BREAKING NEWS!

                It doesn’t matter what your traditional eschatology has been, everyone needs to wake up and take a look at what is happening in Israel right now!

                The Sanhedrin has given the okay to build the altar that will be in the upcoming temple and to bless it and to begin offering animal sacrifices on it in anticipation of building the temple!

                Israel has sent out invitations to 70 nations to join them in blessing the altar. It will be made of stones and even though the details were not given, I would guess that the altar will be built using 12 uncut stones and that it will have a ramp leading up to it rather than steps, but that is only a guess. I do know that in Exodus 20:25, 26 God instructed them saying:

                “And if you make an altar of stone for Me, you shall not build it of cut stones, for if you wield your tool on it, you will profane it. And you shall not go up by steps to My altar, that your nakedness may not be exposed on it.”( Wielding a tool on the stones represents man made religion.)

                All I can say is that if there are to be 12 stones, they must be very large stones if they need a ramp to go up to it. I once built an altar of uncut stones (about 15 years ago) along the creek that ran through our back yard. My son Zach and I stood before the altar and offered ourselves in covenant to God, based of course on the blood of the True Lamb of God and not upon the blood of an animal. My altar of 12 stones stood less than two feet tall. In many ways it seemed insignificant and yet I believe that God has guided both of our lives and propelled us by His Holy Spirit to seek Him with all of our hearts.

                I wish that I only had good news to offer concerning this altar that they are about to build as well as the temple that I believe will soon follow. This is to the reason why I believe that God has placed Donald Trump into office for purposes both good and evil. They are good because they fulfill many Bible prophecies that must take place in these last days. They are evil, because all of this is being set up to fulfill prophecies concerning the antichrist and not Jesus Christ.

                That we have supported Israel in making Jerusalem its capital is a good thing, for as we know from Psalm 48:1, 2 Mount Zion will forever be known as the City of the Great King, for “God, in her palaces has made Himself known as a stronghold.” Verse 3 and in verse 8 it says:

                “As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the Lord of hosts, in the city of our God; God will establish her forever.” Ps. 48:8

                We also know that in these last days Jerusalem will in trouble. It says in Zech. 12:2, 3

                “Behold I am going to make Jerusalem a cup that causes reeling to all peoples around; and when the siege is against Jerusalem it will also be against Judah. And it will come about in that day that I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all peoples; all who lift it will be severely injured and all nations will be gathered against it.

                Now if we think that this is talking about some event in the distant past, guess again. This very chapter goes on to say several significant things about these end times:

1.       The Lord will also save the tents of Judah first in order that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem may not be magnified above Judah.”  Zech. 12: 7. In other words God is going to bring the Jews back into the land first and that is exactly what has happened. Also those who have thought to take over Jerusalem will not ultimately gain control of that city. God will make sure of that.

2.       Verses 8 and 9 tell us that God Himself will defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem and that He will set about to destroy all the nations that come against her. In other words we get the feeling that there is major trouble ahead for Israel. Perhaps this bold move to establish the altar and the temple will cause the nations to rise up against her rather than to bless her. This could be tied in with either the Psalm 83 coalition war, or the Gog/Magog war in which God Himself steps in and destroys all but one sixth of the armies.

3.       But now God irrefutably places these events as end time events for it says in verse 10: “And they will look upon Me whom they have pierced and they will mourn for Him as one mourns for an only son.” This text is repeated in Revelation 1:7 saying: “Behold He is coming with the clouds and every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him and all the tribes of the earth will mourn over Him. Even so Amen.

                So what we are witnessing in Israel and in Jerusalem right now are end time events and not only these, but Donald Trump and Jared Kushner and associates have been working on a covenant with the many as spoken of in Daniel 9:26, 27. When that covenant is ratified, or confirmed it will be confirmed by the antichrist and that very act will start the time clock on the final 7 years of earth history, 3 ½ of which will be the great tribulation. (Or Time of Jacob’s Trouble)

                Friends, for all of my life I have studied these end time prophecies with no clue as to how such radical events could ever take place in our world. How could an antichrist rise who would rule the whole world? How would he ever be worshipped and wondered after by the entire world? How would he ever be able to gain control of global finances so as to enforce the mark of the beast? How is it that a strong and powerful nation like America would ever surrender to global governance? How would even so called Protestant Christian denominations rejoin the Pope in his one world religion? In other words, how could the situation be so dramatically changed that even fundamental Christians would consider merging all of the religions of the world together thus making Jesus just one of the gods?

                These things have seemed absolutely impossible and yet every one of these things has happened or is in the process of happening right now AND YET THE CHURCH SLEEPS ON!

                WE ARE NOT WAITING FOR THE LAST DAYS TO HAPPEN… WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE last days… and all we can ask ourselves right now is if there will be even fifty percent of the church that is made up of wise virgins whose lamps are filled with oil, who are ready as a Bride adorned for her Husband?

                Our church is praying for revival right now and not for just any revival, but for the revival that will bring in the final harvest. I feel so fortunate to be in a church whose pastoral staff understands the times enough to cry out to God and to warn the people to repent and to turn fully to the Lord.

                Many churches remain unaware simply because they do not see Israel as God’s time piece. Whatever happens spiritually in the world is first happens  in Israel physically as a pattern, a type and a shadow. This pattern setting has never changed and so if we want to understand what is taking place in our world we need to understand the patterns of end time events as established first of all in the Old Covenant. We need to understand the appointed times of the Lord. (The Moedim) We need to be able to put together all of the disparate pieces  from both Old Testament and New Testament sources so that our end time picture will be complete.

                The prophets of old spoke more about our day than they did about their own day. They may not have understood this in many cases and yet in other cases they seemed obsessed with the Day of the Lord and the final consummation of all things in a calamitous conflagration. It would end with the coming of the Messiah. And then and only then will they understand that He is not coming, but returning.

                Meanwhile, end time prophecies are being fulfilled with lightning speed              and unfortunately the antichrist is going to take over. He will commit the ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION, JUST AS Jesus said in Mt. 24:15. He will stride into the Holy Place of the rebuilt temple and he will claim to be God and he will demand the worship of the entire world.

                We know that during the millennial reign of Christ Jerusalem will be known as the city of the Great King and it will become a house of prayer for all nations. This WILL happen, but as for right now, the global system of the beast is seeking to preempt this coming kingdom of Christ by faking a millennial kingdom of their own. This is the kingdom that will enforce the Mark of the Beast and they WILL gain control of the nations and even over God’s people for a short time.

                They will erect an image to the beast and they will give breath to the image and power to speak so that it will cause as many as do not worship the image of the beast to be killed. His control will be of a financial sort and a spiritual sort as all of earth’s inhabitants are forced into this global religion of the Beast. But identification technologies and bio chip implants of one form or another will undoubtedly play a role I tracking us and controlling us on a global scale.

                The descriptions of this image are sort of strange. It is an image, but it is given life and breath and made to speak and it will control the finances of the world so as to enforce the worship of the Beast. What could this be? Well, they are now developing artificially intelligent robotic computers and they are creating interfaces between man and machine through transhumanism. Likewise, through places like CERN they are seeking to interface with intelligences  from another dimension. Even now they claim that many of the questions they ask of the computer are being answered from a different dimension. Of such things will the great delusions be made as perhaps alien beings pretend to be our creators.

                What will possibly make such an absurd thing credible is that science will grab onto it as the perfect alternative to the theory of Evolution. They have never been able to prove evolution apart from intelligent design and so they will grab at Satan’s claims rather than those of the Word of God.

                This is spooky stuff, but it should come as no surprise to Bible Students for we are told in Revelation 13:2b: “And the dragon gave him his power and his throne and great authority.”

                This should be no surprise now either since the entire globalist cabal is Luciferian including the Vatican. This global kingdom is being set up for Satan and not for Jesus Christ and unfortunately many Christian denominations and organizations are signing up for it and making their pilgrimage to Rome to declare their solidarity with the Pope in his coming global religion.

                Can I make this any clearer? Am I deluded? Am I off base, or am I telling the truth?  We are the last generation. We are those who have been destined to live through earth’s final events. To do this we need an uncommon anointing of power and understanding from God. We need a new form of revival, greater than Pentecost. We need the final revival known as the Tabernacles revival. It is the harvest revival said to be like the latter rain in Israel… seven times greater than the early rain for they will come together, the early and the latter rain together for the harvest.

                In this revival the Lord will seek to dwell in us in a more direct and powerful way. He will purge us and purify us like silver and like gold. He will separate the chaff from our lives. And just as Jesus cleansed the temple once at the beginning of His ministry and again at the end of His ministry, He is going to come to His threshing floor with a Refiner’s fire, to separate wheat from tares and barley from its chaff… and He will bundle up the tares to be burned and the wheat He will gather into His barns. Mt. 13:24-30.

                In this final move, Laodicea has tough choices to make, for there will be no lukewarm Christians in His kingdom. Even now we see this great separation, this falling away taking place that will make way for the antichrist to arrive.  2Thess. 2:4. Which side are you on? Which highway are you following? Are you on the “Christian” train called “Easy Street?” or are you on the straight and narrow… allowing the Lord to discipline you as a son or daughter to reign with Him in His coming kingdom?
