Shalom Precious Partner and Friend of Israel,

The pace of life today has certainly increased …but is TIME speeding up simultaneously? Have you noticed that time seems to be accelerating; the hours, days, seasons, and years appear to fly by faster than ever before? An hour no longer feels like 60 minutes (unless you’re waiting in line or in a queue). One week seems to run into the next. It’s as if we’re watching the blur of a speeding train pass by. The pace of life has certainly increased, but is time speeding up? We on earth do NOT understand time well enough as only God certainly knows the answer. However, if an acceleration of time is occurring, is it anticipated in the Bible? When describing the Great Tribulation period, Yeshua (Jesus) warned us; “And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect's sake those days will be shortened!” - Matthew 24:22. Our Lord said that if He did not cut those days short, man would destroy all flesh!

Yeshua (Jesus) likened the Last Days’ signs to “birth pangs!” The Greek word “odin,” often translated as “sorrows” and literally means birth pangs (Matthew 24:8). In addition, the Apostle Paul reminded us that “the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groans and labours with birth pangs together until now” (Romans 8:21-22). As the time of delivery draws near, birth pangs always increase in both intensity and frequency. Therefore, the creation itself would travail with increased frequency as the time of delivery draws near. Interestingly, Scripture teaches that time is a physical property and is therefore part of God’s creation (Genesis 1:1; 2 Timothy 1:9). Therefore, the dimension we call TIME would also travail, and perhaps increase, as earth’s final days climax.

Certainly, God Himself “changes the times and the seasons” (Daniel 2:21) as He sees fit as He is the one and only Sovereign God! And, He alone determines kings and nations and ordinances and times and seasons. So, it is NO surprise that His Word anticipates this time acceleration. Interestingly, Scripture even informs us that the Antichrist “…shall speak pompous words against the Most High, shall persecute the saints of the Most High, and shall intend to change times and law!” - Daniel 7:25. Another Scripture that imply this quickening of life is found in - Daniel 12:4; “But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.” Today we are clearly witnessing an explosion of available knowledge. With the dawn of the computer, and now especially the Internet, it is estimated that our cumulative knowledge is doubling every five years. And since the Industrial Revolution, multitudes are running “to and fro” just as the Bible prophesied. This exponential increase in available knowledge, and the ability to travel conveniently at accelerated speeds, is beyond what anyone could have imagined!

Those who study Bible Prophecy know that we are living in the Last Days …and the times of these prophesied birth pangs are currently ramping up exceedingly fast. Every major Last Days’ trend anticipated in the Bible is being positioned in place and like a tsunami that sweeps the globe, developments in Bible Prophecy are overwhelming and irrefutable! “The great day of the LORD is near; it is near and hastens quickly!” - Zephaniah 1:14.

Are we now into “Turbulent” or “Perilous” Times just as the Prophet Haggai warned us in Haggai 2:6-7 when he poured out his heart to show that in the Last Days - God is going to shake ALL things and bring ALL nations into judgement? China and their cohorts may have deliberately spread the virus into the world BUT our Sovereign God was not caught unaware and they too will receive judgement in due course. The Prophet Obadiah warned of a time; “For the day of the Lord upon all the nations is near … but on Mount Zion there shall be deliverance … and there shall be holiness!” - Obadiah 15-17. When we think of God’s judgement, we must remember that the Prophet Joel was similarly moved to write about the judgement of God that WILL come upon ALL the nations who have set themselves against the LORD and His ‘anointed ones’, and have sought to divide up God’s Land – Israel; “I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.”- Joel 3:2. The Lord declares His interest to the Prophet Zechariah; “I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with great jealousy.” - Zechariah 1:14. Therefore, it comes as NO surprise that at last we see Israel pressed into critical spotlight of the world’s arena! Through the love his and his Administration President Trump have for Israel and her people together with and Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu the “Abraham Covenant Peace Accord” between Muslim Nations and Israel is being fulfilled after thousands of years and so we are watching Prophecy being fulfilled in our times! But NOT all the Muslim nations are on board yet and some like the Palestinian leader Abbas and Hamas in Gaza who have expressed that they don’t want “peace” but rather every “piece” of Israel. Here the scapegoat of ALL nations is finally being prepared to be sacrificed on the altar of self-interest as the nations seek to heave away the great burden that Israel and Jerusalem have become to everyone; For you are fully aware that the Day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. While people are saying; PEACE and SECURITY (safety) destruction WILL come upon them suddenly, like labour pains on a pregnant woman, and they will NOT escape. BUT you, brothers, are not in the darkness so that this day should overtake you like a thief…” – 1 Thessalonians 5:3-4.

This same theme continues into the New Testament by the writer of the book of Hebrews confirms the judgment which follows “a shaking” that will affect every people and nation on earth in these End-Times Days; Be careful and don’t refuse to listen when God speaks. Those people refused to listen to him when he warned them on earth. And they did NOT escape. Now God is speaking from heaven. So, now it will be worse for those who refuse to listen to him. When he spoke before, his voice shook the earth. But now he has promised, “Once again I will shake the earth, but I will also shake heaven.” The words “once again” clearly show us that everything that was created will be destroyed - that is, the things that can be shaken. And only what cannot be shaken will remain. So, we should be thankful because we have a kingdom that cannot be shaken. And because we are thankful, we should worship God in a way that will please him. We should do this with respect and fear, because our God is like a fire that can destroy us.” – Hebrews 12:25-29 (ERV) Sin has become legalized and codified in our societies and are celebrated openly …and at times even mocking God or anyone who wants to live righteously. In fact, if God allows our increasing wickedness to continue to go unchecked, He is going to have to ask forgiveness to all the other societies that perished for doing much less than what is being done today. God in His great love and mercy delays His impending judgments upon an unrepentant and ungrateful world for a time. He delays His judgements and pleads with us in an effort to bring us to repentance. During this “delay” God calls the inhabitants of the earth to turn around and return to Him (Joel 2:12-14) …but rebellious humanity rejects God’s plea’s and instead marks this period of “delayed judgment” with more ungodly living, even celebrating murder of the unborn which they call abortion, and other acts of defiance and wickedness. Yet NOTHING escapes the eyes of God. Just because there is no immediate consequence, doesn’t mean that we have somehow gotten away with anything. All sins that have NOT been forsaken and repented of will be brought to bear in the judgments of God. There will come a time when we all will have to give the account! Each individual’s decision when made through own choice sets their destiny. 

Perilous times SHALL come! Today we are truly living in a time of “organized chaos” deliberately brought on by Globalists Elites and Liberal Socialist Leaders; China and their godless New World Order agenda. The mainline LEFTIST Media is lying to the people on nearly everything and today the general public finds itself confused and divided on nearly everything. This is deliberate so that they can keep the general public “confused” whilst the Globalists “Deep State Cabal” perform their dirty tricks mostly un-detected by the masses. 

Let’s examine further! After some serious prayer and thought we can only but come to the conclusion that US President Trump had NOTHING to do with the condition we all find ourselves in today …but rather that he was chosen by God to “wreck” the plans of godless Globalists, Deep State, radical Liberals, Socialists, Communist China …and they working their plan together with their cohorts in the Media and Hollywood or so-called Elites! God is using President Donald Trump to openly expose them and their evil works and they hate him for it. Trump is God’s answer to the Nation of Israel, Western Capitalist Countries who proclaim to be Christian, the Church and especially to the true Judeo-Christian believers who have asked God to give the United States one last chance!

These radical Liberal Democrats as we clearly see literally intimidate clueless people through “deception” by beating them into submission through these planned riots, looting and lies …and in fact we see this on a smaller scale in South Africa with the murder of farmers. The powerful rich control the masses through hatred and racialism simply to succeed in getting what they can’t get legally by voting …and are using Covid-19 Virus with help of China to force their planned evil agendas. They will go to any lengths to “steal” an election by constant “brain-washing” the youth and blinding them with the teachings of Socialism and Marxism and radical Liberalism! And, while all this is happening Islam is watching their “prey” as they sit perched like vultures anxiously waiting for the right moment to take over the reins from the ignorant West after it has devoured itself! More than ever before it is our opinion that had the Democrats had won the election way back in 2016 there would be very little left of the America today but would rather look more like Obama’s Sodom and Gomorrah. Is that important? Yes! Whatever happens in America has a domino effect upon the Western World and will send shock waves throughout! We are NOT excluded and will affect ALL of us who believe in God of the Bible and freedom!

Did you know radical Muslims do NOT support abortion, Israel, Jews, Christians and the Bible nor do they support the LGBTQ movement! So, why are the Muslims in America mostly the radical Islamists now supporting Democrats but NOT Republicans who believe in the sanctity of life? Islam recognizes the advantage of being allied with the radical secular LEFT who they know love a pernicious ungodly living, hate America and want to destroy their culture of freedom! So, here is their plan - all Muslims have to do is fight together with the Leftists who they know WILL vote with them against President Trump especially since he is supported by the Evangelical Christians who Islam is also fighting against. This clearly is the plan of Islam; “the enemy of my enemy is my friend!”

For example; leading Socialists like Bernie Sanders (who is a Jew by name only) …and radical Islamists Ilhan Omar join together with common purpose to destroy America. Sadly, most American Orthodox Jews (unlike Jews living in Israel fighting for the land and facing attacks daily) have little regard for Israel and have clearly forgotten the Holocaust since they have also joined the radical LEFT! This will turn out to their own detriment as History will recall. We believe that American Jews are more secular and would rather stand with the immoral radical Left and their Islamist and Socialist friends …rather than with President Trump and Evangelical Judeo-Christians who are pro-life, believing in Biblical marriage between man and woman …and truly love and support Israel. The plan of radical Islam is to wait quietly and patiently as their end plans are different to the radical Leftists since they want to see America and the West as Islamic and under Shariah Law. And so, if the radical Leftists eventually succeed in removing conservatives and the Church - watch these words; the next fight Islam WILL have in America WILL be against their so-called friends – the radical LEFT Democrats! Doesn’t make sense? Or does it? 

This “radical change” did NOT just happen overnight… it happened a decade or more ago with Obama’s own words “radically change America!” Over time the LEFT simply moved into Hollywood, Media, Universities, Schools and control of the minds of the youth! We must NOT remain silent but rather fight back as believers! Our Lord Yeshua (Jesus) is our example as He was meek NOT weak! Freedom MUST be fought for NOT surrendered! Once again please don’t think South Africa is any different from America as the present government has been in power for over 26 years and are all in the bed with Communist China, Cuba and clearly support Marxism. They want to keep the poor – poor and themselves rich! That is what Socialism is all about and it is Marxism! AS believers we ARE God’s arms and hands on earth and He is on our side – we must NOT hide in FEAR …but as His Church stand together for TRUTH!

“This know also, that in the last days perilous (fierce, difficult, dangerous, terrible) times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.” – 2 Timothy 2:14. Today we clearly see so much pride and arrogance and the same sin that ousted Lucifer from the presence of God is still operating in many ways. It is a universal sign of the End Times, and we don’t need to look far to see Satan project himself. 

Was the Covid-19 Virus “a sign” for people to repent of their sins?  “YES, we believe so!” It’s also the beginning of the separating the “tares from the wheat.” While the people are kept masked and locked up in a state of confusion it is becoming clear that DESTRUCTION is moving quietly towards Western Nations on Land, by Sea and Air …and this destruction has a name – CHINA! China has come to the conclusion that if they are to survive and much less become the only world super power then they have to first destroy the United States as the it is the Bastian of Western Civilization. And, if we are keeping up with International News, we know China is moving things into position very quickly as possible. They already fired their first shot and it’s called; “COVID 19!” 

The good news is that God is beginning to rise up an army or “spiritual movement” in the Holy Spirit (Ruach Ha Koddesh) and a revival like none other …the LAST revival!  God has begun separating the “tares from the wheat” removing wheat from the destructive chaff …even in His Church bringing together the true believers in the Spirit to do His work in these End-times or “Last Days!” 

 As large as the Islamic problem is that it has destroyed most of Europe, Syria and even taken over some US-cities and it is today no problem to China and Russia. Communism knows how to handle this world without the United States around as they have been helped with Liberal Democrats and Socialists from within America who they know that they can control.  And, as far as the world’s population problem that Bill Gates talks about, when the dust settles that problem will have been eradicated with less than a 1/3 of its population surviving! Look clearly at what is happening today and prove or disprove what we are telling you. They are ALL in this together! America stands at a cross-road and it is our crossroad too. President Trump is the Leader whom God has placed in the White House “for a time such as this” though he is facing so many attacks, hatred and character assassination …but is holding them back for now!

Today conflict exists between God’s Kingdom and the governments of this world but; “…to him there were given rulership, honour, and a kingdom, that the peoples, nations, and language groups should all serve him. His rulership is an everlasting rulership that will not pass away, and his kingdom will not be destroyed.” - Daniel 7:14. The Kingdom of God is a real government, established by God Himself together with His Son Yeshua (Jesus) - christened as it’s King. But. NOT all people are willing to submit to God’s Kingdom. Most Western Leaders today advertise themselves as; the “defenders of freedom and for the oppressed” …but even Totalitarian Dictatorships claim that too! Today as believers we who are trying to be true to God and faithful to His Kingdom can find ourselves accused of “subversion;” i.e. troublemaking; sabotage; defiance; rebellion etc. - in courts of the world.

Yeshua (Jesus) forewarned us; "…look out for yourselves; people will hand you over to local courts, and you will be put on the stand before governors and kings for my sake," Mark 13:9. True Judeo-Christian believers do not seek to overthrow present governments …but instead seek to teach people Biblical truths and to put their faith in Almighty God and His Laws instead - as this is a perfect government! So, Christians consider it a privilege and duty to defend their obedience to God’s Authority before the worldly courts and often had good results doing so. Our God is a Holy and Righteous God and HAS exposed wickedness …and as 2020 has definitely shown us! And so, Governments that demand “total submission” from their people find it especially hard to accept God’s Laws and they want to remove Him from their society!

As followers and true believers of Yeshua Ha’Mashiach - Jesus Christ today, we have to expect our faithfulness to the God of the Bible WILL put us at odds at times with the laws of man and ungodly world government! You see, loyalty to the Kingdom of our Lord requires us then to answer as did the Apostles; "…We must obey God as ruler rather than men," Acts 5:29. Are you ready as the Body of Christ and in our own lives willing to take such a stand in these End Times? Of course, to take the correct stand, we MUST know what God’s Law is. We surely do not want to defy the “Laws of Man” needlessly because of our misunderstanding God’s will. Nor do we want to obey the “Laws of Man” blindly …being unaware when God would have us do otherwise. The same applies in areas other than law. For example; we may face social pressures to conform to popular worldly customs but NOT all common customs are unacceptable! It should not surprise us to discover that many customs popular in this world are far out of harmony with God’s will and plan! When we discern this to be the case, loyalty to God sets before us a choice …will we “go along to get along with the crowd,” …or will we stand for what is right in God’s eyes?

"All those desiring to live with godly devotion in association with Christ Jesus will be persecuted," - 2 Timothy 3:12. There is NO escaping it! As Bible believing Judeo-Christians it will mean being regarded as; peculiar, rejected, even despised, reviled, and hated, by the many godless people of the world. The world promotes; a self-centred, rebellious independent spirit without the God of Israel and the Bible. In contrast, if the Bible could be summed up in a single word, it would be obedience! “The conclusion of the matter, everything having been heard, is: Fear the true God and keep his commandments. For this is the whole obligation of man.” - Ecclesiastes 12:13. But we see that obedience has a bad name in this world. And no wonder - considering today powerful godless leaders in governments that have demanded obedience in our time. We rightly condemn those who obeyed Hitler or Stalin (and so many others) for not having the moral strength to disobey or to resist …and say if only more had refused to obey then so many innocent lives would have been saved. Actually, if ALL people would stand up for what is right, such despots could not have come into power. However, God can and WILL even use wicked leaders to fulfil Bible Prophecy and to bring about the close of the “times of the Gentiles! “

How do we gain such moral courage? The answer is simple - obedience, to God. Whose law is highest? That of the Sovereign God of the universe YHVH – Jehovah, God. Whose law is “natural?” That of our Creator - God. What is “justice?” It is what is good, what is right! God laughs at the wicked plans of man! And, when He laughs it’s serious!

The Bible assures us as believers that we can be assured that no matter the what God is on our sides; “The wicked plot against the righteous and gnash their teeth at them; BUT the Lord laughs at the wicked, for he knows their day is coming. The wicked draw the sword and bend the bow to bring down the poor and needy, to slay those whose ways are upright. BUT their swords will pierce their own hearts, and their bows will be broken. Better the little that the righteous have than the wealth of many wicked; for the power of the wicked WILL be broken, BUT the Lord upholds the righteous. The blameless spend their days under the Lord’s care, and their inheritance will endure forever. In times of disaster they will not wither; in days of famine they will enjoy plenty. BUT the wicked will perish: Though the Lord’s enemies are like the flowers of the field, they will be consumed, they will go up in smoke. The wicked borrow and do not repay, BUT the righteous give generously, those the Lord blesses will inherit the land, BUT those he curses will be destroyed!” – Psalm 37:12-22.

As a noun, honour in the Bible means “esteem, value, or great respect.” To honour someone is to value him highly or bestow value upon him. The Bible exhorts us to express honour and esteem toward certain people: our parents, the aged, and those in authority (Ephesians 6:2; Leviticus 19:32; Romans 13:1). But we must understand that all authority and honour belong to God alone (1 Chronicles 29:11; 1 Timothy 1:17; Revelation 5:13). Though God can delegate His Authority to others - it still belongs to Him (Ephesians 4:11-12).

The “heroes” of the Old Testament and the “martyrs” of the Great Tribulation, amongst others are of course servants of God and have fellowship with Christ whilst the Bride of Christ (the remnant true believers) has a very special calling as she is seated beside Him; she is equal with Him. She has suffered the same sufferings as He has on earth and now, she has her reward. It is a reward far greater than any given to anybody else in heaven or on earth. She is set above angels - above cherubim - above all of God’s creation, to be a partner and a helper to God’s very Son Himself. The Bride’s job in eternity will always be beside the Bridegroom.  She is there beside Christ, drying tears, and erasing sorrows. There is NO greater reward than this. And there is NO greater use of our time on earth than to prepare for the day of His Coming, in earnest expectation. To be so in love with Yeshua (Jesus Christ) that the lives we live here on earth are worthy of the Bride He wants to marry!

God’s Word is true! He IS watching to see how the nations are treating His people – Israel. God will have mercy on Israel through Gentile believers acting as mediators towards them! This is one of the most amazing revelations ever given to the Church – an opportunity to do something that carries the highest priority in the heart of God. Yet, sadly, so few have seen the potential and the rewards of serving God in this manner - as agents of mercy to Israel and the Jewish people! Israel was and still is despised today and a despised nation continually turning away from God BUT nothing ever altered the purpose of God for that nation. The despised element is always a noticeable element in the purpose of God. When the Saviour of the world came, He came of that despised nation; like Israel… He Himself was; “despised and rejected by men,” …and there is that despised element; “…things that are despised God has chosen,” 1 Corinthians 1:28. Now, more than at any time is the time to support Israel and the Jewish people - the Lord’s Brethren! We are witnessing the nations and people turning their backs on Israel. Thank you for your prayers and generous financial support especially during these very difficult times. With “lockdown” and difficult “recovery” still lying ahead we ARE reminded that the Wuhan Corona Virus has caused many dire needs and continue to increase here in Israel upon the already most vulnerable! Once again – Thank you!

We hope that you enjoy and become more informed by our work. We serve an awesome God and we are humbled by this opportunity to bring you this information. With Shalom to you and your family always,
