Where Do the Two Witnesses Fit into Daniel 9:27? - David Pepe http://www.theignorantfishermen.com/2015/06/the-two-witnesses-are-keywhere-do-two.html My dear friends, no doubt that such a thought on this "established" topic is bound for harsh criticism by those who hold strongly to their Daniel 9:27 position... but... here we go.... My dear friends, the key to understanding Daniel 9:27 is found in the 1260 day ministry of the Two Witnesses, which takes place in the first half of the seven year tribulation (Rev. 11:1-13). Leave these Two out or diminish them at all and the whole prophetic text of Daniel 9:27 falls apart. Many fine biblical scholars throughout the years have suggested in this passage that it will be the anti-Messiah - who will make a covenant with the many (an abundance) - which also includes the nation of Israel and will bring shalom and security to the nation of Israel by adding his mighty strength (gabar) to it (Ezek. 38: 38:8,11, 12, 14, 39:26, Dan. 9:27). In this text it never refers to Daniel's people or to the nation of Israel. It just points out that his covenant will be with an abundance of peoples (Dan. 9). These scholars have also believed that it will be through this covenant with the Anti- Messiah that the Jews in Israel will be able to rebuild a temple on the Temple Mount, which is at present one of the greatest holy sites in the Islamic world (Dan. 9:27). The Jews WILL indeed rebuild the temple at this time, but not in light of any treaty or covenant made with the anti-Messiah. It will be the Two Witnesses who will begin the re-institution of the daily scarifies and oblations, which will cease after their ministry for 1290 days because of Satan's Anti-Christ (Dan. 9:27, 12:11, Matt, 24:15, 2 Thess. 2:3-4, Rev. 11:12) and then begin again under the Messiah for a thousand years in the Kingdom Age (Ezek. 40-48); which will also point back to Messiah's perfect atoning work. These also through those sacrifices will begin to teach secular Israel their desperate need for repentance, propitiation and salvation dressed in sackcloth and that the returning King of Israel and Savior of the world is now at hand (Isa. 53, Dan. 2: 44-45, 7:13-14, 9:27, 12:11, Matt. 24:15, Mark 13:14, John 1:29, Rom. 10:2-4, 2 Thess. 2:4, 1 John 4:10, Rev. 11:1-2)! Dear friends, I would like for you to hear me out on before you cast me aside as an apostate. Read this post in its entirety and looked at the Scripture references and see for yourself how absolutely crucial it is to NOT explain away or neglect the place of position that the Two Witnesses have in the first half of the seven year tribulation (Rev. 11). In the Daniel 9:27 "covenant" it is suggested by many that the anti - Messiah will broker a "sound peace deal" on Israel's behalf and will be able to totally stop all Islamic and world aggressions against her. Many have taken great liberties on this Bible verse over the years, even to the point of leaving out or theorizing around the fact that the world at this time will be experiencing HORRIFIC EXPONENTIAL desolation via the Seal and Trumpet Judgments (Dan. 9:27, Matt. 24:4-8, Mark 13:5-8, Luke 21:8-11, Rev. 6-9). These preach that the anti-Christ during this first half (3 1/2 years) of the tribulation will be fully able to override such EXPONENTIAL Divine judgments and still have power to protect Israel from all harm; even to the point that Israel's cites dwell without walls and in total safety (Ezek. 38:8,11, 12, 14, 39:26, Dan. 9:27). My friends, such thoughts and theories now in the light of our EXPONENTIAL technological day with the world's GREAT weapons of mass destruction cannot hold any water. This Daniel 9:27 theory has been the standard template of many fine biblical scholars for a very long time. I totally believe the key to seeing Daniel 9:27 righty is found in rightly understanding the Two Witnesses earthly ministry which takes place in the first 1260 days of the seven year tribulation (Rev. 11:1-13). What is absolutely amazing to me is how little is stated about these Two MIGHTY Witnesses of Almighty God and their TOTAL AUTHORITY and POWER over ALL nations during the first half of the seven year tribulation (Rev. 11:3-13). These Two Witnesses are usually made light of and are mentioned secondary in light of the theory that the ant- Messiah will be the dominate player in the first half of the seven year tribulation period. This is a great flaw and a huge oversight with great consequences to sound prophetic truths that pertain to that Day (Rev. 6-11). It is my own personal opinion that when these Two are set aside and neglected as they often are, the whole prophetic perspective of Daniel 9:27 falls flat on its face. The anti-Christ WILL indeed make a covenant with many (an abundance) which will start the 70th week of Daniel, but I truly believe that it will be made against Israel and not for her. As we are at the end of the age we can see clearer than ever what others could not ever see. All of today's evidence shows that there is a united global effort and movement (including the USA) to use the EXPONENTIAL advances of human technology to subtly and stealthily go after Israel and annihilate her (Zech. 3:1-2, Eph. 2:1-2, 6:12). Even now Israel's back is against the wall on the world stage and without Almighty God's Divine interceding at "that moment in time" - after the Rapture of the body of Christ/Messiah - when the Daniel 9:27 covenant is strengthened by "the prince to come", Israel would indeed perish. It is my personal belief - based on sound Scripture evidence - that the Two Witnesses of Revelation will be sent to Israel as this covenant is confirmed and will then protect Israel for the first 1260 days of the seven year tribulation period (until the midst of the week) from all global satanic aggression and will preach repentance unto her (Ezek. 38: 38:8,11, 12, 14, 39:26 Rev. 11:3-13). My dear friends, a few more key points and challenges I would like to make to Bible scholars is for them to see how many times the person of the "AntiChrist" is found in the first half of the seven year tribulation period in comparison to the second half. The passages referring to the anti- Christ in the second half of the seven year tribulation are much more abundant and display him in a place of total global dominance and authority, while in the first half he is lightly esteemed. The Anti Christ/Messiah does NOT come to ABSOLUTE TOTAL power UNTIL AFTER the 1260 day ministry of the Two Witnesses is completed, which will start the second half of the seven year tribulation period - (Rev. 11:3-7,13:1-5); thus he will be absolutely no match for Almighty God's Two Witnesses' ministry nor the dominant man of power as many make him to be during the first half of the seven year tribulation period. There are only a few places in which we find the Anti Christ in the first half of the seven year tribulation period and in all cases it is a place of secondary standing (Dan.9:26-27, Rev. 17:8, 10, 11, 2 Thess. 2:3, 6-8). The Two Witnesses of Almighty God - will be at this time GREAT BURNING lights of Divine REALITY and TRUTH unto Israel and the entire world (Rev. 11:3-6). In a post unregenerate church age world (Rev. 6-16) because of the Rapture of the Body of Christ - John 14:3, 1 Cor, 15:51-57, 1 Thess. 4:13-18, 2 Thess. 2:5-8, 1 John 3:1-4, Rev. 4:1), these Two will ABSOLUTELY DOMINATE the first half of the seven year tribulation period with ALL AUTHORITY, POWER, SIGNS and WONDERS (Rev. 11:3-6). In Revelation 11:3-6 we see the ABSOLUTE TREMENDOUS POWER that these Two Individuals can wield upon the godless nations of the world; including against Gog (the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal), the land of Magog and his confederacy (Ezek. 38-39). Whosoever opposes their Divine ministry for Israel and are for her total destruction will be immediately dealt with (Rev. 11:3-6). During their Divine ministry they will absolutely TORMENT the world for 1260 days and will be totally UNDEFEATABLE at this time (Rev. 11:3-10)! No wonder that after their 1260 days are fulfilled and then murdered at the hand of the beast that the satanically driven world will greatly rejoice with exceeding joy and give gifts to each other as they now proclaim in its right season (Rev. 11:7-13), "Who is like unto the beast? Who is able to make war with him (Rev. 11:7-10, 13:4)?" It will be this common bond of hatred towards Almighty God's Two Witnesses that will be the common tie that binds all nations against the established REALITY of Almighty God's RIGHTEOUS Person, His call to global repentance and the 666 alliance of desolation under the resuscitated Anti-Christ (Dan. 9:27, Matt. 24:15, Rev. 11:3-17, Rev. 13; Rev. 17:7-17). One more point I would like to write about and it is about is the nation of Israel during this time. The nation of Israel WILL dwell in total safety and unwalled villages during the 1260 day ministry of Almighty God's Two Witnesses unto the point that all manner of national security, technological and armed forces will not be needed (Ezek. 38:8,11, 12, 14, 39:26, Matt. 24:15-20, Mark 13:1418, Luke 21:20-24, Rev. 11:3-6). Israel during this first half of the seven year tribulation will dwell in complete safety and in unwalled villages (Ezek. 38:8,11, 12, 14, 39:26) because of the Divine protection of Almighty God's Two Witnesses (Rev. 11:2-6). With the Two Witnesses of Revelation's POWERFUL Divine ministry, why would Israel ever need the Pre-Revelation 13 anti- Messiah of the Daniel 9:27 theory to bring them security, peace and safety? No human or even the devil himself can bring about that type of protection from the godless driven nations of the world as history has overwhelmingly proven. The Almighty ABSOLUTELY REIGNS in the affairs of fallen man and the devil must always submit to Almighty God's ETERNAL plan and purpose for all nations. At this time Almighty God's ETERNAL plan and good purpose will be to protect unbelieving Israel and seek her to repent to the saving knowledge of the Lamb of God via His Two Witnesses (Ex. 19:5, Job 1:6-12, Psalm 75:6-7, 103:19, Dan. 2:37, 4:17, 25, 32, 5:21, Zech. 3:2, Matt. 28:18-20, Rom. 13:1-5, 1 Peter 5:11, Rev. 4, Rev. 5, Rev. 6:1, 17:17). It will be during this time that Israeli hating nations, their possessions of GREAT weapons of mass destruction, their super abounding technological advances and Satan's 24/7/365 media machine cannot over ride nor tear down Almighty God's Divine hedge of protection for Israel while the Two Witnesses' ministry is reigning supreme (Rev. 11:3-6). It will be under the Divine protective hedge of Almighty God's Two Witnesses that Israel will thrive (Ezek. 38:10-13) while the gentile nations and world are absolutely ravished by the Seal and Trumpet Judgments (Matt 24:4-8, Mark 13:5-8, Luke 21:8-11, Rev. 6-9). All these EXPONENTIAL evils upon the gentile nations in the first half of the seven year tribulation period are called the birth pangs by Jesus and he mentions to Israelis who dwell in TOTAL security at this time that they will "hear" of these horrific events but the end is not yet (Matt. 24:6, Mark 13:7, Luke 21:7)! However, what is most horrifically tragic at this time will be Israel's heart while under Almighty God's Divine protective hedge. Tragically the overwhelming majority of Jews WILL REJECT the Two Witnesses' (Moses and Elijah) Divine call to repentance unto Yeshua, the Lamb of God, Savior and Messiah, the King of Israel (Deut. 4:30, 31:29, Ezek. 39:26, Rev. 11:8, 12:17). The heart of Jerusalem at the end of the Two Witnesses' 1260 day ministry will be totally exposed and identified as rebellious, hard hearted, unrepentant and described as spiritual Sodom and Egypt (Rev. 11:8); now totally ready and ripe for Almighty God's Divine judgment and the prophetic fulfillment of Jacob's Trouble (Deut. 4:30, 31:29, Jer. 30:18, Ezek 39:26, Dan. 9:27, 11: 45, 12:1, 11, Zech 13:8-9, 14:1-2, Matt. 24:15-19, Mark 13:14-19, Luke 21:20-24, Rev. 12, Rev. 13).. The same Bible text also points out that this same city when Almighty God sent His own people His dearly beloved Son, crucified Him and rejected Him; Who was their Messiah, Savior and King and - i.e. the ETERNAL Son of Almighty God (Isa. 52:13-15, 53, Matt. 21:33-45, 23:37-39, 27: 24-25, 27:1-54, Luke:13:33, John 1:10-12). Just with that perspective given by the Holy Spirit we can totally see that under the Two Witnesses' (i.e. God's Candlesticks) ministry that they will find GREAT hostility by Israeli leadership and the people of the land as the Messiah did who is the TRUE Light of the world when He came to Israel 2000 years ago (Matt. 12:39, 27:1825, Acts 2:22-36). It will be at the end of the Two Witnesses 1260 day ministry that the unbelieving masses of Jews will side with the Beast and partake in his false victory over these Two Messengers (Rev. 11:7-13). He will be received as a great liberator but little does godless Israel know that Almighty God's protective hedge is now removed and like Samson of old (Judges 16:20) they are now open for Satan's Beast to decimate Israel and bring about the HORRIFIC time of Jacob's trouble spoken of by the prophets and the risen King of Israel (Deut. 4:30, 31:29, Jer. 30:18, Ezek 39:26, Dan. 9:27, 11: 45, 12:1, 11, Zech 13:8-9, 14:1-2, Matt. 24:15-19, Mark 13:14-19, Luke 21:20-24, Rev. 12, Rev. 13). It will be Israel's unrepentant heart and hostility against Almighty God's SUPER ABOUNDING mercy and grace (Ezek. 39:26, Matt. 22:1-13, 24:51, Luke 14:15-27, Rev. 11:8) that will then allow and open the HORRIFIC door of GREAT tribulation and Jacob's trouble (Jer. 30:18, Ezek 39:26, Dan. 9:27, 11: 45, 12:1, 11, Zech. 13:8-9, 14:1-2, Matt. 24:15-19, Mark 13:14-19, Luke 21:2024, Rev. 12, Rev. 13). It will be after the death, resuscitation and ascension of the Two Witnesses of Almighty God that Almighty God's Divine hedge protecting Israel will be removed and GREAT HORRIFIC persecution (Demonic and human) will now take place against her (Jer. 30:1-8, Dan. 12:1, Zech. 13:8-9, 14:-2, Matt. 24:15-22, Mark 13:14-20, Luke 21:20-24, Rev. 12:12-17). The resuscitation and ascension of Almighty God's Two Witnesses before a globally ravished - gleeful, demonically driven, godless world and Israel (Rev. 11:7-12) will validate without a shadow of doubt ALL of their Divine words of TRUTH from their 1260 day ministry and ETERNALLY confirm that indeed, "The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall REIGN for EVER and EVER - Rev. 11:15"! All of the Two Witnesses Words have now been absolutely validated and WILL come to pass and no godless world, the beast or Satan himself can and will EVER stop Messiah's coming reign and their ETERNAL demise (2 Thess. 2:8-12, Rev. 14:9-11, Rev. 19:11-21)! It will be NOW during this last EXPONENTIALLY HORRIFIC "time, times and half a time/forty two months/1260 days (Dan.12:7, Rev. 12:14, Rev. 13:5) that Satan, his beast and the nations of the world will seek the absolute eradication of Israel, but most specifically the remnant of Israel and gentile converts who have received the Messiah under the Two Witnesses ministry (Jer. 30:4-8, Dan. 12:1,7, Zech. 13:8-9, 14:1-2, Matt. 24:15-22, Rev. 7, Rev. 14, Rev. 12:517). Israel, because of their FULL rejection of the POWERFUL ministry of Israel's Moses and Elijah (Almighty God's Two Witnesses) will be now given over to GREAT TRIBULATION and to their reprobate mind (Deut. 4:30, Jer. 30:4-7, Ezek. 39:26, Dan. 9:27, 12:1, Rom. 1:18-32, Rev. 11:2, 8)! During this post Two Witness world, the forty two month Satanic global reign of terror against Israel and the redeemed of the nations will be HORRIFIC (Jer. 30:4-7, Zech. 14:1-2, Matt. 24:9-22, Rev. 11:2, 12:13-17)! These forty two months will seem like decades as Israelis seek to survive this HORRIFIC global purge. For those who were able to flee to the wilderness, they will be SUPER NATURALLY protected and nourished for this time (Rev. 12:14). It will be during this time of Divine protection (Rev. 12:13-17) that those who are Israel's remnant at this place of protection will be nourished in the TRUTHS they have heard from the Two Witnesses of Almighty God and consider their words and ministry. However it will not be until those who are left of the nation Israel see the second Coming of the Messiah from Heaven's glory that they will NOW truly comprehend ALL the words of Almighty God's Two Witnesses and then with GREAT contrition, repentance and weeping receive Him as their Lamb, Savior and King (Isa. 45:17, 59:20, Jer. 30:4-8, 31:33, Dan. 2:43-44, 7:13-1, Joel 2:32, Zech. 12:10-14, 13:8-9, Mal. 4:4-6, Matt. 17:11, 23:39, 26:63-64, Mark 9:12, 14:62, Rom. 11:26, Rev. 1:7, 19:11-21). My dear friends in conclusion we have tried to point out through many Bible verses that the Two Witnesses (who are Moses and Elijah) are absolute crucial in understanding end time prophecy. Leave these Two out and many prophetic theories will collapse including Daniel 9:27. The seven year tribulation is all about Almighty God dealing with Israel (Dan. 9) and restoring that nation to their Divine purpose and covenant promises Almighty God made with their Fathers (Abraham, Isaac and Jacob/Israel). It will be these Two Witnesses who arrive after the Rapture of the Body of Christ, that will be used greatly by the ETERNAL Holy Spirit of Almighty God to tell an EXPONENTIAL godless, technological and lawless world that the Day of the Lord is now here and the Kingdom of Heaven is indeed at hand! (Zech. 4:1-6, John 16:8-12, Rev. 11:4) The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand! With or without a nuclear deal, Hezbollah's Iranian missiles threaten Tel Aviv http://www.debka.com/article/24786/News-flash-for-Obama-With-or-without-anuclear-deal-Hizballah's-Iranian-missiles-threaten-Tel-Aviv President Barack Obama missed the point when he warned the 22 Jewish leaders he invited to the White House Tuesday, Aug. 3, that if Congress strikes down the Iranian nuclear deal, ..."Hezbollah rockets will rain down on Tell Aviv" - not on New York - and that Iran would... "arm and land proxies on Israel's borders." Both these menaces have been fully active for years, and never related to any kind of nuclear diplomacy. For nine years, from the 2006 Lebanese war and up to the July 2014 Gaza operation, missiles and rockets supplied by Iran have repeatedly rained down on Israeli population centers. As time went by, the missiles became more precise and sophisticated. Terrorist attacks staged by Hezbollah at Tehran's behest are not unknown either. Therefore, Obama's warning to the Jewish leaders does not stand up to the test of logic or reliable intelligence. Furthermore, as the president spoke, the contention that the nuclear accord will keep Israel and the Middle East at large safe, including from the danger of missiles, was belied. debkafile's military sources report that, at that very moment on Aug. 3, Hezbollah units under the command of Iranian officers were firing heavy Iranian Zelzal 3 surface missiles at Syrian rebels barricaded for more than a month in the Syrian town of Zabadani, just 200km from Tel Aviv and even less, 140km, from Israel's heavy industrial town of Haifa. Zelzal, a proud product of Iran's munitions industry, has an optimal range of 200km, which can be extended to 250km, by reducing its payload from 600 to 500 kg. Israel is familiar with the deadly capabilities of the Zelzal, because it was fired by Hamas on Nov. 20, 2012 the last day of the last Gaza operation. It exploded and razed a whole built-up street in Rishon Letzion, a town situated 14 km south of Tel Aviv and 9.3 km from Israel's only international airport at Lod. On Jan 18, this year, Israel's air force struck a group of Iranian Revolutionary Guards and Hezbollah officers as they prepared to set up military quarters and missile pads on the Syrian Golan within shouting distance of IDF border defenses. The above partial catalogue of Iranian and Hezbollah aggression was perpetrated alongside negotiations in Geneva and Vienna for a comprehensive nuclear accord with Tehran. It is therefore obvious that Israel faces an Iranian-Hezbollah missile threat today, as it did yesterday, and probably also tomorrow, regardless of whether the US Congress endorses or throws out President Obama's nuclear deal with Tehran. He might have made a difference to this grim reality if US negotiators had stipulated that the deal include the lifting of the Iranian missile peril hanging over Israel and that Tehran's waive its standing threat to destroy the Jewish state. But as things stand now, this particular argument in support of his nuclear deal with Iran is an irrelevancy. Netanyahu: Iran deal will bring war, 'nightmare' atomic arms race - By Elie Leshem - http://www.timesofisrael.com/netanyahu-nightmare-irandeal-will-bring-war-atomic-arms-race/ In video talk to American Jews, PM accuses accord's supporters of trying to 'stifle debate,' says alternative is to 'increase sanctions' The world powers' nuclear deal with Iran will lead to war and a "nightmare" regional nuclear arms race, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned in an online address to American and Canadian Jews on Tuesday evening. Netanyahu, who has been seeking to sway US lawmakers to thwart the agreement, accused the deal's supporters in the Obama administration of spreading "disinformation about the deal and about Israel's position" in its bid to rally support. He pointed out a series of "fatal flaws" in the deal, and asserted that it "doesn't block Iran's path to bomb," but rather "paves" its path to the bomb. The agreement, a legacy foreign policy project of US President Barack Obama, gives Iran "two paths to the bomb," enabling Tehran to obtain a weapon either by keeping the deal and waiting for it to elapse, or by violating it, Netanyahu warned. The Conference of Presidents and Jewish Federations in the US and Canada had encouraged viewers of Netanyahu's address to join the call through computers and cellphones as well as through group viewings at Jewish institutions. During his brief address Tuesday, the prime minister responded to several questions that had been sent in in advance. One of the questions related to Israel's alternative to the nuclear deal - the administration has insisted that there is no viable alternative to the deal, and that opponents had no solution to offer other than war. "Increase the sanctions, increase the pressure," Netanyahu said, in presenting his alternative to the deal, asserting that Iran would not back away from the negotiating table, even if subjected to harsher sanctions, and would abide more stringent curbs on its nuclear program. He argued that the opposition to the deal across the Israeli political spectrum was indicative of the "dangerous" nature of the agreement. "A huge majority of Israelis" oppose it, he said, claiming that since it is not a partisan issue in Israel, it shouldn't be a partisan issue in the US either. "Rise above partisan politics," he urged. "Judge [the deal] on substance, and on substance alone." "Oppose this dangerous deal," he implored. Netanyahu accused supporters of the deal of trying to "stifle debate" and said they have been misrepresenting the agreement in order to win support. "This deal will bring war," he warned. "Iran can keep the deal or Iran can cheat on the deal," Either way, it will have the bomb, Netanyahu said, before adding, "hundreds of bombs." Furthermore, he said, addressing the audience, Iran has been building intercontinental ballistic missiles in order "to hit you," not Israel. He also predicted a nuclear arms race in the Middle East - "the most volatile part of the planet" - in the wake of the deal. "That's a real nightmare," Netanyahu added. "Here's the bottom line," he said. "Oppose this bad deal." The American Jewish community is seen as a key barometer for the fate of the deal, as Congress enjoys a 60-day review period of the agreement, before a crucial vote on a resolution of disapproval or approval in September. A number of Jewish organizations have called on members to lobby their representatives to oppose the agreement, which critics say does not prevent Tehran from becoming a nuclear power in the long-term. Other organizations, like the American Jewish Committee, say that they are still reviewing the details of the agreement, and have yet to determine an official stance on it. J Street has been at the vanguard of the deal's advocates, quickly announcing its support for the agreement and arguing that it presents the best opportunity to rein in Iran's spinning centrifuges. The lefty lobbying organization was one of the participants in a recent conference call with Obama, during which the president warned against the power of mega-donors who opposed the deal, and called on supporters to speak up in support of the agreement. In Obama's Washington it is now open season on Israel and its supporters - By Caroline B. Glick http://www.jewishworldreview.com/0815/glick080515.php3 It was obvious the fight over President Barack Obama's nuclear deal with Iran would get very ugly, very quickly. And so it has. It was obvious that it would be ugly because the fight over Obama's appeasement policy toward Iran has been going on since he took office sixand-a-half years ago. And it has always been ugly. Every time Obama has sided with the mullahs against domestic opponents he has played the Jew card in one way or another. He has blown more antiSemitic dog whistles than many in Washington even realized existed. Now the stakes are far higher than a mere sanctions bill. Obama has gotten his deal with Iran. And he'll be damned if he allows it to go down. So it is open season on Israel and its supporters. Secretary of State John Kerry made this clear two weeks ago when he said it will be Israel's fault if the deal goes down. Since the administration threatens that torpedoing the deal will cause war, Kerry is threatening that the administration will blame Israel if war breaks out. As for Obama, in his conference call with leftist supporters last Thursday, he attacked AIPAC and the other Jewish organizations for daring to lobby Congress to vote against removing US sanctions from Iran and conflated their opposition to the deal with Jewish Republicans' support for the invasion of Iraq. In the president's words, opposition to his deal comes "partly from the $20 million that's being spent lobbying against the bill," and "partly from the same columnists and former administration officials that were responsible for getting us into the Iraq war." One of the ironic things about this statement is that while AIPAC studiously avoided taking a position on the Iraq war, (while both of Obama's secretaries of state and his vice president supported it), two years ago Obama strongarmed AIPAC - against the wishes of its members - to lobby Congress to support his plan to bomb regime targets in Syria. He then left AIPAC high and dry, with its credibility in tatters, when he changed his mind at the last minute and did nothing. Moreover, Obama's in-house Jewish organizations - J Street and the National Jewish Democratic Council - are spending millions of dollars lobbying Congressional Democrats to support the deal. But irony is not the point. The point is demonization. By casting aspersions on the motives and character of his opponents Obama seeks to end debate on the merits of his plan in order to force Democrats to support it. And he will need to end that debate quickly. The longer it goes on, the less the public likes his deal. A Quinnipiac University poll published this week showed that the US public opposes the deal nearly two to one. Although other polls carried out by The Wall Street Journal and CNN indicate near parity between supporters and opponents of the deal, the trend seems to favor opponents of the deal. And some Democrats - including Senator Chuck Schumer - are reportedly beginning to feel the heat. For Obama to end this debate he needs to make this a popularity contest. And the only nemesis big enough to block debate as far as Obama is concerned in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. As Obama apparently sees things, if he can secure Democratic support for himself against Netanyahu, then his firewall against Democratic abandonment is safe. Obama has a problem though. In Israel, this isn't about Netanyahu. Whereas Americans oppose Obama's deal two to one, according to a New Wave poll taken for Israel Hayom, three-quarters of Israeli Jews support Netanyahu's vocal opposition to the deal and want him to keep it up. Only 15 percent believe he should stop voicing opposition to the deal. Similarly, 73% of Israelis believe Obama is not attending to Israel's interests. In an attempt to neutralize the inconvenient fact that there is no significant Israeli support for the agreement, the administration has seized upon the small group of retired generals from the IDF, Shin Bet (Israeli Security Agency) and Mossad who have spoken out against Netanyahu's opposition to the deal. According to J Street, these men will play a key role in the effort to secure the support of Congressional Democrats. Some of these retired security brass are radicals with records of politicized service. Retired Lt. Col. Uzi Even, who wrote an op-ed in support of the deal last week, compromised Israel's bombing raid on Saddam Hussein's nuclear reactor at Osirak in 1981 when he leaked the planned operation to then opposition leader Shimon Peres. In recent years Even, who served in high-level positions in Israel's nuclear program, called for the closure of the Dimona nuclear facility. He also served as a member of Knesset for the radical Left Meretz Party for a year or so. To refer to his positions as fringe is an understatement. Most of the generals who oppose public opposition to the deal and support its promise to keep Iran's nuclear ambitions at bay for a decade or more, like former Shin Bet directors Ami Ayalon and Carmi Gillon, have no expertise in nuclear issues. So their opinion holds no more validity than that of the average man on the street. Many of the generals that have been cast as supporters of the deal by Obama's defenders have actually not supported the deal. They have simply claimed that Israel lacks the means to cancel it and that we need to learn to live with it. Among these voices are former OC Military Intelligence and current Labor Party member Amos Yadlin and former OC Operations Yisrael Ziv. This view is apparently making headway among some Democratic lawmakers. In an interview explaining his decision to support the deal, Democratic Congressman Adam Schiff from California channeled Yadlin and Ziv's position. The only problem is that whereas Yadlin and Ziv are powerless to block the US from implementing the nuclear deal as currently negotiated, Schiff has significant power to do so. By voting down the deal he can force the administration to return to the negotiating table and bring back a better deal. It is still unknown whether the administration played a direct role in organizing the retired generals to support it against three quarters of the public. But over past few years, the Obama administration has aggressively sought to subvert Israel's security establishment. The goal has always been to mobilize a significant number of retired generals to side with the administration against the elected government. Two years ago former OC Central Command Maj. Gen. Avi Mizrachi revealed that the State Department had hired retired Israeli generals, led by his predecessor in Central Command Gadi Shamni, to lobby the Israeli public to support an Israeli surrender of the Jordan Valley. Both the government and the public opposed such a withdrawal. It is possible that some of the generals who oppose Netanyahu's handling of the Iran dispute with the administration are convinced by the merits of the administration's talking points. It is possible that they simply don't like Netanyahu and want to weaken him. But the fact is that whatever their motivations and regardless of whether or not they are being paid for their statements, these men represent a fringe opinion both among the general population in Israel and among the security establishment. Whatever their intentions may be, these retired generals are helping Obama get Congress to sign a deal that threatens far more than Israel. This deal, which guarantees Iran a nuclear arsenal in 10-15 years and permits it to purchase and develop intercontinental ballistic missiles, will enable Iran to develop the means to achieve its highest goal - the destruction of America. This is the substance of the deal. This is why Americans oppose it. And this is why Democratic lawmakers must also oppose it. For Netanyahu, as for the three quarters of Israelis who support him, opposition to the deal is not the consequence of ill will toward Obama. This isn't personal. Netanyahu opposes this deal because it is disastrous for Israel. The more Americans know about the deal, the more they will be convinced that it is a disaster for their country as well. It is a shame that some Israelis are helping Obama to hide the truth from them.

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 sevenyear 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.

The safest place to be will be Jerusalem which, as the place from which the whole earth was formed, will remain stationary." (Zechariah 13.10-11) Extreme weather is everywhere, but perhaps nowhere more dramatically than the scorching heat recently reported over Iran, where the heat index has been as high as 164 F (73C). Similar temperatures are being recorded in Iraq. Where do we find this extreme weather in Biblical prophecy? In the tiny, three chapter long Book of Malachi, we find a clear reference "to a day that will burn like a furnace." (Malachi 3:19) In a recent blog post, Rabbi Lazer Brody, popular Israeli author and lecturer, reminded his readers of the prediction of Jewish sages that, as redemption gets closer, "God will remove the sun from its covering. The righteous shall heal in its heat but the wicked shall be doomed in it." Iran and Iraq are far from alone in experiencing tumultuous weather events in recent months. A recent YouTube video compiling news sources of the sudden extreme weather around the world only highlights further the international apocalyptic- type weather currently taking place. News clips of deadly floods in the Midwestern US, wildfires in California and Saskatchewan, blazing temperatures in Tennessee and Indiana, clusters of earthquakes in Alaska, threatened eruptions of Mexico's Volcano of Fire and much more illustrate the unprecedented meteorological occurrences. On July 15, 2015, Fox News's Shepard Smith reported on a new study that predicts that Oregon, Washington, and parts of Northern California are way overdue for an intense, margin rupture earthquake. The predicted 9.2 and subsequent tsunami could, according to the Federal government, cost as many as 13,000 lives in the Pacific Northwest. On July 27, 2015, thunder and lightning over Moscow was so severe, at least one news report called it "apocalyptic". On that one day, Moscow received over 40 percent of the rainfall it typically gets in an entire month. The Science Alert website, which reports on science news, recently published a prediction that, based on the sun's solar cycles, the entire earth could experience a second ice age within 15 years. Have our prophets warned us about this pattern of extreme weather events? The End of Times blogger known as Tomer Devorah lists close to 20 Biblical sources of dramatic changes in the earth that have been prophesied since ancient times. Rabbi Nir Ben Artzi, a mystical rabbi from southern Israel who publishes a weekly column about world events, connects all these news stories about extreme weather to the coming redemption. In nearly every weekly message, he warns that God is demonstrating His mastery over nature. "The forces of nature: Every place with evil will go up in flames; there will be earthquakes, floods, winds, storms and volcanic eruptions," Artzi explained. "God is thinning out the impurities in the world and burning them." Barack Obama, Planned Parenthood And The Demonic Population Control Agenda Of The New World Order - By Michael Snyder http://endoftheamericandream.com/archives/barack-obama-planned-parenthood-and-thedemonic-population-control-agenda-of-the-new-world-order Did you know that Planned Parenthood gets more than half a billion dollars from the federal government every single year? Did you know that the Obama administration gives an additional 35 million dollars each year to the United Nations Population Fund to promote abortion and sterilization around the globe? And did you know that the radical new sustainable development agenda that is being launched by the United Nations in September includes a goal of providing access to abortion services to every single woman on the entire planet by the year 2030? The things that you are going to read about in this article are very disturbing. The demonic population control agenda of the New World Order is greatly advancing, and Barack Obama and the U.S. government are at the tip of the spear. No matter which political party has been in power, the U.S. government has been giving hundreds of millions of dollars to Planned Parenthood year in and year out. They just kept on doing this even though they knew that Planned Parenthood was harvesting body parts from aborted babies and selling them to medical researchers to be used in sick and twisted experiments. It was common knowledge that this was happening in the abortion industry, but nobody was really talking about it. Thankfully, a series of undercover videos has been released recently which has caused this horrific practice to make headlines all over the planet. Just this week, a fifth video was released. This one actually shows a Planned Parenthood official discussing the sale of "intact fetal cadavers"... "So, if we alter our process and we are able to obtain intact fetal cadavers, then we can make it part of the budget that any dissections are this, and splitting the specimens into different shipments is this," she says, adding "I mean that's - it's all just a matter of line items." You can watch the entire video right here. It is hard to even fathom that people could be so evil. We are talking about a level of depravity along the lines of a Josef Mengele. Now it is all out in the open, and most Americans don't seem too concerned about it. Barack Obama has already pledged to stop all attempts to defund Planned Parenthood, and he is very proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with them. The following is an excerpt from a speech that Obama delivered to Planned Parenthood in 2013... "That's why no matter how great the challenge, no matter how fierce the opposition, there's one thing the past few years have shown," Obama said. "It's that Planned Parenthood isn't going anywhere." "It's not going anywhere today, it's not going anywhere tomorrow," Obama said. Barack Obama is also very committed to advancing the population control agenda of the United Nations. As I mentioned above, the United Nations is launching the 2030 Agenda For Sustainable Development in September. The Pope is actually traveling to New York to deliver the speech that will kick off the conference where this agenda will be publicly unveiled. But what most people don't realize is that population control is at the very core of this new agenda. According to the finalized text of this new agenda, the UN is setting a goal of making abortion services available to every woman on the entire planet by the year 2030. The following comes from the official text of the 2030 Agenda For Sustainable Developmentest... We are committed to ensuring universal access to sexual and reproductive health-care services, including for family planning, information and education. And of course the UN has already been working hard to promote population control all over the world for many, many years. For fiscal year 2015, the U.S. Congress approved 35 million dollars in funding for the UN population fund. This is an organization that has been caught redhanded implementing some absolutely horrific population control measures all over the world. For instance, just check out what happened in our neighbor to the south... An independent investigation has found that the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), in its association with the National Population Council of Mexico (CONAPO), supports involuntary sterilization and coercive family planning in Mexico. According to Mexico's National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), which recently denounced coercion in family planning programs throughout Mexico, "Public health servants have imposed methods of family planning on the native population without their consent and without informing them of the risks." Threats and bribes are used to deprive men and women of their right to determine for themselves the timing and spacing of pregnancies. It has also been found that CONAPO has established national quotas (for family planning users) which are fulfilled by regional hospitals and by teams of local family planning workers. CONAPO's coercive family planning program, which involves forced sterilization, is heavily supported by UNFPA with financial, strategic, technical and medical support. In its fourth cycle of assistance with Mexico, UNFPA is scheduled to provide $12 million for population control over the next five years. Over 40 case studies of victims were obtained in Mexico this summer, noting the following abuses: covert abortion under the guise of "normalization of menstruation"; clandestine placement of IUDs, and involuntary signing of "informed consent" documents in order to sterilize victim. In one alarming case, a woman testified that, while undergoing a caesarian delivery, her fallopian tubes were ligated (tied) without her foreknowledge or consent. The UN Population Fund has been caught doing similar things in Peru, in China and elsewhere. In India, "health officials" were even offering motorcycles, televisions and new cars to women in an attempt to get them sterilized. And if you don't think that this will ever come to the United States, you are sadly mistaken. Barack Obama's top science adviser, John P. Holdren, believes that implanting sterilization capsules under the skin of American women could be an effective way of stabilizing the size of the population in the United States... A program of sterilizing women after their second or third child, despite the relatively greater difficulty of the operation than vasectomy, might be easier to implement than trying to sterilize men. The development of a long-term sterilizing capsule that could be implanted under the skin and removed when pregnancy is desired opens additional possibilities for coercive fertility control. The capsule could be implanted at puberty and might be removable, with official permission, for a limited number of births. If that sounds evil to you, that is because it is evil. And did you know that the federal government actually has an "Office of Population Affairs"? Most Americans have never heard of it, but it actually exists. On the website of the Office of Population Affairs, you can find information about abortion, female sterilization, male sterilization and a vast array of contraceptive choices. Most Americans also do not know that sterilization will not cost women a single penny under Obamacare. A new regulation that recently went into effect requires that all health plans must fully cover sterilization for all women with "reproductive capacity". Why would Obama want this? It is because he is fully committed to promoting the demonic population control agenda of the New World Order. For much more on how obsessed the global elite are with "overpopulation", please see my previous article entitled "46 Population Control Quotes That Show How Badly The Elite Want To Wipe Us All Out". The global elite want all of us to believe that climate change is the greatest threat that humanity is facing, and that one of the best things that we can do to fight climate change is to reduce population growth. Each one of us has a "carbon footprint", and so in their view the less of us that are running around the better. Ultimately, they would like to stabilize the size of the human population of the planet at around 500 million people. That would mean a reduction of more than 90 percent from the current level. This is something that the global elite talk about and write about all the time, and nobody should underestimate their sick obsession with "saving the planet". So precisely how will they achieve their goal of getting rid of so many of us? Daily Jot: Seeking truth in Middle East policy - Bill Wilson www.dailyjot.com From the beginning of this Administration, America was on a track to elevate Islam over Israel and that is why we are having the debate on Iran. On June 4, 2009, during his landmark outreach speech to Islam, the US "president" compared with moral equivalency the holocaust where six million Jews were systematically executed with the plight of the Palestinian people who were allegedly displaced by the establishment of Israel. He said, "Threatening Israel with destruction - or repeating vile stereotypes about Jews - is deeply wrong. . . preventing the peace that the people of this region deserve. On the other hand, it is also undeniable that the Palestinian people - Muslims and Christians - have suffered in pursuit of a homeland." His use of the "on the other hand" phrase equates what the Jews suffered at the hands of Hitler with giving "Palestinians" a state of their own. He said, "But if we see this conflict only from one side or the other, then we will be blind to the truth: the only resolution is for the aspirations of both sides to be met through two states, where Israelis and Palestinians each live in peace and security." He speaks of truth throughout his Palestinian presentation, but never mentions terrorism, counting it as mere "violence" and saying, "It's a story with a simple truth: that violence is a dead end. . .That is not how moral authority is claimed; that is how it is surrendered." The "president's" truth is based on a historic lie. The real truth is that Israel has sought to live in peace since it was reestablished as a state in 1948. It is the Islamists who have prevented peace-first by conducting three wars against Israel where it was said by the Islamic leaders that the desert will be flooded with the blood of the Jews, then by terrorists acts of the Palestinians. There is no moral equivalency in defending oneself as a nation and murdering the innocent because of the existence of that nation. Yet in his speech, he ceded this moral equivalency as the new American beginning with Islam. He equated terrorism with the right to exist as a legitimate state and said that if one looks at the issue from one side, he is missing the truth. The truth is that the Palestinian Liberation Organization, now the Palestinian Authority, and Hamas are terrorist organizations elected by the Palestinians. Their sole purpose is the annihilation of Israel. Equating terrorists groups with Israel to establish a new truth is immoral. The truth is that Americans better be on their knees in repentance and prayer because the actions of the White House against Israel will surely bring God's wrath upon this nation. In Zechariah 12:3 , the Lord says, "And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it." Daily Devotion: Kept by His Power - Greg Laurie - www.harvest.org I will lift up my eyes to the hills--from whence comes my help? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth. -Psalm 121:1-2 God wants us to be constantly reassured that He will keep us. We need this reassurance in such an evil and uncertain world because we worry about safety and security for ourselves and our families. And sometimes believers even wonder about their personal salvation. Even mature believers may have times of doubt when they wonder whether they are saved. We need to remember that even great men of God had moments of doubt. Elijah had his moments of doubt. Even John the Baptist had moments of doubt. According to Jesus, John was the greatest of the Old Testament prophets. Yet after Jesus started His public ministry, John sent a message to Him asking, "Are You the Coming One, or do we look for another?" (Luke 7:19). But Jesus didn't rebuke John; He reassured him. In times of doubt, here is what you need to know: God is going to keep you. Psalm 121 says, "My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth. He will not allow your foot to be moved; He who keeps you will not slumber" (verses 2-3). The Hebrew word used in Psalm 121 for keep means to be watched, to be guarded, to have a hedge around you. It is having a wall around you that is impenetrable. God will keep us, and the Devil cannot scale or penetrate that wall. We are reminded in 2 Thessalonians 3:3, "But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one." And 1 Peter 1:5 tells us that we "are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time." Were it not for this protection of God, none of us would make it. But we are kept by His power.

"Folks, it's all beginning to unravel. America is in more danger of falling than at any time in its history. But I believe Bible prophecy predicts this very decline. From this point on, we believers have to get serious. We are going to face discouragement, disillusionment and, most certainly, persecution in the time between now and the Rapture. But don't be discouraged or disillusioned. The coming turmoil will provide us unrivaled opportunities to share the good news of the Gospel. So be ready to share your faith and your hope with those who need Christ. We still have time to reap a great harvest of souls for God's kingdom!" - Hal Lindsey 1) We need your prayers!- We proclaim the Truth of the Word of God and we are under constant spiritual and sometimes even physical attack. 2) We need your encouragement!- We need to hear from you, let us know how the Lord is blessing you through this ministry so that we can share it with others. 3) We need your input! - If you have a prophetic article or story or if there is a news related item we missed, let us know. 4) We need your financial support!- To put it quite simply, without your support, there would be no Prophecy Update.
