8-20-23 Prophecy Update: Intertwined Destinies of Israel & Iran

Prophecy Update: Intertwined Destinies of Israel & Iran :: By Gary W. Ritter Published on: October 29, 2022 by Admin10 Category:General Articles Update: 10-26-22 The Middle East remains a cauldron of prophetic activity as we head into the last months of this year. Israel continues to face hatred and conflict from many sides, while Iran propagates much of the hostility directed at its Jewish neighbor. It has been said – rightly so – that Israel is the nation to watch for the final days’ countdown since it is the Holy Land that God claims as His own. Israel is the timepiece – literally God’s prophetic clock – that provides us with the milestones for determining when Christ will return. If we want to know how close we are to doomsday midnight for the end of the world, we keep our eyes on Israel. Likewise, if we want to understand how the final conflicts will impact Israel and propel the world into the Tribulation, we should watch Iran. The two nations are inextricably linked from now to at least the initial stages of the Tribulation, and astoundingly, they will also be connected in the very latter days. This dynamic of these two very different countries, with their opposing religions of Judaism for Israel and Islam for Iran, is fuel to the fires of war that will soon erupt in their neighborhood of the Middle East. Some of us believe that in addition to the definitively foretold Ezekiel’s War that a Psalm 83 War is a necessity as a prelude to that larger encounter. Today I want to review why I believe Psalm 83 is a necessary war before Gog-Magog and how it sets the stage for the elimination of Islam, yet also for the rise of Iran as a nation favored by God. As some of you may know from having watched my previous Awaken Bible Prophecy Updates, what I like to do is provide context and effectively a step-by-step approach to my reasoning and conclusions. Am I always right? Of course not. However, the fact of the matter is that not a single one of us who teaches Bible Prophecy will be correct in every detail. God – being God – inevitably has surprises up His sleeve. Also, just because a certain narrative has been the norm for many years doesn’t mean that it’s necessarily the way things will actually turn out. It just may be that a contrarian approach to the thinking that “we’ve always done it this way” may provide a better explanation for how end times events will turn out. I suggest that you keep an open mind on Bible Prophecy. If any of us is too dogmatic, we may end up in the doghouse. The pre-Tribulation Rapture is the exception to this. The glorious appearing of Jesus Christ for His church is a sure thing. The only issue is how long we have to wait until that imminent and marvelous Day.

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...
