The Turkish, Muslim, Persian, and Arab Invasion of Israel.
The world will soon see a temporary peace because of an Old
Testament prophecy that is about to take place, and which the prophet Ezekiel
said would occur in the latter years before the Lord comes back.
Ezekiel said that this invasion will require God’s intervention, and
that the invaders will be destroyed by a torrential Rainstorm with Hailstones
and Thunderbolts.
Even though some of the invaders are said to come from the “remote parts of the
north” (Ezek. 38:15), this does not have to mean that they are Russian.
This can be said because of a similar prophecy that made the same claim, but
turned out to be a country that was north of Israel, but not Russia.
This is explained by Walid Shoebat in his book on End Times prophecy and also
one his videos on youtube.
The Rapid
drop in Oil prices. The price
of oil and gas has dropped approximately 40 percent in the last six
months. This is not because the supply has increased nearly that rapidly, nor
is it because the demand for oil has gone down much: if at all in the past
half-year. Rather the rapid price drop is for political reasons, and the
rapid drop can best be explained as an economic war that is being waged
against Russia and Iran -- as a means of applying pressure on their leaders to
stop their nuclear program (in the case of Iran) and to pressure Russia's
leader to stop his offensive takeover of Ukraine. More on this can be
found Here.
In summary, this pressure is mentioned
in Ezekiel's prediction regarding the end times.
A 3rd Jewish
Temple will be built. After God intervenes
to save Israel from the Russian and Arab forces, the way for peace will be wide open, and
for Israel to rebuild its 3rd Temple.
This is because of the attack by Muslim forces that is talked about
above, and because of the Earthquake that occurs and the fact that the Dome of
the Rock will be a pile of rubble. See Ezek. 38:18-20; Isaiah 28:17;
30:30; 31:5-9; Rev. 16:21.
We
say that a temple will be rebuilt before the Lord comes back because the man
known as the antichrist will enter
the Temple when he declares himself to be God (Dan. 7:21-27; 8:9-14; 9:27;
11:21-35; Matt. 24:15-31; 2 Thes. 2:1-12; Rev. 13-14) ... and for this
man to sit in a temple, stop the animal sacrifices, and pretend to be God, a Temple
of some sort must be built. 2,3
With regard to a 3rd temple it is said that its stones have been
cut and are waiting to be assembled. We
have also heard from a source in Israel that the Arc of the covenant has been
found and brought back to Israel from Ethiopia: and that the stone tablets
with the Ten Commandments on them are with it. 4
A lack of fresh water: The ground water in many parts of the world is
slowly being depleted.5 See also Revelation 6:5-6, and Deut. 28:15-24.
The Microchip Implant:
The rice-grained size RFID microchip has been in use for dogs
and cats for over a decade.
Such a “mark” is mentioned in the Book of Revelation, whereby only those
who have it can buy or sell. This
is because Cash will be eliminated, and all financial transactions
done electronically. Those who
fear God and know the Lord will refuse to accept such a mark:
whether outwardly visible or not: Rev. 13, 14 and 20.
Fire from Heaven. The Book
of Revelation also talks about a world leader who will deceive many because of
some amazing things that he performs. One
of these is referred to as “fire from heaven” in Revelation 13:13.
This is perhaps a laser beam that comes from a satellite or the
International Space Station.
A Talking Statue. Another
sign that the coming world leader will perform involves a statue that can
“speak”: Revelation 13:14-18. This
will likely be a talking Robot or possibly an “image” of himself on TV.
We are also told that everyone who chooses to participate in the coming worldwide
government will have to worship either this robot “image” or the
“image” of the antichrist, and receive a “mark” that will identify
them as loyal subjects of the (temporary) new world order.

The Seven-Year “Land
for Peace” Treaty. In
January of 2007, a 7-year Land for Peace deal was struck between the Israelis and Palestinians. See
also Dan. 9:27 and 11:21-45.
Echelon: An
electronic system known as echelon allows the European Union to tap Cell Phones
or home phones in
the United States, and vice versa: at the touch of a few buttons. We
suspect that this information gathering will be used for more than just to
thwart terrorism -- as is alluded to in Daniel 8.
Increasing Fatherlessness:
Not many know it yet, but in the U.S.A, 80-90% of mothers obtain Sole Legal
Custody after a Divorce: often AFTER as much of their MONEY is
confiscated. In Canada it is reported to be 98%, and Europe is almost as
bad. See our Family
Court page for more information.
When will the Rapture
take place: Many believe that
the rapture takes place before the Seven-Year Great Tribulation.
In support of this we are told that many who know the Lord will be
“rescued” from the coming wrath of God upon the earth (Dan. 12:1-4; Mal.
3:16-18; Col. 3:6; 1 Thes. 4:13-18; 5:9; 2 Thes. 2:3-12, Rev. 3:10) and that
the antichrist will not be revealed until the restrainer is taken out of the
way: 2 Thes. 2:6-9. This may
occur when the “fullness of the Gentiles has come in” (Rom. 11:25) and God
turns His focus to the land (and nation) of Israel; however, it may be that it
happens after the Tribulation takes place. See the Link below on the
Rapture for more on this topic.
Some believe that the rapture will happen before the Tribulation begins,
others in the middle, and some on the last day, or the day that the sun goes
dark: Matt. 24:29-31. If it
occurs at the end, then many saints will be killed simply because they believe
in Jesus, and that He is God's Son, and the heir of God's Kingdom:
Rev. 13:7-10. See also Dan.
7:7-27, Joel 2:28-32, Amos 8:9, Rev. 6:9-17. George Washington’s Angelic
Vision at Valley Forge also deals with the United States and the end times.

Like a Thief in the Night: Although
no one knows the exact hour of Christ’s return, Jesus told us to pay
attention so that we are not caught off guard: Matt. 24:3-25:30; I John
2:28-3:3. If you know the Lord
and have His Spirit living in you, then you should be serving Him in some way:
even if all you can do is carry a Bible to church: Mal. 3:16-18.
We
who know the Lord will overcome the death-curse that our mortal body is under
because of our faith in Jesus and our testimony: NOT because of sinless
perfection: 2 Cor. 5:1; I Peter 1:3-9; I John 1:6-10; 3:14; 4:4; 5:4-13; Rev.
12:11; Rom. 7:15-25; 8:9-11.

We learned this from
someone went to Israel, and showed us pictures of a replica
that the Israelis made of the
arc.
The tour guide told their group that the arc was being
kept at a secret location until the Temple is rebuilt.
