The Rapture is most likely the most misunderstood part of the book of revelation.
To help you understand it, we will walk through it and keep it in simple terms.
You have no doubt heard talk of the Rapture and Jesus’ Second Coming.
The Rapture and the Second Coming of Christ are two separate events.
Question : How can you tell that they are separate events?
Answer : No one knows the time of the Rapture and Christ meets his believers in the air he never comes to the ground.
1st Corinthians 15:51-52 [NIV}
Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed-- 52in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.
Revelation 3-10 {NIV}
Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come upon the whole world to test those who live on the earth.
John 14;1-3 [NIV]
"Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. 2In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. 3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.
1st Thessalonians 1:10 [NIV]
10and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead--Jesus, who rescues us from the coming wrath.
1st Thessalonians 4:16-17 [KJV]
16For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
By contrast the Second Coming CAN be timed out, by knowing that Jesus’ return is at the end of the seven year tribulation period that begins with the anti-christ making a 7 year peace treaty with Israel.
Daniel 9:27 {NIV}
27He will confirm a covenant with many for one `seven. In the middle of the `seven he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on a wing of the temple he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him.
He also returns to the Earth with his followers and defeats satan, the anti-christ ,and his false profit.
Revelation 19:1:Do through 20:6 {NIV}
11I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and makes war. 12His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. 13He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God. :Do4The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. 15Out of his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. "He will rule them with an iron scepter. He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. 16On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written:
KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.
Zechariah 3:3-4 {NIV}
3Then the LORD will go out and fight against those nations, as he fights in the day of battle. 4On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem, and the Mount of Olives will be split in two from east to west, forming a great valley, with half of the mountain moving north and half moving south.
The rapture is Gods get out of the terrible time of the anti-christ free card.
If you are what we call a saved born again Christian.
What does this mean?…….. Do I have to be a holy roller ?
No not at all .
All it means in SIMPLE words is that you believe Jesus who is the Christ { savior/messiah } the perfect son of God came to this world .
He was rejected and put to death, after 3 days he arose having paid for all sin, thus making it possible for all mankind to be redeemed through Jesus to God.
All You Need to be saved is to believe that Jesus died for you, and ask him to forgive you and to come into your heart.
This is the most important decision that you will ever make.
OK onto the actual event of the Rapture as for timing ,the lord comes as a thief in the night.
1 Thessalonians 5-2 {NIV}
2for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.
No one but the father {God} Knows the hour of the rapture but we have been given clues or signs to this event. { read the Bible, Daniel, Revelation, the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke , John }
Jesus comes in the air and with a trumpet call all of his believers are brought up to him .
First the bodies of those who have all ready died are raised, then, the living are caught/called up in the air as well .
1st Thessalonians 4:16-17 [KJV]
16For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
We are transformed into perfect ageless bodies, FOREVER.
Question :
What does it mean that the dead in Christ will rise first before the living are called up to join them?
Answer :
When a believer {saved } in Jesus dies his/her soul goes to heaven.
God creates everything in a real world sense and does not intend for you to exist as a spirit forever, so at Christ’s rapture trumpet call the dead are given back their body but in a perfect form.
Question:
What about children who have died, and children who are Raptured ?
Answer:
Everyone has memories from their youth, everyone has to grow and learn about right and wrong, good vs. evil.
So I think that a child who has passed early will get to grow up ,mature , and learn in heaven.
Imagine that, imagine who could be your tutor, ,friend, guardian so to speak.
Remember this is heaven, lets say that you are a parent who lost a child and you mourn because you did not get to raise him or her.
I think that you will be able to witness for yourself that child mature and grow up.
How you ask ? I think GOD will make it possible for you to see it happen.
Time is child's play to God.
OK, on the same train of thought if you are a parent or parents with a child and you are all raptured , and you wish to help that child grow up to their mature self { again perfect body }
I see no reason why God who entrusted you with this child in this evil world would not help you in his perfect heaven. { again these are my opinions, even if you disagree , I hope I have given you something to think about.}
Question:
What will we do ?
Answer :
We will each do the bidding and work of GOD in a manner that best suits each of our talents, and you will be HAPPY.
Sounds good but a little vague right ? Hey I’m just an average guy but I can come up with one of the endless possibilities.
You have probably heard of NASA’s Hubble telescope right ?
The best pictures are areas of space that are dark to the human eye.
The pictures are breathtaking in beauty, billions and billions of stars.
Lets say just for the sake of conversation, that each of those stars contained an average of just 2 planets, and God says, you help make each of these worlds perfect like my garden of Eden.
How long would that take ? FOREVER. And that is just one idea.
Question:
How long is forever ?
Answer:
I once read this somewhere :
If you added all the sand on planet earth, all the sand , beaches, deserts, even the sand in school yard playgrounds into one large pile.
Then once every ten thousand years a crow comes and removes one grain of sand.
How long it take’s that crow to remove all of the sand is not even the beginning of forever.
Question :
Do you really believe that when the dead in Christ are raised { their physical bodies } that their graves will be opened up. ?
Answer :
Yes I do, as we talked about earlier the dead in Christ who are in spirit form at this point, are to be reunited with their bodies in a perfect state.
When Jesus himself was raised after three days his grave was opened so he could come out.
Was this really necessary, In his case probable not, because several times Jesus appeared to his disciples unexpectedly just among them.
Now for Jesus, the open grave was proof to the world of him being the risen son of God.
So I think that the opening of the graves is Gods way of showing that salvation through Jesus ,
Is victory over death to the whole world.
The whole world will be in shock at the rapture many will see that it is the Christians that are gone. I bet in this whole wide world that of the untold thousands of graves that have opened People will notice a cross or a scripture or something etched on their markers, that also shows that this person was a Christian.
Matthew 28:2-7
There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. 3His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. 4The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men.
5The angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. 6He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. 7Then go quickly and tell his disciples: `He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.' Now I have told you."
Mark 16:14-16
14Later Jesus appeared to the Eleven as they were eating; he rebuked them for their lack of faith and their stubborn refusal to believe those who had seen him after he had risen.
15He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation. 16Whoever believes and is
baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.
I found this online at a Christian web-site in regard to the word rapture itself not appearing in the Bible.
For the record, the word "rapture" comes from the Latin word "rapturo," which in turn was a translation of the Greek verb "caught up" found in :Do Thes 4:17. You can call it the pre-trib rapture, the pre-trib rapturo, or the pre-trib caught up--it's all the same thing.
What happens after the rapture :
In the Eyes of the world the Rapture will be the largest most shocking event in history.
The only other event I can think of that had a similar impact would have to be Noah’s Flood.
Just as in the days of Noah only those who have listened to Gods will of salvation through Jesus Christ will be spared the trials of the tribulation.
Matthew 24:39-42 {NIV}
That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 40Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. 41Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left.
42"Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come.
Luke 17:34-35 {NIV}
34I tell you, on that night two people will be in one bed; one will be taken and the other left. 35Two women will be grinding grain together; one will be taken and the other left.
On Earth :
In SIMPLE words imagine the chaos that will follow the rapture, vehicles without a driver , machines unattended , public utilities down, police and fire who do not respond, rioting and looting, simple things like trash not being collected, things that people take for granted suddenly in the blink of an eye are all gone.
Yes the world will be in shock, and it will struggle to restore the convenient modern luxury’s.
Even as the world begins to rebuild, imagine the trouble the Rapture will cause to our already troubled economy .
When world wide thousands of mortgage and car payments and all manner of bills will go unpaid, and untold thousands do not show up for work.
I feel sorry for those who will know the truth, people who felt a stirring to believe and become saved and now realize the have waited to long and have been left behind.
They can still be saved, in fact many untold thousands will be saved in the last days, but in most cases before it is all over, they will pay with their lives.
Luke 17:33 {NIV}
33Whoever tries to keep his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life will preserve it.
Revelation 7:9 {NIV}
9After this I looked and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands.
Revelation 7:13 {NIV}
13Then one of the elders asked me, "These in white robes--who are they, and where did they come from?"
Revelation 7:14 {NIV}
14I answered, "Sir, you know."
And he said, "These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
Finally out of all of this comes the great LIE to explain away the rapture of the church.
Why ???
Because millions would rather believe in a lie than to admit to the truth of Christ.
2nd Thessalonians 2:11-12
. 11For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie 12and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.
Question : What does this mean?
Answer:
It means that the forces of this world possibly the anti-christ will try to explain the disappearance of thousands by a great lie.
Who knows what that lie will be ? Science , UFO’S, Radiation ,Remember we are talking about satan he might even say that the evil people have been removed…that would be a great lie.
Millions of people will believe the lie, even Paul warned of the strength of the lie.
The good news is that many people will also know the truth and not accept the lie, and the knowledge of the truth of the rapture will lead many to be saved.
You can see the division of the world begin at this point those who believe a false government lie or those who believe the truth of God and his son Jesus Christ.
Question :
Do you know what prevents satan from fully overrunning the earth and destroying all good in the world right now.
Answer :
It is the power of God ,what we refer to as the HOLY SPIRIT.
After the rapture with the church removed satans power will seem to greatly increase.
This is due to the fact that GOD removes his restrainer on Satan.
2nd Thessalonians 2:7-8
7For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way. 8And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming
Question: why is this allowed to happen?
Answer:
God allows this to happen because as much as he wants all of his children to be saved he knows that many will never accept him, in fact many rejoice in evil.
God is using this time of tribulation to separate good from evil, saved from lost.
Matthew 3:12
. 12His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor, gathering his wheat into the barn and burning up the chaff with unquenchable fire."
As It Is In Heaven :
Imagine that you are on your way to work thinking about what you need to get done that day.
When suddenly you can no longer hear the wind through your cracked open window ,and you reach for your radio dial because the song that was playing has gone silent.
You hear a loud Trumpet blare and then from nowhere and everywhere you here a loud booming voice " COME UP HERE ! ".
You are whisked up through your automobile flying fast and high, you see the ground growing distant below you. In your mind you think it is impossible that you did not feel an impact as you passed through the roof of your Pontiac. { Hey I like Pontiac’s }.
You realize that you are dressed in a white garment so white it almost hurts your eyes.
You also realize that your nagging backache that you woke up with today is gone.
That’s when you see him Jesus Christ, King of King’s, and Lord of Lord’s, waiting for YOU arms open. You begin to see multitudes of other believers , you feel drawn to others of your family both living and those long departed who were also believers in Christ.
This is only a few lines of one man’s idea of what the Rapture could be like.
THIS WILL NOT MEASURE UP TO THE REAL THING WHEN IT HAPPENS !!!
Question:
What happens to the people who were taken up by Jesus in the rapture?
Answer:
We have several Bible verse’s of Revelation that deal with the believers in Christ and what occurs in heaven before Jesus makes his Second Coming return at the conclusion of the Tribulation.
In heaven you will be happy and blessed to be with Jesus and all who have answered his call.
You will be happy to be reunited with friends and loved ones.
You always hear people say, when I get to heaven that I am going to ask God this and ask Jesus that.
All I think I could possible say is thank-you and that I’m sorry.
Now not for one second do you think that I am even going to try to describe heaven do you ?
All who are there in heaven are saved and will go through the judgment seat of Christ.
Sometimes you hear of this as the rewards judgment where each believers work is tested.
1st Corinthians 3:11-15
. 11For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12If any man builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, 13his work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each man's work. 14If what he has built survives, he will receive his reward. 15If it is burned up, he will suffer loss; he himself will be saved, but only as one escaping through the flames.
Romans 14:10-13 {NIV}
10You, then, why do you judge your brother? Or why do you look down on your brother? For we will all stand before God's judgment seat. 11It is written:
" `As surely as I live,' says the Lord,
`every knee will bow before me;
every tongue will confess to God.'
12So then, each of us will give an account of himself to God.
13Therefore let us stop passing judgment on one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in your brother's way.
1st Corinthians 4:5 {NIV}
5Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait till the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of men's hearts. At that time each will receive his praise from God.
Having concluded the trials everything is squared away so to speak, this is where you hear of Christians speaking of storing up treasure and crowns in heaven and not worrying about earthly goods.
Matthew 6;19-21 {NIV}
19"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
After the rewards judgment is complete you read of a ceremony in heaven called the wedding
And wedding supper of the lamb.
The Bride groom is Jesus Christ
The Bride are his believers.
Revelation 19: 7-9 {NIV}
7Let us rejoice and be glad
and give him glory!
For the wedding of the Lamb has come,
and his bride has made herself ready.
8Fine linen, bright and clean,
was given her to wear."
(Fine linen stands for the righteous acts of the saints.)
9Then the angel said to me, "Write: `Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb!' " And he added, "These are the true words of God."
I like to eat can you imagine what the food at CHRIST’S table could be like.
An undeniable work of god.
A MIRACLE.
Question:
What does this mean ?
Answer:
It means an event that nothing but an act of God alone can explain it.
Here is a prophecy of a future event that falls into this category.
Ezekiel
chapters 38 & 39 tell of a future war involving Israel { Gods
chosen people } against it’s surrounding Islamic neighbors backed up
with the full army of Russia.
Ezekiel 38: 1-9 {NIV}
1The
word of the LORD came to me: 2"Son of man, set your face against Gog,
of the land of Magog, the chief prince ofA Meshech and Tubal; prophesy
against him 3and say: `This is what the Sovereign LORD says: I am
against you, O Gog, chief prince ofB Meshech and Tubal. 4I will turn
you around, put hooks in your jaws and bring you out with your whole
army--your horses, your horsemen fully armed, and a great horde with
large and small shields, all of them brandishing their swords. 5Persia,
Cush and Put will be with them, all with shields and helmets, 6also
Gomer with all its troops, and Beth Togarmah from the far north with
all its troops--the many nations with you.
7" `Get ready; be
prepared, you and all the hordes gathered about you, and take command
of them. 8After many days you will be called to arms. In future years
you will invade a land that has recovered from war, whose people were
gathered from many nations to the mountains of Israel, which had long
been desolate. They had been brought out from the nations, and now all
of them live in safety. 9You and all your troops and the many nations
with you will go up, advancing like a storm; you will be like a cloud
covering the land.
In SIMPLE words GOD destroys them.
Ezekiel 38:18-23 {NIV}
18This
is what will happen in that day: When Gog attacks the land of Israel,
my hot anger will be aroused, declares the Sovereign LORD. 19In my zeal
and fiery wrath I declare that at that time there shall be a great
earthquake in the land of Israel. 20The fish of the sea, the birds of
the air, the beasts of the field, every creature that moves along the
ground, and all the people on the face of the earth will tremble at my
presence. The mountains will be overturned, the cliffs will crumble and
every wall will fall to the ground. 21I will summon a sword against Gog
on all my mountains, declares the Sovereign LORD. Every man's sword
will be against his brother. 22I will execute judgment upon him with
plague and bloodshed; I will pour down torrents of rain, hailstones and
burning sulfur on him and on his troops and on the many nations with
him. 23And so I will show my greatness and my holiness, and I will make
myself known in the sight of many nations. Then they will know that I
am the LORD.
The book of Joel also talks of this battle
Joel 2:20 {NIV}
20"I will drive the northern army far from you,
pushing it into a parched and barren land,
with its front columns going into the eastern sea
and those in the rear into the western sea.
And its stench will go up;
its smell will rise."
This is what GOD wants Israel and the world to know.
Joel 2:27 {NIV}
27Then you will know that I am in Israel,
that I am the LORD your God,
and that there is no other;
never again will my people be shamed.
Israel will be outnumbered countless times over and it looks as if nothing will stop her destruction.
God
himself in an undeniable miracle will destroy these army’s. by fire,
flooding rain, brimstone, earthquake, as well as some kind of mass
confusion due to Ezekiel 38 verse 21 that every man’s sword will be
against his brother
It is possible that this is the event that
allows the future anti-christ to make his 7 year peace plan with the
world and Israel. {This gains him prestige and power, as well as the
Worlds gratitude}
The one thing that sticks out in my mind in the
following verse is in the middle of this plan he breaks his word and
enters the temple in Jerusalem and sets himself up as god.
Which is the second and most IMPORTANT part to him, he wants to be worshiped as god.
The devil tried to do this before, when our Lord Jesus went into the desert to be tempted .
He was offered everything every kingdom of every age on earth if Jesus the Son of God would just bow down and worship him.
Luke 4:5-8 {NIV}
5The
devil led him up to a high place and showed him in an instant all the
kingdoms of the world. 6And he said to him, "I will give you all their
authority and splendor, for it has been given to me, and I can give it
to anyone I want to. 7So if you worship me, it will all be yours."
8Jesus answered, "It is written: `Worship the Lord your God and serve him only.
Question :
what
about the temple? It was destroyed just as Jesus said it would be,
today the muslim world controls part of the land on which it needs to
be built.
Answer:
I
believe it is possible that this is the carrot that the anti christ
will dangle before Israel in order to get them to sign the treaty. And
when GOD saves them in the battle or NON battle we just talked about
,Israel will be hungry to return to GOD.
Who else but someone with supernatural powers { evil in this case} could make REAL peace
between the Arab’s and Jewish people.
Daniel 9:27 {NIV}
.
27He will confirm a covenant with many for one `seven. In the middle of
the `seven' he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on a wing
of the temple he will set up an abomination that causes desolation,
until the end that is decreed is poured out on him.
Why is this
important ? This event sets in motion the last 7 years before Jesus
returns known as the Tribulation. { more on Tribulation later }.
Question:
What could cause this war in the first place?
Answer:
Several reasons come to mind each driven by pure hate of Israel by the Arab world.
1. The Rapture has happened and no-one stands in the way of the aggressors
2.
If you go by today’s headlines Israel may soon have to use a
pre-emptive strike on Iran and Syria to protect themselves from nuclear
or biological attack. {Isaiah chapter 17 states that Israel will
destroy the oldest city on Earth ,Damascus}.
Isaiah 17:1-3 {NIV}
1An oracle concerning Damascus:
"See, Damascus will no longer be a city
but will become a heap of ruins.
2The cities of Aroer will be deserted
and left to flocks, which will lie down,
with no one to make them afraid.
3The fortified city will disappear from Ephraim,
and royal power from Damascus;
the remnant of Aram will be
like the glory of the Israelites,"
declares the LORD Almighty.
3.
Greed, yes Greed Russia supply’s Europe with natural gas, also Iran
just signed a treaty with China to supply them natural gas
.
What does this have to do with anything you say?
In early 2009 off of the coast of Israel they found one of the largest natural gas deposits on Earth.
Any of these reasons could be a cause for war.
This is a news headline that I found on April 1st 2009 from the G20 summit.
I wish it was an April Fools Joke.
The
United States and Russia on Wednesday declared that Iran has a right to
pursue a civilian nuclear program, but warned that the country must
abide by an international treaty and prove that its contentious efforts
were of a "peaceful nature".
"While we recognize that under the NPT
[Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons] Iran has the right
to a civilian nuclear program, Iran needs to restore confidence in its
exclusively peaceful nature," U.S. President Barack Obama and Russian
President Dmitry Medvedev announced in a joint statement ahead of their
first sit-down.
Arab writers confirm that in the Arabic language their name for the Great Wall of China is called :
The
wall of Al Magog" because the Great Wall was built to keep out the
invading armies from Magog. All together an area of about 2,000 square
miles. So clearly this was the former Soviet Union, modern day Russia.
Iran officially the Islamic Republic of Iran and formerly known internationally as Persia until 1935,
The name Iran is a cognate of Aryan, and means "Land of the Aryans".
Here are a few news articles that pertain to this future miracle war.
MUSLIM
nations are giving Israel permission to move it’s military forces into
a possible position to launch a pre-emptive strike on Iran &
Syria. Why you ask ?? Because even though they hate Israel, they do
not trust or wish for Iran to assume total control of the middle east.
And if Israel does attack the world will respond in kind on Israel, a win-win situation for the involved nations.

Israel sends sub through Suez Canal
After
a long hiatus, the Israeli Navy has returned to sailing through the
Suez Canal, recently sending one of its advanced Dolphin-class
submarines through the waterway to participate in naval maneuvers off
the Eilat coast in the Red Sea.
IDF sources said the decision to
allow navy vessels to sail through the canal was made recently and was
a definite "change of policy" within the service. In 2005, then OC Navy
Adm. David Ben-Bashat decided to stop sending Israeli ships through the
canal due to growing threats in the area. { it was in fact 2 subs}

Israeli Warships Sail Through Suez Canal
by Hana Levi Julian
(IsraelNN.com)
Two Israeli warships reportedly passed through the Suez Canal Tuesday
in what is seen as an unusual show of cooperation between Egypt and the
Jewish State, according to Arab news media.
The report has not been
officially confirmed by the IDF. However, in what appeared to be
confirmation by Cairo, Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Ghet told
journalists that the crossings were legitimate in accordance with an
agreement between the countries.
{ it was 2 destroyers}

Smoking Gun Images Of Syria Nuke Reactor?
Video Made By U.S. Intelligence Claims N. Korea Secretly Helped Syria Build A Reactor, Which Was Nearly Operational
(CBS/AP)
The White House said Thursday that North Korea's secret work on a
nuclear reactor with Syria was "a dangerous and potentially
destabilizing development for the world," raising doubts about
Pyongyang's intention to carry through with a promised disclosure of
its nuclear activities.
Seven months after Israel bombed the
reactor, the White House broke its silence and said North Korea
assisted Syria's secret nuclear program and that the destroyed facility
was not intended for "peaceful purposes."
The Syrian nuclear reactor
destroyed by Israeli jets was within weeks or months of being
functional, a top U.S. official told The Associated Press, speaking on
condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter. The
official said the facility was mostly completed but still needed
significant testing before it could be declared operational.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Did you get that Syria was being assisted by North Korea?
Here is proof that Syria is rebuilding it’s nuclear weapon’s program near Damascus.

Syria plays down uranium find by UN nuclear agency
VIENNA
(AP) - Syria's nuclear chief is suggesting the U.N. nuclear agency's
discovery of new uranium traces in the country do not harden
allegations that Damascus has a hidden nuclear program.
Ibrahim
Othman's comments are the first from Syria about the International
Atomic Energy Agency's recent announcement that it found unexplained
traces of uranium at a Syrian site for the second time.
Othman played down the discovery Tuesday and described it as only "one particle or two particles."
The
IAEA has been investigating Syria since Israel bombed a Syrian site in
2007 that the U.S. says was a secret nuclear reactor built with North
Korean help.
The agency's 35-nation board is preparing to debate allegations that Damascus was running such a program.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I
know what you are thinking , you are not one bit surprised that Syria
is also trying to gain the bomb by rebuilding it’s nuclear program.
The
rules of the game have changed sense the last time Israel attacked,
they have a powerful new military ally and an attack on Syria is now an
attack on RUSSIA.

bases on Syrian soil as part of large arms deal between two countries.
Defense establishment officials fear Russian ships may try to spy on
Israel's weapon systems
According to the reports, Syria plans to let
Russia use its ports as part of the large arms deal signed between the
two countries in the past year.

'Russia, Iran to hold naval maneuver'
For
the first time, Russia and Iran will hold a joint naval maneuver in the
Caspian Sea, The Iranian Mehr News Agency reported Wednesday.
According to the report, the maneuver will include 30 Russian and Iranian ships, as well as helicopters.
Moscow
is building Iran's first nuclear power plant in Bushehr, has provided
Teheran with weapons and needs Iranian assistance on the Caspian Sea
and other regional issues.
Iran is paying Russia more than $1
billion (€630 million) to build the light-water reactor and has already
received several shipments of enriched uranium for its operation.
AP contributed to this report
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So
now it is official,for the first time in history an attack on Syria or
Iran is now an attack on Russia, do you have any doubt that both Iran
and Syria will be able to acquire nuclear weapons ?
Do not forget that both North Korea and Russia are already nuclear powers.
Here is what GOD says in a day Israel will do to Damascus Syria, the oldest city on Earth.
Isaiah 17:1-3 {NIV}
171An oracle concerning Damascus:
"See, Damascus will no longer be a city
but will become a heap of ruins.
2The cities of Aroer will be deserted
and left to flocks, which will lie down,
with no one to make them afraid.
3The fortified city will disappear from Ephraim,
and royal power from Damascus;
the remnant of Aram will be
like the glory of the Israelites,"
declares the LORD Almighty.
Lets
talk about those ships and subs Israel put through the Suez canal seems
like a small threat right ? Research of their warfare class reveals,
that they are all 4 nuclear armed.
Soon
Israel may be forced to use a preemptive strike to defend herself and
the Gog/MaGog war could be a real possibility and again only GOD will
be able to save them.
Ezekiel 38:1-3 {NIV}
381The word of the
LORD came to me: 2"Son of man, set your face against Gog, of the land
of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal; prophesy against him
3and say: `This is what the Sovereign LORD says: I am against you, O
Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal.
Gog & Magog = Russia and her neighbors north of the black sea.
Tubal = is believed to be the area of Georgia and it’s neighbors in eastern Europe.
Meshech = is Russia’s capitol city Moscow,& Moscow rules over Tubal.
Ezekiel 38: 5-6 {NIV}
.
5Persia, Cush and Put will be with them, all with shields and helmets,
6also Gomer with all its troops, and Beth Togarmah from the far north
with all its troops--the many nations with you.
Persia = Iran
Cush = Various nations of the east horn of Africa, Sudan, Somali, Ethiopia, Kenya, Etc.
Put = Libya
Gomer = Turkey
Beth Togarmah = Beth is Hebrew for place/house of, Togarmah ancient tribes of eastern Turkey, Armenia, Etc.
Information is from various Bible genealogy , Wikipedia ,& historical geography websites.
Ezekiel 38: 8-9 {NIV}
.
8After many days you will be called to arms. In future years you will
invade a land that has recovered from war, whose people were gathered
from many nations to the mountains of Israel, which had long been
desolate. They had been brought out from the nations, and now all of
them live in safety. 9You and all your troops and the many nations with
you will go up, advancing like a storm; you will be like a cloud
covering the land.
This is no doubt the modern day Jewish nation of Israel.
Astounding
because for almost 20 century’s they did not even exist, and they were
gathered in exactly the way this verse describes.
Only GODS predictions are 100 % accurate each and every time.
Ezekiel 39:14-16 {NIV}
14"Therefore,
son of man, prophesy and say to Gog: `This is what the Sovereign LORD
says: In that day, when my people Israel are living in safety, will you
not take notice of it? 15You will come from your place in the far
north, you and many nations with you, all of them riding on horses, a
great horde, a mighty army. 16You will advance against my people Israel
like a cloud that covers the land. In days to come, O Gog, I will bring
you against my land, so that the nations may know me when I show myself
holy through you before their eyes.
No one will stand with
Israel, It will seem hopeless, and an Old Testament style miracle will
save them. Also notice that GOD is in control of these events.
Ezekiel 39:18-23 {NIV}
.
18This is what will happen in that day: When Gog attacks the land of
Israel, my hot anger will be aroused, declares the Sovereign LORD. 19In
my zeal and fiery wrath I declare that at that time there shall be a
great earthquake in the land of Israel. 20The fish of the sea, the
birds of the air, the beasts of the field, every creature that moves
along the ground, and all the people on the face of the earth will
tremble at my presence. The mountains will be overturned, the cliffs
will crumble and every wall will fall to the ground. 21I will summon a
sword against Gog on all my mountains, declares the Sovereign LORD.
Every man's sword will be against his brother. 22I will execute
judgment upon him with plague and bloodshed; I will pour down torrents
of rain, hailstones and burning sulfur on him and on his troops and on
the many nations with him. 23And so I will show my greatness and my
holiness, and I will make myself known in the sight of many nations.
Then they will know that I am the LORD.'
They were both a threat to Israel’s existence, and in the way of future events.
GOD again proves to the world that he is in charge, to anyone who wishes to see the truth.
Question:
Did you know that the muslim koran also predicts this very war ?
I believe satan and his demonic fallen angels can also foresee to an extent future events.
It helps them to fool the world. { physic’s , fortune tellers,etc.}
And now today for the first time all of the people, nations & circumstances are in place.
By the way, the muslims teach that this is the conflict that brings their antichrist to power.
It is very possible that he could emerge as the great peacemaker here.
It
is ironic that any power that could have stood up as opposition to a
new world order of 10 kingdoms controlled by Europe are destroyed.
What
about us you say ? We are already well on our way to economic ruin,
and our political leadership are already leaning toward joining this
new world order.
In SIMPLE words we will not, as a nation be a threat to the antichrist Only Bible believing Christians will be.
It is now only a matter of time before this war and an Old Testament style
intervention from God will start the last days, and give rise to the great false peacemaker, the antichrist.
Are you Ready ?
Do you have the peace and security of eternity through Jesus Christ ?
Do you think that these events are going to wait on you ?
Can you tell me exactly how many days YOU have left ?
Jesus paid in full for you, your cost for redemption is FREE.
If you chose to pay yourself, the cost is your SOUL... NO EXCEPTIONS.
If you feel his call click on the section called the sinners prayer.
Save yourself, Remember NO ONE but JESUS can save you.
The sinners prayer, your free gift of life from Christ.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question: How are we supposed to treat EVERYONE that we meet ?
Answer:
1st Timothy 5:1-2 {NIV}
1Do not rebuke an older man harshly, but exhort him as if he were your
father. Treat younger men as brothers, 2older women as mothers, and
younger women as sisters, with absolute purity.
Just think what this world would be like if we all acted according to Gods wishes .
I know that I have no room to talk, I have even seen myself in the mirror and said :
“ you big fat dummy what are you doing ?”
Have you every talked to a women having a bad hair day ? LOOKOUT ! !
Have you ever been 5 minutes late to an event ? The Sky Will Fall On You
As Christians we try to do well, no one but Jesus is perfect, sometimes painfully we learn that the eyes of the world are just
waiting for you to slip.
Just remember not to be to hard on yourself and to listen to his voice.
As Christians how many times have you just centered yourself in times
of stress and found the peace of Christ and the strength of God ?
Countless times I have no doubt.
The world does not understand as the saying goes,
" Christians are not perfect just forgiven."
If you do not have the peace of Christ I encourage you to be saved and find it.
