An Early and Later Fulfillment of Prophecy

With the latest attempts by the Obama administration to make peace in the middle east, those who watch the current events around the world in anticipation of the coming of Jesus become very excited. Whether or not the current effort will be successful at securing a seven year peace treaty as described in the Book of Daniel chapter 9, remains to be seen.
There are many articles on the internet referencing the fact that Obama has shown signs of being either the antichrist himself or like the antichrist. This writer would not go so far to make either of those statements as neither of these possibilities are clear at the present time. No one really knows that a particular aspect of Bible prophecy has been fulfilled until after the fact. We know that in the last days before the seven year tribulation begins, there will be a great move in the middle east similar to the current effort, that will ensue into a seemingly miraculous set of events, finally bringing peace to the decades long struggle.
According to the Bible, part of the peace process will be that Israel will be allowed to rebuild the third temple on the very same site as the former two temples. In order to do this, the muslim world would need to allow the construction of the temple next to the existing dome of the rock. Today no one but a muslim can even approach the temple mount. To allow any Israeli to begin a jewish house of worship next to their revered mosque would be of epic importance. Never the less, we know that when this final seven years do begin, midway into the seven year tribulation, an event will happen that will set into motion the final 21 plagues of the Book of Revelation and bring the return of Jesus to the earth with His church to set up a one thousand year kingdom of righteousness. Then at the three and one half year mark of the seven year peace agreement, a statue of antichrist will be placed in the holy of holies in the new temple and it will come to life. A command will be given to worship the new world ruler as God, who will be the antichrist. Jesus called this event the “Abomination of Desolation in Matthew chapter 24.

Signs of Antichrist: Obama Wants a Signed Peace Agreement

When the time of the seven year tribulation is upon us, there will be a massive move to make peace in Israel. The peace, according to Daniel Chapter 9 will come by a “Covenant”, or agreement between many nations and Israel. The signing of this peace treaty is the opening of the first seal in Revelation Chapter 6, verse 1. Either just before or just after the signing of this peace agreement, Jesus will remove His church from the earth at the event described in 1 Thessalonians chapter 4:16-18. Then after a short three and one-half years of peace, the new world ruler who brought the peace treaty, will have a statue of himself erected in the newly built temple in Jerusalem on the Temple Mount, and proclaim that the world should worship him.
This is the event that Jesus described in Matthew 24:15-22 called “The Abomination of Desolation”. This event will trigger the opening of the second seal in Revelation chapter 6 that will bring war. As the third through seventh seals are opened, the judgments and plagues upon earth grow progressively worse leading into the blowing of the seven trumpets and finally the pouring out of the seven bowls of Jesus wrath upon the earth. In the totality of these twenty-one judgments, nearly two-thirds of the population of the earth will perish. All those who refuse to take the mark of the beast and worship him, but instead chose Jesus Christ, will be beheaded as described in Revelation 20:4. It will be possible to be saved during the last three and one-half years of the Great Tribulation, but it will cost you your life. Important to remember that if a person cannot live for Jesus Christ now before the Great Tribulation begins, they most certainly will not be able to wait until the tribulation begins to die for Jesus Christ. Better to receive Him now while there is still time.

Obama Seeks to be Middle East Peacemaker, Signs of Antichrist?

Rabbis in Israel: “We will know that he is our Messiah who is able to make peace for us and allow us to rebuild our temple…”
Daniel 9:27 Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week; But in the middle of the week He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate, Even until the consummation, which is determined, Is poured out on the desolate.”

Anne Gearan
WASHINGTON — We’ve been here before and if history is a guide, we’ll be here again. President Barack Obama is aiming for the prize that has eluded many U.S. presidents before him: a deal to form an independent Palestinian state and end six decades of conflict in one of the world’s most volatile regions. Obama will bring the Israeli and Palestinian leaders to Washington next month for a symbolic handshake and the start, yet again, of a new round of peace talks. The ambitious goal: a peace deal inside a year. The talks make good on an Obama campaign promise to confront the festering conflict early in his presidency, instead of deferring the peace broker’s role as former President George W. Bush did.

Is Israel About to Attack Iran?

The specter of a devastating Middle East confrontation looms bigger than ever this week after former US Ambassador to the UN John Bolton noted that Israel had only a few days left to attack Iran’s main nuclear facility. Bolton, who also previously oversaw US nuclear non-proliferation policy, was referring to Russia’s intention to deliver nuclear fuel rods to the now-complete Bushehr nuclear reactor this coming weekend. The rods will be inserted into the core and the reactor is scheduled to be operational on August 21.
“Once that uranium, once those fuel rods are very close to the reactor, certainly once they’re in the reactor, attacking it means a release of radiation, no question about it,” Bolton told Fox Business Network on Monday. “So if Israel is going to do anything against Bushehr it has to move in the next eight days.” Bolton said he did not know if Israel intends to strike or not, but was certain that Israel would not attack the Bushehr reactor after it had gone online for fear of releasing radiation on the nearby population.

Prophecy Update: The Discovery of Oil in Israel and Ezekiel 38

The other day I heard a well respected prophecy teacher say that it is believed that Israel is sitting in the middle of a dip stick oil field. This is said to be the best quality oil in the world and it is very deep much like a great funnel that spreads at the top throughout the entire Middle East. The best part is Israel is located at the lowest point below sea level in the world. This means that the oil will run down toward them. When Israel begins to harvest the oil reserves it will literally be siphoning the oil right out from under the Arab’s and probably the Russian’s as well. In time, they will eventually run dry as Israel sucks the oil away from the outer regions of the reserve and down toward them (Israel).
This could explain why, in the last days, Russia will lead the Arab world in a sneak attack against Israel (Ezekiel 38, 39). Before, I couldn’t quite understand why Russia would get involved in such an attack. Yes, they have been getting cozy with the Arab world as of late, but I never felt that was reason enough to attack Israel. There have also been rumors in the past that the Dead Sea was loaded with valuable minerals and other deposits, but to date, nothing has materialized of significance.
Particularly puzzling is the reason the Bible states why they will attack, “to take a spoil” (Ezekiel 38:12). But as I stated, Israel really has nothing of great value. That will all change if this exploration turns out to be as big as projected. It will also be fuel to the fire if it proves to pull oil away from other oil producer such as Russia. Oil has become a cash cow not only to the Arab world but to Russia as well. They are second only to Saudi Arabia in oil exports and production.
An interesting article out of Israel this morning shed more light on the probability of this being true: “Central Israel Oil Discovery: 1.5 Billion Barrels

Russian Missiles Block Israeli Attack on Iran

US and Israeli military sources told DEBKAfile Thursday, Aug. 12, that a threat from Georgia was not the reason why Russian posted advanced S-300 interceptor batteries Russia in Abkhazia and air defense weapons in South Ossetia on the northern shore of the Black Sea -as Moscow officially maintained, but rather possible moves by the US and/or Israel against Iran and its nuclear facilities.
Georgia’s armed forces do not run to the sophisticated warplanes, missiles or drones that would warrant establishing the high-powered S-300 interceptors for defending the breakaway Abkhazia and South Ossetia.Ordinary air defense batteries would do for deterrence.

What are the Consequences of an Israeli Attack on Iran?

A common view among strategists and political analysts is that the US will be held responsible by Iran and much of the Muslim world. Tehran is expected to use the relationships it has carefully cultivated with militants in Iraq and Afghanistan to lash out at US troops, and some say it could provide fighters in Afghanistan with the surface-to-air missiles they crave. “There are segments of the [Iranian] regime, parts of the military apparatus especially, that will welcome an attack, the heightening of tensions and even confrontation,” says Kaveh Ehsani, a political scientist who studies Iran at DePaul University in Chicago. “Their strategy to react to this is to export conflict – to Afghanistan and Iraq and Lebanon and Gaza… they’ll raise hell anywhere they can, like in Saudi Arabia.”
But how big the Iranian reaction would be remains an open question. More US soldiers would die, that much is almost certain. But how many is unclear. And while Iran can bottle up tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and drive up world oil prices, or encourage Hezbollah in southern Lebanon to rain missiles on Israel, analysts are divided on whether the country will take the plunge. US response could be far more threatening than Israeli oneWayne White, former deputy director of the Middle East desk at the State Department’s Bureau of Intelligence and Research, says a there’s a complex web of calculations being made by both the Israelis and the Iranians, and that Iran may show restraint in the wake of an attack, not wanting to be drawn into a conflict that could threaten the Islamic revolution.

NASA Could Land a Probe on Asteroid That May Hit Earth

Asteroid 1999 RQ36, which has a one-in-1,000 chance of hitting the Earth before the year 2200, would cause an explosion equivalent to hundreds of nuclear bombs detonating at once. An analysis of its orbit has predicted that it is most likely to hit us on September 24, 2182 but scientists want to collect a sample of the rock to help forecast its trajectory more accurately. If Nasa gives the plan the green light, the spacecraft would blast off in 2106 to map out and collect rock samples from the asteroid, which is 1,800 feet-wide. The planned mission, called OSIRIS-Rex, is one of three finalists in competition for funding as part of the cash-strapped US space agency’s New Frontiers program. The other contenders are missions to the Moon and to Venus respectively and the winner will be announced next year. Plans to land an astronaut on an asteroid will come under discussion at a two-day Nasa workshop in Washington DC starting on Tuesday. Nasa has officially classified RQ36 as a ‘potentially hazardous asteroid’ as it passes within about 280,000 miles of Earth. Its orbit, which brings it closer to Earth, makes it easier to reach than other asteroids.

Did Churchill and Eisenhower Cover Up UFO Encounter?

With a civilian population haunted by the Blitz and the Second World War still in the balance, it was one development Winston Churchill could have done without – an incursion into British airspace by an arrow-shaped metallic object feared to contain an invasion force of little green men. Such was the sensitivity of an alleged UFO sighting by an RAF bomber crew returning to England from a mission over Germany that Churchill ordered it to be covered up with the words: “This event should be immediately classified since it would create mass panic amongst the general population and destroy one’s belief in the Church.” This at least was the allegation put to the Ministry of Defence by relatives of a senior British military aide who claimed to have witnessed the cigar-chomping Prime Minister discuss the incident with General Dwight Eisenhower as part of a meeting about a succession of “foo fighter” sightings by Allied air crews in the Second World War. The curious matter of visits by wartime aliens is one of hundreds of reports of strange celestial phenomena – from a space station covered in pulsating lights to an unusually agile rocket which buzzed a Boeing 737 at Manchester Airport – to be revealed in documents released today by the National Archives in Kew, west London.

Signs of Antichrist: IMF Blueprint for Global Currency

Authored by Reza Moghadam, director of the IMF’s strategy, policy and review department, it discusses how the IMF sees the International Monetary System evolving after the financial crisis.Which means, in the eyes of the IMF at least, the best way to ensure the stability of the international monetary system (post crisis) is actually by launching a global currency. And that, the IMF says, is largely because sovereigns — as they stand — cannot be trusted to redistribute surplus reserves, or battle their deficits, themselves.
The ongoing buildup of such imbalances, meanwhile, only makes the system increasingly vulnerable to shocks. It’s also a process that’s ultimately unsustainable for all, says the IMF. Or as they put it: The global crisis of 2008/09, for all its costs, has not jeopardized international monetary stability, and the IMS is not on the verge of collapse. That said, the current system has serious imperfections that feed and facilitate policies—of reserves accumulation and reserves creation—that are ultimately unsustainable and, until they are reversed, expose the system to risks and shocks that a reformed system could minimize.

South Korea Begins Massive Military Exercises

South Korea has launched its biggest-ever anti-submarine exercises, the military says, despite warnings of retaliation from the North.Some 4,500 personnel are taking part in five days of drills in the Yellow Sea, near the disputed maritime border. The South is making a show of strength amid continuing anger over the sinking of one of its warships in March. Seoul says a North Korean torpedo sank the Cheonan, but Pyongyang denies this and says the drills are a provocation. Forty-six South Korean sailors were killed when the Cheonan went down in the Yellow Sea on 26 March.
‘Fully prepared’ The latest drills, which follow a joint US-South Korean military exercise, will involve 29 ships and 50 planes. Although the Ministry of Defence says the ships will stay clear of the disputed west coast sea boundary, marines stationed on islands close to the border will conduct live-fire exercises. But military officials said that the guns would face south and described the exercises as “defensive” in nature.

2010 Is an Unprecedented Year for Weather

Jesus Said: Luke 21:25-28 “And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring; men’s hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.”
As We see these unprecedented weather patterns around the world we are reminded that Jesus said that these types of events would immediately precede His arrival back to earth at the even the Bible calls “The Rapture of the Church” (1 Thessaloninas 4:14-17). Any day now, those who have loved and believed in Jesus may hear their name called by the Lord and then suddenly find themselves transformed and in the outer atmosphere of the earth, gathered with all those who also love Jesus, standing in the presence of the Lord. He will then take us all back with Him to heaven where there will be a great reunion, a Banquet for all, and the giving of rewards for our faithful life of service to Jesus while in our bodies on earth. Then, 7 years later, in earth time , Jesus will ride out of heaven (Revelation 19), back to earth with all of us who love Him, and Jesus will set up the 1,000 year kingdom promised in the Old Testament of Righteousness over the whole earth. Lift up your heads when you see all kinds of strange weather and the perplexity of men over the economy, wars, and evil… Jesus is about to come for you.

Oil Hits a New 3 Month High on Economic Optimism

Oil rose to its highest level in nearly three months on Monday, topping $81 a barrel as a sharp rise on equity markets and a weak dollar raised optimism about the strength of the global economic recovery and the outlook for energy demand. U.S. September crude rose $2.64, more than 3 percent, to $81.59 a barrel by 11:39 EDT, the highest price since May 5. ICE Brent rose $2.78 to $80.96, the highest level since May 13. U.S. stocks rallied as strong earnings results and better-than-expected manufacturing data prompted investors to build on last month’s run-up. European stock markets set the tone early, hitting a three-month high following strong results from leading banks HSBC (HSBA.L) and BNP Paribas (BNPP.PA). The U.S. dollar fell to a three-month low against a basket of currencies .DXY as investors moved to riskier assets, which supported oil prices. A weaker greenback makes commodities cheaper for holders of other currencies.

Israeli Warplanes Hit Gaza after Rocket Attack

JERUSALEM – Gaza militants fired a rocket into the Israeli city of Ashkelon early Friday, the military said, a rare strike in a period of relative quiet. The Israeli military said the rocket caused damage but no injuries. None of the Palestinian militant groups in Gaza immediately took responsibility for the attack. The city of 120,000, located 11 miles (18 kilometers) to the north of Gaza and a short drive from Israel’s main population center in Tel Aviv, was a regular target for Palestinian militants before Israel’s Gaza offensive ended early last year. Militants have kept up limited rocket and mortar fire closer to the Israel-Gaza border, but the cities and towns of Israel’s south have largely been quiet since the fighting ended. “A Grad rocket hit in a yard next to buildings, in a heavily populated area,” the city’s mayor, Benny Vaknin, told Israel Radio, saying it was a “miracle” that no one was hurt. Vaknin said a warning siren that went off before the rocket hit gave residents time to take cover.

Rebuilding Solomon’s Temple in Brazil

This week, as Jews around the world observed the fasting day of Tisha B’av, commemorating the destruction of the First and Second Jewish Temples in ancient Jerusalem, a Brazilian megachurch received planning permission to build a 10,000-seat replica of Solomon’s Temple in the city of São Paulo. As Tom Phillips of The Guardian noted, a Brazilian newspaper, Estado de São Paulo, reported that the church will cost an estimated $200 million and should be completed in four years. According to a post on the blog of Bishop Edir Macedo, the founder of Brazil’s evangelical Universal Church of the Kingdom of God, which is building the replica, the structure will be 180 feet high, making it nearly twice as tall as the Christ the Redeemer statue that towers over Rio de Janeiro. Mr. Macedo also said that stones of the same type used by Solomon had been ordered from Jerusalem to be used in a complex which will also house 36 Bible schools, television and radio studios and a 1,000-space parking lot.

Genesis 3:15: The First Prophecy in the Bible

In the Book of Genesis chapter 3, Adam sets a course that causes all men after him to become sinners. As Adam eats of the fruit and has his eyes opened to a knowledge of good and evil, his relationship with God is changed from one who walks with God to one whom hides from God. As the Lord comes to Adam, he cries out to him, “Adam where are you”, not in anger or in an attempt to scold him, but in the tender voice of a brokenhearted father who cannot find his child. “Adam where are you… Where are you and I at now Adam in our relationship? You used to seek me out for fellowship, now you are hiding from me, Adam where are you….” The reality of sin is that it causes us to hide from God. Either in guilt over the sin, or in love of the sin, human beings hide from their creator and fellowship between the two is lost.

New BPU Feature: ‘Through The Prophecy’s of the Bible’

As a part of our growth and development of Bible Prophecy Update, we are adding a new feature. Beginning today we will go through the Bible, starting with the very first prophecy in the Bible, and write a brief commentary on each of these verses of scripture as they occur in order, from Genesis to Revelation. In the 19th chapter of the Book of Revelation, one of the angels who is dictating to John the events of the Last Days, says to John, “The Testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy”. (Revelation 19:10) The entire purpose of Bible prophecy is to illuminate Jesus and reveal Him for who He truly is. Prophecy is not about predicting the future as much as it’s intended purpose is to show the one who is in control of the future. Jesus is the Author of all life and the one to which all life depends. The entire Bible is about Him and His intended purpose to bring the love of God to whomsoever will believe in Him and trust Him for their eternal life. We will seek to relate each of these prophecy’s in the Bible to Jesus, His plan and purpose for the world and the events of the last days in which we currently live.
