I don't but I think you are missing my point.
Just as an example.
If you get your teaching from Joyce Meyer, Benny Hinn, Kenneth Copeland, Billy Graham, Franklin Graham, Corrie Tenboom, C.S. Lewis, Watchman Nee, John MacArthur, Chuck Smith and Charles Stanley all at once you're going to end up with a doctrinal mess that looks like a plate of Spaghetti.

The Coming Psalm 83 (regional) War!
Psalm 90:10..."The days of our years (Generation) are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away". In other words..The days of our years are 70 years, or being stronger, 80 years; most of them are toil and pains, because affliction comes upon us and we are buffeted.
Matthew 24:34 - Mark 13:30 - Luke 21:32 (Signs of the End of the Age).."I tell you the truth, this generation (beginning in 1948) will certainly not pass away until all of these things have happened"
This is a Lengthy Article, however, being a Watchman, and knowing that Many Will Perish For Lack Of Knowledge, I choose to post it for those who are wise enough to believe the Word of God pertaining to the Signs of the End of the Age & This Last Generation. "Knowing that the Re-Birth of ISRAEL (1948) marked the beginning of this Last Generation , and we are already 65 years into this Last Generation, this post should serve as a wake up call. I believe we are witnessing the very beginnings of the Psalm 83 - Isaiah 17 & Ezekiel 38-39 prophecies taking shape before our very eyes. This article, "The Coming Psalm 83 (regional) War" should leave zero doubt as to the season & how little time is left before the Rapture takes place and The End Of The World As We Know It, begins.
While we watch the seizing of freedom in America and the steady march to the collapse of the dollar [which is taking world economies with it], the Middle East is starting to come unglued. We are a front row witness to the prophetic setting of the stage for the War of Gog & Magog. We have seen alliances form between lifelong enemies Russia and Iran while at the same time countries like Turkey move from leaning to the west to path of strategic alliance with Russia and Iran. We are very close to the War of Gog & Magog, but before this happens there will be a Middle East war that will quickly start, rapidly conclude, and then soon followed by the War of Gog & Magog.
Looking at the road ahead, Israel is on the verge of a preemptive strike on Iran's nuclear facilities. It is likely that this strike will either initiate this war or start a chain reaction of events that will quickly lead to this war.
The Bible tells us that the nation of Israel accomplishes all the prerequisites for the War of Gog & Magog via a military solution. In victory, they will become primed for the future events of the Russian-Iranian coalition destined to form against them. At the conclusion of this war [the war preceding the War of Gog & Magog known as the Psalm 83 War], Israel's conquest over the inner circle of the surrounding Arab populations of Palestinians, Syrians, Saudi Arabians, Egyptians, Lebanese, and Jordanians will see Israel's borders enlarged, prosperity increased, and national stature remarkably enhanced.
Ezekiel 28:24-26
24 No longer will the people of Israel have malicious neighbors who are painful briers and sharp thorns. Then they will know that I am the Sovereign LORD. 25 This is what the Sovereign LORD says: When I gather the people of Israel from the nations where they have been scattered, I will show myself holy among them in the sight of the nations. Then they will live in their own land, which I gave to my servant Jacob. 26 They will live there in safety and will build houses and plant vineyards; they will live in safety when I inflict punishment on all their neighbors who maligned them. Then they will know that I am the LORD their God.
Simply paraphrased: "Yes, they will dwell securely when I [God] execute judgments on all those [Arab Nations] around them who despise them." The Bible tells us that the national security Israel so desperately seeks today occurs via the judgments executed "on all those around them who despise them"
Surprisingly, "all those [Arab Nations] around them who despise" the emerging Jewish State of Israel, are conspicuously absent from the Russian/Iranian led coalition which includes Ethiopia, Libya, and Turkey along with several modern nations. Prophecy buffs have long wondered why this would be the case since presently "all those [Arab nations] around them who despise" Israel are some of the most vehement enemies of Israel. Coincidentally, the Arab nations in question are members of a distinctly separate and yet-to-be-fulfilled prophecy in the form of a petition to God found in Psalm 83:
Psalm 83:1-8
1 Do not keep silent, O God! Do not hold Your peace, and do not be still, O God! 2 For behold, Your enemies make a tumult; and those who hate You have lifted up their head. 3 They have taken crafty counsel against Your people, and consulted together against Your sheltered ones. 4 They have said, "Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation, that the name of Israel may be remembered no more." 5 For they have consulted together with one consent; they form a confederacy against You: 6 The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab and the Hagrites; 7 Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre; 8 Assyria also has joined with them; they have helped the children of Lot. Selah
We know that the Russian-Iranian led coalition will attempt to invade a militarily secure Israel. This condition of security becomes a reality only after the judgments are executed upon the surrounding Psalm 83 nations. The adversaries of Israel who seek to cut the Jews off from being a nation will form their own coalition. Unfortunately for them, they are described in Ezekiel 28:24-26 as "all those around them who despise them." They are those upon whom God will execute devastating judgments prior to the formation of the Russian-Iranian coalition via the IDF [Israeli Defense Force].
Two Different Wars
Many have confused the events of the War of Gog & Magog with a preceding war describe in Psalm, Ezekiel, Obadiah, Jeremiah, Isaiah, and Zephaniah. Keep in mind that it is God and God alone who destroys the Russian/Iranian coalition. However, in this war [the Psalm 83 War], it is the Israeli army who blessed by God destroys a different Arab coalition.
Ezekiel 25:13-14
Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: I will stretch out my hand against Edom and kill its men and their animals. I will lay it waste, and from Teman to Dedan [Saudi Arabia] they will fall by the sword. I will take vengeance on Edom by the hand of my people Israel [Israeli Defense Force IDF], and they will deal with Edom in accordance with my anger and my wrath; they will know my vengeance, declares the Sovereign LORD.
We must also look at the prerequisites for War of Gog & Magog:
1) Israel must be reestablished as a sovereign Jewish Nation.
2) Living securely "without walls" [Military secure].
3) Be living at peace in the Middle East.
4) One of, if not the richest nations on earth.
Ezekiel 38:10-12 tells us that at the time of the advancing Russian-Iranian led coalition, Israel will be "a people, who dwell safely, all if them dwelling without walls." Israel will be a nation at peace in the Middle East.
Here are the two different coalitions:
Psalm 83 Coalition:
Tents of Edom = [decedents of Esau] Palestinian Refugees and Southern Jordanians
Ishmaelites = Saudi Arabians
Moab = Palestinian Refugees and Central Jordanians
Hagrites = Egyptians
Gebal = Northern Lebanese
Ammon = Palestinian Refugees and Northern Jordanians
Amalek = Arabs South of Israel
Philista = Palestinian Refugees and Hamas of Gaza Strip
Inhabitants of Tyre = Hezbollah and Southern Lebanese
Assyria = Syrians and perhaps Northern Iraqis included
Children of Lot = Moab and Ammon
* Palestinians is the ethnic label tossed around loosely in modern times to identify three predominantly Arab groups of people: the Palestinians of the Gaza Strip, the Palestinians of the West Bank, and the Palestinian refugees. These groups inhabit the territories that most closely approach the borders of modern-day Israel. We generally understand that these groups are comprised of a mixture of peoples who descend from various origins, the main one of these being traceable back to Esau, father of the Edomites.
Gog Magog Coalition:
Magog, Rosh = Russia and the former Soviet republics
Persia = Iran
Cush = Sudan, Ethiopia, and Possibly Eritrea
Put = Libya, Algeria, and Tunisa
Gomer, Meshech, and Tubal = Turkey (and possibly Germany and Austria)
Beth-togarmah = Turkey, Armenia, and the Turkish-speaking people of Asia Minor & Central Asia
Fast Approaching War
This impending war in the Middle East will be a major and devastating war. The Arab confederacy of Psalm 83 will be defeated and destroyed by the army of Israel.The Psalm 83 War will occur soon, in advance of both the Russian-Iranian invasion attempt and the seventieth week of Daniel [seven year Tribulation period] This places the confederate members of Saudi Arabia, Southern Jordan, and Egypt within this war's scope. The army of Israel will cut off its confederate adversaries and then come down upon the Gaza territory. In continuing their conquest, they plunder the people of the East, which according to its scriptural usage in Genesis 29:1, would be Syria. They then lay their hands on all of Jordan causing its capitol to fall under Jewish sovereignty. Ammon represents northern Jordan, the location of the capitol city of Amman. Isaiah says the people of Ammon shall obey them, depicting the surrender of Jordanian sovereignty.
As this war rages, Isaiah 17 describes what will happen in the north with Syria. The description here is quite amazing. Please take a few seconds to open up and read Isaiah 17:1-14
Isaiah 17:1-9, is describing one of two events:
1) Syria launches some kind of chemical or biological attack that kills many in northern Israel which is then follow by a nuclear attack from Israel that wipes out Damascus.
OR EITHER
2) Israel fighting on all fronts and facing a Syrian army sweeping through the north utilize a limited version of its Samson Option [ Samson Option - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ] to avoid being overrun. This nuclear strike is clearly going hit Damascus which is just over the Israeli northern border. It could be that Isaiah 17:4-6 is describing the radiation poisoning experienced in the north due to the fallout. The results [from either event] are clearly spelled out. Damascus, the oldest continually inhabited city on earth, will be instantly and completely destroyed and Syria will be crushed by the IDF [Israeli Defense Force].
Isaiah 17:1,9,14
1 An oracle concerning Damascus: "See, Damascus will no longer be a city but will become a heap of ruins.
9 In that day their strong cities, which they left because of the Israelites, will be like places abandoned to thickets and undergrowth. And all will be desolation.
14 In the evening, sudden terror! Before the morning, they are gone! This is the portion of those who loot us, the lot of those who plunder us.
From Isaiah 11:14 & Isaiah 17:1 we know that Israel will destroy Damascus and completely take over Syria. Presently, almost every known Middle Easter terrorist organization has representation in Damascus. How fitting that the city that is the most adversarial to the nation of Israel will cease to exist.
Israel's Borders Expand: The New Middle East
The Bible tells us that as a result of this massive military victory given to Israel from God via the IDF, the face of the Middle East will drastically change. Israel will significantly increase in size. The tiny nation of Israel as we currently know it will soon encompass a major portion of the Middle East. The nations that form this Arab coalition fall [for the most part] within the scope of land from the covenant that God made with Abraham. At the end of this war, Israel's borders will be reset to that of, or very close to, the borders that God established for Israel in is covenant with Abraham. Genesis 15:18. Isaiah tells us that the expansion of Israeli sovereignty in the region will even reach into Egypt to some degree. Israel will be elevated to a condition of regional superiority due to their decisive victory over the Arab confederacy. As such, they dwell securely in the Middle East [for a time].
IMPORTANT: A Signal to Christians
The judgment to befall Edom will serve as a precursor to the judgment that will come in "the day of the Lord upon all the nations." Zephaniah 2 [Amplified Bible] makes clear that this judgment against Edom, which also extends to the other confederate member nations, is to serve as an example to the other nations but more importantly it is a call to the "meek of the Earth" to get right before "the day of the Lord" and the Rapture of the Church occurs. Lastly, he declares that these events occur before the day of the Lord arrives, which is the period of time known as Tribulation. He prophesies all of the above for the primary purpose of invoking the "meek of the Earth" [Christians] into the worship of God. Because prophecy is watching God keep His promises, Yesterday's Prophecies Are Today's Headlines! Know that ISRAEL is God's Prophetic Timepiece and don't get Left Behind. Keep looking up!!

A WATCHMAN
Use prophecy to witness
The dry bones of Ezekiel 37 have come together. The signs Jesus spoke of in His Olivet Discourse and the events of Daniel’s 70th week loom on the horizon. The Rapture will happen first, so we know it is getting close. Have you heard about the events of Ezekiel 38 and 39? It’s on the very near horizon. Events are all coming about just as God told us through the prophets of old, but many Christians get confused because they just don’t study God’s word. Don’t be intimidated; study prophecy. It is a great witnessing tool that can be used in a conversation with an unsaved friend or relative to show them that they need to give their life to Christ.
Each Christian should study God’s word and understand that we are nearing the end of time, but it’s important to study prophecy in light of today’s knowledge. The prophets spoke what God told them, but much could not be understood even a century ago. Many commentators of yesteryear came to wrong conclusions based on the understanding of their day, so be careful when you study older commentators. “But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.” Daniel 12:4. The Hebrew word “da’ath” is translated “knowledge” and means “discernment, understanding, wisdom”. Older commentators just didn’t have the understanding of events that we have today. As we study prophecy we need to increase our own “discernment, understanding, wisdom” in order to be more effective in our witnessing.
Many people close their minds to prophecy saying that it is just too hard to understand. There are Christians, as well as the unsaved, who scoff at and mock the word of God when it comes to prophecy, but then that is prophetic too. “Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, and saying, Where is the promise of his coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.” 2 Peter 3:3-4. Study will give you an answer for those who scoff. The “promise of His coming” will soon be fulfilled, but as Christians we yearn for the Rapture. We will not face the wrath of God but those who have not accepted Christ as their Saviour will face horrendous times before Christ’s second coming. “For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.” Matthew 24:21. Those are Jesus’ words and they should be taken seriously. He goes on to compare it to the time of Noah, and anyone who thinks God judged His entire creation because Seth’s sons were marrying Cain’s daughters has blinders on. History tells of a time when Christians were being thrown to lions for entertainment and of the horrors that took place during the Holocaust. We shudder at man’s hatred toward other men but Jesus says the Great Tribulation will be worse. News headlines of today are filled with horrendous stories of people being slaughtered because their beliefs don’t line up with Muslim thinking. As we draw closer to the Rapture the birth pangs will get increasingly worse, then Daniel’s 70th week will begin, and then Jesus says the last 3 ½ years of that seven year period will bring worse tribulation than anything that has ever been seen before. Anyone who rejects Jesus will face that time of judgment, but Christians are promised that we won’t face God’s wrath. “And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.” 1 Thessalonians 1:10. Yes, prophecy can be a great witnessing tool. You shouldn’t use it as a scare tactic, but as fact.
As believers we have many challenges before us, but what can we do? We see the signs of the times and should understand the urgency of witnessing to our family and friends, but we can feel overwhelmed. We need to be in constant prayer, not only for the lost but for Jerusalem “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.” Psalm 122:6. We also need to maintain a close relationship with our fellow Christians and keep Christ first in our life. There is also a great need to study God’s word. As Peter said “there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, and saying, Where is the promise of his coming?” You need to have an answer for this.
The truth of the Rapture and believing that its time is near has led some to become complacent in their duty to Christ. Complacency is of the devil and he would love it if those who are born again would all just sit back, relax, and wait on the Rapture. He would also love it if Christians would remain ignorant of prophecy and blind to the fact that time is short. Satan is hard at work convincing the lost that they are in good shape and not to worry or take seriously what those wacky Christians are promoting. Even if the Rapture is still a few years off, how many of your friends and relatives run the risk of dying without knowing Christ? They need to hear the truth and understand that only Jesus Christ offers salvation. They need to stop being scoffers and become believers before it’s too late.
Satan is the evil behind scoffers and their attitude. As believers in Christ we must combat the lies put forth by Satan and those who follow him. Even Peter was used by Satan to scoff at Jesus’ words and try to stop Him from going to Jerusalem to be crucified. “But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men”. Matthew 16:23. Whenever we hear someone spouting off against believers, and most importantly against our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, we can know without a doubt that we are hearing Satan speak. I can tell you that the Holy Spirit has a louder voice and can drown out Satan at every turn if Christians will only speak up.
Christians must adhere to Jesus’ commandments in every aspect of our lives, even when faced by unbelief of those around us. We all have our own miniature world to evangelize and that means that no matter where you go you are to spread the Gospel of Christ. If you are on a business trip don’t leave your Christianity at home. When you’re on vacation or if you’re just out running errands, remember you represent Christ. Our lives should always reflect our faith in Christ. We never know when God’s going to ask us to step out in faith and talk to someone about their salvation. “But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:” 1 Peter 3:15. If you are having dinner with a business acquaintance and the conversation turns to events surrounding Israel, can you defend Israel’s right to the land and tell how prophecy is unfolding? The answer is in God’s word and not on the 6 o’clock news. Can you explain the hope you have in Jesus Christ? You might want to do some study in order to have answers.
Don’t neglect a regular Bible study routine. The Holy Spirit will teach us through prayer and study, and that will give us confidence and boldness to witness for Christ. The Holy Spirit will open doors for you to share the Gospel of Christ with others and prophecy is a great place to open a conversation. Most people hear what’s going on in the Middle East and if you understand that prophecy is being fulfilled you can share the Truth with the lost people around you. That will open up avenues for you to explain their need for salvation. God’s judgment is coming soon, but only Christians are given the promise that we will be saved from God’s wrath “For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.” 1 Thessalonians 5:9-10.
The resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ was the most important event in history and now we are rapidly approaching the second most important event in history… that is the Rapture. Christians must step out in faith to follow Jesus’ commandment to spread His Gospel. I believe some huge obstacles will be thrust directly into the lives of those Christians who faithfully follow Christ’s commandment to share the Gospel. Satan isn’t just going to sit idly by whilst we take away his followers. You may feel the heat of battle, but if you put on the armor of God you will have His protection.
Witnessing can be one of the most daunting tasks for believers and in many countries it is a life threatening choice. It seems as if people are offended by our Christian faith and have no qualms about scoffing and mocking our Lord. Nevertheless we aren’t to shirk our duty and keep silent. Paul was violently persecuted but still continued evangelizing. Nothing dampened his desire to share the Gospel. He prayed for relief from his “thorn in the flesh” but God answered “… My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.” 2 Corinthians 12:9. Is His grace sufficient for you, or are you afraid of persecution?
Current events in the world can cause us to fear, but you can use these events to open doors for witnessing. The Old Testament is filled with prophecy concerning the birth and life of Jesus. Learn these prophecies and be ready to share. Also learn about the many prophecies concerning the events of today and of the not so distant future. If you don’t study these prophecies you will remain as blind as the lost world around you and you will miss many opportunities to share the truth of God’s word. Today Christians are standing in the sandals of the disciples of old. It’s our responsibility to proclaim the Gospel of Christ and we must not retreat from our assigned task. “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15. It does take effort and study on your part, but it is worth it.
Certainly the Rapture of Christ’s Ekklesia is nigh and we rejoice in knowing that soon we will be caught up to be forever with our Lord Jesus. If you study prophecy and then follow the current events of the world, especially as they relate to Israel, you will know that Daniel’s 70th week is near and that means the Rapture is even nearer. Be bold and witness while you can. Study prophecy and understand the times we live in. Use this information to share the Gospel with others. Look around you and pray that God will give you boldness to share the Gospel with the lost who cross your path. You really don’t want anyone left here to face Daniel’s 70th week because you were too fearful to tell them the Truth.
God bless you all,

The dry bones of Ezekiel 37 have come together. The signs Jesus spoke of in His Olivet Discourse and the events of Daniel’s 70th week loom on the horizon. The Rapture will happen first, so we know it is getting close. Have you heard about the events of Ezekiel 38 and 39? It’s on the very near horizon. Events are all coming about just as God told us through the prophets of old, but many Christians get confused because they just don’t study God’s word. Don’t be intimidated; study prophecy. It is a great witnessing tool that can be used in a conversation with an unsaved friend or relative to show them that they need to give their life to Christ.
Each Christian should study God’s word and understand that we are nearing the end of time, but it’s important to study prophecy in light of today’s knowledge. The prophets spoke what God told them, but much could not be understood even a century ago. Many commentators of yesteryear came to wrong conclusions based on the understanding of their day, so be careful when you study older commentators. “But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.” Daniel 12:4. The Hebrew word “da’ath” is translated “knowledge” and means “discernment, understanding, wisdom”. Older commentators just didn’t have the understanding of events that we have today. As we study prophecy we need to increase our own “discernment, understanding, wisdom” in order to be more effective in our witnessing.
Many people close their minds to prophecy saying that it is just too hard to understand. There are Christians, as well as the unsaved, who scoff at and mock the word of God when it comes to prophecy, but then that is prophetic too. “Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, and saying, Where is the promise of his coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.” 2 Peter 3:3-4. Study will give you an answer for those who scoff. The “promise of His coming” will soon be fulfilled, but as Christians we yearn for the Rapture. We will not face the wrath of God but those who have not accepted Christ as their Saviour will face horrendous times before Christ’s second coming. “For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.” Matthew 24:21. Those are Jesus’ words and they should be taken seriously. He goes on to compare it to the time of Noah, and anyone who thinks God judged His entire creation because Seth’s sons were marrying Cain’s daughters has blinders on. History tells of a time when Christians were being thrown to lions for entertainment and of the horrors that took place during the Holocaust. We shudder at man’s hatred toward other men but Jesus says the Great Tribulation will be worse. News headlines of today are filled with horrendous stories of people being slaughtered because their beliefs don’t line up with Muslim thinking. As we draw closer to the Rapture the birth pangs will get increasingly worse, then Daniel’s 70th week will begin, and then Jesus says the last 3 ½ years of that seven year period will bring worse tribulation than anything that has ever been seen before. Anyone who rejects Jesus will face that time of judgment, but Christians are promised that we won’t face God’s wrath. “And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.” 1 Thessalonians 1:10. Yes, prophecy can be a great witnessing tool. You shouldn’t use it as a scare tactic, but as fact.
As believers we have many challenges before us, but what can we do? We see the signs of the times and should understand the urgency of witnessing to our family and friends, but we can feel overwhelmed. We need to be in constant prayer, not only for the lost but for Jerusalem “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.” Psalm 122:6. We also need to maintain a close relationship with our fellow Christians and keep Christ first in our life. There is also a great need to study God’s word. As Peter said “there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, and saying, Where is the promise of his coming?” You need to have an answer for this.
The truth of the Rapture and believing that its time is near has led some to become complacent in their duty to Christ. Complacency is of the devil and he would love it if those who are born again would all just sit back, relax, and wait on the Rapture. He would also love it if Christians would remain ignorant of prophecy and blind to the fact that time is short. Satan is hard at work convincing the lost that they are in good shape and not to worry or take seriously what those wacky Christians are promoting. Even if the Rapture is still a few years off, how many of your friends and relatives run the risk of dying without knowing Christ? They need to hear the truth and understand that only Jesus Christ offers salvation. They need to stop being scoffers and become believers before it’s too late.
Satan is the evil behind scoffers and their attitude. As believers in Christ we must combat the lies put forth by Satan and those who follow him. Even Peter was used by Satan to scoff at Jesus’ words and try to stop Him from going to Jerusalem to be crucified. “But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men”. Matthew 16:23. Whenever we hear someone spouting off against believers, and most importantly against our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, we can know without a doubt that we are hearing Satan speak. I can tell you that the Holy Spirit has a louder voice and can drown out Satan at every turn if Christians will only speak up.
Christians must adhere to Jesus’ commandments in every aspect of our lives, even when faced by unbelief of those around us. We all have our own miniature world to evangelize and that means that no matter where you go you are to spread the Gospel of Christ. If you are on a business trip don’t leave your Christianity at home. When you’re on vacation or if you’re just out running errands, remember you represent Christ. Our lives should always reflect our faith in Christ. We never know when God’s going to ask us to step out in faith and talk to someone about their salvation. “But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:” 1 Peter 3:15. If you are having dinner with a business acquaintance and the conversation turns to events surrounding Israel, can you defend Israel’s right to the land and tell how prophecy is unfolding? The answer is in God’s word and not on the 6 o’clock news. Can you explain the hope you have in Jesus Christ? You might want to do some study in order to have answers.
Don’t neglect a regular Bible study routine. The Holy Spirit will teach us through prayer and study, and that will give us confidence and boldness to witness for Christ. The Holy Spirit will open doors for you to share the Gospel of Christ with others and prophecy is a great place to open a conversation. Most people hear what’s going on in the Middle East and if you understand that prophecy is being fulfilled you can share the Truth with the lost people around you. That will open up avenues for you to explain their need for salvation.

No, that is just someone you happen to agree with, but if you cannot put your words down, why bother with parroting what someone else said.
They are not your thoughts, but thoughts someone put in your head, no thought process involved or even needed. If you cannot explain something in "your own words" then you are struggling to understand. The best test of understanding is the ability to explain it to someone that knows nothing on the topic.
The topic doesn't matter, if you can't articulate it, it is a mystery to you.

From a stronger UN better able to implement its “mandates” to empowering the UN General Assembly as an “emblem of global sovereignty” and advancing a global reserve currency run by the IMF, the radical screed demands a dramatic planetary transformation.
“We fully respect the principles and purposes of the Charter of the United Nations and international law, particularly as they relate to equality among States,” the regimes said in the final agreement, calling for the “strengthening” of the UN for a wide variety of purposes. “We recognize that the United Nations needs to improve its capabilities and capacities to fully implement its mandates and to ensure the effective delivery of its programs in the social and economic development fields.” The agreement, dubbed the “Declaration of Santa Cruz: For a New World Order for Living Well,” also called for empowering the despot-dominated UN General Assembly to be a sort of veto-proof planetary legislature.

Slaughtering Christians as sport
As we look at the pictures and read the reports coming from Iraq about the Islamic State (IS), it is important to discern what is real and what is not. There is much misinformation, but there is also documented information that is virtually unspeakable. I know for even myself, it is difficult to process pictures of children being beheaded, crucified, and slaughtered at the hands of a ruthless organization such as the IS. Even more difficult to stomach is the fact that we have been able to document the genesis of the Islamic State and the current "president's" involvement in it. This is beyond belief that American leadership would purposely or even inadvertently aid and abet such evil.
While it is not the United States' responsibility to be the world's policeman, if we see gross atrocity taking place and can do something about it, it would seem moral duty to do so. We waited far too long in WWII to believe what was happening to the Jews at the hands of Hitler's monsters. Let us remember that Islam was working in league with Hitler to assist in exterminating the Jewish people. How long will we wait to put an end to this barbaric juggernaut executing those who do not conform to Islamic demands? My guess is: a long while. In the eyes of this White House, Christians aren't worth much. It is evident in policy, actions, and rhetoric. Islam is the favorite of the "president." He is getting what he wants.
His is a Jeremiah 6:14 approach: "They have healed also the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace." In other words, the "president" pays lip service to the atrocities of Islam, but does nothing to stop them. He proclaims how the IS ideology represents no god or religion, but his steps in ending the brutality are so soft they leave not even a mark on his favorite golf course. Remember the outcry of Democratic leaders when President George W Bush wanted to take out Saddam Hussein in Iraq and al Qaeda in Afghanistan? "Build a coalition," they demanded. This "president" goes it alone with nary a whimper of opposition. And he is working with al Qaeda.
How times have changed. An American "president" supporting those who seek the destruction of every Jew and Christian on earth by working with the Muslim Brotherhood and its offshoot al Qaeda (who has endorsed its offspring the Islamic State) as a foreign policy partner--preposterous! These are those who slaughter Jews and Christians for sport. They despise and oppress God's people. As similar to James 2:7, "Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which you are called?" Yes, this "president" does. Yes, this "administration" does. They have since they first took office and become even bolder each day. Inside the walls of this White House is every evil imaginable. It is public by deed, and growing bolder.

The Fig Tree Prophecy of Matthew 24
There is only one place in the world that God has declared as holy, and that's Mount Zion and the land of Israel. The prophet Isaiah wrote this - "Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when the LORD of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients gloriously." Isaiah 24:23. There is only one people that are God's "chosen people", and they are the Jews. "And I have put my words in thy mouth, and I have covered thee in the shadow of mine hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and say unto Zion, Thou art my people." Isaiah 51:16. And there is one main event in bible prophecy that had to happen to usher in the time that the bible calls the "Last Days", or the "time of Jacob's trouble", and that event happened on May 14, 1948.
The Apostles came to Jesus and asked Him about the end of the world, and how would people living then know it was happening. It went like this:
"And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet." Matthew 24: 2-6 So Jesus begins to tell them about how things will gradually heat up and increase until we reach the time that we call the Last Days. The Book of Matthew continues, giving more and more details and time clues until we reach the "big clue", the biggest one of them all. Stating in Matthew 24:32, Jesus says this:"Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled." So He tells them that the generation of people that will be alive on the earth when the Last Days come about, would witness what He called the "fig tree" blooming, and putting forth it's leaves. And He equated that with the fulfillment of His End Time prophecy. So what or who is the "fig tree"? It would seem that if we could figure that out, then we would know who the Last Generation might be.
Throughout recorded history, nations have always be typified by "types and figures" to describe them. Russia is the "bear", America is the "eagle", England the "lion", and Israel the "fig tree". Wait...did I just say "fig tree"? Wow, what a coincidence! So Jesus was saying that when you see ISRAEL re-blooming, whenever that would take place, that that generation would be the one that would be on the earth and living when the Last Days would occur. So if Israel was destroyed in 70 AD, and it was, when did it "bloom" again? May 14, 1948 is the date that history records that fact occuring. The generation that witnessed that, the WWII generation, still have not, for all intents and purposes, passed off the scene. They are still alive and with us today, and we are the people that Jesus said would be alive on the earth when the Last Days would happen.
The time of the "last days" that Jesus refered to, is not "in the future" and it's not "coming soon". It is here right now. For the past 6 decades, all the major players have been taking the stage and playing the parts that God said they would.
Consider the following events which have already taken place:
• Russia and China, two major End Times players, have already signed a pact.
• Russia, the biggest End Times player, has already helped Iran build a nuclear reactor.
• Iran has repeated over and over their desire to wipe Israel off the map.
• Iran now has nuclear weapons capable of reaching Israel.
Everyone who watches drama play out between the Jews and the Arabs nervously watch and wait for what they all fear will happen - World War III. What is Israel today? It is a "cup of trembling" for the whole world to see. And how accurate was God's prophecy that He gave to Zechariah? 100%. And in what time of history did God say that this prophecy would come true? In the Last Days...which is exactlly where we find ourselves right now. Yes, that's right, if God is to be believed, according to His Word, we are indeed in the Last Days. So, yes, WWIII is on it's way, and will be fought very, very soon. Would you like to know how it all turns out for all the nations that will attack Israel? This is exactly how it will turn out:"And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn."

"Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, andputteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: So likewise ye, when
ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things
be fulfilled." Matthew 24:32-34
This is what's known as the Fig Tree Prophecy.
The Parable of the Fig Tree
ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things
be fulfilled." Matthew 24:32-34
This is what's known as the Fig Tree Prophecy.
The Parable of the Fig Tree
The Apostles came to Jesus and asked Him about the end of the world, and how would people living then know it was happening. It went like this:
"And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet." Matthew 24: 2-6 So Jesus begins to tell them about how things will gradually heat up and increase until we reach the time that we call the Last Days. The Book of Matthew continues, giving more and more details and time clues until we reach the "big clue", the biggest one of them all. Stating in Matthew 24:32, Jesus says this:"Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled." So He tells them that the generation of people that will be alive on the earth when the Last Days come about, would witness what He called the "fig tree" blooming, and putting forth it's leaves. And He equated that with the fulfillment of His End Time prophecy. So what or who is the "fig tree"? It would seem that if we could figure that out, then we would know who the Last Generation might be.
Throughout recorded history, nations have always be typified by "types and figures" to describe them. Russia is the "bear", America is the "eagle", England the "lion", and Israel the "fig tree". Wait...did I just say "fig tree"? Wow, what a coincidence! So Jesus was saying that when you see ISRAEL re-blooming, whenever that would take place, that that generation would be the one that would be on the earth and living when the Last Days would occur. So if Israel was destroyed in 70 AD, and it was, when did it "bloom" again? May 14, 1948 is the date that history records that fact occuring. The generation that witnessed that, the WWII generation, still have not, for all intents and purposes, passed off the scene. They are still alive and with us today, and we are the people that Jesus said would be alive on the earth when the Last Days would happen.
That time is right now. Let it sink in for a moment, I will say it again.
The time of the "last days" that Jesus refered to, is not "in the future" and it's not "coming soon". It is here right now. For the past 6 decades, all the major players have been taking the stage and playing the parts that God said they would.
Consider the following events which have already taken place:
• Russia and China, two major End Times players, have already signed a pact.
• Russia, the biggest End Times player, has already helped Iran build a nuclear reactor.
• Iran has repeated over and over their desire to wipe Israel off the map.
• Iran now has nuclear weapons capable of reaching Israel.
Everyone who watches drama play out between the Jews and the Arabs nervously watch and wait for what they all fear will happen - World War III. What is Israel today? It is a "cup of trembling" for the whole world to see. And how accurate was God's prophecy that He gave to Zechariah? 100%. And in what time of history did God say that this prophecy would come true? In the Last Days...which is exactlly where we find ourselves right now. Yes, that's right, if God is to be believed, according to His Word, we are indeed in the Last Days. So, yes, WWIII is on it's way, and will be fought very, very soon. Would you like to know how it all turns out for all the nations that will attack Israel? This is exactly how it will turn out:"And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn."
Zechariah 12: 9,10
