Inevitable - By Daymond Duck - https://www.raptureready.com/2024/06/15/inevitable-by-daymond-duck/
 
Concerning a war in Lebanon, on June 5, 2024, it was reported that senior Israeli military officials said, “Without a ceasefire in Gaza and subsequent deal with Hezbollah that meets Israel’s requirements, Israeli officials say an offensive is inevitable.”
 
Israeli Prime Min. Netanyahu said, “Strong action will be taken against Hezbollah if it keeps up its assault. Whoever thinks he can hurt us and we will sit and do nothing is making a big mistake.”
 
Here is a brief list of things that are inevitable because the Word of God says they will happen:
 
  • The destruction of Damascus, Syria, in one night (Isa. 17).
  • The destruction of Russia, Iran, Turkey, and many of their Islamic allies in the Battle of Gog of Magog (Ezek. 38-39).
  • The rescue of believers from the wrath to come (I Thess. 1:10; 4:13-5:9).
  • A worthless 7-year covenant with many in the Middle East (Dan. 9:27).
  • A godless, satanic world government; a New World Order (Rev. 13:7).
  • A rebuilt Jewish Temple and resumption of the animal sacrifices (Dan. 9:27; Matt. 24:15; II Thess. 2:4).
  • Hyperinflation and a global economic collapse (Rev. 6:5-6).
  • Tracking of everything that is bought and sold all over the world starting in the middle of the Tribulation Period (Rev. 13:16-17).
  • The gospel will go all over the world before the Second Coming (Rev. 7:3-8; 11:3-13; 14:6).
  • The salvation of great multitudes from all nations (Rev. 7:9-16).
  • The salvation of all Israel (Rom. 11:26).
  • Israel will have undisputed possession of Jerusalem (II Chron. 6:6; Psa. 137:5-6).
  • The reign of Jesus on earth for a thousand years after the Tribulation Period (Zech. 14:9; Rev. 20:2-7).
 
And much more.
 
Here are recent events that seem to indicate that the end of the age is close.
 
One, concerning a digital ID (a prerequisite for tracking all buying and selling): Australia has passed legislation to roll out a digital ID by December of this year.
 
The EU wants to require its approximately 450 million citizens to have a digital wallet by 2030 (digital document to have a bank account, make purchases, get a driver’s license, get a license plate for your vehicle, fill a prescription, travel, etc.).
 
In Iceland, a digital ID is required to buy a house, turn on the electricity, get a phone, etc.
 
Tracking all buying and selling on earth is inevitable, and it is shaping up now.
 
Two, concerning government waste that will contribute to an economic collapse: on June 6, 2024, it was reported that since the Biden administration pulled America’s troops out of Afghanistan in 2021 (several U.S. troops were killed during the pull-out and billions of dollars of weapons were abandoned to the Taliban), Biden has funded 6 education programs that cost U.S. taxpayers $185.2 million.
 
In Fiscal year 2023, he gave Afghanistan (which is run by the Taliban) $566 million for humanitarian assistance.
 
The Taliban is a terrorist organization that oppresses women, denies human rights to the Afghan people, killed 13 U.S. soldiers in a terrorist attack, sold abandoned U.S. weapons to other terrorist organizations, and Biden keeps giving them money.
 
(More: On June 9, 2024, Sen. Ted Cruz accused Pres. Biden of sending one hundred billion dollars to Iran that was used to fund the Oct. 7, 2023 attack on Israel and the Hamas fighting that has gone on since then.)
 
(More: On June 10, 2024, the Congressional Budget Office reported that the U.S. has averaged borrowing $4.9 billion a day every day for the first 8 months of this fiscal year. If this doesn’t change, an economic collapse is inevitable.)
 
Three, concerning wars and rumors of wars and the use of nuclear weapons in the future: the Bible teaches that nuclear weapons will be used during the Tribulation Period (Zech. 14:12; Rev. 6:14).
 
On June 6, 2024, Russia’s pres. Putin said if NATO allies allow Ukraine to use NATO-nation weapons to attack Russian territory, Russia can provide long-range weapons to others to strike targets in the West.
 
Putin added that Russia is ready to use nuclear weapons if it sees a threat to its sovereignty.
 
(More: On June 6, 2024, a Russian official said if France sends troops to Ukraine, they will not be immune to Russian military action, and Russia will kill them.)
 
(More: On June 6, 2024, the U.S. military said in the last 3 days it conducted 2 tests of International Ballistic Missiles that can carry nuclear warheads.)
 
(FYI: The Wall Street Journal recently reported that lawmakers are concerned about Pres. Biden’s cognitive decline. Rep. Ronny Jackson – former White House physician to Pres. Obama and Pres. Trump – said Biden has significant issues, he shouldn’t have the job, and it’s a serious threat to the U.S.)
 
(My opinion: Is the U.S. under the leadership of someone who is mentally deficient, or is it under the leadership of someone who is telling him what to do? With Russia threatening to use nuclear weapons, shouldn’t U.S. citizens know who has their finger on the nuclear button at the White House?)
 
Four, concerning an increase in wars and rumors of wars at the end of the age: on June 10, 2024, Norway published results of a study that found that there were more armed conflicts in the world in 2023 than any year since WW II.
 
Five, concerning corruption in the UN, on June 6, 2024, Israel destroyed a tunnel that was more than a mile long with weapons, missiles, explosives, and intelligence assets that ran under a UN post in Gaza.
 
The evidence of a connection between the UN and Hamas keeps piling up.
 
Six, last week I reported that the World Health Organization violated the rules and rammed through approval of a set of amendments to the International Health Regulations (IHRs).
 
The WHO wants authorization to declare a public emergency and take control of everyone on earth (require medical treatments, vaccinations, masks, quarantines, passport restrictions, social distancing, etc.).
 
As I see it, their willingness to violate the rules to get the IHR amendments passed is reason to believe that they will violate the rules after the amendments are passed.
 
Anyway, on June 10, 2024, Worthy News reported that The Liberty Counsel, a Christian non-profit legal group, said:
 
  • The WHO bypassed protocol to secretly pass a resolution that would enhance the WHO’s authority and dictate how nations report, manage, and cooperate in another infectious disease outbreak.
  • While the WHO claimed there was a consensus, it illegally enacted the new legally binding IHRs without a floor vote, contrary to established rules and protocols.
  • Sources said only about one-third of member nations were present for the final approval session, and only 37 out of the 194 member nations supported the revised IHRs, including U.S. delegates.
  • Objections were only allowed after the approval.
 
Here is a link to the article.
 
https://www.worthynews.com/96027-who-illegally-extends-its-global-power-experts-warn-worthy-news-focus
 
(My opinion: Worthy News and The Liberty Counsel are reliable organizations. If I understand this report, U.S. delegates supported a secretly passed, illegal resolution to surrender a sizable chunk of America’s sovereignty to a corrupt group of unelected foreigners. With this kind of corruption taking place, it is easy for me to believe that the Word of God is true, and, as I said above, a godless, satanic world government is inevitable.)
 
Seven, last week I reported that on June 3, 2024, the Biden administration introduced a bill in the UN Security Council to impose a ceasefire and hostage release in Gaza.
 
Biden called the bill “Israel’s Proposal,” but Israel disputed it.
 
Netanyahu said Biden conveniently overlooked Israel’s goal of defeating Hamas.
 
He said Israel didn’t agree to end the war.
 
Israel only agreed to discuss an end to the war, and Israel would only discuss it after the hostages are released.
 
Eight, concerning Biden’s abandonment of Israel and his support for Hamas: on June 11, 2024, it was reported that a poll of Israeli soldiers found that several soldiers believe that Biden’s policies are restraining Israel, prolonging the war, preventing Israel from defeating or deterring its genocidal terrorist enemies, increasing the death of Palestinian citizens, and getting more Israeli soldiers killed.
 
Here is an update on that.
 
On June 10, 2024, the UN Security Council passed Biden’s resolution, and America’s ambassador to the UN said:
 
  • Today, we voted for peace.
  • Israel has already accepted this deal.
  • The fighting could stop today – and hostages could come home today – if Hamas agreed to the deal.
 
Netanyahu said:
 
  • I will not be ready to stop the war. Despite what President Biden said, it has not yet been agreed how many hostages will be released in the first phase. We can stop the fighting for 42 days in order to return the hostages. We cannot stop the war.
  • There are many more details in the deal, and the war will not end without achieving all of our objectives. Don’t pay attention to the publications; there’s a lot of fake news going around. We will not give up on total victory.
 
(My opinion: It seems that we are witnessing deceit in high places, and it is easy to see that leaders would say, “Peace, peace, when there is no peace.” At some point, world leaders will declare “Peace and safety,” but sudden destruction will come upon them. Jesus will break the second seal on the seven-sealed scroll, and peace will be removed from the earth; Jer. 6:14; I Thess. 5:3, Rev. 6:3-4. It is inevitable.)
 
(My opinion: Biden’s Security Council resolution is not a 7-year covenant, but he and others are obsessed with imposing a peace treaty on Israel, and it is inevitable that one will come into being at some point. As I write this, Biden has proposed that the U.S. sign a historic peace treaty with Saudi Arabia. It is not likely that it can pass the U.S. Senate if Saudi Arabia doesn’t normalize relations with Israel, and Saudi Arabia is not likely to agree to that if the world doesn’t recognize a Palestinian state in Gaza.)
 
(Update: On June 11, 2024, Hamas said they are ready to negotiate a hostage deal, but Israel must pull its troops out of Rafah.)
 
(Update: On June 12, 2024, it was reported that Hamas has turned down President Joe Biden’s ceasefire proposal unless it includes a permanent end to the war in Gaza that would guarantee Hamas’ survival.)
 
Nine, this week, representatives at a meeting of BRICS nations agreed that the UN is important, but it needs to be reformed.
 
10 Kings will rise before power is given to the Antichrist (#11).
 
59 nations plan to join the BRICS block this year, and they will no longer accept one nation (the U.S.) dominating the global economy.
 
A New World Order is inevitable.
 
Here is my daily update on the Israel-Hamas war.
 
Wednesday, June 5, 2024 (Day 244): The one hundred eighty-eighth day of the resumed war. Day 30 of the attack on Rafah.
 
  • Hezbollah sent an explosive-laden drone into Israel that killed an Israeli soldier and injured 10 others.
  • Following the Israeli assassination of a high-ranking Iranian official in Syria, an Iranian commander said Israel should wait for a response by Iran.
 
Thursday, June 6, 2024 (Day 245): The one hundred eighty-ninth day of the resumed war. Day 31 of the attack on Rafah.
 
  • Israeli troops reported that they had found the shaft to a terrorist tunnel inside a child’s bedroom in Rafah.
  • Amir Tsarfati said, “The Israeli government made it very clear that Israel’s conditions for ending the war have not changed. Hamas will perish.”
  • Israeli jets killed a senior Hamas commander in Rafah. They also killed the head of a Hamas terrorist group on the West Bank.
  • Israel killed several terrorists at a UNRWA school (the fifth time Israel has killed terrorists inside a UNRWA school).
 
Friday, June 7, 2024 (Day 246): The one hundred ninetieth day of the resumed war. Day 32 of the attack on Rafah.
 
  • Israel believes Sinwar, his brother, and his top assistant are still alive and hiding in a tunnel in Rafah with several hostages and some troops.
  • There are heavy bombings and fierce gun battles in Rafah.
  • The U.S. said it will have its damaged humanitarian aid pier repaired and ready for use in a few days.
 
Saturday, June 8, 2024 (Day 247): The one hundred ninety-first day of the resumed war. Day 33 of the attack on Rafah.
 
  • Israel rescued four hostages in Gaza.
  • Egypt and Jordan (2 nations mentioned in Psa. 83) condemned the raids at two separate locations that freed the hostages. The EU and UN condemned Israel for killing Palestinians during the attacks to free the hostages. One must wonder why they didn’t condemn Hamas for violating international law by holding civilian hostages. That is what made the raids necessary.
 
Sunday, June 9, 2024 (Day 248): The one hundred ninety-second day of the resumed war. Day 34 of the attack on Rafah.
 
  • Three of the four hostages that Israel rescued yesterday were being held in the home of an Al Jazeera reporter.
  • The father of one of the four hostages died of a heart attack just hours before Israel rescued his son. His body was found by those who visited to tell him about his son’s rescue.
  • The Israeli military said it is ready for a war with Hezbollah. (My understanding: The decision to go to war is a political decision, not a military decision.)
  • Israel’s primary opposition leader, Benny Gantz, withdrew his support for Netanyahu’s government, but Netanyahu will survive without him.
 
Monday, June 10, 2024 (Day 249): The one hundred ninety-third day of the resumed war. Day 35 of the attack on Rafah.
 
  • Hamas told terrorists who are holding Israeli hostages to kill their hostages if they think Israel is coming to release them.
  • Israel found and destroyed 80 bombs and the lab that made them in Israel.
 
Tuesday, June 11, 2024 (Day 250): The one hundred ninety-fourth day of the resumed war. Day 36 of the attack on Rafah.
 
  • A booby-trapped building collapse killed 4 Israeli soldiers and injured 6.
  • 300 Israeli soldiers have now been killed in the Israel-Hamas war.
  • Hezbollah fired about 50 rockets into the Golan Heights from Lebanon.
  • Israel killed a senior Hezbollah commander in Lebanon.
  • Even though they are rich and can afford to do it, some Arab nations that criticize Israel’s treatment of Palestinians provide very little aid, if any, to the Palestinians.
 
Wednesday, June 12, 2024 (Day 251): The one hundred ninety-fifth day of the resumed war. Day 37 of the attack on Rafah.
 
  • Hezbollah fired 3 barrages of missiles and rockets (perhaps 165 or more) from Lebanon into Israel.
  • Hezbollah vowed to intensify (in quantity, power, and quality) its rocket and missile attacks on Israel.


FYI: God does not send anyone to Hell (all of us are born with a sin nature and destined to go to Hell because we sin), but God has provided a way (Jesus) for everyone to go to Heaven (and He is the only way to get there; John 14:6).
 
Finally, are you Rapture Ready?
 
If you want to be rapture ready and go to heaven, you must be born again (John 3:3). God loves you, and if you have not done so, sincerely admit that you are a sinner; believe that Jesus is the virgin-born, sinless Son of God who died for the sins of the world, was buried, and raised from the dead; ask Him to forgive your sins, cleanse you, come into your heart and be your Saviour; then tell someone that you have done this.

The Number-One Signal – Terry James - https://terryjamesprophecyline.com/2024/06/16/the-number-one-signal/
 
Most Christians who have seriously studied Bible prophecy for years have given Israel as the number-one signal to watch for.
 
This has been especially true since the Jewish people—hated, hunted, and murdered throughout millennia, and finally killed by the millions in the Nazi Holocaust—came back into the Promised Land following World War II in 1948.
 
Many among the Reformed denominations joined the Catholic Church in writing off the children of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as having any further rights to the promises God made. Obviously, in this collective view, God had given up on them. Their rejection and crucifixion of His Son had, in the minds of these religionists, negated any rights Israel had as a nation.
 
When the Jews miraculously became a nation again in the area surrounding Jerusalem, the chosen people suddenly took on tremendous prophetic importance in the eyes of those who looked diligently into the study of end-times things.
 
Although attacked on every side from the time they were reborn as a nation, Israel not only survived, but grew and prospered as no other people of the Middle East. The land began to bloom like a garden–which was, in fact, fulfilling a prediction from God’s Word about what would happen to the land of promise anytime the chosen people occupied it.
 
Major assaults against the Jewish state in 1956, 1967, and 1973 only proved God’s Word to be infallible. The nation won against all odds in those wars and sent their hate-filled enemies scurrying away in painful defeat.
 
But, just as God’s Word also prophesies, the assaults, although of somewhat lesser virulence, have continued to thrust at Israel, as we’ve all seen very recently.
 
Israel remains at the center of nations in a conflict the would-be, world-governing peace purveyors fear will result in World War III and nuclear Armageddon. These minions, who I am convinced make up the human element of the Ephesians 6:12 wickedness we struggle against, no longer hide their satanically-fostered hatred for God’s chosen nation. They strive to turn all of earth’s peoples against the Jewish state. The following illustrates the point.
 
GENEVA, June 3 (Reuters) – A group of United Nations experts called on Monday for all countries to recognise a Palestinian state to ensure peace in the Middle East.
 
The call came less than a week after Spain, Ireland and Norway officially recognised a Palestinian state, prompting anger from Israel, which has found itself increasingly isolated after nearly eight months of war in Gaza.
 
The experts, including the U.N. Special Rapporteur on the human rights situation in the Palestinian territories, said recognition of a Palestinian state was an important acknowledgement of the rights of the Palestinian people and their struggle towards freedom and independence…
 
Israel has repeatedly condemned moves to recognise a Palestinian state, saying they bolster Hamas, the militant Islamist group that led the deadly Oct. 7 attack on Israel which sparked the Israeli offensive in the Gaza Strip. (“UN experts urge all countries to recognize Palestinian statehood,” Reuters, 6/3/24)
 
Anger and threats similar to those in Germany in the 1930s are again being heard in Europe and around the world.
 
EJA Chairman Rabbi Menachem Margolin opened the meeting with a stark message. “We are in a fight for the continuation of Jewish life in Europe,” he said. “Jews wearing traditional clothing or displaying mezuzahs on their doors are facing relentless harassment. Jewish students are receiving threats on their lives and being excluded from university courses, while hate graffiti defaces Jewish homes, synagogues and cemeteries without any deterrent.” (“Leading rabbi warns mass exodus of Jews from Europe to Israel may be imminent,” Rapture Ready News, 6/4/24)
 
The buildup is accelerating toward the time Jesus said would be a period of trouble unlike anything that’s ever been. He placed Israel at the center of that time of Tribulation.
 
Watch Israel and the world’s increasingly hate-filled treatment of its people. This is the number-one signal that shows definitively where we are on God’s prophetic timeline.
 
This means Jesus Christ is about to step out on the clouds of Glory and call believers (the Church) to Himself.
 
You want to go to Christ when He says “Come up here!”
 
Planet Earth, following the Rapture, will descend into the time of horrors depicted in the book of Revelation. Here is how to avoid that most terrible time of human history:
 
That if you will confess with your mouth the lord Jesus, and will believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart man believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. (Romans 10:9–10)

ISIS in America - By Hal Lindsey - https://www.hallindsey.com/ww-6-16-2024/
 
Most of us can sympathize with many of the reasons people choose to enter the United States illegally. We understand those motives, even when we can’t approve of them. But others are illegally entering the country who have the most wicked motives imaginable. These have come to kill, steal, and destroy. We call them terrorists, and we know they are entering our country.
 
How do we know? Look at the numbers. A “gotaway” is someone the Border Patrol observes unlawfully crossing the border, but who is not apprehended. Between the years 2010 and 2020, many Americans were rightly concerned about what they saw as a border crisis. That decade saw 1.4 million gotaways at the southern border. But in the most recent government reporting, it took just two years — 2022 and 2023 — for the number of gotaways to reach 1.6 million. Think about that — more gotaways in two years than in ten.
 
Only a miniscule percentage of gotaways enter the country for the purpose of terrorism. But it doesn’t take many. Nineteen hijackers carried out the 9/11 attacks. Those who cross the southern border illegally come from all over the world. If someone from Pakistan wants to illegally enter the US, they go to Mexico, then cross the US border. And they are coming from everywhere — including known enemies like Russia and China, and nations like Pakistan, known to harbor terrorists.
 
Staggering as the gotaway numbers are, it gets worse. We don’t know how many people slipped into the country — “got away” — without being spotted. It is a long border. Many terrorists are adept at tunnel building, and we know the border is riddled with such underground passageways.
 
Then there are the caught-and-released. On June 11th we learned about the arrest of eight men from Tajikistan. They are suspected of having ties to ISIS. At the border, officials vetted them and found them clean. As of the time I write this, they have only been arrested on immigration violations. Terror-related charges are expected to come later.
 
In April, the FBI arrested a Baltimore man they also believe to be affiliated with ISIS. After he had been living in the United States for about a year, his home country of Uzbekistan issued an international notice of his alleged terrorist ties. Another year passed before US officials finally arrested him. Even when the State Department vets people from places like Uzbekistan and Tajikistan, we have no real assurance of the person’s peaceful intentions.
 
There are many other examples. At a time when rage against the United States among radical Islamic terrorists is at an all-time high, the United States has what amounts to an open southern border.
 
This concern is more than theoretical. It could directly affect your life. I’m not trying to get you to become a prepper, but I hope you will take practical precautions in the way you store food, water, prescriptions, and other necessities of life. But most of all, pray. God remains the hope of all nations. We need revival among His people and a great awakening among the population at large. We must step through every open door to present the Gospel of Jesus everywhere we can.





Cease the Ceasefire Talks: Allow Israel to Put An End To Hamas’ Chaos, Death, and Destruction – By Chris Katulka - https://harbingersdaily.com/cease-the-ceasefire-talks-allow-israel-to-put-an-end-to-hamas-chaos-death-and-destruction/
 
Shortly after Hamas’s brutal October 7, 2023, massacre in Israel, U.S. President Joe Biden demonstrated solidarity with the grief-stricken Jewish nation. He preached accountability in the face of terrorism, stating, “History has taught us that when terrorists don’t pay a price for their terror, . . . they cause more chaos and death and more destruction.”
 
The White House robustly supported Israel’s military actions in Gaza after October 7; and the president not only endorsed Israel, but he also strategically deployed the USS Ford and USS Eisenhower carrier strike groups to the Eastern Mediterranean Sea to deter further aggression from Hezbollah terrorists along Israel’s northern border with Lebanon.
 
Biden’s remarks after the massacre hold profound truth. Since coming to power in Gaza in 2007, Hamas has exemplified the adage “Give them an inch, and they’ll take a mile.” But it wasn’t long before Biden’s tone shifted. During a press conference in February, the president called Israel’s military operations in Gaza “over the top.”
 
Despite years of enduring incessant rocket attacks from Gaza, Israel always faces international criticism when conflicts arise. Calls for a ceasefire only emerge when the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) respond to escalating rocket attacks targeting Israeli civilians.
 
In December 2023, 153 countries voted in favor of a UN resolution for a Gaza ceasefire; 23 abstained, and only 10 opposed. To make matters worse, South Africa accused Israel of genocide before the International Court of Justice.
 
Hamas’s history shows a pattern of failure to maintain ceasefires. So many ceasefires have been established and promptly violated that the term no longer means much.
 
The pattern is clear: (1) Hamas unleashes terrorism on Israel; (2) Israel responds with military action after days, weeks, or months of escalated rocket attacks; (3) the news media condemns Israel for targeting Hamas bases and launch sites; (4) Israel faces international pressure to end military operations; (5) a ceasefire is brokered between Israel and Hamas; and (6) Hamas breaks the ceasefire. Wash, rinse, repeat.
 
In 2008, in response to several years of Hamas rocket attacks, the IDF initiated Operation Cast Lead, a 22-day conflict in Gaza. Egypt brokered a ceasefire; and almost immediately, Hamas resumed rocket attacks, violating the truce. In 2012, another escalation of rocket fire from Gaza forced the IDF into another conflict, Operation Pillar of Defense. After eight days, a ceasefire was established; but it eroded as Hamas continued terrorizing Israel. Then, Hamas breached several short-lived ceasefires during the 2014 Operation Protective Edge and the 2021 Operation Guardian of the Walls.
 
Israel’s current objective is to eliminate Hamas, ensuring it can no longer govern or operate within Gaza. Ceasefires have proven to be a one-sided deal favoring Hamas. They only give the terrorists time to regroup and rearm, providing breathing room to double down on their efforts to destroy the Jewish state.
 
The international community urging Israel to embrace a ceasefire cannot ignore October 7. As long as Hamas is in power, the threat of another massacre looms large.
 
Psalm 83 is a prayer asking God not to remain silent as Israel’s enemies try to eliminate Israel and the Jewish people. The enemies say, “Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation, that the name of Israel may be remembered no more” (v. 4). As pressure mounts on Israel, we must remember that God will act.
 
We pray President Biden will heed his own words: “When terrorists don’t pay a price for their terror, . . . they cause more chaos and death and more destruction.” So, let’s allow Israel to put an end to Hamas and its chaos, death, and destruction.

There was a time when pageant contestants, in their interview portion, seemed to end with the goal of “world peace.” People want to say it, but do they really want to live it? Everywhere we look today, there is no peace. If people don’t get their way, they throw tantrums, burn buildings, shoot people, start wars, whatever, then blame it on the ones who are attacked. How many times have you been accused of something out of nowhere, and doing such a deed had never entered your mind? But the person accusing you, is doing that very thing? There is so much division in the world today, it’s very difficult to find peace. Like Jeremiah declaring they say “Peace, peace when there is no peace.” But there can be.
 
In the weekly reading of Torah, called the parashah, Chapters 4-7 of Numbers go into great detail about how the Israelite camp is to be set up, the interaction of the priests, requirements for restitution of sin, the necessities of the Nazarite, even how a woman causing her husband to be jealous was to be handled. All these things seem to be unrelated, but spelling them out has deep meaning and purpose. In the midst of these details, the priestly blessing is given in Numbers 6:23-27, “May Adonai bless you and keep you. May Adonai make his face shine on you and show you his favor. May Adonai lift up his face toward you and give you peace.” Some question why this blessing is given after these detailed instructions.
 
In his commentary on this parashah titled Naso (Take), Rabbi Jonathan Sacks says, “The answer lies in the last word of the priestly blessing: shalom, peace…shalom does not mean simply the absence of war or strife. It means completeness, perfection, the harmonious completion of a complex system, a state in which everything is in its proper place and all is at one with the physical and ethical laws of governing the universe.” Consider that God brought order out of chaos when he created the world and with all the creation, it was good and there was peace. God was showing the Israelites what was expected of them and how to have order among themselves. And in that order, there would be peace. It is no coincidence that Naso includes the priestly blessing—a prayer for peace.
 
In fulfilling the Isaiah 9:5 prophesy as Prince of Peace, Christ brought true shalom to all of His people, Jew and Gentile, as is written in Ephesians 2:14-18,“For He Himself is our peace, having made both one and having broken down the barrier of the partition of hostility, by destroying in His flesh the enmity caused by the law of commandments and decrees. He did this to create in Himself one new man out of the two, thus making peace and reconciling both of them to God in one body through the cross, by which He extinguished their hostility. He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near. For through Him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit.” Christ IS our shalom. Through him and by him, we can walk in that day by day, moment by moment, no matter what the world does. Shalom!



Daily Devotion: Three Steps to Renewal - by Greg Laurie – www.harvest.org
 
And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. —Ephesians 3:18

Let’s say, for the sake of illustration, that your marriage isn’t what it once was. In fact, it’s unraveling, and you don’t know how to fix it. You need to go back and do what you did when your marriage was strong.
 
What did you do then? If you would go back and do those things again, your marriage would be revived. Don’t wait for your emotions. You made a commitment before friends, family, and God Himself that you would stand by that person. Are you going to keep your commitment? Do what is right, and the emotions will come in time.
 
Now, let’s apply the same principle to our relationship with God. If we have walked away from our first-love relationship with Him, how do we get it back?
 
We find the answer in Revelation 2, where Jesus tells us how to get back to our first love: “Look how far you have fallen! Turn back to me and do the works you did at first. If you don’t repent, I will come and remove your lampstand from its place among the churches” (verse 5 NLT).
 
First, remember. Remember where you were at your highest point of love for Jesus. When was that high point for you? Was it a year ago? Was it a month ago or a decade ago? Remember that. Keep it in your mind as your point of reference.
 
Second, repent. To repent means to change your direction. Go back to where you were before.
 
Third, repeat. Do it again. What was it like when your Christian life was at its highest point? What did you do?
 
Did you get up every day and read the Bible? Do that again.
 
Did you listen to Christian radio and read good Christian books? Do that as well.
 
Did you pray on a regular basis? Go back and do that, too.
 
Did you go to church and fellowship with God’s people? Were you part of what God was doing? Do it again.
 
Did you look for opportunities to share your faith? Why don’t you start doing that again, too?
 
Remember. Repent. Repeat. We could call these the three Rs of returning to your first-love relationship with Christ.
 
But before we can fully love God, we need to know how much God loves us. Do you know that God loves you? The Bible says, “For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16 NLT). Our love for God is really a response to His love for us.
 
And God proved His love for us by sending His Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross in our place. Jesus said, “There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends” (John 15:13 NLT). Jesus laid down His life for us on the cross. It wasn’t the nails that held Him to that cross; it was His love for us.

"Folks, it's all beginning to unravel. America is in more danger of falling than at any time in its history. But I believe Bible prophecy predicts this very decline. From this point on, we believers have to get serious. We are going to face discouragement, disillusionment and, most certainly, persecution in the time between now and the Rapture. But don't be discouraged or disillusioned. The coming turmoil will provide us unrivaled opportunities to share the good news of the Gospel. So be ready to share your faith and your hope with those who need Christ. We still have time to reap a great harvest of souls for God's kingdom!" - Hal Lindsey
