They are held prisoners of themselves from their own delusional subjective narcissistic world of victim status and burning rage. These have reaped their OWN lawless doings and need a scapegoat to destroy and to avenge their own self afflicted adversities (Gal. 6:7). The State - who is almighty god to them - has put them in these socialistic "self-afflicted" prisons, yet they rage against the very ones who provide the capital, which provides them food, shelter and a measure of aid. As the day grows exceedingly darker and the hour of the Day of the Lord draws ever more nigh, expect to see this lawless rage, hatred, violence and hardness of godless man EXPONENTIALLY intensify (Matt. 24:12, Rom. 3, 2 Tim. 3:1-4, Rev. 9:20-21). For what you are witnessing are the global rumblings of the armies of Lucifer massing to the final epic expression of godlessness and hatred ever displayed! The Battle of Armageddon!?Today human technology, violence, godlessness, oppression and darkness has saturated the world and is EXPONENTIALLY at its height; Lucifer is putting the final touches and preparing this present world and his fallen angelic hosts for the final showdown AGAINST Almighty God and His ETERNAL sovereignty of RIGHTEOUSNESS.??In Lucifer's darkened vision and agenda he is seeking for himself the worship from Almighty God's creation,, the establishment of his 666 global state under his anti-Christ and the FINAL delusional designs for the eradication of his Creator (Almighty God).? Ever since his expulsion from Heaven's courtroom Lucifer has been so zealously at work to establish his darkened delusional kingdom and self-worship. Whatever masses of raging humanity that remain during the last days of GREAT tribulation, Lucifer will lead to the plains of Megiddo for the Battle of Armageddon (Isa.14:12-17, John 8:44, Rev. 13: 4, 16:13-16).?The Battle of Armageddon will commence near the end of the seven year tribulation period in which a sin ravished "EXPONENTIALLY CATASTROPHIC" world's remnant will march to war against Almighty God and His ETERNAL sovereignty over His creation (Joel 3:2,12, Zech. 12:2, Rev. 16:13-16). This global remnant of rebellious humanity of the ravished world at this time will make their final delusional destination, clawing and crawling to war against their Creator. So focused, so driven, so blind with such EXPONENTIAL subjective, vindictive hatred that seven years of the EXPONENTIAL horrific consequences of godless man along with the SUPERNATURAL Divine judgments of Almighty God will NOT DETOUR these individual's godless passion, hatred and consuming desire to establish their insane and delusional godless utopia and seek the full eradication Almighty God from His creation (Rev. 9:20-21, 16:9,11). No wonder Almighty God will laugh His head off at the full blown insanity of the nations of this period (Psalm 2).?Just before this battle's commencement - as the world's global armies under Lucifer's demonic leadership and the anti-Christ's despotic mandate - which are comprise the 10 regions of the world (Dan. 2:34,40-44, 7:7-27, Rev. 17:12-17) - will ADVANCE their way through seven years of global catastrophic obstacles and tribulation to war with Almighty God (Dan. 9:27, 2 Thess. 2:9-12, Rev. 16:13-16). These people from the 10 regions of the anti-Christ will ADVANCE through the seas and rivers of blood which have been cursed by Almighty God (Rev. 16:3-6, 17:13-14), they will ADVANCE through the catastrophic global landscapes covered with the horrific carnage of global war (Rev. 6:1-8, 9:14-21, 16), they will ADVANCE through the catastrophic obstacles of the natural and SUPER natural disasters inflicted by Almighty God in His wrath (Rev. 6-16). In their insanity and rage they will NEVER STOP MARCHING UNTIL THEY HAVE ARRIVED AT THEIR FINAL DESTINATION AND SHOW DOWN. These will NOT let go of their hatred and rage as it absolutely consumes them. They are all FULLY unrepentant and possess a "Pharaoh's heart of rebellion and stone". Their only consolation and motivation for existing will be to let out their EXPONENTIAL rage on the very One who has judged them for their EXPONENTIAL godless deeds (2 Thess. 2:10-12, Rev. 9:20-21, 16:9, 11, 21).?As the aftermath of this EXPONENTIALLY INCOMPREHENSIBLE judgment quiets down, one will begin to hear the stirring of men who have survived in the global desolation and rubble. As the dust clears from this Divine EXPONENTIALLY EXPONENTIAL global earthquake judgment, the remaining surviving masses of the armies of the anti-Christ will amass and CONTINUE their ADVANCE to Israel to the plains of Megiddo (Rev. 16:13-16)! Oh my friend, what a consuming passion of wrath of these hordes! What consuming vindictive rage filled with burning hatred (Psalm 2:1-5)! They are fully UNREPENTANT as they march to their ETERNAL doom (2 Thess. 2:10, Rev. 9:20-21, 16, 19:11-21)!??As they regather themselves, crawl and claw their way to Megiddo, Almighty God will send the FINAL part of the Seventh Bowl Judgment on them! This final judgment is the heavenly bombardment of 70-100 lbs hailstones from Heaven (Rev. 16:21)!?As these 70-100 lbs hailstones bombard the remnant of the Anti-Christ satanic hosts, these will CONTINUE their ADVANCE to Armageddon DRIVEN WITH ALL CONSUMPTION OF HATRED AND RAGE. Thousands upon thousands will fall to these great hailstones but despite these horrific judgments - like those of the past seven years - these WILL NOT be distracted nor repent! They will CONTINUE to slander and blaspheme Almighty God until their final eradication with the Lord Jesus Christ's return from heaven's glory (Dan. 2:43-45, ,7:13-14, 2 Thess. 2:10, Rev. 19:11-21). It will be after these two last horrific global cataclysmic events that their personal rage and hatred towards their Creator and RIGHTEOUS SOVEREIGNTY will be at a demonic fever pitch (Psalm 2:1-4)!?As these surviving dregs of the nation's make their final ADVANCE into the valley of Megiddo, these - due to the EXPONENTIAL and CATASTROPHICALLY HORRIFIC events of the last seven years) will most likely have nothing but stones and sticks in their hands to wage war against Almighty God and His people Israel (Zech. 12:1-4, 9, 14:2-4)! Oh my friends, how pathetic a picture. Be it great atomic rockets or be it stones, these will strike out and seek to eradicate Almighty God from out His creation. This final conflict will reveal to all that fallen humanity has an incurable heart problem in (Jer. 17:9, Matt 15:19-20, Gal. 5:19-21).?In all reality, only a REMNANT of all of the nations will survive the godless trek to Megiddo. The Anti-Christ's armies at "Battle of Armageddon" will be the remaining violent dregs of a godless rebellious world (Isa. 24:5-6, Rev. 19:21). Their rage and hatred has produced a fanatical drive to survive and? reach their final destination, only to be destroyed at Christ's second coming and cast into outer darkness and flames (Isa. 24:5-6, Zech. 14:12, 2 Thess. 2:8, Rev. 19:11-21, 20:11-15). Oh, how godless the heart of man when he continually rejects reality and the RIGHTEOUSNESS of Almighty God (Jer. 17:9, Rom. 1:18-32, Rev. 9:20-21)! Man WILL NOT let go of his godless rage and rebellion EVEN when under honorific tribulation. Man - when he fully rejects Almighty God's witness, revelation and proclamation of salvation will ONLY continue FOREVER spiral downward into the subjective darkened abyss of delusional darkness and vanity (Matt. 25:41, John 3:19-21, Rev. 20:11-15, 22:11). So it is no wonder that during this period man's hardness will only exceedingly intensify and manifest its self to the EXPONENTIAL heights of depravity (Jer. 17:9)!?As we come to the very hour in which the seven year tribulation period will commence (Dan. 9:27, Rev.6), May I ask you this very pertinent question? Do you PERSONALLY know the Lord Jesus Christ as your PERSONAL Savior? My friend IF NOT, harden NOT your heart as we approach this day. May? it be that you see things from Almighty God's ETERNAL and BIBLICAL perspective. Call on the Lord Jesus Christ and YOU will be saved (Acts 16:29-31)! May it be so!?The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!??Closer Than Many Think - By Daymond Duck - ??? As I began to pray and think about what to write, my mind quickly turned to the many things that have hit the news very recently. Obviously there are many scoffers walking after their own lusts, church members and non-church members who question the promise of His coming (II Pet. 3:3-4).? ?But when it comes to relating current events to Bible prophecy they have a veil over their minds and they are blind to what is going on (II Cor. 3:12-16).?Concerning the battle of Gog and Magog, the P5 + 1 agreement with Iran could result in a war that will change the world (Ezek. 38-39). With the negotiations dragging on through missed deadlines and overtime sessions? on July 5, 2015 it was reported that the IDF has appointed a special team to plan for a potential Israeli strike on Iran's nuclear facilities if an attack is needed. ?According to the report, Israel believed a planning team was needed at that time because the P5 +1 were close to signing an agreement that would require an Israeli military attack.?Indeed, an agreement was signed that lets Iran get a nuclear bomb in the? next 3 months to 10 years depending upon whether the Mullahs keep the agreement or not; lets Iran sell oil to acquire money that can be used to strengthen its military and fund terrorism; requires Israel, the EU and others to have anti-missile systems to defend against Iranian nuclear missiles, etc.?Almost immediately, Israel's Prime Minister Netanyahu said Israel won't be bound by that agreement. Support for a war with Iran surged in Israel and Prince Bandar of Saudi Arabia said it would wreak havoc in the already destabilized Middle East.?Many pundits can't understand why Pres. Obama would agree to what some are calling an insane document, but it occurs to this writer that he may be deliberately trying to destabilize the Middle East to create a crisis that will allow Globalists to bring in their cherished New World Order (world government).?Concerning the North American Union (perhaps one of the Ten Regions headed up by the Ten Kings), on July 10, 2015 it was reported that Rush Limbaugh spoke out on the controversy surrounding Donald Trump's quest for the Republican nomination for president of the U.S. ?Mr. Trump? has drawn strong criticism over his opposition to sanctuary cities and the failure of government officials to deport Hispanic illegal alien criminals. Mr. Limbaugh believes the root cause of this criticism is the Globalist fear that Mr. Trump could upset the Globalist plan to surrender the sovereignty of the U.S. by merging Canada, Mexico and the U.S. into a North American Union.?According to the Bible, the rise of the Ten Kings is a prerequisite to the rise of the Antichrist (Dan. 7:8). We can look for the Confederate flag to be replaced with the American flag and that to be replaced with the NAU flag.?Concerning the division of Israel, on July 9, 2015 it was reported that the re-established Jewish Sanhedrin has threatened to put Pope Francis on trial? if he doesn't apologize for misinterpreting Bible prophecy, not recognizing that God gave the Promised Land to Israel forever (Gen. 17:7-8), saying?? God has replaced Israel (a false doctrine called Replacement Theology) and officially recognizing the State of Palestine.? ?The Sanhedrin has accused the Pope of blatant anti-Semitism and it is very upset over his decision to recognize a State of Palestine which would require the division of Israel, and the removal of Jews. It is the main reason why God will drag the nations into the battle of Armageddon (Joel 3:2).?Concerning the rebuilding of the Temple, on July 12, 2015 it was reported that the Temple Institute has started a "Raise a Red Heifer in Israel Fund." According to the Bible, a third Temple must be built in Israel before the middle of the Tribulation period (Dan. 9:27; Matt. 24:15-16; II Thess. 2:3-4; Rev. 11:1).? ?Priests who build this third Temple and all who serve there must first be cleansed with water of separation containing the ashes of a sacrificed unblemished three-year old red heifer (Num. 19). So the Temple Institute has started a fund to produce and care for a red heifer without spot and blemish in Israel, which they see as a prerequisite for the building of the? third Temple.?Concerning the coming economic collapse, in addition to the Greek default, Puerto Rico's problems and the 30%+ decline in China's stock market, on July 15, 2015 it was reported that Texas will soon establish a bank called? the Texas Bullion Depository. Customers will be allowed to store precious metals (gold, silver, etc.) there and it will be protected from seizure by our broke U.S. government.?It has been an exciting 10 days and there is a lot more that can't be covered or this article will be too long. Just know that Bible prophecy is advancing very fast and our going home may be closer than many think.?Prophecy Plus MinistriesDaymond & Rachel Duck?daymond.duck@The seeds of World War III may have been sown - Russ Sloan - what may well be the greatest foreign policy blunder in the history of the United States, President Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry may have just sown the seeds for World War III via the Iran nuclear agreement. We sold out our allies in the Middle East and rewarded our adversaries.? Apparently, the Obama administration learned absolutely nothing from Bill Clinton's failed 1994 experience with North Korea, now a rogue nation with nuclear bombs. Clinton's assurance then sounded just like President Obama's today. Birds of a feather, I presume.?There is a reason why Iran's leadership, Vladimir Putin and Communist China's leadership are all applauding this one-sided agreement. We held most of the poker chips, had four kings in our hand, yet folded and lost the pot. It is absolutely astounding.?There was one very, very simple way to assess the true intentions of Iran. Had Iran readily agreed to on-site inspections of their known or suspected nuclear facilities with no advanced warnings, then that would have exhibited a major step of good faith. As it stands now, Iran can play the old shell game for all it's worth. Who knows what hidden nuclear sites they may have secretly developed, anticipating that President Obama would be desperate to get any agreement signed. It appears that we will not be permitted to inspect their military sites even if we suspect that they have a dual effort going on to develop the bomb.?Past history shows us that we should never underestimate the enemy. Remember Pearl Harbor, 9/11 and the French Maginot line designed to stop a German attack in World War II? Those proved to be costly lessons in not anticipating treachery and cunning from potential enemies. Iran has proven time and again to be untrustworthy.?We just caved in to the biggest sponsor of state terrorism who has sworn to wipe Israel off the map, and the great Satan - the U.S. - is next. We did nothing to deter their efforts on intercontinental ballistic missile development, which, according to our own intelligence, is making considerable progress. Iran will likely comply with this agreement just long enough to get the sanctions lifted and their frozen monetary assets back, and then they won't care if they're caught cheating. Iran knows that once sanctions are lifted, they are home free. The influx of money back into Iran will be used in large part to foment more unrest in the Middle East and expand their influence at our expense.?Never in my lifetime could I have envisioned any American president putting our allies and our own people in harm's way. The $150 billion windfall Iran will receive in unfrozen assets cannot be recovered if Iran fails to live up to the agreement. They can continue their missile development unhindered, and there will come a day when those missiles will carry nuclear warheads aimed at Israel and the U.S.?Comedian Ron White says, "You can't fix stupid." The Obama administration just did something very stupid, and if not fixed by other means, it could lead to a nuclear World War III. The Arab nations that fear Iran will also secure nuclear weapons in self-defense. The Middle East nuclear arms race is off and running. They now know that they can't trust President Obama, and Hillary Clinton has signaled, by her support of this Iranian deal, that they can't trust her either. The big winners in this deal are Iran and Russia. Russia has reasserted itself back into a leadership position in the Middle East, filling the void left by the Obama administration. We now cede the Middle East to Iran, ISIS and the Russians.?As I watch the goose-stepping military of Iran marching to chants of "death to Israel and America," I think of Adolf Hitler and what he would have done with nuclear weapons.Putin Threatens America with Nuclear Annihilation - Cliff Kincaid - nation is fiercely debating the Iran nuclear deal and the significance of the Ayatollah's "death to America" tweets when the real problem is Iran's sponsor, Russia, and its lunatic ruler, Vladimir Putin. By controlling the media, killing off the opposition, and smearing Ukrainian freedom fighters as Nazis, the former KGB colonel has his country worked into a collective frenzy over a concocted Western threat. Some experts believe Russia is preparing for nuclear war on a global scale. If Putin carries out his threats, America is no more. ?In this case, the U.S. is facing not only a nuclear weapons program, which is the case with Iran, but what our top generals are calling an "existential threat" to our survival as a nation.?As the National Institute for Public Policy documents in the report, "Foreign Nuclear Developments: A Gathering Storm," Russia has a new military doctrine that anticipates using nuclear weapons, and the regime has embarked on "a massive strategic modernization program to deploy new nuclear weapons and delivery systems." ?Not only that, but Russia has a ballistic missile defense to use against us. ?Geopolitical analyst Jeff Nyquist tells Accuracy in Media, "The Russians became angry and threatening when NATO tried to build a very modest missile defense system to stop an Iranian missile. Yet Russia has over 10,000 dual purpose SAM/ABMs for defense against our missiles and will be deploying a new ABM prototype next year."?He adds, "Russia has potential war winning advantages over the U.S. and NATO-not necessarily in the number of nuclear weapons but in the number of its ABM batteries, and the upgrading of these batteries with a new generation of interceptor rockets while the American side makes no effort in this direction. The U.S. ABMs in Alaska and California would be lucky to stop 12 Russian warheads." ?Despite the preoccupation with Iran's nuclear program, Iran currently has nothing of that nature which can threaten the homeland of the United States. Yet, Russia can obliterate the United States, a fact that has been highlighted recently by no less than three top American generals. The term, "existential threat," has been used repeatedly to describe the Russian challenge. That term means the Russians can destroy the United States as a nation. ?Marine Corps General Joseph Dunford, nominated to become chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said, "If you want to talk about a nation that could pose an existential threat to the United States, I'd have to point to Russia." ?His statement, made during his Senate confirmation hearing on July 9, got a significant amount of media attention. Similar warnings came from Army General Mark A. Milley, commander of U.S. Forces Command, who has been nominated to become the next Army chief of staff, and Air Force General Paul Selva, nominated to become Vice-Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. ?Dunford and the other generals acknowledge the real or potential nuclear threats from Iran, North Korea, and China. But it's Russia that is deemed an "existential threat." It is the most significant. ?Some conservatives have been complaining that patriotic military officers are being purged from the Armed Forces. Well, it appears that the purge missed Generals Dunford, Milley, and Selva. These generals are taking a risk by going against the conventional wisdom of the Obama administration. Indeed, the White House and the State Department have gone out of their way to say that the Obama administration does not agree with the assessment that Russia is an existential threat to the United States.?For the generals to go public in this manner-and to contradict the official stance of the Obama administration-suggests that the threat from Russia is very real indeed, and may be more serious than they are willing to publicly acknowledge. ?When you consider how the Iran nuclear deal came about, you begin to realize how serious it is. Obama actually thanked Putin for bringing it about. ?The CNN story, "Obama, Putin congratulate each other for Iran deal," demonstrates the nature of the problem. Although the story is designed to highlight the alleged positive roles Obama and Putin played in the deal, CNN reported that in a readout of the conversation between the two leaders, "the White House said Obama thanked Putin for Russia's role in the Iran nuclear negotiations."?Thanked Putin? This demonstrates something worse than the deal itself and the real nature of the Iranian threat. Putin should thank Obama because the U.S. is helping Iran, Russia's client state, get tens of billions of dollars in international financial aid. Down the line, Russia gets U.S. approval to supply more weapons to the anti-American regime. ?Iran is certainly a potential nuclear threat to Israel, the so-called "little Satan." But the U.S. is the "Great Satan," and our biggest nuclear threat at the current time is Russia, as our top military officers have said. Yet, Obama is treating Putin as an ally. ?Israel and its defenders have to come to grips with the fact that Iran is a threat to the Jewish state, the region, and the world because of its Russian sponsorship. Iran can't be viewed in isolation, apart from Russia. Indeed, Iran is considered to be part of a "strategic alliance" with Russia.?As we have noted on several occasions, the Iranian Ayatollah, Ali Khamenei, is KGB-trained, having been "educated" at the KGB's Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow. This means he is under Russian influence, if not an agent.?Obama has a blind spot regarding threats from the Islamic world, and that includes Iran. But his unwillingness to face up to the Russian threat, which is more serious than any on the face of the earth today, puts the very existence of the United States in jeopardy. ?Remember that Obama mocked Mitt Romney's statement during the 2012 campaign that Russia was our geopolitical adversary. Obama hasn't learned anything, despite the Russian invasion of Ukraine. He keeps refusing to supply Ukraine with heavy weapons to defend themselves. Praising the Russians for their role in the Iran deal signals something worse than just incompetence. It appears that Russia is exercising some sort of control over the Obama administration. ? We got a taste of that control when it was reported that, on Independence Day, the Kremlin announced that Putin had sent Happy July 4th greetings to Obama. We only later learned that Putin, on the same day, had also sent nuclear-capable Russian bombers off the coast of California that had to be intercepted by American aircraft. ?This duplicity is another sign of the lunatic mindset of the former KGB spy running the show in Moscow. This nuclear blackmail is much more serious than a tweet from the Iranian Ayatollah showing Obama with a gun to his head. Putin has a nuclear gun pointed at America and we have practically no defense against it.Iran Deal Worth More than All U.S. Aid to Israel Since 1948 - Joel B. Pollak - Iran deal will provide Iran with a cash windfall as sanctions are eased and assets are unfrozen. The total amount is estimated to be as high as $150 billion. If so, the Iran deal would give more cash to Iran than the $124.3 billion U.S. has given in total aid to Israel since 1948.?The exact amount that Iran would gain through the unfreezing of its foreign assets is a matter of some dispute. The Israeli ambassador has put the number at $150 billion; the Obama administration puts the number at $50 billion, since some of Iran's assets "have already been obligated, including for projects with China," the New York Times reports. Others say the number is higher; Foreign Policy estimated the number at "north of $120 billion," with an additional $20 billion per year in oil revenues, making the deal worth $420 billion over 15 years.?If "north of $120 billion" is the best estimate, that would equal or surpass the total amount of U.S. aid to Israel since the country has been in existence, which the Congressional Research Service calculated to be $124.3 billion (in nominal terms) as of 2015. Even at the Obama administration's low estimate, the cash freed to Iran by the deal would surpass total U.S. aid to Israel for the past 15 years, at minimum (roughly $3 billion per year).?It is true that the cash that Iran will access is "their own money," as Secretary of State John Kerry has argued. Yet much of Israel's aid is spent back in the U.S.-at least 75 percent of military aid, by law. In that sense, a large proportion of aid to Israel comes back as "our money" as well. Iran, of course, is not obligated to spend any of its foreign currency in the United States, and is certain to spend some of it on its terrorist proxies throughout the Middle East, as even the White House has conceded.?Given how controversial aid to Israel has become on the left (and portions of the right), the sheer scale of Iran's benefits ought to give pause to supporters of the deal.??The Rapture and the Thief in the Night - Trailer??We must all face the facts and realize that all of us have friends and family members that are going to miss the rapture.

Every word the narrator speaks, is clearly on the screen.?A Must See DVD?Every believer needs to watch this DVD and then share it with their friends, family members, and co-workers. Every church, and small bible study group, should watch this DVD and use it to evangelize. There is an?invitation?at the end of the DVD, that gives everyone the opportunity to ask Jesus into their lives!?Evangelistic?tool?It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words, well, then a DVD, with thousands of images, must be priceless.

We are about to enter a time like no other time, a time that no man has ever seen, a time like no other time in the history of this world, as a matter of fact we are about to enter the end times. Since the dawn of mankind, there have always been wars and rumors of wars, earthquakes, famines, pestilences, disease, strange-weather and false Christ's just as Jesus predicted. Fast forward nearly 2,000 years since Jesus made this prediction, and you have today's headlines lining up exactly with the Word of God. The big thing?isn't?that these events?are happening today, is that they are all happening at the very same time! Bible prophecy is being fulfilled right before our very eyes.? Fulfilled prophecy is increasing in frequency and intensity just like birth pains, and Jesus said when you see these know that I am near, even at the door.All the signs of the last days are converging at the same time. Bible Prophecy is happening right before our eyes and like birth pains, ?the predicted events are happening more frequently and more intently. Never, in the history throughout the world have so many forces, including economic, scientific, techno-logic, ecologic, cultural, geopolitical, moral, spiritual and religion, converged together to bring this world that's already teetering over the edge into the abyss, to a point of no return.

I watched it last night with my family, and we loved it, and plan to share the word about it" -?? C. Young?"My wife and I watched the video and it is outstanding. Biblically?solid...... we especially like the clear bible referencing and quoting. The video is a moving tapestry tightly weaved with spectacular photography, bible references, and the signs of the times put together like a jigsaw puzzle. The gospel is presented clearly with tender love. We pray that this DVD gets distributed far and wide. I hope youth ministers have the courage to show this DVD rather than the garbage materials of the emergent church movement." - John Wicklund Board President for Olive Tree Ministries ?"I received The End of Times DVD today. It is Superb! For those that don't know much, or anything about Bible Prophecy, this DVD should really open their eyes, a great teaching tool. For those that have grown cold or indifferent in the Lord, this should awaken them." T. Nelson??"The DVD provides an effective mix of biblical teaching and history, interspersed with the happenings in Israel today.? Particularly effective is the emotional ending showing the return of Jewish people worldwide back to Israel and traveling with a sense of destiny.? Many commentators have said Israel is God's hour hand, Jerusalem is the minute hand, and the Temple Mount is the second hand on God's timepiece.? The video is a great introduction and myth-buster for those who do not know of the importance of Israel in God's eyes or who believe Israel has as much significance in today's world as Madagascar or the Canary Islands." - John Wicklund, Chairman Olive Tree Ministries Board of Directors?Got the DVD today and just finished watching it...outstanding!!! Loved it!!! - G. Madison - Oklahoma??I watched "Israel God's Timepiece" last night and thoroughly enjoyed it. I have loved Israel ever since I read the book "Exodus", when I was in the Army in 1958. I do everything I can to support Israel and get people involved in what they are going through, and more than that, to pray for Peace in Jerusalem, according to Psalm 122. Your DVD was a fitting tribute to this wonderful, spectacular country and God's very own "baby". Thanks for taking the time to put it together. Very well done. - J. Masters - Mississippi?It is really a professional production and I see why it is so well received. In fact we felt it is actually the best film we have seen on end time events. - Bill & Brenda Hicks??At first I thought it was going to be another routine message but as it progressed it became more and more impressive. It was a great message. Congratulations on a very well presented and produced DVD. - R. Webb - Williamsburg?Another effective witness from Randy and Prophecy Update. The "There will be Tribulation" video describes the purpose and the sequence of events during the final seven years prior to the return of the Lord Jesus Christ. The linkage to many Old Testament prophecies clearly show the importance of the nation of Israel to this seven-year period. The pictures in the video document a world already full of tribulation- how terrible will be those seven years. Great teaching tool for small groups and youth ministers to present the gospel message through the topic of bible prophecy. - John Wicklund Chair- Olive Tree Ministries Board of Directors??"Moving and Inspirational" - D. Koerner, Bakersfield, CA??"Your Presentation will literally scare the h-ll out some people.

If there is such a movement, who are the players? How does Pope Francis fit in since he seems to be a major mover??Thirty years ago Gary Kah was a European trade specialist for the State of Indiana. There he learned there was, indeed, a plan for a global financial system and world government. A one-world interfaith push was a part of this. He has been used as a watchman warning anyone who would listen since then.?He sounded a warning on my most recent radio program heard here: ?How might the Iranian deal of mid-July fit into this scenario? First, it will destabilize the entire planet. Like no other single event, it catapulted us into a final days' scenario.?Jim Hutchens of The Jerusalem Connection said it best: "The catastrophic results of the Obama administration's deal with Iran are readily apparent and have been widely touted. What has not been noted is that our narcissistic, self-absorbed president has prematurely achieved his demonic obsession for a legacy.? ?"He will be known throughout eternity as the one who jump-started the process that produced the most destructive nuclear holocaust in the history of humanity--the slaughter of a third of mankind--over two and a third billion people." (Revelation 6) ?Indeed, that is quite a legacy. Who in their right mind would want that? And this one move has pushed us pell mell into what will become a one-world governmental, political, and religious system. The disastrous fall-out from this deal, approved by the P5+1 and the U.N. Security Council, will require a "man with a plan" as the world rocks and reels from this catastrophic blunder by foolish men who think they are farsighted but who are blind as bats. But they are blind, in part, because God's plan for the end of the age must march on. In part, God has blinded them. ?As Gary Kah said on my most recent radio program, "A perfect storm is brewing yet few are preparing for it, even spiritually. This is playing into the world government plan."?This isn't conspiracy. It's Bible-based. Revelation 13 talks about a one-world system, and as Carl Teichrib writes in Kah's newsletter, "Watch as religious leaders and organizations continue to call for global order, progressive internationalism, and world unity. These demands for interdependence will advance as wars and rumors of wars increase, and as other crises-real or perceived-unfold before our eyes. Cultural 'progressive' thinking will likewise add momentum to the cause, energizing the demand for global oneness."?Pope Francis is in favor of a "New World Order?The Marxist-oriented Pope, who even conservative Catholics have warned about, is pushing globalism by being a spokesman for "sustainable development." The United Nations and every other globalist outfit or individual pushes this effort.? ?Simply stated, we must change everything to sustain the ability to live on this planet. Everything must change: the environment, world peace, income redistribution, international treaties such as Iran. It is a push to take care of the planet and world government is the only solution.?The Pope kicks off the September 25 United Nations and will push these issues. It will lead to the climate change conference in Paris which is November 30 - December 11. Kah feels this is the most important meeting of this year and climate is not the main part of the agenda. ?He feels this meeting will produce an international global agreement that will obligate nations of the world to go along with 17 points. They will include poverty, education, gender equality, water issues, energy, and many more issues that will be a step further towards global government.?A few more international crises along the way will make it all come together?Gary Kah concludes, "Never before have so many signs of the times manifested simultaneously. Watching the evening news is like witnessing the prophecies of Scripture unfold before our eyes. An emerging caliphate in the Middle East; an energized Russia--thought to be dead; the global economy teetering on the brink because of insurmountable debt; the Pope making interfaith alliances with other religions. These and other headlines are setting the stage for world government that will be presented as the only practical solution in order for mankind to survive."?The web of deception being engineered by Satan's forces is vast and well thought out. He is a formidable adversary but will meet his destiny when Christ returns to defeat him and reign as our victorious King. Unfortunately, between now and then, our lives will not become easier, but rather, more difficult. The Bible has warned of these times, and they are now upon us.?Sadly, you won't hear about it in most churches today.? ?Hear more of what Gary Kah has to say on our current "Understanding the Times" radio program here: Arab League to meet on 'dangerous development' in Jerusalem - says August 5 meeting called by Abbas, denies PA president set to resign; Palestinians warn death of youth may prompt 'serious decisions' ?The Arab League will convene to discuss the Temple Mount clashes Sunday between Palestinian youths and Israeli police, settlement construction, and various killings of Palestinians by Israeli forces in the past week, Palestinian officials said Monday. ?Dozens of masked Palestinian protesters hurled rocks, Molotov cocktails and firecrackers at police officers on the Temple Mount compound in Jerusalem's Old City Sunday morning, before being pushed back into the al-Aqsa Mosque by security forces who were rushed to the area. The skirmishes and visit by several hundred Jewish visitors to mark Tisha B'Av, a day of mourning for the destruction of the two Jewish temples, were condemned by Jordan as a "violation."?Chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat told reporters that foreign ministers from 15 Arab states will meet on August 5 to discuss what he called the "dangerous development" in Jerusalem.?They will discuss "Israeli escalations at al-Aqsa Mosque, continuing settlements, extrajudicial arrests and assassinations and forced displacements" of Palestinians, he said after meeting the League's chief Nabil al-Arabi at its Cairo headquarters.?Erekat said the meeting had been called by Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas. The meeting will also discuss Palestinian reconciliation efforts and a new Arab bid to end Israeli control of the West Bank and East Jerusalem through the United Nations, Erekat added.?Erekat on Monday also denied that Abbas would resign in two months' time. Channel 1 TV reported Sunday that the 80-year-old president's resignation was due to "fatigue," citing Palestinian officials. There was no official confirmation of the report.?"The Israel press works to hurt the PA every single day," Erekat claimed, according to Israel Radio.?Meanwhile, PA spokesman Nabil Abu Rudeineh condemned the death of a Palestinian youth during an arrest raid on Monday, saying it would force the Palestinians to make "serious decisions," according to the official Wafa news agency.?The Palestinian teen fell to his death from a roof early Monday morning after he was shot by Israeli police who were attempting to arrest him, police said. Palestinian sources denied that he died in a fall and claimed that he had been executed. It was the third time in the past week that a Palestinian was killed during an arrest attempt.?The Palestinian Foreign Ministry said that "the atmosphere of incitement and racial statements made by the Israeli government's right-wing" prompted the incident in Qalandiya on Monday.?"In its declared statements, the Israeli government seems to be well determined on violence and counter violence, and is ostensibly seeking to plunge the Palestinian arena into the circle of violence to avert peacemaking and a negotiated solution to the conflict," the ministry said, according to Wafa.?Tensions between Israel and the Palestinians have run high in the past week, following the shooting deaths of two other Palestinians by Israeli forces in separate incidents on Wednesday and Thursday, and the approval of the construction of hundreds of homes in the West Bank, ending a de facto construction freeze.?However, Israeli sources told The Times of Israel on Sunday that Interior Minister Silvan Shalom held talks with Erekat in Amman in recent days.?Shalom, a senior Likud lawmaker, also serves as the chief Israeli negotiator in peace talks with the Palestinians. He said in a recent speech at a conference that he believes Israel and the Palestinians "need to renew negotiations and try to reach understandings and agreements."?He also said at the time that he was in favor of "frank talks that are conducted discreetly," apparently such as those in Amman.?The official topic and outcome of the recent discussions were unclear, although the meeting was described as a "trust-building" move. It was the latest in a string of clandestine talks between Israeli and Palestinian officials since the new Israeli government was sworn in earlier this year.The Economic And Financial Problems In Europe Are Only Just Beginning... - By Michael Snyder - ??Right now, the financial world is focused on the breathtaking stock market crash in China, but don't forget to keep an eye on what is happening in Europe.? Collectively, the European Union has a larger population than the United States, a larger economy than either the U.S. or China, and the banking system in Europe is the biggest on the planet by far.? So what happens in Europe really matters, and at this point the European economy is absolutely primed for a meltdown.? European debt levels have never been higher, European banks are absolutely loaded with non-performing loans and high-risk derivatives, and the unemployment rate in the eurozone is currently more than double the unemployment rate in the United States.? In all the euphoria surrounding the "deal" that temporarily kept Greece in the eurozone, I think that people have forgotten that the economic and financial fundamentals in Europe have continued to deteriorate.? Whether Greece ultimately leaves the eurozone or not, a great financial crisis is inevitably coming to Europe.? It is just a matter of time.?In many ways, the economy of Europe is in significantly worse shape than the U.S. economy.? Just recently, the IMF issued a report which warned that the eurozone is "susceptible to negative shocks" and could be facing very tough economic times in the near future.? The following comes from the Guardian...?The International Monetary Fund has warned the eurozone faces a gloomy economic outlook thanks to lingering worries over Greece, high unemployment and a banking sector still battling to shake off the financial crisis.?The IMF's latest health check on the eurozone found it was "susceptible to negative shocks" as growth continues to falter and monetary policymakers run out of ways to help. It called for an urgent "collective push" from the currency union to speed up reforms or else risk years of lost growth.?"A moderate shock to confidence - whether from lower expected future growth or heightened geopolitical tensions - could tip the bloc into prolonged stagnation," said Mahmood Pradhan, the IMF's mission chief for the eurozone.?But even if there are no "shocks" to the European economy in the months ahead, the truth is that it is already in terrible shape and much of the continent is already mired in an ongoing economic depression.?Today, the official unemployment rate in the United States is just 5.3 percent, but the unemployment rate for the eurozone as a whole is sitting at 11.1 percent.? That is an absolutely terrible number, but most Europeans have come to accept it as "the new normal".? The following are some of the prominent nations in Europe that currently have an unemployment rate of above 10 percent...?France: 10.3 percentItaly: 12.4 percentPortugal: 13.7 percentSpain: 22.37 percentGreece: 25.6 percent?And remember, these unemployment numbers often greatly understate the true scope of the problem.?For instance, in Italy the number of people "willing to work but not actively searching" is much higher than the number of Italians that are officially unemployed...?For every 100 working Italians, there are 15 people seeking a job and another 20 willing to work but not actively searching, the highest level among the 28 EU countries, according to statistics agency Eurostat.?So would the true rate of unemployment in Italy be greater than 30 percent if honest numbers were being used??That is something to think about.?Meanwhile, debt levels in virtually all European nations have shot up substantially since the last financial crisis.? Just consider the staggering debt to GDP ratios in the following nations...?France: 95.0 percentSpain: 97.7 percentBelgium: 106.5 percentIreland: 109.7 percentPortugal: 130.2 percentItaly: 132.1 percentGreece: 177.1 percent?Greece is not the only debt crisis that Europe is facing by a long shot.? All of the other nations on that list are going down the exact same path that Greece has gone down.?So whether or not a "permanent solution" can be found for Greece, the reality of the matter is that Europe's debt problems are only just beginning.?Meanwhile, the economic crisis in Greece continues to become even more dire.? At this point, nearly half of all loans in the country are non-performing, authorities are warning that bank account holders may be forced to take 30 percent haircuts when the banks are finally "bailed in", and it is being reported that Greek banks may keep current restrictions on cash "in place for months"...?Greek banks are set to keep broad cash controls in place for months, until fresh money arrives from Europe and with it a sweeping restructuring, officials believe.?Rehabilitating the country's banks poses a difficult question. Should the eurozone take a stake in the lenders, first requiring bondholders and even big depositors to shoulder a loss, or should the bill for fixing the banks instead be added to Greece's debt mountain??Answering this could hold up agreement on a third bailout deal for Greece that negotiators want to conclude within weeks.?The longer it takes, the more critical the banks' condition becomes as a 420 euro ($460) weekly limit on cash withdrawals chokes the economy and borrowers' ability to repay loans.?Nothing has been "solved" in Greece.? The only thing that has been accomplished so far is that Greece has been kept in the euro (at least for the moment).? But for the average person on the street things continue to go from bad to worse.?How soon will it be until we see similar scenarios play out in Italy, Spain, Portugal and France??As things in the eurozone continue to deteriorate, nations that were planning to join the euro are suddenly not so eager to do so...?Poland will not join the euro while the bloc remains in danger of "burning", its central bank governor said. Marek Belka, who has also served as the country's prime minister, said the turmoil in Greece had weakened confidence in the single currency. "You shouldn't rush when there is still smoke coming from a house that was burning. It is simply not safe to do so. As long as the eurozone has problems with some of its own members, don't expect us to be enthusiastic about joining," he said.?Yes, definitely keep an eye on what is happening in China.? Without a doubt, it is very big news.?But I believe that what is going on in Europe will ultimately prove to be an even bigger story.?The greatest financial crisis that Europe has ever seen is coming, and it is going to shake up the entire planet.??Daily Jot: Wicked leadership and evil deeds - Bill Wilson - ?Last month, the Charleston, SC community pulled itself together after Black churchgoers were murdered by a White supremacist. All the while, the "president" was fanning the flames of racism and distrust. In the day after the shootings, the "president," instead of trying to bring the nation together, played his usual hand of division by lecturing America about race and guns. He said, "And at some point it's going to be important for the American people to...shift how we think about the issue of gun violence collectively....And we know that hatred across races and faiths pose a particular threat to our democracy and our ideals." In the days following, he continued his mantra. His leadership has only made the issue worse.?Within four months of taking office in 2009, the "president" and his team reshaped a Homeland Security report depicting as extremists Christians who believed in traditional marriage, were pro-life, and supported the Constitution's Bill of Rights. He has routinely lectured Christians about their sins of the past, especially slavery. He has promoted Islam at the expense of Christianity--even though Islam to this day is the world's largest purveyor human trafficking, slavery, and sex slavery. He has said that Christians shouldn't be on their "high horse" because of their sinful past. Should it be a surprise when psychopaths go on a killing spree that they target Christians? Maybe some people think this is an unfair characterization.?But then, in a society where gun ownership has increased dramatically over the "president's" tenure, and violent crime using guns has dramatically decreased (FBI and Department of Justice statistics), violent gun crime against Christian churches has increased tremendously. Former Focus on the Family employee Carl Chinn began researching church violence after he was a responder in a standoff with a gunman who took hostages at the Focus on the Family ministry in 1996. According to his website, deadly church violence since 2009 (when the current "president" took office) has increased 422% over the previous 11 years. Deaths increased 342% during the same period. ?It would be a reasonable assumption that the current "president" has arguably presided over the most violent time against churches in recent American history. He didn't physically go out and do the violence. But his characterization of conservative Christians (pro-gun, pro-life, pro-marriage) as racists, radicals and extremists may have contributed to inciting such violence. Proverbs 28:15 says, "As a roaring lion, and a charging bear; so is a wicked ruler over the poor people." And Proverbs 29:2 says, "When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked bears rule, the people mourn." History shows that wicked leadership leads to evil deeds. This "president" is no exception.? ?Daily Devotion: A Part of Everything - Greg Laurie - ??At this point many of his disciples turned away and deserted him. -John 6:66?When Jesus laid out for His disciples what it really meant to follow Him, many of His so-called disciples left. Then Jesus turned to Peter and the others and said, "Are you also going to leave?" (John 6:67).?Peter said, "Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words that give eternal life" (verse 68). I love that. Peter was saying, "Lord, we don't know everything about You. We don't get You at times. But this much we know: We are sticking with You. We have made a commitment to You, and we want to be close to You.?Are you willing to say that to Jesus? Are you ready to say, "Lord, I want You to go with me wherever I go"? Sure, we will say it to Him when we get on a plane. Lord, bless the pilots. Help the plane operate properly. Lord, get me to my destination safely. There is nothing wrong with praying a prayer like that. Nor is there anything wrong with praying as you are going into the operating room, Lord, be with me now. Guide the hands of the surgeons. Let the operation be successful.?We are enthusiastic about praying when we are headed into an uncertain situation or into rough waters. But are we also ready to say, "Lord, go with us on our vacation," "Lord, go with us as we go out tonight," "Lord, go with us as we go to that party," or "Lord, be with us as we go to this movie"??Remember, Jesus has His eyes on you. He is looking at you. And we should be able to invite Jesus everywhere-into rough waters and times of crisis as well as into leisure time. We should invite Jesus to be a part of everything we do.FROM THE HEART??IF YOU HAVE BEEN BLESSED THROUGH THIS MINISTRY, THEN WE ASK THAT YOU WOULD PLEASE REMEMBER PROPHECY UPDATE IN YOUR GIVING - WE ARE TRULY,?TRULY,?THANKFUL FOR YOUR SUPPORT??Prophecy Update has no corporate sponsors.
