Destruction of Damascus

In an interview with Russian newspaper Moscow News, Moallem said "there is no doubt that closing the horizons to peace may lead to a possible war. This option always exists in our region, as Israel usually outrageously evades the commitment to peace." (emphasis mine)
http://www.jpost.com/MiddleEast/Article.aspx?id=196891&R=R3


Syrian FM made the remark that Israel "evades the commitment to peace."  Let's see, um... last time I heard, Netanyahu had agreed a couple of times to cease building settlements/housing for the countries increasing population (you know, so they don't have to live in the streets).  They have been giving supply and aid to the "Palestinians" (media code for Muslim, so you don't know of their REAL agenda), and treating and saving the lives of countless wounded/infirmed Palestinians in Jewish hospitals.  And what has been the response of the Muslims?  Hmmm... oh, yeah, Abbas keeps insisting that the settlement freeze is not long enough, or that it's in "Palestinian" Muslim territory.  Even now the Muslims are claiming that the great Wailing Wall of the first Jewish temple does not belong to nor have any connection with the Jewish temple that had been built by king Solomon.  Oh, and I guess king Solomon did not rule over the greatest extent of the Jewish empire in the B.C., nor did he have over 900 wives (with whom all the surrounding kings in the world gave their daughters for peace with such a powerful, wise rule, of whom it was apparent to all that God clearly favored)!  Of course not.

It is clear that tensions in the Middle East are growing, at least among the governmental leadership.  And as Damascus is the headquarters for Iranian backed Muslim groups, in a regional war, Syria is definitely going to be a target, if they are not an aggressor first (as the Muslim groups have been perpetually seeking to attack and invade Israel with missles and bombs).  The Bible has a prophecy about Damascus in Isaiah 17:1, that Damascus will become a heap of rubble:



"Behold, Damascus is about to be removed from being a city

And will become a fallen ruin.

Isaiah 17:1 (NASB95)


Historically, this prophecy has not been fulfilled, though many of the Biblical prophecies have been fulfilled, especially concerning Israel (and the World's) Messiah (see http://www.clarifyingchristianity.com/m_prophecies.shtml for more detail).  To see that all these specific, detailed prophecies have been fulfilled to the last letter, is comforting, knowing that the LORD, YHWH, is working out His plan for redeeming creation, and all those of humanity who have trusted in the revelation concerning His Son.

But as the tensions rise in the Middle-East, more and more of the pieces fall into place for the upcoming battle described in Ezekiel 38, known as the battle of Magog.  This is going to be a battle such as the world has not seen, and the "lamestream media" is going to have a hard time spinning to their Socialist (Leninist/Hitlerist) agenda.  It may be the battle that ends Atheism, and all the arguments of Christopher Hitchens, whose own brother was transformed by the gospel of peace (2 Cor. 5:17)!

Time is short, my friend.  Do you have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, revealed in the Bible?  He changed my life forever.  He'll change yours.  "This is eternal life, that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent" (Jn 17:3).  If you don't know Him, but want to be saved by the soon coming wrath of God, poured out upon the earth, repent of your sins, and read your Bible, starting with the gospel of John (just look in the table of contents at the front of the Bible).

Blessings to you, my friend.  My prayer for you is that you will escape the wrath to come, and find eternal life in a relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ, who was crucified for your sins (2 Cor. 5:21, Rom. 4:25).

ISRAEL IN AN “UNPRECEDENTED” PERIOD OF SECURITY, BUT IRAN CAN ALREADY PRODUCE A NUCLEAR BOMB « Joel Rosenberg’s Weblog

Joel Rosenberg on his blog monitoring developments in the Middle East, and especially with Israel, quotes Gen. Major Amos Yadlin as saying that the "recent security calm in Israel is unprecendented."
There is one major battle that must take place before the appearance of the lawless one, and a seven-year peace treaty with Israel, described in Ezek. 38. One condition that hadn't been met yet, though many have, is that Israel was not living securely. But apparently now they are. Could this be the time, Joel asks, that Ezek. 38 is referring to?

For a great blog and inidcations of the activities of Russia (Gog?), read his blog:

NewsReal Blog » Hot Post:Sarah Palin Shows Her Feminist Stripes » Print

Suzanne Venker has an excellent post discussing the disingeniousness of Sarah Palin, and her claims of being a conservative (and for what's more, of being evangelical Christian).


In an ever-changing society, one of the things we humans can depend on is that children don’t change. They come in to this world the same way they did one hundred years ago — with the exact same set of needs. Having a parent, particularly a mommy, at home to care for them is one of them.


But don’t tell Sarah Palin that. According to her, those who believe moms should stay home with their kids are “Neanderthals” who need to “get with it” and “evolve.”

Hiding in Plain Sight: The One-World System

Pastor Joe Schimmel continues to fight the good fight. I was at his site, checking out his blog, Cup of Joe, and was reminded of this blog once again, and thought it deserved a re-posting, for all those who haven't seen it. For all of you who didn't notice at the 2009 Pittsburgh G-20 conference, the U.S.A. was placed under control of the Central Bankers of Europe.

The Bible predicted a one-world, totalitarian government, that would trample and crush the world under its feet. To see how this system is already in place, at least economically, read here:

Calvinistic Cartoons: What If #3

Calvinistic Cartoons: What If #3





Russia Planning a War?

Something very interesting has come up recently.  Russia has ordered 5,000 new bomb shelters to be constructed in Moscow.

read here:  http://rt.com/news/prime-time/moscow-bomb-shelters-outskirts/

Of course they play it off saying that there is no war being planned... "it's just that the old shelters are out-date and only house half the city's population" (my paraphrase).  Yeah, right.

The pieces for Ezekiel 38 seem to come into place more and more...

Passionate Letter to an Old Friend

This is a letter I wrote to a friend, minus some personal family content; some evidences hopefully to help him believe.

Hasn't it been fascinating to watch the whole Middle-East situation? Doesn't it seem like Jerusalem is becoming a stone too heavy for the peoples to lift? Even many of the "evangelical churches" and many in the so-called Roman Catholic Church are turning against Israel. And these have been some of their closest allies. I'm not sure how much of the news you've seen, I know you're a bright, informed guy. ;-)



In fact, the prophet Zechariah, foretold that one day all the nations would come against the nation of Israel, that they would all gather against her to destroy her! That days is fast approaching!

2 "Behold, I am going to make Jerusalem a cup that causes reeling to all the peoples around; and when the siege is against Jerusalem, it will also be against Judah. 3 "It will come about in that day that I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples; all who lift it will be severely injured . And all the nations of the earth will be gathered against it.

Zech 12:2-3 (NASB95)



Isn't that so fascinating? The prophet declared this around 2400 yrs ago, and we see the prophesy of Almight God's word being fulfilled. In these verses, the "I" who is speaking is the LORD (all caps) which signifies Yahweh, the name God revealed to Moses, and the name by which He declared He would forever more be known. What's interesting is looking at this and reading Yahweh's persepective. We see all the hostilities and U.N. council meetings and flotillas and Gaza blockade incursions, and Israel bending over backwards to make concessions... but Yahweh says He is doing it!



And just why is He doing all this to His supposedly "chosen people"? Well, the Bible teaches us that everything that God does is for the glory of His great name. The reason that is good, and not entirely selfish and evil, is that His glory is in doing good to the people He has chosen, the elect. Now this doesn't include all of the Jews. Some of them, but even the apostle Paul says "Not all who are descended from Abraham are Jews, but only those who are of the faith of Abraham are Jews."



16 For this reason it is by faith, in order that it may be in accordance with grace, so that the promise will be guaranteed to all the descendants, not only to those who are of the Law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all, Romans 4:16



2 For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God. 3 For what does the Scripture say? "ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD, AND IT WAS CREDITED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS." 4 Now to the one who works, his wage is not credited as a favor, but as what is due. 5 But to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness, 6 just as David also speaks of the blessing on the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from works: 7 "BLESSED ARE THOSE WHOSE LAWLESS DEEDS HAVE BEEN FORGIVEN, AND WHOSE SINS HAVE BEEN COVERED. 8 "BLESSED IS THE MAN WHOSE SIN THE LORD WILL NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT." Romans 4:2-8



Ali... we can see from the prophets words, that the message they declared from the Holy Spirit is being fulfilled in our lives, even today in our lives. If these judgments that God has pronounced against the Jews (and the other nations) are coming true, shouldn't we assume the rest of His Word which He promised to defend, is coming true?

For You have magnified Your word according to all Your name. Psalms 138:2 (NASB95)



Zechariah goes on to tell us why Yahweh, our great God HImself, makes Israel, even Zion itself, as a stone on which the nations who try to lift get hurt. 2 For I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem to battle, and the city will be captured, the houses plundered, the women ravished and half of the city exiled, but the rest of the people will not be cut off from the city. 3 Then the LORD will go forth and fight against those nations, as when He fights on a day of battle. 4 In that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, which is in front of Jerusalem on the east; and the Mount of Olives will be split in its middle from east to west by a very large valley, so that half of the mountain will move toward the north and the other half toward the south... 6 In that day there will be no light; the luminaries will dwindle. 7 For it will be a unique day which is known to the LORD, neither day nor night, but it will come about that at evening time there will be light. 8 And in that day living waters will flow out of Jerusalem, half of them toward the eastern sea and the other half toward the western sea; it will be in summer as well as in winter. 9 And YAHWH will be king over all the earth; in that day the YAHWEH will be the only one, and His name the only one.

Zech 14:2-4, 6-9 (NASB95)

And there you have it. That is why right now, God is letting the Muslim nations, Ahmad., Hizbullah, Al-Qaeda, Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Russia, U.S., etc. gather against Israel. For His glory. He is gathering them to destroy and annihilate all His enemies in the confrontation of confrontations, in the valley of Armageddon, where He will destroy them, with blood to a horse's bridle flowing from the scene. He's doing it for His glory, to defend those who are His by faith in the resurrected Lord Jesus Christ.

Could you follow all of this as I try to explain it to you? Does this make sense to you? Please, friend, I want you to ask me questions. If you have sincere questions, my friend, I want you to understand what is happening, for the salvation of your soul. My friend, I am not concerned if you are on "my side" or whose side ethnically/politically, but I want you to get right with YAHWEH (God). I know that in Islam, there is no true wiping away (forgiveness) of sins, that you stand before Allah, and he weighs your good against the bad. Not so with Yahweh. Those who are of the faith of Abraham, who trust in God's Messiah, the resurrected and coming Christ Jesus, thier sins are wiped cleaned, and God credits to them the sinless righteousness of Jesus. "God made Him who had no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him." (2 Cor 5:21).



Blessings to you my friend. May you come to know Yahweh's righteousness.

"This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Chriset whom You have sent." John 17:3

Will there be a 'Google implant' leading to the Mark of the Beast?

The news just keeps getting better and better, or scarier and scarier, depending on what sort of perspective you have about it. Google CEO announced last month that Google may invent a "implant" to put under the skin. Sound scary?

As the Book of Revelation says, in Chapter 13 verses 16-17:And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a MARK in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the MARK, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.A mark in their right hand that allows people to buy and sell? The match is so close that it’s almost as if the proponents of the “Google implant” – which is just an idea, neither endorsed nor planned by the company – were going out of their way to fulfil the prophecy of Revelation.

...

At the same time, Schmidt envisions a future where we embrace a larger role for machines and technology. “With your permission you give us more information about you, about your friends, and we can improve the quality of our searches,” he said. “We don’t need you to type at all. We know where you are. We know where you’ve been. We can more or less know what you’re thinking about.”
Hmm. Judging by that last paragraph, I’m not sure I trust Schmidt to locate anyone’s creepy line. And why is he so relaxed about people naming the subcutaneous implant after Google? I have just two words of warning for him: Procter and Gamble.
