500 Christians Killed in Nigeria

These are just some of those who are before YHWH's throne waiting for the end.

Revelation 7:9-17

Rev 7:9 After this I looked and saw a great crowd which no one was able to count, out of all nations and tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, dressed in white robes, and palm branches in their hands,

Rev 7:10 and crying out with a loud voice, saying, “Deliverance belongs to our Elohim who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!”

Rev 7:11 And all the messengers stood around the throne and the elders and the four living creatures, and fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped Elohim,

Rev 7:12 saying, “Amĕn! The blessing, and the esteem, and the wisdom, and the thanksgiving, and the respect, and the power, and the might, to our Elohim forever and ever. Amĕn.”

Rev 7:13 And one of the elders responded, saying to me, “Who are these dressed in white robes, and where did they come from?”

Rev 7:14 And I said to him, “Master, you know.” And he said to me, “These are those coming out of the great distress, having washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

Rev 7:15 “Because of this they are before the throne of Elohim, and serve Him day and night in His Dwelling Place. And He who sits on the throne shall spread His Tent over them.

Rev 7:16 “They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more, neither shall the sun strike them, nor any heat,

Rev 7:17 because the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne shall shepherd them and lead them to fountains of waters of life. And Elohim shall wipe away every tear from their eyes.”

All of the millions upon millions of Jews and Christians who have been martyred since Yahshua died are all waiting. Did you know that more than 250,000 people are martyred every year? We who live in the Western world rarely hear of these killings. Killings of innocent people just living and working and serving YHWH who are killed just because they are Christian. Many of them are killed by Muslims, like these 500 in Nigeria. Mostly women and children. Defenseless against the onslaught of murder.

To me this is the most damning evidence against a pre-tribulational rapture that is taught by Western churches. Just because this didn't happen in America most think that we are not in tribulation yet. Wonder what these people thought? Location means everything I think. The thing I hear most from pre-tribbers is that it's not bad enough yet or Yahshua (Jesus) would have taken us out. Well just how bad does it have to be before you give up your theology?

We have been in tribulation since Yahshua died. Matthew 24 is Him speaking to the apostles about what life would be like from then until He returns. It is not some 7 year period which has no basis whatsoever in scripture.

It's almost over people. We have been in tribulation and it's getting worse. It will continue to get worse until His return. It will get so bad that unless He returns there will be no one left.

This heaviness is upon us and I'm sure it won't leave us until it is all over. Insane things are about to happen that have grown men crying out for mercy. It is the time that we who are in Him trust Him no matter what.

God's War on Terror by Walid Shoebat

Are you interested in End Times prophecy? Do you want to know if what is happening in the middle east right now will affect America? Do you wonder if the bible is really true and the things it says really will happen? Then this is one book you will want to add to the top of your reading list.

After finishing this book I truly believe this man was saved out of a life of terrorism for the purpose of alerting God's people to what is coming our way. I won't go into the entire history of Walid as you can go to his site to read his amazing story of salvation. http://www.shoebat.com/

I will briefly tell you that he was born in Israel to an Arab father and Christian mother. Walid grew up as a PLO terrorist and then became a Christian and changed his life. He spends his life teaching people about the dangers of Islam and this book shows God's prophecies from the bible and how Islam plays a major role in the end times.

As a watcher I read everything I can get my hands on. Then I put it up against scripture. Most don't hold up. I don't think anyone is going to have it 100% correct until it's over but there are some very discerning authors out there that I believe God is using.

The point is that we've been listening to prophecy teachers teach the same old thing for a long time. They keep passing it down and we all just believe it. God took this man who was an avowed PLO terrorist and hated Jews and Christians and God saved him. Why? Maybe, just maybe, it is a part of God's plan to warn His people. The bible states time after time that God gives His people warning before things happen. I believe that God is the same today as He was in the bible. He hasn't changed. He is still going to send messengers with warnings. And there are going to be many who just disregard it because it doesn't fit their picture of who, what, where and how. Or it's going to come from someone that doesn't fit their image of a messenger from God. Which are you?

I've done my due diligence on this and I am confident that there is a lot of truth in what he wrote and I am blessed to have the knowledge. I have a peace that does surpass all understanding that wasn't as present before as it is now.

This is a link for a 6-minute video introducing the book. http://www.joelstrumpet.com/?p=1339

Be sure to post your thoughts after you've read the book. Looking forward to hearing from you!
