Final Sermon on Final Justice: The Return of Christ
I finished listening to this 3 part sermon series, Final Justice the Return of Christ, today while working out. If you are a believer, I think you will find it VERY encouraging. It is dreadful what unbelievers will experience, and that should encourage us to keep witnessing to those the Lord has put in our path to witness to. It is uplifting to know that God is sending Jesus back for those who have repented of their sins and have trusted Christ's payment for their sin. He sees what we endure and He will help us suffer for righteousness sake.
The reality of the mass carnage that will occur when the final judgment occurs, and the birds of the air being called to eat of the carrion...it is wild and terrifyingly powerful of God. Pastor MacArthur is talking about the largest bird migrations and how they occur over Israel....After the birds have eaten the remains of all the wicked the Lord has killed, it will take 7 months to bury the remaining bones and debris. What is shocking is that prior to this destruction of the wicked, the people will still not repent, but will want to hide and have the mountains fall on them! The lengths people will go to so they can remain in their sin, and not repent, are always shocking to me. This world is so wicked. Come, Lord Jesus, come!

Jerusalem Update from Jim at Prophecy Matters
Dec 1 2014
Incitement…from the West
In recent weeks, the Israel Security Agency uncovered a plot by Hamas terrorists to assassinate Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman. According to one report, they had already begun gathering operational intelligence and weapons.
Meanwhile, a Hamas leaflet showed a cartoon-type illustration of a wave of water bearing-down on an Orthodox Jew. In the wall of water were a car, a knife, a meat cleaver, and a gun. All weapons used to try and kill Jews recently in the latest insane wave of violence directed at Jews, by Palestinians. The title of the illustration was “The Jerusalem tsunami.”
On November 23, near the Gaza border, north of the Jabaliya refugee camp, a Palestinian named Muhammad Halawa was killed by the IDF. Palestinian media reported Halawa was killed while “trying to catch birds.” Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri charged that this was a gross violation of the lull agreement between Israel and Hamas, and “called on the international community to take responsibility.”
All these incidents, so tragically common in Israel and the Palestinian territories, are part of a fabric of propaganda that is aided and abetted by Western sources that coddle the Arabs. We live in a time (who hasn’t in the past 4,000 years?) when the hunting and killing of Jews is not considered to be evil by the vast majority of people. I have long maintained that these “little” terror incidents are in fact huge in their implications.
Take one more, for example.
According to a report on the Facebook page of the Israel Police Force:
“There was a double stabbing attack in the Old City of Jerusalem. A 45 year-old Israel man was stabbed in the chest with a knife; he said Arabs had attacked him. Another man sustained minor injuries. Investigation revealed that the two, who had left their yeshiva, were attacked by four Palestinians, who stabbed them with sharp instruments and fled. The Israeli
security forces conducted a search and detained four young Palestinians from the Old City of Jerusalem.”
I’ve been in the Old City many times, all through it, and the thought of bloodthirsty Palestinians planning violence is unacceptable. Yes, tourists are relatively safe; the terrorists usually know the difference between a camera-carrying fellow from Milwaukee and a yeshiva student, but the narrow alleyways and nooks and crannies make for perfect hideaways.
Where is the outrage from Western leaders over all these incidents? The answer of course is that they don’t exist. Not even a massive bloodbath like the infamous Dolphinarium slaughter of 2001 prompted much in the way of outcry.
As I often do, I must say again: where are the evangelical leaders in America who will condemn, wholly, the targeting and murder of Jews?
The Israelis complain often about the incitement to violence from the Palestinian Authority. But isn’t gross silence and indifference from Western leaders, including elitist evangelical leaders, also a form of incitement? A hands-off approach so long as it’s only Jews being murdered?
I have long believed that at the root of the silence is a simple dislike of Jews. This comes from all denominations: the mainline churches “liked” Jews who were survivors of the Holocaust, because that madness was simply beyond the pale. However, they did not like Jews with guns, the IDF, and especially after the Six Day War, the tolerance from the liberal churches waned.
But even in the so-called conservative denominations, I know leadership — from the SBC and the Assemblies of God — that clearly seems to have a problem with Jews. They might acknowledge and even embrace much of prophecy. They might have some respect for Israel as an ally in the War on Terror.
In their hearts, though, they harbor anti-Semitic attitudes. Somewhere in the childhoods, or in seminary, or around the dinner table, they heard that Jews control all the money in the world, or foment violence in order to prosper. Or they’ve heard that Jews “killed Christ.”
All these dark spots on the hearts of professing Christians add up to one thing: stepping aside when Jews are being hurt.
Look at Jimmy Carter. How can the man teach Sunday school and embrace (literally!) Hamas terrorists? How can evangelical leadership gurus like Brad Lomenick and Gabe Lyons allow anti-Israel speakers at their conferences? How can Dr. Russell Moore of the SBC talk out of both sides of his mouth where Israel is concerned, even sounding eerily like a Replacement Theology guy when discussing Israel? What about the faculty at the Assemblies of God Theological Seminary, closely aligned with the Society for Pentecostal Studies — a group associated with Dr. Paul Alexander, a virulent critic of Israel? When Alexander was scrutinized by the top AG leadership for his liberal stances on homosexuality and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, several SPS members privately expressed solidarity with Alexander.
Do rank-and-file Christians understand what is going on in “conservative” circles? At every turn, liberal and leftist ideology is seeping into the fabric of church life. And in this narrow focus of violence toward Jews and hatred of Israel, the trends are deeply troubling.
Let me be frank. Stalwart pro Israel leaders like Noah Hutchings at Southwest Radio Church are in the winter of their lives. Who is replacing them? Not enough apologists and pro Israel leaders. In fact, the “replacements” are center-left ideologues who privately (and soon, openly) have a bone to pick with Israel.
Let me give you one final example for now, to help you understand the networks.
Cameron Strang, publisher of Relevant magazine, has had his photo ops with Barack Obama in the White House. Why would the 30-ish Strang be invited to a shindig at the White House? Because Team Obama knows who the influencers are among young people, and Strang, in the pages of his magazine, never misses an opportunity to bash Israel.
This is what we are facing in the not-too-distant future. An age in which the gathering forces against Israel and her capitol, Jerusalem, grow more menacing.
And fewer seem to care.

Israel Update
Could you imagine for a moment being born into an Islamic Muslim family? From childhood you are told that if you do this, or that, they will hold you down on a bench and give you 30, 40 or more lashes with a whip, but if you do this, or that, they will cut your hands or feet off. But if you do this, or that, we will bury you up to your head in the ground and stone you to death – starting with small stones and then larger ones. But if you do this, or that, we will cut your head off. And if you ever renounce Islam we will hunt you down and kill you. That is just a small look at Sharia Law. It is really much worse. From childhood you are taught that killing Jews will get you into heaven. Or to die killing any non-Muslim in Jihad will get you into Paradise to be with Allah. And if you give your life as a suicide bomber you are guaranteed to be in Paradise with Allah.
These are the people that Obama and Kerry are trying to force Israel to give up more land to. Knowing it will bring about the end of the Jewish state of Israel. These are also the same people that Obama is moving into positions in the US Government and around the country to begin an Islamic revolution along with nationwide race riots in order to allow the introduction of Martial law.
Obama’s support for the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood should be more than enough proof even for the most liberal American. Yet it seems there is a spiritual blindness that has kept them from seeing the truth. Today, Egypt is turning to Russia for military support. Even allowing Russia to build a sea port on the Egyptian shores of the Mediterranean. This will give Russia a port to our north in Syria and now one just to our south on the Egyptian coast. When you consider the kind of missiles these Russian warships carry it is scary to say the least.</p
Hamas in Gaza was created and supported by the Muslim Brotherhood out of Egypt. This means Hamas now find themselves in a very bad position as Egypt is closing down their supply tunnels into Gaza and the border crossing. Declaring the Muslim Brotherhood a Terrorist Organization.
With life becoming harder every day in Gaza, the Hamas know they have to do something, and within the Arab world that ‘something’ is always the same; start killing. The enemy if possible – if not, just start killing someone, anyone. It is the Islamic Muslim way.
And here in Israel we are beginning to see that sick Islamic philosophy begin to play out. As missiles once again are being fired out of Gaza into our civilian population – with of course no condemnation from the UN, or the rest of the world. It is a war crime and a crime against humanity – Yet no one seems to want to call it that. After all, they are only killing Jews.
Over the past few weeks we have seen an escalation in bombings, stabbings and shootings. Many have been hurt and even killed by rock throwing at our cars on the highways and roads by “Palestinian youth”. It looks like the beginning of the third “Intifada”. Another Arab word that justifies the killing of innocent people that they call “Infidels”.</p
In the meantime Islam is moving at a very rapid pace throughout Europe. Large numbers of French Jewry are now leaving in fear for their lives and because they now no longer see a future in that country for their children.
But the door for them to leave on flights to Israel will close very soon and they will be left trying to find other means to leave and come to Israel. The only route available will be by sea. My worst nightmare is that there will not be enough vessels with the capacity needed to accommodate the large numbers whose lives will depend on the boats being available. I have said this before, and I will say it again. The thought of having to tell a family with kids that there is no more room on the boat, thus leaving them to what will most likely be their death, is a dream I’ve had far too many times.
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, for all the IDF soldiers, and the Christians in Israel that are there to help as things get worse.

18With all prayer and petition pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view, be on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints, 19and pray on my behalf, that utterance may be given to me in the opening of my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel, 20for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in proclaiming it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
