***************************************************
1. Israel Restore
Has already happened: Israel. This was the greatest return to a homeland in human history. The Hebrew people returning home in the Holy Land, ISRAEL. Ancient Jews were wedged in by Egypt and Assyria to drive them out. Assyria conquer 10 tribes of N. Kingdom of Israel and a century Nebakanezer of Babylon conquer S. Kingdom 605 BC. When Persia defeated Babylon, Abraham descendant were free to go back to Promise Land. Then Promise Land occupied by Rome and they brought in their own "gods". Jerusalem fell to Muslim power that Islamize it. For centuries Israel was under Turkish empire until defeated in WWI. Jews return to their homeland. In 1930 Nazi Germany persecuted Jews. The Holocaust destroy Jews properties and millions were shipped to concentration camp to be killed. WWII defeated Germany and Jewish survivors of the Holocaust sailed to the shore of their homeland, only to be turned back. After 9 months of debates the United Nations partition Israel into Arab and Jewish state. In 1948 the new state of Israel was born, first sign pointing to Christ return.
Jeremiah chp.23
3. And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries whither I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase.
Jeremiah chp.29
14. And I will be found of you, saith the LORD: and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith the LORD; and I will bring you again into the place whence I caused you to be carried away captive.
Matthew chp.24
32. Now learn a parable of the FIG TREE*; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
33. So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
34. Verily I say unto you, This GENERATION shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
...all this in 1 (ONE ) generation ! ... Israel is the home of 65 years, is nearing the end of the generation!
*FIG TREE = Israel
2. Reunification of Europe
This has happened/is happening now. European Union.
A superpower emerges in Europe. The European Union (Roman Empire reborn) Integrated economic and politically, common policy in trade, agriculture, monitory system, support national department. Daniel the prophet during Nebuchadnezzar rule spoke of this day.
3. Signs in nature and and apostasy
Great wars, serious diseases, famine, great earthquakes, tsunamis, and floods as there were before.
Luke 21 LORD Jesus Christ warned:
10. Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:
11. And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.
...
25. And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
26. Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
27. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
4. Rebuilding of 3rd Temple
Building of the 3rd Temple on the holy mount in Jerusalem. (In the 3 RD temples will enter AntiChrist and says he is God, but the power he has is the evil to deceive all the nations)
The gates of Jerusalem Golden Gate: To Jews the gate is where the Messiah will enter Jerusalem and restore Israel to its formal glory. To Christian the gate is where Jesus will reenter the city of Jerusalem. The Muslim sealed the gate in 1530 because they know the Messiah, as a Jewish high priest, is forbidden to cross the cemetery they fronted with a broad graveyard. This is the temple mount, the jewel crown, the biblical mount Maria, the heart of the Jewish faith. Covers 35 acres, it is the most valued peace of land on earth. King Solomon built the first temple of Jerusalem here but was destroyed in 586 B.C. by Babylonian invaders. King Herod completed the building of the second Temple in 26 B.C. It was his greatest achievement. Roman emperor Caligula attempt to in store his graven image in the Temple but this upset the Jewish and they revolted against the Romans and won. However, in 70 A.D. Roman forces captured the city and burnt down the temple, carrying sacred vessels to Rome. All that remain of the Temple is a retaining western wall of massive stone blocks raising 50 feet. This is the holy place for the Jewish civilization. What crown the temple mount today is Muslim architecture called the “Dome of the Rock”. Important to the follower of Mohamed, as the Temple is important to Israel.
It shows a rock where Abraham sacrifices his son Isaac. It is also the rock Muslim believe Mohamed was "ascended into heaven". Christians and Jews are forbidden to pray at the dome, including the buildings near by the dome. The mount may be the location of the 3rd temple that will be built by the Jews. Both Jews and Muslim claim it as their own. 691 A.D. the Muslim completed building the Dome of the Rock and stood 13 century. They are not ready to see a 3rd Temple raised by the Jewish. Many Jewish say the new Temple will be from Heaven. A model of the 3rd temple is already being prepared. Christians believe Jesus Christ will not return until the 3rd Temple is built.
The dictator (anchrist) will have authority upon every tribe, people, language, and nation. He will come as a peace maker and deceive the elect. He enters into agreement with Israel. This will mark the 7 years period of fake covenant (after 3 and half years, AntiChrist brake covenant, enter in Holy Temple, and THEN start great tribulation) which will end with the 2nd coming of the Christ. Now the false prophet will do signs and wonders for the dictator AntiChrist. His image is to be worshiped, prayed too, and adore.
The LORD Jesus Christ speak:
Matthew chp.24
15. When ye therefore shall see the ABOMINATION of DESOLATION, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the HOLY PLACE, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
....
21. For THEN shall be GREAT TRIBULATION, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
22. And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
5. The Coming of the Antichrist, Rising of a World Dictator
The rise of a dictator , AntiChrist, whose monstrous acts may even dwarf those of Adolf Hitler. This could be a European dictator who rules with an evil iron fist over the European Union, promising to end terrorist, crime and all of Europe's woes. He could be among us now. He may rise to power much the same way Hitler did. He will be "fatally" wounded. Then, as if by a "miracle" he is healed. It is a satanic mockery of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It will astound the whole world, however -- gaining him followers all over the world. Then like Hitler who tried to edge God of His thrown, the AntiChrist will proclaim himself God. Remember how quickly "Heil Hitler" replaced the traditional German greeting of "God be with you" and "Greet the Lord"?
Looks like man, speaks boastfully with great authority. People surrender all their will, love, loyalty, freedom, and soul to him because they believe he is a savior. He promise peace, establish order, stabilize economy, unit world order, he will appear heaven sent. He is the AntiChrist sent by Satan. We don't know for sure exactly but this man could rise from Europe or Middle East (old empires from book of Daniel). Advance technology will serve the AntiChrist.
This person will be wounded at head by a sword and healed with some miracle.. The world was amazed and thought of himself as a living God. A second beast (the false prophet) coming out of earth exercise the authority of the first beast and made everybody worship the first. He will cause fire to come down from the Heavens. He does not make himself an object of worship, but rather direct people admiration to a dictator, the AntiChrist. He makes his lies sound like truth. Economically and military deem himself divine and he tries to duplicate Christ’s miracles.
...he (AntiChrist) will confirm a peace covenant with ISRAEL and many nations, for 7 years, but half of those seven years, after 3 years and half will go to the Temple of Jerusalem (HOLY PLACE will be rebuilt very soon) and will declare that he is GOD. Then begins the Tribulation, in which almost all people on earth will die. The AntiChrist will be the most ferocious man ever born, because will be possessed by Satan himself.
Daniel 9
27. And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
The LORD Jesus Christ speak:
Matthew chp.24
14. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
15. When ye therefore SHALL SEE the ABOMINATION of DESOLATION, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the HOLY PLACE, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
16. Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
17. Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
18. Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
19. And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
20. But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
21. For THEN shall be GREAT TRIBULATION, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
22. And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
Yes... christians (disciples of Christ) must endure 3 and half years great tribulation...which start after 3 and half years of fake covenant (7 years). Not many REMAIN... because largest number of christians will go in Kingdom of Elohim, after they refuse to obey AntiChrist and to receive his mark. Is a honor to die for Christ. Apostasy is here. Very soon must rise AntiChrist and false prophet.
-1- Thessalonians 4
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 Elohim: 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.
....this word REMAIN in greek means: somebody who escaped from calamity, somebody who survive after a disaster.

ORIGINS OF THE SECRET RAPTURE DOCTRINE
Must read in context always... because deceivers always take out verses from context:
LORD JESUS spoke:
Luke 17
30. Even thus shall it be in THE DAY when the Son of man is REVEALED.
31. In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.
32. Remember Lot's wife.
33. Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.
34. I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; THE ONE SHALL BE TAKEN, and THE OTHER SHALL BE LEFT.
35. Two women shall be grinding together; THE ONE SHALL BE TAKEN, and THE OTHER LEFT.
36. Two men shall be in the field; THE ONE SHALL BE TAKEN, and THE OTHER LEFT.
37. And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the EAGLES be gathered together.
__________
- left behind is ONLY when LORD is REVEALED AFTER GREAT TRIBULATION... IS NOT ABOUT "secretly rapture"... NOT secretly come which is FALSE!... left behind means YOU ARE LOST FOR EVER (Matthew 25:1-12)!
- verse 37: is about Armageddon or LAST DAY... EXACTLY what prophets says and LORD JESUS Himself spoke that He come back at the end of times! (Zechariah 14, Matthew 24, Revelation 19:17,18)
MOREOVER:
Revelation 16
1. And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of THE WRATH of God UPON THE EARTH.
...
2. And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image. ...
10. And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain,
...
15. Behold, I come as A THIEF. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.
16. And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon
- You have often heard that the LORD will not allow his bride to be on earth when God's wrath is poured out on the earth? ... This statement is FALSE!
- In great tribulation when kingdom of Antichrist is there and THE WRATH of God is poured UPON THE EARTH... LORD JESUS warn us He will come as A THIEF! ...so... in great tribulation under wrath of God...LORD JESUS yet NOT COME!... because He was very clear and prophets ALSO: LORD JESUS will come back AFTER TRIBULATION... and GREAT TRIBULATION will be used by LORD to purify His church from false christians and to prepare His bride (followers of Christ).
- in verse 15 LORD JESUS warn that He come back as A THIEF... and next verse (16) nations come to Armageddon... which is THE LAST DAY... END OF TIMES and... END of TRIBULATION... and return of Almighty LORD GOD. MOREOVER... nowhere in Bible is written that LORD JESUS come with church ("raptured") from heaven... NO!... He come back for church ONLY with His angels... and to save Israel from destruction... means great war Armageddon... and THEN... ALL Israel will know that He is The Messiah, The Son of the Living Elohim, Almighty YHWH Who was PIERCED in flesh. (Zechariah12:10).
Matthew 16 27. For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.
MOREOVER:
1 Corinthians 15
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.
- ALL WILL BE CHANGED...ALL CHRISTIANS...NOT in 2 phases: rapture and another coming of Christ!...so..there is NO "rapture".
- LAST TRUMPET is after great tribulation (Matthew 24:31)
MOREOVER:
Hebrews 9
27. And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
28. So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he APPEAR the SECOND TIME without sin UNTO SALVATION.
- rapture cannot be true... because those who will be raptured ARE NOT SAVED!... because SALVATION is ONLY when LORD JESUS APPEAR!....and LORD APPEAR ONLY at Armageddon... the LAST DAY!
- Now... do you understand how fake is this teaching about rapture?
MOREOVER:
John 6
44. No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will RAISE HIM UP at THE LAST DAY.
- rapture cannot be true... because those who will be raptured ARE NOT SAVED!... because the FIRST RESURRECTION It occurs when LORD JESUS come back at Armageddon which is The LAST DAY:
Revelation 20
4. And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
5. But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. THIS IS THE FIRST RESURRECTION.
To be martyr for Christ is not wrath of God...is honour!
Apostasy is here. Very soon must rise AntiChrist and false prophet. When AntiChrist appear to confirm 7 years covenant, pre-trib will fall. And then will be fulfilled what Apostle Paul says:
- 2 - Thessalonians 2
1. Now we beseech you, brethren, by THE COMING of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by OUR GATHERING TOGETHER UNTO HIM,
2. 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.
3. 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;
4. 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.
Apostle Paul says... if anyone says that the day of Lord (His return) is before AntiChrist appear, is under influence of another spirit.
Bible is very clear.
6. Invasion of Israel of the North: Russia and many islamic countries
The additional detail is quite astonishing:
Ezekiel 38
1. And the word of the YAHWEH came unto me, saying,
2. Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,
3. And say, Thus saith the YAHWEH Elohim; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
4. And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:
5. Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:
6. Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee.
...
15. And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army
The majority of the scholars on Bible prophecy identify Russia with these names before Russia became a super power.
In 1909, under the rule of the Cezars, before Russia had any significance in world power, C. I. Scofield commented; "That the primary reference is to the northern (European) powers, headed up by Russia, all agree....The reference to Meshech and Tubal (Moscow and Tobolsk) is a clear mark of identification. Russia and the northern powers have been the latest persecutors of dispersed Israel.". In Genesis 10 these names are given to sons and descendants of Noah. Josephus, one of history's great historians notes that Magog is called the Scythians by the Greeks. Gesenius' Hebrew and Chaldee Lexicon, a major authority on the precise meaning of Hebrew and Chaldee words regard Magog as a real country to the extreme north of the Holy Land.
Professor G. Rawlinson also identifies them with modern Russia. Secular history also traces the Scythians, who lived in the northern regions above the Caucasus Mountains, as forerunners of modern Russia. The Bible confirms this conclusion by giving the location three times calling it "the uttermost north" (Ezekiel 38:6, 15, 39:2 KJV). Drawing a straight line north of Jerusalem on the map almost hits Moscow.
The Hebrew Lexicon of Brown, Driver, and Briggs indicates that Rosh here is the proper name of a people, and a country "Russia" "Russians". Arabic writers confirm that the Great Wall of China is called the wall of Magog (Hait Al-Ma'ajooj), to protect China from the invading Russians. Certain Muslims might disagree that Magog refers to Russia, but China. This disagrees with many Arabic historians. The following will give the nations ancient names and the modern nation that now occupies that territory.

Revelations 19
11. And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
12. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
13. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of Elohim.
14. And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
15. And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty Elohim.
16. And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
Christ returns in glory to judge the godless nation from his Holy City Jerusalem, he will reign triumphed and his Kingdom will remain eternal. The unholy Trinity is crushed. The redeemed of humankind will live in bless of God’s unchallenged reign over the universe.
Luke 21
27. At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
26. When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”

Zechariah 12
1. The burden of the word of the YAHWEH for Israel, saith the YAHWEH, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him.
2. Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.
3. And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
...
8. In that day shall the LORD defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David shall be as Elohim, as the angel of the YAHWEH before them.
9. And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy ALL the NATIONS that come against Jerusalem.
10. And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon ME whom they have PIERCED, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.

Zechariah 14 The YAHWEH Comes and Reigns
1. Behold, the day of the YAHWEH cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.
2. For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
3. Then shall the YAHWEH go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
4. 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.
5. 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 YAHWEH my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.
6. And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark:
7. But it shall be one day which shall be known to the YAHWEH, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.
8. 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.
9. And the YAHWEH shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.
(year 835 BC) - prophecy about the return of The Lord Jesus Christ
Joel 3
2. I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.
...
4. Yea, and what have ye to do with me, O Tyre, and Zidon, and all the coasts of Philistia? will ye render me a recompence? and if ye recompense me, swiftly and speedily will I return your recompence upon your own head;
...
9. Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up:
...
11. Assemble yourselves, and come, all ye heathen, and gather yourselves together round about: thither cause thy mighty ones to come down, O YAHWEH.
12. Let the heathen be wakened, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat: for there will I sit to judge all the heathen round about.
...
14. Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the YAHWEH is near in the valley of decision.
15. The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining.
16. The YAHWEH also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the YAHWEH will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel.
17. So shall ye know that I am the YAHWEH your God dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain: then shall Jerusalem be holy, and there shall no strangers pass through her any more.
...
19. Egypt shall be a desolation, and Edom shall be a desolate wilderness, for the violence against the children of Judah, because they have shed innocent blood in their land.
20. But Judah shall dwell for ever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation.
21. For I will cleanse their blood that I have not cleansed: for the YAHWEH dwelleth in Zion.
Zephaniah 2
4. For Gaza shall be forsaken, and Ashkelon a desolation: they shall drive out Ashdod at the noon day, and Ekron shall be rooted up.
5. Woe unto the inhabitants of the sea coast, the nation of the Cherethites! the word of the Yahweh is against you; O Canaan, the land of the Philistines, I will even destroy thee, that there shall be no inhabitant.
6. And the sea coast shall be dwellings and cottages for shepherds, and folds for flocks.
7. And the coast shall be for the remnant of the house of Judah; they shall feed thereupon: in the houses of Ashkelon shall they lie down in the evening: for the Yahweh their Elohim shall visit them, and turn away their captivity.
8. I have heard the reproach of Moab, and the revilings of the children of Ammon, whereby they have reproached my people, and magnified themselves against their border.
9. Therefore as I live, saith the Yahweh of hosts, the Elohim of Israel, Surely Moab shall be as Sodom, and the children of Ammon as Gomorrah, even the breeding of nettles, and saltpits, and a perpetual desolation: the residue of my people shall spoil them, and the remnant of my people shall possess them.
10. This shall they have for their pride, because they have reproached and magnified themselves against the people of the Yahweh of hosts.
11. The Yahweh will be terrible unto them: for he will famish all the gods of the earth; and men shall worship him, every one from his place, even all the isles of the heathen.
12. Ye Ethiopians also, ye shall be slain by my sword.
13. And he will stretch out his hand against the north, and destroy Assyria; and will make Nineveh a desolation, and dry like a wilderness.
14. And flocks shall lie down in the midst of her, all the beasts of the nations: both the cormorant and the bittern shall lodge in the upper lintels of it; their voice shall sing in the windows; desolation shall be in the thresholds: for he shall uncover the cedar work.
Isaiah 19
1. The burden of Egypt. Behold, the Yahweh rideth upon a swift cloud, and shall come into Egypt: and the idols of Egypt shall be moved at his presence, and the heart of Egypt shall melt in the midst of it.
2. And I will set the Egyptians against the Egyptians: and they shall fight every one against his brother, and every one against his neighbour; city against city, and kingdom against kingdom.
3. And the spirit of Egypt shall fail in the midst thereof; and I will destroy the counsel thereof: and they shall seek to the idols, and to the charmers, and to them that have familiar spirits, and to the wizards.
4. And the Egyptians will I give over into the hand of a cruel lord; and a fierce king shall rule over them, saith the Lord, the Yahweh of hosts.
...
21. And the Yahweh shall be known to Egypt, and the Egyptians shall know the Yahweh in that day, and shall do sacrifice and oblation; yea, they shall vow a vow unto the Yahweh, and perform it.
22. And the Yahweh shall smite Egypt: he shall smite and heal it: and they shall return even to the Yahweh, and he shall be intreated of them, and shall heal them.
23. In that day shall there be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria, and the Egyptians shall serve with the Assyrians.
24. In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, even a blessing in the midst of the land:
25. Whom the Yahweh of hosts shall bless, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel mine inheritance.

***************************************************
Note: There are 456 prophecies fulfilled in Jesus Christ alone written in the Bible.
***************************************************
To answer the question what is the probability of one man fulfilling all eight prophecies, the principal of probability is applied. Therefore, multiplying all eight probabilities together (1 times 2.8 x 105 x 103 x 102 x 103 x 103 x 105 x 103 x 104) gives us 2.8 x 1028, or for simplicity sake 1 x 1028 or 1 in 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000. Given this and the time span between the writings of the Old Testament and the fulfillment by Christ in the New Testament, the prophecies were either given to the prophets by Elohim, or the prophets just wrote them down as they thought they should be. With Christ fulfilling all eight prophecies, what are the odds the prophets were just guessing?
2. The Law of Probability
After examining only eight different prophecies even though we could use 456, professor Emeritus of Science at Westmont College and Peter Stoner, has calculated the probability of one man fulfilling the major prophecies made concerning the Messiah. The estimates were worked out by twelve different classes of 600 college students. The students carefully weighed all the factors, discussed each prophecy at length, and examined the various circumstances which might indicate that men had conspired together to fulfill a particular prophecy. They made their estimates conservative enough so that there was finally unanimous agreement even among the most skeptical students. But when professor Stoner took their estimates and made them even more conservative. He also encouraged other skeptics or scientist to make their own estimates to see if his conclusions were more than fair.
Finally, he submitted his figures for review to a Committee of the American Scientific Affiliation. Upon examination, they verified that his calculations were dependable and accurate in regard to the scientific material presented. For example, concerning Micah 5:2, where it states the Messiah would be born in Bethlehem, Stoner and his students determined the average population of Bethlehem from the time of Micah to the present; then they divided it by the average population of the earth during the same period. They concluded that the chance of one man being born in Bethlehem was one in 2.8 x 10 to the 5th power - or rounded, one in 300,000.
After examining eight different prophecies, they conservatively estimated that the chance of one man fulfilling all eight prophecies was one in 10 to the 17th power. To illustrate how large the number 10 to the 17th power is (a figure with 17 zeros), Stoner gave this illustration. Imagine covering the entire state of Texas with silver dollars to a level of two feet deep. The total number of silver dollars needed to cover the whole state would be 10 to the 17th power. Now, choose just one of those silver dollars, mark it and drop it from an airplane. Then thoroughly stir all the silver dollars all over the state. When that has been done, blindfold one man, tell him he can travel wherever he wishes in the state of Texas. But something he must do, stop and reach down into the two feet of silver dollars and try to pull up that one specific silver dollar that has been marked. Now, the chance of his finding that one silver dollar in the state of Texas would be the chance the prophets had for eight of their prophecies coming true in any one man in the future.
In financial terms, is there anyone who would not invest in a financial venture if the chance of failure were only one in 10 to the 17th power? This kind of sure investment we are offered by God (Elohim) for belief in Christ His Messiah. Professor Stoner concludes: "The fulfillment of these eight prophecies alone proves that God (Elohim) inspired the writing of those prophecies to a definiteness which lacks only one chance in 10 to the 17th power of being absolute".
Another way of saying this is that any person who minimizes or ignores the significance of the biblical identifying signs concerning the Messiah would be foolish. But, of course, there are many more than eight prophecies. In another calculation Stoner used 48 prophecies (even though he could have used 456) and arrived at the extremely conservative estimate that the probability of 48 prophecies being fulfilled in one person is 10 to 157th power. How large is the number on in 10 to the 157th power? 10 to the 157th power contains 157 zeros !
Let us try to illustrate this number using electrons. Electrons are very small objects. They are smaller than atoms. It would take 2.5 times 10 to the 15 power of them, laid side by side, to make one inch. Even if we counted four electrons every second and counted day and night, it would still take us 19 million years just to count a line of electrons one-inch long.
But how many electrons would it take if we were dealing with 10 to the 157th power of electrons?
Imagine building a solid ball of electrons that would extend in all directions from the earth of 6 billion light years. The distance in miles of just one light year is 6.4 trillion miles. That would be a big ball! But not big enough to measure 10 to the 157th power of electrons. In order to do that, you must take that big ball of electrons reaching the length of 6 billion light years long in all directions and multiply it by 6 x 10 to the 28th power! How big is that? It's the length of the space required to store trillions and trillions and trillions of the same gigantic balls and more. In fact the space required to store all of these balls combined together would just start to "scratch the surface" of the number of electrons we would need to really accurately speak about 10 to the 157th power.
But assuming you have some idea of the number of electrons we are talking about, now imagine marking just one of those electrons in that huge number. Stir them all up. Then appoint one person to travel in a rocket for as long as he wants, anywhere he wants to go. Tell him to stop and segment a part of space, then take a high-powered microscope and find that one marked electron in that segment. What do you think his chances of being successful would be? It would be one in 10 to the 157th power. Remember, this number represents the chances of only 48 prophecies coming true in one person.
All this illustrates why it is absolutely impossible for anyone to have fulfilled the Messianic prophecies by chance. In fact, a leading authority on the probability theory, Emile Borel, states in his book Probabilities and Life, that once we go past one chance in 10 to the 50th power, the probabilities are so small it's impossible to think they will ever occur. Here is one last illustration of the immensity of the number 10 to the 157th power and why the science of probability shows we are dealing with the miraculous.
Imagine one ant traveling at the speed of only one inch every 15 billion years. If he could only carry one atom at a time, how many atoms could he move in 10 to the 157th power of years? He could even at that incredibly slow speed, be ale to move all the atoms in 600,000 trillion trillion trillion trillion universes the size for our universe, a distance of 30 billion light years! Again, all of this means it is impossible for 48 prophecies to be fulfilled by chance.
This is the kind of proof that there must be a God (Elohim) who supernaturally gave this information. Let's keep in mind that's only 48 out of over 456 Messianic prophecies out of over 8000 total verses in Bible prophecy, of which thousands of verses have been fulfilled already. God (Elohim) reveals the truth!

3. The Real War (Conclusion)
From the beginning of Christianity, and the spreading of the "Good News" message, all out spiritual war broke loose. The satanic attacks of all man made religions and deceptive messages began, and the transmission of false messages and accusations against the Holy Bible never ceased. The real war is not for land and man's political gains, but for the souls of men and women. Until this battle is won, peace will not be achieved. The Bible on God's side, and all the satanic world religions on the other, warring to gain the souls of Man.
Satan on one hand, appealing to man's way of thinking provided a false way of salvation by man's works, which is evident in Satan's false religions, and God (Elohim) on the other hand presented His way of salvation by God's work through Christ. Since then, it was Satan's religions against the Bible, and the Bible against all Satan's religions. It is by no coincidence, that all the religions after Christianity, use and miss-quote the Bible.
All these world religions present a new way for salvation by man's works. Islam, Bahai Faith, Mormons, Jehovah's Witness, Christian Science, Freemasonry, Sun Yung Moon, Prosperity Theology, Roman Catholicism (which promotes many mediators as in Hinduism teaches people to worship objects, worship the deads, the bones of the dead, to worship the worship icons, carved faces (statues), Orthodoxy (which promotes many mediators as in Hinduism teaches people to worship objects, worship the deads, the bones of the dead, to worship the icons), Satanism, and The New Age Movement, all claim to believe in Christ in one form or another. Yet all teach a different salvation message than what Christ gave, which is no salvation at all. All these religions criticize the Christian claim of Christ's blood for atonement, while Christianity stands alone against all.
This war of the "all against Christianity, and Christianity against all" did not start by coincidence. Satan began the war against God (Elohim) for rulership over the world, he never ceased to introduce false theology to man. Why should we wonder why we have so many religions? And that is the real battle.
Elohim it is not Allah, and Allah is not Elohim. VERY BIG DIFFERENCES, TOTALLY OPPOSITES, in their character and teachings.
When muslims speak about Allah, they speak about their god... not God (Elohim) of christians and jews. THIS IS A VERY BIG DIFFERENCE.
Exodus 3
13. And Moses said unto Elohim, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The Elohim of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them?
14. And Elohim said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.
15. And Elohim said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The Yahweh Elohim of your fathers, the Elohim of Abraham, the Elohim of Isaac, and the Elohim of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: THIS IS MY NAME FOR EVER, and this is MY memorial UNTO ALL GENERATIONS.

Stay away from the Catholics and Orthodox, they don't listen and don't follow The Lord Yeshua Ha'Mashiach.
They hate the words of Ha'Mashiach, The Gospel.
They are enemies against all real christians (evangelical).
Catholicism and orthodox are pagans, demonic way, they have nothing in common with Ha'Mashiach. They are idolaters in their worship: they worship Mary, images, statues, graves, they pray to the dead, they ask for help from the dead in their prayers...
They persecuted evangelical Christians (disciples of The Lord Yeshua Ha'Mashiach).
Catholic killed millions of people: jews, muslims, including many true Christians, and Orthodox persecute in many countries disciples of Yeshua Ha'Mashiach who love and support Israel.
