IS THIS ARMAGEDDON?!

Back in the 70's when I first came to faith in Jesus we were so in love with God that all we could think about was when Jesus would return for us. We all wanted so much to see Him face to face. The Jesus movement was in full swing. And there were people everywhere talking about the signs of His coming. And how we just knew all the signs pointed to His soon return.

But, as time went by we discovered more and more about the things that the Bible said needed to happen before that blessed event would take place. The scriptures came alive more and more. Causing many of us to take a step back from our myopic focus on His return. And focused more and more on our relationship with our savior.

My love for Jesus did not wane. And as my understanding grew I became less and less interested in "signs" of His return. And more and more interested in knowing Him. And how whether face to face or not, knowing Him immersed me here and now in eternal life.

This is why I do not spend a lot of time seeking for signs. Because my day to day relationship with Jesus has consumed me till whether I go or stay, being in His presence means so much more than the trying to recognize the signs pointing to His return to earth.

But, in this message I am going to take a look at some of the current events to see whether they are saying something different from what I already know about end times signs.

To fully appreciate what is happening in Israel and around the world today we need to be aware of the devices satan has his deep state actors employing. They use deception just as their father does. So when they are saying one thing it will in reality more often than not be the opposite.

So when we hear all of the fake news media parroting the same narrative saying that hamas committed these atrocities, we need to consider the fake news track record. Especially with things like the c-shot and it's aftermath, and their support for Ukraine and the billions of dollars sent to them, before jumping on their bandwagon. Because liars lie. That's what they do.

So even though the animosity between arabs and Jews has Biblical ramifications. Rather than getting all pumped up as if this is happening to fulfill some prophecy. I'm going to look what we are hearing and seeing concerning the events in Israel.

So first let's think about who benefits most from these atrocities that these liars claim hamas committed? Hamas? Or the deep state? Or are they one and the same?

Also when hearing people talk about prophetic fulfillment in regard to this we need to be careful they are not applying prophecies that have already been fulfilled as if they are happening today.

For example, I was listening to one commentator who was explaining how Zephaniah2:4 says Gaza will be made a desolation. Saying that Israel will fulfill that prophecy by making a parking lot out of Gaza. In response for the terrible atrocity they committed against Israel.

But, something I found in my research is that Acts8:26 refers to it's fulfillment as well saying, "And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert."

Also upon reading the scripture in Zephaniah I found that this was fulfilled in the BC era by Nebuccadnezer. So what is happening over there right now was not to be a fulfillment of this passage.

So all I'm saying is that we need to be more careful as we hear about what is happening in Israel. As well as other places that seem to have prophetic significance. And think to ourselves what this might be if it is not a fulfillment of this prophecy?

Because even though it is true that Israel is a super sign prophetically speaking. Old satan knows just how to deceive people if they are ignorant of, and will not do their own research, in these prophetic things.

Now for another example regarding the war in Ukraine when these same deep state actors that are saying Israel needs to "level the place" ie Lindsey Graham, who also tells us that Russia is the aggressor. And that "killing Russians is a great thing". And that Russia must be stopped to bring back order. When we who recognize their deception about the bio labs in Ukraine and what their intended use is. And that the nazis running Ukraine intend them for evil against the entire world.

An evil that we have seen perpetrated against the world's population through the bio weapon called vaccine. In an attempt to kill, or change every person on the planet from the inside out, as Klaus Schwab has repeatedly stated is their goal.

We see how the deep state uses deception to get people to think and to do what they otherwise would not. So just like the lies told about Ukraine, the same media players are now lying to us about what we are seeing in Israel. Remember, liars lie. That's what they do.

And Paul said in 2Thes that deception would be the rule in these last days. Not the exception. So pretty much everything we are being told, regardless of which group it is coming from, is meant to deceive. If not to deceive you and me. It is to deceive their enemies.

Also the Balfour Declaration that was very instrumental in the creation of the recent state of Israel states plainly that Jews who come into the land must not do anything to harm the people who were there when they came. Those we now refer to as Palestinians. But, instead must encourage their well being.

This is the pretext for Israel's support of the Palestinians. And with that support comes support for the so called terrorist groups there like Hamas. A group now being blamed for the killing of hundreds, and even the beheading of babies.

This is being reported in an attempt to dehumanized these people so that they can be treated like animals to slaughter. This is not a new tactic. It was also used by the nazis against the Jews during ww2 and the holocaust. And is having some success in that many who otherwise see themselves as conservative and even christian are calling for the destruction of those the deep state liars claim have committed these atrocities. Even if it means killing civilians not involved in the actual fighting.

But, when you step back to think for a moment you might come to a very different conclusion. Because when you begin to ask the obvious questions regarding how these people were able to get through the most sophisticated defense systems in the world using hang gliders. You will begin to see through the deception.

I think it's very possible that these people are being used as scapegoats to give the deep state cover for defending itself against the white hats that are in the process of destroying the deep state wherever it exists around the world.

A destruction the Bible describes in Rev.17. Where God puts it in the minds of 10 kings to destroy the woman that rides the beast. And I believe this is exactly what we are seeing in Israel, Ukraine, and other places all over the world.

So when you hear that babies are beheaded from those who practice drinking their tortured blood, know that you are being played. They want you to come along side them by calling for the destruction of people they are using toward the end that they have cover for their fight against the white hats.

And I don't mean "white hats" in the sense that there are good guys and bad guys involved in this fight. Because the Bible tells us in Rev.17:14 that the 10 kings, those Dan.7 tells us will be whittled down to 7 by antichrist(the little horn), will be with the antichrist in a fight to the death against Jesus. When He returns to establish His kingdom on earth for a thousand years.

So the 10 kings that destroy the woman that rides the beast are not good guys or white hats. This is only how they are being described by people who think they are good guys. This is not how God describes them. They are men who fight for the kingdom of this world to their own ends. These do not fight for the kingdom of God.

Jesus said if this were my kingdom then would my servants fight for me. But He said this is not my kingdom. So they do not fight. Not yet. When He returns and we return with Him. That's when we will fight against antichrist and his minions to destroy them so that Jesus rules on earth until the thousand years comes to an end.

I said all this to say that what we are watching in Israel and elsewhere is not good vs evil. And not God vs satan. We are watching Rev.17 play out where Satan's team A takes down Satan's team B. We are watching a deception that will bring with it the strong delusion to damn all those who will not love the truth.

Team B is not going to go down without a fight however. And this is what we are witnessing as we watch the "wars and rumors of wars" playing out in this contest. A contest where the winner, at least for a while, is satan.

Because it is his minions that are fighting against each other. We see an example of this in Ps.2 saying, "2 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?

2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed(ie conspiracy), saying,

3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us."

But, how do we see God respond to all of these conspiracies? Vs.4 says,

4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision." This is what we are seeing now while God has put it in the minds of Satan's teamA to destroy the harlot deep state. This is why 5 "Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure."

So fear not those of you who have God as their refuge. These things must happen but the end is not yet. For one thing the 10 kings of Rev.17 must still receive their kingdom for a short space. Only then can the little horn antichrist come on the scene to establish his resign to rule over men. While God pours out the great tribulation to bring Israel to repentance.

A time Paul spoke of in 1Thes.4 saying to those who now love Jesus, "13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.

14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.

16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words."

And again in 1Thes.5 where he said, "5 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.

2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.

3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.

4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.

5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.

7 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.

8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.

9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,

10 Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.

11 Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do."

So be of good cheer brethren. And be not afraid. Jesus said, "I am with you even unto the end of the age". Even so... Maranatha!!

See you there or in the air!
