Shavuot on May 14, 1948 - Israel Becomes A Nation Again

 

Shavuot on May 14, 1948?

By Randy Nettles - https://www.raptureready.com/2026/05/19/shavuot-on-may-14-1948-by-randy-nettles/

On November 29, 1947, the General Assembly of the United Nations endorsed a plan to create separate Jewish and Arab states in Palestine. The British mandate over Palestine was scheduled to end on May 15, 1948, at which time the British troops would be evacuating the area. It had been in effect since 1920. See Mandate for Palestine – Wikipedia for more information.

“In anticipation of the end of the British presence in Palestine, David Ben Gurion (Israel’s first Prime Minister) called to order a historic meeting on May 14, 1948. After the assembled body sang the “Hatikvah,” the Jewish national anthem, Ben Gurion read Israel’s Declaration of Independence. For the first time in more than two thousand years, there was an independent Jewish state of Israel.” {1} When & Where In The Bible and Throughout History by E. Michael & Sharon Rusten

The next day, on May 15, 1948, Israel was attacked by five Arab nations: Egypt, Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan. Though greatly outnumbered and outgunned, Israel miraculously defeated this Arab coalition by the end of the year and even gained more territory.

We Are Being Conditioned to Expect Some Sort of A “Big Reveal”, And All of a Sudden, It Seems Like Just About Everyone Is Talking About UFOs And Aliens

 

We Are Being Conditioned to Expect Some Sort of A “Big Reveal”, And All of a Sudden, It Seems Like Just About Everyone Is Talking About UFOs And Aliens

Michael Snyder - https://endoftheamericandream.com/we-are-being-conditioned-to-expect-some-sort-of-a-big-reveal-and-all-of-a-sudden-it-seems-like-just-about-everyone-is-talking-about-ufos-and-aliens/#google_vignette

It isn’t just a coincidence that there has been an explosion in interest in the subject of UFOs and aliens recently. The truth is that we are being conditioned. For decades, books, movies, television shows, and video games have been conditioning us to think a certain way about encounters with very strange unidentified aircraft that are flying through our skies and encounters with very strange unidentified beings that seem to have unusual powers. But now this year it appears that the level of conditioning is reaching a crescendo. We are being told to brace ourselves for some sort of a “big reveal” that will change everything, and that should deeply alarm all of us.

Let me give you an example of what I am talking about.

Right now a new movie by Steven Spielberg entitled “Disclosure Day” is being promoted extremely aggressively. In fact, it has been a long time since I have seen so much hype for a new movie. If you have not seen it yet, the trailer for “Disclosure Day” is extremely creepy…

Despite The Troubling Rise of Jew-hatred, The News Media Is Not Reining in Its Propaganda—they’re Doubling Down

By Breanna Claussen - https://harbingersdaily.com/despite-the-troubling-rise-of-jew-hatred-the-news-media-is-not-reining-in-its-propaganda-theyre-doubling-down/

As I traveled through Illinois on my way to speak at the Worldview Matters Conference earlier this month, an encounter along the way startled me. At a gas station, I was taken aback when the man working behind the counter suddenly pointed to my David’s Star necklace and asked, “Do you feel safe wearing that?” I was briefly on guard until the man reached to show me his own Jewish Chai pendant necklace tucked carefully into his shirt.

The man explained that he often asks individuals wearing prominent Jewish indicators whether they feel concerned for their safety. Having grown up in an area with a large Jewish population, he detailed his shock at witnessing antisemitism become mainstream in his state, even noting verbal abuse he had experienced for his Hebrew jewelry.

Nearing Midnight: A Prelude to Revelation Days

 

Nearing Midnight: A Prelude to Revelation Days

Jonathan Brentner - https://www.raptureready.com/category/nearing-midnight/

How much closer can we get? I’ve been asking myself that question for the past several years. It seems as though the seal judgments of Revelation 6 should’ve kickstarted long ago. Everywhere we look, we see the stage setting for much of what the apocalypse reveals will happen after our departure.

The continuing release of the UFO files by the U.S. government is yet another indication that we live in the last days of human history as we know it. I suspect the disclosures will convince many that the sightings confirm the existence of alien life. The revelations are already deceiving some, as Congressman Eric Burlison recently stated that the disclosures have “challenged his faith in God.”

Really? I see the alien files as yet another validation of prophetic messages contained in the book of Revelation, a prelude to the time of judgment described on its pages.

Pandemic Fears & Apocalypse Fatigue

Dr. David Bowen – https://www.interpretingthetimes.com/blog/pandemic-fears-apocalypse-fatigue

For generations, people have feared the end of the world. Wars, plagues, economic collapses, political upheaval, and natural disasters have repeatedly caused humanity to wonder if civilization itself is nearing a breaking point. Yet in recent years, something different has emerged, not merely fear of catastrophe, but exhaustion from it.

The modern world is experiencing what many psychologists and cultural analysts now describe as “apocalypse fatigue.” After years of pandemics, lockdowns, economic instability, global conflict, social unrest, and relentless media-driven fear cycles, people are emotionally worn down. Many no longer react with urgency to alarming headlines because they have become desensitized. Constant crisis has created spiritual numbness.

Ironically, this emotional fatigue is occurring at the exact moment Bible prophecy indicates the world should be paying closer attention than ever before.
