In Bible Scriptures the Lord clearly identifies His bride by actually proclaiming "The Bride". Do you know which Scriptures they are?

To teach us His heavenly truth, the Lord uses parables (metaphors); earthly pictures used to explain spiritual truth in a way we can understand. Yashua/Jesus once asked a religious leader, "If I have told you earthly things, and you don't believe, how shall you believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?" Bible Scriptures includes many parables to teach us spiritual truth of great importance. However, Scriptures also contain prophesies. May the Holy Spirit help you to have eyes to see and ears to hear, and to distinguish the difference between the revelation of a parable and the prophetic word.
You may already know that you have a heavenly Father, but did you know Scriptures reveal you have a heavenly Mother as well? Yes, Scriptures reveal the Father, the Mother and the Children. John, one of the original twelve disciples of Christ, was banished to the island of Patmos, where he received many prophetic visions and revelations, which are recorded in Scriptures in the Book of Revelation. John was given a detailed prophetic snapshot of the 'Mother', which we see described in Revelation 12.
Revelation 12:1-5 & 17, And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a WOMAN clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: And she being with CHILD cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered. And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born. And SHE brought forth a MAN CHILD, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and HER child was caught up unto God, and to his throne. And the dragon was wroth with the WOMAN, and went to make war with the remnant of HER seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Yahshua/Jesus Christ.
Clearly, OUT OF the Woman came Christ, who is to rule the nations with a rod of iron. And also coming out of the very same Woman are those who keep God's commandments, as well as the testimony of Jesus. So, who is this woman or MOTHER that birthed Christ as well as His followers who testify of Yahshua and also keep God's commands?
Galatians 4:26, "...JERUSALEM which is above is free, which is the MOTHER of us all."
Have you ever been taught this New Covenant truth that JERUSALEM is the Mother of us all?
1 Chronicles 23:25, "...The God of Israel, has granted rest to his people and has come to dwell in JERUSALEM forever..."

Do you need emotional/mental healing!
Psalm 34:17-20 The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears, And delivers them out of all their troubles. The LORD is near to those who have a broken heart, And saves such as have a contrite spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, But the LORD delivers him out of them all.
Psalm 147:3, (The Lord) heals the brokenhearted And binds up their wounds.
Take Isaiah for example...
Isaiah 38:15, ...because of this anguish of my soul. Lord, by such things people live; and my spirit finds life in them too. You restored me to health and let me live. Surely it was for my benefit that I suffered such anguish.
Requirements for long life...
Ephesians 6:1-3, Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. "Honor your father and mother," which is the first commandment with promise: "that it may be well with you and you may LIVE LONG on the earth."
Proverbs 3:1-2, My child, do not forget my teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments; for length of days and YEARS of LIFE and abundant welfare they will give you.
Isaiah 58:7-8, Is it not to share your bread with the hungry, And that you bring to your house the poor who are cast out; When you see the naked, that you cover him, And not hide yourself from your own flesh?

Matthew 8:13 Then Jesus said to the centurion, "Go your way; and as you have believed, so let it be done for you." And his servant was healed that same hour.
In Closing...
Hebrews 12:13, ...make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed.See The Truth about Healing and The Truth about Prayer
RESPOND to THREAT of DEATH!
Psalm 20:7, Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.
Prepared by Jonathan Israel
Prophetically, wars and death increases at the time of the end of the age. Yes, and some governments are EVIL and the whole world is under the sway of the wicked one (satan), 1 John 5:19.
1 John 4:4-5, He who is in you (Christ the SAVIOR) is GREATER than he who is in the world. They (carnal, worldly and fleshy voices) are of the world. Therefore they speak AS OF THE WORLD, and the world hears them.
2 Corinthians 10:2-4, ...I intend to be bold against SOME, (those) who think of us as if we walked according to the flesh. For though we walk in the flesh, we DO NOT war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God...
Ephesians 6:13-18, ...the shield of FAITH with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.
Ephesians 6:12, For we do NOT wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
Philippians 3:3, For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the SPIRIT, rejoice in Christ Jesus/Salvation, and have no confidence in the flesh,...
Psalm 144:2, The LORD is ...my lovingkindness and my FORTRESS, My high tower and my DELIVERER, My shield and the One in whom I take refuge,...
A Great Falling Away is Coming. GET READY!
Jesus/Salvation says His followers will be the ones being killed, NOT those doing the killing.
Matthew 24:7-13, Jesus/Salvation said, "For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and KILL YOU, and you will be hated by all nations for My name's sake. And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another. Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. And because LAWLESSNESS will abound, the love of many will grow cold. But he who endures to the end shall be saved.
Do you see Christians who love their worldly kingdom even to the point of compromise? Those who love this world, carnal/FLESHY Christians seeking to save themselves and their worldly kingdom, will betray true Holy SPIRIT-filled, faith led followers of Jesus/Salvation unto death.
Galatians 4:29, ...he who was born according to the FLESH then persecuted him who was born according to the SPIRIT, even so it is now.
Mark 13:12, Now brother (carnal fleshy Christian) will betray brother (Spirit led Christian) to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death.
How should we respond to such persecution?
Romans 12:14, Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.
Matthew 10:23, When they persecute you in this city, flee to another.
Daniel 12:7, ...and when the power of the HOLY PEOPLE has been completely shattered, all these things shall be finished.
Proverbs 3:25, Do not be afraid of sudden terror, Nor of trouble from the wicked when it comes; For THE LORD will be your confidence...
Matthew 10:28, ...DO NOT FEAR those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
And when people begin to be KILLED for NOT taking mark of the beast or worshipping his image...
Revelation 14:13, Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.
Revelation 20:4, Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus/Salvation and for the WORD of God, who had NOT worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.
Meanwhile, as lawlessness, violence and destruction increases in the USA, Beware of CARNAL messages that incite you to rise up in your flesh, to prep for war against people, or the Government. Resist the temptation to rely on carnal/worldly weapons. There are enemies of the FAITH who would mock you and provoke you to guns and bullets; they blatantly belittle those of FAITH who would rather fully trust the Lord for their deliverance.
Yes, owning a gun is your right as a law abiding citizen. And defending yourself and your family against criminals is perfectly legal. Ask the Lord for wisdom regarding these things and follow as His Holy Spirit leads and instructs you.

Eating Laws Reconciled!
What about followers of Jesus/Yahshua who follow all or portions of Moses eating Laws?
Prepared by Jonathan Israel
WARNING: In 1 Timothy 1:7, Bible Scripture warns of those "Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm."
Old or first covenant believers were introduced to the elementary law known as "tutor" or "guardian". New Covenant believers are introduced to an advanced or higher level of law or FAITH called "Law of the Spirit", "Law of Faith", and "Law of Liberty".
Galatians 3:22-24, "Before the coming of this faith, we were held in custody under the law, locked up until the FAITH that was to come would be revealed. So the law was our guardian UNTIL Christ came that we might be justified by faith. Now that this faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian."
Romans 8:2, "For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death."
The old or first covenant that the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob made with His people was based on the laws implemented by Moses. But remember, prior to the law, the 10 Commandments had been given to the people (written by finger of God) in the wilderness before reaching the promised land of Israel.
Interesting to note: the tablets inscribed with the 10 Commandments were kept inside the Ark of the Covenant, and the laws, statutes and precepts were kept outside of the Ark.
Jesus addresses dietary laws in light of spiritual purity ...
The following dietary laws were given to Gentiles who repented of their sins and began to follow Jesus/Yahshua as Lord?
Acts 15:19-20, "It is my judgment, therefore, that we should not make it difficult for the Gentiles who are turning to God. Instead we should write to them, telling them to abstain from food polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, from the meat of strangled animals and from blood."
1 Timothy 4:4-6, "For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, because it is consecrated by the word of God and prayer. I f you point these things out to the brothers and sisters, you will be a good minister of Christ Jesus, nourished on the truths of the faith and of the good teaching that you have followed."
Understanding New Covenant We Are Now Under
Hebrews 9:9-14, "This is an illustration for the present time, indicating that the gifts and sacrifices being offered were not able to clear the conscience of the worshiper. They are only a matter of food and drink and various ceremonial washings-external regulations applying UNTIL the time of the new order . But when Christ came as high priest of the good things that are now already here He went through the greater and more perfect tabernacle that is not made with human hands, that is to say, is not a part of this creation. He did not enter by means of the blood of goats and calves; but he entered the Most Holy Place once for all by his own blood, thus obtaining eternal redemption. The blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkled on those who are ceremonially unclean sanctify them so that they are outwardly clean. How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death, so that we may serve the living God! For this reason Christ is the mediator of a NEW Covenant, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance-now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant."
More of Moses Covenant Law Compared to Jesus' Covenant Law of the Spirit
Mark 10:1-12, Jesus then left that place and went into the region of Judea and across the Jordan. Again crowds of people came to him, and as was his custom, he taught them. Some Pharisees came and tested him by asking, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?" "What did Moses command you?" he replied. They said, "Moses permitted a man to write a certificate of divorce and send her away." "It was because your hearts were hard that Moses wrote you this law," Jesus replied. "But at the beginning of creation God 'made them male and female.' 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.' So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate."
Romans 2:23, You who boast in the law, do you dishonor God by breaking the law?
1 Corinthians 1:31, "Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord."
Galatians 6:14, But far be it from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
Philippians 3:3, For we are the circumcision, who worship by the Spirit of God [ a] and glory in Christ Jesus and put no confidence in the flesh-
Galatians 3:19, What purpose then does the law serve? It was added because of transgressions, till the Seed should come to whom the promise was made
Moses allowed Divorce for any reason..... Jesus does not!
Moses declared certain foods unclean and prohibited certain animals from being eaten, while Jesus says food does NOT defile and He allows all His created animals to be eaten if received by faith and with thanksgiving.
Colossians 2:13-17, And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of a holyday, or of the new moon, or of the Sabbath days: Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
Are you obedient to the Holy Spirit as your teacher of what is pleasing, holy and acceptable to the Lord? Or are you still limited to the elementary teachings of Moses' law? Clearly, some are consigned to faith in Moses' law and some have been born of the Holy Spirit after accepting Messiah's mercy and grace, and are now following the Law of Spirit, Law of Faith and Law of Liberty.
The one consigned to Moses' law may not eat bacon for breakfast but then has no problem indulging in junk foods, since the law of Moses does not address modern day junkfood. The one led by the Holy Spirit may eat a piece of bacon for breakfast but then is convicted when he indulges in too much junkfood. So, being convicted by the Holy Spirit, he does not indulge in junk food even though the Bible does not address junkfood. He is led by the law of faith and law of the Spirit, and not the law of Moses, to take care of his body, the temple of the Lord.
None of us are to be lawless! In Jesus/Yahshua, the believers of weak faith are to be accepted and respected by the mature believer led by law of faith. Likewise, those of weak faith are not to reject those led by the law of faith, law of the Spirit and law of liberty. They are both acceptable to the Lord...
Romans 14:20-22, Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food. All food is clean, but it is wrong for a person to eat anything that causes someone else to stumble. It is better not to eat meat or drink wine or to do anything else that will cause your brother or sister to fall. So whatever you believe about these things keep between yourself and God. Blessed is the one who does not condemn himself by what he approves.
Romans 14:1-6, Him that is weak in the faith you should receive, but not to doubtful disputations. For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eats herbs. Let not him that eats despise him that eats not; and let not him which eats not judge him that eats: for God hath received him. Who art thou that judges another man's servant? to his own master he stands or falls. Yes, he shall be held up: for God is able to make him stand. One man esteems one day above another: another esteems every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. He that regards the day, regards it unto the Lord; and he that regards not the day, to the Lord he does not regard it. He that eats, eats to the Lord, for he gives God thanks; and he that eats not, to the Lord he eats not, and gives God thanks.
Note: Those who boast in the law and reject that righteousness and salvation only come through Jesus/Yahshua as Lord are to be rejected. Likewise, those who claim to accept Jesus/Yahshua as Lord and Savior are to be rejected if they themselves live lawless.
1 Corinthians 5:11-13, But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or COVETOUS, or an idolator, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat. For what have I to do to judge them also that are WITHOUT/OUTSIDE? do not ye judge them that are WITHIN/INSIDE? But them that are without God judges. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.
Psalm 5:9, For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulchre; they FLATTER with their tongue.
Have you ever wondered at the lack of influence or authority of America's version of Christianity? What if you were a member of the counterfeit church and didn't know it? At the end of this article, you will know the difference between doctrinally sound churches, and the counterfeit churches of posers who have usurped the authority of Abba and foolishly claim "I built this church", "this is MY church" and/or "I run things here".
Scripture speaks against loving the world, the things of the world and heaping up the corrupted treasures of the world.
Scripture inspires believers to surrender their entire lives to Yahshua/Jesus 24/7 as an act of worship and sacrifice.
Luke 9:23, "If anyone desires to come after Me, let him DENY HIMSELF, and take up his cross DAILY, and follow Me." Romans 12:1, "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a LIVING SACRIFICE, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service." Acts 5:42, "…DAILY in the temple, and in EVERY HOUSE, they did not cease teaching and preaching Jesus as the Christ." Matthew 6:11, Pray DAILY, "Give us this day our DAILY bread." Acts 17:11, "…they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures DAILY, whether those things were so.
Scripture led believers truly love the Lord and WILLINGLY accept the Lord's invitation to obey His commands; yet, they remain thankfully aware of the GIFT of salvation they received by grace through faith in Yahsua/Jesus.
Have you ever wondered at the lack of influence or authority of American Christianity? What if you were a member of the counterfeit church and didn't know it? At the end of this article, you will understand the difference between the ONE TRUE CHURCH and the counterfeit churches of posers who have usurped Abba's authority.
People, we should already know Abba's DIRECTION for in-house ministry -v- outhouse ministry as Bible Scripture instructs.
1 Corinthians 5:12-13, What business is it of mine to JUDGE those OUTSIDE the church? Are YOU not to judge those INSIDE? God will judge those outside. "Expel the wicked person from among you."
False prophets and carnally minded watchmen do not distinguish between their words and the Lord's word, and they do not distinguish between the flesh and the Holy Spirit. And many false teachers and false preachers have now invaded America's Christianity, usurped authority and turned the congregation into an OUTHOUSE.

When did the Holy Spirit first empower true believers with the gift of speaking in tongues?
Acts 2:5-12, "And there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under heaven. And when this sound occurred, the multitude came together, and were confused, because everyone heard them speak in his own language. Then they were all amazed and marveled, saying to one another, "Look, are not all these who speak Galileans? And how is it that we hear, each in our own language in which we were born? Parthians and Medes and Elamites, those dwelling in Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya adjoining Cyrene, visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabs—we hear them speaking in our own tongues the wonderful works of God." So they were all amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, "Whatever could this mean?"
Does the Lord include gift of tongues among the spiritual gifts He gives His followers?
Do ALL true believers speak with the spiritual gift of tongues?
Since we are instructed to DESIRE Holy Spirit gifts, such as speaking in tongues, clearly not all true believers MUST speak in tongues as some falsely proclaim. So how can we know we are truly glorifying the Lord and are true DISCIPLES of Yahshua/Jesus?
So, Bible Scripture confirms it is the FRUITS of the Holy Spirit that we MUST bring forth if we are those who truly honor our Abba in Heaven. Okay, does Yahshua identify spiritual fruit as the EVIDENCE of a true believer?
Yahshua said, "I am the vine, you are the branches. He who ABIDES in Me, and I in him, BEARS much FRUIT; for without Me you can do nothing."
John 15:2, Yahsua said, "Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away;…"

Are you lawless?
Obviously, Panama is not the USA, but those coming from big cities such as New York, Chicago and L.A. will experience a lower cost of living here, much like they would moving to mid or small town America.
Retail Stores
Grocery Stores
Taxi Service
For those who are humble or on a limited budget, you can rent a furnished one-bedroom cabana for $200 to $300 per month; a furnished 2-bedroom house or duplex for $350 to $450 per month; or a small brand new 3-bedroom unfurnished house for $450 per month.
Leaving Babylon America
For many, moving to Panama, or any other country for that matter, seems to be filled with insurmountable obstacles, namely the costs.
Yes, punishments are coming to America, but if you are not being led by the Lord to depart the USA in faith, then stay in faith. But you must understand, not all have faith and not all have ears to hear. There is only a remnant, which the Lord is leading by faith. If the Lord leads, He meets the needs. Where Abba guides, He provides.
Lesson from the Jews
When the call went out for two decades, since the Balfour Declaration in 1917, inviting and compelling the Jews in Europe to leave and return to Israel, only a small remnant responded. While some six-million Jewish men, women and children who remained in Europe were captured and killed by the Nazi Germans for their faith, there was only a remnant who departed in time. Sadly, less than a million Jews (reportedly 750,000 to 800,000) were living in Israel after World War 2, when Israel prophetically obtained nation status once again in 1948.
For many Jews, returning to the Lord's covenant land of Israel was a financial impossibility to do on their own. It was only by uniting with friends and/or family members that a many of the Jews were able successfully flee the impending doom in Europe.
By coming together to form co-ops, called kibbutzim, the impossible became possible for many. Most kibbutzim were set up as working farms, where everyone pitched in and worked together for the success of all. As time went on, some kibbutzim included hotels and retail establishments. Currently, there are still over 250 of these farming communities in Israel.
Only the humble and unselfish with a mind to work can thrive in this type of co-op. In fact, we've met a young woman here in Panama who lives on a 10-acre farm, and she recently explained that her parents have a vision to see their farm become filled with followers of the Lord working together in unity and true fellowship.
Be Encouraged
1 Peter 2:11, "Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims,…"
Philippian 3:20, "…our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ (Yahshua the Messiah),…"
Mark 16:15, Jesus/Yahshua said, "Go into ALL the world and preach the gospel to every creature.
WARNING! Because of sin and rebellion among the people of God, only a REMNANT will be saved! Only one-third will be REFINED!
Zechariah 13:9, I will bring the one–third through the fire, Will refine them as silver is refined, And test them as gold is tested. They will call on My name, And I will answer them. I will say, 'This is My people'; And each one will say, 'The Lord is my God.'"
Bible prophecy in the news revealing the truth, prepared by firstname.lastname@example.com to help explain the end times, last days revelation and prophecy in the news that is beginning to happen all across the United States of America and around the world. Those who accept Jesus as Lord and Savior, confessing and forsaking their sins, will be forgiven. Rom. 10, & 1 John 1
This article reveals why we left America and what we've discovered in Panama. You're reading part one of an ongoing Connection Magazine exclusive featuring practical insights, warnings, advice and encouragement from Central America.
Many Americans are beginning to awaken to the dangerous fall of the USA as it morphs into a kingdom opposed to all that is true and right.
A time of unsealed revelations is here! (see Daniel 12:4)
The description of Daughter Babylon in Jeremiah chapters 50 and 51, describes current day America more than any other nation in modern history. Regardless of whether or not you believe that the USA has fallen and is now rising as Daughter Babylon, does not change the way that the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob deals with such a covenant breaking nation found to be opposing Him and destroying His heritage.
Jeremiah 51:6, "Flee from Babylon! Run for your lives! Do not be destroyed because of her sins. It is time for the Lord's vengeance; HE will repay her what she deserves."
The USA has outlawed prayer and the Bible in public schools, where they now indoctrinate children with anti-Christ and atheistic doctrines.
America's courts increasingly attacks Christian owned businesses for not supporting homosexuality, and have recently made laws redefining God's covenant of marriage and His covenant land of Israel.
The fast morphing United Kingdom of America is just getting started and the persecution of Bible believing followers of Yahshua will increase to plundering and imprisonment, and for some it will end in death. Please consider what happened to the Jews in the '30's and '40's.
The Lord invites His followers, who have ears to hear, to flee His wrath that is coming upon the USA (Jeremiah 50:8-10). And for those who need further encouragement to leave their comfort zone, true followers of the Lord have been invited to "go" into all the nations to preach the Gospel of Yahshua, and then the end will come (Mark 16:15, Matthew 24:14).
Meanwhile, carnally minded voices will encourage you to stay in the corrupt evil land of the rich and powerful, making unbiblical statements of doubt and unbelief such as "it does not make sense (to leave)", "I don't understand it", "it's not practical (to leave)".
Interestingly, once the Biblically illiterate openly confess their ignorance, they proceed to pretend to have the answer by spouting ideas, opinions and philosophies as to why someone should stay in the USA. They follow up their ignorance by attacking (with words of false predictions of trouble) those who are led by the Lord to flee the fallen nation of evil that opposes the Lord and destroys His heritage.
You need to walk by faith. If the Lord is not leading you to go by faith, is He leading you to stay by faith?
We've recently been redirected to leave the US for a second time. After spending a terribly dry and unfruitful two years back in the USA, my wife Chris and I have quickly discovered God's favor and blessings, once again, in the two short weeks we've been here in Panama.
Watch for future Connection Magazine Prophecy posts as I hope to be able to share practical insights of expatriating as well reveal the blessings, wisdom and knowledge of following the Lord by faith out of our comfort zone and into the end time harvest.
Lord willing, I will share with you the awesome and great things Yahshua is doing here in Panama among believers, and I am compelled to be forthcoming and also warn you about the works that satan is doing here in the name of Christianity.

Psalm 7:11, God is a righteous judge, a God who displays his wrath every day.
The things that befell them served as examples…
(1 Corinthians 10:3-11,
Jonathan Cahn, the Bible teacher and author (The Harbinger and The Mystery of the Shemitah) who started warning nine years ago that America was facing the judgment of God if it did not reject secularism and return to its Judeo-Christian roots, says the June 26 Supreme Court ruling that legalized gay marriage in all 50 states marks the formal end to Christian America.
"In the last days Christianity will continue to break into two," said Cahn. "There will be the apostate false church and that which remains true to the Gospel and a biblical worldview. The true Church will boldly speak the truth on moral issues, as well as embrace Israel and support the Jewish people at a time when the rest of the world sees Israel as the enemy.
"This new period of total lawlessness and apostasy in which whole Christian denominations are falling in line with the world's changing view of marriage, is only the latest symptom that the world and the (true) Church are racing in different directions."

In Matthew 24, Jesus warned His followers that the rise of Christian persecution would be a sign of the end of the age, and before His return to earth to overthrow the 10 kingdoms of the final, one-world beast government and to establish His Kingdom on the earth. (also see Daniel 2:44)
You Don't Belong to World
Luke 6:22, Jesus said, "Blessed are you, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake."
1 John 3:13-16, "Do not be surprised, my brothers and sisters, if the world hates you. We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love each other. Anyone who does not love remains in death. Anyone who hates a brother or sister is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life residing in him. This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters."
The World Rejects Righteousness
Matthew 5:10-12, "Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 24:7-13, Regarding the end of time and His return to earth, Jesus told His followers, "For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved."
Revelation 12:17, "And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ."
(Daniel 12:6&7) "...How long shall the fulfillment of these wonders be?" Then I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand to heaven, and swore by Him who lives forever, that it shall be for a time, times, and half a time; and when the power of the holy people has been completely shattered, all these things shall be finished.
More Followers of Jesus Killed After 5th Seal Opened
Luke 12:4-5, Jesus said, "And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he has killed has power to cast into hell; yes, I say unto you, Fear him."

Criminalization of Christianity in America
Former Governor Mike Huckabee warns Christians will be criminalized for preaching Biblical truth about marriage. US Presidential Candidate Hillary Clinton confirms plan to outlaw opposing religious views in America.
In light of the US Supreme Court flagging that they will soon legislate from the bench to redefine God's holy Covenant of marriage; thereby, making it legal for homosexuals to trample God's Covenant, there is an alarm ringing out to America's Christian community, to stand up for Jesus and His word before doing so becomes illegal.
"Christian convictions are under attack as never before," said former Governor Mike Huckabee, "we are moving rapidly toward the criminalization of Christianity."
Huckabee strongly exhorted and prophesied of perilous times ahead for American Christians. "It's not simply going to be a church's tax exempt status is threatened," he warned, "But more importantly… criminal charges for a person who defies the new government norm, a new legal norm."
Thanks to recent statements by presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, we now have a glimpse at godless plans for a new legal norm, a new strategy to outlaw Christian beliefs in America.
Fully understand what is headed your way!
The goal of anti-Christ government is to protect mankind's newest laws legalizing the abortion of babies, and laws giving legal permission allowing homosexuals to violate God's holy Covenant of marriage, by setting up additional laws that will outlaw anyone who disagrees with or fails to support those anti-Biblical, anti-Christian laws. Soon, obeying God will be outlawed in America.
Are you willing to make a stand for truth at all cost!
Huckabee appeals to Christian leaders in America "not to give up on marriage, but help the congregation understand why it is the foundation of our civilization, and why that our defense of Biblical marriage is something that is not an option for Christian believers."
You're blessed!
Matthew 5:11, Blessed are you, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
Romans 8:17, Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.
2 Corinnthians 1:5, For just as we share abundantly in the sufferings of Christ, so also our comfort abounds through Christ.
2 Corinthians 12:10, That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
2 Timothy 3:12, Yes, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
Philippians 1:29, For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe in him, but also to suffer for him,…"
Matthew 13:21, But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away.

God is Speaking!
Is it true that followers of Jesus are hearing from the Lord in these times we're in?
Hebrews 3:15, "Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion."
Deuteronomy 4:12, "...the Lord spoke to (the Israelites) out of the fire. (They) heard the sound of words but saw no form; there was only a voice."
Deuteronomy 5:24, (The Israelites proclaimed), "The Lord our God has shown us his glory and his majesty, and we have heard his voice from the fire. Today we have seen that a person can live even if God speaks with them."
Numbers 7:8-9, "When Moses entered the tent of meeting to speak with the Lord, he heard the voice speaking to him from between the two cherubim above the atonement cover on the ark of the covenant law. In this way the Lord spoke to him."
Acts 9:3-5, As (Saul) neared Damascus on his journey, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him. He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, "Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?" "Who are you, Lord?" Saul asked. "I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting," he replied.
How do you know if you're hearing from the Holy Spirit of the Lord God?
Romans 10:17, "Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ."
John 8:47, Jesus said, "Whoever belongs to God hears what God says."
John 10:5, "...they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger's voice."
Ask and You Will Receive!
Colossians 1:9, "...ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives..."
John 16:13, JESUS said, "…when He, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you THINGS TO COME."
Be Warned...
Matthew 12:32, "Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come."
1 Thessalonians 5:19, "Do not quench the Spirit."
We Hope and Pray You Have Ears To Hear...
John 10:27, Jesus said, "My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me."
Revelation 3:20, Jesus said, "Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me."
Editor's note; You know those Christians who say 'beware of those who hear from God', well, we are warning you now to beware of those who say 'beware of those who hear from God.' Obviously they admit they're NOT hearing from the Lord.
Purim is a reminder to the Jewish people that in every generation, there are those who rise up to destroy them.
Editor's note: As this article is being prepared on the eve of Purim, unconfirmed news reports out of Iran today, declare Iran's spiritual leader, Ali Khamenei, 76-years-old, was rushed to hospital urgently in Tehran and was hospitalized in serious condition after some body systems collapsed. Khamenei reportedly underwent surgery and his condition is critical.
If Iran stays the course, an echo or shadow of the first Purim thousands of years ago indicates nuclear bombs will eventually be turned against the arrogant nation of Iran that has threatened to destroy Israel and introduce the world to its first nuclear war?
"I don't know if that's true or not, but I do know that the president defends Islam and chastises Christians, rebukes our allies and befriends our enemies, and fully supports gay marriages and abortion but denies the religious freedoms of those who don't agree," said the evangelist, who oversees the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association.
"Our nation is ridiculed abroad and morally crumbling within," he said. "We are in trouble. We have turned our back on God."

1Samuel 12:20-21, "…do not turn aside from following the LORD, but serve the LORD with all your heart. ...Do not turn aside; for then you would go after empty things which cannot PROFIT OR DELIVER, for they are nothing."
Yes, the following is true…
Galatians 2:16, "...by the works of the LAW no flesh shall be justified."
However, according to the following Bible Scriptures, doing good WORKS by FAITH are an absolute must…
James 2:24&26, (You are) "...justified by WORKS, and not by faith only. ...Faith WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD..."
Hebrews 12:1, "...let us RUN with endurance the race that is set before us..."

James 2:22, "Do you see that FAITH was working together with (their) WORKS, and by WORKS faith was made perfect?"
James 2:26, "...the body without the spirit is dead, so FAITH WITHOUT WORKS is DEAD also.

Hebrew 6:10, "...God is not unjust to forget your WORK..."
Hebrews 10:24, "...let us consider one another in order to stir up love and GOOD WORKS."
But Remember...
Galatians 3:10, "For as many as are of the WORKS of the LAW are under the curse; for it is written, "Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all things which are written in the book of the LAW, to do them."
Philippians 3:13-15, Paul said, "Brethren, I count NOT myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I PRESS toward the mark for the prize of the HIGH CALLING of GOD in CHRIST JESUS. Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing you are otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you."

"Obama Abortion President" Declares James Dobson
To their own judgment, much of American Christianity stays silently apathetic and useless as the innocent blood of babies continues to flow through America's sewers, rivers and lakes. Meanwhile, Christian radio minister, Dr. James Dobson, founder of Focus on the family, confidently slammed America's abortion trade at the National annual day of prayer on Capitol Hill last week.
The WATERS Will Dry Up!
Leviticus 18:22 You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination.
Leviticus 20:13 If a man lies with a male as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination.
Romans 1:26-27 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.
1Corinthians 6:9-10 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.
GOD'S WRATH is COMING to CHURCH!
But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God's holy people. Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God's wrath comes on those who are disobedient. Therefore do not be partners with them. Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. (Ephesians 5:3,6,7,11)

Reject FALSE Christianity
Scripture Commands You to Reject All Immorality and Sinful Corruption Hiding Behind The Name 'Christian' or 'Church'
I wrote to you not to associate with any so-called brother if he should be an immoral person, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or a swindler—not even to eat with such a one.
(1 Cor. 5:11)
Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said: "I will dwell in them and walk among them. I will be their God, and they shall be My people. Therefore, "Come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord."
(2 Corinthians 6:14-17)
"Pursue...the sanctification without which no one will see the Lord"
(Heb. 12:14).
Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
(1 Cor. 6:9-10)
In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, we command you, brothers and sisters, to keep away from every believer who is idle and disruptive and does not live according to the teaching you received from us.
(2 Thessalonians 3:6)
Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone: if he shall hear you, you have gained your brother. But if he will not hear you, then take with you one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto you as a heathen... (Matthew 18:15-17)
Immorality must be judged in the Church!
I wrote to you in my epistle not to keep company with sexually immoral people. Yet I certainly did not mean with the sexually immoral people of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or idolaters, since then you would need to go out of the world. But now I have written to you not to keep company with anyone named a brother, who is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner—not even to eat with such a person. For what have I to do with judging those also who are outside? Do you not judge those who are inside? But those who are outside God judges. Therefore "put away from yourselves the evil person."
(1 Corinthians 5:9-13)

Her priests have violated My law and profaned My holy things; they have not distinguished between the holy and unholy, nor have they made known the difference between the unclean and the clean; and they have hidden their eyes from My Sabbaths, so that I am profaned among them. (Ezekiel 22:26)

Netanyahu's PROPHETIC Speech at UN by David Lazarus
It is yet to be seen whether or not Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech at the UN gained any diplomatic or political ground for Israel. The message, however, was certainly ground-breaking. On the floor of the United Nations General Assembly, in front of the nations of the world, Netanyahu quoted from the Bible no fewer than five times. Surely more than any other speech in UN history.
"Abraham, Isaac and Jacob"
Calling up the fathers of faith, Israel's Prime Minister pronounced to all that it is not the United Nations, nor the United States, nor a slipshod "two-state solution" that will establish the Jewish people in their ancestral homeland, but only the promises of the God of Israel as spoken in His word to their forefathers.
For Israel's Prime Minister, it seems, God's word is as politically correct and relevant today as ever.
"The Persian king Cyrus issued a famous edict in which he proclaimed the right of the Jews to return to the land of Israel and rebuild the Jewish temple in Jerusalem."
In this brilliant admonition of Iran's anti-Israel madness, Netanyahu pointed out that it was the Persian King Cyrus himself who supported the return of the Jewish people to Israel. How shrewd of the Prime Minister to remind the Iranian people that they themselves were instruments in God's hands to fulfill His plan to establish the Jewish people in the Land of Israel. What a stunning rebuke of a regime that regularly threatens to destroy the Jewish state.
Like the prophets of old, Netanyahu directly confronted that ancient enemy of Israel calling upon them to abandon the path of fighting against God's will concerning the Jewish people. Fighting against the purposes of God will only backfire in the end. For "presidents of Iran have come and gone," said Netanyahu, "and (yet) we re-established our sovereign state in our ancestral homeland, the land of Israel."
"A wolf in sheep's clothing"
Apparently, Israel's Jewish Prime Minister also reads the New Testament. This quote taken directly from the Gospel of Matthew suggests that the true nature of Israel's foes will be revealed by their actions, as seen in the following verse in Jesus' sermon: "By their fruits shall ye know them."
After systematically recalling a long list of the new Iranian president Rouhani's murders, killings and terror over the years, Netanyahu exposed the "brazen contrast, this extraordinary contradiction, between Rouhani's words and Iran's actions."
One could almost picture Jesus himself over-turning the tables in the Temple as Netanyahu tried to shake the world's leaders out of their apathy and wake them up to the imminent dangers of Iran's deceitfulness. Abandoning all politically correct diplomacy, he stunned the weary diplomats in the General Assembly, exposing lie after lie of Iran's deceptive "charm offensive" and denouncing it as a "rogue regime."
"Israel will stand alone"
Asher Intrater, a Messianic Jewish leader in Israel, pointed out that when Netanyahu declared in his speech that if necessary Israel would stand alone to defend herself against the Iranian nuclear threat, the Prime Minister was referring to a prophecy in Deuteronomy 33:28.
The prophecy reads, "Then Israel shall dwell in safety, the fountain of Jacob alone…happy are you O Israel! Who is like you, a people saved by the Lord."
Constantly under pressure from the nations of the world, Israel's prime minister seems to have internalized the profound truth that more than any other nation in the world Israel must trust in the Lord for her salvation.
"I will plant them upon their soil never to be uprooted again"
Quoting from the Prophet Amos in English and then in Hebrew, Netanyahu made it clear to all who are listening that no threat, nuclear or otherwise, will remove Israel from the Land. For the Lord Himself has established His people here.
"The people of Israel have come home never to be uprooted again," concluded Netanyahu.

A REVIVAL of CLEANSING
by David Wilkerson
All the prophets saw the end times and prophesied of the gathering of a separated, holy people who would have great understanding in the Word of the Lord. Daniel heard great things from God but "understood not" (Daniel 12:8).
However, he saw a day coming when a purified, tried and tested remnant would understand; there would be a last-day company full of wisdom and discernment in the things of God. "Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand" (Daniel 12:10).
Isaiah deplored the spiritual blindness of backslidden Israel. He said, "They err in vision, they stumble in judgment" (Isaiah 28:7). The little discernment they once had was destroyed by their lusts. But Isaiah prophesied of a day in which "the deaf [shall] hear the words . . . the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity, and out of darkness. . . . They shall sanctify my name . . . and shall fear the God of Israel. They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding, and they that murmured shall learn doctrine" (Isaiah 29:18, 23-24).
I believe the last-day revival so many preach about is a revival of cleansing. If the work of the Holy Spirit is to convict the world of sin, righteousness and judgment, then it is certain that in a great Holy Ghost outpouring there will be powerful waves of conviction,
and a careless, indulgent Church will be shaken and forced to face her sins.
While multitudes of Christians chase after signs and miracles and flock to teachers of success and prosperity, God has been calling out a "wilderness people" who are consumed with hunger for more of Christ.
Right now a glorious company is coming forth! One day God began to stir their hearts and they became disillusioned with all the hypocrisy and shame. They got into the Word of God and saw for themselves what His ultimate purposes are. They put on Christ's robe of righteousness by faith, submitted to the claims of Christ, and decided to walk alone, if necessary, to be wholly obedient to Him. They set themselves to hear and understand the Lord's will. They began to see things in the Spirit and were made to understand that the end of all things is at hand. To these, the Word of the Lord has come!
"Christ is coming! Repent, for the day of the Lord is near! Lay aside every besetting sin and set your affection on things above! Do not partake in the empires and dreams of men. Forsake it all and go out to meet Him."
That word is being proclaimed loud and clear!

President Obama's Marriage is Headed for Failure. Why Has He Defiled the Covenant of Marriage?
Why has President Obama attacked the Covenant of Marriage? In spite of the $17-trillion dollar debt threatening to collapse what's left of America's failing economy, Obama's primary goal in recent months was his attack against God-ordained marriage, exclusive to a male and female union since inception and for millennia.
In light of the Benghazi scandal and cover up of truth in the death of a US Ambassador and others, Obama was not interested in revealing the truth of that 911 attack. He stayed focused on attacking the God-ordained Covenant of marriage.
Sadly, the intense driving passion and overwhelming strong desire of President Obama during this time has been to show respect to men who sex with men. While showing his "respect" for deviant and unfruitful homosexual sex, Obama shows disrespect to the Bible, it's adherants and to the God of all creation.
Meanwhile, conservative and Christian groups have been the target of IRS harrassment. But once again, Obama does not want the truth to come out.
Well, Mr. President, the truth will prevail over every lie. The truth about Benghazi will be made known. The truth about the corruption and lawlessness at the IRS will be known. And by your own actions, your marriage is headed for failure.
"For there is nothing hidden which will not be revealed, nor has anything been kept secret but that it should come to light." (Mark 4:22)

Isn't it time to rally against the lie that breaking the nose and busting the head of a neighborhood watch captain is not a crime? Isn't it time to rally against those who threaten "whitey" because a Hispanic was found "not guilty"? Isn't it time to rally against all who threaten violence at any perceived injustice? And isn't it time to rally against a President who is attempting to turn our attention away from evidence of his blatant ineptitude? His politicizing of a single crime is merely race baiting to obfuscate his own racist and political crimes of attacking the mostly white Conservative and Christian groups through illegal and immoral IRS practices? Seriously, America, it's way past time to pray and seek the Lord... but not too late.

Civil War Coming to USA
editor@ Connection Magazine.org
The persecution of Bible believers in the US is just getting started. Meanwhile, law abiding citizens are under attack for owning guns.
More lives are saved by law abiding gun owners than those taken by law-breaking gun owners. So, can you guess why the US is going after law abiding citizens?
The US Government wants your guns because they can't accomplish their goal as long as you can protect yourself. Looks like the founders of the US knew something when they wrote the Constitution allowing for citizens to be armed to protect themselves against all enemies, foreign and domestic, including tyranny.
Utah and Texas have warned the Feds they will not allow the Constitution to be trampled.
Civil war is around the corner for the country that has fomented civil wars and civil unrest in countries like Syria, Egypt and Israel to name a few. What the US has sown the US will reap. Word.
Meanwhile, the US is arming Homeland Security with 1.6 billion (hollow point) bullets, which are so deadly they're outlawed in the theater of war. Can you guess why?
For those with ears to hear, leave the US while you still can. Judgment is coming to the US; including death and imprisonment. Why should you share in her sufferings?
Have feminism and sexually perverted lifestyles been accepted in your Christian group? If so, you are no longer in a Biblical Christian fellowship. STOP following Americanized Christianity and FOLLOW Jesus/Yahshua!

The FALSE PROPHET
In Jeremiah chapter 23, God gives us a powerful statement about true and false prophets. Talk about an indictment! It is one thing to have an indictment against Israel, but when you begin to indict the prophets of Israel, when the loftiest and the best and the noblest thing has become the most profane, then that must be a symbol or a statement of the low condition of a nation prior to its judgment.
There is a conjunction between prophet and priest: "The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests rule on their own authority; and My people love it so!" (Jer.5:31a).
It is remarkable how self-serving this reciprocal thing is between heads of movements or fellowships and the false prophets, and how comfortable they are with one another, and how they affirm one another. The people are in an unspoken agreement with their ministers: "You present a biblical message. We will pay the bill and have a Sunday service that will leave our lives free from any kind of demand that would really touch our true vested interest and value. We don't want a message that is going to challenge where our heart really is. We want to be able to say, 'Amen' and 'We've been to church'" -and that kind of thing. As the priest, so also the people. As the pastor/preacher, so also the congregation. Into that situation we have to come prophetically - and likely be stoned!
'"Therefore their way will be like slippery paths to them, they will be driven away into the gloom and fall in it; for I shall bring calamity
It implies that there is not an immediate judgment, but that there is an appointed time in which God judges those that profane His house-those who originally had authentic and holy callings. That may well be why the Lord is allowing to continue that which is presently being called prophetic and is so popular, but for them, as with the priests and prophets of old, there will be a year of visitation or a time when God calls a halt.
There is a consequence for false prophecy. It will affect the entire nation and therefore the entire church by the same principle.
"' Thus says the LORD of hosts, 'Do not listen to the words of the prophets who are prophesying to you...'" (vs. 15-16a).
Notice that God still calls them prophets. It is maybe because the gifts and callings of God are irrevocable. They still retain their official title, but what they are performing under that title is in God's sight an abomination. There is nothing more profane than when the sacred is no longer authentically sacred. When we take the sacred phrase, 'Thus says the Lord' and merely employ it as a device to win the attention of our hearers, then we are desecrating the sacred. We are making the sacred profane and once we have done that, what else can be hoped for? If we are not as a priestly people setting forth the distinction between the profane and the sacred, what can be hoped for in the world? The ramifications of what we are talking about are beyond any full grasp.
This must be the very quintessence of what a false prophet is, namely, the giving of a false comfort and a false assurance of peace that does not regard the truth of the conditions that need to be faced. It is an unwillingness to bring a hard word. The things that are prophesied (by false prophets) are normally flattering and encouraging to the flesh, rather than challenging or threatening. False prophets have historically prophesied peace when there is no peace. 'Calamity will not come upon you' is unhappily the kind of prophetic statement that is coming forth even today, especially in Israel. They are giving a false comfort to those who are not even properly aligned to God. Humanly speaking, we would not see these people as those who despise God. God sees them, however, as despising Him and we need to see it as He sees it.
"But who has stood in the council of the LORD...?"
Moses, who wrote the five books of Moses, could say of himself that he was the humblest man on the face of the earth. That is true humility, where we are devoid of any sense of spiritual self-consciousness. We can merely state the fact of something without any effect upon ourselves, because the humility is not a statement to our honor. Humility is not something that man can work up by himself on the earth and develop as a character trait. Humility is what God is in Himself, and the only one who will display and exhibit it, is that one who has been consistently in the presence of God. It is humbling to be there and that is why Moses could state it not as a credit to himself, but to God, out of whose presence that humility was established. God requires still that His prophetic men be in His presence.
I want to say that there is nothing more difficult for anyone than this requirement. Everything contends against it-the dinner bell, the faucet is dripping, the light bulb needs to be changed, the dogs need to be fed - a thousand things continually nipping at you that require attention. Even if that were not so, there is something about the pulse of the flesh itself that is inimical and opposed to seeking the Lord. Seeking the Lord is an extraordinarily difficult thing and few have sufficeint incentive. It is a suffering, and in fact, just to be more ruthlessly honest, it is a dying. Living on the earth, in the flesh, in the world and in time, and to confide and to commune with God, is an extraordinary and ultimate attainment. If you attain it, then maintain it, because you do not want to have to do it all over again. Can you maintain it and still go to last night's birthday party, and dancing, and hooting, and singing, and stomping and not lose it or be jarred from your sensitive spiritual place by what seems to be just a time of fun?
We can know when the word (proceeds from) the council of God because it has this salutary effect. It will affect the nation or fellowship in turning it toward God, rather than away from Him and from their evil ways and their practices. I can remember a full gospel breakfast where the speaker was from Sweden, a leading evangelical personality, but it could have been anywhere. He was wearing a Gucci shirt and tie and a silk-type suit, and he began by saying, "The Lord has spoken to me this morning and given me a word for you." I leaned forward to catch every syllable that had come from the heart of God. As I heard it, however, there was nothing from God at all, but clichés, evangelical phrases and full gospel hogwash.The men who were hearing that word that morning, and nodding their heads, and "amening", applauding and affirming, need to know that there are consequences when we allow that kind of monumental lie to be expressed and not to be contradicted. It will deaden and dull our sensitivity so that the next time we will be an even greater candidate for deception for anything that comes down the pike.
There needed to be someone in that audience that morning to get up and say, "I am sorry for whatever pain and dislocation I am going to cause, but I cannot allow that phrase and that statement to be made in our hearing without being contested. That was not the word of God and we dare not allow that kind of terminology to be employed merely to sanctify or to give a kind of credibility to what is otherwise just an ordinary statement." How often is that being done and to what extent has our failure to do so, had a negative effect on the church today? We have paid much for cheap, casual references to God, as if we could invoke Him at pleasure or say, "God gave", when He did not give.
The same ones who will dismiss God rudely are the same ones who will invoke Him lightly. Prophets are called to come into that whole scenario, and bring the sword of the Lord, and bring the fear of the Lord, and the truth of the Lord to people who have been long spoiled by such cheapy things as I am now describing, and as every one of us at one time or another, more than we would like, have experienced. This is why we have anguished and God is calling a halt.
That is why there are false prophets. That is why, if I can say it, the Charismatic and kindred movements themselves are kind of false movements, wanting the effulgence of the Spirit and the excitement and the activity, but evading the cross and the necessity for suffering out of which the Spirit of God is given as solace, comfort and power. We come back again and again to the cross. The false prophet speaks words of comfort when God would not have His people to be comforted, but to be agitated. True prophets can bear the reprisal, the rejection and the mortification of that word coming back into their own teeth. They can bear giving the word and then someone cueing the piano player to drown it out.
Prophetic anguish is to bring the word of God and then to have it refused and come right back into your teeth. It is mortifying and the antithesis of the joy and the gratification that comes when the word of God flows out of you, and through, and into the people who are receiving it. That is like tonic for your soul. We have to be as willing for the one as the other, or we will not speak the other. The call to the prophet is the call to the cross. It is a frequent, if not continual form of suffering of an exquisite and ultimate kind. Can we say, "Thus says the Lord" without actually articulating those words or implying those words in your statement, except that your word has come through the cross? It is out of a death. It is not your own word, but His, which can only come from that cross-centered place. That was true for the prophets before the advent of the cross. Elijah preceded the cross, but he knew the death of it when he said, "...there shall be neither dew nor rain these years, except by my word." Jesus knew the cross before He knew the cross. The cross only exemplified and made visible the thing to which His life was all along submitted.

Is there or should there be a Biblical order when Christians assemble? 1Timothy 3:15, ...I write so that you may know how you ought to conduct yourself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.

Revelation of The ONE True Church
Does God consider denominations or a building built by men's hands to be His Church, or is it something else? Have 'traditions' of men replaced God's power and Scripture definition of the "church"?
Prepared by J Israel
Mark 7:9, Jesus warned the religious, "All too well you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition."
1Corinthians 3:16, "Do you not know that YOU are THE TEMPLE of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you…"
1Peter 2:5, "…you also, as living stones, are being built up a SPIRITUAL HOUSE, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ."
1Peter 4:10, "As EACH ONE has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God."
Romans 15:14, "Now I myself am confident concerning you, my brethren, that you also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish ONE ANOTHER."
Romans 12:4, "…but all the members do NOT have the same function…"
Romans 12:6-8, "Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us USE THEM: if prophecy, let us prophesy in proportion to our faith; or ministry, let us use it in our ministering; he who teaches, in teaching; he who exhorts, in exhortation; he who gives, with liberality; he who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness."
1Timothy 4:14, "Do not neglect the gift that is in you…"
YES! True Christians are powered by the Holy Spirit and EVERY MEMBER is instructed to minister as the Lord has gifted them! Does your Christian fellowship look like this?
1Corinthians 12:4-11, "There are diversities of GIFTS, but the same Spirit. There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing's by the same Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills."
Proper biblical order of congregational/assembly ministry…
1Corinthians 14:30-40, "But if anything is revealed to ANOTHER WHO SITS BY, let the first keep silent. For you can ALL prophesy one by one, that ALL may learn and ALL may be encouraged. And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets. For God is not the author of confusion but of peace, as in ALL the churches of the saints. Let your women keep silent in the churches, for they are not permitted to speak; but they are to be submissive, as the law also says. And if they want to learn something, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is shameful for women to speak in church. Or did the word of God come originally from you? Or was it you only that it reached? If anyone thinks himself to be a prophet or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things which I write to you are the commandments of the Lord. But if anyone is ignorant, let him be ignorant. Therefore, brethren, desire earnestly to prophesy, and do not forbid to speak with tongues. Let ALL things be done decently and in order."
So, what about Christian leaders who reject the Holy Spirit's power and/or refuse to allow the members of the true congregation the LIBERTY to function in their legitimate God-given spiritual gift?
Regarding those APPEARING religious, 2 Tim. 3:5, "…having a form of godliness but DENYING its POWER, from such people TURN AWAY!"
Should you partake with so-called Christian assemblies and congregations that allow/tolerate self-professing Christians who continue to engage in blatant and unrepentant sin?
1 Cor. 5:11, "But now I have written unto you NOT to keep company, if any man that is called a BROTHER/BELIEVER be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolator, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; do NOT even eat with such a one.
Titus 2:15, "…exhort and rebuke with all authority. Let no one despise you."
Jesus identified TRUE place of worship;
John 4:21-24, Jesus/Salvation said unto her, "Woman, believe me, the hour is coming, when you shall NEITHER in this mountain, nor YET at Jerusalem, worship the Father. You worship you know NOT what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH for the Father seeks such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him MUST worship him in spirit and in truth."
June 29, 2016 (Revised)
During the week Yahshua/Salvation was crucified there were two Sabbaths. For the math to compute, Salvation would have had to been buried on a Thursday just before twilight of Passover, the day before the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, which is a Festival Sabbath. Therefore, the popular teaching that Yahshau/Salvation died on a Friday before the weekly Sabbath quite simply DOES NOT FULLY COMPUTE mathematically and is a BLATANT CONTRADICTION to our Savior and Deliverer's Word!
Catholocism's Pope: "We encounter problems whenever we think that relationships or people ought to be perfect, or when we put ourselves at the center and expect things to turn out our way. Then everything makes us impatient, everything makes us react aggressively. Unless we cultivate patience, we will always find excuses for responding angrily. We will end up incapable of living together, antisocial, unable to control our impulses, and our families will become battlegrounds. That is why the word of God tells us: 'Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, with all malice' (Ephesians 4:31). Patience takes root when I recognize that other people also have a right to live in this world, just as they are. It does not matter if they hold me back, if they unsettle my plans, or annoy me by the way they act or think, or if they are not everything I want them to be. Love always has an aspect of deep compassion that leads to accepting the other person as part of this world, even when he or she acts differently than I would like." (#92 Amoris Laetitia {Pope Francis})
As I read (the above) passage from Pope Francis' recently released Post Synodic Apostolic Exhortation, I immediately thought "What about when (people) act differently than God requires? What about when we are striving to keep God at the center?" These questions gave rise to the following train of thought:
Was Christ unloving, and worthy of blame for angering some people, because he said "Be ye perfect even as your Father in Heaven is perfect. …"?
Today, people who reject God's provisions for human nature may react aggressively to those who witness truthfully for God's will in defense of nascent human life, or His provision for procreation by means that respect the prerequisites of human consciousness and individuality. This assault on God's truth has turned some families into battlegrounds. Are we then called to retreat from truthful witness, even though, by doing so, we would lend credence to the scandal that is presently betraying our children to perdition?
What of Christ - who said:
"Do not think I came to send peace upon earth: I came not to send peace, but the sword. For I came to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. And a man's ENEMIES shall be they of his own household. He that loves father or mother more than me, is not worthy of me; and he that loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me." (Matthew 34-37)
Which words are true: Those of Christ or those that appear to contradict Him? Apparently, Christ did not think it compassionate, toward ourselves or others, to surrender our relationship with Him in truth, in order to maintain our worldly relationships with lies.
In 2004, when I was running against Barack Obama in Illinois, I had a meeting with two pastors who reproached me because I would not back away from my defense of innocent life in order to win the support of pro-abortion Republicans, such as then Illinois GOP Chairwoman Judy Topinka. I patiently explained that doing so would betray God and the meaning of justice the United States is founded upon. Throughout the meeting, I defended that stand. They waxed angry and impatient because I would not relent.
I have no doubt that many who look to Christ have had similar conversations, even with people in their own families. Simply because we will not pretend to love them more than we love Christ's presence within us, these others now harbor bitter feelings against us, feelings we in no way reciprocate. But doesn't respect for Christ's presence oblige us to say to God, with Christ, "Not my will but thine be done"? Shouldn't that obligation hold, even if it means that our own hearts break upon the hardened hearts of others; even if it leads others to demand that we be crucified upon a cross of God-defying lies about the "right" to follow ways of living (lifestyles) that abandon God's standard for what is right?
Is this not our cross, which we must bear for the sake of Christ, who said "he that does not take up his cross, and follow me, is not worthy of me"? If, for the sake of worldly relationships, we abandon the perfect standard of God's love; if for the sake of peace in the home or in the world we abandon the standard of God's truth; if we look away from the standard of Christ's way, to accept that it is right to live according to a way that rejects the Word and will of our Father in Heaven, are we truly acting with love and charity?
Is it love for others when we encourage them, by our acceptance, to follow ways of life that God sees as ways of death and dying? (Proverbs 14:12: "There is a way which seems right to a man; But the end thereof are the ways of death.") Is it love to smile and applaud as our loved ones follow those ways of death; or as they join themselves with the workers of iniquity who encourage others to follow those ways? Is it love, or is it a path that makes us workers of iniquity, of whom the Psalmist says to the Lord "You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness, nor shall evil dwell with You. … You hate all workers of iniquity. …" (Psalms 5:5)?
For is it not iniquity when we knowingly encourage people who are following the ways of death to believe that they "have the right" to live according to those ways? Surely, they may freely choose to do so, for that freedom is the root of moral responsibility. But to say that it is right is a soul-destroying lie. It turns away from Christ, whose way is truth and life. But if we, who are supposed to represent Christ, speak and act in ways that encourage others as they walk away from God, do we not take His name in vain?
Christ suffered crucifixion rather than exchange God's truth for a lie. For God's sake, aren't we called, as members of Christ's body, to do the same?

BEWARE of LIARS!
Editor's Note: I began praying for unity of "word" Christians and "holy Spirit" Christians over 25 years ago. It is sad to see "word" focused church groups live powerless. Likewise, it is sad to see "Spirit" Church groups live so lawless.
There are two primary covenants found in the Scriptures. There is the First Covenant, which is based on the law that came by Moses, and there is the NEW Covenant, which came by faith and the Holy Spirit and it's called The Gospel of Yahshua/Jesus our Messiah.
The fourth chapter of the letter to the Galatians helps us to understand the basic dynamics of both covenants; the Law covenant and the Salvation and righteousness by FAITH covenant. Those under the first covenant are still bound, and those under the NEW covenant are free.
Some boast in the law and some boast in Messiah/Christ.
So, what LAWS do Yahsua's followers obey? Those following Yahsuah are now led by the Law of Spirit, Law of Faith, Law of Liberty and the Law of God.
2 Corinthians 3:5-6 - Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think of anything as being from ourselves, but our sufficiency is from Abba, who also made us sufficient as ministers of the NEW COVENANT, not of the LETTER but of the Holy Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
2 Corinthians 4:1-5, Therefore, since we have THIS ministry, as we have received mercy, we do not lose heart. But we have renounced the HIDDEN things of shame, not walking in craftiness nor handling the word of God deceitfully, but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God. But even if our gospel (GOSPEL OF MESSIAH) is veiled, it is veiled to those who are PERISHING, whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the GOSPEL of the glory of Messiah/Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them. For we do not preach ourselves, but (we PREACH) Messiah/Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your bondservants for Jesus' sake.
Galatians 3:21-22, Is the law then against the promises of God? Certainly not! For if there had been a law given which could have given life, truly righteousness would have been by the law. But the Scripture has confined all under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.
Romans 3:21 ...now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed...
John 8:32 (Now)...you...know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
Galatians 2:21, "...if righteousness (came) through the law, then Christ died in vain."
RIGHTEOUSNESS ONLY COMES AS A GIFT FROM YAHSHUA/JESUS. BEWARE OF THOSE CLAIMING TO BE MINISTERS OF THE GOSPEL of CHRIST BUT WHOSE MESSAGE CLAIMS RIGHTEOUSNESS COMES FROM SOME OTHER WAY. YES, YAHSHUA IS THE ONLY WAY!
Prophecy in the news revealing the truth, prepared by firstname.lastname@example.com to help explain the end times, last days revelation and prophecy in the news that is beginning to happen all across the United States of America and around the world. Those who accept Yahshua as Lord and Savior, confessing and forsaking their sins, will be forgiven. Rom. 10, & 1 John 1
Are you a member of cultural Christianity? At the end of this article, honestly consider whether or not you are truly a God-pleaser or merely a man pleaser, one who is a follower of the Lord or a follower of man. The answer will surprise many of you and extremely liberate the Lord's chosen, who have been temporarily deceived by doctrines of demons and bound up by man.
Scriptures warn believers that obedience to the Lord and His word will lead to persecution.
Cultural Christianity honors the POPULAR and says you are doing something wrong if people get angry with you or simply reject you when you share the gospel message.
Cultural Christianity puts nationality and ethnicity before or above the kingdom of God and gives preeminence to government regulations above Scripture. By placing faith in ungodly political leaders and esteeming worldly citizenship above their heavenly citizenship they fail to be the salt and light Abba designed them to be.
Acts 5:29, "Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men." 2 Corinthians 5:20, We are "…ambassadors for Christ…" Philippians 3:20, "…our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ,…"
Hebrews 3:19, "Be NOT carried about with divers and strange doctrines." 2Timothy 3:16, ALL Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:…" 2Corinthians 10:5, "…casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God …" 2 Timothy 4:2, "Preach the WORD; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and DOCTRINE." Titus 1:9, "…holding fast the faithful WORD as he has been taught, that he may be able, by sound doctrine, both to exhort and convict those who contradict."
2 Corinthians 10:4, "For the WEAPONS of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;…" Psalm 20:7, "Some TRUST in chariots and some in horses, but we TRUST in the name of the Lord our God." Ephesians 6:12, "For we wrestle NOT against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." Luke 12:22, "And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on." Matthew 10:28, "And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell."
Scripture emphasizes SOWING the word of the Lord.
Cultural Christianity says, "Yahsua/Jesus did not come to judge" and "we are not to judge".
1 Corinthians 6:2&3, "Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world will be judged by YOU, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters? Do you not know that we shall judge angels? How much more, things that pertain to this life?" John 7:24, "Do not judge according to appearance, but JUDGE with righteous judgment." Jeremiah 9:24, "…I am the Lord which exercise loving kindness, JUDGMENT, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight,.." John 9:39, Yahshua said, "For JUDGMENT I have come into this world,…" Isaiah 26:9, "For when (The Lords) judgments are in the earth, The inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness."
WARN THEM of THE WRATH TO COME! Mark 16:15, Yahshua said, "Go into ALL the world and preach the gospel (REPENTANCE as well as remission of sin) to ALL creation."
The US is NOT a great nation as money-loving and deluded people erroneously affirm. The US Government does not want God and is escalating it's war on God, His word, His Covenants, His people and all He stands for.
The US Government has recently begun targeting Christians in the military, even challenging chaplains for praying in the name of Jesus. How great is that for a nation of so-called liberty and religious freedom?
US Government Decides Which Love is Greater
The US Government has decided to redefine God's Covenant of marriage that has been exclusive to a male and female union since inception and for millennia. Now you have more rights in the US if you are a man who calls it "love" to have sex with a man, than a man who declares his love for the Lord by standing up for the integrity and sanctity of God's holy Covenant of marriage.
Now, so-called 'loving' homosexual acts are protected in America as US Government moves to outlaw those who choose to love God, His word and His Covenants.
The US destroys our children by making laws in favor of those who have faith that a person of a different gender is trapped in their body. The US further destroys our children by outlawing the expression of those who have faith that the Lord lives inside of them and they are who God made them to be.
The US Government has also said they will fight terrorism wherever it is found; yet hypocritically, they attack God's Covenant land of Israel by coercing the nation of Jews to divide their land with the Muslim Brotherhood terror group, Palestinian Hamas.
The US foreign policy has also overthrown secular leaders in the Middle East and North Africa only to replace the political vacuum with Muslim Brotherhood terror puppets. This US policy has resulted in the advanced and escalating terror and murder of Arab Christians in Egypt, Libya, Iraq and other Muslim-populated nations.
Meanwhile, President Obama and the US Government remains eerily silent as this murder and genocide of Arab followers of Jesus increases at the hands of their Muslim neighbors, as well as organized Muslim Brotherhood Islamic terror groups.
The United States has been and is increasingly saying no to God, His word, His Covenant and His people. They have been fighting God's Covenants more than any other nation in modern history and they are identified in the Bible as 'Daughter Babylon'.
Daughter Babylon is described as an end of the age nation that rises to great power and falls before the final "Beast" one-world government can arise. After the second angel announces the fall of Babylon, a warning goes out to the world by the third angel warning that those who take mark of the beast government will suffer eternal destruction. (see Revelation 14)
At the time of it's fall, identifiers of the end-of the age Daughter Babylon include being the world's strongest nation militarily, wealthiest nation, filled with a mingled mixed multitude of people from the nations of the world, discovered to be opposing the Lord, defiled the nations with it's corrupt ways, breaker of the bones of God's Covenant people and the destroyers of His heritage.
While it's true that the land of the original Babylon is largely uninhabited desert land, there is a modern, great structure built in the region and it's called "Fortress of America". It is the United States Embassy and greatest seat of power in the region that was once ancient Babylon.
Multi-nation ambush to be sent against 'Daughter Babylon' destroyers of God's heritage!
Jeremiah 50, "I set a trap for you, Babylon, and you were caught before you knew it; you were found and captured because you opposed the Lord.
"The Lord God has said, I will raise and cause to come up against Babylon an assembly of great nations from the north country: and they shall set themselves in array against her; from thence she shall be taken: their arrows shall be as of a mighty expert man; none shall return in vain.
How will America behave before its prophesied destruction?
The depraved, mad and evil USA plans to force vaccinations on its citizens by penalty of law.
The United States plans to force all of its citizens to receive an electronic chip that will be medically inserted into their bodies, as Obamacare doctrines describe is scheduled to happen as early as 2017.
There will be an overthrow of the US Constitution, which has practically begun in so many ways by executive decree.
The attack against Christianity in America will increase to plundering, imprisonment and eventually death in some cases. Followers of Jesus as well as Jews will be oppressed and not be free to leave the nation.
Those who oppose the fallen, corrupt and evil US Government will the marked as 'belligerents' and imprisoned without trial and held indefinitely. Those marked as belligerents by the current administration are 'border control advocates' who disagree with illegal entry to the US. Also, gun owners, militia members, abortion opponents, Bible believers, Constitutionalists, Veterans and others with conservative ideology are now considered to be more of a threat than Muslim terror.
Even now the noose is being set by the US Government to militarily put down any political dissent by the states.
What direction does the Lord have for His followers?
Jeremiah 50, "Remove out of the midst of Babylon, and go forth out of the land of the Chaldeans, and be as the he goats before the flocks.
"Therefore hear ye the counsel of the Lord, that he hath taken against Babylon; and his purposes, that he hath purposed against the land of the Chaldeans: Surely the least of the flock shall draw them out: surely he shall make their habitation desolate with them."
Jeremiah 51 also confirms God's direction for His followers, "Flee from Babylon! Run for your lives! Do not be destroyed because of her sins. It is time for the Lord's vengeance; he will repay her what she deserves. Babylon was a gold cup in the Lord's hand; she made the whole earth drunk. The nations drank her wine; therefore they have now gone mad.
The United States does not want the Lord God or his laws. They are beginning to see what life is like without God and His laws. He will fully remove His provision and His protection.
Where the Spirit of the Lord is there is liberty. Now, you will see what life is like when the Holy Spirit is no longer welcome in America.
Unless you repent America, the loss of freedom will be followed by utter destruction!Prophecy in the news revealing the truth, prepared by email@example.com to help explain the end times, last days revelation and prophecy in the news that is beginning to happen all across the United States of America and around the world.

Although we are not educated in linguistics and our ability to speak Hebrew is limited, we have just enough of the Holy Spirit residing in us to know how to distinguish between truth and lies, between fact and fiction. We will show you how the name "Jesus" is neither a translation nor a transliteration… not even close!
Scripture instructs us to test and to PROVE all things (1 Thessalonians 5:21). In order to help you see and know the truth about The Messiah's name, a primary objective of this article is to help you understand the difference between translation and transliteration.
Simply stated, translation is an effort to declare the 'meaning' of a word, and transliteration is an attempt to match the 'pronunciation' of a word. With that said, we are attempting to answer the conflict, strife, contention and debate over the failure to correctly translate The Messiah Savior's name, and expose the horrible attempt to rename Him "Jesus".
Most understand that Bible Scripture was not written in English and that there was an obvious need for translation from the original Hebrew and Greek texts. Interesting to note, the vast majority of modern English Holy Bible translations teams are largely in agreement.
It is very important to note that the letter 'J' did not exist in any alphabet prior to the 14th century; in the 1611 King James Bible the letter "J" was absent, and the name you now know as Jesus was written with an "i", the Greek letter for "y" and spelled "iesous". The "us" was added to "ieso" by Greek translators to assign masculinity or male gender to the name. So, the question remains; what is the Son of God's TRUE name?
Over 2,000 years ago in two separate events, the angels of the Lord provided both Joseph and Mary with the name of the Child of God entrusted to them. The Hebrew birth name of our Savior is now pronounced by most modern day Hebrew followers of the Messiah as "Yahshua" and "Yeshua" ("Yeh Shah" is modern Hebrew for Salvation).
Clearly, it's difficult to simply rely on modern Jews for the proper name pronunciation due to a non-unanimous agreement. This approach at name pronunciation leaves us with a feeling of loss.
Good News!
Although there's not yet a consensus on the exact Hebrew 'pronunciation', most, if not all, do agree that the direct translation or meaning of our Savior's Hebrew name in English is "Salvation" and "Deliverance".
So, while the pronunciation of our Savior's original Hebrew name remains a point of contention for many, the general consensus is that the accurate English translation or meaning of His name is "Salvation and Deliverance". Correctly translated to English, we are correct to call our Lord "Savior and Deliverer".
Bible Scripture has clearly translated His name for us to English. Not only have we now learned the correct translation for yahshua/yehshua/yahuwah/iesous/iesus/jesus, we've also learned His virgin mother called Him Immanuel, which is translated "God Is With Us".
Therefore, the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. (Isaiah 7:14)
Immanuel = God With Us
So, you don't speak Hebrew? No worries! We encourage you to leave the pronunciation assumptions, strife, conflict and contention behind! May you find your rest and hope in Immanuel the Messiah Yahshua, "GOD WITH US, THE ONE ANNOINTED SAVIOR and DELIVERER".
Now, when you do a study of the word "Salvation" in the Old Testament, you will be pleasantly surprised how our Messiah has been revealed from the very beginning.
A BIG Fall
The Supreme Court illegally legislates from the bench and makes OPINIONS diametrically opposed to Bible Scriptures, ultimately holding all of history in contempt. The Obama Administration makes executive orders that are the antithesis of the US Constitution, and the legislative branch, having no pulse of it's own, languishes on life support ready for burial.
President Obama correctly declares that the United States is no longer a Christian nation, but extremely exaggerates his claim the US could now be considered a Muslim nation, though it reflects his true desire.
Meanwhile, as homosexuals publicly parade lewdly and without restraint, American Christians are regularly imprisoned for sharing Bible Scriptures on the 'wrong public sidewalks' or 'too loudly' according to a police officer's opinion. Even now the US has stepped up it's attack by imprisoning people for Bible Beliefs, such as Kim Davis, a county commissioner in Kentucky, who refused to submit to homosexual beliefs that are contrary to Abba's law as well as Kentucky law.
What else is on the agenda?
Continuing with a Middle East policy that favors Muslims and one that has escalated the murder and genocide of Arab Bible believers, whitehouse.gov reveals the Obama Administration's desire and goal to divide the God covenanted land of Israel by giving it to the Muslim Brotherhood terror puppet, Palestinian Hamas. Giving no recourse to the nation of Israel to resist the terrorist occupiers in their land, the US hypocritically maintains their own right to resist terror "wherever it is found".
Meanwhile, after much delay, the US Government plans to use it's paper tiger, the United Nations, to move forward with plans to make a UN resolution during the upcoming 70th UN session, beginning September 15, 2015, declaring a Palestinian state within Israel's sovereign borders.
Warnings Delayed Agenda, Delayed Punishment
Obama and the UN had plans to unilaterally declare a Palestinian state within Israel's borders in September of 2011. However, after the White House received several communications in the spring and summer of 2011, containing Biblical warnings for any nation dividing the Lord's covenant land of Israel, the United Sates capital received warnings in the form of a very uncommon and rare 5.8 earthquake, which was quickly followed by an equally rare hurricane. Making these two unique DC events more historically significant was the fact they occurred during the same week and damaged the Washington Monument and several DC buildings.
Very soon after the earthquake and hurricane hit Washington DC in August 2011, prior to the September 2011, UN session, President Obama publicly announced that it was neither the time nor the right forum to divide the nation of Israel by unilaterally declaring a Palestinian state with a UN resolution. I think he got the message.
What nations do shall be done to them!
Today, there is talk of making Jerusalem an International City, a city of the world belonging to no single nation. If the US and UN succeed in this latest attempt to divide the Lord's holy and covenanted land of Israel, you can expect to see Washington DC cease as the US capital, as the judgment of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob decrees:
"The day of the Lord is near for ALL NATIONS. As you have done, it will be done to you; your deeds will return upon your own head." Obadiah 1:15
Goodbye Washington DC
So, the USA's ongoing plans to cause Jerusalem to cease as Israel's capital will only seal the fate of Washington DC to cease as the US capital. In fact, the UN will cease to have New York as their current capital seat of corruption. And these events will happen as the hand of the Lord allows.
Can we know the timing of the judgments of the Lord for any nation breaking covenant and/or dividing His holy and covenanted land of Israel?
First, the Lord reveals the judgment for any nation merely burdening themselves with 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 12:3
The mere desire to be burdened with Jerusalem, results in that nation or nations to be cut in pieces; issues and events will divide their land and divide their people.
What is the Biblical timing of the Lord's judgment?
"In those days and at that time, when I restore the fortunes of Judah (Jews) and Jerusalem, I will gather all nation and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat. There I will put them on trial or what they did to my inheritance, my people Israel, because they scattered my people among the nations and divided up my land." Joel 3:1-2
Clearly, the House of Judah (Jews) returning to the land of Israel in 1948 is a sign of the restoration that signals a time of judgment for the nations; however, they were not yet restored to their ancient capital of Jerusalem until 1967. But was this then the time spoken of by Joel that the Lord finally restored the Jews and Jerusalem after 1900 years?
It was not until Russia released their Jews in 1990, to return to Israel that most Jews were able to be restored to the holy and covenanted land of Abba. Most, but still not all.
Biblically prophetic history was quietly made when Sephardic Jews were recently granted the right of return.
Only recently, the Sephardic Jews , those Jews expelled by Catholocism in 1492 Spain, have been granted the right of return to Israel, making it official that no Jews in the world are restricted from returning to Israel. All Judah (Jews), including the Sephardim of Central and South America are now free to return to Jerusalem! (see Obadiah 1:19-21)
Clearly, the time of judgment for the nations is at hand. Repent, follow and serve the Lord Jesus (Yahshua) while you still have breath. The world is about to change drastically and many will be destroyed. But the Lord will quickly blind their weapons of annihilation before they make a complete end of the world.
Mark 13:20, "And except that the Lord had shortened those days no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he has chosen, he has shortened the days."

This article revealing the final Temple of the Lord is going to sadden many hearts because it is not what itching ears want to hear. Others will read this and shout for joy!
While Americanized Christianity has a fixation on a man made temple, our great God Yahshua ha'Mashiach has already kicked off construction of His one true holy Temple, and the foundation is available for all to see.
Temple revelation for true followers of Yahshua is found in Ephesians 2:19-22, "Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, having been built on the FOUNDATION of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ (Yahshua ha'Mashiach) Himself being the chief cornerstone, in whom the WHOLE BUILDING, being fitted together, grows into a HOLY TEMPLE in the Lord, in whom you also are being built together for a DWELLING PLACE of God in the Spirit."
Sadly, church goers are increasingly more intrigued with an anticipated man made temple that an anti-Christ figure will set up shop in.
Clearly, the Lord has elected to build a spiritual Temple with the apostles and the prophets as THE foundation… and Yahshua is the chief cornerstone.
Beware of such people as they unwittingly reveal that they're building a house with a foundation DIFFERENT from the one that Jesus has already begun.
Meanwhile, ALL true followers of Yahshua are invited to be fitted together in the Temple construction, 'you also are being built together for a DWELLING PLACE of God in the Spirit'.
True followers of Yahshua are also invited to partake in Temple building, 1 Corinthians 3:9-10, "For we are God's fellow workers; you are God's field, you are God's building. According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I have laid the foundation, and another builds on it. But let each one take heed how he builds on it."
Are you being built on the Lord's true Temple foundation or part of a man-made good idea of building God's Temple?
Who is the head of your temple? Who is the HEAD of your local fellowship meeting? Are you all brethren and fellow workers, or just a man-made leader or two and the rest sheeple?
Do you not know we are ALL co-workers in the Holy Temple of Yahshua?
Where Yahshua ha'Mashiach is the head of His House, the whole body of believers works together, Ephesians 4:15-16, "…speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the HEAD—Christ— from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love."
Yes, ALL Yahshua's men are His royal priesthood, not just one or two elected leaders from each congregation as factions (denominations) lead you to believe. We are all to be co-workers…
1Peter 2:5, "…you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ."
1Timothy 4:14, "Do not neglect the gift that is in you..."
God's Temple order extends into our homes…
Ephesians 5:23, "For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is HEAD of the church; and He is the Savior of the body."
Hallelujah! The One True Holy Temple of God is being built!
AMERICANIZED Christianity is an INVENTION of man and NOT built upon the FOUNDATION Christ has laid.

Young Americans Can Claim Their Social Security Benefits Now!
by Jonathan Israel
Government laws have been changed (America's marriage law) to provide benefits for men and women with gender identity confusion. Subsequently, the new law sets precedent for people who feel old inside, irregardless of the reality of their true age identity, to now qualify for and immediately receive their social security benefits.
Irregardless of the facts listed on one's birth certificate, it is now en vogue and legal in the USA for one to demand and receive the government's respect and benefits for NOT internally identifying with the truth about one's gender.
Gender identity crisis began in a big way throughout Americanized churches when they refused to follow God's instructions for each gender. Clearly there is solid Scriptural doctrine for the role of a woman, and specific Scriptural doctrine for a man's role; however, without outlining those clearly identified roles in this article, it is enough to point out that gender specific doctrines are ignored to the point of a major gender identity crisis in and now, out of the churches.
Meanwhile, the United States Government continues its opposition to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob by redefining God's holy covenant of marriage, supposedly to show respect and to provide benefits for all who are confused about their true gender and the sexual identity listed on their birth certificates.
The US has joined the fray and also ignores the truth, as well as the facts on one's birth certificate, so they may pay respect to a person based on their personally perceived belief about gender and also to provide them with US Government benefits. That was the basic reasoning for the US Supreme Court to redefine marriage that has been exclusive to a male and female union since inception and for millennia. Now, American law honors internally confused people with the right to a same sex marriage and all the US Government benefits of a God-ordained male and female union.
Soon, those who want to marry multiple spouses will fight for and win their "respect" and benefits from the morally perverted and corrupted United States. It is a slippery slope and begs the question, 'how soon will the US allow "respect" for those who want to marry an animal or a child?'
Well, we all know that the US Government now pays their respect to someone who claims a sexual identity other than what the facts and their birth certificate reveals, simply because of a person's self perception. So, will those who perceive themselves to be a septuagenarian (a person between 70 to 79 years old), irregardless of what the truth is and what their birth certificate reveals, now receive honor and respect from the US Government?
Do the new US laws open the door to give respect and benefits to all who feel they are a septuagenarian, irregardless of the truth simply because they feel old? Will all those under retirement age be able to get respect and social security benefits based on how old they feel inside?Yes, because they have forsaken God and His laws, new US laws providing government benefits to a man who claims to be a woman inside has set the legal precedent allowing a 40 year old to claim retirement age.
So, how many people out there feel older than they really are?
Based upon the USA's newest philosophy of law, the USA is now legally obligated to provide you with the social security benefits of a true retirement aged person no matter how old you really are on the outside as long as you feel old on the inside? Anything less would be discriminatory, disrespectful, biased and illegal.
Alarming to behold, the new American legal philosophy has opened the door for all who reject the truth to claim and live a lie.

Churches Fly Christian Flag Above US Flag
As the Confederate flag comes under attack and the colors of the rainbow covers the White House and the nation, there are churches in the United States who have had the epiphany that God's Kingdom is obviously higher than the USA.
Responding with an attempt to honor the one true God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, pastors have now decided to place the Christian flag above the US flag.
After noticing a nearby church flying the Christian flag above the US flag, Pastor Rit Varriale of Cleveland County, NC raised the Christian flag above the American flag in front of Elizabeth Baptist Church.
Could this signal the beginning of an awakening that is long overdue in the United States? Or is it just another pathetic Americanized attempt to identify as Christian without obedience to the Bible?

All true followers of Jesus must rise up and take a stand against America's anti-christ attack against Jesus' covenant of marriage you hold dearly and by which you live. Be bold to declare to the world that you will not be forced to partake in or be associated with anything that brings dishonor and shame to your God, Jesus Christ.
Marriage is not a step to happiness. It is not something you do to obtain love or some emotion. Marriage is not a loophole to avoid the pain of loneliness. Marriage is a commitment to honor Jesus!
The United States' Government has no right to handle Jesus' Covenant of Marriage. The United States' Government has no authority over Jesus' definitions or laws.
A message to carnal governments, homosexuals, fornicators, adulterers and anyone else who does not love Jesus enough to follow Him or obey Him, God's word says: "What right have you to declare My Statutes, or take My covenant in your mouth, seeing you hate instruction and cast My words behind you (Psalms 50:16-17).
Part 2
It's time for Christians to separate from Americas marriage institution that honors the homosexual doctrine, dishonoring Jesus' doctrine and those who follow Him.

PROPHECY! USA Ignorantly Raising Up Own Destroyers!
Isaiah 32:9-11, "You women who are so COMPLACENT, rise up and listen to me; you daughters who feel secure, hear what I have to say! In little more than a year you who feel secure will tremble; the grape harvest will fail, and the harvest of fruit will not come. Tremble, you complacent women; shudder, you daughters who feel secure! Strip off your fine clothes and wrap yourselves in rags."
Yes, Isaiah confirms poverty, pain and persecution will come upon the COMPLACENT among the Lord's people too. False security of worldly prosperity and earthly success will fail, including in the USA.
The Fall of America!
In the 1960's, the US Government outlawed prayer and the Holy Bible from public schools. Worldly influenced, Americanized religious leaders remained silent, submitted and COMPLACENT.
With this grossly obvious lack of moral high ground, the USA has since engaged in many futile and unwinnable wars, used the CIA to instigate civil wars resulting in the death of multitudes of innocent civilians, and even now the USA threatens war with Russia and China. America would be amiss and deceived to believe their victories of the past ensure dominance in the future. After all, Daughter Babylon falls before the final one-world beast government takes preeminence. (Revelation 14:8-9)
In line with its extreme embrace of corruption and perverseness, America's evil silence to the flowing blood of Christian martyrs solidifies culpability . So, how much time do you have before the US Government brings its road show home? Will you be silent then?
Daughter Babylon CAUGHT Opposing the Lord and Destroying His Heritage!
So, why is God telling His people to flee from such wealth, comfort, power, prosperity and success?
Muslim Nations Called by God to AMBUSH the world's rich and powerful nation, Daughter Babylon!
Unless the United States repents, an ambush from a coalition of nations will rain complete destruction on the land. The leading nations of the ambush that the Lord is calling and inviting to destroy Daughter Babylon include Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz. Also, the Lord calls for the Medes, and those nations that they lead, to attack and totally destroy Daughter Babylon.
Iran has the largest population of Shia Muslims and is the leader holding sway among the Shia Muslim nations. And Turkey has the largest population of Sunni Muslims and is the emerging leader of the Sunni Muslim nations. Yes, God is calling the Muslim nations to come together to destroy the end-of-days wealthiest nation, "hammer of the earth", filled with a mixed multitude of nationalities that has engaged in the destruction of God's heritage, which includes His Covenants.
The COMPLACENCY of the entire world is also costly as the following Bible Scriptures reveal God's thoughts, nature, ways and warnings when dealing with such haughty unrepentance. (Isaiah 6:9)
Tyrannical Leadership to Follow Your Complacency!
Destruction of animals, birds, fish and ALL mankind!
Proverbs 1:32-33, "For the waywardness of the simple will kill them, and the COMPLACENCY of fools will destroy them; but whoever listens to me will live in safety and be at ease, without fear of harm."
2 Peter 3:9-14, "The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Editor's note: Beware of those COMPLACENT ones headed for destruction in God's wrath and punishment who say, "I know that's what the word of God says, but I'm not doing it." And those who say, "Sure, it's the word of God, so what?"

Egypt has just confirmed what President Obama will NOT; the Islamic Palestinian Hamas is a terrorist organization.
On Saturday, 2/28/15, an Egyptian court has ruled that Hamas is a terrorist organization. Egypt passed the Terrorist Entities Law, spelling out how to identify terrorist groups and organizations. Hamas is an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood, which Egypt also banned.
The Palestinian Hamas, the Islamist group governing the Gaza strip, has been in a conflict with Egypt since the military coup in 2013, when the Egyptian people demanded the ouster of former President, Mohammed Morsi, a high ranking member of the Muslim Brotherhood. In an overwhelming display of public opinion, the Egyptian people adamantly rejected Morsi, Islamic rule, Sharia law and those in its association; the Muslim Brotherhood terror group. Meanwhile, unwilling to admit or expose Muslim terrorism, President Obama forges stronger ties with the politically charged Muslim Brotherhood, whose doctrinal goal is world domination. Working his evil Islamic agenda, the president also continues to pressure Israel to give their sovereign land to the politically motivated Muslim Brotherhood terror puppet, the Palestinian Hamas.
Do you know why the escalating murder and beheadings of Christians does not offend President Obama enough to speak up for them? Do you know why he has praised Islam and condemned Christianity at the same cadence of escalating Muslim terror?
Do you know why the US Government fails to acknowledge that the politically charged and rising Islamic terror is powered by Qu'ran doctrines, which instruct Muslim followers to violently subdue all people and all nations?
Ignorantly sympathizing with Muslims or something more sinister, the US president has embarked on an immoral agenda as he removed secular Middle East leaders from power in countries such as Egypt and Libya, only to replace them with Muslim Brotherhood hacks. Meanwhile, the Islamic murder of Arab Christians increases almost daily at the hands of US backed Muslim terrorists in Syria. Do you know why? As the world watches, President Obama is extremely focused on the overthrow of Syrian president, Bashar al-Assad, only to replace him with the next Muslim Brotherhood puppet leader.
Al Qaeda Muslim terrorists, now called ISIS and ISIL, militarily equipped by the US ('by accident') on numerous occasions, are now being directed to invade Syria.
The Sweden-based Assyrian Network for Human Rights in Syria said it has documented the Muslim terrorists abducted over 250 Arab Christians in Syria (Feb. 2015). So, it looks like the plan for US boots on the ground may finally be acceptable to the American people. Then, it's goodbye, Assad… hello, Muslim Brotherhood. The insane US Middle East/North Africa policy, which has assisted the advancement of the Muslim Brotherhood's political power base, means more Bible believers will continue to DIE at the hands of Islamic terror.
Soon, the fruits of this evil road show will come to our land of the free no more.
President Obama, and by association all of America are now GUILTY of the blood of martyrs currently being spilled by Islam, that politically violent and bloody religion that modern history shows the USA has already militarily supported in Egypt and Libya.
Soon, everyone will bow before the Lord of lord's and King of kings, Jesus the Christ (Yeshua ha'Mashiach).
Repent, judgment is on the way.

Government Ordained Churches Have Historically Been a Hindrance to The Gospel and Harmful to True Believers
The true Church of Jesus Christ was formed during a time of rejection and great persecution from the government; the one-world government of Rome, as well as from their manipulated and controlled corrupt priests lording over Israel's organized religion.
Over 400 years later, After the government of Rome sanctioned their catholic church, the true followers of Jesus suffered again at the hands of the government-authorized church. Arguably, millions of believers were tortured and killed by this unholy Roman Government and church alliance from the 5th through the 17th Century.
Fast forward to the 20th Century; the church in America began submitting to government control and manipulation in the 1950's, after the Internal Revenue Service introduced a financial benefit for all compliant churches. The 501c3 status for church organizations meant the IRS would provide them with tax exemption in return for their submission to a policy that hindered the church from making a political stand during elections, thus hindering the church from impacting the laws and issues affecting the whole of society.
Please note that the primary demand of a godless, satanically-controlled government is for churches to be under their submission and to have no voice in politics or the laws of the land. Shining the light on this US policy is the Book of Revelation, which reveals that satan's end-time power play is to establish and empower a POLITICAL (beast) government, which is to be endorsed by a whorish false church.
The Americanized church bought the lie of satan and has denied and/or forgotten their God-given political or governing authority. The godless US Government has allowed the church to be priests but stopped them from being KINGS. Yet Jesus has shed his blood to give us an identity that has no separation of church and state.
"Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, And has made us KINGS and PRIESTS…" Rev 1:5&6
The Americanized church sold out for the monetary reward of tax exemption, and the US Government ultimately received liberal governing authority from the church to advanced it's evil agenda without interference; first, by outlawing prayer and the Bible in public schools in the 1960's. Then, by legalizing the murder of baby in mommy's belly in 1973.
For the sake of worldly gain, churches submitted to 501c3 status and rules. America's churches have now become organizations consigned to government control and manipulation.
In Matthew 6:24, Jesus warned us that we could not serve two masters. We can only choose one alliance, not both. The evidence is seen in how the churches forsook God's leadership and word regarding their role in society and surrendered to secular governing authority.
In Mark 16:15, God's word says "go into ALL the world and preach the Gospel to every creature", but these churches only go where the US Government tells them they can go. They only do what the government gives them permission to do.
Americanized churches do not take the gospel to the school children because they honor Government rules above God's commands. They have surrendered the school children to the government that teaches demonic doctrines, such as the atheist mantra that they evolved from apes.
By abandoning their calling and election from God, these government-controlled submissive Churches have now consigned their children to unholy school teachings that encourage them to engage in sexual activity, homosexuality and abortion.
In spite of the US Government's ever increasing expanse of gross darkness over the people; including being the world's number one exporter of porn, abortion and homosexual marriages, the compromised, government ruled church hides behind four walls and a pulpit, ignoring Bible Scriptures, blindly declaring the United States to be a great nation.
With no noticeable godly or holy impact on our modern society, government-controlled Christianity in America is faltering invention of man. Of course, there are those mega churches focused on self-fulfillment and worldly success with a fleshly blend of entertainment that are increasing in number. But overall, those "claiming" Christianity have been on the decline, while, satan worship and spiritualism is on the rise.
Meanwhile, the church in China is seeing greater growth in overall numbers. But the growth is not happening in China's government-controlled and authorized churches. Rather, it's the underground Christian church that's increasingly fruitful. They're making such an impact that the Chinese government is now actively and aggressively persecuting these true followers of Jesus with an intensity not seen since the social revolution. Nevertheless, many believe that China will soon be home to the largest Christian population on earth.
So, in spite of increased government opposition, how is it that Christians in China are able to operate with such power and effectiveness; achieving real growth; the salvation of souls and revival in their communities, while the church in America flounders and diminishes?
Unlike Americanized Christianity, the followers of Jesus in China choose submission to the Lord's kingship above the lordship of government control. They have elected to be obedient to God's word and ways above the word and ways of man. They are willing to suffer for their faith rather than to compromise for worldly government favor. They are willing to die for Jesus.
Americanized Christianity does not know, nor does it walk in the effectual fullness of the power of the Lord, because they do not follow Him according to His word, His ways or His Spirit. They have chosen to forsake God's commands, so now their Government masters have followed suit; morphing into an evil reflection of that lawless iniquity.
As government-controlled churches drives out the true and faithful to Jesus, and as the USA breaks the bones of the church, the true believers who follow Jesus are going out from Babylon and going into the wilderness, where the Lord has prepared a great harvest.
See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland. Isaiah 43:19

Timely instructions and empowering God-breathed incentive are for all who have ears to hear what the Spirit is saying. Share these pearls with your children with due diligence. The hour is later than most care to believe.
The world has entered a time the Bible calls 'the beginning of sorrows' and the time of the 'birth pains'. Jesus told us what would follow the birth pains of worldwide suffering…
Matthew 24:9, Jesus said, you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me.
John 15:20 Jesus said, Remember what I told you: 'A servant is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also…
2 Timothy 3:12, In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted…
Mark 13:12, Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death.
Revelation 13:7-8, "...It was given unto him (the final one-world Beast government) to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
Daniel 12:6&7, "...How long shall the fulfillment of these wonders be?" Then I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand to heaven, and swore by Him who lives forever, that it shall be for a time, times, and half a time; and when the power of the holy people has been completely shattered, all these things shall be finished.
How true followers of Jesus will overcome evil and falsehood in the world;
Revelation 12;11, …they overcame him (Satan/Devil) by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
Romans 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
Many faithful have gone before us who were willing to lay down their lives rather than forsake the Lord God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob…
Daniel 3:28, …Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego …yielded their bodies, that they might NOT serve nor worship any god, except their own God.
After the third angel announced warning against worshipping or taking the mark of the final one-world beast government or the man of perdition, the following decree came from Heaven;
Revelation 14:13, …Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yes, says the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; and their works do follow them.
Why are those who die for not taking the mark "blessed"?
The following Bible Scripture explains the added blessing for those who died for Jesus rather than to take the mark and worship the beast or his image.
Revelation 20:4, …I saw the souls of them that were BEHEADED for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
2 Timothy 2:11-12, …Here is a trustworthy saying: If we died with him, we will also live with him; if we endure, we will also reign with him…
Is Jesus your example? In obedience to Father God in Heaven, Jesus came to earth and willingly laid down His life at the right time.
John 10:14-18, Jesus said, "I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me— just as the Father knows me and I know the Father—and I lay down my life for the sheep. (Jesus told the House of Judah, the Jews), I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd. The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life—only to take it up again. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father."
Do you have the mind of Jesus our Messiah?
Philippians 2:5-8, Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death,even the death of the cross.
1 Peter 1:24&25, For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.
Philippians 1:20-21, According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death. For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
1 Peter 1:3-5, Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fades not away, reserved in heaven for YOU, Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

Homosexual Pope?!
Rock icon Elton John is now singing the praises of Pope Francis, for the Catholic leader's willingness to reconsider homosexual marriage as viable.
EJ has been emboldened in his homosexual lifestyle thanks to the new leader of the catholocism.
A well known Bishop reported that the pope of catholicism declared a biblically contrary message regarding homosexuality. A message that emboldens homosexuals like Elton John, rather than convict them of sin.
The London Daily Telegraph reports that Cardinal Timothy Dolan, the outspoken archbishop of New York, said Pope Francis had told him: "Rather than quickly condemn them, let's just ask the questions as to why that (homosexuality) has APPEALED to certain people."
What, what?? Is he joking? That's akin to asking an adulterer why he thinks sex with the new woman is better. Give me a break.
Now, homosexuals like Elton John are not alarmed or convicted about the sin of homosexuality that the word of the Lord CONDEMNS. Rather, after hearing news of the catholic pope's lukewarm message, they are embracing perverted sex to their own destruction.
All any modern, so-called minister of the Bible needs to do to obtain rock star status these days, is to preach another gospel, partial gospel or a different gospel than the one Jesus preached.
Consider America's pop television evangelist from Houston, who has decided to preach love and the forgiveness of sins, while refusing to declare what the Bible says about sin, repentance and the lake of fire.
In spite of all of the false doctrines being spewed by mainstream religion, the word of the Lord found in the Bible will stand the test of time and eternity. In fact, none of the perverted Americanized Christianity has caught our Creator by surprise either.
Holy Scriptures have warned for millennia that the days were coming when people would no longer endure the sound DOCTRINE of God's word found in the Bible. (see 2 Timothy 4:3)
Scriptures reveal that the Pope of catholicism is not even fit to be a Bishop in God's true Church; "For a bishop (elder), as God's steward, must be blameless; he must not be arrogant or quick-tempered or a drunkard or violent or greedy for gain, but hospitable, a lover of goodness, master of himself, upright, holy, and self-controlled; he must hold firm to the sure word as taught, so that he may be able to give instruction in sound DOCTRINE and also to confute those who contradict it." Titus 1:6-9
Mr. Pope, you must repent of your false ways and turn your life over to Jesus. Only through the blood of Jesus can yours or anyone else's sins be forgiven. Neither Mary nor purgatory can save one soul. Church membership can't save anyone either.
And those who engage in perverted sex are destined for Hell, unless they repent.
"We also know that the law is made not for the righteous but for lawbreakers and rebels, the ungodly and sinful, the unholy and irreligious, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers,for the sexually immoral, for those practicing homosexuality, for slave traders and liars and perjurers—and for whatever else is contrary to the sound DOCTRINE that conforms to the gospel concerning the glory of the blessed God, which he entrusted to me."
1 Timothy 1:9-11

TRUE! Believe it or Not
1) The Bible actually teaches Jesus' followers to deny themselves and NOT to live in pursuit of pleasure. Rather, they are to seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness. Matthew 16:24, Romans 15:1-3
2) Followers of Jesus are instructed and empowered to overcome selfish ways and receive the ability or power to be godly and to be Christ-like. As believers learn to deny self, they become free to be more and more like Jesus. 1 Peter 4:1-6, Galatians 4:19
3) Judging? Absolutely! Only hypocrites are warned NOT to judge. The Bible commands true followers of Jesus that they are to judge! John 7:24, 1 Corinthians 6:2-3, 1 Timothy 5:20
4) Believers in Jesus are not only commanded to be perfect, but they are also commanded to be holy. Matthew 5:48, 1 Peter 1:165) Contrary to false teachings, the "seed" represents the word of God and NOT money. Luke 8:11, Mark 4:14, Matthew 13:18-19
6) While it is not necessarily wrong to associate with people of influence and/or success, Scriptures specifically directs followers of Jesus to associate with and befriend the poor and lowly. Romans 12:16, James 2:1-4
7) While false teachings insinuate that the poor are cursed, Jesus declares that the poor are "blessed". Matthew 5:3, James 2:5
8) Scriptures tell us not to associate with anyone named a believer who refuses to work or is living in certain blatantly identifiable sins. The Bible also warns true believers to AVOID those who have the appearance of being religious but who DENY the power of God. 1 Corinthians 5:9-13, 2 Thessalonians 3:6, 2 Timothy 3:5
9) The book of Revelation in the Bible does reveal the end of the age, political power play of satan/lucifer/devil, backed up and erroneously legitimized by a false prophet, whorish religious system. Before Jesus returns, the devil gives all of His power and authority to the final one-world government that will encapsulate all of the diabolical and barbaric attributes of the world's ancient governments, and yet be even worse and more demonic.
Revelation chapter 13
10) The Bible declares that we must go through MUCH tribulation to enter God's Kingdom, Acts 14:22. Jesus said we would have tribulation in the world, John 16:33. But many are unprepared and will become offended and fall away after the great tribulation to come. They will then hate and betray true followers of Jesus unto death. Matthew 24:10, Matthew 13:21, 1 Peter 4:1
11) The divine power of healing is not exclusive to a pastor as many Americans assume. James 5:14, actually guarantees healing among the true believers of Jesus who seek out church elders (plural) for prayer.
12) The word 'denomination' refers to divided nations, which God's Kingdom is NOT. Denominations are sects and factions one from another. Scripture warns that "FACTIONS" will NOT inherit God's Kingdom. Galatians 5:19-21. Thankfully, salvation comes exclusively from Jesus to all who repent of their sins and follow Him as Lord and Savior.

While charlatans are making money with a primary focus on prepping for the prophesied coming false new world order, Bible Scriptures reveal God's coming new world order most are not really prepping for.
(John 12:25)
…Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands. They will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a garment. You will roll them up like a robe; like a garment they will be changed. But you remain the same, and your years will never end."
(Hebrews 1:10-12)
All the host of heaven shall be dissolved, And the heavens shall be rolled up like a scroll; All their host shall fall down As the leaf falls from the vine, And as fruit falling from a fig tree.
(Isaiah 34:4)
I watched as he opened the sixth seal. There was a great earthquake. The sun turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair, the whole moon turned blood red, and the stars in the sky fell to earth, as figs drop from a fig tree when shaken by a strong wind. The heavens receded like a scroll being rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place.
(Revelation 6:12-14)
Then I saw "a new heaven and a new earth," for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Look! God's dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. 'He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death' or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."
He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making everything new!" Then he said, "Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true."
(Revelation 21:1-5)
April 6, 2014
"Dear children, do not let anyone lead you astray. The one who does what is right is righteous, just as he is righteous. The one who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning.
The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil's work. No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God's seed remains in them; they cannot go on sinning, because they have been born of God.
This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not God's child, nor is anyone who does not love their brother and sister."
1 John 3:7-10
Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them,
Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.
When once the master of the house is risen up, and has shut to the door, and you begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not or where you come from:
Then shall you begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in your presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.
But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not or where you come from; depart from me, all you workers of iniquity.
Luke 13:23-27

THE WRITING is on THE WALL! DESOLATIONS DETERMINED AGAINST THE NATION THAT OPPOSES THE LORD!!!
Jeremiah 50, "How broken and shattered is the hammer of the whole earth! How desolate is Babylon among the nations! I set a trap for you, Babylon, and you were caught before you knew it; you were found and captured because you opposed the Lord."
Do you see a nation working hard to defile the Lord's Covenant of Marriage that has been exclusive to a male and female union since inception and for millennia?
Does that same nation strive to divide the Covenant land of Israel, in which land the Lord God placed His name and set apart as His possession?
And does that same nation strive against the Lord God's Covenant people and word of His Covenant by outlawing the Bible, prayer and the name of Jesus from their schools and now from their military?
There is only one nation on earth that is currently and actively striving against Jesus and His Covenants in such a manner. You may learn more about this nation's future in Jeremiah 50.

A female official from India with diplomatic immunity was arrested in New York on a visa fraud charge on December 12, and subjected to a strip search that included invasive body cavity inspection and swabbing.
Coincidentally, India's Supreme Court just upheld a law outlawing gay sex. Did the United State's extreme and overwhelming passion for men sexing with men have something to do with the sexually invasive treatment of the female diplomat?
Looks like there are rights and freedom of speech for all except those who disagree with homosexuality.Wake up, America!

The SPIRIT of LAWLESSNESS
by David Wilkerson
"For the mystery of iniquity does already work" (2 Thess 2:7).
The Greek word Paul uses for iniquity in this passage means, literally, "lawlessness." Therefore, the mystery is one of lawlessness, meaning that multitudes are going to act without law or restraint.
Yet, this lawlessness is not simply a rebellion against the rule of man. It is not about rebelling against civil authority or committing robbery, rape or murder. These things do provoke God's wrath, but the mystery of lawlessness goes much deeper. It is an outright rejection of the truth that is in Christ, a casting aside of God's Holy Word and rebellion against the restraints of Scripture!
This spirit of lawlessness is rampant in our nation today. It is the force behind the legislation that seeks to banish God from our society and the same spirit that Satan used to deceive Eve when he told her, in so many words, "God is easy; He won't punish you for disobeying. You can eat the fruit and indulge your lust and you won't have to pay for it!"
Today Satan is using this same lie to convince masses of believers that they can indulge their sins without paying any penalty. It is a demonic scheme to pervert Christ's gospel of grace and turn it into a message of licentiousness. Tragically, many lukewarm Christians are succumbing to this spirit of lawlessness.
Paul says the Antichrist will rise to power because people will be
blinded and deceived by their own sin: "After the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all deceivable-ness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved"
(2 Thessalonians 2:9-10).
Satan will deceive masses of people by convincing them of a subtle but powerful lie, just as he convinced Eve: "God doesn't punish sin!"
Paul says this deception will come "with all deceivableness ...because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved" (verse 10). He then adds, "For this [reason] God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie" (verse 11).
The apostle is saying, "Those who refuse to obey or respect God's Word will fall under a powerful delusion. At first they will wink at their sin and justify it. But soon they will actively seek out a message of easy grace. They will invent a grace that is far beyond what God intended.
His grace never leads to license-it always leads to repentance."

Major Earthquake to Divide Jerusalem
From the north to the south, from the Red Sea to the biblical Sea of Galilee, Israel was recently shaken by six earthquakes in six days. Home Front Command declares that Israel will experience a major earthquake. The Bible confirms that they are correct.
Two quakes reportedly shook Israel in the 11th century causing widespread destruction, and one in 1837 estimated at magnitude 7.0 killed more than 6,000 people.
According to a special Israeli committee that recently convened to address the earthquake issue, a major, 7.0 Richter scale earthquake in Israel could now leave some 7,000 people dead, 8,600 wounded, almost 10,000 trapped in rubble and around 170,000 people homeless. A large quake could totally destroy 28,000 buildings and leave 290,000 buildings with light to moderate damage.
So, when can Israel expect such a quake to occur? Most experts predict a serious earthquake in Israel within the next two decades.
The following Scriptures shine the light on the major earthquake prophesied to hit Israel in the near future, and it's much bigger and more intense than any expert can fathom;
"It will come about on that day when Gog comes against the land of Israel," declares the Lord God, "that My fury will mount up in My anger. In My zeal and in My blazing wrath, I declare that on that day there will surely be a great earthquake in the land of Israel."(Ezekiel 38:18)
"Then the seventh angel poured out his bowl upon the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple from the throne saying, 'It is done.' And there were flashes of lightning and sounds and peals of thunder; and there was a great earthquake, such as there had not been since man came upon the earth, so great an earthquake was it, and so mighty. The great city [Jerusalem] was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell…." (Revelation 16:17-19)
"A day of the Lord is coming, Jerusalem, when your possessions will be plundered and divided up within your very walls. I will gather all the nations to Jerusalem to fight against it; the city will be captured, the houses ransacked, and the women raped. Half of the city will go into exile, but the rest of the people will not be taken from the city. Then the Lord will go out and fight against those nations, as he fights on a day of battle. On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem, and the Mount of Olives will be split in two from east to west, forming a great valley, with half of the mountain moving north and half moving south. You will flee by my mountain valley, for it will extend to Azel. You will flee as you fled from the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Then the Lord my God will come, and all the holy ones with him." (Zecharia 14:1-5)
Yes, the Bible makes it clear that "desolations are determined" against the Lord's Holy Land of Israel, and a major earthquake is at the epicenter of such prophecies. So, why is the Lord using earthquakes to shake His land and His people?
The Lord is announcing His soon return and desires that His people prepare their hearts, repent of their sins and turn back to Him, His word and His ways. The prophesied mega quake coming to Jerusalem is also a warning that speaks to the destruction of Israel's enemies who think to divide and possess the Lord's Holy Land.

The word UNSEALED!
The Holy Spirit is Giving Understanding and Revelation NOW!
And he said, "Go your way, Daniel, for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. Many shall be purified, made white, and refined, but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand, but the wise shall understand." (Daniel 12:9-10)
Jesus said, "We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one. And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us an understanding…" (1 John 5:19)
Jesus said, "And when He (Holy Spirit) has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: of sin, because they do not believe in Me; of righteousness, because I go to My Father and you see Me no more; of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged. I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come." (John 16:12-13)
"...the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills." (1 Corinthians 12:7-11)
"...the Holy Spirit (is) given to those who obey Him." (Acts 5:32)

Carter Confirms Fall of USA , Defends Snowden
Former US President Jimmy Carter attacks massive un-Constitutional spying on citizens, agrees with Snowden and exposes corruption of the USA's so-called democracy.
Will the un-Constitutional Government now have Carter targeted before he awakens more Americans with additional eye-opening damning info about their fallen government?
"America does not have a functioning democracy at this point in time," said Former President Jimmy Carter. According to German newspaper Der Spiegel, the statement was made on July 16, in a closed door meeting of Atlanta Bridge, a research organization that focuses on political and various other issues.
Earlier in June, in a statement of support for NSA whistleblower, Edward Snowden, Carter said nations are well within their rights to offer asylum to Snowden. He also criticized the United States Government for spying on all law abiding citizens when he told CNN that "…the invasion of human rights and American privacy has gone too far."
Carter said that it has been "beneficial" for the American people to be notified of their loss of freedom to privacy.
Carter has once again boldly exposed and criticized the United States, and it is only a matter of time before he shares more insightful and damning information about the one-time democratic government that has now yielded to a policy of Executive orders rather than to the US Constitution. Is Carter now a "threat" to homeland security?
Just as diametrically opposed to the US Constitution as invading the privacy of every citizen, are the new executive orders in these hijacked United States, which declare that the President can imprison indefinitely without a trial or kill anyone merely deemed to be a "threat". So, does this mean that Carter may be next on their list for assassination by a drone or some mysterious method?
Wake up, America!

WARS Imminent in MIDDLE EAST
Egypt's Civil War is scheduled for July 26, and Israel is ready to stop the Iranian nuclear threat.
Is the following Bible prophecy about to happen?
"And I will set the Egyptians against the Egyptians: and they shall fight every one against his brother, and every one against his neighbour; city against city, and kingdom against kingdom." (Isaiah 19:2)
The leader of Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood, Mohammed Badie, stated that "this month, On July 26, a historic battle will be waged; a Jihad by the Muslim Brotherhood to regain control of Egypt."
Egyptians are stymied that the United States and other Western powers appear to continue their support of the Muslim Brotherhood, despite the fact that a majority of Egyptians claim the group won the last election fraudulently.
Meanwhile, Israel Prime Minister, Bejamin Netanyahu declares he's prepared to stop the Iranian nuclear threat to destroy Israel.
Modern technological advances mean that Iran could now conceivably be ready to fulfill it's long-standing threat to destroy Israel, within a few weeks.
"Our clocks are ticking at a different pace. We're closer than the United States. We're more vulnerable. And therefore, we'll have to address this question of how to stop Iran, perhaps before the United States does," said the Israel leader.
But we will remember the promises of the Lord God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob; 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 (Jews) 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.

Are All Sins Created Equal?
Romans 6:23 ...the wages of sin is death...
1 John 5:17 All unrighteousness is sin, (but) there is sin not leading to death.
For Example...
Matthew 12:32 ...whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come.
Mathew 12:32 Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him.
So, is all sin really equal?
John 19:11 Jesus (told Pilate), "...the one who delivered Me to you has the greater sin."So, isn't Jesus comparing sins?
More examples...
Jeremiah 7:26 Judah... did worse than their fathers.
1 Kings 16:25 (King) Omri did evil in the eyes of the Lord, and did worse than all who were before him.
1 Timothy 5:8 ...anyone (who) does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
So, will Jesus Judge people differently?
James 3:1 ...you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly.
Luke 20:46-47 "(those)...who desire to go around in long robes, love greetings in the marketplaces, the best seats in the synagogues, and the best places at feasts, who devour widows' houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation."
Hebrews 10:29 Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, counted the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing, and insulted the Spirit of grace?
So, what sins are created equal?
Lust equals adultery!
Mathew 5:27-28 "You have heard that it was said to those of old, you shall not commit adultery. (Jesus say's)"...that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
And…Hate equals murder!
1 John 3:15 ...(one) who hates a brother or sister is (considered) a murderer...
Man's thoughts vs the Lord's thoughts...
Mark 7:20-23 (Jesus say's)..."What comes out of a man, that defiles a man. "For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lewdness, and evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness. "All these evil things come from within and defile a man."
Isaiah 55:8-9 "...my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the Lord. "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.
Praise be to...
2 Timothy 4:8 ...the Lord, the righteous Judge...
More food for thought...
Romans 2:12 ...as many as have sinned without law will also perish without law, and as many as have sinned in the law will be judged by the law...
1 John 1:9&10, If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word is not in us.
See Truth About The Law...
People who embrace sin, for the most part, believe no one has a right to make a judgment because all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23).
They also believe all sin is equal and that we are all sinners. What they don't know is that true followers of Jesus (Yeshua) have been justified freely...through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus (Romans 3:24).
What they also don't know is that whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God (1 John 3:9).
Finally, but not least, what they don't know is that all sin is not equal. See Truth About Judging at Connection Magazine.org

"Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life."
Galatians 6:8
A TIME of JUDGMENT for the WORLD
The evidence of mounting and impending judgment against the nations of the world is revealed in ancient Prophecy. For the first time in almost 2,000 years, the people of Judah (Jews) have been reunited with Jerusalem as Bible prophecy foretold would occur. This single manifestation of Bible prophecy that began in 1967, when the Jews were reunited with Jerusalem, signals a time of Judgment for the nations of the world.
"For behold, in those days and at that time, when I RESTORE the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem, I will gather all the nations and bring them down to the valley of Jehoshaphat, and I will enter into judgment with them there, on account of my people and my heritage Israel,..." (Joel 3:1&2
A BIG Question?!
Is God's Spirit Leading the US? The USA has murdered 50 to 70-million babies in and out of mommy's belly, outlawed the Bible and prayer in our schools, systematically attacks Christians and conservatives, set up Executive orders that are the antithesis of the Constitution, arms Muslim rebels while seeking to disarm US Citizens, and brazenly attacks the God-ordained Covenants by corrupting His Covenant of Marriage and actively working to divide His Covenanted land of Israel. Is this God's Spirit? Really?
Not All Sins Are EQUAL
People do not despise a thief if he steals to satisfy his hunger when he is starving. Yet if he is caught, he must pay sevenfold, though it costs him all the wealth of his house. But a man who commits adultery has no sense; whoever does so destroys himself.
(Proverbs 6:30-32)
Senator Rand Paul told an audience on June 13, 2013, that, "There is a war on Christianity" being waged by 'liberal elites' and worldwide as well."

The body, however, is not meant for sexual immorality but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.

The Judgment of The Lord
Are you prepared for the increase in judgments that will be poured out upon the earth?
Psalm 9:16, The Lord is known by the judgment He executes…
Revelation 14:7, "Fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come; and worship Him who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water."
Psalm 9:8, He shall judge the world in righteousness, And He shall administer judgment for the peoples in uprightness.
Revelation 19:11, Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war.
Psalm 110:6, He shall judge among the nations, He shall fill the places with dead bodies, He shall execute the heads of many countries.
Isaiah 26:9, When your (The Lord's) judgments come upon the earth, the people of the world learn righteousness.
Psalm 99:3, For He is coming, for He is coming to judge the earth. He shall judge the world with righteousness, And the peoples with His truth.
Joel 3:1&2, "For behold, in those days and at that time, When I bring back the captives of Judah (Jews) and Jerusalem, I will also gather all nations, And bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat; And I will enter into judgment with them there On account of My people, My heritage Israel, Whom they have scattered among the nations; They have also divided up My land.
And the false 'profits' say there will be peace and prosperity, ignoring that there will be judgment instead.
Micah 3:11, Her heads judge for a bribe, Her priests teach for pay, And her prophets divine for money. Yet they lean on the Lord, and say, "Is not the Lord among us? No harm can come upon us."
Isaiah 3:14, The Lord will enter into judgment With the elders of His people And His princes: "For you have eaten up the vineyard; The plunder of the poor is in your houses.
1 Peter 4:5, They will give an account to Him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.
1 Peter 4:17, For the time has come for judgment to begin at the house of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God?
Jeremiah 9:24, But let him who glories glory in this, That he understands and knows Me, That I am the Lord, exercising lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth. For in these I delight," says the Lord.
John 9:39, And Jesus said, "For judgment I have come into this world, that those who do not see may see, and that those who see may be made blind."
John 12:31, Jesus said, "Now is the judgment of this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out."
Revelation 18:4-10, And I heard another voice from heaven saying, "Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues. For her sins have reached to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities. Render to her just as she rendered to you, and repay her double according to her works; in the cup which she has mixed, mix double for her. In the measure that she glorified herself and lived luxuriously, in the same measure give her torment and sorrow; for she says in her heart, 'I sit as queen, and am no widow, and will not see sorrow.' Therefore her plagues will come in one day—death and mourning and famine. And she will be utterly burned with fire, for strong is the Lord God who judges her. "The kings of the earth who committed fornication and lived luxuriously with her will weep and lament for her, when they see the smoke of her burning, standing at a distance for fear of her torment, saying, 'Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! For in one hour your judgment has come.'
2 Thessalonians 3:6
"But we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw from every brother who walks disorderly and not according to the tradition which he received from us."
Most Americanized or Westernized Christians have been duped into believing that they can't take the Gospel into many places, such as political office, our children's schools, and government buildings to name a few.
It's amazing how duped they've been to disregard Scripture, which tells us to take the Gospel everywhere and to every creature.
If they still believe the lie of 'separation of church and state', then why are the pastors and churches silent as the Obama Administration crosses the line of 'church and state' and attacks the God-ordained Covenant of Marriage, which is exclusive to a male and female union since inception and for millenia?
Stand up for Yeshua (Jesus) and the Bible now, or get out of the government controlled churches and BE the Church.
Be controlled by flesh and error, or be the Church that Yeshua died for you to be, Remnant.
Those who have ears to hear, let them hear.

...and what is the driving, motivating passion of President Obama at this time?
President Obama has declared his strong desires to help men who sex with men to gain "respect", yet he disrespects U.S. Bible believers and is currently attacking the God-ordained Covenant of Marriage, which has been exclusive to a male and female union since inception and for millenia.
President Obama provides military weapons and support to the Muslim Brotherhood terrorists in countries like Egypt and Syria; meanwhile, he's working hard to take guns from law abiding US citizens.
So, what are the President's plans for the economy?
Wake up, America!
Isaiah 58:1, "Cry aloud, spare not; Lift up your voice like a trumpet; Tell My people their transgression, And the house of Jacob their sins."
Titus 1:13, "Therefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith..."
Happy New Year???
As President Obama continues to help the Muslim Brotherhood and their terror puppet groups gain political power over more nations, the UN is helping the Muslim terror group, Hamas, prepare to steal Israel's sovereign land. Of course, President Obama backs this corrupt maneuver. Once the UN sets the precedent of taking land from a sovereign nation, the UN will practice their power dismantling the rights of other sovereign nations. Get ready!
As Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood president overthrows true democracy in Egypt, and sets up Sharia Law, he is rewarded by President Obama with fighter jets and war tanks. Thank you US taxpayer.
Meanwhile, back in the US, back in the US of A, President Obama continues his assault against the US Constitution. Will he wait for the UN to help him take the guns away from US citizens or will he continue writing illegal executive orders that are the antithesis of the Constitution?
Well, the one world beast government is in it's infancy as the US has gone over the fiscal cliff, but don't tell anyone. Most won't wake up and smell the coffee until they hit the bottom. When the freefall is over, when they crash land and the dollar is declared dead and buried, it will catch multitudes unprepared to face the horrible ramifications.

Jerusalem is Attacked!
The Muslim Brotherhood and their puppet terror group, Hamas, have rained down hundreds of rockets against women and children in Israel.

And the land of Judah will bring terror to the Egyptians; everyone to whom Judah is mentioned will be terrified, because of what the Lord Almighty is planning against them.

America's Election Signals Judgment
One presidential candidate promotes the anti-Christ doctrines of Islam and the other candidate promotes the anti-Christ doctrines of Mormonism.
Should U.S. voters elect someone whose religion worships satan's brother?
Should they vote for someone whose leaders and prophets claim they will overthrow the U.S. Government and Europe here at the new millennium?
Should the American voters support a presidential candidate who believes their cult Mormon group has replaced the Jews as the Lord's covenant people? The operative word here is "replaced".
Should U.S. citizens vote for someone who believes that the Messiah has given up on a return to Jerusalem, but will return and set up His Kingdom in Missouri instead, so Mormons can rule the world and eternity?
Search "Mormon Agenda Exposed" before you continue your blind support for Mitt Romney.
Just because President Obama is helping to set up the Muslim Brotherhood around the world and will increase his attack against the Constitution and Bible believers, does that mean we embrace the representative from another anti-Christ religion who may do the same or worse?
2 John 1:8-11 prohibits Bible believers from siding with anyone who promotes false doctrine.
Also, beware of the doctrine of man that says you are to elect the "lesser of two evils". A vote for evil is a vote for evil and many will be duped into siding with and promoting evil in this upcoming election.
America, now is not the time to vote for a man; it's time to repent for our sins and turn back the the One True Holy Lord of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
This election is a sign that the United States is facing impending judgment!

Islam and The Quran
What does Islam teach Muslim followers? The following verses from the Quran expose the wicked and murderous theology being taught on U.S. soil.
[3.85] ...whoever desires a religion other than Islam, it shall not be accepted from him, and in the hereafter he shall be one of the losers.
[5.51] O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.
[4.89] They desire that you should disbelieve as they have disbelieved, so that you might be (all) alike; therefore take not from among them friends until they fly (their homes) in Allah's way; but if they turn back, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them, and take not from among them a friend or a helper.
What does the Quran teach about other non-Muslims?
[4.56] (As for) those who disbelieve in Our communications, We shall make them enter fire; so oft as their skins are thoroughly burned, We will change them for other skins, that they may taste the chastisement; surely Allah is Mighty, Wise.
[3.151] We will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve, because they set up with Allah that for which He has sent down no authority, and their abode is the fire, and evil is the abode of the unjust.
[9.123] O you who believe! fight those of the unbelievers who are near to you and let them find in you hardness; and know that Allah is with those who guard (against evil).
[2:191] ...kill them wherever you overtake them and expel them from wherever they have expelled you, and fitnah is worse than killing. And do not fight them at al-Masjid al- Haram until they fight you there. But if they fight you, then kill them. Such is the recompense of the disbelievers.
Does Islam teach Muslim followers to war against non-Muslims?
[8.65] O Prophet! urge the believers to war; if there are twenty patient ones of you they shall overcome two hundred, and if there are a hundred of you they shall overcome a thousand of those who disbelieve, because they are a people who do not understand.
[8.12] When your Lord revealed to the angels: I am with you, therefore make firm those who believe. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them.[8.39] ...fight with them until there is no more persecution and religion should be only for Allah; but if they desist, then surely Allah sees what they do.
[9.111] Surely Allah has bought of the believers their persons and their property for this, that they shall have the garden; they fight in Allah's way, so they slay and are slain; a promise which is binding on Him in the Taurat and the Injeel and the Quran; and who is more faithful to his covenant than Allah? Rejoice therefore in the pledge which you have made; and that is the mighty achievement.
[17.33] ...do not kill any one whom Allah has forbidden, except for a just cause, and whoever is slain unjustly, We have indeed given to his heir authority, so let him not exceed the just limits in slaying; surely he is aided.
[9.5] ...when the sacred months have passed away, then slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captives and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush, then if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, leave their way free to them; surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
[9.29] Fight those who do not believe in Allah, nor in the latter day, nor do they prohibit what Allah and His Apostle have prohibited, nor follow the religion of truth, out of those who have been given the Book, until they pay the tax in acknowledgment of superiority and they are in a state of subjection.
[9.14] Fight them, Allah will punish them by your hands and bring them to disgrace, and assist you against them and heal the hearts of a believing people.
[33.61] Cursed: wherever they are found they shall be seized and murdered, a (horrible) murdering.
Editor's Note: These Quran teachings have been posted because there has been great deception declaring that Islam is a religion of peace and that Muslims serve the same God as Christians and Jews. For the record, Muslims serve the Babylonian moon god, Allah, which is further evidenced by their crecent moon. The true people of holy faith serve the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, who will soon send Yahshua ha'Mashiach to deliver His true followers after much tribulation.
The United States and much of American Christianity has turned their backs on the authority of the word of the Lord and His laws published in the the Holy Bible. Therefore, what is determined from enemies without and enemies within will be the Lord's measured judgments on an unrepentant people, in and out of the Church. Repent!
Obviously, Connection Magazine can't stop what the Lord is allowing. We can only declare truth and expose darkness.
The U.S. Constitution was not set up to protect doctrines of Jihad and the murder of non-believers. However, as long as doctrines of terror and the murder of non-Muslims are erroneously protected by the U.S. Government, all citizens should be watchful, prayerful and ready to protect and defend their homes and families.
Thankfully, at this time most Muslims do not practice the wicked doctrines of killing non-Muslims that they are being taught. Meanwhile, the stated goal of the Muslim Brotherhood is to have Islam subdue and rule the entire world.

GEORGE FOX - the HOLY RADICAL
-by David Smithers.
In the year of 1647, a large man with piercing eyes named George Fox started preaching throughout the towns and villages of England. He prayed and fasted often, traveling with no other companion but his Bible. He proclaimed a gospel of purity, power and repentance.
When George Fox began preaching, many churches were dead and bound in man-made traditions and formalism. When the Church drifts into formalism, the world drifts into further ungodliness. The methods and appearance of George Fox to some, seemed quite offensive and extreme. It is sometimes necessary for God's prophets to be unconventional in order to thoroughly awaken the indifferent and hard hearted.
Soon after George Fox began to preach, he had a remarkable spiritual experience that lasted fourteen days. A certain Mr. Brown, while on his death bed prophesied many great things concerning Fox. "When this man was buried," says Fox, "a great work of the Lord fell on me." During this mighty baptism of the Spirit, Fox received a remarkable gift of discernment. "He seemed to be able to read the character of men by looking at them."
Miraculous healings also accompanied his ministry. Through prayer and the laying on of hands, the sick were often healed and devils were cast out to the glory of Christ. When George Fox preached men would shake and tremble. "The name Quaker was given to Fox and his followers because of the quaking of the men who came to scoff but stayed to pray." This remarkable power seemed to accompany the preaching of Fox wherever he went.
Fox preached that Jesus Christ is the author of a faith which purifies and gives victory over sin. He fervently exhorted men to pursue complete holiness rather than empty religious ceremonies. As a result, he was often beaten, stoned and driven out of town. It is estimated that perhaps no other man since the time of the Reformation was persecuted and imprisoned as often as George Fox. He usually went about the country on foot, dressed in his famous suit of leather clothes, which it is believed he made himself. He often slept outside under a tree or in some haystack.
Fox also often pointed out that what was commonly called the Church was only a building. He boldly declared that only the fervent believers of Christ were the living stones of the true Church.
"Above all George Fox excelled in prayer." It was his habit to wait in silence for the movement of the Holy Spirit and then begin to pray, causing whole congregations to be shaken and humbled under the hand of God Almighty. "As he prayed the power of God came down in such a marvelous manner the very building seemed to rock."
Through the ministry of George Fox, a glimmer of Apostolic power was revealed to seventeenth century England. He was a man of the Spirit in an age that emphasized theological and scriptural accuracy at the expense of the power of the Holy Ghost. He always stressed the importance of a Spirit filled life and refused to let dead orthodoxy be a veil for the works of the flesh.
If we as believers are content with a gospel that merely comforts our conscience and perseveres our traditions, then we are also content to forsake the gospel of Christ and the Apostles. God help us to truly seek the kind of praying and preaching that will once again make men tremble in the presence of Jesus Christ.
Editor's note: May the Lord Yahshua help us to yield to the Holy Spirit without rejecting or violating the Scriptures. May we study to show ourselves approved, standing on the word of the Lord, without resisting the presence and power of the Holy Spirit. A just balance is the Lord's delight.

Muslim Leader Confesses Doctrines of Killing
This is a true story that happened after the 911 terror attack, and the author, Rick Mathes, a well-known leader in prison ministry, has confirmed this account with Connection Magazine Editor, Jonathan Israel.
(Reportedly), the Muslim religion is the fastest growing religion per capita in the United States.
Last month I attended my annual training session that's required for maintaining my state prison security clearance. During the training session there was a presentation by three speakers representing the Roman Catholic, Protestant and Muslim faiths, who each explained their beliefs. I was particularly interested in what the Islamic had to say. The Muslim gave a great presentation of the basics of Islam, complete with a video.
After the presentations, time was provided for questions & answers. When it was my turn, I directed my question to the Muslim and asked: 'Please, correct me if I'm wrong, but I understand that most Imams and clerics of Islam have declared a holy jihad [Holy war] against the infidels of the world and, that by killing an infidel (which is a command to all Muslims) they are assured of a place in heaven. If that's the case, can you give me the definition of an infidel?' There was no disagreement with my statements and, without hesitation, he replied, 'Non-believers!' I responded, 'So, let me make sure I have this straight. All followers of Allah have been commanded to kill everyone who is not of your faith so they can have a place in heaven. Is that correct?'
The expression on his face changed from one of authority & command to that of a little boy who had just been caught with his hand in the cookie jar.' He sheepishly replied, 'Yes.'
I continued, 'I also have a problem with being your friend when you and your brother clerics are telling your followers to kill me! Let me ask you a question: Would you rather have your Allah, who tells you to kill me in order for you to go to heaven, or my Jesus who tells me to love you because I am going to heaven and He wants you to be there with me?'
You could have heard a pin drop as the Imam hung his head in shame.
Needless to say, the organizers and/or promoters of the 'Diversification' training seminar were not happy with my way of dealing with the Islamic Imam, and exposing the truth about the Muslims' beliefs.
(Reports indicate) In twenty years there will be enough Muslim voters in the U.S. to elect the President!
Editor's Note: As long as you still have breath, you can humble yourself before the King of Kings, God's Son, Jesus our Lord, and repent of your sins. John 3:16

Westernized Christianity Embraces US
Corruption as Judgment Looms
Editor@Connection Magazine.org
If there's anything that makes me want to regurgitate when I hear it, the comment by many American pastors extolling the United States as a "great nation", is high on the list. I mean, consider that the hospital down the street from the church building is killing baby in mommy's belly, while the school next to the church meeting place is attacking the freedom and liberty of any student caught declaring Jesus as Lord or His Holy Scripture. But pastor calls it "great".
Meanwhile, we're supposed to believe it's a "great nation" in spite of all the anti-Christ US laws that legislatively and judiciously outlaw the Bible and prayer. And now, even the name of Jesus (Yeshua) is under the same attack. But pastor calls it "great"
Perhaps the master, I mean the pastor ordains the US as a great nation because he's free to fleece the flock by regularly preaching an erroneous doctrine regarding the tithe, which he then uses as a personal bank account to live the "American dream". Or maybe, he's so enamored by the US because the westernized version of Christianity says he can divorce his wife and hook up with his recently divorced secretary, in direct opposition to Scripture, which declares the spiritual leader is to be the husband of one wife.
Scripture teaches us that when people refuse to love the truth, the initial "judgment" includes being given over to unnatural lusts; men will lie with men, and likewise, women will sexually corrupt themselves with women. Clearly, the ever growing encroachment of homosexuality into much of westernized Christianity is a judgment and direct evidence of their refusal to love the truth, much less, practice the truth.
Mostly to blame are the church leaders, who often hinder the followers of Jesus from walking in the fullness of the freedom and liberty of the Holy Spirit. Many are not free to give what, where and when the Holy Spirit leads them, and many are stopped from practicing the gifts of the Holy Spirit declared in 1 Corinthians 12 through 14. Sadly, the blind guides are a primary hindrance to the Kingdom of the Lord, the one true creator and Lord of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
Scripture teaches us that we are to apply ourselves to love and good works, if we're truly people of faith in Jesus. The Bible also teaches us to declare His word. We are to preach the Gospel of repentance, thereby exposing the sins that lead to hell and damnation. We are also to preach the remission of sins, and that only the gift of the Lord, through the sacrifice of Jesus' painful suffering and agonizing death on a cross, can remove the guilt, shame and eternal damnation to hell that sin leads to.
Good works, along with declaring rebukes and reproofs of sin, in conjunction with the news of a deliverance from the wages of sin, for those who repent, represents a just balance and a more proper representation of Christ.
Sadly, the church of good works often does not comprehend the instruction to preach the Gospel and/or the power of the Holy Spirit. And very often, the church that declares Scripture regarding Jesus' love and the forgiveness, fails to preach the full Gospel that includes the warning and need to repent of sin to receive forgiveness. Of course, you have many "Holy Spirit" churches that often think their words have replaced those of the Lord, leaving them and those around them biblically illiterate.
Remember, a just balance is the Lord's delight. We need to walk in the full-Gospel of Jesus Christ, and in the power of His Holy Spirit, doing the good works that we have been saved and delivered to do as we proclaim His word.
The United States is clearly not a great nation, despite what many pastors declare. Yeah, I know they consider financial success great, and I understand that they consider military might to be great; however, the true shepherds of the flock consider God's Kingdom to be great. Refusing to bow down to the idols of worldly success and earthly strength, they consider the Lord's righteousness, holiness and faithfulness to be great.
So, when the idols of US financial and military strength soon fall in the presence of the Almighty Lord and Savior, many will avert their eyes away from the fallen kingdom and seek first the Kingdom of the Lord and His righteousness once again.
The persecution of the true Congregation is on the way, leading to a great falling away as when a man beats an olive tree with a club. The fall (destruction) of Damascus is a harbinger of that.
Irregardless of man's word and the doctrine of demon's that says Jesus' followers will not be here for tribulation, and that they won't have to endure to the end, we must remember and hold fast to Jesus' warnings to His followers. He warned His followers that they would have to endure much tribulation, especially during the latter days. Jesus also promised them that those who endure to the end will be saved.
So, be encouraged. Although many leaders of westernized Christianity hinder the followers of Jesus from taking full possession of His Kingdom of Righteousness, and all He died for them to have, just as many of the Jewish leaders in Israel hinder Jewish followers of Messiah from taking possession of their promised land, we know that the Lord Jesus, Messiah(Yeshua benDavid), is on the way and will soon establish His Kingdom in Righteousness. His Kingdom is great and He, the Lord Our Righteousness is GREAT!
Jeremiah 33:14-16, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will perform that good thing which I have promised unto the house of Israel (followers of Messiah, see Matt.15:24) and to the house of Judah (Jews). In those days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land. In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely: and this is the name wherewith it shall be called, The Lord our righteousness.
Judge (Andrew) Napolitano said, 'The Second Amendment isn't about the right to shoot deer. It's a right to shoot tyrants.'
After Yahshua/Jesus was crucified, Christians kept the Festivals of God until Rome's government established religion, Catholocism, forced believers to forsake them in exchange for Babylonian pagan holidays such as Christmas and Easter.
Prophetic Festival of SUKKOT or Tabernacles
The Lord's Festival of Sukkot/Tabernacles is prophetic and a preparation for what is coming at the end. This article provides direction for followers of Jesus/Yahshua to endure what is coming upon the earth and overcome until the end.
The Biblical Festivals listed in Leviticus chapter 23, of the old or first Covenant are also oracles or prophetic messages (considered rehersals), much like the lambs blood on the Hebrew's door posts in Egypt causing the death angel to 'passover', was a rehersal for the Lamb of God, Yahshua, to shed his blood to deliver us from eternal death.
The final annual biblical Festival of the Lord, called Sukkot or Tabernacles (tents/temporary dwelling) is a 'rehersal' for a prophetic event that the remnant, those who follow Jesus (Yahshua), will go through in the near future.
Interestingly, the formal and official ceremonious act of canceling debt happened during Sukkot/Tabernacles, not before; Then Moses commanded them: "At the end of every seven years, in the year for canceling debts, during the Festival of Tabernacles..." (see Deuteronomy 31:10)
Sukkot/Tabernacles is also known as the "ingathering", since it is a time the Lord gathers His followers. There were only 3 times per year that all of the men of the Lord were required to appear together before the Lord, and the Festival of Sukkot/Tabernacles was one of them. (see Deuteronomy 16:16).
Unknown to many, the weekly Sabbath is not the only Sabbath day of the Lord. Just like the weekly Sabbath, the first day of Sukkot/Tabernacles is a Sabbath day of rest, assembly and not seeking ones own pleasure, and also ends with an 8th day Sabbath.
Sukkot is also the only festival that Jesus/Yahshua requires of His followers and survivors among the nations during His temporary reign on earth, often called the one-thousand year reign or millennial reign, (see Zachariah 14 and Revelation 20).
Zachariah 14:16-17, "Then the survivors from all the nations that have attacked Jerusalem will go up year after year to worship the King, the Lord Almighty, and to celebrate the Festival of Tabernacles (Sukkot). If any of the peoples of the earth do not go up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord Almighty, they will have no rain."
Like the Festival of Passover, Abba proclaimed that the Festival of Sukkot/Tabernacles was to be a lasting ordinance throughout all generations.
While keeping the Festival of Sukkot/Tabernacles, The Lord instructed the Israelites to "Live in temporary shelters for seven days: All native-born Israelites are to live in such shelters so your descendants will know that I had the Israelites live in TEMPORARY shelters when I brought them out of Egypt. I am the Lord your God." (see Leviticus 23:42-43)
Sukkot confirms the following end-of-age prophecy;
Hosea 12:9, "I have been the Lord your God ever since you came out of Egypt; I will make you live in tents (tabernacle) AGAIN, as in the days of your appointed festivals."
This prophetic event of temporarily dwelling in tents will happen as the following Scripture confirms;
Mark 13:12-19, "Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child. Children will rebel against their parents and have them put to death. Everyone will hate you because of me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. When you see 'the abomination that causes desolation' standing where it does not belong—let the reader understand—then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Let no one on the housetop go down or enter the house to take anything out Let no one in the field go back to get their cloak. How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! Pray that this will not take place in WINTER, because those will be days of DISTRESS unequaled from the beginning, when God created the world, until now—and never to be equaled again."
Daniel 12:10-12, "Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand. And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that makes desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days. Blessed is he that WAITS, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days."
Why does Yahshua want His followers to wait the extra 45 days in the wilderness before returning to Jerusalem?
Ezekiel 38:19-23, The Lord said, "For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel; So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground. And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, says the Lord GOD: every man's sword shall be against his brother. And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone. Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the LORD."
Meanwhile, the Lord wants us to remember the precedent He set for His followers after they left Egypt and went into a time of temporary dwelling in the wilderness. This is how He provided for His children in the wilderness…
Bread – Exodus 16:15, And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, It is manna: for they did not know what it was. And Moses said unto them, This is the bread which the Lord hath given you to eat.
Water – Exodus 17:6, The Lord instructed Moses, "…you shall smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel."
Clothing – Deuteronomy 29:5, The Lord says, "During the forty years that I led you through the wilderness, your clothes did not wear out, nor did the sandals on your feet."
Miraculous Intervention – Nehemiah 9:11, And (The Lord) did divide the sea before them, so that they went through the midst of the sea on the dry land; and their persecutors You threw into the depths, as a stone into the mighty waters.
And do not forget, Jesus/Yahshua also said the works He did, you who believe on Him will do…
Multiplied Food – Mark 6:39-44, Then Jesus directed them all to have all the people sit down in groups on the green grass. So they sat down in groups of hundreds and fifties. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to his disciples to distribute to the people. He also divided the two fish among them all. They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces of bread and fish. The number of men who had eaten was five thousand.
Water Into Wine – John 4:46, Jesus visited Cana in Galilee, where he had turned the water into wine.
All Healed – Luke 4:40, "…the people brought to Jesus all who had various kinds of sickness, and laying his hands on each one, he healed them."
Supernatural Feats – Matthew 14:25, Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea.
Remember Your Power to Do GREATER Works – John 14:12, Jesus said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that beleiveth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
The Lord has made provisions for His people who must flee to the wilderness. Go forth in faith and fear not you followers of Jesus/Yahshua. You are the blessed of the Lord!
Yes, the Mighty One of Israel will arrive for a temporary one-thousand-year reign and ingathering of His followers in Jerusalem. But for now, it's time to prepare the followers of Jesus/Yahshua for the coming persecution so they will be equipped to endure to the END!
Acts 14:22, "Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God."
In every situation, may you walk in the miraculous POWER of the Lord your Abba, you mighty overcomer!

August, 2011 (revised)
Does your fellowship enjoy liberty? Are you free to share Gods word where you fellowship?
Truth Ministries and Connection Magazine challenges every follower of Jesus/Salvation to share God's word in their churches as well as out of them.
Unfortunately, the time has come when men will not endure sound doctrine.
If you witnessed someone being raped, robbed, beaten, abused, extorted, etc…, would you just stand by and do nothing? That's exactly what many so-called churches are guilty of.
If you do decide to act on this challenge and hand out Bible Scriptures to your congregation, know that it very well may come with much rejection and persecution; however, be comforted, for ALL who desire to live godly, in Christ Jesus, will suffer persecution, (2Timothy 3:12). It is commendable, if because of conscience toward God one endures grief, suffering wrongfully, (1Peter 2:19)
Remember, we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places (Ephesians 6:12).
The following questions will be answered in this article;
'Is it right for a Christian to ever flee, leave, depart or go out of their nation of birth?'
'Why would anyone leave the rich and powerful USA?'
'How do I know if it's right for me to leave the US?'
'Am I sinning if I stay in the USA?'
Clearly, Scripture shows us several New Covenant examples of God's people fleeing their homeland of Israel. In fact, Jesus/Yahshua Himself fled Jerusalem and stayed in the region of Galilee when it was known the religious leaders sought to kill Him. He only returned to Jerusalem when it was time to willingly lay His life down. John 7:1
Joseph and Mary also fled Israel and lived in Africa with their child, when King Herod began killing all baby boys under the age of two. Additionally, Paul, writer of the majority of the New Testament fled many times from government and religious leaders who sought to kill Him. Matthew 2:13
So, what does leaving the USA have to do with anything?
Scripture in Jeremiah 50 and 51 reveals end time's haughtiest and most proud nation called Daughter Babylon, a nation with the following DNA; hammer (military leader) of the earth, wealthiest nation of the world, contends against the Lord, influences nations of the world to accept and legislate all manner of evil (porn, abortion, homosexuality, etc), goes INSANE, destroyer of God's heritage, eventually crushes the Church (imprisonment and murder of Christians), and falls just before final one-world beast government introduces a mandatory 'mark' that every human being must have in order to be able to buy, sell, or trade. Revelation 14:8-11
Many are becoming convinced that the USA is the only nation in the past 2,000 years that even closely resembles the prophesied latter day DAUGHTER Babylon nation. Interesting to note: the original land of Babylon lies largely barren except for a nearby huge edifice, which is the USA's embassy in Iraq and it's called the 'Fortress of the Americas'.
So, not only does the USA possess the DNA of Daughter Babylon, they possess the ancient land that was once Babylon. (Side note: watch for all manner of human cloning to be legalized by the US government).
What else does the Lord prophecy about Daughter Babylon? What is MYSTERY Babylon?
Daughter Babylon is a political nation and will become filled with all manner of evil and become a demonic hang out. Mystery Babylon includes a false, mixed and mingled Christianity, which has been birthed in Daughter Babylon. She has no shame in uniting with pagan, idol worshiping religions such as catholocism, Islam, Mormonism and more. And she has no shame in embracing and validating evil and sin, so she winks at women's lib (women usurping biblically male roles), homosexuality, unbiblical divorce and anything else contrary to Scripture.
The Lord will punish Daughter Babylon with a mighty wind and waters will overflow her borders to cover the land (tsunamis). And the final one-world beast government will DEVOUR the Harlot church called Mystery Babylon. Revelation 17
What is the Lord's message to His followers caught up in Babylon the great's system?
Jeremiah 50:8, "Move, come out…"
Jeremiah 51:6, "Flee!"
Jeremiah 51:9, "Forsake her."
Jeremiah 51:45, "Go out!"
Revelation 18:4, 'Come out of her my people, why should you suffer in her punishments'.
Can't a believer stay and have guaranteed safety? After all, the Lord's people were in Egypt when the Lord poured out His plagues on Pharaoh and his nation.
The prophecy about Daughter Babylon is different from what occurred in Egypt and very specific. God's people are commanded to leave, flee, come out and go forth, as all found in her and even around Daughter Babylon will suffer the punishment, see Jeremiah 50:32.
Is a follower of Jesus/Yahshua sinning if they decided to stay in the USA?
It is not a sin to stay in the USA unless you stay after having been convicted and convinced by the Holy Spirit of the Lord to leave. But remember, when the Jews were told to leave Babylon around 400BC to return to Israel, reportedly only a remnant obeyed and the majority stayed only to suffer through Babylon's destruction.
Scripture reveals there will be a remnant of believers who are in Daughter Babylon after her destruction. They (who survive imprisonment and death) are instructed to think upon Jerusalem when they leave. So, we see the mercy of the Lord extended to the remnant one more time. Scripture says they too are instructed to "go away" and consider Jerusalem. RUN!
Interesting side note: Followers of the Lord are NOT instructed to consider returning to Abba's covenant land of Israel, the land He has chosen FOREVER as HIS resting place, until after the fall of Daughter Babylon. (see Psalm 132:11-18)
Meanwhile, seek the Lord, pray, read the Scriptures, and in all you do, do everything in 'Faith' giving thanks to Abba in the name of Jesus/Yahshua. Let those who have ears HEAR what the Spirit is saying.
For whatever is not of Faith is sin. Without FAITH it is impossible to please the Lord.
Sadly, your blind Americanized Christian watchmen now proclaim Donald Trump is the new savior for America's citizens sent by the Lord Himself to save the American way of life. You know, the American life where Bibles and prayers are outlawed in schools, babies are killed and their body parts sold, children are mandated to be vaccinated with unidentified substances, the Lord's marriage covenant is defiled by US Supreme Court law, you are coerced by presidential decree to allow men in the public bathrooms and showers with your wives and little girls, and porn is a daily television and internet staple. Neither Donald Trump nor any other politician will or can save you from the American way of life you are voting to save.
But you are not a citizen of the USA if Jesus/Yahshua is your God and Savior. You are a pilgrim, a sojourner and stranger in this world. You are to be an ambassador for Messiah/Christ. A citizen of the Kingdom of Heaven; that is the citizenship you should be prepping yourself and fellow believers for.
My wife and I have decided to vote with our lives and obey the Lord by His word and Holy Spirit by getting OUT of America and getting OUT of Americanized Christianity's whore house religion (see Rev. 17:5 & Rev/ 18:4)
Jeremiah 50:8, "REMOVE out of the midst of Babylon, and go forth out of the land of the Chaldeans, and be as the he goats before the flocks."
Hebrews 11:10, "For he looked for a city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God."
What city are you prepping for?
Prophecy in the news revealing the truth, prepared by email@example.com to help explain the end times, last days revelation and prophecy in the news that is beginning to happen all across the United States of America and around the world. Those who accept Jesus/Yahshua as Lord and Savior, confessing and forsaking their sins, will be forgiven. Rom. 10, & 1 John 1
Romans 15:27, "For if the Gentiles (grafted in through Jesus "Yahshuah") have shared in the Jews' spiritual blessings, they owe it to the Jews to share with them their material blessings."
Ephesians 2:11-22, "Wherefore remember, that ye being IN TIME PAST GENTILES in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands; That AT THAT TIME you were without Christ, being aliens from the COMMONWEALTH of ISRAEL, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: But now IN Christ Jesus YOU who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. For he is our peace, who hath made BOTH one, and hath broken down the middle WALL of PARTITION BETWEEN US; Having abolished in his flesh THE ENMITY, even the LAW of commandments CONTAINED IN ORDINANCES; for to make in Himself of TWO, ONE new man, so making peace; And that he might RECONCILE BOTH unto God in ONE BODY by the CROSS, having slain the enmity thereby: And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.
2,000 years ago, Jesus told His Jewish brethren (House of Judah) that he had other sheep not of their fold, whom he would gather and bring in to be one with them (John 10:16). He identified those He would unite with His Jewish brethren as "lost sheep of the House of Israel" (Matthew 15:24). The only way one can truly identify these lost sheep of House of Israel today is by Jesus' own words, "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:…" John 10:27
Covenant people from both Jew and Gentile Houses to be gathered together by God!
Jeremiah 31:27-28, "Behold, the days come, said the Lord, that I will sow the House of Israel (redeemed from Gentile nations) and the House of Judah (Jews) with the seed of man, and with the seed of beast. And it shall come to pass, that like as I have watched over them, to pluck up, and to break down, and to throw down, and to destroy, and to afflict; so will I watch over them, to build, and to plant, says the Lord."
The end-time unity between God's TWO covenant people, Christians and Jews, is happening and will happen in a major way when the Jews are eventually delivered from an end-of-the-age, major attack by many nearby enemy nations (Islamic) who will surround them. Prophecy in Ezekiel chapters 38 and 39 both reveal that at that time of such victory, when almost 84% of the enemy troops are killed, the House of Judah (Jews) will behold Jesus "Yahshuah" whom they have pierced and wholly repent with brokenness and tears. In fact, the Lord declares that the whole world will know Him at that time.
Ezekiel 37:15-23, The word of the Lord came to me: "Son of man, take a stick of wood and write on it, 'Belonging to Judah (Jews) and the Israelites associated with him.' Then take another stick of wood, and write on it, 'Belonging to Joseph (that is, to Ephraim the House of Israel prophesied to become fullness among Gentile nations, see Genesis 48) and all the Israelites associated with him.' Join them together into one stick so that they will become one in your hand. "When your people ask you, 'Won't you tell us what you mean by this?' say to them, 'This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am going to take the stick of Joseph—which is in Ephraim's hand—and of the Israelite tribes associated with him, and join it to Judah's stick. I will make them into a single stick of wood, and they will become ONE in my hand.'
Yes, God Saves and Restores His Covenant People
Jeremiah 30:18-24, "This is what the Lord says: "'I will restore the fortunes of Jacob's (named Israel who fathered leaders of Israel's 12 tribes) tents and have compassion on his dwellings; the city will be rebuilt on her ruins, and the palace will stand in its proper place. From them will come songs of thanksgiving and the sound of rejoicing. I will add to their numbers, and they will not be decreased; I will bring them honor, and they will not be disdained. Their children will be as in days of old, and their community will be established before me; I will punish all who oppress them. Their leader will be one of their own; their ruler (Jesus/ Yahshuah) will arise from among them. I will bring him near and he will come close to me— for who is he who will devote himself to be close to me?' declares the Lord. "'So you will be my people, and I will be your God.'"
Are you an outcast from Americanized Christianity? Have you been driven from the Holy and everlasting covenanted land promised in to your forefathers? A prophetic millennial day of ingathering (Sukkot/Tabernacles) is coming to God's holy mountain when the Lord gathers His dispersed ones BACK into the LAND of Israel as a show and a sign of His power and faithfulness.
Isaiah 11:9-13, They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the EARTH shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea. And in that day there shall be a ROOT of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his REST shall be glorious. And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the SECOND TIME to recover the REMNANT of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea. And he shall set up an ensign for the NATIONS, and shall assemble the OUTCASTS of Israel (followers of Jesus), and gather together the DISPERSED of Judah (Jews) from the four corners of the earth. The envy also of Ephraim (also known as Joseph and House of Israel) shall depart, and the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off: Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall not vex Ephraim.
The following unity of God's TWO covenant peoples happens when Babylon falls…
Jeremiah 50:4, "In those days, and in that time, says the Lord, the children of Israel (house of Israel) shall come, they and the children of Judah (Jews) TOGETHER, going and weeping: they shall go, and seek the Lord their God."
YES! God is still faithful to His initial unending, unbreakable covenant and covenant people.
Jeremiah 33:13-24, "In the cities of the mountains, in the cities of the vale, and in the cities of the south, and in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, shall the flocks pass again under the hands of him that tells them, says the Lord. Behold, the days come, says the Lord, that I will perform that good thing which I have promised unto the House of Israel and to the House of Judah. In those days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall execute JUDGMENT and righteousness In The Land. In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely: and this is the name wherewith she (the land) shall be called, The Lord our righteousness.
Jews see Jesus "Yahshuah" and repent! After GREAT victory over enemy nations, backslidden nation of Jews will soon see and know the Lord God, whom they have pierced.
Zechariah 12:6-10, "In that day will I make the governors of Judah like an hearth of fire among the wood, and like a torch of fire in a sheaf; and they shall devour all the people round about, on the right hand and on the left: and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place, even in Jerusalem. The Lord also shall save the tents of Judah first (Jews return first), that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem do not magnify themselves against Judah. In that day shall the Lord defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David shall be as God, as the angel of the Lord before them. 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 mourns for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn."
The end-of-the-age TWO witnesses, TWO chosen covenant people of the Lord are both described in a final powerful stand prophecy!
The following is a PROPHECY hidden in Revelation that reveals God's TWO covenant people groups will be anointed at a certain time and appointed by God as His witnesses for a certain special final event. These TWO will FINISH their testimony with great power for three and one-half years before the beast rises from the Abyss to attack and kill them. These witnesses have been around for thousands of years and are also identified in Zechariah 4 (House of Israel and House of Judah).
Revelation 11:3-7, And I will appoint my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth." They are "the two olive trees"… -(both house of Israel and the House of Judah are called Olive Trees, Jeremiah 11:16. And the Lord also refers to these TWO olive trees/TWO houses as TWO witnesses and TWO lampstands. YES! Bible Scripture identifies the church as a lampstand. Scripture also describes followers of Jesus as those who are GRAFTED into NATURAL olive tree, Romans 11:24)- …and "they stand before the Lord of the earth." If anyone tries to harm them, fire comes from their mouths and devours their enemies. This is how anyone who wants to harm them must die. They have power to shut up the heavens so that it will not rain during the time they are prophesying; and they have power to turn the waters into blood and to strike the earth with every kind of plague as often as they want. Now when they have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up from the Abyss will attack them, and overpower and kill them.
Revelation chapter 20 reveals what happens next after Jacobs trouble and the great falling away. Zachariah 14 provides another view of the same 1,000 year coming government reign of Jesus; the millennial government in Israel, after He destroys the final 10 governments of the beast and casts satan into a prison.
Meanwhile, evening is upon us and Western Christianity should wisely prepare for extreme hatred, persecution and much tribulation. A night of darkness is coming!
Why do you think the devil hates the Jews and Israel with such passion that he strives to nullify, vilify, criminalize, penalize and destroy them? Why do you think the persecution of Christians is now at historic levels and rising exponentially? Get ready! The impending destruction of Damascus will signal the great falling away and the prophetic time of Jacob's trouble (see Isaiah 17).
But the promise is that the Lord will save and deliver His people out of such great trouble (Jeremiah 30).

Many events are taking place in the world that make it appear we are on the brink of World War III. But there are certain key events scheduled to take place before the nations are all joined in a latter day "Great War" as spoken of in the book of Daniel, chapter 10.
Bible Scriptures reveal the key conflicts and events that will occur prior to the latter day Great War. In this article I will attempt to highlight some of those major event markers.
The world now watches as the US dollar wanes and teeters in spite of the support of indefinite quantitative easing. That, coupled with faltering US International policy, is making the United States look very weak on the world stage, and the evidence is cropping up with greater frequency and on several fronts.
North Korea is now making regular threats of an imminent nuclear attack upon US soil. Russia's leader Putin is now hinting at the use of its nuclear power if the US involves itself in the Ukrainian civil issue, where many Ukrainians wish to be grafted back into their former union with Russia.
The unrelenting and ever rising Islamic terrorism in the Middle East is fueled by the ultimate goal of world dominance as Muslim teachings in the Quran dictate.
Meanwhile, the Muslim Brotherhood advances its lethal agenda by using terror puppet groups like the Palestinian Hamas to rain missiles on innocent Israeli families. And their terror puppet Hezbollah subverts the Lebanese Government, so it can wage its planned destruction of Israel from the north.
In Syria, there are enough chemical weapons to change our lives horrifically, once those chemicals reach terrorist hands.
Interestingly, the US supports terror groups currently fighting to overthrow Assad's Syrian Government. This kind of insanity is not only evident on the world stage, but also to the people here in the US, who are watching their own society lose direction.
There is unprecedented lawlessness in the US Federal government; NDAA 2012, Executive Orders conflicting with the US Constitution, NSA spying, illegal IRS attacks against conservatives, and a slow but diabolical yielding of US sovereignty to the UN, all feeding the ubiquitous threat of impending collapse of these United States.
Meanwhile, as Iran plays patty-cake with the world, they're preparing a nuclear arsenal that will enable them to begin the world confusion that their religion teaches them must happen in order to usher in their false savior, Mahdi.
Once Iran's nuclear weapons reach the hands of their terrorist partners, it would not take them long to throw the entire world into its religiously planned 'chaos'.
No longer fearful of US might, nuclear military giant, China, believes it can be victorious in a battle with the West.
Most recently, China warned the U.S. to end its military surveillance flights near Chinese territory. Clearly, the US is no longer the deterrent it once was against a Chinese confiscation of the Philippine islands or a Chinese invasion of Taiwan.
The latest reports regarding China's expanding military now include research of a supersonic submarine that can theoretically get from Shanghai to San Francisco in just 100 minutes. That's about 6,000 miles under water in much less than 2 hours.
The next World War now appears to be closer with every passing day. But what clues does Bible prophecy reveal regarding a latter days "great war"?
In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia, a revelation was given to Daniel (who was called Belteshazzar). Its message was true and it concerned a GREAT WAR. Daniel 10:1
So, what does this "Great War" look like? The coming "great war" prophesied in Daniel will be a war that encapsulates the entire world like never before, but not in the way you are probably thinking.
Most are not aware of the biblical details of this coming great war or preceding events. Interestingly, Scripture warns of many wars and rumors of wars that will occur all the way up the end of age.
However, after all of these wars, when they begin to say "peace and safety", then sudden destruction will come upon them, (1 Thessalonians 5:3).
Then shall be "a time of trouble, such as never was. Essentially, it will be the worst time in the history of the world. (Daniel 12:1)
According to Revelation, a final, one world beast government will embrace a leader who will arise to power under the guise of "peace" and with lying wonders. At this time, the devil/satan, called the "dragon", will achieve his ultimate world dominance by giving his power and authority to this latter days united world government.
Interesting to note, the Bible says the whole world is already under the SWAY of the wicked one. (1 John 5:19)
Prophetically described as a seven-headed red dragon, the end of the age world government will have the tyrannical, barbaric and hedonistic DNA of all historical, one-world governments; the Babylonian government, the Medes and Persian government, the Greek government and the Roman Empire.
In addition, the final "beast" will be anointed by satan as a deceptive united world government that includes a one world religious system that deceives the people with lying wonders.
By "peace" many will be destroyed. And unless those days are shortened, no flesh would be saved, but for the sake of the Lord's chosen, those days will be shortened. Daniel 8:25
Daniel and Revelation reveal that this end time "beast" government will devour (encompass) the entire earth before Jesus the Messiah returns for a Great War with satan, mankind's final united world government, and the one world false religious system.
Revelation 19:19-21, reveals the "great war" results; "And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him (Jesus) that sat on the horse, and against his army.
"And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh."
So, what other notable events must take place prior to the "great war" that Daniel was warned about, and the book of Revelation confirms?
According to Bible prophesy, as droughts and famines overtake the nations, Israel will receive rain and bumper crop harvests. Their fruit will go out to the whole world and the wealth of the nations will flow to Israel. God's covenant land will become the new marketplace of the world. Ezekiel 17:22-24
The Lord Reveals Himself to The World and The Jews
The Ezekiel 38 war happens as Islamic nations surround Israel. The Lord Jesus (Yeshua ha'Mashiach) will defeat Israel's enemies upon the mountains with fire and ice. Great hail stones and fiery meteors falling at the same time. It will be such an obvious miraculous victory that the entire world will then know Jesus. In fact, the House of Judah, the Jews, will also know the Lord Jesus, whom they have pierced. Zechariah 12:10
Another event that will take place before the "great war"; Daniel tells a message for the latter days that includes a great nation from the far west of the world that crosses the entire earth, without touching the ground, and subdues Persia.
In 1937, Persia changed its name to IRAN. The Iranians are Persians, not Arabs as some erroneously believe.
The latter day great nation from the west has one large great horn, signifying not just an ordinary leader, rather a great or powerful world leader. In fact, Bible Scripture says he is the first king of the far western latter day nation.
This same nation had earlier subdued the other part of the original Medes and Persian Empire, and will now subdue the mightier half. Read Daniel, chapters 7 & 8 for more clarity.
If the United States is that great latter day nation from the far west of the world spoken of in Daniel, then the world will see the USA morph into a nation that has it's new government with its first "king".
In fact, the US is currently operating with laws in place that are the antithesis of the Constitution and an emboldened president who declares he will act unilaterally, without Congressional approval as the law requires.
Essentially, our president has wittingly or unwittingly, currently established his new rule of the USA as a monarch.
Scripture declares that the latter day, first king of the far west government of the world, will send an air attack against Iran.
Again, if this interpretation is correct, this means the new United Kingdom of America will be successful in disarming Iran's nuclear power with air power and without interference from any other nation.
For this to happen soon, perhaps a back door deal will be made with Russia that includes allowing them to reabsorb Ukraine in exchange for allowing the US to subdue the Iranian nuclear threat.
Prophetically, this would mean the US completes its morphing process, subdues Iran's nuclear threat and then sees the US economy almost miraculously rebound. But only for a little while before being divided into 4 new nations; to the north, south, east and west.
Additionally, Syria's city of chemical weapons, Damascus will be destroyed. The Lord said that He will cause a fire "within" the walls of Damascus and it shall cease. Never to be inhabited again.
Damascus is the oldest continuously inhabited city in the world. When this city, (the 'house of Israel's' one time fortress 3,000 years ago), is destroyed, it will signal a coming time of trouble and loss for all of God's covenant people. Isaiah 17
Yes, the latter day war spoken of in Daniel, a "great war" manifests on earth when the Gospel of the Government, (Jesus' Government) is established as promised. (Matthew 10:7)
Jesus will arrive and throw the beast and false prophet in the lake of fire. At that time He will send satan into a prison for 1,000 years.
Then the Gospel of the Kingdom, The Government of Jesus, rules from Jerusalem for 1,000 years: the millennial reign.
Daniel 2:44, And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a government, which shall never be destroyed: and the government shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these governments, and it shall stand for ever.
YES! God's Government is at hand! (Matthew 10:7)
How will we know when the Lord, Jesus the Messiah arrives for the 1,000 year millennial government reign on earth as Revelation 20, and Zechariah 14, reveals?
According to Zechariah 14, the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem will be divided in two, north and south, when Jesus returns to overthrow the government of satan and establish His rule over all nations from Zion; Jerusalem, Israel.
At that time, the whole world will be shaken!
"Therefore I will teach them— this time I will teach them my POWER and MIGHT. Then they will know that my name is the Lord. Jeremiah 16:21
(Editor's note: There is much more Scripture to share for each prophetic event listed. May this article stir you to seek the Lord and to search Bible Scriptures for more complete truth. 1 Corinthians 13:12)

In preparation of the collapse of the economy, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security has ordered over 2-Billion bullets, many of which are meant to kill (hollow-point) and illegal in the theater of war. Please note that reportedly only 70-million bullets were used annually in the Iraq war.
Military troops are now training for urban warfare on the streets of U.S. cities, and drones are beginning to fly over our houses.
The impending collapse of the world marketplace will result in many changes, unbelievable changes and many troubles in the U.S. and the world. A run on the banks, rioting in the streets, and martial law will be imposed. A major disaster such as a 9.0 earthquake in a populated region is all it will take to bring down the house of cards.
We are living in a time the Bible calls "Beginning of Birth Pangs". Wars, rumors of wars, diseases, earthquakes; and then shall they persecute you and hand you over to be killed. And you shall be hated by all nations because you keep the testimony of the blood of the Lamb, Yahshua, and do not deny His word. Only those among the believers who love not their lives unto the death will overcome.
How is the stage being set for the persecution of Bible believers to escalate in the U.S.?
On December 23, 2011, President Obama signed the NDAA 2012 bill, which includes new laws that are the antithesis of the Constitution. Obviously, when the President imposes these laws, which say he can arrest any U.S. Citizen for mere suspicion of being a "threat", and imprison them indefinitely without a trial, the Constitution will essentially be stricken as null and void by this new form of government.
And just who does the U.S. Government deem to be a "threat"?
According to the Department of Homeland Security, in a document they released just two months after President Obama was inaugurated, they describe those Citizens they deem to be a "threat" to the U.S. Government. The document is titled Intelligence Analysis Assessment of Rightwing Extremism, and it lists Veterans, Bible believers, gun owners, border control advocates, right-to-life advocates and others with conservative ideology as "threats".
Martial law has yet to be implemented in the U.S., and already the U.S. Government is ignoring the Constitution and arresting some for merely speaking out against what they believe to be Government corruption.
Interestingly enough, when signing NDAA 2012 into law, President Obama declared he would "not" use the very arrest powers contained therein. The very arrest powers he doggedly sought the legislative branch for.
Wake up, America!
Also alarming, some U.S. leaders are already declaring you are not wanted, not needed and not welcome if you agree with Bible Scripture regarding the God-ordained Covenant of marriage, which is exclusive to a male and female union and has been since inception and for millennia.
Yes, the current U.S. Government has now come out of the closet to spearhead the militant homosexual attack against Bible doctrines and those who believe and follow them.
Prepare your congregations and families now; unprecedented persecution in the U.S. has already begun and will escalate to levels never before seen in this nation.
In fact, the U.S Government has already revealed their true colors in places like Iraq, Libya and Egypt, where they've helped to remove dictators only to replace them with the Islamic political terror puppets, such as the Muslim Brotherhood.
Meanwhile, the U.S. remains silent, essentially winking at the Muslims who murder their Christian neighbors. Soon, the U.S. will bring their road show home; how will you respond then?
When the government sought to arrest and imprison Paul for declaring the Gospel, he fled. This is his personal testimony: "In Damascus the governor under King Aretas had the city of the Damascenes guarded in order to arrest me. But I was lowered in a basket from a window in the wall and slipped through his hands." (2 Corinthians 11:32-33)
When King Herod issued a decree to have children killed, Mary and Joseph actually fled from the nation of Israel and took their child, Jesus (Yeshua), to Africa, where they dwelt in Egypt until the danger passed. (Matthew 2:13)
In fact, when Yeshua grew and became a man, He fled from Jerusalem for a season because the religious leaders sought to kill Him. He stayed in the Galilee region until it was time to lay down His life. (John 7)
How has the persecution of Bible believers recently manifested in the U.S.?
Consider that the Obama Administration has issued laws, which attack your faith if your organization refuses to take part in the medical law and requirement to issue birth control and/or abortive remedies such as the 'morning after pill'.
In Arizona, a man was imprisoned for having Bible study meetings in his home, supposedly because he took up a collection. Meanwhile, it's legal to have in-home football parties with a huge guest list and take up as many collections as you want for beer runs.
Recently, a pastor from Black Earth, Wisconsin, was imprisoned for teaching Bible Scripture regarding child discipline, supposedly because he espoused the use of a small wooden spoon for spankings. Meanwhile, the Islamic political beast freely continues to teach murderous doctrines to their followers on U.S. soil to kill all non-Muslims utilizing weapons of fire and swords. Why?
So, where are believers moving to as they flee the impending collapse of the U.S. Constitution and the mounting religious persecution of Bible believers?
While many may elect to return to nations of their family origin, such as Israel, it's important to remember that last days persecution of believers is prophesied and will eventually encompass the entire globe before Messiah returns.
"The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation. He is my stronghold, my refuge and my savior—from violent people you save me." (2 Samuel 22:2), (Psalm 31:3), (Psalm 46:7)
A Time to be Scattered

Bible prophecy in the news revealing the truth, prepared by email@example.com to help explain the end times, last days revelation and prophecy in the news that is beginning to happen all across the United States of America and around the world. Those who accept Jesus as Lord and Savior, confessing and forsaking their sins, will be forgiven. Rom. 10, & 1 John 1
1 Timothy 3:12, Let deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.
2 Timothy 4:3, For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers;
In front of the house where my wife and I are currently staying with her elderly parents, who require much help, there sat a USA yard sign that makes its way out of storage each year as the July 4th holiday approaches.
It was just a few days before the United States Supreme Court would illegally legislate to redefine God's holy covenant of marriage, when my wife and I embarked on an evening walk in the warm summer air. As we made our way to the front yard, she made a comment completely out of character when she said, "The USA is falling."
A day or two later, closer to the Supreme Court's expected redefinition of marriage, as my wife and I began another evening walk through the neighborhood, I casually looked over and saw that the USA sign had fallen flat on the ground.
"The USA has fallen," I announced to my wife. Her first response upon seeing the new position of the sign was to chuckle. But I reminded her how it may be a prophetic sign worth consideration, especially with the impending US attack against God's holy covenant of marriage..
Time to Mourn the Death of America
On July 1st, just days after the Supreme Court redefined God's marriage covenant, my mother-in-law made an announcement, "The clip on the flag pole is broken and the flag has fallen," she said.
She was speaking about the United States flag on the flag pole in the front yard that has flown there for at least a dozen years. When I went outside and looked to see the flag, it was at half-staff. As most know, an American flag at half staff is a sign of national mourning.
Well, considering the illegal and contrary executive orders Presidents Bush and Obama have set up, the illegal and demonic legislation from the Supreme Court, and the rise of lukewarm Americanized Christianity, this time it is the death of the United States that is being mourned.
