Sleepless Over ISRAEL

Luke 21:20-22

King James Version

20 And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, 

then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.

21 Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; 

and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; 

and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.

22 For these be the days of vengeance, 

that all things which are written may be fulfilled.

A very strange thing happened just now.

I was awakened from my sleep by seemingly many articles I wrote about Israel.

A WHOLE list of them.

Sure, I've written a few, from a blog I created honoring God's chosen nation.

I had barely slept two hours when God bombarded my mind with a host of articles on Israel, as if I'd written all those.

Then I remembered a very short video presented by Greg Laurie I listened to yesterday afternoon.

So, I listened to it all over again.

In a little over eight minutes, pastor Laurie was able to share all the relevant verses on the end times regarding Israel, and of her great importance to the world, especially to America, who seems to be vacillating in her faithfulness to this besieged nation.

He was also able to share brief, but important geographic information about Israel, which spoke of the tiny nation, and its power.

Pretty much like a David, to the Goliath of nations surrounding her, and threatening her all over the world.

This sleeplessness over Israel, reminds me of when God first pointed me to Dr. David R. Reagan's videos on rebellious America -- the videos that led me to being born again over 20 months ago -- for the UTMOST urgency of the times.

It's happening all over again.

I became born again months before the 2019 covid crisis.

Now, I'm being ALERTED to the urgency of Israel's plight, and the world's plight -- even with the so-called "ceasefire" put upon Israel from the recent 11-day battle with Gaza.

Maybe ESPECIALLY because of the so-called ceasefire, the details and intentions of which, only the involved parties would know -- and GOD, of course.

A lot can happen in the midst of seeming silence.

Now that others have tested Israel's capability, we can just imagine what they've planned for her -- when they band against her.

Click this link to listen to Amir Tsarfati's concerned video regarding that ceasefire.

God has alerted me to something and we must pay very close attention to what other nations are plotting over Israel, and pray for her safety, and that more Jews would become born again.

What happens to Israel affects ALL nations.

The Lord Jesus did say:

Matthew 24:32-34

King James Version

32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; 

When his branch is yet tender, 

and putteth forth leaves, 

ye know that summer is nigh:

33 So likewise ye, 

when ye shall see all these things, 

know that it is near,

 even at the doors.

34 Verily I say unto you, 

This generation shall not pass, 

till all these things be fulfilled.

The return of Jesus for His faithful may come any moment God chooses.

Especially if we hurt the apple of His eye.

In my path as born again, the Holy Spirit -- my teacher on Jesus, and everything God -- was particular I focus on the imminence of the Rapture.

Would we be ready when Jesus descends from heaven, to have His faithful meet Him up in the air?

What are other nations up to?

Only they know, and God definitely knows.

At a time of His own choosing, He will act.

As the LORD JESUS said:

Matthew 13:41-42

King James Version

41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, 

and they shall gather out of his kingdom 

all things that offend, 

and them which do iniquity;

42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: 

there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

And for His faithful?

Matthew 13:43

King James Version

43 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun 

in the kingdom of their Father. 

Who hath ears to hear, 

let him hear.

The LORD's on to something.

And I sure am paying attention.

EVERY moment.

That's all we have.

Moments.

Spirit of the antichrist

 

1 John 2:18

King James Version

18 Little children, 

it is the last time: 

and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, 

even now are there many antichrists; 

whereby we know that it is the last time.

Who is the antichrist?

What is he?

What is the spirit of the antichrist?

Scripture reveals him in these verses:

1 John 2:22

King James Version

22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? 

He is antichrist, 

that denieth the Father and the Son.

1 John 4:3

King James Version

3 And every spirit that confesseth not 

that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh 

is not of God: 

and this is that spirit of antichrist, 

whereof ye have heard that it should come; 

and even now already is it in the world.

2 John 7

King James Version

7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, 

who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. 

This is a deceiver and an antichrist.

Daniel 7:25

King James Version

25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, 

and shall wear out the saints of the most High, 

and think to change times and laws: 

and they shall be given into his hand 

until a time and times and the dividing of time.

Daniel 11:21

King James Version

21 And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, 

to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: 

but he shall come in peaceably, 

and obtain the kingdom by flatteries.

2 Thessalonians 2:4

King James Version

4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself 

above all that is called God, 

or that is worshipped; 

so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, 

shewing himself that he is God.

Revelation 13:5

King James Version

5 And there was given unto him a mouth 

speaking great things and blasphemies; 

and power was given unto him 

to continue forty and two months.

Daniel 11:36

King James Version

36 And the king shall do according to his will; 

and he shall exalt himself, 

and magnify himself above every god, 

and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, 

and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: 

for that that is determined shall be done.

But worry not.

His time is limited.

He is given authority, according to God's plan.

As such, his end is also determined by God.

2 Thessalonians 2:8

King James Version

8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, 

whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, 

and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:

In summary, here are the antichrist's revealing traits, and future:

1. He denies Jesus is the Christ.

2. He denies the Father and the Son.

3. He doesn't confess Jesus came in the flesh.

4. He will speak great words against the most High.

5. He will wear out the saints of the most High.

6. He will change times and laws.

7. He is a vile person.

8. He will come in the guise of peace.

9. He will obtain the kingdom through flattery.

10. He will oppose and exalt above everything that is God.

11. He will sit in the temple of God, as if he was God.

12. He will show himself that he is God.

13. He will be given a mouth to speak of great things and blasphemies.

14. He will be given power to continue 42 months.

15. He shall exalt, and magnify himself, over every god.

16. He will speak marvelous things against the God of gods.

17. He shall prosper for a time.

18. He will be revealed by the Holy Spirit of God.

19. He shall be consumed by the spirit of God.

20. He will be destroyed by the brightness of the Lord's coming.

Be awake.

Be aware.

Be warned.

Remain closest to JESUS.

WHEN Will the COMING of JESUS Be?

 

Matthew 24:32-33

King James Version

32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; 

When his branch is yet tender, 

and putteth forth leaves, 

ye know that summer is nigh:

33 So likewise ye, 

when ye shall see all these things, 

know that it is near, 

even at the doors.

When will the LORD JESUS have His faithful meet Him up in the air, in our changed bodies?

The times, or the seasons, no one knows, according to Scripture.

Acts 1:7

King James Version

7 And he said unto them, 

It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, 

which the Father hath put in his own power.

But the Lord Jesus -- through His words in Matthew 24 -- gave many clues.

Matthew 24:14

King James Version

14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached 

in all the world for a witness unto all nations; 

and then shall the end come.

Matthew 24:27

King James Version

27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, 

and shineth even unto the west; 

so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

Matthew 24:36

King James Version

36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, 

no, not the angels of heaven, 

but my Father only.

Matthew 24:37-41

King James Version

37 But as the days of Noah were, 

so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

38 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,

39 And knew not until the flood came, 

and took them all away; 

so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

40 Then shall two be in the field; 

the one shall be taken, 

and the other left.

41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; 

the one shall be taken, 

and the other left.

Matthew 24:42

King James Version

42 Watch therefore: 

for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.

Matthew 24:43

King James Version

43 But know this, 

that if the goodman of the house had known 

in what watch the thief would come, 

he would have watched, 

and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.

Matthew 24:44

King James Version

44 Therefore be ye also ready: 

for in such an hour as ye think not 

the Son of man cometh.

Matthew 24:50-51

King James Version

50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day 

when he looketh not for him, 

and in an hour that he is not aware of,

51 And shall cut him asunder, 

and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: 

there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

That's why Jesus said:

Mark 13:37

King James Version

37 And what I say unto you I say unto all, 

Watch.

World in UPHEAVAL?

 

The LORD JESUS said:

Matthew 24:7-8

King James Version

7 For nation shall rise against nation, 

and kingdom against kingdom: 

and there shall be famines, 

and pestilences, 

and earthquakes, 

in divers places.

8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

The video above is but a sampling of all that's been going on in the world -- pestilences, wars, rumors of wars, hail, weird weather, diseases -- all prophesied in the Bible.

Researching further, I also saw the horrific bat invasion in Queensland, and the disturbing mouse plague in rural NSW.

And I was watching those videos last night, a 6.4 earthquake rocked India in one area, while another secton was already reeling from their own covid crisis.

Not to mention what the world has already been going through for over a year now with regards to that curious health challenge.

As a student of SPIRIT, I do know of the POWER of GOD over heaven and earth.

I also realize what man is capable of, under the influence of the prince of the world.

Jesus is the ONLY mediator between God, and man.

We must make our way THROUGH Jesus, our SAVIOR.

1 Timothy 2:5

King James Version

5 For there is one God, 

and one mediator between God and men, 

the man Christ Jesus;

Many deep into science will angrily say, it's all natural disaster, even climate change.

Others have their own conjecture about global events concerning weather, war, economy, or supernatural stuff.

We students of SCRIPTURE focus only on what Scripture says.

I do know God hates idolatry, and the world has millions of gods.

Here's where the HOLY SPIRIT led me to last night, as a testimony to God's power over heaven and earth:

Job 38

King James Version

38 Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,

2 Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?

3 Gird up now thy loins like a man; 

for I will demand of thee, 

and answer thou me.

4 Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? 

declare, if thou hast understanding.

5 Who hath laid the measures thereof, 

if thou knowest? 

or who hath stretched the line upon it?

6 Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? 

or who laid the corner stone thereof;

7 When the morning stars sang together, 

and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

8 Or who shut up the sea with doors, 

when it brake forth, 

as if it had issued out of the womb?

9 When I made the cloud the garment thereof, 

and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it,

10 And brake up for it my decreed place, 

and set bars and doors,

11 And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, 

but no further: 

and here shall thy proud waves be stayed?

12 Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days; 

and caused the dayspring to know his place;

13 That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, 

that the wicked might be shaken out of it?

14 It is turned as clay to the seal; 

and they stand as a garment.

15 And from the wicked their light is withholden, 

and the high arm shall be broken.

16 Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea? 

or hast thou walked in the search of the depth?

17 Have the gates of death been opened unto thee? 

or hast thou seen the doors of the shadow of death?

18 Hast thou perceived the breadth of the earth? 

declare if thou knowest it all.

19 Where is the way where light dwelleth? 

and as for darkness, 

where is the place thereof,

20 That thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof, 

and that thou shouldest know the paths to the house thereof?

21 Knowest thou it, 

because thou wast then born? 

or because the number of thy days is great?

22 Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow? 

or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail,

23 Which I have reserved against the time of trouble,

 against the day of battle and war?

24 By what way is the light parted, 

which scattereth the east wind upon the earth?

25 Who hath divided a watercourse for the overflowing of waters, 

or a way for the lightning of thunder;

26 To cause it to rain on the earth, 

where no man is;

 on the wilderness, 

wherein there is no man;

27 To satisfy the desolate and waste ground; 

and to cause the bud of the tender herb to spring forth?

28 Hath the rain a father? 

or who hath begotten the drops of dew?

29 Out of whose womb came the ice? 

and the hoary frost of heaven, 

who hath gendered it?

30 The waters are hid as with a stone, 

and the face of the deep is frozen.

31 Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, 

or loose the bands of Orion?

32 Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? 

or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons?

33 Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? 

canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth?

34 Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, 

that abundance of waters may cover thee?

35 Canst thou send lightnings, 

that they may go and say unto thee, 

Here we are?

36 Who hath put wisdom in the inward parts? 

or who hath given understanding to the heart?

37 Who can number the clouds in wisdom? 

or who can stay the bottles of heaven,

38 When the dust groweth into hardness,

 and the clods cleave fast together?

39 Wilt thou hunt the prey for the lion? 

or fill the appetite of the young lions,

40 When they couch in their dens, 

and abide in the covert to lie in wait?

41 Who provideth for the raven his food? 

when his young ones cry unto God, 

they wander for lack of meat.

Only God knows the whole picture -- the contents of our heart, and the plans He has for each one of us.

For the longest time, He has been appealing to all of us:

2 Chronicles 7:14

King James Version

14 If my people, 

which are called by my name, 

shall humble themselves, 

and pray, 

and seek my face, 

and turn from their wicked ways; 

then will I hear from heaven, 

and will forgive their sin, 

and will heal their land.

The question has always been, shall we still refuse to acknowledge the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, as the ONLY GOD?

What stops us from loving Him?

Why do we continue with our wicked ways?

Why do we insist on challenging His power?

Why do we continue defying Him?

Are we to continue grieving the Holy Spirit of God?

ALL have been prophesied.

The Bible revealed everything that is to come.

There are no surprises.

Only continuing defiance against the Lord.

I'm here to sound the warning.

Come back to the LORD now!

This moment is all we've got.

By the GRACE of GOD, we still continue to exist.

The day will come when Jesus will have us meet Him up in the air.

If we are left behind, we may not survive the Tribulation.

I was tasked by the Holy Spirit to ALERT, and PREPARE you, that we may be fit to meet up with the Lord, any moment God chooses.

He has guided me to look no further than the Rapture.

We cannot meet Him, the way we are now.

We must acknowledge our sinfulness against God.

And repent, before it is too late.

We have no idea the wrath of God.

50 Reasons We Are in the End Times

On Paying ATTENTION to SCRIPTURE

 

Jeremiah 8:7

King James Version

7 Yea, the stork in the heaven 

knoweth her appointed times; 

and the turtle and the crane and the swallow observe 

the time of their coming; 

but my people know not the judgment of the Lord.

Have we all lost our homing instinct?

That our real home is in Christ?

Have we forgotten what we are on earth for?

Where does God figure in our lives?

Are we even aware that Jesus can return any moment?

Are we ready?

The Holy Spirit called my attention to the words -- "times and the seasons" -- this morning.

Those words kept showing up today, so I finally searched the Bible for the verses, and here's what I found:

2 Timothy 3:1-7

King James Version

3 This know also, 

that in the last days perilous times shall come.

2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, 

covetous, 

boasters, 

proud, 

blasphemers, 

disobedient to parents, 

unthankful, 

unholy,

3 Without natural affection, 

trucebreakers, 

false accusers, 

incontinent, 

fierce, 

despisers of those that are good,

4 Traitors, 

heady, 

highminded, 

lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

5 Having a form of godliness, 

but denying the power thereof: 

from such turn away.

6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, 

and lead captive silly women laden with sins, 

led away with divers lusts,

7 Ever learning, 

and never able to come 

to the knowledge of the truth.

Matthew 25:13

King James Version

13 Watch therefore, 

for ye know neither the day nor the hour 

wherein the Son of man cometh.

Acts 1:7

King James Version

7 And he said unto them, 

It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, 

which the Father hath put in his own power.

2 Timothy 4:2-4

King James Version

2 Preach the word; 

be instant in season, 

out of season; 

reprove, 

rebuke, 

exhort with all long suffering and doctrine.

3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; 

but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, 

having itching ears;

4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, 

and shall be turned unto fables.

2 Peter 3:8

King James Version

8 But, beloved, 

be not ignorant of this one thing, 

that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, 

and a thousand years as one day.

1 Thessalonians 5:1-2

King James Version

5 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, 

ye have no need that I write unto you.

2 For yourselves know perfectly 

that the day of the Lord so cometh 

as a thief in the night.

1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

King James Version

16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven 

with a shout, 

with the voice of the archangel, 

and with the trump of God: 

and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

17 Then we which are alive and remain 

shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, 

to meet the Lord in the air: 

and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

Matthew 24:4-8

King James Version

4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, 

Take heed that no man deceive you.

5 For many shall come in my name, saying, 

I am Christ; 

and shall deceive many.

6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: 

see that ye be not troubled: 

for all these things must come to pass, 

but the end is not yet.

7 For nation shall rise against nation, 

and kingdom against kingdom: 

and there shall be famines, 

and pestilences, 

and earthquakes,

in divers places.

8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

Jeremiah 8:6

King James Version

6 I hearkened and heard, 

but they spake not aright: 

no man repented him of his wickedness, saying, 

What have I done? 

every one turned to his course, 

as the horse rusheth into the battle.

The beauty of Scripture is that it speaks of the past, present, and future -- of God, and of the world.

Of heaven, and of earth.

Nothing is hidden from us.

We know exactly what our futures will be, whether we are believers, or non-believers.

I am a believer, a born again, and I've been sharing the GOOD news of JESUS' imminent return with you, throughout my posts, as guided by Spirit.

The only question has been, who cares to listen?

Matthew 24:37-39

King James Version

37 But as the days of Noah were, 

so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

38 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,

39 And knew not until the flood came, 

and took them all away; 

so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

Who cares to read the Word of God?

Who's paying attention?

Who cares to be with God?

Jesus even showed how He'll show up again.

EXACTLY as He left.

Acts 1:9-11

King James Version

9 And when he had spoken these things, 

while they beheld, 

he was taken up; 

and a cloud received him out of their sight.

10 And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, 

behold, 

two men stood by them in white apparel;

11 Which also said, 

Ye men of Galilee, 

why stand ye gazing up into heaven? 

this same Jesus, 

which is taken up from you into heaven, 

shall so come in like manner 

as ye have seen him go into heaven.

Believers eagerly wait for JESUS.

But we care that everyone join the Lord.

Thus, this post.

It's time to start paying attention to the Lord.

He has given us fair warning.

Let the WORD have the LAST WORD.

KEY Words on Jesus' RETURN

 

Hebrews 11:7

King James Version

7 By faith Noah, 

being warned of God 

of things not seen as yet, 

moved with fear, 

prepared an ark to the saving of his house; 

by the which he condemned the world, 

and became heir of the righteousness 

which is by faith.

Do you believe that Jesus can return any moment for His faithful?

Do you believe in Jesus, at all?

When a warning has been given, who listens?

Who cares to hear?

Even as the warnings have been sounded thousands of years ago.

That's why people think it's not going to happen.

What are we to do?

Well, Jesus is clear about what we should do.

He's the one returning, after all.

He's given us more than sufficient warning.

He loves us, and has always done the will of the Father, that's why He warns us.

John 6:39-40

King James Version

39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, 

that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, 

but should raise it up again at the last day.

40 And this is the will of him that sent me, 

that every one which seeth the Son, 

and believeth on him, 

may have everlasting life: 

and I will raise him up at the last day.

Here's what the Lord asks we do, right this moment.

Matthew 24:44

King James Version

44 Therefore be ye also ready: 

for in such an hour as ye think not 

the Son of man cometh.

Matthew 25:13

King James Version

13 Watch therefore, 

for ye know neither the day nor the hour 

wherein the Son of man cometh.

Luke 21:34-36

King James Version

34 And take heed to yourselves, 

lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, 

and drunkenness, 

and cares of this life, 

and so that day come upon you unawares.

35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.

36 Watch ye therefore, 

and pray always, 

that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, 

and to stand before the Son of man.

Mark 1:14-15

King James Version

14 Now after that John was put in prison, 

Jesus came into Galilee, 

preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,

15 And saying, 

The time is fulfilled, 

and the kingdom of God is at hand: 

repent ye, 

and believe the gospel.

Jesus' KEY words:

"Be ready."

"Watch".

"Take heed."

"Pray always."

"Repent."

"Believe the gospel."

And yes, the Lord Jesus commanded we be born again.

It is the only way we can believe in Jesus, as Lord, and understand Scripture. 

The Holy Spirit of God will make sure.

Remember, God is a Spirit.

How else can you understand Spirit, unless you are taught from on high?

I vouch for God's TRUTH, with ALL my heart.

We truly live in moments only.

Seek God first.

Watch what happens.
