When will people wake up? When will people realize the need to repent of their sins before Yahweh, God of the Universe, returns? Why are people procrastinating, quite possibly until it's too late?
Where are our preachers? They are busy building bigger churches instead of warning their congregations that the Kingdom of God is at hand. They are speaking on the importance of tithing instead of on the importance of preparing for war. They are motivational speakers rather than preachers of Yahweh's Word.
The prophets; Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel and the others ALL warned us of this coming time and war. We are sitting here in America IGNORING their warnings to us because we have been taught by the preachers and prophecy teachers that America is not even in Bible prophecy and all that the Bible has to say on the matter of End Times is about a tiny little strip of land in Palestine (the Israeli State) so we here in the good ole' U.S.A. have nothing to worry about.
UGH! UGH! UGH! There are so many things wrong with that way of thinking that I don't know where to begin.
1. The people who are living in that tiny strip of land in Palestine are NOT God's chosen people. According to their own literature, encyclopedia and writings and according to all historical documentation those people are not descended from Jacob, the father of the Twelve Tribes - the chosen people of Yahweh. They are a mixed people descending from the following people groups: Japeth (son of Noah), Esau/Edomites (descended from Esau brother of Jacob) and Cannanites (descended from Esau who married Caananite women).
So if that is true that means that all of this talk about 1948 being the start of the end time timeline is false talk. It means that that land over there has either no prophetic value or a different prophetic value. It means that all of those prophecies that the prophets spoke about must be about another place and another people.
2. America is in Bible prophecy. Not by name - how could that be when it wasn't even named until thousands of years after the prophecies were written. But it is in there. Isaiah 18 is an entire chapter that I call the America chapter. Then there is this little tidbit in II Samuel. Setting the stage for this verse we have King David in his palace in Jerusalem. He is king over all Israel - all twelve tribes - then entire nation is at peace for the first time. The prophet Nathan gives him this message from Yahweh.
II Samuel 7:10 Moreover I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own, and move no more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as beforetime,
Why would God be telling David that he would appoint a place for Israel if it was the same place that David was already standing. That Israel was already occupying? That was also considered "their own" and that no one would "afflict them"?
Because Yahweh knew that Israel would only be together for a very short time and then for 3000+ years there would be conflict and a scattering of the Twelve Tribes until a few hundred years before the end of this age He, Yahweh, would bring the majority of His chosen people to a land of unwalled villages, a wilderness, a place of peace and safety and keep them safe until the final time of trouble. That place is America. The home of Christianity, the home of missionaries, the home of people who worship the one true God, Yahweh. That is, until the last 50 years or so.
This country is no longer under Yahweh's protection. We have turned away from Him just like our forefathers, the Israelites of the Old Testament did. We practice paganism and don't keep His Law and we ignore the prophets. Those prophets who are telling us what to expect, when to expect it and what to do to stay safe through it. We are ignoring it and we will get the same results that they did 2700 years ago.
The Bible speaks of the war of Gog-Magog/Armageddon. This is the war to end this current age and take us to the next age. This will be a war fought on North American soil. Are you ready for it? Or are you still convinced that it isn't going to happen here or that even if it does you don't have to worry because you'll be raptured out?
Well, all I can say is the evidence of Scripture doesn't back up the position of an Israeli state Armageddon and a rapture but if you want to hold onto that then so be it.
For those of you who want to know more there are links on my website where you can do more study. http://www.infiniteabundance.us
Repent because the end is not near - it is at the doorstep. It is here and there is not much time left to get right with Yahweh.

When Do You Call on the Lord?
I was listening to a teaching on Zechariah this morning on my walk. The teacher asked a question. "Do you call on the Lord only in times of trouble?" What he meant by that is, what kind of relationship do you have with Him? Is it only when you need Him or is it an every day relationship?
Even pagans - those without God - will call on Him when they think it is their last resort. We've all heard stories of even atheists calling out to God when death is certain or a loved one is in serious condition. That isn't relationship, that is idol worship. Yehoveh wants more than that from us, His chosen people. He has mercy on us not just because He can give that to us, but because He wants to be in relationship with us. That is called grace. Grace is mercy given for a reason and His reason is relationship.
In many cultures it is common that in times of trouble, the family idols are brought out, prayed to and asked for help. If we only talk to Yehoveh in challenging times how is that any different?
I always like to compare it to the relationship that I have with my husband. I love him and love being in relationship with him. Because of that I like talking to him, being with him and all that goes with being in a relationship. What kind of relationship would it be if I saw him only when I was in trouble and needed him? Or said the same words to him every day at the same time and without really feeling anything? More duty than love? It's obvious that we wouldn't have much of a relationship at all. In fact, it is a relationship like this that often leads to divorce.
What kind of relationship do I have with Yehoveh? Is it the same boring stuff day after day, or even going days without speaking to Him or reading His Word? How long would my marriage last if I went days without speaking to my husband or listening to him speak to me? Not long I would think. How long will my relationship last with my Lord if I rarely speak to Him, think about Him or read His words to me? Not long I would think. That is called walking away from Him.
The time is short in this world. The times He tells us about in His Word are upon us. The time to spend building a relationship with Him is almost over. Please don't waste one more minute living for this world. Lift your eyes up to Him and tell Him that more than anything else you want to be in a fantastic relationship with Him for now and for all eternity. Talk to Him and read His Word.

Looby Loo!
Remember the game we used to play as children called Looby Loo? Put your left foot in, take your left foot out, put your whole self in, take your whole self out, etc. I believe that many Christians play this game with their faith. These past few days I've been re-evaluating my walk and realized that it is so easy to have one foot in and one foot out at the same time. This world is so challenging right now that we have our hands full just trying to manage and get through our days.
You want to please those around you; your family, your boss, your friends, your co-workers, etc. The question we rarely ask ourselves is are we pleasing Yehoveh God? Are we putting the way people think about us above what He thinks about us.
Over and over the past few days Yehoveh has put His Word in front of me with the answer. He has put people in my path with the answer. The answer is that I have been more concerned with what others think of me than I have with being obedient to Him. I have thought about and worried what they might think of me, how they might treat me, if they would like me anymore or even walk away from me if I stood up for truth. Would I lose business? Would I lose a friendship? Would I lose a close family member? Would I get ridiculed, laughed at, ignored, hated, called names, rejected? Would they remove me as a friend from Facebook - sad, but true.
I had one foot in with Yehoveh and the other one firmly in the world. This morning He led me to the first three chapters in Revelation. He made me realize that living that way leads to destruction. Those three chapters are written to His believing church. They were not written to the unbelievers of the world or even seekers. He was admonishing His people to step up and do right by Him, not right by the world. He also let them know quite frankly that if they didn't, the consequences would be severe. Eternity without Him.
Gasp! Yes - contrary to the popular belief that is taught in today's churches, you can walk away from Him. You have free will and can choose your eternity. Messiah Yeshua spoke about this very issue in Matthew 7:21-23 "Not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord! will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, only those who do what my Father in Heaven wants. 22 On that Day, many will say to me, Lord, Lord! Didn't we prophesy in your name? Didn't we expel demons in your name? Didn't we perform many miracles in your name? 23 Then I will tell them to their faces, I never knew you! Get away from me, you workers of lawlessness!"
He was not talking to unbelievers. Unbelievers don't do these things. He was talking to people who were doing things in His Holy name. Believers.
Revelation 1:3 Blessed are the reader and hearers of the words of this prophecy, provided they obey the things written in it! For the time is near!
In the time of John the word hear did not just mean to hear something, it was an action word. It meant that you had to DO something to show that you heard and understood. If you trust Yeshua/Jesus then hear and obey! If you have a foot in the world NOW is the time to pull it out and firmly stand on the Rock of Salvation. It's all or nothing - you can't have it both ways.
Joshua 24: 14-15 Therefore fear Yehoveh, and serve Him truly and sincerely. Put away the gods your ancestors served beyond the River and in Egypt, and serve Yehoveh! 15 If it seems bad to you to serve Yehoveh, then choose today whom you are going to serve! Will it be the gods your ancestors served beyond the River? or the gods of the Emori, in whose land you are living?

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!
