Matthew 12:30 ~ "Whoever is not with me is against me...." ~ Jesus
TIME is running out on your decision of whose side you will be on. If there was a time to take this plea seriously it is NOW. The years of warnings that the watchmen have been sounding is nearing it's end.

It raises questions about why Jews have been targeted throughout history and how antisemitism offered fertile ground to the Nazis."

A day will come when the followers of Jesus will be taken up into the Cloud. The Lord Jesus commands us to come to Him, there is a voice of an archangel (probably Michael) and a trumpet of God. In response to these sounds, the dead are first raised and given a renewed body. Right after that, the bodies of the living are changed, and the dead and the living are snatched up to the sky in an instant to meet the Lord Jesus. Together with the Lord Jesus we will go to the Father's house in heaven and we will be with the Lord Jesus forever💯‼️
What does the Bible say about Israel's war?
Many people make the mistake of reading what the Bible says in Exodus 20:13, "You shall not kill," and then seeking to apply this command to war. However, the Hebrew word literally means "the intentional, premeditated killing of another person with malice; murder." God often ordered the Israelites to go to war with other nations (1 Samuel 15:3; Joshua 4:13). God ordered the death penalty for numerous crimes (Exodus 21:12, 15; 22:19; Leviticus 20:11). So, God is not against killing in all circumstances, but only murder. War is never a good thing, but sometimes it is a necessary thing. In a world filled with sinful people (Romans 3:10-18), war is inevitable. Sometimes the only way to keep sinful people from doing great harm to the innocent is by going to war.
In the Old Testament, God ordered the Israelites to "take vengeance on the Midianites for the Israelites" (Numbers 31:2). Deuteronomy 20:16-17 declares, "However, in the cities of the nations the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance, do not leave alive anything that breathes. Completely destroy them...as the LORD your God has commanded you." Also, 1 Samuel 15:18 says, "Go and completely destroy those wicked people, the Amalekites; make war on them until you have wiped them out." Obviously God is not against all war. Jesus is always in perfect agreement with the Father (John 10:30), so we cannot argue that war was only God's will in the Old Testament. God does not change (Malachi 3:6; James 1:17).
Jesus' second coming will be exceedingly violent. Revelation 19:11-21 describes the ultimate war with Christ, the conquering commander who judges and makes war "with justice" (v. 11). It's going to be bloody (v. 13) and gory. The birds will eat the flesh of all those who oppose Him (v. 17-18). He has no compassion upon His enemies, whom He will conquer completely and consign to a "fiery lake of burning sulfur" (v. 20).
It is an error to say that God never supports a war. Jesus is not a pacifist. In a world filled with evil people, sometimes war is necessary to prevent even greater evil. If Hitler had not been defeated by World War II, how many more millions would have been killed? If the American Civil War had not been fought, how much longer would African-Americans have had to suffer as slaves?
War is a terrible thing. Some wars are more "just" than others, but war is always the result of sin (Romans 3:10-18). At the same time, Ecclesiastes 3:8 declares, "There is...a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace." In a world filled with sin, hatred, and evil (Romans 3:10-18), war is inevitable. Christians should not desire war, but neither are Christians to oppose the government God has placed in authority over them (Romans 13:1-4; 1 Peter 2:17). The most important thing we can be doing in a time of war is to be praying for godly wisdom for our leaders, praying for the safety of our military, praying for quick resolution to conflicts, and praying for a minimum of casualties among civilians on both sides (Philippians 4:6-7).
Danger⚠️
The Lord Jesus repeatedly and urgently warns that in the end times many false prophets and false Christs will appear. The Lord also predicts: 'They will deceive many' . Do not be too quick to say: "That will not happen to me", because the Spirit also revealed to Paul that seducing spirits will come in the end times (1 Timothy 4:1). We must take these warnings seriously. 'Take heed' , says the Lord, 'that no one deceives you.'
What should we watch out for? They will be hypocrites and big egos, who puff themselves up as prophets or even as the returned Christ. They will be greedy. Not only for money. Also to bind people to themselves instead of to Jesus. Like the false prophetesses from Ezekiel 13, they want to 'catch souls' . Their false signs and wonders will draw many away from the Lord. Strange, extra-Biblical phenomena will be attributed to the Holy Spirit in their meetings.
There is an important Biblical criterion by which we can distinguish spirits. The Holy Spirit will always glorify the Lord Jesus (John 16:14). The appearance of false prophets and lying and deceptive spirits will increase rapidly. There are many 'Elijahs' and 'Two witnesses of the end times' walking around. We have been given two weapons against such people. First of all, a thorough knowledge of God's Word. Strengthen yourself with that. Next, the guidance of the Holy Spirit, who gives us the gift of discerning spirits (1 Corinthians 12:10). Pray for this gift of the Spirit.
What did Jesus mean when He said that this generation will not pass away?
This quote from Jesus about the end times is found in Matthew 24:34, Mark 13:30, and Luke 21:32. Jesus said, "Truly, this generation will not pass away until all this has happened. The key to a correct understanding of this statement is context. That is, we must also understand the verses that surround verse 34, especially the previous verses. Jesus speaks in Matthew 24:4-31 about future events. The generation that Jesus says will not pass away until He returns is the generation that is alive when these events take place. Jesus had already told the people who lived during His ministry on earth that the kingdom had been taken away from them (Matthew 21:43). Therefore, Matthew 24 and 25 should be seen as texts about a future time. The "generation" refers to people who will live in the future, when the events of Matthew 24-25 will take place.
Another possibility is that Jesus made a prophecy with a double fulfillment. Some of what He predicted would then take place at the time of the generation where He spoke to Him, and another part of these prophecies of Jesus could then have been fulfilled in A.D. 70, when Jerusalem was destroyed by the Romans. But not all aspects of Jesus" prophecy took place in 70 AD, but only later, such as Matthew 24:29-31. The problem with this view is that it is not consistent with Jesus" statement that "all this" would take place in this generation. The best interpretation is therefore that "this generation" refers to the generation that will be alive when the events take place in the end times.
So Jesus is actually saying that as soon as the events of the end times begin, they will take place in a short period of time. This idea is reflected in many other Scriptures (Matthew 24:22; Mark 13:20; Revelation 3:11; 22:7,12,20).
The "Forbidden Chapter" That Reveals the True Messiah.
Everything changed for Amir when he was challenged to look for the Messiah within his own Scriptures: the Torah, the Prophets, and the Psalms. The undeniable truths about Jesus being the Messiah are laid out for us, hidden in plain sight from Genesis to Malachi. Some Jews even call Isaiah 53 the “Forbidden Chapter” because it paints the perfect picture of Jesus. The evidence of Him in the Old Testament is overwhelming and the prophetic timeline is incredible. If you’ve ever felt the Old Testament was just old stories or “history,” this episode of Truth Be Told will show you it’s actually a roadmap to our Savior.

🩸BLOOD MATTERS‼️
Romans 3:25 (KJV)
Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
The BLOOD OF CHRIST provides:
1.PROPITIATION—Rom 3:25; 1 Jn 2:2 (God’s wrath appeased; pacified, stilled)
2.JUSTIFICATION —Rom 5:9 (to be declared righteous and just)
3.REDEMPTION—Eph 1:7; 1 Pt 1:19 (deliverance, ransomed from bondage to sin, world, and Satan)
4.FORGIVENESS—Col 1:14 (sins pardoned, remission of debt)
5.DELIVERANCE—Acts 20:28 (purchased by God)
6.PEACE—Col 1:20 (harmony, rest)
7.RECONCILIATION—Eph 2:13 (peace with God, friendship)
8.ATONEMENT—Rom 5:11 (cover, purging of sins, at one with God, in agreement with God)
9.PURIFICATION—1 Jn 1:7; Rev 1:5 (cleansed from sin, washed)
10.COMPLETION—Col 2:10; 10:1, 14 (Perfection, Not Lacking)
11.SANCTIFICATION—Heb 13:12; 1 Pt 1:2 (or consecration, set-apartness)
12.LIBERTY—Heb 9:14 (freedom from evil conscience)
13.VICTORY—Rev 12:11 (overcoming the devil, world and flesh)
https://t.co/o7YO8TzuNr ETERNAL—Jn 6:54; Heb 9:12 (Salvation of the soul)
“For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.”
Romans 5:10-11 KJV
There is a very nice reward for those who faithfully follow Jesus. No one can separate us from God, because He will take us to Himself (with the Rapture) and protect us from the power of the evil one (Satan and his demons). Thus, all childrer of God are under the personal protection of God. Although they must suffer as Christians in the world, but through the Holy Spirit they already have a share in eternal life, and we will be together with Jesus at the latest after death (resurrection) or at the Rapture.
