The Daily WATCH! LastDay.info

Yesterday the Israeli press reported Israeli President Shimon Peres observed that the Palestinian territories are already a state in practice. Peres is speaking the truth, this is something he has worked towards for some time. When Israel built the separation fence largely along the pre-1967 war boundaries, initiated by former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, it not only separated the two peoples, but allowed the Palestinians greater autonomy. This autonomy includes their own police and military units, political elections, etc. These concessions fell just short of recognizing a Palestinian state legally.

Enter Prime Minister Netanyahu. He has declared that Israel will follow the two-state solution. By doing this Israel has recognized the Palestinian State and has renounced ownership of her inheritance lands. All that is left is the final legal proceedings, treaties and document signings, but the fact is that Israel has permanently exchanged her inheritance lands for peace. Israel has rebelled against God’s covenant by entering a covenant with death.

In Jordan the smoke screen negotiations have concluded their latest round. Back in 2002 I wrote that the state boundaries between Israel and a future Palestine will run along the separation fence. Recently the Palestinians have been demanding that Israel declare her intended borders before they will negotiate further. This week Israel complied by declaring the lines that run mostly along the separation fence to be their intended border!

Israel is in rebellion, condemned not only by facts on the ground, but by their declarations and the final legal hagglings of crossed T’s and dotted I’s.

During all of this Iran’s leadership has declared that the Mahdi they are waiting for is present and only waiting for the right events to be put in place for him to go public. Iran is a proud nation, they are an ancient people. They will not be brow-beaten easily into compliance with Western (US) demands. The sanctions are taking their toll, and the big stick hanging over Iran’s head is growing larger as more carrier groups assemble in Middle Eastern waters. Expect Iran to take the world to the edge of the Abyss, but not over . . . not quite yet. There may be small military exchanges, but not outright war, again, not yet. Russia will politically come to Iran’s rescue at the UN. Iran will accept a renewed offer by Russia to refine her uranium for her. Iran and Russia will propose a moratorium on Iranian uranium enrichment that can be revisited in seven years. The West will accept this. Look for the Antichrist to take a leading role in these negotiations . . . the rest of the story can be found in Daniel chapter 9 . . .

Many of you reading this have by now heard that Moscow has declared an attack on Iran is an attack on Russia. I have already warned about this for years now, but it is important that we recognize Russia’s now open support for Shiite Islam. This support is not only for the Shiite majority in Iran, but the Shiite minorities in Iraq, and Lebanon and the minority Alawite (Shiite sect) that presently rules Syria.

This warning from Russia should not be ignored since it is an open statement that reveals a security arrangement that should have surprised no one. All that is left is for it to become an officially recognized alliance. This will soon be accomplished when Iran becomes a member of the Shanghai Security Organization (SCO), the eastern world’s answer to NATO. When Iran becomes a member of the SCO it will be in an alliance that includes not only Russia, but also China and other Asian nations! Russia’s bold security commitment to Iran and thus an implied Iranian SCO membership will fulfill the Daniel prophecies of a future kingdom in the north in conflict with a southern kingdom.

The Sunnis, presently following the lead of Saudi Arabia, are unifying their resistance and war-making capabilities against Shiite regional hegemony. These efforts are monetarily, politically and militarily supported by the United States. The United States has hidden its support of Sunni Islam against Shiite Islam under a much thinner veil than that of Russia. These new/old world alliances look and act just as those previous multinational alliances that preceded World Wars One and Two.

Israel has unilaterally acted against her inheritance and thus God’s covenant by entering legal commitments (Oslo Accords among others) to give her lands in exchange for peace and security with an enemy that is pledged to her utter destruction . . . the Antichrist will soon be revealed by this rebellion. . . the end-times are upon us!

2012 seems to be building up as another big year for predictions. Most of us know about the Mayan calendar prediction that would see the end of us this year. Many of us experiencing the disintegrating economic and political situation around the world are probably sensitive to predictions of global depression and political chaos. As if we haven’t had our fill of war the forecasters of doom are pointing to possible future wars involving various and diverse nations such as, but not limited to, Iran, Syria, Saudi Arabia, China, India, etc.

It is indeed getting more difficult every passing year to maintain the bright outlook for the future held by the brighter tomorrow crowd. The days are growing darker, and each year that passes now reminds us that many gloomy predictions are indeed coming true. Fortunately for most, not all such predictions do come true, but nevertheless, enough do that we have to be very careful that we do not too readily pass them off until we give them proper evaluation based on truth.

2011, like most years of late, was a year that started out with gloomy predictions. Economically, politically and freedom-wise many of the negative predictions came to pass. We are poorer and less free than when we started 2011. Like the proverbial frog in the pot, most of us are growing numb to the intensifying heat of life around us. Others are too quick to ignore such predictions. Who can blame them? Anyone who correctly understood their Bible would have found Harold Camping’s math-based prophecy about the second coming of Jesus Christ on both May 21st, and October 17th to be utter nonsense. But many people believed him. Indeed, Mr. Camping did much damage to the legitimacy of the body of Christ in the opinions of the unsaved world. But good came of it too! Many people got out their Bibles, blew the years of accumulated dust off of them and began to read for themselves what the Scriptures have to say, rather than relying on the study and teachings conducted by others.

On Lastday.info I provide a veritable smorgasbord of information about the end times and events of the day. I have occasionally crossed that fine line between furnishing what the reader needs to get started digging into Scripture for themselves, just as we are supposed to do, and spoon-feeding the information to people who are only interested in having other people think for them, seek God’s face for them, and generally believe and have faith for them. When I cross that fine line I end up beating myself up for it . . . it’s called a “guilty conscience”. I suffer from the guilt at first because I feel justified going in-depth about various subjects for the benefit of my brothers and sisters. It is only when I repent of taking ministry farther than stipulated by God that I am given peace on the matter once again.

This doesn’t mean that I finally get it straight and do the right thing from then on. Nope. Sometimes I get so excited about what I see that I get carried away (revelation from God is a stimulant not easily handled by mortals). In 2011 I made this mistake and repented of it several times. In each of these episodes, save one, no damage was done other than having to wean more spoon-feeders from their expectations of me. But one episode stood out from the rest. You see, when you are in the type of ministry I am you have to be very careful to only deliver the message without distracting those you are ministering to with things that draw their attention away from what God feels is important about the message. In large part I understand and practice this, but last year I believe I blew it!

In my post “COUNTDOWN TO SHOWTIME” I gave more than I should have and I muddied the message to the point that I know I confused many readers. The emails I received only served to confirm this and to rub my conscience raw with the guilt that already burdened me. You see, the message I was to convey was simple, “The covenant with death is already happening, it is a work in progress”. What I did was take the message and build connections to it for the reader, so that in my opinion at the time, they would be able to see the bigger picture. This works fine when teaching secular things, but not so well with the spiritual things of God. In spoon-feeding the message I wasn’t helping anyone, and I was disobeying God. Worse, I changed the focus. For example, one connection in the post is about the Al Mahdi emerging from the Hajj. No matter how many times I emphasized that this was a Shiite Muslim prophecy, not Bible, and so it should not be taken too seriously people just stayed focused on it as if it was gospel. Naturally when the Mahdi didn’t emerge from the Hajj people started asking me where he was. They had been completely distracted from the message about the covenant with death by a Satanic prophecy used by me because I wrongly thought I could shed more light on the subject! I understood it, but that isn’t an “okay” from God to give it to others!
I said in the post that by the Fall of 2011 the covenant of death will occur. No, there has not been any official announcement. No, Israel and the Palestinians are still seething at each other. But nevertheless the covenant is in place. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has publicly committed Israel to a two-state solution. Israel has already withdrawn from covenant lands so that the Palestinians could occupy them. Israel even now is demolishing Israeli settlements on land already ceded to the Palestinians in past agreements. UNESCO has recognized the Palestinians as a member nation. The covenant with death is already being carried out. All that is left is for the smoke and mirror “negotiation” show to take place.

But alas, I have failed you, the reader. I did not give such vital mileposts as signs . . . no, I distracted you with foods that you could not and should not have eaten. Ten years ago when God called me to start Lastday.info, a month after the treachery of 9/11, I decided that I would only give what God gave me. Whatever insight, wisdom, prophecy or knowledge He extended to this imperfect tool would be delivered as He wanted me to. I promised myself that if I ever caused damage by going beyond my Heavenly mandate then I would stop such ministry until my Father finished chastising me and allowed me the peace to continue . . . if ever.

Until further notice I will withhold the Daily Watch aspect of the Lastday.info ministry. I am not taking down the ministry from the Internet, but I will cease writing until, or if, Yahweh imparts to me otherwise. You will not be alone or left in the dark, as some of you have stated to me. You have Yahweh and His Son, our Savior Y’shua (Jesus). Through their Spirit and their Word you cannot be lost or in darkness . . . you have only to seek and you shall find.

Former Israeli Prime Minister Olmert and Palestinian Fatah Leader Abbas

The media is focused on the UNESCO vote for Palestinian membership as if it were an astonishing breakthrough. This, no doubt, due to the media’s evolution from guardian of freedom to telling us what to think.

The UNESCO vote was basically meaningless in terms of forcing anything new with Israel. Like I have been saying, this smoke and mirror illusion was for mass consumption . . . Abbas, Netanyahu and Obama are hedging their election day bets. Politicians never do anything without considering the next election, and all three of these gentlemen have their necks on the block.

So, why go for a meaningless vote at UNESCO? And why did UNESCO risk the loss of major US funding?
Like I have written before, Abbas, his Fatah political organization, Israel, and the Quartet need to get rid of Hamas who presently rules the Gaza strip. Hamas is a deal-breaker for everybody concerned behind the closed doors. Hamas will not concede a single requirement of Israel’s demands, namely that Israel be recognized as a Jewish state. So, every time Abbas gains legitimacy as head of the Palestinian people at the world forum of the UN it costs Hamas what little legitimacy it had ever gained from its rigged elections in Gaza.
The second reason to seek UNESCO membership is coupled with the Security Council vote on membership. Both are steps to ready the world for a State of Palestine. This is not going to happen by declaring it at the UN, but are moves that when Israel and the Palestinians make their agreement will rubber stamp it with UN approval, and without worry of a US veto. This will accelerate the move to statehood before opponents can mount an effective resistance to it.
UNESCO dared risk funding cuts, because when Israel and the Palestinians make their agreement it will all become a moot point anyways . . . there is a lot of eye winking going on in the corridors of power these days.

This brings us to the title of this post. It is true, things are about to change drastically! If you are regularly reading this blog I wrote, to much scoffing, that Israel will get the green light via the UN and Fatah to get rid of Hamas. Today both the Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman and the Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak declared that Hamas has to be removed.

It has become so common that it attracts little attention anymore, but again Israel is being hit with multiple rocket attacks from Gaza. The attacks not only left many Israelis wounded, but a man was also killed. Israel took an immediate offensive posture and attacked the terror cells firing the rockets, killing a number of terrorists in the process. What has also been revealed is that the terrorists are using multiple rocket launchers smuggled in from Libya!

Israel has endured many such attacks and loss of citizens over the decades with generally little more response than the same type of surgical airstrikes as seen this week. Why the sudden call for an offensive posture by Prime Minister Netanyahu? Why warnings against Hamas’s existence by Israel President Peres? Why would FM Lieberman say, “”The goal of the State of Israel should be to take down the Hamas regime in Gaza, they must be taken down and as soon as possible.”? Why would the Defense Minister claim that Israel has no intention of returning to Gaza? It is because Israel plans to clean out Hamas so that Fatah can move in.

Yes, things will drastically change. When Hamas is driven out of power in Gaza and Fatah finishes its state building ventures at the UN then the smoke will clear and Israel and the Palestinians will be seen shaking hands over an agreement that will be very grievous for Israel . . . very grievous indeed!

Answer: 1027 released terrorists.

The Shiite Muslim world is heralding Hamas’s trade of one IDF captive for 1027 of their jailed terrorists as a stunning victory over Israel. Many Israelis themselves understand that the release of so many with harmful intentions against Israel and blood on their hands will only lead to more spilled blood. Most western governments are applauding the deal, but for vague reasons. The rest of humanity is just plain scratching their heads in disbelief. How could Israel stoop so low? Is the life of one soldier worth the cost of future lives at the hands of those who are being released? The whole thing just doesn’t seem to make sense.
Israel is just saying they felt they are getting a good deal, and are focused on the soldier Shalit’s life as being worth it, although the Israeli Defense Force troops feel otherwise.

Now for the real reason Israel made such a disproportionate swap:

Hamas has used Shalit’s life as a bargaining chip against Israel for 5 years now. Israel has had to be very careful in how they conducted themselves against Hamas so as not to endanger Shalit’s life. On the other hand Hamas could have easily killed Shalit and then held his remains for a swap of a dozen to a hundred prisoners, but Hamas realized that Shalit was their “get out of jail card” when playing with Israel. So Hamas held Shalit until an opportunity might present itself in which Shalit was worth more alive than dead.
Why did Hamas use their bargaining chip now? If you have been reading this blog then you know that Palestinian leader Abbas’s efforts to seek UN membership as an independent state was actually a cleverly crafted scheme to push Hamas out of the circle of legitimacy on the international stage. This move by Abbas has the effect of nullifying Hamas’s conditions and demands at the negotiating table with Israel. Hamas is adamant that they will not negotiate a final two-state solution, give up the right of return for Arab refugees or recognize Israel as a legitimate Jewish state. Fatah has shown more flexibility on these issues, even though they take a seemingly tough stance. This tough stance is to placate the Palestinian people who might aspire to the more hardline position of Hamas. Now only the PLO/Fatah is seen internationally as the legitimate representatives of the Palestinian people. This also fulfills international agreements that have already established the PLO as the only Palestinian representative. Being viewed by nearly the entire world, with the exception of Iran and few others, as an occupying and illegitimate terror group, Hamas knows its days are numbered. It has been actively seeking a new exile home since Syria is no longer considered a safe sanctuary state for Shiite terror organizations. They know they will have to leave Gaza sooner or later. To postpone as long as possible they are playing all of their cards now. Their last and best being Shalit. In exchange for their last bargaining chip they will bolster their ranks by springing their most loyal members from Israeli prisons in an effort to stave off the inevitable collapse of their rule over Gaza.
Israel is partnering with Fatah and Abbas against Hamas. Both see Hamas as the only impediment to final negotiations. It is in Fatah’s favor to eliminate Hamas so that when they have their state they will not have political competition. Israel has even expressed its intent to scourge Gaza of Hamas so that Fatah can govern there as well. When this is done then Israel and the Palestinians will conclude their two-state final status talks that are prophesied by Isaiah as the covenant with death.

Did Israel get a good deal? That depends on how you view it. Yes, if the main goal was to remove any leverage Hamas may hold over Israel and Fatah. But when it comes to the bigger picture then no, Israel’s efforts at marginalizing Hamas in favor of Fatah so that she can give away her covenant lands to her enemies is simply picking the perceived lessor of two evils. Israel holds the high ground. As long as Israel obeys God then He will protect Israel. Israel has no need to make deals with enemies who hate the apple of God’s eye! But alas, Israel would rather have peace with her enemies than peace with God.

The world is arming at an unprecedented rate. Unprecedented in that historically nothing can compare, not either of the build-ups prior to WWI or WWII . . . not even the Cold War if we consider the technological increases in our ability to kill others that is being sold to nearly anyone who will pay, and pay they do, or the proliferation of nuclear weapons among those more willing to use them than were the USA or USSR!

The last world war has been underway for over a decade now. It is not recognizable as such when compared with previous world wars. That is in large part because this war is still in its early stages of alliance formation, political unions and proxy wars. Nevertheless, all of the belligerents prophesied by God in the Bible are preparing for a truly massive global war. There are even reports coming from undisclosed sources in the Pentagon that the military is now preparing for a conventional tank-on-tank war that when these preparations are taken into account promises to be very big indeed!

When this war escalates it will not stop until the Kingdom of Jesus Christ is established at His second coming. For the believer it is important to know what you are watching and what to watch for, most of us will definitely be caught up in the tumult that will soon engulf the world. When God gives prophecy you know it is a done deal, it will happen. When Satan gives a prophecy it is a declaration of his intentions. When Satan’s prophecies agree with God’s then you know God will allow Satan to do what he intends in order to fulfill God’s purposes.

With that in mind, I find it prudent to remind the reader that I have stated in the past in this ministry that the spirit of Islam is the spirit of the Antichrist. When Islam prophesies it is Satan’s telegraphed intentions. Satan poses as if he were a spirit of light. He accomplishes this by posing as if he was God himself. I pray and beg for my fellow human beings enslaved by the darkness of Islam that you will come to the light of Christ’s love and be saved from that which will come upon the world when His kingdom comes! I do not ask you to come to a Christianity that has lost its light, a lukewarm presence that now dominates the West. I would never ask you to come to a polytheistic religion that espouses three separate gods knowing your adherence to the truth of only one God. Jesus is one aspect of God, even He said He is one with the Father. Syrup drips from Satan’s lips, he will state much truth in order to establish one lie! Come to Christ and He will open your eyes to the toxic elixir Islam offers.
Shiite Islam, considered apostate by the larger Sunni Muslim world, foretells of the coming Al Mahdi, their savior. So do the Sunnis, but it is the Shiites that have taken it into a whole new sect devoted to his coming. The Shiites believe he is now present in the world and are preparing for him to be revealed. As I have said numerous times in this ministry, when Israel rebels against God’s covenant He established with Abraham by entering a covenant with death by giving her inheritance lands to her enemies then the man of lawlessness will soon be revealed. In my post COUNTDOWN TO SHOWTIME I reveal that the covenant with death will be entered into by Israel this fall. The Hajj, the Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca by both Sunni and Shiite, starts November 4th. There, as I have shared what God has shown me, the Al Mahdi (Antichrist to Christians) will be revealed in the bloodbath that will result from immense conflict between the Sunnis and the Shiites, this is in agreement with Shiite Satan-inspired prophecy. I have also revealed that the King of the South is forming his union anchored by Egypt, as prophesied by Daniel.

In this context one must understand what the Shiites are expecting to happen according to their prophecies. They expect that a great army will march from Damascus and clash with an army under black banners led by the Al Mahdi at the Iraqi/Iranian border. He will be triumphant against this foe and drive him back.
How does that translate into today? The Iranian Revolutionary Guard marches under a black banner. Iran’s leaders say that the Al Mahdi is now present and will soon be revealed. Syria, currently an Iranian ally due to being led by Assad, minority Shiite, will come under a new government led by her Sunni majority, and thus making Syria an enemy of Iran and a friend of all Sunnis under the threat of Shiite domination. Western powers will lend support to their Sunni allies in the Middle East by helping with the overthrow of Assad’s government. Iran has threatened hostilities if this happens. Most believe that aggression will be aimed at Israel, but even if some of it is it will only be a diversion as Iran invades Iraq to support Iraq’s Shiite population while increasing the suppression of Iraq’s Sunni minority. The new Sunni government in Damascus will march to the aid of their Sunni brothers in Iraq at the behest and support of other Sunni nations and the West. This will lead to a crucial battle at Iran’s border that will launch the tyranny of the Al Mahdi/Antichrist. The Syrian/Sunni army will be crushed, an event that will galvanize the Sunni nations to the south and setting the stage for the most fearsome battles of WWIII that will lead to other prophesied events and the end of the age.

To many people Hades is synonymous with Hell. This is largely due to a blending of Greek mythology with modern “Christian” interpretations that are passed on without question.

Is truly is a sad fact that so few people who see themselves as believers understand that Hades and Hell are two distinctly different things. Hades is the holding place of the dead. The Bible tells us that it has a great chasm that divides it. The chasm prevents anyone from going to one side or the other. On one side the righteous ones of God rest after death. It is here that Jesus talks of Abraham with the poor man Lazarus resting upon his bosom. This place is called Paradise. It is the place Jesus went to for the three days after his death and promised the repentant thief on the cross that he would join Him that day.

The other side of the chasm in Hades is a place of judgment and punishment for all who are not God’s children. This place can also be seen in the Bible where Jesus depicts the rich man who has died and gone there to begin his punishment.

In contrast, Hell, or Topheth in the Old Testament, is a place that has been prepared for the guilty as a final judgment. It is not in use yet. It is reserved for after the first and second resurrections. Boy, have I given you some Bible study to do!

The reason why I found it necessary to make the distinction has to do with the title I chose for this post, TAKING ON THE GATES OF HADES. Jesus, when establishing the church upon the rock of Peter declared that the gates of Hades would not prevail against it. This can be a very confusing statement to those who do not understand the differences between Hades and Hell.

It has always been well understood that the Church, the body of true believers, has overcome death through the blood of Jesus Christ shed on the cross on their behalf. Obviously we all die, but once dead we can’t change our affiliation with God between belief and unbelief. In other words death has you and you go where you belong! If you are found righteous by the blood of Christ then death has no power to send you to punishment, so your fear of death and its consequences are erased, Paradise and then the kingdom to come are your destination. Since death is powerless over the believer then it is also powerless against the Church. In other words the gates of Hades, the bastion of death, cannot prevail against the Church. In contrast, Hell is not a bastion of death, but of eternal punishment of the enemies of God. Yes, by overcoming death we also overcome eternal Hell, but there is more to it than that.

Death is the ceasing of physical life, but in the Bible there is also the spiritual dead and an angel of death appropriately named Death. In the Bible Death is not considered a good angel. In fact he will eventually also be thrown into the lake of fire known as Hell. In the book of Revelation we see both Death and Hades riding a pale horse having a grand time killing lots of people. No, it is not the gates of Hell that the Church prevails against, but demonic princes and their human sons and daughters of darkness. Jesus considered all living people that were not righteous to be dead already even though still physically alive. Believers of the Church are to prevail against Death, and the culture of death sweeping over the world in its bid to establish its global kingdom of darkness. We do not just defeat death when we die, but we are to prevail against it in this life as well. Life is light that comes from God, but death is the darkness where evil dwells.

It is interesting that Google recently announced they were putting the Dead Sea Scrolls online. One of the original scrolls depicted war between the sons of light and the sons of darkness. What most don’t realize is that this scroll is nearly universally interpreted as not referring to the Apocalypse. In other words it is not a prophecy, but a depiction of the conflict they were enduring in Judea at that time and the epic struggle between light and dark, life and death, good and evil, throughout time. The darkness cannot be dark in the presence of light. Those who do not hide their light under a bowel will cast light upon the darkness and evil is revealed. The walking dead, those who work for Death, will recoil from the light, they hate it. The brighter it is the more they gnash their teeth and the hastier their retreat!

When questioned, most Christians view the Church as a bastion, a place of refuge in a dark and evil world. They see Jesus’ establishment of the Church as a fortress from which we can withstand attacks from the gates of Hades. This is absolutely wrong, and is the exact thinking that has allowed the world to descend into the darkness of the present time. The church has covered its light with the bowl of its buildings. Gates are found on a fortified place to keep enemies out, they are defensive in nature. Gates do not attack. Therefore Hades is a defensive bastion, a fortress, and the Church is actually the attacker. Through watered down teachings the Church went from the offensive against evil, death and darkness to defending their shrinking enclaves from its growing power.

What happens when the attacker holes up in its own bastions, such as church buildings and social circles, satisfied that good holds sway over the world due to the victories against darkness by believers of previous generations? What happens when it does not press the attack as vigorously as the zealous spiritual warriors of the past, but instead rests on their laurels? It is then that the dead gain confidence and darkness begins to spread. At first they begin small forays outside their gates. When the light is dim and offers little real threat they begin to range further. They augment and grow their numbers with those who no longer believe because of the adulteration of the truth. Before long it is they that attack the attackers. Even now they lay siege to groups of believers in their little church buildings and religious cliques. Look around, light is under devastating assault because it will not throw off the bowl that robs the world of light and march boldly out against the darkness in the name of their king!

Wherever darkness is found it must be confronted with light! Good must do battle with darkness. In every aspect of every part of your life, work, home and play, we must seek out darkness and press a determined attack upon it until we are unconditionally victorious! Do not let the sophists interpret the way you read the Bible, their father is a liar! Wherever they dare bear the sword, in word, writing, law or physically, the believer must rise up to meet the offense and vanquish the foe!

Remember, this is not about you. Self is the motive of darkness. We are children of light, we fight for truth, justice, mercy and love. What we want or what happens to us is of little concern, to have faith is to know that the Father knows best on how to use what He created, leave those concerns to Him. The double-edged sword of truth will cut them deep, do not heed their deceptive cries for tolerance. Do not let their hurt feelings sway you. Do not let them define love, our King wrote the book! Except to lay down one’s life for another, what greater love than to tell the truth and champion its goodness and purity so that evil is stopped and its bearer given the opportunity to repent and correct themselves? They would use your kindness and love against you. Send darkness back into the Abyss!

When you gain victory offer the vanquished your hand of love. If they accept and humble themselves to the truth then clean and bind their wounds. Build them up and teach them the sweetness of the fellowship of light. If they cast down your olive branch then carry on without them. They will see your mercy as a weakness. They will attack again, respond with the overwhelming firepower of truth! Do not let up until darkness flees from light’s presence. Watch yourselves. Individually they are cowards, but in groups they are like a pack of wild dogs. Do not be afraid, God is with you! With just two or three gathered in Christ’s name you will find Jesus with them. One will put ten to flight, ten will put a thousand to flight!

It is time, nay past time, that we stop inviting darkness into our fellowships and our lives! It is time that we renew the reason we meet together in the name of Christ. It is not to simply worship together while evil shrills in the darkness outside the walls, but to build each other up, to reinforce the faith of our spiritual comrades, don our spiritual armor and then advance against the darkness and show the world that the light has not left this world! We will not go quietly into the night! We will destroy the night with the light of truth! It is time to drive back the forces of death, evil and darkness to the gates from where they slithered. Then we must batter down those gates and never relent. The moment we do they will slither out again!

Jesus told us that “he who stands firm to the end will be saved”. Answer the trumpet’s blast and rally to the King, we will surely prevail!

. . . the people who know their God will firmly resist . . .
Daniel 11:32

Today Israeli Vice Prime Minister Silvan Shalom is being reported as saying, “Today it is not just Kassams being fired at Sderot and the Gaza Belt, but much more lethal missiles . . . . We must do all that we can, including ground invasion, targeted killings, and damage to infrastructure . . .”
The vice prime minister was referring to the Hamas controlled Palestinian enclave of Gaza. As I posted only yesterday, Abbas’s UN speech was designed to address internal Palestinian politics. I said that Israel will soon be given the green light to invade Gaza to eliminate Hamas’s power and make room for the PLO to consolidate control.

Hamas knows that this is checkmate for them. They were pleading for unity between the PLO and Hamas today (Note: Fatah is the political arm of the PLO), but it will fall on deaf ears . . . the PLO has delivered Hamas’s death certificate at the UN. We will see much of Hamas’s leadership go into hiding when Vice Prime Minister Silvan Shalom gets his “targeted killings”.

If only Israel was contemplating doing this to actually defend the land rather than playing, “The enemy of my enemy is my friend”.

Many of you are scratching your heads over just what the Palestinians are thinking. What was the real point of submitting an application to the UN Security Council for full state recognition and member status? There has been no shortage of analysis of this overly telegraphed move, both from real analysts and the armchair variety.

The overwhelming conclusion has taken a decidedly pro-Palestinian bent. Most conclusions seem to agree that this was a grieved and oppressed people who, finding no negotiating partner in Israel, decided on a desperate unilateral gamble to achieve their dreams via a consensus vote of the international community.

I’m not going to enter the swirling whirlpools of biased speculative thought. Those that dwell there are dead wrong. The big picture of Bible prophecy combined with a good understanding of Middle Eastern history, and topped off with a general knowledge of cultural and religious tradition, teachings and opinions is sufficient to draw much better conclusions than the constant stream of drivel coming at us from the news media. These people don’t report news, they make news they want you to consume!

Above and beyond these crucial criteria is the need to realize that we need the Holy Spirit of YAHWEH to open our eyes and guide us in all understanding, something the news-making media obviously lacks. I’m taking this long-about way of getting to the meat of the matter because it is more important than ever to sever all trust in what the world would have us believe. After all, our belief should be influenced what YAHWEH confirms as truth, not by the leading of blind guides.

The simple matter regarding the Palestinian actions is that this is a done deal as I have foretold in “COUNTDOWN TO SHOWTIME“. All of these actions are the smoke and mirrors needed by all the various parties to pull the wool over the eyes of their respective constituencies. The Palestinian move at the UN is a prime example of this. This move was not intended against Israel. Surprised? You shouldn’t be. This move is the result of a power struggle in the Palestinian leadership. The PLO and Hamas are both claiming to be the leadership of the Palestinians. Israel, the USA, and other important players all recognize the PLO as the only legitimate governing representative of the Palestinian people. That is the point most strongly made in Abbas’s speech at the UN! But it is a point lost to the blind who concentrated on the anti-Israel lies throughout the entire speech. Abbas knows he is lying. He did so in order to appear to the Palestinian people and the rest of the Arab and Muslim world to be standing up to Israel and the West. Since Hamas was voted into power in Gaza by the people Abbas needed a legal framework that would give the PLO sole authority while eliminating Hamas’s, and thus Iran’s, influence on final status negotiations.
It has been a very impressive show. In one single move Abbas firmly established the PLO as the only legitimate authority. Hamas, fully against Abbas’s declaration, and for good reasons of their own, is now relegated to the permanent status of a minority player destined to be pushed back to the margins from whence they came. This is a soon-to-be-activated green light for Israel to go into Gaza and clean them out for Abbas and the PLO. Hamas will bring this upon themselves when they take up firing rockets at Israel again.

Hamas, an Iranian Shiite proxy, was the real obstacle to negotiations and now being removed from influence will make negotiations much easier for Abbas. Watch for a growing conciliatory response from Abbas towards Israel. Rest assured, negotiations are basically completed and they are regularly talking in secret, coordinating their parts of this drama for the cameras with the USA.

Netanyahu is gaining increasing popularity in Israel as he appears to be truly looking after the interests of his people. But listen to his words! He is begging Abbas back to the negotiating table. He repeatedly emphasizes the two-state solution as the de-facto policy of Israel. The prime minister of Israel is declaring the giveaway of her covenant lands from God as the final solution to peace and security! Israel is begging her enemies to help her go to her destruction!

The land does not belong to Israel. It belongs to YAHWEH! Israel cannot give away what does not belong to her and will be severely punished when she recognizes a Palestinian state on the covenant land. It is in this way Israel is begging to be destroyed!

No one can make Israel give up covenant lands. Yahweh would never hold that against Israel nor would He allow it to happen. But if Israel willingly rebels against the covenant by entering into a new covenant with her enemies regarding the same land stipulated in her covenant with YAHWEH then she will fulfill Isaiah’s prophecy of the “covenant with death” and will initiate her own punishment and near annihilation!

No, the Palestinians cannot declare a state and expect to pull it off, they know this. The purpose of this move was to remove the hardcore Islamic stumbling block of Hamas in order for Israel’s few requirements to be met and her fate to be sealed.

. . . to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.” And the four angels who had been kept ready for this very hour and day and month and year were released to kill a third of mankind. The number of the mounted troops was two hundred million. I heard their number.  The horses and riders I saw in my vision looked like this: Their breastplates were fiery red, dark blue, and yellow as sulfur. . . Revelation 9:14-17

Read the Bible prophecy above carefully. Allow its meaning to fully seep into your mind and then look again at the picture above. The banner pictured above is the original banner used by the Shanghai Cooperative Organization (SCO). I have been writing and warning about the SCO since 2006 (PLEASE CLICK AND READ). What I warned about is now coming to pass. Russia, the primary principality of Gog and Magog, the chief princes (spiritual, not the Antichrist) of that region, has announced that they are entering security agreements with Iran and that it can be presumed that Iran will now be elevated from observer status in the SCO to full-fledged member!

It is crucial to understand that this will give Iran the full military protection of the other SCO members. The SCO is primarily a mutual military defense alliance. The SCO is taking preemptive steps to protect Iran from what has happened to Libya and what might possibly happen to Syria. Once a member Israel, the USA, NATO or anyone else will not be able to attack Iran without the implicit reality that they will have attacked all of the SCO member nations.

The SCO is the foundation of the beast’s empire. The timing is prophetically perfect. Israel is scheduled this month or next to rebel against God’s covenant with Abraham and his descendents by giving away her inheritance in exchange for peace. This is called by Isaiah the “covenant with death”. The problem is twofold: First, the land belongs to God. Israel is just a tenant. Second, to give her inheritance away is to despise it, just as Esau despised his inheritance for a bowel of stew.
The rebellion of Israel against the covenant will result in two things: Michael the Archangel, Israel’s chief prince (spiritual), will be withdrawn up to heaven leaving Israel without protection. The second event will be the revealing of the beast to those with eyes to see and ears to hear. I have warned long before books on the subject became recently popular that the Islamic Mahdi and the biblical Antichrist are one and the same. The Shiite Muslim leadership of Iran has already declared that the Mahdi is present and soon will be revealed. Muslim prophecy (Satan’s counterfeit) says that the Mahdi will be publicly revealed at the Hajj (Click and read). The Hajj this year starts on November 4th.

Meanwhile the king of the South, the prophesied evil opponent of the evil king of the North (Antichrist/Mahdi) is forming his prophesied empire with the help of so-called Western democracies.

For those who will receive it, this last quarter of the year 2011 is the approximate beginning of the last seven years of the age!

The next 3-4 years are going to be very rough, but compared to the 3.5 years that follow them it will be like a walk in the park! If you haven’t prepared for the storm that is coming, you do not have much time. To the faithful: Take courage! “He who stands firm to the end will be saved.”
