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. 

The Temple Institute: Building the Holy Temple!

Day of Christ

by atharris, posted in Ministry

For this paper, we must first distinguish between the “Day of the Lord” and the “Day of Christ”. The key to understanding is found in the difference between the meaning of “Lord” and “Christ”.

Lord refers to King, master, ruler, possessor, judge, avenger, while Christ refers to the chosen one sacrificed for all mankind and all the promises that are in Christ such as eternal life, forgiveness of sins, promise of the Holy Spirit, promise of perfection, resurrection of the dead in Christ, promise of a new eternal body. The “Day of the Lord” is referenced 25 times in the KJV and refers to the Tribulation period and the actual day the Lord and His saints return to earth to wipe out the enemy at the battle of Armageddon. The “Day of Christ” is used only 3 times in the KJV. Now with these defined, let’s dive in.

Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. 2 Thes. 2:1-2

Evidently, someone posing as Paul wrote a previous letter to the Thessalonians contradicting what Paul had already informed them. So, Paul wrote again to set the record straight. Paul is talking to the Thessalonians about the RAPTURE clearly outlined in this passage by “coming of our Lord Jesus Christ”, “our gathering together unto him” and “the day of Christ”. This day fulfills some of the promises of Christ including the resurrection and our new eternal body. Many theologians have stated “the day of Christ” was misinterpreted in this passage and should say “the day of the Lord” which refers to the Tribulation period.

I have posted many times proof of the importance and perfection of the KJB. It is the perfect Word of God and even supersedes the Hebrew and Greek text. God does not expect everyone to be fluent in the original languages to understand His Word (For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light Matthew 11:30). Below are the other two usages of “the day of Christ” lest you doubt. As you can see, there is no connection to the Tribulation period, a very important distinction.

That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ; Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God. Phil. 1:10-11
For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. Do all things without murmurings and disputings: That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world; Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain. Phil. 2:13-16

Now let’s continue in Thessalonians.

Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 2 Thes. 2:3

Don’t let any man deceive you into thinking you missed the Rapture. Two events will take place at the Rapture. First, the falling away and then the revealing of the son of perdition. The falling away is the Rapture. How do we know? We need to look at the first instance of the Antichrist in John 13. Yes, he was already here. And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition Revelation 17:11. He is also named the son of perdition by Jesus. While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled John 17:12. Jesus is speaking of Judas as the son of perdition; one of the 12 disciples.

When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me. Then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he spake. Now there was leaning on Jesus’ bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved. Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, that he should ask who it should be of whom he spake. He then lying on Jesus’ breast saith unto him, Lord, who is it? Jesus answered, He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it. And when he had dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly. Now no man at the table knew for what intent he spake this unto him. For some of them thought, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus had said unto him, Buy those things that we have need of against the feast; or, that he should give something to the poor. He then having received the sop went immediately out: and it was night John 13:21-20

There is a great deal of information in this passage. The 12 disciples were in the upper room with Jesus for the Passover Supper (Luk 22:12). Jesus announces one of them will betray Him. Notice twice it is mentioned the Apostle John is leaning against Jesus. Will come back to this in a minute. Jesus said He will give the sop (son of Perdition) to the one that will betray Him. Immediately Satan entered Judas and Jesus said, “That thou doest, do quickly”. Luk 22:24 points out there was bickering among the disciples of who would be greatest, so much that they missed the fact Judas was the son of perdition, the Antichrist. “For some of them thought, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus had said unto him, Buy those things that we have need of against the feast; or, that he should give something to the poor.” Judas immediately left the room and went out into the night (darkness, tribulation). While the Church is still on the earth, the antichrists will go out from the Church, “Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us” 1 John 2:18-19.  The scene in John 13 above paints a picture of the disciples in the upper room (Heaven) in the presence and safety of Jesus – remember the Apostle John leaning on Jesus, while the Antichrist goes out into the world (the night, darkness) to conquer and betray the world. With the 2nd coming of the Antichrist, the Church will go up, the falling away, then the son of perdition will be made manifest to the world. I had written before that the falling away might be the Jewish people’s acceptance of the Antichrist, but that no longer seems to be the case after more research.

Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 2 Thes. 2:3
And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,  And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.  And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. 2 Thes. 2:6-12

This time the Church falls away or falls out, taken out as seen in the above verse. The Church/Holy Spirit withholdeth until he be taken out. What is this “strong delusion” spoken of here? What is the lie they shall believe?

And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven Revelation 13:1-6.

According to this passage, some world leader will be wounded to death, and then his deadly wound will heal, and he will be resurrected, possible 3 days latter mimicking that of our Lord. Zechariah makes mention of this deadly wound. Woe to the idol shepherd that leaveth the flock! the sword shall be upon his arm, and upon his right eye: his arm shall be clean dried up, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened Zechariah 11:17. He will lose the use of his right arm and right eye.

That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place Acts 1:25. Judas hung himself after he betrayed Jesus. God took his spirit to “his own place” not hell, until the time of the final Antichrist. When this world leader is assassinated, it seems God will resurrect him but this time with the spirit of Judas. I am speculating here, but the Lord creates evil to do His will. “I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things” Isaiah 45:7. Once again Satan will have power over him as he did during the Passover supper. When the people of the world see this “strong delusion”, sent by God, they will all worship the beast and believe a lie. Note that the Antichrist is not given “a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies” until after his deadly wound is healed. Therefore, anyone looking for the Antichrist will not find such a charismatic and a world leader prior to this event. Also note the Antichrist will blaspheme not only God and His tabernacle, but “them that dwell in Heaven”, that is us, the Church! That is why it’s called the “Blessed Hope”.

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

 

My King

by atharris, posted in Ministry

Blessed am I

That my King had to die

For Risen is He

To liberate me

From the virgin womb

To the sealed and guarded Tomb

A life of Faith

Towards the One who makes straight

The Blood of His sacrifice

Never offered twice

The Devil met his doom

When He rose from the Tomb

Blessed am I that my King had to die

Darkness

by atharris, posted in Prophecy, Wonders in Heaven and Signs in the Earth

One of the most important and overlooked verses in the Bible. Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 2 Timothy 2:15.

Why is it important? To understand the Bible, the way God intended us too, we must ‘rightly’ divide the word of truth. Many Christians will only perform a cursory reading of the Bible; missing much of the deeper truths that it reveals.  Others will refuse to look beyond the first principals of Christ, affirming the Gospel is enough for them. However, the Word says, “Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,” Heb. 6:1. In other words, Jesus is the foundation. Without Him we can go no further, but once the foundation is laid, one must continue to build upon the house so it may be ‘approved’ to live in rather than constantly laying down the foundation or abandoning the foundation altogether.

So how does one ‘rightly’ divide the Word? There are many ways. This post will be one such example, but it will only work using the KJV. The following will be a good deal of scripture to read but promises a blessing for the reader at the end. We will look at the word “darkness” within the Bible to understand how God determines its meaning.

The most abundant condition in the universe is darkness. Certainly, God is the creator of darkness (Isa 45:7, Isa 50:3), however, unlike light, it has no source. It just exists. Why is most of the universe in darkness and why has God never called darkness “good” in all of scripture?  

 

– For the enemies of God, darkness is used as a judgement.

And the Lord said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt. 22 And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven; and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days: 23 They saw not one another, neither rose any from his place for three days: but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings. Exodus 10:21-23
Woe unto you that desire the day of the Lord! to what end is it for you? the day of the Lord is darkness, and not light. 19 As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him. 20 Shall not the day of the Lord be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it? 21 I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies. 22 Though ye offer me burnt offerings and your meat offerings, I will not accept them: neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat beasts. 23 Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols. 24 But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream. Amos 5:18-24
But with an overrunning flood he will make an utter end of the place thereof, and darkness shall pursue his enemies. Nahum 1:8
Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron; 11 Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High: Psalm 107:10-11

– Darkness is used as a divider.

And the angel of God, which went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went from before their face, and stood behind them: 20 And it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and it was a cloud and darkness to them, but it gave light by night to these: so that the one came not near the other all the night.Exodus 14:19-20

– Darkness is linked to “death” and “without any order”

Before I go whence I shall not return, even to the land of darkness and the shadow of death; 22 A land of darkness, as darkness itself; and of the shadow of death, without any order, and where the light is as darkness. Job 10:21-22    
And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour. 45 And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst. 46 And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost. Luke 23:44-46

– Darkness is equated with evil the opposite of goodness.

When I looked for good, then evil came unto me: and when I waited for light, there came darkness. Job 30:26
Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Isa 5:20
And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. John 3:19

– Darkness is connected to God’s wrath.

I Am the man that hath seen affliction by the rod of his wrath. 2 He hath led me, and brought me into darkness, but not into light. 3 Surely against me is he turned; he turneth his hand against me all the day. Lamentations 3:1-3
That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness, Zeph 1:15

– Darkness is the “way of the wicked”.

The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble. Proverb 4:19

– Darkness is a servant separated from the King.

Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness, there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Mat 22:13

– Forsaken of God is darkness.

Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour. 46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? Mat 27:45-46

– Darkness signifies a betrayal against God.

Then Jesus said unto the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and the elders, which were come to him, Be ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and staves? 53 When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched forth no hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness. Luke 22:52-53

– Darkness is associated with spiritual wickedness in high places.

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. Eph. 6:12

– Darkness is linked to sin, death, judgement, and hell.

For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; 2 Peter 2:4

– Where God “dwells”, there is no darkness.

This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. 1 John 1:5
And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof. Rev. 21:23

– Darkness is associated to rebellion against God.

And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. Jude 1:6
Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever. Jude 1:13

If you have made it this far, congratulations. You have a definitive understanding of how God uses “darkness”. Now for the test. Using what you just learned, what happened in two of the most misunderstood verses in the bible?

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. Genesis 1:1-2

For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:  2Pe 3:5

 

 

 

Israel turns 76 Today

by atharris, posted in But as the Days of Noah were, Ministry, Prophecy

Today is the 76th anniversary for the independence of the State of Israel. Next year Israel will be 77 years old. 77, did you catch that? Seven, the biblical number of the program of God on behalf of man. 

And Lamech lived an hundred eighty and two years, and begat a son: 29 And he called his name Noah, saying, This same shall comfort us concerning our work and toil of our hands, because of the ground which the LORD hath cursed. 30 And Lamech lived after he begat Noah five hundred ninety and five years, and begat sons and daughters: 31 And all the days of Lamech were seven hundred seventy and seven years: and he died.

Lamech, the father of Noah lived 777 years. “But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, 39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.” Mat. 24:37-39

Just saying….
