel 7:8“While I was thinking about the horns, there before me was another horn, a little one, which came up among them; and three of the first horns were uprooted before it. This horn had eyes like the eyes of a human being and a mouth that spoke boastfully.

What is the beauty in all this?  There is zero need to 'force fit' the puzzle pieces together.  We do not have to get creative to match the pieces exactly as our Lord described them to us.  This is how we can be sure we are looking at the truth take place all around us.  We have to answer two and only two questions here: 1.  What did the Lord God tell us would happen?  and 2. What is happening?  When you get a bulls-eye target hit, the truth speaks for itself.

How long ago did our Lord tell us what would happen?  A couple thousand years ago?  Absolutely amazing.  Our God is amazing.

This beast is taking place before our eyes right now, this is not some future far off event for our children to deal with (as some wishfully believed), no its here now.  So what happens next?  Well, we do not have to guess, our Lord told us what would happen:

Daniel 9:27 He will confirm a covenant with many for one 'seven.' In the middle of the 'seven' he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And at the temple he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him."

Its all right here ^^:

1.  He will confirm a covenant with many for one 'seven.'

2,  In the middle of the 'seven' he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And at the temple he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him."

What is happening in the middle east right now?  The setup for this ^^.  What else has the Lord told us?

Luke 21:20 "When you see Jerusalem being surrounded by armies, you will know that its desolation is near.


Last time I checked the news, the middle east is filling up with armies....For now they are centered on Iraq and Syria.  But how far pray tell are Iraq and Syria from Israel and Jerusalem?  You can toss a rock from the golan heights (Syria) and hit Israel. 

Bottom line?  The Lord God Almighty, our God told us what would happen and it is happening.  Not tomorrow, not in our children's lifetimes, not in some fairy tale land far far away.  Right here, right now in our world, in our day and age.

Glory and honor and power be to our God who told us these things would happen.  Our God warned us to prepare us for the days we live in.  What will become of us?  Our days and times are in our Lord's hands therefore we should seek our God, His face, His presence, His power to determine our steps while we walk on this earth.

Glory to God our Father through our Lord and Savior who saves us from the wrath to come.

1 Thess:4For we know, brothers and sisters^b loved by God, that he has chosen you, 5because our gospel came to you not simply with words but also with power, with the Holy Spirit and deep conviction. You know how we lived among you for your sake. 6You became imitators of us and of the Lord, for you welcomed the message in the midst of severe suffering with the joy given by the Holy Spirit. 7And so you became a model to all the believers in Macedonia and Achaia. 8The Lord’s message rang out from you not only in Macedonia and Achaia—your faith in God has become known everywhere. Therefore we do not need to say anything about it, 9for they themselves report what kind of reception you gave us. They tell how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God, 10and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead—Jesus, who rescues us from the coming wrath.

Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ

The First Shot of WW3 Was Fired on Tuesday, 11/24/2015

When Turkey shot down a Russian SU-24 over Syria.

Then U.S. backed rebels proceeded to murder the rescue crew sent out to pick up the pilots.

Lets be very clear about what just happened.  The moment Russia announced its intentions of sending aircraft after ISIS and western backed "moderate?" terrorists in Syria, Turkey and by extension NATO and thus the United States had a decision to make.  Would they or would they not shoot down the inevitable Russian jets that would be flying around the border of Syria and Turkey?  They had weeks to decide what to do and we just witnessed the decision.  What was the decision?

NATO members do not act unilaterally to start a war with nuclear powers like Russia.  A decision was made, a NATO/U.S. decision was made weeks ago that should this situation occur, war with Russia would be put on the table.  The United States, through its NATO proxy member Turkey threw down the gauntlet.

FYI before I write this note, I dislike all politicians equally.  The republicans are every bit as crooked and cowardly as the democrats.  That said here's a historical note:

Its always the Democrats who do this.  Every one of the bloodiest, highest cost of human life wars were started by who?  The party of "tolerance" appears to be the most intolerant of all:

WW1-Democrat-Woodrow Wilson
WW2=Democrat-Franklin Roosevelt
Korea-Democrat-Harry Truman
Vietnam-Democrat-Kennedy
WW3-Democrat-Obama

Why not include operations like desert storm in here?  Desert storm approximately 500 US soldiers died, Vietnam approximately 66,000 died.  The math doesn't lie....

Enough of politics, this historical note was presented to show you its just that time.  That time?  Yes.  Shemitah and Jubilee cycles have been in operation now for how long?  What are the chances that the opening shot of a potential world war are fired in a Jubilee year?  He is a God of perfect timing.

What were we told would happen?

Rev 6:3When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, “Come!” 4Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make people kill each other. To him was given a large sword.

Every day I see more evidence from my local community to the world stage that peace is being taken (progressively) from this earth.

This should encourage you^^.  (say what?)  It should encourage you that every Word spoken by our God is true and can be trusted.  What did our Lord say?

1 Thess 5:23 May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.


Our God is the God of peace.  Who is it that this world has rejected?  Our God, the God of peace.  So what do you get when the God of peace is kicked out, rejected, not wanted?  You get this:

Rev 6:3When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, “Come!” 4Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make people kill each other. To him was given a large sword.

This world is wicked, and what did our God say about the wicked?

Isaiah 57:21 "There is no peace," says my God, "for the wicked."


The United States, and its president Barack Obama declared war on Russia on Tuesday, November 24 2015 through its NATO proxy Turkey.

Russia has now witnessed (from their perspective):

1. Over 300 of its citizens murdered in cold blood when ISIS (western backed terrorists) blew up a Russian airliner over Egypt.
2. A Russian SU-24 bomber was shot down over Syria, a violation of international law and a declaration of war
3.  A Russian rescue crew was murdered by western backed terrorists (i mean "moderate" rebels) (A violation of international law, the Geneva convention) when the rescue helicopter sitting on the ground was blown up with a U.S. supplied TOW missile.

Now, how does Russia respond?  The question can be answered best through this:

Rev 6:3When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, “Come!” 4Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make people kill each other. To him was given a large sword.

and this:

Rev 6:7When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, “Come!” 8I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.


 Yea, brother D, they have been saying that for years what makes this time different?  One word:  Israel.  During WW2 when Hitler was running around terrorizing Europe and killing the Jews what did not exist?  Israel.  What makes this time different?  The simple existence of that little sliver of land in the middle east, the apple of our Lord's eye:  Israel.  That's what makes this time different.  And speaking of time, how often do we find ourselves in that one year window of time that only comes around once every 49+1 years and only when Israel is a nation on the face of the earth? 

It is happening right now before our eyes.  This is it.  We do not have to wait for it, it is here.  Do not take my word for it, open your eyes what do you see?
