A WORLD OF WOES"Woe is me, for I amruined! Because I am aman of unclean lips.And I live among apeople of uncleanlips." (Isaiah 6:5)“Woe to the inhabitantsof the seacoast ... Theword of YHWH is against you, O Canaan … and Iwill destroy you so that there will be no inhabitantleft.” (Zephaniah 2:5)'Woe! Woe! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth,because of the remaining trumpet blasts of thethree angel s who are about to sound theirtrumpet s ! ' (Revelation 8:13)

HAS THE GREAT TRIBULATION STARTED?No, not yet! But we are back to the Days of Noah, andthe Days of Lot.

“Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it bein the days of the Son of Man: people were eating,they were drinking, they were marrying, and beinggiven in marriage, until the day Noah entered theark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.

“It was the same in the days of Lot: they wereeating, they were drinking, they were buying andselling, planting and building, (as though nothing wasgoing to happen), but on the day Lot went out ofSodom, fire and sulphur rained down from heavenand destroyed them all. It will be just like this on theday the Son of Man is revealed.” (Luke 17:26-30)

Yes, we are living in a world of woes. Just consider theHurricanes, the Floods, the Famines, Wars, NuclearThreats, Terrorism, Plagues, Society being ripped apart,Fire Disasters, as well as the Earthquakes andThreatening Economic woes.

Well might Isaiah say “Woe is me.” Well might Texas,Florida, the Caribbean, Nepal, Bangladesh, India andMumbai, says, “Woe to us.” And the rest of the worldshould wake up and turn to the Lord, because of the woesthat are to come on the whole world.

“For He, the LORD, is coming to judge the earth. Hewill judge the world with righteousness, and thepeoples with equity - justice.” (Psalm 98:9)

UNPRECEDENTED DISASTERS WORLDWIDE

“And there will be signs in the sun and moon andstars, and upon earth despair among nations, withperplexity at the roaring and tossing of thesea.” (Luke 21:25)

HURRICANE HARVEY IS BEING CALLED“THE 1,000-YEAR-FLOOD”

The massive flood following hurricane Harvey haswreaked havoc in SE Texas and Louisiana, and it couldbe the most costly national disaster in US history.

Hurricane Harvey tore through the US causing an event“beyond anything experienced.” It was set to become theworst flooding disaster in America’s history.

Harvey pummelled Texas with 33 trillion gallons ofWater, and lead to record-breaking, catastrophicflooding. More than 185,000 home s have beendestroyed, and “up to one million vehicles” werewrecked.

It is estimated that the economic damage caused byHurricane Harvey will be around $190 billion. (This isequal to the combined cost of Hurricane Katrinaand Hurricane Sandy.)

Harvey is a disaster unlike anything seen in all of UShistory, and federal officials admitted that they areliterally going to be dealing with the aftermath of thisstorm for “years.”

Large stretches of Houston, which is the 4th-largest cityin the U S, have been destroyed.

Hal Lindsey comments: “I don't suggest that thishurricane or the next, is prophesied for these days.There are natural occurrences that occur. I do believe,however, that the upheaval these and other disasterscause, and the danger they present to America'seconomy and infrastructure, may well contribute toAmerica's role (or absence) in the last days scenario.”

A significant number of insurance companies may end upgoing bankrupt because of all the claims that will besuddenly pouring in. At least 13 toxic waste sites inTexas were flooded or damaged by Hurricane Harvey.

People are asking, Is Harvey God’s warning to the US?Or is the LORD judging America? At present it’s warning!

Both President Trump and Texas Governor Abbott calledfor a national day of prayer for the people who arefacing the devastation from Hurricane Harvey.

But Harvey is not the end. Following fast was . . .HURRICANE IRMA, a prolonged category 5 storm withwinds at 185 miles per hour. It was even more powerfulthan Harvey.

Irma made landfall in Floridaon Sept.10. It was so powerful, the weather community didn'teven have an accurate

classificationfor it. There's no such thingas a Category 6 hurricane, sothey're calling it a "Catastrophic 5!" And someone hasalready coined the word “Irmageddon,” to describe thepotential disaster of Irma.

The hurricane developed in the Atlantic and then swungthrough the Caribbean islands. The island of Barbuda was“totally demolished” - 90% of all dwellings werelevelled. It swiped at a number of islands, includingPuerto Rico, Cuba, Dominican Republic and Haiti,before heading for Florida, where a nightmare had beguna few days earlier as more than a million people wereordered to leave South Florida.

The exodus was slow as the highways were choked.Many shops and gas stations were closing; and motoristswere running out of petrol and food. Irma’s fury andhavoc was felt most in the Caribbean. It lost some of itsfierceness before hitting Florida where in one incident,three cranes at construction sites snapped in the tempest.

Half of Florida was left inthe dark. It is expected theHurricane will hammerthe insurance industry –with an estimated cost of$65 billion in damage.

The Federal governmentwill also be hammered inproviding assistance to both Texas and Florida.

By this time two more hurricanes were preparing an

assault - Hurricane Jose and Hurricane Katia, in theAtlantic and the Gulf of Mexico. This was the first time inmodern history, that three hurricanes in the Atlantic linedup to make dangerous landfalls at the same time.

8.1 EARTHQUAKE HITS MEXICO

To top the hurricane disasters, an intense 8.1 earthquake struck in the southern coast of Mexico on Sept 7. It killed more than 90 people, damaging buildings, and triggering tsunami waves.

So people are asking, Are Harvey and the planetaryconvulsions, God’s warning to the US? Is the LORDjudging America? At present we could say it is a warningof what is to come! But it is not only for America!

While in Hurricane Harvey, some 70 people died, in theAsian floods that were continuing at the same time, morethan 1400 people died.

MONSOON RAINS CAUSE HAVOC ININDIA, NEPAL & BANGLADESH

Current monsoon flooding across India, Nepal andBangladesh have left more than 1,400 people dead. TheUN said about 40 million people had been affected inthese three countries.

Widescale flooding stretching across the Himalayanfoothills, caused landslides and washed away tens ofthousands of homes and vast swathes of farmland.

The deluge in India's financial capital, Mumbai was, ina single day, equivalent to a month's average rainfall. Ithalted train services and led to flight cancellations.

Roads were turned into rivers in the densely populatedcity. In one incident, at least 21 people were killed when afour-storey residential building collapsed. Many otherswere trapped in rubble after the downpours wreckedhavoc in much of the financial capital.

Rescue workers, police and residents helped pull 13people out of the rubble, as they continued looking forthose buried in ruined buildings. Two toddlers were

among 14 of the latest deaths as heavy rain destroyedhomes and disrupted traffic. Many parts of Mumbaiwere under water.

The deluge revived memories of the 2005 floods that killedmore than 500 people, the majority of them in shantytownslums where more than half of the city's 20 millionpeople live.

Villages in the Indian state of Bihar were inundated, withpeople living in makeshift shelters for days amid heavyand widespread damage to farmland.

Vast swaths of land are underwater in the eastern part ofthe Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, where more than 100people reportedly died. 3,097 villages were submerged,and almost 3 million villagers were affected by thecatastrophic events.

Flooding across India, Nepal and Bangladesh left parts ofmany cities under water as the storm moved on toPakistan where it lashed the port city of Karachi. Streetswere submerged with water and at least 14 people died.

Two-thirds of Bangladesh was under water, and in someareas the flooding was the worst since 1988. 100,000houses in Bangladesh have been destroyed.In Nepal 150 people died due to the worst flooding in adecade.

The floods have also destroyed or damaged 18,000schools in the south Asia region, meaning that about 1.8million children cannot go to classes, according to Savethe Children. The charity said hundreds of thousands ofchildren could fall permanently out of the school system.

MANY PEOPLE ARE ASKING, WHY ALL THESE

DISASTERS ?Is it God’s judgment on the US and the nations? Has theTribulation begun?

At present we can say it’s a warning of things to come!It’s also a warning to remember what happened in theDays of Noah. Remember, the LORD Yahweh said:

“'My Spirit will not strive with man for ever. ThenYHWH saw how great man's wickedness on theearth had become, and that every inclination of thethoughts of his heart was only evil all the time. AndGod saw how corrupt the earth had become; for allhumanity on the earth had corrupted its ways. And

YHWH was sorry that He had made man on theearth … He was grieved in His heart. … the earth isfilled with violence. ” (Genesis 6:3-6,13)

THE EARTH IS IN TRAVAIL

“The intense longing of the creation eagerly waits forthe revealing of the sons of God. For the creationwas subjected to futility … with the anticipation thatthe creation itself also will be set free from its slaveryto corruption brought into the glorious freedomof the children of God.

“For we know that the whole creation groans andsuffers the pains of childbirth together until now.And not only this, but we ourselves, who have thefirst fruits of the Spirit, we also groan within ourselves, waiting eagerly for our adoption as sons, theredemption of our body.” (Romans 8:19-23)

The Earth is clearly in travail, experiencing the birth-pangsthat will climax in the regime of the Beast. As youknow, before a woman gives birth to a baby, sheexperiences increasing pains. So it is with the creation —the earth which is anticipating the restoration of righteousnessand the reign of God’s Anointed One, is groaning. Sodon’t be surprised when you hear of, or experience,unprecedented climatic conditions. It will get worse.

The good news for the Bride of Christ – those who havebeen redeemed by the blood of the Lamb – Y’shua, Jesus,is that they will witness, but not experience the fullforce of the birth-pains. For Y’shua said:

“When these things (birth-pains) begin to take place,straighten yourselves and lift up your heads, becauseyour redemption is drawing near.” (Luke 21:28)

So believer, stop looking down, but look up. And whenstudying prophecy and currents events, remember,“Prophecy is not to scare us, but to prepare us.”

SALVATION

My dear reader, if you have not yet experienced thesalvation of the LORD, let me put this as simple as ABC.

1. Acknowledge that you a sinner and need Y’shua(Jesus) as your personal Saviour.

2. Believe in your heart that the Lord Jesus died for you,and rose from the dead – and He is therefore able to saveyou. So ask Him, and trust Him, to save you.

3. Confess Jesus, Y’shua, openly, as your Saviour.Scripture says: “If you confess with your mouthY'shua, Jesus, as your Lord and believe in your heartthat God raised Him from the dead, you will besaved; for with the heart man believes, resulting inrighteousness, and with the mouth he confesses,resulting in salvation. For the Scripture says,WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NOT BEDISAPPOINTED.” (Romans 10:9-11)

“The Good News ... on which you must take your stand ... isthat the Messiah (Christ) died for our sins, according tothe Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He wasraised on the third day according to the Scriptures.” (1Corinthians 15:2-4)

It is as simple as that, but if you areconfused about this matter of salvation,call us, or text us, or write, and requesta free copy of our small booklet,“SECURITY BEYOND THE SUNSET.”

But do it soon as time is fast running out.

WARS AND THREATS OF NUCLEAR WAR

NORTH KOREA’S HOSTILE PROGRAM

The conundrum posed by Supreme Leader, Kim Jong-un,has everyone guessing. It’s like a tricky chess game whereopposite sides scheme to topple the kings, queens, andbishops, and move in for the kill. This game may end in astale mate unless one or the other can check mate theopposite leader..

This man Kim is not in this game just to flex somemuscles or to practise mental skills. He is in dead earnest.And being encouraged by Iran, and, possibly byRussia and China, he has produced a nuclear (hydrogen)bomb.

And he is developing intercontinental missiles that couldreach, not only South Korea and Japan, but also the US,Australia and any other “hostile” country.

The rhetoric flowing from both sides has in fact, becomea threatening of Armageddon.

US Defence Secretary James Mattis vowed “a massivemilitary response” to any threat from North Koreaagainst the United States or its allies

Mr Mattis went so far as to suggest that the “totalannihilation” of North Korea is a potential option.But there are many “IFs” flying around out there. Hereare some of them:

* Could you imagine what would happen IF a NorthKorean nuke hit Tokyo or Seoul?

* Even one nuke could kill millions in those denselypopulated cities, and financial markets all over the worldwould almost instantly implode.

* And North Korea also has some of the largest chemicaland biological weapons stockpiles on the entire planet.Within moments of an attack, thousands of North Koreanartillery pieces and rockets would start raining fire onSeoul; and even just a few chemical or biologicalwarheads would cause immense devastation in that city ofabout 10 million people.

* In addition, North Korean forces are poised to invadeSouth Korea at literally any moment, and the only waythat South Korea could survive such an invasion would bedirect intervention by U.S. forces.

* On top of everything else, what IF the North Koreanswere able to successfully launch a nuke or two toward ourmajor cities? Or what IF they already have the technology

to set off an EMP blast high in the atmosphere above thecontinental United States? Or what IF their agents that arealready embedded here start releasing biological agents inour major cities?

The leading world powers’ only real weapon againstthis advance is UNITY. But because this is so elusive,and because a military attack is seen as the worst option -governments are apparently moving towards beingreconciled to living with a nuclear-armed Kim regime.

IRAN SECRETLY HELPED N. KOREAWITH NUCLEAR PROGRAM

British officials fear that North Korea's sudden advanceinto developing nuclear weapons may be due to secretsupport from Iran, The Sunday Telegraph reported.

The close relationship between Iran and North Korea isno secret.

KIM JONG-UN WITH IRAN’S PRESIDENT ROUHANI

ISRAEL IS DEEPLY CONCERNED ASIRAN~HIZBOLLAH NOOSE TIGHTENS

AUG 31. PM Netanyahu's recent meeting with PresidentPutin, failed to bring the two leaders closer to an understandingon the Iranian threat and Russian backing forthe Tehran regime.

Netanyahu met with Putin for more than 2 hours, anddetailed Iran's push for hegemony in the region, itsefforts to destabilise the Middle East, and the need forRussia to take steps to rein in its ally.

"Iran continues to threaten Israel's existence, and it fundsterror organisations and missile plans," Netanyahu said."Wherever ISIS has disappeared, Iran has taken over. Iranis already on its way to taking control of Iraq, Yemen, andin many ways, has already taken over Lebanon.”

Putin replied: “WE WON'T REIN IN IRAN!”

On another occasion Russia has reportedly reassuredIsrael that it will not allow Iran and its Hizbollah proxy tothreaten the Jewish state from Syria.

IRAN IS FLOODING THE REGION WITH WEAPONS

SEPT 7. Head of Israel’s Military IntelligenceDirectorate, Major Gen. HertziHalevi, warns that the Iranian regime isflooding the Middle East with weapons,and is arming most of the organizationsthat are dedicated to the destruction ofthe Jewish state.

“The threats against Israel are fromarmed [terror] groups, most of whichare funded and aided by Iran.

“These threats are serious – but not existential. We’redealing with these threats – both near and far – withdetermination, fighting enemies of every kind. The IDF isworking to ward off the [next] war, and to be preparedwhen it does come.”

“Iran is looking to establish itself in Lebanon, in Syria,and in Gaza, and is flooding the area with deadly

weapons and an equally deadly ideology.”

While the regime in Tehran is making every effort todefeat Israel, said Halevi, Israeli security and intelligenceforces retain the upper hand.

The Iranian regime “is hoping to destroy Israel, but asanyone who is familiar with Israel’s military and intelligenceoperations knows, [the Iranian government] is likelyto be disappointed.”

IRAN BUILDING MISSILE FACTORY IN SYRIA

AUG 15. A report on Channel 2 provided images of amilitary construction site from an Israeli satellite nearQalaat Marqab. The report said this is likely a factory tobuild long-range missiles.

The area the factory is constructed in near the border ofthe Tartus and Latakia administrations, is one that isclosely linked to other military facilities of the Syrianregime and its allies. These include a Russian naval baseat Tartus and Khmeimim air force base to the north,which is also allegedly used by Russia and the Iranians.

IDF CARRIED OUT AIRSTRIKES ONARMS FACTORY IN SYRIA OVERNIGHT

Sept 7. The strikes were carried out on Syria’s ScientificStudies Research Centre (CERS) in Hama close to thetown of Masyaf. The centre is known for the developmentand production of biological and chemical weapons andmedium-range missiles.

The Syrian army confirmed, “Israeli warplanes firedseveral rockets from the Lebanese airspace around 2:30a.m., on one of the Syrian military posts near Massyaf,killing two army personnel and causing material damageto the site." Syria warned of “serious consequences forthese kinds of aggressive activities against the securityand stability in the region.”

The strikes are the most significant attack by Israel inSyria since it destroyed Syria’s nuclear reactor in 2007.

Former IDF Intelligence head, Amos Yadlin, addressedIsrael’s airstrikes, writing, “The reported attack overnightis not routine. It is a military-scientific Syrian site wherethey produce, among other things, precision missiles,some of which will be significant in the next militarycampaign,” emphasizing that the factory struck,manufactures “chemical weapons and explosives thathave killed thousands of Syrian civilians. If it was anIsraeli attack, it is finally an Israeli moral statement about

the massacre in Syria.”

He stated that the strikes sent three important messages:1. “Israel won’t allow for empowerment and productionof strategic arms. Israel intends to enforce its redlines despitethe fact that the great powers are ignoring them.

2. The presence of Russian air defence does not prevent airstrikesattributed to Israel.

3. It’s important to keep the escalation in check and to prepare for a Syrian-Iranian -Hizbollah response, and even opposition from Russia.”

PM Netanyahu has been clear on the threat of Syria andIran and also on Israel’s “policy: We are firmly opposedto the military buildup of Iran and its proxies, primarilyHizbollah, in Syria. And we will do whatever it takesto protect Israel’s security.” - Amir Tsarfati/Behold Israel

RUSSIA STATIONS S-400 BATTERIESNEAR IRANIAN ARMS FACTORY IN SYRIA

Russia has reportedly stationed itsadvanced S-400 anti-missile defencesystem near an Iranian arms factory inSyria, which allegedly manufactureslong-range guided missiles for Hizbollahto use against Israel.

RUSSIA TO BUILD NEW BASENEAR ISRAEL’S GOLAN BORDER

Russia has begun moving troops to the Golan Heightsborder in preparation for a new military base in thearea, according to Lebanese media sources.

IRAN OPERATING UNDERGROUNDWEAPONS FACTORY IN LEBANON

After some speculation, Israel has confirmed that Iran isoperating an underground weapons factory in Lebanon, areality that poses a tremendous dilemma for the IDF whomust figure out a way to destroy the plant without sparkinga regional war. (They are doing the same in Syria!)

GOG AND MAGOG AT ISRAEL’S FRONT DOOR

We have been watching the developments in the MiddleEast for years now, as the play book changes from oneday to the next. No one thought that we would be dealingwith a Russian involvement in Syria, or their workingwith Iran directly in the area, but here we are with Iran onIsrael’s border on the Golan Heights . - Pastor Mike Taylor

PUTIN’S PEACE PLAN FOR SYRIA –NOT GOOD FOR ISRAEL

Russia is setting up “safe zones” in Syria. In what seemsto be a strategic mistake, the US has agreed to cooperatewith the plan. This agreement allows Iranian-backedmilitias to be stationed within 10km of the Golan

Heights’ Israeli borders. Russian, Iranian and Hizbollahforces are now being deployed in the “safe zones.”

LAVROV SCORNS ISRAELI CONCERNSOVER IRANIAN BUILD-UP

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov went on theoffensive to counter Israeli warnings that a ceasefireimposed by Moscow in Syria is enabling Iran and itsterror proxy, Hizbollah, to amass fighters and weaponsnear the Jewish state’s northern border in preparation fora future war.

In spite of his pro-Israel policy, Mr Trump’s pursuitof a 2-state solution between Israel and the Palestiniansmay also be a second strategic mistake. Over the past25 years, whenever the US has applied pressure on Israelto divide God’s covenant land, a major record-settingcatastrophe and/or event has occurred.”

HIZBOLLAH IS NOW THE MOST POWERFULNON-STATE MILITARY ACTOR IN THE WORLD

AUG 8. Hizbollah now has 20,000 active duty troops andanother 25,000 reservists. They are known to have a vastnumber of deep and sophisticated tunnels and bunkercomplexes across southern Lebanon, and are penetratingIsrael under its northern border.

Where does a terrorist group get the weapons and moneyto build such an immense military machine? It primarilycomes from their fellow Shiite Muslims in Iran.

In June, we learned that Hizbollah's military capabilitieshave taken a dramatic turn (increase).

ISIS differentiated itself from other terror groups bytaking territory from existing nations, and attempting tobuild a caliphate on it.

But Hizbollah has done them one better. They arebuilding their own industrial infrastructure capable ofproducing precision weapons, primarily missiles.Israeli Defence Forces Intelligence Chief, Major-GeneralHerzl Halevi, said, "We are seeing Hizbollah building adomestic military industry on Lebanese soil based onIranian know-how. Hizbollah is producing weaponssystems and transporting them to southern Lebanon....Over the past year, Iran is working to establish infrastructurefor the independent production of precisionweapons in Lebanon and Yemen."

HAMAS & IRAN RESTORE RELATIONS

Hamas’s new head, Yahya Sinwar, reportedthat relations between Iran andHamas have been restored, the leaderboasting of the Islamic Republic’smilitary and financial support. Sinwarreplaced Ismail Haniyeh in February ashead of the terrorist organization.

Sinwar stated that Hamas is actively replenishing itsmissile caches and training its fighters to “achieveliberation”. He stated “Every day we build missiles andcontinue military training.”

He confirmed that Islamic Republic supports Hamas withfunds and arms, stating: “The relationship today isdeveloping and returning to what it was in the old days …Relations with Iran are excellent, and Iran is the largestsupporter of the Izz el-Deen al-Qassam Brigades withmoney and arms."

ISIS IN PHILIPPINES

After a full three months of fighting, the Armed Forces of

the Philippines are now in control of all but a halfkilometresquare of Marawi city which is in Mindanao,

the southern island of Philippines. To date, the battle hasclaimed the lives of 573 militants, 128 soldiers and police,and at least 45 civilians. The progress has been slowed andcomplicated by the fact that the militants -- those whopledged allegiance to the self-proclaimed Islamic State --have planted numerous improvised explosive devices andretained civilian captives as human shields.MUCH OF THE WORLD IS ON FIRE

"Look! The day is coming, burning like afurnace; when all the arrogant and everyevildoer will be chaff; for the day that iscoming will set them ablaze, saysYHWH of Hosts, so that it will leavethem neither root nor branch." (Malachi 4:1)

Massive fires are burning in the United States, Canada, and across Europe. So far in the US, 5.6 million acres of land has burned this year.

According to the European Commission's fire map, itlooks like “the end of the world,” especially in Italy andRomania. Wildfires are also plaguing Siberia in Russia.Many of the fires don't seem to be abating. Portugal, andNSW Australia, is having fires at the moment, and withhot weather ahead, more disasters are likely. And there arethreats to many other nations. – www.popsci.com.au/science

THE SPIRITUAL WAR

AGAINST GOD AND HIS WORD IS REVVING UP!

THE PERSECUTION OF CHRISTIANS TODAY ...is believed to be the most severe in this history of thechurch. Every day believers are being harassed, torturedand killed, in Africa, the Middle East, Iran, Pakistan,China and now, in India. And there’s threats andpersecution that have begun in the West. The battle is on!

ATTACKS ON CHRISTIANS IN AUSTRALIAJULY 31, 2017. Andrew Bolt, investigative journalist inThe West Australian, exclaimed: “Christians, preparefor persecution. Open your eyes and choose strongerleaders for the dark days. I am not a Christian, but I amamazed that your bishops and ministers are notwarning you of what is already breaking over yourheads.”

Bolt gives recent instances of anti-Christian attacks, andsays: The Greens are the political wing of this attack onChristianity, and they are demanding churches lose theirlegal freedom to hire only people who live by their faith.”

ATHEIST GROUP CALLS THE BIBLEA “HATE-FILLED BOOK,” AND SAYS GOD ISWORSE THAN “WHITE SUPREMACIST THUGS”

EVANGELICAL LEADERS SIGN“NASHVILLE STATEMENT”

AFFIRMING BIBLICAL VIEW OF SEXUALITY

The sexual revolution has inflicted great damage onWestern culture, producing broken homes, out-of-wedlockbirths, abortion, the redefinition of marriage, and now thepromulgation of transgender theory, indoctrination fromwhich even children in kindergarten are not exempt.

To combat this seemingly unstoppable movement, agroup of high-profile evangelical leaders, from John Piperto Francis Chan to Tony Perkins, signed what is nowknown as “The Nashville Statement,” affirming the Biblicalnotion of sexuality, marriage, family, and gender.—www.foxnews.com/..

In Australia a battle is heating up as a plebiscite by postalvote is under way, to gauge public opinion as to whetherthe traditional definition of marriage should be changed toallow for same-gender (male-male or female-female)marriage. The Bible clearly teaches that marriage asinstituted by God — the Creator and Ruler of theUniverse, is between one man and one woman.

A great danger, if a “yes” vote become legislation, is thatit will lead to intolerance and persecution against anyonewho does not go along with the latest sexual laws. And asthe majority in society and government evidently do notbelieve or respect God’s Word, we won’t have long towait until we hear from the Living God.

“YHWH said, 'My Spirit will not strivewith man for ever.” (Genesis 6:3)

THE HATRED TOWARDS CHRISTIANITYBy Hal Lindsey, USA

SEPT 2. In the last few weeks we have seen a ratchetingup of the hatred toward anything Christian, moral, orconservative in our nation. The stunning rise of"Identity Politics" in just the last few years has put theUnited States on a dangerous course toward a secondcivil war. And I do not say that flippantly.

When the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) recentlydesignated D. James Kennedy Ministries as a "hategroup" (essentially because the late Dr. Kennedypreached in favour of, and promoted the sanctity ofBiblical, traditional marriage), it became obvious to methat the Leftists are going for the jugular (the kill). Itmakes no difference that the SPLC is one of the mostcorrupt, politicized Leftist organizations in America, their"hate lists" are revered by groups like Amazon, CNN,

MSNBC, Google, PayPal, the mainstream media andmany others (including recent Administrations).

So when the influential SPLC attacks longstanding,honourable, and Godly ministries for simply preachingthe Bible, you can know that the societal persecution hasbegun. Just as Jesus warned we would see in the days justbefore His return.

But you and I, believer, have been entrusted by God to beHis representatives on this earth at this most critical, andexciting, time in prophetic history. So let’s not forfeit ouropportunity to bring glory to God in the closing days ofthis Age of Grace.

Some of you know that I have long warned thatpersecution and prosecution is coming. Now that it's here,we believers need to be ready to stand strong against therushing tides of public opinion and public ridicule. Weneed to be ready, and to be courageous in naming thename of Jesus despite the consequences.

So we need to learn more thoroughly about the wholearmour of God, and how to use the spiritual weapons thatHe has made available for us.

“For though we walk in the flesh as human beings, wedo not wage war according to the flesh by using carnaland physical weapons; for the weapons of our warfareare not carnal and physical, but mighty in God foroverthrowing strongholds, for refuting arguments andcasting down every proud and lofty thing raised upagainst the knowledge of God, and for capturingevery thought, and bringing it into obedience to theMessiah.” (2 Corinthians 10:3-5)

“My brethren, be strong in theMaster, and in the strength of Hispower. Put on the whole armour ofGod, so that you may be able tostand firm against the schemesand strategies of the devil.

“For our struggle is not against fleshand blood, but against the principalities,against authorities, againstthe world-rulers of the darknessof this age, against the spiritual forces of evil

in the heavenly places.

“Therefore take up the full armour of God, that youmay be able to resist in the evil day, and having doneeverything, to stand firm.

“Stand then, having fastened the Belt of Trutharound your waist, and having put on the Breastplateof Righteousness, and having put shoes onyour feet in preparation and readiness to proclaim theGood News of Peace; above all, having taken up theShield of Faith with which you will be able toextinguish all the flaming missiles of the evil one.“Take also the Helmet of Salvation, and the Swordof the Spirit, which is the Word of God, praying inthe Spirit at all times, with every prayer andsupplication. To this end, keep alert and watch withall perseverance, interceding for all the set-apartpeople of God.” (Ephesians 6:10-18) AMEN!
