Bible prophecy allows both the diligent and the skeptical to test God's word. The Bible warns a single generation will see the fulfillment of many Bible prophecies beginning with Israel gathered back into her Land as a nation and ending with Armageddon. The Bible tells us prophetic warning signs are given so we will return to God and draw close to Him through Jesus Christ (Yeshua Ha'Mashiach in Hebrew) before it's too late, for God will provide hope, comfort, and shelter for all who will sincerely receive it . . . the message found in the Bible is not trivial ... it is staggering!!!
This weekly news update is being sent because the Bible tells us to know the prophecies and to "watch" for their fulfillment (which can only be done by learning and knowing what is going on around the world) ... many churches and synagogues today ignore and deny Bible prophecy (which in itself is a major fulfillment of Bible prophecy) ... here, Jesus Christ (Yeshua Ha'Mashiach in Hebrew) commands all those who will follow Him to "watch" and be ready ...
"Take heed (to the prophetic warnings) ...
watch (what is going on) ...
and pray (see below);
for you do not know when the time is (the coming Rapture).
It is like a man going to a far country,
who left his house and gave authority to his servants, and to each his work,
and commanded the doorkeeper to watch.
Watch therefore,
for you do not know when the master of the house is coming --
in the evening, at midnight, at the crowing of the rooster, or in the morning --
lest, coming suddenly, he find you sleeping.
And what I say to you, I say to all: Watch!"
(Mark 13:33-37)
Now, a short Bible prophecy lesson to help show how close we are ...
+ Israel back in the Land as a nation (this started the clock ticking ...)
+ Iran and allies threatening war against Israel
+ Russia rising ... and acting as a 'guard' for Iran
+ China armed with weapons capable of quickly destroying 1/3 of mankind
+ Nations of the ancient Roman Empire (Europe) reuniting and rising in power
+ Teachings of false 'Prophets' leading many
+ A Generation 'morally corrupt' and 'filled with violence'
(The Bible uses the word 'corrupt' - like smelly, rotting meat)
+ 'The falling away'... churches and synagogues no longer teaching or enduring sound doctrine
+ Israel and Jerusalem . . . trouble, troubles, and more trouble
+ All nations turning against nation Israel . . .
= The Generation of the Apocalypse ... Armageddon ... and Messiah's Return.
For the first time in history this prophetic 'equation' is nearly complete . . . and all in this generation!!!
Finding Hope and Comfort ... For Those Going Through Difficult Times
--Alpha News Daily (Finding Hope and Comfort in Times of Trouble ...) (God's Promise ...) For those who sincerely believe and trust in Jesus Christ (Yeshua Ha'Mashiach in Hebrew) to save them from their sins, this short life on Earth will be the closest thing to Hell we will ever experience (for the Bible warns our faith will be tested through difficult trials) ... but, for all those who choose not to believe and trust in Him (to save them from their sins and from Hell) this short life on Earth will be the closest thing to Heaven . . .
Please remember, no matter how bad things get and no matter how long they might last ... hang in there ("endure") in faith ... trust in Him ... it will one-day be worth it!!!
"Do not be afraid,
nor be dismayed (distressed),
for the Lord God is with you
wherever you go."
(Joshua 1:9)
"He (the Lord) will be with you,
He will not leave you nor forsake you."
(Deuteronomy 31:8)
"Don’t worry (or be anxious) about anything,
but pray about everything . . .with thanksgiving"
(Philippians 4:6 tlb)
"The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit
that we are children of God, (All those who will sincerely believe and trust in Jesus-Yeshua, the Messiah to save them from their sins)
and if children, then heirs --
heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ (Messiah),
if indeed we suffer with Him"
(Rom 8:16) (The Bible warns us there will be testing, suffering, and pain in the life of a true believer)
"For You are my Rock and my Fortress (place of shelter),
Therefore, for Your Name's sake (LORD),
please lead me and guide me (through this life and through the fiery trials and suffering)"
(Psalm 31:3)
"If any of you lacks wisdom (concerning your situation),
let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach,
and it will be given to him.
But let him ask in faith, with no doubting,
for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea
driven and tossed by the wind.
For let not that man (the one who doubts God)
suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord"
(James 1:5-7)
"But without faith it is impossible to please Him (God),
for he who comes to God must believe that He is,
and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him."
(Hebrews 11:6)
"We know that all things work together for good,
to those who love God"
(Rom 8:28)
Please notice it says all things work together for good "to those who love God" ... even though we may never know the "How?" or "Why?" until we get to Heaven. Do you love God? Look around and consider your blessings ... then look at Christ (the Messiah of Israel) and the work He lovingly and willingly completed on the Cross for your (and my) sins so we might freely enter into His Kingdom of Heaven which is filled with beauty … and where we are told we will finally find our 'rest' and our 'peace' ... yes, God has loved (and still loves) you.

From Israel: There Is No Peace Process ... Only War Process In Israel
--Jerusalem Post/Caroline Glick (Prophecies...Israel after becoming a nation) (Prophecies ... Wars and rumors of war)
"Because, even because
they have seduced My people (Israel),
saying, 'Peace, and there was no peace ..."
(Ezekiel 13:10)
"For they have healed the hurt
of the daughter of My people (Israel) slightly,
saying, "Peace, Peace; when there IS NO PEACE!"
(Jeremiah 8:11)
"For you yourselves know perfectly
that the Day of the Lord (the coming 'Apocalypse')
so comes as a thief in the night.
For when they say, "Peace and safety!"
then sudden destruction comes upon them,
as labor pains upon a pregnant woman.
And they shall not escape.
But you, brethren,
are not in darkness,
so that this Day (the coming 'Apocalypse')
should overtake you as a thief.
You (believing Christians) are all sons of light and sons of the day.
We are not of the night nor of darkness.
Therefore let us not sleep, as others do,
but let us watch and be sober.
For those who sleep, sleep at night,
and those who get drunk are drunk at night.
But let us who are of the day be sober,
putting on the breastplate of faith and love,
and as a helmet the hope of salvation. (saving us from our sins and from the 'wrath' to come)
For God did not appoint us to wrath,
but to obtain salvation
through our Lord Jesus Christ,
(the Greek-English translation of Yeshua Ha'Mashiach)
who died for us,
that whether we wake or sleep,
we should live together with Him (in Heaven ... forever and ever!!!)."
(1 Thessalonians 5:2-10)
Germany Warns The U.S Against Anti-Missile Shield ...
--WND/London Telegraph (Prophecies ... 10 nations of the Roman Empire will reunite and rise) (Prophecies...Russia and allies will invade Israel) Who actually won the 'Cold-War'? For at least two decades the Socialist bumper-sticker has been 'Use Democracy to Destroy Democracy'... Gorbachev tore down the Berlin Wall ... then a generation of Russian-Marxist educated East Germans flooded the outnumbered West German voter rolls ... pro-US German parties and politicians were quickly defeated ... and Germany swiftly turned from America's ally to Russia's ally on all major global issues ... as a note, the current German Prime-Minister Merkel grew up in East Germany ... and Russian leader Putin once commanded the powerful East German KGB and he speaks fluent German. You will find 'Gomer' listed in this prophecy as one of the nations who will join the Russia-Iran led coalition of nations who will one-day attack and invade Israel. The ancient Roman-Jewish historian Josephus tells us 'Gomer' is the land those (the Romans and Jews) called 'Galatians' were from. The word 'Galatians' comes from 'Gaul' which we are told is the area around France and Germany. Encyclopedias will also specify 'Gomer' as the area around Germany and France. We also know the Galatians from the Apostle Paul's letter to the Galatians (written around 55 AD) ... we find from history an army of ancient Galatians left their homeland around Germany and France (Gaul) and (after a number of conquests and defeats) were brought over to the highlands of central Anatolia (now Turkey) as mercenaries around 300 BC (which is about 280 years after Ezekiel's prophecy was written), and there they formed their own 'colony' in an area the Jews and Romans called Galatia (which means 'Gaul of the East') and lived (and thrived) until the days of the Apostle Paul. It will be interesting to watch as Iran (Persia), Russia (Magog), and Gomer (France and Germany) now all have soldiers and/or sailors deployed (or hidden like the Iranian Revolutionary Guards who have infiltrated Lebanon with Hizbullah) along the northern border of Israel in Lebanon ... even though the numbers are now small, never before in the history of the world has this strange mix of armies and navies been deployed together along Israel's border.

"Use Democracy to Destroy Democracy"... Not too many years ago average Americans were abhorred at how the Marxist-Communist-Socialists in the Soviet Union and China imprisoned those who opposed their One-Party rule, enforced 'Atheism', and took children from their parents to indoctrinate them into the 'ways of the State' in their state-run schools ... as we read the next few headlines we have to scratch our heads and search our hearts as we wonder again 'who is winning (or has won) the 'Cold War'?

"For whoever is ashamed of Me (Jesus Christ) and My words,
of him (or her) the Son of Man will be ashamed (on the day of Judgment) . . ."
(Luke 9:25-26)
"But he (or her) who denies Me (Jesus-Yeshua) before men
will be denied before the angels of God."
(Luke 12:8-9)
--WND (Bible Warnings: Homosexuality and Abortion) ('The Generation of Armageddon'...)
--WND (Bible Warnings: Homosexuality and Abortion) Following Soviet educational doctrine, the Democrat Party strategy (which includes the 'State' taking control over our children) is nothing new ... while the Democrat Party's official 'platform' stands on forcing homosexuality and abortion upon all people ... their (Marxist-socialist based) priorities now include both state-enforced 'Atheism' and state-control over our children . . .
"Then Jesus-Yeshua called a little child to him ...
Whoever causes one of these little ones who believes in Me to sin,
it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck
and he were drowned in the depths of the sea.
Woe to the world because of offenses, for offenses must come,
but, woe to that man (or woman) by whom the offense comes!"
(Matthew 18:2,3-7) ('Woe' is a terrible, terrible, terrible curse ...)

"The
fool has said in his heart,
'There is no God.'
They are corrupt,
and
have done abominable iniquity (sin);
There is none who does good.
God
looks down from heaven upon the children of men,
To see if there are any who understand, who seek God.
Every one of them has turned aside;
They have together become corrupt;
There is none who does good,
No, not one."
(Psalm 53:1-3)
As we diligently study the Bible we find where God raises up evil nations to judge those who have turned against Him and His Word . . .
