"Study: 'Staying Positive As Good For You As Exercise'"

Want to live a longer, more fulfilling life?

Don't worry, be happy.

That's right gang--being an optimist could lead to a longer, healthier life according to new research. 

"Happiness is good for the body as well as the mind," asserts study author Hayami Koga, Ph.D. candidate at the Harvard T.H. Chah School of Public Health. In fact, Koga believes "staying positive is as good for you as exercise and can add many years to your life."

But these are turbulent times. Every day the world grows darker and more dangerous. For those of us who study Bible prophecy, it has become clear that the "birth pains" as described in the Bible have begun. And as every mother knows, once the pains begin they only get worse until it's over.

How can we be happy and optimistic in times like these?

Well, according to the World Health Organization, most people can't. Depression and anxiety disorders are going through the roof. Globally, more than 300 million  (and climbing) people of all ages suffer from depression and many millions more have anxiety disorder.

Unfortunately, global trends are anything but optimistic...and yet God expects us to be happy. Is it possible given today's circumstances?

Andre Van Belkum of Life, Hope & Truth Ministries thinks so:

"The Creator of our bodies and minds has given us a handbook as an assured, dependable and unfailing source of knowledge. It outlines basic principles and instructions for daily living.

"If applied, these guidelines will lead us into a life guaranteed to produce lasting happiness and contentment. Rejection of these principles will undoubtably produce heartache and unending sorrow. These biblical guidelines are not magical formulas, but practical rules of daily conduct that govern the way to happiness.

"The Bible contains the reason you were created. It contains God's plan for you and what He expects from you. It explains where the world is heading and why--and how God is going to rescue it. It contains the blueprint for living a successful, meaningful life in the present, and inheriting eternity in the future."

And yet, the vast majority of people refuse to read it.

A wise man once said: "The words of God are as timeless and powerful today as the day they were first recorded." -- Life, Hope & Truth Ministries 

"Happy are they who are without sin in their ways, walking in the law of the Lord. Happy are they who keep His unchanging word, searching after Him with all their heart" (PSALM 119:1-2).

"Antisemitism: A Sign From God?"

Bible prophecy 101:  Israel is at the epicenter of pretty much everything--past, present and future. In fact, all of human history revolves around the tiny nation of Israel.

Some believe Israel only came into existence in 1948. Not true. Israel has historical roots dating back millennia when God first rescued them from Egyptian slavery and promised them a land of their own--Canaan.  Often referred to as the "Promised Land," Canaan was renamed Israel by God Himself. 

The promise of this land is a key element of the covenant God made with Abraham and his decendants that God said would last forever. This covenant does not depend on the Jews being faithful, obedient or good enough. God made the covenant dependant on only one thing: God's promise to them.

That's not to say God hasn't disciplined His chosen people. He has, by scattering them among the nations, until the appointed time...when He promised to bring them back again to the land of Israel (forever this time) in the "latter days" (AKA in the end times or last generation) which turned out to be 1948.

You may have noticed Israel has been getting a lot of press lately, as the pace of biblical prophecy quickens like labor pains. And while we may see a period of "pseudo"peace ahead, according to the Bible, antisemitism will rise exponentially as we approach the end of the age, until the entire world comes against Israel at Armageddon. 

Even now, a "new breed" of hostility against Jewish people rivals the racism shown them during the early 1940s. Eschatology tells us this hatred will only deepen as the Day draws near.         

From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible is woven with predictions. In fact, more that 1/4 of the Bible is prophecy. Most of them (roughly 80%) have already been fulfilled with 100 % accuracy.

These prophecies are very specific, provable events. And while most of them revolve around the nation of Israel, God had you in mind when he designed them. How so? 

God chose prophecy as the vehicle to authenticate the Bible. How better to prove One's existence and power over world events than to tell history in advance? Fulfilled prophecy conveys the unique signature of God, and is a powerful proof to all of us, but especially to an unbelieving world. Bible prophecy is one of the ways God chose to reveal Himself to you. 

"I pray that you will begin to understand the incredible greatness of His power for us who believe Him. This is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead and seated Him in the place of honor at God's right hand in the heavenly realms" (EPHESIANS 1:19,20).

"Two Prophectic Time Markers You Need To Know"

Rumor has it Israel is about to strike the Iranian nuclear facilities. Will they? Who knows--we've heard that song before.

We do know from Bible prophecy that Iran, Russia & Turkey (among others) will eventually launch a surprise attack against Israel that will probably involve either nuclear or biological weapons.

But because so few mainline churches teach on Bible prophecy, many have no idea how far along the prophetic timeline we have come.

Prophecy expert Bill Salus contends God's calendar of endtime events has a definite beginning--the rebirth of the nation of Israel--and another major sign post signaling we are getting close to the end.

"The re-establishment of Israel on May 14, 1948 (77 years ago) is when the world's hour glass made its final turn," Salus declares.

"The Magog invasion of  Israel (see Ezekiel 38-39), is the other major prophetic marker for this generation to consider. Ezekiel 38:1-39:20 contains forty-three verses of some of the most consolidated and descriptive prophetic information found anywhere within the Bible. The reader of these passages doesn't need to be a Bible scholar, rocket scientist, or even a believer to glean a relatively detailed understanding of this forthcoming prophecy. By interpreting these verses literally the reader is made aware of the:

• Timing of the event- (in the endtimes) Ezekeil 38:8,16
• Identities of the invading coalition- (Russia, Turkey, Iran, etc.) Ezekiel 38:1-5
• Motivation for the invasion of Israel- (to plunder Israel) Ezekiel 38:12-13
• Supernatural defeat of the invaders- (through earthquakes, pestilence, flooding rains and great hailstones) Ezekiel 38:18-23"

Salus places this invasion just before the 7 years of tribulation, but after the Rapture of the Church.

So, how far along the prophetic timeline are we?

According to Amir Tsarfati of Behold Israel, the Magog coalition of Ezekiel 38 is being formed before our very eyes and while that doesn't necessarily mean they will attack Israel tomorrow, it's a pretty good bet we are in the general time frame.

According to Bill Salus, when they do attack, it will officially herald the 'final stage' of the endtimes prophetic timeline.

A wise woman once said: "Things are happening so quickly that observers of the times can't keep up. It's as though the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are now out of the barn...No previous generation has seen this stunning convergence allowing everything to fall into place." -- Jan Markell, Olive Tree Ministries

"Don't be troubled. You trust God, now trust in Me. There are many rooms in My Father's home and I am going to prepare a place for you. If this were not so, I would tell you plainly. When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with Me where I am. And you know where I am going and how to get there" (JOHN 14:1-4).

"Dangerous Liaisons: Russia + Iran = BFFs?"

While the Left has been apoplectic, demanding Trump return to the U.S. accused human smuggler, wife-beater and  MS-13 gang member (aka 'The Maryland Man') deported to his home country, El Salvador...

...Russia has been busy moving us ever closer to what the Bible calls the "Magog War."

According to Newsweek: "

Russia's upper House of Parliament ratified a sweeping 20-year strategic partnership agreement with Iran on Wednesday, deepening military and nuclear cooperation just as fears of conflict between Washington and Tehran intensify."

Already signed into law, the treaty makes official what Bible scoffers once considered impossible:

Russia + Iran = BFFs

Seemingly impossible because the two nations have been enemies for centuries, even though the Bible predicted an End Time military alliance against Israel.

In the meantime, Israel and the United States are desperately trying to foil Iran's nuclear ambitions, while Russia, (Iran's new BFF) holds the world's largest nuclear arsenal.

Nothing short of amazing because Ezekiel 38 describes a prophecy of a future war occuring in "the latter days" (last days) when Gog of Magog (Russia's leader from the far north of Israel) and Iran (formerly Persia) lead a coalition of nations to invade Israel. This invasion is depicted as a sudden and overwhelming attack on a restored (to the land) Israel (Israel was restored in 1948). And while this war almost certainly goes nuclear, God intervenes to defeat Gog and his forces, demonstrating His power and glory to the nations.

This event is often understood as a pivotal moment in the prophetic timeline, and some believe it has its roots in the growing "military and nuclear cooperation" between the two new BFFs.

Impossible? IDTS.

A wise man once said: "Persia refers to the ancient name for what is now known as Iran. In Ezekiel 38, it says Gog, the prince of Rosh, which means Russia and Persia will attack Israel. It also says God is against them and will defeat them. Israel won't defeat them. God will." -- Amir Tsarfati, Behold Israel

"Resurrection: Fact or Fiction?"

What if we could be raised from the dead? Sounds like a trick question, doesn’t it? Raised from the dead—yeah, right—and while we’re at it, can we be taller and thinner too?

But Jesus told His disciples in John 14:19, “Because I live, you will live, too.” Seven simple words with the power to change the world.

There are many religions, but only one claims that its founder returned from the grave. The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the foundation on which Christianity is built. If it isn’t true, we are (as the apostle Paul said), “dead in our sins. We might as well eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die.”

But what if it is true? What if Jesus really did come back to life again and had the power to resurrect all those willing to turn from their sin and believe in Him? Sounds crazy. Insane, even. But that is exactly what Jesus claimed He would do and what over 500 eyewitnesses claimed to have seen--a resurrected Jesus--once dead, but now alive again in the flesh! Hard to believe? Consider the following excerpt from Lee Strobel’s The Case for Easter:

“When Jesus was crucified, His followers were discouraged and depressed. So they dispersed. The Jesus movement was all but stopped in its tracks. Then, after a short period of time, we see them abandoning their occupations, regathering, and committing themselves to spreading a very specific message—that Jesus Christ was the Messiah of God who died on a cross, returned to life, and was seen alive by them.

“And they were willing to spend the rest of their lives proclaiming this, without any payoff from a human point of view. They faced a life of hardship. They often went without food, slept exposed to the elements, were ridiculed, beaten, imprisoned. And finally, most of them were executed in torturous ways. For what? For good intentions? No, because they were convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that they had seen Jesus Christ alive from the dead.

“Yes, people will die for their religious convictions if they sincerely believe they are true. Religious fanatics have done that throughout history. While they may strongly believe in the tenets of their religion, however, they don’t know for a fact whether their faith is based on truth. They simply cannot know for sure. They can only believe. In stark contrast, the disciples were in the unique position to know for a fact whether Jesus had returned from the dead. They saw Him, they touched Him, they ate with Him. They knew He wasn’t a hallucination or a legend. And knowing the truth, they were willing to die for Him."

A wiseman once said: “The disciples didn’t merely believe in the resurrection; they knew whether it was fact or fiction. Had they known it was a lie, they would never have been willing to sacrifice their lives for it. Nobody willingly dies for something that they know is false. They proclaimed the resurrection to their deaths for one reason alone: they knew it was true. 

"The good news is that Jesus is still alive. And…if He lives, we can live too. Seven simple words with the power to change your world." - Lee Strobel, author

 " Jesus told her, "I am the resurrection and the life. Those who believe in Me, even though they die like everyone else, will live again. They are  given eternal life for believing in Me and will never perish" (JOHN 11:25-26).

"Does the Bible Predict an Economic Crash?"

The VIX, or Volatility Index,  (aka the "Fear Index") is a gauge of the stockmarket's expectation of volatility in the next 30 days. And if you think fear is sky high right now... you'd be right. Many experts fear the worst.

And while Trump's tariffs have been brutal on the markets and continue to send shockwaves through the global economy, Trump insists 'everything is going well'.

But is it? That depends on where we are on God's Timeline. Consider:

If the Bible does not speak directly about a global economic collapse, why have prophecy teachers always taught there would be one? Because, just as the doctrine of the Trinity is never spelled out for us, it is undeniably there. An economic collapse is there too--by implication.

One only has to read the Book of Revelation to get a glimpse of what's coming:

On top of wars, pestilence, famine, and natural disasters, Revelation 6 mentions food prices. 

"When the Lamb broke the third seal, I heard the third living being say, "Come!" And I looked up and saw a black horse, and its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. And a voice from among the four living beings said, "A loaf of wheat bread or three loaves of barley for a day's pay. And don't waste the olive oil and wine." 

This rider on the black horse takes prosperity from the earth and replaces it with famine and hyperinflation.

The Book of James doesn't mince words either when it says in Chapter 5: 

"Look here, you rich people, weep and groan with anguish because of all the terrible troubles ahead of you. Your wealth is rotting away and your fine clothes are moth-eaten rags. Your gold and silver have become worthless. The very wealth you were counting on will eat away your flesh in hell. This treasure you have accumulated will stand as evidence against you in the last days."

These scriptures (among others) paint a bleak economic picture, but Revelation 13:16-17 is the clincher: "He (Antichrist) required everyone--great and small, rich and poor, slave or free--to be given a mark on the right hand or on the forehead. And no one could buy or sell anything with out that mark..."

Well, we don't know about you--but most people would probably balk at giving up their money in exchange for a mark...unless, of course, their money wasn't worth much anymore.

The Bible makes it clear these judgments will encompass the entire planet. Who could have guessed 2,000 years ago we'd end up with a global economy?

This doesn't necessarily mean that our current global economic troubles are in any way connected to Bible prophecy. It's possible the world will recover, (or at least seem to do so) and Trump's tariffs will level the playing field and make America prosperous again. 

In fact, some Scriptures imply things will appear to be humming along like normal just before the end. In Luke 17, Jesus says: "When the Son of Man returns, the world will be like the people were in Noah's day. In those days before the flood, the people enjoyed banquets and parties and weddings right up to the time Noah entered his boat and the flood came to destroy them all..yes, it will be 'business as usual' right up to the hour when the Son of Man returns."  (Logically, this argues for a pre-trib rapture, as no one will be partying or going to banqets and weddings after 7 years of  horrific judgement.)

1Thessalonians 5 says that Day will come "unexpectantly, like a thief in the night. When people are saying, 'All is well; everything is peaceful and secure', then disaster will fall upon them as suddenly as a woman's birth pains begin when her child is born. And there will be no escape."

Sounds contradictory until you remember that there are yet two comings of Christ:

1. The Rapture of the Church. The church will be rescued, but the world at large will be caught completely off guard and left behind to endure the time of trial that will come upon the whole earth. (Revelation 3:10).
2. The Second Coming of Christ.  Comes 7 years later, when the world is neck- deep in judgment.

We're betting the final economic collapse comes sometime between these two events. It's possible the sudden disappearence of millions of people triggers the collapse. Imagine the panic, the absolute chaos.

So, if the Bible predicts a global economic collapse, are we seeing the beginnings of it now? We don't know. It could be just another short-term economic slowdown.

Ric Grenell, presidential envoy for Special Missions, is convinced the econmic pain is only a temporary setback and that Trump's tariff plan is a 'genious move'. "He's going to take on the system", claims Grenell. "Every other president just complained about it--Trump is actually going to fix it." And with a national debt of over $36 trillion, it's imparative someone does.

"Unveiling the End: Analyzing Prophecy in a Chaotic World"

While the legacy media is busy spreading more misinformation (this time falsely claiming that Elon Musk will be briefed at the Pentagon regarding "war with China"), Israel and the Middle East is exploding once again--a legit news story that gets very little press. Why? Because the only thing that matters to the MSM lately is destroying Elon Musk.

The sad fact of the matter is you must take almost everything you hear these days with a grain of salt. President Trump calls it Fake News, the Bible calls it end-time deception and we are fully engulfed in it right now.

The word of God, on the other hand, has always been a source of  truth.

How do we know this? Bible prophecy.

This becomes clear once we understand that God uses Bible prophecy not so much to satisfy our curiosity about the future, as to authenticate His word. Logic tells us if God's prophecies are true, so is His plan of salvation.

And we know God's prophecies are true. 

Consider: 

80% of all Bible prophecy has already been fulfilled exactly as predicted. The remaining 20% deal exclusively with future events. If past prophecies proved true, we have no reason to doubt future prophecies will also prove true. With Israel, as always, at the epicenter--though not every prophecy is as explosive as say, Armageddon. Some are a little more subtle (though no less fascinating). 

For instance:

The seven holidays that make up the ancient festival cycle known as God's feasts days. The word used for "feasts" literally translates as "dress rehearsals" or "appointments". So what is being said is each feast day is literally an appointment  with God, or a dress rehearsal of  coming events. In other words, these 7 feast days are an amazing look into God's plan for humankind. Like an outline of history, each feast day is a pattern that shadows a major prophetic event.

Observant Jews celebrate the cycle as a reminder of God's provision, while Christians recognize the profound relationship between these Hebrew Holy Days and their prophetic fulfillment. Far more than mere Jewish tradition, these feast days offer a bird's-eye view into the very game-plan of God.

Christians believe Jesus' birth, death, resurrection & the sending of the Holy Spirit was the fulfillment of the first four feasts, while the remaining 3 will be fulfilled in the last days. In other words, God has already sent His Son to complete the first phase of a two-part plan.

There are only three feast days remaining to be fulfilled.

With Passover just around the corner,  we encourage you to explore the staggering prophetic significance of these holidays and hopefully gain an understanding of just how in-control God really is. As we shall see, each Holiday of God paints a perfect picture of the work of a Messiah who is the source of all creation and the hope of the nations.

The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, "Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: 'The feasts of the Lord, which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, these are My feasts'" (LEVITICUS 23:1-2).  

A wise man once said: "The most exciting revelation I ever had concerning end-time understanding was when my eyes were opened to how the Feasts of the Lord were directly tied to the Book of Revelation and the unfolding of end-time events," --Mark Biltz, author
