Scripture tells us that in the end times, lawlessness and men (and women) of reprobate minds will be given over to their their lusts. Jesus recognized this when he scolded the Pharisees saying:
"For you are like whitewashed tombs which on the outside appear beautiful, but inside they are full of dead men's bones and all uncleanness. So you, too, outwardly appear righteous to men, but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness." Matthew 23:27-28.
It's been one of those weeks. Even those who do not believe are asking what is going on in the world and wondering what the future holds.
Is there any doubt that lawlessness is now abounding with such unprecedented frequency in our nation to the point where "men's hearts will fail them?" Have you had moments this week when you were in despair watching the endless parade of violence, commentary, hatred and joy at the mindless killing of law enforcement. Take heart. Not only have these events not taken God by surprise, but He has not forsaken us. Rather, He warned us that this things must happen before His return.
Fortunately for the Christian, we have the understanding that the events we see unfolding before us are the types of things that must happen as the prophetic time clock winds down on this world as the day of Christ's return comes increasingly closer. While it can be difficult, we must find solace in the fact that God is still in control.
John's unbridled passion about the events of the week, from the murders in Dallas, to the convenient handling of the "home brew server", to his sorrow about the possible soon resignation of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, comes through strong and clear in this week's message entitled "In The Grip".
Reference verses:
2 Cor. 4:3-10: 3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. 5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake. 6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. 8 We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 9 Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; 10 Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.

Pinging the End Times Ping List and John Haller’s Ping List
to John Haller’s Prophecy Update
Let’s go back to a 12th century rabbi by the name of Yehuda ben Shmuel. So far he’s batting a thousand. The end times should start 20SEP2017 based on his predictions. Right now we are at the end of the 50 year period leading up to the end times.

Enjoy!
Let’s not forget about what a 15 year old Israeli young man saw when he died last year on the first night of Sukkot that mentions the fate of Israel and Obama among other things.

The following information discusses *nations* not necessarily all *individuals*.
ESAU: Just four letters, yet contained within are both, yes, both "USA" and "EU" - the Christian Nations of the world.
That's no fantastically remarkable double coincidence; it is by HaShem's design and pun intended, spells it out for folks who are 1) spiritually unable to discern the identity of Jacob's twin brother and 2) answers the old question: "Why isn't the most powerful nation in the world, the largest Christian nation in the world, the nation where nearly everything came from, WHY ISN'T THE USA IN THE BIBLE?"
The answer of course is: The USA is in the Bible.
HaShem clearly laid it out up front in Genesis.
'Nations/kingdoms': Abraham-Isaac-Jacob, Jewish; Abraham-Isaac-Esau, Christian; Abraham-Ishmael, Muslim
Gen 17-19: And God said, "Indeed, your wife Sarah will bear you a son, and you shall name him Isaac, and I will establish My covenant with him as an everlasting covenant for his seed after him.
Gen 17-20: And regarding Ishmael, I have heard you; behold I have blessed him, and I will make him fruitful, and I will multiply him exceedingly; he will beget twelve princes, and I will make him into a great nation.
Gen 17-21: But My covenant I will establish with Isaac, whom Sarah will bear to you at this time next year."
Gen 25-21: And Isaac prayed to the Lord opposite his wife because she was barren, and the Lord accepted his prayer, and Rebecca his wife conceived.
Gen 25-22: And the children struggled within her, and she said, "If [it be] so, why am I [like] this?" And she went to inquire of the Lord.
Gen 25-23: And the Lord said to her, "Two nations are in your womb, and two kingdoms will separate from your innards, and one kingdom will become mightier than the other kingdom, and the elder will serve the younger."
Gen 25-24: And her days to give birth were completed, and behold, there were twins in her womb.
Gen 25-25: And the first one emerged ruddy; he was completely like a coat of hair, and they named him Esau.
Gen 25-26: And afterwards, his brother emerged, and his hand was grasping Esau's heel, and he named him Jacob. Now Isaac was sixty years old when she gave birth to them.
Is Abraham-Isaac-Jacob not the Jewish nation?
Is Abraham-Ishmael not the Muslim nation?
Do the (twin) nations of Abraham-Isaac-Jacob & Abraham-Isaac-Esau not share (twin) texts - Torah, Prophets, Psalms, Writings?
What rootstock nation/kingdom do Christians consider themselves grafted onto or even to have replaced? Esau? Ishmael? or twin Jacob?
Is Esau not still struggling with Jacob?
Does Esau not today still relentlessly pursue Jacob with the Esau-led "peace process," even to the point of aligning with Ishmael (End-of-Years Jewish prophesy from thousands of years ago)?
The End-of-Years have clearly started. The video you posted below (thanks) confirms that fact.
20SEP2017 is really Rosh Hashanah, 1 Tishrei 5778, but only for a super-minority of People, to the nearest whole number, zero % of the world’s population.
Mashiach may well already be here.
We have to get through the rest of this Shemitah (the rest of 5776) then the Jubilee year (5777) in order to be the end of days in 5778.
The Shemitah year ended last year.
Yovel (jubilee) isn’t designated or observed and hasn’t been for a long time.
I go by what this rabbi says since he has been batting 1000 up to this point.
Esau is not the west .
There may be some of Esau scattered in the west but Esau is not Christianity (some Esau in apostate Christianity no doubt an even some Esau mixed in Judiasim because of forced conversion) but the Esau that is coming against Israel is not the back slidden apostate Christian west it is right in Israels back yard .
Esau goes to TEMAN their emblem is a GOLDEN EAGLE
Esau is none other that the fake palestinian people trying to talk the world into helping them steal Israels land because Esau hates the everlasting land covenant that God has with Jacobs children
(Obadiah 1:4) Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle, and though thou set thy nest among the stars, thence will I bring thee down, saith the LORD.
(Obadiah 1:5) If thieves came to thee, if robbers by night, (how art thou cut off!) would they not have stolen till they had enough? if the grapegatherers came to thee, would they not leave some grapes?
(Obadiah 1:6) How are the things of Esau searched out! how are his hidden things sought up!
(Obadiah 1:7) All the men of thy confederacy have brought thee even to the border: the men that were at peace with thee have deceived thee, and prevailed against thee; they that eat thy bread have laid a wound under thee: there is none understanding in him.
(Obadiah 1:8) Shall I not in that day, saith the LORD, even destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of the mount of Esau?
(Obadiah 1:9) And thy mighty men, O Teman, shall be dismayed, to the end that every one of the mount of Esau may be cut off by slaughter.
(Obadiah 1:10) For thy violence against thy brother Jacob shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off for ever.
Go back in history -
When Herod refurbished the temple he flew a golden eagle on it that ticked off the righteous priest of that day so much that they scaled the wall to take that golden abomination down .
Don’t believe me that it is the very fake palestinians that are trying to steal the land that are Esau ?
Click the link to see Esau’s symbol
The fake palestinian coat of arms still bears Esau’s golden eagle
(apostate church hates the Davidic covenant and that is why , they can be spotted easily , they claim they are israel- they deny that the messiah is going to literally rule and reign in Israel and sit of David’s throne - no doubt there are some of Esau mixed in there too but it is the fake palestinians that are Esau )
Thank you for that link, a fascinating video. (very long)
The "palestinians" are nothing and never have been anything. They aren't a kingdom or a State or a Nation and never will be despite 10's of billions of dollars and decades of near unlimited support from the US and the EU - Esau!
The following mini essay details Esau with specific Torah and Talmud references. I've bolded the summary at bottom.
Modern Descendants of EsauThe verse in Genesis (25:30) informs us that Esau himself was called Edom: “And Esau said to Jacob: ‘Pour me some of that red stuff because I’m tired’ – therefore he called him Edom”
Later in Genesis (36:9) the Torah tells us that Esau was the ‘Father’ of the Nation of Edom: “These are the generations of Esau, the Father of Edom”
Now it is clear from the Talmud and other sources that the Romans are viewed as descendants of Esau; when Rebecca was informed that she would have twins, G-d says to her: “There are two nations in your womb”
The Medrash on this verse plays with the Hebrew word for nations (based on the strange way the word is written in the Torah Scroll): “Read this as ‘two aristocrats in your womb’, Adrianus in Rome and Shlomo in Israel, Antoninus in Rome and Rebbi (Rabbi Judah HaNasi) in Israel”
The Talmud shows that historically the Jews took the Roman’s connection to Esau very seriously: “Once the Romans decreed that no Jew could study Torah, keep the Shabbat or circumcise a child…the Jews organized a demonstration by night and shouted: BY GOD! ARE WE NOT CHILDREN OF ONE FATHER? ARE WE NOT THE CHILDREN OF ONE MOTHER? WHY ARE WE BEING SINGLED OUT FOR ILL-TREATMENT? The Romans canceled the decree.” (Rosh Hashana 19a)
Whether or not a particular person or nation is a biological descendant of Esau is obviously impossible to determine and not really important; what is essential to understand is that the World view of Esau has been passed down as a cultural inheritance throughout history from Edom, to the Roman Empire, to the Catholic Church, to Modern Europe and most recently to the United States and its ‘empire’ – in other words, Western Civilization as a whole.
And not by coincidence...Rome, Maryland, was the original name of a community within Prince George's County, Maryland, which would eventually become Washington, District of Columbia. Specifically, Rome was the original community name of Capitol Hill, upon which the United States Capitol Building sits.
In 1663, the property that would become the Capitol's site was inscribed in the Maryland property records as “Rome,” its owner a man named Francis Pope. The southern boundary of this property was shaped by a river named for the river that runs through Rome, Italy, the Tiber.
Finally, Esau literally contains BOTH "USA" and "EU," not "palestine." There's a reason for that.
