When they are already budding, you see and know for yourselves that summer is now near. So you also, when you see these things happening, know that the kingdom of God is near. Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all things take place.? Luke 21:29-32?It's easy to see how Christ's depictions of the events in the Olivet Discourse, fit quite nicely into the Seal Judgments of Revelation 6.? But just because they can fit, doesn't mean they are exclusive to them.? We've always had wars.? We've always had earthquakes.? We've always had famines.? What is unique about the 'beginning of sorrows', is not that they happen, but how they happen.? As if it is the culmination of all the signs together, both in intensity and frequency, all wrapped up in one generation.?But something else to consider about the 'beginning of sorrows' that often gets overshadowed by the increasing birth pangs, aside from the sharp pangs that comes when the woman's uterus contracts, is the increasing discomfort of pregnancy itself.? Similarly, true, born-again Christians are becoming more and more uncomfortable in this world, is as sure a testimony to the lateness of the hour, as is the sharp pangs of travail.? "Christians" who aren't uncomfortable in this world, are either completely oblivious to the darkening spiritual storm clouds gathering overhead, or they are Christians in name only.?The Mother of all Whoppers?This is a bit of speculation on my part, but in my mind, I'm trying to reconcile a number of different significant events and how they tie into each other.? Both scholar and student have long wondered how and when the Battle of Gog and Magog tie into both the Olivet Discourse, and the Seal Judgments.? The Apostle Paul, in his second letter to the Thessalonians, makes mention of something that has long puzzled many on what exactly it could be.??The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.? 2 Thess. 2:9-12?Many have proposed ideas of what they think "the lie" really is, and here are a few of the front runners thus far;?1.Aliens finally make contact with mankind just after the Rapture, and tell the earth that they removed the Christians because they were what was holding man back from the next great, evolutionary leap forward.? 2.The mother earth goddess Gaia, made the rapture (or great disappearance) happen as a way to rid the world of all the trouble makers.3.The Nephilim will rise up as a master race and magically rid the world of Christians.4.The Islamic Mahdi returns, and rids the world of Christians, or presents himself as the Messiah shortly thereafter.5.The Antichrist's miraculous resurrection (or perceived as such) from the dead. (Rev. 13:3)?But, I have a different theory about what the 'the lie' is.? Let me emphasize again, that this is a theory, I've not worked out all the details on it, but study this on your own, and you be the judge.? Don Koenig had a really good article on something similar, although I don't think he holds to the same conclusion I do on it as being 'the lie'.? I also don't discount Satan's ability to conjure up some kind of story to explain away the disappearance of millions of Christians at the Rapture of the Church, and he may use this to bolster his whopper of a lie.?'The lie' is that the Battle of Gog and Magog, is mistaken for the Battle of Armageddon, which at its conclusion, the antichrist rides in on proclaiming a 'false peace' that the Jews think will usher in the Messianic Kingdom they have for so long waited for.?? Due to the nature of that battle, it's not a stretch for many people around the world to mistake the Battle of Gog and Magog, for the Battle of Armageddon, given both the general ignorance on the specifics of each for the Gentiles, and the fulfillment of Ezekiel 38-39 for the Jews.? Adding to that, is the looseness that the word 'Armageddon' has had applied to it over the years in popular movies and culture.? Bruce Willis anyone??But if you read Ezekiel 38:18-23, there are a lot of similarities there, and it would not be difficult to imagine that Biblically illiterate people are fed the notion that the Biblical Armageddon had just transpired, (when in reality it was the Magog battle), and now "peace" has come upon the earth.? This lie would particularly be effective on the Jewish people, who soundly reject the New Testament as divinely inspired and thus, also do not recognize the book of Revelation as divinely inspired text.? That may also be the point in which the Antichrist introduces or reinforces a peace covenant or accord with Israel and her surrounding neighbors...and not for Israel's protection, but for theirs.? (Dan. 9:27)?Jews today and for the past 2,000 years, have largely rejected Jesus as their Messiah, because they state if Jesus was truly the Messiah, then He failed to usher in the peaceful Messianic reign that is promised throughout the Old Testament.? They cannot reconcile that Jesus had to die first (Psalm 22; Isaiah 53), before coming back to bring in His Kingdom (Psalm 2; Isaiah 2, 11; Daniel 2:44-45; Zech. 12, 14)?Once this pseudo-peace is brokered, the Antichrist would then be in many Jew's and Gentile's eyes, the man who finally brought 'peace' to the Middle East, thus fulfilling the Jewish requirements for their Messiah, particularly after a great battle and victory as was the case for the Battle of Gog and Magog.? Of note, God repeatedly claims to be the sole source of victory for Israel, and the nations will know HIS name because of it.? It would seem that the Antichrist comes in riding on God's coattails, and then takes credit for something God did.? (Dan. 8:23-26, 11:36-39) ?Again, students of Bible prophecy know and recognize the distinctions between the two battles, but I'd venture to guess that the general population have no idea what those differences are and will likely buy into 'the lie', that this was the battle to end all battles, and that a new era of peace is about to be ushered in.? Realize, that Satan knows Scripture as well, and if he can get Israel going after the wrong Messiah immediately after a miraculous victory, then Israel will have that hand of protection removed from them allowing for the time of Jacob's trouble. ?So in how I see the order of events, based off of the Olivet Discourse, Ezekiel 38-39, and the Seal Judgments is as follows;?1.Birth pangs continue to culminate in both size, frequency, and intensity as markers to the end of the age.? The Psalm 83 and Isaiah 17 events may fall in or after the Rapture.?2.The Rapture of the Church occurs, catching the unbelieving, Christ rejecting world, off guard.? 1.This triggers a number of economic calamities that has the US collapsing as the world currency and sole superpower, dragging the global economy down with it.? This vacuum allows for the EU to rise up in its absence.?3.Post-Rapture world sees an intensification of those things listed in Matt. 24:9-14 (those things that follow the birth pangs).? This will be ramped up with the removal of the Holy Spirit's restraint as the world becomes exceedingly hostile to those who come to faith in Christ after the Rapture.?4.Gog-Magog:? Russia, Iran, and their confederates, to try and take advantage of the chaos and initiate a surprise attack on Israel, particularly while the West's guard is down and distracted with all that has transpired after the Rapture1.The Gog-Magog alliance meet calamity with God divinely protecting Israel?5."Covenant with Many":? The world and Israel rallies around the false belief that this was "Armageddon", and a man (the rider on the white horse) steps in to broker peace deals, since much of the Islamic world is defeated and deflated.? This man will also claim to be Jewish.? (John 5:43)1.This starts the clock for the 70th Week to begin. (Dan. 9:27)2.This 'peace accord' allows for the Jewish temple to be rebuilt on the temple mount.? 3.This would also begin the time for the Two Witnesses to begin their 3 ? year ministry4.144,000 Jewish male virgins are supernaturally sealed?6.The Seals:? During this time the second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth Seals are opened, thus allowing for (and are consequences of) the Antichrist efforts to solidify his authority (Rev. 13:7) over all the tribes of the earth.? Never let a good crisis go to waste.?Conclusion?I am willing to admit, that it is difficult to know how much time transpires between the Rapture of the Church, and the start of the 70th Week.? It's also difficult to determine how much time transpires between each Seal, once they are opened.? But three things are certain; the first is that the Church may live through some of the birth pangs, but it does not enter into the 70th Week.? The world needs a global event that is big enough to knock the US off the top, and also triggers enough of an emergency that warrants the need for global, economic restructuring...which is what will happen at the Rapture of the Church.? The second is that God's wrath begins with Christ initiating the judgments by opening the seals in Revelation 6:1.? The third, is that by the Sixth Seal, 1/4 of the earth's population has died, which by today's standard equals 1.75 billion people.?Truth is, it's impossible to know when all of these things will transpire, because they largely hinge on the Rapture of the Church occurring first.? In the intelligence circles, there are three types of scenarios; Known-knowns, Known-Unknowns, and Unknown-Unknowns.? What we have today, is the Known-Unknown.? In other words, we know what is coming, we just don't know how and when.? I also know that I hate to hear the phrase "the stage is being set", because it seems like the stage has been 'being set' now for the last 40 years, and things have not yet progressed much beyond that...that is until our recent President was elected into office.?Our current administration has so fundamentally transformed U.S. economic and foreign policy agendas, that despite our abject repulsion to him and his objectives, he really has put God's prophetic timeline on fast forward.? We also must remember, that it is God who appoints kings and leaders, and that they work according to His plan.? (Daniel 5:20-21, Romans 13:1)? So even though we can't wait for him to leave office, the damage has been done, and it's highly unlikely that the U.S. can recover from all that has transpired over the last eight years.?Aside from the geo-political and military posturing that is affirming what Bible prophecy has stated all along, we see other markers that point to the lateness of the hour due to their increase and intensity: ?*Theological heresy and apostasy on the rise*Lawlessness*Cynicism and hardening of hearts against the Gospel*Economic uncertainty*Rapid increase in technology and knowledge*Antichrist spirit on the rise*Supernatural phenomena*Cataclysmic environmental events?There are many other things I could list on here, but as fellow watchers, you are all aware of what they are and at this point, I feel as though I'm just preaching to the choir.? There is no silver bullet theory that accurately pinpoints the exact time of the Rapture of the Church and the start of the 70th Week of Daniel.? We can know the season, and we can see the signs that point to the nearness of His return, and anything beyond that, is pure speculation.? It is also ok to get excited about the possibility of certain times, or times that seem to be more likely than others for Christ's return...but we shouldn't let that impact either the joy of our salvation, or the surety of God's promise to return when those days come and go.? He is coming back for us, and although we can't see into the future and know when exactly that is, we just need to trust Him that His timing is perfect, and we need to focus on being the people He called us to be, in the time we have remaining here on the earth.?Until then, Maranatha!?"But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly. For it will come as a snare on all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth. Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man."? Luke 21:31-36Abbas set to annul Oslo accords, declare Palestine a state under occupation - By Avi Issacharoff - negotiator Saeb Erekat seen as mastermind behind moves, for which a recent Abbas 'resignation' served as a smokescreen?The fog created by the ostensibly impending resignation of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas appeared to clear Monday, as details emerged indicating that the resignation threats were a diversion ahead of a dramatic move planned by the Palestinians: declaring Palestine a state under occupation and reneging on their obligations as detailed in the Oslo Accords. ?The move was apparently decided on several months ago by Saeb Erekat, the acting head of the Palestinian negotiating team and the secretary general of the PLO's executive committee, who was the man behind a document setting out the Palestinians' diplomatic moves against Israel during the month of September.?Erekat, who is expected to be elected as a full member of the PLO Executive Committee at the organization's next meeting, is already emerging as one of the most powerful men in Abbas's circle and a potential successor to the 80-year-old PA president. Erekat was also the brains behind the Palestinian plan to ramp up pressure on Israel by joining institutions and organizations like the International Criminal Court at The Hague and others.?One senior PLO official, Ahmed Majdalani, told the Palestinian Ma'an news agency on Sunday that the central committee would discuss the above-mentioned resolutions in its coming session. After voting on the decisions, the Palestinians are expected to announce the annulment of all agreements signed between the PLO and Israel, and to declare a new relationship with the Jewish state. Majdalani added that an announcement has already been drafted by the preparatory committee of the Palestinian National Council.?The Oslo Accords, as well as the agreement signed in Sharm el Sheikh in 1994, are expected to be canceled. Also set to be annulled are an economic agreement signed in Paris and several pacts on security cooperation between the Palestinian Authority and Israel.?At this stage, it is still not yet clear what the actual implications of such a decision will be. It will reportedly be accompanied by an announcement by Abbas at the United Nations General Assembly session at the end of the month, where he is expected to say that in light of the annulment of the agreements, Palestine will be considered a state under occupation.Israel unfazed by PA threat to end Oslo accords, declare Palestine occupied state - By Raphael Ahren - Authority always warning it will 'jump off a cliff,' says official, accusing Abbas of engaging in 'brinkmanship' while refusing to negotiate?Israel is unimpressed by reports about the Palestinians reportedly threatening radical unilateral moves at the United Nations, a senior Israeli official said Monday, accusing the Palestinian Authority of "brinkmanship" while reiterating Jerusalem's willingness to immediately resume bilateral peace negotiations. ?"We view these threats with a certain amount of skepticism," the official told The Times of Israel, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the matter with the press. "The Palestinians routinely negotiate through brinkmanship. If they don't get what they demand, they threaten to jump off the cliff."?The Palestinian leadership has threatened to resign, to dismantle the PA and even to dissolve the Oslo Accords several times over the last few months, the official added.?New reports indicate that PA President Mahmoud Abbas is planning to make a drastic announcement at the United Nations General Assembly this month, declaring Palestine a state under occupation and dissolving the Oslo Accords and other bilateral agreements with Israel. While it remains unclear what implications such a move would entail, some warn that it could spell the end to Israeli-PA security coordination and place all responsibility for the governance of the West Bank in the hands of Israel as the occupying power.?"The prime minister is ready for the immediate resumption of peace talks without any preconditions, but the Palestinians refuse to engage," the Israeli official said. "By placing unnecessary preconditions on the talks, they make the resumption of talks impossible. Then, after preventing talks from happening, they run to international community and say no negotiations, crisis, drastic action is required. But it's a charade."?The only reason for the absence of meaningful negotiations is the Palestinians' refusal to negotiate, the official added. "It's time the international community refused to accept this charade and told the Palestinians that it's time to return to talks with Israel. It's the only way to move forward."?Israeli officials on Monday refused to comment on the record about the Palestinians' possible démarche at the UN. In private conversations, they deemed it a toothless "provocation," but acknowledged that they were nevertheless concerned, because no one really knows what exactly Ramallah is up to and how Jerusalem will react.?While generally considered an unlikely scenario, the Palestinians' annulment of the Oslo Accords could have serious implications, as they regulate security and economic cooperation between Israel and the PA.?On the other hand, the threat to declare Palestine "a state under occupation" appears less threatening, as it might have no concrete implications.?"It's an empty statement," said Alan Baker, a retired Israeli diplomat and former legal adviser to the Foreign Ministry. "I don't think it has any significance whatsoever. Nothing Abbas says, no declaration he makes at the UN, will change anything on the ground."?The only thing it would achieve, Baker said, is to invalidate his status as president of the PA, as well as the legitimacy of the Palestinian parliament and courts. "It would also open up the opportunity for Israel to do whatever it deems necessary to protect its security and political interest, and could even cause possible termination of security and economic cooperation and other measures that are intended for the benefit of the Palestinian people."?Is it even possible for Palestine to become a "state under occupation"? In his speech in New York later this month, Abbas will point to the General Assembly's 2012 decision to accept "Palestine" as a non-member observer state and argue that Israel refuses to end the occupation of his state.?However, some argue that only existing states can be considered occupied, such as France during World War II or, more recently, Ukraine's Crimea, which was occupied by Russia. But "Palestine" seeks to achieve statehood while under occupation, a situation without historical precedent. A state can only become "occupied" if parts or all of the territory it controlled is in effective control of another power, some legal scholars argue. That would not be the case here.?The Palestinians, however, are likely to argue that a sovereign "Palestine" existed before the 1967 Six Day War, when Israeli captured the West Bank and Gaza Strip, even though that appears to be a difficult position to defend among international law scholars.?Nearing Midnight: Month of Destiny Conclusion - Terry James - about September 13 and thereafter there will likely come upon the United States and upon the world some kind of direct Judgment for anti-God activities that take mankind ever farther from the Creator. This, I infer, is the belief of many within biblical prophecy circles, based upon the articles I've read and upon the tremendous number of emails I've received. ?I've been asked dozens of times over the past few months my opinion on what will come of such things as this being the Shemitah year, in consideration of all the coalescing signals that something dramatic will happen beginning September of 2015. Some of those things are included in the following partial list. My thanks to my good friend Daymond Duck for his article outlining these.[1] ?* Sept. 13: The end of the Sabbatical year (at sundown on Sept. 13) and the date that a highly respected ultra-Orthodox Jewish Rabbi named Chaim Kanievsky says Israel 's Messiah will arrive.?* Sept. 13: The Shemitah year (also called a Sabbath year, or a Sabbatical year, or the seventh year of the agricultural cycle) ends at sundown on Sept. 13. It is associated with financial issues; debt forgiveness; economic problems, etc. Author Jonathan Cahn submits that the cycles suggest possible problems for this time frame. In recent history, past national and global economic sharp downturns have occurred as part of these cycles. ?* Sept.13-15: Rosh Hashanah (also called the Jewish New Year or the Feast of Trumpets) begins at sundown on Sept. 13 and ends at sundown on Sept. 15. Some (not all) prophecy teachers believe the Rapture could occur at the end of Rosh Hashanah this year or next year or some year.?* Sept.15: The purported military drill called Joint Assistance for Development and Execution (JADE) Homeland Eradication of Local Militants (HELM) is supposed to end. (Some believe this is possibly an exercise for martial law in case of civil anarchy.) ?* Sept.15: The seventieth UN General Assembly will begin meeting. Sometime while these meetings are taking place, France is expected to present a resolution to the UN Security Council to divide the Promised Land (two-state solution) and to force a peace treaty on Israel and the PA. ?* Sept. 22-23: Yom Kippur (also called the Day of Atonement or the Feast of Atonement) begins at sundown on Sept. 22. This will mark the beginning of the next year of Jubilee (the fiftieth year). In Jewish calendar terms, this time, among other things, is to require a renewed focus on things of God. ?* Sept. 28: The Feast of Tabernacles and the fourth blood moon in the current Tetrad will take place on this date. Several major prophetic events have happened just before or just after other blood moon Tetrads. The Jewish Talmud (not the Bible) says blood moons are a sign of war in Israel . Several major end-of-the-age wars are mentioned in the Bible and some prophecy teachers believe some or all of these could soon occur. ?Those who have written articles on these matters express in most cases the Supreme Court's backing of same-sex marriage and other recent decisions that take America farther away from God's influence as being primary in their thinking on why judgment is about to fall and why September of this year is when it is likely to begin. These articles, among other means of delivering the ominous forewarnings, have prompted many emailers to write. ?One writes, in part: ?In lieu of the many dire warnings about this Sept/Oct period, Shemitah, blood moons, economic collapse, etc. do you think the Rapture will precede the NWO being established or we will be whisked away before full implementation?... There is so much misinterpretation, fear porn and outright deceit being bandied about, I wondered if you had a chronology in mind other than an imminent Rapture? It's been imminent now for decades. ?Another writes, in part: ?As I'm sure you know the internet is ablaze with all the September dates and happenings that seem to be pointing towards some form of major event. At the UN we have the forging of a two state solution and the Pope's speech. Movies that have for years been pointing towards some type of calamity (mainly in NYC) slated for 9/23/15 and of course CERN restarting on the 23rd of September with the design of opening a portal to another dimension. Before knowing much about the above I scheduled a business trip to New York City (that would be very costly for me to reschedule) for the week of September 21 thru 25...the last item above (CERN) probably scares me the most...but overall do you put much stock in the culmination of all these September events (including the super Shemitah)? ?Yet another expresses his thoughts about the worry over the month of September 2015: ?"Unfortunately it seems that lately I have read a number of news articles that were posted on RR and written by folks who seem to be Christian but seem to have no idea of the concept of the Rapture. They bellow on and on about how bad things are now or will be soon yet they can't offer any hope, much less mention THE BLESSED HOPE of the Rapture." ?My thoughts are just that...my thoughts. They are based upon observation of these troubled times, after prayer, and under the light and template of God's prophetic Word. I haven't received special words of knowledge or dreams--that is, extrabiblical revelations-- as, apparently, have some recipients of such privileged communication whose emails I've found in my Inbox from time to time. ?However, I continue to maintain that the (medically documented) clinical death I suffered Good Friday of 2011 brought me face to face with a cheering throng of young, heavenly beings (the Hebrews 12: 1-3 cloud of witnesses who validated the general tenets of my thoughts on eschatological matters yet future as partially expressed below). The series I wrote on all of this--several months before my medical crisis-- was "Scanning a Fearful Future" for a series of ten articles. ?Here, then, are some of my thoughts on what I give the title "Month of Destiny": ?While many things of Jewish holy day activities punctuate this September, and numerous events geopolitical and even that involving astrophysical are scheduled beginning around the middle of the month, I cannot help but being drawn back to my earlier thought. "Circumstance does not control god; God Controls circumstance." Every anticipated event of catastrophic nature in these times so near the end of the Church Age (Age of Grace) has failed to happen. It is as if there is a supernatural force preventing what should be beyond any doubt a natural outcome of impending circumstance. For one example, the financial bubble continues to build on a worldwide basis. The financial powers that be have thrown trillions of dollars at the problems but admitted just the other day that it has all failed to fix anything, rather probably has exacerbated the economic woes at every fiscal level. ?Stock-market fluctuations and other financial uncertainties of very recent days punctuate the effects of these manipulations. ?For other examples, tensions have built in the Middle East to the point that we are now at as explosive a time as any in history. The Islamist fanatics are raging throughout the region--and throughout much of Europe to a growing extent. Iran--ancient Persia--threatens God's chosen nation, Israel, with extinction every day through the words of its Supreme Leader and mullahs. This they promise when they get the ability to carry out such action. They are about to be handed that capability. ?Yet Israel remains calm and reserved in its response, even though its once-staunch American ally seems to be turning against the Jewish state. ?Russia threatens Ukraine and NATO, as well as the U.S., almost like in the good ol' Soviet days. China, melting down economically, is threatening its Asian neighbors--and the rest of us through cyber attacks and military build-up. ?Despite all of the above, the world wags on. It is basically business as usual. ?There has been no cataclysmic bursting of the dam of circumstance--as there should have been by now. All agree, however, that this status quo can't go on. Something has to give and there will be tremendous global impact when it happens--whatsoever happens. ?This month of September looks to be the beginning of what could be a year when the status quo bubble could burst, according to all circumstances and to most Bible prophecy observers of the pre-mil/pre-trib viewpoint. However, I'm convinced we are at the time unlike any other in history. The time for God's corrective action, I believe, is over for this dispensation. It is His judgment and wrath that are about to be unleashed upon a rebellious world--and an unrepentant America. ?What the world faces next is not God's corrective action, such as when, I'm convinced, the Lord allowed the Dust Bowl and Great Depression of the 1930s as a disciplining measure following the time of the Roaring Twenties. Next will come His judgment and wrath. ?Jesus said that times will be business as usual when He next Intervenes catastrophically into the affairs of mankind. It will be just like it was in Noah's pre-Flood days and in Lot's days in Sodom. The very day God took those men and their families to safety, God's judgment fell. Again, Jesus said judgment fell that very day! (Read again Matthew 24: 36-42 and Luke 17: 26-30.) ?Most of the world--as I wrote earlier, even the majority of the born again--is oblivious to impending judgment. Again, the Lord said that His coming will be as a snare to the whole world. It will be a complete surprise. He said it would be at a "think not" time (Matthew 24:44). ?If there were an economic cataclysm or a war of catastrophic proportion, the world would not be in that "think not" configuration. It would take years, perhaps decades, for things to get back into the world's current configuration if such disasters occurred. ?Nonetheless, most who don't have their heads in the proverbial sand agree that the world cannot wag on as it is. It is about to implode or explode, depending upon one's view of the coming eruption. I agree with that assessment. ?My own thought is that if there is to be global financial meltdown this month, or any other month in the relatively near future, or if there is to be world-shaking warfare this year, next, or near future, it will be the Rapture, not man's folly, that will initiate the age-ending cataclysm. ?God, Himself, is holding back world-rending circumstance, I'm of the opinion. He is not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. We should be working in His service as never before to lift Christ so that many will be drawn to Him for salvation. ?Jesus said that moment of His suddenly breaking in on an unexpecting world will come at a time "ye think not" (Matthew 24: 44). I doubt that September 13, 15, 23, or any of those dates are necessarily the time this impending Intervention will occur. Jesus told us to "watch" (Mark 13: 37). It could happen right this moment while you are reading this commentary! ?--Terry ?[1] Daymond Duck, September 2015, Newest Articles, ?NOW SHIPPING!!!?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 believer needs to watch this video and share it with their unsaved friends, and family members. This video explains why the Rapture is the Blessed Hope of every believer and how this event is different from the Second Coming. It also explains what a person is to do if they miss the Rapture, and the events of the Tribulation, the Antichrist and the Mark of the Beast. It is an excellent witnessing tool that will prayerfully keep many from missing the Rapture, at the same time it's also, a valuable guide for those Left Behind. ??To Order your copy of "The Rapture and the Thief in the Night" - please visit our store using the following link:?VISIT STORE???If you chose to mail in your gift of support or your order, please mail it to:?Prophecy UpdatePO Box 40516Bakersfield, CA 93384?CONVERGENCE - of the End Time Signs - DVDIs Now Shipping!!!?Now, also available on USB?Flash-drive?or as a Digital Download???CONVERGENCE Reviews:?Randy,?

It's jammed packed full of stunningly vivid images and Hi-Def clips, that thoroughly show that we are in the end of the End Times, right before the Rapture and the?Tribulation.??100 % Worded?This DVD is 100% worded for the hearing impaired. 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. Today's generation does not read books as much as us old school people. But, hand them a DVD, and they are more than?likely?to watch it.??Timely?The CONVERGENCE DVD could not be more?timely!

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. There is enough scripture and warnings of what is coming to cause, anyone, who has put off accepting the Lord's salvation through Jesus to repent now!" - Don Mills - Director of Programming - CSN Radio - Twin Falls, ID??Brother Randy, to say it was a great movie documentary is an understatement. Thank you for doing the Lord's work. This movie gave me the chills. - Terrance Alan - Kaukauna, WI??Thanks so much for the DVD There will be Tribulation...I watched it the other day, finally.?? It is well done and really holds your attention. In fact, it's unrelenting...which of course is what it needs to be. - Rich and JoAnne - Temecula, CA??VISIT OUR STORE BY CLICKING HERE???From This Point Forward, Christians Are Going To Be Banned From Holding Many Jobs In America - By Michael Snyder - is being criminalized in the United States.? No, I am not talking about the kind of Christianity that is so prevalent in America today where "Christians" just ignore what the Bible says and do whatever they wanted to do in the first place anyway.? Rather, I am talking about the kind of faith that Kim Davis has demonstrated.? Christians all over this country are being put into positions where they must choose to either submit to the "new morality" or potentially lose their jobs.? For Kim Davis, deciding to take a stand meant that she was thrown into prison.? The radical judge that threw her into prison has said that she will stay there until she is willing to change her mind.?The pace of which our nation is circling the toilet is absolutely breathtaking.? Just eleven years ago, a state constitutional amendment that banned gay marriage in Kentucky received support from 75 percent of the voters.?Now, Kim Davis has been locked away, and more county clerks may be next.? There is news that another county clerk named Casey Davis has stepped forward to say that he won't issue any same sex marriage licenses either.?What in the world has happened to America?? We live in a country where Christians are being imprisoned for what they believe, but Planned Parenthood is free to slaughter babies, chop them up, and sell off their parts to the highest bidder.?We better start paying attention.? What is happening right in front of our eyes is eerily reminiscent of what happened in Nazi Germany...?Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis entered her fourth day as an inmate at the Carter County Detention Center Sunday, after refusing to license gay marriage. About 300 people gathered on the lawn outside the jail to support her Saturday, chanting "thank you, Kim" and waving signs that said "Kim Davis for President" and "God gives his hardest battles to his strongest soldiers."?Davis was held in contempt of court and jailed on Thursday for refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, despite being ordered to do so several times by the courts.?Mathew Staver, Davis's chief legal counsel, compared her persecution to that of Jews faced in Nazi Germany. Staver told the radio show "Crosstalk" Wednesday, "[Davis is] there to do a duty, a job and the job duty was changed. Does that mean that if you're Christian, don't apply here? ... What happened in Nazi Germany, what happened there first, they removed the Jews from government public employment, then they stopped patronizing them in their private businesses, then they continued to stigmatize them, then they were the 'problems,' then they killed them."?In the future, Bible-believing Christians are going to be completely disqualified from being county clerks or holding any other government position that deals with marriage.?But it won't stop there.? Ultimately, any Christians that will not go along with the new morality will be labeled a "bigot" and a "hater" and will essentially become unemployable.?If you don't believe me, just consider what happened to the CEO of Mozilla.? He was extremely good at his job, but he was forced out when it was revealed that he had once donated $1,000 to a group that supported Proposition 8.? It didn't matter that 52 percent of Californians actually voted in favor of Proposition 8.? He broke "the code", and so he was not fit to run a major tech corporation.?By extension, that means that no Bible-believing Christian is fit to run a major tech corporation.?And if you are a Christian, don't think about a career as a high ranking military official either.? According to a startling Buzzfeed report, Barack Obama actually told the top military officers in this nation that they could either support the end of Don't Ask, Don't Tell or they could resign...??In a meeting with the heads of the five service branches in 2010, President Obama offered the leaders a choice: Support my efforts to end the military's Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy, or resign, the Commandant of the Coast Guard said.?In a video obtained by BuzzFeed via a Freedom of Information Act request, Coast Guard Commandant Adm. Robert Papp revealed that Obama was unwilling to compromise with service leaders over DADT during a meeting in 2010. "We were called into the Oval Office and President Obama looked all five service chiefs in the eye and said, 'This is what I want to do.' I cannot divulge everything he said to us, that's private communications within the Oval Office, but if we didn't agree with it - if any of us didn't agree with it - we all had the opportunity to resign our commissions and go do other things," he said.?Are you starting to get the picture??It is becoming unacceptable to be a Bible-believing Christian in America, and it is only going to get worse in the years ahead.? The following is what Carl Gallups, the author of "Be Thou Prepared", had to say about this in a recent piece for WND...?The imprisonment of Kim Davis won't be the end of the insanity infecting America. We have been given over to a depraved mind, and the travesty inflicted upon this brave believer is unprecedented in American history as far as I know. I do not believe that anyone, public official or private citizen, has ever been jailed simply because of his or her firmly held faith-belief that marriage is between a man and a woman and not between two men or two women.?This is how it starts.? In television shows and movies, Bible-believing Christians are being relentlessly mocked.? Laws are being passed that are slowly marginalizing believers and that are trying to force us to accept things that we simply cannot accept.? And even now, many employers will not even think of hiring you if they discover that you are a committed follower of Jesus Christ.?And just like in Nazi Germany, eventually the persecution becomes more overt and more violent.? On Saturday, a non-denominational church in New York was firebombed...??Police in New York are investigating after a firebomb was thrown inside of a door at a non-denominational church on Saturday.?The incident occurred early Saturday morning at approximately 5:30 a.m. as a yet unidentified suspect threw a Molotov cocktail threw a glass door at the Chapel at Crosspoint in Getzville. The explosive then started a fire in the vestibule, which set off the sprinkler system and flooded the entryway.?The Getzville Fire Department and the Amherst Police Department responded to the four-alarm incident, according to assistant Police Chief Charles Cohen.?The culture is turning radically against us, and what we have seen so far is just the beginning.?So are you willing to give up your job, your future and potentially even your freedom for your faith?The Terrifying Tentacles of One World Governance - Dr. Ileana Johnson Paugh - late Henry Lamb and Tom DeWeese have been working tirelessly for decades to unravel the thorny and terrifying tentacles of U.N.'s Agenda 21, a soft law signed in 1992 by 178 countries. But the idea of a one world government/order has been around since the turn of the 20th century. It suffices to look at the back of a dollar bill to see the evidence. Featured prominently under the Masonic Pyramid are the Latin words, Novus Ordo Seclorum, the New World Order.?In 1891 Cecil Rhodes, of the Rhodes Scholarship fame, turned his dream, that the entire world should be governed by the British Empire, into the Society of the Elect (The Secret Society), the planting of the global governance seed. When they bought a place to headquarter his organization, it became the Chatham House Gang.?Across the ocean, Col. Edward Mandell House, Woodrow Wilson's advisor and chief negotiator of the Treaty of Versailles, formed a group of like-minded fellows who called themselves The Inquiry. This group met with the Chatham House Gang in order to establish their two groups into a common effort and goal of globalization. The Chatham House Gang became the Royal Institute for International Affairs and The Inquiry became the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR).?Two weeks after Pearl Harbor, Roosevelt issued a "Declaration of United Nations, the first time such term was used in an official document. According to Curtis B. Dall, his son-in-law, "... most of his [Roosevelt's] thoughts, his political ammunition... was carefully manufactured for him in advance by the CFR-One World money group."?Special: New Probiotic Fat Burner Takes GNC by Storm?A series of rather transparent and "progressive" events solidified the path to U.N.'s Agenda 21 and one-world governance:?*In 1961 U.S. introduced a program calling for all nations to transfer their military power to the United Nations.*In 1972 the U.N. Conference on the Environment took place in Stockholm, Sweden when the Canadian Maurice Strong became the Director of the newly created U.N. Environment Program.*In 1976 the Conference on Human Settlements in Vancouver, British Columbia, created "the first steps toward global governance" with 65 pages on land use in which they declared that "Public control of land use is indispensable." The recommendations that appeared in this conference's report are implemented in the U.S. and around the world as Sustainable Development (the lynchpin of U.N. Agenda 21, sustainable communities, and smart/green growth, as mandated by comprehensive land use plans).*At the World Commission on the Environment in 1983, Gro Harlem Brundtland, Vice Chair of the World Socialist Party, introduced the term and the definition of Sustainable Development-"Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs." The concept and the definition sound innocuous enough until you start wondering, what are the needs of the present and future generations and who decides them and what is ability? It seemed like collectivism to me.*In 1992 the U.N. Conference on Environment and Development attended in Rio, Brazil by the largest crowd in history, 10,000 delegates and 30,000 NGOs, released three documents:1.U.N. Agenda 21 (a soft law, not a treaty)2.The Convention on Biological Diversity (a treaty)3.The Framework Convention on Climate Change (a treaty)?U.S. President George H. W. Bush signed two documents but refused to sign the Convention on Biological Diversity based on proprietary concerns of transfer of technology. All three documents were signed by the remaining 177 participating countries.?Henry Lamb wrote in 2010 that "Government control of land use is a fundamental principle of global governance." The 40-chapter U.N. Agenda 21 document, although never ratified by Congress, limits the behavior and freedoms of individuals and firms, involving every facet of human life. It makes suggestions and recommendations that are adapted into law at the state and local levels through comprehensive land use plans which are voted on and included by the board of supervisors into local zoning codes.?Citizens do not understand U.N. Agenda 21's damaging ramifications to their private property, to their ability to make a living, to use their land, grow food in their gardens, sell their fresh produce freely, engage in agriculture, sell their land, and pass it on to future generations. Local land owners do not have the opportunity to provide their input into the decision-making process; they are at the mercy of "visioning committees" and the board of supervisors, often plants or paid subscribers to the one world government idea.?A video dated October 2, 1992 and taken from C-SPAN archives shows discussion on the House floor about Agenda 21 in which both Democrats and Republicans are in favor of conforming fully to the recommendations of U.N. Agenda 21 document in spite of the fact that it was not ratified by Congress and they took an oath to defend the U.S. Constitution and sovereignty of our country. A younger Nancy Pelosi introduced a bill to follow the 1992 Rio Earth Summit to conform to U.N.'s Agenda 21, its local sustainable community practices, and to follow international law.?Stated goals of U.N.'s Agenda 21?*Population redistribution according to resources (social engineering is taking place now through the flooding of immigrants from third world countries into the western world under the guise of refugee status and diversity)*Equitable distribution of resources by government control of land use (taking place under the aegis of many bureaus such as EPA, Bureau of Land Management, Wildlife and Fisheries, Park Service)*Zoning and planning controlling land use*Public land ownership controlling urban and rural land*Population control (massive abortions via government funded clinics that sell the aborted baby body parts and dwindling births in the developed world)*Government "Regionalist authorities" hold developing rights*Mega-cities with mixed-use, high rise, stack-and-pack miniature apartments with no parking but five-minute walk from work, school, shopping, and entertainment*Mass transit and removing people from their cars by making expensive toll roads, narrower roads, taking roads out of commission and making them into pedestrian zones only*Redraw neighborhoods to make them more diverse as dictated by HUD and insert illegal immigrants into middle class neighborhoods*Shaming people into owning land by calling it social injustice; Seattle is drafting rules that will ban single-family zoning; Seattle Mayor Ed Murray said, "We can still be a city for everyone, but only if we give up our outdated ideal of every family living in their own home on a 5,000 square foot lot"*Plans to manipulate human populations in rural areas?The one world governance will control and dictate:?*Energy production, delivery, distribution, and consumption via Smart Grid, Smart Meters, and Renewables (wind and solar)*Food growth and production via FDA regulations*Education via a curriculum centered on Mother Earth, global communism, and global citizenship (Common Core, International Baccalaureate)*Water through irrigation denial to save a tiny fish, forced reduction in home use, recreation activities, destruction of dams and reservoirs*Population control to "manageable levels" through sterilization, eugenics (who decides and how?)*No borders, no sovereignty*No national language and culture, a multi-cultural hodge-podge*No Christian faith*Longer distance travel through light rail use for the masses while elite continue to fly and lecture the rest of us about limiting our carbon foot-print*Mobility restrictions*Homestead in high rise apartments in order to designate formerly private land wildlife habitat?Christina Figueres, the Executive Secretary of the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change delivered a speech to the World Affairs Council of Northern California, touting that the "world has reinvented itself" and in order to be prosperous and efficient, we must live in Mega cities.?She said, "In order to address climate change is to build a complex framework the purpose of which is to facilitate and accelerate the actions at all different levels of government."?Business Insider wrote about the plan floating at Davos 2015 to spend $90 trillion to redesign all cities so that people no longer need cars. Coffin-sized living quarters will be stacked by the millions in these Mega cities while the residents attempt to grow food on roofs and terraces and capture rain for all their daily needs. Figueres said, "you will enjoy unlimited interaction and global cooperation," while buildings will capture as much water needed."?She listed the benefits of living in such Mega cities as avoiding the catastrophic rise in temperatures (even though the Polar Vortex dumped record amounts of snow and froze half the globe, even Cairo got snow last year), increased food security (from growing food on rooftops and terraces? The world's grain storage can only last for two days in case of an world-wide catastrophe), increased energy security (from solar panels on the roof and windmills on the roof?), increased water security (from collecting rainwater?), transportation security using electric cars with charge stations (where is the electricity coming from to charge the said cars? Fossil fuels?), low carbon model that contributes to job creation, job security, and happiness (where are all the much-touted green jobs?), and safeguard natural resources for future generations (what future generations, before or after mass starvation?).?In this new world, we will have driverless cars while we are free to shop on iPad, black boxes will be in every car, and humans won't have to do anything, just be compliant and drone-like, memorizing and regurgitating their education via a global U.N.-approved environmentalist curriculum.?In Mega Cities Figueres sees a "transformed world, each building would produce all electricity that it needs, capture water as needed, produce food on the roof and the terrace."?Meanwhile most human activity that defines our western civilization would be deemed unsustainable: private property, suburban living, fossil fuels, consumerism, farming, irrigation, commercial agriculture, logging, pesticide use, herbicide use, grazing of livestock, paved roads, golf courses, ski lodges, dams, reservoirs, fences, power lines, and the family unit.?Henry Lamb told us that UNESCO, another tentacle of the United Nations, had taught seminars to teachers and disseminated curriculum materials that promoted the idea that nationalism was bad and had to be replaced with global citizenship. The textbooks of the International Baccalaureate plant the seeds of prejudice against national pride and support the idea that global citizenship and one world governance are viable solutions to the future of a socially, racially, and economically unjust planet.?The U.N. has developed an environmental constitution for the world called the Draft International Covenant on Environment and Development (DICED). The September 22, 2010 version has 79 articles described in great detail in 242 pages. It takes Sustainable Development principles described in U.N. Agenda 21 and transforms them into global law which supersedes all constitutions, including the U.S. Constitution. All signatory nations would become centrally planned, socialist countries in which all decisions would be made within the framework of Sustainable Development.?Having the Holy Father, Pope Francis, involved in the climate change industry gives the one world government total control and a very powerful facade, particularly when His Holiness will address Congress in a very unprecedented move for the clergy to get involved in global politics and the U.S. and global economy instead of ministering to the souls of Catholics around the world. Theologian Leonardo Boff is quick to point out the "Similarities between the Encyclical Laudato Si, 'On Care for our Common Home,' and the Earth Charter, 'Earth, Our Home.'?And if you fail to go along with the Agenda 21 program and all the other auxiliary programs that keep springing up like wild mushrooms, i.e. replacing parents with "full-service community schools," Maryland's No Child Left Inside Act, walkability, the Blue Zones Project will nudge you into better health and wellbeing. As their website says, "We implement long-term, evidence-backed policies and interventions that optimize environments within communities, nudging people towards healthier choices throughout the day."?And your socially-engineered and indoctrinated kids will be dancing and singing in school praises to the Blue Zone Project. Is it Orwellian enough for you yet?Surely it Is Near - By Daymond Duck - are no words to describe how bad the Tribulation period is going to be; one-fourth of earth's population will die (Rev. 6:7-8); one-third of those who are left will die (Rev. 9:13-21). Satan will be cast down to this earth, having great wrath because his time is short (Rev. 12:12), and more.?It will be a time of trouble such as the world has never seen and there will never be anything like it again (Dan. 12:1; Matt. 24:21). No one would survive except for the fact that God has limited the Tribulation period to seven years (Dan. 9:27; Matt. 24:22).?Even though multitudes will die, good comes to those who love God (Rom. 8:28) and a great number, greater than anyone can count will be saved. These new believers will stand before the throne of God in heaven praising Him and His Lamb Jesus (Rev. 7:9-10). Heaven will be filled with rejoicing, shouting and worship (Rev. 7:11-12).?But sin will still be rampaging on earth and despite the fact that God will provide 144,000 Jews to evangelize the world (and despite the fact that billions have died), multitudes will still refuse to repent of their sins (Rev. 7:4-8; 9:20). ?And the Holy Spirit identified the main sins that they will commit: devil worship, idolatry, murder, sorcery (the Greek word is pharmakeion or drugs and most can be legally purchased at pharmacies), fornication and theft.?Concerning devil worship, many Christians are shocked because a New York group called the Satanic Temple has been allowed to erect a statue of Satan (Baphomet) in Detroit, MI; they have tried to erect one in Oklahoma City, OK (this may be on hold); they are holding "Friends of Satan" forums, etc. ?But an increase in Satan worship is just one more sign of where the world is on God's prophetic clock. Multitudes are going to make it their religion of choice (Rev. 13:4).?Concerning idolatry, worshipping idols and images has been a great sin throughout history (in Israel during Old Testament Times, in ancient Greece, in the Roman Empire, in the Roman Catholic Church, in other religions, etc.).?But worshipping idols should be expected if humanity is approaching the Tribulation period because all of the lost will worship the image of Antichrist during that awful time (Rev. 13:15-18).?Concerning murders, many Christians are shocked because approximately 25 law enforcement officials have been murdered in the first eight months of 2015, Planned Parenthood has become a slaughterhouse that butchers babies and sells their body parts and children have been shot at schools (Columbine, VA Tech, etc.).?We are shocked because so many people are being killed in Chicago, Baltimore and other cities; shocked because Christians have been shot in church (the South Carolina church, etc), and because of the on-air WDBJ-TV shootings, etc. But this societal degeneration should be recognized as another important indicator of the coming Tribulation period.?And just this past week, Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis, whom U.S. District Court Judge David Bunning placed in the custody of U.S. Marshals who took her to Carter County jail for contempt of court; for refusing to uphold a court order to issue marriage licenses to gay couples due to her faith as an Apostolic Christian.?Concerning sorcery (drugs), marijuana has been legalized in two states and there is a good chance that it will soon be legalized in several other states. There are federal laws that forbid this. But the U.S. Department of Justice has decided not to enforce those laws.? ?America is groaning under the curse of sin and big part of the problem is people who ignore sin and refuse to prosecute it (Gen. 3:17; Rom. 8:20-22).?Concerning fornication, many Christians were stunned for days when the U.S. Supreme Court ignored the Word of God and legalized gay marriage. Many marriages broke up when husbands and wives learned that their spouse is on the Ashley Madison cheat list.?Many pastors, Sunday school teachers, deacons and others were forced to resign when their name appeared on the list. These things show that society is rapidly descending toward the fornication of the prophesied Tribulation period society.?Concerning theft, viewers were shocked when the Director of Community Relations at the University of Wisconsin-Madison suggested that police should stop prosecuting people who shoplift from Wal-Mart and Target.?And as if that isn't bizarre enough, two professors called for the police to stop patrolling certain areas of the city. Light is being exchanged for darkness.?The bottom line is that there is a strikingly unusual uptick in sin and it has a strange resemblance to Tribulation period events.? Surely the Rapture is near and there is no reason for God's people to despair because Jesus is preparing new homes for His people.?"Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.? ?And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. And where I go you know, and the way you know" (John 14:1-4).?Prophecy Plus MinistriesDaymond & Rachel Duck?daymond.duck@ Daily Devotion: From Head to Foot - Greg Laurie - ?But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts. -Romans 13:14?When we put on our clothes, we expect them to do what we do and to go where we go. But do you ever see people who, instead of wearing an outfit, the outfit is wearing them? We don't want clothes like that. We need practical clothes.?The Bible tells us "to put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts" (Romans 13:14). I like how the J. B. Phillips New Testament puts it: "Let us be Christ's men from head to foot, and give no chances to the flesh to have its fling."?Putting on the Lord Jesus Christ is making Him a part of everything we do. It means that He goes with us where we go. He is not just Sunday Jesus; He is also Monday Jesus, Tuesday Jesus, Wednesday Jesus, and Thursday, Friday, and Saturday Jesus.?It's a practical, day-by-day, repeated process of putting on Christ. We embrace Him again and again. It means that He is Lord every day of our lives. Yes, He is Lord when we go to church. But He is also Lord when we go out to dinner, when we go to the movies, and when we go to work. He is Lord of our decision-making processes. And if He is not Lord of all, then He is not Lord at all.?A good thing to ask ourselves periodically is, "Would I be embarrassed or ashamed to be in this place that I'm about to go or to do this thing that I'm about to do if Jesus were to come back?" If the answer is yes, then don't do it.?Put on the Lord Jesus Christ-that is what we need to focus on. Let's focus our energies on becoming like Jesus.?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.

America is in more danger of falling than at any time in its history. But I believe Bible prophecy predicts this very decline. From this point on, we believers have to get serious. We are going to face discouragement, disillusionment and, most certainly, persecution in the time between now and the Rapture. But don't be discouraged or disillusioned. The coming turmoil will provide us unrivaled opportunities to share the good news of the Gospel. So be ready to share your faith and your hope with those who need Christ.
