Proclaim the Kingdom of God
Matthew 24:29-But immediately following the trouble of those times, the sun will grow dark, the moon will stop shining, the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of heaven will be shaken.
Ezekial 38:19- In my jealousy, in my great fury I speak; when that day comes there will be a great earthquake in the land of Israel; so that the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, the wild beasts , all the repiles creeping on the ground and every human being there in the land will tremble before me.Mountains will fall, cliffs will crumble and every wall will crash to the ground. I will summon a sword against him throughout all my mountains, says Adonai Elohim; every man will weild a sword against his brother.....
Ezekial 39:8- Yes, this is coming and it will be done, says Adonai Elohim, This is the day about which I have spoken.
Revelation 6:12- Then I watched as He broke the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake, the sun turned black as sackcloth worn in mourning, and the full moon became blood red. The stars fell from heaven to earth just as a fig leaf drops it's figs when shaken by a strong wind. The sky receded like a scroll being roled up, and every mountain and island was moved from it's place....17) for the great day of their (God and Jesus) fury has come, who can stand?
Matthew24:30-31-Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, all the tribes of the land will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with tremendous power and glory. He will send out his angels with a great shofar; and they will gather together His chosen people from the four winds, from one end of the heaven to the other.
Revelation 7:1-After this, I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth, so that no wind would blow on the land, on the sea or on any tree. I saw another angel coming up from the east with a seal from the living God, and he shouted to the four angels who had been given power to harm the land and the sea."Do not harm the land or the sea or the trees until we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads!" I heard how many there were sealed, 144,000 from every tribe of the land of Israel.
Revelation 13:7- it (the beast) was allowed to make war on God's holy people and to defeat them; and it was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation. Everyone living on earth will worship it except those whose names are written in the Book of Life belonging to the Lamb slaughtered before the world was founded. Those who have ears let them hear! If anyone was meant for captivity, into captivity he goes! If anyone is to be killed with the sword, with the sword he is to be killed! This is when God's holy people must persevere and trust!
Revelation 14-Then I looked, and there was the Lamb standing on Mount Tziyon; and with Him were the 144,000 who had His name, and His Father's name written on their foreheads.
Matthew 24:32- Now let the fig tree teach you it's lesson: when it's branches begin to sprout and leaves appear, so you know that summer is approaching. In the same way, when you see all these things you are to know that the time is near, right at the door!
What things?
1) Many will come in His name, saying "I am the Messiah!" and they will lead many astray. (This has already come)
2) You will hear the noise of wars nearby and the news of wars far off.(This has already come) The1st seal of the conquer? 4th seal of war?
3)People will fight eachother, nations will fight eachother. (This has already come) Rev. 2nd seal taking away peace? 4th seal to kill by war?
4) Famines (This already has come) Rev.3rd seal 2Lbs. of wheat for a days wages? 4th seal to kill by war and famine?
5) Earthquakes (signs in the earth)
6)Believers will be handed over to be punished and put to death. (Happening) 5th seal, the souls of those put to death, told to wait until the full number?
7)All people will hate you because of Jesus (Happening) 5th seal?
8)People will be trapped into hating and betraying each other ( Happening) 5th seal?
9) Many false prophets will appear and fool many people (Happening) 5th seal?
10) Many peoples' love will grow cold (because of increased distance from Torah) (Happening) 5th seal?
11) The Good News will be announced throughout the whole world as a witness( Happening) 5th seal?
12) It is then that the end will come.
Ezekial 38 is concurrent with Revelation 6:12!- the sixth seal! Israel will use the weapons for fire, for 7 YEARS! The 4 angels standing at the four corners, sealing the servants, these are the ones who will come out of the Great Persecution; ransomed from the world. They are sealed in 7, put to death in 13, and stand with Jesus in the beginning of 14, and the reaping is not until almost the end of 14; right before the final 7 plagues!
If you have ears, hear!
Matthew 24:37- For the Son of Man's coming will be JUST AS IT WAS in the days of Noah. Back then,before the flood, people went on eating and drinking, taking wives and becoming wives right up until the day Noah entered the ark; and they didn't know whatwas happening until the flood came and swept them all away. It will be jsut like that when the Son of Man comes. Then there will be two menin a field-one will be taken and the other left behind. There will be two women grinding flour at the mill- one will be taken and the other left behind. So stay alert, because you do not know on what day Your Lord will come.
It is undeniable.
The time foretold of in 2 Timothy 3, has already come.
The signs in the earth, has already come.
The signs in the sun have been in thenews- global warming, andthe polar reversal is set for 2012, according to scientists. The sun is doing all kinds of weirds things (signs) read my blogs.
The stars too.
The fish are dying, the pigs are dying, the bees are disappearing, the birds are dying, the Christains are dying in Nigeria, Iraq, Iran, in all the Islamic countries. Putin is teaming up with the Muslim nations for the battle of Ezekial. Israel is a burdonsome stone to all the world, as foretold. I just read (and posted) the other day, that Olmert is ready to take the "peace plan".
There's so much, I cant begin to cover it all. That is why I post the news everyday. There is archeological evidence being discovered that is proving the Word. There are Christians dying by the hundreds daily in other countries for refusing to convert to Islam. 10,000+ in Nigeria alone, since 1999. Children are being brainwashed into becoming killers, by Islam. Islam IS the religion of the antichrist, I am sure of it. Their own koran proves it- and what is their choice of murder? Beheading for the Christians and Jews! There was even a nifty little article about some bigwig in our country, saying that we should reinstate the guilitone, because it's cheaper! How conveniant.
Interestingly, I recieve emails everyday from Nigeria,and the "UN", wanting my info. Supposedly they want to give me money(yeah, right). No, they want to find me, because I openly am a believer and follower of the Messiah. (Sorry guys, Im not gonna make it THAT easy for ya, what's the fun in that, anyway?) And no, I am not paranoid nor do I suffer from any forms of neurosis.
Daniel 12:10- Many will purify,cleanse and refine themselves; but the wicked will keep on acting wickedly, and none of the wicked will understand.
Obey God's word! That is how you see the truth! Jesus saves us, by trust and belief; but obeidiance is what reveals!
2 Corinthians 1:13- There are no hidden meanings in our letters other than what you can read and understand; and my hope is that you will understand fully.
Read God's Word! Read it, and obey it!
Matthew 11:28- Come to me, all you who are struggling and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, because I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden light.
Matthew 7:12- Always treatothers as you would like them to treat you; that sums up the teaching of the Torah and the Prophets.
I would want you to tell me, and that is why I tell you.
Matthew 7:21- Not everyone who says to me,"Lord! Lord!" will enter the Kingdom of heaven, only those who do what my Father in heaven wants.
John 17:14- I have given them your word, and the world hated them, because they do not belong to the world-just as I myself do not belong to the world. I dont ask you to take them out of the world , but to protect them form the evil one. They donot belongto the world, just as I do not belong to the world. Set them apart for holiness by means of the truth-your word is truth. Just as You have sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world. On their behalf I am setting myself apart for holiness, so that they too may be set apart for holiness by means of the truth.(Jesus praying to God the Father in Heaven)
John 16:1- I have told you these things so that you will not be caught by suprise. They will ban you from the synagogue; in fact, the time will come when anyone who kills you will think he is serving God! (Sound like any religion we know of??)
Openly and without hindrance proclaim the Kingdom of God! It is closer than they know.

Islamic rule"good for" Christians and Jews
Islamic Rule Good for Christians, Jews, Hamas 'Mickey Mouse' Creator Says
By Julie Stahl
CNSNews.com Jerusalem Bureau Chief
May 16, 2007
Jerusalem (CNSNews.com) - Islamic worldwide domination is good for Christians and Jews even if they don't know it, and that's why Hamas television is going ahead with promoting the message of Islamic supremacy to Palestinian children with the aid of a Mickey Mouse-type character, according to the creator of the controversial program.
Hamas has refused to remove the program from its Al-Aqsa TV despite having reportedly promised a Palestinian Authority minister last week that it would revise it.
In an interview on the station Monday, one of the creators of the "Tomorrow's Pioneers" program said the show would continue to promote Islamic domination over other religions because it is good for adherents of those other faiths.
"What is being asked, so that the Americans and Zionists will be satisfied with you, is to follow their lead," said Hamzim Al-Sha'arawi, deputy director of Al-Aqsa TV.
"We [on this program] have a message, and we understood from the beginning that it is a difficult path ... But we were sure that we had to go this way because this [young] generation needs someone to direct it ... and this generation is the most worthy of the position of leadership," he said.
Sha'arawi went on to say that historically, Jews and Christians were "happy" living under Islamic rule.
"Therefore, when we talk [on the program] about the mission of the restoration of Islam to its natural [dominant] place, we're calling for justice, and for goodness, and for world love ... so that the Christians will live in peace, and that even the Jews will live in peace and security," he said.
As Cybercast News Service reported last week, Palestinian Media Watch, an independent Israeli research institute, provided translations of some of the content of the program, in which a Mickey Mouse-like character named Farfur promotes Islamic supremacy and speaks against the U.S. and Israel.
Farfur says the new generation "will liberate Al-Aqsa, with Allah's will, and we will liberate Iraq, with Allah's will, and we will liberate the Muslim countries, invaded by murderers." AL-Aqsa refers to the mosque -- the third most revered in Islam -- located on Jerusalem's Temple Mount.
PMW Director Itamar Marcus said that while many people are upset about the misuse of Mickey Mouse character, they are not grasping the threat facing Israel and the West.
"This is not just children's talk," he told Cybercast News Service. "The adults believe this ideology. Mickey Mouse is just a symptom of a much more significant problem."
"The Islamists see themselves as having a role in history subjugating the Christians and the Jews," Marcus said.
Farfur blames Jews
Hamas and the mainstream Palestinian faction of Mahmoud Abbas, Fatah, are collaborating in an uneasy "unity" government in the P.A. self-rule area, even as gunmen from the two factions continue to battle each other.
Despite last week's pledge from P.A. Information Minister Mustafa Barghouti that Hamas would revise the Mickey Mouse show, it was still on the air on Friday, when Farfur blamed Jews for his decision to cheat on a test at school.
Farfur cries when his teacher snatches a paper from him and accuses him of cheating. Later, his uncle asks him why he cheated.
"It was against my will, Uncle Hazem, because the Jews destroyed our home, and when the Jews destroyed our home, I couldn't find my notebooks," Farfur explains.
"By Allah's will, we will promote through Islam good, love and justice," Hazem answers in a gentle voice.
"Ask history, and ask the Jews, did they ever live in a time period better than the one they live under Islam?" Hazem asks. "And ask the Christians how their security was assured in the churches and monasteries ... Do you remember Andalus? This dear Andalus will return one day," he says.
Andalus was the name given to parts of Spain and Portugal ruled by Muslims for various periods between the eighth and 15th centuries.
Child co-host Saraa then tells the children that they will restore the "glory and civilization" of the Islamic nation.
br.'Dhimmis'
Islamic expert Dr. Mordechai Kedar of the BESA Center for Strategic Studies said that Jews living under Islam were "dhimmis" or second-class citizens. As long as they maintained that status, they were acceptable but not treated as equals.
In ninth-century Baghdad, he said, Jews were forced to wear a yellow badge and Christians an orange badge. The Nazis, who made European Jews wear a yellow Star of David to identify themselves, actually borrowed the practice from the Abbasids, a Sunni caliphate, he added.
In the Palestinian areas today, Jewish holy sites supposedly under P.A. care in terms of signed peace agreements have been vandalized. The tomb of Joseph in Nablus, which was used as a Jewish religious school, was sacked and turned into a mosque.
And with regard to the situation of Christians under Islam, one has only to look at the situation of Christian minorities in the Middle East today, Kedar told Cybercast News Service.
The Coptic Christians in Egypt are at the least discriminated against if not openly persecuted, while Christians in Iraq face harassment and violence. Maronite Christians were the dominant group in Lebanon when the country was created in 1920. No national census has been taken since 1932, but according to the CIA World Factbook, about 40 percent of the population is Christian.
In the P.A. area, several Christian religious establishments in the Gaza Strip and West Bank have been attacked during the past year. In Bethlehem, Muslims have reportedly seized Christians' property, with impunity.
Christians are leaving every country in the Middle East, Kedar said.
Hamas' claims about Islam's attitude toward Christians and Jews at this time are "nothing you can take seriously," he added.
A Hamas newspaper, Al-Risalah, wrote recently that suicide bombings were commanded by Allah because "the extermination of the Jews is good for the inhabitants of the world."

MUSLIMS' CRACKING DOWN ON CHRISTIANITY
FAITH UNDER FIRE
Muslims cracking down on Christianity
Costs of remaining steadfast include family, home, even life
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Christian churches are being ordered closed and those who are steadfast in the faith are losing homes, families and jobs as the cost of being Christian in Pakistan is rising, according to new reports from the Voice of the Martyrs and others. Even the death penalty soon could be a possibility.
The Voice of the Martyrs said, however, Christians are remaining faithful under the persecution, and are in need of prayer.
"The Voice of the Martyrs recently received information from Pakistani contacts that Christians remain steadfast in their faith, although they are losing relationships with their families because of their faith in Jesus Christ," the VOM report said.
The VOM cited one specific case, that of "Karim," who comes from a devout Muslim family.
(Story continues below) adsonar_placementId=1270202;adsonar_pid=663759;adsonar_ps=1451068;adsonar_zw=300;adsonar_zh=250;adsonar_jv="ads.adsonar.com";
He routinely suffers the loss of jobs, contact with friends, and even homes, because of his Christianity, VOM said.
"After I became a Christian in 1997, I visited my family during the Muslim festival called, 'Eid-ul-Zaha,' where Muslims sacrifice animals before Allah," he told VOM. "I questioned my mother asking her why she was sacrificing animals to Allah and yet in the Christian faith Jesus Christ sacrificed himself for us. I explained there was no need to sacrifice any animals. My mother was shocked. She started verbally abusing me and told me she had noticed a change in me, but had never thought it was because I had converted to Christianity."
She warned him the rest of the family would not be as understanding as she was.
"Before I left home my brother asked if I was reading the Bible and if I had an interest in the Christian faith. He slapped and verbally abused me, saying Christians are 'churda,' dirty people. He said Christians would make me dirty and I should stop reading 'churda's books, the Bible,'" Karim said.
VOM reported that Karim has lost jobs because of his faith, and constantly moves from one location to another to avoid harassment from members of his extended family. But he said his Christianity, to which he was introduced by a co-worker who gave him a Bible, is worth it.
"One day I read where the disciples asked Jesus to teach them how to pray, and after this I also asked Jesus to teach me how to pray. I said, 'Jesus, I have no teacher who can guide me and teach me about the Bible and faith, give me the Holy Spirit so I can learn about this faith.' From that day the Holy Spirit has been my teacher," Karim told VOM.
He said he spent years investigating before he made that decision.
"For two and a half years I was reading it every day. I started a comparative study of the Bible and the Quran. I saw there was a sequence, continuity and discipline in the Bible. I could not find these things in the Quran," he said.
According to Elizabeth Kendal, who reports on the persecution for the World Evangelical Alliance Religious Liberty Commission, the root of the developing problem in Pakistan is the nation's pro-Sharia, Islamist Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal alliance of Muslim devotees, which holds the balance of power in the nation's National Assembly.
As a result, President Pervez Musharraf frequently makes political agreements that advance his agenda of staying on power while granting the alliance some of its wishes – which could be summarized as the conversion of Pakistan into a Islam-controlled state.
One of the pending proposals is the Apostasy Act, under which any man who leaves Islam for another religion would be killed. Women would be imprisoned for life.
The report also said owners of stores trading in the "un-Islamic" have been ordered to close or "suffer dire consequences," female students have been threatened if they continue their schooling, and in the Charsadda district, churches have been issued hand-written letters with an ultimatum to close down.
Faith McDonnell, the religious liberty director of the Institute on Religion and Democracy, said the nation's consideration of the death penalty for leaving Islam is two steps backwards for religious freedom.
"The apostasy bill is the work of political parties aligned with Taliban-style repression," she wrote. She said such laws would open the door to massive abuse, and in fact, such cases already have been launched.
In one case, she said, a Christian boy was sentenced to death for writing blasphemy on the wall of a mosque. The penalty was based on Muslim "witnesses." However, the child was illiterate and could not write, she said.
There also have been reports from ASSIST News Service which cited a Pakistani Christian who is a lawyer, Khalil Tahir Sandhu, about random attacks on Christian women who are abducted, assaulted, and then forced to "convert" to Islam.
The Barnabas Fund reported that Shahbaz Bhatti, chief of the All Pakistan Minorities Alliance, confirmed the Christians are being ordered to convert. "We will not do it, even if we have to die," he said.
Officials also cited similar concerns developing in Egypt, where unsubstantiated claims that Christians were planning to build a church in violation of national law sparked rioting that left Christians injured and their homes and businesses destroyed.
As WND has reported, three Christians also were martyred recently in Turkey by Islamists who feigned interest in a Bible study, then attacked the leaders.
Voice of the Martyrs is a non-profit, interdenominational ministry working worldwide to help Christians who are persecuted for their faith, and to educate the world about that persecution. Its headquarters are in Bartlesville, Okla., and it has 30 affiliated international offices.
It was launched by the late Richard and Sabina Wurmbrand, who started smuggling Russian Gospels into Russia in 1947, just months before Richard was abducted and imprisoned in Romania where he was tortured for his refusal to recant Christianity.
He eventually was released in 1964 and the next year he testified about the persecution of Christians before the U.S. Senate's Internal Security Subcommittee, stripping to the waist to show the deep torture wound scars on his body.
The group that later was renamed The Voice of the Martyrs was organized in 1967, when his book, "Tortured for Christ," was released.

CRACKDOWNON CHRISTIANS COULD GO NATIONWIDE
FAITH UNDER FIRE
Crackdown on Christians could go nationwide
Fears raised that Islamic law will expand under new president
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Christians in Nigeria, who make up about half the population, are expressing fears Islamic law already being enforced in northern states will expand nationwide with the inauguration this month of a new "devout Muslim" president, according to a report from the Voice of the Martyrs.
Musa Yar' Adua was governor of Katsina state in northern Nigeria, where he and nearly a dozen other governors over recent years have imposed Islamic religious law as the law of the government, officials said.
As a result, Christians have lost basic rights such as having a location to meet and meeting there, officials have confirmed.
(Story continues below) adsonar_placementId=1270202;adsonar_pid=663759;adsonar_ps=1451068;adsonar_zw=300;adsonar_zh=250;adsonar_jv="ads.adsonar.com";
"We have not been allowed to worship freely, as churches have been denied places of worship. In the Government Reservation Area, for example, it is not possible to get land for places of worship by Christians," Rev. Canon Williams said in a Voice of the Martyrs report.
As WND has reported, Muslim rioters in Nigeria in 2006 were incensed over cartoons of Muhammad published in Denmark, and more than 130 Christians in the Nigerian cities of Maiduguri and Onitsha were slaughtered.
The reports documented six children burned to ashes in front of their father, VOM said.
WND also has reported nearly 1,000 homes of Christians and many churches have been destroyed in those regions, and documentation of Islamic law is everywhere.
"If you go around villages, you will see people missing one hand or one foot," explained Rev. Obiora Ike. "Do you think that's the result of an illness? That is the result of sharia law."
More than 10,000 Christians have been martyred in the region since the Islamic law was imposed in the region in 1999, and Voice of the Martyrs has helped surviving family members through its Families of Martyrs Fund with Care Packs, Village Outreach packs and words of encouragement to believers who stand for their faith "amidst volatile, uncertain conditions.
"The election of Yar' Adua will aggravate the problems of Christians in northern Nigeria. Our fear is that under a Muslim president, religious liberty will be eroded," another pastor said in the VOM report.
Under Yar' Adua's supervision in Katsina, the government set up a system to deliberately deny permission for any Christian churches to acquire land or build. "Government agencies [also] arbitrarily closed some churches," according to the report.
In just recent weeks and months, persecution of Christians has increased there. Alhassan Adamu, the secretary of the board of an evangelical Christian school, said persecution now is commonplace.
"There is persecution of converts from Islam to Christianity, destruction of churches, discrimination against Christians and denial of admission of Christian students in public schools, to name a few," he said.
Yar' Adua is a former chemistry teacher whose political pedigree dates to the 1960s when his father was minister in the post-independence administration. His late brother also was an army general under President Olusegun Obasanjo during the 1970s.
Political analysts in Nigeria confirm that he is not known for his tolerance of opposition, and his critics there describe him as totalitarian.
He has told reporters that the government must "earn" its "moral authority."
