יום תרועה (Feast of Trumpets) – May It Be a Good Year (L’shanah Tovah)

SHOFAR 3

The Feast of Trumpets, Yom Teruah (יום תרועה) in Hebrew, is estimated to begin at sunset tomorrow Israel Standard Time (IST), on September 6, 2021 (the start will not be official until a sliver of the moon is spotted, signifying the new moon). It is one of seven feasts God commanded the children of Israel to observe (Leviticus 23). Some also refer to the Feast of Trumpets as the “mystery feast,” because the Lord didn’t tell Moses, at least it isn’t specifically stated in Leviticus 23, why they should blow trumpets and observe that day, except that it was a “memorial” of blowing trumpets.

The only time “trumpet” is mentioned in scriptures prior to the Feast of Trumpets in Leviticus 23, is in Exodus 19, when God told Moses that when the people heard the “trumpet sound long” they were to come up to Mount Sinai to “meet with God” (Exodus 19-20); so this is the only event that He could have been referring to: when the people gathered to meet God, and God came down to the top of Mount Sinai to meet with Moses, at the sound of the trumpet. This is the event we are to remember, memorialize, on the Feast of Trumpets.

There is also a day coming which coincides with this memorial, which is referred to in the Holy Word of God as a meeting in the air with our Savior Jesus Christ:

“For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God; and the dead in Christ will rise first, then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and thus shall we ever be with the Lord. Therefore, comfort one another with these words” 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 (ET – Elim אֵילִם Translation)

The dead shall be raised at the sound of God’s trumpet and those remaining on the earth who are Christians will be caught up together to meet them and they will meet Jesus our Savior in the air!

God came down at the sound of the trumpet on Mount Sinai. Jesus will return for His people at the sound of a trumpet before the great tribulation begins, to save them from His wrath, which shall come upon the wicked:

And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, even Jesus, Who delivered us from the wrath to come” 1 Thessalonians 1:10 (ET – Elim אֵילִם Translation)

“The nations were angry and Your wrath has come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged and that You should give reward to Your servants, the prophets, the saints and those who fear Your name, small and great; and should destroy those who destroy the earth” Revelation 11:18 (ET – Elim אֵילִם Translation)

We should celebrate Yom Teruah in memory of God’s descent to meet with Moses on Mount Sinai; but we should also celebrate Yom Teruah because it is a type and shadow of the Lord’s return to meet with His people in the air (1 Thessalonians 4:16-18).

Jesus was crucified at Passover (Luke 22:15); He was raised from the dead at Firstfruits (1 Corinthians 15:20); and the Holy Spirit, which He promised to His disciples, came upon them at Pentecost (Acts 2:1-4).

In the same manner of fulfillment, I believe Jesus will catch up (or “rapture” – Latin Vulgate translation, “rapiemur”) His saints (1 Thessalonians 4:16-18) on Yom Teruah, or the Feast of Trumpets. We don’t know which year, nor do we know the day or hour (Jesus said we would not know the day or hour of His return [Matthew 25:13]), because the actual day of the Feast of Trumpets is not known until the sliver of the moon appears, marking the new moon. It is a mystery until the very day arrives!

Jesus could very well come this year on the Feast of Trumpets!

Are you ready?

Salvation is offered to everyone who repents of sin and receives Jesus as their Lord and Savior, unless a person crosses a line with God, to the point of becoming reprobate, having no conscience (Romans 1:21-32; Hebrews 6:4-6). Now is the time of salvation for everyone; tomorrow, or even the next hour, could be too late.

Hundreds of Bible prophecies have been fulfilled and those remaining shall surely come to pass. Are you prepared to stand before God and give an account of the life you have lived on this earth (Revelation 20:12-15)? If not, salvation is only a prayer away.

Erdogan Calls Islamic World To Unite Against Israel

ERDOGAN

ERDOGAN CALLS ISLAMIC WORLD TO UNITE AGAINST ISRAEL

Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan called the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) to a summit Friday at 3 pm.

Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim said,

“The Islamic world should move as one, with one voice, against this massacre,” referring to Palestinians killed while tossing grenades, firing at Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) and rushing Israel’s border.

Hamas leader Salah Bardawil said that of the 62 Gazans killed during the riots, 50 were Hamas members.

Hamas is a Muslim terrorist organization, folks. The nations of the world, except for the United States, and perhaps few others, have condemned Israel for the deaths of Hamas terrorists, and 12 others, who were battling IDF to enter Israel.

How insane is that thinking?

A reasonable person only needs to ask themselves if Gazans and Hamas terrorists, who hate you and consistently fly missiles into your nation to kill people, try to breach your border and they are tossing grenades and firing at your troops, what would I do?

Have the nations lost their minds? If you visit frequently, you already know the summation I have posted in response to that question. These people are not sane, because of the devil they serve.

You will not hear that any Palestinian had a weapon, or that they used weapons against IDF from Muslim news sources, or from Islamic leaders.

Israel is defending his borders and he has every right to keep Muslim terrorists and Palestinians from rushing Israel’s border, or firing and tossing grenades on IDF.

Israel defends himself; the Muslim world calls it a “massacre.” How illogical is that?

About 2,700 years ago, the Prophet Micah prophesied this concerning Israel and the latter days:

“In the last days, it shall come to pass that the mountain of the house of the Lord (Temple Mount) shall be established in the top of the mountains and it shall be exalted above the hills and people shall flow into it…I will make her that halted (Israel), a remnant, and her that was cast off, a strong nation; and the Lord shall reign over them in Mount Zion from henceforth, even forever…Now also many nations are gathered against you that say, Let her (Israel) be defiled and let our eyes look upon Zion; but they don’t know the thoughts of the Lord, nor do they understand His counsel, for He shall gather them as sheaves into the floor. Arise and thresh, oh daughter of Zion (Israel), for I will make your horn iron and your hooves brass and you will beat in pieces many people, and I will consecrate their gain unto the Lord and their substance unto the Lord of the whole earth” Micah 4:1, 7, 11-13 (emphasis added).

As Micah prophesied, the Islamic nations have planned to come against Israel in these latter days.

This is happening, just as prophesied, and what we are seeing right now was foretold over 2,700 years ago.

People are used to pushing Israel around over the last couple of millennia and stomping them underfoot; but this time around, the Lord will be with Israel and he will spear his enemies with a “horn of iron” and tread upon them with “hooves of brass!”

The Prophet Micah also wrote,

“The nations shall see and be confounded at their (Israel’s) might; they shall lay their hand upon their mouth, their ears shall be deaf. They shall lick the dust like a serpent; they shall move out of their holes (Gaza tunnels?) like worms of the earth; they shall be afraid of the Lord our God and shall fear because of you” Micah 7:16-17.

The antichrist kingdom will come against Jerusalem at the end of the seven-year tribulation period (Battle of Armageddon – Zechariah 14). Albeit, the battle of prince Gog of the land of Magog, prophesied by Ezekiel (Ezekiel 38), will happen seven years before that time, and that is where we are heading right now.

Some Bible scholars believe Gog of Magog is the prince of Turkey, and others believe this evil prince resides over Russia. Because of a vision I received from the Lord on 11/8/10, I believe the Gog war involves Russia, which has already allied with Iran (Persia), and that battle is next prophetically.

Who helped Iran build nuclear power? Russia, not Turkey. Russia has helped Iran develop nuclear power, and it will be Russia that “comes to the rescue” when Iran’s nuclear power blows to smithereens.

Iran threatens Israel constantly and they still laud the ideology of their Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khomeini, who said in 1980,

“We do not worship Iran, we worship Allah, for patriotism is another name for paganism. I say let this land burn. I say let this land go up in smoke, provided Islam emerges triumphant in the rest of the world.”

Live, die, sink or swim, Muslims are out to conquer the world, and their hearts are set on bringing down Israel first, because Israel is God’s elect (Christians are grafted in Romans 11). Satan hates Israel, and the servants of satan hate Israel too.

More recently, Iran’s current Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said, “Israel is the enemy of God.” Just last month, he called for all Muslim nations to “defeat Israel” and “with an intense and planned struggle, they should force the enemy to retreat toward the point of demise.”

This has been the call of Iran’s leaders before Erdogan called for an OIC summit on Friday.

When Iran’s nuclear power blows to smithereens, it will also be Russia that comes against Israel, with Iran (Persia) and the ancient regions of Libya and Ethiopia, according to the prophecy of Ezekiel 38.

After this war, as a seven-year peace treaty takes place, the saints had better be prayed up, looking up and ready to go, because chronologically, according to Bible prophecy, the “catching up” takes place (1 Thessalonians 4:16-18); and seven years later, we will return with Christ (Revelation 19) to defeat the antichrist kingdom and rule and reign with Christ for a thousand years (Ezekiel 40-48; Revelation 20).

Hundreds of Bible prophecies have been fulfilled and those remaining shall surely come to pass. Are you prepared to stand before God and give an account of the life you have lived on this earth (Revelation 20:12-15)? If not, salvation is only a prayer away.

Record-Breaking Wildfires Already This Year!

Screen shots: YouTube.com

RECORD-BREAKING WILDFIRES ALREADY THIS YEAR!

Burning more than four times the national average so far this year, The Weather Channel reported that 14,529 wildfires have already burned nearly 2.2 million acres as of April 7, 2017!

Oklahoma, Texas, Florida and the Carolinas have been the epicenter for the worst wildfires this year.

Although the number of wildfires through April has been close to the average of 13,731, the amount of acreage burned is phenomenal compared to the 2007-2016 average.

This news is a fulfillment of last days Bible prophecy. The Prophet Jeremiah wrote:

“Do they provoke Me to anger, saith the Lord? Do they not provoke themselves to the confusion of their own faces? Therefore, thus saith the Lord God, Behold, My anger and My fury shall be poured out upon this place, upon man, upon beast, upon the trees of the field and upon the fruit of the ground, and it shall burn and not be quenched” Jeremiah 7:19-20.

God was actually speaking to rebellious Israel in the above passage; but will He chastise Israel, though not recompense this vile nation for its evil rebellion and bloodshed? God most certainly will, and He is doing so now.

Because most of the world’s inhabitants will not repent, according to Bible prophecy, the wrath of God will continue to be poured out until the end of this dispensation, which is actually a time of mercy and grace, so be warned!

The Prophet Joel wrote:

“Oh Lord, to You will I cry, for the fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness and the flame has burned all the trees of the field” Joel 1:19.

John the Revelator wrote:

“The first angel sounded and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood and they were cast upon the earth, and the third part of trees was burnt up and all the green grass was burnt up” Revelation 8:7.

God will, however, rescue His people before the worst of His wrath is poured out (1 Thessalonians 4:16-18).

Hundreds of Bible prophecies have been fulfilled and those remaining shall surely come to pass. Are you prepared to stand before God and give an account of the life you have lived on this earth? If not, salvation is only a prayer away. Please visit the How Can I Be Saved page – your eternal destiny depends on it. God bless you.
