IDF chief issues stern warning to Assad over rapidly heating border

End Of Days News

Damascus will ‘bear consequences’ of further gunfire, says Gantz, after cross-border shooting; tensions ‘several times more explosive than they were this morning,’ says top Israeli analyst

Israel’s military chief issued a severe warning to Bashar Assad on Tuesday, saying the Syrian leader would “bear the consequences” of any more attacks on Israeli forces near the Syrian border.

Lt. Gen. Benny Gantz issued his threat hours after an Israeli jeep came under fire during a patrol in the Israeli-controlled Golan Heights.

Syria claimed it destroyed an Israeli vehicle that crossed the ceasefire line in the Golan Heights overnight. A statement issued by the Syrian Armed Forces said its troops destroyed the vehicle “with those in it.” It did not elaborate, but said any attempt to infiltrate Syria’s territory will face “immediate and firm retaliation.”

Israeli home defense drill to focus on missile and chemical threats 

DEBKAfile May 21, 2013, 6:05 PM (GMT+02:00)

Home Defense Minister Gilead Erdan disclosed Tuesday that the annual “Steadfast Home Front – 1” exercise starting next Sunday will postulate equal risks to the military and home fronts. He said this eventuality was only now a question of time.

Addressing a news conference, the minister said the exercise would stage scenarios of large population centers and strategic facilities under attack from thousands of missiles from Syria, Lebanon and the Gaza Strip. Chemical strikes will also be rehearsed. Maj.Gen. Eyal Eisenberg, head of the IDF Home Front Command, said a chemical strike would challenge the IDF’s command and control capacity. The IDF is keeping a close watch on events in Syria from the northern border, he said. “We wouldn’t be practicing a massive missile war scenario unless we believed the enemy had the operational capability to attack Israel’s civilian population.

Bible Verses About Gods Wrath

End Of Days News

2 Timothy 3:16 - All scripture [is] given by inspiration of God, and [is] profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

I do not follow words of men or believe what I am told by a preacher in the pulpit, the Bible means what it says and the Holy Spirit says what it means...I try to talk to folks about it and the responses take my breath away! This is not my opinion, this is not a "religion", and it's not my theory!!! READ THE BIBLE! God's wrath is a fact and being poured out upon the earth! Blessed be the children who are now with the Father from Oklahoma! This is another harbinger people!!!! REPENT AND TURN FROM YOUR WICKED WAYS!  God does not care "HOW" you see it! Mans wisdom to God is vanity...LOOK IT UP! When you start living in the wisdom of God these calamities will be seen for TRUTH! You have little time left, and I pray for the lost sheep everyday, but you have to make the choice to stop fornicating with the world and be 100% faithful to God! EVEN THROUGH THE HARD THINGS YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND! You ask where is God? THAT'S RIGHT, my question to you is where is God, he is in MY HEART!

Is he in yours? Not the pretend God the prosperity preachers tell you about, but the one whom disciplines his children??? He is screaming for you to repent...!!!! 

Acts 3:19 - Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;

Acts 17:30 - And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:

John 3:36 - He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

 Revelation 21:7-8 - He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.⁸ But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

Jude 1:7 - Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.

Jude 1:4 - For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

2 Peter 3:9 - The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

What If I Missed the Rapture can I still be saved???

End Of Days News

Can I still be saved

One of the most frequently asked questions in regard to the Tribulation time period is whether or not anyone will come to a saving faith in Jesus Christ during that difficult time. We already know that 144,000 people from the various tribes of Israel will be set apart for the Lord, but they will not be alone! God will call to himself a countless number of believers in Jesus “from every nation and all tribes and peoples and tongues” (Revelation 7:9). However, in contrast to the protected number of Hebrew believers in 7:1-8, these gentile believers will suffer persecution and martyrdom. In fact, when John’s vision of the great multitude opened, these believers were already pictured in heaven, having suffered physical death at the hands of God’s enemies.

Those who come to believe during the Great Tribulation will be in one of two groups. The first group will be the remnant of physical Israel sealed for protection and called to testify concerning Christ (Revelation 7:1-8). The second group will comprised of the masses of gentiles who believe in Christ and suffer persecution and martyrdom for their faith. These martyrs will come out of the Great Tribulation through death, but their suffering will instantly give way to victorious worship as they join the heavenly chorus in praise to “our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb” (Revelation 7:10)

As we’ve stated more in depth on this web site, “The Rapture of The Church” is the calling up of God’s people who have accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior into Heaven.  The scriptures in 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17 describe The Rapture.

15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.

16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

One will not have to wonder if The Rapture has happened, so don’t be deceived! Millions and millions of people will have left the Earth in the blink of an eye as written in 1 Corinthians 15: 51-52…

51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,

52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

One moment Christians are here working, going to school, driving cars, flying in airplanes, making dinner and the next second, they are in Heaven with Jesus. The people left behind on the Earth will experience chaos like has never been seen before.  Everyday life will never be the same again.

Besides the chaos caused by millions of Christians leaving the world at once, unfortunately it gets even worse. The Antichrist will be imposing his will over those left behind and at the same time God’s judgments will be pouring out onto the Earth. During these tribulations, the Bible states that one half of the remaining population will die due to disease, famine, war and directly because of failing to follow the Antichrist and his one world religion, government and financial system.

Thankfully, there is still hope for those people who miss The Rapture. In fact, it’s the same hope God gave to the people of his world thousands of years ago – his son, Jesus Christ. Even though the next several years will be unbelievably tough, all one has to do is to sincerely and with all of your heart, accept Jesus as your savior. In doing so, you become a Tribulation Saint and will ultimately be rewarded with eternal life with our Heavenly Father.

THE Church of Scotland has taken a historic step by voting in favour of allowing openly gay men and women to become ministers.

End Of Days News

THE Church of Scotland has taken a historic step by voting in favour of allowing openly gay men and women to become ministers.

Following an impassioned debate lasting almost six hours, its General Assembly voted to affirm its “current doctrine and practice in relation to human sexuality”, which stops gay people becoming ministers.

However, under a compromise hammered out during the debate, liberal congregations will be able to opt out of that and appoint gay clergy if they wish.

Over the course of the next year, a legal framework will be developed to accommodate the proposals, which will then be ratified by presbyteries, before finally being rubber-stamped by the General Assembly in 2015.

Senior Church officials described it as a “step-change” for the Kirk that would ensure unity.

The Right Rev Lorna Hood, Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, said: “This is a massive vote for the peace and unity of the Church.”

But evangelicals warned of a “betrayal” of biblical truth that would force members to leave, while the Free Church of Scotland described the decision as “totally confusing”.

The ordination of ministers in same-sex relationships has

divided the Kirk since traditionalist members attempted to block the appointment of Scott Rennie, who is gay, in 2009.

The Assembly voted in support of Aberdeen-based Mr Rennie, but introduced an interim ban on ordaining other gay ministers until a special commission had studied the matter.

So far, two congregations have left the Kirk over the issue – St George’s Tron Church in Glasgow and Gilcomston South Church in Aberdeen.

Yesterday’s decision was as the result of an 11th-hour intervention by former moderator Albert Bogle, who stood down from the role on Saturday. Until he spoke, three options had been on the table.

The revisionist position promoted a “mixed economy”, in which openly gay ministers who were in civil partnerships could be ordained, but with a conscience clause for those who wished not to do so.

The traditionalists’ position would not have allowed any new appointments, but it offered legal protection from discipline to any openly gay ministers appointed before 2009.

Yaalon: We destroyed Syrian Golan position. Damascus: We fired on Israeli patrol

End Of Days News

Syria and Israel crossed verbal swords Tuesday, May 21, after an overnight exchange of fire on the Golan.

When the Damascus government claimed responsibility for the gunfire on an Israeli Golan patrol Monday night and threatened to strike back for any Israeli reprisals, Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon shot back by saying: “Our policy is clear – we don’t interfere in Syria’s civil war, but neither will we let the fire spill over onto our territory. Last night,” he added, “we destroyed a Syrian army position on the Golan which fired at an IDF patrol.”

He spoke during a tour of naval facilities in Atlit and Haifa.

On a visit to the Golan, IDF chief of staff Lt. Benny Gantz and OC Northern Command Yair Golan ordered Israeli Golan positions to return any fire coming from the Syrian side, a reversal of previous policy.

No one was hurt on the Israeli side. But this time, unlike the two previous incidents, Israeli forces directed a Tamuz rocket at the source of the gunfire and identified a direct hit.

To inflate the episode, the Syrian statement claimed an IDF vehicle damaged in the attack was destroyed.
DEBKAfile’s military sources: Bashar Assad is signaling his readiness for a war on attrition on Israel from the Golan, which our sources predicted was in the works on May 15.

A Syrian-Israeli confrontation loomed closer Tuesday, May 21, with the claim by the Damascus government of responsibility for the gunfire Monday night on an Israeli Golan patrol and threat to strike back at an Israeli target for any Israeli reprisals.
