The Land Is Mine. Le. 25: 23. Fellow Grenadian! Visitors, brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus: Grace and peace to the beloved of the Lord; let us not lean on our own understanding, for these be the days of vengeance. Brothers; and sisters in Christ Jesus: These are terrible times, and for those who have been deceived by false Christs, and false prophets; they will even have a bigger problem, putting together the pieces, as to exactly what is happening right now; in the Middle East. World leaders do not understand. The Security Council: and the United Nations are out of touch with the reality of the situation. Those Phds have become irrelevant; and obsolete. They will never find their destination, because they are looking at the wrong Road Map. The church is also under a certain amount of stress; and confusion; because we were told that the only thing that has to happen now, is the taking away of the church. I have said it before; and will say it again, that this teaching is deceptive, and has no scriptural bearing; and that the fulfillment of scriptures will expose the nakedness of false Christs; and false prophets, before the church is taken away. Brothers; and sisters in Christ Jesus: Please do not listen to nonsense out there; but please, let the word of God be your perfect guide; and just believe what it says. Ask the Lord for wisdom, knowledge; and understanding; and last but not least divine revelations; and experience with God. And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them, saith the Lord thy God. Am.9:15. But fear not thou, O my servant Ja`cob, and be not dismayed, O Israel: for, behold, I will save thee from afar off, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and be in rest and at ease, and none shall make him afraid. Fear thou not, O Jacob my servant, saith the Lord: for I am with thee: for I will make a full end of all the nations whither I driven thee: but I will not make a full end of thee, but correct thee in measure; yet will I not leave thee wholly unpunished. Je.46: 27 & 28. (NB. The part of the sentence that says: "and none shall make him afraid.)" Brothers and sisters, in Christ Jesus: It is estimated that Israel has between 100 - 200 atomic weapons. Thou art my battle axe and weapons of war; for with thee will I break in peaces the nations, and with thee will I destroy kingdoms. Je.51:20. I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Je-hosh`aphat, and will plead with them there for my people and my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land. Joel. 3: 2. The Lord also shall roar out of Zi`on, and utter his voice from Je-ru'sa-lem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the Lord will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel. Joel.3: 16. Brothers; and sisters, in Christ Jesus. Let me tell you from the scriptures, what is my understanding of the sequence of events that are about to unfold; according to the scriptures. Most eschatologists believe that the destruction of Damascus is eminent; and this I believe is true, as described by the prophet Isaiah. 17: 1-14. This means that before the tribulation begins, Damascus, the capital of Syria would be destroyed. Psalms: 83. is also showing that a number of Arab nations are also destroyed by God. We see in that Psalm, that a multi- national Arab task force was assembled, against Israel; (they are confederates against thee. Ps.83. Verses. 5.) And these were also destroyed by God. It would seem however; that whatever is the sequence of events, that Iran survives; and lives to fight another day; as they join the Russians and a number of other Arab States to attack Israel. In Ezekiel Chapters,38 & 39. Iran is known as Persia. In Jeremiah 49: they are known as Elam. Some eschatologist believes, that the battle described in Eze. 38 & 39 takes place shortly after the great tribulation begins; but I will advise them to take a refreshers course with a Holy Ghost teacher: because no one touches Israel after that seven year peace treaty is signed. However, war is declared on Israel by the son of perdition who breaks the treaty after three and a half years. In Ezekel 38 & 38, Iran and a number of Arab States; with Russia are destroyed; and God Almighty is glorified by the heathen; and by Israel. (Please read Eze. 38: 23 & Eze.39: 21,22,23, and 27.) Brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus: All these things, takes place before the great tribulation; or Daniel's Seventieth Week: and I also have scriptural reasons to believe, that the building of the temple begins sometime before the Seven Year Peace Treaty is signed by Israel. Having now been reinforced with the idea that God is with them; and their enemies being defeated, they will then proceed to build the temple. Every eschatologist should know: that the glory that God receives, after the destruction of the armies in Ezekiel. 38 & 39, that, that glory would not have been obtained; if the 666 man, was already in control. Therefore I believe, it will happen before the son of perdition comes; and that is before the great tribulation begins. The bible says: and all the world wondered after the beast / saying, who is like unto the beast? Who is able to make war with him? Re.13:3 & 4. (Portions of verses, 3&4.) It must be noted in the wars fought before, that the Lord did not call, for the gathering of all the nations; as is done in Joel.3: 2. and as is done in Zec.14: 2. Therefore the final and conclusive battles, after the first three and a half years of the great tribulation, is a different scenario. In fact the tribulation period is made up of two hectic periods (1) Persecution, and (2) Wrath of God. To be continued... BY.
