Rapture Ready End Times News 31 Dec 2022 Published on: December 31, 2022 by RR7 Volunteers search for rare artifacts in Israel’s Judean Desert “In the last five years we are checking every cave here, even the smallest ones,” “We found here a collection of papyrus from the Bar Kochba Revolt era. This cave suffered for years from antiquities looting. Once we entered the cave we found remains of looting from different eras.” Pledging Deepened Military Ties With Putin, Xi To Visit Russia In Spring Against Backdrop Of War Vladimir Putin in a Friday virtual meeting with his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping hailed Russia-China ties as at their “best in history” and the strategic partnership between the two countries a “stabilizing factor” amid broader geopolitical tensions with the West. Putin vowed to his “dear friend” Xi to strengthen military cooperation with China, while Xi reciprocated by saying Beijing stands ready to expand ties.

Peace Be with You! Saturday, December 31 | Luke 24:36–53 Last week a man came to refinish our kitchen floor. While he worked, I studied Luke on the patio. As he passed by, he noticed my Bible and asked what I was doing. That question began a long gospel conversation. Written many years ago, this record of Jesus’ life is powerful! Luke finishes his Gospel with a final resurrection appearance that adds to the body of evidence. First, while the disciples were still marveling at the reported encounters, Jesus appeared. In His gloried body, He could pass through walls and doors. He came and went supernaturally. He said, “Peace be with you” (v. 36). This offer of goodwill and comfort was more than a simple greeting. Jesus defeated sin and death, and now He offered unparalleled peace. Despite His words, they were “startled and frightened” (v. 37). They thought this was a ghost and were slow to embrace the reality that Jesus was alive. Jesus challenged their doubt and offered additional pr...

Daily Prayer for December 31 CHRISTOPH FRIEDRICH BLUMHARDT In the beginning you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands. They will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a garment. Like clothing you will change them and they will be discarded. But you remain the same, and your years will never end. Psalm 102:25–27, NIV Lord our God, thank you for letting your light shine every day of every year. Thank you that we may always lift our eyes to you, whose right hand will bring true order to everything, even in difficult times. Give our hearts the strength to be faithful in this age, the strength to glorify you. For you remain, no matter what happens on earth. You are our God. You have sent us the Savior and we can draw close to you. Your promise to us stands firm, the promise that your day with its truth and justice shall come, to the honor of your name. May many people turn their hearts to you; may they worship you and call to you for he...

Resolve Never to Waver JOHN DONNE Doe this to day; as God this day gives thee a New yeare, and hath not surpriz’d thee, nor taken thee away in the sinnes of last yeare; as he gives thee a new year, doe thou give him a New-years-gift, Cor novum, a new and a Circumcised heart, and Canticum novum, a new Song, a delight to magnifie his name, and speak of his glory, and declare his wondrous works to the Sonnes of men.

Let the Spirit Control Your Mind Our toughest battles are fought with the person we face in the mirror. December 31, 2022 Luke 15:11-19 How we think determines how we will behave, so we must learn to think of ourselves the way God does—as new creations no longer under sin’s mastery. We can be “more than conquerors” regardless of our previous sins (Rom. 8:37 NIV). We also need to recognize the enemy’s lies and fight back with God’s truth that declares Christ’s Spirit is greater than Satan (1 John 4:4). We’re to focus our mind on things that matter spiritually (Phil. 4:8) so we’ll learn to distinguish between what fits us as believers and what does not. Finally, we must choose what is suitable and reject what is ungodly. The longer we are Spirit-led, the more sensitive we’ll become to His warnings about temptation. Not only that, but we’ll be better prepared to win the battle for our thought life. The Spirit-filled life starts with the gift of the Holy Spirit to all who receive Christ...

Psalm 27:1 “The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?” “For those who feel they are alone, you can stand resolutely in righteousness knowing that the Atonement will protect and bless you beyond your ability to fully understand. We should remember the Savior, keep our covenants, and follow the Son of God as the young sunflower follows the sunshine. Following His light and example will bring us joy, happiness, and peace.” —Elder Quentin L. Cook

Misguided Hope: The Growing Call For A Global Government And World Leader – By Tim Moore - https://harbingersdaily.com/misguided-hope-the-growing-call-for-a-global-government-and-world-leader/ It appears that the United States and several other countries that historically have called themselves democracies are as of late been longing for a stronger and stronger leader, not a president, but more like a king. And, those leaders who do already rule countries with almost absolute authority are not really qualified to take these ultimate positions because they inevitably end up falling into megalomania. For example, Russia’s Vladamir Putin started off as his nation’s president, but then eventually became a dictator for life. Now he sees himself as an emissary for God with a divine calling to reunite Russian and Ukrainian Orthodoxy. The end step in the path towards megalomania usually is to declare oneself as a god or even the God. We see this pattern throughout history. These leader...

The Olivet Discourse in its Entirety - By Mark A. Becker - https://www.raptureready.com/2022/12/24/the-olivet-discourse-in-its-entirety-by-mark-a-becker/ Introduction This survey is an effort to combine, in a cohesive manner, the three accounts of the Olivet Discourse found in the synoptic gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke.

Daily Devotion: Living a Spirit-Controlled Life - by Greg Laurie – www.harvest.org And do not bring sorrow to God’s Holy Spirit by the way you live. Remember, he has identified you as his own, guaranteeing that you will be saved on the day of redemption. —Ephesians 4:30 https://harvest.org/resources/devotion/living-a-spirit-controlled-life/ - Listen There’s a difference between just being in a home and being at home. Have you ever noticed that different homes have their own smells? I used to visit a home that always smelled like mothballs, and after I spent time in that home, I smelled like mothballs too. But then I’ve been to homes where there was some great home cooking taking place. I like being in a room where I can smell the incredible aroma of Italian food, Mexican food, or barbecue. I feel at home in a place like that. When we become Christians, the Holy Spirit seals us and indwells us. The Bible says, “But you are not controlled by your sinful nature. You a...

Daily Jot: The Great Reset Part 6 Counteraction - Bill Wilson – www.dailyjot.com Given the immensity of the WEF/UN Great Reset advances, freedom lovers worldwide must understand that a global “Stakeholder Capitalism” reset—or war—is in progress. The leaders of this economic and social revolution do not wear the uniforms of Soviet Russia, Nazi Germany or Chinese Peoples Liberation Army. They dress in suits and ties and are with WEF partner corporations, globalist political parties and governments, corporate news media, and leftist nonprofits. They are working toward the global utopian society promised by communism and they aim to take away your individual liberty and free will, free speech and the free exercise of religion. It is due time to take action before it’s too late. In an article written for Forbes, Ida Auken, Member of the WEF Global Future Council on Cities and Urbanization, cast a vision for 2030. In the article, “Welcome To 2030: I Own Nothing, Have No Privacy And L...

Bilderbergers Meet to Plan Your Future - By Geri Ungurean - https://www.raptureready.com/2022/06/12/bilderbergers-meet-to-plan-your-future-by-geri-ungurean/ If They Only Knew Our REAL Future and, More Importantly – THEIRS. Fromthenewamerican.com (June 4, 2022) And oh, by the way… Henry Kissinger was in attendance. A secretive international organization of some of the most important “movers and shakers” from North America and Europe is meeting [from June 2-5] to “foster dialogue” on issues that affect the lives of American citizens, as well as those of citizens in Europe and the rest of North America. It is the 68th annual Bilderberg meeting, with 120 participants from 21 countries. Named after the hotel where they held their initial meeting in 1954, they discuss issues of interest to the globalist-minded attendees. This year, the topics for discussion include geopolitical realignments, NATO challenges, China, Indo-Pacific Realignment, Sino-U.S. Tech Competition,...

Mideast Review: Drawing The Attention Of Bad Actors – Amir Tsarfati - https://harbingersdaily.com/mideast-review-w-amir-tsarfati-drawing-the-attention-of-bad-actor-countries/ Israeli secret service and an anti-terror unit made an arrest Monday morning that thwarted a major terror attack in Tel Aviv. The details of the event are being closely censored. Monday night saw Israeli activity of a different kind. Surface-to-surface missiles were launched from the Golan Heights striking Iranian and Hezbollah targets near Damascus. Multiple Iranian-sponsored fighters were killed. A new gas rig arrived in the Karish gas reservoir off the shores of northern Israel near territory that is in dispute with Lebanon. Despite Israeli foreign, defense, and energy ministers releasing a joint statement saying the rig would not be drilling in the disputed territory, Hezbollah still vows to not let the drilling commence. I have been saying for years that the catalyst for the Ezekiel 38-39 War will...

Israel’s Last-days Deliverance – Terry James - https://terryjamesprophecyline.com/2022/06/13/israels-last-days-deliverance/ We have looked many times at how, in our view of end-times matters, there is no more significant indicator of where this generation stands on God’s prophetic timeline than the nation Israel. We often point out that God’s chosen nation being front and center in today’s news is why we believe the stage is now set for all final prophecies to begin the process of fulfillment. Israel’s very existence is a miracle of first order. The Jewish people have been hunted and hated and had genocide perpetrated against them by history’s most horrific tyrants. Yet they were reborn as a nation in 1948, following perhaps the most maliciously ambitious of all genocides–the Holocaust inflicted by Adolf Hitler and his Nazi regime. Yet there they are, just where God’s prophetic Word said they would be at the time when Christ’s Second Advent nears. They reside between enemie...

Melting Down and Running Out of Time - By Daymond Duck - https://www.raptureready.com/2022/06/12/melting-down-and-running-out-of-time-by-daymond-duck/ On June 1, 2022, Anne Graham Lotz, Billy Graham’s daughter, wrote, “Our beloved nation is melting down. The jettisoning of traditional Judeo-Christian values has seemed to erupt at warp speed. Lying, corruption, deception, betrayal, and greed are becoming the norm. Fear, rage, lawlessness, murder, suicides, and drug and alcohol abuse seem out of control. The signs the Bible gives which characterize the last generation of human history are warning indicators. Could it be our world is coming under God’s final judgment? If so, then the time before Jesus returns for His followers is running out.” Here is a link to the entire article: https://harbingersdaily.com/preach-stand-the-time-before-jesus-returns-for-his-followers-is-running-out/ Here are more reports on things that are taking place: One, concerning shortages: on M...
