As we know, the Devil, is the father of all lies. Besides lying his other speciality is imitating, with the false or pseudo, "lookalikes" When the nation of Israel in 1948 was resurrected, so to speak with their own flag, the Evil one, the accuser of the brethren, resurrected another group of people, also in 1948: The so-called "Palestinians" which are mostly of Arab descend, mixed in with other people groups, some even say from Eastern Europe. Regardless they have never been a nation before & still aren't. But they are living in the same geographical location, as the "Philistines", the arch enemies of Israel in the Old Testament. Biblical & other historical evidence is pointing to the fact that these people don't exist anymore as a nation or people group. Is this as coincidence, no I don't think so! Compare the colours of the "Palestinian" flag with the colours of the 4 Horseman in Revelation 6! And also look at the historical meaning of these colours. And then compare this with the beautiful Israeli flag & the meaning of the colours. Look at the images below and judge for your self.

The above title is in relation to the recent first anniversary of the barbaric, murderous, depraved actions of the Islamic terror group Hamas toward the nation of Israel and the Jewish people on October 7, 2023. No amount of obfuscation, misdirection, political double-speak, or demonic moralizing can excuse what took place on that day. This is not how civilized people conduct their affairs. Sometimes war is inevitable, but in those instances, there is a formal declaration after efforts have been made to avoid it. Americans especially should be sensitive to this after December 7, 1941, and September 11, 2001. Yet, without warning, Iran’s terrorist proxy Hamas, in a well-planned surprise attack, murdered, raped, and assaulted civilians, taking captive hundreds of innocent people. This was not a declaration of war; this was a declaration that when uncivilized people are propagandized long enough, they become the willing tools of demonic barbarian slaughter. There was great celebration throughout the Shia Muslim world at the devastation rendered to what Shia Muslims refer to as the “little Satan,” Israel. The atrocity inflicted upon the Jewish people on October 7, 2023, was seen by a jubilant Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah, and Houthi Shia Muslims as a blessing from “Allah” and surely a sign of his granting a forthcoming victory over all Jews. At long last, “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” was within grasp. No one knows, except the ayatollah’s themselves, what the desired outcome of their barbaric invasion was. One thing is for certain: neither Iran nor any of its aforementioned proxies understood that pushing Israel to the degree that they did would result in an all-out war. We can be certain about this because, for all of their bluster and saber-rattling, Iran has been exposed as a “paper tiger” with neither the means nor the will to enter into a direct military conflict with Israel. Along the way, the “elephant in the room” conversations are now taking place. Terrorist sympathizers are being exposed at the highest levels of government in the US, UK, France, and elsewhere. Their repeated calls for restraint on Israel’s part and a continual call upon Israel to accept a cease-fire exposes them as cowards in the least and radical Islamist mouthpieces that are not worthy of office. This kind of behaviour and moral blindness by elected representatives is not a mere disagreement over policy. Their support of Iran terrorism through Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis, and every other group around the world shows a fundamental lack of understanding about what makes us all human beings. There is no scenario where rape as part of an ideology, murdering babies, infants, and toddlers in their cribs, defenceless old men and women in the streets, and taking captive hundreds of people and subjecting them to the worse imaginable treatment for over a year is acceptable. And yet, that is the argument being advanced by Islamists and their sympathizers. International organizations have attempted to stop Israel’s response through lawfare (The International Criminal Court of Justice comes to mind), or through the United Nations. Why would any nation ever support the United Nations after it has been proven that the United Nations Palestinian Refugee Agency (UNRWA) was riddled with Islamic terrorists who participated in the October 7 massacre? The latest blindness and abject lunacy come from the Nobel Peace Prize Forum which declared their complete moral bankruptcy just days ago by nominating for their highest honour the same terrorist UNRWA mentioned above, the International Criminal Court of Justice mentioned above, and UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, who has been so openly biased against Israel that Israel’s Foreign Minister, Israel Katz, recently banned him from entering Israel. It was Guterres who demonstrated his own inability to comprehend basic morality by declaring soon after October 7, 2023, that the Hamas barbarity “did not happen in a vacuum.” What Iran does not understand is that they rolled the dice on October 7, 2023, thereby casting the die for what will soon come upon them. They cannot walk back what has already been set in motion. In their obsession to destroy Israel, the ayatollahs started the process of their own demise. My prayer is that Israel will not hesitate to strike Iran. Israel must cut off the head of the snake. What governments in the US, UK, and France did not count on was the support for Israel’s right to exist and defend itself among their citizenries. These kinds of conversations are out in the open now. The elephant has run out of the room. There is no returning to business as usual, regardless of the number of high-ranking government officials beholden to the filthy Islamic lucre given to them. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has recently taken to citing verses from the Tanakh. I remind him and all born again believers in Christ and supporters of Israel, that Psalm 21:8-11 foretells the fate of all the enemies of God and His chosen people: “Your hand will find all Your enemies; Your right hand will find those who hate You. You shall make them as a fiery oven in the time of Your anger; The Lord shall swallow them up in His wrath, And the fire shall devour them. Their offspring You shall destroy from the earth, And their descendants from among the sons of men. For they intended evil against You; They devised a plot which they are not able to perform.” Indeed, the Islamists will not succeed. Glory to God for His unwavering faithfulness toward all believers in Christ Jesus and to His people Israel, whose own redemption draws nigh.

There is so much biased news reporting on this conflict from the MSM, that sadly even many Christians are misinformed. Some of the worst offenders are the BBC & CNN. But sadly the Australian Media besides Sky News is also extremely negative & biased towards Israel. This interview with Mosab Hassan Yousef by Douglas Murray is excellent & gives a first hand account of what really is going on & that the problem runs much deeper: The problem is with this religion of hate that glorifies death & killing of people simply because they are not Muslim & especially if they are Jews or Christians. First they go after the "Saturday" people, then the "Sunday" people & then the "West" in general. The Jewish people are the "Canary in the coalmine" so to speak. Don't forget that the Islamic extremists hate Israel, America & the West with a passion. Sadly among the western nations, including Australia are many naive (especially among university educated) people, or should I say evil, sympathising with Islam & Hamas.

A Tesla model Y battery takes up all of the space under the passenger compartment of the car. To manufacture it you need: --12 tons of rock for Lithium (can also be extracted from sea water) -- 5 tons of cobalt minerals (Most cobalt is made as a byproduct of processing copper and nickel ores. It is the most difficult and expensive material to obtain for a battery.) -- 3 tons nickel ore -- 12 tons of copper ore You must move 250 tons of soil to obtain: -- 26.5 pounds of Lithium -- 30 pounds of nickel -- 48.5 pounds of manganese -- 15 pounds of cobalt To manufacture the battery also requires: -- 441 pounds of aluminium, steel and/or plastic -- 112 pounds of graphite The Caterpillar 994K is used to move the earth to obtain the minerals needed for this battery. The Caterpillar consumes 1628 litres of diesel in 12 hours. The bulk of necessary minerals for manufacturing the batteries come from China or Africa. Much of the labor in Africa is done by children. When you buy an electric car, China profits most. The 2021 Tesla Model Y OEM battery (the cheapest Tesla battery) is currently for sale on the Internet for $3,500 not including shipping or installation. The battery weighs 1,000 pounds (you can imagine the shipping cost). The cost of Tesla batteries are: Model 3 -- $14,000+ (Car MSRP $38,990) Model Y -- $5,000–$5,500 (Car MSRP $47,740) Model S -- $13,000–$20,000 (Car MSRP $74,990) Model X -- $13,000+ (Car MSRP $79,990) *All prices in $US It takes 7 years for an electric car to reach net-zero CO2. The life expectancy of the battery is 10 years (average). Only in the last 3 years do you start to reduce your carbon footprint, but then the batteries must be replaced and you lose all gains made. Lastly, the amount of energy required to process the raw materials and the amount of energy used to haul these batteries to their destination. But by all means, get an electric car. Just stop trying to force me to under the guise that it helps our world or other humans when it clearly doesn’t.

Besides the prophetic part of the Scriptures, which is about 30% of the whole Bible, there has also been warnings from secular writers, regarding the times we are living in. They were maybe given insight by God, even though they were not Christians, to warn people who would never think of picking up an Bible. Of course James Orwell is one of the most famous one, but there many others. Besides did you know or realise that a large majority of the prophetic Scriptures / verses are about the time we are now living in !

What a violent culture we live in today. Violent crimes are sweeping the world. In many countries people are afraid to go out on the streets at night. Jesus said that things would be increasingly wicked in the last days, and the climate of the time prior to His return would be similar to the climate of the time during Noah’s life. So what was it like in Noah’s time? Are there any distinguishing characteristics that parallel our own? In Noah’s day two sins predominated: excessive violence and sexual perversion. Genesis 6:5 , speaking of Noah’s time, says, “And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.” There were other characteristics of Noah’s day as well. Jesus said, “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” ( Matthew 24:38–39 ). We might paraphrase this statement by saying it was business as usual. Noah was building a massive ark without a body of water nearby. There hadn’t even been rain on earth at that point. But Noah faithfully followed the directions God had given him. And as the years went by, he kept on with the job God called him to. No doubt people thought of Noah as some sort of crackpot. Jesus was saying that in the last days, people also will ignore prophetic warnings. They’ll disregard the clear message of God to them. For the most part it will be business as usual. People will go on with their day-to-day activities. What It All Means However, the writing is on the wall for anyone who will pay attention. And just as Noah was mocked, followers of Jesus will be mocked as well, because that, too, is a sign of the last days. People today laugh at the concept of Bible prophecy and the return of Christ, but one day their mockery will cease and their laughter will stop when Jesus fulfils His words. He is coming back. According to Scripture, there is a generation that will not see death. Instead they will be removed from the face of the earth in what is known as the rapture of the church. This is what Jesus was referring to when He said: “Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left” ( Matthew 24:40–41 ). Instantaneously millions of believers from around the globe will be caught up into God’s presence. This is spoken of elsewhere in the Bible as well. Paul wrote: “Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 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.” ( 1 Corinthians 15:51–52 ). And John wrote: “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 ). A Happy Anticipation Christ is coming for His church, and He said: “In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there you may be also” ( John 14:2–3 ). In the original language, the phrase “come and get you” implies seizing by force. That is exactly what Jesus will do. He will return and take His people into His presence. Are you ready ? Are you ready for His return? Are you looking for it? It means being ready to meet Him. It means living in anticipation of the return of Christ. To put it another way, it means that you shouldn’t be doing things that would hinder your spiritual life. The teaching of the return of Christ should serve as a motivator, as a comfort to you. As John said, “And every man that hath this hope in him purifies himself, even as he is pure” ( 1 John 3:3 ). There are two ways of looking at the Lord’s coming: a looking for it and looking at it. It is possible to look at it with keen intellect and a profound interest, and yet have it mean nothing to us personally. It is also possible to know but little of the theology of the subject, and yet have a deep and holy longing for the Lord to appear. May this theme be not only our study but also our personal hope. It isn’t just intellectually saying, “I know Christ will come again.” Rather, it’s looking for and welcoming His return. And if there’s anything in our lives that should be changed, anything that is not right with God, we should deal with it now.

As a young man in High School in the Netherlands I was also taught "Evolution Theory" & "Darwinism". But somehow this never stuck with me & didn't make sense even though I was certainly not a Christian at that time. I was amazed at the things I saw growing up on a farm. Seeing the geese flying over in V-formation, coming from Scandinavia flying south to the South of France or even as far as Spain in order to survive the winter. How did they know what to do? This is one of the many examples I saw & pondered on. Sadly many churches, Bible Schools & Seminaries have interpreted the Creation Narrative symbolically & no longer believe in a literal 6 day Creation & relatively young earth. If we move away from this foundational teaching, then we are on a slippery slope as it is key to understanding & believing God & the Scriptures as a whole ! https://www.facebook.com/reel/1192160488677784

The below 3 memes speak a thousand words. Are you also fed up with the hypocrisy from the political left?

The many distractions of modern life keep the majority of people oblivious to the dangers of our fallen world. However, a world of turmoil, violence, and lawlessness in this world sadly, is a view that most people choose to ignore or simply cannot see. The View The conflict in the Middle East is just one of many hotspots that could quickly easily explode into the next world war. I hear threats of impending nuclear warfare almost every day. The debt level in the U.S & many other countries, passed the dollar mark which we can not even pronounce, with almost all of the money collected from individual tax returns needed to cover just the interest for it. I cannot explain how we could reach such a mark without it completely obliterating our economies. As it is, we have an inflation rate that’s significantly higher than what the governments are willing to admit, one that’s severely hurting most families. The deception and gaslighting of our day are off the charts. The book of Revelation tells me that it will get worse once the antichrist arrives on the scene, but that’s more than I can comprehend at the moment. Lawlessness and violence have become commonplace across the globe. Protestors fill our streets in support of the most demonic, despicable, and horrendous terrorist group imaginable. Why the tolerance for demonstrators calling for the elimination of Israel as a nation and the death of all Jews? Smartphones are merely symptomatic of how easily we can become addicted to modern life with its pleasures, entertainment, sports, and travel. There’s nothing wrong with these things by themselves as long as they don’t keep our focus inside the train and anesthetized to the perils outside the window. The Comfort I couldn’t endure all that I see happening apart from the Bible which tells me about Jesus and my hope of His imminent appearing. He is the sum total of my security and hope for tomorrow. Sometimes, my morning quiet times end with my arms wrapped around my Bible. I hug the words of Scripture because they alone comfort and encourage me when I look beyond the peaceful scenes of my neighbourhood. I’m grieved by churches that tell us that matters of Bible prophecy are tertiary, or those of lesser importance than other matters of faith. This assertion defies a realistic view of our current world, which screams with the message that Bible prophecy is of the utmost importance for our time. Believers today desperately need to hear what the Bible says about the future. It’s not debatable, not even close. Bible prophecy is most certainly not a tertiary matter. The passion that keeps me writing is that of offering hope to the saints in these last days. I don’t know how much longer we have until we meet Jesus in the air, but all the signs tell us that the sudden destruction that will mark the start of the Day of the Lord will soon fall on an unsuspecting world, people too distracted to view the chaos of our world. Our hope does not rest in politics or in getting the right person elected. The church will fail us; we dare not place our hope in it or in the Lord somehow subduing the evil around us through it. That’s not the purpose of the church. We are the body of Christ; we are not a kingdom that will succeed in bringing peace to the world. God’s Word tells us that evil and violence will increase in the days before Jesus’ return, just as we now see happening. Believers who possess the discernment of a biblical worldview, one bathed in Bible prophecy, see the world for what it is. We know that the devil’s domination of the nations will continue until Jesus’ all-glorious and spectacular Second Coming. The distractions are many; I know all too well how easily they can take my eyes off the prize of the pre-Tribulation Rapture.

THERE IS no doubt that Russia is to invade Israel in the Last Days and that she will do this in association with four  Muslim countries actually named in  Ezekiel chapter 38.  But there is some confusion among some Bible teachers as to when this invasion will occur. Some teach that the Russian invasion could occur before the Rapture, others teach that it will occur in the first half of the Tribulation while others place it at the end of the seven years of the  Tribulation at the time of the battle of  Armageddon.  If we rightly divide the Word of Truth there can be absolutely no doubt that the Russian invasion must occur in the first half of the Tribulation.  It Cannot Occur at the End of the Tribulation  It cannot occur at the end of the  Tribulation because only five nation s  are involved in the Russian-led invasion  whereas the battle of Armageddon  at the end of the Tribulation involves  ALL nations (Compare Joel 3:2 with  Ezek.38:1-6).   The Russian invasion is led by  Gog the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal (Russia) whereas the battle  of Armageddon is led by the Beast (Antichrist) who is the leader of the Revived Roman Empire. The Russian invasion concludes  with the land of Magog (Russia) being  burned and 1/6 of the invading army  will escape to Siberia (Joel 2:20) whereas none of the invading armies  that attack Jerusalem in the Battle  of Armageddon will escape. They,  together with Antichrist will be all  destroyed and cast into the lake of fire  (Dan.7:11, Rev.19:20).  Israel must be a converted nation  waiting for Messiah to return when  Jesus comes (Isa.25:9) at the end of  the Tribulation. At the beginning of  the Tribulation there will be 144,000 Jews preaching the Gospel of the  Kingdom “in all the world”. They are  the “firstfruits” of the nation and will  be persecuted by fellow Jews at  first (Matt.10:16-23). The 144,000 are all martyred by the mid-point of the  Tribulation and are in heaven around  the throne in Rev.14.  Israel is converted at the time of  the Russian invasion (Ezek.39:22-29)  and in the midst of the Tribulation,  Israel will be singing praises “from the  utmost parts of the earth” (Isa.24:16)  and will give thanks for having “a  refuge from the storm ” (Isa.25:4). If  the Russian invasion was the battle  of Armageddon then Israel would not  sing praises during the Tribulation.  It will be too late for anybody, Jew or  Gentile, to repent when Christ returns  “ in flaming fire taking vengeance on  them that know not God” (2Thess.1:8).  During the Tribulation Israel will have great victories over her enemies “ like  a torch in a sheaf ” (Zech 12:6). This  cannot happen while she is rejecting  Messiah. The Palestinian Covenant  promises victories only when Israel  seeks the Lord (Deut.30:1-10).  It Cannot Occur BEFORE the Rapture  i) If the Russian invasion must occur  before the Rapture that would remove  the doctrine of imminence. We should  be looking for the Russian invasion  and not the Lord to call Christians  home. The Bible clearly teaches that  nobody knows the day or hour when  the Son of man will come. The angels  don’t know and even Jesus does not  know when the Rapture will happen  (Mark 13:32).  ii) When the Russian invasion occurs  “the whole house of Israel” receives  mercy from the Lord (Ezek.39:25;  Jer.31:34).  If this occurred before the Rapture  every Jew would be raptured and  there would be no Jews here for the  Tribulation but the whole purpose  of the Tribulation is to bring Israel  to repentance. Israel cannot reign  with Christ in the Kingdom while  unrepentant.   iii) The Tribulation is the “ Time of  Jacob’s trouble ” but if they are  saved before the Rapture they would  become part of the Gentile Church  and there would be no Jews here  for the Tribulation! The Tribulation  is determined upon Jerusalem  and Daniel’s people i.e. the Jews  (Dan.9:24) therefore Israel cannot turn  to the Lord BEFORE the Rapture.   Acts 15:14 tells us that God will “visit  the Gentiles” to “take out of them a   people for His name” BEFORE the Lord  returns to rebuild Israel. We cannot  mix the Church Age with Israel’s 70th  “week”.  It MUST occur BEFORE Antichrist  begins to Reign at the Mid-point of  the Tribulation  a) The Book of Revelation is a  chronological outline of the events  occurring during the seven years  of the Tribulation from chapter 4 to  chapter 18.  Chapters 6 to 9 describe the first half  when the seal and trumpet judgments  are poured out and chapters 10 to 14  describe events occurring at the mid point while chapters 15 to 18 describe  the “seven last plagues” (Rev.15:1)  which are the seven Vial (Bowl)  judgments.  At the mid-point of the seven years  Satan is cast down from heaven to  the earth (Rev.12:12) and Antichrist is  demon possessed. Antichrist reigns  for 42 months (Rev.13:5).  Then at the mid-point of the  Tribulation, Satan is wroth with Israel  and persecutes those who “keep the  commandments of God, and have the  testimony of Jesus Christ ” (Rev.12:17).  Daniel describes this:   “Therefore he shall go forth with  great fury to destroy, and utterly to  make away many” (Dan.11:44).  Since Israel has the testimony of Jesus  Christ when the Beast takes universal  control, Israel must be converted  before the mid-point of the Tribulation!  b) During the second half of the  Tribulation God will provide protection  for Israel from the attacks of Antichrist.  Isaiah speaks of this:  “Come, my people, enter your chambers , and shut thy  doors behind you: hide yourself as  it were for a little moment, until  the indignation is past . For,  behold, the LORD comes out of his  place to punish the inhabitants of  the earth” (Isa. 26:20-21).  John wrote about this in Rev.12:6.  He states that Israel would flee from  Jerusalem when Antichrist moved into  the Temple. She would go into the  wilderness, where she   “where she has a place prepared by God,  that they should feed her there one thousand two hundred and sixty days ” (Rev.12:6, 14).  Jesus told Israel in the Olivet Discourse  that when they saw the  “abomination of desolation…stand in  the holy place…then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains” (Matt.24:15-16).  Somewhere in the Judean wilderness  there are caves “ prepared of God ”  where redeemed Israel will be able  to find refuge from the attacks of  Antichrist for the last 1,260 days  before the Lord returns. God would  not be providing a place of refuge  for Israel if they were still rejecting  His beloved Son and Antichrist would  not be attacking Israel if they were not  repentant.  At the time of the Rapture Israel makes  a covenant with Antichrist as the head  of the EU and the reason for his hatred  at the mid-point is because Israel has  turned to Jesus Christ. Therefore the  Russian invasion must occur in the first  half of the Tribulation.  The 144,000 Jewish men from the  12 tribes of Israel will no doubt be responsible for leading Israel to  seek the Lord in the first half of the  Tribulation and Joel prophesied that  when the “ northern army ” comes into  the land like a plague of locusts, that   “THEN will the Lord be zealous  for His land, and pity His people”  (Joel2:18).  Furthermore it is when the “northern  army” is removed that God pours out  His Spirit upon the nation (Joel 2:28).  This conversion of Israel will be  accompanied by   “wonders in the heavens and in the  earth, blood and fire and pillars of  smoke. The sun shall be turned into  darkness, and the moon into blood,  BEFORE the great and terrible day  of the Lord come (Joel2:30-31).  These signs occur at the Russian  invasion which is the 6th seal  Judgment (Ezek,38:19-23; Rev.6:12-14).  And after this Joel describes the  battle of Armageddon and the second  advent of Christ:   “For behold in t hose days , and in that time ,  when I bring back the captives  of Judah and Jerusalem, I will ALSO gather all nations, and will bring them  down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat,  and will enter into judgement with them there on account my  people …” (Joel3:1-2).  Chapter three of Joel’s prophecy  describes the second half of the  Tribulation and the return of Christ  “immediately after” the Tribulation  (Joel 3:15-16) so it is perfectly clear that  the conversion of Israel that occurs  when Russia invades must be BEFORE  the second half of the Tribulation.  In the first half of the Tribulation God  deals with Israel and brings them to  repentance but in the second half He  judges the nations.

Yes it does say in the Scriptures we have to go through all kinds of testing, trial & tribulations. Also the Lord Jesus says that he sent out his disciples as sheep among wolves & warned us that in this world we have troubles. But that is not referring to the Great Tribulation! But it doesn't say anywhere that we as born again believers in the Lord & Saviour Jesus Christ, the Son of God, will have to go through 3 series of plagues, which is clearly defined as the period of God's Wrath on this earth & the gentile nations & bring the Jewish people as a nation back to Him & repentance. Yes you can stubbornly hold on to "Israel Replacement Theology" & "Dominion Theology". But please believe the Scriptures what it says, not reading what you believe I am over hearing the stereotype arguments of the anti Pre-Trib crowd: *All you guys want is to escape - Do you want to stay here on this corrupted earth? *Rapture believing Christians are passive, they don't fight for righteous in society- That might be true for some, but you got passive , lazy Christians in any denomination or doctrinal flavour. *It all started with Darby & Scofield. Nonsense it started with Apostle Paul in the letters to the church in Thessaloniki. Please read these Scriptures (Amplified Bible) & notes from one of my messages on this topic below: Ten confirmations that the snatching away (rapture) of the church will happen before the Antichrist is revealed & the 3 series of plagues in Revelation 1- He will keep us from the hour of trial Revelation 3:10 Because you have kept the word of My endurance [My command to persevere], I will keep you [safe] from the hour of trial, that hour which is about to come on the whole [inhabited] world, to test those who live on the earth. 2- We are not destined to suffer wrath 1 Thessalonians 5:9 For God has not destined us to [incur His] wrath [that is, He did not select us to condemn us], but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, 3- The Antichrist is being restrained till the appointed time 2 Thessalonians 2:5-7 5 Do you not remember that when I was still with you, I was telling you these things? 6 And you know what restrains him now [from being revealed]; it is so that he will be revealed at his own [appointed] time. 7 For the mystery of lawlessness [rebellion against divine authority and the coming reign of lawlessness] is already at work; [but it is restrained] only until he who now restrains it is taken out of the way. 4- What must take place after this..... Revelation 4:1 After this I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven! And the first voice which I had heard, like the sound of a [war] trumpet speaking with me, said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after these things.” 5- Rescues us from the coming wrath 1 Thessalonians 1:10 and to [look forward and confidently] wait for [the coming of] His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead—Jesus, who [personally] rescues us from the coming wrath [and draws us to Himself, granting us all the privileges and rewards of a new life with Him]. 6- Escape all the things that are going to take place Luke 21:36 36But keep alert at all times [be attentive and ready], praying that you may have the strength and ability [to be found worthy and] to escape all these things that are going to take place, and to stand in the presence of the Son of Man [at His coming].” 7- The body of Christ, His Church will face the judgement seat of Christ, not the great day of His wrath Revelation 6:17 for the great day of their wrath and vengeance and retribution has come, and who is able to [face God and] stand [before the wrath of the Lamb]?” 8- The location of the seven lampstands (churches) indicates that they are not any longer on earth A) The lampstands are here on earth Revelation 1:20 As for the mystery of the seven stars which you saw in My right hand, and the seven golden lampstands: the seven stars are the angels (divine messengers) of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches. B) The lamps (indwelt by the Holy Spirit) are in heaven in front of the throne Revelation 4:5 From the throne came flashes of lightning and [rumbling] sounds and peals of thunder. Seven lamps of fire were burning in front of the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God; C) The divine outline in Revelation *Write the things you have seen, (The Vision of Christ, Ch 1) and *the things which are, (The 7 churches, Ch 2 & 3) and *the things which will take place after this; (Which follows after the churches; Ch 4-22) *The word is “Meta Tauta” meaning “hereafter”, or “after these things (Revelation 4:1) 9- Will believers in Christ mourn when he comes back? Revelation 1:7 Behold, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him; and all the tribes (nations) of the earth will mourn over Him [realizing their sin and guilt, and anticipating the coming wrath]. So it is to be. Amen. All born again, Spirit filled believers will long for & welcome His appearing! 2 Timothy 4:8 In the future there is reserved for me the [victor’s] crown of righteousness [for being right with God and doing right], which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that [great] day—and not to me only, but also to all those who have loved and longed for and welcomed His appearing. Hebrews 9:28 so Christ, having been offered once and once for all to bear [as a burden] the sins of many, will appear a second time [when he returns to earth], not to deal with sin, but to bring salvation to those who are eagerly and confidently waiting for Him. 10- The word church is not any longer mentioned after Revelation 4 & the titles of Christ change Revelation 1-3 has over 24 titles for the Lord Jesus Christ, but none of these are distinctly Jewish. But starting from Ch 4 the titles of Christ change, they become distinctly Jewish: e.g. The Lion of the tribe of Judah, Root of David, The Lamb

The God of this universe is a Zionist, and, therefore, the question I have for you is simply: Are you? If you’re not, you are heading on a collision course with God, and you will have to give an account one day of what you did or didn’t do to “the least of these” Jesus’ brothers and sisters, the Jewish people. If God is a Zionist, we ought to be! Now, maybe you’re wondering, “ What is Zionism?” Very simply, it means that you identify that the Jewish people have a right to return to their ancestral homeland. Douglas Murray, a British author, conservative political commentator, journalist, and solid advocate for Israel and the Jewish people, laid out Zionism very well in a recent Munk Debate in Toronto, Canada. Here are just a few highlights of what he said in that debate: You would’ve thought after an attack like the one that Hamas instigated that started this terrible war, [there] would be some sympathy from the world. You might have thought the world would pay attention to the attack and at least pay attention to the people behind it. You might have expected, like me, that there might have been a worldwide opposition to the terrorists, rapists, and murderers of Hamas. You might have thought there would be hatred around the world erupting that the government of Qatar and its mouthpiece, Al Jazeera, [are] funding Hamas and hosting the leadership of Hamas in Qatar. You might have thought there would have been an outpouring of rage at the Islamic Revolutionary government of Tehran. But, no. There was an immediate outpouring of rage against the State that had been attacked. Douglas went on to say: The interesting thing about antisemitism is, as my late friend Jonathan Sacks said, it’s a shape-shifting virus. It moves across the centuries. When you could hate people for their religion, the Jews were hated for their religion. Then, you couldn’t hate people for that anymore, so people hated the Jews for their race. Then, after that, in the 20th century, people realized that wasn’t a great idea either. Now, Jews are hated, not for their religion or their race, but for having a state. People around the world hate them so much for it that Israelis are attacked when they have hostages taken, and they’re also attacked when they rescue their hostages. The interesting thing about antisemitism is the Jews can never win because, historically, they’ve been hated for being rich and for being poor. They’ve been hated for integrating and for not integrating. They were hated for being stateless; now, they’re hated for having a state. Today, the only really acceptable form of antisemitism, aside from the far-right, is anti-Zionism. Zionism is simply the right of the Jews to self-determination in their historic homeland—that’s all. He continued: Antisemitism is double standards against Jewish people or cruel and unfair treatment of people because they are Jews. This isn’t very far away from here. If this isn’t antisemitism, can the audience here tell me why the following things have happened since October 7th? Why in a Montreal suburb was a synagogue firebombed, as happened in November, and gunshots against a yeshiva? Why in Toronto was a bookstore owned by a Jew attacked? Why was a Molotov cocktail thrown through a Jewish community center in Montreal? Why was a Toronto Jewish deli in North York firebombed? Why in Toronto was the Orthodox synagogue vandalized? Why in Toronto did two men open fire the other week on a Jewish girls’ school? One question hovers over all of it above all—the question of who would protect the Jews. Who would you trust to protect them? The Europeans? The Arab world? No, history shows only one people protect the Jewish people: the Jewish people. That’s what Zionism is. Well said, Doug! In the end, the most important thing to consider is whether or not God is a Zionist. We must look to His Word, and there we will find that it is God Himself who has chosen Zion, the land of Israel, to put his name forever. That’s what we read in Psalm 132:13-14 , “For the Lord hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation. This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it.” Seeing that God owns the land, He can give it to whomever He wants, and God has given it to the physical descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as an everlasting possession. Even though God had scattered the Jewish people to the four corners of the Earth because of their disobedience to Him, His word is very clear that He would also regather them back in the latter days—the days in which we are living. One day, when the kingdom comes, when Israel’s Messiah Returns, the law will go forth out of Zion to the world. The pre-eminence is going to shift from the Gentiles to the Jewish people as their Messiah, Jesus, is going to be ruling and reigning on the throne of His father David for a thousand years. Isaiah 2:2-4 states, “Now it shall come to pass in the latter days That the mountain of the Lord’s house Shall be established on the top of the mountains, And shall be exalted above the hills; And all nations shall flow to it. Many people shall come and say, ‘Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, To the house of the God of Jacob; He will teach us His ways, And we shall walk in His paths.’ For out of Zion shall go forth the law, And the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. He shall judge between the nations, And rebuke many people; They shall beat their swords into ploughshares, And their spears into pruning hooks; Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, Neither shall they learn war anymore.” There you have it. God is a Zionist, and He’s also jealous for Zion with a great jealousy—simply read Zachariah chapter one. He’s jealous for His people and He’s regathering them back to the land He has given them right before our very eyes. As Douglas Murray pointed out, anti-Zionism is antisemitism. You cannot separate the two. Therefore, the question is, friends, what side of history do you want to be on? Even Douglas Murray, who didn’t point to the Bible, can clearly see that the Jewish people have a right to return to their ancestral Homeland. He also stated that it is only the Jewish people who will protect the Jews. I’ll go one step further. It’s not the Jewish people that are going to protect themselves, but it’s the God of this universe that is ultimately going to protect the Jewish people. Jeremiah 31: 35-36 reads, “Thus says the Lord, Who gives the sun for a light by day, The ordinances of the moon and the stars for a light by night, Who disturbs the sea, And its waves roar (The Lord of hosts is His name): ‘If those ordinances depart From before Me, says the Lord, Then the seed of Israel shall also cease From being a nation before Me forever.'” As long as the sun, moon, and stars are shining in the sky, Israel will not cease from being a nation before Him forever. Again, I ask, what side of history do you want to be on? I trust you want to be on the side of history that lines up with God’s passions and God’s love. He has an everlasting love for Israel and the Jewish people. Continue to pray for the Peace of Jerusalem. The Jewish people need our prayers more than ever. If they ever needed a friend, now is the time. As believers in God’s Word, we ought to stand, support, and love Israel and the Jewish people. We need to be pro-Zionists. We need to be Christian Zionists who come alongside them every chance we get against those who hate them. Psalm 129:5 says, “Let all those who hate Zion be put to shame and turned back.” May it be said of us Believers that we love Zion.
