Trump Nails It At CPAC - Declass Incoming - March Madness - Monday, March 6, 2023 15:16 - Nothing is random, everything has meaning. Q Drop 123 = ABC – President Trump is telling us his plans through his statements on Truth Social, his rallies and speech at CPAC. He is an absolute stable genius that has completely bypassed the fake news to speak directly to the people. Fabulous. President Trump was right about everything and was on fire Saturday evening at CPAC. Do not miss his presentation. He wowed the crowd, got several standing ovations and promises to deliver on all of his promises, in particular, he says he will prevent WW111 very easily. He is the negotiator, we are in the final battle and peace is the prize. https://beforeitsnews.com/alternative/2023/03/trump-nails-it-at-cpac-declass-incoming-march-madness-3789608.html

Why are “we” sending so much money to Ukraine, yes it’s being laundered, but it could also be a blackmail scheme. https://beforeitsnews.com/terrorism/2023/03/situation-update-mar-6-2023-bombshell-leaked-govt-messages-reveal-covid-was-a-planned-psychological-terrorism-campaign-from-the-very-start-mike-adams-must-video-2462874.html

The Profession Formerly Known As Medicine - Monday, March 6, 2023 10:02 - Exhibit A. Medical students report rates of depression up to 30% higher than the general population. About 400 U.S. physicians commit suicide annually, with the rate for female physicians four times higher than among other female professionals. A 2015 survey reported that 13% of male physicians and 22% of female physicians suffered from alcohol abuse or dependence. A 2021 study found that 63% of U.S. physicians experienced burnout, with one in five intending to leave their practice within two years. These statistics attest to medicine’s core problem that affects the welfare of patients and the health, sanity, and professional longevity of physicians. It is this: we physicians have traded in our former gods for ersatz idols. https://beforeitsnews.com/entertainment/2023/03/the-profession-formerly-known-as-medicine-2676843.html

Staying encouraged as we take down the Parasite Class™ - Monday, March 6, 2023 10:17 - “The greatest challenge of the day is how to bring about a revolution of the heart, a revolution which has to start with each one of us.” (Dorothy Day) - Considering the state of things, it’s no surprise that so many folks — so many of you — feel angry and demoralized.

HARBINGER DAILY - A reporter asked Franklin Graham: Where do you see America today? I told him that our nation has turned its back on God. Politicians are looking for what people want and what culture wants instead of what God wants. We need to stand on the absolute authority of God’s Word, and I believe the Bible to be the Word of God. By turning our back on God, our nation is sliding farther and farther away from Him. Instead of becoming a better country, we are becoming more violent, lawless and godless. Our policies are failing, our economy is struggling and our country is in trouble. We need to take a hard look at God’s laws and His standards. That’s not what most Americans want to hear. https://harbingersdaily.com/by-turning-our-back-on-god-our-nation-has-become-more-violent-lawless-and-godless/

They did not succeed then, neither will they succeed today,” says the Israeli premier. MARCH 5TH 2023 - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday criticized as “unworthy” International Atomic Agency Director Raphael Grossi’s statement a day earlier that any attack Iran’s nuclear program would be illegal. “Against which law?” said Netanyahu at Sunday’s Cabinet meeting. “Is Iran, which openly calls for our destruction, permitted to defend the destructive weapons that would slaughter us?

ISRAEL 365 NEWS: The Biden Administration is Costing Israeli Lives - “If you remain silent at a time like this, relief and rescue shall come to the Jews from elsewhere, and you and your family will be lost.” – ESTHER 4:14 (THE ISRAEL BIBLE) - BY RABBI PESACH WOLICKI – OPINION - MARCH 5, 2023 - Since the start of 2023, Israel has suffered a wave of deadly terrorist attacks. As Israelis mourn and express their rage, many are asking the obvious questions. Why now? What leads to these waves of terror? Some in the media have taken to blaming the new Netanyahu government. As they see it, the existence of a nationalist, right-wing government provokes Israel’s enemies, who would be much more peaceful and less murderous were Yair Lapid sitting in the Prime Minister’s seat. While there are no doubt numerous causes of the timing of the current wave of terror, I’d like to suggest a significant factor that is being ignored. Simply put, people respond to incentives. Allow me to explain. It is well known that for decades the Palestinian Authority has provided generous lifetime stipends to the families of the perpetrators of deadly attacks against both Israelis as well as non-Israeli visitors to the Jewish state. (Comment: The Obama/Biden communist regime has reinstated funding to the Palestinian Authority. This promotes terrorist attacks in Israel against the Jewish population. If terrorist are killed a stipend will be paid to the terrorist families. Naturally the families of terrorists are thrilled to get the money. According to their religion the terrorists think they have 70 virgins waiting for them in the afterlife. The families get the money while their sons & daughters die.) https://www.israel365news.com/367909/the-biden-administration-is-costing-israeli-lives/

THE CHRISTIAN POST: Texas churches pledge to sponsor exiled Mayflower Church members - By Anugrah Kumar, Christian Post Contributor – March 5th 2023 - Churches in Texas have pledged to sponsor the resettlement of 64 Christians from China’s persecuted “Mayflower Church” who fled to South Korea in 2019 but were denied asylum. Southern Baptist congregations and other churches in East Texas have said they will sponsor the exiled members of Shenzhen Holy Reformed house church, which came to be known as Mayflower Church after some 60 Chinese Christians, including 32 children, arrived in South Korea’s Jeju Island in 2019. Sixteen families are now in Thailand awaiting responses to their refugee applications first submitted to the U.N.'s refugee agency UNCHR on Sept. 5, 2022.  https://www.christianpost.com/news/texas-churches-pledge-to-sponsor-exiled-mayflower-church-members.html

 Recognizing Signs of the Times

by Dr. David R. Reagan

Published on: February 7, 2015

Researched by Pastor Gary Boyd

March 6th 2023

 

A year ago I felt compelled to resign my membership in a prophecy study group because the director suddenly revealed that he did not believe there were any signs pointing to the soon return of Jesus, with the possible exception of Israel.? I was astonished by that statement, and I wrestled with what to do about it. I finally decided that I had no choice but to resign from the organization.

 

After all, I have devoted my life to proclaiming that the signs of the times point to the soon return of Jesus. How could I be a member of an organization whose director denies that any such signs exist? I concluded that my continued membership in the organization would put me in the position of being a house divided against myself. So, I resigned.

 

 Abundant Signs

The signs of the times that point to the Lord’s soon return are so plentiful and obvious that I don’t know how anyone with any spiritual discernment could be blind to them. This, in fact, is an area that even amillennialists and premillennialists can and do agree on.

In 1995 I was privileged to participate in a prophecy conference in Orlando, Florida that was sponsored by Midnight Call Ministries. One of the speakers was a remarkable man of God from Abilene, Texas by the name of Elbert Peak. This is a man who has been preaching Bible prophecy for over 60 years.

 

His first topic at the conference was “The Signs of the Times.”  He began his presentation by saying: “I began preaching on the signs sixty years ago when there were very few that you could actually see. Today they are everywhere. I am no longer looking for signs; I am listening for sounds!”

 

I shouted, “Amen!”  It is no longer necessary to search for signs. We are inundated with them. There are so many and they are so clear, that it’s like the Lord has a neon sign in the sky blinking on and off, saying, “Jesus is coming soon!” As Elbert Peak put it, we should be listening for sounds — the sound of a trumpet blast and the shout of an archangel (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18).

 

 The Meaning of Signs

What is a prophetic sign? It is basically a prophecy concerning an historical event or technological development that will characterize a future time. Let’s consider the First Advent of the Messiah as an example. The prophet Micah prophesied that the Messiah would be born in the town of Bethlehem (Micah 5:2). Daniel said the Messiah would be “cut off” 483 years after an edict was issued to rebuild Jerusalem (Daniel 9:25). He also stated that this would take place before the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem. And David stated in Psalm 22:16 that the Messiah’s hands and feet would be pierced.

One of these signs is geographical — the birth site of the Messiah. The second is historical. The edict it refers to was issued in 457 BC. Counting 483 years from that date brings us to 27AD. The Temple was destroyed in 70AD. So, the Messiah had to be “cut off” (that is, killed) sometime between 27 AD and 70 AD. The third sign is technological in nature. The method of execution at the time David wrote Psalm 22 was stoning. Crucifixion was not even invented by the Romans until 700 years later.

 

Jesus was born in Bethlehem. He was executed in 31 AD, during the “historical window” between 27 AD and 70 AD. And he was executed by crucifixion. The fulfillment of these signs in the life of Jesus serves to validate that He was the prophesied Messiah.

 

There are over 300 prophecies in the Hebrew Scriptures about the First Coming of the Messiah. But many are repetitious. For example, it is said more than once that the Messiah will be of the house of David. When you cull out all the repetitious prophecies, you are left with a total of 109 which were fulfilled in the life of Jesus. (For a detailed listing of these prophecies, order our publication entitled “The First Advent of Jesus in Old Testament Prophecy.”)

 

 Messianic Signs

On one occasion when Jesus was teaching, the Pharisees and Sadducees came and asked Him to give them a “sign” to prove that He was the Messiah (Matthew 16:1-4). What they wanted was a miracle. But Jesus responded by playing with the word, “sign.” He asked them why they could read the weather but could not “discern the signs of the times.” Jesus used the word, “sign,” to refer to fulfilled prophecies in His life.

The same principle applies to the Second Coming of Jesus. There are more than 500 prophecies in the Old Testament about the Second Coming, and one out of every twenty-five verses in the New Testament also speak of this great event. These prophecies contain many signs that we are to watch for, signs that will indicate that the time of the Lord’s return is drawing near.

 

Jesus Himself emphasized this point in His Olivet discourse. He presented a long list of signs that would characterize the end times, and then He said, “when you see all these things, recognize that I will be near, right at the door” (Matthew 24:33). Paul also made the point that we can recognize the season of the Lord’s return. In 1 Thessalonians 5:1-6 he stated that even though the Lord will return like “a thief in the night,” He is not coming for believers in that manner because we are “sons of light.” He is referring here to the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit who can open our eyes to the signs of the times so that we are not caught by surprise by the Lord’s return. In like manner, the author of Hebrews states that we are to “encourage one another” as we see the day of judgment drawing near (Hebrews 10:25).

 

 Signs of the End Times

The re-establishment of the nation of Israel is a classic example of an end time historical sign. Over and over again the Hebrew Scriptures prophesy that in the end times, right before the return of the Messiah, the nation of Israel will be re-established (Isaiah 11:10-12; Ezekiel 37:1-12; Amos 9:13-15; and Zechariah 12:1-3). Jesus emphasized this sign in Matthew 24 when He told us to watch for the rebudding of the fig tree (a symbol of Israel). When that happens, He said, the generation that sees it “will not pass away until all these things [the return of the Lord] take place” (Matthew 24:34).

 

The book of Revelation is full of technological signs concerning the end times. Take, for example, the prophecy that one-half the population of the world will die in the first three and a half years of the Tribulation (1/4 in the Seal Judgments and 1/3 of those remaining in the Trumpet Judgments — Revelation 6-9). How could such unparalleled carnage occur apart from the development of nuclear weapons and their missile delivery systems?

 

Or consider the prophecy that when the two great witnesses of God are killed by the Antichrist in the middle of the Tribulation, the whole world “will look upon their dead bodies for three and a half days” (Revelation 11:9). How could this be possible before the development of television and satellite transmission?

 

Another prophecy in Revelation that has been waiting for historical developments is the one that states there will be an army of 200 million soldiers that will march across Asia toward Israel during the period of the Tribulation. At the time that prophecy was written (95 AD), there were only 200 million people on planet earth! It took 1,600 years for the population of the earth to double to 400 million. In fact, the earth’s population did not reach one billion until 1850. This century has experienced a population explosion due to the advent of modern medicine (keep in mind that the first antibiotic, penicillin, was not discovered until 1928!). Today, the earth’s population has just passed the 8 billion mark, and one Asian nation alone — namely, China — could easily send an army of 200 million, as prophesied in Revelation.

Jesus said that when we see all these signs come together, He will be “right at the door,” ready to return (Matthew 24: 33). God is warning, and Jesus is at the gates of Heaven waiting for His Father’s command.

 

Are you ready?
