GOD IS NOT THE AUTHOR OF CONFUSION BUT OF PEACE...SO WHY ARE SO MANY CHRISTIANS "CONFUSED?"

Maybe it's my grief, I don't know, but God isn't the author of confusion but so many of us are extremely confused...especially me!  Who can I listen to?  What songs can I listen to and sing?  What denomination is best?  How can I tell?  So many questions and it depends on who you ask what answer you'll get.  Ask 50 people, you'll get at least 45 different answers but the worst one would be this...it doesn't matter, just listen to who you "like."  Wow!  I like Benny Hinn cos he promises me to heal me (if I give enough money and I'm not too sick - if at all).  I love Joel Osteen's message that God wants me to be younger, healthy (I agree to that to a certain extent but only by living a healthy lifestyle) and very wealthy because living week to week isn't all that much fun.  I love to "feel" happy so Hillsong will make me feel full to overflowing with the Holy Spirit and I may even be able to speak in a language no one understands.  Of course salvation isn't about feelings and emotions but that doesn't sell tickets to concerts or fill seats at mega-churches so that offering plates will be the only thing truly overflowing.  Then, of course Mike Murdock PROMISES me that GOD PROMISES ME if I send him (mike) $1000 plus that I'll be rich beyond belief!  It will literally rain down money in my living room from Heaven.  Kenneth Copeland can control the weather so next time my state is going to get hit by a hurricane I can probably send him some money and he'll just rebuke that storm away!  Why didn't he do that after numerous warnings about Hurricane Katrina?  Explain that to those in New Orleans and other states/cities.  Did they not have enough money or did you cash the check and trash the letters?

The problem is, if Benny Hill...I mean Benny Hinn puts his hands on me, or dares to kick me in the knee, it's not going to end well.  I don't want "my best life now," Joel.  Heaven is going to be so much better than this.  Mike, I can't steal from my debtors and please God by sending you money so you can buy more clothes, houses and cars because He said "Thou shalt not steal."  To the churches that tickle my ears and entertain me with lights and lasers, TSO does that and teaches the RIGHT message of Jesus Christ.  I "feel" something but not what you're selling.  Take a lesson from Dallas Holm.  He preaches the RIGHT Gospel, sings Godly songs that worship God Almighty and not man and his concerts are so NOT expensive. They are free.  Guess he believed Jesus Christ when He said we are freely given so freely give.  

My Bible tells me to test all spirits to see if they are of God.  On the scales of right message and wrong, I weighed you and found you lacking for even  my low standards of righteousness so I can't imagine how much higher God's are.  Don't you know that we are the Temple of the Holy Spirit?  Do we need your songs, music and light shows to "feel" Him? No because we have His infallible, inerrant Word to assure us that we are indwelt with His Holy Spirit and it's not about how we feel but holiness and righteousness whether we be at church, out shopping or sitting at home.   We can't hide from God.

Do you even believe in God?  Really?  Then do you not know that as a leader, God holds you to a higher standard than your flock although they will be found lacking too (the blind leading the blind) if they'd rather have their itching ears tickled than to hear sound doctrine?  If Jesus Himself walked into one of your churches, I wonder if He'd do to you what He did to the moneychangers in the Temple.  You are making merchandise out of us by selling books that compromise His Holy Word to soothe the world's "feelings" and to line your wallets/pocketbooks with filthy money.  Didn't He say "money is the ROOT of ALL evils?"  He also said it's easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to get into the Kingdom of God.  Why then would I DESIRE to be rich with earthly treasures?  Money and pride are your "god."  

Yes, it is very Biblical to call you out by name.  If you don't know that then that tells me everything.  We are to watch over His flock and protect them from wolves.  Without making you stop, how else are we to warn them?  If I keep silent or wish you Godspeed, I am partaking of your sins.  So until you preach the right Gospel as found in First Corinthians 15:1-11, start teaching your "flock" that SIN is a huge issue to God and that it MUST be dealt with.  God does not change with the world nor does He change His mind.  Sin is sin and has no place in the ministry.  Stop urinating on my head and telling me you're baptizing me. Get back to your first love or make Him your first love now in truth and Spirit so you can be set free, along with your flock.

To Christians...stop doubting if someone is saved until they've had a chance to grow in the Word.  I do not know if President Trump was sincere but he made a public announcement that he got born again.  Instead of questioning it, pray for him whether you like him as POTUS or not as he should be considered our brother in Christ.  Presidents will come and go but the Word of God stands forever.  

Another "celebrity" I hear many Christians talk very negatively about and that's Kirk Cameron.  I've listened to what he said 15 years ago and what he is saying now and guess what!  It hasn't changed.  He hasn't compromised the Word to suit the world or for financial gain as I don't ever hear about him getting parts in mainstream Hollywood movies or TV shows.  He's too "offensive."  I don't get my theology from Kirk Cameron or any other man.  I test it by God's Word to see if it lines up with scripture.  While we will never agree on every single thing, we MUST be of one voice and one accord on how one is saved.  It's grace, not works.  Will we do good works?  I sure hope so but it's the fruit of salvation that produces it, not to earn it.  Lastly, what IS "good works" to God?  I doubt it's what we consider good works in our imaginations.  Even unbelievers don't rob banks, murder, etc.  What sets US apart as a peculiar people?  Faith and belief in the death/burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ, being indwelt by the Holy Spirit - a free gift of God at true conversion - and proclaiming the Gospel and feeding His sheep.  I'm sure there's more and some may disagree.  This is just my thoughts and just wondering why IS there so much confusion in the Church today?   One thing...WOLVES.  God bless, feed His sheep and share the Gospel so that others may come to know Him too.  Faith comes by hearing.  Much love to all in Christ Jesus.

PART 1: THE LORD OF THE SCROLL - FELLOWSHIP LOST @ BIBLE.ORG

I have used and shared many articles from Bible.org and find it very useful and helpful every time.  It helps us to answer questions from the Bible that may not have clear verses like "do children go to Heaven" or "what about the mentally challenged."  I even searched if our pets go to Heaven.  Ultimately on the issue of our pets, there's no verse that says one way or another and all I can say for sure is one day we'll find out but (and this is ONLY my personal opinion) is that the Kingdom of God is going to be so different than anything we mere mortals can possibly imagine.  We all wonder and maybe even pray to God to show us.  I've had dreams of Heaven (and hell) and is that what it will be like?  I'll know one day. Everything in my dream was alive in some form and nothing died, not even a flower if you stepped on it.  Even colors sure appeared to be alive (try explaining THAT, LOL) but did God show me a touch or did I just get blessed with an awesome dream.  We tend to dream (or hallucinate) what we are predisposed to believe and the few times I have dreamed of Heaven, it was nothing like I ever imagined.  Neither was the one time I dreamed of hell and if it's anything like my dream, it's not fire but judgment and eternal conscious separation from God.  It's lonely beyond imagination.  My torment was knowing I'd never again feel His love.  THAT was torment beyond endurance and whether it was just a dream or God-given, I wasn't there long.  I woke up immediately and wouldn't sleep for 2 days, if I'm remembering right.  It's not a fate I'd wish on Hitler, much less a friend I'm angry with so NEVER tell anyone to "go to hell."  You don't want that for anyone but the one who caused this mess to begin with.  His fate is sealed.  Sorry, went on a little too long.

I came across this series on Bible.org and while I can't say what he says is 100% infallible because no man is, but he makes incredible sense of God's Word and backs everything up with scripture.  Is he interpreting it right?  I can't say because I am not a Biblical scholar but the bickering about the age of the earth, whether science disproves/proves God's existence, is answered here.  IF you'll read this first well-written, Biblical article and you're gonna see something amazing.  I'll give you a hint.  It has to do with was the earth created in 6 literal days?  Yes...but!  Next, Einstein's theory of relativity that if we were able to break the speed of light that when we left earth and came back, 1000 years would have passed even though it would seem like normal time has passed for you upholds what God says that 1000 years is but a day and a day is like a thousand years.  Some may say you can't mix science and God but what if science PROVES God and that the Bible IS infallible and inerrant but our interpretation of "it is written" may be wrong?  For the record, I'm not a fan of science as a general rule.  However, today many strong scientists who were rabid atheists are now believers not only in an Intelligent Creator but God Almighty and His ETERNAL SON, Christ Jesus.  

I can't dictate your belief system and if you want to remain dogmatic in that the earth is only 6,000 years old and created in 6 literal days, that's fine.  It's not a salvation issue but it could hinder the Gospel.  Why?  Too many people now put their "faith" in the "god of science and man" and unless we show them how that science AND the Bible harmonize completely with what we know today, most are not going to listen.  It's not going to work in today's world.  We are a lost, deceived generation and I fear given over to a reprobate mind.  So I'm not asking you to believe this, just read it (although there's a few things I question) but this world was given to the evil one.  If you read on, Jesus Christ's conception is undeniable and explains WHY He had to be born of a virgin and NOT a man.  Of course the main reason is He is God's Son but why Mary and not some other virgin?  Did God force her to bear His Child? Again, just read and take from it what you will.  Use discernment but have your Bible handy and always be open to the TRUTH, no matter what your preconceived ideas are.  This in no way waters your theology down but rather reinforces them.  There's a lot of secular (not inspired writing and/or not Spiritual in nature but NOT a bad or offensive term) writings and facts we aren't privy to, such as a letter written to Caesar after the crucifixion of Christ where he admits, albeit unwillingly, that he believes Jesus is the Son of God.  We Christians tend to only go by the Bible and we do well but to really help others believe and accept Jesus as their Savior, we may need to change our ways and this in NO WAY waters down the Word of God but upholds it in very clear ways.  God bless and I pray you take the time to read this series.  Don't do it in one sitting though.  Let it sink in, pray about it and test it.  The Gospel and the Bible is written for us today as in every other generation.  Now we have proof.  Click on the link below to read this wonderful series.

NEW VIDEO BY "WRETCHED"

Not sure if it's "new" but new to me, lol.  I did want to quickly share this.  When I do post for the next week, it won't be prettied up and the Plan of Salvation is all over my blog so share it but rather short and simple.  I want to glorify God even or especially in my time of distress.  Rejoice in all circumstances so I'll do it as much as I can.  God bless and love in Messiah Jesus.


UPDATE FOR TUE/WED ON MY STATUS

I just wanted to touch base and let you know today and tonight has been really bad.  Please pray for my husband.  He's taking the death of our fur baby extremely bad and, being a man, it's hard for him to let it out.  He feels he needs to be strong for me but I feel God's presence, comfort and grace and although I have moments (or hours it seems) that I can't stop crying, I am okay.  However, I feel so drained.  I need to take the time to be with him and to heal a bit before I do what I love the most and share the Gospel and fellowship on Google Plus.  He needs me and I need him right now.  After Christ Jesus, my husband is the next on the list I am to love and care for as we are One in Him.  He's my earthly husband and the love of my earthly life.  I miss Coqi and I am not going to get into a theological debate on whether or not our pets go to Heaven.  Does it matter?  Should we be brutally honest on things we aren't even brutally 100% sure of?  What's life or even being a Christian especially without hope?  Be careful what you say to those who lose a beloved pet. To many, that's all they have.  The bond between our pets and us is deep.  In fact, in my opinion, they are a great example of the love of God in their own way.  They love us no matter what we are, who we were or what we look like.  To us, they enhance our lives but to them, we ARE their lives.  Love, loyalty, and acceptance, what more can we ask?  They may be JUST our earthly blessings and, if that's all, it still makes them a precious gift from our Almighty Father in Heaven.  God bless and I don't know what time frame it will be.  I'm going to take it one day at a time for now.  Tomorrow may be a good day, but today was not. Be patient, pray for us and remember that I'm not the only one today suffering and heart-broken.  If you know your neighbor is going through a loss, let them know you are there.  No words help, just love.  God bless and much love in Christ Jesus.



MY BELOVED COQI, MY FUR BABY, PASSED AWAY AN HOUR OR

I doubt I'll share much, if any, for the next few days.  I must have time to grieve, yet I need my friends. Pray for my husband, his heart is broken.  I knew in my heart it was time but he didn't want to accept it. God bless him.  I'm in shock, it hasn't hit me yet and when it does, it will be bad BUT I feel the presence of God.  When I am ready, I'll tell you why I know He healed my dog almost overnight and extended his years.  But now, I'm too sad.  God is good.  No suffering, no pain, just slipped silently away by God's grace.  Much love to you all in Jesus Christ.


These are not my dogs but it could have been.  Kindness to animals and loving our gifts of pets helps us grow closer to Him.  Much love in Christ Jesus.

Just soooo grateful to God that this baby is very much wanted!  Let's pray that they all are from now on!  ALL lives matter to God!



2017 RAPTURE CONFIRMATION BY GOD - VIDEO

I'm sharing this video not so much because I believe it's a true confirmation from God because who knows?  I do see though many regular people, just born again Christians, making videos or blog posts about dreams, signs, etc.  Is this Biblical?  Yes.  I don't know the book/chapter/verse but it does say in the last days He'll pour out His Spirit and young men (and women) will prophecy, some of us will have dreams.  Please let me know if you know where this verse is.  I'm just wondering why people would do this if they were not absolutely convinced about it?  I've asked Him for confirmation and He always does.  I've asked the same question and had a dream not many days after.  I wonder why regular people like us would risk being mocked by friends and family, possibly loss of a job if the employer doesn't like what he does online (that happens so be careful what you post on social media and know the risks) and general persecution.  This is just an example of what I mean so don't take this as any kind of endorsement or belief but...the truth is, it's getting harder and harder to NOT believe something of Him is going on.  Beware though that even satan can transform himself into an angel of light.  I'm not saying this is what's happening but just a general warning in ALL things.  Test ALL spirits by the Word of God.  It is written. God bless and would love to hear if these things are occurring in your life.  


I'm not sure what's going on but something is.  Share the Gospel because time is running out for us, be it the rapture, tribulation or our time to die.  No one is promised a tomorrow.

PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM BY: ABALONEKID


AWAKEN CHURCH! PROPHESY UNFOLDING

THE DISAPPEARANCE OF ISRAEL IN U S A NEWS!!!

Evidence continues to mount that the TOTAL FAILURE to even hear the name "Israel" in USA News demonstrates the effectiveness of Satanic powers controlling the press and the NEWS cycles here.

GOD HAS STATED TO US! HIS ELECT: PRAY FOR ISRAEL. LEARN FROM THEIR HISTORY. GREAT LESSONS AWAIT US UNDERSTANDING ISRAEL & HER MESSIAH/KING: OUR LORD GOD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST.

Isaiah 44:(KJV)

8 Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it? ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any.

9 They that make a graven image are all of them vanity; and their delectable things shall not profit; and they are their own witnesses; they see not, nor know; that they may be ashamed.

Isaiah 43:
But now thus saith the Lord that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.

2 When thou pass through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walk through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.

3 For I am the Lord thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee.

4 Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life.

5 Fear not: for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west;

6 I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of the earth;

7 Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him.

GOD IS MOVING HIS ELECT SAINTS: NOW!!!

MR. PRESIDENT;

VISIT YOU IN THE TRUTHS THAT MAKE ALL SINNERS FREE AND PROVIDE THE "PEACE" AND ONLY REAL "SECURITY" A NATION CAN HAVE WHICH WORSHIPS THE ONLY GOD AND SAVIOR: JESUS CHRIST.

BELOVED;

Israel is the major topic of the Bible. The word “Israel” occurs 2,565 times in 2,293 verses. More than enough prophecies have already been fulfilled in Israel’s unique history to prove that “the God of Israel” (203 times) is the true God. In Zech. 12:2-3, He declares:

Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem. And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.

SOME CHRISTIANS COMPLICIT IN SATANIC PLOT AGAINST ISRAEL

Israel is the major topic of the Bible, occupying most of its pages. The many prophecies concerning its past, present, and future are vital in understanding God’s Word. Sadly, they are ignored, explained away, or simply rejected by the vast majority of professing Christians, a growing number of whom insist that Israel has been replaced by the church.

Current events tells us the Israel is now between a rock and a hard place. Enemies armed by Iran await the call to attack her from all sides. Iran will certainly use her proxies to do her dirty work, whether Israel takes out her nuclear facilities or not. And if Iran gets her "bomb" she has openly vowed to use it against Israel. Much to our amazement, Russia is not the real empowering force for Iran, but the USA is! Israel has already been threatened by order of the American President that if she seeks to attack Iran (by plane) they will be shot down over Iraq! (If Israel flies over Saudi Arabia it may be a safer route unless the USA decides to intercept anyway!

So Israel stands alone again ... UNLESS she conforms to the wishes of America that she give up a part of Jerusalem as one condition of many, so that her enemies can have it as their Arab capital city (until they war for the rest of Jerusalem which they also claim is theirs!

Yet Jeremiah declares that Israel will never “cease from being a nation” (Jer. 31:35-37); in just one sermon Paul refers to Israel as an ongoing entity three times (Acts 13:17, 23, 24); and on the twelve gates of heavenly Jerusalem are written the names of “the twelve tribes of the children of Israel” (Rev. 21:12) along with the names of “the twelve apostles of the Lamb” in the foundations (21:14). Unaware that “replacement theology” is one of several Roman Catholic doctrines that clung to Luther, Calvin, and other leading reformers, it is accepted by many as Reformation theology.

Jesus Christ, the Savior and Redeemer of all who believe on Him, is, of course, the most important subject in Scripture—yet without Israel, there would be no Savior. Jesus is a Jew, descended from Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob through King David, giving Him the right to rule Israel and the world. He was born in Israel, lived there all of His days on earth, and (with few exceptions) ministered solely to Jews: “I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel” (Matt. 15:24). He commanded His disciples, “Go not into the way of the Gentiles...but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel” (Matt. 10:5,6). After the Cross and Resurrection, however, He commanded them to take the gospel “into all the world” (Matt. 28:19; Mk 16:15)—but the gospel remains “to the Jew first, and also to the Greek” (Rom. 1:16).

PROPHETIC REALITY IN OUR TIME

This is an amazing prophecy in Zechariah 12:2-3 ABOVE; not only that Jerusalem, which was then in ruins, would become a burden to the whole world, but that all of Israel’s neighbors would be united against her. They have fought one another in the past. Yet today, for the first time in history, “all the people round about” are united by Islam to destroy Israel.

For more than 50 years, Israel’s neighbors have launched surprise attacks against her and she has proved too strong militarily, even though they outnumber her forty to one. God said, “I [will] make...Judah like an hearth of fire among the wood…and they shall devour all the people round about…” (Zech. 12:6). Soundly defeated every time, her Muslim neighbors feign a desire for peace, hoping to deceive and ultimately destroy her—a strategy established by Muhammad. Any lie is acceptable according to the END to be achieved!

Exactly as foretold, Jerusalem is a burden to all people of the world. More than 60,000 individual votes have been cast in the UN against Israel. This tiny nation with little population as nations go has occupied one-third of the United Nations’ time—a burden indeed!

Skeptics accuse Christians of trying to fit current events to the Bible, claiming that no one recognized such prophecies until Israel was formed in 1948. On the contrary, for centuries most evangelical Christians have preached from the Bible the return of the Jews to their own land. Even John Owen, a leading Calvinist, wrote in the 17th century: “The Jews shall be gathered...into their homeland.” This was also the opinion of the poet John Milton, of John Bunyan, Roger Williams, Oliver Cromwell, and many others.

Martin Luther wrote: “If the Jews are Abraham’s descendants…[they should be] back in their own land [with] a state of their own. But…[they are] scattered and despised.” He therefore wrote off the Jews as God’s chosen people and persecuted them. But today the Jews are back in their own land after 2,500 years of being scattered worldwide, speaking Hebrew just as King David did 3,000 years ago. No other people have returned to reestablish their own nation and language after being cast out of their land for such a long period of time.

Some prophecies applicable only to our day are frightening, foretelling God’s judgment. The language is often graphic:

If I whet my glittering sword, and mine hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to mine enemies...my sword shall devour flesh… (Deut 32:41-42). For, behold, the LORD will come…to render his anger with fury...by his sword...(Isa 66:15,16). And the slain of the LORD shall be at that day from one end of the earth even unto the other…they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried.... (Jer 25:33)

REAL FACTS! THE UNITED STATES IN END TIME PROPHESY (With a"friend like this who needs enemies?")

The question is often asked as to whether the United States is in Bible prophecy. Of course! Scripture declares that EVERY nation in the world will join together to invade Israel in the last days and be destroyed in the battle of Armageddon: “I will gather all nations [surely all includes America] against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken….Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations…” (Zech 12:9; 14:2-4).

FACTS!!

But wouldn’t the United States be spared for being Israel’s friend? In fact, the U.S. State Department has often been against Israel. This was true in the Yom Kippur War. In a sneak attack (October 1973), 80,000 Egyptians overwhelmed 500 Israeli defenders along the Suez and 1,400 Syrian tanks swept down the Golan with only one Israeli tank in service to oppose them. Israel was taken by surprise. Most of her armed forces were on holiday. The initial success of the attackers so electrified the Arab world that nine other Arab states rushed to get in on the slaughter.

Historian David A. Rausch writes: “Jordan’s King Hussein sent two of his best armored brigades to Syria. Saudi Arabia and Kuwait financially underwrote the huge cost while sending thousands of troops to fight the Israelis. Kuwait lent her British-made Lightning jets to Egypt. Libya’s Muammar Qaddafi turned over forty French-made Mirage III fighters and 100 tanks. Iraqi MiG fighter jets as well as tank and infantry divisions fought on the Golan Heights, while a squadron of Iraqi Hunter jets were utilized by Egypt. Arabs predicted the extermination of the Jewish state and the ‘liberation’ of Palestine....” 3

The Soviet Union blocked any UN attempt at a cease-fire and refortified the Arab forces with armaments and supplies by sea and air. It was the closest Israel ever came to being defeated. But when the war ended, the Israeli tank columns were on the outskirts of Damascus and Cairo and could have taken those cities had they not turned back. Tragically, Israel suffered about 3,000 dead—which would be comparable to the U.S. losing 150,000. Except for a series of miracles from God, Israel would not have survived.

***With A Friend Like This Who Needs Enemies? 1973!

Where was her friend, the United States? IN 1973? Dozens of notices were sent to the Nixon White House by America’s National Security Administration (NSA) that an Arab Pearl Harbor was about to be launched against Israel. Nixon sat on them. Kissinger hid at the Waldorf Astoria hotel in New York the day of the attack and waited another three days before convening the UN Security Council. Declining to rush desperately needed military supplies to Israel, the White House said it had to be careful not to upset the Arabs and cause an oil crisis.

SELLING OUT ISRAEL

Six years earlier, on June 8, 1967, the fourth morning of the “Six-day War,” the USS Liberty, an electronics eavesdropping vessel, arrived off the Sinai coast and began to suck in every Israeli military communication, relaying it all to the British Secret Service’s giant computer installation on Cyprus. From there, complete maps of every Israeli military move were transmitted IN ADVANCE! to the Arab armed forces. With that help, the Arabs might have been able to use their overwhelming numerical superiority to turn the tide of the war. Israel had no choice except to sink the Liberty. Of course the media screamed about this “cold-blooded attack.” No one believed Israel’s public excuse that the Liberty had been mistaken for a hostile Egyptian ship—and neither the U.S. nor Israel has publicly told the truth.

Yes, the United States, too, will attack Israel and will be punished at Armageddon (IF IT IS STILL A NATION) . God declares plainly that He will bring all nations against Israel to destroy them:

In the latter days...I will bring thee against my land…my fury shall come up in my face…there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel…the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things [on] the earth, and all the men [on] the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence…[all nations] shall know that I am the Lord. (Eze. 38:16-23)

THE GREAT AND TERRIBLE DAY OF THE LORD COMING

This is terrifying language! What causes this “great shaking” of the entire planet and every living creature upon it? God is personally coming to earth as He did at Mount Sinai when He gave the Law—and He is going to take vengeance upon the enemies of Israel!

There are two specific reasons for God’s judgment: “I will also gather all nations ...into the valley of Jehoshaphat [between Jerusalem and the Mount of Olives, where God miraculously destroyed invading nations without Israel lifting a finger (2 Chr 21:10-25)], and will plead with [punish] them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have [1] scattered among the nations, and [2] parted my land” (Joel 3:2).

Of course, all nations have participated in persecuting and scattering the Jews from country to country for 2,500 years. The second reason for God’s judgment falling on all nations, however, is something that has only occurred within our generation: “they have…parted [divided] my land.”

Israel has been overrun by invaders many times—but never did any conqueror divide the land. The victor does not share its spoils with others. Since World War I, however,almost all nations have joined to divide the land of Israel.

The 1917 Balfour Declaration, the 1919 Paris Peace Conference, and the 1922 Declaration of Principles by the League of Nations all recognized that the land that had become known as “Palestine” (since the Romans renamed Israel in A.D. 135) belonged to the Jews. It was set aside to become the national homeland of the Jewish people “internationally guaranteed, and…formally recognized to rest upon ancient historic connection.” Of course, history ties Israel to all of “Palestine.”

"LEGAL" GENECIDE! (ECONOMICS RULES NOT GOD'S WORD)

Britain was given the mandate to see that the Jews were safely settled there. The discovery of huge reservoirs of oil under Arab lands caused Britain to keep Jewish immigrants out and let in tens of thousands of Arabs. Just when millions of Jews desperately needed a haven to which they could flee from Nazi Germany, Britain’s 1939 White Paper limited Jewish immigrants to 10,000 per year for a maximum of five years, plus an additional 25,000 “refugees” during that period—then the door to Palestine would be shut entirely to the Jews. Since the Nazis had marked for extinction 11 million Jews in Europe, the quota of 25,000 defied God and conscience.

A year earlier, President Roosevelt had gathered delegates from 32 countries in Evian, France, to discuss the worsening plight of the Jews. Roosevelt made it clear that the United States would do nothing. Britain said there was no room in Palestine and it was not to be discussed. Professing their great sympathy for Europe’s Jews that everyone knew were to be exterminated, the nations offered various excuses why they could do nothing to intervene.

Hitler shrewdly declared, “We...are ready to put all these criminals at the disposal of these countries...even on luxury ships.” When the conference ended with the Jews completely abandoned, Hitler mocked the participants: “It was recently regarded as wholly incomprehensible why Germany did not wish to preserve in its population...the Jews…[yet these] countries seem in no way anxious to [receive them] now that the opportunity offers.” The entire world was Hitler’s partner in destroying the Jews!

In 1944, Hitler offered to sell to the allies 500,000 Hungarian Jews for $2 each—and no one would take them! England said there was “no room” in Palestine for them! In 1943, Britain and America had agreed to say and do nothing about the Holocaust, fearful that if pressed, Hitler would dump the Jews on his critics. The Allies steadfastly refused the repeated urgent appeals from Jewish organizations to bomb the rail lines going in and out of the extermination camps. God will judge all nations!

After the war, a trickle of emaciated survivors of Hitler’s death machines sought to reach “Palestine” in half-sinking ships. Some who got within sight of the land God had given to them as an everlasting inheritance (1 Chr 16:15-18) were driven back by the British navy and put into internment camps on Cyprus. Many who did manage to find shelter within what would become the new Jewish State of Israel were rounded up by the British and removed to those camps. Britain created Jordan out of most of the Promised Land. The demise of the British Empire, upon which “the sun never sank,” can be counted from the time Britain betrayed the Jews—one more fulfillment of the prophecy, “I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee…” (Gen 12:3).

When the UN finally voted to partition Palestine on November 29, 1947 (UN Res. 181), God’s “chosen people” received about 13 percent of the land that had once belonged to them! Thus Joel’s prophecy was fulfilled that all nations would join to divide Israel. The only part of that prophecy remaining to be fulfilled is the judgment on the nations for having “parted” God’s land: “The land shall not be sold [partitioned] for ever; for the land is mine” (Lev 25:23).

CURRENT HERETICAL INTRIGUES

God’s anger is growing hotter against the nations of this world for robbing Israel of what He gave to her. Yet in continued defiance of God, every peace proposal that the West has imposed upon Israel has involved further dividing of God's land. President Bush, a professing Christian, originated the so-called “road map to peace,” which called for a further dividing of the land of Israel. IN RETIREMENT he ought to tremble and repent, as should President Obama, former Pres. Clinton, Putin, the EU, and the UN, who have joined the U.S to sponsor these disbolical plans for "PEACE".

Three times God calls Israel the "apple of his eye" and warns: "He that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye" (Zec 2:8; Dt 32:10; Lam 2:18). The statements that Barack Obama continually makes in favor of Islam are not only alarming for his own sake and the sake of the United States but are a slap in the face of the God of Israel. One can only warn him with what God himself told Abraham regarding the subsequent mistreatment of his descendants: "I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed" (Gn 12:3).

The Bible foretells a false peace, by which Antichrist will “destroy many” (Dan 8:24,25). Tragically, Israel will be deceived, tear down the security wall now being built, and drop its guard, opening the door to “the time of Jacob’s trouble” (Jer 30:7) and Armageddon (Ezek. 38:11,12,14,16). Two-thirds of all Jews worldwide will be killed (Zech. 13:8,9). Those who survive will believe in Christ and be saved when He rescues them and they recognize the crucified, resurrected Lord as their Messiah and God (Zech. 12:10; Matt. 24:13; Rom 11:25,26).

Pursuing their impossible peace initiatives, world leaders defy the God of Israel and of the Bible. As the “heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing [and] the kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed” (Ps 2:1-2), those with “ears to hear” (Deut 29:4; Eze 12:2; Matt. 11:15; 13:9, etc.) detect the terrifying sound of laughter: “He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the LORD shall have them in derision” (Ps 2:4).

We are in the late stages of the awesome fulfillment of Bible prophecy, behind which lies the omnipotent hand of God himself: “I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem...” (Zech. 12:2, 3).

"PEACE PEACE" BUT BLOOD WILL FLOW

On her part, Israel has been willing to give away more and more land in exchange for promises of “peace” from the PLO in spite of the fact that its charter calls for the destruction of Israel and that its maps and those of the entire Arab world do not even acknowledge Israel’s existence. The fact that Israel has been forced to do so by the West is no excuse. For this she will be punished severely in what is called “the time of Jacob’s trouble” (Jer 30:7). Yes, God will deliver her, but only after two-thirds of all Jews on earth have been killed (Zec 13:8,9).

There is no more appropriate place and way to destroy the nations that have abused Israel than when they, in the spirit of Satan, come to effect once and for all what Hitler called the “final solution to the Jewish problem.”

Believers are to meet together to encourage and exhort one another from Scripture, “so much the more, as ye see the day [of judgment] approaching” (Heb 10:25). Fulfilled prophecies are heralding that day as never before.

CONCLUSION

Zechariah Chapter 12 ends with the Messiah's prophesied return.

9 "And in that day I will set about to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.

10 "I will pour out on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the Spirit of grace and of supplication, so that they will look on Me whom they have pierced; and they will mourn for Him, as one mourns for an only son, and they will weep bitterly over Him like the bitter weeping over a firstborn.

SECRET COUP IS NO SECRET: NEW VIDEO BY "JUST THINK ABOUT IT"

I really like his videos a lot.  I hope you do too because he's very good at showing how bad things are and how it related to Biblical prophecy.  While I don't encourage being totally emerged in politics as it eats you up and spits you out, I do believe we are told to WATCH and WORK.  We must tarry and carry on.  I made this pic when I share his videos and use it for him and some of my own posts but I am in no way involved in his mission.  That's the term he uses and not ministry.  I don't care what he calls it.  The Gospel is to be taught in truth and Spirit by the Word of God!


I'm not stealing the name of his mission but truly...
