A Call for Prayer

I have requested prayer previously for the following persecuted saints, and they still need prayer, so this is a reminder for some of you, friends, please keep praying.

Leah Sharibu, abducted at age 15

Leah Sharibu

Leah Sharibu was kidnapped with 110 other schoolgirls in Nigeria by the Muslim terrorist group Boko Haram on February 19, 2018. The terrorists killed five of those girls and released 104, once they renounced their Christian faith, but they are still holding Leah Sharibu, because she refuses to renounce her faith in Jesus.

*Six more Christian girls have been kidnapped in Nigeria by Boko Haram and they too need our urgent prayers daily.

Pastor Nadarkhani and his family

Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani

Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani was previously arrested and sentenced to die for his Christian faith, “apostasy,” but after much prayer and public outcry, Nadarkhani was acquitted and released from prison, after having spent nearly three years in prison. Pastor Nadarkhani was arrested again on July 22, 2018. Iranian forces raided his home, beating him in front of his family, and they even tasered one of his young sons when he answered the door. Only a Muslim terrorist would taser a young boy, an innocent boy, who simply answered the door! We need another miracle for Pastor Nadarkhani. God delivered him before and He will deliver him again! We have to pray daily, saints.

Pastor Nerren (left) and his family

Pastor Bryan Nerren

American Pastor Bryan Nerren is a Christian pastor who lives in Tennessee with his family. He was attending a Christian conference in India and was arrested after being asked if he was a Christian. He has been held in India because of his Christian faith since October 5, 2019. He was not allowed any visitation by his attorney, or the US Consulate. His passport was confiscated and India refuses to allow him to return home to his family. Pastor Nerren has a special needs daughter and his family is devastated. India is listed as the #10 nation on the Open Doors World Watch List for Christian Persecution.

Pastor John Cao

Pastor John Cao, a US citizen from North Carolina, was doing charitable work in China, when he was arrested and sentenced to seven years prison for his Christian faith. Pastor Cao’s health is deteriorating and he has already lost at least 50 pounds; he could potentially die in China’s harsh prison environment, unless God delivers him. He shares a cell with 12 inmates which is furnished with only one bed!

Bob (Robert) Levinson

Bob Levinson was arrested in Iran in 2007 and has been held by the terrorist regime since that time. He is an American citizen, reportedly a former CIA agent, and he was taken into custody while working as a private investigator. Iranian officials interrogated Levinson in 2007, but have since denied knowing his whereabouts. I am not aware of Bob Levinson’s religion/faith, but he and his family also need our prayers.

All of these desperately need our prayers; please pray for them daily.

The Word of God tells us,

“All these are the beginning of sorrows; then they shall deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you, and you shall be hated of all nations for My name’s sake” Matthew 24:8-9

“There should be no schism in the body (body of Christ, the Church), but the members should have the same care for one another. And whether one member suffers, all members suffer with him; or if one member is honored, all members rejoice with him. Now you are the body of Christ and members in particular” 1 Corinthians 12:25-27

We are all very busy, some more than others, and if you can’t pray daily for all of these due to time constraints, please enter them on a prayer list, or in your Prayer Book, and lay hands on the prayers and pray one prayer over them collectively (this is what I have to do due to the volume of prayer requests I have received). God understands our time limitations and He will still honor those prayers.

God always answers our prayers. He has already delivered many saints in answer to our prayers:

American Veteran Amir Hekmati released from Iranian prison: https://propheticnewsletter.yolasite.com/news/pastor-saeed-abedini-and-amir-hekmati-freed-from-iranian-prison-

God knows there are many more; but know for certain, after praying daily for these listed above, God delivered every one of them miraculously! Let us continue praying for those in prisons and those being held against their will because of their Christian faith, and we will see them released to their loved ones. Prayer changes things!

Jesus said,

“Again, I say to you, that if two of you agree on earth, as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of My Father which is in heaven” Matthew 18:19

The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ), a Christian law firm, has fought for the release of many persecuted Christians, and they are still fighting for the rights of Christians suffering persecution throughout the world.

In addition to your prayers, you can also help by supporting ACLJ at https://aclj.org

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. Please visit the How Can I Be Saved page – your eternal destiny depends on it. God bless you.

“The Spirit and the bride say, Come; and let him who hears say, Come; and let him that is athirst come, and whosoever will, let him take of the water of life freely” Revelation 22:17

Gaza Fired Nearly 700 Rockets At Israel – 4 Israelis Killed – 25 Palestinians Dead – Cease Fire for Now

Please be advised that WordPress includes advertisements on this site; they are not selected by the publisher

On Saturday, May 4, 2019, Gaza began firing a barrage of rockets into Israel, killing four and injuring at least 234, after 690 rockets were fired over the weekend.

Israel Defense Forces (IDF) responded by hitting over 350 targets, striking terrorist leaders and their buildings. Palestinians reported 25 dead and 154 injured. Among the dead, nine were known members of terrorist groups in Gaza.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared a cease fire on Monday morning, but he also announced that Israel was not finished.

The conflict will actually not be over, even with periods of cease fire, until after the prophesied Gog-Magog War of Ezekiel 38 officially ends, which has not even started yet.

Ezekiel foretold details concerning this war of the latter days,

“And the Word of the Lord came to me, saying, Son of man, set your face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him and say, Thus says the Lord God, behold, I Am against you, oh Gog, the chief prince (fallen angel, principality over the northern kingdom) of Meshech and Tubal (Russia today, who has already aligned with Persia [Iran today]) and I will turn you back and put hooks into your jaws, and I will bring you forth, and all your army, horses and horsemen (military vehicles and troops today, which were not in the prophet’s vocabulary at that time), all of them clothed with all sorts of armor, even a great company with bucklers and shields (implements of war today that were not in the prophet’s vocabulary), all of them handling swords (munitions, rifles today); Persia (Iran since 1932), Ethiopia (a larger geographical area in northeast Africa than Ethiopia is today) and Libya with them, all of them with shield (defense implements) and helmet; Gomer and all his bands, the house of Togarmah of the north quarters (Russia), and all his bands, and many people with you. Be prepared and prepare for yourself, you, and all your company that are assembled unto you, and be a guard unto them (God is being sarcastic here). After many days, you will be visited; in the latter years you shall come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people (from other nations, the Jews who returned to Israel), against the mountains of Israel, which have always been waste, but are brought forth out of the nations and they shall dwell safely, all of them. You will ascend and come like a storm, you shall be like a cloud to cover the land, you and all your bands, and many people with you. Thus says the Lord God, it shall also come to pass that at the same time, things will come into your mind and you will think an evil thought and you will say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, who dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls (no fortresses), and having neither bars nor gates, to take a spoil and to take a prey, to turn your hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, who have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land…Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus says the Lord God, in that day, when My people of Israel dwell safely, shall you not know it (that they are safe in My care)? And you shall come from your place, out of the north parts, you, and many people with you, all of them riding upon horses (tanks and vehicles, not in the prophet’s vocabulary at that time), a great company and a mighty army, and you shall come up against My people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring you against My land (God’s hand will be in it; He will finally destroy great numbers of them), that the heathen may know Me, when I shall be sanctified (glorified in the destruction of the enemies of God and His people) in you, oh Gog, before their eyes. Thus says the Lord God, are you he of whom I have spoken in old time by My servants the prophets of Israel, who prophesied in those days, many years, that I would bring you against them? (God is being sarcastic here) And it shall come to pass at the same time, when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, says the Lord God, that My fury shall come up in My face, for in My jealousy and in the fire of My wrath I have spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel, so that the fishes of the sea, the fowls of heaven and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things on the earth, and all men that are upon the face of the earth shall shake at My presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down and the steep places shall fall and every wall shall fall to the ground; and I will call for a sword against him (Gog and his armies) throughout all My mountains, says the Lord God. Every man’s sword shall be against his brother (death by friendly fire). And I will plead against him with pestilence and blood, and I will rain upon him, his bands and many people with him, an overflowing rain, great hailstones, fire and brimstone. Thus will I magnify Myself and sanctify Myself, and I will be known in the eyes of many nations and they shall know that I Am the Lord” Ezekiel 38:1-12, 14-23

“The Spirit and the bride say, Come; and let him who hears say, Come; and let him that is athirst come, and whosoever will, let him take of the water of life freely” Revelation 22:17

During the persecutions of Protestants by the Roman Catholics in Britain and Ireland in 1538, One named Cowbridge was burned alive by the Catholics for some infraction; one named Purderve was put to death, presumed to be burned, but the exact method of execution is not named; a very old man, William Letton, of the County of Suffolk, was burned at Norwich for speaking against an idol that was carried by the Catholics in a procession, and for asserting a correct method to administer the Sacrament; and Nicholas Peke was burned alive in a gruesome way in Norwich – all in the name of God (the god of Catholics, who is Lucifer)!

Excerpts taken from Fox’s Book of Martyrs – Zondervan Publishing House (1926)

A few hundred years ago, Fox’s Book of Martyrs was chained to every pulpit, alongside the Holy Bible. I suppose people decided to turn their heads away from such violent crimes and become more “dignified.” We dishonor those who suffered by burying their testimonies and martyrdom! It also seems most churches today are too “dignified” for the Holy Spirit and fire, Who fell on the apostles of the early church (Acts 2)!

The Catholic Church has never issued an apology for the crimes committed during the Inquisition and the brutal torture and murders of Protestant Christians, who denounced papal authority, denied Purgatory, the selling of indulgences in sin, the worship of idols, and prayers to the saints and the Virgin Mary. Neither has any reparation been made to the heirs of the saints who suffered such vile persecutions from the Catholic Church. Protestants were brutally murdered by Catholics by way of burning them alive at the stake, flaying alive, hangings, cutting them to pieces, burying them alive, drowning, torturing them on the rack, whereby bones were broken and bodies ripped apart, beheading them, etc… The property and assets were seized of those heinously murdered by the Catholic Church from about the Twelfth Century through around the 1820s, not that long ago. The Vatican sits atop the blood of the saints. Revelation 18 describes her brutal end for heresies and having committed such abominable crimes.

“And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that you be not partakers of her sins and that you receive not of her plagues” Revelation 18:4.

God is calling His sincere believers to come out of the Catholic abomination, before it’s too late!

Gaza Launches Major Attack Against Israel; Bus Hit with Anti-tank Missile

Please be advised that WordPress includes advertisements on this site; they are not selected by Bible Prophecy

BUS ATTACK.jpg

Screen shot: YouTube.com (previous attack)

More than 300 projectiles were fired into Israel from Gaza Monday afternoon, and an anti-tank missile was fired at an Israeli bus near the border, Israeli officials said.

About 60 rockets were intercepted by Israel’s Iron Dome air defense system. Other rockets hit homes and buildings, which caused severe damage and some “light injuries.”

The onslaught of attack started with a Kornet anti-tank guided missile, which was fired from Gaza at an Israeli bus that had been carrying troops. Israeli Defense Forces disembarked only minutes before the bus was hit. One soldier standing near the bus was seriously injured.

The IDF said that the majority of the projectiles that were not intercepted fell in open areas, causing neither casualties nor damage, reported The Times of Israel.

In response, Israel sent tanks, fighter jets, helicopters, and other aircraft to bomb 20 sites associated with Hamas and Palestinian terrorist groups, and they are continuing their responsive attacks on such targets throughout the Strip.

The Gaza health ministry reported three dead, and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine terror group claimed two of the three were their members.

On October 12, 2018, five days before Gaza fired a rocket into Beersheba, I had a vision of a missile flying directly east (from the vantage point of Israel), which was indicative that it would be fired from Gaza into Israel. Five days later, on October 17, 2018, a rocket was fired into Israel from Gaza, which hit a home in Beersheba; the first such attack on a residence in four years.

I was perplexed initially, because I saw a missile fired into Israel on October 12^th, but only rockets have been fired into Israel since October 17th, until today.

I called for prayer after publishing my vision (a page located at the top of the Now Prophecy website, https://NowProphecy.wordpress.com). I asked readers to pray with me for the safety of Israelis.

During the first rocket strike on October 17th, no one was hurt at the residence in Beersheba, because a mother and her children made it safely to their bomb shelter before the rocket hit, as alarms awakened them from their sleep. Again, a busload of troops were spared today when they disembarked only moments before the anti-tank missile hit their bus, except for one who was seriously injured, but he is currently in stable condition post surgery.

Folks, God warns His people of danger ahead of time, so we can pray. We have been praying and this is the outcome! The attacks could have been catastrophic; a lot of people could have died today, but we were praying!

The Prophet Daniel said,

“There is a God in heaven that reveals secrets and makes known to King Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. Your dream and the visions of your head upon your bed are these: As for you, oh king, your thoughts came into your mind upon your bed what should come to pass hereafter; and He that reveals secrets makes known to you what shall come to pass…The king answered Daniel and said, Of a truth it is, that your God is a God of gods, and a Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, seeing you could reveal this secret” Daniel 2:28-29, 47

Those who devise evil against God’s people will see their wicked plans fall upon their own heads:

“When Esther came before the king, he commanded by letters that his (Haman’s) wicked device, which he devised against the Jews (death by hanging), should return upon his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows (that Haman had built to hang Mordecai the Jew)” Esther 9:25

The Word of God also tells us,

“For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind…” Hosea 8:7

Salvation is offered to everyone, even Muslim terrorists, who repent of sin and receive Jesus as their Lord and Savior, unless a person crosses a line with God, to the point of becoming reprobate (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.

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).

Breaking: Three American Christians Released from N Korean Prisons!

BREAKING: THREE AMERICAN CHRISTIANS RELEASED FROM N KOREAN PRISONS!

Early this morning, three American Christians were released from North Korean prisons, Kim Dong-chul, Kim Sang-duk (Tony Kim) and Kim Hak-song; and are returning to the United States with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo!

As President Donald Trump planned to meet North Korea’s leader Kim Jong-un, he focused on gaining the release of the three persecuted Christians, Americans languishing in North Korean prisons simply for their Christian faith.

President Trump tweeted this morning:

The three American Christians were released to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo after his arrival in Pyongyang, North Korea, early this morning. He is also deserving of our gratitude for securing their release.

THANK YOU, GOD, FOR HEARING AND ANSWERING OUR MANY PRAYERS!

THANK YOU, PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP!

This is a glorious victory for the three imprisoned Christians, who likely would have languished and died in prison had it not been for the God-ordained intervention by President Donald Trump! Their release is the answer to the many prayers of God’s saints going up daily for the three persecuted saints.

President Donald Trump has made every effort to see the American Christians released from the horrid conditions they suffered in North Korean prisons and those efforts paid off. President Trump keeps his promises and he has worked tirelessly for such causes since his inauguration.

God bless President Donald Trump!

The release of the three Christians from North Korea, the worst nation in the world for Christian persecution, is nothing short of a miracle. I posted requests for prayer for them on this and other websites and I have prayed daily for them, along with many other saints. God answers the prayers of His people!

We are so grateful to God for answering our prayers for these three persecuted saints, and God has been faithful to answer many other prayers, as documented below on an earlier report Overcomers By the Word of Our Testimony:

OVERCOMERS BY THE WORD OF OUR TESTIMONY

Throughout the years, on this and other websites, I have requested prayer for those in bonds. We often hear of prayer requests, and we pray, although less frequently do we hear about the answers to many of our prayers.

The Lord laid it on my heart to share the testimonies of these, whom the Lord has delivered from bonds, in direct answer to the prayers of the saints:

Gilad Shalit – Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) Sergeant First Class abducted and taken prisoner by Hamas to Gaza 6/25/06; released by prisoner exchange – by the miracle-working hand of God 10/18/11!

Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani – Christian pastor arrested in Iran 10/2009; sentenced to death by hanging for “apostasy” (for his Christian faith) 11/13/10; released by the miracle-working hand of God 9/8/12!

Meriam Ibrahim – Christian mother arrested in Sudan 8/2013; sentenced to 100 lashes and sentenced to death by hanging for “apostasy” (because of her Christian faith) 5/15/14; released 6/24/14; rearrested 6/24/14; released (second and final time) by the miracle-working hand of God 6/26/14!

Pastor Saeed Abedini – American Christian pastor arrested in Iran 7/2012; sentenced to eight years for creating Christian churches and “compromising national security” on 1/27/13; released after three years by the miracle-working hand of God 1/16/16!

Amir Hekmati – American Veteran arrested in Iran 8/2011 for allegedly spying for the CIA; sentenced to death 1/9/12; sentence overturned 3/5/12; later sentenced to 10 years; released by the miracle-working hand of God 1/16/16!

Pastors Michael Ruot and Peter Reith – Christian pastors arrested (Michael on 12/14/14; Peter on 1/11/15) in Sudan for “blasphemy;” released by the miracle-working hand of God 8/5/15!

Pastor Kuwa Shamal – Christian pastor arrested in Sudan for his faith 12/18/15; released 12/21/15; rearrested 5/24/16; released by the miracle-working hand of God 1/2/17!

To God be all the glory for the release of these!

The Word of God says,

“They overcame by the blood of the Lamb (Jesus) and by the word of their testimony, and they loved not their lives unto the death” Revelation 12:11.

I published a call to prayer on 12/10/15 for the release of Christian Pastor Saeed Abedini, American Veteran Amir Hekmati, American Bob Levinson and Christian mother Asia Bibi. After 37 days, on 1/16/16, Pastor Saeed Abedini and Amir Hekmati were released! Pastor Abedini had been in prison more than three years, and Amir Hekmati over four years. This demonstrates the power of the collective prayers of the saints! We need to continue praying for Asia Bibi and Bob Levinson!

The Word of God tells us,

“Confess your faults to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much” James 5:16.

“You have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you and ordained you, that you should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatsoever you ask of the Father in My name, He may give it to you” John 15:16.

There are still those in bonds who need our continued prayers daily:

asia-bibi-sentenced-to-death
Asia Bibi – Christian mother arrested 6/2009 and sentenced to death by hanging in Pakistan for “apostasy.” *Asia Bibi’s appeal hearing has finally been granted. She needs our immediate fervent prayers now.

Bob Levinson – American abducted in Iran 3/9/07.

pastor-hasaan-abduraheem

Pastor Hassan Abduraheem – Christian pastor arrested 12/18/15 in Sudan for his faith and faces the death penalty. *Update: Released! Thank God, praise God!

pastor-andrew-brunson

Pastor Andrew Brunson – Christian pastor arrested in Turkey 10/2016 for his faith (on trumped-up charges of “membership in an armed terrorist organization”).

We sometimes hear of the names and plights of others who need our prayers. When their names cross our path, we need to pray for them.

Yes, there are many, many others that need prayer, but God will give the names of those we do not hear about to other Christians who will pray for them.

How do we keep up with all of the prayer requests? Personally, I print the names and stories of many people I have prayed for at least once, then I place their prayer requests on my makeshift “altar” before God. I may not call their individual names out every day, but I pray over them collectively every day, laying my hands upon the requests. This is one method of prayer, but the important thing is to pray in the manner God leads you to pray.

Prayer changes things, friends!

When Herod put forth his hand to vex the church, he killed James, the brother of John. He proceeded further to kill Peter also and the Bible tells us,

“Peter, therefore, was kept in prison; but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him…And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him and a light shined in the prison and he smote Peter on the side and raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly, and his chains fell off from his hands. And the angel said unto him, Gird yourself and bind on your sandals, and so he did. And he said unto him, Cast your garment about you and follow me. And he went out and followed him and did not know that it was true which was done by the angel, but thought he saw a vision. When they were past the first and second ward, they came to the iron gate that led unto the city, which opened to them of its own accord; and they went out and passed through one street and henceforth the angel departed from him” Acts 12:5,7-10.

If you believe in God, do not limit Him. Nothing is impossible for God (Luke 1:37).

“Without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he that comes to God must believe that He is, and that He rewards those who diligently seek Him” Hebrews 11:6.

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.

3 Palestinians Dead, 955 Wounded, As Riots Continue At Israeli Border

3 PALESTINIANS DEAD, 955 WOUNDED, AS RIOTS CONTINUE AT ISRAELI BORDER

Watch the video above, if you haven’t already. Does this look like a peaceful protest to you? That is exactly what the Liberal Luciferian Lunatic media would have everyone believe.

While the masses stand around and look innocent, up closer to the border, Palestinian terrorists are firing weapons, setting fires and tossing petrol bombs, otherwise known as Molotov cocktails, at Israeli Defense Forces (IDF). They have publicly stated that their objective is to breach the border, invade Israel and bring back Palestine.

Mainstream news backs away from the violent threats Palestinian and Hamas terrorists have made against Israel, and the fact that they have munitions, but those threats are foremost in the minds of the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) and Hamas terrorists who are trying to invade Israel.

Among the Palestinian masses, you will also see children in the video above, as well as many other videos on You Tube covering the riots and IDF response.

Ask yourself if anywhere in the remotest part of your mind, you would consider bringing your children into such a violent conflict. Would you?

Men, possibly women, will fight for their ideologies; but just ask yourselves, who pushes their children into an area where there is violence and live munitions fired?

These cowards are trying to use their own children as a front, even sending them to the border against IDF warnings, to distract and stave off Israel’s defense, so they can breach the border and bombard Israel, with no regard for the safety, or the very lives of their own children!

Who, except insane devil worshipers, would do such a horrible thing?

Since the start of the “protests,” actually riots, 41 Palestinians have been killed, some known terrorists have been captured by IDF, and more than 5,000 have been injured.

Are you going to bring your children into such a battleground, unless you have lost your mind?!

Palestinians said they “have nothing left to lose!”

Yes, they do, the lives of their children!

Hamas gunned down a bride at her wedding in Gaza (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEud-cEjwQU), along with guests who were dancing, because dancing is not allowed. These people are oppressed, suppressed and depressed. Of course they want out of Gaza; but who in their right mind wants to live with these maniacs?

These people are satanically influenced and they need our prayers, especially for their children who are caught up in the fray. There is hope through prayer that Muslims will see the light of Christ and repent.

The Palestinians wanted Gaza, so Israel removed the Jews that lived there, some having homes there for centuries, even carrying them off of their properties in order to give Gaza to the Palestinians; after which Palestinians fired rockets into Israel, they dug tunnels to strike terror in Israel and they wage constant battles against Israel from Gaza.

This move was insane, but Israel wanted peace with Palestinians just that bad. It was the wrong move, because God already commanded them not to divide the land (Joel 3:2).

The Palestinians, focusing all of their resources on tunnels, rockets and terrorism, have decimated Gaza with their own hands. Now, they demand to rush the Israeli border to destroy Israel too.

Israel will not allow that, they cannot allow that.

The Word of God tells us,

“Can two walk together, unless they agree?” Amos 3:3.

Israel upholds the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob; Palestinians serve the god of fortresses (Daniel 11:38), war, suffering, sharia…:

Amputations for civil offenses
Stoning for civil offenses
Beheading and crucifixion for civil offenses, or no offense at all, such as denouncing, or departing from the terror of Islam
Female genital mutilation, child marriage/pedophilia and oppression
High and oppressive taxes (jizyah) against those who have other religions

How can such terrorists live within a peaceful democracy, such as Israel? Every where these people go, they bring their deadly, oppressive, horrifying religion with them, and they do everything within their power to impose their terror-religion on everyone else, or they will decapitate, crucify, or bomb you eventually!

How is it that anyone in their right mind believes Israel can allow these people to crash their border and let them into their peaceful nation?

Who believes that?

Demonically inspired globalist LLLs, who believe the world is drastically overpopulated, and they see Islam as another means to cull the masses.

There will, in fact, be a global Islamic Caliphate (the antichrist kingdom), with much terror and bloodshed, before the Lord returns to “rule with His rod of iron”:

“I looked and, behold, a pale horse (original Greek = green, the color of Islam), and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him; and power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth to kill with the sword, with hunger, with death and with the beasts of the earth” Revelation 6:8.

ISLAM on the MAP

Screen shot: YouTube.com – Map showing Muslim nations (in green), which doesn’t even show the millions who live in non-Muslim nations. It is clear to see that Islam already covers one-quarter of the world, at least.

“The number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand (200,000,000), and I heard the number of them, and I saw the horses in the vision and those who sat on them, having breastplates of fire (anything used for transportation in John’s day would have been described as a horse, other animal, or chariot; there was no vocabulary for military tanks, etc.) and of jacinth and brimstone, and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions, and out of their mouths issued fire, smoke and brimstone. By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, by the smoke and by the brimstone which issued out of their mouths” Revelation 9:18.

During the Korean War, American tanks were painted to look like tigers. Painting Sherman and M26 Pershing tanks like tigers was used as a means of psychological warfare, because Koreans see the tiger as a symbol of power. John the Revelator could have seen painted tanks, when he said they had “heads of lions,” just as we used in the Korean war, or he could have seen some type of spiritual beasts attacking mankind. Either way, we need to remember that John’s vocabulary was limited to that of his day.

“I saw heaven opened and, behold, a white horse, and He that sat upon him was called Faithful and True and with righteousness He judges and makes war…and the armies which were in heaven followed Him upon white horses clothed in fine linen, white and clean. And out of His mouth went a sharp sword, that with it He should smite the nations, and He shall rule them with a rod of iron and He treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God” Revelation 19:11, 14-15.

The heathen can rage (Psalms 2:1), and this battle will lead to the Gog-Magog war (Ezekiel 38), but the Lord will rule and reign after the seven-year tribulation (Matthew 24:21).

“And the Lord had on His robe and on His thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS” Revelation 19:16.

Thousands of Palestinians Riot At Gaza/Israeli Border, 16 Gazans Killed, 1,400 Injured

GAZA

BURN SELVES

Screen shots: YouTube.com

THOUSANDS OF PALESTINIANS RIOT AT GAZA/ISRAELI BORDER, 16 GAZANS KILLED, 1,400 INJURED

Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) report that Hamas gunmen are trying to breach the Israeli border from Gaza, as thousands of Palestinians riot.

Mobs are throwing firebombs, while Israel used rubber bullets to fend off rioters. After Gazans fired on IDF, Israeli forces used tanks to hit Hamas sites.

IDF reports Hamas sent a 7-year-old into the fray across the border.

The United Nations is holding an emergency meeting Friday evening. The UN chief called for an independent investigation into the Gaza deaths (so they can blame Israel, as they always do!).

Hamas terrorist leader Yahya Sinwar (ya, ya, I sin with war – how fitting) said the demonstrations will not stop until Palestinians “erase” the border and return to “all of Palestine.”

Actually, the truth is, Palestinians might not stop until the Lord returns and kicks their hind ends good (Zechariah 14)!

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas said, “Israel is fully responsible” for the deaths of 16 Gazans killed and (at that hour) over 1,000 wounded.

Of course, Israel is responsible for defending himself; of course, IDF are responsible for deaths while defending themselves from lethal attacks by Palestinians.

It is absurd that Abbas suggests that Israel is obliged to allow Palestinians to attack them with lethal weapons, without fighting back! How stupid is that?

We hear the Muslim men-babies crying again…because Israel fights back…as Palestinians strike terror!

Now, the Useless United Nations will cry with them, as they always do, “Israel is guilty of killing 16 Palestinians!” They deliberately leave off the remainder of the sentence, “…while they were being attacked with lethal weapons and they had no choice!”

Let us hear all of the Palestinian and UUN Muslim men-babies cry now, we expect it.

It won’t do a bit of good, nevertheless. Not that millions of drugged-out, fluoridated, satanically influenced people don’t sympathize with Palestinians, but God will have the last say, and He actually already said what He has to say:

Zechariah prophesied these Words of God over 2,000 years ago!

“Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about (Muslim nations), when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem. And in that day I will make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people; all who burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces…And it shall come to pass in that day (soon), that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem” Zechariah 12:2-3, 9.

God also said,

“I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle and the city shall be taken, the houses rifled and the women ravished. Half of the city shall go forth into captivity (East Jerusalem), and the residue of the people (West Jerusalem) shall not be cut off from the city. Then shall the Lord go forth and fight against those nations, as when He fought in the day of battle…And this shall be the plague wherewith the Lord will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem, their flesh shall consume away while they stand on their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth” Zechariah 14:2-3, 12.

God obviously had no problem describing the effects of a nuclear attack, even 2,000 years ago; He created it for His enemies!

Does anyone think God doesn’t already know what will happen in Jerusalem in these last days? He knows, because He planned it!

God planned the destruction of Muslim terrorists who serve the devil, and refuse to acknowledge the true God, His people and His land!

“I will also gather all nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat, and I will enter into judgment with them there on account of My people, My heritage Israel, Whom they have scattered among the nations; they have also divided up My land” Joel 3:2.

God is weary of the Muslim men-babies crying out lies against His people. Those who refuse to live in peace with Israel, but rather lie against him, will see the wrath of Almighty God at the end of days – sometime soon!

During the persecutions of Protestants by the Roman Catholics in the valleys of Piedmont, during the Seventeenth Century, Jacob Roseno was ordered to pray to the saints, which he absolutely refused to do. Some of the soldiers beat him violently with bludgeons to make him comply, but still refusing, several of them fired at him and lodged a great many balls in his body. As he was almost expiring, they cried to him, “Will you call upon the saints? Will you pray to the saints?” To which he answered “No! No! No!” One of the soldiers then, with a broadsword, clove his head asunder and put an end to his sufferings in this world, for which, undoubtedly, he is gloriously rewarded in the next.

Excerpts taken from Fox’s Book of Martyrs – Zondervan Publishing House (1926)

“And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that you be not partakers of her sins and that you receive not of her plagues” Revelation 18:4.

God is calling His sincere believers to come out of the Catholic abomination, before it’s too late!
