Leonard Ravenhill

The teachings of Leonard Ravenhill and David Wilkerson have greatly influenced my life. I consider both of these men to be spiritual mentors. I highly recommend this audio book about the life and ministry of Leonard Ravenhill.

Faith/ Faithfulness

 

Pursuing the Fruits of the Spirit: Faith/Faithfulness

NOTE: I decided to write this Fruit of the Spirit from 2 angles, faith (part A) and faithfulness (part B).

(Galatians 5:22-23) But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance. 

(Mark 11:23-24) "For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, 'Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea;' and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them."

What are the mountains in your life? Jesus paid the price on the cross to set you free from the evil one. By faith, speak to those mountains and tell them to be gone in Jesus' name! You have the authority by God's Holy Spirit. Faith moves the hand of God on your behalf!

So often people live their lives in fear of what could happen, or they worry about finances, or health problems, however, fear is the opposite of faith. The Lord understands that we are human, and anxiety is common to man, but he desires that we trust him with every aspect of our lives. Fear will empower the enemy in your life. If you live your life in fear, you will never have a breakthrough with God. Fear may even lead to demonic oppression. You must have faith in God that He is able to deliver and heal you to see results.

Fear also hinders many people from pursuing ministry work, because they feel they can’t accomplish the task. If the prophets and apostles had given into fear, we would not have the scriptures to guide us, and Christianity would never have spread beyond Judea.

To be useful for the kingdom of heaven, we must believe that God is bigger and more powerful than our problems or limitations. Moses had a speech problem and argued with God that he was not able to speak to Pharaoh. God commanded Moses to go to Pharaoh and allowed his brother Aaron to speak for him. Moses was chosen from birth to be the deliverer for the captive Hebrews, but he felt inadequate for the task. Fortunately, God did not allow Moses to give in to fear but used him to show forth His power to the entire world. Elijah feared for his life and hid in a cave, but the God of Elijah protected him, and Elijah never saw death because he was taken to heaven in a flaming chariot. The apostle Paul wrote powerful letters, but he did not impress some in person. However, this did not deter Paul from taking the gospel to many lands. Paul understood that he was a vessel for God’s Spirit to work through.

With God, all things are possible; He is looking for humble vessels that he may work through. God is not impressed with your fancy attire, eloquent speech, or theological degrees. God is looking for common people, full of faith, which he may work through. Peter, James, and John were uneducated fishermen; however, Christ chose them to be his Apostles, and to turn the world upside down. If you will put your faith and trust in God, he will use you to minister into the lives of others.

Why do we so often worry about life’s problems? Does not God promise to meet our needs if we seek after him? Does not the Lord feed the birds, and clothe the lilies of the field? If we will replace fear and anxiety, with faith and thankfulness, we will know the peace and provision of the Father. If you live with a defeated attitude, you will not be useful to the kingdom of God. Faith will open the door to many blessings from God, including healings, deliverance, ministry, peace of mind, as well as many answered prayers.

(Hebrews 11:1-10 ) Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a [good] testimony. By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible. By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts; and through it he being dead still speaks. By faith Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death, "and was not found, because God had taken him"; for before he was taken he had this testimony, that he pleased God. But without faith [it is] impossible to please [Him,] for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and [that] He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. By faith Noah, being divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his household, by which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith. By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going. By faith he dwelt in the land of promise as [in] a foreign country, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise; for he waited for the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker [is] God.

(Matthew 6:25-34 ) "Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? "Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? "Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature? "So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; "and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. "Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, [will He] not much more [clothe] you, O you of little faith? "Therefore do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' "For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. "But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day [is] its own trouble.

Pursuing the Fruits of the Spirit: Faith/Faithfulness, Part B

The Lord is always faithful to us even when we are not faithful to Him. One way to show faithfulness to the Lord is obedience. God’s Word states that God desires obedience more than sacrifices. Christ said, that if you love Him, you will keep His commandments.

It is very important to be faithful to your calling in life because the souls of men are at stake. The great commission to spread the gospel to every nation does not apply to missionaries or evangelists only, but to everyone who belongs to Christ. We are ambassadors for the kingdom of God, and it is our responsibility to let our light shine before all. Not only is our life to be an example to all, but we are also to share our faith with others as well. There are people all around us who are on their way to hell, and we may be their only lifeline. Students, co-workers, family, and friends are all people you may share your faith with. I have shared my faith with people in Wal-Mart, as well as on hiking trails. If you pray for divine appointments, God will bring people along your path. Remember the world is watching.

We also need to be faithful to God with our lifestyle. God refers to cold, or lukewarm Christians, as an adulterous bride. Jesus Christ told the church of Laodicea, that because they were lukewarm, He would vomit them out of his mouth (Revelation 3:14-22).  You cannot have one foot in Christianity and the other in the world, the compromise of your faith will lead to spiritual death. Any tree, which does not bring forth good fruit, will be cut off and thrown into the fire, for without holiness no man shall see the father. 

(Hebrews 12:14) Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord.  

(2 Corinthians 7:1) Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

(1 Timothy 1:12) And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that He counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry.

2026 Calendar Identical to the 1914 Calendar

 

A quirk of the Gregorian calendar has drawn the attention of historians and amateur chronologists alike: the 2026 calendar is an exact replica of 1914, the year the world was plunged into its first great war. After a 112-year cycle, every single date falls on the same day of the week. History repeats itself. We have war in the middle east and Trump says Cuba is next. Trump is still threating to take Greenland as well.

The Legacy of Netanyahu

(The Legacy of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu)

If these pictures of the death and starvation of Gazan children don't disturb you then you are not human. Netanyahu is a blood thirsty, hate filled, man of war, and he should be held accountable for his war crimes against humanity.

 Donald Trump is the Little Horn of Daniel, as well as the Beast of Revelation, he is the Antichrist. I also believe that Netanyahu is an antichrist. The nation of Israel does not know God because they have rejected the Son of God and the atonement that he provided upon the cross. Many believe that Netanyahu is led by the Holy Spirit in the decisions that he makes. However, you must be saved in Christ alone to have a relationship with God.

I don't support Netanyahu, nor many of the actions of his government. The October 7th attack on Israel was very brutal and savage. I shed tears for the atrocities committed by Hamas. However, there have been war crimes against humanity committed by both sides in this war. The siege placed upon Gaza that resulted in the starvation of many was deplorable and wicked. The constant bombardment reducing Gaza to rubble, resulting in the deaths of many innocents was comparable to the war crimes of Nazi Germany.

Donald Trump is worshipped by many in Israel, but the true Messiah Jesus has been rejected by Israel. Anyone, or nation, that rejects Jesus Christ is an antichrist. The Apostle Paul referred to Jews who reject Christ as the synagogue of Satan.

I was told by a Jewish Rabbi that Israel is the only nation on earth where you must sign a paper that you are not a Christian, nor a follower of Jesus/Yeshua, to be granted citizenship. I checked out his claim and found it to be true. Christians who pray at the wailing wall have been spit upon by Jews and others have had their vehicles vandalized for their faith in Christ.

I love the nation of Israel, and I pray for her salvation and protection. I believe that God has restored the Jewish people to their ancestorial homeland in hope that a remnant will be saved. I believe that when Christ returns and splits the Mount of Olives, many from Israel will mourn over the one whom they have pierced and will flee to him for salvation. Israel will worship the Beast for a period of time, then a remnant will be saved by Christ upon his return (Zechariah 14:3-9).

US and Israel attack Iran

 

Who will mourn for the over 100 elementary school girls killed by a missile attack on Iran today? The Beast (Donald J. Trump) is rising to world power with the respect of many nations. Don't be deceived, this Messiah of Israel is the Antichrist. He is all about power and control. Trump has a taste for war and has just begun. The rider on the white horse is here and he is conquering.

David Wilkerson Video

 

David Wilkerson exposes the terrifying truth about satanic seduction in the last days.

Hell has opened its mouth to release hordes of seducing spirits that hunt believers by offering doctrines to justify sin.

Those wholly satisfied with Jesus won't take the bait.

Bless me or bless the Father

 

(Bless me or bless the Father?) 

Many Christians have been taught that God desires to bless his children with wealth, healing, as well as power. Although it is true that God desires to bless those who are faithful to Him, our heavenly Father does not want to spoil us. Many people pray bless me, bless me, but never consider how they may bless God. We should not seek after earthly riches, but heavenly riches.

 

 Many of the television evangelists and mega-church leaders live in mansions, drive luxury cars, and steal millions of dollars from their supporters. I have shared my faith with many people on the streets, in stores, as well as churches. The majority of unbelievers that I have spoken with bring up the lavish lifestyle of tv preachers. They claim that Christianity is all about greed, and they want no part of it. I sadly agree with them that the apostate religious leaders on tv represent greed, and not God. The preachers of the prosperity gospel are shutting people out of the kingdom of heaven. The world is repulsed by the riches that they heap upon themselves, as well as their weird hairdos, makeup, and the thrones that they sit upon. If the world can see through their deception, why are many in the church blind to it?

 

 The false prophets on tv tell people to give a thousand dollars, or more, and God will bless them with riches also. They tell people with large credit card debt to send them a large offering, by putting more debt upon their card and God will bless them. Christians need to learn how to bless God, as well as others, and to walk in humility. God desires for his children to have a servant’s heart, not to seek after power, position, or wealth.  

 

God’s Word teaches us that the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. God’s Word tells us to lay up treasure in heaven, not the earth. However, God does choose to bless some with wealth, so that they may benefit others, as well as his true ministry. Job, David, Solomon, Hezekiah, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, are examples of those blessed for their faithfulness to God. If you have been blessed monetarily in this life, God expects you to share what you have with those in need. If you neglect to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, visit the sick and prisoner, God will say to you on that day, depart from me you worker of iniquity, I never knew you.

 

When we give a cup of cold water, or food, to those in need, we bless the Lord. When we are obedient to the Lord and love one another, we also bless the Lord. If you want to bless the Lord, share your faith with others, and more importantly, live your faith by meeting their needs. If the church was willing to, it could wipe out hunger in the world, instead of supporting dead ministries.

 

The early Apostles were not rich in earthly terms, but were rich in spirit and deed. They did not live in palaces, or have fine things. They were often hungry, destitute, as well as persecuted; however, they learned the secret of being content in all things. We should follow their example, and seek first the Kingdom of God. Please consider the scriptures listed below.

Psalms 103: 1 A Psalm of David.

Bless the Lord, O my soul; 

And all that is within me, bless His holy name!

2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, 

And forget not all His benefits:

3 Who forgives all your iniquities,

Who heals all your diseases,

4 Who redeems your life from destruction,

Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,

5 Who satisfies your mouth with good things,

So that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.

 

1 Timothy 6:6 Now godliness with contentment is great gain.  7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.  8 And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content.  9 But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition.  10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

 

Matt 6:24 “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon (money).

 

 Matt 19:21 Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.” 22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.

Matt 19:23 Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Assuredly, I say to you that it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.  24 And again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”

 

James 5:1 Come now, you rich, weep and howl for your miseries that are coming upon you!  2 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are moth-eaten.  3 Your gold and silver are corroded, and their corrosion will be a witness against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have heaped up treasure in the last days.  4 Indeed the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, cry out; and the cries of the reapers have reached the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth.  5 You have lived on the earth in pleasure and luxury; you have fattened your hearts as in a day of slaughter.

 

 

 

 

Visions and Dreams of the Father and the Afterlife.

 

Visions and Dreams of the Father and the Afterlife.

Father God has visited me in around a dozen dreams. Each dream contained a personal message about my future. God the Father is Spirit, and light, and does not necessarily have a bodily form. However, he appeared to me in the form of a very kind older man. Jesus is the bodily form of God who sits upon the throne in Heaven. In a dream, I saw Christ upon the throne seated on the right side of a great light (The Father).

In a dream, the Father approached me to remind me of his protection. I looked up into his eyes and saw love, compassion, kindness, and tenderness. He kissed me on the forehead as the dream ended. He has kissed me on the forehead in two dreams now.

Around twenty-one years ago I had a very profound experience. I was in a hotel room going to bed for the night and saying my prayers, when I felt like my spirit was pulled upward towards the ceiling of the room. I passed through the ceiling and was enveloped in a soft, but bright, white light. I was floating on my back within this light. The Father spoke to me about the apostasy within Christianity. He sounded very sad as he was describing the leaders who were wolves in sheep's clothing. He told me that he was calling me to expose them and warn his children to not listen to them. The Father named some prominent television evangelists and told me that they were not of his Spirit. The Father was very kind, and I felt embraced in perfect love. I felt secure, like a babe in a parent's arms. This experience lasted for five to six hours, and much was conveyed. Whether I was in my body experiencing a vision, or out of the body, I do not know.

Shortly after the death of my first wife, I had a dream of Paradise. I saw her standing on a cliff looking out onto a beautiful sea, smooth as glass. The sky was radiant bright colors. I looked to my right and saw my father who died when I was eleven years old. He looked like he was around twenty years old. I saw other loved ones who had passed on, and everyone was clothed in white robes and looked to be around twenty. I saw a large amphitheater made of white stone. It seemed like people were gathered there for some unknown reason.

In another dream, I was standing in Heaven, and I saw very bright, lush, green grass full of flowers of all types. I could hear angels playing harps and singing praises to God above me. I could not see them, only hear their gentle voices. The angels were singing, “holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come”. I then woke up from this experience wishing that I could remain in this place forever. I understood in the vision that this was the abode of the departed spirits, awaiting their resurrection.

This is an interesting video that I recommend watching. However, I don't approve of all of the guests interviewed by the 100 Huntley program.

Trump, Netanyahu, and the Third Temple

 

Trump, Netanyahu, and the Third Temple

Some prominent Jews in Israel have asked Trump to build a third Temple. Some consider him to be the Messiah of Israel and others the return of Cyrus the Great. Donald Trump is worshipped by many in Israel, but the true Messiah Jesus has been rejected by Israel. Anyone, or nation, that rejects Jesus Christ is an antichrist. The Apostle Paul referred to Jews who reject Christ as the synagogue of Satan.

 I was told by a Jewish Rabbi that Israel is the only nation on earth where you must sign a paper that you are not a Christian, nor a follower of Jesus/Yeshua, to be granted citizenship. I checked out his claim and found it to be true. Christians who pray at the wailing wall have been spit upon by Jews and others have had their vehicles vandalized for their faith in Christ. 

I love the nation of Israel, and I pray for her salvation and protection. I believe that God has restored the Jewish people to their ancestorial homeland in hope that a remnant will be saved. I believe that when Christ returns and splits the Mount of Olives, many from Israel will mourn over the one whom they have pierced and will flee to him for salvation. Israel will worship the Beast for a period of time, then a remnant will be saved by Christ upon his return.

(Zechariah 14:3-9) Then shall the Lord go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south. And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the Lord my God shall come, and all the saints with thee. And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark: But it shall be one day which shall be known to the Lord, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light. And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be. And the Lord shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one Lord, and his name one.

Donald Trump is the Little Horn of Daniel, as well as the Beast of Revelation, he is the Antichrist. I also believe that Netanyahu is an antichrist. The nation of Israel does not know God because they have rejected the Son of God and the atonement that he provided upon the cross. Many believe that Netanyahu is led by the Holy Spirit in the decisions that he makes. However, you must be saved in Christ alone to have a relationship with God.

However, there have been war crimes against humanity committed by both sides in this war. The siege placed upon Gaza that resulted in the starvation of many was deplorable and wicked. The constant bombardment reducing Gaza to rubble, resulting in the deaths of many innocents was comparable to the war crimes of Nazi Germany. 

 Those who are filled with the Holy Spirit are the Temple of God. God dwells within us and not in a man-made structure. Jesus was the final sacrifice for sin to end the need for any future sacrifice. However, I believe that Israel will build a third Temple, but God will not inhabit it, nor approve of it. If this Temple is not destroyed in war, then most likely it will be destroyed by Christ when he returns. This temple will be an antichrist abomination.

Inaugural meeting of the Board of Peace Today

 

Here is a video put out by the White House endorsing Trump's Board of Peace. This is Bible prophecy in the making. Antichrist Trump will make a covenant with the many. Very shortly we will be entering the seven-year tribulation period if it hasn't already begun.

Link to Facebook video: Facebook

Excerpt from article: World leaders are gathering in Washington DC today (Thursday) for the inaugural meeting of the Board of Peace established by US President Donald Trump, which is being attended by representatives from 48 nations.

White House deputy press secretary Anna Kelly stated: "President Trump is proud to welcome representatives from over 40 nations to the Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace on Thursday for a big announcement on Board of Peace actions to establish an enduring peace in the Middle East."

Trump is Building Massive Concentration Camps.

 I'm not familiar with the speaker, however this is an informative and thought-provoking video. Do you really believe that our government is spending tens of billions of dollars on additional ICE facilities to temporarily house illegal migrants for our safety and security?

These concentration camps are being built to house all who oppose Trump. There are already legal citizens being detained for months in these gulags.

Parallels Between the United States and Rome/Babylon

 

There are many parallels between the United States and ancient Rome, as well as Babylon. On our money it says, E. Pluribus Unum which is an ancient Roman phrase that is translated, "Out of the many one". Rome, Babylon, and the United States, were and are a melting pot of many peoples and nations. Our federal government is based off of the old Roman system. The House and Senate, our judicial system, as well as our Republic is patterned after ancient Rome. Many of the buildings in Washington DC are of Greco/Roman architecture. 

I believe that Mystery Babylon, described in Rev 18 is a dual prophecy. In the physical sense, it is a reference to the modern Rome/Babylon of the end time (USA). It is also a reference to spiritual Babylon, (Roman Catholic Church and her offspring, apostate Christianity).

Rev 18:8 And she will be utterly burned with fire, for strong is the Lord God who judges her. 9 "The kings of the earth who committed fornication and lived luxuriously with her will weep and lament for her, when they see the smoke of her burning, 10 standing at a distance for fear of her torment, saying, 'Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! For in one hour your judgment has come.'

It is obvious that the city of Babylon no longer exists, neither does the Roman Empire. However, the modern Babylon of the end times is described as a very rich nation that does commerce with many nations, as well as compared to the most powerful nation on the earth of ancient times Babylon. The United States will be utterly burned with fire, for her judgment will come in one hour (Rev 18:8-10). The entire United States will be destroyed by nuclear bombs in one hour.

Rev 12 states that God will protect many of his children and keep them out of the Great Tribulation in remote wilderness locations. The Lord Jesus will return immediately AFTER the Tribulation and rapture his elect from the four winds of heaven (Every nation on earth). 

Rev 18: 1 After these things I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority, and the earth was illuminated with his glory. 2 And he cried mightily with a loud voice, saying, "Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and has become a dwelling place of demons, a prison for every foul spirit, and a cage for every unclean and hated bird! 3 For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance of her luxury." 4 And I heard another voice from heaven saying, "Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues. 5 For her sins have reached to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities. 6 Render to her just as she rendered to you, and repay her double according to her works; in the cup which she has mixed, mix double for her. 7 In the measure that she glorified herself and lived luxuriously, in the same measure give her torment and sorrow; for she says in her heart, 'I sit as queen, and am no widow, and will not see sorrow.'  Therefore her plagues will come in one day--death and mourning and famine.

 8 And she will be utterly burned with fire, for strong is the Lord God who judges her. 9 "The kings of the earth who committed fornication and lived luxuriously with her will weep and lament for her, when they see the smoke of her burning, 10 standing at a distance for fear of her torment, saying, 'Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! For in one hour your judgment has come.' 11 And the merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her, for no one buys their merchandise anymore: 12 merchandise of gold and silver, precious stones and pearls, fine linen and purple, silk and scarlet, every kind of citron wood, every kind of object of ivory, every kind of object of most precious wood, bronze, iron, and marble; 13 and cinnamon and incense, fragrant oil and frankincense, wine and oil, fine flour and wheat, cattle and sheep, horses and chariots, and bodies and souls of men. 14 The fruit that your soul longed for has gone from you, and all the things which are rich and splendid have gone from you, and you shall find them no more at all. 15 The merchants of these things, who became rich by her, will stand at a distance for fear of her torment, weeping and wailing, 16 and saying, 'Alas, alas, that great city that was clothed in fine linen, purple, and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls! 17 For in one hour such great riches came to nothing.' Every shipmaster, all who travel by ship, sailors, and as many as trade on the sea, stood at a distance 18 and cried out when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, 'What is like this great city?'

19 They threw dust on their heads and cried out, weeping and wailing, and saying, 'Alas, alas, that great city, in which all who had ships on the sea became rich by her wealth! For in one hour she is made desolate.' 20 Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you holy apostles and prophets, for God has avenged you on her!" 21 Then a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying, "Thus with violence the great city Babylon shall be thrown down, and shall not be found anymore. 22 The sound of harpists, musicians, flutists, and trumpeters shall not be heard in you anymore. No craftsman of any craft shall be found in you anymore, and the sound of a millstone shall not be heard in you anymore. 23 The light of a lamp shall not shine in you anymore, and the voice of bridegroom and bride shall not be heard in you anymore. For your merchants were the great men of the earth, for by your sorcery all the nations were deceived. 24 And in her was found the blood of prophets and saints, and of all who were slain on the earth."      

Messiah Trump and the Third Temple

 

Jesus Christ was the final sacrifice for the sins of the world. The nation of Israel doesn't know God because they have rejected the Son of God and the atonement that he provided upon the cross. However, they are going to build a third temple according to scripture. Many in Israel believe that Trump will build this temple. Some believe that he is the return of Cyrus the Great, the Messiah.
