GOD'S ELECT ARE EYEWITNESSES TO END TIME EVENTS!

It is absolutely AMAZING, as we watch the events unfold in the Middle East (especially in Israel, where the Garden of God will be restored)! We are EYEWITNESSES to PROPHETIC EVENTS! We are seeing (again) prophecy being fulfilled BEFORE OUR VERY EYES!!!

The prophecies (from God) declared in Joel, chapter 2 CANNOT BE IGNORED! "A day of Darkness and Gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a GREAT people and a STRONG; there has not been "ever" the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations. A "FIRE" devours before them; and behind them a flame burns; "THE LAND IS AS THE GARDEN OF EDEN BEFORE THEM", and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them."

Please read the ENTIRE Chapter of JOEL 2. Then read the ENTIRE Chapter of JOEL 3. I shall read verse 4, as it bears witness to CURRENT EVENTS!....(Joel 3:4) "Yea, and what have you to do with me, O Tyre (also called TYRUS), and Zidon (also called SIDON, of which also represents present-day LEBANON!) and all the COAST OF "PALESTINE"? Will you render Me a recompense? And if you recompense Me, swiftly and speedily, will I return your recompense upon your own head?"......Please read the ENTIRE Chapter of Joel 3, for it does lead to THE BATTLE OF ARMAGEDDON (of which the EVENTS THAT ARE NOW TAKING PLACE are leading to)

The prophecies of Amos CANNOT BE IGNORED, as they speak of events THAT ARE NOW TAKING PLACE! Read the prophecies of Amos, Chapter 1. I will quote verses 5-10:

5) I will break also the bar of Damascus, and cut off the inhabitant from the plain of Aven, and him that holds the "Scepter from the "House of Eden" (Eastern Orthodoxy): and the people of Syria shall go into captivity to Kir, says the Lord.

6) Thus says the Lord; for 3 transgressions of GAZA, and for 4, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they carried away captive the whole captivity to deliver to Edom:

7) But I will send a fire on the wall of GAZA (Palestinian) which shall devour (current events) the palaces thereof;

8) And I will cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod, and him that holds the scepter from Ashkelon, and I will turn my hand against Ekron, and the remnant of the Philistines shall perish (Palestinians), says the Lord.

9) Thus says the LORD; For 3 transgressions of TYRUS (also called TYRE IN LEBANON), and for 4, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they delivered up the whole captivity to Edom, and remembered not the brotherly covenant:

10) But I will send a fire on the wall of Tyrus (also called TYRE of LEBANON), which he shall devour the PALACES thereof (current events).

The prophecies in the Book of Zephaniah (from God) CANNOT BE IGNORED!!! These PROPHECIES are DIRECTLY RELATED to EVENTS that are occurring AT THIS VERY MOMENT, and MANY PROPHETIC EVENTS that are recorded in the Book of Zephaniah, ARE OCCURRING "RIGHT NOW" AT THE VERY TIME OF THIS WRITING!!! The other prophetic works in Zephaniah, I do plan to address in another writing. But I would like to quote from the verses in Chapter 2, THAT DO BEAR-WITNESS TO THE OTHER PROPHETIC WORDS from the other Old Testament Prophets, that I have made reference to in this writing, which in this case is just recorded in verse 4 of Chapter 2: "For GAZA shall be forsaken, and Ashkelon a desolation: they shall drive out Ashdod at the noon day, and Ekron shall be rooted up."

The prophecies of Zechariah (from God) CANNOT BE IGNORED, for they concern EVENTS THAT ARE HAPPENING "RIGHT NOW" IN THE MIDDLE EAST (most specific to the events that are happening in ISRAEL, and the Land OCCUPIED BY THE PALESTINIANS IN ISRAEL and also LEBANON). There are MANY PROPHETIC EVENTS that are recorded in this "Book of Zechariah", to which I should and will address those issues at another time. For now, God has directed me to address the issues that are RELEVANT to the prophecies that I (by the Lord's direction) have cited from the other Old Testament prophets that deal with these SAME "END-TIME" EVENTS.

I shall quote the Word of God, as it appears in Zechariah 9, starting with verse 2:

2) And Hamath also shall border thereby; Tyrus (also called TYRE), and Zidon (also called SIDON), though it be very wise.
3) And Tyrus (LEBANON) did build herself a strong hold and heaped up silver as the dust, and fine gold as the mire of the streets. (Note: The coastal cities of Lebanon, most notably Tyre, and Sidon, have become very well known as Mediteranean Tourist stops, as well as many other locations inland
to Lebanon as well).
4) Behold, the Lord will cast her out, and He will smite her power in the sea and she shall be devoured by fire. (Note: Israel's Warships have been bombing both Tyre, and Sidon in this CURRENT CONFLICT).

5) Ashkelon shall see it, and fear. (Note: the CURRENT CONFLICT with the Palestinians is running current with the war campaign in Lebanon), Gaza also shall see it, and be very sorrowful, and Ekron; for her expectation shall be ashamed (Note: These cities described in this verse, are "all" in Palestinian Territories, of which, the Palestinians & Israel are also at war. So Israel has War campaigns both in the North & South concurrently); and the King shall perish from Gaza (ARAFAT was the leader "KING" of the Palestinian people), and Ashkelon shall not be inhabited.

We are living in STRANGE TIMES! We are living in a time in which THE WORLD HAS NEVER SEEN (at least since NOAH'S FLOOD)! The SUPER-POWERS of this World have now developed WEAPONS, & BOMBS OF "MASS DESTRUCTION"! The Atom Bomb alone was developed at the end of WWII, and was used on 2 Japanese cities, destroying the lives of HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS! But NOW, in our PRESENT TIME, we have developed Bombs from even newer Technology (Nuclear), which are even MORE POWERFUL! And even now we are looking at "THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES HAVING THIS CAPABILITY"! It's not only in the hands of the UNITED STATES and RUSSIA, but also PAKISTAN and INDIA now have this capability, and because of present-day concerns, CHINA too probably has this capability, as well as NORTH KOREA AND IRAN! I wouldn't be surprised if other European countries also have this capability as well!

Nonetheless, this Technology is now realized as a GLOBAL THREAT, AS IT SHOULD BE!!!....It is important to note RIGHT HERE that "EVERY" MILITARY DEVICE, "EVERY" MILITARY WEAPON, "EVERY" BOMB, is made or invented to be USED!!! It is NOT made or invented to NOT BE USED!!!.......... AND IT IS TIME FOR THE ELECT TO WAKE UP AND REALIZE THE TIME WE ARE LIVING IN TODAY!!! WOULD YOU THINK THAT OUR LORD AND SAVIOR "JESUS" WOULD HAVE YOU THINK THAT HE WOULD DELAY HIS COMING??? DO YOU BELIEVE THAT HE WOULD HAVE YOU THINK THAT HE WOULDN'T COME IN YOUR LIFE-TIME??? It is DUE TIME for the ELECT OF GOD to SET UP AND REALIZE the TIME WE ARE LIVING IN TODAY!!! We need to note that WE ARE LIVING IN AN AGE WHERE END-TIME PROPHECY IS BEING FULFILLED BEFORE OUR VERY EYES!

LOVE IN JESUS NAME, DALE JAMES

THE RAPTURE

"For the Lord Himself shall descend from Heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are ALIVE AND REMAIN shall be CAUGHT UP together with them IN THE CLOUDS, to meet the Lord in the AIR: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words." (1 Thess. 4:16-18)

The Latin word RAPTURE is the commonly used word referring to the biblical Greek word "ARPAGESOMETHA" meaning "We shall be snatched or caught up suddenly"!

With the many Bible references to the RAPTURE, one of the most OVERLOOKED, yet commonly read verses, is where Jesus said that his coming would be just "AS IT WAS IN THE DAYS OF NOAH AND LOT"!

So let's take a look at these verses!

Luke 17: 26-29 says; "And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage; UNTIL THE DAY THAT NOAH ENTERED INTO THE ARK and the flood came, and destroyed them all. LIKEWISE also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; But the SAME DAY THAT LOT WENT OUT OF SODOM it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all."

Notice that the destruction did not happen "until God took his people out"!

Furthermore, when the ANGEL told LOT that he was going to destroy the city of Sodom, the ANGEL said; "Haste thee, escape thither; for I CANNOT DO ANYTHING till thou be come thither..." (Genesis 19: 22-24).

So LIKEWISE...in the "GREAT TRIBULATION"...God will "take out" all of HIS PEOPLE who have accepted the salvation offered "freely" through the atoning blood of Jesus Christ!
1 Corinthians 15: 51-53 shows the IMMORTAL CHANGE that will happen INSTANTLY to God's people at the RAPTURE!

Romans 11:25 says that "blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles be come in." (This is because the Jews, for the most part, rejected Jesus at His 1st coming, and crucified Him.)

One of the MAIN reasons that some people are CONFUSED about the RAPTURE is because the book of Revelation says that "saints will be martyred in the Tribulation"! The saints that will be martyred in the Tribulation are Jews, whose eyes were spiritually blinded until the "FULNESS OF THE GENTILES WOULD COME IN, AND BE TAKEN OUT"!

The Bible says that "the first would be last, and the last would be first"! Jesus was meaning that the Jews, who were called first, would come in last, and the Gentiles, who were called last, would come in first!

The TRIBULATION is called "the time of JACOB'S (Israel's) TROUBLE"! "Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of JACOB'S TROUBLE; but he shall be saved out of it."! (Jer. 30:7)

God will open the eyes of the Jews when He sends His 2 Jewish witnesses to preach to them in the Tribulation! (Rev. 11: 3-11) And all Jews who believe will be saved, even if they have to die for their faith in Jesus! But this is the MAIN area of confusion to some people concerning the RAPTURE! It is not that most don't see the clear teachings of the RAPTURE, but some have gotten confused seeing that "saints will be martyred in the Tribulation", and they have not properly understood the clear PROPHECIES ABOUT ISRAEL!

So be assured! Jesus WILL snatch up "His Bride" BEFORE the Great Tribulation, which shall come upon all the world---just as God took out Noah and Lot from the "destruction"! IT'S A PROMISE!

Revelation 3:10 says; "Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will KEEP THEE FROM the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth." (The word "hour" is mentioned in the book of Revelation as meaning the "Tribulation"! See Rev. 3:10, 14:7, 17:12)

So "Lift up your heads, for your redemption draws nigh"!

THE GREAT TRIBULATION...
THE MOST CATASTROPHIC EVENT EVER TO HAPPEN IN ALL OF EARTH'S HISTORY!

Matthew 24:21 says; "For then shall be GREAT TRIBULATION, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be."

According to the prophecy in the book of Daniel, in Daniel 9:24-27, God tells Daniel that "70 weeks" (70 x 7 years) were "determined upon Israel, and the HOLY CITY (Jerusalem), to make an end of sins...and to bring in everlasting righteousness...and to anoint the MOST HOLY"!

Daniel 9: 25-26 says; "Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem (after the Babylonian captivity) unto Messiah...Prince (the Septuagint shows there is a separation between Messiah and Prince) shall be 7 weeks...and 62 weeks:...And after the 62 weeks shall Messiah (Jesus) be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of THE PRINCE (Antichrist) that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary..." THIS HAPPENED IN 70AD WHEN TITUS DESTROYED JERUSALEM AND THE TEMPLE!

The Septuagint is the only remaining "accurate" translation of the Hebrew scriptures, so lets look at how the Septuagint reads Daniel 9: 26-27; "And after the 62 weeks, the anointed one (Jesus) shall be destroyed, and there is no judgment in him: and he shall destroy the city and the sanctuary with the PRINCE (Antichrist) that is coming...And 1 week shall establish the covenant with many: and in the MIDST OF THE WEEK my sacrifice and drink-offering shall be taken away (70AD): and on the TEMPLE shall be THE ABOMINATION OF DESOLATIONS; and at the END OF TIME an end shall be put to the desolation." (Jesus quoted from this Septuagint verse precisely---the KJV is not precise here!)

These scriptures clearly show that after Jesus was crucified (62nd week) that there would be 7 MORE WEEKS (49 years) and then THE PRINCE (TITUS) would rise, and in the MIDDLE of the LAST WEEK OF DANIEL'S 70 WEEKS, THE PRINCE (TITUS) would destroy JERUSALEM and the TEMPLE! THIS HAPPENED IN 70AD! (Scholars now admit that Jesus was born years before the previously supposed date! All they had to do was read the book of Daniel!) So, since JERUSALEM AND THE TEMPLE were destroyed in the MIDDLE of the last 7 years of Daniel's prophecy....THERE STILL REMAINS 3 1/2 YEARS LEFT TO BE FULFILLED of Daniel's "70 weeks of years prophecy"!

THIS IS WHAT THE "GREAT TRIBULATION IS REFERRING TO" ... "THE LAST 3 1/2 YEARS OF DANIELS PROPHECY"!

If you will notice, ALL THROUGH THE BOOK OF REVELATION---the Apostle John refers to the "Great Tribulation" as being "42 MONTHS, or 1260 DAYS...WHICH EQUAL "3 1/2 YEARS" (42 months = 3 1/2 years)...And...(1260 days = 3 1/2 years)!

Contrary to what we have been taught for so many years by inaccurate (so-called) prophecy teachers, THERE ARE ONLY 3 1/2 YEARS OF THE GREAT TRIBULATION... ACCORDING TO THE BIBLE!

THE 1ST HALF of the "LAST 7 YEARS" happened in 70AD, when TITUS did the "ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION"! But, the Apostle John, in the book of Revelation, shows that THE LAST 3 1/2 YEARS WILL BE FULFILLED AT THE END TIME..."42 MONTHS"!

The Bible says that THE ONE WHO DESTROYED JERUSALEM IN 70AD (TITUS), would have a DEADLY WOUND, but that he would RISE AGAIN at the END TIME, and FINISH THE LAST 3 1/2 YEARS of the 7 which were interrupted in the "MIDST OF DANIEL'S LAST WEEK"... in 70AD!

This is what is meant by; "THE BEAST'S DEADLY WOUND WAS HEALED"!

REVELATION 13
Revelation 13: 1-2 says; "And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having 7 heads and 10 horns, and upon his horns 10 crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. And the beast which I saw WAS LIKE unto a leopard (Greece), and his feet were as the feet of a bear (Media Persia), and his mouth as the mouth of a lion (Babylon): (See Daniel 7 & 8)

Notice that John mentions "ALL 4 KINGDOMS OF DANIEL 7"! John mentions THE LEOPARD--Greece, THE BEAR--Media Persia, THE LION--Babylon, and the 4th and last KINGDOM with 7 HEADS AND 10 HORNS--ROME!
ROME is the last kingdom WITH 7 HEADS and 10 HORNS! People have gotten so OFF BASE in their interpretation of this prophecy!

THE BEAST with 7 HEADS and 10 HORNS is ROME!

So when John says in Revelation 17: 9-11; "And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are 7 mountains on which the woman sitteth (Rome). And there are 7 kings: 5 are fallen, and 1 is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. And the BEAST that was, and is not, even he is the 8th; and is of the 7, and goeth into perdition (destruction)." WHAT JOHN IS SAYING IS... (AT THE MOMENT HE WAS WRITING), that 5 ROMAN EMPERORS HAD FALLEN, and "ONE IS" (Nero), and another would come (Vespasian), and the 8th would be TITUS, who was of the 7! (Vespasian and his son Titus were CO-EMPERORS!)

If you will check your encyclopedia, you will see that JOHN'S LINE-UP OF THE ROMAN EMPERORS ARE EXACTLY IN ORDER! And even the 3 "non authorized emperors" (i.e.--Galba, Otho, and Vitellius) ARE THE 3 THAT DANIEL 7:8 SAYS ARE "PLUCKED UP BY THE ROOTS"! Which is exactly what happened! After Nero died, these 3 tried to become Emperor before VESPASIAN AND TITUS! BUT ALL 3 were killed or committed suicide, "all in that same single year! And TITUS was right there to help facilitate their demise!

THE PROPHECIES OF THE BIBLE ARE SO PRECISE...HOW CAN ANYONE "NOT SEE IT"! The entire world is aware of what happened to Jerusalem in 70AD! AND THE FALSE PROPHECY TEACHERS KNOW THIS AS WELL! And they have purposely DESIGNED A DIFFERENT SCENARIO, for the purpose of DISCOUNTING THE PROFOUND FULFILLMENT OF THIS AWSESOME PROPHECY!

Apostate prophecy teachers want people to LOOK FOR THE WRONG SIGNS! They want people to think that the TEMPLE has to be RE-BUILT AGAIN, so that the ANTICHRIST can destroy it AGAIN! When Jesus planned for the Temple to be destroyed in 70AD, it was because, THE SACRIFICES WERE "DONE AWAY" THROUGH JESUS (when He died on the cross for our sins ONCE and FOR ALL)! AND JESUS WILL NOT RETURN TO WHAT "HE HAS FINISHED"!

This is why, in the book of Revelation, THERE ARE ONLY 42 MONTHS (3 1/2 years) MENTIONED! The Great Tribulation is the FINAL 3 1/2 YEARS LEFT OF "DANIEL'S 70 WEEKS OF YEARS PROPHECY TO ISRAEL"!

Remember how Jesus said "THIS GENERATION SHALL NOT PASS, TILL ALL OF THESE THINGS BE FULFILLED", (i.e.--the things Jesus mentioned about the destruction of the Temple)!

Many of the Apostles of Jesus DID live to see the "ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION" IN 70AD!

This is why the Apostles Paul, Peter, John, and Jude WARNED PEOPLE ABOUT THE COMING DESOLATION! And John (Book of I John) came right out and said that THE ANTICHRIST WAS ALREADY ALIVE! And the Antichrist WAS already alive---in the person of TITUS, whom the Bible predicted would COME BACK ALIVE AT THE END TIME, AND FINISH THE LAST 3-1/2 YEARS called "THE GREAT TRIBULATION"! And the Apostle John, in the book of Revelation, said that the ANTICHRIST would come back alive ("his deadly wound healed") "AT THE END TIME", and that the number of his name would equal 666!

The most famous leader of our time is WILLIAM CLINTON! And of all things, WILLIAM CLINTON'S NAME EQUALS 666 in the biblical "Hebrew Alphabet! (Please look for the "Hebrew Alphabet Numbering Chart" in the "Antichrist" category of this website! You will also find the Hebrew Alphabet in the BIBLE, in Psalms 119, paragraph headings!)

THE GREAT TRIBULATION..."TIME LINE"

The following is a SYNCHRONIZED list of the events which will occur (all on the same day) when the GREAT TRIBULATION "BEGINS"!

(1) Revelation 13:5; "And there was given unto him (Beast) a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and POWER was given to him to continue 42 MONTHS (3 1/2 years)."

(2) Revelation 11:3; "And I will give power unto my 2 WITNESSES, and they shall prophesy 1260 days (3 1/2 years) clothed in sackcloth."

(3) Revelation 12:6; "And the woman (144,000 sealed Jews, see Rev. 7:3-4) fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there 1260 days (3 1/2 years)."

So we see that on the SAME DAY the BEAST RISES, the 2 WITNESSES begin their preaching, and the 144,000 JEWS who believe the preaching of the 2 WITNESSES, right on the 1st day, have time to "flee from the Beast"! ALL THIS HAPPENS FROM THE 1ST DAY OF THE TRIBULATION, as the previous scriptures show! (Satan knows "he has but a short time"!)

Think about it, "on the VERY DAY" that the BEAST RISES, the 2 WITNESSES from God are RIGHT THERE PREACHING TO THE JEWS! And the Bible shows that on that VERY 1ST DAY, the 144,000 JEWS will instantly BELIEVE, and will have time to FLEE FROM THE BEAST! (Their "spiritual eyes" will be opened, as Romans 11 shows will happen after the "fullness of the Gentiles have come in" (i.e.-after the Rapture)!

But Revelation 12:17 also shows that the Jews who didn't believe on that 1st day, will be under attack from the Beast (Dragon)! But the Jews who finally believe, will be saved, even though they will face death for their faith in Jesus from that time forward (Rev. 14:12-13)! It is during this stage THE MARK OF THE BEAST will be ordered!

Please watch for further articles on The Great Tribulation!
