Luke 9:23. It seems that Christians in America, and indeed throughout the world, ignore the power given them by Christ. On all fronts, Christians are in a battle. Simply because we profess Christ as our Saviour we become targets for mocking and anger, but we become victims because we don't stand strong for our Lord. Brethren, we must deny temptations of the flesh that are worldly desires, and take up our cross, and wholeheartedly follow Jesus. We must draw the line, then stand firm on God's side of the line. For too long, Christians have stood with at least one foot on the side of the world. Unless we firmly stand on the side of God we compromise Him and our faith. By compromising, we side with the enemy. If we don't stand with Christ then we stand against Him. "He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad." Matthew 12:30. The other side of the line is where the powers, principalities, and minions of evil in high places have dominion. Satan leads the enemy forces as the battle rages unto God's finale. It's our flesh that battles against our spirit, but how long are we going to allow the flesh to cross the line? Ultimately we know who wins the war, but if we yield to temptation and cross over the line, we side with Satan. ?God's word tells us that we are to live in the world but not be of the world. That takes determination. When we draw the line and stand on the side of Christ, the worldly people around us cannot understand why we won't compromise our faith. They don't understand that we are sojourners just passing through on our way to where God has prepared a wonderful mansion for each of His children in Heaven. Of course those who reject Christ are also just passing through this life, but they don't have a peaceful eternity to look forward to. When the line is drawn and we claim to stand on the side of God, how can we ever turn our backs on God's truth and cross the line to live like those in the world? The secular world needs to see Christians stand on God's promises without compromise, and we need to reflect God's one and only Son in our daily walk. We are to be as a guiding light. "That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;" Philippians 2:15.? It isn't always easy to stay true to God while we live in this " crooked and perverse nation", but that needs to be our desire. We need to make a daily choice to stand on God's word without compromise. "Abstain from all appearance of evil." 1 Thessalonians 5:22. In other words, don't even look like you are crossing the line into enemy territory. ?"A son honoureth his father, and a servant his master: if then I be a father, where is mine honour? and if I be a master, where is my fear? saith the LORD of hosts unto you..." Malachi 1:6a. Indeed, where is His honor, and where is the fear of the Lord? Standing firm is hardly spoken of among the throng of apathetic Christians in today's society. There are too many so called Christians preaching apostasy and living like the secular world. New Age lies, the false Gospel of the "name it and claim it" crowd, the heresy of the teaching that all faiths worship the same god, and many other lies of the devil confuse Christians who don't study God's word. These people don't even know where to draw the line, let alone know what it means to stand on the side of God. Works aren't what saves us, but they reflect our heart. If you profess Christ as your saviour your desire should be to please Him. The Bible is our guide there. God gave us His word to teach us His ways. "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." 2 Timothy 2:15. Study God's word and apply it to your life. It is your guide so that you will not be ashamed of your conduct in this life when you stand before God. After all, it is God that Christians need to please.?How can we say we honor or fear God if we won't even stand up for Him in a crowd or honor Him with our life? In chapter four of the book of Acts we are told about a time when Peter and John were arrested because they were openly preaching about Christ. They relied on the power of the Holy Spirit and they had no fear in speaking boldly for Christ. Their boldness brought many people to salvation through Christ, but it offended the Jewish leaders who refused to believe that Jesus was the Messiah. Because these leaders stood on the side of the line opposite of Christ, they were offended by God's truth. This same opposition is true today, but many Christians won't stand up for Christ. Peter and John were brought before Annas and Caiaphas who commanded them to keep silent and to stop teaching in the name of Jesus of Nazareth. Peter and John knew which side of the line they were on, and they refused to compromise their faith. They would not cross the line to the enemy's side. "But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye, For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard." Acts 4:19-20. Christians today face the same challenge of people trying to stop us from sharing our faith. Why is it that a gravestone of a Christian that displays a cross offends an atheist? Their protests cause the gravestone to be changed, yet Satan's pornographic handiwork can be displayed on television, in movies, in music, and on billboards, but Christians don't have a voice. Why are Christians silent? The answer is that many Christians live on the enemy's side of the line. They claim to be Christians because they want to go to Heaven when they die, but they don't let Christ affect their life on earth. Can these people truly have accepted Christ as their Saviour? God knows, but I wonder. We don't need to riot against the evils of this world, but if we would stand firm with Christ and stop participating in sin by turning off TV, stop going to movies that promote unbiblical ideas, etc., our voice would be heard. Our children are being taught to accept sin through cartoons and schools. Christian, if at all possible you need to home school your children. At the very least you need to test what they are being taught by God's standards and not allow your child to be confused by what the government thinks is OK. Brethren, draw the line? and plant your feet firmly on God's side.?If we love God, and I'm sure all true born again believers do, we need to stand up for our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. We are to honor God with our lives, because He purchased us with His blood. There should be nothing more important in this life than showing ourselves approved by the only One who counts. "Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not." 1 John 3:1. In this verse the word "sons" comes from the Greek word "teknon" which is a neuter noun. Most translations today use the word "children". God is our Father, we are His children. When that relationship is established, that's when the line must be drawn...that's when we need to stand on God's side of the line. When we become parents we teach our children to respect and honor their elders and honor God. As a parent, you need to live your life to reflect Christ because your children are watching. Do you give life-service or merely lip-service to the Lord? If you are standing on the wrong side of the line then you won't be the Christian example your children need in order for them to know where they should draw the line. The secular people around you are also watching. Don't compromise your Christian walk. ?Born again believers in Christ are saved by grace and we cannot do any act of religion to make ourselves more saved. The shed blood of Christ takes away your sin and we cannot add to that precious act of love. That doesn't mean you should continue in sin. "What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?" Romans 6:1-2. We make decisions everyday that affect the way the world looks at us, and those decisions need to be made with godly discernment. We are to honor God with our lives; our lives should reflect Jesus. We belong to Jesus Christ and no matter what temptations come our way, no matter what kind of adversity is thrown at us, we must stand firm. "Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away." James 4:14. The end of all things is swiftly coming on the scene. News headlines tell us that Bible prophecy is being played out daily. Whatever happens to us in this world shouldn't bring fear or cause us to deny our Lord. Honor God with your life. In these "End Times" Satan is becoming bolder in his attack on God by attacking His followers. Satanic laws are being passed that legalize sin, but that doesn't change God's truth. Satan is the ruler of this world and evil will only get worse. Brethren, stand firm on God's truth. Study Scripture and apply it to your life. Your life here matters, but your eternal life matters more.?Are you being led by the Holy Spirit or a satanic spirit? Which side of the line do you stand on? Where do you draw the line??God bless you all,?Ron & Nathele Grahamtwotug@ ron@ Previous commentaries archived at ??All original scripture is "theopneustos" God breathed.?This commentary was started by Ron Graham before his death on March 14, 2013, and finished by his wife, Nathele Graham ?If you'd like to be on my mailing list to receive the commentaries just drop me an email and let me know. ? Focus on a nuclear Iran obscures other developing nuclear threats - Yonah Jeremy Bob - US and the West have done little to update their defense doctrines for dealing with the burgeoning and evolving nuclear threats posed in other corners of the world.?The world is distracted.?The Iranian threat, as serious as it is, continues to overshadow the nuclear threats posed by the North Korea- South Korea fault line and the Pakistan-India fault line - both active this week - not to mention what experts say are new and increasingly likely scenarios of limited nuclear weapons use by Russia or China.?North and South Korea regularly have conventional military flareups, with Pyongyang frequently ready to rattle the nuclear saber as an ultimate threat.?The most recent spat over North Korean land mine blasts causing South Korean soldiers' injuries, followed by South Korean broadcasting propaganda into the North, appears to have been resolved.?North Korea has back-handedly apologized for the injuries from the land mines and the South is due to cease the broadcasts.?But many say that the opacity of the North's still relatively new leader Kim Jong- Un wielding multiple nuclear weapons still warrants more global attention than is being given.?Pakistan and India's most recent spat is still unresolved, with Monday's scheduled talks on ongoing terrorism emanating from Kashmir against India and recent heavy gunfire between the countries canceled by India at the last moment due to its anger with Pakistan for meeting with Kashmiri rebels.?In response to India's canceling the talks, Pakistan on Tuesday rattled its nuclear saber, reminding India that "it is a nuclear power" and cannot be intimidated.?Pakistan is a country with top intelligence officials who conspire with terrorists against the West. A top Pakistani nuclear scientist was likely the largest nuclear proliferator in recent memory and it already possesses 100- 120 nuclear warheads.?Yet the world has given little attention to addressing the Pakistani nuclear threat generally or even when there are blow-ups, like the recent dispute with India.?Then there are the newly unpredictable and assertive Russia and China fronts.?Russia, with up to 7,700 nuclear weapons, was thought to be stable until its Ukraine campaign. But both its conventional use of force and nuclear doctrines appear more aggressive in this new era.?Analysts are now speculating about the possibility of Russia using tactical nuclear weapons as part of a "de-escalation doctrine" if it tries to grab another former territory back, like Estonia or Latvia citing the need to protect ethnic Russians.?If the US and NATO started to rally for a counteroffensive to finally draw a line in the sand on Russian expansion, what if Russia threatened a limited nuclear response against Western military forces that crossed into the Baltic region to halt the Russian offensive? In 1995, Chinese Gen.?Xiong Guangkai famously mocked the entire NATO collective security commitments among allies, stating that the US would never risk Los Angeles to save Taipei in Taiwan from the Chinese.?Would the West really risk calling Russia's bluff simply to stay loyal to commitments to countries that left Russia's grasp 25 years ago and are not central to the EU, like Germany or France? This brings the conversation to China, holding an estimated 250 nuclear weapons, and maybe the most unpredictable of all with its rapidly expanding power.?In 1996, China fired missiles into the Taiwan Straits in response to pro-independence voices emanating from Taiwan and possibly as a planned prelude to greater action.?At the time, China ended its moves when the carrier USS Nimitz and additional ships sailed into the Straits.?Still, what if China threatened a limited nuclear strike against any US naval vessels "interfering" with an "internal" Chinese matter between China and Taiwan - since China still views Taiwan as a renegade province? Last week, China reportedly had another successful test launch of the DF-41 mobile fired nuclear missile, indicating it is near deployment.?Until now the US could count on knocking out China in a first nuclear strike, but the new mobile missile plus new submarines may upend any first strike knock-out strategy for the US.?In recent years, China has enforced a new Air Defense Identification Zone, made louder claims on parts of the South and East China Sea, including building manmade islands, one equipped with a runway for military aircraft to land.?China has also been increasing rocket and naval capabilities, such as a July report of building the largest aircraft carrier in the world, which could be used for an invasion of Taiwan - a scenario which is always part of its war games.?What if China follows Russia's lead in Ukraine and makes a sudden grab for Taiwan, challenging the West to do more to protect Taiwan than its impotent efforts to assist Ukraine? Few really fear, at least in the upcoming decades, either Russia or China promoting world conquest the way that the Soviet Union did. That means that the full-scale nuclear exchange which preoccupied Cold War theorists is still pretty much off the table.?But precisely for that reason, some say possibly too little thought has been given to countering Russian and Chinese more aggressive military moves for more limited expansion, their nuclear advancements and their potential more limited use of their nuclear capabilities.?Whether for or against the nuclear deal, no one questions the dangers of a nuclear Iran. But possibly hoping that nuclear stability will drag on as it has in recent decades, some say that the US and the West have done little to update their defense doctrines for dealing with the burgeoning and evolving nuclear threats posed in other corners of the world.History of Unmistakable Divine Wrath Serves as Warning for Fate of Nuclear Deal - By Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz -?"And I will bless those who bless you, and the one who curses you I will curse, and all the families of the earth shall be blessed in you." (Genesis 12:3)?Unmistakable divine messages can be tracked through history accompanying major world events. As US lawmakers deliberate the future of the nuclear agreement with Iran, American leaders should take a hint from history and understand the divine implications of their decisions.?We have already seen that natural phenomenon can often be seen as divinely guided. Is it a coincidence that after announcing the nuclear deal Iran was hit with an apocalyptic-like heat wave and, in a separate incident, a meteor??While the heavenly warning are clearer to some than others, a quick look at the timeline of the Israeli-Palestinian peace process and the accompanying natural disasters makes claims of coincidence lose their credibility.?October 30, 1991: US President George Bush, Sr. opened the Madrid Conference with an expectation that Israel would trade "Land for Peace". As the conference progressed, what was later called the "Perfect Storm" develops in the North Atlantic, creating the largest waves ever recorded in that region. The storm traveled 1,000 miles from east to west, defying the more natural west to east pattern. One day later, on October 31, the storm struck the New England coast with 35 foot waves crashing into the Walker's Point home of President Bush in Kennebunkport, South Maine. His home was extensively damaged.?August 23, 1992: The Madrid Conference moved to Washington DC and the peace talks resumed. One day later, Hurricane Andrew, the worst natural disaster recorded in American history, hit Florida, causing an estimated $30 billion in damage and leaving 180,000 homeless across the state.?January 21, 1998: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with US President Bill Clinton at the White House and was greeted in an unwelcoming manner. Clinton and Secretary of State Madeleine Albright refused to have lunch with him. It was later that same day that the Monica Lewinsky scandal broke out.?January 16, 1994: President Clinton met with Syria's President Hafez el-Assad in Geneva . They discussed a peace agreement with Israel that included giving up the Golan Heights. Within 24 hours, the powerful Northridge earthquake, which registered a 6.9 on the Richter scale, hit Southern California. The earthquake caused an estimated $20 billion in damage, leaving 57 people killed and over 5,000 injured.? The earthquake became the second most destructive natural disaster to hit the United States.?September 28, 1998: US Secretary of State Madeline Albright gave a press briefing describing the final details of an American brokered agreement between PLO Head Yasser Arafat and Netanyahu. According to the deal, Israel would have been required to give up 13 percent of Judea and Samaria. The same day, Georges, a category 4 hurricane, hit the United States Gulf Coast with winds of 110 mph and gusts of up to 175 mph. In terms of damage, it was the costliest hurricane since Hurricane Andrew, causing $10 billion of damage and killing 604 people.?October 15-22, 1998: Arafat and Netanyahu met at the Wye River Plantation in Maryland for five days of intensive talks as part of a continuation of Albright's plan that would force Israel to give up major areas of Judea and Samaria . On October 17, Hurricane Madeline boiled over. Though it never made landfall, the resulting rains and tornados that hit southern Texas caused over $750 million in damage and killed 31 people, affecting a quarter of the state. The storm dissipated as the meeting ended in Maryland. On October 21, Clinton declared the hard-hit areas of Texas a major disaster area.?November 30, 1998: Arafat arrived in Washington again to meet with Clinton. He proposed a Palestinian state with Jerusalem as the capital and began efforts to raise money. A total of 42 nations agreed to give Arafat $3 billion, with Clinton pledging $400 million and European nations pledging $1.7 billion. On the same day, the Dow Jones average plunged 216 points, and on December 1, the European Market had its worst day in history. Hundreds of billions of dollars of market capitalization were wiped out in the US and Europe.?December 12, 1998: Clinton landed in the Palestinian-controlled section of Israel to discuss the "land for peace" process. The House of Representatives votes four articles of impeachment against him.?May 3, 1999: Arafat was scheduled to declare an independent Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital. For two days, tornadoes ravaged the center of America, concentrated in Oklahoma and Kansas. 152 tornadoes touched down, causing $1.4 billion in damage, killing 50 and injuring almost 900 people. Arafat's declaration was postponed to December 1999 at the request of Clinton.?October 11, 1999: Jewish settlers in 15 West Bank settlements are evicted from their homes. The Dow Jones financial averages loses 5.7 percent, in the worst week since October 1989. On October 15, the Dow lost 266 points. A hurricane hits North Carolina. The next morning, October 16, a magnitude 7.1 earthquake rocks the southwest US in the fifth most powerful earthquake in the 20th century. The earthquake was centered in the California desert and did little damage but was felt in three states.?August 13, 2005: The day before the 9th of Av, commemorating the day on which both Jewish Temples in Jerusalem were destroyed, over 10,000 Jews were evicted from their homes in Gush Katif as part of the Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's "Disengagement" plan. This disengagement was due to US pressure.? Less than two weeks later, Hurricane Katrina destroyed New Orleans and other parts of Louisiana, leaving thousands of Americans homeless and killing at least 1,833. Damage was estimated at over $108 billion.Warning: Are Divine Judgments In Our Future? - Belle Ringer - ????? While everyone is focused on the volatile stock market and our economic future, I would caution that we need to be more concerned about the upcoming ratification of the so-called "Iran Nuke Deal".? I don't need to be a foreign policy expert to employ my critical thinking faculties and sense that there is nothing good that will come from this treaty ... except for the mullahs of Iran.? They have made no secret of their hate for both Israel and America, nor of their desire to wipe us both off the face of the earth.????? The lifting of economic sanctions against Iran will give their government the cash to continue their enrichment of nuclear material and eventual development of nuclear weapons, along with bankrolling the enemies of Middle East peace (think Bashar Assad, the Palestinian Authority, and ISIS).? Plus far from establishing strict inspection protocols, the deal allows the Iranians to further their policy of bureaucratic stalling and subterfuge.? It will be the same old story ... when the IAEA requests permission to inspect the nuclear sites, Iran will stall, giving themselves time to hide the evidence that they are violating the treaty, before finally giving inspectors access.????? But perhaps worst of all, this "Iran Deal" will escalate the sectarian and religious conflicts in the region.? Iran will finally gain the legitimacy of a superpower in the region, ensuring that Sunni/Shia theological rivalries will arise and threaten the balance of the entire Middle East.? There is a toxicity among these relationships, and I fear that the part we are playing by promoting this Deal will be the spark that incites the flames of hell.????? And sitting right in the middle of this combustible chaos is the nation of Israel, the apple of God's eye.? As I wrote in a 2012 article, titled America and Israel: Destinies Intertwined, we must expect Divine judgment for any curses that we, as a nation, place on Israel by our actions.? Our country has suffered a number of catastrophic natural disasters as a result of undermining the sovereignty of Israel with our foreign policy decisions.? Just in recent history, we suffered the "Perfect Storm" in 1991; Hurricane Andrew in 1992; the Northridge, CA earthquake in 1994; the devastating Texas floods in 1998; the powerful Super Tornado in 1999; and perhaps the most famous and destructive of them all, Hurricane Katrina in 2005 -- all after we pressed Israel into compromising with Palestinian demands and relinquishing territory in exchange for promised peace.? Israel gave up portions of Gaza and the Golan Heights ... but peace has never been established.? ????? We have never quite understood that the land of Israel is God's land; the place where Divine providence is especially manifest. "The eyes of the Lord... are always upon it, from the beginning of the year to the end of the year" (Deuteronomy 11:12). It is "holy" land to God; land set apart by Him for His people.? To go against that covenant is to invite not only curses upon us, but Divine judgment.????? And now this Iran Deal has the potential to go far beyond giving up a piece of the land.? It could result in the very real possibility that the Enemy of Israel (both physical and spiritual) will try to blow God's land off the face of the earth... and we will have given them the opportunity.????? I know that you have heard it spoken that the month of September may bring some huge calamity upon the world; perhaps a global economic collapse, a world war, or more natural disasters.? But I always try to look at the future through a Biblical lens, and through God's prophetic advisories.? The coming months of September, into October, bring celebrations of God's Feasts.? First will be the Feast of Trumpets, or Rosh Hashana; then Yom Kippur, also called the Day of Atonement (a time of confession and repentance); and finally, the Feast of Tabernacles, when God returns to fellowship with man on earth.? These are high holy days on God's biblical calendar; meant to focus one's heart on the mighty judgment seat of God.? The Bible tells us that on some future Feast Day in September, the trumpets will sound and the dead will rise to meet our Lord in the sky.? At the end of the Feasts, when He tabernacles with us on earth, He will set up His judgment seat, and we must all face Him for what we have done with our lives.????? Our history shows us that we have surely grieved God with our Supreme Court decisions on abortion, removing prayer from schools, and most recently, the arrogant redefinition of the God-given covenant of marriage.? When you add our partnership (with Satan's servants) to destroy Israel, we will have to answer for having contributed to the destruction of God's Land. ????? No one can say if this Iran Deal will be passed by Congress in September, and if so, whether this will be the September that we must stand before God's judgment seat.? But one thing is clear ... America is on a dangerous track away from God.? No one can deny that these are grave and serious times. We stand at a very critical crossroads.... for our nation; for our society and culture; for the world's population; for the Church; and most importantly for the existence of Israel.????? We must declare our allegiance to God and to His people, and we must pray for the deliverance of the world's leaders from the deluding spirits of the Enemy.? God has clearly shown us that His judgment follows on the heels of cursing Israel. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!?Joel 3:1-3??? "For behold, in those days and at that time, when I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem, I will gather all the nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat. And I will enter into judgment with them there, on behalf of My people and My heritage Israel, because they have scattered them among the nations and have divided up My land, and have cast lots for My people, and have traded a boy for a prostitute, and have sold a girl for wine and have drunk it."?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.

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???People Are Going Crazy - By Michael Snyder - you noticed that more Americans than ever seem to be going totally insane?? When even reporters start going on racially-motivated shooting sprees, you know that things are getting crazy in this country.? On Wednesday, most Americans were absolutely stunned to learn that a former WDBJ-TV reporter shot and killed a 24-year-old female reporter named Alison Parker and a 27-year-old male cameraman named Adam Ward right as they were in the middle of shooting a live news segment at 6:45 in the morning.? As a reporter, the shooter was known as "Bryce Williams", but his legal name was Vester Lee Flanagan II.? He fled the scene, but was later tracked down by police.? Before they could take him into custody he shot himself, and he later died at a hospital in northern Virginia.? So what would cause a talented young man to do such a thing??In the United States, we tend to put journalists up on a pedestal.? We consider them to be role models for the rest of us, and most Americans implicitly trust whatever they have to say.?But now one of our "trusted journalists" has gone on a shooting spree that was clearly fueled by racial hatred.?On Twitter, Flanagan claimed that Parker had "made racist comments" and that Ward had once complained to human resources about him.?Are those really reasons to start shooting people??Of course the truth goes much deeper than that.? Before he passed away, Flanagan had faxed a 23 page manifesto to ABC News.? In that 23 page document, it is very clear that Flanagan very much considered his actions to be part of an emerging "race war"...?In the 23-page document faxed to ABC News, the writer says "MY NAME IS BRYCE WILLIAMS" and his legal name is Vester Lee Flanagan II. He writes what triggered today's carnage was his reaction to the racism of the Charleston church shooting:?"Why did I do it? I put down a deposit for a gun on 6/19/15. The Church shooting in Charleston happened on 6/17/15..."?"What sent me over the top was the church shooting. And my hollow point bullets have the victims' initials on them."?It is unclear whose initials he is referring to. He continues, "As for Dylann Roof? You (deleted)! You want a race war (deleted)? BRING IT THEN YOU WHITE ...(deleted)!!!"?These are the ramblings of a very sick, twisted and hate-filled individual.?Why in the world can't we all just learn to love one another and respect one another??Instead, the mainstream media and many of our "national leaders" are constantly fueling racial tensions in this nation.?An atmosphere of hatred and violence is seemingly being purposely created in America, and we are starting to see some really bizarre things happen.?Another example of this phenomenon recently happened in the city of Omaha.? Two thugs stole a purse from a 76-year-old woman (which isn't that unusual), and then one of them decided it would be fun to punch her full force in the head...?Police in Omaha have arrested one of the individuals seen brutally punching a 76-year-old woman in a video that went viral earlier this week.?The incident occurred last Sunday morning at St. Cecilia's Cathedral. The elderly lady is seen on a security camera picking up a pamphlet before she is blindsided by two thugs, one of whom steals her purse. The other individual then punches the woman full force in the head. She collapses to the ground and subsequently had to be taken to hospital.?After tips poured in from the public, police arrested 22-year-old Wayman Clark, the individual seen throwing the punch in the video. The man who stole the woman's bag remains at large.?Personally, I hope those thugs get put away for a very long time.? How in the world can anyone justify treating a 76-year-old lady like that??Sadly, it isn't just street thugs and ex-reporters that are going crazy.? The truth is that we even have homicidal maniacs at the top levels of our society.? And I am not just talking about Planned Parenthood either, although I could easily do an entire series of articles about their savagery.?A recent piece by Michael Krieger pointed out the crazed statements that retired U.S. Major General Robert H. Scales made during a television interview earlier this year.? Apparently he feels that what we really need to do is to "start killing Russians" and send them back "to the motherland in body bags"...?"The only way the United States can have any effect in this region and turn the tide," Mr. Scales said, "is to start killing Russians ... killing so many Russians that even Putin's media can't hide the fact that Russians are returning to the motherland in body bags. But, given the [small] amount of support we've given to the Ukrainians, given the ability of the Ukrainians themselves to counter-attack against these, what? 12,000 Russians camped in their country...sadly that's not likely to happen."?Is it any wonder why anti-American sentiment in Russia is so strong right now??Most Americans have never even heard about that interview, but in Russia that clip is a very big deal.?These days, many Russians consider us to be trigger-happy warmongers, and that is not too far from the truth.?One of the reasons why I write articles like this is so that we will all take a very long look in the mirror and see what we have truly become.?At one time America was the most loved nation on the entire planet, but now we are regarded by much of the world as degenerate pig people that have no class at all.?It would be nice if we could actually defend ourselves against that accusation, but the truth is that our country has become a cesspool of garbage and filth.?I mean this quite literally.? Just consider what is going on in San Francisco...?San Francisco is known for its Golden Gate Bridge, world class cuisine, panoply of cultures, striking skyline, frigid fog, and homeless. More specifically, aggressive panhandling and homeless defecating and urinating in public. And sometimes doing even worse things.?And it turns out that New York City is experiencing an epidemic of public defecation as well...?Add former mayor Rudy Giuliani to the thousands of New Yorkers complaining about homelessness.?In an exclusive interview with NBC 4 New York, Giuliani revealed that he recently filed a complaint about a homeless man camped out on his East Side street.?"I myself, two weeks ago, had to go to a precinct to complain about a homeless person who was defecating and urinating," he said. "Do you know when people lived on the streets and didn't use bathrooms inside? It's called the Dark Ages."?I don't want you to think that I am coming down on homeless people, because I am not.?If you go visit major cities throughout Europe, many of them have streets that are clean as a whistle.? People simply behave differently over there.?In the U.S., everything is decaying - our language, our infrastructure, our manners, our schools, our finances, our families and our political system.?So is there any hope for the future of this nation?Zero Hour - Howard Green - Bible makes it clear....we won't know the exact time of Jesus' return.? This event of events will be swift and sudden. So how do we as believers prepare and what should we be doing to get ready? Here is what the Bible says about that time:?Mark 13:32???? "But concerning that day or that hour, no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. Be on guard, keep awake. For you do not know when the time will come.?Zero hour is primarily a military term used to denote the start time for a mission. The attempt to free the US. hostages in Tehran, the landing on Iwo Jima, and the raid on the compound used by Osama Bin Laden all had a zero hour. No more preparation, no more build up, no more warning, and no more time.......now it's zero hour. There is an exact day, hour, minute, and second when the Lord Jesus will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God to take us home to be with Him. Every opportunity we have to serve and live for Him here will be over. This will be our zero hour.?I have one goal in writing this article....and no, it's not to be labeled a false teacher because I have a special revelation on the day and hour. All kidding aside, I want to ask you a very serious question. As a believer, would you live differently if you knew exactly when Jesus was going to rapture the church? What would you do if you knew these were the last few days remaining before the biblical zero hour? I'm asking myself the same question and I'm under the Spirit's conviction because to be quite frank, my walk with the Lord would be white hot if I knew he was coming for us next month for instance. I'm walking very closely with Jesus, but I have to say if I knew His coming was in the immediate future, I would be walking even closer with Him.?If I knew Jesus was coming in a few weeks I know exactly what I would do and do right now. I would be an evangelistic powerhouse. Every Christian I would come into contact with would know that He is coming soon. I would tell them to get their minds and hearts off of the temporary pleasures of this world and pursue Jesus with everything in them. I would tell people in restaurants, in grocery stores, shopping malls, and city parks to please repent because you are going to be left behind if you haven't trusted Jesus as your savior.?I would do some hard things and risk some relationships. I wouldn't worry about political correctness, people pleasing, or coming across just right to others. I would tell my unsaved family members to cry out to the Lord and trust Him as savior. When my neighbor is talking all things grass, mail, weather, and Jr's soccer practice....I'd? turn the conversation corner to real matters of eternity and ask if they know Jesus as savior.?Luke 14:23??? And the master said to the servant, 'Go out to the highways and hedges and compel people to come in, that my house may be filled. For I tell you, none of those men who were invited shall taste my banquet.'"?I would love deeper, care intentionally, and look more diligently for opportunities to lift up Jesus in my life to the glory of God. When an unsaved coworker or friend is facing a difficult circumstance.....I won't simply give a sympathetic nod, a word of encouragement, or worldly wisdom. I will give them the life giving counsel found in the word of God and pray with them. I would boldly share the gospel and why they need Jesus desperately. I would prioritize even more time in reading the word, praying, and fasting for two reasons. First because I need to be ready to give a reason for the hope in me to others. Secondly because prayer and fasting equips us for ministry and strengthens our faith.?We need to be alert, sober, and grounded in the word? because false teaching is infiltrating the church, masquerading as true Christianity. Friends, it's true that we don't know the exact time of the Lord's return, but in light of the question we pondered and knowing how we would conduct our lives knowing His coming was at the door.....we should live like it is imminent, because it is. Here is what the Bible says about how we should live in reference to the Lord's return:?Luke 12:35??? "Stay dressed for action and keep your lamps burning, and be like men who are waiting for their master to come home from the wedding feast, so that they may open the door to him at once when he comes and knocks. Blessed are those servants whom the master finds awake when he comes. Truly, I say to you, he will dress himself for service and have them recline at table, and he will come and serve them. If he comes in the second watch, or in the third, and finds them awake, blessed are those servants! But know this, that if the master of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have left his house to be broken into. You also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect."?1 Peter 3:14??? But even if you should suffer for righteousness' sake, you will be blessed. Have no fear of them, nor be troubled, but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect, having a good conscience, so that, when you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ may be put to shame. For it is better to suffer for doing good, if that should be God's will, than for doing evil.?Romans 10:14??? How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!"?Jude 20??? But you, beloved, building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life. And have mercy on those who doubt; save others by snatching them out of the fire; to others show mercy with fear, hating even the garment stained by the flesh.?For 2,000 years.....the rapture has been the one event most anticipated by followers of Jesus. There are numerous scriptures pointing to the fact that the Lord will return for His bride. There is nothing that needs to happen before the rapture. Looking at the conditions of the world mentioned in Matthew 24, Daniel 9, and Revelation 6....we see the stage being set for the great tribulation and second coming. Doesn't it seem more evident each day that this world is nearing it's appointment with the God of the universe? Wars are increasing, social and political unrest is increasing, terror and brutality are increasing.? I once heard a pastor explain:?During the Fall season when we are in the stores and shopping malls, we begin to see Christmas lights and decorations appear on the shelves and displays, and it's not quite Thanksgiving yet. The appearance of all of the Christmas decorations are a clear indicator that Christmas is going to be here soon.....so Thanksgiving must be very near. Isn't this the same scenario with the rapture and second coming in mind??When we view geopolitical events, extreme weather, terrorism, and increased violence through the lens of scripture........it becomes clear that the second coming can't be some far off event. If we are seeing conditions that point to the nearness of? the second coming, we know the rapture of the church must come first. We must live as though Jesus might come for us at any moment.....because He can. Bible prophecy is 100% accurate and spot on. The word of the Lord is sure and you can be certain everything will happen just as he said it will because he knows the beginning and the end. Here is just one of many prophecies that point to the close of the age.?Isaiah 66:8??? "Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen such things? Can a land be born in one day? Can a nation be brought forth all at once? As soon as Zion travailed, she also brought forth her sons.?For hundreds of years, end time prophecies regarding Israel seemed far-fetched because she was not back in her ancient homeland. But true to His word, God brought the Jews back to their ancient homeland after over 1,700 years. We are living in interesting and exiting days. The Lord is coming for the church and eternity is before us. Let's walk in holiness & humility, boldness & zeal, and with the Spirit's leading....reach out to the lost. Let's live in light of:? Zero Hour.Daily Jot: Of race, terror, and heart's intent - Bill Wilson - ?The look of terror in the eyes of 24 year old TV reporter Alison Parker tenths of a second before being gunned down by a man who wanted to start a race war should be enough for anyone with a heart to say "No More" to this kind of hatred. The gunman, Vester Lee Flanagan II, 41, was an embittered man who was fired from the television station where Parker and her cameraman Adam Ward, 27, worked. Ward was also executed by Flanagan. Flanagan wrote in a suicide manifesto that he killed the victims as revenge for the Charlestown church shootings, he wanted a race war, and that he was about to explode because he faced racial and sexual discrimination as a black and gay man.?Flanagan was fired from two TV stations, both after having made numerous complaints about racism among co-workers and station management. All the allegations were deemed to be unfounded, according to sources involved. The UK Daily Mail reports that in his suicide note, Flanagan wrote: "'Yes, it will sound like I am angry...I am. And I have every right to be...'The church shooting was the tipping point...but my anger has been building steadily...I've been a human powder keg for a while...just waiting to go BOOM!!!!'" He also confesses to killing his cats, blaming the news station for the animals' deaths. And he was censured for reporting from a voting booth wearing a campaign sticker for the "president."?There is a huge difference in this crime compared with Travon Martin, Tamir Rice, Michael Brown, and Freddie Gray. There is clear evidence that that the assassination of Parker and Ward was racially motivated--the shooter admitted such. The other cases were not or have not been proven to be clearly racially motivated, but people perceived them as such. The "president," Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, the New Black Panthers, the Nation of Islam and those with ties to the Communist Party USA have all condemned the Martin, Brown and Gray cases as race-related. As of the writing of this Daily Jot, neither the "president," nor Jackson, nor Sharpton, have uttered one public word about Flanagan and his racially motivated executions--None of the usual talk of banning guns; no expression of sympathy to the families.?The racially motivated shootings at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church were condemned by a huge community of blacks and whites. There was no doubt that Caucasians stood together with their Black brethren in mourning this deplorable act. Today, silence from those who normally speak out when racism is perceived. Does this expose their true hearts? People, in God's eyes we are all part of the human race. Galatians 3:29 says, "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for you are all one in Christ Jesus." The condemnation of hatred cannot be one sided otherwise there is no ground for coming together to solve the problem. There is no trust. The "president" said he would bring people together, yet look at what we have. Let us do our part as disciples of Christ.Daily Devotion: Who Will Go? - Greg Laurie - ?"Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: 'Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?' Then I said, 'Here am I! Send me.'" - Isaiah 6:8?God said in the presence of Isaiah, "Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?" In a sense, God is still asking this question. Whom shall I send? Who will go for us? Will you go? Will you stand in the gap??If God's Holy Spirit were to search among us today, I wonder if He would find men or women willing to stand in the gap. Willing to pray. Willing to be available. Willing to reach out to those who do not know Him.?A lot of Christians will say, "I'm too timid. I'm afraid of this and that." But I think a lot of Christians don't really have a burden for those who don't know the Lord. I think if that burden is burning with enough passion, a believer will work through the obstacles. ?That is not to say there aren't things we should learn so we can share our faith more effectively. But if the burden is really there, a believer will go out and do something with it. ?The bottom line is that sharing our faith isn't really a big deal to many of us. This is why it is so important that we have a God-given burden for unbelievers.?I would rather make every mistake to be made in sharing my faith than to never do anything. At least I will hopefully learn something from my mistakes.?But when we do nothing for fear of being rejected or for fear we will not meet with resounding success, we are really missing what God has called us to do.FROM THE HEART??IF YOU HAVE BEEN BLESSED THROUGH THIS MINISTRY, THEN WE ASK THAT YOU WOULD PLEASE REMEMBER PROPHECY UPDATE IN YOUR GIVING - WE ARE TRULY,?TRULY,?THANKFUL FOR YOUR SUPPORT??Prophecy Update has no corporate sponsors.
