Signs of the End of the Age

Mat 24:3-14 KJV  And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?  (4)  And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.  (5)  For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.  (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.  (8)  All these are the beginning of sorrows.  (9)  Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.  (10)  And then shall many be offended, and shall betrayG3860one another, and shall hate one another.  (11)  And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.  (12)  And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.  (13)  But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.  (14)  And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

The Coming of the Son of Man

Luk 21:25-28 KJV  And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;  (26)  Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.  (27)  And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.  (28)  And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

Mat 24:25 KJV  Behold, I have told you before.

If you have ever watched a lot of the (most of them older now)movies regarding the rapture and apocalypse then you have seen dramatic accounts of the sell out described here. It will literally mean family turning on family.

For the record this journey started in September 2016 prior to the U.S. turning their back on Israel the week of December 20th 2016. It was completed after the U.S. for the first and hopefully last time abandoned Israel on a security council vote if memory is correct. One thing we might be able to thank the folks here in America who orchestrated all this for is ushering in the rapture a little sooner than not. We have spent a lot of time discussing how God will not be told for too long what to do with His land more importantly His world.

Also for the record we have a complete study on how the issue of settlements was handled by different administrations dating back to LBJ. If my memory serves me correct it was called The Roles Reversed Politically and Prophetically Incorrect. It demonstrated how each of these presidents were less than scriptural about their opinions on Israel. So whenever we see or hear some U.S leader state we affirm Israel’s religious rights and so forth they are not looking at the maps and boundaries God laid out in scripture. That’s a definite for sure. We sort of heard the same thing this past week at the U.N. It’s almost as stupid as mayors and city leaders wanting to keep criminals in their societies that do not even have citizenship. America has opted to side with terrorists momentarily thank God as opposed to really recognizing Israel’s religious rights to this land. We also did a study about God correcting those who deal unjustly with His land. Of course which with the exception of Israel is the entire world.

Elihu Proclaims God's Majesty

Job 37:1-14 KJV  At this also my heart trembleth, and is moved out of his place.  (2)  Hear attentively the noise of his voice, and the sound that goeth out of his mouth.  (3)  He directeth it under the whole heaven, and his lightning unto the ends of the earth.  (4)  After it a voice roareth: he thundereth with the voice of his excellency; and he will not stay them when his voice is heard.  (5)  God thundereth marvellously with his voice; great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend.  (6)  For he saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength.  (7)  He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men may know his work.  (8)  Then the beasts go into dens, and remain in their places.  (9)  Out of the south cometh the whirlwind: and cold out of the north.  (10)  By the breath of God frost is given: and the breadth of the waters is straitened.  (11)  Also by watering he wearieth the thick cloud: he scattereth his bright cloud:  (12)  And it is turned round about by his counsels: that they may do whatsoever he commandeth them upon the face of the world in the earth.  (13)  He causeth it to come, whether for correction, or for his land, or for mercy.  (14)  Hearken unto this, O Job: stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.

Oh yeah by the way where exactly is the West Bank or Palestine as far as that goes? They did not exist then and they do not exist now as far as God’s map goes. The territory was called Canaan. This is one of those really big lies that history is trying hard to create. That this land was actually called Palestine for thousands of years. No only when the Romans were in power. The world as we know it according to scripture was Canaan. Actually God is promising us a New Jerusalem as big as the following passage from Revelation tells us. As far as we are concerned the Roman word Palestine is just another way of saying Philistines.

The New Heaven and the New Earth

Rev 21:1-8 KJV  And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.  (2)  And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.  (3)  And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.  (4)  And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.  (5)  And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.  (6)  And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.  (7)  He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.  (8)  But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

The New Jerusalem

Rev 21:9-27 KJV  And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.  (10)  And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,  (11)  Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;  (12)  And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:  (13)  On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.  (14)  And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.  (15)  And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.  (16)  And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.  (17)  And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel.  (18)  And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass.  (19)  And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald;  (20)  The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst.  (21)  And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.  (22)  And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.  (23)  And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for : for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.  (24)  And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.  (25)  And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.  (26)  And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it.  (27)  And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.

Mat 25:31-46 KJV  When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:  (32)  And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:  (33)  And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.  (34)  Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:  (35)  For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:  (36)  Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.  (37)  Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?  (38)  When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?  (39)  Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?  (40)  And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.  (41)  Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:  (42)  For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:  (43)  I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.  (44)  Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?  (45)  Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.  (46)  And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

In Israel according to biblical history the leaders were referred to as shepherds. Just as we can say Jesus is the shepherd master of a flock being us. We are referred to as what in the Bible? The sheep in accordance with Jesus’ words. Or at least that’s how we wish to be found.

Mat 25:31-34 KJV  When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:  (32)  And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:  (33)  And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.  (34)  Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

The word shepherd in the singular occurs 45 times throughout scripture in 42 verses. There are specific instances in prophetic scripture where we find the bad shepherds or even some good ones. As we have stated over and over again there are reasons for the books of the Kings and Chronicles in the Bible. Shepherds could be protective or they could be neglectful of their flocks. Just like leaders can choose to be leaders for their people or they can cower to the demands of the world sort of like America as of late. For example they could be like David. They can also be foolish like Saul and deliberately disobey the word of the Lord.

1Sa 13:13-14 KJV  And Samuel said to Saul, Thou hast done foolishly: thou hast not kept the commandment of the LORD thy God, which he commanded thee: for now would the LORD have established thy kingdom upon Israel for ever.  (14)  But now thy kingdom shall not continue: the LORD hath sought him a man after his own heart, and the LORD hath commanded him to be captain over his people, because thou hast not kept that which the LORD commanded thee.

1Sa 17:43-54 KJV  And the Philistine said unto David, Am I a dog, that thou comest to me with staves? And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.  (44)  And the Philistine said to David, Come to me, and I will give thy flesh unto the fowls of the air, and to the beasts of the field.  (45)  Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied.  (46)  This day will the LORD deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcases of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.  (47)  And all this assembly shall know that the LORD saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is the LORD'S, and he will give you into our hands.  (48)  And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came and drew nigh to meet David, that David hasted, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine.  (49)  And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead, that the stone sunk into his forehead; and he fell upon his face to the earth.  (50)  So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him; but there was no sword in the hand of David.  (51)  Therefore David ran, and stood upon the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of the sheath thereof, and slew him, and cut off his head therewith. And when the Philistines saw their champion was dead, they fled.  (52)  And the men of Israel and of Judah arose, and shouted, and pursued the Philistines, until thou come to the valley, and to the gates of Ekron. And the wounded of the Philistines fell down by the way to Shaaraim, even unto Gath, and unto Ekron.  (53)  And the children of Israel returned from chasing after the Philistines, and they spoiled their tents.  (54)  And David took the head of the Philistine, and brought it to Jerusalem; but he put his armour in his tent.

A phrase we find mentioned fairly often in describing the kings of Israel and Judah is the following:
“He did evil”

1Ki 15:25-26 KJV  And Nadab the son of Jeroboam began to reign over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned over Israel two years.  (26)  And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of his father, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin.

The next king we hear this phrase about is his son Baasha who successfully plots and carries out an overthrow.

1Ki 15:33-34 KJV  In the third year of Asa king of Judah began Baasha the son of Ahijah to reign over all Israel in Tirzah, twenty and four years.  (34)  And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin.

The Betrayals
We have read about bad kings making bad deals with bad nations in scripture. We now have our nation here in America making deals we know little about publicly with nations like Iran or for prophecy zealots Persia. Factor in their alliance of late in Iraq and we have a possible Media- Persia empire again. We have these prophetic scriptures concerning what we just said. In Revelation 17 as we have covered in many other places such as the Daniel Extremity studies there are kingdoms mentioned.

The Great Prostitute and the Beast

Rev 17:1-18 KJV  And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:  (2)  With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.  (3)  So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.  (4)  And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:  (5)  And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.  (6)  And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.  (7)  And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.  (8)  The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.  (9)  And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.  (10)  And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.  (11)  And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.  (12)  And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.  (13)  These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.  (14)  These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.  (15)  And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.  (16)  And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.  (17)  For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.  (18)  And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

Now we have done this many times and we will continue to until we cannot any more. There have been 6 world empires or kingdoms we can safely say based on John’s message to us. They would be as follows.

Egypt
Assyria
Babylon
Media Persia
Greece
Rome

Many feel as though the Ottoman Turkish or the United Nations in itself could be candidates for number 7. We must look back at 1 verse in particular from Daniel 8 regarding all of this.

Dan 8:1-3 KJV  In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar a vision appeared unto me, even unto me Daniel, after that which appeared unto me at the first.  (2)  And I saw in a vision; and it came to pass, when I saw, that I was at Shushan in the palace, which is in the province of Elam; and I saw in a vision, and I was by the river of Ulai.  (3)  Then I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there stood before the river a ram which had two horns: and the two horns were high; but one was higher than the other, and the higher came up lastH314.

The higher or bigger of the 2 horns was the Persian empire. We have that kingdom connected to a very interesting word indeed that we have been studying for a while. That word being acharon. We find it right here in this verse next to the Persian or what we know today as the nation of Iran.

Dan 8:3 KJV+  Then I lifted upH5375 mine eyes,H5869 and saw,H7200 and, behold,H2009 there stoodH5975 beforeH6440 the riverH180 aH259 ramH352 which had two horns:H7161 and the two hornsH7161 were high;H1364 but oneH259 was higherH1364 thanH4480 the other,H8145 and the higherH1364 came upH5927 last.H314

Total KJV occurrences: 50

It’s interesting that the Persian empire according to Daniel 8:3 will be coming up last. As in the last generation of believers facing the east. Take a look at the world and tell me that you cannot see this taking place at least to a small degree. Couple this with the spiritual importance of the kings of the east in Revelation 16.

The Seven Bowls of God's Wrath

Rev 16:12-16 KJV  And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.  (13)  And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.  (14)  For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.  (15)  Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.  (16)  And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.

The Iran Deal
The Iran deal as we have come to call it does nothing more or less than bolster their military superiority among the middle eastern nations. Many of whom are already hard at work trying to build their own nuclear power plants if you will. The new arms race might be going totally overlooked. The same folks who tried to explain this lunacy are also taking Israel to task for some odd reason or another. The Obama administration has been so relaxed about chemical warfare, constant harassment of our military planes and ships, and now Russia making brazen moves toward warfare with what might still be NATO. So they cannot man up to the big players on the scene so they have to go after poor little old Israel. That really makes the U.S. look powerful does it not? Just wait till God starts getting involved. America the warning sirens have been firing for a long time about yes even our great nation falling to the powers of evil. We are not any further from God’s judgment than Israel.

It’s amazing that our ships and planes can be fired at or even upon for all we really know and there are no sanctions placed upon Iran or Russia. Oh yeah that’s right they took possession of a few of our sailors last year did they not. Which if memory serves me correct John Kerry the big bully with little old Israel could only muster a thank you to Iran for their actions against our sailors. However Obama during his last days in office when he will not have any more face to face dealings (with all the flexibility he bragged about on a hot mic and camera) with bad apples of the world decides to man up and take some laughable action against Mr.  Putin who has played him like a fiddle as we say in our neck of the woods. The only reason Obama decided to man up now was probably due to the fallout of all the mainstream media, Hollywood and whoever else could not push Hillary into office because the Russians or whoever had the truth come out about some things embarrassing to both the Whitehouse and her.

Iran as we have mentioned many times now could easily fulfill or be a major player in many prophecies we have looked at together. They are most certainly of the 7 mentioned in Revelation 17.

Christians are the Problem not Islam

The Constant need apparently to slap Christians in the face at every prayer breakfast or murder usually committed by a person of Islamic faith shall we say.

If not directly slapping Christians in the face then attacking something most Americans who just happen to be Christians relish such as the 2nd amendment. All because a radicalized Muslim killed some one. It’s amazing how people that never go to church and break commandments in a very public way lecture Christians on how to be Christians. Looks as though this last election may have blown much of their smoke back into their faces.

The refusal to allow American citizens the right to pursue things like the Iran hostage crisis and the events of 9/11 regarding Saudi Arabia and other nations who might have had a role- by the way for the first time in recent memory both parties dems and repubs alike voted for these measures and leave it to the president to make sure that Islam gets another political victory in Washington and around the world for some piece of garbage excuse or another. Some political pundits on the conservative side see a need to put security over the lives of the people they are supposed to secure. However should the main reason for not allowing these families to take legal measures be because our own misgivings may come to light? If we behave as a nation under God then we have nothing to fear.

Psa 33:12-22 KJV  Blessed is the nationH1471 whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.  (13)  The LORD looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men.  (14)  From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth.  (15)  He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their works.  (16)  There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.  (17)  An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength.  (18)  Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy;  (19)  To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.  (20)  Our soul waiteth for the LORD: he is our help and our shield.  (21)  For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.  (22)  Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in thee.

This defines just about any grouping of people coming together in the name of the Lord.
You see we have to remind ourselves that every time that the enemy gets a public praising or Christians get a tongue lashing the enemy sees it as a victory and believe when we say our brilliant leadership? Has given plenty of ammunition in this department- However in predictable true hypocritical fashion the enemy accuses (keep in mind that this is what Satan actually means by definition- accuser) Donald Trump and others who would take the necessary measures to make sure all “real” Americans are safe to include Muslim Americans who love America and are not here to bring us down stay safe.

What was Mr Trump among some others doing to provoke 9-11? There are some folks who accuse his toughened stand on just letting anyone into the country as being a recruiting tool for terrorists. Let’s get this clear the only thing that emboldens the terrorists is pacifism. Telling the world what you are not going to do all the time. A president who is an accuser not ever doing anything militarily speaking to the enemy. Taking out targets we know are there and have been for some time. We just seem to wait until multiple numbers of Americans are killed then seem as though we are doing something about it.

The only thing that stirs my memory is the fact that Bill Clinton in the aftermath of the first trade center bombing the 2 embassies destroyed in Africa and the USS Cole attack was so busy satisfying his sexual fantasies to actually do something substantial about Americans and other citizens dying-Huh?

Let’s see what else our exploration of deceit and betrayal by those supposed to be our shepherds or leaders opens up.

How about describing the Russian invasion of the Ukraine as a territorial dispute and pretty much the same concerning the activities of China in the Pacific islands as well as Russian, Iranian and Chinese interference with our ships and planes respectively around the world.
Doing a search on incidents involving U.S. planes and ships and other nations being “buzzed” the following information came up.

The Independent U.K. reported in November 2014 that there were approximately 39 incidents within the last 8 months of the report date.

A London-based thinktank has said Russia is risking military escalation across Europe with Cold War-style "brinkmanship".

The European Leadership Network (ELN) examined 39 incidents of military encounters between Russian planes and boats, and Nato forces and allies, in the last eight months to conclude that the "highly disturbing" violations of national airspace had caused several incidents where military confrontation or the loss of life was narrowly avoided.

Its report listed near-misses including violations of national airspace, emergency scrambles, narrowly avoided mid-air collisions, close encounters at sea and simulated bombing attacks stretching from the North Sea to the Baltic and Arctic regions and along the US coast.
It seems like if memory is correct that terms we or the U.S. have used to describe these events are as follows

KIEV, Ukraine (AP) — U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry on Thursday pledged sustained American support to Ukraine and offered assurances that the United States stands by the former Soviet republic in its territorial disputes with Russia and as it embarks on an ambitious program of reform.

Coinciding with the visit of U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry to Beijing for high-level security talks, a Chinese fighter jet carried out an “unsafe” intercept of a U.S. spy plane on routine patrol on Tuesday in international airspace over the East China Sea. The U.S. Pacific Command issued a statement, saying the intercept involved two Chinese J-10 fighter planes and a U.S. Air Force RC-135 reconnaissance plane, “One of the intercepting Chinese jets had an unsafe excessive rate of closure on the RC-135 aircraft. Initial assessment is that this seems to be a case of improper airmanship, as no other provocative or unsafe maneuvers occurred.”

We some how do not feel Vladimir Putin or his counterpart in China quaking in their boots at these rather ridiculously pompous descriptions of military aggression-It reminds me of a bunch of fraternity brothers pointing their fingers and making accusations at a bunch of beer drinking red necks that could care less what the fraternity boys are doing.

As you know if you are here often we have spent a great deal of time exploring Ezekiel 38 and 39 or what some folks may call WW3(world war 3) for those who may be too young to know or in case there is a very good chance the world does not educate us on these matters any more.

For those still in the dark about these issues the general consensus among most prophecy scholars (not saying you should agree or disagree)is a Russian led Arab coalition of states coming against Israel. It’s kind of funny how people who ridicule or scoff at scripture do not even realize that thousands of years before the formation of the Arab League the Bible had already predicted both the rise and fall of many of the nations involved therein. How about world empires?

We could also respectfully submit the fact that Hillary Clinton believes she will have the respect of leaders around the world. If she should happen to be our next leader she may very well discover that all those donations from oil rich countries that all but totally disregard women come at a cost. That cost may be she well finds out she is nothing more than the same to these leaders just another woman no disrespect intended. We all know that God does and has raised up great female leaders such as Deborah and Esther. However we do not feel those types of accolades will apply if this is the case. This will be more like the Ahab and Jezebel history in the Bible. We have explored their plight in some of the rapture studies.

Benghazi is just another betrayal of people bravely serving our country overseas. The mainstream media has nothing better to do than magnify the “mighty Hillary”. Last report has it that she and the president had our men and women willing to die to go after these heroes changing their uniforms on the ground in order that certain folks who were not God fearing Americans stayed happy.

There are plenty of biblical examples of how fighting the good fight included going after those that in the end result failed with the Lord such as Lot when he was taken by the kings attacking the promised land in Genesis 14.

Gen 14:8-24 KJV  And there went out the king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrah, and the king of Admah, and the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (the same is Zoar;) and they joined battle with them in the vale of Siddim;  (9)  With Chedorlaomer the king of Elam, and with Tidal king of nations, and Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar; four kings with five.  (10)  And the vale of Siddim was full of slimepits; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and fell there; and they that remained fled to the mountain.  (11)  And they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their victuals, and went their way.  (12)  And they took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who dwelt in Sodom, and his goods, and departed.  (13)  And there came one that had escaped, and told Abram the Hebrew; for he dwelt in the plain of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner: and these were confederate with Abram.  (14)  And when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he armed his trained servants, born in his own house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued them unto Dan.  (15)  And he divided himself against them, he and his servants, by night, and smote them, and pursued them unto Hobah, which is on the left hand of Damascus.  (16)  And he brought back all the goods, and also brought again his brother Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the people.  (17)  And the king of Sodom went out to meet him after his return from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer, and of the kings that were with him, at the valley of Shaveh, which is the king's dale.  (18)  And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God.  (19)  And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth:  (20)  And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all.  (21)  And the king of Sodom said unto Abram, Give me the persons, and take the goods to thyself.  (22)  And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up mine hand unto the LORD, the most high God, the possessor of heaven and earth,  (23)  That I will not take from a thread even to a shoelatchet, and that I will not take any thing that is thine, lest thou shouldest say, I have made Abram rich:  (24)  Save only that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men which went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre; let them take their portion.

Abram Blessed by Melchizedek

Gen 14:17-24 KJV  And the king of Sodom went out to meet him after his return from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer, and of the kings that were with him, at the valley of Shaveh, which is the king's dale.  (18)  And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God.  (19)  And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth:  (20)  And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all.  (21)  And the king of Sodom said unto Abram, Give me the persons, and take the goods to thyself.  (22)  And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up mine hand unto the LORD, the most high God, the possessor of heaven and earth,  (23)  That I will not take from a thread even to a shoelatchet, and that I will not take any thing that is thine, lest thou shouldest say, I have made Abram rich:  (24)  Save only that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men which went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre; let them take their portion.

There is a great biblical lesson for the use of action when it is necessary. When someone takes hold of your people even those that might not share the same types of belief you simply go and get them in the name of the Lord. Notice the blessing from Melchizedek follows the defeat of Abram’s adversaries.

In Genesis 12 as we used to mention fairly often and still see much need to we  gain the following knowledge.

Gen 12:1-3 KJV  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.

Gen 17:15-21 KJV  And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be.  (16)  And I will bless her, and give thee a son also of her: yea, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of people shall be of her.  (17)  Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child be born unto him that is an hundred years old? and shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear?  (18)  And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael might live before thee!  (19)  And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him.  (20)  And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation.  (21)  But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year.

Gen 22:9-19 KJV  And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood.  (10)  And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.  (11)  And the angel of the LORD called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I.  (12)  And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me.  (13)  And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son.  (14)  And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovahjireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen.  (15)  And the angel of the LORD called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time,  (16)  And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the LORD, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son:  (17)  That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;  (18)  And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.  (19)  So Abraham returned unto his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beersheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beersheba.

Joh 8:48-59 KJV  Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?  (49)  Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me.  (50)  And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.  (51)  Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.  (52)  Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death.  (53)  Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?  (54)  Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God:  (55)  Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying.  (56)  Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.  (57)  Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?  (58)  Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.  (59)  Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.

Joh 13:19 KJV  Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I am he.

As always thanks for sharing a word
God Bless
