THESE PRIORITIES WILL BE SEEN IN THIS STUDY OF WHAT GOD WILL DO IN THE MIDDLE EAST. *

1 STUDY 5; OF THE SERIES "WHAT ~ WHO ~ WHERE ~ WHEN AND HOW" OF THE LAST DAYS. THE M.E. AND THE EXCITING SPREAD OF THE GOSPEL WORLDWIDE. How GOD will fulfil His THREE PRIORITIES in the Future. ANOTHER EXPLANATION. We hope you will not be too disappointed or confused to discover ~ that we have some * different beliefs from many other people. We use bold, purple, italic print, to respect God's Words. > Each point covers big, IMPORTANT issues, but we believe they are close to God's Priorities, * or Goals. > Please check them yourself, taken from Scripture references, and pray for God to show you, His Truth. Let us remind ourselves of what GOD'S PRIORITIES are: * 1. GOD longs for Salvation through Jesus' death and resurrection for as MANY people as possible. 2 Peter GOD longs for the JEWISH NATION of ISRAEL, and all Jewish people to know Him, and Jesus as Savior by repentance and faith, and as their Messiah, before they see Jesus at His Coming. Think about Matt: 23: GOD longs for the time when Jesus/ Yeshua can return and reign over the Earth in Justice and love, with all the Believing Saints [also called 'the Elect'] together ~ in Resurrection bodies, here. See Matt. 24: 45-47! THESE PRIORITIES WILL BE SEEN IN THIS STUDY OF WHAT GOD WILL DO IN THE MIDDLE EAST. * 1. OUR GOALS AND GREAT LONGINGS FOR THE FUTURE, AS BELIEVERS IN JESUS, ARE: > The 'Second Coming' of Jesus to THIS Earth, and true Believers ALL Resurrected to meet Him one Day! So there is a lovely study you could make, about the Resurrection. ~ Only ONE glorious event - for Believers only ~ on THE DAY that Jesus Returns, after meeting us in the sky in our resurrected bodies. [1 Corinthians 15] See that DAY will be at the end of the 'Church Age', [from when Jesus went back to Heaven, until now.] Also it will mean an END to mankind's evil rulership of the world ~ especially the Anti-christ... A great Day! Know that Special events happening to * Jewish Israel will be a big part of the time leading up to Jesus' Return Reading: Ezekiel 36: [Do you see the greatest Spiritual blessings there, as well as the practical? SO, EVENTS IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND ISRAEL WILL BE A BIG PART OF THE 'LAST DAYS'. In case you think it is strange for us to be talking so much about Jewish Israel, it was an agony in prayer that Paul had with God about Israel. He wondered if God was finished with the Jewish Nation? Answer: 'no way!' * Question: Does God think more of Jewish People than of Gentile Christians? * The answer for Paul was in Romans 11: "I ask then. Did God reject His people Israel? By no means!" * Then God explained that because the Jews rejected Jesus, God was leaving them on one side, for a time only ~ as His Plan was that non-jews, called 'Gentiles' would know the Gospel, and take it all over the world. * But this was only "UNTIL" [Rom. 11: 25] God was ready to turn back to bless and use Israel. Isaiah 19: 20-25! * As we said, we believe the Bible was written first for Jews, by Jews, and that modern Israel is a miracle of * prophecy fulfilled, only 60+ years ago! Surely God has restored them physically for a REASON! The Miracles are seen in: a) A LEGAL Nation recognised as 'THE JEWISH STATE OF ISRAEL', after 1900 and 48 years! b) Jewish people LIVING in their own LAND, and making it beautiful, and prosperous. c) The LANGUAGE has been revived from the ancient Hebrew Language into Modern Hebrew! d) LEADING events for Israel will lead to other future significant events for the entire world. WE NEED TO BE AWARE OF ISRAEL ~ FOR LOVE OF OUR JEWISH MESSIAH ~ JESUS. 3. MOST OF ALL, GOD'S LONGING FOR ISRAEL IS ~ TO BE HIS HOLY PEOPLE! * >This is called "LIFE from the Dead" by Paul in Romans 11 ~ when they accept Jesus/ Yeshua as Saviour by repentance and trust ~ NOT by seeing Yeshua when He comes! TRUST is Faith - even though not seeing Him! >That means they will become Believers in Jesus as Savior ~ BEFORE JESUS COMES BACK. Reading: Living Bible please: Romans 11: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ THE NEXT THREE SPECIAL EVENTS THAT WE BELIEVE GOD WILL ALLOW! [A1 & 2, B & C] A 1. THE FIRST OF TWO WARS WILL HAPPEN FOR 'JEWISH ISRAEL' BEFORE THE TRIBULATION. > We in this Ministry believe a M.E. war happens in the near future between Israel and maybe Iran. > The result will give Israel a time of feeling 'secure' which they do NOT feel at present, [ ]. > GOD, (we believe) drew our attention to 8 verses in Isaiah 41: 8-16, like a letter to Israel 'today'. > We'd like you to take time to read it now, please. Notice God speaks to the ENTIRE Nation. Reading: Isaiah 41: [Please emphasise "I have, I took, I said..." etc] God writes a letter to Israel!

2 > Did you notice the Loving way God appeals to Israel? "O Israel, My servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, you descendants of Abraham My Friend... Do not be afraid, O worm Jacob, O little Israel". > From 213, Israel is down-sizing and reshaping the Israeli Defence Force to use Computer skills more so we wonder if that is what God means in v 15: "See I WILL make you into a threshing instrument, new and sharp..." > However even the victory as described by Isaiah, doesn't result in ISRAEL turning to God ~ yet! > A clearer description about the war God allows to happen in Iran [once called Persia or 'Elam'] is given by Jeremiah in ch 49: 37 "I will shatter Iran before their foes... bring disaster... pursue them with the sword.." > Notice GOD is speaking a two-part prophecy through the Prophet some 2,600 years ago! Reading: The first part -Jeremiah 49: This did happen after 1949 when the Shah of Persia died, and a strong Islamic Leader [the first Khomenei] took over Iran introducing strict Islamic Law... Thousands of Iranian's left for other nations, just as it says. We may see the second part of Jeremiah's prophecy fulfilled soon. Now, please read: Verses QUESTION: These statements seem to contradict each other a bit ~ how can they be explained? These are very exciting words... a) Iran will lose its [present] Islamic Leaders and power - for a period of time. b) Later on, God will give new Leaders ~ in a M.E. Revival ~ as they enthrone Jesus in their hearts! c) Also it seems God will send a revival of true Christianity to Egypt, and even other nations like Iraq, because of a prophecy in Isaiah 19: about Egypt, and Assyria, which included Syria and Iraq. d) But Islam will still have a grip on Turkey, Syria, Muslim nations in North Africa, and individuals in Iran, who will make another major effort later to eliminate Israel, with the 'Magog Army' - as in Ezekiel 38 & 39. e) These events will change the situation for some Nations of the Middle East, as the rest of the world tetters on the brink of great economic distress and continuing disasters. Yet Islam will totally lose its power.

3 A 2. SO AS A RESULT OF IRAN BEING WEAKEND ~(in the next war), ISRAEL GETS A TIME OF 'SECURITY' ~ BUT AT THE HIGH PRICE OF BEING ISOLATED ALONE ~ AS A NATION... > Victory over Iran's Leaders, will have a serious effect on Jewish Israel as neighbouring nations will gain a new fear of Israel, and isolate them, so fulfilling prophecies of Israel ~ "being a Nation alone." (That is: finally GOD is allowing that situation ~ of NOT depending on other nations, who do not want to help them anyway!) > GOD WANTS Israel to be 'alone' ~ while they have no TRUST in God! One day they will know they need HIM! > Sadly, even though this gives them a time of false security ~ even prosperity ~ (as described in early verses of Ezekiel 38). ~ Yet, still it will NOT be a time when they (as a nation) will turn to GOD. ~ > This will come later, after the second huge threat of war... as written in Ezekiel 39: 26. God prophesies that at that time: "They will forget their shame and all the unfaithfulness they showed Me when... ['when?] "When they lived in SAFETY - in their own Land, with no one to make afraid! > So even giving them a time of peace and security will not cause Israel to turn to God as Saviour or accept Yeshua! It is as if God is trying every way He can to get their attention! B. ISRAEL WILL BE THE ONLY NATION THAT HAS THIS TIME OF FALSE PEACE ~ THE REST OF THE WORLD DOES NOT HAVE PEACE - BUT SUFFER WARS, FAMINE AND PLAGUE! Daniel wrote: "War will continue until the End and desolations have been decreed." Chapter 9:26-b. 'THE ARAB SPRING' around 2011, COULD BE WHEN 'THE 4TH SEAL' (of Revelation 6) STARTED TO HAPPEN OVER THE WHOLE WORLD? Reading: Revelation 6: 7 & 8. > This is a VERY serious time as 1/4th of the population of the world dies... from war, famine, plague. > As we've said, we do not know the exact timing of the 'Breaking of each of the Seals', on the Heavenly Scroll of 'Last Days' events, but it is certain this 4th Seal event has not fully happened yet. > Yet God knew what would develop over these years (before Jesus' Return) due to increasing sin... > We need to take warnings from Revelation ch 6... as very many people - even our friends will die! QUESTION: The Bible says the 3rd cause of death is "wild beasts of the Earth," so why do you suggest 'Plague'? Answer: I'm quite sure there will be some deaths from lions, tigers, crocodiles, even elephants. But if you or Ezekiel saw some insects, or viruses, under a microscope, we might say they look like wild creatures! [Check out a Search web site.] Sadly with very high death-rates maybe many dead are not even buried, spreading disease. Also plagues are often the RESULT of both war and famine. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

4 C. MORE ABOUT THE SECOND FUTURE WAR AGAINST ISRAEL. This is because: Some Muslim Nations still believe Satan's Lies - that Allah is Angry - because Islam has still not conquered Israel and has not yet taken over the whole World, as their Prophets say must happen. BUT GOD has written His own plans for the Middle East in Ezekiel 36 to 39! So it is important for you to consider them carefully. ~ THEREFORE IN A FEW YEARS- ISRAEL WILL BE THREATENED WITH WAR, AGAIN! ~ > The Ezekiel 38 & 39 event will be a very special time for ISRAEL - The only Future WAR described in detail in Scripture. God showed it clearly to Ezekiel 2,400 years ago and it has never been fulfilled. [Please read it now?] > Ezekiel explains how a Leader called 'GOG' (probably from Russia) will plan with Muslims mainly, to attack JEWS in Israel. This war is NOT 'Armageddon' (only named nations involved) nor is it the same as Revelation 20: 8. [These details can only be summarised here, so you may need to look at other parts of this web site for more details.] > THIS is when a very big Army from most Muslim Nations will launch a HUGE THREAT against Israel. Eze. 38. > The Army is called 'MAGOG', and will probably be supported financially by most of the 57 Islamic Nations, [but NOT Saudi Arabia, and the Gulf Nations = called 'Dedan' - and including Yemen = called 'Sheba' - in vs13.] > The Army's GOAL will be to kill all the Jews in Israel, probably with Chemicals, ** so the Muslims can take the LAND over, for themselves, rather than destroying it with other modern weapons. > Muslims believe Allah is insulted by Jews living in a Land Muslims thought for 400years - that they 'owned'! QUESTION: Why do you believe they will plan to use Chemical weapons? ** ANSWER: **This has only been seen as a possibility in recent years, because all previous modern wars, using explosives - always destroyed people and buildings and the infrastructure of a Nation. **Then the fear and focus of Chemical weapons use surfaced in the M.E. when Saddam Hussein used it in Iraq. ** But now it is obvious, that if an army is determined to eliminate people (in this case the Jews) but "Plunder silver and gold, to take away... goods and to seize much wealth" - using explosives is not a good idea! [Of course Ezekiel did not know all the details exactly ~ but faithfully gave the facts!] THE REASON GOD MAKES IT CLEAR HE IS TOTALLY BEHIND THIS GREAT THREAT, IS ~ That God has THREE CLEAR MOTIVES in HIS HOLY MIND for this 'war'. [We believe GOD has shown us that this scenario is a very, very important event, ahead.] For ISLAM ~ to lose it's power, and make the truth about it clear to millions of Muslims around the world. For JEWISH ISRAEL ~ God is longing for them to be saved, spiritually and literally from any danger. Finally the GOSPEL ~ SPREAD to the ENTIRE World, through Jews and ex-muslims who believe in JESUS! A. GOD WILL DEAL WITH THE WORLD POWER OF ISLAM, FACT: GOD WILL DEAL WITH THE IMMENSE POWER OF ISLAM - One of the most evil Religions of the world! [Please note, it is NOT all the nations of the world in the Army, and some Muslim nations even question it.] THE REASON FOR THEIR PLAN: Because Muslims really do think that everyone in the world believes: THAT ~ ALLAH ~ IS THE GREATEST ~ AND GREATER THAN ISRAEL'S GOD ~ ADONAI, so they want to PROVE IT. THE OPPORTUNITY: Israel's God has prospered Israel with great riches and will give them a false 'PEACE'. THE MEANS: This 'Magog Army' and many rich Islamic Nations and some other Nations, Will pay to advertise in every Media Possible, Radio, T.V. [esp Arab backed Organisations] and Internet; Their Plan and intentions: To the entire World and every Nation, and country... That by killing all the Jews in Israel, (for a start); and taking over the entire Land of Israel for Allah... The Muslims will prove that the Magog Army - representing all Muslims - will show Allah is Great. Therefore ~ this event will show 'once and forever'... [according to their beliefs...] 'ALLAH IS THE GREATEST, AND MOHOMMED IS HIS PROPHET'. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ B. HOWEVER ~ THE JEWISH TANAKH /BIBLE SHOWS through the prophet Ezekiel A VERY DIFFERENT PLAN! 1. This Second, possibly short, but fierce War will show that ALLAH is not God. 2. Also that no Earthly nation - was able - or needed, to try to fight this seemingly impossibly powerful Army That because only God is in control of nature, He sends a most fearful Earthquake onto the whole world. SHOWING THAT ADONAI ALONE, THE GOD OF ISRAEL, IS ABLE TO WIPE OUT THE ENTIRE ARMY, ~ YET PRESERVE HIS OWN CHOSEN JEWISH PEOPLE ENTIRELY. Then all mankind will know that I the LORD ~ am your Savior and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob! [A precious statement from Isaiah the prophet, the second half of a verse in chapter 49, verse 26.]

5 SO ~ WE KNOW THAT GOD WILL SHOW, HE ALONE, IS THE ONLY GREAT GOD! > The whole world will be watching on T.V., Internet, etc to see how powerful Islam really is. Ezekiel 39: > THIS is how we know these events are for the 21st Century, when modern communications are literally worldwide. So Ezekiel was right when he said words like these 47 times in his book: Reading: Ezekiel 38: 23. "I will display My Glory among the Nations, and all the Nations will see... (and) From that day forward ISRAEL will know, That I AM the LORD ~ ADONAI ~ their God!" [Have you ever longed for God to show the whole world, how great He is? Even when I was a girl I prayed for that.] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ YET THIS IS A SPECIAL 'KNOWLEDGE' FOR A WONDERFUL REASON! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1. THE FIRST GOAL GOD ACHIEVES IS VICTORY OVER THE POWER OF ISLAM! 1. GOD breaks the POWER of Islam, forever. Even Muslim 'powers', like banks and governments, that will not be present in the HUGE Magog Army, will lose very heavily from the total destruction of their investments - financially. [The Army is so big it is called "a Horde" in Ezekiel 38.] 2. This does not mean God eliminates all Muslim People ~ but the loss of the best of their skilled soldiers, strategists and equipment will have a disastrous effect on millions of families, cities, businesses, and Islamic governments. 3. The embarrassment of such a public denial of all the Islamic claims about 'Allah' will have a great impact on all Muslim people everywhere. NOW they will know there is a NEW HOPE and meaning to life for them! 4. Therefore ~ GOD will turn this ~ into GREAT BLESSSINGS ~ for Israel and the world as we'll see... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2. SECOND GOAL THAT GOD WINS ~ IS THAT FINALLY ALL JEWISH PEOPLE TURN TO HIM! 1. Remember God's 2nd Priority (in our list) but HIGH ON HIS HEART for His Own People? Isaiah 44: 21-23! 2. They will not turn to ADONAI - the 'God of Israel' - AS A NATION during the time of 'false Peace.' Eze, 39: So just as God has done with many of us, He finally, uses hard methods for hard hearts - and through wrestling (spiritually and mentally) with the 'Man of Truth', as their father Jacob did, they will come to see who Yeshua really is, and that He is the only way to YAWEH - ELOHAYNU - it is through their own Jewish Savior. BUT FIRST ~ TO GO BACK A LITTLE ~WHEN ISRAEL SUDDENLY UNDERSTANDS ABOUT THE MAGOG ARMY... BEING ON THEIR BORDER - FULLY ARMED TO ATTACK THEM - EVERY JEW IN ISRAEL, AND AROUND THE WORLD WILL THINK THEY WILL BE ANNIHILATED! Question: IS there anything that true Christians can do? See Jeremiah's description (30: 7) of how Jews will feel! YES! ~ This is our opportunity, (and maybe the reason why you are reading this Study...) Very Humbly and lovingly we can go first to any Jewish person we know and just sympathise with them. But then very carefully we can share that we know their Messiah - Yeshua and He has promised to save them, if they would only turn to Him and ask Him. Learn NOW the Scriptures you could use - just Isaiah 53, and Zechariah 12: 9 - ch 13: 1. [Use O.T. Scriptures, first.] Go slowly to answer their questions and fears... They might need up to 10 days to understand about Yeshua, BEING THE ONLY WAY TO KNOW GOD. THEN in desperation they will 'wrestle' with HIM and even confess their sin and plead for HIM to save and bless them! Special words were written by their Prophets, but now they will be even MORE true than ever! Read: Lamentations: 3: LET'S RECAP ~ TO BACKGROUND FACTS: WHEN ISRAEL SEES THE 'MAGOG ARMY' ON THEIR BORDER We believe this 'surprise' appearance of the Magog Army could be at Israel's religious New Year, one year? 2. This will be at the start of the Sacred Year, with the "Feast of Trumpets" ~ meant to be ~ a solemn time of reflection of the past year, especially spiritually, so it leads to "10 Days of Awe" - in Prayer. 3. However at this N.Y. things will be chaotic in Israel when everyone realises the immanent threat. 4. Very quickly, all people who do not 'love Israel' - like Muslims, and Cult members will leave, in the millions. 5. Israel will feel totally helpless, as it is too dangerous to bomb an Army with chemical weapons. 6. The fear and agonising frustration - especially of the men who have been in the I.D.F [Israel's Army] is described in Jeremiah 30 in the first half of the 7th verse: "how awful that Day will be! None will be like it..." Read please Jeremiah 30: 1 - to verse 7a. [Stop at 'Jacob'.]

6 Question: Would this 'TIME OF JACOB'S TROUBLE' mean the time of 'World Tribulation'? [Short answer - NO.] ANSWER. This Scripture is misunderstood by most Bible teachers, who think "the Time of Trouble' is the same as the world Tribulation. But we say 'no' it is a much shorter time! Note it is called "Jacob's Trouble". > We can understand it well by remembering the original Jacob, (Told about in Genesis 32). > He had one night (only), which WAS a time of huge fear and 'trouble' for Jacob just before he returned home. > He was terrified of meeting his brother Esau who had threatened to kill him years before. > But a 'Divine Man' came to him and wrestled with Jacob all night. [It was Jesus/ Yeshua.] > Finally Jacob realised this 'Man' represented GOD, so he pleaded for a blessing from Him. The blessing was in confirming the NAME and meaning of a new word, no one had ever heard before: 'ISRA-EL'. A new Name for a new Nation! So the 'Time of Jacob's Trouble/ will be when Jewish Israel - as a Nation - wrestles with accepting that Yeshua/ Jesus is their Savior and Messiah by repentance and faith! Please re-read the whole of Jeremiah 30, verse 7. & 8. SO GOD's SECOND PRIORITY OF ISRAEL'S FULL SALVATION WILL BE FULFILLED! [This might be on the 'Day of Atonement' called 'Yom Kippur' - One future Day in a Year of National mourning and memory of sacrifice.] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 3. NEXT: GOD'S THIRD GOAL WILL BE ACHIEVED! THE TRUE GOD and GOSPEL WILL BE KNOWN! QUICKLY - 'GOG' AND ALLAH'S 'MAGOG ARMY' ARE TOTALLY DESTROYED BY GOD! > Even though it will be impossible for Israel to fight in any way, God will destroy the Army! > He will do it through an 'Earthquake' but with huge serious events in Space described this way by Ezekiel: Reading: Ezekiel 38: > The Army is destroyed due to the first world-wide Earthquake described in Ezekiel 38, also Rev. 6: THE RESULT WILL BE THAT EVERYONE IN THE WHOLE WORLD WILL KNOW WHO GOD AND JESUS REALLY ARE! > The whole world will see that GOD Himself destroys the Magog Army with a Huge Earthquake, (and events in the sun, moon and stars) but that they do not hurt Israel at all! > SO - Islam's power will be broken when the entire Army is destroyed, but Israel is saved! > Everyone will know for sure - 'Allah' is not a god at all, and could not protect the Magog Army. > Later on - maybe soon - the 'TRIBULATION TIME' will be a test to EVERYONE in the world. > So not one person living before that time - will be able to say that 'they had no idea Who the true God is'. > Over and over in the book of Ezekiel, GOD explains exactly what is happening in Israel. > Here is just one more verse from ch 38: Reading: God is speaking, "And I WILL show My greatness and MY Holiness, and I will make MYSELF KNOWN in the sight of MANY nations. THEN THEY WILL KNOW I AM THE LORD, ADONAI." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ NOW, CAN YOU SEE HOW VERY QUICKLY THE GOOD NEWS OF JESUS AND ETERNAL LIFE, WILL BE SREAD OVER THE ENTIRE WORLD! QUESTION: WHAT WILL BE A GOOD RESULT OF THE MAGOG WAR? Answer. There will be two wonderful results! The FIRST ~ that it seems from Zechariah 12: 9 - ch 13: 1, and Ezekiel 39: 29 that the entire Nation of Israel will be Spiritually and literally SAVED as Paul wrote in Romans 11: 26! "And so ALL Israel will be saved." Let us hear those verses read for us, again, please. Reading; Ezekiel 39: 29, & Zechariah ch. 12: 9 - ch 13: 1... The SECOND ~ result of the Magog War will be, many GENTILES ~ esp MUSLIMS will be saved as the entire world will know The God of Israel is the ONE Sovereign LORD, and Yeshua/ Jesus/ Isa/ Yasuo/ El Massih ~ IS GOD'S ONLY SON and Savior! SO "this Gospel will be preached" [by true Christians and new Jewish Believers] "in the whole world... and then the end will come". The Jewish Nation is always quick to help after an Earthquake. So Joel 2: 27-29, Isaiah 19:23-25 & Romans 11: 12, 15 & 26, could happen during the chaos after the great Earthquake - in a brief window of opportunity - maybe over a few months. Ex-Muslim's [now Believers in Jesus], will tell Muslims everywhere, among the 57 Islamic nations, and others. [We explain more next session, but we trust you will use your imagination for the real things that will happen.]

7 The THIRD RESULT HAS 2 PARTS to it. ONE is that the power of Islam will be broken so severely it will NEVER have any more influence in the world, though some people will cling to some form of it. BUT! The OTHER 'side' is that the way will be cleared for the ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT to take over. So our next study will try to bring all the aspects of Scripture together about these events. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It is very hard to fit in all the details we would like to share, so we leave this study, for you to discuss and pray about. We realise you will have questions, THAT could be answered in the next section. So please be patient and think over the rest of these explanations, pray and rejoice in what you read. Read about the terrible events that are described ~ and what are the BLESSINGS God brings out in them all. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ THE NEXT STUDY IS ABOUT: 'THE BRIDE OF THE MESSIAH' AND MORE EVENTS IN THE WORLD THAT WILL BRING JESUS' RETURN SOONER! Please be sure to understand that. AN EXTRA QUESTION: Do you believe God gives Prophetic insights to Christians today? Giving the Sequence of Last Days Events? ANSWER: Perhaps like you, I get Prophecies sent to me about what 'GOD is saying to His Christian People', about the Future... > Yes, there is great concern, about increasing evil, everywhere, which is one of the Last Day signs... > Yes, there is real fear of the growth of the power of Islam, in Europe, America and Africa, especially. > Sadly ~ there is a great sense of helplessness and frustration over what has happened in M.E. nations, making things worse - with large numbers of people killed in Wars in Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, Egypt and Sudan, > But I have not read ONE modern prophecy where there is a deep concern for the Spread of the GOSPEL! > Yet Jesus made it clear the Spread of His GOSPEL would be a KEY event in bringing ~ 'the End'! > So, I'm sure there is truth in some Prophecies, yet the other thing I've noticed is there are very few, (if any) actually quote SCRIPTURES. [We wish we could include far more Scriptures in this Paper!] So could I suggest you evaluate what is said or written in the light of these two criteria.... These are long Studies for a reason, which is to bring out some thoughts that are missed by other Teachers. Yet we hope and pray (often) that 2 or more people will study these together, or if that is not possible you will go carefully over the separate points we make on purpose for you to think about them! We long so much that more Believers will be prepared themselves ~ and then help others in hard times. Our prayer is that GOD WILL BLESS YOU! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ REPEATED IMPORTANT FACTS, Many Christian Believers have recognised that God still has a special place in His heart ~ to use His own Jewish People as a Nation to bless the world and glorify Him. However, sadly there are also many people, (even Christians) who find it very hard to believe that GOD could have kept an ethnic group of true Jews, since New Testament times! Many explanations of why today's Jews are not true Jews are given, often based on the wrong belief of their loss of family lineage either at the time of the First exile of thousands of Jews, first from the Northern kingdom of 10 tribes, then from the Southern Kingdom of Judah, later on. This teaching does NOT match with clear explanations in the Bible, like 1st and 2nd Chronicles, Ezra and Nehemiah, and others. Or people point to the great Diaspora that took place from AD 66 CE to 135 AD, and has lasted until the present time. We believe today's Jews are as prof of God's amazing power and love, to keep His Word. Part of this was due to the fierce devotion to the Word of God in Hebrew, which the Orthodox branches of Judaism preserved with exceeding great care. Also the celebrations of Jewish Festivals, especially Pasach/ Passover. Yet possibly the greatest thing that held families together was 1) often being isolated in Ghettos, and 2) their keeping of the Friday night 'Erev Shabbat' family meal in every home on the evening before Saturday.

8 FIFTH STUDY OF THE SERIES: ~ The Blessed Hope of Jesus Return to Earth ~ And our Part in it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ THE MIDDLE EAST AND THE SPREAD OF THE GOSPEL WORLD WIDE! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Continuing study notes in the series offered by Suzanna of the 'Gethsemane Olivet Fellowship' of N. Z. Sponsored by Dr and Mrs Maddimadigula of the "Shekinah Trust" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ These studies maybe copied for use, without any changes please 2013 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "May the entrance of God's Light", give the Readers of these studies, the light of peace-giving understanding, balanced by the God-given warnings by His Prophets, in the Word of God, the full Bible. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We greatly appreciate your interest in this Study series, as we outline our understanding of the Word of God regarding the 'Last Days' and the glorious Return to this Earth, of our LORD Jesus! God did not arrange for men of God to write these events for God Himself [except to show His great love and justice and knowledge of the Future ~ HE IS IN CHARGE OF!] These prophecies were written for us! However they do need careful studying and with prayer. We only offer them for your own evaluation. Please try to sit at a table, with a pad of paper and write your own notes, praying that GOD will prepare you for what He shows you. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ AN EXTRA PAGE OF SOME SCRIPTURES REFERRED TO IN THIS 5th STUDY. God's First Priority. 2 Peter 3:9 (NIV) 9) The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. God's Second Priority: Matthew 23: SALVATION TO COME TO EVERY JEWISH PERSON ALIVE. 37) Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were not willing. 38) Look, your house is left to you desolate. 39) For I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord'. God's Third Priority. Revelation 22: FOR YESHUA/ JESUS TO RETURN TO REIGN ON EARTH. 7) Look, I am coming soon! Blessed is the one who keeps the words of the prophecy written in this scroll. 8) I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. And when I had heard and seen them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who had been showing them to me. 9) But he said to me, Don t do that! I am a fellow servant with you and with your fellow prophets and with all who keep the words of this scroll. ~ Worship God! 10) Then he told me, Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this scroll, because the time is near. 11 Let the one who does wrong continue to do wrong; let the vile person continue to be vile; let the one who does right continue to do right; and let the holy person continue to be holy. 12) Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done. 13) 'I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.' 14) Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city.

9 16) I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you[a] this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star. 17) The Spirit and the bride say, Come! And let the one who hears say, Come! Let the one who is thirsty come; and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life. 20) He who testifies to these things says, 'Yes, I am coming soon.' Amen. Come, Lord Jesus. 21) The grace of the Lord Jesus be with God s people. Amen." Ezekiel 36:23-28 HOW and WHY God will save Israel and USE THEM! 23 I will show the holiness of my great name, which has been profaned among the nations, the name you have profaned among them. Then the nations will know that I am the Lord, declares the Sovereign Lord, when I am proved holy through you before their eyes. 24 For I will take you out of the nations; I will gather you from all the countries and bring you back into your own land. 25 I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your impurities and from all your idols. 26 I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. 27 And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws. 28 Then you will live in the land I gave your ancestors; you will be my people, and I will be your God.... Romans 11: 11-15, JEWS a BLESSING on the world as BELIEVERS! 11) Again I ask: Did they stumble so as to fall beyond recovery? Not at all! Rather, because of their transgression, salvation has come to the Gentiles to make Israel envious. - 12) -But if their transgression means riches for the world, and their loss means riches for the Gentiles, how much greater riches will their full inclusion bring! 13) I am talking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch as I am the apostle to the Gentiles, I take pride in my ministry, 14) In the hope that I may somehow arouse my own people to envy and save some of them. 15) For if their rejection brought reconciliation to the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?... Isaiah 19: ISRAEL, EGYPT, Syria, Iraq and Lebanon, BLESSING TO THE ENTIRE WORLD! 23) In that day there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria. The Assyrians will go to Egypt and the Egyptians to Assyria. The Egyptians and Assyrians will worship together. 24) In that day Israel will be the third, along with Egypt and Assyria, a blessing on the Earth. 25) The Lord Almighty will bless them, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people, Assyria my handiwork, and Israel my inheritance. Ancient Assyria's Borders changed several times, but we like to believe for the widest possible area. Note ISRAEL is specifically asked by Egypt to help with their troubles and this will happen soon, we believe. It seems part of God's will for us is to use the Word with sanctified imagination AND see the Events that are developing! The ISLAMIC CALIPHATE is in this area now 2014/ 15, But GOD'S blessings will reach even here!... This has been a long study but revealing we trust, as these messages from God's Word are not often given. PLEASE MAKE TIME TO READ AND STUDY THE NEXT STUDY - 6.
