Today I received a question from Vicki.  I wanted to answer this question here at my site because I am sure others may be thinking the same thing.

–

I quote, “Question for you. As Christians the Bible tells us in the days of the Antichrist we will not be able to buy or sell because of the mark. Can you explain should we have gold & how gold would be good to have at that time. I'm not sure. How could we use it?

Thank you.

Vicki,”

———————————-

Depending on your position in the last days gold and silver may help people for a short period of time. Stay with me on this and I will explain. Keep in mind the Antichrist is going to stop everyone from buying or selling anything unless they take that mark. Of course this period begins three and a half years into the seven year tribulation.  Anyone who may have wealth whether it be gold, silver, or a new currency will be all right if they take the mark of the beast. However, there is one major problem with this, and I mean major.  If they take the Antichrist’s mark in order to be able to buy and sell these people will have sealed your fate to (HELL) for all time.  So, in the long run the ownership of this gold and silver or any type of wealth will end up a curse to them, because they end up in hell for choosing wealth over Jesus Christ. 

–

You said, "Can you explain should we have gold & how gold would be good to have at that time." The part of your quote that is alarming is "that time", meaning you are actually in the seven year tribulation, which would mean you missed the rapture of the Church.  This is the worse position to you can ever find yourself in! 

–

There are going to be three groups of people I want to center on that will be in the tribulation. The first group will be the people who refuse the mark of the beast, and will be excluded from the Antichrist economic system.  These are the people who became Christians after the Church has left, and now are going to have to die as martyrs for Christ by not taking the Antichrists mark.  It is simple, refuse the mark and the beast seeks you out to kill you, because it will mean you have refused to worship him as God.   The form of death is found in Revelation 20:4, which is by beheading. So if you miss the rapture and you have gold and silver it may only help you up until that three and a half year mark. 

–

The second group of people will be those who don't listen to the warnings of God and they choose to take the mark of the beast, or Antichrist.  These are the people who may think that their possessions will keep them safe. These are the people where I cited above that they would have a major problem with this, and I mean major.  They take the mark, they think that they are safe because they took the mark and are not excluded from the Antichrist’s economy.  Here is the problem.  If this people are very lucky they may live till the end of the tribulation, which will mean they only have three and a half years left on Earth before Jesus comes to make war against them.   All these people will be killed and they will go before Christ at the judgment seat and be cast into the lake of fire where they will burn and suffer for eternity.  There is no hope for these people at all once that mark is put in their hand or forehead.  This is the group you do not ever want to find yourself in!

The third group of people are those who are left behind after the rapture.  They go into the tribulation period.  The are the ones who do not take the mark and hide out and are some of the very lucky ones to make it through the entire tribulation period.  Of course these people will have to endure all of God’s wrath that is poured out on Earth, so it will appear to them as hell on Earth!  At the end of the tribulation these people will be able to go into the 1000 year reign of Christ here on Earth.  They will be ruled with a rod of iron by Christ for the 1000 years.  These people will remain in their physical bodies unlike the Church who comes back with Christ, they will have bodies like Christ, and be able to do things unheard of at the present time.  The Church who comes back will be ruling with Jesus as kings and priests.  At the end of the 1000 years Jesus is going to let Satan out of the chains for a short season.  Satan will do what he also does, he will tell the same old lies about Jesus and try to convince the people to follow him instead of King Jesus.  Those people who made it through the entire tribulation and live in the 1000 year reign of Christ will be prone to Satan’s lies and many will turn on Christ and take sides with Satan.  At the end of this short time frame Jesus takes Satan and every person who took sides with Satan, and He casts them all in the lake of fire where they will burn for all time.  This is known as the second death and I will explain below.

–

Revelation 20:14 reads: "And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death." Death itself means separation. The first death, physical death, is separation of the spirit and soul from the body. The second death is eternal separation from God for ever and ever.

Death is the result of sin. "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned" (Romans 5:12). When Adam sinned by disobeying God, death entered into the world (Genesis 2:17). We read in Romans 6:23 that "the wages of sin is death." The first death is the wages of sin in this world while the second death will be the full and final wages for eternity. Death in the Scriptures is never, as some like to think, the cessation of existence so that they might escape the consequence of their sins.

–

The First Death

Let's notice a few facts about the first death. Every person has a body, a soul, and a spirit. "And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ" (1 Thessalonians 5:23). The human spirit is that God-conscious part of a person that distinguishes him from the animals. It includes both knowledge and judgment (Mark 8:12; 1 Corinthians 2:11). The soul is that part of a person that is the home of the affections–right or wrong–of love, hate, lusts and even of the appetites of the body (Job 23:13; 1 Peter 2:11). The body is the earthly house in which the spirit and soul dwell. At death a person's immortal (never-dying) spirit and soul leave the mortal (subject to death) body. This is the first death, or physical death.

–

A believer's spirit and soul go immediately into a place of blessing at the time of death. This is evident in the well-known account of the thief on the cross. This repentant thief owned that he was getting what he deserved, and confessed Jesus as Lord, believing God would raise Him from the dead: "Lord, remember me when Thou comest into Thy kingdom." The wonderful answer from the Lord Jesus was, "Verily I say unto thee, today shalt thou be with Me in paradise" (Luke 23:39-43). This blessed truth of the believer being with the Lord Jesus immediately after death is also repeated in 2 Corinthians 5:6-8 and Philippians 1:23.

It is especially comforting to the Christian to see that the Lord Jesus did not refer to the death of the believer as death. The Bible speaks of it as the body falling asleep (see John 11:11-14 and 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18). Death is the penalty of sin. The believer in the Lord Jesus does not come under the penalty of sin because the Lord Jesus took that penalty when He died on Calvary's cross.

An unbeliever's spirit and soul go immediately into a place of torment at the time of death. The Lord Jesus tells us of this awful torment in His account of the rich man and Lazarus (read Luke 16:19-31). "And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame" (verses 23,24). The rich man was in torments, not because he was rich, but because he had not believed God's Word. People may disregard this account, but it came from the lips of the One who suffered sin's agony and torment on Calvary's cross so that no one ever would need to experience this awful judgment.

–

The Second Death

The believer will never experience the second death. He is waiting for the coming of the Lord Jesus to take him home to heaven. When this event (commonly referred to as the rapture) occurs, the spirits and souls of believers will be united with glorified bodies. "For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto His glorious body, according to the working whereby He is able even to subdue all things unto Himself" (Philippians 3:20,21). "Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when He shall appear, we shall be like Him; for we shall see Him as He is" (1 John 3:2). Every believer will then experience fulness of joy and pleasures for evermore (Psalm 16:11).

–

For an unbeliever, the second death will take place after the one thousand years of peace that Christ will yet bring to this world. Following this millennium, the devil will be cast into the lake of fire and the Great White Throne judgment will take place. There all unbelievers will be judged according to their works and cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death–eternal separation from God for ever and ever (read Revelation 20:11-15).

–

There are people who have said, "How can a God of love cast anyone into the lake of fire?" God, however, in His wondrous love and grace, has provided a way of escape, a salvation from this awful judgment. God gave His only Son to die for men's sins so that anyone believing in the Lord Jesus Christ will be saved from that awful judgment. "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life" (John 3:16).

–

God made the lake of fire, known as hell, for the devil and his angels–not for mankind (Matthew 25:41). But when men refuse to accept the deliverance provided in the Lord Jesus, He must cast them into the lake of fire to suffer the penalty for sin.

–

Spiritual Death

Another kind of death is mentioned in the Bible. It is a spiritual death. This spiritual death took place immediately when Adam and Eve disobeyed God. This death is separation of man from God by his sins. We read in Ephesians 2:1 that every unsaved person is "dead in trespasses and sins." This is a spiritual separation from God. When a person turns to God in repentance, believing in Christ as personal Saviour, he receives the gift of eternal life (Romans 6:23). This new life, eternal life, enables a person to have spiritual fellowship with God.

If the reader is one who has never personally come to the Lord Jesus, we pray that you will do so before it is too late

–

Here is the bottom line to all of this.  Jesus died on that cross to keep you for hell. Christ made salvation easy for us and we who receive Jesus are justified by Christ’s work on that cross.  He has given everyone the free gift of salvation as it states in Ephesians 2:8 and I quote, “⁸For ^(A)by grace you have been saved ^(B)through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is ^(C)the gift of God; ^9(A)not as a result of works, so that ^(B)no one may boast.”  No one can earn a free gift, but everyone can take it, and this is what Christ wants you to do. 

–

 ¹⁵"We are ^(A)Jews by nature and not ^(B)sinners from among the Gentiles;  ¹⁶nevertheless knowing that ^(C)a man is not justified by the works of the Law but through faith in Christ Jesus, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we may be justified by ^(D)faith in Christ and not by the works of the Law; since ^(E)by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified” Galatians 2: 15-16.

–

I hope and pray that anyone reading this message who hasn’t taken the free gift from Jesus, do so today.

–

It is my prayer that my work for Jesus has guided you to accept Christ as your Savior. If this is the case, you can begin your new walk by saying this prayer.  Notice I said begins your walk.  Once you make a commitment to Christ pour out your heart to Him and let Him help you grow in His ways.  Seek out a Church where they teach the entire Bible, and join in the Lord’s fellowship.  We are much to close to the Lord’s second coming to be a lukewarm Christian.

Yesterday I had 699 more hits than usual at my site.  I’m not sure if it was because of the earthquake news concerning the 7.0 quake in Haiti or it was something else. I suppose there is a good chance that many of the 699 read my warnings that more huge quakes were on their way and they were encouraged to read more.  What ever the reason I am blessed to be able to share the last day signs in hope that many will turn to Christ before He returns to remove His Church.

Speaking about the Psalms 83 war of which the Palestinians, and Lebanese are going to be part of against Israel, we are witnessing tensions rising between Israel and these specific nations.  I quote, “Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan this week warned Lebanese leaders that Israel may be planning an attack on its northern neighbor, Lebanese sources told the London-based Arabic language daily A-Sharq al-Awsat on Thursday. At a meeting in Ankara with Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri and President Michel Suleiman on Monday, Erdogan declared that Israel was endangering world peace by using exaggerated force against the Palestinians, breaching Lebanon's air space and waters and for not revealing the details of its nuclear program.”  “Turkey warns Lebanon that Israel may be planning attack” “Until recently, Turkey had been a solid ally of Israel's from the Muslim world. However, Ankara has taken a stance against Israel over last year's war in the Gaza Strip, leading to a deterioration of ties.” 

–

There are two things of importance here.  1. The signs show us war is on the horizon between the exact nations listed in the prophecy, and 2. Turkey has broken off as an ally with Israel.  For years Turkey was one of Israel’s closest friends and supporter, but all of a sudden things flipped and Turkey has moved over to side with their Muslim Brothers.  The answer to why this has happen at this time is simple if you know prophecy.  Just read Ezekiel 38:6.  Turkey is one of the nations who we are told will partner up with Russia and try to wipe out Israel.  The timing to the break up of the Israeli Turkish friendship is perfect.  All the nations are lining up to fulfill both the Psalms war and the Ezekiel war.

Below you will find a video entitled, “Israeli assaults bring Gazan factions together – 14 Jan 2009”.  This video shows you how Israel’s enemies are trying for the next war against them.  What you will see is a prelude to the fulfilling of Psalms 83.  I feel sorry for any of you who doesn’t believe these two unfilled wars are coming.  Why?  Because it tells me you are probably not ready right now if Jesus returned for His Church.  Let me make this clear.  It isn’t a matter of being saved if you don’t believe this prophecy.  The only way someone can be saved is by taking Jesus as his or her savior.  Someone who doesn’t believe God’s warnings in prophecy most likey doesn’t believe Jesus is their savior.  The bottom line is this.  The events taking shape in the Middle East right now informs the people on the watch that we are very close to seeing the return of our Lord and only savior Jesus Christ.

Prophecy Sign: If you do not understand Daniel’s prophecies from Daniel chapters 2 and 7 you won’t understand why news about the U.S. unemployed is important.  In a nut shell, Daniel gives us a breakdown of world powers from the time he was alive all the way to the second coming of Jesus Christ.  America is never mentioned anywhere in Daniel’s writings.  However, we are told that the old Roman Empire was going to return again prior to the Lord’s second coming.  This revived Roman Empire is already here in the form of the European Union.  The EU is made up of 27 nations and when you compare the old Roman Empire to the EU you will discover they are almost an exact copy of the first Roman Empire.  In chapter two of my book I even give you quotes from Europe in which they call themselves the new Roman Empire. 

–

The reason why I am telling you this is, because you need to understand the last days power shift is under way.  This is the reason why America is falling away as the leading superpower and the European Union is gaining strength. You would think that if America were to play a major role in the last days she would have gotten at least one sentence in Daniel’s Book?  But no!  This lack of information just shows us that something must have happen to America in the last days.

–

We who are living in these last days can now see why Daniel didn’t write anything about the USA.  We are watching the American society collapse, first year by year, and as of late almost month by month.  America’s last days fall is coming and the U.S. economy is one of the main reasons why she is going down.  In 1977 Jesus laid it on my heart to begin warning people America is going to collapse.  I was encouraged to watch the economy, because I know in the future the U.S. dollar would die.  Since 2008 America’s decline has accelerated and soon the U.S. will go bankrupt.  When this happens the last days world power, the revived Roman Empire will rise to take control.  Out of this empire will rise the Antichrist. 

–

Month after month I have warned you that hundreds of thousands of Americans are going to lose their jobs.  They have been and still are.  Month after month I point you to the food stamp lines, which have in the past been signs of a depression coming.  Right now 37 million Americans are in these food stamp lines and the numbers are growing.  Since 2001 the U.S. dollar has taken second seat to the European euro.  All these are signs the power shift of the last days is almost complete.  Since 2008 I told you don’t expect the U.S. Government to tell you the truth as to how many are jobless.  I understand their reasons for trying to hold back the truth, however you need to know what is happening so you can better prepare for what is really coming soon.

–

The New York Post has a report out with the headline, “How nation's true jobless rate is closer to 22%” This new report from the Post gives 5 reasons why the government figures are wrong.

–

Fact 1: The next employment report will be worse. When the Labor Department puts out the January employment figures on Feb. 4, they will include an assumption that a lot of companies went out of business. This is something called the birth/death model that is used by the department. Last year it caused 356,000 jobs to be subtracted from the January job count.

So, the next employment figure should be shockingly bad.

–

Fact 2: The birth/death model will then turn optimistic in the spring, causing jobs that really don't exist to be added to the Labor Department's count. It won't make the people who are unemployed feel any better. But it could give Wall Street another excuse to rally and, really, isn't that what it is all about?

–

Fact 3: Nobody in the media will pick up on this, but the Labor De partment will also do something called a benchmark revision on Feb. 4 that will subtract around 840,000 jobs that the government thought existed, but really don't. This will mostly make up for the mistakes created by the birth/death model.

–

Fact 4: That 840,000 job adjustment will only correct errors up to March 2009. Mistakes for the April 2009 to March 2110 period will be corrected next year. Fact 5: You keep reading that the unemployment rate stayed at 10 percent. But the press has been playing up the 17.3 percent rate that includes those "underemployed," meaning they can't find a full-time job but want one.

–

In my post of January 12, 2010 I cited a report that explained what caused the first depression.  This report shows you what is taking place now and they are the same factors.  Take a close look at the world, and if your are honest with yourself, you will say there is really something very wrong.  You would be correct.  That something that you may not understand is Christ warning you that this generation has reached the last days.  Everything from strange weather, wars, rumors of new wars every week, disease, drugs, storms, massive earthquakes, increase in knowledge, homosexuality on the increase, and people turning away from Christ to engage in witchcraft or even Satan worship are only some of the signs of the last days. I encourage you to listen to your heart and turn to Christ now for your salvation.  Soon Jesus is going to come for His Church and remove them to safety.  If you aren’t one of the Lord’s children you will miss being taken.  God help anyone who is left behind.

Information just in from the U.S. Department of Labor stated, “In the week ending Jan. 9, the advance figure for seasonally adjusted initial claims was 444,000, an increase of 11,000 from the previous week's revised figure of 433,000. The 4-week moving average was 440,750, a decrease of 9,000 from the previous week's revised average of 449,750.” “The advance unadjusted insured unemployment rate was 4.6 percent during the week ending Jan. 2, an increase of 0.4 percentage point from the prior week. The advance unadjusted number for persons claiming UI benefits in state programs totaled 5,988,940, an increase of 503,924 from the preceding week.”  Each person who enters these figures is a person who is taken out of the tax base.  America can’t continue on the way it is now, what do you think is going to happen when more of the tax base is taken out?  It is called bankrupt.  Keep your eyes on Christ because major changes are coming.

Christ told us when the Antichrist comes he is going to take control of the world economy.  We see this in Revelation 13:16-17 where he stops anyone from buying or selling anything unless they have the mark of his name in their right hand or foreheads.  The Antichrist is going to keep a close watch on everyone and we are seeing new ways governments can now keep tabs on their citizens. “As if there weren't enough cameras trained on Britain's population, police in Merseyside County are field-testing a flying drone equipped with closed-circuit TV cameras. The 3-ft.-wide, German-built MD4-200 chopper has four whisper-quiet rotors and can fly autonomously at up to 15 mph using GPS way points. It can also be piloted from nearly 550 yards away with a handheld controller.

Prophecy Sign

: Daniel 12:4 is the sign this last generation would increase in knowledge, and people would be traveling back and forth.  We are the generation who has fulfilled this prophecy.  You can count on much of the technology being developed as a result of our increase in knowledge will no doubt be used by the Antichrist to monitor the people.  Here is another example of how this intelligence work can be done.

As you can see from today's earthquake news there were more quakes.  There was a major 6.0 which hit the Mariana Islands.  I don't want to scare anyone, but get ready to see a lot more of these major quakes in the near future, they are part of the birth pains.

–

Prophecy Sign: In Mark 13:8 Christ warns us to look for the following signs, they are 1. earthquakes, 2. famines, and 3. troubles. In this same verse Jesus warned us these signs would be as birth pains, meaning these signs would increase in the end times. Matthew 24: 7 is also the sign of disease. Haiti is living Christ’s warning signs right now.  “Tens of thousands of people are facing a second catastrophe tonight as they struggled for survival on the devastated island of Haiti. With no food, no water and no shelter, aid agencies were in a desperate race against time to save the victims of the earthquake. Witnesses described gutters running with blood and children sleeping among heaps of dead bodies after becoming separated from their parents.”  When you read the news you will read thousands of dead bodies are everywhere and it has caused concern because of the fear of disease spreading. Remember the sign of troubles in verse 8?  "It's chaos," U.N. humanitarian spokeswoman Elisabeth Byrs told The Associated Press. "It's a logistical nightmare.  "Severe damage to at least eight Port-au-Prince hospitals made it nearly impossible to treat the thousands of injured or prevent outbreaks of disease, said Paul Garwood, spokesman for the World Health Organization.  Even as the United Nations stepped up its massive aid operation, the world body was trying to determine how many of its own staff were killed in the magnitude-7 quake that struck Tuesday.”  You talk about trouble, 3 million people are seeking help and most are homeless as a result of this massive earthquake.  The only thing that could make matters even worse is if Haiti gets hit with more storms.  Pray that this doesn’t happen soon because according to the news out of “Miami from “(Reuters) – The 2010 Atlantic hurricane season will be "above-average" in activity and produce 11 to 16 tropical storms, including six to eight hurricanes, a leading team of U.S.-based researchers said on Wednesday.”  By the way, Christ warned us to watch for the roaring seas and waves in Luke 21:25.  If you click to the link below in green you will see a video on Haiti’s earthquake.  These pictures look like scenes that will be on the news all over the world during the seven year tribulation.

Matthew 24 7 and Luke 21:11 warn us to watch for many earthquakes and “great earthquakes in the last days.  Here is an up-date on the 7.0 quake that hit Haiti yesterday.  “PARIS, Jan 13 (Reuters) – French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner said on Wednesday he feared everyone inside the United Nations headquarters in Haiti were killed when the building was destroyed by a powerful earthquake.”  “The earthquake killed possibly thousands of people, as aftershocks rattled through the night and into Wednesday. (Reporting by Sophie Hardach; Editing by Louise Ireland)”  As you can see below we have had more quakes today."  If Christ warned us the last days signs would take place as a woman with birth pains, we should expect that quakes of this size and bigger are on the way.  My heart goes out to all the famalies in this crisis.

http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/LDE60C1GR.htm

When you listen to the news you will learn that Haiti was blasted by four major hurricanes one after the other recently and they still haven’t recovered from the destruction.  Could there be a reason why Haiti has been going through so many of these crisis?  Pat Robertson gives information that may point to why Haiti is in so much trouble.  
 

To be fair I want to now give you the opposing views on what Pat Robertson stated about Haiti. You will find this information in a report entitled, “God, Satan, and the Birth of Haiti” by Jean R. Gelin, Ph.D. There are 3 links below for you to click to.

–

But first let me give you facts not brought out by the Robertson. Haiti is a largely Christian country, with Roman Catholicism professed by 80% of Haitians. Protestants make up about 16% of the population.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haiti

–

Vodou according to information taken from “Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia” Haitian Vodou, a New World Afro-diasporic faith unique to the country, is practiced by roughly half the population.^[65] Religious practice often spans Haiti and its diaspora as those who have migrated interact through religion with family in Haiti.^[66]

^–

About 95% of the population claim Christian beliefs, and the most professed denomination by far is Roman Catholicism. Similar to the rest of Latin America, Haiti was colonized by Roman Catholic European powers. Following in this legacy, Catholicism is enshrined in the Haitian constitution as the official state religion, and between 80 and 85% of Haitians are Catholics. Pope John Paul II visited Haiti in 1983. In a speech in the capital of Port-au-Prince, he criticized the government of Jean-Claude Duvalier; it is believed that the impact of this speech on the Catholic bureaucracy in Haiti contributed to his removal in 1986.

According to the Catholic Church in Haiti, the ten dioceses of the two ecclesiastical provinces of Haiti count up to 251 parishes and about 1500 Christian rural communities. The local clergy has 400 diocesan priests and 300 seminarians. There are also 1300 religious missionary priests belonging to more than 70 religious families. Vocations to the priesthood are plenty^[1].  Other Christian denominations.  The Seventh-day Adventist Church, Pentecostalism, and the Jehovah's Witnesses movement also have significant followings. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints claims more than 14,000 members in Haiti.^[2] 10-15% of Haiti's professed Christians are evangelical protestants.

Vodou

Main article: Haitian Vodou

The New World Afro-diasporic religion of Vodou is also practiced. Vodou encompasses several different traditions, and consists of a mix encompassing African, European and indigenous Taìno religious elements. In this way, it is very similar to other Latin American syncretist movements, such as the Cuban Santería. It is more widespread in rural parts of the country, partly due to negative stigmas attached to its practice.  The exact number of Vodou practitioners is unknown. However, a significant amount of the population practice it, often alongside their Christian faith. This mix of religious practices is controversial; some Christians, as well as the Catholic Church, shun Vodou as idolatry and forbid its practice. Facts on Haitian Vodou:

Prophecy Sign: Matthew 24:7 is the sign of many earthquakes.  Luke 21:11 tells us we will also witness “great earthquakes”, meaning big ones.  On this mornings post there were only 3 earthquakes, but by this afternoon there were a lot more and there was a huge quake which hit a 7.0.

Prophecy Sign: In yesterday’s post I wrote about the call for peace and safety as written in 1 Thessalonians 5:3. I quote, “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.”  Some months ago I told you that Israel’s Prime Minister would never give up East Jerusalem to the Palestinians.  The issue of ownership of this city is a stumbling block to the Middle East peace talks and I have stated many times, I believe the ownership of this city will be what causes the next war between Israel and its bordering nations.  I also believe this is when the second part of the Thess. 5:3 will be fulfilled, this is the part of the sudden destruction.  The time is almost at hand where the Arabs will not wait any longer for the peace process to give them back East Jerusalem.  Every time the Arabs hear Netanyahu promise never to give up Jerusalem, the war clock moves closer to the next conflict.  “Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared on Tuesday that Israel would never cede control of united Jerusalem nor retreat to the 1967 borders, according to a bureau statement. The statement came after Egypt's foreign minister said in Cairo last week that Netanyahu was ready to discuss making "Arab Jerusalem" the capital of a Palestinian state.

–

Now let me connect the dots for you.  Psalms 83 tells us the bordering nations around Israel are going to attack Israel in the last days.  This war hasn’t taken place yet.  Now Syria is one of the nations we are told would be destroyed.  Isaiah 17: 1 and Jeremiah 49: 24-27 shows us this information.  Do you remember what Syria’s President stated six months ago?  Let me refresh your memory.  I quote, “Syrian officials threatened on Saturday to take back the Golan Heights by force if a peace agreement involving the return of the strategic plateau is not reached with Israel, Army Radio reported. A group calling itself the Syrian Committee for the Freedom of the Golan said it would take steps to regain control of the territory, adding that Israel has not shown willingness to achieve peace or to return what they called "Syrian land."  One leader says he will never give up East Jerusalem nor it’s 1967 borders and the other ones warms we will take it by force.  Knowing what God showed us in Psalms 83 what do you think is going to happen?  Syria will soon engage in a new war against Israel over the failed peace talks.  They won’t attack alone.  The nations listed in Psalms 83 will join in on this attack and all of them will be pushed back by Israel.  You can count on this prophecy being fulfilled shortly.

If you know what Bible prophecy says, all you have to do is watch the nations the prophecies speaks to us about.  Lebanon is also a nation listed in Psalms 83 to attack Israel with Syria.  Turkey and Iran are mentioned in Ezekiel chapter 38 as attacking Israel with Russia and her allies.  War is coming and it will fulfill these prophecies.  We see these exact nations lining up together right now.  I quote, “(IsraelNN.com) Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri is visiting Turkey to ratify agreements that would scrap visa requirements and strengthen defense cooperation as Ankara tightens its friendship with Israel’s three declared enemies to the north. Turkey and Lebanon also are signing military agreements for training, weapons and exchanging expertise. Turkey's continuing warming of relations with Iran, Syriaand Lebanon comes as leading Israeli media have criticized Israeli Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon for disparaging the Turkish ambassador to Israel. Ayalon voiced anger at the envoy on Monday over a Turkish soap opera that spread a blood libel against Israel by depicting Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet) agents as kidnappers of babies.” Iran and Turkey will fight against Israel in the Ezekiel war, which will take place after the Psalms 83 war, while Lebanon and Syria will get wiped out in the first war.  Don’t believe?  Just watch the news!  God will soon open up many eyes that are currently closed to the truth.

Prophecy Sign: In yesterday’s post I showed you a few example of how our generation has fulfilled the Daniel 12:4 prophecy where Daniel was told our generation would be known for two things. First is an increase in knowledge and 2. people would be traveling back and forth.  There was a great example of how this prophecy is being fulfilled in the news today.  The headline to the Wall Street Journal report is, Israeli Robots Remake Battlefield”  I quote, “TEL AVIV, Israel – Israel is developing an army of robotic fighting machines that offers a window onto the potential future of warfare.  Sixty years of near-constant war, a low tolerance for enduring casualties in conflict, and its high-tech industry have long made Israel one of the world's leading innovators of military robotics.  "We're trying to get to unmanned vehicles everywhere on the battlefield for each platoon in the field," says Lt. Col. Oren Berebbi, head of the Israel Defense Forces' technology branch. "We can do more and more missions without putting a soldier at risk."  This is another case showing us how fast we have advanced since the birth of computers.  In this case computers are used to help pilot an unarmed military vehicles.  No other generation should have ever fulfilled this prophecy. There is a video at the link below where you can see this vehicle in action.

Prophecy Sign: A warning by Jesus Christ found in Matthew 24:37-39  “But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.  For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be”. In yesterday’s post I gave you examples of how our generation has turned to homosexuality exactly as Christ shows us when He warns that this generation will become like Noah’s generation.  In II Timothy 4:3,4 we are warned about people not following sound doctrine in the last days.  I quote, “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths.”

The report I am going to show you speaks to us about both these prophecies.  We see homosexuality is on the move and it is now affecting the Churches.  I quote, “ROANOKE, VA – Members of a church in Roanoke, Virginia, have voted to leave the country's largest Lutheran denomination over its policy to allow homosexual clergy. St. John Lutheran assistant pastor Elijah Mwitanti says church members voted 358-120 Sunday to split from the national Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.”  I am sure the 358 people who voted to follow sound doctrine will be viewed by many as haters of the gay population.  What about the 120?  These people are those of which Timothy warned us about.  They call themselves followers of Word, but they only have the appearance of being followers, and they are now following what Timothy says are,  “teachers in accordance to their own desires, and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths.”  Let me remind all of you, Satan is out to destroy the Lord’s true Church.  What is the true Church?  It is not a building but those of us who refuse to cave in to false teachings, and stand on sound doctrine in Christ Jesus.   The true Church are people of Christ who are really abiding in Him and walking according to what Christ has shown us in the Word.  Mark my words, you are going to hear a lot of news this year about the homosexual movement advancing.

Prophecy Sign: Last days power shift as seen in Daniel chapters 2 and 7.  It’s no wonder why America is falling apart.  She has turned from Christ and is engaging in things that the Lord opposes.  Actions such as this comes with a price.  I have been showing you how America is declining.  Yesterday’s post is filled which proof showing how the USA is declining, while the revived Roman Empire is getting bigger and stronger.  A new report gives the latest news how just how bad it is looking for America.  I quote, “The labour force contracted by 661,000. This did not show up in the headline jobless rate because so many Americans dropped out of the system. The broad U6 category of unemployment rose to 17.3pc. That is the one that matters. Wall Street rallied. Bulls hope that weak jobs data will postpone monetary tightening: a silver lining in every catastrophe, or perhaps a further exhibit of market infantilism.”

In this mornings post I wrote to you about watching the U.S States.  I warned you that 46 States are just about out of money.  This afternoon I read this report about Arizona.  As you will see there is major trouble brewing there. “Arizona state legislators go back to work Monday in an attempt to battle a nearly $1.5 billion dollar deficit.  "The February school payment we can't make, February payroll there's no money there," said State Treasurer, Dean Martin.  Martin said unless the capitol buildings are sold before the end of the month, there will be no more money meaning, "If they continue to issue checks without having money from the sale of the buildings, I have to bounce them."  That's because Martin said spending has increased double digits during the first two years of the recession, while revenues were dropping at the same rate.”

My heart is really troubled for America.  She was once a blessed nation under God, but since she has been trying to get ride of God the tide of blessings is changing to the curse of God.   Many of you may not agree with me, but I stand on God’s warning found in Genesis 12:3.  America has turned on Israel and this is one of the main reasons for this curse being cast on her.  This curse can not be lifted until this nation fully supports and stands behind the nation of Israel.  Pray for President Obama.  Ask Christ to speak to Obama’s heart about getting rid of the two State peace plan.  If nothing changes, America will have no hope.  There is no nation that can oppose God’s will and keep standing.

It is my prayer that my work for Jesus has guided you to accept Christ as your Savior. If this is the case, you can begin your new walk by saying this prayer.  Notice I said begins your walk.  Once you make a commitment to Christ pour out your heart to Him and let Him help you grow in His ways.  Seek out a Church where they teach the entire Bible, and join in the Lord’s fellowship.  We are much to close to the Lord’s second coming to be a lukewarm Christian.

Prophecy Sign:  Matthew 24:7 speaks to us about several signs.  One of these signs is many earthquakes.  As you can see from the list below we are seeing this sign everyday.  Keep in mind, I am only reporting on the bigger quakes.  As you can see from this weekend California was hit by a major 6.5 quake.

EUREKA, Calif. – Residents of a Northern California county gingerly cleaned up Sunday after the area dodged a catastrophe, escaping a 6.5 magnitude earthquake with little more than bumps, cuts and broke glass.

Prophecy Sign: In Daniel 12:4 God shows Daniel that the last generation would be known for their increase in knowledge.  Our generation has been labeled the generation who has gained more knowledge in the shortest amount of time in the history of this planet.  Most of this knowledge has come about as a result of the birth of computers.  I want to combine two prophecies in this section.  The other prophecy is a warning by Jesus Christ found in Matthew 24:37-39  “But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.  For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be”.  Jesus told us that the last generation would become just like Noah’s generation.  Some of the things Noah’s generation did was they turned away from God’s teachings, they became evil people in everyway, they turned to homosexuality, and the children would be sacrificed to false gods.

On the second point, our generation is coping what Noah’s generation had done when they turned away from God and started to practice homosexuality.  Step by step the same thing is taking place in this present generation.  In my post of Novemeber 20, 2008 I wrote you the following warning. I quote “Do not be surprised when you hear in the near future that the Supreme Court rules in favor to strike down Proposition 8.”  If you read the report below you will see the gay movement has centered its focus on California. Same sex marriage was over turned by the people of California but just as I had warned you in my previous post they would come back in force to try and over turned the same sex laws.  This gay movement knows if they can win over California then the rest of the U.S. states will follow.  As you can see by the list of U.S. states in the above report same sex laws are already changing and the American society is coming exactly as Noah’s generation.”  Was I correct in making the above statement?  As you will learn from the report below the war for same sex marriage in the State of California has come back in full force.

–

I quote, “Same-Sex Marriage Heads to Court | The first federal trial over the issue of same sex marriage begins on Monday in San Francisco. It will address whether the 2008 ballot vote to ban same-sex marriage in the state was unconstitutional. The trial is unusual on several fronts: It will include testimony from two gay couples at the center of the case, video coverage will be available at some point on YouTube and the two lawyers representing the gay couples were courtroom adversaries who argued opposite sides in the battle over the fate of the 2000 presidential election. [The San Francisco Chronicle, The New York Times]” Like I said, if Christ warned this generation would repeat the ways of Noah’s generation you should expect the gay and lesbian movement to grow in power and manage to pass new laws making it legal to marriage someone of the same sex.   Many of you may be asking me, do I think this will happen before the Church is raptured out?  I believe this same sex movement will spread to all the States, and new laws will begin to be enforced to go after anyone who says anything negative against this movement, however, I believe this movement won’t reach its max until after the Lord’s Church is removed.  During the seven year tribulation when the Church is gone this present society will become the exact carbon copy of Noah’s time.

We know during Noah’s generation children were sacrificed and if Jesus said our society would be like Noah’s we should see signs of this and we are.  Here is one example in a report entitled, “Human sacrifices 'on the rise in Uganda’ ” I quote, “witch doctors admit to rituals Witch doctors in Uganda have admitted their part in human sacrifice amid concerns that the practice is spreading in the African country.” “One man said he had clients who had captured children and taken their blood and body parts to his shrine, while another confessed to killing at least 70 people including his own son.  The latter has now given up the ritual and is campaigning to stamp it out, according to BBC News.  The African country's government claimed human sacrifice was on the increase.  According to officials trying to tackle it, the crime is directly linked to rising levels of development and prosperity – and an increasing belief that witchcraft can help people get rich quickly.”  I pray to God that you are taking all these warnings to heart, because whether you believe in Christ or not, He is coming back soon to remove all the people who have turned to Him for salvation.  If you are one of the people who were like those during Noah’s day who refused to believe Noah’s warnings from God, then you should expect the same fate as fell on Noah’s generation.  The only difference will be this world will not be destroyed by a flood.  Instead you will miss the boat of safety in Christ Jesus and be cast into the seven year tribulation where you will be confronted by the Antichrist.  That means you will have to go through what is called God’s wrath.  I am sure the people who tried to get on Noah’s Ark when the flood waters were reaching their nose had wished they had listen to what Noah was warning.  You can miss God’s wrath by taking the love offering Jesus has made for you via His death on the cross.  Christ rose three days later and is coming back shortly, are you ready to go if He came back today?

Will be back to write more for today, taking break.

It is my prayer that my work for Jesus has guided you to accept Christ as your Savior. If this is the case, you can begin your new walk by saying this prayer.  Notice I said begins your walk.  Once you make a commitment to Christ pour out your heart to Him and let Him help you grow in His ways.  Seek out a Church where they teach the entire Bible, and join in the Lord’s fellowship.  We are much to close to the Lord’s second coming to be a lukewarm Christian.

Heavenly Father, have mercy on me, a sinner. I believe in you and that you’re Word is true. I believe and accept Jesus Christ as the Son of the living God, and that he died on the cross so that I may now have forgiveness from my sins and have eternal life in the Name of my Savior Jesus Christ. I know that without you in my heart my life is meaningless and I am without hope and would be cast into hell.  I believe in my heart that you, Lord God, raised Jesus from the dead, and Jesus is alive and waiting to come back for all who have abided in Him.  Please, Jesus, forgive me, for every sin I have ever committed, past, present, and even future.  Please, Lord Jesus, forgive me and come into my heart as my personal Lord and Savior today. I need you to be my Father and my Lord. I give you my life and ask you to take full control from this moment on.  I do repent of all my sins, and I ask you Lord to help me become a good and faithful servant.  I thank you for adding my name into your Book of Life. I know this is the first step in our new relationship, and I ask you now Jesus to teach me the way to live my life for you, and please help and guide me so I will abide in you from this day forward.  I now ask you to direct me to a fellowship where I may begin to grow in you.  In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen.

Daniel 12:4 where it says, “But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.” This generation has gained so much knowledge in such a short time it is sometimes unbelievable how fast this generation is moving.  Watch this video, it will provide you with all the proof you need that what God showed Daniel about our generation has come to pass.

“SAN JOSE, Calif. — In an era when PCs perform like supercomputers, and supercomputers carry out inhuman feats of calculation, some of the brightest minds in Silicon Valley say there are still crucial ways in which a computer can’t match the problem-solving abilities of our own brains.

–

But Wednesday, at a supercomputing conference in Portland, Ore., a team of scientists from IBM’s Almaden Research Lab and several other institutions are planning to announce two developments that could one day lead to a new kind of computer — one that uses specially designed hardware and software to mimic what’s inside our heads.

–

Researchers from IBM and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory say they have performed a computer simulation that matches the scale and complexity of a cat’s brain, and project members from IBM and Stanford have developed an algorithm for mapping the human brain at new levels of detail. Eventually, scientists hope that detailed knowledge will help them build a computer that replicates the more complex working of a human brain.”
