Rich Folks Building Bunkers

We have posted our ideas about rich folks building bunkers and how this could fulfill prophecy.  Today we ran across a dude from Nearing Midnight segment from Rapture Ready and he also has some good comments about these bunkers and sees in them the same fulfillment that we do.

**********************

 The Building of Bunkers Fulfills Biblical Prophecy

Did you know that the Bible long ago prophesied that this would happen in the last days? Who would have thought that Mr. Zuckerberg’s behavior fulfills biblical prophecy? But it does.

The Lord told the prophet Isaiah that during the last days, people would hide in holes in the ground to escape the terrors of the Day of the Lord:

“And the haughtiness of man shall be humbled,
and the lofty pride of men shall be brought low,
and the Lord alone will be exalted in that day.
And the idols shall utterly pass away.
And people shall enter the caves of the rocks
and the holes of the ground,
from before the terror of the Lord,
and from the splendor of his majesty,
when he rises to terrify the earth”
 (Isaiah 2:17-19, my emphasis)

Skipping forward to Revelation 6:15-17, we read that John witnessed and recorded the future fulfillment of these words from Isaiah 2:

“Then the kings of the earth and the great ones and the generals and the rich and the powerful, and everyone, slave and free, hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains, calling to the mountains and rocks, ‘Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who is seated on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb, for the great day of their wrath has come, and who can stand?’”

In the future, it won’t be just the rich and powerful seeking refuge amid the terrors of the Day of the Lord wrath, but a wide variety of people during the Tribulation period will seek to hide from His judgments.

What Does This Tell Us About the Time in Which We Live?

The vast majority, if not all, of those seeking underground protection from doomsday scenarios don’t believe the Bible. Most regard our warnings of God’s future judgment on the earth as foolishness.

Does it not seem strangely ironic that their behavior points to the soon fulfillment of Revelation chapter 6, which they consider to be foolishness?

They recognize that devastating wars, economic turmoil, and deadly natural disasters lie on the horizon, but they remain blind to how these things point to the Lord’s soon intervention in the world. However, by the time the sixth seal comes upon them, they will recognize the terrors overspreading the planet as resulting “from the wrath of the Lamb” (Revelation 6:17).

If the elite recognize the nearness of the Day of the Lord perils such as we see in Revelation 6 (despite not identifying them as such), does this not tell us that such things are near? These billionaires look at what lies ahead with unbelieving eyes and ignorance of Bible prophecy; yet, by their behavior tell us that we live in the last days when these things are about to take place.

Should this not be a wake-up call to pastors who claim to know and believe what God’s Word says but persist in pushing the Lord’s intervention in our world to a far distant end of the age event?

I also find it curious that Mark Zuckerberg and his fellow billionaires are acting in ways that seem likely to frighten others as they seek to escape rather than use their money to divert the catastrophes they see coming. When we tell people about what the Bible says is coming to our world, they say we are trying to scare people. Even fellow believers accuse us of being escapists who don’t care about people or life today.

Don’t believe the mockers of our day. It’s Bible prophecy that provides the most genuine comfort amid the perils of our day. Furthermore, I have observed that the ones looking for Jesus’ imminent appearing are among those most likely to give sacrificially to alleviate the suffering of our world.

I’m not saying we should not take precautions in a world fraught with danger and perhaps maintain a backup supply of food and water. However, our hope for the future rests in Jesus alone.

We don’t know when He will appear to take us to Heaven or the timing of the destruction that’s coming upon the world, but based upon what the Bible tells us, we know these things:

  1. We surely live in the season of the Rapture.
  2. Jesus will soon appear; He will surely intervene in our world.
  3. The destruction anticipated by the elite will happen after we are safely in glory with Jesus.
  4. The underground bunkers will not save them from the wrath that’s coming upon planet Earth.

The Hittites Show Up on Google News

 You don’t have to read in Genesis very long before you read of the Hittites.  Ham was a son of Noah who survived the flood and ended up dishonoring his father when he found Noah drunk.  As a result Noah cursed Ham’s son, Canaan.  Canaan ended up being a major enemy of the Jews called the Canaanites.  Canaan also became the father of the Hittites.  If you have an online Bible do a search of the word Hittite and read about where they came up.

Ultimately they end up in the Promised Land while the Jews are spending 400 years in Egypt.  And ultimately they become an enemy to God and He tells the Israelites to drive them all out of the Promised Land and to kill them all.

Completely destroy them—the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites—as the Lord your God has commanded you.  Deuteronomy 20:17

A funny thing showed up on Google News this morning;  a story about the Hittites!  Once again we have archeologists confirming what the Bible has reported all along.

***********************

Based on the typology and distribution of the collected pottery shards, Büklükale is thought to be a single-period city belonging to the Hittite Empire Period and having a diameter of 500 m.

The palm-size tablet was found in May 2023 by Kimiyoshi Matsumura, an archaeologist at the Japanese Institute of Anatolian Archaeology, amid the Hittite ruins at Büklükale.

The Hittites used the Hurrian language for religious ceremonies, Matsumura told Live Science, and it appears that the tablet is a record of a sacred ritual performed by the Hittite king.

Archaeologists have unearthed a 3,300-year-old clay tablet depicting a catastrophic foreign invasion of the Hittite Empire in Büklükale, about 100 km from Turkey’s capital Ankara.

A translation of the tablet’s cuneiform text indicates that the invasion occurred during a Hittite civil war, presumably in an attempt to support one of the fighting factions.

Previously, only broken clay tablets had been found in the excavations at Büklükale, but this one is in almost perfect condition.

Red Heifers and Temple Continues to Chatter

 Most of my readers know the story about the red heifer and how the Jews need the ashes of one to purify the Temple.  Many of them believe that God will send them the heifer when He is about to allow them to build the Third Temple.  The Hamas Muslims are even worried about such because they decided to invade Israel on October 7th in part to stop the heifers and Temple chatter.

Game changing developments are happening right now in Israel concerning the Third Temple. Probably the most critical missing link preventing the rebuilding of the Temple, is set to fall into place within months with crucial help from Christians. 

Meanwhile Hamas is watching the developments closely and have even claimed it to be a major part of their motivation for the heinous Oct. 7 terror attack. With tensions already at boiling point across the Middle East, will we shortly see Israel take bold steps towards rebuilding the Temple? 

Christian Rancher Provides the Missing Link

The final missing piece of the Third Temple project - the infamous ashes of a red heifer - is now only months away from falling into place. Theses ashes are Biblically mandated for purification in a range of situations including contact with dead bodies (see Num. 19). 

Without the red heifer ashes, priests and Levites currently in training with the Temple Institute are disqualified from serving in a future rebuilt Temple. Furthermore, with all the bloodshed on the Temple Mount down through the centuries, the Mount itself must be cleansed before the Temple can be built.

The problem is that finding an unblemished red heifer is extremely rare. In recent years, Temple activists have had their efforts end in frustration time and again. Potential red heifer candidates have been located with great excitement, only to end up later developing white hairs or getting otherwise disqualified before they reach the required age to be sacrificed. 

It was in this context that Byron Stinson, a Christian rancher from Texas, baffled Rabbis in 2022 as he invited them to his ranch to inspect what turned out to be five unblemished red heifers.

What happened next sounds almost like it was taken from a Hollywood movie script as the heifers were airlifted to Israel at around 1 year old (how do you even go about flying cows to the Holy Land?). Being greeted at the airport with a special ceremony officiated by Rabbis, the heifers were then taken out of the public eye to continue being quietly and meticulously groomed for the sacrifice. 

Although one of the five was disqualified last year due to the emergence of a few white hairs, the remaining four remain on track to be eligible to be sacrificed this year. According to All Israel News, Temple Institute Rabbis hope to perform this ceremony prior to Passover this year while other sources claim it will happen sometime between Passover and Pentecost.  

Linking Cows and Terror

While the story of the flight of the five heifers to Israel and their subsequent journey has certainly stirred great excitement among Temple activists as well as Christian students of Bible Prophecy, it curiously hardly got a mention in mainstream Israeli news. 

It will surprise many Christians to discover that by and large, secular Israelis are uninterested and unaware of these developments. In addition, many Orthodox Jews are opposed to the any current moves to rebuild the Temple as most hold that it can only be rebuilt by the Messiah in the Messianic era. 

However, the radical Islamic world understands the significance of the arrival of the red heifers and are incensed by their presence. It was no co-incidence that Hamas called its infamous and deadly October 7 terror attack "Operation Al Aqsa Flood". Speaking at the 100 day mark of the current war with Israel, Abu Obeida, a military spokesman for Hamas, said that the aggression against "our path and Al-Aqsa" reached its peak with the "bringing of red cows."

Hamas' passionate calls for the 'liberation' of the Al Aqsa mosque from the Israeli threat, hits receptive ears in the Islamic world. Highlighting the broad level of Islamic concern for this site, the Organization of Islamic Co-Operation was founded in 1969 with the specific goal of protecting the Al-Aqsa mosque. Today this influential organization boasts 56 member states and is the second largest intergovernmental organization in the world after the UN.

Will there be a Third Temple?

Israeli government officials of all persuasions are highly aware of Islamic sensitivities concerning the Temple Mount and have through the years repeatedly committed themselves to maintaining the 'status quo' on the Temple Mount for this very reason.

While the ashes of a red heifer may become available in the next few months,  the Temple rebuilding project still seems unrealistic in the current environment. The fears of the Israeli government leaders of sparking all out war, combined with the lack of interest and even outright opposition from many Israelis to the project, makes it seem completely impossible.


Remember, we don't need heifers and Temples for Jesus to come for us today, next week or next month.  These are signs of things that will most likely happen during the 70th Week of Daniel.  But the fact that the Jews and Muslims are talking about such things should make us understand the Great Tribulation could be right around the corner...and the rapture comes first!  Maranatha!

Jews Aren't Allowed in Muslim Nations

 As the depraved, godless world cries for Palestine and demands that Israel commit suicide in order to appease their Jew-hatred, you simply can't understand what is happening unless you have a biblical worldview.

Understand that Jews aren't welcome in Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, and every other Muslim nation.  When Israel declared independence in 1948 all those nations chased the Jews out and demanded they go to the Jewish place along the sea.  They next believed that once the Jews were all there they could attack them with their armies, kill them all, drive them into the sea and take what was left.

So how crazy must you be, when Muslims say NO JEWS!, to demand that Israel accept Muslims into their society??  IN fact they call the Jews racists and bigots if they try and limit access into Israel by Muslims but NEVER point out the double standard!!

And now we have US Senators and President saying that Israel really MUST give the Muslims another terror state even though they STILL ARE HOLDING JEWISH HOSTAGES!!!!

While the Biden administration and the European Union were working on creating a "Palestinian" state, the real details were being fleshed out in Moscow, where the Palestinian Authority, Hamas and other terrorist groups were meeting.

The summit, convened at the Institute of Oriental Studies, once a vehicle for Soviet influence operations in the Third World, brought together Azzam al-Ahmada, a member of the PLO Executive Committee, and Mousa Abu Marzouk, a top Hamas leader, as well as a representative for Islamic Jihad, the PFLP, DFLP and other terror groups.

The goal of all these terrorists coming together was to create a "technocratic government".

What is a "technocratic government"? It's a front for the terrorists and composed of nonprofit executives, academics, economists and others who have experience dealing with the international community and extracting foreign aid from them.

Hamas will not officially be part of the puppet regime, but will control the puppets.

"I hear a lot internationally, did Hamas agree? It's none of your business," Husam Zomlot, the Palestinian Authority's ambassador to the United Kingdom told The Financial Times, adding, "About Hamas -- there are ongoing discussions... but this government is a technocratic government, it's not made of any political factions, because this is not the time for political factions."

That's what the Biden administration and the EU want to hear, but while Qatar is helping assemble a new "technocratic" front for the terrorists, the Moscow summit made it clear that the real agenda of the new government would be terror against Israel and the U.S.

The PLO-Hamas-Islamic Jihad summit in Moscow concluded with a commitment to "national unity that embraces all Palestinian forces and factions within the framework of the Palestine Liberation Organization" and laid out the main goals, beginning with "confronting Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, the West Bank and Jerusalem, which is carried out with the support, assistance and participation of the United States."

The only actual point of unity for the Islamic terrorist groups that met in Moscow was fighting Israel. And that will be the only mission of any regime they put into place.

According to a report from the Lebanese Al-Mayadeen, "the statement expressed support for the resilient Palestinian people and their Resistance, particularly in Gaza, the occupied West Bank, and al-Quds... and providing assistance to the families of martyrs." Translated into ordinary English, that means supporting the Hamas attacks on Israel and providing funding for the Islamic terrorists and their families.

Hamas won't be out front, but the new "technocratic government" will work for it.

"The time now is not for a government where Hamas will be part of it, because, in this case, then it will be boycotted by a number of countries, as happened before," Palestinian Authority Foreign Minister Riyad al-Maliki told the UN correspondents' association. "We don't want to be in a situation like that. We want to be accepted and engaging fully with the international community."

It isn't time yet for Hamas to be part of the government until the puppet regime has managed to pump the international community for money and diplomatic recognition. And the Biden administration and the EU are only too eager to provide both.

The only question is whether Hamas will be willing to go along this time. Every previous unity proposal had blown over this same issue, but this time Israel has Hamas on the ropes, and this may be the terror group's only survival strategy. In Moscow, Hamas signed on the bottom line of a unity statement endorsing the PLO as the representatives of the "Palestinian" people.

It was only appropriate since the "Palestinians" had been invented not in the Middle East, but in Moscow, under the old Soviet apparatchiks who are still running things now. They include Putin's Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov, who convened the summit. Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas composed his Holocaust denial thesis while studying at Moscow's Patrice Lumumba University, which had trained a generation of third world terrorists, and Abbas allegedly worked under Bogdanov as a KGB asset using the code name "mole".

At the Moscow summit, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told the representatives of the PLO, Hamas, Islamic Jihad and half a dozen other terror groups that Abbas had "changed the government, dismissed the previous one, and began the process of selecting new technocratic ministers," which the Putin official hoped "will contribute to the intensification of the inter-Palestinian dialogue."

What the Moscow summit revealed was that the only "inter-Palestinian dialogue" would be between different terrorist groups. Whatever puppets might be out front in the "technocratic government", the actual government would be the terrorists.

The Biden administration and the rest of the international community are eager to solve the problem posed by October 7, Israel's campaign against Hamas, and the domestic Muslim outrage in the West, by doubling down on the 'two-state solution' and creating a "Palestinian" terrorist state.

Remember that hundreds of millions of Muslims believe the saying, "First the Saturday people, then the Sunday people."  Of course this means they will first try to conquer and control the Jews and then they will turn their full attention on conquering and controlling the Christians.  And how many Democrats in power have ANY IDEA THAT THIS IS THE PLAN OF ISLAM??



Senator Chuck Schumer Blasts Netanyahu

 Senator Shumer is a Jew and he's also a leading Democrat.  No big surprise that American Jews tend to be Democrats.  It must have something to do with the temporary blindness that God has inflicted them with until the "fullness of the gentiles come in".

The headlines today are telling us that Senator Schumer is demanding that Israeli's have a new election and toss out Netanyahu.  Who the heck does he think he is??

In the speech, Schumer expressed concerns that Netanyahu’s clear rejection of a two-state solution, in which Palestinians would have their own country, will mean a future of constant war and isolation for Israelis. He laid out what he describes as four main obstacles to peace and a two-state solution — the existence of Hamas and Palestinians who support the group, right-wing Israelis in government and society, and 88-year-old Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, whom he described as a “terrible” leader of Palestinians in the West Bank. The fourth obstacle was Netanyahu himself.

“He has put himself in coalition with far-right extremists like Ministers [Bezalel] Smotrich and [Itamar] Ben-Gvir, and as a result, he has been too willing to tolerate the civilian toll in Gaza, which is pushing support for Israel worldwide to historic lows,” Schumer said, referencing two of Netanyahu’s radical cabinet ministers who have called for permanently pushing Palestinians out of Gaza. “Israel cannot survive if it becomes a pariah.”

The Senate majority leader said he understands some Israelis’ fears that a Palestinian state could make Israelis more vulnerable to attack, and lamented that more Palestinian leaders have not rejected Hamas. But he pushed both sides to reject what he called “from-the-river-to-the-sea thinking,” a reference to a slogan that often refers to one group controlling the entire territory occupied by both Palestinians and Israelis.

“The bitter reality is that a single state controlled by Israel, which they advocate, guarantees certain war forever, and further isolation of the Jewish community in the world to the extent that its future would be jeopardized,” he said.

Netanyahu’s opposition to a two-state solution and refusal to engage responsibly in a “day after” discussion of what Gaza will look like after the war disqualifies him from the position, Schumer suggested.

“The U.S. government should demand that Israel conduct itself with a future two-state solution in mind,” Schumer said. “We should not be forced into a position of unequivocally supporting the actions of an Israeli government that includes bigots who reject the idea of a Palestinian state.”

Here;  Sen. Schumer to call for new elections in Israel in speech on Netanyahu - The Washington Post

We aren't sure if this type of chatter by a US Senator is actually a cursing of the Jews?  He wrongly says that "Israel can't survive if it become a pariah."  Clearly he is biblically illiterate because Israel's survival as a nation has NOTHING to do with what the world thinks or does and ONLY to do with what God has already said and done!

And of course he calls anyone who disagrees with him IN THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT "bigots".

It would be really interesting if Uncle Chuck suffered some type of "hand of God" discipline for sticking his nose into something that has nothing to do with him.  He sits in his ivory tower, bathed in American wealth and power, and makes demands on a few millions Jews on the other side of the world who are already surrounded by millions of Muslims who dream of killing them all.

Unbelievable.

If Trump Wins, Expect Attacks Against Christians to Skyrocket

Folks on the Left may believe they are the peaceful protesters but in reality they are the ones who go bat-crap crazy at the slightest reason when they feel offended.  They believe that Christians are Trump’s most ardent supporters, and maybe they are, and that if Trump wins it will be the Christian’s fault.  They believe that a Trump election will spell the end of American democracy and they are being prepped to not accept it.  Attacks on churches are already way up in the past 5 years and we could expect them to skyrocket if Trump wins.  Don’t be surprised when people hate you.  They hated Jesus first.  But Jesus, this is America!  Founded by God-fearing people!!  Yep, and how quickly folks forget.  Once peace, safety and wealth come our way…who needs God?

******************

As I have warned my readers numerous times, we are entering the most chaotic election season in U.S. history.


The Lincoln Project is already releasing ominous videos warning that Trump will become a dictator, and hordes of liberal pundits are breathlessly telling us that another Trump presidency will be the end of America as we know it today.

There are millions of leftists that are deeply internalizing this messaging, and if Trump wins they will be ready for action.

A recent New York Post article explained that if Trump is able to get back into the White House "some portion of the left will convince itself that only a color revolution can save the country"...

And if Trump emerges victorious and the alleged dictatorship is underway in earnest?

Certainly, the reaction will make the pro-Hamas protests that have roiled college campuses and disrupted transportation nodes around the country look small-scale by comparison.

If the republic is supposedly on the verge of falling, extralegal means of resistance are justified.

At least some portion of the left will convince itself that only a color revolution can save the country.

I wish that I could tell you that such claims are exaggerated.

But the truth is that leftists are already buzzing about a "revolution" all over social media.

And politicians on the left are certainly not helping matters.  For example, Bernie Sanders insists that another Trump presidency will mean "the collapse of American democracy"...

A second Trump presidency would be much more extreme than the first. "He's made that clear," says Sanders. "There's a lot of personal bitterness, he's a bitter man, having gone through four indictments, humiliated, he's going to take it out on his enemies. We've got to explain to the American people what that means to them - what the collapse of American democracy will mean to all of us."

Putin Threatens Nukes Again

 Why bother having weapons unless you are prepared to use them, says Putin.  We learned yesterday that China has built tunnels to survive a nuclear exchange.  America will not be able to keep sending all our missiles, tanks and bullets to Ukraine forever and still have enough left for ourselves to fight China when they invade Taiwan.  

I know some of my readers believe that all of this news is pointing to their belief that God is soon going to spark a massive Jesus revival in America.  I agree that God can do anything He wants when He wants.  But I also know that Jesus said the world will be as it was in the days of Noah before He returns, and those days were marked by violence, evil and outright rejection of God by virtually everyone.  Those days did not lead to revival but to judgment.  I believe that’s where we are.  That’s also why I believe we should not be surprised if Jesus comes quickly to catch away His bride.

*******************

President Vladimir Putin said Wednesday that Russia's nuclear triad — its three-pronged arsenal of weapons launched from land, sea and air — was "much more" advanced than that of the United States. 

"Our triad, the nuclear triad, it is more modern than any other triad. Only we and the Americans actually have such triads. And we have advanced much more here," Putin said in an interview on state TV.

Putin's nuclear war rhetoric

Putin said Moscow's nuclear weapons are fully ready and "from the military-technical viewpoint, we're prepared" to use them in case there's a threat to "the existence of the Russian state, our sovereignty and independence," according to The Associated Press.

The tough talk comes before a presidential election this week that Putin is almost assured of winning to give him another six-year term.

China Has Dug a Huge Tunnel System as They Prep for War With USA

 What the heck is China up to?  It would appear they are making plans to dominate the world and that will be really hard to do without a direct confrontation with America.  So today we read about some type of massive tunnels that they are making.  Maybe they realize that the future belongs to those who can survive a nuclear exchange??  What else could it be?  Unlike Hamas, they aren't trying to tunnel into enemy territory, so what gives?

At a time when their economy is really struggling, the Chinese are increasing military spending and ramping up preparations for war.  But who is China preparing to fight a war with?  Needless to say, the answer to that question is obvious.  

Yes, the border dispute between India and China could erupt into something significant, but that is not likely.  The only other opponent that the Chinese would be fighting a major war with would be the United States.  And right now, Chinese shipyards are churning out military vessels at a pace that the U.S. simply cannot match...

 The US cannot match the pace of building in the shipyards of Shanghai, which have already turned out two new aircraft carriers with a third expected to begin sea trials soon.

The latest vessel, the Fujian, features catapults to launch heavy, fixed-wing aircraft with immense bomb payloads. These shipyards are also building a new type of amphibious assault vessel, and many roll-on, roll-off ferries, which could have a dual purpose - transporting cars in peacetime, and armored assault vehicles in the event of an attack on a neighbor, such as Taiwan.

Of even greater concern is the vast network of tunnels that the Chinese have been constructing.

We are being told that this network of tunnels makes the Hamas tunnels under Gaza "look like holes scooped by children in a sandpit"...

While the West has been scaling back its military spending in favour of welfare and healthcare, China has been building artificial islands as naval bases and airfields. Less obvious but more ominous, it has also been digging a vast network of tunnels and bunkers that make the Hamas warrens in Gaza look like holes scooped by children in a sandpit.

The Chinese tunnels stretch for hundreds of miles and their plans are so closely guarded that Western intelligence agencies have little idea what is down there.

Domestic spies in the pay of the West, who have attempted to smuggle out information, have been caught and executed.

Nobody knows why China has been putting so much effort into these tunnels.

Are they anticipating that vast numbers of Chinese will need to shelter underground during an apocalyptic conflict with the United States?

In recent years, the Chinese have been feverishly upgrading and expanding their strategic nuclear arsenal...

Most alarming of all is the build-up of nuclear missiles. Throughout the Cold War, though China has been a nuclear power from the mid-1960s, its atomic arsenal was limited. 

By the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, the People's Liberation Army had only 30 or 40 long-range nuclear missiles - because that, it believed, was more than enough. As President Deng Xiaoping chillingly taunted American journalists: 'How many Los Angeles can you afford to lose?'

That policy has changed. More than 100 nuclear missiles with multiple warheads have already been built and armed, with production expected to exceed 500 by the end of this decade, if not sooner.

The moment the Chinese invade Taiwan, they know that it will mean war with the United States.

If that war is limited to conventional weaponry, the Chinese will win a war in Taiwan, and every war game that our leaders have conducted in recent years has shown this.

The U.S. could try to threaten China with nukes, but if China now possesses enough missiles to wipe out dozens of U.S. cities our leaders may not want to risk a nuclear confrontation.

The Chinese know that most battles are won before they are ever fought.

So they are trying to position themselves for a positive outcome before the very first missile is fired at Taiwan.

NPR Article Mentions Rebuilding 3rd Temple

 The most Holy piece of land on earth is under a microscope again.  Solomon built his temple there.  After the Babylonian exile the Temple was rebuilt so could be called the Second Temple or most call it Herod’s Temple.  This would have been the temple in place when Jesus was on earth.  And now the Muslims might start freaking out as they realize there will be a 3rd Temple.  How it gets built, whether or not the Antichrist is involved, whether or not the Dome of the Rock will stand next to it…nobody knows!  But how interesting that an NPR article mentions “building the third temple”.

*************************

Last week, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said Israel would allow access to Al-Aqsa as it had in previous years – when nearly everyone was allowed – at least for the first week. Each following week during the month-long holiday would be assessed afterward, Netanyahu's office said, overruling the far-right minister of national security Itamar Ben-Gvir, who advocated for a near blanket ban, including on Muslims with Israeli citizenship.

The Jerusalem district command for the Israel police did not respond to NPR's request for comment.

The compound, which Muslims refer to as Al Haram Al Sharif, is made up of the iconic Dome of The Rock, the Al-Aqsa mosque – with the smaller gray dome, museums and other institutions – and is on a site that is holy to both Muslims and Jews, who know it as the Temple Mount, where the ancient temple stood 2,000 years ago.

As part of a longstanding agreement aimed at maintaining religious balance since Israel captured the old city from Jordan in 1967, Muslims pray at Al-Aqsa, while Jews pray at the Western Wall, the base of the ancient second temple. But a growing movement of ultra-Orthodox and ultra-nationalist Jews have been going to the compound to pray, accompanied by Israeli police. A small but increasingly vocal group talks about building the third temple where the Dome of the Rock currently stands.

Anyone Talking About a Palestinian State Must be Brain Dead

 Rewarding the Arabs who just carried out the largest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust and is still holding hostages, has to be about the stupidest thing someone could say right now…but that’s exactly what Biden and the Democrats are all suggesting.  Biden was brain dead enough to say so during his State of the Union.  Why would Israel agree to have another nation run by Muslims, sworn to their destruction, sitting right on their border?

*************************

In 2005, Israel unilaterally withdrew 8,500 Jewish residents and all military infrastructure in the Gaza Strip.

The Strip, the control of which was handed over to the PA, was the pilot project for an independent Palestinian entity. Within two years, control of the Strip was wrestled away by Hamas. Since then, Israel has suffered countless attacks, including the firing of more than 50,000 rockets at Israel, the building of a 500-mile-long underground terror tunnel infrastructure, the kidnapping of Israeli citizens, and the worst massacre in Israel’s history on Oct. 7.

The massacre proved Israeli fears correct—that an independent Palestinian state would be a launchpad for continuous terror and an existential threat to the Jewish state. And yet the international community is now doubling down on calls for Palestinian statehood, regardless of the Palestinians’ inability to deliver Israel peace in exchange for the land it seeks.

Vatican Urges Catholics to Pray With Muslims

I’m all for having conversations with Muslims in America.  How else do you evangelize lost people if you won’t talk to them?  But you must understand that Muslims are not going to eternal life with Jesus if they refuse to reject Islam and worship the risen Christ.  God says it over and over that He is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.  He is not the god of Ishmael.  Real simple.  As the Last Days comes upon us we must remember there will be a huge push for a one-world religion and it will be a false one.
Church MilitantIn comments to the Catholic Herald, Islamic scholar Robert Spencer explained that “the idea of Ramadan providing a possibility of outreach to Muslims is a tragicomic display of the failures and inherent limitations of the ‘dialogue’ imperative”.
Islamic scholar Robert Spencer said he was disturbed by the Vatican’s “assumptions that arise from Vatican II declarations about Muslims together with us adoring the God of Abraham.”
“By participating in iftars, Christians are helping celebrate an imperative to conquer and subjugate them,” he noted. “Iftar is not just a meal. It is the breaking of the Ramadan fast every evening. Ramadan is a month devoted to intensifying one’s observance of Islam and growing more righteous.”
“In Islam, the most righteous deed of all is jihad, which most prominently involves warfare against and the subjugation of non-Muslims. A hadith has a Muslim asking Muhammad: ‘Instruct me as to such a deed as equals Jihad (in reward).’ Muhammad replied, ‘I do not find such a deed’ (Bukhari 4.52.44),” Spencer explained.
Author of the bestselling The History of Jihad: From Muhammad to ISIS, the historian told Church Militant he was also shocked by the Vatican drawing a parallel “between the destruction of churches and mosques in this age or any age.”
“Such equivalence demonstrates historical illiteracy as throughout history thousands, if not tens of thousands, of churches have been turned into mosques in order to demonstrate the superiority of Islam over Christianity, and the victory of Muslims over Christians,” Spencer observed.

Summoning Up Demons?

 Artificial Intelligence is 100% a “Very Last Days” phenomenon.  How do you control an intelligence that doubles its knowledge every few days and will have read every book ever published in the entire world in the next few months?  How will you control a machine who is the best computer hacker in the world?  And certainly we all know that it won’t take AI very long to realize that humans are the problem behind all bad things on earth.  We are the murderers, the thieves, the polluters, rapists, drug addicts, porn addicts and the folks who hold the keys to nuclear destruction.  So how long before AI tries to shut off the worst offenders on planet earth, humans?  And as a Bible believer, we can be quite certain that Satan and his minions will be inside the AI machines leading the way in some global plot to kill all humans.  He came to  murder and destroy and AI will almost certainly be part of the Great Tribulation on the prophetic horizon.

***************************

The first troubling headline I saw stated, “Ex-Google Executive Anthony Levandowski is Founding a Church Where People Worship an Artificial Intelligence God.”

The second headline read, “Why Humans Will Happily Follow a Robot Messiah.”

I started watching videos online of robots who look human and who “think.” They answer questions and seem to process real thoughts. Developers of these robots say someday they will solve society’s problems. Such men also believe that it is possible for artificial intelligence to be a billion times smarter than humans. Try to process that!

Various leaders in the field of “AI” have made some of the following statements:

  • “The human era could be ending and machines will take over.”
  • “He who develops AI rules the world. We aren’t going to be able to control it.”
  • “We are summoning up demons.”
  • “We are playing with fire.”
  • “This is one of the dumbest things we can do.”
  • “Soon robots will walk among us. They will play with us, teach us, and they will truly be our friends.”
  • “AI will be smarter than humans and will become a god.”
  • “AI could become the worst event in the history of civilization.”
  • “In the end, the machines will win.”

Maybe this new religion isn’t the promise of paradise after all. Some promoting AI are evangelists and some of them offer a new Promised Land. But some of the very movers and shakers of the artificial intelligence industry are sounding serious warnings.

Red Heifers Ready for the Passover?

 We already know that a Bible believer from Texas came up with the red heifers and they are in Israel awaiting the day that maybe they will be used to make the ashes that will purify the priest.  And we already know that Hamas and the agents of Satan are watching this curious development and even credited their decision to invade Israel on October 7 because of their awareness of the red heifers.

Can this story get any stranger??  You simply can't make this stuff up!!

As the article says, most secular Jews are totally unaware of what is going on with the Temple and the red heifers...because they don't read their scriptures just like most Americans don't read their Bibles.

Game changing developments are happening right now in Israel concerning the Third Temple. Probably the most critical missing link preventing the rebuilding of the Temple, is set to fall into place within months with crucial help from Christians. 

Meanwhile Hamas is watching the developments closely and have even claimed it to be a major part of their motivation for the heinous Oct. 7 terror attack. With tensions already at boiling point across the Middle East, will we shortly see Israel take bold steps towards rebuilding the Temple? 

Christian Rancher Provides the Missing Link

The final missing piece of the Third Temple project - the infamous ashes of a red heifer - is now only months away from falling into place. Theses ashes are Biblically mandated for purification in a range of situations including contact with dead bodies (see Num. 19). 

Without the red heifer ashes, priests and Levites currently in training with the Temple Institute are disqualified from serving in a future rebuilt Temple. Furthermore, with all the bloodshed on the Temple Mount down through the centuries, the Mount itself must be cleansed before the Temple can be built.

The problem is that finding an unblemished red heifer is extremely rare. In recent years, Temple activists have had their efforts end in frustration time and again. Potential red heifer candidates have been located with great excitement, only to end up later developing white hairs or getting otherwise disqualified before they reach the required age to be sacrificed. 

It was in this context that Byron Stinson, a Christian rancher from Texas, baffled Rabbis in 2022 as he invited them to his ranch to inspect what turned out to be five unblemished red heifers.

What happened next sounds almost like it was taken from a Hollywood movie script as the heifers were airlifted to Israel at around 1 year old (how do you even go about flying cows to the Holy Land?). Being greeted at the airport with a special ceremony officiated by Rabbis, the heifers were then taken out of the public eye to continue being quietly and meticulously groomed for the sacrifice. 

Although one of the five was disqualified last year due to the emergence of a few white hairs, the remaining four remain on track to be eligible to be sacrificed this year. According to All Israel News, Temple Institute Rabbis hope to perform this ceremony prior to Passover this year while other sources claim it will happen sometime between Passover and Pentecost.  

Linking Cows and Terror

While the story of the flight of the five heifers to Israel and their subsequent journey has certainly stirred great excitement among Temple activists as well as Christian students of Bible Prophecy, it curiously hardly got a mention in mainstream Israeli news. 

It will surprise many Christians to discover that by and large, secular Israelis are uninterested and unaware of these developments. In addition, many Orthodox Jews are opposed to the any current moves to rebuild the Temple as most hold that it can only be rebuilt by the Messiah in the Messianic era. 

However, the radical Islamic world understands the significance of the arrival of the red heifers and are incensed by their presence. It was no co-incidence that Hamas called its infamous and deadly October 7 terror attack "Operation Al Aqsa Flood". Speaking at the 100 day mark of the current war with Israel, Abu Obeida, a military spokesman for Hamas, said that the aggression against "our path and Al-Aqsa" reached its peak with the "bringing of red cows."

Hamas' passionate calls for the 'liberation' of the Al Aqsa mosque from the Israeli threat, hits receptive ears in the Islamic world. Highlighting the broad level of Islamic concern for this site, the Organization of Islamic Co-Operation was founded in 1969 with the specific goal of protecting the Al-Aqsa mosque. Today this influential organization boasts 56 member states and is the second largest intergovernmental organization in the world after the UN.

Will there be a Third Temple?

Israeli government officials of all persuasions are highly aware of Islamic sensitivities concerning the Temple Mount and have through the years repeatedly committed themselves to maintaining the 'status quo' on the Temple Mount for this very reason.

While the ashes of a red heifer may become available in the next few months,  the Temple rebuilding project still seems unrealistic in the current environment. The fears of the Israeli government leaders of sparking all out war, combined with the lack of interest and even outright opposition from many Israelis to the project, makes it seem completely impossible.

However, the events of October 7 show how quickly long-held views can change. Prior to this heinous terror attack, the majority of Israelis were seeking to get on with their lives in some kind of peaceful co-existence with Hamas being contained by Israel's state of the art border fence. The dismal failure of this high-tech fence to stop the October 7 attack has smashed this long-held Israeli view, changing the perspective of the nation overnight into a determined decision to eradicate Hamas from its borders. Similarly, I believe that long held Israeli reservations towards the Third Temple will one day change. 

What does the Bible say?

'...not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit says the Lord' (Zec 4:6)

Rebuilding the Temple seemed completely impossible for the impoverished Jews returning from Babylonian captivity in the days of Nehemiah. Into this context of mounting opposition from surrounding nations and countless delays, Zechariah the prophet spoke the above words of encouragement proclaiming that God Himself would make a way by His Spirit. 

Through the prophecies of Zechariah and Haggai, God's Spirit indeed strengthened the hands of the builders, paved the way politically and enabled the miraculous construction of the Second Temple which stood when Jesus came to earth. Couldn't God do the same again in our day?

I believe that both Old and New Testament Bible prophecy is clear that the Temple will be rebuilt in the End times. In his famous Olivet discourse, Jesus predicted "when you see the 'abomination of desolation,' spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place .... then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains...For then there will be great tribulation" (Matt 24:15-21). 

While some Bible prophecy teachers interpret these words of Jesus in symbolic sense, Jesus' Jewish listeners would have understood His words quite literally. They would have seen His words as referring back to an almost identical event that occurred around 170 B.C. where a literal idol was erected in the Temple leading to widespread persecution. Jesus' prophecy was therefore seen as predicting a literal repeat of these events to occur in a real physical Temple in Jerusalem at the End of Days. 

Being Ready

The Temple Institute speak of the shame they would feel if they were given the go-ahead to build the Temple tomorrow and were caught completely unprepared. They have therefore spent many years in meticulous preparation and training for that day to come, and the ashes of the red heifer will mark the crowning achievement of this preparation. 

While many Israelis are unaware of these developments, so too is much of the Church. Just as He promised, Jesus is soon returning to this earth to rule and these developments point us to the nearness of His coming. Following the example of the Temple Institute, we too should be preparing ourselves for the soon fulfilment of prophecy, doing everything in our power to be ready for that great day. 

Let us also remember to pray not only for the fulfilment of Bible prophecy and the coming of the Messianic kingdom, but also for the eternal destinies of Jews and Arabs caught up in the current and future waves of conflict. Days of great tension lie ahead, but God's purpose in the midst of these shakings is to bring many people into His Kingdom. May we all play our part at this significant time in history. 

Here;  Red Heifers Ready For The Temple By Passover? (prophecynewswatch.com)

Jesus told the Jews that when they see the abomination that cause desolation standing in the Holy Place that the Jews should flee!  This would certainly suggest that a 3rd Temple is, in fact, coming!  The pieces seem to all be coming together while 99% of the world is eating, drinking, planting, building, marrying and giving in marriage!  And they have no clue of the flood that may soon be coming to take them all away.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!  Pray for all the lost people and be bold in your witness that Jesus is the only way to escape the coming flood of great tribulation.

Woman Gets Uterus Transplant Now Needs IVF

As you’re making your decision on IVF, here was a related article posted alongside.  It tells the story of a woman born with no uterus.  She ended up getting a uterus transplant but her body can’t get pregnant without IVF.  I can already see the next article that we will post in the coming months, “Man receives uterus transplant and now carrying baby.  When interviewed, the man couldn’t contain his elation. ‘I never thought I’d be able to fulfill my dream of carrying, delivering and nursing a baby!  But thanks to my new uterus, my new vagina and my new mammary implants, I’m going to show the world that babies aren’t only for ladies anymore!”

Something tells me that just because medicine CAN do something doesn’t mean that God gave us the technology to make it possible.

Just because science can splice together the genes of different animals and make chimeras doesn’t mean that doing it is pleasing to God.  Imagine when these purple haired freaks discover they could order an embryo that is half human and half cat so “I can finally fulfill my dreams of having a real cat-girl!” You think I’m kidding?  There is no end to the delusion that takes over these folks who hate The Truth.

***************************

 But everything changed in 2020, when the couple learned about the University of Alabama at Birmingham’s uterus transplant program.

They sold their home in Mobile and moved to Birmingham to enroll in the program in April 2021 in the hopes of starting a family.

“We moved to a whole new city where we basically knew no one and really started from scratch to chase this dream,” she said.

Goldman underwent the IVF process, which involves extracting eggs from a woman’s ovaries and fertilizing them in a laboratory to create embryos that can then be transferred to a uterus and hopefully result in a pregnancy.

After IVF, Goldman received her transplant, becoming the 36th woman in the United States to receive a donated uterus, in 2022 before giving birth to her daughter, Zari Grace, in October 2023.

Thorny Issues of In-Vitro-Fertilization (IVF)

This ruling in Alabama that embryos are children continues to shed some additional information on the topic that I’m guessing most of us never thought about.  I’m continuing to form my opinion on the topic as I honestly hadn’t given it much thought and honestly don’t know enough about it.  But I can say one thing for sure;  when doctors can start selecting embryos for sex, height, eye color and other factors like intelligence or looks, we are entering into a realm that we aren’t qualified to occupy.  And when a couple demands the doctor adhere to their wishes or “we’ll jus abort it”, something is terribly wrong.


***************************


Vitaly Kushnir’s fertility clinic offers to screen an embryo to predict a baby’s sex, but the service can lead to ethically murky territory, like when a couple wanted it so their first child could be a boy.


It struck him as a sexist motive, he said, and initially he declined. But the couple pushed back, saying that they would simply abort the baby if it was a girl. “I’m not in the business of bringing in unwanted children,” said Kushnir, who owns West Coast Fertility Centers and teaches at the University of California at Irvine. Kushnir, who ultimately agreed to the couple’s wishes, said he thinks there should be some restrictions on selecting a baby’s sex, but in the United States, there aren’t any.


The Alabama Supreme Court’s surprise ruling in February that frozen embryos are legally children has sparked new scrutiny of in vitro fertilization, a common procedure responsible for about 2 percent of births a year in the United States. Alabama lawmakers swiftly responded with legislation aimed at protecting IVF providers and patients from criminal or civil liability, which the governor signed this week. But the firestorm has reopened ethical questions surrounding the procedure, particularly at a time when would-be parents can choose everything from sex to eye color.


Polls show Americans widely support the procedure and other interventions to help people expand their families. But unlike some other countries, the United States hasn’t regulated screening an embryo’s sex or other traits, like intelligence and height. That has left patients and doctors to navigate thorny ethical questions on their own.
