Repent! The End is HERE!

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.

And the Truth Shall Set You Free! Study of Ezekiel 38 & 39 Introduction!

I had no idea of the power of these words that our Messiah said in the book of John.

John 8:31, 32 - So Yahshua said to those Judahites who believed Him, “If you stay in My Word, you are truly My taught ones, and you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

I have spent the last few months studying the Scriptures for the Truth of a matter that came to my attention at the end of last year. Someone sent me some information concerning who the twelve tribes of Israel are today. The information made the claim that because the Bible is a book of Israel that it was important information to know.

I had heard a few times in the past of the lost tribes and where they might be but never put much stock in it figuring that Yahweh would sort it all out when He came back and that there were more important things to work on right now. This new information was given to me in such a way that I knew it was something that was to be looked at now as it has much bearing on end times and who is who in today's world and what that means to a follower of Yahweh.

So I have spent the last months opening up my mind to something I previously thought unimportant. Not anymore. I am now convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that this information is critical to all believers and that with this information the Holy Scriptures are unlocked to reveal truths that were never seen before.

I have read the Bible cover to cover many times. Now I read it with new eyes. It is unbelievable to me the things I missed before. With this new information it is clear. I am seeing things I never saw before. It has given me true freedom and peace and I hope to show you that you can have that same peace.

Our world today is in turmoil. The powers that run this world are running amok and taking more and more control. I was talking with someone the other day who came here years ago from Poland. They lived there under the communist regime. He said that they had more freedom there than we do in America today. And he is right. Every day you read news of more liberty and freedoms being stolen from us.

What you might not know is that this has been planned for centuries and it is now coming to fruition. This is an idea that was hatched in ancient Babylon and the final battleground is North America. The wilderness that is spoken of in the book of Isaiah is now full of Yahweh's people living in unwalled villages.

Armageddon is coming to North America. Ezekiel 38 & 39 is going to be fulfilled, not as the Christiandom End-Time preachers say it's going to be, but like the Bible says it will be. It's time to take off the dispensational hats and the blinders that we've been wearing and read the truth of the Word of Yahweh.

The Truth will set you free.

This is part one of a series on this issue. The beginning, the introduction if you like. In the coming blogs, I will be showing who true Israel is, who is living in the Israeli state of Palestine and what this all means.

One last note for today. Please prepare for what is coming.
I Timothy 5:8 And if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the belief and is worse than an unbeliever.

Just as Joseph prepared for his family to survive the 7 years of famine, we need to prepare to go through the terrible time of trial about to come upon us.

Heating Up!

Things are heating up - in more ways than one! Temperatures are the highest they've been all summer and there is no sign that it's going to get cooler any time soon. That isn't the subject of this post though.

Since my dream of a week or so ago the end has been on my mind a lot. Things are coming into perspective and although I already knew we were close I didn't realize just how close we are to the end of it all. I've thought a lot about Noah. Yes, the Noah of Noah's Ark renown. I'm beginning to understand what it was like for him and his family during the time just before the flood. Heartbreaking is the word that keeps coming to my mind.

Why heartbreaking? Well. Think about it. Noah was hundreds of years old during that time. He had many children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, nieces, nephews, brothers, sisters, friends, neighbors, etc. Here he was being obedient to YHWH and building this huge boat where there was no water, no lakes, no ocean. All of the people around him must have thought him absolutely crazy.

I'm sure he told them to repent and follow YHWH and they would be saved from the coming destruction. Just like some of us tell others today. No one listened. Just as no one is listening today. I'm sure he felt many emotions just like we do today. Frustration, sadness, anger and more. Why wouldn't they listen? Why aren't they listening today?

Then they entered the Ark. There was no rain in sight. No water. I'm sure he was called crazy and worse. I expect there as much laughter at their expense.

Then the rains started and the water gushing from the earth. Now instead of laughter and jeering there were cries for help. Cries from people they knew and loved. People they tried to warn but who wouldn't listen. I expect that inside that ark the tears were flowing.

Today there is once again a coming destruction. The Word tells us that it will be like as in the days of Noah. Today it has come. No one listens to the words of those saying repent and walk in YHWH's ways before it's too late. Today we are at that moment that the ark has been built and now we are just waiting for YHWH to tell us to get on and He will shut the door. The door protecting us from His wrath upon the earth and the people who did not repent and who did not follow Him and His ways.

If you are not following YHWH and His ways I beg you to reconsider one more time. Please heed this warning that the time is come and to wait any longer is to wait too long. I'm sure in Noah's time many repented after the doors were closed and the rains came but it was too late to save them. They perished in those rising waters.

I don't want even one of you to perish. Not one. I pray that you heed this message. There is great evil to come upon this earth a very short time from now. It is greater than you can even imagine. Unless Messiah comes back all will perish.

Please repent and come onto the ark of His Word. Embrace His ways and live for Him.

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?

As for me and my household, we will serve Yehoveh!

Nearing the End?

What a roller coaster ride we are on right now. A new president, the financial crisis, rumors of wars in the middle east, Israel surrounded by enemies and wondering if America is still her friend and more. I read someone today on the internet who said that we could still be a thousand years or more until Christ returns. That is the response of many today, many who profess a love of Jesus and want to spend their eternity in heaven. Yet they don't believe that He is really coming soon. Or maybe they don't really believe He is coming at all. After all it has been 2000 years since He was killed. That's a long time in anyone's calendar.

The length of time is causing many to wonder "is He really coming"? That is when atheists chime in and say, yeah, Christians have been saying that for 2000 years and He's not here yet. Like Jesus is on their time frame or something. Remember for God, time has no meaning. Time does not exist except for us here on earth and only until He returns.

The church is being dulled into sleep by the length of time yet with everything happening around us we should be shouting in the streets, Repent, be saved and get ready for the Kingdom is near. Christ is coming - SOON! I don't hear many Christians saying that though. Most are embroiled in wondering how they are going to cope without a job, without their retirement savings, without their nest eggs. We are focused on the things of this world, exactly where satan wants us to have our thoughts. The church has become apathetic towards the return of Jesus Christ. It is more interested in enough money to build that new wing on the church.

It kind of gets me back to one of my first postings. Does the church really believe the bible? Is it true? When Jesus said He is coming back did He really mean it or was He just pulling our strings? Belief is an action and there isn't much action for the Kingdom in the church today.

You know what I find interesting? That God in His infinite wisdom told us down to the very day when to expect His Son the first time. He told us over 100 prophecies concerning His son so that people would know what to look for and what to expect. Some people were looking for Him and those that were looking found Him. There were many, many more however who were not looking and they did not see Him and in fact even took part in fulfilling the prophecies about His death. They were so wrapped up in their doctrines and their lives that they completely missed the first coming of Jesus Christ.

I find it ironic that today we are in the same position. Aren't we supposed to be so much smarter than they were back then? There are those who are looking, watching for the return of Christ. They know they are very close and the time is here that God wrote about in His Word. They are waiting with expectant hearts and wide open arms. But most aren't. Most are apathetic at best. Most don't even want to talk about it. They aren't interested. Most say, well even Jesus doesn't know the hour or the day line of scripture. Or He will come as a thief in the night. Problem is they are taking verses out of context and time.

Jesus did not know when He left this earth but as soon as He ascended He knew. He knows exactly when He's coming back. And He told us in His Revelation to the apostle John when to expect Him to come back. The thief in the night is for those of the world who do not know Christ and are not looking for Him at all. For those of us watching we do know.

I spoke with an 81 year old bible prophecy teacher the other day. He has been studying Daniel and Revelation for almost 30 years. He said that he fully expects to be alive when Jesus returns; that we are so very close to that time. We are at door step of eternity right now.

Acts 1:9-11
9 And after He had said these things, He was lifted up while they were looking on, and a cloud received Him out of their sight.
10 And as they were gazing intently into the sky while He was going, behold, two men in white clothing stood beside them.
11 They also said, Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in just the same way as you have watched Him go into heaven.

Revelation 19:11-13
11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse, and He who sat on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and wages war.
12 His eyes are a flame of fire, and on His head are many diadems; and He has a name written on Him which no one knows except Himself.
13 He is clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called the Word of God.

Jesus Christ, the King of all, is coming - SOON! Please get your priorities in order and get ready to receive your King. Money, stuff, job doesn't matter. Relationship with Him does. Pray for your loved ones to accept Christ as their Savior and put away the world. Be a light to those around you who don't know Him yet. The time is almost done for them to repent and accept Him. Soon it will be too late. This is not the time to be complacent and spend our time worrying about what is going on around us. This is the time to be in our Lord Jesus Christ because He truly is our only hope.

Ellis Skolfield - End of Days, Islam, and what about the Tribulation???

I just have to recommend another excellent read for those of you who love end times and prophecy. This is another entirely new thought process and you will need to go into it very open minded. I first read some of Ellis Skolfields work a few years ago when I was a firm believer in a pretribulation rapture according to the Left Behind series of books. I read a bit and put it down thinking man he is way out in left field and I don't want to read another thing. So I didn't. Until last week.

Funny the path that God puts us on. I'm convinced that our journey will take us as far as our obedience to God will. The minute the obedience stops, so does the knowledge, widsom and understanding. Every day I ask God for those three things and I work to be obedient to His Word, the Bible. And He continues to reward me by leading me on a path of more and more knowledge of Him and His ways.

Matthew 7:8 "For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.

Many people are taught this verse in relation to their physical life. A nice house, car, bank account, etc. I believe this verse means to ask for spiritual gifts and they will be given to you. Gifts of understanding, knowledge and wisdom are gifts that I desire from my God and I believe He is and has given them to me.

So back to the topic at hand. Mr. Ellis Skolfield. Last week I happened across his work again. In fact twice it was shown to me in different ways. This is where the obedience kicks in. I try not to make God show me too many times or I think He just might stop showing me. So I looked Mr. Skolfield up again. I read through his website. http://www.ellisskolfield.com/

Mr. Skolfield has many letters, articles and books free online just for the time to download them. This is a big thing to me. That this information is out there at no charge shows a giving heart by Mr. Skolfield.

I downloaded and printed off the book, The Last Prophet. Approximately 190 pages and read it, finishing it over the weekend. Get ready for a major paradigm shift in your end times thinking. You may be like me a few years ago and throw it to the ground saying, that's absurd. Or you may be like me now, going hmmmmmm...let's see what the bible says about this.....oh my well this is starting to make a lot of good sense.

We've all heard of the 7-year tribulation, 3.5 year great tribulation, antichrist, mark of the beast, false prophet, and all the rest of the end times verbiage. Prophecies in Daniel, Matthew, Ezekiel and of course Revelation have peaked curiosities for centuries. Problem is, according to Mr. Skolfield, none of those prophecies could possibly make sense until 1948 and 1967. Why? Two reasons: Israel and Jerusalem.

Want to know more? Go to http://www.ellisskolfield.com/ and click on books & essays. On that page you will see a free download for chapters 1 - 9 and 10 -17 of the False Prophet. You will also see several other free downloads for your reading pleasure.

Enjoy and let me know what you think. I'd love to hear your opinion.

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!

Where have I been? And today's churches...

I haven't written since mid-January. I really haven't had much to say lately. Busy taking it all in I guess. Today I have some things on my heart. I'm sad. Very sad. At the state of our churches today.

Where did it all go? I'm talking about talking about the Kingdom of God and the coming of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Why don't churches talk about it anymore?

When you read the apostles in the bible that's pretty much all they talk about. They were so excited about Jesus coming back. After all they knew Him in person and they loved Him and they couldn't wait to see Him again. Even the early church fathers taught that Jesus could come back anytime and that we as Christians needed to be ready.

Seems we have lost that these days. Churches now talk about how to handle finances, how to have a good marriage, how to be a good parent, etc. There is little or no talk about getting ready to face the coming tribulation and how to hold out until the end. The end is when Jesus comes back. Maybe our church leaders don't really believe that it's going to happen and that's why they don't teach it? Maybe they are too wrapped up in getting more people in the seats to pay for their buildings? I don't know. I really don't.

I really don't understand it either. The bible says that pastors and teachers will be held to a higher accountability than the average person. Why? Because they are responsible in part, for their flocks. So you would think that they would feel an added burden to make sure their flock was totally prepared to go through tribulation.

So I can only conclude that either (a) pastors don't really believe the bible or (b) they really don't think these things are going to happen in our lifetime so it doesn't really matter right now.

I don't know what else to think. I believe God says what He means and He means what He says. When He says we must endure to the end I believe Him. When He says that if I read the book of Revelation I will be blessed I believe Him. I believe that by reading it, and the rest of His word, that I will be prepared to endure to the end. Whether that means making it all the way to Christs return at the end of tribulation or a martyrs death, I will endure for Christ. No matter what.

Are you ready?
