1 Key West Church of God RAYMOND L. SHOCKLEY, Pastor 1419 White Street Key West, Florida USA Website - Mobile fax January 5, 2017 Dear Friends, As I type, the year 2016 is slipping away from us. By the time you receive this newsletter we will have moved into the year of The question looms before all of our minds, What Will 2017 Bring us? The past year has seemed like such a long year. It just that seemed like it would never get over. We had been caught in a life and death struggle between Globalists, who work with every means possible to undermine the nations of the earth, and those who want to Make America Great Again. The Global Leftists were hoping to create so much chaos that the world would simply collapse into their all-knowing arms in a desperate hope of restoring order. Understand what the Global-Left desires, they want a one world government, one that controls every nation on earth. Freedom would vanish. A group of elites in a far distant Global capital would control every aspect of every person s life on earth. Waiting in the wings of this Global government will be a man refereed to in the Bible as the Antichrist, the Beast and Man of Sin. In his kingdom the day will come when all will be required to sell their souls in exchange for the Mark of the Beast ( 2 Th 2:3-4, 1 Jo 2:19 and Rev 13:15-18). Global government is never good for its citizens. It was tried once before and God knowing its evil broke it up in favor of the nation state. Gen 11:1-8 KJV And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.... And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth... And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. The Globalist are in rebellion against God. They are using every effort to restore the one world government. They can count on God to constantly frustrate their plans. The election of Donald Trump as the 45 th President of the Untied States of America has been a great frustration to the Left. While a battle has been won, the war goes on! Friedrich Nietzsche s quotation [ ]"Out of chaos comes order," has become the operating principle of Globalism political left. During the last eight years the Globalist has had control of America through the Obama Administration. They have been in the business of undermining nation states in North Africa, the Middle east and Europe, while undermining from within the American nation. Everything about the American experience has been under a relentless attack. Some of the attacks have come from the President Obama s executive orders pen. America s laws meant to protect the citizens of America have been ignored or simply not enforced. The American Judo-Christian culture has been under a relentless attack. 1

2 The mainstream media has been serving as a propaganda tool of the Globalist. They did all that was possible to keep America s government in the hands of the Globalist Left by supporting Hilary Clinton and undermining Donald Trump for the 2016 election. One day during the election campaign, as I was listening to my car radio, I heard a reporter make this statement, If Donald Trump wins this election, it will take an act of God! In response to that, I said, God did you hear that! It seems that he must have heard that. Against all odds Donald Trump will become America 45 th President of the United States of America on January 20, 2017, thus, ripping the American Eagle out of the hands of the Globalist Left. A battle was won but the war is not over! So what will 2017 bring us? As 2016 is passing, we are witnessing Operation Chaos! That operation is only just begun, it will kick into high gear in The lame duck President Obama is trying to create as much chaos as he can on his way out. Every effort is being made to hinder the new Trump presidency. The Left is trying everything possible to delegitimize the Trump win. That is what the Russian hacking episode is all about. Buy asserting that the Russians where busy helping get Mr. Trump a win, they hope to convince Americans that Donald Trump did not win fairly, and Hilary Clinton should be the rightful President. It is all just a lie designed to create chaos for the new administration. By attacking Russia it is hoped that it will hinder President Trump from establishing the foreign policy that favors American interests instead of Globalism. Mr. Obama s treatment of Vladimir Putin is like constantly sticking a finger in the eye. When you do that, sooner or later you get a response. It may not be a response that you wanted. There are no coincidences when it comes to Israel. The following passage is direct to the ruler of Russia. If we are living in the time when the world will experience the fulfillment of this prophecy then this is a personal note from God to Vladimir Putin. (I am going to bracket the modern equivalent of the names found in the following verse.) Eze 38:3-8 KJV And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog (Vladimir Putin), the chief prince (Rosh) of Meshech (Moscow) and Tubal: And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth,... Persia (Iran), Ethiopia, and Libya with them;.... Gomer (Germany), and all his bands; the house of Togarmah (Turkey) of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee.... After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword (Israel), and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them. Barark Obama and the Globalist in their efforts to build a one world government have been undermining governments, overthrowing regimes and creating as much chaos as they can. They have targeted Putin s Russia for regime change. By doing that they have put a hook into Putin s jaw dragging him into the Middle East. Our text seems to give us the feeling this is not really something Mr. Gog wants to do. He is being dragged into this adventure by the actions of another. And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth. In my November newsletter I shared with you that at one time Mr. Putin wanted to be a friend with the 2

3 West. Before President Obama, and Secretary of State Hilary Clinton came to power, we were told that the cold war was over, the Russians were our friends. October 18, 2016 in the interview Anders Fogh Rasmussen, former Prime Minister of Denmark, Secretary General of NATO by Brian Kilmeade of Fox s Kilmeade and Friends, when asked the questions about the Russian leader Vladimir Putin, he said that when he first met Mr. Putin he was very pro-western. He even expressed a desire to join NATO. Then he suddenly changed. The regime changes in Georgia & the Ukraine instigated by America and the CIA was threatening to bring down the Russian government, changed Mr. Putin. Mr. Raumussen helps us to understand why former friends are now on the brink of a nuclear war. Mr. Obama s Globalist agenda requires a boogeyman in order to justify its polices at home and its interference into other nation s affairs, Vladimir Putin is the chosen boogeyman. Consider the following headline Headline - Making a Russian bear a Democratic scapegoat Friday, December 30, 2016 Billy Davis, Steve Jordahl (OneNewsNow.com) &utm_term= &utm_content= &utm_campaign=27814 Democrats needed a scapegoat after Hillary Clinton's unexpected Election Day loss and found it in Russia, says a political analyst. People who understand how the Left operates knew what was happening in past weeks as President Barack Obama blamed the Russians for November's outcome, says Sandy Rios, a Washington, D.C. - based talk show radio host for American Family Radio.They were laying the groundwork in case Hillary Clinton did not win," observes Rios, "and they wanted to blame the win on something besides her." "The Russians hacked the election" has been the meme from Democrats and the media for weeks, alleging that the Russians purposely helped Trump defeat the Democratic nominee. President Obama doubled down on that accusation Thursday when he announced punishment: 35 Russian diplomats would be expelled from the U.S., and two Russian-owned properties would be shut down. What the Russian government allegedly did - or more likely people affiliated with it - was break into the computers of the Democratic National Committee and the computer of John Podesta, Clinton's campaign chairman. Podesta, in fact, was fooled by a "phishing ," a common tactic by hackers that claimed to be from Google and asked him to change his password. The hacked mails, later leaked by Wikileaks, revealed that the DNC cooperated with Clinton to defeat Sen. Bernie Sanders; Clinton demanded $12 million for Morroco's king to attend a meeting; Clinton's hatred for "every American." Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson has stated that there were no altered ballots or hacked voting machines, Daily Wire, a conservative news website, noted in a Dec. 17 story. Obama's purpose, she says, is an attempt to "delegitimize" Donald Trump's presidency just weeks before he takes the oath of office. End of Article Another headline from November s newsletter reveals just what has brought Russia into the middle east. It is in part a self-defense response. Putin is smart enough to know what our propagandizing news media is hiding from us. The Syrian civil war was a Globalist plot to over throw a Russian ally thereby gaining 3

4 control of the whole Middle east. The vacuum created by the fall of Lybia and the Syrian war created the conditions for the rise of ISIS. Headline - RUSSIA NEXT ON THE LIST FOR REGIME CHANGE? By Patrick Christys Fri, Oct 14, There's a slowly growing discussion out there that Russia may be next on the list for the worn-out playroom called "regime change" : (This article quotes and gives links to several other articles) As the first article observes, "The U.S. has, of course, already carried out regime change in Guatemala, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Chile, Haiti and many other countries. The U.S. was also instrumental in the recent regime change in Ukraine. And as it also notes, there is a growing consensus in foreign circles that Russia is next for the program of "regime change": "New Republic writes:" 'There are now voices in Moscow saying that these sanctions are an attempt to force regime change in Russia.' "Richard Becker of the American antiwar group Answer Coalition says:"' Their (US and NATO) clear aim is to surround Russia, to weaken Russia in the long run [and] to bring about regime change in Russia' 'Regime change has become the latest buzzword against rulers the West dislikes. It was Iraq s Saddam Hussain at one time, Libya s Muammar Gaddafi at another time and now it is Russia s Putin. The Russian leader may not be an easy prey.' "Former Associated Press and Newsweek reporter Robert Parry wrote in April: 'Now that the demonization of Russia s President Vladimir Putin is in full swing, one has to wonder when the neocons will unveil their plan for regime change in Moscow, despite the risks that overthrowing Putin and turning Russia into a super-sized version of Ukraine might entail for the survival of the planet.' End of Quote The second stage of Operation Chaos, is the delegitimizing of the State of Israel. This delegitimizing double-standard applied to the Jewish homeland is an expression of anti-semitism of the UN and the Obama administration. Headline - Obama Sticks It to Israel on His Way Out the Door - GARTH KANT - 12/23/ =f7e249c0f3-rss_ _campaign&utm_medium= &utm_term=0_c28c63c891-f7e249c0f (WND) Israeli officials are furious with President Obama for allowing the U.N. to pass a resolution Friday calling for the limiting of the Jewish state to the borders it had before the 1967 war. Critics say the move effectively strips Israel of any bargaining power in any future peace negotiations by forcing the state to forfeit its biggest bargaining chip. With the U.S. taking the extraordinary move of abstaining, the Security Council passed the resolution, which demands Israel immediately and completely cease all settlement activities in the occupied 4

5 Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem. By not using the United States veto in the U.N. Security Council to prevent it from coming up for a vote, Obama effectively endorsed the resolution. As Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz put it, an abstention is a vote for the resolution. Dershowitz blasted President Obama s lame duck attempt to tie the hands of his successor as both counterproductive to peace and undemocratic in nature. End of Quote President Elect Trump has declared himself a friend of Israel. He has made a commitment to stand by Israel. Mr. Obama is doing all he can to hinder Israel and Mr. Trump. He is doing everything possible to force Israel into the Two State Solution. With this move he is stripping all of the bargaining leverage that would allow Israel to seek an arrangement that would guarantee their security and survival. The following headlines reveal President Obama s underhandedness. Headline - WH Defends Israeli Vote Move: Threatens Two-State Solution in Region By Todd Beamon Friday, 23 Dec :38 PM The Obama administration Friday defended its abstention on a key United Nations resolution condemning Israel for West Bank settlements, with Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes saying that the continued activity threatened longstanding U.S. policy calling for a two-state solution in the region. Rhodes declined to say whether President-elect Donald Trump's demand for a veto Thursday influenced Obama's decision."president Obama doesn't have to worry about politics," he said. "He's leaving. "We're worried about the situation on the ground where we see settlement activity that is making a two-state solution impossible. End of Quote Headline - Israel accuses Obama administration of helping craft, push UN censure Published December 25, Netanyahu lashes out at U.S. over U.N. resolution. Israel s government publicly accused the Obama administration Sunday of helping create and push the recently passed United Nations resolution condemning settlement activity, with a top official telling Fox News they have ironclad information on the U.S. government s involvement. We have rather ironclad information from sources in both the Arab world and internationally that this was a deliberate push by the United States and in fact they helped create the resolution in the first place, David Keyes, spokesman for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, said on Fox News America s News HQ. End of Quote Headline - Obama Betrays Israel at The United Nations - Is America's Reprieve Now Over? BY MICHAEL SNYDER/ECONOMIC COLLAPSE BLOG DECEMBER 26, Barack Obama actually did it. Despite enormous pressure from the government of Israel, 5

6 President-elect Donald Trump and members of his own party in Congress, Barack Obama decided to stick a knife in Israel's back at the United Nations. On Friday, the UN Security Council adopted a resolution that calls for a "two-state solution based on the 1967 lines" and that shockingly states that "the establishment by Israel of settlements in the Palestinian territory occupied since 1967, including East Jerusalem, has no legal validity. You can read the full text of the UN Security Council resolution that was just adopted right here. These are some of the highlights that I pulled out of the document... It refers to Israel as "the occupying Power" -It calls for a "two-state solution based on the 1967 lines" -It speaks of a Middle East "where two democratic States, Israel and Palestine, live side by side in peace within secure and recognized borders" -It demands "the dismantlement of all settlement outposts erected since March To me, the following is the key paragraph in the entire resolution. Reaffirms that the establishment by Israel of settlements in the Palestinian territory occupied since 1967, including East Jerusalem, has no legal validity and constitutes a flagrant violation under international law and a major obstacle to the achievement of the two-state solution and a just, lasting and comprehensive peace -It stipulates "that Israel immediately and completely cease all settlement activities in the occupied Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem" So it seems clear that the UN Security Council has affirmed three major points that we have been watching for... #1 A Palestinian state exists. #2 The 1967 cease-fire lines represent the borders between the state of Israel and Palestine, but future negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians could alter these borders. #3 East Jerusalem belongs to the Palestinians. This resolution does not refer to East Jerusalem as the future capital of Palestine, but that is obviously what is intended. But perhaps another resolution will come later which will give official UN Security Council recognition to a Palestinian state. Barack Obama just made the worst decision of his entire presidency, and from this point forward nothing is ever going to be the same again. End of Quote. Will there ever be such a thing as a Two State reality in Israel? According to the Word of God there will be a day when a decree will bring forth a nation not desired by God. Very soon after the world will be plunged into a nuclear war. Zep 2:1-3 KJV Gather yourselves together, yea, gather together, O nation not desired; Before the decree bring forth, before the day pass as the chaff, before the fierce anger of the LORD come upon you, before the day of the LORD'S anger come upon you. Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the LORD'S anger. Our text tells us that there is a nation God does not desire, but the World demands it. It is the nation of Palestine. When the decree brings it into being, God s anger will bring the judgement to the world. Chaff is a thing that gets consumed by fire. God speaks to the descendants of Esau, the twin brother of Jacob, the father of Israel. Those descendants are referred to as Palestinians today. Eze 35:7-10 KJV Thus will I make mount Seir most desolate, and cut off from it him that passeth out and him that returneth. And I will fill his mountains 6

7 with his slain men: in thy hills, and in thy valleys, and in all thy rivers, shall they fall that are slain with the sword. I will make thee perpetual desolations, and thy cities shall not return: and ye shall know that I am the LORD. Because thou hast said, These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it; whereas the LORD was there: Twenty-six hundred years ago God already knew about the Two State Solution, that President Obama and his Secretary of State John Kerry are pressuring Israel to surrender to. He knew that the Palestinians intend to take both states and wipe Israel off of the map. God tells the Palestinians when you divide Israel, I will slaughter you and fill your land with your bodies. God continues this message by stating when the whole world is rejoicing over you, I will make you desolate. The division of Israel is the trip wire that sets off the Seven Years of Death known as the Tribulation. Mr. Obama is kicking at the trip wire of death. Eze 35:11-15 KJV Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will even do according to thine anger, and according to thine envy which thou hast used out of thy hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I have judged thee... Thus with your mouth ye have boasted against me, and have multiplied your words against me: I have heard them. Thus saith the Lord GOD; When the whole earth rejoiceth, I will make thee desolate... The Apostle Paul under the unction of the Holy Ghost penned the same thing, 1Th 5:2-3 KJV For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. Plans are a foot to declare Palestine a state and Israel the occupier of Palestinian land thereby cutting Israel in half. One day that will become a reality but this will also be a reality Mal 1:3-5 KJV And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness.... The border of wickedness, and, The people against whom the LORD hath indignation for ever. And your eyes shall see, and ye shall say, The LORD will be magnified from the border of Israel. To sum up what God has just said, you will move Israel s border and I will put Israel borders back where I intended it to be. When I move the border back, you will be dead and gone. So what will 2017 bring us? It will bring us closer to the Tribulation and a nuclear war. It will also bring us closer to the Rapture of the Church. The year 2017 will bring America a new president, Donald J Trump! It will also bring Israel a much needed friend. America is a gift to Israel and Israel to America. When the Russians invade Israel at the beginning of the Tribulation, as God has declared, Russia and her allies are slaughtered, leaving Israel victorious. Israel will have total mastery of her land and Temple Mound. Halfway through the seven-year 7

8 Tribulation, the Antichrist, whom Israel has had a treaty with, breaks the treaty by invading Israel. Israel will be forced to flee into the wilderness to escape. It is at that time that the Great Eagle will come to rescue Israel. Rev 12:13-14 KJV And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman (Israel) which brought forth the man child(jesus). And to the woman (Israel) were given two wings of a great eagle (America), that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. The Eagle must be great when Israel needs her. Israel is fed and supplied by that eagle for 31/2 years. After eight years of a Globalist President, America is declining. She has been steadily bled of her strength and power. Her worst enemy has been her own commander and chief. January 20, 2017 will bring an end to that. The Eagle will have a man who wants to make America great again. America has a destiny to be that Great Eagle that stands at Israel s side. Gen 12:2-3 KJV And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: (3) And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. May the year 2017 find America marching away from the curse and toward the blessing! The Message of the Moment , Will the Eagle be Great Again?
