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.

Honored to be Featured on "The Lamplighter"

I am grateful to Dr. David R. Reagan, of Lamb & Lion Ministries, host of the wonderful "Christ in Prophecy" video channel on YouTube, for featuring me on the January-February 2020 issue of their newsletter.

I am but a baby Christian, but eternally grateful that I have encountered Dr. Reagan, and my Bible teacher, Joseph, through the ministrations of the Holy Spirit.

Through Dr. Reagan's videos on Bible prophecy, I developed a heart and thirst for it, and started reading the Bible in the process.

Then, I began to love Jesus even more, as I started reading His words, prophecies, and instructions.

In my happiness, I began communicating with Dr. Reagan, showing him the many articles I've written about him and his ministry.

When you know you have finally found something you've been searching for all your life -- in my case, the Truth of God's Being -- you can only be supremely jubilant.

I was so happy and excited, that I created this blog you're reading now. Dr. Reagan felt my ebullience, surprising me by asking to interview me for his organization's magazine.

Well, that day is here now, and if you wish to read the wonderful contents of their latest newsletter, as well as take a peek on their post on me, we'd all love it if you would head over to the Lamb & Lion Ministries website, and sign up for the FREE newsletter, too!

In that article I was featured in, I spoke of my transition from being a Catholic, to being born again.

It's under "Discovering Prophecy" -- A Voice From the Philippines.

The downloadable pdf has many Christ treasures in there -- a wonderful end times reference for all who care to know about Bible prophecy and being a Christian in the true sense of the word.

I am honored that I became part of this year's first issue, and I shall continue my own Christ work, too!

Please join Dr. Reagan and his hardworking staff by subscribing to their newsletter, and viewing many important videos on the site.

I also wish to thank you for reading my latest post here, and hoping you make time to connect with Lamb & Lion Ministries.

GOD bless all of you and your families!

Only God is Good

I celebrate my two months as a baby Christian today, the 6th of November 2019.

In that time, I've started really reading the Bible and studying it, taking down notes which have filled three notebooks and used three ballpens already.

And that's only from having read Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, part of Numbers, and the four Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and nearly done with John.

It is no boast, my dear readers. 

If the Bible has 66 books and I've only read not even eight, that means I have 58 more books to read.

Long way to go.

It is hard work for I aim to get things accurately about God, Christ, the Holy Spirit, Salvation, Eternal Life, and Bible Prophecy. 

I am not a theologian.

I'm just a quiet and independent writer and researcher who has embraced Christ in full as a two-month-old born-again Christian.

I also love God with all my heart and thirst for Jesus' Words.

The Bible has so many beautiful verses from God, Christ, the prophets, and the apostles, but somehow, ONE particular verse really puts things in perspective for me, my life, and my work, and here it is:

18 And Jesus said unto him, 

Why callest thou me good? 

there is none good but one, 

that is, God.

Mark 10:18 

King James Version

In so very few words, Jesus reveals His own humility, even as John the Baptist, His beloved cousin and precursor, had this to say about our Savior:

27 He it is, 

who coming after me is preferred before me, 

whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose.

John 1:27 KJV

God knows the heart of man. After the Flood, God has this to say about man:

21 And the Lord smelled a sweet savour; 

and the Lord said in his heart, 

I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; 

for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; 

neither will I again smite any more every thing living, 

as I have done.

Genesis 8:21 KJV

Very humbling, isn't it?

But if you can accept our true nature, then you know we all need to be corrected, and that's why we must look to Jesus as our Savior.

If you cannot accept it, then the world is still too much in you.

And you know who rules the world, right?

Check this previous post in case you're not aware. 

But all is not lost.

The Bible says that Jesus is the Way to God:

6 Jesus saith unto him, 

I am the way, the truth, 

and the life: 

no man cometh unto the Father, 

but by me.

John 14:6 KJV

If you really aim to know Christ, you must lose that ego.

Only Jesus must remain.

Remember this, then:

30 He must increase, 

but I must decrease.

John 3:30 KJV

Why Study Bible Prophecy At All?

Why does Bible Prophecy matter?

Why study it at all?

What made me get into it?

After watching Dr. David R. Reagan's two videos on "rebellious" America, something was triggered in me to focus on Bible Prophecy.

Sure, I was a baby Christian, hardly even a day old then, but I was magnetized to study Bible Prophecy.

When you are intrigued or interested in something -- as if a "call" had been sounded -- you don't even think how difficult or challenging it may be.

That never even occurred to me, for I've been a relentless reader, writer, student, and researcher on matters of the self and soul since I was a child -- what more when it was a question of knowing more about God and Christ's Prophecies -- something I'd waited for all my life?

I personally felt the urgency of the times. I'm just blessed to be here on time to tell you these things, even as many have gone on before me.

On 6 September 2019, I felt I was in the right place, at the right time, doing the right thing -- focusing on God, Christ, the Bible, and Bible Prophecy.

Forty-five days later, today, my zeal has grown even more.

Sure, unbelievers will call us "nuts" like how John MacArthur once wondered about how people call end times ministers "Grape Nuts" (how it ought to be one or the other).

Thanks to internet evangelist, Nathan Jones, a colleague of Dr. David R. Reagan, the short (a little over five minutes) video will give you a quick run-through of the importance of studying Bible Prophecy.

When else will you do so?

When it's too late?

I've made my decision first week of September 2019.

And there was no turning back after that.

Every day merely showed how little I knew and that it was time to catch up.

Read the Bible.

It will tell you everything you know, for it's God's Word.

It's time to learn more about 27% of the Bible -- Prophecies.

"...worship God: 

for the testimony of Jesus 

is the spirit of prophecy."

Revelation 19:10 NIV

David Wilkerson on "Witchcraft in the Church"

The Holy Spirit had been leading me to many wonderful pastors and preachers of great dedication and precision for over a month now.

One I had been studying the past couple of days was David Wilkerson.

(The link was sourced from Dr. David R. Reagan's "Christ in Prophecy" site.)

The fiery preacher David Wilkerson has this to say about how witchcraft has infiltrated the church in insidious ways.

He also shared an important verse from the King James Version (KJV) of the Bible where the word "witchcraft" was used:

22 And Samuel said, 

Hath the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, 

as in obeying the voice of the Lord? 

Behold, 

to obey is better than sacrifice, 

and to hearken than the fat of rams. 

23 For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, 

and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. 

Because thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, 

he hath also rejected thee from being king.

1 Samuel 15:22-23 KJV

The late David Wilkerson* cautions us to be careful and have a "spirit of discernment" even as he says:

"Demons cannot co-exist with the presence of Christ."

What is God's Will For Us?

There is something very strange and yet very beautiful going on.

That's been the case since I first became a born-again Christian on 6 September 2019.

The dreams changed, the feelings changed, the practices changed, the studies changed, my days have changed.

And today, I was happily surprised that my Bible teacher friend shared the quote above, and to think I had just discovered Greg Laurie a couple of days ago.

My friend's Laurie quote EXACTLY matches this 4 May 2019 video I had been studying yesterday, something on knowing what God's Will is for us so it's most timely I incorporate both on this blog post.

I like pastor's Laurie approach of taking us to those places (this one filmed in Greece) where we can learn relevant Bible phrases and teachings, pretty much like Dr. David R. Reagan's many videos.

This method is effective in rounding out our education -- a great aid for baby Christians like myself.

In this video, pastor Laurie says:

"God's plan for you is better than your plan for yourself."

Another beautiful verse that pastor Laurie used in the video can be found here:

A Living Sacrifice

12 Therefore, 

I urge you, 

brothers and sisters, 

in view of God’s mercy, 

to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, 

holy and pleasing to God—

this is your true and proper worship. 

2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, 

but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. 

Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—

his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Romans 12:1-2 NIV

Israel is God's Elect

A few days ago, I encountered the videos of John MacArthur, and have loved listening to his many teachings.

For this particular post, I will share some videos showing proof of how Israel had always been God's "elect" -- His chosen nation with whom He has made Covenants with Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and David.

John MacArthur is adamant that we must get Israel right, and he says it beautifully:

"If you get your eschatology right, you get Israel right. 

If you get Israel right, you get your eschatology right."

What is eschatology?

It's been called the "science of last things".

Other pastors call it the "end times".

The Awesome Bible

I've been learning to love the Bible since 6 September 2019, but today, I love it even more because I desire to know EVERYTHING about God through Jesus.

There are 66 books in the Bible and obviously I have a long way to go.

But I've studied all my life, so I have the heart, patience, and perseverance to do so. 

After so many books I've bought, studied, and sold, it's time I focused on the Bible alone.

In the video above, I found Chuck Missler's declaration particularly intriguing:

"The New Testament 

is in the Old Testament concealed;

The Old Testament

is in the New Testament revealed."

He also says the Bible is a "supernatural creation".

There's that "supernatural" word again which I've heard Dr. David R. Reagan speak of in many of his videos, as well as with other ministers you'll find on this blog.

The late pastor Missler urges us to face two challenges right now:

1. Find out what the Bible says.
2. Find out what is really going on.

We can't just live without meaning.

We must know what's really happening in us, around us, and how it all ties up with the Bible for the Word of God has all the answers.

Apart from the word "supernatural", I was also intrigued at pastor Missler's use of the word "convergence" which Dr. Reagan has also used in many of his videos.

Something is definitely going on and it's time we all read the Bible and become born again in Christ for He is our Salvation.

For my part, I remind myself of this lovely verse from Christ from John 10:30 NIV:

30 I and the Father are one.”

On Being Victorious In Jesus

Do you believe there is victory in Christ?

Watch Dr. David R. Reagan's lovely video above and you will know so.

I also researched a few Bible verses that point to Christ's Victory over that which is not of God.

Deuteronomy 20:4

King James Version

4 For the Lord your God is he that goeth with you, 

to fight for you against your enemies, 

to save you.

John 16:33

King James Version

33 These things I have spoken unto you, 

that in me ye might have peace. 

In the world ye shall have tribulation: 

but be of good cheer; 

I have overcome the world.

Romans 8:37

King James Version

37 Nay, 

in all these things 

we are more than conquerors 

through him that loved us.

1 Corinthians 15:57

King James Version

57 But thanks be to God, 

which giveth us the victory 

through our Lord Jesus Christ.

2 Corinthians 2:14

King James Version

14 Now thanks be unto God, 

which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, 

and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge 

by us in every place.

Philippians 4:13

King James Version

13 I can do all things through Christ 

which strengtheneth me.

Hebrews 2:14

King James Version

14 Forasmuch then as the children 

are partakers of flesh and blood, 

he also himself likewise took part of the same; 

that through death he might destroy him 

that had the power of death, 

that is, the devil;

1 John 5:4

King James Version

4 For whatsoever is born of God 

overcometh the world: 

and this is the victory that overcometh the world, 

even our faith.

Mike Gendron's "Christ Alone"

Another colleague of Dr. David R. Reagan who I liked learning from was Mike Gendron, a former Catholic.

You will appreciate his gentle tone which speaks many things my heart questions about my own Catholic faith, too.

Pastor Gendron says:

"The Gospel is about Christ alone."

Perhaps, if people's ego would be set aside and if they really love Christ in full, they will give the Savior proper respect, love, and homage.

Having grown up Catholic, I am not here to put down my former church, even as I look wonderingly at the ostentation in it, starting with the Vatican.

If Christ drove the merchants from His Father's Temple, why does the Vatican have a bank and a treasure-rich museum?

Why the commercialization of "indulgences" or the creation of it at all?

Why are Catholic priests dressed in quality vestments when Christ, I believe, merely walked in all simplicity?

I've even encountered many women ("handmaidens") who would create such vestments for the priests and would even guard the priests jealously like when one time I requested for a copy of the sermon.

It's like these women were the "gate keepers" to the priests.

I think that's one of the reasons why I preferred to pray directly to God and not be part of too much ritual or ostentation.

I really wanted to savor the Word of God and not be distracted from it.

All these concern my heart as I feel Christ lived so simply and was merely focused on showing us how to love His Father.

Of course, I am but a beginner in learning more about Christ. I only speak of what I've personally observed or experienced in my own church.

I think, all pastors and priests supremely devoted to Christ will only focus on Him and not on themselves.

The Message is more important than the messenger.

That's why my favorite passage is:

"He must become greater; 

I must become less."

John 3:30 NIV

Updated 18 January 2022

"Promises and Betrayals" Regarding Britain and the Holy Land

Through Dr. David R. Reagan's many videos showing his love for Israel -- being God's Chosen Nation -- I began to look more into the Holy Land, too.

They say to separate the state from religion and vice-versa but I don't believe people really do that.

I live in the Philippines, a developing country, and I've observed political aspirants pay "homage" to religious institutions, perhaps to receive favor and possibly to get votes from the various church's large assemblies.

I cringe every time they do that, for they have politicized the cause of God and so I feel the end times are near for there is no more respect for Christ.

Also, I've always been interested in world events since I was 14 years old as a second year high school student.

I particularly loved the subject "Social Studies" where we we would receive the weekly mini-newspaper called, "Current Events Digest".

I've always been intrigued by the dynamics among nations and how nations are shaped through benevolent or tyrannical leaders, what more in the case of Israel.

All that being said, I was led by God early this morning to the illuminating 52-minute video above which reviews and reveals the British "double-dealing" during the First World War.

It also showed the conflicting promises the British Empire had with the Arabs and the Jews.

All these tie up with Dr. Reagan's own video and book on "Israel in Bible Prophecy: Past, Present & Future". 

I think it's important to know more about the history of Israel and find out why she has suffered so.

God will always fulfill His Prophecies so it's a lost cause whoever's hindering Israel from achieving that.

Jan Markell Speaks on the Mockery of Bible Prophecy

I first learned about Jan Markell, through Dr. David R. Reagan's videos.

He calls her a "Messianic Jew".

On the video above, she speaks passionately about the attacks on their ministry because the end times haven't happened yet. 

There will always be the hecklers, the doubters and skeptics, the bored, the plain evil, and rarely are those who really care to know what Christ is all about.

The enemy's idea is to keep everyone in the dark.

We live in a materialistic world which has been taken over by that which is not of God, and now that end times is near (I feel that, too), those entities are working quadruple time that we don't get back to Christ in time.

It's really a battle for the souls.

Before I got into Bible Prophecy nine days ago, I've been researching on how such entities, corporations, institutions, and organizations have been taking over our lives and souls.

It is those insidious ambushes and attacks we really need to be aware of.

It's like cancer eating up at our soul and we're not even aware of it.

Jan Markell, Dr. Reagan, and their colleagues are here to sound the alarm -- not to alarm us -- but to wake us up.

Still, we concerned groups and individuals, face much adversity -- but not as much as Christ had.

I found that very few people are aware or would want to be aware, for they are too involved in the materialism of life.

Also, most people are afraid. 

And that's why I welcome Dr. Reagan, Jan Markell, and a few of their colleagues so I can learn more about Bible Prophecy and share it here.

Do you believe the end times are near?

I do.

That's why I created this blog.

It's always a good time today to know more about Christ and His Plan for our Salvation so I intend to listen and learn every step of the way.

My life is in God's Hands alone.

Dr. David R. Reagan's "A Prophetic Manifesto"

I first got interested in Bible Prophecy after listening to Dr. David R. Reagan on the evening of 6 September 2019.

It was two videos depicting the rebellion of America -- so very ripe for the end times and the "imminent" return of Jesus.

After listening to those videos and viewing Dr. Reagan's other videos, I finally realized how important it was to embrace Christ in full as my personal Savior and Guide through His Gospel.

You just know a life-changing and soul-changing thing when you see or hear it, thus I personally continued forward and looked into Bible Prophecy more.

I also loved these two videos below wherein Dr. Reagan wrote a simple but profound slim volume called "A Prophetic Manifesto".

These two other videos continue where the other earlier videos on America left off. 

Dr. Reagan's prophetic manifesto is divided into two parts:

1. "The Condition and Fate of Our Nation".

2. "The Condition of the Church".

If your heart is open you will love how Dr. Reagan teaches us. I found him of great value to me and hopefully to the rest of you new in Bible Prophecy -- thus, the creation of this blog.

The Best-Kept Secret in Judaism

How is it that modern-day Jews haven't really embraced Christ? 

How is that possible?

Didn't JESUS show up as a Jew, to the Jews?

I've heard the Scripture passage:

Mark 6:4

King James Version

4 But Jesus, 

said unto them, 

A prophet is not without honour, 

but in his own country, 

and among his own kin, 

and in his own house.

Sometimes, the VERY answer -- the ABSOLUTE answer -- is right under our noses and we don't even know Him.

It seems to be a common mistake among all of us who seek far and wide for the obvious when we already have it right in front of us.

Surely that's no cosmic joke, but it is what it is.

Last night, God led me to a video, featuring the young Dr. Eitan Bar, "One For Israel's" Evangelism and Apologetics director.

Many will be surprised how Jews don't know their Savior, or haven't come to love Him, for it seems CHRIST's enemy still has a firm grip on the hearts and minds of people, mostly creating fear in their hearts.

Dr. Bar called the rabbis who kept their people in the dark, "pharisees".

What was touching was when the enlightened Jews remarked:

"How can an entire nation be led astray?"

"Our people need Jesus."

"Jewish people don't speak against rabbis."

Before I encountered the video, I had no idea God's chosen people were kept in the dark about their True Savior. 

Viewing Dr. David R. Reagan's many wonderful videos, I began to understand the plight of this people and nation. 

Well, Christ's Time is coming and there is no second to be lost.

If you truly love God you will do your best to know about Him through His Son, Jesus, who revealed all in the Bible.

I, for myself, am catching up for lost time.
