CHRISTIANS TARGETED IN AFRICA

Media and global elites ‘allow new Islamist Caliphate’ in Africa as Christians are wiped out. The media and the Nigerian government are engaged in a ‘fake news cover up’ over denials there is a systematic slaughter of Christians in the country, according to Dave Miers. As the death toll mounts and displacement reaches 16 million people, the Pastor has contacts on the ground who are routinely victim to Islamist attacks he believes are part of a determined effort to form an Africa-wide Islamic caliphate.

The Islamists are aiming for Africa to be the next Islamic Caliphate. With Shia Muslim control of Iran collapsing, God’s Word tells us that the Goat (Turkey, Sunni Muslim) of Daniel 8 will be next Middle East nation to attempt to re-establish a Neo Ottoman Empire.

The spread of Islam in Nigeria was marked by the establishment of the Sokoto Caliphate in the 18th century, led by Usman dan Fodio who introduced Sunni Islam to the region. This historical context highlights the shared roots of Islam in both Turkey and Nigeria, as well as the impact of Islamic movements on the socio-political landscape of the two countries.

This fits with Biblical end times prophecies that are playing out in our day. We are fast approaching the time of Jesus prophesied second coming to rescue God’s nation Israel and set up His Millennial Kingdom. This is next on God’s agenda for planet earth. It is a necessary transition period so that God fulfils the promises (Abrahamic covenant) He made to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and David for Israel’s Messiah (Jesus) to rule the nations of the world from a magnificent new Jerusalem. Satan had 6000 years rule and Jesus will have 1000 years, total 7000 years. This earth’s time is then complete and God will create a new heaven and new earth where only the righteous dwell as given in Revelation 21.

Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God.Revelation 21:1-3

ANOTHER PROPHESIED BIBLICAL END TIMES SIGN: IRAN AND ISRAEL AT WAR

Shortly before 2 am in Israel on Saturday, October 26th, airmen and women wearing bomber jackets bearing the Star of David climbed into the cockpits of about 100 jet fighters, spy planes, and refueling aircraft at an Israeli military base. They were following commands from an underground bunker known as the pit.

Israel’s wartime leaders, who were gathered in the bowels of the military headquarters in Tel Aviv, had just given the green light for the largest attack against Iran in Israel’s history — and its most politically perilous. They called the operation “Days of Repentance”. The assault was calibrated to punish Iran for an attack on Israel but aimed to avoid setting off a full-scale war between the two foes involving American forces and other countries in the region. The attack steered clear of the oil and nuclear facilities that Iran had warned would prompt retaliation, and appeared to heed the caution urged by US officials.

The attack, however, marked a dangerous new phase of confrontation between Israel and Iran, which began striking each other directly earlier this year. It left Iran even more exposed to further air attacks, with Israel destroying several of the country’s Russian-made S-300 radar defence batteries, according to an Israeli official.

An Israeli official said, “The message is that we don’t want an escalation but if Iran decides to escalate and attack Israel again, this means that we have increased our range of freedom of movement in the Iranian skies,”

Iran “knew that Israel was coming, and still, they couldn’t prevent anything,” said Assaf Orion, a retired Israeli brigadier general.

This attack fulfills Biblical end-times prophecies of Israel being the centre of the world’s attention, antisemitism rampant, and all of its surrounding nations intent on its destruction. Prior to 1948 Israel as a nation did not exist. Its miraculous rebirth was the first and most significant of end times prophecies that would signal Jesus return to rescue God’s nation from destruction. We need to be watchful as we may have entered the last seven years (see post my Oct 17th, Where is Iran in Biblical Prophecy) before that happens.

WHERE IS IRAN IN BIBLICAL PROPHECY?

The video below by the evangelist, Tim Shuttlesworth is worth watching. He knows where we are in Biblical history and the importance of Biblical end-times prophecies to prepare us for the coming tribulation. As we continue to watch the retaliations in the Israel-Iran war, the disinformation presented on social media, biased news outlets, antisemitic narratives on college campuses, and sadly the uneducated dialogue of many Christians falls short of a proper Biblical view. All students of the Bible need to be able to understand this war against Israel through the tense of Bible Prophecy. Tim does a worthwhile job of addressing the ongoing developments and provides a prophetic map that reveals exactly where we are headed. He covers three questions:

1. What is the timeline of the current war we are watching in the Middle East?

2. Where is Iran in Bible Prophecy?

3. What is Iran’s role in Final Bible Prophecy? Key Scriptures for today’s teaching: Ezekiel 39:1-7 Other Scriptures in this study: Ezekiel 38 & 39, Deuteronomy 33:29, Psalm 121:4-5 & 7, Isaiah 46:6b, Zechariah 9:16

I do not agree with Tim’s timing of the Rapture. He believes that the rapture happens before the start of tribulation which begins with the opening of the first seal, at year one of the final seven years of this era.

God does not say He will keep us from persecution/tribulation but He does say He will keep us from the time when He pours out His wrath upon the earth. The wrath of God is poured out with the Trumpet and Bowl judgements which commence at the blowing of the trumpet at the opening of the seventh seal at the end of the sixth year. At the sixth seal, we get the following Scripture announcing that the great day of God’s wrath has come.

Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who is seated on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb, for the great day of their wrath has come, and who can stand?Revelation 6:16
