GAME-CHANGER: U.S. intelligence assessment says Iran can now build and deliver nukes. Now what?

By Joel C. Rosenberg.. (Washington, D.C.) — In a game-changing development, the U.S. Director of National Intelligence delivered Senate testimony on Wednesday (January 29, 2014) stating that the Iranian regime has all the scientific and technical information, industrial infrastructure and practical know-how to build nuclear weapons. The Director said Iran also has ballistic missiles capable of delivering nuclear warheads against regional actors, including Israel, and is developing long-range missiles capable of hitting the United States...

Will Israel Strike Iran Soon?

Bill Salus was recently in Israel (November of 2013) and visited with the bureau chief for CBN News, Chris Mitchell. Mitchell has recently published a very timely book called “Dateline Jerusalem,” An Eyewitness Account of Prophecies Currently Unfolding in the Middle East. Bill asked Chris a critical question, “Will Israel strike Iran’s nuclear program?” Click HERE to listen to the interview and Chris’s answer.  Interestingly, a breaking article today titled “Deputy Defense Minister Hints at Israel Strike on Iran” (http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/176479#.UtxwSCj0C2x ) talks about an article MK Danny Danon wrote for the Politico website that appears to be a warning about an imminent Israeli strike on Iran's nuclear weapon facilities...he references the prior attacks on nuclear sites in Iraq and Syria, to make the point of what hints that Israel may, soon attack Iran's nuclear sites.  Add to all of this a VERY interesting study written recently titled “The Blood Red Moons Of 2014 And 2015: An Omen Of War For Israel?” (http://thetruthwins.com/archives/the-blood-red-moons-of-2014-and-2015-an-omen-of-war-for-israel)...Is Israel going to be involved in a war during the blood red moons of 2014 and 2015?  According to ancient Jewish tradition, a lunar eclipse is a harbinger of bad things for Israel.  If that eclipse is blood red, that is a sign that war is coming.  And blood red moons that happen during Biblical festivals seem to be particularly significant...Take the time to study each one of these links provided, as they are VERY compelling as to events which are about to unfold, fulfilling Biblical prophecy (Jeremiah 49:34-39) in real time before our very eyes! ...these coming events may also be the final prophetic pieces to unfold which lead to the rapture of the church.  As usual, the information is provided not as any prediction, but for your prayerful consideration - be good Berean's and search the scriptures to see whether these things are so, and “Pray for the peace (and salvation) of Jerusalem (Israel)” (Psalm 122:6), and for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his advisors to be like the men of “Issachar who had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do” (I Chronicles 12:32).

THE TETRAD AND THE TEMPLE
Olivet Discourse - Prophetic Keys to Sequential Restitution

A case for the prophetic sequence of restoration and the convergence of Biblical prophecy pertaining to the Land of Israel, Jerusalem and the Temple Mount.

The Tetrad Theory & Introduction - The Tetrad theory basically asserts that an event or series of events of Biblical proportion, regarding Israel and/or the Jews has and will happen when 4 consecutive total Blood Moons occur in a row without partial eclipses in-between them. The Tetrad hypothesis stipulates that a prophetic event will occur, be it prior, during or soon thereafter in the case of the 2014-15 Lunar Tetrad. This Tetrad event fulfillment will not just be an ordinary occurrence but one of Biblical proportions like Israel being reborn or the Old City of Jerusalem recaptured by Israel. The hypothesis of this coming 3rd Biblical fulfillment presented in this study is based on the blueprint pattern given by Jesus Christ during the Olivet Discourse.

The Olivet Discourse basically consisted of a prophetic outline or blueprint that would involve the restitution of 3 factors that have to be in place before the LORD’s 2nd Coming. The factors disclosed by Christ start with the Temple, then Jerusalem and ended with Israel. Christ foretold that these 3 factors would be destroyed, in that precise order. The Olivet Discourse went on to disclose that miraculously, the same would involve a reinstitution but in reversed order at the End of Days signaled by the budding of the Fig Tree, Israel and concluding with the restitution of the 3rd Temple.

The acceptance of Israel as a sovereign nation into the UN occurred at the middle of the 1949-50 Tetrad. This is when the Fig Tree budded to start the pattern countdown. The recapture of the Old City of Jerusalem to include the Temple Mount occurred at the beginning of the 1967-68 Tetrad. If this pattern is reliable, then the 3rd Temple will be either built and/or dedicated towards the end of the 2014-15 Tetrad. The event or event(s) associated with the Tetrad of ’14-’15 will be just a prophetic ‘step’ towards the ultimate restitution of all things as the convergence of all Biblical prophecy will culminate in Israel’s redemption and the LORD Jesus Christ’s 2nd Coming.

Is the RFID Chip the Mark of the Beast?

There has been a lot of talk among prophecy buffs about the EXPONENTIAL advances in technology today and the upcoming “Mark of the Beast” (Rev. 13:16-18). Many believe that we are living in the very days in which we - as a world - will see the horrific fulfillment of this “chip” technology, which will be applied under the global edict of Satan’s Anti Christ (Rev. 13).  The micro-chipping of humans with RFID chips is a vision that secular utopians hold dear (Psalm 2: 2-3, Rom. 1:18-32). To them it will be the ultimate act of power and despotic control. By this chip these believe that they can control and manage the human population of the world and then enter a utopian age where technology is god and mankind’s savior. By this chip the secular utopian elites believe that they could eliminate currency, control ones actions, monitor one’s health and existence in an ever techno evolving world. The bottom line in this technological vision is not to help mankind but to control the world for their delusional utopian visions...Read the rest of this article and his conclusion (which makes a lot of sense) here: http://www.theignorantfishermen.com/2012/06/is-rfid-chip-mark-of-beast.html

It Is God's Land, and It Will Not Be Divided

The entire world (and the Obama administration in particular) is intently focused on a two State solution - the division of Jerusalem.  Will this actually occur?  We know during the Tribulation period, at the mid point, the antichrist succeeds in taking control of Jerusalem (Matthew 24: 15-18) and in Zechariah 14:1-2 we can see that Jerusalem will again be divided, just before the 2nd Coming, BUT NOT BEFORE. David Ben-Gurion the First Prime Minister of Israel in a speech to the 21st Zionist Congress stated it well "No Jew is at liberty to surrender the right of the Jewish Nation and the Land of Israel to exist. No Jewish body is sanctioned to do so. Even all the Jews alive today have no authority to yield any piece of land whatsoever.  This right is reserved to the Jewish People throughout the generations. This right cannot be forfeited under any circumstances. Even if at some given time there will be those who declare that they are relinquishing this right, they have neither the power nor the authority to negate it for future generations. The Jewish Nation is neither obligated by nor responsible for any such waiver. Our right to this land, in its entirety, is enduring and eternal. And until the coming of the Redemption, we shall never yield this historic right." ...read this excellent article about How a Two State Solution Fulfills End Times Bible Prophecy, and what happened to two Israeli Prime Ministers who tried to divide the land: http://www.nowtheendbegins.com/pages/israel/how-a-two-state-solution-fulfills-end-times-bible-prophecy.htm ...”Jerusalem will not be divided “so long as I’m prime minister,” ~ Benjamin Netanyah - a lesson well learned!!

PROPHETIC TWIST TO SHARON'S IMMINENT DEATH

Massive snowstorm shuts down Jerusalem - 20 inches of snow - an unprecedented storm

Jerusalem on Friday night was in the midst of a storm feared to be “three times worse” than the snows that had hit Thursday and earlier Friday, and much of the rest of the country was grappling with stormy conditions expected to last into Saturday...Haifa was hit with its first snowfall in 22 years...a rare and punishing winter storm dumped several centimeters of snow on the capital, shutting it down and stranding thousands of people on area roads...And it’s not over. After setting a December record for snowfall on Thursday with some 30-50 centimeters across the country, flurries are expected to continue in Jerusalem throughout the day Friday...Around 2,000 people were rescued from vehicles during the night...http://www.timesofisrael.com/jerusalem-braces-for-storm-three-times-worse-than-what-has-been-seen-so-far/...http://www.timesofisrael.com/mayor-barkat-were-facing-a-storm-like-weve-never-seen-before/...Snow is the symbol of purity and cleanness, giving us some of our most beautiful passages of Scripture: "Wash me and I shall be whiter than snow" (Psalms 51:7); "Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow" (Isaiah 1:18). Carrying the figure farther, snow-water might be expected to have a special value for cleansing: "If I wash myself with snow-water" (Job 9:30). The most common use in Scripture is to denote whiteness in color and implying purity as well: "His raiment was white as snow" (Daniel 7:9; Matthew 28:3; Mark 9:3; Revelation 1:14)...Prominent kabbalist Rabbi David Batzri says white flakes falling on Israel are a message to Jewish people that their sins have been forgiven...In the coming prophetic wars, specifically Psalm 83, Jeremiah 49 and Ezekiel 38,39, it is the hand of the Lord with and on the IDF and directly the hand of God against the armies of the War of Gog & Magog that bring a staggering victory, and here is the kicker - read Ezekiel 38, 39 again and specifically 39:21-29 “...So the house of Israel shall know that I am the Lord their God from that day forward...Therefore thus says the Lord God: ‘Now I will bring back the captives of Jacob, and have mercy on the whole house of Israel...then they shall know that I am the Lord their God...And I will not hide My face from them anymore; for I shall have poured out My Spirit on the house of Israel,’ says the Lord God.”...These very soon coming Wars as prophesied may be just prior to the Rapture, concurrent with the Rapture or very close after the Rapture of the church...at the appointed time thereafter starts the Tribulation period (at the confirmation of the covenant Daniel 9:27) ...God’s purpose for the Tribulation is 1) a punishment upon the whole world for its sins against God; 2) a world-wide revival as God will evangelize the world by the means of the 144,000 Jews and thus fulfill the prophecy found in Matthew 24:14; and 3) the most glorious and important purposes of the tribulation will be the conversion of Israel...In the Tribulation, after the wars and judgements of God where He purges the unrepentant and ungodly of the Jews Ezekiel 20:37-38 their will be a remnant of believing Jews left “And so ALL Israel will be saved, as it is written: “The Deliverer will come out of Zion, And He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob; For this is My covenant with them, WHEN I TAKE AWAY THEIR SINS” Romans 11:26-27 - see the picture? "Wash me and I shall be whiter than snow" (Psalms 51:7); "Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow" (Isaiah 1:18) ...this “unprecedented” snow storm hits Israel on the very day when (Obama/Kerry) John Kerry is back in Israel (his ninth trip of the year) to force a peace agreement, the dividing of Jerusalem and of their land.  Normally a 20-minute drive, it took Kerry over 2 hours to get back to Jerusalem after a meeting with  Mahmoud Abbas (http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4464974,00.html)...clearly, this entire unprecedented snow storm seems to be a Harbinger (something that presages or foreshadows what is to come) for Israel.  While the U.S. is putting profound pressure on Israel by the Iran nuke agreement and a forced “peace and security” agreement with Palestine.  The God of Israel sends them (and the world) a picture, a reminder, a harbinger message that He is the Lord their God and willing to have mercy on the whole house of Israel, and take away their sins washing them whiter than snow.  “Pray for the peace (and salvation) of Jerusalem (Israel)” Psalm 122:6
