US Secretary of State John Kerry's call to congratulate Netanyahu was perfunctory and chilly...the message that Washington is conveying is that everything other than the most routine cooperation - security, intelligence, and military - is open to question... If post-elections Netanyahu puts his policy where his mouth is and continues to deny a path toward Palestinian statehood, Washington is signaling that things will get ugly. Uglier, that is. Carefully planted rumors have been circulating around Washington for weeks that the White House and Foggy Bottom are considering presenting a new peace plan, one that bypasses direct negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian Authority and attempts to impose a reality on the ground... : US revisiting Israel policy after PM's rejection of Palestinian state?The Obama administration is reconsidering its role as Israel's protector in the international diplomacy arena following Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's rejection of a Palestinian state...the administration is going to look very closely at the possibility of either joining, or at least not blocking an internationally backed move at the UN to restate the parameters for ending the conflict...A decision not to block such a move would mean that an attempt by the Palestinians to pass a UN Security Council resolution to end Israel's presence in the West Bank might succeed in 2015. The Palestinians will also join the International Criminal Court on April 1 and hope to bring formal charges of war crimes against Israeli officials... House to "Re-evaluate" Policies on Israel Following Netanyahu Win?US President Barack Obama has yet to call Netanyahu and congratulate him on his re-election, despite the fact that other world leaders have acknowledged the win...White House Spokesman Josh Earnest told reporters that the administration will reevaluate its stance on the Middle East peace process now that Netanyahu has won...The Obama administration signaled on Wednesday that Netanyahu would suffer consequences for the new stance on No two-State solution...While tensions between Netanyahu and Obama have reached an all-time high over the last several months, the last several weeks have seen the relationship fray even further... Congratulates Netanyahu, No Word from Obama?The EU congratulated Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu on his election victory Wednesday - In contrast to the EU's speedy congratulations, US President Barack Obama has yet to comment on Netanyahu's victory... chides Netanyahu's party after Israeli election win?Frustrated by both Israel and the U.S., Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has become increasingly aggressive in efforts to secure a Palestinian state through other means, including the UN Security Council. The U.S. has veto power on the council and has repeatedly warned Abbas it would block his efforts to use that avenue...Wednesday, a senior administration official said only that the administration was evaluating its options on Security Council action and other possible responses, notably not repeating administration threats to block the Palestinians. A second official confirmed the U.S. could decide not to veto Security Council action... ???Obama Lays Down Punishment on Netanyahu?Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu may have just scored a large victory at home, but Israel's relations with the United States could be on the brink.? The administration of President Barack Obama was particularly prickled by Netanyahu's assertion on Monday that he no longer supports the two-state solution as well as continued building in Judea and Samaria..."We are now in a reality where the Israeli government no longer supports direct negotiations. Therefore we clearly have to factor that into our decisions going forward." ... ???Krauthammer: Obama Should Address Israelis As Warmly As He Does the Iranians ?Charles Krauthammer tonight sounded off on President Barack Obama's videoTo the Iranian people on nuclear weapons negotiations [yes you read that right!? President Obama made a video talking directly to the Iranian people!!!]... "This is unusual in American history, a president addressing a serious adversary, enemy of the U.S., where the leader leads chants of 'death to America' ...if only he would address as warmly the Israelis as he does the Iranians and their leaders" ...Krauthammer said that the administration may be "trying to stab Israel in the back" by supporting a U.N. resolution to call for unilateral withdrawal of Israel.? He added that this could be the administration's "cynical attempt" to distract from a "catastrophic" nuclear weapons deal with Iran... ?Who would have ever thought we would live to see the day to read these news titles on a sitting President of the United States of America?? Once again, this U.S. Administration continues put its finger square in the eye of the Apple of God's Eye, Israel...Almighty God's response HAS to be true to His Word - He cannot violate or vary from His Word - "The words of the Lord are pure words,? Like silver tried in a furnace of earth, Purified seven times. You shall keep them, O Lord, You shall preserve them from this generation forever" Psalm 12:6-7 ...and here is what God's Word says "I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you" Genesis 12:3 ...and "The God of Israel will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem"? Zechariah 12:9 - this does NOT exclude this U.S. administration or America for that fact!?As previously stated "America is God's Disappointing Vineyard"..."Now let me tell you what I will do to my vineyard (U.S.): I will tear down its (financial) hedges and let it be destroyed (this is the Shemitah year).? I will break down its walls and let (other nations) the animals trample it (China overtakes U.S. as world's largest economy - Pentagon: US may lose high-tech military superiority to China, Russia).? I will make it a wild place where the vines are not pruned and the ground is not hoed, a place overgrown with briers and thorns (California's drought has reached Biblical-plague proportions). I will command the clouds to drop no rain on it.? (Because) The nation of Israel is the (real) vineyard of the Lord of Heaven's Armies. The people of Judah are his pleasant garden. He expected a crop of justice (from the U.S.), but instead he found oppression (toward Israel). He expected to find righteousness (or honesty and support toward and for Israel), but instead he heard cries of violence (as the U.S. abandons Israel for backing Hamas and Iran terrorists, who's mission is to destroy her)."? Isaiah 5:5-7?I am again taking the liberty of using the verse above meant for Israel, as also having fulfillment in the United States of America - many passages in the Bible concerning Israel seem to have a parallel message to America, as Rabbi Jonathan Cahn so aptly points out in The Harbinger: the Ancient Mystery that holds the secret of America's Future and the Isaiah 9:10 judgment.?The articles above and many other actions (and inactions) of the U.S. toward Israel by this administration, has not only serious ramifications for Israel, but serious consequences for America.? The U.S. has been Israel's defender for the last 97-years [Even prior to May 14, 1948, when Israel declared itself a State and the US declared its recognition and support, following World War I, the Balfour Declaration of November 2, 1917 was a product of efforts by President Woodrow Wilson at the urging of Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis]...starting with Bush I and the Oslo Accords ( ) the push of Land for Peace, and continuing to its crescendo now with the Obama administration, blatantly and unashamedly aligning the U.S. with those nations and terrorist groups, who have aggressively and loudly called for Israel's destruction - to wipe it off the map, is appalling at best! and it WILL call down God's judgments at worst!Many people report seeing 11:11 over and over again, and it has gained popularity as the 11:11 phenomenon.? Here is the likely meaning - Jeremiah 11:11 contains a serious warning: "Therefore thus says the Lord: "Behold, I will surely bring calamity on them which they will not be able to escape; and though they cry out to Me, I will not listen to them."? Yes, Jeremiah 11:11 was written for Israel, however, as Jonathan Cahn draws a parallel for America from Isaiah 9:10 "The Isaiah 9:10 Judgment"? (the same judgmental consequences for Israel visited on America), a parallel "Harbinger" may be true for America and may find its fulfillment in the words of Jeremiah 11:11.? ?For those who have read Cahn's latest book "The Mystery of the Shemitah" and understand the Shemitah year judgments? on America since 9/11/2001 and again in 2008 (see our recent report The 777.7 Coincidence!!?? ) can see that the "Calamity" has begun and most "will not be able to escape" the financial devastation which is to come!? Many have suggested it is already too late to "cry out" as God's judgment on America (and the world for that matter) is fixed to His timetable for wrapping up the Church Age, taking His Bride home, and unleashing His righteous judgments (Tribulation period) on Earth!? ?Supporting these thoughts, Rabbi Cahn states in his latest book The Mystery of the Shemitah "But what if the Shemitah contains an ominous warning about a wider collapse of not just stock markets or housing markets but potentially America's very existence as leader of the free world?"? That would certainly be a Jeremiah 11:11 event!? Cahn also points out "the focus of the message is not date-setting but the call of God to repentance and return. 2 Chronicles 7:14 "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." "At the same time, something of significance could take place, and it is wise to note the times."?As Rabbi Jonathan Cahn recently put it, the 'SMILE OF HEAVEN' IS REMOVED FROM AMERICA - see and hear his short speech to the chamber of the U.S. Capitol's Statuary Hall here: )?God Bless Israel!!! and re-elected PM Binyamin Netanyahu "May those who love you be secure. May there be peace within your walls and security within your citadels." Psalm 122:6-7??Appeasement, Capitulation and Eschatology - Dave Gatehouse - djgatehouse@??The dictionary defines APPEASE (verb) and the noun Appeasement) as 'to pacify or placate (someone) by acceding to their demands.' ?CAPITULATION (noun) is 'the action of surrendering or ceasing to resist an opponent or demand.'?George Santayana was a Spanish Philosopher (1863 - 1952). One of his most famous sayings was:?Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.???????????? *?????????? This famous statement has produced many paraphrases and variants:??????????? *?????????? Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it.??????????? *?????????? Those who do not remember their past are condemned to repeat their mistakes.??????????? *?????????? Those who do not read history are doomed to repeat it.??????????? *?????????? Those who fail to learn from the mistakes of their predecessors are destined to repeat them.?Those who do not know history's mistakes are doomed to repeat them.?To this worldly wisdom should be added: those who do not read the bible, will not understand history in a proper, true and inerrant context and are condemned to repeat the errors of the past which will be fatal from an eternal perspective. Furthermore, those who do not read the approximate 30% of the bible given to prophecy, will not know what God has ordained for the future. Even with a historical worldly background to guide them, they will still be in error. ?But let us go back to Santayana's phrase. It has often been used to guide the policy of nations especially in matters of foreign affairs. Other adages have application too, such as leopards don't change their spots. In other words, the actions of countries and individuals in the past, produce high probabilities and? indications of how they will react in the future.?Case in point: The world in 2015 has been negotiating with Iran for some 12 years, during which time Iran has never changed its position concerning their hate for the U.S.A (the great Satan) and Israel (the little Satan). Meanwhile, they have continued their stalling tactics while racing towards the development of a nuclear bomb. No amount of time and effort will change this situation, nor will appeasement or future negotiation. Iran is driven by a Shiite eschatology, not the logic of such reasoning as a 'nuclear deterrent', removal of sanctions, wanting to be part of the 'brotherhood' of mankind or any other socially accepted world view. Extending negotiations time after time does not change their position and only buys them more time. When they say they want to wipe Israel off the map, convert the world to their brand of radical Islam? or chop your head off, they mean it. This is not pure rhetoric, acting, grand standing and positional staging. The world is delusional to think otherwise.?Appeasement and capitulation will only further embolden Iran. These methods convince them that the rest of the world is weak and will give into their demands.?With individuals, the same is true. If in the past, one individual has been allowed to have their way through appeasement (the other person thinking that they can pacify the one demanding), then that individual will continue to demand knowing that their demands were met in the past and will be in the future. Capitulation of the other party is 'sure', since they have ceased to resist the demands in the past.?The interesting point is this: when the individual who has consistently capitulated in the past in order to appease the demands of the individual used to getting their way, there is an extreme adjustment period to be anticipated if things change. The demanding individual can not, or will not understand that things will not turn out in their favor as they always have in the past. The response is: "Why won't the other individual appease me this time? Why won't they capitulate to my demands this time? I will turn up the heat on my demands, I will argue them into submission with reasoning, new information, and even excuses and threats if necessary to get my way. They always back down!"?Now, to the individual who has said, "enough is enough, I've had it with appeasement , it never seems to work and only makes things worse." Appeasement has always been a temporary fix to diffuse disagreements and arguments, and it only emboldens the demands of the other party the next time an issue arises. Capitulation has not worked either; giving in and saying 'uncle' gains no respect from the demanding individual, only giving them a sense of power to do the same the next time just like the school yard bully.?Having never consistently appeased or capitulated, an individual has an easier way out of a disagreement. The demanding party IS NOT sure their demands will always be met; they may take it seriously when then other party has drawn the line in the sand on a particular issue. Compromise and give and take are possible.?But for the chronic appeasing and capitulating individual, finally reaching the point where drawing the line in the sand (red lines?) is considered absolutely necessary, then they must be prepared for the battle of their lives, or the possibility of an all-out war instead of just a battle.?Such was the case in WW2. The world appeased Germany over and over again and the end result was a total all-out war. Hitler could not understand why he could not get his way after the world had consistently capitulated to his demands.?So when applying Santayana's phrase, 'those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it,' we now see the unlearned lesson of WW11? potentially being played out once again with Iran and in concert with Russia and other Arab allies. This could lead to WW111. As in the past, war, not negotiations may ultimately bring about peace. It did not have to be so, if appeasement and capitulation had quickly ceased with the first ultimate deadline set for an agreement with Iran on its nuclear deal.? Now it may be too late. And don't look for Churchill in the White House - he's not there. And Kerry too is delusional.?The most current deadline of March 31, 2015 is not perceived by Iran to be a real deadline. If for some strange reason, it is the final deadline in the eyes of the Obama administration, this will be an unanticipated change in the de facto 'rules of engagement' which will surprise Iran to no end. There will be a high probability that they will not back down, even if they don't have the weaponry they are comfortable with, to fight a war. Their eschatology will not let them submit to anyone except their pagan moon god Allah. Furthermore they really believe war will bring back the Mahdi who will give them victory. That is a scary and dangerous eschatology my friends.?Some pragmatic decisions may still be made by Iran. They may simply attack Israel, not YET being ready for a war with the USA. They may think that with their proxies such as Hamas, Hezbollah and maybe other Arab nations who for religious reasons hate Israel more than they dislike Iran ('the enemy of my enemy is my friend'), that they can finally destroy Israel. Plan two would be to take on the USA at a later date. They may also rightly discern that with Russia's military arms support, that the USA will back down and will be unwilling to support Israel just the same as they backed down on Syria, the Crimea and in the Western Ukraine. And Tsar Putin thinks he knows this too, based on past US capitulation.?As for Obama and his left leaning, Muslim appeasing administration, they probably will back off from such involvement. The animosity between Israel and the US administration has only been increased with the re-election of Netanyahu this week. The wild card here is the support for Israel within the American population itself and the possibility that some Democrats may side with the Republican controlled houses in the US government to reach the magic quorum necessary to override Obama's 'executive orders' once and for all - even to the point of possible impeachment of the President. Then all bets are off for the US non -support of Israel in the case of a middle east all out war. But don't count on that. The Bible says it won't happen. The US and all nations will ultimately abandon Israel. Is that time here??In Canada, there is a movement to unite the Liberal and NDP parties to defeat Prime Minister Harper and his Israel supporting Conservatives. So don't assume Canada will be at Israel's side either. The Bible says ALL nations will abandon Israel.?But with all this speculation and analysis of what might play out, there is another scenario which has not been fully entered into the picture. Iran has an eschatology. The Arab nations also have their own versions of eschatology at play here be they Shiite or Sunnis. But there is also a Christian/Judaic Eschatology at work not just in western nations and Israel, but more importantly in God's plan, the only true God of the Bible.?Many Biblical prophecy experts agree on a number of things: 1) the bible end times/last day period is upon us 2) all prophecies are converging 3) Israel going back to their land after two Millennia is a super sign that the end is near 4) the Bible predicts that in that generation (when Israel comes back to their land) the end will come 5) that there may be another imminent middle east regional war with Israel's immediate hostile neighbors such as Gaza (Hamas), Lebanon (Hezbollah), possibly Syria and/or ISIS and even Jordan and Egypt (although the latter two may be reluctant to join in for a number of reasons.) The Bible infers that this Psalm 83, Isaiah 17 war will be won by Israel most likely in the strength of their own IDF.?Iran and Russia will not be pleased at all and when Israel wins and finally feels at peace. The the Ezekiel 38 war will break out with Russia, Iran and many other Arab nations such as northern Sudan, Libya and Turkey etc joining in to attack Israel. At this point israel will be totally without hope of any human effort to save them. The rest of the western world will stand by and simply watch. But according to Bible prophecy, God will directly intervene and supernaturally defeat the armies of Russia (Gog and Magog), Iran (Persia) and the other confederate hordes.?Even if you forget about upcoming blood moons, solar eclipses and tetrads linked to Jewish appointed times also outlined in the Bible; forget about the Council on Foreign Relations, the Illuminati, and other one world government players who are steering us to economic collapse then authoritarian control; forget about the Shemita year and the predicted major crash of the stock markets by year end; forget about the unsustainable American 18 trillion dollar debt. Forget about real estate bubbles bursting, or ISIS coming to a town near you. Forget about the unbiblical ecumenical associations being formed with the Catholic church and Chrislam. Forget about the rampant apostasy even in the evangelical churches let alone in religious sects, Mormanism, and emergent church movements. Forget about abortion issues that are an abomination to God. Forget about the gay movements and the reasons for God destroying not only Sodom and Gomorrah, but also the whole world at the time of the great flood.?Even without all of these warning signs or harbingers, the general unbelieving population senses and knows that something is afoot, that we live in perilous times. And things are about to get much, much worse and the time is coming shortly when the world will welcome the antichrist as the false saviour of the world.?But for the believing born again Christian, we know that these things must happen. We know that the Bible says these things will not overtake us like a thief in the night; provided that we do study history, the historical record of God's divinely inspired word in the Bible. And study His old Testament prophecies that were already fulfilled with 100% accuracy at the time of Yeshua's first coming; study the prophecies that have been fulfilled to this day in the church age and the dispensational prophecies of the last 2000 years that pertain to Israel. And be convinced that God's yet future prophecies, will be ultimately fulfilled to the 't' in the near future. ?Then rest in the glorious knowledge, not just hope, that Christ is coming shortly to redeem His bride; the church. In the meanwhile who do you love so much that you want to take them with you? Don't put that off. Don't let Satan convince you that the fear of family or friends rejecting you is sufficient eternal reason to put off talking to the unsaved.?And if you haven't yet accepted Christ as your only hope and Saviour, do it now. Time is short. You know it. The world knows it. You can feel it. Even so, come Lord Jesus.?Dave Gatehouse, Ottawa Ontariodjgatehouse@?Another Brick in the Wall - By Donna Wasson - is the New York Times headline for today, 3/19/15: "Obama may agree to UN resolution on '67 borders after Netanyahu campaign rhetoric." Uh, excuse me, but just who died and made this moron King of the World?! Who is this man who dares defy the chosen people of the Living God???During Netanyahu's campaign, he stated that he would not allow a Palestinian state on his watch. The people voted overwhelmingly to re-elect him. Today, he stated in an interview with Fox News "I didn't retract any of the things I said in my speech six years ago, calling for a solution in which a demilitarized Palestinian state recognizes a Jewish state."? ?He also said he thinks the conditions for a two-state solution, "today are not achievable" since the Palestinian leaders refuse to accept Israel as a Jewish state and their intentions are to allow terrorists to occupy any territory Israel withdraws from. He also told MSNBC that his ultimate goal is "a sustainable, peaceful two-state solution" if circumstances change.? ??White House Press Secretary, Josh Earnest, said that Obama is concentrating on what Netanyahu said before the election, which shows the Israeli leader is backing away from being willing to negotiate. "It does raise questions about his commitment to that solution" Earnest stated today.? ??He went on to warn that the United States' position of protecting Israel from United Nations interference was based on coming to an agreement on a Palestinian state. He said that foundation has now been "eroded" and the Obama administration is reevaluating its position, and is considering supporting the United Nations plan to pressure Israel into a peace deal with the Palestinians.??Netanyahu told Fox News that he hopes this isn't Obama's intentions. "I hope that's not true, and I think that President Obama has said time and time again, as I've said, that the only path to a peace agreement is an agreement, a negotiated agreement. You can't impose it. You can't force the people of Israel, who've just elected me by a wide margin, to bring them peace and security, to secure the State of Israel, to accept terms that would endanger the very survival of the State of Israel. I don't think that's the direction of American policy. I hope it's not."?Despite unprecedented action taken by the Obama administration to influence Israeli elections by sending Obama's re-election campaign manager along with his team to Israel to work with Netanyahu's opposition, Netanyahu won a decisive victory for an amazing fourth term. I'm pretty sure I heard Obama's pink, lacy knickers twisting from here. He is livid Bibi won because he absolutely detests him and he hates Israel. He has finally extended the basic courtesy of a congratulatory phone call to Bibi on his win. It's about time as he's been acting like a truculent, pouting brat.??The New York Times reports "According to several administration officials, the Obama administration is now seriously considering agreeing to the passage of a United Nations Security Council resolution 'embodying the principles of a two-state solution that would include Israel's 1967 borders with Palestine and mutually agreed swaps of territory.'"?Let's look at all this from a different angle. How would France feel if Spain decided that they wanted some of France's territory? There's plenty of room for Spain already, but they are upset that France won just a little too much land in the Franco-Spanish War (1635-59), and they want some of it back.? ??They whine and cry about being thrown off 'their' land and go to the United Nations, calling France bullies and terrorists for "occupying" what was previously Spain's territory. The United Nations clucks their collective tongue at France and tries to shame the country for being so aggressive and mean to the poor, poor Spanish people. They agree with Spain and start pressuring France to move their borders back to pre-1635 lines.??Then, the United States sticks their big nose into the fray, agreeing with the United Nations and the whole world starts throwing France ugly looks and calling them troublemakers. If they would ONLY give up that land to the Spanish, the whole world would be a peaceful utopia. Does anyone besides me see how completely absurd such a scenario would be???What happened to the concept of national sovereignty?! What ever happened to everybody minding their own dang business and keeping their nose out of other countries issues? Can you image the outrage of the French people were they in Israel's shoes? The fact that the entire world is pressuring a sovereign country to give up what little land they have to placate their mortal enemies, is completely insane!? ??Who do the leaders in the United Nations think they are, anyway? NO other nation on this earth would put up with such atrocious and flagrant interference in their business! Why should Israel? The fact that this is happening to Israel, the Apple of God's eye, being foretold in scripture, is even more proof that the Bible is 100% accurate.?? ??If I am this appalled and angry on Israel's behalf, just think of the seething rage the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is feeling right now! WOE to America and this wicked administration. "And the Lord thy God will put all these curses upon thine enemies, and on them that hate thee, which persecuted thee."?

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????This week on 'The Hal Lindsey Report' - Hal Lindsey - ???If you've watched "The Hal Lindsey Report" over the couple of years, you've noticed that I've hit hard and often on two ideas. One, that times of persecution (and legal prosecution) are headed our way. Two, that the reason for that persecution will be our insistence on pressing the claim of Jesus Christ that He is the only way to salvation and heaven. ?As we see the demonic spirit of "political correctness" take firmer hold on all areas of our society, I'm convinced that the decision by true Christians to stand up for Jesus on certain issues and claims will spark an onslaught of derision and discrimination against us. I think those defining issues will include abortion, same sex marriage, parental rights, and the role of God in our national life. ?Most importantly, though, I believe it will all come down to the name of Jesus. Already, our military, our schools, our courts, and our governments (we lost the entertainment industry and our universities long ago) are in a mad dash to eliminate any vestige of religious recognition, much less freedom. However, it seems to be only Christ-centered traditions that are being banished. Islam, humanism, and other religions are, in fact, being celebrated and encouraged in ways Christianity never has. ?Just as Jesus Himself warned, the dividing line in the last days will be the name of Jesus. He said that because the world hated Him, it will hate us. He cautioned that true, and faithful, believers will be persecuted "for My name's sake." (John 15:21) ?In recent months, I've shown you myriad examples of how this exact situation is developing right here in the United States -- and inside some of our most trusted institutions. As a "watchman on the wall," my calling is to declare what I see coming so that you can prepare yourself and your family for those days. ?But that preparation should not be haphazard or random. If we are to remain strong in the coming days, months, and years, we must be standing on a firm foundation. To be able to unflinchingly press the claims of Christ in this hostile world, we must make every effort to understand the man who made those claims. ?To fully appreciate who Jesus Christ is, we must first understand WHY there needed to be a Jesus Christ. There was a reason for God's provision of a savior and a reason for the path He chose for our redemption. I'll begin this week with an explanation of "Why God Had to Become a Man." ?Then we'll start an examination (which I'll continue next week) of "The Man God Became." ?The majesty, the beauty, and the sheer complexity of the concept of the God-Man Jesus Christ is almost overwhelming. But it was all necessary to redeem the creation lost to sin at the fall of Adam. Thank God that He loved us so much He provided a "second Adam" to unselfishly take our place. And thank you, Jesus, for being willing to bear our sins upon your sinless shoulders so that we may be partakers of your eternal glory. ?Don't miss this week's Report on TBN, Daystar, CPM Network, The Word Network, various local stations, ?or ?Witnessing the gears of prophecy turn - Bill Wilson - ??As we look back on the events leading up to this week and what occurred in Israel with the elections, I hesitate to invoke an oft too used Christian cliche', but it seems appropriate--God is in control. He really is. It doesn't minimize that we have free will to make our decisions--both good and bad--suffer the consequences--both good and bad--but there is perspective. And God is in control. He has a prophetic plan for the return of Christ, and that plan is playing out before our very eyes. When evil attempts to storm in outside of that plan, the Lord steps in and puts his plan to work that we all might see that He is the LORD God. That we might be reminded of Galatians 6:7 to not be deceived, God is not mocked.?Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had the cards stacked against him. The "president" of the United States was doing all in his power to make sure Netanyahu did not get reelected. While there was the obvious media reports of the "president's" open feud over Netanyahu's stirring speech before the US joint session of Congress, there was much more at play. There are unconfirmed reports that the "president's" henchmen were in Israel helping organize the opposition. A congressional investigation has been launched into some $350,000 sent by the State Department to a pro-Palestinian non profit when Netanyahu declared his candidacy. Knowing politics, there was much more chicanery that wasn't reported.?It would have been easy for Netanyahu to give up. It is difficult to imagine just how much pressure was applied to convince him that it was a bad idea to address Congress when the "president" was so publicly against it. He had it coming from all directions--from the Democratic Party here in America to the Arabs, the Iranians, the Caliphate builders, the liberals in Israel, and the terrorists throughout the Middle East, including the so-called Palestinians. But he didn't budge. One man stood up to all this pressure. Now I have been told that Netanyahu isn't perfect, but I can say from observing his actions, he showed the world what it means to stand in the gap--having done all, to stand. And God honored that stand.?The Beast; the time of Jacob's Trouble (what many refer to as the tribulation); The return of Jesus Christ; the end time battle against the enemies of Israel and of God; the Millennial reign; the new heaven and new earth are coming. They are not here yet. These events will occur on God's time as Jesus said in Acts 1:7, "It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father has put in his own power." But be sure of this--we are to be ready and to stand, overcoming evil with good. We are to make disciples. As Christ said in Matthew 24:14, "And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come." Meantime, we have watched the gears of prophecy turn this week and we have seen an example of how to stand, and how God honors such action.?Daily Devotion: Why Pray? - Greg Laurie - ??Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere. -Ephesians 6:18?To be a growing Christian, you must have a prayer life. And what is prayer? Simply put, it is communicating with and listening to God.?There isn't one method or one posture for prayer that is more legitimate than another. The main thing is to pray. Writing to the believers in Ephesus, the apostle Paul said, "Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere" (Ephesians 6:18).?You can pray publicly. You can pray privately. You can pray verbally. You can pray silently. You can pray while you're kneeling, standing, sitting, lying down, or even while you're driving (but keep your eyes open). You can lift your eyes to heaven and pray, or you can close your eyes and bow your head and pray. You can pray in any position at any time in any place.?As we look in the pages of the Bible, we see Daniel praying in a lion's den, David praying in a field, and Peter praying while he walked on the water-and while he was in the water. Jonah prayed from the belly of a whale. So surely God will hear your prayer wherever you are. The main thing is that you are always praying.?The apostle Paul told the Thessalonian Christians, "Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you" (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18). That means we should pray in the morning. We should pray in the afternoon. We should pray in the evening. We should pray when we rise. We should pray before we go to bed at night. We are to constantly pray and bring our needs before God. There is no substitute for prayer.?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.

Box 40516 Bakersfield, CA 93384-0516???FEATURED ARTICLE?Featured Article: The Coming Storm - By Tucker Whitaker - have previously noted that the late Reverend David Wilkerson was a prophetic voice for America during his lifetime. While some have criticized some of his dire predictions for America, it seems now that while the timing of his predictions may have been a little off, most are coming or have come to fruition. This excerpt is from his message "The Calm Before the Storm" delivered at the Times Square Church on April 4, 1997. I have extracted a few important paragraphs for their relevance to America today.??Over the years, I have received letters from people saying, "You've been prophesying for years about 'gathering storm clouds' and a 'coming crash.' Yet all you've done is scare a lot of Christians who trust your word. The truth is, the opposite has happened. Instead of experiencing a storm, we've seen a boom, with record-breaking prosperity. There isn't one sign on the horizon to suggest a coming crisis."??The fact is, the apostle Peter warned that many believers would react this way: "...there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, and saying, 'Where is the promise of his coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation" (2 Peter 3:3). In other words: "People will say, 'Where's the so-called storm? Everything is continuing today as it always has!"??Beloved, God has judged every past society for lesser sins than America's. Consider: No other nation has killed more babies than the United States has through abortion. Our soil cries out with the blood of these children! We'd rather save the life of a whale than one of our own babies. America has the world's highest rate of illegitimate pregnancies.??We have begun to glorify homosexuality and lesbianism. Our media applauds the "bravery" of gays who declare their sexual orientation - but we ought to weep over it! At one time, Christians across the country would have been on their faces crying out to God for mercy over such immorality. Radical homosexuals cry out to society, "In your face!" Yet what they're really saying is, "In your face, God!"??America has brazenly kicked God out of its schools and courts. Now there's even a movement to remove His name from the Pledge of Allegiance and from all U.S. coins. People no longer want to hear even the mention of His name! Fifty million Americans now smoke pot, and millions more are hooked on heroin, crack and other hard drugs. Our schools have become bastions of blasphemy and agnosticism. Our children have been robbed of all moral standards, denied all access to God - and they're reacting by becoming more violent and rebellious. Beloved, God destroyed Noah's generation, as well as Sodom, all for lesser sins than ours. What arrogance to think that while these societies were judged severely, we might be spared!??Very Soon, America Is Going to wake up to a sudden news report of calamity - and the storm will be upon us suddenly!??The psalmist describes how God's rod of judgment will fall overnight: "In the hand of the Lord there is a cup, and the wine is red; it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same: but the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out, and drink them...all the horns of the wicked also will I cut off..." (Psalm 75:8, 10).??In Revelation, this cup is called "...the cup of his indignation..." (Revelation 14:10). In other words, it's full of God's wrath. Simply put, America's cup of iniquity is overflowing - and all of our sins are going to turn into his holy wrath!??And, beloved, so it will be suddenly when the storm hits. It will come like a thief in the night, bringing sudden panic and disbelief. Right now you may be thinking, "Let it come! If calamity strikes, I'll deal with it then. After all, I'm in God's hands. I'll be ready - so I'm not going to worry about it. Jesus will see me through."?Yet, let me ask you: Why does God tell his prophets to shout their warnings from the housetops? He wants to warn his people - to stir us up to seek him! He wants to convict us of all our attempts to cast off Christ's yoke and cozy up to the world. He wants us to keep our eyes on Jesus - to seek heavenly things - because those are the only things that will stand in the coming storm!??The Only Hope in the Coming Storm!??Just before his death and resurrection, Jesus stared into the face of a horrible coming storm. David gives us a clear picture of Jesus' attitude in the face of the coming storm. He speaks prophetically of Christ, saying, "...I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved" (Acts 2:25).? ??The literal meaning here is, "I was always in his presence, beholding his face." David quoted Jesus as saying, "Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope" (verse 26).??Here is the secret: Jesus kept the father always before his face! Jesus continually sought out secret places to be shut in with his father. And it was only after being in God's presence that Christ came forth to minister, fully persuaded that his father was always with him: "He's at my right hand - and nothing on this earth can move me!" The Greek word for "moved" here means "agitated or shaken, disturbed."??Beloved, if we're going to face the coming storm, then we need to be prepared so nothing disturbs our spirit. And the only way to do that is to spend time in the father's presence, beholding his face. We have to be shut in with him - on our knees - until we're thoroughly persuaded he's at our right hand!??Words of Grace for Strength??Friends, it is past time for true Christians and the true Church in America to take a stand for Jesus Christ and the one true God (John 14:6). The storm David Wilkerson warned of is rapidly approaching.??We are almost daily seeing evidence of the growing persecution of Christians in this country. It is happening in our military, schools, businesses, and government. Radical groups driven by satanic influence and ideologies (religious and cultural), conspire to marginalize Christians and Christian principles at every opportunity.? ??We, as followers of Christ need to join our voices with those of outspoken Christians like Benjamin Watson, Todd Starnes, and the Reverend Franklin Graham who are unapologetic in their stand for Christians and Christianity.??Most "churches" in America have become institutionalized, seeker friendly, prosperity driven, or denominationally apostate and marked by tolerance, compromise, and inclusiveness. The "mainstream" churches do not preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ, instead their message is filled with political correctness, Social justice and secular humanism.? ??Those of us who are a part of the true Church, the bride of Christ, the Body of Christ, must lift our voices before the Lord in rejection of the false teachers and false religiosity of these "mainstream" churches and their false gospels.??The US is in decline and standing in a place of judgment before God. Our national government is corrupt and led by the most godless administration in our history. Our nation, which was founded on Christian principles led by godly men, now caters to Islamists and Islam while growing increasingly more hostile to Christians. It is turning a blind eye on the genocide of Christians in the Middle East, Africa and the Far East, while embracing the radical Islamists of the Muslim Brotherhood here and abroad.??This administration has vilified and ostracized our greatest ally and the only Democracy in the Middle East, Israel, while embracing and emboldening the very groups (the PA and Hamas) who which to destroy Israel. This administration negotiates with Iran (the greatest sponsor of terrorism internationally) over its nuclear ambitions while ignoring the spread of its influence throughout the world as a result of its terror network.??We as true Christians, true followers of Christ, we who are Americans, though our "citizenship" is in Heaven, have a responsibility to call America (and the world) to repentance.??The storm is coming, and our only hope is to trust in Jesus as our Savior, Lord, Master, Light, Life, and King. We must keep God the Father ever before us through prayer, Bible Study, and our daily Walk "in Christ." We, like Christ, must learn to "rest in hope." We must not fear what the world may do to us, but instead rely on the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ to keep us, strengthen us, instruct us, embolden us, and sustain us as we serve Him. And we must serve Him, we must stand for Him.??While Christ has promised us we will be raptured and not face the wrath of the Tribulation, we still can face a time of storm before that day. We are in a war for the souls of men, we are in a war of eternal significance, and we cannot fail if we do battle in Christ! Put on the whole armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18) and stand!?Tucker Whitaker??Rafter Cross Ministries?drwhitaker@ ? ???If You Died Today, Would You Go To Heaven?Find out, visit:Prophecy Update - GoodSearch Toolbar Prophecy Update Toolbar is free to download and allows you to raise money for our cause every time you search or shop onlineDID YOU KNOW?You can submit an article, leave a comment or praise report at email:prophecyupdate@bak.Maranatha!
