Shut Your Church Down If You Won't Marry Gays

If you want an idea of what is coming for our churches in America...check out what recently happened in Israel when a Christian center refused to marry two lesbians.

Nestled in the hills outside of Jerusalem is a Messianic communal village founded nearly 40 years ago by Finnish Christians who believed in the biblical restoration of Israel to the Jewish people. Today, some 150 Israeli believers and evangelical Christians live and work there while providing a “living testimony” as Israeli believers in Jesus Christ.

But now the faith-based community of Yad Hashmonah may be forced to shut its doors after being ordered by an Israeli court to compensate two lesbians who were not allowed to hold their “gay” wedding at the banquet hall and biblical gardens.

“We do not hate homosexuals or lesbians. We love them. We simply told the court that it is God’s word in the Bible that calls homosexuality an abomination,” Ayelet Ronen, general secretary for the village, told Israel Today.

The women, who were married in England, where same-sex unions are legal, wanted to renew their vows and hold a reception at the Messianic Israeli moshav, or settlement. When the receptionist explained “the owners are believers in the Bible and cannot perform a ceremony of this nature here,” the women filed a lawsuit.

A judge ruled in favor of the lesbian couple and awarded them $20,000 in “damages.” And now that lower court ruling has been upheld by the Jerusalem District Court.

Judge Moshe Yoad Cohen determined the village violated a law prohibiting discrimination based on sexual orientation and that the village cannot refuse to host a same-sex wedding reception despite religious objections.

During the trial, representatives of the moshav quoted from both Old and New Testaments.

“As a faith-based community we need to be able to refuse events that blatantly oppose our religious beliefs. We explained to the judge that a same-sex celebration would ruin our business. The majority of our clientele are Christians who vigorously oppose gay marriage,” said Ronen.

The lesbians’ lawyer also accused the village of “homophobia” after the moshav published an announcement that “no homosexual or lesbian organization will be allowed to rent space for functions on our premises.”

As Bible believers, the community also refuses services for abortion activists and yoga enthusiasts.

“We have already received phone calls from many more homosexual groups and couples saying they want to get married here. To avoid another legal problem, for now, we simply cannot book anything at all,” said Ronen.

The moshav has now completely shuttered its banquet facility, resulting in huge financial losses.

“We used to host an average of 35-50 weddings a year over the past 12 years. Israelis from all over the country, religious and secular, loved to come here. Now there are none,” added Ronen.

Yep!  The homosexuals are waging a holy war and they will not stop until they are married and celebrated in every church in America!  If they are refused access to the chapel, your church will risk losing its TAX FREE STATUS and could be forced to pay YEARS in back taxes...which could effectively bankrupt most churches...or at the very least put many under severe economic stress.

Are we going to honor the word of God....or bow to the laws of men?

We better decide before the various perverts knock on our church doors and DEMAND that we marry them and celebrate their relationship...or relationships, as the the polygamists will soon demand.

Remember, WE ARE ALL SINNERS!  But a true follower of Christ who believes the Bible will REPENT and TURN from his sinful ways...not try and convince everyone in the world that he's not a sinner!!  Just because we are all BORN INTO SIN and have strong desires to sin doesn't mean that we can't change!!

"Resist temptation and the devil will flee."

Are There "Aliens" Among Us?

The Bible says that the entire universe and everything in it was made by Jesus Christ.  "Through Him ALL THINGS WERE MADE."

Evolutionists are telling us that all life was made by some type of cosmic coincidence and we evolved from some single-celled creature.

When you ask them HOW that primitive life got to earth, many of these folks will tell you that it's possible that life was SEEDED here by other advanced life forms in the universe....in other words ALIENS (that also evolved on another planet)  brought life to earth and have been watching our development ever since!

I have blogged about this many times and, no doubt, have had some push back from various readers.

"Dennis, this whole talk of demons disguised as aliens is so far fetched...it makes you look even stupider than you really are!"

Maybe that's true.

My question back to them is, "Do you believe in angels?"

"Yep"

"Well, please enlighten us as to where the angels come from, what they do, what they look like, where they live, what they eat..and also tell me how intelligent they are.  Also please tell us how their DNA is related to humans."

"Ummmm...."

And so, let it be shown that people that call me stupid also have NO EXPLANATION for the angels that ALL BIBLE READERS believe in!..which makes them appear pretty stupid too!

When you have 20 minutes, please watch this video by Zola Levitt TV that discusses what these STRANGE SIGNS in the skies might be all about.

Here;  http://www.levitt.tv/media/watch/1418

Also, joining me in the "stupid" category would be Chuck Missler, Gary Stearman, L.A. Marzulli, and a whole host of other Bible-believing Christians.

Remember, the Bible is FILLED WITH SUPERNATURAL STORIES!!

World UFO Day

ABC News has a story with video clips about strange UFO sightings in commemoration of World UFO Day.

There's something mysterious in the sky. Sometimes it's a saucer-shaped object. Sometimes it's a series of lights that change in formation, color and speed. Other times someone steps forward to admit that the mystery is, well, nothing more than a hoax. One thing is certain: the phenomena of UFOs, or unidentified flying objects, will keep many with their eyes (and cameras) fixed on the skies for years to come.

Here;  http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/ufo-sightings-caught-tape/story?id=16114939#

We posted about it when it happened, but I still think one of the strangest ones, in this list of 15 sightings, is the one where a glowing orb descends down on top of the Golden Dome Mosque in Jerusalem before it shoots off at the speed of sound.  This strange phenomenon was captured by numerous people from numerous angles and no one has ever come up with a logical explanation....that I know of anyway.

This article is just one more example of how the world is being prepared to accept "aliens" as factual beings of higher intelligence who are visiting us from far away planets.

In reality, we believe the evidence will show that they are some type of demons, fallen angels and/or strange flesh that have become part of of Satan's Last Days plan to deceive mankind and turn them away from the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

They are NOT coming from some planets light years away....they have been here since Lucifer fell and took 1/3 of the angels with him...and they are dwelling in the same angelic realm that the other angels exist in...which is all around us but we just can't see them unless they allow themselves to be seen.

Red Heifer Found in America

During the days when a Temple stood in Jerusalem, the high priests needed to purify themselves by using the ashes from a PERFECT red heifer.

Jewish tradition says there have only 9 perfect red heifers and the ashes from those heifers were used in Solomon's Temple and then the rebuilt Temple, usually referred to as Herod's Temple.

There has NOT been a red heifer born in Israel in over 2000 years....so as the article says, this news is causing quite a stir at the Temple Institute.

“This is the statute of the law that the Lord has commanded: Tell the people of Israel to bring you a red heifer without defect, in which there is no blemish, and on which a yoke has never come.” (Numbers 19:2)

One of the biblical conditions for the rebuilding of the Third Temple in Jerusalem may have perhaps been met recently when a red heifer was discovered in the United States.

In January a red heifer, or Parah Adumah, was born to a cow herding family in an undisclosed location in the US, who wish to see the animal used for the purity service during the preparations for the rebuilding of the Third Temple.

The family has reportedly not marred or maimed the animal in any way, nor will they be using the animal for work or feeding it any growth hormones. All this to comply with Jewish law of keeping the animal as nature created it.

The red heifer is a cow whose coat has no more than one single hair of any color other than red, and whose skin, hoofs, and eyelids are all also reddish. Rabbi Chaim Richman, the world’s foremost expert on red heifers and director of The Temple Institute, confirmed that the red heifer was being raised in accordance with Jewish law with the express purpose of “being presented to the Jewish people for the role of cleansing in the third temple,” he told WND.

“The God of Israel determined based on his wisdom that the ashes of the red heifer is the secret to restoring purity to the world,” explained Richman.

The uniqueness of the red heifer, aside from its irregularity in nature – there has not been a red heifer born in Israel in over 2,000 years – is that in order to qualify for the purification ceremonies in the Temple, the animal may not be worked or tampered with nor may it have a blemish of any kind.

Rabbi Richman says that the people who own this animal and who are raising it are going to great pains to make sure that this red heifer will be useable for the ceremony.

“She won’t be branded, tagged, or used for any work, the plan is to watch her, and take care of her, and The Temple Institute is very thankful to those raising her, as everything is being done with extreme sensitivity and respect to the requirements of the raising of the red heifer according to the Torah of Israel as described in Numbers 19, and expounded upon in Jewish tradition,” he stated.

Richman explained why the appearance of this red heifer, as opposed to others over the years, is creating such a stir. “There have been a number of red heifers over the years. Every time one of them is born The Temple Institute tries to keep an eye on them, and stay informed. There have been many of them that have been disqualified over the years for one reason or another,” he said.

“We are all excited about this one and watching this one. For there is a tradition that there were nine perfect red heifers that were used throughout history, and that the 10th would usher in the messianic era, and the rebuilding of the Third Temple,” he added.

Here;  http://www.breakingisraelnews.com/17303/holy-cow-red-heifer-born-us/#yx5ZXFHpEsyy288V.97

As followers of Christ, WHY should this chatter about Temples and red heifers be interesting?

Because the Jews are getting ready to build the Third Temple and they have been putting together everything necessary to do the job, including golden menorahs, ephods with special threads for the priests, finding men from the tribe of Levi to serve as priests and numerous other preparations.  They KNOW that the Lord will provide them with a red heifer when the time is right...and just MAYBE that time is now.

Currently there is a famous mosque sitting on the temple mount that is adored by a billion Muslims and it will be interesting to watch and see how a Temple is going to go up next to that mosque without inciting WWIII.

But the Bible is clear that the Jews WILL BE SACRIFICING again during the final 7 years of the 490 that Gabriel told to Daniel.  3 1/2 years into this period, the Antichrist will go into this yet-to-be-built Temple and declare himself to be God. When this happens, all hell will break loose on earth and the Antichrist will turn on the Jews and attempt to kill them all.  Jesus said if he didn't return to cut these days of tribulation short that NO FLESH would survive.

So all this talk about Temples and red heifers is simply one more sign that we are in the VERY Last Days.  Jesus is coming!...first for His bride...and then He comes back to cut those days of Tribulation short.

Jesus told us to "Watch!"...and this news about the Jews and Temples is definitely something of interest.

Elton John Says Jesus Would Support Gay Marriage

Elton John is one of the most famous people on planet earth.  He ranks right up there with Mick Jagger and Oprah.

Yes, that is a sad commentary about WHO the world decides is famous.

For those of you who don't know...Elton is gay...and of course he thinks that ALL OF US, including Jesus, should celebrate his homosexuality.

(CNN) -- In the same-sex marriage debate, Elton John believes he knows where Jesus would've stood.
The musician, who plans to marry his partner David Furnish next year, talked to Sky News on Sunday about how pleased he is with Pope Francis and how he wishes the Church of England would show greater support for his message.

"The new Pope has excited me so much by his humanity," John said. "He's stripped it down to the bare bones and said it's all basically about love and taking everybody in, inclusiveness. And that has to be encouraged by the Church of England."

So when it comes to issues such as vows of celibacy for Catholic priests and gay clergymen being able to marry, John said the church needs to catch up with the times.

"These are old and stupid things, and the church hierarchy might be up in arms about it -- the traditionalists -- but times have changed," John said. "We live in a different time. If Jesus Christ was alive today, I cannot see him, as the Christian person that he was and the great person that he was, saying this could not happen.

"He was all about love and compassion and forgiveness and trying to bring people together, and that is what the church should be about."

As far as coming together for John's nuptials, fans shouldn't expect a large affair.

"It'll be very quiet and very off the cuff," John said. "But we will (marry), and I think it's a great opportunity to take advantage of the new laws, and to celebrate it."

Here;  http://www.cnn.com/2014/06/30/showbiz/celebrity-news-gossip/elton-john-same-sex-marriage-jesus/index.html?sr=tw070114eltonjohn1pstorygallink

Ummm...Sir Elton?....Jesus IS ALIVE TODAY!!   Most certainly he would NOT contradict scripture!

God is NEVER CHANGING.  He is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow.  He is NOT going to change the definition of sin just because our sick society is different than it was 50 years ago.

Notice as well that Sir Elton used the word, "inclusiveness."  He thinks it's all about taking everybody in!!...no matter what kind of lifestyle they lead!!  Take them into what, Sir John??  A social club where songs are sung about love and potluck is served??

Clearly, Sir Elton has not read the words of Jesus...the part about the wide road that leads to destruction and how many will be on it.

Jesus, please help us to have a broken heart for all the lost people who don't know you.  Help us share the salvation story with love and compassion to all the lost souls that you put us in contact with.  Help us to remember that we are ALL sinners and that we all fall short of your glory.  Thank you for coming and taking our place to be punished for our sins so that we may have eternal life with you.  Amen.

ISIS Claims They Will Take Rome Next

We honestly have no idea what this headline might mean on the prophetic front...but anytime you have a headline about Muslims being called up from everywhere to violently take over Rome....you have to at least pay attention.

Now the leader of ISIS is saying ROME IS NEXT!!!

Rome will be conquered next, says leader of Islamic State

Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the self-proclaimed leader of the Islamic State stretching across Iraq and Syria, has vowed to lead the conquest of Rome as he called on Muslims to immigrate to his new land to fight under its banner around the globe.

Baghdadi, who holds a PhD in Islamic studies, said Muslims were being targetted and killed from China to Indonesia. Speaking as the first Caliph, or commander of the Islamic faithful since the dissolution of the Ottoman empire, he called on Muslims to rally to his pan-Islamic state.

"Those who can immigrate to the Islamic State should immigrate, as immigration to the house of Islam is a duty," he said in an audio recording released on a website used by the group formerly known as the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham.

"Rush O Muslims to your state. It is your state. Syria is not for Syrians and Iraq is not for Iraqis. The land is for the Muslims, all Muslims.

"This is my advice to you. If you hold to it you will conquer Rome and own the world, if Allah wills."

Having claimed the title of "caliph", Baghdadi appealed to "judges and those who have military and managerial and service skills, and doctors and engineers in all fields."

He also called on jihadi fighters to escalate fighting in the holy month of Ramadan, which began on Sunday. "In this virtuous month or in any other month, there is no deed better than jihad in the path of Allah, so take advantage of this opportunity and walk the path of you righteous predecessors," he said. "So to arms, to arms, soldiers of the Islamic s, fight, fight."

In a reflection of the havoc wreaked the past month by the Sunni insurgency led by the group, the United Nations said more than 2,400 people were killed in Iraq in June, making it the deadliest month in the country in years.

Baghdadi's claims to control vast territority have yet to be tested by an Iraqi government counter attack. Many Muslim groups dispute his putative caliphate. However some experts fear his rise could transform the appeal of extremist Islam, partly by harassing social media to build a global following.

Hassan Hassan, an analyst at Abu Dhabi's Delma Institute, wrote that Baghdadi provided the most radical challenge since the emergence of Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda. "The whispers of support to a caliph in Afghanistan are now replaced by clear words and acts, amplified by social media," he said. 

"Jihadism has evolved significantly. It is no longer limited to narrow “elitists” who travel to distant countries to wage jihad. Today’s jihad is more sophisticated and individualised and can be waged everywhere."

The Sunni insurgents' advance, which has plunged Iraq into its worst crisis since US troops left in 2011 puts it up against avowed enemies in Shia areas.

Here;  http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/syria/10939235/Rome-will-be-conquered-next-says-leader-of-Islamic-State.html

Hmmmm.....I wonder if that headline can be any more prophetic??

Gabriel told Daniel that the Antichrist will come out of the Roman empire....and now you have this self-appointed caliph (who has a PhD in Islamic studies) calling all Muslims to gather and take over Rome!!

How exciting is that??

I wonder what the Pope will say??  Maybe he will invite Caliph Bagdhadi, the leader of ISIS, down to the Vatican to say prayers and take communion??

Are we all remembering to stay sober...and stand up straight...and lift up our heads...because our redemption might be really close!!

"When you see all these things BEGIN to happen, then lift up your heads, for your redemption is near." -Jesus

Is Prophecy About to be Fulfilled in Middle East?

This group of Sunni fighters that are sweeping through Iraq have declared Iraq and Syria as the new caliphate.

If these Sunni Muslims were just going to butcher their rival Shiite Muslims....then maybe The West and Israel would just stand back as observers and wait until the smoke clears.  After all, we have learned that no matter what side the USA takes...both sides will hate us anyway.

But there is something bigger going on.  ISIS might hate the Shiite Muslims and they might be willing to behead anyone who doesn't bow to their caliph...but they aren't going to stop there.  Their goal is the destruction of Israel.

The Bible says THAT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN!!

Check out what the Rapture Report has to say about what they think this all means.

With all eyes on the Middle East and the gains being made by the fanatical Islamic terror group the ISIS (The Islamic State in Iraq and Syria) across Iraq there have been a few intresting developments that show that the Bible prophecy puzzle pieces are being put into place on the world stage. The ISIS group declared an "Islamic Caliphate" across areas that they had over-run recently. The Jerusalem Post reports:

An offshoot of al Qaeda which has captured territory in Iraq and Syria has declared itself an Islamic "caliphate" and called on factions worldwide to pledge their allegiance, a statement posted on Islamist websites and Twitter said on Sunday. The move poses a direct challenge to the central leadership of al Qaeda, which has already disowned it, and to conservative Gulf Arab rulers.
The group, previously known as the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS), has renamed itself "Islamic State" and proclaimed its leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi as "Caliph" - the head of the state, the statement said. "He is the imam and khalifah (Caliph) for the Muslims everywhere," the group's spokesman Abu Muhammad al-Adnani said in the statement, which was translated into several languages and read out in an Arabic audio speech.

Another article shows that the anti-Assad rebels have taken over 95% of the Syrian held Golan Heights that is disputed between Israel and Syria. Of course, the land rightfully belongs to Israel, but the Islamic mindset will never allow for that so the area is hotly contested these days. But I believe all of this could change very soon. The Times of Israel reports:

Almost the entire Syrian side of the Golan Heights is now under the control of rebel forces, including radical Islamist groups, a senior Israeli military commander in the area said Friday. Only the Quneitra border area is still in the hands of forces loyal to President Bashar Assad, Lt.-Col. Anan Abbas, deputy commander of the Golan Brigade, told Israel's Channel 10. About 95 percent of the Syrian side of the Golan is in the hands of anti-Assad rebels, including radical Islamic groups such as the Al-Nusra Front, affiliated with al-Qaeda, a rival of the burgeoning Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, better known as ISIL or ISIS.
One of two Syrian army brigades that used to control the area has completely disappeared, the officer said. At present, the Islamist groups in the area are focused on the war against Assad, he said, "but we know their goal is to harm Israel; we've seen their propaganda material."

These interesting developments show in my mind that the conditions on the ground are becoming ripe for the coming fulfillment of the Isaiah 17, Pslam 83, and the Ezekiel 38-39 prophecies.

While some lesser know Bible prophecy teachers suggest that the Islamic hordes are going to create an Islamic Caliphate across the Middle East and that the so called "Islamic" Anitchrist will eventually rise out of this Islamic Caliphate, the truth is the Lord has given us firsthand knowledge in the Bible to know better than that. You see, the Bible tells us in Daniel 9:26 that:


And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. - Daniel 9:26

Well, let me explain. It is my belief that what we are watching happen right now in the Middle East is the preparation for the fulfillment of Bible prophecy, in particular I believe that we are witnessing the stage being set for the fulfillments of Isaiah 17, Psalm 83, and Ezekiel 38-39. How is that so? As we see one dictator after another being removed from power in the Middle East, we see them being replaced by fanatical leaders and regimes. This in turn will cause the atmosphere in the region to go downhill which will cause fanatical elements such as Al-Qaeda and the ISIS to rise and make a move on Israel. As we have seen from the newspaper articles above, we know that the botton line goal for these terrorist groups is to destroy Israel.

But what these groups plan to do and what actually happens is a very different story. To get the truth, we look at the Bible where we are given information in the scriptures that shows that Israel will ultimately defeat her immediate border enemies (inner-ring) during the Isaiah 17 and Pslam 83 prophecies. Then at a later date, we will see Israel soundly defeat the invading Moslem enemies (outer-ring) through the divine intervention of God as described in Ezekiel 38-39.

All of this is currently in some sort of fulfillment as we speak. We see Russia (Magog) and Iran (Persia) aligning themselves together through military, economic, and scientific projects. The time is getting shorter and the prophetic puzzle pieces are being put in action. I want to encourage everyone to stick to what the Word of God says, rather than theories and unbiblical ideas being put forth by "false teachers" out there in the Bible prophecy community. We can rely solely on God's Word in order to know where and what to watch for in these end times. As we see these things coming closer and closer into view, we need to keep looking up, as our redemption is drawing nigh!

Yes, it does seem likely that the Antichrist will come from the same people-group of those who destroyed the temple in Jerusalem in 70 AD....and that would be the Romans/Italians.

I keep thinking about the word CONVERGENCE...and how SO MANY SIGNS all seem to be happening at once.  Earthquakes are being reported in very rare places, famines, wars, pestilence, race against race, nation against nation, anti-Semitism growing, hatred of Bible believers growing, Satanic evil manifesting, salt losing its saltiness, love growing cold, Gospel message being perverted, scoffers abound in our churches...the list goes on and on.

Meanwhile, most Americans have NO IDEA how close we might be to the age of grace being slammed shut, the trumpet blowing and the world changed forever.

Why should we care??  The stock markets are breaching new highs!!

"Gates of Hell Will Open"

Israel has begun using its military to strike at Hamas targets in retaliation for the dead teenagers found yesterday.

Hamas has warned Israel against waging war on the Gaza strip in retaliation for the deaths of three kidnapped Israeli youths, threatening that "the gates of hell will open" should action be taken.

The response came after Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed: "Hamas is responsible and Hamas will pay", following the discovery of the bodies of the three missing youths yesterday.

The Israeli military struck 34 targets across the Gaza Strip overnight after more than 20 rockets were fired from the territory into Israel since late Sunday.

Hamas, however, responded warning against any broad offensive on the territory. Spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri said: "Netanyahu should know that threats don't scare Hamas, and if he wages a war on Gaza, the gates of hell will open on him."

Mr Netanyahu said the teenagers "were kidnapped and murdered in cold blood by human animals", as he convened an emergency meeting of his security cabinet.

In Washington, president Barack Obama sent his "deepest and heartfelt condolences" to the families. "As a father, I cannot imagine the indescribable pain that the parents of these teenage boys are experiencing," he said. Yet he urged "all parties" to refrain from steps that could further destabilise the situation.

UN secretary-general Ban Ki-moon issued a similar condemnation of the "heinous crime", but also urged the sides to "refrain from any actions that could further escalate this highly tense situation".

Israel's military said a Palestinian was shot dead when he threw a grenade at forces carrying out an arrest raid hours after the discovery of the bodies of the Israeli teenagers.

Here;  http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/israeli-missing-teenagers-hamas-warns-gates-of-hell-will-open-as-israel-bombs-gaza-strip-9574940.html

I have an idea that Netanyahu is not scared of the promised "gates of hell" being opened in Gaza by Hamas.  As we said yesterday, it is becoming clear that Arab?Muslims of Palestine don't understand any other language than the one called VIOLENCE.

Does any rational, logical person REALLY BELIEVE that if Israel turned the other cheek, did nothing to retaliate and then went on to propose a new Palestinian State...that Hamas and the other crazy Muslims around the world, will simply stop being crazy because they suddenly have another state in the Middle East?

Sadly, there are many "Just give peace a chance-liberals" that truly believe that lie.

I guess that shouldn't surprise us...as most of those folks also voted for Obama who won the election by promising to hit the "reset" button on foreign relations.  He believed that his charm, charisma and affability would just automatically make the rest of the world like the USA.

Yea...he hit a button all right....but it wasn't the reset button.

Meanwhile, back in the Middle East, the conflict between the sons of Isaac and the sons of Ishmael continues.

The Bible tells us truthfully WHO the son of promise is...and it's Isaac.

Genesis 17:21 
But my covenant I will establish with Isaac, whom Sarah will bear to you by this time next year.”

Genesis 25:5 
Abraham left everything he owned to Isaac.

The Bible also told us what to expect from the sons of Ishmael....and as you open up the papers everyday and see the misery and violence in almost ALL the Middle East countries run by Arabs...it sure seems to be the case.

Genesis 16
11 The angel of the Lord also said to her:

“You are now pregnant
    and you will give birth to a son.
You shall name him Ishmael,
    for the Lord has heard of your misery.
12 He will be a wild donkey of a man;
    his hand will be against everyone
    and everyone’s hand against him,
and he will live in hostility

    toward all his brothers.”

Israeli Teens Found Dead

The tiny nation of Israel is once again on the front headlines...and again, the story is another bad one.

The bodies of three Israeli teenagers who were kidnapped 18 days ago in the West Bank have been found, it was announced Monday night. Their families have been notified.

In light of the dramatic developments in the case on Monday, the Israeli security cabinet called an emergency meeting for 9:30 P.M.

The bodies were found north of the Palestinian town Halhul, just north of Hebron.

A large contingent of Israeli security forces were in the West Bank Monday evening between the Palestinian town of Halhul and the West Bank settlement Karmei Tzur, just north of Hebron, where a wide search after the three missing kidnapped teens took place earlier on Monday.

Eyal Yifrah, 19, from Elad, Gilad Shaar, 16, from Talmon and Naftali Fraenkel, 16, from Nof Ayalon went missing from a hitchhiking station at the Gush Etzion intersection. Naftali Fraenkel was also an American citizen.

Here;  http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-defense/1.602189

And yes, they were found shot to death.

I'm going to take a guess and say that Israel is going to give a military response to these killings.  They will probably target more leaders of Hamas and blow them to smithereens while they are sitting in their cars.

I'm also going to guess that they won't just take out 3 people...but probably 10-20.  At which point watch for the world to cry, "Foul!  You shouldn't have used such excessive force!"  And the United Nations will draw up some type of sharp rebuke and slap it on Israel's desk.

Israel knows full well that Hamas and its ilk ONLY understand the language of VIOLENCE.

And so the 3000 year old story of Isaac vs. Ishmael continues....

But whereas Islam didn't exist for the first 2000 years...today we have the sons of Ishmael powered by Satanic forces.  These forces have no chance of quitting until Israel and the Jews have been wiped out.

However, the Bible says that will NEVER happen.

As always, continue to pray for the peace of Jerusalem.

ISIS Declares Caliphate in Iraq and Syria

What does ISIS want?  They want another Islamic State in the Middle East and they want all Muslims to bow to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, as the caliph of this caliphate...OR...they will kill you.

Before we go any further, let's try to understand what a caliphate and caliph are.

What is a caliphate?
An Islamic state ruled by a single political and religious leader, or Caliph
Caliphs are regarded by their followers as successors to the Prophet Muhammad and the leader of all Muslims
First caliphate came into being after Muhammad's death in 632
In the centuries which followed, caliphates had dominion in the Middle East and North Africa
The last widely accepted caliphate was abolished in 1924 by Turkish leader Kemal Ataturk after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire

Hmmmm....so I wonder how this could differ from the 12th Imam that many Muslims are looking for to rule the 13th caliphate?

Jihadist militant group Isis has said it is establishing a caliphate, or Islamic state, on the territories it controls in Iraq and Syria.

It also proclaimed the group's leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, as caliph and "leader for Muslims everywhere".

Setting up a state governed under strict Islamic law has long been a goal of many jihadists.

Meanwhile, Iraq's army continued an offensive to retake the northern city of Tikrit from the Isis-led rebels.

The city was seized by the insurgents on 11 June as they swept across large parts of north-western Iraq.

In a separate development, Israel called for the creation of an independent Kurdish state in response to the gain made by the Sunni rebels in Iraq.

Isis also said that from now on it would be known simply as "the Islamic State".

The BBC's Middle East editor, Jeremy Bowen, says the declaration harks back to the rise of Islam, when the Prophet Muhammad's followers conquered vast territories in the Middle Ages.

The Sunni-Shia split has its origins in a dispute over the succession to Muhammad.

It's easy to dismiss the latest crop of Isis videos and statements as mere propaganda (however well produced), but the announcement of the establishment of a caliphate is rich with religious, cultural and historic significance.

Generations of Sunni radicals have dreamt of a moment when, in the words of Isis spokesman Abu Muhammad al-Adnani, Muslims "shake off the dust of humiliation and disgrace" and a new caliphate rises out of the chaos, confusion and despair of the modern Middle East.

Many Sunnis, and all Shia, will recoil in horror from the barbarism that has accompanied this moment, but the sight of old colonial-era boundaries being erased is a powerful statement, designed to attract new recruits to this whirlwind jihad.

In one of the Isis videos uploaded on Sunday, a bearded fighter called Abu Safiyya guides the viewer around a newly demolished border post. The video, with its arresting imagery and impressive production values, is designed to electrify the group's followers.

The fact that Abu Safiyya is described as being from Chile merely adds to what the authors hope is now the organisation's global appeal.

The heavy fighting over the two days caused many casualties on both sides, eyewitnesses and journalists told the BBC.

Insurgents were reported to have shot down a helicopter and captured the pilot.

Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called for the creation of an independent Kurdish state in response to gains made by Sunni insurgents in Iraq.

In a speech in Tel Aviv, he said the Kurds were "a nation of fighters and have proved political commitment and are worthy of independence".

The Kurds have long striven for an independent state but they remain divided between Syria and Turkey, Iran and Iraq.

The international community, including neighbouring Turkey and the US, remains opposed to the breakup of Iraq.

Incredible!!  Israel found itself inserted into this BBC article!!

Also incredible is that most historians believe that the Kurds are actually one-in-the-same as the people that the Bible refers to as Medes.  Remember in Daniel when the Medo-Persian alliance threw down Babylon?  Today we might call it the Kurdish-Iranian alliance.

Prophetic fulfillment certainly appears to be humming along at an ever-increasing speed!

Pat Boone Says Obama's Certificate is Fake

Oh-boy.  Obama's claims to where he was actually born and the birth certificate issued that support his claim just can't have any rest.  Now we have crooner, Pat Boone, saying that by September of 2014 the certificate will be proved to be a fraud.

Monday on “The Alan Colmes Show,” Alan spoke with legendary singer Pat Boone, who surprised Alan with an announcement.

Boone made the bold prediction that the President Barack Obama’s birth certificate, that was put out by the White House, will be proven to be a forgery by September 2014. He stated that it will be proven that the document was Photoshopped, which would be a high crime that could be investigated by Congress. While he denied being a “birther,” he said there were enough smoking guns that it should be looked into:

BOONE: What I’m going to predict here is by September of this year, the major smoking gun, which is a high crime, not just a misdemeanor, but a high crime, that supposed copy of the birth certificate that is displayed on the White House website as we talk, by many experts has already proven not to be not a copy of anything, of something that perhaps doesn’t exist, which is an actual birth certificate, but it is a Photoshopped fraud created to look like what they wanted it to look like.

COLMES: You also used the phrase “High Crimes and Misdemeanors.” So are you suggesting that with this revelation were it to occur as your predicting that it would be an impeachable offense?

BOONE: Look, I’m not a constitutional law expert so all I’m saying is I’m not going to try to draw, you know, either a judgment or a verdict. But I’m saying there are facts, smoking guns on the table that a Congressional committee ought to at least if nothing else settle all the doubt and the allegations that have been made and show substantive proof. But if this thing is a fraud if is a Photoshopped fraud, then there has to be some kind of reason for that.

You may ask what this headline has to do with prophecy?  Good question.  Probably not much, except to point out just one other example of how distrustful many Americans have become of our leaders.

When you start to understand that America doesn't seem to be mentioned anywhere in  Last Days prophecy...it makes you wonder where she went?  Did she explode, implode, fade away gradually or did the rapture of the church seal her collapse from power?

We already know America is divided and we remember how Jesus said that a kingdom divided will not stand...so we just wonder if a bombshell like Obama's birth certificate, could push the nation even further into divisiveness.

Or....maybe Pat Boone has totally flipped his lid?...and will just be one other "Christian" that the liberals can poke fun at when (if?) his prediction doesn't come true.
