To Readers: If your e-mail comes through plain, with funny characters in headlines or without blue links go to: www.alphanewsdaily.com/WeeklyNews.html
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!!!

Note to Readers: "Easter"... "Feast of Firstfruits"... "Resurrection Day"... Below (following this week's News Headlines) you will find remarkable prophecies of the Messiah written by the prophets in the Old Testament (Tanakh) hundreds of years BEFORE the birth of Jesus Christ (Yeshua Ha'Mashiach in Hebrew) ... so, when you see people around the world celebrating 'Easter' (a non-Biblical term) this coming Sunday, consider how accurately (and literally) all these prophecies (concerning Messiah's first coming as 'the Passover Lamb of God') were fulfilled ... although it may seem a little long ... whether Jew or Gentile you will find it fascinating and worth the effort to read . . . and remember God warns all the prophecies found in the Bible (including the few listed on this page) will be fulfilled just as accurately (and literally) . . .
"Surely the Lord God does nothing, unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets ..." (Amos 3:7) (Especially concerning His promised Messiah ... see the special prophecy section after the Weekly News Headlines)

Senior Russian General Warns The U.S. To Think Twice Before Attacking Iran ... --Debkafile (Prophecies...Iran, Russia, and allies will invade Israel) (Prophecies ... Wars and rumors of war) The time draws near ... the Bible warns Iran (Persia), with Russia ('Magog'), and a coalition of allies (including Turkey and Sudan) will attack and will invade Israel. In Ezekiel 38-39 the Bible warns this coming war between Iran (Persia) and Israel will take place sometime after Israel has been re-gathered into Her land as a nation (which was fulfilled on May 14, 1948) ... this prophetic war has never yet taken place ... the only time in history Persia (Iran) has ever gone to war against Israel was to help Israel throw off the yoke of the Byzantine Empire around 614 AD. The Bible warns the US will NOT defend Israel. According to the Bible, Israel must stand alone...with God. For when this coming war does finally start, the United States (for reasons yet unknown) will be unable or unwilling to help Israel defend herself. Although the Bible warns the invading armies will be ultimately destroyed by God, it will be a devastating war for both Israel and the whole world. Bible scholars are divided as to whether this coming war is part of the prophetic battle of Armageddon or will just precede the battle of Armageddon in order to prepare the path for the coming Antichrist (a coming 'world leader' who will enforce a 'peace plan' upon Israel). Bible students should be sitting on the edge of their seats with white knuckles watching this terrible prophecy slowly start to unfold ... while believing Christians (followers ... both Jew and Gentile ... of Jesus-Yeshua, the promised Messiah) are told to 'examine' themselves in the Word and in faith to insure they are not just 'almost' Christians (followers of the Messiah) or 'lukewarm' in their faith ... for Jesus-Yeshua the Messiah warns all to, "Watch, therefore, and pray always (not just sometimes), that you will be counted worthy to escape all these things (the terrible events of the coming 'Apocalypse') that will come to pass" ... (Luke 21:36) ... for the Bible promises believing Christians (faithful believers and followers of the Messiah) who are alive at that time and have endured in their faith in God's Word are not 'appointed' to this coming time of 'God's wrath' that will be 'poured out' upon the whole world ...

--WND (Prophecies ... Church leaders will 'depart from the faith') (Bible Warnings: Homosexuality) (From the Bible: Heaven or Hell) "In latter times"... we are now right on schedule ... the generation who would see Israel back in her Land as a nation will see ungodly men (mankind... both men and women) creep into the churches (and synagogues) ... "departing from the faith" and "no longer enduring sound doctrine" ... we now see this in most churches and synagogues today ... Catholic, Protestant, and Jewish ... as many of you have found, it is now getting very difficult (exactly as the Bible warned it would) to find a church and church leader who will diligently teach all the Bible says (and warns) ... even when it opposes and stands firmly against today's prevailing (and now publicly enforced) standard of morality and unbelief . . .
“Behold,
the days are coming,” says the Lord GOD,
seeking the word of the
LORD, (Amos 8:11-12)
"Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some (churches and church leaders) will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons (denying the truth of God's Word ... saying "all roads" lead to Heaven ... adding to or opposing what the Bible says) speaking lies in hypocrisy, (like Satan they can appear knowledgeable and can appear nice ... yet can destroy our soul) having their own conscience seared with a hot iron, forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from foods . . ." (1 Timothy 4:1-3)
"For the time will come (which we are now seeing) when they (many churches, church leaders, and those who call themselves Christians) will no longer endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers (ministers, priests, reverends, rabbis, pastors) (who will tell them only what they want to hear and not what the Bible teaches) and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables. (Such as the 'DaVinci Code' and the 'Lost tomb of Jesus') But you (simple, believing Christians) be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, (simply tell people the 'good news' that our sins can all be forgiven through Christ Jesus) fulfill your ministry." (2 Timothy 4:3-5) (God's Word is called 'living water' ... if someone mixes just 2% poison with 98% pure water we can die)
"Beloved, while I was very diligent to write to you concerning our common salvation, I found it necessary ('compelled') to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints. For certain men (and women) have crept in unnoticed, (church leaders, ministers, priests, reverends, rabbis, pastors) who long ago were marked out for this condemnation, ungodly men (and women), who turn the grace of our God into lewdness . . . (who poison it by twisting, ignoring, not believing, opposing, taking away or adding things to God’s Word in the Bible) But I want to remind you, though you once knew this, (listen up Sabbath and Sunday school graduates ...) that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed all those who did not believe." (Jude 1:3-6)
The 'falling away' ('apostasy') of churches and church leaders, the 'Rapture', and the rise of the coming 'Antichrist' are all closely related in Bible prophecy ...
"Now brethren, (Rabbi Shaul ... Paul ... is talking here to believing Christians ... which were mainly Jewish at the time) concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ (Yeshua Ha'Mashiach in Hebrew) and our gathering together to Him ... (the coming 'Rapture') Let no one deceive you by any means, for that day (the 'Rapture') will not come unless the falling away comes first ..." (churches and synagogues turning away from the Word of God just like we are now seeing) and the man of sin (the Antichrist) is revealed, the son of perdition (another title of the coming Antichrist) who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, (beware ... a powerful 'one-world' religion is coming) so that he sits as God in the Temple of God, (a new Jewish Temple will be built in Jerusalem) showing himself that he is God. (Jesus warns this event will trigger the last half of the 'Apocalypse'... the 3 1/2 year 'Great Tribulation.') Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things?" (He was only with them for 3 weeks and still taught them about the Rapture, Antichrist, and the return of Christ-Messiah) (2 Thessalonians 2:1-10)
The Bible tells us Jesus (Yeshua) is our hope ... our only hope for life in Heaven ... and our time draws near. Regardless of what a few men and women will try to have you believe, the Bible has never changed (some translations may vary from time to time, but the originals in the Hebrew and Greek have never changed) ... yet, for all those who reject God's Word those things now considered 'right' and 'wrong' change frequently like the blowing of the wind. The Bible is clear when it warns us this short life on Earth is simply a test to see who will be 'promoted' to eternal life in Heaven and who will be 'demoted' to eternal life in the darkness, loneliness, and torment of Hell ... the test is a 'True or False' test and the Question we all have to answer is whether God's Word in the Bible is true and can be trusted. If you answer 'True' and live your life accordingly through repentance (which simply means turning away from our sins and turning back to God), and in faith in God's Word, and love the One ... Jesus Christ ... who loved you enough to die and pay for all of your sins on the Cross ..."a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief" (Isaiah 53:3) you will be 'promoted' and warmly received with open arms and with tears of joy into His eternal Kingdom of Heaven which is filled with eternal peace, rest, and beauty ... and it will be well worth all the difficulties, rejection, and pain you will suffer in this life ... for all the pain, the rejection, and the difficulty believers will find in this life is only temporary ... while the peace, the rest, the excitement, and the awesome beauty of life in Heaven will be permanent ... eternal ... forever!
For those who are being taught by those who deny, contradict, ignore, take away, or add to that which the Bible teaches, hear more of what the Bible says . . .
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him (Jesus-Yeshua) 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-Yeshua) is condemned [to Hell] already" (The implications of this verse are staggering!) (John 3:16-18)
No other person (no matter how great or small ... male or female), nor riches, or thinking you are 'good enough' can save you into Heaven ...
Jesus-Yeshua said to him, "I am the way (into Heaven), the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father (into Heaven) except through Me." (John 14:6) (We can only enter into Heaven by trusting in Jesus-Yeshua and believing He died for our sins and was raised from the dead)
"The Son of Man (Jesus Christ ... Yeshua Ha'Mashiach in Hebrew) will send out His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who practice lawlessness (sinning willfully … without repentance, seeking forgiveness, or remorse), and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth." (Matthew 13:41-42)
"For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and is himself (his soul) destroyed or lost? For whoever is ashamed of Me (Jesus Christ) and My words, of him the Son of Man will be ashamed (on the day of Judgment) . . ." (Luke 9:25-26)

In the Bible we find God raises up evil nations to judge those who have turned against Him and His Word . . .

"Evil Americans vs Poor Mullahs"... Germany Siding With Iran Over the United States --WND/Claus Malzahn/Der Spiegel (Prophecies ... 10 nations of the Roman Empire will reunite and rise in power) (Prophecies...Russia and allies) 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 West German voter rolls ... pro-US German parties and politicians were quickly defeated ... and Germany swiftly turned toward Russia and away from the U.S. 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 (Rabbi Shaul). 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.
