This paper was originally written over a year ago, but the timing is more important now than ever. Be sure to watch the recent outstanding video at the end. You won’t hear it like this anywhere else. It is the coming great deception.
We perceive only a portion of the external world; even then, some of it may be incorrect. Our reality is comprised of only what we can perceive. Paul promises the believer a fuller picture of reality after we leave earth. “For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known 1 Corinthians 13:12.
Paul says “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places Ephesians 6:12. There are just some things in this life that we do not fully understand and will not understand completely until we are present with the Lord.
Pentecost begins this Sunday at sundown and ends Monday at sundown; effectively encompassing two days. Pentecost is the only holiday of which God commands a countdown. From Passover to the Jewish holiday of Shavuot (Christians call it Pentecost) is exactly 50 days.
The Hebrew word Pĕlesheth means Philistia; “land of sojourners” and is used eight times in the KJV bible in the following manner: Palestina (3x), Philistia (3x), Philistine (1x), Palestine (1x). The prophetical word Palestine, in its modern day exact spelling, is used only once! This passage speaks to the Lord’s end-time judgment upon the enemies of Israel. The name Jehoshaphat means “Jehovah is Judge” or “the Lord judges”.
For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem, 2 I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land. 3 And they have cast lots for my people; and have given a boy for an harlot, and sold a girl for wine, that they might drink. 4 Yea, and what have ye to do with me, O Tyre, and Zidon, and all the coasts of Palestine? will ye render me a recompence? and if ye recompense me, swiftly and speedily will I return your recompence upon your own head;
The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines sojourners as “a period of time when you stay in a place as a traveler or guest”. Dictionary.com defines as “atemporarystay:” and “tostayforatimeinaplace;livetemporarily”.
JERUSALEM — The Vatican announced Wednesday that it would soon sign a treaty that includes recognition of the “state of Palestine,” lending significant symbolic weight to an intensifying Palestinian push for international support for sovereignty that bypasses the paralyzed negotiations with Israel.
3 knowing this first: that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts
4 and saying, “Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.” 2 Peter 3:3-4
“Michele Bachmann actually predicted I would bring about the biblical end of days,” Obama told the correspondents, who erupted in roaring laughter. “Now that’s a legacy. That’s big. I mean Lincoln, Washington, they didn’t do that.” – Barack Obama
Lincoln, Washington, really?? Watch the 2 minute video.
On April 21, a federal court ruled that New York City’s Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) violated the First Amendment by refusing to run the “Hamas Killing Jews” advertisement displayed below and must therefore display the advertisement on MTA buses.
5 Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.
16 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate. Titus 1:15-16
Time seems to be fleeting these days; literally. The world and the physical makeup of the earth are changing at breakneck speeds. We are living in perilous times, and the confusion and deception grows almost exponentially by the day.
The Apostle Paul said we would be able to “see the day approaching”, and certainly in the general sense we can, as the world descends into uncertainty. But perhaps there is also a more direct meaning to his prophetic utterance. Perhaps a certain biblical prophetical event will take place, a warning if you will, and without exception the believers on the earth will “see the day approaching”. That is to say, the day of the Rapture.
Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. Hebrews 10:23-25
In Jeremiah there is the Prophecy against Elam. The Lord is angered by what is taking place in Iran/Persia and says he will break Elam, the chief of their might. Elam is home of the Bushehr Nuclear plant and there have been unconfirmed rumors of hidden nuclear weapons beneath the facility. Certainly that would be “the chief of their might” if the rumors are true.
4 The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet against Elam in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying,
35 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Behold, I will break the bow of Elam, the chief of their might.
36 And upon Elam will I bring the four winds from the four quarters of heaven, and will scatter them toward all those winds; and there shall be no nation whither the outcasts of Elam shall not come.
37 For I will cause Elam to be dismayedbefore their enemies, and before them that seek their life: and I will bring evil upon them, even my fierce anger, saith the Lord; and I will send the sword after them, till I have consumed them: Jeremiah 49:34-37
The ongoing nuclear talks have stalled and resumed, but all to the dissatisfaction and fear of Israel and very lax oversight from the U.S. administration. Now Russia has supplied Iran with the S-300 Surface-to-Air Missile System, and once operable will provide Iran with an impenetrable shield against an Israeli military air strike.
If anything, Russia’s move has clarified the situation. Israel’s duty to defend itself has never been more urgent and an attack scaled to wipe out Iran’s nuclear emplacements would likewise be a favor to any number of Sunni states that tremble from Iran’s Shiite encroachments throughout the Arab world.
The U.S. administration has now stated publicly that Iran only needs 2-3 months to produce a bomb.
Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz on Monday acknowledged that the US has known for years that Iran is just two to three months form having enough fissile material for a nuclear bomb.
When asked how long the Obama administration has known this, he responded, “Oh, quite some time. They are now, they are right now spinning, I mean enriching with 9,400 centrifuges out of their roughly 19,000. Plus all the…R&D work. If you put that together it’s very, very little time to go forward. That’s the 2-3 months.”
The nuclear accord talks and the Bushehr Nuclear plant located in ancient Elam complement the Prophecy against Elam. Whether by Israeli airstrike or massive earthquake, the Prophecy against Elam will be fulfilled, and soon.
Looking for that Blessed Hope!
