The Signs of the Times

The signs of the times are evident to those who know the Bible. The “mystery of lawlessness” is already at work, as the Apostle Paul wrote. And it is accompanied with the unrighteous deception of political correctness Image may contain: 1 person, meme, text that says 'THOSE WILLING TO KILL THE UNBORN SHOULDN'T BE ALLOWED TO GOVERN THE LIVING'which redefines good as bad and bad as good. They chant ‘Black Lives Matter’ but they are OK with millions of black babies being aborted in their mother’s wombs. They yell and march and burn for ‘justice’ but they fail to realize that justice is based on truth. I came across a poster which I believe states God’s sentiments exactly. Sadly, the Democrat Party has adopted a pro-abortion platform, making them diametrically opposed to God. And they are doing this to gain power and a little money. But, they cannot see it because God has given them a “strong delusion that they should believe the lie.” And “they will be condemned because they did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness”. (2 Thes. 2:9-12).

Then there is the nation of Israel which God has set as an ensign, a flag waving to get the attention of the nations, God’s end time clock is ticking and the remaining time is short.

web pictures 001 “And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.” – Isa. 11:12

As Jesus was teaching about the end days, He referred to Israel as the ‘fig tree’ saying when you see the tree budding  “you see and know for yourselves that summer is now near.” and that the Kingdom of God is near. Then He said –

“Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all things take place.” – Luke 21:32

Now, in the Bible the term ‘generation’ can have several meanings. It can refer to all the people who see an event, or it can refer to a broad time in which something happens, Or it can refer to a specific length of time. As when David calculates a man’s life to be 70 or 80 years –

The days of our lives are seventy years; And if by reason of strength they are eighty years, Yet their boast is only labor and sorrow; For it is soon cut off, and we fly away.” – Psalm 90:10

The nation of Israel just celebrated its 70th birthday since its founding (May 14, 1948) on April 14, 2018. If by reason of strength they are given 80 years, that fixes that date at 2028. We are about to enter 2021 so that will leave 7 years to go. Is it significant that 7 years is the length of the covenant the Antichrist confirms with Israel? Well, I am not a prophet but, as a teacher I can say the time is getting short!

So, what should we be doing to redeem the time we have left? I believe the prophet Malachi has the answer. He writes about these days we live in, “the great and dreadful day of the Lord.” He says  God is going to send the prophet Elijah and what will he do? “And he will turn The hearts of the fathers to the children, And the hearts of the children to their fathers, Lest I come and strike the earth with a curse.” God calls children, “His heritage” which is given to man and Elijah will remind all fathers of this truth. Each Father has a responsibility to instill this truth in their children. It is not the mother’s responsibility, it is the father’s! God is going to hold them responsible for their children. And God will help the fathers to do this! God will give them teaching tools: the Law of Moses.

“Remember the Law of Moses, My servant, Which I commanded him in Horeb for all Israel, With the statutes and judgments.” – Mal. 4:4

Horeb is the mountain where God gave the Ten Commandments which are God’s principles to live by. They are:

  1. You shall have no other gods before Me – nothing shall have more importance than God.
  2. You shall make no idols – not money, not politics, not sports, not pleasure, etc.
  3. You shall not take the Name of the Lorde your God in vain – don’t proclaim to be Christian then act like the world!
  4. Remember the Sabbath Day to keep it holy – believe the Genesis account of the Creation and give back to God one day to commune with Him.
  5. Honor your Father and your Mother – this is the secret of long life, a happy family and a blessed nation.
  6. You shall not murder – and that includes abortion.
  7. You shall not commit adultery – honor your marriage vows and remember we are also married to God.
  8. You shall not steal – this dishonors your neighbor.
  9. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor – truth brings justice.
  10. You shall not covet – don’t look at other people instead look to God for your blessings.

Every life needs goals to aim for and these are the goals God has given to us. Jesus said He did not come to destroy the Law but to fulfill it. He fulfilled it by love and He gives that same love to everyone who repents and follows Him. Fathers, teach these things to your children and talk to them about the fear of the Lord and His mysteries. Malachi says –

“Then those who feared the LORD spoke to one another, And the LORD listened and heard them; So a book of remembrance was written before Him For those who fear the LORD And who meditate on His name.” – Mal. 3:16

Remind them that God is their Creator, as King David wrote –

“My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, The days fashioned for me, When as yet there were none of them.” – Psalm 139:15, 16

Everyone one of us born on this earth has a plan for our lives, pre-written by God in a heavenly book before we were even born. One day we will stand before the Throne of God and give an answer for what we have done and how we measure up against this book of God’s plan for our lives.

“And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books.” – Rev. 20:12

The time is short and getting shorter rapidly. Take Malachi’s advice to heart and seek truth. And remember, Jesus said “Jesus said to him, “I am the waythe truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” (John 14:6).

The Tabernacle of David is Rising

9_11 towers

9/11 Twin Towers Attack

I can remember September 11, 2001 as the Twin Towers came tumbling down at the hand of terrorists and the world has changed since then. But, there is another 9:11 that I want to highlight, the verse of Amos 9:11 –

“On that day I will raise up The tabernacle of David, which has fallen down, And repair its damages; I will raise up its ruins, And rebuild it as in the days of old;” – Amos 9:11

Amos is talking about the sinfulness of Israel and their judgment as a result at the hand of terrorist leaning nations, now Muslim nations. But God declared a time was coming when He would bring back ‘the captives of His people Israel‘. He would rebuild the Tabernacle of David – Continue reading

Mystery Babylon chapter 2

menora“Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” – Matthew 5:13-16

The salt Jesus is talking about is that preservative that fights corruption – the corruption of sin. And the light He is talking about is that God given exposure to the truth as God defines it. It alone can drive away darkness. Mystery Babylon cannot stand either. Her spirit thrives in darkness and she is full of corruption. If we would follow Jesus we must be salt and light in our time. One thing about salt – you always know it is there! There is no hiding it. And light always exposes darkness for what it is. Continue reading

Iran continues preparing for war with Israel

iranian syrian camp

I have written extensively about the coming war of Ezekiel 38 which often referred to as the war of Gog and Magog. In a recent article named ‘Is Ezekiel’s Gog soon upon us?’ I specifically highlighted recent actions by Turkey to prepare for this warbut, in this article I will highlight actions by Iran that very well may set the war off! Iran (known as Persia by Ezekiel) is steadily building its’ military preparations. It is arming Hezbollah with Continue reading

Stand with God or the UN?

UN BuildingThat ‘sleeping giant’, the UN, has been stirred to life again. What is responsible for this infusion of energy? Why, it is the only thing that stirs this megalithic ‘United Nothing’ to action – some nation dared to honor the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. In this case, it was the United States who dared to recognise what God declares in His word –

“He also built altars in the house of the LORD, of which the LORD had said, “In Jerusalem I will put My name.” – 2 Kings 21:4

The Russians are Coming!

Iconfederates of Gogn 2015 I posted a series of articles concerning the prophesied Gog Magog war with Israel but, it deserved to be updated as much has happened since then. First, let me recap some of what I wrote previously.

“In Gog Rising parts 1-4, I identified most of the nations led by Russia against Israel as: Russia, Turkey, Iran, Libya, Sudan, and others.  –

“You will ascend, coming like a storm, covering the land like a cloud, you and all your troops and many peoples with you.” – Ezekiel 38:9

Choices

The United States is facing serious questions right now and they are not just about who will be President. One major choice is that of Elijah’s challenge –

“And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word.” – 1 Kings 18:21

web pictures 032By choosing against prayer to God in schools; or against posting the 10 Commandments in public; or upholding God’s definition of marriage as being between a man and a woman; or by choosing to allow the murder of babies in the womb; or by choosing to dissolve the covenant of marriage in divorce; or by choosing world views that deny God, such as humanism- we are choosing to follow the Baals of our day.

Something is Happening episode 3

Many other signs are overlooked as being unimportant because people do not know or believe the Word of God – but that will not stop what God is planning.

kinneret-island

Dry land has appeared in the Sea of Galilee, September 2016

An island that has recently appeared in the middle of the Sea of Galilee (Kinneret) is a cause of ecologic alarm, but, more importantly, it is also a sign mentioned explicitly in the Talmud as presaging the coming of the Messiah from the House of David. Jewish scholars have predicted for years that these things would begin in Galilee just before Messiah returns because that is where the Babylonian captivity began from.  Continue reading

The Last Days for America?

the last days

As we move closer to another Presidential election we need to consider what is really at stake. In light of the prophetic signs that come to pass recently it should be obvious that we are nearing the end of the age. For those among you who are younger and for those who have been asleep or too taken up with everyday living to have noticed, I will list a few of the recent prophetic events:

  • WW I – Jews return to Palestine – Balfour Declaration
  • WWII – Israel becomes a nation – 1948
  • Jerusalem back under Jewish control – 1967
  • United States begins official turn away from God – prayer removed from schools – 10 Commandments removed from public display – 1960’s
  • 1960 through 1990’s United States continues moral downward slide into apostasy
  • September 11, 2001 1st Harbinger strikes America as Islamic terrorist bring down World Trade Center Towers
  • 2011 world-wide mass die-offs of birds, fish, and animals begins
  • God sends a prophet to America with the warning of Isaiah 9:10 – Rabbi Jonathan Cahn reveals the Harbingers
  • 2014-2015 God sends  heavenly signs – a Blood Red Moon Tetrad – only the eighth since Jesus’ 1st coming – each time signaling historic changes
  • Pestilences, earthquakes, revolutions and wars increasing dramatically
  • Economic collapses in 2001, 2008, and 2015 highlighting Harbingers and Shemitahs (Sabbath years)

I have not listed the obvious building of tensions in the Middle East that signal to approach of the Psalm 83 and Ezekiel 38 wars. These and many other signs are meant to alert us to the lateness of the time. A time when the Bible declares an Antichrist figure and government will appear that will try to eliminate Israel and Christians from the earth. It is obvious that to accomplish these goals the United States will have to be removed as a world power. The best way to do this is to get the United States to leave its dependence on God who has been its historical power source.

burning dollars

This is exactly what has been happening. For the sake of the promise of money and prosperity, that never appeared, Americans elected the most anti-Christian president we have ever had . No friend of Israel, he is also no friend of Christians. Here is a partial listing of his actions over the past eight years and I would remind you – actions speak louder than words!

sum of all lies

  1. April 2008 – speaks disrespectfully of Christians accusing them of “clinging to their guns and religion and having antipathy to people who aren’t like them.”
  2. February 2009 – He announces plans to revoke conscience protection for health workers who refuse to participate in medical activities that go against their beliefs”, and fully implements the plan in February 2011.
  3. April 2009 – When speaking at Georgetown University, he orders that “a monogram symbolizing Jesus’ name be covered when he is making his speech.”
  4. May 2009 – He declines to host services for the National Prayer Day (a day established by federal law) at the White House. (Instead, he honors a Muslim prayer day.)
  5. April 2009 – In a deliberate act of disrespect, he nominated three pro-abortion ambassadors to the Vatican; of course, the pro-life Vatican rejected all three.
  6. October 19, 2010 – he begins deliberately omitting the phrase about “the Creator” when quoting the Declaration of Independence – an omission he has made on no less than seven occasions.
  7. November 2010 – he misquotes the National Motto, saying it is “E pluribus Unum” rather than “In God We Trust” as established by federal law.
  8. January 2011 – After a federal law was passed to transfer a WWI Memorial in the Mojave Desert to private ownership, the U. S. Supreme Court ruled that the cross in the memorial could continue to stand, but the Obama administration refused to allow the land to be transferred as required by law, and refused to allow the cross to be re-erected as ordered by the Court.
  9. April 2011 – For the first time in American history, he urges passage of a non-discrimination law that does not contain hiring protections for religious groups, forcing religious organizations to hire according to federal mandates without regard to the dictates of their own faith, thus eliminating conscience protection in hiring. (Of course. Muslims are exempt from obeying the federal mandate known as Obama-Care.)
  10. August 2011 – The Obama administration releases its new health care rules that override religious conscience protections for medical workers in the areas of abortion and contraception.
  11. November 2011 – he opposes inclusion of President Franklin Roosevelt’s famous D-Day Prayer in the WWII Memorial.
  12. November 2011 – Unlike previous presidents, he studiously avoids any religious references in his Thanksgiving speech.
  13. December 2011 – The Obama administration denigrates other countries’ religious beliefs as an obstacle to radical homosexual rights.
  14. January 2012 – The Obama administration argues that the First Amendment provides no protection for churches and synagogues in hiring their pastors and rabbis.
  15. February 2012 – The Obama administration forgives student loans in exchange for public service, but announces it will no longer forgive student loans if the public service is related to religion.

obamas ringOf course, I am referring to Barack Hussein Obama, the most anti-Christian president the United States has ever had. And the above is just a sample of his presidential actions. They have occurred without fanfare because a liberal press mostly agrees with him. As long as the people get their government provisions on time most of the publicly educated in this country don’t seem to mind. As I list these factual statements and actions, I am not inferring that President Obama is the beast of Revelation, only that his words and actions may portray the way in which the beast will act.

As we consider our upcoming election it would be good to remember that Hillary Clinton will at least continue Barack Obama’s marxist trend of government or worse. But, it would wise to consider that the Republicans by in large did not resist Obama’s government even though they controled both the House of Representatives and the Senate. In some cases they passed budget bills giving him all he wanted and more! So why should we expect they will give us a candidate that will point this country back to a Godly agenda? With this in mind, I want to include a video by a decorated Army general who is a strong Constitutional Christian conserative – Lt. Gen. (Ret.) W.G. (Jerry) Boykin.

The facts General Boykin listed are well documented but have you taken them to heart? Is the Pastor of your church warning against them? As a good watchman I have warned you now you need to act. The very least you can do is pray that God will deliver us and prepare us to weather the coming storm. In this age of electronic media, you could also share this message with all your friends – even though they may reject your warning.

 

Remember from where you have fallen

inaug addressWe are often called a nation of immigrants, because our people have come from so many nations of the world but, we have forgotten a very important truth about our founding. While there were many who tried to colonize this land; Vikings, Spanish, Knights Templar, Aztecs, only one group was favored by God to complete the task – Pilgrims and Puritans! Why? Because they came seeking God and to do His will on earth. They may not have been perfect – no men are – but God chose them to found this great nation. Some 200 years after they began, the United States of America was finally founded and its leaders elected by the people. The first official act of the new President and Congress was to thank God and dedicate this new country to His purposes. We were not founded on Buddhist, Islamic, Occult, or Atheist principles but on Christian principles found in the Holy Bible. In this act of dedication, George Washington also warned – Continue reading
