A New Heaven – A New Earth and a Holy City Kingdom with Dominion! 

Part 1

March 31, 2014

All the Saved will live in glorified bodies on the New Earth for all Eternity

The King shall Determine where His Children Live Based on Faithfulness

The Kingdom of God is where He Positions Himself in the New Jerusalem

The Saved He determines to have been Faithful shall Live in his Holy City

The Rest of the Saved will Live outside the New Jerusalem in its Dominion

Revelation 21:1-3 – 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.

Daniel 7:13,14 – I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. [14] And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.

Isaiah 9:6,7 – For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. [7] Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.

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:

Luke 22:28-34 – Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations. [29] And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me; [30] That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.  [31] And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: [32] But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.  [33] And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both into prison, and to death. [34] And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me.

John 21:1-3,17-22 – After these things Jesus shewed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and on this wise shewed he himself. [2] There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two other of his disciples. [3] Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered into a ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing.  [17] He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep. [18] Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not. [19] This spake he, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me. [20] Then Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved following; which also leaned on his breast at supper, and said, Lord, which is he that betrayeth thee? [21] Peter seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man do? [22] Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? follow thou me.

A Novice has withdrawn from the World Power Table of Spiritual Evil

Children of Darkness are in their Day wiser than the Children of Light

For We Wrestle not against Flesh and Blood, But Against Principalities,

Against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, Against

Spiritual Wickedness in High Places.  The US has stopped wrestling Evil

And the spirit of Antichrist is corrupting more Hearts every passing Day

This will get worse till the Archangel Michael Stands Up to Defend Israel

When Trump 7 Sounds and the Saved are caught up for Jesus’ Judgment

While the Armageddon Lost are being bombarded by 7 vials of His Wrath

Daniel 11:45 to 12:1 – 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.  [1] And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.

Revelation 11:15,18 – And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.  [18] And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; AND SHOULDEST DESTROY THEM WHICH DESTROY THE EARTH.

Matthew 24:2,-22 – For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. [22] And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.

I Thessalonians 5:9 – For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,

Ephesians 6:12 – For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Bullinger’s Lexicon – The word translated “high” refers to “heavenly placea”

Satan’s Kingdom is in Greater Syria

The Beast’s Seat Is To the West of the Euphrates From Syria To Kuwait

Revelation 16:10-12 – 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.

The spirit of Antichrist has Operated on this Earth for a very Long Time

And He has been Growing in Power since the End of the War in Vietnam     

II Thessalonians 2:8-12 – 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: [9] Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, [10] And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. [11] And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: [12] That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

The Devil will attempt to Counterfeit the 3 Offices of God at Armageddon

Revelation 16:13-21 – 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. [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. [18] And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great. [19] And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath. [20] And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. [21] And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.

But his armies, his Antichrist & false prophet will the destroyed, and The

Devil will be cast into, and sealed in, earth’s interior for a Thousand Years

Revelation 19:19 to 20:3 – 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.  [1] And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. [2] And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, [3] And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.

Obama’s foreign policy disarray

Op-ed: Weakness of US president’s actions as measured against power of his words has sown cynicism in international arena and weakened Western World.

Rafael Castro

March 28, 2014

Barack Obama is beyond doubt a gifted orator. Speeches propelled him to the political limelight, speeches were decisive in landing him US presidential election victories and similarly, the venting of lofty thoughts secured him a Nobel Prize generally reserved for figures who have devoted decades of their lives to serving a civil or humanitarian cause.

Obama’s problem is his belief that international disputes can be solved with rhetoric – that foreign policy can be staged like a political primary where the right speech rallies young and old, poor and rich, rabbis and imams behind a common struggle for peace and freedom.

Meanwhile, the Arab Spring sponsored by the White House has become a by-word for civil war, anarchy or the return of military dictatorships. The international ban on the use of chemical weapons has been brazenly breached by Assad in Syria. Iran is on its way to becoming a nuclear threshold state – and as long as this threshold is not publicly breached, the White House does not seem bothered by the fact that in five to seven years Iran, Saudi Arabia and other Gulf States will be able to boast about military applications of their “civilian” nuclear programs.

In Ukraine, Obama is going with the flow by condemning Russian aggression in Crimea, conveniently ignoring the role of the US in abetting Kosovo’s secession from Serbia. By myopically seconding the indignation of traditionally anti-Russian states, the stance of Obama may unravel the post-Cold War international order and hasten the delivery of more Russian nuclear reactors and advanced missiles to Iran and other rogue states.

To a similar tune, in Latin America US influence has waned as Obama has lacked the resolve to challenge openly anti-US leaders in Venezuela and neighboring countries, which are increasingly turning to China and Russia for loans and investment.

Charisma and rhetorical gifts

Paradoxically, it was not Ahmadinejad, Assad nor Putin who first exposed the current US president’s lack of resolve. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu’s refusal to freeze settlement construction in the wake of Obama’s landmark Cairo Speech was followed by months of bickering and petty haggling that made the US president cut the figure of an American tourist in a Jerusalemite bazaar. Although many Israelis are proud of Netanyahu’s mettle, with hindsight it is evident that Netanyahu’s victories were pyrrhic at best and ominous at worst.

Perhaps we are being too harsh on Obama. After all, he inherited a country in the midst of a financial cataclysm, which was being bled by reckless wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and which carries the burden of a ballooning national debt. Obama is certainly not guilty if America’s immediate post-Cold War international supremacy is no longer tenable in the 21st century. Nevertheless, Obama is to blame for pursuing an ambiguous foreign policy driven by a Wilsonian zeal for spreading human rights, yet derailed by the Gandhian delusion that the right rhetoric can dissolve the thorniest disputes.

Indeed, it might not be a misjudgment to state that Obama is the right man in the wrong position. As the leader of an international church, human-rights organization or consumer-rights movement, his charisma and rhetorical gifts would have won over the hearts of hundreds of millions. But as president of the United States of America, the weakness of his actions as measured against the power of his words has sown cynicism in the international arena and weakened the Western World.

Believers should not Fear Physical death by an Isaiah 29:6 Phenomena

Isaiah 29:6 –Thou shalt be visited of the Lord of hosts with thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with storm and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire.

Luke 21:11 – And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.
Believers should not Fear physical death by an Isaiah 29:6 Phenomena

I Corinthians 15:50-58 – Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. [51] Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, [52] In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. [53] For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. [54] So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. [55] O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? [56] The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. [57] But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. [58] Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

Believers Should NOT Fear Physical Death By An Isaiah Phenomena,
For if they are killed by them it Amounts to an early heaven soul Trip
To Await Judgment By Christ For Degrees Of HIS Inheritance Rewards
While the Wrath of God is poured upon the Lost during 7 Vials of Wrath

Revelation 10:7 – But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.

Revelation11:15,18 – And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever. [18] And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that FEAR thy name, small and great; and shouldest DESTROY THEM WHICH DESTROY THE EARTH..

I am a believer who FEARS CHRIST’S JUDGMENT and acts accordingly. I don’t FEAR death or HELL, but I am acutely aware I will be judged for my service to God after I was saved. I do NOT FEAR the Wrath of God because I will NOT be on earth when it is poured on earth

I Thessalonians 5:9 – For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,

After which Christ Will Return to Earth with the Saved at His 2nd Advent
CHRIST Ends the Battle of Armageddon As He Begins His Millennial Reign

Luke 21:25-28 – 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.

Believers Should Fear Jesus’ Judgment for Not Serving Him in This Life

Galatians 6:7 – Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

Revelation 22:12-14 – And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. [13] I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. [14] Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

Unbelievers have no Fear of God and will end up as ashes on this Planet
While Their Souls wait 1000 Years in Hell for judgment to Lake of Fire!

Revelation 20:13-15 – And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. [14] And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. [15] And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

Malachi 4:1-3 – For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall BURN THEM UP, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. [2] But unto YOU THAT FEAR MY NAME shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. [3] And ye shall tread down the wicked; for THEY SHALL BE ASHES UNDER THE SOULS OF YOUR FEET in the day that I shall do this, saith the Lord of hosts.

Begin Excerpts from Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs/Daily Alert

Excerpt 1 – Mosiac

How Vladimir Putin Sees the Middle East

Michael Doran

Mosiac

March 27, 2014

When Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov stepped forward last September with an offer to strip Syria’s Bashar al-Assad of his chemical weapons, President Obama saw the move as a breakthrough. Secretary of State John Kerry and Lavrov also conspired to launch Geneva II, a peace conference designed to find a diplomatic solution to the Syrian civil war. In the dawning new era, Syria was seen by the White House as a prototype: a model for stabilizing the Middle East. If successful, it could be applied to other problems in the region, including the Iranian nuclear program.

Just six months later, the new model is collapsing. In fact, it never had a chance. In Putin’s view, all accommodations with the U.S. are tactical maneuvers in a struggle for the upper hand. The Kremlin sees itself as the great-power patron not just of the Assad regime but also of Iran and Hizbullah – the entire Resistance Alliance.

In the end, Putin will never sell out Tehran and Damascus in order to win compliments in Washington; if forced to choose, he will always side with the former against the latter, and will certainly leave them in no doubt that Russia is their most dependable friend in the UN Security Council. It is this fact that makes Russia a revisionist power in the Middle East and the permanent adversary of the U.S.

The writer, a senior fellow of the Saban Center for Middle East Policy at the Brookings Institution, is a former deputy assistant secretary of defense and a former senior director of the U.S. National Security Council. (Mosaic)

Excerpt 2 – Institute for National Security Studies – Tel Aviv

Verification in Iran: No Substitute for Prevention

Ephraim Asculai and Emily B. Landau

Institute for National Security Studies-Tel Aviv)

U.S. negotiator Wendy Sherman has said the key element in ensuring that the Iranian nuclear program is and remains completely peaceful is “verification.” The U.S. insists it will be able to detect and deal in a timely manner with an Iranian breakout to nuclear weapons and that it will be in total control of any ominous development in the Iranian nuclear project.

Placing so much weight on successful verification is a dangerous proposition. The true key to a successful deal with Iran is not verification; it is, rather, clear indication that Iran has opted to abandon its military nuclear ambitions.

Moreover, verification is not guaranteed to stop Iran in time. The history of intelligence in general, and of verification in particular, is replete with instances of failure.

For decades, Iran has been working on a military nuclear program while cheating on its NPT commitment. Clarifying what is known as the Possible Military Dimensions (PMD) of Iran’s nuclear program must be an integral part of any comprehensive deal.

Iran did not declare concealed facilities until it was forced to admit their existence, and Iran has been consistent in not revealing any details of its military-related nuclear project, even after evidence to this effect was disclosed by the IAEA in a report in 2011. There can be no doubt that this kind of behavior will continue even if a permanent agreement is signed.

Please scan back and take a look at our map of the Black Sea and its environs, which we put up on March 10, 2014.

Under the map I wrote the Following:

The Sea of Azov, east and northeast of the Crimean Peninsula, is the shallowest sea on the earth. Please note the narrow water entrance between Kerch on the Crimean side and what looks like a turtle head about ready to snap up Kerch across the narrow water channel.

Now note the narrow water entrance of the Black Sea seen at Istanbul between Turkey and the European Mainland.

The Cold War Soviet Union conducted well-coordinated land, sea, and air operations with rival friendly Soviet divisions on opposite sides of a water channel between Kerch and the turtle head. They did this to be able to quickly conquer the Istanbul channel if war broke out. Turkey was a trustworthy ally of NATO during the Cold War.

By the time the Islamic Antichrist attacks Israel at some point in time after Obama leaves office, many of the former Soviet Union satellites will have united with Russia. Some three years after Gog, the chief prince of Meshech & Tubal, drives Israel into the Negev Wilderness, he will ask the ruler of the Land of Magog and all the nations of the Old World to come down and eliminate Jews from the face of the earth. At the final battle of Armageddon all the enemies of the Apple of God’s will experience the wrath of God as he returns at his 2nd Advent.

Russia tightens hold on Kyrgyzstan

RYSKELDI SATKE, Contributing writer

BISHKEK — As the U.S. prepares to close its sole military base in Central Asia in July, Russia is making sure the Americans won’t be coming back.

Russian state-owned oil company Rosneft inked a preliminary deal Feb. 19 with the Kyrgyz government to invest up to $1 billion for a stake of at least 51% in Manas International Airport, which is both Kyrgyzstan’s main international gateway and home to the U.S. base used to support NATO operations in Afghanistan. The investment, Rosneft said, is “aimed at the creation of a large-scale international logistics hub,” although the company is not experienced in that area.

“Rosneft’s bid for Manas marks the culmination of Russia’s recent methodical acquisition of Kyrgyzstan’s key strategic assets,” said Alexander Cooley, a political scientist specializing in Central Asia at Barnard College in New York. “Over the last two years, Moscow has sought to terminate Bishkek’s security cooperation with the U.S. and become the Central Asian state’s dominant and exclusive strategic partner. It is now clear that Moscow seeks to turn Kyrgyzstan into a client state.”

Russian state-owned energy companies have been leading the way. Alongside the Manas deal, Rosneft on Feb. 19 also signed a framework agreement to buy 100% of Bishkek Oil, which has a wholesale and retail gasoline business in the capital, and a 50% stake in the sole aviation fuel provider at Osh International Airport, Kyrgyzstan’s second-largest airline hub.

“We are interested in the all-round promotion of the Rosneft brand in the high-potential Kyrgyz market,” said Igor Sechin, chairman of Rosneft and a close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin. “I believe that this acquisition [of Bishkek Oil] will allow all Kyrgyz motorists to appreciate the high quality of our fuel.”

The same month, Gazprom moved closer to completing its acquisition of 100% of Kyrgyzgaz, operator of the country’s natural gas network. The Russian gas giant is paying $1 for Kyrgyzgaz but will assume $40 million in debt and has pledged to invest 20 billion rubles ($551 million) to modernize its gas pipelines over the next five years. Gazprom has been involved in exploration in Kyrgyzstan since 2003 and also is the dominant provider of aviation fuel. It has a 70% share of the retail gasoline market.

RusHydro, another partly state-owned Russian energy company, last year began construction on the first of a series of hydroelectric dams in Kyrgyzstan that it is also to manage. It is investing at least $205 million in the first four dams.

“Moscow’s assertiveness and how it conceives its relationship with its partners in the former Soviet space pose a serious challenge for Bishkek and the sovereignty of Kyrgyzstan,” said Nicolas de Pedro, a Central Asia specialist at the Barcelona Centre for International Affairs. “The presence of Kyrgyz migrants in Russia gives the Kremlin a quite effective tool to exert a critical influence over Bishkek at any time.

“If Russia takes control of the few strategic assets that Bishkek has at its disposal, the Kyrgyzstan authorities will see their already narrow capacity of maneuver severely diminished,” he said.
