3-27-21 A Prophetic Warning for Our Nation

Daily Jot: A prophetic warning for our nation – Bill Wilson – www.dailyjot.com Many Christians either state or ask if the situation in the United States means that the end of the world is coming and the return of Christ is around the corner. Certainly, there are terrible things that this generation of Americans has never experienced—the plague of COVID, for example, has caused personal freedoms to be taken away at an accelerated rate. There are threats from other countries. Christians are seeing their values come under constant attack. Let us remember that it is not the United States that is the timepiece of Christ’s return. There is terrible persecution of Christians in other countries such as China, and persecution by Islam. Do you not think those Christians are crying out for Christ’s return? The political, economic or social condition of America is not the axel upon which prophecy turns. America is not found in the Bible. You have to do some pretty fantastic wordplay, eisegesis, and biblical gymnastics to find America in the Bible. It doesn’t mean that America doesn’t exist or has been destroyed. It only means that it is not specifically found in the Bible. America’s role in prophecy today is contingent on its ability as a world power to spread the gospel, influence events, people and the political landscape in the Middle East, which directly or indirectly impacts God’s prophetic timepiece—Israel. Don’t get angry with me, read your Bible for yourself. When we think of the end times, we often think about the great falling away and how there will be wars and rumors of wars, famines and pestilences. There will be earthquakes, persecution, betrayals and false Christs. And as Christ says in Matthew 24:6, “see that you are not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.” Christ lists these events in general even as he says the gospel will be preached in all the world “for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” Then Christ becomes specific to Israel and what happens there. In the chronology Christ provides, it is from Israel that the end time events culminate, and the rest of the world will know that the Lord is God. This is backed up by all the prophets that write of the end of days. So where does America fit in the end of days? Currently, America is an influencer of prophecy. During Barack Obama’s two terms, American policy decidedly favored Israel’s enemies. President Trump’s policies highly favored Israel. Joe Biden appears to be reverting back to Obama’s policies. And this could present incredible danger for all Americans. Matthew 25:32-34, “And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats: and he shall set the sheep on his right hand…Then shall the king say unto them on his right hand, Come, you blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you.” Zechariah 12:9, speaking of the Day of the Lord, says “I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.” The nations are judged. And individuals are judged. Pray for our nation and the souls within.

9-16-23 Santa Staleness

Santa Staleness :: By Edwin Tan Published on: December 24, 2022 by RR10 Category:General Articles My one and only trip to Israel had more than a profound effect on my present-day psyche. It might have been three decades ago, but there is more than a lingering aftertaste. It happened smack in the last fortnight of the year. Surprisingly absent were the familiar sights and sounds of the Christmas most people are accustomed to. Hardly any Christmas decorations in downtown Tel Aviv, if not any of the shopping thoroughfares across the Holy Land. Hanukah was a breath of fresh air – not anything resembling a Christmas carol most people grew up with did surface. The Christmas Eve service in a small Protestant church not far away from Jerusalem’s Old City was awesome; songs that truly celebrated the virgin birth of our Lord, which though seemingly unheard of, were a welcome inspiration to many a soul. There was even one sung in Arabic! So it began, my overt disdain for the secular Christmas t...

9-25-23 The Farm Chronicles: One Christmas

The Farm Chronicles: One Christmas :: By Bill Wilson Published on: December 24, 2022 by RR10 Category:Bill Wilson, General Articles There are a lot of terrible things going on right now in the world. But we are at the time of the year when we, as Christians, celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. We can choose to be impacted by the world around us in its dimly lit arena, or we can choose to let our light so shine. I choose the latter. I want to tell you a little about the Christmas that I had growing up on our family farm in Ohio. I was blessed to be born into a horse and cattle farm that has been in our family for some 200 years. And Christmas, especially Christmas Eve, was a wonderful time for our family. December 24 was my Dad’s birthday. And my Dad was well-loved by his neighbors and friends, so we had a lot going on Christmas Eve. I remember one special Christmas Eve. I must have been about four years old. The night was falling, and the wind and snow were whipping across the barny...

9-15-23 Miracles 2

Miracles 2 :: By Jim Towers Published on: December 21, 2022 by RR10 Category:General Articles This story is a continuation of the exciting things God continues doing in my life. I was supposed to have died a while back, and sometimes I feel as though I may do so soon. But since I’m ready to meet my maker, I have no fear of death. In fact, my evangelistic zeal has only increased, especially as I see the fast approaching of the “Tribulation period” mentioned in the book of Revelation. Insofar as my acting career is concerned, I just finished filming a soliloquy featuring Melchior, one of the three Magi who followed the star to Christ lying in the manger, and am preparing to portray a Jewish Priest on stage. Like I said, God is working overtime in my life, and I will be appearing on stage singing Broadway show tunes sometime in March, so I have a lot of rehearsing to do. In the meantime, I will be signing Christmas carols acapella at a park here in Naples. Since it is a spontaneous th...
