"Run Up To Armageddon"

On the morning of October 7th, while Hamas terrorists were perpetrating a massacre along Israel's Gaza border, the world experienced a paradigm shift without even knowing it.

While the geopolitical dynamics don't appear to be fundamentally altered, a growing multitude of individuals around the globe have hardened into a Jew-hating mob.

Blatant antisemitism is now acceptable on college campuses. Calls for the death of Jews and the destruction of Israel is given a platform across America and around the world. Demonstrators, chanting their support for terrorist organizations, burning American flags and pleading for Hamas to attack again, is tolerated and even encouraged by some.

Our point? It's time to get serious.

The Bible predicts Israel will suffer global isolation and rabid antisemitism during the run up to Armageddon, when all the armies of the world come against her. And while we know from Scripture this is still at least 7 years away, our redemption is not. 

Once one realizes that all of God's promises are interwoven with the nation of Israel, the puzzle pieces of Bible prophecy begin to fit together.

For instance:  The current, global antisemitism.

Hitler wasn't the only one driven by a passionate desire to rid the world of Jews. There have been an amazing number of crazed lunatics throughout history all with one rabid intention: Destroy the Jew. Why? It's completely irrational...unless one considers the spiritual dimension: Destroy Israel and you destroy God's credibility. 

Bible prophecy is a two-edged sword. On the plus side, God reveals His plan in advance, giving us reliable proof of His existence and authenticating the Bible as the infallible word of God. On the downside, the adversary, Satan, is also privy to the plan.

This creates a dilemma that God solves by using a bit of obscurity. While He can't be so veiled that we don't get the message, it prevents Him from giving us all the detail we might want. Ever wonder why God doesn't just spell it all out for us? He's got good reason; there's a certain demonic element intent on sabotaging God's plan.

From the time of Moses to the time of Christ, Satan tried over and over again to kill all male Hebrew children. Why? Because he knew the Messiah would be a Jew. If he could get rid of the Hebrew babies, the Messiah would never be born. When that failed, he thought he'd nailed it (no pun intended) at the cross. But no, foiled again! The crucified Savior was resurrected. Satan had played right into God's hand--not realizing that the only begotten Son had to die--it was God's plan all along: The Savior would die so we could live.

Even now, the Devil and his minions are working overtime to crush the Jew. Is it a coincidence that Israel is surrounded by enemies?

The Bible predicts the Messiah will return to Jerusalem when the Jews are back in their homeland and besieged on every side. If there are no Jews, there is no Messiah. If there is no Israel, then Satan wins and there is no God. That's how interwoven the nation of Israel is with God's promises.

So how do we know this current bout of antisemitism will end in Armegeddon? Because May14,1948, when Israel was born again, marked the beginning of the last generation, the Fig Tree generation. 

Time is running out.

A wise man once said: "Jewish survival is a phenomena. Jewish history, with all of its tragedies and triumphs, has been accurately foretold; it's future has also been foretold--we're living it now. To come against Israel, is to come against God." -- Hal Lindsey, author

"It shall be in that day that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem" --Zechariah 12:9.

"Violence and Israel: Is Prophecy Speeding Up?"

"Did you know God is everywhere--even in the news? That's why we view every news story through the lens of faith," says the CBN News motto.

This week, more than most, that motto was spot on.

The prophet Zechariah tells us that in the Last Days the attention of the world would be zeroed in on the city of Jerusalem.

"As the world watched, the United States officially moved its embassy to Jerusalem Monday and many believe the event was the fulfillment of Bible prophecy," writes Talia Wise, of CBN News.com. "But according to Bible scholars that is not the only world event that points to the end times and Jesus' Second Coming."

Very true--prophetic events world-wide have increased dramatically--but Israel is still the key. Students of Bible prophecy agree that the Jews back in the Land is the most significant prophecy in modern times. Why? Because the fulfillment of so many other prophecies hinge on it.

For instance, the war of Ezekiel 38, scheduled to be fulfilled in "the time of the end" or "the latter days" can't happen  if Israel doesn't exist. (Ezekiel 38, 39).

Psalm 83 predicts Israel's closest neighbors will call for a confederacy to join forces to "wipe Israel off the map." Israel was reborn on May 14, 1948. On May 15, 1948, armies from the surrounding countries invaded with the declared purpose of "extermination". Israel won. Two more wars followed. Same players, same purpose, same outcome.

Despite its tiny size, Israel miraculously prevailed even though they were outnumbered 100 to 1.

The Bible predicts Israel will always prevail.

"I will plant Israel in their own land, never again to be uprooted from the land I have given them, says the LORD your God" (Amos 9:15).

"Hear the word of the LORD, O nations; proclaim it in distant coastlands; He who scattered Israel will gather them and will watch over His flock like a shepherd," (Jeremiah 31:10).

And now Turkey's Erdogan is calling for an "Army of Islam" to attack Israel on all sides.

Good idea? (hint: we wouldn't touch it with a 10-foot pole.)

"ISIS: 'American Blood Tastes Best'"

The hacker group that calls itself "Anonymous" has declared war on ISIS in response to the recent terror attacks.

A video posted on YouTube last week was the official kick-off announcing Anonymous' intention to "launch the biggest operation ever" against the terrorist group.

"Anonymous from all over the world will hunt you down," said the French-speaking masked man in the video. "Expect massive cyber-attacks. War is declared. Get prepared."

Metro.co.uk reports that Anonymous published a list of 900 ISIS-related Twitter accounts that have subsequently been suspended by Twitter.

Good job Anonymous! Though only a first strike against ISIS, shutting down their Twitter accounts is a good start.

The terror group is known for its sophisticated use of social media as a recruitment and propaganda tool. Anything to slow these barbarians down is welcome.

ISIS' response? They called the Anonymous hacker collective "idiots".

"What are they gonna hack?" ISIS (sounding like idiots themselves) asked.

Twitter accounts and email addresses for a start. Next, Anonymous is planning to hack into ISIS bank accounts in an attempt to dry up their funding. Let's hope they succeed.

But the real question is:

If Anonymous is able to avenge Paris and launch the "biggest operation ever" against a terror group that dares to say "American blood tastes best"--why can't our government?

"Is ISIS Mobilizing to Hit NYC?"

Guess who's being excluded from the scrutiny of Homeland Security?

The very ones you'd expect to be scrutinized the most--Islamic Mosques!

That's right, people. While the rest of us are having our phone calls monitored and our emails hacked, mosques are being favored with a hands-off policy.

Call us crazy, but we think this is taking political correctness a bridge too far.

According to Investors.com : "This is particularly disturbing in light of recent independent surveys of American mosques, which reveal some 80% of them preach violent jihad or distribute violent literature to worshippers."

And that ain't all folks.

The Washington Times reports: "An Islamic State terrorist bluntly told a VICE News journalist that his group is going to strike New York City any day now and that his radicalized 'brothers' are mobilizing at this very moment."

Meanwhile, the Islamic State (ISIS) is bragging all over social media that our days are numbered.

A recent tweet featuring a photo of an ISIS flag in front of the White House boasted: "We are in your state. We are in your cities. We are in your streets."

Maybe it's time we believed them and stop acting like a TSA officer who skips the Imam and instead frisks the old lady at the airport.

Maybe it's time Homeland Security wakes up to the fact that though most Muslims are not terrorists, most terrorists are Muslims.

"Is The Government Spying On You?"

Governments around the globe have always been nosy, and totalitarian regimes made spying on its citizens into an art form.

But here in America its different, right? Wrong! 9/11 was the ultimate game-changer. The fear of terrorism has led to a new era of trading privacy for security. Remember the outrage when it was discovered that President Bush was wiretapping suspected terrorists without a warrant?

Well, you ain't seen nothin' yet.

Over the last decade, as the world went wireless, surveillance became virtually invisible. Only it isn't just suspected terrorists and criminals they're watching anymore.

It's us. That right, it's directed at all of us.

The ACLU, in its campaign to stop illegal spying, says, "Increasingly, the government is engaged in suspicion-less surveillance that vacuums up and tracks sensitive information about innocent people. The erosion of reasonable restrictions on government's power to collect people's personal information is putting privacy and free speech rights of all Americans at risk."

What is the government interested in?

• email
• phone calls
• tweets
• texts 
• Facebook
• Google
• and apparently our finances, too

According to Reuters: "The Obama administration is drawing up plans to give all U.S. spy agencies full access to a massive database that contains financial data on American citizens and others who bank in the country." This info came from a Treasury Department document seen by Reuters.

The above information gathered on all of us will then be:

• tracked
• analyzed
• archived
• and kept indefinitely

Is nothing sacred anymore? Even our idle web-surfing is tracked. Aaron Saenz of Singularity University writes, "Nokia, Sprint, Ericsson, Facebook, Google--think of a business that helps people talk and exchange information and you'll think of a company that has helped law enforcement agencies look through private data."

What's next? Micro-drones the size of a small bird. Think we're kidding? Think again.

Next time you see a cute little hummingbird peering in your bedroom window? 

Shut the blinds.
