Beloved, it is fall in New England, and the leaves are changing and beginning to fall; and what fool is there in New England that would say that winter is not coming and we are still in Spring (Matt. 16:3)? So ch is our Last Days world.
Jan and Michelle’s latest weekly edition of Falling Into Place, Jan Markell and Michele Bachmann consider the lateness of the hour. To understand how and why things are EXPONENTIALLY ramping up, just look at Israel, one of Almighty God’s Last Day’s signs to the nations! Oh how crucial it is for God’s last day saint to know biblically the events and signs of our Day!
The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand! Maranatha😊☝️✌️
David
Mark 13:32
Psalm 83:4 – “They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.”
Much written, but the short story is when ALL nations turn against Israel….we are not there, yet.
The heresy of Dispensationalism.
Heresy does not mean what you think it does.
Daniel’s 70th week puts the beginning of the Day of the Lord at seven years. But the time of the Gentiles, which we are now in, has no known timeclock. However, although we don’t know the day or the hour of the rapture - the first part of his second coming which catches the church up to Jesus in the clouds and launches Daniel’s 70th week AKA the day of his wrath - we should know the times and the seasons (1 Th. 5:1).
All but two signs are in place for his coming back IMO. We are in the beginning of the seventh millenium of man, “a day in the Lord is as a thousand years” (2 Peter 3:8), and God rested on the seventh day (Heb. 4:4). I believe the two things yet to be done are 1) God’s mercy of a worldwide incoming of souls before that great and terrible day (Lk. 14:23) and 2) the restoration of the Old Testament temple and sacrifice by the Jews (Dan. 9:27, Mat. 24:15, 2 Th. 2:4).
I also believe that all will be done before this century ends. If I’m right, the 21 century will be the most amazing of all centuries. Just remember that since he comes when you don’t think he will (Mat. 24:44), it probably means that he will come when the world is at relative peace and prosperity and nobody is really begging him to come take us out of this mess.
God bless.
Yep.
Pretty sure the stuff happening in Israel is very important right now. Looks like they may actually have a period of peace now that their hands are untied in dealing with the terrorists. But the cost is world wide hatred of Israel, can’t win them all since it aint over yet
“Much written, but the short story is when ALL nations turn against Israel….we are not there, yet.”
In other words, all the nations will turn against Israel as Israel has turned against Jesus?
The world, the flesh, and the devil will always hate Israel because they are against God. The spirit of anti-christ is prevelent.
“The heresy of Dispensationalism.”
Yes.

There was always a remnant, and the remnant is growing everyday.
God wants us to know at least part of what's coming. He's told us in much of the Old Testament, including Daniel Chapter 9, as well as Matthew Chapter 24, Jesus's prophetic parables like Luke 14:16-24, 1 & 2 Thessalonians, and Revelation.
But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. You are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night. But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation. For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ.1 Thessalonians 5:4-9
On the contrary, all governments are increasingly supporting Israel.

* Why Israel is having a moment in LATIN AMERICA.
* UKRAINE's Zelenskiy calls for world solidarity with Israel.
* Is CHINA waking up to Israel's strategic importance? Beijing rethinks Middle East strategy.
* Modi Puts INDIA Firmly in the Israel-US Camp.
Six AFRICAN countries form pro-Israel parliamentary groups.
Dispensationalists believe that "Israel" will decline in the Last Days while the AntiChrist gains power.
Yet I see the Christian Church declining in power and influence, while the modern state of Israel expands its power.
Could it be that the Israel of the Bible is really the Church?
IOW, Daniel's prophecy was fulfilled by AD 70.
I read this in my Catholic study Bibles, but asked Grok for confirmation of Catholic doctrine.
From Grok:
The traditional and predominant Catholic interpretation of Daniel’s seventy weeks (Daniel 9:24–27) is messianic, pointing to the coming, death, and work of Christ (and often related events such as the end of the Temple sacrifices and the Roman destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70).
Church Fathers such as St. Jerome read the 490 years (seventy “weeks” of years) as culminating in the anointing and “cutting off” of the Messiah, the establishment of everlasting righteousness, and the cessation of the old sacrifices. Classic Catholic commentaries, including the Haydock Bible Commentary, likewise favor this reading (commonly calculated from a Persian decree to rebuild Jerusalem to the time of Christ).
Some Catholic exegetes, especially those employing historical-critical methods, have argued that the passage best fits events under Antiochus IV (the murder of the high priest Onias III, the interruption of sacrifice, and the abomination in the Temple around 167–164 BC). Where this view is held, it is frequently presented as the literal or historical sense that also functions typologically: Onias or the Maccabean restoration prefigures Christ.
Judaism is, by definition, anti-Christ, in that a rejection of Christ is necessary to remain a Jew. I've heard any number of Jewish thinkers say that you can be an atheist (or practice astrology or Buddhism) and remain a Jew in good standing, but a belief in Jesus means you're no longer a Jew.
So on the issue of Christ, Israel and the world are in agreement.
Dennis Prager and Schmuley Botech are two Jews I specificially recall saying this, but I've read others say this as well.
Yes, I know "Messianic Jews" believe in Jesus. I also know that every other branch of Judaism says that Messianic Jews are really Christians.
It was exactly 483 years (”69 weeks”) from Artaxerxes’ command of restoring and rebuilding Jerusalem (Nehemiah 2:1-8) to Jesus’ entry on a donkey into Jerusalem (Dan. 9:25).
After the 483 years or “69 weeks”, the Messiah is cut off (Dan. 9:26). That is Jesus dying on the cross. Then there’s a gap.
At some point, “in the midst of the week” (Dan. 9:27 - AKA the 70th week) this man of sin will enter the temple, stop the sacrifice, and delare himself to be God (Dan. 9:27; 2 Thessalonians 2:4). That hasn’t happened yet. 70 AD was a partial fulfilment of prophecy but the prophecy has yet to fully come.
Although God has always reserved for himself a remnant of Jews who accept Christ (Isa. 10:20-22 - “Messianic Jews”), Israel in general will refuse Christ until they finally turn to him near the beginning of the seven-year period of God’s wrath upon the earth (Rom. 11:26).
