“Now
the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country,
and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I
will shew thee:
2 And I will
make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name
great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
3 And I will
bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in
thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.” (Genesis 12:1-3)
8 “For thus
saith the Lord of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me
unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you toucheth
the apple of his eye.
9 For, behold, I
will shake mine hand upon them, and they shall be a spoil to their
servants: and ye shall know that the Lord of hosts hath
sent me.” (Zechariah 2:8-9)
“ I
will
also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of
Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my
heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and
parted my land.” (Joel 3:2)
We
pray for those who have been hit hard by the flood waters from
Hurricane Harvey, and it crosses our mind once again, “Why has this
happened?” Then we see another hurricane forming in the Atlantic,
Hurrican Irma that could enter the Gulf of Mexico and create another
catastrophe for the inhabitants along its shoreline. But why Texas,
which is the bastion of conservative principles, at least when you
speak of the Republican party. But why not Texas,? For in God's eyes,
He sees not political affiliation but what is hidden in man's moral
closet, or as has been the case in the last 40 years, the immorality
has come out of the closet and is on display on our streets for all
to see (ie.) Homosexuality, lawlessness, murder, rape, and demise of
the children within the womb of abortion.
IS
GOD TRYING TO GET OUR ATTENTION?
As
we approach the end of days for the rule of mankind upon this earth,
we see environmental disasters all over this planet. Volcanoes that
have been dormant for hundreds, if not thousands of years coming to
life and causing devastation in their path. We see weather patterns
that have not been this active in generations of the American people.
I am a witness to the lack of a real summer this year, as we have had
rainfall after rainfall, and many times way too much. Flooding of low
lying areas even here in the Midwest and unseasonable cool weather. I
have never witnessed such a summer as we have just experienced and
what appears to be an early fall starting in August?? Isn't that
supposed to be the “Dog Days of Summer” with its dry conditions
and heat and humidity? Not this year. The enviroment we live in is
not what we are used to. All the signs in the heavens and the
predictions of something major that could happen in the near future.
It gives a person a sense of pause and trepidation when they are
bombarded with such news of our earth.
The
convulsions of this planet are growing stronger and stronger and the
elements of weather seem to have gone awry, which the Bible calls
birth pangs. But it was prophecied it would be so, as scripture has
told us.
“6 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.
7 For nation
shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there
shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers
places.
and
again in Romans “22 For
we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain
together until now.” ( Romans 8:22)
Instead
of rain falling in a gentle mist, it will roar like an avalanche
until the inhabitants cannot cope with it. The rivers will swell and
flood the land in anger, washing the topsoil into the sea. In other
areas, fire will sweep over forests and farmlands, destroying
everything in its path. Windstorms like hurricanes and tornadoes will
devastate the cities and countryside, endangering the lives and
livelihoods of the people. Earthquakes will increase in both
frequency and power, costing thousands of lives and billions of
dollars of damage. These disasters will mount to such an intensity
that the people of earth may seek remedy, but it will be too late.
God will not pass by anymore.
11 “For,
behold, the Lord commandeth, and he will smite the great
house with breaches, and the little house with clefts.
12 Shall horses
run upon the rock? will one plow there with oxen? for ye have turned
judgment into gall, and the fruit of righteousness into hemlock:
13 Ye which
rejoice in a thing of nought, which say, Have we not taken to us
horns by our own strength?”(Amos 6:11-13)
"The
great house" refers to the noble or wealthy family in society,
and these "big names" will certainly be destroyed along
with the common folk. The rich and powerful will not be able to
escape the dreadful punishment God promises. God makes it clear
that He has
given the command to destroy them.
We
should never forget that God's punishment had fallen upon Ancient
Israel because of disobedience, rebellion, and sin. America and the
British nations are rapidly following ancient Israel's example as
they spiral downward to their destruction. We can see this pattern in
the murder on the streets, bloody crimes like rape and mutilation in
our once peaceful towns, AIDS and other sexual diseases rampant among
all sectors of society, as well as sexual deviancy, perverse music,
self-indulgence, drugs, and alcohol abuse. Wealth is being funneled
into the hands of the few, and the poor and weak keep becoming poorer
and weaker. These nations may look fine on the outside, but the
cancer has spread from head to toe, and they have only so long before
the disease proves fatal
Anybody
who has been watching the news, knows there is nothing good to
report, as the land and the people have succumbed to the lust of
their flesh and their beastly tendency for violence. These riots in
the streets that protest against an administration that is trying to
steer this country back to its moral under pinnings and “Drain the
Swamp”..as the culture of the Washington DC establishment has grown
totally corrupt, but the left is putting as much resistance as it can
muster to derail any attempt to thwart the plans of the Globalist who
see POTUS Trump as a hindrance to their plans for a One World
Government and a New World Order. Men like Senator John McCain and
Paul Ryan, Speaker of the House have done anything they can to
demonize the president and become traitors to their own party and its
ideas. They and all like them, need to be voted out, ASAP.
IN
THE LAST DAYS....
This
flagrant disregard for morality is fostered by Satan the devil and
has tempted men to give into their brutish tendencies as God told us
it would be so.
2 For men shall
be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud,
blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without
natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent,
fierce, despisers of those that are good,
6 For of this
sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women
laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
Does
that not sound like what is happening all over the planet, and has
come to America where evil grows exponentially? I don't know about
you, but the world has grown more evil since the time I was a
youngster and has no likeness of what I grew up in. Evil is more
prevalent in the larger metropolitan cities where the concentration
of people are gathered, but even this immorality and evil behavior is
filtering down to the Midwestern smaller cities and towns. Surely God
will judge this nation, or He will have to apologize to Sodom and
Gommarah for their evil behavior if He gives this nation a pass. AND
HE WON'T.
THE
CAUSE OF ISRAEL WILL BE OUR DESTRUCTION
Although
the moral behavior is causing God to bring judgment on this land and
those around the world, one factor is causing even more calamity on
our shores. Now I make no prediction of what God is thinking, as I am
not God, but I see what has happened in our past when it comes to the
treatment of one nation, the nation of Israel. I was reading on
Google and was searching for disasters that might be related to the
treatment of Israel. It came to no surprise when I read that after
each attempt to divide the land of Israel even since the early 1990s
when President H.W. Bush tried it, then Clinton, then George W.
Bush, and Obama tried to bring a “two state solution” to the
problems that Israel is experiencing with her Arab population that
resides within her borders. Want to read how these calamities have
happened on the heels of our meddling in the affairs of God's chosen
people, Israel? Then go to this site and read what the environment
had in store when some attempt to divide God's land here:
This
is but one article that enumerates the many times that disaster has
happened when American thinks they can broker a land for peace deal
and push it upon Israel.
WHY
DOES AMERICAN PERSIST?
The
news speaks of yet another attempt to divide God's land by the
current adminstration. You would think, if Trump is a Christian man,
(as I have read that he gave his life to Jesus), someone would advise
him on the foolishness of trying to jump start a “peace process”
that has been doomed to failure by the last four administrations. It
is impossible to attempt such a foolhardy thing as to negotiate with
a party that has no desire for a two state solution. The Palestinian
Authority headed by henchman, Mahmoud Abbas who is nothing but a
terrorist on the order of the deceased Yasser Arafat, but wears a
suit to look more legitimate, has not an ounce of interest in a two
state solution. He only does as Arafat did. He appears to be
interested in a political solution, but rejects any offer, as it has
been done time and time again. Reason? The Arabs that have taken root
in Israel want nothing short of driving Israel into the sea and
drowning her. She will not settle for anything less, as per Muslim
ideology states “All Muslim land conquered in the past, must be
liberated.” In the past, Islam cared very little for Israel as it
was mostly forgotten. That is, until Israel started returning to
their own land, then the Arabs wanted the land, because of their
hatred of the Jewish people.
President
Trump has again sent an ambassador to Israel in the form of his
son-in law Jared Kushner and the news media reports :
“In
a bid to restart a moribund Israeli-Palestinian peace process, Jared
Kushner, US President Donald Trump's adviser and son-in-law, met with
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Tel Aviv on Thursday.
Accompanied
by a high-level American delegation, Kushner reiterated Trump's
commitment to finding a lasting solution to the Israeli-Palestinian
conflict, which Trump has referred to as "the ultimate deal."
Netanyahu
said such a deal is "within our reach," and promised to
work with the Trump administration 'to advance peace, stability and
security in our region.'
But
the short readout of the introduction provided by Israel's Government
Press Office lacked clear specifics or any stated goals. The White
House, in pursuing a peace deal, has yet to lay out a framework for
negotiations following multiple meetings with Israeli and Palestinian
leaders.” CNN political news
Is
there a link between this new effort on the part of the Trump
administration and the recent Hurricane that hit Texas hard? If the
past history of such attempts with subsequent environmental disasters
on the heels of such a plan proves anything, it says to me “Don't
mess with Israel” I have been long a proponent that Israel is the
door to end time prophecy and Jerusalem is the key to unlocking that
door.
In
recent weeks, a new chapter in the madness of the World Community
concerning Israel has flooded the news with its continued insanity.
With all the problems we see in the Middle East with the civil war in
Syria, the rise of ISIS killing Christians, and anyone that doesn't
line up with their hateful ideology including Sunni Muslims, nuclear
aggression by an insane leader in North Korea, Iran building nuclear
facilities to manufacture a nuclear weapon to control the whole
Middle East and still threatens Israel with annihilation, the
U.N. has condemned Jewish settlements in Judea and Samaria as illegal
and demanding they return to their pre-1967 borders that are
indefensible, giving up East Jerusalem, the Temple Mount and the
Wailing Wall to the likes of the so called “Palestinians”. Where
are their world political priorities to single out Israel?
What could possibly be in the mind of POTUS Trump when America has
failed to reach any type of settlement with the two parties of this
conflict?
Every
time that the world thinks they are going to divide God's land or
take punitive measures to unilaterally punish Israel in a “Land for
Peace” initiative, tragedy has struck every time, and it is aimed
primarily at the leader of the free world, the USA for its
involvement in attempting to come against Israel. What will happen
this time as America makes another attempt at coming against God's
Holy Land? Just watch as Hurrican Irma boils toward the American
mainland and having winds that are off the charts from last report of
its progress toward landfall.
Is
not Israel a sovereign country? Who are we to think that we can
dictate to another country the terms of the desposition of their own
lands within their borders? Would any country, nation, or union allow
another outside nation to divide their country? How about lets let
Mexico take back California, Arizona, and New Mexico because it used
to belong to them? Would that work in anybodies playbook? No? I
didn't think so. So why is Israel any different than any other
country?
The
answer is Satan has a hatred for Israel that will NEVER subside, as
this nation of Jewish people is where the Messiah came from. This is
the nation that God has chosen as His special people, above all
nations on earth. This is Satan's attempt to make God out a liar, as
if he can thwart what God said concerning Israel as always being
before Him, then if Satan can destroy Israel, it might make God
relent on Satan's final judgment in the Lake of Fire which he knows
is coming.
AMERICA
IN GOD'S CROSS-HAIRS
Not
only has our country become lawless in many areas of the country as
we have mentioned, with its moral decline and abomination before God
in homosexuality and the murder of the innocent in abortions, but the
sins of this country are stacking up to where the God of the Universe
is waiting for the right time to bring the hammer of judgment down in
a crushing blow that will send her reeling into a fiery inferno. Note
that the Yellowstone super volcano is coming awake, according to
volcanic seismologist and if she awakens, as did Mount St. Helens,
the effect will destroy all life on this continenet from the east to
the west coast from starvation due to her effects of blotting out
sunlight for many years. Not to mention her immediate destruction of
super hot volcanic ash that rains down on the states in a swatch a
100 mile radius or more.
THE
WORLD BORDERS ON THE TRIBULATION
The
prophet Daniel, and both Paul and John foretell a peace agreement
with Israel that kicks off the Tribulation Period. Daniel says that a
leader of the revived Roman Empire confirms a peace covenant between
Israel and her enemies, which he breaks halfway through. Is this what
will be the product of this coming attempt by another administration?
What will become of this new plan for dividing God's land?
In
context, one could assume the covenant involves a mutual defense
agreement, since, after the walls come down, Ezekiel says this
Russian-led Islamic alliance launches a sneak invasion against
Israel. Ezekiel
38:13 says
Israel's 'allies' launch what amounts to little more than a weak
diplomatic objection.
...You
see the Dominos lining up and each are beginning to fall, as the
world flies head long into the coming Tribulation and the removal of
God's church from this planet. The political news is moving so fast,
that is hard to keep up. Russia in the Middle East making nice
and continues to support Iran, fighting in Syria and the possibility
of the Oracle of Damascus being fulfilled, the isolation and
treachery heaped upon God's land and people....a coming war
prophesied of the Gog-Magog invasion, and most likely bringing about
a 7 year treaty with Israel because of the total devastation that
rained down upon the invaders. Thus ushering in the coming 7 year
tribulaton that looms larger, as the puzzle pieces are ushered into
place waiting for their act in world history to be orchestrated by
the God of the universe that will bring to pass (Joel 3:2.)
The
literal fulfillment of prophecies penned tens of centuries ago
continue to unfold in our generation. Right down to details such as
Israel's Tribulation status as a 'land of unwalled villages'.
The
same Guiding Hand responsible for the prophecy of Ezekiel's
unwavering accuracy (Ezekiel 37-39) and attention to detail also
guided those prophecies that yet remain to be fulfilled. Don't let
anybody steal away your excitement! We are that special, chosen
generation who 'shall not pass away, until all be
fulfilled." The time of Jacob's trouble is in the near future as
the picture grows plainer and more into focus as time passes...
WHEN
THE TRIBULATON COMES, WHERE WILL YOU BE?
If
anything, those reading this commentary and can see what is happening
on the ground for the USA, for Israel and the rest of the world
should see with eyes wide open what is coming. .When these passages
come to pass a war could break out any minute between Israel and the
God of the Universe in this corner...and the Gog-Magog coalition in
the other corner with an impotent USA that has been decimated from
environmental disasters not be able to intervene.....when fighting
starts, it will be a mass suicide of those who dare come against
God's ancient people who He has gathered on the mountains of Israel.
But just prior to that historical event, another most important event
will take place, as all hell will break loose and the devil and his
evil host will attempt to destroy all of mankind, and to secure
worship for himself, as he has lusted for power reserved only for God
Almighty when he brings the Anti-Christ upon the world scene.
7 “For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
8And THEN shall
that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit
of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:”
(2nd Thessalonias
2:7-8)
This
is a prophetic warning that when the beginning of the 70th week
of Daniel begins, most likely with the aforementioned “peace
treaty” with Israel, the Anti-Christ will step front and center
stage. But I see the Church being removed prior to this is you take a
careful reading of scripture, when the man of sin is revealed the
Holy Spirit is removed from this earth in its fullness and we who
have His Spirit residing in each of us, will leave with Him. Why?
Because Jesus said He would never leave us alone, or comfortless and
my God cannot lie...We are leaving..and possibly soon...Some people
scoff and think we are grasping at straws. But fear them not, we are
not grasping at straws, or following vague and ambiguous prophecies
that can be explained away by calling them 'interpretations.' This is
the real thing.
"And when these things BEGIN to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh." (Luke 21:28)
And
brothers and sisters, the signs are all around us, screaming of their
coming fulfillment. Be not those who slumber, but keep alert and
watching, for our Lord will come when they least expect it.
