biblical prophecy according to....me!

OK, so to those you who know me at all you must be wondering why I have't commented on the Middle East conflict.
It's taken some restraint to not be all over it and preachy about it, let me tell ya.....it's been, what?....16....17 days now.....it's time for my commentary.....don't ya think????
I'm probably talking to myself, which I'm fine with, however, this blog is a ministry for me and I want to be a good steward of my "air time" so, here goes.....
I believe, based on what the bible says in Ezekiel and I Thessalonians and Revelation, that the conflict in the Middle East is setting the stage for much larger events stated in biblical prophecy which I believe is the invasion of Israel by Gog and Magog(Russia and China).
Those events, I believe will bring the Anti-Christ onto the scene only after the Restrainer(Holy Spirit) is removed( the Church) and that those events will usher in the Tribulation and the false peace spoken of in prophecy.
At the end of the Tribulation, Jesus will return with the saints(those who have been saved by God) to judge Satan and his demons and they will be thrown into the pit for 1000 years in which we will then reign on earth with Jesus during that time.
After 1000 years on earth, will be the Great White Throne Judgment in which God will judge man and those who chose God's free gift of savation will go to heaven and those who rejected God's gift of salvation will go to hell along with satan and his demons.
I have no idea of a time-line for these events, I would not presume to know what is not to be known, but, even Jesus spoke of being aware of the signs of the times just like when the buds appear on the almond tree, you know that spring is near, so we should look for the signs of the times.
I believe the signs are pointing to the Lord's return for His Church very soon and that is very exciting!!!!
If you are reading this and are fearful of these events, then let me tell you how this can be a hopeful time for you.
First of all, God says that He does not want anyone to perish, but for all to have eternal life.
But, God is a holy God and we are sinful man.
Romans 3:23 says:
For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.
Acts 3:19 says:
Repent therefore and return that your sins may be wiped away in order that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord.
I John 1:9 says:
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
And so, God made a way for us to have eternal life with Him by sending His Son, Jesus, to be the ultimate Sacrifice for all our sins to be cleansed.
John 14;6 says:
Jesus said to him, I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life, no one comes to the Father but by me.
John 3:16 says:
For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son that whosoever believes in Him will have eternal life.
Acts 4:12 says:
And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved.
By choosing to believe that Jesus is God's Son and that He died for you and me, then you will be saved from your sin and live eternally with God in heaven.
Romans 10:9 says:
...if we confess with our mouths the Lord Jesus and believe in our hearts that God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved.
It's that simple, really, but you must confess Him as your Savior and Lord.
Matthew 10:32 says:
Everyone therfore who shall confess Me before men, I will also confess him before my Father who is in heaven, but whoever shall deny me before men, I will also deny him before my Father who is in heaven.
Simply pray these things to your heavenly Father and you will be changed.
2 Cor. 5 : 17 says:
In any man be in Christ , he is a new creation, the old things pass away, behold all things will become new.
If you have trusted Jesus as your Savior and Lord you can be sure that:
...your sin is forgiven
You are a child of God.
...God will always be with you.
you will go to heaven when you die.
Now, get plugged into a church that preaches the bible as God's Truth and read the bible every day to get to know God and know His ways.
Tell others what God did for you.
Live for Jesus!
