Iran forming 'third front' against Israel on Golan:
Netanyahu - http://news.yahoo.com/iran-forming-third-front-against-israel-golannetanyahu-152818891.html
Iran is seeking to open a "third front" against Israel using Hezbollah fighters
on the Syrian Golan Heights, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on
Sunday.
Netanyahu said Tehran's attempts to entrench itself along Israel's borders
was one of the biggest emerging security threats facing the Jewish state.
"Alongside Iran's direct guidance of Hezbollah's actions in the north and
Hamas's in the south, Iran is trying also to develop a third front on the Golan
Heights via the thousands of Hezbollah fighters who are in southern Syria
and over which Iran holds direct command," he said.
Speaking at the start of the weekly cabinet meeting, Netanyahu said his
ministers were to be briefed on "the security challenges developing around
us, first and foremost Iran's attempt to increase its foothold on Israel's
borders even as it works to arm itself with nuclear weapons."
An Israeli air strike inside the Syrian-controlled sector of the Golan Heights
on January 18 killed six members of Hezbollah, which is backed by Iran and
allied with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, as well as a general from Iran's
elite Revolutionary Guards.
Israel neither confirmed nor denied responsibility, but it has carried out
several such strikes over the past two years, stressing its policy of preventing
arms transfers to militant groups and potential attacks.
Netanyahu said that Tehran's ongoing "murderous terrorism" has "not
prevented the international community from continuing to talk with Iran about
a nuclear agreement that will allow it to build the industrial capacity to
develop nuclear weapons."
World powers are trying to strike a deal with Iran that would prevent Tehran
from developing a nuclear bomb in return for an easing of punishing
international economic sanctions.
Israel has repeatedly warned that Iran's nuclear program has military
objectives, a claim Tehran denies.
US Secretary of State John Kerry was set to arrive in Geneva Sunday for
renewed talks with his Iranian counterpart on Tehran's nuclear program, after
warning "significant gaps" remain ahead of a key deadline.
Russian offers Iran latest anti-aircraft missiles http://news.yahoo.com/iran-studies-russian-offer-missiles-instead-300-tass-083342744.html
Russia has offered Iran its latest Antey-2500 missiles, the head of Russian
state defense conglomerate Rostec said on Monday according to media
reports, after a deal to supply less powerful S-300 missiles was dropped
under Western pressure.
Sergei Chemezov said Tehran was now considering the offer, TASS news
agency reported.
Russia scrapped a contract to supply Iran with S-300 surface-to-air missiles
under Western pressure in 2010, and Iran later filed a $4-billion international
arbitration suit against Russia in Geneva, but the two countries remain allies.
The United States and Israel lobbied Russia to block the missile sale, saying
it could be used to shield Iran's nuclear facilities from possible future air
strikes.
There was no immediate response to Chemezov's comments from Iran,
Israel or the United States.
"As far as Iran is concerned, we offered Antey-2500 instead of S-300. They
are thinking. No decision has been made yet," Chemezov was quoted as
saying.
Rostec includes state-owned arms exporting monopoly Rosoboronexport,
which has the sole right to export and import arms in Russia.
The Antey-2500 was developed from the 1980s-generation S-300V system
(SA-12A Gladiator and SA-12B Giant). It can engage missiles traveling at
4,500 meters per second, with a range of 2,500 km (1,500 miles), according
to the company that makes it, Almaz-Antey.
The S-300 missiles have a 125-mile range and Russia has stoked tensions
with the West by trying to sell them to Syria and other Middle Eastern
countries.
Chemezov told reporters conflicts in the Middle East had helped boost
Russian arm sales, according to TASS.
"I don't conceal it, and everyone understands this, the more conflicts there
are, the more they buy off weapon from us. Volumes are continuing to grow
despite sanctions. Mainly, it's Latin America and the Middle East," he was
quoted as saying.
Last year, Russian foreign arm sales totaled $13 billion, he added.
Chemezov was sanctioned by the U.S. government in April over Russia's
role in the Ukraine crisis.
ISIS following 'end-of-days scenario' - Greg Corombos http://www.wnd.com/2015/02/isis-following-end-of-days-scenario/?cat_orig=faith
'They're manufacturing a holy war between Islam and the West'
The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, or ISIS, is gobbling up more territory in
preparation for striking Western nations, and a retired U.S. Army Special
Forces officer says the U.S. needs to stop underestimating the enemy and
start engaging Sunnis in Iraq to stand up and fight for their homeland.
Retired Lt. Col. Scott Mann spent 23 years in the Special Forces, including
15 years of service as a Green Beret. He saw combat duty in Iraq,
Afghanistan and several other spots around the world during his years in
uniform. Mann points out that ISIS now controls a land area greater in size
than the United Kingdom. He says the U.S. and its allies need to realize ISIS
likely presents a greater threat to the West than any other group it has
confronted since Sept. 11.
"These guys, in a lot of ways, are a lot more advanced than al-Qaida," Mann
said. "Al-Qaida always talked about re-establishing this caliphate, but I don't
think even bin Laden expected to see it in his lifetime. Whereas ISIS, not only
have they established it, the caliphate is part of their legitimacy. So the
expansion of this is a very real thing, and they're going to keep going."
After Sunday's video release of the grisly beheadings of 21 Coptic Christians
in Libya, reports surfaced this week that ISIS plans to use North Africa as a
launching pad for attacks in Europe. Mann believes that is definitely part of
the plan.
"I fully believe they are looking to expand into Europe and even further, and I
do think their activity in Libya and other places indicate that," he said.
Mann said, for all of its horrifying actions, ISIS has been very clear about its
intentions and the U.S. and other nations have been slow to take them
seriously.
"It seems like we keep counting these guys out, or we keep missing what
we're capable of," he said. "The reality is, these guys have a very powerful
narrative that resonates with a lot people. And they follow an end-of-days
kind of scenario here. They are manufacturing a holy war between Islam and
the West, and they fully intend to fight it."
At this week's White House summit on confronting violent extremism,
President Obama said the very reason he does not refer to ISIS as being
motivated by Islamic extremism is because that's what the radicals want.
Mann is of two minds in this debate. First, he said, Obama definitely needs to
be more clear about who America's enemy is.
"I do think it is a mistake to not call out the enemy as Islamist violent
extremists because they certainly are, and they are using medieval Islamism
to justify their actions," said Mann, who also added that Obama is right not to
give ISIS a lot of material to feed its propaganda efforts.
"I do think the president is right in cautioning us to not fall into the role of the
crusader, who they want us to be," Mann said. "That falls right into their
narrative and, frankly, that's how they recruited the shooter in Denmark. It's
how they recruit these young girls from the U.K., this narrative that Islam is
under attack by the West. By trying to 'do something,' we end up playing into
that narrative."
So how will ISIS be most effectively destroyed? Mann said it starts by
studying how ISIS has gobbled up so much territory to this point.
"They go into a fragile state that is basically exploited by violent extremists in
areas that are beyond the reach of that partner government," he said. "In
Iraq, they go into the marginalized Sunni tribal areas, where those tribes are
degraded and beaten down and they co-opt them from the bottom up."
"So if you strike them from the top down with the Iraqi military, whom those
Sunnis distrust, or whether it's with air strikes, you just drive those extremists
deeper into the population, like a tick in a dog," he said.
While Mann believes military action is critical to stop and ultimately destroy
ISIS, he said the key is for American and other allied advisers to go into the
marginalized areas and win over tribal leaders and have them fight back over
time.
"These extremists have to be taken out," he said. "There's no doubt about it. I
believe it needs to be done in the context of a broader strategy, where we get
into these local areas, these strategic safe havens and we find tribal leaders
that are pushing back and resisting and we help them push [ISIS] out of
there. I think that's the only way for the long term that we degrade ISIS and
other extremists to the point they are irrelevant."
According to Mann, sending in huge numbers of ground troops to collaborate
with the tribal leaders would look like another U.S. occupation. He said
sending in the advisers would accomplish the same goal with a much lighter
footprint and a much smaller cost in blood and treasure. He said it's an
approach he personally watched succeed in Afghanistan.
"In the last few years of the Afghan war, Green Berets did that throughout
rural Afghanistan. It was very effective, and Mullah Omar was on record
citing it as one of the greatest threats the Taliban faced," said Mann, who
noted Gen. David Petraeus employed the same strategy in the Sunni areas
of Iraq with groups like Sons of Iraq and The Awakening.
While Mann is urging Western leaders not to underestimate ISIS, he also
cautions that this fight will not be over quickly.
"This McDonald's drive-thru mentality that we have of defeating these guys,
where it happens in a couple of news cycles or a one-year combat rotation is
fantasy," he said. "This is going to take decades to build up partner nation
capacity to push back from the bottom on their own. In many of these
societies, it took several decades to degrade it, and it's going to take that
long to build it back up."
CONVERGENCE of the End Time Signs
CONVERGENCE of the End Time Signs
"CONVERGENCE of the End Time Signs" - Bible Prophecy fulfillment is in
a period of acceleration, a time of Quickening, the world is racing towards
Armageddon, now more than ever we must be ready! We are about to enter
a time like no other time, a time that no man has ever seen, a time like no
other time in the history of this world, as a matter of fact we are about to
enter the end times. Since the dawn of mankind, there have always been
wars and rumors of wars, earthquakes, famines, pestilences, disease,
strange-weather and false Christ's just as Jesus predicted. Fast forward
nearly 2,000 years since Jesus made this prediction, and you have today's
headlines lining up exactly with the Word of God. The big thing isn't that
these events are happening today, is that they are all happening at the very
same time! Bible prophecy is being fulfilled right before our very
eyes. Fulfilled prophecy is increasing in frequency and intensity just like birth
pains, and Jesus said when you see these know that I am near, even at the
door.
All the signs of the last days are converging at the same time. Bible Prophecy
is happening right before our eyes and like birth pains, the predicted events
are happening more frequently and more intently. Never, in the history
throughout the world have so many forces, including economic, scientific,
techno-logic, ecologic, cultural, geopolitical, moral, spiritual and religion,
converged together to bring this world that's already teetering over the edge
into the abyss, to a point of no return. "CONVERGENCE" brings it all
together and will clearly show where all this heading and what people need to
do!

"Awesome - Great Work - Congratulations!" - D. Koerner
"I found it really moving" - D. Bower
"The scene inside the church was awesome. I need to go home and lay on my face.
Great work man!"- R. Miller
"Awesome video! I watched it last night with my family, and we loved it, and plan to
share the word about it" - C. Young
"My wife and I watched the video and it is outstanding. Biblically solid...... we
especially like the clear bible referencing and quoting. The video is a moving tapestry
tightly weaved with spectacular photography, bible references, and the signs of the
times put together like a jigsaw puzzle. The gospel is presented clearly with tender
love. We pray that this DVD gets distributed far and wide. I hope youth ministers have
the courage to show this DVD rather than the garbage materials of the emergent
church movement." - John Wicklund Board President for Olive Tree Ministries
"I received The End of Times DVD today. It is Superb! For those that don't know much,
or anything about Bible Prophecy, this DVD should really open their eyes, a great
teaching tool. For those that have grown cold or indifferent in the Lord, this should
awaken them." T. Nelson
"The DVD provides an effective mix of biblical teaching and history, interspersed with
the happenings in Israel today. Particularly effective is the emotional ending showing
the return of Jewish people worldwide back to Israel and traveling with a sense of
destiny. Many commentators have said Israel is God's hour hand, Jerusalem is the
minute hand, and the Temple Mount is the second hand on God's timepiece. The
video is a great introduction and myth-buster for those who do not know of the
importance of Israel in God's eyes or who believe Israel has as much significance in
today's world as Madagascar or the Canary Islands." - John Wicklund, Chairman Olive
Tree Ministries Board of Directors
Got the DVD today and just finished watching it...outstanding!!! Loved it!!! - G.
Madison - Oklahoma
I watched "Israel God's Timepiece" last night and thoroughly enjoyed it. I have loved
Israel ever since I read the book "Exodus", when I was in the Army in 1958. I do
everything I can to support Israel and get people involved in what they are going
through, and more than that, to pray for Peace in Jerusalem, according to Psalm 122.
Your DVD was a fitting tribute to this wonderful, spectacular country and God's very
own "baby". Thanks for taking the time to put it together. Very well done. - J. Masters Mississippi
It is really a professional production and I see why it is so well received. In fact we felt
it is actually the best film we have seen on end time events. - Bill & Brenda Hicks
At first I thought it was going to be another routine message but as it progressed it
became more and more impressive. It was a great message. Congratulations on a very
well presented and produced DVD. - R. Webb - Williamsburg
Another effective witness from Randy and Prophecy Update. The "There will be
Tribulation" video describes the purpose and the sequence of events during the final
seven years prior to the return of the Lord Jesus Christ. The linkage to many Old
Testament prophecies clearly show the importance of the nation of Israel to this
seven-year period. The pictures in the video document a world already full of
tribulation- how terrible will be those seven years. Great teaching tool for small
groups and youth ministers to present the gospel message through the topic of
bible prophecy. - John Wicklund Chair- Olive Tree Ministries Board of
Directors
"Moving and Inspirational" - D. Koerner, Bakersfield, CA
"Your Presentation will literally scare the h-ll out some people. There is enough
scripture and warnings of what is coming to cause, anyone, who has put off accepting
the Lord's salvation through Jesus to repent now!" - Don Mills - Director of
Programming - CSN Radio - Twin Falls, ID
Brother Randy, to say it was a great movie documentary is an understatement. Thank
you for doing the Lord's work. This movie gave me the chills. - Terrance Alan Kaukauna, WI
Thanks so much for the DVD There will be Tribulation...I watched it the other day,
finally. It is well done and really holds your attention. In fact, it's unrelenting...which
of course is what it needs to be. - Rich and JoAnne - Temecula, CA

Nearing Midnight: Netanyahu's Prophetic Gig - Terry James
- http://www.raptureready.com/rap16.html
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should be addressed by pre-trib
Bible prophecy watchers as Prime-Time Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He is
set to step not only into the stage lights of human history, but into the
supernatural Spotlight of eternity.
I can't help but sense that his upcoming performance on the governmental
platform that is considered by the world as premier, center stage for a global
audience will perhaps be a most significant message for prophetic things to
come. Mr. Netanyahu's destiny to, in effect, address the world from earth's
most visible lectern--the US Congress--was set months ago, the invitation
issued by now Speaker of the House John Boehner. To review the things that
have developed since that invitation was made is to stand in awe-prophetically speaking.
Where to begin? There is no easily definable such entry point, so we will just
jump in...
Russia, in this particular instance, is almost secondary to consider in viewing
the developments through the prism of Bible prophecy. The nation that it
seems will likely fill the bill at some point to lead the Ezekiel 38-39 GogMagog collective force growls at present only on the periphery of coalescing
end-times matters. However, the Russian bear, by its powerful threat, gives
protective strength--economically, technologically, and, most dangerously,
militarily--to Israel's Middle East prophetic antagonists.
No one is willing to conduct serious military activity these days against
Israel's most potentially dangerous enemy. That enemy--Persia--is scheduled
to be at the heart of the Gog-Magog invasion. That force is predicted by God
through the prophet Ezekiel to try to do what the governmental leaders and
ayatollahs of modern-day Persia have been promising for years: to wipe
Israel off the map.
Iran is, as everybody is aware, unabashedly--under Russia's watch-care and
blessings-- developing a nuclear program to accomplish exactly that bloodvowed mission.
Benjamin Netanyahu is more aware than most anyone on the planet of
exactly what this all means. While all of the diplomatic niceties are observed
and talks with Iranian's hate-filled leaders to convince them to do what they
will never do goes on and on, Israel's security becomes increasingly
vulnerable by the hour. The US president, his secretary of state, and all of
the other administration interlocutors believe they will pull off some sort of
miraculous, diplomatic resolution to the Iranian nuclear weapons
development versus Israel's determination to not let that program come to
fruition.
Meantime, Netanyahu is expected to patiently tend to his own business and
let the real "experts" clear up this somewhat disconcerting but still doable
matter. (Like this administration has so successfully cleaned up everything
else with which they've dealt.)
ISIS (ISIL) is on the move, determined to establish a caliphate. It is on the
verge of becoming strong enough to make Iraq its IS (Islamic State) from
which they intend to conquer the world for Allah. Do I seriously think they are
wanting to do this? Have you been watching the murderous rampage? How
could they more profoundly demonstrate the seriousness of their intent?
Jerusalem is their ultimate goal--perhaps by way of Rome. This is what those
in the know are reporting. All is Bible prophecy in the making.
All of Islam seems to be impressed with this genocidal horde, as
demonstrated by its silence, while ISIS beheads and burns their way in their
demonic crusade. Only those states directly affected by the deaths of their
citizens--like Jordan and Egypt--are striking back. This, however, is done in a
very scattered and ineffective fashion for the most part.
All the while, the "leadership" of America can't even muster the courage to
call the world's number-one enemy at present by its theological ideology.
Certainly, the United States has no clear strategy to defeat ISIS (or ISIL) like
President Obama has vowed.
Prime-Time Minister Benjamin Netanyahu--and I mean to bestow that term
with great respect--I have a distinct sense, is planning to use his time March
3, on the most visible stage in the world--a world under threat as never
before--to state exactly who that enemy is, and what to do about it. This is
what has the American president and other appeasement-and -placate
negotiators furious and wringing their hands. Mr. Netanyahu just might upset
their brilliant diplomatic strategy. That strategy apparently is to do nothing
except talk interminably while Israel's would-be assassins build the weapon
with which to accomplish their long-held dream of killing all Jews.
The rest of the world now harbors the infection called Islam. Anti-Semitic acts
of deadly violence are exploding across Europe as well as the Middle East.
The anti-Jewish, anti-Israel slogans and verbal invective are becoming more
obvious by the day, even in America. Jewish cemeteries are found to be
desecrated around the world. Mr. Netanyahu, for one, sees the handwriting
on the wall of world incivility.
The Israeli prime minister has issued an invitation for Jews everywhere to
come home to Israel. This, in my view, borders on being a God-engraved,
prophetic invitation for the wrap-up of this judgment-bound age.
My friend Jim Fletcher used these Scriptures in a recent "Israel Watch" for
Rapture Ready. They are most appropriate in this context as Benjamin
Netanyahu steps up to the microphone on March 3. I pray that his speech
eventuates.
Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the
coasts of the earth, and with them the blind and the lame, the woman with
child and her that travaileth with child together: a great company shall return
thither. They shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead them:
I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way, wherein
they shall not stumble: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn.
Hear the word of the Lord, O ye nations, and declare it in the isles afar off,
and say, He that scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a
shepherd doth his flock." (Jeremiah 31: 8-10)
DarkNet: A thriving marketplace for criminal
transactions - from narcotics to terrorism http://www.debka.com/article/24419/DarkNet-A-thriving-marketplace-for-criminaltransactions---from-narcotics-to-terrorism-
Ross Ulbricht, 30, the operator of the Silk Road online marketplace for illegal
substances, was convicted on all seven counts brought against him before a
Manhattan court earlier this month. They included every type of hard drugs,
money laundering, criminal conspiracy, terrorism and hacking - all transacted
in virtual bitcoin currency. The FBI dubbed Silk Road the e-Bay of dope.
Sentencing is scheduled for May 15, but meanwhile, US marshals will
auction off Ulbricht's 50,000 bitcoin hoard on March 5.
In a separate legal process, Ulbricht was accused of using the alias of
"Dread Pirate Roberts" to solicit murder, with the help of an undercover
police officer.
Our cyber expert notes that DarkNet operates as the hidden bottom floor of
the legal, public world web. Widely used by sophisticated criminal
organizations and spooks, it conducts a lively trade in stolen official data,
false identities, fake credit cards, firearms and ammo, as well as biological
and chemical weapons. Also found there are hard porno, including materials
for pedophiles and snuff videos.
A substantial part of the illicit international drug traffic is routed through
DarkNet, including the logistics of production, marketing, payment collection
and money laundering. It is accessed through The Tor "routing onion," the
open sesame for surfers seeking prohibited services.
This subterranean site was originally developed by the US Navy for the safe,
undetectable transfer of secret communications. Its main difference from
ordinary web sites is that it is constructed like an onion and operates through
many layers of computers which transfer encrypted messages from one layer
to the next until they reach their destination. This method is designed to seal
the message's secrecy against interception or decryption en route.
The DarkNet system operates a number of marketplaces for its forbidden
wares. One of the best known was Silk Road, which has now been shut
down.
debkafile's cyber experts report that American intelligence and law
enforcement agencies make a point of deliberately parading their
weaknesses in countering the ulterior levels of the Internet. The FBI
repeatedly complains that doesn't have the resources for tracing criminal and
terrorist activity through the Internet.
Our experts suspect these agencies "protest too much" to cover up their real
occupation, which is to steer the internet underworld into the waiting arms of
National Security Agency (NSA) researchers and monitors.
Much of its software originated in the first place with US government
agencies. It was they who created the algorithms for transferring data and
designed the TOR protocol and the Topology network.
In the second place, various NSA programs are deeply entrenched in the
nether regions of the Internet, reaching into the hubs carried by Internet
servers and able to "see" almost every transaction, mail, surf or download
taking place anywhere in the world.
These capabilities do not exactly confirm the claims by US agencies that
their oversight is severely limited.
Neither does the manner in which "Pirate Roberts" was finally run to ground
in a San Francisco public library.
Although Ross was a computer and programming genius, he needed help for
solving a technical glitch on his servers. Through a questions-and-answers
site, he accessed stackoverflow.com and made the mistake of using his real
name. Two minutes later, he corrected his user name to frosty@frosty.
It was that which finally landed him in hot water, because it was identical to
the last part of the servers' encryption key found at his home.
Ross Ulbricht's New York trial was widely reported and publicized especially after the jury quickly reached a unanimous verdict of guilty.
However, since then, the traffic on DarkNet traffic has not subsided. In fact
the volume of illicit trade in dangerous drugs, trafficking in people and body
parts, the supply of aberrant pornography, stolen financial data, and
conventional and unconventional means of warfare, expands all the time.
Daily Jot: Giuliani gets no respect, neither do
Americans - Bill Wilson - www.dailyjot.com
Former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani is taking heat from the leftist
media and the White House for his remarks last Wednesday that the US
"president" did not love his country. According to an account from the New
York Post, Giuliani "doubled down" in an interview Friday. The Post reports
that Giuliani claims that the "commander in chief has been influenced by
communists since his youth. The Post reported Giuliani said, "From the time
he was 9 years old, he was influenced by Frank Marshall Davis, who was a
communist." The Post says Giuliani also said another bad influence on the
"president" was Saul Alinsky, a community organizer whom the ex-mayor
called a "socialist."
In the interview Giuliani said, "He doesn't talk about America the way John
Kennedy and Ronald Reagan did, about America's greatness and
exceptionalism, He was educated by people who were critics of the US. And
he has not been able to overcome those influences." Giuliani also said,
"Somebody has to raise these issues with the president. Somebody has to
have the courage to stand up." Giuliani criticized the "president" for paying
more attention to the police shooting in Missouri, which, "turned out to be
justified," than the killings by the Islamic State. He asked, "How could you
hold a press conference about Ferguson and not hold a press conference
when Christians and Jews were slaughtered?"
The New York Times reported that Joe M. Allbaugh, a former Giuliani adviser
who led the Federal Emergency Management Agency during the World
Trade Center attacks, said he applauded Mr. Giuliani's candor. The Times
quoted Allbaugh as saying, "He [Giuliani] represents a lot of Americans who
are scratching their heads wondering why our president-the president of the
United States-doesn't defend our culture the way he defends everybody
else's culture." The White House was condescending and disrespectful in its
response. Press Secretary Josh Earnest gave the leftist news media what
they wanted in saying, "I think, really, the only thing that I feel is to feel sorry
for Rudy Giuliani today."
Many Americans have raised the same questions as has Giuliani. The
response has been the same. Moreover, there are many Americans who
raised such questions and have been targets of IRS audits, phone tapping,
and other harassments. White House press secretary Josh Earnest is a
reflection of his boss. They are 2 Timothy 3 sort of men--lovers of their own
selves, covetous, boasters, proud, traitors, false accusers, despisers of those
that are good. This is why there can be no honest dialogue about the
leadership of this nation. When someone raises a concern, they are attacked
as if they are the problem. As 2 Timothy 3:13 says, "But evil men and
seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived."
Daily Devotion: Put It Away - Greg Laurie - www.harvest.org
"No more shall every man teach his neighbor, and every man his brother,
saying, 'Know the LORD,' for they all shall know Me, from the least of them to
the greatest of them, says the LORD. For I will forgive their iniquity, and their
sin I will remember no more.' " -Jeremiah 31:34
I read about an interesting custom that takes place every New Year's Eve in
Italy. Just before midnight, the streets are cleared. Even the policemen take
cover, because at the stroke of midnight, the windows of the houses fly open,
and to the sound of laughter, music, and fireworks, everyone throws out what
they no longer want. Old dishes, hated furniture, and some personal
possessions are tossed out of the windows. It's a way of dealing with the old
year, wiping it out, and starting fresh. I like the idea of that.
The apostle Paul said in Philippians, "Brethren, I do not count myself to have
apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind
and reaching forward to those things which are ahead" (3:13). To forget
something does not mean failing to remember; it means no longer being
influenced or affected by it.
When God promised, "For I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will
remember no more" (Jeremiah 31:34), it is not suggesting that God was
having a lapse in memory. He knows everything. He remembers everything.
When God says He is choosing not to remember something, it means that
He is putting it away.
We can put it away as well. We break the power of the past by living for the
future. And we should not choose to remember what God has chosen to
forget. Sometimes we are crippled by the things we have done wrong.
Instead, we should learn from our mistakes and fail forward, which means not
doing the same things again. Otherwise, we haven't learned anything.
It's a serious sin to do the wrong thing, but what is even worse is to repeat it.
And one sure way to forget our past is to not repeat our mistakes.

FEATURED ARTICLE
Featured Article: The Rise of the Little Horn of
Daniel? - By pastor Mike Taylor - http://www.churchofgodusa.org/1/post/2015/02/the-rise-of-the-little-horn-of-daniel.html
Daniel 11:36 "And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt
himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvelous
things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be
accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done.
11:37 Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of
women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.
11:38 But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god whom
his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious
stones, and pleasant things.
11:39 Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god, whom
he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to
rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain."
In this passage, the prophet Daniel was given information about a coming
king who will exalt himself above the God of heaven in his abominations and
blasphemy. Of course, this passage is about the coming Anti-Christ. And like
other authors, I believe we should be looking for the return of the King of
kings, our Lord, Jesus Christ and not looking for the Anti-Christ, BUT in the
same breath, realize that as the time grows short for our Lord's return, that
there will be signs and symptoms present when the coming of the lawless
one is close. So if the lawless one be close, the coming of the King of kings,
is even closer.
II Thessalonians :
2:3 "Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come,
except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the
son of perdition;
2:4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that
is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing
himself that he is God.
2:5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these
things?
2:6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his
time.
2:7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth
will let, until he be taken out of the way.
2:8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume
with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his
coming:
2:9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power
and signs and lying wonders,
2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish;
because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved."
In this passage, Paul explains to the people who thought that they had
missed the coming of the Lord, and all were scared to death that the
Tribulation was upon them, even back in Paul's day. But Paul admonished
them, and encouraged them that that day would not come, until certain things
must happen. A falling away would happen, or apostasy within even the
church. The Holy Spirit would be withdrawn "He who let will let, till HE be
taken out of the way." I believe a clear passage that God will remove His
protective hand, and the Holy Spirit's protection from the earth back to prePentecostal times, and let Satan have full sway over the inhabitants of this
earth, to deceive, to destroy, and to obtain worship for himself through one
possessed individual, the Anti-Christ. Now saying that, let us turn to a recent
event that will give any Bible believing person pause and turn their attention
to a man who has risen to power, from out of no-where, in a country that is
part of the revised Roman Empire.
Rise of the Little Horn?
Daniel 7:7 "After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast,
dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it
devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it:
and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten
horns.
7:8 I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them
another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up
by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a
mouth speaking great things."
I have been watching and being amazed at the sudden rise of one man to
power from out of "no-where" that has taken over the country of Greece. His
name is Alexis Tsipras. From a Christian Blog:
"One interesting candidate that is clearly different from most of the others is
Greek politician Alexis Tsipras. He is the nominee for the Party of the
European left; he also is the youngest of all the candidates at 39 years of
age. He is a total Marxist/atheist whose political roots are in socialism and
communism. He remains un-married, but has cohabitated with his high
school girlfriend for twenty years and they have one child."
Since then, this mystery candidate has taken the country of Greece by storm
and has risen as a rock star in politics with a charismatic personality that has
adoring subjects looking upon him with tears in their eyes, in near worship of
a man they call, "their savior". So who is this man Alexis Tsipras and what
does he stand for? What he is, is a man of charm and a orator of seductive
words. He was described by Geri Ungerean on "Now The End Begins"
thusly:
"His name is Alexis Tsipras, and it seems that he meets much of the criteria
of the prophesied Antichrist. He was just elected as the Prime Minister of
Greece. He is an atheist and a far left winger. His party in Greece is called
SYRIZA. He has appeared out of nowhere in the last couple of years, almost
magically. He has landed himself in a most precarious situation. Greece is
broken. Is he the one to fix it, and also the EU which is struggling and groping
at almost anything to revive Europe? All eyes are on this man.
On Sept 17, 2014 Mr. Tsipras met with Pope Francis at the Vatican. He was
the first leader of a left-wing party that met the head of the Roman-Catholic
church-ever! This is not surprising with this Pope, because he is rabidly
ecumenical, and very "Green", and always talking about global warming and
people harming the earth. It has been said that Tsipras and the Pope get
along famously, and are in one accord. No problem that one claims to be the
head of the "faithful" on this earth, and the other, a staunch atheist. Could it
be that there are unseen circumstances, not being divulged to the public? I
would say, assuredly so."
All of Europe, especially Germany, along with some in Greece itself, are
afraid of what the new Prime Minister might do with the national debt and
austerity measures that have crippled many into abject poverty. He has
vowed to battle the "troika" or the IMF, the EC, and the ECB. (International
Monetary Fund, European Commission, and the European Central Bank).
The discontented have flocked to SYRIZA, partially encouraged by Tsipras'
repeated promises to repeal the memoranda and abandon all deals with the
troika if and when he is elected Prime Minister. This kind of talk is partially
what many have been afraid of, both within Greece and abroad.
And the most disturbing to any prophecy student is that the new PM is a ProPalestinian supporter and an enemy of Israel:
"During last summer's Gaza war, Alexis Tsipras, the new prime minister of
Greece, said Israel's "brutality cannot be tolerated." Senior members of his
party - which in this week's elections nearly got an absolute majority participated in the 2010 flotilla, which sought to break Israel's naval blockade
of Gaza and resulted in a deadly clash between Turkish activists and Israeli
troops. One of the party's delegates to the European Parliament is said to be
openly sympathetic to Hamas." Israel is said to be concerned and nervous
over this development in Greek politics.
I was reading a post by Prophecy teacher, Terry James on Rapture Ready
and his comments were very strong to keep a close watch on this man. Here
are two excerpts from that article:
Antichrist Archetype Emerges
"...There has surfaced, in my view at least, an archetype of the leader to
come who will be the first beast of Revelation 13. This generation is not yet
in the Tribulation, but is experiencing precursors to that last seven years that
makes us know that a time of unprecedented troubles is just ahead.
Likewise, a leader has arisen from the area of the reviving Roman Empire,
one whose emergence makes the observant Bible prophecy student suspect
ever more assuredly that Antichrist is waiting in the shadows of the
immediate future.
Any such leader rising suddenly and dramatically out of the very nucleus of
what was ancient Rome justifiably raises the eyebrows of Bible prophecy
students. The visible, physical reactions of those who have put him on his
pedestal are quite interesting...glassy eyes filled with tears of joy, as they
looked worshipfully at the man on whom they are hanging their hopes. As a
matter of fact, the slogan for his campaign was "Hope is coming!" - Terry
James, RaptureReady.com.
I would remind the reader, that besides this man we are discussing today,
another politician who has some of the same credentials as Tsipras, and that
is found in the current "usurper in Chief" that resides in the office of the
POTUS. He also promised "hope and change", but there is little hope, and
only change in our pockets. Mr. Obama and Mr. Tsipras are mirror images to
some degree on either side of the "big pond". Who will lead the "One World
Government". I remember reading that Henry Kissinger expressed hope that
it would be Obama. Now, maybe he will change his mind? But back to
Tsipras, the new PM of Greece.
GREECE ELECTS THEIR OWN VERSION OF OBAMA
We know very little about this man. He has a quality of being believed
without a long established history of significant accomplishments or well
accepted political plans or skills. Which reminds me of another politician that
rose from obscurity as junior senator from Illinois and promised hope and
change and is now the president of the most powerful nation on earth. So do
they each sound familiar? I've long thought that Obama had the qualities of
the Anti-Christ, but only as a pre-cursor to the actual man who would be the
lawless one. Oh, Obama is lawless enough because of the way he conducts
himself above the clear constraints of the U.S. Constitution or the rule of law,
but he just doesn't quite fit the mold of a man that the world would flock to as
their god in the Tribulation.
But concerning this rising star in the EU, Mr. Tsipras has been forging an
alliance with a sworn enemy of the aforementioned EU and of NATO and that
would be Russia, and Vladmir Putin, its president. Earlier this week, Greece's
defense minister and outspoken "Eurosceptic" Panos Kammenos announced
that he was invited to Moscow to meet his Russian counterpart, Sergei
Shoygu, in the near future.
Greece is one of the 28 members of NATO, while Russia perceives NATO
as its biggest threat. So if Russia and Greece do form a military alliance, then
Russia will have found an ally within its biggest perceived enemy. So Greece
is warming up to Russia, who is also in league with Middle Eastern enemies
of Israel. That's only one part of this political intrigue that is being played out
right in front of us.
Another is the cozy relationship between a proclaimed atheist and the leader
of the Roman Catholic Church, the pope. In a press release it was reported:
"In our meeting with Pope Francis today, we had the opportunity to discuss
the economic crisis, as well as the crisis in human values...we asked [Pope
Francis] to take an international initiative for the termination of conflicts in the
Middle East...we agreed that the dialogue between the Left and the Christian
Church must go on. We may have different ideological starting points;
however, we converge on common values, like solidarity, love for the fellow
Human being, social justice, and our concern regarding world peace."
Interesting, to say the least. Here is a proclaimed Atheist (who along with his
significant other who he met while being a member of the "Students for
Communism") who is meeting with the supposed leader of the "Christian"
world and is asking for his intervention in the problems between the
Palestinians and the nation of Israel. Now some would wonder, is this
meeting with the coming believed, false prophet with a man who is unmarried
and a communist /Marxist be any cause for concern?
THE ANTI-CHRIST WILL BE HOMOSEXUAL?
There is a common belief that I've heard that the Anti-Christ will be a
homosexual, as I believe his precursor to this role is also, Mr. Barak Hussein
Obama, being a homosexual. Many use this scripture to promote this belief.
Daniel 11:37 "Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire
of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all."
Daniel says that this man will not regard the God of his fathers, (Tsipras is
an atheist and a communist)...so he doesn't adhere to any god, or the God of
the universe. The scripture saying that the man will not regard, "the desire of
women" doesn't necessarily mean he is a homosexual. In the times of Israel
when the prophesied Messiah was believed ready to be born as prophesied,
women of the nation, each "desired to be the mother" of the coming Messiah.
This passage could mean that the Anti-Christ will not believe in the true
Messiah of the nation of Israel and of the world, Jesus Christ. But something
that made me take pause of this man that I read concerning his family
history. The man, Alexia Tsiparis is of Jewish ancestry. You heard me
correctly. The man is an unbelieving Jew, an atheist who has no regard for
the God of his fathers of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and who denies the
Lordship of Jesus Christ, as the majority of Jewish people do. From a excerpt
I read on this man's family history:
""The father of Alexis Cipra, Pavlos Cipra, died in 2012. He was a billionaire
with a direct link with the Mossad, (Jewish Intelligence like our CIA) he was
the father of a slave BHL entrepreneur in Africa where he was trafficking in
Africans. He sent dozens of Africans in Greece in order to exploit them,
giving them just enough to survive in its construction companies and public
travux.
The family business "SKAPANEA" was responsible for all major public works
in Greece since the junta until today, construction / restoration of Orthodox
churches through broadcasting. Like the Italian Mafia, the other companies
have to pay a percentage to the "family" if they want to survive. "
Yes, you read that correctly. I have been finding people in Greece saying
that Tsipras is actually "Cipra" and is of Jewish blood.
"Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers (Yahweh) , nor the desire of
women (Jesus Christ), nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself
above all." Many End Times scholars have concluded that this passage of
Scripture from Daniel 11:37 shows the Antichrist to be atheist, since he no
longer regards the God of his fathers, but not necessarily homosexual. Just a
denier of the Son of God."
TSIPRAS TIES WITH GEORGE SOROS
Anytime I hear the name of George Soros, the hair on the back of my neck
stands up. This is the same man that financed and brought Barak Obama to
the forefront of American politics to the shame of the American voter. It
seems this alleged "Illumanati" individual uses his multiple-billions to
engineer the political scene of any country to further his concept of a One
World Government and of course, make him money is again involved in
political intrigue and mystery behind the scenes. Hey, but it's all in a day's
work for this evil man.
Soros is the same man, while as a teenager worked to turn in his own
countrymen, the Jewish people, into the Nazis to be loaded on trains to the
death camps. Yes, Soros is Jewish. Why is it, that when an unbelieving
Jewish person who rejects God of his fathers, becomes a reprobate? Ever
look at the Hollywood community populated by unbelieving Jews in the
movie/entertainment industry? The community is rampant with
homosexuality, sexual deviancy, and anything that titillates the primeval,
sinful nature of mortal men. It reminds me of when Israel went into idolatry
and went so far from God, that God brought swift judgment on the nation. It
almost seems in direct conflict with the plan of God to bring Israel and the
Jewish (Hebrew) nation into direct worship of the God of the Universe again
in the future. But God is in control and men like Soros will be judged along
with other evil men that are either Jew or Gentile. But the point aside from
this fact is, when George Soros is involved in anything politically, then no
good can come from it, and the Christian student of biblical prophecy must
take notice.
IS TSIPRAS THE ANTI-CHRIST?
It's too early to tell, and from my Christian point of view and what I have
supported in my years of ministry, is that the "true Christian", the believer in
Jesus Christ and Him crucified, will not know for sure. We may have a
suspicion and a good idea of who the man MIGHT be. But until the Church is
removed according to II Thessalonians 2:7-8, and the Holy Spirit being
removed prior to the AC being revealed, we will only have questions and
suspicions. This revealing of the AC will be accomplished when the "son of
perdition" signs a 7 year peace treaty with Israel, which is a pact with the
devil. So if the Holy Spirit is removed, so shall the Church be removed, or
Jesus would have been lying, when He said:
Matthew 28:20 "Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have
commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the
world."
John 14:18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
14:19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me:
because I live, ye shall live also.
14:20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I
in you.
Since we know that our Lord does not lie, Paul told us through Holy Spirit
revelation, the church will be leaving sometime prior to the revealing of the
Anti-Christ.
Now I am not definitively saying that this new Greek Prime Minister, Tsipras
is the prophesied Anti-Christ, but let us summarize what we have learned or
has been reported concerning this man:
1. Tsipras came to the political scene from out of no-where. He was a
brought to the scene of Greek politics by intrigue and money.
2. The man is a Marxist/Communist, an Atheist, and belongs to a hard left
political party called Syriza. (will he be called a "Syrian"?)
3.
The man is Jewish by ancestry. An unbelieving Jew of Grecian birth.
4. He has made alliances with both ends of the spectrum. Vladimir Putin
and Pope Francis, the possible Gog of the Gog-Magog alliance, and the
possible False Prophet, in that order. Pretty cozy, I'd say.
5. He comes out of the least of the NATO alliance countries, and smack
dab in the middle of the revised Roman Empire.
6. He has rock star qualities and speaks with a charismatic speaking style
that is not unlike Barak Obama, and the people are in near worship of
him...again, like many do Obama here in the USA.
7.
He is backed by a shadowy Illumanati type individual, George Soros.
8. He is a rabid supporter of the Palestinian cause and supports a Two
State solution to dividing Israel. Even being a Jew himself, he is against the
nation of Israel.
Much can be speculated about both this man, the new PM of Greece, and
for that matter, our own POTUS. Both have Anti-Christ credentials and
personality traits that would give any biblical student reason to keep an eye
on either man and to see what develops. What it does tell me, is the hour is
very late, and the AC is just out of sight, waiting to be revealed. Both these
men are on the world stage with a mask over their true intentions. The time of
the Church's departure grows ever closer and the date approaches of which
no one knows for sure, except the signs which we have discussed in
numerous messages found on my website and re-printed by Christian
partners in prophecy forums. The picture become more and more clear,
much as a slow forming film strip developing in a photographer's dark room.
So we have another person and event to keep a watch on. What will
develop? Only God and time will tell. Don't be misled by anyone who
promises you the moon, especially in politics and religion. Keep your eye on
Jesus Christ which is found in God's Word. He will never let you down, unlike
men of this world.
"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that
whosever believeth in Him, should not perish, but have everlasting life." John
3:16
