Who Really Controls the Church?

This is not your Grandpa’s America. The idea of an all-caring benevolent partnership between the Church and the State no longer exists. With the appearance of the latest national crisis it is becoming painfully obvious to anyone with a functioning brain that the Church /Government relationship is irrevocably broken.

What happens when the marriage reaches irreconcilable differences? What happens when the Government violates the standards of the Church?

The American Church has been in an abusive relationship with the Government since the sixties. When SCOTUS handed down the un-Godly Everson V Board of Education decision in 1947 the first cracks in the long standing marriage between Christ and the Government was exposed. The Everson opinion was the first time in American history that the idea of a Separation between God and Government had ever been litigated. It created an adulterous relationship between the two.

Marriage is a partnership and it is difficult for any relationship to succeed if there is not agreement between the two parties. Although marriage is a union, in a Christian society the husband has always been considered the head of the marriage. In any partnership there has to be someone ultimately in charge when the tough controversial decisions have to be made.

The Scriptures ask the question “Can two walk together lest they agree?” Perhaps you can walk together for awhile, but the greater the disagreement the more difficult the journey becomes.

The 1947 Everson ruling was the first step in the destruction of the Church/Government marriage. The American Church has agreed to an adulterous relationship with the government ever since. Just as no man can serve two wives neither can he serve two masters. The American Church can no longer serve God and the Government.

The Everson opinion declared that the legal marriage of the Church and the State was over. The increased secularization of the Federal Government has made the Church/State relationship untenable. The Government divorced the Church yet refused to grant the Church autonomy free of Government intrusion.. Let the record show that it was the Government who filed for the divorce.

But the Church, like a loyal spouse, has been reluctant to dissolve the marriage. Hoping for reconciliation, the Church remained loyal to their vows, and continued to obey the machinations of the Government in the hopes that by electing men of character the marriage could be restored. While the Church pined for a reunification of the broken marriage the Government strove for a civil union…one in which the “government” maintained its independence, free from the nasty control of the nagging spouse.

In reality, the Church can never be separated from the Government. Individuals make up the Church. Individuals make up the Government. Christians are involved in both. It is impossible for them to be separated.

The “Church” is not a building, an organization, nor a corporation. The Church is a body…consisting of unique individuals…under the Headship of Jesus Christ. The Government was created by the Church; the Church was not created by the Government.

Webster defines divorce as “To separate, as a married woman from the bed and board of her husband.” The Government officially divorced the Church in 1947 but has maintained the benefits of marriage. Christians today are still forced to pay alimony to an ex-spouse without any say in how that money is spent. The Church still has not broken free from the duty to “bed and board” the Government. Why is the Church forced to pay for abortions, the advancement of the homosexual agenda, and the promotion of atheistic/secular beliefs? Where does the Government get the authority to take money from those from which it is legally separated?

The Government of the United State divorced the American Church yet the Body of Christ is still forced to pay alimony in support of the Government’s rebellious behavior. The Government has all of the characteristics of an abusive ex-spouse who still thinks he has control of the credit card..

Let me ask you again…who controls the Church?

The Government/Church separation is the most one-sided divorce in the history of the world. The Government demands the right to make all of the rules while Christians are the ones paying the bills. The “free exercise” clause in the First Amendment is completely ignored. Look at all of the government controls placed on the Church in the recent plandemic and there can be no question as to who is calling the shots.

“Please Masser…can we open our church?”

The Federal Government has become the enemy of the Church. Any clear-thinking American knows that to be true.

If there is a separation between the Church and the Government why does the Body of Christ pay to support the Government without any say as to how the Government operates?


Ministries are required to keep careful records of the financial transactions of the Body of Christ, while the Government provides no such accounting to the Church. If there is a true “separation between Church and State” why is it any business of the Government how the Body of Christ operates? Why is the created entity (the Government) holding any sway over the operation of the Creator (the Church)? Why do we give to Caesar what belongs to God?

The Church created Caesar, why does the Church answer to Caesar? What is it the Church possesses that belongs to Caesar? What should the Church render unto Caesar? Nothing. Caesar is simply an abusive ex-spouse.

Christ is the Head of the Church and the Church is the Head of Government. The Government answers to Christ, Christ’s body does answer to the Government.

That’s how things were when this nation was founded. Today, through taxation, the Body of Christ is forced to fund every evil work of the lawless Government. Doesn’t this seem backwards to you? How can the Government force Christians to fund Hell’s agenda if there is a separation? The Church is above the Government.

Who really controls the Body of Christ?

Middle East Psalm 83 War Prophecy Happening Next

Researched by Pastor Gary Boyd

April 8, 2024

An ancient prophecy written over 3000 years ago reveals that the Arab states and terrorist populations, which presently share common borders with Israel, will soon confederate in order to wipe Israel off of the map. They have said, "Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation, that the name of Israel may be remembered no more." (Psalm 83:4). Psalm 83 predicts a climactic, concluding Arab-Israeli war that has eluded the discernment of today's top Bible scholars, and yet, the Middle East stage appears to be set for the fulfillment of this prophecy.

Psalm 83 Comes Before War of Gog Magog

While many of today's top Bible experts are predicting that Russia, Iran, Turkey, Libya, and several other countries are going to invade Israel according to the prophecy in Ezekiel 38, this timely book explains how Psalm 83 occurs prior. According to Psalm 83 Israel defeats their ancient Arab enemies and America will stand beside Israel in this coming war!

In Psalm 83 War Missiles will cloud Mideast skies over the Persian Gulf as Iran shuts down the Strait of Hormuz. Arab oil will be choked off to world markets. Hezbollah and Hamas launch scores of missiles into Israel. Terror cells initiate cycles of violence in America. Global economies begin to collapse. Radioactivity permeates the skies over Bushehr's nuclear reactor in Iran. Countless Iranians hastily seek refuge into neighboring nations. The Arabian Gulf becomes a cesspool of contamination. Desalinization plants can't process the polluted waters. A humanitarian crisis burgeons out of control. A disaster of epic biblical proportion has finally arrived in the Middle East!

Jeremiah 49

About 2600 years ago the Hebrew prophets Jeremiah and Ezekiel issued parallel end times prophecies concerning modern-day Iran. Today the rogue country is becoming a nuclear nation and aggressively advancing its hegemony throughout the greater Middle East. A nuclear showdown with Iran is coming revealing the ancient prophecy of Elam. Can anything good come from the evil that is about to befall us? The ancient prophecy of Elam will reveal what God has ordained, what the prophets saw and what you need to know and do now.

Israel’s Exceedingly Great Army

Israel delivers the LORD's judgement on the close surrounding Arab countries and become safe and secure and very rich as a result. It wars against specific peoples mentioned in Psalm 38 that do not coincide with Ezekiel chapters 38 and 39 the modern equivalent countries are the nations less Palestinians, Syria, Egypt, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia and Jordan. This confederacy attempts to exterminate the Jews and thus Gods Judgement ensues upon them. Then that is followed later by the war of Ezekiel chapters 38 and 39 (judgement on non - Arab Muslim nations and their allies) and then that is followed by the rise of Antichrist in the tribulation and the war of Armageddon (final judgment on unrepentant gentile nations).

What is Next?

What follows after Psalm 83 is Ezekiel 38, “Gog of Magog” invasion •The Pre-Tribulation Time-Gap Mystery •Satanic Supernatural Deception, (Super-Signs and Lying-Wonders) •The Rise of the Antichrist, (The Lawless One) •The Revealing of Mystery Babylon (The Harlot World Religion) •The Opening of the Seal Judgments, (The 4-Horsemen of the Apocalypse) •World Wars, Famines and Pestilences •The Decline of Islam, (Allah loses his Akbar) •The False Covenant that triggers the Tribulation Period •Christian Martyrdom (The Fifth Seal Saints) •The Two Mysterious Witnesses of Revelation & 144,000 Jewish evangelists that preach the gospel unto the world

Evil Grows Stronger

The Satanic wheels have been set into motion and we're now entering the time when everything evil will coalesce and the citizens of this country who are left behind will be forced to go through what amounts to a meat grinder on the civilization scale, life no longer will be valued. Whether or not any person has a chance to come out the other side intact, will depend on how awake they are, how informed they are, how mentally and physically prepared they are and most importantly, how close their relationship with Jesus is in the Tribulation. Make no mistake folks, the left behind are going to go through this and neither President Trump or anything else is going to stop it from happening.

What if Oil is Produced at the Earth’s Core?
By Pastor Gary Boyd
April 3, 2024

A few months ago I wrote an article on oil, I would now like to advance the story with this bit of perception and research that came from the book by Jerome Corsi called "Black Gold Stranglehold."

Nikolia Kudryavisev

Back in the Stalin days of 1951 a Russian Professor one Nikolai Kudryavisev perceived a belief that was later to become know as the Russian-Ukrainian theory of deep petroleum origins. The professor basically shoots down the theory that oil was formed from the ancient residue of plant and animal life. The theory put forth by the professor and dozens of Russian scientists that followed his work states that the origin of oil came from deep within at the earth's core. Russian scientists at the time believed, as well as most of the academic community of that era, oil should be perceived as a primordial material that the earth forms at its core and squeezes out by the earth's rotation on a continuous basis.

In Wikipedia it states, “Nikolai Kudryavtsev was also a prominent and forceful advocate of the abiogenic theory. He argued that no petroleum resembling the chemical composition of natural crudes has ever been made from plant material in the laboratory under conditions resembling those in nature.

He gave many examples of substantial and sometimes commercial quantities of petroleum being found in crystalline or metamorphic basements, or in sediments directly overlying those. He cited cases in Kansas, California, western Venezuela, and Morocco. He also pointed out that oil pools in sedimentary strata are often related to fractures in the basement directly below. This is evidenced by the Ghawar supergiant oil field (Saudi Arabia); the Panhandle Field in Kansas (United States), which also produces helium; the Tengiz Field (Kazakhstan); the White Tiger Field (Vietnam); and innumerable others. The Lost Soldier Field in Wyoming has oil pools, he stated, at every horizon of the geological section, from the Cambrian sandstone overlying the basement to the upper Cretaceous deposits. A flow of oil was also obtained from the basement itself. Hydrocarbon gases, he noted, are not rare in igneous and metamorphic rocks of the Canadian Shield. Petroleum in Precambrian gneiss is encountered in wells on the eastern shore of Lake Baikal.

Kudryavtsev concluded that commercial accumulations are simply found where permeable zones are overlaid by impermeable ones.

Kudryavtsev introduced a number of other relevant observations into the argument about the theory of abiogenic petroleum origin.

Columns of flames have been seen during the eruptions of some volcanoes, sometimes reaching 500 meters in height, such as during the eruption of Mount Marapi in Sumatra in 1932. (There have been several other instances subsequently.)
The eruptions of mud-volcanoes have liberated such large quantities of methane that even the most prolific gasfield underneath should have been exhausted long ago.
The quantities of mud deposited in some cases would have required eruptions of much more gas than is known in any gasfield anywhere.
The water in mud volcanoes in some instances carries such substances as iodine, bromine and boron that could not have been derived from local sediments, and that exceed the concentrations in seawater one hundredfold.
Mud volcanoes are often associated with lava volcanoes, and the typical relationship is that where they are close, the mud volcanoes emit incombustible gases, while the ones further away emit methane.
He knew of the occurrence of oil in basement rocks of the Kola Peninsula, and of the surface seeps of oil in the Siljan Ring formation of central Sweden. He noted as mentioned above that the enormous quantities of hydrocarbons in the Athabasca tar sands in Canada would have required vast amounts of source rocks for their generation in the conventional discussion, when in fact no source rocks have been found.”

Oil Produced By the Earth's Core

They believed oil was a natural resource of the earth that was produced by the earth's core and because of the earth's rotation & centrifugal force was slowly oozed upward through cracks in the earth's substructure to form in large pools sometimes close to the earth's surface. Thus their belief that oil could be found if only we obtained the knowledge of where these pools of oil existed close enough to the earth's surface to be able to drill and find it.

Stalin

This belief was not advanced for the world's consumption because Stalin had no particular reason at the time to pass this belief on to his enemies at the time that the U.S. and Britain were. In addition all of the information was written in Russian by Russian scientists and published only in the Soviet Union at the time. Few American or British scholars at that time read Russian thus negating their gate to this theory.

The Theory of 1859

Some of the best Western scholars had the theory from 1859 dead set in their minds that oil was a fossil fuel thus eventually we would run out. They believed the Russian theory was a ill-informed idea simply because it was beyond anything Western scholars could perceive as the truth at the time and beyond conventional wisdom.

A-biotic Oil Origins

The past fifty years Russian scientists have published thousands of academic articles that advance and substantiate the theory of deep, a-biotic petroleum origins. Many thousands of other articles have also been generated by chemists, geologists, physicists, all expounding and validating the theory that oil is produced at the earth's core on a continuous daily basis.

Today the origin of oil theory is widely accepted by Russian scientists even though the rest of the world believes the old fossil theory that originated from theorist in 1859. Few of the Russian scientists theories have never been translated in to English so that the rest of the world can know what the acceptable theory among the academics in Russia is.

Running Out of Oil?

Generations of Americans and Westerners over the years have had the mistaken belief that we are indeed running out of oil. Thus the belief that our capitalistic oil companies are intent on making hideous profits at our expense making our lives miserable and driving the price of everything we buy to unrealistic levels. Any idea that competes with the fossil theory is mocked, ridiculed, and marginalized to the extent that is not examined for the truth that might be found. This is the only way that radical environmentalists can continue their adolescent attacks on the world's oil companies. This keeps the oil companies from drilling for new oil and keeps a stranglehold on production so that radicals can call the oil companies American capitalists at its corrupt worst.

Radical Environmentalists

The very thought that oil might be produced daily at the earth's core and that oil could be a renewable resource is indeed very threatening to radical environmentalists who have their own agenda that is not the world's. The idea that we are running out of oil that oil has finally had its hay day and now we need to find alternative sources is the mindset today. This serves companies that are in competition with big oil to come up with alternative ideas for energy like the burning of corn fuel. Turning corn into fuel has already driven the price of red meat to astronomical levels because there is just so much corn produced every year and corn fuel takes away from the feed of cattle making it more expensive to use as feed.

OPEC

Using oil as a political weapon by OPEC, which is a monopoly of Arab oil, puts the whole world at risk of economic collapse because costs of transportation by companies are passed on to the customers and not absorbed by business. Prices inflate at the store thus putting economic pressure on the middle class because their paychecks are not protected against inflation.

Conclusion

This economic suicide has been going on for decades and I fear one day war in the Middle East could have a horrendous effect on the world economy. Cutting off Arab oil by Iran would escalate the price of oil per barrel to astronomical heights, collapsing the world's economy, and shutting down transportation worldwide. Despots would rise in nations around the world blaming the West for their troubles, as they always do, and chaos, unrest, and fear would be the theme of the day. Perhaps our intellect should be expanded to include what true perceptions really are and not let radical environmentalist rule what is true and what is not. They have an agenda and it is not for the good of the world.
I fleshed out this article by adding what it says on the inside flap of the book “Black Gold Stranglehold” by Jerome Corsi. Please check this out:
It is estimated that Americans consume more than 25 percent of the world's oil but have control over less than 3 percent of its proven supply. This extremely unbalanced pattern of consumption makes it possible for foreign governments, corrupt political leaders, terrorist organizations, and oil conglomerates to place the citizens of the United States in a stranglehold of supply and demand. There is no greater proof of this than the direct relationship between skyrocketing gas prices and the exploding wealth of those who control the supply of oil.

In Black Gold Stranglehold, Jerome R. Corsi and Craig R. Smith expose the fraudulent science that has been sold to the American people in order to enslave them: the belief that oil is a fossil fuel and a finite resource. On the contrary, this book presents authoritative research, currently known mostly in the scientific community that oil is not a product of decaying dinosaurs and prehistoric forests. Rather, it is a natural product of the earth. The scientific evidence cited by Corsi and Smith suggests that oil is constantly being produced by the earth, far below the planet's surface, and that it is brought to attainable depths by the centrifugal forces of the earth's rotation.

In great detail Corsi and Smith explore the international and domestic politics of oil production and consumption. This includes the wealth and power of major oil conglomerates, the manipulation of world economies by oil-producing states and rogue terrorist regimes, and the political agenda of radical environmentalists and conservationists who obstruct the use of oil reserves currently controlled by the U.S. government. The authors offer an understanding of the dangerous situation America faces because its currency is no longer tied to any precious and truly scarce metals such as gold, as it was until 1973. This situation could easily lead to the devastation of the U.S. economy if Middle Eastern countries are able to enact current plans to accept only the Euro or gold-backed currencies such as the Gold Dinar instead of the U.S. dollar as the standard currency for oil.

Black Gold Stranglehold will dramatically change the debate about oil. The significance of its message is sure to cause thoughtful people to reconsider the current dependence of the U.S. economy on imported oil.

From the Back Cover
DID YOU KNOW?

• We are not running out of oil now, and we may never run out of it.

• Today we have more proven oil reserves than ever before in human history, despite decades of increased consumption.

• The United States has enough oil offshore and in Alaska to be oil independent for decade to come.

• The money Americans spend on gas ultimately funds radical terrorist regimes and their supporters in the war against America.

• Illegal immigrants are allowed to flood our southern border in order to keep the oil flowing from Mexico.

• Carbon dioxide, the bogeyman of the radical environmental movement, is the "food" of plants and trees.

• If we grow more trees, they will "consume" the carbon dioxide released by automobiles.

• Scientific evidence suggests that in the coming decades the earth is as likely to cool as it is to warm.

• "Global warming" is a scientific hoax at the center of the radical political agenda of environmental extremists.

The Promised Land From the River to the Sea
By Daymond Duck

According to the Bible, God would bring Israel back into being at the end of the age, and that tiny nation will never be destroyed again (Amos 9:15; Ezek. 37:25; Psa. 89:30-37).

God will correct and punish the Jews at the end of the age; He will destroy all the other nations (during the Tribulation Period and at His Second Coming), but He will not destroy Israel or allow other nations to destroy Israel (Jer. 30:11; 46:28).

Though every nation on earth comes against Israel, they will not be able to destroy Israel because God wants everyone on earth to know something about Israel; her God is God, He is faithful, and He keeps His promises.

Most Jews do not know that Jesus is their Messiah. They will rebuild the Temple and resume the animal sacrifices, but God is faithful. He will not break His covenants with the Jewish people, and all of Israel will eventually get saved (Gen. 17:7-8; Rom. 11:26).

Israel will eventually wind up with all the land from the river to the sea and a whole lot more.

Having said this, realize that since Israel became a nation on May 14, 1948, nations have been trying to destroy her, and all have failed.

There have been many efforts to force a peace treaty on Israel and her enemies, but all have failed.

Israel’s enemies do not keep peace treaties; they always break them, and the international community ignores them.

Even now, there is talk of forcing a peace treaty on Israel and her neighbors, but they will fail.

On Mar. 4, 2024, Israel’s ex-defense minister, Benny Gantz (he is also a member of Netanyahu’s war cabinet), visited the U.S. to discuss a ceasefire in the Middle East without the permission of Israeli Prime Min. Netanyahu.

On Mar. 6, 2024, Gantz traveled to the UK to discuss the same thing.

He drew strong criticism in Israel, and some in the Netanyahu government said he might be committing treason.

In Washington, Gantz told Biden’s national security adviser, Jake Sullivan, that “ending the war without clearing out Rafah is like sending a firefighter to extinguish 80 percent of the fire.”

Putting out 80% of a fire won’t work, a premature Israeli withdrawal from Gaza won’t work, forcing a peace treaty on both sides won’t work, and the head of a world government (the Antichrist) confirming a temporary covenant for 7 years of peace won’t work.

So then, what will work?

Peace on earth requires the fulfillment of God’s Word.

Israel must accept Jesus as their Messiah, and Israel must get all the Promised Land.

It will take the Tribulation Period and Second Coming of Jesus to bring this about.

Until then, things are going to get nasty.

(Reminder: I believe in the Pre-Trib Rapture.)

Here are some recent reports that seem to relate to Bible prophecy.

One, concerning wars and rumors of wars: on Mar. 7, 2024, it was reported that a newspaper in Lebanon that is affiliated with Hezbollah said Israel has set Mar. 15, 2024, as a deadline for a diplomatic settlement of its ongoing conflict with Hezbollah.

According to the report, if there is no diplomatic settlement by Mar. 15, Israel will expand its operations to a widescale war (things could get nasty).

(More: On Mar. 10, 2024 – the beginning of Ramadan in some nations – Hezbollah in Lebanon fired more than 60 rockets into Israel. An Israeli official said Israel is preparing for an all-out war with Hezbollah.)

(More: On Mar. 11, 2024, it was reported that the Israeli military is planning to build temporary bomb shelters stocked with food, water, beds, and cots in preparation for a war with Hezbollah. According to the report, they have already acquired 80,000 meal packages in the event that they are needed.)

Two, concerning a ceasefire in Gaza: on Mar. 9, 2024, it was reported that officials in the U.S., Qatar, and Egypt agreed that Hamas does not want a ceasefire at this time.

Hamas prefers to keep the war going, start trouble in Jerusalem and the West Bank, and use the situation to cause a broader war in the region during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.

Three, concerning the decline of America: on Mar. 6, 2024, the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen fired an anti-ship missile at a cargo ship in the Red Sea.

The missile struck the ship, killed 3 people, and injured 4 (3 are in critical condition).

The U.S., UK, and others have attacked the Houthis at least 4 times, but the Houthis continue to say they will not stop attacking cargo ships until Israel stops attacking Hamas in Gaza.

As many see it, Biden is weak, America and its military are in decline, and no one is afraid of the U.S. military anymore.

Weakness in the White House is setting the stage for more wars and rumors of wars.

(More: On Mar. 8-9, 2024, the Houthis fired at least 37 drones and missiles at cargo ships and U.S. Warships in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. Have you got that? The Houthis are attacking the U.S. Navy, and Biden’s efforts to stop them have failed.)

(More: On Mar. 11, 2024, FBI Director Wray told a U.S. Senate Committee that organizations are smuggling criminals from other nations into the U.S., and we are already seeing a wide array of extremely dangerous threats in the U.S.)

(More: On Mar. 12, 2024, it was reported that U.S. military officials said the U.S. has sent vast amounts of our weapons to Ukraine, we are out of many weapons, our military budget is overdrawn, and our military doesn’t have the money to replace the shipped weapons. Pres. Biden said we have come up with $300 million in cost savings on contracts, and we will send that money to Ukraine without Congressional approval.)

Four, concerning an increase in the frequency and intensity of natural disasters at the end of the age: on Mar. 7-8, 2024, North Platte, Nebraska, got 17.4 inches of snow (15.3 inches on Mar. 7, the most ever in one day).

Five, concerning a departing from the faith and persecution of believers at the end of the age: on Mar. 7, 2024, it was reported that Canadian lawmakers are considering a bill to criminalize the quoting of Scripture in defense of marriage.

If passed, telling people what the Bible says about gay issues could be deemed hate speech and lead to criminal prosecution.

Six, concerning world government: on Mar. 10, 2024, it was reported that the World Economic Forum (WEF) is demanding that governments, the media, big tech companies, and civil society silence critics of their unelected globalist agenda.

They want to force people to accept everything they say as truth.

(FYI: On Mar. 5, 2024, Hungary’s Prime Min. Viktor Orban said, “The hegemony of the West has ended. A New World Order is emerging.)

Seven, concerning an increase in pestilences at the end of the age: on Mar. 12, 2024, it was reported that 1,800 immigrants (including 95 children 2 years old and younger) are housed at a shelter.

Four people have come down with measles, and a fifth case has been reported elsewhere.

Health officials have been quarantining (21 days) and vaccinating the migrants, but some unvaccinated migrants have violated their quarantine.

The CDC is sending in a team of experts to try to get the situation under control.

Here is my daily update on the Israel-Hamas war.

Wednesday, Mar. 6, 2024 (Day 152): The ninety-seventh day of the resumed war.

The Hamas ceasefire negotiating team left Egypt and said a ceasefire before Ramadan is unlikely.
Thursday, Mar. 7, 2024 (Day 153): The ninety-eighth day of the resumed war.

Biden plans to build a seaport at Gaza to deliver humanitarian aid.
Biden said he and Netanyahu need to have a “come to Jesus” meeting over getting humanitarian aid into Gaza.
Friday, Mar. 8, 2024 (Day 154) The ninety-ninth day of the resumed war.

Israel’s ambassador to the U.S. said, “Anybody talking about a Palestinian state right now must be living on another planet.”
Canada will resume its funding to the UNRWA, Canada will continue to take the allegations against some of UNRWA’s staff extremely seriously, and Canada will remain closely engaged with UNRWA and the UN to pursue accountability and reforms.
Saturday, Mar. 9, 2024 (Day 155): The one-hundredth day of the resumed war.

Israel said Hamas is not interested in reaching an agreement now and instead seeks to inflame the broader region during the upcoming Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
Sunday, Mar. 10, 2024 (Day 156) The one hundred-first day of the resumed war.

Netanyahu said, “They (most Arab countries) basically understand (the war) and even tacitly agree with it. They understand that Hamas is part of the Iranian axis of terror, which threatens them as much as it threatens us.”
Thousands of Muslims gathered in Jerusalem and the Al-Aqsa mosque, and there were clashes with the Israeli police.
Monday, Mar. 11, 2024 (Day 157): The one hundred-second day of the resumed war.

There were unconfirmed reports that Israel may have killed the #3 man in Hamas over the weekend.
Israel killed a terrorist armed with weapons, ammunition, and a ready-to-use explosive device that they believe was on his way to Tel Aviv to trigger an uprising on Ramadan.
Ramadan has begun, and there is no ceasefire.
Tuesday, Mar. 12, 2024 (Day 158): The one hundred-third day of the resumed war.

Following Israeli strikes on two targets in Lebanon, Hezbollah fired more than 100 Katyusha rockets into the Golan Heights. Israel retaliated by striking 3 Hezbollah rocket launchers.
Israel has tripled its attacks on Hezbollah targets in the last 3 weeks.
Wednesday, Mar. 13, 2024 (Day 159): The one hundred-fourth day of the resumed war.

Israel’s Defense Min. said we are getting closer to an invasion of Rafah.
He said, “We will bring every single person involved in the October 7 massacre to justice – we will either kill them or try them in Israel. There is no safe space, not here, not outside GGaza, not across the entire Middle East.”
FYI: God does not send anyone to Hell (all of us are born with a sin nature and destined to go to Hell because we sin), but God has provided a way (Jesus) for everyone to go to Heaven (and He is the only way to get there; John 14:6).

Finally, are you Rapture Ready?

If you want to be rapture ready and go to heaven, you must be born again (John 3:3). God loves you, and if you have not done so, sincerely admit that you are a sinner; believe that Jesus is the virgin-born, sinless Son of God who died for the sins of the world, was buried, and raised from the dead; ask Him to forgive your sins, cleanse you, come into your heart and be your Saviour; then tell someone that you have done this.

Genesis and the Pre-Tribulation Rapture
By Angel Torres
Published on: March 6, 2024
Researched by Pastor Gary Boyd
March 12, 2024


If you read through the New Testament, you’ll quickly notice how its various authors point their readers back to the first Book of the Bible: Genesis. Peter, Paul, and the Lord Jesus Christ all interpreted Genesis 1-11 as real, literal history. In fact, the Lord Jesus draws a fascinating parallel between the calling up of the Church from this world (the pre-tribulation Rapture) and the dramatic events that occurred during Noah’s life.

Consider how Jesus used the historical backdrop of Genesis 6-9 to illustrate an important truth about the pre-tribulation Rapture: “But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be” (Matt. 24:37-39 KJV).

There are a number of details that we can unpack from Jesus’ statement(s) here, but I’d like to begin by pointing out the context of what was going on during Noah’s day. According to Genesis 6:5, “the wickedness of man was great in the earth.” This was a time of immense wickedness and moral depravity. Demonic activity was interfering with the created order (Gen. 6:1-2), and the hearts of men were dead set on doing evil continually in the sight of God, demonstrating a full-scale rejection of the Creator and His laws.

In the words of Martyn Iles, “We crave the status of Creator. We want to redefine what he has already defined. We have forgotten that we are dust.”

Certainly, the men and women of Noah’s day were content with living as they saw fit, choosing to forge their own way in this world and forgetting that it was God who set the standard for how human beings are to live.

Interestingly, Jesus shares some details of what people were occupying themselves with in the days that led up to the Deluge: they were eating, drinking, and partaking in marriage. We know that God’s perfect design for marriage had already been corrupted and compromised by man (refer to Gen. 4:23) by the time Noah had been born, so it’s likely that many people were participating in polygamy and other perversions of God’s pattern for the one-man and one-woman union that He instituted in the Garden of Eden.

I think Jesus’ point, however, is that people were doing their usual routine when the waters of judgment suddenly fell upon them. They were so caught up in their normal, day-to-day affairs that they were unaware of the times in which they were living. It’s likely that their hearts had been so hardened from years of unrepentant, rampant sin that they were completely ignorant of eternity and the things of God.

This kind of ignorance was not an excusable ignorance, either, because we know from Scripture that all people are aware of God’s existence (Rom. 1:20) and possess a conscience that is capable of differentiating right from wrong. This kind of ignorance was a willing, intentional one brought about by constant rebellion against God and His Word. As a result, Noah’s generation was blindsided by the onset of the Flood and the ensuing cataclysm.

Sadly, it seems as though many in our world today have also neglected the things of eternity in favor of what’s temporary and material. The Scriptures plainly teach that Christians should be on high alert for the coming of our Lord Jesus in the air (Lk. 21:34-36), especially since we do not know when this wonderful event might occur. It very well could be tonight, or it could be a few months from now. The reality is that we don’t know! Nevertheless, we can (and should) learn from Noah’s example so that we will be ready when our Lord comes back.

While the majority of people were busy in their routines, Noah was busy working on the Ark that God had commanded him to build. He was resolute in carrying out the task that God had given him to do, understanding the gravity of the situation (even though there hadn’t ever been a global Flood before). At the same time, Noah was also busy preaching the truth!

Peter referred to Noah as “a preacher of righteousness.” What an amazing testimony to have! There’s even an ancient Jewish tradition that purportedly reveals the contents of Noah’s preaching: “Be ye turned from your evil ways and works, lest the waters of the flood come upon you, and cut off all the seed of the children of men.” If there’s any truth to this statement, we can see that our forefather in the faith was preaching a message of repentance to his brothers and sisters in Adam. Noah was pleading with them to turn from their wickedness and kneel before God while there was still time.

I want us to ask ourselves this question now: are we encouraging people today to do just that? To turn from wickedness and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation while there is still time?

This should be the very heart of our evangelism efforts and outreach. Jesus is our ark of salvation, and He has invited all people to lean upon Him in true faith and repentance!

If perchance you are reading this article and the Rapture has already occurred, there is still hope for you yet. Flee to Christ for salvation as the very name of God is a strong tower and a place of refuge from danger (Prov. 18:10). Though the coming days will be difficult, you can rejoice and take comfort in knowing that your eternal destiny is secure with Christ, just as Noah and his family were secured by God aboard the ark.

As we wait for the coming of our Lord in the air, may we learn from His teaching and take His Word as He has written it. Genesis 1-11 is the historical foundation for the rest of the Bible, and it was Jesus who has given us a valuable lesson about our way out from the coming destruction by referring to the life of Noah and the events of the Flood. Jesus was not bringing up a fictional fable to articulate a real, eschatological event. He was pointing back to real history so as to warn those with ears to hear about the danger of missing the real Blessed Hope.

As soon as we start to spiritualize or allegorize elements of the Bible that are clearly literal events, this unlocks the door of compromise. Instead, a good understanding of God’s Word from beginning to end will allow us to better comprehend “all the counsel of God” (Acts 20:27) and point others to the Creator.

Christian Nationalists

The news media, radical leftists, and the Democratic Party are labeling conservative Christians as new Nazis. The direct term is “Christian Nationalists,” a radical brand of Christianity that is detrimental to the “state” because it believes the values of the Christian faith should be represented in government.

Politico investigative reporter Heidi Przybyla said on February 22nd’s edition of MSNBC’s “All In” that Christian nationalists, not Christians, believe rights come from God. She said they are problematic because “they believe that our rights as Americans, as all human beings, don’t come from any earthly authority; they don’t come from Congress; they don’t come from the Supreme Court; they come from God.”

This is antithetical to the American form of government. The Declaration of Independence clearly stated that no authority other than God gave us rights. The Declaration says:

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.”

This is the exact opposite of what Przbyla and her Marxist minions believe is the construct of American civil rights. From the time of Plato to Thomas Hobbes to John Locke in the 1600s, to our Founding Fathers in the 1700s to Marx in the 1800s, men attempted to define the need of government in society.

Plato wrote of a utopian communistic society, as did Hobbes, who used Biblical imagery in his essay “Leviathan” to describe the all-powerful government. Marx wanted to ban all religion. Their systems essentially focused on the idea that man is inherently evil and must be strongly governed by a “benevolent” sovereign. Locke, however, saw that God created man in his own image, gave him dominion over the earth, and gave him laws by which to live. Locke believed these inalienable God-given rights were those of life, freedom, and property. He believed that governments were needed to impartially enforce the laws of God. In other words, man would give up some of his freedom for the protection of government in civil society. Otherwise, he should be left to prosper by his own value add, which is his labor.

Founder John Adams said:

“Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious People. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”

The rule of law is the law of freedom instituted by God. When the law of God is written in our hearts, we want to do what is right because we embody the righteousness of God.

The law in stone—where man does what is right in his own eyes–results in the kind of culture we have today, where law is used to undermine families, religion, and the community as a whole.

May we be a Jeremiah 31:32 people as the Lord declared:

“I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.”

Christians participating in government and guided by God’s Word–Christian nationalism–is what the Founders intended. No wonder the enemies of God label it a threat.

Times of the Gentiles: Part 2
By Keith Watts

Feb. 12, 2024

This article will be about the Roman Empire, the Revised Roman Empire (this will be the last Gentile Empire), also the 1,000-year reign of Christ. Four Gentile Empires have passed into history, and one more to go. It seems to me this fifth empire is so close to coming to power. This one will start the seven-year tribulation period before Jesus comes to set up his kingdom. When Israel signs a seven-year peace treaty with the Antichrist, this will start the tribulation. The Antichrist will be over this kingdom. When this kingdom comes into power, Christians will not be here because Christ will take up his church to Heaven.

The Roman Empire

Daniel 2:33 “His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay.”

Daniel 2:40 “And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things: and as iron that breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise.”

Daniel 7:7 “After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.”

Eastern Empire from 330BC to 1453AD Western Empire from 330BC to 476AD.

This empire started with one city on the peninsula of Italy.

Verse 33 – His legs of iron. The two legs represent the split of the kingdom. The iron also represents the empire.

Daniel 2:40 and Daniel 7:7 describe the way they came into power. The Romans were brutal. In verse 40, they will be strong as iron breaks into pieces. If you do not know anything about the history of Roman soldiers, study it. The Bible is so true. They would rape and kill and destroy everything. Once they conquered you, they ruled with a rod of iron. You became their servant. The Jews would kill you by stoning you to death. The Romans would put you to death by crucifixion. This is probably the cruelest way to die. Notice at the end of verse 40, “shall it break in pieces and bruise.” Jesus’ heel was bruised for you and me on the cross. Of course, Jesus was alive at the time of this empire. Read 2:40 and then 7:7. Both of these verses say the same thing in describing the empire.

The Revised Roman Empire

Daniel 2:33 “His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay.”

Daniel 2:41 “And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters’ clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay.”

Daniel 2:42 “And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.”

Daniel 2:43 “And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.”

Daniel 7:24 “And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.”

Revelation 13:1 “And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.”

His feet are part of iron and part of clay. This kingdom will not be unified. I always thought the ten toes represented ten nations, but I believe it represents the whole world divided into ten sections. The UN has divided the world into ten sections; I have gone on the internet and looked at this. I believe this empire will be by far the most brutal kingdom in history. This empire will kill more Christians and people in history. This kingdom will be partly strong and partly broken. The Roman Empire was strong and unified, but this last Gentile Empire will not.

I want to look at the 10 toes and the 10 horns. Daniel 2:41,42 says 10 toes. Daniel 7:7, at the end of the verse, says, “and it had 10 horns.” Daniel 7:24 explains the 10 horns. One of the kings will take over 3 other kingdoms. So he will be in control of 4 sections, and there will be 6 sections left. Soon after this, he will be in control of the whole world. Revelation 13:1 explains the 10 horns.

1,000 years of the reign of Jesus Christ

Daniel 2:35 “Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.”

Daniel 2:44 “And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.”

Daniel 2:45 “Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure.”

Verse 35 – We will remember no more the Gentile Empires. I’m ready to forget them. I am ready to be in Jesus’ kingdom. What a wonderful time that will be. It says, “The wind will carry them away.” (Thank you, Jesus.) The stone became a great mountain. Jesus is this stone.

Verse 44 – In the days of these kings (the Antichrist), the Lord will set up his kingdom. No one will ever destroy this kingdom or take it away from Jesus. It will stand forever and ever.

Verse 45 – The stone cut out of the mountain WITHOUT HANDS. This stone was before Mary or even all of mankind. This stone was before the world existed. What is his name?

Daniel 7:22 “Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.”

The Ancient of days. WOW, I want to get back to the stone.

Romans 9:32 “Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumbling stone;”

Romans 9:33 “As it is written, Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.”

This same stone was a stumbling stone to the Jews. This stumbling stone was a rock of offense to them. They were trying to get to heaven through the law and not by faith through Jesus Christ.

Luke 20:17 “And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner?”

The stone was rejected, and he became the head of the corner. He is the head of the Church.

1 Corinthians 10:4 “And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.”

The Rock is Jesus. “Rock of Ages cleft for me. Let me hide myself in thee.” Moses hid behind the stone when the Lord passed by him.

In closing

Zechariah 14:16 “And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.”

Zechariah 14:17 “And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain.”

Jesus will rule and reign on this earth, and not one person will tell him what to do. Those who reject his kingdom, he will withhold rain from them.

In A Nutshell
By Dave Hubley

In the sixth chapter of the Book of Isaiah, the prophet received a vision, and his exposure to the Glory of the Lord of Hosts exposed the stark reality of his sin and iniquity to him.

When confronted with the Holiness of the One True God, he immediately confesses:

“Woe is me, for I am ruined, because I am a man of unclean lips dwelling among a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of Hosts” (Isaiah 6:5).

His acknowledgement and confession of his sin results in him being cleansed. He is told that his “iniquity has been removed and his sin atoned for” (v7).

This cleansing results in the Lord accepting him as a messenger when Isaiah volunteers to serve the Lord by delivering a message to His people Israel:

“Go and tell this people, ‘Be ever hearing, but never understanding; be ever seeing, but never perceiving.’ Make the hearts of this people calloused; deafen their ears and close their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts, and turn and be healed” (V9-10).

“Then I asked: ‘How long, O Lord?’ And He replied: Until the cities lie ruined and without inhabitant, until the houses are left unoccupied and the land is desolate and ravaged, until the LORD has driven men far away and the land is utterly forsaken. And though a tenth remains in the land, it will be burned again. As the terebinth and oak leave stumps when felled, so the holy seed will be a stump in the land” (v11-13).

This message (prophesy in reality) was dutifully delivered by Isaiah as well as many wonderful prophetic messages about the coming Messiah (see Isaiah Chapters 9:2-7 and 52:7-15 through 53:1-12).

2,700+/- years after Isaiah was tasked with this message, the world responds in the same way to the Gospel message, and the result will be the same as it was then: Rejection, disbelief, indifference, denial, rebellion, and the list of negatives go on.

Now that we have arrived in 2024, let’s unpack a few things from these Scriptures and see what, if anything, has changed.

The first is: If an individual is determined to deny the Truth of God’s Word, likely no amount of empirical evidence, no matter how indisputable it might be, will change their mind. 2+2 will not be 4 if they have determined that it could also be 5, etc.

This is not an arrogant statement by me but a Scriptural Truth.

“But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned” (1 Corinthians 2:14).

I would say to anyone who has not received God’s Son as Savior, and that may read this article: read on! Perhaps you do not realize that your rebellious attitude may have a few cracks in it. If it does, then God will surely seek to bring you to the living proof of His love for you in Jesus Christ.

The below statements are made in consideration of the possibility that the reader might possess a modicum of spiritual awareness that can lead to Salvation.

Perhaps you are not so much the “natural man” that you can’t be reached.

We know that, by God’s own Word, He is from everlasting to everlasting, and He does not change. “For I, the LORD, do not change” (Malachi 3:6a).

We know that from the beginning of creation, God has determined the future and that current events unfolding in real-time prove that fact every day.

“Remember the former things long past, For I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is no one like Me, Declaring the end from the beginning, And from ancient times things which have not been done, Saying, ‘My purpose will be established, And I will accomplish all My good pleasure’” (Isaiah 46:9-10).

He has also made it clear that Jews and Gentiles ultimately will share equally in the blessings of the Gospel and the Glory of Jesus Christ.

“This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are fellow heirs, fellow members of the body, and fellow partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus” (Ephesians 3:6).

He has also made it clear that all, Jews and Gentiles, will be made one for eternity.

“He did this to create in Himself one new man out of the two, thus making peace and reconciling both of them to God in one body through the cross, by which He extinguished their hostility” (Ephesians 2:15-16). Emphasis by me.

In consideration of these realities of the Word of God, let’s examine the verses from Isaiah 6 in the light of present-day circumstances.

The message given to the Hebrews in (Isaiah 6:9-11) can easily be applied to the world today. How long has the Word of God been available in its present form in almost every language, yet it is largely ignored or disbelieved by a major percentage of the earth’s population?
In many “Christian” churches in the world today, the pews are filled with those who are “ever hearing but never perceiving” and whose hearts are calloused and being hardened by many of them to ignore the clear teaching of prophecy.
God’s answer to Isaiah’s question: “How Long, Oh Lord?” conveys the same sadness that Jesus expressed over the future of Jerusalem:

“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those sent to her, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were unwilling! Look, your house is left to you desolate” (Matthew 23:37-38a). Emphasis added by me.

The world of Gentile nations, as well as present-day Israel, will largely continue to be unwilling to listen just as ancient Israel was, even to the same end: “Until the cities lie ruined and without inhabitant, until the houses are left unoccupied and the land is desolate and ravaged, until the LORD has driven men far away and the land is utterly forsaken.”

Thus, Isaiah 6:11-13, in harmony with the judgments of the Book of Revelation, Chapters 4:1- 20:15, indicates that the world of men, who deny the Lord Jesus Christ, and instead place their vain hope and misplaced trust in he who will turn out to be the antichrist, offers no real hope at all.

In a nutshell: who does this message contained in the Book of Isaiah, really apply to, and what has changed since these prophecies were delivered by Isaiah?

Rejection of God and His Son Jesus, rebellion, mockery, and depravity have exponentially increased and have now attained horrifying levels.
Conditions defined by the Word of God by Jesus Himself in (Matthew 24:4-7), as well as the Apostle Paul in the Book of 2 Timothy 3:1-5, have become obvious and are everyday occurrences today.
In short, things have deteriorated and continue at an ever-increasing rate.

These conditions will cause the Lord to execute the judgments of Revelation 4:1-20:15 against the entire world.

The mirroring messages of judgment shared by Isaiah 6 (general) and Revelation 4:1–20:15 (detailed) share a common truth: that mankind will continue in worsening rebellion and rejection of God’s plan of Salvation in Jesus Christ for the same reasons that the Book of Genesis recorded prior to the flood, and that rejection will bring about God’s judgment again, this time for the final time.

Now to the crux of this article.

You do not have to live in the hopeless state of those who refuse to accept the Truth of the Word of God.

One small example of the promise of hope, while surrounded by apparent hopelessness, is planted by the Spirit of God in the short Book of Titus.

“In hope of eternal life which God, who cannot lie, promised before time began” (Titus 1:2). Emphasis added by me.

“Put no more trust in man, who has only the breath in his nostrils. Of what account is he?” (Isaiah 2:22).

The Bible, the Word of God, is the only source of predictive future prophecy that has never failed to come to pass in its proper time with 100% accuracy.

Could anyone but He who controls the future accomplish this? El Shaddai: God Almighty?

“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope” (Jeremiah 29:11).

You can be included in His promised future and hope.

“Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me” (Revelation 3:20). Emphasis added by me.

“Anyone,” Jesus says. Unlike man, God means what He says and always keeps His Word.

Set aside your fear. Open your door and Live.

The special message I promised you:

For anyone who may read this article and has not trusted in Jesus Christ and therefore has no hope or peace in your life.

You can have hope. You can have the peace that Jesus has promised to all who have made Him their Lord and Savior. The peace that passes understanding.

It requires that you come before God on His terms.

And, what are His terms according to His Word?

Genuine repentance (turning to God instead of continuing to reject or ignore Him).
Confession of sins (that you are a sinner and acknowledge that to God).
That you understand that the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23).
To acknowledge to God that you are unable to pay that debt.
Belief that Jesus Christ paid your death sentence for you on the cross.
To believe that Jesus is the Way, the only Way, that God has established by which humans may be saved from the consequences of their sin and rebellion.
God has made it absolutely clear that there is no one who comes before Him, under His terms, that will be refused.

No one: no race, no color, no country of origin, regardless of any previous belief system: no one.
No matter what your past sins have been, God can and WILL forgive you because He says He will.
Salvation is available to everyone without any exceptions.
If you put all your trust for salvation in Jesus, and Him only, you can follow that prayer up by simply saying, “Thank you, Father God, for hearing my prayer and saving me,” because we can trust Him to keep His Word. He always has. He always will.

“Truly, Truly, I say to you that he who hears My words and believes the One who sent Me has eternal life and will not be condemned. He has crossed from death to life” (John 5:24).

There are no answers and there is no hope in the world by governments, organizations, politics or politicians. There are only lies and deception. But you can have the Truth and the peace you seek.

The answers are in the Word of God—The Bible. If you ask God, with all your heart, He will hear you.

“And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart” (Jeremiah 29:13).

How to Demon Proof Your Life
By Jango
Researched by Pastor Gary Boyd
Jan. 25, 2024

We don’t have to put up with demons harassing us, causing trouble in our life, or oppressing us. We can be free of them and here’s how you can do it. Proclaim in a loud voice that you no longer want to have anything to do with the devil or his demons. Proclaim that you are a child of God and that you serve Jesus. Tell all devils and demons that in the name of Jesus, by the blood of Christ and the Word of God they are to have nothing whatsoever to do with you, your family, your mind, your possessions, your work, your home, and anything else that is yours. And tell God that according to Hebrews 1:14 if any demons don’t comply, that He should send angels to grab them and hold them till the day of judgment. Give God a standing order to do this whenever they disobey as you will NOT tolerate their disobedience to this. This is Hebrews 1:14 Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation? We need their help when we are dealing with demons because we don’t have access to their realm but they do.
Many years ago I erected a cage made of steel bars which is in the heavenlies. Whenever any demons would attack me, I would ask God according to Hebrews 1:14 to catch those little suckers and throw them into my cage. One day several years ago, in a moment of weakness, I released all the demons that I was holding. Wow, was that ever a mistake. Soon after that it seemed like all hell broke loose in my life. I sure learned a good lesson there. After that, I made sure that I Never

released any of them. In fact, I took a few real bad ones and sandwiched them between two metal grills which I placed upright and fastened so it would not move from its place and placed a sign above it that reads “This is what happens to any demons that attack John”. It is still up there and the demons are still squished in there and will be until the day of judgment. They really hate this because they like being free as anyone does, but I have put them in “jail” where they belong so now they can’t torment anyone else.
So whenever something suspicious happens in my life, I always say “Lord, IF this was caused by a demon, I pray that you would send angels to grab those little suckers and throw them into my cage.”

Sometimes things happen due to circumstances or by the luck of the draw, but just in case it was demons, I make sure they don’t get away with it. If you do this and are very consistent at it, once the devils and demons know that this will be their fate if they cause you any trouble, believe me…. they won’t. A word of caution. If you live a life where you are dabbling in sin, you will attract demons. So don’t be a hypocrite and play both sides of the fence or you could get in real bad trouble with those demons. Remember what happened to the Seven Sons of Sceva in Acts 19? Don’t put yourself in a sinful position or you will not have authority over them. If you are not a believer look up sinner's prayer online say it & believe it and you will be saved. You need to be in order to have this authority in Jesus’ name.

When Is the Last Generation?
Are The Baby Boomers To See the Return of Christ?
By Howard Bass

The history of the world and mankind is about 6,000 years. The Bible – the written record of God’s Word – gives us information from the Creation up until the time of the Flood in Noah’s day, about 1,656 years after, that cannot be known otherwise by whatever historical records and archeology there might have been since the Flood would have destroyed them. (Similarly, Jewish people today – including some false Messiahs – cannot trace their Israeli tribal lineage back before the destruction of the Second Temple, because the records kept there were destroyed in the fire.)

Sunday was the 100th day of Israel's war against Hamas in Gaza, and of the hostages being inhumanely held captive by unrepentant terrorists who have committed obscene brutality upon them, and on others murdered but not kidnapped. There are also other fronts within and surrounding the country that actively threaten Israel and the Jewish people, and violent disorder around the world in the name of “justice.”

The world as we have known it is spiraling out of control. Evil-doers are becoming more open, without the fear of God or of law. So the scriptures tell us. No doubt, God will save many during these terrifying times, but it is also written that only a remnant is saved. The emphasis, though, is that a great falling away – apostasy – will take place; and it is already manifesting. The falling away is from truth; from God as the Creator; from the faith; from covenant faithfulness – not only to YHVH’s covenants, but also in marriage; apostasy from being supportive of Israel even though God has chosen them as His witnesses to glorify His Name and to bless the world.

These things are not only so in “the world” but also within Israel itself and within the Body of Christ. It is happening quickly even now, in front of our very eyes. Yet, Yeshua is still in control! All authority has been given to Him from the Father, in heaven and on the earth. The stars will eventually fall from heaven, but Jesus is still in control! We who believe in Him must never lose sight or faith or hope in that! God has HIS plan, and will finish it right on time!

YHVH, the God of Creation, has given us prophecies and promises of His plan of redemption for His chosen people and land Israel, as well as some time markers for believers to take into account, so we can be prepared. At His first coming, Yeshua/Jesus came at an appointed time, and in “the fullness of time,” which He said that the Jewish people should have been aware of (Dan 9:24-27; Lk 19:41-44; Gal 4:4-5). It is written that the sons of Issachar “understood the times they were living in, and knew what Israel should do” (1Chron 12:32). Before Yeshua was crucified, His closest disciples asked Him: “When will these things be, and the sign of your, and the end of the age?” (Mt 24:3). We, too, even moreso, should ask for wisdom and understanding of the times in which we live, and know what the Body of Messiah/Christ should do!

After explaining the events and their sequence of the “last generation,” Jesus gave the parable of the 10 virgins – believers – who all went to sleep while the bridegroom was delayed. When the midnight cry came that the bridegroom is coming, all the virgins woke up, but only half of them were prepared to meet him, and the others were shut out of the wedding (Mt 25:1-13). The Messiah/Christ warns us to watch, because we do not know the exact day and hour when He will come. But if He tells us to watch, then there are signs to see and recognize that the time is close; so we should be prepared, especially mentally and spiritually, and not be caught off guard and unprepared. (This is what happened with Israel when Hamas surprised us with a horrific sneak attack on Oct. 7, 2023, with devastating consequences.)

The “last days” have been nearly 2,000 years now, beginning with the death and resurrection of the Lord. So, when is the last generation? I believe that we are in it now. What are the signs and indications that this generation is the last one before the Lord’s return in great power and glory? Jesus spoke of many things to expect near the end that affect the social fabric, destructive natural events, signs in the sun and moon and stars – things happening all together in a historically short period. I will provide some time indicators that the Bible gives, or which lend support to them. (I will not go into great detail, but enough for you to check yourselves, and also to pray for understanding, if needed.)

1. Mt 24:32-35; Ps 90:9-10: The fig tree is a symbol of national Israel; i.e., the Jewish people living in the land of YHVH God’s covenant promise (Hos 9:10; Jer 24; 8:13; Mk 11:12-24; 13:28-31). Jesus says the generation that sees the fig tree blossom will see “all these things take place” which He gave that must take place in the last generation leading to His return. The Jewish people have been returning and living in the land and State of Israel since May 1948. It will soon be 76 full years since that time. Israel has survived and thrived since then, despite all of its wars, and all of the efforts to destroy it. As a corporate “person,” the expected lifetime generation of a man/Israel is 70 years, and with strength, 80 years. The fig tree has been blossoming, and we are the generation that has been seeing it!

Hos 5:15; 6:1-3; 2Pt 3:8-10 [1-18]; Ps 90:3-4; Mt 23:37-39: God spoke through the prophet Hosea that He (YHVH) would return to His place until the Jewish people acknowledge their guilt against Him. They will seek His face to see Him when they are in distress. The prophet goes on to say that the people will return when they acknowledge that for two days God has struck and torn them, but it is He who will heal them, and revive them after the two days, and on the third day, He will raise them up to live in His presence. Yeshua said that Jerusalem – His city, His people and nation – would not see Him again until they bless Him who comes in the name of YHVH! He is the One who comes in that Name. Now they curse Yeshua’s name as a religious people (“Yeshu”), but the day will come when they will bless His holy name, and never depart from Him again! The New Covenant promise is that YHVH God will forgive them for all their iniquity, sins, and transgressions, and they will be His holy people! (Jer 31:31-37; Heb 8:7-12; Rom 11:25-36).

Moses wrote in Psalm 90, and Peter wrote in his second epistle, that a day with the LORD is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. For Him, a thousand years is a very short time, and for us it is a long time. In Hosea, the LORD said that He would return to His place until His people accept their trespass against Him. (see also Lev 26:40-45; Mic 5:1-4; Lk 22:63-65; Mt 27:15-26; Zec 12:10-14.) (Note: None of these pre-ordained and foretold offenses are to be used as justification for antisemitism! Jesus asked the Father to forgive them, for they did not know what they were doing. That is the new covenant message when speaking the truth of the gospel to the Jewish people.)

When did the LORD/YHVH return to His place after His people’s most serious sin against Him?: In 30 AD, Jesus ascended back to Heaven 40 days after His resurrection on the third day from His sacrificial death on the cross. How many “days” have passed since then? Almost two: Israel will be 80 years old in 2028; the “third day” will begin in 2030. No one knows the day and hour, but watching – as we work and battle – we can see that the coming of the Lord is not that far off, using the written Word of God for our light, with the help of the Holy Spirit to live in the context of God’s plan of redemption for His people, and for the whole of Creation.

What a blessed hope we have in a world actively and openly opposing the triune God and His sovereignty! There is an end to this! There is a 1,000-year Sabbath rest for the people of God, and the whole of Creation, to be followed by the eternal Day of Light for those who are in God’s family (Rom 8:18-25; Heb 4:8-13; Is 65:17-25; Rev 20:1-6; 21). The devil, who was defeated by the Son of God’s death on the cross, knows that he can do nothing to hinder or prevent the return of the Lord Jesus Christ: The Father has set a time, and there is no thing that can or will prevent Yeshua’s return right on time; and the Holy Spirit will have seen to it that all has been taken care of by that mo’ed; but Satan wants to take as many captives as he can with him, and to neutralize the saints from our expectation and our testimony.

Jesus said that 'blessed is that servant found doing what he was given to do until his Lord returns' but evil is the servant who thinks and acts as if his Lord is delaying His return (Mt 24:45-51). As the day nears, we are not to forsake the assembling together with other believers. We are not to go wait on a hill, or hide away somewhere simply hoping to survive and avoid any suffering. We are to have an understanding so that we might help others make sense of what is happening, and to continue to evangelize and disciple until the end of the age, and continue to sanctify ourselves as the pure and spotless Bride of the Lamb.

May God have mercy on us and help us as we depend upon Him, in the power of the resurrection and the fellowship of His suffering, loving Him above all. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!

The Creator of the Universe has a plan of redemption, and is carrying it out unto its completion. The falling away from truth and the faith once delivered to the saints (Jude 1:3-4), the revelation/seeing of the Antichrist (Mt 24:15-22; 2Thes 2:1-5), and the coming Day of YHVH/the LORD, when the Redeemer, the Lord Jesus Christ/Yeshua the Messiah, will return to judge the nations and the enemies of His people (Acts 17:30-31), is the context for what is taking place in the world today, and for how we should live in the light of that coming day of Christ/Messiah. It is often said that “God has a plan for your life!” Yes, He does, and it is how my life, our lives, fit into HIS plan for this world, and for the world to come. Let us be found faithful when the Son of Man returns.

Despite Christians, for many generations and years, hoping that Jesus might return in their time – and He did not – there is a last generation when He does. The last prayer of the Bible is calling upon Him to come. In his second letter to Timothy, Paul encourages those that love the hope of Jesus’ return (2Tim 4:6-8). Why wouldn’t you want Him to return during your generation? This exhortation is for all of us, so that we will not unprepared but, as a bride, longing for and looking for our Bridegroom to come. Our children and our grandchildren and our great-grandchildren need this faith and hope and love in this last generation.

Now Earthquakes & Signs in The Skies

Quick! Open one of the Bibles you have in your house on the bookshelf, coffee table, closet, or attic – the one left by Paw paw.

Now check out this verse in the book of Joel – the Joel in the Old Testament, for goodness’ sake! The verse of scripture in the book of Joel reads like this: “And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke…. Now, quick, check out the world news on your laptop. Do you see any resemblance between the things on the internet and that verse?!

Tennessee, Los Angeles, and Arkansas are experiencing earthquakes, as well as the northeastern states, to say nothing of huge earthquakes in China and Iran – among other small ones here and there.

As for the rain that is inundating the world, Jesus warned us with this parable, “And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell; and great was the fall of it.”

Of course, he was speaking of the spiritual implications. Yet we are seeing the physical aspects play out all across the planet, resulting in great and fearful sorrow and wondering when the rains will end.

In Budapest, the Danube River threatens to flood the city, running over its banks. Thailand, too, is inundated by unrelenting rain, as the central coast of California reels like a drunken sailor from earthquakes, while China has just experienced a 6.2 earthquake between Gansu and Qinghai provinces.

Now type anomalies in the skies or UFOs; next, go to earthquakes, and if your heart hasn’t failed you yet, type in war – it’s spelled with only one r – as in red. Smoke comes from war and earthquakes. There you have it, and unless you are blind, you can’t miss it.

Now Oahu and Maui are flooded and are experiencing hurricane-force winds. At the same time, Hezbollah is lobbing bombs from Lebanon all along the northern border of Israel. Meanwhile, Syria and the Houthis continue to lob guided missiles toward Jerusalem – one of which could destroy the Dome of the Rock inadvertently. Then, there would be hell to pay as the Muslim entity blames it on the Israelites.

We, my dear friends, are living in the end times with the Tribulation period right around the corner. Tribulation is spelled trib… but you don’t need that information since you, having received Jesus Christ as your Savior, will be able to watch these events take place from the safety of heaven after you’ve been taken away in what’s called the rapture – or “Parousia,” (not sure of the spelling since it is a Greek word – I think) for those of you who are scholars.

I know that the rapture is something new for you since it was only spoken of since the early 20s – but how could you not believe it if Jesus said two will be working in the field, one taken and the other one left? Or the parable of the bridesmaids, which can only mean one thing – that Jesus will come like a thief in the night to take away His (bride’s) own and that no man knows the day nor the hour – so be prepared!

Now to further make my case, here is a tidbit of information you should know. The Bible also says that knowledge and information will be vastly increased as the end times approach. Thus, it speaks of the internet with its bewildering and mind-boggling information from around the world and beyond. With the James Webb telescope letting us know what is in the furthest reaches of the universe, we are beginning to see what things are out there, including a tic-tac-like object that some astronomers and scientists speculate is God’s home! But can God the creator be confined in any sense of the word? I, for one, think not.

While here on earth, we human beings are seeing more and more weird phenomena in our skies (anomalies and such). It is becoming more apparent that we are not alone and that something is going on out there, such as weird cloud formations, UFOs, and sounds (if you believe in the veracity of some of the articles on the internet, many of which are hoaxes or the rants of some drugged out phony with nothing better to do.

But WAIT! THIS JUST IN…

Now in South Carolina, Georgia, and Jonesboro, Tennessee, and in Hawaii, where a 4.4 rattled windows. If this news doesn’t make your knees buckle, Kim Jong-Un asks his people to prepare for war just when Israel is mopping up the terrorist troublemakers in Gaza.

I would ask – what’s the occasion? It seems everyone wants to fight.

Don’t discount what the Bible says about all these events, but remember that Jesus said, “When you see these things begin to happen, look up, for your redemption draws nigh.” He also said, “Don’t be afraid, for I have overcome the world.” Which is to say that he has everything under control and is coming for His elect (you and I) to whisk us away in the rapture, after which all hell is going to break loose during the seven years of tribulation.

Before closing, this news is BREAKING:

Today, Joe Biden warned that the United States is at risk of being pulled into a direct conflict with Russia if the Kremlin succeeds in its war against Ukraine.

Hey, that sounds fishy to me since he just met with Zalinsky behind closed doors in Washington, and since he couldn’t continue funding Zelinsky’s war – the ultimatum was to help us, or else we’ll spill the beans about Burisma. This is like a spy movie filled with political intrigue.

(Former Comic) Zel: Since you can’t get my money, maybe you could join us in our war with Putin; that would take the heat off you and Fredo, your son, and you would be a war hero!… That is, if you win!

Joe: Let me ask my son what he thinks. He’s as slick as they come, ha, ha. We’ll be going on vacation soon.

Zel: What, again?

So, if you have any sense at all, repent, receive Christ, and prepare for the most breathtaking ride of your life as the rapture and then the tribulation period approaches.

More than 3,700 years ago, the grandson of Abraham brought his twelve sons to him and said,

Gather together, that I may tell you what shall befall you in the last days….

“In the last days” is specific, but it is doubtful that Jacob, whose name was changed to Israel, had any idea how far into the future that would be. Apart from a revelation from God, no human being could possibly know what to expect of his progeny so far into the future. Now here is the prophecy for his son Judah, meaning the Jews.

Your hand shall be on the neck of your enemies; Judah is a lion’s whelp; from the prey, my son, you have gone up. He bows down, he lies down as a lion; and as a lion, who shall rouse him? The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh comes; and to Him shall be the obedience of the people (Genesis 49:8–10).

Note that the promised lawgiver—that is, the Messiah—would come from the Jews, and he did 1,700 years later. Many recognize this, but what about the part that describes the “time of the end” when the Jews would be as a lion that is best not roused? Is that not the history of the last 75 years and what we see even now? Dear friends, there are even more specific prophecies were given 2,500 years ago by the prophet Zechariah. Notice what God foretold through him in chapter 12 and verses 2–3:

Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of drunkenness to all the surrounding peoples, when they lay siege against Judah [that is, the Jews] and Jerusalem. And it shall happen in that day that I will make Jerusalem a very heavy stone for all peoples; all who would heave it away will surely be cut in pieces, though all nations of the earth are gathered against it (Zechariah 12:2–3).

Consider how specific and remarkable this passage is. Note these five points:

The Jews will be in Jerusalem

That was far from a given—it has not always been that way. The Romans destroyed Jerusalem in 70 AD and expelled Jews from the Holy Land in 135 AD. For more than 1,800 years there was no Jewish state—not anywhere on earth. As Richard Ames explains in The Middle East in Prophecy:

… Jerusalem was in the hands of Byzantine rulers when it fell to a Muslim army led by Caliph Umar in 638. This crusade brought Jerusalem under Western control in the “Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem,” which held the city from 1099 to 1187, when Saladin reconquered Jerusalem for Islam. Later crusades brought Jerusalem briefly under Western control from 1229 to 1239, and from 1243 to 1244, when it was sacked by the Tatars. In 1247, the city fell to the Egyptian Mamluks, under whose control it remained until 1517, when Ottoman sultan Selim I conquered the city (The Middle East in Prophecy, p. 3).

In 1917, the British took control, and through a series of events, the Holy Land was partitioned, giving the Jews a portion of it. They declared their independence to form a Jewish homeland in 1948. Arab neighbors immediately attacked and tried to drive the Jews out, but the lion rose up and prevailed.

So while we may take it for granted that there is a Jewish state on the eastern end of the Mediterranean, it was not always so, not from 135 AD until 1948. But what else do we learn from Zechariah?

And it shall happen in that day that I will make Jerusalem a very heavy stone for all peoples (Zechariah 12:3).

Now, is that true, my friends? When this was written, Christianity was more than 500 years in the future, and Islam nearly 600 years after Christianity. Yet today, Jerusalem is at the heart of three religions—Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. All lay claim to Jerusalem. It truly is a troublesome stone—the great sticking point in all peace talks.

… all who would heave it away [the heavy stone of Jerusalem] will surely be cut in pieces (Zechariah 12:3).

Remember Jacob’s prediction that in the last days Judah would be like a resting lion that is best not aroused? In 1967, Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nassar threatened Israel by moving troops to Israel’s border. Jordan and Syria would join the fight, but the Jews struck pre-emptively and defeated their enemies on all sides in a mere six days. In 1973 Israel’s neighbors attacked on the most sacred Jewish Holy Day—Yom Kippur—when the Jews were weak from fasting. But once again, they cut their enemies in pieces.

PREDICTIONS ABOUT JERUSALEM, JUDAH, AND ISRAEL COMING TRUE

What’s ahead in the Middle East as we enter 2024? What does the Bible have to say about it? As we are seeing, quite a bit. So far, we’ve seen three lessons from Zechariah 12.

The Jews will be in Jerusalem.

Jerusalem would be a very heavy stone in the world (Zechariah 12:3).

… all who would heave it away [the heavy stone of Jerusalem] will surely be cut in pieces (Zechariah 12:3).

Now let’s look at another point from Zechariah 12:

… though all nations of the earth are gathered against it [that is, Israel](Zechariah 12:3).

Are all nations gathered against the Jews? There are more United Nations resolutions condemning Israel than all other countries combined. And consider the massive demonstrations taking place all over the world against the Jews—in Russia, in China, in Germany, in France, in the United States, in Australia, in Britain.

The father of the Jews prophesied 3,700 years ago that they would be a powerful military force. They would be like a lion that is best not aroused. This is also confirmed in Zechariah 12:6:

In that day I will make the governors of Judah like a firepan in the woodpile, and like a fiery torch in the sheaves; they shall devour all the surrounding peoples on the right hand and on the left, but Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place—Jerusalem (Zechariah 12:6).

This has hardly been the Jewish history until the last 75 years! So, we next read number five,

The Jews ability to wield great military might

Dear friends, these are remarkable prophesies, but there is more. Despite their military prowess, there is coming a time in the near future when Jerusalem will be overrun by the Jews’ enemies. What happened October 7, 2023 will happen in Jerusalem. Zechariah 14 gives the details.

Behold, the day of the LORD is coming, and your spoil will be divided in your midst. For I will gather all the nations to battle against Jerusalem; the city shall be taken, the houses rifled, and the women ravished. Half of the city shall go into captivity, but the remnant of the people shall not be cut off from the city (Zechariah 14:1–2).

Note that Jerusalem today is a divided city, just as the prophet indicated when he said “Half the city shall go into captivity.” Again, Zechariah speaks of the world lining up against the Jews. Revelation 11:2 tells us that Jerusalem would be overrun by the Gentiles for a period of 3½ years leading up to the return of Jesus Christ, the Messiah.

But leave out the court which is outside the temple, and do not measure it, for it has been given to the Gentiles. And they will tread the holy city underfoot for forty-two months (Revelation 11:2).

The time setting of Zechariah 14 is yet future. It’s that 3½ year period of the Great Tribulation and the one-year day of the LORD when God’s wrath on rebellious mankind leads to Christ’s second coming. This is stated explicitly in verse 4:

And in that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, which faces Jerusalem on the east. And the Mount of Olives shall be split in two, from east to west, making a very large valley; half of the mountain shall move toward the north and half of it toward the south (Zechariah 14:4).

And if that is not clear enough, here is what it tells us in verse 9:

And the LORD shall be King over all the earth. In that day it shall be—“The LORD is one,” and His name one (Zechariah 14:9).

Israel’s Destiny

The article presented here was written some years ago. It was at that time and continues to be meant to inform the Jewish people of their God-ordained destiny. Because God’s Word is absolutely true, the matters involving His chosen nation have not been proven to have fallen by the wayside of history. God’s Word on the Jewish people has only increased in veracity. That is, each and every passing day, God’s Word about Israel issues forth ever stronger Proof that God’s promises to that people—and to all believers in Jesus Christ—will come to pass. All that’s going on at present, with the building worldwide hatred and satanically driven genocidal ranting by even deluded American university students, gives validation that Jesus Christ is on the very brink of calling believers to Himself as He promised:

“And when you see all these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your head, for your redemption is drawing near” (Luke 21:28).

Israel’s Destiny

Israel is the one nation in human history that the Creator of all things chose to be “a people unto himself”:

“For thou [art] an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that [are] upon the face of the earth” (Deuteronomy 7:6).

Jehovah made promises to the patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob that are staggering in their implications. He promised to bless those who bless the nation that would spring from the loins of these men, and warned about His curse for those who cursed those people. God said to Abraham:

“Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee: And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed” (Genesis 12:1-3).

Certainly, this promise can easily be verified as coming true throughout recorded history. The modern record, as a matter of fact, is contemporary proof of the veracity of the Almighty and His prophetic promises. Historians–except those blinded by the great deceiver, Lucifer—concede, sometimes reluctantly, that Israel’s history in ancient times was a record of greatness. David’s and Solomon’s exploits and accomplishments are legendary but built upon archaeological facts. Israel has achieved greatness among the nations of this earthly sphere.

One point over which secular historians, at the minimum, raise eyebrows of skepticism is that man received laws and moral codes through Moses, the son of Abraham. Most give Hammurabi’s Code that honor. But those who believe that God is who He is know that the great human deliverer of the chosen people came down from Sinai with rules for living life, given by the God of Heaven to His creation. Particularly, the Ten Commandments were meant for Israel to follow as fealty to their God, and as example to the rest of the world.

God’s promise to make Israel a great nation and to bless all other nations through His chosen people has come true. The United States, for example, has the Ten Commandments upon its walls within government buildings–including the Supreme Court. America, despite the anti-God forces who want to destroy the nation’s moral underpinnings—continues to lead the world in most areas of improvement of the human condition. This is due to the Ten Commandments’ influence upon American ethics and achievement. But, it goes profoundly deeper.

Much of America’s successes in technological, medical, and every other category of progress has been contributed by members of the Jewish race. We don’t have to look far to find them. I’ll just mention the most obvious: Albert Einstein, the German-born genius-physicist who became an American citizen. No more than a cursory study will show, indelibly, that God’s Word is true, when He followed through on the promise to make the people of the book the head of all peoples:

“And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do [them]” (Deuteronomy 28:13).

Then what about the maltreatment, the genocide, against the Jewish race down through the millennia, particularly during the twentieth century? This doesn’t appear to be God making Israel the head of all nations. Here is where God placed some conditions upon the people He chose as destined to become the head of all others. Note the last of the above promise:

“…if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do [them].”

God will make Israel the head of all nations if they will listen to His instructions and commandments. Not only is that where the nation has strayed, but it is where those who say that God is through with Israel–that the Jewish race is no longer God’s chosen—have also strayed. God’s Word says ALL have sinned and come short of the glory of God. All have strayed–both Jews AND Gentiles.

Israel’s detractors within Christianity say the Jews rejected their Messiah in His first visitation. Therefore, they say, Jehovah has written off the Jews and the nation Israel. The Israel in the land surrounding Jerusalem since May 14, 1948, is not the Israel of the promises, the detractors say; modern Israel is but an imposter, and God considers it no more within His prophecy for future national or racial greatness than He considers any of modern Israel’s blood-vowed enemies.

Absolutely nothing could be farther from the truth. It is true that Israel of Jesus Christ’s day rejected Him as Messiah. It is equally true that those of His own race, the Jews, cried, “Crucify him!”—which convinced the Romans to crucify Jesus. But God’s Word says every person is a sinner. We are born into sin–because Adam, the physical father of humankind, disobeyed God in the Garden of Eden. Again, God’s Word says that “all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.”

The Jews, as a race, are no guiltier than my race, which is Gentile. We all, as the human race, put Jesus Christ to death on the cruel Roman cross. He came to earth, sent by His Father, the God of Heaven, to offer Himself as the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. Jesus the Christ–the Jews’ Messiah—came to fulfill all Mosaic Law, the Ten Commandments. In Christ, we can now believe, and our sins are cleansed, washed away by Christ’s sacrifice for eternity. Through His shed blood, we ALL–Jew and Gentile–are in the family of God forever.

But, each individual must accept this grace gift that replaced the sacrificial system of blood from innocent lambs of the physical sort. We must accept Christ as Savior, as Lord one-on-one with God, because He gives each person the free will to accept or reject His grace offer of salvation.

Now, I must come to the sad part—the tragic part of this essay, really—in which I address this nation’s prophetic destiny.

God’s Word, the Bible, foretells that the Jewish race as a whole, Israel as a nation, will continue to reject their Messiah, the one who came to them more than two thousand years ago. This rejection will continue to result in God’s promises being delayed until the moment Jesus returns to put an end to humankind’s final war called Armageddon.

Israel was scattered after the AD 70 destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple atop Mount Moriah. This was exactly what Jesus predicted in the Olivet Discourse (Matthew, chapter 24; Mark, chapter 13; and Luke, chapter 21). Jesus prophesied that not one stone of the Temple would be left upon another. Titus and the Roman legions saw to the fulfillment of this prophecy.

The Jews lost their temple, their city, and, following Hadrian’s purge in AD 135, their geographical homeland area, plus their common language (Hebrew), as a cohesive link to one another as a distinct people. Yet God’s Word foretells that Israel will be a nation again at the end of days–the time just before Christ returns.

Again, tragically and sadly, you are back in the land for a time that will be worse than any ever experienced by any people. The prophet Jeremiah foretold this:

“Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble; but he shall be saved out of it” (Jeremiah 30:7).

It will be a time of horrors beyond anything even Adolf Hitler dreamed about perpetrating upon the Jewish race.

Can we see a build-up toward that time? Let us consider the words of the prophet Zechariah, and put his prophecies as a template over today’s headlines:

“The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him. 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” (Zechariah 12:1-3).

The peoples of the earth are gathering against Israel. Even some leaders within the US, governmental and religious, want Israel to give away land for peace. The “Zionists” are seen as the problem.

Israel is basically isolated today, so far as true allies are concerned. The United States stands almost alone as your friend. However, it hurts to say that support is eroding, while some within recent American diplomatic efforts seem to want to exclude your nation from talks involving the small territory you now occupy—territory, incidentally, that is but a fraction of the land the Lord your God granted you through Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. These negotiators join the so-called international community in wanting to placate Israel’s hate-filled enemies.

This Neville Chamberlain-like “peace at any cost” maneuvering is not lost on those who want Israel wiped off the map. It is creating a perception of weakness that will tempt them to act on their satanically driven hatreds.

Ezekiel foretold of a time at the end of days when a northern coalition will invade from the North (all biblical direction is given from Jerusalem). There is not space here to go into detail, but excellent scholarship has determined the chief attacker will be Russia, joined by many surrounding peoples. This attack will include forces from the area of ancient Persia, which encompasses all of Iran, and considerable surrounding geographical areas. This coalition, I am convinced today’s news headlines indicate, is gathering now. This will be the Gog-Magog assault described prophetically in Ezekiel, chapters 38 and 39.

The one bright prospect, and it is a bright spot, indeed, is that the God of Israel will never let Israel be destroyed; we have His Word on that:

“This is what the Lord says, ‘He who appoints the sun to shine by day, Who decrees the moon and stars to shine by night, Who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar—the Lord Almighty is His Name; Only if these ordinances vanish from My sight,’ declares the Lord, ‘will the descendants of Israel ever cease to be a nation before Me’” (Jeremiah 31:35-36).

The bottom line is that Israel, the Jewish race, is again destined to become hated and persecuted—this time with satanic vitriol that will make Hitler’s Holocaust look somewhat less terrible by comparison.

Antichrist, the long-foretold, sometimes spoofed, but 100 percent Bible-prophecy guaranteed-to-come-on-the-world-scene tyrant, will implement genocidal policies against the Jewish race that will go far beyond draconian.

I didn’t make up this prediction. God’s Word, the Bible, does say it. I accept that Word as the only truth there is. I, and other Christians who know Jesus Christ as Lord, love, or should love, the Jewish people–the nation Israel. God loves you; so must we. You are His chosen. However, I, and they, can’t change what God has prophesied to take place, I’m convinced, in the relatively near future.

But, I, and they, are charged with showing individuals within Israel the way to escape the coming time of Antichrist’s regime of horror. Accept Christ now. He is Messiah. And one day, perhaps very soon, He will call His people—Jews and Gentiles who accept Him as Savior—to be with Him forever. This will be the Rapture. (That stunning event in which millions of people will vanish from planet Earth can be found in 1 Thessalonians 4:13–18 and 1 Corinthians 15:51–55. Jesus spoke of it in John 14:1–3.)

The Rapture will take place before that time of horror–the era Jesus called “great Tribulation” (Matthew 24: 21).

The people of the nation Israel who are unrepentant (the remnant, for most will die in this last holocaust) will accept Christ at the last moment.

Here’s what that future remnant’s Messiah says:

“And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn” (Zechariah 12:9-10).

Israel will then be made the head of all nations, with the resurrected King David ruling as co-regent with the Messiah, the Lord Jesus Christ, atop Mount Zion at Jerusalem for one thousand years–the Millennium! Believe it or not, that is your nation’s great God-promised destiny.

We who love Israel pray that you will believe.
