HOWARD CONDER AND HIS COWARD'S CASTLE.

I post today Bob Mitchell's latest response to Revelation TV on his blog at his Shofar Ministries.

HOWARD CONDER AND HIS COWARD'S CASTLE.

I received a message from a friend yesterday, telling me dear Howard Conder of Revelation TV is still calling anyone a Pharisee who questions what he puts on the station. It is what used to be called in church circles a "Coward's Castle." You know, the preacher can attack certain people from his pulpit, but never actually takes any criticism himself.

This is sadly the case with Howard and Revelation TV. Jacob Prasch and myself raised concerns over certain preachers who are on the station. All we received in response was name calling. I was also told by someone very close to Howard I had left Revelation TV because Jacob had bullied me into leaving! Absolute nonsense.

You see, the issue is never discussed, but the messengers are attacked instead. A very large number of people have written both to me and Revelation TV complaining they have concerns but have never received one reply from Revelation.

As someone said Revelation TV is supposed to be a "church without walls" but is in fact a church without ears.It is constantly stated "Revelation TV is your channel" but not, it appears, when you question the leadership's decisions. Then you become a Pharisee.

I pray for Howard and the management and staff and volunteers who put so much into the work at Revelation TV. We applaud Howard's stand for Israel. But God hates a mixture. What fellowship has light with darkness? What fellowship has truth with error? It is simply no good saying "Yes, but they put such a lot of good programmes on there. Therefore, I will support them financially."

Is God not able to provide us with finances and a channel that promotes nothing but preachers, programmes and presenters who give out scripural truth without compromising with heretics who pay you to air their nonsense? God at this time in history is shaking everything as he said he would in the last days. A division is coming now within the professing church.

As always in history, a remnant will leave, and the majority will stay - at least for a while. Christ is returning for a bride who has "made herself ready", not a bride who thinks it is okay to have a mixture of truth and error and attacks anyone who questions her motives for that mixture, or in a loving way points out the problem.

Revelation TV, and Howard especially, bear a great responsibility to Christ and his church in these days. Sounding an unclear message and allowing fanciful stories such as God not having a clue what it was he created and having to ask Adam for help in naming his creation have the potential to lead people to follow and donate their cash to these heretics.

"Come out of her, My people", says the Lord. So, do we compromise, or leave? While I love everyone at Revelation I cannot stand by and watch them have heretics on air and attack a brother like Jacob Prasch for asking why these heretics are there in the first place. May God lead them and all of us deeper into his truth in these days as we prepare to meet the Lord.

THE RETURN OF THE NEPHILIM by RON GRAHAM.

I HAVE SPOKEN ON THIS SUBJECT MANY TIMES, AND FULLY AGREE WITH THIS NEW AND EXCELLENT EXPOSITION OF GENESIS CHAPTER SIX BY RON GRAHAM. I RECOMMEND IT TO YOU FOR SOME SERIOUS STUDY, FOR THESE THINGS ARE HAPPENING IN OUR WORLD NOW, DAY AFTER DAY! (BRIAN). .

"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world,against spiritual wickedness in high places" (Eph 6:12).

Whether or not we want to admit it, earth’s been invaded by an element of malevolent, supernatural, other dimensional beings. The paranormal is in full swing. The fight is raging and humanity is the prize. The battle has now moved into our four dimensional space/time continuum and still people ignore it or write it off as silly science fiction nonsense.

Yet science fiction often has a foundation based on fact. Earth's inhabitants are infor a measure of the paranormal unparalleled in the last 4000 years (2Thess 2:3b-4a). This son of perdition is ready to be revealed, his only hindrance is the Holy Spirit indwent Church (2 Thess 2:11b). Why would God send this strong delusion? The very next verse tells us why, "that they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness (2 Thess 2:12). 

In other words, those who had been presented with the truth of the Gospel of Christ, and rejected the truth, have nothing to look forward to but condemnation as God's strong delusion is implemented. When we take that last verse to fruition, many of us will come to a most horrible conclusion, Many of the people we have witnessed to over the years, who have remained steadfast in their rejection of the truth, will end up swallowing the strong delusion, hook, line, and sinker (Matthew 22:30).

Notice Jesus is here speaking of the resurrection and the angels of God in Heaven. Angels appear to men on numerous occasions in the Bible, and in male form. They are seen eating and drinking, therefore they undoubtedly have access to all human bodily functions (as in Gen chap 6 verses 2,4,5,7).

Scientists have extrapolated that there were as many people on the earth prior to the flood of Noah, as there are alive today. If that is the case, and since only eight people were saved from God's decree to destroy the human race from the face of the earth, something much more evil had to have taken place besides just inter-breeding of various human lineages. What occurred in the antediluvian world is to re-emerge in the last days, that is, The Return Of The Nephilim. Satan is the "god of this world", and most men and women in leadership roles over nations bow to his every whim (Matthew 24:37).

Currently Satan, his horde of fallen angels, and the demons of old are poised on the brink of facilitating the most startling phenomenon the world will ever witness; the Bible calls it a “strong delusion”. The race is on; it’s a race against time itself. Not one of the multitudes of malevolent supernatural beings, or any human for that matter, has a clue as to when Satan’s time will run out. But there are certainly indications that humanity has entered its final phase, which portends that Satan’s last days are here. Satan can see the same things we see, except he sees them with an urgency the rest of us can’t even comprehend. Satan is responsible for the evil which will bring about much of the catastrophic occurrences on planet earth in the last days.

Satan has an agenda which includes a massive amount of deception and a bit of public exposure to pique the interest of a few, yet maintaining his agenda in the realm of science fiction for the moment. In the meantime scary things are happening – the appearance of ghosts/demons, “space” aliens, unexplained animal mutilations, etc. All of these weird occurrences are burgeoning. The world is moving into chilling, unexplored territory. Yet people seem to have no fear of the aforementioned occurrences. Why is that? Because we’ve been desensitized through some entertaining Hollywood movies, and the exploitation of the paranormal. We’ve got ghost hunters enjoying a field day while exploring all the claims of paranormal occurrences, vampires becoming so acceptable in our society that many want to become vampires themselves. When I was a young boy all my friends and I wanted to be like Superman who represented everything good – today kids and adults want to be vampires which represent everything evil. What an about face society has made.

Nothing seems to be lacking as Satan slowly and meticulously unveils his deception. The mainstream media has even gotten into the fray. They see the appearances of ghosts, goblins, ghouls, spirits, and anything that goes bump in the night as newsworthy entertainment. Imagine if by chance, someone actually runs into a few of these very real specters? Would people associate any evil with such a phenomenon? There’s more than just a chance man will see these spirits as benevolent. It is Satan’s goal that mankind embrace the whole idea of the paranormal as benevolent extraterrestrials meaning no harm but only good for earth’s populous.

Here’s the rub, the human race is being setup for the last day’s delusion. Everything is falling perfectly into place. The brunt of the delusion won’t be fully in place until the “Church” is in Heaven. There’s no doubt that what’s currently occurring all over the world points to a worldwide deception. To some of us who have been given discernment, Satan’s attempt at deluding the public is obvious. “…the son of perdition. Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God...”

Please try and understand that once the Church is gone and the deception is unleashed, believing anything but the lie of the enemy will be incredibly difficult – impossible for many. “God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:”

I broached the subject of supernatural evil in a commentary a few weeks ago and with the tremendous response from my readership I decided to delve a little deeper into this incredibly important subject matter of the book of Genesis chapter 6.

We’re told in chapter 6 of Genesis that a supernatural evil brought on the destruction of the antediluvian world. This subject matter deserves much more attention and explanation than I can place into one commentary, especially when one considers all the foolish and misleading interpretations of these few verses. Fallen angels, human women, and their offspring – the Nephilim is the focus in this commentary, but the paranormal stems from the demonic horde who, after the flood of Noah, found themselves without bodies. These were the Nephilim hybrids of that era. The last days before the return of our Lord Jesus will experience a resurgence of the Nephilim, hence all the activity surrounding the paranormal. Satan is readying the inhabitants of this planet to accept another invasion by the fallen angels and the return of the Nephilim.

Many folks today try to dismiss the Nephilim completely by attributing this assault on humanity as the result of the co-mingling of the sons of Seth with the daughters of Cain. Try and support that idea using Scripture. An acrobat would be hard pressed to perform such a stretch.

There were Nephilim (giants) in the land in those days and also after that. The procreation of human beings can create little monsters, but they aren’t monstrous. The Nephilim hybrid – the offspring created from the union of fallen angels and human women – brought about the most evil the world had ever experienced. To this very day we’ve not been subjected to such evil – but it is coming.

Let me get one thing straight. This commentary is not being written as an attempt to persuade those who hold opposing interpretations of Genesis 6 to change views. What I’m espousing here has come about through years of diligent study. I would propose that each “in Christ believer” do their own study of these critically important scriptures. Please don’t send me someone else’s contradicting study; believe me I’ve seen and read them all.

The verses in Genesis chapter 6 are perfectly clear and do not contradict Jesus’ words in Matthew chapter 22. “For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.”

God says what He means and means what He says. I decided a long time ago to challenge myself to learn what these verses meant instead of listening to others concerning these passages. If we adhere to what the Bible is actually telling us, the truth is not difficult to discern “That the sons of God (The Hebrew bene ha Elohiym – always refers to angels) saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose…There were giants (nĕphiyl in the Hebrew or Nephilim) in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.”

In the verses above the “sons of God” refers to fallen angels who came to earth, took wives of all they chose. Put in more simple terms, the fallen angel’s cohabitated with human women and their unions brought about these hybrids referred to as Nephilim, and they were giants. What we are told occurred during that stage of human history is an evil that quite frankly seems almost impossible to even consider let alone believe, yet it is factual. To the human mind the concept of angels and human women procreating is so repugnant – so beyond fantasy – that most simply dismiss it as impossible. The problem with dismissing this evil as fantasy, especially at this point in time, is akin to burying our heads in the sand. We, the Church, need to be keenly aware of and kept abreast of this strange evil coming about again. Make no mistake these fallen angels are currently continuing their shenanigans as they corrupt the last day’s human race. The bringing forth of the hybrids (Nephilim) into our midst has begun.

These fallen angels, through whatever means at their disposal, brought a mass of hybrid beings onto this planet with one goal in mind: to create a soulless and pure evil human hybrid – to replace all who are made in God’s image. Their success would have eliminated any chance of a forthcoming Messiah. Our Messiah arrived precisely when He was supposed to which tells us they were not successful. Satan has, once again, begun his dastardly deeds with another assault on mankind.

Non-human hybrids that had no souls were also void of any ability to love, therefore through the influence of the fallen angels their imaginations were pure evil continually. The evil was not merely focused on mankind but on the animal kingdom as well. With enough of this interbreeding, love could be bred out of man completely. This is exactly what occurred. All flesh became corrupted save Noah and his family. “And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.”

Why would God destroy every created thing? Why destroy poor dumb animals, the birds of the air, and creeping things? “And the LORD said, I will destroy man…, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air.” (v7b) Yes, the animal kingdom was also corrupted, thus God destroyed them also. These malevolent supernatural beings interfered in the animal kingdom to create part animal, part human “hybrids”; an animal soul cannot exist in a human body, and vice versa. FYI - the United States Senate has just passed a bill that would clear the way for the acceptance of sodomy and bestiality in the military and it was passed by a margin of 93 to 7. Who’s pulling the strings of government? “In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not…”

Unlike the giant Nephilim of the past the new hybrids are being created in labs around the world to resemble humans with human like traits. They will be just as soulless and loveless as those of the antediluvian corruption. They are probably already living among us. Everyone should become familiar with transhumanism. The secular scientists involved with this type of breeding animal/human hybrids are doing the devils bidding. I believe this is a major part of the strong delusion God will send to deceive the unbelieving world.

What I’ve explained in this commentary is completely verifiable through a diligent study of the scriptures. If you think I’m nuts, that a scenario such as I’ve espoused is impossible, then all I can say is wait and see. But while you wait you might heed Jesus’ words “But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.”

God Bless You All,

ANOTHER ABOMINATION BEFORE THE LORD, AS BRITAIN SLIDES FURTHER AWAY FROM THE TRUTH OF THE BIBLE.

NEW LAW ON CIVIL PARTNERSHIPS IN CHURCHES COMES IN TO EFFECT.

• 

A new law came into effect on the 5th December which allows homosexual civil partnerships to be registered on religious premises in England and Wales for the first time.

The new scheme is intended to be voluntary, although critics of the move believe that what is being portrayed as optional for churches will quickly become an expectation and then a duty.

The Church of England has produced a legal paper suggesting that churches will not be at risk of litigation if they refuse to register civil partnerships on their premises. However, two separate QC’s have given contrary advice, and believe that churches will be at risk of litigation if they refuse to provide civil partnerships.

In addition, Tory Peer Baroness O’Cathain is intending to propose a motion in the House of Lords next week, arguing that the new law is confusing and could lead to churches facing litigation if they refuse to host civil partnerships. If the Lords pass her proposal, then the provision introducing the new law could be annulled.
Lawyer Neil Addison, who comments on religious liberty issues, said: "The real danger is the possibility of churches being sued under the Equality Act for refusing to host civil partnerships. But what I think is much more likely is that local authorities will refuse to register churches for marriage unless the churches are willing to host civil partnerships."

Before the new law came into effect, the Government’s Equality Office held a consultation on the introduction of civil partnerships and subsequently reported that "the vast majority" of respondents "opposed the principle of civil partnerships being registered on religious premises". Yet despite this, the Government “remains committed to taking this important step for ... LGB rights.”

Recently, Conservative MP Mike Weatherley wrote to David Cameron and told him that Christian churches must be banned from performing any marriages at all if they refused to hold civil partnerships ceremonies for homosexuals on their premises.

Homosexual Marriage.

In contrast to its comments on the introduction of civil partnerships, the Church of England report did imply that the Government’s plan to introduce full homosexual marriage in churches could leave the church exposed under equality legislation.

Prime Minister David Cameron promised in October to introduce full homosexual marriage by 2015, ending the legal definition of marriage as the union of a man and a woman. The Church of England report implies that, if that happens, then equality laws may apply, which would open the Church of England to legal action if it did not provide for homosexual marriage on its properties. ‘If Parliament were in due course to legislate for same-sex marriage, as recently suggested by the Prime Minister, we would of course be in new territory,’ it said.

If homosexual marriage is legislated for, and if churches were not protected from being sued if they refused to marry homosexuals, then the vast majority of pastors and clergy may then be forced to choose between their conscience and their jobs, triggering the biggest threat to religious liberty in generations.

Comment:

Andrea Williams, CEO of Christian Concern, said:
“This is all part of a wider, radical social and political agenda to re-define marriage and force this re-definition on everybody, whether they want it or not. Such a re-definition will affect the whole of society profoundly, and has severe repercussions for the family.

“With the Prime Minister backing plans to introduce full homosexual marriage soon, the church at large needs to wake up very fast, or else church leaders who believe that marriage is between a man and a woman may well lose their liberty to continue acting according to that belief, and may be forced in the future to resign their positions or defy the law.” 

Votes:

The Prime Minister’s plans to introduce homosexual marriage could cost him many votes. A recent poll by ComRes found that a massive 83% of church-going Christians in the UK are opposed to plans by the Conservative Party to legalise homosexual marriage, and 57% of all respondents are ‘less likely to vote’ for the party because of this move.

NEW ISRAEL IDF APPOINTMENT RAISES EYEBROWS.

Appointment of IDF's new 'Iran Command' chief raises eyebrows

While the idea of the corps itself has broad support within the army, the same cannot be said about the choice of the man who is to lead it, by Amos Harel.

The decision by Defense Minister Ehud Barak and Israel Defense Forces Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Benny Gantz to create a new army formation, to be known as the Depth Corps, followed recent recommendations issued by a team headed by Maj. Gen. Gadi Eizenkot. Eizenkot was tapped for the task last summer, after he completed his assignment as GOC Northern Command and began an educational leave of absence.

Maj. Gen. Shai Avital was named head of the new corps, which has already earned the somewhat overstated sobriquet "the Iran Command." Israel already has a command for Iran affairs - the Mossad, which since the last decade has been doing the heavy lifting in the campaign against the Iranian nuclear threat. If there is any unit within the IDF that deals with Iran specifically it is the Israel Air Force, the main branch that will be called upon in the event of an Israeli attack on the country's nuclear facilities.

The new corps could, in the future, assist in mobilizing special forces in the Iranian context. More important, it will have the job of planning and leading operations in areas far beyond the borders, operations that are connected to the covert war against terror organizations (and, indirectly, against Iran ). One could imagine, for example, operations that have been ascribed to Israel, such as alleged IAF air strikes and special forces operations in Sudan, or the assassination of a Syrian general at his home in northern Syria.

Gantz instructed Eizenkot to assess recent developments and strategic shifts in the region to determine whether the IDF needed to make changes to its planning in response. In reviewing past assessments Eizenkot's team, which comprised high-ranking officers and one senior Mossad official, it was discovered that the problem had been identified back in 1982, when a decision was made to create a depth corps at the General Staff level.

Implementation was delayed until 1986 as a result of the first Lebanon war. Maj. Gen. (res. ) Doron Rubin was appointed head of the unit, but fallout from the raid it orchestrated against Ahmed Jibril's Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command in December, 1988, codenamed Operation Blue and Brown, shut down the command. Rubin stepped down and the remaining special operations unit was absorbed into the Northern Command.

Special operations

Eizenkot determined a need for a combined corps that could carry out operations far from the country's borders. It had to be capable not only of linear battle, for example sending tanks from the Golan Heights in the direction of Damascus, but also simultaneous attacks, such as strikes against scattered rocket launch sites, each of which must be neutralized.

Eizenkot envisioned a relatively small unit of about 100 troops, some of whom were already serving in special operations, answering directly to the chief of staff but freeing both the chief and deputy chief of staff of the need to deal directly with the areas under the corps' jurisdiction, which are technically their area of responsibility but in practice receive inadequate attention.

The jurisdiction of the district commands - north, central and south - generally extends only a few dozen kilometers beyond the border. In the Second Lebanon War commanders were reluctant to carry out depth operations in the Bekaa Valley. Col. Nitzan Alon, who last week was promoted to GOC Central Command, was eventually "borrowed" from his assignment in the West Bank to do the job.

The Depth Corps will have the authority to deploy special operations units when necessary, but under normal circumstances each unit's chain of command will remain unchanged.

In wartime the new corps might be assigned a sector, movement into which would be controlled by the relevant district command. An entity whose entire scope of interest lies well beyond the border is already close to being established.

"What is happening today is that actions in the strategic depth area are largely the result of some momentary flash," a senior officer who helped draft the recommendations told Haaretz. "An officer goes to Military Intelligence with an idea, and they start working on an operation. A corps headed by a major general will consider the threats methodically and continuously, and we hope it will lead to solutions and results," he said.

While the idea of the corps itself has broad support within the army, the same cannot be said about the choice of the man who is to lead it.

Avital, 59, who will return to active duty for the assignment, has a long and impressive record in special operations as an officer in Sayeret Matkal, the general staff's elite special-operations force, and later as its commander. But he left the army 10 years ago, of his own choosing, after just one rather undistinguished assignment as commander of a large unit. Since leaving the IDF he has tried his hand at farming, politics (he placed low on Kadima's candidate list in the 2006 election and did not make it into the Knesset ) and public service (as a controversial director general of the Environmental Protection Ministry).

Avital has a wealth of experience, but it is difficult to see how his resume in the past decade connects him to the technological advances of that period, to the nature of the activity he will oversee or the current crop of commanders. Perhaps the answer lies in the defense minister and chief of staff, his patrons.

ALAN FRANKLIN ON THE COMING ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL COLLAPSE.

The following article is reproduced from Alan Franklin's excellent website at http://www.thefreepressonline.co.uk/. (dated 1st December 2011).

I am getting e-mails from lots of people, especially in America, asking what is happening in Europe and the Middle East, how long we have before the world financial system crashes – and much else in the same vein. What comes first: currency collapse or major wars? Or do we get the worst of all possible worlds? Read on! 

It is difficult to give a precise timeframe for the coming world financial collapse, which is inevitable: the popping of the last great bubble, the crash of cash and financial meltdown. Realizing what was coming, we put our house on the market in Britain in 2006, thinking the crisis was imminent. We sold in 2008, downsizing and paying off all debt. Now I don’t need to work for money, which is just as well, as paid work is likely to be in short supply. Instead Pat and I write books and I make DVDs and travel anywhere I am invited to give Powerpoint presentations on what is going on – and how the Bible predicts it all. It’s nice to know the end of the story! It’s not even a secret: the Lord Jesus is coming back to rule and reign from Jerusalem.

In 2008 I was in a US hotel, on a speaking tour, when the big financial crash happened. I watched it unravel on CNN. I thought then: This is it. However, I reckoned without Ben Bernanke, Geithner and co puffing up the banking credit balloon and unleashing the printing presses. That bought some time. That time may soon run out, starting in Europe with the disaster rippling out to America and across the world. For this is a world crisis, engineered to usher in a One World Government, one-world money system, mark of the beast – and Antichrist.

I have been predicting the coming Greater Depression since about 2005 and we wrote a book in 2006 called "Goodbye America, Goodbye Britain." This is available from our web-shop and gives, among other things, the spiritual reasons for our nations’ decline and fall. One chapter is titled: "The Coming Foreclosure Tragedy." In parallel with the coming money crash, a harbinger of the New World Order being secretly set up behind the scenes, is the loud beating of war drums.

I am writing this from Israel, where we are staying in the Western Galilee until 2012. On certain days the trains are crammed with the conscripts of the Israeli Defense Force, a fine body of young people whose courage I expect to be put to the test sooner rather than later. Yes, war is coming, starting with the scenario set out in Psalm 83. Read it for yourselves: it details a conspiracy of Arab nations around Israel joining together to wipe out the Jewish nation.

The uprisings, from Egypt to Syria, Tunisia to Morocco, will end up ushering in the longed for Caliphate, a vast Islamic union effectively under one authority: the false god Allah – a god of war. War will then be declared on Israel, the grit in the eye of the Islamic world. The Arab states taking part will be all but destroyed, their military taken out for good. Then Russia enters the fray, as detailed in Ezekiel 38/39. The Gog/Magog Russian-led invasion sees the end of Russia and its allies as a force in world affairs. God is long suffering but will act to defend His Chosen People. It is written. It is true. It will take place. 

This vast army, including the solders of Iran, Turkey, and other named nations, (but not those named in Psalm 83- they have been dealt with already) is wiped out by God alone on the mountains of Israel. Even the IDF plays no role in their defeat- God alone acts. These are times of great prophetic events coming to fruition in our lifetimes! The church should be teaching this and waking people up, to yearn for the Lord’s return. Instead most of the church is yawning and planning the newest marketing soft-sell: Christianity-lite, as practiced by fluff daisy preachers like Joel Osteen, a tickler of itching ears. The Osteens and Rick Warrens of this world reject prophecy as "too negative." I have been called "negative." Things are certainly turning really "negative" for all those who don't know Christ. All else is set to crash and burn, everything most folk set their hearts on, all the rubbish we value so highly. Soon, all will be gone. Only those with their feet on The Rock will celebrate.

Here I should mention that I want as many people as possible to understand the end times scenario. I am planning a two/three month speaking tour of US churches this coming spring, subject to bookings. For America, so naïve in foreign policy that it thinks it a good idea to replace people like Egypt’s Mubarak, who kept the peace with Israel, with The Muslim Brotherhood, who just celebrated their hoped- for election victory with a “Kill The Jews Day” in Cairo, needs to wise up fast if it is to survive. God blesses those who bless Israel and curses those who curse it, like the Obamanation. Oh yes, reckoning is coming fast, like the approaching horsebeats of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

With the world situation looking more dire every minute, this may be my last chance to get the truth out, and you can book me via alan@thefreepressonline.co.uk My initial plan is to start and finish in Dallas, from March, perhaps thru May, then taking in Tennessee/Virginia in April and then Arizona in May. Nothing has been finalized as yet. I usually do conferences in the States for South West Radio Ministries out of Oklahoma- see links on our website. 

These are exciting times to be a Christian, the times of the signs, which are everywhere. Wars are often started in tough times, by governments desperate to divert attention from their own follies. The follies are huge and insoluble: cash is about to crash in a flash, all round the world. The nations, like Italy, Greece, Portugal, Belgium et al, are like drunks running out of credit. Time is about up in the Last Chance Saloon. I have deliberately not given great lists of figures in this article: trillions of Dollars mean little to most people, but if you want America's latest debt tally, look at the Debt Clock which we link to on this website.

You should pay attention when the world’s central banks, from London to Washington, Japan to Geneva, step in together to pump up the money system, as they did this week. However much they huff and puff, Humpty cannot be put back together. The big banks of Europe and America are- unwittingly- not just the biggest residential landlords but also the biggest commercial landlords. Yes, many of those useless, empty office blocks and redundant malls have been repossessed. However, they are in effect worthless, but still in the banks’ books for the values pledged against the loans. It's fairyland banking, not based on reality, or "mark to market," - in other words, not on the true value today.

It is fictions like this which keep the system from crashing today. For example, Greek debt. Banks, pension funds, insurance companies etc all put in Dollars that are now worth 50 cents apiece. That's if you can get it off the Greeks, who are broke. Italy could crash any day, and there is not enough money in the world to bail out Italy, Spain,Portugal, Ireland- even France. Britain's banks alone are said to have loaned £190 billion to these dodgy economies. Much is undoubtedly lost.

Japan is hugely over-borrowed, although owes its debt trillions mainly to its own people. They can probably kiss that goodbye. China is building up a similar credit bubble to the US, especially in property loans. You have to understand economics, world affairs and above all Bible prophecy to pull all the threads together. I am helped by the fact that in prophecy I have had some great teachers over 30 years, while Pat and I published, among many other things, a nationwide business newspaper for 16 years.  I can read balance sheets.

The world collectively has an imbalance sheet. Few politicians understand all this, with the possible exception of Ron Paul in America, the only man mentally equipped to be President. Yes, I am saying that the rest of the candidates are, variously, none too bright, followers of false religion (Mitt the Mormon) or philanderers. They don’t cut the mustard. However, waiting in the wings is the strong man who will take decisive global leadership decisions. The bad news for the world is that this will be Antichrist, Satan's man for the end times, the most terrifying period in world history.

I was reporting in the European Parliament when the vote was taken to bring in the Euro. This was part of the German scheme to control Europe via finance, it having failed twice to do so via war. Now the Euro seems to be falling apart and may well do so. However, I would be surprised. Too much has been invested in what the European Union calls “The Project” for it to be allowed to fail. The EU motto is “ever deeper union” and what is most likely is fiscal union coming in alongside monetary union for the 17 states which have the Euro as their currency, run by the German controlled European Central Bank. 

This is clearly a major step towards the one world electronic currency, which could arrive soon. It will be touted as the solution to the world financial crisis, which the nations’ politicians are clearly unable to cope with. One Italian newspaper neatly summed them up as:  “Poltroons dancing round the rim of a volcano.” The dance goes on until the music stops.

You can take some steps to protect your family from  what will follow, for example, by paying off loans and learning to grow vegetables if you have a garden. Once unemployment rises over, say, 40 per cent expect major riots and cities in flames. It is coming. You have seen a few harbingers of this already in cities in Europe where they think they have “entitlements” without responsibilities- the result of decades of Socialist dogma and vast government agencies stifling most initiative. The Bible says that if a man does not work let him not eat, remember.

The number one thing is to get right with God, Who we will need to survive all that is coming. Study the Word, tell people how Bible prophecy predicts everything that is unfolding. Do not worry, as we know the end of the story: the Lord wins! However, although the church does not go through the tribulation we will certainly face some tough times in the near future. World depressions affect us all

A pastor friend is buying silver coins, to use as currency when paper money fails, as it will; if not now, then in the not too distant future. I also tell people to buy gold. The price is being desperately held down by the big banks and central bankers. They hate gold, as it shows up their own pathetic paper funny money: fiat money, not backed by anything but a false promise and hot air.  I did a lot of research and found what we believe is the world's best gold-trading company, bullionvault.com, and put their advert on our website so people know where to go for a fair deal at the lowest prices - you can even trade yourself with no problem. When all else fails gold will be the last man standing. 

The last chapter of the story has been written. The prophetic time clock was at five minutes to midnight in 1948 when Israel was reformed as a nation, exactly as prophesied over 2,500 years before- in one day, as Isaiah predicted. Today I’d say we are a couple of seconds from midnight, the soon end of the church age at the rapture,  followed by the end of the age of the gentiles at the end of the seven year fast-approaching Great Tribulation. First – any day now, perhaps - the true, remnant church will be raptured out of the world, to be with the Lord forever. That will see world events set on fast forward, with the focus on finance and  Israel. Remember, the rapture could happen before you finish reading this article. It's wake up time!

We have been warned. You have been warned. Now let’s warn the world.

JOEL ROSENBERG'S BRIEF YEAR END ANALYSIS OF THE MIDDLE EAST SITUATION.

Final Brief Year End Analysis of the Middle East situation by America's Renown Prophecy Expert Joel Rosenberg.  

1.      The geopolitical climate in the epicentre deteriorated significantly in 2011, as has religious freedom in most of the Arab and Persian world.

• All evidence indicates that Iran is closer than ever to building nuclear weapons, while also building up its missile forces and the missile forces of its allies such as Hezbollah and Hamas.
• The Iranian regime is signaling that the Arab revolutions point to the imminent arrival of the Twelfth Imam and the destruction of Israel.
• The Iranian regime is cracking down ferociously on the house church networks there.
• The Muslim Brotherhood’s cynically named “Freedom and Justice Party” dominated the first round of Egyptian parliamentary elections — together with the radical, Salafist “Al-Nour” party, the hardline Islamists have captured more than 60% of the vote….Israelis expect Egyptian relations with them to sour and Egyptian Christians expect persecution to intensify.
• Libya now appears to be in the hands of Radical Muslims imposing Sharia law – the situation could end up being worse there than under Gadhafi.
• Syria’s bloodthirsty regime has killed more than 3,500 of its own citizens this year and the openness that existed to spread the Gospel has evaporated — the regime deserves to be overthrown.
• Iraq is requiring all U.S. military forces to leave by the end of 2011.
• With Iraqi Christians are increasingly under attack – including a direct attack inside a church in Baghdad in October 2010, a deadly series of attacks on churches in April 2011 at Easter, and a car bombing directly in front of a church in Baghdad in August 2011 — thousands of born-again believers and nominal Christians have received visas to leave Iraq on the basis of religious persecution.
• The Palestinian leadership has made peace with Hamas rather than Israel, and is trying to build an international coalition at the U.N. to allow them to unilaterally declare a Palestinian state without directly negotiating with Israel.
• Russia will become an increasingly important factor in the epicenter in 2012 as Vladimir Putin runs for president again next March – if Putin wins, we should expect the Kremlin to aggressively deepen alliances with Israel’s enemies. [Update: Putin shaken by United Russia's poor election performance; party formed by Vladimir Putin sees support drop by 15% in result seen as test of prime minister's personal popularity; also: Mikhail Gorbachev calls for a new vote in Russia over allegations of voter fraud.]

 2.     As 2011 ends, the prospect of a major war in the epicenter in 2012 is significantly rising.

• Recently, I spoke with a Member of Congress who met personally with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other senior Israeli leaders just before Thanksgiving – he reported that the Israeli leaders weren’t asking for help; they all seem resigned to the prospect that Israel will have to take action on their own, and probably sooner than later.
• Netanyahu and Defense Minister Ehud Barak are clearly laying the political groundwork inside Israel to launch preemptive strikes if the world doesn’t take decisive action first.
• The leaks out of Jerusalem about the Netanyahu Cabinet actively discussing a preemptive strike don’t appear to be planned – but they appear to be accurate.
• In early November, the Israeli Air Force launched another major exercise to practice long range bombing runs – previously the exercise had taken IAF fighter jets to Greece; this time they flew to Italy.
• The former Mossad chief Meir Dagan is warning Israel not to launch a war that he says would be a “catastrophe.”
• Barak is reported to believe Israel has a window of no more than one year to stop Iran from getting the Bomb.
• The Obama administration is publicly pressuring Israel not to consider preemptive strikes, based on the notion that they fear Israel is preparing for such strikes.
• The French, British and Canadians recently imposed new economic sanctions against Iran’s Central Bank in attempt to force the Iranian regime to the negotiating table and to forestall an Israeli first strike; the Obama administration, however, refused to sanction Iran’s Central Bank.

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE MANAGEMENT OF REVELATION TV.

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE MANAGEMENT OF REVELATION TELEVISION.

Dearest Brothers in Christ,

The work of Revelation Television has been a great blessing to many believers in the Lord Jesus and has reached out to those who do not yet know Him with compassion and sincerity. My own family and friends have benefited from your work and my appearances with Bob Mitchell have been a real blessing to me. I was looking forward to further programmes with Bob, and also with Dr Richard Kent in the 2012, but sadly I cannot continue to use your excellent facilities to proclaim the End-Times truths so relevant to our World today. Why? Please will you examine my deep concerns outlined below.

I was uncomfortable with the fact that airtime was being made available to the Seventh Day Adventist Church which I do not consider to be part of mainstream Biblical Christianity but, as I knew that there are true believers within it, I said and did nothing. I was probably wrong and should have spoken out. But when I learned  that Rev. Jesse Duplantis was to appear on your station, that was a few steps too far and I have to distance my ministry from you.

I have three believing daughters married to christian husbands in the USA so my visits to America have been frequent over the last two decades. My children have thought it amusing to show me TV programmes of various unbiblical and extra-biblical preachers including Mr Duplantis. I have been horrified at the deceptive heretical teaching and worldly presentation of his programmes.

Part of the message which I regularly teach, that of the imminent return of the Lord Jesus, is to warn of deceivers and those who will introduce false doctrines: " Woe to them! For they have gone in the way of Cain, having run greedily in the error of Balaam for profit and perished in the rebellion of Korah." (Jude 11 NJKV).

I cannot teach this up and down the UK, and elsewhere, and then appear on a TV Station which hosts one of the very individuals that I have been warning about. As a former Intelligence Officer I know that the very best lies are those that are closest to the truth. This means in these "last days" that the deception aimed at believers does not come from weird and obviously heretical cults but from those who look like us but "are not of us". I fear that Mr Duplantis is the thin edge of a very dangeous wedge!

There will be consequences. I plead with you to have a change of heart and turn around, cancelling your arrangements with Mr Duplantis and the Seventh Day Adventists. Revelation Television can stand out at the very least as one Christian TV station that is untainted with the apostacy of the end of the age. It is time for some believer in Christian media to lead, and give leadership over the airwaves, not following the self serving and indulgent spectacles that emanate from the USA. This will bring the blessing, provision and honour of God to the service and life of such a Ministry. May it be yours.

Although I am 61 years old, and been through many adventures with the Lord Jesus over the years, I'm not some kind of boring old fuddy-duddy legalist that cannot move with the times. I seek to be like the sons of Issachar who had understanding of the times (1Chronicles 12:32) and sound an alarm when an enemy approaches, by a full frontal attack or through the subtle infiltration of a "fifth column".

 A Scripture I apply regularly to myself is this:  "Look to yourselves that we do not lose the things we worked for, but that we may receive a full reward. Whoever transgresses and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God. He who abides in the doctrine of Christ has both the Father and the Son.  If anyone comes to you and does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into your house nor greet him: for he who greets him shares in his evil deeds" (2 John 8-11 NKJV).  This is not about our Salvation, we did not work for that, it was a free gift of God's grace, but rather, it is about our service for Him as we travel home, and hope that we will receive our reward for faithfulness to the Truth. May we be found faithful and be given "full wages".

Maranatha, in Jesus,

Brian Gemmell.

I WILL NO LONGER BE APPEARING ON REVELATION TELEVISION.

DEAR FRIENDS,

I WAS DUE TO APPEAR ON REVELATION TELEVISION "SATURDAY LIVE" WITH BOB MITCHELL AT 7.30pm SATURDAY 10th DECEMBER BUT THIS WILL NOT NOW TAKE PLACE.

REVELATION TV ARE GIVING AIRTIME TO A MAN, JESSE DUPLANTIS, WHOM  I CONSIDER TO BE A WOLF IN SHEEPS CLOTHING, A DECEIVER AND A BLASPHEMER. BOB MITCHELL FEELS THE SAME AND HAS SEVERED HIS ASSOCIATION WITH REVELATION TV.

I AM NOT PREPARED TO HAVE MY NAME ASSOCIATED WITH, AND MY SERVICE FOR THE LORD JESUS TARNISHED, BY APPEARING ON  A TV STATION THAT GIVES TIME AND SPACE TO FALSE TEACHING, BE IT DUPLANTIS, THE CHURCH OF ROME, OR SEVENTH DAY ADVENTISTS.

Because we have three daughters in the USA we have visited the States many times over the last two decades and have watched the Duplantis programmes there. We were horrified. In fact our children found it humourous to show us some of these frightful "money preachers" by way of entertainment and to "wind us up"!!!!! We need to be keeping the influence of such ungodliness out of our country not encouraging it with airtime.

The lack of discernment within our national church is heartbreaking.

Yours in the service of the Lord Jesus,

Brian.
