Rumours of Wars : Press Warns of The Looming War In the Middle East

Yesterday, I read a headline of a CBC news article that said:

Ominous signs that the next war in the Middle East is coming, and it won't be pretty

It's likely to directly or indirectly involve Israel, Lebanon, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Syria and even Russia        

                                                                    

 

So, six months before May 2018 ( the 70-th anniversary of its rebirth),  and as predicted the attention shifts back to the Middle East, Israel, her neighbours and other powers involved in their affairs. The list of nations mentioned in the article above is awfully close to the list provided us thousands of years ago by Hebrew prophet Ezekiel in his description of what is known as "Gog and Magog War."

 

Except he insinuates that it will be Israel starting it while the Scripture tells us that it will be attacked from the North by the alliance of these nations and that their true motive will be enriching themselves, and well Israel is now becoming a natural gas  exporter and behind the scenes working with Saudi Arabia whose oil is coveted by both Iran and Russia.

 

Perhaps all the signs in heavens  and on earth we have been seeing in recent few years all point to that very war.

 

It will be very interesting to see how it all will unfold. It will most likely also involve Turkey which will position itself on Iran and Russia's side of course. We must pray for God's protection over Israel and for wisdom for the leaders of our countries that they will not curse themselves by standing against His people as history is being made.

Millions of Children From Around The World Having Dreams and Visions of Heaven

Another spiritual sign of the times that is increasing lately is that of children, often very young ones,

sometimes even from non Christian homes having dreams and visions of Jesus and heaven. They often bring a simple message : "Jesus is coming soon!"

Jesus told us that He is coming soon over 2000 years ago, so very often when  we hear that we just smile and say,"Yes, He is," and move on with our everyday lives because we have really no idea how soon that "soon" really is.

The Bible teaches us that God is outside of space and time, so for Him 2000 years is a mere moment in eternity, but perhaps God is trying to catch our attention by speaking to little children because now, it is sooner than ever before on our time scale?

The Lord always reveals Himself to those of pure heart and you cannot find a purer heart than that of a little child. I just talked to our nephew and his wife who are missionaries and have two young sons. They told me how just recently their 2 year old woke up from a nap during a car ride  very excited saying: "Mommy! Daddy! I had a dream from God. Jesus is coming soon!"

They said that their hair stood on their bodies, because even though they are Christian missionaries and their children hear about Jesus often, they never really talked to their son about Jesus'  return to earth or the end times, thinking it is beyond the scope of understanding for  such young child.

If you put into  Google  or You Tube search words such as : "Children have dreams and visions of heaven" you will get as many as 23, 100, 000 results! All filled with stories of children of various ages and backgrounds telling about Jesus' return, of heaven, sometimes even hell, and of the end time events that they could not have known about  in the natural, but that confirm the biblical end time narrative.

I encourage you to try it yourself and read/ hear some of those stories, it is very fascinating to see so many common themes that show up in them. God is for sure doing everything He can to get our attention, and those are only the ones who are being reported and uploaded onto the Internet, so in reality the numbers are even higher.

2017: The Year of Challenge, Change, and Restoration

There are many prophetically significant events to look forward to in this New Year 2017. The Bible verse we received for this year is Joshua 1:9, "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”

This is also a verse that I received in years 1999 and 2000, which were the years of great challenges, changes, and restoration for me. And now 17 years later, it happens again, but this time not only for me, but also for the nations, especially Israel and United States of America.

Seventeen itself is a number that stands for death and resurrection or challenge and restoration. It was on the 17th day that the judgment of worldwide flood came upon the world, and it was also on 17th day of the month that the flood ended and the new era of restoration began.

So, I believe we can expect the same things in the 17th year of this new millennium that also coincides with year 5777 on a Hebrew calendar,  with five being the number of grace and triple seven the number of completion.

We are already seeing early signs of it with the nations showing hostility towards Israel by declaring East Jerusalem off limits to the Jewish people and declaring building of settlements in the so called "occupied territories" illegal. Having a more friendly American president in the office from January 20, will for sure help, but it doesn't mean that things will be easy.

Many Rabbis in Israel believe that Donald Trump came to the office after overcoming so many obstacles by God's design as he will be exactly 70 years, 7 months, and 7 days old on the day of his inauguration, with 70 being the number of Israel and double seven again for divine intervention and completion of His plans. Personally I am pleasantly surprised by the change that this man is going through and the policies he is proposing, and how friendly he is towards God's people both Christians and Israel.


The world ruled by "the prince of the air" and "god of this world" will be throwing everything it has  against both Israel and America, so there will be great challenges, but also there will be great changes leading to restoration in both nations. But it will be a tough year for the nations that came against Israel as by this act they opened themselves up for Satan to wreak havoc among them, that is why we need to pray for those nations to turn away from those attitudes. The United Nations will become even more irrelevant and might even be dissolved if countries such as United States stop supporting it financially or even leave it over its hostility towards the only democracy in the Middle east while they give a free pass to murderous regimes such as Islamic Republic of Iran.

And for the Church of God worldwide,  we can expect spiritual challenges, but also many victories that is why I believe the Lord gave us this specific verse from the Book of Joshua as an encouragement to press on and face the giants, so that we can posses the land that He has promised us.

I will be delving deeper into the many mysteries such as that of the number 17 and other prophetically significant signs and events that will be happening this year.

Date To Watch: November 20, 2016

In one of my previous posts last year,When Sudden destruction Comes,  I shared a prophetic warning dream of one of my close friends about some sort of destruction coming. She was given a timeline of 400 days. When we counted 400 days from the time she received that dream, we arrived at November 20, 2016.

I wrote back then that we did not know what it might be about and that as we get closer, we might have a better idea. Yesterday, I watched an interesting video presentation on You Tube in which a pastor and a prophetic teacher was analyzing a possible fulfillment  of the sign of a Virgin  described in Revelation 12: 1, "And a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars."

He said that this very likely could be a description of a constellation of Virgo as it will appear in the sky signaling the time of fulfillment of what was prophesied in that chapter. He mentioned November 20, 2016 as a time of "conception" of the event that is signified by this sign, which is to appear for the first time since 4000 years on September 23, 2017.

I would like to remind all of you though, that it is just a possible interpretation of prophetic Scripture and does not have to happen this way, but in light of what we were shown so far, I found it interesting that this date appeared again.

My husband and I were talking about it last night and we both think this  "destruction" could be a U.S. or U.N. strike against Assad in Syria and a possible fulfillment of Isaiah 17:1 prophecy about Damascus being destroyed in one day and ceasing from being a city. Could this happen on November 20, 2016?

I don't really know, but I think it will be a date to watch as we have only a little over one month left until this day. An international  armed intervention into Syrian crisis soon is very possible given all the rhetoric that is taking place at the U.N. about a humanitarian crisis taking place in rebel held Aleppo, Syria. The only problem is that both Russia and Iran would see such intervention as an attack on them as they are very invested on the ground in fight against the rebels there and Russia warned that it would have "dire consequences."

Below is the You tube presentation that I mentioned above, a very interesting watch.

What's Behind The Rise of Donald Trump And Other Rogue Politicians

Main stream media all over the world are watching in fear as Donald Trump wins state after state in

the United States' primaries, wondering how their own politicians and the public would react to the possible future election of President Trump.

Trump seems to defy all political rules with his highly divisive and politically incorrect statements that in the time past would render a politician unelectable, and he is not the only Western politician who has done that.

Everyone, including the left leaning media, were stunned when Justin Trudeau won the Canadian Federal Elections back in October. To be fair, his rhetoric was not  the same type as Trump's, but it was extreme nevertheless.

Trudeau used to praise Chinese dictatorial regime for the ease with which they pass legislation, admitted to smoking pot while in office as an MP, fought for the right of convicted terrorists to keep their Canadian citizenship, and promised to run $10 billion deficits  each year as Prime Minister.

It seems that everywhere in the world the people show rebellion against establishment whatever that establishment is at the time in each respective country.

Rebellion against the establishment is at the root of current war in Syria, out of which ultra terrorist group known as ISIS was born turning the majority of Middle Eastern countries into turmoil, which then spilled into Europe in the form of the ongoing refugee crisis.

And while the Churches of Asia, Africa, and Middle East are dealing with the most widespread persecution in the history with thousands murdered daily for their faith in Christ, the majority of Western Churches are falling away from their faith by embracing doctrines that are clearly against what  was taught by Jesus Christ and the early Church fathers. They are embracing sexual immorality of various kinds in the name of "love" and "tolerance", some have even denied Jesus and God the Father altogether...other major Western Church leaders deny Jesus as the Only way to The Father preaching that good deeds are enough to get to heaven, and that heaven and hell are not even real places, but only "states of the soul." Professing men of God think nothing of cheating on their wives, divorcing them, and then marrying another.

So, if the majority of the Church is in such a state of apostasy how can we expect any discernment on the part of general population? In the words of Jesus, if the salt lost its flavour, then how can one expect to flavor anything with it?

These are the signs of the times that our Lord Himself had predicted, "Then will they hand you over to be persecuted and killed, and you will be hated by all nations on account of My name. 
At that time many will fall away and will betray and hate one another,  and many false prophets will arise and mislead many. 

Because of the multiplication of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold.  But the one who perseveres to the end will be saved. 

And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come. " ( Matthew 24:9-14)

 

So what is behind the rise of Donald Trump and other rogue politicians in the West and elsewhere? It is rebellion that is rampant in the society because the love of the Church has grown cold. Let us not count on politicians to change the world. We are the salt of this earth, let us make sure that each one of us individually retains His flavor. Let us all as many as read this be the ones who persevere staying true to Jesus, and preaching the true undiluted gospel as a testimony to all nations before the end of this age finally comes. The Judgement of this world has already begun and the nations who rejected God are allowed to face the consequences of it, but those who continue to serve The Lord will grow strong and carry out great exploits. It is both the worst of times and the best of times in the history of this world.

Five Years To Jerusalem 2018 & The Four Blood Moons

Article originally published by me on May 15, 2013:

Much has changed in the geo-political landscape of Middle East since my last update article in this series. As Israel just celebrated their 65 th anniversary of national rebirth, the civilian death toll in Syria due to civil war in that country continues to rise with the number of the dead said to have crossed 100,000 people already. And while the fighting there is getting more brutal with the reported use of chemical weapons, Russia has announced yet another shipment of arms to the Assad regime and Iran keeps arming its Hezbollah fighters helping the Assad forces as well.

 

So, we can clearly see the alliances predicted thousands of years ago by Hebrew prophet Ezekiel forming right before our very eyes. Russia being described there by the ancient names of people inhabiting their land as Magog with its ruthless leader called Gog. According to chapters 38 and 39 of the Book of Ezekiel, Gog is going to lead a great army complied of the soldiers from today’s Muslim nations including Iran, Libya, and Turkey. They are said to come against Israel from the North through what is now modern day Syria.

 

The reason for their attack is to take spoils and “riches.” With Israel about to become a major natural gas supplier to Europe, this scenario is becoming more and more probable as it is no secret that Russia is in the process of building their energy empire and seeking to control as much gas and oil trade as possible. Israel is therefore about to become their rival and that is enough reason for Russia to go to war against it.

 

If they are planning to enter Israel through Syria, then that would explain why both Russia and Iran keep supporting the Assad regime against the mostly Sunni rebels despite all the bloodshed it continues to cause and this brings us to the grave danger it puts the United States in.

 

In order for them to fulfill their plan they know that they must neutralize United States, which makes Iran threats of activating sleeper terror groups in America all the more chilling, the recent Boston bombing being just the beginning of many similar terror attacks about to be unleashed.

 

Imagine the level of chaos and panic a series of such attacks all across the country would create and how much it would cost the United States to bring the perpetrators to justice. We saw it in Boston as the entire city was on lock down as police as well as military tried to apprehend only two suspects. How much more it would take if there were more such attacks carried out about the same time all over the nation?

 

So, if the United States went into chaos and Europe was tied down with its own financial difficulties, who would be left then to stop Russian- Islamic all out war against Israel? There would be no one.  That is why such a scenario is a very real possibility and United States’ leadership would be wise not to ignore Iranian threats and not count on Russia helping to end the Syrian crisis any time soon.

 

But there is also hope in all these seemingly hopeless circumstances because if prophet Ezekiel was right, then God Himself will step in to defeat the wicked plans of Gog and his armies, which will change the political landscape in the Middle East for many years to come and potentially bring peace at least for a long while to Middle East. Could it be the major event of 2018?

 

It is very possible, but it might even come to pass as soon as 2014-2015. There are signs both in heavens and on earth happening in our own times as the ancient Prophets and even Jesus had predicted. He foretold that in the “last days” sun will become black as sackcloth and the moon will not give its light. Many criticized that prediction as very vague as there are many solar and lunar eclipses happening periodically. But what if Jesus was not talking about regular solar and lunar eclipses?

 

We must remember that Jesus was Jewish and His disciples were as well. In 2014 and 2015, we will witness a very rare astronomical events from the Jewish perspective because there will be two total lunar eclipses in 2014 and two more total lunar eclipses in 2015 all falling on the major Jewish feasts with a total solar eclipse in the middle of them also falling on the Jewish feast. This particular configuration is called the tetrad or the four blood moons and it will happen only once in this century and indeed in this millennium, and will not be repeated again  in this millennium according to NASA records that show lunar eclipses all the way to the year 3000.

 

Consider the events that preceded the last two tetrads that fell on Jewish feasts. In 1967 and 1968 ( the six day war and unification of Jerusalem), as well as 1949 and 1950 ( the establishment of modern states of Israel following its rebirth in 1948), so could we then expect something major again in 2014-2015? I would not be surprised.
