Get Into Heaven Guaranteed

  1. Believe the Truth

  3. Everybody is a sinner.
  4. Jesus paid the price for your sin.

John 3:17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. If we don’t need salvation, then God sent His Son in vain. Let’s agree with God – we do need to be saved. God does not want to send anybody to Hell. Hell is more of a destination of choice by having rejected God.

Romans 3:23 states, “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”Jesus said, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?”

What is the Rapture?

Stay awake, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming. But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what part of the night the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and would not have let his house be broken into. Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.

The Rapture, not to be confused with the Second Coming, refers to an event when Jesus comes to take those who believe in Him away from the world before the last 7-year period of time begins as described in the Book of Revelation.

U.S. Says Israeli Settlements in West Bank Do Not Violate International Law

By Leave a Comment

israeli-west-bank-settlements-not-illegalPresident Trump reversed former President Obama’s position towards Israeli settlements, and officially stated that the settlements do not violate international law.  President Trump said Israeli courts were better suited to decide the legality of the settlements, “not biased international forums that pay no attention to history or facts.” This essentially means that the US no longer views the West Bank as “occupied territory”…the land belongs to Israel.

Israeli settlements are civilian communities built and inhabited by Israeli citizens on lands occupied by Israel since the 1967 Six-Day War.

All Saints Day is Halloween … What if?

By Leave a Comment

What if Jesus always intended to come for His bride on Halloween?

 
Hear me out on this…
 
The word ‘Halloween’ is of Scottish origin and is a contraction of ‘All Hallows’ Eve’ which means the ‘The evening before All Hallows’ Day’. So just exactly what is or what was All Hallows’ Day about? I’m glad you asked…
 
All Hallows’ Day aka All Saints Day revolves around “giving God solemn thanks for the lives and deaths of his saints”, including those who are “famous or obscure”.
 
As a Protestant, having not been raised or taught Catholic beliefs, my understanding is that a very clear, literal, and simple reading of the Bible reveals that the saints of the Bible are ALL believers in Jesus/Yeshua, not a select group who are chosen or beatified by a man with the title of Pope.
 
When Jesus/Yeshua comes back for His church it is ALL of the “dead in Christ” who rise first, followed by ALL of the living believers in Christ, to meet Him in the air. These are ALL of the saints, both dead and living…clothed in the righteousness of Jesus/Yeshua.
 
Oh the irony, if Jesus/Yesha came for ALL of His Saints on All Hallow’s Eve (Halloween). This would explain quite a bit. The Devil has developed quite a reputation for taking what God has created for good to twist it, to corrupt, and turn it into something else which is impure, untrue, and unholy. What more fitting description of Halloween? An annual celebration of death, corruption, evil, and false appearances.
 
Like I asked earlier, “What if?”
Would you be ready?
Look up, for your Redemption draws near.
Jesus/Yeshua is coming soon.
The hour is late.
Maranatha!

USA Greenlight for Turkey to invade Syria Brings Ezekiel 38 Prophecy Closer

By Leave a Comment

The amount of concern over Pres. Trump’s decision to pull US troops out of Syria so Turkey can begin a military incursion is overwhelming. My opinion is that Trump is unlikely to be swayed by those who disagree to the point of reversing his decision. His explicit threat on Twitter to destroy Turkey’s economy if his agreement with Turkey’s Pres. Erdogan is not upheld is unsettling, to say the least. We’re at a point on God’s prophetic timeline where I find that it helps to purposely look at some of these events with neutrality, being non-partisan, not taking sides. Certain events must happen, like it or not. This is a good example of just how quickly circumstances can change.
 
In light of the ongoing Convergence of prophecy being fulfilled, this new situation does appear to be paving the way for the Ezekiel 38 invasion of Israel by a coalition thought to include Russia, Turkey, and Iran. A quick, random survey of comments in online Bible prophecy groups suggests that there is much agreement on this pending invasion amongst the ‘watchers’. The historically unprecedented coalition of these 3 countries has met 3 times in the last year to discuss and decide the fate of Syria. Putin has met with Erdogan 7 times already in 2019.
 
To summarize the Ezekiel 38 prophecy:
Persia is clearly modern-day Iran.
Cush comprises more of modern-day Sudan than Ethiopia.
Put is northern Africa or Libya.
The majority of opinions on the identification of which countries are represented by Magog, Meshech, Tubal, Gomer and Togarmah are that these are all historical regions north of Israel in Asia-Minor which include modern-day Turkey, northwest of Iran, southwest of Russia.
 
Less clear is the identification of Tarshish, a land that is implied to be far away from Israel, that is reachable by sea. Could it be Europe? America?
Have you already given thought to what these countries have in common?
 
Antisemitism is pervasive throughout Europe. The recent mass migration of millions of refugees into Europe from the Middle East certainly as not helped.
 
Antisemitism is also simmering in the United States, as evidenced by the election of radical, liberal representatives like Ocasio Cortez, Rashida Tlaib, and Ilhan Omar whose antisemitic public comments are becoming more common and more tolerated. This apparent trend in conjunction with the US military now being pulled out of Syria makes it easier to imagine how the US will not be coming to Israel’s defense in the event of an Ezekiel 38 invasion. This could possibly explain why the United States, the most powerful country in the history of the world, is not mentioned in Biblical prophecy.
 
The Israeli political system is still in turmoil. The fear is that the country’s democracy is at risk due to the political divisions which have so far prevented a majority coalition government from being formed.
 
Credit goes to Trump for the United States declaring that Jerusalem is the undisputed, capital of Israel, not Tel Aviv.
 
Last week the Sanhedrin sacrificed a live goat on a stone altar for a burnt offering on the Mount of Olives, overlooking the Temple Mount. In Israel, there is increasing talk of rebuilding the Jewish Temple on the Temple Mount.
 
How anyone could think that these are not the Last Days spoken of in the Bible is beyond my comprehension.
 
Jesus/Yeshua commanded us to ‘Watch! For you do not know the day or hour of my return.”… but He wants us to WATCH, to recognize the signs leading up to His return, similar to freeway signs leading up to an exit.
 
Look up, for your Redemption draws near.
 
Maranatha!

Harpazo Horizon or Last Minute Change of Plans?

By Leave a Comment

A brief summary of today’s status on The Convergence

  • Prominent ‘Christians’ are renouncing their faith, defending the ‘ways of the world’, proclaiming homosexuality to not be a sin, and even committing suicide on September 10th, National Suicide Prevention Day.
  • Churches continue to split along lines separating traditional, literal Biblical beliefs from progressive, tolerant and inclusive beliefs.
  • Under the guise of teaching tolerance children in elementary schools are being indoctrinated with the normalization of perversions and multiple gender fluidity nonsense.
  • The chessboard of the Middle East does appear to be set up for two as of yet unfulfilled prophecies; Isaiah 18 and Ezekiel 38.
  • Damascus Syria is mostly in ruins. It wouldn’t take much more than a spark to “utterly destroy” the oldest existing city in the world.
  • Iran (Persia) continues to provide for Hezbollah in Syria and Lebanon, the terrorist military arm responsible for firing rockets into Israel in the north.
  • Iran is now enriching weapons-grade uranium at an accelerated pace and continues to proclaim the impending destruction of Israel.
  • Israel has escalated their aerial bombardment of Iranian military installations in Syria and Iraq where rockets and guided missiles are being imported and manufactured.
  • Hamas continues to fire rockets into Israel from Gaza in the south.
  • ISIS is still being dealt with in Iraq.
  • An unprecedented 2nd attempt at a successful election for Prime Minister of Israel is scheduled for Tuesday, Sept. 17th
  • Netanyahu has promised to annex the West Bank if elected despite warnings not to from the UN, the EU, and President Putin of Russia.
  • Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has stated that the details of the ‘Deal of the Century’ Middle East Peace Plan will be revealed right after the Israeli elections.

It’s Time to Rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem

And the most eyebrow-raising news of late is that both of the leading candidates for Prime Minister, Bibi Netanyahu and Benny Gantz, are now proclaiming that it is time to rebuild the Temple on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.

In recent decades, there have been a number of false starts where it appeared that at certain points in time global events were foreshadowing the imminent return of Jesus/Yeshua
to take his bride away from this sin-plagued planet which has already been sentenced and is awaiting judgment. Then at the last minute, there would seemingly be a change of plans, postponing the major event until another time in the not too distant future.

We appear to be at one of these points in time once again. Will there be a last-minute change of plans? Or will the convergence of events continue to focus on the major event, our Blessed Hope?

One of the ‘moedim’ or ‘appointed times’ from Leviticus 23 is the Feast of Trumpets, aka Rosh Hashanah, which will occur between Sept. 30th and Oct. 1, 2019

What if? What if this is it?

“Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed— in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet.
For the TRUMPET will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.
For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality.
(1 Corinthians 15:51-53)

“For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the TRUMPET call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.
After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.
And so we will be with the Lord forever.
Therefore encourage one another with these words.”
(1 Thessalonians 4:16-18)

Indeed, Darkness appears to be closing in from all sides. But the darkness will flee from the Light!

Maranatha!

Zehut and the Third Temple

Latest News Stories which Mention the Third Temple

4 TAKEAWAYS FROM ISRAEL’S ELECTION

‘Zehut’, a secular, right-wing Israeli political party founded by Moshe Feiglin, called for the legalization of marijuana, the removal of the Muslim colonial presence from Israel and the rebuilding of the Third Temple ontop the Temple Mount now, not later.  The Hebrew dictionary definition of ‘Zehut’ or ‘Zehuyot’ is ‘Identities’.  Feiglin failed to unseat Benjamin Netanyahu in last Tuesday’s election for Prime Minister of Israel.

ZIONISM’S BEGINNINGS: ‘REDEMPTIVE PARALYSIS’

A recently published article by Aharon E. Wexler in the Jerusalem Post summarizes the three failed revolts by the Jews to regain their independence:

  • 167 B.C., the Hasmonean Revolt lead by Judah the Maccabee
  • 117 A.D., the Kitos Revolt against Roman General Quietus
  • 132 A.D., the Bar Kochba Revolt

It is interesting to note that in the description of Hadrian’s Genocide in response to the successful Bar Kochba Revolt the rabbis, using rabbinic hyperbole, “tell us that there was so much blood spilled that it was up to the horses’ noses.”  Historians report that more one million Jews were killed, many of them women and children.

Were these rabbis familiar with Revelation 14:19-20? It seems the author, Aharon Wexler, is not familiar with the prophetic scripture of Revelation since he used the word ‘hyperbole’ .

“The angel swung his sickle on the earth, gathered its grapes and threw them into the great winepress of God’s wrath. They were trampled in the winepress outside the city, and blood flowed out of the press, rising as high as the horses’ bridles for a distance of 1,600 stadia.”

The author attributes the reason for modern Zionism to the failure of Jews to fully assimilate into European culture and what he calls ‘Redemption Paralysis’ which resulted from the new Rabbinical teaching that the Messianic Redemption would be ‘supernatural’ and not literal in nature.  Redemption Paralysis, the author suggests, is responsible for the Jews not taking redemption in their own hands for almost 2,000 years until 1897 when a group of secular Jews led by Thedor Herzl decided that the time to re-establish a Jewish state had arrived.

Sadly, just as the prophet Jeremiah warned, once again, dark days for the Jewish nation lie ahead.  Prophecies from Daniel state that the Third Temple will, in fact, be rebuilt and the temple sacrifices will recommence.  However, a man who will be credited for a major role in establishing peace between Israel and the nations, a man who ‘confirms’ a peace treaty, will mistakingly be accepted as the Messiah that the Jews have been waiting for. He is not.  He may even be Jewish, but the Jews will soon afterward realize that he is a false messiah. Three and one-half years into his rule he will commit an unacceptable, unholy act in the Third Temple and then proclaim himself to be God.  This will be the event or the signal that causes great fear and panic among the Jews, who will recognize their error, and are told to not hesitate for a single moment before fleeing for their lives to the East, where God will supernaturally care for them for the next three and one-half years. Many will perish for not taking God’s warning seriously.
