I was honored to speak at a prophecy conference this past week, and I want to begin with some interesting things that came from other speakers.

One: One speaker showed two or three commercials that are being shown on Israeli TV.

A speaker in one commercial said this is the generation that will rebuild the Temple, and a speaker in another commercial urged the Israeli people to support the efforts to rebuild the Temple.

Think about it: When asked about the signs of His Coming, Jesus revealed that the Antichrist will defile the Temple. Later, Paul said the Antichrist will sit in the Temple showing himself that he is God (Matt. 24:15; II Thess. 2:3-4); and today, there are commercials on Israeli TV urging our generation to rebuild the Temple.

Two: We were told that some of the Jewish rabbis have reminded Pres. Trump that many U.S. Presidents have been concerned about their legacy.

These rabbis said the greatest thing that Pres. Trump can do to establish his legacy is to make it possible for Israel to rebuild the Temple.

Three: It is common knowledge that the Temple Institute has rebuilt all of the clothing, music instruments, etc., for use at the Temple, but they have not rebuilt the Ark of the Covenant.

They haven’t rebuilt it because they say they know where it is.

Four: The Jews have made a replica of the tabernacle; and if they can get government approval, they are ready to start the animal sacrifices on the Temple Mount with or without the Ashes of the first nine Red Heifers.

Five: Know that the Second Coming is not the end of the world; it is the end of human government and the beginning of the reign of the King, Jesus.

If you are discouraged or disgusted by what is going on in our government today, understand that God knows all about it; and that is one reason why He intends to bring human government to an end.

Six: Moving from the prophecy conference to current events, the Bible teaches that there will be a departing from the faith at the end of the Church Age.

It has been announced that the United Methodist Church (UMC) will meet in May of 2020 to discuss an orderly and amicable split in the denomination.

The Bible is clear on gay issues, but a rejection by many leaders and members of what the Bible says about this is splitting that once great denomination.

Seven: Recall that in May of this year, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and Florida Emergency Management Director Jared Moskowitz visited Israel and the Wailing Wall where both men inserted a prayer that no hurricanes would strike Florida this year.

Hurricane Dorian headed toward Florida, but turned aside; Hurricane Humberto headed toward Florida, but turned aside; Hurricane Lorenzo, the most powerful hurricane ever this far out in the Atlantic, is headed toward the U.S., but is projected to turn aside (perhaps we really need to repent of our sins and pray).

Eight: The Antichrist and False Prophet will need surveillance equipment to track all buying and selling during the Tribulation Period.

On Sept. 19, 2019, it was reported that the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace said at least 75 countries are actively using artificial intelligence (AI) tools such as facial recognition for surveillance.

Nine: On Sept. 22, 2019, Pres. Trump’s Special Envoy to the Middle East, Jason Greenblatt, was in Israel to discuss Pres. Trump’s Peace proposal.

Mr. Greenblatt said the election turmoil in Israel has fundamentally changed things on the ground, so the publication of Pres. Trump’s Deal of the Century will be significantly delayed.

I would love to hear Pres. Trump say it is permanently delayed and the U.S. will throw its full support behind Israel (that would be great for his legacy).

Ten: On Sept. 21, 2019, it was reported that Syria has sent tanks, vehicles, troops, ammunition, and heavy weapons to areas near her border with Israel on the Golan Heights for unspecified reasons.

At some point, war will break out, and God told us how it will end (Isa. 17:1-3, 14).

Eleven: Concerning Iran’s use of missiles to attack Saudi Arabia, the U.S., Saudi Arabia, Israel, EU, England, France, Germany and Japan have all said that Iran did it.

It is obvious that Iran is led by a bunch of liars.

Iran’s efforts to move missiles into Syria and Iraq, and Iran’s stepped-up enrichment of nuclear material have prompted an Israeli General to say that Israel is starting to reach the point of war with Iran.

Israel is now debating whether to launch a pre-emptive strike on Iran or wait and retaliate after Iran attacks.

Twelve: The Israeli election has turned into a spiritual war over Israel’s future (God called Israel to follow their Messiah and serve Him, but Satan wants Israel to be a secular or non-religious nation and follow him).

Know that Israel will continue to have a form of godliness (They will rebuild the Temple, offer animal sacrifices, etc.); but Satan will lose, and they will accept Jesus at the end of the Tribulation Period.

Thirteen: When Russia, Iran, Turkey and others attack Israel in the Battle of Gog and Magog, the Bible says they will cover the land like a cloud (Ezek. 38:9).

I have long believed “cover the land like a cloud” refers to planes and helicopters.

On Sept. 26, 2019, it was reported that Russia is expanding its large air base in Syria, adding a second landing strip and building facilities for more aircraft.

Some of those aircraft will be drones, so we can add drones to the list of aircraft.

Fourteen: On Sept. 27, 2019, Turkey’s Pres. Erdogan said Turkey is not afraid of being sanctioned by the U.S., and Turkey will not abide by U.S. sanctions on Iran.

Erdogan said Turkey will not destroy its relationship with Iran.

Turkey is plainly on Iran’s side and lined up for the Battle of Gog and Magog.

Fifteen: Two women in Ft. Collins, Col. sued the city for the right to go topless in public because men can go topless.

According to these women, gender equality means that they should not be required to wear anything above the waist, and a federal judge agreed with them.

Women naked in public from the waist up is now legal in six states (the days of Lot have arrived, and one must wonder if this is coming to every state in the U.S.).

Sixteen: Pope Francis has scheduled a meeting at the Vatican for May 14, 2020, to present a humanistic document (human values, not religious or spiritual values) for the world to abide by.

He clearly wants the UN to use the world’s education systems to push world government and world religion without the input of Christianity.

In co-operation with a prominent Muslim Sheikh, a complex is being built in Abu Dhabi called the Abrahamic Family House.

It will have a Church, a Mosque and a Synagogue or separate places of worship for Christians, Muslims and Jews; and it will have a fourth place for people of all religions to come together as one body (world religion; not the body of Christ).

The purpose is to promote peace, coexistence and brotherhood among all religions.

Finally, Pres. Trump was at the UN this week where he urged the nations to reject globalism; to normalize relations with Israel; he opposed taxpayer-funded abortions as a global human right; he urged world leaders to let their people live by faith and to give glory to God, and more.

It is easy to see why globalists, abortionists and others dislike Pres. Trump so much and why they want him removed from office so badly.

Pray for America, Israel and the world.

I will be away from my computer for a speaking engagement this weekend, so this article is being written early and is lacking some of the very latest news.

First, a second round of elections was held in Israel on Sept. 17, 2019, but they didn’t settle anything.

There are 120 members in the Knesset, and a candidate must have 61 members (more than 50%) on his team to form a government.

The nation is divided, and no one received enough votes to secure 61 members.

Israel’s Pres. Rivlin must now select one of the top vote getters to try to form a 61-member coalition.

It is Rivlin’s job to select the one that he thinks has the best chance to do that.

He has a few days to make the decision, but may speed it up; and it is rumored that he intends to push for a unity government.

As I understand it, Prime Min. Netanyahu has the best chance, but anything can happen, and there will be a lot of horse trading in the next few days.

One man, the former Defense Min. Avigdor Lieberman, seems to be in the driver’s seat.

It looks like he will win eight seats, and that is enough to throw the election to the man of his choice.

He seems ready to do that, but he is making demands.

He wants Israel to allow civil (non-religious) marriages; Israel to provide a public transportation system; Israel to allow businesses to be open on the Sabbath; the Israeli schools to provide a secular education; the Israeli Arabs and the ultra-orthodox Jewish parties to be excluded from the ruling government; religious students forced to serve in the military; the Israeli army to invade Gaza and kill or jail all terrorists, and more.

If Mr. Lieberman gets his way, Israel will be a secular nation (not a religious nation); and the next time a rocket is fired at Israel, the nation may go to war.

This election has turned into a spiritual struggle for the future of Israel, and it could spill over into all-out war.

A unity government would probably ignore many of Mr. Lieberman’s demands.

Mr. Netanyahu, in a unity government, would be an important step toward Israel being a religious nation because the religious parties support him, and he has promised not to form a unity government without all of them.

A unity government could actually turn out to be a good thing for Israel because it would be a stronger government, and there would be less division in the system.

Second, regular readers of these articles will remember that Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and Florida Emergency Management Director Jared Moskowitz visited Israel in May of this year, and they wrote a prayer on a piece of paper and inserted it in a crack in the Wailing Wall.

The prayer of both men was that Florida would not be hit by a hurricane this year.

Hurricane Dorian was bearing down on Florida, but it turned away.

Hurricane Humberto started bearing down on Florida this week, but it turned away.

It is going to be interesting to see if this keeps happening.

Third, for years, some prophecy writers have suggested that world leaders will try to explain away the Rapture by saying Christians were removed by aliens because Christians were standing in the way of world government and world peace.

In mid-Sept. 2019, the U.S. Navy admitted that three videos that were taken by Navy aircraft of UFO’s are real.

According to the U.S. Navy, the videos do show “unexplained aerial phenomena,” but there is no proof that the UFO’s were piloted by aliens.

Fourth, the State of California has passed a resolution calling on pastors to embrace LGBTQ issues, and churches in China’s central province are being forced to replace the Ten Commandments with quotes from Pres. Xi Jinping.

Fifth, Satellites and the Internet are being used to increase knowledge all over the world. Whereas most websites once posted information in one language, they are now posting apps that translate the information into many languages.

This is making it easier to spread the gospel around the world in many languages.
