It seems as if whole populations are on the move. Most are fleeing from the horrors of war and the terrors of ISIS, desperate to get into mainland Europe. This is a crisis Europe has not seen on this scale, since World War II. Half of all Syrians have been displaced by the fighting that is currently raging there.? ??This would be the same as 160 million Americans being made homeless today. More than a quarter of a million have been killed, almost ten times that number wounded or seriously injured. They are fleeing for their lives. Already, many hundreds of thousands of refugees have gained access to Europe through countries like Italy in the Mediterranean.? ??How can anybody question the veracity of the Bible and the prophecy contained within it? What the world is witnessing every single day is a direct fulfillment of the words of Jesus Christ Himself, "Nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom..." (Matthew 24:7). When Jesus spoke of "...kingdom rising against kingdom," the literal translation of its original meaning is "ethnic group against ethnic group."? ??Today, we witness one Middle Eastern ethnic group after another rising up and slaughtering other ethnic groups, oftentimes entirely indiscriminately. The entire Arab spring has been kingdom against kingdom, ethnic group against ethnic group.??In the near future millions of Middle Eastern people will seek access to Europe. Watching these scenes is reminiscent of the Holocaust; harassed masses huddled together, desperate to find safety, weary families traumatized and desperate; for somebody, anybody to show them mercy.??This crisis, if it continues will no doubt have significant demographic consequences for Europe. The delicate ethnic balance of Europe is going to be radically altered over a very short space of time.? ??This European refugee crisis has occurred because the West, led by America and Britain have destroyed all the traditional power structures in Iraq and Libya, leaving a huge vacuum of power behind them. Into this vacuum have flooded the demonic horde we now know as ISIS, bringing an evil the likes of which the world has not seen for millennia.? ??Using Iraq and Libya as a springboard, ISIS have now successfully taken over vast amounts of Syria and fundamentally destabilized the regime of Bashir Al-Assad, who is a client proxy of Vladimir Putin's Russia.??It is from this tyranny and the utter savagery of ISIS that these countless masses are fleeing. It is a real human tragedy with the majority of men and women genuinely terrified for the future of their loved ones and their children. They are right to fear ISIS, for their unspeakable acts of terror and carnage are now plain for all the world to see. ??Mothers and fathers are putting their young children in inflatable dinghies, attempting to cross rough, open seas when their chances of survival are minimal for only one reason; they believe the water is safer than the land.??Human tragedy aside though, there is an ominous biblical implication to this mass migration. A plethora of credible sources are reporting that another state actor, other than ISIS, is also filling this power vacuum left in Syria; Russia.??In ISIS controlled Syrian territory, all traditional power structures have been removed and entire swathes of indigenous populations have fled, leaving the battlefield completely open. Russia has found it a simple task to occupy this land.??Credible reports are even now reporting that Russia is actually building military air bases deep inside Syria, so that they can extend their reach over the country and then further afield into the Middle East. This is much to Washington's paralyzed angst. John Kerry has spoken on this issue; Vladimir Putin has completely ignored him.??They are terrible and feared, but ISIS is simply no match for the Russian military. In a standing fight, ISIS will lose every time. It is one thing for ISIS to bring terror and defeat to civilians who are already oppressed, exhausted and defeated. It will be quite another prospect for them to take on the might of a genuinely feared and respected military machine staffed by men who are well trained, well-equipped and most important-well motivated.? ??Let us also not forget that the Russian military as a result of the wars they fought in Chechnya, are vastly experienced in confronting and fighting radical Islam on the battlefield. They know what tactics they will face and they know how to win.??Russia will very soon be sitting right on the border of the beautiful land itself-Israel. For a long time I wondered how Russia and the horde they will lead would manage to attack Israel and take them almost completely by surprise. It seems that even the world at large will be caught off guard by this invasion,??"Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?" (Ezekiel 38:13).??How could they possibly take Israel by surprise? In order to do this they would have to cross Iraq and Syria just to get to Israel, and these are big countries. There is simply no conceivable way Israel, with its huge technologically empowered military, would not see them coming and prepare accordingly for battle. The answer could be that Israel won't see them coming because Russia will already be there, right on Israel's borders.? ??ISIS's end time's role is not to bring carnage and destruction, though this is what they have left in their wake. ISIS's end time's role has been to clear the ground ahead of Gog, in preparation for Gog's invasion of Israel, and they have accomplished this task exceptionally well.??Vast swathes of land now stand undefended, ready for the Russians to come. Where once strong borders stood, they now stand desolate, laying in utter ruin. Russia doesn't have to invade Syria to get to Israel, they have been invited in by Bashir Al-Assad to defend him against ISIS. The Russian military will soon be able to stroll right up to the border of Israel, completely unmolested, and if Russia has a presence in Syria, so too will their allies Iran.??Russia has comprehensively outmaneuvered Obama in Syria from the very beginning. Just this past week Putin sent a Russian nuclear submarine with twenty Inter-Continental Ballistic Missiles and? two hundred? nuclear warheads directly to Syria, the week after John Kerry and Barack Obama demanded Russian withdrawal. Another example of Obama "... leading from behind?"? ??Nation has now risen against nation and kingdoms continues to rise against kingdoms. Gog is on the move and Israel is already in his sights. Russia is openly mobilizing in Syria. ISIS have pre-prepared the ground, regimes have fallen and borders are open and crushed. The West, stung by years of failed military intervention in the Middle East no longer have the stomach, leadership or will to intervene in any meaningful way in another foreign battlefield for fear of another quagmire.? ??Europe is being overwhelmed by a crisis of humanity arriving on its shores and Putin, shrewder than most give him credit for, has seen his opportunity to exert Russia's influence once more into this volatile and prophetically crucial region, and he has taken it.??We are on the threshold of a major prophetic event which could mark the spiritual awakening of Israel and the fullness of the Gentile Age, which shows the nearness of the Rapture of the Church.? ??wardmatt1977@ ?Syria: Russia's Motives Behind Military Build-Up - Sam Kiley - drastic increase in Russian military support for the Syrian regime could be more than just an attempt to counter rebel attacks.?US officials say they expect Russia to launch combat operations against rebels in Syria "very soon," following reports of a massive airlift of ammunition, Russian heavy armour and anti-aircraft missiles to back up the Damascus regime.?The Pentagon has now tracked 15 flights of Russian Antonov-124 "Condor" flights into Syria and has seen two more Russian ships offload military cargo - including half a dozen tanks - according to the latest intelligence, a defense official told Fox News.?Russian T-90 tanks have been seen by independent observers on the perimeter of Latakia airport on the Mediterranean coast, not far from the Russian naval base at Tartous.?Last weekend two Russian naval tank transport ships were seen docking in Tartous, and Latakia airport has been extended and re-surfaced.?The drastic increase in Russian support for the Syrian regime could be seen as an attempt to prevent it collapsing under a successful rebel onslaught by the Army of Islam, the Jaish al Islam, which is not associated with Islamic State.?But Russian-made and manned SA-22 anti-aircraft missile systems have also been sent to Syria - and neither ISIS nor the rebels have any aircraft.?This will inevitably lead to the conclusion that Russia is sending its state-of-the-art anti-aircraft technology to the battlefield to head off any attempt to establish a no-fly zone to prevent Assad from bombing his own population.?In addition to the influx of tanks and artillery, 35 armored personnel carriers have also been sent by Russia which is also building accommodation for up to 1,500 troops.?Last week Sergei Lavrov, the Russian Foreign Minister, called on the US to coordinate its operations against the so-called Islamic State as part of a "war on terror".?Washington has refused to look at the idea - the US is also backing moderate Syrian rebels and other allies, notably Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkey, are offering substantial resources to the Jaish al Islam in the battle against the Assad regime.?Assad's forces have been able to fly freely around Syria picking off targets at will while the US-led coalition has targeted only Islamic State.?The Turks have argued for some time that this is nonsensical as most of the regional instability stems from the Assad regime - and most refugees fleeing the slaughter there are running from his barrel bombs into neighboring countries and on into Europe.?It is clear the Kremlin is keen to exploit this western equivocation over Assad but can only do so if the regime itself shows that it can survive. The arrival of Russian tanks and missiles, naval infantry and artillery will heartily cheer the Assad anyahu, Putin to discuss continued Israeli air force freedom of action over Syria - spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirmed Wednesday, Sept. 16,? that Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu would pay a "short working visit and hold talks with President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Monday, Sept. 21." The announcement from the Prime Minister's Bureau in Jerusalem was somewhat more informative: "The Prime Minister will express his views on the threat to Israel as a result of the deliveries of modern weaponry to Syria due to the possibility that they could end up in the hands of Hezbollah or other terrorist organizations."??If that is to be the sole topic of their talks, debkafile's military and intelligence sources doubt the prime minister will accomplish anything much, outside of a polite exchange of views.?Putin will not remove the Russian troops and advanced weaponry which giant Antonov-24 Condors have been landing in Syria since the last week of August. These deliveries have been planned down to the last detail in coordination with Tehran - as Moscow's rejoinder for US President Barack Obama's cherished nuclear deal with Iran. Tehran has not only refrained from endorsing the accord, but has joined Moscow in a move to outmaneuver Washington in the Middle East by a major military buildup in Syria.?Putin will no doubt parrot Obama in assuring Netanyahu of Russia's abiding commitment to Israel's security. But he will not waver in his steps for strengthening Iran's foothold in Syria, any more than Obama has.?The enhancement of President Bashar Assad's military capabilities by an injection of sophisticated weapons is part and parcel of Putin's project, and a share of those arms will undoubtedly be allotted to Assad's ally, Hezbollah.?Lacking most of all is a consensus on which terrorist organizations pose the paramount threat. For Obama, it is the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant - ISIS; for Netanyahu, ISIS and Hezbollah are equally dangerous; whereas Putin lumps ISIS and other Syrian Islamist rebel groups in the same category, especially the Nusra Front, which has Russian Chechen recruits and therefore poses a direct threat to Moscow.??With Washington and Moscow at odds over which terrorist organizations should be fought first, Netanyahu is unlikely to get a serious hearing from his hosts in Moscow.?For months now, Russia and Iran have been laying the groundwork for their intensified military collaboration in Syria. Last April, Al Qods chief Gen. Qassem Soleimani visited Moscow to promote the scheme. Four months earlier, in Dec. 2014, the Kremlin's Middle East expert Mikhail Bogdanov held talks in Beirut with Hezbollah's leader Hassan Nasrallah.?All this leaves Netanyahu with a narrow corridor for making headway in Moscow.?According to our sources, he will press for the Israeli Air Force to continue to have a free hand in Syrian skies for dealing with threats. Coordination between the Israeli Air Force and the Russian Air Force command located at Jablah near the western Syrian port of Latakia, would need to be established to prevent inadvertent collisions between Russia and Israeli warplanes.?This sort of coordination has been tacitly approved between Washington and Moscow to enable the US to continue to conduct air strikes against ISIS in Syria.??But the Israeli case is more complex in view of the multiplicity of its enemies: Israel requires a free hand to strike targets in Syria of its declared foes, Iran and Hezbollah, when necessary to distance them from its borders. On this, Putin may well dig in his heels.?Another issue which may come up in their talks in six days' time is Israel's Mediterranean gas field, in which the Russian leader has expressed an interest.? Since the projected Israel-Turkish pipeline for exporting the gas to Europe will verge on the economic water zones of Lebanon and Syria, Russia is the only power realistically capable or providing it with military protection.A Shaking? What Shemitah Means for Israel, US - By Julie Stahl - Israel and the Jewish people, the High Holy Days this year mark the end of a significant seven-year cycle and a rare fourth blood moon. Some believe that combination could have a huge impact on the world.?That's why many Christians and others believe that this September could be significant in Jewish, American, and world history.?The Bible tells the Jewish people to sow the land and reap its produce for six consecutive years. Then, on the seventh year, they're commanded to let the land lie fallow.?"Shemitah means the sabbatical," Rabbi Tuly Weisz told CBN News. "There's a year of rest for the land of Israel and for people all over the world."?Israel keeps the shemitah every seven years. It ends on the 29th of the Hebrew month of Elul, which this year falls on Sunday, September 13.?Weisz says many non-Jews are also paying close attention this year.?"People from all over the world who've never heard of shemitah are all of a sudden looking and trying to explore what is the significance of shemitah because of all the global events that are happening that seem a bit unusual," he said.?Author Jonathan Cahn raised the idea of the shemitah's connection to the global economy in his book, The Mystery of the Shemitah, which warns of trouble ahead for America.?"I believe a great shaking is coming to America and the world, but America. I believe a shaking is coming that strikes the financial realm, economic realm and even be a shaking that's greater than that," Cahn said on The 700 Club this week.?He and others believe there's a correlation between financial downturns in the United States and the end of the shemitah year.?"[In] 1980 you have recession and then the stock market collapses; you have '87 stock market collapses and the shemitah of that, and you have 'Black Monday' the worst point percentage crash in history," Cahn explained. "Shemitah of 1994, the bond market collapses, called the bond market massacre -- greatest in history; 2001 you have the stock market collapsing, recession. You have the greatest point crash in world history and you have 9/11, which is the shaking. Shemitah also means shaking."?The end of the Hebrew month of Elul ushers in the start of the Jewish High Holy Days, beginning with Rosh Hashanah.?"The Bible refers to Rosh Hashanah as Yom Teruah -- the day of sounding the shofar blasts. It's a day of shofar blasts, a day of judgment, a day of coronating God as our King," Weisz said.?And 10 days later comes Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the Jewish year.?"Yom Kippur in the Bible is the day of judgment, the day of tshuvah, the day of atonement, the day of forgiveness," Weisz continued. "It's a day we spend in synagogue fasting, not eating or drinking for a 25-hour period, and a day that is spent in prayer and in repentance."?But God didn't leave his people without hope. Within a few days, the joyful Festival of Sukkot, the Feast of Tabernacles, begins.?This year, as a result of the lunar eclipse, there's a rare blood moon on the first night of Sukkot. It's the fourth blood moon on a Jewish holiday in two years.?"It happened only four times in the last 500 years," Weisz explained. "The last tetrad to occur on the Jewish festivals before this one was in 1967, the one before was 1948 and the one before was all the way in 1492. And those are major years in Jewish history and in the history of the world."?Those dates include the birth of the modern State of Israel, the reuniting of Jerusalem under Jewish sovereignty, and the expulsion of the Jews from Spain hundreds of years ago.?That's led many to say God is judging the world and the Jewish people, but Weisz sees it differently.?"It's our belief that the blood moons are a cause of celebration, where God is giving signs to the world and signs to the Jewish people that He is doing something great for us and for the world. So it's a sign of excitement, it's a sign! The blood moons are a sign of excitement and they're a sign of Messianic advancement," he said.?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.

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.

August 13th 2004 is a date Floridians will remember for a long time. Hurricane Charley struck S.W. Florida with 145 mph. winds and torrential rains causing a 50 mile wide path of destruction beginning on the Gulf coast and exiting on the Atlantic coast. I lived 30 miles inland in central Florida at the time. A family member living one mile from the Gulf of Mexico called me just as the storm was beginning to hit there. They told me that the winds and rains were unbelievable and it was getting very bad down there. After we hung up, I went outside and took a look around....knowing Charley would arrive in a few hours?I was struck by the calm of the lake I lived on, the puffy clouds dotting the blue sky, and the lack of any wind. Just a few hours later, the sky turned dark, the winds picked up, and torrential rain battered my home. The contrast between the calm earlier in the day and Charley's 90-100 mph. winds was unbelievable. When the sun rose the next morning, it exposed all of the damage and destruction Charley left the day before. I won't forget the calm weather, numerous warnings to get ready, and apathy of many citizens....just days before the approaching storm. I believe we are living in the days of relative calm before the storm.......the coming storm of birth pains and God's divine judgement.??1 Thessalonians 5:2?? For you yourselves are fully aware that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. While people are saying, "There is peace and security," then sudden destruction will come upon them as labor pains come upon a pregnant woman, and they will not escape. But you are not in darkness, brothers, for that day to surprise you like a thief. For you are all children of light, children of the day. We are not of the night or of the darkness. So then let us not sleep, as others do, but let us keep awake and be sober.?For the most part, people in our time remind me of the people we read about in Noah's day. Despite warning after warning...they go about their life like they have no one to answer to. Noah warned of impending judgement and the flood came. Prophets warned of coming judgement and the Babylonian armies conquered. Jesus warned about the coming destruction in Jerusalem and just a few decades later, Jerusalem was in ruins as was the temple.?Here we are now in our modern world....with all of it's comforts, luxuries, and diversions. Everything is going on just as it always has. Our generation has been witness to wars, disasters, and economic uncertainty. Most people view these events as just another link in the chain of history. Although we face major issues, things always die down and return to normal. Wars eventually come to an end. Evil dictators and rulers eventually die. The financial markets always bounce back. Natural disasters eventually run their course and recovery efforts restore a sense of normality to life.?Take the broad view of our world right now. Sure...there is conflict, there is suffering, and there are pockets of violence. We have displaced people looking for refuge in safe areas. There are sporadic acts of terrorism. The economy is fluctuating wildly and we have nations threatening other nations. In all reality......things look pretty normal. For the most part, people have the same thoughts and opinions about the current world condition. They believe this is the way it's always been. They reason that everything always returns to normal. They feel like this life has it's ups and downs but everything will work out just fine.?It's like most people in our day are collectively thinking the same thing about the future: "We have peace and safety."?People...especially here in the West have been warned through the faithful preaching, teaching, and witnessing of believers. They have been warned about God's holiness, His wrath, and the coming judgement He will pour out on an un-repentant world. They have been warned over and over again. Unfortunately....a majority of these warnings are laughed at, forgotten, or ignored. Some people do respond with a contrite repentant heart that trusts in Jesus for salvation, but a majority do not. The signs pointing to the nearness of the Lord's return are everywhere, but most people live as though He's not coming back.?Even more telling about the times we live in is the rampant apathy even among some Christians regarding the Lord's return. Where does this 'I could care less attitude' come from? I don't believe it's from ignorance because there are countless verses in the Bible pertaining to the end times. These people choose to gloss over words like:? Rapture (teaching about it), 70th Week, Great Tribulation, birth pains, beginning of sorrows, etc.?That is a shame because I believe....the amount of weight or esteem a Christian gives eschatology will greatly impact the way he or she evangelizes, disciples, and lives a life of holiness. We know the Master is away but He is coming back soon and we will have to give an account for how we spent our lives here.?2 Peter 3:3?? knowing this first of all, that scoffers will come in the last days with scoffing, following their own sinful desires. They will say, "Where is the promise of his coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things are continuing as they were from the beginning of creation." For they deliberately overlook this fact, that the heavens existed long ago, and the earth was formed out of water and through water by the word of God, and that by means of these the world that then existed was deluged with water and perished. But by the same word the heavens and earth that now exist are stored up for fire, being kept until the Day of Judgment and destruction of the ungodly.?We have scoffers both inside and outside the church who choose to ignore His warnings. The warnings have been sounded almost everywhere. In just the last century, we have seen the Bible translated and distributed to many languages and countries. Can you imagine that? Many around the globe that were previously living in darkness now have the word of God in their own language. Now only a shrinking number of people groups and dialects await the good news.?Let's connect the dots regarding our current global situation: People are being warned about coming judgement. Just like the example of the hurricane warnings that went up as Hurricane Charley approached Florida, individuals must decide how to respond to the warnings of what is coming. Apathy.....especially spiritual apathy is destructive. Neglect God's warnings and terrible consequences follow as history shows in Noah's day, Sodom, Jerusalem 586BC - AD70, and even now.........the warnings in the Bible are largely ignored. This world has had the last 2,000 years to consider the words of Jesus as He warned us of what is coming in the days ahead.?Luke 17:26?? Just as it was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the days of the Son of Man. They were eating and drinking and marrying and being given in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. Likewise, just as it was in the days of Lot-they were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building, but on the day when Lot went out from Sodom, fire and sulfur rained from heaven and destroyed them all- so will it be on the day when the Son of Man is revealed.?Decent people see all of the hurt, pain, and atrocities committed by evil people and we ask: "How could God allow such a thing?" Please understand this: Nothing that happens has escaped God's watchful eyes. He isn't ignoring suffering or evil, but is patiently waiting for the last church age person to come to salvation. There is a day coming and I believe we are quickly approaching it....when God will pour out His holy righteous judgement on a wicked, evil, unrepentant world. Ultimately, everyone who hasn't come to repentance and made Jesus their Lord will stand before the Great White Judgement Throne of God and face eternal judgement.?Between then and now, we don't know how much time will elapse although we are seeing end time prophecy increasingly fulfilled. Russia and it's military are forging alliances and conducting movements that place it on a collision course with the God of the universe. Iran has called for the destruction of Israel and the US and by our actions, we are helping to procure the armaments to act on their threats. China and North Korea are arming to the teeth and destabilizing the entire Asia-Pacific region. The global economy is increasingly volatile and some are calling for a global currency. The Russians and Chinese are calling for replacement of the dollar as the world's standard currency.?We are certainly living in perilous times and we are seeing the birth pains and signs of the times increase in severity and frequency. Many people in the world are going about daily life either oblivious to the fact judgement is coming or they just don't believe it.?Harry (R) Truman was the caretaker of the Mount St. Helens Lodge on Spirit Lake. He received numerous warnings from officials that the longtime dormant volcano was on the verge of eruption. Scores of residents, campers, hikers, and park rangers evacuated the area. Harry refused to leave and on May 18th 1980 the mountain exploded with fury and he was vaporized by the pyroclastic blast of the volcano. Just like Harry....people ignore hurricane warnings, tsunami warnings, and other warnings about impending danger and pay a terrible price.?Countless millions of people are ignoring Jesus' warnings about coming judgement. They need to be told about God's holy law, sin, judgement, salvation, and repentance before it's too late. They are collectively believing: "peace and safety" when we are in the calm before the storm.Isaac Newton, Daniel's 70 Weeks & the Six Day War - By Cris D. Putnam - you have ever spent any time studying Daniel's seventy-weeks prophecy you might have been somewhat annoyed by the first seven weeks.?"Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times."(Da 9:25)?Frankly, it seems to just be dangling there without a purpose.? Most prophecy teachers simply add the two together to make sixty-nine weeks without saying much about why it is "seven and threescore and two (62)." Well, this bothered Newton too. He explained the odd seven weeks as referring to the second coming, after a future restoration of Israel which had not yet occurred! He explained the verse in this way:?Know also and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to cause to return and to build Jerusalem, unto the Anointed the Prince, shall be seven weeks. ?The former part of the Prophecy related to the first coming of Christ, being dated to his coming as a Prophet; this being dated to his coming to be Prince or King, seems to relate to his second coming. There, the Prophet was consummate, and the most holy anointed: here, he that was anointed comes to be Prince and to reign. For Daniel's Prophecies reach to the end of the world; and there is scarce a Prophecy in the Old Testament concerning Christ, which doth not in something or other relate to his second coming. If divers of the antients, as Iren?us, Julius Africanus, Hippolytus the martyr, and Apollinaris Bishop of Laodicea, applied the half week to the times of Antichrist; why may not we, by the same liberty of interpretation, apply the seven weeks to the time when Antichrist shall be destroyed by the brightness of Christ's coming?[i]?He puts the first seven in the future after the second rebuilding of Jerusalem. Jerusalem was reclaimed by Israel during the Six Days War in June of 1967. Recall that in the seventy-weeks paradigm, the "seven" is seven weeks of years which is (7 x 7) forty-nine years. T. W. Tramm explains a remarkable concurrence:?June 7, 1967 falls in the Hebrew year 5727, adding forty-nine prophetic years to this date we arrive in the Hebrew year 5776, which is 2015 on the Gregorian calendar. Interestingly, if one counts exactly forty-nine (360 day) prophetic years (17,640 days) from the June 7, 1967 date of Jerusalem's recapture, we arrive at September 23, 2015-the Day of Atonement! Coincidence?[ii]?We verified this remarkable match but we also noted that if one counts 49 x 365 days for solar years, one lands in 2016 which corresponds nicely with historical approach of AD 756 the acceding of temporal power to the pope plus 1260 derived from Revelation 11:3. Although no man knows the day or hour, it is hard to ignore the remarkable preponderance of prophecy pointing to the period we have entered.?[i] Isaac Newton, Observations upon the Prophecies of Daniel, and the Apocalypse of St. John (London: 1733); viewable here: Newton Project, last accessed February 2, 2012, .?[ii] T. W. Tramm, 2012-2015: The Season of Return (self-published 2010), 265.Daily Jot: Responsible prophetic discernment - Bill Wilson - ?It is easy in these days of 24 hour news and messaging to become so sensitized to current events that we are seeking prophetic signs in everything. Remember what Jesus told the Pharisees and Sadducees who asked him to show them a sign from heaven? In Matthew 16:2-4, Jesus says, "When it is evening, you say, it will be fair weather: for the sky is red. And in the morning, it will be foul weather today: for the sky is red and lowering. O ye hypocrites, you can discern the face of the sky; but can you not discern the signs of the times." The Holy Scriptures give us what to look for regarding the end times. They are very specific about the time of the Lord's return and what will occur. But we must discern responsibly.?We know, according to the Apostle Paul, that several distinct things must happen before the Lord returns. He writes in 2 Thessalonians 2:2-3, "That you be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sits in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God." This is very clear: 1) don't be deceived, 2) falling away, 3) antichrist (beast) revealed, 4) sits in the temple as God.?He also writes in 1 Thessalonians 4:15-16, "For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first." So 5) Lord returns with a shout, 6) dead in Christ rise first, 7) saints remaining on earth meet him in the air. This is consistent with Biblical prophecies written about the return of Christ. There is no mention of the stock market or the US political situation, although these things may have a role in moving the prophetic clock forward and are interesting side stories. ?We, as saints in these days and as watchmen and teachers, must be responsible in how we explain these events. We must be discerning and careful to not overstate their significance, use inflammatory language, or to tie Biblical absolutes to our subjective opinion in order to advance personal viewpoints. Be careful not to be driven by intrigue or fear, or to be led astray by false doctrine. Be as those in Berea from Acts 17:11, "These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so." The prophetic must align with scripture. Crying wolf too many times can cause many to stumble. Let us discern responsibly.Daily Devotion: Genuine Faith - Greg Laurie - ?My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. -James 1:2-3?Jesus was very popular early on in His ministry, especially after performing His most popular miracle to date: the feeding of the five thousand. Now we're talking-a guy who gives us free lunch! This is awesome! The crowds swelled. Huge multitudes followed Him. So Jesus turned to them and challenged them, and the result was that many turned away. They weren't following Jesus for the right reasons.?Some people say they are Christians, but then, when a little hardship comes their way, they say they don't believe anymore. They claim to have lost their faith. Their faith was worthless in that case, because the faith that can't be tested is the faith that can't be trusted.?If you were to tell me that you've lost your faith because of a hardship or difficulty, then I would tell you that I'm glad you lost that faith-because it wasn't real faith at all. If you have real faith in God, then it won't be weakened by calamity; it will be strengthened by it. If you have real faith, then it will grow through hardship. That is what the Bible teaches.?Tragedy, hardship, and trials don't produce faith as much as they reveal it. If your faith is really in Jesus, then you will get through the storms of life. If you tell me that you turned away from God because of something that happened in your life, then my question is do you even have faith? Maybe it's time to get some.?Jesus thinned out the ranks of His so-called followers. Gideon did the same when God called him into battle against the Midianites. Why? Because God can do more with three hundred committed people than with ten thousand halfhearted people. And He is still looking for committed people today.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.
