Prophecy Clock Ticks Forward with Afghanistan…:: By Bill Wilson

Prophecy Clock Ticks Forward with Afghanistan Abandonment 

The Obama-Biden Administration empowered Islam by destabilizing the Middle East through the Arab Spring, the Benghazi debacle, providing Iran with billions in American cash, support of the Muslim Brotherhood, and the list goes on and on.

Enter the Trump administration. Real attempts were made to defeat the Taliban and Islamic State, put radical Islam back in its place, eliminate taxpayer dollars’ support of Palestinian terrorists, elevate Israel, and broker peace among traditional enemies in the Middle East.

All this has been undone by Joe Biden’s reckless abandonment of Afghanistan, and the end-time prophecy clock moves forward as Turkey, Iran, Russia, and China waste no time filling the vacuum.

A high-ranking Turkish official told the Middle East Eye that the Turkish military presence in Kabul would be important for Turkish interests in the years ahead, particularly as Turkey is interested in the trade opportunities that would be associated with the reconstruction of the country.

Meanwhile, Newsweek reports that Iran, Russia, and China say they “seek to ensure stability in Afghanistan and its periphery while securing their own interests, as friendly ties with Kabul are tested by a desire to engage with the powerful Taliban movement that has retaken much of the country.”

The Chinese Foreign Ministry’s Hua Chunying told reporters on August 16, “The Taliban have repeatedly expressed their hope to develop good relations with China, and that they look forward to China’s participation in the reconstruction and development of Afghanistan.”

Among the mix of these nations arises a new terrorist threat for the US and Israel. As early as Sunday, August 15, US officials were reassessing the terror threat resulting from the Biden retreat. Axios reported Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley told senators that a previous assessment of how soon terrorist groups will likely reconstitute in Afghanistan will speed up.

Congressman John Katko (R-NY), the top Republican on the House Committee on Homeland Security, told the New York Post, “And because we are going back to our pre-9/11 footing, Afghanistan is going to provide a breeding ground once again for terrorists, and that has profound implications for the homeland.”

Coupled with the Biden Administration’s open borders policy, Katko warned of a heightened risk of terrorist attacks on American soil.

In addition to endangering Americans, Biden has emboldened the very end-time nations identified in the Bible, perhaps even more than Obama did during his two terms.

In Ezekiel 38:3-8, the Lord says, “Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal: and I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army… Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them… against the mountains of Israel…”

These areas mentioned in the verses of Ezekiel 38 coincide with modern Turkey, Iran, Sudan, Libya, and parts of Iraq, even Saudi Arabia.

Biden is following in the footsteps of Obama and is moving the prophecy clock forward even faster.

Watch and discern.

Not A Great Escape Story :: By Edwin Tan

“Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth” (2 Timothy 2:15).

The key word in the above passage of Scripture is approved. It is the very essence of our Blessed Hope. We are accorded such a unique status primarily because of His grace and mercy, which we wholeheartedly embrace. This is clearly unlike those who reason otherwise and instead rely on their frail human faculties, which stem from the fallen nature.

It is really not much of a big thing when we are labeled escapists by individuals who do not understand or, for that matter, shut their ears to another point of view. None of us fit the flimsy notion of a pack of people running scared and huddled in some corner, waiting to be extracted to safety. Far from it!

To be a worthy worker of righteousness, nothing can ever be close to a slice of apple pie – more than ever in the days we live in. Challenges grow more pressurizing, as lawlessness shows no indication of abatement – especially so in the face of rampant apostasy. Standing firmly and unashamed of nothing but the truth risks rejection amidst rants of disapproval if not outright condemnation. At the point of writing, such a stance has indeed marginalized those who truly stick to unadulterated Holy Writ!

In the face of all the trials and testings, a refined people are being prepared to do His work in the millennial kingdom. That is why the Rapture must take place before the Tribulation, as the selection process is made complete!

Take heart, brothers and sisters in Jesus! As we witness the very things that will shape the post-Rapture period preceding Jacob’s Trouble, the finishing line is in plain sight. Loads of pressure have been soaked up by the remnant Church for the greater part of the year. The Master is pleased with His servants. Will He let all that hard work end up as damaged goods? Only the enemy can spin such a lie.

“My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing” (James 1:2-4).

The truth of the matter is about our assignments just beginning to blossom. Once we shrug off the fallen nature and are adorned with a new body, we will be guided to our true eternal destiny. A glorious moment beyond our imagination, which will only require a split second!

“Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful” (Hebrews 10:23).

“Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth” (Revelation 3:10).
