How Close Are We?

How close are we to the beginning of the end?

That was the question we explored on Friday night's broadcast of Right Now Radio -- a full 4 hours devoted to EVERYTHING that's going on in the Middle East right now!

RNR Week In Review (August 16th - August 20th, 2010) - PART 1

RNR Week In Review (August 16th - August 20th, 2010) - PART 2

For those who missed it, or who want a quick recap of the most important news items that were brought of for prayerful consideration, here's a sampling...

ISRAEL NOW A LAND OF UNWALLED VILLAGES!?!

For years, no matter how close the fulfillment of this prophecy seemed to be, the one hang-up, that many of us who studied this all agreed on, was what we read in verse 11. Ezekiel 38:11 says,
“You will say, ‘I will invade a land of unwalled villages; I will attack a peaceful and unsuspecting people--all of them living without walls and without gates and bars.” Prevailing wisdom concluded that even though all the other pieces appeared to be in place, Israel still wouldn’t be attacked to fulfill this major and specific prophecy UNTIL they were a land of “unwalled villages” or “without walls and without gates and bars”. Guess what? Ladies and Gentlemen, I think we missed one of the biggest signs of them all – and it was published in the press out of Israel on THE VERY SAME DAY that news broke about Israel having only 6 days left to attack Iran before the point of no return! Listen to this! Did you happen to catch the story out of Israel published on Saturday, August 14th, 2010 with the headline “Gilo Protective Wall In Israel Coming Down Sunday”. This past Sunday, the IDF began removing the wall which protected the residents of Jerusalem's Gilo neighborhood from terrorist gunfire and mortar shells. The wall was put up in 2001 when Gilo came under intense near-daily attacks from the adjacent Arab neighborhood of Beit Jalla, which had been handed over to the Palestinian Authority under Yasser Arafat, as part of the Oslo Accords. The IDF stated that the decision to remove the wall was preceded by a security assessment at Central Command, and "joint staff work by all of the professional elements" which determined that the move was a safe one. Work on removing the wall is expected to take two weeks. That means that Israel will no longer have this wall up by the end of next week! Wouldn’t that make it a direct fulfillment of Ezekiel 38:11? We better start asking that question. Ezekiel 38:10-12. "Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, [that] at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought: And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates, To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places [that are now] inhabited, and upon the people [that are] gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land." Ezekiel 38 specifically states that Israel will be a land of "unwalled villages" at the time they are attacked. Could it be this dismantling of Israel's protective walls is the beginning of the fulfillment of Ezekiel's prophecy?

IS THIS THE HOOK IN THE JAW THAT CAUSES THEM TO TAKE A SPOIL!?!

In Deuteronomy 33:24 we read,
"And of Asher he said, [Let] Asher [be] blessed with children; let him be acceptable to his brethren, and let him dip his foot in oil." Folks, God's Word ALWAYS comes true! Hopefully, I don’t have to remind you of that, but in case you do need more proof, I want to talk about another thread that appeared in the mainstream news just yesterday. On August 19th, 2010, it was reported that Israel discovered 1.5 billion barrels of oil! My dear friends, this is a DIRECT FULFILLMENT of prophecy! There is another MAJOR PROPHECY contained in the Bible that very few Christians are even aware of let alone acknowledge. People are finally starting to come around to the knowledge of Psalm 83 and the war that it speaks of thanks to Bill Salus’ excellent book Isralestine. This other prophecy concerns Israel and the prophesied discovery of oil that will make her one of the richest nations in the world during the last days. Again, according to several Bible scholars and some prominent oil experts, Israel is sitting on a mother-lode of petroleum. Interestingly enough, a company by the name of “Zion Oil & Gas Inc.” is already well on their way to making this prophesied discovery. Even more amazing is the fact that the company's founders created the organization IN DIRECT RESPONSE to these ancient prophecies! Many of you will recall that Psalm 83/Gog-Magog Special Report we did in which we attempted to share with you, several months ago, all the latest coming out of Israel regarding the discovery of oil and natural gas by Zion Oil & Gas, as well as the specifics concerning this ancient prophecy itself when we shared with you the content of James and Steve Spillman’s book titled “Breaking The Treasure Code: The Hunt For Israel's Oil. The best way I can describe the book and what it has to say about this important prophecy is to share what is written on the second page of the Spillman’s book. "This book is a story of a treasure hunt; possibly the most important treasure hunt in our history, Not just because of the size of the treasure; but because of the implications of its discovery. When this treasure comes to the surface the world will change. Its unearthing may herald the end of this age of man and the beginning of a new age." (Breaking The Treasure Code, Page 2). I think that the prophecy surrounding the major discovery of oil in Israel in the end times is the most often ignored aspect of end times Bible prophecy that there is. Thankfully, the Spillmans have answered the call by providing us with an anointed and expert analysis of this ancient and breathtaking prophecy. Anyone with the gift of discernment can clearly see that it's a prophecy whose fulfillment is truly imminent. Which brings us back to yesterday’s headline. Israel has discovered 1.5 billion barrels of oil! It goes without saying that such a discovery sets the stage for war for all the reasons previously discussed each week on RNR over the past few months. That’s why I believe this is the “hook in the jaw” that we read about that draws Israel’s enemies to “take a spoil”. Estimates of the amount of oil in the Rosh HaAyin discovery have risen to 1.5 billion barrels, and there is more oil off-shore, but it is not yet known how much of the "black gold" can be extracted for commercial use. The new estimate, along with the gas and oil finds off the Mediterranean Coast, raises the likelihood that Israel will be self-sufficient for energy for THE 30 YEARS and even become an exporter of gas! People, that completely shifts the balance of power in this world especially with the current global energy crisis, doesn’t it? The amount of oil at Rosh HaAyin represents a tiny percentage of Israel's oil consumption, but development is continuing in the area as well as in the Dead Sea. Economists have noted that the discoveries will have a huge impact on society, creating more jobs and strengthening the Shekel against world currencies. Again, the Bible is clear. It says that in the end times, Israel creates a great wealth that is so tempting that Russia and a group of Arab nations attempt to invade Israel and "take a spoil". I think we’d all agree that this could very well be the “hook” that entices those nations to attack Israel to “take a spoil”, right? ***UPDATE: The truth is what matters so I must inform all of you that since airing this information on Friday night I have learned that there are conflicting reports when it comes to this specific story, which you can read about at length HERE if you'd like.***

WORLDWIDE EARTHQUAKE WHEN GOD SUPERNATURALLY DESTROYS GOG-MAGOG FORCES!?!

If the fulfillment of the Gog-Magog prophecy is truly imminent, then there’s something else we should expect to coincide with God’s supernatural protection of Israel and His defeat of the invading forces: A WORLDWIDE EARTHQUAKE! Ezekiel 38:19-20 says,
"For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel; So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground." Of course, that doesn’t seem so far-fetched at the moment, does it? Who would deny that the world has been shaking mightily lately? Actually, one headline that just hit the wires says that strong earthquakes along the San Andreas fault in southern California are more frequent than previously thought, so the dreaded "Big One" could be just around the corner, according to US researchers who published their study Friday. They even say that the next "Big One" could happen at any time. The scientists on Friday provided an abstract of their study, which will be published in full in the September 1st issue of the magazine Geology.

That was only the news that seemed to connect directly with what the Word of God tells us. If we stopped there in our studies that would be more than enough to suggest where we are on God's prophetic timeline I think. But there was additional information in the press this past week -- news of both a secular and a symbolic nature related to this same VERY IMPORTANT subject -- that should raise some eyebrows too.

A TIP-OFF THAT WAR IN THE MIDDLE EAST IS COMING?

I think it’s truly pertinent given what we saw take place right before the BP Gulf Crisis. Remember all the insider trading, the selling of stock options and such, that indicated that The-Powers-That-Be knew what was coming? Guess what? I think we’re seeing the SAME THING now in the run-up to the fulfillment of these prophecies and a major war in the Middle East. Is it a tip-off? Has someone given convincing inside information to the Board at Harvard?
Because they just dumped every penny in Israeli stock holdings that they have! Is Harvard preparing for the war that is about to break out in the Middle East? Funny, because NO REASON for the sale was mentioned in the report to the SEC. Let me see if I can help fill in the blanks and explain the reasons why. See, sensing war, Harvard University Fund sold all – not just some, but all – Israel holdings! You ALWAYS follow the trail of money with this Satanically-inspired “kings of the earth” – ALWAYS! this was reported by the mainstream news on August 15th, 2010 – OR JUST 1 DAY AFTER THE NEWS BROKE ABOUT THE WALLS COMING DOWN IN ISRAEL AND THE NEWS ABOUT IRAN’S NUCLEAR FACILITY BEING ACTIVATED A WEEK LATER! That’s not a coincidence. That’s a pattern that demonstrates to me that those beholden to Satan in this world – whether they are consciously aware of it or not – know what’s coming. That’s a pattern that tells me that the Lord seems to be preparing the world stage for what He’s going to allow Satan to achieve, but only because it will ultimately fulfill His plans for humanity just as we read about them throughout the pages of the Bible. Do you see why this week has been like none other in recent memory? I mean, yes, there were other things going on that had prophetic relevance, but they didn’t involve Israel, or all speak to the fulfillment of a single, ancient end times prophecy like these stories all did.

JOEL C. ROSENBERG AND PREDICTIVE PROGRAMMING!?!

You know, we spend so much time talking about “Predictive Programming” as it’s found in Pop Culture that I’d be remiss if I didn’t share with you some stunning facts about the fictional geo-political bestsellers by Joel C. Rosenberg. Not just in the titles of the books, but the scenarios described too! It’s really wild! Before I read it to you, I want to ask that you remind yourself of all the things that were in the news this past week that we just looked at together because this is strange. Here’s a short description I found online. Get a load of this! “The first page of his first thriller, The Last Jihad, put readers inside the cockpit of a hijacked jet, coming in on a kamikaze attack into an American city …
but it was written 9 months before September 11, 2001. As Jihad unfolds, an American president finds himself in a war with Saddam Hussein over terrorism and weapons of mass destruction … but it was published 5 months before the actual war with Iraq began. Rosenberg's second novel, The Last Days, opens with the death of Yasser Arafat and an American president pressing for peace in the Middle East … but it was published 13 months before the actual death of Yasser Arafat. Now comes The Ezekiel Option, an explosive new political thriller that literally feels ripped from tomorrow's headlines. With Saddam Hussein and Yasser Arafat out of the way, a dazzling era of security and prosperity seems to have come to the Middle East. With the help of an American president trying to spread freedom and democracy, Israel and the Palestinians have signed an historic peace agreement after oil is found in Israel. Violence is down. Their economies are booming. But a new evil looms on the horizon. A dictator is rising in Russia. Iran is feverishly building nuclear weapons. A new Axis of Evil is emerging, led by Moscow and Tehran. And Jon Bennett and Erin McCoy—two senior White House advisors—find themselves facing the most chilling question of their lives: Is the world rushing to the brink of an apocalypse prophesied more than 2,500 years ago?” It’s weird enough that every single one of Rosenberg’s books would ACCURATELY pre-date real-world events, but it’s even weirder how this last book of his, The Ezekiel Option, not only references the very Book of the Bible that we just spent a ton of time studying, but that it’s storyline MIRRORS AND RESONATES WITH EVEYTHING WE’RE SEEING IN THE POLITICAL ARENA TODAY! “A dazzling era of security and prosperity seems to have come to the Middle East…”? Isn’t that PRECISELY what the Obama administration has been trying to convince us of with the President’s Arab Initiative speech in Cairo, Egypt and his numerous attempts to reach out to the Muslim world and community both abroad and here in the US? You bet it is! “With the help of an American President trying to spread freedom and democracy…”? Yep, no argument from me on that either! This last one is fascinating in light of the news presented earlier about Israel’s discovery of 1.5 billion barrels of oil…”Israel and the Palestinians have signed an historic peace agreement after oil is found in Israel…”? Really? The story takes place in 2014, but here we are in 2010 and we’re seeing it all manifest already! In his previous book, The Last Days, very large oil deposits were discovered in Israel and what the world considered “occupied territories”, and a peace treaty was proposed between Israel and the Palestinians which setup a joint oil production company and made every Israeli and Palestinian a shareholder (making them instantly rich). It’s just so ridiculous to see the accuracy and thematic consistency – even when he’s loosely using the Bible has his guide – because the book, The Ezekiel Option, was written in 2005, or a full 5 years ago, and now we’re seeing the things described in that work of fiction manifesting here in the real-world. Case in point, that news about the discovery of 1.5 billion barrels of oil in Israel was in the news yesterday. What did we see today, or less than 24 hours later? NEWS ABOUT PEACE TALKS! ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?! A DAY LATER!?! REALLY!?! YES, REALLY! Plunging into the Mideast peacemaker's role that has defeated so many U.S. leaders, and I pray that all of you reading this know why that is, President Barack Obama on Friday invited Israel and the Palestinians to try again.



After months of indirect negotiations, Palestinian and Israeli leaders plan to launch direct peace talks in on September 2nd.The US, which is organizing the meeting, says talks should be completed within 1 year. The first face-to-face talks in almost 2 years will begin without preconditions. The meeting between Binyamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, and Mahmoud Abbas, the president of the Palestinian Authority, will take place in Washington, DC. Hosni Mubarak, the Egyptian president, Jordan's King Abdullah II, and Tony Blair, the quartet representative, will also be present for parts of the negotiations. The US says the creation of a Palestinian state is vital for American security interests. The Quartet even issued a statement which reaffirms their support for direct negotiations. I have to point out how crazy it was that this happened today because it was only yesterday in a piece I published on Look Up Fellowship where I asked everyone to go back and look at a study we did in December 2008 that talked about all of this -- President Barack Obama (just 1 month after he won the Election and before he was inaugurated), Israel the Palestinians and the Middle East, and the coming Antichrist, but mainly how there is VERY GOOD REASON TO BELIEVE that this who concept of their needing to be a
“peace treaty” signed to signal to Christians, “Hey! Look at me! I’m the Antichrist!” could very well be incorrect and un-Biblical, which means it could be a red herring, especially if we look at what those key prophetic verses say in the Septuagint version of the text! To see what I mean, mainly the uncanny manner in which a nearly 2-year-old report from December 2008 came up out of nowhere, and prior to the news out of the Middle East this past week let alone this RNR broadcast, please refer to the following studies. If you want to cut-to-the-chase, then just go straight to Part 2...

The Antichrist's Checkmate? - PART 1 (December 2008)

The Antichrist's Checkmate - PART 2 (December 2008)

Why do I assume that there has to be something significant about the timing of this coming up now almost 2 years later and all of a sudden? Ready for this? Because, again, when I went back myself and re-read those columns, I was ABSOLUTELY SHOCKED to find out that they all focused in on Barack Obama -- before he was inaugurated as President and even served a single day in office (it was only a month after he had won the Election)! -- and his administration's supposed "secret" pledge to provide Israel with a "nuclear umbrella" against the threat of a nuclear attack by Iran! Thus, the U.S. will declare that an attack on Israel by Tehran would result in a devastating U.S. nuclear response against Iran! In addition, it also ties Revelation 6:1-2 with the Psalm 83 War! What are the odds of this kind of "spiritual convergence" especially this week with all the tension in the Middle East over Israel's response to Iran's nuclear plant going operational? All I’m asking is that we consider the possibility and that you study the evidence for yourself because if that’s truly the case, then it means that those of us who have suspected all along that we’ve been being intentionally force-fed an “Antichrist-type” in President Barack Obama are on to something. Who knows! Maybe that’s the point! Maybe The-Powers-That-Be want us to think he’s THE GUY so that when the REAL Man of Sin comes onto the scene he will be revered and treated as our Savior, and even the Elect who are deceived will worship him as such because they quote-unquote “are positive Obama was the Antichrist” because he was the one who "signed a peace treaty" between Israel and Palestine. Matthew 24:24 “For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect--if that were possible.”


FLOTILLA FARCE PART 2: CYPRUS AND MARY SYMBOLISM AGAIN!?!

In another study in symbolism, news about the latest attempt to bait Israel with another flotilla. Israel informed the United Nations Friday that it reserves the right to use force to stop a new aid flotilla from reaching the blockaded Gaza Strip. The Bolivian-flagged all-women cargo ship “Mariam” is about to violate the existing naval blockade of Gaza. Israel also has information that another vessel, the Naji al-Ali, plans to leave from a Lebanese port with the aim of violating the blockade. Two quick comments here…Bolivia is not only a nuclear power, but she (along with Turkey) also signed the Tehran Declaration with Iran back in May 2010 in direct response to this nuclear standoff (and at the request of the US even!). So, Bolivia is now a nuclear power and they’ve recently established diplomatic relations with Iran. That fact shouldn’t be ignored in this developing saga. In addition, do you all remember that RNR Special Report we did on Cyprus and Mary Symbolism during the Pope’s trip to the island nation? Get this! The Mariam, that Bolivian-flagged cargo ship, was originally named “Junia Star”, but the vessel was recently renamed in honor of the Virgin Mary! I kid you not! I mean, what in the world are the odds of that? We might want to keep a close eye on that too because a few other curious facts about this latest attempt to sail to blockaded Gaza caught my eye. For instance, the cargo ship is carrying just women. Could you imagine how intense the international outcry would be if Israel were to board the ship and blood was spilled? All we’d hear would be how vicious and inhuman the Israelis are for attacking poor, defenseless women. Plus, I read that local pop star May Hariri is supposed to be on board. Think about the rage that would ensue if a well-known American pop star was hurt or, God forbid, killed in what the world would call “a peaceful protest”. I don’t know, something stinks about this one. Could this be what Arab sources were talking about when they said a "major surprise" was coming? Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak warned last month that Israel would intercept any ship nearing Gaza, and said the Beirut government would be held responsible for allowing flotillas to depart from its shores for Gaza, which is run by the Islamist terrorist group Hamas. Of course, Lebanon and Israel remain technically at war and have no diplomatic ties or maritime links. The cargo ship plans to leave from northern Lebanon for Cyprus on Sunday at 10:00pm in case you want to add this to your spiritual radar.

GOD'S DIVINE, RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENT TO PUNISH THE "BAD EGGS" ON EARTH!?!

Isn’t it also interesting to see news about “bad eggs” dominate the headlines today? I don’t have much to say about this except how uncanny it is that this would be happening AT THE SAME TIME the world is holding its collective breath over the very real possibility of global nuclear war. The last I checked a few hours ago, the “Great Egg Recall of 2010” has affected 550 million eggs – over half a billion eggs -- and officials are bracing for that number to grow! Why in the world am I bringing this up? What the heck does this have to do with what we’re talking about tonight? Again, I know that any study of symbolism we find in the world around us is highly subjective, but I gotta tell you, I saw this story and IMMEDIATELY when I saw the numbers of hundreds of millions affected I thought to myself how that could be the number of people affected – killed – worldwide in the event of a global nuclear war. Then when I thought about how such an event, assuming that’s what we’ll see when Psalm 83 and/or Gog-Magog is fulfilled, will be the result of the divine and righteous judgment of the Lord in response to the world’s unrepentant sins. In other words, those wars will get rid of a lot of “bad eggs” in this world so-to-speak; the unregenerate sinners. Forgive me if that’s a sick analogy, but that’s what I thought of when I saw that in the news this week.

ALBERT PIKE'S LETTER ABOUT FUTURE WORLD WARS DATED WHEN!?!

Last but not least, in recent weeks, we've looked at numerous examples of how events in this world are somewhat orchestrated by an elite group of men and women in positions of great power and influence "behind-the-scenes" so to speak. Their existence is no longer in question. What is still up for debate is the "Why?". That is to say, "Why do they do the things that they do in this world? What's their end game?" Despite what we know from the Bible, about their master being Satan, and about our Sovereign Lord allowing their evil plans to succeed from time-to-time in order to fulfill His own plans, do we really know why they do what they do? This “Brotherhood of Darkness”, as Dr. Stanley Monteith calls it, makes it possible to understand the unfolding of world events. Which evil group -- if any -- is really in control? All they all committed to the same nefarious goal for society? Where does this drive and lust for power and control come from? In the final analysis, our government, or factions of it, (in tandem with other governments from around the world) have been doing many of the things a majority of the people disapproves of -- to advance an agenda that we know is evil because it was prophesied long ago. In other words, they are serving a different god than you and me. I’m suggesting that the movements working to create a New World Order, which is otherwise known as the prophesied One-World Government that will be used by the future Antichrist to exert total control over the entire world, is almost complete. I say “almost” because one of the key components to necessary to establishing this “New World Order” born out of chaos is a Third World War, or what the world will view as such. Not many people know about the intimate plans of Albert Pike and the architects of the New World Order. In the 19th Century, Albert Pike established a detailed framework for bringing about the One World Order. Based on a vision revealed to him by a demonic entity, Albert Pike wrote a blueprint of events that would play themselves out in the 20th Century with unbelievable specificity considering Pike’s plans were written in the 1800s. It is this blueprint which I believe the seen and unseen leaders are following today -- knowingly or not -- to engineer the planned Third and Final World War. He served as a Brigadier-General in the Confederate Army, but is most infamously known as being a 33rd Degree Mason. Pike was said to be a Satanist, who indulged in the Occult, and he apparently possessed a bracelet which he used to summon Lucifer, with whom he had constant communication. He was the Grand Master of a Luciferian group known as the Order of the Palladium (or Sovereign Council of Wisdom), which had been founded in Paris in 1737. Albert Pike received a vision, which he described in a letter that he wrote to a friend by the name of Mazzini, dated August 15th, 1871. INCREDIBLY, IT WAS AUGUST 15TH, 2001, OR THE SAME EXACT DAY, WHEN THE TALKING HEADS TO TO THE AIRWAVES AND BEGAN BEATING THE DRUM FOR WAR IN THE MIDDLE EAST BETWEEN ISRAEL (ALONG WITH THE WEST) AND IRAN (ALONG WITH THE ARAB NATIONS)! This letter graphically outlined plans for 3 World Wars that were seen as necessary to bring about the One World Order, and we can marvel at how accurately it has seemed to predict events that have already taken place. I don’t want to spend any time on his writings about the First and Second World Wars, but instead want to address what he wrote about the necessary Third World War. Pike wrote the following: "The Third World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences caused by the ‘agentur’ of the ‘Illuminati’ between the political Zionists and the leaders of Islamic World. The war must be conducted in such a way that Islam (the Moslem Arabic World) and political Zionism (the State of Israel) mutually destroy each other. Meanwhile, the other nations, once more divided on this issue, will be constrained to fight to the point of complete physical, moral, spiritual and economical exhaustion…We shall unleash the Nihilists and the atheists, and we shall provoke a formidable social cataclysm which in all its horror will show clearly to the nations the effect of absolute atheism, origin of savagery and of the most bloody turmoil. Then everywhere, the citizens, obliged to defend themselves against the world minority of revolutionaries, will exterminate those destroyers of civilization, and the multitude, disillusioned with Christianity, whose deistic spirits will from that moment be without compass or direction, anxious for an ideal, but without knowing where to render its adoration, will receive the true light through the universal manifestation of the pure doctrine of Lucifer, brought finally out in the public view. This manifestation will result from the general reactionary movement which will follow the destruction of Christianity and atheism, both conquered and exterminated at the same time." Since September 11th, 2001, world events, and in particular in the Middle East, show a growing unrest and instability between Modern Zionism and the Arabic World. But we don’t even have to go that far back. All we have to do is turn on the news right now and listen to all the heated rhetoric regarding the standoff between Iran and Israel, or nothing more than the fulfillment of end times prophecy. What about the Mosque near Ground Zero debate? Isn’t it interesting that this becomes a MAJOR TALKING POINT and a lightning rod for anti-Islamic sentiment AT THE SAME TIME that the world is gearing up to mobilize in a war with Iran? Maybe now we know why people are so confused that a US President would go out of his way to support something so anti-American, not to mention something so offensive to the memory of those who lost their lives on 9/11. Could he be following a blueprint, a script, as a puppet of the CFR, Illuminati, Satan? Folks, all of this is completely in line with what the Bible has to say about what’s coming, and completely in line with the call for a Third World War to be fought between the two sides, and their allies on both sides. It’s so deceptive because non-Christians will read about Pike and these Secret Societies and their plans for Three World Wars on the road to a New World Order, and they’ll think that man is in control. No. Man is not sovereign. God is sovereign. If this so-called blueprint for the New World Order by the Satanists, the Luciferians, exists it’s because God has allowed it to exist for some purpose that only He is ware of. When Psalm 83 and Gog-Magog are fulfilled the world will probably think that it was World War III. Maybe they’ll even think that it was the prophesied Battle of Armageddon itself. Those loyal to our common enemy will think they are somehow masters of their own destiny. But, in reality, it’s all just the very beginning of the end with worse yet to come. God is in complete control and He will have His final say. This Third World War is still to come, and current events show us that it is not far off, and we know that it will only be the beginning.

What do you think about all of this?

Are the above news items that broke this past week the BEGINNING of the fulfillment of Psalm 83 and Ezekiel 38 and 39? Take it all to the Lord in prayerful consideration.

In the meantime, cling to Jesus, cling to the Word, and cling to your faith in what promises to be a chaotic world in the days and weeks ahead.

It’s unreal to think about all of the "spiritual convergence" we’re seeing these days. It’s even more unreal that anyone could look at these same signs and see something completely different, or not see the importance in them at all.

My dear friends, aside from evangelizing the lost with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, we are also instructed to watch and pray for His return. Jesus chastised the Pharisees for not knowing the signs of the times in His day. So, He wants to us know the signs of His Second Coming today, for they instill in us hope for the future and encourage us to evangelize the lost while there is still time for us to do so.

Even so, while a study of this kind is vital to all Christians, the one and only thing that truly matters the most to us is our current relationship with Jesus Christ.

Regardless of what does or doesn’t happen in the Middle East, the things we’ve been hearing all week long are a DIRECT AND POWERFUL fulfillment of Jesus’ own clues He gave us recorded in the Gospels about what to look for when identifying the end times...

Matthew 24:6 (KJV) And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

The prophetic puzzle pieces are everywhere and they’re so profound, so specific, that once you take the time to put them all together, you’re left with only one logical conclusion, and that is that we’re are on the cusp…the precipice…the verge…of the start of Daniel’s 70th Week, or the final 7 years, and that the beginning of the end, the Tribulation, is about to start with the fulfillment of the Psalm 83 War and the Gog-Magog Attack and Attempted Invasion.

By all means, keep looking up!

Hi JRed:

I haven't commented here in awhile and this comment really isn't directly related to your article today but I felt that I should share it with you because of your ability to see symbolism in so many things, let alone out and out in your face occult. I also wanted to share this because I live in Rochester, NY, your neighbor, and I thought perhaps you may want this information regarding your studies and for pusposes of intercession for our region. It is an article at the Open Scroll blog regarding Rochester International Airport. When I saw this I was overwhelmed, as I thought I was alone with this heavy burden for prayer regarding these entities and spiritual powers governing this area but I also realized I could share this with you and with one other blog I attend. Thanks so much for taking time to read this and I hope it is helpful for whatever research and studying you may do as well. God bless you and your family and Buffalo, NY. Amen!

Lisa,

Thanks for stopping by and for commenting. All the glory, honor, and praise is certainly the Lord's!

Yes! I had one other person tell me I need to see that study about Rochester's airport so I will definitely plan on checking it out and doing something here on that for LUF readers.

Thanks again and God bless!

In Christ,

Jeff, this is an excellent synopsis of what is going on in the world currently! Rather than fear the events to come, we should be filled with hope that Our Lord and Savior is almost here! The Lord bless you and your family and the work that you are doing!

JRed, in response to your question "How Close Are We?" one phrase based on scripture keeps reverberating in my mind. "look up for your redemption is near!" has become "look up for your redemption IS HERE!"

Jeff, it is interesting that Albert Pike revealed the true intention of the NWO; namely to pit everyone against each other in mutual destruction. This reminds me of the revealing videos that you placed on the site last week of the ex-KGB member who pretty much said the same thing. According to him, opposing groups here in the US were actually funded to foment discord and chaos. That is why we can't trust the news media alone for accurate information since most of it is owned by the NWO. Also they help to create animosity between groups such as is happening right now with the mosque controversy. They are causing people to be angry due to faulty information. First of all, the building is not on Ground Zero. I'm from New York City and Park Place is not even on the Ground Zero site. Those who would sow discord are saying that it is close to Ground Zero since the city blocks are smaller in the area. This is a stretch of the facts as far as I can see it and I refuse to be pulled into the controversy that they are manufacturing. They are just trying to pit one group against another as an order out of chaos event. My prayer is that as Christians, we choose to see through this scam and pray and refuse to hate. We are called to love our enemies and this is a good test for us to practice what we believe. We can overcome evil with good. My prayer is also that the Islamic group will decide to move to another location out of sensitivity to those who lost loved ones on 9/11, which will do much to bring healing to this situation.

From an email I received...

"Hope you don't mind if I ask you a question about your latest post. There are the scripture that talk about the invasion of the unwalled, ungated Israel.... and then at the end of the scripture about the mighty earthquake it says that all the walls will fall down. Could the earthquake be what causes Isreal to be completely unwalled and vulnerable to attack. I saw the article from the news about the wall coming down over the next two weeks, but doesn't the scripture talk about all of Isreal being without walls? Just wondering out loud and wanted to know what you thought. Blessings, Susanna"

My reply...

"You know, sometimes even with all the researching and studying I do I still end up missing the obvious! Thank you Susanna for bringing that up and pointing that out. I also agree that 'all of Israel' needs to be unwalled to fulfill this prophecy, which is why I believe it's the BEGINNING of the fulfillment of Ezekiel 38-39. Again, thanks for writing and God bless you."

In Christ,
Jeff ("JRed")

“Who knows! Maybe that’s the point! Maybe The-Powers-That-Be want us to think he’s THE GUY so that when the REAL Man of Sin comes onto the scene he will be revered and treated as our Savior”.

What if they wanted to make it so obvious the we would think “no it can’t be it too obvious, so that we don’t keep an eye on him? Just a thought. Also heres a fundraising coming up in oz.

Hi: It's been a while since I posted a comment here (and those were only a sentence or two); but I do read this blog daily. I would like to comment on the question about Ezekiel 38:11. I have been following prophecy for 30 plus years and that has always been a problem verse; also Revelation 6:12-17.

I firmly believe that God has raised up several men in these last days to answer some of these questions. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND two books that have helped me to come to an understanding of the possible sequence of events. Isralestine by Bill Salus explains how Israel could possibly be considered having unwalled villages and at peace is because they will soundly defeat their "neighbors" during the prophecied Psalm 83 war. This book is a tremendous read.

The other book (actually two books) that have had a tremendous impact on my previous thinking are by David Lowe. His two books are very inexpensive ebooks and are the result of an intensive study on Revelation 4 thru 6. I wish I could "SHOUT IT FROM THE ROOFTOPS" for people to read these books: "Earthquake Ressurection" and "Then His Voice Shook the Earth". His study brought him to the conclusion that when the trumpet voice of God calls the "dead in Christ" in 1 Thessalonians 4:16 that it will cause worldwide earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, et. His reasons are extremely compelling.

By the way, I do not know either of these men and only heard about them a few months ago--so, I am not selling their books. Again, I am convinced that God gave them these messages for His bride at this particular time.

ok.. i ll post very carefully phrased than.
We all remember the 'iran nuclear option. Last year, it was said that 'within five years, they ll have nuclear'. Than 'within two years'... 'within months'...and now, since 21/8 , its there.

It doesnt matter if the reactor is working, or not - probably its not. The point is, that the world saw that they háve one -
and the world will remember that, when they are told that the soon-to-detonate-bombs on american and israel soil (though the latter somewhere in an inimportant desert) were caused by iran.

Edom closed the trap,
since last friday.
..and its but a matter of days.

Now i m curoius if you will post this.
Bless our Lord,
Lone

Lone, why the contentious attitude, my friend? I will reiterate to you that I have never censored your comments, and have only rejected something like 3-4 comments ever in the course of 2 years here. I'm sorry you feel as if your voice hasn't been heard. In the future, if the same thing happens, simply email me right away the comments you want posted and I will manually put them up here for you if I have to. Keep the faith! Don't lose hope! Keep looking up no matter what happens over the next few days, weeks, months.

In Christ,
Jeff ("JRed")

I've caught up on reading here: Good stuff, my friend. Also, missed that stuff about the flu, so good catch there; this fall is going to be like a world gone crazier than ever if 'the elite' have their way. I wonder how the ppl who had the H1N1 vaccine tie into what we may see this fall??
Thanks for your vigilance and hard work.

...because i love you and your readers - for two years already - its as simple as that Jeff.
And its ok to speculate about symbolism, pantheons and those.
- but its dangerous, when Truth is given a.. certain direction by suggestion.

F.i, the above 'unwalled villages' part, is not about any present country, at áll. The Bible explains itself: in one of the little prophets is mentioned this phrase also, and its clear this place is New Eden.

F.i, the 'hook in the jaw' part;
first, why would the Lord need something dirty like 'oil', in another spiritual plane/dimension like the New Eden ? (even aliens/ac can do without it..?)
- secondly, if Scripture explains Scripture, than there must be another verse that tells about Asher and the oil. There ísnt - so, this is a nice verse but searched (invented) to support a certain beliefsystem: not searched to support Scriptural Truth.
- thirdly, the 'hook in jaw', whát is it that makes people want to think that Russia desires that little country..? - she doesnt.
It s a nice find, that 'bad russia would want to destroy us' - because invention of a common enemy gives some coherence to the own beliefsystem of a certain group - thats all.
But when one would consider the meaning of 'hook in jaw' as satan (from his residence, the north) with his human-deluded-slaves attacking the New Eden,
than 'the jaw and hook' wóuld make sense.... as well as the Lord promise 'to be around His Own as a ring of fire'..

Than
even you mention Pike,
it IS not about 'an upcoming war between israel and iran'. That would suggest Two Opposing Camps.
...that is not true.
All camps in this world belong to eachother - whatever they are named. Thats part of the (beginning of)the GreatDeception. And they are all opposed in unity, towards Him.

So, a lot of Scripture is being used, in mainstream-christianity, to support a present situational belief -
meaning, they "follow situations in the world ", falsely justifieng those situations,
..thats why satan only has to create a certain situation in the world, and add the 'correct' verses to them.
And he rules the christian, too, who believes it.

..while the intént of those verses
are at a totally more Majestic level...like our Lord is :)

Lone, in time you seem to surpass yourself with almost grotesque inventions of new forms of -in my opinion unbiblical and mason/christian- replacement theology. Now you even spiritualize simple bible verses about walled villages, the 'hook in the jaw', etc.. Why always searching for a double, hidden 'spiritual' meaning when the bible is clearly talking about the obvious fulfillment of literally hundreds of prophecies about the return of the 'holy people' (in O.T. Daniël times there was only one holy people: the Jews) to their land. It doesn't matter if you think there not really Jews but 'Edom'; this has been rebuked over and over again by jewish, christian ánd independent scholars as well.

I hardly understand why you have become more extreme over the time in believing this illuminati-invented lie, first proposed by Adam Weishaupt and rewritten in the 'protocols of the learned elders of zion' - an anti-zionist freemason propaganda booklet, meant to discredit the biblical prophecies and to prevent the return of the jews to their promised land. It failed -by divine intervention-, but these satanic poisonous lies have now been adopted by almost all muslims, atheists, leftists, one-world globalists, universalists and deceived pro-palestinian 'spiritual israël' christians, who consistently deny the special position of the Jewish people, despite their rejection of our Lord.

(PART 2 of reaction see below, split due to error message)

PART 2:

But keep in mind the prophet Ezechiël (chapter 37), when he prophesized about the return of the Jews to Israël, clearly stated that they would first became flesh, but without spirit. Only later they would receive 'spirit' (Holy Spirit). There's no indication about the amount of time between these two events; it's my firm conviction they first returned to their land in 1948, leaded by God, but have still not received 'spirit' (except some 15.000 - 20.000 messianic Jews). Ez.37:21 has been fullfilled, but the remainder of the prophecy not. This will happen in a time of great tribulation, when they will be attacked by mostly arab/muslimcountries and indeed, possibly Russia as well. Then they will cry out to Him and He will show Himself to them, and they will weep about Him like about a firstborn child.

And what about the prophecies of Zacharia? These are clearly about the Jews, NOT about christians (they weren't even there by some 550 years). So it's litteral, a litteral Jerusalem which will become a 'cup of trembling' to 'all the people round about'. The litteral siege will be against 'Judah and Jerusalem', but then litteral Israël 'shall devour all the people round about, on the right hand and on the left: and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place.' (chapter 12) So Israël will destroy the upcoming attackers, possible even with nuclear weapons (devour = complete destruction). Again: why spiritualize, when the explanation is so obvious? The only reason I can think of is that you can and will not accept Israël as the fulfillment of Bible prophecy, because you seem to reject that God is still faithfull to His promises to the litteral Jews.

So I don't expect you to believe these are litteral prophecies. Maybe when it will happen right before your eyes (within the next few years, or even sooner?), you will. Time will tell.
