Sharia Court Sentences Gay Men to 100 lashes: Western Media=Silent

Story here.

The double standard here is breathtaking.  What double standard?  Had this been a Christian court, every news outlet in the western hemisphere would be decrying this 'injustice' from the rooftops, no doubt with protests in the streets across the western world.  But when it is an Islamic court?  Its so quiet you can here a pin drop.

This incredible double standard is proof positive that the spirit of Babylon is alive and well in todays world.  That spirit has no qualms whatsoever with its own hypocrisy, its constant deception and wickedness that has no bounds.  Why is that?  Because the spirit of Babylon is the spirit of anti-Christ:

Isaiah 14
³ And it shall come to pass in the day that the Lord shall give thee rest from thy sorrow, and from thy fear, and from the hard bondage wherein thou wast made to serve,
⁴ That thou shalt take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say, How hath the oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased!

The king of Babylon is that wicked one that our Lord will overthrow with the breath of His mouth:

2 Thess 2
⁸ And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming.

The summary statement that sums up almost everything we are seeing, the corruption everywhere and the people who cannot get enough of it is: the rise of Babylon.  The whole world (minus the few who are in Christ Jesus) is following this spirit.  Only those who are rooted firmly in Christ will be able to resist this anti-Christ tidal wave that is sweeping over the world.

This calls for patient endurance.  The Lord has plans for this world....  He has different plans for us. 

1 Thes 5:9 For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Glory to God.

More Proof That Europe Is Finished

see article here:

DEATH OF A COUNTRY: Germany will become Islamic State, says Merkel

They are admitting they have every intention of continuing the trend of demolishing everything that was Europe in favor of  a new Babylon.  What are we seeing across the middle east and Europe?  The birth and development of new Babylon.  We do not have to guess at this one, it is Biblical fact.  What is the doomed end time entity that the Bible calls out by name?  Babylon

Rev 16:19 And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.

add to this ^^ to entire chapters in Jeremiah (50-51) and an entire chapter in Isaiah (13) and you start to get the idea about Babylon.  The Lord tells us a lot about this end time entity so we should not be surprised to see it grow before our eyes.

Everything is happening exactly as the Lord God said it would happen.  Only an all powerful, all knowing God can do this.  He saw the apostasy of Europe before it happened.  How else could Europe be invaded with Islam unless Christianity was kicked out first?  Light does not flee from darkness, darkness flees from light.  If you remove the light (Christ Jesus), darkness moves in immediately.  This is what we are seeing across the western world.  Are there small lights that still exist across Europe?  Of course, our Lord has believers everywhere:

Rev 5:9And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 10And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.

The believers who remain in Europe must do what the Spirit of the Lord instructs them to do.  They will each be given very specific instructions, personal to them as individuals and families.  The Lord always takes care of His own.  We too must also be listening to what the Spirit of the Lord says to us as individuals.  The rest of the world is not so far behind Europe in their spiritual apostasy.  We are all living 'behind enemy lines' in a spiritual sense, so we require very specific and timely instruction from the Lord to survive.

On a lighter note, as dark as it seems down here, the Lord is not troubled in the slightest by the overwhelming odds stacked against us.  He seems to like it this way.  Remember how things happened back at the Red Sea with Israel.  Not exactly a promising scenario for Israel there, until of course the God of eternity split the Red Sea wide open and allowed Israel to cross unmolested.  So it is today, once again believers have their backs up against another 'Red Sea.'  The modern day forces of Pharaoh have aligned against us and our backs are against the wall.  What now?  The Lord has plans for us today and for today's Pharaoh, just as He did when Israel was hemmed in against the sea.

We have been given many promises, promises of escape.  Just as Israel escaped the chariots of Pharaoh, so will those who are in Christ (and believe in the promises) escape.  The anger, the rage, the veins popping out of the neck and red faces we see anytime the rapture or escape of any kind is mentioned today is proof positive that even the enemy believes in the promises our Father gave us.  The enemy knows for a fact that our God does not lie.  When the Almighty says something is going to happen, it will happen.  Period.

I see a lot of escaping going on in the end times.  Forget the rapture arguments, you can cause much more damage to the escape deniers by taking the promises one by one on their own merit.  This multiplies the problems the deniers have in explaining it all away.  Maybe Luke 21:36 is the rapture, maybe its not.  The escape deniers like to argue that its not which is fine, now they have two problems instead of one.  If Luke 21:36 is not the rapture then we have 2 places where believers escape instead of 1.

Luke 21:34And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. 35For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. 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.

Yes, and this is a promise to escape ALL of whats about to happen.  This writer finds a promise like that very attractive, especially in light of who made the promise (Almighty God.)

I see more end time escape here:

Rev 3:10Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.

I see two more end time escapes here:

Rev 12:5And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne. 6And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.

1.  her child was caught up unto God-that's one
2.  the woman fled into the wilderness where the Lord prepared a place for her-that's two

Yep, there's a lot of escaping going on here!  Yes, its a very 'escapist' mentality that I proudly adopt as my own.  If the Lord God told us to be watching and praying always for this escape, then yes we should have an escapist mentality.  In the meantime, while we are praying for escape we are doing our Lord's will here on earth. 

So yes, things are looking bad for this world at the moment.  The governments in the west are flooding their own countries with Islam (and by default-terror).  Little do they know they are pawns in the hand of Almighty God.  They are creating the end time Babylon exactly as our Lord described it to us in the pages of His Word.  So, do not be troubled.  The same God who saw this coming thousands of years ago has prepared a way for us just as He did for Israel when they were backed up against the Red Sea.  Glory to God.

Be listening for His voice, repent and pray.  Be a man or woman who walks with God

Gen 5:24 And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.

And the Lord will take care of the rest....

‘Abbas has decided to sign peace deal with Israel’

article in jpost here.

Well, the timing seems to line up for something special to happen this year.  70 years (a Biblical generation) from the Balfour declaration and 50 (a jubilee) years from the recapture of Jerusalem in the six days war makes this year 2017 a prophetic nexus.  When we see things beginning to shape up according to what the Lord told us would happen during a nexus in time like this year we should be on alert.

France Votes For National Suicide

Marine Le Pen accepts defeat

What does the election of Macron mean for France and the EU?  It means a continuation of the status quo for Europe.  What does more of the status quo look like?

1.  More Islamic invasion of Europe
2.  More Islamic terrorism in Europe
3.  Increased persecution of Jews and Christians in Europe
4.  Increased dictatorial power pushed down from Brussels onto the people of Europe
5.  More (if it were possible) European hostility toward Israel

Most of the time we can only see after the fact what the Lord has decided for this world.  It appears there is no wait and draw this timeline out for Europe, their destruction is to continue full speed ahead with no pause to breathe.  A similar election is coming up in Germany with a similar result predicted.

Why does this matter, why write about it here?  Because the middle east is the center of end time prophesy.  The time of Jacob's trouble is centered around Jacob, which means Israel, which means the middle east.  The interesting thing about the end time transformation we are witnessing is the transformation of Europe into a part of the middle east.  Why is that significant?  Because there is an end time killing field being setup according to the Word of the Lord here:

Rev 6:7And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. 8And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.

Notice what it does not say, it does not say a fourth part of mankind.  It says a fourth part of the earth so this is a geographical framework.  It is some 25% area of the earth that will be given over to Death and Hell.  We know Israel is the center of it and it expands out to encompass 25% of the earth.  Here is where we are forced to look beyond the middle east as a killing field.  How much land mass does the Middle east make up?  6.2%.  That means we need another 18-19% of the earth's land mass to make up the difference.  Hello Europe, are you listening?  Europe only makes up 6.8% which means Asia has to get a piece of the action as well. 

Europe is in the process of being marked for destruction.  The Euro is in a multi-year decline, European culture is being eradicated in deference to Islamic people and culture, European banks are on the brink of collapse (Deutsche Bank comes to mind).  In short, Europe is in serious trouble and todays election in France might have iced the cake.  Europe sealed its own fate the moment it decided to kick Christianity out.  How ironic that Christianity was too much of a burden but they are willing to embrace militant Islam with open arms.

What about those who are in Christ that live in Europe?  The Lord knows how to take care of His own.  His servants in Europe need to be listening to His voice.

The train of prophesy is moving forward at breakneck speed.  I wondered what the Lord would do in Europe, now we know.  Instead of a delay or reversal of the destruction of Europe it has now been greenlighted, full speed ahead.

Every Day The World Gets A Little Worse But....

At first glance one might think the wicked are winning this battle of good against evil.  Unfortunately for the wicked, they do not win this fight:

Ps 2:1Why do the nations rage^a
and the peoples plot in vain?
2The kings of the earth set themselves,
and the rulers take counsel together,
against the Lord and against his Anointed, saying,
3“Let us burst their bonds apart
and cast away their cords from us.”

4He who sits in the heavens laughs;
the Lord holds them in derision.
5Then he will speak to them in his wrath,
and terrify them in his fury, saying,
6“As for me, I have set my King
on Zion, my holy hill.”

7I will tell of the decree:
The Lord said to me, “You are my Son;
today I have begotten you.
8Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage,
and the ends of the earth your possession.
9You shall break^b them with a rod of iron
and dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.”

All the plotting, all the scheming, all the secret societies, the winks, the nods at evil, they are all destined to be broken with a rod of iron.  Does it sound like the Lord is troubled at this plotting of the wicked, these temporary victories?  Doesn't sound like it to me:

4He who sits in the heavens laughs;
the Lord holds them in derision.

He (our God=The Almighty) is laughing at them! 

So what?  So it seems like this world gets a little more wicked each day.  Each day there is a new headline of Islam making inroads in the west, of Christianity being sidelined, of people giving up and giving in to the wicked around us.  It is important for those of us who are in Christ to remember the end from the beginning.  We win this war.  We will stand in victory with our feet on our enemy's neck:

Rev 3:9Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee. 

Ps 23: 5Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

Heb 10:11And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: 12But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; 13From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool

Ps 37:34 Hope in the LORD and keep his way. He will exalt you to inherit the land; when the wicked are destroyed, you will see it.

Our day is coming, we just have to wait for it.  This is why we were told to be patient and endure, we win this war.
