ISIS is planning to massacre thousands of civilians in public places around the world in 2016 as it desperately seeks to draw the west into a titanic "final battle".
The sick terror group will activate hundreds of sleeper cells in "dozens of countries" in an unprecedented bid to destabilise western governments and spark a huge military retaliation in the Middle East.
The shock claim, from one of the world's leading authorities on the death cult, comes amid fears of a New Year's Eve terror plot in London and other major world cities.
Islamic State has carried out more than 50 attacks in 18 countries that have killed 1,100 people and injured 1,700 since it declared its caliphate in 2014.
And next year will see a huge increase in both the number and scale of major terror attacks, according to Dr Theodore Karasik, a Gulf-based analyst of regional geo-political affairs who has extensively studied ISIS's behaviour.
He warned: "ISIS's media operation is taunting its enemy to come to fight their Final Battle.
"But first, it wants to show its global reach with zeal...from cells, to lone wolves, to bedroom jihadists - to target landmarks and crowds in dozens of countries across the world."
Dr Karasik added: "There are close to 40 ISIS affiliates globally with millions of adherents and believers around the world. The New Year may ring in with disturbing terror attacks.
"ISIS is an airborne disease and still remains robust as the movement enters into a new combative and aggressive phase.
"Many of us see the change of year as 'turning over a new leaf' and ISIS may do the same.
"The level of ISIS's destructiveness, to force confrontations across the world, indicates that 2016 is likely to be more chaotic than 2015.

Someone post a pic of Obama clapping his hands in excitement..two things make Obama swoon, dead cops and dead Americans..but hey, Islam its just a religion of peace don’t ya know
Well, overall scriptural support for pre-trib is overwhelming versus the scant scriptural argument for “mid-trib.”
Mid-tribbers haven’t carefully read I & II Thessalonians nor Revelation 6-11 (the first 3 1/2 years of the tribulation). God has not appointed his children to wrath and before 3 1/2 years are up, 1/2 of the world is dead. THAT is the “wrath of the Lamb”.
Regardless of believers’ personal opinions, I will see you at the seven-year Marriage Supper of the Lamb while we watch from the Mezzanine as these events unfold .
Are we ready to start playing “cowboys and muslims” yet?
That’s a great question.
There are none within that distance here but when we travel south I’m always disturbed by the number of new mosques.
yeah to me it doesn’t much matter when it occurs- pre or mid- I lean pre- but we had a teacher at a college marv Rosenthal (who then went to work for Israel my glory magazine- make a pretty good argument for mid- not that it swayed me-
[[wrath of the Lamb.]]
And that is why I lean pre trib- the mid tribbers claim the wrath doesn’t happen until mid way through- but I personally believe the whole of the judgments are the wrath of the Lamb- got into a pretty lengthy and at times heated argument about that very thing here on FR awhile back- the mid tribbers did make a good go of explaining the wrath deal, but in the end I think their arguments began to fall apart too much- they claimed the word ‘wrath’ is not used in first 6 seals, therefore the church will be around- but again, when examined carefully- I believe this explanation falls apart-
[[Regardless of believers’ personal opinions, I will see you at the seven-year Marriage Supper of the Lamb]]
Yep- that’s my feeling- whenever it is- we’ll still be there watching the rest unfold and free from the end results- Hopefully it’s before, but if not, we’ll just have to endure until we are raptured- that’s all
Yeah, again these mid-tribbers haven’t read Revelation or Thessalonians very closely.
Before you’re done with Act One, Scene Four, 1/4 of the world is killed (Rev 6:8). Before you’re done with Act Two, Scene Six, another 1/3 of the earth is wiped out (Rev 9:15). That’s half the world dead during the first 3 1/2 years.
The mid-tribbers fail to grasp that our current trials and tribulations are for our redemptive benefit to build and perfect our faith (James 1:3-4; Peter 1:7). These horrific things are not for redemption, they are judgment on a world that has rejected God’s free gift of forgiveness through Jesus Christ (Daniel 9:24).
I too was confused and puzzled about all of this in my early Christian life, through wrong teaching, etc., until I finally gave up one day and said to God, “I’m going to completely erase the blackboard and let You through the Holy Spirit, teach me what You wrote here”. It is now as plain as day to me but only because I let the Lord through the Holy Spirit teach me. That is really the way we should read the whole Bible. We’ll never get it using our carnal minds because carnal man will never discern the things of God’s spirit.
God bless.
I think that would have only meant another 800,000 dead German soldiers. Long supply lines, the US protected by two oceans and the atomic bomb. The Germans are lucky that the Russians didn't take over the entire country and turn it into the East German crap hole they held for half a century.
[[We’ll never get it using our carnal minds because carnal man will never discern the things of God’s spirit.]]
I love caramel
Yes I personally believe pre trib is the answer- the whole ‘wrath of the Lamb’ being the reason why
True! /s
Nice!
The Temple doesn’t get built until after the Rapture.
That’s good, especially if you feel like you’ve learned that from the Lord, because then you’ve got a solid grip on God’s truth that man can’t shake.
Now, as God leads you, look at Revelation 4:1. Remember, the Book of Revelation is a prophecy (Rev 21:18-19) so what happens to John in Rev 4:1 is a prophetic picture of the church. Check it out. The voice he hears is “as a trumpet”. As you know, we will be caught up to the Lord “with the trump of God” (I Thess 4:16-17). Before Rev 4:1 the church is seen on earth. After Rev 4:1 the church is only seen in heaven (Jews who later who become believers are initially still on the earth (Rev 7)).
I plan someday to write a book about Matthew 24 and Revelation for the exhortation, edification, and comfort of God’s people and also the Jews who need it now and will need it after we’re gone (because it will be their seventieth week - they will be saved but in the midst of great tribulation).
That may be true but where do you get such definitive information that makes you so sure?
[[and also the Jews who need it now and will need it after we’re gone (because it will be their seventieth week - they will be saved but in the midst of great tribulation).]]
Yep- it’s going to be something- Can’t even begin to imagine how rough it’s going to be for them
I did read the left behind series, which if course is fiction, but it was kind of an insight into what things ‘could be like’ during htat time period- and he paints a scenario of some folsk who are rich, getting saved during this time, and coming to the help of God’s people, and running underground operations to help the people etc- I hope for the Jew’s sake and Christians saved during this time that something like this happens
I also watched a history channel or discovery channel show/movie about the end times- and I thought going in that it was going to be so far off the mark that it would be totally false, but I have to give them credit= they stayed true pretty much to the word of God, and just did some scenarios ‘which could happen/play out’ during the end times- it was a very interesting watch- Of course they were off on some things, but not grossly so- Not that I follow John Hagee- but he was the one who put the show together or worked n it or something- and Hagee is big into end times- I don’t necessarily agree with everything he says, but some of what he says is pretty solid biblically-
It describes how the media will likely lie about the supernatural events taking place, how the government will lie about a ‘safe city’ where people can go to for fuel, electricity, etc etc etc and how in order to get in they will need to take them ark of the beast- etc And how the prohpets of God will be supernaturally protectec in those days etc
It was actually kinda neat seeing a scenario that shows how things ‘might happen’ when the world starts to fall apart I n the end times- They also did a good job depicting the trumpet sounds before every judgement- an how the world would hear it- everyone would hear it-
Anyway- just keep in mind that it’s a history channel show and there will be some error- even the left behind series contains some likely, but it was just kinda neat seeing a visual portrayal for how things might develop- her’s a youtube link if you want to watch it

Thanks, sounds interesting. I’ll watch it when I have some time (getting ready for a New Years’ party right now).
Once the tribulation begins, everyone saved will die, mostly by being killed either by the deadly events or by the beast who will behead everyone who will not take the mark and worship him.
It is interesting that the beast most likely is an Assyrian and he kills by beheading (Rev 20:4). This jihad and Islamic supremacy thing will have reached its pinnacle during the tribulation.
But, as I’ve said, I have reason to believe the time is not yet and God in his grace and mercy will usher in a period (maybe a few decades) of gathering in as many as possible from the “highways and byways”. I think the jihad will be beaten back (for now), freedom in America revived, and light will go out around the world one last time.
Happy New Year.
"Stop drinking"? No freakin' way!

That’s an interesting thought because it certainly appears that the middle east is taking over like never before- would be interesting to see a major setback to them orchestrated by God-

Interesting. Walter Cronkite was a snake. Looks like Europe is in for a war. Obama is setting us up for the same with Syrians.
