OBAMA SENDS MORE SPECIAL OPERATIONS GROUND TROOPS TO FIGHT IN SYRIA! COULD THIS BE THE START OF "IRAQ" ALL OVER AGAIN??

New post on Now The End Begins

Obama Sending Special Operations Ground Troops To Fight In Syria by Geoffrey Grider President Obama is sending a small number of Special Operations troops to northern Syria, marking the first full-time deployment of U.S. forces to the chaotic country. The mission marks a major shift for Obama, whose determination to defeat the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria has been balanced by an abiding worry that U.S. troops not be pulled too deeply into the in­trac­table Syrian conflict. The latest deployment will involve fewer than 50 Special Operations advisers, who will work with resistance forces­ battling the Islamic State in northern Syria but will not engage in direct combat, Obama administration officials said. “This is an intensification of a strategy that the president announced more than a year ago,” White House press secretary Josh Earnest said. The move, which the president’s national security team recommended late last week, reflects Obama’s growing dissatisfaction with the halting progress in Iraq and Syria and his commanders’ sense that the Islamic State has significant vulnerabilities that can be exploited. The troops are expected to begin arriving over the next month in Syria, where their main focus will be advising Syrian Arab and Kurdish forces­ who have fought to within 30 miles of Raqqa, the Islamic State’s de facto capital, said a senior defense official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive intelligence. The U.S. troops are expected to remain largely at the “headquarters level,” where they will assess the local forces­ and help plan military operations to put continued pressure on Raqqa and a 60-mile-long stretch of the Syria-Turkey border. A successful attack on Raqqa would mark a major victory for the forces­ battling the Islamic State. The Special Operations forces, even though they are focused on advising U.S. allies and not direct combat, still face a real threat. “This is a dangerous place on the globe, and they are at risk,” Earnest said. “There is no denying it.” The deployment, like the recent commitment to keep 5,500 troops in Afghanistan after 2016, would be essentially open-ended, he said. source

MORE SIGNS OF THE SOON RETURNING MESSIAH TO ISRAEL AS MUSLIMS BEGIN TO WORSHIP ON THE TEMPLE MOUNT!!

According to Ancient Jewish Prophecy, Muslims Worshiping on Temple Mount and Synagogue Massacre are Signs of Messianic Times

By Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz
“The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet, until tribute comes to him; and to him shall be the obedience of the peoples.” (Genesis 49:10)

Last Shabbat, Rabbi Haim Rothman passed away as a result of injuries he sustained in the horrifying terror attack in the Har Nof synagogue last November. His tragic death, after almost one full year in a coma, conforms precisely to a prophecy in the Zohar, a book of Jewish teachings, that describes this specific attack as a major step in the messianic process.

In the Zohar, a book of Jewish mysticism based on Biblical commentary, it is written that in the sixth cycle of 1000 years, there will be a spiritual process of 70 days which “will return the Torah to Moses”, after which “a great cry will go up to God from Israel from the suffering, and a synagogue in the south will be attacked, and five truly righteous Jews will be killed”.

The Har Nof synagogue was attacked by Arab terrorists armed with knives, guns and axes on November 18, 2014. Four Jews were killed in the attack, as well as a Druze policeman, Master Sergeant Zidan Saif, who was killed after heroically engaging the two terrorists. Saif was certainly a righteous and courageous man, and, according to Jewish law, he has the status of a pious non-Jew. The kaddish, the prayer for the dead, is also said for non-Jews who die protecting Jews. In addition, the Druze claim to be from Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, so they are connected to Judaism and Israel. However, for the sake of understanding the Zohar, the Druze policeman was not included in the number of righteous Jews killed in the attack.

At the time of the attack, many scholars of the Zohar tried to understand events according to the timetable described, but the prediction that five righteous Jews would be killed in the attack only truly became a reality last Saturday, when Rabbi Rothman died. Using this timeline, many of the steps that are described in the Zohar as following the murder of the five righteous men in the synagogue are now clearly recognizable in the  violent conflicts in and around Israel today.

For example, in the most intriguing part of the prophecy, the Zohar predicts that the “Sons of Ishmael” (Arabs) will make war against the Messiah, and will “come and bow down before God at the holy mountain in Jerusalem”. The Zohar specifically uses the name of the God of the Jews, and not a generic term or the expression used for non-Jewish worship. This prediction of the Zohar predicts that the Arabs will worship the Jewish God on the Temple Mount and, in fact, that does seem to be what is happening.

With all the anger and fury surrounding the Temple Mount lately, a fact that has largely gone unnoticed is that it is the site of the Jewish Temples which has become the defining symbol for Muslims, rather than the al-Aqsa Mosque, which faces the Kaaba in Mecca. It is the silver-domed Al-Aqsa, and not the Dome of the Rock, that stands on the supposed point from which Muhammad ascended to heaven, sanctifying the location for Muslims.

Before the establishment of the state of Israel, this was not so. During the First Crusade, Islam was uninterested in the Dome of the Rock and it was turned into a church while al-Aqsa, with its lead dome, was a modest mosque. In the early 20th century, the attention of the Muslim world was much more focused on the silver dome of al Aqsa than on the Dome of the Rock, which was not covered with gold until 1993, after the Jews began ascending to the Temple Mount. It appears that the Arabs become intensely interested in the site only when the Jews, and their God, are present.

In fact, the recent Palestinian proposal adopted by UNESCO has Muslims sanctifying and praying at several major Jewish holy sites which have little relevance or connection to Islam.  Rachel’s Tomb in Bethlehem and Joseph’s Tomb in Nablus were tiny and isolated sites, mostly ignored by the Muslims, until Jews returned and began praying there.

The Zohar explicitly states that these wars will be in the sixth cycle of 1,000 years, which is the present era according to the Jewish calendar, and even more specifically, in the current month of Cheshvan.

At that time, the world will gather to make war against Israel, and the children of Edom will gather together and conquer Israel. Edom, in terms of the Zohar, is generally understood to be Rome, or the leader of Western culture; today, scholars interpret Edom to mean the United States.

The Zohar goes on to say that Edom will rule Israel for 12 months. At the end of 12 months the world will shake, and during that time, the Shechina (heavenly presence) will return to dwell in the cave of Moses. The Messiah will hide for 9 months – similar to the period of pregnancy – and then the people in Israel will hear a sound like the blowing of a shofar.

The Zohar and other classical Jewish sources go into great detail describing the steps leading up to the Messiah. Throughout the ages, people have claimed the arrival of the Messiah is imminent, yet never before have the events been so in-sync with the prophecies.

AS HALLOWEEN APPROACHES, HAVE A READ OF "WITCHCRAFT AND PHARMAKEIA" BY NATHELE GRAHAM!

Witchcraft and Pharmakeia - Nathele Graham -twotug@embarqmail.com

 

Some things never change. God, for instance. "For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed." Malachi 3:6.  In the New Testament we read "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever." Hebrews 13:8.  God has always loved His creation and so He gives us rules to live by. God hasn't changed and neither has His rules. Many things don't seem harmful by human reasoning, but because God knows much more than we do He warns us not to participate in them. God doesn't want to ruin our fun, but He wants to protect us. He knows that there's an evil being who wants to destroy mankind. This evil being is known as Satan, the devil, Lucifer, and by many other names. God loves us, but Satan only hates. Satan is the one who tempted Eve to eat the forbidden fruit and is also the one who was arrogant enough to try to tempt Jesus into sin. Satan is also at work today and he uses the same lies that he has always used.

 

Satan is a liar and two lies he uses to deceive many and open the door to his evil world is witchcraft and pharmakeia. He can make them look tempting, but they are a means of subduing your soul and allowing demons to take control. Horoscopes are just fun, right? Ouija boards are just parlor games and Yoga is just stretching exercises, right? Marijuana isn't harmful, right? Wrong on all counts. These are witchcraft and pharmakeia and they are stepping stones into the evil supernatural world of the occult. It's a short journey from these activities to demon possession, Wicca, and satanic worship. Drugs, aka pharmakeia, are a natural part of these activities used to open your mind to the arena of the supernatural. Vines Expository Dictionary  defines "pharmakeia" (translated witchcraft and sorcery in the New Testament) as: "primarily signified as 'the use of medicine, drugs, spells,' then 'poisoning,' then 'sorcery'. In 'sorcery,' the use of drugs, whether simple or potent, was generally accompanied by incantations and appeals to occult powers, with the provision of various charms, amulets, etc., professedly designed to keep the applicant or patient from the attention and power of demons, but actually to impress the applicant with the mysterious resources and powers of the sorcerer". If that's not bad enough, according to the non-canonized book of Enoch, it was the fallen angels who taught mankind to use drugs, and no matter how you feel about this book, drugs are evil. The use of drugs or any occult activity will open portals for demons to enter.

 

Throughout the Bible drugs/sorcery/witchcraft are equated with pagan cultures, sin, and Satan. Sorcerers are first mentioned when Moses and Aaron petitioned Pharaoh to release the Israelites from slavery. Egypt was a demon worshipping nation with a god for everything. To show God's power, Aaron threw down his rod before Pharaoh and it turned into a serpent. "Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers: now the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments" Exodus 7:11. Satan comes with all signs and lying wonders. He can duplicate some of what God can do, but Satan's works are shabby and designed for confusion. "Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world." 1 John 4:1. Just because something looks miraculous doesn't mean it's from God. The wise men, sorcerers, and magicians in the above verse are all associated with occult practices.

 

Along with other sins, sorcery is listed many times in the Bible as something we should not participate in. God's judgment will come upon those who practice this sin, as well as others that many purported Christians participate in. "And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith the LORD of hosts." Malachi 3:5. God promises judgment against those who sin against Him, which includes those who practice sorcery.

 

This wasn't just an Old Testament warning. In his letter to the Galatians Paul warned them not to give in to the works of the flesh. "Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these: Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envying, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God." Galatians 5:19-21. That's quite a list. You might want to check it twice to be sure you aren't participating in any of these works of the flesh. The word "witchcraft" comes from the Greek word "pharmakeia" which, according to Strong's concordance, means: "the use or administering of drugs, poisoning, sorcery, magical arts, often found in connection with idolatry and fostered by it". Since the 1960's the use of mind-altering drugs has sharply increased and so has participation in the rest of the activities in the above list. As the use of mind-altering drugs becomes more widespread we see satanic rituals and practices becoming more open. Cannibalism, mass murder, child abuse, child sacrifice (abortion), and other heinous crimes are on the rise. The word "pharmakeia" only occurs two other times in the New Testament (Revelation 9:21 and Revelation 18:23), and the root word "pharmakeus", which means "one who prepares or uses magical remedies; a sorcerer", is only used once (Revelation 21:8). It seems ominous that these Scriptures refer to those who are left on earth after the Rapture and they are headed for the Lake of Fire. It's clear that Satan's lies encourage drug use and witchcraft; they need to be shunned by Christians. As these activities become commonplace, other sins become "acceptable". Adultery, fornication, homosexuality, disrespecting parents, and dishonoring God have become a way of life for many people, even those who say they follow Christ. Satan is quite adept at fogging our minds so we can't see truth; he makes the ugliest things seem beautiful.

 

Friends, the supernatural is real, both God's pure love and Satan's pure evil. Halloween is swiftly approaching and it is a very important day on the satanic calendar. Many people, Christians as well as the unsaved, find it fun to dress up in hideous costumes that identify with Satan. If you are a Christian, why would you even consider donning a witch costume, a zombie costume, or any other costume that glorifies pure evil? As a Christian your desire should be to identify yourself with Jesus Christ who gave His life to purchase your salvation, not with Satan. What has Satan ever done for you? He has only caused you pain. We live in a physical world, but our fight is supernatural. "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." Ephesians 6:12. Demons are real and witchcraft and pharmakeia have helped to open the way for them to get a foothold in this physical world. It takes very little research to understand that the "principalities, powers, and rulers of the darkness of this world" are running wild. God is also real. It was His supernatural power that parted the Red Sea, caused the walls of Jericho to fall, gave us prophecy, healed the sick, raised the dead, allowed Him to walk on water and to enter locked rooms. Instead of giving Satan power in your life by defying God, turn to our Lord Jesus Christ and Satan will have no power over you.

 

God has not left us defenseless. Christians are sealed with the Holy Spirit and His power is available to us. "For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but might through God;) casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; and having in readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled." 2 Corinthians 10:3-6. We have a choice as to whether we honor Christ or side with Satan. If you study your Bible you will be able to discern how to honor our Lord and eschew evil. Study Scripture and apply it to your life. When tempted to sin, turn to God in prayer. He can change your heart if you let Him. The nearer you draw to Him the more you will be offended by those who chase after witchcraft, sorcery, pharmakeia, or any other work of the flesh that is practiced in defiance of God Almighty.

 

While most children just like to dress up and go door to door asking for candy, there is a very real occult side to Halloween. Many congregations have a "harvest party" in order to draw children away from the pagan side of Halloween. You need to be sure, though, that you don't allow the satanic practices to enter. "All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any." 1 Corinthians 6:12. Brethren, be careful. There is freedom in Christ, but there is also responsibility. If you love Jesus then celebrate Him rather than witchcraft and pharmakeia, sorcery and drugs, Satan and demons. Take every thought captive and reject all forms of witchcraft and drug use. What may seem like innocent fun is, in reality, playing with fire...possibly playing with the eternal lake of fire.

 

Very soon our Lord will call us Home. The Rapture should be on the heart of every Christian and our life should be a living witness for Jesus. As we read the Book of Revelation we see that prior to the wrath of God coming upon the earth (Daniel's 70th week), Christians are called to "Come up hither". "After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter. And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne." Revelation 4:1-2. The call to "come up hither" and the "door opened in heaven" are the Rapture. John is then before the throne of God. In subsequent chapters, John describes the horrors that those who have not accepted Christ as their Saviour will face. Some will come to faith in Jesus during this time of Great Tribulation, and many of those will be martyred. Most people who will face this time will be so rebellious that they will continue in sin. "And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, and they should not worship devils, and idols of gold and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk: neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts." Revelation 9:20-21. You don't want to be among these people. If you have not accepted Christ as your Saviour, then swallow your pride and come to Him now.

 

The tricks of Satan are not treats. The love of God is eternal. Jesus loves you, Satan hates you. Who do you celebrate?

 

God bless you all,

EX-INTEL FAMILY MEMBERS TELL ALL ABOUT THE SECRET SPACE PROGRAMME!!!

Ex-Intel Family Members Tell All About the Secret Space Program

by Dave Hodges | October 22, 2015 5:08 am

PART ONE

PART TWO

[2]

I have been overwhelmed by the quality of the responses that I have received in regard to my revelations about my father’s work. I am shocked about the commonalities that have been communicated to me. Here are some examples of the responses that my series on the secret space program, borne out of Nazi technology, has generated.

After reading the following accounts, there can be no question that we have a secret, military controlled space program and that their activities extend far above and beyond our primitive ventures into space using booster rocket fuel.

Vance Davis

Vance Davis, former NSA operative, and I became friends after I contacted following an interview he did with Art Bell in 1993. I was certain that he knew my father, but later I found out he did not. However, Vance, who was living in Mesa, AZ., at the time, and I became good friends and he revealed much more than he revealed in his e-book, Unbroken Promises.

During my many conversations with Vance, he revealed that part of his NSA indoctrination involved being taught that there is a war going on between good and evil in the cosmos. This war eventually came to earth and manifested itself in the forms we see today. The “evil” side seeks to separate humanity from its collective souls. This is not a misprint. Vance was quite explicit. There are forces that wanted to separate the soul from humanity. Before you click out and move on to the next article, you may wish to consider that Vance’s words are validated 23 years later. Ask yourself, what else, in our present world, seeks to separate mankind from its soul? The answer is the Frankenstein science we call Transhumanism. Transhumanism seeks to morph human beings from their present form into some kind of eternal monster who will be served by the human slaves who left alive to serve the every whim of the Transhumanist elite. 

If Vance did not possess insider knowledge, ask yourself, who was speaking about Transhumanism almost a quarter of a century ago? Only the very few who understood what I am writing here, knew about Transhumanism that many years ago.

Vance told me of a secret space program which not only developed Nazis technology into modern day applications he told me about how this “working group” was also seeking ancient technology left on this planet over 25,ooo years ago. In part four, I will reveal more about this revelation.

TOP ELEVEN SIGNS, IN ORDER, FOR ELEVEN ELEVEN, OF 2015, TO BE THE FIRST DAY OF THE TRIBULATION!

This post is a combination of a review, an update, a summary, and a prioritization, of the top 11 Signs for ELEVEN ELEVEN, of this year, to be the likely first day of the Tribulation.  Only 7 of these signs were part of the original 11 Signs that I first wrote about in February of this year.  The other four signs developed throughout this year, and were important enough to make the current list of the top 11 Signs, IN ORDER OF PRIORITY AND IMPORTANCE (in my opinion).

Many of these signs were given to you 8 or 9 months ago, so it is very important that we give you an update, a reminder, a review, and a condensed summary, of the main reasons why we have EVERY reason to expect 11/11/15 to be the 1st Day of the Tribulation, and the probable Day of the Sudden Destruction/Rapture.  Here is the link, which will give you many more details on each of these 11 Signs, from previous posts, all written this year, if you desire to read them.

http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/oct2015/ronr1011-2.htm  

For 7 of these 11 Signs, to read the entire account, you will have to click on either Part 1, Part 2, or Part 3 of "ELEVEN Signs Pointing DIRECTLY to ELEVEN ELEVEN, as the 1st Day of the Tribulation!"

This is written so that many of you will greatly increase your excitement and anticipation level.  It is written so that everyone reading it will increase their sense of URGENCY, concerning the few days that we almost certainly have left.  It is also written for ALL Watchers, and ALL other Christians, to search your hearts, as to your spiritual readiness to be a part of the Bride of Christ.  It is also written to challenge you to WARN as many people as you possibly can, to MAKE THEIR HEARTS RIGHT WITH JESUS BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!

It is also written to attempt to convince you that there is way too much evidence, pointing DIRECTLY to ELEVEN ELEVEN, of this year, for it all to be just a coincidence.  I am convinced, as many of you are also, that because of the MANY signs, clues, calculations, and puzzle pieces, we have EVERY reason to believe that God's Judgment, in the form of the 21 Judgments in the Book of Revelation, will commence on 11/11/15.

PANIC AS MUSLIM MIGRANTS MARCH THROUGH HANOVER AND CLAIM GERMANY FOR ALLAH!!!

New post on Now The End Begins

Panic As Muslim Migrants March Through Hannover And Claim Germany For Allah by Geoffrey Grider “Look at the women! They’re all veiled!” Last week in the town of Hannover in Germany, Muslim migrants, no longer pretending to be "refugees", marched through the city streets waving the black flag of ISIS and claiming the land for Allah. I don't know how many times we have to say it - but - they are not refugees and they are not migrants. They are Islamic jihadis who are acting en masse to claim Europe for Allah and Islam. They are notassimilating and they will not assimilate into the culture of their host nations. They will demand that you submit to the Sharia, and guess what? That's exactly what's happening. In England, it has already happened. If you ever wanted to know what it was like to watch the downfall of a major nation, you're looking at it. This is what they desperately want to do in America, and Obama is helping them to do it. The German girls voices you hear in this video are saying this: “I thought I was the only one who’s in a bad mood because of this.” “None of us want this. We’re all scared.” “What is this? How will this be in 100 years?” “This is not my life. It just shows you how many of them are here already.” “Now there’s another 1.5 million who came this year.” “Every year 2-3 million arrive.” “It’s generally about foreign infiltration.” “Yes, exactly.” “We won’t dress like we do now.” “Here, no! They won’t take anything from me!” “Look, when I walk through the streets of the city, it’s only foreigners!” “There are walking 50 foreigners and I only see one European face.” “Look at the women! They’re all veiled!” “This is our future.” “Merkel says we’ll make it!” “Yes we’ll make it! We’ll make it to our collective doom!” “No, we won’t make it.” source

SEVENTY FIVE YEAR OLD VISION PREDICTED RUSSIA'S ROLE IN THE SYRIAN CONFLICT AND THE FINAL WAR OF GOG AND MAGOG!!

75 Years Ago, Rabbi Predicted Russia as Biblical “Gog” and the Similarities Are Shocking

By Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz

“Son of man, set your face toward Gog of the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him and say, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD, “Behold, I am against you, O Gog, prince of Rosh, Meshech and Tubal.…” (Ezekiel 38:2-3)

The late Rabbi Haim Shvili, a Jewish mystic born in the early 1900s, made many predictions about the messianic era in his book, Heshbonot Hageula (Reckonings of Redemption), which he wrote in 1935. Some of the predictions in this obscure and largely unknown text were shockingly accurate, stating specific dates and names. His final terrifying vision, that of a Russian-led coalition as the prophesied Gog, is unfolding on the front pages of newspapers today. Of course, Rabbi Shvili did what the newspapers can’t:  he predicted precisely how it would end.

Shvili wrote that the chronology of the Book of Daniel, along with predictions found in Ezekiel 38 and 39, Joel 4 and Zechariah 14, indicated that a great war would break out during the Sukkot holiday of the Jewish year 5751, which began on October 3, 1990. This was reported in the Jerusalem Post and the LA Times of that year, a few weeks before the holiday. Though a great war did not break out, massive and unprecedented Arab riots exploded on the Temple Mount on Sukkot of that year, resulting in 23 Arab deaths and more than 150 Arabs being injured. This incident had major implications for Israel and resulted in international condemnation.

While Shvili did not predict how long the war would continue, he wrote that this conflict marked the beginning of the messianic process. Shvili believed that after the war Jerusalem would reign supreme and the city would become a center of tourism, pilgrimage and Jewish religious learning – a prophecy that has fully come to fruition.

Based on chapters 38 and 39 of Ezekiel, Shvili predicted that the major world power involved in the war of Gog and Magog would be Russia. He specified that it would not be England, though at the time of his predictions, England was the more logical choice for Gog, being much more powerful and more active as a global power. England was also directly involved in the Middle East as part of its mandate. This prediction is even more shocking, since at the time when he wrote his predictions, and even later when they were published, Russia had been replaced by the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR).

Nonetheless, Shvili specified Russia as being the military leader of a coalition during the messianic wars by explaining the the verse in Ezekiel 38:2, which reads, “Son of man, set your face toward Gog of the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech and Tubal”. Shvili interpreted the word “Rosh” through Kabbalistic techniques to mean Russia. He used the same techniques to interpret the words “Meshech” and “Tubal” to be the Balkan states, which are ruled by Russia.

Shvili emphasized that Gog is referred to as the “land of the North”, and Russia is the northernmost country in Europe. He pointed out that the return of the Jews from the north, as prophesied in Isaiah and Jeremiah, will be an enormous miracle. In fact, for a long period of time, the Soviet Union did not allow Jews to emigrate to Israel. In the late 1980s and 90s, around the time when Shvili predicted the messianic period would begin, in an entirely unexpected move, Mikhail Gorbachev opened the borders, allowing Jews to emigrate. More than 1.6 million Jews left, and almost one million came to Israel in what most thought an unlikely, perhaps even miraculous, occurrence.

The verses in Ezekiel explicitly state that Gog is a Nasi (prince) of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal, indicating a republic and not a kingdom. There are presently many countries with a military presence in Syria and Iraq, forming several coalitions. The US is certainly one “prince,” or leader, while Russia is clearly the opposing “prince”.

Shvili predicted that the Russian-led coalition would be opposed by its corresponding counterpart, made up of an army composed of soldiers from all 70 nations.  There have already been confrontations with international implications, such as Turkey shooting down a Russian fighter jet, Britain authorizing its air force to shoot down aggressive Russian jets, and face-offs between Russian and Israeli jets. As alliances continue to form, it is becoming clear that the present conflict in Syria will bring many countries into the fray, just as Shvili described.

Shvili also noted that the War of Gog and Magog would begin in the Hebrew month of Tishrei, which this year began five weeks ago with the holiday of Rosh Hashana, and ended October 12. On September 30th of this year, the 29th of Tishrei, Russia began formal military intervention in Syria, which conforms perfectly with his predictions.

Based on the verses of Ezekiel (39:11), Shvili understood that Russia would come down into Israel via the Golan Heights with the intention of conquering Egypt, but would be vanquished near what is today the Israeli town of Almagor at the northern tip of the Sea of Galilee (Kinneret).

Many people, even those uninclined to Biblical prophecy, are realizing that we live in precarious and unusual times with strong parallels to the messianic process. Though this prospect might be frightening, by witnessing the predictions that have become reality and accepting them as part of a process that has been described, it is possible to take comfort in the end that has been assured. Shvili concludes that after the war of Gog and Magog, the prophecy of world peace, of “beating swords into plowshares” (Isaiah 2:4) will come into effect, centered around Jerusalem as the pinnacle of peace and holiness.

“And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.” Ephesians 5:11,12 (KJV)

The Bible says that the Christian is called to liberty, that we are under grace and not under the Law. New life in Jesus Christ has given us freedom to live as we choose to live. But with that freedom comes the awesome responsibility of living our lives in such a way that we are prepared for the Judgment Seat of Christ. Good choices, Godly choices made here on earth will reap crowns in Heaven. But using that same liberty as an occasion for our own selfish desires results in the loss of those crowns. Choose you this day whom ye shall serve, the Bible says. God allows us to make the choices.

All through the Bible we read about Satan, the Devil, whose only goal in life is to trip us up, cause us misery and sorrow. The Bible says that he only comes to seek his victims, kill his victims, and destroy as many lives of the saved and unsaved as possible. He is a constant force luring us astray, and never-ending downward pull to the dark side, and he uses any means possible to complete the mission.

Halloween in America in 2015 is one the most-celebrated “holidays” all year, and Christians participate in it nearly as much as any other group of people. Parents dress their little darlings in princess and cowboy costumes, knock on doors for candy, and decorate the inside and outside of their houses with festive jack-o-lanterns, hanging ghosts, adorable witches and warlocks. But where did this day originate? Let’s take a look.

Many Christians celebrate holidays, such as Halloween, without thinking about their origins or true meaning. It is impossible to separate Halloween from the Druids because they originated the “holiday.” For several hundred years before Christ, the Celts inhabited what is now France, Germany, England, Scotland and Ireland. Celtic priests were called Druids. These people were eventually conquered by the Romans. Information about the Celts and Druids comes from Caesar and the Roman historians, Greek writings from about 200 B.C., and very early records found in Ireland. Greek and Roman writings about the Druids dwell heavily on their frequent and barbaric human sacrifices. The ancient Irish texts say little about human sacrifices, but detail the Druids’ use of magic to raise storms, lay curses on places, kill by the use of spells, and create magical obstacles.

The cute jack-o-lanterns on your front porch were first used by the Druids in their human sacrifices. After they killed their victim, they drained the fat from their body and filled the gourd or pumpkin with it and put a candle wick inside. A sinister face was carved on the outside face of the pumpkin and the wick was lit, burning the fat as fuel. This was done to appease their gods, the dark spirits, Satan.

October 31st was celebrated by the Druids with many human sacrifices and a festival honoring their sun god and Samhain, the lord of the dead. They believed that the sinful souls of those who died during the year were in a place of torment, and would be released only if Samhain was pleased with their sacrifices.

Irish records tell of the fascination the Catholic monks had with the powerful Druids, and Druids soon became important members of their monasteries. Pope Gregory the Great decided to incorporate the Druids’ holiday into the church. He made the proclamation, “They are no longer to sacrifice beasts to the devil, but they may kill them for food to the praise of God, and give thanks to the giver of all gifts for His bounty.” Pope Gregory III moved the church festival of October 31st to November 1st and called it All Hallows or All Saints’ Day. Pope Gregory IV decreed that the day was to be a universal church observance. The term Halloween comes from All Hallows Eve.

The founding fathers of America refused to permit the holiday to be observed because they knew it was a pagan holiday. Halloween was not widely celebrated in the U.S. until about 1900. In the 1840’s there was a terrible potato famine in Ireland which sent thousands of Catholic Irish to America. They brought Halloween with them. The modern custom of going from door to door asking for food and candy goes back to the time of the Druids.They believed that sinful, lost souls were released upon the earth by Samhain for one night on October 31st while they awaited their judgment. They were thought to throng about the houses of the living and were greeted with banquet-laden tables. People greatly feared these spirits and thought that the spirits would harm and even kill them if the sacrifices they gave did not appease Samhain. They carved demonic faces into pumpkins or large turnips, placing a candle in them to keep the evil spirits away from their homes.

The tradition of bobbing for apples and giving out nuts came from a Roman addition to the Druidic New Year’s eve. The Romans worshiped Pomona who was the goddess of the harvest. They combined their harvest festival to Pomona with Halloween. Very little archeological evidence of the Druids has been found, but there is excellent agreement between the Roman and Irish documents. Both clearly state that the knowledge of the Druids was never committed to writing but passed from generation to generation by oral teaching. This was to protect their secrets. Nothing is put into writing. The Druids continue on secretly with much the same traditions.

When we, the Christians, participate in Halloween we are continuing the Druid tradition that was begun in human sacrifices and worship of the gods of the underworld. The Bible tells us to not merely avoid evil, but to also avoid anything that might appear evil. We are called to be “salt and light” to a lost and dying world. We are called to be a “peculiar people”, visibly different from the world around us. Participating in the Devil’s holiday, at the very least, is a bad testimony and sends confusing messages to our children.

Use your liberty in Christ any way you chose this October 31st, just remember that one day Jesus will ask you about it at the Judgment Seat. 

What answer will you give Him in that day?

DATE-SETTER RON REESE NOW BELIEVES THAT HE KNOWS THE DATE OF THE RESURRECTION DAY!!!

BRAND NEW DISCOVERY--1994 COMET STRIKING JUPITER POINTS DIRECTLY TO OUR RESURRECTION DAY!!! 

I have just made a BRAND NEW discovery that I am extremely excited about.  It is an amazing confirmation of everything that I have been writing about this past year.  I am still in awe, at what I have been allowed to discover.  But please give me a few paragraphs to build up to it.

I am going to copy and paste what I wrote several months ago, so that you can all see what I wrote about the spectacular cosmic collision of the century, on the 9th of Av, July 16, 1994.  It had many Prophetic Signs written all over it.  It was, without a doubt, a DIRECT AND MULTI-FACETED WARNING SIGN FROM GOD OF HIS COMING 21 JUDGMENTS UPON MANKIND IN THE FORM OF THE TRIBULATION. 

This Shoemaker--Levy Comet broke off into 21 pieces representing the 21 JUDGMENTS in the Tribulation.  It also represented 21 Years, taking us to the Year of 2015.  The first impact, of this monumental and Prophetic collision, struck at EXACTLY 11:11 a.m., Jerusalem time.  There were many, many more Prophetic aspects of this most spectacular astronomical event in our lifetime, as you can read about below, from my previous post.

I believe that our all-powerful God was giving us the year of 2015, and also the day of the year of ELEVEN ELEVEN for the starting time of His 21 Judgments to fall on mankind.  This conclusion is backed up even further with this latest brand new discovery that I have made this week.  

21 fragments of the Comet leads us to the 21 JUDGMENTS in the Tribulation.  21 fragments also leads us to 2015, as the start of these 21 Judgments in the Tribulation.  21 years to the day from 9th of Av, July 16, 1994, leads us to July 16, 2015.  So, I then added the number of days until November 11, 2015, and the total number inclusively, counting July 16h as Day 1, and counting Nov. 11th as the Final Day, is 119 days.  At first I was a little bit disappointed that it did not come out to 120 days, as that is a REAL important Biblical number. 

In my "BIBLICAL MATHEMATICS" book, there are only 9 triple digit numbers that are listed with Biblical meanings.  I did not think that 119 was one of those numbers with a Biblical meaning.  Boy, was I pleasantly surprised.  There were SEVEN complete pages, written exclusively about God's extremely important number of ONE HUNDRED NINETEEN.  It turns out to be one of the most important numbers in the entire Bible!!!

Are you ready for this?  Adding 119 days inclusively to July 16th of this year (which is 21 years from the date of this historic and extremely Prophetic Day, of this most spectacular event in the heavens, in our lifetime, takes us EXACTLY to ELEVEN ELEVEN of this year.  So, what does the number one hundred nineteen mean?  It means THE RESURRECTION DAY!!!!!!!  WOW!!!!!!!

Jesus really meant it when He said there would be SIGNS in the heavens of His Return.  The number, and magnitude of Prophetic SIGNS in this Comet Shoemaker--Levy collision is unbelievable.  This is simply more icing on the cake.  What a mighty God we serve!  This is just totally AWESOME!  So, after you read the complete Prophetic account below, with your spiritual antennas raised high, go back and read the preceding paragraph again. 

I know that I will hear from the naysayers, concerning this post, but I want some positive feedback from those of you, with whom this post is resonating.  Do you really believe that this most incredible astronomical event of our lifetime was not God speaking to us?  Was the date of it, the 9th of Av, just a coincidence?  Were the 21 fragments just a coincidence?  Is it just a coincidence that there are 21 Judgments in the Tribulation?  Is it just a coincidence that 21 years later is 2015, the Year that EVERYTHING is pointing towards?  Could it possibly be just another coincidence that the first of the 21 fragments struck Jupiter at EXACTLY 11:11 a.m., Jerusalem time?  And now we have this brand new discovery that is pointing DIRECTLY TO ELEVEN ELEVEN OF 2015 AS OUR RESURRECTION DAY!!!!!!!   Do you honestly believe that these are all just coincidences?

On top of all of that we have numerous other clues, calculations, puzzle pieces, and SIGNS, ALL POINTING DIRECTLY TO ELEVEN ELEVEN OF THIS YEAR!!!!!!!  If you honestly believe that every one of these SIGNS are just a coincidence, then I must serve a bigger God than you do.  I serve an ALL--POWERFUL GOD, who told us there would be signs in the heavens of His Return.  I serve an omniscient God, who is more than capable of orchestrating all of these extremely compelling puzzle pieces!  

I believe we have arrived, fellow Christians.  Get your Rapture shoes on, and keep them laced up, and ready to go.  There used to be a brand of tennis shoes called PF Flyers.  That is the brand that I recommend, as we are getting ready to FLY AWAY.  I firmly believe that we have EVERY reason to believe that our RESURRECTION DAY SHOULD BE ELEVEN ELEVEN OF THIS YEAR!!!!!!!    

Here is the excerpt of the post (below), that I wrote back in February, about all of the Prophetic aspects, except the one that I just discovered, of this Prophetic Comet striking Jupiter:

Sign #4.  The most spectacular astronomical event in our lifetime took place on the very historic day of the year of the 9th of Av, July 16, 1994.  It was the day that the Shoemaker-Levy comet struck the largest planet in our solar system, Jupiter.  Many calamities have struck the nation of Israel on the 9th of Av, such as the destruction of both of their Temples on this same day of the year.  So many bad things have happened on the 9th of Av, over the years, to Israel, that it is a day of the year that strikes fear into the hearts of the Jews.

So, what was God trying to tell us by having this spectacular, and awe-inspiring event take place on the 9TH OF AV, in 1994?  Many Bible Prophecy students, including myself, believe this unprecedented event was a DIRECT WARNING FROM GOD OF COMING JUDGMENT UPON THE EARTH, IN THE FORM OF THE MANY JUDGMENTS IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION DURING THE TRIBULATION!

Why to we believe that?

A.  Because it happened on the 9th of Av, the day of the year, known for great calamities upon the earth, especially to the nation of Israel.  If God was trying to get our attention, He would have chosen the 9th of Av to do it.  This was NO coincidence.  July 16, 1994, the 9TH OF AV, was a God-ordained day to WARN THE WORLD OF HIS APPROACHING JUDGMENT ON MANKIND, IN THE FORM OF THE JUDGMENTS OF GOD DURING THE TRIBULATION!

B.  Because Jupiter, the planet that was struck, is known as the planet which represents God, in Biblical astronomy, mainly because it is the largest planet.  This Comet, represented man striking against God, or man's rebellion against God.  This Comet should have known better than to strike against God's planet (I'm speaking tongue-in-cheek here).  Obviously, this Comet came out 2nd best, in its futile attempt to strike God's planet of Jupiter.  Just like man should know better than to attempt to strike against God, or to rebel against God.  Man always comes out 2nd best.  It is always a futile attempt.  The Comet met its doom, by attempting to strike against God's planet,  just like mankind is going to meet his doom for rebelling against God, during the rapidly-approaching Tribulation hour,

C.  Because of the EXACT God-ordained TIMING of this spectacular event, we have every right to carry this parallel WARNING event even further.  God's response to this collision of the Comet striking against God's planet of Jupiter was to cause the destruction of the Comet, by having the Comet break off into INTO 21 PIECES.  Once again, it is NO coincidence that when mankind's rebellion against God reaches its climax, that God will strike back against 

man, just like Jupiter, God's planet, struck back against the Comet.  This Comet was no match, just like Mankind is no match for God.  How will God strike back against mankind?  In the form of the21 JUDGMENTS IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION DURING THE TRIBULATION!!!  21 PIECES REPRESENT 21 JUDGMENTS.

There are 7 Trumpet Judgments.  There are 7 Seal Judgments.  There are 7 Bowl (Vial) Judgments.  THAT IS A TOTAL OF 21 JUDGMENTS TO BE LEVELED BY GOD AGAINST MANKIND IN THE TRIBULATION, BECAUSE OF MANKIND'S STRIKING AGAINST GOD AND AGAINST GOD'S CHOSEN NATION OF ISRAEL.  THERE WERE 21 PIECES LEFT AFTER THE DESTRUCTION OF THE COMET, AFTER IT STRUCK GOD'S PLANET OF JUPITER.  God's plan for destruction during the Tribulation is to strike this world with the very same number, 21 Judgments.  This was NO coincidence.  God was giving us a DIRECT WARNING, with this unparalleled astronomical event.  Has mankind heeded the warning?  Obviously not, with mankind's rebellion against God growing stronger every year.  How long will God wait until He pours out His Judgments agains mankind, in the form of the 21 Judgments in the Tribulation?

D.  The answer to the above question is almost certainly found in this collision of the Shoemaker-Levy Comet coming against Jupiter, God's planet.  The parallel is mankind being on a collision course with the God of this universe.  It is my opinion that , just like the 21 pieces left of the Comet, after it collided with Jupiter, represent the 21 Judgments in the Tribulation, they also represent THE NUMBER OF YEARS BEFORE THE COLLISION OF MANKIND AGAINST GOD CULMINATES IN GOD'S JUDGMENTS AGAINST MANKIND.  THE 21 PIECES REPRESENT 21 YEARS FROM 1994 TO 2015 FOR THE START OF THE TRIBULATION!!!

E.  21 in the Bible means "exceeding sinfulness of sin".  When Mankind's sinfulness exceeds God's limits, just like in the Days of Noah, and in the Days of Lot, God is forced to act.  God's mercy and grace does have a limit before His Judgments fall on Mankind.  His Judgment fell on the whole earth, except for 8 people, in the Days of Noah.  His Judgment fell on the whole population of Sodom and Gomorrah, except for Lot and his family, in the Days of Lot.  The reason was that mankind had exceeded God's limit for sin.  As in the Days of Noah, and as in the Days of Lot, so shall it also be in the days of the Son of man (Jesus).  

That is why God has destined the Day of the Lord, the Tribulation hour, to deal with mankind's "exceeding sinfulness of sin".  It certainly is apparent to me that God is choosing to use His number of 21, which means "exceeding sinfulness of sin", to reveal the NUMBER of His Judgments on sinful Mankind, and the TIMING of his Judgments on Mankind.  There are 21 JUDGMENTS DURING THE TRIBULATION AND 21 YEARS OF WARNING WITH THE SPECTACULAR COLLISION OF THE CENTURY OF THE COMET STRIKING GOD'S PLANET OF JUPITER!!!  In 2015, the 21 years will be over.  It is becoming apparent that God, in his foreknowledge, knew when Mankind's "exceeding sinfulness of sin", would reach its zenith.  We have every reason to believe the answer is the year 2015.  Everything about this cosmic collision is pointing to the YEAR 2015, so the next question is, "When, after 21 YEARS, will be the DAY we should expect these 21 Judgments of the Tribulation to commence?" 

F.  This is the SIXTH Prophetic sign of this Comet-Jupiter collision.  Man' s number is SIX in the Word of God.  It is MAN who is about to be judged with the 21 Judgments in the Book of Revelation.  If God is giving us the YEAR that His Judgments, in the form of the Tribulation, will start, with this 21-Year Warning, could He also be giving us the DAY???  Hang on to your hats, fellow Christians.  Are you ready for this ASTOUNDING, BREATHTAKING REVELATION, that I believe is DIRECTLY from God Himself?  The Shoemaker-Levy Comet, not only struck Jupiter, God's planet, on the 9th of Av. historically known as Judgment Day.  This spectacular collision, not only resulted in the destruction of the Comet into 21 pieces, as in 21 Judgments from Revelation, and a DIRECT WARNING of 21 years from 1994 to 2015.  But this God-orchestrated, unprecedented sign-filled collision, took place at 11:11 a.m., JERUSALEM TIME!!!!!! 

I BELIEVE THE LORD WAS NOT ONLY GIVING US THE YEAR THAT THE TRIBULATION WOULD START, 2015, BUT ALSO THE VERY DAY OF THE YEAR, 11/11!!!!!!  If you do not believe this, then maybe you should read again carefully the six signs just presented to you, how this spectacular collision of the century was a DIRECT SIGN FROM GOD, right down to the last detail!  What a truly AWESOME, MERCIFUL God we serve, who would give us a specific, and awe-inspiring sign from the Heavens, just like was prophesied in His Word, right to the DAY! 

When we consider the six specific WARNING signs, revolving around this Comet-Jupiter collision, and then consider that the Lord has given us ten other signs for a total of ELEVEN signs pointing DIRECTLY TO 11/11/15, how can we consider the time of the day of 11:11 a.m., Jerusalem time, to be just a coincidence???  I cannot.  Can you?  Circle 11/11/15 on your calendar.  Put whatever words of Warning the Lord leads you to on this Day of Destiny.  To me, this specific SIGN OF WARNING is literally breathtaking!

Anything else that I would choose to write in this post, would be anti-climatic, after this Sign #4.  So, I leave you after only four of the ELEVEN SIGNS POINTING DIRECTLY TO 11/11/15, with more to come later. 

Receive these as WARNINGS FROM THE LORD, TO YOU!  ARE YOU READY?

Maranatha!
