The Bird of Paradise flower above seems fitting to begin this post, as we will be discussing the Rapture of true believers to heaven (paradise) with Jesus. Also, we will discuss current events in light of Bible prophecy.
To begin, please watch the following 19 minute video on current events in the Middle East featuring Messianic Jew and Bible teacher Amir Tsarfati, who has a thriving ministry and lives in Israel. This video was created and posted yesterday, so obviously it is current.
Amir gives information on the recent attack on Syria by America with Israel's assistance, as well as other useful information pertaining to the last days. I appreciated how he stresses that the people of God should not be afraid, because the Lord is in control. We are the generation that has seen more prophecies coming true than any other generation, says Amir. He gives much encouragement to true believers in the Lord.
He also directs us to the fact that PM Netanyahu of Israel made a video yesterday in English concerning Iran's nuclear plan, as well as the fact that Israel acquired a stockpile of documents that proves Iran lied when the nuclear deal was signed concerning the fact that they supposedly did not have nuclear weapons. Although you may have seen it on the news, I will post this video link with Netanyahu directly below:
We are now watching Bible prophecy being fulfilled in real time. These are dangerous times, but also exciting times. Prophecies are being fulfilled almost daily, it seems. It is important to read your Bible so you can appreciate how true God's Word is and everything He told us about the end times is coming to pass right now. It builds your faith, and also gives you hope that we believers will all be with the Lord very soon in heaven, before the 7 year Tribulation occurs. That is when God pours out His wrath upon all the ungodly and evil people left on earth after the Rapture. The Great Tribulation is also called the time of "Jacob's trouble"... meaning the Jewish people . (Jeremiah 30:7). The Tribulation is also to bring the Jews to the realization that Jesus is their Messiah.
This may seem like soft date setting, to say that Jesus will return soon to Rapture true believers to be with Him in heaven. But remember that "Jesus chastised the Pharisees and the Sadducees as well as the city of Jerusalem for not recognizing the season of their visitation." - Matthew 16:1-4; 23:37-39
Also, do not forget that Jesus gave us signs to look for that pointed to the season of His return for believers. You may find these signs in Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21.
We need to understand the temporary nature of our current existence, as our departure will be soon in light of Bible prophecy.
Are you ready to leave this earth? Are you ready for the return of the Lord? Are you living a sanctified life; as holy a life as possible? Are you surrendered to the Lord and obeying Him? In other words, are you born again? (John 3:3)
If all of that is true of you, then there is no need to panic or to be afraid. Our faith and trust and hope is in the good Lord, and not in this corrupt world. God gives us peace when we trust in Him.
"Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Thee: because he trusteth in Thee" - Isaiah 26:3
"Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." - John 14:27
Those who are refusing to believe in Jesus as their Savior are making the biggest mistake they could ever make in this life. Their eternity will be in torment in hell. I beg you to look to the Lord for help. He loves you and does not wish any to perish. (2 Peter 3:9).
This world is passing away, but he that does the will of God will live forever. (1 John 2:17). Wouldn't you like to live forever in a paradise restored; live among peaceable persons who want nothing more than to worship and praise the Lord ? You can if you will only put your trust in the Lord and believe in Jesus as your Savior. But you must also sincerely repent of your sins, ask the Lord for forgiveness and believe in the resurrection of Jesus. It is not complicated; it is not an elaborate list of do's and don't's. When you begin to live a life dedicated to the Lord, you will want to obey and follow Him, because your love for Him will grow as you draw near to Him in prayer and in Bible reading and study. You will have a hope and a purpose, and He will give you peace.
Romans 10:9,10,13 tells us (9) "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. (10) For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. (13) For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."
"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." - John 3:16
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me." - John 14:6
