1-14-18 The World vs the Burdensome Stone


Daily Jot: The world vs the burdensome stone - Bill Wilson - www.dailyjot.com
There is a tremendous end time prophecy in Zechariah 12:2-9 where the Lord says, "Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem. And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it...And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem." While Jerusalem and Judah are currently not under siege, on Thursday the world may have witnessed how this prophecy can quickly play out.
The world has been in an uproar since President Donald Trump announced his decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and move the US embassy there. In response, the United Nations Security Council voted to denounce the US action, but the US vetoed the vote. The UN then held a special session denouncing the US designation and "demanded" that all countries comply with the UN sentiment that Jerusalem "is a final status issue to be resolved through regulations in line with relevant UN resolutions." The "demand" resolution passed 128 to 9 with 35 abstentions. The eight nations joining the US were: Togo, Guatemala, Nauru, Palau, Micronesia, Marshall Islands and Honduras.
Turkey's "president" Tayyip Erdogan, called an Organization of Islamic Cooperation summit in the wake of Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. After the summit held last Wednesday some 50 Arab nations issued a declaration that Washington was withdrawing from its role "as sponsor of peace" in the Middle East. On Sunday , Erdogan announced that he intended to move Turkey's Embassy to East Jerusalem and recognize the city the capital of Palestine. He said, "Allah willing, the day is close when officially, with Allah's permission, we will open our embassy there." The UN resolution, which referred to parts of Israel as Occupied Palestinian Territory, didn't mention Erdogan's declaration.
Even America's strongest allies, and countries where your tax dollars fund billions worth of projects, voted with the UN and terrorist interests in snubbing Trump's scripturally-based recognition of Jerusalem as the physical and spiritual capital of Israel. While the resolution has no teeth and cannot be enforced, it is easy to see how quickly Jerusalem can become a burdensome stone for all the nations on earth. One simple action of recognizing the historical capital of Israel has sent the Middle East ablaze with vitriolic rhetoric and violence. In wake of Chanukah, let us remember Psalm 122:6, "Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love you." The world is surely against her.

Little-Known Prophecies of Christmas, Pt 3: Genesis 17:19 :: By Paul J. Scharf Published on: December 24, 2022 by RR10 Category:General Articles The Messiah was a descendant of Abraham. More than that, we considered last time how He was, in fact, promised within the covenant that God made with Abram (Gen. 12:1-3). According to the Apostle Paul in Gal. 3:16 and 19, He is the ultimate recipient of that covenant! Our Savior Jesus Christ is finally the One through whom “all the families of the earth shall be blessed” (Gen. 12:3). Paul also quoted and discussed that portion of the covenant in Gal. 3:8-9. We ended last time with the realization that the promised Messiah would be the final Davidic king over Israel. As declared then, however, there are several intermediate steps, with accompanying prophecies, which are given between the times of Abraham and David and speak about His coming and the offices He would hold as the greatest prophet, priest, and king. And there are also more ance

Christians Using Science Badly: Part 2 :: By Wilfred Hahn Published on: December 24, 2022 by RR10 Category:General Articles, Wilfred Hahn Christians Using Science Badly: Part 2 :: By Wilfred Hahn Reviewing the “facts” that we cited in Part 1, we noted the hyperbole and downright dishonesty in some instances to support global warming claims. Why is there such bias? Money Precedes Truth Global warming has become big business. Armies of global consultants are peddling false information because it is profitable to do so. Many claimed urgencies are exaggerated by factors of 10X … indeed, 200X in some instances and more. Governments are particularly susceptible to this hype, promising infrastructure programs estimated to cost upwards of trillions of dollars. According to a new report,1 an estimated $3.4 trillion will be invested in renewable energy during the next decade, including $2.72 trillion in wind and solar. By 2030, 54.1% of installed capacity will be renewable (including hydropo

9-16-23 It Is Coming

It Is Coming :: By Daymond Duck Published on: December 24, 2022 by RR10 Category:Daymond Duck, General Articles On Dec. 17, 2022, it was reported that Rep. David Cicilline, a Democrat from Rhode Island, has introduced legislation to permanently bar former Pres. Trump from running for president again, and 40 Democrats have signed on. Cicilline is accusing Trump of orchestrating an insurrection on Jan. 6, 2021. At the time of this writing, it is debatable as to whether Cicilline’s legislation will get voted on before the new Congress takes office in 2023, but some conservatives have said from the beginning that the main purpose of the Jan. 6 fake show-trial was to stop Trump from being elected again. Some, including this writer, have said there is no telling what the U.S. shadow government will do to prevent making America great again (MAGA) because they want to surrender the sovereignty of the U.S. to the New World Order (coming world government). It was easy to see this coming, and
