Bible Prophecy is now a Script for News Headlines

March 20, 2018 By Bear Ian Leave a Comment

Global events which are aligned with Biblical prophecy are occurring so quickly lately that it’s been said that its as if Biblical prophecies about the End Times or Last Days are now a script for the headlines. Hopefully, you already know that the world actually doesn’t actually ‘end’ anytime soon. However, what is about to happen on this planet is not something I would wish on my worst enemy.

Here is a very small sample of some of the latest headlines from MAJOR news outlets, not fringe or questionable sources of news, but major outlets like Newsweek, The Atlantic, The Guardian and the New York Times…

Recent Global Highlights

  • Turkish newspaper says Erdogan calling on other Muslim countries to form joint Muslim army to go against Israel from every direction. : Memri.org
  • US Embassy move to Jerusalem accelerated. : Israel Today
  • Iran threatens to ‘flatten’ Israel and kill Netanyahu : Newsweek
  • Assad uses more chemical weapons against people in Syria : The Atlantic
  • Putin/Russia threatening the United States should we take military action against Iran or N. Korea. : The Guardian
  • Knesset passes bill declaring Israel as the ‘the national home of the Jewish people’ with ‘Hebrew’ as the official language, protecting the country from the risk of future democractic changes. : March 13, 2018
  • Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman likens Iranian Supreme Leader to Hitler. : New York Times

The greatest likelihood right now is that there is about to be a short, but major conflict in the Middle East.  The primary actors are Russia, various factions within Syria, Iran, Israel and the United States.  A very large portion of Damascus is already a ‘ruinous heap’, but the fulfillment of Isaiah 17 is not yet complete and seems to be the next specific prophecy to be fulfilled, like watching a wobbling glass on a table, the suspense and anxiety is building in knowing that it’s going to break.

Latest interesting theory:  In the the near future Putin (Gog/Magog) may strategically invade Israel (Ezekiel 38) not just to plunder it’s natural gas reserves, but also to appease the rapidly growing Muslim population with Russia itself.

Moscow

  • Moscow has the largest Muslim population in Europe
  • Muslims are the fastest growing and most ethnically diverse demographic group in Moscow.
  • 2.5 million Muslims in Moscow, over 15% of the current population, projected to be 30% in less than 20 years.

If you’re still reading this and have not yet put your trust in Jesus/Yeshua as your savior then NOW is the time.  Don’t be a ‘mocker’ or ‘scoffer’.  Trust that God loves you and wants to save you from what is about to happen.   Acknowledge that you’ve broken God’s law which makes you a sinner. Accept the free gift of forgiveness that God is offering you…it’s yours for the taking.  Believe that Jesus/Yeshua is God.  Call on His name… He will hear you.  Ask Him to show you that He is real by coming into your life.

Is the Blue Blood Super Moon the Last Sign?

January 30, 2018 By Bear Ian Leave a Comment

BLUE BLOOD SUPER MOON WEDN MORNING JANUARY 31, 2018 @ 4:51 a.m. PST, the total phase starts and lasts until 5:29 a.m. PST
Totality ends at 6:07 a.m. and the moon is set to emerge from the umbra at 7:11 a.m PST.

Q: Will the moon appear blue?
A: No, a Blue Moon is the name given to the 2nd Full Moon in a calendar month.

Q: Will the moon appear blood red?
A: Yes, as a result of the sun’s rays bending around the Earth’s atmosphere before illuminating the moon.

Q: Do any other planets in our solar system have lunar eclipses?
A: No, not that anyone is aware of.

Q: What are the other astronomical signs that people are talking about?

A: Google andy of these:

  1. The 2014-2015 Blood Moon Tetrad
  2. The Great Solar Eclipse of Aug. 21, 2017
  3. The Revelation 12 Sign, Sept. 23, 2017
  4. The Mercury/Jupiter conjunction, Oct. 18, 2017
  5. The Venus/Jupiter conjunction, Nov. 13, 2017
  6. The Blue Blood Super Moon of Jan. 31, 2018

Q: Is it the End of the World?
A: No…but….

More than anything, Jesus instructed His followers to ‘Watch’ for the signs of His return.  The Bible tells us that there will be ‘signs in the sky’ heralding the return of Christ.  The signs involve the sun, moon, stars, and planets.   The Greek word ‘planetai’ means ‘wandering’.  Today, what we know as planets were referred to as ‘wandering stars’ some two thousand years ago.  Many Christians believe that Jesus will come to take His church of believers out of this world in an event known as the Rapture.  The strongest argument can be made for the timing of the Rapture to occur before the seven-year period of Tribulation when God’s wrath is poured out upon Earth.  Only after the seven years does Jesus return to set everything right again.  The Bible tells us that our Messiah will rule from the throne of King David in Jerusalem.  We know that there will be peace on Earth for 1,000 years, so ‘no’, the Earth does not end on January 31, 2018.

Q: When is the Rapture?
A: Nobody knows for sure, apparently it can be anytime if one believe’s in the ‘pre-eminent’ return of Christ, meaning nothing remains on the prophetic calendar which must happen before He does return.

Q: Will the Rapture be on January 31, 2018?
A: The Blue Blood Super Moon does qualify as a ‘sign’.  There hasn’t been a similar occurrence since 1865.  The Rapture probably won’t be on January 31, 2018 … but ‘What if?’

Is the End of World REALLY Soon?

January 15, 2017 By Bear Ian Leave a Comment

A: No

The short answer is that after the Rapture, there will be 7 years of Tribulation before Jesus comes back to rule on Earth from Jerusalem for 1,000 years.  Then God will create a New Heaven and a New Earth…everything we know today will be destroyed by holy cosmic fire, or as the Bible describes, ‘the elements will melt’.

But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

2 Peter 3:10 (NKJV)

The long answer:

The truth is, Jesus created humans out of love because He wants to have relationship with every individual.  But love is a choice of free will, it’s not a robotic programmed condition.  Mankind has been given roughly 6,000 years since Creation to choose God and to love Him by trusting Him and following His ways.  However, Sin entered the world.  Yes we humans fail, we fail often and sometimes we fail big.  The order of the Universe that God created requires that payment be made for the sin that every human being is guilty of and that payment is blood.  Why blood?  Because Life is in the blood and the penalty of sin is death.  So Life is the payment for Death.  Get it?  God always knew that mankind was incapable of atoning for their own sin.  For almost two thousand years God required his chosen people, the Jews, to ritually sacrifice the best, unblemished animals at the Temple in Jerusalem to atone for their sin.  Then Jesus arrived, right on time, the Son of God, who humbled himself by coming down from Heaven to be born in human form, as  God in the flesh, Jesus from Nazareth, the King of the Jews.  Jesus laid down His life as the Final Sacrifice, offering up His blood as payment for the sin of all who would believe in Him and truth Him, the Creator, the Lamb of God without Sin, our Savior.

The next 2,000 years, from Jesus until now, have been a period of time known as a dispensation, also referred to as the Church Age.  During this time the Truth of Jesus, who He is and what He has done for the world has gone out to every corner of the world and has been translated into essentially every language.  The Church Age is drawing to a close.

The Church will be Raptured at the end of the Age, caught up to Heaven, to meet Jesus and be taken to the Father’s house.  Then, down below on Earth, the antiChrist will rise to power and proclaim peace, but it will be a false, non-lasting peace for 3 1/2 years.  At this point the antiChrist will proclaim himself to be god and demand worship from everyone.  From this point forward, the next 3 1/2 years will be Hell on Earth, marked by war, horriffic violence, plagues, famine, earthquakes and tsunamis, even an asteroid that hits the planet.  This 3 1/2 period of time is known as The Great Tribulation.

The end of the Great Tribulation is the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.  Jesus the Lion of Judah, will return from Heaven, riding a white horse, with an army of saints (the Church) following Him on their own white horses.  In short, with a word, Jesus will vanquish His enemies and establish His Kingdom in Jerusalem, for a period of 1,000 years known as the Millennium of Peace. After this era of peace, as described in 2 Peter 3:10, everything will be destroyed by fire, purifed and made new again.  This is the End of the World, and it’s a beautiful thing, as it’s also the beginning of the most glorious future that God has mind for those who love Him and obey Him.
