"And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the
Earth:
blood and fire and pillars of smoke.
The Sun shall be turned into darkness,
and the Moon into blood,
before the coming
great and awesome Day of the Lord,
and it shall come to pass
that whoever calls on the Name of the LORD
shall be saved."
(Joel 2:30-32)
Introduction . . .
As God looks down upon the Earth He
sees the violence. He sees the gross and rampant immorality and how
casually we accept it. He feels the rebellion. He hears
each lie. He hears the blasphemies spoken in earnest and in
jest against His name and the name of His Son, who stepped forth from
Eternity ... "from of old, from everlasting" (Micah 5:2). He knows
what is about to happen. Yet, as He looks upon us, it is with a
heart filled with love and compassion. A heart willing to forgive
and forget. A heart that yearns for His children to come to
repentance (to turn away from their sins) and return to Him. He sent forth His
prophets to reason with and to warn the people. But His prophets
were brutally beaten, imprisoned, and murdered. Then He sent forth
His Son ... not to judge the sinner, but to save the sinner. And
through His Son He extends an offer. An offer to save each of us
from the second death (which the Bible warns is the eternal
darkness, aloneness, and torment of Hell) and to
hide and shelter those who are waiting in faith from the great and
awesome "Day of the Lord" ... the coming Apocalypse. Jesus
(Yeshua) came to show us "the way" into the Kingdom of Heaven. But, as
with Jeremiah, Elijah, Zechariah, Isaiah, and other prophets sent
before Him who were imprisoned, beaten, and killed, the unbelieving political
and religious rulers of the day once again treated a prophet
of God with arrogance, malice, and evil intent. Only this time it was different. Not
just a prophet, but He Himself who stepped forth from
Eternity to place His Spirit into the form of man, as the "son of Man" ...
the "Son of God." This time, a living sacrifice for all of mankind,
once and for all. Willingly and lovingly He took upon Himself the punishment and penalty due
to each of us for our sins. The only burden He asks us to carry is
simply the burden of turning away from our sins and believing
(trusting) in Him to save us (from Hell), while loving Him as He loved us.
We choose our eternal destiny by accepting or rejecting His offer. "The
foolishness of the Cross." We are told He hated it and despised the shame. Yet,
He endured it as He hung there in pain and agony, nailed to that
cross of wood, out of love. His love for you and for me ...
just as
the prophets said He would!
Today He
waits patiently seated on His throne in Heaven. Waiting while
His offer of grace is extended to all peoples and nations on Earth. There
is a day, we are told, when God's patience ("long-suffering") with a
world filled with sin, violence, and arrogant unbelief will end,
and the door of escape will be closed . . .
These
events which are about to be unleashed upon this world, even though
global in nature, will focus on one thing - the nation of
Israel. One tiny piece of land. A speck of land when
compared to the powerful enemies that surround
her on all sides (look at a map). A land God calls His own.
God says He owns it and the sons and daughters of Israel are His . .
.
"I
will bless those who bless you (Israel), and curse those
who curse you"
(Genesis
12:3)
Watch! The situation in Israel and
the Middle East will continue to grow worse and worse, and if you
don't already know ... Armageddon lies in the heart of Israel.
There
is
a crushing weight associated with the words found in the
following section. We are told we live in an age of darkness mixed with
light. Jesus
(Yeshua) calls those who believe in Him and wait in faith,
the "salt of the
Earth." Salt is a preservative. We are told those who
sincerely
believe in Him and wait in faith are filled with "light."
Satan is
also called the "prince of darkness" and the "ruler of this
world." The
world hates the light. The Bible warns the light acts
as a restraining force. Jesus will someday return as a "thief
in the night" to remove the children of light, in a moment, "in the
twinkling of an eye," to protect and shelter them from those things
which are about to come upon a violent, immoral, arrogant, and unbelieving
world. A world in opposition to God. There is the promise of Light
returning after all these things take place. The purpose of
prophecy is to authenticate God’s word and to prepare those who wait
in faith. God takes no delight in these things. It is His hope that
all will change their ways (repent) and return to Him, through His Son, so
that all might escape those things that are about to come
upon the Earth. We are told Noah was a preacher of righteousness and
for 120 years was God’s witness, a trumpet of warning, while he
built the vessel of refuge and escape. There could have been a
billion people living on Earth at the time of Noah. The people were feeling content without
acknowledging God. We are told they were "morally corrupt and filled with
violence." People ignored and disobeyed God’s law and simply
"did that which was right in their own eyes." After 120 years of
patiently waiting and warning, we are told God Himself closed the door to the Ark . . .
Only eight people were saved.
The Day is real and the hour is set . . .
"When I heard,
my belly trembled,
my lips
quivered at the voice ...
rottenness
entered into my bones,
and I
trembled in myself,
that I
might rest (be hidden or escape)
in the
"Day of Trouble"...
( the coming "Apocalypse")
(Habakkuk 3:16)
Jesus Christ (Yeshua Ha'Mashiach in Hebrew)
warns never in the history of Mankind
has there ever been anything as terrible and deadly as the coming
"Apocalypse"...
"For there will be Great Tribulation
such has not been
since the beginning of the world until this time
no, nor ever shall be.
And UNLESS those days were shortened
no flesh (living
thing on Earth)
would be saved"
(Matthew 24:21-22)
Remember, the Bible says Jesus Christ (Yeshua Ha'Mashiach in Hebrew) will return twice . . .
First, "As a thief in the night" -
For those who waited in faith ... to save them from the
"Apocalypse"
Second, "Every eye shall see"
- With those who waited in faith ... at the end of
the "Apocalypse"
In the book of
Daniel and in the book of Revelation we are told at least seven (7) years will
separate these two events, during which all the prophecies of the coming
Apocalypse will be fulfilled ...
After
the "Rapture" the door will be closed ... and all the prophecies of the
"Great Tribulation" (the "Apocalypse") will be fulfilled. God will one day pour out His wrath on a violent, morally
corrupt, and unbelieving generation that has turned against Him and His
Word, Jesus (Yeshua) the Messiah, thus losing their ONLY hope . . .
"I (the Lord) have held my peace a long time,
I have been still and restrained myself.
Now I will cry like a woman in labor . . .
I will lay waste to the mountains and hills"
(Isaiah 42:14-15)
"I will punish the world for its evil,
and the wicked for their iniquity ...
I will halt the arrogance of the proud."
(Isaiah 13:11)
Nobody will
escape God's wrath after the Rapture.
The Coming "Apocalypse" . . .
"Thus says the LORD of hosts:
Behold, disaster shall go forth from nation to nation ...
And at that day the slain of the LORD
shall be from one end of the Earth
even to the other end of the Earth . . ."
(Jeremiah 25:27-38)
America will be "neutralized". . . Israel
must stand alone - with God
(The U.S. will one day
be unable or unwilling to defend Israel ... Israel must
stand alone ... with God.)
Around the time of the "Apocalypse" ALL nations will turn
against Israel . . .
"Behold, the Day of the LORD is coming,
(the coming "Apocalypse")
And your spoil will be divided in your
midst.
For I (God) will gather ALL the
nations to battle
against Jerusalem"
(Zechariah 14:1-2)
"For behold,
in those days and at that time,
When I (God) bring back the captives of Judah
and Jerusalem, (sometime after 1948)
I will also gather ALL
nations,
And bring them down to the Valley of
Jehoshaphat; (just outside Jerusalem)
And I will enter into judgment with them
there
On account of My people, My
heritage ISRAEL,
Whom they have scattered among the
nations;
They have also DIVIDED up
My
Land." (Israel)
(Joel 3:1-2)
The coming Antichrist will rise and conquer . . .
"Now I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals;
and I heard one of the four living creatures
saying with a voice like thunder, ‘Come and see.’
And I looked, and behold, a white horse.
And he who sat on it had a bow;
and a crown was given to him,
and he went out conquering and to conquer."
(Revelation 6:1-2)
The Antichrist will be Satan’s counterfeit
Messiah.
A Great War will ignite the world . . .
"When He opened the second seal,
I heard the second living creature saying,
‘Come and see.’
Another horse, fiery red, went out.
And it was granted to the one who sat on it
to take peace from the Earth,
and that people should kill one another;
and there was given to him a great sword."
(Revelation 6:3-4)
The weapons will be used . . . cities and nations will
disappear.
Global famine, severe food shortages will soon
follow . . .
"When He opened the third seal,
I heard the third living creature say,
‘Come and see.’
So I looked, and behold, a black horse,
and he who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand.
And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying,
"A quart
of wheat for a denarius,
(A denarius was equal to about a full day’s wage)
and three quarts of barley for a denarius;
and do not harm the oil and the wine."
(The rulers will still have their luxuries)
(Revelation 6:5-6)
One-fourth of all
people will be quickly destroyed at the start . . .
"When He opened the fourth seal,
I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying,
‘Come and see.’
And I looked, and behold, a pale horse.
And the name of him who sat on it was Death,
and Hades followed with him.
And power was given to them over a fourth of the Earth,
to kill with sword, with hunger, with death,
and by the beasts of the Earth." (These "beasts" may be
military, political, and religious rulers.)
(Revelation 6:7-8)
The Earth will convulse under a massive asteroid
or nuclear missile strike . . .
It is interesting to
note that those nations which are now armed with large arsenals of nuclear
weapons have already built and are continuing to build massive "emergency
command centers" into and under mountains to hide their leaders in case of all
out nuclear war.
"And the stars of heaven fell to the Earth,
as a fig tree drops its late figs
when it is shaken by a mighty wind.
Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up,
and every mountain and island was moved out of its place
And the kings of the Earth, the great men, the rich men,
the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man,
hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains"
(Revelation 6:13-15)
One-third of all trees on Earth will
burn . . .
After the
nuclear bomb tests in the Pacific, the Navy discovered much of the
massive damage to the target fleet was caused by giant hail stones
which were generated by the nuclear blasts. If the nuclear blasts
had been over a large city, much blood would have been drawn up into
the cloud and mingled with the hail . . .
"The first angel sounded:
And hail and fire followed, mingled with blood,
and they were thrown to the Earth.
And a third of the trees were burned up,
and all green grass was burned up."
(Revelation 8:7)
One-third of all sea-life will be destroyed by
nuclear missiles or large asteroid . . .
"Then the second angel sounded:
And something like a great mountain burning with fire
was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea became blood.
And a third of the living creatures in the sea died,
and a third of the ships were destroyed."
(Revelation 8:8-9)
One-third of all fresh water will be poisoned
by a massive nuclear warhead or an asteroid strike
. . .
In old Russian Bibles the word
"Wormwood" was translated 'Chernobyl'!
"Then the third angel sounded:
And a great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch,
and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water;
And the name of the star is Wormwood (bitter).
a third of the waters became wormwood,
and many men died from the water, because it was made bitter."
(Revelation 8:10-11)
Nuclear winter?
One-third of the light from the sun/moon/stars will be
blocked by smoke
and ash covering the Earth . . .
"Then the fourth angel sounded:
And a third of the sun was struck,
a third of the moon, and a third of the stars,
so that a third of them were darkened;
And a third of the day did not shine,
and likewise the night.
And I looked, and I heard an angel
flying through the midst of heaven,
saying with a loud voice,
"Woe, woe, woe to the inhabitants of the Earth,
because of the remaining blasts of the trumpet
of the three angels who are about to sound!"
(Revelation 8:12-13)
Then, another one-third of the remaining
population on Earth
will be quickly destroyed . . .
The Bible tells us
only a small remnant of the population on Earth will survive the Apocalypse.
Although, here, we find angels being released, much of the global terror will
come from mankind destroying mankind, nation destroying nation,
deadly wave after deadly wave. The Holy Spirit goes out of his way to let us
know that the day and the hour is real and has already been set. Remember,
our future is already history . . .
"Then the sixth angel sounded: And I heard a voice
from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,
saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet,
"Release the four angels who are bound
at the great river Euphrates."
So the four angels, who had been prepared
for the hour and day and month and year,
were released to kill a third of mankind."
(Revelation 9:13-15)
A "200,000,000" man army will
rise and unleash their weapons of mass destruction killing one-third of
the remaining world population . . .
This
prophecy says the "army of the horsemen was two hundred
million." These "horsemen" may be a small division or group within
that army, such as a strategic nuclear weapons division, or they may
be brightly painted missiles sitting upon missile launchers. The
"two hundred million" is to help identify the nation or area they
will rise out of. Later called "the kings of the East," it appears
the Chinese military is someday going to use the secret
missile and weapons technologies Clinton-Gore secretly gave (and sold) them -
against us! One-third of all mankind left on
Earth will be killed . .
.
"Now the number of the army of the horsemen
was two hundred million;
(For the first time ever such an army could be raised in China)
I heard the number of them.
And thus I saw the horses in the vision:
those who sat on them had breastplates of fiery red,
hyacinth blue, and sulfur yellow; and the heads of the horses
were like the heads of lions; and out of their mouths came fire,
smoke, and brimstone (sulfur, or a kind of poisoned air)
By these three plagues a third of mankind was killed
by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone
which came out of their mouths.
For their power is in their mouth and in their tails;
for their tails are like serpents, having heads;
and with them they do harm."
(Revelation 9:16-19)
Every living
creature remaining in the sea will die . . .
"Then the second angel poured out his bowl on the sea,
and it became blood as of a dead man;
and every living creature in the sea died."
(Revelation 16:3)
All rivers and springs will turn to
blood . . .
And God tells us why they will turn to blood.
"Then the third angel poured out his bowl
on the rivers and springs of water, and they became blood.
And I heard the angel of the waters saying:
"You are righteous, O Lord,
the One who is and who was and who is to be,
because You have judged these things.
For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets,
and You have given them blood to drink.
For it is their just due."
(Revelation 16:4-7)
The Bible warns of
great atmospheric and weather upheaval during the coming
"Apocalypse" ... both global cooling and global warming lie ahead
for mankind (men and women) ... all those who are left
on Earth after the coming "Rapture" ...
There will be a great plague of snow
and hail coming upon the Earth ...
"Have you
entered the treasury of snow,
Or have you seen the treasury of hail,
Which I (God) have reserved for the time of trouble,
For the Day of battle and war?" (the coming
"Apocalypse")
(Job 38:22-23)
"And great
hail from heaven fell upon men,
("Mankind"..
men and women)
each hailstone about the weight of a talent.
(A "talent" = 85 - 114
pounds!!)
Men
blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail,
since that plague was exceedingly great."
(Revelation 16:21)
And, there will be a great heat from
the Sun which will scorch the people on Earth ...
The people left on Earth will continue to hate and curse God.
"Then the
fourth angel poured out his bowl on the Sun,
and
power was given to him to scorch men with fire.
And men (mankind ... men and women)
were scorched with great heat,
and they blasphemed the Name of God
who has power over these plagues;
and
they did not repent and give Him glory."
(Revelation 16:8-9)
And, there will be unimaginable and
exceedingly great storms and hurricanes ...
"And there will
be signs in the Sun, in the Moon, and in the Stars;
and
on the Earth distress of nations, with perplexity,
the
sea and the waves roaring"
(Luke 21:25)
The "Mark of the
Beast" . . .
"He (the
coming Antichrist) causes all,
both small
and great, rich and poor, free and slave,
to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads,
and that no one may buy or sell
except one who has the mark,
or the name of the
Beast,
or the
number of his name."
(Revelation 13:16-17)
This prophecy is very
crucial for those who have not accepted Jesus Christ (Yeshua Ha'Mashiach in
Hebrew) as their Lord and will be
alive when this law is enacted and enforced. This "mark" may be some kind
of tattoo, or implanted microchip with all of your credit card and banking
information, we really don’t know right now. It will not be easy to
refuse this mark, whatever it is, for many of you will have families and
children that will need to be fed. But, please be warned . . . by taking
this mark, you will have sealed your eternal fate in Hell. In
God’s eyes it identifies you with the Antichrist. There will be no
turning back for any who take the "mark, the name of the Beast, or the
number of his name." The utter darkness, loneliness, and torments of Hell will be their
fate. Blessings are promised in Heaven to all those who refuse to take the "mark"
and refuse to bow down to this coming world leader . . . and die in their
faith for doing so. The Lord will take the sting out of death.
A "thick darkness" will then cover all
the Earth and people will "gnaw their
tongues" in pain . . .
People on Earth will gnaw
their tongues in pain and agony and will continue to curse God . . .
"Then the fifth angel poured out his bowl
on the throne of the Beast, (the Antichrist)
and his kingdom became full of darkness;
and they gnawed their tongues because of the pain.
They blasphemed the God of heaven
because of their pains and their sores,
and did not repent of their deeds."
(Revelation 16:10-11) (This plague will come upon all
who will take the "mark of the Beast")
Millions more who come to the Lord will be
executed.
Blessings
in Heaven are promised to them . . .
God will take the sting
out of death for the millions who will die in faith, and wants them
to know they will be blessed in Heaven . . .
Then I heard a voice from Heaven saying to me,
"Write: ‘Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.’"
"Yes," says the Spirit, "that they may rest from their labors,
and their works follow them."
(Revelation 14:13)
"Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded
for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God,
who had not worshiped the Beast (see "the Antichrist")
or his image, and had not received his mark
on their foreheads or on their hands."
(Revelation 20:4)
There are
millions of Christians today in China, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Sudan,
Indonesia, Algeria, Egypt, India, and around the world, including
women and children, who are being imprisoned, murdered, tortured,
raped, beaten, kidnapped, beheaded, burned alive, and sold into
slavery simply for their faith in Jesus Christ, while we, our
churches, the leaders of our nation, and the news networks simply
watch and do nothing . . .
"I saw
under the altar the souls of those who had been slain
for the Word of God and for the testimony which they held.
And they cried with a loud voice, saying,
"How long, O Lord, holy and true,
until You judge and avenge our blood
on those who dwell on the Earth?"
Then a white robe was given to each of them;
and it was said to them that they should rest a little while longer,
until both the number of their fellow servants and their brethren,
who would be killed as they were, was completed."
(Revelation 6:9-11)
"Now brother will betray brother to death,
and a father his child;
and children will rise up against parents
and cause them to be put to death.
"And
you will be hated by all men for My Name's (Jesus’) sake.
But he who endures to the end shall be saved."
(Mark 13:12-13)
The Battle of Armageddon . . .
"Then the sixth angel poured out his bowl
on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up,
so that the way of the kings from the East (China and allies)
might be prepared.
And I saw three unclean spirits like
frogs
coming out of the mouth of the Dragon,
(Satan)
out of the mouth of the Beast, (the
Antichrist)
and out of the mouth of the False
Prophet. (a Religious Ruler ... Revelation 13:11-12)
For they are spirits of demons,
performing signs, (miracles will be
performed at this time)
which go out to the kings of the Earth
and of THE WHOLE WORLD,
to gather them to the battle of that
great Day of God Almighty.
"Behold, I am coming as a thief.
(the coming "Rapture")
Blessed is he who watches,
and keeps his garments,
lest he walk naked and they see his
shame."
And they gathered them together
(all the armies of the nations)
to the place called in Hebrew,
ARMAGEDDON."
(Revelation 16:13-16)
The weapons will be used. Much of the world will
be destroyed. Cities will disappear. Armageddon means the "Hill of
Megiddo." Megiddo is part of the Plain of Esdraelon which is located in
central Israel. Napoleon came through there and declared it to be the finest
battlefield in the world. The whole world will be drawn into this war over
Israel and Jerusalem. No nation will be spared. The Bible warns
there will be several deadly waves associated with this conflict,
including: An attack from the "south," an attack from the "north," a
massive Chinese led invasion of the Middle East from the "east", which will then
be "joined" as the armies of the Antichrist march out of Europe and around the
world to the place called "Armageddon." Jesus will return to engage this
final battle Himself. He alone will destroy the enemies of Israel.
We don’t know the time between these wars/battles/events. We
do know that God has set aside seven years to complete His plan with
Israel, and this Age.
From the apparent absence of America in prophecy, the U.S.
will be "neutralized" sometime before this Middle-East conflict
begins.
The United States will be unwilling or unable to
defend Israel against her enemies. For the Bible warns
Israel must stand alone . . . with God!
The prophet Joel writes:
"Blow the trumpet in Zion
(Israel),
and sound an alarm in My holy mountain!
Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble;
for the Day of the LORD is coming, for it is at hand:
A day of darkness and gloominess,
a day of clouds and thick darkness,
like the morning clouds spread over the mountains.
A people come, great and strong
(the armies of the Antichrist),
the like of whom has never been;
nor will there ever be any such after them,
even for many successive generations.
(This final Battle may build sometime after
the Russia-Iran invasion of Israel)
A fire devours before them, and behind them a flame burns . . .
Every one marches in his own column.
(A disciplined army)
Though they lunge between the weapons, they are not cut down.
They run to and fro in the city, they run on the wall;
they climb into the houses, they enter at the windows like a thief.
The Earth quakes before them,
(Tank battalions?)
the heavens tremble;
(Helicopters, bombers, and jet fighters?)
The sun and moon grow dark,
and the stars diminish their
brightness." (Smoke will fill the air)
(Joel 2:1-10)
The prophet
Zechariah writes:
"For I (God) will gather ALL nations against Jerusalem.
The city (Jerusalem) shall be taken,
the houses rifled,
and the women ravished (brutally raped).
Half of the city shall go into captivity,
but the remnant of the people
shall not be cut off from the city."
(Zechariah 14:2)
The prophet Jeremiah writes:
"Thus
says the LORD of hosts:
‘Behold, disaster shall go forth from nation to nation,
and a great whirlwind shall be raised up
from the farthest parts of the Earth.
And at that day the slain of the LORD
shall be from one end of the Earth
even to the other end of the Earth.
They shall not be lamented, or gathered, or buried;
they shall become refuse on the ground.
Wail, shepherds, and cry! (Jewish leaders)
Roll about in the ashes, you leaders of the flock! (Israel)
For the days of your slaughter
and your dispersions are fulfilled;
you shall fall like a precious vessel.
And the shepherds will have no way to flee,
nor the leaders of the flock to escape.
A voice of the cry of the shepherds,
and a wailing of the leaders to the flock will be heard.
For the LORD has plundered their pasture,
And the peaceful dwellings are cut down
because of the fierce anger of the LORD.
He has left His lair like the lion; for their land is desolate
because of the fierceness of the Oppressor,
and because of His (God’s) fierce anger.’"
(Jeremiah 25:15-17, 27-38)
At that time, the Messiah (Jesus Christ) will
return to save "His brethren," the remnant of Israel . . .
"Now I saw heaven
opened, and behold, a white horse.
And He who sat on
him was called Faithful and True,
and in
righteousness He (Jesus Christ) judges and makes war.
His eyes were like a flame of fire,
and on His head were many crowns.
He had a name
written that no one knew except Himself.
He was clothed
with a robe dipped in blood,
and His Name is
called The Word of God. . .
Now out of His
mouth goes a sharp sword,
that with it He should strike the nations.
And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron.
He Himself treads
the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
And He has on His
robe and on His thigh a name written ...
KING OF KINGS AND
LORD OF LORDS."
(Revelation
19:11-16)
Don't miss
the significance here ... this is Jesus who will save the children of
Israel and destroy her enemies. When you study this awesome prophecy
describing the final return of Jesus Christ (Yeshua Ha'Mashiach in Hebrew) and the many
other prophecies describing this same event . . . Jesus (Yeshua), the
Messiah, is returning to save Israel from the nations and
armies of this world who will accuse her of "unjustly occupying" the Land.
According to the Bible, the "right side" is "Israel's side" in this
coming battle. Believing Christians should never turn against
Israel. However, there are many Christian churches and denominations
who have accepted the "Roman" doctrine that the Church has replaced Israel
in God’s plan. This doctrine is not found in the Bible ... and it is dead wrong!!! The Church (drawn from both
Jews and Gentiles) and nation Israel have two separate prophetic
destinies. For the Church, (both Jews and non-Jews who believe in and
receive Jesus as Messiah and Savior before the Rapture), Jesus
returns as the "Bridegroom" to shelter and protect us from the wrath
which will soon pour out upon mankind, and then (later), for the Jews of
Israel who have gone through the Great Tribulation (those who will then
recognize Him as their promised "Messiah"), He will return as the promised
King, the son of David, (above all on Earth). Sadly, for
some (yet unknown) reason the U.S. will not be there for Israel in
that Day. Israel must stand alone. Her only hope is in God, Jesus (Yeshua), the Messiah . . .
God leaves us with an ominous warning
. . .
"Search from the book of the LORD, and read:
not one of these (prophecies) shall fail;
not one shall lack her mate.
For My mouth has commanded it,
and His Spirit has gathered them."
(Isaiah 34:16)
"Indeed I have spoken it;
I will also bring it to pass.
I have purposed it;
I will also do it.
Listen to Me, you stubborn-hearted,
who are far from righteousness . . ."
(Isaiah 46:11-12)
"And unless those days were shortened,
no flesh [people on Earth] would be saved;"
(Matthew 24:22)
How long
will the coming 'Apocalypse' last?
The coming
Apocalypse will last exactly 7 years (360 day years) ... which includes
exactly 3½ years
(1,260 days) of
false peace in Israel starting the day a coming "peace plan" will be
enforced upon nation Israel by the coming Antichrist ... and then exactly 3½
years (1,260 days) of unspeakable global terror and destruction starting the
day the coming Antichrist will stand in a new Jewish Temple in Jerusalem and
demand to be worshiped "as God." As noted, the coming "Apocalypse"
(the "Great Tribulation") will be the irreversible result of a
'Peace Plan' which will one-day be enforced upon the nation and people of
Israel by a very popular coming world leader, a false "man of
peace"... a counterfeit "Messiah"...
the coming "Antichrist"... "the Prince (Ruler) who is to
come" (Daniel 9:26-27).
As the Day
of the Lord draws near ... what does God expect of us?
"But the Day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night,
in which the heavens will pass away with a great
noise,
and the elements will melt with fervent heat;
both the Earth and the works that are in it will
be burned up.
Therefore, since all these things will be
dissolved,
what manner of persons ought you to be in holy
conduct and godliness,
looking for and hastening the coming of the Day of
God,
because of which the heavens will be dissolved, being
on fire,
and the elements will melt with fervent heat?
Nevertheless we, according to His promise,
look for new heavens and a new Earth in
which righteousness dwells.
Therefore, beloved, looking forward to these
things,
be diligent to be found by Him in peace, without
spot, and blameless"
(2 Peter 3:10-14)
God will
provide hope and shelter to all those who will heed His warnings before it
is too late . . .
"Watch
therefore,
and pray always
that you may be counted worthy to escape
all these things that will come to pass . . ."
(through Jesus Christ's worthiness ... not ours)
(Luke 21:36)
"Before
the decree is issued,
before the day passes like chaff,
before the LORD'S fierce anger comes upon you,
before the day of the LORD'S anger comes upon you!
Seek the LORD, all you meek of the Earth, who have upheld His justice.
Seek righteousness,
seek humility.
It may be that you will be hidden
in the day of the LORD'S anger."
(Zephaniah 2:2-3)
Have a hard time
believing in God? The above verses are
clear . . .
Why? God is
warning us ...
God's Promise ...
"For God so loved
the world
that He GAVE
His only begotten Son, (see Psalm 2 ...)
that whoever
BELIEVES in Him (to trust in Jesus alone to save us from our sins and
Hell)
should NOT
perish (in Hell)
but have
everlasting life (in Heaven).
For God did not
send His Son into the world to condemn the world,
but that the world
through Him might be saved (into Heaven).
He who
believes in Him is NOT condemned (to Hell);
but he who does
NOT believe (in Jesus Christ)
IS condemned (to Hell) ALREADY"
(There is no second chance for any who reject Jesus.)
(John
3:16-18)
Jesus greatly LOVED us to save us from Hell ... all God asks is we love
Him for all He did for us.
