The Bible speaks often about signs that would warn believers of the End of Days. Could the events that the world is witnessing today be the very signs that Christ, the OT prophets and the apostles mentioned? Please feel free to leave comments or news that you have seen.

Today the top headline in Google News;
What the heck do you do if your Syrian kingdom is falling apart, you have killed thousands of your citizens, the world hates you and there's a good chance you will end up being tried as a war criminal one day?
Hey....here's an idea....why not fire a missile at Israel?
Ummmm.....bad idea Mr. Assad.
Bashar Assad Flexes Muscles With Israel and Plays With Fire
Assad means lion in Arabic, but the current version of the family is really a paper tiger. His father was the subject of a derogatory line in Lebanon at the time of Syria’s occupation there, ‘’Assad Fi Lubnan and Arnab Fi Julan-A lion against Arabs in Lebanon - and a rabbit against the Jews in the Golan’’, but by all accounts Hafiz Assad was the formidable ruler of the Syrian domestic scene. Bashar Assad, on the other hand, is a nominal ruler of a nominal state. Syria today is a name on the map, a member state of the UN, but not a sovereign state. In the current civil war, lasting for more than six years, with nearly half a million dead and ten million refugees out of twenty two million people, Syria broke all Guiness book of records about being a failing state. No less than seven foreign armies are fighting there, including US, Russia, Iran, Turkey, Iraqi Shi’ite militias , Lebanese Hizballah and ISIS. Not even Somalia in the hey days of its civil war could boast such a dubious record, and add to that hundreds of local militias. Yes, also a small army of Alawites still obeying the Alawite in chief, Bashar Assad. Just yesterday, a Russian[maybe Syrian] plane bombed a Sunni mosque in the occupied city of Aleppo, killing scores of Sunni worshipers, thus proving yet sadly again how terrible it all is over there.
With all that happening, the last thing on earth that Bashar Assad needs, is to open a new front to himself, this time against Israel. Assad is a cruel ruler, an unscrupulous man when dealing with his Sunni enemies in Syria, but he is not stupid. Starting troubles with Israel is not something that may be HIS OWN real interest, rather it is the interest of Iran and their Lebanese wing, Hizballah. Some context is needed here. For some time , the Israeli PM Netanyahu has warned that Iran is planning to turn South Syria into a battle zone with Israel. The Israeli leader said it above every roof and went to see Vladimir Putin about that. He knew what he was talking about, as yesterday rockets were fired from the Syrian side of the Golan towards the Israeli Jordan Valley, until now a peaceful and flourishing area. In response to that blatant act of aggression, the Israeli air force attacked a position of Assad’s army in Palmyra, located in Central Syria. Syrian anti aircraft missiles were fired, and an Israeli Arrow missile intercepted one of them . All this did not prevent the Assad propaganda machine from claiming, that one Israeli aircraft was brought down. A lie, of course, and the Syrian nominal President was handed a very sharp warning as to what can unfold from now on. The Israeli air force attacked Hizballah targets in Damascus and South Syria, now extending their range of operations further into Syria, and all this a week after Netanyahu meeting with Putin. Whether the Israelis have Russian tacit approval to operate deeper in Syria’s territory is not clear, but they do it nevertheless, and Bashar Assad should understand the message. He is still the formal ruler of Syria, and he cannot claim to be such, and at the same time allowing Iran and Hizballah to attack Israel from Syrian territory. He should also realize, that none of his palaces are safe, and all this should lead to a decision by him to use whatever limited influence he still has over the Iranians in order to prevent South Syria from being another front against Israel. He can talk as much as he likes about ‘’Zionist aggression’’, but actions is something else.
Soon enough, the Israelis will have to make a decision about South Syria, and it seems very likely that such a decision will be to remove by force ANY hostile power from there, be it Hizballah, Iran or what is left of Assad’s own army there. There are seven foreign armies meddling in Syria, so there can be an eight one. It is NOT a scenario favored in Jerusalem, where policy makers still remember the Lebanese quagmire of Israel, and will not be happy to get engaged in a Syrian quagmire. Still, a new front to Israel in the Golan is totally unacceptable, and short of unilateral and under the circumstances, unavoidable Israeli action, Vladimir Putin is the one who should explain facts of real life to his stooge Bashar Assad , and more importantly forcefully demand that Iran and Hizballah will pull out of Syria altogether, and as a first step, from South Syria. It is one hell of a game with fire, and when fire is left uncontrolled, the effects can be devastating.

Amazing! There are already 7 armies shooting and killing in Syria!
including US, Russia, Iran, Turkey, Iraqi Shi’ite militias , Lebanese Hizballah and ISIS
Now please notice that Russia, Iran and Turkey are mentioned....which ties into the fulfillment of Ezekiel 38.
Also please remember Isaiah 17 and how Damascus will one day be made into an inhabitable pile of rubble..and it appears to be caused by a military reason...maybe a nuclear bomb?
Please re-read this statement from the above article;
Soon enough, the Israelis will have to make a decision about South Syria, and it seems very likely that such a decision will be to remove by force ANY hostile power from there, be it Hizballah, Iran or what is left of Assad’s own army there.
If you haven't yet entertained the idea in your brain that planet earth may be in the very last days spoken of in the Bible....go ahead and RE-READ this article.
We have NO IDEA when Christ will come for His bride. We also have NO IDEA how long the time period may be between the rapture of the church and the revealing of the Antichrist who confirms a peace agreement with Israel which ushers in THE TIME OF JACOB'S TROUBLE (also know as the 70th Week of Daniel)....BUT as we look at the hatred brewing all over the world, the focus of the world on Israel, the droughts, famines, wars, rumors of war, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions....and yet we still see millions of Americans buying big trucks, racking up credit card debt, building big homes, planning lavish weddings while almost totally ignoring their Bibles and/or the worship and fear of The Lord....we would NOT BE SURPRISED if Jesus came to snatch His bride away at any time now.
Matthew 25:10
“But while they were on their way to buy the oil, the bridegroom arrived. The virgins who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet. And the door was shut.
If you are excited about hearing the trumpet blow and meeting Jesus in the clouds...that's super cool!
If, on the other hand, you are scared or anxious about meeting Jesus at any minute....maybe it would be a good time to ask yourself WHY you are scared to leave this world and meet your Savior? Is there something here you love MORE than you love His glorious appearing?
2 Timothy 4:8
Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.
Well....this is an interesting headline.
Exorcist fails to drive out 'evil spirits,' forcing Brazilian president to leave 'haunted' presidential palace
It seemed like a scene from the sci-fi movie "Ghostbusters." The only difference was that the "ghosts" that apparently showed up at the official residence of Brazilian President Michel Temer seemed scary enough to force the president and his family to leave the Alvorada Palace in Brasilia.
Speaking to Vega magazine, the 76-year-old Temer said he believes the palace is haunted. The former vice president and his family moved to the palace after he succeeded President Dilma Rousseff, who was impeached last year.
"I felt something strange there. I wasn't able to sleep right from the first night. The energy wasn't good," Temer, who is a Catholic, was quoted by The Christian Post as saying.
"Marcela felt the same thing," he said of his 33-year-old wife, who is a former beauty queen. "Only Michelzinho [his seven-year-old son], who went running from one end to the other, liked it," he added.
"We even started to wonder: could there be ghosts?" he said.
According to Premier, the president even asked a priest to perform exorcism rites on the palace to drive out the "evil spirits," but the unnamed exorcist apparently failed to do so.
Temer and his family have since moved back to their former home, the official residence of the vice-president, where they had been living since 2011.
Temer could have called for the intercession of a fellow Latin American in his attempt to rid the Brazilian presidential palace of "evil spirits."
In a previous report, 80-year-old Mexican priest Fr. Francisco Lopez Sedano said he had successfully performed over 6,000 exorcisms, adding that he can confidently say that the devil is afraid of him.
Sedano pointed out that the devil is afraid of him not because of his track record but because God is on his side.
The priest said the devil often speaks to him through possessed people. He always responds with this statement: "I am nobody, but I come from Christ, your Lord and God and you leave right now – I command you in His name that you go. Out!"
Sedano said in his 40 years as an exorcist, he has learned that the devil is a person and not a thing. So when talking with a demon, he said people should remember "one isn't talking with a thing, one is talking with a person."
The priest said being an exorcist is a divine mandate. "A fellow priest who was involved in it made me see that fighting the Evil One was an obligation. He said to me, 'You have to enter into this by the command of the Lord.' The three mandates are to carry the word of God, heal the sick and cast out demons," he said.

Of course the Bible is filled with examples of Jesus driving out demons...so we know that the phenomenon is a real thing.
But of course we have no idea if the above article is true or if there really was a demon in the palace.
By reading the Bible we do know that the demons are very aware of WHO Jesus is. And the fact that we have the Holy Spirit living in us should give us all the power we need to NOT BE AFRAID of Satan and his demons.
Mark 1:24
“What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God!”
What happens when you put thousands of Muslims into the same neighborhood in a European community?
Answer: The same thing that happens when you put thousands of Muslims together anywhere on planet earth.
History shows that they begin to demand their Muslim laws (shariah) be upheld. Soon their host nations are afraid to have their own police forces enter those neighborhoods....and they turn into "NO GO" zones.
"But Dennis, you sound Islamophobic!"
Give me a break! Does pointing out the FACT that 70% of black babies born in America are born out of wedlock make me a racist too?

Today we are confronted with the news that a Turkish FM is warning that religious wars are coming to Europe....and by religious wars, he means that Muslims are going to rise up in the name of Allah and attempt to overthrow their Western host governments.
Turkey's Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu has warned that Europe is headed for “wars of religion,” claiming Dutch politicians are taking the continent “to a cliff.” The statement comes amid a bitter dispute between the two countries.
Cavusoglu was speaking at a rally in Antalya on Thursday and gave his assessment of the parliamentary elections in the Netherlands. The outcome of the polls saw a failure for the populist politician Geert Wilders to garner a majority of the votes, after a campaign rallying for the closure of mosques and banning of the Koran.
However, instead of rejoicing that the politician and his anti-Islam views had been defeated by Prime Minister Mark Rutte’s People's Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD), Cavusoglu warned that Wilders’ beliefs are shared by others across the Netherlands.
“There is no difference between the mindsets of Geert Wilders and social democrats in the Netherlands. They all have the same mindset...that mindset is taking Europe to the cliff. Soon wars of religion may and will start in Europe,” Cavusoglu said, as quoted by Reuters.
The comments come amid a bitter feud between the Netherlands and Turkey. Ankara suspended high-level relations with the European country on Monday, after it banned ministers from addressing Turks at a rally in Rotterdam, where they were expected to advocate for a constitutional referendum in Turkey.
Following the ban, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan accused the Netherlands of acting like “Nazi remnants.”
Erdogan also accused the Netherlands of state terrorism and having a “rotten” character earlier this week, claiming the Dutch were responsible for the 1995 Srebrenica massacre during the Bosnian War.
“We know how rotten their character is from their massacre of 8,000 Bosnians there. Nobody should try to give us lessons on morality, especially not those who have blood on their hands,” he said.
Dutch peacekeepers have been accused of standing down at the time, allegedly allowing Bosnian Serb forces to kill up to 8,000 Bosnian Muslims.
Prior to Turkey imposing diplomatic sanctions on the Netherlands, Rutte warned Ankara that his country would “never negotiate under threats by the Turkish government.”
He said he would attempt to “de-escalate” the row, but stressed that it “takes two to tango.”
Erdogan is lobbying for 5.5 million expatriate Turks to vote ‘yes’ in an upcoming referendum which would give him sweeping new powers to issue decrees, declare emergency rule, appoint ministers and state officials, and dissolve parliament.
Critics say the move would be a step backwards for democracy, removing the system of checks and balances.
Here; https://www.rt.com/news/380970-europe-religion-wars-turkey/
Wow! Those ARE fighting words issued by the Leader of Turkey!
“We know how rotten their character is from their massacre of 8,000 Bosnians there. Nobody should try to give us lessons on morality, especially not those who have blood on their hands,” he said.
The first thing that is so comical is how Muslims DEMAND that Western society embrace Islam and all the mosques with minarets and blasting CALL TO PRAYER they want to build....but yet they REJECT any requests to build churches to Jesus Christ in all Muslim dominant countries.
Try to build a church in Turkey, Iran, Egypt, Syria, Saudi Arabia and just take a wild guess at what the answer will be?
Yes, we agree. Religious wars ARE coming to Europe. And it will be the Muslims vs. the atheists/agnostic infidels.
Sadly, according to the researchers, there are very few Christians left in all of Europe as a percentage of population. So we seriously doubt the war will erupt between followers of Allah and followers of Christ.
What if one day you were sitting at Starbucks having a conversation with an acquaintance and the conversation turned to the Bible. What if you decided to quote the verse from John and said, Jesus said, 'I am the way, the truth and the life. No man comes to the Father but through me."
And now the story get unbelievable because the person sitting at the table next to you overhears your comments and says, "OK...that is the most offensive and intolerant thing I have ever heard! You need to stop that kind of talk right now!"
You remind the stranger that you are just quoting the Bible and since we live in a free country....you can say anything you want even if it offends the eavesdropper.
But now the stranger is getting angry...like liberals have the tendency to do....and he starts making a scene and starts telling all the other folks in Starbucks what you said about Jesus being the ONLY way to eternal life.
Before you know it, the local police show up. They demand you apologize for making such an offensive and intolerant statement. You refuse. They arrest you for disorderly conduct.
"But Dennis, that could never happen. This is America!"
Yep! And England used to have free speech too!
Christian Street Preachers Found Guilty For Proclaiming Jesus Only Way To God
Freedom of speech is under attack in England in yet another legal case where European anti-Christian and multicultural sentiment has trumped both core liberties and Biblical truth.
Street preachers Michael Overd (UK), Michael Stockwell (US), were both arrested for publicly preaching the Bible on the streets of Bristol in July of 2016.
Unable to charge them directly with religious offenses in court, the docket lists their offense as "violating the Crime and Disorder Act" a law which bans speech or behavior that results in "intentional harassment, alarm or distress" that is "racially or religiously aggravated."
The guilty verdict was handed down on February 28th of this year and the fine set at just under the equivalent of $2,500 for each man.
Preaching on a range of issues and with the King James translation of the Bible as their support, the men engaged with passersby and answered the questions of those who stopped to listen.
According to evidence submitted at court, the questions and answers dealt with Buddhism, Jehovah's Witnesses, Islam, homosexuality, Hell and a good many other topics both moral and religious.
According to the police, the arrest came when bystanders were offended by the preaching or the responses they received to their questions.
The arrest was caught on video and recorded seconds before the men were approached by officers with Overd declaring that "The purpose of mankind is to worship God and enjoy Him. You need to obey God and obey His commands.
I hated His commands once and I remember what that mind frame is--it is like banging your head against a brick wall."
As the crowd grew increasingly aggressive and hurled insults at the four men, the officers decided to enforce the will of the mob and threaten the street preachers with arrest if they didn't leave.
Their response? To assert their rights to freedom of speech by proclaiming, "For God so loved the world, guys, that He gave His only begotten..." which saw them promptly arrested.

It just dawned on me that this story and others like it may be a foreshadowing of the two witnesses who are coming in Revelation.
If so, we can expect stories like this to spread all through Western civilization. People who proclaim the Truth of God will try and be silenced by the majority who don't like their message.
Revelation 11
3 And I will appoint my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth.” 4 They are “the two olive trees” and the two lampstands, and “they stand before the Lord of the earth.” 5 If anyone tries to harm them, fire comes from their mouths and devours their enemies. This is how anyone who wants to harm them must die. 6 They have power to shut up the heavens so that it will not rain during the time they are prophesying; and they have power to turn the waters into blood and to strike the earth with every kind of plague as often as they want.
7 Now when they have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up from the Abyss will attack them, and overpower and kill them. 8 Their bodies will lie in the public square of the great city—which is figuratively called Sodom and Egypt—where also their Lord was crucified. 9 For three and a half days some from every people, tribe, language and nation will gaze on their bodies and refuse them burial. 10 The inhabitants of the earth will gloat over them and will celebrate by sending each other gifts, because these two prophets had tormented those who live on the earth.
Remember, those of us who love Christ WILL NOT be here to witness this event....because we will be with Christ....so WILL NOT be here to be tormented like those who live on the earth will be.
The headlines seem to get more confusing every day.
A woman can claim she self-identifies as a cat. A 40 yr old man can self-identify as a baby in diapers. Any woman can claim she is a man...and any man can claim he is a woman. There is no end to the rabbit hole we are falling down.
A transgender dad and daughter from Detroit are revealing their incredible journeys as they transition from mom and son.
Corey Maison, 15, first told her parents she identified as a girl four years ago, but it was not until last year she learned that her mother also struggled with her gender identity. The pair are now leaning on each other as they transition together.
The teen has chronicled their transitions on her Instagram account, and the two sat down for an interview with Australia’s “60 Minutes” to talk about the experience.
“I wanted to make my parents proud of who I am, but I thought that they would not like me,” Corey said about coming out as transgender.
Eric Maison, who used to go by Erica, said that he was emboldened by his daughter’s decision. He wrestled with different emotions while deciding whether to transition.
“The first feeling was relief, the second was terror,” he said. “Fear for what my future would hold, fear for how my family and children would, fear for what the rest of my life was going to look like.”
Eric Maison has since undergone a double mastectomy. He said he plans to stay together with his husband, Les, who supports his transition.
“I fell in love with the person. She was beautiful as a woman, but equally beautiful on the inside,” Les Maison said. “As long as Eric is happy with the appearance, Eric will be happy with what’s in her brain – or his brain.”
The recently transitioned dad of five said he regrets not coming to terms with his gender identity earlier.
“The only regret I have is not being educated sooner about what transgenderism was, so I could do it sooner,” Eric Maison said.

Confused parents lead to confused children.
This trend is going to explode in these last days as we continue to "educate" our kids in Public schools and tell them all that their brains don't necessarily match up with their bodies.
Most little boys remember the days when they didn't like little girls and thought they might all have "cooties"....so don't touch them! But 99% of us outgrow this. If we now have teachers telling those same little boys that they are actually gay and should embrace their current feelings and nurture their desires....it's not going to play out well for society.
"In the beginning, God created them male and female. Male and female He created them."
Remember friends, our JOY that we have in this world is NOT the result of our surroundings. Our surroundings and our personal circumstances can bring us HAPPINESS, but true JOY only comes from our relationship with Jesus Christ and our promise of eternity with Him.
With that being said, this headline showed up today and is a reminder that the current financial condition is shaky. It's been built on 0% interest rates and printed money. Out demographics are upside down and we will soon have too many retirees being supported by too few workers paying in to support their pensions, their Social Security, their health care costs and their long-term care needs.
Collapsing Pensions Are “About to Bring Hell to America”
Along with the student loan debt bubble and other major financial factors, the looming pensions crisis is bound to be the death of us all.
Because it’s based on a future promise to pay, it has long been a benefit dangled to solve strikes and union disputes – because, in the end, it is just more debt, whether private or public.
With tens of trillions in unfunded liabilities, the weight of an avalanche remains dangling over our heads. An aging population is cashing in on needed retirement benefits while the younger generations must support multiples that are unsustainable financially.
Somewhere between the retiree that needs clothing, food and lodging, and the bankruptcy of cities and state governments is the makings of the next economic crisis.
This is one of those things that few will pay attention to until it’s a 5 alarm fire. Then the policymakers will run around with their hands in the air saying they didn’t see it coming.
Of course they did. But addressing the problem is hard and will make people unhappy in the short term.
This blog pointed out the sad, and quiet fact that entities like the government of South Carolina are deep in debt over pensions. Everywhere there are failing social systems.
And somewhere, the rubber is going to met the road, and people are going to get hurt.
But take a look South Carolina’s government pension plan, which covers roughly 550,000 people — one out of nine state residents — but is a staggering $24.1 billion in the red.
This is not a distant concern, but a system already in crisis.
Younger workers are being asked to do much more to support the pensions of retirees. An analysis by the The Post and Courier of Charleston noted recently that “Government workers and their employers have seen five hikes in their pension plan contributions since 2012, and there’s no end in sight.” (Most now contribute 8.66% of their pay, vs. 6.5% before the changes.) At the same time, the pension fund has been chasing more stocks and alternative investments instead of relying on stable investments like bonds that may be much less volatile but generate only meager returns.
And if that’s not troubling enough, South Carolina’s pension fund is far from alone.

We have said it before and we will say it again....WE HOPE that Jesus returns for His Bride (all Christ followers) BEFORE the entire Western financial system collapses. And make no mistake, IT WILL COLLAPSE but we have no idea when that will happen.
We know it will collapse because the Bible tells us that the Antichrist will have control of the system that will rise up in its place.
But we should be able to read articles like this to remind us that we shouldn't be clinging to the systems of this world which have no eternal value. We should constantly be thinking of Jesus words to "Lay up our treasure in heaven where moth and rust will not destroy them."
This will mean different things to different followers...but the intent of His words is clear.
Let's be honest....all humans are hypocrites in one way or another...because NO HUMANS are perfect.
But let's also be honest that it is the liberal side of the fence who loves to scream for TOLERANCE!
They claim to be accepting of all races, creeds, religions, sexuality and confusion.
But as we have said all along, watch how INTOLERANT they are of Christians, Bible believers and Conservatives.
Today that Washington Times has an article pointing it out.
See no evil: Liberals refuse to see themselves as hypocrites
The Jews rejected Jesus as their savior when he first came to earth. Their 2nd Temple was destroyed by the Romans about 70AD and they have not had a Temple since that time.
Even just a few years ago, if you went to the streets of Israel and asked the average citizen whether or not they wanted a 3rd Temple to be built.....you would find that most citizens didn't really have a desire either way.
But, in the last few years that has all changed. Today a majority of Jews (those who have not accepted Christ as savior) want the 3rd Temple to be built.
All this focus on Jerusalem and the Temple Mount should be one other indicator that points us to the possible nearness of The Great Tribulation.
As Jerusalem’s Jubilee celebration approaches, the Israeli parliament has, for the first time, proposed establishing a government body focused on strengthening the connection between the Jewish State and its holiest site: The Temple Mount. This move has generated anger among Palestinian politicians, who believed recent efforts by the UN to erase this Jewish connection were successful.
In a move that has attracted the ire of the Palestinians, Culture Minister Miri Regev and Jerusalem Minister Ze’ev Elkin proposed a new foundation to promote the Jewish connection to the Temple Mount. A $550,00 yearly budget will be added to the already existing Western Wall Heritage Fund, establishing the Temple Mount Heritage Foundation. It will be responsible for “research, information and advocacy” about the Jewish connection to the site.
Arab MKs attacked the proposal in the Knesset, claiming the site is holy exclusively to Islam.
Ahmad Tibi of the Joint Arab List decried the foundation in the Knesset hearing, declaring, “The Al Aqsa Mosque and the Holy Sanctuary (The Dome of the Rock), and all of its surrounding land, are holy to Islam and they are all an Islamic Mosque.
“That is how it has always been, and that is how it will remain, despite the conquest, and despite this new funding.”
MK Yehudah Glick (Likud), who has been advocating universal prayer at the site for many years, was enthusiastic.
“After many long months, I am pleased that our efforts have finally produced fruit. This is a good time, and thank God it has finally arrived, albeit fifty years late (actually 2,000 years late). The Israeli government has recognized that the Temple Mount is our national site.”
The move comes as Israel is about to celebrate Jerusalem’s Jubilee, the 50th anniversary of the IDF conquering the city in its entirety in the 1967 six day war. At a cabinet meeting last week, Regev unveiled the logo for the occasion, explaining its significance.
“It tells the true story of Jerusalem,” she said.”The base of the digit 5 is a harp, reminiscent of David, King of Israel, who founded Jerusalem as our eternal capital 3,000 years ago. The head of the 5 is a lion – the symbol of the modern city of Jerusalem.”
She noted that some had criticized the logo’s wording describing the event as the “liberation” of Jerusalem rather than its unification.
“The fact that Jerusalem was liberated should be above all political dispute,” Regev said to the ministers. “I am saddened that any Israeli, whether right or left, is bothered by this.
“The Jewish nation’s bonds to Jerusalem are perhaps the deepest there have ever been in history between a people and a city. If we are unable to tell ourselves that we have liberated Jerusalem from generations of foreign conquest, how can we complain against the rest of the world for not recognizing our intrinsic connections to the city?”
Regev was referring to a series of UNESCO resolutions last summer which tried to erase any connection between Judaism and its most holy sites, renaming them in Arabic, while blaming Israel entirely for the conflict in the region.
The Israeli government has not allowed Jews to pray on the Temple Mount since shortly after the Six Day War, when it gave control of access to the site to the Waqf (Muslim authority). According to the agreement between the government and the Waqf, Jews were permitted to visit the site for the first time since the destruction of the Temple, but were prohibited from praying.

Incredible!.....did you catch what the Arabs said?;
Arab MKs attacked the proposal in the Knesset, claiming the site is holy exclusively to Islam.
Seriously?....it's amazing that the world doesn't look at the Arab's who say this and say, "How purposely ignorant must you Arab/Muslims actually be to say this with a straight face?"
The mountain of proof that the Jews were there in Jerusalem AND on the Temple Mount with Solomon's and Herod's Temple over 3000 years ago is EVERYWHERE!!
Also, Jerusalem is NEVER mentioned in the Koran...while it shows up hundreds of times in the Bible.
God loved Jerusalem. Satan wanted it for himself since God loved it. Satan spoke to Muhammad, Muhammad took a sword and demanded people all around him submit to Satan/Allah. Islam then kicked out Christianity from Arab lands and converted most Arabs by threats. The Arab/Muslims ultimately took over Jerusalem and built a Mosque to Allah and covered a rock with a golden dome to honor Muhammad.
Today we find that the Jews want to reclaim some of their Temple Mount history....and the Arabs are sounding stupid again.
I wonder when they will learn? Probably not anytime soon. It seems they have been on the wrong side of things for thousands of years now.
Nehemiah 4
But when Sanballat, Tobiah, the Arabs, the Ammonites and the people of Ashdod heard that the repairs to Jerusalem’s walls had gone ahead and that the gaps were being closed, they were very angry.
You don't have to look too far to realize that the liberals and atheists are starting to manifest the severity of their foolish and futile thinking.
Romans 1
21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools
Today we find out a pastor in Texas claims God is transgender. Because of this anyone who thinks it's stupid for men to use women's locker rooms is going against God.
The following comes from Steven Crowder of Louder With Crowder.
In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. Then, somewhere along the line, the mental illness that is leftism took hold… And spawned all kinds of nonsensical nonsense. Like human cats, vegans, and men who fancy themselves as pretty princesses. These man-trannies want everyone to ignore their deep voices, hulking frames, and bulging Adam’s apples and instead recognize them as dainty debutantes. Other times it’s women who want everyone to recognize them as dudes. You know, for exclusive patriarchal benefits such as: access to urinals. Despite lacking the parts with which to operate said urinals, of course.
Nevertheless, trans activists have been leading plenty of protests for their “rights.” At one such protest, this transgender “pastor” is going so far as to claim God himself is a he-she. For realz…
A transgender pastor told Texas voters that “God is trangender” and those opposing transgender people from using the bathroom they like are “using God as an excuse to hate people.”
The Rev. S. David Wynn, a pastor at Forth Worth’s Agape Metropolitan Community Church, rallied activists at the Texas State Capitol on Tuesday protesting against a Senate bill forcing people to use the bathroom of the gender on their birth certificate…
The pastor told the crowd that God was transgender and criticized those supporting the bill.

It makes it doubly tragic that a "pastor" who went to seminary someplace and probably had to read some of the Bible while there....is now perverting scripture.
But of course this shouldn't surprise us. Jesus himself warned us in Matthew 7;
“Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves.
So clearly, Jesus was warning us, that men in robes and suits with seminary certificates would stand in front of the flock appearing to be sheep....but in reality they are wolves who pervert scripture, tickle ears and deliver a message that helps lead people to destruction.
Just so you can defend yourself if this comes up while at the office water cooler....God NEVER refers to himself as "mother". He presented himself to earth as the MAN Jesus....and Jesus referred often of his "Heavenly FATHER".....so for some moronic pastor from Texas to claim God is transgender is laughable.
Let me guess.....he is the same pastor that has already seen THE SHACK movie twice int the past week and also handed out hundreds of copies of the book when it came out 10 years ago.

This is quite a severe and interesting headline to be front and center on Google News today.
Will The US Go To War? American Ships Prepare For North Korean Missile Launches With Japan, South Korea
The United States joined in military defense operations and training exercises with Japan and South Korea in the Sea of Japan this week following a series of North Korean ballistic missiles launches in direct defiance with United Nations sanctions since President Donald Trump took office in January.
The intergovernmental defense training was intended to "enhance tactical capabilities, increase self-defense, strengthen partnerships,” as well as improve "situational awareness," according to a Navy statement.
The U.S. added its USS Curtis Wilbur, a high-powered guided missile destroyer, to the international fleet of ships participating in essentially a show of force against the reclusive North Korean regime. South Korea and Japan also included naval destroyers to the defense mission, including the destroyer Sejong the Great and the JS Kirishima, respectively. Such ships are designed to launch guided missiles with specific targets and are capable of carrying out anti-air, anti-submarine and other wartime operations.
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's regime denounced the trilateral military operations, claiming the U.S.-led activities were staging “drills of dropping bombs and making surprise attacks on the ground targets,” North Korean state news agency KCNA reported Tuesday.
North Korea has repeatedly defied U.N. sanctions ordering the nation to refrain from all ballistic missile launch tests. Kim’s government launched five missiles in a single week following Trump’s inauguration, with each “rocket launching drill” the north conducted "take to strike the bases of the U.S. imperialist aggressor forces in Japan," KCNA said.
Meanwhile, it remained unclear exactly how the U.S. might respond to rising tensions with the North Korean regime under Trump. Nikki Haley, the new U.S. ambassador to the U.N. under the Trump administration, declined to state whether the nation would support a nuclear missile attack against North Korea when speaking with reporters Wednesday.
"We are considering every option that’s on the table," Haley said after a U.N. meeting called to explore potential responses to North Korea’s missile launches. "The global community needs to understand every country is in danger from the actions of North Korea, we are not going to leave South Korea standing there with the threat of North Korea facing them and not help."

A war with North Korea could get really messy given the tension that already exists in the South China Sea between China, South Korea and Japan. The risk that something goes wrong and ends up spilling over into war with China could plunge the world into a very dark time.
Again, none of this should surprise us. Jesus told us to EXPECT wars to be more frequent and more severe right up until the very end....kind of like birth pangs.
Matthew 24
6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come.
When the world is awash in borrowed money, common sense tells you that there will be some tipping point at some time that will end REALLY bad.
The problem is that there is NO WAY to know WHEN that will happen.
Confidence is a fickle thing. As long as people BELIEVE there are no problems and that someone, somewhere FIXED the systemic problems that almost collapsed the globe in 2007-2009....then people will keep running around borrowing money to buy big trucks, take vacations and buy bigger houses...and BORROWING money is what keeps the whole economy moving.
But as we saw the last time, when people LOSE CONFIDENCE and start to get scared, they QUIT borrowing money to buy big trucks, houses, TV's, computers and vacations......and then the economy can tank really fast. And when the whole system is built on a foundation of debt....the ultimate collapse will be magnified.
According to the International Monetary Fund, global debt has grown to a staggering grand total of 152 trillion dollars.
Other estimates put that figure closer to 200 trillion dollars, but for the purposes of this article let's use the more conservative number.
If you take 152 trillion dollars and divide it by the seven billion people living on the planet, you get $21,714, which would be the share of that debt for every man, woman and child in the world if it was divided up equally.
So if you have a family of four, your family's share of the global debt load would be $86,856.
Very few families could write a check for that amount today, and we also must remember that we live in some of the wealthiest areas on the globe.
Considering the fact that more than 3 billion people around the world live on two dollars a day or less, the truth is that about half the planet would not be capable of contributing toward the repayment of our 152 trillion dollar debt at all.
So they should probably be excluded from these calculations entirely, and that would mean that your family's share of the debt would ultimately be far, far higher.
Of course global debt repayment will never actually be apportioned by family. The reason why I am sharing this example is to show you that it is literally impossible for all of this debt to ever be repaid.
We are living during the greatest debt bubble in the history of the world, and our financial engineers have got to keep figuring out ways to keep it growing much faster than global GDP because if it ever stops growing it will burst and destroy the entire global financial system.
Bill Gross, one of the most highly respected financial minds on the entire planet, recently observed that "our highly levered financial system is like a truckload of nitro glycerin on a bumpy road".
And he is precisely correct. Everything might seem fine for a while, but one day we are going to hit the wrong bump at the wrong time and the whole thing is going to go KA-BOOM.
The financial crisis of 2008 represented an opportunity to learn from our mistakes, but instead we just papered over our errors and cranked up the global debt creation machine to levels never seen before. Here is more from Bill Gross...
My lesson continued but the crux of it was that in 2017, the global economy has created more credit relative to GDP than that at the beginning of 2008's disaster.
In the U.S., credit of $65 trillion is roughly 350% of annual GDP and the ratio is rising. In China, the ratio has more than doubled in the past decade to nearly 300%.
Since 2007, China has added $24 trillion worth of debt to its collective balance sheet. Over the same period, the U.S. and Europe only added $12 trillion each.
Capitalism, with its adopted fractional reserve banking system, depends on credit expansion and the printing of additional reserves by central banks, which in turn are re-lent by private banks to create pizza stores, cell phones and a myriad of other products and business enterprises.
But the credit creation has limits and the cost of credit (interest rates) must be carefully monitored so that borrowers (think subprime) can pay back the monthly servicing costs.
If rates are too high (and credit as a % of GDP too high as well), then potential Lehman black swans can occur.
On the other hand, if rates are too low (and credit as a % of GDP declines), then the system breaks down, as savers, pension funds and insurance companies become unable to earn a rate of return high enough to match and service their liabilities.
There is always a price to be paid for going into debt. It mystifies me that so many Americans seem to not understand this very basic principle.
On an individual level, you could live the high life (at least for a while) by getting a whole bunch of credit cards and maxing all of them out.
But eventually a day of reckoning would come.
The same thing happens on a national level. In recent years we have seen examples in Greece, Cyprus, Zimbabwe, Venezuela and various other European nations.
Here in the United States, more than 9 trillion dollars was added to the national debt during the Obama years. If we had not taken more than 9 trillion dollars of consumption and brought it into the present, we would most assuredly be in the midst of an epic economic depression right now.
Instead of taking our pain in the short-term, we have sold future generations of Americans as debt slaves, and if they get the chance someday they will look back and curse us for what we have done to them.
Many believe that Donald Trump can make short-term economic conditions even better than Obama did, but how in the world is he going to do that?
Is he going to borrow another 9 trillion dollars?
A big test is coming up. A while back, Barack Obama and the Republican Congress colluded to suspend the debt ceiling until March 15th, 2017, and this week we are going to hit that deadline.
The U.S. Treasury will be able to implement "emergency measures" for a while, but if the debt ceiling is not raised the U.S. government will not be able to borrow more money and will run out of cash very quickly. The following comes from David Stockman...
The Treasury will likely be out of cash shortly after Memorial Day. That is, the White House will be in the mother of all debt ceiling battles before the Donald and his team even see it coming.
With just $66 billion on hand it is now going to run out of cash before even the bloody battle over Obamacare Lite now underway in the House has been completed.
That means that there will not be even a glimmer of hope for the vaunted Trump tax cut stimulus and economic rebound on the horizon.
Trump is going to find it quite challenging to find the votes to raise the debt ceiling. After everything that has happened, very few Democrats are willing to help Trump with anything, and many Republicans are absolutely against raising the debt ceiling without major spending cut concessions.
So we shall see what happens.
If the debt ceiling is not raised, it will almost certainly mean that a major political crisis and a severe economic downturn are imminent.
But if the debt ceiling is raised, it will mean that Donald Trump and the Republicans in Congress are willingly complicit in the destruction of this country's long-term economic future.
When you go into debt there are consequences.
And when the greatest debt bubble in human history finally bursts, the consequences will be exceedingly severe.
The best that our leaders can do for now is to keep the bubble alive for as long as possible, because what comes after the bubble is gone will be absolutely unthinkable.
Here; http://www.prophecynewswatch.com/article.cfm?recent_news_id=1090
Wow! Did you read those last two paragraphs? This guy is sure sounding like a Debbie-Downer!
If this dude turns out to be right, what do you think might come after the biggest debt-bubble in human history actually pops?
Do you think it could be setting the table for a cashless society? How about a one-world government? How about requiring a mark on every human being in order to buy or sell anything? How about wars over resources and control?
What do you think about The Trumpet blowing BEFORE all this stuff happens?
Would you be surprised?
1 Thess. 4
16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.
1 Corinthians 15
51 Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed— 52 in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.
Sadly, most Americans don't realize how much power the Federal Reserve has.
"Yes I do Dennis....the Federal government is very powerful!"
No....I said the Federal Reserve. The "Fed" has NOTHING to do with the Federal Government. They are appointed officials and make all the decisions outside of Congress and POTUS as to interest rates, the amount of physical money in the system (M1) and have tools to control the speed of how quickly that money trades hands which is called VELOCITY. (V)
So what if most of the people running the Federal Reserve can't stand Pres. Trump? What if they would love to turn all of America against him? Could they do that by pushing and pulling their levers until another major recession, stock market, real estate collapse happens?....and then everyone would stand around blaming Pres. Trump?
Could such a collapse cause even more riots, protests and demands that Trump be thrown out of office?
Most Americans do not understand this, but the truth is that the Federal Reserve has far more power over the U.S. economy than anyone else does, and that includes Donald Trump.
Politicians tend to get the credit or the blame for how the economy is performing, but in reality it is an unelected, unaccountable panel of central bankers that is running the show, and until something is done about the Fed our long-term economic problems will never be fixed. For an extended analysis of this point, please see this article.
In this piece, I am going to explain why the Federal Reserve is currently setting the stage for a recession, a new housing crisis and a stock market crash, and if those things happen unfortunately it will be Donald Trump that will primarily get the blame.
On Wednesday, the Federal Reserve is expected to hike interest rates, and there is even the possibility that they will call for an acceleration of future rate hikes…
Economists generally believe the central bank’s median estimate will continue to call for three quarter-point rate increases both this year and in 2018. But there’s some risk that gets pushed to four as inflation nears the Fed’s annual 2% target and business confidence keeps juicing markets in anticipation of President Trump’s plan to cut taxes and regulations.
During the Obama years, the Federal Reserve pushed interest rates all the way to the floor, and this artificially boosted the economy. In a recent article, Gail Tverberg explained how this works…
With falling interest rates, monthly payments can be lower, even if prices of homes and cars rise. Thus, more people can afford homes and cars, and factories are less expensive to build. The whole economy is boosted by increased “demand” (really increased affordability) for high-priced goods, thanks to the lower monthly payments.
Asset prices, such as home prices and farm prices, can rise because the reduced interest rate for debt makes them more affordable to more buyers. Assets that people already own tend to inflate, making them feel richer. In fact, owners of assets such as homes can borrow part of the increased equity, giving them more spendable income for other things. This is part of what happened leading up to the financial crash of 2008.
But the opposite is also true.
When interest rates rise, borrowing money becomes more expensive and economic activity slows down.
For the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates right now is absolutely insane. According to the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta’s most recent projection, GDP growth for the first quarter of 2017 is supposed to be an anemic 1.2 percent. Personally, it wouldn’t surprise me at all if we actually ended up with a negative number for the first quarter.
As Donald Trump has explained in detail, the U.S. economy is a complete mess right now, and we are teetering on the brink of a new recession.
So why in the world would the Fed raise rates unless they wanted to hurt Donald Trump?
Raising rates also threatens to bring on a new housing crisis. Interest rates were raised prior to the subprime mortgage meltdown in 2007 and 2008, and now we could see history repeat itself. When rates go higher, it becomes significantly more difficult for families to afford mortgage payments…
The rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage reached its all-time low in November 2012, at just 3.31%. As of this week, it was 4.21%, and by the end of 2018, it could go as high as 5.5%, forecasts Matthew Pointon, a property economist for Capital Economics.
He points out that for a homeowner with a $250,000 mortgage fixed at 3.8%, annual payments are $14,000. If that homeowner moved to a similarly-priced home but had a 5.5% rate, their annual payments would rise by $3,000 a year, to $17,000.
Of course stock investors do not like rising rates at all either. Stocks tend to rise in low rate environments such as we have had for the past several years, and they tend to fall in high rate environments.
And according to CNBC, a “coming stock market correction” could be just around the corner…
Investors are in for a rude awakening about a coming stock market correction — most just don’t know it yet. No one knows when the crash will come or what will cause it — and no one can. But what’s worse for most investors is they have no clue how much they stand to lose when it inevitably happens.
“If you look at the market historically, we have had, on average, a crash about every eight to 10 years, and essentially the average loss is about 42 percent,” said Kendrick Wakeman, CEO of financial technology and investment analytics firm FinMason.
If stocks start to fall, how low could they ultimately go?
One technical analyst that has a stunning record of predicting short-term stock market declines in recent years is saying that the Dow could potentially drop “by more than 6,000 points to 14,800″…
But if the technical stars collide, as one chartist predicts, the blue-chip gauge could soon plunge by more than 6,000 points to 14,800. That’s nearly 30% lower, based on Friday’s close.
Sandy Jadeja, chief market strategist at Master Trading Strategies, claims several predicted stock market crashes to his name — all of them called days, or even weeks, in advance. (He told CNBC viewers, for example, that the August 2015 “Flash Crash” was coming 18 days before it hit.) He’s also made prescient calls on gold and crude oil.
And he’s extremely concerned about what this year could bring for investors. “The timeline is rapidly approaching” for the next potential Dow meltdown, said Jadeja, who shares his techniques via workshops and seminars.
Most big stock market crashes tend to happen in the fall, and that is what I portray in my novel, but the truth is that they can literally happen at any time. If you have not seen my recent rant about how ridiculously overvalued stocks are at this moment in history, you can find it right here. Whether you want to call it a “crash”, a “correction”, or something else, the truth is that a major downturn is coming for stocks and the only question is when it will strike.
And when things start to get bad, most of the blame will be dumped on Trump, but it won’t primarily be his fault.
It was the Federal Reserve that created this massive financial bubble, and they will also be responsible for popping it. Hopefully we can get the American people to understand how these things really work so that accountability for what is coming can be placed where it belongs.
http://www.rightsidenews.com/us/economics/how-the-federal-reserve-is-setting-up-trump-for-a-recession-a-housing-crisis-and-a-stock-market-crash/
As the article says....most big stock market collapses happen in the fall. If you put this on top of the Federal Government hitting the $20 trillion debt ceiling tomorrow and then running out of cash by August....and then the government is forced to shut down exactly when the markets start to collapse...and people are mad and scared that they are upside down again on their housing....we may end up with another perfect storm.
Hey....when is the Feast of Trumpets this year?
We have posted quite a bit about how divided America has become in the last decade. Of course the election in November served to basically pick off the infected scab of the sore that has been festering.
So are we witnessing the break down of America? Can liberals and conservatives really co-exist for much longer?
Prominent leftist leaders are fueling the flames of hate against Trump and are promoting riots, civil uprisings and in some cases even violence.
And of course the mainstream media is a more than willing accomplice, because pretty much everyone that works in the mainstream media absolutely hates Donald Trump.
On a fundamental level, the United States is more divided today than it has been in any of our lifetimes, and the radical left is treating the presidency of Donald Trump as if it was the end of the world.
We are seeing terms such as "Nazi", "racist" and "dictator" thrown around very casually, but people need to understand that words really matter.
When those on the left use such inflammatory language, there is a very real danger that they could actually spark a violent insurrection against the United States government.
Just think about this for a moment. If a "Nazi" had really become the president of the United States, what would the appropriate response be?
When the left calls Donald Trump and his supporters "Nazis" and "racists", they are suggesting that people should act accordingly, and that is extremely dangerous.
Something that former Obama Attorney General Loretta Lynch recently said is extremely disturbing. She recorded a video message in which she suggested that in the struggle against Donald Trump there is going to be blood in the streets and some people are going to have to die...
"I know that this is a time of great fear and uncertainty for so many people," Lynch says. "I know it's a time of concern for people, who see our rights being assailed, being trampled on and even being rolled back.
I know that this is difficult, but I remind you that this has never been easy. We have always had to work to move this country forward to achieve the great ideals of our Founding Fathers."
"It has been people, individuals who have banded together, ordinary people who simply saw what needed to be done and came together and supported those ideals who have made the difference.
They've marched, they've bled and yes, some of them died. This is hard. Every good thing is. We have done this before. We can do this again."
Remember, this is not just some passionate young leftist radical saying these things.
This woman was the Attorney General of the United States not too long ago. For her to make statements such as these is irresponsible to the extreme.
The mainstream media is also working very hard to fuel the flames of hate.
MSNBC's Mika Brzezinksi made headlines all over the world when she declared that Trump's presidency "is fake and failed", and she followed that up by boldly declaring that we are now "at a low point in American history"...
"We are at a low point in American history and I don't know how anybody can defend this president, even if it's their job. Like you've got to have a job after this.
You've got to look in the mirror after this. Sarah Huckabee or whoever is speaking out next. You have to look in the mirror and think about this country after this is over. You need to think of the end game here, because there isn't one at the rate we are going."
It is unprecedented in all of American history for journalists to be attacking the president of the United States in this manner.
When people hear this stuff about a "fake president" that is "racist" and "fascist" over and over again, it is only a matter of time before people start to act out in violent ways.
For example, just consider what happened in Berkeley on Saturday...
At a park in Berkeley, across the bay from San Francisco, protesters from both sides struck one another over the head with wooden sticks and Trump supporters fired pepper spray as police in riot gear stood at a distance.
Some in the pro-Trump crowd, holding American flags, faced off against black-clad opponents. An elderly Trump supporter was struck in the head and kicked on the ground.
And it is being reported that anti-Trump protesters in Minnesota set off fireworks in the state capitol building over the weekend...
Five people attending a counter-protest against President Donald Trump were arrested in Minnesota over the weekend after police said they allegedly set off fireworks inside the state capitol building.
A St. Paul police spokesman confirmed to TheBlaze that five people "who allegedly lit fireworks in the capitol building and fled on foot" were arrested Saturday. He said they are charged with riot 2, which is a felony.
We need to take incidents like this very seriously, because often a civil war can be started by incidents that may seem quite small at the time.
http://www.prophecynewswatch.com/article.cfm?recent_news_id=1078
Did you catch that last paragraph? "We need to take incidents like this very seriously, because often a civil war can be started by incidents that may seem quite small at the time."
Just imagine if sometime soon a MAJOR event like a stock or bond market collapse or a shut down of the Federal Government, or a major earthquake were to stop the supply chain to grocery stores all over, or if the Gov't ran out of money to re-credit the Food Stamp accounts of 48,000,000 people.....
"Oh Dennis....that could never happen! This is America! Nothing bad could ever happen to us! Civil wars and massive unrest only happen in 3rd world countries! If there is a God....he loves us too much to ever let something bad, like a Civil War, happen here!"
I'm not quite sure why this hasn't made the MSM headlines yet...but Obama's brother in Kenya has posted a photo of Barack Obama's birth certificate from Kenya.
It has his name, DOB and a footprint on it....and clearly shows that it is from Kenya.
Is it a hoax?
Is it "fake news"?
Breaking: Malik Obama Tweets Alleged Barack Obama Birth Certificate in Kenya
Barack Obama’s brother Malik Obama tweeted out a birth certificate on Thursday allegedly belonging to his brother Barack.
The certificate is from a hospital in Mombassa, Kenya.
Baby Barack was a bouncing 7 pounds 1 ounce.
The certificate says Barack Obama was born on August 4, 1961 in Mombassa, Kenya.
Malik Obama is a Trump supporter.
http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2017/03/breaking-malik-obama-tweets-alleged-barack-obama-birth-certificate-kenya/
Check it out.
It makes me wonder if the world will ever truly know where Barack was born. Of course, it's too late now since he already was POTUS for 8 yrs....but if the Kenyan birth certificate is ultimately revealed to be TRUE....it would certainly affirm the claims of all the "birthers" out there who said so all along.
As most of my readers know by now, Russia, Turkey and Iran are the three main players mentioned in Ezekiel 38.
Today we find more evidence that for the FIRST TIME IN HUMAN HISTORY these 3 players are showing up in the daily headlines together.
Russia, Turkey, Iran to press ahead with Syria talks: Kazakhstan
Russia, Turkey and Iran are pressing ahead with a fresh round of Syria talks in Kazakhstan, Kazakh Foreign Minister Kairat Abdrakhmanov said on Monday, despite a request from Syrian rebels to delay the meeting.
A Syrian government delegation arrived in Astana later on Monday to attend the talks, Syrian state media reported.
"We are awaiting confirmations from the other parties to the meeting," Abdrakhmanov told parliament, adding that delegations had already started arriving in the Kazakh capital, Astana.
Syrian rebel groups called last week for the postponement of the talks and said further meetings would depend on whether the government and its allies adhered to a newly declared March 7-20 ceasefire.
The third round of Astana talks is due to take place on March 14-15. The previous meetings aimed to shore up a widely violated ceasefire between the sides that was brokered in December by Russia and Turkey, which backs the rebels.

Why is this exciting for those of us who are eagerly awaiting to meet Jesus in the air as spelled out in 1 Thessalonians 4-5?
Because many prophecy watchers believe that Ezekiel 38 will not be fulfilled until AFTER the church (all people on earth indwelt with the Holy Spirit) is called off the earth to meet the Lord in the air.
The idea that we might meet Christ soon should help us answer the question; "How then shall we live?"
