1 Chronicles 12:32

"...the men of Issachar, understood the times and knew how to respond."

 

In the midst of intensifying and greater frequency of natural disasters, economic and social calamity and moral depravity around the world, what makes this time in history different from any other?

The answer is Israel - the rebirth of Israel as a nation which occurred in 1948. Jesus stated in Matthew 24:32-34 that in addition to the disasters I've posted, the generation that saw the rebirth of Israel would see Christ's Second Coming. (See Friday's post for more.)

Whoa! Are you hearing this? Are you giving your heart permission to grasp the times we are living in? Or are you continuing through the motions of each day with your head buried in your own little world?

You will not want to miss a day of this week's posts.  I'll be expanding on Joel Rosenberg's remarks during   his shared 9/11 simulcast with Anne Graham Lotz.

I'll also be discussing ideologies/philosophies and beliefs such as abortion, the homosexual agenda, baptism etc... and relating them back to the Bible.

Now why am I going there?  Because I told you last week, I'm not cheese cake girl.  We need to understand the times we are living in so that we will know how to respond!

NEXT QUESTION:     Why am I spring boarding material from some guy named Joel Rosenberg? 

Other than the fact that I believe him to be a modern day prophet, let me tell you a little about him.  Rosenberg is an evangelical Christian and has written five NY Times best-selling novels about terrorism and how it relates to Bible Prophecy.  The chilling thing about these novels are:

• Nine months prior to the September 11 attacks, Rosenberg wrote a novel with a kamikaze plane attack on an American city.  
• Five months before the 2003 invasion of Iraq, he wrote a novel about war with Saddam Hussein and the death of Yasser Arafat eight months before it occurred.
• Another book with Iran vowing to have Israel "wiped off the face of the map forever" five months before Iranian President Ahmadinejad used similar language.

Rosenberg has been referred to as a "Modern Nostradamus."   Although Rosenberg tries to play down those proclamations, he gives the credit for his accurate predictions to studying Biblical prophecy and applying them to the modern world.
Also, I've been talking about God "shaking us" since the middle of August.  Rosenberg is talking about it too.
That's oneness with a brother in the Body. Do you see why I'll be spring boarding from his material?   (Wonder if he'd be interested in springboarding from my coming material?!)

Next Post:

God is shaking our ideologies/philosophies/religious beliefs and political beliefs. He wants us to return to Him and repent.   

(You'll need your big girl pants for this post!)

See you tomorrow!
