Revelation 1:7 Behold, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him, and all tribes of the earth will wail on account of Him. Even so. Amen.
Daniel 10:13-14 The prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days, but Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I was left there with the kings of Persia, and came to make you understand what is to happen to your people in the latter days. For the vision is for days yet to come.”
As discussions and negotiations between Iran and the United States have completed three rounds…
Shahid Rajaee Port is the largest seaport in Iran. The port is responsible for 85 percent of the total loading and unloading carried out at the Iranian ports.
Officials have evacuated the port. Shahid Rajaee is useless at this time. This will likely be a significant blow to the Iranian economy.

Granted, neither India or Pakistan appear to be listed in the Bible. I am open to anyone who can provide scholarship and reason otherwise. Maybe the “kings of the east”…
Galatians 5:14 For the whole law is fulfilled in one word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
Let’s skip all the legal details and get to the heart of the matter.
India and Pakistan are at odds. However, both countries do have nuclear capability. They are not being good neighbors.
India has stopped the flow of Indus River water to Pakistan
In a government-released video today, officials confirmed that all four sluice gates feeding Indus River water from India into Pakistan, via four dams and their corresponding canals, have been shut.

Zechariah 9:5-6 Ashkelon will see and fear; Gaza will writhe in agony, as will Ekron, for her hope will wither. There will cease to be a king in Gaza, and Ashkelon will be uninhabited. A mixed race will occupy Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.

Numbers 10:9 And the LORD turned the wind into a very strong west wind, which lifted the locusts and drove them into the Red Sea. Not a single locust was left in all the country of Egypt.
The Red Sea is effectively closed to commercial traffic. Here comes more inflation…
Red Sea is now largely closed to traffic. That's 8.8 million bpd of daily oil transit, and nearly 380 million tons of daily cargo transit.
Global traffic now will be rerouted around Cape of Good Hope, adding 40% to voyage distance (and even more to cost) pic.twitter.com/Xct7x03tFI

Zephaniah 2:4-5 For Gaza shall be deserted, and Ashkelon shall become a desolation; Ashdod’s people shall be driven out at noon, and Ekron shall be uprooted. Woe to you inhabitants of the seacoast, you nation of the Cherethites! The word of the LORD is against you, O Canaan, land of the Philistines; and I will destroy you until no inhabitant is left.

Revelation 13:4 And they worshiped the dragon, for he had given his authority to the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast, and who can fight against it?”
Revelation 13:8 …and all who dwell on earth will worship it, everyone whose name has not been written before the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who was slain.
Revelation 13 is the definitive chapter in the Bible that discusses the fulfillment of a one world religious system. The beast and the false prophet will have their reign of 42 months (Revelation 13:5).

It is our position, as of February 2019, we are not in the seven year tribulation. There is no one world leader. There is no false prophet. There is no third Jewish Temple in Jerusalem for the antichrist to perform his abomination. Who and where are the two witnesses? Where is the ten nation federation?
February 4, 2019, Abu Dhabi: Representatives from two of the world’s major faiths have come together to sign a historic document. Pope Francis and Grand Imam Ahmed el-Tayeb have come together in the name of human fraternity, world peace, and togetherness.
Both parties have signed a document outlining what is believed to be common ground, fundamental truths, and basic human rights. The document discusses hopes and aspirations for humanity. For complete document details, click on the link below compliments of the Vatican.
Don’t kid yourself, we are trending towards a one world religion. Is one of these guys the false prophet of Revelation 13? That remains to be seen and time will tell…
The Bible tells us where “religion” is going and how it all ends. John the Revelator offers some simple advice. Don’t take the mark… eternal consequences.
Revelation 14:9-11 And another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, he also will drink the wine of God’s wrath, poured full strength into the cup of His anger, and he will be tormented with fire and sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever, and they have no rest, day or night, these worshipers of the beast and its image, and whoever receives the mark of its name.”
Memorial Day weekend proved to be an interesting time in the Holy Land. The Pope, Francis, visited the Middle East. There are many who think the Pope will be the Anti-Christ. The Roman Empire is being revived, so they say. Many have identified the Pope as the Anti-Christ. I would also encourage everyone to remember the Roman Empire had an eastern leg which included modern day Turkey, Iraq, and Syria.
The Pope had an interesting trip. He called for interfaith toleration and unity between the Muslims and the Jewish people. He visited the Muslim Dome on the Temple Mount and the Jewish Western Wall. He endorsed dividing the land and acknowledging a Palestinian state. With all due to respect to the pontiff, I would encourage him to read the Book of Joel. God says, “Do not divide My land.” This is not a good idea and not in accordance with God’s will.
The Pope has requested a peace meeting or summit next month (June 2014) at the Vatican between the Muslims and the Jews. I expect the Pope or somebody to invoke Father Abraham as a bridge to peace at some point in the future.
2 Thessalonians 2:1-8 Now we request you, brethren, with regard to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, that you not be quickly shaken from your composure or be disturbed either by a spirit or a message or a letter as if from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come. Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God. Do you not remember that while I was still with you, I was telling you these things? And you know what restrains him now, so that in his time he will be revealed. For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only he who now restrains will do so until he is taken out of the way. Then that lawless one will be revealed whom the Lord will slay with the breath of His mouth and bring to an end by the appearance of His coming…
Scripture tells us the Anti-Christ will NOT be revealed until the resurrection of the dead believers in Christ and the living believers in Christ are raptured into the clouds to meet Jesus. There is a lot of debate about the word “apostasy”. It is the word apostasia in the Greek. The word is transliterated. It can mean the following in the original Greek: a falling away, defection, or apostasy. The word is used one other time in the New Testament.
The key to the passage is noted later in these verses with the restrainer. Many take this “restrainer” to be the Holy Spirit who is indwelled in Christians. The restrainer will be removed when Christians are snatched into the clouds at the rapture by Jesus. Then, the Anti-Christ will be revealed and present himself to the world.
This passage also notes there will be a Jewish Temple. The Anti-Christ will present himself as being God in the temple. Currently, there is no Jewish Temple. But if we wake up one morning and there has been an agreement to rebuild the Temple…
