The Fall of Islam

by atharris, posted in Israel, Prophecy

Back in October of 2023, I stated “I believe we are watching the beginning of the downfall of Islam”. 

If you have been watching the news concerning Israel, you would know they are decimating their enemies starting with Hamas in the Gaza strip. Most of Hamas leadership has been eliminated. The Hezbollah terrorist group in Lebanon has had all of its leadership eliminated even taking out the new leader Hassan Khalil Yassin within one day of eliminating Hassan Nasrallah, head of Hezbollah. The exploding pagers and radios of Hezbollah by Israel was pure genius. Israel has removed a few of Iran’s high-ranking generals and have had success targeting strategic targets in Yemen. There are even reports as of this writing that the Syrian regime has lost contact with Maher al Assad, Bashar’s Assad’s brother, head of the 4th Division in a strike on his villa in Yafour in rural Damascus. According to the same reports, he was in a building that was attacked by Israel earlier today in the Yaafur area near Damascus. 

Benjamin Netanyahu at the UN Yesterday said “the United Nations is a house of darkness… a swamp of antisemitic bile… It is an anti-Semitic Flat Earth Society” and THEN he went to his hotel to issue the order to take out Hezbollah HQ in Beirut. Netanyahu is the right PM for this time in Israel’s history. His name means the Son of the right hand. 

Israel has yet to take action against Iran and Syria, but it is coming. To elaborate on Islam’s fall:

  • All remaining prophetic enemies that come against Israel prior to the Tribulation are largely Islamic countries or at least have Islamic leadership. The one exception is the Gog & Magog coalition while majority Islamic, will include some non-Islamic countries. All are defeated by Israel with God intervening personally in the Gog & Magog war. This is not to say Israel will not suffer but will be a military superpower at the time of the signing of the covenant with the Antichrist.
  • The one world religion going into the Tribulation is led by the Catholic church. Some say it will be a mix of Islam and Catholicism. But I disagree, more like Catholicism and New Ageism. There is even some belief the Catholic church is responsible for the creation of Islam and perhaps will become the scapegoat. 
  • In the entire biblical history, God has Always shown He is the one true God at the time of His choosing. It will be no different with Islam. It even states that during the Gog Magog war. “And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes.” Ezekiel 38:16 “So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and I will not let them pollute my holy name any more: and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel.” Ezekiel 39:7 

Syria with the destruction of Damascus and Iran with the Prophecy against Elam must yet take place before the Gog Magog war. The prophecy against Egypt I am not sure if it is before or after the Tribulation begins, probably before. “Behold, therefore I am against thee, and against thy rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt utterly waste and desolate, from the tower of Syene even unto the border of Ethiopia.” Ezekiel 29:10 The tower of Syene was not present when this prophecy was made, so it is yet future. It seems Israel will destroy the Aswan dam at some point when Egypt betrays them. 

What about our own country here in the U.S.? In early 2021 I was posting about the possibility of reformation, revival and justice at the hand of God. I will admit as time progressed, I became bitter to what was happening in our country and lost my belief in that. However, I am reminded that God is still in control and can do to His liking. Perhaps there is yet a small chance for that to happen here in the U.S. Let us pray that it will. Remember that King Saul tried twice to kill the future King David with a Javelin and missed both times. The year is quickly coming to an end, the make-or-break year for the U.S. 

For the LORD your God is he that goeth with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you. Deuteronomy 20:4

 

Jewish Temple update 8-2024

In my opinion, they are telegraphing in this video, especially towards the end. The time for the 3rd temple is very near.

Swords of Iron – Gaza Update

by atharris, posted in Israel, Jerusalem Watch, Prophecy

Warmapper.org does a tremendous job of creating maps for a given conflict. Below is the current situation in Gaza. You can see the IDF has split Gaza in half and is about to take the Shifa Hospital were Hamas (ISIS) currently has one of their HQ’s. Eventually, the IDF will control all of Gaza, permanently.

God made a covenant with Abrahm: “In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:” Genesis 15:18. The borders are more detailed in chapter 34 of Numbers (Num 34:1) and updated in Ezekiel 47 starting in verse 13 (Eze 47:13). One day they will draw the borders of Israel to look something like the below. Make no mistake, what God has promised no man or fallen rulers of darkness can take away.

The Final Blood Moons

by atharris, posted in Israel, Jerusalem Watch, Prophecy

First things first. This is a longer post than usual. I am not setting any date in stone for anything, but simply establishing a timeline. There is a fascinating prophecy in the book of Hosea that gives us the expected timeline for the literal return of Jesus to the Earth. 

Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up. After two days will he revive us:  in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight. Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth. Hosea 6:1-3

Basically, the prophecy is saying that Israel will return to the Lord after a 2-thousand-year hiatus from the time Jesus died on the cross for all mankind. Then the third day or the millennial reign of 1-thousand years, Israel will once again live with the presence of Christ and God will fulfill all of the unfulfilled promises of the Old Testament upon the nation. There will be blessings upon Israel again in the latter rain just as there was in the former before they rejected Christ. It is interesting to note that “latter rain” in the Hebrew text always refers to the spring rains of March and April. We know each day is equal to 1-thousand years because Peter stated, “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.” 2Pe 3:8. 

The consensus is that Jesus died during Passover week in 32 A.D. Six days prior to Passover (Jhn 12:1), Jesus rode on a donkey into Jerusalem to present Himself as a king on Palm Sunday of April 6, 32 A.D. fulfilling a prophecy from Zechariah 9:9. “Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass”. John 12:12-15 says “On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord. And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written, Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass’s colt. For more information on how this date was derived, click here: The Unexpected King. 

Joel 2:30-31 says “And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. 31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the Lord come“. The “Day of the Lord” is usually referred to as the 7-year Tribulation period, but in this instance, it is referring to the great and terrible day, the final battle at Armageddon. The moon will turn to blood “before” this battle. “That the wicked is reserved to the day of destruction? They shall be brought forth to the day of wrath”. Job 21:20. “But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner’s fire, and like fullers’ soap.” Mal. 3:2. 

Perhaps it will make more sense here:  “Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: Matthew 24:29. Here we see at the last day of the 2nd half of the Tribulation (1260 day period), the moon will turn to blood. This also happens after the 6th seal of Revelation is opened. “And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;” Rev. 6:12. Then there will be a 30-day commencement period as the armies of the antichrist gather to fight against our Lord. “And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.” Mat. 29:30. We know there is another 30 days from Daniel 12:11 “And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days”. 

Back to the prophecy in Hosea. If Jesus died in 32 A.D, there should be a blood moon two thousand years later in 2032, right? Well, there just so happens to be another tetrad of blood moons coming up for the years 2032 – 2033! Don’t get caught up in the Tetrad or set of 4 as they have happened quite regularly since the time of Christ death. The key to understanding the blood moons is Jerusalem. Can the city of Jerusalem see the blood moon at the time of occurrence for it to be relevant to the nation of Israel. Of the four blood moons for this time period, two of them are clearly seen by the city of Jerusalem.

Oct 18th 2032

April 14th 2033

In my mind, these are the final blood moons just before our King sets down on the Mount of Olives. But wait, there is more. For many years, many people have pointed out that the Psalms are an ongoing narrative of Israel’s history and future. If that is the case, then Psalms 132 and 133 should reference the end. Let’s take a look. 

Assuming 2032 is the end of the Tribulation; Psalm 132 starting in verse 7:
We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstool. 8 Arise, O Lord, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength. 9 Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy saints shout for joy. 10 For thy servant David’s sake turn not away the face of thine anointed. 11 The Lord hath sworn in truth unto David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne. 12 If thy children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon thy throne for evermore. 13 For the Lord hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation. 14 This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it. 15 I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread.16 I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall shout aloud for joy. 17 There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed. 18 His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself shall his crown flourish.
Assuming 2033 is beginning of Millennial reign; Psalm 133:
Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! 2 It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron’s beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments; 3 As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the Lord commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.

So, if this is the case, then 7 years back from the end at 2032 is the beginning in 2025……

You may not agree with this post, but again I am not setting anything in stone. The whole purpose of this blog – “looking for”.

Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Titus 2:13

 

 

  

 

 

The Land of Milk and Honey

by atharris, posted in Israel, Jerusalem Watch, Middle East, Ministry

Dr. Emir Caner was a guest speaker recently at First Baptist Atlanta. If you want to really know why the continued chaos in Israel, specifically for Jerusalem and including some very revealing insight into the religion of Islam, I highly recommend watching the sermon below. Emir was a former Muslim that accepted the call into the saving blood of Jesus. This is part one of a two-part series. Listen carefully when he mentions Damascus and if you are a student of bible prophecy, “The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.”, Isaiah 17 will suddenly make more sense. As I had mentioned in a recent post, we are witnessing the beginning stages of the fall of Islam.

 

The Land of Milk and Honey: Israel, Islam, and The Promises of God

Obadiah and Israel’s Expanded Borders!

by atharris, posted in Israel, Jerusalem Watch, Prophecy

I believe we are watching the beginning of the downfall of Islam. Through the various yet prophetic wars, culminating with the Gog and Magog war, Islam will cease to exist as they will not succeed in any of them. Obviously, this will not happen overnight, but I do not think this will drag out for years to come like in years past in my humble opinion. Obadiah chapter 1 is full of prophecy concerning Israel and the non-Jewish people now living in the area. I have made comments by each verse in parenthesis and blue letters. We are extremely close to fulfilling much of Obadiah 1. Verses 1 to 14 have already been fulfilled as it talks about the destruction of Edom; the Edomites or descendants of Esau, the brother of Jacob. Beginning in verse 15 we see the future re-claiming of land by Israel. 

Locator-map-GileadLocator-map-Edom1_kings_zarephath_mount_carrmel

15 For the day of the LORD (Tribulation period) is near (Days we live in) upon all the heathen: as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee: thy reward shall return upon thine own head. (If you attack Israel, you will be attacked either by Israel or God’s revenge).

 

16 For as ye have drunk (rituals) upon my holy mountain (Jerusalem, Temple Mount), so shall all the heathen (non-Christian, non-Jewish) drink continually, yea, they shall drink, and they shall swallow down, and they shall be as though they had not been. (Fall of Islam)

 

17 But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob (Israel) shall possess their (heathen) possessions. (Israel re-gains more of their God given land)

 

18 And the house of Jacob shall be a fire (IDF), and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble (Edomites came up from Edom and populated the area in Israel/Palestine after the Jews were dispersed by Rome in 70AD), and they shall kindle in them, and devour them; and there shall not be any remaining of the house of Esau; for the LORD hath spoken it.

 

19 And they of the south (Negev Desert) shall possess the mount of Esau (Past event, Mount Seir in Jordan); and they of the plain, (Gaza Strip) the Philistines: and they shall possess the fields of Ephraim, and the fields of Samaria: (Past event, West Bank) and Benjamin shall possess Gilead (Northern Jordan. Future, possibly very soon) (From 1948 to 1967, the populace came to settle in the Gaza strip, West Bank, and Jordan along with the Edomites that had previously settled in 70AD).

 

20 And the captivity of this host of the children of Israel (The Jews that returned in 1948) shall possess that of the Canaanites (Future event, the entire coastal area from Egypt to Zarephath in Southern Lebanon), even unto Zarephath (Future event, Southern Lebanon, Phoenician city situated between Tyre and Sidon); and the captivity of Jerusalem (Jews expelled in 70AD that went to Spain), which is in Sepharad (Sephardic Jews of Spain), shall possess the cities of the south (Negev Desert, yet future event).

 

21 And saviours (IDF Generals) shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the LORD’S.

Isaiah 17 Threatened!

by atharris, posted in Deception, Israel, Israel/Hamas conflict, Middle East

PM Netanyahu in speech to the nation: “The enemy wanted war, and it shall receive war. Israel’s actions will resonate for generations to come“. In an Israeli warning to Hezbollah it was stated: IDF will destroy Damascus, target Syrian President Assad if Hezbollah joins war. Over 75% of Israelis living in Lebanon border areas have left their homes ahead of a potential military clash vs. Hezbollah; large deployment of IDF forces in border communities. Netanyahu, the longest serving PM of Israel is not to be challenged. 

The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap. Is. 17:1

How long before we see some spillover here in the states? Iraqi Forces Issue Stark Warning: U.S. Will Become a Legitimate Target if It Intervenes in Palestine.

The United States is reportedly not yet considering an Emergency Evacuation of American Citizens in Israel despite other Countries such as Poland and Mexico already beginning to Evacuate their Citizens. So far, 11 Americans have been killed in the Hamas attacks. Why did the White House shut down at noon today of all days? 

Perhaps you may remember back in May of this year that 30 tons of explosive chemical disappeared from train after departing Cheyenne.

Officials are early in their investigation but the leading theory is the disappearance resulted from a leak, and there is no indication the material was stolen.

A leak? You may also remember that this same type of chemical, ammonium nitrate fertilizer, is what blew up the Port in Beirut, Lebanon back in August of 2020. The blast was one of the largest non-nuclear explosions ever recorded, killing more than 200 people, wounding thousands, and devastating swathes of Beirut. So what ever happened to the 30 tons “lost” in Cheyenne, Wyoming? The latest report suggest essentially the same: “As we have previously indicated, all the available evidence suggests this was a leak that occurred over the course of transportation from origin to destination.”

Maybe that is true, but in this age of deception, we will probably never know. Finally, I will let President Trump speak to what has been on my mind for some time.
