Prophecy Update #796 – Face Finger

We reserve a few minutes to discuss current trends that you’d expect from reading Bible prophecy.

We are futurists. We interpret all unfulfilled prophetic passages as future events that will occur in a literal, physical, apocalyptic, and global context.

Biometrics, Artificial Intelligence, cashless commerce, the manipulation of human DNA, global government, instantaneous global communication, and the exponential growth of human knowledge, and the movement to rebuild a Temple on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. These are predicted in the Bible and unfolding as never before.

Technological advances interest us because the Book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ predicts global government whose economy and services will be accessed by a personal identifier. This identifier, on the forehead or hand, will be necessary for a citizen to purchase anything, and to participate in society.

Once considered fanciful – that system could be implemented right now.

Just when I thought we had covered everything biometric, I discovered something called UID. It stands for Unique Identity Number and is utilized in India.

It is a 12-digit unique identity number that can be obtained voluntarily by all residents of India, based on their biometrics (10 finger prints, 2 iris prints and photo of face) and demographic data. The data is collected by the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI).

It is the world’s largest biometric ID system. World Bank Chief Economist Paul Romer described it as “the most sophisticated ID program in the world.”

If you receive Social Security and have recently tried to log-in to the website, you’ve discovered that they are requiring you to get either ID.Me or LogIn.gov.

I’m not saying UID or ID.Me or LogIn.gov is the Mark of the Beast. It is amazing that the Bible predicted a forehead/hand system of global commerce, and we have the tech to do it.

We live in the Church Age. It began on the day of Pentecost fifty days after Jesus Christ rose from the dead. It precedes the Time of Jacob’s Trouble, more commonly known as the seven-year Great Tribulation.

The Tribulation will not begin until something fantastic happens. The Lord said He would return for us, the Church, raising the dead in Christ, then catching up (rapturing) believers who are alive when He comes. He promised His Church Age believers, “I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth” (Revelation 3:10).

The resurrection and rapture of the church is always imminent. It could happen any moment; nothing needs to happen before it.

Are you ready for the rapture? If not, Get ready; Stay ready; Keep looking up.

Ready or not, Jesus is coming!

Prophecy Update #795 – Soul Wars

We reserve a few minutes to discuss current trends that you’d expect from reading Bible prophecy.

We are futurists. We interpret all unfulfilled prophetic passages as future events that will occur in a literal, physical, apocalyptic, and global context.

Biometrics, Artificial Intelligence, cashless commerce, the manipulation of human DNA, global government, instantaneous global communication, and the exponential growth of human knowledge, are End Times phenomena the Bible predicts.

All of these are increasingly trending in the news.

By far the major subject in Bible prophecy is the nation of Israel.

• The Bible accurately predicted that the nation would be scattered all over the world.
• It accurately predicted that the Jews would be regathered to their homeland.
• It predicted Israel would be “born in a day,” which it was on May 14, 1948.
• It predicted Jerusalem would be a burden upon all the nations of the world, and it has been for 76yrs.
• Jesus told His followers there would constantly be wars & rumors of wars.

As Israel fights Hamas, Hezbollah, and eventually Iran, there is an intensifying supernatural war… for souls.

Journalist Michael Faust of crosswalk.com posted an article titled, 200 Muslims in Gaza Reportedly Accept Christ after Seeing Him in ‘Visions and Dreams.’

Taysir Saada, a Muslim-turned-Christian who authored the book Once an Arafat Man, recounted the incredible story in an interview with CBN, saying he believes God is on the move in Gaza amidst war with Israel. Saada once was an aide to Palestinian leader Yassir Arafat. Saada also was a sniper for the PLO (Palestine Liberation Organization).

“About 200 Gazans gave their heart to Jesus in one lump sum because the Lord appeared to them in visions and dreams and they were hugging each other and, you know, rejoicing and realized that all of them had the same vision that each one of them had,” Saada told CBN.^[1]

Joel Rosenberg is a trustworthy resource. He reports that millions of Iranian Muslims are converting to Christianity.

The Middle East is not the only front in the spiritual war. There are counter-attacks. A Morocco World News headline read, Rate of Islam Conversion in Europe Up 400% Since Start of Israel’s Massacres on Gaza.

Researchers predict Muslims will become the majority in Sweden, France, and Greece within a century from now, with other European countries following suit by 2200.^[2]

Studies estimate about 30,000 converting to Islam annually in the United States. According to The New York Times, an estimated 25% of American Muslims are converts.

We live in the Church Age. It began on the day of Pentecost fifty days after Jesus Christ rose from the dead. It precedes the Time of Jacob’s Trouble, more commonly known as the seven-year Great Tribulation.

The Tribulation will not begin until something fantastic happens. The Lord said He would return for us, the Church, raising the dead in Christ, then catching up (rapturing) believers who are alive when He comes.

Prophecy Update #794 – This Mount Is My Mount

October 7, 2023. Hamas massacred Israeli’s in a bold sneak attack.

October 9, 2023. Israel declared war on Hamas.

None of the major news outlets understand the true cause of the fighting.

Ismail Haniyeh is the political leader of the Hamas terrorists. In May of 2021 Hamas launched rockets in retaliation for Israeli security forces entering the Al Aqsa Mosque after Palestinians threw stones and other objects at them. Hamas opposes any changes to the status quo at Jerusalem’s Temple Mount. One article noted. “The compound, which sits atop the Old City plateau known to Muslims as al-Haram al-Sharif, or The Noble Sanctuary, and to Jews as Temple Mount, is the most sensitive site in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

The current war was started by Hamas in response to the arrival of the red heifers. These exceedingly rare animals are needed to establish worship on the Temple Mount. In January, 2024, a Hamas spokesman specifically identified the red heifers as proof Israel would soon try to destroy the Mosque & other Islamic buildings.

Control of the Temple Mount must always be kept in mind when discussing these conflicts and wars. The Jews want to build their Temple. The Arabs believe the site to be theirs, and that Israel has plans to destroy their mosques & buildings.

We find this more than interesting because a Temple will exist in Jerusalem during the Great Tribulation. In fact, a critical moment in the Tribulation must happen in the holy place of the Temple.

• Daniel prophesied about it in the 6^th century BC.
• Jesus acknowledged Daniel’s prophecy in the first century AD.

We live in the Church Age. It began on the day of Pentecost fifty days after Jesus Christ rose from the dead. It precedes the Time of Jacob’s Trouble, more commonly known as the seven-year Great Tribulation.

The Tribulation will not begin until something fantastic happens.

He promised His Church Age believers, “I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth” (Revelation 3:10).

Prophecy Update #793 – @TextWithJesus

You can text with ‘Jesus.’

The developers say, “Discover a new, interactive way to engage with your faith through Text With Jesus, a revolutionary AI-powered chatbot app, designed for devoted Christians seeking a deeper connection with the Bible’s most iconic figures.

The app is pre-loaded with a wide range of biblical figures, including the Holy Family, the Apostles, and more. We’re constantly adding new figures, so stay tuned!

Two of the FAQ’s:

1. Am I really talking to Jesus? Isn’t this blasphemous? Our app is a tool for exploration, education, and engagement with biblical narratives, and it is not intended to replace or mimic direct communication with divine entities, which is a deeply personal aspect of one’s faith. The AI-powered app does not claim to provide actual divine insights or possess any form of divine consciousness, but simply uses its language model to generate responses based on a wide corpus of biblical and religious texts. The purpose of the app is to stimulate reflection, deepen understanding of religious texts, and encourage meaningful conversations about faith.
2. Can I really chat with Satan? Satan is included in the app to provide a comprehensive understanding of biblical narratives, reflecting the character’s role as described in the Bible. However, interaction with Satan is turned off by default and must be manually enabled by the user if they choose to engage with this figure. The portrayal is rooted in Christian teachings, and users have full control over their engagement with all figures within the app.

Anthony Levandowski is an AI pioneer. He launched an AI religion, called Way of the Future. “For the last 4 billion years we’ve had organic lifeforms, [but] now, for the first time things are changing and we’re going to have inorganic life forms,” Levandowski told Bloomberg. “We don’t know what [these inorganic life forms] are going to be, [but] we’re going to fuse it with all these magical powers, and we want it to give us things.”

Levandowski believes that AI can bring “Heaven on Earth.” He says, “Here, we’re actually creating things they can see, be everywhere and maybe help us and guide us in a way normally you would call God.”

BTW This is idolatry; be aware & beware.

In our Weekly Updates, we have connected AI with what is called in the Revelation, the Image of the Beast. It is something inanimate that is given “breath” so “that the Image of the Beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the Image of the Beast to be killed.” It might be what defiles the Tribulation Temple. It’s easy to see how most of the global population will go along with it.

Especially if they are already texting religious characters that seem alive thanks to AI.

Is AI the thing that will power the Image? We’re not saying that – only that it certainly could.

We live in the Church Age. It began on the day of Pentecost fifty days after Jesus Christ rose from the dead. It precedes the Time of Jacob’s Trouble, more commonly known as the seven-year Great Tribulation.

The Tribulation will not begin until something fantastic happens. The Lord said He would return for us, the Church, raising the dead in Christ, then catching up (rapturing) believers who are alive when He comes. He promised His Church Age believers, “I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth” (Revelation 3:10).

Prophecy Update #792 – Right Before Your Very Eyes

Prophecy accounts for 25% of the Bible. That’s a lot, and it is why we reserve a  few minutes to discuss current trends that you’d expect from reading Bible prophecy.

Much of it has been fulfilled, but there remain significant End Times predictions. For example, the Book of the Revelation is entirely a future prophecy from chapter four through the end.

Biometrics, Artificial Intelligence, cashless commerce, the manipulation of human DNA, global government, the exponential growth of human knowledge, and instantaneous communication are the major topics that we monitor.

The most significant prophetic topic is the nation of Israel.

Thinking about Israel and the future, we have seen, and we are seeing, prophecy being fulfilled as we say, ‘right before our very eyes.’

The word diaspora was coined to describe the migration of the Jews coming out of the Babylonian captivity. Since that initial dispersion, the Jewish people have faced many more upheavals and resettlements from the times of the Persians, the Greeks, the Romans, and during World War II (at the hands of Hitler).

Regarding the diaspora, Jeremiah prophesied, “As the Lord lives who brought up the people of Israel out of the north country and out of all the countries where he had driven them. For I will bring them back to their own land that I gave to their fathers. Behold, I am sending for many fishers, declares the Lord, and they shall catch them. And afterward I will send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain and every hill, and out of the clefts of the rocks” (Jeremiah 16).

Over 2,800 years ago, the prophet Ezekiel spoke these words about Israel:

“I will take you from the nations and gather you from all the countries and bring you into your own land” (36:24).

The first part of that was fulfilled on May 14, 1948. Isaiah made this wild claim: “Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen such things? Shall the earth be made to give birth in one day? Or shall a nation be born at once? For as soon as Zion was in labor, She gave birth to her children” (66:8).

One day the Holy Land was under British control. The next day, they were a sovereign nation.

In Zechariah 12:3-4, God declares: “I will make Jerusalem like an intoxicating drink that makes the nearby nations stagger when they send their armies to besiege Jerusalem and Judah. On that day I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock. All the nations will gather against it to try to move it, but they will only hurt themselves.”

BTW, we support Israel. In May, Israel’s ambassador to the US, said this: “The hateful rhetoric spewed by public figures, the targeting of students on college campuses, and the outright attacks on Jewish persons and institutions across the country are expressions of a centuries-old hatred that has long sought to tear us down. The newest form of this ancient hatred has taken aim not only at the Jewish individual or the Jewish people, but also at the Jewish state, implying it has no right to exist. It is one thing to criticize certain Israeli policies. It is something totally different to question the very legitimacy of the Jewish State.”

These are remarkable, centuries old fulfilled prophecies.

We live in the Church Age. It began on the day of Pentecost fifty days after Jesus Christ rose from the dead. It precedes the Time of Jacob’s Trouble, more commonly known as the seven-year Great Tribulation.

The Tribulation will not begin until something fantastic happens. The Lord said He would return for us, the Church, raising the dead in Christ, then catching up (rapturing) believers who are alive when He comes. He promised His Church Age believers, “I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth” (Revelation 3:10).

The resurrection and rapture of the church is always imminent. It could happen any moment; nothing needs to happen before it. Are you ready for the rapture? If not, Get ready; Stay ready; Keep looking up.

Ready or not, Jesus is coming!

Prophecy Update #791 – Gait-Way

We reserve a few minutes to discuss current trends that you’d expect from reading Bible prophecy.

We are futurists. We interpret all unfulfilled prophetic passages as future events that will occur in a literal, physical, apocalyptic, and global context.

Biometrics, Artificial Intelligence, cashless commerce, the manipulation of human DNA, global government, the exponential growth of human knowledge, instantaneous communication, and the rebirth of national Israel are End Times phenomena the Bible predicts.

Taken together, the prophecies we most discuss are those that predict global government that features a cashless, global economy, that is accessed by a biometric identifier. During the future 7yr Great Tribulation, the world leader we call the antichrist will control every aspect of the lives of his citizens.

I came across an advance in biometrics. It’s called, Behavioral Biometrics.

“Behavioral biometrics measures and uniquely distinguishes patterns in the behavior of device users. These are habits and proclivities humans develop over time, given their interactions with different devices. The related techniques used to capture and evaluate biometric behaviors can be extremely effective in evaluating whether the correct individual is logging into an account, or whether the individual’s behavior is consistent with that person’s normal patterns as opposed to those of a fraudster.”

It monitors phone movement, keyboard behavior, touchscreen behavior, and mouse behavior, to determine your behavioral profile. Your gestures & your gait, too, can be profiled.

Bulgaria is going fully biometric in developing access control systems for mass gatherings. No tickets or wristbands; just scans biometric info as you approach a door or an entrance. It’s the future.

I’m not saying that behavioral biometrics is, or will be part of, the Mark of the Beast. I am saying that things you would expect from reading the Bible are developing right before our eyes. The stage is being set for the Great Tribulation.

In His incarnation, Jesus proclaimed that the kingdom promised Israel had come. When the Jewish leadership rejected Jesus as their King, Jesus went to Heaven. The physical kingdom on Earth went on standby.

We live in the Church Age. It began on the day of Pentecost fifty days after Jesus Christ rose from the dead. It precedes the Time of Jacob’s Trouble, more commonly known as the seven-year Great Tribulation.

The Tribulation will not begin until something fantastic happens. The Lord said He would return for us, the Church, raising the dead in Christ, then catching up, rapturing, believers who are alive when He comes. He promised His Church Age believers, “I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth” (Rev 3:10).

The resurrection and rapture of the church is always imminent. It could happen any moment; nothing needs to happen before it.

Are you ready for the rapture? If not, Get ready; Stay ready; Keep looking up.

Ready or not, Jesus is coming!

Prophecy Update #790 – Every Keystroke You Make, I’ll Be Watching You

The Bible is estimated to be 25%-35% prophecy. It’s very specific prophecies have thus far been 100% accurate.

There is much Bible prophecy that is yet unfulfilled. For example, beginning in chapter four, everything in the Book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ is future to us. That is why we are called futurists. We believe that these yet-to-be-fulfilled prophecies will be fulfilled in a physical, literal, global, apocalyptic context.

It makes sense that the world would be moving in the direction that the prophecies predict. Biometrics, Artificial Intelligence, cashless commerce, the manipulation of human DNA, global government, the exponential growth of human knowledge, and the rebirth of national Israel are End Times phenomena the Bible predicts. All of these are increasingly trending in the news.

1. We are careful to use recognized, reliable sources for news. Sensationalism about the future is detrimental.
2. We’re not saying the things we report are the fulfillment of prophecy. We’re saying that they are the things you’d expect to be happening in the build-up to the future Great Tribulation.

Just about anyone who studies Bible prophecy agrees that the reign of the antichrist will be a nightmarish surveillance state. Privacy will be a casualty.

Along those lines, I came across an article titled, Microsoft Is Giving Windows a Memory and It Might Change Everything.

Excerpts:

Microsoft has tried multiple times to make interacting with artificial intelligence an essential part of using Windows, but Recall, a new memory-focused feature it announced alongside its new Copilot+ PCs might be the first time it could actually stick.

This turns your computer, not just into a place where you deliberately store things, but a memory for everything you’ve done and will do on it.^[1]

It works by taking continuous screen shots.

CEO Satya Nadella said, “We’re entering this new era where computers not only understand us, but can actually anticipate what we want and our intent.”

How many dystopian SyFy stories involve predictive behavior? The authorities acting upon what you will do according to some algorithm? It is very Last Days.

In His incarnation, Jesus proclaimed that the kingdom promised Israel had come. When the Jewish leadership rejected Jesus as their King, Jesus went to Heaven. The physical kingdom on earth went on standby.

Prophecy Update #789 – Ballot Bot

2. We’re not saying the things we report are the fulfillment of prophecy. We’re saying that they are the things you’d expect to be happening in the build-up to the future Great Tribulation.

In the Revelation of Jesus Christ, in the future, we read about a fascinating and terrifying “image.” A man we call the False Prophet oversees the making of this “image,” which by its description seems to possess sentient life.

“[The False Prophet] causes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship [the Antichrist], whose deadly wound was healed. He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men. [He tells] those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the [Antichrist]… He was granted power to give breath to the image… that the image… should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image… to be killed.”

What could animate this “image,” rendering it sentient and deadly? Artificial Intelligence.

I was sent an article this week titled, AI candidate running for Parliament in the U.K. says AI can humanize politics.

Excerpts:

An artificial intelligence candidate is on the ballot for the United Kingdom’s general election next month.

“AI Steve,” represented by Sussex businessman Steve Endacott, will appear on the ballot alongside non-AI candidates running to represent constituents in the Brighton Pavilion area of Brighton and Hove, a city on England’s southern coast.

Endacott is the chairman of Neural Voice, a company that creates personalized voice assistants for businesses in the form of an AI avatar.

He said the idea is to use AI to create a politician who is always around to talk with constituents and who can take their views into consideration.^[1]

Another source reported that AI Steve can chat with 10,000 people at once.

Will AI power the image? We’re not saying that. We are simply pointing out trends you’d expect from your reading of prophecy.

In His incarnation, Jesus proclaimed that the kingdom promised Israel had come. When the Jewish leadership rejected Jesus as their King, Jesus went to Heaven. The physical kingdom on earth went on standby.

We live in the Church Age. It began on the day of Pentecost fifty days after Jesus Christ rose from the dead. It precedes the Time of Jacob’s Trouble, more commonly known as the seven-year Great Tribulation.

The Tribulation will not begin until something fantastic happens.

He promised His Church Age believers, “I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth” (Rev 3:10).

The resurrection and rapture of the church is always imminent. It could happen any moment; nothing needs to happen before it.

Prophecy Update #788 – Bunker Or Bust

Has anyone counted the number of prophecies in the Bible?

J. Barton Payne’s Encyclopedia of Biblical Prophecy lists 1239 prophecies in the Old Testament and 578 prophecies in the New Testament, for a total of 1817.

How many remain to be fulfilled? It is estimated between 300 – 500. For example, we consider the Book of the Revelation as future prophecy from chapter four to the end.

We shouldn’t have to point out that, since the Bible is over 25% prophecy, we ought to be looking hard at what is coming.

I came across an article titled, The latest billionaire trend? Doomsday bunkers with a flammable moat.

Here are excerpts:

As you have probably noticed bunkers have become the ultimate status symbol among the 1%. Look, for example, at Mark Zuckerberg… [He] has been constructing a 5000-sq-ft underground shelter on his 1400-acre compound in Hawaii… The compound will be completely self-sufficient with its own food and water supplies. The price tag for the entire project is over $270m.^[1]

The founder of Facebook isn’t the only billionaire building gigantic compounds in Hawaii:

• Oprah Winfrey purchased a 163-acre estate in Maui back in 2002, and has bought further plots of land since then.
• Larry Ellison, the co-founder of tech company Oracle, purchased almost all of the Hawaiian island Lanai in 2012.
• Two years ago, the billionaire Frank VanderSloot purchased a 2,000 acre ranch just south of Zuckerberg’s.

Why is this trend interesting? In the Revelation we read,

Rev 6:15  And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains,

Rev 6:16  and said to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb!

While you consider that, another article I read suggested something else. “These tycoons might seem to be “prepping” for a familiar 20th-century style apocalypse, but they’re not. They are seeking to create entirely self-sustaining ecosystems, in which land, agriculture, the built environment and labor are all controlled and managed by a single person, who has more in common with a medieval-era feudal lord than a 21st-century capitalist.”

Students of Bible prophecy have long pointed to Revelation 6:6, “And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, ‘A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not harm the oil and the wine,’ ” as a prediction that famine will drive common people to become enslaved to the rich.

Are these bunkers and compounds the fulfillment of one or both prophesies?? We’re not saying that. We can’t say that. We can say that this a trend we expect from a plain, literal reading of the Bible.

There is a lot of stage-setting going on in terms of the Bible’s prophecies. Things like global government, global commerce, a personal ‘mark,’ social credit, apostasy in the church, the exponential growth of human knowledge, the elimination of cash, etc.

Most significantly, the Bible predicted that the nation of Israel would be born in a day, that Jews would return there from their dispersion all over the Earth, and that Jerusalem would be at the very heart of global tension until every nation stands against her & God intervenes to save her.

The unfulfilled prophecies in the Bible will be fulfilled to the letter. We are most definitely seeing the stage being set for the 2^nd Coming of Jesus.

Jesus promised to resurrect & rapture His Church. He said, in fact He promised, that He would do it before His Second Coming, and before a time of Great Tribulation would come upon the whole Earth.^[2]

The resurrection and rapture of the church is presented as an imminent event. It could happen anytime. Right now, for example.

Are you ready for the rapture? If not, get ready, stay ready, and keep looking up.

Ready or not Jesus is coming! 

Prophecy Update #787 – Curses, Foiled Again

“You will not escape the wrath of Allah.”

On December 12^th 2023, moments after cursing Israel with those words in a session of the Turkish Parliament, Minister Hasan Bitmez collapsed. He died two days later.

“If Israel makes another mistake and attacks Iranian soil… it is uncertain if anything will remain of that country.”

Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi made that remark on April 23^rd of this year. It was the first day of the Jewish Feast of Passover. On May 19^th, President Raisi, the Foreign Minister, and six other passengers and crew died in a helicopter crash. Two other helicopters landed safely.

Are you thinking what I’m thinking? These are likely biblical judgments upon those who cursed Israel.

The Bible accurately predicted that the nation of Israel would be born in a day; that Jews would return there from their dispersion all over the Earth; and that Jerusalem would be the epicenter of geopolitical tension

The prophet Jeremiah talks about Iran attacking Israel and suffering defeat. ^[1] Identifying coastal Iran by an ancient name, Elam, he writes, “For I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies And before those who seek their life. I will bring disaster upon them, My fierce anger,” says the LORD; “And I will send the sword after them Until I have consumed them” (49:37). We can’t say when, but this will happen.

The Book of Enoch is unnecessarily controversial. The book itself includes a passage indicating it is not Scripture. It is, however, a true pre-flood history & post-flood prophecy.

Tradition teaches that Enoch passed his book and other books to Noah, who preserved them in the Ark. Noah then passed Enoch’s book on to Shem, who preserved it in the city of Salem. Eventually it was passed down to the tribe of Levi for safe keeping. It was then preserved up to the time the Essenes buried it, along with other ancient texts, to be found in the 20^th century among the Dead Sea Scrolls.^[2]

In chapter 55 of Enoch he talks about certain wicked angels who were incarcerated. In chapter 56 Enoch writes, “And in those days the angels will return and come to the kings of the east along with the Medes and Persians [Iran]. They will stir up these kings, so that a spirit of unrest will come over them, and they will rouse them from their thrones, that they may break forth as lions from their lairs, and as hungry wolves among their flocks. They will go up and tread underfoot the land of His elect ones [Israel] and the land of His elect ones will be before them a threshing-floor [Temple Mount] and a highway. But the city of my righteous [Jerusalem] will be a hindrance to their horses, and they will begin to fight among themselves. And their right hand will be strong against themselves, and a man will not know his brother, nor a son his father or his mother, till there be no number of their corpses through their own slaughter their punishment will not be in vain. In those days the mouth of Sheol will open, and they will be swallowed up in it. Sheol will devour and destroy the sinners in the presence of the elect” (56:5-8).

Is Iran currently being roused by these wicked angels? It would explain a lot!

We are most definitely seeing the stage being set for the 2^nd Coming of Jesus.

Jesus promised to resurrect & rapture His Church. He said, in fact He promised, that He would do it before His Second Coming, and before a time of Great Tribulation would come upon the whole Earth.^[3]

The resurrection and rapture of the church is presented as an imminent event. It could happen anytime. Right now, for example.

Are you ready for the rapture? If not, get ready, stay ready, and keep looking up.

Ready or not Jesus is coming!
