The Rapture Force

In Light of the President of the United states declaring that he will ask Israel to go back to it’s pre 1967 borders, I thought this article perfectly appropriate.

First of all let me say Israel would be absolutely stupid if they did this. They fortunately are not stupid though, and know better than any persons on earth, that this is a no no. First of all, if they were to do such an asinine thing, they would be leaving themselves vulnerable to the attacks of Syria, and Turkey, and anyone who would wish to attack them from the Golan Heights. Those are indefensible borders. The West bank and the Golan Heights are high ground. He Who has the high ground has the advantage and the way things go for Israel giving their enemies a high ground overlooking Israel is a bad idea.

What our president is envisioning has been proven not to work. He (BHO) does not understand that to give any kind of ground to any in the Arab world is like giving them the green light to kill all the Jews. All we have to do is look at when the Gaza strip was given to the Palestinians to see what they use their ill gotten gains for. That is to lob rockets over into Israel. Every time Israel makes any kind of concessions it has ended up being to their detriment. Besides when has any country who has won land in a war, given back their winnings?

Would America hand over the land they stole from the Native Americans? This is an occupied land if ever an occupied land there was. Would America hand over any land they won in any of the many wars they had to fight? Of course not! This would be foolishness of the highest order. No one would be asked to hand back over the lands they have won in a war. So why ask cajole, and or push Israel to do the same? It is just ridiculous. We took land here in America when we fought the Spanish. We took land from Mexico in the war between Mexico and America. I do not see anyone demanding we return the land we won in those wars.

This is all about supposed peace. There will not be any peace in the middle east. It is not possible, because the Arab world wishes to see Israel decimated. Syria wants the Golan Heights and they just keep stalling any kind of peace process, and then everyone including the American President blame Israel for not wanting peace. They have said time and again they would negotiate for peace. But being intelligent about it is the problem everyone seems to have with Israel. They verbally punish Israel for protecting itself, and yet the rest of the world is applauded when they protect themselves.

God says In Micah 4:1, the prophet said that the Temple mount in Jerusalem would become the focal point of the world. This prophecy has not yet been completely fulfilled. But, it is interesting to note that Jerusalem is, and has been for centuries, the world’s most important religious site. Christians and Jews regard the city as the world’s most important, and Christians and Jews comprise about one-third of the world’s population. No other city in the world is a religious focal point to as many people. Every one keeps talking about Jerusalem being divided. This will not occur for quite some time to come. The bible says clearly that the dividing of Jerusalem and the major land concession will come during the last part of the Antichrist reign of terror.

In Revelation 11:1,2) 1 Then I was given a reed like a measuring rod. And the angel stood, saying, “Rise and measure the temple of God, the altar, and those who worship there. 2 But leave out the court which is outside the temple, and do not measure it, for it has been given to the Gentiles. And they will tread the holy city underfoot for forty-two months. This verse is very specific and while it doesn’t say Jerusalem is being split, it is talking about the Temple Mount being partitioned off.

Currently while the Temple Mount is legally Israel’s, control over it remains in the hands of the Muslim religious council called the Waqf. Jews are not even allowed to pray on the Temple Mount. When Jerusalem is split, I think it’s a fair assumption to say control over the Temple Mount would also be a factor fulfilling Revelation 11:2. Daniel 11:39 Thus he (Antichrist) shall act against the strongest fortresses with a foreign god, which he shall acknowledge, and advance its glory; and he shall cause them to rule over many, and divide the land for gain. This verse talks specifically about what the Antichrist will do. He will divide the land for gain. Maybe that’s political gain or financial gain but the important part is that he will benefit from this evil act of taking land from Israel and giving it away.

Joel 3:1-2 1 In those days and at that time, when I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem, 2 I will gather all nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat. There I will enter into judgment against them concerning my inheritance, my people Israel, for they scattered my people among the nations and divided up my land. Here Joel defines the time of when this will happen. When the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem are restored seems to relate to what has been taking place since 1948 and the restoration of Israel. Since then, Israel has become an extremely productive nation prospering in many ways. We are seeing this time of restoration right now and God will judge the nations that scattered his people and dividing his land.

Zechariah 14:1-2 1 A day of the LORD is coming when your plunder will be divided among you. 2 I will gather all the nations to Jerusalem to fight against it; the city will be captured, the houses ransacked, and the women raped. Half of the city will go into exile, but the rest of the people will not be taken from the city. The first line says that Israel’s plunder (or spoils in other versions) will be divided ‘among you’ or ‘in your midst’. So Zachariah is stating that something Israel has won will be a part of this divided land and it will happen as Israel watches. In 1967, Israel recaptured the old city or East Jerusalem and it was spoils of war.

Today the UN, and the United states are not only pushing to divide Jerusalem, but they are doing it in front of the world. It will not succeed, not until the Lord says it is time. Everything is always done in the timing of the Lord. He knows the perfect timing for everything to take place. This writer through much study, has interpreted this to be the last half of the tribulation. There are two ways to show that the 1,260-day period is representative of the second half of the 70th Week: 1) Jesus said, So when you see standing in the holy place “the abomination that causes desolation,” spoken of through the prophet Daniel—let the reader understand—then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.

Matthew 24:15,16 Let’s compare what Jesus said with passages written by Daniel and by John. Firstly, Jesus was referring directly to the following prophecy in the book of Daniel: He will confirm a covenant with many for one “seven.” In the middle of the “seven” he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on a wing he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him. (Daniel 9:27)From this prophetically significant verse, we can see that the “abomination that causes desolation” will be set up in the middle of the final seven-year period (the 70th Week).

Secondly, John wrote about the latter-day fleeing of the Israelites, of which Jesus had spoken: The woman fled into the desert to a place prepared for her by God, where she might be taken care of for 1,260 days. (Revelation 12:6) We can see that everything matches. Thus, Jesus spoke of a time when some type of “abomination that causes desolation” will be set up in the “holy place” (presumably, inside the Third Temple) in Jerusalem. This would be in the middle of the 70th Week: the final seven years of this age (prior to His return to earth to rule and reign).

Jesus then warned those in Judea (the region in which Jerusalem is located), at that time, to flee. Those who will heed the warning (very possibly to escape to the mountain-desert location of Petra, in western Jordan) will be protected for 1,260 days, which also is 42 months or 3½ years—the second half of the 70th Week. Why would the people, in Jerusalem at that time, need to flee? It is at the midpoint that there will be a great battle in heaven, with Michael and his angels booting out Satan and his angels (Revelation 12:7-9).

Presently, although Satan’s throne is not in heaven, he continues to have free access to it, as shown in Job 1:6,7, 2:1,2. That will end at the midpoint of the 70th Week, causing him to be filled with fury on the earth, knowing that his time is short (Revelation 12:12). He will have “a time, times, and half a time” (1 year + 2 years + ½ year = 3½ years) remaining (12:14), which is 42 (Hebrew) months of 30 days each, or 1,260 days. Satan will pursue the remnant of Israelis, who fled at the midpoint of the 70th Week. However, they will be protected by God for the next 1,260 days or 3½ years (Revelation 12:6,14). It also is at the midpoint that the “beast” or Antichrist will gain global power, setting himself up in the Third Temple and proclaiming himself to be “God” (2 Thessalonians 2:4).

He will “utter proud words and blasphemies” and will “exercise his authority for forty-two months” (Revelation 13:5): the second half of the 70th Week. Incidentally, there has been a great deal of speculation as to what might constitute the “abomination that causes desolation.” I think it may have a very simple explanation, gleaned from Scripture. Daniel 9:27 indicates that this “abomination” will be “set up” on a wing (of the temple). 2 Thessalonians 2:3,4 shows that the “man of lawlessness” (Antichrist) will “set himself up in God’s temple” and proclaim Himself to be God. Therefore, the acts of this rebellious man (who will not be a priest), entering the Third Temple and setting up his headquarters there, and deceiving many into believing that he is “God,” easily could be an outrageous abomination before the true God. “Desolation”—as in unhappiness, misery, despair, and anguish—very well could follow for those who mistake and accept this false christ as the true Christ.

2) Revelation 6:1–10:7 is a chronologically ordered account (see The Chronology of Revelation), with no interruptions, from the beginning to the end of the 70th Week. Note that this account ends “when the seventh angel is about to sound his trumpet” (10:7). Then John writes, Then I was told, “You must prophesy again about many peoples, nations, languages and kings.” (Revelation 10:11) At this point, John begins a repeat explanation (that is, he prophesies again) of a period of time he already has described, lasting 42 months or 1,260 days (Revelation 11:2,3). But is this the first half or the second half of the 70th Week? It is the second half, because it ends with the blowing of the Seventh Trumpet. We know that this is the end of the 70th Week because, as John describes, Christ has returned to earth to rule and reign:

Eschatology is my ministry. There are simply not enough people out there who do the study of the end times. Oh sure there are plenty who will tell you the lie that tickles your ears. I mean really who wishes to believe they are going to possibly have to suffer, and suffer greatly? Not I for sure, but what I want to hear and what the truth is, are two very different things. I will not stand for lies, and I surely will not spread lies to make people feel better. Sometimes the word of the Lord is hard to hear, and even harder to digest. This is the unvarnished truth you must learn to accept what God in His word is telling you, that you may be prepared for what is coming. If you are unprepared it is because you were either lazy at studying the truth, or you have been mislead and did not try the spirits, against the truth of the word. Or possibly just plain scared to know the truth of the matter.

God did not tell us all of this to scare us, He told us all of this so that we would be unshaken, so that we would be completely ready. He told us all of this to prepare us, so that our strength and trust in Him would be huge. That we would be powerful Christian warriors to stand in the times of the end. He loves us and has prepared us for everything that has been, and that is coming. Will you be blind as the Pharisees were? They thought they knew so well what was coming, when Christ came, and they were the very ones who cried out for Him to be crucified, because they read wrong and understood wrongly.

The very ones He came for were the very ones who rejected and refused Him. Will you be caught up with His true brightened whitened, saints? Will you be one who will stand up under the purifying process? Or will you fall during the time of trying of your faith? Will you praise Him with all your might that you are found worthy to go through the purification, or rail complain and cry out why me Lord? As I said earlier the word is sometimes hard to hear, just look at all the disciples that Jesus had besides the 12, all left Him in John chapter 6, because what he spoke was too much for them to handle. Do not ever walk away from the Lord, because we who endure to the end will gain our eternal life with Him as kings and priests.

In closing no Jerusalem has some time left undivided.Until the Lord decides it is time,it will remain as it is no matter what man says or does. The Antichrist has not shown up on the scene yet. Though things are being put into place for the end times, we still have a little time. How much time no one knows, but it is not too far off in the future. First though we must see the world come together as one government with one currency. We must see a treaty between Israel and many. We must hear of talk about Israel being able to build their temple, and sacrifices being allowed once again. Yes there is much that needs happen, but happen it will, the word says it. It is settled and has been for many years. God does not lie, and His word is always fulfilled.

God Bless and watch over and strengthen you all.

In Christ’s Love, Tammy

I thought this week it would be appropriate to jump ahead a ways. In light of the Egyptian uprising. And just how it all fit’s into the end times. There is much said about Egypt in the end times,and none of it good for them or the rest of the world either,but most especially Israel.You see the whole middle east in the end times, indeed the whole world is going to come against Israel,and the Lord assures those who harm Israel,or even bother with it, will suffer greatly for it.

The exact verse is,  Zec 12:3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.  Egypt for the past 30 years has been paid to not come against Israel,by us America. Now Obama is telling Mubarak to step down,to step aside. The Muslim brother hood is trying to gain power in Egypt,and the people want it.

The thing is when the Egyptians get what they think they want, it is going to be even worse, than they think it is right now. The people in Egypt as of this moment are going hungry,there is no place to go get food. When people are incited to violence already before the hunger,it is a lethal combination. I will explain according to prophecies, in Ezekiel,and Isaiah just what is going on, and what is to come  in the future, with Egypt.

I will skip the first verse of Isaiah chapter 19, because that has gone forward to the time of the day of the Lord. We know none of this has happened to the specifications as of yet,and thus must be future occurrences. There have at times been drought in the land of Egypt,but not to this degree. I will also stop at verse 15 due to the same reasons stated earlier,this is the future it speaks of, as in the millennial kingdom,when Christ will reign on the earth. The Millennial kingdom will be a thousand year reign of Christ on the earth,after the battle of Armageddon.

2 “ I will set Egyptians against Egyptians;  Everyone will fight against his brother,  And everyone against his neighbor, City against city, kingdom against kingdom. 3 The spirit of Egypt will fail in its midst;  I will destroy their counsel, And they will consult the idols and the charmers, The mediums and the sorcerers. 4 And the Egyptians I will give  Into the hand of a cruel master,  And a fierce king will rule over them,” Says the Lord, the LORD of hosts.

Though we do not hear of anyone consulting idols,nor mediums and sorcerers who knows they could be. But we do see city against city all the peoples against one another. They have found their side and that is why they are fighting amongst themselves. God will hand the people over to a fierce king,or leader. They do want a new leader,many of them want the muslim brotherhood to become their leaders. That will be very very bad for Israel,and America, and even the Egyptians.

We know there is a system of government coming that is going to be the whole worlds government. We also know through bible prophecy that the one world leader will be a satan sanctioned leader. He will be like satans own son,called the antichrist. Could we be seeing here in Egypt that leader taking over? Is this the start of the end times,the last 7 years of the world? Do you think I am crazy for saying this? If so your not alone,and that is fine with me. I know I will not win any popularity contests for my speaking the truth. that is fine with me. I am not here to win your approval,but God’s.

5 The waters will fail from the sea,   And the river will be wasted and dried up.  6 The rivers will turn foul;  The brooks of defense will be emptied and dried up; The reeds and rushes will wither. 7 The papyrus reeds by the River, by the mouth of the River,  And everything sown by the River, Will wither, be driven away, and be no more.  8 The fishermen also will mourn; All those will lament who cast hooks into the River,  And they will languish who spread nets on the waters.

We have yet to see the previous four verses fulfilled,but this is going to happen,and not too far in the future. Look at verse 6 and let’s ponder this together.So let’s look at the Nile river. That is the river that this prophecy speaks of that will dry up. The Nile has a dam in Aswan Egypt called the high dam. This high dam was built to improve farming conditions, and in actuality it has been worse for the farming community. Now it says the brooks of defense will be emptied and dried up,and the rivers will turn foul. If water does not flow it becomes stagnant and foul smelling.

If the people who control the dam close it up,and we see here they will,then the farms will dry completely and the rivers and brooks will become stagnant and not flow. The fisherman will no longer have work,there will be no more food grown. The word emptied is the one that really makes me think this is not a drying up as in a natural drying,no it sounds more to me as though this is a man made disaster. The people who fish and cast net’s will languish, meaning they will sit and do nothing.

9 Moreover those who work in fine flax And those who weave fine fabric will be ashamed; 10 And its foundations will be broken  All who make wages will be troubled of soul.   11 Surely the princes of Zoan are fools; Pharaoh’s wise counselors give foolish counsel. How do you say to Pharaoh, “I am the son of the wise, The son of ancient kings?” 12 Where are they? Where are your wise men? Let them tell you now  And let them know what the LORD of hosts has purposed against Egypt.

Verses 9-12 talks more about the languishing going on in that time. No one has any work none of the people. Let’s face it these peoples lives are, or have been, what they have been, due to the Nile river. It is that countries life blood. The cotton to make clothing and fine linens will have dried up too. All who make wages,will no longer make wages. Imagine the devastation?

All their wise men have become as fools,they give foolish advice,they must be the ones who advise the ruler to shut off the waters of the Nile. But truly that is foolhardy advice. They will bring about their own destruction. We know also though from verse two,that what God is saying in verse 12, He is setting everyone against one another this is what He means here by my purpose for Egypt. And making them make foolish choices thinking themselves so wise I imagine.

13 The princes of Zoan have become fools  The princes of Noph are deceived; They have also deluded Egypt, Those who are the mainstay of its tribes. 14 The LORD has mingled a perverse spirit in her midst; And they have caused Egypt to err in all her work, As a drunken man staggers in his vomit. 15 Neither will there be any work for Egypt, Which the head or tail,Palm branch or bulrush, may do.

It goes on here, from verse 13-15 to just confirm even more in the mind, that this is God’s doing,the one making them make such foolish choices. Caused them to err in all her work. As I said at the first part of this,God will cut in pieces those who burden themselves with Israel,and who come against her.

Now let’s look at bits and pieces of Ezekiel and what that book has to say about Egypt. There is so much about Egypt and the end times that I canot possibly put it all in here,or we would be here for a week, as I tried to explain all of  it .Ezekiel 29:2-16

2 “Son of man, turn and face Egypt and prophesy against Pharaoh the king and all the people of Egypt. 3 Give them this message from the Sovereign Lord:  “I am your enemy, O Pharaoh, king of Egypt—   you great monster, lurking in the streams of the Nile. For you have said, ‘The Nile River is mine;  I made it for myself.’ 4 I will put hooks in your jaws and drag you out on the land with fish sticking to your scales.

5 I will leave you and all your fish stranded in the wilderness to die. You will lie unburied on the open ground, for I have given you as food to the wild animals and birds.  6 All the people of Egypt will know that I am the Lord, for to Israel you were just a staff made of reeds. 7 When Israel leaned on you, you splintered and broke and stabbed her in the armpit. When she put her weight on you, you gave way,  and her back was thrown out of joint. 8 “Therefore, this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will bring an army against you, O Egypt, and destroy both people and animals.

9 The land of Egypt will become a desolate wasteland, and the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord. “Because you said, ‘The Nile River is mine; I made it,’ 10 I am now the enemy of both you and your river. I will make the land of Egypt a totally desolate wasteland, from Migdol to Aswan, as far south as the border of Ethiopia. 11 For forty years not a soul will pass that way, neither people nor animals. It will be completely uninhabited. 12 I will make Egypt desolate, and it will be surrounded by other desolate nations. Its cities will be empty and desolate for forty years, surrounded by other ruined cities. I will scatter the Egyptians to distant lands.

13 “But this is what the Sovereign Lord also says: At the end of the forty years I will bring the Egyptians home again from the nations to which they have been scattered. 14 I will restore the prosperity of Egypt and bring its people back to the land of Pathros in southern Egypt from which they came. But Egypt will remain an unimportant, minor kingdom. 15 It will be the lowliest of all the nations, never again great enough to rise above its neighbors. 16 “Then Israel will no longer be tempted to trust in Egypt for help. Egypt’s shattered condition will remind Israel of how sinful she was to trust Egypt in earlier days. Then Israel will know that I am the Sovereign Lord.”

I do believe that this whole chapter is talking about the same times as Isaiah chapter 19. Isaiah started off at the end, just like a lot of stories begin at the end and work their way up to the point,and then beyond to finish it off. The finish of course would be the day of the Lord,but this goes on further to bring us 40 years into the millennial kingdom. We know that this prophecy has not been fulfilled as of yet,because Egypt is still a very great nation. No one ever destroyed her so utterly.

It is going to be some very interesting times coming on the scene of the world’s battles. If Egypt falls Israel is going to be very lonely. We know that our country is slowly but surely turning their backs on Israel,and we and England have been their only allies,with Egypt’s president holding off  the Egyptians from attacking Israel,as well as much of the middle east. Now well now things are just getting crazy.

So far since Egyptians have decided they do not want their president or their leader in office any longer,Jordan has dismissed their government, completely got rid of every person in their government and cabinet. Yemen is on the verge of overthrowing their government.

Things are heating up in the middle east and that is the hub if you will,where so much of the end time prophecies are connected to. Saudi Arabia will be over taken in a heart beat if Egypt is taken over by the Muslim brotherhood. Iran wants this all to happen of course,and they all have one thing in common,the destruction of Israel would make them all very happy. We know that cannot happen though. But that is for another time.
God Bless and keep close watch over you,in all you do.
In Christ,Tammy

It has come to my attention, that many people have been asking this question all over the net in search engines. I would like to answer you all. There is going to be no rapture in 2009 . The timing is not an answerable question by anyone. Jesus said in Matthew 24:36 “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only.” Then you ask how can I possibly tell you, I know there will be no rapture in 2009? Well this is how, In Matthew 24 Jesus also tells us in verses 29-31 “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
30 Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31 And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. It says “IMMEDIATELY AFTER” those days of tribulation. It does not say before tribulation, Jesus is quite clear here.

Why you might ask, would a loving God want us to go through trials and tribulations? Well personally I know Why America should be tested. We Americans are lazy and we lament about the littlest of trials. We go through something that someone from another country, would feel they were in a spa for the day for,and cant stand it feel we can’t handle it. God is going to test our mettle. He is going to see how much it will take to turn us away from him. We here in America are so not tested and tried as of yet. Our lives are super super easy. Try living in another country,where there is not enough food, no work, no clean water, your not free to speak as you wish. Not free to practice the religion you wish to. Not free to do anything but starve and have no clothing. No housing, not a drop of governmental help. If your found out for practicing a religion your country has not sanctioned, your dead, beaten, or imprisoned.

Also Jesus said in Mark 13:14 we would know the times,in Mark 13:14& Matthew 24:15,16 But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains: Then in 2 Thessalonians 2:1-3 Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come. Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will “NOT” come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition. The antichrist must first be revealed. I don’t understand how people can confuse this with any thing other than what is exactly in front of your eyes. I have also heard it told that Jesus was speaking to the Jews in Matthew 24:16. Because he says those in Judea? The book of revelations also tells us that Jerusalem will be trampled by Gentiles.There will be Christians and Jews alike.

All of the new testament is for all of the people in the world. Those who would listen to the calling of the Lord. We must also see the Temple built first in Jerusalem. Otherwise what is the antichrist going to make desolate? Sadly so many people are deceived in this day and age. It is going to be a sad day indeed, for all of these pastors and laymen who adhere to and teach diligently the rapture before the tribulation. When they realize they have been seriuosly sadly deceived themselves, and that they have been a part of satans huge lie. When their congregations depart from them and from God, and they realize they helped satan they are going to be devastated. It is unfortunate but true,even men who have within themselves believed the truth, that it is a prewrath rapture,do not tell anyone . Why? because they would have to lose lot’s of money, “lot’s of money.”

I have recently heard of a Pastor who came to the realization that it is prewrath rapture. Not pretribulation, and he gave up his 20 million dollar a year ministry, because he could not and would not deceive his congregants. That is one heck of a Godly man right there. His elders of his church said sorry can’t have you make us lose all our money and support, from all the people who want to believe in pretrib rapture,as well as make us lose the support of other pretrib teaching churches.

The great falling away the great apostasy,is going to be those who believe with all their hearts the lie that there is a pretribulation rapture. Let’ look at it this way in 2 Timothy 4:3-4 “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; and they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables”. What do people want to hear more than any thing else on earth? That they will suffer nothing!! Right? No one wants to hear you may have to die for the cause of Christ. No one wants to hear your loved one may be killed right in front of you. So just because it feels good to your mind,your heart,your itching ears to hear you will suffer nothing,you believe that damnable lie satan has been perpetuating since 1830 something. When you begin to suffer and say to yourselves hey wait I was not supposed to be here for this, don’t you dare turn away from the Lord. Don’t you do that I don’t care what you have to suffer, you need to stick to your first love and remember, It is not God nor his word, nor Jesus that lied to you. No sir, no ma’am, it was satan deceiving the whole world.

Do you really think that Satan is powerful enough to deceive the whole world into thinking UFO’s came and stole people off the earth? He is certainly powerful and definitely crafty, but he has no power over free will. God refuses to step on our free will, why would he allow satan to have control of our free will? Satan can cajole, and talk into, and lie you into doing things, but he cannot make you do anything. He could not force the world to believe that UFO’s came and stole people. Besides there is no secret about the coming of Christ on the clouds with great glory. Nor is it going to be a secret when the heavens are shaken and stars fall and the sun is made black.
The great lie which people are believing around the world is not forced on anyone,it is what they want to hear. 2nd Thess. 2:11 And for this cause GOD shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie. Verse 12 states: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

So no darling brothers and sisters from all over the world who have asked this Question. The rapture is not eminent. The rapture could still be years off. We must first see that temple in Israel,we must first see many many terrifying things,and withstand much trials and tribulation. We are in serious need of refinement before we can go home to meet our Father in Heaven. Remember he who endures to the end Matthew 24:13 but those who stand firm to the End shall be saved. Matthew 10:22 You will be hated by all men for my name’s sake, but he who endures to the end will be saved. Mark 13:13 You will be objects of universal hatred because you are called by my name, but those who stand firm to the End will be saved. Luke 8:13 Those on the rock are they who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; but these have no root, who believe for a while, then fall away in time of temptation.
Luke 21:19 “By your endurance you will win your lives. 2 Corinthians 1:7 Our hope for you is steadfast, knowing that, since you are partakers of the sufferings, so also are you of the comfort. Why would we be comforted if we had not suffered? Be ready Ephesians 6:11 Put on the complete armor of God, so as to be able to stand firm against all the stratagems of the Devil.1 Timothy 6:19 laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold of eternal life. 1 Peter 5:9 Withstand him, firm in your faith; knowing that your brethren in other parts of the world are passing through just the same experiences. 1 Peter 5:10 And God, the giver of all grace, who has called you to share His eternal glory, through Christ, after you have suffered for a short time, will Himself make you perfect, firm, and strong. What ? after you have suffered for a short time? Hmmmmm what could that mean?

Stand firm in the Lord no matter what please I implore you since I want to see as least amount of people go to hell as I can. Stand firm in your love and trust of Christ. We who are his own have nothing to fear, not even when or if we are broken and maimed and beaten and tortured. Even unto death stand firm in Christ and your love of him. He will not leave your side during your trials and troubles. Jesus said, “Fear not them that kill the body…Mt. 10:28 Rather, “fear Him who is able to destroy both body and soul in hell.”Mt. 10:29.

In closing let me say be strong,be steady,unmovable,unshakable in the Lord. No matter what you have been taught do not turn away from God when your trials and the tribulation occur. Love God with all your mind,body and soul. Remain my brothers and sisters in Christ always, please!! If someone tells you that they know when the rapture is, they are a liar.

Love in Christ Jesus, Tammy

Things are heating up, the world over my friends.
It is amazing to me,as well as exciting to me to see things God said would happen happening. We have wars and rumors of wars all over the place. India and Pakistan aligning their men.  Africa a normal hot bed of war like actions, by many in many of its countries. Israel,and Palestinians. Once again it pains me to see everyone coming against Israel and condemning her yes disgusting condemning Israel for defending themselves!!!!??? I mean I am saying that with amazed squeakiness in my voice. Incredulity. If this were any other country that has been bombed over four hundred times since Dec 19th the world would have been wondering why the country being attacked, did not fight back. I mean come on People Puhhhhhleasssssse.

We were hit by terrorists wielding planes as their weapons, and we went full scale war not long after with Afghanistan, and another country as well. Oh yeah man, I am rooting for Israel to kick some butt. It is amazing to me, that the rest of the world has no problem with Israel getting bombed daily and their lives being interrupted, days weeks and months at a time. By rockets hitting their neighborhoods. But the minute they pick up their arms and go on the defensive, the whole Arab world is going hog wild about it? Protests going on all over the place, and in the whole world as well. Why was it no one had a problem with Israel being hit? I will tell you why, because we are in the last times. God said the whole world would come against Israel, and there you have it, it is happening.

Israel the burdensome stone. Jerusalem will be a cup of trembling and a burdensome stone for all the nations in the End Times (Zech. 12:2–3) The funny thing is not many had even an interest in Israeli land before Israel became her own country once more. In 1948 there were small pockets of palestinians living here and there in what had been Israel, Gods covenant lands for his people. The apple of his eye. Once the Jewish peoples came home to their lands, That God wanted them to go back to. Then the whole world suddenly stood up and took notice. This can only be described as satanized (<<<if thats even a word) anger. Satan is quite angry that all that God said he would do, he is doing. Satan must be terrified because his time is coming to an end, and coming quickly. What a difference when Israel recaptured the Old City in 1967. Within months, the old slum was cleared away from the Wall, a grand plaza was established, and hundreds to thousands of people began gathering there daily to pray and worship the God of Abraham and Moses. Things were looking lovely for Israel. That is a hard working people.

There was a video put out not so long ago called weeds. It was one minute and 45 seconds long. It showed the Dome of the Rock back in 1882 or somewhere around that time, with weeds all over it and all around it. No signs of life in that Dome of the rock either. Then it was shown as of 1911 and still loads of weeds and no sign of life not at all not at any time. In 1924 still weeds all over the place no sign of life. This is the second of the Muslims holiest sites huh? Baloney!!
Why  for hundreds of years, would  these supposedly super religious folks, abandon one of their holiest sites? Makes no sense to me. The Jewish people have their heritage as well as their religion, as well as their nationality as Jewish. They have a wall they are faithful to visit and maintain. There are no weeds at that wall.

What other religion, nationality, community have you ever heard of who has maintained, no matter how far from their own land, no matter how disrupted from their religious practices, would maintain their religion, heritage, or nationality? Yes the Israelis no matter where they were living, maintained every drop of it. Even if since Jesus came it is redundant. Jesus came and fulfilled the laws. He is the fulfillment of sacrifice, and blood atonement. It is just too bad that the Jews have been blinded until such a time as God shows them and leaves no doubt in their minds that, Jesus is the messiah. The one they pierced. People there are going to be some crazy awesome miracles occurring very very soon.

The palestinians wanted Gaza for themselves. They wanted no part of Israel in anyway. Yet they still were expecting Israel to keep feeding them housing them and furnishing their electricity. They have been bombing Israel all this time because Israel has blocked them from all of these things. Why would Israel want to keep supporting people who one, want their land, and two who keep bombing them like mad? Does it make sense? No way no how. When someone wants something from someone, the last thing you want to do is anger them and hurt them. Peace cannot come to these two very different set’s of people. I do not Blame Israel for not wanting to work a peace deal. Besides to segregate themselves is just plain dumb. To give up their inheritance from God himself is just plain stupid, and if they did that they would suffer horrendously.

Every time they have signed something that looks like a cease fire Israel has abided by it to their own detriment. The other sides have not abided by their own deals. As well as the fact that every time Israel has signed onto these supposed deals for peace or cease fires, They have suffered more than the last time. The Arabs and or Palestinians see this as a weakness on the part of the Israelis. I think what Israel is doing is just the right recipe for them to finish this madness once and for all. I really am praying very hard that they do go in on a ground offensive. I am also praying that the innocents do not lose life or limb. There is also a difference between the way the Jews war and everyone else. The Jews are warning civilians to get out of harms way. I pray also that the Lord will lead them, that He will be their forward soldier and rear guard.

As far as the rest of the world goes, everyone but the USA is against Israel with a few minor exceptions. It just makes me say yupper good is evil and evil is good in our world today. Truly if it were any other country I do not imagine the world would think it so wrong for a country to defend itself and it’s people. I really believe it is just satan angering all the Arab world against Israel. And whats the deal with Russia’s major issues with Israel? where have they really ever fit into this scenario? No where thats where. The bible said this was all going to come about and voila here we are, it is upon us. Turkey is also condemning Israel for it’s defense of it’s people and lands. With the Word of the Lord telling us it is just going to get worse and worse as we go along. We need not fear any of this, God’s people Jesus own washed in his blood. The Lord says He protects His own and thats what He will do.

Psalm 34:7 The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.
Psalm 91:11-12 ,11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. Romans 8:28 “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.”
See the Lord is not going to let anything befall us that he will not protect us in.
No matter what the economy says, no matter what we face, we know God is Jehovah Jireh, God our provider. He will provide for all our needs. He does provide for us all things. I hope you all who read this are very thankful at all times to God our provider. For without Him we are nothing and can do nothing in and of ourselves. Looks to me like 2009 is going to be a crazy year. How exciting, how scary to some. This world needs our prayers soooo much. Let us pray continually, yes without ceasing. Pray for our president to be, that God will call his name and show him truth. Pray for every government in the world. Pray for all those people you wish to see saved. Ask God always to call their names. People pray for all things at all times. Prayer takes no more time than a simple thought. God is always tuned in and always on it. Whatever “it” might be. Trust the Lord your God trust and obey Him always.

I love this here and need to share with you. Consider Isaiah 40:28-31 “Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding. He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.”
Oh God is soooooooooo good.
Praise God, worship him always with thanksgiving in your heart.
Happy New Year!!! may it be a great one for you all.
Love in Christ Jesus, Tammy
