"As the lions roar, so will the Lord of hosts defend
Jerusalem. Defending, He will deliver it. Passing over, He will preserve it
(Isaiah 31:4-5)."
In globalist news Dr. Aurelio Peccei of the Club of Rome
advocated that a plague be introduced that would have the same effect as the
Black Death of Middle Ages. You will recall that a few months ago when Prince
Phillip of Great Britain was ill he said when he dies he wants to come back as
deadly virus in order to reduce world population. Why would the globalists like
Peccei and Prince Phillip seek to harm and kill people with war, poisons,
chemtrails and genetically modified products? The globalist goal is to take
control of the world and enslave the world by means of mass genocide. Hence the
world's ruling elite wants to increase the death rate. Friends these are truly
evil, satanic people and part of the satanic deception enveloping our world.
I have a variety of news from the U.S. No
matter who wins the Presidential election, the globalists and their allies are
going to continue the covert war against Iran.
Iran’s banking system is being squeezed but nothing will stop the
Iranians from getting the bomb. As in previous elections we can see that there
is little difference between Democrats and Republicans. The leaders of both
parties are reading a script written for them from the master satanic Illuminti
plan. Remember God says in Ezekiel 38-39 – that there will be no surpise attack
on Iran, the attack will be on Israel.
In the U.S. Natural News, reported on October 15, 2012 that Texas students who refuse to be micro-chipped are punished by tyrannical Texas schools"
The debt that the U.S. government owes to foreign interests now equals approximately $47K for each household in the U.S. Additionally, the U.S. government’s foreign debt owed to Communist China is about $10K per family.
In Great Britain a survey disclosed that 52% of U.K. adults
believe in aliens while 44% say they believe in God. Friends, this is the great
falling away from the faith that Yeshua spoke of in Matthew 24:10.

| Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa al Thani with the leader of Hamas |
In the Middle East one of the chief
meddlers continues his dirty work. Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani of Qatar,
decided to visit the Gaza Strip this week, becoming the first Arab ruler ever
to visit the Palestinian enclave. He delivered a $245 million dollar check for
the beleaguered population.
Sheikh Al Thani does not throw around cash
blindly he expects something in return, and he has regional ambitions and covets the rich
resources of oil and natural gas in the eastern Med. Two years ago, he made his
mark on Middle East politics in Libya, where he used his special forces and
cash to help overthrow Muammar Qaddafi. The Qatari emir is also playing a
dirty hand in the Syrian war, sponsoring Al Qaeda and Islamist factions
fighting to rid their country of Bashar Assad. Obama and the Emir are said
to be close friends.
After Qaddafi was killed on Oct. 20,
2011 the Emir supported the most radical Islamist factions in Libya. The emir has been a major obstacle to
establishing stable central government in Tripoli. His money provides a fertile
ground for the Muslim Brotherhood, al Qeda and radical Salafis to flourish. The
Emir’s money network with radical Islamists in North Africa is murky. The Al
Qaeda in the Maghreb (AQIM), the Salafis and the Muslim Brotherhood network is
branching out across North Africa. The Emir’s money may have played a role in
the “bushwacking” of US Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans in
Benghazi on Sept. 11.
The Qatari emir’s visit Wednesday to the
Gaza Strip is extremely important because he is now attempting to project his
power into the Gaza Strip and Egyptian Sinai. In the Sinai Salafi groups,
Bedouin militias and al Qaeda factions have attacked the Egyptians, Israel and
the International Peacekeeping force.
Since Qaddafi’s downfall, tons of smuggled Libyan weapons have found their way to Gaza, the Sinai and Syria. Islamist terrorists of every stripe, including al Qaeda, have been partaking freely of the smuggled hardware.
| Abu Walid al-Masri |
Hisham Al-Saidni, aka Abu Walid al-Masri,
head of the Gaza and Sinai Salafist faction was killed by the Israelis on 13
Oct. known as Majlis Shura
Al-Mujahideen, was not based in Sinai where he kept most of his men. He
preferred to work out of Jabaliya north of Gaza City. He counted on Hamas
turning a blind eye to his doings. By killing him in an air strike on Oct.
13, while he was riding a motorcycle in Jabaliya, Israel put its hand in an
Islamist hornets’ nest reaching outside the borders of Gaza-Sinai terror and
touching a nerve as far away as the Al Thani palace in Doha.
Sheik Hamad wants to turn the Hamas Islamist terrorist organization into a
disciplined elite fighting force on the Iranian Al Qods Brigades model, to
serve as Qatar’s operational arm in the Gaza Strip and the strategic Sinai
Peninsula.
This gives Hamas a new lease of life after
the loss of its command bases and assets in Damascus as a result of the Syrian
conflict.

| Iranian cyber-warfare |
Iran’s
secret cyber war-room is located at Hizballah’s security apparatus headquarters
in the Shiite Dahya district of South Beirut. The hackers and cyber experts
recently attacked American and European banks, Saudi oil sites and guided an
Iranian stealth drone helicopter into Israeli airspace on Oct. 6. Wafiq
Safa, an Iranian is head of the security apparatus and also deputy of the
Iranian general, Hossein Mahadavi, who serves as the liaison and coordination
officer with Hizballah in Lebanon.Safa’s son is married to the Hizballah chief
Hassan Nasrallah’s sister.
My intelligence sources said Tehran uses Hezbollah to host its cyber war-room
to disguise the sourceofitscyberoffensives,keepIranclearofblameandbecausetheHizballahfacilityisprotectedfromelectronicpenetration.
Whenever Israeli experts tried manipulating the helicopter’s’s movements, they
found a force overrode them and recovered control. Eventually, the Israeli
commanders shot the helicopter down.
The U.S.
encountered the same difficulty in early October when they tried to locate and
identify the hackers who disabled 10 major US bank websites, attacked Qatar’s
Rasgas and Saudi Arabia’s Aramco’s websites.
The computer virus, Shamoon, replaced data with burning American flags.
Six days after the drone’s penetration of Israel, US Defense Secretary Leon Panetta talked to reporters in New York about “a pre-9/11 moment” for the United States. He did not come right out and name Iran or mention its cyber war headquarters in Beirut. He did, however, warn “the attackers are plotting,” and that recent electronic attacks in US and abroad demonstrate the need for “a more aggressive military role in defense and to retaliate against organized groups or hostile governments.”
| Valerie Jarrett |
It was
leaked to the New York Times that Obama, through Valerie Jarrett, is holding
direct talks on Iran’s nuclear program with its leaders, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei
and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. It was first reported on April 16 that Washington and
Tehran were conducting back-channel talks in Paris and Vienna. It is important
to note that the clandestine talks have not produced a breakthrough in the with
Iran. U.S. emissaries have let it be known that Washington does not object to
Iran’s nuclear enrichment program per se so long as it is not used for building
a nuclear weapon. Folks, this is the two step dance the world played with Saddam Hussein in Iraq.
All this talk will produce nothing but appeasement.
Israel
keeps on backtracking on the nuclear red lines. When Iran moved its enrichment
plant into an immune zone earlier this month, one red line disappeared.
Netanyahu has been forced to retreat.
The
assassination of the anti-Syrian Head of the Lebanon's Internal Security Forces
intelligence branch, Brig. Gen. Wissam al-Hasan on Friday, Oct. 19, by a
huge car bomb blast in East Beirut. In
August, Gen. Al-Hasan uncovered a Syrian plot to destabilize Lebanon by a
bombing campaign and arrested the pro-Syrian politician and ex-information
minister Michel Samaha for complicity in the plot. He also led the
investigation that implicated Damascus in the 2005 bombing atrocity that killed
formerPrimeMinisterRafiqHariri.
This marked the brutal spillover of the Syrian bloodbath into a second Arab
capital.
Remember the Syrians warned “If there is no stability in Syria, there’s no way
there will be stability in Israel.”

| Arrow Missile Defense System |
Sunday, Oct. 21, the US and Israel launch Austere Challenge 12, which they are
calling their biggest joint war game ever, to practice defending Israel against
a missile attack.
But in tune with the general air of denial hanging over Washington and Jerusalem,
the exercise has been reduced in scale to just 1,000 soldiers on each side,
with most of the action conducted through simulated computer games. As every
soldier knows, this is a far cry from real operations on a battlefield.
American and Israeli war planners also realize that even these games are only applicable to defenses against an Iranian ballistic missile attack - not a triple Iranian-Syrian-Hizballah missile assault. This would call for US-Israeli air force intervention. But the air force is not taking part in the war game.

What
is the purpose of the Great Tribulation?
Yeshua says in Matthew 25:13
Therefore keep watch because you do not know the day or the hour (of my
return). I have a friend who does not believe we are close to
rapture and The Great Trib. He quotes Matthew 25:13 as proof that no one knows the
day of the Lord’s return and that the world has always been bad. I tell him
that is true but we can know the season of the Lord’s return. I also tell him that
in all areas things are not getting better on this earth. In other words if we
consider all the evidence, the world economy, satanic deception at all levels,
the one world govt., famines, earthquakes, false religions, false prophets, the
falling away, wars and rumors of wars, the growth of satanic beliefs, the rise
of Islam, change in weather, chemtrails, perversion and sexual degradation,
violence, crime etc. then we are getting near the rapture. Further, the entire
body of Bible prophecy tells us we are heading to the rapture and the Great Trib.
Most
importantly, when we read the Bible it is absolutely essential that we know the
audience and rightly divide the word so that we know who Jesus or God the
Father is talking to. If you don’t the audience God is speaking to you will
misinterpret the scriptures like my friend and other people do.
Those who
shy away from the study of prophecy are fond of quoting Matthew 25:13 as their
justification. But in Matthew 24:4 earlier in the same passage, the Lord
had admonished all who read His words of prophecy to watch out for deception
and in 24:15 to understand. In addition the Apostle Paul wrote in 1 Thes.
5:4 that the events leading up to the
end of the age should not take believers by surprise implying that we should be
familiar with the prophetic events.
Now, the
Bible does not and cannot contradict itself, hence Matt. 24:4 and 24:15 must have been aimed at a different audience than Matt. 25:13. And sure enough, a closer look reveals that both the
implied timing and the intended audience of the two Matthew passages are
different. Matt. 24:4
and 24:15 were intended for everybody
who reads the passage, but in Matt 25:13 the Lord was only speaking to people remaining on Earth at
His Second Coming. We know this because it follows Matt. 24:30 which describes the 2nd Coming. Matt. 24:36-37 confirms the context to be the 2nd Coming, as does Matt. 25:1. Of course in 1 Thes 5:4 Paul was addressing the church, who will not be on Earth
at the 2nd Coming, but in the presence of the Father (1 Thes.
3:13).
What both
the Lord in (Matt.24:15) and Paul in (1 Thes. 5:4) were saying is that while we won’t know the exact timing
of things, we should understand the sequence of events leading up to the Day of
the Lord. And perhaps no event in the sequence is more controversial than the
Rapture of the Church, especially as it relates to the Great Tribulation.
The first thing we should do in
trying to obey the Lord’s commandment to understand End Times prophecy is to
clarify two things, 1) the purpose of the Great Tribulation, 2) the nature of
the Church.
The phrase
Great Tribulation makes reference to a specific event, not a general condition.
While the Lord warned the disciples that they and we would experience
tribulation as a general condition in this world see (John 16:33), He clearly identified the Great Tribulation as having a
specific beginning and ending. It will begin when the abomination that causes
desolation prophesied by Daniel is erected in the Temple (in the middle of the
last 7 years of history) and will end just prior to the Lord’s return, three
and one half years later. See (Daniel 9:24-27 & Matt.
24:29-30).
The Great
Tribulation is Jewish in its focus. In fact, it was referred to as the
Time of Jacob’s Trouble until the Lord coined the phrase Great Tribulation
in Matt 24:21. In doing so, Yeshua said it would be a time of
unparalleled distress, unique in the history of the world and that unless
Yeshua came back no one would be left alive in Matt 24:22.
Jeremiah
30:3-11 gives us the clearest definition
of it’s overall purpose and I quote: The days are coming,’ declares
the LORD, ‘when I will bring my people Israel and Judah back from captivity and
restore them to the land I gave their forefathers to possess,’ says the LORD.”
These are the words the LORD spoke concerning Israel and
Judah: “This is what the LORD says: ” ‘Cries of fear
are heard—terror, not peace. Ask and see: Can a man bear children? Then why do
I see every strong man with his hands on his stomach like a woman in labor,
every face turned deathly pale?
How awful that day will be! None will be like it. It will be a time of trouble for Jacob, but he will be
saved out of it.
” ‘In that day,’ declares the LORD Almighty, ‘I will break
the yoke off their necks and will tear off their bonds; no longer will
foreigners enslave them. Instead, they will serve the
LORD their God and David their king, whom I will raise up for them.
” ‘So do not fear, O Jacob my servant; do not be dismayed,
O Israel,’ declares the LORD. ‘I will surely save you out of a distant place,
your descendants from the land of their exile. Jacob
will again have peace and security, and no one will make him afraid.
I am with you and will save you,’declares the LORD. ‘Though
I completely destroy all the nations among which I scatter you, I will not
completely destroy you. I will discipline you but
only with justice; I will not let you go entirely unpunished.’
In this passage the event is
foretold, its purpose explained, and the timing is made clear. Let’s take the
timing first. According to verse 3 it will take place after Israel and Judah
are re-gathered in the land as one nation, and verse 9 says it will result in
David (Jesus) becoming their King again.
There have been two re-gatherings
since the passage was written, but the first, beginning in 535 BC, didn’t
result in David becoming Israel’s King. (In fact, from about 600 BC to
this day the Jews have had no legitimate king.) This is absolutely important
prophetically.
The second
re-gathering began in 1948 AD and continues to this day. Though the population
of Israel keeps growing, so do the Jewish populations of all the nations to
which the Jews have been scattered, and there are still about as many Jews
outside Israel as there are in Israel. All that will soon change as the
Lord calls all His people to return to their Promised Land following His
victory in the Battle of Ezekiel
38-39. This will cause the greatest
Aliyah or return. The second re-gathering is the one that will lead to
the fulfillment of Jeremiah 30:3-11. In Isaiah 11:11-13 God foretold that the second
re-gathering would put an end to the contention between Israel and
Judah and Ezekiel
confirmed in prophesy in 37:15-25 that
sometime after this reunion David/ Yeshua will be their King.
In Jeremiah
30:11 God gives the purpose of the Great Trib. “Though I completely destroy all the nations among which I scatter you,(by the way
that includes the United States) I will not
completely destroy you (the Jews). I will discipline you but only with justice; I will not
let you go entirely unpunished.”
Israel must be purified in
preparation for the Kingdom Age God promised them, and the nations who rejected
the Messiah and persecuted His people must be destroyed. The Jewish Kingdom Age
is set up and follows the Great Trib. It is the Kingdom of Heaven on earth for
the Jews.
So the purpose of the Great
Tribulation is twofold; discipline or purify the people of Israel, and
completely destroy the nations to which they had been scattered.
Now how
does God’s church, His bride, fit into God’s prophetic plan? According to
Paul’s Letter to the Ephesians in 2:15-16 the church is nothing less than a new
race of mankind, coming from among both Jews and Gentiles but sharing a destiny
with neither.
The problem
had always been that God could never dwell for long in the midst of His
creation. Our sins always drove Him away. But at the cross, everything changed
with the Yeshua’s perfect blood sacrifice. He reconciled all things to himself,
things in heaven and on earth. See (Col
1:19-20). This meant that He was now
at peace with His creation for the first time since the Fall of Man. He
accomplished this by paying the price for all the sins of mankind. Now, for
anyone who would accept it, a full pardon for behavior past, present and future
was available, free for the asking.
Accepting this
pardon qualifies you, or any person, young or old, Jew or Gentile, good or bad,
to become a new creation. When we genuinely accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and
Savior or God’s pardon it permits God to look upon us as if we are without sin
altogether; and in fact as if we had never sinned to begin with. We truly live
in a spiritual matrix. We are spiritual beings trapped in sinful bodies. The
salvation on the cross divided mankind into three groups: Jew, Gentile and
Church see (1 Cor. 10:32). There was no longer either Jew or Gentile see (Galatians
3:26-28) This means God’s purpose is not
served by having us, His church, present in the Great Tribulation.
It’s critical
that we understand God’s perspective in this because it’s substantially
different from ours. To Him, the church is without sin, holy and blameless, and
has been since the cross see (Ephes. 5:25-27). Whatever sins we as individuals have committed (or will
commit) have been forgiven (Colossians 2:13-14) and it’s as if they never happened (2 Cor 5:17). This is absolutely amazing to me, that God loves us that
much. At the cross, the church became as righteous as God Himself see (2 Cor 5:21), having been made perfect forever see (Hebr.
10:12-14). Because of the cross God
has a people with whom He can live in peace. Our further purification is
not necessary.
Now listen carefully, there is no
purpose to be served by having the Church endure the Great Tribulation.
Remember, the Church is a body spanning 40 generations of human life. If
we were not all made perfect at the cross, how could the suffering of the
final generation of believers serve to purify all those who have preceded
us? All the generations of the Church have died in hope of spending
eternity with the Lord as the Bible promises us. Is it only ours who will
receive this promise and then only after sharing in Israel’s purification? Of
course not.
In Israel’s
case it’s a different matter. The past generations who rejected their
Messiah are lost. The last Jewish generation’s purification through the
Great Tribulation won’t save those who have gone before. It’s intended to
finally open Jewish eyes and hearts to Yeshua so that a remnant of God’s chosen
people can be preserved. see (Zech. 12:10-13)
And as
we’ve seen, during the Great Tribulation God’s focus will be on Israel and
His focus is always either Israel or the Church, never both at once. This is
absolutely critical for our prophetic understanding. This was explained
by James in Acts
15:12-18 and by Paul in Romans 11:25-27. If you take the view, as I do, that the Battle of Ezekiel 38 occurs before the Great Tribulation, and realize that one
outcome of that battle is to turn Israel back to God, (Ezek.
39:28-29) then you know the church’s
days on Earth have to end at the same time. This is what makes the fact that
Israel exists again, exactly 2,484 years to the day as God prophesized, that
the Jews speak a dead language Hebrew and that God ended the 1900 year drought
in Israel and made Israel bloom important signs that the end is near.
So let’s
summarize. Of course the Scriptures promise that the Church won’t be
present on Earth for the Great Tribulation. I won’t detail those prophecies now
because my intent is three fold: 1. to demonstrate the two-fold purpose of the
Great Tribulation is to discipline Israel 2. completely destroy the unbelieving
nations, and 3. to show that the Church has no part in either. Therefore
our presence on Earth during that period would serve no purpose and in fact
would be in direct opposition to our nature as God sees us.
