Wesley Edward Smith died peacefully of natural causes on May 31, 2015 at his residence. His Bible was open to the first chapter of John and his glasses were on. Chances are that he died doing what he loved the most, studying the Word of God. Memorial service arrangements to be announced.

A Small Thing
My daughter, Heidi, recently gave me a book entitled, Complete Jewish Bible. The translator is David H. Stern.
Of course, I have been reading different portions of it. The other day I came across something that was very, very interesting to me, but it doesn't mean much to other people. And you will find out why as you continue reading.
In Joshua 22:34 there is a reference to the word "witness". This word in Hebrew is "Ed". It just so happens that the man who adopted me when I was five years old was "Ed". I did not know his name was in the Bible until just a few days ago. "Ed", in Hebrew, means "a witness".
This information is nice to know . . . . but there is more. Before I was adopted I did not have a middle name. Edward Smith gave me his name as my middle name when the adoption papers were signed, "Edward".
So you understand now why Joshua 22:34 has taken on "extra" meaning for me. And a thank you to David Stern for his translation of this Scripture passage. Without it I would have never known that my father's name and my middle name were part of the Bible.

I Will Rescue You . . . Thoughts from Isaiah
By the way . . . my friend, Shirley Estill, has been in a wheel chair for 53 years . . . since April 27, 1962.
And . . . guess what? She has the VICTORY. If she can, you can!
There are times in life when we need to be rescued, or, at least, we feel that we do.
These passages from Isaiah speak very clearly to those who feel forsaken.
And this book is filled with promises that give hope in hopeless situations.
The devastating earthquake in Nepal has left more than 7,000 dead and thousands injured. This 7.8 earthquake was the strongest in Nepal since 1900!
Those who are alive are grieving for relatives, neighbors and friends.
His promise in 48:11 says, "I will rescue you for MY SAKE."
Think about this for a moment: He does not say that He will rescue us for our sake . . . but for His.
This reveals a compassionate God that feels our troubles at least as much as we do. When we hurt, He hurts.
He will rescue you for His Sake!
I alone am God, the First and the Last.
I will not let my reputation be tarnished.
I will tell you things that are entirely new, things you never heard before.
I will tell you new things, secrets you have not yet heard.
Long ago I told you what was going to happen. Then suddenly I took action, and all my predictions came true.
He created all the stars (Ge. 1:16 and Isaiah 40:26).
This makes Him THE STAR MAKER!
Have you ever cried out to Him, "Oh, Star Maker?"
When I call out the stars, they all appear in order (Is. 48:13) . . . and He calls them all by name (Isaiah 40:26 and Ps. 147:4).
150 years before Cyrus was born Isaiah called him by name six times (look them up and count them) . . . and predicted what he was going to do. Try that on for size! And there are still some folks around who don't believe God wrote the Bible?
At just the right time I will respond to you (49:8).
The Lord called me before my birth (49:1).
Kings will stand at attention when you pass by because the Holy One of Israel has chosen you (49:7).
Your children will come back to you and they will be like jewels or bridal ornaments for you to display (49:18).
Those who trust in me will never be put to shame (49:23).
I can speak to the sea and make it dry up (50:2).
I know how to comfort the weary (50:4).
He opens my understanding to His will (50:4b).
I am determined to do His will (50:7).
All my enemies will be destroyed (50:9).
Trust in the Lord and rely on your God (50:10).
Because these are promises from God they are SOLID ROCK. They can all be trusted. Whoever you are, and wherever you are, think upon them. It will give you hope!
And . . . guess what? She has the VICTORY. If she can, you can!

You must watch and listen
Mark Biltz is a Bible teacher like no other I've ever heard.
A few months ago I had the privilege of being in two of his services in Tacoma, Washington. My two daughters and their babies were with me. At the end of each meeting Pastor Mark laid hands on us and prayed for us.
This was a huge impartation time for all of us.
Last Saturday's message (March 28) is one of the most powerful I've ever heard in my life.
So I'm placing it here and you can watch and listen FREE, too!
Be blessed: His message begins at about the 50 minute mark.

Obama is the Haman in the Book of Esther
By GREER FAY CASHMAN, JEREMY SHARON \
03/29/2015 09:17
Rabbi Shlomo Riskin, Chief Rabbi of Efrat on Saturday night compared US President Barack Obama to Haman and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Mordechai.
Speaking at the Jerusalem Great Synagogue, the American born Riskin said that he could not understand what was going through Obama’s mind.
“The President of the United States is lashing out at Israel just like Haman lashed out at the Jews,” he said.
“I’m not making a political statement,” he clarified, “I’m making a Jewish statement.”
When a woman in the audience shouted out that Riskin was being disrespectful to the President of the United States, she was booed by the crowd and Riskin said he didn’t need any help from the audience.
“I am being disrespectful because the President of the United States was disrespectful to my prime minister, to my country, to my future and to the future of the world.”
Just as Mordechai was focused on saving the Jews of Persia from destruction, Riskin noted, so Netanyahu is focused on saving Israel and the world from destruction.
Riskin said more than once throughout his address that he was proud of Netanyahu, and added that he did the right thing in speaking to Congress “even if it angered Obama.”
Riskin also drew an analogy between the conquest of Babylon by ancient Persia and the armed conflict between Iran and Iraq.
In relation to Iran, Riskin said that the only difference between Iran and ISIS (the Islamic State) was who would be using power to control the world.
Closer to home, Riskin said that one of Israel’s greatest tragedies is that the rabbinate is enmeshed in politics. Alluding to Shas leader Arye Deri, Riskin declared that he didn’t know how someone who went to jail for bribery could be put back into the same place without ever admitting to his guilt or expressing remorse.
Riskin insisted that this was not compatible with Jewish philosophy. “What we’re all about is compassionate righteousness and moral justice,” he said. “We have to have a free voice that is not politically fettered.”
And Riskin was not the only prominent rabbi to criticize Obama over the weekend for his diplomatic policies.
The World Values Network organization, founded and run by the well-known American rabbi and public figure Shmuley Boteach, took out a full page advertisement in The New York Times on Saturday comparing the deal being drawn up with Iran on its nuclear project to the Munich Agreement signed in 1938 by British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain with Adolf Hitler, widely seen as an act of appeasement that emboldened the Nazi leader.
The New York Times ad bore a picture of a pensive-looking Obama with an inset picture of Chamberlain holding aloft a copy of the Munich Agreement document which he infamously declared to represent “peace for our time,” just 11 months before Hitler ordered the invasion of Poland marking the beginning of the Second World War.
The ad described Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei as a “terror overlord,” and a “Hitler-wannabe,” and said that the deal being discussed with Iran would “enable the world’s foremost sponsor of terror to become a nuclear power.”
It called on Obama to demand that Khamenei personally and publicly repudiate his threats against Israel, demand that Iran cease support for terrorist groups, and not to approve a deal that “allows the potentially catastrophic one-year-weapons-breakout period, which endangers Israel, the Middle East, America and the world.”

WHEN THE ENEMY COMES IN . . .
"When the enemy comes in like a flood, the Lord will raise up a standard* against him" (Is. 59:19).
Obama did everything he could to keep Netanyahu from being elected again.
But in spite of all of his influence, money, and power, it did not work.
Benjamin Netanyahu is the Prime Minister of Israel!
So . . . now Obama wants to influence the U.N.to divide the nation.
Look out United States!
"He that touches Israel touches the apple of my eye" (Zech. 2:8).
These are some of the most precarious days in history.
The forces of darkness are doing everything possible to obstruct God's purposes.
But it will be to no avail. God will win!
Exciting times as we watch the Bible prophecies unfold.
Keep reading your Bible, praying, and watching.
We are experiencing the end time events that men and women of God have anticipated for centuries.
*The Hebrew meaning for "standard" × ×•ּס (nus):
"I am your guest--- a traveler passing through,
as my ancestors were before me."

1/15/15 PASSING
Yes, I checked it out on Snopes. It's true!
You're a 19 year old kid.
You are critically wounded and dying in the jungle somewhere in the Central Highlands of Viet Nam.
It's November 11, 1967.
LZ (landing zone) X-ray.
Your unit is outnumbered 8-1 and the enemy fire is so intense from 100 yards away, that your CO (commanding officer) has ordered the MedEvac helicopters to stop coming in.
You're lying there, listening to the enemy machine guns and you know you're not getting out.
Your family is half way around the world, 12,000 miles away, and you'll never see them again.
As the world starts to fade in and out, you know this is the day.
Then - over the machine gun noise - you faintly hear that sound of a helicopter.
You look up to see a Huey coming in. But.. It doesn't seem real because no MedEvac markings are on it.
Captain Ed Freeman is coming in for you.
He's not MedEvac so it's not his job, but he heard the radio call and decided he's flying his Huey down into the machine gun fire anyway.
Even after the MedEvacs were ordered not to come, he's coming anyway.
And he drops it in and sits there in the machine gun fire, as they load 3 of you at a time on board.
Then he flies you up and out through the gunfire to the doctors and nurses and safety.
And,he kept coming back!! 13 more times!!
Until all the wounded were out. No one knew until the mission was over that the Captain had been hit 4 times in the legs and left arm.
He took 29 of you and your buddies out that day. Some would not have made it without the Captain and his Huey.
Medal of Honor Recipient, Captain Ed Freeman, United States Air Force, died January 15 at the age of 70, in Boise , Idaho
May God Bless and Rest His Soul.
I bet you didn't hear about this hero's passing, but we've sure seen a whole bunch about the thugs Michael Brown, Trayvon Martin,
the gov. shut down, what difference does it make?
BUT ZIP ABOUT THE PASSING OF
Medal of Honor Winner Captain Ed Freeman
Shame on the media !!!
Now... YOU pass this along.
Honor this real hero!
Please !

NETANYAHU'S SPEECH TO THE U.S. CONGRESS
"But I can guarantee this: Those days when the Jewish people remain passive in the face of genocidal enemies . . . THOSE DAYS ARE OVER!"--Benjamin Netanyahu
If you do not have time to listen to his entire speech, then begin at 58 minutes into it. Powerful!
http://www.c-span.org/video/?324609-2/israeli-prime-minister-benjamin-netanyahu-address-congress
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed a joint meeting of Congress, in which he outlined his opposition to a possible deal.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed a joint meeting of Congress, in which he outlined his opposition to a possible deal with Iran over its nuclear program.
The prime minister’s speech was controversial because Republican congressional leaders invited him without the involvement of the Obama administration. At least 50 Democratic members boycotted the address, and Vice President Joe Biden was also not in attendance.
After House Speaker John Boehner gaveled in the session, C-SPAN cameras showed scenes from the House chamber of members of Congress and other attendees. The prime minister’s speech begins approximately 22 minutes into the program.

NOW IN OUR LIFETIME: THE BOOK OF REVELATION
Before they slit their throats, they gouged out their eyes. But this is nothing new. These savages did the same thing in 586 B.C.--Read Jeremiah 52:11. Same people . . . same spirit!
"HOW LONG BEFORE YOU JUDGE THE PEOPLE . . . AND AVENGE OUR BLOOD FOR WHAT THEY HAVE DONE TO US?"---REVELATION 6:10
ISIS MURDERS 21 CHRISTIANS IN LIBYA!
"The time when the power of darkness reigns" (Luke 22:53).
"Weep for yourselves and for your children" (Luke 23:28).
"I SAW THE SOULS OF THOSE WHO HAD BEEN BEHEADED FOR THEIR TESTIMONY ABOUT JESUS . . ." (Rev. 20:4).
"THEY WERE TOLD TO REST A LITTLE LONGER UNTIL THE FULL NUMBER WHO WERE TO BE MARTYRED---HAD JOINED THEM" (REVELATION 6:11).
THESE MEN IN ORANGE ARE NOW SHOUTING UNDER THE ALTAR IN HEAVEN. READ IT FOR YOURSELF IN REVELATION 6:9-11.
TODAY---RIGHT NOW---FEBRUARY 2015--IT APPEARS THAT THE "FIFTH SEAL" HAS BEEN BROKEN BY THE LAMB.
I ACTUALLY NEVER THOUGHT I'D LIVE TO SEE THIS DAY AND HOUR. IT IS HORRIBLE BEYOND WORDS OR PICTURES. BUT IT DOES BUILD OUR FAITH BECAUSE THE BIBLE CLEARLY PREDICTED THESE THINGS WOULD TAKE PLACE.
THERE ARE MORE THAN 30 MILLION MEMBERS OF ISIS. SO DON'T THINK THAT THIS TERROR IS GOING TO GO AWAY ANY TIME SOON.
THEY BUTCHERED THESE CHRISTIANS ON THE SOUTHERN SHORE OF THE MEDITTEREAN SEA IN LIBYA FOR A REASON. STRAIGHT NORTH, ACROSS THE SEA IS ROME AND THE HEADQUARTERS OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH. MEMBERS OF ISIS HAVE NOW THREATENED THE LIFE OF THE POPE!
STRANGE . . . THE POPE JUST INVITED MEMBERS OF THE MAFIA TO RETURN TO THE CHURCH. HE KNOWS FULL WELL THAT IF ANY GROUP IS CAPABLE OF DEALING WITH ISIS IT IS THE MAFIA.
BUT THIS SHOULD CALM ALL OF YOUR FEARS--:)-- ONLY 20,000 ILLEGALS HAVE CROSSED OUR SOUTHERN BORDER IN THE LAST 60 DAYS! HOW MANY OF THEM ARE MEMBERS OF ISIS OR SOME OTHER TERROR GROUP?
____________________________________
Part 2 of "In our lifetime": Jeremiah 52.
What goes around comes around. Sometimes people say, "History repeats itself!"
This year is 2015. Backtrack 2,601 years. It is the year 586 B.C.
Israel had a new king who was only 21-years-old, and he had only reigned for eleven years. His name was Zedekiah! It turned out that he was Israel's last king.
As a young buck he chose a bad lifestyle and "did what was evil in the Lord's sight". As you know, this automatically gets you in big trouble.
Because he was living an evil life, he did not seek the Lord regarding the conflict with Babylon and King Nebuchadnezzar. He chose to rebel against the most powerful nation on earth.
That also gets you in big trouble!
King Nebuchadnezzar surrounded Jerusalem with his army and put it under siege for two and a half years.
The date was August 17, 586 B.C. If you do not understand Tisha b'Av look it up on Google.
No food came into the city and the famine became so bad that mothers were eating their own children. "The last of the food was entirely gone"(Jeremiah 52:6).
One night King Zedekiah decided to escape with his body guards. He only got as far as the plains of Jericho when he was captured by the Babylonians. All his soldiers forsook him.
The people who captured him were the ancient ancestors of ISIS!---Same geographic area---same people.
You can pretty much guess what they did to Zedekiah. Before they gouged out his eyes they made him watch as they systematically butchered all his sons. That was the last thing Zedekiah saw on this earth!
Then his captors led him away to Babylon where he eventually died in prison. I will leave it to your imagination as to how he was treated in that prison.
How would you like to be a prisoner of ISIS?
Fast forward 70 years: Cyrus, King of Persia, sets the Jewish captives free and they rebuild the Temple and the city of Jerusalem.
Fast forward to the year 70 A.D. The Jewish people did not learn from the first trip to the woodshed. So they were invaded by the Romans and the Second Temple was destroyed.
Fast forward again: May 14, 1948. Israel becomes a nation again after 1,878 years.
Talk about a miracle! And it was predicted by God in the Bible.
So . . . where are we now in 2015? What is next on the horizon? Do your research. I may tackle this subject in a future blog entry.
Enough for now! You have plenty of information to chew on with this entry.
IF YOU ARE NOT A BELIEVER IN JESUS, AND THIS STUFF SCARES YOU TO DEATH, CALL ON HIS NAME RIGHT NOW, WHEREVER YOU ARE, AND ASK HIM TO SAVE YOUR SOUL. HE LOVES YOU AND HE WILL SAVE YOU. FAITH IN HIM GUARANTEES THAT YOU WILL SPEND ETERNITY IN HEAVEN WITH HIM!
"IF YOU CONFESS WITH YOUR MOUTH THE LORD JESUS, AND BELIEVE IN YOUR HEART THAT GOD RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD, YOU WILL BE SAVED." THIS IS RIGHT OUT OF THE BIBLE: ROMANS 10:9
YES, THIS IS GOOD NEWS DURING A TIME OF VERY BAD NEWS. JESUS IS REAL. THE BIBLE IS TRUE. AND WE HAVE THE "BLESSED HOPE" OF SPENDING FOREVER WITH HIM. :)
ONE OF THE THIEVES ON THE CROSS BESIDE JESUS HAD NEVER GONE TO CHURCH. BUT JUST BEFORE HE DIED, HE SAID TO JESUS, "REMEMBER ME WHEN YOU COME INTO YOUR KINGDOM."
JESUS REPLIED, "I ASSURE YOU, TODAY YOU WILL BE WITH ME IN PARADISE."
THE REFERENCE FOR THIS IS LUKE 23:42-43.
Billy Graham: "Storm is Coming!"
http://cnsnews.com/news/article/michael-w-chapman/rev-graham-imagine-outcry-if-21-muslims-had-been-beheaded-Christians
“The disputed fate of the 21 Coptic Christians abducted in Sirte, Libya is now clear and visible for all to see on video: while holding them down, Islamic State members shove their fingers in the Christians’ eyes, crane their heads back, and slice away at their throats with knives—all in the name of Allah and Islam, all as the slaughtered call out on the “Lord Jesus Christ.”
What is coming down the pike next when the Lamb breaks THE SIXTH SEAL? You guessed it: THE GREAT EARTHQUAKE--REV. 6:12
And now our "President" wants to bring ISIS across our southern border. Has this man lost his mind . . . or has this been his plan all along? Can you imagine the picture above taking place in various parts of the United States of America? What a day in which we are living! http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/01/29/us-usa-syria-refugees-idUSKBN0L22WX20150129
But remember: THE LAMB BROKE THE SEALS! THE LAMB IS IN CONTROL! JESUS IS MAKING ALL THE DECISIONS REGARDING HOW THESE END TIME EVENTS PLAY OUT. THIS IS GOOD NEWS!

NEW WORLD LEADER APPEARS FROM NOWHERE
A CHARISMATIC NEW WORLD LEADER APPEARS FROM NOWHERE AND TAKES CONTROL OF GREECE
A MAN HAS COME ON THE INTERNATIONAL SCENE, AND MANY WHO KNOW THE LORD JESUS CHRIST AS THEIR SAVIOR, ARE TAKING A HARD LOOK AT HIM.
“And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.” Revelation 13:2 (KJV)
EDITOR’S NOTE: We are looking for Jesus Christ, and not the Antichrist. But when we discovered this new “mystery man” who from nowhere has taken rock-star control of Greece, is backed by George Soros, has formed alliance with Russia and is talking with Pope Francis about a peace treaty between Israel and the Palestinians. We thought you just might want to know about it.
His name is Alexis Tsipras, and it seems that he meets much of the criteria of the prophesied Antichrist. He was just elected as the Prime Minister of Greece. He is an atheist and a far left winger. His party in Greece is called SYRIZA. He has appeared out of nowhere in the last couple of years, almost magically. He has landed himself in a most precarious situation. Greece is broken. Is he the one to fix it, and also the EU which is struggling and groping at almost anything to revive Europe? All eyes are on this man.
On Sept 17, 2014 Mr. Tsipras met with Pope Francis at the Vatican. He was the first leader of a left-wing party that met the head of the Roman-Catholic church–ever. This is not surprising with this Pope, because he is rabidly ecumenical, and very “Green”, always talking about global warming and people harming the earth. It has been said that Tsipras and the Pope get along famously, and are in one accord. No problem that one claims to be the head of the “faithful” on this earth, and the other, a staunch atheist. Could it be that there are unseen circumstances, not being divulged to the public? I would say, assuredly so.
Terry James of Rapture Ready wrote a piece on the possibility of this man being the Antichrist, but he made strong point at the beginning of the piece, telling Christians that we should be looking for the glorious appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ to Rapture His church from this earth.
Here are two excerpts from Terry James article on “Nearing Midnight”
Antichrist Archetype Emerges
“…There has surfaced, in my view at least, an archetype of the leader to come who will be the first beast of Revelation 13. This generation is not yet in the Tribulation, but is experiencing precursors to that last seven years that makes us know that a time of unprecedented troubles is just ahead. Likewise, a leader has arisen from the area of the reviving Roman Empire, one whose emergence makes the observant Bible prophecy student suspect ever more assuredly that Antichrist is waiting in the shadows of the immediate future.Any such leader rising suddenly and dramatically out of the very nucleus of what was ancient Rome justifiably raises the eyebrows of Bible prophecy students. The visible, physical reactions of those who have put him on his pedestal are quite interesting…glassy eyes filled with tears of joy, as they looked worshipfully at the man on whom they are hanging their hopes. As a matter of fact, the slogan for his campaign was “Hope is coming!” — Terry James, RaptureReady.com“I think we are looking at an archetype of the man whose name will add up to six hundred, three score and six.”—Terry” [1] – source
Here is part of a blogpost from christianpost.com:
“One interesting candidate that is clearly different from most of the others is Greek politician Alexis Tsipras He is the nominee for the Party of the European left; he also is the youngest of all the candidates at 39 years of age. He is a total atheist whose political roots are in socialism and communism. He remains un-married, but has cohabitated with his high school girlfriend for twenty years and they have one child.
Not only is he a wildly popular figure in Greece, but was elected unanimously to the SYRIZA a conglomerate of 13 far left radical groups. He has an Obama-like quality of being believed without a long established history of significant accomplishments or well accepted political plans or skills.” [2] – source
Alexis Tsipras sworn into office takes Civil Oath
“Alexis Tsipras, who was sworn in earlier this week as the new Prime Minister of Greece,has become his country’s first openly atheist leader. A survey noted that atheist leaders in Europe are becoming more prominent, with France and Croatia also being led by non-religious figures.
Tsipras was sworn in on Monday after his Syriza party won the elections in Greece, but he chose not to take a religious oath at the ceremony. Reuters noted that Tsipras, whose left-wing party has opposed austerity measures, broke from tradition when he decided to take a civil, rather than a biblical oath.” [3] – source
He is the first leader of Greece to refuse to take a religious oath on the Bible in the history of the country.
Tsipras has met with Pope Francis to discuss a peace treaty with Israel:
Tsipras said: “Even though we started from different points, ideological points, we believe we have common positions in the principles of solidarity, in the principles of justice, peace and cohesion.”
“We agreed on the need to continue the dialogue between the European left and the Christian church,” he said. “There is a need to create an ecumenical alliance against poverty, inequalities, against the logic that markets and profits are above people.”” - Alexis Tsipras in meeting with Pope Francis
The Pope and the new Greek leader also discussed climate change. Pope Francis is open to everyone, well almost everyone. He embraces the Atheist, the Wiccan, really any beliefs are fine with him, as long as social justice is addressed and a common hatred of Capitalism is quite important.
Think of how the bible describes the character and nature of the Antichrist, while you read the following quote from Alexis Tsipras official website:
“We discussed the need for peace to return on earth, for the immediate cease of war interventions…asked him to take an international initiative for the termination of conflicts in the Middle East. Finally, we agreed that the dialogue between the Left and the Christian Church must go on. We may have different ideological starting points; however, we converge on common values, like solidarity, love for the fellow Human being, social justice, and our concern regarding world peace.”Alexis Tsipras in his meeting with Pope Francis
Alexis Tsipras as the Antichrist? Pope Francis as the False Prophet? It certainly is pretty interesting, wouldn’t you say?
George Soros backs Tsipras
“The Guardian featured an article today about George Soros and the opening of his “Solidarity Center” in Thessaloniki, Greece, the first of many he plans to open in order to help Greeks who were hit the worst by the economic crisis.”
You see, it is a hobby of Mr. Soros to take his billions of dollars and play politics. He groomed Barack Obama for his entrance onto the world stage. He is part of the New World Order (Illuminati). He is probably one of the most evil people who ever walked the earth. Strong statement – I know. But how about Hitler? Of course, Hitler was incredibly evil. But did you know what George Soros did in Germany during the Holocaust? He was a teen and from a billionaire father. He was a Jew, but to save his own life, he turned in his fellow Jews to be loaded on the trains, heading for their deaths. He is unrepentant of these deeds – he says there is nothing to be sorry about.
Isn’t it interesting that the pre-elections took place in Thessaloniki (Thessalonica from the Bible) and now Mr. Soros has established his Solidarity Center in that same city? One thing I find fascinating is that in the Bible, the Antichrist was spoken of in much detail by the Apostle Paul in the book of 2 Thessalonians 2:
“Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace, Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work.”
There are no coincidences with our God.
“According to the article Aliki Mouriki, a sociologist of the Greek National Center for Social Research said: “Greece, to a great degree, has become a failed state. It is unable to provide basic facilities for its citizens because of budget cuts. In the absence of public welfare, and with around one and a half million officially unemployed, growing numbers are looking for substitutes elsewhere.”
Last year, George Soros had offered Greek institutions 1 million dollars to buy heating oil, after mayors in different Greek municipalities requested help. “It had got to the point where some of the schools had not a drop of oil left. This month we got 20,000 tons from Soros and it has really helped. The government has now promised an extra four million euros but we have yet to see it,” said the mayor of Naoussa in Northern Greece.
George Soros has donated money for heating oil to approximately 190 Greek institutions such as orphanages, schools, nurseries and homes of the elderly and is planning to open “Solidarity Centers” around Greece. The first one opened in Thessaloniki just a few days ago and is already filled with applications.
George Soros’ philanthropy has been the subject of a great controversy. Parents’ associations all over Greece are refusing donations because they are suspicious of his motives. Yiannis Boutaris, mayor of Thessaloniki responded saying “Why Soros gives money to Thessaloniki or other Greek regions, or even to NGOs to help vulnerable groups, should not be the centre of attention. It is the fact that Greek tycoons, shipowners and those from the diaspora don’t follow his example.”[4]
Russia is looking to make an ally within its biggest enemy – Greece
The plot is beginning to thicken.
Greece’s defense minister was invited to Moscow to meet Sergei Shoygu, his Russian counterpart, in the near future. Greece is part of the 28 members of NATO. Russia has always regarded NATO is its biggest threat. Now, Russia appears to have a newfound interest in establishing a relationship with Greece’s defense minister. On Tuesday Kammenos met with both the US and Russian ambassadors to Greece.
The solidarity shown to #Greece by the peoples of Europe is the European “dream” in practice. It is the future of #Europe
— Alexis Tsipras (@tsipras_eu) February 10, 2015
“The discussion with the ambassador of Russia, Mr. Maslov, was also about the pending agreements between the Ministries of National Defence of Greece and Russia, the capabilities of a strategic cooperation, the organisation of the year of Greek-Russian friendship in 2016 which will take place in Greece and in Russia. I received an invitation by Russia’s Minister of Defence to visit Moscow within the next period of time,” Kammenos wrote on Greece’s Ministry of National Defense website.” [5] – source
The new Greek government at times has been critical of both the EU and NATO. Tsipras has spoken of withdrawing from NATO.
“On Nato, Syriza describes its approach as a ‘multi-dimensional, pro-peace foreign policy for Greece, with no involvement in wars or military plans.’ It seeks ‘the re-foundation of Europe away from artificial divisions and Cold War alliances such as Nato.’ … Last year on Syriza MP called for Greece to leave Nato altogether, though the comments were rapidly played down by senior officials,” writes BBC.
“The new Greek government is cause for concern, especially because Tsipras has voiced his opposition to NATO membership in the past,” Ian Bremmer told Business Insider last week. “And his early actions — these comments regarding sanctions, as well as his meeting with the Russian ambassador to Greece without hours of taking office — demonstrates that he is willing to engage differently with Moscow.”
It Was Just Like Obama’s First Election Night!”
Already there are comparisons between Tsipras and Obama. The adoring crowds. The rock star status. The people really don’t know much about their new PM. Sound familiar?
They know that Tsipras met his partner, and mother of his kids, in high school, when they both joined Student’s for Communism.
I have been digging into the Internet, attempting to find everything I can about Alexis Tsipras. What I am about to tell you will probably shock you as it did me. I want to stress that I have found this information on different Greek sites (translated of course) and it by no means proves that this is true. But if it is, then I do think that we “may” be looking at the Wicked (as the Bible calls him).
Here is what I have been reading:
“The father of Alexis Cipra, Pavlos Cipra, died in 2012. He was a billionaire with a direct link with the Mossad, he was the father of a slave BHL entrepreneur in Africa where he was trafficking in Africans. He sent dozens of Africans in Greece in order to exploit them, giving them just enough to survive in its construction companies and public travux.
The family business “SKAPANEA” was responsible for all major public works in Greece since the junta until today, construction / restoration of Orthodox churches through broadcasting. Like the Italian Mafia, the other companies have to pay a percentage to the “family” if they want to survive. “ [6] – source

Yes, you read that correctly. I have been finding people in Greece saying that Tsipras is actually “Cipra” and is of Jewish blood.
“Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.” Many End Times scholars have concluded that this passage of Scripture from Daniel 11:37 shows the Antichrist to be atheist, since he no longer regards the God of his fathers.
We as children of God, should be looking for the Blessed Hope of His appearing to catch us away from this wicked planet. But we should also be watchmen on the wall, discerning the times and events. In this way, we will be more informed to share our thoughts and Scripture with others.
And when I look at Tsipras/Cipra – I see someone who may just be the man of sin of which the Bible speaks.
We won’t be here, but this should give us pause, and make us realize that we need to share the Gospel with everyone we know!!
MARANATHA!!!!!
Blessings in Yeshua
JUST SOME SIMPLE TRUTH
Were those Muslims that were in America when the Pilgrims first
landed? Funny, I thought they were Native American Indians.
Were those Muslims that celebrated the first Thanksgiving day? Sorry
again, those were Pilgrims and Native American Indians.
Can you show me one Muslim signature on the United States Constitution?
Declaration of Independence ?
Bill of Rights?
Didn't think so.
Did Muslims fight for this country's freedom from England ? No.
Did Muslims fight during the Civil War to free the slaves in America ?
No, they did not.
In fact, Muslims to this day are still the largest traffickers in
human slavery.
Where were Muslims during the Civil Rights era of this country? Not
present.
There are no pictures or media accounts of Muslims walking side by
side with Martin Luther King, Jr. or helping to advance the cause of
Civil Rights.
Where were Muslims during this country's Woman's Suffrage era?
Again, not present. In fact, devout Muslims demand that women are
subservient to men in the Islamic culture. So much so, that often
they are beaten for not wearing the 'hajib' or for talking to a man
who is not a direct family member or their husband. Yep, the Muslims
are all for women's rights, aren't they?
Where were Muslims during World War II?
They were aligned with Adolf Hitler. The Muslim grand mufti himself
met with Adolf Hitler, reviewed the troops and accepted support from
the Nazi's in killing Jews.
Finally, where were Muslims on Sept. 11th, 2001? If they
weren't flying planes into the World Trade Center , the Pentagon or a
field in Pennsylvania killing nearly 3,000 people on our own soil,
they were rejoicing in the Middle East . No one can dispute the
pictures shown from all parts of the Muslim world celebrating on CNN,
Fox News, MSNBC and other cable news network's that day.
To many Americans, their silence has meant approval for the acts of
that day.
And THAT is the "rich heritage" Muslims have here in America.
