Religious Political Muslim Scholars want a Religious Political POPE Apology

This Is A Picture of NO TRUTH Wanting Apology From A Corrupted Truth!

During the Tribulation Period “NO TRUTH” SHALL Punish “Corrupted Truth”

Islamic Beast will buck off Mother and her Daughters of “Corrupted Truth”

The Spirit’s Cry to Mother and Daughters Is “Come Out of Her, My People”

Ten Horns Make her desolate, naked, eat her flesh, and burn her with Fire.

There are many churches today failing to teach “the faith” Once Delivered.

Determine for Yourself from the Word the Spirit Wrote Which Ones Do Not!

Believers should know from the Word why they believe what they Practice!

There is a judgment seat of Jesus Christ waiting for believers after trump 7.

And All believers are responsible for what they practiced after being Saved!

Jude 1:3 – Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.

I Timothy 4:1-3 – Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; [2] Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; [3] Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.

II Thessalonians 2:3 – Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

Falling Away – Apostasia – Apostasy – A falling away from the truth – Bullinger Lexicon

On October 28, 312 the Emperor Constantine led the forces of the Roman Empire to victory at the Battle of Milvian Bridge. Tradition has it that, the night before the battle, Constantine had a vision that he would achieve victory if he fought under the Symbol of Christ; accordingly, his soldiers bore on their shields the Chi-Rho sign composed of the first two letters of the Greek word for “Christ” (ΧΡΙΣΤΌΣ).

In 313 the Edict of Milian declared the Roman Empire neutral towards religious views, in effect ending the persecution of Christians.

November 18, 326: Pope Sylvesster consecrated the Basilica of St. Peter built by Constantine the Great over the tomb of the Apostle. It was at this time corrupt leaven teachings and practices began to creep into the Church in Rome.

In February 380: Emperor Theodosius I issued an edict, De Fide Catolica, in Thessalonica, published in Constantinople, declaring Catholic Christianity as the state religion of the Roman Empire Heresy began to increase at the First Ecumenical Council of Constantinople in 381 and at the Council of Rome under Pope Damasus I which set the Canon of the Bible, listing the accepted books of the Old Testament and the New Testament. No others are to be considered scripture.

The changes in the beliefs of the Catholic Church are phenomenal and many of the groups that came out of her are classified as “her daughters.” Unfortunately, the small leaven they carried from her womb has grown in churches that only faintly resemble the local visible Church in Rome in the Apostles Day, and what they teach and practice is quite different from what local churches were teaching and practicing when John wrote the Revelation. The “Woman and Her Daughters” will be judged for their apostasy, their departure from the truth once delivered to the saints, during the tribulation period prior to the seventh trumpet.

Many Daughters, after they leave home and grow older, have a tendency to look, act, and take on the beliefs of their Mother. This can be a very good thing or a very bad thing. It depends on what God thought of the actions of their Mother.

The Mother Catholic Church has given birth to many daughter churches that, as they have grown older century after century, have taken on some of the apostasy beliefs of her teachings.

Revelation 17:1-7,15-18 – 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. 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.

THERE WAS ONLY ONE CITY WHICH RULED THE KNOWN WORLD WHEN JOHN WROTE REVELATION – THE CITY OF ROME.

Revelation 18:4-8 – And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. [5] For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. [6] Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double. [7] How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow. [8] Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.

International Union Of Muslim Scholars: The Pope Must Apologize To The Muslims

September 26, 2012

Special Dispatch No. 4975

On September 13, 2012, the day before Pope Benedict XVI began his visit to Lebanon, the International Union of Muslim Scholars (IUMS), headed by Sheikh Yousuf Al-Qaradhawi, issued a communiqué attacking him. The IUMS called on the pope to apologize for the acts of slaughter committed by the Crusaders in Spain, and for a 2006 lecture in which he claimed that the Muslim religion supports violence.

The following are excerpts from the communique:[1]

The Pope Should Apologize To Muslims “As He Apologized To The Jews”

“While the [International] Union [of Muslim Scholars] is working to calm the rage of Muslims worldwide, [which was aroused] by non-Muslims insulting the honorable Messenger [i.e. the Prophet Muhammad], [so that they] confine themselves to peaceful protests and not attack any embassy or Christian site – it [also] calls on the pope to apologize to Muslims for his lecture [in 2006 in Regensburg, Germany],[2] his apostolic exhortation,[3] and the slaughters committed by the Crusaders [against Muslims] in Andalusia, just as he apologized to the Jews.

“It is known that the IUMS espouses the mainstream [Islamic] ideology, which is based on peaceful coexistence and respecting the rights of others, and calls for constructive dialogue as the best way to solve problems and build balanced relationships. Therefore, the IUMS tried to conduct dialogue with the Vatican, but felt that it was one-sided. In addition, the current pope, in his famous lecture, made false accusations about Islam and its magnificent Messenger, may Allah’s prayer and peace be upon Him. The IUMS demanded that he apologize for the content [of the lecture], but he did not do so. As a result, the IUMS ceased dialogue with the Vatican until [the pope] apologized or until the situation changed…

“During his visit to Lebanon, the pope means to sign the apostolic exhortation, which includes a series of dangerous ideas and messages, among them a clear call to Christianize the world, a warning against the Islamicization of Muslim society; and [attempts to] frighten Christians about political Islam in the region. This helps to spark the fire of fitna among partners in the [Lebanese] homeland (Muslims and their Christian brethren), especially in light of attempts by some Christians to distribute a movie insulting the magnificent Messenger, may Allah’s prayer and peace by upon Him, and attempts by one American pastor to burn the noble Koran, and to set a trial date for the magnificent Messenger…”[4]

The Pope Warns Against Political Islam, But Is Engaged In Political Christianity
“It is strange that at a time when the pope is warning against political Islam, he himself is engaged in political Christianity in the fullest sense of the term. In light of what was mentioned, the IUMS stresses the following:

“1. The IUMS reiterates its call to the pope to apologize for his famous lecture at a German university and for the acts of the Crusaders in Andalusia and Al-Sham [greater Syria] during the Crusades, which included murder, expulsion, arson and tyranny, just as he personally apologized to the Jews for Christian acts against them.

“2. The IUMS calls on the pope not to ratify the document known as the apostolic exhortation and not to sign it, since it contains erroneous information and incites sectarian fitna between Muslims and Christians who have lived as partners in the homeland, as evinced by the leaders of all Islamic movements stressing the full rights of Christians.

“3. The IUMS demands that Islamic countries and peoples fulfill their duty to their ummah and their faith by applying political and economic pressure in order to defend Islam and weak minorities.

“4. The IUMS demands that Muslim scholars fulfill their duties of guidance and explaining the truth.”

[2] In a September 12, 2006 lecture delivered in Regensburg, Germany, Pope Benedict XVI described Islam as a religion that supports violence and is spread by the force of the sword.

6 former Episcopal clergymen are ordained in Catholic Church

United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, pastors By Jim Jones Fort Worth Star-Telegram Article

Special to the Star-Telegram

KELLER — Under a huge dome with images of winged angels, six former Fort Worth-area Episcopal clergymen — including a father and son — lay facedown at a marble altar Saturday and were ordained as priests in the Roman Catholic Church.

In what officials called a historic moment, Fort Worth Catholic Bishop Kevin Vann and other white-robed priests in the diocese laid hands on the priests at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church in Keller to welcome them.

It was the first ordination class under Pope Benedict XVI’s new Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of St. Peter, created Jan. 1 to allow Episcopal priests to be ordained as Catholic clergy and for Episcopal congregations to join the Roman Catholic Church.

The priests’ wives carried in vestments that the priests later donned, assisted by other clergy. Then, standing before Vann, the priests each said, “I will” in answer to his questions about whether they will faithfully carry out their responsibilities.

More than 1,000 in the church stood and applauded.

The ordinariate is headed by a former Fort Worth Episcopal priest, Monsignor Jeffrey Steenson, who earlier converted to Catholicism.

“This is very moving for me today personally,” Steenson said. “These men were all part of my generation, and we all served in Fort Worth.”

The pope created the ordinariate to help Episcopal churches and clergy who want to become Catholic but keep part of their Anglican roots.

It’s an enlargement of a system begun by Pope John Paul II in 1981 that first allowed married Episcopal priests to become Catholic clergy.

“We are Catholics now with an Anglican heritage,” said one of the ordained priests, the Rev. Charles Hough III, a former high-ranking official in the Episcopal Diocese of Fort Worth. In what officials said was a rare happening, son Charles Hough IV was ordained with his father.

“My feeling is that I’m just overjoyed by the whole thing,” the elder Hough said. “I’m blessed to say my son’s a part of it, too. That’s an added bonus. I am so proud of my son. He’s such a fine young priest.”

The younger Hough was recently named pastor of Our Lady of Walsingham Ordinariate Parish in Houston, which will be the principal church of the ordinariate under which the former Episcopal priests will serve.

“It’s a great honor,” the younger Hough said. “And I’m absolutely delighted and honored to be ordained with my dad.”

The six are among 35 Episcopal priests to be ordained this summer, Steenson said.

Sixty former Episcopal priests are expected to be ordained by year’s end, he said. “This is by far the largest class.”

The new ordinariate has a decidedly Fort Worth flavor.

Steenson, a former rector of St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church in Fort Worth and former bishop of the Diocese of the Rio Grande, based in Albuquerque, heads the Houston-based ordinariate. The ordinariate is much like a diocese with a broader scope.

Steenson said his ordinariate “stretches from Newfoundland to Hawaii and from the Rio Grande to the Arctic Circle.”Since Steenson is married, he’s not eligible to be a Catholic bishop. His role as ordinary is similar to a bishop’s. He will have voting rights with the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.

Vann serves as a member of the governing council of the ordinariate. In October, he was appointed ecclesiastical delegate for pastoral provision, a position created by the Vatican to assist Anglican priests in becoming ordained as Catholic clergy.

Steenson and the six men ordained opposed many of the changes in the Episcopal Church, including the ordination of gay priests and bishops.

All emphasized, however, that those issues were not central in their decisions to convert.

“Hopefully we understand that this is not just about being opposed to something,” Steenson said.

“If you were just opposed to something, you don’t want to join the Catholic Church. It’s a lot more than that.”

The Rev. Mark Cannaday said his ordination ends a long journey.

“My decision had nothing to do with current issues,” he said, adding that he has been drawn to elements of Catholicism for many years.

The younger Hough said: “For me, it’s not running away from something or saying the Episcopal Church is falling apart. My decision was going toward truth. To me, the current issues in the Episcopal Church are symptoms of a greater problem, and that was authority. There was no authority to say this was or was not part of Christian practice.”

One of those ordained, the Rev. Christopher Stainbrook, was the longtime rector of St. Timothy’s Episcopal Church in Fort Worth and led most of his members into converting to Catholicism. Now his Catholic group meets at St. Mary of the Assumption Catholic Church in Fort Worth.

“As you might remember, St. Timothy has always been very, very Catholic in practice,” Stainbrook said.

“This is just a natural progression.”

The Rev. Timothy Perkins said he and others who left the Episcopal Church looked forward to what promised to be greater Anglican-Catholic unity.

“We saw the gap become wider because of various doctrinal decisions,” Perkins said. “The appointment of gay priests and bishops was really late. It began much earlier with other decisions, including the ending of the tradition of an all-male priesthood.”

The Rev. Joshua Whitfield was ordained on his 34th birthday. He said controversies in the Episcopal Church had a minor role in his decision.

“I didn’t like the turmoil,” he said. “I didn’t like the left and I didn’t like the right.”

The decay of the Old World Christianity is Completed

Since The CROSS Satan HAS Corrupted MANY Groups

From The SIMPLICITY Of God’s TRUTH In Christ Jesus

God Knew the Devil would cause the Great Apostasy

In the LATTER Days Of the New Testament Churches.

There Are MANY Different IDEAS ON HOW To Worship

At The End GOD ALONE WILL DECIDE Who Was Right!

The Bible Teaches What God Considers To Be Correct.

MAKE SURE YOUR DOCTRINE Agrees With HIS Opinion!

OUR OPINION Isn’t Always Right, HIS IS NEVER Wrong.

Those who always think they are right NEVER Change,

Never Changing their MINDS as they STUDY HIS Word

Seeking The Approval of Man Rather Than that of God

Desiring the praise of man rather than God’s Approval.

Colossians 3:23-25 – And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; [24] Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ. [25] But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.

II Timothy 2:15 – Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

John 6:62,63 – What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before? [63] It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

John 14:18-20 – I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. [19] Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. [20] At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.

John 10:30,31 –I and my Father are one. [31] Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.

John 4:24 – God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

Colossians 2:9,10 – For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. [10] And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:

Philippians 2:5 – Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

II Corinthians 11:3 – But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

II Peter 3:9 – The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that ALL should come to REPENTANCE.

Matthew 3:1,2 – In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea, [2] And saying, REPENT YE: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

Mark 1:14,15 – Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, [15] And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: REPENT YE, and believe the gospel.

Acts 20:20,21 – And how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but have shewed you, and have taught you PUBLICKLY, and from house to house, [21] Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, REPENTENCE toward God, and FAITH toward our Lord Jesus Christ.

Matthew 7:21-29 – Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. [22] Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? [23] And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. [24] Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: [25] And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. [26] And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: [27] And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it. [28] And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine: [29] For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes. John 10:30 – I and my Father are one.
Jude 22-25 –And of some have compassion, making a difference: [23] And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh. [24] Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, [25] To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.

The fire is not “the fire” of Hell. It is the fire of punishment for “falling away” from the truth of the Word in apostasy.

Hebrews 10:30,31 – For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord SHALL JUDGE HIS PEOPLE. [31] It is a fearful thing to fall into THE HANDS of the living God.

II Thessalonians 2:3 – Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come A FALLING AWAY FIRST, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

The falling away, the apostasy, has been going on for a very long time. It has accelerated in these latter days. Countless changes in doctrine are now taught in church buildings and in the media across the earth. It is the responsibility of all believers to seek truth and avoid error from the hour they were saved to the day they draw their last breath.

Revelation 18:4 – And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not PARTAKERS of her sins, and that ye RECEIVE NOT of her PLAGUES.

Many daughters, after they leave home and grow older, have a tendency to look and act like their mother. Some ecumenical daughters are looking more and more like their mother.

The Apostate Mother Church and her churches, as well as Apostate Daughters that came out of her in “The Great Reformation” and have NOW become apostate from THE faith ONCE delivered to the early New Testament Churches, will be judged by God in the Tribulation Period prior to vials of his wrath. God used the Assyrian rulers to punish the apostate Northern Kingdom of Israel in 700 BC. He will use the Assyrian Antichrist from Greater Syria in this generation to punish the apostates in Europe, Africa, Eurasia, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia. I believe this Syrian will eventually arise out of the old “Greater Syria” in the wake of the eventual disposal of President Bashar Assad.

Revelation 17:16,17 – 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.

Matthew 24:35 – Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

ARCHIVE PROPHECY UPDATE NUMBER 66 ON MICAH 5

A Series from Prophecy Updates 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 69, and 69

WHAT IS THE NATIONALITY OF THE ANTICHRIST?

Part 5

May 3, 2003

Micah 5:1-4 – Now gather thyself in troops, O daughter of troops: he hath laid siege against us: they shall smite the judge of Israel with a rod upon the cheek. [2] But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting. [3] Therefore will he give them up, until the time that she which travaileth hath brought forth: then the remnant of his brethren shall return unto the children of Israel. [4] And he shall stand and feed in the strength of the Lord, in the majesty of the name of the Lord his God; and they shall abide: for now shall he be great unto the ends of the earth.

These verses, exposited in Parts 1 through 4, were written more than 700 years before the birth of Christ. And yet they present: Bethlehem as His birthplace, His rejection as ruler over Israel, His last Passover in the daughter of troops Jerusalem, His head beatings by the troops of Pontius Pilate, Herod, and the High Priest, His rejection as the judge of Israel, His Father’s siege against Israel because of their rejection of the Son (which has lasted some 2000 years), Christ’s temporary rejection of Israel, His Second Advent as Messiah after Israel’s travail of 1260 days in the Negev Wilderness, at which time His brethren will return with Him to the nation of Israel, and the first 1000 years of His eternal kingdom, which phases into the final heaven age when the present earth and heavens pass away.

Micah 5:5 – And this man shall be the peace, when the Assyrian shall come into our land: and when he shall tread in our palaces, then shall we raise against him seven shepherds, and eight principal men.

Now, in verse 5, we find that “this man” will himself “be the peace” because He personally brings it in by Himself when he returns to be “great unto the ends of the earth” for 1000 years. “This man” who brings “the peace” of a thousand years is, of course, Jesus Christ. He is the primary contextual subject from verses 1 through 5. What happens to motivate His return to bring in the millennial reign is the movement of the Assyrian into the land of Israel. It is the final defeat and destruction of “the Assyrian” that will mark Christ’s Second Advent, and the beginning of His millennial reign.

When Micah wrote his prophecies the Assyrians had already driven into the northern Kingdom of Israel, and all that remained of Israel proper was its southern Kingdom of Judah. So what were the borders of the land of Assyria when Micah wrote the fifth chapter of his book? The borders of the Assyrian territory stretched northward from roughly where Ramallah is located in the West Bank to the present day southern border of Turkey, and eastward to the Mediterranean Sea to establish its western limits, then westward across the Euphrates River to the Tigris River north of modern Baghdad in Iraq. Technically, I suppose one might be able to say this future “Assyrian” might come out of southern Turkey, northern Iraq, or Lebanon, but since modern day Syria occupies some 85% of the area covered by the Assyrian empire at the time of Micah’s writings, I am persuaded the Assyrian antichrist will come out of Syria. The possible argument that Micah 5:5 was fulfilled during the old Assyrian invasion of Micah’s day, is thwarted by the context pattern of the four verses before it all still being unfulfilled at the time they were written, and then being linked contextually to verse 5 by “this man,” and “the peace.” Additionally, this argument is smashed by the verse that follows it.

Micah 5:6 – And they shall waste the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in the entrances thereof: thus shall he deliver us from the Assyrian, when he cometh into our land, and when he treadeth within our borders.

From the time of Micah’s writings to the present day, Israel has never “wasted the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in the entrances thereof.” I will exposit specifically on both these locations in Prophecy Update Number 67, Lord willing.

The “Assyrian” of Micah 5:5 is not a European, an American, a Russian, an Eskimo, an Aborigine, an Ethiopian, or a platypus. He is an Assyrian, who becomes chief prince of the land where the descendants of Meshech and Tubal were dwelling when Ezekiel wrote his prophecies. I will elaborate on this in future updates, Lord willing. The expression involving “seven shepherds and eight principal men” is most assuredly an oft used Hebrew idiom. It was the Hebrew manner of expressing “more than enough.” Seven is the Hebrew word for “complete,” implying “enough,” and when “eight” is added to it, the expression means “more than enough.” When the Assyrian comes into Israel, and treads within its borders north of Beersheba for 1260 days, then Jesus will return to restore peace for 1000 years on this planet. Christ’s Second Advent is accompanied by some 5/6 of the Assyrian’s armies being destroyed by the brightness of His coming. His destruction of the Assyrian and his false prophet will make whatever force Israel is able to muster up in the Negev for the battle of Armageddon “more than enough.”

When the Assyrian sets on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, as the willful King of the North preparing to launch his final attack on Israel at the battle of Armageddon, he will be beyond all help by men and Satan.

I Thessalonians 5:3,4 – For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. [4] But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.

Ezekiel 38:14-16 – Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord God; In that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know it? [15] And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army: [16] And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes.

Zechariah 13:8,9 – And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the Lord, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein. [9] And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The Lord is my God.

Revelation 12:6 –And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.

Daniel 11:45 – And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.

II Thessalonians 2:8 – And 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:

Revelation 19:19-21 – And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. [20] And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. [21] And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.

Ezekiel 38:22 to 39:2 – And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone. [23] Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the Lord. [1] Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal: [2] And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee, and will cause thee to come up from the north parts, and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel:

Micah 5:5,6 – And this man shall be the peace, when the Assyrian shall come into our land: and when he shall tread in our palaces, then shall we raise against him seven shepherds, and eight principal men. [6] And they shall waste the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in the entrances thereof: thus shall he deliver us from the Assyrian, when he cometh into our land, and when he treadeth within our borders.

One day of doubt

Op-ed: On Yom Kippur God reminds us that most atrocities are committed in the name of ‘justice’

Yair Lapid

September 28, 2012

More than anything else, Yom Kippur is a lesson in humility, because it not only demands that we ask for forgiveness, it also forces us to recognize that we make mistakes and that we are not as righteous as we would like to believe.

This demand is painful because it forces us to doubt ourselves. Admitting that we made a mistake is not our first instinct. Most of the time we prefer to walk around in this world with a high opinion of ourselves and believe that we are right and everyone else is wrong.

But God knows that He alone should be in charge of justice, because humans will eventually abuse it. Most of the terrible events in history occurred because people were certain they were right.

So once a year God reminds us that most murders, wars and injustices were committed by people who told themselves they were fighting for justice.

It may seem impossible in our eyes, but our worst enemies are also convinced that they are right. The human filth that surrounds us – Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran, jihadists, al-Qaeda – if you hook them up to a polygraph and ask them if they are right, the needle won’t move when they say “yes.”

And when asked why they are so certain they are right, this despicable bunch will reply, “Because God told us.” Or as we say in the Middle East: “My God is better than your God.”

There is no point in telling them they are wrong and that they are merely trying to justify atrocious acts, but after thousands of years of blood and Qassam rocket fire it is hard to blame God for not trusting mankind. We have an innate inclination do bad things in his name.

‘Where did I go wrong?

Even within Israel we have dozens of versions of God: The god of the Ashkenaz ultra-Orthodox, the god of the hasidim, the god of the Lithuanians (who do not consider the Hhsidim to be Jews), the god of those who wear knitted kippas, the god of those who wear big white kippas and the god of those who wear their small kippas on the side of their heads.; there is the god of that hill in Samaria which must not be evacuated; the god of the Military Rabbinate, which buries Russian soldiers outside the cemetery’s grounds; the god of the Reformist women who want to pray at the Kotel wrapped in a tallit and the god of the religious Jews who want to throw stones at these women.

Shall I continue? There is the god of those who kiss mezuzot and those who pray at the tombs of the righteous; the god of the traditionalists who go to a movie immediately after Kiddush; the god of the ‘Taliban mothers’ and the god of Beitar Jerusalem fans, who will defeat the god of Maccabi Haifa’s supporters; there is the god of those who refuse to admit Sephardic girls to their schools because God (what God?) told them personally that is was okay to do so.

These groups are so different from one another it is sometimes hard to believe they are all part of the same nation, the same book, the same set of laws. The only thing they have in common is that they are all convinced their version is the correct one and that everyone else is talking nonsense.

Such arrogance.

This exaggerated pride is the reason we need Yom Kippur so much. So that all those who told themselves that only they understand God will have to ask for forgiveness.

Because the God of Israel decided to save us from our own weaknesses and gave us Judaism’s holiest day to keep us from becoming the victims of our own hubris. He gave us one day a year on which we must stop everything and remind ourselves that no one is allowed to speak in His name.

God commanded us to put everything on hold and look at ourselves with courage and honesty. Then you will realize that I did not say any of those things, you did, He said. This is not my justice, but your self-righteousness. This is not a decree from the heavens, but your need to feel superior to others.

I will not allow you to use me, God said, to justify racism and sanction violence or use me as an excuse to unleash your darkest instincts.

Judaism is a religion of choice. That is part of its moral fortitude. But there is no choice without doubt. There is no choice without trying to understand the other side’s position as well. The ability to ask for forgiveness is also the ability to accept the other; to accept the fact that he is different and has his own justice. We ask forgiveness not only for our bad deeds, but for the fact that at the time we committed them we did not realize they were bad.

Why do we need a special day in order to look inward? Because normally we don’t. Because it is easier to tell yourself that you are right; that they don’t understand; that God told you.

But God did not tell you anything. Instead he sent us to synagogue on this day so that we will torture our souls with the question “Where did we go wrong?”

As I analyze this decree I am filled with respect for the divine wisdom. Because people who ask themselves, “Where did I go wrong?” are inherently better than those who tell themselves, “I am right!”

President Obama’s Policies have weakened Our Resolve, strengthened Our Enemies, and caused Our Friends to Doubt Our Leadership!

Insanity of Obama Fruitcake Policy of Diplomatic Dialog with Iran

Has been clearly stated in speeches of Iranian leaders for Years

But I will say this – They are transparent – U.S. President is Not!

Ahmadinejad’s intensions are transparent, but Obama’s are Not.

Both Have This In Common – They Do Anything To Stay In Office.

Who Knows? Perhaps God raised Them Up for End Times!

They Seem To Fit The Personalities Of Some Before Them!

God Raised Up Nebuchadnezzar and the Exodus Pharaoh

Knowing They Would Abuse Israel, The Apple Of HIS EYE!

We Have Such World Presidents Today That ARE Doing It.

The unwise World Rulers today aren’t Kissing the Son,

Because They Refuse to put their Trust in His Sacrifice,

And TRY To Water Down The Instructions In HIS Word!

September 28, 2012

http://www.tribulationperiod.com/

President Obama’s foreign policies and cover up techniques have weakened the resolve of American patriotism, given strength to our enemies, caused our allies to lose respect for our world leadership, and created an internal Obamagate atmosphere. Jeremiah wrote of the religious spiritual condition of Israel in his day. The leaders had stopped teaching and preaching the truth God had delivered to them. They did it for love of financial and political gain. They violated what it said to suit the desires of the people. A majority of religious leaders have reached this state of preaching what the people want to hear, and the “people love to have it so.”

Jeremiah 5:31 – The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?

“The end thereof” was the destruction of the temple and the carrying away of the people into the long Babylonian captivity.

Once the people turn far enough away from God, we do find at times God causes their consciences to be seared over, then raise up leaders like the world has today, and uses them as instruments of judgmental punishment of that generation.

Psalm 81:11-15 – But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would none of me. [12] So I gave them up unto their own hearts’ lust: and they walked in their own counsels. [13] Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, and Israel had walked in my ways! [14] I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries. [15] The haters of the Lord should have submitted themselves unto him: but their time should have endured for ever.

Romans 1:24-28 – Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: [25] Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. [26] For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: [27] And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. [28] And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

Psalm 75:6-10 – For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. [7] But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another. [8] For in the hand of the Lord there is a cup, and the wine is red; it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same: but the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out, and drink them. [9] But I will declare for ever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob. [10] All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.

Isaiah 10:5,6 – O Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, and the staff in their hand is mine indignation. [6] I will send him against an hypocritical nation, and against the people of my wrath will I give him a charge, to take the spoil, and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.

Exodus 14:9-19 – But the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them encamping by the sea, beside Pi-hahiroth, before Baal-zephon. [10] And when Pharaoh drew nigh, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and, behold, the Egyptians marched after them; and they were sore afraid: and the children of Israel cried out unto the Lord. [11] And they said unto Moses, Because there were no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? wherefore hast thou dealt thus with us, to carry us forth out of Egypt? [12] Is not this the word that we did tell thee in Egypt, saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians? For it had been better for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness. [13] And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever. [14] The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace. [15] And the Lord said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward: [16] But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea. [17] And I, behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall follow them: and I will get me honour upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen. [18] And the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I have gotten me honour upon Pharaoh, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen. [19] And the angel of God, which went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went from before their face, and stood behind them:

Daniel 2:19-22,42-44 – Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a night vision. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven. [20] Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his: [21] And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding: [22] He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him. [42] And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken. [43] And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay. [44] And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.

Zechariah 11:16 – For, lo, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, which shall not visit those that be cut off, neither shall seek the young one, nor heal that that is broken, nor feed that that standeth still: but he shall eat the flesh of the fat, and tear their claws in pieces.

Proverbs 8:15-17 – By me kings reign, and princes decree justice. [16] By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the earth. [17] I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.

Psalm 2:1-12 – Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? [2] The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying, [3] Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. [4] He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. [5] Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure. [6] Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. [7] I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. [8] Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. [9] Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel. [10] Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth. [11] Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling. [12] Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

Excerpt 1 – New York Times

Iran’s President Spreads the Outrage in New York

Rick Gladstone and Neil MacFarquhar

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran stoked the anger of Israel, the U.S., and Syrian insurgents on Monday during his visit to the UN. Ahmadinejad said the Israelis had been around the region for only 60 or 70 years, in contrast to the Iranians, whose civilization has existed for thousands of years. “They have no roots there in history,” Ahmadinejad said of the Israelis.

Regarding Syria, Ahmadinejad denied accusations that his country is helping the military of President Assad. Syrian insurgents and their backers, including the U.S., have said the Iranians are arming and training Syria’s military. (New York Times)

Excerpt 2 – Jerusalem Post

Israeli Envoy Walks Out of Ahmadinejad’s UN Speech

Herb Keinon

Israel’s UN envoy, Ron Prosor, demonstratively walked out of a UN session Monday on the rule of law when Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad took to the podium to speak. “The leader of an outlaw country that is a serial violator of the fundamental principles of the rule of law has no place in this hall,” Prosor said. Letting Ahmadinejad address the UN on the issue was like “appointing an arsonist as fire chief.” (Jerusalem Post)

Excerpt 3 – Globe and Mail (Canada)

Iranian President’s UN Appearance Memorable for the Wrong Reasons

Paul Koring

Iran’s outspoken President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad opened his eighth foray to New York City for the UN General Assembly. The Iranian threatened Israel – again – with elimination, but opined that he wished al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden had been given a fair trial. “President Ahmadinejad says foolish, offensive and sometimes unintelligible things with great regularity,” remarked President Barack Obama’s spokesman Jay Carney.

U.S. AND Europe TRIED TO AVOID WW-2 BY Friendly Diplomatic Dialog!!

America WATCHED an Evil Axis Expand and conquer in Asia AND Europe

America Used No Force On Evil Axis From 1935 To 1941 In a Depression

But ran away from a fear of the consequences associated with Warfare

Determination to avoid a use of Force against the Axis Speeded WW -2

America has used little or no Force on Syria, Iran, and North Korea Axis

And Failure to use Force against today’s Evil Axis Speeds Mid-East War!

Iran’s Jafari Says Nations Shall Surely See Military Conflict in the Future,

But goes on to stress it is Not Clear when and where war will take Place.

I Know from the Scriptures Where it Will Occur, But NOT When it Begins.

That is One of the Reasons Believers are Constantly Reminded to Watch!

“To Watch” Means TO NOT BE ASLEEP Spiritually WHEN IT DOES Happen.

A guard caught asleep by “Captain of the Temple’ was in serious Trouble.

Losing his outer garment since he was Not aware of What was Occurring.

September 27, 2012

http://www.tribulationperiod.com/

If a temple guard was caught asleep by the captain of the temple, the bottom of his outer garment was set on fire to awaken him, and he would run screaming across the temple platform, removing his outer garment. None ever died from the burns suffered, but the guard was public embarrassed for the rest of his life.

Acts 4:1 – And as they spake unto the people, the priests, and the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees, came upon them,

BELIEVERS ARE INSTRUCTED TO NOT BE SPIRITUALLY ASLEEP

I Thessalonians 5:4-6 – But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. [5] Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. [6] Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.

Mark 13:29-37 – So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors. [30] Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done. [31] Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. [32] But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. [33] Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is. [34] For the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch. [35] Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning: [36] Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. [37] And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.

CHURCHES ARE ADVISED TO NOT BE SPIRITUALLY ASLEEP

Revelation 3:13-22 – He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. [14] And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; [15] I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. [16] So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. [17] Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: [18] I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. [19] As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. [20] Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. [21] To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. [22] He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

Report: Hezbollah increases support for Syrian regime

Washington Post says Nasrallah sends members of his own militia to fight rebels, quoting US and Lebanese officials

Ynet

September 27, 2012

Hezbollah has ramped up its support for the Syrian government, sending in military advisers to aid in the bloody struggle against the opposition, US and Lebanese government officials say.

The Washington Post reported Thursday that support had increased since a July 18 bomb attack in Damascus that killed four senior security officials, including Assef Shawkat, Assad’s brother-in-law.

• Syrian rebels down jet; move HQ to Syria

“Hezbollah has been active in supporting the Syrian regime with their own militia,” said a Lebanese government official allied with a political bloc opposed to Hezbollah. “They’ve been quite involved in a combat role, quite involved in fighting.”

According to the source, quiet burials are being held in Hezbollah-dominated areas of Lebanon, with the families of the “martyrs” warned not to discuss the circumstances of their sons’ deaths.

US officials did not confirm Hezbollah’s involvement in fighting in Syria but earlier this month accused the Shiite group of aiding Assad’s regime. The US Treasury Department announced sanctions against Hassan Nasrallah and two other Hezbollah leaders in connection with the group’s activities in Syria.

The department accused Hezbollah of “providing training, advice, and extensive logistical support to the Government of Syria.” Hezbollah has also helped the Syrian government push rebel forces from some areas in Syria, the Treasury Department said.

Assad is also receiving support from his strongest ally – Iran. Late last month, a top Iranian general admitted that Iran is sending troops to help Syria fight the rebels.

Meanwhile, members of the Revolutionary Guards told the Wall Street Journal that Tehran sent hundreds of soldiers to Syria as well as military equipment and cash through Iranian firms in Iraq.

War with Israel will eventually happen’

Revolutionary Guard’s Chief Jafari says two nations will surely see military conflict in the future, stresses ‘it is not clear when and where’ war will take place.

Dudi Cohen, AFP

September 22, 2012

A war between Iran and Israel “will eventually happen,” Revolutionary Guards commander General Mohammad Ali Jafari said Saturday.

“Israel seeks war with us, but it’s not clear when the war will occur,” Jafari was quoted by the ISNA and Fars agencies as saying. “Right now they see war as the only method of confrontation,” he said.

Related stories:

• Report: Revolutionary Guard downsizing overseas ops

Jafari further expressed confidence that the Islamic Republic “will destroy the Jewish state… This cancerous tumor Israel seeks to launch a war against us, but we do not know when it will happen. If they start (aggression), this will lead to their destruction,” he declared.

Israel’s threats of a strike Iran “Only prove that their enmity with Islam and the revolution is serious, and eventually this enmity will lead to physical conflict,” Jafari said.

“We are making all efforts to increase our defensive capabilities so that if there is an attack… we could defend ourselves and other countries that need our help with high defensive capabilities.”

Last week, Jafari warned that “Nothing will remain” of Israel, should it strike Iran’s nuclear facilities.

Jafari said Iran’s response to any attack would encompass all of Israel’s borders, thus hinting that Tehran will not hesitate to use its regional proxies, Hezbollah and Hamas.

He further cautioned that if attacked, “Iran will no longer be committed to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.”

Also on Saturday, Brigadier General Abdul-Rahim Moussavi, deputy commander of the Iranian Army, warned the Islamic Republic’s enemies of Tehran’s “crushing response” to any strike on its soil.

“In case of an aggression, the enemy will face something that it has never expected,” Moussavi said.

“After all, our enemies are soldiers too, and they know that we have not displayed everything we have,” he told Fars.

If Israel dares “Embark on such a crazy move, it will speed up its annihilation,” he stated.

The military officials’ comments came on the heels of an Iranian power display – a military parade showcasing its ground and air capabilities – held on Friday in Tehran to mark Sacred Defense Week and the 32nd anniversary of the Iraq-Iran war.

As part of the parade, the Revolutionary Guard showcased its various surface-to-surface and surface-to-air missiles.

Revelation 11:1,2 – And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein. [2] But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.

Joel 3:8-17 – And I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the children of Judah, and they shall sell them to the Sabeans, to a people far off: for the Lord hath spoken it. [9] Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up: [10] Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruninghooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong. [11] Assemble yourselves, and come, all ye heathen, and gather yourselves together round about: thither cause thy mighty ones to come down, O Lord. [12] Let the heathen be wakened, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat: for there will I sit to judge all the heathen round about. [13] Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come, get you down; for the press is full, the fats overflow; for their wickedness is great. [14] Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision. [15] The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining. [16] The Lord also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the Lord will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel. [17] So shall ye know that I am the Lord your God dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain: then shall Jerusalem be holy, and there shall no strangers pass through her any more.

[9] And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory. [10] And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain, [11] And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds. [12] 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.

[16] And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon. [17] And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.

These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.

Jude 1:14,15 – And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, [15] To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.

Revelation 11:18 – (Last phrase in verse – “And and shouldest destroy them which DESTROY the earth.)”

Galatians 2:18 – For if I build again the things which I DESTROYED, I make myself a transgressor.

The same inspired word translated as DESTROY and DESTROYED can be interpreted to mean to physically destroy the flesh or those who are morally corrupting the earth by their uncontrolled carnal natures. Considering these two passages, I believe Revelation 11:18 refers to God destroying the physical flesh of those on the earth by his wrath since they are the ones who corrupted the earth by their completely depraved lost souls, but would not repent. They absolutely refused to give glory to God.

Revelation 16:8,9 – And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire. [9] And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.

Romans 10:13 – For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Iran: Strike a chance to wipe Israel off map

Begin Excerpt from YNet News

Tehran’s military officials continue to threaten Israel with annihilation should it strike nuclear facilities; warn that US involvement in conflict will trigger WW3

“If the Zionists act against Iran it will be a historic opportunity for the Islamic Revolution to wipe them off the world’s geographic history,” Deputy Commander of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Brig.-Gen. Hossein Salami declared Sunday.

According to the Fars news agency, Salami stressed that Iran is “No longer concerned by the Zionist regime’s threats” to strike the country’s nuclear facilities.

“If war with Iran breaks out it will be the doing of an international coalition headed by America,” he said.

Iran’s Aerospace Force Commander Amir Ali Hajizadeh further warned that Tehran could launch a preemptive strike against Israel if it becomes convinced that Jerusalem was gearing to attack it.

Speaking with Iran’s Al-Alam TV, Hajizadeh said: “Iran will not start any war but it could launch a preemptive attack if it was sure that the enemies are putting the final touches to attack it.”

Hajizadeh said any attack on Iranian soil could trigger World War III: “We cannot imagine the Zionist regime starting a war without America’s support. Therefore, in case of a war, we will get into a war with both of them and we will certainly get into a conflict with American bases.”

“In that case, unpredictable and unmanageable things would happen and it could turn into a World War Three.”

Earlier Sunday, a senior Iranian MP said that if Tehran will end up cutting ties with the IAEA, its chief, Yukiya Amano, will be the one to blame: “Amano’s frequent visits to Tel Aviv prove that the information about the Iranian nuclear program is given to the Zionist regime (by him).”

Javad Jahangir-Zadeh, a member of Iran’s parliamentary committee on national security and foreign policy, added that if the IAEA “continues in its ways,” Tehran would be forced to sever all ties with it.

On Saturday, Revolutionary Guards Commander General Mohammad Ali Jafari said that a war between Israel and Iran was inevitable.

“Israel seeks war with us, but it’s not clear when the war will occur,” Jafari was quoted by the ISNA and Fars agencies as saying. “Right now they see war as the only method of confrontation,” he said.

Iran also threatened to attack US bases in event of war: Hajizadeh warned Sunday that the Islamic Republic will target US bases in the Persian Gulf should a war with Israel break out.

Hajizadeh said that no Israeli attack can happen without the United States’ involvement, making all US military bases a legitimate target.

He warned that Gulf states would be “dragged into war” because Iran will attack US bases in Bahrain, Qatar and Afghanistan.
