In Matthew 24 verses 1 to 8 we read:

.... 1 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.

2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying,Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of theend of the world?

4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.

5For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all thesethings must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: a nd there shall be

8 All these are the beginning of sorrows. .... .

In A.D. 70 we know that Titus the Roman General surrounded Jerusalem . The Christians assoon as they seen the gathering Roman Army remembered the Words of the Lord inMatthew Chapter 24 and had already fled to the mountains and left Jerusalem.

The Temple in Jerusalem was raised to the ground. Josephus the Jewish Historian witnessed

the destruction of the Temple of Jerusalem.

Roman Soldiers, Roman conscripts set fire to the Temple.

The gold melted and flowed between the Temple stones. When the fire died out and theTemple stones cooled down, they raised it to the ground looking for gold. Not one stonewas left lying on top of another.

The Jews were scattered throughout the world until 1948 when Israel once again had itsown flag, it s own currency , it s own national language back in the Promised Land thatGod gave to Abraham. But no Temple on the Temple Mount.

The Gospel of the Kingdom spread and went to Rome.

In AD 325 at the Counci l of Niacea the Roman Catholic Church organized.

Pagan Doctrine was mingled with Christian Teachings . ( Read Alexander Hislop TwoBabylon s ).

False Teachings. Persecution in the name of religion against anyone that failed to followCatholic teachings. The Dark Ages. Millions of Christians killed and martyred by the RomanCatholic Church.

Then there was the Reformation under Martin Luther a Roman Catholic Priest who studiedthe bible and prayed and saw the Light and condemned the Roman Catholic Church.

The Weslyan Revival under John Wesley.

The 1906 Azuza street Pentecostal Revival.

The restoration of Apostolic Faith and Doctrine and the preaching of the seven seals in1963.

The great falling away in the End Times. The rise of false prophets and false christs in theend time.

Each Church professing to be the correct Church. Religious confusion. Enticing spirits andspiritual death striking the apostate reprobates. ( 1 Timothy Chapter 4 verses 1 to 9 ; 2Timothy 3 verses 1 to 9 ; 2 Thessalonians Chapter 2 ).

We are in the End Times.

Soon the Desire of all Nations shall come and set up his Kingdom on this earth.

The Lord Jesus Christ is the Desire of all Nations.

Only the Lord Jesus Christ can bring peace to Jerusalem.

Only the Lord Jesus can bring peace to the whole world.

The Kingdoms of this Cosmos World System must give way to the Kingdom of God.

The Will of God in heaven will be done on earth. Amen.

Events happening in the world today were all foretold by the Bible.

We live in times of wickedness. The Bible spoke of the time of wickedness in the end timeswould be like in the days of Noah ( Genesis Chapters 6 to Chapter 8 ) and the days of Lot( Genesis 18 to 19 ).

Any thinking person today that can read the news and see worldwide events happe ning onearth knows that these are times pointing to the Apocalypse.

We see floods in some countries and in others famine ; we see unusual heavy snowfalls insome countries and in others we see heatwaves; we see strong winds blowing, tornadoes,hurricanes.

We see forest fires. We see earthquakes and landslides and Tsunamis.

The Lord Jesus said there would be ..Earthquakes in divers places ... .( Matthew 24 verse 7).

We have seen the recent devastating earthquakes in Sumatra, Indonesia, China, Haiti , Chile ,Christ Church New Zealand and Japan.

In Matthew 24 verse 7 the Lord Jesus said ...for nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines , and p estilences, and earthquakes, indivers places..... ( Matthew 24 verse 7 ).

Look at the Middle East . The USA and the UK Governments expressed surprise at the rapiduprising in the Middle East . The Media coverage of the democratic revolution is floodingthe airwaves.

The UN thinks its a good thing.

Democracy is a good thing but why must innocent people always die before the world takesnote ?

How much innocent blood must be shed by murderers using state machinery to kill helplesscivilians that have no jobs , poor housing , no food, , difficult acce ss to water , no healthcare ?

How many guns and tanks and planes must be sold to kill innocent millions of people ?

Why so much bitterness and hatred in the world ?

Why do so many countries persecute the Christians and the Jews ?

In the Middle East the USA and the UK looked surprised with the so called ...DemocraticRevolution in the Arab C ountries...

Countries like the USA and the UK that were friendly to Egypt, Tunisia and Libya and otherArab countries had to quickly re-evaluate their foreign policy.

The Obama Administration has re-evaluated their friendly status to Israel and in a word theUSA under the Obama Administration with strong pressure from the White House haseffectively turned its back on Israel.

Israel now has less friendly airbases in the Middle East than it ever did under previous USAAdministrations.

In March 2010, President Obama snubbed the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The snub was deliberate and calculated.

Watch what happened to the USA after that.

God will bless those that Bless is real and curse those that curse Israel.

When the USA tried to divide the Jewish land, floods like Katrina. Hurricanes, tornadoes andfloods and fire. Each time the USA or any Nation tries to take the land that God gave toIsrael they face judgement.

The USA had a declining influence in the Middle East.

In May 2010 , Turkey and Russia got friendly and signed a Nuclear Agreement.

Turkey as you know has been manifesting a rising influence in the Middle East.

Previously, Turkey was a secular nation. It is now under an Islamic Government. In ademocratic society, people are free to elect the Government of their choice.

Turkey is the only Muslim country in Nato. Military experts think that Nato will splitbecause of Turkey because of the difference in ideological beliefs. I don t know.

What is clear is that Nato and Russia were never close.

Since May 2010 Russia and Turkey are publicly getting more and more friendly.

Transparency is a good thing. Friendship is a good thing. Democracy is a good thi ng. Butwhat happens in public sometimes is not a true picture of what is happening in private.

Politicians do nothing by chance. When they do something in public they are making apolitical statement.

In March 2010, when President Obama openly snubbed Pr ime Minister Netanyahu , did theUSA send a signal to the Middle East that it is no longer friendly to Israel ?

Will President Obama be a one term President ?

If he carries on treating Israel with no respect, in 2012 he will be defeated and the USA willhave its first female President sitting in the White House after the 2012 elections.

In May 2010 , when Turkey and Russia signed a $20 billion Nuclear Agreement for Russia tobuild a Nuclear power Plant on the southern coast of Turkey.

What is happening ?

Previous to that Russia and Turkey were never that close.

Turkey is a the only Muslim country in Nato.

When you read Ezekiel Chapters 38 and 39 , we see the nations that will invade Israel via theCaucasus Mountains. The invasion will happen when Israel is allegedly at peace, three andhalf years after the Antichrist has negotiated his peace deal for Israel in the Middle east .

We see the groundwork for the fulfilment of Ezekiel Chapters 38 and 39 being made publicbefore our very eyes . Events done to b ring Russia and Turkey in close alliance . Russia andIran already are in close alliance.

Friends, we are living in the end times.

Where are we in God s timeclock?

In 1948 ,Israel was recognised as a nation back in the homeland that God gave to Abraham .The USA, the UK, Russia and other countries were amongst those that recognised Israel wasback in the Promised Land .

However, in 1948, not all land that God promised to Israel was in the hands of Israel.

The 1967 war and the 1973 war so Israel expand it s boundaries.

Israel is the only country on earth, that God called by name and defined it s boundaries.

The 1967 war saw Israel taking back Jerusalem.

For some reason Moshe Dayan allowed the Temple Mount to remain in the hands of theMufta of Jerusalem.

In Matthew 24 verse 15 the Lord Jesus said ... 15 W hen ye therefore shall see theabomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whosoreadeth, let him understand:)... .

We are now in 2011 i.e. about 44 years after Jerusalem was taken back by Israel . Will 50

years from 1967 be the year of Jubilee for Jerusalem ?

The Third Temple of Jerusalem has not been built yet. The Temple Building materials , thebrazen altar, the brazen laver dish, the table of shewbread, the golden candlestick, thetemple veil, the golden altar of incense and the mercy seat are all ready. There are nowred heifers in Israel.

We are in the end times . Prophecy has to be fulfilled. The Word God spoke of these EndTime Days.

People that know not God and refuse to pray and read the Bible will fail to understand ....Modern Events Made Clear by Prophecy... .

What then in happening in the Middle East now ?

What sparked the Tunisian revolt and the Egypt revolt and then spread like a wild fire in t heMiddle East.

The Tunisian revolt they say started when an unemployed University graduate who wastrying to make an honest living by selling products in a public market was harassed by a


7/15

public official and told that he could not do it. It is said th at he bought petrol and sethimself alight . He was rushed to hospital but died days later.

What is our world coming to ?

When people spend billions of dollars on guns and weapons of war and millions die of hunger.

Unemployment on the incline because of misplaced priorities.

The world media talk of ...democratic revolution... . Some news channels speak of theIslamic Revolution and point the finger of blame to Iran.

The people in the Middle East say they are also part of the human family and want the rightto have a decent standard of living. Have a job, a decent house, live a good life.

The media has been having ...BREAKING NE WS ... of ...Earthquake in Indonesia... ; ...Earthquake in Sumatra ... ; ...Earthquake in Haiti ... ; ...Earthquake i n Chile... ; ..Earthquake in China... ; ...Earthquake in Japan... ; etc

Breaking news of the ..Middle East Revolutions... .

Many Bible Students and students of Prophecy are familiar with end time scriptures likeMatthew Chapter 24; Mark 13 ; Luke 17 ; Luke 21 (as read with the book of Genesis withspecific references to Genesis Chapters 6 to 9 ; Genesis chapters 18 and 19 ) ; Ezekiel Chapters 38 and 39 ; Zechariah Chapter 14 ; Haggai Chapter 2 ; Malachi 4 verse 5 ; Amos 3verse 7; Luke 17 verse 30 ; revelation 10 verse 7 etc etc .

The other day, I was reading Haggai chapter 2 and I had to read it again .

In Haggai Chapter 2 we read

..... 1In the seventh month, in the one and twentieth day of the month, came the word of theLORD by the prophet Haggai, saying,

2S peak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, and to the resi due of the people, saying,

3W ho is left among you that saw this house in her first glory? and how do ye see it now? is it not in your eyes in comparison of it as nothing?

4Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel, saith the LORD; and be strong, O Joshua, son of Josedech,the high priest; and be strong, all ye people of the land, saith the LORD, and work: for I amwith you, saith the LORD of hosts:

5 According to the word that I covenanted with you when ye came out of Egypt, so my spirit remaineth among you: fear ye not.

6F or thus saith the LORD of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens,and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land;

7 And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this housewith glory, saith the LORD of hosts.

8 The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the LORD of hosts.

9The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the LORD of hosts:and in this place will I give peace, saith the LORD of hosts.

10 In the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, came theword of the LORD by Haggai the prophet, saying,

11 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Ask now the priests concerning the law, saying,

12If one bear holy flesh in the skirt of his garment, and with his skirt do touch bread, or

pottage, or wine, or oil, or any meat, shall it be holy? And the priests answered and said, No.

13Then said Haggai, If one that is unclean by a dead body touch any of these, shall it beunclean? And the priests answered and said, It shall be unclean.

14Then answered Haggai, and said, So is this people, and so is this nation before me, saiththe LORD; and so is every work of their hands; and that which they offer there is unclean.

15 And now, I pray you, consider from this day and upward, from before a stone was laid upon a stone in the temple of the LORD:

16

S ince those days were, when one came to an heap of twenty measures, there were but ten: when one came to the pressfat for to draw out fifty vessels out of the press, there werebut twenty.

17 I smote you with blasting and with mildew and with hail in all the labours of your hands;yet ye turned not to me, saith the LORD.

18 Consider now from this day and upward, from the four a nd twentieth day of the ninthmonth, even from the day that the foundation of the LORD's temple was laid, consider it.

19Is the seed yet in the barn? yea, as yet the vine, and the fig tree, and the pomegranate,and the olive tree, hath not brought forth: from this day will I bless you.

20 And again the word of the LORD came unto Haggai in the four and twentieth day of themonth, saying,

21 S peak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, I will shake the heavens and the earth;

22 And I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms, and I will destroy the strength of thekingdoms of the heathen; and I will overthrow the chariots, and those that ride in them; and the horses and their riders shall come down, every one by the sword of his brot her.

23In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, will I take thee, O Zerubbabel, my servant, the son of Shealtiel, saith the LORD, and will make thee as a signet: for I have chosen thee, saith theLORD of hosts..... .

In Haggai Chapter 2 verse 6 to 7 we read :

..... 6For thus saith the LORD of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake theheavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land;

7 And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill thishouse with glory, saith the LORD of hosts..... .

God said He would ... shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land; .. .

Look at the earthquakes happening. Look at the tsunamis.

Great shakings . Since 1948 , the earth has had 10 major earthquakes.

The earthquake in Japan was major.It was 9.0 on the richter scale.

The earth shifted off its axis. It s not the first time.

The underwater earthquake on the 26th December 2004 that caused the tsunami inIndonesia shifted the earth s axis. The Chile earthquake on 27 th February, 2010 shifted the

earth s axis. The underwater earthquake near Japan on the 11th

March 2011 shifted theearth s axis and moved Japan s coastline by 8 feet .

In Haggai Chapter 2 verse 6 to 7 we read :

..... 6For thus saith the LORD of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake theheavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land;

7 And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill thishouse with glory, saith the LORD of hosts..... .

The heavens shaken. Asteroids and meteors. Meteorite showers.

The earth shaken, earthquakes in divers places of increasing magnitude and increasingfrequency .

The land shaken , earthquakes and landslides.

The sea shaken, tsunamis caused by underground earthquakes.

The Nations being shaken. The Nations shaken financially. Gold and silver thrown in thestreet in the End Time Financial Crash . ( Isaiah 2 verse 20 to 22 ; Jeremiah 1 verse 12 ; Ezekiel 7 verse 19 ; etc ).

The nations shaken Politically. Trouble in the Middle East. Tunisia, Egypt, Bahrain, Yemen,Libya, etc .

We are in the end times .

...And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.... .( Luke 21 verse 28 ).

In Haggai Chapter 2 verses 19 to 23 we read :

19Is the seed yet in the barn? yea, as yet the vine, and the fig tree, and the pomegranate,and the olive tree, hath not brought forth: from this day will I bless you.

20 And again the word of the LORD came unto Haggai in the four and twentieth day of themonth, saying,

21Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, I will shake the heavens and the earth;

22 And I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms, and I will destroy the strength of thekingdoms of the heathen; and I will overthrow the chariots, an d those that ride in them;and the horses and their riders shall come down, every one by the sword of his brother.

23In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, will I take thee, O Zerubbabel, my servant, the sonof Shealtiel, saith the LORD, and will make the e as a signet: for I have chosen thee, saith

the LORD of hosts..... .

Notice in Haggai Chapter 2 verses ... 21 Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, I will shake the heavens and the earth;

22 And I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms, and I wi ll destroy the strength of the

kingdoms of the heathen; and I will overthrow the chariots, and those that ride in them;

and the horses and their riders shall come down, every one by the sword of his brother we

read : ... .

In Daniel 4 verse 17 we read :

.... 17 This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men.... .

Rapid Events In the Middle East, in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Bahrain, Morroco, Oman, Yemen,Libya, etc caught the USA and UK unawares.

God is shaking the nations. Earthquakes in divers places.

The earth shaken, earthquakes in divers places of increasing magnitude and increasingfrequency .

Look at the floods in Brazil and Australia and Pakistan .

Look at the landslides in Brazil and other places.

The land shaken , earthquakes and landslides.

The sea shaken, tsunamis caused by underground earthquakes.

The Japan earthquake. What the Japan earthquake never destroyed , the tsunami destroyedthe weakened structures in its midst and smashed houses and cars and ships like they weretoys in some Hollywood script.

But this was real life. People died. In some areas , what the earthquake and tsunamis leftfire burnt up.

And then there is the radiation leak from the Nuclear power plants that almost went to totalmeltdown. Evacuations had to take place fro a 30 km kilometre radius from gthe damagedpower plant. America wanted it increased to 80 km ).

Different nations re-examining their programmes to build Nuclear power plants.

God is shaking the nations. A nuclear war will destroy all of mankind. God will have to cutthe works short so that some may be saved.

In Matthew 24 verse 22 we read that the Lord Jesus said : .... And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be

shortened..... ( Matthew 24 verse 22).

The Nations being shaken. The Nations shaken financially. Gold and silver thrown in thestreet in the End Time Financial Crash . ( Isaiah 2 verse 20 to 22 ; Jeremiah 1 verse 12 ; Ezekiel 7 verse 19 ; etc ).

The nations shaken Politically. Trouble in the Middle East. Tunisia, Eg ypt, Bahrain, Yemen,Libya, etc .

22 And I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms, and I will destroy the strength of the

kingdoms of the heathen; and I will overthrow the chariots, and those that ride in them;

and the horses and their riders shall come down, every one by the sword of his brot her... .

Look at the Middle East in 2010 /2011 against the above Scriptures.

What is happening ?

Tunisia had a change of Government. The President Ben Ali resigned .

Egypt had a change of Government. The President Mubarak resigned.

Libya is calling for a change of Government. There is a no fly zone.

A coalition of forces imposing the 1973 UN Resolution to enforce a no fly zone.

Iran has ships in the Suez Canal.

The USA fleet is on the retreat.

The USA has handed over military control to enforce the UN 1973 Resolution to impose a nofly zone over Libya.

Turkey was against military action against Libya. Turkey is in Nato. Turkey is flexing itsmuscles in the Middle East.

Saudi Arabia has sent troops into Bahrain. The Muslim countries call it an invasio n.

The USA stands to lose its military bases in all friendly countries in the Middle East.

Israel is being isolated. The USA under the Obama Administration is turning its back onIsrael.

President Barak Hussein Obama that has visited Jewish Synagogues and prayed at thewailing wall with details of his prayer made public of what he wrote on the rolled up paper;President Barak Hussein Obama who bowed down to the King of Saudi Arabia then monthslater turned around and snubbed Prime Minister Netanyahu ; Presi dent Barak HusseinObama that sat in Reverend Jeremiah Wright Church, then ...threw his pastor under the busto climb up the political ladder ... separated himself from that Church to run forPresidency; President Barak Hussein Obama who appears to thi nk that he stands betweenover a billion Muslims and Israel and thinks that he was born to defend Israel against theMuslims has allowed the USA to turn its back on Israel to put pressure on Israel to sign apeace deal.

The Scripture are clear that there are many antichrists. ( 1 John 2 verse 22 ; 1 John 4 verses1 to 3 ; etc ).


13/15

13

However, the Antichrist that will bring peace to Israel for a short time will negotiate a 7 yearpeace treaty which he will break after 3 and half years.

There are several studies and teachings on that by learned Bible Students and men of God.

In AD 70 , Jerusalem was surrounded by the Roman General Titus. The Temple of Jerusalemwas destroyed by the Roman soldiers some of whom were conscripts from countries in closeproximity to Israel.

The Roman Catholic church claims to be the First Church.

The Church started in Jerusalem in the upper room on the day of Pentecost.

Acts Chapter 2 verses 1 to 4 says :

..... 1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.

2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.

3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.

4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, asthe Spirit gave them utterance..... .

The Church started at Jerusalem not at Rome.

What will the Antichrist do ?

The Anti-Christ will broker a peace deal in the Middle East . He will be from Rome. He will bea religious leader.

The Anti-Christ will put in place a Seven year peace deal that will effectively allow Israelenough time make for Israel to build its Third Temple.

After three and a half years the Anti-Christ will blaspheme God and blaspheme the Bible andclaim to be God and cause the animal sacrifices to cease in the third temple and break that

peace agreement . ( Daniel Chapter 9 verse 24 to 27 ).

Religious Confusion in the World. Political confusion in the world.

Turmoil. Confusion. Great shakings in the world. Shakings in the Political Realms. Shaking inthe Religious Realms. Shakings in the Financial Realms .

A great shaking. Political confusion. Trouble in the Middle East. Tunisia, Egypt, Yemen,Bahrain , Libya etc


14/15

The world being shaken. Kingdom against Kingdom. Nation against nation. Earthquakes.Tsunamis. Landslides. Floods. Famines . Pestilences. ( Matthew 24 verses 6 to 8 ).

In Matthew 24 verses 1 to 8 we read :

.... 1 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.

2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying,Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of theend of the world?

4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.

5For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive m any.

6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all thesethings must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be

8 All these are the beginning of sorrows. .... .

God said to Abram ( Name changed to Abraham in Genesis Chapter 17 ) in Genesis 12 verse3 :

.... And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall

all families of the earth be blessed.... .

Many countries of the world today that are Ant -Bible and anti- Christian and Anti-Semiticneed to change their attitude to God s Chosen People. They need to change their attitude tothe Bible. They need to change their attitude to Israel. God will bless those that bless Israeland curse those that curse Israel.

We are in the End Times. ....Look up your redemption draweth nigh... . Amen and Amen.
