Hi everyone! I pray you all are well and blessed this week.
There is so much happening in our world! Just when one disaster winds down, it seems like another has been following close behind it. I really feel called to continue doing these weekly updates to inform you and I both as we watch for the Lord’s return. Also, in hopes of reaching those fence-sitters who need to fall over to the side of Christ in time! There are many of you out there possibly reading this who do not know if you are ready to meet the Lord should today be the day. I encourage you, if you do not know, visit this web site.
So I’m sitting here working on this week’s prophecy update and this tab opens in my browser that I didn’t open. I have no idea how it came to be open in front of me, but in case this is from the Lord, I’m sharing it here before our usual updates. It’s interesting so far:
Hello everyone! I hope you are all well, especially all of you in Texas and those of whom like me, have family and/or friends in the areas affected by Hurricane Harvey. What a traumatic week we in the US have had this week! That’s not to say that those outside the US haven’t been through a great deal as well, as our prophecy updates for this week will show.
In light of Hurricane Harvey (and Hurricane Irma brewing in the Atlantic), I encourage you to take a look at Bill Koenig’s book, “Eye to Eye: Facing the Consequences of Dividing Israel”. Also, if you are in a position to help those who were badly affected by Hurricane Harvey, I encourage you to visit the SAMARITAN’S PURSE website and make a donation to help. That’s run by Franklin Graham. Please be cautious of scams online and elsewhere and protect your gift by those taking advantage of this catastrophe and give to a source that is trusted and respected such as Samaritan’s Purse.
With that said, let’s get on with this week’s End of the Age Prophecy Updates! —>
(no new videos that I could find this week, but I really encourage you to follow his blog posts HERE and HERE).
Joel is very intelligent and up to date on current events involving Israel (where he and his family now live), the Middle East, Russia, and others. I own every book he’s written and have learned a great deal from him. You can find his books HERE, which I highly recommend!
Joel has a new book coming out in March called The Kremlin Conspiracy I’ve already pre-ordered on Amazon ? Check it out! –>
It’s the day after the Great American Eclipse and we are all still here 🙂 Life has gone on as it has and we are still awaiting the return of the King of kings! See my post about the eclipse here. So what do we prophecy watchers do now? Continue to watch! It hasn’t happened yet, but we are assured by the Bible that it WILL happen!
The Rapture MIGHT happen Monday during the eclipse! Don’t sneer –it just MIGHT 🙂
It might happen in my next breath. It might happen Tuesday or in September or two Septembers from now. The point is, it could happen ANY time. BE and STAY ready!
Just my two cents for those concerned that the Rapture will occur on Monday, during the eclipse:
We need to live every day as if Christ is returning that very day. No day should be less important to us than the one we are in right now. We are to watch, It could happen today or any day, but we cannot know the very day and hour. God gave us all the prophecy we need in the Bible. Any extra-Biblical prophecy isn’t necessary. He gave us enough. The point is: BE Ready!! STAY Ready!!
We can’t know WHEN EXACTLY it will happen, but it will happen! Be ready each and every day as if it will happen this very day because it just might!
It’s awesome to watch (Jesus told us to!!) BUT don’t pronounce that any given day will be THE day it will happen. Why? If the day you expect it to occur doesn’t happen, you will become discouraged (exactly what the enemy wants) and you will give the world a very bad testimony of Christians (again -the goal of the enemy). It’s enough that some unbelievers joke that those of us who believe in Bible prophecy are “tin-hat wearing” paranoid people (and worse). Don’t give them the ammunition!
Make sure you are ready to meet the Lord every day.
Make sure those around know have heard the gospel (good news)
Be loving and wise to have a good testimony to all.
We can’t know the DAY and the HOUR:
“But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.” –Mark 13:32-33
Still we will know the SEASON, otherwise Jesus would not have told us to WATCH:
“Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come.” –Matt. 24:42
We will not be in darkness referring to the Day of the Lord:
“Now, brothers and sisters, about times and dates we do not need to write to you, for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. While people are saying, “Peace and safety,”destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.But you, brothers and sisters, are not in darkness so that this day should surprise you like a thief.”
Hello everyone 🙂 Is everyone else getting ready for back to school or are your kiddos already back in school? This coming week is the last week of summer break for my son. It’s a financially tight summer for us or we’d go and do something special. My son is looking forward to school though. He can’t speak words (till the Lord’s timing…) but when I mention school he lights up. When I ask him if he likes school he does his cute nodding he’s developed these past few years 🙂 He may have autism, but he is smart and bright and very present. I couldn’t ask for a better-behaved and sweeter child if I wanted to. He is so good and sweet and loving.
In light of all the world news and the scare we all feel (and fight to not feel), I’m trying to cling to my faith and the blessings the Lord has given me like the gift of my son.
Are the rest of you winding down your summer and getting ready for back to school? Where did that summer go? I’m really thankful, however, that the summer here in north central Ohio was pretty mild. Last year it was a brutally hot summer. It’s nice to always find things to be thankful for! Another thing to be thankful for is this brings us one season closer to the Lord’s return. I know many of us are thankful for that and clinging to that blessed hope!
Are the rest of you winding up your summer activities and getting ready for back to school? Where did the summer go? ? I’m grateful that it was a fairly mild summer here in north central Ohio and not overwhelmingly hot like it was last year. There’s always something to be thankful for, isn’t there? We’re one week closer to the return of Jesus and the end of the age which ushers in God’s Kingdom with Jesus as the ruler of the earth. That’s definitely our blessed hope!
I was just made aware of this video and wanted to get it out to share it with you all. Please pray for this situation and similar ones and share it with others. God bless!
There is so much happening in the world today and I’ve found that there are many more sources than what I share here, but for time and space limitations this is what I offer us. I hope you glean from it and are educated Biblically and for your world view as we see the events in the world unfold through the lens of Bible prophecy.
I’ve had several things weighing on my mind this week and occasionally I have to stop and remind myself that this too shall pass. The big picture is unfolding all around us and the things of this world are “growing strangely dim” in the light of it all.
(no new videos this week, but check out his latest blog posts HERE and HERE)
You can get Joel’s new book, “Without Warning”, by clicking on the book image below. I just finished reading it recently and it’s awesome, as always. Like all of Joel’s books (and I own and have read them all) it’s awesome! Joel does not disappoint ?
