Are Mass Migrations Part of Bible Prophecy? - Rick Wiles (Video)

Rick Wiles from www.TruNews.com guest on the
Jim Bakker Show

Rick Wiles, from www.TruNews.com, visited the Jim Bakker Show recently and talked about the mass migration of people we are seeing in the world today. It's not only the illegal immigration the United States has seen of people crossing its borders which has been going on for many years now. More recently, due to the advancement of Islam in the Middle East, throngs of people are moving into European countries. I'm sure you've seen that on the news.

What does it mean in light of Bible prophecy? Here's a short video in which Rick Wiles talks about how this mass migration could, and probably will, spread throughout the world and how that will require a worldwide system to manage everything. (Tweet that!)

For Bible and prophecy students, we recognize this as the Biblically prophesied "One World Government" (Tweet that!) which will allow an evil world dictator to take over all economies and ruling systems that now exists in the world.

It [that is, the second Beast] also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, 17 so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name. (Revelation 13:16-17, NIV)

In addition, it seems to be coming clearer every day that "radical Islam" – that is, Islam forcing itself on all others and killing any other faith – will play a clear role in the End Times. (Tweet that!) So listen as Rick Wiles talks about Jihadists within the masses migrating from the Middle East to Europe:

Posted October 9, 2015

I'll admit that I have not heard of Rick Wiles before, nor his work at "TruNews.com." However it seems he's worth becoming familiar with. We'll view another video from him in the next post.

For today, however, think about how these current-day mass migrations might be part of Bible prophecy being fulfilled right before our very eyes. (Tweet that!)

Inhabitants of the Earth Will Worship the Beast - Bible vs. Islamic Prophecy - Part 3 -- Plus Easter Moments Countdown Days 31 & 30

Continuing our study of the lies Islam teaches about the return of the Son of God, Jesus the Christ, here's more from Joel Richardson's DVD End Times Eyewitness: Israel, Islam and the Unfolding Signs of Messiah's Return. (Tweet that!)

Today we'll hear from Sheikh Ekrima Said Sabri. Sabri is the President of Quranic and Islamic Studies at Al-Quds University in Jerusalem.

From the DVD:

Joel Richardson narrating: "According to the Muslim expectation, together, the Mahdi and the Muslim Jesus, will cause Islam to become supreme throughout the world causing most to become Muslims. Likewise, according to the Bible, the Antichrist and the False Prophet will force all inhabitants of the world to follow them." 

[Sabri, in interview translated in captions on DVD:] "The non-Muslims will not be completely demolished, but there will be an overcoming of Islam, because it will grow stronger. As we know, because Islam will become stronger as it is in stronger Islamic countries. Its followers will increase in number. Of course one of the main reasons for the increase of Islam will be the appearance of Jesus according to our religion. When Jesus will come he will speak to the Christians and to the other religions, proclaiming that he is Jesus and he will champion the laws of Mohammad, then there will be a great numbers of Christians who will choose Islam as their new religion. Because the prophet they believed in will proclaim the religion of Mohammad."

Of course any person who comes claiming to be Jesus and then who denies the truth of the Cross and urges anyone to believe in "the religion of Mohammad" is not Jesus but is a fraud, a liar, and an agent of Satan. (Tweet that!)

The true Jesus would never ever ever promote another religion. Anyone who thinks that could happen is beyond ignorant. (Tweet that!) Jesus Himself is the Truth. He said so in John 14:6.

Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. 

No one comes to the Father except through me."

John 14:6

Jesus is the true "religion," although it's not a religion -- it's simply the truth. Anything else is a false religion, which is a system of rules or rituals meant to appease a god. Jesus would never promote a false religion!

A true Christian will never abandon Jesus. Nor will we ever worship the Beast that is Satan.

"All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast—all whose names have not been written in the book of life belonging to the Lamb that was slain from the creation of the world." (Revelation 13:8 NIV, 1984) 

"He exercised all the authority of the first beast on his behalf, and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed." (Revelation 13:12 NIV, 1984) 

"Because of the signs he was given power to do on behalf of the first beast, he deceived the inhabitants of the earth." (Revelation 13:14a NIV, 1984) 

"He was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that it could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed." (Revelation 13:15 NIV, 1984)

Muslims Teach the Lie that Jesus Will Deny the Cross! - Bible vs. Islamic Prophecy - Part 2 -- Plus Easter Moments Countdown Days 33 & 32

In the previous post we started exploring Joel Richardson's DVD End Times Eyewitness: Israel, Islam and the Unfolding Signs of Messiah's Return. Mr. Richardson exposes the lies the religion of Islam teaches regarding the return of Jesus Christ. (Tweet that!)

It's so easy to see the fingerprints of Satan all over how Islam has twisted the End Times prophecies in the Bible. (Tweet that!)

Joel Richardson on his DVD:

"To discuss the Muslim expectations concerning their two primary Messiah figures, I sat down with … Sheikh Ekrima Said Sabri. Sabri is the President of Quranic and Islamic Studies at Al-Quds University in Jerusalem. He is also the son of the former grand [Muhvdi?] in Jerusalem." 

[Sabri speaking, translated in captions on DVD:] "According to our theology, the Mahdi is a righteous man. Almighty God will send him at the end of days in order to fulfill justice during that period of time he will rule, and then he will die. Mahdi is a normal person. It is important to us, that in our faith, if the Mahdi will appear, we will support him. According to our faith, he will meet with Jesus Christ, and Jesus Christ will come at the end of days and they will work together to establish justice in the world." 

[Joel Richardson:] "According to Muslim belief, when Jesus returns he will come back as a Muslim who will deny that he ever claimed divinity or ever claimed to be the Son of God or ever died on a cross.

[Sabri, translated in captions on DVD:] "When Jesus will come back he will break the cross. It is an illustration of denying the events that took place on the cross, and to proclaim to the world that he was never crucified."

Of course none of this is true. None of it.

Islam teaches their Muslim Jesus will return to publicly deny that he ever died on the cross. Ironic, isn't it, that Muslim extremists called the 21 Coptic Christians they beheaded "People of the Cross." (Tweet that!)

Their own testimony of calling these Christians "People of the Cross" shows the lie of their prophetic teachings and reveals they know it's a lie. (Tweet that!)

"For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to use who are being saved, it is the power of God."  (1 Corinthians 1:18, NIV 1984)

Joel Richardson's
End Times Eyewitness:
Israel, Islam and the Unfolding
Signs of Messiah's Return
WND.com

In my post on February 19, What Legacy Are You Leaving Behind?, I mentioned the DVD End Times Eyewitness. My friend, Walt, loaned me his copy of this DVD and I found much of the information absolutely amazing. The parallels between Bible prophecy and Islamic prophecy astounded me. (Tweet that!)

This information is new to me, so I'm assuming it will be new to many Christians. (Tweet that!) I feel it's important for Christians (and others) to be aware of and informed about what Muslims are saying and believing about these End Times. (Tweet that!) So today I'm starting a series of posts to relate some information from this important DVD.

The DVD is by Joel Richardson, author of the book The Islamic Antichrist, and was produced by WND Films (WorldNetDaily.com).

You know? I truly hate to date myself with the phrase, "I remember when..." But truly, it wasn't that long ago that I remember when popular thought from Bible prophecy geeks and Bible scholars was that the Antichrist would come out of the revived Roman empire. (Tweet that!) I remember prophecy leaders talking about the possibility that the Antichirst could come out of Great Britain. There were even discussions of Prince Charles, who was born the same year as Israel (1948), and the red dragon on the back of the throne and did it have meaning in light of the prophecies in the Bible book of Revelation about the Red Dragon?

There have been many, many theories about the Antichrist and who he may be. And I don’t think that’s wrong because we are supposed to be watching and trying to figure it all out so we will not be caught unaware or unprepared. But my how times have changed.

I have always believed that more about prophecy would become clear as the coming of Jesus approaches. I believe the closer we get the more clearly we'll be able to see how Bible prophecies will be fulfilled. Now that I'm learning about Islamic prophecies, it's amazingly clear how the evil one, Satan, might be working to try to usurp the Bible's End Times prophecies and put himself in the place of Jesus Christ.

We've talked about the End Times Bible prophecy of false prophets appearing and deceiving many people. Please keep that in mind as you read this series of posts.

I'd like you to hear it from Joel Richardson himself. In his DVD, this is what Mr. Richardson says:

Joel Richardson speaking on his DVD:

“Another major sign that Jesus warned of with regard to the last days would be the rise of false prophets. Today, throughout the Islamic world, in the nations that surround Israel, there is a dramatic rise in Messianic expectation. 

“According to Islamic theology, Muslims are expecting, in the last days, two primary Messiah figures. The first individual they call the Mahdi. In Iran they call him the 12^th Imam. The Mahdi is essentially a religious, military, political leader that comes in the last days to cause all the world to convert to Islam. 

“The second individual that Muslims are looking for is Isa Al-Massi [sp?] or Jesus Christ. Muslims teach that when Jesus comes back, he comes back as a Muslim to tell all the people of the world, including Christians, that he never died on the cross. He never claimed to be the Son of God. That Islam is the only true religion. And that all people should convert to Islam and submit to the Mahdi."

The Bible gives this prophecy concerning the Antichrist:

The beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies and to exercise its authority for forty-two months. It opened its mouth to blaspheme God, and to slander his name and his dwelling place and those who live in heaven. It was given power to wage war against God’s holy people and to conquer them. And it was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation. All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast—all whose names have not been written in the Lamb’s book of life, the Lamb who was slain from the creation of the world. (Revelation 13:5-8) 

Please stop by for the next post where we'll learn more about the amazing parallels between the prophecies in the Bible and Islamic prophecy.

The People of the Cross Beheaded and Bible Prophecy -- Plus Easter Moments Countdown Days 37 & 36

THE RIGHT RESPONSE TO COPTIC 21'S MARTYRDOM
Exclusive: Joel Richardson urges Christians
to imitate Jesus, 'stand firm to the end'

The prophecy in the Bible:

When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the witness they had borne. They cried out with a loud voice, "O Sovereign Lord, holy and true, how long before you will judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?" Then they were each given a white robe and told to rest a little longer, until the number of their fellow servants and their brothers should be complete, who were to be killed as they themselves had been. (Revelation 6:9-11, ESV)

Then I saw thrones, and seated on them were those to whom the authority to judge was committed. Also I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. (Revelation 20:4, ESV)

From the article "The right response to Coptic 21's martyrdom" by Joel Richardson:

The video captures this brother below praying moments before his death. His final words were, "Ya Rab Yesua," or in English, "Yea, Lord Jesus."

Tweetables:

"I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus." (Tweet that.)

Those who had been #beheaded for the testimony of #Jesus...came to life and reigned with #Christ for 1000 years. (Tweet this.)

What Legacy Are You Leaving Behind? -- Plus Easter Moments Countdown Days 39 & 38

End Times Eyewitness,
the DVD Walt loaned me
which I plan to tell you more
about in coming posts on this blog.

Today I want to tell you about Walt. Maybe you have a "Walt" in your life too. Walt sat directly in front of me and my family in church. A large man, he blocked my view of the Pastor and pulpit so I would have to lean right or left to look around him to see the Pastor as he speaks his sermon. But sitting close to Walt was enjoyable because I could hear his deep baritone voice as he sang the hymns.

After church Walt and I would have some great conversations. Walt loved prophecy as much as I do, and prophecy had a big impact in Walt's life like it has mine. And so every Sunday morning we would talk about what we'd seen going on in the world that week that matched up with Bible prophecy. Walt would often write down on pieces of paper web sites he'd been exploring and he'd bring those to me to check out. As a matter of fact I have two of those pieces of paper laying here on my desks right now. We'd talk about the prophecy books we were reading or the DVDs we'd seen that week. Often we would loan each other books and DVDs.

As a matter of fact, only last month Walt loaned me a DVD that so impacted me I immediately ordered a copy for myself so I could return his. The DVD is End Times Eyewitness: Israel, Islam and the Unfolding Signs of Messiah's Return by Joel Richardson and I've been planning to glean some quotations from that DVD to share with you here on the blog. I just haven't got that far yet.

Walt and I had one of those great conversations about prophecy the Sunday before last, on February 8th. Which is why it was such a shock to get a phone call that following Thursday, February 12, telling us Walt had gone home to be with the Lord. Just that quick he was gone. (Probably a heart attack, though we don't know yet.)

Last Sunday our Sunday school leader told us the topic we'll be studying next: the book by Jonathan Cahn, The Mystery of the Shemitah. Walt gave that book to our Sunday school leader who had planned to have Walt in the class to help answer questions, guide us, etc. Now the class inspired by Walt will go on, but Walt won't be there.

Sunday there was this big empty space in front of me where Walt usually sits. On my couch, beside where I do my daily Bible reading, lays a book, The Islamic Antichrist by Joel Richardson, and another DVD about the Bible book of Daniel by Perry Stone -- the most-recent loaners from Walt.

Today, even though it's Thursday, we're at the church. Today we're attending a celebration of Walt's life. There's a lot to celebrate.

I can only try to imagine what it's like where Walt is right now. He is with the Lord Jesus Christ, experiencing the promise of eternal life which is for all those (and only those) who are believers in Jesus. (Tweet that!) I believe Walt now knows all the answers -- about where we are in God's timeline of the End Times, of what's going on with Russia, what God has planned for those evil men who have beheaded our brothers in Christ, and so much more.

For the rest of us who are still here, Walt left a great legacy. He taught many people like me a lot--probably more than he knew. He lived a life that honored the Lord Jesus Christ. He lived for Jesus right up to the very end. And the impact he left on many lives encouraging us in these End Times and strengthening our faith in Jesus continues on.

For me, it's a great time to ponder what legacy I'm leaving behind. What about you? (Tweet that!) My hope is that I'll do as well as Walt.
