How Does This Bode For Israel?

As you watch this video, keep in mind that the governments of the world have recently accelerated the trends listed in the video many times over.  They apparently cannot wait for years to turn the world into a giant islamic caliphate, they (our dear politicians) want the caliphate right now.
Its not just the presidents and prime ministers who are pushing this, all the way down to mayors of small towns are telling their citizens "if you dont like the islamic immigration you can leave!"  Another proof here.

The people of the west can protest all they want, the politicians have spoken "if you dont like it, leave!"  This is not a tomorrow problem as this video suggests, the leaders of the west have put their foot on the gas pedal to full throttle to make this islamic transition immediate if not sooner.  While people are sitting around trying to figure out the correct politically correct way to respond to this invasion, the invasion and takeover will be complete.

What's the point?  This is the point:

2 Thess 2:5Don’t you remember that when I was with you I used to tell you these things? 6And now you know what is holding him back, so that he may be revealed at the proper time. 7For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way. 8And 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. 9The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan works. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie, 10and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie 12and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.

This world and its people had no room for the truth.  They removed prayer from the schools, removed the ten commandments from courthouses, have kicked out any and all language from every public place that even hints at the God of the Bible (Father, Son and Holy Spirit).  And all of this happened because first, the God of the Bible was removed from the people.  In their hearts and in their minds and spirits they rejected Him by choosing their own ways over and over again.  There is nothing new under the sun:

Isaiah 30:8Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the time to come for ever and ever:

9That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the LORD:

10Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits:

11Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.

12Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel, Because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and stay thereon:

13Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking cometh suddenly at an instant.

14And he shall break it as the breaking of the potters' vessel that is broken in pieces; he shall not spare: so that there shall not be found in the bursting of it a sherd to take fire from the hearth, or to take water withal out of the pit.

15For thus saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not.

Ecclesiastes 1:9What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing
new under the sun.

Why does history repeat itself?  Because human nature has never ever changed from day one until now.  The people want more Joel Osteen and less Jesus.

It has been written here many times, this time it is different.  Long gone are the days when people could bury their heads from the bad news and it would all just go away.  Now, Islamic hordes will forcibly yank those heads out of the sand and demand "convert or die."  It was less than ten years ago some friends of mine would roll all of this off their shoulders with "I'll never live to see it all happen."  Guess what?  They are still alive and it is all happening.

Whats the point?

The point is, the Lord God told us all of this would happen and it is happening.  All of it.  Every Word of it.  And?  And this should give us confidence that our God can be trusted.  He meant every Word He has spoken to us through His Word.  There are many promises He has made to us and I intend to bring every promise of provision and protection He has made to us right back to Him in prayer and petition and supplication with great thanksgiving and praise.  I encourage you to do likewise.  The Lord our God respects His Word and He respects faith.  He responds to His Word and He responds to faith.  Read your Bibles, thats what it tells us over and over again.

The problems we are seeing in the world are due to a lack of faith and a lack of adherence to His Word.  If this was not so, why would our God ask us this?

Luke 18:8Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?”

Time is short.  The islamic invasion that the politicians of the west are facilitating and accelerating is nothing short of breathtaking.  By the time most people in america figure out what has happened to them it will be all over.  The germans, swedes, french etc are learning this right now.  None of us really knew what the outcome of the lunar tetrad on the Lords feast days would be, now we are figuring it out.  None of us really knew how the Jubilee year and the next shemitah cycle would play out, now we are getting clued in.

The gates of hell have opened, the accelerator is pressed into the floor.  No turning back now, it is fast forward ahead.  Goodbye grey area, goodbye hiding from the spiritual reality that underlies this world.  Goodbye to playing church.  Now, either people are the Church or they are finished.  The same goes for Israel.  Our God told us all of this was coming, should we be surprised it is here?

Should we fear?  No.  We should be the Church and stop playing Church.  We are the living breathing organic Body of Christ, not a man made, lifeless, faithless, fortune 500 styled organization.  We will stand or fall based on our faith.  We have to remember who wins this war in the end.

Hebrews 13:5 Keep your lives free from the love of money and be ...

Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you."

Deuteronomy 31:8 The LORD himself goes before you and will be with ...

The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave
you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged ...
This world racing from a state of spiritual dark to pitch black.  We better hold onto our Lord's hand for dear life and do exactly precisely everything He told us to do.  The time for religious games is over.  OVER.  This is life and death and eternity hangs in the balance.  Get right and stay right with the Lord our God, time is up.

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

Palestinians torch Jewish shrine, new protests erupt

Link to article here.

The line in this article that jumped out at me was this:

Jerusalem (AFP) - Palestinians torched a site revered by Jews in the West Bank in an incident that threatened to further inflame two weeks of deadly unrest, as fresh protests erupted Friday.

So there has been roughly two weeks of unrest?  Go back two weeks on the calendar and where does that put us?  In the neighborhood of that last blood moon on 9/28....Trouble for Israel has been brewing almost to the day of that last blood moon of the lunar tetrad.  What makes those signs in the heavens special is they cannot and were not faked or twisted by the enemy or his servants.  No, they really were blood moons and they really were on the Lord's Feast days and we really are in a Jubilee year right before another week of 7 years is to begin in the fall of 2016.

Once you get past Revelation 5, its all about Israel.  Israel and the tribes of Israel are mentioned by name.  Who or what is no longer mentioned by name?  The Church.  The Lord does not make mistakes nor does He forget to include nor does He make poor Word choices.  If the Church was specifically mentioned in Revelation 2-3 then is no longer specifically mentioned and instead Israel and the tribes of Israel are called out by name, there is a reason for it....

4And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.

5Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand. 6Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nepthalim were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses were sealed twelve thousand. 7Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand. 8Of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand.

Do you see the Church mentioned anywhere here ^^?  No, its Israel and the tribes of Israel called out by name.  A shift is taking place in this world back to Israel.  If this is so, then what of the Church?  Detailed instructions and warnings were given to us in Revelation 2-3.  There is a Church among these 7 that is kept from the hour of trial that is before us.  That Church was commended for the following things:

8I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name. 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. 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.

1.  We keep His Word
2.  We do not deny His name
3.  We are patient

Simple enough.  In a world that is anti-Christ to the core these ^^ things are not so easy to do
anymore and growing more difficult by the day but what they are not difficult to understand.

What is the Word of the Lord to us, the Church of Philadelphia?  Keep His Word, do not deny His name, be patient.  The Lord has set times and seasons for everything.  Our time is almost up.

Ecc 3:1 There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens:


It is time for Israel to step back up to the plate, the time for settling accounts is almost upon us:

Ecc 3:15Whatever is has already been,

and what will be has been before;

and God will call the past to account.^b

Daniel 9:24“Seventy ‘sevens’^c are decreed for your people and your holy city to finish^d transgression, to put an end to sin, to atone for wickedness, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the Most Holy Place.^e

The Lord made a point to bring the Shemitah cycle to our awareness through brother Jonathan Cahn.  The cycle is undeniable and has been punctuated on time, every cycle (including this one that just ended) since Jerusalem was recaptured by Israel in 1967.  We are now in a Jubilee year and the next "seven" begins in the fall of next year, 2016.  Why did the Lord bring the entire world's attention to the Shemitah cycle?  Why did the Lord bring the world's attention to the lunar tetrad cycle on His feast days?  Everything He does has a purpose and all of it works for our good. 

It is the opinion/speculation of this nobody, slave of the Most High God that this Jubilee year is a year to get our affairs in order for the next 7 year period that begins in the fall of 2016.  The Lord highlighted the Shemitah cycle and those blood moons for a reason, it is for us to figure out that reason.  You have read this nobody's opinion/speculation, you be the judge.

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

Palestinian Runs Over People Then Gets Out of Car

and starts hacking people with a machete.

Video here.

Where did this take place?  Jerusalem.  Who were involved?  Palestinians and Jews.

Israel is at the center of what is coming.  Jerusalem and Jews are at the center of what is coming.  The blood moons were real and they pointed directly to what is now taking place.  We are not even a month into the Jubilee year and the fireworks are going off everywhere in and around Israel.

It is time to be ready to meet our Lord.  One way or another everybody on the face of this earth is soon to be on bended knees before Him confessing He is Lord.

Phil 2:9Therefore God exalted Him to the highest place,

and gave Him the name above all names,

10that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,

in heaven and on earth and under the earth,

11and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,

to the glory of God the Father.

We are in a Jubilee year that goes through September 2016.  What begins in September 2016?  A new week of years, a new Shemitah cycle, another "7".  Will the fall of 2016 see the beginning of the tribulation period?  Only time will tell.  It appears that the rapid pace of change across this planet since the first day of this Jubilee year that final preparations and staging is taking place for just that very thing:  the beginning of the tribulation.

Few people will survive the tribulation period, believer or otherwise. 

Isaiah 13:11And I will visit upon the world their evil,

And upon the wicked their iniquity;

And I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease,

And will lay low the haughtiness of the tyrants.

12I will make man more rare than fine gold,

Even man than the pure gold of Ophir.

In Revelation 6 we see 1/4 of the world population wiped out, then in Revelation 9 another 1/3 is killed.  There will not be many that enter the millennium in human form.  What is coming is hell on earth.

Should we fear?  No.  We love, trust and obey our Lord here on earth just as we will in heaven.  The same God who provided for us and protected us yesterday will be the same God who will do it today and every day we have left on this earth.  We are to press deeper into our relationship with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  There is nothing new about this idea except the time pressing on us to get this done.

There is no time left.  Events are moving rapidly all around us. There are no secrets to learn, there is no special Word from the Lord required to do what we already know we should do.  Be men and women who walk with their God.  Keep the faith, be patient, give thanks, rejoice, praise Him for what He has already done.  Hold onto Him and do not let go.  Stay in the Word, pray always.  These are the things we should be doing anyway regardless of what is happening in the world.

The world appears to be in chaos but it only appears that way.  The Lord has a script of events that He wrote about thousands of years ago that is now coming to pass in our days.  We can read the Words of the prophets and the book of Revelation for the detailed description of those events.  For most people on this face of this earth what is coming is very bad, but I also see mercy and deliverance in what is coming.  Not everyone is destined for wrath and judgement.  There always has been and always will be a remnant, a few that are set apart to be spared.  As it was in the days of Noah (who was physically spared with his family) and Lot (who was physically spared with his family) , so it will be again when the Lord our God is revealed:

Luke 21:26“Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man. 27People were eating, drinking, marrying and being given in marriage up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all.

28“It was the same in the days of Lot. People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building. 29But the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.

30“It will be just like this on the day the Son of Man is revealed.
Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ

Yes, They Really Were Blood Moons

For all of the nonsense that has been out there about the lunar tetrad not being quite the right shade of red to qualify as blood moons, recent events around the world beg to differ.  What does an Islamic invasion of Europe mean for Israel, good or bad?  Jews will now be persecuted throughout the entire western world.

Today this article came across my desk:

Vladimir Putin says Russia will fight for the right of Palestinians to their own state

With the Russian Air Force, Army, Navy and Marines presence now established and growing in Syria, how does this bode for Israel?  Good or bad?  Israel, Saudi Arabia and the United States have funded and trained ISIS to take down Assad in Syria.  That plan failed miserably.  The Russians are destroying ISIS (which is good) but they are on the wrong side of this issue with the Palestinians and Israel.  Nobody.... nobody touches the Lord's possession without getting their nose bloodied or worse.

 The Word points to Israel in the end times, over and over again.  Who, what is at the center of the book of Revelation?  Hebrews, Israel, The temple, Judea, Jerusalem, the tribes of Israel:


Rev 5:5And one of the elders says to me, “Do not weep. Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, has overcome to open the scroll and its seven seals.”

Rev 7:4And I heard the number of those having been sealed, one hundred forty-four thousand, having been sealed out of every tribe of the sons of Israel:

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.

The Sabbath?  Does the Church observe the Sabbath?  No, Israel does, the Jews do, those who live in Judea do.

Yes, the blood moons we observed in the heavens over the past 1.5 years or so were real blood moons and yes they spelled trouble for Israel.

Buckle your seatbelts.

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

The Islamic Invasion of The West

The Islamic invasion of the West is a rod of punishment in the hand of our God.  Our God, the Christian God holds this Islamic rod of punishment in His hand.  Don't want to take my word for it, great, how about this for evidence:

Chancellor Merkel: “Lord God” Sent Illegal Immigrants

Do I believe her?  Did the Lord God send the Islamic immigrants?  You bet He did.  How can we be so sure? 

Ecclesiastes 1:9  What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.

Over and over and over again, who did the Lord use to punish His people when they were in backslidden disobedience?  Their Muslim/Islamic neighbors.  Where did the Babylonian captivity take place?  What religion do/did the Medes have?

Isaiah:13 1A prophecy against Babylon that Isaiah son of Amoz saw:

2Raise a banner on a bare hilltop,

shout to them;

beckon to them

to enter the gates of the nobles.

3I have commanded those I prepared for battle;

I have summoned my warriors to carry out my wrath—

those who rejoice in my triumph.

4Listen, a noise on the mountains,

like that of a great multitude!

Listen, an uproar among the kingdoms,

like nations massing together!

The Lord Almighty is mustering

an army for war.

5They come from faraway lands,

from the ends of the heavens—

the Lord and the weapons of his wrath—

to destroy the whole country.

6Wail, for the day of the Lord is near;

it will come like destruction from the Almighty.^a

7Because of this, all hands will go limp,

every heart will melt with fear.

8Terror will seize them,

pain and anguish will grip them;

they will writhe like a woman in labor.

They will look aghast at each other,

their faces aflame.

and

17See, I will stir up against them the Medes,

who do not care for silver

and have no delight in gold.

18Their bows will strike down the young men;

they will have no mercy on infants,

nor will they look with compassion on children.

19Babylon, the jewel of kingdoms,

the pride and glory of the Babylonians,^b

will be overthrown by God

like Sodom and Gomorrah.

The Chancellor of Germany is telling you this Islamic invasion is per the instructions of the Lord God.  The Islamic invasion of the west includes every country to include Finland, Denmark, Sweden, Belium, Holland, France, Germany, Austria, Australia, Spain, the United States, Canada, all of them being filled to the brim with state sponsored, state supported Islamic hordes.

As this invasion is taking place, has anyone stopped to wonder why?  Has anyone stopped to ask how and why this invasion is taking place?  How?  The Lord God ordered it.  Why?  The corruption, and wickedness and lawlessness of the western world has brought this invasion.  Yes, I know, they don't want to hear it.  These people would say "Who are you to tell me my lifestyle is wicked and decadent and an abomination in the sight of the Lord?"  Well, I am not going to tell them, the Islamic hordes will place their foot on their neck and they will tell them.  And all of this is and will be supported by the governments of the west.

Muslims have started doing sharia patrols in neighborhoods throughout the west.  What are the muslims telling the westerners?  Public intoxication is not allowed, half dressed women with their cleavage hanging out is not allowed, gay men parading their values in public displays is not allowed.  Is this radical or is this the voice of our God speaking through the rod of His anger?  Yes, it is against "western values" to restrict all this corruption and filth, tell that to the Shariah patrols and see how they respond.

It is "western values" that have brought this invasion.  When western values include every perversion known to man, exporting of porn, pedophelia, homosexual lifestyles, war, and lawlessness of every kind then we can understand how this Islamic invasion was birthed.  Who is to blame?  Is it the politicians?  No, it is not.  The politicians are doing the will of the Lord God as Ms. Merkel already declared for the world.

There is a price for disobedience.  There is a price for thumbing ones nose in the face of the Lord God Almighty.  There is a price for lawlessness, wickedness and corruption and we are seeing that price beginning to be paid by every western country on the planet right now before our eyes.  People can argue and disagree all they want to about their "rights" to perform their perversions but now they will do it with an Islamic boot on their neck.  They can protest all they want to, the states, the governments of this world will not lift a finger to help.  This is divine retribution.  This is payback.  This is the settling of accounts and it is just getting started.

As we read in Isaiah 13 Babylon will be invaded by far away armies that are not so far away anymore.  They are here now and arriving each and every day by the tens of thousands.

4Listen, a noise on the mountains,

like that of a great multitude!

Listen, an uproar among the kingdoms,

like nations massing together!

The Lord Almighty is mustering

an army for war.

5They come from faraway lands,

from the ends of the heavens—

the Lord and the weapons of his wrath—

to destroy the whole country.

It is this writer's belief that the headquarters of Babylon is the United States and the rest of the western world has been polluted by her maddening adulteries:

Revelation 14:8 A A second angel followed and said, "'Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great,' which
made all the nations drink the maddening wine of her adulteries."

I guess those blood moons were "red enough" after all.  Since the last blood moon stood in the heavens the Islamic invasion of the west has gone into overdrive.  How does a worldwide Islamic caliphate bode for Israel?  Do you think there is peace and safety in Israel's future with the governments and lands of the west being invaded and (eventually) overthrown by Islamic hordes?

This is where we stand today, the rod of the Lord's anger is in His hand and it is swinging at the western world daily.  Why is the western world being invaded and not the east?  Answer here:

1 Peter 4:17 For it is time for judgment to begin with God's household; and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who do not obey the gospel of God?


What was the source of the western worlds prosperity and dominance in the past?  It was the Lord God.  What has happened to the west?  They have rejected the source of the prosperity, protection, and provision. 

So, now that the rod of the Lord's anger has begun to swing, what of the righteous?  Again, there is nothing new under the sun.  What has been will be again.  What has the Lord said?

Isaiah 3:1See now, the Lord,

the Lord Almighty,

is about to take from Jerusalem and Judah

both supply and support:

all supplies of food and all supplies of water,

2the hero and the warrior,

the judge and the prophet,

the diviner and the elder,

3the captain of fifty and the man of rank,

the counselor, skilled craftsman and clever enchanter.

4“I will make mere youths their officials;

children will rule over them.”

5People will oppress each other—

man against man, neighbor against neighbor.

The young will rise up against the old,

the nobody against the honored.

6A man will seize one of his brothers

in his father’s house, and say,

“You have a cloak, you be our leader;

take charge of this heap of ruins!”

7But in that day he will cry out,

“I have no remedy.

I have no food or clothing in my house;

do not make me the leader of the people.”

8Jerusalem staggers,

Judah is falling;

their words and deeds are against the Lord,

defying his glorious presence.

9The look on their faces testifies against them;

they parade their sin like Sodom;

they do not hide it.

Woe to them!

They have brought disaster upon themselves.

10Tell the righteous it will be well with them,

for they will enjoy the fruit of their deeds.

11Woe to the wicked!

Disaster is upon them!

They will be paid back

for what their hands have done.

12Youths oppress my people,

women rule over them.

My people, your guides lead you astray;

they turn you from the path.

13The Lord takes his place in court;

he rises to judge the people.

14The Lord enters into judgment

against the elders and leaders of his people:

“It is you who have ruined my vineyard;

the plunder from the poor is in your houses.

15What do you mean by crushing my people

and grinding the faces of the poor?”

declares the Lord, the Lord Almighty.

16The Lord says,

“The women of Zion are haughty,

walking along with outstretched necks,

flirting with their eyes,

strutting along with swaying hips,

with ornaments jingling on their ankles.

17Therefore the Lord will bring sores on the heads of the women of Zion;

the Lord will make their scalps bald.”

18In that day the Lord will snatch away their finery: the bangles and headbands and crescent necklaces, 19the earrings and bracelets and veils, 20the headdresses and anklets and sashes, the perfume bottles and charms, 21the signet rings and nose rings, 22the fine robes and the capes and cloaks, the purses 23and mirrors, and the linen garments and tiaras and shawls.

24Instead of fragrance there will be a stench;

instead of a sash, a rope;

instead of well-dressed hair, baldness;

instead of fine clothing, sackcloth;

instead of beauty, branding.

25Your men will fall by the sword,

your warriors in battle.

26The gates of Zion will lament and mourn;

destitute, she will sit on the ground.

Why did the Lord give today's Christians the Old Testament to study along with the New.  The Old Testament is a book full of patterns.  Why is that important?  The Lord God does not change:

Hebrews 13:8Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

Conclusion

What is happening to the world is the result of rebellion, wickedness, perversion and corruption.  Mankind has chosen their own way and look at what has happened.  Gone, long gone are the days that people could safely bury their heads in the sand and wait a few days or weeks for what they dont like to pass by.  The arrival of the Islamic hordes means peoples heads will be forcibly yanked out of the holes they have dug for themselves and they will face the fruit of the wicked trees they have planted.

For the righteous what is happening is a warning to press in closer to the Lord God and to perfect their walk with Him.  Who can look at what is happening in the world and not tremble:

Hebrews 10:30For we know Him who said, “Vengeance is mine; I will repay,”d and again, “The Lord will judge His people.”e 31It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God

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

Do Not Turn. Love, Obey, Ask, Seek, Knock

I have been asking the Lord over the past few days what He would have us do.  What does it all boil down to, what is the essence or heart of what we should focus on?  Here you go:



Deut 5:32Ye shall observe to do therefore as the LORD your God hath commanded you: ye shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left. 33Ye shall walk in all the ways which the LORD your God hath commanded you, that ye may live, and that it may be well with you, and that ye may prolong your days in the land which ye shall possess.

Joshua 1:7 Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.

Old Testament?  Yes.  Has this ^^ changed?  NO:

John 14:23  Jesus replied, "If anyone loves me, he will obey my word, and my Father will love
him, and we will come to him and take up residence with him.

Deuteronomy 30:20  And if you love and obey the LORD, you will live long in the land the LORD
swore to give your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Love and obedience are directly linked....^^^^.

What do we humans want?  We all want to maximize pleasure and minimize pain, that is how we are wired.  Who actually enjoys pain and suffering?  Nobody in their right mind.  So, back to what was written above.  What has the Lord God told us?  Do what He told us to do so things will go well with us.  Obey.  Do not let anything that offends the Spirit reside within us

Ephesians 4:30 

And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for
the day of redemption.
Yes, we all have problems and tribulations throughout our lives:

John 16:33 I have told you these things so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take courage; I have overcome the world!"


We have problems, we have tribulations but in Him we overcome them all:

Psalm 34:6This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.

ח

7The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.

ט

8O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.

י

9O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.

We have problems, we have tribulations and some of these last for years but then what?  Then we are delivered from them all, we are saved out of them.  The Lord tests all of us with time.  How long are we willing to wait for His deliverance?  Will we remain faithful while we wait?  These two questions have everything riding on them.  Too many give up too soon.  What has the Lord said?

Ecclesiastes 7:8 The end of a matter is better than its beginning, and patience is better than
pride

Why is the end better than the beginning? Because in the end we get our answers, after we have been tested by time.  At the end we get our answer, at the end we get our deliverance, at the end we get our testimony.  At the end when we have been tested by time, not before.  Each and every situation has a different time associated with it.  Sometimes we get our answers right now, sometimes in hours, days, weeks or yes sometimes years but we get our answers.

The Lord God has said this and He cannot lie:

Matt 7:7Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 8For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. 9Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?
Last time I checked, every one means every one, no exceptions.  So what is the caveat?  The will of God and time.  We ask and receive according to 1. His will and 2. Time

1 John 5:14 . This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we
ask anything according to his will, he hears us.

It has been this servants experience that our Lord's answer come in 3 flavors: 1. yes, 2. no 3. yes, but wait.  We have to know our Master's voice.  People will ask, "how do I know if I should keep praying, believing for something?  Am I wasting my time if the answer is no and I do not know it?"  It has been this servants experience that when the answer is no, the Lord knows how to get that across to us in no uncertain terms.  In the past when the answer was no and I was slow to "get it" He (it felt like) turned my guts inside out is the only way I can explain how it felt.  Bottom line, my inner man (hearing from the Lord) was shouting NO.  So in this servants experience the Lord knows how to communicate no to us.  What about yes and yes but wait?  If we did not get a no, it is likely one of these two answers, keep praying, keep believing and do not give up.

This is where our daily communion with our Lord comes in, our peace in His presence tell us volumes about what we are praying for.  If we have peace in our inner man while we are in His presence praying about something then we need to keep on praying, keep on believing, continue in patience and faith and watch what happens.  In the end, after we have waited and suffered in patience enough we will have our answer.  We do not suffer without reason 

Romans 5:3Not only that, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out His love into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, whom He has given us.

This nobody who writes to you today does not write with empty words.  The Lord first had me experience this waiting in faith and patience with suffering to give me a testimony to share with you.  The waiting in faith and patience has produced MIRACLES, yes miracles.  The waiting in faith and patience has produced answers to prayers.  This is my testimony given to me by the Lord God to share with you.

Every Word that our Lord has written can be trusted.  This is what the Lord said:

Matt 7:7Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 8For every one that asketh receiveth

And my testimony to you is this ^^ can be trusted.  Yes, we will suffer while we wait, but we will have our answers.  The Lord said it, the Lord meant it.



How do we sum all this up?

Love, obey.  Then, ask, seek, knock and you will have your answers.


 

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

Changes Are Coming

Today, A Jewish man stepped onto the temple mount and was not even allowed to finish one sentence of a prayer before being physically removed by police.

This my friends is a Jubilee year....Israel gets something back this year, specifically LAND....

Lev 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. 11A jubile shall that fiftieth year be unto you: ye shall not sow, neither reap that which groweth of itself in it, nor gather the grapes in it of thy vine undressed. 12For it is the jubile; it shall be holy unto you: ye shall eat the increase thereof out of the field.

Return of Property

13In the year of this jubile ye shall return every man unto his possession. 14And if thou sell ought unto thy neighbour, or buyest ought of thy neighbour's hand, ye shall not oppress one another: 15According to the number of years after the jubile thou shalt buy of thy neighbour, and according unto the number of years of the fruits he shall sell unto thee: 16According to the multitude of years thou shalt increase the price thereof, and according to the fewness of years thou shalt diminish the price of it: for according to the number of the years of the fruits doth he sell unto thee. 17Ye shall not therefore oppress one another; but thou shalt fear thy God: for I am the LORD your God.

Are things going to have to change radically for a Jewish man like this to be able to pray on the temple mount?  Oh yes.  Will things change, radically?  Oh yes.  Am I predicting something?  Oh yes.  I predict that every single Word spoken by the Most High God will be fulfilled to the letter.

What did the Most High God predict would happen?

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.


In the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and offering to cease.  Well, as of today not only is there no sacrifice and no offering, a Hebrew man cannot even offer a one sentence prayer without being physically removed.  Ground shaking, absolutely massive changes are ahead of us.  How did this Jubilee year start?  With war in the middle east.  Just a coincidence?  Watch and see.

Let me repeat my prediction:

I predict that every single Word spoken by the Most High God will be fulfilled to the letter.

and what has the Most High God spoken?

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.


It will be fulfilled to the letter.

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

I Know The Plans I Have For You

This has not changed:


For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.


Over the Old Covenant through the New Covenant this has not changed.  Our Lord's heart for us has not changed.  The New Covenant that we are not under always has been and is now good news.  The only bad news is for those who have rejected the good news.


What has the Lord said to this nobody to share with you today?  This ^^ and this:  it may seem that this world is out of control but it only seems that way.  The Lord our God, Creator, King and Master of Eternity has everything firmly in control.  What is happening in the world is what has been written about for thousands of years.  The only people todays events should be new news to is those who have not read the Bible.


Do not be troubled, our Lord walks among us today as He always has.  The promise is this:


Hebrews 13:5            

Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you." ...

Deuteronomy 31:8            

The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged

Be strong in the strength the Lord gives you today.  Stand your ground, if all you have the strength to do is stand, then stand.  Time is short.  No man knows the day or hour our Lord will return for us (the unknown return not the 'second coming.')  If we stand in the faith, watching and waiting and hoping for that glorious day, we will not be ashamed.


We who hope and long for the appearance of our Lord purify ourselves as we wait for Him:


1 John 3:1See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. 2Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears,^a we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. 3All who have this hope in him purify themselves, just as he is pure.


Stand your ground in love, faith and hope.  Be encouraged today, your God knows you by name and is intimately aware of every circumstance in your life.  It may not seem like it, it may not feel like it but our God has this world and everything going on in this world working for our good.


Romans 8:28            

And we know that God works all things together for the good of those who love Him, who are called according to His purpose.

All glory and honor and power and all the might, splendor, riches and praise be unto the Lord our God who loved us and died for us that we might have eternal life with Him.


Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ who saved us from the wrath to come.






























 

Knowing The Lord and The Escape

The Lord would have me write this to you so here it is.

Not all Christians know the Lord the same way.  The Bible talks about us "knowing God" and Him knowing us:

2 Peter 1:2  Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the
knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord

Ephesians 4:13  ... This will continue until we all come to such unity in our faith and knowledge of
God's Son that we will be mature in the Lord, measuring up to the full an

Proverbs 2:5 then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God.

Romans 1:28 

Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of
God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not



1 Corinthians 8:3  ... but if anyone loves God, he is known by Him

John 8:55 Though you do not know him, I know him. If I said I did not, I would be a liar like you, but I do know him and obey his word.
 

He reveals Himself in different ways to different people:

Psalm 18:25To the faithful you show yourself faithful,

to the blameless you show yourself blameless,

26to the pure you show yourself pure,

but to the devious you show yourself shrewd.

We can illustrate this through the Churches of Revelation, does the Church at Ephesus know the Lord the same way the Church at Smyrna or Pergamum or Sardis or Philadelphia or Laodicea does?  No, different relationships, different views on the same God.

Here now is a question to illustrate this same point:  Does a backslidden Christian have the same relationship with the Lord that an obedient faithful Christian in good standing has with the Lord?  Obviously not:

Hebrews 12:7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?


One believer may have a life full of a lot more Divine chastising than another.  One believer may know the rod of correction more than another but that is just one example of many.  How we are, who we are, what we believe is how the Lord deals with us.  Again:

Psalm 18:25To the faithful you show yourself faithful,

to the blameless you show yourself blameless,

26to the pure you show yourself pure,

but to the devious you show yourself shrewd.

So what?  Whats the point?

We view and interpret the Scripture according to our knowledge of God.  When our Lord says something two different sons who know Him differently interpret the same statement in two entirely different ways, thus the gaping divisions in Christianity today.  Specifically this is being written regarding:

Luke 21:36 Be always on the watch, and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen, and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man."


Some people have little or no faith, some have alot.  Some people have experience with miracles from the Lord some do not.  Some people's testimony is one of repeated deliverance and answered prayer, others say "God does not answer my prayers" and this is all from Christians!!

This is not a beat down, this is explanatory.  How we know/view our God shapes how we know/view His Word.  He IS The Word.....

The Lord told me to write this so I am writing it.  This is a critical issue as we see here:

Matt 7:21Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’ 23Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you workers of lawlessness.’

Gal 4:9 But now that you know God, or rather are known by God, how is it that you are turning back to those weak and worthless principles? Do you wish to be enslaved by them all over again?


We must, I repeat MUST be a people that knows their God and are known by God.  There are many many promises in the Word that will determine everything for those on the face of the earth today.  There are promises of great deliverance and great judgement.  What we believe matters.  We are saved by grace through faith.  Without faith, without belief do we still get the grace?  Thats not what my Bible says.  By grace THROUGH FAITH.  Do a Bible search for how many times "through faith" is used to get an education on the issue.

This brings us back to:

Luke 21:36 Be always on the watch, and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen, and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man."


Will those who do not believe there will be an escape from all, participate in the escape from all?  We are about to find out.

All of the Israelites left Egypt but most them died in the wilderness.  Only a few entered the promised land.  Why?  Unbelief:

Heb3:12See to it, brothers, that none of you has a wicked heart of unbelief that turns away from the living God. 13But exhort one another daily, as long as it is called today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness.

14We have come to share in Christ if we hold firmly to the end the assurance we had at first. 15As it has been said:

“Today, if you hear His voice,

do not harden your hearts,

as you did in the rebellion.”d

16Who were the ones who heard and rebelled? Were they not all those Moses led out of Egypt? 17And with whom was He angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness? 18And to whom did He swear that they would never enter His rest? Was it not to those who disobeyed? 19So we see that it was because of their unbelief that they were unable to enter.

Yea, what we believe matters.  The Lord does not take unbelief lightly, what does He say about it?  Unbelief is wicked.  

This brings us further along on our journey.  There are about to be some doors opened in heaven.  What are doors used for?  For people, specifically believers to enter.

Rev 3:8I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door, which no one can shut. For you have only a little strength, yet you have kept My word and have not denied My name. 9Look at those who belong to the synagogue of Satan, who claim to be Jews but are liars instead. I will make them come and bow down at your feet, and they will know that I love you.

Rev 4:1 After this I looked and saw a door standing open in heaven.

Matt 25:1At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. 2Five of them were foolish, and five were wise. 3The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take along any extra oil. 4But the wise ones took oil in flasks along with their lamps. 5When the bridegroom was delayed, they all became drowsy and fell asleep.

6At midnight the cry went out: ‘Here is the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’

7Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps. 8The foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.’

9‘No,’ said the wise ones, ‘or there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.’

10But while they were on their way to buy it, the bridegroom arrived. Those who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet, and the door was shut.

11Later, the other virgins arrived and said ‘Lord, Lord, open the door for us!’

12But he replied, ‘Truly I tell you, I do not know you.’

13Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.a
 

Unbelief comes at a price.  We must know our God which is another way of saying we must know the Word.  They are one and the same but they are not quite the same.  Satan knows the Bible/The Word but he does not "know the Lord."  You get the idea...  It would be a devastating loss to find out one day that the door in heaven was shut and a person did not make it in because they did not believe the promises.  They do not believe the promises because they do not know their God.

The Last Blood Moon, Trouble For Israel

We have covered in previous posts how the middle east has been destabilized and is now filling up with armies (most notably/recently Russia).  Also the dear leader of the United States Obama cut a deal with Iran to allow them (in effect) to develop a nuclear weapon.  What we have not covered is this:  the Islamic invasion of Europe already has Europe burning, it is already taxing their distressed economy but what else is coming?  Mass persecution of European Jews...

Is it a coincidence that the last blood moon stood as a witness over the Muslim/Islamic invasion of Europe?  The guaranteed result of an Islamic invasion of an already anti-Semitic Europe is to make Europe openly hostile to Jews across the continent.  History is repeating itself but also increasing itself by orders of magnitude.  What do I mean?  Hitler was an anti-Christ figure but he was not the anti-Christ.  What is happening in Europe and the rest of the world today is setting the stage for the anti-Christ.

It has been said here numerous times, this time it is different and numerous examples have been given to illustrate why, heres another example.  Back in the 1940's Christians saw what was happening in Europe with Hitler and thought it was the end of days.  There were many aspects of what was happening that would lend to that thinking but there was one absolutely critical ingredient missing.  What was that critical ingredient?  The nation of Israel...How are you going to have an abomination events in a rebuilt temple when there is no Jewish state and no control over Jerusalem?  That problem has been rectified.

The presence of that little Jewish sliver of land  in the middle east changes everything.  Israel is present in the middle east today.  Jerusalem is under Israeli control today.  Mark of the beast technology is ready to go within 3.5 years from today, this world's people have rejected Christ and are ready spiritually mentally and socially for the man of sin to arrive.  They are ready and they will embrace him as the greatest thing since sliced bread.  Yes, this time it is different.

The end times on this earth center on Israel.  The nations of the west have been the strongholds of Christianity, but what is happening to them?  The home of the protestant reformation (and revival) was Germany.  Germany is now ground zero for Islamic invasion.  Why?  From revival to apostasy has been Germany's (and the entire western worlds) trajectory.  The west if being invaded by Islam.   No need to blame the politicians for this one, this is the hand of the Lord our God:

1 Peter 4:17 For it is time for judgment to begin with God's household; and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who do not obey the gospel of God?


There is a massive tectonic shift in power underway in this world and most people are oblivious.  In the not too distant future the time of Jacob's trouble will begin with all of its accompanying judgements from the book of Revelation and the news media along with all of the blind and deceived will be ready to explain it all away with such nonsense as "CERN did it" or flaming mountains fall into the sea and wipe out a third of the fish and a third of the ships all the time, nothing to see here!"

Rev 8:8The second angel sounded his trumpet, and something like a huge mountain, all ablaze, was thrown into the sea. A third of the sea turned into blood, 9a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.

The last blood moon and all the other events of this September are complete now and look where this world stands.  Look at what is going on.  Trouble for Israel is here and growing by the hour.

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

Final Blood Moon 9/28/2015

It has finally arrived, the last blood moon in the tetrad.  This is it, a final warning to this world of what is coming.  We are all aware that everything and the kitchen sink has formed a nexus in the month of September and this last blood moon is the bookend on all of it.  The first blood moon was on Passover (first feast), the last blood moon is on Sukkot (the last feast).  These feasts are book ends on the entirety of prophesy.  What is the Lord trying to tell us with these blood moons on feast days?  It points directly to 1.  Him and 2. to Israel.  It points (in short) to unfinished business that will now be finished.  What kind of unfinished business?  This kind:

Daniel 9:24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.


The blood moons point directly to this ^^.  This last blood moon on Sukkot places a bookend on finishing, the end:

to finish...................... the transgression
to make an end............ of sins
to make reconciliation......... for iniquity
to bring in....................... everlasting righteousness
to seal up.......................... the vision and prophecy
 
and finally:  to anoint the most Holy

What is this showing us?  It is time to settle accounts.  It is time to finish, to make an end, to reconcile and seal up.  This is it.  We have had years worth of forewarning and the stage is now set.  What makes this time different?  Blood moons are signs in the heavens that cannot be faked or debunked or otherwise altered by man.  Add to that the Lord's Shemitah and Jubilee cycles right on top of the final blood moon and you have a trifecta that tell us it is time.

Europe is burning, the middle east is full of armies (growing in number every day), the world economy has been punched in the face and is still reeling from the initial 9 Trillion dollar blow is just received.  People the world over are sick and tired of their robber baron corrupt thieving politicians, they are looking for a 'savior' (but they do not want Jesus Christ).  The Islamic hordes have been forced down this worlds throat receiving favored and even untouchable status in the west and the response by the people of the west has been so silent you could hear a pin drop.

What does all this ^^ add up to?  Biblical judgement, right here, right now.  This is not something that is coming, it is something that is here right now.  This last blood moon takes place in the midst of everything you have read above.  It is the final blood moon of the tetrad, the bookend on the end.  It is a finishing touch on warnings that have spanned the course of years.

This end time centers on Israel but the Church is still here, so what of the Church?  Has the Lord issued us new commands?  No.  What has the Lord told us to do?  The commands from last year and the decade and century before are the same commands to us now.  What are these commands?  Too many to list them all here but in short we are to find absolute center in Christ.  Keep a broken and repentant heart that responds to the slightest whisper from our Lord.  Pray, rejoice, give thanks, praise Him.

John 16:12I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. 13Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. 14He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. 15All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

In Christ, the Spirit will lead you into all truth (which includes all of the commands He has given us).  Simple enough.  Keep the faith and do what we are told to do, thats really it: faith and obedience.

Everything our Lord said would happen is happening or in the process of beginning to happen.  It is both frightening and exciting at the same time.  It is our Lord who is at work in this world and He is very busy.  It should encourage all believers that our Lords hand has become so obvious in this world.  There can be no denying it (yet the world will try).

We have arrived at a time where fooling around and half efforts must be a thing of the past.  This is deadly serious, life or death (physically and spiritually) hangs in the balance.  The seriousness of world events reflects the seriousness of our Lord, play time is over.

Give thanks to the Lord and praise Him in fear.  He truly is an awesome and terrible God.

Nehemiah 1:5 

... And said, I beseech thee, O LORD God of heaven, the great and terrible God, that keepeth covenant and mercy for them that love him and observe his commandments ...

Nehemiah 9:32

... Now therefore, our God, the great, the mighty, and the terrible God, who keepest covenant and mercy, let not all the trouble seem little before thee, that hath ...

Deuteronomy 7:21

... You shall not be frightened by them: for the LORD your God is among you, a mighty God and terrible. ...

Deuteronomy 10:17 

... Because the Lord your God he is the God of gods, and the Lord of lords, a great
God and mighty and terrible, a who accepteth no person nor taketh bribes. ...

Psalm 66:5 

... Come and see the works of God: he is terrible in his doing toward the children of men. ...

Deuteronomy 10:21 

... He is thy praise, and he is thy God, that hath done for thee these
great and terrible things, which thine eyes have seen. ...

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


































 

Welcome To The Jubilee

Whether it was the 23rd or 24th that Yom Kippur actually occurred (due to the sandstorm delaying the sighting of the new moon on Rosh Hashanah) we can be sure we are now in the year of Jubilee.
What does that mean?  The Jubilee year is a year of redemption and liberty...redemption and liberty for some, hell on earth for others.

Lev 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. 11A jubile shall that fiftieth year be unto you: ye shall not sow, neither reap that which groweth of itself in it, nor gather the grapes in it of thy vine undressed. 12For it is the jubile; it shall be holy unto you: ye shall eat the increase thereof out of the field.

Why should we as Christians care about the Jubilee year for Israel?  The entire book of Revelation is centered around Israel and we are watching the unfolding of the prophesies of that book all around us.  How so?

Consider the position this world finds itself in today.  It was just revealed in the past couple days that Deutsche Bank could declare bankruptcy any day now.  That would be the equivalent of a financial weapon of mass destruction going off in Europe.  Between the euro problems, Deutsche Bank problems, immigrant problems, Germany the stalwart fortress/support of Europe is not doing so well these days.

What else do we see?  4 Blood moon tetrad completes its display in the heavens and despite the best attempts of the deniers that the blood moons weren't "red enough" to qualify as blood moons, what is Israel's situation at the end of the tetrad?  Temple mount tensions are escalating by the day.  Russia has just formed a new beachhead in Syria where it is pouring in tanks, troops and aircraft.  The rest of the middle east has been completely destabilized thanks to the "expert" strategies of our dear leader here in the United States.  What is the net result?  Today the middle east is a completely destabilized area of the world full of armies with more weapons, troops and planes arriving every day.

Interest rates are right now at 5,000 year lows.  Yes, you read that correctly, 5,000 year lows.  That by any definition you might want to throw at it is the bubble of all bubbles ready to pop.  The bond market will explode soon, and remember the bond market is much larger than the stock market so when it tanks, it is going to hurt.  Who will it hurt first?  Governments.  The governments of this world are under pressure unlike anything they imagined for themselves.  The people the world over have had it with corrupt, bought off career robber baron politicians.  Thus we have the popularity of trump.  Added to the distaste for today's politicians the economies of the governments these politicians run are collapsing.  Add to this demographic problems, then add to this natural disaster problems, then add to this societal tension (divided along every line imaginable, me first mentality) and what you have is a powder keg.

So what?  So, about now people are looking for a savior.......

2 Thess 2:7For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. 8And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: 9Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Is this world ready for the man of sin with his accompanying power, signs and lying wonders?  You bet they are.  They rejected the truth (The Lord Jesus Christ/The Word) so they will get a lie and they will love it to their undoing.

Massive changes are coming.  We have discussed some of the changes on the horizon but consider this one as well.  This world is having a love affair with Islam.  The Muslim can do no wrong anywhere it seems.  They are a preffered people untouchable by the governments of the west where they are quickly establishing bases of power to work out their own agenda (this too is the hand of our Lord working out judgement).  So?  Where does the massive change come in?  In a world gone crazy for Islam, Israel will get her temple back.  Everyone who has said there will be no rebuilt temple has been proven to be false.  My word is worth nothing, what does the Word say?

Mark 13:14“When you see the abomination that causes desolation^a standing where it^b does not belong—let the reader understand—then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 15Let no one on the housetop go down or enter the house to take anything out. 16Let no one in the field go back to get their cloak. 17How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! 18Pray that this will not take place in winter, 19because those will be days of distress unequaled from the beginning, when God created the world, until now—and never to be equaled again.

Daniel 11:31 And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that makes desolate.


Notice the Words "when you see."  Obviously the Lord is telling people to look for something they can see.  It also mentions Judea, not the rest of the world, not the United States, not Canada, not Germany JUDEA where people are supposed to take a very specific action: flee to the mountains.  The daily sacrifice is to be taken away, that means the daily sacrifice must be started again IN JUDEA.

The people who have tried to spiritualize this to make it say whatever they wanted it to say have been proven wrong again and again and again.

There will be a rebuilt temple, PERIOD.  That is what the Word of God says at face value without twisting it, turning it, or spiritualizing it, that is what it says.  How will this happen in a world in love with Islam?  Massive changes have to take place first.  Absolutely MASSIVE changes.  What is the biggest catalyst for change we know of?  War.  In 6 days in 1967, Israel transformed the situation in the middle east.  Not 6 years, 6 DAYS.

The year of Jubilee in 1967 gave Jerusalem back to Israel.  This Jubilee year, what will Israel win back?  Watch and see.

Massive changes are upon us and the impression I get from the Spirit is we should not fear.  We should trust, we should hope, we should pray, rejoice, give thanks, praise and worship but we should not fear.  The Lord our God is at work, can you see it?  All glory and honor and power be to our God, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.  May He be forever praise.  AMEN.

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